ALFRED–Better options for Hot Dog Day, both the family ori- ented carnival and the wild parties that happen in the late after- noon to the wee hours of the following morning, are under consideration by a committee created by the Alfred Village Board.
How can the family carnival with charity and community at the heart of the effort be preserved, while ending the onslaught of masses of rowdy people engaging in very risky behaviors all over the village?
The committee invites all persons who wish, to submit written comments that propose solutions to this dilemma.
“We hope to hear from many with some fine, effective propos- als,” said Alfred Village Trustee Becky Prophet, who is serving on the committee together with fellow Trustee Brad Bowden.
Please submit written comments to Prophet, Bowden or to cit- izens who have volunteered to serve on the committee including Joe Dosch, Christel Rodd, or Paul Weaver or leave them with the Village Clerk, Kathy Kogel, in the Village Office, 7 West Uni- versity Street, Alfred.
Comments must be given on paper, with the signature of the person submitting. Deadline for receipt of the comments is Wednesday, Oct. 1. Questions? Contact Becky Prophet at 72 S.
Main Street, Alfred, or Brad Bowden at 53 Sayles Street, Alfred.

ALFRED–We’re almost there! With just one more weekend of volunteers la- boring to complete the staining of play- ground equipment, it will be done.
So much has been accomplished to ren- ovate the Mike Kenyon Children’s Park, even with a rain delay last Sunday. Now, with the help of the community, there is just one more weekend of work to be done.
The wood has been power washed and sanded, repairs have been completed to
replace unsafe sections of the structure, and staining has begun. This was all made possible because of the generous number of hours volunteered by community mem- bers like you!
This past weekend alone we recorded 192 volunteer hours with representation from Alfred Montessori School staff and families, staff and students of Alfred-Al- mond Central School, Alfred State Col- lege faculty, staff, and students (including the Men’s basketball team and three Greek houses), Alfred University staff,
faculty, and students (including the Women’s Tennis team directly after a tough match and still in uniform no less), and many, many more. We even had vol- unteers pitch in who had helped build the park 20 years ago.
A huge Thank You to everyone who has participated so far!
What remains is the bulk of stain appli- cation to the wooden structure and perimeter fence. Please consider joining us for a couple hours or more this week- end. We will be working from 8 a.m. to 6
p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 27 and Sept. 28.
Equipment and tools will be provided but feel free to bring, or lend for use, your paint sprayer. Come anytime, but help us prepare by emailing to let us know when you plan to arrive: mikekenyonchil- [email protected].
If weather looks doubtful please check our ‘Mike Kenyon Children’s Park’ Face- book page for updates. Only with your help will we be able to accomplish the re- maining work this weekend.

A week away, spent working with homeschoolers on anatomy, cour- tesy of my AMAZING department at Alfred State College, Physical and Life Sciences, also allowed some time to have a delicious supper at Parkview Grocery and Deli in Unadilla, NY, with family. I was charmed by this enormous airplane or spider plant, obviously a "pet"
of the owners. I hope you can read the inscriptions on the pot, in- cluding "I'm overweight," on the lower left.
the Hann Homestead Inn located off Route 417 just west of Andover.
I finally went through my cookbook collections and culled some for the book sale last weekend. I was so proud of myself, but then we went to Maine and I just had to buy another cookbook. It is a beautiful one called Delicious Deer Isle. How could I resist?
It is a collection of recipes from the Sunset Congregational Church “at the edge of the sea in Maine”. This recipe is a twist on old-fashioned peach pie and has an interesting crust.
peachy pie
1½ c. unbleached flour 3 perfect, ripe peaches, sliced
½ tsp. salt 3 lg. egg yolks, beaten 1 stick butter 1 c. sugar
2 T. sour cream 2 T. unbleached flour
spray for pie pan ½ c. sour cream (be generous here) Preheat oven to 425. Process in a food processor the flour with sour cream until it forms a ball. Pat this softish ball into a prepared 9” pan, fluting the edges prettily if you have the patience. Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Turn oven down to 350 degrees. Arrange the peaches in concentric circles within the pie crust. Now you are ready to prepare the rest of the filling. Com- bine the last four ingredients, mixing well, and pour over the peaches. Cover loosely with foil. Bake for 35 minutes or until set.
If you want to “gild the lily” you can melt about ½ c. current jelly with 2 T. Grand Marnier until jelly is melted and can be poured.
When you gently pour this over the top of the pie after it is baked and cooled it gives a nice sheen to this amazing dessert.

CiTiZENS OF DiSTiNCTiON
There was a time, not that long ago, when men and women from Allegany County occupied places of distinction and leadership in our state and nation.
Through their own efforts, and those with whom they held close association, they made valuable contributions to the growth and development of America. In this article I will follow the careers and connections of several of those individuals.
Martin Grover, Esq. moved to Angelica from Hammondsport in 1835. He became one of the pre- eminent attorneys in NYS and Allegany County. In 1844 he was elected to Congress, and served sev- eral terms. He was a staunch opponent of slavery.
In 1857 he was appointed as Interim Justice of Su- perior Court. He was re-elected in 1859 to a full term. In 1865 he was appointed to the Court of Ap- peals, the highest Court in New York. In 1867 he was elected to a full term on that Court. He died in 1875 while still serving on that Court. During his career he handled many notable cases, and trained many attorneys who later had distinguished careers of their own. Today his portrait hangs in the James Euken Courtroom in the County Courthouse in Belmont.
David P. Richardson, Esq. came to Angelica in 1856 to help start the “Angelica Academy.” He served as one of its earliest principal’s. A few years later he began to study law with Martin Grover, Esq. In 1861 he helped raise a company of cavalry that served with the 6th New York Regiment during the Civil War. After the War he served on the County Board of Supervisors for 3 terms. In 1878 he was elected to Congress and served two terms.
He married Julia Lloyd and raised his family in An- gelica. His son, Ransom Lloyd Richardson, Esq.
opened up one of the first law offices in Fillmore.
His grandson, David P. Richardson, Esq. became an attorney and joined that practice. He continued that law firm from the 1940s to the 1980s. When I graduated from law school in 1975 he offered me
my first job as an attorney. My current firm is the direct successor of that law practice.
Frank Sullivan Smith, Esq., was born in the Town of Granger in 1851, and grew up in our County. He was the son of William M. Smith, M.D., who served as Surgeon General of the State of New York, and also as Health Officer of the Port of New York, during the huge immigration surge occurring in the late 19th century. He attended An- gelica Academy before enrolling in Yale College in 1872. After graduation he returned to Allegany County and was appointed as School Commis- sioner of the Northern District of Allegany County.
He studied law under David P. Richardson, Esq. in the late 1870s and became a partner in that law firm. However, he became involved with railroad development, and ended up as president of the Pittsburg, Shawmut & Northern Railroad, and sev- eral other corporations. He married Clara Higgins, sister of Frank W. Higgins.
Frank W. Higgins is the only native of Alle- gany County to be elected and serve as Governor of New York State. He served from 1904 to 1906.
Prior to his election he had worked as a merchant and entrepreneur. The Higgins Family and Smith Family made major charitable donations to the Olean General Hospital and Angelica Library.
Ransom Lloyd, Esq. moved to Angelica in 1827 as a young attorney. He was one of the County’s earliest judges. His daughter married David P. Richardson, Esq. His son, Harlan P. Lloyd, Esq., served as a cavalry officer under General Philip Sheridan in the Civil War. After the war he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio and established a law firm. One of his partners was a former Ohio gov- ernor. Another partner was former US Attorney General Alphonso Taft. The Taft family produced a US President, Supreme Court Justice, and several Governors and Senators.
Allegany County has a heritage and history we can be proud of.

What i Should Read is Something That’s a Mystery to Me Y’know, every book that’s interesting’s a mystery;
It’s the only way a book that’s any goodshouldbe, Whether novel, self-help, reference, or history – A mystery’s what every single bookshouldbe.
Cuz if to read it I’m inclined to be, It had better be a mystery to ME.

Alfred University hosted me this past Wednesday for a day of art, talks and some superhero action. One of the most unique educational programs in the nation, Drawn to Diversity was my host courtesy Dan Napolitano. My passion in life is to create cartoons, write and as of last year cosplay to engage our collective contradictions, obfuscations, inspirations and carve a space for new imaginations.
On a trip to University of Kansas this past spring sharing my art and Captain America alter-ego, I was made aware of the mission that drives the Drawn to Diversity. Armed with creativity to promote equal- ity, reduce violence, and strengthen communities. If I was in college again this would be my most sought after class.
I started my day addressing the Foundation class. As I do in many settings I started with an informal survey to ask everyone in the audi- ence to pen down the first words that come to mind when they see me.
My goal is to set a baseline for prevalent stereotypes of turbans and beards in contemporary America. An overwhelming majority of Amer- icans have a negative response to a turban and beard which I spot as part of my Sikh faith.
So to my surprise the majority of students had an utter affinity to the blue turban, blue sweater and my sparsely populated DNA spiral beard. One student wanted to run his or her fingers through my beard (* not in a creepy way).
And then there were commonly held responses for a small minority.
Muslim, Middle Eastern, Foreign, Islam. Clearly this young college crowd of fine art students came into this early morning class with a different lens than majority of Americans. For the next hour we jour- neyed through a collage of Sikhtoons, cartoons featuring Sikhs in America and beyond.
Then I was off to my hotel room for a change over into my Captain America alter-ego. A costume inspired by the latest Captain America:
Winter Soldier movie altered extensively to fit my skinny frame sup- plemented by my blue turban and ankle high Supra shoes.
My walk about through campus had its quiet moments with classes in session followed by photo moments, selfie’s and many affirmative hollers of awesomeness. I even had a run in with Thor dressed in her thick high heeled red shoes.
The day concluded with a Turban demystification workshop with the current crop of Drawn to Diversity students armed with their cre- ativity and weapons of change and me armed with a colorful bag of turbans. Red, saffron, blue, turquoise, polka dot. We rolled the long cotton cloths together, willing volunteers sat on a chair and we went rolling around in circles tying turbans. My hope for these fellow citi- zens to step into my turban for a few moments and personalize some- thing that is beyond the far reaches of their mental horizons.
A student came up to me towards the end of the day and told me he really enjoyed my work with the hope I come back to Alfred. I cer- tainly felt the warm open embrace of student community in this village known to be named after Alfred the Great.
I would like to extend my Gratitude to the entire Alfred University for hosting me, engaging me and in the process allowing me to share my superpower in the words of a friend of mine. Making it easier for people to wrap their heads around a more compassionate world. How?
By wrapping their heads with my turbanful imagination.
Vishavjit Singh is the first turbaned and bearded editorial cartoonist in U.S. By day he is a software analyst and by nights/weekends he cre- ates turbanful Sikh cartoons that can be consumed at Sikhtoons.com.

Dear Editor:
My name is Christine Dodd and I am a student at Alfred State College. After recently attending a village board meeting, I’m writing to call greater attention to the apparent tension between the colleges and some members of the village community. There are a lot of amazing students that genuinely care about their re- spective colleges, and also deeply care about the village community. I am one of those students. I make time to work in the Office of Student Engage- ment and in the Office of Civic Engagement. Through this work, I put in over 200 hours just last year trying to create events and activities for students to become more connected to both their school and their community in an interactive and safe way. And I’m not the only student dedi- cated to the betterment of the col- lege and Alfred community;
there are many students on both campuses who work just as hard as I do. Other students who deeply care and who love the many diverse communities that make up Alfred include ‘regular’
students, student athletes, Greek students, and students who be- long to the many clubs. Admit-

tedly, there are people in both the campus and village communities who don’t have the appropriate amount of respect for the other.
Please, I ask you this: don’t gen- eralize. Most students are those that say please and thank you, that go to your local businesses and spend money that goes back into the community, that are more than willing to rake your lawn in the fall, and that help at the Community Garden. So when I attend a village board meeting, if you’re on the board or just attending the meeting, please treat me with the same re- spect and courtesy as I am com- mitted to showing you. I’d like to feel both welcomed and re- spected; last week, I felt neither.

To the Editor:
The Alfred Village Planning Board would like to thank Peg Prisco for 33 years of service to the village as a board member in- cluding 9 years as chair. She has been a thoughtful and diligent volunteer who served with kind- ness whether working on recom- mended changes to the code or reviewing site plans during board meetings. Her presence and ex- perience will be missed by the board. Thank you, Peg!
Additionally, the Planning Board would like to acknowl- edge the life and service of our former chair, Anne Wenslow.
Anne was a tireless worker who cared deeply for the Alfred com- munity serving on the Village
Planning Board for 11 years and chair for the past 8 years as well as a board member of Alfred 21st Century Group. Anne is sincerely missed and her contributions to the village cannot be overstated.
Peter McClain, Chair Alfred Village Planning Board
To the Editor:
This past Saturday I stopped by the Mike Kenyon Children's Park to see the ongoing renova- tions first-hand. I encourage everyone to stop by.
Volunteers of all ages were painting, sanding and repairing and it was truly uplifting to see the park bustling with activity.
Huge thanks to Nicole Munkwitz and the Renovation Steering Committee for organizing and leading the effort and to every- one who has volunteered!
I stopped by the park on my way home from the well-at- tended Disaster Preparedness Training at Alfred State. During my park visit the always fun Box of Books annual sale was occur- ring across the street. On my way to the training I passed a group of students collecting trash on South Main. I was running late (typical!) so did not have a chance to inquire who they were and thank them. Belated thanks to them!
All in all, it was a day that re- minded me how special a com- munity Alfred is. Finally, I understand the work at the chil- dren's park will continue this weekend. Nicole and company - please reserve a brush and/or sander for me.
Best, Justin Grigg Alfred Village Mayor

It’s ‘All in the Timing’ for ‘An Ives Evening’ at AU
ALFRED–The Alfred Univer- sity (AU) Performing Arts Divi- sion will pay homage to American playwright David Ives during four nightly presentations of “An Ives Evening/All in the Timing,” Wednesday, Oct. 1 to Saturday, Oct. 4 beginning at 8 p.m. in the C.D. Smith Theatre, Miller Performing Arts Center on campus.
General admission is $10 while cost for senior citizens and non-AU students is $5; admis- sion is $2 for AU students. Email [email protected] or call 607.871.2828 for reservations.
Ives is known for his short comic plays that follow deep cerebral paths to examine and expose the inner complications and details of American life. His plays have been described as
“witty, quirky, heady, and sur- prisingly logical.”
The seven selected pieces that make up “An Ives Evening/All in the Timing” are “Words, Words, Words;” “The Universal Language;” “Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread;” “Sure Thing;”
“Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue;” “The Philadelphia;” and
“Seven Menus.”
“Words, Words, Words” walks through the process of three chimpanzees typing randomly in a science experiment to create
“Hamlet.” “The Universal Lan- guage” follows the story of a con man running a scam to teach a made-up language to any willing (and paying) student. “Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread,” an operatic satire, was composed by Phillip Glass, contemporary composer from Baltimore. “Sure Thing” centers on a chance meeting in a restaurant that may result in a budding and lasting relationship. “Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue” follows the story of a man named Chuck who tries to win over the heart of a girl through three different miniature golf “first” dates.
“The Philadelphia,” a play set in a New York City diner explores the idea of distant cities being portrayed as states of mind or states of being like Cleveland being described as “death, with- out the advantages.” And lastly,
“Seven Menus” examines mari- tal relationships, changes, and exchanges while taking place in a restaurant as well.
Student performers include
Morgan Rairigh, a first-year art and design major from New Hope, PA, as Kafka in “Words, Words, Words,” Martha in “The Philadelphia,” and Dawn in
“Seven Menus;” Abigail Hurley, a sophomore Spanish major from Barrington, RI, as Swift in
“Words, Words, Words” and Dawn in “The Universal Lan- guage;” Nicki Jones, a sopho- more theater and English major from Muncy, PA, as Milton in
“Words, Words, Words” and Alma in “Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue.”
Also, Brian O’Connor, a soph- omore English major from Chit- tenango, as Don in “The Universal Language” and Fluff in “Seven Menus;” Aubrey Fry, a senior math and physics major from Jasper, as First Woman in
“Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread,” and Amy in “Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue;” Rachel Romack, a senior theater and psychology major from Ithaca, as second woman in “Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread,”
Betty in “Sure Thing,” and Hazel in “Seven Menus;” Nathan Yard, a senior biomedical materials en- gineering science major from Quakertown, PA, as Glass in
“Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread,” Chuck I in “Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue,” and Paul in “Seven Menus.”
In addition, Noah Mitchell, a first-year student from Eliza- bethtown, PA, as Baker in
“Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread,” and Bill in “Sure Thing;” Delaney O’Hare, a first- year theater major from Wallkill, as Annie in “Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue” and Phyllis in
“Seven Menus;” Andrew Hazer, a junior theater major from New York City, as Chuck II in “Fore- play, or The Art of the Fugue,”
Waiter in “The Philadelphia,”
and Jack in “Seven Menus;”

ALFRED—Alfred University’s (AU) Bergren Forum, a weekly lunchtime series, continues today (Thursday, Sept. 25), in Nevins Theater, Powell Campus Center with a talk by Susan Greene, an expert on early fabrics, clothing, and textiles. The program is free and open to the public.
A local resident, Greene, former art teacher and graphic designer, will talk about “Calico and the Sturdy Pioneer” with a focus on calico - what it was, who wore it, and how it related to the “home- spun movement.”
Greene was in charge of the American Costume Museum in Alfred Station for several years. In order to accommodate her collection, the Genesee County Museum in Mumford spent $2.7 million to renovate its gallery and storage facility. She has recently released an encyclopedia on the subject.
Laurel Jay Carpenter to give next talk The Bergren Forum continues Thursday, Oct. 2 at 12:10 pm in Nevins Theater, Powell Campus Center with “Performance To Go” by Laurel Jay Carpenter, associate professor of art. The program is free and open to the public.
Since her sabbatical two years ago, Carpenter has presented new performance art work in Italy, Norway, Poland and Germany. Her forum will focus on her solo and collaborative work, and per- haps include a few tourist shots of the residency sites.
According to her personal webpage, “Carpenter is a performance and installation artist, investigat- ing longing, devotion and alchemy in her dura- tional live works.”
She has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally. It has been featured at eight differ- ent venues in New York, two in Germany, and one in Spain, Italy, Norway, and Poland.
Carpenter was one of only two U.S. participants in the Independent Performance Group (IPG) from 2004-07. The IPG is a non-profit established to promote young international performance artists.
Carpenter holds a bachelor of arts degree in English literature and art history from Tufts Uni- versity, Medford, MA, and a master of fine arts de- gree in sculpture and performance from the University of Connecticut, Storrs.
She teaches in the Interdisciplinary Art program at AU with special interest in performance art, found object sculpture, and site-specific installa- tion.
The Bergren Forum is sponsored by the Divi- sion of Human Studies, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Provost’s Office. Guests are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch; coffee and tea will be provided.
The series known as the Bergren Forum began in 1970. Rick Bergren, who taught at the Univer- sity in the ‘70s, started the forums after being in- spired by learning of the gatherings that (AU) students in the 19th century were known to con- duct in Alumni Hall to discuss community issues.
After Bergren’s death in 1974, the University de- cided to continue the tradition in his name. Various faculty members have taken on the coordinator du- ties since that time. William S. Dibrell, professor of philosophy, is the current coordinator.

and design major from Merrick, as Chuck III in
“Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue”
and Barry in
“ S e v e n Menus;” and S a m a n t h a Faller, a first- year engi- n e e r i n g major from York, PA as Ally in “The P h i l a d e l - phia,” and
Ruth in
“ S e v e n Menus.”
In addition
to those performing, several stu- dents will be designing for the first time. Sophomore art and design major from Middleburg Heights, Ohio Nick Labate will be designing costumes for
“Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread” and collaborating on the poster and other publicity visu- als with junior art and design major from Whitehall, PA Jason Dearing. Dearing and first-year student Grace Beekman from Middleburgh will join junior Cassidy Teagle from New York City to design the floor plans and props for “Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue” and “The Philadelphia.” Teagle will also design costumes for both pieces.
Alongside the 15 students in- volved in the making and deliv- ery of this production, Becky Prophet, theater professor, and Zach Hamm, technical director in the Performing Arts Division, and AU senior political science and theater double major Jamal Welcome of Brooklyn will be collectively directing/staging the performances. Welcome will di- rect “Sure Thing” while Prophet
will direct the other six p l a y s . Hamm will work as the technical di- rector along- side Prophet to coordi- nate, light, and stage all seven plays.
Prophet is an alumna of Alfred Uni- versity hold-
ing a
bachelor of arts degree in English.
She earned a master of arts degree and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Having spent nearly three decades work- ing and teaching in theater, she has acted, directed, and taught in Massachusetts, Michigan, Wis- consin, and Atlanta. She enjoys directing plays which challenge students and audiences and fa- vors theater which addresses for social and political change. She is active in the Kennedy Cen- ter/American College Theatre Festival and Association for Theatre in Higher Education.
Hamm has worked on dozens of productions along the East Coast, particularly in New York, North Carolina, and Virginia. He earned a bachelor of arts degree in architectural studies and art from Connecticut College, New London, CT and a master of fine arts degree in technical theater production from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
He is responsible for supporting two dance performances, three theater productions, and in ex- cess of 10 music events in the Miller Performing Arts Center annually while teaching.
HORNELL—Mario Prisco, former dean and professor at the School of Art and Design, NYS College of Ceramics at Alfred University, will have a selected retrospective at the Hornell Art Center.
The exhibition will contain examples from a number of series dating from 1947 to the present in various media, including draw- ing, watercolor, acrylic and oil painting.
The work demonstrates the influences and events that impact an artist’s efforts over a seventy-year period.
The 20th century witnessed rapidly changing concepts and styles, and with the advent of electronic media in the 21st century, the changes seem to occur even more rapidly.
Prisco will give an artist’s talk to discuss his passage through these changes and whether there is a thread or attitude that sus- tains the work over that period of time.
The exhibition is at the Hornell Arts Center, 58 Broadway Mall, Hornell. Entrance is from the parking lot. There will be an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4. The artist’s talk will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7.
All in the Timing will be staged at 8 p.m. Oct. 1-4.

What’s Happening at Almond Library
By SANDRA ROBINSON
Almond Twentieth Century Club Library Director
Think spring! There is nothing more encouraging at this time of year, when the portent of snow and a long, cold winter is upon us, than to envision and prepare for the uplifting beauty of next spring’s garden blossoms. As part of Cooperative Extension, Master Gar- dener Mary Lu Wells will present “Plant Now, Bloom Later,” her inspiring and illustrated talk on planting fall bulbs for spring blooms.
This is a new presentation with many original photos which Ms.
Wells is very excited to unveil. Please call to pre-register for this event, scheduled for next Thursday, Oct. 2, from 6:30-8pm. The usual nominal fee of $5 must be prepaid at the library.
Calling all our Pumpkin Patch kids (you know who you are)! We will meet here this Saturday, Sept. 27 to carve our initials into our growing pumpkins. Mary Lu Wells will be here at 10 am, and is also offering to do soil pH testing for the home gardens of those partici- pating.Please call the library for details. Then, our final Pumpkin Harvest Celebration will take place at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, when each Pumpkin Patch gardener may harvest the fruit of his or her labor. We will also make homegrown pumpkin pudding to enjoy with fresh whipped cream!
Infinity and Beyond Sci-Fi Book Club will meet on Thursday, Sept. 25, from 6-7 pm. If you have any inclination toward the subject of science fiction, you should really try this meeting at least once.
We have an eclectic group of scientists, pastors, musicians, techies, etc. who know how to have a good time, and consider “the more, the merrier.” Feel free to stop by for discussion of this month’s read- ing selection, Pattern Recognition, by William Gibson.
Community Coffee will be served this Monday, September 29 at 10am. There is always room for more at our friendly gathering of local folks who like to talk, sip coffee or juice, and nibble on some- thing sweet. Please come!

By ELIZA ORDWAY Box of Books Library Director
The library and its staff is recovering from a VERY successful Book Sale this past weekend. The weather was beautiful and the tent was full all day. I honestly wish we could have stayed “open” longer because people were still busy shopping when we began breaking down. I would like to thank whoever took the time and energy to move our recycle books under the bus stop covering for the weekend while they awaited pick up. We were able to pack up 85 boxes of books to send off to Better World Books this year and only had to send about 30 boxes off to recycling due to the condition or content of them.
A yearly challenge for us is what to do with the books at the end of the sale. We have guidelines from Better World Books that dictate what books they want and which they do not. If the books don’t meet this guidelines we have to send them for recycling. Then the chal- lenge with the recycle books is where to put them. We have put them on the curb and then it rains which is sad to have books ruined by the elements. I never thought of using the bus stop cover to help pro- tect them. I welcome suggestions about what to do with these books.
The tent that we rent from the Andover Lions was left up longer than usual and had a pole removed from it. If you have seen a large tent pole in the creek or in your yard could you please let me know.
We are hoping that it will turn up and can be returned to the Lions.
All of that said let me say THANK YOU! To the Delta Chi Omega Sorority, the Kappa Sigma Epsilon Fraternity, Keith Rogers, the Friends of the Box of Books Library, and all of the volunteers who made the Book and Bake Sale such a great success. All of your help is immeasurable and the sale would not be possible without all of you! Coming up here at the BoB:
