GTC announces draft recommendations for transporation plan Virtual Public Meetings set for February 23 and March 2 The Genesee Transportation Council (GTC), the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the GeneseeFinger Lakes Region, is seeking public feedback on 78 specific recommendations in five categories as part of developing the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) 2045. The purpose of the Plan is to establish transportation priorities and strategic direction for the nine-county Genesee-Finger Lakes region. Federal, state, and local governments will use LRTP 2045 to guide transportation investment decision making in the region over the next 25 years. The draft recommendations are a result of an assessment of the current transportation system, emerging issues and opportunities, and the input received from the public gathered during the summer of 2020 about existing needs and conditions. Each recommendation falls into one of the following key themes - Health and Safety, Access and Equity, System Management and Maintenance, Sustainability and Resilience, and Economic Development. Individuals may access a list of the draft recommendations and submit comments online by visiting www.publicinput.com/LongRangeTransportationPlan. If unable to access via the internet, individuals can call the GTC office at 232-6240 to make other arrangements to view the draft recommendations. GTC will host two online public information meetings to discuss the recommendations. The first session will be Tuesday, February 23, from 1 to 2 p.m. The second session will be Tuesday, March 2, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Both sessions will be recorded and available for later viewing. People can access the meeting online with a computer or mobile device by visiting www.publicinput.com/ LongRange-TransportationPlan or by phone to listen to the audio portion by calling toll-free to 855-925-2801 and entering code 7998. Callers should follow the prompts to leave a voice mail message or to join the speaker queue to talk with the project managers in real time. People can participate in this public review by •Calling a toll-free phone number to leave a general voice message in any language at any time. The phone number is 855-925-2801, code: 7998 •Texting 2045 to 73224 to launch a text-based survey about the recommendations. •Sending email to LongRangeTransportationPlan@ publicinput.com •Sending a letter to Genesee Transportation Council, 50 West Main Street, Suite 8112, Rochester, NY 14614. GTC will provide accommodations for anybody who wishes to participate in this opportunity despite disability or proficiency in English. Contact GTC at 232-6240 or email contactgtc@gtcmpo.org to arrange for auxiliary aids or language services. The public review period will extend through March 12, 2021. After finalizing the recommendations based on public comments, a full Draft LRTP 2045 will be presented to the GTC Planning Committee in April for consideration to release for a formal 30-day public review period. After the 30-day public review period, the Planning Committee will make a recommendation to the GTC Board regarding adoption of LRTP 2045 at its June 10, 2021 meeting.

Macpherson receives inaugural Greater Brockport CommUNITY Award Dr. Heidi Macpherson, President of SUNY Brockport, was chosen as the first-ever recipient of the Greater Brockport CommUNITY Award. The award was given to Dr. Macpherson during the Brockport Village Board meeting on February 1. The Greater Brockport CommUNITY Award was established by the village board in 2019 at the recommendation of Dr. William G. Andrews, who also provided funding for the $500 cash prize and a commemorative plaque. A nomination review committee comprised of appointees from the Village of Brockport and the Towns of Clarkson, Hamlin, and Sweden forwarded their recommendation, upon reviewing community nominations, to the Village of Brockport Board of Trustees. Their recommendation letter follows.
2020 Greater Brockport CommUNITY Award The selection committee is wholeheartedly in favor of endorsing Dr. Heidi Macpherson for the inaugural Greater Brockport CommUNITY Award. Allan Berry nominated Dr. Macpherson and noted that not only has she participated in numerous local activities, she recognizes our close association and engages with the greater Rochester community as well. Interim Brockport Central School District Superintendent, James Fallon, supported this nomination because Dr. Macpherson has always advocated for the Brockport School District by finding creative ways to collaborate with the college. In particular, she has opened up the college admission process during the COVID-19 pandemic. A strong advocate for Dr. Macpherson’s nomination was Mike Andriatch, Vice President for Advancement at Brockport College. He has witnessed this college president become an entrenched member of our community since her arrival in July 2015. In Mr. Andriatch’s lengthy letter, we came to learn of Heidi’s past and recent achievements such as: •Ensuring that Community Engagement is one of the four college strategic plan goals •Co-chairing the Town-Gown Committee along with Mayor Blackman •Actively volunteering with the Western Monroe Historical Society •Encouraging a stronger role for the college in the Holiday Parade •Participating in reading programs at the Seymour Library and Brockport Central •Creating the highly successful Brockport Community Breakfast, which annually hosts local business and community leaders •Sitting on four boards of large community organizations (YWCA, United Way, Willow Domestic Violence Center, Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce)
Dr. Heidi Macpherson. Provided photo •President of Rochester Area Colleges President’s Network •Winner of 2020 ATHENA International Award •Winner of 2018 Teddi Award from Camp Good Days and Special Times The list continues as Mr. Andriatch also mentions that a colleague shared that Heidi is a “facilitator of creative thought” and that Mayor Margay Blackman spoke about Heidi’s genuine friendliness and engagement with the community that is evident in many little actions as well. Fifty-year Town of Sweden residents Richard and Joan Fenton penned a support letter listing many of the same community-minded actions. They have interacted with the past five college presidents, and they feel Dr. Macpherson has been the one who was most committed to bringing the college and community together. They believe Heidi has displayed “significant new ways to strengthen the bonds of community” while still doing all the things a college president must do on campus. Congratulations go to Dr. Heidi Macpherson, and thank you to Dr. William Andrews for creating and funding this CommUNITY award.

Brockport plans to upgrade interpretive materials with IMPACT! grant funds The Village of Brockport is one of 13 non-profit organizations and municipalities that will receive Erie Canalway IMPACT! Grants in 2021 totaling $108,787. The grants advance work to preserve and showcase canal heritage, educate youth, and welcome people to explore the canal in their local communities. Brockport is receiving a grant of $4,830 to refurbish or create interpretive materials to better share the story of the Erie Canal - a vital part of the village’s past, present, and future - with residents and visitors. Interpretive materials to be upgraded include the following: •Two damaged interpretive panels along the Erie Canal will be replaced. One on the north bank highlights the opening of the canal’s Brockport to Buffalo section in October 1825. The other, on the south side of the canal at the Village’s Welcome Center, depicts Brockport’s history of manufacturing.
•Interpretive cards explaining the Erie Canal-themed mural, taken from a colorful illustration from Peter Spier’s children’s book, The Erie Canal, located above the Lift Bridge Book Shop at 45 Main Street. •Phebe the Mule will be replaced, as time and weather have damaged the statue; signage explaining the meaning of the sculpture and its significance will be added. •Updated color brochures for the Brockport Community Museum’s interpretive panel walking tour of the Village. •Archival quality display case for the Morgan Manning House, to display and conserve Manning family artifacts related to their canal manufacturing business, which was nestled on the banks of the Erie Canal and is now the site of Harvester Park. IMPACT! Grants are made possible with funding support provided by the National Park Service and the NYS Canal Corporation. Provided information
Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair; Perhaps you sent flowers or a lovely meal; Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friend could say. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much whatever the part. Special thanks to all our family and friends that supported us during our son, Jeff Nellis’ illness. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you. Frank and Patricia Long
Discovering the real meaning of beekeeping by Richard Satterlee On January 20, when the temperature warmed up to a balmy 35 degrees after a long week in the mid-20s, I worked my way through the foot and a half of snow to check my two beehives. My plan was to place a candy board on one of the hives, and if successful, I would place another candy Richard Satterlee board on my second hive later. There they stood, stately and so nicely wrapped in a newly purchased black foam. I left a full super of honey from last fall for a winter such as this. I stood there in the silence of the morning, wondering if I had done everything right for them. I had this dreadful feeling that they were dead. I placed my ear to listen on the side of the brood box for any sounds. Nothing, nada! Immediate thoughts of, “I failed at beekeeping again? Lost another hive because of my carelessness. Why didn’t I treat them for mites earlier in the fall? Did I properly ventilate the hive? They were strong going into last fall!” I brushed off the snow, thinking I really did not need the veil I just placed over my head, and slowly opened up the hive. I have lost two hives in my few years of beekeeping, so, here we go again, I thought. I pried open the top cover with my hive tool, then the inner cover to expose an insulation box I had made in the fall – still no signs of life. Expecting the worst, I slowly lifted the insulation box. There they were, alive, buzzing, actively moving, all in one big cluster! I just wanted to stand there and relish the moment. My bees did not seem to take it the same way. I had just torn off an insulated roof from their 90-degree home. Their obvious anger brought me back to reality. Those few seconds of joy were immediately swallowed up by getting my act together to protect my bees. I carefully placed the candy board over the super and closed it up. I tried not to appear too anxious or nervous. I have learned that your emotions will transfer to the bees. Placing the top cover, the inner cover, and the insulated box, I stepped back, checked the outside weather wrapping, and looked at my work. I said to myself, “Man, this beekeeping stuff is easy!” I first thought of beekeeping five years ago to this month, though I can’t remember why I decided to go into it. The sweet, pure, naturally-grown honey was a definite attraction, and the farming aspect of raising and caring for your own living crop (small in individual size but huge in population) was exciting. I was a science teacher, and the science of beekeeping proved incredible. I had a woodshop and could save money by making my own Langstroth hives. Besides, I thought saving the bees from all these things,
such as mites and pesticides that kill our critical pollinators, would save our planet from losing its fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and flowers. Beekeeping has its moments of anticipation, anxious worry, and fear of doing the wrong thing, yet the enjoyment of caring for these little insects that will sometimes show an attitude but will give you the gift of the most wonderful natural food that has been recorded since Biblical days. It has been a steep learning curve, but one that has challenged and supported my recently retired life. I can sum up my feelings by remembering an interaction between myself and a new visitor at a Rochester Bee Association meeting. This was, of course, during pre-COVID days. The visitor leaned over during a pause in the presentation on winterizing your hives and asked, “Do you think I should get into beekeeping?” I immediately thought that the guy on my right has over 200 hives and has been in the business his whole life, why don’t you ask him? I didn’t, of course. I looked her in the eyes and said, “You know, when it is all said and done, beekeeping is one of the most amazing, rewarding, and joyful hobbies to have. You are going to love it!” Those interested in beekeeping in the Rochester area can visit www.rochesterbeekeepers.com for information. Provided photos

Hilton High School Drama Club to stream production of Game of Tiaras Support Hilton High School’s performing arts program by joining online to watch playwright Don Zolidis’ special stayat-home edition of Game of Tiaras. Twenty-five students in the cast and crew have been rehearsing online since December 2020 in preparation for Hilton’s first full-length streaming production. When the aging king of a Magical Kingdom decides to split his empire between his three daughters, Cinderella, Belle, and the Snow Queen, terrible tragedy ensues - terrible, hilarious tragedy. Combining the gut-wrenching plot twists of Game of Thrones, characters from some of Disney’s most iconic princess movies, and the soul-numbing despair of Shakespearean tragedy, this adaptation of
King Lear will leave viewers dying with laughter as the body count mounts. When you play the Game of Tiaras, you win or you die. Performances of Hilton High School Drama Club’s streaming production of Game of Tiaras are on Friday, February 26 at 7 p.m., Saturday, February 27 at 2 and 7 p.m., and Sunday, February 28 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for one viewer, $40 for family or group viewing, and can be purchased at showtix4u.com. A service fee will be added to the transaction. Once the purchase is complete, attendees will receive a stream access code to view the show online.

Local family advocates for alternative COVID treatment to save their mother’s life by Tami Raco Glenna Sue Dickinson, 65, of Albion, first contracted COVID-19 on January 7. According to her sister, Gloria Reis, of Hamlin, her condition deteriorated, and on January 12, she was taken by ambulance to Rochester General Hospital. Glenna Sue was admitted to the ICU due to the respiratory issues she was experiencing from the COVID infection. Even after she was admitted, she continued to decline. On January 17, doctors put her on a ventilator. According to the family’s attorney, Jon Minear, “Glenna’s lungs were not expelling carbon dioxide, causing toxicity in her body.” The hospital told the family that they had exhausted all available treatment options, and sadly Glenna Sue’s chances for survival were bleak. Glenna’s daughter, Natalie Kingdollar, received a news story, which ran in a Buffalo newspaper, about an alternative COVID treatment used on an 80-year-old Cheektowaga woman in life-threatening condition. Judith Smentkiewicz was also on a ventilator and given a 20 percent chance of survival. With the help of a lawyer, her family received a court order compelling the hospital to treat Smentkiewicz with Ivermectin, which is not FDA approved to treat COVID. Within 48 hours of the first dose, she was off the ventilator and out of the ICU. She has since recovered and been released from the hospital. After reading this story, Natalie asked RGH to use the Ivermectin treatment on her mom, but it was denied due to it being a non-FDA-approved COVID treatment. Ivermectin is a drug that was discovered in 1975 and went into medical use in 1981. It is an anti-parasitic drug that has been used to treat hundreds of millions of people worldwide for head lice, skin rashes, rosacea, and parasitic worms. It has also been used for the past 40 years in veterinary medicine. Elderwood Nursing Home in Amherst, one of the busiest COVID-19 treatment facilities in western NY, has been using Ivermectin to treat some of its COVID patients. They have treated 90 patients with Ivermectin, and 80 of them have survived. The National Institute of Health initially recommended against the use of Ivermectin as a COVID treatment but changed its position on January 14 of this year. NIH says it no longer advises for or against using Ivermectin and that doctors and patients should make their own decisions. Glenna’s primary physician, Dr. Tom Madejski, former president of the NYS Medical Society, has experience treating some of his COVID patients with Ivermectin. He prescribed the drug for Glenna Sue when the family reached out to him. Because the hospital did not carry the pharmaceutical, the family had the inexpensive prescription filled at a Walgreens near the hospital. “The cost for prescription was only 83 cents per pill,” said Minear. On January 19, the family delivered the prescription to the hospital’s security department with instruction that it be delivered and administered to Glenna as prescribed by Dr. Madejski. According to Minear, “RGH misplaced the medication.” Due to the dire urgency of time with Glenna’s condition, the family quickly hired Minear’s firm, The Law Office of Ralph C. Lorigo, to ensure Glenna Sue would re-

Minear said, “We immediately filed a court order requiring RGH to administer the Ivermectin to Glenna. Judge Caruso then directed Rochester General Hospital to comply with Madejski’s prescription of Ivermectin for Glenna Sue Dickinson.” Twelve hours after the first dosage of Ivermectin, Glenna’s condition improved, her vitals stabilized, and her ventilator was reduced by 50 percent. When Glenna was due for her next dose a few days later, another mishap occurred with the prescription. “Further court orders were filed compelling the hospital to follow Dr. Madejski’s orders and administer as well as properly store the remaining doses of Ivermectin,” Minear said. “Judge Caruso approved the order, and the paperwork was filed on a Saturday.” Since it was a weekend, the law clerk personally drove the documents to the judge’s home, where he reviewed and signed them. “To have all of this come together on a Saturday is something; I have never seen this happen before!” The family, attorney, and judge all responded promptly to help get Glenna the treatment with the hopes of saving her life. After she took the full course of medication, Glenna’s condition improved. Her oxygen levels and kidney function showed improvements, and she was weaned off a paralytic. “The real heroes are Glenna’s daughter, Natalie, and Judge Caruso,” said Minear. Glenna Sue remained in critical condition but was finally stable. Despite the immediate improvement from the Ivermectin treatment, Glenna faced another medical hurdle. Although the COVID infection was gone, her condition
took a turn for the worse with an antibiotic-resistant blood infection that likely began as a UTI. After Glenna Sue was hospitalized, a prayer page was set up on Facebook (Prayers for Sue Dickinson) to harness the power of prayer and faith to help Glenna recover, as well as communicate updates on her condition. Family, friends, and community members showed up daily with an outpouring of support and prayer for Glenna Sue on the Facebook page. On Saturday, February 6, Natalie was granted visiting privileges to see her mom for what she feared might be the last time due to the life-threatening infection that was ravaging Glenna Sue’s body. Natalie went in thinking it might be a goodbye but instead witnessed a miracle. When Natalie spoke to her mom, she became responsive. This was the first sign to indicate she could be pulling out of this near-fatal infection. That visit began Glenna Sue’s slow but steady recovery from what most medical experts believed was impossible. Her body began to respond to the antibiotics and fight the infection. As of last weekend, Glenna had been taken out of the ICU into a Step-Down Unit, was being weaned off medications, and beginning rehab to remove the tracheotomy. Glenna Sue has a long road ahead of her. But the chance for recovery, no doubt, was made possible by her loving family who never stopped fighting for her, all the prayer warriors, the medical professionals, as well as the directives of the legal team that helped get Glenna Sue the Ivermectin treatment. “It is so important that families don’t stop advocating for their loved ones. It could save their life. I am so glad to be part of this movement,” said Minear. For more information on Glenna Sue’s condition, visit her prayer page on Facebook. A GoFundMe account has been established to help with her medical and legal expenses. To contribute, visit https://gofund.me/22105c58.

In Memory Of Timothy Zigarowicz It is with heavy hearts we share that on February 6, AIA Rochester member Timothy Zigarowicz, AIA, Principal at SWBR, passed away unexpectedly. Tim, a dedicated and thoughtful leader, was well-respected by his clients, colleagues, and the Rochester architectural community; he will be greatly missed.

He was a trusted and selfless mentor who was committed to helping his teammates learn and grow. It was this dedication, along with his friendly and caring personality, that contributed to our success, both as a firm and to every individual around him. His loss will be felt deeply by all who knew him personally and professionally. “We lost our friend, teammate, and mentor,” said SWBR President Tom Gears. “We will move forward having become stronger and smarter because of him. And we’ll do our best to do things the way Tim would have done them. The right way.” During his 20+ year career, Tim built a reputation as an expert in affordable and supportive housing design, managing several high-profile housing clients across New York State. Among his impressive design portfolio are several notable projects including the Golisano Autism Center in Rochester, Long Pond Senior Housing in Greece, Frances Apartments in Sweden, The Gardens at Penfield Square in Penfield, Holy Rosary Apartments in Rochester, and Evergreen Lofts in Buffalo.

Donation drive to support Community Hygiene Bank The Community Hygiene Bank and County Legislator Jackie Smith are holding a donation drive to prepare for upcoming Community Hygiene Bank distributions. The next distribution will be held on Saturday, March 13, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Concordia Lutheran Church parking lot, 6601 Fourth Section Road, Brockport (across from Wegmans). A hygiene bank is similar to a food bank, but instead of food, people in need can receive personal hygiene items, paper products, and cleaning items. A group of volunteers headed up by Scarlett Aeckerle established this first “bank” of its type in March 2017, serving 11 families. It now serves approximately 120 families at each distribution.

half of the customers who attend these distributions are seniors on fixed incomes who don’t have enough money to pay for these essential health care needs. Like so many other families, they often don’t have enough money to pay for competing daily demands of food, housing, utilities, and medications. The Community Hygiene Bank serves families and individuals in need of all ages, from children to seniors, who live in the Brockport Central School district as well as SUNY Brockport students. Since the beginning of COVID, many first-time families have attended distributions, those who have recently become unemployed or underemployed. The Community Hygiene Bank also runs two additional outreach programs; one to help provide BCSD students in grades K-12 with needed hygiene items and a second to provide rural farmworkers with personal hygiene kits. County Legislator Jackie Smith said, “It is important to help our residents have access to their most basic needs. Lack of hygiene products can negatively affect good health and the mental well-being of residents.” The donation drive will run until Thursday, March 11. Donations can be dropped off at the Sweden Town Hall, Village of Brockport Office, Clarkson Town Hall, or Hamlin Town Hall. Items that can be donated include full size, unopened shampoo, body wash, deodorant, body lotion, toothpaste, tooth brushes, feminine hygiene products, adult incontinence products, dish soap, laundry detergent, household cleanser, bar soap, disposable razors, toilet paper, paper towel, and tissues. No medicated products, please. Those with questions can contact Jackie Smith at 585637-8039 or email communityhygienebank@gmail.com. Provided information

To let them know we are thinking of them and support them – and to see the joy on their faces makes our day,” says agent Jonathan Rodgers. It’s not just sweet treats that the Howard Hanna Spencerport branch uses to support the local community. Every Wednesday, the
branch highlights a different small business or organization on its social media platforms. Businesses such as Union Street Café, Bauer’s Boutique, and Spencerport Hots are just a few of the local establishments that have recently been highlighted. Each post has reached thousands of community members and has been shared several times as well. Renee Piccirillo, Branch Manager, loves the direction and momentum the initiative has created. “We love that our Business of the Week highlight has increased the awareness of these small businesses and creates a way for people in the community to support each other.” To have a small business featured, call Howard Hanna Spencerport at 352-8833.

Wedding Planner 2021 Savings strategies to help couples budget their wedding The question was popped; the engagement ring presented. What’s the next step on the road to the wedding? Saving should definitely be on couples’ minds. A wedding is likely the most costly party couples will ever throw. According to The Knot’s 2019 Real Weddings Study, the average cost of a wedding in 2019 was $33,900. There are many different costs associated with weddings. Some are predictable, while others are unexpected. Investopedia says the vast majority of couples budget too little for their weddings and also end up spending more than they
had planned. Various strategies can make it easier to save for a wedding and avoid a post-wedding financial hangover. Get informed It’s impossible to budget for a wedding and ultimately save without knowledge of what services and items cost in the region where you live. Conduct some research and find out what photographers, florists, transportation providers, reception halls, and wedding wardrobe vendors charge for common services. This will paint a vivid picture of what a wedding may cost in your area.
AWARD WINNING
Flesh out the budget Once you have gathered estimates, you can then figure out a financial goal. This also is when you can determine where to rein in spending and where you might want to splurge. If having a video memory of the wedding is not a top priority, you can skip videography services. If you have a special flower that you like, you may want to budget more for that bloom even if it isn’t in season.
Let us be part of your special day!
Our centrally located 196-year-old facility has the complete package with accommodations up to 250 people, lodging with 8 beautiful rooms, the oldest cobblestone church in North America, gardens, stream, gazebo and more. My family’s over 70-year commitment to customer satisfaction and food quality guarantees your special day will be one to remember.

Set up a dedicated savings account One of the easiest ways to save for bigticket items like a wedding, home purchase or other financial goals is to use an automatic savings account that may be available through your bank or employer. An automatic savings plan will pull a set amount from a personal checking account into a savings account through auto-draft. The bride and groom can link individual checking accounts to one savings account to contribute jointly. Avoid overspending An analysis of your spending habits will likely reveal areas where you can scale back so you can devote more funds to wedding savings. Do you need a takeout coffee in the morning or can you brew a pot at home? Might you be able to scale back on streaming services? Do you feel comfortable buying less expensive store brand groceries over name brands? Small cost savings can quickly add up. Add up gifts Factor in deduction of expenses that other people will commit to covering for wedding expenses, but only if you have concrete confirmation. A parent may host the rehearsal dinner. One’s relative may offer to pass down an antique wedding gown to wear. But rather than simply removing these gifts from your savings calculations, keep them as a safety net to put toward unforseen expenses. Saving for a wedding can be challenging. But various strategies can help couples plan their dream weddings without breaking the bank. (Metro)

Starting plants from seed by Kristina Gabalski Are you planning to start some seeds for your garden this year? Winter, especially mid-to-late winter, is the time to make seed buying choices and prepare to start some of those seeds indoors. COVID has pushed gardening from an already popular homebased activity to even greater heights, and if you are going to purchase or start seeds indoors for the first time, some guidance may be helpful. The National Garden Bureau advises that when purchasing seeds from catalogs or online, make sure you know the merchant and their reputation. Research vendors, especially if you are purchasing through a third party like Amazon, and remember to stick with URLs that begin with https rather than just http to make sure the site is secure. Local garden centers are also a great source for seed and seed starting materials, as well as advice! Also, contrary to what many have heard, the National Garden Bureau says there is no seed shortage this year, and that seed companies pack seeds annually for freshness and rigorously test seeds for quality and purity. Before you purchase seeds, consider how much space and time you have for your garden. Seeds are an economical way to produce your own food, but high-quality seed (which is really what you want) can be expensive. With seed packets hovering around $5 each, you can easily spend a large sum of money before you realize it, and many of those seeds may go to waste. Yes, you can save extra seed for next year, but the germination rate will decline over that time. Purchase only the seed amount you need and grow vegetables you know your family will enjoy or are enthusiastic to try. Seed packets and seed catalogs are a great resource and provide incredible amounts of information such as culture - what the plant needs to thrive, including soil conditions as well as sun or shade preference; when to start the seed inside; time to germination; and tips for harvesting mature crops. Take
time to read the information provided in seed catalogs, and remember to read your seed packets carefully. Starting seed indoors works best for vegetables and flowers that need plenty of time to mature. Here in Western New York, we have a relatively short growing season. Frosts can occur as late as the end of May and as early as late September. Growing from seed allows you to grow varieties of tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables you might not find in plant form at the garden center later this spring. These warm-season plants need time to germinate and grow so that you can harvest well before the threat of killing frost. To determine seed starting time, read the seed packet for details on when to start, proper planting depth, and ideal germination temperatures. Different plants need different amounts of time between planting the seed and transplanting outside. For example, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, and celery need as long as 12 weeks; peppers and tomatoes need eight weeks, flowers like celosia do well with about four weeks. Make sure you check for instructions about whether your seeds need light to germinate, and prior to planting, keep your seed packets in an airtight container, in a dry location between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. A few additional tips: look for diseaseresistant varieties, if you are growing tomatoes, for example, look for the VFN designation after their name, which indicates the plants will be resistant to verticillium and fusarium wilt and nematodes; use clean containers and a good seed starting mix; start with moistened seed starting mix and move to careful watering after planting - a spray bottle works well; provide warmth and lots of light, especially for tomatoes and peppers. Hanging shop lights just above your seedlings works well, as light from a window may not be enough. The best part about purchasing and starting seed? It means that spring and a new growing season are not far away!
