I was diagnosed with stage III cancer at the age of seventeen and lost my mother to cancer who had cared for my every need during treatment and recovery. As someone who has been deeply affected by this disease, I see the impact decisions made by elected officials have on cancer patients and their families. While several issues dominated the headlines this election cycle, voters across the country also recognized the importance of health care when voting. A national poll released by ACS CAN showed 8 in 10 voters viewed a candidate’s position on health care as a vote-determining factor. As he returns to the U.S. House, Rep Carey signed the Cancer Promise pledging to prioritize cancer and health care policy as a congressperson. The promise is part of ACS CAN’s Cancer Votes program. Candidates who signed pledged to support evidence-based public policy solutions to end cancer as we know it, for everyone, by accelerating cures, improving access to care and ensuring access to cancer prevention and early detection services, including tobacco control. My friends and acquaintances in the cancer community here in central Ohio clearly made their voices heard by encouraging our candidates to promise their support of cancer related initiatives. I have faith that Mike Carey will keep their promise. Nearly eighteen million survivors across the country are depending on the leadership of him and his colleagues."},{"_id":"NQKS5AODYNDSVFXDS7QCBTBLDM","additional_properties":{"inline_comments":[],"comments":[]},"type":"text","content":"<i>- Julie Turner, Tipp City</i>"},{"_id":"2BEQNJUMG5AZJCILETZ3N2YGME","additional_properties":{"inline_comments":[],"comments":[]},"type":"text","content":"<b>Most observers are focusing their attention</b> on the transition to a new administration, but this Congress can still pass bipartisan legislation that will improve our nation’s future. One such bill is the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024, which will relieve the permitting bottleneck that is slowing down the deployment of clean energy and related infrastructure. This bill would allow for faster building of more electrical transmission lines, which is crucial to directing power to where it’s most needed. It sets ambitious targets for building clean energy projects on federal lands and streamlines the permitting process. Federal agencies will still conduct environmental reviews of proposed energy and mining projects on federal lands, and the bill provides for healthy community review. It allows good projects to be approved faster and bad projects to be rejected faster. Streamlining the permitting process is essential for meeting our nation’s goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and assuring a supply of sustainable energy. Rep.

More of the money you spend stays in the local community and, if you support small businesses, it will hopefully allow them to keep doing what they love to do. There are also benefits to the community unique to second-hand local stores like ours. Since opening nearly 50 years ago, Feathers Vintage has saved a lot of things from the landfill. And many small businesses feature unique items not found at the malls or websites like Shein and Temu."},{"owner":{"id":"coxohio"},"workflow":{"status_code":4},"auth":{"1":"ff991edf6ac07d3049a7d569f120a36da597dfd2a628ee31a78c01b03daa271d"},"caption":"Oregon District resident Janet Phillips opened Feathers Vintage Clothing more than 40 years ago.","source":{"system":"Methode","name":"DaytonDailyNews","source_type":"other","source_id":"382ae3e8-9f24-11e8-831d-cd90d13da261","additional_properties":{"editor":"photo center"}},"type":"image","distributor":{"mode":"reference","reference_id":"0e544e78-74cb-4304-871c-9b9bd6b12e9b"},"version":"0.10.9","url":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/coxohio/CHPXRFIIJ773IAMVFRW2FWGTYA.jpg","licensable":false,"display_date":"2018-08-13T18:10:55Z","credits":{"by":[{"referent":{"id":"amelia-robinson","type":"author"},"type":"reference"}]},"subtitle":"40 years of Feathers in the Oregon District","width":3456,"first_publish_date":"2018-08-13T18:10:55Z","_id":"CHPXRFIIJ773IAMVFRW2FWGTYA","additional_properties":{"fullSizeResizeUrl":"/resizer/Vi3FSI17Yv2yZBDy9xBUALPmt_A=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-coxohio/public/CHPXRFIIJ773IAMVFRW2FWGTYA.jpg","comments":[],"keywords":["verticals_lifestyles","CMGO_robinson"],"proxyUrl":"/resizer/Vi3FSI17Yv2yZBDy9xBUALPmt_A=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-coxohio/public/CHPXRFIIJ773IAMVFRW2FWGTYA.jpg","takenOn":"2018-08-13T18:10:55Z","originalUrl":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/coxohio/CHPXRFIIJ773IAMVFRW2FWGTYA.jpg","published":true,"resizeUrl":"/resizer/Vi3FSI17Yv2yZBDy9xBUALPmt_A=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-coxohio/public/CHPXRFIIJ773IAMVFRW2FWGTYA.jpg","thumbnailResizeUrl":"/resizer/KB7D5Ohsz8ssX3D4hueIriU5J_s=/300x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-coxohio/public/CHPXRFIIJ773IAMVFRW2FWGTYA.jpg","version":0,"originalName":"https://www.daytondailynews.com//rw/Pub/p9/Dayton/2018/08/13/Images/8%20IMG_0358.jpg","mime_type":"image/jpeg","restricted":false,"galleries":[{"headlines":{"basic":"Photos: Inside Feathers in the Oregon District"},"_id":"OWZEKN6NPHMAIVF4EL4O24UDHA"}],"_id":"ZMOJDG5SSRFV5FNB6EPBS6H2BQ"},"created_date":"2020-07-12T02:25:53Z","last_updated_date":"2020-07-12T02:25:53Z","publish_date":"2018-08-13T18:10:55Z","height":2304,"resized_obj":{"src":"https://www.daytondailynews.com/resizer/v2/CHPXRFIIJ773IAMVFRW2FWGTYA.jpg?auth=ff991edf6ac07d3049a7d569f120a36da597dfd2a628ee31a78c01b03daa271d&width=1000&height=560&smart=true"}},{"_id":"CTMLA6IVMJAMTGISXV65L67H4U","additional_properties":{"inline_comments":[],"comments":[],"_id":1732211461183},"type":"text","content":"The Oregon District is our home and offers so many unique local businesses.

Parking in the Oregon District has always been tight, so having the street closed puts more of a strain on finding a space to park. Our business especially has a lot of older people coming downtown to show us vintage items or to possibly buy something and they cannot walk long distances while carrying their items to and from their cars.

I’ve benefited from the tax incentives in the IRA which helped me buy an electric car and change out our 30-year old furnace and air conditioner with a heat pump. These significant benefits for citizens need to be safeguarded. A fickle government that might change climate policy would be bad for the economy, bad for US businesses, and bad for US citizens. Back in 2012 the US military published the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap, which stated that, “Climate change is expected to play a significant role in the DOD’s ability to fulfill its mission in the future.” That future includes threats to national security due to conflicts over resources like food and water, effects of rising sea levels, extreme heat and extreme weather events. We’re already seeing these issues, which are not going to go away by ignoring them. I also urge lawmakers, including Congressman Mike Turner, to make addressing climate change a priority when they take office in January. Lack of consistency on climate change is bad for the economy. US businesses need predictability and reliable markets.

I am a retired air traffic controller/supervisor. Yearly we would have new controllers come on board and air traffic controllers train the newest class when they enter the profession. It was the responsibility of experienced controllers and supervisors to make absolutely sure that a new controller have the ability and understand the responsibility they will have to the people that board an aircraft, that their flight will be safe to their destination. For more than 30 years I always provided that safety to each and every flight that I worked and controlled to their destination. Now compare that to a President of the United States.

The extreme academic pressure to succeed and perform perfectly in school can lead to stress, anxiety, and burnout. Many schools lack appropriate mental health resources and trained professionals, leaving students without that needed support. Further, bullying — both in-person and online — can harshly impact students’ self-esteem and well-being. The fixed structure of the school environment often fails to provide students with mental health needs, making it extremely challenging for those struggling with anxiety or depression to thrive. Likewise, preliminary mental health education leaves students uninformed about acknowledging their issues while peer pressure can lead to harmful behaviors and heighten stress.

It should have at least one sensory room on every level of the building for if someone needs some time to calm down or take a break. I would also put sound canceling walls or acoustic foam panels in every room to block out the noise whether you’re in a session or not. That way people can get the help and privacy they need.
