As Miami University moves toward integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its majors, offering an AI bachelor’s degree and continuing to provide access to Gemini and other assistance, Vice President for IT Services and Chief Information Officer David Seidl cautioned about the rising costs associated with AI’s “token economy.”

School districts across the county often provide students with not just education, but also hot meals, clothing and social services.

In some communities in Butler County, public schools are serving as outlets for families in need. But for many reasons, more than 600 schools in Ohio, including at least 120 schools identified as rural, have been closing over the past decade.

As stated on its website, “Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income.” Since launching in 1995, the program has expanded worldwide to provide a book per month to each child enrolled.

“It’s kind of a mysterious thing, but magical,” [Caitlin] Campbell said. “But it is a very fabulous program, and I think much needed.”

For the Butler County area, the program launched in Middletown in 2008, and Oxford joined when the program went statewide in November 2020. There are currently 14,584 kids in Butler County enrolled in the program through MidPointe Library System.

“This is obviously a tough matchup,” (Noel) Alberran said. “These are rivals of ours. We were 1-1 last year (against them), so this (was) a really important game. It’s our first conference game, so we’ve done a lot of preparation. In practice, we’ve been really focused on beating this team, so it felt really good to see us get the win.”

While the offense may have been the story early on for Talawanda, it was the defense that held strong.

With a final score of 59-14, the RedHawks trudged off Heinz Field disappointed and beaten down. The season is long, but blowout losses sting regardless, and McComb and Martin both acknowledged the team has plenty to work on.

“Obviously, (we were) not great,” (David) McComb said. “You put in a lot of work in the offseason, so you can hopefully see (that) down the field. There were some flashes, I don’t want to be too negative. There were some things we did well. But that was few and far between. There are a lot of things we need to improve on.”

Miami’s next test will be the College of the Holy Cross Crusaders, who will head to Oxford 0-2 on the season in the Patriot League.

COLUMN — Having the freedom to write about real issues, learn more about my community and work with my friends was what made me fall in love with journalism.

I’ve longed for that type of free and supportive environment since, and I found it at OFP.

COLUMN — Most importantly, I came to understand that a newsroom is more than just a place you work. It’s a place to make friends, learn skills and discover how you want to impact the world.

COLUMN — As the 2026-27 school year began, more than 3,000 lawsuits, filed by individuals, families, schools, states and federal courts across the U.S., have argued that the algorithms used by companies like Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, were addictive and dangerous.

The New York Times reported that most of these lawsuits “accused the companies of knowingly creating sites that were as addictive as ci******es, taking a page from a strategy used against Big To***co in the 1990s.

COLUMN — Recently, perhaps because we’re involved in another war and perhaps because I’ve been reading Lee Fisher’s good pieces in the Oxford Free Press about veterans in the area, I’ve been thinking about World War II.

The war has played a large role in my own life – a role I find myself unable to forget.
