FAIRBORN — Motorists may have noticed construction activity on Dayton-Yellow Springs as the final phase of several years of improvements began this week.
DP&L began working this week on utility pole and street light relocations ahead of contractor RB Jergens, who will perform the remaining work on the Dayton-Yellow Springs Road Improvements Project.
“Phase III of the Dayton-Yellow Springs Road project begins this week as DP&L is already relocating signals. RB Jergens begins their portion of the project the first week in March,” said city public relations specialist Katie Lewallen.
Due to funding constraints this overall project was designed and constructed in three different phases. Phase 1, from I-675 to Southlawn Drive, was completed in 2008 at a cost of $1,201,532. Improvements included roadway widening and resurfacing, new curb and gutter on the north side, new traffic signal installed at the relocated Community Park entrance and Park Hills Drive, decorative fencing along the park property and a water main replacement.
Phase II, from Beaver Valley Road and Ironwood Drive, was completed in June 2013 and included roadway widening and resurfacing, new curb and gutter, storm sewer modifications, traffic signal modifications at Five Points and a water main replacement, at a cost of $1,044, 950.
Phase III involves the section of Dayton-Yellow Springs between Beaver Valley Road and Southlawn Avenue. The roadway will receive a number of improvements including the addition of a westbound lane, new storm sewers, modifications to the signal at DYS and Southlawn, and installation of a decorative curbed median island between the access road and DYS.According to City Engineer Don O’Connor,

The following story below you'll see that the president of the Wright State University is making excuses Agan covered his butt, because of the menu that was posted, some have felt that it was racially motivated. Personally I think it was this an honest mistake in people just need to relax a little bit. I'm not saying that we don't have to be sensitive towards people, but at same time isn't there other things that are more important that we can focus on. Instead of talking about what were doing wrong let's talk about what were doing right as a society and as a culture. One thing we need to do is we need to respect each other and not this assume that the other person is doing something that is racially motivated.
The president of Wright State University and its dining services vendor have apologized for a Black History Month menu that featured fried chicken and collard greens.
The menu screens at the Ohio school also offered mashed potatoes and cornbread under photos of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and other black leaders. The Dayton Daily News reported (http://bit.ly/1DGCPii ) that people circulated images of it on social media, calling it offensive and disrespectful. Fried chicken has long been associated with racial stereotyping in the United States.
President David Hopkins sent an email Thursday asserting the university's commitment to diversity and pledged to prevent a repeat.
"I apologize to anyone hurt by the display," Hopkins wrote. "To our credit, the menu was quickly removed. But the larger question remains: Why was it done? I will find out. We will take steps to prevent this kind of behavior occurring in the future."

congratulations go out to Dr. Soin who has an office in Beavercreek Ohio and I personally have visited him for some issues that I was having I have to say that he is very committed that none of his patients get addicted to any type of pain medication.
Dr. Amol Soin, Medical Director of the Ohio Pain Clinic, with an office in Beavercreek, has announced the development of a treatment for diabetic neuropathy pain, which is an investigational, non addicting/sedating pill. Dr. Soin and his team filed a patent last February and filed an Investigational New Drug Application with the FDA in December, 2014 paving the way for clinical tests to be done locally starting within a few months.
A co-inventor of this medication, Dr. Soin points out that over 300 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes, and this number is expected to grow by over 50 percent by 2035. News reports note that the diabetes epidemic shows no signs of slowing in the United States and around the world. This new pill features enteric coated, time released sodium nitrite which stimulates blood vessel growth and has been shown in a previous study to significantly reduce pain in patients suffering from diabetic neuropathy without being addicting or sedating.

A six-inch water main break is causing bigger headaches for the man whose truck was totaled in the resulting sinkhole.Last November, Mike McDonald was driving to work when the road suddenly gave way beneath his truck.“I was just hoping the city of Dayton would go, ‘Hey, man. Sorry. We’ll square everything away,'” said McDonald. A water main break caused a sinkhole about five feet deep underneath High Knoll Drive in the area where McDonald lives.

About 800,000 HealthCare.gov customers got the wrong tax information from the government, the Obama administration said Friday, and officials are asking those affected to delay filing their 2014 returns.The tax mistake is a self-inflicted injury that comes on the heels of what President Barack Obama had touted as a successful enrollment season, with about 11.4 million people signed up.California, which is running its own insurance market, on Thursday announced a similar problem affecting about 100,000 people in that state.The errors mean that nearly 1 million people may have to wait longer to get their income tax refunds this year. And they could also affect the size of those refunds.Another 50,000 or so who already filed may have to resubmit their returns.Federal officials also announced Friday a special sign-up extension for uninsured people facing the health care law’s tax penalties for the first time this year.

It's time that Dayton and really the whole party United States takes the stance on heroin addiction. Heroin is the drug that you hear most days. There definitely is a big problem with the this and the region needs to take a stance on this drug. Supply and people with narcin on this just a Band-Aid and doesn't totally address what the real problem is and why people use drugs.
Cold temperatures haven’t stopped an uptick in robberies in the eastern part Dayton, and police say heroin addiction coupled with a desperation for quick cash to get a fix may be behind the spike.
Since the beginning of the year, 18 robberies have been reported. Many of the cases are armed robberies, each time committed by different individuals who threaten store clerks or individuals with a weapon to get cash. There were two robberies reported during the same period in 2014 — which is why police said they are so concerned about the uptick.
“Usually we see more robberies in December, and it kind of falls off (due to) the weather

Fairborn Ohio
Urban Exploration: Abandoned Cement Plant-Price Bros. Cement, Fairborn Ohio
UPDATE: It turns out that this was not a Cemex, but a Price Brothers Cement plant. The property was owned by Cemex for a while after the place was abandoned. Also turns out it's haunted, which explains some of the strange sounds I heard. Most people driving past Fairborn have seen this big abandoned cement plant from the highway. I have wanted to explore the place for a long time and i finally did this week. It was a risky one as I had to crawl under a fence to get to it, and there were countless "NO TRESPASSING VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED" signs. Also a company still periodically uses the empty lot for storage, and occasionally drives by to drop stuff off, so the whole time I was pretty on edge. Despite all this, it appears that kids get in here to mess around all the time. The plant used to be a Price Brothers Cement Manufacturing plant. the plant has been closed since 1993 and now just sits in the field decaying. A second, larger, cement plant sits in downtown Fairborn, however it was being renovated when I was there and I hear they now have alarms on the property and I didn't want to mess with that. The big plant is going to become the new Calamityville disaster training center.
