📰 News we're reading

• Resources available for Kettering flood damage victims (wdtn.com) — Kettering residents dealing with Sunday's flooding can now request free home damage inspections from the city's Planning and Development Department to support insurance claims and repair decisions. Officials are also directing locals to community, county, and state programs for home repairs, sewer backups, insurance questions, and potential property tax relief, and urging everyone to report damage through Montgomery County's Public Damage Assessment Form.
   

• Kettering Ice Rink may avoid demolition under new master plan (whio.com) — Kettering's ice rink may be spared from demolition after City Council approved a new Parks and Recreation master plan that opens the door for a third‑party partner to fund repairs. With needed renovations estimated at about $15 million, officials set a February 1 deadline to push negotiations, which could keep the rink open at least one more season if a deal emerges.
   

• We Ranked The Top 12 Breakfast Restaurants In Ohio And Here Is Who Made The Cut (takingthekids.com) — Kettering breakfast fans can take pride that The Blue Berry Cafe, on South Dixie Drive, made a statewide list of Ohio's top 12 breakfast spots thanks to its giant pancakes and generous portions. The write‑up highlights signature Buckeye and specialty pancake stacks, plus hearty omelets and waffles, and even nods to Kettering's relaxed, tree‑lined suburban feel and nearby parks.
