ICE AND COLD — City of Rome crews and lay out the red and blue lines as well as several graphics as they begin to make ice at the J.F. Kennedy Civic Arena, 500 W. Embargo St., on Monday afternoon. After getting the lines and graphics in place, the crews spray multiple thin layers of water on the frozen floor until they get a sufficient buildup of ice. Once the ice is thick enough and after it is groomed with a Zamboni, the rink will be ready for local skaters and hockey players to begin their seasons. The rink is home to the Rome Grizzlies Youth Hockey organization, the Rome Free Academy hockey team and the Rome Figure Skating club. Visit the city’s website, www.romenewyork.com, for the arena schedule, including public skating times and costs.
