Young artist donates her first mural to Brockport restaurant
by Joanne Michielsen
Fifteen-year-old Chloe Coon of Spencerport is an aspiring artist. While she has received some recognition for her work, she doesn’t usually share it with others. “I mostly just do it for me,” she said. “It’s an expression and extension of myself.”
One day, while dining at Frankie Fresh Burritos & Bowls in Brockport, Chloe couldn’t help but notice how blank their walls were. She said, “There was all this open, untouched space on the walls that to my eye looked like the perfect canvas.” After “ranting on and on” to her parents about what a perfect space it would be for a mural, they suggested she paint one.
“I had talked about painting murals in the past, but the idea of actually approaching a business and really doing it was terrifying,” Chloe said.
Chloe’s goal lately has been to push herself beyond her comfort zone, and this was one way to do just that. Once she decided the worst thing they could say was “no,” she sketched a design and painted a mock-up of her idea.
Knowing it would be difficult to convince a business to trust a teenager with their walls, she came up with the idea of donating her first mural
of volunteering and giving back to the community on her own time. She viewed this mural as another form of community service – helping a small, local business by utilizing her own unique skill set.
Chloe returned to Frankie Fresh with her sketch in hand, ready to pitch the idea. As it turns out, the owners, Frank and Erica Pesce, weren’t there that day, but one of their employees took Chloe’s information and passed it on to them. “I was scared because I am so young, and the idea just seemed so far-fetched that I didn’t think it would ever happen. But to my surprise, they actually got back to me and loved my idea,” Chloe said. They agreed to let her paint a custom panel, which they wouldn’t see until the unveiling.
While working on the piece, Chloe worried that the Pesces may not like her approach or art style. “In the mural, I took their logo and put my own spin on it, which could be either really amazing or an epic fail because art is such a subjective thing. But I just had to trust my gut. This is my first piece of work I’m really putting out there, and I really want
it to show a bit of me while also prioritizing the establishment as well.”
Chloe unveiled her finished work in front of the Pesce family, customers, and the media at Frankie Fresh the afternoon of September 5. It received an overwhelmingly positive response.
“The owners were happy with how it turned out, and I was so relieved,” Chloe said. “It was my first time actually meeting them in person at the reveal, and they were such nice people. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start my art journey.”
The mural was installed on the main wall of the restaurant’s dining area, and is one of the first things customers will see when they visit.
Chloe hopes her story will inspire other young people to step outside their comfort zone, because although it can be a bit scary and make one feel vulnerable, she believes it is the only way to really allow for growth. She also encourages them to devise creative solutions to overcome obstacles when pursuing their chosen career. It is advice that could benefit people of all ages.
PTNY launches economic impact study of the Empire State Trail
Parks & Trails New York (PTNY) is launching a groundbreaking economic impact study of the Empire State Trail. Led by LaBella Associates with support from the Institute for Transportation Research and Education (ITRE) at North Carolina State University, this will be the most comprehensive greenway economic impact analysis ever undertaken in New York State, and perhaps anywhere in the US. The Empire State Trail, extending 750 miles and renowned as the longest multi-use state trail in the nation, offers more than stunning
views and recreational opportunities.
This study aims to quantify the trail’s wide-ranging economic contributions, encompassing tourism-related spending, real estate value, business recruitment, and public health benefits. By capturing data across these diverse sectors, the study will provide valuable insights into the trail’s impact on New York’s economy and the well-being of its communities.
The upcoming rigorous, data-driven economic impact report will also interrogate the degree to which the economic benefits of the trail are or
are not realized equitably across the trail corridor.
The study will combine use of multiple data sources with an on-the-trail intercept survey to gather immediate feedback from those using the trail as well as a web-based survey which participants who have visited the Empire State Trail in the past year can take at any time after their trip.
Parks & Trails New York encourages the public to support this landmark report by taking part in the brief online survey, which launched September 8.
“Public participation is a crucial part of the upcoming study,” said Paul Steely White, Executive Director of Parks & Trails New York. “Without public input, we won’t see the full picture of what we know to be the important economic impact of this incredible
state resource. This is an exciting opportunity to highlight the trail’s role in driving economic growth, enhancing public health, and attracting investment to New York State.”
The results of this study will serve as a critical tool for policymakers, advocates, and stakeholders, providing credible data to support future investments in trail infrastructure and programming. It will also underscore the trail’s significance as a catalyst for community development and economic prosperity.

Counties call on state to provide additional support for medicaid and SnaP programs
At the annual fall meeting of the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) in Niagara Falls, county officials called on state leaders to provide additional financial and administrative support as counties prepare to implement sweeping changes to Medicaid and SNAP programs under the newly enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
The federal law, signed on July 4, 2025, shifts significant fiscal and administrative responsibilities to states and counties — particularly in the areas of health care and nutrition. With $1.3 billion in projected new costs for counties statewide, local leaders emphasized the urgency of a strong state partnership to manage the transition without undermining public services or raising property taxes.
“Counties are on the frontlines of delivering Medicaid and SNAP services, and we’re committed to doing so as efficiently as possible, but we can’t manage this federal overhaul alone,” said NYSAC President Phil Church. “We need our partners at the state to provide real support — not just to protect county

budgets, but to protect the New Yorkers who depend on these essential programs.”
The new requirements laid out in the OBBBA will force counties to adhere to much stricter program integrity efforts, including tighter eligibility parameters, more frequent verification of eligibility, and enhanced work requirements. The federal changes to SNAP and Medicaid will require an expanded local workforce, IT streamlining, and additional training to ensure that local institutions maximize their efficiencies and are able to avoid federally imposed financial penalties.
“Counties are being asked to overhaul their eligibility systems, hire and train hundreds of new staff, and modernize outdated technology — all at once,” said Stephen Acquario, Executive Director of the New York State Association of Counties. “We’re already facing workforce shortages in social services. Without strong support from the state to build capacity and streamline these systems, the new federal mandates

will overwhelm local governments and disrupt services that New Yorkers rely on every day.”
NYSAC is urging the Governor, the State Legislature, the Office of Temporary Disability Assistance, and the Department of Health to provide additional financial assistance and administrative support to comply with the new federal Medicaid and SNAP standards.
Both counties and the state have struggled with recruiting and maintaining enough trained staff to support social services enrollment, as well as eligibility and program integrity efforts prior to the changes mandated in the OBBBA. Because of this, counties are seeking to work with the state to develop more streamlined and centralized IT systems that can reduce the need for additional staff as much as possible, and implement special incentive programs to attract additional staff that do need to be hired.

Monroe County 2025 Conservation Field Days
Monroe County Soil & Water Conservation District (MCSWCD) is hosting the 36th annual Conservation Field Days September 17 and 18 at Monroe County’s Ellison Park. The District will welcome over 25 instructors from various local conservation and environmental organizations and 12 schools with over 720 students.
Each year, in partnership with sponsors, Monroe County Parks Department and Wegmans, MCSWCD hosts fifth and sixth graders from Monroe County schools to come and participate in a casual, outdoor fair-like event with one goal in mind – educating local students about the importance of all topics outdoors and conservation, all while experiencing outdoor education in one of the county parks.

and organizations like Genesee Country Village & Museum, Seneca Park Zoo Society, and Rochester Museum & Science Center will all be on hand this year, along with new instructors Braddock Bay Bird Observatory and New York Sea Grant.
The hope for this event is to have students leave with a renewed excitement and appreciation for the environment surrounding them each and every day, along with a curiosity to learn more about what they can do to be a part of conservation. The students see a variety of topics and engage in hands-on activities throughout the day, including wildlife ecology, urban agriculture, recycling, invasive species, beekeeping, dairy farming, and more

Honoring a fallen firefighter in Gates
The Gates Fire District is recognizing 50 years since the Line of Duty Death of Firefighter Charles MacPherson by flying flags at its fire stations at halfstaff from sunrise to sunset on September 13.
On Saturday, September 13, 1975, FF MacPherson responded from Station 2 to 2300 Spencerport Road along with other volunteer firefighters for a reported barn fire. While responding on the apparatus to the scene, FF MacPherson experienced a medical event and went into cardiac arrest. The other firefighters started cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and FF MacPherson was transported to, then, Park Ridge Hospital where he later died.
Charles MacPherson was an eight-year member of the Gates-Chili Fire Department. A bronze plaque located at the Headquarters Station, 2355 Chili Avenue, stands in recognition of Firefighter MacPherson and his ultimate sacrifice to his community. Provided information

To compost or not to compost
by Kristina Gabalski
With autumn in the air, gardeners’ thoughts are turning to end of growing season clean-up, and that usually means lots of material going onto the compost pile. But what about diseased plant material that can be very prevalent in the landscape late in the season?
Brian Hudelson, Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison Extension, warns about plant diseases that should not end up in your compost pile.
Not surprisingly, Late Blight makes the list. This disease impacts potatoes and tomatoes and is encouraged by cool, wet weather – something we have not seen much of this year. Hudelson says if you do end up with Late Blight – which affects both the plants and fruit – remove the plants and plant parts, fruits, and any volunteer plants and destroy them. He recommends burning where allowed or double-bagging and sending to the landfill. For next year, use fresh potatoes as seed, which are certified seed potatoes, and grow resistant tomato varieties. Apply fungicides to prevent infections according to label directions BEFORE there are signs of Late Blight.
Impatiens Downy Mildew is another no-no for composting, Hudelson says. Garden impatiens, Balsam impatiens, Jewelweed (native impatiens), and even New Guinea impatiens can act as a host, although New Guinea impatiens have resistance/tolerance for the disease. This disease also likes wet weather. To control it, do not grow impatiens in the same location every year. Look for tolerant/resistant/immune plants. Do not overcrowd plants, and do not water from overhead. Bag

and discard affected plants, including asymptomatic surrounding plants. Fungicide can be used to help prevent this disease.
Verticillium Wilt is another disease that Hudelson says to be cautious about adding to your compost pile. Many woody ornamentals, vegetables, and herbaceous plants host this disease, including maple, ash, redbud, smokebush, tomato, potato, pepper, eggplant, cucurbits, purple coneflower, and blazing star. Cool, wet weather is favorable for infection, while hot, dry weather is favorable for symptom development. It is recommended that you avoid municipal mulches to help control this disease, as well as keep broad-leaf weeds under control and clean up leaf litter. Prune diseased (wilted) areas and burn where allowed. Do not use fungicides for Verticillium Wilt.
Interestingly, Hudelson notes hot compost – with a question mark – as a way to destroy infected plant material in the case of Verticillium Wilt. He does not provide any additional explanation.
I found an article written a few years back entitled “Dos and Don’ts of Composting,” by Steve Reiners, a professor in the Horticulture Section of the School of Integrative Plant Science, Cornell University, Cornell Agritech. Reiners notes plant diseases can survive the compost process, but also says that if he excluded all diseased material, he wouldn’t have much to put in his compost pile. He says his pile is very biodiverse, and the heat it produces is likely great enough to destroy most diseases. He is willing to take that chance, mainly because he has a healthy, active, hot compost pile.
to your compost pile.
Reiners explains that efficient compost piles need a balance of high nitrogen greens and high carbon browns (straw, dried leaves, wood chips, etc).
So, if your compost pile is generating good heat, you might consider adding at least some diseased material, especially if you are limited in the amount of healthy material you have to add. Keep in mind that if the pile does not heat up enough, diseases can survive and reinfect your garden.
