>> THE PERSONAL HISTORY GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE CIVIL WAR AND EVERY CONFLICT THAT MINNESOTANS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN.

IT JUST LINKS IT TO OUR ENTIRE STATE AND FROM THERE, TO OUR NATION.

THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE INDIVIDUALS FROM MINNESOTA TO OUR HISTOR >> Reporter: THE MUSEUM IS DESIGNED TO TELL MORE THAN THE STORY OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT OR MAJOR CONFLICTS.

IT FOCUSES ON THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE HISTORY AND THE PERSONAL STORIES OF SERVICE AND SACRIFICE.

REPORTING IN LITTLE FALLS, XZAYVER CURRY, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> MUSEUM LEADERS SAY THE GOAL IS TO MAKE MINNESOTA'S MILITARY HISTORY ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE—FROM VISITORS WITH A PERSONAL CONNECTION TO MILITARY SERVICE TO THOSE LEARNING THESE STORIES FOR THE FIRST TIME.

IN A STATEMENT TO LAKELAND NEWS, SUPERVISORY SPECIAL AGENT MATTHEW VOGEL CONFIRMED THE F.B.I.

AND B.I.A.

WITHIN THE LAST DAY THE RED LAKE NATION ISSUED A STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION.

TRIBAL CHAIRMAN DARREL SEKI SAID, "THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF RED LAKE'S CHILDREN AND FAMILIES HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE NATIONS HIGHEST PRIORITY.

WE ARE COOPERATING WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES AND WILL TAKE WHATEVER STEPS ARE NECESSARY TO ENSURE OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES CONTINUE TO BE PROTECTED AND SERVED THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS."

>> Reporter: AT THE END OF AUGUST, SANFORD HEALTH AND NORTH MEMORIAL HEALTH ENTERED INTO A MERGE ERWITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.

>> I THINK I HAVE A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON THAT CHANGE THAT HAS HAPPENED.

I WAS HERE WORKING AT NORTH COUNTRY HEALTH SERVICES PRIOR AND PRIVATE PRACTICE AND JOINED UP AT THE SAME TIME WITH SANFORD HEALTH.

I THINK THAT THE BIG CHANGE FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, IS THAT WE'RE NOW A REGIONAL REFERRAL HUB.

THAT IS BECAUSE OF INVESTMENTS, CAPITAL INVESTMENTS INTO SUBSPECIALTY SERVICE LINES.

>> WE'RE GETTING AWAY FROM THE COOKIE CUTTER.

ALL HEALTH IS DONE IN A METROPOLITAN AREA.

NO, IT ISN'T.

WE HAVE TO LEARN HOW THE DO THE BEST WE CAN IN RURAL COMMUNITIES AS WELL, GOING FROM BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARDIOLOGY, OBSTETRICS, AND THE WHOLE NINE.

TO HAVE THEIR BEST INTEREST AT HEART EITHER.

>> Reporter: THE MEETING WAS SUPPOSED TO FOCUS ON THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ AS IRAN'S HOLD ON THE STRAIT CHOKES SUPPLIES OF EXPORTS.

>>> TIME FOR WEATHER, STACY IS HERE.

WE HAD A GOOD DOSE OF RAIN.

>> Stacy: WE SAW RAIN ALL DAY LONG.

A LITTLE BREEZY, A LITTLE COOL.

SO IT'S NOT A REAL PLEASANT DAY TO BE OUTSIDE.

WE SHOULD BE SEEING THE RAIN EXITING TONIGHT AND TOMORROW LOOKS QUIETER.

STILL COULD BE BREEZY BUT TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, WE HAD A RAINY, WINDY, AND COOL DAY THROUGHOUT THE AREA TODAY.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE WRAPPING UP AND A DRY DAY TOMORROW, BUT CONDITIONS ARE STILL A LITTLE BREEZY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMER WITH A BIT MORE SUNSHINE THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE AREA.

WE DO HAVE SOME MORE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR FORECAST.

RIGHT NOW IN BEMIDJI, IT'S 53 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

WE HAVE SOUTH WINDS AT 4 MILES PER HOUR AT OUR STUDIO.

THE DEW POINT IS 53.

WE PICKED UP 0.46-INCH OF RAIN.

IN BRAINERD, CLOUDY THIS EVENING WITH AREAS OF FOG, 55 DEGREES, THE DEW POINT IS 54, PRESSURE IS RISING, AND WINDS ARE OUT OF THE SOUTH AT 9 MILES PER HOUR.

LOOKING AT THE SATELLITE AND RADAR, THE MAIN AREAS OF RAIN HAVE PRETTY MUCH MOVED OUT OF THE VIEWING AREA, BUT WE STILL HAVE SOME POCKETS OF LIGHT RAIN AND SPRINKLES IN OUR AREA.

THOSE WILL BE WRAPPING UP AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

WE WILL SEE A MIX OF CLEAR SKIES AND CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT.

THAT WILL BE THE CASE AGAIN TOMORROW, THERE MAY BE A FEW SPRINKLES OR ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY IN NORTH-CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MINNESOTA, BUT TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE WARMER, MOST OF US WILL SEE THE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 60s.

WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT, IT WAS A GORGEOUS MORNING BEFORE THE RAIN AND CLOUDS MOVED IN.

SAMROSE SENDING US THIS PHOTO FROM LOWER RED LAKE, ARLENE IN MENAHGA, AND DEBRA OVER LAKE ADA.

ANGELA IN CASS LAKE, CLOUDY WITH A FEW SPRINKLES TONIGHT, 0.4-INCH OF RAIN WITH A HIGH OF 57.

ON THE ALMANAC, 56 WAS ALL WE COULD MANAGE TODAY IN BRAINERD.

40 DEGREES FOR THE LOW AND SUNSET AT 7:30.

A COOL DAY IN BEMIDJI AS WELL, 54 WAS OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE, AVERAGE IS 69, 34 FOR THE LOW.

CHILLY TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING AND SUNSET TONIGHT AT 7:33.

SO LOOKING AT OUR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, WE WILL SEE A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE IN THE AREA AND THERE MAY BE A FEW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES, ESPECIALLY IN NORTH-CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MINNESOTA AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY, THOSE WILL BE EXITING.

WE SHOULD SEE WARMER TEMPERATURES, HIGHS RANGING FROM 63 IN WARROAD, TO 69 IN PARK RAPIDS, AND IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA, OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH THE UPPER 60s.

SO OUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, VARIABLE CLOUDS, LOWS NEAR 50, STILL LOOKING AT SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS 10 TO 30.

THEN TOMORROW, VARIABLE CLOUDS, AGAIN A FEW SPRINKLES OR RAIN SHOWERS ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING AND NORTH-CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MINNESOTA, HIGHS NEAR 66, BUT AGAIN A BIT BREEZY WITH WEST WINDS 10 TO 25.

LOOKING AT OUR EXTENDED FORECAST, SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY, AND THEN ON THURSDAY, IT LOOKS PRETTY QUIET THERE WITH A HIGH OF 77.

IT LOOKS LIKE HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID-60s TO MID-70s AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND, BUT WE HAVE SOME CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS, THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE ON FRIDAY.

BACK TO YOU.

>> Dennis: ALL RIGHT, NOT DONE WITH THE 70s YET.

WHILE, BLACKDUCK WON THEIR FIRST MATCH OF 2026, BUT HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A VICTORY EVER SINCE.

THE FLYERS ON THE ROAD TONIGHT TAKING ON THE DRAKES FOR A SECTION 8-A SHOWDOWN.

BLACKDUCK DOWN A SET AND DOWN IN THE SECOND SET, BUT THEY ARE STARTING TO RALLY.

SENDING ONE TO THE DEFENDER FOR THE POINT.

A FEW POINTS LATER, BAGLEY, TALL ENOUGH SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO JUMP.

THEY WIN THE NEXT THREE POINTS AND GO TO DODD.

SHE BRINGS THE HEAT AND THEY'RE BACK WITHIN 4.

1ST QUARTER, MAVERICKS WITH A 3RD AND 15, MITCHELL THOMPSON HITS EL STANLEY FOR A 20-YARD STRIKE AND THE FIRST POINTS OF THE GAME, 7-0 MSU.

AHEAD TO THE 2ND, 10-0 NOW, MAVS ON THE ATTACK AGAIN, THOMPSON KEEPER ON 4TH AND ONE, TURNS IT INTO A TOUCHDOWN, HE FINISHED AS THEIR SECOND LEADING RUSHER WITH 84-YARDS, 17-0 MANKATO.

ENSUING POSSESSION, BEAVERS FINALLY FOUND A RHYTHM ON OFFENSE, BART MACANINCH WITH A 39-YARD CONNECTION TO HUDSON OMOKE.

BEAVS TRYING TO ANSWER ON THEIR NEXT POSSESSION AFTER SURRENDERING A FIELD GOAL, ZAVERY GUERRA WITH A BIG 25-YARD CATCH, SETS THEM UP 1ST AND GOAL.

VERY NEXT PLAY, MACANINCH USING HIS LEGS FOR THE SCORE, CUTS BACK INTO THE LEAD, 20-13.

BUT THAT WOULD BE AS CLOSE AS THEY GOT, 30-13 THE FINAL AS BSU WAS HELD SCORELESS IN THE 2ND HALF WHILE SURRENDERING 278-RUSHING AND 435-TOTAL YARDS FOR THE GAME TO MINNESOTA STATE, THE BEAVERS HAVE NOW DROPPED 7-STRAIGHT TO THE MAVERICKS.

AND AFTER SWEEPING U-MARY ON SATURDAY, BSU WOMENS VOLLEYBALL HAS NOW WON 25-STRAIGHT SETS AND IS 10-0 FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1971, TYING THEIR SECOND BEST START IN PROGRAM HISTORY BEHIND THE 1988 SQUAD THAT BEGAN THEIR SEASON BY WINNING 14-STRAIGHT.

>>> BSU WOMEN'S SOCCER COMING OFF A DRAW AT SIOUX FALLS ON FRIDAY, THEY WERE AT SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA STATE ON SUNDAY.

NO SCORING IN THE 1ST HALF, WE PICK UP IN THE 2ND, DANA STOCKE THROUGH BALL TO MOLLY BURKSTRAND AND SHE'S FOULED IN THE 18, SO MEGAN KO WOULD STEP UP FOR THE P-K, SHE BURIES IT, 1-0 BEAVERS.

A LITTLE LATER, MAGGIE KRAMER CENTERING PASS, AND GRACIE WATERS, THERE TO HEADER IT HOME FOR THE BEAVS, 2-0 BEMIDJI STATE.

FINAL MINUTES OF THE MATCH, NO DOUBT BSU WILL WIN, BUT THIS GOAL IS FANTASTIC, MERIDITH PAAR ALL BY HERSELF FROM A RIDICULOUS ANGLE TO PUT THEM UP 3-0.

AND THAT WOULD BE THE FINAL, BEAVERS EXTEND THEIR UNBEATEN STREAK ON THE MUSTANGS TO 12-IN-A-ROW.
