This just in from Chemung County on Villa Serene apartment fire: Residents living in the north end of the building with apartments which end in the numbers 8 through 15 on all floors may return to their apartments after 3 p.m. today.

Residents or family members with questions may contact Villa Serene Management at 607-734-0584.
The New York Masters Teacher program seems like a good idea, but did you know less than 1 percent of the state's teachers will be involved? We think the plan misses the mark.
