ALFRED--Kate Dimitrova, assistant professor of art history at Alfred University, will present

“Woven Wonders: The World of Medieval Tapes- tries” as part of Alfred University’s ongoing Bergren Forum series.

The lecture will take place at 12:10 p.m. today (Thursday, Oct. 4) in the Nevins Theater, located in Alfred University’s Powell Campus Center. The program is open to the public free of charge.

Dimitrova will introduce attendees to the world of medieval European tapestries, beginning with the middle of the 14th century, and will explore the monetary, cultural, political, and reli- gious values of these “woven wonders.”

Medieval European tapestries were valued not only for their beauty, but also for their portability.

In addition to being hung on walls of castles and churches, they were often offered as gifts, pawned, and looted by both secular and ecclesiastical lead- ers. Modern scholars, through the examination of illuminated manuscripts, are now able to recon-

struct how tapestries were used during the Middle Ages, as Dimitrova will explore in her lecture.

Dimitrova earned a bachelor of arts degree in visual arts from the University of California-San Diego. She then continued her education and earned both a master of arts degree and Ph.D. in history of art and architecture from the University of Pittsburgh.

She has been awarded a host of fellowships, grants and honors, including the Walter Read Hovey Award from the Pittsburgh Foundation, the Arts and Sciences Fellowship from the University of Pittsburgh, and the Edward James Foundation Grant from West Dean College in England.

The Bergren Forum, sponsored by the Alfred University Division of Human Studies in the Col- lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences, meets Thurs- days during each academic semester at the University. Participants are encouraged to bring a lunch; coffee and tea will be available.

(New York News Connection) NEW YORK (New York News Connection)—Advocates on all sides of the hydraulic frac- turing debate in New York say that Governor Andrew Cuomo needs to be more specific about the Department of Environmental Conservation's decision to restart regulatory rule-making for the controversial gas drilling process.

Katherine Nadaeau, water and natural resources program director for Environmental Advocates of New York, says Cuomo has heard the public outcry over health concerns related to fracking. She says it's good news the state is restarting the rule-making process, but the problem is that

New Yorkers are still in the dark as to what happens next.

"What we don't know is whether or not the state is going to hold off on issuing permits until this new public process has been completed; and that's what we need to hear from the gover- nor: What's this process going to look like? Who's going to be in- volved?"

The Department of Environ- mental Conservation has received 80,000 public comments so far on the process, which in- volves pumping water, chemicals and sand into rock formations deep underground to fracture the rock layers and free oil and gas trapped in them.

Jim Smith, spokesman for the Independent Oil and Gas Associ- ation of New York, says his members are growing frustrated with delays and will hold the governor to his pledge that the decision will be based on science.

"Certainly four and a half years to review proposed regulations and a new Environmental Impact Statement should be enough time, in our view, so we would not support a back-to-the- drawing-board approach."

Katherine Nadeau says new evidence linking fracking to neg- ative impacts on people's health and water quality has come to light since New York began taking public comment, so she dis- agrees with the industry's claim that enough time has already been allotted for study.

"That couldn't be farther from the truth. Everywhere that fracking happened nationwide, there have been stories about people becoming ill, about children's asthma increases, about elderly people having trouble breathing."

In late September, Cuomo also agreed to conduct a new study into the potential impacts of fracking on public health. No timeline has yet been determined for that study.

Both sides seek meaning to restart of ‘fracking’ study

This past summer I had a phone call from Doug Decker, originally from Alfred and, after the Alfred-Almond Central School was formed, he then lived in Almond.

Doug reminded me of our fun playing tennis at the corner of Park and Ford Streets. The cus- tom was that the winners of a set remained on the court to play the next opponents.

Doug and I, playing doubles, played against the college students. I do not recall that we ever lost and unless we were tired or it was time to go home, we never gave up the court. Doug was in seventh and eighth grades and I in eighth grade and freshman years during the Spring, Sum-

mer and Fall of those years.

Initially the tennis courts were clay which meant that after a rain storm, you had to wait for the courts to dry before you could play. There were three courts, three different levels up the hill of Ford Street. At one time or another, one or two courts were in good condition and the third one was usually pretty bad. Most of the time the lowest court was the best.

Doug and I spent many hours watching Doc Russell and Don Schreckengost play tennis. They were the two best players in Al- fred, even in the area. So we had good teachers.

After Doug moved to Al- mond, my tennis playing partner

was Dave Thorngate. We continued the same system playing against the college students and the result was the same. We never lost during our high school careers playing doubles.

The last couple years the courts were macadam, so with a broad broom one could sweep off the water after a rain and play immediately.

These were the courts for the next 25 or 30 years with a few cracks repaired. I stood on our porch on Park Street during a rain storm watching people playing tennis on the lower court, visible from our porch. After the storm passed, I walked down to the courts to see why anyone was crazy enough to play in the rain and found that the rain line ended 50 feet short of the courts – the courts were totally dry.

The current courts near the McLane Athletic Center are a great improvement over the older courts and much easier on the feet.

Last week, as I finished my work at the library with time to spare, one of our magazines caught my eye with a cover that said APPLE DELIGHTS. (We probably have 10-12 magazines that carry recipes or are wholly devoted to food, along with the dozens of recipe books all of which you can borrow for our normal check out period.) This magazine was the September issue of Southern Living with four pages of luscious sounding recipes using apples.

This is the first one I am going to try. I think kids would enjoy dipping their apple slices in it.

Caramel Apple Dip

1 (8oz.) package cream cheese, softened 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/3 c. packed dark brown sugar 1 T. granulated sugar fresh apple slices

Stir together cream cheese, brown sugar and vanilla extract just until blended. Spoon mixture into 10 oz. ramekin; level and smooth surface with a spatula. Cover and chill 2-8 hours. Preheat broiler with oven rack 5 inches from heat. Sprinkle granulated sugar over mixture in ramekin. Fill an 8-inch cake pan with ice; place ramekin in pan. Broil 3 to 5 minutes or until sugar is melted and caramelized.

Let stand 5 minutes. Serve with apple slices for dipping.

BELMONT—The Allegany County Democratic Committee met Sept. 25 in Belmont, elect- ing their Chairman and officers and voting to endorse three Democratic candidates for No- vember's election.

Michael J. McCormick of An- dover, former Allegany County legislator, was unanimously elected to serve as Chairman of the Democratic Committee.

Members applauded previous Chairwoman Barbara Hetzel as she handed over the gavel. Tim Aiken was elected Vice-Chair, Karen Tufty-Wisnieski was elected new Treasurer and Bar- bara Broughton will continue to serve as Secretary. Parliamentar- ian is Patricia Sweeney. Repre- sentatives from most of the towns in Allegany County were elected or appointed.

Special guests included Erik Coler, Nate Shinagawa's Cam- paign Manager; Chuck Criss of Belmont (running for Amity Town Supervisor) and Dan Brown of Great Valley (running for the New York State new 148th District seat against Joe Giglio).

Coler said that the new 23rd Congressional District covers an area the size of the State of New Jersey, making campaigning taxing. Nate Shinagawa has vis- ited many of the towns in the new 23rd District, joining in the

Andover 4th of July and Rush- ford Labor Day Parades, among others. He plans to walk in the 20th Annual Ridge Walk in Wellsville Oct. 21. Shinagawa is a hospital administrator, serves as a Tompkins County Legislator (6 years, currently Vice-Chair), and is on the Tomp- kins County Community Devel- opment Corp., bringing in over

$56 million for quality jobs.

Dan Brown has been Great Valley Town Supervisor for over 6 years, maintaining a 1.4% (or less) increase in the budget. He began a first-ever zoning program, wrote and passed a Com- prehensive Plan, and a successful re-valuation in the Town of Great Valley, which is partly in Ellicottville and the Seneca Nation of Indians. The New York State 148th Assembly District encompasses all of Alle- gany and Cattaraugus Counties and four towns in southern Steuben County. Brown oper- ates an organic dairy farm with his wife and children.

Chuck Criss became interested in politics when the Town of Amity did a re-evaluation plan. He felt that "silence is con- sent" and unwilling to be silent he plunged into politics and is now running for Town of Amity Supervisor. He and his wife own the family business, Criss Gro- cery, and intend to continue working to improve their community.

The Allegany County Demo- cratic Committee voted to support and assist Nate Shinagawa, Dan Brown and Chuck Criss.

Since the current approval rate for the U.S. Congress is at an all- time low, Democrats are in a good position to make change happen in November. Commit- tee members are working by manning phone banks week- ends, getting the word out about Democratic candidates.

The next meeting of the Alle- gany County Democratic Com- mittee is scheduled for 7 p.m.

MEMORIES – PAST AND FUTURE

The September 24th session of the County Legislature was unique. Chairman Curt Crandall had arranged to have two former Legislators, Leonard Watson and Robert McNinch, join us to share their memories of earlier Boards and events. They shared interesting stories from their time on the Board. We learned that legislators were known to sleep during sessions, occasionally threw things across the room, and that cigarette and cigar smoke was omnipresent. They told about an escaping prisoner (from the old jail) who jumped off the bluff and crashed to the river below, where he was apprehended. By contrast, our proceedings seem almost dull.

The session began with the Pledge of Allegiance that was led by Veterans Service Officer Mike Hennessy. Privilege of the Floor was granted to Karen Titus of ACCORD who spoke about that agency’s Domestic Violence programs. This is a serious problem that affects a significant percentage of our population. Later in the meeting Chairman Crandall issued a proclamation designating October 2012 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Allegany County.

Legislators Mike Healy and Timothy O’Grady introduced two local laws. These local laws propose increased charges for participants in the STOP-DWI Program and increased recording fees in the County Clerk’s Office. Later in the session Resolutions 132-12 and 133-12 set dates for public hearings on those local laws. Both public hearings will be held on October 9, 2012, at 2:00 pm.

Resolution 134-12 authorized the submission of a grant appli- cation seeking $1,000,000 from the “Connect NY Broadband Pro- gram.” If we receive that grant the County would have to put up

$200,000 of matching funds. The goal of this grant program is to provide broadband services to “un-served” and “under-served” areas of the County. The County would technically “own” the facilities that would be constructed and installed, but would not become an Internet Service Provider (“ISP”). The County has already commis- sioned a study that will tell what types of facilities should be installed at what locations. We clarified that those facilities would be located throughout the County, and not just in one area. If all goes as expected the County should recover its matching funds over the coming years through access fees paid by ISPs. Those fees should also pay for repairs and replacement equipment, as needed. There are no guar- antees that we will get the Grant funds, or that our project will be successful. However, I supported making this investment to bring critical technological service to our rural County. The Board approved the resolution by a vote of 12 to 3.

Resolution 135-12 approved the abolition of two positions of Social Welfare Examiner. Resolutions 136-12, 137-12, 138-12, and 139-12 approved the transfer of funds in the Cancer Screening Ac- count, Office For Aging Reserve Account, Law Enforcement Ac- counts, and Mental Health Accounts, respectively. Resolution 141-12 approved a five-year lease agreement for lands where road materials are stockpiled.

Resolution 140-12 approved agreements with 14 school districts for transportation of Pre-School Children with Handicapping Con- ditions. Each year many Legislators object to paying for pre-school programs, including the cost of transportation. Unfortunately, NYS has imposed that cost upon counties, rather than school districts. I believe the State’s motivation was purely financial. State-aid rates for most schools are significantly higher than the aid rate for counties. The State has saved millions of dollars by making counties pay for these programs. To make the best out of a bad situation Allegany County has contracted with school districts to provide those transportation services. Public Health Director Lori Ballangee recently provided Legislators with a spreadsheet showing we have the lowest costs of any similarly sized county. Most counties spend several times more than we do. For example, Cattaraugus County spends nearly seven (7) times more than we do.

Your Legislature works tirelessly to reduce expenses. We have achieved success in many areas. However, more remains to be done because taxes are still too high.

Competing Concertos

It’s the Middle of the 1st, and the Score IsOr, Tchaikovsky 1, Bartok Coming to Baton So here we go – another concert season,

When that rat Anon A. Mouse abandons reason.

This occasion had concertos on the menu, Which were written independently by men who Were prodigies as children (I’m supposing),

And who (strangely) made their living by composing, The one of them devoutly Unitarian,

And the other clearly not a Rastafarian.

The concerto that was up first is a dilly which Was written by that upstart, Peter Illyich For a pianist without a feeble wrist, And an orchestra – including oboist.

Dissonance (I used to think) was when Two oboes tried to play in unison;

No: “Dissonance” is just ONE oboe and A freshly-tuned, black, 9’ concert grand.

But putting intonation out of mind, And turning to the program notes, I find Tchaikovsky, when he played it for his mentor, Discovered he was more of a tormenter:

Said the younger of the brothers Rubenstein,

“I don’t like it, cuz it doesn’t sound like MINE!”

I don’t care if picky Nicolai di’n’t like it;

The piano gave me chills each time she’d strike it.

And to prove I must be saying that in earnest, The balc’ny where I sat was like a furnace.

(Cuz this concert that I speak of, please remember, Was in southern California this September.)

I sweat so much they might’ve thought of banning me, But the woman right in front of me was fanning me, Sufficiently (it seems) evaporating me

To keep the other patronage from hating me.

At long last came the longed-for intermission – Which was longer than the usual dismission, For cause I didn’t understand or care, As long as I’d more chance get me air.

When finally in, and drinked, and cooled-offed, And ushered to my former perch aloft,

I didn’t see the woman with my fan…

But the next concerto nonetheless began.

It was Bartok; now, you might not like his mode, But for soothing notes, a debt of thanks is owed, Cuz maybe now before the evening’s through, A sleepy mouse can catch a wink or two.

But he’ll wake us up in movement number four, When he’s mocking Shostakovich in his score, Where the clarinet will play a marching tune, And forthwith will be jeered by the tromboon.

Look – the oboe’s more in tune now – what the hey?

Cuz in Bartok, dissonance is a-okay.

But there’s also two bassoons of whom it’s clear They’re pretending that they’re really welcome here;

They know there’s safety, usually, in numbers…

Which also serves to wake me from my slumbers.

Letter to the Editor of the Alfred Sun:I propose that NYS exercise eminent domain over all NYS natural gas deposits, compensate all land owners, above the shale deposits, with a "fair market"

price based on acreage, for their natural gas and reimburse the natural gas mining industry for any money already paid to NYS land owners for leasing their mineral rights; leaving the un- conventionally extracted natural gas in the Marcellus and Utica shale deposits, below ground in NYS.This way, all appropriate land owners, above the shale deposits, will make a profit; the natural gas mining industry will almost break even; the watersheds will remain safe, and the taxpayers, as usual, will bear the burden of paying for retaining a safe, tran- quil environment, an unpolluted environment, and better health for all NYS citizens. It certainly would be worth the expense.

It’s much cheaper than lives being cut short from toxic chemicals, damage to our water supply and our already weakened road/bridge infrastructure, and leaving our already prosperous industries such as wine making and tourism, still prosperous.

It seems to be the only "win- win-win" scenario that could possibly work for everyone.

To the Editor:

Last Thursday's Sun reports that Mt. Rainier at 14,441 is the highest peak in North America.

Not quite.

Denali (once called Mt.

McKinley and named after a president who annexed the Philippines in order to Christian- ize the natives, only to discover that those "natives" had been converted to Christianity 400 years earlier) at 20,430 is the continent's highest, and Mt.

Whitney in California at 14,505 is tops in the lower 48.

Mt. Rainier is a pretty darn good mountain (well, volcano) but only worthy of a bronze medal.

Gary Ostrower [Editor’s Note: Mt. Rainier, depending on one’s source, may not even garner the bronze. Colorado has Elbert, Massive and Harvard, at 14,443 ft., 14,421 ft. and 14,420 ft., respectively, with some sources listing Rainier at 14,410 ft. But, suffice it to say that until someone is found reading the Alfred Sun on these mountaintops, the Varshneyas have taken the Sun to new heights.]

shops have the same access to safety alerts and repair information as the franchised new car dealer network.

Most new vehicles are equipped with tire pressure mon- itoring systems (TPMS) to pro- tect motorists from the dangers of operating a vehicle with un- derinflated tires. Because these systems are controlled by com- puters, every repair facility must have ready access to complete, accurate information from the car companies or it will be very difficult to keep all TPMS systems activated and in safe working condition. Passage in Massachusetts is a good start, but there is a critical need to swiftly pass the Right to Repair Act on a national level.

Right to Repair Act (HR 1449) levels the competitive playing field for motoring consumers and between new car dealerships and independent repair shops by re- quiring that car companies provide full, fair access at a reasonable cost to all non-propri- etary service information, tools, fault codes and safety-related bulletins needed to repair motor vehicles.

We support each car owner’s right to patronize the auto service facility of their choice and ask all motorists to visit www.righttore- pair.org to send a letter to each of their congressional representa- tives, urging them to co-sponsor the Right to Repair Act.

Dear Editor:

The Alfred-Alfred Station Community Chest has kicked off its 2012 drive the week of October 1. We have held our budget meeting and have set our goal for this year at $ 37,210 (almost three thousand dollars more than last year). This year the need for charitable donations around the world continues to be great.

However many of the organizations we support here in Alfred and in Allegany County have experienced funding cuts from other sources. We want to be able to provide at least as much support for them this year as we have in the past. But only with your generosity will this be possible.

We hope that those who have been so generous in the past will continue to help the agencies that provide support for our young people, for our older citizens, and to the less fortunate of our community. We also encourage new members of the community, and those who have not donated recently, to step up and replace the gifts of those who have left the area recently.

When reached, our goal will be divided among the following organizations as indicated:

Alfred Ambulance Operation ...$ 9710

Support for "Lifeline” ...$ 4000

Alfred Station Fire Company ...$ 3500

Alfred Box of Books Library ...$ 3000

Allegany Co. Assoc. for Blind and Visually Handicapped ...$ 1000

Baker’s Bridge Historical Association ...$ 300

Allegany ARC ...$ 550

Allegany Co. Mental Health Assoc. ...$ 1800

American Red Cross, Southwestern NY Chapter ....$ 5500

Allegany Co. SPCA ...$ 1000

Allegany Rehabilitation Associates, Inc. ...$ 700

Boy Scouts -- Cub Pack 26 ...$ 750

Scout Troop 19 ...$ 700

Venture Crew 19 ...$ 200

Five Rivers Scout Council ...$ 2000

Literacy West New York, Inc. ...$ 1000

Senior Nutrition Site ...$ 200

Comfort House of Allegany County ...$ 1000

Campaign Expenses ...$ 300 Area residents and those employed in our community will soon, if they have not already, receive pledge forms and an ap- peal letter. Donations may be left at the Alfred Pharmacy in Al- fred, the Canacadea Country Store in Alfred Station, or may be mailed to Alfred-Alfred Station Community Chest, Box 603, Al- fred, NY, 14802-0603. With the generous support of the entire community, our member organizations will be able to continue to serve us in the splendid way we have come to expect.

Drive set at $37,210

was, at the time, 120 years old, I dressed as the original owner who had been celibate for 20 years and was looking for some fun. I powdered my hair, put on an old velvet hat, an old gray housedress with a pillow belted around my waist, rolled down stockings and orthopedic shoes.

The best part was how I used my make-up to age my face. My

friends couldn't look at me and some said it wasn't me, I was so ugly. I wore men’s plaid boxers that I loved showing off while chasing my male friends around the house. I had so much fun.

At my next job when someone discovered my other persona, a picture was put on the bulletin board and workers had to iden- tify me. No one did. It is great fun to dress up as someone else and be outrageous. It brings out the playful child in you.

I used the Dirty Old Lady costume again at a new job when I was asked to dress up and sing a parody to Camelot off key in front of 200 co-workers. No problem! it was great fun. No one knew me until I began to sing; at the time I was the switchboard operator and everyone knew my voice.

I had so much fun with my Dirty Old Lady maybe I should resurrect her.

I also put the question of favorite costumes up on Facebook.

My old high school buddy said her favorite was also as an adult.

She dressed as a witch and sat motionless in the front yard waiting for an unsuspecting youngster to approach then she would move and scare the day- lights out of them. The kids loved it.

Whether homemade or store bought, our Halloween costumes were a thing of joy. Just the an- ticipation of Trick or Treating dressed up in character kept us on overload all day. To go out at night dressed as goblins and ghostys and Roy Rogers, or a Storm Trooper was the best.

Then we went house to house begging for candy, followed by the sugar high.

I always liked roasting pumpkin seeds after the pumpkin was carved. This is a fun time of year, the leaves turning color, the crisp air, gaining an hour, cider, ooh! What is your favorite Hal- loween memory? All Hallows Eve, a passage into winter a time for goblins and ghouls to roam the streets crying "Trick or Treat."

Oh what fun!

What’s your favorite Halloween costume?

“The purpose of the Alfred State Community Garden is to provide students and community members with hands-on experi- ences in sustainable agriculture techniques,” said Alfred State’s Chief Sustainability Officer Ju- lian Dautremont-Smith. “The

aim is to produce food locally and to reduce campus waste pro- duction by providing a site to compost food waste.”

Original plans for Alfred State’s Community Garden were designed by technical writing and surveying engineering technology students as part of a project-based learning assignment.

These students plotted and mapped the area needed for the garden using state-of-the art GPS systems then translated their plotting to a topology map and a garden plot sequence map.

The project exemplifies Alfred State’s unique learning model which is based on sustainability, civic engagement, and project- based learning.

The Community Garden oper- ates on donations from seed companies and generous donors

and is the work of dedicated Al- fred State faculty, staff, students including: Sandra Dennison, marketing director, Auxiliary Campus Enterprises and Serv- ices; Calista A. McBride, asso- ciate professor in English and Humanities; Barbara Pierce, keyboard specialist, Office of Student Activities; Constance E.

Pennisi, assistant professor computer imaging and architectural engineering technology; Dr.

Terry Tucker, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences and the ex- ecutive director of the Center for Organic and Sustainable Agri- culture; and community volun- teer Buffy Turner.
