No such form, federal law, or stimulus program exists." And this is the kind of stuff that it has some AI-generated graphic on Facebook, and some people are actually calling the county auditor.

Skyline Chili has opened nine locations in three years and is opening a 10th in Batavia.

Here's your Queen City Pulse.

Skyline is opening another location in Batavia out in Clermont County.

A million dollars, 38,000 square feet, and 122 seats opening early 2027.

It lands right as Nestle Purina opens a $550 million plant out there bringing 500 jobs.

I'm most interested in where I can affect change right now, right? And so I tell people that biblical localism is giving the priority to the time and place God has put you.

Well, so whereas God puts you, he's put me primarily at Batavia, Ohio, suburb of Cincinnati right now in 2026.

That's what I'm trying to deal with.

I'm not trying to recreate Geneva.

It was from a lovely, lovely company, a lovely store.

They're called Hap Bee Acres, and they're in Batavia, Ohio, so kind of like the southeastern part.

portion or well, southeast of Cincinnati, I should say.

I drove an hour there.

As of right now, my plan is to check on them next week.

What I will be doing is making sure that the queen, she has emerged from the little cage that she was in, that she is laying eggs and doing what she's supposed to do.

I have also switched to a different type of feeding and believe me, this place where I went to buy these queens, Happ Bee Acres in Batavia, Ohio, they were so informational and I am so glad I went there because I was debating between two different places to go to And I'm so happy that I went there.

But I did put a new type of feeding system on the beehives.

But who specifically would you like to thank today, Scotty?

The good and decent people, including Allison Fabich, who has listened to every episode of Bananas in Batavia...

Batavia, Ohio.

I bet you they have some nice sausage in Batavia, Ohio.

I'm probably pronouncing it wrong, but yeah, Batavia or Batavia.

1,972 proud Batavians, including our very own Allison.

You're officially on the map, gang.

They actually call themselves Batavanians.

Just a normal day.

Batavia is the county seat of Claremont County in Ohio, a small courthouse town on the east fork of the Little Miami River, roughly 30 miles southeast of Cincinnati.

The county was formed in 1800, one of the original counties carved out of the Northwest Territory, and it grew slowly around agriculture and the river trade that once moved goods towards the Ohio River.

Today, it remains one of the less developed counties in the Cincinnati metro area, a mix of small towns, farmland, and unincorporated townships.

Monroe Township sits in the eastern half of the county, nearer the Ohio River than to Batavia itself in the New Richmond area.

It's a rural township, mostly agricultural land and low-density housing, with a population in the low thousands.

Monroe Elementary serves the area's children, and the New Richmond Youth Sports Association runs the local baseball and softball leagues out of a set of fields behind the school, drawing families from across the township on weekend mornings.

ATF Mobile Command Unit deployed to Claremont County.

The ATF has developed a Crime Gun Intelligence Mobile Command Center to Batavia, where federal agents are working alongside the Claremont County Sheriff's Office on firearms-related investigations.

The mobile unit gives investigators on-site access to ATF technology and the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, or NIBIN, N-I-B-I-N, NIBIN, which compares markings on fire cartridge casings and can help connect firearms to multiple crime scenes.

The command center functions as a mobile forensics lab.

Ricciuti, Joe, if you listen, I'm sorry if I pronounced your name wrong, is expected to send the next several months working inside the mobile unit, focusing on ballistic and firearm investigations.

The operation isn't limited to Claremont County.

ATF describes the Batavia deployment as a regional crime gun intelligence resource that can assist law enforcement agencies and surrounding communities as well.

So an important note here, WCPO reported on this and neither them nor the ATF information that provided by the ATF, obviously, identified a particular Claremont County shooting or newly reported spike in local gun crime as the reason for deployment.

We are a little less than 30 days and counting.

It takes place October 17th, Saturday, and it will be held once again at the Tri-State Warbird Museum in Batavia, Ohio, just east of Cincinnati off the Interstate 275.

We open at 9 o'clock in the morning for all you model builders, and we'll be going all the way through the afternoon.

And a really nice thing about our show is because it's set up in a museum, you have the chance to see all the aircraft up close and personal, but also the whole showroom stays open throughout the whole day.

And people know my little buckaroo nose art jacket that I'll wear at shows.

And I was working on an airplane, and I said to my buddy Pat Hutchins, I swear there was something about the pilot of this plane being from Ohio.

We started researching, and lo and behold, he came from Hillsboro, which is just east of Batavia, where our show is.

Pat and I did a little research, and we came across the granddaughter, which led us to her father, who's still alive.
