AN 18  YEAR-OLD IS IN CUSTODY AFTER A  DOUBLE SHOOTING ON THE CITY'S   NORTH SIDE THAT LEFT A 17 YEAR  OLD FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE THIS  MORNING. NOW, POLICE SAY THAT   SHOOTING HAPPENED JUST AFTER  MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY IN THE AREA  OF ALPHONSE AND THOMAS STREETS.   WE'RE TOLD A 30 YEAR-OLD MAN  WAS ON THE FRONT PORCH WHEN HE  WAS SHOT, WHILE A 17 YEAR-OLD   GIRL WAS INSIDE AND WAS   ACCIDENTALLY HIT BY A BULLET.   THE MAN IS EXPECTED TO SURVIVE,   BUT THE TEEN IS STILL IN  CRITICAL CONDITION. THE SUSPECT   VEHICLE TOOK OFF FROM THE SCENE   AND A SEARCH BEGAN IN   BROCKPORT. POLICE ARRESTING THE   SUSPECT, 18 YEAR OLD MICHAEL  GARCIA. AFTER AN HOURS LONG   STANDOFF OUTSIDE AN APARTMENT   ON NORTH MAIN STREET. GARCIA IS   FACING MULTIPLE CHARGES,  INCLUDING ATTEMPTED MURDER AND  CRIMINAL POSSESSION OF A  WEAPON. HE IS SET TO BE   ARRAIGNED THIS MORNING, AND   WE'RE TOLD MORE PEOPLE COULD BE   CHARGED AS THAT INVESTIGATION   CONTINUES. AND WE DO HAVE A   TRAFFIC ALERT FOR YOU THIS  MORNING OVER IN A IRONDEQUOIT   YOU'RE TAKING A LOOK HERE.  THERE IS A CRASH ON ROUTE 104   WESTBOUND AT 590 SOUTHBOUND. NO   WORD YET HERE ON ANY  SIGNIFICANT SLOWDOWNS, BUT JUST   BE MINDFUL IF YOU DO HAVE TO  HEAD IN THIS DIRECTION. WE'LL   SEE IF WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT  DRIVE TIMES. YOU DO SEE IT'S A  MINOR SLOWDOWN AT THIS POINT.   WE ARE WORKING TO LEARN MORE  DETAILS ABOUT THIS, AND WE'LL   BRING YOU THE LATEST IF WE  LEARN MORE. TWO PEOPLE ARE  RECOVERING AFTER A CRASH ON   ROCHESTER'S WEST SIDE SENT A  CAR SLAMMING INTO A CHURCH. IT  HAPPENED JUST BEFORE TEN IN THE   AREA OF CAMPBELL AND AMES   STREETS. INVESTIGATORS SAY A  DRIVER RAN A RED LIGHT BEFORE   HITTING ANOTHER CAR AND THEN  CRASHED INTO A CHURCH.  THANKFULLY, THOUGH, NO ONE WAS  INSIDE. WE'RE TOLD THERE WAS  SOME STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE   BUILDING. MEANTIME, THANKFULLY,   NO ONE WAS HURT AFTER A FIRE  DAMAGED EIGHT APARTMENTS IN   WAYNE COUNTY. CREWS WERE CALLED   TO DRUMLIN ESTATES IN MARION  AROUND FOUR YESTERDAY   AFTERNOON, WHERE THEY FOUND   FLAMES AND HEAVY BROWN SMOKE.   AUTHORITIES SAY THE FIRE WAS  UNDER CONTROL IN ABOUT 45   MINUTES AND EVERYONE MADE IT  OUT SAFELY. THE RED CROSS IS  ASSISTING DISPLACED RESIDENTS   AND THE CAUSE OF THIS FIRE  REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION.

WE'RE GOING TO SWITCH GEARS NOW   AND GET A LOOK AT THE FORECAST  TODAY BECAUSE WE'RE EXPECTING   SOME HIGHER TEMPERATURES AND A  COUPLE SHOWERS TOO.   >>WE CERTAINLY ARE.   METEOROLOGIST MARTY SNIDER WITH   US NOW WITH WHAT WE CAN EXPECT  AS THE DAY PLAYS OUT MARTY. I'M   CERTAINLY HOPING WE'RE NOT  TALKING ABOUT A SIMILAR WEATHER   STORY TO WHAT WE SAW EARLIER  THIS WEEK.  >>IT LOOKS LIKE WE COULD HAVE A   COUPLE OF WARNINGS BY THE END   OF THE DAY, BUT NOT QUITE AS  WIDESPREAD, NOT QUITE AS STRONG   AS WHAT WE SAW THEN. SO AT  LEAST SOME SIMILARITIES, BUT A  LOT OF DIFFERENCES AS WELL. THE   TIMING MAY BE SIMILAR TOWARDS   THE END OF THE DAY. LATE  AFTERNOON EARLY EVENING TIME  FRAME. SO WE'LL BE WATCHING   THAT AS MAINLY THE SYSTEM. IT'S   WELL TO OUR WEST RIGHT NOW. YOU   CAN SEE IT'S SCATTERED ACTIVITY   WELL UPSTREAM FROM US. WE'VE  BEEN SEEING A FEW ISOLATED  SHOWERS PASS THROUGH VERY, VERY   LIMITED. AND A LOT OF THAT  CONTINUES TO DRAW TO THE EAST   AND AWAY FROM US. SO FOR TODAY  WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE CLOUD  COVER OVERALL WIN OUT. CAN'T  RULE OUT A COUPLE LITTLE BREAKS   HERE AND THERE. AND SOME OF   THOSE CLOUDS ABOUT 65 AT NOON   PROBABLY CLOSING IN ON 70 FOR A   HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY. AND   IT'S TOWARDS THE END OF THE   DAY, LATE AFTERNOON HEADING   INTO THE EVENING. THAT'S WHEN A   FEW OF THOSE THUNDERSTORMS WILL   POP UP, MAYBE SOME SLIGHTLY   STRONGER ONES WEST OF ROCHESTER   VERSUS EAST. AND THEN FOR THE   LONGER TERM, WE COOL DOWN A   LITTLE BIT INTO SATURDAY DOWN   TO 55. THEN NUMBERS LIKELY  RESUME THAT LITTLE BIT OF AN  INCREASE HEADING INTO EARLY   NEXT WEEK BACK MAYBE CLOSER TO  70 BY THE EARLY PART OF NEXT  WEEK. BUT AGAIN, IT'S LATER   TODAY, LATE AFTERNOON, EARLY  EVENING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE  WATCHING CLOSELY FOR THAT RISK  OF SOME STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS  DURING THAT TIME FRAME.   >>ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD. THANK   YOU SIR. WE APPRECIATE IT.  >>ALL RIGHT. GO OFF THE TOP.  NOW START WITH SOME STORIES   THAT HAVE PIQUED OUR INTEREST.  I'M GOING TO KICK THINGS OFF  WITH SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS LIKE   IT'S RIGHT OUT OF A HORROR  MOVIE. SCRATCHING CRACKS IN THE   CEILING AND RACCOONS LITERALLY  HANGING OUT OF ACCESS PANELS IN   THE HOUSE. THIS WAS THE REALITY   FOR ONE BROOKLYN FAMILY, AND  THEY'VE BEEN DEALING WITH IT  FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. GETTING   RID OF THESE ANIMALS HAS ONLY   BEEN HALF THE BATTLE. THIS  WOMAN, ALICE ANN, AND HER   FAMILY ARE IN BROOKLYN AND  THEIR NIGHTMARE STARTED IN  2022, RIGHT AFTER A NEIGHBOR  PURCHASED A NEARBY PROPERTY AND   STARTED SOME CONSTRUCTION.  HOWEVER, WHEN THE CITY ISSUED A   STOP WORK ORDER TO THE PROPERTY   OWNER, THAT SITE WAS ABANDONED.   HOLES AND GAPS IN THE   UNFINISHED STRUCTURE CREATED  THE PERFECT ENTRY POINT FOR   WILDLIFE AND EVEN A LITTLE  PLAYGROUND. SOON AFTER,   RACCOONS FOUND THEIR WAY INTO   THE FAMILY'S CEILING. IT  STARTED WITH NOISE, AND THEN  ONE NIGHT, THE FAMILY WOKE UP   TO FIND A RACCOON ACTUALLY  HANGING OUT OF A CEILING HATCH.   IT GETS WORSE, THOUGH. IN THE   WINTER OF 2023, FIVE BABY   RACCOONS WERE BORN DIRECTLY   ABOVE THEIR BATHROOM. THE   FAMILY SAYS THEY HAVE TRIED   EVERYTHING. THEY'VE CONTACTED   THE DEPARTMENT, THE DEPARTMENT  OF BUILDINGS, CITY COUNCIL  MEMBERS, EVEN THE DEPARTMENT OF   HEALTH. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE  RACCOONS AREN'T CLASSIFIED THE  SAME WAY AS RATS OR OTHER   REGULATED PESTS, SHE WAS TOLD,  BASICALLY, IT'S NOT OUR   PROBLEM. MULTIPLE REQUESTS TO   THE NEIGHBOR TO SEAL UP THE   PROPERTY WENT UNANSWERED, AND   THE FAMILY FINALLY TOOK HIM TO  COURT. IN 2023, A JUDGE ORDERED   THE PROPERTY OWNER TO FIX THE   PROBLEM, BUT THE DAMAGE HAD   ALREADY BEEN DONE. EVEN AFTER   GETTING AN EXTERMINATOR TO GET  THE RACCOONS OUT, SIGNS OF THE  INVASION REMAIN URINE STAINS,   FECES, AND HOLES ALL THROUGHOUT   THE CEILING. THE FAMILY LOST  ALL OF THEIR INSULATION. SOME   PARTS OF THE HOUSE HAVE BEEN  CHEWED, RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT  FIRE RISKS AND LONG TERM  STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. THEY FILED A   CLAIM WITH THEIR INSURANCE AND  WERE DENIED. THEY SAID THE  POLICY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE  FROM NESTING ANIMALS,   INFESTATIONS OR THEIR WASTE.  >>WELL.   >>NOT NOT A GREAT STORY. NO   RIGHT? NO STORY. ORIGINALLY   REPORTED FROM CBS NEWS. THEY  REACHED OUT. THE COMPANY HAS  NOT COMMENTED. A PUBLIC   ADJUSTER SAYS THE CASES CAN GET   A LITTLE TRICKY. THE RACCOON  DAMAGE IS OFTEN EXCLUDED FROM   STANDARD POLICIES, BUT HE SAID  HE NOTICED. OR HE SAID THAT   THIS IS A PRETTY SERIOUS CASE.  RACCOON URINE AND FECES   CONSIDERED TOXIC AND DELAYS IN  CLEANUP CAN ACTUALLY LEAD TO  SOME BIGGER HEALTH RISKS AS   WELL. SO LONG STORY SHORT,  THESE PEOPLE ARE IN QUITE A   SITUATION.  >>YEAH.   >>A LITTLE FUN FACT FOR YOU   THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MY MY  VERY KIND NEIGHBOR WHO LIVES  ACROSS THE STREET, TOLD US AS   SOON AS WE MOVED INTO OUR HOUSE   THAT WE HAD RACCOONS LIVING IN  OUR CHIMNEY THAT WERE   THANKFULLY REMOVED BY THE TIME  WE GOT THERE.   >>WELL. BUT YOU'RE WELCOME.   >>PARTY. YEAH. YOU KNOW, WE   WERE SITTING THERE AND THEY   WERE JUST WALKING ACROSS.   >>THE HOUSE WARMING.  >>APPARENTLY SO. BUT THEY DON'T   LIVE THERE ANYMORE. BUT, HOW  HORRIBLE IS THAT?   >>WELL, I KIND OF BEEN IN A   SIMILAR SITUATION. REALLY?  YEAH. BEFORE YOU STARTED, I, I  HAD A SQUIRREL PROBLEM. OH, AND   CAME HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY,  AND A SQUIRREL HAD CHEWED   THROUGH THE BATHROOM CEILING  AND WAS PEEKING HIS LITTLE HEAD   OUT.  >>NO JOKE. IT'S NOT FUNNY. I'M  SORRY.  >>NO JOKE.  >>NOT FUNNY.  >>THAT WAS FIXED. THEY SAID THE   SQUIRRELS HAD BEEN REMOVED. WE  EVICTED THEM. NOT SIX MONTHS  LATER, ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF  THE HOUSE, IN THE SPARE   BEDROOM, ANOTHER SQUIRREL CAME  THROUGH.  >>NO.   >>IN THE CEILING.   >>SAME BATHROOM.  >>WOULD WAVE. NO, NO, NO, NOT   IN THE BATHROOM. IN THE SPARE   BEDROOM. SPARE BEDROOM. THIS  TIME, CAME THROUGH AND WOULD  WAVE. AND, NOW THAT IS A LEAKY  SPOT. FOR WHATEVER REASON,  WHATEVER THE SQUIRREL DID, HE   DID SO MUCH DAMAGE BECAUSE WE   HAD PEOPLE COME IN. HE PUT IN A   POOL, WE HAD PEOPLE COME IN,  THEY FIXED THAT. THEY FIXED THE   HOLE. THEY APPARENTLY FIXED THE   ROOF WHERE THE SQUIRRELS THEY   THOUGHT WERE GETTING IN. I AM   CONVINCED ON VERY QUIET NIGHTS,   I CAN STILL HEAR THEM IN THE  WALLS. I'M NOT JOKING. OH, I'M  DEAD SERIOUS. I THINK THERE   STILL IS ONE LIVING IN THE  WALLS. THE CATS KNOW WHERE.   >>IT IS. THE GHOST. THE GHOST   OF THE.   >>THE GHOST OF THE SQUIRREL.  ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON TO   ANOTHER STORY. I'M GOING TO BE  TALKING ABOUT A STORY THAT'S  GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION.   BILL BELICHICK, THE LEGENDARY   COACH WITH SIX SUPER BOWL RINGS   NOW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH  CAROLINA, IS BACK IN THE  HEADLINES. BUT THIS TIME IT'S   GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH  FOOTBALL. THIS IS ABOUT HIS 24  YEAR OLD GIRLFRIEND, JORDAN   HUDSON. YOU MADE A SIGH AS SOON   AS I BROUGHT THIS UP, SO I  CAN'T WAIT.   >>IT'S TAKEN OVER MY SOCIAL   MEDIA.  >>WELL, THAT'S THE THING. THEIR   RELATIONSHIP HAS A 49 YEAR AGE  GAP, AND IT'S BEEN MAKING WAVES   SINCE IT WENT PUBLIC IN MID   2024. BUT OVER THE PAST FEW   WEEKS, THOSE WAVES HAVE REALLY  TURNED INTO A STORM. IT STARTED   LAST WEEKEND WITH A CBS SUNDAY  INTERVIEW. HUDSON INTERRUPTED A   REPORTER A NUMBER OF TIMES,   MID-QUESTION SHUTTING DOWN ANY  TALK OF HOW THEY MET, SAYING,   QUOTE, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT  THIS. THAT WAS JUST ONE   INSTANCE TO. BELICHICK LATER  DEFENDED HER, CLAIMING THE  INTERVIEW WAS SUPPOSED TO FOCUS   ON HIS BOOK AND ONLY THAT, BUT  CBS SAID THERE WERE NO LIMITS   SET AND NOTHING WAS OFF THE   TABLE THAT MOMENT. HER STEPPING   IN TO SPEAK FOR HIM HAS LED TO  EVEN BIGGER QUESTIONS. NOW,   CRITICS, INCLUDING A FORMER   PATRIOT, HAVE PUBLICLY WONDERED   WHETHER BELICHICK IS STILL  SHARP ENOUGH TO COACH. THEY'RE  QUESTIONING HIS JUDGMENT, HIS   DECISION MAKING AND HOW MUCH  INFLUENCE HIS GIRLFRIEND JORDAN   HUDSON REALLY HAS. SOME, LIKE   MEGHAN KELLY, HAVE EVEN   DESCRIBED THEIR RELATIONSHIP  AS, QUOTE, WEIRD, CALLING IT  CLOSE TO ELDER ABUSE, POINTING  TO HER CONTROLLING PRESENCE IN  THAT INTERVIEW AND SAYING IF  THE GENDERS WERE REVERSED,  PEOPLE WOULD BE OUTRAGED. AND   WHILE ALL THIS IS PLAYING OUT   IN THE PRESS, HUDSON HAS BEEN   BUILDING A FORTUNE SINCE GOING  PUBLIC WITH BELICHICK. SHE'S  REPORTEDLY ACQUIRED AN $8   MILLION REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO,  SNAPPING UP MULTIFAMILY HOMES,  LUXURY PROPERTIES IN THE BOSTON   AREA, AND ALL THROUGH LLC   LISTINGS. HER AS THE BORROWER.  SHE'S NOT ONLY MANAGING HER OWN   INVESTMENTS, BUT SHE'S ALSO   GETTING INVOLVED IN BELICHICK'S   PROFESSIONAL LIFE, AND THAT HAS   PEOPLE TALKING. SOME SEE THIS   AS A POWER MOVE. OTHERS ARE   SAYING, NOPE, RED FLAG.   WHATEVER YOU MAKE OF THIS, ONE  THING IS CLEAR. LIKE YOU SAID,  WHEN A LEGENDARY COACH AND A 24   YEAR OLD PARTNER AND AN $8  MILLION PORTFOLIO AND A CBS   INTERVIEW ALL COLLIDE, IT   CREATES A STORY THAT IS NOT   GOING AWAY. EVERY OTHER STORY   ON SOCIAL MEDIA, ON TIKTOK, ON  INSTAGRAM.  >>YEAH, I WOKE UP THIS MORNING.   FIRST THING I DO IS CHECK ALL   THE STUFF I MISSED. AND BILL  BELICHICK WAS TRENDING AND MY   FIRST THOUGHT WAS, OH MY GOD,   SOMETHING HAPPENED. YEAH, NOT   THE CASE. IT JUST THIS HAS  BLOWN UP.   >>YEAH. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?   >>I JUST.   >>LOOK WHAT IS IS IT THE AGE  GAP.  >>I WHO CARES. YOU KNOW.  >>WHO CARES LIKE.   >>49 YEARS, 49 YEAR AGE GAP.  WHATEVER DATE WHO YOU WANT TO   DATE, LOVE, WHO YOU WANT TO   LOVE, BLAH BLAH BLAH. I WE'VE   SEEN HIS POSTS WHERE HE'S LIKE,   I TOLD HER OR I SUPPORT HER   DEFENDING ME OR WHATEVER. I   MEAN, IF I WENT IN TO AN  INTERVIEW WITH, YOU KNOW, MY  HUSBAND OR MY BOYFRIEND OR  WHOEVER AND, YOU KNOW, THEY   THOUGHT THAT, LIKE, SOMEBODY  WAS OVERSTEPPING AND MAYBE I  WAS LIKE, JUST WILLING TO   ANSWER THE LIKE, I DON'T KNOW,  I'D WANT SOMEBODY TO STAND UP   FOR ME, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?   MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW. IT'S NOT   FOR ME TO DECIDE.   >>YEAH.   >>I SEE.  >>ALL SIDES OF IT.  >>WHY AREN'T YOU STANDING UP  FOR YOURSELF, THOUGH? I THINK   THAT'S.   >>NO SURE QUESTIONS?  ABSOLUTELY. YEAH, BUT I JUST, I   DON'T KNOW, MAYBE IN THE MOMENT   HE WAS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, I, I   DON'T CARE. AND MAYBE SHE   CARED, I DON'T KNOW.  >>IT'S THE THAT IS FAIR. THAT'S   FAIR AND IT'S PLAUSIBLE. BUT I  LISTEN, I.  >>FEEL LIKE I'M BEING   INTERVIEWED.  >>WHEN YOU'RE, WHEN YOU'RE A  PUBLIC FIGURE LIKE THAT. AND  YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS, A   SPECTACLE BECAUSE, I'M SORRY, A   49 YEAR AGE DIFFERENCE. IT'S A  SPECTACLE,  >>LIKE YOU AND I DATING.  >>IT'D BE. OH, MY GOSH, I'VE  ALREADY WALKED OFF THE SET ONCE   THIS WEEK. YOU WANT TO HAPPEN   AGAIN?  >>NO, I REALLY DON'T.   >>I LISTEN, I THINK PEOPLE ARE  GOING TO QUESTION EXACTLY   WHAT'S GOING ON, AND THE  SILENCE AND THE. WE'RE NOT  TALKING ABOUT THIS DOESN'T DO   ANYTHING TO HELP THE CASE.  >>YEAH.   >>THERE'S JUST MORE QUESTIONS   AND MORE ACCUSATIONS. SHOULD WE   BE MAKING THEM? NO. SHOULD THEY   JUST BE ALLOWED TO BE HAPPY AND   DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AS LONG   AS NOBODY'S GETTING HURT?   ABSOLUTELY. BUT AGAIN, WHEN   YOU'RE A PUBLIC FIGURE, YOU   HAVE TO EXPECT SOME OF THIS IS  COMING, RIGHT?  >>YEAH. APPARENTLY SO.  >>RIGHT. STICK AROUND. SO MUCH  MORE TO COME RIGHT HERE ON AAC.   ROCHESTER.ORG. WHEN WE COME   BACK, WE'RE CHECKING IN WITH  CHRIS LOPEZ WHO'S GOT THE POWER   THIS MORNING.   >>YEAH. DON'T FORGET TAKE US ON   THE GO. WHEREVER YOU ARE.   STREAM US LIVE RIGHT NOW ON THE   13WHAM YOUTUBE CHANNEL. WE'RE   BACK AFTER THIS. >>THE LINEWORKERS OF RGA ARE  OUT AND ABOUT WORKING IN ALL  CONDITIONS, MAKING SURE   EVERYONE'S LIGHTS WORK IN THE   MORNING.  >>YEAH, RGA INVITED CHRIS LOPEZ   OUT THIS MORNING TO SEE WHAT A  DAY IN THE LIFE OF A LINEWORKER   LOOKS LIKE. HE'S LIVE THIS  MORNING ON SCOTTSVILLE ROAD   LEARNING ABOUT THE JOB. CHRIS,  WHEN WE CHECKED IN WITH YOU   LAST, YOU WERE NOT BRAVE ENOUGH   TO GET UP THE POLE JUST YET.  HOW'S IT GOING NOW?   >>OH, HE'S STILL ON THE GROUND.   >>BRAVE ENOUGH. I DIDN'T HAVE   ENOUGH TIME, OKAY? I DIDN'T   HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET UP THIS   POLE. AND. AND I'M GOING TO DO  SO RIGHT NOW. IT'S GOING TO BE  TECHNICALLY HORRIBLE, BUT I'M   GOING TO TRY MY BEST TO GET UP  SOME SOME DECENT. I CAN'T GO  ALL THE WAY UP THERE. I WAS   TOLD FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. I   CANNOT GO ALL THE WAY UP THERE.   SO DAN SCHRACK, I DO NOT WANT   TO HEAR YOU COMPLAINING. IF I   DON'T GET UP TO THE TOP, I'M  GOING TO GO A LITTLE BIT. HI,   I'M HERE WITH GARY THIS   MORNING. THE HARDEST PART ABOUT   DOING THIS, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY.   >>ARE JUST MAKING SURE YOUR   LEGS ARE STRAIGHT AND NOT   GAFFING OUT?  >>THAT'S MY THAT'S THE THAT'S   THE, THAT'S WHAT I'M RUNNING  INTO. OKAY, SO PRETTY MUCH I  HAVE ALL MY BELTS ON, ALL MY  EQUIPMENT. I HAVE THE SAFETY  GEAR HERE. I GOT THE SPIKES ON  MY SHOES THIS MORNING. OKAY,  WE'RE GOING TO START. GET A   LITTLE GRIP HERE.   >>THIS GOT TO GO UP.  >>HOW AM I DOING?   >>DOING GOOD.   >>I'M GOOD. REALLY?   >>KEEP YOUR LEGS STRAIGHT.  >>THIS IS SAFE.   >>YOU'RE DOING GOOD.  >>OKAY.   >>AT THIS POINT, I'M ALREADY  SCARED. I'M ALREADY TIRED. BUT  WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH  THIS.   >>GO A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. YEAH,   YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.  >>WHEN YOU LIKE, ALL THE WAY UP   HERE AND YOU GOT SNOW, SLEET,   YOU GOT RAIN GOING ON. WHAT?  WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? WHAT'S   GOING ON? GET IT DONE. GET IT   DONE ANYWAYS.   >>GET IT DONE AND.  >>GET IT DONE AND GET TO THE  TOP.  >>I COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE BEING   ALL THE WAY UP HERE. I'M AFRAID   OF HEIGHTS WITH SNOW JUST   HITTING MY FACE, HAVING TO USE  BIGGER GLOVES THAN THE ONES   THAT I HAVE ON RIGHT NOW. THESE   ARE KIND OF THE KID GLOVES,   ESSENTIALLY. AND YOU GOT TO FIX   SOMETHING. MY LEGS ARE ALREADY  GETTING REALLY TIRED. I'M NOT   EVEN HALFWAY UP YET, AND I  STILL HAVE TO GET DOWN. AND   GETTING DOWN IS ANOTHER   TECHNIQUE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A  LITTLE HARDER AND IT IS A   LITTLE BIT MORE SCARIER.  >>OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND WE'LL  HE'S OVER THERE.  >>HE'S RETIRING. AND IN A FEW   HE SAYS THAT THEY USED TO DO  THIS WITH NO NO EQUIPMENT AT  ALL. YOU JUST SCALE IT LIKE A   BEAR. HE SAYS THEY'RE FREE  CLIMBING IT. BUT WHEN DID THAT  STOP WILL?  >>I WOULD SAY PROBABLY 2010,  2010.   >>THAT'S WHEN IT STOPPED.   >>COMING DOWN. OKAY. HOW'D I DO?   >>YOU DID GOOD.   >>I GOT A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.  THAT'S HOW BAD I WAS DOING IN   BETWEEN THESE HITS. I WAS   HAVING. THIS EXPLAINED TO ME. I   STILL CAN'T GET IT RIGHT OUT OF   TEN. ONE OUT OF TEN. HOW WAS I,   GARY?   >>ABOUT A FOUR.   >>ABOUT A FOUR.   >>I GIVE YOU A FIVE.  >>OKAY? WILL GIVES ME A FIVE.   >>OKAY.   >>I WANT TO TALK ABOUT STORM.   KIND OF THE PREPARATIONS.   YOU'RE IN REPAIR ESSENTIALLY.   SO WHEN POWER LINES GO DOWN YOU   GUYS ARE OUT FIXING IT  ESSENTIALLY.  >>YEP.  >>WHAT'S THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE   BETWEEN KIND OF YOUR OPERATIONS   WHEN THERE'S A STORM GOING ON,  LIKE A WINTER STORM VERSUS A  NICE DAY LIKE THIS.   >>NICE DAY. SO WINTER STORM,  OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE GOING TO BE  DEALING WITH THE SNOW AND BAD   WEATHER. I MEAN, YOU COULD HAVE   TREES DOWN, YOU COULD HAVE  ANIMALS THAT CAUSE SOME   OUTAGES, COULD HAVE QUITE A BIT   GOING ON OUT THERE. BUT YOU GOT   TO TRACK THROUGH THE SNOW,  BACKYARDS, FENCES. THEN THIS IS   A CLEAN POLE RIGHT NOW. I MEAN,   IN THE REAR LOTS, YOU'RE GOING  TO HAVE TO CLIMB A POLE THAT  HAS COMMUNICATIONS ON IT.   >>AND YOU SAID CLEAN POLE. THAT   MEANS THERE'S NOTHING UP THERE  ESSENTIALLY FOR ME TO FIX.  >>NOTHING FOR YOU TO TRANSITION   TO.   >>OKAY.   >>AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TO   SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE OVERLOOK,   WHEN THEY WHEN THEY THINK ABOUT   COMING TO FIX THEIR DOWNED  POWER LINES, THEY'RE SAYING,  THIS HAS TAKEN TWO HOURS, I   WANT MY INTERNET BACK. I WANT   MY TELEVISION BACK. WHAT THE  HECK IS GOING ON? WHAT DO   PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW? BECAUSE  THAT TOOK A LONG TIME JUST FOR  ME TO GET HALFWAY UP.   >>SO WHEN HE GOT DOWNED POWER   LINES, YOU ALSO GOT TO GO BACK  TO YOUR CONTROL POINTS, OPEN  EVERYTHING UP, MAKE IT SAFE,  GROUND IT SO THE WORKERS CAN  WORK ON IT SAFELY. SO FIRST YOU   GOT TO DO THAT AND THEN YOU CAN   GO BACK THERE, GET ALL THE  EQUIPMENT THAT YOU NEED AND ALL   THE MATERIAL THAT YOU'LL NEED   TO PUT THE WIRES BACK UP. AND   THEN YOU GOT TO CLIMB ALL THE   POLES. SO ESSENTIALLY.  >>JUST AT THOSE SMALL STEPS   THAT I WAS DOING THAT EVERYONE  OVERLOOKS, THEY THINK YOU GUYS  ESSENTIALLY FLY UP THERE AND  FIX IT. IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.   I CAN ATTEST TO THAT FIRSTHAND.   IT'S TOUGH TO GET ALL THE WAY   UP THERE, FIGURE OUT THE  PROBLEM. IF YOU HAVE MORE GOING   ON WITH SNOW, RAIN, IT'S GOING  TO ADD TO THAT TECHNICAL  DIFFICULTY. YES.  >>AND WIND.   >>WIND AS WELL. YEAH. I CAN'T   EVEN IMAGINE WIND. AND I WAS  TOLD THAT THESE ARE NOT THESE   ARE STABLE HERE, BUT SOMETIMES  THEY ARE NOT COMPLETELY STABLE  AND THEY SWAY.  >>YEAH. THESE ARE NEW NEWER   POLES. SO YOU GOT OLDER POLES   THAT YOU GOT TO DEAL WITH.  THEY'RE A LOT SMALLER   SOMETIMES. SO THEY COULD BE   MOVING AS SOON AS YOU GET UP IN   THE AIR. SO NEXT UP BACK FORTH.   >>AND NEXT UP WE'RE GOING TO BE   GOING SKY HIGH IN A BUCKET. I   DON'T HAVE TO CLIMB ANYTHING.   SO IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT   EASIER. BACK TO YOU GUYS IN THE   STUDIO.   >>YEAH I MEAN ARE YOU   IMPRESSED.  >>I WAS I CAN'T I DON'T THINK   THAT I COULD DO THAT. I'M   IMPRESSED WITH ALL OF THE   PEOPLE AT RG.   >>YEAH OF COURSE.   >>WITH CHRIS.   >>HE TOOK LIKE FOUR STEPS.  >>IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. I'D LIKE  TO GIVE IT A TRY THOUGH JUST TO   SEE HOW IT GOES.  >>IT WOULD BE KIND OF FUN.  YEAH, YEAH I FEEL LIKE I COULD  SCALE THAT THING LIKE A MONKEY.   >>YEAH, YEAH. YOU FEEL GOOD?  >>I DO, I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.   WELL.   >>WE SHOULD ABOUT IT. WE SHOULD   GET YOU OUT THERE.  >>YEAH, I'M SURE WE CAN.  ARRANGE UP. HEY, STICK AROUND   WHEN WE COME BACK.  METEOROLOGIST MARK MCCLAIN IS   JOINING US FOR A LOOK AT THE  STORMY CONDITIONS HEADED OUR  WAY TODAY.  >>WE'RE BACK AFTER THIS. WELCOME BACK. MARK IS HERE  GIVING US A LOOK AT THE WARMER  TEMPERATURES TODAY. SOME RAINY  CONDITIONS. A BUSY WEATHER  AFTERNOON. YEAH, AND WEATHER  TRIVIA TOO.   >>YEAH. SO IT'S IN THE BACK OF  YOUR MIND BECAUSE OF THE  WEATHER THAT WE HAD TWO DAYS  AGO. YOU KNOW, TWO AFTERNOONS   AGO, YOU KNOW, YOU HEAR   THUNDERSTORMS. IS IT GOING TO   BE THE SAME KIND OF THING THAT  WE HAD TWO DAYS AGO? IT DOESN'T   LOOK THAT WAY RIGHT NOW. BUT  FOR SPOTS IN WESTERN NEW YORK,  THERE IS A THERE'S A CHANCE   THAT WE COULD SEE A FEW STRONG  TO POSSIBLY SEVERE CELLS LATER  TODAY. BUT LET'S START ON THAT  THEME WITH THE TRIVIA FOR   TODAY. AND MUCH LIKE YESTERDAY,   THERE'S DIFFERENT CRITERIA THAT   YOU HAVE TO GET TO FOR HAIL. WE   SAID IT WAS THREE QUARTERS INCH   HAIL YESTERDAY TO BE, QUOTE,  CONSIDERED SEVERE. TODAY. ONE   COMPONENT OF SEVERE WEATHER IS  THE WIND. HOW WINDY DOES IT   NEED TO BE IN WEATHER TO BE   CONSIDERED SEVERE? ANY THOUGHTS   ON THAT?  >>I DO HAVE SOME THOUGHTS.  >>SO WITH THE AVIATION YOU MAY  KNOW THIS FROM THE AVIATION   STUFF.  >>I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.  >>MAYBE I DON'T KNOW, THEY  MIGHT THEY MIGHT HAVE.  >>WEATHER THEORY IS ROUGH OKAY.   >>SEVEN WAS IT 58, 65 50MPH OR  75 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS TO  BE, QUOTE, CONSIDERED SEVERE IN   WEATHER.  >>DO. WHAT'S THE SUSTAINABILITY   FACTOR HERE?  >>SO THIS IS GUS.   >>JUST GUS.   >>THIS IS GUS. THIS ISN'T ONE   MINUTE WEIGHTED SUSTAINED   AVERAGE.  >>OKAY, OKAY.   >>DON'T YOU LIKE THESE FANCY  QUESTIONS I'M ASKING?   >>I DO.   >>BUT IT'S INTERESTING.   >>IT IS INTERESTING. YOU KNOW,  IT REALLY IS. I THINK I KNOW, I   FEEL LIKE I KNOW.   >>YOU SEE THESE CRAWLS POP UP   ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN,   YOU KNOW, SEVERE THUNDERSTORM   WARNING, MONROE COUNTY. WHAT'S  PROMPTING THAT? WELL, LET'S.  >>LET'S THINK ABOUT THIS. 50  MILES AN HOUR. THAT'S TEN OVER  WHAT IT IS ON WEST HENRIETTA  ROAD 65. THAT'S THE THRUWAY.  75. THAT'S ABBY LEAVING THE   PARKING LOT. OKAY, WAIT.  >>HOLD ON. PAUSE. YOU GOT TO  STOP SAYING THAT BECAUSE PEOPLE   GET UPSET. I DO NOT SPEED OUT   OF THE PARKING LOT. PEOPLE WERE   ANGRY, AND THEY COMMENTED ON  THE YOUTUBE THAT YOU SAID I   SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF MYSELF.  YEAH, WE SAW THAT. THAT IS  GARBAGE NEWS RIGHT THERE.   >>I WILL EPSTEIN FROM ANY   COMMENTS REGARDING ABBY AND   DRIVING.  >>YEAH.   >>I MEAN, I DON'T I.  >>DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION TO   ADD TO THIS.  >>I HATE BOTH OF YOU. LOOK AT   THIS. OH, MY GOD.   >>ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS LOOK AT   WHERE SHE PARKS. AND THEN THE   TIRE TRACKS.  >>YOU GOTTA STOP. YOU'RE GONNA  GET ME IN TROUBLE.  >>THE SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER   IN THE MORNING. I LOVE YOU.   >>YEAH, YOU BEAT IT, PUNK.  ACTUALLY, NO. I'M   >>GONNA LEAVE.  >>HOW ABOUT THAT?   >>BEAT IT PUNK. LET'S TALK.   >>ABOUT THAT SEVERE CHANCE.   LET'S GET.  >>BACK TO SEVERE CHANCE.  >>AND I'M GOING TO PUNCH.   >>YOU BACK. ANYWAY. OH, MAN.  MOST OF.  >>THIS, MOST OF THIS WILL STAY  TO OUR SOUTHWEST. OKAY. SO  POSSIBLE STORMS. YOU KNOW WHEN  YOU WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS   IS THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER  AND THAT YELLOW HATCHED AREA  SOUTH OF BUFFALO. THIS THIS   WOULD BE AN AREA THAT WOULD   HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE TO SEE A   SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. YOU SEE  ROCHESTER IN THE GREEN AREA. SO   THAT WOULD BE THE LOWEST THREAT   LEVEL. YOU KNOW, ONE THROUGH  FIVE. THAT MEANS THAT THERE IS  A CHANCE. BUT THAT CHANCE IS  PRETTY LOW TO SEE HEAVY RAIN,   LIGHTNING, HAIL, DAMAGING WIND  OF COURSE WILL FALL, WILL   FOLLOW IT FOR YOU. AND YOU  REMEMBER I PUT THIS ON THE AIR  TWO DAYS AGO. WE HAD SOME OF  THESE NUMBERS THAT WERE INTO  THE THOUSANDS OF JOULES PER   KILOGRAM. WATCH TO THE  SOUTHWEST. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE  SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS GO UP A   LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT NEARLY AS   HIGH AS WHAT WE EXPERIENCED TWO   AFTERNOONS AGO. SO THERE IS   SOME STORM ENERGY THERE. IT IS  NOT NEARLY TO THE SAME TO THE   SAME AREA THAT WE WERE TWO DAYS   AGO. I MEAN, WE HAD   TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S, WE HAD   DEW POINTS IN THE 60S. WE   REALLY HAD ALMOST, YOU KNOW,  THAT SUMMER LIKE SETUP FOR  STORMS. THIS IS A MUCH  DIFFERENT SCENARIO. SO, YOU   KNOW, WE CAN WE CAN LOOK AT IT  FROM THAT STANDPOINT. NOW.  RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT SOME  SPRINKLES EAST OF ROCHESTER AND   THEY'RE TRENDING OFF TO THE   EAST. BUT WE LOOK BACK TO THE   WEST TO FIND THAT NEXT STORM  SYSTEM. AND THERE IT IS LOW   PRESSURE BASICALLY NEAR CHICAGO   AT THIS POINT AND OUT AHEAD OF  THAT SOME SHOWERS. SO HERE WE   GO FOR THE AFTERNOON. ONE 2:00  LOOKS MAINLY DRY AT THAT POINT.   BUT THERE'S THAT LINE COMING  THROUGH A SECOND LINE AROUND  MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. BOTH OF THESE   SHOULD BE WEAKENING ON THEIR  WAY IN AS THEY DRIFT OFF TO THE   EAST OF ROCHESTER. BUT WE STILL   HAVE TO LEAVE THAT CHANCE FOR   SOME RAIN. AND EVEN ON FRIDAY,  ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF  ROCHESTER, THERE'S A COLD FRONT   LINGERING. AND UNFORTUNATELY,   STARTING OFF THE WEEKEND THERE  SATURDAY MORNING, IT LOOKS LIKE   THERE'S A CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN  IN THE FORECAST. SO ONE OF THE  PARTS THAT YOU'LL NOTICE,   ESPECIALLY WEST, IS THAT THERE  COULD BE A DOWNPOUR OR TWO RAIN   AMOUNTS UP TO A HALF INCH. IT   LOOKS LIKE THOSE AMOUNTS ARE  LESSER. AGAIN, AS THOSE STORMS  WEAKEN OFF TO THE EAST OF   ROCHESTER. BUT TEMPERATURE  RIGHT NOW 49 DEGREES, NO WIND.  NICE TO SEE A LITTLE GREEN ON   THE SCREEN THERE AT THE BOTTOM  OF THE SCREEN. AND THE PLANNING   FORECAST TODAY IS GOING TO HAVE   THAT TEMPERATURE TOPPING OUT  NEAR 70, WITH THE EXTENDED  FORECAST SHOWING A COOL DOWN  INTO THE WEEKEND. WE'LL DROP  BACK THROUGH THE 60S INTO THE   MID 50S WITH A WARM A WARM UP   NEXT WEEK. YOU KNOW, BY THE   MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THERE'S  SOME OF THE DATA IS A LITTLE  CONFLICTED THERE. AS IF THAT  WARMING TREND CONTINUES. WE'LL  WE'LL HAVE TO FINE TUNE THAT AS   WE GET CLOSER.  >>ALL RIGHT MARK, THANK YOU SO  MUCH.   >>TIME RIGHT NOW. 831 MUCH MORE   TO COME HERE ON AKA ROCHESTER.  >>WE'RE BACK RIGHT AFTER THIS. 833 THIS THURSDAY MORNING.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR STICKING   WITH US HERE ON ROCHESTER.  WE'RE GOING TO SWITCH GEARS   RIGHT NOW AND TAKE AN IN-DEPTH  LOOK AT A STORY WE HAVE BEEN  FOLLOWING FOR YOU PRETTY  CLOSELY.  >>YEAH. THE ONONDAGA COUNTY   DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS 11 HIGH  SCHOOL STUDENTS WON'T FACE  FURTHER CHARGES FOR WHAT HE   CALLS HAZING ON STEROIDS.   >>FOR MORE ON THIS STORY AND  WHAT'S TO COME, WE'RE JOINED  NOW BY INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER   MARY KEELER FROM OUR SISTER   STATION, CNY CENTRAL. MARY,   THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING   US. WE APPRECIATE IT.   >>THANK YOU. ALWAYS HAPPY TO  HELP OUT MY HOMETOWN IN   ROCHESTER. HI FROM SYRACUSE.  >>ABSOLUTELY. SO LET'S DIVE   RIGHT IN. THIS STORY PLAYING  OUT OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS  IN THE MEDIA WITH WITH IT   REALLY DOMINATING HEADLINES   EVEN AT THE NATIONAL SCALE. FOR   SOMEONE WHO IS NEW TO THIS, CAN   YOU BREAK IT DOWN FOR US?   >>SO WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS.   AND AS YOU SAID, IT'S BEEN  DOMINATING NATIONAL HEADLINES.  WE'VE BEEN SEEING OUR LOCAL   COVERAGE ON CNN AND ALL THE   NETWORKS. BUT IF YOU ARE NEW TO   THIS STORY, HERE'S WHAT YOU   NEED TO KNOW. WE AT THIS TIME   KNOW THAT THERE WERE SOME   YOUNGER MEMBERS OF THE WESTHILL   BOYS VARSITY LACROSSE TEAM, AND   THERE WERE SOME MORE SENIOR   MEMBERS OF THAT TEAM, OLDER   MEMBERS OF THAT TEAM. SOME OF   THEM WERE TOLD, ARE 18 YEARS  OLD. THEY WERE UNDER THE  IMPRESSION THAT THEY WERE GOING   TO HAVE SOME BONDING WITH THOSE   OLDER MEMBERS OF THE TEAM,  THOSE UPPERCLASSMEN. THEY WERE  TOLD THAT LAST THURSDAY NIGHT   THEY WERE GOING TO HEAD TO A  LACROSSE GAME WITH THEM, AND  THEN GO TO MCDONALD'S TO GET  SOME FOOD AFTER. INSTEAD, IT  WAS ALL A RUSE. WE'RE HEARING   FROM THE ONONDAGA COUNTY  DISTRICT ATTORNEY. THERE WERE   FIVE VICTIMS. THEY BELIEVE ONE  OF THEM WAS THE ONE WHO GOT THE   WORST OF WHAT I'M ABOUT TO  DESCRIBE. FOUR OF THEM HAVE   SEEMINGLY HAD SEEMINGLY BEEN  ABLE TO ESCAPE. ONE YOUNG MALE  STUDENT, HE WAS ACTUALLY TIED   UP. HE HAD A PILLOWCASE PUT   OVER HIS HEAD. HE WAS PUT INTO  THE TRUNK OF A CAR AND DRIVEN   TO A REMOTE PART OF ONONDAGA  COUNTY. WE TRIED TO GET SOME  MORE DETAILS ON THAT. WE WERE   NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM AN EXACT  LOCATION, BUT WE WERE TOLD THAT   THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THE CAR  DRIVING HIM IN THE TRUNK. AND   THEN ONCE THEY GOT TO THIS  REMOTE AREA, THERE WERE MORE  PEOPLE THERE, MEMBERS OF THAT   TEAM ALL DRESSED IN BLACK. ONE  OF THEM HAD AT LEAST WHAT   LOOKED LIKE A HANDGUN AND A   KNIFE. THEY CAME OUT, AND MOST  OF THIS WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEO. SO   THIS CREATED AN UPROAR IN THE   COMMUNITY. THERE WAS A LOT OF   QUESTIONS. WE GOT A BRIEFING  FROM THE THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY  ON TUESDAY, AND HE CALLED THIS,   AS YOU SAID, HAZING ON  STEROIDS, GIVING A 48 HOUR  REALLY ULTIMATUM TO ANYONE  INVOLVED TO TURN THEMSELVES IN  AND GET AN APPEARANCE TICKET  THAT HAPPENED INSIDE 24 HOURS   OF THAT FIRST 48 HOURS.   >>MARY, I WANT TO CONTINUE  TALKING ABOUT IT BEING CAUGHT   ON VIDEO. IS THIS SOMETHING?  AND MAYBE YOU KNOW THIS OR  MAYBE YOU DON'T. IS THIS  SOMETHING THAT SURVEILLANCE   VIDEO CAPTURED, OR IS THIS  SOMETHING THAT THE SUSPECTS IN  THIS ARE ACCUSED OF RECORDING?  >>WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE VIDEO.   WE KNOW THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY   HAS SEEN THE VIDEO. AND HE SAID   IT'S BEEN CIRCULATING. SO WE  KNOW THAT IT'S MOST LIKELY  SURVEILLANCE HASN'T BEEN  BROUGHT UP HERE AT DUE TO THE   REMOTE NATURE OF WHEREVER THIS  ALL ALLEGEDLY OCCURRED. BUT   WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT IT  SEEMS LIKE SOME OF THE  PERPETRATORS WHO ARE ACCUSED OF   BEING INVOLVED HERE, THAT'S HOW   THIS WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEO.   >>MARY.   >>I WANT TO ASK HOW THE VICTIMS   ARE DOING, ESPECIALLY THE ONE   WHO WAS, YOU KNOW, HAD HIS HEAD   COVERED IN A PILLOWCASE AND   SHOVED INTO A TRUNK AND THEN  LEFT IN A REMOTE AREA. BUT I  ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHAT  POTENTIAL CHARGES THERE ARE   TALKS OF IN THIS BECAUSE, AS  YOU MENTIONED AT THE VERY   BEGINNING OF THIS, SOME OF  THOSE OLDER MEMBERS ARE 18.   >>YEAH. AND I WANT TO HIT ON  THAT POINT FIRST BECAUSE IT'S   SOMETHING WE'RE CONTINUING TO   DO IN OUR REPORTING TODAY HERE  IN SYRACUSE IS, YOU KNOW, GET   THE NAMES OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO   ARE 18, BECAUSE THAT IS PUBLIC  INFORMATION AND THAT IS, YOU  KNOW, AS IS ANYBODY WHO IS  CHARGED WITH A CRIME WHO IS 18  OR OLDER. THAT'S PUBLIC   INFORMATION. AND WE SHOULD KNOW   THAT. SO WE CONTINUE THAT. BUT  WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE  VICTIMS. FIVE IN TOTAL, ONE   GETTING THE BRUNT OF ALL OF   THAT. THAT WAS JUST DESCRIBED.  BECAUSE IF THEY ARE A MINOR,  THIS WILL LIKELY BE HANDLED   BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THERE'S A  LOT OF PRIVACY LAWS THAT  PROTECT THEIR IDENTITY. BUT WE  DO KNOW THAT THESE VICTIMS ARE  NOT ALONE. I'VE SPOKEN WITH   EXPERTS, NATIONAL EXPERTS THIS  WEEK POINTING TO A STUDY SAYING   THAT AT LEAST 1.5 MILLION HIGH  SCHOOLERS REPORT BEING HAZED  EACH YEAR, AND THAT IS GROSSLY  UNDERSTATED, THEY TELL ME,  BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY   THOUSANDS EACH DAY HAPPENING,   THESE HAZING INCIDENTS AND MANY   PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO COME  FORWARD, EVER.  >>IT IS REALLY SO SAD, MARY.  WE'RE RUNNING LOW ON TIME HERE.   I WANT TO KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT  IN THIS INVESTIGATION.  >>SO WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW IS  THAT THE 11 THAT HAVE SEEMINGLY   TURNED THEMSELVES IN THE DA   CONFIRMED THAT THEY WILL THEY   HAVE GOTTEN APPEARANCE TICKETS.   AT THIS POINT. WE HAVE  CONFIRMED THEY HAVE NOT BEEN  ARRAIGNED YET. WE KNOW THAT IS  FORTHCOMING, BUT REALLY THE   APPEARANCE TICKET IS GOING TO   BE FOR UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT.   SO NOT A NOT A CHARGE IN THE  ADULT, YOU KNOW, REGULAR  CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM FOR   THESE PERPETRATORS.   >>ALL RIGHT. MARY KEELER, CNY   CENTRAL. MARY, THANK YOU SO   MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS   MORNING. WE LOOK FORWARD TO   WATCHING YOUR CONTINUING  COVERAGE OF THIS AND, HOPEFULLY   SPEAKING WITH YOU AGAIN IN THE  NEAR FUTURE FOLLOWING ANY NEW   DEVELOPMENTS.   >>THANKS, GUYS. HAPPY TO DO IT.   >>TIME RIGHT NOW IS 839. MUCH   MORE TO COME HERE ON OUR  ROCHESTER. WE'LL CHECK BACK IN  WITH CHRIS LOPEZ COMING UP  NEXT.  WELCOME BACK. THE LINE  WORKERS OF R, G AND E PLAY AN   IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE DELIVERY  OF ENERGY TO OUR HOMES.   >>YEAH. RAIN. SNOW, RAIN.   SHINE, SNOW, SLEET. IT WAS ALL  OF THOSE IN ONE NINE. THEY ARE  OUT THERE RESTORING POWER TO  EVERYONE, EITHER ABOVE GROUND   OR BELOW GROUND. CHRIS LOPEZ  WAS INVITED TO SEE WHAT A DAY   IN THE LIFE OF ONE OF THESE   WORKERS IS. I THINK HE'S IN THE   CHERRY PICKER NOW. HEY THERE,   CHRIS.  >>HEY, DAN, I'M IN THE BUCKET.  OKAY, IT'S CALLED THE BUCKET,   MAN. AND I'VE GRADUATED FROM  CLIMBING SCHOOL, AND THIS IS  THE NEXT PHASE. ESSENTIALLY,  I'M HERE WITH KAYLA ROBINSON  THIS MORNING. TALK TO ME A  LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS  DO IN HERE WHEN YOU GO UP.  >>YEAH. SO LIKE YOU SAID, YOU   GRADUATED FROM THE POLE. NOW  YOU'RE INTO THE BUCKET. DID   GREAT ON THE POLE. SO WHEN  WE'RE IN A BUCKET, YOU MIGHT  SEE US REMOVING TREES FROM THE  LINES. HANGING WIRES, CUTOUTS.  ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF.  WE'RE USING THIS BUCKET FOR.  YEP.  >>AND WHEN YOU GUYS ARE UP HERE   AT WILL WAS TELLING ME. NO FEAR   AT ALL. JUST NOTHING AT ALL.  NOTHING. EVEN WITH THE WIND, IT   JUST WOULD GET MORE STRESSFUL.  THAT'S ABOUT IT.  >>YEAH. YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE   ATTITUDE FOR SURE.  >>OKAY, I WANT TO. I WANT TO GO   UP.   >>YES.  >>LET'S DO IT. I'M GOING TO BE  GOING UP TO THAT POLE RIGHT   THERE TO ESSENTIALLY FIX  WHATEVER IS GOING ON. SO I'M  READY TO BE RAISED UP RIGHT   NOW.  >>ALL RIGHT. LET'S DO IT.   >>AND GUYS IN HERE YOU DON'T  HAVE THE VANTAGE POINT, BUT   IT'S ESSENTIALLY INCREDIBLY   SMALL. IT'S NO NO ROOM FOR A  SECOND PERSON UP HERE. AND WILL   WHO IS A LINE WORKER,   CONSTANTLY GOES UP IN THESE IN  THESE BUCKETS. YEAH I'M READY   WILL. AND CONSTANTLY GOES UP IN   THESE BUCKETS. I'M SO AFRAID OF   HEIGHTS RIGHT NOW. THEY GO UP   IN THESE BUCKETS AND THEY HAVE  TO DEAL WITH THINGS LIKE WIND,  THINGS LIKE SNOW, THINGS LIKE   SNOW AND, DEAL WITH, OF COURSE,   THE HEIGHTS. I, I CAN'T IMAGINE   NO ONE ON RGA IS IS SOMEONE HAS   TO BE AFRAID OF HEIGHTS. SO YOU   GOT TO OVERCOME THIS QUITE A  BIT. AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT,   YOU'RE CONSTANTLY DEALING WITH  CHANGING CONDITIONS AS WELL. SO   IT COULD BE WINDY FOR MAYBE   FIVE MINUTES AND THEN RAIN  COMES IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES  AND THEN IT CALMS DOWN. AND   THEN MAYBE A DOG IS BARKING AT  YOU AND MAYBE YOU CAN'T. YOU'RE   NOT ABLE TO TALK TO SOMEONE   WHEN YOU'RE DOWN THERE. AND   COMMUNICATION, I'M TOLD, IS   INCREDIBLY KEY HERE. OKAY.  WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE  POWER LINE, OKAY? AND BEING UP  HERE, IT'S NOT TOO, TOO BAD.  LOOKING DOWN, WE'RE PROBABLY, I   DON'T KNOW, 40, 50FT UP. AND  ESSENTIALLY I WOULD START.  PULLING THIS AND SLICING WIRES,   FIXING STUFF. THEY THEY HAVE A  TON OF TOOLS IN HERE AT YOUR  DISPOSAL. DIFFERENT WRENCHES,   VARIOUS TOOLS TO HELP YOU FIX   THE PROBLEM. BUT WHEREVER KAYLA   IS AT, IF SHE CAN HEAR ME. HEY,   KAYLA.  >>HEY.  >>WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE   HARDEST PART OF BEING UP HERE?  IS IT? I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE  WEATHER.  >>YEP.  >>THE THE WEATHER BEING THE   MOST KIND OF FACTOR.  >>YEAH. SO THE WIND, WE DO HAVE   A CERTAIN THRESHOLD TO WHICH WE   CAN WORK UP INTO. SO 40MPH.   THAT'S OUR THRESHOLD. AND THEN  IF THERE'S ANY THUNDER, THERE'S   GOING TO BE LIGHTNING. SO WE'RE   GOING TO HAVE TO COME DOWN. SO  THAT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME FOR,  FOR POWER RESTORATION.  >>AND I HAVE TO ASK IS EVERY  SINGLE POLE AND IN TERMS OF THE   STRUCTURE, IS THAT ALWAYS GOING   TO BE THE SAME IN TERMS OF THE  NINE DIFFERENT COUNTIES THAT  YOU GUYS COVER AT RGA? BECAUSE  I'D IMAGINE WHEN YOU GET UP   HERE AND YOU'RE LIKE, I'VE  BARELY WORKED ON THIS TYPE.   >>YEAH, IT IT VARIES. SO YOU  MIGHT COME UP TO SOMETHING THAT   YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. BUT   IN OUR AREA THEY SHOULD, YOU  KNOW, PRETTY SIMILAR.   >>YEAH. AND THEN IF I HAD TO  ASK YOU OR I'M GOING TO ASK   YOU, WHAT'S THE HARDEST WEATHER   CONDITION TO DEAL WITH? WILL  WAS TELLING ME IT WAS THE WIND.   >>YEP. I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.   DEFINITELY THE WIND, BECAUSE  YOU'RE SWAYING ALL OVER THE   PLACE.  >>AND THE POLES. I MENTIONED IN   THE IN THE HIT WHEN I WAS   CLIMBING UP THIS, THESE POLES   HERE THAT I WAS CLIMBING UP   VERY TRADITIONAL, PRETTY  STURDY. THEY'RE PRETTY THICK.   YOU CAN CLIMB UP PRETTY EASILY.   YOU GET A GOOD GRIP IN THERE.   THEY'RE TRAINING POLES. BUT   SOME OF THE POLES YOU WERE  TELLING ME ABOUT, WILL WAS  TELLING ME ABOUT. EVERYONE HERE   WAS SAYING THEY'RE NOT THE  SAME. SOME ARE PRETTY OLD, AND  THEY'RE GOING TO SWAY EVEN  WITHOUT WIND.   >>OH, YEAH. THEY'RE LIKE  TOOTHPICK SIZES, SO IT'S PRETTY   DIFFICULT. YEP.   >>AND TRAINING UP HERE, HOW   LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET  CERTIFIED FROM CLIMBING THE   POLE TO GET INTO THIS? BECAUSE  YOU ESSENTIALLY GRADUATE FROM   CLIMBING TO BEING IN THIS IN  THIS BUCKET.  >>YEP. SO APPRENTICES START   THEY HAVE SIX WEEKS OF CLIMBING   SCHOOL, BUT THEIR ENTIRE  SCHOOLING IS FOUR YEARS, SO IT  TAKES TIME.   >>WELL, I'M READY TO BE LET   DOWN. YOU SAID THIS WOULD BE A  LITTLE SHAKY. ALL RIGHT, GUYS,  DAY IN THE LIFE HERE AT RGA.  IT'S CLIMBING POLES. I WAS  LEARNING ABOUT ALL THE  DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT. IT'S   PRETTY IF YOU DON'T LIKE  HEIGHTS, MAN, I DON'T SEE HOW   YOU COULD DO THIS FOR A LIVING  AT ALL. HAT. HATS OFF TO THE  MEN AND WOMEN THAT GO OUT.  RAIN, SLEET, SNOW, LIKE WE'RE   SAYING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE   WIND. THEY TELL ME THE WIND IS  THE WORST. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE   YOU CAN'T COMMUNICATE. THE POLE   IS SWAYING. IF YOU'RE IN THIS   THING RIGHT HERE, THIS, THIS  BUCKET, IT'S ALSO GOING TO  GOING TO SWERVE A LITTLE BIT  TOO. AND I THINK COMMUNICATION  IS PROBABLY THE BEST. SO IF YOU   NEED TO TALK TO ANOTHER LINE  WORKER YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK   ESSENTIALLY. SO HATS OFF TO THE   MEN AND WOMEN AT RGA. THANK YOU   GUYS FOR SHOWING ME AROUND AND  BEARING WITH ME THROUGHOUT THE  MORNING. BACK TO YOU GUYS IN  THE STUDIO.   >>I'M SO PROUD.   >>ABBY. I AM NOT GOING TO.  CHRIS. ABBY KEEPS ON TELLING ME   TO ASK YOU TO GRAB ONE OF THOSE   LINES. I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT.  I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT.   >>I WOULD NEVER.  >>I THINK THEY'RE FUNCTIONAL.   SO THANKS A LOT, ABBY.  >>CHRIS, YOU KNOW ME. I WOULD   NEVER SAY THAT. I WAS JUST  ABOUT TO SAY.   >>I WAS PROUD OF.   >>DENY, DENY DENY. THANK YOU.   >>CHRIS.  >>BYE. HEY, WHEN WE COME BACK,  WE'RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT AN  UPCOMING EVENT THAT IS PUTTING  A CHEAPER PRICE TAG ON TECH.  >>WE'LL HAVE MORE AFTER THIS.    THIS MORNING WE ARE TALKING   TECH.

THANK YOU BOTH   SO MUCH FOR WAKING UP AND   COMING IN. WE APPRECIATE IT. SO   TALK TO US. IS THIS THE FIRST   TIME YOU HAVE DONE THIS EVENT?  >>WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE. THIS IS   GOING TO BE OUR BIGGEST EVENT.  WE'VE GOT MORE INVENTORY, A LOT   MORE TVS THAN WE'VE DONE IN THE   PAST, AND JUST OPEN IT UP TO  THE COMMUNITY, DO IT ABOUT  TWICE A YEAR USUALLY.   >>EXCELLENT.  >>SO OKAY. TELEVISIONS, WHAT  ELSE CAN PEOPLE EXPECT?   >>WE'LL HAVE MOBILE DEVICES,  TABLETS, LAPTOPS. WE'VE GOT   CUSTOM BUILT PCS FROM LIKE HIGH   END TO LOWER END EVERYTHING   THAT CAN RUN A VIDEO GAME STILL   THOUGH. SO IF YOU'RE IN THE   MARKET FOR THAT, IT'S A GOOD  CHANCE TO GET SOMETHING THAT'S  A LOT CHEAPER. CUSTOM BUILT BY  SOMEONE WHO'S AN EXPERT. AND  THEN WE'VE GOT LIKE KIDS TOYS,  JUST WIDE ASSORTMENT OF THINGS.   YEAH.   >>AND TAYLOR, WHY WOULD PEOPLE  WANT TO GO TO AN EVENT LIKE   THIS RATHER THAN BUYING THE   ITEM NEW?   >>WELL, NOT ONLY IS IT  SOMETHING THAT'S MORE LOCAL, SO   YOU CAN QUITE LITERALLY SEE IT,   BUT, IT'S ALSO WHEN YOU'RE  SHOPPING SUSTAINABLY AND BUYING   PRODUCTS THAT ARE REFURBISHED,  IT HELPS THE ENVIRONMENT AND IT   SHOPPING SUSTAINABLY HELPS THE  ENVIRONMENT OVERALL. BUT BUYING   THIS REFURBISHED TECH REALLY  EXTENDS THE LIFE. THEREFORE IT  IMPACTS IT LESSENS OUR IMPACT   ON THE ENVIRONMENT OVERALL.   >>YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND FOR   THOSE WHO ARE UNFAMILIAR, GIVE  US AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT SUN KING   DOES. AND, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE   WORK THAT GOES INTO HELPING THE   ENVIRONMENT.  >>YEAH.

SO,   WE'RE ABLE TO PROCESS A LOT OF  DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATERIALS  AND, WE'RE ABLE TO REPAIR AND   REFURBISH A LOT MORE THAN OTHER   PLACES, ARE SOMETIMES ABLE TO.  SO WE'RE ABLE TO KIND OF DO   BOTH. AND THAT GIVES US A   UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE TO BE ABLE   TO GIVE BACK EITHER JUST THAT   MATERIAL AND GET IT BACK INTO   CIRCULATION AS A MATERIAL, OR   IF IT'S THE PRODUCT STILL, THAT   IS MUCH MORE VALUABLE THAT IT   HAS LESS CARBON FOOTPRINT. AND  JUST HELPS OVERALL, EVEN MORE   SO BEING ABLE TO INFLUENCE IT   THAT WAY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO   US.   >>I'M WONDERING IF WE CAN PULL  THAT VIDEO BACK UP OF THE, SALE   IN THE PAST, BECAUSE I WAS KIND   OF SURPRISED TO SEE ALL THAT  YOU HAVE THERE.

WE WERE ASKING ABOUT   THE WIND ABOUT A HALF HOUR AGO.   THE WEATHER TRIVIA SAID, WELL,  WHAT'S THAT THRESHOLD? YOU  KNOW, YOU START TO GET TREE   DAMAGE. YOU START TO GET  INFRASTRUCTURE DAMAGE AT THIS   AT THIS SPECIFIC POINT. SO FROM   AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT, THIS   IS WHERE THE TROUBLE STARTS.  SPEAKING OF TROUBLEMAKERS, IS   IT 58MPH, 65MPH, 50 OR 75MPH?   WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHERE'S YOU  KNOW, THINK ABOUT A FULLY   FOLIATED TREE, YOU KNOW, LEAFED   OUT AND TAKING ON WIND GUSTS.   WHERE DO YOU THINK THAT THE   HARDWOOD TREES ARE GOING TO   HAVE A HARD TIME?   >>ABBY.   >>WHY WHY DO I.   >>I'M GOING TO SAY I'M GOING TO   SAY, I WANT TO GO 65, BUT I'M   GOING TO SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE   AND SAY, 58.  >>SO MARY AND AMY SAY, C JULIE  SAYS B.   >>I'LL GO WITH 58.  >>58, 58 IS THE FINAL ANSWER.   >>YEAH. WHY NOT?  >>OKAY. YOU'RE GOING TO GO 58.  YEAH OKAY. GUESS WHAT 58. NICE.   YOU NAILED IT. SO THAT'S THAT'S   THE THRESHOLD WHERE YOU START   TO SEE, MORE DAMAGE OR WE GO  FROM WHAT WOULD BE VERY   ISOLATED INSTANCES OF DAMAGE.   IT'S A DISEASED TREE LOSING A   LIMB OR SOMETHING UNDERNEATH  THAT THRESHOLD, YOU KNOW, ABOVE   58MPH, EVEN EVEN HEALTHY TREES  ARE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME   WITH THAT KIND OF WIND  VELOCITY. AND GET THIS, THE   HIGHEST WIND GUST EVER RECORDED   ON THIS PLANET. BARROW ISLAND,  AUSTRALIA ON APRIL 10TH, 1996,  THE WIND REGISTERED 253MPH.   >>OKAY, SO.   >>YEAH.   >>WOULD THAT NOT JUST I MEAN,   WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE WOULD THAT  DO? OBVIOUSLY DEVASTATION.  >>CATASTROPHIC.   >>BUT LIKE LIKE WHAT ARE WE   TALKING.  >>SO A 253MPH,  >>IS IT GOING TO BLOW OVER THE  HOUSE AND.  >>EVERYTHING THAT'S ABOVE   GROUND WOULD BE TOPPLED? OKAY.  EVEN WELL CONSTRUCTED STEEL AND   CONCRETE BUILDINGS, YOU'D HAVE  TO BE UNDERGROUND. JUST THE   DEBRIS ALONE. A PENCIL, ERASER.   >>EVEN STEEL AND CONCRETE.  >>BUILDING 100MPH. SO A TWO BY  FOUR CAN GO THROUGH A BRICK   CHIMNEY AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AT   100MPH. SO YOU START TO THINK   ABOUT THAT KIND OF STUFF. AND   YEAH, THERE'S NO NO WOODEN  FRAMED STRUCTURE. YOU KNOW, OUR   HOUSES AROUND HERE, THE   ENGINEERING CODE IS, YOU KNOW,  SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 80 AND 90.  YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING  THE THE SECOND THE ROOF COMES   OFF, THE HOUSE TOPPLES BECAUSE  THE ROOF IS WHAT HOLDS THE  HOUSE UP. OKAY? THE WALLS OF  THE CONNECTED. YEAH. THE ROOF   GOES, THE WALLS JUST FOLD IN  LIKE A DECK OF CARDS. YOU KNOW,   THE CARD HOUSE THAT YOU BUILD.  >>SO THAT'S WILD.   >>THAT IS.  >>REALLY TERRIFYING. YEAH. WHEN   WAS THAT AGAIN?   >>THAT WAS IN 1996. THAT WAS  DURING A CYCLONE. EMILY. I'D  HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT   CYCLONES NAME, BUT IT WAS   DURING A CYCLONE THAT THAT WAS  THE HIGHEST GUST IN THE UNITED  STATES WAS MOUNT WASHINGTON IN  NEW HAMPSHIRE, 1934. THERE WAS  A GUST OF 231MPH. THAT WAS  DURING A NOR'EASTER. OKAY.  >>WOW.  >>THAT WAS GOING UP THE COAST.  CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?   >>NO.   >>IT'S WILD.  >>AND THEN, OF COURSE,  TORNADOES WOULD HAVE GUSTS THAT   WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER. BUT WE'LL   NEVER KNOW BECAUSE WE CAN'T   CONSTRUCT EQUIPMENT THAT CAN  WITHSTAND THAT KIND OF FORCE.   YEAH. SO THAT WE'LL NEVER GET   YOU'LL NEVER SEE GUSTS MUCH   HIGHER THAN THAT UNLESS IT'S  SOME NEW TECHNOLOGY COMES OUT   THAT WE CAN USE.  >>THAT'S WILD.  >>IT'S PRETTY CRAZY. IT IS  PRETTY CRAZY. LET'S GO TO, THE  MUDDY, POOR OUTLOOK.  >>THERE THEY ARE.   >>IT'S DIESEL AND TANK. THANKS,   BECCA, FOR SHARING THE PICS ON  13WHAM.COM. CHIME IN. WE'D LOVE   TO SEE THEM. AND WE HAD A LOT   OF LOT OF PUP PICS COME IN THE  LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. PUPS ARE   GOING TO HAVE WET PAWS LATE   THIS AFTERNOON. THIS EVENING ON   FRIDAY, ALSO THAT CHANCE AND  EVEN INTO EARLY SATURDAY  MORNING. BUT WE'LL START TO DRY   OUT SUNDAY AND MONDAY SO WE CAN   GET DIESEL AND TANK OUT THERE,  GET SOME EXERCISE INTO THE OLD  PUP. WE HAD A HARD TIME GETTING   INDY OUT YESTERDAY.   >>SHE WAS NOT.  >>HAVING IT. WELL SHE WAS AND   THEN SHE DIDN'T WANT TO COME.   YOU KNOW ONCE THEY'RE OUT THEN  THEY DON'T WANT TO COME BACK  IN. SO THE REASON THAT THE  MUDDY, POOR OUTLOOK HAS A   CHANCE FOR WET PAWS IS BECAUSE  OF THAT SLIGHT CHANCE FOR   SEVERE STORMS, AND I THINK THIS   IS A SLIGHT TO MODERATE,  ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE WATCHING   FROM WEST OF ROCHESTER LATE   THIS AFTERNOON. THIS EVENING WE   COULD SEE 60 MILE PER HOUR  WINDS, SOME HAIL OUT OF SOME  STORMS. RIGHT NOW WE'RE NOT   SEEING ANY ACTIVITY LIKE THAT,  BUT WE'LL WATCH THE STORM   SYSTEM AGAIN. BACK TO THE WEST.   YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT  MOISTURE, EVEN A FEW  THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF  CLEVELAND STARTING TO LIFT UP   OUT AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT. AND  THE FUTURECAST WILL HOLD AS AS  WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.  ONE CHANCE AND INTO THE EVENING   THERE FIVE 6:00. AND NOTICE HOW   THEY FADE WHEN THEY GO OFF TO   THE EAST OF ROCHESTER. THAT'S   GOING TO BE THE SAME CHANCE   LATER TONIGHT. PROBABLY CLOSER  TO MIDNIGHT. SO A COUPLE OF   CHANCES TUCKED INTO THE   FORECAST RIGHT THERE. AND RAIN  AMOUNTS KIND OF SHOW THE SHOW   WHAT WE THINK. YOU KNOW, MOST   OF THIS SHOULD BE ON THE WEST   SIDE OF THE CITY. RAIN AMOUNTS  AROUND A HALF INCH AND EAST OF  ROCHESTER SHOULD BE LESSER  AMOUNTS AS WE MOVE THROUGH  TIME, BUT WE'LL SEE TEMPS IN  THE LOW 50S TO START OFF TODAY.   LIGHT SOUTHEAST BREEZE, LOTS OF   CLOUDS. GREAT MORNING FOR A   WALK. THE AFTERNOON TEMPS TOP   OUT NEAR 70 AND THE NEXT SEVEN  DAYS WE'RE GOING TO SEE THOSE   NUMBERS FALL BACK TO THE MID  50S ON SATURDAY. LOOKS LIKE   WE'LL CLIMB OUT TO THE 60S BY   MONDAY. AND YOU KNOW THE  FORECAST BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT  WEEK IS A LITTLE UNSETTLED.   SOME DATA HAS A NICE LITTLE   WARM UP CONTINUING. SOME OF THE   DATA HAS A SLOWER MOVING STORM  SYSTEM. THAT KIND OF MAKES THE  OUTLOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE MUDDY   FOR US. WE'LL HAVE TO FINE TUNE   IT AS WE GET A LITTLE BIT   CLOSER.   >>ALL RIGHT.  >>SOUNDS GOOD.  >>49 DAYS.  >>49 DAYS.  >>WE SHOULD GO HERE.  >>OH, THAT'D.   >>BE GREAT.   >>AND RECREATE THAT PICTURE AND   USE IT FOR NEXT YEAR.   >>YES. HOW ABOUT THAT?  >>YES, WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD.  >>SHORTS.   >>SHORTS AND.   >>T SHIRTS.   >>OH, GOODNESS. YEAH. THAT'S  HOW WE SHOULD END THE SHOW ON   THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER.  >>LIVE SHOW FROM THE BEACH.   >>FROM THE BEACH.   >>CAN YOU.  >>IMAGINE HOW MUCH THE CREW   WOULD LOVE THAT?  >>ABSOLUTELY.   >>SAND EVERYWHERE.  >>OH MY GOD.  >>AND ALL.  >>THE GEAR. ALL THE GEAR. HEY.  >>FRUIT TREE SEGMENT ON FROM  THE GROUND UP. COMING UP AT   930.  >>ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD. YEP.  >>THANK YOU SIR.  >>TIME RIGHT NOW. 910. WHEN WE  COME BACK, WE'RE GETTING A  CLOSER LOOK AT JCC CENTER   STAGES UPCOMING MUSICAL.  >>HEY, AND DON'T FORGET, YOU  CAN WATCH US ON THE GO WHEREVER   YOU'RE HEADING. WE'RE STREAMING   LIVE RIGHT NOW ON THE 13WHAM  YOUTUBE CHANNEL.  912. THANKS SO   MUCH FOR STICKING WITH US THIS  THURSDAY. WE ARE HEADING BEHIND   THE CURTAIN RIGHT NOW, GETTING  A SPECIAL LOOK AT A MUSICAL   COMING TO JCC CENTER STAGE THAT   WILL HAVE AUDIENCES SINGING,  LAUGHING, AND FALLING IN LOVE.  >>THEIR SHOW, AN AMERICAN IN  PARIS KICKS OFF THIS WEEKEND.   FOR MORE, WE'RE JOINED NOW BY   CAST MEMBERS JOSEPH DAVILA AND  SARAH MORGAN. GOOD MORNING TO   YOU BOTH. THANK YOU FOR BEING   HERE.   >>THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING.  >>THIS IS ONE OF THOSE  CLASSICS. BUT FOR SOMEBODY  WHO'S UNFAMILIAR, GIVE US THE   OVERVIEW OF THE SHOW.   >>SURE. SO IT'S BASED OFF OF  THE FILM THAT CAME OUT IN 1952  STARRING GENE KELLY. IT'S ABOUT   A SOLDIER WHO STAYS IN PARIS  AFTER WORLD WAR TWO TO PURSUE   HIS DREAM OF BECOMING AN  ARTIST, AND IN THE PROCESS,   FALLS IN LOVE. I PLAY GERRY   MULLIGAN, WHICH IS THE GENE   KELLY CHARACTER.  >>AND I PLAY LEE'S JASON.   >>YES. WHO I END UP FALLING IN  LOVE WITH. YEAH.  >>AND HOW MUCH FRENCH DID YOU   HAVE TO LEARN ALONG?  >>THAT'S FOR YOU TO ANSWER.   >>NOT SO I YEAH. SO WE HAVE AN  AMAZING DIALECT COACH WHO HAS   HELPED US SO MUCH THROUGHOUT  THIS WHOLE PROCESS. SO THIS HAS   BEEN A NEW ADVENTURE FOR ME   WITH THAT ACCENT. BUT IT'S BEEN   A GOOD TIME.  >>DID YOU SPEAK ANY FRENCH? DID   YOU HAVE LIKE, DID YOU TAKE IT  IN HIGH SCHOOL OR ANYTHING THAT   YOU COULD KIND OF TAP INTO?   >>FUNNY ENOUGH, I DID TAKE IT   IN HIGH SCHOOL. I DID NOT   REMEMBER ANY OF IT THOUGH.  >>BUT ALSO.   >>LIKE BEING A BALLET DANCER,   YOU KNOW, SO MUCH FRENCH JUST   FROM THE FROM THE TERMINOLOGY,  YOU KNOW.   >>VERY TRUE. YEAH, RIGHT. ALL   THAT GOOD STUFF. YEAH.  >>VERY GOOD.  >>ALL RIGHT, SO TELL US ABOUT   YOUR CHARACTERS. YOU GAVE US A  QUICK LITTLE OVERVIEW, BUT WHAT   DO YOU LIKE ABOUT PLAYING THEM?   >>SURE. SO. SO THE COOL THING   ABOUT THE STAGE ADAPTATION OF   THE FILM IS THEY REALLY LEAVE   LEAN VERY HEAVILY INTO THE  DANCE ASPECT. SO THE WAY THAT   I'VE BEEN EXPLAINING IT TO MY   FRIENDS AND FAMILY IS IT'S LIKE   A BALLET THAT HAS SINGING AND   ACTING. IT'S DANCE FROM START   TO FINISH. WE'VE TEAMED UP WITH   THE DRAPER CENTER, SOME OF THE  BEST DANCERS I'VE SEEN IN MY  ENTIRE CAREER. OUR  CHOREOGRAPHER, JAMIE LOVETT,  REALLY DID A FANTASTIC JOB OF   MAKING SOME OF THE BEST DANCE   I'VE EVER DANCED IN MY ENTIRE   LIFE. SO FOR ME, THE PART THAT  I'VE JUST ABSOLUTELY ADORED OF  THIS PROCESS IS THE DANCING. I  GREW UP ADORING GENE KELLY, SO  TO GET TO KIND OF STEP INTO HIS   SHOES FOR A LITTLE BIT IS HAS   BEEN A DREAM COME TRUE.   >>AND FOR YOU, SAME.  >>I CAME FROM THE BALLET WORLD,   AND THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY   MUSICALS THAT INCORPORATE   BALLET AND POINTE WORK INTO   MUSICAL THEATER. SO THIS IS   KIND OF THAT CULMINATION OF   EVERYTHING THAT I LOVE IN ONE   PIECE OF ART. SO IT'S IT'S  AWESOME. AND THERE'S SOMETHING  FOR EVERYBODY. IT'S VERY FAMILY   FRIENDLY.   >>YEAH.   >>SO WITH THE BACKGROUND IN   DANCE THAT I IMAGINE YOU BOTH   HAVE, WHAT IS IT LIKE PUTTING   THIS ON THE STAGE, PUTTING IT   ON ITS FEET?  >>OH MY GOODNESS. I MEAN, SO  AUDITION AUDITIONS WERE IN  SEPTEMBER AND I KID YOU NOT   LIKE, FROM THE DAY AFTER  AUDITIONS HAPPENED. I'VE BEEN   TRAINING NONSTOP BECAUSE IT   REALLY IS THIS, LIKE, TWO HOUR  MARATHON WHERE YOU JUST ARE   GOING AND GOING AND GOING AND   GOING. SO A LOT OF PHYSICAL   THERAPY, A LOT OF CARDIO, A LOT   OF STRETCHING, MAKING SURE THAT   YOUR BODY IS STAYING, YOU KNOW,   IN BEST SHAPE AS POSSIBLE TO  AVOID INJURY. IT'S IT'S A LOT   IT'S A LOT TO PREPARE FOR IT.   BUT IT'S IT'S AN ABSOLUTE WILD  RIDE.   >>ALL RIGHT. SO NOW WE'RE   GETTING READY FOR FINAL   REHEARSAL, RIGHT. HOW HAVE  THINGS BEEN SHAPING UP?   >>GOOD.   >>GREAT. YEAH, WE HAVE AN   AMAZING ARTISTIC TEAM. AND.   YEAH, IT'S BEEN A LOVELY  PROCESS.  >>YEAH, SOME FINISHING TOUCHES  HERE AND THERE. BUT WE OPENED   SATURDAY. WE RUN THROUGH THE  NEXT THREE WEEKS AT THE JCC.  AND I THINK WE'RE READY. I  THINK I FEEL LIKE I WANT AN   AUDIENCE IN THE HOUSE. I WANT.  >>WE'RE READY.  >>WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT.  >>OH, GOODNESS.   >>YES. WE WANT YOU ALL TO BE  THERE.  >>OKAY, SO I HAVE TO I HAVE TO  ASK THIS THIS QUESTION. HAS IT  EVER HAPPENED DURING THE  REHEARSAL PROCESS? HAVE YOU   EVER THOUGHT TO YOURSELF, I   DON'T KNOW WHAT I FORGOT? WHAT  THE DANCE. I'M FORGOT WHAT I'M  SUPPOSED TO DO HERE. AND DO YOU   HAVE TO, LIKE, AD LIB THAT AND  MAKE IT UP AND FILL THE SPACE?  I MEAN, YOU KNOW, JUST. YOU   KNOW WHAT I MEAN?   >>YEAH. KNOCK ON WOOD THREE   TIMES, LIKE. YES AND NO. I  MEAN, LAST NIGHT THERE WAS A,   THERE WAS A PROP ISSUE DURING   ONE OF OUR BALLET SCENES, AND   WE HAD TO IMPROVISE OF HOW TO   GET IT OFF THE STAGE BECAUSE IT   LOGISTICALLY WAS LIKE A HAZARD,   YOU KNOW, WITH, WITH PEOPLE   BEING ON POINTE SHOES, THAT   BEING ON STAGE COULD HAVE BEEN  A VERY, VERY TRICKY THING. SO   YOU KIND OF JUST HAVE TO WORK   ON THE FLY. I MEAN, THAT'S LIVE   THEATER. IT'S KIND OF THE MAGIC   OF IT, WHERE EVERY SINGLE   PERFORMANCE IS COMPLETELY   DIFFERENT. AND IT KEEPS YOUR  BRAIN SHARP AND IT AND IT IT'S,   IT'S JUST WHAT MAKES IT SO FUN.   >>IT KEEPS IT INTERESTING.  LIKE. YEAH, IT IS SOMEWHAT  ENTERTAINING BEING ON STAGE.  AND YOU CAN LIKE, ALMOST WATCH  SOMEBODY LIKE, ENTER THE WHITE  ROOM AND YOU'RE LIKE, HOW ARE   WE GOING TO HANDLE THIS? BUT  EVERYONE ALWAYS DOES.   EVERYONE'S PROFESSIONAL. SO   YEAH, IT'S A FUN TIME.  >>IT KEEPS YOU ON YOUR TOES.  >>CORRECT?  >>NO PUN INTENDED.  >>QUITE LITERALLY.  >>YES. YEAH, YEAH.  >>YOU GUYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH   FOR COMING IN TODAY. WE REALLY  APPRECIATE IT. ONE MORE TIME.   FOR SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO GET   TICKETS, THEY BETTER GET THEM.  CAN THEY GET THEM ONLINE? CAN   THEY GET THEM AT THE DOOR?  WHAT'S THE DEAL?  >>BOTH. SO. SO CHECK OUT ALL OF   OUR SOCIALS. JCC AND ROCHESTER.   GOOGLE US. INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK.   YOU CAN GIVE US A CALL AS WELL.   WE WERE ON THE NEXT THREE   WEEKS.  >>PERFECT. AND IF YOU MISSED  ANY OF THAT, WE'LL MAKE SURE TO   POST ALL OF THIS INFORMATION  AND MUCH MORE ON OUR WEBSITE.   FOX ROCHESTER.ORG DOT COM.  >>MUCH MORE TO COME ON AKA  ROCHESTER. WHEN WE COME BACK,   STEPH WILL BE HERE BREAKING   DOWN SOME TOP POLITICAL   HEADLINES.  >>YOUR POLITICAL PULSE IS ON  THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BREAK. >>IT'S TIME FOR POLITICAL   PULSE. CHECK HERE ON ROCHESTER.   WE BEGIN WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT  THE U.S. ECONOMY. NOW, A NEW  REPORT SHOWS THAT THE ECONOMY   HAD ITS WORST QUARTER SINCE   2022. THE GROSS DOMESTIC  PRODUCT, WHICH MEASURES ALL   GOODS AND SERVICES PRODUCED IN  THE ECONOMY, WAS NEGATIVE IN  2024. IT HAD ENDED AT 2.4%  BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH. THAT   FIGURE SHRANK 0.3%. AND WHILE   SOME ECONOMISTS ARE POINTING TO   TRUMP'S TRADE POLICY, THE   PRESIDENT SAYS THE DECLINE IS   DUE TO THE PREVIOUS   ADMINISTRATION.   >>BUT THIS IS BIDEN'S ECONOMY   BECAUSE WE TOOK OVER ON JANUARY   20TH, AND I THINK YOU HAVE TO   GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO   GET MOVING. BUT THIS IS THE   BIDEN ECONOMY.  >>WELL, IN HER FIRST MAJOR  SPEECH SINCE LEAVING OFFICE,  FORMER VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA  HARRIS OFFERED A STINGING   REBUKE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.  HARRIS OFFERED THOSE REMARKS AT   A GALA FROM AN ORGANIZATION   THAT HELPS WOMEN RUN FOR  OFFICE. NOW. SHE CRITICIZED HIS   ECONOMIC POLICY, SAYING HE'S  SETTING OFF THE, QUOTE,   GREATEST MAN MADE ECONOMIC  CRISIS IN MODERN HISTORY.   HARRIS ALSO SAID HIS TARIFF   PLAN WOULD LEAD TO A RECESSION.   AT LEAST TWO CONSECUTIVE  NEGATIVE GDPS ARE NEEDED TO   TRIGGER ONE NOW. THE FORMER VP  WARNED OF A CONSTITUTIONAL  CRISIS AS WELL, AS TRUMP HAS  CALLED OUT JUDGES DIRECTLY FOR  RULING AGAINST HIS POLICY.  >>INSTEAD OF AN ADMINISTRATION  WORKING TO ADVANCE AMERICA'S  HIGHEST IDEALS. WE ARE  WITNESSING THE WHOLE SALE   ABANDONMENT OF THOSE IDEALS.  >>NOW TO A RESOLUTION THAT  WOULD BLOCK TRUMP'S GLOBAL  TARIFFS FAILING IN THE SENATE.  NOW, IT HAD SOME BIPARTISAN   BACKING WITH 49 IN FAVOR, BUT   49 WERE AGAINST IT. AND VICE  PRESIDENT JD VANCE HAD TO CAST  THAT TIE BREAKING VOTE. THE   RESOLUTION WOULD REVOKE THE   EMERGENCY ORDER TRUMP USED TO   ENACT THOSE TARIFFS, THOUGH HE  WAS NOT PRESENT. REPUBLICAN   SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL ONCE  SAID A TRADE WAR WOULD  ULTIMATELY BE PAID FOR BY   TAXPAYERS. BUT NOT ALL  REPUBLICANS FEEL THAT WAY.  >>FAILURE ON THE ECONOMY,   FAILURE ON LOWERING COSTS,  FAILURE ON TARIFFS.   >>WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH ALL   THIS, YOU GOT TO TAKE THE LONG  VIEW. AND I THINK HIS POLICY  DECISIONS ARE THE RIGHT ONES.   AND I THINK OVER TIME THAT WILL   BEAR FRUIT.   >>AND NOW TO A DEAL BETWEEN THE   US AND UKRAINE OVER MINERALS.   THE DEAL WILL GIVE THE US   ACCESS TO RARE EARTH ELEMENTS   IN UKRAINE. PRESIDENT TRUMP   SAYS IT'S PART OF A CONDITION   OF FURTHER SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE  IN ITS WAR AGAINST RUSSIA.  TALKS STALLED EARLIER THIS  YEAR. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER  FOLLOWING THAT TENSE MEETING IN   THE OVAL OFFICE.  >>WE MADE A DEAL WHERE OUR  MONEY IS SECURE, WHERE WE CAN   START DIGGING AND DOING WHAT WE   HAVE TO DO. IT'S ALSO GOOD FOR  THEM BECAUSE YOU'LL HAVE AN   AMERICAN PRESENCE AT THE SITE   NOW.  >>ALSO THIS MORNING, A COLUMBIA   UNIVERSITY STUDENT IS NOW   RELEASED. MOHSEN BADAWI WAS   ARRESTED BY IMMIGRATION   ENFORCEMENT AGENTS MORE THAN  TWO WEEKS AGO. HE WAS UNDER THE   IMPRESSION THAT HE'D UNDERGO A  FINAL INTERVIEW BEFORE BECOMING   A US CITIZEN. MADELEY HAS BEEN  AN OUTSPOKEN ADVOCATE OF  PALESTINE. HE'S NOW OUT ON SOME   CONDITIONS, INCLUDING STAYING   IN VERMONT.   >>AND THOSE STUDENTS DON'T HAVE   THE PRIVILEGE, WHICH SHOULD BE  ACTUALLY THE DUE PROCESS, WHICH   I WENT THROUGH. THEY DON'T HAVE   THAT.   >>AND CLOSER TO HOME, NORTH   COUNTRY CONGRESSWOMAN ELISE   STEFANIK IS DENYING THAT SHE  DISCUSSED RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR  WITH HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE   JOHNSON, NOW PART OF AN EX POST   IN IT SAYING, QUOTE, THIS IS  NOT TRUE. I HAVE HAD NO   CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SPEAKER  REGARDING THE GOVERNOR'S RACE.  STEFANIK, THOUGH, HAS YET TO  SAY IF SHE WILL RUN FOR THE   STATE'S HIGHEST OFFICE. AND FOR   MORE ON THESE STORIES IN ANY  UPDATES, BE SURE TO STICK WITH  US RIGHT HERE ON AIR AND  ONLINE. OUR ROCHESTER RETURNS   RIGHT AFTER THIS.    >>927 THANKS SO MUCH FOR  STICKING WITH US HERE ON AKA  ROCHESTER. THE GANG IS ALL HERE   FOR THIS WEEK'S FROM THE GROUND   UP.   >>ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS NICE.   >>SOUND EFFECT MACHINE.   >>YEAH, I LIKE IT.  >>WE WERE HAVING SOME FUN.  >>MARK, LAST WEEK WE GOT THE  CHANCE TO SEE YOU PLANT SOME  SEEDS THIS WEEK.  >>WHAT ARE WE DOING? YEAH, WE.  >>CHECKED IN ON THE SEEDS. AND  ALSO A BIG TOPIC. YOU KNOW, THE   COST OF GROCERIES IS SO HIGH.   YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY'S THINKING  ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SHOULD I DO A  GARDEN? SHOULD I? SHOULD WE GET   SOME FRUIT TREES? MAYBE WE  START A LITTLE ORCHARD. WE GET  A LITTLE SPACE IN THE BACKYARD.   LET'S TALK ABOUT FRUIT TREES  AND BERRIES. HOW ABOUT THAT?  >>LET'S DO IT. ALL RIGHT. >>WE'RE HERE WITH NICK MOSTARDA   AT THE GARDEN FACTORY. HE IS  THE NURSERY MANAGER FOR ALL OF  THESE AWESOME FRUIT TREES. HEY,   NICK, YOU HAVE 80 DIFFERENT   VARIETIES OF FRUIT TREES. WHAT  ARE SOME OF THE FAVORITES FOR   SOME OF THE FOLKS OUT THERE?  >>WELL, IF I WERE LOOKING AT  PEACHES, I WOULD LOOK AT LIKE   BELLA GEORGIA PEACH, WHICH IS A   NICE SELF POLLINATOR. SUPER   EASY TO GROW IF YOU'RE LOOKING  AT LIKE APPLE TREES WOULD BE  SOMETHING LIKE A HONEYCRISP,  BUT WITH APPLES YOU NEED TO   HAVE TWO TO POLLINATE. SO   SOMETHING LIKE AN EMPIRE WITH   HONEYCRISP WOULD BE A GOOD  COMBINATION. CHERRIES GREAT FOR   SELF-POLLINATING AS WELL. EASY  TO GROW.  >>AND YOU MENTIONED POLLINATORS   VERSUS NON POLLINATORS. IS IS   ONE VARIETY EASIER TO GROW THAN   ANOTHER?  >>IN MY EXPERIENCE, I BELIEVE   CHERRIES AND APPLES ARE   PROBABLY THE EASIEST THING TO   GROW IN OUR CLIMATE. IF YOU   WERE TO GROW PEACHES, WHICH ARE   SELF-POLLINATING, YOU JUST NEED   TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE IN AN AREA  THAT'S WELL-DRAINED, FULL SUN.  NOT AN AREA WHERE WATER CAN   SEND A POOL. APPLES AND   CHERRIES, WHICH ARE A LITTLE  MORE HARDY FOR THE AREA, TEND   TO DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER IN  OUR WINTERS. SO A LITTLE BIT  EASIER TO GROW IN MY OPINION.   >>OKAY. AND IT'S EARLY IN THE   SEASON, YET WE'RE STILL IN  APRIL. ARE ANY OF THESE   VARIETIES MORE FROST TOLERANT   THAN OTHER VARIETIES? ARE   THERE? IS THERE A HARDINESS   DIFFERENCE IN ANY OF THESE  FRUIT TREES?  >>WE REALLY TRY TO CARRY  EVERYTHING THAT CAN TOLERATE A  ROCHESTER WINTER. WE KIND OF  STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING THAT'S  NOT ZONE FIVE OR COLDER. SO YOU   REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE  WITH WINTERS. I DON'T SEE THAT  BEING REALLY TOO MUCH OF AN   ISSUE WITH ANY OF THE VARIETIES   THAT WE HAVE.   >>OKAY. AND FOR HOMEOWNER, YOU  KNOW, JUST STARTING OUT, MAYBE  THEY JUST BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE.   THEY WANT TO GET INTO THIS TO   KNOCK DOWN THE GROCERY BILL   JUST A LITTLE BIT. I'M LOOKING  AT A POT RIGHT THERE. AND HOW   BIG AM I GOING TO DIG THIS HOLE   FOR THIS TREE? IF I WANT TO PUT   IN, SAY, 4 OR 5 OF THESE FRUIT  TREES AND START MY OWN ORCHARD,   HOW BIG DOES THAT THAT HOLE   HAVE TO BE TO PUT THE TREE IN?  >>SO TYPICALLY YOU WOULD GO UP  RIGHT LEVEL WITH THE SOIL   THAT'S IN THE POT TWICE AS  WIDE. OKAY. GET IT DUG OUT.   REALLY NICE. AMEND IT WITH SOME   COMPOST. THEY LIKE TO BE  SLIGHTLY ACIDIC AND THAT WILL   HELP WITH THAT. IT'LL ALSO HELP   WITH THE DRAINING BECAUSE FRUIT   TREES, IT'S THE BIGGEST THING   IS MAKING SURE THAT SOIL  DRAINS. OKAY. SO A COUPLE   THINGS FOR TIPS FOR SETTING YOU   UP FOR SUCCESS. SPRAYING IS A   REALLY IMPORTANT DETAIL THAT A  LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALLY  THINK ABOUT. IT'S GOING TO TAKE   PROBABLY 3 OR 4 TIMES A SEASON,   BUT A LOT OF TIMES I ALWAYS SAY   YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN. IF   YOU PUT THE WORK IN AND YOU CAN   GET THE SPRAYS DOWN, YOU KNOW,  JUST DON'T SPRAY THEM WHEN  THEY'RE FULLY FLOWERED. IT'LL   REALLY HELP WITH PESTS AND  DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. AND   YOU'LL REALLY GET THAT GROCERY  STYLE FRUIT OFF OF THEM.  ANOTHER BIG THING IS MAKE SURE  YOU'RE PLANTING THEM IN FULL  SUN, FULL SUN ALL THE TIME.   >>SO NOW IF SOMEBODY HAS THE  FRUIT TREE SPRAY ON THEIR   FRUIT, DO YOU RECOMMEND WASHING   THAT OFF BEFORE THEY CONSUME  THE FRUIT OR HOW DOES THAT  WORK?   >>I WOULD I WOULD DEFINITELY  WASH IT. BUT THE OTHER PIECE OF   IT TOO, IS LIKE THE BONUS   PRODUCT THAT WE HAVE HERE WITH  THE BROWN TOP IS ALL ORGANIC,   SO IT IS SAFE. NOT REALLY TOO   MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT, BUT  WASHING IT OFF IS ALWAYS  PROBABLY A GOOD BET.  >>OKAY, AND A COUPLE OF   DIFFERENT WAYS TO APPLY, RIGHT?   THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE  PRE-MADE, RIGHT?  >>YEP. THIS HOOKS UP RIGHT TO   THE HOSE.   >>AND WHAT ABOUT THIS GUY?  >>YOU HAVE TO DILUTE THAT. AND  ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE  DILUTION IS ON THE BACK SIDE.   OKAY.   >>RIGHT BACK HERE.  >>YEP. AND THEY'LL HAVE FULL  INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DILUTE   IT. TO GO INTO YOUR SPRAYER.  >>WHAT IF THOSE FRUIT TREES ARE   TOO MUCH FOR THAT HOMEOWNER? IS   THERE ANY OTHER TYPES OF FRUITS   THAT WE CAN GET INTO?   >>YEAH. BLUEBERRIES,  RASPBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES ALL   GREAT OPTIONS. EASY TO GROW.  THEY TYPICALLY DO REALLY WELL   FOR LOTS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.   THE BUSHEL AND BERRY SERIES OF  BLUEBERRY IS A REALLY EASY ONE  TO GROW. THEY STAY A LOT  SHORTER, SMALLER, MORE COMPACT  GARDENS OR CONTAINERS. YOU CAN  DO THEM IN THAT. AND THEY DO  THE BUSHEL AND BERRY SERIES IN  BLUEBERRIES, RASPBERRIES AND  BLACKBERRIES. OH, THAT'S A LOT  OF GOOD OPTIONS. THERE'S ALSO   THE TRADITIONAL HIGHBUSH  BLUEBERRY. IF YOU WANT  SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.  BUT YEAH. AND REALLY EASY.  >>WHAT'S THE MAINTENANCE LIKE   ON THE BERRIES, THE   BLUEBERRIES, THE RASPBERRIES.   WHAT'S WHAT'S A HOMEOWNER   GETTING INTO ON THIS.   >>SO TYPICALLY IF YOU JUST GIVE   THEM A TRIM ONE TIME AFTER  THEY'RE DONE FRUITING, YOU'RE   IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE. THEY CAN  TAKE A DECENT LITTLE  FERTILIZER, A TRIPLE TEN  FERTILIZER, SOMETHING PRETTY  GENERIC. OTHER THAN THAT, IF  YOU PLANT THEM AGAIN IN FULL  SUN, ANYTHING FRUIT BEARING,  FULL SUN, KEEP THEM WATERED.  YOU'RE GOING TO REALLY BE   PROSPEROUS. I THINK YOU'LL DO   REALLY WELL.  >>WE'RE TALKING ABOUT   BLUEBERRIES. BLUEBERRIES. OKAY.   >>MARK, I GOT TO TELL YOU THAT  I LOVED THAT. THAT WAS GREAT.   SO INFORMATIVE. BUT HAVE YOU  EVER SEEN THOSE TIME LAPSE  VIDEOS ONLINE? THIS IS ALL I  CAN THINK OF WHEN YOU TALK  ABOUT, FRUIT BEARING OR FOOD  BEARING PLANTS, THINGS LIKE   THAT. YOU PUT THE TINY LITTLE   SEED IN THE GROUND. YEAH. YOU   WATCH THE TIME IT GROWS AND   THEN IT PRODUCES. I FIND IT SO  INCREDIBLY AMAZING THAT   SOMETHING SO SMALL IN THE START   CAN BE SO FRUITFUL IN THE END.  >>YEAH.   >>AND THEY GET BIG. THEY GET  BIG QUICK. ONE ONE OF THE   IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE FRUIT  TREES IS THE PRUNING, TOO. WE   DIDN'T GET INTO THAT ASPECT OF  IT. BUT IN THE EARLY SPRING,  YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT  THOSE MAIN ARTERIAL BRANCHES ON   THE TREES ARE STRONG ENOUGH. I  MEAN, YOU THINK ABOUT IT, YOU   GO TO THE GROCERY STORE, YOU  PICK UP LIKE 10 OR 12 APPLES.   IMAGINE HANGING THAT OFF A WEAK   BRANCH, RIGHT? OR, YOU KNOW,  THEN THE CRITTERS ARE JUMPING   ON IT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,   OR IT'S RAINING HEAVILY. IT'S   WINDY. PRUNING IS VERY  IMPORTANT. AND YOU HEARD NICK   THERE SAY ABOUT THE FRUIT TREE  SPRAY. VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW   THE SCHEDULE FOR THE FRUIT TREE   SPRAY AND, AND TO DO IT AT THE  RIGHT TIME. OTHERWISE.  OTHERWISE YOU'RE GOING TO START   FIGHTING WITH THE WORMS AND   OTHER INSECTS THAT YOU JUST   DON'T WANT ON YOUR FRUIT.   >>WHAT ABOUT OTHER CRITTERS   LIKE, NOT JUST BUGS, BUT  ACTUAL. YEAH. DEAR, DEAR,   ABBY'S RACCOON INFESTATION.   WHAT DO YOU DO?   >>AND BIRDS AND BIRDS.  >>ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE INTO THE   CHERRY TREES. OH, THE BIRDS,  THEY COME IN. SO THAT'S WHERE   PRUNING COMES IN TOO. IS YOU  WANT TO KEEP THE TREES TO A   HEIGHT WHERE YOU CAN MANAGE   THEM, GET THE FRUIT. THAT'S ALL   THE WAY AT THE TOP OF THE TREE.   YOU KNOW, YOU GO INTO A LEGACY  FARM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,  AND SOMETIMES THEY GET, YOU   KNOW, UNWIELDY, THEY GET LARGER   AND THEY GROW UP. BUT IF YOU  CAN KEEP THEM, YOU KNOW, THAT   EIGHT TEN FOOT WHERE YOU CAN  STILL GET AT IT WITH A LADDER,  I STILL GET THE FRUIT OFF OF  THERE. THAT HELPS. SO YOU'RE  NOT FIGHTING THE BIRDS  NECESSARILY AND THE SQUIRRELS   AS MUCH. BUT AT THE END OF THE  DAY, THERE'S REALLY NOT MUCH  YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.  >>AND I SAW THAT THERE WAS  LIKE, YOU COULD START WITH  SEEDS, BUT THERE WAS ALSO SOME  PLANTS THEMSELVES, LIKE FOR A   BEGINNER.   >>YES.  >>BETTER TO START WITH SEEDS OR   MAYBE A LITTLE BIT.   >>OF I WOULD GO.  >>WITH THE WITH THE PLANTS AND  THE TREES THAT THEY HAVE THERE.   SO IF YOU'RE STARTING UP A LOT  OF THESE NEED POLLINATORS OKAY.   SO LIKE THE APPLE TREES, THE  PEAR TREES, YOU HAVE TO HAVE  TWO TO, TO ACTUALLY GET THEM TO   BEAR FRUIT. SOME OF THEM ARE  SELF-POLLINATING, SOME OF THE   TREES ARE SELF-POLLINATING. BUT   THE NURSERY THAT YOU'RE AT IS   GOING TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT   THAT. AND DOCTOR GOOGLE CAN   HELP YOU TOO, WHEN YOU'RE, YOU  KNOW, LOOKING. FOR LOOKING FOR  POLLINATORS. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT  ROCKET SCIENCE. WE'RE NOT   BOLTING A WING ON THE SPACE   SHUTTLE HERE. BUT YOU DO NEED   YOU DO NEED A COUPLE OF   POLLINATORS TO HELP. HELP GET   GOING.  >>YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY? I SAY WE   GET A COUPLE OF THOSE TREES WE  HAUL OVER TO STEPH'S APARTMENT,   AND LET'S NOT ASK THE LANDLORD.   LET'S JUST START DIGGING HOLES.   >>I'M SURE THEY'D APPRECIATE  IT.

WHERE,   WHERE, WHERE WE LOSE IT USUALLY   IS HOW DRY IT GETS IN THE   WINTERTIME. IN A GREENHOUSE.  YOU CAN CONTROL THOSE   CONDITIONS INSIDE YOUR LIVING   ROOM. IT'S TOUGH TO GET A   HUMIDIFIER GOING THAT CAN KEEP  THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY. KNOW   BETWEEN 40 AND 60% FOR A LOT OF   THESE TREES, YOU KNOW?  >>YEAH.   >>I'VE TRIED, I'VE TRIED, LIMES   A COUPLE OF TIMES AND IT'S ONE  OF THE ONLY THINGS I CAN'T I  COULDN'T DO IT.   >>MAYBE THAT'S THE.   >>ONE THING I WILL BE ABLE TO   GROW.   >>TRY IT, YOU KNOW?

AND IT WAS A JOY TO DO, BUT IT  TOOK A LOT OF TIME.   >>YES, IT DID.  >>I BELIEVE. ALL RIGHT. SO TELL   US ABOUT THE GUILD 50 YEARS,  WHICH IS REMARKABLE. TELL US  ABOUT THE COMMUNITY THAT'S BEEN   BUILT.  >>WELL, GAIL. GAIL. WELL, 50  YEARS AGO WAS THE BICENTENNIAL  OF OUR COUNTRY, AND THERE WAS A   RESURGENCE OF A LOT OF THE  CRAFTS, HANDICRAFTS THAT HAD  DIED OUT. AND THE TOWN OF   PERINTON HAD OFFERED QUILTING   CLASSES. AND SO THERE WERE  ABOUT 12 OF US THAT STARTED   THIS AND ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT.   BACK THEN WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY  RULERS, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY  ROTARY CUTTERS, WE DIDN'T HAVE  ANY MATS. EVERYTHING WAS DONE   BY HAND. WE CUT OUT THE   PATTERNS BY HAND. WE SEWED  EVERYTHING BY HAND. WE GOT  FINISHED WITH A CLASS AND WE  WERE SO IN LOVE WITH IT THAT WE   DECIDED WE NEEDED SOMETHING TO  KEEP US GOING. SO THIS IS HOW   THE GUILD STARTED. SO WE MEET   TWICE A MONTH. WHEN WE'VE BEEN  DOING THAT FOR 50 YEARS.  >>EXACTLY.  >>WOW, WOW.   >>TWICE A MONTH WITH A FULL   PROGRAM AND ONE OF OUR  CHALLENGES FOR THE QUILT SHOW   IS TAKING A PICTURE BOOK, AND   THIS IS BY LOCAL AUTHOR   KATHLEEN BLASEY. THE STORY OF   JOSIE TAYLOR, WHO USED TO PLAY  THE SAXOPHONE AT THE ROCHESTER  PUBLIC MARKET. AND HE KEPT  PLAYING WHEN IT RAINED. SO I  TOOK HER HAIR, HER IMAGE, AND   CREATED A QUILT, WHICH A LOT OF   QUILTERS ARE DOING, WHICH   YOU'LL SEE IN THE SHOW. AND,  PATTY, TELL US MORE ABOUT THE   SHOW.   >>WELL, THE SHOW IS OUT AT THE  PERINTON RECREATION CENTER AND  WE'LL HAVE 250 OR MORE QUILTS.  AND WE'RE SETTING IT UP AND   WE'LL HAVE VENDORS THERE AND  CHANCES TO WIN OUR QUILT, WHICH   THE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THE   PERINTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY.  AND IT'LL BE JUST A LOT OF FUN,   A LOT OF CAMARADERIE AND A NICE   DAY OUT.  >>I'M WONDERING, DO ANY OF YOU  HAVE ANY OF THE QUILTS THAT ARE   FROM THAT FIRST YEAR STILL?   >>YEAH.   >>WE DO AND WILL ARE ANY OF   THEM GOING TO BE ON DISPLAY?  YES.  >>THEY'RE GOING TO BE HUNG,   AROUND THE WALKING TRACK UP   ABOVE.  >>SO WE'LL HAVE AND IT'LL BE.   >>QUILTS, QUILTS FROM ALL FIVE  DECADES BY THE HANGING.   >>OH WOW.   >>THAT'S REMARKABLE.  >>YEAH.   >>OH MY GOSH. AND FOR SOMEBODY  WHO'S SITTING AT HOME THINKING  I'VE NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED  QUILTING BEFORE AS A HOBBY,   I'VE NEVER GIVEN IT ANY   THOUGHT. WHAT'S A GOOD WAY FOR  THEM TO GET STARTED?  >>OH, COME JOIN US IN THE   GUILD. WE'VE GOT MEMBERS WHO DO   COMPLICATED THINGS LIKE THIS,   AND WE'VE GOT MEMBERS WHO ARE   JUST BEGINNING, AND WE FIND   THAT WE'RE A VERY SUPPORTIVE,   INCLUSIVE GROUP.  >>OH, I.  >>BELIEVE IT.

IT'S A RAINBOW.   >>IT'S A QUEEN SIZE QUILT. AND  IT'S.   >>WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TARP.  >>WE HAD A COMMITTEE THAT   DESIGNED IT, AND THEN IT WAS  PACKAGED UP IN DIFFERENT  MEMBERS OF THE GUILD DID THE  BLOCKS AND THEN IT WAS MACHINE  QUILTED.  >>WOW.  >>AND OKAY, SO HOW MANY, HOW  MANY, HOURS DID IT TAKE   COLLECTIVELY FOR SOMETHING LIKE   THIS? ANY GUESSTIMATE? WHAT'S   TIME? WHAT'S TIME EXACTLY?  >>WHAT'S TIME?  >>IT'S A LABOR OF LOVE.   >>SO I'M SURE.  >>I'VE BEEN ASKED THAT A LOT.   HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO  MAKE A QUILT? AND I DON'T KNOW.   NO. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ALL  THREE OF US LOVE IS THAT ALL OF   THE PEOPLE THAT WE LOVE SLEEP   UNDER QUILTS THAT WE'VE MADE.   THAT'S A WONDERFUL FEELING.   >>OH, THAT IS.  >>REALLY I LOVE THAT.   >>AND THEN WE GIVE THEM, I GIVE   THEM AWAY. I THINK WE ALL GIVE  THEM AWAY. AND PEOPLE WHO GET   THEM REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE  THEM.   >>HOW MANY QUILTS DO YOU THINK  YOU HAVE MADE. INDIVIDUALLY   OVER OVER THE COURSE OF YOUR  TIME QUILTING?  >>WELL, IN 50 YEARS I'VE MADE   HUNDREDS. YEAH, WE DO A LOT OF  CHARITY WORK, SO A LOT OF OUR   QUILTS GET GIVEN TO STRONG, GET   GIVEN TO NURSING HOMES AS   COMFORT QUILTS, NICU QUILTS.
