Subject: I'm with Ted

I just pitched in to Ted Strickland's campaign for Senate!

Ted Strickland is running for Senate to stop the squeeze on our middle class and fight for Ohio's working people — but he needs our help to continue fighting back against Karl Rove, the Koch brothers, and their shadowy special interests that don't care about the hardworking families of Ohio.

1.      Will you support Ted with a $5 donation too? Donate now: https://secure.tedstrickland.com/?sc=ems.receipt
2.      Then follow the campaign on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tedstrickland

I know that Ted's the right leader for Ohio. I hope you'll join me.

Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park is proud to support science innovation and celebrate the National Park Service Centennial by hosting a stop on the American Solar Challenge.  University teams from around the world designed and built solar-powered cars that will go through a series of tests on a closed track. Teams that qualify will drive their cars 1,975 miles on the open road during an 8-day rally, stopping at 9 different National Park Service sites in 7 states.

Solar cars competing in the 2016 American Solar Challenge will race to Carillon Historical Park in partnership with Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park.  Depending on traffic, weather, and energy management decisions made by each of the teams, the solar cars are expected to arrive between 1:30-6:00 pm at Carillon Historical Park. Each solar car will stay on display at the checkpoint for 45-minutes before continuing on the route.  Visitors are invited to see the cars and enjoy the other activities, including discovering how climate change impacts the Midwest, making sun-heated s'mores, and finding out how solar energy works by creating solar cars, planes, and other solar powered devices. The event is free and open to the public.

Mediation

The Dayton Medication Center provides a place for citizens who have a complaint about an experience with a Dayton Police Officer to have a conversation. These complaints may be about police discourtesy or rudeness during an interaction with an officer. The conversations allow the officer and citizen to sit down with a mediator and discuss the events that led up to the complaint and can help citizens talk about the experience with the officer, clear up misunderstanding and miscommunications, or result in a mutual understanding of the situation.
