New York State Senator Mark Grisanti recently announced he nominated United States Army Captain Roger L. Woodworth as his nominee for the New York State Senate’s 2013 Veterans Hall of Fame Honoree Celebration.

CPT Woodworth was recently recognized at a ceremony and luncheon in Albany for his efforts in the military as well as his work as a veteran in Western New York.

“I am proud to nominate Roger for this honor because of the many contributions he has made and continues to make in our community,” said Senator Grisanti. “His efforts at the Veteran One-Stop Center and the Western New York Veterans Housing Coalition as well as his various interests outside of that work are to be commended, which is why I am glad to acknowledge the work of him and all veterans as part of our celebration of veterans.”

Mary Queen of Angels Regional Catholic School in Cheektowaga was recently named a recipient of a 2013 Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame Amateur Sports Development Fund (ASDF) grant. The grant will be used to purchase new soccer uniforms for the 2013-14 school year. 

BUFFALO, NY - One of the biggest frustrations drivers deal with is getting stopped by one red light after another; some streets in the City of Buffalo have been notorious for the stop and go driving.

Around 3 years ago, 2 On Your Side investigated busy Delaware Avenue, and it took more than 17 minutes to drive the 4.8-mile portion between Chippewa Street and Kenmore Avenue. We were braking or stopped 45% of the time.

Back then, the City pledged to do more to better time out not only Delaware but also many of the other major thoroughfares.

Last week, 2 On Your Side performed the same test and found Delaware to be only about 4% faster than it was before. We again drove the speed limit, during non rush hours, under the exact same conditions. It took us an average of 16 minutes and 24 seconds to drive the same length this time.
