Food truck a solution to closing of MacKenzie for renovations
ALFRED–Food truck mania will sweep over Alfred State this fall, ushered in by the arrival of
“The Feast Beast,” the college’s first mobile dining venue.
Alfred State President Dr.
Skip Sullivan drove the Beast through the inaugural blue rib- bon, Monday, June 13, signaling the arrival of the 24-foot truck.
The Beast, which will serve ex- clusively on the Alfred State campuses and property, will offer signature sandwiches and hand-crafted burgers and salads.
The food truck is owned and op- erated by Auxiliary Campus En- terprises and Services, Inc.
(ACES), the not-for-profit cor- poration that provides dining services on campus.
“The multi-year renovation of the MacKenzie Complex has forced us to close one of the most popular eateries on cam- pus,” explained ACES Execu- tive Director David Sengstock.
“We had to come up with a flex- ible solution that would fill the needs of students who will be looking for convenient dining choices. Our new food truck provides us the ability to be any- where on campus and with the equipment onboard, we can
serve a tremendous variety of menu items.”
The truck, designed by Cus- tom Mobile Food Equipment, with graphics created by Lonowood Art Company, was available for tours at its debut.
Students, faculty, and staff are already lining up for the oppor- tunity to see and taste what “The Feast Beast” has to offer.
“My friends and I are so ex- cited to jump into food truck cui- sine,” said Kaitlin Johnson, a culinary arts major from Fredo- nia. “Even though it’s only June, I’m ready for August already. I loved the chance to see the in- side of the truck before ACES started using it.“
“The Beast will really up the
‘fun factor’ for student dining,”
said Denise Brownell, director of Dining Services. “We de- signed the truck for maximum flexibility because we want to be able to respond to student feed- back and change menu items easily. ACES is confident that students are going to be excited when they see the food truck on campus.”
Students will be able to use their meal plan to dine from the food truck by purchasing a value meal option, or by using Dining Dollars or Campus Spending

ALFRED—Dr. Robert A. Myers, AU professor of anthropology and public health, was interviewed last week by Edgar B. Herwick III, host of
“The Curiosity Desk” at WGBH Boston public radio (89.7) about the way our language is so loaded with gun-based expressions.
One of WGBH’s partner programs, Public Radio International’s “The World,” also aired the segment nation- ally Wednesday afternoon. (“The World” airs on WBFO 88.7, Buffalo.) Herwick wrote an online piece based on the interview – “How gun culture permeates our everyday lan- guage” - using Myers’ remarks. It be- gins:
“Have you ever found yourself ‘sweating bullets’ because you were ‘under the gun’ at work? Ever hatched a ‘bulletproof’ plan? Or taken a ‘shot in the dark?’ Told a joke that totally ‘misfired?’ Ever had an idea that was ‘shot down’ right on the spot? If you have, did you ‘stick to your guns?’ ”
Early in the article Herwick uses Myers’ comments:
“It’s just part of our way of talking,” Myers said. “It’s so common.
It reflects this longstanding obsession that we have with guns.
“Myers says ‘gun speak’ has permeated American culture so deeply that it’s used by everybody — men and women, Republicans and Democrats, gun owners and people who have never even seen a real gun — often without thinking.
“I’ve tried to pay attention to whether this is a more- or less-edu- cated style of speech, and I don’t think it breaks down by education or social class," he said. "I think it’s just throughout the culture.”

Alfred Almond sixth graders had a special treat at the Corning Museum of Glass on Thursday, this past week, as Master Gaffer, Angus Powers (right, in first photo), with able assistance from Nick Rozard (left, who also drove the bus) and Dan Volk (center), blew a
"Salad Monster," to the delight of all attendees. In a 20-minute time slot, globs of molten glass were magically turned into a green goo- gly-eyed face with feathery "ears."

DANSVILLE—The New York State Department of Transporta- tion has announced that cold-in-place recycling and milling will begin this week (June 22) on state Route 36 from Willey Road north to the Livingston county line. Paving will follow beginning the week of July 18, 2016.
The recycling process will be done from Willey Road to the south- ern entrance to Stony Brook State Park; from there to the bridge at the northern entrance to the park, cold milling will be performed.
The final stretch of the project from the bridge to the county line will also be recycled. After a minimum of a 10 day cure period, the entire project will be paved weather permitting.
While this work is taking place, traffic will be maintained with a one-lane, two-way traffic pattern controlled by flag persons and a pilot vehicle. Work during these days will begin around 7 a.m. and should be completed by 7 p.m. Motorists should expect delays.
By BECKY PROPHET A.E. Crandall Hooks Fire Co.
A.E. Crandall Hook and Lad- der Company was way too busy during the month of May. Our calls for May
Ambulance—14 Residents; 2 AU students; 2 Alfred State stu- dents; 2 Non-residents
Fire—17 False alarms; 1 Car- bon Monoxide sensor
The number of calls for stu- dents, considering that the ma- jority of students were out of town by May 15-16, was low and very well handled. We love seeing these low numbers, sug- gesting good health. However, the number of calls for Alfred residents was sadly high. Please, do not hesitate to call, but do your very best to stay healthy!
We are so excited that Sam Gardner, Isaiah Greenwald, Liz Raterman, and Sherry Volk are all now on board with EMT- Basic certification. These won- derful volunteers have all stepped up to take the 200+
hours of training. And, while all had been drivers, we now also have them as EMTs!
As exciting and of great bene- fit to the community, four mem- bers of our company have been certified as “Critical Care.”
Nearly 300 hours of training was demanded for certification.
Their advance skills give our company a good deal more med- ical experience and expertise, adding tremendous depth to our company. These new “C.Cs” are
Aaron Aumick, Sam
Burlingame, Bob Reese, and Paul Weaver.
The fire company has been supporting the Inaugural Village of Alfred Olympics. Our
“Olympicnic” and ping pong ball regatta were held Sunday, June 12. The fire company did a hose test that put water in the Kanakadea. Despite the help, when the balls went into the water, they drifted upstream.
YES! Upstream! The wind was a little stronger than the current.
But, then the added water reached the race and the results were breath taking, well almost.
We were also present at the Field
Day events. More than one fire company member participated in some of the field events for the Alfred Olympics.
Since summer is upon us and we’ll all be spending more time outdoors, please take care of yourselves and friends and fam- ily. When travelling, it is a good idea to have a first aid kit and drinking water in your car. Also, please remember NEVER leave children or pets in the car (espe- cially a closed one), not even for the “minute” you need in the grocery store. On these beautiful and mild summer days in Alfred (or nearby) the temperature in a car in a parking lot can reach 100 degrees F with shocking speed.
Make sure that everyone drinks adequate water. If you are gardening, lounging, or recreat- ing, even swimming, you need to replenish fluids that are lost through sweat. It is particularly important for small children and teens who may not be aware of their state to be encouraged to drink enough to replace fluids lost. Oh, and remember, for all of us, caffeinated or alcoholic beverages do not count in the re- hydration totals.
For those who are participat- ing in sports, be sure that they each have proper safety equip- ment: helmets for bicyclists and skate boarders, proper wrist and leg protection for skating of any kind. Oh, don’t worry, we won’t be ice skating this summer, but I think you know what I mean.
Boaters should all have Coast Guard approved life jackets.
When I play croquet, my family likes to wear protective helmets, but I doubt that the rest of you need to go that far.
Watch children carefully around water. Supervise fishing expeditions so no one gets hooked. And, since we all like to gather around campfires for ac- tivities and that questionable dessert of s’mores, please be sure that you have a “legal”
sized fire, per New York State and Village of Alfred ordi- nances. Campfires should burn only wood, not construction ma-

NYSDOT UPDATE
RECOGNIZING PROGRESS, PAST & PRESENT The first regular meeting of the Allegany County Board of Legis- lators took place at 2:00 p.m. on June 13th. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Former Marine Corps Corporal and Air Force Reserve Corporal Percy (P.J.) Sherman led those present in reciting the Pledge. During the Privilege of the Floor portion of the Board meeting he was recognized for his military service. The STOP- DWI Program also recognized his service to the community as a po- lice officer. He has been selected as a “Top Cop” in Allegany County for several years for his efforts to stop drunk driving. He was recently honored as a State “Top Cop.” We owe our thanks to PJ Sherman for his dedication and service to our community. Privilege of the Floor was also granted to Norma Bartlett and James Arthur to recognize the Genesee Valley Chorus. This group just celebrated the 40th anniver- sary of its founding. Chairman Crandall issued a Proclamation de- claring June 2016 as Genesee Valley Chorus Month.
William Heaney then spoke about “Local History Awareness Week.” The week of September 19th through 25th will focus on no- table American artifacts. There will be replicas of the Burr-Hamilton duel on display at the David A. Howe Library in Wellsville. There will be lectures and exhibitions throughout the county. Allegany County Agricultural Society President Karen Tripp spoke about the Allegany County Fair. ACCORD Community Operations Director Belinda Knight spoke about June being Elder Abuse Awareness Month. Chairman Crandall issued a Proclamation recognizing June as Elder Abuse Awareness Month
Chairman Curtis Crandall appointed members to the Board of Di- rectors of the recently established Allegany County Land Bank Cor- poration. This organization will acquire derelict properties and either demolish or refurbish them. The goal is to get properties improved and back on the tax rolls. He also appointed Dr. Joseph Felsen to the Citizens Advisory Council of the Office For the Aging. County Ad- ministrator Timothy Boyde appointed Terri Ross as Deputy Budget Officer and Edwin E. Dibert as Deputy County Auditor. Human Serv- ices Committee Chairman Kevin LaForge made appointments to the County Heroin and Opioid Abuse Ad Hoc Committee.
Resolution #142-16 designated the Crossroads Waterline Project and the Bio-Refinery Development and Commercialization Center as this year’s top two economic development projects for our County.
Resolution #143-16 appointed John Roederer of Houghton to a three- year term on the Allegany County Planning Board. Resolution #144- 16 accepted and appropriated $3,992.42 for reimbursement for the cost of repairs to a County vehicle damaged in an accident that oc- curred on May 6, 2016. Resolution #145-16 approved a new Snow Removal and Ice Control Contract between the County and various Towns in the County.
Resolution #146-16 approved a professional services contract with Mason Digital, LLC, for services related to upgrading the County’s websites, up to a maximum amount of $34,000. I strongly supported this contract. Many individuals and businesses make their first contact with our County through our Internet websites. It is im- portant that we make a good “first” impression. I think this should be viewed as an investment in economic development.
Our County is fortunate to have a very dedicated, capable and qualified County Treasurer. One of her responsibilities is to prepare and file an “Annual Financial Report.” She recently filed the Annual Financial Report for Allegany County for 2015 with the Office of the State Comptroller. Each year the County develops an Annual Budget that is our estimate of what expenses and revenue will be for the com- ing year. Once that year is over the Treasurer prepares this Report that shows us what actually happened. For 2015 the results were gen- erally favorable.
The Report shows that during 2015 the total assets of the County increased from $37,575,852 to $43,449,630. The County’s Total Fund Balance increased from $27,915,435 to $29,552,011. Real property tax revenue went up by about $475,000. However, Sales Tax revenue went down by more than $677,000. Our finances remain strong.
However, we must remain vigilant and fiscally responsible.

Thank You Doctor, I Feel Much Better—
Now That I’m Leaving
“Doctor, look—my ankle’s swelling.
What’d I do to it? No telling…”
“WOW! Your ankle’s like a pink Ming väse!
Well, let me see…must be a cause…
Does it hurt when I do this? or that?
No, I think it’s just your ankle’s fat.
Wait—it might be like my cousin Edsel;
Here, let me twist it like a pretzel…
There. Now how’s that feel? Nice?”
“Yow!! Just stick it in a vise!”
“Well then, I’d say it’s not a sprain…”
“Then how do you explain the pain?!”
“Why you throwing such a fit?
It isn’t hurting mea bit!
Just settle down and take this pill And you’ll be fine—I know you will.
“Now, in my X-ray-bot you go…
But heck—I know what it’ll show:
Tendons, ligaments, and bone, And by the way, I see a stone That lodged there forty years ago—
When you were young and dumb, you know—
That time you tried, on bike, to travel Thirty miles an hour on gravel,
And (naturally), ‘Look ma—no hands!’
To (imagined) cheers from (imagined) fans…
“There’s tooth marks there, where Fido bit you;
Right there is where that line drive hit you—
That winning drive from Killer’s bat That bounded off your leg, like that, And landed in the right field corner, Where young right fielder Bobby Horner Stared at it with saucer eyes—
To him it was a big surprise:
A flying baseball landing near!
What shouldhe do? It wasn’t clear, Till everyone yelled, ‘GET THE BALL!!’
Poor Bobby felt two inches tall…
“But meanwhile, there ’round second base, Was you, tears streaming down your face, All crumpled in a wretched heap
O’er which Killer had to leap
To touch each base and then home plate, To score the winning run—but wait!
“As Killer vaulted over you,
He TRIPPED! Your leg had caught his shoe!
(I see the spot there, on your shin, Where Killers razor spikes sank in.) It slowed him down (and Deadly Dunn, Who’d been on first, the tying run)—
So much so, they could not have missed Young Bobby Horner’s first assist!—
A miraculous, heroic feat,
A throw that had those runners beat!
“A perfect strike to second base, Where luckily it missed your face, It bounced instead right off your knee—
The dent’s still there, as you can see—
And landed right in Griswald’s mitt (Your shortstop, fondly known as ‘Grit’), Who tagged a dazed, bewildered Killer—
That mangy beast, that wild gorillar—
To win that game by one to zero…
But of course…the real hero?
This leg that is attached to you—
It seemed to know just what to do At every turn to win that game—
It’s had it’s quarter hour of fame!
“See, I can see your whole life story—
Especially any part that’s gory—
Just by looking in that swelling;
What I’ll see, there’s just no telling.
“So stop your griping and complaining And just appreciate the training Your ankle and your leg’s endured;
It’s lived a good life, rest assured.”
“Well…thank you, Doc; you’ve got a knack.
You’ve cured me, now—of coming back.”
—The Still-swollen Gimp

Dear Editor,
Once upon a time, buying a new car may have sounded like a dream come true, but keeping your car through the “Cinderella Era” can mean more gold at the end of the rainbow.
The “Cinderella Era” is the period of time after the payoff when your car is still in great shape and needs only modest re-
pairs. With proper care, the typ- ical vehicle should deliver at least 200,000 miles of safe, de- pendable performance, and that’s no fairy tale.
By simply allocating the equivalent of just one new car payment, motorists can cover an entire year’s worth of basic maintenance and live happily ever after with their current ve- hicle. The most common main- tenance procedures and repairs to keep a car operating safely and reliably while maintaining its long-term value involve checking the oil, filters and flu- ids, belts and hoses, brakes, tires and air conditioning. The coun- cil also recommends an annual
tune-up and wheel alignment.
The end of the story is that a properly maintained vehicle is safer, more dependable, more fuel efficient, less polluting and more valuable. To help make it easy to follow a routine auto care program, the non-profit Car Care Council has free tools available at www.carcare.org, including the popular 80-page Car Care Guide and a customized service schedule.
Sincerely, Rich White Executive Director Car Care Council 7101 Wisconsin Ave., Suite Bethesda, MD 208141300

Week of June 23-June 29, 2016 ALFRED SUN, PO Box 811, 764 Route 244, Alfred, NY 14802 607-587-8110 MOSTARTS FESTIVAL MOONLIGHTER SERIES
MAESTRO YUVAL ZALIOUK
ALFRED—The MostArts Festival Or- chestra has a tireless champion on the podium: Maestro Yuval Zaliouk. Born in Haifa, Yuval Zaliouk began his career in London with the Royal Ballet Company, where he was the exclusive conductor for Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev in Covent Garden and on European tours. In 1975, he revived Israel’s Haifa Sym- phony Orchestra and went on to become Music Director of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra. It was there that he first col- laborated with two of our soloists this week, harpist Nancy Lendrim and pianist, Anthony Pattin.
Maestro Zaliouk offers a letter to the readers of the SUN:
I am very excited to conduct the MostArts Festival Orchestra for the sec- ond year, and once again welcome from the stage the warm and enthusiastic Fes- tival audience.
This year we chose even more exciting music than last year. I have no doubt that our audience will appreciate the variety of music and styles as well as the high standard of the orchestra musicians and soloists, some fondly remembered from last year and some who join us this year for the first time.
The MostArts Festival, founded by its Artistic Director, the fiery and energetic Lisa Lantz, is fast gaining wider recogni- tion in the national summer festivals arena. Alfred University should be proud of the tremendous achievement of this
Festival in the short time since its incep- tion.
I look forward to seeing the Miller The- ater filled up to capacity.
About Yuval Zaliouk, Conductor Maestro Zaliouk has conducted exten- sively internationally including The Israel Philharmonic, The Bournemouth Sym- phony, The Royal Liverpool Philhar- monic, The Royal Philharmonic, The Tokyo Symphony, The Berlin Symphony, The Stuttgart Radio Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic, The Oslo Philharmonic, Madrid National Symphony, Portuguese National Orchestra, and The Moscow Chamber Orchestra.
Not only an internationally renowned symphony conductor, Maestro Zaliouk is also a gourmet chef and founder of the
“Almondina” cookie company in Maumee, Ohio. A delicious, crispy wafer with the delicate flavor of roasted al- monds and the natural sweetness of plump raisins, they are sold in all 50 states and overseas. And now in Alfred, they will be available exclusively at “The Festival Shop” on Main Street, while the supply lasts.
And the Maestro will have an opportu- nity to collaborate with the next genera- tion of great young artists, namely our 2015 Grand Prize Winner, Avery Gagliano. Avery will perform the Chopin Concerto No. 2 at the Opening Gala, Sunday, July 3rd. In Avery’s own words:
Last year, I was honored to receive the
grand prize at the MostArts Festival, and as a result, I now have the opportunity to return to the charming and welcoming Al- fred village this summer. I will be per- forming Chopin's Second Piano Concerto with the MostArts Festival Orchestra, and am especially thrilled to work with Maes- tro Yuval Zaliouk. I am so excited for this experience. Chopin concerto no. 2 in F minor is a masterpiece packed with vir- tuosic, passionate, and expressive melody. With an orchestra, the music heightens, transporting me to a whole new level of depth in the music. I look forward to sharing the warmth I feel when playing this concerto with the au- dience. Every time I listen to or play this concerto, I am spellbound by its magic, and I hope to give a performance that all can actively experience and enjoy.
You won’t want to miss a single mo- ment of this week’s events. Tickets are available at the Festival Shop, online with a credit card or by calling 607-871-2828.
ALFRED—The MostArts Festival Orchestra will present a 4th of July Celebration at 7:30 p.m. Monday, July 4 in the Miller Theater on the Alfred University campus.
The special program will begin with the rarely performed Concerto for Harp and Fluteby Mozart featuring harpist, Nancy Lendrim and flutist, Jeanne Sperber. Then Anthony Pattin returns to the Miller Theater stage to perform the ever-popu- lar Rhapsody in Blue by Ameri- can composer, George Gershwin.
Also on the program will be Haydn’s Symphony No. 100 also know as The Military, and then a few 4th of July favorites by John Philip Sousa, The Lib- erty Bell March and Stars and Stripes Forever. Celebrate in
style this year at the MostArts Festival 4th of July Concert.
Nancy Lendrim has per- formed with the Cleveland Or- chestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, North Carolina Opera, and the Atlanta Symphony and is the principal harpist of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra. Chamber performances across the United States have been highlighted by numerous world premiere per- formances.
Jeanne Sperber has performed in New York City at numerous venues, including Trinity Church, Carnegie’s Weill Hall, and Alice Tully Hall, and has toured Latin America as a con- certo soloist, including a U.S.
State Department-sanctioned concert in Cuba for a rare cul- tural exchange in 1986. As an
orchestral flutist, she has per- formed with the National Or- chestra of New York, Bronx Opera Orchestra and Symphony, Binghamton Philharmonic and Syracuse Symphony.
Anthony Pattin will return to the MostArts Festival as both soloist and adjudicator. Pattin gave his New York debut recital at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Hall in 1998. In a review of that concert, a critic for the New York Concert Review magazine called Pattin
“a pianist of definite skills and strengths.”
He has performed recitals in Japan, Europe, and Central America. Pattin made his profes- sional orchestral debut perform- ing Gershwin’s Concerto in F with the Toledo Symphony Or- chestra, under the baton of Maestro Yuval Zaliouk, and has
appeared as soloist with the Al- abama and Arkansas Sym- phonies.
Pattin in his own words de- scribes returning to Alfred:
I look forward to with great anticipation, the 3rd Annual MostArts Festival and Young Pi- anist Competition at Alfred Uni- versity. As a participating adjudicator, soloist, and cham- ber musician it's impossible to not to notice that this festival just keeps getting better with each consecutive summer. The musical, artistic level of the competitors is extremely high and the Festival Orchestra pres- ents concerts which are inspir- ing and fun. The free Chamber Music Series presented daily at noon offers some of the greatest masterpieces ever written played by musicians who are not only
exceptional performers but also love the music!
What a great oasis of Music and Art presented by Alfred Uni- versity and I am honored to be a part of this exciting and impor- tant music festival: on its way to becoming among the most pop- ular summer music venues in Western New York .

ALFRED—For a second year, the MostArts Festival Pop-up Shop will oc- cupy the little Terra Cotta office building across from the Post Office.
“The Festival Shop” will open Satur- day, June 25 and thereafter from 2 to 5 p.m. daily during the MostArts Festival.
This year, the shop will feature a Retro- spective of Alfred University’s Summer School Ceramics in the 21st Century. The show was designed and curated by Euge- nia Frith Meltzer, and will feature six long time participants.
Stop in to purchase your MostArts Tickets, T-shirts, caps, and bags, and browse around. A percentage of the sales will go toward the restoration project of this historic and beloved building.
Six participants return year after year To AU’s Summer School Ceramics
There is a very special art show at the little Terra Cotta Building. It is a retro- spective show by six artists who return to summer school here in Harder Hall year after year. Some come to perfect their craft, others come to be inspired by the various artists-in-residence.
This is a short visual history of Alfred University’s summer ceramics, told both in clay and photos as seen by participants who are once again returning to the cam- pus. And now they have another reason to return, the MostArts Festival.
John Pilshawcomes from Mendham, New Jersey. He’s a functional potter whose work clearly has been influenced
by the various workshop artists invited for summer school. His first workshop was in 1999. A world traveler and music aficionado, he loves the lunchtime cham- ber music that the Most Arts festival pro- vides in Holmes Auditorium.
Pip Merrick has several residences, one in Woodstock, NY. She too has music in her background and participates in the Phoenicia opera. Pip makes very large bowls (given her small stature) and uses the time in summer school to explore equally large sculptural pieces. She has attended summer school off and on since 2004.
Karen Demiccolives in Binghamton, NY. She is a studio artist whose sculpture is conceptual and full of narrative. Her first workshop here in Alfred goes back to 1998. Her sculpture is easily recogniz-
able and seen in various galleries.
Mike Dodson is a well-established potter from K e n o s h a , Wisconsin.
He brings his golf clubs and manages to get in sev- eral days on the greens before sum- mer school starts. His work is functional and his first summer school was in 2000. He says he has particu-
larly enjoyed the throwing demos by In- Chin Lee.
M a r i e Snoreckis a local artist, often seen ac- c o m p a n i e d by her hus- band, Harry.
Marie’s first s u m m e r school at Al- fred was in 2004. Her
work also reflects the various artists-in- residence; from Todd Wahlstrom, Ryan Greenback, Denise Pelletier, David East to the dueling demos of Linda Sikora and Matthew Metz. She also says that she has learned as much from watching the other participants as from the artists in resi- dence.
Eugenia Frith Meltzer, another local artist, moved to Alfred from the Midwest, just for summer school. Her first work- shop was in 2001 with Michael Connolly whom she says taught her throwing tips that she still uses. Both a functional potter and sculptor, she now hand-builds un- usual figurative teapots that satisfy both directions. She is probably best known however as a musician, teaching violin and piano as an adjunct at AU.
Meltzer, who is curating the show of the six Summer Ceramics School partic- ipants, says that having the MostArts Fes- tival at the same time as summer ceramics is “kind of like having my cake and eating it, too!”
