Good morning, Hamilton.

The Liberty Home Association is hosting its Oktoberfest event this weekend in Hamilton—plans include activities for families and local vendors.

Human bones were discovered during a routine storm sewer maintenance near 3rd Street and Market Street, and a third-party contractor alerted local authorities— including the Hamilton Fire Department, Department of Infrastructure, Police Department, and Butler County Coroner’s Office— who are working to safely recover and investigate the remains.

The Ohio River will host the Western & Southern / WEBN Fireworks show, themed Boomsday the Musical, with a unique musical soundtrack crafted by Miles Hlivko who has worked on the event for 13 years.

The soundtrack will include show tunes & nods to major musicals like Wicked and Jersey Boys as well as elements from Disney such as The Lion King and a pop punk twist on Frozen.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost confirmed that federal law lets Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones hold ICE detainees charged with immigration offenses in the county jail for more than two days.

Protesters in Hamilton and faith leaders urging Gov. DeWine to free a detained Muslim cleric have raised concerns, while Sheriff Jones said he would continue enforcing federal law.
