The Chemung County Sheriff’s Office announces the arrest of 45-year-old Christopher S. Price of Elmira Heights for Burglary in the Second Degree, a Class C Felony, and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, a Class A Misdemeanor. According to the Chemung County Sheriff's Office, on June 8, 2026, around 09:07 A.M., deputies were dispatched to a residence on Lenox Avenue in the Town of Horseheads for a report of a theft of a motor vehicle. Upon arrival, Deputies discovered that Price had taken the homeowner’s motor vehicle from an address that he had previously been trespassed from. The Criminal Investigation Division was made aware of the burglary and assisted in the remainder of the investigation. Investigators learned that Price took the motor vehicle in the early morning hours and had returned it around 09:00 A.M. Upon returning the motor vehicle, he entered the residence without permission and remained unlawfully inside the residence that he had previously trespassed from before being confronted by the homeowner. As a result of the investigation, Price was arrested and arraigned by the Town of Horseheads Court, where an Order of Protection was issued against him. He was then remanded to the Chemung County Jail.

Something dug up some of the corn I just planted the other day so I decided that, since I don't know how much it got, I'd replant it. I did that yesterday. Today I looked and something was digging at the ground yet again. So I tamped the soil back down and sprayed the area with deer and rabbit repellent, which seems to work well for deterring about anything. I gave some other stuff a quick spritz while I was at it.

I still remember the scent of this face cream.

So...was "returned to the facility" and actually taken inside or left in a vehicle in 80 degree heat? If the reports that say he was found dead in a vehicle are false, then Chief should clearly refute them. If true, then 'returned to the facility' is a disingenuous lie of omission.

I know. If you have stock in Corning, they're doing great. They have several new expansion. iPhone glass creating jobs in KY, the NVIDIA partnership in TX, and now NC. But between energy costs and just plain hostility to business, NYS makes it unprofitable for Corning to hire in their own neighborhood.

Drive down to Lowman, LOL

Me too but they never tell us that. Supposedly they will meet to review the errors or issues so they can reapply next year.

Still think it's pretty bad when you can't create jobs in the state where your headquarters is. NYS govt are a bunch of idiots.

I’d like to know why the Grant was denied.

Didn't even know that was a thing. Yuck.

Both unacceptable. I see Finger Lakes SPCA was awarded the grant for our area. Again.

Great, just what we need

This week, Amazon announced a multibillion-dollar agreement with Corning Incorporated, a leading manufacturer of advanced glass and fiber optic technology, to supply the optical fiber, cable, and connectivity solutions that power Amazon's expanding data center infrastructure across the United States. The investment will create 1,000 new, highly skilled jobs at Corning's manufacturing facilities across North Carolina, and support hundreds of additional construction jobs to expand Corning’s facilities. Through the agreement, Amazon will work with Corning on a new program that will expand its Fiber Optic Technician Training Program with Catawba Valley Community College to train students for careers in fiber optic manufacturing and related technical roles. The program provides hands-on education and courses that will increase the talent pool and offer pathways to high-paying technical roles. The efforts will help strengthen the domestic supply chain and U.S. manufacturing base while serving the region and state to help expand residential and commercial fiber densification efforts. "Amazon's investments in North Carolina have created more than 26,000 jobs across the state. This multibillion-dollar agreement with Corning continues that commitment, channeling investment into American manufacturing and creating 1,000 new jobs at their facilities near our data centers," said Matt Garman, CEO of AWS. "We're also partnering to train North Carolinians for highly skilled roles in fiber optics and fusion splicing. These long-term investments create long-term careers and real opportunity in the communities where we operate." "This agreement with Amazon represents a significant milestone for Corning and for American manufacturing," said Wendell Weeks, chairman, CEO, and president of Corning. "For 175 years, Corning has pioneered the technologies that connect people and transform industries. Amazon's investment will help us expand production, create 1,000 new advanced manufacturing jobs at our facilities, and lead the way toward building a resilient U.S. manufacturing base."

NEW YORK (AP) — A surprising gut feeling may help pigeons find their way home. Animals use various techniques to navigate including following the stars and remembering key landmarks. Birds, fish and turtles orient themselves using Earth’s magnetic field as a compass. But it’s not yet clear how exactly they do this. Pigeons are a well-known group of frequent flyers that can traverse hundreds of miles (hundreds of kilometers) in a single day. For thousands of years, humans have used them to carry news, notes and military messages. Scientists have long tried to untangle how pigeons travel without getting lost. Some think the birds detect magnetic cues using light-sensitive molecules in their eyes, while others suggest it happens in the beak or inner ear. “The magnetic sense has been this mystery for almost 100 years,” said Martin Wikelski with the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany. In a new study, Wikelski and other researchers decided to draw back the curtain on pigeons’ navigational secrets. They searched for magnetic clues in the birds’ organs and found a strong signal in an unexpected place: the liver. Read more about it here.

Three more cases of the New World screwworm have been confirmed, including one outside the main cluster in Texas, demonstrating the difficulty of stopping a resurgent pest that could devastate the nation’s cattle industry, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Monday. The screwworm is actually a fly larva that eats living flesh instead of dead material. The flies lay their eggs in open wounds of animals like cattle, but wildlife, pets and occasionally even humans can be infested. The government has a program to breed sterile male flies and drop swarms of them from planes to mate with wild females, which kept screwworm contained at the southern end of Panama for decades. So far, there are five confirmed cases: three calves and a goat in Texas and a dog from neighboring Lea County, New Mexico. The small dog, which the USDA initially reported as a Texas case, lives in New Mexico and was reclassified as the first in that state. Source

Perhaps not of this world, but still natural and amazing:

Steuben County placed a six-month moratorium on new permits for biosolids production and use last month. In 2023, Thurston became the first town in the state to ban the use of sewage sludge, also called biosolids, as fertilizer. Since then, town officials and residents have urgedcounty leadership to do the same on a much larger scale. The Steuben County moratorium passed on May 18 and is in place until November. Sewage sludge is a byproduct from wastewater treatment plants and is a combination of human and industrial waste. Read the rest here

WETM news is reporting that an investigation is currently underway after a dog has died after allegedly being left inside an Elmira Animal Control vehicle. Additionally, the station is reporting that the Elmira Animal Shelter was not selected to receive a $500,000 grant that was applied for.

Honestly a month ago I would have completely agreed. I'm not so sure anymore.

by taking such a stance.... Never wanted to believe it, but i was told years ago, Chris Moss is essentially God in his world, he has sadly proven that out over his time in office. worst part is, given the current climate of how voters align and based on what views, i think his re-election will be a lead-pipe cinch

I have to say, not only do I strongly disagree that debates are “political theater”, but am disappointed in Chris’s stance on that.
