VETS: We’re happy to be in an area that is always proud of its veterans.
We’re putting together a special section to mark Veterans Day, and are asking for local residents to send us stories and photos of your veterans.
We urge family members to submit print-quality photos accompanied with as much information as is known about a veteran’s service — either in decades past or today. The service did not have to be during a war or in a combat area — all veterans’ stories and photos are welcome.
For safety’s sake, and for the preservation of one’s cherished memorabilia, we would prefer information and photos be emailed to news@bradfordera.com
Information and photos that families do not need returned can be dropped off at the Era’s front desk during office hours from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays.
The Era cannot accept priceless photos.
Please, do not send materials you would want back via the U.S. Postal Service.
The deadline for submissions is Oct. 30.

NATIONAL CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS MONTH – The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) recognized National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure that consumers have the resources to stay secure online while increasing national resilience against cyberthreats.
PUC Chairman Gladys Brown Dutrieuille stressed that everyone plays a role in online safety and emphasized the importance of taking proactive steps to enhance cybersecurity at home – which, for many people, has also become a remote workplace.
Plus, more families are now involved in remote learning – so the internet connections and devices we all share at home, for entertainment, can now also impact how we work and how we attend school.
Chairman Dutrieuille – who also chairs the Critical Infrastructure Committee for the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) and is a member of NARUC’s new national Task Force on Emergency Preparedness, Recovery and Resiliency – underscored the ongoing work being done by state public utility commissions across the country to address security in the utility sector, evaluate current challenges and target future enhancements.
