Today Occupy Rochester will consider leaving its 24-hour a day encampment in Washington Square Park.

A group spokesperson says on Friday night, the camp was destroyed, with tent poles snapped and shelters brought to the ground, while Occupiers had left the scene. Earlier in the week, a small fire broke out.

Now, the group will consider if it's worth staying at the given safety issues and funding considerations. Washington Square Park would still be the main meet-up point for general assembly meetings and other rallies, but the presence would not be 24 hours. 

Meanwhile, a court decision is pending on whether or not the Occupiers have a right to stay in the park at all. 

More than 750 wineries will compete for top honors at an international wine competition held in Rochester this weekend. 

Camp Good Days and Special Times hosts the 12th Annual Finger Lakes International Wine Competition at the Rochester Plaza Hotel this Saturday and Sunday.

More than 3,100 wines have been entered in the competition, with entries coming from 22 countries, 49 states and five Canadian provinces. New York state wineries are strongly represented with 109 wineries  participating.

Each wine is tasted and scored in a blind tasting by a panel of international judges, examined for presence, balance and varietal character. Medals are awarded for unanimous Double Gold, Gold, Silver and Bronze wines.

Rochester police say a driver fled the scene after striking two parked cars at the intersection of Thurston Road and Flanders Street, causing one to flip over.

Officers responded to the scene around 11:15 p.m. last night. They say it appeared that the vehicle sideswiped two parked cars, flipping one onto its side.

One person was sitting in the other vehicle, but did not require hospitalization to treat a minor injury caused by the crash.

Police say the cause of the crash is still under investigation, and no arrests have been made. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
