City staff and the Edina Hockey Association say they're scrambling to relocate skaters and expand ice time on remaining sheets while the $45 million renovation continues. Residents can track construction progress and updates through the Better Together Edina website.
   

• One year after Annunciation Catholic school shooting, Archbishop Hebda calls on faithful to be 'beacons of light' (americamagazine.org) — Edina residents recently joined more than 300 people at a gathering reflecting on last year's tragic shooting at Annunciation School and Church in Minneapolis, where Archbishop Hebda urged attendees to be "beacons of light." As the one-year mark approaches, he's encouraging people across the Twin Cities to honor the victims through prayer and acts of service, including a Minneapolis remembrance event at Pearl Park. His message stresses choosing peace and community support even amid ongoing grief.
