ALFRED–Alfred University (AU) offers one of the best undergraduate education experiences in the country according to findings in The Princeton Review’s 2015 edition of “The Best 379 Colleges”
released this week.
The 379 “best” colleges are not ranked but rep- resent only about 15 percent of the 2,500 four- year, American colleges and four institutions
outside the United States surveyed for the publi- cation. Those selected receive an extensive profile including an overview of campus life, student de- mographics, academics, admissions, and financial facts.
The company’s lists are based on a survey of 130,000 students (about 343 per campus on aver- age) attending the colleges. The 80-question sur- vey asks students to rate their schools on several topics and report on their campus experiences.
Topics range from assessments of their professors as teachers to opinions about their school’s library, and career services.
“The U.S. News version of the ‘rating game’ has become a joke in which a few thousand of Amer-
ica’s more than 5,000 colleges and universities claim to be highly ranked. It is gratifying, then, for Alfred University to be continually recognized by the Princeton Review, which draws a more critical line of excellence across all categories and types of institutions,” said Dr. Charles M. Edmondson, AU president. “To be known as one of the best 379 among the 5,000 is genuinely meaningful in a way that requires no asterisks or explanations,” he added.
“The Princeton Review recognition is certainly welcomed news,” said Dr. Rick Stephens, AU provost and academic vice president. “Prospective students and their families need all the information available as they search for the best fit of aca- demic, co-curricular, and financial means in order to realize their aspirations.
“Alfred University clearly understands how to weave these important elements together, leading to a truly value-added educational experience,” he noted.
“Alfred University offers outstanding academ- ics, which is the chief reason we selected it for the book,” said Rob Franek, Princeton Review’s sen- ior vice president, publisher, and author of “The Best 379 Colleges.” “We base our choices prima- rily on data we obtain in our annual surveys of ad- ministrators at these schools and at hundreds of other colleges. We take into account input we get from our staff, our 27-member National College Counselor Advisory Board, our personal visits to schools, and the sizable amount of feedback we get from our surveys of students attending these schools,” he explained.
“We also work to maintain a wide representation of colleges in the book by region, size, selectivity, and character,” Franek added. AU is also listed as one of 225 “Best Northern Colleges.”
AU students surveyed noted the University “is a small school with an impressive range of world- class majors” and they said it’s “easy to take sub- jects outside your major.” Students surveyed also said AU’s “outstanding, talented, dedicated” fac- ulty is one of its biggest draws. Several cited pro- fessors who are “always pushing you to reach your full potential” and who are “always willing to put time into student independent projects.”
The Princeton Review is a leading test prepara- tion and college admission services company headquartered in Natick, MA.
ALFRED–The Educational Founda- tion of Alfred, Inc., annually funds up to eight Alfred State students through its work-grant program, allowing students who are ineligible for work-study funds to find employment on campus. The grant is renewable on an annual basis.
Additionally, departments within Al- fred State can request student workers with specific skills and the work-grant coordinator attempts to meet those needs with appropriate student help.
Students funded through the Ed Foun- dation to work in specific areas on cam- pus are considered “regular” employees
of the college and are expected to main- tain the level of professionalism required of their colleagues.
For award year 2013-14, 10 students from Engineering, Physical and Life Sci- ences, Public Relations/Sports, Student Engagement, International Student Serv- ices, Business Department, and Student Records and Financial Services earned a total of $9,013.28 from the Work Grant Program.
The program is administered through the Student Records and Financial Serv- ices Office.
The Educational Foundation of Alfred,
Inc., is a private foundation representing faculty, staff, and friends of Alfred State dedicated to improving the AS commu- nity through the support of educational programs. The activities pursued by the Educational Foundation of Alfred, Inc., are governed by a board of directors made up of representatives from each of the following groups: alumni, College Council, faculty and staff, and friends of the college.
The Foundation provides monetary support to enhance learning opportunities for students through scholarships, work grants, and community service projects.
The Ed Foundation also funds the Build- ing Trades programs’ hands-on home construction projects.
Additionally, the Foundation owns and maintains the School of Applied Technol- ogy campus in Wellsville. The 22-acre parcel consists of more than 20 buildings with some 800 students enrolled in 19 programs. The programs, which stress
“learning by doing,” incorporate tradi- tional classroom experience with compre- hensive “on-the-job” laboratory experiences. Since 1996, the Foundation has invested more than $2.3 million in improvements on the campus.

ALFRED--As 503 first-year and 69 transfer students arrive on the campus of Alfred University today, an estimated 90% of them will have completed on-line training regarding the issues of alcohol consumption and sexual assaults on college campuses.
Dr. Charles Edmondson, president of Alfred University, told an Ade Dining Hall gathering of faculty and staff Tuesday morn- ing that the institution has already addressed the complex issue of sexual violence and will continue.
Dr. Edmondson enlisted the support of the faculty and staff in efforts to maintain a safe campus environment for all. Citing other institutions’ efforts to manage the bad public relations as- sociated with sexual assault on a college campus, Edmondson said that AU is more concerned with prevention of incidents that disrupt the educational opportunity of its students.
Meanwhile, Congressman Tom Reed is continuing his efforts to reduce sexual assaults across the country with a new bill fo- cused on curbing sexual assaults on college campuses. The Cam- pus Accountability and Safety Act sets a number of new provisions in motion to make sure colleges and universities are responsive to the needs of students. A bipartisan group of 18 House Members joined to introduce the bill.
“We must empower every student with adequate and fair re- sources so they feel safe on campus and are protected against victimization,” Reed said. “This bill will expand resources for students, demand accountability and transparency from colleges and strengthen penalties for a school’s misconduct. These initia- tives will help bring sexual assault on campuses to the forefront of the conversation at the national level – something that is long overdue. These are our children, our grandchildren, our nieces and nephews – we need to make sure they are safe and cared for.”
Reed’s bill focuses on strengthening accountability and trans- parency for colleges and universities, sets stiff penalties for a school’s non-compliance, requires training for on-campus per- sonnel and gives students access to confidential advisors to use as a resource. The bill also creates an annual, anonymous survey for students country-wide on their experience with sexual vio- lence on campus. The anonymous results will be published on- line so that parents and students have the information available when they make decisions on school choice.
“We’re continuing our efforts to keep the spotlight on sexual assault prevention and narrowing that spotlight to college cam- puses, where one in five women experience sexual assault during their college years according to the National Institute of Justice,”
Reed continued. “The statistics are staggering and we need to hold all of our campuses to a higher standard. Sexual assault in any form is one hundred percent unacceptable and the law needs

ALFRED–Alfred State’s Bachelor of Architecture pro- gram has moved one step closer toward accreditation from the National Architectural Accredit- ing Board (NAAB) after the board formally granted the pro- gram initial candidacy status earlier this month.
Dr. John C. Williams, dean of the School of Architecture, Man- agement and Engineering Tech- nology, said NAAB granted the status after approving the Archi- tecture and Design Department’s accreditation plan and conduct- ing an initial candidacy visit.
“That is the hurdle we have cleared, so now we are an offi- cial, formal candidate for ac- creditation,” Williams said. “In 2016, there will be a continua- tion of candidacy visit. Two-year intervals are required to check your progress as you move for- ward.”
Alfred State President Dr.
Skip Sullivan said, “The pro- grams at Alfred State are ever working to improve. This mile- stone of initial candidacy re- flects not only a lot of hard work by faculty and staff, but is also a testament to the quality of our programs.”
Alfred State’s Bachelor of Ar- chitecture (BArch) degree is the only BArch in the State Univer- sity of New York (SUNY) sys- tem. It is also one of only seven BArch degrees offered in New York State.
Williams said the Architecture and Design Department hopes the BArch program will be ac- credited by 2018.
“That’s the goal. That’s our hope,” Williams said. “It’s most beneficial for our graduates.
They would be part of our first graduating class to have com- pleted the program in its entirety and then they would have the status of an accredited program.
We’re really pushing for that.”
According to its website, www.naab.org, the NAAB is the sole agency authorized to ac- credit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture.
“Most of the state registration boards require a NAAB-accred- ited degree to license somebody to be a professional architect, so that’s the impetus of having an accredited degree,” Williams said.
The Architecture and Design Department, Williams said, is very excited about the BArch program receiving initial candi- dacy status.
“It just shows the hard work, the quality of the program and the quality of the faculty,”
Williams said. “They’ve done the lion’s share of the work, put in a lot of effort and a lot of work and continue to do so. It’s been a dream of the department’s.
This was the first step. We’re making our way to accreditation.
It’s within our grasps.”
ASC takes step toward architecture accreditation
Philip (Molly) Andrus of Canis- teo. Gwyndoline is also survived by her much loved sister-in-law, Barbara Giles of Seven Oaks, England, and Ann Hubble of Wales. She has several nieces and nephews living in England.
Gwyn worked as a Registered Nurse in England and is a vet- eran of the British Army. She was a clerk, and a jewelry sales- woman. She was a talented needlepoint artist and enjoyed knitting and crochet. She was quite artistic and enjoyed many craft projects.
Gwyn traveled extensively in her lifetime with Dudley as a member of the R.C.A.F. She en- joyed opportunities to see so much of the world. She and Dudley retired in 1971 to Bury St Edmunds, England. In 1974, they immigrated to Hornell, to be nearer to their grandson. They
later moved to Austin, TX and then to Port Richey, FL. How- ever once her grandsons arrived she was much happier to come for extended visits with them.
One of her greatest joys in later years was to play with her great- granddaughters, Adalyn, Mal- lory and Whitney Andrus.
Private burial service was held at the convenience of the family in Hillside Cemetery, in Canis- teo. Friends are invited to an open house of calling hours and celebration of life at the home of Charlie and Zena Andrus at 4431 County Route 61, An- dover, from 2 to 8 p.m. Saturday, August 23.
Arrangements are with the H.P. Smith & Son, Inc. Funeral Home in Canisteo.

Born August 19, 1925 in Scranton, PA , she was married to George Housen, who prede- ceased her. The Housens moved their family to Alfred when George accepted a managerial position with the local telephone company.
She was predeceased by her husband, George E. Housen;

to reflect that. It’s time to say no more. There are no excuses.”
The bill already has strong support in the Senate and has been in- troduced by a bipartisan group of Senators including Senator Gilli- brand of New York.
Reed will be on a college campus in the district this week for a sexual assault awareness and prevention roundtable. Earlier this year, Reed held a roundtable at Ithaca College along with represen- tatives from Cornell University, Corning Community College and area district attorney offices to hear about ways to protect students from sexual assaults on campus, hold perpetrators fully accountable and improve reporting methods.
Tom Reed continues to be involved in the NO MORE organiza- tion’s efforts to end sexual assault and domestic violence. Earlier this year he led his House colleagues in recognizing national NO MORE week and national Sexual Assault Awareness month.

Looking toward Waterwells Road from high on Lake Road in the Town of Alfred, I thought I saw a Picasso-ish face contemplating me.
I was thinking of a recipe I once had, and now can’t find, for a salad made with fresh peas, lightly blanched. This recipe is close and came from a cookbook by Ann Hodgman called One Bite Won’t Kill You written for all the mothers trying to get their kids to at least taste new things. It calls for frozen peas but could be used with fresh.
Crunchy Pea Salad
½ c. mayonnaise 1 (10 oz.) pkg. tiny frozen peas, 2 T. vegetable oil thawed and drained
4 tsp. vinegar ½ c. salted peanuts
1 tsp. sugar 6 bacon strips, cooked crisp pepper to taste ¼ c. minced red onion
Combine the first four ingredients in a bowl and whisk till well combined. Crumble the bacon strips. Gently stir everything together.
Chill one hour before serving. Serves 4.

By BARB WELCH Will-Snyder Reunion Secretary
ALFRED STATION--The 66th annual Will Reunion and the 24th Will-Snyder Reunion was well attended with 100 gath- ering on Sunday, July 27 at Camp Harley Sutton in Alfred Station.
Shortly after 1:30 p.m., there appeared to be an invasion of short, little people running in every direction. There were so many new little faces, the secre-
tary is convinced that next year we will need a picture to put the names to all those faces.
Tallying the names from the attendance list, it was learned that 23 great grandchildren at- tended, 17 who were ten years and under, and six were 11 and over. The Harold and Beverley Snyder clan hailed 10 great grandchildren, with all four daughters living in Alfred. The Ken Snyder clan had seven great grandchildren, all grandchildren
of Mike and Sue Snyder, and the Frank Snyder clan had six great grandchildren present.
Of those in attendance, only six were guests, and the oldest Snyder descendant was Anna Marie Snyder Trowbridge, and the youngest was 3-month-old Gabrielle Tutak, daughter of Jason and Summer Tutak and granddaughter of Roger and Sandy (Snyder) McGraw.
There were three new births reported in the last six months, Gabrielle, of course, and a new grandson to Mark and Kelly Lawrence's daughter Lindsey Blair. Roger and Sandy McGraw also celebrated a new grandson born to Andrew and Kelly Mc- Graw who live in Durham, NC.
Laurie Pazdernik travelled the farthest to the reunion from Min- nesota, via Hawaii, with her daughter, Presley. Laurie is the youngest daughter of Ken and Betty Snyder.
After a bountiful meal in the camp pavilion, a short meeting was followed by many of those short, little people enjoying the water slide, with many young adults joining the fun. The first and second generation either watched or caught up on the family news.
The family continues to appre- ciate the use of Camp Harley Sutton, so well-equipped and maintained by the Seventh Day Baptist Allegheny Association of Churches.
LATHAM--Major General Patrick A. Murphy, the Adjutant General, announces the recent reenlistment of members of the New York Army National Guard in recognition of their continuing commitment to serve commu- nity, state and nation as part of the Army National Guard.Spe- cialist Patricia Ervolinofrom Andover, N.Y. has reenlisted to continue service with the 222nd Military Police Company.
On Sunday, August 24 the Al- fred Station Seventh Day Baptist Church will hold a Yard Sale with treasure to be found be- tween 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Starting at 11:30 a.m. Stearns BBQ chicken will be sold for $7.00 (½ Chicken, Macaroni Salad.
Baked Beans and Roll). There will be two bounce houses.
Make it a day for family fun.

DOING THE JOB RIGHT!
So far this summer the Board of Legislators has had two relatively short meetings. In July Chairman Crandall attended a training session in Albany. In his absence Vice-Chairman Dwight Fanton presided over the meeting, and conducted a no-nonsense meeting that concluded in record time. On August 11th Chairman Crandall presided over our regular session and proceeded through the agenda even faster. Total time for the Board ses- sion was about 30 minutes. Although the legisla- tive session was short I still ended up spending the entire afternoon on County business.
The August 11th session of the Allegany County Legislature commenced at 2:00 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance, led by retired Navy CTMC (SW) Chief Petty Officer Jeffrey Frazier.
Chairman Crandall attempted to explain what the initials represented. Later we learned from Jeffrey Frazier that his service involved encrypted com- munications and involved high security clearances.
His 20 years of devoted military service deserves our recognition and appreciation. We also learned that (a few years ago) Legislator Scott Burt had taught Jeff at Fillmore Central School.
Four resolutions were considered and ap- proved by the Board of Legislators. Resolution
#140-14 accepted and appropriated a $4,201.70 in- surance payment from NYMIR for damage to an Office For the Aging vehicle resulting from a motor vehicle/deer accident. Resolution #141-14 authorized the transfer of $20,000 from a “Claims Approved by Supreme Court” account to a Profes- sional Services account. This was needed to pay for legal counsel retained to defend the County against various lawsuits brought against it. Reso- lution #142-14 approved several transfers between various accounts totaling $49,193, related to use of “CHIPs” funds for payment of debt service ex- penses. Resolution #143-14 approved the Chair- man’s appointment of John Foels to the Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany and Steuben Southern Tier Extension Railroad Authority, for a term extending from August 28, 2014 to August 27, 2017.
The Board of Legislators also approved the payment of audited bills totaling $4,282,820.06 for approximately a two week period. This included
$771,219 for the Department of Social Services, more than $1,722,000 for Public Works, and more than $1,021,000 for payroll. With the latest pay- ment for Medicaid, the County has now paid more than $,6,375,000 in 2014.
Although several summer Board meetings have been short, there have been numerous other regular and special meetings that have taken con- siderable time. On July 15th I spent much of the day attending a County Union Negotiation session.
On July 16th I spent most of the afternoon attend- ing a Planning and Development Committee and a Ways and Means Committee meeting. On August 5th I spent all afternoon attending a special task force meeting regarding the County’s 911 Public Safety Grant and County Broadband Grant. Then on August 6th I spent all afternoon attending the Facilities and Communications Committee, Per- sonnel Committee and Human Services Commit- tee meetings. These committee and task force meetings are where much of the important work of the Legislature gets done. It usually isn’t very glitzy or exciting, but is extremely important in terms of sifting through issues, options and alter- natives on myriad matters.
Over 8 years ago when I was considering run- ning for election as a County Legislator I asked a retiring legislator how much time it took to do the job. He said that it involved attending two Board sessions per month and a “few other meetings.” I think he was intentionally vague about the amount of time involved so that I wouldn’t get frightened off. It turns out that I routinely spend about 25 hours per week (more than 100 hours per month) on Legislator related duties. That includes attend- ing meetings, doing research, communicating with constituents, consulting with other officials, and writing these weekly articles. Some legislators may be able to get the job done in less time. That is how long it takes me to do the job the way I feel it needs to be done. I think it makes a difference. I hope you agree.

The Seussian Tree
There once was a woman named Robin M. Pawling;
To teach children science was her highest calling, And teach them she does, in a setting bucolic, Where squirrels and foxes and deer like to frolic, Since hardly another soul lives thereabout – Except for her students, when school’s not out – Oh, yes: in the borough of Houghton lives Robin, Up there with those smart academics hob-nobbin’.
Now, Robin possessed the most wonderful tree Whose branches and limbs were a pleasure to see, In whose branches and limbs abode robins and starlings, And others such birds which to Robin were darlings…
But whose branches and limbs, dear Miss Robin M. Pawling, If ever they gathered the urge to start falling
Endangered the power lines running beneath
And would bite through those lines as if bitten by teeth.
So one day the nice power company men (And women, perhaps, but that’s out of my ken) And all of their power equipment came calling On Robin M. Tree-Loving Bird-Watching Pawling.
They talked and explained and described and portrayed What a Damoclous danger that tree’s branches made, Then they cut and they hacked and they sawed, artfully, And left Robin M. Pawling…a Seussian Tree.

They still remember Alex in Bicknell, Indiana.
I ventured to Indiana during the first week of my vacation to do some research on a book I’m writing about legendary Alfred University Football Coach Alex Yunevich.
“Yunie,” as he was called from his days at Bicknell High School, was a star fullback who went on to star at Purdue in the Big Ten and after flirting with coaching big-time college football, racked up a record of 177 wins, 85 losses and 12 ties over 36 sea- sons of coaching at (little) Alfred University from 1937 to 1976.
Bicknell was known as “Little Chicago” in its heyday, attract- ing immigrants of all nationalities who labored in the 12 to 15 coal mines in the area. That was decades ago. Main Street today is a ghost town. Arriving on Monday, July 28 to begin some pre- arranged research at the public library in Bicknell, I first chatted with a few “locals” at the Cozy Corner Cafe during lunch. They gave me some names of a few old-timers with whom I should speak.
Poring through the microfilm of the Bicknell Daily Newsfor two days was informative as I found the local paper had a weekly
“Grid Grub” that focused entirely on the local high school football scene. I learned that Yunie, as a freshman, played on Bicknell’s 1924 team that went undefeated. The Terre Haute Tribune crowned the Bulldogs champions of Wabash Valley that included some 35 football-playing schools from Indiana and Illinois. Sen- ior standout Hurdis McCrary from that 1924 Bicknell team went on to become a star running back for the Georgia Bulldogs and then played for Coach Curly Lambeau’s Green Bay Packers in 1929, 1930 and 1931 when the Pack won three straight NFL championships.
While perusing the Daily News along with Bicknell High School’s “Tipple” yearbook were worth the cost of the trip in and of themselves, the chat with 99-year-old Dick Lynn and his wife Avis (arranged on Tuesday by Librarian Debbie Kean) was price- less. Dick and I hit it off from the start when he told me his first job was at a newspaper--as a janitor! He worked his way up and after attending linotype school in Toledo, became a linotype op- erator. That was until he joined in his father’s business of deliv- ering Sinclair gasoline products throughout much of Indiana.
Dick Lynn remembered as a teen watching Alex Yunevich play football for the Bicknell Bulldogs. He didn’t miss a game.
After all, his older brother was on the team.
Yes, they still remember Alex Yunevich in Bicknell, Indiana.

ALFRED–New work by Karen Donnellan, set to begin her first semester as assistant professor of sculpture and glass in the School of Art and Design at Alfred University, is currently on view in “Cer- cle,” a solo show, and “Resonance,” a two-artist exhibition, both in the Kilkenny Arts Festival at the National Craft Gallery, Kilkenny, Ireland.
Donnellan’s art is concerned with the intangible essence of things.
Affected by her interest in the metaphysical, her work draws on a wide range of media including blown and cast glass, woodturning, sound, light, and film. The circle - a universal symbol and a symbol of the universe - is a recurring motif in her art as an invocation of the divine feminine, balance, and infinity. Working with composer Alma Kelliher, her work also explores the boundaries of sound tech- nology and experimental glass art. The exhibits run through October 27, 2014.
Donnellan, a native of Ireland, said she is “nervous and excited”
about the “first solo show of my glass work in Ireland. I’m so happy to have found the thing I love to do, and to be able to do it every day.”
Donnellan earned a bachelor of design degree in glass from the National College of Art & Design, Dublin, Ireland, and a master of fine arts degree from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), Rochester.
She has had previous solo exhibits at the Burchfield Penney Arts Center, Buffalo; the Gallery Kunstler at BookSmart Studio, Rochester; and the National College of Art & Design, Dublin. Her work has also been included in group shows in Dublin; the United Kingdom; and Shanghai, China.
Donnellan was an artist in residence during the 2013-14 academic year at the National College of Art & Design, Dublin, teaching un- dergraduate kiln forming. She was also an academic tutor in the Glass & Ceramics Department, National Glass Centre, University of Sunderland, United Kingdom. In addition, she had a two-week artist retreat residency at Cill Rialaig, Kerry, Ireland. Donnellan pre- sented an Emerging Artist Lecture at the Glass Art Society Confer- ence in Chicago this past spring.
Her work can be found in the Morrison Hotel, Dublin; the Wallace Memorial Library Collection, Rochester, NY; and the College of Im- aging Arts and Sciences, Dean’s Collection, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester.
During this year, Donnellan was awarded the Future Makers Prac- titioner Grant for Exhibitions Assistance by the Design and Craft Council of Ireland; the Continued Professional Development Grant by the Design and Craft Council of Ireland; and the Artist Award from the Cavan Arts Council, Ireland.
Also a writer, she has been a member and media committee mem- ber for GASNews since 2010.in During the past year Donnellan has published: “Review: Ulysses Cylinders by Dale Chihuly and Seaver Leslie,” Glass Quarterly Fall 2014; “Interview: Emma Woffenden”
Glass Quarterly, Winter 2014; “The Intangible in Practice: Karen Donnellan, Emerging Artist Lecture, Glass Art Society Journal 2014;
and “Member Profile: Namdoo Kim,” GAS News Summer 2014, Glass Art Society.
Established by the Design & Crafts Council of Ireland in 2000, the National Craft Gallery is Ireland’s leading center for contempo- rary craft and design. Its programs feature Irish and international de- signers, artists, and makers across a variety of disciplines who push the boundaries of their chosen materials and techniques in their en- gagement with the making process.
ALFRED–The Alfred University (AU) Student Activities Board will host Iron and Wine live in concert on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. in Miller Theater, Miller Performing Arts Center. Doors will open at 7 p.m.
Tickets go on sale for AU students only Aug. 25 and for AU faculty/ staff Aug. 27. If the event is not sold out prior, the public may purchase tickets for $25 beginning 10 a.m., Monday, Sept. 1 in the Center for Student Involvement Office, on the ground floor of Powell Campus Center.
Singer-songwriter Sam Beam, using the pen name Iron and Wine, formed the musical act in 2002 after graduating from Florida State Univer- sity Film School. His music is highly influenced by his southern roots and his sound often mimics folk music of eras gone by, however, the sound changes from album to album.
He released his fifth studio album, “Ghost on Ghost,” in April 2013. Rolling Stone said of Iron
and Wine’s music that “his (Beam’s) vision seems to get grander with each album: On Ghost on Ghost … Beam surrounds his wide-eyed vocals with vast, spiraling galaxies of Beach Boys har- monies, New Orleans funeral horns, shimmering strings, drum fills and more.” Beam’s 2011 album
“Kiss Each Other Clean” debuted at #2 on the Bill- board chart.
Iron and Wine’s first three albums were “The Creek Drank the Cradle (2002), “Our Endless Numbered Days (2004), and “The Shepherd’s Dog (2007).
Iron and Wine has been featured on the sound- tracks of several television shows including
“Grey’s Anatomy” and “Friday Night Lights,” and one of his more popular songs, “Flightless Bird, American Mouth,” appeared in two of the movies/soundtracks of the popular series “Twi- light.”
ANGELICA–Music is an integral part of every weekend at Black-Eyed Susan Acoustic Cafe. The atmosphere is unlike a traditional concert or club...
it’s more like a house concert where musicians and guests share an intimate, casual space to make music, laughter and conversation. On any given night you might hear Irish fiddle music, Delta blues, a capella harmony, piano-bar show tunes, slide guitar, rock-a-billy, straight-up country, World music, Appalachian folk, fingerstyle guitar or Cajun swing. Our musicians will put an excla- mation point on your evening!
every Thursday in august: 11a.m.–2 p.m.
Angelicans Gary Barteau, former singer and guitar player with "Toothless Jimmy and the Happy-go-Lucky Blues Band", and his grandson Gavin Barteau have been collaborating for several years as a musical duo known as "Toothless Flamingo". They play a combination of Ameri- cana tunes and old standards. Gary is a long-time singer, songwriter and player… since 1967!
Gavin, a ninth grader and saxophonist in his school band, rounds out the ensemble playing har- monica, guitar, ukulele, percussion and vocals.
Every Thursday in August you’ll find them at Black-Eyed Susan Acoustic Café playing for cus- tomers between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. "Tooth- less Flamingo" is evidence that old hippies still know how to have a good time, and that the future of music is in good hands.
Friday, august 22nd at 7:30 p.m.
Jim Knapp of Wellsville began taking piano les- sons at the age of five and was playing solos in church the following year! He attended Fredonia School of Music and considered a career as a con- cert pianist. He has been a church organist since the age of 12 and has performed with a wide range of musical ensembles over 40-plus years. Genres include rock, jazz and country, with an interest in electronic music. Jim says, “The piano can provide
an unlimited palette for musical interpretation and I enjoy using all 88 keys in my arrangements.”
His music is heavily influenced by Billy Joel, Elton John, James Taylor, and Jazz masters Chick Corea, and Billy Taylor. Classical influences in- clude Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Chopin and Stravinsky. Dinner begins at 4:30. Call 585-466- 3399 for details.
Saturday, aug 23rd at 7:30 p.m.
On stage, Curtis Osgood and RJ Siegers share nearly a hundred strings between them. The harp- like sound of Osgood’s dulcimer merges with Siegers’ work on guitar, mandolin and banjo.

Rob has won awards from fretted instrument guilds in several states and appears with numerous upstate ensembles. We're happy to welcome Curtis and Rob back to Angelica. Learn more at www.curtosgood.com
