Governor Cuomo has  unveiled 50 proposed new outdoor access projects to connect hunters, anglers, bird watchers and other outdoor enthusiasts to 380,000 acres of untapped State-owned lands across New York. The new access points will allow for more than $6 million in projects for access to hunting and fishing, boat launches, and new hiking opportunities.

Details are being announced about the 2014 Rochester Teen Film Festival. It’s sponsored by Nazareth College, the WXXI Public Broadcasting Council and The Little Theatre.

The award was established in association with the Hoffman family with money raised during The Little’s Philip Seymour Hoffman Tribute Film Series held last weekend.

Henrietta Town Supervisor Jack Moore now says he is opposed to a casino in his town. That proposal came up recently after the Seneca Indians purchased 32 acres on Clay Road with the possibility of one day putting a casino there.

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren on Friday named a new police chief, and the name should be a familiar one. It's the man who Warren named as Interim Chief this year, Mike Ciminelli.  Ciminelli was appointed as interim chief after Chief Jim Sheppard retired last year.

Ciminelli has more than 35 years experience in law enforcement including 17 with the Rochester Police Department.  He served as Deputy Chief of Administration before being named Interim Chief.
