University of Albany prof gives talk on 'Gender in New York During the Revolution'
PLATTSBURGH — "Gender in New York During the Revolution" will be presented by University at Albany professor Maeve Kane at 6:30 p.m. June 27 at the Plattsburgh Memorial Chapel on the Oval. How early New Yorkers experienced the Revolution and began to think of themselves as American was profoundly shaped by their understanding of gender in the 18th century. From the quiet tea table at home to violent street protests, from Indigenous peoples trade in early European settlements to petitions to the Crown, from military enlistment to pension petitions after the war, men and women understood their rights and responsibilities as citizens of what would become the American nation as rooted in their expectations of what gender meant. In this talk, Kane will discuss how gender shaped the experience of the American Revolution from the New York harbor through the Champlain Valley and Plattsburgh for Black, white and Indigenous families in this pivotal time in the nation's history. Kane is a professor of history at the University at Albany, and co-author of the 2023 textbook 'American Women's History — A New Narrative.' She appeared on 'Episode 7: The Divide' of the American Revolution podcast, 'Worlds Turned Upside Down.' The program is sponsored by the Clinton County America250 Committee under the leadership of the Clinton County Historical Association with funding from a 2025 Special Programs Grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership. This event is free to the public. For more America250 events, go to For more information, call Geri Favreau at 518-569-8984.

Mechanicsburg woman accused of injuring, shaking baby
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A woman in Mechanicsburg was charged after a baby was taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries that police say are suspected to be from child abuse. The charges filed by Hampden Township police state, Maeve Kane, 20, allegedly admitted to shaking the six-week-old sometimes during an investigation into the baby's injuries. Even though Kane allegedly tried telling police that the baby got hurt by falling and rolling onto the floor, medical records from the hospital showed the injuries were from being squeezed, according to police. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Officers got a report on Feb. 15 about Kane being seen on FaceTime hitting the child at an apartment and responded. After arriving at the apartment, police say they saw apparent signs of abuse. EMS also arrived and took the baby to the hospital for evaluation. The baby's face was red, and there was bruising under both of the child's eyes. Kane allegedly admitted to slapping the infant in the face for crying and that she 'was overstimulated,' according to the charges. Police said in the charges when she was questioned about what could have caused the bruising, Kane said the baby rolled off a blow-up mat and onto the floor. However, police said the baby is not old enough to be rolling. She also said that the baby had recently fallen out of a floor swing and onto their face, and she also claimed the baby fell off the couch and onto the floor. Kane told police about another time when the baby had fallen while she was changing them, then she allegedly said about shaking the baby and that the last time she did that was the day before police were called to the apartment, the charges state. Police said results of the medical exam showed that the injuries to the baby's torso were from being squeezed and they could not have been self-inflicted. Kane faces two felony charges of aggravated assault – victim less than 13 and defendant older than 18 and endangering the welfare of children. She also faces a misdemeanor charge of simple assault. She is out on unsecured bail set at $10,000 by Magisterial District Judge Kathryn Silcox after she was arraigned Tuesday morning, court records show. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 17.
