The Rapidan Dam Store reopened at its new, temporary location in Mankato Monday after the original building collapsed during flooding earlier this summer. And the National Park Service ranger who died responding to a call at Voyageurs National Park on Sunday has been identified. 55-year-old Kevin Grossheim was on Namakan Lake rescuing three stranded boaters when his boat capsized in high wind and rough water and Grossheim failed to surface. His body was later recovered from the lake.

This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
