1. It's World Space Week. Get to know Ohio astronauts in Dispatch stories (thisweeknews.com) — A Dayton-born astronaut, Charles A. Bassett II, is among several Ohio-connected space pioneers highlighted in a Columbus Dispatch series for World Space Week. The coverage revisits how astronauts with roots in Dayton and across Ohio helped shape major U.S. space missions, and invites readers to explore in-depth profiles celebrating the state's outsized role in space exploration.
2. Neighbor voices concerns after body found in fire debris (whio.com) — A Jefferson Township home on Calumet Lane that burned on October 2 is now the center of a death investigation after fire crews discovered a body in the debris. Montgomery County deputies were already probing a missing person case tied to the address, leaving neighbors near Dayton anxious and full of questions. Investigators, including the state fire marshal, are still determining what happened.
3. Video Premiere: Narcotic Wasteland (decibelmagazine.com) — Metal band Narcotic Wasteland is heading to Dayton as part of its U.S. tour, with a December 18 show scheduled at the Gem.

4. Diesel prices hit beyond the pump (dayton247now.com) — Drivers in Dayton and across Ohio are seeing some relief after the state temporarily suspended its gas tax and the federal government paused diesel excise taxes, though diesel still averages about $6 a gallon. AAA warns that high diesel costs are still pushing up prices for groceries, shipping, restaurants and farm operations, meaning Dayton households may feel the impact at the checkout line for some time.
