📰 News we're reading
1. Boys hockey: Givon Storkson helps Stoughton snap losing streak (stoughtonnews.com) — Stoughton hockey fans finally have something to cheer about as the Vikings snapped a 26-game losing streak with an 8-3 win over Oshkosh at the Mandt Community Center. Sophomore forward Givon Storkson exploded for four goals, while several other Stoughton underclassmen chipped in scoring and assists during a dominant third period that could signal a turning point for the young team. 
2. Maine Dish: Celebrating our traditions with apple ginger coffee cake (ellsworthamerican.com) — Stoughton gets a fun historical shout-out here as the birthplace of the modern coffee break, thanks to Norwegian immigrant women working in local tobacco warehouses in the early 1900s. The piece then dives into the European roots of coffee-and-cake traditions and shares an apple ginger coffee cake idea for readers who love a sweet treat with their morning cup.
3. Patricia A. (Cox) Theiler (themonroetimes.com) — Stoughton readers are connected to this loss through Patricia Theiler’s granddaughter, Kelly Tinsman, who lives in Stoughton with her family. Patricia, 96, passed away December 13 and is remembered by children, grandchildren, and many great- and great-great-grandchildren across Browntown, Monroe, Aurora, and Stoughton; honoring her wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral.
4. Udell statement on Democratic bills (stoughtonnews.com) — If you live in Stoughton, your Assembly representative Randy Udell is backing a new Democratic package of bills on paid medical leave, school funding, agriculture, and affordability. He says the proposals would boost special education reimbursements, support farmers, and offer more security for workers, even as Democrats remain the minority party in the Legislature.
