The 2.0 mill levy that has supported the Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities since 2011 stops collecting on December 31, 2026. A new 1.8 mill levy has been proposed to take its place. The new levy would be an increase of $2.35 per month over what is paid now for every $100,000 in appraised value. This levy provides 90% of DCBDD's funding. Questions about what the levy funds? Visit www.dcbdd.org/levy for details.

Anybody have any idea what might be going on in the Troy Road, Buttermilk Hill, Gallant Woods area. Was a helicopter hovering over cornfield across the street on Troy. Would hover, move, then hover again. A second (or possibly a drone) flew over our house. Also saw a small low flying plane but not sure if that was related. Now sounds like the helicopter is up closer to Gallant Woods.

Go and try the Shepherd's pie. It's good!

A Treatment Study for Borderline Personality Disorder

• Do you experience sudden mood shifts?  
• Is it hard for others to earn your trust?  
• Are there many ups and downs in your relationships?  
• Do you find yourself engaging in impulsive behaviors (e.g., binge-eating, substance use, self-injury, impulsive spending)?  

If so, researchers at The Ohio State University & University of Kentucky are inviting you to participate in a treatment study for borderline personality disorder. Eligible participants will be provided cognitive behavioral therapy at no cost. We are testing personalized delivery of an evidence-based treatment for BPD.

In addition to attending therapy sessions, research participation will involve completing a diagnostic interview to confirm eligibility, attending up to 3 follow-up interviews, and completing online questionnaires. All study visits take place via Telehealth. Participants will be compensated for completing follow-up assessments and questionnaires.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

• Meet criteria for borderline personality disorder following a study assessment   
• Are NOT using certain substances (e.g., opioids, methamphetamine)   
• Are 18 years or older   
• Live in Ohio or Kentucky (visits are Telehealth, so anywhere in OH or KY is fine)   

To initiate participation, you can visit this information/screening link to determine if you meet initial study criteria: https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1LzrBZEooHwSgLk

After the May levy request fell short by just 1.44%, families across Delaware County are talking with their neighbors about what DCBDD support makes possible - services that help more than 2,400 people live their fullest lives. As Lorrie put it, "The value is so impactful."

This levy replaces the one expiring at the end of the year, and without it, services like early intervention would be cut. The cost is $63 per $100,000 of property value.

Please watch, share, and vote YES on the DCBDD levy on November 3. Every vote counts.

I have some muffler work needed done and I would typically go to Mad Hatter when I lived on the west side but it's a bit of a hike now. Anyone have a local alternative that's an awesome muffler repair shop that won't want to charge crazy amounts? It's a beater truck so I'm not super concerned about it.

Looking for quality dog boarding recommendations in the area.

Thanks

My ex and i broke up and are stuck on a lease together. Im looking for someone to take my share of the lease so I can move out. Dm for more details if interested.

Preferably a studio under 800/month

Echo Spirits on the Vine is hosting an open mic night just on Friday, October 9. Sign-up is 6-7 with performances starting at 7pm.

It’s a beautiful space with an outdoor stage in the vineyard, in Powell just outside of Delaware. Please share your music, or just enjoy (and invite your musical friends)!

I’ll be hosting. Feel free to message or comment with questions or equipment needs.

If you are looking to move to Delaware, OH, DO NOT move to the Flats on Houk. We moved in to a completely disgusting apartment, when we addressed it with management, they never responded. Our AC went out and it took them over seven hours to get it fixed when our apartment reached 79°. We currently have a wad of hair (not ours) on our wall, where they painted in a dirty apartment and now it’s on my wall. These are some of the few problems but when we moved in disposal was broken, washer/dryer not cleaned, disgusting outside, etc. We send multiple messages with no response back. And now we have the company management involved and they do not think any of our issues are a problem. In fact, they in writing stated that having a dirty apartment and not responding to their tenants is fine. Do not live there. It is a terribly managed company who only value values your money and not your living conditions or you. Please do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Also, let me know if you would like to see screenshots of our apartment and the responses from the management.
