Rocket carrying AU cargo docks at International Space Station
ALFRED–A rocket carry- ing three-dimensional objects created at an Alfred Univer- sity lab has successfully docked at the International Space Station. The objects will remain on an external platform at the space station and will later be analyzed for how they react to the extreme environments of outer space.
The Northrup Grumman Antares rocket NG-12 was launched Saturday, Nov. 2, under the National Aeronau- tics and Space Administration (NASA) Commercial Resup- ply Services mission. The rocket, which carried a Craig Technologies Aerospace So- lutions on-orbit experimental facility arrived Monday, Nov.
4 just before 10 a.m. EST.
The rocket’s payload con- tained ceramic objects created on the ExOne 3-D printer housed in Alfred University’s Ceramic Research Education and Technology Enterprise (CREATE) Center. The ob- jects will be secured in the Craig X Flight Test Platform, which mounts on the Interna- tional Space Station’s Exter- nal Platform.
Craig Technologies is a Cape Canaveral, FL, firm that engineers, designs, proto- types, manufactures and tests a wide variety of mission-crit- ical systems for a diverse range of customers and oper- ates a nationally-recognized Aerospace & Defense Manu- facturing Center.
Xingwu Wang, professor of electrical engineering and re-
newable energy engineering at Alfred University, said the objects will be tested for how they hold up against the vibra- tions of the rocket launch and flight as well as the harsh ra- diation environment found in outer space.
After six months, Wang said, the materials will be re- turned the Earth. Researchers at Alfred University will use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis to determine the extent of damage to the materials due to exposure to outer space radiation.
The experiments are part of
a larger research effort to de- termine how ceramic objects can be created on the moon and on Mars using lunar and Martian soil. The research was the subject of a cover story in the August 2018 American Ceramic Society (ACerS) Bulletin, titled “To Infinity and Beyond: Outer Space Applications of 3-D Ceramics Printed Via Ink Jet Methods.”
Wang was one the co-au- thors of the article, which out- lined the need for small, functional ceramic compo- nents – radiation detectors,
humidity sensors, chemical sniffers – to aid in establish- ing exploratory bases on the moon and/or Mars.
Shipping the components to outer space destinations is ex- tremely expensive and limits their on-site inventory, the ar- ticle notes. Manufacturing the ceramic components with three-dimensional printing, using binding agents (adhe- sive materials) and lunar and Martian soils significantly de- crease the cost of shipping the components from Earth to outer space.
The International Space
Station “remains the spring- board to NASA’s next great leap in exploration,” includ- ing missions to the moon and Mars, according to a press re- lease from NASA announcing Saturday’s mission.
“Space station research also provides opportunities for other U.S. government agen- cies, private industry, and ac- ademic and research institutions to conduct micro- gravity research that leads to new technologies, medical treatments, and products that improve life on Earth.”
BOLIVAR–On Monday evening, Alfred State College (ASC) Architec- ture students unveiled the final product of their Community Visualization Study to a full house of over 50 Bolivar residents and community members at a 7 p.m. presentation that took place at the Bolivar-Richburg High School.
As a part of a senior-level Architec- ture Design Studio Course, made pos- sible through funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission, this project allowed ASC students to work with and for a real client – im- mersing themselves in the historic, eco- nomic, social, and environmental
characteristics of the community and developing creative solutions to trans- form Bolivar into an alluring destina- tion. By focusing on principles like branding, placemaking, and commerce, the students re-envisioned the commu- nity as a hub of economic and social self-sufficiency and self-reliance – a concept dubbed as the “New American Rural” community.
The students presented their creative work, which included high-quality de- tailed renderings to illustrate their sug- gestions, in a way that looked at the village in four sectors or focus areas;
these areas included:
•Upper Main Street (which included structures like Café Jacob, the Dollar General, and the historic Bolivar Hotel)
•Lower Main Street (extending from the intersections of Main and Wellsville Streets to Olive Street, in- cluding structures like the Pioneer Oil Museum and the Bolivar Shop n’ Save)
•The former Hahn & Schaffner Pipe Company located to the West of Main Street, which the students re-conceptu- alized as ‘Pioneer Point’ (it is the cur- rent location of the second site of the Pioneer Oil Museum)
•The Southern Gateway to the Vil- lage, which incorporated community
spaces like the Moore Memorial Pool and Shaner Park
In each focus area, students provided innovative design interventions that sought to facilitate increased commu- nity connectivity, walkability, and pro- mote community engagement.
Thoughtful suggestions related to the timing or phasing of the projects being proposed were also provided by the students and broken into short-term, in- termediate, and long-term categories.
The short-term projects included rel- atively simple additions – like adding trees and vegetation to Main Street, in-

ELIZABETH J. “LISA”
PORTER Saxon Glass supervisor ANDOVER–Elizabeth J.
“Lisa” Porter died Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019 as a result of a vehicle accident.
Lisa was born on April 11, 1965 in Niagara Falls to Ed- ward and Margie (Mingus) Pawlak. On May 27, 1988 she married her heart's love Bernard H. "Bernie" Porter, who preceded her in death on Oct. 12, 2017. She was em- ployed as a supervisor at Saxon Glass Technologies in
Alfred.
Lisa is survived by her chil- dren, Robert E. Porter (Kristin Fahs) of Andover and Ashley E. Porter (Daniel Nybeck) of Corning; granddaughters, Arieanna Elizabeth Porter of Andover and Brynna Kay Nevol of Corning; uncles, John Mingus of Grand Island and Rich (Mary) Pawlak of Niagara Falls; cousins, Raetina Pawlak of North Tonawanda and Randy Pawlak of Niagara Falls; her in-laws Beverly and Ronald Porter of Niagara Falls; and dear friend Kodiak, her beloved German Shepherd.
Along with her parents and her husband, Lisa was prede- ceased by her brothers, Ed- ward Michael Pawlak and David Walter Pawlak. She was very close to her father and Lisa's brothers doted on her which was evidence of their extremely caring and loving relationship.
Lisa was a true animal- lover with a place in her heart for horses and ponies, fish, chickens and roosters, a cat, two dogs, and even tree frogs.
Being outdoors was a balm to
her and she had a green thumb, noticeable in her abundant gardening. Being outdoors was a theme even for vacations as she enjoyed going to the lake and camp- ing; she especially enjoyed Allegany State Park.
These were the best of the times that she and Bernie shared together.
Lisa was one to keep things constant. She kept her chil- dren's bedrooms as they left them as she didn't have the heart to erase their impres- sions from her home, which was her sanctuary and peace.
Love describes Lisa's char- acter. She adored her grand- daughters and was hard pressed to ever tell them
"No." She was a very friendly and outgoing personality who loved her friends well.
Calling hours were from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5 at Baker-Swan Funeral Home in Andover followed by her fu- neral service at 7 p.m. with Rev. Christian Mattison of the First Presbyterian Church of Andover officiating. Online condolences may be offered at www.baker-swan.com.
[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. ]
Brussels Sprouts are, perhaps, an acquired taste. Their fla- vor is strong and they sometimes seem rather tough. Even though they are related to the cabbage, cabbage has a much sweeter and milder taste. Here is a recipe that pairs white beans and cheese with the sprouts to add other more subtle flavors.
And, of course, the sprouts and the beans are very good for you.Brussels Sprouts with White Beans and Pecorino 8 T. extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1 (15 oz.) can white kidney 2 lb. Brussels Sprouts, trimmed beans, drained
& cut in half lengthwise 2 T. butter
6 garlic cloves, chopped 1 c. coarsely grated pecorino 1 c. low-salt chicken broth
Heat 3 T. oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. When just about to smoke add half of Brussels Sprouts. Cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer to large bowl.
Heat 3 T. oil in same skillet. Add remaining sprouts, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about five minutes. Transfer sprouts to same bowl. Add remaining oil to skillet; increase heat to high. Add garlic; saute till brown, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add broth and sprouts. Cook until sprouts are crisp-tender, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.
Add beans and butter; stir until butter melts and broth is reduced to glaze, about 1 minute.
Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cheese. Serves 8.

As we traveled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, last week, we encountered several of these campaign signs. We commented to each other that the poor guy had probably been “heckled” quite a lot, growing up. A quick trip to Google as we traveled north gave us the back story. Dave Heck and Al Kling are both running for re-election as Man- heim Township commissioners, affording the opportunity to produce this possibly tongue-in-cheek visual. We actually commented to each other that it might be a joke.

Sunday, Nov. 10. The meeting will be held at 24 Portage Street in Nunda. The program is free and open to the public, but do- nations are gratefully accepted.
This program will deal with the changes in medicine be- tween the Revolutionary War and the end of the American Civil War. Losses in the Civil War due to disease and lack of proper medical care cost the lives of far more soldiers than deaths from gunfire and bayonets on the battlefield.
Mr. Buell, an American history teacher for 34 years, has been a Civil War reenactor for the last 22 years, 18 as a surgeon. As an active member of the Society of Civil War Surgeons and of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick, Maryland, he has participated in many seminars and workshops relating to medicine as practiced in the Civil War.

ALMOND–What.s “Golden Spike 150”? Innovative soc- cer shoes for senior citizens?
No! Come to the Almond His- torical Society November meeting on Sunday, Nov. 17 and listen to Allegany County Historian Craig Braack give an exciting account of his per- sonal celebration in May in Utah of the sesquicentennial of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad.
A perennial favorite, Craig will not disappoint his audi- ence with stories and pictures, interspersed with his famous
“quizzes” about this historic event. In his matchless style, he will tell the story of the
“thousands of workers who toiled in harsh conditions, fu- eled by meager provisions but hoped for a better life. When the last spike was driven, our country dramatically changed. The legacy of this moment on May 10, 1869, proves great things are possi- ble with vision, hard work,
dedication, ingenuity and col- laboration.”
According to the website,
“the celebration brought to- gether 20,000 people from six continents and around the state of Utah for more than 150 celebratory events. There were pageants and produc- tions, horse parades and train
festivals, art exhibits and new musicals, plays, and sym- phonies and operas were composed and debuted across the state as Utahans shared their pride of their contribu- tions to the completion of the transcontinental railroad.”
Craig was there to experience it firsthand. Do not miss this fascinating talk – and begin to understand what this momen- tous event meant to the entire USA!The Hagadorn House on the corner of Main and Kar- rdale Avenue (at the red light) will open at 2 p.m., with the AHS annual meeting to be held at 2:30. Louise Schwartz, president, will conduct the election of officers and report on this year’s activities. Two board members will be elected, with the nominating committee presenting the names of Cindy Banker and Adam Evans for three-year terms. Refreshments will be served.

The Humorist-Poet-Musician-Theologian-Mathematician, Still Looking For A Job In His Field
I Thought 401K Was The Annual SalaryOr, Don’t Quit Your Day Job Just YetOr,
I finally heard of a job for which I meet practically every re- quirement:
Retirement.
I’ll tell all about it, as soon as I’ve experienced it and explored it…Once I can afford it.
—Poor Nonymous Dear Editor,
Semper Fi is the greeting offered whenever two Ma- rine’s realize they are in the presence of a fellow Marine.
Semper Fidelis means – al- ways faithful. The following is an excellent example of that term.
My father was a Marine, and my cousin but the man that most inspired me to be- come a Marine, was 1st Lt.
James N. Sweet, from South Lima, NY. Jim was an Alfred State College graduate and my uncle’s brother-in-law. I spent countless hours at the Sweet home in South Lima, and even though he was a few years older, Jim was always kind and caring and shared many stories with me, as we became friends.
In May of 1968 Jim re- ceived orders for Vietnam, so we had a going away party for him. That night my uncle got out a bottle of Michelob beer and said “Jim, I am going to keep this cold for you and when you return we will drink it together.” At the time we were thinking 13 months, a typical tour. Sadly on October 17th, 1968 flying a medevac helicopter attempting to re- trieve wounded marines, Jim was shot down and all on board were lost.
Last summer I received a call from my cousin Shannon (Uncle Keith’s youngest son) who is now an E8 in the Air force. He and his wife Penny were heading to New York and he asked if I remembered the beer. This was about 50 years after the fact and Shan- non was not even born yet.
He proceeded to tell me that his dad had kept that beer cold his entire life and then passed the responsibility on to him.
As the years went by Shan- non made sure Jim’s brother Mike received the beer and he in turn kept that beer cold through the years. Shannon informed me that Jim’s brother Mike wanted him to contact me and my best friend Don Higgins, so we could go to Jim’s grave at St. Michael’s Cemetery in Livonia and fi- nally give Jim the beer that was meant for him.
I contacted Don and he asked if the Patriot Guard Riders could attend and after checking with Mike we de-
cided to honor Jim in a more vibrant way. I contacted a Marine recruiter from Rochester, who attended in Dress Blues and read the letter the Sweet family had received from Jim’s commanding offi- cer. Skip Sullivan the presi- dent of Alfred State College attended and spoke elo- quently. Many legislators and dignitaries from Livingston County attended as well as many veterans. Shannon was in his Air Force dress uniform and led us with stories and a poem called “Low Flight.”
We opened the beer and Shannon, myself and Don took a sip – it was still good.
Then Shannon and Mike poured the beer on Jim’s grave. Taps and the Marine Corps Hymn were played.
Jimmy finally got his beer.
SEMPER FI.
Brent L. Reynolds 773 Route 244 Alfred Station
Dear Editor,
Last week’s sarcastic but anonymous letter writer (“Those Donald Trump Ties to the Russian Government”) completely misses the point.
Neither John Podesta (how many people even know who he is) nor Hilary Clinton is the president of the United States.
The Clinton Foundation is not an official arm of the United States government.
And while many people are calling the treatment of the Ukrainian president a “quid pro quo” arrangement, let me call it for what it truly is:
blackmail. When Trump with- holds funds already allocated by Congress in order to get the Ukrainians to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, what else could you call it but blackmail?
But this should not be sur- prising. In all of Trump’s busi- ness dealings, he used the tactics of threats, bullying, in- timidation and blackmail to deal with his adversaries. But here we are not talking about some New Jersey casino or California beachfront prop- erty. This is real life, affecting real people around the world.
And threatening not to give military aid to Ukraine only helps Russia and Putyin.
I would like to make one final point. I have implored

WELLSVILLE–The late Ralph Allen was impressed with Allegany County’s Hart Comfort House in Wellsvlile after both his cousin/brother- in-law Duane Green and his nephew Mark Green were cared for there in their last days on earth.
“Dad saw the words ‘Not All Angels are in Heaven’ on the car of their friend Gloria Nilsson,” explained daughter Sherry Winans, “He planned to make either stained glass or a wood plaque with this phrase on it and give it to the Hart House because of the wonderful love and care that all the volunteers provide.”
“While he was in the hospi- tal, he tried to work up what he wanted to do but, sadly, he passed before he could com- plete it,” she continued.
Well, Sherry’s “daughter- in-love,” Erika Winans, got the wood and made the sign for Betty Allen and wrote on the back of it, “In Loving Memory of Ralph Allen.”
So, before Betty departed for Florida, the family visited

Alfred ArtWalk Nov. 21 features ‘Crumb Shot’
Wellsville annual holiday auction to beautify Wellsville Main Street
Hart House last week to pres- ent it to the Hart House staff.
“They were very grateful for the thoughtful gesture and said they would put it up in a special place in the House,”
Sherry said.
The sign’s message was personified by Erika’s action even as it is daily personified by the loving staff of the Hart Comfort House.

Although nutritional therapy plays a MAJOR key in your health, proper diet is not everything. There are other therapies that we need to intentionally incorporate into our rou- tine in order to thrive. Herbalism is one of those. Without herbs, my work as a nutritionist would be highly stunted. For this reason, I am teaming with Mark Tulk, Clinical Herbalist, to bring you the class: Supporting Your Immune System with Herbalism and Nutrition. It will be this Sunday, November 10th.* So I want to take this week to whet your appetite with some thoughts on herbalism and immune health.
Herbs, in reality, are nutrients. So herbalism could be umbrellaed under nutritional therapy.
However, there is a distinction between using a variety of fresh and dried herbs in your diet (which I highly encourage!) and leveraging herbal benefits at a therapeutic dose. Herbs are great for acute health concerns--they can kick out an infection, heal a wound, and act as a painkiller. They also are amazing for resolving chronic health issues as the nutrients work to repair the body to its optimal function.
Many pharmaceutical medications boast the
same results as herbal remedies. However, the distinguishing difference is that herbs come without the side-effects. You can build your body without tearing it down at the same time.
As we are getting through cold and flu sea- son, Mark and I want to equip you to effec- tively battle the sicknesses that your family experiences. The strategy is to build your body up against the sickness, rather than always uti- lizing medication which weaken your immune system--making you more susceptible to chronic inflammation and diseases.
Remember, our bodies are designed to be disease fighting machines. When we provide them with the proper therapeutic nutrients we will enjoy vibrant health! Are you ready to marry the therapies of nutrition and herbalism in your lifestyle?

(Continued from front page) corporating aesthetically pleasing streetlights and branded banners on Main Street, and com- missioning a mural that reflects the commu- nity’s identity located on the Boss Street facing side of Tru-Value Hardware.
Other notable intermediate and long-term projects included the transformation of the Pi- oneer Oil Museum Hahn & Schaffner site into Pioneer Point, a destination that would include a new museum visitor center, mixed retail, and dining; a new amphitheater for live outdoor music, meetings, and lectures at the Moore Me- morial Pool; and the development of a self-sus- tainable craft brewing operation called Bolivar Brewing Company.
Community members were wowed by the dramatic changes proposed by the students and voiced their overwhelming enthusiasm to begin work on making the transformations a reality in the community, leading some community mem- bers to ask, “When can we get started?” Others were cautiously optimistic, interested in explor-
ing the practical means to obtain funding for, and accomplish, the short-term projects before setting their sights on the long-term dreams for the community.
Professor of the Design Studio class, Bill Dean, reassured community members that all the work completed by the students over the course of this project is at the disposal of the community. A joint Town and Village Compre- hensive Planning Committee, which released Bolivar’s first ever Strategic Plan for the com- munity back in August, will now use public feedback to integrate the ASC students’ ideas into the community plan, which will support fu- ture efforts to pursue funding for these projects.
The next stop for the ASC Architecture stu- dents is Washington D.C., as they continue on to present their completed project before the end of the semester. In the meantime, the com- plete electronic presentation of the final product will be made available to the Town and Village for public viewing.
