MILLE LACS/SHERBURNE — Election Day was one to remember this year as millions of voters made their voices heard at the polls. Nationally, a blue wave swept the country as Democratic candidates were elected at an unprecedented rate.

Below is an overview of how the people of Mille Lacs and Sherburne counties voted in local federal and state races. U.S. Representative District 6 In District 6, Republican incumbent Tom Emmer faced-off against democratic-Farmer-Laborer candidate Doug Chapin for the two-year term.

Every Holiday Season, Minnesotans Line Up At Nelson’s Cheese & Deli? No, At Bergstrom’s Bakery? Pick Lindstrom’s Kaffe

Swedish donuts. Swedish almond cookies. A bag of cinnamon toast. That lineup alone made me stop scrolling and start planning a drive. The bakery sits in a Minnesota town famous for a water tower painted like a giant teapot. The donuts are made fresh every morning, and the Scandinavian varieties get special attention from fans.

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

Elks shut out by Monticello in Section 7-5A championship

The No. 2-seeded Elk River football team saw its season come to an end with a 23-0 loss to top-seeded Monticello in the Section 7-5A championship Friday, Nov. 6, in Monticello. In a game in which both teams controlled the ball for extended stretches and scoring opportunities were limited, two Elk River turnovers proved costly against a talented Monticello team. The shutout was Elk River’s first in more than 14 years, dating back to a September 2012 loss to Totino-Grace. Monticello opened the scoring on its first possession, marching 74 yards in 12 plays before Max Lofgren scored on a 13-yard run with 6:26 remaining in the first quarter. Carson Deibele ran in the two-point conversion to give the Magic an 8-0 lead. Elk River responded with a promising drive, moving 51 yards in 12 plays to the Monticello 21-yard line as the first quarter ended. However, a fumble on the first play of the second quarter ended the threat, giving the Magic possession at its own 13. Monticello capitalized, driving 87 yards in 10 plays and scoring on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Deibele to Johnny Moore with 7:12 remaining in the half. Deibele and Moore connected again on

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,

Quality care opportunities for local service members

MILACA — For the men and women who have served our country, access to quality health care is important. Mille Lacs Health System (MLHS) is proud to help local veterans receive the care they need, close to the communities they call home. As a participating provider in the Veterans Affairs (VA) Community Care Network, MLHS can provide a variety of healthcare services to eligible veterans through their VA benefits. This means veterans may not always need to travel to a VA medical center for appointments, specialty services or other healthcare needs. The VA Community Care Network connects eligible veterans with participating healthcare providers in their own communities. Veterans may qualify when a VA facility is too far away, a needed service is unavailable, appointment wait times exceed established standards, or community care is determined to be in their best medical interest. At MLHS, veterans may be able to access services such as primary care, orthopedics, cardiology, surgery, imaging, laboratory services, rehabilitation and other specialty care depending on their individual VA authorization. For veterans interested in receiving care at MLHS through their VA benefits, the process typically begins with their VA primary care provider. The VA care team can request a
