'I'm not too happy about a possible smell and more traffic, like we don't have enough with Bucces,' Bryan Coberly said, a Park Layne resident for 30 years.
Coberly has witnessed various developments on Dayton Lakeview Road over the years, including a driving range where he used to play with his son.
More recently, the land in question was used for community soccer games, which Coberly believes should continue to host community events rather than waste transfer operations.
'Mainly, it's the traffic. It's just too much traffic out here anymore,' he said.
The facility is expected to be operational in late 2025, according to the project's website.

5 Stages In A Dying Marriage Explained By Experts
When a marriage is in decline, it tends to follow a predictable pattern. Knowing what to look for can help you repair your relationship before it's too late. Becky Whetstone, an Arkansas marriage and family therapist and the author of the forthcoming book I (Think) I Want Out, has spent more than 20 years counseling couples. She wrote her Ph.D. dissertation at St. Mary's University in San Antonio on the stages of a deteriorating marriage. 'This is the most important thing couples could know,' Whetstone told HuffPost via email. '[It's] similar to understanding cancer symptoms, the stages of cancer and early detection.' While doing research for her dissertation, she came across the work of sociologist Diane Vaughan, the author of Uncoupling: Turning Points in Intimate Relationships. In her 1986 book, Vaughan delineated the various stages, or turning points, that individuals go through when ending a relationship. After interviewing more than 100 people about their breakups, Vaughan discovered that most splits followed a very similar trajectory. 'When I read it, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, why don't people know about this?'' Whetstone said. Then, Whetstone conducted her own in-depth interviews with a set of subjects, hoping to find some 'common patterns' in the dissolution of their relationships, she said. 'When I did my own research, interviewing 11 subjects for two hours apiece and asking them all the same exact questions, I wasn't thinking about Vaughan's stages at all,' she said. 'I was looking for common patterns in what my subjects told me and was open to anything. But, lo and behold, Vaughan's stages revealed themselves.' These stages are mostly experienced internally, occurring in the mind of the 'decider' (the individual who's initiating the breakup), Whetstone explained. Often, this person doesn't voice their relationship concerns to their partner until late in the process. 'Unfortunately, unhappy partners keep the extent of what is going on a secret from their spouse until it is almost too late,' Whetstone said. 'It's so important that partners stay in touch and let the other know when they are struggling.' Below are five stages of a dying marriage outlined by Whetstone. The first four align with some of Vaughan's findings, while the fifth is one that Whetstone discovered in her own research, she said. The first stage, known as the disillusionment phase, is when one person recognizes that they're unhappy in their relationship, but they decide to take a wait-and-see approach. 'They mull it over and say, 'You know, relationships have ups and downs, and I'll just see how this goes and see if my feelings change,'' Whetstone said. But as Vaughan told The Washington Post in a 1986 interview: 'When you keep secrets that have to do with the relationship ― things that make you unhappy, things that can be fixed ― a breach is begun. ... It widens the gap.' The second stage is the erosion phase. This is when one partner realizes that the unhappiness is not just going away and is serious enough that it could lead to divorce. Still, they dismiss the idea of splitting up for a number of reasons — because of kids, finances, reputation, religion, values or 'whatever it is they don't want to lose,' Whetstone said. 'The cracks begin to show,' she said. 'They may make sarcastic remarks to their spouse, complain, get an attitude, or roll their eyes, but whatever it is, it stays between them.' In other words, this person might make snide comments toward their spouse, but only behind closed doors — not in front of other people, Whetstone noted. The third stage is known as the detachment phase, in which a person pulls away from their partner emotionally and looks for things outside of the marriage to help them cope. That might mean investing time in a hobby, a workout regimen or even having an affair, Whetstone said. But this person is still not willing to end the relationship. 'So, they make a deal with themself: I can stay married if I find something outside the marriage and away from my partner that brings me satisfaction,' Whetstone explained. 'They are focusing more and more on their unhappiness, seeing every little negative thing and becoming more blind to the things they once enjoyed.' By this stage, the hostility starts to become apparent to folks outside of the relationship. 'The poisonous feelings seep out in front of others,' said Whetstone. At this point, a person's tolerance for their partner continues to dwindle and the marriage moves into the fourth stage, known as 'The Straw.' Whetstone described it as 'a day when their spouse says or does something that gives them sudden clarity that they can't be married to someone' who would do that thing. 'At this moment, they emotionally unplug, turn their back on the marriage and refuse to cooperate or go along, pretending they are happy,' she explained. The straw that breaks the camel's back might be something that's big, small or seemingly innocent, Whetstone said. But for the disgruntled spouse, everything has changed. 'They will either decide to end the relationship altogether, make a pronouncement of their thinking they want a divorce or emotionally disconnect,' Whetstone said. Rubberball/Mike Kemp / Getty Images In Whetstone's research, she uncovered a fifth stage, which she refers to as death of the marriage. 'Or at least death of what has been going on before, as the spouse will not go back to the way things were,' she said. At this point, divorce is likely, she said, 'but it is possible that a future with their partner can be found under the right circumstances.' The status quo, however, is 'forever off the table,' she added. How — And When — To Salvage The Relationship Whetstone advises couples to start counseling when they hit the erosion stage — the point when they recognize there are issues that won't resolve on their own. 'Letting the resentment pile up makes it exceedingly difficult to help them later,' she said. What gets in the way of early intervention? Too many people mistakenly believe that couples therapy is reserved for 'really bad, damaged marriages,' Whetstone said, when that's just not true. Small issues can snowball into much bigger and trickier ones if ignored. Northern California therapist Kurt Smith, who specializes in counseling men, said that when it comes to starting couples therapy, 'the sooner, the better.' 'Sadly, most wait until it's almost too late, and for some it is,' he told HuffPost. 'Often they finally go when they're close to calling a divorce lawyer — or already have.' That's why Smith recommends seeking counseling proactively rather than reactively. 'As soon as you start seeing signs of a potential problem you can't fix yourselves, go,' he said. 'At this stage it's much quicker, cheaper and has much better results.' The adage 'time fixes everything' doesn't apply to marriages on the rocks, Smith said. ''Let's just give it some time' is an avoidance, and sometimes a power play,' he continued. 'Don't accept it. In addition to time, you also have to add strategies and effort to the mix to bring about real change, especially change that lasts. Be smart and be willing to admit when you can't fix it yourself.' What if your partner won't go to marriage counseling? Then go without them, Smith said. 'Marriages can change even if only one person is trying,' he said. 'Ultimately, do you need both partners participating? Sure. But you can get started without them. And often when you do, they'll join you at some point.' HuffPost.

Why You Feel Guilty For Not Working On Vacation
When you normalize real time off, you model something healthier. You finally take a break. You turn on your out-of-office message, log out of your inbox and set your phone to silent. But within a day, something creeps in. You think about the project you left unfinished. You wonder if your team is struggling. You feel a quiet pull to check in. Not because you have to. Because you feel like you should. This is the guilt of not working on vacation. It is common. It is subtle. And for many high performers, it is relentless. Even when you have earned the time away, even when nothing is expected of you, the absence of work creates its own kind of tension. That tension is not about laziness. It is about identity. It is about pressure. And it is about how deeply we have internalized the idea that rest must be justified. Work Is No Longer a Place In the past, vacation meant leaving work physically behind. When you were out of the office, you were unreachable. The only connection to your job was a voicemail message and maybe a fax machine. Work ended at a door. Now, work travels with you. It lives in your pocket. It pings your screen. It follows you to the beach and the dinner table and the hotel lobby. You can be on holiday and still respond within minutes. So when you choose not to, it feels like a decision you have to defend. This is not just about technology. It is about how the boundaries around work have blurred. We no longer measure commitment by presence. We measure it by responsiveness. And responsiveness is always possible. When work is everywhere, rest feels like resistance. And that resistance can start to feel like failure. Guilt Is a Product of Culture Many workplaces celebrate overcommitment. People are praised for working late. For answering emails during dinner. For 'jumping on a quick call' while on holiday. These actions are seen as dedication. But they are often symptoms of guilt. That guilt is reinforced by silence. If you take a break and no one covers for you, you feel like a burden. If your absence creates pressure for others, you feel like a slacker. If someone sends a message and you do not reply, you feel like you are letting them down. In cultures where being always available is normal, taking real time off can feel selfish. Or even unprofessional. You start to think less about what you need and more about how your absence is being perceived. The guilt builds not because you are doing something wrong, but because you are doing something different. Your Value Is Not Measured by Presence One reason vacation guilt hits so hard is that many people tie their worth to their output. You are seen as reliable, so you are always available. You are known as efficient, so you reply quickly. You are respected because you deliver. When you stop doing those things, even temporarily, a question lingers. Will people think you care less? Will your value slip? Will your absence create doubts about your role? These questions are rarely voiced. But they sit beneath the surface. And they often lead to small compromises. A quick message here. A few emails there. Just enough to show that you are still around. Still useful. Still important. But rest is not absence. It is recovery. And your value does not disappear just because your notifications do. Time Off Is Not Something You Have to Earn Again Many professionals approach time off like a debt. You take it, but you feel like you have to pay it back. You stay up late the night before to get ahead. You return to double the workload to make up for being gone. You promise yourself you will catch up as soon as you are back. This mindset makes vacation feel transactional. You are not resting. You are borrowing time with interest. And that interest gets paid in guilt. But rest is not a luxury. It is not indulgent. It is part of the job. It is what sustains performance. You cannot do your best work if you are never allowed to step away from it. When you normalize real time off, you model something healthier. You show your team that recovery is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of professionalism. And you prove to yourself that your worth is not based on constant activity. You do not need to apologize for taking a break. You need to protect it.
