1. Football: Ponies fall short against fourth-ranked Shakopee (hometownsource.com) — Stillwater's Ponies football team fell 22-9 to fourth-ranked Shakopee, showing a tough defense but ongoing struggles on offense and special teams. Coach Beau LaBore says the early schedule is about building toward Metro East play, and attention now turns to a homecoming matchup against Mounds View at Stillwater Area High School, where the Ponies hope to continue their recent dominance in the series.
2. Levy likely to have little impact on homeowners, district says (hometownsource.com) — Stillwater Area Public Schools have approved a levy that's nearly 3% higher, yet most homeowners in the district are expected to see a slight decrease or only a small change in their property tax bills. District officials explain that an expanded tax base and levy structure mean an average $550,000 home could see about a $23 reduction, with chances to ask questions at a December truth-in-taxation meeting.
3. Parish community dinners: Catholics and their neighbors share food, faith, fellowship (thecatholicspirit.com) — Stillwater's St. Michael and St. Mary parish hosts a free community dinner every third Saturday, drawing about 200 neighbors for a hot meal and unhurried fellowship. The article also spotlights similar parish meal programs across the Twin Cities, showing how churches are tackling food insecurity and loneliness with regular dinners, takeout meals, and home-delivered dishes.
