Here are the top three stories today in Dunedin:

1. Dunedin Parks & Recreation has created a new program called Adaptive Art for kids eight years and older at the MLK Jr. Recreation Center. Participants will work on art projects which encourage creativity, social skills and communication, as well as build confidence and self-esteem. Kids will use pencils, crayons, colored pencils, glue, markers and tempura paint to create works of art. The program will be held on Wednesdays between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. Two sessions are planned for the fall with the first one between October 5 and October 26 and the second session between November 2 and November 30. Those interested can register their children online or in person. (Dunedin Patch)
