Officials are not confirming the names of the two
victims in Saturday morning's fatal house fire in
Newfane...but the Buffalo News says a friend of the
family told them they are Kenneth Martin of Wilson
and his nephew Mark. County Coroner Robert DuBois
told the paper they are waiting for dental records to
confirm the names. The friend said Kenneth was a
hero because he saved the lives of three others. She
said he was visiting the family when the fire erupted
shortly before 5am Saturday. She said he entered
the burning trailer twice rescuing his sister and
two of her children. He apparently died when he
went back for a third time to save the nephew. His
sister is at ECMC after being taken there by Mercy
Flight. The two children were transported to
Women & Childrens Hospital suffering from burns.
A three year old was treated and released , the ten
year old is still there.

BRUNO
The US Attorney's office in Albany filed papers
Friday asking a judge to give former Senate leader
Joe Bruno a stiff sentence on May 6. They say he
should serve eight years in jail for corrupting his
office. Bruno was found guilty in December of two
counts of "honest service" fraud. The government
says he abused his position by secretly accepting
contracts for his personal business from companies
and unions that were also doing business with the
State. His lawyers say he deserves leniency because
he suffered a fall from power and grace. Both sides
agree he should pay $280,000 in restitution.
