📰 News we're reading

1. Huffman Dam Tour to Feature Wright 'B' Flyer Flyover (nps.gov) — Dayton-area residents can sign up now for a free Sept. 17 tour of Huffman Dam that includes a special Wright "B" Flyer flyover and guided visits to the Wright Brothers Memorial and nearby historic sites. The afternoon event, run by the Miami Conservancy District and National Park Service, highlights local flood protection, aviation history, fossils, and regional park partners, with shuttles and registration required.
   

2. Bus rides about to get longer for some across Miami Valley (whio.com) — If you ride Greater Dayton RTA, be prepared for longer trips starting Sunday as Routes 6, 12, and 17 are adjusted, a new X12 route is added, and the North Community Connector is temporarily discontinued. Route 17 will reach new areas for jobs, healthcare, groceries, and retail, but riders worry the changes could significantly lengthen already long commutes.
   

3. An organ donor saved her life. Now she's marrying his brother. (seattletimes.com) — A Dayton family's tragedy years ago, when 10-year-old Michael Waters died after being hit by a car, led to his liver saving a Kentucky toddler's life. That girl, Brooklyn, later moved to Ohio and is now marrying Michael's younger brother Noah, with their story highlighting the impact of organ donation for Dayton and beyond.
   

4. WYSO Weekend: A podcast challenge and looking ahead to Dayton's fall weather (wyso.org) — Dayton-area listeners can hear WYSO dive into a fall weather outlook for Southwest Ohio, a new podcast challenge helping older storytellers, and the local roots of mid-air refueling. The program also examines ICE activity across Ohio, explores Annie Oakley's legacy, and shares nature-focused BirdNote segments to deepen appreciation for regional wildlife.
