Suspected impaired driver crashes in Brooklyn Park, flees on foot during police chase
Police in a northern Twin Cities suburb say a potentially impaired driver evaded law enforcement after crashing during a pursuit early Sunday. The Brooklyn Park Police Department says it was requested to help the Minnesota State Patrol as the chase entered city limits shortly after 3 a.m. Authorities believed the suspect was impaired, and said he was driving erratically and posing a public safety risk. While Brooklyn Park officers were on the way, the suspect crashed at the intersection of County Road 81 and West Broadway Avenue, according to police. Law enforcement searched the area after the suspect fled the scene of the crash on foot, but they were unsuccessful in finding them.

The Vintage Breakfast Dish That Became A US Army Staple
When you think about Army food, there are a few things that probably come to mind. Maybe you imagine Frank Costanza accidentally poisoning his troop in the Korean War and never cooking again. Maybe you think of the popularization of instant coffee, or of David Schwimmer's Herbert Sobel in "Band of Brothers" forcing his platoon to run on bellies stuffed to the brim with spaghetti. Or maybe you think of ... chipped beef? A staple of military eating since at least 1910, chipped beef on toast has been designated as S.O.S., or "same old slop" (among other, more colorful appellations), partly out of affection and partly out of abhorrence. But what exactly is it? Chipped beef is, essentially, a "by any means necessary" version of biscuits and gravy. The meat in question is highly salted, dried beef, traditionally requiring no refrigeration before opening. How salty is it? A single serving often contributes over 40% of the recommended daily value for sodium. Different makers of dried beef use different types of beef, with one company using beef knuckles, while others use beef rounds. To make the iconic dish, you just need to make a white gravy out of butter, flour, and milk, then add the dried beef and serve the whole sloppy meal on toast. Onions, peas, and herbs or spices like parsley or cayenne can be added depending on personal preference. While the gravy originally included beef stock, that practice seems to have been phased out for a creamier result. Read more: 6 Canned Meats You Should Buy And 4 You Should Avoid How To Use Chipped Beef At Home The first recipes for chipped beef on toast might have come from the Army, but the meat itself actually originated with the Pennsylvania Amish, along with other iconic dishes like Pennsylvania-style chicken pot pie. It began being sold in local supermarkets in the area, and from there, became the Army staple we know it as today. While chipped beef on toast is the most common application of the dried beef, it's far from the only one. Scrambled eggs and chipped beef is a salt-packed, quick-preparation breakfast that anyone can whip up in a flash, and dried beef can make itself at home in an Italian sandwich or charcuterie board. There's also the Midwestern classic dried beef cheeseball, an all-purpose appetizer made by taking a ball of cream cheese, rolling it in the dried beef slices, and eating it with Ritz crackers, with the beef adding a powerful punch to the more mild cheese. If you are planning on adding dried beef to your larder and experimenting with the wartime ration, one common piece of advice is to taste it first so you can get a proper gauge on its saltiness. Don't be afraid to rinse it off in the sink to remove some of the sodium and keep it from overpowering your other ingredients. Want more food knowledge?

Woman Reunites with Brother She Never Knew Existed After Nearly 80-Year Separation: 'I Still Can't Believe He Found Me'
Melanie Griffin's long-lost older brother spent years searching for her — now, they're still looking forward to meeting in person for the first timeNEED TO KNOW After nearly 80 years, long-lost sister siblings Marian Griffin and Donald Hefke have found each other Separated shortly after Marian's birth, both siblings were adopted by different families — and while Hefke spent years looking for her younger sister, she didn't know she had an older brother until 2024 "I thought it was a scam," she said of first learning the newsAfter nearly 80 years apart, a woman has reconnected with the brother she never knew she had. Shortly after Marian Griffin was born in 1945, she was placed in foster care and then adopted by a Lutheran minister and his family, she told ABC News. It wasn't until July 2024 that Griffin learned that she had an older brother, Donald Hefke, who was still alive and had been searching for her for most of his life. "I thought it was a scam," Griffin, now 80, told the outlet of the life-altering news she learned from Hefke's daughter, Denise Baker, who has also spent decades trying to find her long-lost relative. Hefke is a year older than Griffin, but they were both babies when they were placed into foster care in 1946. Their biological mother suffered from post traumatic stress disorder following Griffin's birth, and was institutionalized, while their biological father was unable to care for them, according to ABC News. Another sibling, their brother Ernest, was born deaf and has since died. Hefke, now 81, was raised by a foster family until he joined the U.S. Air Force. In 1963, wanting to learn more about his biological family, he requested information from the foster care agency and learned that he had a sister named Marian, according to the outlet. But his attempts to connect with his younger sister were thwarted by her adoptive parents, who hid his letters, according to ABC News. "Our kids could have grown up together, instead we were separated because my parents would not tell me that my brother wrote to me and was looking for me," Griffin told the outlet. Baker later continued her father's investigative work, searching for two decades for her missing aunt — but it wasn't until she discovered a family connection online, which had been uploaded by Griffin's son, that she found the person she was looking for. "I still can't believe he found me," Griffin said.

Once Griffin confirmed the connection was real, she spoke with Hefke on the phone. "He says.. 'Mariane, Mariane is that you? Oh my goodness, I've been looking for you Mariane!' " she recalled in an interview with ABC affiliate KRCR-TV. "He couldn't even stop saying my name." While Hefke can't travel from his home in Florida because of his health, Baker visited Griffin in California in his stead, according to ABC News. Now, Griffin plans on making a trip to see her long-lost sibling. "Oh my gosh it would be wonderful even for a few days," she told KRCR. "We have 80 years to catch up on."
