Skip The Flight To Munich, Because This Minnesota Tavern Serves Schnitzel Straight Out Of Bavaria

A plane ticket to Germany costs a small fortune, and the trip takes most of a day. Food-loving Minnesotans have a much shorter route to a real Bavarian supper. Tucked into a pine forest just outside Stillwater, one family-style tavern has been dishing up schnitzel, accordion tunes, and old-world hospitality for crowds that keep coming back. There are even goats out back.

Rangers football finally breaks through

The Forest Lake football team made some history last week in their 29-14 trouncing of Eagan in a Class 6A second-round game played at home on Friday, Oct. 6, as the Rangers earned their second berth in the state playoffs in program history and their first in over three decades. What makes this year’s state berth especially sweet was that it came after second-round playoff losses in each of the past four seasons. “It’s like a monkey off our back,” head coach Brad Beeskow said. “We’ve had four straight years where we’ve reached this point and felt we had teams good enough to get to the state tournament, and not quite getting there. This year, the guys had a look in their eyes — all the adversity that we went through, with injuries and tough losses. I thought everybody picked up the slack and did an amazing job to get us to this point. I’m proud of them.” The last time Forest Lake advanced to the state quarterfinals was 35 years ago in 1991. “An unreal feeling,” senior defensive back Brooks Rohne said of going to state. “Since youth football we’ve been working for that.” Fellow senior defensive back Ndifor

Forest Lake girls cross country finishes sixth at state

When the start of the state cross country meet was delayed 20 minutes, Forest Lake’s three seniors were warming up. Coach John Fick said the younger girls followed them, continuing their preparations while they waited to race. They “didn’t even flinch” Fick said of the delay. Once the race began, less than 39 seconds separated the Rangers’ first five finishers. Forest Lake placed sixth among 16 teams with 186 points at the Class AAA State Championship on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake, with freshman Hazel Hushagen leading a scoring group that included three seniors and an eighth-grader. “I could not have expected more out of them,” Fick said. “Sixth place is outstanding.” Hushagen finished 34th overall, covering the 5,000-meter course in 18 minutes, 55.6 seconds. She brought two years of state-meet experience into her freshman season. Fick said she ran on Forest Lake’s state runner-up team in 2024 and its fourth-place team in 2025. “For a ninth grader, she’s pretty experienced,” Fick said. Fick describes Hushagen as a quiet runner who goes about her work without complaints. Senior Molly McCarthy followed Hushagen in 51st place at 19:09.2. Senior Elsa Swenson was 61st in 19:16.9,

Veterans set their sights on new Isanti County park

Jared Johnson took part in the inaugural veterans hunt that took place at Phillip G. Nyman Park in Isanti County late last month. Johnson did not bag a deer — and that’s why he considered the hunt a success, not a failure. “As I was getting ready to hunt, several of my kids told me that they’d love the opportunity to come with me and sit in the blind during this hunt,” Johnson wrote in a letter to the organizers of the event. “After getting an attendant approved, I set up a schedule to bring out one kid at a time for the evening and morning hunts over the three-day period. But when I harvested a deer, the hunt would be over, and those who didn’t get a chance to come with would have to wait until next year.” So when Johnson did not collect a deer, he received something more important: An opportunity to spend time with Adelya, Ellianna, Sherman and Amira Johnson. “Being selected for this hunt afforded me the opportunity to take four of my kids out with me to the blind that I was slotted for,” Johnson wrote. “Each time I went out, I was able

Anoka-Hennepin Schools sees enrollment decline

Enrollment is down at Anoka-Hennepin Schools. According to the district’s Oct. 1 report, kindergarten through 12th grade saw a decrease of 367 students from last year compared to their projected decrease of only seven students. Although enrollment fluctuates as the school year progresses, Oct. 1 enrollment numbers help determine school staffing needs and are reported to the state to determine funding received for the following year. This year, the K-12 population is 36,051, which is 274 less students than reported in 2020 near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.. “This is our second year of enrollments coming underneath projections, and that’s a trend that we’re anticipating for upcoming years as well,” said Nick Herman, the district’s data integration manager. Many school districts in the county have attributed a downward trend in kindergarten enrollment to lower birth rates across the state, which was predicted by the state demographer in a 2024 report. “We have fifth grade classes going to middle school that are relatively large, and they are not being replaced by kindergarten and they’re not being fully replaced by growth throughout from K to five,” Herman said. “Last year was a record low for kindergarten, and we came in four
