Stolen Hershey’s candy bars lead to meth bust

A Waseca man has been charged with felony drug possession following a traffic stop initiated due to reports of theft at a Kwik Trip. On Nov. 4, the Owatonna Police Department received a report of a theft at the Kwik Trip at 1075 Frontage Road in Owatonna. Officers reportedly recognized the suspect in the passenger seat and the vehicle from their description and involvement in an alleged theft that had occurred the day prior at the same Kwik Trip. Officers located the vehicle described by the reporting party and initiated a traffic stop near Alexander Drive Southwest and 24th Avenue Southwest. The passenger of the vehicle identified himself as Gary Stanton Rousey, 57, of 211 Eighth Ave. SE in Waseca. Rousey was asked to step out of the vehicle, arrested and read his Miranda rights. After agreeing to speak with police, Rousey claimed that he had paid for his pizza but had stolen the orange soda, which a Kwik Trip employee later claimed he had shoved down the back of his pants, and three Hershey’s candy bars. While he was being searched, officers located an unlabeled pill container in Rousey’s right front jacket pocket. The container held a powdery substance,

Demolition of ‘hazardous’ home on First Avenue begins at owners expense

After years of back and forth over the property at the end of First Avenue, demolition on the “hazardous” home began Thursday afternoon. The next of kin of the property owners will be billed for the $44,000 demolition, Faribault Fire Chief Dusty Dienst said. “This one is years in the making. Years and years of neglect. A lack of maintenance over time catches up with any building, and that’s the case here,” Dienst said. “This one was abandoned at least so it wasn’t as touchy as ones where there’s people still living in them.” Dienst said the owners of 1422 First Ave. died years ago, but no paperwork was ever signed to pass the home down to the owner’s family. The fire chief said the city was working with the owner’s next of kin, who were OK with the city’s demolition. “I don’t want to say they’re okay with it because you it’s their home they grew up in, but the reality of it is nobody has the resources to do what the building needs. There’s a reason it’s in the condition it’s in,” he said. “They were on board with the process we’re going through, which is not normal.

Long-awaited Steele County animal shelter nears fundraising finish line

The wait for an animal shelter in Steele County has stretched on longer than anyone expected, but the volunteers guiding the project have announced they’re finally close to meeting their goal. After several years of fundraising, they hope to have the shelter up and running soon. Construction is nearly complete on the facility, which stands next to Lake Chase Dog Park. Steele County Humane Society board members Liane Peterson and Deb Singelstad predicted an opening date early next year. Although it was originally budgeted at $2 million, repeated delays and soaring construction costs have pushed the actual price tag closer to $2.4 million. More than once, construction has paused to allow fundraising to catch up. They’re currently seeking “a couple hundred thousand” to finish the building, purchase furnishings and fixtures and give them the initial operating funds they need. Singelstad said that even now a handful of large donations could advance the project’s timeline. “Once we get open, it’s going to be a big asset to Steele County. We’ll be able to house these animals that need help,” she said. Crews are in the third and final stage of construction, installing ceiling grids, electric fixtures, kennels and other necessities.

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.
