Prost! Gasthaus Bavarian Hunter to reopen this month

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:13:35 GMT

The Gasthaus Bavarian Hunter restaurant will reopen later this month with the same name, the same decor, the same hours, the same menu and the same 12 taps that serve only German beer.The only thing new is owner Jimmy Martin, who in April bought the German restaurant in Grant from longtime owner Kim Quade. The restaurant was founded in 1966 by Bavarian native Karl Schoene and his wife, Elizabeth; Quade was previously married to Carl Schoene Jr., who died in 2003. The restaurant closed in December 2021.“It’s an honor to have been chosen as the next steward of the Gasthaus,” said Martin, 42, of Lake Elmo. “I intend for it to operate the same as it always has been. It’s important that it remains the same for the community.”Recipes that were on the Gasthaus menu for 50 years will be back, including sauerbraten and schnitzel (10 kinds), schweinshaxe (pork knuckle), and a herring sampler that features pickled herring, mustard herring and herring in apples, onions and seasoning, Martin sai...

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: My GF Wants A VERY Expensive Engagement Ring; Shouldn't She Pay Half?

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma is about engagements and rings. Here's the email. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I want to propose to my girlfriend on our vacation this summer, but I can't afford the ring she wants. She wants this beautiful $3,000 ring. She has shown me this picture for months now. I have been saving, but with our vacation, there is no way I can pay for it. I think if this is the ring she wants, then she needs to pay half on it. She will be the one wearing it, not me. If I have to pay for the whole thing, then I should be picking it out and getting her what I want. Would it be wrong to ask her to pay half for her engagement ring, since she wants an expensive ring? ThanksRayWell, I guess I'm a bit old-fashioned. I like the idea of the person asking picking out and giving the ring. And I don't love the idea of the person getting the ring putting a requirement on it. So I th...

Ask Amy: Siblings Zoom away from family meetings

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:13:35 GMT

Dear Amy: I’m the youngest of three siblings. My two brothers live a couple of states away from our parents, who are in their 80s. I live the farthest away, on the opposite coast.At the beginning of the pandemic, like most families, we connected on Zoom. There were tech hurdles for my parents, but they navigated them as best they could.A couple of times we played games, had virtual parties, or watched funny cartoon clips, but the relatively boring meetings where we exchange small talk seem to be the most popular.For my rapidly aging parents, I think these one-hour monthly meetings are a lifeline. It’s like magic to them to see us all on their laptop.However, also like most families, the desire to continue this has diminished, especially as people are doing more things in person.But we still live very far apart, and I’m increasingly frustrated and sad that they’re unable or unwilling to show up.I’m aware that our parents will not be around forever, and I...

Metro Denver’s peak home selling season not in bloom

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:13:35 GMT

Like waters rushing down from the melting snow in the mountains, new home listings usually pour into the metro Denver market around this time of year. But things are not flowing along like they normally do and the blockage appears to be on the side of sellers.“Traditionally, in the spring selling season, the market sees an increase in both active listings at month-end as well as new listings. The sluggish movement in these categories, however, leaves a lot to be desired,” said Libby Levinson-Katz, in comments included with the latest monthly update from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.There were 4,758 new listings for single-family homes and condos last month, a 6.7% drop from March and a 31% decline from a year earlier.And while the inventory of homes and condos available for sale did rise 2.3% month-over-month to 4,620, that gain is far below the historical average gain of 10.4% between March and April, nowhere close to the off-the-chart 44% gain in inventory ...

Dutch labour union workers strike to force union to better deal

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:13:35 GMT

Employees of the largest labour union in the Netherlands, FNV, on Monday (1 May) said they will go on strike to force the union itself to pay them higher wages.The union workers said their employer had missed a 1 May International Workers' Day ultimatum to increase its wage offer for the coming years.They said this would result in a general strike by FNV staff on Tuesday (2 May), with more strike action to follow if demands are not met."It is painful that we have to go on strike," FNV employee representative Judith Westhoek said. "But FNV staff also has the right to an honest wage deal that is appropriate for these times."The FNV had offered its employees a wage increase of 3 to 7% this year, followed by a 5% bump next year and automatic price compensation with a maximum of 5% from 2025 on.Employees demand full annual compensation for inflation, which jumped to 10% in the Netherlands last year and is expected to be around 3% this year and next.

“You told me you were invited to join the Procrastinators Club,” I said to Cy the Cynic. “Did you accept?”“I did,” Cy replied tersely.“Well, have you been to a meeting?”“I will,” the Cynic said, “when they get around to having one.”They ought to make Cy an officer, if they ever elect any, since he is a pro at procrastination. In a team match, both Souths played at 3NT, and West led a spade. At one table, South won in dummy and led a low heart: three, queen, king. He won the next spade, lost a heart to East’s ace and had 10 tricks.BETTERWhen Cy was declarer, East found a better defense. When Cy led a heart from dummy at Trick Two, East rose with the ace and led the jack of diamonds. If the Cynic had finessed with the queen, he would have gone down, off three diamonds and two hearts.But Cy saw that he didn’t need an immediate finesse. He procrastinated by putting up the ace and leading another heart. W...
