• Longtime Firefighter Retires, but the Knowledge He Shared Remains (hernandosun.com) — Brooksville and Hernando County are saying thank you to firefighter and captain Daniel Papa, who retired this month after more than three decades of service and mentorship. Colleagues credit his leadership and teaching—from Brooksville Fire Department shifts to Pasco-Hernando State College classes—with shaping generations of local firefighters and paramedics who will continue protecting the community. 
• Villager making risky pass dies at scene of head-on collision (villages-news.com) — Two women from Brooksville suffered minor injuries in a deadly three-vehicle crash on State Road 39 in Hillsborough County that killed two other people, including a Villager making a risky pass.
