Identifying poison ivy and Virginia creeper

by Kristina Gabalski

If you have been out there weeding, you’ve probably run into poison ivy … or have you? There are many plants with vining habits, and poison ivy can easily be confused with Virginia creeper.

At first glance, Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) might be easy to confuse with poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). Both are vines that can creep along the ground as well as up trees and other plants. The greatest distinction between the two is the number of leaflets.

Virginia creeper is a native perennial vine that has five leaflets with a toothed edge in consistent form. The vine uses tendrils with adhesive sucker discs allowing it to adhere both to the ground or as it climbs. According to Penn State Extension, Virginia creeper will produce ground cover about one foot high if it grows on the surface. Small, greenish flowers in spring develop into dark blue berries that are similar to grapes (Virginia creeper is in the grape family). Wildlife and birds enjoy the berries for their food value.

You can grow Virginia creeper as a cultivated plant. It is aggressive, so grow it on trellises, arbors, chain link fences, or rock piles where you can manage its spread.

You do NOT want to cultivate poison ivy, which loves to plant itself in disturbed areas as well as along the open edges of wooded areas, fields, thickets, fence rows and trails. Poison ivy is a native perennial with three leaflets and is most often found growing as a vine. Penn State notes that it can appear as a small shrub, a single-stem plant or even a clump of plants. In addition to a different number of leaflets, vining poison ivy clings with visibly hairy, fuzzy, aerial roots. It produces tiny white flowers in late spring and birds safely eat the white berries in the fall. The middle leaflet may be slightly longer than the others. Unlike Virginia creeper, poison ivy leaflets can be highly variable in form. Leaves may appear shiny or dull, hairy or sleek, with smooth, wavy or coarsely-notched edges. New leaf growth in spring can be slightly reddish (this can help to identify it when it is very small and can be hard to see). Mature leaves are larger and dark green. In fall, the leaves turn red, yellow and orange.

The oil in the sap of poison ivy which causes an allergic reaction is called urushiol. Be aware that all parts of the plant – leaves, stems, flowers, fruits and especially the roots (which can be exposed when it is climbing up a tree or other surface) can contain urushiol. It is present in vines before leaves appear in the spring and all parts of the plant remain poisonous even after the plant is dead. It is possible to

pick up the oil from animal fur, tools, clothing, gloves and shoes. Work carefully if you are removing the vine or working where it is growing – or might possibly be growing. Remove outer clothes, shoes and gloves before going back inside and wash clothes in hot water with a strong degreasing laundry detergent. Clean your garden tools with soap and water and 70 percent alcohol.

If you need to remove a large patch of poison ivy, Penn State recommends mechanical or chemical methods of control. Remember to follow label directions when using weed killers. If you try to manually remove, place your gloved-hand inside a heavy-duty plastic bag. Remove the vines and pull the bag over them. Dispose in the trash. Do not compost or burn the vines as the smoke also contains urushiol and can irritate eyes and lungs. Do not use motorized weed trimmers to cut poison ivy as the trimming may spread the oil to your clothing, boots and exposed skin.

When working around vines, remember – “leaves of three – let it be.”

Hilton-Parma Gazebo Band to perform free summer concerts

The Hilton-Parma Gazebo Band, under the direction of Dr. Charles P. Schmidt, will begin its 38th season with a concert on Wednesday, June 14, Flag Day, at Hilton Baptist Church, 50 Lake Avenue, Hilton. The Gazebo Band’s free summer concerts will be held on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. on June 14, June 21, June 28, and July 12. All concerts will be performed at Hilton Baptist Church.

The band plays a wide variety of concert band literature, including traditional marches, light classics, music of Broadway and Hollywood, popular music, and patriotic music. This year the band will play works by Arban, Arlen, Bennette, Bulla, Fillmore, Goldman, Gorb, Grundman, Loesser, Mancini, and Offenbach, among others. The band will also feature solos by Frank Jaeckle, timpani; Bruce Pillman, euphonium; Mary Reazor, trombone; and Rachel Roussel, clarinet.

The Gazebo Band was founded in 1984 and was first directed by Hilton music educator, Gordon Bascom. The original group of approximately a dozen players performed for the Village of Hilton Centennial celebration and a larger group performed for the dedication of Centennial Park.

The current conductor, Dr. Charles Schmidt, is in his fourteenth year of conducting the band. Mary Reazor, the last remaining charter member of the band, serves as the band’s manager, librarian, and lead trombonist.

The Gazebo Band is an all-volunteer organization that relies on donations from the community and individuals. The band is comprised of dedicated musicians from across Monroe County. From its beginning, the band’s purpose has been to give area adult musicians a place to enjoy their musical gifts and to share them with the community.

Spencerport Depot and Canal Museum –17 years and still going strong

The Spencerport Depot and Canal Museum welcomes visitors back for the 2023 season.This will be the museum’s 17th year of operation.The museum is currently open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday. For the most up to date hours, please refer to its website, spencerportmuseum.org.

Over the past few years, the museum has been undertaking an improvement program in order to better meet the needs of its visitors. Funding for these projects was made possible by state and local grants, which totaled just over $32,000. The ongoing assistance and support the museum receives from the Village of Spencerport has been instrumental in assisting with the process.

Museum Director, Simon Devenish stated, “Over winter, we undertook some significant upgrades to the inside of the museum. We will be finishing off the final few improvement projects over the summer.”

Sunnking’s recycling process to be featured in Smithsonian Museum exhibit

Brokport-based Sunnking, a nationally recognized electronics recycling and corporate ITAD company, will be included in the upcoming cellphone exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. The exhibit titled “Cellphone: Unseen Connections” will highlight the evolution of cell phones and their impact on society over the past few decades. The recycler sent hundreds of locally recycled phones to be displayed and will have two employee profiles featured in the exhibit.

“We’re thrilled to contribute to the Smithsonian’s ‘Connected’ exhibit and to share with their guests the importance of responsible electronics disposal,” said Adam Shine, President of Sunnking. “As a company committed to sustainability and e-waste reduction, it’s an incredible honor to have our his-

tory, story, and community be a part of the celebration of this exhibit.”

The cellphone exhibit, which opens to the public on Friday, June 23, spans the entirety of cellphone history, complete with interactive displays, video installations, and other multimedia experiences.

Local employees like Tammy Maxon will be showcased as part of “a diverse group of changemakers who are shaping the cellphones’ present and future.”

Sunnking’s contribution to ‘Connected’ includes involvement in a display on the responsible disposal of electronics and their components. This is especially important, given the e-waste crisis, which has resulted in dangerous consequences when these items are not properly recycled. Sunnking’s display will serve as a reminder of the importance of reducing e-waste and highlight the company’s efforts to provide a responsible and sustainable solution.

The Smithsonian is one of the world’s oldest museums and research institutions, and its National Museum of American History is famed for showcasing America’s most significant innovations, ideas, and cultural artifacts.

The exhibit marks another significant moment for Sunnking as they have long championed sustainable, environmentally responsible recycling. Since 2000, Sunnking has been committed to providing secure, efficient, and environmentally responsible electronics recycling and data destruction services to clients around the United States.

Governor Hochul announces transformation in higher education enrollment

On June 1, Governor Kathy Hochul announced a transformation in how New York State’s public systems of higher education are making it easier for New York high school seniors to attend college. As part of her 2023 State of the State agenda to eliminate barriers to higher education, SUNY and CUNY are reaching out to high school seniors in new ways with personalized letters, enrollment coaching and tutorials, and multiple points of contact to assist with enrolling in college and applying for financial aid.

“Access to quality higher education is an engine for social mobility and we are taking comprehensive steps to ensure that college is affordable and accessible for students from all backgrounds,” Governor Hochul said. “My administration remains committed to removing barriers and easing the pathway to higher education for all high school seniors - lifting up students to build a brighter future for themselves and New York.”

SUNY will be sending a letter to 125,000 graduating New York State students outside of New York City – confirming they have been automatically accepted at their local community college to attend this fall. Sending personalized letters to high school seniors and their parents has been demonstrated to help students make the decision to enroll.

CUNY also announced its plans earlier this month and for the first time this coming fall, CUNY is partnering with the New York City Public Schools

to send 65,000 seniors on pace to graduate personalized letters welcoming them to CUNY. The letters will lay out their college options at CUNY and invite them to submit a CUNY application.

SUNY and CUNY are also helping students with their financial aid questions through tutorials and multiple points of contact. The federal government’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is open for students to apply. In addition, New York State’s Excelsior Scholarship application, which opened on May 23, is available online and accepted through August 31, 2023.

New York State Department of Education Commissioner Betty A. Rosa said, “Eliminating barriers to higher education and creating an equitable playing field are critical to supporting all of New York’s students. The more information that students and families have, the better equipped they are for making the ultimate decisions that put them on their best paths to success.”

SUNY Chancellor John B. King, Jr. said, “There is a place for every New Yorker at SUNY, and we are excited to make college an easy decision because our high school seniors and their parents understand their options. High-demand jobs increasingly require a college education, and thanks to New York’s generous financial aid offerings, SUNY is an extraordinary value proposition.”

Second annual Billy Mason Memorial Scholarship awarded

The Board of Directors of the Billy Mason Memorial Foundation has named Mckenna Hussar as the recipient of a $2,500 scholarship awarded in Billy’s memory. Billy was a well-known Spencerport resident and three-sport star at Spencerport High School from 1969 to 1971. After his untimely death in May of 2021, friends and family established the Foundation in his memory.

The Billy Mason Memorial Scholarship Fund honors Billy’s commitment to athletic excellence, leadership, work ethic and personal integrity, and the Foundation hopes to help young athletes and students fulfill their potential while exhibiting the same characteristics that Billy embodied.

Ms. Chelsea Antosh, mathematics teacher and girls JV soccer coach says, “Throughout Mckenna’s time at Spencerport and my time of knowing her, three distinct words come to mind: focus, grit, and heart. As an extremely goal-oriented person, Mckenna has consistently demonstrated a tremendous work ethic and drive to achieve both her academic and athletic goals.”

Tara Pittman, girls lacrosse varsity coach, says “Mckenna missed her entire lacrosse season last year due to a torn ACL. She was at every game and practice to support her team in a different role. She worked tirelessly in rehab and physical therapy so she could come back this year stronger than ever.”

Mckenna is on high honor roll and a member of the National Honor Society. She signed a letter of intent to play soccer at Utica University where she intends to study physical therapy.

Sweden Town Hall renovation contracts awarded

The Sweden Town Board has awarded contracts for the renovation of the Sweden Town Hall. At the June 6 Town Board meeting, the Town awarded contracts for the interior renovations to: Thompson Builds (general), Concord Electric (electric), Lloyd Mechanical (plumbing), and Lloyd Mechanical (mechanical work). Flooring has been ordered through the New York State contract.

Previously, the Town had awarded bids to RMG Custom Metal for roof replacement and to Lloyd Mechanical for boiler replacement.

Town Hall staff will be moving to the Sweden/ Clarkson Community Center, 4927 Lake Road, at the end of June/beginning of July for a period of two to three months. All regular Town Hall transactions – dog licenses, hunting and fishing licenses, marriage licenses, building permits, notarizations, etc. will be available at the Community Center. All Town Hall departments, with the exception of the court, will be available during normal business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during July and August) at the Community Center. Plans are still underway for the relocation of the Town Court during portions of the renovation.

All Town Board meetings for July, August and September will move to the Community Center; all

Planning Board, ZBA and Conservation Board meetings will be held at the Sweden Town Park Lodge, 4761 Redman Road, during July, August and likely September. Staff phone numbers will remain the same during the renovation – one of the benefits of having voice over internet phones. The Town hopes to have staff back in the Town Hall in September in time for school tax collection.

The interior renovation includes: the construction of handicapped accessible men’s and women’s restrooms; the total demolition and reconstruction of the front, open office areas to include a handicapped accessible counter and security features; update of electrical and IT infrastructure; the correction of code issues; and new carpeting. Asbestos abatement is a major cost factor in the project – more than $100,000 for the abatement alone.

Parking at the Town Hall will be limited at different stages of the project. Not only will contractors have equipment and materials on site, the Town will store some furnishings in pods on site. Those who routinely use the Town Hall parking lot to visit other businesses, should use caution during the next few months.

Decker is Kendall’s first Master Teacher

Kendall Junior/Senior High School (JSHS) technology teacher Jeff Decker is currently enrolled in the NYS Master Teacher Program (NYSMTP). He is the first Kendall Central School District (KCSD) teacher to be selected for this program. Run by the State University of New York (SUNY), the NYSMTP is a professional network of more than 1,400 public school K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teachers throughout the state. Master Teachers share a passion for their own STEM learning and for collaborating with colleagues to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders (https://www.suny.edu/masterteacher/).

Decker is part of the 61% of Master Teachers who teach high school students, and KCSD joins 60% of school districts in NYS that have a Master Teacher on their faculty.

He started his four-year fellowship as a Master Teacher in January. He attends a five-hour session once a month at SUNY Geneseo, where guest speakers present on different STEM topics. The presentations are followed by networking lunches where Decker talks with other technology teachers

to find out what their students are working on.

“I’m really enjoying the monthly sessions,” he said. “At Kendall, there’s only two technology teachers, myself and Jack Keenan, so we feel like we’re on an island. In the NYSMTP, I’m able to branch out as a technology teacher and really learn from my peers in other districts.”

KCSD is part of the Finger Lakes component of NYSMTP, and the territory ranges from Orleans County to the Southern Tier. As part of the fellowship, he receives a yearly stipend to cover travel costs, and he takes part in professional development communities that include visits to other schools to watch their classes in action. Decker must also maintain 50 hours of professional development each year to remain in the program. This includes participating in an online group of technology teachers called “The Heart of STEM.” He meets with them for two hours a week after school. “These teachers are sharing some great ideas for engagement with students,” he said.

Decker began his application for NYSMTP in 2020, but the normal six-month process was stalled during the COVID-19 pandemic. To qualify for the program, he had to be a certified NYS public school K-12 STEM full-time teacher for at least four years and rated as an effective/highly effective teacher on his Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR). He took a specialized exam in his field and submitted several letters of recommendation. The process included a six-hour Zoom interview, where Decker presented to a panel of evaluators on an advanced STEM topic, and participated in a group discussion and question and answer session. A selfproclaimed introvert, he said the lengthy interview was the most nerve-wracking part of the process for him. After completing the application process, he was accepted into the program at the end of 2022.

Kendall students will benefit from the host of new ideas and learning tools Decker plans to bring back to the district. “This program has reinvigorated me after 17 years of working for the district, especially after coming out of the teaching period during the pandemic,” he said. “No one else has participated in the NYSMTP at Kendall, so I hope my involvement motivates others to achieve this, too.”

On The Canals programs in Brockport allow for inclusive recreation

Through the On The Canals program, the Village of Brockport is offering free kayak and cycling excursions on Saturdays and Sundays during June and July. A partnership with Rochester Accessible Adventures allows the Village to augment its fleet of cycles and kayaks with adaptive options for those with disabilities, enabling family members and friends to participate together.

“We are excited to offer the On the Canals program again,” says Marleen Cain, On the Canals Coordi-

“The growth of accessible and inclusive opportunities along the Erie Canalway is exciting to see!” says Anita O’Brien, Executive Director of Rochester Accessible Adventures. “The intentional inclusion of people with disabilities in their On The Canals program is a great example of how the Village of Brockport is helping make a big difference in the lives of local families and individuals, as well as guests from out of town. These kinds of partnerships are great examples of a community working together for good!”

Excursions are open to participants ages 12 and up, and those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. All excursions will start and end at the Welcome Center, 11 Water Street, where there is municipal parking and accessible bathrooms. The excursions are free, but tickets are required to reserve equipment.

Kayaking excursions are offered every weekend, from June 17 through July 23, and last approximately two hours. Standard or adaptive kayaks and accompanying equipment will be provided, and the equipment to be used must be selected when reserving tickets. Kayaks will be launched at the adaptive dock and will travel west through the village and then turn around and return to the adaptive dock. The distance traveled will depend on each participant’s ability and time.

Biking excursions will be offered on June 18, July 1, and July 16 from 1 to 3 p.m. Because of the Main Street Lift Bridge construction and detours, the group may travel west towards Holley or east towards Adams Basin. The determination will be made on the day of the ride. Tickets are only required if either standard or adaptive equipment is needed. Those with their own cycle and helmet are welcome to join the excursion just by signing in at the Welcome Center.

Adaptive equipment is designed for those who need adaptations in order to participate alongside family and friends. In partnership with Rochester Accessible Adventures (rochesteraccessibleadven-

Safety is first and foremost with the RAA staff. I was outfitted with a life vest and using the launch was explained completely by knowledgeable staff.

Byron-Bergen FFA brings agriculture to the Elementary School

Justin Deleo led a cow past the playground and across the Byron-Bergen Elementary School campus as part of the annual Farm Day celebration. Justin and his cow were joined by goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, rabbits, tortoises, horses, more cows, and hundreds of Byron-Bergen Elementary School students. Farm Day was created as a tool to introduce the school community to the agricultural economy surrounding the campus. Despite the rural setting, many Byron-Bergen students do not know a lot about working farms.

“It is important to ensure that elementary students have a general understanding of the domestic animals and plants which surround them in their communities,” said High School Agriculture Teacher and FFA Advisor Jeffrey Parnapy. “Farm Day also creates interest and curiosity in agriculture, which leads to exploring agricultural career choices.”

Justin is President of the Byron-Bergen FFA Chapter and a member of the Genesee County 4-H Dairy Club. “I like teaching people about agriculture,” said Deleo, who emphasized safety. “Everyone has different animals here so it’s important to learn how to be safe. A cow is not like a dog. If you run up to a cow, it might kick you, and you could really get hurt.”

Students moved from tent to tent with excitement. Older students ran with full-grown goats

students delighted in petting ducks and bunnies as pigs snuffled the ground, completely unaware of the interest they generated.

Third grade students Leanna Dietz and Brooklynn Sandow excitedly discussed the pigs who looked like piglets but were full-grown. Fellow third grade students Naomi Allen and Scarlett Smith liked the bunnies the best, and Emily Davidson’s favorite animal was the German Shepard K-9 Officer from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation visiting with handler and Byron-Bergen alumnus Officer Fay Fuerch.

Over by the playground, Cocoa, a Nigerian dwarf goat and her two kids, Sandy and Potato, were also crowd favorites. “We use the goats for milk,” said sixth grader Riley Boland. “One time we made ice cream.” Her family has a hobby farm that includes Lavender Orpington chickens.

Nearby, eighth grade FFA member Michael Holley displayed eggs in different sizes, shapes and colors while younger students guessed what kind of animals might have laid them. “I’m showing the younger kids how the eggs are produced and what we feed the chickens,” said Michael, who oversees letting out and bringing in the chickens daily at his family’s farm.

Michael was eager to participate in Farm Day as was seventh grade student Ava Williams. She let the younger students pet her cow, Lucky. “I have been working with him for the last few weeks and he loves to be

“I think Farm Day is valuable,” said eighth grade FFA member Taylor Lundfelt. “It’s an informative day. It’s a good day for kids to learn.”

While the cows and pigs are the stars of the show, Farm Day is not all

about animals. Students learned the difference between hay and straw, touched and compared different kinds of animal feed, and were given baggies with sunflower seeds in peat moss pellets, ready to be planted at home. “Our students love to come to Farm Day because not only do they recognize the high school kids, but they love to look at the animals and ask questions,” said third grade teacher Colleen Hardenbrook. “It’s a great opportunity for us to get outside and connect with the community.”

Wreaths Across America offers free Flag Day lesson plans for educators

Wreaths Across America (WAA) has added new Flag Day lesson plans to its TEACH Program which provides free access to curriculum and educational resources for all. Flag Day is celebrated June 14 and commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States.

The new lesson plans, which have been designed for all grade levels and learning abilities, have an objective for civic ideals and practices. “An understanding of civic ideals and practices is critical for full participation in society and is an

essential component of education for citizenship,” said Cindy Tatum, WAA Curriculum Developer and Gold Star Mom.

“This theme enables students to learn about the rights and responsibilities of citizens of a democracy, and to appreciate the importance of active citizenship.”

The WAA TEACH Program helps serve professional and amateur educators by acting as a conduit to share established curriculum materials from like-minded partner organizations. Additionally, WAA develops original curriculums (like the new

Flag Day materials) to help educators in their endeavor to provide quality learning experiences for their students.

To learn more or download lesson plans from WAA’s TEACH Program, visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/teach.

This year, National Wreaths Across America Day is Saturday, December 16, 2023. It is a free event and open to all people. For more information on how to volunteer locally or sponsor a wreath
