Today's riddle: What do you call cows dancing in the dark 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Are Pinellas school closures a done deal? Parents are pushing back (tampabay.com) — Families in Tarpon Springs are mobilizing as the school district considers turning Tarpon Springs Middle into a K‑8 fundamental school, which would end neighborhood middle school access and bus service for many local students. Parents, the mayor, and community leaders are pressing the school board for alternatives before an October 13 vote, arguing the plan could displace kids and weaken the town's close-knit character.
• Lost Tarpon Springs religious painting discovered in Greece after 103 years (fox13news.com) — Tarpon Springs residents may soon see a long-lost St. Nicholas icon return to St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral, after Mayor John Koulianos located the century-old painting in Aegina, Greece. Church leaders in both countries must still approve its return, which city officials hope to time with January's Epiphany celebrations and a new sister city agreement that highlights Tarpon Springs' deep Greek heritage.
• Tomasz Kosowski trial: Evidence reveals online searches before attorney death (fox13news.com) — Evidence in the ongoing murder trial of Dr. Tomasz Kosowski includes surveillance and DNA linking a truck's trip back to his Tarpon Springs home and blood reportedly found in his Tarpon Springs garage. Investigators also detailed months of online searches about the victim, his family, and a paralyzing drug, as prosecutors seek the death penalty in this high-profile Pinellas County case.
