ALMOND–The Greg Norton Memorial Park Com- mittee, tasked with revitalizing the Village of Almond’s historic playground, is the recipient of one of 19 Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation grants to help fund new and wonderous playspaces in Southeast Michigan and West- ern New York.
The $36,000 grant was awarded with the selection of
“Prisms” as a winner in the Play Everywhere Design Challenge co-sponsored by KABOOM! and the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation.
Designed by Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster, four-time winners of the Play Everywhere Design Chal- lenge, the Prisms are a series of triangular foam blocks encouraging a “loose parts” style of creative play.
Alfred Almond Community Sports Association Pres- ident Todd Goho had worked with Jamrozik and Kemp- ster in securing a Kaboom! Play Everywhere Grant for Almond Lions Park in 2019.
“The AACSA has been fortunate to have worked with Ms. Jamrozik and Mr. Kempster as designers for the
‘Blue Dots’ project to be completed this spring in the Al-
mond Lions Park,” Goho said.
Goho met with the GNMP Committee, a sub-commit- tee of the AACSA, suggesting they apply for a grant.
Committee Chair Lois Curran completed the application in record time.
“This major grant kicks off our fund-raising for the second phase of the project,” said Curran, explaining that the second phase is to develop an alternative play- space for youngsters.
To date, the GNMP Committee has constructed a pavilion and completed site work in preparation of spring 2021 paving of a 44’x84’ basketball court and a 44’x44’ multipurpose court at the park. Three basketball goals have been purchased and will be installed, all part of the first phase of the park project.
What are Prisms?
“The ‘Prisms’ were designed by play space designers Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster specifically for the greenspace at Greg Norton Park,” Goho said.
The “Prisms” are extruded triangular recycled foam blocks that are coated with a colorful polyurea coating to give them durability. Each of the three sides of the tri- angle is articulated with a different zigzag treatment,
making them ideal for sitting, climbing or sliding.
The elements can be rotated and arranged in different configurations to correspond to the desired use: for ex- ample, as a small bleacher for the basketball court or a climbing configuration in the greenspace (with an added hole in the center to go through).
They are light enough to be manipulated by kids but large enough to require cooperation in moving them

Alfred Sun Reporters
We were blessed to have received both injections of Moderna COVID-19 vac- cine by early February. Astonished at the miracle of being able to take our snow bird trip to Texas, shortened by a month from our usual, we made plans and set off in the very early morning of Feb. 10, 2021, with Nashville, TN, our first stop.
As we drove south, the weather changed alarmingly to colder and icy. We saw some accidents, not as they hap- pened, but unhappy vehicles along the road or in the median.
Looked up the weather on our intended path and discovered that the basic advice was “don’t go there” to Memphis.
Brother Den Butts wondered if we should hunker down in place. Glad for family and friends watching over us. Bob felt that we could skirt the ice storm by stay- ing east of it and we had a wonderful, stress-less day (11th), driving an old friend, Natchez Trace, which is a 400- mile-long National Park, speed limit 50 mph, no commercial traffic, and no stops.
It is a diagonal parkway from Nashville to Natchez, MS, and we stayed well east of the ice storm, ending, later than we’d planned, but safely, in Ruston, LA.
Our second day took us well into Texas, through Austin, and to Fredericks- burg, where we’d planned to spend two nights. This was the day after the horrific accident in Fort Worth, involving 130 ve- hicles, because of ice. We saw ice in Austin, but by the afternoon, when we
passed through, it was fun to look at, beards on signs, glittery ice on every- thing, with the major highways clear and mostly dry.
When we arrived at our motel, we were quite concerned about the weather we saw happening at this higher altitude.
Most concerning was the 25-degree tem-
perature and the fact that when one turned her face up, she could feel moisture in the air. This was settling, ever so gently, on everything.
A comment here; when we asked the attendant in the motel about tending Texas roads, she said, “They only do bridges and overpasses; there’s way too much road to plow or tend.” Also, even Fredericksburg rarely experiences tem- peratures below freezing.
We got groceries, topped up the gas tank, and went to the motel and tucked in.
Around midnight, I woke up and read a text from our friend, Alice, in Study Butte (our final destination), warning us about weather between the two locations. I took a look at weather radar, and woke Bob to suggest we leave before the ice storm, in- creasing in power, could get to us.
We packed up and left. In about 5 miles, we found that the windshield wipers in the heated truck could not keep up with the ice as it accumulated on the windshield, so we turned around and went back to our still-warm motel room.
Back in bed by about 2:30 a.m. That day, the 12th, by the way, was our 55th wed- ding anniversary.
The next day, we were able to get out for meals, but the road “out” toward the west was closed, with other alternatives not valid for various reasons. This was when we realized that Fredericksburg is an inland “island,” surrounded by vast stretches of sparsely populated or unpop- ulated “Hill Country,” the Texan name for

[Editor’s Note: Like most of the recipes she shared with our readers over the past couple of decades, Sunny Side Up columns by the late Ellen Shultz are worth repeating. ]
Here’s a recipe that I think I received from Sue Bergren many years ago. It involves my favorite beans, this time in soup. The only trouble is you have to buy several different kinds and the recipe calls for only a fraction of the amount in each bag. The good news is that the dried beans do not spoil and you will enjoy the soup so much you will want to make it again. You could also make up bags of the correct amount of the dried ingredients, include the recipe, and give them as gifts to others.
Eight Bean Soup
1/2 c. dried lima beans 1/4 c. dried kidney beans 1/4 c. dried small white navy beans 1/4 c. dried pinto beans 1/4 c. dried black eyed peas 1/4 c. pearl barley 1/4 c. dried green split peas 1/4 c. lentils
1/2 lb. ham or ham hock 1 (26 oz.) can tomatoes 1 tsp. chili powder 1 T. lemon juice
Wash beans and peas and soak overnight. Drain and add two quarts of water. Add 1/2 pound ham or ham hock. Bring to boil and simmer 1 1/2 to 3 hours. Add tomatoes and chili powder, if you like, and lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 30 minutes more.
Celery, onion, and chopped green chilies are optional

HORNELL–Two members of local fire departments on Saturday, Feb. 20 provided a Pandemic escape for fellow member Kelly Sny- der. Kelly has been unable to participate in his role as radio operator in the Alfred ambulance for nearly a year now, and he can't wait to get back to it.
Blake Mayo of the Alfred Station Fire Company, arranged a visit to Hornell Municipal Airport to tour the Lifenet 7-7 helicopter sta- tioned there, accompanied by Tim Cox from A.E.Crandall Hook &
Ladder Co.
Lifenet is a community based program that provides air medical services to wide regions across the nation. 7-7 covers much of West- ern New York from the Pennsylvania border to Rochester.
Tim and Blake were nearly as excited as Kelly to have this op- portunity! All three of them have been on scene when a helicopter has been necessary for transport quickly to a large hospital. How- ever, they were always too busy doing their duties as first responders to pay much attention to the helicopter and its crew.
It was a fun outing topped off with lunch at Paddy's, and Kelly came home full of non-trivial trivia and a bag of souvenirs. How lucky we are to have thoughtful friends in our community, and peo- ple like the crews of our air medical services who come to our aid when needed, by air or by land!
LifeNet 7-7 is based out of the Hornell Municipal Airport in Steuben County and began operations in April 2010. The Flight Crew quarters are located within the hanger and the crews are avail- able for immediate flight request.

mendmenT Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.Highlights of the Feb. 11, 2021 Alfred Town Board Meeting
Assessor, Spectrum, and SEQR
Our monthly board meeting was again held on Zoom and those in attendance heard first from town assessor Bobbi Elderkin. She re- ported that in general sales have been going up in the town. She also indicated that total assessed valuation had increased by about $1 mil- lion due to a restatement of special franchises, such as cable, phone, fiber, and power businesses.
Mark Meyerhofer representing Spectrum/Charter Communica- tions zoomed into the meeting to discuss the Spectrum cable TV franchise agreement with the town. The existing agreement expires in April and they are proposing another 15-year nonexclusive agree- ment. The old agreement had no franchise fee and the board engaged in a spirited discussion about franchise fees. Mr. Meyerhofer re- ported there are approximately 115 cable TV subscribers and that these days more households are streaming for their home entertain- ment. The board decided it would be unfair to indirectly tax cable TV subscribers and therefore resolved to have no franchise fee in the new contract with Spectrum/Charter.
The supervisor reported that a State Environmental Quality Re- view-SEQR must be conducted for the proposed sidewalk. This work will be done by the engineering firm Clark Patterson Lee at no cost to the town. The town, however, needs to be designated as the lead agency and the board resolved to do that.

Hoping That Perseverance Will Pay Off
Go Fetch, Rover! Fetch Some Rock Samples, I Mean —Or, And Go Dig Up A Bone, Or SomethingFossilized Anyway
Escaping this planet of ours, Perseverance has landed on Mars;
Earth is riddled with troubles galore And headed, no doubt, for lots more.
So kudos to li’l Perseverance
For its brilliantly-timed disappearance;
Cuz no blame can be put, anyplace, On a getaway trip out to space.
In an effort to read the red planet, And on some future mission, to man it, Some NASA propeller-hat whiz Made a box with a hat just like his:
A whirlybird! Tucked down inside, She too was sent off for the ride.
Her name says it all: Ingenuity—
Or’s it Three-billion-buck Super-flew-ity?
Things went fine, till they hit atmosphere;
NASA quoted, “There’s nothing…but fear….”
But the dread “seven minutes of terror”
Went off, it would seem, without error As Percy, with reckless abandon,
Plunged down, for a sight-unseen landin’—
Then reported from Jezero Crater Just 11.5 minutes later.
Officials in stripes (also, stars)
Announced from their booths-without-bars:
“Touchdown confirmed, after review!”
Heard from NASA, collectively: “Whew….”
Didja see the first pix it sent back?
Bit unclear, but still not out of whack:
Saw Ted Cruz in the one; t’other, Bernie…
Yeahhh…I’n b’lieve they was both on that journey.
That particular sector of space Is becoming a quite busy place:
U.A.E., and then China, arrived there—
Likely stay till their programs have thrived there.
So some friends are there too, unpretentious…
But hmm…what if things get contentious?
Yeah, we’ve gotta find life, quick, on Mars—
It’s just gotta be better than ours.
—Anon A. Martian

lack History Month (February) acknowl- edges the contributions of Black and Afro- Diasporic people globally. It is also a time for Alfred University to recognize and celebrate the people of color who have brought distinction to our institution.Laurie Meehan ’91, our University’s archivist, recently brought to our attention the story of Eliza Durant, a young woman from Haiti who enrolled in 1850 in the Teachers Course at Alfred Academy (which seven years later would become Alfred University) as our first Black student. At that time, it was remarkable that a woman was permitted to attend college on an equal basis as her male coun- terparts; it was even more extraordinary that, in this instance, it was a woman of color. Durant graduated in 1855 with a laureate of education de- gree. She returned to Haiti to teach after earning her Alfred degree.
While Durant died in the 1860s at a much too young age she played a pioneering role in estab- lishing Alfred University’s legacy of inclusivity.
We are the first institution of higher education in the United States to both admit women and allow them to pursue the same full course of studies of- fered to male students, and are one of the first to admit African American and Native American stu- dents. That legacy continues to be built upon by the many students of color who have attended Al- fred University and gone on to better our world since Durant’s time.
This year, we would like to recognize three young Black alumnae who already are making im- pactful professional marks— Kizzie Parks ’01, Chagmion Antoine ’04, and Yasmin Mattox ’07.
Kizzy earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Alfred University. During her time at Alfred, she was twice named recipient of the Presidential Leadership Award. She went on to earn master’s and doctoral degrees in organizational psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) in 2003 and 2007, respectively. While at FIT, she was named Outstanding Graduate Student in Industrial/
Organizational Psychology in 2006.
During her doctoral studies, in 2005, Kizzy founded K. Parks Consulting, Inc., (KPC) for which she currently serves as president. Since its founding, KPC has been awarded over $50 million in government contracts. The business serves the federal government by providing contract staffing, professional and information technology services, management training, and curriculum develop- ment.
In 2014, Kizzy was named by the Profiles in Di- versity journal as a “Woman Worth Watching,” and was also recognized as “Enterprising Woman of the Year.” Her company has been listed by Inc. maga- zine as among the 5,000 Fastest Growing Compa- nies and was ranked 18th among Top Education Companies on that list. Kizzy also has been named to the Entrepreneur 360 list published by Entrepre- neur magazine. Kizzy returned to Alfred University in 2011 to give a presentation titled "The Road to Becoming an Accidental Entrepreneur!"
Chagmion earned a B.F.A. degree (minor in
communication studies) and has enjoyed a ground- breaking career in journalism while appearing as an actor on numerous television networks and shows.
As a broadcast journalist, Chagmion is best known for her work with CBS News, where she was a reporter, anchor, and producer from 2005- 09. When she was hired by CBS at age 23—de- buting as part of the news team for the Logo Channel, the first ever 24-hour network focusing on the LGBTQ community, including lifestyle news and entertainment programming—she made history as the first LGBTQ female, and first LGBTQ person of color, to be featured on a na- tional news broadcast.

Week of Feb. 25-March 3, 2021 ALFRED SUN, PO Box 811, 764 Route 244, Alfred, NY 14802 607-587-8110
ALFRED–From Buffalo Bills players, to Shrek, to Cupid, the amazing snow sculptures by West Clarksville artist Eric Jones have been gaining a lot of attention lately, with onlookers flocking in droves from far and wide to catch a glimpse of these amazing frozen cre- ations.
Now, Jones has taken his talents to Alfred State, where he recently created a 4-foot-by-8-foot sculpture of the college’s mascot, Big Blue the Ox. The sculpture can be found on the Green Space between the Central Dining Hall and the Agriculture Science Building.
When asked what prompted him to make a sculpture at Alfred State, Jones noted that he “wanted to do some- thing a little bit different.”
“With COVID, there are a lot of restrictions on what we can do and can’t do on campuses now,” he said.
“This is something we can all enjoy.”
Carving from a giant block of snow, Jones began working on the ox sculpture on the morning of Feb. 15 as snow continued to fall and blanket the campus. When working with such a large subject, Jones, who is a well- known caricature artist, said he has to plot out his design rather than free-hand sketch it.
“I actually grid this off foot by foot and then I’ll paint it on the actual base and then I start carving the 3-D image and go into that process,” he said.
Snow is just one of the mediums that Jones uses to create incredible works of art, as he also carves sand, ice, snow, and even mud. Last fall thanks to his pump- kin-carving skills, Jones became a finalist on season 10 of Halloween Wars, a popular reality TV show on the Food Network.
Jones noted how pleased he was to get to do a snow sculpture on Alfred State’s campus.
“I love this place,” he said. “I went to school right across the street and I’ve been working for Alfred for a
lot of years. I do caricatures up here every spring, some- times in the fall, too, so I’ve been affiliated with the school for a long time. There are great people here.
They’ve been good to me, and I’m going to try to be good to them.”
As for all of the attention his snow sculptures have been getting lately, Jones said it’s been a lot of fun for him but added that the best part is that he has been able to raise funds and awareness for charities through these creations.
“With this COVID issue, charities are struggling.
They’re having a hard time taking in the money to do what they need to do, and we rely on those,” said Jones, who listed the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Kaely’s Kind- ness, and Oishei Children’s Hospital as examples of charities his sculptures have helped. “We’re using this momentum to help them, too.”
In the spirit of the occasion, Alfred State is hosting a snow sculpture contest for students from Feb. 15-19, with prizes awarded in several categories, including Best in Show, Most Unique, and Pioneer Pride.

(Continued from front page) (they are 42 x 54” in size). Young kids will be able to play on the “Prisms” while their families picnic or while their older siblings play basketball.
Older kids, teenagers and adults will also be able to use these elements as props for social gatherings and informal hanging-out.
In the time of the COVID pandemic, these elements can easily be moved apart to allow for physical distancing, but once the health precautions subside, “Prisms”
can also be brought together to form one large playzone.
Unique Challenges Create Unique Projects
The 2020 Challenge added a new ele- ment: each community that applied to the program partnered with a design part- ner—artists, landscape architects, design- ers and more—to think boldly about how a Play Everywhere installation could in- spire their community’s kids and families to play.
The winners met the challenge with new installations that will inspire kids to become future archeologists, run and crawl through mud, make music on jumbo-sized instruments and play while waiting at the bus stop.
Each of the winners expressed the need for flexible play options in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. They are working to meet local safety guidelines as they plan, install, activate and play upon their new playspaces.
A Winning Team
Based on their successful work with AACSA on its “Blue Dots” proposal, Jamrozik and Kempter partnered with AACSA to help develop a grant proposal for the Greg Norton Memorial Park.
“The artists were inspired by the vari- ety of uses in the relatively small area of the park (a basketball court, picnic shelter and green space),” Goho explained, “and they wanted to add playful elements that can be multifunctional and adaptable and can be moved to different parts of the site to enhance and create different opportu- nities for play.”
The Prisms can provide for physically distanced play, can be assembled as play- bars, can be piled up to create a mountain for climbing, or can be assembled side- by-side to form bleachers with a tunnel through which to crawl.
Built to Play Initiative
Since 2018, the Built to Play initiative, supported by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr.
Foundation, has served as a key partner in the expansion of Play Everywhere—a playspace concept that turns everyday spaces into playspaces. These creative in- stallations give kids and families oppor- tunities to play where they already spend time together.
In 2020, Kaboom! and the Ralph C.
Wilson, Jr. Foundation partnered together
again to hold the Play Everywhere De- sign Challenge.

s nutritional therapy is integrated into our lives, many necessary changes can seem overwhelming. Old habits die hard and often our worst cravings complain the loudest.While not negating the need to surmount these challenges, this week I want to bring you a dose of simplicity as we focus on a refreshing macronu- trient, water! Not only can hydration be a simple foundation to support, but the issues it can resolve are quite profound.
While we can only survive a few days without water, we can go years with varying degrees of de- hydration, handicapping the crucial roles water plays in our body. Some of these roles include oxy- gen delivery to the cells, transportation of nutrients, lubrication of joints, flushing toxins, and enabling cell-to-cell communication. Thus, dehydration is more than a dry mouth…it occurs on a cellular level. It is important to recognize dehydration and to know how to properly hydrate ourselves.
Dehydration manifests itself through early and mature signs:
Early→ fatigue, anxiety, irritability, depression, cravings, cramps, headaches
Mature → heartburn, joint pain, back pain, mi- graines, fibromyalgia, constipation, colitis
Have you experienced these symptoms? It is
possible that they are caused by something other than dehydration, however, why not find out!?
So, how do you get rehydrated? Every individ- ual’s needs vary depending on their activity level and diet. Still, a general rule for daily water con- sumption is half our body weight in ounces. This is a great place to start as you re-awaken your awareness of thirst! If you have not been drinking this amount, slowly work up to it over a 2-3 week period. Also, if you are drinking diuretics this will alter this ratio. For every 8 ounces of diuretic you consume (coffee, black and green tea, juice, alco- hol, soda, and other sugary drinks) you need to drink 12-14 ounces more of water. Instead of just adding in more water, I would encourage you to consider moderation and the nutritional quality if your diuretic! Is it benefitting you or creating an- other stressor on your body?
In conclusion, as you support your hydration, you can have lots of fun with your water. Add some fruit to your water for flavor or a pinch of mineral salt to enhance the electrolytes. Your cells will thank you!
