Special Weather Statement

850 PM EST Sun Dec 10 2023
…SNOW TO IMPACT TRAVEL OVERNIGHT…
Snow will continue to overspread the northern and western areas
of central Pennsylvania overnight. While valley locations will
hold onto rain longer, as temperatures remain just above freezing,
higher elevations will have potential to have icy spots develop,
as temperatures are expected to fall into the upper 20s by sunrise.
Icy spots will be most likely on untreated surfaces such as
bridges and ramps. Persons traveling overnight should be alert for
a wide range of conditions and allow extra travel time. The
heaviest snow is expected to be west and north of Interstate 99.

Redemption?
Dear Editor:
Redemption is a concept that most people subscribe to EXCEPT when it means putting the words into action.
Take for instance Gov. Hochul’s new bill, the Clean Slate Act, which could seal conviction records for some convicted citizens. The Act is getting push back from the Right, as they would rather these people carry their conviction as a ball and chain for the rest of their lives. Or as one former ‘convict’ termed it, perpetual punishment.
This is different from clemency or expungement.
The Act, however, does NOT seal ALL records. Only for those with clean records following their release from incarceration. Three years for those with misdemeanor convictions and eight years for felonies. And the records would NOT be sealed for certain categories, such as any conviction resulting in a possible registration as a sex offender, nor are murderers eligible, nor domestic terrorists, nor others convicted of non-drug Class A felonies.
The records would only become shielded when a person applies for schooling, jobs and housing. The records would still be available to the police and the courts.
By allowing for those who have served their time to re-integrate in the community and work to improve their social position, this Act will reduce recidivism.
Let those who have paid their debt pick up the pieces and put their lives back together productively for the benefit of all.
Sincerely,
Ly Kesse, Representative
Alfred, NY District 1

Rachel Teats, of Middleburg, honored earlier in the week for her defensive play, celebrated with a 25-point offensive performance that included hitting on 8 of 14 field goals, 2 of 4 treys and 7 of 8 foul shots. Teamwise, Penn College connected on 15 of 24 free throws, while Keuka hit just 7 of 16.
After holding its previous two opponents under 50 points in back-to-back wins, Marywood University raced to a 35-16 halftime lead and withstood a late Penn College comeback for a 61-51 win on Saturday. Teats led the Wildcats in scoring with 21 points and eight rebounds. While Penn College was sharp at the foul line, hitting 13 of 16 tries, it was just 4 of 21 from the 3-point line, while Marywood was 11 of 38 in treys.
After her third straight 20-plus point game, Teats has scored 117 on the season and 654 for her career.
