• Buc-ee's to open 6 locations in 6 states. See when and where (theolympian.com) — A small neighborhood shop in Beavercreek, Beaver's Mini Mart, is being sued by Buc-ee's over its beaver logo, even though the store has no gas pumps and sits far from the interstate. The lawsuit comes as Buc-ee's rapidly expands nationwide, drawing national scrutiny and even criticism from Ohio's governor over its aggressive trademark tactics. 
• Doctor visits, excused absences now count toward Ohio chronic absenteeism rates (daytondailynews.com) — Families in Beavercreek should know that all missed school time—excused, medical, or unexcused—now counts toward Ohio's chronic absenteeism calculations under a new law. The change, driven by House Bill 96, comes as districts from Beavercreek to Dayton and Springfield continue battling elevated post-pandemic absenteeism and are stepping up early outreach to parents about attendance.
