Sheriff’s deputies have released the name of the man who police say tried to snatch a purse, attempted to car-jack another woman and attacked two men with a bat.

Deputies say the string of events began in Wayne County and ended at St. John Fisher College which is where deputies arrested 26-year-old Michael Mahoney of Fairport.

News10NBC is told it all started in Macedon when police say the suspect stole a woman's purse at Flaherty's restaurant. Police in Wayne County stopped chasing his car last night when he crossed the county line around 9:30 p.m. We are told soon after he crashed his car on 490 right near the St. John Fisher exit. Investigators say the suspect then tried to car-jack a campus employee and two other workers tried to stop the attack with a baseball bat but police say the suspect ended up using the bat on them. Police say Mahoney ran away but they were able to catch him and take him into custody on campus.

On Tuesday, the East Rochester Board of Education was joined by members of the local community for an official ribbon cutting and re-dedication of the Kate Gleason Memorial pool on Tuesday, June 18.

The outdoor pool has been a summertime attraction for ER families since it first opened to the public in 1949.

It was paid for by the Kate Gleason memorial fund, named after one of ER's greatest pioneers of engineering, architecture, and banking.

"I hope this great legacy and gift she brought to all of us will continue for many generations to come," said school board president Kim Jackson.

The pool's new features are a water-powered chair lift and fiberglass stairs to provide extra help for swimmers stepping into the pool.

The adjacent pool house building was also redesigned and renovated for better accessibility and a more effective use of space.

Report: Monroe County most fiscally stressed in NYS

Submitted by WHEC_Web_Staff

Tuesday, June 18th, 2013, 11:20am

The state comptroller's office says Monroe County is listed as the most fiscally stressed local government in New York State.

Two dozen communities in New York have been designated as such through the comptroller's new Fiscal Stress Monitoring System. The list includes eight counties, three cities and 13 towns.

The comptroller judges municipalities by things such as cash on hand, patterns of operating deficits, population trends and tax assessment growth.

The comptroller says he hopes the early warning system will motivate elected leaders and their constituents to become more efficient, more creative and more forward thinking with resources available.
