For those of you who will be walking into your assigned polling place, here are few voting day etiquette tips to consider:
Exotic duck in NY park to be left in peace
(UPI) Parks and wildlife officials in New York said an exotic Mandarin duck in Central Park will be left alone to live its life in the park. City park rangers initially said the duck, first spotted in late October, would be captured for its own safety, but Urban Park Ranger John McCoy said a few days of observation have led officials to believe the duck is comfortable living in Central Park.
"The animal, from what we've seen and heard, is healthy. It's able to fly, it's able to feed, and it seems to be social with the other water fowl in the park," he told Gothamist. "So, there's no risk of anything bad or negative happening, and the animal itself isn't hurt, from what we can see. So right now we're going to leave [it] alone." The bird quickly drew attention after initial sightings due to its unusual coloration and the rarity of spotting Mandarin ducks in North America. McCoy said officials still aren't sure of where the duck came from. "A lot of people dump animals in the park, which is unfortunate... For example, red-eared sliders, they're not a native species of turtle, but they're a common house pet, and people will just put them in the park when they don't want them anymore," McCoy said. "And that's a bad thing." "So we're guessing the same thing happened with this bird," he said. Rangers said the duck has a band on its leg, but no one has come forward claiming to be the animal's owner. Ducks are not legal to keep as pets in the state. McCoy said officials will likely go back to their capture plans if the duck shows any signs of injury or illness. "We don't go around removing all the [red-eared] sliders from the park. However, if we find one that's injured or wounded we're gonna find a home for it, we're gonna bring it to one of our partners, [and] find a place where it can live the rest of its life," he said. Fighting Opioid Abuse
A new law that requires opioids to be prescribed electronically will bring consistency in the way prescriptions are filled and will also prevent the fraudulent use of prescription pads to fuel the opioid crisis. At one time, written prescriptions were the safest form of prescribing opioids, which state law required. Since that time and the rise of the opioid epidemic, providers’ prescription pads have been stolen, leading to fraudulent use and driving fake prescriptions for the addictive drug. Act 96 of 2018 (formerly House Bill 353) will make it more difficult to have fake prescriptions filled, while also making it more convenient for patients who have a legitimate need for the medication. Currently, most all medications are prescribed electronically. Another benefit of e-prescribing is that the tracking of the prescription can go directly to the state’s prescription drug monitoring database to help ensure only those who have a legitimate medical need for these prescriptions can access them.

CLICK HERE FOR 45-60 DAY CALENDARImproving School Safety
The Bangor, Easton and Nazareth Area school districts have each received a $25,000 School Safety and Security Grant, which is part of the 2018-19 state budget. The program, for which individual schools needed to apply, provides grants to school districts, intermediate units, area vocational-technical schools, charter schools and private residential rehabilitative institutions for a wide variety of projects to improve school safety. Grants for institutions other than public schools will be announced at later date. Eligible uses for the grants include hiring school security officers, purchasing security-related technology, completing safety and security assessments, implementing violence prevention curricula, offering counseling services for students, and creating other programs to protect students. Assistance for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Two new laws signed by the governor will assist grandparents raising their grandchildren and help them better access both private and public resources. House Bill 2133, now Act 89 of 2018, will establish the Kinship Caregiver Navigator Program, an informational resource for these grandparents that will operate both as a website and a toll-free hotline. The website will offer information on support and services available, and a specially trained navigator through the hotline will be able to provide support and guidance to kinship caregivers, and serve as a mediator to establish relationships between kinship caregivers and relevant federal, state and local agency staff. The cost to state taxpayers will be greatly reduced, as the Commonwealth just received $479,307 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families to develop the program. Another measure to help grandchildren, House Bill 1539, now Act 88 of 2018, will allow grandparents to have temporary guardianship when the parents of the grandchildren are unable to care for them primarily due to substance abuse issues. An estimated 82,000 grandparents are the sole caregivers for the nearly 89,000 grandchildren in Pennsylvania. Entertainment This Week

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - November 6U.N. condemns apartheid 1962 On this day in 1962, the United Nations General Assembly adopts a resolution condemning South Africa’s racist apartheid policies and calling on all its members to end economic and military relations with the country. In effect from 1948 to 1993, apartheid, which comes from the Afrikaans word for “apartness,” was government-sanctioned racial segregation and political and economic discrimination against South Africa’s non-white majority. Among many injustices, blacks were forced to live in segregated areas and couldn’t enter whites-only neighborhoods unless they had a special pass. Although whites represented only a small fraction of the population, they held the vast majority of the country’s land and wealth. Following the 1960 massacre of unarmed demonstrators at Sharpeville near Johannesburg, South Africa, in which 69 blacks were killed and over 180 were injured, the international movement to end apartheid gained wide support. However, few Western powers or South Africa’s other main trading partners favored a full economic or military embargo against the country. Nonetheless, opposition to apartheid within the U.N. grew, and in 1973 a U.N. resolution labeled apartheid a “crime against humanity.” In 1974, South Africa was suspended from the General Assembly.
