Angler Meets Bear While Fishing at Elmira River
Brad Taylor landed five smallmouth bass on a Monday night when a 200 pound black bear appeared from a neighbor's bird feeder and moved toward the Chemung River. The bear chased him briefly before getting snagged in brush and Taylor escaped into a nearby yard. Bruce Penrod of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation noted the bear was likely drawn by human feeding and warned bears rarely charge people.

Hospital Introduces New Infectious Waste Handling Plan
Nancy Gibson, infection control coordinator, and Hampe formed a safety task force a year ago to arrange waste packaging and transport. They inspected waste disposal, trained staff, and switched to a two container system for hauling to Stericycle/BFI in Warren Ohio for incineration or autoclaving. The system is tracked end to end, including ashes, to prevent spills and ensure compliant disposal, reducing black smoke concerns from nearby residents.
