PENN YAN – Yates County added Arbor Day to their schedule of Bicentennial celebrations by formally dedicating the planting of a Wagner Apple tree at the Yates County History Center on Chapel St. The now rare apple tree was sourced from a heritage tree repository in Ithaca.
Yates County, are you ready to celebrate the individuals who embody the true spirit of community? It’s time to show your appreciation and recognition for those who go above and beyond to make our community a better place.

KEUKA LAKE – It’s something we all experience but not all of us talk about. More than 43 million Americans struggle with mental illness and more than half of them struggle in silence.

DUNDEE - The Dundee Central School District must begin the search for a new superintendent. The Manchester-Shortsville Central School District Board of Education has selected Christopher Barnard as their next Superintendent of Schools.
Includes reports from Yates County Sheriff’s Office, Penn Yan Police Department, and New York State Police. These reports do not indicate guilt, only that someone has been charged with an offence. The term “arrested” does not always mean someone was held in jail.
Penn Yan Methodist Students and staff from Keuka College shared at our contemporary worship service about their Alternative Spring Break trip to Guatemala. PYUMC’s Mission and Outreach Team helped with support for their trip.
