ALFRED—David E. Sanger, national security corre- spondent for the New York Times, and author of a best- selling analysis of the Obama administration’s foreign policy, will deliver the commencement address at this year’s Alfred University graduation ceremonies, to be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 17, in McLane Center.
The University will also award a Doctor of Humane Letters degree, honoris causa, to Sanger.
"David Sanger's breadth of expertise is unique,” said Alfred University President Charles M. Edmondson.
“During his career as a journalist he has had sub- stantial and direct responsi- bility for observing and explaining to literate Amer- icans the emergence of modern China, the social and economic impact of technology, the dynamics of the Middle East, the oper-

ALFRED–Kelly McNamara, a communication studies and soci- ology major with a minor in women’s and gender studies from Hurleyville, and Kevin O’Con- nor, a biology major and environ- mental studies minor from South Portland, Maine, are this year’s recipients of the Marlin Miller
Outstanding Senior Awards at Alfred University.
McNamara and O’Connor each received a handcrafted tile and a $5,000 check at AU’s Hon- ors Convocation Friday, April 25. They will speak at Commencement May 17.
Faculty, staff, and students may nominate grad- uating seniors for the award. Recipients are then chosen by a campus-wide committee on the basis of scholarship, extracurricular leadership, and per- sonal character.
“I am so pleased that Kelly and Kevin were cho- sen as this year’s Outstanding Seniors among this year’s really great field of nominees,” said Kathy Woughter, AU’s vice president for Student Affairs.
“Kelly’s involvement in the Women’s Leadership
Academy, as a student-athlete, as the diversity director for Student Senate, and so much more proves that students can, and should, strive for a well-rounded and ho- listic experience while they’re at college. Kevin is a role model for everyone, including me, on the value of diving into new experi- ences, challenging oneself and then bringing new- found skills and interests forward to serve the common good. Both students have contributed so much to Alfred University and we are the better for it.”
The hand-crafted tile made by Wayne Higby, in- ternationally acclaimed artist and professor of ce- ramic art in the School of Art & Design at AU, and the $5,000 cash award presented to the Outstand- ing Seniors, are made possible courtesy of an en- dowment created by Robert L. MacNeil Jr. of Wyndmoor, PA, a friend and business colleague of Marlin Miller, a 1954 alumnus of Alfred Uni- versity as well as a member and former chairman of the University’s Board of Trustees.
ALFRED--Dozens of Alfred State employees once again partici- pated in the annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work® Day.
Open to employees' children and grandchildren between ages 8 and 15, participants enjoyed visiting the University Police Department;
taking a residence hall tour; and building raised beds for the Alfred Community Garden.
Eleven-year-old Carolyn, daughter of Andover resident and Co- ordinator of International Student Services Tricia Herritt, attended the event for the second year and said she especially enjoyed visiting the University Police Department and getting to participate in things like fingerprinting. Other activities included terrarium planting;
demonstrations in machine tool, CAD, and forensics; cookie deco- rating; and backhoe games.
“It is beneficial for the children to see and learn about what aca- demic and social opportunities are on a college campus,” said Dawn Butts, also of Andover. Dawn is an academic support specialist in the Student Success Center. Her 12-year-old daughter, Sarah, and 8-year-old son, Eric, also attended; the forensics and CAD demon- strations ended up being their favorites—that and the excellent meal prepared by Auxiliary Campus Enterprises and Services (ACES).
Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work® Day, founded by the Ms.
Foundation for Women, is designed to expand opportunities for girls and boys, expose them to what adults in their lives do during the work day, show them the value of their education, and give them an opportunity to share how they envision their future.
ALMOND--The Alfred-Al- mond Central School Board of Education will present its 2014- 15 school budget proposal at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 6 in the high school auditorium.

ations of the American presidency, and the emergence of a national security state capable of eavesdropping on a massive scale and waging a secret cyberwar with drones and special forces."
A 30-year veteran of The New York Timesand a regular guest on CBS' Face the Nation, Sanger has become known as one of the nation’s most lucid analysts of geopolitics, national security, and globalization. His years as a foreign correspondent give him a unique view into the rise of Asia, nuclear proliferation, global com- petition, and a volatile Middle East.
Sanger's national bestseller, Confront and Conceal:
Obama's Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power, is a riveting analysis of the Obama administra- tion’s foreign policy, including its covert reliance on cyber-warfare, drones, and special operations forces. The book sent shockwaves around the globe. Foreign Affairs called it an “astonishingly revealing insider’s account.”
His previous bestseller, The Inheritance: The World Obama Confronts and the Challenges to American Power, is an in-depth examination of American foreign policy successes and failures. TIME called it a "behind- the-scenes account...laced with scoops and secret con- versations about a world spinning out of America's
control."
Sanger has been a part of two Pulitzer Prize-winning teams at the Times. His coverage of the Iraq and Korea crises took home the Weintal Prize, one of the highest honors for diplomatic reporting. He also won the White House Correspondents’ Association Aldo Beckman prize for his presidential coverage.
Early in his career, Sanger covered technology and economics, before turning to foreign policy. Over the years, he has focused on North Korea's nuclear weapons program, the rise and fall of Japan, and China as an emerging marketplace. Later, he covered domestic and foreign policy issues as the Times’ White House corre- spondent from 1999 to 2006 and the NSA and cyberse- curity as the current National Security Correspondent.
Sanger’s articulate style has made him a regular on a variety of radio and television programs, including PBS’ Washington Week and Charlie Rose.
A native of White Plains, NY, Mr. Sanger graduated magna cum laude in government from Harvard College in 1982. He now teaches national security policy as a visiting scholar and adjunct professor at Harvard Uni- versity's Kennedy School of Government.

Sifting through the mountain of back mail that waited for us when we got home, I came across an offer to sell me a cookbook of Amish cooking secrets. I think if I brought one more cookbook into my house, it would explode!
I was intrigued though, when I read about Amish tomato pan- cakes, so, instead of ordering the cookbook, I looked the recipe up on the internet. Sure enough, it was there. It’s not something that appeals to me, but I suppose it would be a way to use up a plethora of garden tomatoes. I don’t think you’d want maple syrup with these.
Tomato Pancakes
4 lg. eggs, beaten 40 saltine crackers, crushed 2 c. diced tomatoes with juice salt
2 T. butter
Combine eggs, tomatoes, crackers and salt. Stir to blend then shape into 4 inch pancakes. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add pancakes and fry for about two minutes each side until lightly browned.
A good way to use up tomatoes

FEAR VS. REALITY
Last week I attended the Senior Forum spon- sored by the Allegany County Office For the Aging (“OFA”). During the forum senior citizens were given the opportunity to question those County Legislators who were present, and make comments about matters of concern to them. Most of those present expressed general satisfaction with the pro- grams offered by OFA. However, one senior citizen commented that she felt afraid and unsafe. When asked about the cause of that fear, she stated that she was afraid because of rampant drug dealing and drug abuse. OFA Executive Director Madeleine Gasdik asked if other senior citizens also felt afraid because of drug related crime. A significant per- centage of those present raised their hands indicat- ing that they shared that fear.
County Sheriff Rick Whitney was present at the Senior Forum so I asked him if he was aware of any reported drug crimes involving senior citi- zens. He indicated that he was unaware of any such incidents. He indicated that he is in regular contact with all law enforcement agencies around the county, and would have been informed of any drug crimes against senior citizens. Several days later I made a point of meeting with Allegany County District Attorney (“DA”) Keith Slep. His office is involved in prosecuting all crimes in Allegany County so he would know about any crimes against senior citizens. He was unaware of any violent crimes against senior citizens, either drug-related or otherwise.
DA Slep and Sheriff Whitney confirmed that there is definitely a drug problem in Allegany County. There is a Drug Task Force that focuses on drug dealing, and is successful in catching and ar- resting drug dealers. The DA’s Office aggressively prosecutes drug dealers, and has a strong record of success against them. There have been burglaries involving drug users, and incidents of violence in- volving those in the drug scene. However, none of that crime involved senior citizens.
It appears there is an inconsistency between
the facts and perceptions regarding drug related crime and violence. There is absolutely no evidence of any direct impact of drug dealing upon senior citizens. Unfortunately, our seniors still feel afraid.
When I questioned several senior citizens about the basis for their fear they mentioned the incidents that they saw reported on television or in the newspa- pers. District Attorney Slep reported that the drug related violence shown on television simply isn’t present in Allegany County. Much of that violence involves gangs located in inner-city neighborhoods.
So far, none of that gang and drug related violence has occurred in our county. I trust that pattern con- tinues.
Sheriff Whitney and District Attorney Slep of- fered several good suggestions for our senior citi- zens, and others. All citizens should immediately notify law enforcement of any suspicious activities.
Our local law enforcement agencies aggressively enforce our drug laws. In Allegany County drug dealers get arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned.
Our law enforcement officers need our help since they cannot be everywhere at once. Your reports will be kept confidential and drug dealers will be removed from local neighborhoods. Don’t interfere with drug dealers. Leave that to trained profes- sional law enforcement personnel. DA Slep did mention one area of special concern for seniors.
There have been a few reported incidents of family members stealing drugs from older relatives. This is an instance of seniors being victimized by those they know, trust and invite into their homes. Keep your prescription drugs in a safe place, and out of view.
My research indicates that we are safer today than we have ever been. Violent crime is lower than it has been in decades. However, there is a sense that things are worse than ever before, because of the 24 hour news coverage on TV, Internet and radio. On a daily basis we are bombarded by “bad news.” I suspect that the media contributes as much to our sense of fear, as the drug dealers do. What do you think?

Comfort House meeting
Ad Lib Notes, Off-Key and On I read in the Sunof some programs upcoming, Of Alfred’s attempts to set people to humming With concerts, recitals, and other such things At which one plays a horn, and another one sings.
Like, I read of the concert with Frank Mitchell Bush Whom the orchestra asked to come sit on his tush…
“And as long as you’re sitting, here’s 88 keys –
But there arestrings attached…Mozart’s 23rd, please?”
The Symphonic Band, under baton of Chris Foster, Is to put on a show with such names on their roster As Nimrod…Candide…Incantation and Dance (A tune that was dreamed up and written by Chance).
And to Cap it all off, ’cross the way Alfred State Held a concert of music to honor the late
Choirmaster, Anthony C. Cappadonia,
To say, “You were great; we’re all blessed to have known ya.”
But there was one recital that gave me a chuckle;
By the sounds it’s put on by performers whose luck’ll Be lucky if any attend it at all:
It’s a vocal recital at—guess where?—“How’l Hall”!
—Anoff Key Mouse April 25, 2014
Dear Senator Young:
I received an email from Con- cerned Citizens of Allegany County CCAC that they had spo- ken with you, Senator Young re- garding Hyland landfill owned by Casella to be accepting radioac- tive frack wastes from Marcellus shale drilling in PA.
The leachate from Hyland land- fill is a large amount and is trucked daily to the Genesee river in Wellsville which was designed for sewage treatment not equipped to remove radioactive pollution. In addition Hyland wants to accept 49% more daily traffic and amounts of garbage and that will affect the daily air pollution and needs a new permit for that from DEC and from EPA which is currently pending after receiving many letters from the public about that.
CCAC reported in their email to me that at the meeting with Senator Young she had said that she had not heard a lot from the citizens about this problem.
CCAC urged me and other con- cerned citizens to write a letter to Senator Young at her email cy-
[email protected] or phone her offices ( phone number posted in any Cuba Patriot newspaper) to urge our Senator to act and to ed- ucate all of us about this impor- tant topic.
I am not surprised that the pub- lic has not contacted Senator Young much on this issue as there is not much education going on about this important topic of how to deal with wastes from fracking and certainly we do not want to become the dumping ground for those wastes from Pa were they want to drill 100,000 Marcellus wells and have already drilled more than 7,000 wells in a short time. There are only 5 landfills along the NYS border and we could become the target of that waste.
Senator Cathy Young is a mem- ber of the NY Senate Environ- mental Committee and they held a hearing on the topic of wastes from fracking and what do do about it. This hearing was held Dec. 12 2011 in Canandaigua NY .https://www.youtube.com/watch
?v=DQ1_ZHtODJo but Senator Cathy Young did not attend it and neither did any other committee members other than the chairman Senator Grisanti.
Senator Grisanti chaired that meeting along with Senator Patrick Galligan who represents that district but he is not a mem- ber of the Environmental Com- mittee. - Only the chairman showed up. A letter from Senator Avella was read urging that such a significant hearing be held in
Albany at the start of 2012 but that never happened.
I urge Senator Young to listen to the whole testimony at that hearing by Deputy Director of the DEC Eugene Leff who repre- sented Commissioner of the DEC Mr Martens - who also was a no show.
Here is the hour long testimony
of Eugene Leff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=BxxvvSzKHWs At the end of Mr Leff's testimony he warned that the liquid under the drill cut- tings that are collected from the drill cuttings at the drill site, may be concentrated with radioactivity and that must be disposed in a special TENORM landfill (not in a household landfill like Hyland .)I urge all the citizens who are concerned about the disposal of fracking wastes in our local. land- fills and using the local rivers for the leachate to contact Ms Young and urge her to take a more active
role in this important topic and develop meaningful legislation regarding this activity - or better yet- not permit it at all.
Just this week , North Dakota is discovering dumped radioactive wastes from oil drilling hidden all over in empty lots http://abc- news.go.com/International/wireSt o r y / n o r t h - d a k o t a - f i n d s - radioactive-oil-waste-23459886
Active interest of the CCAC is much appreciated. Thank you.

WELLSVILLE—The Allegany County Women’s Republican Club recently hosted a Wine & Cheese Extravaganza at the newly renovated Wellsville Country Club recently. The purpose of the event was to announce the formation of the Women for Reed coalition and to endorse Congressman Reed in his campaign for re-election to the 23rd Congressional District. “We came together to kick off the Women for Reed coalition because Tom is working hard to protect the American dream,” said Linda Fanton, ACWRC Chairwoman. "Tom is standing up for our families, focusing on jobs and using his position as our Congressman to say "No More" to domestic abuse and sexual assault. He cares for our community, and more importantly, he cares about the future of our families in Western New York.”

ANGELICA—Music is an in- tegral part of every Friday and Saturday evening at Black-Eyed Susan Acoustic Cafe.

After a few songs, they’ll intro- duce other performers in the order in which they signed in.

meals and socializing.

WELLSVILLE—Brother Sun will perform Friday, May 9 at the Wellsville Creative Arts Center.
Show starts at 8 p.m. Advanced tickets are $14, $16 at door. Mem- bers save an additional $2. Tickets may be purchased online at www.WellsvilleCreativeArtsCen- ter.com or at the Art Center Cof- fee House. For more information visit the website or call (585) 593- 3000.
National Touring Artists Greg Greenway, Pat Wictor and Joe Jencks have made their mark as
veteran touring singer-songwriters, but Brother Sun is no songwriter's round. The trio's harmonies, as much as their lyrics, tell what they are about:
warm as a campfire, stirring as a gospel church, rousing as a call to arms. Fusing folk, Americana, blues, pop, jazz, rock, and a cappella singing, Brother Sun is an explosion of musical diversity and harmony, in the finest of male singing tradi- tions.
From three major points on the map Boston, New York and Chicago - Greg, Pat and Joe have blended themselves into Brother Sun: a unique celebration of the amazing power of singing to- gether. As they will tell you, the music of Brother Sun is not resident in any one of them – but rather it exists in the space between them. Audiences feel this sincerity immediately. Their combined musi- cal skills make for an unforgettable experience - three rich voices blending on a well-crafted foun- dation of guitar, slide guitar, piano, ukulele, and
bouzouki.
Brother Sun's debut CD announced to the world that these respected singer-songwriters had banded together to produce some of the most powerful male harmonies on the acoustic music scene. After two years of nationwide touring and performances marked by outstanding songwriting, ethereal har- monies, off-the-cuff humor and standing ovations, they have released Some Part of the Truth: a CD that goes a large step further in revealing Brother Sun not only as singers, but as complete musi- cians.
The response to the trio’s music has been tremendous! From main stage performances with standing ovations at Kerrville, Falcon Ridge, Philadelphia, Old Songs, Connecticut and other Folk Festivals; to sold out concerts throughout the U.S.A, Brother Sun has earned the respect of fans, colleagues and presenters alike. And, their music and message appeals to fans of both contemporary and traditional music.

WELLSVILLE—The Allegany Arts Asso- ciation's 7th Annual Poetry Contest/Slam held April 24 saw several new poets along with repeat winners. Poetry writers from ages 14 to 75+ gathered at the David A. Howe Li- brary to share poems about joys, sorrows, moods and memories.
First prize of $50 was won by Kaitlin Cook, an Alfred-Almond eighth grade stu- dent who won a prize for the 3rd year in a row. Adam Gayhart, of Alfred, always a fa- vorite, won the $25 second place (generously donated by Black-Eyed Susan Acoustic Cafe in Angelica) with his perceptive writing.
Jasmine Schumacher, wise beyond her years and another A-A student, won third place (a prize of $15) for the second time in
two years.

Cash of Angelica and Sharon Rula Backos of Al- legany won certificates and poetry books with their strong poetic efforts, much appre- ciated by the audience.
Chris Clow, who hosts the "Spoken Word"
poetry readings at Black-Eyed Susan Acoustic Cafe in Angelica, honored the au- dience with his evolving, seasoned poetry.
The next free "Spoken Word" event will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 20.
AAA member and event chair, Joanne Allen, shared old and new limericks, poetry
by Billy Collins and "Landays," never-be- fore-recorded short personal poems by Afghan women.
After audience members voted for their fa- vorites, Karen Dickerson, AAA President, along with Andrea Schoenthal, President of Creative Writers of the Southern Tier acted as final judges. Refreshments were provided by AAA members.
The next AAA Poetry Contest/ Slam, next year, on April 23, 2015, is reputed to be the 451st birthday of William Shakespeare.
Along with their new poems, contest partic- ipants will be asked to bring a Shakespeare poem or sonnet to share.
