PORTER -- The Niagara County Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service received
a $7,000 donation from Waste Management, parent company of the CWM Chemical
Services hazardous waste landfill here. The money came courtesy of the
company's local golf tournament. Jim Callahan of Waste Management, this
year's golf chairman, handed over the check that will provide the group
with equipment for expanding and enhancing its services to Niagara County
in the event of a disaster. "These guys are unsung heroes. They are the
ones prepared to help us communicate to get through any emergency
situation, when other means of communication may be down," Callahan said.

Death of 'Sunday' Radio Ham Jimmy Porter:

Tributes have been paid to local man Jimmy Porter, the licensed radio
amateur best known for taping the military and RUC radio traffic on Bloody
Sunday, who died on Wednesday aged 92. Campaigner John Kelly, whose brother
Michael was one of 14 men murdered on January 30, 1972, told the 'SUNDAY'
that the Bloody Sunday families were "very sad" to hear about Mr Porter's
passing and they wish to pass on their condolences to his family. "We've
always appreciated what Jimmy had contributed to the campaign over the
years, especially through the army messages he recorded which become so
vitally important to the inquiry's evidence," Mr Kelly said. "He also had
the foresight to safeguard the material by hiding it from the British Army
after many raids on his home because he knew that this material could be
used in the future - and he was proved right." Jimmy Porter's love of
amateur radio began when he discovered electronics aged 15, and he later
become a leading radio ham and was also involved in Radio Free Derry.
During the Troubles, Porter owned a television and radio shop at William
Street and regularly listened in on security force radio communications
after civil unrest erupted on the streets in the late 1960s.
