Medicare’s annual open enrollment period gets underway this week.

Penn State’s “Students for Justice in Palestine” group hosted a “week of action” on the University Park campus last week.

Events commemorated the one year mark of the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel and the beginning of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.

New color-correcting viewfinders are in place at nine state parks to help colorblind visitors see fall foliage.

The lenses filter light to increase contrast to address symptoms of red-green color blindness.

Around one million Pennsylvanians are colorblind, according to the state.

That includes Governor Josh Shapiro, who got to try one of those viewfinders at the Black Moshannon State Park in Philipsburg last week.

Shapiro says these viewfinders are part of his campaign to encourage tourism. Outdoor recreation adds $17 billion-dollars to Pennsylvania’s economy each year, according to the Shapiro administration.

The color-correcting viewfinders are also in place at Bald Eagle, Hyner View, Kettle Creek, Little Pine, and Sinnemahoning State Park.

A tenth viewfinder will soon go in place at Tiadaghton State Forest.
