Teenage Abuse on Adults

Usually you hear about adults abusing younger people, but that was not the case in Albert Lea Minnesota. At Good Samaritan Society nursing home, there have been reports of abuse. About fifty angry people showed up at the company meeting Thursday night, criticizing the management for the handling of the abuse cases. Among this meeting was Jan Reshetar. Reshetar's mother in law was one of the the victims in the abuse cases. Jan Reshetar's mother in law said tried to tell people about the abuse but no one listened, most people just thought it was the Alzheimer's sun downers that was making her say all these crazy things, but she was not alone. The reports filed last week say that six teenage aides taunted residents with advanced dementia. The aides were have said to hit, poke breasts and genitals, and stuck fingers inside of residents noses and mouths to keep them from screaming and yelling. "Somebody needs to stick up for our moms and grandparents." This is a statement that Jan Reshetar will live by for the rest of her life.

Don't Skate to Soon

A man was found dead on sunday after falling through a lake. The man had been skating on lake when it broke. Emergency crews located an adult male underwater about 600 yards from shore. Fire crews attempted to resuscitate the unconscious man what had been transported to North Memorial Hospital. This is where the man had later died. Hennepin county officials said the man had recently moved to the twin cities from another state. The man was found wearing ice skates and a camera around his neck. Officials are unclear on long the man was underwater. 
This goes to show you that you can never be to safe when skating on ponds and lakes. Make sure to check and see if the ice is thick enough to stand on. Here is a good sight for measures one should follow on making sure a lake or pond is safe for walking or skating on.

Doggy Drug Bust

Never have drugs been found at Minnesota's Chaska High-school before. That is, up until November 21. The random search turned up six students vehicles that had marijuana or other contraband. It was the first time the parking lot had ever been searched before. This was a major finding for the school, and it was all thanks to a dog. The K-9 was a big help in the bust. 
The school sent a letter to school staff stating that there was no reason for the search. The school just wanted a safe, drug free environment. Not only is the high-school getting searched, so are both the middle schools in Chaska. Though they were both found to be drug free, the K-9 will keep sniffing. After this incident, the Chaska school district is going to be safe, rather than sorry.

Minnesota Loses an Avalanche of a game

The Minnesota Wild faced off against the Colorado Avalanche. It was a close game up until midway through the second period. The wild were leading 3 to 2 with two goals from Pierre-Marc Bouchard. The third from red hot Mikko Koivu. After this the wild tied a team record with four goals in the second period. The game ended up to be Colorad with six goals and Minnesota with five. It is the first time the Minnesota Wild lost when scoring five or more goals. It was also the fifth time in franchise history that the wild let in six goals. This was a very unusual game, considering the Minnesota Wild usually have extremely good defense . Even though the Wild lost, they learned a good lesson. They learned that you can never play with a lack of focus. If you are not in the game, the coach will make sure you are taken out.
