1. Manasota Beach Road expansion opponents get their day in court - WSLR+Fogartyville (wslr.org) — Englewood residents living along a rural dirt stretch of Manasota Beach Road are fighting plans to turn it into a major connector between River Road and Englewood Road, and one neighbor will challenge a key water-management permit in court this month. Locals worry the Wellen Park-linked extension, pitched as a hurricane route, could instead bring flooding and heavy traffic through their community. 
2. PREP VOLLEYBALL: Lemon Bay handles Imagine in straight sets (yoursun.com) — Englewood volleyball fans saw Lemon Bay sweep Imagine School at home, winning in straight sets after shaking off a late push in the third game. The Manta Rays, now 4-6, leaned on strong serving from players like Lily Scheiber and Kylie Jones as they tune up in Wesley Chapel for a challenging postseason run.
3. Humane Society celebrates 1,500 adoptions this year (yoursun.com) — Englewood's Suncoast Humane Society has reached 1,500 pet adoptions this year, a 25% jump that staff say effectively opens space to save another 1,500 animals. Local residents are reminded that every adoption from the Worth Avenue campus helps both the pet going home and the next animal waiting for safety and care.
4. Adding vibrancy to capture Florida's look (yoursun.com) — An Englewood artist who relocated from New Hampshire is bringing bold oil and acrylic paintings inspired by Florida's colors to local homes and galleries. She's active with the Artist Alliance of Lemon Bay, shares design ideas with Englewood customers, and continues to evolve her work, from Florida birds to portraits, in her home studio.
