This time of year also marks another significant event, the upcoming elections. The political sphere is abuzz with many topics of the economy, unemployment rates, reproductive issues and immigration. We look to the election as a chance for reform, change or new beginnings locally and nationally. This issue we chose to focus on the Dream Act and the more recent development Deferred Action and how it affects millions of people and families. With so many events and holidays lined up for the fall, don’t forget October 27 marks the 10th annual Rubber Ducky Festival at Bridgeport Park. Get into action, have fun with the family and support a great cause, the Samuel Dixon Family Health Centers, by adopting a duck, or two. Politics, cloud computing, holidays and fun. Fall is a busy time around the valley for everyone, including the staff of Our Valleys Magazine. On that note, we wish you safe and happy fall season and hope you enjoy this issue
