Owatonna woman charged with DWI following crash that seriously injured young girl

An Owatonna woman has been charged with gross misdemeanor criminal vehicular operation and two counts of gross misdemeanor DWI following a crash that reportedly resulted in a young girl being airlifted to Rochester with serious injuries. On Aug. 14, the Steele County Sheriff’s Department received reports of a rollover crash near mile marker 34 on Interstate 35 north in which a vehicle had flipped over and pinned a juvenile female underneath. The juvenile was rescued from beneath the vehicle by bystanders while rescue personnel were en route but was said to have been turning blue and spitting blood. Police said deputies observed a child lying on her back in great pain with blood and bruising on her arms and face, and an indentation from the roof of the vehicle across her abdomen. The girl was reportedly experiencing extreme pain in her abdomen and head, which prompted deputies to fit her with a C-collar. Paramedics arrived and provided on-site care and the child was taken by helicopter to Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The driver of the vehicle, Calli Mae Olson, 40, of 8087 23rd Ave. in Owatonna, reportedly told deputies that she had been going 25 to 30 mph and the

Aderman Hall pool currently needs $475,000 in repairs

The 112-year-old Aderman Hall pool at West Hills is in need of some updating. About 5,500 or more people use the West Hills pool annually for swimming lessons, water aerobics, family open swim and rentals, along with trainings for lifeguards and water safety instructors. “There’s really no practical indoor replacement in Owatonna for a pool,” Facilities and Fleet Director Patrick McDermott told the city council during its Wednesday study session. “The only other option — especially in the wintertime — would be the Owatonna Middle School, and that really does not have good access.” When the West Hills pool had to close in the spring for repairs, the local hotels with pools were contacted about availability for swimming lessons. “We got three responses with limited or no availability, and the remaining six did not respond,” McDermott said. “I think they just didn’t want the liability of making that a public pool within a hotel would be our assumption on that.” Large pool repairs history After its construction in 1914, the West Hills pool went about 84 years without record of major repairs. In 1998, a fiberglass pool liner was installed. In 2003, and ADA-compliant restroom and lift were installed thanks

Druski skits not the same as systemic racism of blackface | Opinion

With Druski hosting "Saturday Night Live" and another episode of Halloween costumes gone wrong behind us, it seems like as good a time as any for another difficult conversation about race. It's a shame because Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. It’s the one time of the year when grown folks can dress up, act a little foolish, and pretend to be somebody else without anyone giving them a second look. Women put on sexy costumes that leave little to the imagination. Men dress as everything from Michael Myers to priests, superheroes, and just about anything else imaginable. That’s the beauty of Halloween. Nobody thinks twice about it. It’s all in good fun, but there’s one costume that should have been retired long ago: Blackface. Apparently, somebody forgot to deliver that message to a Burger King employee in Minnesota. Burger King worker serves drive-through customers in blackface On Oct. 31, a White woman working at a Burger King drive-through was recorded serving customers with her face painted shoe-polish black . The incident reportedly happened in Faribault, about an hour south of Minneapolis. When a Black customer confronted her, the employee offered an explanation that left me shaking my head.
