[♪♪♪] >> Dennis: HI EVERYONE, THANKS FOR WATCHING TONIGHT.

>>> BEMIDJI STATE HAD ALREADY STARTED COLLECTING DONATIONS FOR THEIR FIRST EVER FOR THE NORTH CAMPAIGN, BUT EARLIER TODAY THEY HELD THEIR OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN LAUNCH WITH A BLOCK PARTY CELEBRATION.

OUR REPORTER SYDNEY STOPPED BY TO SEE THE FESTIVITIES, AND LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT THE CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT.

>> Reporter: STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND ALUMNI GATHERED FOR A BLOCK PARTY ON THE BEMIDJI STATE CAMPUS WITH CASH GRABBING, THOUSAND DOLLARS SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN TO STUDENTS, AND PLENTY OF ACTIVITIES.

THE CELEBRATION WAS TO OFFICIALLY LAUNCH THE FOR THE NORTH CAMPAIGN.

>> FOR THE NORTH IS OUR $25 MILLION TARGETED INITIATIVE CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT THREE PILLARS OF THE INSTITUTION.

STUDENT SUCCESS, FACULTY EXISTENCE, AND MARKETING AND RECRUITMENT.

>> Reporter: 20 MILLION OF THE 25 MILLION GOAL WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE STUDENTS.

>> 95% OF OUR STUDENTS AT BEMIDJI AT A TIME RELY ON FINANCIAL AID TO GO TO COLLEGE.

START THINKING ABOUT THAT.

THERE ARE SO MANY DOLLARS THAT CAN COME TO US THROUGH GOVERNMENT SOURCES.

WE NEED FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY, ALUMNI, ET CETERA, STEPPING UP.

>> IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO HAVE THIS SPIRIT OF PHILANTHROPY BACK AND IT MEANS MORE RESOURCES WILL FLOW INTO THE INSTITUTION, TO THE AREAS THAT NEED IT, AND FOR THOSE PILLARS.

>> Reporter: AND THE POINT OF MAKING IT A BLOCK PARTY AND HAVING FUN GAMES AN FREE PRIZES AND FOOD IS TO GET PEOPLE INVOLVED IN A FUN WAY BUT STILL EDUCATE THEM ON WHAT THE CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT.

>> AND IT IS THAT ENERGY OF PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER, COMMUNITY AND ALUMNI WHO ARE COMING HOME, OUR STUDENTS HERE, OUR FACULTY, OUR STAFF.

EVERYBODY COMING TOGETHER, BUILDING THAT EXCITEMENT, SEEING THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE FUTURE.

>> Reporter: FOR THE NORTH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE UNIVERSITY'S FISCAL YEAR, WHICH IS JUNE 30TH.

>> SO WE JUST PASSED $20 MILLION, EN ROUTE TO $25 MILLION.

WE ARE GOING TO GO BEYOND, I CAN FEEL IT.

IT'S GREAT EXCITEMENT.

IT MEANS A LOT TO SEE ALUMNI AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT THE REGION STEPPING UP TO INVEST IN BEMIDJI STATE, INVEST IN OUR STUDENTS, INVEST IF OUR FUTURE, AND IN THE NORTH.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FROM BEMIDJI, I'M SYDNEY DICK, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> Dennis: IF THE UNIVERSITY MEETS THEIR FUNDRAISING GOAL AFTER $20 MILLION TOWARDS STUDENT SUCCESS, THEY PLAN TO ALLOCATE 3 MILLION TOWARDS FACILITY UPGRADES AND 2 MILLION WILL GO TO ENROLLMENT AND RECRUITING.

>>> THE MINNESOTA D.N.R.

>>> OVER 200 PEOPLE ATTENDED AN EVENT OUTSIDE OF THE OLD CROW WING COUNTY COURTHOUSE TODAY TO HONOR OUR NATION'S VETERANS.

GROUPS LIKE BRAINERD NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY, THE MINNESOTA TEEN AND ADULT CHALLENGE, AND FORGOTTEN HEROES RANGES AND RETREATS WERE AMONGST THOSE IN ATTENDANCE TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS.

RETIRED AIR FORCE GENERAL MARK NESS GAVE A SPEECH AND CITED HOW VETERANS FELT ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT.

>> THIS IS NOT A CALENDAR EVENT, THIS IS A SPONTANEOUS GATHERING PUT TOGETHER BY OUR COMMUNITY.

IT'S NOT MEMORIAL DAY, IT'S NOT VETERANS DAY, IT'S REAL AND IT'S HARD FELT AND WE CAN FEEL IT.

>> REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE OFFICE OF REPRESENTATIVE PETE STAUBER AND CONGRESSWOMAN KRISTA KNUDSON WERE ALSO IN ATTENDANCE TO SPEAK WITH THE CROWD.

>>> A WINNING LOTTERY TICKET WORTH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WAS PURCHASED IN CASS LAKE.

THE MINNESOTA LOTTERY SAYS THE WINNING $329,519 PROGRESSIVE PRINT-N-PLAY $5 BINGO TICKET WAS SOLD AT LEECH LAKE MARKET.

NO WORD YET ON IF THE WINNER HAS COME FORWARD.

>>> AS THE U.S.

GOVERNMENT REMAINS SHUT DOWN WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS THREATENED TO CARRY OUT MASS LAYOFFS OF FEDERAL WORKERS IF THE STALEMATE CONTINUES.

WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KAROLINE LEAVITT SAID WEDNESDAY THAT LAYOFFS TO THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE WERE, "IMMINENT."

CORRESPONDENT JULIA BENBROOK IS AT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH THE LATEST.

>> Reporter: IT'S DAY TWO OF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AND NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED.

REPUBLICANS ARE STILL PUSHING FOR ESSENTIALLY AN EXTENSION OF CURRENT FUNDING LEVELS FOR ANOTHER 7 WEEKS AND DEMOCRATS ARE LOOKING FOR CONCESSIONS ON ENHANCED OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES.

WHEN IT COMES TO HOW THIS SHUTDOWN DIFFERS FROM THOSE IN THE PAST, THE THREAT OF MASS FIRINGS LOOM LARGE.

MANY ARE FURLOUGHED DURING THIS TIME, THE WHITE HOUSE IS THREATENING A MORE PERMANENT IMPACT.

>> WE BELIEVE THAT LAYOFFS ARE IMMINENT.

>> WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LAY SOME PEOPLE OFF IF THE SHUTDOWN CONTINUES.

>> Reporter: THIS LINES UP WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S GOAL OF SHRINKING THE SIZE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

IN A POST ON THURSDAY MORNING, HE SEES THE LAPSE IN FUNDING AS AN OPPORTUNITY WRITING "I HAVE A MEETING TODAY WITH PROJECT 2025 TO DETERMINE WHICH OF THE MANY DEMOCRAT AGENCIES, MOST OF WHICH ARE A POLITICAL SCAM, HE RECOMMENDS TO CUT AND WHETHER THOSE CUTS WILL BE TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS GAVE ME THIS UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY".

MANY DEMOCRATS HAVE BRUSHED OFF THE THREAT.

CAROLINE LEAVITT TOLD REPORTERS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO HOW MANY FEDERAL WORKERS WOULD BE IMPACTED IF THEY MOVE FORWARD WITH LAYOFFS, THAT NUMBER WOULD LIKELY BE IN THE THOUSANDS.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE, I'M JULIA BENBROOK.

>> CNN REPORTS THE WHITE HOUSE HAS ALREADY COMPILED A LIST OF AGENCIES IT'S PLANNING ON TARGETING WITH IMPENDING FEDERAL FIRINGS, WHICH IT'S EXPECTING TO ANNOUNCE AS EARLY AS TOMORROW.

[♪♪♪] >> STILL TO COME ON LAKELAND NEWS AT 10:00.

>> Stacy: WE'LL SEE VERY HOT TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT A COLD FRONT ABOUT MID WEEKEND WILL MEAN A COOL DOWN NEXT WEEK.

I'LL HAVE YOUR FORECAST IN A FEW MINUTES.

>> AND COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK WITH THIS WEEK'S GOLDEN APPLE, THE COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS CELEBRATE ORANGE SHIRT DAY.

[♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW MORE NEWS WITH DENNIS WEIMANN.

[♪♪♪] >>> STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND MORE ALL HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IN CENTRAL LAKES COLLEGE'S RAIDERCON DAY THIS PAST WEEK.

REPORTER MILES WALKER WAS IN ATTENDANCE FOR THE ALL-DAY EVENT DEDICATED TO ENSURING STUDENT SUCCESS.

>> Reporter: A DAY INTENDED TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH COUNTLESS WORKSHOPS AND RESOURCES, CLC'S RAIDERCON DAY IS ABOUT BOLSTERING THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE AND HAVING A THEME.

>> IT'S BACK TO THE FUTURE THEME.

IT'S A FUN DAY FOR OUR STUDENTS.

I PUT IT AS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, JUST LIKE YOU WOULD GO TO A CONFERENCE FOR YOUR POSITION OR FOR YOUR CAREER.

STUDENTS ARE DOING THAT HERE ON CAMPUS.

>> Reporter: THE MORNING KICKS OFF WITH THREE SEPARATE WORKSHOP SESSIONS, EACH WITH A MISSION TO HELP STUDENTS BUILD ESSENTIAL SKILLS.

>> WE'RE ALMOST AT 50 WORKSHOPS.

THIS YEAR, WE TOOK EACH WORKSHOP AND WE BROKE IT DOWN TO CATEGORIES, BUILDING YOUR SKILLS FOR THE FUTURE, BUILDING YOUR PLAN FOR THE FUTURE, AND OUR LAST ONE SUPER FUN, BUILDING YOUR CONNECTIONS.

>> Reporter: AND THE STUDENTS APPEAR TO APPRECIATE ALL THAT RAIDERCON DAY HAS TO OFFER.

>> IT'S FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE FRIENDS AND REALLY PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE AND GET TO KNOW MORE PEOPLE AND HELPS MAKE YOU FEEL MORE WELCOMED AND AT HOME HERE.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND TO EVERY STUDENT HERE ON CAMPUS BECAUSE IT TRULY IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

>> Reporter: CENTRAL LAKES COLLEGE ABIDES BY A PROMISE TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY EDUCATION THAT IS AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE, AND ENHANCES THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE AS INSPIRING LEARNING, ADVANCING INNOVATION, AND TRANSFORMING LIVES IS THE MAIN GOAL.

>> THE WORLD AFTER HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE COULD BE SCARY AND HAVING THOSE SKILLS WITH YOU IS VALUABLE SO YOU'RE NOT WANDERING THROUGH THE WORLD WONDERING WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON AND NOT HAVING A CLUE.

>> Reporter: REPORTING IN BRAINERD, MILES WALKER, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> THOSE IN ATTENDANCE FOR CLC'S RAIDERCON DAY ALSO GOT TO SEE A CAR SHOW, TAKE PART IN A PUPPY PALOOZA, AND CAP THE DAY OFF WATCHING THE BACK TO THE FUTURE MOVIE.

>>> TIME FOR WEATHER, STACY IS HERE.

A COUPLE MORE WARM DAYS IN STORE?

>> Stacy: A COUPLE MORE.

WE WILL BE SEEING VERY WARM TEMPERATURES FOR TOMORROW AND THE START OF THE WEEKEND, BUT AS SATURDAY NIGHT, WE WILL START TO SEE A COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA.

SO THAT WILL BRING COLDER TEMPERATURES AS WE HE [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS OCTOBER RIGHT NOW WITH THE TEMPERATURES WE HAVE BEEN SEEING.

WE DO HAVE AT LEAST A FEW MORE DAYS WITH SOME MILD TEMPERATURES BEFORE THAT COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

WE COULD BE SEEING SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS IT CROSSES THE AREA AND WE WILL SEE MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK.

RIGHT NOW IN BEMIDJI, IT'S 59 DEGREES.

WINDS ARE CALM AND HUMIDITY IS AT 88%.

IN BRAINERD, WE HAVE CLEAR SKIES AND 65 DEGREES, A DEW POINT UP TO 63, MUGGY OUT THERE.

PRESSURE IS RISING AND WINDS ARE CALM.

ON OUR SATELLITE AND RADAR, WE HAVE BEEN SEEING A FEW SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF EASTERN MINNESOTA THIS EVENING.

THOSE ARE MOVING OUT.

WE SHOULD BE SEEING PRETTY QUIET WEATHER ACROSS OUR VIEWING AREA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND WE HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF PATCHY FOG, WHICH HAS DEVELOPED.

LOOKING AT TOMORROW, IT LOOKS LIKE MORE SUNSHINE IS IN STORE, AND IT WILL BE A HOT DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 80s.

A LOT OF WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT.

WE HAVE GORGEOUS SKIES THIS MORNING FROM ARLENE IN MENAHGA AND SANDY OVER RABIDEAU LAKE.

CLAYTON SENDING US THIS PHOTO OF THE BEAUTIFUL SKIES IN BEMIDJI.

GARY SPOTTING A FLOCK OF WILD TURKEY IN THE AREA.

JACK SENDING US THIS PICTURE OF A BEAUTIFUL DAY OVER GRACE LAKE, AND LAURIE WITH SOME FALL COLORS, LOOKING LIKE FALL AT LITTLE TURTLE LAKE.

CHRIS SENDING US THIS PHOTO OF THE FOG OVER RED LAKE THIS EVENING.

BILL AND JUDY ENJOYING THE SUNSET OVER UPPER RED LAKE.

ANGELA SENDING US THIS PHOTO OF THE FOG.

BEAUTIFUL SKIES FROM SONYA AT TURTLE RIVER AND DEBRA TAKING THIS PHOTO OF THE EVENING SKIES AT LAKE ADA.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THOSE TONIGHT.

FOR OUR EAGLE EYES REPORTS, JACK IN BEMIDJI REPORTING 80 THIS AFTERNOON.

BOB IN BLUFFTON, SUNNY AND 82.

SANDY AT BLACKDUCK, CLEAR SKIES, TOPPING OUT AT 82.

SONYA AT TURTLE RIVER LAKE, THE HIGH WAS 80.

ARLENE IN LONGVILLE, SUNSHINE AND 81.

DEBRA IN PINE RIVER, 69 THIS EVENING.

ANGELA AT CASS LAKE REPORTING CLEAR SKIES AND FOGGY PATCHES AND HIGHS NEAR 81.

LOOKING AT OUR ALMANAC, 84 WAS OUR HIGH IN BRAINERD.

WE DID FALL A FEW DEGREES SHY OF THE RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE.

63 WAS OUR LOW, SUNSET AT 6:52.

BEMIDJI TOPPING OUT AT 80 AND THAT IS A FULL 20 DEGREES ABOVE THE AVERAGE.

OUR LOW WAS 62 AND WE HAD SUNRISE AT 7:22.

SO LOOKING AT TOMORROW'S FORECAST, WE MAY SEE SOME AREAS OF FOG IN THE MORNING AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL BE SEEING SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY.

A LOT OF SUNSHINE THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE VERY WARM, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT COOLER IN THE FAR NORTHWEST, WARROAD LOOKING AT 79, BUT WE SHOULD SEE MID-80s ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA AND IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA, MID TO UPPER 80s FOR OUR HIGHS.

SO OUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY, LOWS NEAR 56.

LOOKING AT TOMORROW, PLENTY OF SUNSHINE, 84 FOR THE HIGH, SOUTHEAST WINDS AT 5 TO 15.

OUR WEEKEND FORECAST WILL FEATURE MORE SUNSHINE SATURDAY AND SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ROLL IN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS THE COLD FRONT STARTS TO CROSS THE AREA.

SO HIGHS ARE IN THE 80s THROUGH SATURDAY, WE'LL START TO SEE THE COOLER AIR FILTERING IN ON SUNDAY, AND LOOK AT THOSE TEMPERATURES MONDAY AND TUESDAY, HIGHS ONLY IN THE 50s, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE MAINLY QUIET OUT THERE.

BACK TO YOU.

>> Dennis: THANKS STACY.

CHARLIE IS HERE NOW.

YOU HAVE A FULL LOAD OF SPORTS TONIGHT.

>> Charlie: WE DO, WE HAVE A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON.

WE HAD A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS TODAY BUT WE ALSO HAD A CHANCE TO SEE -- EXCUSE ME, TALK TO BEMIDJI STATE MEN'S HOCKEY, WOMEN'S HOCKEY, FOOTBALL, AND MEN'S HOCKEY IS STARTING THEIR SEASON AGAINST ANCHORAGE, ALASKA.

WE HAVE THAT AND MORE COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK.

[♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW YOUR LOCAL SPORTS WITH CHARLIE YAEGER.

[♪♪♪] >> Charlie: WE'RE GOING TO START OFF TONIGHT WITH A LITTLE JEOPARDY.

THE CATEGORY IS COLLEGE HOCKEY.

THE LAST FRONTIER IN THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN IS WHERE BSU MEN'S HOCKEY WILL BEGIN THEIR SEASON TOMORROW.

IF YOU SAID, "WHAT IS ALASKA?”, THEN YOU'D BE CORRECT.

BEMIDJI STATE KICKS-OFF THE YEAR NORTH OF THE 60TH PARALLEL AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA AT ANCHORAGE.

IT'S THE BEAVER'S LONGEST ROAD TRIP OF THE SEASON AT NEARLY 3,000-MILES, AND IT'S ACROSS THREE TIME ZONES WHICH MEANS, THE 7:00 P.M.

LOCAL PUCK DROP IS THE EQUIVALENT OF 10:00 P.M.

HERE IN MINNESOTA.

PRETTY LATE TO BE STARTING ANY SPORTING EVENT, BUT NOT SOMETHING THE BEAVS ARE TOO CONCERNED ABOUT.

>> I HAD NEVER REALLY WORRIED TOO MUCH ABOUT IT.

I DON'T THINK THE GUYS DO EITHER.

DO YOU GET ACCLIMATED TO THE TIME CHANGE?

PROBABLY NOT.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET OFF EARLY.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, ON FRIDAY NIGHT WE'RE GOING TO SEE A TIRED BUNCH OF GUYS.

THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT WE MANAGE THE BENCH PROPERLY, WE ROLL FOUR LINES, WE DO ALL THOSE THINGS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A GOOD CHANCE AND GOOD ENERGY.

>> IT'S EXCITING, WE HAVE A BRAND NEW GROUP OF GUYS, NEW FACES, BUT IT'S BEEN A GOOD START TO THE SEASON.

THE BOYS ARE PUMPED.

WE HAVE BEEN HITTING SOME AREAS THAT WE KNOW AND SOME TRIGGERS WE KNOW WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE FIRST WEEKEND, WE'RE GOOD HOCKEY PLAYERS.

TRUST THAT WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN AND PLAY HOCKEY.

>> THIS WILL BE THE BEAVERS FIRST MEETING WITH THE SEAWOLVES SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2020 WHEN THEY WERE STILL BOTH IN THE WCHA, SINCE THE GAME STARTS AS WE GO ON THE AIR WE UNFORTUNATELY WON'T HAVE ANY HIGHLIGHTS, BUT WE WILL UPDATE YOU ON THE SCORE.

>>> BSU WOMEN'S HOCKEY CONTINUES THEIR SEASON AT HOME THIS WEEKEND WHEN THEY TAKE ON ROBERT MORRIS.

BEMIDJI STATE WAS SWEPT BY REIGNING NATIONAL CHAMPION AND NUMBER ONE RANKED WISCONSIN IN WEEK ONE, AND DESPITE THE COLONIALS NOT SPORTING THAT SAME LEVEL OF TALENT, THE BEAVERS MINDSET FOR THIS WEEKEND'S MATCH-UP HASN'T CHANGED.

>> WE DON'T GO ON THE WEEKEND FOCUSING ON OUR OPPONENT AND WHO THEY ARE.

LIKE WE KNOW THEIR TENDENCIES AND STUFF, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO THEY ARE.

WE'RE GOING IN LIKE THEY ARE THE BADGERS.

>> IT'S REALLY ABOUT US EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.

THAT WAS OUR MESSAGE YESTERDAY TO OUR TEAM AS HOW WE PREPARE.

IT'S ALL ABOUT US THIS WEEK.

>> BSU WAS SWEPT BY ROBERT MORRIS LAST SEASON IN PENNSYLVANIA, BUT BEAT THEM IN 2023 AT THE BATTLE OF THE BURGH, PRIOR TO THAT, 2016 WAS TWO TEAMS LAST MEETING, THE BEAVS ARE 9-5-AND-1 ALL TIME VERSUS THE COLONIALS.

>>> BSU FOOTBALL HAS YET TO RECORD A WIN THIS SEASON, BUT IF GETTING THEIR FIRST WIN AGAINST NORTHERN STATE THIS SATURDAY ISN'T ENOUGH MOTIVATION, THERE IS THE FACT THAT IT'S HOMECOMING.

WHICH MEANS A VICTORY EARNS THE BEAVERS A JUMP INTO LAKE BEMIDJI.

NOW THIS IS ACTUAL FOOTAGE OF THE TRADITIONS ORIGINS IN 1995 AFTER A 25-14 WIN OVER WINONA STATE.

IT HAS CARRIED ON EVER SINCE, THE MOST RECENT SPLASH FEST CAME LAST YEAR WHEN THEY BEAT U-MARY, AND GIVEN THE CLIMATE THIS WEEKEND BOTH ON THE FIELD AND IN THE FORECAST, A DIP IN THE LAKE WOULD DO THE BEAVERS SOME GOOD.

>> IT WILL BE A GREAT DAY TO HOP IN THE LAKE.

THAT'S OUR EXPECTATION, BUT WITH THE START OF THE SEASON, WE WANTED TO REDEDICATE OURSELVES TO THE LITTLE THINGS, BEING RESILIENT TO ADVERSITY, AND MENTALITY.

IT'S A REALLY GOOD TRADITION AND IT'S ALWAYS REALLY COOL RUNNING OUT THERE WHEN YOU GET A WIN.

I THINK RIGHT NOW FOR THIS TEAM AND WHERE WE'RE AT, WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON JUST DOING EVERY REP CORRECT.

JUST FOCUS ON DOING YOUR JOB EVERY SINGLE PLAY AND THAT IS WHAT WILL GET US THE WIN.

IT DOESN'T GET US ANYWHERE JUST IDOLIZING THAT WIN.

>> Dennis: WELL, THEY GOT NORTHERN STATE FOR HOMECOMING, THE KICK OFF IS AT 1:00 P.M.

THEY DID UPSET BEMIDJI STATE LAST YEAR AT NORTHERN STATE, SO THERE IS SOME MOTIVATION ON TOP, AND JUMP IN THE LAKE IS GETTING THEM BACK FOR LAST YEAR.

>>> A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS FOR YOU, BEMIDJI GIRLS VOLLEYBALL COMING OFF THEIR FIRST WIN ON TUESDAY, HOSTING ST.

LUMBERJACKS WERE EDGED BY THE SPUDS TONIGHT, 94-90, THEY'LL HOST FOSSTON-BAGLEY NEXT THURSDAY.

IN HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER, GRAND RAPIDS TIES DULUTH DENFELD 2-2.

>> Dennis: VERY GOOD.

THANKS CHARLIE.

EACH YEAR, SEPTEMBER 30TH MARKS THE NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION.

FOR THIS WEEK'S GOLDEN APPLE, OUR REPORTER MATTHEW FREEMAN STOPPED BY THE AURORA WASSAKONE COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS, TO LEARN HOW THE SCHOOL DECIDED TO HONOR THE CHILDREN WHO WERE LOST TO THE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL SYSTEM.

[♪♪♪] >> Reporter: THE NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION, ALSO KNOWN AS ORANGE SHIRT DAY, IS A COMMEMORATIVE DAY LED BY INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE INTERGENERATIONAL IMPACTS OF RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS ON INDIGENOUS CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.

>> EVERY CHILD MATTERS AND IN OUR PAST IN THE U.S.

AND CANADA, WE TREATED NATIVE AMERICANS VERY BADLY.

BOARDING SCHOOLS HAPPENED AND WE WEAR ORANGE TO SIGNIFY THAT.

>> ONE WORE AN ORANGE SHIRT TO SCHOOL AND IT WAS TAKEN FROM HER.

SO WE'RE RECLAIMING THAT.

>> Reporter: THE ORANGE SHIRT WORN BY EVERY STUDENT AND TEACHER DURING THE WALK SYMBOLIZINGS THE LOSS OF CULTURE, FREEDOM, AND SELF-ESTEEM THAT MANY INDIGENOUS CHILDREN EXPERIENCED.

SHIRTS CARRIED THE MESSAGE EVERY CHILD MATTERS.

>> IT MAKES ME THINK OF MY LATE GRANDMOTHER THAT PASSED ON.

SHE TAUGHT KINDERGARTEN FOR 35 YEARS AND I THINK SHE WOULD BE REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK WE'RE DOING HERE AND SHE WORKED WITH CHILDREN HER WHOLE LIFE.

I THINK SHE WOULD BE REALLY HAPPY TO SEE CHILDREN CARRYING ON THE CULTURE AND THE LANGUAGE.

>> Reporter: FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, STUDENTS AT THE COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS DAWNED THEIR ORANGE SHIRTS AND MARCHED THROUGH THE SCHOOL FOREST A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD.

>> WE DO THAT SO THE COMMUNITY ARE WONDERING WHAT THESE KIDS ARE DOING IN THE ORANGE SHIRTS, SO THEY CAN RESEARCH AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR SCHOOL AND THE MOVEMENT.

>> THEY WERE REALLY PROUD OF THEMSELVES AND THE WORK THEY HAD DONE AND ALL YEAR LONG, WE HEARD ABOUT THIS WALK IN OUR MMIW WALK, SO THE KIDS WERE ASKING THIS YEAR IF WE WERE HAVING A WALK.

SO WE DEFINITELY ARE PLANNING TO DO THIS EVERY YEAR.

>> Reporter: SHE FEELS THAT HER ROLE AS A NON-INDIGENOUS EDUCATOR IS TO MAKE SURE THE STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS AND EVERY CHILD MATTERS.

>> THERE IS STILL A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE.

THE HISTORY OF SCHOOLS AND HOW SCHOOLS HAVE IMPACTED NATIVE FAMILIES IS HEAVY, AND IT'S A LOT OF WORK, SO EDUCATORS NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO MOVE FORWARD SO WE CAN HAVE A BETTER OUTCOME FOR OUR STUDENTS.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FOR THIS WEEK'S GOLDEN APPLE, I'M MATTHEW FREEMAN, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> THE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL SYSTEM OPERATED FOR OVER A CENTURY.

WITH THE FIRST SCHOOL OPENING IN 18-28, AND THE LAST SCHOOL CLOSED JUST 28 YEARS AGO IN 1997.

>>> ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE MORE LOOK AT OUR WEATHER AS WE WRAP UP THE SHOW.

>> Stacy: WE ARE GOING TO SEE FAIRLY QUIET AND WARM WEATHER OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES TONIGHT, LOWS NEAR 56, VARIABLE WINDS UP TO 5.

PLENTY OF SUNSHINE TOMORROW, HIGHS IN THE MID-80s, SOUTHEAST WINDS AT 5 TO 15.

STILL VERY WARM THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT A BIG COOL DOWN AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

>> Charlie: A LATE SCORE, LITTLE FALLS GIRLS SOCCER, UNFORTUNATELY THEY LOST TO ALEXANDRIA.

>> Dennis: ALL RIGHT, WE'RE OUT OF TIME.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY, WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

>> Charlie: GOOD NIGHT.
