• Minnesota expert warns against wasting water amid drought: "Our water source is not a bottomless pit" (cbsnews.com) — Burnsville is already tightening water use as Minnesota faces its worst drought in five years, with most of the state abnormally dry or worse. A state climatologist urges residents to conserve now with simple steps like shorter showers and turning off taps, stressing that local water supplies are limited and it will take prolonged heavy rain to ease conditions. 
• Youthful year provides new path for high achievement (hometownsource.com) — Burnsville's football team opens Armstrong's 2025 schedule on Thursday, Sept. 3, in a 7 p.m. road matchup that will test a young Falcons roster. Armstrong returns key playmakers but is replacing many graduated seniors and still sorting out its quarterback situation, hoping depth at running back and strong leadership can keep its section-title ambitions alive.
