Minneapolis-area police issue thin ice warning after multiple people fall into frigid water

Officials in the Upper Midwest are warning residents of the dangers of venturing out onto frozen lakes and ponds after several people fell through the thin ice, leaving at least one person dead.
Police in the town of Woodbury, Minn.,, said two people, including a teenage boy, needed to be rescued after falling through thin ice on Markgrafs Lake on Monday.
Police said in a Facebook post that they received a report that someone had fallen through the ice around 4:30 p.m. local time, and when officials arrived at the scene, they were told a second person who had gone out onto the ice to help the first victim had also fallen in.
First responders were able to pull that person from the water, but the second person, who was identified as a teenage boy, had gone under the water and ice before they arrived and was not able to be immediately rescued.
Divers eventually located him and both victims were taken to a local hospital. Their conditions were not known as of Tuesday morning.
Police said another water rescue had taken place earlier in the day when a
To the north, police said the body of an ice skater from Duluth, Minnesota, was pulled from Woodstock Bay in Superior, Wisconsin, after he fell through the ice on Sunday night.
Police in Douglas County, Wisconsin, said 78-year-old Gregory Garmer left his home around 1:30 p.m. Sunday to go ice skating and never returned.
A search was launched, and police said his body was eventually located around 4 p.m. Monday.
There is no reliable “inch thickness” to determine whether the ice is safe, and ice-covered snow should always be considered unsafe.
Anyone venturing onto the ice should take proper precautions, such as using the proper tools and techniques to check ice conditions.
It’s always advised to use the buddy system and to let other people know your plans in case of an emergency.

Police: Argument turns violent, one shot and killed in downtown Minneapolis

An altercation on a downtown Minneapolis sidewalk turned deadly Tuesday night when a man in his 30s was shot and killed, according to police.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the altercation on the 1500 block of 11th Avenue S. involved people who knew each other and escalated to the point that one person pulled out a gun. The shooting occurred around 6:30 p.m.
“Police officers immediately attempted to provide life-saving first aid, and they were later joined by EMS,” the chief said. “Unfortunately, that male was pronounced deceased at the scene.”
Investigators interviewing witnesses and relatives later on the city block, within view of U.S Bank Stadium and around the corner from a soccer game at a crowded Elliot Park. Video from cameras positioned around the block could offer further evidence, O’Hara added.
O’Hara said he was concerned about the possibility of further violence and retaliation among the people involved in the altercation and that his department was taking swift action to try to prevent that.
The chief said the identity of the victim will be released by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.

A ‘revival’ for Revival under new ownership

Revival gets re-fired with new owners
When Revival abruptly closed its four locations earlier this year, the move sent shock waves through the local restaurant community, but now the famed fried chicken will be returning under new ownership.
(FOX 9) – Revival’s new owners say they plan to carry on its legacy.
Bringing back a fan favorite
What we know:
When Revival abruptly closed its four locations earlier this year, the move sent shock waves through the local restaurant community.
Now the popular eatery known for its signature fried chicken is being resurrected.
“We feel blessed. Just excited. Just excited,” said Jester Concepts owner, Brent Frederick.
Keeping the brand alive
The backstory:
Jester Concepts, which owns, Borough and Parlor in the North Loop, as well as several other restaurants has purchased the Revival name, recipes and other intellectual properties with plans to revive it.
Frederick says he admired previous co-owners Nick Rancone and Thomas Boemer from afar and reached out to help when he learned Revival had closed.
“Nick and I used to work together.We worked with Thomas on the food side on multiple different events and we just got to know them and love their brand. So when it became available, we just hopped on it,” said Frederick.
Frederick says at first Revival will be reintroduced through its two food trucks but Jester will be looking for a location to open a brick and mortar location in the next year or two.
He says Rancone and Boemer will stay on as consultants and have an ownership stake in the new restaurant.
“I romanticize that first initial dining experience at the initial Revival in Minneapolis and I’m going to be looking to recreate that in and around town somewhere,” said Frederick
What they’re saying:
With its southern comfort food, Revival tempted diners’ taste buds for nearly a decade.
But Frederick believes the Twin Cities has an appetite for more and he’s ready to bring the fan favorite into the future.
“We’re just super excited to acquire it and kind of carry on the legacy and the brand,” said Frederick.
The revived Revival’s fried chicken will be available this weekend, when their food truck will be at Wooden Ship Brewing in South Minneapolis on Saturday and Steel Toe Brewing in St Louis Park on Sunday.

Weekly prayer walks return to North Minneapolis in effort to help reduce crime

After seeing real change in just one year, a community group is picking up their weekly prayer walk in North Minneapolis again.
“We want to step out and get beyond the sanctuary and the worship service on a Sunday morning, and hit the streets where the people are at,” said Dave Halstensgard.
Halstensgard helped form this prayer group alongside Pastor Doris Allison, from Proverbs Christian Fellowship church.
The group walks through Northside every Sunday, specifically having a presence in areas deemed “hot spots” by Minneapolis police, which are areas where crime is more common.
“We need to love people in every situation and not just shake your head and say that was an awful instance,” said Halstensgard.
Since starting these prayer walks last fall, they’ve seen crime go down. The city’s crime statistics show that gun violence in Ward 4 is down 32% compared to this time last year.
“It’s just amazing what prayer can do. I believe that prayer changes things,” said Pastor Allison.
However, this group says they’re still losing too many lives to gun violence. Just three weeks ago, 11-year-old Amir Atkins was gunned down in Folwell Park.
“Amir being killed up there on Dowling Avenue, it gave us more of a reason to step up a little bit more, you know,” said Pastor Allison.
Another mission of this group is to be the bridge between police officers and the community. Officers from the Minneapolis Police Department showed up Sunday to support the group’s efforts and to build trust.
“That’s what we’re aiming at is breaking these barriers down to where the people on the Northside can walk freely and choose to do what they want to do and not be hesitant or afraid,” said Halstensgard.
Over the next 4 weeks, the group will meet every Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Cub Foods Northside parking lot. They welcome anyone to join them.
