A concerted community effort resulted in construction of the Mike Kenyon Park a couple of decades ago. A similar effort is desired to restore and upgrade the park. (Photo provided) ALFRED--Mike Kenyon
Park, located in the heart of downtown Alfred, is in need of a little tender loving care.
Many readers will remember the huge campaign 20 years ago involving community efforts to plan and implement building this wonderful playground. With community input and labor, the structure is still solid today but over time has become worn, with certain elements non-func- tional, and parts broken or miss- ing.
Mike Kenyon Park was built by the loving hands of a commu- nity and thanks to advocates for the health and safety of our chil- dren, the structure intentionally features wood that was not pres- sure treated with arsenic, which at the time was not an EPA or AWPA standard. Consequently, the elements have taken their toll, and the aging playground is in need of some upkeep and re- furbishment.
Alfred Montessori School, which is adjacent to the park, is planning its well renowned Art Auction for Saturday, April 5 and will be donating proceeds from this year’s auction to the
restoration of Mike Kenyon Park.
In collaboration with the Vil- lage of Alfred, the original play- ground designers were consulted regarding the project. Leathers and Associates have guided many communities through ren- ovations of their original designs and, after visiting our site, will be providing direction.
The Leathers refurbishment options will be on display at the Alfred Montessori School Art Auction, and will present a range of upgrades, at a range of costs. The final refurbishment will be directly related to the funds raised by the Art Auction.
The ongoing work of Leathers can be seen at leathersandasso- ciates.com.
The Alfred Montessori Art Auction will be held at the Al- fred Village Hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 5. A pre- view hour will begin at 10 a.m.
with live auction beginning at 11 a.m. There will be a silent auc- tion throughout and tickethold- ers will be treated to brunch appetizers, beverages and live music during the preview hour.
All items will be handmade,
$1.25
and will have a wide range in value and price point. Ticket do- nation price is $15 or 2/$25. To purchase please call 607-587- 9334 or go to www.alfred- montessori.com where you can reserve and pay for tickets.
Auction items generously do- nated by area and nationally rec-
ognized artists including Faculty of NYS College of Ceramics, Allegany Artisans, local area artists, local merchants and friends of Montessori. To make an art contribution please con- tact AmyPowers at am- [email protected] or go to www.alfredmontessori.com.
The Alfred community is one with a strong history of generos- ity and support. On this 20th an- niversary of the Mike Kenyon Playground, Alfred Montessori calls upon the friends of Alfred to help improve our village once again, and collect a little art along the way!
ALFRED–On Saturday, Jan. 25, Al- fred State and Alfred University stu- dents braved the cold for a good cause—heading out into the commu- nity in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy of social justice and civic engagement for their annual MLK Jr. Dream Week Day of Service.
“Students served in Alfred, Almond, Belmont, Wellsville, and Hornell,”
said Jonathan Hilsher, director of the Center for Civic Engagement at Alfred State. “Approximately 140 students, faculty, and staff participated in this event, including the Alfred State base- ball team, Alfred University tennis team, and Greek organizations. Presi- dent and Mrs. Sullivan also took time to lend a hand in the effort.”
College students, faculty, and staff worked on 16 separate projects, which included the Alfred Lions Club, food pantries, Wellsville Community Kitchen, Almond 20th Century Li- brary, Allegany ARC, and buildings on both campuses. Volunteers painted rooms, made treats, visited with the elderly and disabled, cleaned and or- ganized, and connected with local
nonprofits.
“It was sincerely appreciated. Our school is now shining and sparkling,”
said Carman Banzaca, executive direc- tor of the Alfred Montessori School.
“The children and staff will be so thrilled.” This event rounded out a week of programming on both cam- puses in commemoration of the holi- day and its namesake.
“Two of the most important out- comes of this event are the relationship building and fostering greater aware- ness of the challenges and opportuni- ties in our larger community. I definitely see this day as a launching point for further civic involvement by our students,” Jonathan said.
Alfred State and Alfred University were recently awarded a New York Campus Compact 2014 MLK Colle- giate Challenge Grant. Only a dozen schools in the state received the honor.
Both institutions will collaboratively use the funds to honor the life of Dr.
King by inspiring students to serve and helping members of the community to work together to address community challenges.

It is with great sadness that the Allegany Artisans mourn the sudden passing of one of their signature members, Charles Orlando. Charley had been an active member of the Allegany Artisans for 25 years. He became an Allegany Artisan in 1988, participated in Annual Studio Tours, served on the Board of Directors numerous times and served as President for several terms.
Charley was also a mentor for many other members, which reflects his career as a teacher, professor and education administrator. There he was known as “Charles Orlando, Ph.D.”
Most of us knew him as Charley – the artisan with the anvil. Then, it was Orlando Forge, at the top of one of the roughest driveways in Belmont. But Charley was not constrained by being a blacksmith. He offered his intricate hand-knit sweaters and his innovative tin can folk art and jewelry during the Studio Tour as well.
“We will miss him,” states Allegany Artisan President Stephen Walker. “He and Betsy often hosted our annual Artisan Picnic. He was always on the Studio Tour, except when he was teaching black- smithing at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina. He was one of our most talented, ionnovative and spirited artisans, and words cannot express how saddened we are at his passing.”

On January 27 and 28, 2014, we were monitoring, from our RV in Terlingua (Study Butte), Texas, the national weather. Looking at both the radar and the surface patterns, we saw a huge, sweeping crescent, beginning in the New England states where snow was falling. The pattern coursed through the Mid-Atlantic states, then curved across the South to Texas, the precipitation changing to rain in the warmer states. Looking at surface conditions we saw that the generator of this interesting pattern was a very long stationary front, which ended just east of us here in southwest Texas.
This week's photo is of the very end of that phenomenon which we "shared," in an odd way, with loved ones a couple thousand miles away. That cloud edge, with East on the left, persisted for a good share of the morning. We received neither rain nor snow, here in the very dry Chihuahuan Desert. To the West (left) was clear blue sky, all the way to the mountains.
The electric slow cooker, or crock pot, came into use in the early 1970’s. It was popular up into the 1990’s and then other kinds of cooking devices, such as the convection oven, took over the popu- larity. But for the last year, I have been seeing more and more recipes published that call for the use of the crockpot. I suppose this is due mostly to the fact that you can use much cheaper kinds of meat in these recipes and today’s cooks have decided to ease their budgets while still feeding their families delicious meals and with a minimum of effort.
This recipe is from a small cookbook entitled The Best Slow Cooker Cookbook Ever by Natalie Haughton. Be sure to give your- self even more help by using a disposable liner for the crockpot.
Beef Stroganoff
2 lbs. beef top round steak ¾ c. canned beef broth
½ lb. white mushrooms, sliced ¾ tsp. dry mustard 1 bunch of scallions, chopped ¼ tsp. garlic powder 1 med. onion, sliced 1½ c. sour cream
¼ tsp. dried thyme leaves ½ c. quick-mixing flour, such
¾ c. dry sherry. as Wondra
Trim the beef of all fat and cut into thin slices across the grain.
Place in slow cooker. Add mushrooms, scallions, onion, thyme, sherry, broth, dry mustard, and garlic powder. Mix well. Cover and cook on low heat about 8 hours, or the beef is tender, stirring once.
Increase the setting to high. Mix together the sour cream and flour until thoroughly blended. Stir a little of the hot liquid from the slow cooker into the sour cream mixture, then stir the mixture into the cooker, mixing well. Cover and cook on high 30-40 minutes, or until thickened slightly.

ALFRED—Dr. Gary Ostrower, professor of his- tory at Alfred University (AU), will present “Al- fred’s Nazi” during the next lecture of the ongoing Bergren Forum series. His presentation will take place on Thursday, Feb. 6, at 12:10 p.m. in Nevins Theater, Powell Campus Center. The program is open to the public free of charge.
“In 1939, an all-American kid from Ohio re- nounced his U.S. citizenship, then joined the Nazi Party and broadcast war propaganda for Hitler during World War II,” said Ostrower in setting the stage for his presentation. “In 1958, AU hired him to teach German. This (Ostrower’s forum talk) is his strange story.”
Currently the Joseph K. Kruson Distinguished Professor at the University, Ostrower is an AU alumnus. He earned a bachelor of arts degree in history at AU and a master of arts degree and Ph.D. in history from the University of Rochester.
He has spent most of his teaching career at Alfred, but previously taught at Vassar College and the University of Pennsylvania.
An active member of the academic community,
Ostrower has served as president of the Society for the Study Society of Internationalism; as a Ful- bright Lecturer at Aarhus University, Denmark;
authored three books; and contributed articles to encyclopedias and historical journals, including International Organization and The Historian. In addition, he has reviewed many books for histori- cal journals such as the American Historical Re- view and the Journal of American History.
Ostrower has also remained a prominent mem- ber of the surrounding community. He served as mayor of Alfred from 1999 to 2005 and as a Re- publican member of the Village Board of Trustees for 18 years. He has previously served as a county liaison to the NYS Assembly and has been a mem- ber of the Allegany County Youth Board for 28 years.
The Bergren Forum, sponsored by the Alfred University Division of Human Studies in the Col- lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences, meets Thurs- days during each academic semester. Participants are encouraged to bring a lunch; coffee and tea will be available.

STEADY (BUT LOW-KEYED) PROGRESS The past week was a strange one. My usual schedule was disrupted by my second cataract eye surgery on Tuesday, January 28th. There were two additional follow-up visits, as well as recovery time. I didn’t miss any County meetings, but lost a great deal of office time. Thankfully, both eyes are recovering well, and I am now experiencing a brighter, sharper world than I have seen for many years. My partner, Richard Buck, and staff have kept the law practice going and kept me advised of critical issues and events. My colleagues on the Board of Legislators have been supportive and helpful. I have much to be thankful for, including the skill of the surgeon, the care and assistance of my wife, the support of my office staff, and the prayers and thoughts of many of you. It has been a challenging, but good, experience.
The second regular monthly meeting of the Board of Legislators was held on Monday, January 27th. All Legislators were present. Former Air Force Sergeant Robert Cornell led us in the Pledge of Allegiance. He served from 1967 to 1971, in- cluding a tour of duty in Vietnam. I am continually impressed and humbled by the dedication and service of our citizens who have sacrificially de- fended and protected our nation. Following the Pledge a Public Hearing was convened to receive public comments regarding Agricultural District
#2. No one appeared or spoke regarding the pro- posed extension of that “Ag District.” Privilege of the Floor was given to recognize the military serv- ice of Robert Cornell, and to Health Director Lori Ballengee to report on the new internet site set up for various Health Department programs.
Chairman Curt Crandall made a number of important appointments to various County boards and agencies. He appointed Vicki Grant to the AC- CORD Board; appointed Joseph Budinger to the County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board; made appointments to the Fish and Wildlife Management Board; and appointed Celeste Schoonover to the Workforce Investment Board.
Human Services Committee Chair Kevin LaForge appointed Reita Sobeck-Lynch to the ACCORD Board.
The Legislature considered fourteen separate resolutions. Resolution #28-14 appointed Charles Jessup to the Office For Aging Citizens Advisory Council. Resolution #29-14 reappointed four in- cumbent members and one new member to the County Traffic Safety Board. Resolutions #30-14,
#31-14 and #32-14 authorized construction of new bridges in the Towns of Ward, Granger and Hume.
Resolutions #33-14, #34-14, #35-14 and #36-14 re-appropriated unexpended funds from the NYS Office of Homeland Security, from ACCORD Corporation, from the Governor’s Traffic Safety Program, and from the NYS STOP-DWI Associa- tion. Resolution #37-14 approved an agreement with the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Serv- ices that will pay the Allegany County Probation Department a fee for every ignition inter-lock de- vice installed on a vehicle pursuant to a court order. Resolution #38-14 approved an agreement with Wyoming County for housing their prisoners in our jail. Resolution #39-14 approved a lease be- tween the County and SJM Properties, Inc., for premises at 35 Glen Street, in Alfred. That lease will save money and provide better facilities to the County Health Department.
Two resolutions had not been pre-filed but were brought up for consideration by the Board.
Both resolutions received unanimous approval.
Resolution #40-14 continued Agricultural District
#2 with modifications. Resolution #41-14 ac- cepted the insurance proposal of NYMIR for var- ious types of insurance coverage. The annual cost will be $240,635.60. That represents a savings of
$4,171.28 from the prior year’s premium. By pur- chasing insurance through NYMIR (a municipal cooperative program) we have saved thousands of dollars over recent years. It isn’t flashy, but the savings are significant.
Much of the work of County Legislators is boring and frustrating. It isn’t exciting or spectac- ular. However, that drudgery work (usually done in Committees) is crucial to achieving savings and improved efficiency. It may not get much media attention, but our Board does a good job of pinch- ing pennies. That is good for taxpayers.

The Year the Broncos Lost the Pennant Why Not Russ?Or,
That Sportsing Boll commenced with some brown hand-egg fly- ing past
A sportster’s flailing hands – all sportsing-watchers gasped aghast;
But the sportster’s spheric face-bar thing obscured light-ray de- tection,
So he failed to redirect, deflect, correct the egg’s trajection.
The sportsters chased the bumbled egg, determinedly to pop it, Till skinny men in striped shirts shrilling whistles made them stop it.A milling mass-confusingness immediately ensued,
But milling quit when massing sportsters somehow felt the mood.
They set the egg upon not-grass and formed a tessellation, In different rows according to their bi-chromatization, An arty-artsy ostentation lovely to behold…
Till all at once they’re tumbled, topsy-turved, and roly-poled.
And what happened to the hand-egg? Hey! That orange-clad sportster flung it
To a flabbergasted bird-head one, who catched the egg and clung it.So nice of them to share the egg, and back-and-forthing pass it – Though right before the whistlers shrill, they feel they must en mass it.
The Sportsing Boll thus on continued, sportsters keeping time To drumbeats beating beats unheard without a reason’s rhyme.
But finally, endward shrilling shrilled of horsemen losing zest;
Cuz when it comes to sportsing hand-eggs…sea-birds sports the best.

15, 2013, Governor Cuomo’s ad- ministration, acting through the NYS Workers’ Compensation Board, closed 8 WCB hearing sites for injured workers in NYS:
Riverhead, Queensbury, Canton, Oneonta, Monticello, Geneva, Niagara Falls and Hornell.
Hornell is one of four sites where hearings were held in a State Office Building, at no charge to NYS. Nevertheless,
“saving money” is the reason for closing this site.
My take is that Governor Cuomo and the WCB are hurting the very people the Governor professes to protect; the working
poor, the injured, the handi- capped and the disenfranchised.
By closing this site to rural claimants, the Governor and the WCB are forcing rural, injured workers to drive to either Elmira, Jamestown or Rochester for their workers comp hearings (trials).
Many of those people affected were hurt earning minimum wage; their compensation rate is sometimes $ 100.00 or less (per week!); and now they are being forced to travel with no reim- bursement and are being forced to cope with unfamiliar environ- ments.
It’s patently unfair to the peo- ple least able to respond and least able to protect themselves.
Criminals in New York receive better treatment than the injured workers whose taxes are used for the criminals. Every county has a Family Court, County Court, Surrogate Court, Supreme Court.
I’ve wrote a letter January 31, 2014 and sent it along with sup- porting documents to Governor Cuomo opposing the closing of the WCB hearing site here in
Hornell.
Our position is supported by Congressman Reed, Senators O’Mara and Young and M/A Nojay, Giglio and Palmesano, all of whom signed letters; in addi- tion to Mayor Hogan in Hornell who has offered space to the WCB for hearings at no charge.
It’s been a bi-partisan effort since last fall and impacts people in Al- legany, Steuben and Livingston counties. The attachment shows that all WCB constituencies unanimously oppose this move;
employers, employees and insur- ance companies.
I’m not going to let this issue die for rural Western New York.
You can take that to the bank.
Anything you can do to bring this issue to light would help. All of this is on the record.

To the Editor,
After reading a recent issue of the Sun with the headline about
‘bicycle friendly AU,’ I went to my family history file and dug out the enclosed copy, dating back to 1995.
[Editor’s Note: The writer enclosed an Oct. 23, 1995 clip- ping from the Hornell Evening Tribune. The article follows, in italics.]
Tim Tripp, a 1974 Hornell High School graduate, recently completed a coast-to-coast bicy- cle tour.
The HHS record-setting swim- mer participated in the Pacific- Atlantic-Cycling (PAC) Tour, which spanned 2,900 miles. The cyclists covered the distance of 22 days.
Tim is the son of Bob and Lee Tripp of Hornell.
The PAC tour cyclists traveled from the Pacific Ocean to the At- lantic, starting from San Diego,
Calif., and finishing in Charleston, S.C.
Tripp trained with several world class cyclists who were among the tour group.
The tour, which attracted rid- ers from all walks of life from many states, as well as those from Belgium, Wales, Sweden, Canada, Australia and Norway, was an exercise in stamina.
Temperatures on the tour ranged from 120 degrees in the desert states to 49 degrees in Tennessee, where they missed Hurricane Opal’s effects by a few hours.
There were two husband and wife teams on tandem cycles and one father and son team. Also on a tandem, with a woman cycler, was the first blind person to ride completely across the U.S.
Tripp was greeted at the end of the tour at Folly Beach, S.C. by his wife, his parents, his sister and her husband, his grand- mother and two aunts, all of which participate din the Finish Banquet.
Tripp is an administrative po- lice seargeant with the Westmin- ster, Colorado Police Department. He is a graduate of Alfred University and is working on his master’s degree. He teaches specialized courses in criminal science at the Univer- sity of Colorado at Boulder.
He is the director of the DARE program and is in charge of news releases to the media and several training programs in the depart- ment.
This article is now 18 years old and a few things have changed within the write-up.
Tim graduated from Alfred University in 1979 and became Police Officer for a short time in Canisteo. He then moved to Den- ver, Colorado when my brother needed a guardian for his large
business.
Tim liked Colorado and took Denver City exam for Police Force and wound up with one of the highest exam marks ever recorded. He chose to start his duty in Westminster, which at the time was a 50,000 populated city, but grew in the time Tim was there to 150,000. Several new huge factories grew the popula- tion and from a sergeant, Tim be- came a lieutenant, then a 1st Commander which was second in command.
Tim’s mom, Lee, has passed and he has now retired and owns one of the top ten picture framing operations in the United States.
He does all th framing for Harley Davidson, the U.S. Air Force in Colorado Springs and his build- ing is as large as the Wegmans store in Hornell.
There were 75 cyclists on this cross country ride. They started in San Diego with the rear wheel in the Pacific then finished in Folly Beach, S.C. with the front wheel in the Atlantic.
Along with Tim’s cycling sports activity, he was a record- breaking swimmer at Hornell High and a century runner in Colorado, also while a Police Of- ficer.
Now as Alfred University be- comes more well known as a cy- cling school, they can follow the cross country example of Tim Tripp, grad from AU.
Thanks,

HORNELL--Music lovers take note: The Hornell Area Wind Ensemble will present a free concert, “Where No Band Has Gone Before,” at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 8 at the Hornell High School. (snow date: 3 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 9) Co-Conductors Edward Belin and Christopher Lynn have put together a musi- cal program which will transport you to the moon and back, from Star Wars to Mars, the planet of war.If you wish to turn this event into a dinner/theater experience, fine dining will be available be- fore the concert in the Hornell High School Cafeteria at 5:30 p.m. (snow date for the dinner:
1:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9.) This dinner is a fund raiser for Faith In Action, a coalition of congre- gations and civic volunteer groups formed to serve the eld- erly, assisting them to continue living independently. Dinner tickets, $20 per person, are available by calling FIA (324- 1138) or Pat Wiggers (324- 1235.) by Feb. 1. Dinner music will be provided by Mr. Bill Loree at the grand piano, and Sterling Brass, a quintet of Wind Ensemble members.
dience, the Wind Ensemble will play Symphonic Suite from Star Trek. It incorporates the themes of most recent Star Trek films and the original series. Feel free to raise your hand in Mr. Spock's Vulcan greeting of Live Long and Prosper.
The grand finale, Godzilla Eats Las Vegas, is an original work by Eric Whitacre, and is best described in the composer's own words as “really out there.”
It combines theater, film, and TV in an unforgettable work.
You'll see the dreaded monster, along with Frank Sinatra and many other Vegas favorites.
You'll hear screams of terror and yaps of defiance from a terrified little dog. A multimedia presen- tation enhances this entire expe- rience. To quote co-conductor Belin “The audience should think of it as a sound track for a Godzilla movie that has never been and should never be made!”
This concert is made possible in part with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts' Decentralization Pro- gram, and administered locally by the ARTS' Council of the Southern Finger Lakes.
ALFRED– The Hinkle Li- brary at Alfred State is pleased to present the work of noted western New York artist Betsy Kent during the month of February. The exhibit will feature her watercolor paint- ings and painted silk pieces.
Kent studied art at Syra- cuse University, graduating in 1996. While there she par- ticipated in a semester abroad in Florence, Italy, and it was there she learned the technique of painting on silk.
Her art is “inspired by the light, color, contours, and vi- tality present in the natural world,” she says. She draws much creative energy from the
“shape, strength, variety, and metamorphosis…” of trees,
ALFRED--The Schein-Joseph International Museum at Alfred University (AU) will host an exhibition titled “Pour” from Thursday, Feb. 6 through March 28 on the top floor of Binns-Mer- rill Hall. The museum will open this exhibition with a reception from 4:30 to 6 p.m. today (Thurs- day, Feb. 6.) The public is welcome.
The museum is open Wednesdays-Fridays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
The special exhibition will feature ceramic pieces from the museum’s permanent collection with additions from invited artists, Julia Galloway, AU class of 1988; Hide Sadohara; and Sanam Emami, AU ’02. The exhibition focuses on pour- ing vessels such as teapots, pitchers, ewers, bot- tles, pouring bowls and a soup tureen with its ladle made for daily use, and in some cases, special oc- casions. Susan Kowalczyk, the museum’s collec- tion manager, serves as the exhibit’s curator.
Contemporary artists with work in the perma- nent collection are Fred Bauer; Peter Beasecker, AU class of 1987; Mark Burns; Larry Bush; the late Val Cushing AU ’52; Malcolm Davis; Josh DeWeese AU ’91; Ryan Greenheck AU ’04; Mike Helke AU ’11; Coille Hooven; Clay Illian; Ole

David Reagan; Don Reitz AU ’63; Lee Rexrode;
Phil Rogers; Carol Rohrbach; the late David Shaner ’59; Linda Sikora; Richard St. John; Akio Takamori AU ’78; Ellen Shankin AU ’77; Cindy Sherman; Eric Van Eimeren; Peter Voulkos; Todd Wahlstrom ’95; Bruce Winn; and Beatrice Wood.
Historic pieces from the collection include a pitcher by Henry Varnum Poor, a group of English Staffordshire Ware pitchers with transfer images, a Rhinehardt Pottery jug, a Russel Wright ewer, an Edwin and Mary Scheier pitcher, a German Bel- larmine jug, a Nigerian water bottle, a bottle from the Mississippian culture, and a Mexican Tiatilco bottle.
The Schein-Joseph International Museum of Ceramic Art at Alfred houses nearly 8,000 ceramic and glass objects, ranging from small pottery shards recovered from ancient civilizations to con- temporary sculpture and installation pieces to ad- vanced ceramics reflecting the cutting edge of ceramic technology. The museum is a teaching and research facility, one educational component of the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.
REBECCA WEAVER HAMM
The concert will begin in the High School Auditorium at 7:30.
John Williams composed the music for all films in the Star Wars saga. From this series you'll hear one movement, the ominous “Imperial March.” It's the dark and foreboding theme of Darth Vader! In stark contrast, the overture from Le Voyage Dans La Lune (a trip to the moon) by Jacques Offenbach, is from an operetta and is wonder- fully light and playful. This piece was transcribed by our own resident composer, co-con- ductor Christopher Lynn.
Stanley Kubrick used themes from Thus Spake Zarathustra, by Richard Strauss, in his film 2001: A Space Odyssey, to in- voke new frontiers. You'll recog- nize this dramatic, masterful piece. Gustav Holst wrote a 7 movement orchestral suite with each movement named for a planet. The suite incorporates his ideas and emotions associated with the influence of the planets on our psyches. From The Plan- ets you'll hear the first move- ment “Mars” which evokes its namesake, Mars, the Roman god of war.
For all the Trekkies in the au-
ALFRED–Soprano Rebecca Weaver Hamm and pianist Patricia Wiggers will present “A Winter’s Tale,” a faculty guest recital, at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9 in Alfred University’s (AU) Susan Howell Hall.
The recital is free and open to the public with a reception by the music faculty to follow.
Drawing from the rich world of art, “A Winter’s Tale” takes the audience on a journey from the stark loneliness of winter to the lush- ness of high summer with songs by Samuel Barber, Johannes Brahms, and Roger Quilter. “A Winter’s Tale” brings together many of Hamm’s favorite songs, both staples of her own repertoire ad songs that she has taught but not yet sung.
The songs, largely by American and English composers, visit the poetry of A.E. Housman, Robert Frost, William Shakespeare, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson. While they run the gamut from Brahms’ lush Romantic “Lieder” to Jake Heggie’s contemporary take on a familiar folksong, these songs all touch upon the common themes of human- ity: love, loss, hope, and wonder.
Weaver Hamm is an adjunct instructor of voice at AU and director of music and arts at the Hornell YMCA. She is completing doctoral studies at the Eastman School of Music.

What is the one word that pops into your head when you hear the word library? Books? I am willing to bet 90 percent of the readers thought books, 8 percent thought story time and the other 2 thought of the staff. Libraries today are full of so much more than storytimes, and books.

‘where no band has gone before’
which she has been painting for much of her adult life.
Kent lives and works on her family farm in Andover along with her husband and three
young sons, so finding the time to practice her art is not always
easy.
She notes that “the con- trast between silk painting and watercolor allows me to stay balanced. While one is fast and fluid, the other is slow and controlled. For me, it is all about the process.
The end product is just a bonus.”
Kent creates her art in a quiet barn studio built on her property. She also teaches art classes for local children and adults. In November 2011, Ms. Kent showed her work at a solo show at the Artists Knot Gallery in Andover.

Life. The Berklee College of Music graduates and Brooklyn natives will release their debut album Oh, What a Life on March 4, 2014.
• Hip hop/ R&B artist Mack Wilds, whose debut album New York: A Love Story was nomi- nated for a 2014 Grammy with his single Own It still rising up the R&B charts. Mack has gained notoriety for his role on television shows such as The Wire, the re-launched 90210, and the film Red Tails.
• Country artist Greg Bates, whose two hits Did It for the Girl and Fill in the Blank re- ceived heavy rotation on country radio stations. Did It for the Girl peaked at #5 and was nominated for Single of the Year at the 2013 American Country Awards.
• Indie pop band Mister- Wives, whose recent single Re- flections was named I-Tune’s
“heat seeker hit of the week” and
MTV Buzzworthy declared the industry “ready to crown them the next golden children of pop.”
• Rounding out the line-up will be the What Cheer?
Brigade, a “19-piece brass band from Providence, RI with an ag- gressive mix of Bollywood, The Balkans, New Orleans, Samba and Hip-Hop, played with the intensity of metal.”
• Boston’s Hunting Stories, described as “upbeat, harmo- nious bluegrass set to the rhythm of a raucous kick drum.”
Over 100 volunteers are needed to produce a successful show. Community members, faculty, staff, and students are sought to help provide a safe and enjoyable evening of entertain- ment.
