Today's riddle: What is clean when it is black and dirty when it is white? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Residents blast leaders for failing to tackle Somali gang chaos and suggesting 'soccer' will fix it (newsbreak.com) — Edina residents packed City Hall this week, demanding stronger action and clearer communication after recent shootings at Yancey Park and Our Lady of Grace Church rattled the community. Police detailed ongoing investigations and links to Somali youth, while neighbors described frightened children, disrupted routines, and frustration with leaders' responses, as similar incidents in Bloomington and Eden Prairie add to regional concern.
• Rotary Club of Edina donates 2 AEDs for city parks (hometownsource.com) — Edina parks just became safer with new outdoor AED SaveStations now operating at Centennial Lakes Park and Courtney Fields, joining Pamela Park's unit installed in 2024. Funded by the Rotary Club of Edina, the devices automatically alert 911 when removed, and officials urge residents to call 911, start CPR, and use the AED quickly during cardiac emergencies.
• Edina's Connor Johnson shows promise each week (hometownsource.com) — Edina sports fans have a rising star in sophomore receiver Connor Johnson, who has quickly become a key target in the Hornets' passing game. After switching from quarterback, he's delivered big plays, including a standout homecoming performance, and will soon join the Edina varsity basketball squad, giving local fans another reason to watch this multi-sport talent.
