Good morning, Preble County. Every letter, bill, and package that flows through a local post office represents more than just mail—it's the lifeblood of a community. Lewisburg residents are putting this philosophy into action with a brilliant billing adjustment that could save their local post office from reduced hours or closure. By routing village utility bills through their own postal facility instead of Brookville's, they're creating a sustainable solution that benefits everyone while adding online payment options for residents who prefer digital convenience.
Meanwhile, Tuesday morning commuters near West Carrollton should prepare for a brief disruption as tree removal work reduces West Central Avenue to one lane with two ten-minute full closures before 9:30 a.m. In education news, Brookville Local Schools welcomes new board member Rodney Stark, who steps in following Tim Denlinger's resignation, alongside several staffing changes and policy updates for the upcoming school year.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
📬 Lewisburg saves local post office with smart billing change. Village council approved using their postal machine to send water, sewer, and trash bills directly through the Lewisburg post office instead of Brookville. The move will generate more revenue for the local post office, potentially preventing reduced hours or closure. Residents will also soon be able to pay bills online or with credit cards for added convenience. Law director Steve Hobbs noted the change would provide more sorting work for local postal employees while ensuring faster delivery to residents.
🏫 Brookville school board welcomes new member Rodney Stark. Stark replaces Tim Denlinger who resigned from the position on the Brookville Local Schools Board. The board also approved several staffing changes including contracts for custodians Noah Lockhart and James Prather, plus translator Erin Bailey for the upcoming school year. Additionally, they entered into a contract with Weswurd, LLC for Medicaid reimbursement services and adopted various school policies including the high school program of studies and Athletic Code of Conduct.
🌳 Tree removal will disrupt West Central Avenue traffic Tuesday morning. Crews in West Carrollton will reduce the road to one lane in each direction near the Miamisburg border starting at 7:30 a.m. Drivers should expect two brief full closures lasting about ten minutes each during the work. While the removal is scheduled to conclude by 9:30 a.m., commuters are advised to prepare for delays.
