Alcohol not involved in fatal car crash
The Onondaga County Medical Examiner's Office announced alcohol did not play a role in the car crash that led to two teenagers deaths.
James Darby, 17, died Monday at University Hospital of Syracuse from multiple injuries he suffered in a car accident. Emergency crews found Ryan Walker, 19, of Auburn, dead at the scene of the accident that happened last weekend.
Darby of Liverpool was driving northbound on Benham Road near Chamberlain Road in Aurelius when he lost control of a Ford Taurus. The 8-year-old vehicle slid into a tree, trapping both Walker and Darby. Walker's brother, Justin, also of Auburn, sat in the back seat and was treated for injuries at the Syracuse facility. He was able to leave the car on his own.
AMH receives grant for restructuring
Auburn Memorial Hospital received a $5,000 grant from the Columbian Foundation Inc. to support its financial restructuring project.
The money will go toward the hospital's payment of Wellspring Partners Ltd. The firm was hired to help the hospital implement a turnaround plan with the goal of increasing revenue or implementing savings totaling more than $7 million.
The Columbian Foundation has given other grants to support a Skaneateles Festival concert and to support a program encouraging seventh- and eighth-graders from Auburn Enlarged City School District to think about college through a visit to Colgate University.

Cayuga County received $280,400 through the U.S. Department of Justice through the Safe Havens: Supervise Visitation and Sage Exchange Grant Program.
The federal funds will provide visitation and exchange services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking.
The county will partner with county Family Court, county Integrated Domestic Violence Court and Cayuga/Seneca Community Action, Inc. to improve victims' services.
