Firefighters from Meyersdale and multiple surrounding communities were dispatched at 9:19 a.m. to the structure fire call, which was elevated to a second alarm to bring additional water tankers and manpower to the scene. "There was a large amount of fire there when we arrived," Miller said. "The fire was way too far ahead to save anything. It was defensive from the get go."

DOC NYC 2026 Review: There’s Strong Shelf Life in an Old Way of Life in Brian Becker’s Felicitous “Mall Country”

It’s apparent early on in “Mall Country” that Leo Karruli didn’t know what exactly he was buying when he won an auction to purchase the Johnstown Galleria in a small Western Pennsylvania. Scouring the internet for real estate investments after becoming a successful restauranteur in Florida, achieving the American dream when he worked his way up from being a dishwasher from Albania to ultimately having an Italian place of his own, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy a fully functional shopping center for just $1.4 million, though as his wife Irene notes, there wasn’t much wiggle room to back out when he made an impulsive bid, only to learn there were no other interested buyers.

Operation Christmas Child sets up Somerset area drop-off locations

Volunteers around Somerset County are preparing to collect Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts during National Collection Week, Nov. 16–23. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has partnered with local churches across the globe to collect and deliver gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need including many who are suffering from war, poverty, disease and disaster. OCC collected and delivered more than 244 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 175 countries and territories in that time. OCC hopes to reach 12.8 million children in 2026. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse that collects shoeboxes filled with fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items, and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love tangibly, said Mindy Singo, local area coordinator who leads the Operation Christmas Child project across Somerset County, in an email. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received, she said. “Shoebox gifts may seem simple, but they have an eternal impact. Each box is an opportunity to tell a boy or girl in need about the true meaning of Christmas,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse, in a press release. “I’ve
