Today's riddle: Why are crows so alert and curious? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Eden Prairie man remembers brother - a maintenance manager and 9/11 hero (hometownsource.com) — Edina residents may appreciate that local police officers and city staff joined "Joseph's Crew" in a Twin Cities Tunnel to Towers 5K, supporting an Edina City Hall receptionist whose husband died as a 9/11 hero. The story centers on Eden Prairie's Anthony Amatuccio remembering his brother Joseph's bravery at the World Trade Center and explains how their family keeps his legacy alive through this annual fundraiser.
• New program connecting Minnesota high schoolers to skilled trade jobs hopes to close industry gap (kstp.com) — Edina students enrolled in Edina Virtual Pathways can join a new Dunwoody Immersive program this fall that uses virtual reality and game-style lessons to explore skilled trades careers while earning college credit. The pilot, also running in several nearby districts, aims to ease Minnesota's growing shortage of electricians, mechanics, and other trades workers by letting teens sample hands-on career paths without leaving their school building.
• Strictly x Strib Varsity Football Tour: Wayzata routs defending champion Edina (startribune.com) — Edina football fans saw the defending champions stumble as Wayzata dominated them 38–14, powered by a smothering defense and several big offensive plays. The game, part of a statewide "Strictly x Strib" tour, highlighted Gophers recruit Eli Diane and a rejuvenated Wayzata program, while giving Edina a clear sense of the competition they'll face this season.
