Historically Speaking: Yearbooks, buses and consolidation reshape Monticello schools

This is Part 11 of a series marking 170 years since Monticello’s first school opened Sept. 15, 1856. Recent installments followed the school’s 1928 expansion and traced the early history of Monticello’s longtime Redmen name. Continuing from last week, the Class of 1943 matched the Class of 1938 with 36 graduates. That year also brought the first Monticello school yearbook since 1908. The opening pages introduced the publication: “The Pow Wow 1943 Vol. I; Published Biannually By The Juniors And Seniors Of Monticello High School Monticello, Minnesota.” The staff included Richard Kiebel, editor-in-chief; Shirley McPherson, assistant editor; Evan Merz Jr., business manager; Conrad Johnson, advertising manager; Marvel Miller, snapshot editor; Bud Anderson and Willard Anderson, sports; Carolyn Lungwitz, music editor; George Ferguson, class editor; Josephine Albers, artist; Lois Burkholder, activities editor; and Gladys Robeck, Maxine Trunnell and Mariann Miller, typists. The staff explained the purpose of its new publication in the preface: “In every community there is one institution that interests all of the people. That institution is the school. It is the purpose of this publication to portray pictorially and verbally the activities of our school. We hope that this book will serve as a record and a reminder

For new Brazilian steakhouse, Maple Grove location is a homecoming

Bullvino’s Brazilian Steakhouse will soon be opening its fourth location and occupying the former Golden Corral site in Maple Grove, at 13603 Grove Drive. The restaurant has other locations in St. Paul, Bloomington and Bolingbrook, Illinois. There are also plenty of Minnesota and Maple Grove connections. Blake Hagert, owner/partner with Bullvino’s, said the restaurant is a family-owned and locally-owned Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, rooted in the gaucho tradition of southern Brazil. “Our founder, Marcio de Morais, was born in Rio Grande do Sul, the birthplace of gaucho culture, and opened our first restaurant in St. Paul in 2019 to bring that tradition to Minnesota," he said. “The name says what we're about. ‘Bull’ is for the premium cuts we hand select, and ‘Vinos’ is for the wine tradition of South America.” Dinner is churrasco style, the way it's done in Brazil. “Our gauchos fire roast up to 21 cuts over open flame, bring them to your table on the skewer and carve them right in front of you. That includes picanha, the signature cut of Brazilian churrasco,” Hagert said. He noted that each diner gets a two-sided medallion. One side will let the gauchos keep bringing food and the red

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

Maple Grove hopes for grant for 82nd Avenue/Main Street project

At its Nov. 2 meeting, the Maple Grove City Council approved support of the city’s Local Road Improvement Program grant application for funding for the 82nd Avenue and Main Street Area Rehabilitation Project. In May 2025, the council initially approved improvements to Main Street between Lakeview Drive and Weaver Lake Road, Lakeview Drive and 82nd Avenue (near Life Time and the Maple Grove Library). These plans were paused after developments at the Maple Grove Community Center and a possible performing arts center area. A feasibility report was ordered in February. The plans for the area includes new bituminous roadways, roundabouts at Main Street and 82nd Avenue and Main Street and Lakeview Drive, walking paths along the roadways, and new landscaping. These improvements would help with future traffic flows from the Maple Grove Community Center’s expansion and the Maple Grove Performing Arts Center located in the road project area. Proposed construction costs for the project area estimated at $5.95 million. City staff is looking to apply for $1.5 million in MnDOT 2026 Local Road Improvement Program grant funds to help pay for the project. According to city staff, “The grant program provides funding assistance to local agencies for constructing or reconstructing

Shockman and Rueter finish seasons on state stage

Audi Shockman tried to block out the crowd before the gun sounded. She took deep breaths and thought about how she had made it to the state cross-country meet in the first place. The Braham freshman was nervous, grateful and surrounded by runners and spectators at Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake. By the time her race was over on Saturday, she had completed a first for her school and found a crowd of her own waiting to celebrate. Shockman finished 73rd in the Class A girls race in 20 minutes, 26 seconds. North Branch sophomore Caleb Rueter also closed his season at state, placing 32nd in the Class AA boys race with a personal-best time of 16:11.0. The two underclassmen left with experiences to build on next fall. For Shockman, that meant navigating the largest stage of her season. Rueter followed a race plan he and coach Norm Nagel had discussed while walking the course the day before. Shockman is the first Shockman became the first Braham runner, boy or girl, to compete at the Minnesota State High School League state cross-country meet, according to head coach Ray Abraham and coach Eddie Cease. The milestone was still sinking

Anonymous donor gives $5,000 to help Monticello Middle School students

MONTICELLO — An anonymous donor is helping ensure that financial hardship doesn’t prevent Monticello Middle School students from having the essentials they need or participating in school activities. The Monticello School Board unanimously accepted a $5,000 donation designated for middle school students in need during its Nov. 2 meeting. The money will primarily help cover basic necessities, including clothing, essential school supplies and equipment. It will also help offset costs for families so students can participate in field trips and grade-level activities. According to the district, the donation comes from a longtime supporter who has made similar contributions in the past. “The donor met with our Student Center team this fall to learn more about current student needs. They have generously provided similar donations in the past,” Monticello Middle School Principal Jeff Scherber said. “During our meeting, the team shared how previous funds were used and highlighted the positive impact on our students. We are deeply grateful to have community members who are so committed to supporting our schools and helping families overcome basic needs barriers.” The money will be managed through a dedicated account alongside other student-support grants. Families and students who need assistance can contact school counselors directly,
