‘Creation’ debate to be webcast
ALFRED--In celebration of Black History Month, the Al- fred University (AU) Center for Student Involvement will pres- ent AUCrobats: Zuzu African Acrobats Fly High at Alfred on Saturday, Feb. 1 in Holmes Auditorium, Harder Hall at 8 p.m.
Sponsored by the student group Umoja, the event is free but seating is limited to the first 450 people.
Zuzu African Acrobats, which has performed on the NBC show “America’s Got Talent,” is from Mombasa, Kenya. Mem- bers will perform a 45-minute choreographed routine embody- ing the rich cultural history of East Africa. The show includes fast pyramid building, limbo, contortion, bottle balancing, tum- bling, chair stacks and balancing, and a pole act.
Three of the five members who will be performing were semi-finalists in the 2011 “America’s Got Talent” shows. At that time the group performed as Zuma Zuma.

ALFRED—It is a debate made popular by Jerome Lawrence’s and Robert Edwin Lee’s play “Inherit the Wind.”
The play gave us many memo- rable quotes including:
Henry Drummond: “The Gospel according to Brady! God speaks to Brady, and Brady tells the world! Brady, Brady, Brady, Almighty!”
Matthew Harrison Brady: “All of you know what I stand for - what I believe! I believe in the truth of the Book of Genesis!
Exodus! Leviticus! Numbers!
Deuteronomy! Joshua! Judges!
Ruth! First Samuel! Second Samuel! First Kings! Second Kings! Isaiah! Jeremiah!
Lamentations! Ezekiel!...”
It is a debate that has occurred on many labels: Religion vs Sci-
ence, Creation vs Evolution, Humanism vs Fundamentalism, Darwinism vs the Bible. Over the years a shift came about from cultural Creationism to Cultural Evolutionism. In the wake of the Debate from both sides has come: fear and anger, straw men, name calling and claims that “they are irrational.”
Yet the debate continues to this day.In the saga of this discussion an opportunity to participate in potentially a watershed moment is available.
Two persons who are recog- nized spokespersons for their re- spective positions will debate the subject: “Is creation a viable model of origins in today’s mod- ern, scientific era?”
Leading creation apologist
ALFRED—Rickie Young says he greatly anticipates becoming a Marine Corps officer, a goal he’s trained exten- sively for.
“It would be the biggest accomplish- ment and the biggest honor and responsi- bility I could imagine having at this point in my life,” says Young, a senior at Alfred University (AU). “It’s something I’ve al- ways wanted to do.”
The Marine Corps Officer Candidates School in Quantico, VA trains, evaluates, and ensures candidates possess the moral, intellectual, physical, and leadership val- ues to serve as successful Marine Corps officers. At Officer Candidates School, candidates study topics such as land nav- igation, maneuver tactics and general or- ders, study Marine Corps history, traditions, operations and organization.
Young, from Columbia Cross Roads, PA, took a unique path to achieving his commission. After he wasn’t accepted to the Coast Guard Academy in high school, he decided to attend AU, enticed by the school’s engineering program; he’s a ma- terials science and engineering major.
Maintaining his desire to serve in the mil- itary, he began applying for Officer Train- ing School at the end of his freshman year. After receiving an acceptance letter in his sophomore year, he traveled to Quantico to complete the six-week Pla- toon Leadership Juniors Course and com- pleted the senior level last summer.
Young says his academic work and playing on the AU lacrosse team has helped him build leadership skills.
“Officer Candidate School is about training, screening and evaluating candi-
dates to see if they have those leadership abilities and potentials to be in the Marine Corps,” says Young. “My officer training has taught me ways of focusing and act- ing under stressful conditions, as well as built on my ability to lead others. The (AU) curriculum has proven to be very difficult, and it has made me grow intel- lectually as an individual, as well as build on my teamwork skills by working along- side other engineering students through- out the courses.”
Young says when he graduates from AU, he will receive commission as a sec- ond lieutenant, begin specialized training in Quantico, and then will be stationed somewhere in command of a platoon.
“I am hoping to pick up an occupation in the Marine Corps either in the infantry or military police,” says Young. “After I
complete my commitment of a minimum of four years in the Marine Corps, I may or may not find a career in the engineer- ing field. I am interested in transferring my military experience into a government job such as the state police.”
Young says he’s grateful for his oppor- tunity to serve as an officer and for the support he’s received from his family.
“Being in the Marine Corps is some- thing that’s a lot bigger than you are as a person,” says Young. “My family has backed me through the entirety of the process thus far, and their support has helped greatly. I am very privileged to have the opportunity to be a leader of Marines.”
Young is a son of Timiothy and Carol Young of Columbia Cross Roads and a graduate of Athens Area High School.
and bestselling Christian author Ken Ham is joined at the Cre- ation Museum by popular TV personality and evolution apolo- gist Bill Nye.
Ham, a former science in- structor who emigrated to the USA from Australia over 25 years ago, is joined by the popu- lar children’s program personal- ity Bill Nye “the Science Guy”
for this first and only scheduled debate. Each man delivers what he believes is the best informa- tion currently available for his case. Each then has an opportu- nity for rebuttal and afterward answers questions submitted by the audience…
The debate is to be held in the 900-seat Legacy Hall lecture arena at the Creation Museum (sponsored by Answers in Gen- esis).
This debate will be streamed live at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 4.

“learned while doing,” who served nearly two decades on the College Council of SUNY Col- lege at Alfred, died Thursday, Jan. 23, 2014, at Jones Memorial Hospital in Wellsville of a mas- sive stroke.
Born in Queens, he graduated from Dewitt Clinton High School and served in the U.S.
Navy from 1951-1955.
He was married in 1961 at the Little Church Around The Cor- ner in NYC to Betsy Chubbuck who survives him as do his daughters Julie Bliss of Glouces- ter, MA, Alison Haigis of Tol- land, CT, and Jessica Orlando of Lehigh Acres, FL; grandchil- dren, Jackson and Nina Haigis;
as well as his sister, Gloria Lundberg of Belmont.
He was graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1961, and received a master’s degree in 1968 and a PhD in 1971.
His teaching career began with a 4th grade class in Hamp- ton, CT, then after graduate school, he taught at Penn State from 1970-1972. In 1972, he took a position with Allegany County BOCES to run the new Learning Diagnostic Center and to teach part time at Alfred Uni- versity. He was director of the Special Education Department for Allegany County and contin- ued as Assistant Director after Allegany and Cattaraugus Coun- ties merged their BOCES sys- tems.
He served on the Amity Town Board for two terms, was the Tax Assessor for five years and was Chair of the Board of As- sessment Review for 21 years.
He served on the Alfred State College Council for 16 years and was also appointed to the Edu- cational Foundation of Alfred State College Wellsville Cam- pus.After retiring from BOCES, he had a horseshoeing business for many years and has contin- ued business as an artist black- smith. His handiwork can be seen throughout the area with the handicapped ramp at the David A. Howe Library and the stair rail at the entrance to the Belmont Library being a couple of examples.
His great love was in teaching and he believed in "learning while doing." He taught many
workshops in iron work locally and across the country and vari- ous classes at the John C. Camp- bell Folk School in Brasstown, NC, from 1986 to the present.
According to his wishes, there will be no calling hours. A me- morial service will be planned for a later date.
The family suggests donations may be made to the Amity Res- cue Squad, the Belmont Library or to a charity of their choosing.

We were de- lighted to have the company of my college r o o m m a t e , Paula Friant, from Corning, for two weeks on our sojourn to southwest Texas. We are currently en- joying mild temperatures in the daytime, though nights in the Chi- h u a h u a n Desert con- tinue to be cool enough
that we keep a heater running during the dark hours.
On Thursday, we took Paula 80 miles north to Alpine, Texas, to catch a train to San Diego, California, where her sister lives. We planned our time well enough that we were able to take her to break- fast at a favorite place there, The Bread and Breakfast Cafe'. (See photo) Something I've chuckled over, but only thought of photo- graphing this visit, is the sign in the second photo.
My mother liked to invite friends and family for a New Year’s Eve sing-along, game night, or just sit and visit time. She would arrange a buffet of finger foods and salads. One thing she would al- ways include was tiny wieners in a heated sauce that kids especially liked. The sauce was one she had concocted for regular size hot dogs and was our favorite all summer long too.
The is the sauce. You can cut it down for a one pound package of the little size dogs. Serve with tooth picks to skewer the little guys.
Barbecued Hot Dogs 3 lbs. hot dogs 4 T. sugar 3-4 onions chopped ½ c. vinegar 2 bottles catsup 2 tsp. dry mustard 2½ c. water 3 T. Worstershire sauce
Mix together, then add hot dogs and simmer. Serve hot.

MOUNT TREMPER--Katherine Lynn Horn, 37, of Mount Trem- per passed away peacefully with her husband and family at her side on Monday, January 20, 2014. Katie was born Nov. 12, 1976 in Hor- nell, the daughter of William and Mary Scheer Smith of Almond.
From an early age she was a source of love, strength and support to all that knew her.
Kate grew up in Western NY and attended Alfred-Almond Central School where she was a precocious student and standout varsity level swimmer. She completed both her undergraduate and Master's Degree in Teaching at SUNY Cortland where she met her future hus- band Menachem. After spending some time traveling the country, her profession led her back East to teach at George Mason and H.B.
Woodlawn Middle Schools in Northern Virginia, where she devel- oped her unique teaching style of strengthening reading skills and creating effective readers.
In 2010 Katherine brought these experiences to Margaretville Central School where she was a dedicated and respected tenured teacher. Kate had an infectious enthusiasm for her students and would always go out of her way to find relatable literature to capture the individual student’s imagination, believing students must value reading for information and pleasure alike.
Her expertise was in classical and contemporary young-adult fic- tion, counting Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and Matilda among her many favorites. Outside of the classroom, her fire and spirit en- ergized Margaretville’s drama club, Scitamard, where she served as an advisor for three years. Her passion for literacy and lifelong learn- ing was displayed through continuing education classes at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA, as well as her involvement with the National Reading Association.
Katie appreciated the beauty of nature and the great outdoors, spending much of her free time and summers hiking with her hus- band in the Catskills, through portions of the Appalachian Trail, along the National Mall in Washington, DC, and in the many treas- ured U.S. National Parks out West. Additionally, Kate was a recre- ational runner and member of the Onteora Running Club, and could always find solace after taking a run around the Ashokan Reservoir.
Kate’s home was a great source of pride and she spent many hours tending to the beautiful flower and vegetable gardens around her home. All of these outdoor activities go hand-in-hand with her love of animals, which include the family dogs Buck, Sabrina, and Sandy, as well as a rescued one-eyed cat named Hitch.
Throughout her 5 year battle with cancer, Katie endured unimag- inable struggles, but always maintained her radiant smile and a strength that buoyed those around her. Through the ups and downs, she always expressed an interest in others, showing concern and pro- viding humor to family and friends, as well as the doctors and nurses who helped care for her. Her positive no-nonsense attitude and de- termination was indeed an inspiration to us all.
In August 2013 Kate and Menachem were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Eleanor (Ellie) who brought much joy into their home.
Kate radiated love for Ellie and cherished her role as a mother. In addition to her parents and husband, Katie has two sisters, Jen (Tim) Smith of Alfred Station and Julie (Kyle) McGill of Dillsburg, PA, as well as 12 nieces and nephews.
The Horn and Smith Families would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the entire Margaretville Central School and Alfred-Al- mond communities for their love and support during her time of need. Your many cards and thoughtful gestures were a great source of strength and comfort for Katie and her family.
A memorial service to celebrate the life of Katie will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 22 at the Emerson Resort, Rt. 28, Mt. Trem- per. Arrangements are under the guidance of Mark Wilsey at the E.

TOLERANCE OR EXTREMISM?
YOU BE THE JUDGE
Last week Governor Andrew Cuomo made some controversial comments during a radio inter- view. What exactly did he say? What did he mean by those comments? The most controversial por- tion of his comments were the following: "Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives, who are right to life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay?
Is that who they are? Because if that is who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York. Because that is not who New Yorkers are." Since the inter- view Cuomo’s aides have attempted to explain that Cuomo was not speaking generally about conser- vative New Yorkers, but only about a few “ex- treme politicians” who hold viewpoints and support policies that (he believes) are repugnant to most other New Yorkers.
Unfortunately, it appears that Governor Cuomo is completely out of touch with me and most of the New Yorkers that I know. Perhaps this is the result of an up-state/down-state divergence.
Most of the people that I know are good, moral, hardworking citizens. They are not extremists, and they are not mean-spirited. However, they are def- initely more conservative than Governor Cuomo and many of his down-state supporters.
I am conservative. I, and millions more like me, support traditional American values. We are frequently, but not always, supporters of an in- fant’s “right to life.” We believe the Bill of Rights guarantees us the right to bear arms. We believe the founding fathers of our nation gave us that right to assure that we would never lose our free- dom to an oppressive government. We tend to be religious and believe that there are absolute values that should govern our conduct, whether such val- ues are convenient, easy or popular. We believe that marriage was ordained by God and should be limited to male/female relationships, as the basis for a family. Over the past 25 years I have watched liberals attack and vilify these “mainstream”
American values. Today Governor Cuomo labels those who embrace those values as “conservative extremists.”
Ironically liberals claimed for years that all they wanted was for the conservative majority to be “tolerant” of those with differing values and viewpoints. The French philosopher and author, Francois Voltaire, declared: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Conservative Americans have accepted those with differing viewpoints and values. Con- servative Americans have fought and died to de- fend those liberties, even for those with whom we disagreed. I cannot recall any prominent conser- vative leader telling liberals there is no place in New York for them. What label would be applied to me if I told those who are gay, pro-choice, or anti-gun, that they had no place in New York? Ap- parently “tolerance” is only a one-way street.
Shame on you, Andrew Cuomo. You have be- trayed your liberal heritage. You are the one who is intolerant. I am a loyal and dedicated New Yorker. I have no intention of leaving this great state to you and your intolerant cohorts. You are the extremist. I would welcome the opportunity to engage in a civil dialogue with Governor Cuomo, if he is willing to do so. Freedom is too precious to allow a few strident liberal extremists to steal it away from us.
The Constitution guarantees every citizen’s rights to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to bear arms. Conservatives are not the ones threatening those liberties. It is the liberals who are currently in power in both Washington and Albany. Do you believe your liberties are more secure today than they were 25 years ago? I don’t.
I think its time for freedom loving Americans and New Yorkers to take a stand. Unlike Governor Cuomo, I believe there is a place in New York for people who hold to extreme beliefs, like his. How- ever, that place is not a place of leadership or power. We need new leadership in Albany.

RE: Gene Jacox Roy
‘Triple Divide’ movie
SAFE Act not safe...
Two Tales of Too Cities I. Two Little
A colder town in all the world there isn’t than Yakutsk, Where body heat cannot be found in ears or hands or footsk, And the permafrost is permanent and all the ground is frozen, And no hot springs are springing up to warm your tush or toes in.
On Friday it is forecast to be 42 below,
Fahrenheit or Celsius – makes no difference down that low.
The temperatures in winter there are so extremely frigid
The river’s always frozen so there’s no bridge there to bridge it;
When short-lived summer rolls around and plus-temps hit their limit,
Your only way to cross the melted river is to swim it.
Then winter roars back in again, solidifying water, And making it impossible to live as people oughtter:
You cannot wet your whistle and you cannot spit your spittle;
You’d get “thawed under the collar” – but the temperature’s too little.
II. Two Much
Have Sochi bathrooms been designed to “double patrons’ fun”?!
Cuz you’ll find that there are two seats to a stall, instead of one.
Apparently, the privacy they cannot guarantee Of Olympians or spectators that have to poo or pee
While waiting for the next event to run—er, go—er…finish – Though ’f they’ve gotta go just bad enough, they’ll fastish go and winish!
Y’know, maybe they’re for doubles partners – won’t leave some- one waiting:
For two-man bob or skeleton, or yikes—egad—pairs skating?!
Or maybe for biathletes on a break from where their track is:
There’s one for sitting down on, and there’s one for target prac- tice.
I wonder…will embarrassed be the Cubans or the Haitians, South Africans, Kuwaitis, Indonesians, or Croatians, Mongolians, Nigerians, the British, or the Dutch?
Well …if you’re askin’ me, I say two toilets is too much.
—Two Strange Guessing To the Editor:
Thank you for printing the no- tice of passing of Gene Jacox (Roy) in your January 16, 2014 edition. It brought back a mem- ory I’d like to share.
In 2005-2006 the Alfred-Al- mond Alumni Association was working to establish the Juanita Whitaker Pulos Fine Arts Schol- arship. To support the program, I’d written a biography of my mom and thought I’d covered most bases of her life. Then one morning in early 2006 as I was departing the Uni-Mart and ran into Mrs. Claire Randolph, a col- lege music major (something I
didn’t know), former 2nd grade teacher at AACS, mother of ex- ceptional AACS athletes and community icon.
As I said “Good morning Mrs.
Randolph,” she said “Are you writing your mother’s biogra- phy?” I said (sort of tentatively)
“Yes, I am.” She said “Well, I want to tell you something.” I was clueless for what came next.
Mrs. Randolph told me of a time in the early 1950’s when she, my mom, Mrs. Lillian Jacob (long-time Alfred resident, pi- anist, organist and music teacher) and “Gene Jacox” were all friends and all served together in the First Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church. In 1955, the year I was born, Mrs. Jacob was the church organist and my mom was the choir director.
From Mrs. Randolph I learned the four of them periodically convened at Mrs. Jacob’s home where Mrs. Jacob had two pi- anos. The quartet would play the pianos and called their time to-
gether “Christmas Time.” I can only imagine the happiness and joy that flowed from their 40 fin- gers across that ivory. My mom was still in her twenties; she and Gene Jacox were the same age. I had never been told of these “Al- fred Studio Sessions.” What a uniquely gifted group of musi- cians in one place, 60 years ago.
I offer the following excerpt from the Biography of Juanita Whitaker Pulos (2006):
During the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, Juanita played and sang in many chorales, combos and choruses across a diverse spectrum . . . Another early group included Claire Randolph (a college music major and teacher at Al- fred-Almond), Gene (Jacox) Bur- dick (a graduate of Eastman School of Music who went on to play with the Cleveland Sym- phony) and Mrs. Lillian Jacob, a local piano teacher. The group would meet at Mrs. Jacob’s where she had 2 pianos and the 4 women would play together, calling their time together
“Christmas time”, as a tribute to the beauty of their ritual which went on for about 3 years.
My brother and I are grateful to share this time of recollection and reverence for times long past. We offer our condolences to the extended family of Gene Jacox. Thanks very much. Best wishes to all.
Sincerely, Bill and Robert Pulos – AACS ’73 and ‘75
Letter to the Editor:
In a recent letter to the editor, Gudrun Scott of Andover, sup- ported the passage of the SAFE Act as a means of curbing gun violence in the Empire State; in particular the amount of ammu- nition a gun magazine can hold.
Unfortunately for law abiding New Yorkers the SAFE Act will have no such effect on gun vio-
lence whatsoever.
When I retired we moved to North Carolina in 1991 to escape cold weather, burdening taxes, fuel and insurance costs. It is a decision we’ve never regretted.
When the Concealed Carry Law was passed I applied and after meeting all requirements, which included background checks and a one day mandatory class on safety and use, was issued a per- mit; the permit just wasn’t handed to me.
I have personally witnessed the composition of Concealed Carry classes and can tell you that at least 15% are attended by women. So with all these people possessing hand guns you would think that crime would go up.
But that is not the case.
According to statistics kept by the N.C. Attorney General's Of- fice and reported by State Repre- sentative Mark Hilton (R), the raw number of violent crimes – murders, rapes, robberies and ag- gravated assaults – has dropped.
In 1995, there were 45,016 such crimes throughout the state. In 2010, the last year for which state level data is available, there were 34,033 such crimes.
When those numbers are con- verted into rates that take into ac- count population growth, the violent crime rate dropped from 649 per 100,000 people in 1995 to 374.4 per 100,000 people in 2010. That's a drop of 24.4 per- cent in terms of the raw number of crimes or a drop of 42.3 per- cent drop in the violent crime rate.
The State also has the ‘Castle Doctrine’ which gives the indi- vidual the right to self-defense whether at home or in their vehi- cle when they are in fear of their life or bodily harm.
Those States that promote con- cealed carry laws and support our 2nd Amendment have cre- ated something New Yorkers will never understand. They have cre-
ated a ‘level’ playing field where the criminal element can’t be sure of the outcome of their crime. During the commission of their criminal activity they stand the chance of leaving the scene of the crime in a body bag.
That thought alone stops crime before it happens.
And the SAFE Act? It almost guarantees that the victim will be unarmed.
Respecfully, Louis Call New Bern, North Carolina (Retired from NYS and the FDNY)
To the Editor,
Alfred State’s Sustainability Club is hosting a screening of Triple Divide, a documentary about the impacts of fracking in Pennsylvania, at 7 pm Wednes- day, Feb. 5 in Room 310 of the Student Leadership Center.
The movie, which is co-nar- rated by actor Mark Ruffalo, fea- tures exclusive interviews with the industry, academic experts, and people living near fracking operations. As debate continues about whether to allow fracking in New York, this movie pro- vides an excellent opportunity to learn about how fracking is im- pact our neighbors to the south.
The showing is open to the public and, to encourage people to come out and see the film, we’re making it free. We hope village residents will join us at this important event.
Sincerely, Julian Dautremont-Smith The Alfred Sun welcomes let- ters to the editor. For best re- sults, please keep your letter
“brief and amazing.”

ALFRED--The Fosdick-Nel- son Gallery at Alfred University is proud to present New Mythologies: Supernatural
Lydia Anne McCarthy and Grant Willing.
The exhibition, curated by Lydia Anne McCarthy, will open with an artist’s reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31 and will be on view through Feb. 23, 2014.
Sarah Anne Johnson will pres- ent an Artist’s Talk prior to the opening reception, at 4:30 p.m.
Friday, Jan. 31 in Nevins The- atre, Powell Campus Center, on the AU campus.
Lydia Anne McCarthy and Scott Alario will give a Gallery Talk at 12 noon Wednesday, Feb.
12 at the Fosdick-Nelson Gallery. All events are free and open to the public.
The artists in the exhibition re- imagine the Nordic landscape, using photography to create al- ternate realities that both dazzle and quietly threaten. Inspired by the stark environment, extremes of dark and light, folklore, per- sonal history and contemporary culture, each artist eschews the bounds of the traditional photo- graph in exchange for an exper- imental, manipulated approach, constructing place and disorient- ing the viewer. While the tools used are varied, each artist’s work alludes to the uncertainty of our present moment and its convergence with the past.
The Fosdick-Nelson Gallery is located on the third floor of Harder Hall on the Alfred Uni- versity campus. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1-3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. For more information about this show or upcoming events visit the web- site at: fosdicknelson.alfred.edu or contact the gallery director, Sharon McConnell at mc- [email protected].
HORNELL—Local artist Angela To of Hornell has loaned a col- lection of her original paintings to St. James Mercy Hospital for dis- play in the lobby and emergency room hallway.
A professor of art at Alfred University, To has exhibited her work throughout the state and regionally including venues at Chautauqua Institution, Cazenovia College, Jamestown Community College, and various galleries in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Canada.
“We are delighted to display the work of an artist of Ms. To’s cal- iber for our patients and visitors,” said Sylvia Bryant, VP Mission Integration and Community Outreach. “This is the third art exhibit at SJMH in the last year, and we appreciate the local art commu- nity’s willingness to loan their work to enhance our facility.”
To’s paintings demonstrate expressive brushwork and a surreal quality of light. “The images are developed through layering riotous color with ordered pattern,” she said. “My recent work includes botanical silhouettes with lush backgrounds, created with layers of acrylic paint on birch plywood and finished with epoxy resin, pro- ducing a very durable and luminous finish.”
A native of Hong Kong, To studied fine art at Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Canada, and later earned her Masters of Fine Arts from Ohio State University.
She remained in the United States to pursue her burgeoning studio practice and a teaching career. Her work is collected in the U.S. and Canada, and she has a studio in Hornell. The paintings will be on display at the hospital through early spring.

WELLSVILLE—The Prickers will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Wellsville Creative Arts Center. Advance tickets are

A Prickers show begins with a stomp and a holler. With each measure the intensity builds into a swirling vortex that seemingly spans time. Those in attendance don’t grapple with the whens and the whys. Despite its antiquated veneer, The Prickers is a band that’s all about the here and now.
The sound of this group based from Naples, New York is a colli- sion of marching band brass, back porch banjo frailing, burning boots kickin’, old-skool hip-hop kick drum thumpin,’ saloon ragtime piano pounding, guitar strumming and lyrical song writing that the band has recently coined “Cluster Folk."
The music has roots in every corner of the musical garden…no stone is left unturned. The band like its namesake can be a tangled wall of sound one moment and a delicately complex form the next.
The songs are haunting at times, drawing from life’s curved roads, meandering and pondering the many plights of modern life, and other times the music is a ruckus rowdy jamboree complete with the classic fiddle banjo backbone that makes it so hard to sit down.
The evolution of the band continues. With the release of their sec- ond full length album “Great Big Hearts,” the band consciously recreated their sound, bringing in a multitude of different instru- ments to compliment the new material.
Harmonium, baritone and tabla make appearances on songs along with piano, banjo, trumpet, sousaphone, guitar, fiddle and drums that have been the bands favorite instruments over the last few years.
While paying homage to some of the great traditional music, The Prickers have never been purveyors of tradition. The excitement is in the play between the two worlds of future and past, and never becoming too rooted to any one form or style.

New Happenings at the Almond Library
By CECiLy HArDy, Aide
Happy almost-February from the Almond library! We have an- other full calendar this coming month—our focus for February is Love for Our Community. We started in that vein a little early: we held our first Community Coffee hour on Monday, Jan. 27—Na- tional Chocolate Cake Day! This will be a regular occurrence at 10 a.m. on the fourth Monday of every month. We hope to see you there!
Your whole family is invited to celebrate Take Your Child to the Library Day with us on Saturday, Feb. 1, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Create memories together: enjoy exploring your child’s passions, play board games, be creative with our craft ideas and supplies, read a story, or even watch a movie (complete with snacks). Reminisce about your favorite childhood books—and let us know! This would also be the perfect opportunity for those in the family who may not have library cards yet to get one!
As always, Preschool Storytime on is Monday at 10 a.m. – give your child an opportunity to enjoy some reading, singing, and play- ing. And Friday continues the Writers’ Maker’s Space with Mary Jane Essex: an informal place for writers to share their work and in- dulge their creativity.

ALFRED--Lions Clubs around the world are known for many things, particularly service projects that meet the needs of the local and larger community.
One, not so well-known, serv- ice that your Alfred Lions pro- vide is to maintain an inventory of medical equipment that is available to anyone that has a medical need. We have in our in- ventory gently-used crutches, canes, various walkers, wheel- chairs, bath and transfer benches, commodes, bed rails, grip poles, and even a hospital bed.These are available to borrow for any length of time, free of charge. We also accept dona- tions of new/gently used equip- ment to add to our lending inventory.
Long-time committee mem- bers have commented that we have lent hundreds of pieces to those in need. If you have a piece of medical equipment that you need or want to donate, please contact one of your Al- fred Lions on the Medical Equipment Team: Chuck Schultz, Robert Riber, Kelly Williams, Cathy Johnson, or Lions President Brad Bowden to arrange to pick up, drop off, or to view our inventory.
Alfred Pharmacy (587-9222) maintains a list of the contact in- formation for the Lions Medical Equipment Team members.

The Alfred Lions wishes to THANK Nicole, Avery, Kathryn, Destiny, Abimbola, and Steph from ASC for assisting in the mov- ing, cleaning, and restocking of the medical equipment inven- tory as part of the MLK Community Service Days sponsored by Alfred University and Alfred State College. These 6 ladies as- sisted the Lions Medical Equipment team in making sure the equipment available to the community was clean and in working order. We couldn’t have done it without you!
