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

>>> THE CASS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAS OFFICIALLY IDENTIFIED DYLON RAY OOTHOUDT OF WALKER AS THE VICTIM OF A HOMICIDE THAT OCCURRED IN CASS LAKE OVER THE WEEKEND.

THE COMMUNITY GATHERED FOR A CANDLELIGHT VIGIL LAST NIGHT IN HONOR OF THE 17-YEAR-OLD.

OUR REPORTER SYDNEY DICK SPOKE TO OOTHOUDT'S FAMILY MEMBERS ABOUT HIS LIFE, AND ABOUT THE GUN VIOLENCE THAT ENDED IT.

>> I COULD SIT HERE AND TALK FOR HOURS ABOUT THEM AND IT WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH TIME FOR ME TO EXPLAIN HOW MUCH OF A GOOD PERSON HE WAS AND -- HE WAS JUST A REALLY GOOD FRIEND TO EVERYBODY.

HE WAS A REALLY GENTLE SOUL.

HE LOVED HIS FAMILY TO THE HEART.

I AM REALLY BIG ON THAT.

HE LOVED HIS FAMILY.

TRULY ONE OF A KIND KID.

>> Reporter: 17-YEAR-OLD OOTHOUDT WAS IN HIS SECOND YEAR AT HIGH SCHOOL.

HE LOST HIS LIFE ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

>> THAT NIGHT, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHTTIME, HE WAS SHOT.

HIS LIFE WAS TAKEN DUE TO GUN VIOLENCE.

AS ANISHINAABE PEOPLE, WE'RE ALL ONE.

STUFF LIKE THAT HAPPENS, IT DOESN'T JUST EFFECT OUR FAMILY, IT AFFECTS EVERYBODY.

>> THERE ARE PLENTY OF LITTLE CHILDREN THAT I SEE THAT ARE PLAYING WITH GUNS, THAT SHOULDN'T BE PLAYING WITH KNIVES, THINKING THEY'RE COOL AND WHATNOT.

IT'S NOT WHAT THEY'RE USED FOR.

>> THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY WE DID THAT VIGIL.

IT WASN'T IN REMEMBRANCE, BUT FOR EVERYONE WHO SURVIVED GUN VIOLENCE.

>> Reporter: HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS REMEMBER HIM FOR THE LOVE HE HAD FOR OTHERS AND THE CHANCES THAT HE FACED IN LIFE.

>> HE LOVED EVERY SINGLE BODY.

HE LOVED HIS NIECE AND NEPHEW AND HE ALWAYS TELLS ME HE MISSED THEM.

I KNOW THE ONE PERSON HE MISSED MOST WAS OUR MOTHER.

THERE ARE A FEW TIMES WHERE WE CRIED TOGETHER AND SAT DOWN AND TALKED AND SAID WHAT WOULD MOM WANT ME TO DO?

THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO ANSWER THAT TO YOUR LITTLE BROTHER.

IT WAS TOUGH FOR HIM.

>> DYLON LOST HIS MOTHER AT A YOUNG AGE.

HE WAS REALLY CONFUSED WITH LIFE, YOU KNOW.

AS ANY LITTLE KID WOULD BE.

HE LONGED FOR HIS MOM, HE WANTED HIS MOM.

THAT'S THE ONLY COMFORT WE REALLY GET, KNOWING HE IS WITH HIS MOM.

>> Reporter: THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND HIS DEATH IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION.

THE FAMILY ASKS THAT ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE INCIDENT BE REPORTED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND NOT TO FAMILY MEMBERS THEMSELVES AS THEY ARE TAKING TIME TO GRIEVE.

>> TALKING ON THE PHONE WITH HIM BEFORE HE HUNG UP, I LOVE YOU EVERY TIME.

HE WOULD NOT FORGET TO SAY I LOVE YOU.

DRIVE SAFE, HE WAS THAT TYPE OF KID.

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

>> THE INVESTIGATION INTO OOTHOUDT'S DEATH IS ONGOING AND NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME.

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE INCIDENT, SHERIFF BRYAN WELK AND DYLON'S FAMILY ARE ASKING THE PUBLIC TO CALL THE CASS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, OR THE LEECH LAKE TRIBAL POLICE.

>>> THE BEMIDJI POLICE DEPARTMENT IS SEEKING THE PUBLIC'S ASSISTANCE IN LOCATING A MISSING 48 YEAR OLD MAN.

TIMOTHY NELSON WAS REPORTED AS MISSING TODAY BY A FAMILY MEMBER.

NELSON IS BELIEVED TO POSSIBLY BE IN A RED FORD TAURUS WITH MINNESOTA LICENSE PLATE M-W-A-6-7-3.

NELSON IS 5-FEET, 10 INCHES TALL AND WEIGHS ABOUT 160 POUNDS.

HE HAS SHORT/SHAVED BROWN HAIR AND GREEN EYES.

AUTHORITIES DON'T KNOW WHAT CLOTHES HE WAS WEARING, WHICH DIRECTION HE WAS HEADED OR WHERE HE WAS TRAVELING TO.

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING TIMOTHY NELSON'S WHEREABOUTS, PLEASE CONTACT THE BEMIDJI POLICE DEPARTMENT AT 218-333-9111.

>>> THE BEMIDJI PLANNING BOARD IS TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FUTURE OF LARGE DATA CENTERS IN THE CITY.

REPORTER RYAN FLEMING BREAKS DOWN WHAT CITY LEADERS DECIDED ON MONDAY, AND WHY.

>> Reporter: DISCUSSION OVER DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN BUILDING FOR SOME TIME.

LOCAL OFFICIALS SAY CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS SURROUNDING THESE PROJECTS WERE ALREADY ON THEIR RADAR BEFORE THE VOTE.

>> WELL, A FEW THINGS.

WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS INTERNALLY FOR A WHILE BETWEEN US, AMONG STAFF, AND SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS.

WE'RE VERY AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE STATE.

>> THAT MOTION PASSES, 6-1.

>> Reporter: THE MORATORIUM APPLIES TO PROPOSED DATA CENTERS LARGER THAN 10,000 FEET.

FOR BEMIDJI, THE QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF DATA CENTER FITS HERE AND WHAT RULES SHOULD COME WITH IT?

CITY LEADERS ARE TAKING A YEAR TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

>> CONDUCTING THE STUDY AND HAVING A PAUSE TO WALK THROUGH IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO GO THROUGH IT.

THE ONE COUNCIL PERSON WHO VOTED AGAINST IT WAS REALLY SPEAKING TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND FEARING THIS MORATORIUM MIGHT SLOW THAT DOWN.

>> Reporter: WARD 3 COUNCIL MEMBER WAS THE ONLY MEMBER TO VOTE AGAINST IT, WARNING THAT THE PAUSE COULD MAKE DEVELOPMENT HARDER TO ATTRACT.

>> IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE CONTINUING TO PUT UP BARRIERS TO DEVELOPMENT AND I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

>> Reporter: THE GOAL IS NOT TO DECIDE THE ANSWER NOW BUT TO USE THE 12 MONTHS TO DECIDE WHAT, IF ANYTHING, COULD WORK FOR BEMIDJI.

>> IF SOMETHING COULD WORK, WHERE WOULD IT GO?

MAYBE IT'S A SITUATION WHERE WE DON'T THINK ANYTHING IS GOING TO WORK.

SO, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SORT OF ASKING ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE END OF THE MORATORIUM, BUT I THINK THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF HAVING A MORATORIUM, TO DO THE HONEST WORK AND THE STUDY.

>> Reporter: REPORTING IN BEMIDJI, I'M RYAN FLEMING, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> THE MORATORIUM WENT INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.

THE CITY'S PLANNING COMMISSION, MADE UP BEMIDJI CITIZENS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED THE MORATORIUM LAST MONTH.

>>> THE U.S.

FOREST SERVICE IS KEEPING TWO NORTHERN MINNESOTA RESEARCH STATIONS OPEN AFTER PREVIOUSLY INDICATING THEY WOULD BE CLOSING.

THE U.S.

FOREST SERVICE HAS POSTED REORGANIZATION PLANS ON ITS WEBSITE AND IT SHOWS THAT FACILITIES WILL REMAIN OPEN.

THOSE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SLATED TO CLOSE.

NOW THE ONLY ONE IN MINNESOTA SET TO CLOSE IS A FACILITY IN ST.

PAUL.

MINNEAPOLIS-SAINT PAUL INTERNATIONAL IS THE BEST SO-CALLED MEGA AIRPORT IN THE U.S.

AND BROADER REGION.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO JD POWER'S 2026 NORTH AMERICA AIRPORT SATISFACTION STUDY.

DETROIT METROPOLITAN WAYNE COUNTY AIRPORT TAKES SECOND PLACE, FOLLOWED BY PHOENIX SKY HARBOR INTERNATIONAL.

IN THE CATEGORY OF LARGE AIRPORTS.

TAMPA IS THE WINNER.

CHARLESTON IS ON TOP AMONG MEDIUM-SIZE FACILITIES.

THE SURVEY ALSO SHOWS OVERALL AIRPORT SATISFACTION IS ON THE RISE.

JD POWER SAYS THE TOP AIRPORTS HAVE INVESTED IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND USE FOOD AND DÉCOR TO ESTABLISH A SENSE OF PLACE.

>> THE WATER TOWER WAS BUILT IN THE 20s, AND IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST CONTINUOUSLY POURED CONCRETE WATER TOWERS IN THE COUNTRY.

YOU HAVE SEEN THROUGH PREVIOUS YEARS THAT SEEING SOME DELAMINATION OF THE STUCCO ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE WATER TOWER.

THESE TWO GRANTS THAT WERE AWARDED WILL GO TOWARDS FIXING THAT STUCCO.

>> Reporter: OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, THE TOWER HAS RECEIVED SOME RENOVATIONS, INCLUDING FIXING UP THE ROOF AND INSTALLING WINDOW PANELS.

NOW THE FOCUS SHIFTS TO FIXING THE EXTERIOR.

>> AS YOU CAN SEE AS YOU DRIVE BY THE STRUCTURE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE EXTERIOR STUCCO IS EFFECTING THE OUTSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.

SO NOW, WE HAVE THE STRUCTURE, THE STUCCO.

THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

>> Reporter: THE SECOND GRANT BRINGS THE TOTAL AMOUNT RECEIVED TO $1 MILLION, A STEP CLOSER TO THEIR GOAL OF $3.2 MILLION.

>> IT'S A HUGE MOMENTOUS OCCASION TO US, TO HELP US RESTORE THE EXTERIOR OF THE BRAINERD WATER TOWER.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CITY OF BRAINERD TO SOMEHOW GET THE PRICE DOWN FROM APPROXIMATELY $3 MILLION TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO FOR $1 MILLION.

>> Reporter: THEY SEE THE WATER TOWER AS A HISTORIC LANDMARK THAT SHOULD BE PRESERVED FOR GENERATIONS.

>> IT'S AN ICON OF BRAINERD.

[♪♪♪] >>> TOM SERRATORE HAS BEEN AT THE HELM OF BEMIDJI STATE MEN'S HOCKEY FOR THE LAST 25-SEASONS, BUT YEAR 26 WILL BE HIS LAST.

TODAY, IT WAS ANNOUNCED HE WILL RETIRE AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE 2026-27 BEAVER HOCKEY SEASON, AND THAT ASSISTANT COACH TRAVIS WINTER WILL SUCCEED HIM.

SERRATORE TOOK OVER THE PROGRAM IN 2001 FOLLOWING THE RETIREMENT OF THE LEGENDARY RH BOB PETERS, WHOM SERRATORE BOTH PLAYED FOR AND COACHED ALONGSIDE.

SINCE THEN, HE HAS AMASSED 416 CAREER WINS, WON 7 REGULAR SEASON TITLES, 3 CONFERENCE TOURNAMENTS, WAS AN 8-TIME CONFERENCE COACH OF THE YEAR, AND LED BSU TO SIX NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES, REACHING THE FROZEN FOUR IN 2009.

IN A STATEMENT RELEASED EARLIER TODAY, SERRATORE SAID.

IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO BE ENTRUSTED WITH THIS PROGRAM AND TO WORK SO CLOSELY WITH THE PLAYERS, OUR ALUMNI, AND THIS BEAVER HOCKEY COMMUNITY.

WE'VE ENJOYED A LOT OF SUCCESS HERE, BUT IT'S THE RELATIONSHIPS WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST 26-YEARS THAT MEAN SO MUCH TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

WE WILL HAVE MORE FROM COACH SERRATORE ON HIS RETIREMENT ON TOMORROW NIGHT'S SHOW.

>>> BRAINERD GIRLS' SWIMMING AND DIVING IS NOT ONLY THE TWO-TIME REIGNING CENTRAL LAKES CONFERENCE AND SECTION 8-3A CHAMPS, THEY ALSO ARE COMING OFF AN UNDEFEATED REGULAR SEASON IN 2025.

HOWEVER SPORTS REPORTER MILES WALKER TELLS US HOW DESPITE THE CROWN STARTING TO FEEL HEAVY, THEY CONTINUE TO SET THE STANDARD.

>> Reporter: BRAINERD GIRLS SWIMMING AND DIVING IS PRIORITIZING VERSATILITY WHILE ALSO HAVING FUN AND BRANCHING OFF.

>> IT'S GETTING A BREAK FROM SOME OF YOUR DIFFERENT EVENTS.

LIKE THIS WEEK, WE'RE ALL DOING FUN EVENTS AND THEN IT MAKES THE MEET SO MUCH FUNNER, AND BEING ABLE TO SWIM ALL OF THOSE FOR COLLEGES AND STUFF, IT MAKES A DIFFERENT IMPACT ON YOUR BODY.

>> Reporter: THE WARRIORS CARRY FOUR SWIMMERS, THE TEAM CONSISTS OF PLENTY OF YOUTHS, AS WELL AS VETERANS READY TO LEAD.

>> HONESTLY, IT'S A LOT OF FUN.

YOU HAVE YOUNG GIRLS THAT SHOW HOW IT WORKS, WHAT YOU DO, AND YOU ARE GOING TO MEET A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE AND THE WAY PEOPLE TRAIN AND THEY LEARN FROM YOU AND YOU LEARN FROM THEM.

HAVING A GOOD MENTALITY IS GOING TO GET YOU THROUGH THE RACE.

WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD MENTALITY.

THAT IS GOING TO MESS WITH YOU A LOT.

>> Reporter: THE WARRIORS KNOW ABOUT THE TARGETS ON THEIR BACKS, HOWEVER PRESSURE IS NOT ONLY A PRIVILEGE, IT CAN ALSO SERVE AS AMPLE MOTIVATION.

>> ONE OF MY BIGGEST THINGS IS PRESSURE MAKES PRIVILEGE AND I'M PRIVILEGED TO SWIM WITH ALL THESE GIRLS AND GOING INTO SECTIONS, HAVING THAT SPECIFIC PRESSURE ON YOU, IT MAKES ME WANT TO SWIM FASTER, IT MAKES ME LIKE CRAVE TO WIN.

THE PRESSURE THAT GETS PUT ON US, I WOULD SAY THAT IS WHAT DRIVES ME TO SWIM FASTER.

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

>> Charlie: THE WARRIORS HAD 7 DIFFERENT SWIMMERS AND DIVERS WIN FIRST PLACE MEDALS DURING THEIR FIRST MEET.

DOING PRETTY GOOD SO FAR.

>> Dennis: THANKS CHARLIE.

SEPTEMBER IS BRAIN ANEURYSM AWARENESS MONTH.

ACCORDING TO ADVOCACY GROUPS, IT'S ESTIMATED THAT MORE THAN SIX MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S.

ARE LIVING WITH AN UNRUPTURED ANEURYSM IN THEIR BRAIN AND IF IT DOES RUPTURE, IT'S OFTEN FATAL.

IN TODAY'S HEALTH MINUTE, MANDY GAITHER HAS BRAIN ANEURYSM WARNING SIGNS AND RISK FACTORS THAT DOCTORS SAY EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW.

>> Reporter: IT CAN HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT, AND WHEN AN ANEURYSM RUPTURES IN THE BRAIN, IT'S FATAL ABOUT HALF THE TIME.

THOSE WHO DO SURVIVE, ABOUT 66% SUFFER PERMANENT NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE.

>> THAT IS A SCARY THING ABOUT BRAIN ANEURYSMS.

A LOT OF THE TIMES, THERE ARE NO SYMPTOMS.

>> Reporter: DR.

MARK BAIN SAYS A LOT OF TIMES A BRAIN ANEURYSM IS FOUND BY ACCIDENT, WHETHER IT'S IMAGING AFTER A FALL, OR BECAUSE OF A HEADACHE, BUT AN ESTIMATED 6.8 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S.

ARE LIVING WITH ONE THAT IS UNRUPTURED AND THAT IS WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE AT RISK.

>> YEARS OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF SMOKING A LOT OF CIGARETTES, IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF ANEURYSMS.

THAT MAY LEAD YOU TO WANT TO GET SCREENED.

>> Reporter: BAIN SAYS IT'S A MRI SCAN OF THE BLOOD VESSELS IN THE BRAIN.

EARLY DIAGNOSIS IS CRITICAL, ALLOWING DOCTORS TO EVALUATE RUPTURE RISKS AND TREAT THE BRAIN ANEURYSM BEFORE LIFE-THREATENING BLEEDING OCCURS.

WARNING SIGNS CAN INCLUDE A SEVERE HEADACHE THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN ONES YOU NORMALLY EXPERIENCE, HAVING SEIZURES, IF YOUR EYE SUDDENLY CLOSES OR IF YOU HAVE DOUBLE VISION.

>> IF YOU THINK SOMETHING IS OFF, GET IT CHECKED OUT.

MESSAGE YOUR PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR SO THEY CAN REFER YOU TO A NEUROSURGEON.

>> Reporter: FOR HEALTH MINUTE, I'M MANDY GAITHER.

>> Dennis: NOW WE HEAD TO STACY FOR MORE ON OUR WEATHER.

>> Stacy: WE COULD SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

LOWS DOWN TO # -- 50.

THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS IN THE MORNING, FOG IN THE MORNING, HIGHS SHOULD REACH 70 AND LOOKING AHEAD, WE'LL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY, WITH DRY WEATHER RETURNING FOR THE WEEKEND, HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH THE 60s.

>> Charlie: BEMIDJI HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FINALLY HAS A HOME GAME THIS WEEK.

WE GET A CHANCE TO HEAR FROM THEM AHEAD OF THEIR BIG ONE AGAINST BUFFALO.

THAT WILL WRAP UP YOU ARE SHOW.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY.
