THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING, MY NAME IS MATTHEW FREEMAN, FILLING IN FOR DENNIS WEIMANN WITH THE LAKELAND NEWS.

A SNOWSTORM OVER THE WEEKEND CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CRASHES WITHIN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AND MULTIPLE THROUGHOUT THE AREA.

INCLUDING ONE IN WALKER THAT LED TO THE DEATH OF A 22-YEAR-OLD WOMAN FROM BEMIDJI.

SATURDAY AROUND 7:01:00 P.M.

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE RECEIVED A CALL OF A VEHICLE ROLLOVER NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF COUNTY ROAD 13 AND STONE I DIDN'T ROAD CAMP ROAD IN WALKER.

THEY DISCOVERED A S.U.V.

LEFT THE ROADWAY AND ROLLED OVER IN A DITCH.

FIVE OCCUPANTS WERE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH.

THREE MEN WERE TRANSPORTED TO DIFFERENT LOCAL HOSPITALS FOR ADDITIONAL TREATMENT WHILE ONE WAS TREATED ON THE SCENE AND LATER RELEASED.

A 22-YEAR-OLD WOMAN FROM BEMIDJI WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD ON THE SCENE.

A BLOOD SAMPLE FROM THE SUSPECTED DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WAS EXECUTED AT THE SANFORD BEMIDJI HOSPITAL.

ALCOHOL AND SPEED APPEAR TO BOTH BE FACTORS IN THE CRASH.

CRIMINAL CHARGES WILL BE PENDING UPON ANALYSIS OF THE SAMPLE RECEIVED.

>>> AN IRONTON MAN DIED WHILE DRIVING IN AITKIN COUNTY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AFTER STRIKING A TREE AND ROLLED INTO THE DITCH.

LEON SCHEFERS WAS TRAVELING WHEN HIS PICKUP TRUCK WENT OFF-ROAD TO THE RIGHT GOING AIRBORNE OFF OF A DRIVEWAY APPROACH AND VIKING A TREE, EVENTUALLY ROLLING ON TO ITS ROOF AND COMING TO REST IN A -- ALONGSIDE THE HIGHWAY.

SCHEFERS WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD ON THE SCENE.

THE STATE PATROL SAID ROAD CONDITIONS WERE WET AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH AND IT IS UNKNOWN IF ALCOHOL WAS INVOLVED.

A FEDERAL JUDGE DISMISSED THE CHARGES AGAINST A MINNESOTA MAN ACCUSED OF HIDING A PAIR OF STOLEN SLIPPERS THAT JUDY GARLAND WAR IN THE WIZARD OF OZ.

THE MAN HAD BEEN SCHEDULED TO CHANGE HIS PLEA TOO GUILTY IN JANUARY BUT THAT HEARING WAS POSTPONED INDEFINITELY AFTER HE WAS HOSPITALIZED.

COURT PAPERS SAY HE SUFFERED FROM CHRONIC UNOBSTRUCTED PULMONARY DISEASE AND PARKINSON'S DISEASE.

THE SLIPPERS WERE STOLEN IN 2005 IN THE JUDY GARLAND MUSEUM IN GRAND RAPIDS AND THEIR WHEREABOUTS REMAINED A MYSTERY FOR NEARLY 13 YEARS UNTIL THE FBI RECOVERED THEM IN 2018.

THE SLIPPERS SET A RECORD FOR SELLING FOR $12.5 MILLION IN DECEMBER.

THEY WERE ONE OF SEVERAL PARRIS GARLAND WORE DURING THE FILLING MANY.

ONLY THREE PARRIS REMAINED TO.

>> MICHELLE FISCHBACH ANNOUNCED HER RUN FOR ANOTHER TERM IN THE ELECTION.

IN 2020 SHE GOT THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTES OF CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE OF EITHER PARTY.

SHE WAS THE 49th LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA AND THE FIRST WOMAN IN MINNESOTA HISTORY TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF THE MINNESOTA SENATE.

SHE SAID SHE LAUNCHED HER ROLE TO PUSH FOR STRONGER RURAL COMMUNITIES AND EXTEND RIGHTS.

LAST WEEK ERIC OSBERG OF WADENA ANNOUNCED HIS RUNNING AS A DEMOCRAT FOR THE SEAT.

>> OVER THE WEEKEND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION INVOKED WARTIME POWERS TO DEPORT MEMBERS OF A GANG TO VENEZUELAN.

THE PLANE WAS ORDERED TO BE TURNED AROUND FOR ANYONE BEING DEPORTED UNDER THE ALIEN ACT BUT THE FLIGHT CONTINUED DESPITE THE ORDER.

>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ESCALATING HIS CRACKDOWN AND SETTING OFF AN ILLEGAL SHOWDOWN.

HE INVOKED THE ALIEN ACT OF 1798, A LITTLE KNOWN LAW THAT GIVES THE PREED TO TARGET AND DEPORT MY GRANTS.

>> FIGURE THAT 17ED 8, IT'S A POWERFUL ACT, YOU COULDN'T PASS UP SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

>> THE MEASURE USED ONLY THROW TIMES ALL DURING MAJOR WARS INCLUDING WORLD WAR II IS TIED TO WHAT TRUMP DESCRIBED AS INNOVATION OF CRIMINALS.

>> THESE ARE CRIMINALS, MANY, MANY CRIMINALS.

MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, DRUG LORD'S, PEOPLE FROM MENTAL INSTITUTIONS.

THAT'S AN INVASION.

IN THAT SENSE IT IS WAR.

>> THE MOVE WAS IMMEDIATELY CHALLENGED IN COURT, SETTING OFF A LEGAL CLASS THAT RAISED QUESTIONS WHETHER THE ADMINISTRATION VIOLATED A COURT ORDER.

THE CONTROVERSY UNFOLDED IN A MATTER OF HOURS.

ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON A FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE KICKED OFF A HEARING OVER USE OF THE ALIEN ENEMIES ACT.

THE HEARING WAS BRIEFLY ADJOURNED FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO COLLECT MORE INFORMATION.

IN THAT TIME TWO REMOVAL FLIGHTS TOOK OFF TO EL SALVADOR THAT AGREED TO TAKE THE MIGRANTS.

THE JUDGE TOLD THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO TURNAROUND PLANES ANYONE BEING DEPORTED UNDER THE ACT.

A WRITTEN ORDER CAME AN HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES LATER.

THE PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELAN SEEMED TO TAUNT THE ORDER.

OOPSY, TOO LATE.

>> BY THE TIME THE ORDER CAME THE PLANE WAS OVER INTERNATIONAL WATERS WITH A PLANE FULL OF TERRORISTS.

THE PRESIDENT DID THE RIGHT THING.

>> THE TARGET IS A VENEZUELAN GAINING THAT WAS DESIGNATED A FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION BY THE ADMINISTRATION.

MORE THAN HALF OF THE 261 MY GRANTS EX--- HE WOULD WERE DONE UNDER THE ORDER.

THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED IDENTITIES OF THOSE REMOVED.

>> THE LAW SAYS EXPLICITLY IT MAY ONLY BE USED AGAINST A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT OR A FOREIGN NATION WHEN WE ARE IN A DECLARED WAR WITH THAT FOREIGN GOVERNMENT OR THE FOREIGN GOVERNMENT IS INVADING US.

THE GANG IS NOT INVADING ASSOCIATION IN OUR VIEW THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT THIS ADDS EMERGENCIES IS JUST THUMBING THEIR NOSE AT CONGRESS.

>> A COURT HEARING ON THE MATTER WAS HELD EARLIER TODAY WHERE THE FEDERAL JUDGE DEMANDED BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION GIVE SPECIFIC TIME LINES ON THE DEPORTATION FLIGHTS AND EXPLAINED WHY THEY CONTINUED AFTER THEY WERE ORDERED TO TURN AROUND.

>> STILL TO COME ON LAKELAND NEWS AT 10:00 -- >> PARTS OF CENTRAL MINNESOTA COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW TOMORROW AND WEDNESDAY.

OTHERWISE IT LOOKS LIKE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE THROUGH THE LATER PART OF THE WEEK.

I WILL HAVE YOUR FORECAST IN A FEW MINUTES.

>> COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK FOR THIS WEEK'S IN BUSINESS, A HAIR SAW LOAN HAD BEMIDJI HELD A SPECIAL CELEBRATION FOR NOW LAKELAND NEWS AT 10:00.

>> A TRIO OF MEN, TWO FROM THE VIEWING AREA DUBBED THE THREE OLD GUARD COMPLETED THEIR TRAVEL FROM HERE TO CANADA THIS MONTH TRAVELING ON THE SNOWMOBILES.

THEY STARTED THE 3,700-MILE TREK ON FEBRUARY 13th AND IN LESS THAN A MONTH ON MARCH 6th THEY MADE NEW FOUND LAND.

THIS IS THE THIRD TRIP THEY TOOK.

STARTING FROM THE CITY GRAND RAPIDS FOR EACH RIDE.

THEY MADE IT BACK ON MARCH 9th.

TODAY IS ST. PATRICK'S DAY AND THE CITY CELEBRATES IN A BIG WAY OR A SMALL WAY DEPENDING ON WHO YOU ASK.

THEY HOST WHAT THE IS IT I CLAIMS TO BE THE WORLD'S SHORTEST ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE.

THE PARADE TAKES 7 STEPS TO COMPLETE OR 98 SECONDS.

HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS HOSTED A 98-FOOT ST. PATRICK'S DAY ROUTE AND COPYRIGHTED THE TITLE WORLD'S SHORTEST ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE.

STACY, I'M NOT SURE WHETHER BEMIDJI CAN CLAIM THE TITLE OR NOT BUT I'M HAPPY THE PARADE WAS TODAY AND NOT THIS WEEKEND.

>> YEAH, QUITE A DIFFERENT STORY.

A LOT QUIETER TODAY.

PARTS OF FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA PICKED UP SNOW EARLY IN THE MORNING AND LOOKS LIKE CENTRAL MINNESOTA COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW TOMORROW INTO WEDNESDAY.

OTHER THAN THAT IT'S PRETTY QUIET AND WE SHOULD SEE A LOT OF SUNSHINE AS NOW THE WEATHER.

>> NORTHERN MINNESOTA PICKED UP A BIT OF SNOW OVERNIGHT AND THIS MORNING.

WE HAVE REPORTS FROM ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER.

OVERALL IT WAS QUIET.

WE FOCUS ON SOUTHERN MINNESOTA ON THE NEXT SYSTEM.

THERE MAY BE SOME SNOW BEGINNING TOMORROW INTO THE AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING INTO WEDNESDAY.

BEYOND THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL SEE MOSTLY PARTLY TO SUNNY SKIES THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

IT'S 31 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

NORTH WIND AT 5 MILES PER HOUR.

DEWPOINT 27, HUMIDITY AT 86%.

BRAINERD CLEAR SKIES, 40 DEGREES WITH DEWPOINT OF 45 AND WINDS 6 MILES PER HOUR.

A LOOK AT THE SATELLITE AND RADAR PICTURE WE SEE THE SNOW BENEFITING PAINLY NORTHERN MINNESOTA TODAY.

AGAIN, WE HAD MORE ACCUMULATING SNOW EARLIER TODAY.

SOME SNOW COULD LINGER IN PARTS OF FAR NORTHEAST MINNESOTA AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

OVERALL IT LOOKS PRETTY QUIET ABOUT YOU A LOT OF CLOUD COVER FOR MOST OF THE VIEWING AREA.

AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW WE COULD SEE SOME SNOW DEVELOPING IN MAINLY CENTRAL MINNESOTA WITH OTHERWISE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES THROUGHOUT THE AREA.

WE WILL BACKTRACK A BIT AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PICTURE FROM JANICE AND SOME OF THE FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW THAT IMPACTED THE AREA DURING THE WEEKEND SATURDAY MORNING.

THIS IS THE SKIES IN MENAHGA, BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE.

A LOT OF CLOUD COVER HERE FROM ANGELA BUT WE SEE THE SUNSET IN THE DISTANCE.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE REPORTS.

EILEEN IN MENAHGA, 26 WITH LIGHT BREEZE, STEPHANIE IN BRAINERD CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT TOPPING OUT ANOTHER 51.

BOTTOM LEFT AND SUNNY SKIES, HIGH 47.

ANGELA AT CASS LAKE MOSTLY CLOUDY, 39.

AND EILEEN IN LONGVILLE PARTLY CHOWDER WITH HIGH OF 53.

BRAINERD TOPPING OUT AT 51.

THAT'S MORE THAN 10 DEGREES ABOVE THE AVERAGE.

28 IS THE LOW TEMPERATURE AND SUNSET AT 7:26.

COOLER IN BEMIDJI BUT ACTUALLY A SEASONAL TEMPERATURE.

THE HIGH IS 38 WHICH IS THE AVERAGE HIGH FOR THIS DATE.

25 WAS THE LOW THIS MORNING AND WE HAD SUNSET AT 7:29.

AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT TOMORROW'S FORECAST WE WILL BE SEEING A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE ACROSS THE AREA IN THE MORNING.

THEN AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE AGAIN HOSE CLOUDS -- CLEAR SKIES THIS FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA AND CLOUDING UP IN THE AFTERNOON.

A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW ENTERING MAINLY CENTRAL MINNESOTA AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.

SOME OF THOSE COULD LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY AS WELL.

AS FAR AS THE TEMPERATURES GO, LOOK FOR HIGHS 35 TO 40 IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE VIEWING AREA AND CENTRAL MINNESOTA THE LOW 40s.

TONIGHT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, 22.

AND VARIABLE WINDS UP TO 10.

AS WE LOOK AT TOMORROW PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES BUT A CHANCE OF SNOW FLURRIES AND SPRINKLES IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND MOST OF THAT OCCURRING IN THE AFTERNOON.

HIGHS NEAR 39 AND EAST WINS AT 5 TO 15.

THE EXTENDED FORECAST, SOME OF THE RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS COULD CONTINUE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MAINLY IN THE MORNING IN CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL MINNESOTA.

36 THE HIGH ON WEDNESDAY.

PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY ON THURSDAY WITH A HIGH OF 41 AND PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEKEND.

THERE'S ANOTHER CHANCE OF SOME MIXED PRECIPITATION ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 40s BUT A LITTLE COOLER ON SATURDAY.

BACK TO YOU.

THIS ALL PART OF A 14-0 LIONS ONE THAT SHE SCORED ON.

AND GREEN WAY FINISHED 4 FROM 9 FROM DOWNTOWN.

THEY DEFEAT CROSBY-IRONTON 83-81.

FINISHED 32-1 AND WAS THE STATE RUNNER-UP.

HERE'S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY AFTER THE GAME.

>> PLAYED GOOD DEFENSE OWE OBVIOUSLY I KNOW IT GOT TAKEN AWAY.

FRUSTRATED AT POINTS.

>> THEY TOOK AWAY WITH OUR RUNNING GAME.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A POST AS A THREAT OUT ON THE PERIMETER SO IN THE PAINT 24/7.

>> I REALLY WANTED TO GET ONE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

I REALLY FEEL LIKE I LET THEM DOWN.

IT'S TOUGH FOR THE GIRLS.

I FEEL LIKE I LET THEM DOWN A LITTLE BIT TOO.

BUT I REALLY -- I REALLY WANTED THAT FIRST ONE FOR CI.

A DAY AWAY TAKING FROM THE TARGET CENTER COURTS, THE PATRIOTS HOPE TO CHANGE THEIR FORTUNE AGAINST THE STATE'S BEST.

>> WHEN YOU SEE THE SAME OPPONENT TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME, IT'S ONLY NATURAL FOR RIVALRIES TO SPUR AND THAT'S EXACTLY THE CASE BETWEEN PEQUOT LAKES AND ESKO BOYS BASKETBALL.

>> WE KNOW THEY ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE TOUGH.

THEY ARE ALWAYS REALLY HARD IN THE PAINT AND VERY STRAP BY.

THEY ARE JUST LIKE US BASICALLY, BUT WE TRY TO PULL THROUGH AT THE END.
