Dear Editor:
One hour and seven minutes without a single named called.
Without threatening violence against the rude interruptions.
Without disparaging anyone or going off onto wild, revenge filled tangents.
Without extolling the virtues of our enemies and castigating our allies.
Without unfairly demonizing entire groups of people.
Without repeating over and over again how horrible our country is but instead looking towards how great we can truly be.
An entire speech filed with facts and policies and optimism.
A speech of unity, not division
Of inclusion, not exclusion.
Of solid plans, not wild claims.
Of pride for what has been accomplished and determination to do more.
A speech about moving forward and not backward.
A speech that praised the heart and soul of this great country.
Given by a man who has dedicated his life to serving it.
Isn’t that who should be leading us for the next four years?
Sincerely,
Karen Patterson, Representative

Following Morrison’s arrest during a traffic stop, the residence she shared with DYNE was searched by Detectives.
Chief County Detective Ryan D. Yingling filed the charges against Dyne. Magisterial District Judge David Engman set bail at $5,000 unsecured.

New vascular surgeon performs first endovascular procedure at OGH
Olean, NY – A significant milestone was reached at Olean General Hospital (OGH), a member campus of Upper Allegheny Health System (UAHS). This past February, Thomas Langan, MD, board-certified in vascular surgery, performed OGH’s first-ever endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedure.
An EVAR is a vital procedure that is performed to manage abdominal aortic aneurysms. In this specific case, the patient had a saccular, infrarenal aortic aneurysm which has an increased risk of rupturing causing a life-threatening incident.
“When aneurysms rupture, they can be deadly. Roughly 50% of those who suffer from a ruptured aortic aneurysm die before they reach the hospital. For patients who receive emergency surgery for a ruptured aneurysm, the thirty-day mortality is 30-70%. So, the overall rate of death for those who suffer from a ruptured aortic aneurysm is 65-85%,” said Dr. Langan, vascular surgeon.
