My friend had a health crisis on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2025. I was unable to care for her, and I called the Presbyterian Village Health Care Center. Very quickly, two nurses appeared. This was our lucky night. We received phenomenal care as they prepared us for the ambulance. The patients are so lucky to receive such good nursing care at Presbyterian Village Health Care Center.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk was uncalled for and carried out by an individual who, for all intents and purposes, openly admitted he had been “radicalized” through vitriolic rants by members and supporters of the “progressive,” i.e., Democrats, calling for violence against anyone who opposes their views. It is both perplexing and troubling that many individuals who adamantly proclaim their opposition to violence, especially when they believe it is being perpetrated against them, often fail to recognize the contradiction in their actions. While they vehemently decry ...
Microsoft’s actions appear to indicate that they are in bed with computer and chip manufacturers to force consumers to buy new computers. Windows 10 support officially ends on Oct. 14, 2025; however, for a price, they are offering extended security updates for up to three years, but only if you have enterprise pro in commercial use or education.

That is my situation. ...
I was admitted to UPMC Emergency Department on Sept. 3, 2025. I was greeted by the most awesome nurse that had my confidence immediately. I was in so much pain and had many other symptoms. I was moaning and my nurse kept saying “you’re all right” no matter what I did. This was so comforting and my body was not cooperating with what he needed for my treatment. If you go to UPMC, Altoona Emergency Medicine, it will be all right. Dorothy Lansberry Hollidaysburg
It could be argued that being a school board member is one of the most important positions in the country. The future of our nation rests within our schools and the boards have controlling power over those futures. At the very least, the boards should provide guidance that fosters adherence to democratic principles, yet we have board members and board candidates who actively spurn the First Amendment, which guarantees free speech. The shame should be placed on free speech deniers, not those who exercise that speech. Ironically, in the local example of free speech denial, the ...
The assassination of Charlie Kirk was a truly disturbing event. Kash Patel’s militaristic reference to “the watch” and “Valhalla,” however, was exquisitely alarming. Further, the military honor guard for Kirk’s casket was bewilderingly offensive, as he had no military/governing right to the honor. Is the honor guard meant to indicate MAGA/presidential validation of the ethnotheocratic movement Kirk promoted? The Nazi and neo-Nazi movements glorify and mythologize racial and religious purity/conflict. How can we perceive Patel’s reference other than as a call ...
