Notre Dame blanks Pembroke in season opener

By Howard B. Owens

De-fense. De-fense. De-fense.

A crushing Notre Dame defense led the Fighting Irish to a 21-0 victory over Pembroke.

Pembroke managed only 15 yards of total offense in the first half, while Mike Pratt lead Notre Dame on offense all game, ripping some big runs while Nick Bochicchio connected with Gianni Zambito on two touchdown passes.

The Irish scored on their first possession after Pratt marched the team down the field before Bochicchio hit Zambito on a 35-yard bomb.

Truck fire at Flying J brings out hazmat team

By Howard B. Owens

By the time fire crews from Indian Falls and Pembroke arrived on scene of a truck fire this afternoon, the tractor, but not the trailer, was fully engulfed in flames.

Firefighters quickly noticed a placard on the trailer warning that it hauled an oxidizer chemical and notified dispatchers. Genesee County's hazmat team was dispatched to the fire location -- the Flying J off the Thruway at Route 77 in Pembroke.

While it took firefighters from Indian Falls, Pembroke, East Pembroke and Corfu nearly an hour to battle the blaze, they did manage to contain most of the fire to the tractor, according Tom Yaeger, emergency management coordinator for Genesee County.

The fire was initially reported at 1:22 p.m..

The fire did extend into the trailer, the but it was kept well away from the hazardous chemical, Yaeger said.

The chemical was potassium nitrate. The chemical has a wide variety of uses, including fertilizer and fireworks. At one time it was used as a food preservative for meats.  In this case, it was stored in a small electrical component, Yaeger said, and did not spill or leak.

Still, it was a good thing the hazmat team was already in place because more than 240 gallons of diesel fuel leaked into the Flying J's drainage system.

The system, Yaeger said, is designed to contain such spills and none of the fuel went beyond the Flying J property. Most of it wound up in a containment pond, where hazmat crews were able to soak up most of the diesel.

At 4:30 p.m., Yaeger and his team, as well as Pembroke's fire crews, were still on scene awaiting the arrival of a private company to finish the clean up.

There were no injuries in the fire or as a result of the spill or the emergency efforts.

Route 77 was shut down for a couple of hours as a result of the incident.

The tractor is described by a Sheriff's Office report as a 2006 Volvo Tractor, owned by Homes Freight, Inc., out of Ontario, Calif. The tractor was a total loss.

NOTE: If any of the firefighters who responded happened to take pictures, we would be happy to share them with readers.

Fire involving chemicals at Flying J

By Howard B. Owens

The fire has been extinguished. The primary fire was contained the tractor with some extension into the trailer.

UPDATE: Around 3 p.m. Route 77, which was shut down in response to the chemical spill, was reopened.

Fire Training Mondays: East Pembroke Fire Department, ladders and the original truck

This is the second in our occasional series on Fire Training Mondays. On Mondays, local fire departments meet and train. It's our goal over the next few months to visit each fire department and show a bit of their training and maybe learn a little more about the department.

This Monday, I was able to make it out to East Pembroke, where I saw the volunteers do an equipment check, learned about their original fire truck, and observed their ladder training on an acquired house.

Dispute over vehicles subject of defense motion in Doll murder case

By Howard B. Owens

The ownership of two vehicles that may have been part of business transactions between Scott F. Doll and Joseph Benaquist remains in dispute.

The ownership claims were at the crux of a defense motion heard by Judge Robert Noonan in court this morning.  Doll, who is accused of killing Benaquist in February, is seeking the return of the vehicles because a financing company wants to be paid for the cars.

The vehicles, a Pontiac G6 and a Chevy Malibu, are currently being held by the District Attorney's office because of their evidentiary value.  D.A. Lawrence Friedman opposes both vehicles being returned to Doll, as well as a minivan owned by Doll's mother.

Noonan will issue a ruling at a later date.

An attorney for the estate of Benaquist, Robert Tronolone, put the value of the two cars at $18,000. He said the cars should not be returned to Doll because they are the rightful property of the Benaquist estate.

Attorney Daniel Killelea, appearing on behalf of Doll, asserted that both cars belong to Doll. That Doll purchased the Pontiac at the Odessa Auction in order to resell it, and Benaquist had signed over title to the Malibu so it could be sold through the dealership operated by Doll and Benaquist.

Friedman alleges that the title to the Malibu was forged and that Benaquist had title and insurance for the car in his name and had used it as his own personal vehicle. Friedman also said Benaquist purchased the Pontiac so it could become his personal vehicle. Doll was supposed to complete payment for it though the company's account because private individuals can't buy cars at the auction.

Friedman indicated payment was never made. He further alleged that Doll borrowed money against the Malibu.

"The people presents this as facts, but it's pure speculation," Killelea said. "The records show Mr. Doll purchased (the Pontiac) and whether he purchased on Mr. Benaquist behalf is pure speculation."

Killelea said that after five or six months, the state should have gathered all the evidence it needs for trial from all three vehicles, so they should be released to Mr. Doll. 

Friedman said he wasn't going to concede that all of the evidence has been gathered nor that the vehicles would not be shown at trial to a jury.

Judge Noonan did not indicate when he would issue his ruling.
