​

Good morning, Powell. October's chill brings the perfect atmosphere for Hitchcock's masterpieces to return to the big screen at Marysville's Avalon Theatre. Starting this month, thriller enthusiasts can experience four of the director's most iconic works every Thursday evening, from the dizzying heights of "Vertigo" to the infamous shower scene in "Psycho." For just $10, you can immerse yourself in timeless suspense while supporting a local non-profit—complete with hometown concessions to enhance those spine-tingling moments.

Meanwhile, small-town drama unfolds in Alger, where the seemingly simple act of renaming a park after baseball Hall-of-Famer Ray Brown sparked unexpected controversy before ultimately being approved. And on OSU's campus, an unusual rivalry has emerged between the prankster known as the "OSU Pisser" and a self-appointed "Piss Catcher"—though university officials confirm it's just water, not the real thing. The culprit promises a "season two" later this semester, keeping campus on its toes.

⚾ Small Ohio village's park renaming sparked unexpected controversy. Alger initially voted to honor Hall-of-Famer Ray Brown, their hometown baseball star, by renaming the village park after him. The decision quickly faced opposition, with some residents circulating a petition against the change, claiming they'd never heard of Brown. While some questioned if racial bias played a role—Brown was Black—officials denied racist motivations. After multiple reversals, the council ultimately approved the name "Ray Brown Memorial Park," with renovation plans moving forward for a grand opening next summer.
