Four hurt in Clymer School Bus crash Tuesday...

Four students were hurt... but, not seriously... when their Clymer Central School bus went into a roadside ditch -- became airborne -- and crashed into an embankment.  Sheriff's officers were called to the scene about 8:20 a.m. Tuesday near Panama.  Deputies say the bus was westbound on Route 474 near Panama... taking eight students to the Ashville BOCES... when the bus went off the northside of the road for no apparent reason.  Officers say the vehicle traveled about 500-feet through ditch before hitting a driveway culvert... which caused the bus to go airborne.  The bus landed nose down in a earth embankment... tearing the front hood off.  Officers say four of the Clymer students were taken to WCA Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.  The driver... Betty Bayle... was not hurt.  Bayle was ticketed in Harmony Town Court on one count of failure to maintain lane... and, more charges are pending.


Lakewood woman arrested for allegedly growing and distributing marijuana in south county...

A Lakewood woman has been arrested for allegedly growing and distributing marijuana in the south county area for the past several months.  Agents with the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force say they arrested 47 year-old Tiffany Boardman of Southland Avenue Tuesday night on a warrant charging her with one count each of unlawful growing of marijuana... and, second-degree criminal possession of marijuana.  Task Force members were assisted by Lakewood-Busti Police in the bust... which is part of a 10-month long investigation into pot production in the area.  It was also in conjunction with other warrants that were issued last Feb. 21.  Boardman was arraigned and sent to the County Jail on $10,000 cash bail.  Drug agents say their investigation is ongoing and more arrests are possible.


Astorino announces he's running for NYS Governor...

The executive from a county in New York City's northern suburbs has officially announced he is running to unseat New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo.  Republican Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino says today in a video that the idea that things are great in New York is a ``fairy tale.''  State Republicans hold their nominating convention in May.  Celebrity businessman Donald Trump has said he would consider a run if the party unifies behind him.  Cuomo, a possible 2016 presidential candidate, is far ahead in polls, name recognition and fundraising.  But... Astorino argues New York is moving in the wrong direction and Cuomo is beatable.  The 46-year-old Astorino was easily elected in November to his second term as the head of government in suburban Westchester.  Twice as many Democrats live in New York than Republicans.
