Good morning, Delaware County. Last Thursday in Dublin, people stood up and shared what it felt like to lose everything — and then find their way back. Community Housing Network's "Celebrate the Resilient" fundraiser put real faces on the housing crisis, honoring the 2,031 people CHN helped last year, 300 of them children. A $50,000 donation match from Rockford Construction made the night even more impactful. It's the kind of local story that quietly restores your faith in people. On the national front, there's plenty to unpack — from energy policy debates to overseas conflict updates — so we've got you covered there too. When you're ready for a lighter vibe, WizFest and a Country Music night are both just around the corner, fresh listings are waiting in Real Estate, and Sports has your latest local scores. ☕️ What's Brewing Locally  Residents share journeys from homelessness to permanent housing at Dublin fundraiser 🏠 Real people, real tears: homelessness survivors share powerful stories in Dublin. Community Housing Network held its "Celebrate the Resilient" fundraiser on Oct. 9 at The Exchange at Bridge Park, where residents recounted their journeys from the streets into stable homes. The organization, which has served the Columbus area for 39 years, supports over 1,500 housing units and helped 2,031 people last year — including 300 children. Ninety percent of CHN residents maintain their housing long-term, backed by services like job coaching, therapy, and case management. The evening also featured a $50,000 donation match from presenting sponsor Rockford Construction, doubling the night's fundraising impact. Read more 🏆 SCOREBOARD | Date | Sport | Matchup |

| The ice cream shop that makes money when it's cold | | 28 Wishes sells ice cream in Los Angeles. Below 70°F, sales fall about 20%. The weather is out of their hands. Rent isn't. | So the owners started putting about $20 a day into Kalshi weather markets, taking the cold side. The days that keep customers away now pay something back. | This is hedging. Big companies have done it for decades, buying protection against bad weather, fuel spikes and rising rates. It used to take a broker, a trading desk, and an order size no corner shop could meet. | Kalshi opens it up. Contracts on weather, fuel prices, inflation, tariffs and regulation, starting at a few dollars. Take a position on the outcome that would hurt you. If it hits, the payout softens it. If it doesn't, the contract expires and the good month was the point. | See how other owners are doing it at Kalshi.com/hedging |
