(Beltrami County, MN)  —  Two hundred people are safe after being stranded on a piece of ice.  Authorities say the piece of ice broke free yesterday on Upper Red Lake.  The stranded anglers were about 30 yards out in open water before being rescued.  A resort owner was able to get a bridge from their shore out to use as an evacuation point and most people were off the ice before emergency responders arrived.  No injuries were reported.
