ALFRED--A colorful committee (red, yellow, green) has begun planning for the fortieth anniversary of the in- stallation of Alfred's only traffic light.
This "Only in Alfred" event will feature major festiv- ities beginning on Friday, June 6, 2014, and will synch with Alfred University's Reunion Weekend. Please think about what you might wear, or ride in the parade, to gather on Park Street near the Brick at 6:30 p.m., and step off at 7 p.m. Ending under the (in?)famous traffic light, it will mark the beginning of a program of speeches, libations, and all kinds of folderol.
Yes, there will be souvenir tee shirts available for pur- chase, pies in the appropriate colors baked by Bakers Bridge Historical Association members, AND, returning for a second decade, "Traffic Jam!" We also hope to have food and craft vendors in the closed-off area of Main Street, and plan a non-ST0P street dance from 7:30-10 p.m. This is a family-friendly alcohol-free event.
ANGELICA—Remember when Allegany County residents kept nuclear waste out of Allegany County? The Concerned Citizens of Allegany County, who believe it is time to do it again, Monday sent the New York State Department of Conservation, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Senator Cathy Young a petition signed by many Alle- gany County residents to tell the DEC to ban dumping of gas drilling waste in New York State.
The Petition reads in part: "We urge the NYS DEC to ban dump- ing of gas drilling wastes ... which have been exempted from normal regulated disposal ... in New York State landfills.
"The black shales which underlie New York and Pennsylvania are known to contain uranium, radium, radon and other radioactive materials (NORM), but what is entering our landfills is highly processed and concentrated. We petition the DEC to acknowledge these wastes as not 'NORM' but actually 'technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials' (TENORM). These wastes do not fall within the exemption in New York's low-level ra- dioactive waste law for NORM."
One problem is radon. The DEC says radon is all around us and they call it normal. There's this problem with concentration though.
If shale with uranium, radon, radium and more is spiced up by con- centration it becomes TENORM. That means possible birth defects and cancers.
TENORM is the same sort of radioactive material Allegany County Concerned Citizens fought 24 years ago.
“If all this sludge is TENORM, we should call it that,” a spokesman for Concerned Citizens of Allegany County (CCAC) said, “We encourage our Senator, Cathy Young and our Governor, Andrew Cuomo, to make the DEC tell the truth.”
Twenty four years ago Concerned Citizens of Allegany County fought the good fight. National law changed. Nuclear waste now must be stored at the point of origin.
“With our ‘Bump the Dump’ fight we kept nuclear waste out,” the spokesman said, “Now it's back! With your help we can keep it out again.”
Trucks and tankers of sludge and fracking fluid have come to our County for the past 3 1/2 years under the DEC exemption. Impor- tation of this waste represents a serious threat to the water, air, health and Allegany County children's quality of life.
Area residents are being asked to sign the CCAC petition (call 585-365-8129 or 585-593-5705) and write to Senator Young, and Governor Cuomo and the DEC (NYS DEC, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233 (518-402-8013).
“We ask that our fellow citizens stand up and protect the Genesee River and Allegany County!” The next meeting of CCAC will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 29 at the American House Hotel in Angelica.

Alfred State College Dean The children of Robert Lyman Love will hold a brief service of remembrance for their father at the Alfred Rural Cemetery at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Anyone from the commu- nity who would like to join in this time of sharing nad prayer are warmly welcomed. There will be a reception following at the Al- fred United Methodist Church for further visiting with family and friends.
Bob was born in Syracuse in 1925 and married Janet Fuller in 1948. They moved to Alfred in 1951 and built their home on Jericho Hill where they raised their four children: Bob (Rose), Andrew (Rebekah), Charley (Bettyann) and Cindy (John). At the time of Bob’s death in No- vember 2013, his extended fam- ily included 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Bob and Janet were among the founders of Alfred United Methodist Church. The majority of Bob’s professional career was on the faculty at Alfred State Col- lege where he served as Dean of Allied Health. He and Janet be- came surrogate parents to many college students, over the years.
Bob retired in 1981 which al- lowed them time to become in- volved in a variety of mission and service projects, including Roving Volunteers in Christ’s Service and Habitat for Human- ity. Bob loved to work with wood and created several beautiful works of art for his family. For health reasons, Bob and Janet moved from their home on Jeri- cho Hill to a townhome in Canandaigua, NY in 2004. His children miss him dearly and look forward to honoring his memory as they bury his ashes next to Janet’s at the Alfred Cemetery on April 30.

Our final stop on the trek home was Washington, DC, where we vis- ited and had a tour of DC Central Kitchen with Niece Amanda Butts.
More about that later. We spent a glorious afternoon walking in our nation's capital, and stopped to snap this photo of our nation's Capi- tol through a screen of cherry blossoms, blissfully blooming in the spring sunshine.
One thing I love about spending some of the winter’s time in Georgia is the fantastic tomatoes you can buy. I think they are better than our own summer grown, but that’s probably because I haven’t had any for several months.
I have my favorite “tomato lady” who runs a little fruit and veg- etable stand next to a gas station just before you cross the bridge onto “our island.” The tomatoes are always sweet and juicy and no matter how many you ask her for, you will find a few extra in the bag when you get home.
This recipe is different from any I have seen before. It is from a tiny cookbook given to me by a friend on the island. The book is called The Beach Babes Cookbook Bible distributed by the Myrtle Beach Country Club.
Summer Time Tomato Pie
1 (9”) deep dish pie crust 2-3 T. chopped fresh basil 6 large tomatoes 1-2 T. chopped parsley 2/3 to ¾ c. mayonnaise crushed saltine crackers 2/3 c. Parmesan cheese
Bake pie crust until golden brown. Peel and slice (or chop) tomatoes and let drain in a colander for 30 minutes. Mix mayonnaise with cheese. Toss tomatoes, basil, and parsley. Place tomatoes in crust. Spread mayonnaise and cheese mixture over the top. Sprinkle with cracker crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Serves 8. (Many thanks to the wonderful cooks who filled in for me while I was away, eating tomatoes!)

gutted the Kanestio Historical Society’s building on Main Street, Canisteo, should be a wake-up call for other historical societies, Steve commented.
“The presentation shows pho- tos of ‘after the fire’, and I talk about the cause of the fire and what we have done to get the building ready for contractors as well as the insurance process.
I’ll talk a little about things that were lost, the cleaning process of items saved, and how some things were protected from the fire,” he said.
A life member of the Kanestio
Historical Society, Steve has held many positions since join- ing in 1999. He is currently KHS treasurer and editor of their newsletter and facebook page, and is also a member of the Steuben County Historical Soci- ety.In the 1980s he did a lot of work recording the Canisteo Cemeter- ies data which has been com- piled into a book with copies available at the KHS. Over the years he has also done extensive genealogy research both on his own family as well as helping others in their searches.
Steve has been interested in local history since graduating from high school in 1977, and has researched a great deal of Canisteo’s history, creating sev- eral PowerPoint programs which he has presented to numerous area groups. He has also recom- piled several of the Canisteo books such as Leora Drake’s Col. Bill’s Tales, has done exten- sive research on the history of Adrian, NY, and most recently was honored to have an Images of America Canisteo book pub- lished through Arcadia Publish- ing Company.
Steve says he’s currently work- ing on extensive research of the Hornell Universalist Church 1905 Sleigh/Train wreck.
“I have uncovered a lot of new information, including an image of the stained glass window ded- icated to the 10 women who lost their lives in that accident,” he said.
The Almond Historical Soci- ety was chartered by the State of New York in 1965. Officers are:
Lee A Ryan, president; Helen Spencer, vice president: Teresa Johnson, treasurer; Donna B.
Ryan, secretary; and board members Bob and Louise Schwartz, Brad Hager, Cindy Banker, Mike Baker, and Kim Costello.

ALFRED--Dr. Richard Kellogg, professor emeritus of psychology at Alfred State, is the author of a new book titled Barry Baskerville Returns. This children’s story, intended for an audience of young readers between the ages of seven and 10, is beautifully illustrated in color by noted Hawaiian artist Gary Kato.
The book is about a precocious youngster named Barry Baskerville who lives in Watsonville. Barry aspires to become a famous detective like his role model Sherlock Holmes. As ex- pected, Barry irritates his friends and teachers by wearing a deerstalker hat, peering at everything through a magni- fying glass, and flaunting his astound- ing powers of observation and deduction. During a family vacation at the beach, Barry impresses his parents
by investigating the case of the missing car keys. The Baskervilles conclude that it really is nice to have a detective in the family.
Barry Baskerville Returns shows school-age children the impor- tance of making accurate observations and then making logical de- ductions from their observations. The lessons taught in the story are designed to enhance problem-solving abilities. The book is pub- lished by Airship 27 of Fort Collins, Colo., and is available in both print and Kindle formats through Amazon.
Dr. Kellogg is the author of four previous books dealing with Sherlock Holmes; the most recent is titled Barry Baskerville Solves a Case (Airship 27, 2013). He has received grants from the SUNY Research Foundation to develop instructional materials on the prob- lem-solving strategies of “The Great Detective.” A frequent contrib- utor to The Baker Street Journaland The Serpentine Muse, Kellogg enjoys introducing young readers to Baker Street and the magical world of Sherlock Holmes and his loyal companion, Dr. John Wat- son.

DIFFERENT APPROACHES – SAME GOALS
County Legislators don’t always agree about what needs to be done, or how to accomplish spe- cific objectives. However, we are united in wanting to do what is best for Allegany County. Over recent weeks there has been spirited discussion and debate about several issues. It would be easy (but unfor- tunate) to attack the motives and viewpoints of those with whom you disagree. The harder chal- lenge is to listen to differing viewpoints, consider opposing arguments, and examine the motivations of opponents.
The April 14th session of the Allegany County Legislature convened at 2:00 p.m. in the Legisla- tive Chambers. Former Navy Radioman 7th Class Donald Fegley led those present in the Pledge of Allegiance. Don and Betty Fegley and their family are special friends. Don taught history at Rushford High School for many years. They make Allegany County a better place. Lee Gridley addressed the Board about some changes going on at the County Fair. The Fair Board is facing special financial challenges this year. Please consider becoming a County Fair sponsor.
Two special events took place at this session of the County Legislature. Chairman Curt Crandall appointed several local leaders to the new “Con- solidation and Efficiencies Ad Hoc Committee.”
This group will explore ways that the County and other local governments can become more effi- cient, more productive, and hopefully reduce taxes.
I look forward to receiving some creative proposals from this committee. Also, Chairman Crandall pro- claimed April 6-12 as Crime Victims’ Rights Week in Allegany County.
The Board considered six different resolutions at this session. Resolution #73-14 corrected the hours worked (for State Pension System purposes) for the County Clerk and District Attorney. They will now receive credit for working 7 hours each regular workday. Resolution #74-14 urged the State Legislature to reject Governor Cuomo’s proposal to provide prison inmates with a college education at taxpayer expense. This is an ill-conceived and offensive proposal. It is a slap in the face to every
working parent who struggles to help their child(ren) earn a college education. Resolution
#75-14 offered an alternative to the “Property Tax Freeze” proposal put forward by Governor Cuomo.
The Legislature supports the goal of freezing or re- ducing property taxes, but opposes the complicated and unfair way that it works. Our Board believes that the State should take over full funding for State programs that are currently being paid for by County taxpayers. If the State paid for Medicaid the County could reduce your taxes by more than one-third. That would be meaningful tax relief.
Resolution #77-14 confirmed the appointment of Deborah Aumick, James Gelatio, Sherry Weirich, Ralph Eastlack and Amy Jacobson to the Allegany County Youth Board for four year terms.
Resolution #78-14 cancelled the 2009-2013 delin- quent tax liens on a parcel of land in the Town of Wirt. This was based upon the determination that there is no practical method to enforce those tax liens. This action will save money since the County will not have to reimburse other local taxes on this parcel in future years.
I skipped over Resolution #76-14 during my review of other resolutions, because I want to re- view it in more detail. This resolution proposes cre- ating a full-time position of “radio technician” in the Sheriff’s Department. The person filling that position would be responsible for installing, re- moving and fixing radio equipment used in the Sheriff’s Department, Public Works Department, fire and EMS departments, and E-911 System. That work is currently performed by an outside vendor on an “as needed” basis. A current employee hold- ing another position also performs a substantial amount of this work. The Public Safety and Per- sonnel Committees debated creating this position.
One group wanted to seek proposals from outside vendors, while others favored creating the new po- sition. On Monday this resolution was tabled. A majority of the Board wants to seek a “Request For Proposals” from outside vendors to see which ap- proach will be more cost effective. We are now going through that process. Saving taxpayer money is more important than figuring out who was right or wrong.

Concert Saturday nite
Nerd writes on Google
Baffled? Just a Titch I wonder why titch
Is not in the dict…ionary.
Then it’s not unabridged – Not even a smidge…so be wary.
And I’m more than amazed –
Simply shocked – to see “tased”…isn’t either.
So I’m left with no choice
But to stand up and voice…my displeither.
—Anon Abridged Mouse Alfred Community,
The Alfred University Student Activities Board is again trying to provide a safe and enjoyable con- cert for students and the commu- nity. The Dogfest Concert will be held from 6 PM until midnight on Saturday, April 26th either in the McLane parking lot or inside the gym (if weather is uncooperative).
With any outdoor concert, we realize that the noise may be dis- ruptive to residents and for this we truly apologize. We appreciate your forgiveness of this inconven- ience and hope that our event’s existence provides enough posi- tive impact that it reduces other disruptive behaviors.
Thank you again for your sup- port.
Dan Napolitano Director, Student Activities Alfred University
Letter to the Editor:
I'm what you might call a little bit of a nerd. It's okay, I accept and even embrace the title. After read- ing Alan Littell's article titled
"Stumbling Toward a Virtual To- morrow" from the 4/17/14 Alfred SunI thought I might be able to shed a little light on what was going on, and also make a few suggestions on how you might mitigate it.
What was happening is how Google makes its money. Google really isn't selling anything, and their website is free to use, so how do they make their millions if they're not selling you anything?
Well, not directly anyways – what they're selling is you.
The first way is somewhat be- nign. Google analyzes the searches everyone makes and what links they then go to in order
to shape what results a particular search term produces. Something that gets clicked on a lot gets bumped up further on the list to appear on top of the search results and something that doesn't often get clicked goes down the list.
Companies can also pay Google to get their website to appear fur- ther up on the list for a particular search term, and subsequently gives Google more money every time someone goes to their web- site through Google. It may only be pennies, or fractions of a penny, but with billions of people using Google every day that can add up quickly.
The other way Google makes money is by selling your searches out to other websites so they cater the ads on their websites to what you may be interested in based on what you were searching for. This is what I suspect happened to Alan in the event he described. The New York Times and the Associ- ated Press would certainly be clients willing to pay Google for search information from people to shape their ads to each visitor to their website, as the websites get money for displaying these ads and even more when you click on them. If you were just searching for medical information then you may be more likely to click on an ad for a doctor.
But how did the New York Times and their advertisers know that it was specifically Alan who made those searches, and how did they know he was in California?
The sneaky way Google and other website do this is by using your IP address, sometimes called your IPP. The latter is sometimes mistakenly interpreted as an acronym for "Internet Point of Presence," but this interpretation is actually helpful in understand- ing what an IP address is. Basi- cally, your IP address is where you are on the World Wide Web, and a way you can think about it is your mailing address.
The Internet kind of acts like re- ally fast mail: you send a letter from your mail box out to request a specific thing, a website you're looking for, and it is quickly de-
livered to you. Every computer connected to the Web has its own, unique IP address and this is how, even if you have multiple comput- ers connected to the Internet in your house, each computer can be on a different website; each has its own autonomous IP address.
Just like with physical mail, when you request something to be mailed to your address must be known to the sender. And, just like with physical mail, some places that send your mail sell your in- formation to others so that you start receiving junk mail. A differ- ence is that, while a physical mail- ing address is static, an IP address can change based on where you are accessing the Internet from.
So, if you're at home you have one IP address, when you're at the Creative Arts Center in Wellsville you have a different one, and when you're in California, again, you have a different one.
Sending your location informa- tion out is necessary to navigate the Web so you can receive stuff from it, so your IP address will change when you go to other lo- cations, and this is how Google and its advertisers know where you are and can shape their ads to reflect that. It's also how those an- noying, animated Flash ads al- ways seem to be able to offer you the "best prices on real-estate"
wherever you happen to be.
Hopefully that sheds a little light on how ads can be catered so specifically to what your interests or recent Internet activity was, and why Google isn't necessarily forthcoming with an easy way to opt out. So how can one "opt out"
of this system?
There's much debate as to what is the most secure browser, but if you're trying to avoid the situation Alan described then one browser you want to avoid is Google Chrome. Since it's a Google prod- uct, they are able to track every- thing you do online, not just those actions you do on and from
Google's website. Also, if you have a Google account (and Gmail and YouTube are both Google accounts), then I would try to get in the habit of logging out whenever you are done using the specific thing you needed to log into your Google account to do (such as send an e-mail), re- gardless of what browser you use.
So what browser is good to use?
My personal preference is Mozilla's Firefox browser (and my co-workers believe I put it on such a high pedestal). Security Spread also rated it highly based on four criteria ( http://securi- tyspread.com/2013/08/12/private- secure-browser/ ). It's an open source browser available for both Windows and Mac operating sys- tems that has features to let you control how much information you want to put on the Web, is transparent in most everything they do, and updates frequently to better secure you as different se- curity threats and breaches come up on the Web.
(The company did recently come under fire recently when they elected Brendan Eich, a man with staunch anti-LBGT stances and political donations, as their CEO, but he has since stepped down due to many Firefox users raising their voices, and Mozilla the company also released a state- ment expressing that the political views of Brendan Eich do not necessarily reflect those of the company).
Another way Firefox can make you secure when browsing is with the many Add-Ons they offer for their browser. When you open Firefox, if you go to Tools and click on Add-Ons you will be brought to a new page that will allow you to download and install a multitude of additions to Fire- fox, from simple ones that change the appearance of your browser to ones that replaces the UK news websites of The Daily Mail and Daily Express with images of tea
and kittens (I'm not making this up). There are also Add-Ons to make your browsing more secure.
Two I like are Ghostery and Ad- Block Plus, both of which will come up at the top of the list if you search their names in the Add-Ons page.
Ghostery is a pretty robust Add- On that lets you know who is try- ing to track your Internet activity (like Facebook and Google) and give you options to block these trackers outright. Once it's in- stalled, go under Tools, Ghostery, Manage Ghostery's Options... to configure this. Scroll down and you can simply select all and save on the Trackers and Cookies tab if you want them all blocked. Even if you skip that step Ghostery will still block many of the trackers used to snoop into what you're doing online.
Ad-Block Plus does exactly what its name suggests: it strips all of the advertising from webpages, and even beyond to YouTube videos and other media sites.
Some critique Ad-Block Plus in that it means that websites are los- ing money from ad revenues be- cause it completely blocks ads from even loading when you visit them, which is true. My counter- point to that is that Google seems to be doing pretty well financially, even with me and, I'm sure, many others blocking their ads, but if you're on a website that you wish to support you have the option under Tools, Ad-Block Plus to dis- able it on certain websites so they can receive ad revenue from your visit. The choice is yours.
Firefox and the Add-Ons I've mentioned are all free to down- load and use.
I hope my long letter has pro- vided an explanation as to how Google and other websites can track you and seem to be able to advertise so directly to you, and how you can opt-out if you want.

New Happenings at the Almond Library
By SANDRA ROBINSON
Almond Twentieth Century Club Library Director
What are YOU passionate about? Whatever piques your interest, gets you excited, “turns you on,” “lights your fire,”... the library can help! Is it a sport? A hobby? Your kids? Stop by the Almond Li- brary booth at Hot Dog Day in Alfred, April 26 from 12-5 pm, to tell us, and the rest of the world, what you “geek”!
We'll also be looking for people with passions to sign up for our poster photo shoot. Be an inspiration to us all, and put your face and what you “geek” on a poster for us to display–for free, of course.
Also at our Hot Dog Day booth will be the chance to scan and
“like” us on Facebook with your Smartphone, sign-ups for our new Sci-Fi book club and for volunteer opportunities (we LOVE volun- teers), and lots and lots of Geeky handouts.
On Monday, April 28 at 10 a.m. please join us at the library for Community Coffee and to celebrate Great Poetry Reading Day! The conversation is always lively, and will be even more so with the ad- dition of our guest poets, Mary Jane Essex and David Hardy (of Sun Spots fame), who will be reciting some original works for us. It's sure to be a great time!
April's calendar:

Rising out of Nashville’s thriving independent music scene, the Farewell Drifters are an alt-folk band known for their 60’s era-inspired harmonies and adventurous musical energy.
They have crafted a seamless blend of intellectual psychedelic pop with melodic songs that openly explore the brightest and darkest corners of life with raw intensity.
The Farewell Drifters’ latest album, Echo Boom, has been met with critical praise and finds them growing from young men into thinking men and establish- ing their considerable place in
this world.
With their shimmering har- monies, gently propulsive acoustic instrumentation and disarmingly honest songwriting, the Farewell Drifters have ar- rived at an engaging, inventive musical hybrid all their own - pure, but not so simple; accessi- ble and highly welcoming, yet highly personal.
Since setting out over four years ago, they have casually but clearly defied any precon- ceptions based on their lineup (acoustic guitar, mandolin, fid- dle, upright bass), delighting au- diences everywhere from MerleFest to intimate listening rooms with a sound that sus- pends classic elements in fresh new surroundings.
