The Wayne County Board of Supervisors elected Sodus Town Supervisor Steve LeRoy as the permanent Chairman of the Board for 2016 at their organizational meeting on Monday. LeRoy replaces Jim Hoffman, who retired after 10 years as chairman.

LeRoy was nominated by Walworth’s Patti Marini, and he was the only nomination. LeRoy appointed Lyons Town Supervisor Brian Manktelow as vice-chairman.

LeRoy thanked the board for having enough faith in him to elect him as chairman and he acknowledged that Hoffman would be a tough act to follow.

Sandra Sloane was re elected as Clerk of the Board and as Purchasing Agent. Debbie Liseno was elected as Deputy Clerk and Deputy Purchasing Agent.

Rick House was elected as Budget Officer, and Ken Blake was elected as the Deputy Budget Officer.

The Republican supervisors chose Palmyra’s Ken Miller to serve as the majority leader. Since Rose Town Supervisor Kenan Baldridge is the only Democratic supervisor, he will serve as the minority leader.

LeRoy announced the assignments for each committee and they are as follows (the first name listed for each is the head of the committee): 1. Finance: Marini, John Smith, Miller, Steve Groat and Sandy Pagano. 2. Public Safety: Smith, Laurie Crane, Monica Deyo, Anthony Verno and Chuck Verkey. 3. Public Works: Miller, Mike Kolczynski, Dave Spickerman, Verno and Baldridge. 4. Economic Development and Planning: Spickerman, Deyo, Pagano, Groat and Miller. 5.

The Republicans designated the Times of Wayne County as their newspaper of record. Baldridge designated the Sun and Record as the newspaper of record for the Democrats.

The Wayne County Office of the Sheriff reported the arrest of three men in connection with two burglaries at two separate homes in the Town of Sodus on Tuesday (1/5).

Caesarae J. Williams, age 30, of 6193 Hollybush Lane in Ontario, Deion L. Williams, age 18, of 230 Furlong Street in Rochester, and Gabriel D. Baker, age 23, of 631 Oak Street Apt # 1 in Rochester, were arrested at 12:30 p.m. after Sheriff’s deputies were called to a burglary in the Town of Sodus, and the homeowner reported an unknown black SUV in the area at the time of the burglary.

Deputies were in the area attempting to locate the suspicious vehicle, when the vehicle was spotted travelling on Pound Road in Williamson and deputies attempted to stop the vehicle. The operator failed to stop for police, and in the process of fleeing police, the occupants began to throw various items out the window, which later were found to be items taken from the two homes burglarized in Sodus.

Household items were taken along with a hand gun that was later located by police.

The Sheriff’s Deputy cut off the chase when it reached 90 miles per hour on Ridge Road in the Town of Ontario.

A trooper sitting on Ridge Road at the county line saw the vehicle speed by and started a pursuit westbound on Ridge Road. The chase ended on Salt Road in Webster when the suspect vehicle clipped another vehicle and spun out in the front yard of a home.

One suspect was apprehended at the crash scene. The other two were picked up on Phillips Road a short time after.  Ridge Road was  shut down for another couple of hours while police investigated.

Caesarae J. Williams, Deion L. Williams and Gabriel D. Baker were charged with Burglary in the 1st degree a Class B Felony, Burglary in the 2nd degree a Class C Felony, Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the 3rd degree a Class D Felony, and two counts of Grand Larceny in the 4th degree a Class E Felony.

They were arraigned in the Town of Sodus Court. Caesarae J. Williams was remanded to jail without bail due to his prior felony convictions. Gabriel D. Baker and Deion L. Williams were remanded to the Wayne County Jail in lieu of $50,000 cash/$100,000 bond.  All three men appeared in the Town of Sodus Court on Friday (1/8).

State Police are indicating there will be no additional charges involving the  pursuit and crash.

It was a story of two halves in Sodus on Wednesday, as the North Rose – Wolcott (9-0) boy’s varsity basketball team continued their undefeated start to the season, defeating Sodus (4-6), 61 – 40.

In a physical first half, both teams went back and forth and the score stayed fairly even for much of the half. NR-W led by three points going into halftime, 27 – 24.

Spartans Head Coach Mike Magin said the difference in the second half was that NR-W had 19 offensive rebounds compared to Sodus’ two, and NR-W scored 23 points off of those offensive boards.

“We’ve got to get our rebounds and prevent them from getting offensive boards,” Magin said. “We didn’t do that and that was the major difference in the second half.”

NR-W jumped out to 11-point lead towards the end of the third period and never looked back from there. Cougars Head Coach Brian Hoyt said that the first half was more a product of Sodus playing well, rather than NR-W playing poorly.

“Sodus made a lot of shots,” Hoyt said. “We defended them well, we were in their face, but they just made shots.”

NR-W’s Garrett Hoyt led all scorers with 17 points, many of them coming off of offensive rebounds. Elijah Durham scored 12 for the Cougars. Connor Pendleton and Luke Gerstner also scored in double figures with 10 points each.

The leading scorer for the Spartans was Jared Wren, who had 10 points. Wren was the only Spartan to score in double figures. The next highest scorer for Sodus was Kam Davis with nine points.

NR-W entered the game with a record of 8 – 0. According to Magin, prior to the game, his players were ready to try to end the Cougars’ undefeated start.

“You get excited, you know, you want to take a shot at the undefeated team and the top team

in the league,” Magin said. “The boys were excited and ready to play.”

Magin said that, in the end, his team got tired and didn’t have the depth and size to compete with NR-W in the second half.

NR-W played well defensively all game and held the Spartans to 16 total points in the second half.

“Defense is what has really been steady for us this year,” Hoyt said. “I think our kids step up and play well together defensively, and they did that in the second half.”

In the summer of 1988, Thorpe’s father was visiting her when they noticed Straubing Vineyard in the East Bay area of Huron was for sale – which, at the time, was owned by an amateur winemaker from Newark, Bob Straubing. Thorpe’s family decided to purchase the winery, much to the dismay of Thorpe.

“I was the only one who opposed, but my vote was totally disregarded by the rest,” Thorpe said. “So Straubing Vineyard became Thorpe Vineyard.”

After purchasing the vineyard, Thorpe became the business owner and its primary workforce, while still attending college part time. She graduated from SUNY Oswego in 1991, with a degree in meteorology, and an astronomy minor.

Since taking over ownership of the vineyard, Thorpe has expanded it from one acre to three and a half acres. It’s known as “The Little Winery on the Great Lake.”

According to Thorpe, she learned to produce wine through practice. She also read books and would occasionally visit the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station to ask questions. Thorpe said she also went to some wineries in the Finger Lakes for advice, which back then was still growing as a wine region. For the most part, though, Thorpe said she learned on her own.

“[I learned] just from being here,” Thorpe said. “It was sitting in front of me, and I had to deal with it.”

In 2008, Thorpe and her husband divorced, and she became the sole owner of the business. Being from a foreign country and a woman, Thorpe said that it hasn’t always been easy to be a business owner in a field that was dominated by white males when she started. She said she didn’t need to get used to others, but that they needed to get used to her.

“The accent, along with being female, made it kind of hard,” Thorpe said. “Still sometimes I feel it, but it’s getting better.”

During Winter, Thorpe closes the tasting room for the season, unless someone calls to set up an appointment. She spends most of her time during winter in the wine cellar working on improving her wines. Since she doesn’t have any employees, Thorpe said that there’s plenty for her to do.

“You’ve got to be able to do a lot of things and a lot of different things,” Thorpe said.

Thorpe noted that she doesn’t yet know if the mild winter so far will have any effect on the grapes. There wasn’t enough precipitation in November and December, and if it continues, Thorpe said that she would become concerned about a drought situation.

“They’re plants; they’re living things, and we just have to deal with what comes, so I don’t think it’s straightforward,” Thorpe said.

Thorpe Vineyard currently offers 14 different varieties of wine, and Thorpe said that she produces under 1,000 cases per year. Though it may not have been her dream to make wine, Thorpe said that she enjoys living in the country and the process of making wine and her background in science helped her improve her winemaking skills.

Thorpe’s wines have won numerous awards over the years, particularly her sweet white wine, Fialka – which is her biggest award winner. She displays the medals on a shelf with her different bottles of wine behind the tasting room counter. Thorpe started removing some the medals, however, because she didn’t trust the shelf to hold the weight of them.

Over the years, Thorpe has incorporated some of her other passions into the vineyard business. She’s done watercolor paintings since she was child, and she’s turned some of her paintings into labels for her wine.

Thorpe has also incorporated her passion for astronomy into an event that she’ll be holding three times this year called “Starry Starry Night.” During the event, she’ll give each person in attendance a star chart and take them out at night to taste wine under the stars, while she describes the Eastern and Western mythology surrounding the constellations.

“Starry Starry Night” will be held on Aug. 20, Sep. 3 and Oct. 1, all of which are on Saturdays. More info can be found online at www.thorpevineyard.com.

For the past 25 years, Wayne County District Attorney, Rick Healy, has been at the helm of an office charged with prosecuting some of the toughest criminal cases. Even before his election in 1991, his face became familiar as an Assistant District Attorney in the infamous Chad Campbell case, and in the prosecution of child abusers and domestic violence cases.

The Newark resident announced this week that he will be seeking the County Court seat currently held by Judge Dennis Kehoe in this upcoming November elections.

“After a great deal of inner reflection, I have decided that I will run for county court judge seat this year. Judge Dennis Kehoe will vacate his position at the end of the year, due to state mandatory age (70) retirement.  It is time for a change in my life. I have been a prosecutor for thirty five years and the elected district attorney for twenty five years. It is a job I love and it has been an extraordinary privilege to have served as the District Attorney  of Wayne County.”

Judge Kehoe is being forced out of his seat due to an old New York State constitutional law that prohibits a judge from serving beyond the age of 70. As such, he must relinquish his seat by December 31, 2016.

“I love what I am doing,” said Judge Kehoe who recently turned 70. Only New York State Supreme Court judges can get two year extensions to serve on the court beyond the age of 70.

Kehoe attributes the out-of-date forced requirement to a time when the life expectancy of men was well under the age of 70.

Several Wayne County Judges, including former Judge Maurice Strowbridge, now in his 90s, became Judicial Hearing  Officer upon a forced retirement. Judge Kehoe was reelected last November for his  second 10 year term.

Sources have indicated that Judge Kehoe has no intentions of retiring from the law and may actually run for the Wayne County District Attorney spot being vacated by Healy.

Kehoe, a Republican, had originally run for District Attorney, after being a successful Assistant District Attorney for many years, and ironically lost in a the election in 1991 against Healy, Healy, also a Republican, but supported by both the Conservative and  Democrat lines won the seat. Both Healy and Kehoe remained friends and Dennis was easily elected to the Wayne County bench in  1995.

Judge Kehoe said he would not confirm his intentions to run for any political office since it is prohibited for a sitting judge to announce, or campaign for any office. “I don’t intend to retire. Attorneys have a tendency to hang on and I keep myself physically fit.”

Healy, currently age 60, said he will formally announce his intentions to the Republican County Committee when they meet on Tuesday, February 23rd at the Wayne County Court House.

If elected in November, Healy would most likely choose an interim District Attorney to serve until the following general elections in November of 2017. By law, the Governor has the task of appointing a replacement district attorney, but that is usually left up to the local office.

District Attorney Healy currently makes $152,500 in his position, a similar salary to a County Judge. Judge Kehoe is also an acting Supreme Court Judge which brings his total salary to about $176,000 per year.
