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

>>> THE SEVERE STORM THAT HIT BEMIDJI IN JUNE WITH WINDS OF OVER 100 MILES PER HOUR CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE SANFORD CENTER.

THE CENTER SUFFERED DAMAGE TO ITS ROOF AND WATER DAMAGE INSIDE THE FACILITY.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ALREADY APPROVED $1.3 MILLION FOR REPAIRS AND THAT'S JUST A PORTION OF WHAT WILL BE NEEDED.

BUT IT'S NOT ALL BAD NEWS.

>> THAT'S THE MIDDLE, IT'S NOT THE BEGINNING, IT'S NOT THE END.

YOU KNOW, WE DID A ROUGH REPLACEMENT TO THE TUNE ABOUT 85, I THINK.

THAT WAS DURING THE EMERGENCY PART OF IT.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE A SIZABLE AMOUNT.

THE SILVER LINING FOR US, I GUESS AS A CITY, IS BEING A LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES INSURANCE TRUST MEMBER, WE'RE PAYING A DEDUCTIBLE TO RESTORE A LOT OF THESE THINGS.

WE'RE NOT BEARING THE BRUNT OF ALL OF THAT COST AND REPAIR.

YOU KNOW, THE BAD NEWS IS NOT NECESSARILY THE MONEY AS FAR AS THE REPAIR GOES, IT'S THE TIMELINE YOU ARE FORCED INTO FOR THE REPAIRS TO OPERATE WHEN YOU NEED TO MEET SOME OF YOUR OBLIGATIONS.

>> Dennis: ALL UPCOMING EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR THE SANFORD CENTER ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE BUT ALL SEATING MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE.

OUR SYDNEY DICK WILL HAVE MORE TOMORROW NIGHT AT 10:00.

>>> TODAY IS THE 24TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 9-11, 2001 TERROR ATTACKS THAT KILLED NEARLY THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE IN NEW YORK, WASHINGTON D.C., AND PENNSYLVANIA.

A MEMORIAL SERVICE WAS HELD AT THE PENTAGON TO HONOR THE 24TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 9-11 TERROR ATTACKS.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP, AND NUMEROUS FEDERAL LAWMAKERS AND OFFICIALS ATTENDED THE CEREMONY.

>> ON THAT FATEFUL DAY, SAVAGE MONSTERS ATTACKED THE SYMBOL OF OUR CIVILIZATION, YET HERE IN VIRGINIA, AND IN THE SKIES OVER PENNSYLVANIA, AMERICANS DID NOT HESITATE.

THEY STOOD ON THEIR FEET AND THEY SHOWED THE WORLD THAT WE WILL NEVER YIELD, WE WILL NEVER BEND, WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP, AND OUR GREAT AMERICAN FLAG WILL NEVER, EVER FAIL.

>> ALSO IN NEW YORK TODAY, AT 8:46 A.M., THERE WAS A CITYWIDE MOMENT OF SILENCE MARKING THE TIME HIJACKED AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 11 STRUCK THE NORTH TOWER OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER.

ANOTHER MOMENT OF SILENCE WAS HELD AT 9:03 A.M., THE TIME HIJACKED UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 175 STRUCK THE SOUTH TOWER.

OTHER MOMENTS OF SILENCE WERE HELD MARKING THE TIMES WHEN EACH TOWER FELL.

>>> TENANTS FROM THE BEMIDJI RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, SANFORD HEALTH'S BAKER PARK, GATHERED AT THE BEMIDJI VETERANS HOME EARLIER TODAY TO PRESENT THE MONEY THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FUNDRAISING FOR, FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS.

BETWEEN LUNCHES AND BAKE SALES, BAKER PARK RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER TO GET A DONATION FOR THE VETERAN'S HOME, AND THE PRESENTATION DAY FELL ON SEPTEMBER 11TH.

EVERYONE DONNED THEIR RED, WHITE, AND BLUE, AND GATHERED NOT ONLY TO CELEBRATE THE MONETARY DONATION TO THE VETERANS HOME, BUT ALSO TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE VICTIMS OF THE SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001 ATTACKS, AND CELEBRATE THE NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE AND REMEMBRANCE.

>> AN EFFORT THAT WE WANTED TO DO BECAUSE WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE VETERANS, IT IS A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND IT IS SO GOOD THAT WE HAVE THIS FOR THE VETERANS.

>> IT WAS NO BIG THING, IT WAS $512, BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER IT WAS A BUNCH OF GEEZERS DOING IT, WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT WE COULD DO THAT.

>> AT THE EVENT, A TRIBUTE WAS ALSO PAID TO ALL OF THE VETERANS LIVING AT THE HOME, AND THOSE LIVING AT BAKER PARK.

>>> WHO SHOT CONSERVATIVE ACTIVIST CHARLIE KIRK?

THE F.B.I.

IS ON A MASSIVE HUNT FOR ANSWERS.

THEY ARE SIFTING THROUGH PHYSICAL EVIDENCE, VIDEO FOOTAGE AND TIPS, TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING THE 31-YEAR-OLD DURING A SPEAKING EVENT AT UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY ON WEDNESDAY.

KIRK COFOUNDED THE CONSERVATIVE YOUTH ORGANIZATION TURNING POINT U.S.A. AND WAS A CLOSE ALLY OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.

SHERRELL HUBBARD HAS THE LATEST INTO THE INVESTIGATION.

>> Reporter: INVESTIGATORS SPENT THURSDAY ON A MANHUNT FOR CHARLIE KIRK'S KILLER.

PHYSICALLY SEARCHING THROUGH AREA NEIGHBORHOODS, OFFERING UP A $100,000 REWARD, AND RELEASING THESE PHOTOS OF A PERSON OF INTEREST TO ELICIT CLUES FROM THE PUBLIC.

>> WE FIND OURSELVES LOOKING FOR A MURDERER.

>> Reporter: THEY BELIEVE THE GUNMAN JUMPED OFF A BUILDING AND FLED TO A NEARBY NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY HAVE VIDEO SHOWING THE SUSPECTED GUNMAN.

>> WE TRACKED HIS MOVEMENTS ON TO THE CAMPUS, THROUGH THE STAIRWELLS, ACROSS THE ROOF TO A SHOOTING LOCATION.

>> Reporter: CELL PHONE VIDEO FROM THE EVENT SHOWS WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL IN DARK CLOTHING ON THE ROOFTOP OF ONE OF THE SCHOOL'S BUILDINGS.

THE F.B.I.

SAYS THEY RECOVERED FOOTWEAR IMPRESSES, A PALM PRINT, AND THE LIKELY WEAPON.

>> WE RECOVERED WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE WEAPON THAT WAS USED IN YESTERDAY'S SHOOTING.

IT WAS A HIGH POWERED RIFLE.

THAT RIFLE WAS RECOVERED IN A WOODED AREA WHERE THE SHOOTER HAD FLED.

>> Reporter: THE RECOVERED RIFLE AND AMMUNITION HAD PRAISES RELATED TO CULTURAL ISSUES WRITTEN ON THEM THAT THE F.B.I.

IS ANALYZING, ACCORDING TO AN A.T.F.

REPORT.

AUTHORITIES SAY THEY FOUND A SCREWDRIVER THAT HELPED THE SHOOTER TAKE APART HIS GUN, MAKING IT EASIER TO CONCEAL AS HE MADE HIS GET AWAY FROM THE SCENE.

>> TO TURN THAT INTO A HAND FULL OF PARTS THAT WOULDN'T BE AS IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIABLE TO PEOPLE IN THE CROWD.

>> Reporter: I'M SHERRELL HUBBARD REPORTING.

>> INVESTIGATOR ARE STILL PUTTING TOGETHER THE PIECES OF WEDNESDAY'S FATAL SHOOTING.

A PERSON OF INTEREST PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED BY AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE SHOOTING WAS RELEASED FROM CUSTODY BY YESTERDAY EVENING.

>>> BRAINERD'S WILD ASS MOTORCYCLE SEATS COMPANY IS HOSTING A TWO-DAY MOTORCYCLE EVENT THIS WEEKEND, IN AN EFFORT TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR THOSE THAT BATTLE DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY.

ALL FUNDS RAISED WILL GO TOWARDS SHRINERS HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN AND MILE MONSTERS, A GROUP OF LONG-DISTANCE MOTORCYCLE ENDURANCE RIDERS COMPETING IN CHALLENGES AND RACES TO RAISE BOTH AWARENESS AND MONEY TO GIVE KIDS WITH THE DISEASE NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND ACTIVITIES.

ACCORDING TO THE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY ASSOCIATION, DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY IS A PROGRESSIVE, NEUROMUSCULAR DISORDER THAT LEADS TO PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE DEGENERATION AND WEAKNESS.

THERE IS NO KNOWN CURE TO D.M.D.

AT THIS TIME, WHICH IS ALL THE MORE REASON WILD ASS WANTS TO DO ALL IT CAN FOR THE YOUNG HEROES.

>> WELL DESERVED TO LIVE OUR LIVES TO THE FULLEST, RIGHT?

THESE KIDS DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

THEY DREW THE SHORT STRAW.

WE DON'T RAISE MONEY TO PROVIDE RESEARCH AND DO THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE DO WHAT WE SAY HAS HELPED THESE HEROES LIVE THEIR BEST LIFE.

YOU JUST HAVE TO FACE YOUR FEARS.

THAT'S WHY WE CALL THESE KIDS OUR HEROES, THEY'RE OUT HERE DOING THIS.

>> THE FUNDRAISER GETS UNDERWAY TOMORROW EVENING AT 6:00 P.M. AND 10:00 A.M. SATURDAY MORNING, THE LAKES AREA SHRINERS WILL BE PROVIDING FOOD FOR THE ENTIRE EVENT.

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

>> Stacy: WE HAVE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW.

IT LOOKS LIKE EVEN WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL BE ARRIVING FOR THE WEEKEND.

I'LL HAVE YOUR FORECAST IN A FEW MINUTES.

>> AND COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK FOR THIS WEEK'S GOLDEN APPLE, ONE BEMIDJI MIDDLE SCHOOL SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASS IS MAKING THE MOST OF THEIR TIME WITH A 3D PRINTER.

[♪♪♪ [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW MORE NEWS WITH ACCIDENT DEN.

[♪♪♪] >>> THE GREATER LAKES AREA PERFORMING ARTS COMMUNITY THEATER COMPANY IS GETTING READY TO RAISE THE CURTAIN ON THEIR FALL PRODUCTION OF ANNIE.

THE MUSICAL FOLLOWS THE TITULAR CHARACTER ANNIE WHO NAVIGATES LIFE THROUGH A CRUEL ORPHANAGE BEFORE FINDING HERSELF IN POSITION TO BE ADOPTED BY A BILLIONAIRE.

THE CAST IS MADE UP OF PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, THE YOUNGEST BEING 4 AND THE OLDEST 80, FROM ALL ACROSS THE BRAINERD LAKES AREA.

>> THIS IS THE MOST FOCUSED GROUP I HAVE EVER WORK WITH IN A THEATER PRODUCTION.

THEY LISTEN, THEY PAY ATTENTION, AND THEY DO AND THAT IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

OH, IT'S GOING TO BE EXCELLENT.

>> OPENING NIGHT ON THE PRODUCTION IS SEPTEMBER 18TH, WITH PERFORMANCES RUNNING FOR THE FOLLOWING TWO WEEKENDS AS WELL.

>>> WELL, STACY IS HERE NOW AND TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE 80 DEGREE WEATHER.

>> Stacy: IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO SEE A WARM UP AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND AND WE SHOULD SEE HIGHS CLIMBING INTO THE 80s.

A LITTLE BIT OF SUMMER HERE IN SEPTEMBER.

FOR TONIGHT, WE COULD BE SEEING SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND THOSE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW.

AS I MENTIONED, TEMPERATURES DO WARM UP HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AND IT LOOKS FAIRLY MILD AS WE [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, WE DID HAVE SOME CLOUD COVER TODAY, SOME OF US ENJOYED A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE.

AGAIN, WE DID HAVE THE CLOUDY CONDITIONS TO START THE DAY.

OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, WE COULD BE SEEING SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA.

THOSE WILL CONTINUE INTO TOMORROW.

TEMPERATURE-WISE, IT IS NOT GOING TO BE BRINGING THOSE TEMPERATURES DOWN.

IN FACT, WE WILL BE SEEING WARMER TEMPERATURES AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WITH MANY OF US SEEING HIGHS IN THE 80s.

RIGHT NOW IN BEMIDJI, IT'S 63 DEGREES.

AT THE STUDIO, WE HAVE A SOUTHEAST WIND AT 9 MILES PER HOUR.

OUR DEW POINT IS 59 AND HUMIDITY IS AT 88%.

IN BRAINERD, PARTLY CLOUDY AND 63, A DEW POINT OF 60, PRESSURE IS HOLDING STEADY AND WINDS ARE VARIABLE AT 3.

ON THE SATELLITE AND RADAR, WE HAVE BEEN SEEING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THAT BORDER WITH CANADA IN FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA, A FEW AREAS OF MOISTURE, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN FALLING AFTER THAT.

AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT, THIS LITTLE BAND MOVES OUT AND WE COULD BE SEEING MORE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT, PARTICULARLY IN PARTS OF WESTERN MINNESOTA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW.

IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE WILL BE SEEING A LITTLE BIT MORE SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE EVEN WARMER THAN WE HAD TODAY.

SOME WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT, SAMROSE SENDING US THIS PHOTO OF LOWER RED LAKE BEFORE SUNRISE THIS MORNING.

SONYA NEAR TURTLE RIVER LAKE.

GARY SPOTTING SOME SIGNS OF FALL OUT THERE.

A LITTLE BIT OF FALL COLOR OUT THERE.

RALPH SENDING US THIS PHOTO OF THE DEER IN HIS YARD IN JENKINS.

JOAN WITH SOME HUMMINGBIRDS IN LAPORTE.

THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING THOSE TONIGHT.

FOR OUR EAGLE EYES REPORTS, ARLENE IN MENAHGA, 52 WITH FOG DISSIPATING LATE THIS MORNING.

BOB IN BLUFFTON, FOG, CLOUDS, AND SOME LATE SUN TODAY.

SONYA AT TURTLE RIVER LAKE, 67 AND CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON.

ARLENE IN LONGVILLE, FOG, CLOUDS, AND SUNSHINE TODAY.

STEPHANIE IN BRAINERD, WE HAD A HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 70.

JOAN IN LAPORTE, PARTLY SUNNY WITH A NICE BREEZE.

ON THE ALMANAC, BRAINERD TOPPING OUT AT 70 TODAY.

WE'RE A LITTLE BIT COOLER THAN THE AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE.

THE LOW IS RIGHT ON TARGET AT 49.

SUNSET IS AT 7:34.

BEMIDJI REACHING A HIGH OF 69, SO AGAIN A VERY SEASONAL HIGH TEMPERATURE, 49 WAS OUR LOW, AND SUNSET AT 7:37.

LOOKING AT TOMORROW'S FORECAST, IN THE MORNING WE WILL SEE A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, WHICH WILL BE MAKING ITS WAY SOUTH AND EASTWARD ACROSS THE STATE.

HEADING INTO THE AFTERNOON, THERE MAY BE A FEW POP-UP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HERE AND THERE, BUT OVERALL, IT LOOKS QUIETER AND WE'LL SEE MORE SUNSHINE HEADING INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 70s, ABOUT 72 IN WARROAD, BUT MID TO UPPER 70s IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA, COULD BE CLOSER TO 80 IN PARK RAPIDS WITH SOME LOW 80s ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE.

HERE'S OUR FORECAST, MOSTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT, A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, MOST OF THOSE WILL BE IN WESTERN MINNESOTA ON THE OVERNIGHT.

LOWS NEAR 60.

VARIABLE CLOUDS TOMORROW WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY AROUND LAKE OF THE WOODS, BUT AGAIN WE HAVE THE LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, WHICH WILL BE MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE STATE.

HIGHS NEAR 77.

LOOKING AT OUR WEEKEND FORECAST, WE WILL BE SEEING PARTLY SUNNY AND 81 ON SATURDAY, 83 ON SUNDAY, COULD START TO SEE A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURNING TO NORTHWEST MINNESOTA LATE THIS WEEKEND, A LITTLE BIT UNSETTLED EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT TEMPERATURES ARE MILD WITH HIGHS AROUND 80.

BACK TO YOU.

>> Dennis: THANK YOU STACY.

CHARLIE IS HERE NOW.

YOU'RE ON THE ROAD TONIGHT IN BLACKDUCK, RIGHT?

>> Charlie: YEAH, I GUESS YOU CALL IT ON THE ROAD.

IT'S A HALF HOUR FROM HERE, BUT I HAD A CHANCE TO HEAD TO BLACKDUCK.

THEY WERE PLAYING WALKER-HACKENSACK-AKELEY IN A LITTLE BIT OF VOLLEYBALL.

WE HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THAT AND SOME OTHER HIGHLIGHT FROM AROUND THE AREA AS WELL, PLUS WE HEAR FRO [♪♪♪] >> NOW YOUR LOCAL SPORTS WITH CHARLIE YAEGER.

>> BLACKDUCK GIRLS VOLLEYBALL IS OFF TO A RED HOT 4-0 START, HAVING DROPPED ONLY ONE SET ALL SEASON.

CONVERSELY, IT'S BEEN FEAST OR FAMINE FOR WALKER-HACKENSACK-AKELEY, WHO HAVE EITHER WON OR LOST ALL THEIR MATCHES 3-0.

THE WOLVES AND DRAKES SQUARED OFF TONIGHT IN BLACKDUCK, BOTH UNBEATEN IN NORTHLAND CONFERENCE PLAY.

EARLY IN THE FIRST SET, WOLVES TRAIL 10-7.

BROOKLYN, QUICK MOVE, THEY CUT THE LEAD TO 2 POINTS.

THEN DRAKE STILL LEADS AND KIA COMES WITH THE ACE.

SHE HAD FOUR IN THE FIRST SET ALONE.

LAYING IT ON THE LINE, AND THEN FINISHING THE PLAY.

17-12, McKENNA, DEADLY.

GETS THE KILL AND BRINGS THE SCORE WITHIN 4, AND THEY HAD TOO MUCH TONIGHT.

A LOT OF IT WAS BECAUSE BLOOM OFF THE LEFT SIDE HERE AND THROUGH THE BLOCK.

BLACKDUCK TAKES THAT ONE 25-18.

THEY GO ON TO WIN IN STRAIGHT SETS, 26-24, AND 25-22.

DRAKE REMAINS UNBEATEN AT 5-0.

THE WOLVES DROP TO 1 AND 4.

>>> ALSO IN GIRLS VOLLEYBALL, GRANDS RAPIDS AT DULUTH EAST.

RUBY WILL GO FOR THE KILL, BUT IT'S REJECTED BY COLBY, AND EAST CAN'T RETURN IT.

WE'RE EVEN AT 5.

NEXT PLAY, CAITLIN TRIES FOR THE KILL, BUT VINNY KEEPS IT ALIVE AND CHELSEA TEES IT UP AND THESE TWO WILL GO BACK AND FORTH.

GRAND RAPIDS COMES OUT ON TOP.

T HAWKS IMPROVE TO 7-4 FOR THE SEASON.

>>> BEMIDJI FALLS TO MOORHEAD 4-0.

BRAINERD DROPS ONE TO RECORY, LITTLE FALLS FALLS TO ALBANY.

RUSH CITY BEATS AITKIN AND ROYALTON BEATS KIMBULL.

AND FOSSTON LOOSES TONIGHT, NEVIS BEATS PINE RIVER-BACKUS.

IN BOYS SOCCER, ALEXANDRIA, 1-0 OVER BRAINERD.

CLOSE GAME THERE.

IN BOYS SOCCER, LITTLE FALLS AND LONG PRAIRIE GREY EAGLE, BOTH PICKING UP WINS.

BEMIDJI GETS A 7-0 WIN OVER HILL CREST LUTHERAN.

ALSO LITTLE FALLS GETTING A WIN BUT WALKER-HACKENSACK-AKELEY CANNOT BEAT TWO HARBORS.

BEMIDJI STATE, THEY COLLECT THEIR FIRST WIN IN WOMEN'S COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL, 3-0.

IN THE WNBA, THE MINNESOTA LYNX, THEY GET THE WIN TONIGHT AND THEY WILL BE MATCHED UP WITH GOLDEN STATE IN THE PLAYOFFS.

THAT WILL START HERE SOON BECAUSE THAT WAS THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON.

>>> BEMIDJI STATE FOOTBALL WILL PLAY THEIR FIRST HOME GAME OF THE SEASON THIS SATURDAY WHEN THEY HOST THE UNIVERSITY OF SIOUX FALLS.

THE BEAVERS ARE STILL WINLESS AFTER TWO ROAD LOSSES TO START THE YEAR, AND ARE HOPING A RETURN TO THE CHET MIGHT SPARK THE FIRE THEY NEED TO GET THAT FIRST W. >> FROM THE FIRST GAME TO THE SECOND GAME, WE STEPPED UP AND WE TOOK A BIG STEP FORWARD.

WE NEED TO TAKE THE SAME STEP INTO THIS GAME.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS PLAY FOUR QUARTERS OF FOOTBALL.

IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE PLAYING WELL, WE'RE PLAYING REALLY WELL.

WHEN WE DON'T PLAY WELL, WE SCREW OURSELVES UP.

IT'S NOT THE OTHER TEAMS.

THEN IT MAKES IT HARD FOR US TO WIN.

I'M EXCITED TO GET HOME, GET SOME FANS, GET SOME ENERGY.

IT'S HARD TO BE ON THE ROAD, 7 HOURS AWAY EVERY WEEKEND, BUT WITH THE FANS, HAVING EVERYBODY HERE, IT WILL BE FUN.

>> THE BEAVS HAVE MANAGED TO TAKE THE LEAD EARLY IN THEIR FIRST TWO GAMES, SCORING ON THEIR FIRST DRIVE AND LEADING AT THE HALF IN BOTH, BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO MUSTER ANY POINTS IN THE SECOND HALF.

SOMETHING THEY'VE EMPHASIZED THIS WEEK IN PRACTICE.

>> YEAH, THE MAIN THING IS OFFENSIVE FOCUS.

WE JUST HAVE TO CONTINUE FINISH DRIVES, KEEP ON WANTING IT.

WE GOT RELAXED BUT KNOWING WE HAVE A LEAD, THAT EATS US UP.

WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT FOCUS SO WE CAN FINISH DRIVES IN THE GAME.

>> WE CAN HAVE MEMORIES, LIFE, SPORTS, WHATEVER, YOU DON'T GET THE RESULT YOU WANT, JUST GET BACK ON THE HORSE AND KEEP GOING.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT TO DO THIS WEEK AND AS SOON AS THIS GAME IS OVER, WE'LL WORRY ABOUT THE NEXT.

SO THE KIDS HAVE HAD GOOD.

WE'RE GETTING TO PLAY BETTER AND ONCE WE GET THINGS FIGURED OUT, GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO THIS TEAM, AND THE QUESTION IS WHEN.

>> Charlie: THE COACH TOLD ME IN THAT FIRST GAME, THEY PLAYED A DUAL QUARTERBACK DEAL AND HE SAID CARVER WILL BE THE GUY THIS WEEK AS WELL.

THAT IS THE TIME, 1:00 P.M. ON SATURDAY.

WE'LL WATCH CONNOR CARVER TRY TO LEAD THEM TO THEIR FIRST VICTORY OF THE SEASON.

>> Dennis: I HOPE SO, IT'S NICE WEATHER.

>> Charlie: A NICE RUN UP AND DOWN THE SIDELINE.

>> Dennis: THANKS CHARLIE.

SCHOOL HAS STARTED AGAIN AND THAT MEANS LAKELAND NEWS' GOLDEN APPLE HAS ALSO BEGUN.

OUR REPORTER SYDNEY DICK HAS OUR FIRST GOLDEN APPLE OF THE YEAR, AS SHE VISITED ONE BEMIDJI MIDDLE SCHOOL SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSROOM, THAT HAS A NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT THE STUDENTS ARE LEARNING HOW TO PROGRAM AND USE.

>> Reporter: LAST YEAR, ONE CLASSROOM AT BEMIDJI MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS INTRODUCED TO A NEW MACHINE TO INTEGRATE INTO THEIR TECHNOLOGY LEARNING AND THE STUDENTS FELL IN LOVE IMMEDIATELY WITH THEIR NEW 3D PRINTER.

>> I WANTED TO BRING THAT INTO THE CLASSROOM.

A LOT OF OUR KIDS DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET SOME OF THOSE EXPERIENCES IN OTHER CLASSROOMS, SO YEAH, I HAD A GOOD TIME WITH IT.

>> Reporter: SO AFTER BEING GIVEN THE 3D PRINTER AND LEARNING THE PROGRAMING, THE SCULPTURES BEGAN.

EVERY PIECE THAT IS 3D PRINTED TAKES A VARIABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.

IT TAKES TIME TO DESIGN AND PRINT EVERYTHING OUT AND THE PRINTING PROCESS CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 20 MINUTES TO 5 HOURS.

>> THEY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN LIKES AND THEY GO TO GET TO PRINT AND A COUPLE OF THEM GET TO TAKE IT HOME AND WE MAKE THE FIDGETS IN THE CLASSROOM TO HAVE.

>> Reporter: ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT HAVING THE PRINTER IN THE CLASSROOM IS GIVING STUDENTS CREATIVE FREEDOM.

>> ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS I DO AND THIS IS MY 1 ZILLIONth MODEL AND HOPEFULLY I CAN PRINT THIS ON TO THIS BAD BOY.

>> Reporter: AND LEARNING OF THE LOGISTICS, THEY ARE GETTING TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE THAT MAY HELP THEM IN THE FUTURE.

>> THIS GOES INTO THE WHITE TUBE AND YOU CAN SEE, IT COMES OUT THIS LITTLE PART, AND IT MELTS IT INTO A VERY HOT SURFACE.

THAT NEEDLE COULD GET TO 200 DEGREES FARENHEIT, SO YOU DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH THAT.

IT MELTS IT AND IT CREATES THIS BEAUTIFUL MODEL WE HAVE RIGHT HERE.

>> SOME OF OUR KIDS DON'T GO OUT TO REGULAR CLASSES.

THEY MAY BE IN A JOB THAT HAS TECHNOLOGY OR CODING OR SOMETHING THAT THEY MIGHT LIKE AND THEY MIGHT BE GOOD AT.

IT JUST GIVES THEM ANOTHER AVENUE TO THINK ABOUT, MAYBE SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN DO OUTSIDE OF HIGH SCHOOL.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FROM BEMIDJI WITH THIS WEEK'S GOLDEN APPLE, I'M SYDNEY DICK, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> THE PLAN IS FOR THAT PRINTER TO STAY IN THE CLASSROOM PERMANENTLY, AND THE STUDENTS WILL SOON BE GETTING NEW COLORS OF FILAMENTS TO EXPERIMENT WITH, AND EVENTUALLY, THEY MAY BE ABLE TO MOVE UPSTAIRS AND PRACTICE 3D PRINTING ON THE BIGGER PRINTER IN THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT.

>>> OKAY, WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE LAST LOOK AT OUR WEATHER.

LET'S GO BACK TO STACY.

>> WE WILL BE SEEING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, AND PARTICULARLY IN WESTERN MINNESOTA.

OTHERWISE, MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH LOWS NEAR 60.

LOOKING AT TOMORROW, VARIABLE CLOUDS, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY AROUND LAKE OF THE WOODS.

THERE IS A SMALLER CHANCE ELSEWHERE IN OUR VIEWING AREA.

A LITTLE BIT WARMER, HIGHS NEAR 77.

THEN AS WE LOOK AT OUR EXTENDED FORECAST, IT TENDS TO WARM MORE AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID-80s ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

OVERALL, IT'S LOOKING QUIET.

AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK, WE HAVE SOME CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURNING TO OUR FORECAST.

TEMPERATURES WILL STAY PRETTY MILD WITH HIGHS IN THE 80s.

>> Charlie: WE GOT FRIDAY FOOTBALL TOMORROW, BEMIDJI WILL BE ON THE ROAD BUT BRAINERD AT HOME.

WE'LL HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THAT AND AROUND THE AREA AS WELL.

>> Dennis: ALL RIGHT GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE, WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

>> Charlie: GOOD NIGHT.
