Jablon Studios hosts Easter egg hunt
Public artist and Owner of Jablon Studios Emily Jablon hosted an Easter egg hunt Monday morning at her new art studio, located inside of Vestal Center Park.
Children and families from across the community were invited to come hunt for eggs, meet the Easter bunny, and check out the new space. The eggs contained candy, money, and in true Jablon Studios fashion, gems, diamonds, and bling.
Jablon says as a public artist, she's always looking for new ways to incorporate the community into her art.
'It's a fun way to celebrate the Easter season, but it's also a good way to get people to check out my new studio, see what we do here, invite more local organizations to see what we do and what we offer and just have fun with the public in an artsy kind of way,' said Jablon.
Jablon says this was the first of many events she plans to host in the park.
Jablon specializes in glass mosaic art, including public murals and smaller pieces like ornaments.
Jablon Studios offers art classes for all skill levels. Open studio hours are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 8 and on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 3 p.m. Parties and group events are also offered.

Tunnel to Towers Foundation pays off mortgage of fallen Binghamton firefighter JR Gaudet
Following the tragic death of Binghamton firefighter John "JR" Gaudet, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has paid off the mortgage of Gaudet's home in honor of Independence Day. Gaudet, 40, was killed in the line of duty on Feb. 12 after responding to a major fire on Main Street in Binghamton. The fire, which was ultimately ruled arson, led to the March arrest of 36-year-old Patrick K. Shea after the Binghamton Police Detective Bureau determined there was "human involvement" in the blaze. While crews battled the blaze on the night of Feb. 12, a wall collapsed, trapping Gaudet beneath the debris. He was extricated from the rubble but later pronounced dead at the hospital. Gaudet was survived by his wife, Felly Gaudet, and their three young children. On July 2, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which was created in the wake of 9/11, announced that the organization has paid off Gaudet's family home through its Fallen First Responders Home Program. The program is designed to pay off the mortgages "for the families of law enforcement officers and firefighters who are killed in the line of duty or pass away from 9/11-related illnesses and leave behind young children." "The goal is to provide stability following the sudden and tragic loss of a loved one," the organization stated in a release. "The foundation ensures the family of these fallen heroes can stay in their home, school, and community, without the financial burden of a mortgage."

"Firefighter John Gaudet lost his life battling a fire, confronting the danger and the risk head-on, with the same determination he had every day and working every call for help," said Frank Siller, Chairman and CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. "Tunnel to Towers Foundation is honored to ensure the family can stay in their home in the community he worked tirelessly to protect." Gaudet was a Binghamton native who attended Binghamton High School, Binghamton University, and SUNY Cortland, where he played lacrosse and later returned as a coach.

Multiple Cell Towers Sabotaged Across NATO Nation: What To Know
Sweden is investigating a series of suspected sabotage incidents involving more than 30 telecom towers, raising alarms over infrastructure vulnerability amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in Europe. The affected infrastructure spans locations along Sweden's E22 highway, where cables were severed and technical equipment damaged at multiple sites, according to local media and Data Center Dynamics. Sweden, which joined NATO in March 2024, is among several member states seeing increased focus on critical infrastructure protection, particularly in the context of the Baltic region's elevated security posture following Russia's war in Ukraine. Though the motive and perpetrator remain unknown, the nature of the damage has heightened concerns within Sweden's security community. "This stands out and is more than usual," Roger Gustafsson, head of security at Sweden's Post and Telecom Authority (PTS), told the national broadcaster SVT Nyheter. The incidents started during Easter weekend at more than 30 locations and led to outages on mobile networks in some cases but nothing major. The E22, also known as the European Road, is part of a road network that stretches for more than 3,300 miles, connecting the U.K. in the west to Russia in the east. Detective Superintendent Håkan Wessung, head of serious crime in Kalmar, said investigators "don't rule anything out," including the possibility of deliberate attacks, according to The Economic Times. Previous incidents in Sweden include a 2016 case in which a 300-meter mast was deliberately taken down, affecting tens of thousands of households. Meanwhile, concerns about infrastructure security have extended to undersea cables. In February, a fiber-optic cable between Finland and Germany was damaged in Swedish waters near Gotland. Swedish authorities opened a sabotage investigation, although the Finnish operator reported no service disruption. "These incidents must be viewed in the context of the existing serious security situation," Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson wrote on X, formerly Twitter, at the time. Similar sabotage acts previously affected NATO member states, including Sweden, such as the cutting of key underwater communications cables in the Baltic, arson attacks on logistics facilities in Germany, and cyberattacks targeting defense firms. Swedish prosecutor Michelle Stein, who is leading the police investigation, told SVT: "There are circumstances that make everything seem to be connected, but it is something that the investigation will have to show." Multiple European telecommunications firms, in an open letter to the European Union, U.K. and NATO In April: "At this crucial time for Europe's security and resilience, we commend your efforts to strengthen collective defence and protect critical infrastructure. Subsea cables play a vital role in Europe's connectivity, competitiveness, defence readiness, and economic stability. We recommend the EU/EEA and UK authorities as well as NATO renew their collaboration to address this situation effectively, together with the industry stakeholders from the EU and from the UK. "With the rise in hybrid threats, including incidents affecting subsea cables in the Baltic and North Sea, we emphasize the importance of enhanced, coordinated action to safeguard Europe's cross-border networks. The EU Action Plan on Cable Security provides a clear approach to further increase the resilience and security of subsea cables." Swedish authorities continue to investigate the tower incidents, with assistance from security services and technical experts. They have not announced arrests or released findings confirming sabotage. In the meantime, national and regional coordination on critical infrastructure protection is expected to intensify. The developments have pushed telecommunications and energy security higher on Sweden's national agenda as European nations adapt to a security environment reshaped by war and technological vulnerability.
