Once Prominent Shopping Center Up For Auction, Could Soon Get New Life

One of the largest shopping centers in the region, which now sits largely vacant, is on the auction block. The news means the once-busy property could soon get new life.

Salem Consumer Square, located at 5439 Salem Ave. in Trotwood, will be put up for auction on Nov. 13, according to a listing on Ten-X — the world's largest online commercial real estate exchange. The starting bid is set at $800,000.

The over 274,000 square-foot retail strip, sitting on roughly 30 acres, was once a hot spot in the Dayton re-

gion but has struggled in recent years to fill vacant space. As it stands now, the center has many more empty storefronts than occupied ones — the listing says more than 90% of gross leasable area is available.

The listing pitches the property as a value-add, saying investors can "add significant value through renovation and lease-up, with the possibility of future redevelopment."

"We are optimistic that the next owner can bring this 30-acre, 274,000-square-foot center back to life in a new configuration," Joe Mont- Salem Consumer Square, the once-busy property could soon get new life.

Dayton Chapter NBMBAA Leaders of Tomorrow Students Participate in Community Service Project at St. Vincent de Paul

Group photo Dorothy Height once said, “Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. It's important to the person who serves as well as the recipient.

It's the way in which we ourselves grow and develop.”

Since its inception in 1991, the National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) Program has mentored more than 8,000 talented youth aspiring to leadership roles in professional fields. The LOT Program is a compre-

hensive programmatic approach for providing leadership development to high school students.

Included in the principles of the leadership program is the understanding and commitment to make a difference in the community through community service.

Saturday, October 14, 2023, students participated in a community service project at St. Vincent de Paul central kitchen located at 1133 S. Edwin C. Moses Blvd. The community service project included repacking 60 boxes of whole chickens, six to

By John Colen, M.D., Urology Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. But on a positive note, 96 percent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer are still alive five years later.

In Texas in 2020, prostate cancer was number one among all new cancer cases in men and number two for cancer deaths, slightly behind lung cancer.

Prostate cancer is rare in men under 40 years of age, but the chance of being diagnosed with

prostate cancer rises rapidly for men 50 years and older. While it can be deadly, prostate cancer can often be detected in time for effective treatment.

With September designated as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, now is an ideal time for men as well as transgender women and nonbinary individuals assigned male at birth to adopt a preventive mindset focused on what to look for and what to know about prostate cancer.

First, know the symptoms.

The prostate is a small male organ just below the bladder and in front of the

MCD to Unveil New Storybook Trail on the Great Miami River Recreation Trail in Dayton

A new Storybook Trail featuring a children’s book about water will be unveiled at 4 p.m. Friday, October 20, along the Great Miami River Recreation Trail in downtown Dayton. The public is invited to bring children and join project partners for the ceremony.

The signs are being installed along the bike trail, overlooking the Great Miami River, just north of Carillon Boulevard.

The storybook trail features 12 unique kiosks.

Each kiosk displays two pages of a children's book that was written and published by students from the University of Dayton's Rivers Institute at the Fitz Center for Leadership and Community.

Managed by the Miami Conservancy District (MCD), the project is partially funded by an Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Storybook Trail grant of $6,400 and partially by matching funds from the MCD. ODNR launched the Storybook Trail program in 2019 to promote

the importance of literacy, a healthy lifestyle, and connection with nature.

The book, titled Into the River, was also written to increase awareness of the importance of water and takes readers on a colorful journey down the Great Miami River.

“MCD believes that if our community members feel connected to the river corridor, and appreciate the many ways that water makes our region more resilient and more desirable, they are more likely to take steps to keep it clean and plentiful,” said MaryLynn Lodor, general manager. “The UD students have taken a leadership role to help protect and promote our water and waterways, and MCD wants to support and partner with them to make a difference in our region.”

The book was created with input from local elementary students about their ideas and feelings toward rivers, as well as their original drawings and artwork. The project was also strategically created to make an impact on the City of Dayton's

literacy rates and was written for a third grade reading level. The reading proficiency in the Dayton Public School System is 32% while the statewide average is 64%.

Rivers Institute Director, Zach Piso, said the Rivers Institute program gives students a unique understanding of community.

"The wonderful thing about the River Stewards program is that it facilitates opportunities for civic engagement, for interdisciplinary collaboration and for applied research,” Piso said. “But what students actually take away from these experiences is a sense of how their work matters and how they can be leaders in their communities.”

More than 30,000 people visit this section of the Great Miami River Recreation Trail each year, according to Miami Conservancy District trail counters installed at that location.

Man with Breast Cancer Shares 1 Symptom He Ignored for Months: 'It Can Happen To You' Robert George’s mother had breast cancer so he’s no stranger to the disease as a supportive family member.

He never thought he would become a patient himself.

“It never crossed my mind,” George, 61, who lives in New York, tells TODAY.com.

“I’m sure like most men, if we have any thoughts about cancer at all, we might think about lung cancer, if you’re a smoker, or prostate cancer.”

But after dismissing a breast symptom for months before getting the diagnosis this summer and undergoing a mastectomy, he’s warning other men and especially Black men: “It can happen to you,” he says.

Male breast cancer is rare, making up fewer than 1% of all cases of the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute. For men, the lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is 1 in 833, compared to 1 in 8 for

women.

But breast cancer incidence rates are 52% higher in Black men than white men, the American Cancer Society noted, citing a 2019 study. The reasons are unknown.

High profile Black male breast cancer survivors include Mathew Knowles, the father of singer Beyoncé; “Shaft” actor Richard Roundtree and former NFL star Ernie Green.

Male breast cancer symptoms For George, the ordeal started with a vague warning sign.

About a year ago, he noticed a mild irritation under his left nipple that he thought was an ingrown chest hair.

“It wasn’t a lump,” he says. “It wasn’t something I was conscious of on a daily basis. I would occasionally notice it when I was in the shower.”

Scaly, red, irritated or swollen skin on the breast, nipple or areola can be one of the symptoms of male breast cancer, though men will usually have lumps that can be felt, the

National Cancer Institute notes.

Other warning signs include dimpling of the breast skin, nipple discharge, nipple pain, a nipple turned inward, or a change in the size or shape of the breast.

Male breast cancer treatment Months after he first noticed the irritation on his breast, George mentioned it to his primary care physician in June. The doctor thought it was probably a subcutaneous cyst, but ordered a sonogram. The sonogram specialist also thought it was a cyst. So

did a surgeon George was referred to, but she ordered a mammogram just to be sure.

A biopsy was recommended and the results came back in August: It was breast cancer.

“I knew that breast cancer in men happens. You know that it’s rare and you say to yourself, ‘Wow, I hit the reverse lottery,’” George says.

“It’s obviously troubling and disturbing.”

George underwent a mastectomy of his left breast on Sept. 12. While women with breast cancer can often opt for a lumpec-

tomy where only part of the breast is removed, that surgery is used much less often in men because most male breast cancers are located behind the nipple and require a mastectomy, the American Cancer Society notes.

Surgeons also removed the lymph nodes under George’s arm after finding traces of the disease there.

It meant he had stage 2 breast cancer. He will undergo radiation and possibly chemotherapy.

Male breast cancer risk factors Genetic testing revealed George doesn’t have mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which can significantly increase the risk of developing cancer.

But a family history of breast cancer is a risk factor for men, as is getting older, having a disease linked to high levels of estrogen in the body, such as liver cirrhosis; or having obesity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

George wants other men to know breast cancer is not just something to be

concerned about “in the context of your girlfriend, your wife, your partner or other female relatives.”

He shared his story on social media to raise awareness and urges men to be aware of their body. If you notice anything unusual on your breasts, not just a lump, don’t just dismiss it — get it checked out, he says.

As a standup comedian, George has incorporated his diagnosis into his act.

“This experience is certainly giving me a lot of material, even though I’m technically working with a lot less material,” he says while pointing to his chest.

“If you’re a comedian, the thing you most often want is stage time. However, stage 2 time is not exactly what I was looking for.”

The lines are “a little bit dark,” he says, but “I felt the need to express it — to share my truth. even in a comedic setting.”

Something to Consider:

Being Intentional With Our Lives

By: Brenda Cochran Contributing Writer Being Intentional means making deliberate choices to reflect what is most important to us.

Becoming intentional can help us to maintain positive mindsets, reach goals, experience more clarity and be more present. It can also increase our focus and commitment and add more purpose and meaning to our lives.

Basically, being intentional is about bringing a commitment, and focus to something that is important to you. If you are interested in being intentional, you should be clear about what you want to achieve and then take the action needed in achieving it. It is a capability you can increase each day and it can easily change your life.

There are many people who want to move their lives forward and also progress each day, so being intentional about what is important to you and then taking action on those things will be two of the important guiding qualities.

One of the positive attributes about being intentional is that it is helpful in becoming more present and achieve bigger and greater goals in not only your business, but in your life.

When you are intentional, you bring a clearer purpose, structure, and a positive mindset to your day. It also means having the ability to see the specific results in the future that, if you achieve them, they will make things bigger for yourself, for your business and even more – your life. Having an intentional focus is about thinking about your life and business that is committed, purposeful, and deliberate.

Additional insight is that when you are intentional, you have a tendency to make decisions and you also take the necessary steps to what is really important to you. You are

Brenda Cochran also clear upfront to what you want to achieve.

The following are six ways to be intentional every day: 1) Be deliberate with your day. When you are intentional with your time, your energy, and focus each day, the more you are likely to achieve the results you are looking for. Being intentional with your time, ensures you that you have a clear structure for your day and allows you to establish the routines that support your goals. When you have greater direction and purpose, then you know exactly where you should devote your time and your attention. In other words, your time is aligned with your bigger purpose which increases creativity and productivity.

2) Being more deliberate with your day, you should identify three important activities that will help in achieving exactly what you want. This will ensure that you will feel proud about what you have achieved, which will boost your confidence and also will increase self-esteem.

3) You should further be clear about the results that you want. You can increase your intentionality by getting clarity on the measurable results you want to increase in the future.

To be more intentional, will get clear up front about the outcome you want and with powerful goal setting and then picture yourself having achieved those goals and their importance.

5) Be purposeful about your time. Being intentional is all about being purposeful with your time to help you achieve those most important goals.

When you are intentional with your time, you have a clear structure for your day and you also establish positive daily habits. Those people who are intentional with their time understand the importance of their time and look to achieve their goals in the simplest, easier, and fastest way possible.

6) Be considerate with your focus. Intentionality increases your focus on the things that are most important to you and also helps you better understand the importance and the purpose of your bigger vision and directs your mind and action to help toward achieving it.

When you focus on being intentional every day, you will feel clearer, more capable, and more confident.

Remember being purposeful and deliberate builds a more positive mindset and helps you to be more present in the moment and gives your life greater clarity and meaning.

Here are quotes about being intentional: “Excellence is never an accident, it is always the result of high intentions, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives, choice, not chance determines your destiny.” (Aristotle) “Intentional days create a life on purpose.”

Sinclair Community College Receives Federal Funding to Launch Student Careers in Industrial Maintenance

Sinclair was awarded nearly $2 million through the Building Pathways to Infrastructure Jobs Grant Program.

Continued from Page 1

Sinclair Community College has been awarded nearly $2 million dollars in federal funding through the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Building Pathways to Infrastructure Jobs Grant Program.

Sinclair Community College will use the funding to develop and implement the Amplify Industrial Maintenance (AIM) program. The program will focus on recruiting, training, and retaining Industrial Maintenance Technicians through registered apprenticeships, providing academic and career coaching, and offering supportive services. Sinclair Community College will also work with industry partners including United Grinding North America, Inc., VEGA Americas, Sonoco, DMAX Ltd., and the Dayton Region Manufacturers Association.

“Sinclair Community College is proud to be a part of this national initiative that will provide vital education and on-the-job training for individuals pursuing careers in industrial maintenance while meeting the workforce demands of employers in the region,” said Dr. Kathleen Cleary, Senior Vice President of Workforce Solutions – Sinclair Community College. “This funding signifies a substantial investment in education and workforce development, and we look forward to developing the AIM apprenticeship program that will be tailored to the needs of students and employers.”

The Building Pathways to Infrastructure Jobs Grant Program will help grant recipients de-

sign, develop, and grow training programs and work-based learning opportunities that prepare job seekers for highdemand, high-quality career pathways in advanced manufacturing, information technology and professional, scientific, and technical service occupations.

“We look forward to working with our grantees to help to strengthen and expand our workforce to provide opportunities for good-paying, family-sustaining jobs,” said Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su. Sinclair’s AIM program will focus on equipping apprentices with the technical skills, knowledge, and handson experience necessary to excel in the field of industrial maintenance.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall employment in industrial maintenance is projected to grow 13% through the year 2032. Approximately 49,000 openings are projected each year over the decade.

Through the Building Pathways to Infrastructure Jobs Grant Program, the DOL awarded nearly $94 million in grants to support 34 public-private partnerships to provide workercentered sector strategy training programs in 25 states and the District of Columbia to meet workforce needs. Sinclair Community College is the only higher education institution in Ohio to be selected for the grant program.

performed their community service in an excellent, compassionate, organized manner with smiles on their faces and a willingness to return.

They expressed gratitude for the opportunity to volunteer, utilizing their time and energy to make a difference in the lives of those in need who are served by St. Vincent de Paul.

Engaging students in community service provides them with the opportunity to become active members of their community. They learn having a sense of community unites us and that they are a part of something greater than themselves. Engaging in community service

activities boosts their selfconfidence, self-esteem, and gives them a sense of pride and positive identity.

It also helps them to develop life skills such as leadership, communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and time management. Research shows that students who give back to their community perform better in school and are most likely to graduate from high school.

High school students in grades 9th-12th are invited to become members of the LOT program. The program focuses on Career Preparation, College Preparedness, Financial Literacy, Leadership, and Life Skills. Registration fees are taken care of by the local chapter. For ad-

ditional information or an application contact Carol Prewitt, Director at daytonLOT1@gmail.com.

SOUL II SOUL INFLUENCE: LOVE YOUR ENEMIES 10172023 Pastor/Chaplain Pamelajune (Pj) Anderson, DMin. Lt. Commander (RET) USN Chaplain Corps TFAM National Veteran’s Support Chaplain Certified Peer Support Specialist BE STILL AND YOUR SOUL WILL SPEAK

“If you’re listening, here’s My message: Keep loving your enemies no matter what they do. Keep doing good to those who hate you. 28 Keep speaking blessings on those who curse you. Keep praying for those who mistreat you.

Luke 6: 27-28 The Voice Translation Dear Lord Jesus and eternal Friend, my fellow Veterans and I are often viewed as the enemy by the opposition when on active duty, and we have been treated as the enemy by commanders who don’t want us among them anyway.

Regarding promotions, most white supremacists and a few supremacists of color practice bigotry toward service members of color, especially Black service members. Even as Officers, we are often treated poorly and passed over for opportunities, raises, and special services.

Serving as a Chaplain, I did my best to remember to love my seniors and respect my juniors and enlisted sailors. The better and more efficient I became at fulfilling my duties and honoring everyone equally, the more I was harassed about servicing LGBT sailors.

I often speculate about false prophets, then and now. Only to discover that false prophets are aware of their intent to be deceitful. And the only way to Be informed of who they are is to be well-versed about who Jesus is and follow in His footsteps. To acknowledge Him as the only begotten Son of God who died on Calvary’s cross, was buried in a borrowed tomb, and rose again on the third day. Who else shows us godly love?

Because Jesus kept His promise to send us God’s Holy Spirit, we are to be Holy Spirit-filled to distinguish between His Truth and false prophets and have His Power to love as He loves, especially our enemies.

Next, let’s look at “Who is the Holy Spirit?” to be learned and experienced.

OHSAA Track and Field NCAA Investigating Allegations of Sign-Stealing By No. 2 Michigan State Tournament No. 2 Michigan said Moving to Dayton for Thursday it has been notified by the NCAA that the 2024 football program is being Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium to undergo complete replacement of track beginning in May COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced that the 2024 track and field state tournament will be held at Welcome Stadium in Dayton. The track at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium at The Ohio State University will be removed in May and replaced with a new track that will take several months to complete.

Welcome Stadium hosted the OHSAA track and field state tournament from 1999-2003 after the track was removed from Ohio Stadium in Columbus.

Dayton Public Schools recently completed a $34 million renovation project at Welcome Stadium that included a new track, football field, press box, concourse and locker rooms.

The track and field state tournament will return to Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in 2025 and 2026 to complete the current three-year contract. Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium has hosted the state tournament since 2004, with the exceptions of 2020, when the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2021, when each division was held at a high school in central Ohio.

"We are excited and honored to be hosting the 2024 State Track Tournament at Welcome Stadium," said Dayton Public Schools Interim Superintendent Dr. David Lawrence. "The district and community

have invested a lot into the stadium renovation project, and it is rewarding to now be hosting a state tournament as a result of those efforts. As a former participant in the state track meet and avid fan of track and field, it brings great joy to host the meet in our newly renovated and state-of-the-art facility."

The track and field state tournament is scheduled for May 31 and June 1, 2024.

“We are very impressed with the renovations at Welcome Stadium,” said Doug Ute, OHSAA Executive Director. “It’s great to see what Dayton Public Schools has done to the facility and they were very excited right away when we called. We are fortunate that the timing of these construction projects lined up so that Welcome Stadium was ready to host before Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium was unavailable.”

“We, at Ohio State, are moving forward with a complete track replacement at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium,” said Mike Penner, Executive Associate Athletics Director for Internal Operations. “Construction will take place from May to September 2024. Unfortunately, we will not be able to host the 2024 State Track Meet, but we look forward to hosting again in 2025 and beyond.”

More information including event schedules, meet management details, etc. will be shared at a later date.

investigated for allegedly stealing signs.

“The university is fully cooperating with the Big Ten and NCAA. The investigation is ongoing and will not impact Saturday’s game,” the university said in a statement. “At the University of Michigan, we are committed to the highest ethical and integrity standards for all members of our community.”

The Wolverines (7-0) play at Michigan State on Saturday.

The Big Ten also announced the investigation, but provided no further details, only to say that it had notified Michigan's upcoming opponents about the investigation.

"The Big Ten Conference considers the integrity of competition to be of utmost importance and

will continue to monitor the investigation," the Big Ten said in a statement.

The NCAA does not have rules specifically against stealing signs but does prohibit in-person advanced scouting of opponents and also does have bylaws prohibiting unsportsmanlike activities.

Michigan has been crossing path with the NCAA on a regular basis over the last year.

An NCAA investigation into impermissible contact with recruits by Jim Harbaugh led Michigan to self-impose a threegame suspension on the Wolverines' head coach earlier this year. Harbaugh

missed Michigan's first three games.

That case has not yet been resolved as the NCAA's committee on infractions rejected a potential negotiated settlement regarding Harbaugh's involvement in the case based on his cooperation with investigators.

Once Prominent Shopping Center Up For Auction, Could Soon Get New Life...

Continued from Page 1 gomery of Collier's International, who is listed as a broker, told the Dayton Business Journal in an email.

The auction will end on Nov. 15.

In 2015, Las Vegasbased Moonbeam Leasing and Management LLC had plans to redevelop the property. The goal of the project was to bring

new retailers to lease the vacant storefronts in the shopping plaza.

However, it seems those plans have stalled.

Moonbeam was not immediately available for comment.

The property also suffered damage during the 2019 Memorial Day tornadoes, Montgomery said.

The shopping center

still has some tenants, including The Honey Baked Ham and SherwinWilliams. Additionally, it is near several national retail brands and restaurants, like McDonald's, The Home Depot, Lowe's, Burger King, Big Lots, Dollar Tree, Subway and Family Dollar.

Salem Consumer Square is one of the largest shop-

ping centers in the region, according to DBJ research, ranking at No. 15.

Built in 1988, the shopping center sits about 18 minutes from downtown Dayton.

More than 313,000 people live within 10 miles of the property, according to the listing.

Honoring and Remembering Loved Ones: Ohio’s Hospice Offers Holiday Grief Support Program

Renal Insufficiency in the Elderly

Renal insufficiency is a real problem in the elderly. When kidney function diminishes over time, specifically during the aging process, a host of problems and symptoms can happen.

Caregivers must have a working knowledge of the potential consequences of this condition and be proactive in real-time.

Renal insufficiency is defined as a decline in kidney function where the filtering of waste products from the blood and the removal of surplus fluids is abnormal (Mayo Clinic 2023).

As we age, many of our organs are aging with us and the kidneys are no exception. What is most important to learn is why and how this diagnosis is uncovered. There are several chronic conditions that can create the problem, which begs the importance of knowing the medical conditions of your loved ones.

Caregiving is more than managing the activities of daily living (bathing, feeding, clothing & bedtime shenanigans).

Causes of Renal Insufficiency Chronic diseases are the mainstay of renal insufficiency in our ag-

ing population. Diabetes, heart disease, dehydration, and high blood pressure are four of the major diagnoses. Dehydration, caused by hot temperatures, should be addressed immediately.

Each of these conditions has clear signs and symptoms that will alert you to pay attention. This is also why I stress the need to examine your loved one’s body, head to toe, and listen to what your loved ones say daily!

When you do this, changes in conditions can be detected early. Early detection is key to addressing many situations.

What should you look out for?

What should you look out for in your loved one regarding renal insufficiency? Signs and symptoms you may see are: • Thirst

• Weakness • Tiredness • Fatigue • Decrease in urine output • Swelling in ankles, legs, and feet • Rings around legs, if socks are worn • Shortness of breath with activity • More severe cases, confusion • Lethargy All of the aforementioned symptoms should not be taken lightly.

Renal insufficiency, if not addressed, can lead to a life-altering lifestyle called dialysis.

Ensure you are speaking with your healthcare professional about any concerns around kidney health.
