Kenmore, NY - It doesn't have to be Halloween for Greg Hinaman to dress up as a Zombie to help a charity.
He started Terror Technologies, a charity promotions group with more than 100 volunteers.
He explains, "You turn into somebody else, and it's fun being somebody else once in a while."
Among the emails we received about this good neighbor, Debra wrote, "Everything Greg does is for charity and to help everyone in our community. For those of us in the organization he has been a leader and a friend. He works 100% harder than anyone I have known in my life, and all for the benefit of others." Renata wrote, "Greg is a man with a heart of gold who does without so other can have. He would give his shirt off his back if someone needed it."
And the numbers from this group are impressive. Since 2011, the Food Bank of Western New York says Greg's group has brought in 4,647 pounds of food. Terror Technologies also collected 14 bags of hats and gloves for Hearts for the Homeless. They've worked to help Make-A-Wish, donate blood to UNYTS and more.
Al Baker's been volunteering with the group for three years and explains that it is fun and rewarding.
As for the good neighbor who started it all, "We call him Deady because he fathered all of us... puts it all together. Makes it all happen so we can smile."
There are plenty of events planned through Halloween and beyond. You can learn more on facebook or Terror Technologies website.

text: Emergency personnel rush a female truck driver to an ambulance at the scene of a semi-tractor trailer rollover at Sunnyside Junction last Thursday. At approximately 5 p.m. on Aug. 31, a Savage coal truck rolled when the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle while attempting to turn right from Utah Highway 23 onto U.S. Highway 6, indicated officials. The accident delayed motorists for more than an hour in both directions of travel. Traffic remained slow until crews could unload the coal from the trailer, clear the debris from the roadway and remove the vehicle from the scene. HAZMAT crews were called in to clean up diesel fuel that leaked from the truck following the accident. The unidentified driver reportedly sustained head injuries in the accident and was transported to Castleview Hospital for treatment.

Immediate emergency action is required for severe allergic reactions, especially in cases of anaphylaxis. Use the emergency medications prescribed by your doctor and call 911 for emergency help, or have a friend drive you. For mild reactions, get advice from your health care provider and ask if your mild allergic reactions can be managed at home. In either case, any worsening of symptoms always requires medical attention.
In a severe reaction, the first priority is to administer any emergency medications your doctor has prescribed to you. Usually, the choice of medication and how it is given depends on the severity of the reaction.
In severe food allergy reactions reactions, it is also important to protect your airway (breathing) and your blood pressure. Your health care provider will make sure that your airway is open and that you are getting enough oxygen.
For less severe, localized types of reactions (such as hives or other mild skin reactions) some of the following treatments are appropriate:
For all other reactions, especially severe reactions, self-treatment is not recommended.

BUFFALO, NY -- The New York State Police have now made available the so-called opt - out forms which allow holders of pistol permits in the state to keep their information private. This is part of the state's controversial new SAFE Act gun legislation.
Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs says over four thousand people have so far requested the forms from his office in person, through the phone, or on - line. This follows the previous publication of names and addresses of permit holders and similar information in some counties in downstate New York after a reporter sought it through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The forms allow permit holders to keep their information private for various reasons. They list options for active or retired law enforcement or corrections officers, people who have an order of protection, those in witness protection or serving as witnesses in criminal trials, or jurors in such cases. They also allow opt out for anyone who fears their life or their relatives will be endangered and for anyone who feels they will be subject to harassment upon disclosure of their information.
Jacobs says pistol permit holders have 60 days to fill out the form and return them via mail or fax to the clerk's office or whatever agency in their area handles pistol permits. They can request a copy of the form at http://www.erie.gov/optout.
They are available at the Clerk's Pistol Permit Office at 92 Franklin Street in Buffalo. They can also be obtained at all Erie County Auto Bureaus as of Tuesday, February 19th.

St. Lawrence University standout Kyle Flanagan has signed with the Philadelphia Flyers, according to an online report on Tuesday night.
Flanagan, who just completed his senior season with the Saints, has agreed to an amateur tryout agreement with the Flyers, TSNs Bob McKenzie reported. The forward will report on Friday to the Adirondack Phantoms, Philadelphias affiliate in the American Hockey League.
If all goes well, the 24-year-old Flanagan will get a one-year NHL contract with Philadelphia for next season.
Flanagan, a Canton native who just finished his second season as team captain at St. Lawrence, totaled 47 points, including 15 goals in 35 games this season.
He finished with 147 career points, including 46 goals and 101 assists at the school and is just the seventh Saints player to record at least 100 career assists.
Flanagan helped guide the Saints to a fifth-place finish in ECAC Hockey this season. After sweeping Colgate in two games in a first-round playoff series at St. Lawrence, the Saints were beaten in two games at Yale in the quarterfinal round this past weekend.
Both Flanagan and linemate Greg Carey, a junior winger, are Hobey Baker Award candidates.

On March 17, 2010, Kathleen S. Tighe was sworn in as the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Education (ED). In December 2011, Tighe was appointed by President Obama to chair the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board while continuing to serve as ED's inspector general. In June 2011, she was also appointed to serve on the Government Accountability and Transparency Board.
Tighe has a long and distinguished career in government accountability and a wealth of experience in fighting fraud. Prior to taking the helm at ED's OIG, she was the deputy inspector general of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. From 1995 to 2005, she served as counsel to the inspector general at the General Services Administration (GSA) and, before that, as an assistant counsel for the GSA Office of Inspector General.
From 1988 until 1991, Tighe was a trial attorney in the Fraud Section of the Commercial Litigation Branch of the Department of Justice. She litigated cases under the civil False Claims Act representing various government agencies. Prior to her government service, Tighe was in private practice with the law firm Lewis, Mitchell & Moore.
Tighe also has played an active role in the operations of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), the umbrella organization for all federal inspectors general, established by Congress to address integrity, economy, and effectiveness issues that transcend individual government agencies. She currently chairs the CIGIE Information Technology Committee and is a member of CIGIE's Audit Committee.
Tighe has lectured frequently to both government and private organizations on issues relating to fraud, waste, and abuse in government programs. In 2014, she was named by the Institute of Internal Auditors as one of the most influential professionals in government auditing.
Tighe earned her law degree with honors from George Washington University (J.D., 1983) and a master's degree in International Relations from American University (M.A., 1979). She graduated with distinction from Purdue University (B.A., 1976), where she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

|Wild Morning, Weird Day Weatherwise
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 28 January 2013 09:10
It was a wild morning weather wise, with rain showers passing through the area freezing in many areas, especially along the eastern edge of the High Country. Boone Police reported a half-inch of ice on the lot of a local condo complex off Old East King, an trouble for Medics
trying to reach a patient there. Watauga reported that it took two hours to reach a patient in the Heavenly Mountain area overnight due to ice, and that a slag truck got stuck trying to help out. Areas close to the Blue Ridge Parkway saw icing from Blowing Rock to Deep Gap, one motorist sliding across the Canyons parking lot, his vehicle teetering on the edge of the lot, looking down the John's River gorge, and the responding wrecker had to put on chains to make it to the scene. Schools across the High Country delayed their starts, Watauga and Avery calling off schools, while others waited for a predicted warm up, and even schools off the mountains delayed their starts as the colder air was sinking to lower areas while many mountain tops well above freezing. The freezing came just before several days of much warmer weather—maybe even thunderstorms, to be followed by the chance of more snow by week's end.

CANTON - Students gathered, underwear in hand, ready to turn panties into paper in the name of preventing sexual violence.
Margaret E. Mahan of Portsmouth, R.I., was inspired to create Panty Pulping while struggling to cope with a sexual assault she suffered while travelling in Turkey.
Ms. Mahan works with the Peace Paper Project, started by Drew L. Matott of Gouverneur. The project offers paper-making classes, primarily as a form of therapy and artistic expression.
Ms. Mahan came up with the idea of Panty Pulping, turning underwear into paper, as a means to use clothing often described as intimate to initiate conversations about an even more delicate topic: sexual violence. She is touring colleges across the country: encouraging students to bring their own underwear and learn about the creative process.
Ms. Mahan and Mr. Matott were at St. Lawrence University this week, one of their first stops on their tour of workshops.
The goal, she said, is using unmentionables to address the unmentionable. Its a common thread. Everyone has underwear.
Each group of students begins by signing a pledge - written on a piece of paper made from underwear - to help prevent sexual violence, then they get to work. They cut up their underwear, most bring their own, into one-inch squares. This is then mixed with a substance called Abaca, made from banana fibers.
The mix is dumped into a beater, which separates the fibers from the cloth and turns it into a uniform mixture. Students use a screen to pull individual pieces of paper from the soggy concoction. These are then pressed and dried overnight to create the finished product.
Some students used a silk screening process to print images into the paper as it formed. These included warnings about the dangers of sexual violence and calls to raise awareness.
After the paper is formed, it is pressed to flatten it and remove excess moisture, then left to dry overnight.
St. Lawrence University senior Sophie B. Miller said she was hooked by the unique event.
I love it. Ive never made paper before and on Monday I was so excited by it, she said.
She said she spent most of her spare time over the last few days helping teach others how to make paper. Its so fun to teach, Ms. Miller said.
The paper will hang Friday in the student union, a demonstration of the work that was done throughout the week and a call against domestic violence.
Art professor Melissa A. Schulenberg said the event is especially good for students who are not art majors, because of the ease with which paper-making can be learned and the importance of the message.
I think what they do as artists and educators and just as human beings is really important, she said of the Peace Paper Project.
Ms. Mahan said the theme of the week is one of transformation.
Youre breaking it down and transforming it into something else, she said.

This January it will become much easier for people in the Rexburg, Idaho, area to become Aggies.
In July 2012 the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business announced that it had come to an agreement with Brigham Young University-Idaho that will give students the opportunity to obtain a Utah State University Master of Business Administration degree on the Rexburg campus.
Faculty members from the Huntsman School will teach the MBA courses, and the program will offer the same curriculum taught at USU, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, strategic thinking, decision-making skills, leadership, and effective communication. Classes will be taught on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings.
Current BYU-Idaho students and employees, recent graduates, and other interested individuals from local communities are eligible to apply. Tuition for the two-year, 36-credit program is approximately $25,000, and the application deadline for Winter Semester 2013 is Nov. 15. Admissions decisions will be made by USU under the same standards as for students applying for the Huntsman School's other professional MBA programs.
Those interested in learning more about the program, including admissions requirements, may visit HuntsmanMBA.com or phone (435) 797-2360.

PAWTUCKET – Faced with a nearly $150 million unfunded liability in what it calls "our severely troubled police and fire (pension) plan," the city is asking 350 public safety retirees to forego their annual cost of living adjustment (COLA) for the next three years.
Mayor Donald Grebien and other city officials outlined their proposal to scores of retirees at Tolman High School Wednesday, asking them to agree to the freeze in exchange for promises to fund the plan 3 percent above the annual required contribution (ARC) and make other cuts in city spending, including tightening union contracts, until the plan is made whole.
A representative of the retirees, however, stepped up on stage to tell the mayor "your request for relief is without merit."
The plan will be put before the City Council next Wednesday for its input and approval.
City Finance Director Joanna L'Heureux stated the situation starkly.
She said the city has a balanced budget for 2013, "but going forward, with no increases to taxes, no union concessions, no changes to the city's current expenses and no changes to the pension benefits, the city will go bankrupt.
"We will have a cumulative deficit over the next five years of $40 million," she added. "The state will have no choice at that time but to come in and take over."
"The financial problem we have is unsustainable," Grebien admitted, "and the problem as we all know has gone long without being funded effectively. It is going to take shared effort between you the retirees, the active members (of the pension plan) and the taxpayers. That is what it is going to take to reverse this problem."
The plan has 630 participants, 350 retirees and 280 active members, and depending on the contract they worked under and when they retired, the percentages of their annual COLAs vary greatly, city officials said.
Jeremiah O'Connor, head of the newly formed Pawtucket Public Safety Retirees Association said returning the pension fund to an acceptable funding level "is a step in the right direction," but blamed the problem on the underfunding of the plan by previous administrations.
Not only did the city years ago not properly fund the plan – employees were to pay 6.5 percent of their salary to the plan with the city contributing three times that amount for each employee – O'Connor alleged, but for several years running in the 1990s, they city didn't even put in the 6.5 percent it took from the workers' paychecks.
That was a particular sore spot with many retirees in the auditorium, several of whom spoke afterward of filing suit against the city to recoup that money. O'Connor said some of those years when the pension plan was being underfunded, "were some of the most lucrative in terms of return on investment at that time and would have had a dramatic effect on the fiscal well being of the fund today.
"How could anyone in good conscience ask the retirees to make negative changes to their benefits when the city has acted so irresponsibly?" O'Connor asked.
The pension plan is currently 34 percent funded – it has $73.4 million in assets and $218 million in total liability. The retirees were told that if the city had made all of the annual required contributions, including those taken from them as employees, that together with the earnings that money could have accrued over the years, the plan would now be about 80 percent funded.
Between 1990 and 2009, according to documents distributed at the meeting, the city made either less than the required contribution or, in 1994-96, put no money into the plan at all.
"We can't reverse what happened in the past," Grebien told the crowd, "but my administration has since the beginning and is committed to continue to make sure we do our part with 100 percent of the ARC payments.
"The one thing we will not do, and now with state laws we cannot do, is not meet our ARC requirements," the mayor said. "Nobody said this was going to be easy, however, our financial conditions require that all our stakeholders make sure the pension system is sustainable so it is available to you, the active members and is affordable for the taxpayers.
The mayor encouraged the retirees to organize and obtain legal representation and reach an agreement with the city on maintaining the plan into the future.
The city is due to submit its funding improvement plan to the state Pension Study Commission by May 1.
Grebien acknowledged that the city has been slow in developing its plan, but said that is because "we pulled out all the possibilities," to strike the correct balance between what is expected from the retirees, the active members, the city government and the taxpayers. "There is no way to do this without coming back to you and have you be part of the solution," Grebien told the retirees.
