A weekend Easter egg hunt went awry at The Greene in Beavercreek after participants ignoring instructions rushed to collect eggs.
In a post on Facebook, The Greene’s management wrote that, “unfortunately this event did not turn out as we had hoped and planned for, due to several factors.”
Management wrote that the event was meant to allow 1- and 2-year-olds to hunt for eggs in a designated area, followed by 3- and 4-year-olds to begin hunting elsewhere with their parents for a 60-second head start, and then finally everyone else would begin the hunt. Only children were supposed to pick up eggs, the post said.

RIVERSIDE — Joe’s Pizzeria has been in business for more than 60 years due in large part to a loyal customer base content to travel to the locally-owned operation.
Joe’s doesn’t offer delivery and — other than its website — it doesn’t advertise, said Mike Peterson, who now owns the 4313 Airway Road site with his wife, Debra.
“It’s just always been word of mouth,” he said. “If you like our product, please come and get it.”
Dayton mansion third building lost recently off history group’s endangered list
Extensive fire damage to the historic Louis Traxler Mansion means it may become the third property lost in just two years from a Dayton preservation group’s top 10 “endangered properties” list.
The West Dayton home on the National Register of Historic Places is likely “a total loss,” fire officials said Monday.
The home built in 1912 at 42 Yale Ave. was set for auction via sheriff’s sale and tax foreclosure May 4, according to Preservation Dayton Inc. President Monica Snow. The auction is still scheduled, she said Monday, while urging area leaders to take action to upgrade and safeguard vacant and historic properties.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown visited Dayton on Tuesday to advocate for pending federal legislation that would set minimum nurse-to-patient staffing standards.
“Nurses have never been appreciated enough,” Brown said Tuesday at Central State University’s Dayton campus. “They’ve worked long hours in critical jobs, they keep patients safe, they’ve provided highest quality of care, yet too often nurses are forced to do the impossible, caring for more patients than they have the time or the capacity to be able to manage.”
The Senate legislation (S.1113) tracks current California laws and calls for a direct care registered nurse to have limits on their number of patients, depending on the situation.
