The upgrade finishes an $11 million overhaul of the entire center and keeps this key revenue‑generating hub for youth hockey and skating programs competitive, while also supporting the Kirkwood Parks Foundation through a project‑linked donation.
   

• The guy behind the guyknowballogist: Q&A with a viral sensation (thekirkwoodcall.com) — A Kirkwood-based comedy creator known as Professor Sendy has turned his quirky "wombo" slang videos into a full‑time career, building a huge online following while still living suburban‑dad life. In this candid Q&A, he talks about sudden fame, connecting with fans, and using humor to lift people's spirits, while readers are reminded they can support Kirkwood High School's student journalists who produced the story.
   

• In England, fake Norfolk council tax letters direct QR code payments to scam site (thecooldown.com) — A new warning about fake council tax letters in England includes a reminder of similar tactics used in Kirkwood, where police say scammers have directed residents to Bitcoin ATMs after urgent payment demands.
