Good morning, Meigs County. Streets underwater, roads closed, homes damaged — the rain that hit Pomeroy and Rutland wasn't messing around, and officials are urging everyone to stay off flooded roadways until things dry out. Meanwhile, Wall Street had its own rough patch — inflation came in hotter than expected at 3.7%, stocks took a tumble, and the Federal Reserve is playing it cool for now. On a wilder note, federal agents seized 187 laptops tied to a North Korean identity theft ring, which is the kind of headline that makes your Wednesday feel a little surreal. When you're ready for something more grounding, October's still serving up good things — the Quilting Crew Circle, a Plant Foraging Workshop, and fresh real estate listings are all waiting inside. ☕️ What's Brewing Locally Pomeroy and Rutland residents face hazardous flooding after relentless rain ☔ Flash flooding inundated streets, closed roads, and damaged homes in Pomeroy and Rutland after intense rainfall.

Nasdaq Composite tumbled 1.88% Wednesday as hotter inflation revived rate-hike fears and sent AI stocks into another rough landing. S&P 500 dropped 1.11%, posting its worst day since July as investors digested fresh evidence that inflation still has teeth. Federal Reserve officials cooled October rate-hike bets, signaling patience despite inflation data that gave markets plenty to fret about. North Korean laptop network faced a federal crackdown after agents seized 187 devices tied to alleged identity theft and illicit financing of weapons programs. Donald Trump rallied supporters in Alaska while touting resource development, pardons, and endorsements during a campaign-style Wasilla appearance. 🙏 In Remembrance Jeanetta Miller Jeanetta Miller passed away on Saturday, October 10, 2026.

| Big companies hedge their risks. Now your business can too. | | For US farm, ranch and small business owners. | Airlines hedge fuel. Food companies hedge crops. For decades, protecting a business from outcomes it can't control took a broker, a trading desk and an order size most owners never had. | Kalshi opens hedging up to small businesses. Pick the outcome that would hurt you, like a fuel spike, a heat wave, a new tariff or a rate hike, and take a position on it, starting at a few dollars. If it happens, the payout offsets the hit. If it doesn't, the contract expires and the good month was the point. | A California goat herder and a Maryland tea company already do it, and CNBC, Reuters and The New York Times have covered businesses hedging on Kalshi. | Kalshi is a federally regulated exchange. | See how other owners hedge |
