Walgreens expands delivery program nationwide
Walgreens is joining rival drugstore chain CVS Health in expanding home deliveries for prescriptions nationwide, as stores continue adjusting to a retail world made more consumer-friendly by online competition.
Walgreens said Thursday it will partner with FedEx to deliver prescriptions as soon as the next day for a $4.99 fee, and it also is providing same-day deliveries in several cities including New York, Chicago and Dallas. The Deerfield, Illinois, company started offering deliveries in several markets in October.
Walgreens and FedEx Corp. began a partnership last year where the drugstore chain started offering package drop-off and pick-up services at several thousand stores.
Woonsocket, Rhode Island-based CVS Health Corp. also announced the expansion of a nationwide prescription delivery program last June.
Retailers have been breaking out more customer-friendly services in recent years to hold Amazon.com at bay.
The online retailer offers same-day deliveries of goods typically sold in the front end of drugstores, or the area outside the pharmacy. That has hurt store sales for the major drugstore chains, which spent years building nationwide store networks to get closer to consumer homes. Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and CVS Health both run more than 9,000 U.S. locations.
Investors have been worried about a potential Amazon leap into the turf of drugstores, especially after watching the online giant dive into groceries with the acquisition of the Whole Foods chain. Amazon sent drugstore shares tumbling briefly in June when it announced the acquisition of PillPack, an online pharmacy that offers pre-sorted dose packaging and home delivery.

NY gets $9M in federal help to fight opioid addiction
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) New York state will receive more than $9 million in federal funds to broaden its fight against opioid addiction.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration announced the new funding on Tuesday.
Of the total, nearly $6 million will go to medication-assisted treatment, with a particular focus on areas upstate. Another $2.1 million will pay for the creation of five new recovery centers in areas perceived to have a higher need for services.
The remaining amount will go toward specialized treatment and recovery programs in locations around New York state.
One program set to receive the funds focuses on connecting people in recovery with transportation so they don’t fall behind on treatments. Another group receiving money trains first responders on how to care for patients that are intoxicated.

Members of the Clyde-Savannah concert bands got into the holiday spirit as they performed in the band concert on Monday, December 3. The concert was held in the high school auditorium and featured three bands, all of which were directed by Michael Witter.
The sixth-grade band performed three pieces, include the holiday classic “Frosty the Snowman.” The seventh and eighth grade band’s performance was highlighted by “Instant Christmas Classic,” and the senior high band concluded the concert by performing parts of crowd-favorite pieces like “Deck the Halls,” “Silent Night,” and “Jingle Bell Rock” in the holiday mash-up “Christmas Sing-a-Long.”
“This is the first year we’ve been able to have a sixth -grade band, and it’s been great,” said Witter. “Thank you to Middle School Principal Jen Kelly for helping us accommodate this band.”
Witter thanked the audience for coming out and supporting the music department.

Walworth-Ontario Rotary Collects Crutches for Africa
The Walworth Ontario Rotary Club is collecting used and surplus mobility devices (wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, etc. to ship them to developing countries, and distribute them -free- to people with physical challenges regardless of their race, gender, tribe, age, or religion. The collection group is Crutches4Africa. They collect and distribute many different types of mobility devices besides crutches. Please consider donating any of the following types of mobility devices: crutches, wheelchairs, walkers, elbow crutches, baby joggers and strollers, leg braces, prosthetic limbs, bike trailers.
Founder of crutches2africa, Dave Talbot, stated that “while in Uganda in 2005 I saw people who had survived the disease of polio. Often they are rejected in their communities. I’m a polio survivor myself. Back in the United States, I realized that many people have a lightly-used and no-longer-needed mobility device from a twisted ankle, ski accident, or operation. I saw crutches at garage sales, in dumpsters, and unfortunately in roll-off containers headed to landfills. I knew that I had to do something; this was the genesis of Crutches 4 Africa”.
Locally the Rotary Clubs of Webster and Ontario-Walworth are working together to head up this project for Rotary District 7120. They are working with the Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central, Cantonments, Accra which is in Ghana, and working with Crutches 4 Africa in Denver, Colorado which is supplying the shipping for them to get them to Africa.
The items they are collecting are: Wheelchairs, Walkers, Crutches, Canes, Orthopedic braces, Specialty walkers, and Disability transporters.
To arrange for drop off or pick up please contact: Ontario-Walworth Rotary Club: Mark Wyse at (315) 524-7561; or Webster Rotary Club: Rich Comins at (585) 872-9584

Palmyra Garlock employee arrested in metal thefts
The Wayne County Office of Sheriff reported the arrest on Thursday (12/6) at 10 a.m. of Kenneth W. Anson, age 59, of Forest Lawn Road in the Town of Webster following an investigation into a larceny of raw materials from Garlock’s in Palmyra.
It is alleged that Anson, who has worked at Garlock’s since 2006 in machine/maintenance was stealing brass scrap, as much as 40-50 pounds at a time, out a back door. He was caught on surveillance cameras placing the stolen metal in his vehicle.
The Company estimated $20,000 of brass was stole over the past two years, but Wayne County Sheriff’s Investigators could only prove a loss of $17,000.
The metal was then taken to Alpco Recycling in Macedon, Metalico on Scottsville Road in Rochester and Weitsman Recycling in Rochester.
Anson was arraigned in the Town of Palmyra Court and released on his own recognizance to reappear in Palmyra Court at a later date.

County and Sheriff’s Deputies continue contract negotiations
The sides seem miles apart in negotiations.
On one side are the Wayne County Sheriff’s Road Patrol Deputies, Sergeants and Criminal Investigator divisions. They have been working under and without a new contract since 2015. After a tumultuous break with the Law Enforcement Union Council 82 and an eventual marriage with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, meetings and talks have come to a stalemate. They are now being represented by Union negotiator Chris Toole. Chris agrees the main issue is money and bringing the Wayne County deputies into parity with both surrounding counties and Village and Town police forces within the County. Charts show wage differences anywhere from $5 per hour, comparing Wayne County deputies to other agencies.
On the other side is the County, represented by chief negotiator John F. Corcoran, the Chief Negotiator representing Wayne County for all Law Enforcement and other bargaining units. He is a lawyer with Hancock Estabrook, LLP out of Syracuse, specializing in contract negotiations.
Corcoran said the deputies union presented wage demands that were to totally unacceptable and outrageous at their first meeting. A second meeting was met with more reasonable terms by the union, but still far short of what the County and Corcoran were willing to meet. At that point the County filed an “Impass” and asked for a neutral mediator to come in and negotiate wage and schedule issues.
Murray Solomon was appointed as the mediator in the contract negotiations and will hear both the union and county at a bargaining session planned for December 21st.
Both sides decided not to negotiate the issue in the media and public, but in the real world of social media – posts and letters abound Somewhere in the middle is Wayne County Sheriff, Barry Virts.
The main issue comes down to money. For decades Wayne County has been known as fertile ground for outside police agencies to pick off deputies with offers of much higher pay and benefits.
Sheriff Virts knows first hand the frustration of training, then losing officers. “The county provides the pay and benefits. As Sheriff, I determine the scope of the deputies tasks, duties and functions. I continue to ask the county to pay the deputies equitably and with parity with the other police departments in the County and surrounding Sheriff’s Offices. Deputies are working way too many extended shifts beyond 12 hours which is an officer safety issue and public safety concern.
I personally cannot blame the deputies for leaving. Our pay and benefits are not equitable to surrounding Sheriff’s Offices, and sadly not even in line with the Wayne County police departments. Our deputy sheriffs go through a rigid selection process, get hired and are trained by this office only to transfer as proven successfully qualified candidates to area police departments that have had great success with the deputy sheriffs Wayne County taxpayers have funded to be trained.
From 2010 to date, this Sheriff’s Office has spent $563,758 to train deputieswho are no longer employed by this office. I know the County Board of Supervisors and the people of Wayne County appreciate the great work and professionalism of the deputy sheriffs. My hope is the County Board of Supervisors and the Teamsters can come to an equitable settlement so this Sheriff’s Office will stop being a training ground for other police departments in this County and the Rochester area.”
According to the Sheriff’s Office, 2017 Road Patrol overtime hours worked totaled 12,020. The overtime budget was $305,000 and the year-end total equaled $414,770.
Another person in the firing line between police and taxpayers is County Administrator, Rick House. Rick worked his way up through the ranks in law enforcement for 35 years to become Wayne County Under Sheriff under Sheriff Virts, before accepting the position as County Administrator.
Now, as the top, non-elected official in the County, House knows not only the myriad safety concerns and issues, the uptick in drug and violence police encounter, but the fiduciary responsibilities to taxpayers. “What, in fairness, can the County afford? Yes, this is basically about wages and looking for parity. I once had to fill those shifts.”
Figures also show Wayne
County has a population of approximately 90,798. According to the U.S. census bureau, the population of Wayne County is declining slightly, at 0.5% per year on average. The county’s unemployment rate for 2016 (4.9%) was 0.1 percentage point higher than the State of New York average for 2016 (4.8%).
House pointed out that as a rural county, it is not just law enforcement that is in this position. He stated that Wayne County has a huge workforce, including nurses, doctors, engineers that face the same decision on whether to leave for what they consider better opportunities. He also pointed out that the County has many dedicated people in law enforcement and other careers who choose to stay here because this is their home. “Not everybody is looking to jump the fence.” Still, he realizes that some of the departure for money is “millennium” in nature, those looking for a home life with fewer nights, weekends and holidays to deal with.
Sodus Town Supervisor/County Board of Supervisors Chairman, Steve LeRoy said he was disappointed by the tone the deputies’ union representative has taken publicly. “He has made bold statements that we don’t care about the deputies, that we should be ashamed of ourselves, support the deputies and have more respect for them. That is not true. Many of those guys are our friends and neighbors. That we don’t care for them is just plain dirty. This thing (negotiations) has become far more ugly than it needs to be.”
There is no doubt Wayne County is on the precipice of financial decisions. For the past five years the County has been tapping their fund balance in order to keep the rising tax rates within reason and the State’s mandated 2% tax rate increase.
At last Tuesday (12/4) evening’s budget hearing, several town supervisors pulled an eleventh hour objection at the 2019 tax increase (see budget explanation on Page A3), arguing that the Board should have taken more out of reserves to balance the budget with no increase for taxpayers.
Chairman LeRoy was upset that this group came forward only at the budget hearing, instead of during the budget process where the fund balance amount was decided. “Our fund balance is healthy now. We are earning a good amount of interest. There are other counties that are in trouble with their fund balance. You never know what mandates the State has coming down.” He pointed to the $1.4 million increase last year in college tuition reimbursement to County students attending state,county colleges.
Still another point of negotiation that can be tied to salaries is the shift structure deputies work. Under the old contract 4/3, where deputies work 10 hour days for 4 days, then get three day off.
This system was negotiated by the deputies in the early 2000s before Sheriff Virts took office. The shift change meant the loss of 2-3 deputies every shift. Not only that, Road Patrol deputies are allowed to drive their cars to and from work. This leads to the $40,000 to $50,000 county police cars often sitting three days in a deputy’s driveway The 4/3 contract negotiation also led to a void where some deputies worked 12-15 hours of overtime to plug the shift. This increased in some cases to where deputies were working 16-17 hours on a shift on follow-ups when an earlier arrest was made.
Overtime hours and payroll skyrocketed It has also become an officer safety issue according to Sheriff Virts. “A deputy shouldn’t be working beyond 12 hours,” said the Sheriff.
A shift change could eliminate much of the overtime expenses. Of course, the deputies now prefer the current scheduling that gives them three days off.
Almost all police departments (except Wayne and Yates County) in the area now work a 4/2 shift, where deputies work an 8 1/2 hour day, with two days off. This would result in more deputies on the road during every shift and cut the overtime hours and costs substantially. Union representative Chris Toole said they (the deputies) are willing to discuss a 4/2 schedule in the negotiations.
Ironically, both Toole and Corcoran said that negotiations are their jobs and neither try and take it personally. Unfortunately for the 50 deputies, County officials and taxpayers, it has become personal.
