Today's riddle: What did one strawberry say to the other strawberry? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Mosquito-borne dengue fever detected in Pinellas (stpetecatalyst.com) — Palm Harbor is at the center of Pinellas County's response to two locally acquired dengue fever cases, with mosquito control crews increasing inspections and truck fogging in local neighborhoods. Residents are urged to dump standing water, use EPA-approved repellents, and cover up outdoors to reduce bites. Health officials say most dengue cases are mild but want locals alert to symptoms and seeking care if ill.
• Tampa man charged with child abuse after giving teen bloody nose on golf course: affidavit (wfla.com) — A teen golfer was allegedly assaulted at Palm Harbor's Lansbrook Golf Club after an argument over slow play, leaving him with a bloody nose and neck marks. Deputies say a 50-year-old Tampa man rammed the boy's cart, threw him down, and hit him, leading to a felony child abuse charge and a night in Pinellas County Jail. The case highlights safety concerns even in everyday recreational spots.
• One month later: Displaced senior celebrates 94th birthday in new home after Aviata roof collapse (tampabay28.com) — A Bradenton senior displaced by a July roof collapse was briefly relocated to Palm Harbor before a friend secured him a new home where he just turned 94. The piece focuses on his improved quality of life, ongoing questions about the collapse investigation, and concerns over safety oversight for vulnerable seniors. Palm Harbor appears mainly as a temporary evacuation location.
