Pittsburgh’s holiday season is taking shape ahead of Light Up Night

It may only be November, but signs of Christmas are already beginning to appear across Pittsburgh. Holiday trees are popping up in storefront windows, decorations are going up Downtown and crews are preparing Market Square for the return of one of Pittsburgh’s biggest holiday traditions. This year, the Peoples Gas Holiday Market returns to the newly modernized Market Square after temporarily relocating to the Cultural District during construction last year. The market opens Nov. 20 and runs through Christmas Eve, featuring its familiar Alpine-style chalets and vendors offering gifts from local and international makers.

Medicaid recipients face new renewal requirements beginning in 2027

Allegheny County officials are launching a communitywide campaign to help residents maintain Medicaid coverage as new federal eligibility requirements take effect Jan. 1, 2027. The changes, enacted under the federal Big Beautiful Bill Act, will require many Medicaid recipients to renew their coverage every six months and answer additional questions on lengthy renewal forms. County officials and health care providers say the outreach effort is intended to prevent eligible residents from losing coverage because they miss deadlines or struggle to navigate the renewal process. “Too many people risk losing health coverage even if they are working or eligible for exemptions simply because they are unaware of new requirements or don’t know where to turn for help,” County Executive Sara Innamorato said. Organizations across the county team up The Allegheny County Department of Human Services is partnering with health care providers and community organizations to offer training, public information sessions, text reminders and online advertising. Through a partnership with the UPMC Neighborhood Outreach Center, grassroots organizations will receive training to help residents navigate Pennsylvania’s online Medicaid system . Community office hours also will provide hands-on assistance. A series of town halls will give residents opportunities to ask questions and learn about

District 10 soccer teams go 3-0 during PIAA tournament openers

Lorenzo Baker’s Nov. 10 performance was instant history for the Mercyhurst Prep’s boys soccer program. The Laker who shut out Winchester Thurston over 110 minutes of regulation and overtime action was the same Laker whose goal ended the teams’ PIAA Class 1A tournament opener at Mercyhurst University’s Saxon Stadium. Coach Jake Gamble sent out Baker, his goalkeeper, as the team's fifth shooter for the shootout format that determined the victor. The senior lined up for his 12-yard attempt against the Bears’ Ian Leaman, the other reason for the scoreless match. Baker, who also kicks for Mercyhurst’s football team, won the rare goalie vs. goalie matchup. Leaman guessed wrong when he dove to his right on a shot that went left. The scenario wasn’t unique according to Baker, who was mobbed by teammates after his goal clinched their 5-3 shootout and the Lakers’ berth the state quarterfinals. “I knew (the shootout) was coming after a while,” Baker said, “and I told the guys, ‘Everybody get your minds right.’ This (tournament) was stapled on our bulletin board throughout this season. Not just this (match), but going for the (title).” Mercyhurst, District 10’s champion, will take a 15-5-1 record into its Nov. 14

State penalties against Shell have failed, and a new approach is needed

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) $15 million penalty against Shell Polymers in September is an unacceptable response to ongoing pollution violations. It sends a message that the creation of fines – essentially awarding “financial gifts” for community health projects – will curtail unlawful emissions at the plant.
