Highway 610 renamed in honor of Melissa and Mark Hortman

Members of the Hortman family joined state lawmakers and Gov. Tim Walz for the unveiling of new signage designating Highway 610 as Hortman Memorial Highway — in honor of House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. The highway runs through the district Hortman served, which encompasses parts of Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids and Champlin. The Hortmans’ children, Colin and Sophie, were among the family members who were at the Nov. 5 dedication in Brooklyn Park. “I hope that every time someone drives down Highway 610 and sees Melissa and Mark’s names, they’ll remember the lives they lived, the people they loved, and all they gave to Minnesota,” Walz wrote in a statement. At the ceremony, Walz noted Speaker Emerita Hortman played a "pivotal role" in securing funding for Highway 610. The new name was made official during the most recent legislative session, when Minnesota lawmakers tasked the transportation commissioner with adopting “a suitable design” to display on signage along the thoroughfare. Sen. John Hoffman sponsored the legislation to rename the highway, along with Rep. Erin Koegel. Hoffman spoke at the Nov. 5 dedication, where he highlighted Hortman's various contributions to the communities the highway passes through. "On the

Brooklyn Park felon federally sentenced for possessing a firearm

United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen announced that Antonio Depries Arnold, 34, of Brooklyn Park, was sentenced to 71 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Arnold was sentenced before U.S. District Judge Laura M. Provinzino on Nov. 5, and he previously pleaded guilty on April 9. According to court documents, in January 2025, law enforcement began investigating Arnold after his name was found as a contact in a phone that was a part of an ongoing narcotics investigation. Agents began surveilling Arnold in February 2025, and when they observed him getting out of his vehicle, they conducted a swab of the driver’s door, and it tested positive for morphine. Agents also swabbed several items that were recovered from Arnold’s trash on April 15, 2025, and the items tested positive for morphine, cocaine, and oxycodone. On April 21, 2025, agents executed a search warrant at Arnold’s residence. As they approached Arnold, agents saw the defendant outside his residence, told him to get on the ground, and took him into custody. On the ground several feet away from the defendant, agents located a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol. The defendant admitted to officers that the pistol belonged

Crotteau, Murfin to make state cross country debut for Wolverines

VIRGINIA—Two Rock Ridge sophomores are set to make their state cross country debut today at the Class AA State Championships held at the Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake. On the boys side, Bryce Crotteau will represent the Wolverines after taking seventh at sections and claiming the third individual qualifying spot. For the girls, Mylah Murfin earned a state berth, taking ninth and claiming the sixth and final individual qualifying spot. For Crotteau, earning a trip to state was a bit of a shock for the sophomore considering where he was coming into the season. “I didn’t have as much training as I wanted,” Crotteau said. “I didn’t have a good plan this summer and really the first few meets of the season didn’t go well at all.” Eventually, Crotteau managed to turn things on and found a path that would lead him to state. “I started following a plan and I guess it worked. My race strategy changed a bit. You see the same people at most meets so I started chasing one person. Then I’d pass them and then find another person to chase. Keep doing that and eventually you’re making it to state.” Wolverines coach Chris

Farber, Michels win Zimmerman council seats; 13-vote margin could lead to recount

Larry Farber and Karen Michels will fill two seats on the Zimmerman City Council, but the outcome of the second seat could face another review after Michels edged Dave Earenfight by just 13 votes. According to the reported results, Farber led the three-candidate field with 1,144 votes, or 33.70%. Michels received 1,113 votes (32.78%), while Earenfight finished with 1,100 votes (32.40%). There were 38 write-in votes. All eight precincts reported, with 100% of precincts reporting in the results posted by the Minnesota Secretary of State. The city is reviewing Minnesota’s election recount provisions to determine whether the 13-vote margin qualifies for a publicly funded recount. According to the Sherburne County Auditor/Treasurer, to have a publicly funded recount the difference must be less than one-quarter of 1 percent of the total votes counted for that office. “There were 3,395 votes cast for this office,” Zimmerman City Clerk Kary Tillman said. “If the math is correct, .25% would be less than 8 votes for a publicly funded recount of the Zimmerman City Council election.” Under that interpretation, a recount requested by a candidate would be considered discretionary and would have to be requested in writing and funded by the candidate. Earenfight said

ISD 728 weighs facility options after referendum defeat

Unofficial results from all 34 precincts showed 20,925 voters, or 55.46%, opposed the proposal, compared with 16,807 voters, or 44.54%, who supported it. The 4,118-vote margin left the district facing the challenge of addressing needs that Superintendent Andy Almos says remain even though the proposal did not receive enough support to move forward. “While we are disappointed, we respect the voters’ decision,” Almos said in a written response to the Star News. “We now need to listen carefully, understand the concerns that shaped the outcome, determine a path forward, and understand the tradeoffs of not moving this proposal.” Almos said he was encouraged by the community’s engagement and the questions raised during the district’s information process. He was hopeful heading into Election Day but did not take the outcome for granted. The result, he said, does not necessarily indicate which parts of the proposal voters opposed or what concerns ultimately determined the outcome. “It tells us this particular proposal did not receive enough support,” he said. “The result alone does not tell us whether the deciding concern was cost, the combination of projects, timing or something else.” The proposal included up to $350 million in bonds and a 10-year capital

Memorial golf tournament raises $8,000 for Open Doors for Youth

Sept. 12 was a perfect day for golf and a meaningful day to honor the memory of Noelle M. Anderson at the 27th annual Noelle M. Anderson Memorial Golf Tournament. More than 100 golfers gathered at Elk River Golf Course, raising $8,000 for Open Doors for Youth, this year’s beneficiary. Elliott and Chris Anderson presented the donation to Cindy Ley, executive director of Open Doors for Youth, which operates a drop-in center for youth ages 16-24 experiencing homelessness or housing instability. The organization recently opened The Next Door, a transitional housing program that provides a safe, supportive home for youth ages 18-24. In past years, tournament proceeds often funded scholarships for local high school students. Last year, the Andersons shifted to directing all funds raised to Open Doors for Youth to support the essential resources and services it provides to local youth. “We are thrilled that these funds can go directly to youth in need in our community,” Chris Anderson said.
