DETROIT LAKES

— The Minnesota State Patrol has released the names of those involved in a fatal accident Sunday morning on Highway 10 in Becker County.

Fern Bernice Brown, 83, of Frazee, died in the crash. According to the State Patrol, she was attempting to cross Highway 10 from 290th Avenue in a 2004 Buick Lesabre and pulled out in front of an eastbound 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, causing the Jeep to hit the driver’s side of the Buick.

Two Wadena residents in the Jeep were injured — the driver, Jolene Gail Herr, 47, and a passenger, Jaden Joelle Herr, 21. Both went to the St. Mary’s Essentia Health emergency room in Detroit Lakes with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the State Patrol.

Everyone involved was wearing a seat belt; airbags deployed in the Jeep, but not in the Buick. No alcohol was involved in the crash, which was reported shortly after 8 a.m. on dry pavement in Burlington Township.

The Becker County Sheriff’s Office and Detroit Lakes Fire Department assisted the State Patrol at the scene.

Chickens, geese found at vacant home after nonprofit reports them stolen

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.

The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.

The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.

Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.

“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”

The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.

“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
