Setting the Record Straight
By ALAN LITTELL Special to the Alfred Sun ALFRED, Jan. 18—Two Al- fred University faculty members have joined forces to help ease food dependency in Alfred and the immediate area.
Sandra Singer, professor of German, and Michele Hluchy, professor of geology, have launched a fundraising cam- paign designed to purchase meals from Alfred village restaurants and catering services for distribution to needy families and individuals in Alfred, Alfred Station and Almond. A second- ary goal, they noted, is to sup- port the local businesses providing these meals.
“Right now our goal is to dis-
tribute 100 meals once a month January through April,” Singer said. “If we exceed our fundrais- ing target of $4,000, we will offer food distribution more fre- quently and may extend distribu- tion into May and June.”
As of this writing, three Alfred establishments, Uncle Alfred’s Sub Shop, Terra Cotta Coffee
House and Cambridge Catering, have agreed to participate. Each will be paid $1,000 for the preparation of 100 meals.
The first shipment was sched- uled for Jan. 21. Three area churches have been charged with the task of identifying resi- dents who would most benefit from food assistance. They are
Lighthouse Christian Fellow- ship, Union University and St.
Jude’s Chapel.
Singer and Hluchy have con- tracted with a national fundrais- ing corporation to receive and process donations. Go Fund Me, based in Redwood City, Califor- nia, operates exclusively online.
The firm’s website is go- fundme.com, and donors are asked to search by title, in this case “Alfred Main Street and Meals.” A 12.5% administrative tip is suggested but lesser amounts will be accepted.
According to Singer, the Al- fred project is not meant to com- pete with what she called “the excellent permanent programs already established to help local
residents, including food pantries, Meals-On-Wheels and the Wellsville Community Kitchen.”
“It is a short-term project to help alleviate some of the [food insecurity] suffering until we all make it through the Covid pan- demic.”
She singled out Hluchy, her program partner, for special commendation. “Michele Hluchy has done a lot of com- munity service,” Singer said,
“and was able to connect us to people right away who could help with the project.”
She added: Without Hluchy’s aid the Alfred program “would not have gotten out of the plan- ning stage.”
Food security enterprise launched in Alfred
By SHERYL HOUSE Special to the Alfred Sun
A
nti-slavery sentiment was strong in Western New York in the 1800’s and Allegany County is a prime example. In early October 1851, Frederick Douglass, then 33 years of age, made an anti- slavery tour presenting 14 lectures in 10 towns, most of the lectures held in churches.The American abolitionist, who escaped slavery in September 1838, spoke at Belfast, Friendship, Nile, Cuba, Rushford, Hume, East Allen, Granger, Alfred (Centre), and Almond then finished by going back to Belfast and Rushford.
Douglass eloquently relates his experiences and espe- cially about each stop in his journal written in Rochester, on October 16, 1851. From this journal we learn that each community welcomed him except Almond where he said the pro-slavery sectarianism closed church doors to him on October 9, 1851. He records that the Baptist church was under repairs and the Presbyterian church refused to admit his meeting. Consequentially his meet- ing was held in an old schoolhouse.
But The Centennial Memorial History of Allegany County, New York printed in 1896 organized by John S.
Minard, the county historian, and edited by Mrs. Georgia Drew Merrill tells a different story about the churches in Almond at that time.
The chapter specifically about Almond was written by D.A. Stebbins. There were three churches in Almond in 1851; Baptist, Methodist Episcopal and Presbyterian.
The Baptist church was organized on Feb. 15, 1826 and met in a schoolhouse until a building was put up in 1833. Later that building was remodeled and repaired in 1858.
The Methodist Episcopal church formed about 1848 holding their services in an old schoolhouse until they built a church between 1856 and 1858. So neither of those churches were doing a building project in 1851.
That leaves the Presbyterian church. John Reynolds wrote a paper, “The History of the Almond Presbyterian
Church and the Almond Union of Churches” in 1962.
He tells us that originally the church was called the Pres- byterian Church of Alfred because Almond was the prin- cipal community of Alfred Township. The church was established on May 5, 1812. In 1835 the original and
main portion of the church building was put up. That was enlarged in 1851 then modernized in 1873. There- fore the Presbyterian church in Almond was not avail- able to speakers in 1851.
From the differing accounts of Frederick Douglass and sources I found at the Almond Historical Society, we find what often happens in history: there are conflict- ing accounts.
It is my opinion that Mr. Douglass wrote his journal several days after being in an unfamiliar area and could easily have mixed up some facts regarding the churches in Almond. I have not been able to find any other docu- mentation regarding his being turned away from a church in Almond but his.
It would seem that the Presbyterian church was the one unavailable because of construction and that he may have actually spoken at the Methodist Episcopal church which was still meeting in an old schoolhouse. That leaves the Baptist church as possibly the one he said turned him away and I have found nothing regarding this in their file at the Almond Historical Society.
Two other interesting pieces of information regarding Almond’s Presbyterian church are that on June 18, 1839 an anti-slavery lecture was held there and their pastor, Rev. Dr. Joel Wakeman, was “a strong anti-slavery ad- vocate, …a strong supporter of the Union cause,” ac- cording to D. A. Stebbins in his paper “First Church Organized in Allegany County.”
On January 10, 1849, Dr. Wakeman presented the fol- lowing resolution at the regional meeting of Presbyteri- ans because there had been a problem with some in the Presbyterian church supporting slavery:
Some Presbyteries and churches in their assembly re- fuse to discipline members for the sin of slavery. Re- solved if those groups don’t take action by the next meeting the Assembly will withhold all correspondence and fellowship with them in the future.
Dr. Wakeman was pastor of the Almond Presbyterian Church from 1844-1865 after which he was appointed

[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. ]
When the days are really frosty, I like to make a chowder for dinner. My all-time favorite one is a corn chowder recipe given me by an elderly relative who had taught himself to cook when he lost his job and his wife had to go back to work. I’ve written about that recipe before.
Of course, all-time favorite chowder recipes are usually made with some kind of fish. However, while looking through an old cookbook for a totally different kind of recipe, a copy of an old mag- azine page fell out. It was a recipe for Beef Chowder. I have no idea where I got this recipe or how many years ago. Anyway, it is easy to make and is a dandy for those cold nights.
Beef Chowder
1½ lbs. ground beef 2 (10½ oz.) cans cream of celery soup
½ c. chopped celery 2 (16oz.) cans tomatoes, cut up
½ c. chopped onion 1 (17oz.) can whole kernel corn 1/3 c. chopped green pepper ¼ c. snipped parsley
Cook beef, celery, onion, and green pepper till meat is browned;
drain. Add remaining ingredients and ½ tsp. salt. Simmer, covered, 30 minutes. Stir often. Makes 8-10 servings.

By BECKY PROPHET Alfred Village Mayor A Call to a Day of Service
This year, Monday Jan. 18 is a federal holiday honoring the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King. It is also a day designated as a “Day of Service.” The tribute is so right and encourages individuals and groups to take a close look at their surroundings to see how each can make a true con- tribution to support those in distress and/or to make our world a better place. Dr. King’s legacy as a civil rights leader and a religious leader calls us all to honor his leadership in a non-violent movement to win equal rights for everyone.
King’s leadership inspired many during the late 1950’s up to his assassination on April 4, 1968. We were encouraged to work peacefully for change and to lift all. His work was carried on into the 1970’s and up to this very day through his compa- triots in the leadership of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Joe Lewis, long- time congressman from Georgia, one of the SCLC leaders passed away in August, leaving an open letter to future generations, titled “Together, You Can Redeem the Soul of the Nation.” In the letter, Lewis notes that the younger generation has the
opportunity and the knowledge to work across so- cial, economic, and political lines to bring the el- ements of our country together to work for justice and peace, moving America forward.
In this time of pandemic and in the face of great division, Lewis’s words and King’s legacy should bring us together to serve one another to create a healthier, safer, more equitable USA, returning to the world the proper image of a democracy, en- franchising every person to the greater benefit of all humanity. Equal access—a seat at the table—
should be our goal. Alfred, in particular, has a his- tory of engagement and volunteerism that has promoted such understanding and change. Our calls to service should continue to build on that.
As we all, in Alfred and in nearby places, make today a day of service, let us extend those positive contributions to weeks, months, and years to re- deem the soul of our nation to have the strength to address pain and suffering throughout the world.
To do this, we must all volunteer to serve good and constructive and positive causes that begin by rec- ognizing the humanity of all, no exceptions! Oh, and be sure to wear your mask and keep social dis- tance.
To the Editor:
January 6, 2021 will live, if not as a day of infamy, then as a day of insanity. The culmination of months of stress and frustra- tion. Not only had we endured the effects of pandemania and a deepening ideological divide, we had experienced the most con- tentious and problematic elec- tion season in history. These are volatile times with emotions at fever pitch.
It doesn't help when officials and the media stoke the fires of animosity we feel at the hypocrisy of the Left . Yesterday I heard a reporter on MSNBC talking about the "hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters who are domestic terrorists...."
and felt my blood boil. But we expect that from the MSM.
They've been doing it for over four years in complicity with Democrats whose hatred for Trump became the "be all end all." I just wish that our local of- ficials would stay out of it, at least until the FBI has finished its investigation.
Mayor Prophet absolutely has every right to express her per- sonal opinion, but doing so in a spot normally reserved for Vil- lage news was, in my opinion, inappropriate. Alfred is a small town that prides itself on being
"inclusive" and its local newspa- per has a diverse readership. Her views do not reflect those of all of us within her realm of influ- ence.
I was dismayed by her words
"....violent behaviors of these thousands..." while in actuality, it was a relatively very small ex- tremist group that entered the Capitol bent purely on mayhem.
I have my doubts that they were influenced in any way by Trump's words at the rally.
Their behavior was shocking, abhorrent, and extremely stupid if they thought their actions
would benefit the President. All anarchist groups, whether left or right, deserve our condemnation, and this mob in particular an- gered us because they paved the way to an ignominious end of a presidency that could.have held greatness. The majority of the people who attended were de- cent law-abiding citizens who were just as horrified, if not more so, than Democrats, at what happened. "Thousands"
were not there to commit insur- rection, nor to "topple the gov- ernment." Ironically, the words Kamala Harris used to justify her support of the BLM protests (quite often resulting in vio- lence) are the exact same reason why thousands made their way to DC.
It's too easy to place the blame for disaster solely on the Presi- dent's head, and I do not hold Trump blameless. He had to have known how dangerous it could be to hold his final rally there on that date. He could have ensured heightened security at the site. I believe, though, that his impeachment by the House was a knee-jerk reaction.
Some of us have not conve- niently "forgotten" the inciteful words of Maxine Waters and scenes of rioters violently attack- ing Police Departments and Fed- eral court houses last summer.
We haven't forgotten the mayors and governors who allowed BLM protests while keeping working Americans locked up in their homes. We haven't forgot- ten the riots at the White House

EDITORIAL PAGE
Wouldn’t THAT Be A Super Bowl L.A. rammed a Green Bay pack—
The football-playing sort.
Relentless did the Pack ram back, And the sheepish Rams fell short.
The Ravens flew to Buffalo And paid the Bills a visit;
The Bills blew back a gruff “hullo”, And “this ain’t yer day now, is it?”
The Browns marched down to Kansas City To make war at Arrowhead;
But by the end, though—what a pity—
The Chiefs had shot ’em dead.
Int’ N’ Orleans breezed the Buc’neers, matey, And beat to he...ck the Saints.
Hmm…
That there’s hope the Bills now might get Brady, A pretty picture paints.
—Oh Bradymous
Let’s just stop with the hate-filled commentary
From the mayor
in June. If there hadn't been a large police presence there, what would have happened?
It is also very disturbing that the Mayor, as many have irre- sponsibly done, made this into a race issue without justification, and without giving the authori- ties time to do an investigation and arrest the perpetrators. Dis- turbing, but not surprising, given the liberal penchant for injecting racism into every issue.
The letter submitted by Mr.
Steven Jakobi wasn't just dis- maying, it was hateful. He paints all "Trumpkins" as bigots, not in support of law and order, and undeserving of flying the Amer- ican flag. We proudly fly the American flag because we love this country. We have done so for 50 years. I displayed a Trump banner not so much because I ad- mired the messenger, but be- cause I agreed with his message.
I am curious as whether or not Mr. Jakobi noticed the protester who held a defaced American flag upside down at the weekly BLM peaceful protests in Alfred last summer. How did that make him feel? No Trump supporter would ever do that, or display an ACAB sign.
Let's just stop with the hate filled commentary, ok? Tempers and emotions need to cool. We all want America to survive, but we don't all agree on which path she should take to the future. If Joe Biden really wishes to unify us, he needs to listen to our voices too. All 75,000,000 of us.

Week of Jan. 21-27, 2021 ALFRED SUN, PO Box 811, 764 Route 244, Alfred, NY 14802 607-587-8110
ALFRED–Alfred State College (ASC) is proud to announce that Curlicia Smith, a digital media and animation major from Bronx, is among the 45 students in SUNY’s Educational Opportunity Pro- gram (EOP) who have recently been hon- ored with the Norman R. McConney, Jr.
Award for Student Excellence.
The award, now in its second year, rec- ognizes outstanding EOP students for their academic excellence and strength in overcoming significant personal obsta- cles throughout their lives.
The honor is named in memory of Nor- man R. McConney, Jr., a graduate of the University at Albany and former assistant dean for special programs at SUNY. Mc- Conney, alongside former Assembly Deputy Speaker Arthur O. Eve, helped create the EOP as a statewide program that has served 75,000 New Yorkers to date from underprivileged backgrounds.
Alfred State President Dr. Skip Sulli- van said, “We are very proud of Curlicia for earning the Norman R. McConney, Jr.
Award for Student Excellence. This honor is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and perseverance she has shown in her academic career at Alfred State, and we congratulate her on her con- tinued success at ASC in the Educational Opportunity Program.”
Alfred State Coordinator of Opportu- nity Programs Cyan Corwine said the Norman R. McConney, Jr. Award for EOP Excellence is special because it al- lows the college to recognize their incred- ible students, not just for their academic integrity, but for their grit, determination, resilience, and effort.
“While we are fortunate to have many wonderful students in our EOP family at Alfred State, we were so proud to nomi- nate Curlicia Smith for this prestigious award and overjoyed when she was se- lected as a recipient,” Corwine said.
“Curlicia is a resilient and dedicated stu- dent with a heart of gold and it was our absolute privilege to see her receive SUNY-wide recognition for all her ef- forts.”
Alfred State Director of Online Learn- ing Danyelle O’Brien, who has super- vised Curlicia as a student employee for the past couple of years, said, “Curlicia has been a wonderful member of our team in the Center for Online Learning during her time at Alfred State. She is al- ways willing to learn and help others.
Curlicia is dedicated to her academics and truly enjoys being creative. Seeing her artwork brings a smile to our faces just as she does. Curlicia has worked so hard during her time at Alfred State and has overcome challenges and hardship. It is wonderful that her perseverance is rec- ognized in receiving the Norman R. Mc- Conney, Jr. Award.”
Award recipients were honored in a vir- tual ceremony, with The Honorable Vic- tor Pichardo, a member of the New York State Assembly, providing the keynote address. Also providing remarks were SUNY Chancellor Dr. Jim Malatras, SUNY Trustee Camille Varlack, Senior Advisor to the Chancellor and Student Advocate Dr. John Graham, alumni speaker Ayuong Arop (SUNY Polytech- nic Institute), and student speaker Aesron Jeremiah (SUNY Farmingdale).
Since its inception in 1967, the EOP has provided access, academic support, and supplemental financial assistance to students from disadvantaged back- grounds, many of them the first in their
families to attend college. In its 53-year history, the EOP has served more than 75,000 students and evolved into one of the country’s most successful college ac- cess programs.

IN PRAISE OF IMPERFECTION
I
f there is one commonly held value in our divided culture, it is the idea—and the ideal—of perfection.We would like to eat the perfectly cooked burger (or steak, or ratatouille). We would like to go on the perfect vacation. We desire perfect health, a perfect relation- ship, a perfect retirement, and even a perfect death, whatever that might be. That the goal of perfection, whether in work or love, is elusive and for many unat- tainable only heightens the intensity of the struggle.
To this familiar but often destructive system of values, Zen teachings offer a salutary alternative. In her book Zen Seeds, the Soto Zen priest Shundo Aoyama Roshi (b. 1933) describes the characters on a hand-painted scroll hanging in a tea house. Some of the characters are misaligned, and one is missing. As Aoyama explains, when “ordinary people” practice calligraphy, they “go to great pains to achieve perfect alignment and would consider missing characters inexcusable.” But from the vantage point of classical Zen teachings, perfection is not necessarily a virtue. “When the line wavers,” wrote Zen master Murata Juko (1422-1502), “and characters are omitted . . . the effect is superior.” And, in the words of the Yoshida Kenko (1284-1310), “When everything is carefully regulated, it’s boring.” By contrast, imper- fection can be a source of interest, truth, and beauty, whether the context be visual art, the natural world, or the conduct of everyday life.
According to Zen aesthetics, such works of art as brush painting and ceramic wares reflect the imperma- nence and imperfection inherent in existence. Like such ordinary objects as ceramic bowls and wooden utensils, artistic forms have arisen from formlessness and are de- volving, however slowly, into that same formless state.
“Your cup,” an old Zen saying reminds us, “is already broken.” Accordingly, the beauty of a work of art resides as much in its transience and its perceived flaws as in its purity or perfection. Viewing artistic works in this way, we can value them at any stage of their creation, dura- tion, and eventual dissolution. And rather than judge them by some Platonic notion of perfection, we can en- deavor to appreciate them just as they are.
This same principle applies to the natural world. As Aoyama observes, “In Japan when we talk about cherry- blossom viewing, cherry blossoms must be in full bloom; if we talk about moon-viewing, it is understood that the moon has to be full. But it is possible to enjoy buds before they open, or to enjoy the scene of the petals
floating to the ground in the wind or, even more so, to savor the bare trees in winter, bereft of leaves. Rather than a bright moon in a cloudless, clear night sky, what about a moon adorned with clouds?”
Beyond the supposed imperfections in art and na- ture—the misaligned characters, the clouds across the moon—there are the imperfections intrinsic to the human condition. These may manifest in the world ex- ternal to the self and beyond its control: the flight de- layed for hours, the household appliance that fails in a year or two; the uneven public sidewalk. They may be observed in our ever-aging bodies: in skin no longer pli- able, in eyesight sorely in need of correction. Most dis- turbingly, imperfection may be experienced in our inner, emotional lives: in the ups and downs of our emotional thermometers, the fear and courage, anxiety and calm, anger and tenderness that may occupy our hearts in a single day or even a single hour. Whatever states of mind we may experience, lasting perfect happiness and endur- ing equanimity are unlikely to be among them.
To accept such imperfections, wholeheartedly and un- conditionally, is not only a way of coping in times as perilous as ours. It is also a mark of spiritual maturity.
In an essay on that theme, the Vipassana teacher Jack Kornfield identifies spiritual maturity with “nonideal- ism,” by which he means a view of ourselves and our lives that does not compare them to some posited or in- herited ideal. “The mature heart,” he writes, “is not per- fectionistic: it rests in the compassion of our being instead of in ideals of the mind. Nondualistic spirituality does not seek a perfect world; it does not seek to perfect ourselves, our bodies, our personalities. . . . Thus, it does not seek to gain or attain in spiritual life, but only to love and be free.”
To be sure, if your New Year’s resolution is to seek a perfect world, or to perfect your imperfect body, more power to you. But what Kornfield is suggesting, and what Zen practice over time confirms, is that abstract ideals of the perfect, whether in art, nature, or human re- lationships, are not only the “enemy of the good.” They
can also undermine the deeper aims of meditative prac- tice: to live as wisely as we can and to cultivate com- passion for ourselves and our fellow beings, however imperfect we may be.

Eaton Corporation donates equipment to AU’s CACT
ALFRED—Alfred University and its Center for Advanced Ce- ramic Technology (CACT) an- nounce the receipt of a donation of equipment from Eaton Corpo- ration, which will be used to de- velop new ceramic materials and manufacturing processes.
The donated equipment, from Eaton Corporation’s Power Sys- tems Division Materials Devel- opment Laboratory, located at the Thomas A. Edison Technical Center in Franksville, WI, in- cludes pilot-scale spray drying, attrition and vibratory milling, high-temperature processing, and control systems. It will be located at the IncubatorWorks facility in Alfred, which host’s Alfred University’s Center for Prototype Manufacturing, a pilot production facility focused on the development of multi-layer ceramic products and process
development.
IncubatorWorks, the only business incubator in the country dedicated to encouraging the growth of ceramics and glass start-up companies, supports New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s high-tech vision for making New York State a leader in the development of advanced materials and manufacturing processes.
“This donation further ex- pands the range of in-house ca- pabilities Alfred can offer to its industrial partners in assisting them to develop new ceramic materials and manufacturing processes,” stated CACT Exec- utive Director John Simmins.
“We have already identified a number of projects with ceram- ics companies in New York State that will immediately benefit from this equipment as they
work to bring new technologies into the marketplace.”
Eaton’s Thomas A. Edison Technical Center is a materials development, high power and voltage testing facility where Eaton engineers and scientists test and develop the products and technology to transform and regulate power delivery in medium voltage power distribu- tion systems.
Work at the Thomas A. Edison Technical Center focuses on high-voltage and high-power testing, materials development, and new product development for medium-voltage electrical distribution products.
Eaton’s Materials Develop- ment Laboratory worked with the CACT to coordinate the equipment donation. Chao Li, manager, Materials Develop- ment Laboratory, said, “We are
extremely happy that this equip- ment will be put to good use at Alfred University in the devel- opment of new ceramic materi- als. Eaton has a strong history of supporting academic institutions around the world, so this dona- tion aligns well with that his- tory.”
Added Li, “Ceramics play an
important role in technologies that enable grid integration of re- newables and for more efficient power management systems. Al- fred’s focus in both areas, through its College of Ceramics and its Renewable Energy Engi- neering department were a great match for this equipment.”
ALFRED–Alfred State Col- lege (ASC) was recently hon- ored with a Judges’ Citation for its entry in the “Cover” category in the 2020 SUNYCUAD Awards for Excellence.
The SUNYCUAD Awards recognize the very best efforts of the many talented and creative professionals throughout the SUNY system. This year, judges reviewed 252 individual submis- sions from 43 institutions across 29 categories, with 72 pieces
chosen for either a “Best of Cat- egory” or “Judges’ Citation Award.”
Alfred State was awarded for its 2019 variable data Viewbook cover. The Viewbook is a mar- keting and communications piece that is sent to prospective students, containing photos of students and campus life, and such information as Open House dates, tuition costs and fees, and a current student profile.
