McCrabb: Woman led from homelessness to homeownership credits God
Adriane Carruth can’t pinpoint the reason she lost her Section 8 subsidy she used to rent a Fairfield apartment.
Whatever the reason, she owed $3,000 in back rent, and with no way to pay, Carruth, 41, and her two children were evicted in 2017. With poor credit, Carruth’s applications were rejected by numerous apartment managers.
So the Carruth family bounced from hotel to hotel.
She was a homeless, working mother. Probably not the traditional picture of the homeless population we paint in our minds, but still no secure place to live.

It wasn’t even open six months before the Hanover Reserve Weddings and Events was nearly destroyed by fire.
The damage was thankfully limited to the roof, and Hanover Reserve Manager Megan Sanders said the construction of the roof and much of the interior was a reorder of supplies they purchased several months earlier.
The first wedding after the reopening is June 12, and the day before, on June 11, there will be an open house for the facility where future clients, and those who have booked the site unseen, can tour the rebuilt family business.
Groundbreaking celebrates $50M luxury apartment complex going in heart of West Chester
Area officials dug shovels into soggy ground Tuesday as the start of a long-awaited, $50 million residential project in heart of West Chester Twp.’s central Clock Tower area was celebrated.
Rain didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of township officials for the coming 326-unit luxury, multi-family community, which developers said is planned to open in the spring of 2023.

Richter Scale’s developer was a scientist with Butler County roots
OXFORD — Richter Scale is not a concept we hear much anymore during news reports, either predicting earthquakes or reporting on them. In recent years, the “magnitude” of the earthquake is mostly the reference we hear.
They are actually, however, much the same thing, based on the work of a Butler County native, Charles Richter, in the last century.
The Richter Scale went into use in the 1930s to measure and compare the intensity of earthquakes. He developed the tool after getting a job at the Seismological Laboratory at Caltech, where he assigned himself the task of developing an objective way of comparing different earthquakes.
