Butler County residents urged to sign up for Smart911 (fox19.com) — Butler County’s sheriff is urging residents, including those in Fairfield, to sign up for Smart911, a free profile that shares key details with dispatchers during emergencies. By adding information like addresses, medical needs, children, pets, or domestic violence history, Fairfield callers can help first responders act faster in crises such as seizures or missing-child cases.
   

2. Butler County man uses passion for cycling to benefit local animal shelter (wcpo.com) — A Fairfield retiree known as “Ferg the Bike Dude” is turning donated and refurbished bicycles into thousands of dollars for Butler County’s Animal Friends Humane Society. By selling bikes online, he’s already raised more than $12,000 this year, helping the overcrowded shelter cover daily costs while encouraging locals to donate bikes, foster pets, or volunteer.
   

3. Football Announces Summer Roster Additions (eiupanthers.com) — Eastern Illinois football has added 17 new players for summer workouts, including long snapper Matthew Toledo, a Fairfield native and Fairfield High School graduate.

4. Katelyn's law, named for Fairfield woman, passes Ohio House (dispatch.com) — State lawmakers have advanced Katelyn’s Law, inspired by Fairfield resident Katelyn Markham, to remove Ohio’s statute of limitations for crimes tied to a murder, like abuse of a corpse.
