In today's Daily News:
- The lead story is about the tragic death of Erik Mooney, 17, in an early morning fire on Lewiston Road. Exceptional lede from Scott DeSmit: "Despite smoke detectors, a barking dog and the screams of his mouth, a 17-year-old boy was unable to make it out of his burning house on Lewiston Road early this morning." The Batavian posted about the fire at 7 a.m. this morning. The Daily News story ads no new information.
- In budgeting utility prices for the new Sheriff's Office, the Building and Grounds department did not factor in continuous use of the communications center. .... What??? .... That nugget is buried in the sixth graph of a story by Paul Mrozek about utility costs being $71,000 over budget. That's a pretty significant, "oops."
- Joanne Beck writes about this year's Dancing Under the Stars fundraiser for United Way, which is June 7 at Genesee Community College's Stuart Steiner Theater, 1 College Road.
