Fired executive director sues Le Sueur city, HRA over claims of discrimination

The former executive director of the Le Sueur Housing and Redevelopment Authority is suing the city and claiming that her May 15, 2024, firing violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. Melissa Huntington, through her attorney Adam N. Froehlich, of Mankato, says she disclosed several mental health diagnoses, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorder and recurrent major depressive disorder to board members after receiving a negative performance review and the board did not take adequate steps to provide accommodations. The complaint was filed June 29 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. Following the review, Huntington formally disclosed her diagnoses and told the authority board she needed reasonable accommodations in order to meet the board’s expectations, the lawsuit states. According to the complaint, Huntington’s evaluation by the board, which was conducted on Nov. 15, 2023, showed she needed to improve her “overall management performance,” “communications/relationship with the HRA board,” “staff supervision and overall performance of HRA staff,” “financial management and project management” and “achievement of goals set by the HRA board.” The review contained several comments, including that Huntington was “unprepared,” “relied on calling other (executive directors) and HUD personnel to complete tasks that she should be able

Making memories in Maple Grove Hospital NICU

Halloween is a time for children and families to dress up in costumes and have fun. But some of the tiniest babies are not able to get out of the house for their first Halloween in a costume. Nenoatal intensive care unit nurses at Maple Grove Hospital are making sure those babies and their families are able to celebrate a first Halloween complete with costumes and photos to commemorate the occasion. According to Noah Pardo, nurse manager at Maple Grove Hospital's NICU, the hospital nurses have been creating costumes for the babies within the department for the past five years. He said Breeanna Obermann, NICU transport registered nurse at Maple Grove Hospital, really has taken the lead on the endeavor. “She has coordinated the outfits, costumes, working with the other nurses and getting pictures for the babies with consent from the families,” Pardo said. At the beginning of October, Obermann and the rest of the NICU nursing team started brainstorming costume ideas. Pardo said that with twins, the nurses try to make unique coordinating costumes. This year, there were Woody and Jessie cowboy costumes from the "Toy Story" movie franchise. Another pair were dressed as bacon and eggs. “It is

Treichler wins Wright County sheriff's race with 76% of vote

WRIGHT COUNTY — Chief Deputy Matt Treichler will become Wright County's next sheriff after defeating fellow Sheriff's Office veteran Rob Mossman by a decisive margin in Tuesday's election. Treichler received 43,303 votes, or 75.63%, compared with Mossman's 13,713 votes, or 23.95%, according to unofficial results from the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office. Treichler spent election night at Spilled Grain Brewhouse in his hometown of Annandale, surrounded by family, friends and supporters as the results came in. The Nov. 3 election determined who will succeed Sheriff Sean Deringer, who announced in January that he would not seek a third term. Deringer, first elected in 2018, plans to retire at the end of the year. Treichler, 48, has spent more than 25 years with the Wright County Sheriff's Office, including the past eight years as chief deputy. As second-in-command, he oversees the agency's daily operations, including a budget of approximately $52 million and more than 310 employees. In a postelection statement on his campaign Facebook page, Treichler thanked residents for their support. “I'm incredibly grateful for your trust, your support, and the opportunity to serve as your next sheriff,” he wrote. “I'm excited about what lies ahead and ready to get to

Great River Energy replaces wind turbine in Maple Grove

The wind turbine outside of the Great River Energy headquarters in Maple Grove has been replaced with a more efficient turbine. The iconic turbine has been part of the Maple Grove landscape along Elm Creek Boulevard for many years. The old turbine was installed outside the headquarters building in 2007, and it generated electricity for the building for 18 years. Trevor Roy, Great River Energy Media and External Relations Lead, said, “The old turbine actually dates back to 1994, when it first went into service in the Netherlands, so it had a long and productive life before reaching the end of its useful life.” He said as the technology aged, the repairs became more difficult and costly. Replacing the turbine with newer technology was the way to go. Great River Energy actually reused parts of the old turbine. Roy said, “The new turbine isn’t taller. We’re actually reusing the existing tower and foundation, as well as much of the electrical infrastructure. The new turbine has a lower nameplate capacity, but newer technology allows it to generate electricity at lower wind speeds.” The old blades and the nacelle, which houses the mechanical components for the wind turbine, were removed the week
