THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! by Stephen Barbeau Supervisor, Town of LeRoy (585) 768-6190 ext. 231 While we individually con- tinue to deal w/ our own water issues Mother Nature is send- ing our way, water has been the central issue the Town Board has been dealing with- that in the form of water districts. At our last meeting, the board for- mally established Water District #11 to include nine parcels on LeRoy/East Bethany Rd. head- ing northeast from Cole Rd. USDA-Rural Development has awarded a grant of $34,000 for the project and a loan of $89,000. The process of NYS approvals, final engineering, and awarding bids has begun. Simultaneously, we will be dis- solving a water district (#9) that was formed in 2007, but never constructed, on Vallance Rd., from the county line west to (not quite) the Rt. 490 ramp, in order to assist with Genesee Coun- ty’s Phase Two water project. Ultimately, there will be a new county-constructed transmis- sion main along much of Val- lance Rd. that residents, along the main, will have the option of connecting to. Further, we have been petitioned by a number of residents along Parmelee, Oatka Trail, Conlon, and Circular Hill Rds. to explore a new water dis- trict. The board will authorize preliminary engineering studies and we will be hosting an infor- mation meeting for potentially affected residents thereafter in the future. My traditional water district advisory- “The Town Board neither encourages nor discourages the establishment of water districts. We only serve as the facilitator to present data/ information to residents for de- cision-making.” This Fall, I will have the good fortune to travel to Italy with my wife. As some of you know, past trips, escorted by Jim Frascati (Capish!), received some publicity when a number of LeRoyans were able to make a side trip to Asiago, the town where their family roots orig- inate. Upon further research, I have learned many families from LeRoy (mostly the Lime Rock area) can make this claim. As such, with the idea from Jim, I received approval from the Town Board to pursue a “Friendship City” relationship with Asiago, Italy. As we move closer to the date, I will keep you informed (I plan to meet with their government officials). At present, I am under the im- pression that the Rigoni, Stella, Stefani, Kunego, Mancuso, Car- li, Pangrazio, and Costa families originate from this town/area (how many LeRoyans from that one town/area does that make?). If I am in error, or if anyone knows of other LeRoy families who originate from Asiago (re- member, some changed their names when they came to the U.S. in order to better secure employment or had their spell- ings inadvertently changed by immigration officials), please let me know at supervisor@ leroyny.org . I want to be as cor- rect and as inclusive as possible. Finally, this weekend, please remember with a prayer a veteran who has passed away, and please thank a veteran who you see/meet. Hope to see you all at our annual Memorial Day ceremonies and Around Town.
