Faribault Woman Files Discrimination Charge After Burger King Worker Wears Blackface

Shavelle Devine pulled up to the drive-through window at a Faribault Burger King on Halloween and found the employee working the register with her face covered in dark makeup. Devine recorded the encounter, and in the video the employee tells her, “I'm just Black today,” later adding, “I just wanted to be Black.” Devine has since filed a discrimination charge against the restaurant under Minnesota civil rights law.

Northfield attorney faces possible 2nd suspension over eviction case

A Minnesota Supreme Court-appointed referee has recommended suspending a prominent Northfield attorney for at least 60 days after finding he violated professional conduct rules while pursuing a 2024 eviction case in Faribault. Referee Jon A. Maturi concluded in September that David Ludescher filed a frivolous eviction complaint and a subsequent frivolous motion for a new trial. However, Maturi determined that the filings were not malicious and that the misconduct was substantially less serious than violations that led to Ludescher’s previous suspension in 2023. Ludescher, a former Northfield city councilor and frequent voice in local political discussions, disputes the findings. The case began when a woman acquired a Faribault rental property whose previous owner had leased it without obtaining the required city rental license. The new owner retained Ludescher to evict two tenants, citing concerns about property damage, access to the home and potential civil or criminal penalties for continuing to rent without a license. Although the city of Faribault prohibits renting property without a license, its ordinance does not specify whether such a violation invalidates an existing lease. Ludescher maintained that the previous owner’s failure to obtain a license made the agreement unenforceable against the new owner, who should not

HAPPY BUT NOT SATISFIED: Bluejays once again enter state playoffs with top south seed

After a thrilling comeback victory in the Section 3AAA championship, the Waseca Bluejays were obviously ecstatic making a return trip to the state tournament. But senior captain Brady McKenna made it clear in the huddle after the game: "I'm happy, I'm not satisfied. We got a lot of work to do." The Jays' season looked to be in doubt in the section title game against the Tri-City United Titans on Friday, Nov. 6 in New Ulm. They were trailing 24-14 in the fourth quarter, but they ended up scoring 14 unanswered points to punch their return ticket to state and get revenge over TCU in dramatic fashion. The Titans handed the Jays their only defeat in the regular season. Waseca's second straight 3AAA championship comes after a remarkable 2025 season that saw them go undefeated in the regular season and finish the season as the Class AAA runners-up. Now, there is no doubt that Waseca looks to continue their season for a few more weeks, hoping to make it back to the state championship game. "I'm really happy," McKenna told the Waseca County News after the section championship about the teams' goals past that. "We got a plan, it's just

Moore says Fry slandered her, county is negotiating in ‘bad faith’

When the Steele County Commissioners voted unanimously on Aug. 25 to pursue a contract with Dr. Kellyanna Moore, who has filled the coroner role since 2009, it appeared the Steele County coroner saga was close to a resolution. However, the negotiations between Moore and Steele County Attorney Robert Jarrett seem to have hit an impasse. The commissioners went into closed session, which the agenda cited as being protected under attorney-client privilege, following Tuesday’s board meeting and reconvened for the subsequent open session to publicly discuss the coroner contract structure. The discussion was spearheaded by Jarrett. His position was that the current services agreement as outlined provided no coverage options for claims related to coroner services—such as body transportation and workers’ compensation suits for those currently employed through Moore’s office—and that the Minnesota County Insurance Trust could not offer coverage. It was his belief that the gap in coverage could leave the county open to litigation in the future. As such, he said he refused to sign off on the services agreement as proposed. Moore contended that no claims have been made against her office during her time as the Steele County coroner and that her insurance as well as that

Balancing School and sports as a Student Athlete

Dealing with school and sports can be a very challenging experience for student athletes. Having to worry about tests and assignments while knowing you have a big game or contest ahead of you later in the day can negatively affect your performance in class or in your sport. While you may have multiple responsibilities that you have to take care of in the classroom and on the court or field, finding a balance between the two is essential to being successful.
