The garbage truck rolling down your street may be doing more than picking up your trash; it may be leading the way to a new energy future. Modern Disposal has 15 trucks that run on natural gas, and it just unveiled its new filling station at its storage yard in Lewiston. The natural gas is cheaper and cleaner than diesel, and it is from domestic sources. Sounds like a win-win-win situation.

Some local CEO's are on the block - the auction block that is. The Buffalo Niagara Partnership is holding its annual CEO auction to raise funds for its efforts. The bidding for lunch with an area CEO and concurrent networking will occur at the annual party called the "The Hobnob" on Tuesday.

New Era Cap Co. has a knack for being on the cutting edge of popular culture, and they are proving it again with their latest hat called "Linsanity." The cap honors New York Knicks phenom Jeremy Lin. The American graduate of Harvard who is of Taiwanese descent has electrified the sports world. New Era's cap will go on sale at the Delaware Avenue store on Tuesday.
