  Former Amerk Gates Orlando made history recently when he became the first person in upstate New York to receive an artificial heart at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Today -- there are 32 patients there awaiting a heart transplant.
  What does it take to become an organ donor? What are some of the myths? Rob Kochik, Executive Director of the Finger Lakes Donor Recovery Network joins us with some answers.

  Plus, some local people are taking the plunge to help Boy Scouts in our community. It's all part of the "21 Stories for Scouts" rappelling event to be held next week. It benefits scouting programs for at-risk and low income families.
