Good morning, Preble County. The phrase "water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink" takes on literal meaning as thousands of Montgomery County residents navigate a boil advisory that has left many households scrambling. While officials work to resolve the situation, affected residents who didn't receive notification calls are urged to update their contact information—a timely reminder of how essential clear communication becomes during infrastructure challenges.

October's enchanting spirit materializes in downtown Middletown today as the beloved "Hocus Pocus" festival returns with its bewitching blend of costumes, creepy cars, and family fun. While the Sanderson Sisters cast their spell from 2-7 p.m., Miami University is focused on a different kind of magic—the careful alchemy of finding their next provost. Campus forums are gathering input on the perfect academic leader who can navigate both current challenges and future opportunities in higher education.
