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

Mistakes pile up as Knights football is eliminated

St. Michael-Albertville football's momentum stopped after a first-round upset to Woodbury, as Rosemount beat them in the round of 16 to end their season in the state tournament. The Knights crushed the Royals in the first round, winning on the road as the six-seed over the three-seed in Woodbury. On Nov. 6, the Knights lost to Rosemount 35-7, not repeating the upset from last season or last week and falling to the No. 2 team in their quadrant of the bracket. The first half was all Rosemount. The Irish scored three times in the first half to make it 21-0 over the Knights. In the second quarter, the Knights showed signs of life when down 14-0. After a punt, the Irish fumbled on the ensuing drive thanks to forced fumble by defensive back Kyan Beaumont. Beaumont and the Knights took over on their opponent's 24 and drove down inside the Irish 10. A costly fumble coughed up a golden opportunity for the Knights offense to cut the lead in half with the first half time ticking down. The Irish capitalized and scored once more before the break. The second half had as much scoring, but the Knights joined the fray

‘Proactive not reactive’: Planning commission moves forward with ordinance amendments

After being asked 100 questions by Owatonna, Northfield and Pine Island residents about data centers, the Owatonna Planning Commission moved forward with recommending its proposed ordinance amendments, including defining and regulating data centers. “It’s a 0.001% area of what we’re doing,” Community Development Manager Greg Kruschke said about data centers during the open house before Tuesday’s planning commission meeting. “The code was last updated in the ‘80s. There’s been updates through there, but the last major overhaul (was in the 1980s).” Changes to the Zoning Ordinance include cutting about 50 pages, updating zoning districts, adding a shoreland ordinance and modernizing home occupation standards, among others. Data centers were defined as “A facility used for the storage, processing, management, and distribution of digital data and information, consisting of servers, networking equipment and supporting infrastructure such as cooling systems, backup power generation and electrical equipment.” The definition was further broken up to major and minor data centers; major data centers have a capacity threshold of “greater than 5 MW of totaled designed IT load (often expanding to 100+ MW),” while minor data centers have “up to 5 MW of total designed IT load.” During the open house, Planning Specialist Emma Bransford said

Football playoffs: Irish, Cougars advance to quarterfinals

Class 6A teams now playing for trips to U.S. Bank Stadium Rosemount defensive coordinator Parc Williams watched with admiration as the Irish offense plowed through St. Michael-Albertville for yet another first down. “I’m loving this,” he said. With good reason. Rosemount’s offense was giving Williams’ defense an extended break, and it was bleeding the clock in the second half as the Irish finished off a one-sided 35-7 victory in the second round of the Class 6A football playoffs Nov. 6. St. Michael-Albertville (4-6) shut out three of its previous four opponents, but Rosemount (7-3) quickly eliminated that possibility by driving 72 yards in 10 plays – all on the ground – for a touchdown on the game’s first possession. The Irish kept on rolling, gaining 430 yards – 347 on the ground – in reaching the state quarterfinals for the first time since 2023 and 14th time overall. They will play Prior Lake at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, at Maple Grove High School. With Rosemount’s rushing game dominating, that meant the Irish offensive linemen were having a good time. “It’s a great offense to block for,” said senior Max Meger, the Irish’s center. “Of course, it’s fun running down

Candy store owner charged with selling alcohol-infused candies without a license

(Jordan, MN) -- The owner of Minnesota's Largest Candy Store is facing charges after authorities say he was selling liquor-filled candy without a license. Investigators say they got an anonymous tip last summer and discovered the popular attraction in the city of Jordan wasn't licensed to sell alcohol. Agents reportedly bought several alcohol-infused candies before executing a search warrant at the store. According to court documents, owner Robert Wagner knew the store didn't have a liquor license but believed he could continue selling the candy already on hand. Wagner is scheduled to make his next court appearance next month.

Faribault Legion to continue suicide awareness event after previous organizer closes

American Legion Post 43 Commander John Haessig was driving home from HyVee with $300 worth of groceries in the back of his truck. No one knew it then, but the veteran was not in a good state of mind. He planned to get enough groceries to feed his family, then end his life. But as he drove by the Rice County Court House, he saw people gathered around the veteran’s memorial with empty boots all around. He had to know what was going on. At the memorial, Kurt Mansfield was helping with the first Veterans Day event held in Faribault by Operation: 23 to Zero, a nonprofit working to end suicide among veterans and active-duty members of the military. At this event, Mansfield lowered a pair of boots from the steps of the court house and onto the memorial at the bottom of every hour for 23 hours. “I came down here and I sat on that bench and I talked to Kurt for seven hours,” Heassig said. “I stayed for the rest of the night. If it wasn’t for Kurt, I wouldn’t be here. He saved my life.” Heassig said he would stay through the whole night bringing the

Lightning’s Bakken becomes his school’s 1st cross country champion

Eastview senior wins state Class 3A race with late surge Luke Bakken didn’t have to slay Godzilla, just outrun him. Before every cross country season, Eastview boys coach Thomas Sharp asks runners to identify a “Godzilla Goal,” meaning something that seemed so far out of reach that it could only happen in a movie. Then he’d ask them what they thought they needed to do to achieve their lofty goals and encourage them to try. Coming off a 2025 season where he finished 20th in the state Class 3A meet, Bakken’s Godzilla Goal for his senior year could be only one thing – winning the state championship. Then he went out and did it. Using the finishing kick that has now become his trademark, Bakken passed Channing Goodwin of Rosemount and Max Molinaro of Two Rivers to win the boys Class 3A championship Nov. 7 at Majestic Oaks Golf Course. All three ran career-best times. Bakken finished in 15 minutes, 6.9 seconds to Goodwin’s second-place 15:07.5 and Molinaro’s 15:14.8, good for third place. Bakken and Goodwin had the two fastest times in the entire state meet, including runners in the Class 2A and Class 1A races. It was the third
