WE ARE HERE FOR YOU WITH LOCAL NEWS FROM BEMIDJI, BRAINERD, AND ALL OF THE LAKES COUNTRY.

DENNIS WEIMANN WITH THE NEWS, STACY CHRISTENSON WITH THE WEATHER AND CHARLIE YAEGER WITH YOUR SPORTS.

>> Matthew: HEY EVERYONE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.

MY NAME IS MATTHEW FREEMAN FILLING IN FOR DENNIS WEIMANN WITH YOUR LAKELAND NEWS.

>>> BREEZY POINT'S CITY ADMINISTRATOR, DAVID CHANSKI, HAS HANDED IN HIS RESIGNATION TO THE CITY DURING BREEZY POINTS CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON TUESDAY.

CHANSKI SAID HIS REASON FOR LEAVING IS A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT.

ACCORDING TO THE LANGUAGE OF HIS CONTRACT, CHANSKI MUST BE PAID 6-MONTHS OF HIS SALARY, WHICH IS $110,000.

BECAUSE CHANSKI'S REASON FOR HIS RESIGNATION IS A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT, THAT MEANS HE CAN EFFECTIVELY DEEM HIMSELF TERMINATED, AND STILL GET THE BENEFITS OF HIS CONTRACT.

PART OF THOSE BENEFITS IS A 6-MONTH PAY OUT OF HIS SALARY.

DURING THE MEETING ON TUESDAY, THE CITY ATTORNEY PRESENTED CHANSKI'S RESIGNATION TO THE COUNCIL, WHICH LEFT SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH A FEW CONCERNS.

>> ANYONE CAN ASSERT MOST ANYTHING THEY WANT TO WHEN IT COMES TO AN UNSAFE OR HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT.

WHAT CAN WE UNDERSTAND TO HAVE HAPPENED TO WHERE THE ADMINISTRATOR WOULD FEEL AS THOUGH HE HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT.

>> MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE DOCUMENT PROVIDED IS THAT UNDERLYING THAT ASSERTION IS NOT ONLY HOW STAFF HANDLED OR RESPONDED TO THE RECENT INCIDENT, BUT ALSO OTHER INCIDENTS THAT HAVE GONE ON OR OCCURRED OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF.

>> MAYOR ANGEL ZIERDEN WANTED TO REMIND THE COUNCIL THAT BY MINNESOTA LAW, THE BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 2025 OF BREEZY POINT IS DUE VERY SOON AND SHE SAYS DIGGING INTO THE SITUATION ISN'T THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE IT, BUT FINDING AN INTERIM CITY ADMINISTRATOR IS WHAT THEY SHOULD FOCUS ON AT THIS TIME.

>>> DRIVERS ON COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 12 FROM TRUNK HIGHWAY 210 TO TRUNK HIGHWAY 6 IN DEERWOOD WILL EXPERIENCE SOME DELAYS AS A RESURFACING PROJECT IS SET TO BEGIN ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 9TH.

IN ADDITION TO THE RESURFACING, THERE WILL BE CULVERT REPAIRS AS WELL AS THE INSTALLATION OF MULTIPLE RIGHT TURN LANES, LEFT TURN LANES, AND BYPASS LANES.

COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 12 WILL BE CLOSED BETWEEN HIGHWAY 28 AND BEACH ROAD FROM SEPTEMBER 9TH THROUGH THE 17TH FOR CULVERT WORK AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF LEFT TURN LANES.

WHILE THIS CLOSURE IS IN PLACE, TRAFFIC WILL BE DETOURED VIA HIGHWAY 28 AND TRUNK HIGHWAY 210 AND 206.

CONSTRUCTION IS ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETED IN THE LAST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER.

>>> THE CROW WING COUNTY PROTECTION IS RAISING AWARENESS FOR VULNERABLE ADULTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THE ADULT PROTECTION TEAM PROVIDES PUBLIC AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPS RESOURCES FOR PREVENTION, INTERVENTION, AND TREATMENT, AND PROVIDES CASE CONSULTATION, WHICH HELPS SOCIAL SERVICES PROVIDE OPTIMAL ADULT PROTECTION.

IN 2023, THERE WERE 672 REPORTS OF SUSPECTED ABUSE, NEGLECT, OR FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION MADE TO THE COUNTY FOR ADULT PROTECTION WITH NEGLECT BEING THE MOST COMMON CAUSE AND THE ONGOING PROBLEM HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR.

>> BY THE END OF JULY, WE HAD 512 REPORTS.

IT DOES KEEP GROWING.

SOMEONE THAT IS EXPERIENCING SELF NEGLECT MAY NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SUPPORT SYSTEMS IN THEIR CIRCLE.

THEY MAY NOT HAVE KIDS THAT ARE INVOLVED ORB A NEIGHBOR THAT IS WILLING TO REACH OUT, OR EVEN THE CONNECTION TO SERVICE THAT THEY COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR.

>> DURING SEPTEMBER, RESIDENTS CAN SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE TEAM'S CAUSE AT LOCAL BUSINESSES, AS SCHAEFER'S FOODS IN NISSWA AND RAFERTY'S PIZZA IN BRAINERD WILL BE SELLING DONATION CARDS WITH CUB FOODS IN BOTH BRAINERD AND BAXTER DOING THE SAME FROM MONDAY THROUGH THE 23RD.

>>> THE RED LAKE NATION YOUTH SHELTER HAS BEEN HOUSING KIDS SINCE OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR.

AS THEY ARE COMING UP ON CELEBRATING A YEAR, OUR REPORTER SYDNEY DICK WENT FOR A VISIT TO SEE THE STATE GRANT-FUNDED FACILITY.

>> Reporter: 11 MONTHS AGO WAS THE OPENING OF THE RED LAKE NATION YOUTH SHELTER, A 24/7, 365 DAY A YEAR YOUTH FACILITY TO HELP KIDS IN NEED.

>> THE NAME OF THIS PLACE ACTUALLY MEANS TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES OR PLACE TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES OR THE CHOICES THAT THEY WOULD WANT YOU TO MAKE.

SO THE MAJORITY OF MY JOB IS HEALTH EDUCATION, HELPING YOUTH KIND OF REALLY THINK THROUGH THEIR CIRCUMSTANCE, UNDERSTAND ALL THE RISKS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED, AND HOW TO PREVENT THE COMING HEALTHY LIFE SPAN.

>> Reporter: THEY HAD EIGHT BEDS AVAILABLE FOR KIDS AGES 5 TO 17.

ALTHOUGH IT'S LOCATED IN RED LAKE -- >> KIDS DO NOT HAVE TO BE FROM RED LAKE, NOR DO THEY HAVE TO BE INDIGENOUS.

WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ACCEPT ANYONE TO THE SELLER.

>> Reporter: THERE IS A GAME ROOM, LIVING ROOM AREA, COLLAGES, MURALS, OR BOOKS WRITTEN BY INDIGENOUS AUTHORS TO CONNECT KIDS TO THEIR HERITAGE.

>> WITHOUT THOSE, WHAT IS OUR IDENTITY?

IT'S BEEN AN AWESOME WAY TO FIND OURSELVES AGAIN.

>> Reporter: ANOTHER THING THAT THE SHELTER DOES IS TEACH LIFE SKILLS SUCH AS DOING LAUNDRY OR COOKING.

THE YOUTH ARE ONLY THERE FOR A FEW HOURS, OR WHETHER THEY HAVE TO STAY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THESE ARE NECESSARY LIFELONG SKILLS TO LEARN.

THE STAFF AND MENTORS HERE CAN MAKE SUCH AN IMPACT ON THE KIDS THAT THEY WILL COME BACK EVEN AFTER THEY NO LONGER NEED THE SHELTER JUST TO SAY HI.

>> WE HAVE A REALLY AWESOME TEAM.

THEY HAVE BUILT SUCH GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR KIDS HERE.

WE HAVE KIDDOS THAT JUST POP IN TO SAY HI.

THEY JUST COME IN TO VISIT.

THAT'S PROBABLY THE KIDDOS' FAVORITE THING, THE STAFF THAT HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING.

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

>> AS THEY ARE FINALLY FULLY ESTABLISHED, THE RED LAKE NATION YOUTH SHELTER WANTS TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE, WHAT THEY DO, AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES KNOW THAT THERE IS AN OPTION FOR THEM.

>>> A JUDGE HAS AGREED TO POSTPONE DONALD TRUMP'S SENTENCING IN HIS HUSH MONEY CASE UNTIL AFTER THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.

JUDGE JUAN M. MERCHAN'S DECISION FRIDAY GRANTS TRUMP A HARD-WON REPRIEVE AS HE NAVIGATES THE AFTERMATH OF HIS CRIMINAL CONVICTION AND THE HOMESTRETCH OF HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

MERCHAN DELAYED TRUMP'S SENTENCING UNTIL NOVEMBER 26TH.

THAT'S SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THE FINAL VOTES ARE CAST IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

IT HAD BEEN SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 18TH, ABOUT SEVEN WEEKS BEFORE ELECTION DAY.

MERCHAN ALSO DELAYED A DECISION ON A DEFENSE REQUEST TO THROW OUT THE CASE ON IMMUNITY GROUNDS.

TRUMP ARGUED THAT SENTENCING HIM AS SCHEDULED WOULD BE ELECTION INTERFERENCE.

YOU DON'T SEE THAT TYPE OF ART AROUND THAT MUCH.

>> Reporter: IT'S NOT ONLY THOSE IN ATTENDANCE INTRIGUED BY THE ABSTRACT ART BUT THE ARTISTS FIND THEMSELVES AMAZED OF THE STYLES THEIR COUNTERPARTS CREATE.

>> I HAVE CHANGED MY SITE FIVE TIMES SO I CAN SEE WHAT OTHER ARTISTS MAKE.

I MOVE AROUND JUST SO I CAN SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE MAKE.

I GUESS I'M JUST IN AWE OVER A LOT OF PEOPLE AND HOW PROFESSIONAL THEIR STUFF IS.

IT'S AMAZING WHAT PEOPLE CAN DO.

>> Reporter: WHAT THE ARTISTS LOVE MOST ABOUT THE ART CRAWL IS SEEING THOSE IN ATTENDANCE SHOW APPRECIATION FOR THEIR CRAFTS.
