Good morning, Hamilton.

Paula discusses Heather Webber’s 'Forget-Me-Not Library' in her Chapter Chats session today, offering insights into its themes and inviting local readers to explore the book’s community-rooted storytelling (a gentle nod to local arts).

Two new education centers will open in January to help meet local workforce needs.

Butler Tech will start an Aviation Center at the Middletown Regional Airport in late January, & Miami University will join Butler Tech to open an Advanced Manufacturing Hub at Vora Technology Park on Jan. 6.

The Reentry and Supports Subcommittee, celebrating its first anniversary, has nearly doubled from 24 to 45 members and distributed over 5,000 resource cards across Butler County.

It holds meetings on the fourth Wednesday each month (to improve reentry support) and collaborates with Miami University to fill service gaps.

Students at Reading High School rallied to support Nick Radtke, a basketball player diagnosed with brain cancer in summer 2025, by hosting Night for Nick Saturday with exhibition games that raised funds for his treatment.

His coach said the event kept the team united during his absence from the court.
