Pioneer Woodsmen’s Club win events
Alfred Lions kick off 50th anniversary year
By KATHY BENZAQUIN Alfred Lions Club President
ALFRED—The Alfred Lions Club celebrates its 50th anniver- sary during the 2015-2016 year.
The club originally was char- tered in 1966 and still has sev-
ALFRED – The Alfred State Pioneer Woodsmen’s Club on Oct. 3 won two divisions of the Finger Lakes Logging Sports Competition held at Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua.
The timber sports match con- sisted of a number of team, indi- vidual, and double events, such as crosscut, log roll, chainsaw, climbing, axe throw, fire build, underhand chopping, and more.
The Alfred State club, composed of 24 students, took first place in the men’s division, as well as the Jack and Jill division, in which teams included three males and three females.
Coach Scott Bingham said taking first in both divisions his team entered is a great way to start off the season.
“We had to move some people around and change some events at the last minute, but it appears to have paid off,” he said. “We have some seasoned, but also new members on the Jack and
Jill team, so it was a great pleas- ure to see such progress in such a short period of time.”
Alfred State competed against several other schools Oct. 3, in- cluding Finger Lakes Commu- nity College, Paul Smith’s College, the State University of New York (SUNY) Environ- mental Science and Forestry Ranger School, Morrisville State, SUNY Cobleskill, and the University of Vermont. The Pio- neers won’t have much time to celebrate their success, however, as they will soon prepare for their next competition, taking place Oct. 17 at Paul Smith’s College.

ALFRED—A second public forum intended to collect input for updating the Town and Vil- lage of Alfred Comprehensive Plan was held Thursday, Oct. 1.
Several dozen Alfredians arose to the Village Hall Theater after the monthly meeting of the Village Planning Board on Thursday, Oct. 1 to participate in the planning exercise.
In the center of the room were 12 “conversation maps” with questions such as, “When I de- scribe Alfred to someone I say…
” or “What does the phrase ‘a sustainable community’ mean to you?”
Lining the hall were commu- nity design concepts developed by Alfred State Architecture stu- dents enrolled in a senior Urban Design Studio. Three corridors–
downtown Alfred, Sugar Hill/Tinkertown, and Alfred Sta- tion–were imagined in various configurations.
Additionally, the Architecture seniors displayed a review of how Alfred could become a Leadership in Energy & Envi- ronmental Design (LEED) certi- fied community.
Attendees were encouraged to write down their thoughts on the conversation maps, interact with the Architecture students, and register their support or dissatis- faction of ideas with color-coded stickers.
The comprehensive plan core committee would like to thank all community members who at- tended either public forum, everyone who completed a com- munity survey, and Bill Akiyama and the Urban Design Studio students who helped to make these forums a success.
If anyone is interested in help- ing to draft the Comprehensive Plan or work toward implement- ing the new plan, please contact Peter McClain at alfredcentrem- [email protected].
eral members from its charter year. The club kicked off its year with a family picnic in Septem- ber.Last Thursday, the Lions rec- ognized the 2015 scholarship winners and their parents. Each year two graduating seniors from Alfred-Almond Central School are each awarded a $750 scholarship. One is given to a student attending Alfred Univer- sity and the other goes to an Al- fred State College attendee.
The club was pleased to honor this year’s awardees, Rachel McMahon and Ian Clarke. Each student gave a brief presentation about their career goals and their experiences so far as a first year student.
Rachel is attending Alfred State College pursuing a major in nursing with the hopes of be- coming a nurse practitioner in the future. Ian is pursuing a de- gree at Alfred University in Ath- letic Training, one day hoping to work in Colorado. Rachel’s’ par- ents, Dan and Marie McMahon and Ian’s folks, Jeanette and Doug Clarke were also in atten- dance.
Both students mentioned the challenging transition from high school to college but each has managed to figure out how to be successful. The club is proud to
support these two fine young members of our community.
In other club news, the annual fall chicken BBQ was a great success! Along with Lions, sev- eral AACS seniors and members of a local ASC fraternity volun- teered throughout the day. Lion Tammy Kokot did a great job in organizing the event and the
group raised over $700 to use for community support.
The Medical Equipment Loan Closet is available to the com- munity and if you need a certain item, contact the club through its
email address
The dog park project will not be moving forward at this time;
after a survey of local neighbors it was decided that the original proposed location would not be feasible. The club is looking for alternative ideas for its anniver- sary project. If you are interested in joining the Lions, contact the club through its email address or by calling Membership Chair Cathy Johnson at 276-2519.

d,NY HALLIe roSe BroDY
Fought disease with no cure
GEORGETOWN, TX—Hallie Rose Brody passed away, Sunday, October 11, 2015, at home with her family, Jerry, Abby and Ben Brody, in Georgetown, Texas. Hallie was 23 years old. She died from complications of Ehlers-Danlos Syn- drome, a genetic connective tissue disorder with few treatments and no cure.
Hallie was born 23 years ago in Santa Rosa, California to Katie and Eric, two young people who had chosen Jerry and Abby Brody to be Hal- lie’s parents.
She was full of life, joy and happiness, right at the very beginning. The entrustment ceremony where Eric and Katie symbolically gave Hallie to the Brody family was full of love, light and joy.
Remarkable she was. With an infectious smile, a kind and generous heart, she made friends in- stantly and everywhere she went. She was the child to make the handmade gift for a friend or family member. She was the leader of the pack when it came to imaginative play in our big back- yard—the 5 acre wood in Alfred Station. In fact, Hallie always considered Alfred her home, and proudly bore the Alfred Sun’s bumper sticker on her car.
As a little girl in Alfred, she’d comfort the one who had fallen or was ill. Even after she became so very ill herself, she continued to give hope and support to thousands of people with chronic ill- nesses via her Facebook page, “Hope for Hallie Rose.” Over 2000 people were part of her online community and followed her story daily. She spent time every night Skyping with people around the world who had chronic illnesses and needed en- couragement, a smile, or a laugh. She would talk about helping the “little zebras,” those newly di-
agnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, with gas- troparesis, with POTs and dysautonomia, and teaching them everything she knew about the hor- rible disease that would take her life too soon.
She had a lot to complain about, but she almost never did. Her pain was excruciating, constant and would cause many young people with EDS to take their lives. Hallie was incredibly brave. She had so many major surgeries, cross country trips to see specialists, trips to the emergency room, trials of new medications that inevitably failed her, and so many treatments that caused even more pain and failed to help her get better.
Even worse, there were so many doctors who wouldn’t believe she was really ill, or who dropped her because she was too complex and re- quired too much of their time. However, there were many doctors, nurses, friends and strangers who came to Hallie’s aid and to the family’s when they were desperate for help. The family is deeply grateful to all of them.
Despite her terrible illness, Hallie brought so much joy and love to her family, even during the most difficult times. She’d find a way to laugh and smile through almost anything. She had an eye for fashion, and always looked spectacular, at home or in the hospital, wearing colorful scarves and hair bows and jewelry…even when the IV tubes, oxygen, stomach tubes and urinary catheter got in the way.
At home, she always wanted to be part of the ac- tion, and would volunteer to do whatever she could, even when exhausted and wheelchair- bound. She was the first to say “I’ll go with you!”
when an outing was afoot. Even if it was just er- rands, she wanted to be with her family, out in the world at every opportunity. She loved life with a passion and never lost hope for a cure.
Hallie and her Daddy were incredibly close. The love they shared was deep and enduring. They had their first Daddy-Daughter dates when she was in elementary school, and they continued on her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas. Jerry and Hal- lie shopped together, went skiing together, went to campus events together, and spent many hours just talking together.
Another big hero in Hallie’s life was Matthew Moses. Matt and Hallie met years ago in college, and became very close friends some time later.
What is remarkable about Matt is that even as ill- ness slowly destroyed her ability to function, he stayed with her. He became her caretaker. He moved in with the family and cared for her night and day, usually staying up most of the night to make sure she had taken her medications, and that she was safe in bed. He saved her life over and over again, taking her to the ER sometimes twice a week, keeping track of her many appointments, making sure she had her long medication list filled, and toward the end, reviving her when she had stopped breathing. Matt was Hallie’s hero, and his grief is extreme, too.
Hallie would not want her family and friends to remember her by her illness, but by her joyous spirit, her insistence on keeping her hopes and dreams alive, her refusal to give in to despair, and her generosity in loving and inspiring others. She never wanted to let her body dictate who she was.
She inspired her family and everyone she met to have hope, stay strong, and live life, whenever you can, as much as you can, and remember the joy that life can bring.
In lieu of flowers, Hallie’s family requests me- morial donations to the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation, ednf.org.
A son, Lochlan John, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Ian Cannon (Tamara Muska) of Easton, PA on Friday, Oct. 2, 2015. Mater- nal grandparents are Lisa (Greene) Muska and the late Dorsin Muska, Wellsville. Pater- nal grandparents are Brian and Marlee (Johnson) Cannon, of Wellsville. Baby Lochlan joins his 2- year old sister, Eshne Mae at home.

[Editor’s Note: Like most of the recipes she shared with our readers over the past couple of decades, Ellen Shultz’s Sunny Side Up columns are worth repeating. ]
As a community, Seventh Day Baptists valued learning and founded Alfred University as a select school in 1836 to educate teachers and preachers. One of the first coeducational institutions of higher learning in the United States, Alfred University, unlike any other institutions, allowed women to read their own papers aloud.
If they were smart enough to write them, they were smart enough to read them, reasoned Jonathan Allen, second president. This seems fitting with our look at the strong women of Alfred. Since some stu- dents paid their tuition with milk, butter or eggs from their family farms, this custard dish would have been steamed in a kettle on the stove top as fare for student boarders.
Custard
3 eggs, separated 2 c. milk
1/2 c. sugar 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. salt 1/4 c. maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
Pour maple syrup to cover the bottom of a one quart pudding mold. Put mold outside in snow to chill and harden. In a large bowl, beat egg white until stiff. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks together with vanilla and nutmeg. Fold into the egg white mixture. Heat the milk and add while stirring to the egg mixture. Pour mixture into the prepared pudding mold. Cover with brown paper and tie with string. Place a wire rack on the bottom of a large covered kettle and fill kettle with 2 inches of water. Put the kettle on the stove and bring the water to simmer. Place mold inside the steamer on the rack, cover with lid. Cook until custard is set. Serves six.
Note: Cook in conventional oven at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.

ABA’s next meeting Oct. 21 at Terra Cotta
on Lower Street in Rushford where Governor Higgins was born in 1856 and grew up.
ALFRED--The next meeting of the Alfred Business Association will be 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21 at the Terra Cotta Coffee House. (Standard meeting time is the 3rd Wednesday of the month.) Further consideration will be given to membership issues, com- munity service, and the hiring of a director for the partnered ABA and the Alfred 21st Century group.
Pizza or refreshments will be served. Doesn't that make you want to be there? Ppurpose is to build and enhance the economic climate or our community. Your ideas and participation are welcome.
In 2008, Mr.Beverly was encouraged by the Rushford Historical Soci- ety to be part of the Walk- ing Tour for the Bicentennial celebration of the town. This caused his interest in learning as much as possible about the history of the house.
He became intrigued by the close friendship and working relationship be- tween Governor Higgins and Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.Beverly admits that without the assistance of the Rushford Historical Society, Alfred State Pro- fessor Richard Kellogg and William Gabler, au- thor of Frank Wayland Higgins:
New York's Forgotten Governor, he never would have gained his passion for collecting the mate- rial he has.
In his presentation, the speaker will present a Power Point program of the Governor.
To bring the story to life he will be dressed as the Governor and tell the story from Higgins' youth to his becoming Governor of New York State.
Mr. Beverly will also display his political memorabilia of old campaign posters, buttons and ribbons which he has continued to collect for many years.

LESSONS FROM LINCOLN
Recently my family urged that I watch the Spielberg movie, “Lincoln.” It dealt with the po- litical efforts leading up to Congressional approval of the Thirteenth Amendment. That Amendment abolished slavery in the United States. I found the movie fascinating, and have done some additional research on some of its themes. I believe that there are some valuable lessons to be learned from that era and battle. Here are some brief observations regarding the Congressional fight to enact the Thirteenth Amendment.
• History isn’t always what we learned in school. I remember being taught that President Abraham Lincoln set the slaves free by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. The “Emancipation”
was simply a Presidential Order issued under ques- tionable circumstances. The Union maintained that it was not at war with the Confederacy, and that it was simply an insurrection or rebellion. Conse- quently many argued that Lincoln didn’t have the authority to emancipate the slaves using his “Pres- idential War Powers.” He recognized the merit in those arguments and pushed to have Congress enact the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slav- ery. Otherwise, slavery might have been re-estab- lished upon the cessation of hostilities.
• Compromise and take what you can get (Part 1). Congress was split into three factions. One fac- tion supported the President and the Thirteenth Amendment. Another faction opposed the aboli- tion of slavery, and wanted to negotiate a peaceful re-unification of the nation. The third faction wanted full legal rights for those who had been slaves, and thought the Thirteenth Amendment didn’t go far enough. Consequently, the vote to abolish slavery was extremely close. Lincoln rec- ognized that the best he could do right then was to abolish slavery. The battle for full legal rights was fought (and won) after Lincoln’s assassination.
• Compromise and take what you can get (Part 2). I also remember being taught that Lincoln was more interested in preserving the Union, than in freeing the slaves. However, it is clear that Lincoln rejected a negotiated peace with the Confederacy
that would have permitted slavery to continue to exist. Lincoln clearly believed that slavery was morally indefensible. Consequently, he subordi- nated expediency (a negotiated peace) in order to achieve the abolition of slavery. At the time he was held responsible for the deaths of thousands of sol- diers because he allowed the fighting to continue.
• Better the devil you know, than the one you don’t. The die-hards in the Confederacy held Lin- coln responsible for the Civil War and the abolition of slavery. That prompted John Wilkes Booth and others to their assassination conspiracy. However, their irrational hatred of Lincoln blinded them to the fact that he was much more moderate than many other northerners. If you doubt that, you should read Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address where he calls for “with malice towards none, and charity towards all,” rather than calling for retri- bution. After Lincoln’s death the radicals seized control of the Republican Party and enacted harsh
“Reconstruction” laws. The defeated Confederacy would have been much better off with Lincoln.
They didn’t realize that until it was too late.
• Choose your poison. There are times when those in leadership must choose between options that are bad, worse and worst. None of the options are appealing or popular. Lincoln was faced with exactly that situation. What was most important?
Was it ending the war, abolishing slavery, or re- sisting those who wanted revenge against the Con- federacy. Ultimately, he persevered against strong opposition and achieved what history views as a great victory. At the time he was reviled, vilified and accused. His letters and journals reveal his struggles with isolation and rejection. Leaders fre- quently find themselves lonely and misunderstood.
Today America is deeply divided. Perhaps al- most as deeply divided as we were during the Civil War. We need leadership that is as practical and wise as that provided by Abraham Lincoln. Cer- tainly there are issues important enough to fight and die for. However, you don’t fight and die over every issue. There must be room for debate, com- promise and negotiation regarding methods and objectives.

Tennessee, Tennessaw I went to Tennessee
To see what Tennessaw;
I didn’t hurt my knee, And I didn’t break the law.
I went to be a learner:
I learned ’bout Sergeant York;
Saw a play there called The F’reigner—
Learned how to pr-O-nounce “fo-wrk”.
But I didn’t try the okra
That came with my fried chicken, Cuz I didn’t wanna chokra While my fingers I was lickin’.
My host was from the No’th, My hostess Japanese;
I learned to eat beef broth—
With chopsticks?!—yes, with ease.
So lovely was the weather With sunshine every day, I didn’t know just whether I’d put down roots and stay.
Cuz from touring to cuisine I won’t try to deny
That with all I’d Tennesseen…
It was hard to say good-bye.

The monthly meeting commenced with the pledge of allegiance after which guest Emily Rhoades addressed the board. Emily repre- sented the Center for Civic Engagement at Alfred State College which is fighting poverty and hunger through a community garden behind the Vet Tech building. Her purpose in attending was to broaden awareness of this issue.
Robert Pipal representing Alfred Ambulance was the next guest to address the board. Alfred Ambulance was requesting an increase of $640 in the town’s support toward their annual $70,000 budget.
The ambulance operates on an all-volunteer basis and does not charge for its services. He indicated that approximately 15% of their calls come from the town. Board member Bob Ormsby asked if they conducted any fund raising activities to which Mr. Pipal responded that they do Breakfast with Santa each year. The board thanked them for their service to the community and indicated their request would be considered in making the 2016 town budget.
The final guest to address the board was Brent Reynolds. He spoke briefly about the potential move of two business into the buildings on Sugar Hill.
In the normal course of abstract approvals and reports by the high- way superintendent and town clerk, the supervisor reported that we now have an AU student intern who will be in the office four hours per week. Lastly board member Jerry Snyder reported on the recent Alfred Village board meeting.
A budget workshop on September 24th was set and the meeting was adjourned. Complete minutes are available at the Alfred Town website.
To the Editor,
Recently, we have seen mixed messages regarding the best ways for consumers to heat their homes during this upcoming winter. For home and business owners not connected to the nat- ural gas main lines, options can include propane, heating oil, or wood pellets.
Several sources, including some State agencies, have been sending mixed messages about the advantages of wood in com- parison to propane and heating oil.
First, it is very important to un- derstand that propane cannot, nor should, be compared to fuel oil – which is one of several mislead- ing messages coming from those touting wood pellets.
While wood pellet stoves have increased in efficiency compared to years past (now up to 78%), propane furnace efficiency levels can be as high as 93% or more, with primary by-products of combustion being CO2 and water. This is quite different from even the most efficient heating oil or wood pellet furnace.
There are several pieces to the energy-efficient, renewable land- scape. Wood pellets have a role to play – but so does a clean burning fuel such as propane. For nearly a century, propane has provided clean, efficient, and af- fordable energy to homes, farms and businesses in New York, and is a growing percentage of New

York’s energy mix today.
Propane can be brought to your location without installing expensive pipelines, or eliminat- ing healthy competition, or dis- placing local businesses and taxpayers which have supported communities for decades. It also supports the local economy – with delivery drivers, techni- cians and customer service pro- fessionals who live and work right in our communities.
The propane supply produced right here in the United States has never been more plentiful – in fact, the U.S. is now the world’s largest propane supplier
– and consumers are currently enjoying lower prices than in past winters.
Propane is an important part of America’s energy independence, and it’s important for consumers to understand the role of propane accurately.
Rick Cummings, President New York Propane Gas Assn.

By SUSAN BECKHORN Special to the Alfred Sun RUSHFORD—Originally from Ver- mont, Sarah Phillips spent close to 30 years in Scarborough, Ontario, before set- tling in Rushford. For 31 years, she was a physical education teacher, but as she grew older she found that her body
“didn’t want to be quite so active.” She took courses to become qualified in art and taught that for the last seven years of her teaching career.
After retirement in 1997, Sarah came to Rushford to be near family. She had bought a house there in the early 90’s but only came during summers and vaca- tions. Once moved in permanently, she found that she needed a studio, so added a garage with a large art space above.
Wanting to share her knowledge, and interest people in doing art, Sarah ac- quired supplies for many different media so people could try them before buying their own.
Auntie’s Place was opened in 1998 starting with just a few adults and a group of home-schooled students. After 11 years Sarah gave up the home-schoolers and has continued with just adults. She now holds classes two days a week (Mon- days and Wednesdays) from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with people coming and going as schedules demand. Some people come
both days, others when they can. They pay a minimal fee of $5 plus materials cost for canvases etc.
The studio has become a place where people meet to share ideas, skills, and simply enjoy working in an “art colony”
atmosphere. Sarah’s students and fellow artists have a lot of fun and food—seek- ing any excuse for a pot luck meal or recipe trial! New students are always wel- come. One of Sarah’s greatest thrills is watching an inexperienced person blos- som into an accomplished artist and en- joying the journey.
Sarah herself works in varied media, as the subject or her mood changes, be it pencil, watercolor, oil (water soluble), acrylic, scratch-board, engraving or silk painting. In 2004 a friend and fellow artist, Sally Ann Miller, came to share her home and studio. Sally works in colored pencil and oil pastel bringing her experi- ence with those media to the Auntie’s Place students.
For the past six years Sarah has pro- duced a calendar of original art, ranging from old trucks, tractors, trains and auto- mobiles to outhouses. The theme for the upcoming 2016 calendar is “Flora and Fauna from Scratch.”
Another large undertaking has been producing eight historic posters for vari- ous local towns as well as the Allegany
County Fair. These depict history, also functioning as money makers for the towns.
Sarah’s and Sally’s large flower gar- dens provide much inspiration for their work. Recently Sarah has been doing over-sized flowers, delighting in explor- ing the detail of each bloom that such en- largement allows. Whether drawing or
painting, Sarah craves realism. She is also fascinated by the play of light on her sub- jects.
Her work has been shown in various galleries and venues in addition to the an- nual Allegany Artisan’s Studio Tour.
Sarah has won blue ribbons in a number of shows, recently taking Best of Show at the Seven County Exhibit in Wellsville.
ALLEGANY ARTISANS’ OPEN STUDIO TOUR THIS WEEKEND
ALFRED—The Alfred University (AU) Per- forming Arts Division welcomes the Mevlana Dervishes or Whirling Dervishes, from Konya, Turkey, Sunday, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. in the Miller Performing Arts Center. The community is invited to participate in this Alfred first. Come enjoy the music, dance, and ceremony; admission is free.
Whirling Dervishes (Mevlevi) perform a spell- binding worship service (Mevlevi sema), which features the dervishes in long white dresses whirling ecstatically for 15 minutes at a time to the drone of ancient Islamic hymns.
The Mevlevi are followers of Mevlana Jelaled- din Rumi, Muslim mystic, philosopher, and poet.
The sema is derived from Rumi’s habit of occa- sionally whirling in ecstatic joy in the streets of Konya. After Rumi’s death in 1273, the Mevlevi
order spread throughout the Seljuk and Ottoman empires. In the West, they became known as the Whirling Dervishes – those who sought to achieve ecstasy and unity with God through controlled trance-like spinning.
Though all dervish orders were closed shortly after the foundation of the Turkish Republic, the Mevlevi were soon allowed to reform as a “cul- tural organization,” perhaps because they were not overtly political and reactionary as were some other orders. The Mevlevi have always been ecu- menical in outlook, welcoming non-Muslims to the sema in the belief that all people are equal in the sight of God.
Konya is known worldwide as the home of the Whirling Dervishes.
WELLSVILLE— The Mike MiZ Trio will perform at 8 p.m. Sat- urday, Oct. 24 at the Wellsville Creative Arts Center. Advance tickets are $12, $14 at door. Members save an additional $2. Tickets may be purchased online at www.WellsvilleCreativeArtsCenter.com or at the Art Center Coffee House. For more information visit the web- site or call (585) 593-3000.
MiZ is a soulful, Rock-Americana artist from Northeast Pennsyl- vania who is known as a skillful and well rounded master of both acoustic and electric guitar. His sound is directly impacted by the coal mining region of PA and the songs evoke the rustic tones and imagery you would expect from the region and it's cultural heritage.
The singer/songwriter/guitarist Mike Mizwinski gives name to the band and his solo work and it is his heart and soul-- poured into the words and his guitar-- that drives it all forward. We use the term singer/songwriter loosely here, as a MiZ show can feature fast, in- tricate instrumental guitar compositions, foot stomping bluegrass, soulful ballads, creative covers, and a melting pot of different styles/textures/flavors that make up the catalogue (over four albums worth) of self-penned songs. Mike has maintained a freshness, a vibe, something, that keeps fans coming back for more.
MiZ has opened for America, The Wallflowers, Derek Trucks Band, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Blues Traveler, Shawn Colvin, Lyle Lovett, Leon Russell, Railroad Earth and many more. Since 2010 Mike has played in cities all over the world, spanning from Berlin, Germany - Northern Canada - Los Angeles - Austin, Texas - New York City and everywhere in between. He has played onstage with artists such as America, Umphrey's McGee, Donna Jean Godchaux, members of THE BAND, Ratdog, moe., Particle, String Cheese In- cident, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Jackie Greene, Marc Ford and more. Mike won the Tri-State Indie "Acoustic Artist of the Year"
award two years in a row- 2011 & 2012.
