Good morning, Dayton.

David Peeples, owner of The Cellar by Bottle Number 121 in Troy, organized donations for the Godin family after a fire on Easter destroyed their Wheeler Street home.

Donations of clothing, food, and dry goods were gathered at Troy Walmart and online (with $5,425 raised on GoFundMe) as the family prepares to move into a new rental and begin rebuilding.

Daybreak Dayton is celebrating its 50th Anniversary with an Open House on April 24 from 5:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m. at 701 South Patterson Blvd—this event invites local residents to learn about its support for homeless and vulnerable Miami Valley youth.

Two boys—ages 5 and 6—were reported missing after getting lost in a wooded area in Washington Township on Friday; coordinated efforts by local and state agencies led an hour-long search that found the children safe and returned them to their families.

A 3.1 magnitude earthquake hit Ohio on April 22, and seismographs recorded a mild tremor—residents reported feeling the shake across the area.

Dayton will receive a state grant of $47,696.65 to clean up a dumpsite at 3800 Germantown St where illegal dumping has been a health risk.

City agencies will hire a contractor to remove the trash + install concrete barriers and cameras to deter future dumping.

Virginia bluebells are in peak bloom at Aullwood Garden MetroPark in Englewood, where guests can stroll a mile-long path and see hillsides filled with vibrant wildflowers—weather permitting.

Visitors are encouraged to head out soon to enjoy the bloom while it lasts.

The Montgomery County Human Services Levy Council recommended a one-time $9.17M funding increase in 2026 for the Board of Developmental Disabilities Services to address rising costs and a projected $9.1M budget deficit.

Board officials have already cut $4.4M through staff and facility reductions — and the Montgomery County commission will review further proposals next month.
