Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Three Eagan residents honored as 'heroes' for saving a life (hometownsource.com) — Three Eagan residents were formally honored by the Eagan Police Department and City Council for pulling a trapped passenger from a burning car near Lone Oak Road and I‑35E on June 29. The men, strangers before that night, used debris to break a window and rescue the victim, who remains hospitalized, and city leaders praised their courage while pledging continued support for the injured man's family.
2. Jonathan Harris Rejoins Vikings Practice Squad (statenews.net) — The Vikings, based at their Eagan headquarters, have re-signed veteran defensive lineman Jonathan Harris to the practice squad, marking his third stint with the team. The move follows San Francisco signing Naquan Jones off Minnesota's practice squad, and comes as the Vikings finalize depth ahead of the 2026 season.
3. Minnesota's most vulnerable citizens are collateral damage in federal crackdown on Medicaid program (minnpost.com) — Minnesota's aggressive Medicaid anti-fraud push is delaying payments and authorizations for disability and autism services, and an Eagan‑based provider says some approvals now take up to two months. Families across the metro, including Bloomington and Red Wing, report lost or delayed care, while providers take out loans, lose staff, and warn that vulnerable Minnesotans could permanently lose critical supports if backlogs and freezes continue.
4. Fewer skipped meals, less stigma (hometownsource.com) — Minnesota's universal free school meals program is boosting participation and easing family budgets, including in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district that serves many Eagan students. Local nutrition staff are using student feedback to add items like ramen bowls, fresh-baked croissants, and local apples, while also grappling with longer lunch lines and rising statewide costs.
