City looking Homecoming smiles at business M center plan by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
The City of Brentwood is calling on all local business owners and entrepreneurs to give input about a potential plan to bring a business development center to the area.

Jessica Buscho recently participated in the Delta Harvest Run while undergoing her latest round of chemotherapy. The 34-year-old mother of three is hoping to raise awareness around the rise of colon cancer in adults under 40 and urging people to get screened.
Previously a third-place winner of the 2011 Delta Harvest Run, Jessica Buscho crossed the finish line this year third from last, but it’s an accomplishment that rings with determination, spirit and the hope to bring awareness to her disease. As a young mother of three, a long-distance runner, a vegetarian and an overall health enthusiast, Jessica Buscho was the last person one would expect to be diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer at 34 years old. Now she’s on a mission to spread an important message to the community – get screened, because colon cancer does not care how old you are.

Through her journey, she has come to learn this disease can begin with no symptoms at all and it’s on the rise in adults under 40. Since the routine screening for colon cancer begins much later in life, people under 55 are 58 percent more likely to be diagnosed with latestage colon cancer than those over 55. Prior to her diagnosis, Buscho, a Brentwood resident, dealt with anemia and took supplements to combat low iron levels. She began to feel she was taking too many and reduced the amount. But when she started feeling more tired than usual, she went to the doctor for basic blood work. The hospital called in the middle of the night. see Runner page 30
