Three people have been indicted by a Monroe County Grand Jury in connection with home invasions that targeted elderly victims in Greece.

John Meyers, Jacob Buchanan and Sarah Cushman were indicted on burglary and robbery charges. Meyers was also indicted on assault charges.

Police say on December 8, all three suspects forced themselves into the Greece home of a 99-year-old man, held him down and stole jewelry and cash.

Then on Christmas Eve, after Buchanan and Cushman were arrested in connection with a string of tanning salon robberies, police say Meyers assaulted an 84-year-old woman in her home.

All three are now in the Monroe County Jail.

Meet Cindy! Cindy is a one and a half year old Lab/terrier mix who weighs about 35 pounds. She was transferred to Lollypop Farm from a shelter in Ohio after being found there as a stray. Cindy had leg surgery at Lollypop Farm last summer and then went to rehab during her recovery, but now she is all ready to be adopted! She is a sweet dog who wants to be friends to everyone! Cindy would do best in a home without kids under 14, and she would prefer to be the only dog in the household. This beautiful dog would make a wonderful friend. To find out more about Cindy, call 223-1330 or visit her at Lollypop Farm at 99 Victor Rd., Fairport 14450. Sammy, our "Friday's Friend" from last week, is still available.

RG&E files plan to demolish Russell Station in Greece

Submitted by News 10NBC
Thursday, January 26th, 2012, 10:17am

On Wednesday, RG&E filed a plan for the demolition of Russell Station in Greece with the Public Service Commission.

Under the plan, most of the equipment and structures associated with the production of electricity will be removed.

RG&E officials say they have discussed the demolition and remediation plans with Town of Greece officials and a letter is being mailed to nearby residents.

Environmental remediation will include the removal of asbestos and lead-based paint from the structures. Contaminated soils will be removed and replaced with clean fill and those areas will be seeded or otherwise finished.

In addition to PSC approval, the project will require various permits and approvals from federal, state and local government agencies.

JCPenney offering permanent markdowns on merchandise

Submitted by News 10NBC
Thursday, January 26th, 2012, 7:41am

JCPenney says forget waiting for the sale -- it's going to be everyday.
 
Beginning February 1, JCPenney will permanently mark down all of its merchandise by at least 40-percent -- meaning shoppers will no longer have to wait for a sale to get the store's lowest price.
 
The plan is similar to Walmart's iconic everyday low pricing strategy but instead of undercutting all competitors, the aim for JCPenney is to take the guesswork out of shopping by offering more predictable pricing.

A Fab February for Flakes?

Submitted by Kevin Williams, Director of Meteorology
Wednesday, January 25th, 2012, 1:50pm

When I shared some of our long range thoughts about the winter back in early December, I presented my rationale for suggesting that our best shot at serious and sustained winter weather this season would come in February.

If you are new to this blog I would ask you to read the previous blogs so as to help add perspective as to where we stand today and to acquaint yourself with some meteorological jargon.

Today we are going to take a look at the month of February.  

So, let’s see where we are:  During the first week of the month we will be in a +PNA pattern which means a warm and dry ridge will rule most of the west, while a cold and potentially wet trough will dominate much of the east.
