She had been unable to go to school and was being bullied during the four years she was living with the tumor.

Encouraging Violence?

I request that The Press reconsider its high school wrestling section. While I understand the desire to cover local sports, the focus on wrestling may inadvertently contribute to a climate that encourages violence.

I urge The Press to consider the potential impact of its coverage and prioritize sports that emphasize teamwork, ... by Staff Writer

Last Thursday, in another sweeping action, the new deputy attorney general and former personal attorney for Donald Trump, Emil Bove, ordered that the criminal case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams be dropped. Adams had been indicted (by a grand jury of citizens) for accepting bribes and gifts, and was being investigated for possible obstruction charges, destroying evidence and lying to FBI agents. Bove also wrote that the case prosecutors be placed on administrative leave and would be subject to internal investigations. Weeks earlier, FBI agents who had investigated President Trump when he was out of office had been ... by Staff Writer

Brave Volunteers

On Friday, February 7, our family nearly lost our entire home due to a house fire.

We are safe, and our historic home will be able to be salvaged, and many of our sentimental items, hopefully, restored. We cannot express our gratitude enough to all emergency service personnel, many of ... by Staff Writer
