Volunteers needed for Canal Clean Sweep

Groups across New York State are preparing for the 18th Canal Clean Sweep, to be held April 21 to 23, 2023. Canal Clean Sweep is an annual clean-up event held across the New York State Canal System and Canalway Trail. With more than 100 events and more than 2,500 volunteers expected along the more than 400-mile-long Canalway Trail system and the 524-mile-long Canal system, Canal Clean Sweep is New York’s largest Earth Day clean-up event. This weekend provides opportunities for thousands of residents to give back to their local communities and to show pride in one of New York’s most iconic cultural and recreational resources.

Clean Sweep is scheduled to coincide with the annual Earth Day celebrations on Saturday, April 22. Canal Clean Sweep will be one of a number of events held around the state to recognize the ongoing commitment to improving the health of our natural environment, in addition to being part of a nationwide celebration to encourage people to get outside and enjoy our trails and trail systems.

The 2023 Canal Clean Sweep will take place following a full year of trail use since the completion and opening of the Empire State Trail, a 750-mile multi-use

path spanning the state from Manhattan north to the Adirondacks and west along the historic Erie Canal corridor to Buffalo. Over the last few years, the Canalway Trail system has seen unprecedented use, reflecting significant investments made as part of the completion of the Empire State Trail, and increased interest and participation in outdoor recreational activities due to COVID-19. Through the efforts of volunteers across the state during Canal Clean Sweep 2023, communities will ensure the Canalway Trail system will remain a pristine recreational resource for locals and visitors alike.

To register, click on a pin on the interactive map by visiting www.ptny.org/canalsweep to sign up for the event you would like to attend. Make sure to note the date and time as most events occur the weekend of April 21 to 23, but some clean-ups might be earlier or later. please keep in mind that volunteers can only register for public events through the interactive map. Those that are attending a private event should contact the host directly.

Canal Clean Sweep 2023 is organized by the non-profit parks & Trails New York, in partnership with the New York State Canal Corporation. provided information

Police determine threats made against Hilton CSD were hoaxes

Police have determined that the anonymous email bomb threats made to the Hilton Central School District on March 22 and 24 were hoaxes that pose no threat to the community.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and Greece Police Department responded to and have been investigating both incidents with the assistance of federal law enforcement partners. The threats came from a Russian email account and stated that bombs had been placed in all district schools. No bombs or suspicious materials were found following either threat. Investigators confirmed that a handful of other communities across the country received somewhat similar email threats.

A joint statement issued by MCSO and Greece PD on March 26 said, “The common trait amongst these emails is the use of overseas email addresses and routing the messages through overseas servers, all to conceal their identity. In each of these independent investigations, no credible threat has been identified. We have not found any links between these emails and local individuals wishing harm on the school. This has clearly been a hoax meant to cause panic and disruption in our school community.”

The school district has implemented additional security measures that police say go “above and beyond what is expected for this situation” to ease concerns so students and staff feel safe returning to school.

Superintendent Casey Kosiorek said a contract has been secured for additional professional security presence outside normal school hours. During school hours, buildings will have one point of entry with security staff to provide access until evening activities are done at each school.

“We are not naive to think these emails will suddenly end, and should they continue, we will investigate them,” police stated.

The threats have indeed continued, with another being received on Monday, March 27, but the school day went on as scheduled in large part due to the additional security measures the district put in place.

“Since these emails lack all credibility, we fully support the district’s authority to not allow these threats to disrupt the education our students deserve,” police stated. “Should additional legitimate information come forward, we will respond accordingly and take all necessary precautions.”

Kosiorek said that plans have been solidified for staff and students in case there is a need to evacuate in the future. If necessary, off-site locations have been secured by the Director of Transportation.

Upcoming crossover traffic pattern along Rt. 390 in Gates and Greece

The New York State Department of Transportation is advising motorists to expect a crossover traffic design beginning Wednesday, April 5, to accommodate construction activities along State Route 390 near Lexington Avenue and Ridgeway Avenue in the towns of Gates and Greece. The crossover traffic pattern, which will be in place through this construction season, will be implemented as follows:

•Southbound traffic along State Route 390 will crossover before Latona Road and return to the southbound lanes after Weiland Road. Southbound traffic will again crossover before Lexington Avenue and return to the southbound lanes after Lexington Avenue.

•Northbound traffic will not crossover but will be reduced to two-lanes of traffic within the project limits.

As part of installing the crossover traffic pattern, nighttime lane closures will be necessary the nights of Monday, April 3, and Tuesday, April

4. Motorists traveling through this stretch of State Route 390 during these nighttime hours should anticipate encountering crews and slow down in the work zone.

This work is necessary to accommodate construction activities for NYSDOT’s previously-announced $18 million bridge rehabilitation project that began last year.

For real-time travel information, motorists should call 511 or visit www.511NY.org or the mobile site at m.511ny.org, New York State’s official traffic and travel information source.

Grieving people often wonder if they would benefit from joining a support group. For many, the answer is yes. Support groups are a time-tested method of help for people struggling with all sorts of difficulties.

Grief is experienced in so many ways – physical, emotional, and spiritual. One needs a place to recognize that these reactions are part of the journey of grief. Being with other grieving people can reaffirm that one is not going crazy. While every loss is unique, through support groups one can bask in the support of others who have experienced loss and understand.

For many people, a support group can be a break from the loneliness and boredom that often come with grief. There is no single solution to dealing with loss, but members of a support group can offer a range of alternatives. By listening to stories of how others cope with a particular problem, one can find the solution that might work best.

Support groups offer two other gifts. They provide hope by providing models that reaffirm that one can survive loss. Participating in a support group can also help the griever find new empathy, new understandings, and renewed strengths.

Daniel Sulimowicz

AREA – Daniel Sulimowicz of Rochester, formerly of Spencerport, died March 15, 2023. Dan was born October 24, 1970, in Brockport, and lived his entire life with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, confined to a wheelchair.

At an early age, Dan endeared himself to just about anyone who met him. He met local legendary newscaster, Don Alhart during a telethon back in the 1970’s, and to hear Don tell it, Danny took over the show. As he grew older Danny fell in love with sports – all sports – including baseball, football, basketball and hockey. Locally, he went to Red Wings and Amerks games. Everyone at the stadium knew who Danny was. Danny lived a rich full life, experiencing more in his shortened life than most of us. He visited Hawaii. He traveled to NYC to see his Yankees play, and he was even able to visit the locker room. He went to many Buffalo Bills game. His only regret was not seeing his Bills win the Super Bowl.

Dan was a special person. What made Dan special is that despite having the incredible physical burden of his disorder, he never complained or felt sorry for himself. He was upbeat and positive. He knew he had physical limitations, but did not let them limit his life and was positive despite those physical limitations. He was also incredibly smart. To know Dan was to love Dan. Dan was a force of nature. He lived life! In the example he set, and in the friendships he made, he improved many lives.

His Funeral Service was held March 24 at Miller Funeral and Cremation Services, Rochester. His Graveside Service was held March 25 at St. Cecilia Cemetery, Oakfield, NY. Donations can be made Special Olympics New York in his memory.

Westside Challenger Baseball: A league of their own

Westside Challenger Baseball will enter its twelfth season this year. It is for all area youngsters in Western Monroe, Orleans, and Genesee counties who have physical and/or developmental disabilities and would like to experience baseball that is structured to their needs. Children ages five through 20 will participate in a fun, family atmosphere, and there will be coaches and “buddies” to assist them when needed.

The 2022 season saw a record number of 65 players participate.

Thanks to generous sponsorship from area businesses, service organizations, and private donations, there is no cost to any family to have their child play. Players will receive a hat and jersey, trophies at the end-of-season family picnic, food and drink after each game, a free photo of each player, and free tickets for players and their families to attend a Rochester Red Wing game.

The fundamental goal of Challenger Baseball is to give everyone a chance to play. To realize that goal, Challenger Baseball has two basic rules: every player bats each inning, and every player plays the field. They don’t count strikes, and they don’t count outs. Everybody scores, and everybody wins. Challenger Baseball participants learn not only the fundamentals of baseball but also experience pulling together as a team, being cheered on by a crowd, and being encouraged by their peers.

All games are played on Saturdays at Nietopski Field in the Town of Sweden Park on Redman Road, Brockport. Games begin June 3 with ages five to 13 playing at 9:15 a.m. and ages 14 and up at 10:30 a.m. Westside Challenger Baseball participants will also play on June 10 at the Challenger Baseball World Series at Innovative Field (formerly Frontier Field), the home field for the Rochester Red Wings.

The registration deadline is April 21. Registration forms can be obtained by contacting Mike Myers at 469-0485 or emailing msmyers211@frontiernet.net. Westside Challenger Baseball organizers look forward to an exciting and fun-filled season in which all youngsters have a positive baseball experience. Provided information

CCE Monroe offering Mushroom Inoculation Class

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County is offering a Mushroom Inoculation Class aimed at farmers who are considering commercial mushroom growing, hobby farmers and landowners who are interested in growing mushrooms for their own consumption.

The workshop will take place on Friday, April 14, at Cornell Extension of Monroe County, 2449 St. Paul Boulevard, Rochester, from 4 to 6 p.m.

Fungi produce millions of microscopic spores in the gills underneath the cap. In a natural setting, the spores spread by different means such as the wind or feeding animals. After landing on a suitable substrate – wood or soil, they germinate and form a long network of microscopic rooting threads (mycelium) that persists, often for many years, extracting nutrients and sending up its annual crop of mushrooms.

But many types of edible mushrooms can be grown safely and easily, right at home. Whether you are interested in growing mushrooms as a hobby or have contemplated commercial production, this workshop will provide the information needed before getting started.

The workshop will have an indoor classroom session to introduce participants to growing methods utilized to grow shiitake, oyster, lions mane, nameko, chestnut, and stropharia mushrooms. aintenance, suppliers, and resources will also be discussed.

Following a classroom session, a presentation on outdoor home-grown mushroom cultivation techniques and log maintenance and a hands-on portion will demonstrate inoculation techniques. We will inoculate logs with mycelium that will produce gourmet Shiitake mushrooms for years. All participants get to inoculate and take home their own log that will grow shiitake mushrooms.

All materials will be provided but this project can get messy, so dress accordingly. Cost is $45 per person; prepaid registration is required. Class size is limited to 30 participants. Register early at https:// reg.cce.cornell.edu/mushroominoculation_226 as the class tends to fill quickly.

For more details go https://monroe.cce.cornell. edu/events/2023/04/14/mushroom-inoculation-class or contact Jarmila Haseler, Agriculture Program Educatore, CCE of Monroe County at jh954@cornell. edu or 585-753-2565.

These three senior kitties have been in foster care for a year and a half and are desperately looking for their forever homes!

Cookie - white/gray tabby male. So very sweet and gentle; just needs his trust to be gained! It will take him some time to come around, but once he does, he’ll become very vocal with you. Loves chin scritches and head rubs (usually when he gets his wet food). His big, precious eyes will melt your heart! Has a really gentle and sweet meow that he uses whenever the wet food comes out. Ok around calm dogs. Has had bladder issues in the past and got a “roto-rooter” procedure years ago. Neutered but not updated on vaccines. Brody - orange tabby male. About 13 years old. Used to be feral but has made a lot of progress! Isn’t big on pets but will let you get pretty close! He’s still very gentle and has never hissed or swatted or anything, just scurries away. Really just likes to chill in a cat tree and take naps. Would probably have to be an only pet to really come around, but still good around other animals. Neutered but not up to date on vaccines. Sissy - brown/orange tabby female. About 12.5 years old now. Loves head scritches and belly rubs. Definitely craves attention but on her own time. Will rub up against your legs and will stretch on her back legs to get head rubs. Has a funny obsession with slippers. Low maintainance and doesn’t require much other than some brushing of her coat in the warmer months. Spayed but not updated on vaccines. Good with dogs and other cats but may need time to warm up to them. It’ll take her a few days to come out of her shell, but once she does, she’ll snuggle right up to you and become your best friend!

If interested in giving any of these senior babies a forever home, please contact Kiri at 585-698-9951

Add color with primroses

by Kristina Gabalski

but not soggy, soil. Do not overwater, as it can lead to root rot. The flower clusters can last for weeks. When they are spent, remove them along with the spent leaves.

Before transplanting outside, acclimate your cottage primrose to outside conditions. For several days, move the plant outside during the day and bring it back inside at night, especially if temperatures drop below freezing.

The New York Botanical Garden recommends planting primroses in partial shade as they prefer climates with cool summers. Again, they like moist, but not soggy, conditions. Keep them out of windy spots that can dry out quickly. Loamy soil is best, but mulching with shredded leaves will help add humus (organic matter) to the soil. You can lightly fertilize them after they are planted. Space them four to six inches apart. If they are happy with the conditions, they may spread and can reseed themselves. enn State says other hardy primrose plants include Primula vulgaris, P. japoni, and P. sieboldii Primula vulgaris, also known as English or common primrose, is semi-evergreen and long-lived. It produced pale yellow flowers in a cluster on six-inch stems in April.

Japanese or candelabra primrose (Primula japonica) loves damp areas in partial shade. Flowers are pink, dark rose, or white and are borne on 12- to 18-inch spikes from May through June. Also native to Asia, the cherry blossom primrose (Primula sieboldii) has 12-inch flower stalks that bloom in mid-May. Bloom colors are cherry red, white, lavender, or pink. The green leaves are ruffled and have toothed margins. In summer, these plants go dormant. Combine primroses with spring-blooming bulbs for an even more colorful show.

Primroses are a colorful addition both inside and outside during the spring. Photo by Kristina Gabalski.
