In the 1970s, anyone living in the vicinity of Saunders Station near the Murrysville-Monroeville border is likely to have known Turtle Creek by another name: “Sulfur Creek.” It was a far cry from the waterway’s earliest known name, “Tulpewi Sipu,” which translates from the native Delaware Algonquian as “turtle stream.”

HOUSTON - Susan Forney is calling a new treatment for COVID-19 a miracle. She doesn’t believe she d be alive this Christmas, without the help of it and her doctor at Kelsey Seybold Clinic.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) A 91-year-old woman in Houston received a new COVID-19 antibody treatment after her symptoms worsened, to help keep her from being admitted into the hospital.
The goal of the COVID-19 vaccine is to prevent someone from getting severe symptoms and keep them out of the intensive care unit, but as most still wait to receive the vaccine, they are still very much at risk.
Bamlanivaimab, the new antibody treatment, was just recently approved by doctors for emergency use to help limit the amount of virus in the body.
Susan Forney started feeling ill the weekend of Thanksgiving. Three days later, she tested positive for COVID-19 and said she had never felt so sick. A couple of days passed, and she took a turn for the worst.
