Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Talking trash in Kissimmee: Underground refuse and recycling systems a learning process (aroundosceola.com) — Kissimmee's underground trash and recycling containers, in place since 2016, are drawing statewide attention as city and county managers visit to see how the system works. City staff help build the specialized trucks, and several downtown sites plus a new apartment complex already use the cleaner, space-saving containers that reduce odors and improve pedestrian access.
• Kissimmee triple-murder suspect accused of faking psychiatric symptoms (fox35orlando.com) — Kissimmee readers are watching closely as psychiatric evaluations find triple-murder suspect Ahmad Jihad Bojeh competent to stand trial in the shooting deaths of three visiting tourists. Doctors say he exaggerated symptoms to avoid prosecution, and a judge has unsealed the reports ahead of a key competency hearing that will determine whether the high-profile Kissimmee case moves forward to trial.
• Remembering the fallen: Kissimmee police chief reflects on 25 years since 9/11 (baynews9.com) — Kissimmee Police Chief Charles Broadway is sharing how his experience as an NYPD officer responding to 9/11 still shapes how he leads and supports officers in Kissimmee today. He emphasizes mental health, remembrance events, and honoring fallen first responders, and will speak at Valencia College's School of Public Safety about lessons from Ground Zero and the importance of caring for those who serve.
