Alfred’s Terra Cotta Roofs
By SHERRY VOLK with Sandra Snyder McGraw ALFRED–Appropriately, we met at Terra Cotta Coffee House to talk about Sandy McGraw’s quandary with the terra cotta roof on her house at 53 South Main Street in Alfred.
The nineteenth century struc- ture has worn a crown of terra cotta tile for more than a century.
In mid-August, however, a wil- low behind the home crashed onto a portion of that roof, de- stroying a section, then raked its way on down, punching out a first floor window before com- ing to rest.
McGraw detailed careful work she and her husband, Roger, have consistently done to maintain the roof. At times they have carefully slid flashing up under the valley tiles to stop leaks.
They found themselves learn- ing about repair, as well, notably on the “bump” tile (please see photo) which fell off and broke into several pieces. It lived in a bucket for about a year while Sandy tried to decide what to do about it. Because of its promi- nent placement, the repair had to be quite well done.
Ultimately, using grinders,
“puzzle piece” technology, epoxy, and a bit of terra cotta colored paint, she repaired it with Roger’s very capable help, producing quite a lovely result.
The biggest problem in terms of tiles is what are called “rake”

Roof at 53 South Main suffers irreparable tree damage
The Slate Creek One-room School is owned by the Town of Hartsville. It was opened in 1845. Today it is a part of the Hartsville Mu- seum maintained by care- taker Steve Cotton. The restored schoolhouse was opened to the public in 2019. Just recently it was visited by Actor Bill Pull- man and Family who hosted a Fall school picnic.

tiles. These are the tiles which form the edges of the roofs, and in consultation with Terry Palmiter, an expert, McGraw
learned that these are simply not available – for any price. She has used red tin (please see photo) to imitate those edge
tiles, but every year she finds pieces of them in the yard and the problem grows.
The damage caused by the
tree, which was removed by son, Aaron (Select Logging & Tree Care), is what ultimately caused the demise of another of Alfred’s iconic terra cotta tile roofs.
Faced with tile replacement costs simply out of reach, Mc- Graw has made the difficult and emotionally fraught decision to replace the entire roof at 53 South Main with terra cotta col- ored shingles.
In addition to the sadness she feels for her own loss, McGraw recognizes the loss to the com- munity of another bit of history.
She has considered the costs carefully and believes that safety, and a secure, leak-less roof is the best choice.

TIMOTHY H. JOYCE The Life of the Party WELLSVILLE–Timothy Harold Joyce, 40, passed away on Monday, Oct. 18, 2021 as a result of an automobile accident.
JEANETTE ELIZABETH CAMBRIA
Grew up on Kent Farms ANDOVER–Jeanette E. Cam- bria, 69, of Andover, passed away Monday, Oct. 25, 2021 in Cleveland, Ohio.
Born in Hornell to Donald and Elizabeth (Kibbler) Kent on April 15, 1952, Jeanette was raised in Andover with her brother Tom Kent on the locally famous Kent Farms.
Jeanette is dearly loved and deeply missed by her husband, David S. Cambria; her three
Mr. Joyce was born in Fort Mey- ers Fla. on Feb. 9, 1981 to Robert C. Joyce and Rebecca J.
Golden. He was a 1999 graduate of Andover Central School. In 2004, at State University of New York, College of Technology at Alfred, he earned his Associates Degree in Civil Engineering and his Bachelors Degree in Con- struction Management. On Sept.
1, 2007, in the field of their fam- ily homestead in Wellsville, he married Rebecca Marie Bellows, who survives.
Timothy was currently work- ing with JJ Contracting Corp. in Auburn as a Project Manager for SVDOB Federal and State con- tracts. He previously worked as an Electrical Distribution Tech- nician for the Village of Wellsville, and as a Field Engi- neer/Project Manager for the
Bridge Division for Monroe County Department of Trans- portation.
Along with his wife, Tim is survived by three children, Lane Kathryn Joyce, Easton Reid Joyce and Rhett Callen Joyce, all of Wellsville; his father, Robert (Brenda) Joyce of An- dover: his mother, Rebecca (Gary) Friend of Wellsville;
three sisters, Stephanie Ann (Bradley) Swann of Mayo, Maryland, Kristy Elaine Joyce of San Antonio, Texas and Nicole Brennan of Moosup, Connecticut; five brothers, Ernest (Tamika) Soullier of Cumberland, Rhode Island, Paul ((Nicole) Soullier of Oak- land, Rhode Island, Peter Soul- lier of Johnson, Rhode Island, Scott (Kristy) Friend and Tim Friend, both of Maryland; his
Aunt Annie and Uncle Dick of Victor; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Doug and Kathy Bellows of Wellsville; a brother- in-law, Eric (Claire) Bellows;
three special friends, Chris (Jamie) Root of Scio, Shane (Heather) Vogel and Jason (Liz) Huyler, both of Wellsville; sev- eral nieces, nephews and cousins; a host of dear friends;
faithful canines, Woody and Ox- ford; and the family cat, Sully.
Tim was predeceased by an in- fant brother, Daniel Harold Joyce, as well as four children by miscarriage.
Tim’s memberships included Wellsville Elks Lodge 1495, Wellsville Country Club, the National Wildlife Turkey Feder- ation, the Association of General Contractors, the Association of Bridge Construction & Design, the United States Golf Associa- tion, and the Quality Deer Man- agement Association. He was the president of the Wellsville Wrestling Club and was instru- mental in reviving this organiza- tion. He also served on the board of the Wellsville Little League Association. Tim was an or- dained minister and had wed many of his friends.
Hunting was, by far, his fa- vorite hobby. He loved turkey hunting, duck hunting and deer hunting—in exactly that order of preference. The Straight Arrow Hunting Camp in Canisteo was a favorite hangout and the men he shared time with were influ- ential mentors in Tim’s life. He truly enjoyed golfing with friends. Tim gladly spent time with friends and family boating, snowmobiling, jeepin’, and making maple syrup. His profes- sional team of choice was the Buffalo Bills. But they couldn’t compete with the Papa Bear pride he projected while watch- ing his own children compete.
As their number one fan, Tim lived to watch his daughter on the soccer field and in the pool,
and his boys on the wrestling mat and baseball field.
Tim was the life of the party, showing up with that contagious smile, and his boom box in hand. His laugh would soon fill the room, as he displayed his amazing undiscovered rap- singing talent. He had a charis- matic personality that made all of his friends feel special. Terms of endearment for Tim included;
“Slim” from his best buddies,
“Timmy” from his wife and friends, and “Papa Bear,” to ex- press his loving, protective, na- ture toward his wife and children.
He absolutely adored his chil- dren, family, and friends and wanted nothing more than to create a “home” for them. His growing passion was to spend his life creating a beautiful rela- tionship with each one of them and his Mama Bear. He had be- come convinced that there was nothing more important for him to be than a good Daddy.
Tim was a faithful husband and created a sense of safety and security for his wife. He brought fun to their marriage in many ways such as spontaneous vaca- tions with endless stories, like getting matching coordinate tat- toos. He had her back, as she felt deeply loved.
Calling hours were held from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 24 at Baker-Swan Funeral Home in Andover. A memorial service was held at 11 a.m. Monday, Oct. 25 at the Crosstown Al- liance Church in Wellsville with Pastors Jeremy Gorham and Jon Schink officiating.

fred State College and worked his entire life in construction.
Along with his companion LeDorna D.

Frank’s ride of choice was Harley-Davidson and he was ex- hilarated by a nice long ride. He enjoyed browsing classic car and truck shows and shooting the breeze with friends.
He and LeDorna celebrated 39 years of a wonderful life to- gether. They enjoyed many ex- periences and especially loved the simple things of life. They had great fun hitting flea mar- kets in the summer time and hosting the family cook outs.

While living in various places, she spent most of her remaining decades in northeast Ohio – fi- nally residing in Macedonia, Ohio. She served as a nurse, car- ing for people throughout her life.
She was known for her great
sense of humor, tender heart, and her determined and unwa- vering spirit. She was a stay-at- home mom who cherished raising her children. Her favorite way to relax was to get away to Keuka Lake, or simply enjoy her family, friends, and fur babies.
Jeanette was a Christian and raised her children to love the Lord.

[Editor’s Note: Like most of the recipes she shared with our read- ers over the past couple of decades, Sunny Side Up columns by the late Ellen Shultz are worth repeating. ]
Always on the lookout for a new chili recipe, I opened an e-mail that said Recipe4Living. Because I write a newspaper column about food, I am constantly sent e-mails trying to sell me something food related or just get me to mention their product in the paper.
This recipe was in the message and it intrigued me because of the addition of lima beans. I’m not sure it really qualifies as chili since there are no tomatoes in it, and I don’t believe I have ever seen limas in a chili recipe. Anyway, I made it and served it to friends and it was a hit.
Crockpot Beans 1 can kidney beans ½ lb. bacon 1 can pinto beans 1 c. ketchup 1 lg. can pork and beans 1 med. onion 1 can lima beans ¼ c. vinegar 1 lb. ground beef 2 T. liquid smoke salt and pepper to taste
Brown and drain ground beef. Open all cans of beans and add beef and beans to crockpot. Fry, drain, and crumble bacon and add to crockpot. Dice onion and add with remaining ingredients. Cook on low 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally. (I drained the limas, but not the other beans.)

Kappa Sigma Epsilon volunteered on Saturday, Oct. 23 to help clean up Kenyon Playground and Crandall Garden. In spite of cold, rainy weather, the brothers worked hard for the village, rak- ing leaves to the curb and cleaning out piles of brush and trash from Crandall Garden. Knotweed was pulled up by the roots, huge branches taken out and old carpets were dug out and moved. This was all done because it was too cold and rainy to paint the play- ground. With guidance from Allecia Butzman, Crandall Garden is going to be refurbished and made beautiful again. It is one of the projects approved for the DRI Grant Alfred was awarded. Getting rid of the trash and brush will make it easier for the next steps needed to restore the garden.
The brothers worked together in crews to get everything done.
The last project they completed was to plant dozens of bulbs around the playground. Watch for the new blooms next spring. The Village of Alfred has always depended on volunteers, from building the village hall in the 19th century to the present. KSE donated generously with their time and energy--please thank them when you see them around town! (Photo provided)
ALMOND–Would you be- lieve that the first coast-to-coast air flight took place in 1911 – 110 years ago – and made a crash landing in nearby Canis- teo?Come to the Almond Histori- cal Society’s presentation of the astounding story of the Vin Fiz on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 14, at 3 p.m. Guest speaker will be John Babbitt of Canisteo, who has done considerable research into this incredible event.
Less than eight years after Orville and Wilbur Wright’s suc- cessful 852-foot North Carolina flight, Calbraith Perry Rodgers entered a contest by William Randolph Hearst who offered a
$50,000 prize to the first aviator
to fly coast to coast in less than 30 days start to finish. The first private citizen to buy a Wright Model B airplane, Rodgers named the plane after Armour Company’s new grape soft drink Vin Fiz, whom he had persuaded to sponsor his flight.
The flight began at 4:30 pm, Sept. 17, 1911, when Rodgers took off from the Sheepshead Bay Race Track in Brooklyn, New York.
Although the plan called for a large number of stops along the way, in the end there were 75, including 16 crashes, and Rodgers was injured several times. One of those crashes took place outside Canisteo and is de- tailed in the book, Flight of the

Vin Fiz by E. P. Stein. We were once told by the late Jim Thomas that his dad, Getchell Thomas, one of Almond’s long-gone old- timers, witnessed the crash.
The program will be presented at the meeting room of the Ha- gadorn House, Almond Histori- cal Society, 7 Main Street, Almond. The society’s annual meeting/election of officers will be held at 2:30 p.m. prior to the program. The public is invited to attend.
Almond Historical Society program will tell of Vin Fiz crash in Canisteo
ing volunteers: Andy Eklund (vice-president), Cam Duke, Catherine Chambers, Kert Decker,, Linell Soule (secre- tary), Peter McClain (treasurer), and Laurel Buckwalter (presi- dent). Feel free to contact one of them if you have questions.
All charities funded give serv- ices to the Alfred and Alfred Sta- tion community. The top three charities funded are: A. E. Cran- dall Hook and Ladder Com- pany’s ambulance service, the Office for the Aging’s Personal Emergency Response System, and the Alfred Station Fire Com- pany.
New this year on the list is the Alfred-Almond Community Sports Association. A large num- ber of youth from Alfred and Al- fred Station are involved in that program. The Red Cross is re- turning to the list after an ab- sence of a few years. Off the list just for this year are the Alfred Food Pantry, due to its current very large bank balance from generous contributions during the pandemic, and the Senior Nutrition Site, which has not been meeting in the past year.
The other charities are the Al- legany County Mental Health Association, Allegany County SPCA, Hart Comfort House, Association for the Blind and Visually Handicapped, Literacy West, Cub Scout Pack 1026, Boy Scout Troop 19, ARC Spe- cial Olympics, Baker’s Bridge Historical Society, and the Alle- gany-Cattaraugus-Chautauqua Fund for Women.
The Board thanks the commu- nity for its past support and for the support that will be given in the coming months!

Highlights of the Oct. 14, 2021 Alfred Town Board Meeting
Solar, Budget and Sidewalk
By DAN ACTON Alfred Town Supervisor
The bulk of the Town Board meeting was taken up with discussion of the proposed solar project at 5568 Jericho Hill Road-County Route 12. Engineers representing the Town questioned the project developers regarding landscaping both on and off the premises that would provide a sight barrier for the project. Jim Ninos reflected concerns of the Village about possible storm drainage from the proj- ect that may damage bridges across Kanacadea Creek. The develop- ers indicated their design provides for sight barriers and storm water runoff.
Our engineers indicated that other projects in the region have had difficulty driving H-beams into the ground on which the solar panels are mounted. The project design did not include adequate geo-tech- nical studies to properly address this issue. The developers were ad- vised that this information was needed and as a result, no action was taken on their application.
Based on our community survey showing that 72% of respondents approve the sale of recreational marijuana the board took no action to prohibit retail sales in the Town. However, given that the commu- nity was almost evenly split regarding on-site consumption the board resolved to opt out, meaning that on-site consumption in retail es- tablishments will be prohibited in the Town.
The proposed 2022 Town budget was reviewed. It was within the 2% tax cap and reflected changes such as contracted bookkeeping services and high-speed internet to facilitate online access to Town meetings. The public hearing on the proposed budget will be held at the next town board meeting.
After numerous delays due to the pandemic, engineers Clark Pat- terson Lee in consultation with DOT provided us with visuals of a proposed sidewalk which goes from Dollar General to ServU Credit Union. Each property owner along this route will be contacted for their feedback on the project. Community members can view visuals by going to the Town website which is: townofalfred.com. Com- ments can be made to: [email protected].
Finally, Northland Power is holding a Thursday October 28, 7:00 p.m. virtual community meeting regarding their proposed solar proj- ect on McAndrews Road. We encourage all Town residents to attend this by registering at our website: townofalfred.com.

he only name that's on people's lips as often as Glenn Youngkin's these days is Joe Manchin's. He's the man of the hour.Almost single-handedly, he's holding up the De- mocrats' cherished welfare state spending spree, and sending his fellow Dems into fits of mutual re- crimination. (Cori Bush even called Manchin
“anti-Black, anti-child, anti-woman, and anti-im- migrant.” Ouch!)
It's delightful to watch.
Recently, good ole Joe Manchin has been in the news again. He's been the victim of yet more ha- rassment from far leftists, in this case "climate ac- tivists”. They tried to prevent him from driving to work, and they even suggested (absurdly) that bloodthirsty Joe tried to run them over with his SUV.
Note to Joe: THE LEFT HATES YOU! Why would you want anything to do with such people?
Manchin has also been laying down some harsh truths about fiscal overreach. As he points out, in the blink of an eye we've spent more allegedly bat- tling COVID than we did fighting Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in World War II. To make mat- ters worse, inflation is setting records and the Fed has few tools left with which to tame it.
And now the Dems want to up the ante on spending? Come on, man!
Joe also stood up recently to the progressive-ac- tivists-disguised-as-journalists at CNN. He pointed out, in the wake of the Democrats' recent reversals of fortune in Virginia and elsewhere, that this just isn't a left-wing country. If anything, in fact, he says it leans to the right.
Wow! And you're a Democrat why, Joe?
Manchin realizes, as almost all his Democratic colleagues don't, that Americans didn't elect Joe Biden and a Democratic House and Senate be- cause they love socialism and wokeness. They did it because they were persuaded, by a five-year campaign of calumny, that Trump=Beelzebub.
They expected Biden and the Dems to restore a sense of normalcy and calm.
How's that turning out, Joe?
All of this raises the tantalizing question of why Joe Manchin persists in being a Democrat and in caucusing with Democrats in the Senate, espe- cially given the deep red hue of his home state of West Virginia.
Only Joe can resolve that mystery, but one sus- pects that a straightforward appeal to reason, to common decency, or even to narrow self-interest wouldn't be enough to tip the scales inside Joe's head and turn him into a McConnellite Republi- can. Possibly the only thing that could accomplish that would be...more object lessons in the sheer nastiness and lunacy of the people Joe currently calls “friends”.
So hey, “climate activists”, “immigrant advo- cates”, and other assorted neo-Marxist loons – keep up the good work throwing yourselves under the wheels of Joe Manchin's Maserati. Although you assuredly don't realize it, you might be helping to build a (permanent?) Republican majority in the Senate.
And, on that note, if you need more cash for bullhorns, count me in!

Where Have All The Squirrels Gone?
(Hint: The Answer Isn’t Blowin’ In The Wind) Usually, just like magic, all the walnuts disappear,
But something foul is going on around our house this year.
As I contemplated this, I heard hoarse screams from up behind me, Which were plenty shrill to garner my attention, and remind me That it’s really no sore mystery to crack my nutty query—
Cuz shucks, it’s this: the answer’s to be found up in the aerie.
—Anon Aerie Mouse To the Editor:
"WE THE PEOPLE"
What does it mean? Is the phrase referring to those who live in the United States of America? Is it just some words that were put into the Constitu- tion for the United States of America?
The phrase "WE THE PEO- PLE" appears in the Preface of the Constitution for the United States of America.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, pro- vide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Lib- erty to ourselves and our Poster- ity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
We the People is the group of people who govern over the Elected Representatives. There is only one requirement to be a part of this group: one must be a knowledged citizen of the United States of America.
WE THE PEOPLE are the governing body. The govern- ment is nothing more than regu- lar people like you and me who communicate with other repre- sentatives and act on behalf of the people. "Politician" should not be a career name. We are farmers, doctors, engineers, businessmen and women, pilots, real estate agents, teachers, first responders, and more who de- cided to represent their corner of the world for a few years.
In the United States of Amer- ica we have the privilege, as part of We the People, to vote for the members among ourselves who will communicate on our behalf to other Elected Representatives across the United States of America and the world. When decisions must be made that will impact the citizens of this great nation, the Elected Representa- tives must act according to the wishes of We the People.
We the People must be in- formed and have solid morals.
We the People must constantly be communicating with the Elected Representatives, and vice versa. We must constantly be defending our fragile free- doms and firing those Represen- tatives who try to take them and who don't act on behalf of We the People.
It is vital that people stand up and not be afraid to fight for their freedom. I will support and stand behind anyone who says
"enough is enough." Our free- doms and free thinking are being stripped away from us very quickly. If you don't stand up, someday very soon it will be gone. All it takes is 1 out of every 3 people (33% of the pop- ulation) actively resisting some- thing, and it WILL NOT succeed.
"Never in human history has a generation gotten their freedom back after they lost it." -Un- known
"Freedom is a guaranteed thing only for those who are willing to defend and fight for it." -Unknown

mocrats?
It would allow the government to negotiate medicare drug prices with pharmaceutical industry.
This provision alone would be expected to save 500 billion dol- lars over ten years.
It would expand medicare to hearing aids, eyeglasses, and dental work. Like any good in- frastructure this would pay for it- self (Dental work more than pays for itself in good nutrition).
It would raise taxes on large corporations. This would help pay for the infrastructure, which they benefit from.
If you actually want women to get off welfare and go to work, giving them some help with child care and pre-K are necessary.
These provisions are also very popular.
The rents are too high. We have a housing problem in this country. Rents have gone up much faster than incomes. The housing stock is more and more owned by investment funds which raise rents fast. Housing aid will pay for itself in well be- haved kids and lower future vio- lence. Less stress on mom means healthier smarter kids.
It will be the first time our government has done anything serious about global warming.
Once again, 25 years ago scien- tists predicted, more storms, more flooding, more fires, worse hurricanes, worse droughts, melting ice caps, dead coral reefs, plagues of insects, and mass extinctions. Even chocolate is at risk. All of which are hap- pening faster than expected.
Global warming helped drive the refugees crisis at the southern border by exacerbating hurri- canes in Haiti and droughts and hurricanes in Central America.
So getting off fossil fuels will ob- viously pay for itself.
The 3.5 trillion cost over 10 years is about half the money we spend directly on the military which is 7.15 Trillion dollars, and will do more good than war ever could.

WELLSVILLE–The David A. Howe library welcomes Allen Hopkins with his program Songs of the Civil War to the Nancy Howe Auditorium stage at 7 p.m.
Thursday, Nov. 18.
Allen is a multi-instrumental musician from Rochester NY. Over 40 years of playing, hearing and collecting traditional folk music has given him a real feel for its history, and for the way folk songs echo events in our country's past. Immi- gration, the pioneer experience, sectional conflict, civil rights, industrial develop-
ment, the labor movement, patriotism and protest are all embodied in folk music.
He loves digging out these songs, putting them together, and presenting them to schools, clubs, festivals, libraries, and
other interested audiences. Over the past few years he has worked with the Strong Museum in Rochester, the Salt Museum in Syracuse, the Museum of Early Trades
and Crafts in New Jersey, with historical societies in Monroe, Wayne, Ontario, Chemung, Orleans and Livingston Counties, with elementary and high schools from Dansville to Attica to Fairport, and with the New York State Parks, the International Canal Confer- ence, and various town and city libraries.
This concert is free and open to every- one, and will take place in the Nancy
Howe Auditorium at the David A. Howe Public Library, 155 N. Main St., Wellsville NY, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov.
18.This concert is funded in part by the Decentralization Regrant Program of the New York State Council of the Arts. This program, with the support of the governor and the New York Start Legislature, is ad- ministered by the Tri-County Arts Coun- cil.
For more information, call the library at 585-593-3410.
ALFRED–How do musicians become known and their per- formances reach an audience be- yond the stage or studio? Enter the music producer. Our guests for the final monthly East Meets West event Tuesday, November 16 at 8 p.m, are producers Yunchuan Ye and Joshua Cheek.
They met in Hong Kong and have been close friends for al- most 20 years. In 2011, Cheek successfully supported Ye’s Rhymoi Music in winning their first international award, the In- dependent Music Award for Best Traditional World Album.
Our guests will discuss the ex- change and integration of music between the East and the West from their perspective in the music industry, along with the fusion of Eastern and Western music cultures in the recording industry. They will introduce and show some of their work, in- cluding videos from Ye’s Musi- cal Map of China project.
All are invited to join our Zoom audience with host, Daisy Wu, Director of the Confucius Institute at Alfred University (CIAU).
Yunchuan Ye is a producer, composer, arranger, graphic de- signer, and founder of one of China’s most prestigious audio- phile recording labels, Rhymoi Music. He is further distin- guished as the first Full Voting Member of the American Grammy AwardsⓇ (The Na- tional Academy for Recording Arts and Science – NARAS) representing the Chinese music industry. He also serves as a tutor at Communication Univer- sity of China. He is, without question, one of the most impor- tant personages in China’s grow- ing music industry.
As the initiator and music di- rector of the National Art Foun- dation project, Musical Map of China, Ye won the Best Musi- cian Special Award of the China Gold Record Awards. This series of works has been added to the permanent collection of the Na- tional Library. He has been en- gaged in music creation and production for many years and has been highly praised by im- portant music media outlets at home and abroad. His produc- tions are highly recognized in the high-quality music market and are sold all over the world with remarkable achievements.
As a producer, his records and musical works have won more than 180 awards and nomina- tions, such as "American Inde- pendent Music Award", "Global Music Award", "China Gold
Record Award", "China Excel- lent Publishing Award" and
"Chinese Music Media Award".
Due to years of close coopera- tion with the international music production community, his music creation concept and pro- duction methods have an inter- national perspective.
As founder of Rhymoi Music, Ye is committed to establishing new standards of excellence for recorded music in China. Rhy- moi Music recordings are imme- diately identifiable in the field of music for their innovative ap- proaches to programming, world-class musical and artistic
standards, beauty of presentation and packaging, cultural rele- vance, and their conscious desire to introduce the treasures of Chi- nese music to an international audience. With his deep commit- ment to the traditions and na- tional music of his homeland, Yunchuan Ye is committed to building new and ever more cre- ative and beautiful bridges be- tween the musical heritage of China and the musical traditions of the world.
For more than 25 years, Joshua Cheek has been engaged in every aspect of the music in- dustry, from retail sales to Public
Relations and Marketing Direc- tor for Naxos of America, in- cluding more than 70 published credits in all categories of music production, including several Award-winning and Grammy nominated recordings, including the multi-award winning album of world premieres works for choir and recorder, “The Nightingale”, Michala Petri’s critically acclaimed “Chinese Recorder Concertos”, triple- Grammy nominated "Transfig- ured Bach" and Song Zuying's historic, Grammy nominated CD, "The Diva Goes to the Movies" (宋祖英大型音乐片).
Cheek has been a member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS, The Grammys) since 2000, and has shepherded numerous artists, en- sembles and labels through the Grammy process as well as other industry and cultural awards.
Cheek is active as both a mu- sical scholar and respected booklet annotator. He has pro- vided texts for numerous record- ing labels, including Koch International, Naxos, hänssler CLASSIC, OUR Recordings and numerous texts for Rhymoi Music (瑞鸣音乐)(China), in- cluding texts for the Rhymoi’s lavish commemorative Olympic production “The Songs of the 56 Chinese Nationalities” sung by Tan Jing.
Cheek's involvement with the music of China dates back to the late 1970s when he first heard recordings of 样 板 戏. He has immersed himself in the study and appreciation of Chinese cul- ture, including art, film ethno- graphic studies and of course, China’s rich musical traditions.
In addition to his studies of con- temporary Chinese concert music, Cheek is deeply inter- ested in the many forms of tradi- tional opera, especially Kunqu ( 崑曲), Jingxi (京剧), Huangmei (黃梅戲) and (越剧) Shaoxing as well as the folk music her- itage of China’s many ethnic mi- norities as well as China’s equally diverse and fascinating contemporary music scene.

ast week I dove into the topic of oral health. With a specific consideration for pregnancy due to the increase in bacteria and gum issues caused by ovarian hormones.This week, I am sharing with you a DIY tooth- paste recipe that can elevate your dental routine.
The original recipe is from my dentist at Contem- porary Dentistry in Rochester, NY. (www.den- tistrywithaheart.com) I try to use this toothpaste a minimum of once a day and the other times I brush I use Dr. Bronners peppermint toothpaste.
Not only is this recipe free of chemicals and processed flavors, but the ingredients are loaded with nutrients that protect your mouth from in- flammation and cavities while adding minerals to heal and repair current concerns. Here is a break down:
Coconut oil has anti-microbial properties that can help balance the gut microbiome--which are directly impacting the microbiome (balance of healthy bacteria) in our mouth.
Bentonite clay is rich in minerals needed to maintain the integrity of our teeth, it hels to alka- lize the pH of our mouth, and it polishes without being too abrasive. (We will discuss tooth reminer- alization in an upcoming article.)
Baking soda is anti-microbial and helps to alka- lize the pH of our mouth.
Neem oil is anti-fungal, anti-microbial, disrupts plaque production, and is found to be effective in addressing gingivitis.
Thieves essential oil blend is anti-microbial and immune boosting.
Bentonite Clay Toothpaste
½ Tbsp Bentonite Clay 2 Tbsp. Distilled Water
1 TBSP Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 2 tsp Baking Soda
5-10 Drops of Neem oil (you can also use Pepper- mint essential oil or Thieves essential oil blend.) Organic Xylitol to taste
Mix water and clay to form a paste, then add all the other ingredients together. Mix and put into a small jar-do not let it contact metal. Coconut oil hardens at room temperature and melts to liquid at 76 degrees. You may have to play with the consis- tency to get a smooth paste.

Thriving Recipe: Bentonite Clay Toothpaste
HORNELL–The Alfred-Hor- nell Branch of the American As- sociation of University Women (AAUW) met in October for dinner and a presentation on the life story of Abigail Allen.
Our speakers for the evening were Laurie Meehan and Becky Prophet. Laurie is the Alfred University archivist and librar- ian. Becky is a professor of the- ater at Alfred University.
Abigail Allen’s life (1824- 1902) is a history of a woman who was a leader and activist for social reform. The presentation took us from her birthplace in Nile, New York, through her schooling, her marriage and her life in Alfred. She married Jonathan Allen, who became Al- fred University’s second Presi- dent. During these years, Allen
was mother, educator, artist and active as an abolitionist and suf- fragist. Her many contributions and life story made for a most interesting evening presentation.
The next meeting will be Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2021. The association meets at The Club restaurant at 6:00 pm. for dinner followed by a program. The guest speaker for the evening will be Gabrielle Gaustad, Dean of Inamori School of Engineer- ing at AU. She will talk about the opportunities for women in ceramic and glass science.
AAUW promotes equity for all women and girls. There are more than 170,000 members and supporters nationwide. The Al- fred-Hornell branch welcomes
new members from the area. If you are interested in attending please contact Joan Bowden, President AAUW at 607-587- 9145.
ALFRED STATION–The Baker’s Bridge Historical Asso- ciation will meet at 7:30 p.m.
Monday, Nov. 15 in the meeting- house, Hamilton Hill.
Program for the meeting will be presented by Jessica Hutcihi- son on the film, “My Name Is Allegany County.” The film
documents Allegany County’s “Bump the Dump” effort to prevent a low level radioactive waste dump from being established in our rural county.
The BBHA Executive Board requests that members and friends kindly plan to wear a face covering to the meeting. Because of con- tinued concern over possible Covid exposure, those in attendance will be as distant from each other as possible. Well-fitted masks should be worn at all times in the Hamilton Hill meetinghouse.
In addition, members will forego, for the remainder of meetings in 2021, its usual refreshment time at the close of the program but folks are encouraged to stay for conversation if they are comfort- able.
