SILVER CREEK, N.Y. — A crowd of about 70 residents poured into the cozy and welcoming Anderson-Lee Library to pay tribute to and celebrate an important connection to the community and Western New York. For nearly a decade, the library has commemorated November as Native American Heritage ...
Now that the midterm election results are in, I find myself thinking about what voters have said and what those results might mean for the future of our country, and perhaps even for the future of the Republican Party. Democrats have won control of both the House and the Senate, delivering a significant rebuke to Donald Trump and his administration. While the results are certainly a political victory for Democrats, I believe the meaning of this election reaches beyond one party winning and another losing. A conservative-leaning friend recently suggested that these elections might mark ...
When someone needs prenatal care, the ability to get an appointment should not depend on how many clinicians happen to practice nearby. Yet across Pennsylvania, too many families face that uncertainty. In a statewide maternal health survey conducted by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, 22% of respondents who needed maternal health care said they had delayed it at least once.

Delays in prenatal care can mean missed ...
Armed with $42 million in funding courtesy of the Defense Production Act, Energy Secretary Chris Wright is hoping to kick-start construction of the long-delayed Constitution Pipeline that would transport natural gas from Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale to the energy-starved Northeast.

The pipeline, if constructed, will serve the entire region and enable the Northeast’s ...
Halloween 2026 is history, but the spooks are still standing on many front lawns. You know the ones – the 12-foot skeletons that tower over the rhododendrons – and make me anxious, even at this age. At least the bloody ghouls are mostly packed away now. I never liked Halloween. I know, I know. It’s almost unamerican. But it started early and never really went away. I was an outcast on Halloween. As an only child, and the only girl in an all-boy neighborhood, I never had anyone to trick-or-treat with. The boys certainly didn’t want to drag along that “sissy girl.” Back ...
There is a common theme across the nation when it comes to Flock cameras. Americans do not want to have something consistently looking over their shoulder. According to Pew Research Center, the automated license plate readers are high-speed camera systems that automatically photograph every license plate that passes them. When networked together and paired with specialized software, they can reconstruct where a vehicle has been over a period of days or weeks. Flock Safety is the leading automated plate reader vendor, Pew Research Center noted. The company estimates its cameras were ...
