By BRAD BOWDEN of the Alfred Lions Club ALFRED-In a candle-light ceremony at their January dinner meeting, the Alfred Lions Club inducted Tammy Kokot of Al- mond and John del Campo of Alfred as new members.
Participating in the ceremony were Brad Bowden, Immediate Past President, Jon LeGro, Membership Committee Chair and John del Campo’s sponsor, and Susan Lejeune, member of the Outreach Committee, who stood in for Tammy Kokot’s sponsor Kathy Benzaquin who was unable to attend. Seven new members have been inducted
ALFRED–New York State University Police at Alfred State Thursday, Jan. 8 provided training to 24 area police officers on the use of Naloxone, a medication that tem- porarily reverses the effects of opioids and can save lives in the event of an overdose or medical emergency.
In addition to educating area officers on the use of Naloxone, the training provided an overview of the New York State Good Samaritan Law. This legislation is in- tended to encourage individuals to seek medical atten- tion for someone who is experiencing a drug or alcohol overdose or other life-threatening injury, who otherwise may have refused to do so for fear of criminal prosecu-
tion.
The training also detailed signs and symptoms of opi- oid overdose, provided officers with sample policies for their agencies dealing with the use and storage of Nalox- one, and included a discussion with officers who have used Naloxone to reverse an opioid overdose.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Pre- vention, someone dies every 19 minutes from a drug overdose. Naloxone works by temporarily reversing the effects of the opioid - whether illicit or prescription - al- lowing the individual to regain consciousness and re- sume normal breathing, reversing the overdose, and
potentially saving the lives of those involved. Naloxone is not the kind of medication that can be abused.
Officer Jeff Wilcox of the New York State University Police provided the training to members of the following agencies: Cuba Police Department, Friendship Police Department, Willing Police Department, Angelica Police Department, Independence Police Department, Canisteo Police Department, Allegany County Sheriff’s Office, and the Allegany County Probation Office.
Officers from the Alfred Police Department and the New York State University Police at Alfred State had previously completed the training.

Alfred Lions induct two; ASC to restore ski center?
into the Club since September, strongly supporting the Interna- tional President’s theme of
‘Grow Your Pack.’
Following the induction cere- mony, Alfred State College Pres- ident Irby “Skip” Sullivan discussed several activities that have kept him busy during his first year at Alfred State College.
He spent considerable time visiting alumni and expressed pleasure on the professional ac- complishments that they have achieved. He also emphasized that a major vision and goal was to see the college become an outstanding college of technol- ogy and wants to continue devel-
opment of a greater diversity of baccalaureate, associate and cer- tificate programs. He did com- ment on the increase in degrees and scholarly activity amongst the faculty.
President Sullivan noted that there is and will continue to be a strong initiative to recruit stu- dents from the five boroughs of New York City. He said that the college is aware of the signifi- cant transition and adjustment the students will need to make to survive and thrive in such a dif- ferent environment.
The college is responding to this during the recruitment process and on campus through new and updated facilities to keep students engaged in activi-
ties. The college plans to restore the ski center on Route 244 and plans to add athletic teams such as polo and hockey. The college also plans on increasing oppor- tunities in musical groups.
Sullivan praised the level of student community involvement at the local, national and interna- tional levels and noted that there are about 50 international stu- dents on campus.
Not surprisingly, he com- mented on budgetary challenges, noting that in the past five years state funding has declined from 65% to just 38% of the college’s budget. One example, he gave was that the State negotiates raises with the Unions without input from the College. In other
words, ‘the Union and State ne- gotiate - the College pays!
In a subsequent question and answer session, President Sulli- van stated that the President’s house on Reynolds Street was more than adequate and that no more money will be invested in the partially completed building up the hill off of Route 244. He added that in the distant future it might become a residence hall for off-campus students. He also commented that the farm facili- ties were being updated and that the school may develop the large tract of land in Groveland that the State of New York had pre- viously transferred to the Col- lege.

TONY HEPBURN
Taught ceramic art at Alfred University
CHICAGO, IL—Tony Hepburn, influential artist, educator, writer, and mentor, who served as professor of ceramics at Alfred University from 1976-92, died at his home in Chicago Monday, Jan. 5, 2015. He was 72.
Born Sept. 9, 1942 in Manchester, Eng- land, Tony Hepburn attended Camberwell Col- lege of Art receiving his N.D.D. in 1963 and later attended London University earning his A.T.D. in 1965. He recalls his early study with Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, Frank Auerbach and Ron Kitaj as pivotal to his studio practice in- volving a consistent embrace of ceramics and drawing.
With his highly defined traditional skills and adventuresome inclinations, Tony Hep- burn was to become an important figure in ce- ramics from the onset. His influential “Letter from London” column that appeared in Craft Horizons from 1967 to 1970 introduced him to his American contemporaries and he began to travel to the United States beginning in 1968 as part of an exchange program sponsored by the British Craft Council.
Tony Hepburn became Principal Lecturer in Fine Art at Lanches- ter Polytechnic in Coventry (now called Coventry University) in 1971 and remained there through 1975.
The following year (1976) he became Head of the Division of Art and Design at the noted New York State College of Ceramics at Al- fred University where he continued as Professor of Ceramics until 1992.
At Alfred, Hepburn’s work shifted to embrace the vessel, the epit- ome of ceramics at the university, and to celebrate the people who sought and made life in rural America.
Tony served as artist-in-residence and head of the Ceramics De- partment at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, MI from 1992-2008.
Tony's contributions to the field of ceramics were far-reaching, earning him not only the respect of his peers and students, but also awards from The American Craft Council (2008), The Virginia Groot Foundation (1991), the NYS Council on the Arts (1986/1990), and the National Endowment for the Arts (1985). His work is in- cluded in numerous public collections around the world, from the Icheon World Ceramic Center in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Tony is survived by his daughter Laura Hepburn-Para, son-in-law Kevin Para, granddaughter Elsa Milani and grandson Keegan Rawl- ins and daughter Abigail Kraft, son-in-law Steven Kraft and grand- sons Oliver and Augustus Kraft.
Funeral services were held at The Episcopal Church, Hammond- sport, at 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 12. For further information, contact LeMarche Funeral Home, 35 Main St., Hammondsport, NY at 607.

We celebrated family Christmas on a breezy, early January day in Ithaca, NY. A favorite break stop is the McDonald's in Horseheads. Emerging from the car, we noticed a celebration going on diagonally across the street, where a used-car-lot-owner had attached colorful balloons to each of the vehicles
displayed. I am sorry Sun readers can't see these wild orbs in color. I took several photos, because the breeze caused the balloons to duck down be- tween the vehicles, then pop back up, in what looked like a crazy, celebratory New Year's dance.
I tried to catch as many as possible "popped up."

The Allegany County Area Foundation recently awarded a $500 grant to the Cuba Friends of Ar- chitecture. This money will be used to help purchase a spotlight for the Palmer Opera House lo- cated at 12 West Main Street in Cuba, New York. Since late in 2005 the Cuba Friends of Architecture have been working very hard to restore this historic building. They have already hosted several events in the opera house including the Genessee Valley Chorus, movies, and a prom.

COUNTING TO EIGHT, AND OTHER POLITICAL LESSONS A number of years ago the then current Chair of the County Legislature told a newly elected leg- islator that one of the most basic lessons that every legislator had to learn was to count to eight. A ma- jority of the full strength of the Legislature must agree upon every resolution. If you can’t muster the votes of 8 legislators you cannot achieve any- thing. That simple rule goes a long way towards explaining what happened at the recent Legislative Organizational Meeting.
This year’s Organizational Meeting was more adversarial than any I have ever attended. A Re- publican caucus was held on November 28th, with two legislators absent, and an independent legis- lator ineligible to vote. Seven legislators supported Legislator Dwight “Michael” Healy as their can- didate for Legislature Chairman. Five Republican legislators supported Legislator Curtis Crandall.
The two absent Republican legislators supported Crandall. Each group had 7 votes. Independent legislator Kevin LaForge also supported Crandall, giving him the necessary 8 votes to be elected.
From the caucus until the Organizational Meeting no legislator changed his/her vote. The 7 losers cried foul because the other 8 legislators didn’t ac- cept the result of the caucus. The legal reality is that it takes 8 votes. The critical vote was the one in the Legislature, not the one in the caucus.
“Counting to 8” may be Lesson #1 for county legislators, but it isn’t the only practical or political lesson that should be learned. Lesson #2 is that you must know the laws that govern whatever you are trying to accomplish. Lesson #3 is that you must be sure of your facts. Those legislators supporting Mike Healy hadn’t learned these lessons. In an ef- fort to prevent Curt Crandall’s supporters from achieving the necessary 8 votes, Legislator Scott Burt launched an attack upon Legislator Kevin LaForge. His explicit objective was to prevent LaForge from voting for Crandall. After making various accusations he offered a resolution dis- qualifying LaForge from voting for the Chairman.
However, State law states that only one Court, the
Fourth Department Appellate Division, has author- ity to remove or interfere with an elected official’s performance of his/her office. The County Legis- lature does not have authority to limit any legisla- tor’s right to vote on any matter coming before it.
I raised a “Point of Order” challenging the pro- posed resolution. County Attorney Thomas Miner confirmed my objection, and the resolution was re- jected. Legislator Burt failed to do his homework before launching his assault on Legislator LaForge. He didn’t know the law.
It also appears that there was confusion about some of the facts. It was reported that the caucus vote had been 8 to 4. It wasn’t. The vote was 7 to 5, with 2 absent. It was reported that Curt Crandall had threatened to punish legislators who weren’t supporting him. He didn’t threaten them, and he didn’t punish them. He did ask for their support.
After the voting was finished Curt Crandall an- nounced Committee assignments. Some of his supporters were appointed as Committee Chairs, but several other supporters were not. Several leg- islators who voted against him were appointed (or re-appointed) as Chairs. Every legislative District is represented on every Committee, except District 1, Crandall’s own District. Every District is repre- sented on the Ways & Means Committee. This bal- ance is an extraordinary accomplishment, and shows that Crandall was not being vindictive.
The allegation that Legislator Kevin LaForge acted unethically or violated any rule or policy is utterly false. The Legislature has never established any policy regarding penalties or late charges for County Landfill “tipping fees.” LaForge’s business was treated exactly like every other business. The Legislature should address that as a policy issue.
It is not a legal or ethical issue.
There are many other aspects of the Organi- zational Meeting that I want to address. Unfortu- nately, I am out of space. Future articles will cover those issues. In the meantime, there is a full agenda of important issues that require the Legislature’s attention. It is time to move on and work together for the good of the County.

Letter to the Editor:
After reading the little blurb on page 3 of the January 1-8, 2015, edition entitled "Congressman Tom Reed co-sponsors amend- ment to protect Social Security"
a long string of words jumped into my head, most of which I've chosen to omit in this letter as they would not be fit to publish, but chief among them was the word "Deceit".
Deceit is what is coming out of Tom Reed's mouth and the lead- ership of the 114th House as a whole, on this issue and many more but I'll stick to Social Secu- rity here. The argument is that in order to protect the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) part of Social Security from going bankrupt it must not be permitted for funds to be transfered from it to the Disability Insurance (DI) part of Social Security, which is set to need replenishment by

2016. What Reed, and the Right- Wing base of the 114th House of Representatives, is leaving out of their assertions is time-scale and history.
It is true that DI is set to run out of funds in 2016 and the only way to keep it solvent is to take funds from OASI, which will re- duce the amount of time it is sol- vent. OASI as it is right now is solvent until 2034. Removing the funds from OASI will keep DI solvent to 2033 and will reduce the time OASI will be solvent for, wait for it, one year. Transferring funds from OASI to DI will keep both solvent to 2033 instead of having DI run out in 2016 and OASI in 2034. Reed and the GOP is making a mountain out of an ant hill and trying to deceive everyone by doing so.
Historically, the reallocation of funds from one account to an- other has been a routine proce- dure to balance one of the funds when it needed it and has been done 11 times in the past with no great catastrophe, including once under Reagan. This is nothing more than a sleight of hand to kneecap an essential component of Social Security so that they can justify doing away with Social Security as we know it and priva- tize it.
Here's the bottom line, the re- allocation would have no nega- tive effect on the OASI part of Social Security. They are deceiv- ing everyone by claiming their move is to protect the elderly and retired who have earned their OASI part of Social Security while leaving out the fact that many of those same people also rely on the DI part as well. Social Security DI for all citizens 40 and under only made up 11% of the total allocation of DI in 2013, 50 and under only 30%. 70% of the DI money goes to people aged 51 and older, those who are ap- proaching retirement age and who may have may qualify for early retirement. Check my math if you'd like; numbers are here:

The article cites that "(n)eutral experts like the American Bar As- sociation and the National Acad- emy of Social Insurance, as well as retiree advocates like AARP and the National Association to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, agree that reallocating payroll taxes is necessary and reasonable."
Social Security is one of, if not the most successful public pro- grams the US government has ever created with huge approval from US citizens across the entire political spectrum, and the GOP and their Wall Street lobbyists hate it with a passion. With their majorities in both the House and Senate we can expect to see at- tacks such as this on social pro- grams we rely upon, such as Social Security and Medicare, for at least the next two years.

To The Editor,
I have the honor to know Jude Frechette and reading her essays in the Alfred Sunthis past month has given me so much insight into her childhood and what it was like to live in Alfred, NY in the 1950s. Not only does it make me love and respect her all the more, but it makes me greatly ap- preciate this town that I have lived in for the last 25 years.
Thank you Jude, for not only being a wonderful writer, but an insightful, sensitive, compas- sionate woman. I hope you will always be my friend. Alfred, New York is so fortunate to have you to tell some of its story.
Sincerely, Kate Kiernan Alfred Station
To the Editor:
As the incoming Village Dem- ocratic Committee Chair, I want to encourage Village Democ- rats—all 219 of us—to attend the Democratic Caucus on Monday, January 26, at 7:00 p.m. at Vil- lage Hall. We will nominate a candidate for mayor and two candidates for trustee positions, all for two-year terms. In addi- tion, I want to ask all Village vot- ers, all 515 of us, to mark your calendars for the Wednesday, March 18 election of Village of- ficers.
All politics may be local, but here in the Village we seem to experience an absence of parti- san agendas, a minimum of con- tentious debates, small need for active campaigning, and what I presume is a certain satisfaction with incumbents. These condi- tions tend to generate compla- cency on our part that manifests itself on election days.
Last year’s general election brought out 50% of the elec- torate, but in 2013, the last time we voted for mayor, only 162
votes were cast for the office, or approximately 31% of eligible voters. Why is this a concern?
In my mind the answer lies in de- mographics. Our total village resident, non-college-student population is about 1,000, which includes children and others not eligible to vote. Our college stu- dents plus faculty and staff at Al- fred State College and Alfred University bring the Village pop- ulation up to about 7,000 on a busy weekday.
Our Village employees—in- cluding police and streets and water crews—and contractors—
including waste collectors—pro- vide services to all these visitors and nonvoting residents, not just to permanent residents. So the mayor and trustees may be elected by only 2% of those whose lives they influence daily.
We need to show them that we are paying attention!
If you aren’t already registered to vote in the Village, visit the Allegany County Government Board of Elections website at www.alleganyco.com for a voter registration form, or call them at 585-268-9294 or -9295. Mail or deliver the form at least 25 days before the election you want to vote in. The county will notify you when you are registered to vote.
Democrats, mark your calen- dar for our caucus on the 26th.
Republicans, your caucus is Jan- uary 20th. The election is March 18, and I hope to see you at the polls.
Sincerely, Drew McInnes Chair, Democratic Committee

Scottish Tradition Continues with bagpipes, poetry, jokes, songs and traditional food and beverages at Andover Presbyterian Church, Saturday, January 24.
ANDOVER—Bagpipes, tra- ditional Scottish food, song, jokes and poetry will be the theme of the evening on January 24, 2015. For the sixth consecu- tive year a Robert Burns Dinner will be held at the Andover Pres- byterian Church, gathering at 6 PM. Reservations may be made at Walker Metalsmiths in An- dover, that is organizing the event.
Scotland’s most beloved poet, Robert Burns (1759-1796), has been remembered and cele- brated by Scots and their descen- dants worldwide to the extent that his birthday, January 25, is observed as a holiday for over 200 years.
Although he was a celebrity in
literary circles and high society of Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital, in late 18th century, his poetry was often in the vernacular Scots dialect and was the product of the rural, rustic farm folk of Burns’ life as an Ayrshire plow- man.No Burns dinner would be complete without the haggis.
This sausage-like dish of oat- meal and “meat by-products” is ceremoniously born to the head table in procession, lead by a kilted bagpiper.
“Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o' the pud- din-race!” begins Burns’ poem,
“Address to a Haggis” that is dramatically recited, praising the honest goodness and whole- someness of this food of the common peasant.
While some people consider haggis “yucky” it is actually a much loved delicacy in Scot- land. Made with organ meats and traditionally stuffed into a
“Piping in the haggis” Mark and Kate Cushing of Ithaca, formerly of Andover, lead the procession of the haggis into the 2013 Andover Burns Dinner. The traditional Scottish haggis is carried by the chef, Chelsea Wallace and Les McKay bears the beverage for the opening toast. This ceremony will be repeated for the 6th annual Robert Burns Dinner at the Andover Presbyterian Church on January 24, 2015.
Dr. John Hunter, president emeritus of Alfred State College, gives “The Immortal Memory”, one of the central features of the evening. An invited guest is asked to give a short speech on Burns. There are many different types of Immortal Memory speeches, from light-hearted to literary, but the aim is the same - to outline the greatness and relevance of the poet today. Dr.
Hunter is a Burns scholar whose enthusiasm was instrumental in establishing the Andover Burns Dinner.

Stephen Walker tells how his grandfather once acquired a hag- gis in Canada for a Burns dinner in Syracuse, only to have it con- fiscated at customs. The inspec- tor said, “it was not fit for human consumption.”
The haggis to be served at the Andover event is guaranteed to meet both the standards of
wholesomeness established by the USDA and the traditional flavor and texture so loved in Scotland.
Haggis is just the appetizer of a meal of cock-a-leekie soup, beef, vegetables, shortbread and dessert that will be prepared by Chelsea Wallace.
Among the traditional features of a Burns dinner is “The Im- mortal Memory” which is a trib- ute to Robert Burns touching on his life and times, loves and po-
HOUGHTON—Houghton College freshman Andrew Hutton ‘18 was recently awarded high honors for bagpiping, placing first at the Balmoral Classic annual amateur competition in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and second at the George Sherriff Memorial Invitational Competition at the St. Paul's Presbyterian Church in Hamilton, Ontario.
The Balmoral Classic, held on Nov. 21 and 22, is the only solo bagpiping and Scottish snare drumming competition in the US exclusively for those ages 21 and under. The event is held annu- ally in Pittsburgh, and entrants are required to apply and meet strict standards based on success in amateur upper-grade competition.
A field of 15 pipers qualified to compete at this event. Hutton and his competitors were required to present two styles: pìobaireachd, the classical music of Highland bagpiping, and March, Strath- spey and Reel, the traditional bagpipe competition medley. The competitors were awarded points for tempo, tone, rhythm, execution and expression. As winner of this event, Hutton received a set of Mc- Callum bagpipes.
Hutton also competed at the 18th annual George Sherriff Memorial Invitational Competition on Nov. 15, taking second place overall in the Grade 1 piping division. This event is regarded as one of the top amateur invitationals in the world for pipers. Hutton also placed first in the senior ama- teur pìobaireachd division at the same competi- tion.
“These competitions took a lot of preparation,”
commented Hutton. “It is such an honor to place in these competitions as I have worked hard to compete at this level.”
Hutton is currently in his first year at Houghton College and is majoring in biochemistry.

What’s Happening at Almond Library
By SANDRA ROBINSON
Almond Twentieth Century Club Library Director
The snow and cold have definitely moved in, like out-of-town rel- atives--nice to see for a brief visit, but uncomfortable to tolerate for very long. Foot traffic here at the library has diminished somewhat, as most of us keep close to the warmth and security of home. But if you’re looking for a quiet, cozy space to “chill,” we want you to know you’re welcome here—it’s nice and toasty inside the library despite our attendant snowmen, hanging snowflakes, and icy deco- rations throughout!
In February things here will begin perking once again, as we begin a new Preschool Storytime program, “Mother Goose on the Loose.”
This will be a fun and active time for parents and their children ages 0-5, with music, rhymes, movement, and more. The scheduled weekday and time will also be changing, so check back for further updates as February draws near.
As you are planning for events in the coming year, please remem- ber that the Almond Library has a couple of great spaces that may be used for meetings, parties, and other events. One is a spacious
“Community Room,” bright with encircling windows, a hardy tile floor, and capable of accommodating active crowds. The other is a quaint and cozy room for more intimate gatherings, our “Blue Room,” which features a fireplace and Tiffany-style lighting. Ad- jacent to both is a large kitchen, complete with a commercial stove, refrigerator, and plenty of counter space. And to top it off, our rental fee is very modest so that anyone in the community can afford to use the space. Just give a call to make arrangements to reserve for your date.
January’s calendar:
1/15: National Hat Day—check out a book while wearing your favorite hat, get a prize.
1/20, 5 pm: Book Club, reading Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Win- spear.
1/26, 10 am: Community Coffee—friends, coffee, treats. What could be better?
1/27, 6:30pm: Board Meeting, public welcome.
1/29, 6:30pm: Infinity and Beyond Sci-Fi Book Club, reading
“The Icarus Hunt,” by Timothy Zahn.
Mondays at 10am: Preschool Storytime.
See our calendar on Facebook. Our website: almondlibrary.org.
Location: 44 Main Street, Almond, NY 14804. Phone:607-276- 6311. Library Hours: M, W, Sat 9:30 am-1pm. Tu, Th 1-7 pm.
