By DONNA B. RYAN Special to the Alfred Sun ALMOND—Almond Histor- ical Society volunteers, some dressed in period costumes, hosted around fifty Alfred-Al- mond Central School fourth graders for the annual four-hour Hagadorn House Adventure on Tuesday, June 10.
The students, divided into teams, were greeted by guides in five locations: Jan Leathersich, dressed as “Aunt Margaret”
Karr in the middle parlor, Cindy Banker as Mrs. McHenry in the front parlor, Louise Schwartz as Mrs. Hagadorn in the upstairs, along with Lee A. Ryan as Chief Shongo in the fireplace room and Mary Ellen Westlake and Susan Steere holding fort in the Linn Phelan Gallery with the special collection of quilts and family artifacts.
Bob Schwartz was the bell- ringer, notifying the groups that it was time to move to the next room, and Tyler Baker assisted Chief Shongo.
As the children moved from place to place, Donna Ryan hosted two large groups of 25+
kids for an hour each time in the new office/archives building.
They were very interested in the family files, vintage Almond items, and the AACS yearbooks, as well as the 1972 flood and
Sun in Greece!

AACS fourth graders experience Hagadorn House AU dance prof to present ‘Framing New York’ show
About 50 Alfred-Almond Central School fourth graders at the Hagadorn House. (Photo provided) how it affected Almond.
They ate their lunches in the pavilion, thanks to Mike Baker and Kim Costello setting up the chairs and tables there.
The 1830s Hagadorn House contains a treasure of interesting artifacts from Almond’s history which proved interesting to the children: Chamber pots, top hats, a circa 1900s fire extin-
guisher manufactured in Al- mond, the cooking fireplace, a hair wreath, the quilt collection featuring local buildings and homes, the flint lock rifle, Moses Van Campen’s circa 1700s leather fire bucket, and military uniforms to name just a few.
Several guides read portions from The Almond Story written by the late John Reynolds, giv-
ing the students insight into the early settlement of the area and its people.
Jan Leathersich, stationed in the middle parlor, described the event this way: ‘The children were very attentive and listened with wide eyes as I told them about Aunt Margaret Karr and read one of the stories from John Reynolds’ book, The Almond
Story about the Indians attacking her home: ‘She displayed great courage during the Indian Mas- sacre at Wyoming, PA. The Indi- ans came to the Karr home, tomahawks and scalping knives dripping with the blood of their victims. With her husband away and her terrified children cling- ing to her for protection the mother, erect and fearless, met the attackers at the door. With upraised hand, she forbade them to enter, telling them: ‘You may go no farther than the Almighty God will allow!’ One of the In- dians apparently understood some English and he said,
‘Ugh...me understand, Great Spirit up there.’
“I asked them to try to imag- ine how they would feel in a sit- uation like that and how scary that must have been. I talked about Aunt Margaret being a God-fearing woman who be- lieved God's Word, prayed and asked God for His protection and power to do all she did as an Angel of Mercy to the settlers.”
The children ate their lunches in the pavilion, and gathered at the end for a “quiz-off”, after which the winning teams were awarded free certificates for the Strawberry Festival, which was held at Hagadorn House on Monday, June 23.
ALFRED–D. Chase Angier, associate professor of dance at Alfred University (AU), will present an instal- lation/event of “found” choreography on Governors Is- land, NY, daily from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., July 12-27.
“Framing New York,” offered through her company Angier Performance Works, will be “found” on the lawn between Castle Williams and Building 114 on the island.
The work will consist of a 14-foot-by-10-foot mini- malist, white, wooden frame and 10 simple, white, Adirondack chairs set in front of the frame set on Gov- ernors Island. These objects, strategically placed, will create an installation through which audience members will view the naturally occurring composition: the ar- chitecture, water, pedestrians, bikers, boats, nature, light, movement – “found choreography.” How long the par- ticipant decides to sit and watch is up to him/her.
This live, pubic artwork will capture the image of the city in motion and invite audience members to spend the time to see, contemplate, and perceive their city deeply in that moment – to rediscover or mark “their New York” and their place in this city that is changing every moment.
This project is part of a larger “Framing Series” which began with “Framing Edgewood Farms,” exhibited in June 2012 at Edgewood Farms in Upstate New York.
Each work in the series is site specific and asks a differ- ent set of questions depending on the site, but all of the works investigate place, found choreography, and a shared public experience.
Technical Director for “Framing New York” is Zach Hamm, technical director for the Performing Arts Division at AU. He holds a master of fine arts degree in technical theater production from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and a bachelor of arts degree in architec- tural studies and art from Connecticut Col- lege, New London.
The “Framing New York” project is sup- ported, in part, by Al-
fred University and the Herrick Gallman Foundation, as well as previously by the New York Film Academy and a New York State Council on the Arts Special Opportu- nity Stipends grant administered in Western New York by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council.
Angier, artistic director of Angier Performance Works, creates and performs site-specific performances, per- formance installations, dance-theater, and walking per- formances. These works have been performed internationally (Japan, Czech Republic, Germany, Mex-
ico, the United King- dom) and nationally (New York, California, Washington, Vermont, South Carolina, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Alabama). To learn more, more, please visit: www.angierper- formanceworks.com
Angier’s work has been reviewed as “in- telligent entertain- ment,” “a comic romp,” and “fine sto- rytelling” by The New York Times and The Dance Insider.
She lives and works in both Brooklyn, and Alfred. She earned a master of fine arts degree in choreography from The Ohio State University and a bachelor of arts degree in dance from UCLA.

BELFAST--The Bare-Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame in Belfast will hold its annual Induction Weekend from Thursday, July 10 through Sunday, July 13. Theme of the weekend for 2014 is “A Tribute To Women in Boxing.”
“When you think of bare knuckle boxers, you don’t usually think of women,” said Scott Burt, Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame coordinator. “But women have a history in boxing that goes back to the first recorded fe- male bout in 1722. This year, we are honoring women who have had an impact on boxing.”
The list of inductees this year includes original bare knuckle boxers Elizabeth Wilkinson (Stokes), Hattie Stewart, Anna Lewis, Hattie Leslie and Alice Leary. From the modern era, the honorary inductees will be “The First Lady of Boxing” Christy Salters Martin, Champion boxer Downtown Leona Brown, Olympic coach Gloria Peek, and NYS Athletic Commissioner Melvina Lathan. In ad- dition, reporter Nellie Bly will be an honorary inductee because of her 1889 interview of the Great John L. Sul- livan while he was training here in Belfast. “We are also recognizing Hessie Donahue, who traveled the entertain- ment circle with Sullivan and actually knocked him out,”
said Mr. Burt. He also stated the BKBHOF’s Woman of the Year will be Promoter Mercedes Vazquez-Simmons.
The Induction Day festivities will include a brunch with the inductees and a tour of the barns.

Asked to point out a favorite, local artist Craig Prophet comments here on the light in "Park Circle Drive," one in his Suburban Series, named for the streets on which the subjects are located.
Prophet, a 1968 graduate of Alfred University, currently has sev- eral works on display at the Wellsville Creative Arts Center, publicly viewable through July 17, 2014.
I was flailing about this week trying to come up with a different recipe to write about when I came across the recipe book a good friend had given me this winter when we were on Tybee Island. It is a tiny little thing probably four inches by six inches and maybe one hundred recipes. It is called The Beach Babes Cookbook Bible.
This recipe caught my eye because of its title-Sweetheart Gucci’s. Now the only Gucci I know of is a shoe company. I even tried to Google it and only found the shoes.
See if you have any idea why it would have such a title.
Sweetheart Gucci’s
2 pkgs.(sleeves) saltine crackers 1 c. light brown sugar 1 c. butter 2 c. nuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with cooking oil. Line the pan with saltine cracker squares. Mix sugar and butter over medium heat until they are well mixed. Spoon over crackers, sprinkle with nuts. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool before re- moving from pan.
Why are they called ‘Sweetheart Gucci’s’?

THE “CITY” DIFFERENCE
Last week I received a report from the Office of the State Comptroller (“OSC”) entitled “Review of the Financial Plan of the City of New York.” It is dated June 2014, and is 49 pages long. I decided it would be interesting to compare what is going on in the “Big Apple” with our circumstances in Allegany County. There are obvious differences in size and scale, but also some similarities and par- allels. Here is a summary of that report, and my observations about it.
OSC concluded that the single greatest uncer- tainty facing New York City (“NYC”) is the ab- sence of current labor agreements with all of the unions representing city employees. Apparently all labor agreements have expired, some as long ago as 2008. In May (2014) NYC announced agree- ment with the United Federation of Teachers that represents 37% of the City’s 260,000 workforce.
That agreement approved retroactive 4% increases comparable to increases awarded to other unions in 2009 and 2010. It also provides total wage in- creases of 10% over the next 7 years, with a
$1,000 payment per employee upon ratification.
The City hopes this agreement will establish a pat- tern that will be adopted by all of its other Unions.
If that happens the total cost for the increases will amount to $13.6 billion over the 5 year financial plan’s duration.
The City and Union have also entered into a binding agreement to reduce health insurance costs by $3.4 billion through 2018. They hope to achieve that reduction through savings, but the agreement authorizes increased employee contri- butions and/or co-payments, if necessary. Allegany County has expiring labor contracts, demands for higher wages, and increasing health care costs.
There are definite similarities.
NYC’s spending is projected to increase at an average annual rate of 4.6%, or more than double the rate that Allegany County is allowed under the
“Tax Cap.” Ironically, the Tax Cap doesn’t apply to NYC. According to OSC the projected deficits for NYC are $2.6 billion in 2016 and $1.9 billion
in 2017. However, OSC finds those figures “en- couraging” because they are significantly lower than previously projected deficits. I guess it all de- pends upon what your point of comparison. For- tunately, the NYC Budget for 2014 projects a $1.6 billion surplus.
NYC has benefitted from significant job growth over the past 5 years. That growth has been almost twice as large as the nation and rest of NYS. However, most of that job growth has been in lower paying jobs. The loss of high income Wall Street jobs has negatively impacted tax revenues for NYC. Tourism has grown rapidly in NYC, as it has for Allegany County. Property values dropped by almost 20% during the recession, but has recovered about one/third of the lost value since 2009. NYC and Allegany County both suffer from a significant shortage of affordable residen- tial housing.
NYC collects more and different types of tax revenue than Allegany County or most other NYS municipalities. For 2014 NYC will collect $19.97 billion in real property taxes; $9.31 billion in per- sonal income taxes; $6.46 billion in sales tax; $5.9 billion in business taxes; $2.38 billion in real estate transaction taxes; and $3.0 billion in other taxes.
Its total budget is $53.57 billion. By contrast, Al- legany County doesn’t collect anything from per- sonal income taxes, business taxes, real estate transaction taxes or other sources. Our primary sources of revenue are real property taxes and sales taxes totaling about $50 million. That’s less than a
“rounding error” for the NYC budget.
Medicaid and Welfare impose a huge burden for NYC, just as it does for Allegany County. In December 2013 almost 3.2 million NYC residents were enrolled in Medicaid, representing about one in three NYC residents. These percentages are ex- pected to grow under Obamacare. Public Assis- tance is paid to one in every five NYC residents.
Can NYC, or any municipality, sustain benefits at those rates?
I trust you found this review interesting and informative.
4 THE ALFRED SUN, Thursday, June 26, 2014
Letter to the editor
Some have inquired as to the dates of our annual summer vacation.The Alfred Sunwill NOT be published on Thursday, July 31, 2014 and Thursday, August 7, 2014 so that the staff (a term we use rather loosely here at the Sun) can take its annual summer reprieve.
Please plan accordingly. If you have any events that are planned between Thursday, July 24 and Thursday, August 14 and you’d like to get some publicity in the Alfred Sun, it should be sent to us prior to 12 noon Monday, July 21 so that it can appear in our Thursday, July 24 issue.
I’ve given up trying to keep up with the all the scandals associated***
with the Obama Administration--all adversely affecting Americans far and wide. Fast and Furious, Veterans Administration, NSA bugs, AP phone tapping, disclosing identities of CIA operatives and SEALs who took out Osama bin Laden, refusal to enforce immigra- tion law and protect our borders, Benghazi, IRS targeting of conser- vative groups, missing e-mails...each another “episode” that could make for a good TV series. Oh, you say there already is?
Credibility has long been lost. Just imagine if the IRS comes after you in an audit and demands that you show receipts to justify one’s deductions. “Oh, my computer crashed, causing a fire in my filing cabinet and all of the receipts were destroyed, never to be found again.”
While at Hornell’s Burger King the other night, watching CNN (I don’t have cable TV or network TV at home), after viewing Jerry Sandusky’s wife declaring her husband’s innocence, an ad came on encouraging Americans to impeach Obama. After the bogus “deal”
trading five high-level Taliban terrorists for alleged U.S. Army de- serter Bowe Bergdahl including a Rose Garden press conference photo op with his folks that made Bergdahl appear to be a hero. That was a real slap in the face to our real American heroes...those who gave their lives to search for Bergdahl and have died in true service to this nation.
On a lighter note, sometimes the ironies of life slap me in the face.***
With deadline fast approaching, I’m poring through the e-mails for stories that should appear in this week’s paper. Sometimes I don’t get through them all. Here’s a couple of e-mailed news items that just happened to appear together in my e-mail account:
New York to Become 23rd Medical Marijuana State and directly below this subject appeared:
Legislative Session Ends on High Note for NY Agriculture I can’t even make these things up!
It’s almost as good as the time at Herrick Library when I had to reclassify a book because I was sending it down to Collection Man- agement for repairs. No lie, the title of the book was Things Fall Apart.

Letter to the Editor:
Americans, are you slaves? Do you realize you consent to politi- cians using the IRS as their weapon to silence you, control your spending, while legally tak- ing your wealth?
Why isn't there a sea-to- shining-sea battle-cry against tyranny of politicians able to si- lence millions of Americans with the power of IRS, punishing op- position while skirting the law thus remaining unaccountable?
The existence of the IRS is a freedom issue. Repeal the 16th Amendment. Pass the Fair- TaxHR25 which defunds and dis- bands the IRS. As long as the IRS exists, politicians will pretend outrage at situations such as what we now face, but they will also continue using the IRS to silence opposition while reaping huge fi- nancial and political gains via lob- byist and loopholes.
The economic benefits of the FairTax over a Flat tax or income tax have been proven. The tax- payer's bill for the investigation of the IRS is staggering. However, economics issues of a tax struc- tur2e must not be the focus of our attention.We as a nation must en- sure that our children and grand- children have the freedom of speech and private ownership now denied under the income tax.
Pass the FairTax. Repeal the 16th. Or live in shame for tolerat- ing tyranny.

Necessity is the Mother of a Purchase I’ve got a brand new, bright red mower
So I’ll be mowing in a whole new different way;
My old one mowed much slower –
That once-wonderful ol’ oh-point-one-hoss shay.
Yes, a brand new, red grass-cutter (The old one, on a time, was also red) That will cut warm grass like butter
Was what I needed – cuz that old one now is dead.
My brand new, bright red yard machine Makes a 21” cut – whaddaya think of that?!
It’ll be the fastest job you’ve ever seen – I’ll mow my quarter-acre lot in two days flat!
The deck can raise or lower,
For whether mowing grass in meadow, copse, or gulch.
Ah…a brand new, bright red mower…
Do I like it? Yes, I like it very mulch!

Meet the MostArts Festival young pianists
By LISA LANTZ
MostArts Festival Artistic Director ALFRED—Only 10 days until the MostArts Festival Opening Gala Concert (July 6-12) featuring International Stein- way Artists, Chamber Music, Festival Or- chestra and the "MostArts Young Pianist Competition."
Eight amazingly talented students from the US and Canada, ages 13-18, will compete for a $10,000 grand prize, given in memory of AU faculty member and longtime Wellsville resident Robert Hut- ter. On Thursday and Friday evenings these young pianists will perform the first movement of a Mozart Concerto with the Festival Orchestra for the final round of the competition. And each evening, the audience will have an opportunity to par- ticipate and cast votes for their favorite pianist, which will be a special “Audience Favorite Award” given Saturday evening.
Alfred’s very own America’s Got Talent!
All events are free except the Evening Concerts in Miller Theater. Tickets are available at the Powell Campus Center, Herrick Library and at 607-871-2828.
Our 2nd week of our series features four of the eight Competition Finalists as they comment on playing the piano and the Mozart concerto they will perform.
Meet Thursday’s Finalists
MAyukI MIyAShITA For me, piano is a way to express my- self. Piano can have a huge range of sounds and many colors. When I'm play- ing the piano, I feel like its one big or- chestra and I can be a conductor. What I really like about Mozart Concerto No. 12 is that this piece is so pure and clean. It's so simple and pretty, so it makes me full of joy when I'm playing it.
Born in Hamamatsu City, Japan, 14 year old, Mayuki Miyashita currently re- sides in Maryville, Tennessee and studies piano with David Northington at the Uni- versity of Tennessee. She has received 1st prizes in numerous competitions includ- ing the Music Teachers National Associ- ation and the Tennessee Music Teachers Association. In 2013, she performed Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.12 with the Knoxville Symphony Youth Orchestra, and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.1
with the Maryville College Orchestra.
She won the second prize in the 2013 Kaufman Music Center International Youth Piano Competition in New York, and was awarded third prize in the Chopin International Piano Competition in Hartford. This past January, she ap- peared in Boston in NPR’s “From the Top” with Christopher O’Riley.
WILLIAM WANg
Behind every piece there are stories and emotions of the composer. By con- necting the composer to the audience in my performance, I can share the com- poser's feelings with the audience.
Mozart's Piano Concerto # 20 is a piece that is different the stereotypical Mozart pieces; it highlights the turmoil of Mozart's latter life. While still containing Mozart's charm, it has a dark and brood- ing tension that never resolves through- out the whole piece.
A resident of Woodbridge, Connecti- cut, 16 year old William Wang began studying piano at the age of five. He has been studying with Steinway artist Yoshie Akimoto. His performances include Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Steinway Gallery in Westport CT, Whitney Center in Hamden CT, and Enlow Hall in Kean University. He was selected to perform in 2013 Foulgue International Music Festi- val. Most recently, he won first place in the 2012 Golden Era of Romantic Music International Competition, organized by American Fine Arts Festival, the 2013 MTNA (Music Teachers National Asso- ciation) Connecticut Competition in sen- ior piano division, and 2013 NTD TV Youth Pianist Competition.

It’s strange, you know. To have fought and struggled for so long with this love I have for music and playing the piano and to have the simple results of people com- plimenting me or my friends idolizing me is a very strange feeling. I suppose you could say that I no longer care nearly as much on how many awards I get or if I ever become really famous. I have learned that fame and money can only do so much. For me, simply, is the plain joy of playing and the warmth I feel when people come up and tell me how much
they liked something, or that they could listen to me for days. They have no idea how much that affects me. That, I think, is my true goal, to never forget the feeling of happiness and never stop loving.
It’s easy to say why I love Mozart’s 23rd concerto. The opening starts so bright and clear, it’s like opening the cur- tains and letting the sunshine stream in.
The long phrases match the setting well, and by the time I’m halfway through, I find myself swept by the river of multi - colored waves. If the first movement is bright and happy, then the second move- ment is heartbreaking. It’s one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve honestly ever heard.
An 18 year old senior at Williamsville East in Amherst, New York, Duo studies with Tamari Gurevich, of the Eastman School of Music. In 2006, she performed with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orches- tra's Summerfest “A Mozart Celebra- tion.” She won first prize in Bradshaw and Buono's International Piano Compe- tition, which included a performance in Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall in 2007. Recently, she won the Duquesne Young Artist National Competition in Pittsburg, the Mildred Ness Award for Piano in Rochester, Heddy Killian Com- petition, and placed third in the Chopin Thousand Islands International Piano Competition at Cape Vincent. She was also proclaimed a National Young Arts 2014 Winner this year, and recently won of both the Amherst Symphony Orchestra Scholarship and BPO's Young Musicians Scholarship.

What I love most about playing the piano is the opportunity to communicate to the audience. There's a magical quality about creating music, since it's always amazing to see how many people can be touched by it. It's also extremely satisfy- ing to know that music can act a uniting force that brings members of the audience together. Knowing that I can change and impact lives with piano motivates me to improve and innovate every day.
Mozart is often known as a cheerful composer who composes works that are often associated with jubilance. However, this concerto seems to exhibit another side of Mozart that makes him more
human in a way. Although its melodies are beautiful, there is almost an obsessive and dark mood to this concerto, which is contrary to the common stereotypes of Mozart's music. Because this concerto il- lustrates a darker side of Mozart, I feel like we get to see him as a more human - like figure who isn't only comprised of happiness. In this way, we get to fully ex- perience Mozart not only as a composer but, as an individual.
A resident of Westford, Massachusetts, this 16 year old studies piano with Angel Ramón Rivera at the New England Con- servatory Prep School and the Rivers School Conservatory. He studies con- ducting with Yoichi Udagawa and is cur- rently the Assistant Conductor of the Melrose Symphony Orchestra. He has given over 100 concerts in the U.S. and China, from Carnegie Hall, Boston Sym- phony Hall, Jordan Hall, to Sanders The- atre. At 11, he performed Chopin’s Concerto No. 2 with the Quincy Sym- phony Orchestra, and last year he debuted with the Boston Pops performing Prokofiev’s Concerto No. 3. Kadar won first prize in the Chopin International Piano Competition in Hartford, with prizes for the Best Bach Performance and the Best Chopin Performance, Harvard Musical Association High School Achievement Award and the Steinway Society of Massachusetts piano competi- tion. He has been a recipient of the Chopin Foundation of the United States Scholarship and has won many Young Artist Competitions, including the Boston Civic, Boston Pops, Lowell, Metrowest, Quincy, and Rivers Young Artist Compe- titions. Kadar has performed on NPR’s From the Top, and in 2013 released his first album for Naxos Records.
