PECO kicks off fan giveaway as Pennsylvania officials announce 2025 heat plan
With summer just around the corner, staying cool can be a challenge, especially when you don't have air conditioning. Some of the most vulnerable people in the Philadelphia area are getting some much-needed relief. PECO distributes 600 free box fans at senior centers in Philadelphia and surrounding counties. It's an annual summer tradition. "It's fantastic," Ellen Lucchetti, an 89-year-old from Springfield, said. "It's wonderful. It helps my budget." Volunteers loaded the fans into a van at the County Office of Services for the Aging in Eddystone and brought some to the Schoolhouse Senior Center in Folsom on Tuesday. "I'm just grateful," Joy Adams, a 77-year-old from Glenolden, said. "The fans work out great for me because I don't get cold and can take them from room to room, and it's just a big plus." The fan giveaway kicked off as Delaware County officials announced details of their 2025 Heat Plan. Officials plan to send text messages to alert residents when there is extreme heat. The Delaware County Health Department runs a wellness line seniors can call to get tips on staying cool. The wellness line phone number is 484-276-2100. The line is open Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. In addition to responding to phone calls, the wellness line team also responds to email inquiries at DelcoWellness@ "While many Delaware County residents will be able to escape the heat with air conditioning, a trip to the pool or down to the shore, far too many of our older and more vulnerable residents simply don't have that option," Delaware County Council Chair Monica Taylor said. Any Delaware County resident age 60 and older can pick up a free fan with ID at the Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging, located at 1510 Chester Pike in Eddystone. The free fans will also be distributed at the following eight senior centers:

Cancer could be detected three years before diagnosis with experimental blood test
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University say they have uncovered an advanced method for detecting cancer. A new study, published in the journal Cancer Discovery and partly funded by the National Institutes of Health, found that genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years prior to a cancer diagnosis. The researchers analyzed plasma samples from a large Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study to assess risk factors for heart attack, stroke, heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases, according to a press release. Blood samples were analyzed from 26 participants who were diagnosed with cancer within six months of sample collection, and 26 who were not diagnosed with cancer. Out of these 52 participants, eight scored positively on a multi-cancer early detection (MCED) lab test and were diagnosed with cancer within four months following blood collection. MCED tests are an experimental type of cancer screening that looks for signs of multiple types of cancer at the same time, according to the American Cancer Society. These signs may include pieces of DNA, RNA or proteins from abnormal cells. For six of these eight individuals, researchers were able to assess additional blood samples that were collected 3.1 to 3.5 years prior to diagnosis. In four samples, researchers identified tumor-derived mutations (genetic alterations within cancer cells). Lead study author Yuxuan Wang, MD, PhD, assistant professor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, shared in a statement that investigators were surprised by the outcomes. "Three years earlier provides time for intervention," she said. "The tumors are likely to be much less advanced and more likely to be curable." For more Health articles, visit Senior study author Bert Vogelstein, MD, Clayton Professor of Oncology and co-director of the Ludwig Center at Johns Hopkins, said the study shows "the promise of MCED tests in detecting cancers very early, and sets the benchmark sensitivities required for their success." Detecting cancer years before a clinical diagnosis could help "provide management with a more favorable outcome," noted senior author Nickolas Papadopoulos, PhD, professor of oncology and Ludwig Center investigator. "Of course, we need to determine the appropriate clinical follow-up after a positive test for such cancers," he added. Fox News Digital reached out to Johns Hopkins for comment.

Pixar's ‘Elio' Shines With Sci-Fi Sincerity and Heart
Elio is Pixar at its most original, delivering an extraordinary journey filled with wholehearted sci-fi wonder. Director Domee Shi and co-director Madeline Sharafian craft a timeless coming-of-age adventure that's a solid follow-up to their fan fave Turning Red, marking a new standard for Pixar stories. Through its main character's close encounter, the film cleverly broaches the resonating experience of feeling alone against a backdrop of imaginative visuals illustrating the universe's enormity. It captures the desire we have to find meaning not just across the stars but in the face of loss, which can feel just as isolating as being lost in space. It's what Elio (Yonas Kibreab) feels when he's taken in by his aunt Olga (Zoe Saldaña) as he goes through the unimaginable pain of losing his parents at a young age. His existential trauma plays into his hyper-fixation with aliens and getting beamed away from his troubles on Earth, which include a few bullies and being made fun of for making crop circles in the sand. Meanwhile his aunt, who works on military base as a space debris tracker, masks her grief by throwing herself into work to provide for her nephew. Elio's life takes a turn when his dreams are realized and he makes first contact with aliens through his prototypical radio signal device. It's very endearingly Amblin in that way, having kids on a base running around and getting their hands on government tech to get inventive while bored. It's how Elio almost befriends a fellow military kid, but he just happens to get beamed up alone before they get in trouble. It's from here that Elio kind of gets everything he wanted: he's transported to the hub of the Communiverse, a galactic alliance of the most peaceful lifeforms in space that has mistaken Elio as Earth's representative petitioning membership. However, an encounter with the domineering Lord Grigon (Brad Garrett) sees Elio whisked into an adventure he could never have imagined, forced to stand up against Grigon's hostile attempts to join the Communiverse by force. Finding himself making friends with Grigon's estranged son Glordon (Remy Edgerly), Elio has to save the day and learn how to form a bond with his unlikely new friend—and realize that some traumas are universal experiences, whether it's for humans or aliens. The developing bond between these two young kids from literally different worlds is what gives Elio its excellent heart, one that shines alongside the spectacle of its lush imagining of a sci-fi universe. The film is filled with gorgeous details, but one of the best visual gags has a touching resonance with the film's wider themes, in a scene where clones of Elio and Glordon are returned to their loved ones to take their place, hoping to go undetected. This best-laid plan falls hilariously apart as the guardians re-evaluate their own journeys through grief opposite the impostor kids, mirroring their own experiences to the young boys. That said, it's also paradoxically a moment that features a quick move to something that feels legitimately spooky and gross for a Pixar movie—perhaps a genre the studio could explore at a later date. Shi and the animator's choices to really emphasize and stylize the way Elio's characters convey raw emotions through a fuller range across their faces, which we first saw in Turning Red, that shines on full display here. Glordon doesn't even have eyes and I was sobbing at his pure innocence. The character designs have really evolved and continue to elevate Pixar's signature expressiveness, and Kibreab and Edgerly's chemistry anchors the film to deliver a heartwarming tale of grief and friendship. Elio ties it all together culminating in a powerfully moving and awe-inspiring reminder that life with those we love is such a worthwhile experience. Yes, you will shed those Pixar tears, but mostly in a feel-good way because of the sheer abundance of wonder the movie evokes. Elio traverses a universe of overwhelming vastness that's presented as both beautiful and hard to feel a part of no matter how old you are. And that at our core anyone deserves to find community; whether it's near or far, people just have to reach out to each other. Elio opens in theaters June 20.
