What’s trending
Court decision clears the path for Fayetteville supermarket chain: The state Court of Appeals denied a resident’s final appeal against plans for a Hannaford supermarket at 547 E. Genesee St. Marguerite Ross had claimed the 56,000-square-foot store violated zoning rules. “This is good news for us, and means the project can continue forward,” said Mayor Mike Small.
17-year-old pleads guilty to killing 15-year-old in Syracuse park: Ny’Zhon Thomas admitted to acting with two others to shoot Karon Works at close range with 9mm pistols at Lower Onondaga Park last December. In exchange for his plea, Thomas was promised a sentence of 20 to 25 years. Two other teens charged in the case, Caleb Gibson and Ja’kye Jameson, have pending cases.
Why are Medicare Advantage rates rising for thousands in Upstate NY?: Syracuse retiree Henry Rogala was shocked to learn his Medicare Advantage premium will jump 70% in 2026 — and he’s not alone. More than a half-million seniors across Upstate New York face significant increases as insurers like Excellus and UnitedHealthcare adjust to higher hospital reimbursement rates. The hikes stem from a $1 billion Medicare windfall for Upstate New York hospitals that inadvertently forced insurers to pay more for care, with Excellus losing $200 million on Medicare plans last year.
Looking ahead
Taco Bell Cantina coming to Manlius: The upscale version of the fast-food chain is set to open in the third week of October, featuring indoor seating, an outdoor entertainment venue and alcoholic beverages including beer, wine, and booze-infused freezes. The new location, which replaces an old fire station, will include a drive-thru and apartments on the top floor.

Syracuse crushes Clemson but may have lost its leader: The Orange dominated the Tigers 34-21 on Saturday for its first-ever win at Memorial Stadium. Syracuse led wire-to-wire, executing a perfect onside kick after their opening touchdown to build an early 10-0 lead. The victory came at a cost as quarterback Steve Angeli left with an injury in the third quarter after throwing for 244 yards and two touchdowns. Coach Fran Brown said after the game that Angeli “won’t be here for a couple of weeks.”
