Elsmere city councilwoman resigns after alleged misconduct and missed meetings
Hours before her fate as a council member was set to be determined at a June 4 meeting, an Elsmere city councilwoman resigned from her position effective immediately, according to an email sent to The Enquirer and other city council members. Serena Owen, who was serving her second term on Elsmere's city council submitted her letter of resignation after months during which she was accused of misconduct and missed meetings. "I am writing to formally submit my resignation from my position as a Councilwoman for the City of Elsmere, effective immediately," Owen wrote. "This decision has not been made lightly but is necessitated by the escalating challenges that have profoundly impacted my ability to serve effectively and safely," Owen said her resignation comes as a result of her fear of being shot at a public meeting by a man she claims has harassed her online, and her "repeated and justified requests for a minimal inexpensive ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) hybrid video teleconference accommodation to attend council meetings virtually (free Zoom/Teams link)" being dismissed. In March, the six-member Elsmere City Council unanimously voted to begin proceedings to remove Owen from office. Since then, they've announced seven charges against her including willful negligence and misconduct. A public meeting was set to be held June 4 from 6-7 p.m. to discuss the removal of Owen from her position on the council. The Enquirer reached out to the City of Elsmere's city clerk Katie Hehman, who declined to confirm the resignation.

When does summer start? Mark your calendars for the longest day of the year in 2025
Most of Cincinnati's public pools have opened, schools across the region wrapped up classes for summer vacation and Kings Island's opening day has come and gone (same with Cedar Point). Has summer officially arrived? Not yet. Here's what you need to know about the start of summer, the summer solstice and more. The exact start date of summer depends on who you ask. Climate scientists often identify June 1 as the first day of the meteorological summer. For those tuned in to the astronomical calendar, summer doesn't start until a few weeks later. The astronomical season starts June 20, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Astronomical seasons are based on the Earth's position in relation to the sun. The change of seasons is marked by solstices or equinoxes, with the June solstice signaling the start of summer and the autumnal equinox in September signaling the end. The meteorological start of the season is based on annual temperature cycles and the 12-month calendar. Meteorologists use this system to divide the seasons into four groups of three months, with summer starting June 1 and ending three months later, on Aug. 31. The 2025 summer solstice takes place Friday, June 20, at 10:42 p.m. ET. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. After the summer solstice, the hours of daylight start to decrease. : March 20. First day of summer: June 20. First day of fall: Sept. 22. First day of winter: Dec. 21.

Doors getting kicked in during new 'ding dong ditch' prank, NKY police say
Police in Northern Kentucky are investigating four reports of kids kicking in homeowners' doors during a new social media variation of the "ding dong ditch" prank. The twist is that instead of just knocking on the door and running away, some pranksters are completely destroying the victim's front doorway, police said. On social media, Florence police called for parents and guardians to keep an eye on their children's whereabouts to prevent a prank from turning into a tragedy. "Being awoken at 3 a.m. by someone forcefully kicking a front door could lead a homeowner to believe a break-in is occurring, potentially prompting them to take defensive action," the department said in a June 2 Facebook post. Police Detective Todd Manning told The Enquirer the department has also seen similar reports from residents across other cities in Kenton and Campbell counties in Northern Kentucky. Florence homeowner Sherri Souder says her home was hit by the social media trend during this past Memorial Day weekend, according to Enquirer media partner Fox 19. Souder said she woke up before midnight thinking she heard an explosion, only to check her cameras and see a kid kicking in her garage door. "Ding dong ditch" pranks have long been around and there are countless examples of modern spins across TikTok and other social media platforms. However, it's recently received more attention due to a deadly incident in May. Just a month ago in Virginia, a teenager was allegedly shot and killed by a homeowner while filming TikTok "ding dong ditch" prank videos with friends. One of the teen's friends was also shot and treated for minor injuries. The teens told police they were shot while running to hide after knocking on a door.
