New Corning bakery opens in familiar Market Street home. What to know
The Dough Company , a bakery that recently opened at 12 E. Market St. in Corning, is fulfilling a longtime dream of owner Kristen Kerr. Kerr previously launched The Dough Co. out of her home on Murphy Road , delivering her products to homes and businesses around the Corning area. Now, her micro bakery specializing in sourdough breads and bagels has taken the next step and has its own space in the city. “I’ve always wanted to own a bakery,” Kerr said. “It really feels good to be here doing this.” Kerr recently purchased Laurabelle’s Cupcakery from owner Tarrah Seaver, which operated at 12 E. Market St. since 2020. “I worked at (Laurabelle’s Cupcakery) since October 2020. I really enjoyed my time here and am looking forward to the future,” Kerr said. “I was so happy when Tarrah asked me if I was interested in buying the business and I jumped on that.” Kerr said she changed the name to The Dough Company, updated the look and the bakery, adding new fresh pastries, sourdough bread, bagels and coffees, just to name a few. The business also has the old staples like cupcakes, cookies, scones and custom cakes, including wedding cakes

Elmira Express Jr. Players plan high-energy 'Addams Family Musical'

And Sarah, an eighth grader at Ernie Davis Academy in Elmira who has seen the Addams Family movie, knew exactly what part she wanted to play. "Last year I was Sarafina in 'The Lion King.' I really wanted to play Wednesday," said Sarah, 14. "I really liked what she has to say, and how the story develops."

Ira McKinley Screens Stories of Justice, Resilience and Renewal at The Cherry
Documentation isn’t a passive form of activism. Unlike boycotting, donations, or signing petitions, capturing unrest on film and translating it for a national audience means engaging with risk. Leaping into active protests, uncovering and publicizing hushed issues makes the creator a target. As police brutality, mass incarceration and systematic racism are intentionally neglected by the U.S. government, producer Ira McKinley exposes impact on Black communities through the camera. Narratives of resilience, justice, and solidarity celebrate interviewees while drawing attention to a need for vital institutional reform.
