Hamilton doctor indicted on 26 counts after investigation into patient claims
A Hamilton chiropractor has been indicted on 26 sex-related charges following an investigation into claims that he inappropriately touched patients and engaged in misconduct.

New art, artists sought for Hamilton’s 2021 murals: Where they’ll go
The StreetSpark program, which has created 14 murals in the city in recent years, plans to paint four more next summer.
Two murals will be on buildings, Telhio Credit Union at 601 Park Ave. and the Hamilton Professional Fire Fighters IAFF Local 20 Union Hall at 204 N. Third St. The other two murals next year will decorate all four sides of two city-owned utility boxes, one near the intersection of Main and B streets, and the second near High Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The unique part about the Telhio wall, StreetSpark official Jennifer Acus-Smith said, “is that it wraps around the corner of the building, so we thought that would be a pretty neat challenge for artists to look at how a mural could wrap around the corner.”
