📰 News we're reading
• Pinellas Football Week 6: Clearwater Keeps Rolling (ngscsports.com) — Dunedin High's football team fell 24-8 to Tarpon Springs in Week 6, dropping the Falcons to 1-4 and extending their losing streak to four games. The roundup also notes that Largo, coming off two straight losses, will face Dunedin next, setting up an important chance for the Falcons to reset their season. 
• Memorial bench swept away during Hurricane Helene two years ago found in Bermuda (baynews9.com) — A memorial bench dedicated to Medhat "Mike" Sadiku that was torn from the Dunedin Causeway during Hurricane Helene has turned up on a beach in Bermuda, more than 1,100 miles away. A local woman there contacted the Sadiku family with photos, giving Dunedin residents a remarkable coda to the storm and a touching reminder of how far one man's memory has traveled.
• Florida Homeowners Are Paying the Price of a Broken Disaster System (truthout.org) — Dunedin is among several Florida communities whose local climate and energy commitments can no longer be enforced under a new state law, even as homeowners statewide face soaring insurance costs and complex disaster aid. The piece explains how recent hurricanes, insurance failures, and partisan battles over climate and FEMA reforms could affect what protections and relief Dunedin residents can expect in future storms.
