The gentle giant at Harbec Plastics, Inc. in Ontario is the first of its kind in Wayne County. Will there be more wind turbines constructed? Are windmills in Wayne County’s future?

As you drive east from Webster on Route
104 it looms on the horizon – the blades rotating to a rhythm provoked by the wind. On a
snowy day, the Harbec wind turbine appears
almost magically out of the whiteout – WOW
look at that! It really isn’t mystical; it’s an
engineering marvel.
The wind turbine was constructed in December 2002, the first of its kind in Wayne
County. Harbec’s President and owner Bob
Bechtold calls the 130 foot structure the
“gentle giant.” The Fuhrländer 250 kW wind
turbine will generate 450,000 kilowatt hours
annually or about one-third of the power used
at Harbec.
“The 98 foot blades run at two speeds 29
mph or 39 mph. If the wind speed is faster
than 39 mph, the turbine slowly shuts down.”
Bechtold explained at a Williamson Chamber of Commerce meeting held at Harbec late
last year.
On the night that we visited, there was a
strong wind. We stood clustered together
outside, underneath the behemoth. The blades
were moving around quickly, but all you could
hear was the fluttering of the flag attached
near the top of the turbine.
At the base of the tubular tower is a doorway; a few of us ventured in, it was quite

30 years of progress in Ontario
Beh Industrial Park continues growth
By Mike Sorenson
Mail Editor
ONTARIO - The
development of
Beh Industrial Park
during the past 30
years has been
done in a manner
very similar to
what a housing developer does, according to Donna
Burolla, Economic
Development Coordinator for the
town of Ontario.
“Similar to a housing subdivision, they
do it in phases,” Burolla said. “It is a little
slower in attracting businesses.” Covering
more than 100 acres zoned industrial, with
about 60 still available, Beh Industrial Park,
located on the north side of Route 104 on
the western end of Ontario, was created in
1976.
Early on, there were no sewer or water
lines to the park, but an extension of a water main from Ridge Road north to the land,
under Route 104 and the Penn Central Rail-

road tracks allowed development to begin.
According to Burolla, in August 1978
Scientific Polymer
Products was constructed by Ed Vanzo
and the park was off and
running. Other early
businesses to locate in
the park were Sound
Powered Telephone in
October 1979; American Roadways in December 1980 and B-E
Fishing Tackle in November 1983.
“These beginning
companies used holding tanks,” Burolla said.
“Once we got sewers
in there, it took off,”
she said of the park’s
growth.
The sewer lines were
constructed in the early
1990s.

Owners of the park are the Gordon Beh
family. The roads in the Beh Industrial Park
are named after his two sons, Dean Parkway and David Parkway.
“Once sanitary sewers were expanded
within the park, due to a joint venture between the Behs and the town of Ontario, it
attracted a variety of businesses,” Burolla
continued.
One attractive selling point of the park,
she stressed, is its proximity to Rochester. “There is a Rochester-Canandaigua synergy that has been great for us.” In the late
1990s, a number of companies in quick
succession agreed to terms with the town
and county on some tax break packages and
came to the park.
Among them were Weco Metal Products, a sheet metal fabricator that once
called Webster home before moving its 75
employees east to Ontario; ERM Thermal
Technologies, a heat sink manufacturer
which employs 93 people and moved from
East Rochester; and Optimax Systems Inc.,
a manufacturer of prototype lenses that has
grown, Burolla said, from 35 employees
to more than 120.
“Incentives play into it,” Burolla said of
attracting the companies. “Tax abatements
are offered elsewhere. Anywhere you go,
you can get tax abatements. I think the main
thing is location.” Working with the
county’s Industrial Development Agency
and the town, companies locating in Beh
Industrial Park usually will receive 100
percent tax breaks for their first five years,
and 50 percent tax breaks for the next five
years. There are also state financial benefits in that the entire park is an Empire
Zone, Burolla stated.
Burolla said Weco recently was sold and
the new owners renegotiated the
company’s payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement with the town.
“It is an incentive to keep companies
here. Hopefully they will be seeing the benefits of being here,” Burolla said. “The idea
is to keep the economy moving, keep the
companies and people here.” Three companies located in Ontario, also all in Beh
Industrial Park, were named last fall to the
Rochester Top 100 companies list: Optipro
was No. 13, ERM Thermal Technologies
was No. 19 and Optimax Systems was No.
65.
“That kind of speaks for itself,” said
Ontario’s Economic Development Coordinator.
As for the future, Burolla said the park’s
future seems to be in becoming a niche for
optics. Already in the park is Optipro,
which makes the machines that grind
lenses, and Optimax, which makes lenses.
She points with pride to the fact that the
lenses on the Mars rover were made in Ontario.
And coming soon to the park is Ariel Optics. The plant will be built this spring. Ariel
is currently located in Ontario with four
employees. When the new 6,200-squarefoot plant is constructed, initial plans call
for the hiring of another four to five workers each year for the next two years.
Ariel, started by a former Optimax employee, manufactures flat optical components. It will be located on David Parkway.
Most of the work the company does,
Burolla said, is military contracts with the
remaining business done with National
Laboratories.
Other optics firms in the park are Photon Gear which offers optical engineering
support including design and manufacturing services with eight employees; and
Spectra Services, which specializes in microscopy imaging applications and employs
15.
Burolla said each company in the park
that needs employees is willing to train
them. “There are still companies looking
for people,” she remarked.
Some of the attractions of the park for
prospective companies, Burolla said, are:
* building lots can range from an acre
and up with minimal site work required;
* all sites are pre-approved with the
town. Specific building approval with the

Development in Walworth lower than last year,
but outlook remains positive
By Ann Metz
Mail Reporter
Unlike its Ontario neighbor, the
Town of Walworth
and its surrounding areas have not
seen a significant
fluctuation in the
numbers of new
single
family
homes completed
each year.
Although construction on new
single family homes decreased to 32 in
2005 - down from 42 in 2004 - this was
not as sharp a decline as experienced by
other areas in Wayne County. In 2003, 37
homes were completed in Walworth.
Norm Druschel, Building Inspector, said
these numbers reflect a mixture of homes
completed as part of subdivisions and as
single plots.
“In 2004, two-thirds of single family
homes were in subdivisions and one third
were in single plots,” Druschel said.
Most of the residential homes measure
between 1700 and 1800 square feet and
cost between $150,000 and $160,000 to
construct.
Druschel said there was not any one
month in 2005 that had a significant increase or decrease in the number of homes
completed. Typically in the winter during
November, December, and January, there
is a lull in the building permit process for
new homes due to the colder weather.
Beginning in the spring, there is a bigger increase in the number of permits.
“Currently we have three buildings under construction at Orchard View Estates
and two more houses there received permits this week,” Druschel said.
Four areas that have seen the greatest
amount of residential construction activity in 2005 are Parkview Green, Rolford
Heights, Orchard View Estates and there has
been some development in Gananda.
— increase in numbers of residential homes could occur
Rolford Heights is located on the corner of Route 441 and West Walworth Road,
while Parkview Green is located on the corner of Mildahn Road and West Walworth
Road in Gananda Parkway. Orchard View
Estates is located off Orchard Street.
Druschel seemed enthusiastic about Orchard View Estates. He said developers recently finished completing a section there
in preparation for new homes.
“There will be three houses going in this
section by the end of this winter,” he added.
Commercial development in 2005 improved for Walworth with the construction
of an office park next to The Station on
Canandaigua Road and the completion of a
party house at Carey Lake.
Druschel said the Gananda Physical
Therapy building just opened in the new office complex and a restaurant and more offices are slated to fill the space. Druschel
said he did not know the exact square foot-
age of the entire office complex, but the
physical therapy building is approximately
3,000 square feet.
In June 2005, a 10,000 square foot party
house was completed at Carey Lake.
“We have some areas that are proposed
for commercial development, but not a
lot,” Druschel said. “We don’t have any
completed commercial properties for development. There have been a lot of proposals, but nothing definite on the books
right now.” Tony Evans, a developer for
Orchard View Estates, said they currently
have a total of 124 approved lots just in
Orchard View so far.
Evans said they completed at least eight
new homes in 2005, but many that were
started in 2005 are just nearing completion now. He said last week that they will
be starting work on a new home.
“We feel Walworth is the next hot spot
for real estate,” Evan said confidently. “I
think a lot of people are beginning to discover they can
get a lot more for a house
without having to pay as
much money.” Evans cited
the results of a survey done
by a marketing firm in October 2005 that stated
homes built in Walworth by
the Orchard View Builders
that had the same square
footage, upgrades and used
the same materials as homes
constructed in Penfield cost
$30,000 less. (Evans could
not say what the name of the
marketing company that
completed the research).
Aside from prices, Evans
said other features about
Walworth are appealing for

“If a person doesn’t mind commuting an

said. “There’s a lot more development happening here than in Webster or Penfield

When you love your workout, results come easy. That·s why Jazzercise blends aerobics, yoga, Pilates,
and kickboxing movements into fun dance routines set to fresh new music. All fitness levels are welcome.
Jazzercise is 35! Who knew?
That’s right, Jazzercise is still going strong. With three and a half decades under our belt, Jazzercise
• is the world’s leading dance fitness program with 6,000 instructors teaching 20,000 classes weekly
• was founded by Judi Sheppard Missett in a Chicago dance studio in 1969
• continues to be the exercise of choice for thousands looking for an effective yet FUN workout
• has positively affected people both physically and emotionally through its motivating and caring nature
“Since the 1960s we’ve become increasingly aware of the need to exercise,” Missett says, “but that awareness
doesn’t always translate into behavior. We all have good intentions, and invest in tools we think will improve our
health, but in my 36 years advancing healthy lifestyle, diet and exercise principles, I’ve found that it takes more
than just a financial commitment for most people to start exercising. Though purchasing fitness equipment or a
club membership is a good step toward fitness, they will only be as effective as they are motivating.”
Jazzercise, the world’s most popular dance fitness program, is seeing a steady growth throughout this past
year. This trend suggests that people may be finding their motivation to exercise in the inherent accountability
group classes like Jazzercise provide. As people become intimidated by health club machines or lose interest in
their personal equipment, they find inspiration in other people striving for the same goals. According to Misset,
founder and CEO of Jazzercise, Inc., this community support combined with a fun and effective program is a
great way to motivate people to take active steps toward better health.
For Dália Oliver, franchised Jazzercise instructor since 1992, building supportive exercise communities has
been particularly successful in helping students maintain healthy lifestyles both in Ontario and Webster. “As a
whole, the company has preserved its roots in American communities by holding classes in churches, community
centers and schools with instructors that project a realistic image of fitness, says Oliver.” Most Jazzercise instructors
began as participants themselves, helping them relate to the class and create a supportive atmosphere. Oliver
started teaching classes in Ontario through the Parks and Rcreation Department in 1998, and has recently
moved to the heart of Ontario Center, at 1638 Ridge Road. “We now offer six classes per week in Ontario, and
we make it very convenient for parents with children as we have babysitting on site. I think every woman owes it
to herself to try Jazzercise at least once in her lifetime.”

ONTARIO, - According to Ed Collins,
Building Inspector and Code Enforcement
Officer for the Town, 2005 was a difficult
year for the construction of new homes and
businesses.
Collins reported that there were only 51
residential homes built in 2005, down from
70 in 2004. In 2003 50 new residential
homes were constructed in Ontario and in
2002, 65 were constructed. Ninety percent
of the homes from 2002 to 2005 were
built in subdivisions and only two or three
homes were constructed on single plots.
He said the cost of building new homes
in Ontario in 2005 averaged approximately
$225,000 per house.
Collins said the dramatic decrease in
home construction was the result of a
downturn in the housing market beginning
in September 2005.
“It seemed like the market dropped out
on us this year,” Collins said, in an interview from January. “At the beginning of
2005 we were on a roll. We thought we
would exceed the number of new houses
built in 2004, but then in September things
really slowed down.” Collins said there
were no new residential houses constructed in Ontario in September 2005.
Two were completed in October and three
in November, but the numbers slumped to
zero again in December.
“We have a lot of approved building lots,
but no homes,” Collins added. “It’s not
weather-related. This has been a mild winter and last December we completed seven
new houses.” As of January 2006, there
have again not been any new homes finished
in Ontario.
Collins said he is hoping for the market
to improve, but even if things turned
around, Collins said he expects the 2006
new home rates to be the same as those in
2005.
There were no industrial properties built
in Ontario in 2005, but there were four
commercial permits issued including properties on Dean Parkway and the Benderson
Development on Route 104, by the current
Tops Plaza. The largest of these commercial permits was for the Benderson Development, with approximately 20,000 square
feet of space.
In a brief interview on Feb. 6, Economic
Development Coordinator Donna Burolla
said Economic Development still does not
know what tenants will be moving into the
Benderson Development Space. She also
said they have not been approached by any
potential tenants at this point in time, either.
Burolla did say Economic Development
and the Planning Board may hear something when construction begins on the steel
frame of the building at the Benderson site.
Those permits issued on Dean Parkway
were for buildings between 10 and 15,000
square feet.
In 2004 there were no new industrial
buildings, but six commercial permits were
issued, as compared with 2003 when two
industrial buildings were completed and
three commercial permits were issued.

Ontario’s Main Street seeks business
boom with formation of BID
By Vanessia Smith
Mail Reporter
A group of determined business
owners
on
Ontario’s Main
Street have decided it’s about
time they did
something - at
least since the
town said so.
According to
Laurie FurgusonKenney, a facilitator behind the project, rubble left behind
from two fires several years ago became
an overbearing eyesore to the businesses
between Knickerbocker and Furnace roads.
When the businesses approached the
town about removing the charred remains,
they were told to basically “help yourself,”
Furguson-Kenney said.
That’s when the facilitator said a small
group of business owners decided to band
together to form a business improvement
district, or BID.
“One business doesn’t raise enough
money on its own,” she said.
If the businesses formed a BID, then
they will collectively be able to apply for
grants once they are “established and in
place,” said Furguson-Kenney.
Furguson-Kenney co-owns Furguson
Haircare, on 2005 Ridge Road, with her sisters and brother, and so far, they have been
the driving force behind this mission.
Once they are established as a BID, a notfor-profit group, the business owners involved already have their eyes set on a grant
- a Main Street grant. When they apply, and
if they receive it, the BID board of directors, will determine how the money will be
divided. They cannot apply for a grant unless they are an organization or group of
some nature, Furguson-Kenney said.
“They will have a say in how the money
can be spent so it benefits the whole area,”
Furguson-Kenney said.
Right now, with the support they need
from the community and town in place, it
is up to the State Comptroller’s office to
give the final stamp of approval.
The BID-to-be also looked to their neighbors for help, too. Webster and Williamson all have BIDs in place.
Michael Gustin, former Webster BID
president, spoke with Furguson-Kenney
about getting the group off the ground.
Gustin said the best advice he could offer to Furguson-Kenney, although it is
something Webster does not abide by, is
to have a paid full or part-time employee
on board.
The purpose of this is to have the employee taking care of all of the little things,
while a board of volunteers would be better used for making decisions and providing input.
“It’s too hard when everyone is a volunteer,” Gustin said. “I’ve seen it go bad in
other communities.”And, Gustin said the
fact stands true in Webster, too. Many times
different projects fell through because the
priorities were not there.
Being a close neighbor to Ontario,
Gustin has seen the need for a district in
the area.
“Most villages or towns don’t put the
time or dollars to put into business districts. It’s up to the businesses,” Gustin
said. “A BID allows the business community to secure grants and money to better
themselves. I think they are all on the same
page. Some might have felt that they are a
small, little community and might have lost
sight of the big picture. They cared more
about helping themselves instead of helping the community.” Gustin added, “You
have to have it to survive.”

For Furguson Kenny, a BID would be an
asset to the Ontario community and the
need for one has become more evident during the year and a half task.
“(A BID) will provide the support and potential to revitalize Main Street and make
it a nicer place to live, shop and work,”
Furguson-Kenney said. “It will better the
economy, increase property value and on
and on. I’ve learned a lot and there was a
lot to learn.” She said for businesses to
form such a group, they would have to understand that they are taxing themselves in
creating the district.
“We are working to provide a service that
would be an enhancement for everyone (to
enjoy),” she said.

Sustainable Energy Development
By Wilma Young
ONTARIO – As
you walk into the side
entrance at SED, it’s
almost like walking
into a university
classroom – computers all over the place,
enthusiastic engineers having conversations about what
they feel passionate
about. In this case the
partners at SED are
into wind power. The group is located at the
corner of Route 104 and Furnace Road (a
former real estate office). SED opened its
facility in August 2005.
“It all started in 2002. We (Loren
Pruskowski, George McConochie, Kevin
Schulte, Ernie Pritchard and Joe Swaha) had
all been involved in the wind farm industry
(mostly in Texas). We are also graduates of
James Madison University in Virginia,” explained Pruskowksi.
The partners believe SED is going to flourish in Western New York, but more importantly the young entrepreneurs are certain
wind power is the wave of the future; that it’s
environmentally friendlier than current utility producers and that the cost of electricity
is going to skyrocket.
They have participated in numerous wind
power and other informational meetings
throughout the area and are considered by
some as the foremost experts on the subject.
Wind power is a relatively new process in the
greater Monroe County area. There are proposals for wind farms in the Finger Lakes
region, the Town of Fenner has a small facility, and the Town of Perry just jumped on the
bandwagon hoping to have municipal wind
power built in the township.
Kevin Schulte worked with the Town of
Williamson as they developed their windmill
ordinance. SED has prepared a summary for
the Town of Webster to look into reducing
energy costs at their water plant. “We’ve
taken an initial look. It’s our professional
opinion that there is a viable project there,”
explained McCononchie. “They have decided
to do a grant application and develop a fur-
ther study.”
Wind analysis has been prepared for the
Town of Williamson to see if there is a potential for the utility cost savings at the water
and/or sewer plant. They are waiting on the
town’s electrical use/cost history.
Also in Williamson, SED has worked with
property owner Steve Smalley, on Lake Road.
His wind turbine will probably be the first to
be constructed. If everything goes right that
will be sometime this Spring. The 10kW turbine will be an on site use windmill.
“How does that work? What happens if the
wind isn’t blowing?” I asked.
“You are still connected to the grid,” explained Pruskowski. “In essence once you
have the wind turbine installed and it begins
to produce power, that will go directly into
the house and the homeowner gets to use it.
At night, when you don’t use as much power,
the extra power goes into the grid. When the
wind is not powering the turbine, you use the
grid as your battery; equipment on the turbine tracks the power and when the homeowner needs the power, you get it back as a
credit.”
“You don’t actually get your own metered
electricity back,” added McConochie, “that
goes to your neighbors….when you get
power back that comes from the grid.” According to him, the size of the turbine is based
on the usage. Wind in Wayne County is seasonal. There is more wind in the winter, less
in the summer.
“You can assume you are going to generate about 10 kilowatts in a year if you live in
Wayne County within 5 miles of the lake. If
you live closer, that could increase to 15 kilowatts. On average, most houses will use about
10 kilowatts depending on usage,” continued
McConochie. “In terms of electrical savings,
we’ll calculate that – some months you will
use more, others less. We estimate, over the
course of one year, an average household
could save $1,200 a year calculated over the
life of the turbine. Depending on wind and
usage, that turbine will pay for itself in 8 to
15 years.”
A wind turbine could cost up to $50,000.
While that amount might seem staggering at
SED’s wind gurus - Loren Pruskowski, George McConochie
first, the benefits from converting to wind
energy could begin as soon as a system is
installed. With a 50% state grant and low interest loan on the rest, it becomes more appealing. If you look at what the average household pays for their electricity each month,
and that would go away, a payment for a turbine becomes more affordable.
“In the next five to ten years, I believe there
are going to be tremendous rate increases
across the board because of our dependency
on oil. In New York State, 20-25% of electricity is produced by oil generation,”
Pruskowski said. “I don’t believe gas (natural) and oil prices are going to go down in the
immediate future.”
“People don’t really know the true cost of
power from conventional sources – how it
affects our air and water – the cost of cleaning that up…and the cost of the health problems,” he continued.
“But people fight change – they are unfamiliar with new technology,” McConochie
interrupted Proskowski. “If they would stop
at Harbec, they could see that it (wind power)
is a much better source of electricity. These
(turbines) are not just ‘bird blenders’ that
people are putting up in the sky. Renewable
energy is just not one of those things that
‘Hippies” do. People need to understand, this
(wind energy) is mainstream, it’s reliable and
it’s affordable….and it’s environmentally
friendly!”
“You can utilize wind energy and clean up
the character of the community,” Proskowski
offered. “It’s a resource that’s there. You could
even minimize the amount of development
that can occur – it’s a form of green space
preservation.”
Wind power projects in Wayne County are
at a very preliminary stage. It is understandable that proper protections need to be in
place – that’s an important community process. Renewable energy projects, like wind
farms and on site use turbines, have the potential of changing Wayne County. The political environment and community support
will decide.

Redeem Bethel COGIC
Branches out
By Pamela Rogers “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no
man shall see the Lord.”
Hebrews 12:14
WILLIAMSON
- What do apple
trees and churches
have in common?
They can be found
in abundance in the
Town of Williamson and its neighboring communities. Both come in
many varieties; one nourishes the body, the
other nourishes the soul. Together, they comprise the economical and spiritual foundation
on which the community was built and both
continue to flourish in an area that embraces
the future without forgetting its past. The Redeem Bethel Church of God in Christ
(COGIC), located on Route 104 between
Pound Road and Townline Road, exemplifies
this scenario.
In the mid-seventies, Pastor Henry Prior,
a native of Georgetown, South Carolina, began as an associate minister at the small Williamson church, then known as Redeem
COGIC. The attending Pastor, William Jones,
served as mentor and friend to Prior who became a full minister during the 12 years the
two men worked together.
The interior of the building is spacious,
aesthetically pleasing and acoustically structured. Six hundred padded chairs were delivered in February, most of which will be used
for the main floor seating area. There is also
a full balcony with pews that can seat up to
300 people. In addition to numerous offices,
the church contains a computer room, conference room, two separate refreshment areas, changing rooms for the choir, and a childcare room with an observation window and
intercom system enabling those inside to
participate in the worship service. There is a
small chapel for personal reflection and
meditation, which will later be dedicated as
the Superintendent William Jones Memorial
Chapel, in honor of the late beloved Pastor.
While Redeem Bethel COGIC is involved
in several different ministries, the music
ministry has proven to be a popular choice
for young people who comprise 50 percent
of the congregation. The 30 member choir
is accompanied by a full music ensemble
during the worship services, which are re-

Pastor Henry Prior, celebrating his 23rd
year as a minister
Eventually, Pastor Prior moved to Rochester and started the Bethel Church where he
remained for the next 13 years. Upon the
demise of Pastor Jones, the COGIC hierarchy, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee,
permitted the two churches to merge into
Redeem Bethel COGIC. Subsequently, in
1996 Pastor Prior returned to his roots in
apple country bringing the entire city congregation with him. Like a carefully grafted
tree, the new church flourished and it wasn’t
long before they outgrew the original church
building.
Since it was more cost-effective to construct a new church rather than remodel the
old one, they purchased land on both sides of
the current property and looked into possible
building designs. Pastor Prior noted, “The
Lord gave us a vision to try to do something
more here.”
The vision began to materialize when M&T
Bank financed the project and the Secor
Group broke ground seven months ago. In addition to celebrating his 23rd year in the ministry, Pastor Prior now has the added blessing of ushering in a new era for the church as
they make preparations to move into the facility by the end of March 2006.
He attributes his fruitful ministry to God’s
benevolence and support from his wife of 32
years, Evangelist and First Lady Barbara
Prior, as well as from his dedicated staff and
devout congregation. Pastor Prior added, “We
are a people that have God in our hearts. We
try to let the community know that we are
here to serve.”
With a congregation of approximately 300
people, the new facility will provide ample
parking, easy access and plenty of room to
expand in the future. This is welcome news
to the large administrative staff needed to
efficiently run a church of this size. Aside
from the Pastor and First Lady, church officials include nine associate ministers, 10
Deacons, nine Board of Trustee members, 16
missionaries and the Church Mother Ethel
Wynn, who facilitates counseling for Christian women. Deacon Nathaniel Wynn is Chairman of the Deacons; Deacon James Alexander is Chairman of the Trustees.

residents at the Blossom View Nursing
Home. Similarly, the Young People Willing
Workers and Bible Band programs are both
offered twice a month following the Tuesday night prayer meetings. The biggest event
for COGIC members is the Holy Convocation that is held in Memphis every November for seven days.
The new facility resides in a picturesque
setting, framed by pine trees and secluded
from the industries developing along the
Route 104 corridor. It remains connected
to the original church building by a rustic
bridge crossing the small stream that separates the two properties. Eventually, the old
church will be turned into a daycare center
while its lot will provide additional parking.
Plans are also in the works for the addition
of a fellowship hall equipped with a gymnasium when the funds become available.
Pastor Prior and his staff plan to dedicate
the new church building in October 2006
during a weekend of festivities for the entire
community. At that time, the church will officially be renamed as Redeem Bethel
COGIC Community Fellowship Center. Pastor Prior commented on the name change by
saying, “This is a community centered fellowship. This is the Lord’s church. Every
person is welcome to come and worship
here.”
Redeem Bethel COGIC, located at 4494
Route 104 in Williamson, offers the following weekly church services:
10:00 a.m. Sunday School
11:45 a.m. Sunday Morning Worship Service
7:00 p.m. Tuesday night Prayer; with a

By continuing successful operations. Collect recycling materials from homes and small
businesses. Process those materials into a marketable form. Sell the materials on the open
market. Start all over again each time a truck leaves the facility filled with collected glass or
paper or plastic.
Recycling is a concept which seems very simple and obvious. The Blue Boxes on the roadside
proclaim, “This household recycles!” In fact, recycling is much more complex. Setting the Blue
Box on the side of the road filled with newspapers, cardboard, and containers is one very tiny
step in the process.
To conduct a recycling program, the first public step is to let people know what the program is
about. Each year the Western Finger Lakes Solid Waste Management Authority sends a brochure
to each household in Wayne County. The brochure details the portion of the process that
happens in people’s homes. Letting people know about recycling rests on the assumption that
trucks are ready for the collection routes and that drivers are trained to pick up the materials.
A moment on the drivers. Recycling collection is not the same as garbage collection. The
drivers must care about the materials that go into their trucks. Quality is important. Volume is
important too. However, there is no use in collecting materials in the recycling truck if they will
end up in a landfill. The right materials have to go in the truck. The recycling truck drivers are
the first professionals to look at the materials in the Blue Box and make sure they are the right
materials, prepared and separated the right way. While people in their homes are very dedicated
about putting the materials in their Blue Boxes, sometimes they make mistakes. Sometimes they
think they are doing things the right way when they have misread the recycling information. It
happens. The drivers are careful because they understand that mistakes happen.
After collecting and processing and shipping to markets, then the main event of recycling
starts. Industries are based on the materials collected from homes. Those materials are the raw
feedstock that becomes a new product to enter the marketplace. Plastics are reconfigured into
fabric for fleece vests and fibers for carpets, containers for laundry detergent and lumber for
decks. Paper becomes more paper or cellulose insulation or pulp for hydro-seeding projects.
Recycling is not complete until materials collected from homes and businesses become new
products, including packaging, that consumers purchase. When we pick up a ream of copy
paper that has a label reading “Recycled Content – 30% post-consumer” only then has recycling
happened. The full Blue Box by the side of the road is one small step in the process of
recycling.
For over fifteen years, the Western Finger Lakes Solid Waste Management Authority has
assisted the collection and processing of materials from Blue Boxes feeds industries as close
as Port Gibson and as far away as Beijing. The Authority’s job is to help the residents and
businesses of Wayne County to continue their active participation in recycling.
For more information, please call the Western Finger Lakes Authority at 1.800.724.3867.

The First Presbyterian Church of Ontario Center, located at 1638 Ridge Road,
announces “A Circle of Re-Creation,” a
Labyrinth project for the communities
of Ontario and Walworth. A labyrinth is
a walking path that has no wrong turns
or dead ends. The twists and turns of its
circular path lead, reliably, into the center
and back out again. Walking the labyrinth is a centuries-old practice that has
been found to bring peace, reduce stress,
restore balance, and enhance emotional and
spiritual well-being.
The church’s new 24 foot canvas labyrinth will
soon be rolled out on our Parish Hall floor, and will offer the community an opportunity to take part in this unique experience. We will be open to the public,
Wednesday evenings, beginning March 8 and continuing through March 29. At
7:00pm, a time of preparation will begin, with simple prayers and songs. At 7:30,
an introduction to walking the labyrinth will be offered. Then, from 7:30-9:00,
the labyrinth will be available for walking.
Time for yourself ... time with God ... time with others ...
isn’t it time to join our “Circle of Re-Creation?”

steady for the last ten years but recently the
numbers have increased, averaging nearly 16
new homes per year. This is especially true
in Sodus Point and in the town near Sodus
Bay Heights Golf Club.
Opposite the old Malt House and overlooking Great Sodus Bay in Sodus Point will
soon be 26 new condominiums in “Vistas at
The Harbor,” built by Sodus Point Development. Prime mover, Neil Baisch, has been involved in the area for years, as he belongs to
the Sodus Bay Yacht Club. This staggered development is located off Harbor View Court,
a private access road. They are part of an ambitious complex that already include New
Horizons docks, and will eventually include
an RV park, clubhouse and pool.
There are currently two sets of docks in
place and a third has been proposed. Both
water and wastewater service will be supplied
by the village, which can handle the increased
demand, according to Mayor Mike Sullivan.
Sullivan explained that the wastewater treatment plant was built to handle effluent from
the malt house, which shut down in 1986. As
a result the plant is only running at capacity.
Water will come from the village through
town supply lines, and there is a steady supply available.
Heading south out of Sodus Point on Rt.
14 brings you to the entrance road to Sodus
Bay Heights Golf Club and as you travel up
that road you will see the model home for
The Fairways, which is the start of a 27-lot
patio style home development. Tailored to the
golfing set, these homes are located along
the 18th fairway with a view of the course
and Sodus Bay beyond. Like “Vistas at The
Harbor,” these homes, once constructed, will
receive water and wastewater service from
Sodus Point. Developer Larry Panipinto’s
roots go back a long way as his grandparents
By Perry Howland
once owned a farm
on Lake Bluff. He
also
owned
Preston Farms for
20 years and has
built upwards of 40
homes in the Town
of
Sodus.
Panipinto is working in conjunction
with Dave Malta of
Barden Homes,
who has contributed both designs as well as
building materials. Having been a member of
the golf club since the 1970’s, Panipinto feels
that he “understands the mood of what people
want.” This knowledge seems to be proving
true as nearly a dozen people have expressed
interest, many of whom are ‘snowbirds’ looking for a summer home. Panipinto has also
taken an option on more property nearby, with
development depending on the speed of sales
in The Fairways. Having an admitted “soft spot
for Sodus,” Panipinto first built in Sodus in
the 1970’s, when he put up 20 homes in The
Woodlands on Harvest Drive off Kelly Road.
He also built a dozen homes around Shaker
Heights.
New Sodus Town Supervisor Steve LeRoy
is hoping that a proposed apartment complex
will come to fruition. The complex is being
promoted by Providence Housing of Rochester, which is affiliated with Catholic Charities. It would provide affordable rental housing for families and seniors. Included in the
mix are one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with the final determination to come
after the company does a local market study.
The proposal was tabled by the Town Planning Board at their January meeting until their
February 7th session. That is so town board
members and others could visit other projects
by the same developer in Shortsville, Elmira,
Clyde and Rochester. According to LeRoy,
he is a big advocate for growth such as this
within the town, but it must be done with clear,
definite guidelines. He expressed concern for
out-of-town landlords and is especially conContinues on page 13B

cerned because there is no on-site superintendent for the proposed development. He
has had discussions with representatives who
assured LeRoy that maintenance issues would
be addressed in as timely a fashion as possible.
If the proposed complex by Providence
Housing includes families with school-age
children, Sodus Central School has room for
student growth. Thanks to a recently completed district-wide capital project, all three
buildings could absorb additional children.
According to Superintendent of Schools Susan K. Salvaggio, enrollment has been stable
for the past five years, while she noted there
are bubbles of student population currently
in the Middle School. While discussing student enrollment, Salvaggio addressed what
she sees as a need for quality housing within
the district. She even related her story of how
she and her husband went searching for a
home within their need and means in order
to fulfill the district’s requirement for living
within the district.
In Sodus Point there are very few possible
areas left for housing, observed Mayor
Sullivan. Those are along Lake Road and off
Bayview Drive. Echoing Salvaggio’s concern
for quality housing, Sullivan admitted that both
of these areas would be beyond the financial
reach of most people starting out. Even CEO
Hendrikse remarked that housing starts like

Village Auction: Going, Going,
Gone from Wolcott
by Deborah J. Myers
ALTON - After 10 years in one location,
Village Auction Company
(www.villageauctioncompany.com)
switched villages in November: Wolcott
for Alton. Auctioneer and owner Jim Hoyt
sold his former building, at 11364 Ridge
Road, to D&L Disposal in Wolcott, for an
undisclosed sum.
“I came down here and built [a building in
Alton] the way I wanted it,” he said.
Hoyt had founded the company in 1981
and it had been housed in a number of different buildings in the county over the years.
The Wolcott-based building was heated
with used motor oil; heating with propane in
the new building has proved to make it “a
much cleaner facility,” Hoyt said.
The auctioneer and his nine part-time and
one full-time employees are also enjoying
the well-insulated building’s warmth and better location, 5428 Route 14, near 104.
Corresponding overhead doors also help
when staff members and clients bring in large
pieces.
“It’s like a drive-through,” Hoyt said.
The auction house hosts weekly auctions,
but Hoyt said that those have downsized, despite the business increasing from 3,800
square feet to 4,300.
“We’re trying to be more selective as far
as the things we sell,” he said. “It’s a little
better quality.”
In addition to scheduled auctions at his
facility, Hoyt performs on-site auctions for

farms and households.
The latter is more convenient in that his staff
does not need to unload, unwrap, sort, tag,
display, and track the
items to make sure that
the correct seller receives the correct amount.
But that doesn’t lessen the need for the
weekly auctions and the antiques and collectibles auctions (held the first Friday of
each month).
“If you don’t have enough stuff to have a
household auction, or if you live in town and
can’t have a tent set up, that’s where this building comes in,” he said.
Hoyt would not comment on the previous
year’s revenue, but said simply “We sell a lot
of stuff!”
The move to Alton is just the beginning of
changes for Village Auction. Once the
weather breaks and enables construction,
Hoyt hopes to finish a large parking area. He
also wants to set up a pavilion near the back
of his new facility to accommodate farm
sales.
The business also rents trucks, trailers,
equipment, tents and portable toilets.
“There are 11 acres here, so there’s plenty
of room for expansions,” he added.
Village Auction Company is open Tuesday
through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For
more information, call 483-1900.

Bastian Motor Company
By Deborah Myers
Doug Bastian, “ A prototype of the True Rotary Hydrogen Engine should be completed
in about 10 months.”
NORTH ROSE - You may not have heard
of The Bastian Motor Company, Corp., but
founder Doug Bastian is hoping to radically
change the arena of alternative fuel engines.
The six-year-old company has focused
on building a hydrogen-powered engine for
the application of a home fuel source and,
eventually, for vehicles.
Bastian’s True Rotary Hydrogen Engine
uses hydrogen to fuel a highly efficient rotary engine. The 57-year-old former Xerox
engineer said that the idea came to him in
a burst of creativity that surprised him.
“About the middle of my 50th year, my
thinking started changing,” he said. “It’s like
my brain is coming of age as far as my creativity.”
So what’s special about his idea? Plenty.
It’s completely hydrogen-powered, water-cooled, generates little sound and no
pollution, uses no petroleum products and
operates at an estimated 70 percent efficiency. The only byproduct is pure water.
Bastian anticipates that the engine’s
long-term cost should be low because it has
many fewer parts than traditional engines.
The real kicker is how it works. Most
rotary engines, such as Wankel’s, uses a
nearly triangular rotor spinning around inside a circular housing instead of a traditional motor’s vertically-oriented pistons.
Bastian has eliminated the rotor and replaced it with two thin, flat, oblong “piston
plates” that turn independently while sharing a common axis on the long edge. They
are housed in a 9-inch diameter cylinder.
The plates circle the axis in unison, positioned closely enough to form a wedgeshaped, moving combustion chamber.
Also unlike many other hydrogen engines, Bastian’s uses the hydrogen to directly power the engine, not on electricity
generated by using hydrogen.
A dearth of hydrogen filling stations
should not hinder the engine’s automotive
application. Along with his associate Tom
Parker of Sodus, Bastian is developing the
possibility of avoiding hydrogen compression by using a portable hydrogen extractor that will start with a small amount of
water to meet the fuel requirements of the
engine.
“You provide your own fuel: water,”
Bastian said. “Could this be taxed?”
Bastian is also working on polymers for
sealing the piston plates, and the engine
output power distribution system, among
other components.
“I’m not inventing another sewing machine or lawn mower,” Bastian said. “This
is leading-edge technology. I had to do a
very thorough patent search worldwide to
make sure there is nothing like this. There
is not.”
So far, the Bastian True Rotary Hydrogen Engine is patent pending in the United

States, and Bastian has applied for other
patents in Canada in China. He hopes to
apply for more as funds become available.
Raising capital and finding the time to

WOLCOTT - For Pat and Sarah Lerch,
running their small business is all about staying with local suppliers and providing individual service.
Launching Ridge Way Meat Market, Inc.
in late January, the father-daughter duo uses
vendors such as Byrne Dairy, Helluva Good
Cheese, Zweigle’s, Davis Brothers meat products and Finger Lakes Roaster’s coffee products.
“I’m trying to keep it in the area,” Pat Lerch
said.
Beyond the twelve-foot, full-service meat
counter, the market sells grocery items re-
lated to meat such as marinades, sauces, bread,
chips, soft drinks, bottled water, coffee products, dairy items, pasta and tea.
Some of those items, however, are not
made locally, or else are impossible to find
locally, such as an assortment of spices from
Texas.
Pat said that the market offers the only fullservice meat counter and also the only coffee bar in the county. He hopes to eventually
offer deli sandwiches to go and possibly a
bistro-type of eatery that would tie in the
coffee products, which range from regular
Development in Ontario
In 2006, at least one industrial property
is expected to be completed at the corner
of Lincoln Road and Route 104 with the
arrival of the Tractor Supply Company.
Collins said plans for the construction of
Tractor Supply Co. will be presented at the
Planning Board for final approval in February. The addition of Tractor Supply would
add just under 24,000 square feet of space.
Three hundred and eleven building permits were issued in 2005 at a cost of
$14,000,000, including permits for pools,
decks, and structural additions. One hundred and eleven of those permits were for
additions to homes.
Assessor Eileen Perkins said when a new
home is completed, a value is placed on the
home as of March 1— a figure that is based
on the market value.
Perkins said the more new lots that are
added to Ontario will increase its value;
however this is offset when old lots are
combined or removed to make room for
other projects.
From page 4B
As compared to preliminary data released by the New York State Association
of Realtors, sales of existing single-family homes in all of New York surpassed
105,000, establishing a new annual record.
Preliminary data also revealed a median
selling price increase of more than 11 percent in 2005, compared with data collected
from the previous year.
Statewide, the annual sales total for
2005 was 105,139. This surpassed last
year¹s total of 103,142 by 1.9 percent.
Also statewide in 2005, the median selling price for existing single-family homes
in New York increased to $255,000. This
is an 11.4 percent increase from 2004, with
a figure of $229,000.
There was a monthly sales total of 8,707
for December 2005 reported across New

“WARNING!” “DANGER!” “DO NOT TOUCH!”
By Deborah Myers
The biggest difficulty for Electromark
these days is hiring and retaining competent employees.
“Essentially, we’ve experienced a tremendous amount of growth,” Beck said.
“It’s a challenge to meet that growth and
pull from a fairly small labor area.”
Improving benefits to employees and offering educational and training benefits has
helped.
“If the employees have the desire to
grow, they will have the opportunity,” Beck
said.
Harold Rickles founded Electromark in
1970. Among its products, the company
manufactures porcelain signs, bar codes
(made in a clean room facility), and screen
printed signs.
The company is 10CFR50 quality compliant, a requirement for vendors to nuclear
facilities.
The Brady Corporation was founded in
Eau Claire, Wis., in 1914 as W.H. Brady
Co., which was renamed in 1998. It offers
more than 50,000 stock products, plus custom items, including commercial-grade adhesive labels, signs, and other identification products.
The Brady Corporation employs 4,000
worldwide in 22 countries. Net income for
2004 (the most recent figure available) was
$51 million.
Electromark in Wolcott has experienced significant growth in the past two years.
WOLCOTT - You see them every day
but probably never think about where they
come from: safety signs. Electromark produces thousands of such labels, tags, markers, stickers, signs and plates for the purpose of keeping people safe.
The safety label and sign manufacturer
has experienced significant changes over
the past two years. One of the biggest has
been the company’s acquisition by the
Brady Corporation (NYSE: BRC).
“Its changed our marketing model to refocus on our core business, and analyze
that and go directly to our core business:
the utility industry,” said Ed Beck representing Electromark.
The Brady Corporation
(www.bradycorp.com)
purchased Electromark for an undisclosed
sum in February 2005.
“This acquisition has brought us a consolidation of other manufacturing for other
Brady companies,” Beck said. “It will add
more jobs and technology and growth to
the business.”
Another means of growth for Electromark has been expansion fueled by Empire
Zone tax incentives. The company added
28,000 more square feet with the Rickles
Building, named for founder Harold
Rickles. The addition necessitated hiring
more employees.
“The Empire Zone was instrumental in
that,” Beck said.
A year ago, Electromark employed 110;
the company now employs 135 regulars,
plus 30 temporary employees.
Beck declined revealing the company’s
2005 revenue.

“I’m not trying to make a lot of money
through mark-up,” Pat said.
The market employs four part-time, plus
Sarah and Pat full-time.
To get the 6,000 square-foot building
(1,800 of which is retail) ship-shape, the
Lerch partnership invested around $200,000.
Retail sales seems to be in the blood of both
partners.
Originally from the area, Pat started out
in retail at Star Market in Sodus at age 15.
Sarah, too, began in retail in her mid-teens
and managed a Starbucks in Arizona, where
she later attended Long Technical College and
completed a degree in graphic arts and one
in physical therapy.
Although an auto accident sidelined her
from pursuing a career in physical therapy,
Sarah is putting her artistic talents to use in
developing the market’s decor. Light woodwork plays well with fresh green signs and a
contrasting red color scheme.
Sarah also enjoys the public aspect of her
work.
“I like working with people,” she said.
Her dad agrees.
“We specialize in taking care of people,”
he said. “Everything out there is self service,
from gas stations to grocery stores. You take
what they have or you go without. But you
don’t have to take whatever’s in the package.
Here, you can point out what [meat] you want.

customer. They should walk out of here with
what they want and with a smile on their
faces.”
