The post also highlights Corning-focused newspaper archives, genealogy tools, and creation equipment available for anyone researching family or community history. 
• Southern Tier Animal Control expands services into Rathbone (wydc-tv.com) — Southern Tier Animal Control now covers Corning along with several neighboring Steuben County towns, offering a single point of contact for dog-related issues. The group has just added Rathbone and already serves Corning, Big Flats, Lindley, Caton, Tuscarora, Addison, and more, giving local pet owners clearer options when loose or problem dogs appear.
• Quirky Bath, the 'Queen City of the Southern Tier' (the-leader.com) — Corning gets a nod here as one of several Steuben County communities with its own distinct personality, alongside Bath and Hornell. The story dives into Bath’s unique history, from Charles Williamson’s grand city plans to the Davenport Home’s progressive support for girls’ education and opportunity, showing how those roots still shape the town’s character today.
