Submitted by Travis Larner

The Newark Pilots of the newly formed Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League (PGCBL) have inked four players to their roster for the upcoming season. First basemen Robbie Gilles and Randy Villa will join third basemen Matt Vera and Nick Parent for the Pilots' inaugural season, which begins on June 9th on the road against the Watertown Wizards.

Robbie Gilles
Robbie Gilles grew up just south of Newark in the city of Geneva, where he played at DeSales High School. He was named a Finger Lakes West All-Star on five occasions, and in 2007 he hit 18 doubles, the second highest single season total in Section V history. Now a junior at High Point University in North Carolina, he has appeared in 26 games so far this season. He currently has a .507 on-base percentage with a .250 batting average, 12 runs, 11 hits and six RBIs. Gilles' father Robert was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the eighth round of the 1980 MLB Draft.

Randy Villa
Also manning first base for the Pilots will be Randy Villa. Villa is a sophomore at San Joaquin Delta College in California. He has started 28 games, recording a .216 batting average. He also notched 22 hits, 20 RBIs, 14 runs, and eight stolen bases. Villa helped his Delta Mustangs earn the fourth seed in the Northern Regional Championship of the California Community College Athletic Association. Villa is a 
graduate of Pleasant Grove High School.




Matt Vera
Villa's teammate with the Delta Mustangs is third baseman Matt Vera. In his freshman season, Vera has appeared in 16 games, batting .243 with nine hits, six RBIs, and three doubles.  In his senior campaign at Tokay High School, he was named the Tri-City Athletic League MVP, batting .667 with 20 RBIs and three 
home runs inside league play.

Nick Parent
Also at the "hot corner" for Newark this season will    be Nick Parent. Parent is a redshirt freshman at the University of California Santa Barbara. During his senior season at Foothill High School, he drove in 30 runs and hit five homeruns, earning all-league honors. Parent's father Mark is the manager of the Philadelphia Phillies Double-A affiliate Reading Phillies, and played 13 seasons in the MLB after being drafted by the San Diego Padres in the fourth round of the 1979 MLB Draft.

The Newark Pilots open at the newly refurbished Colburn Park on Friday, June 17th at 7:05 p.m. Single game tickets for all 2011 games are on sale now.

Wayne County Supervisors -- Chairman's Report for May 2011

Jim Hoffman
By Jim Hoffman
Chairman, Wayne County Board of Supervisors


   LYONS (May 5 11) – The Federal Housing Finance Agency recently released statistics showing that only three metropolitan areas in the U.S. with populations of at least one million have not had a decline in home values for the last 15 consecutive years. They are Oklahoma City, Pittsburgh and Rochester. Wayne County is within the Rochester metro area. The Rochester metro area experienced only modest gains during the “boom years” of real property values nationwide. Having a more stable real estate market has helped us now to get through the recent recession better than many other communities in the country.
  On April 19, the Board of Supervisors appointed Assistant County Attorney Dan Connors as the new County Attorney replacing Dan Wyner, who retires on June 29.
