Sen. Borrello honors retired Brigadier Gen. Austin in Veterans Hall of Fame celebration CUBA — Sen. George Borrello joined retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Arthur G. Austin Jr., along with his family, friends, fellow veterans and area leaders to honor him Saturday as the 57th Senate District’s 2025 inductee into the New York State Senate Veterans’ Hall of Fame. The program celebrated a life of service that began nearly five decades ago and has continued well beyond Austin’s military retirement. The ceremony concluded with a luncheon at Moonwinks
Restaurant and Lounge highlighting cuisines from the regions where he served — including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, New Orleans, La., Japan and the Middle East — a nod to his diverse deployments and the cultures he experienced in uniform. “Arthur Austin has worn our nation’s uniform with distinction and, in retirement, has continued to wear the mantle of service with the same pride and purpose,” Borrello said. “From commanding troops in wartime to mentoring veterans here
at home, his life’s work reflects an unwavering devotion to others. Today is about saying ‘thank you’ for his courage, his leadership, and the example he sets for all of us.” Austin, who gdrew up in Detroit, began his service in 1977 as a Military Police soldier in the Michigan Army National Guard. After earning his commission from Michigan State University in 1982, he rose through the ranks in the U.S. Army, culminating Brigadier Gen. Austin continued on PAGE 4

ALFRED — State University of New York Chancellor John B. King Jr. joined Alfred State College and local officials at a ribbon-cutting event at the historic Collegiate Restaurant. “Since 1924, The Collegiate has been a beloved attraction in Alfred,” said Alfred State’s president, Dr. Steven Mauro. “The Ninos family has welcomed generations of visitors to this restaurant with warmth, flavor, and community spirit and we are grateful to them for providing the opportunity to continue this tradition.” Affectionately known as “The Jet,” the restaurant will also be a
“learning lab” that will extend education and student opportunities beyond the classroom and into the real-world. In addition to allowing for expansion of our Culinary Arts program, the location will also serve as a hub for internships for all our academic programs, where students in business, marketing, architecture, science or the trades will have opportunities to learn about running a business or maintaining a facility. Alfred State plans to expand the campus food pantry into the restaurant as well. In addition to providing shelved goods to our students in need, they also can have
a warm meal when the need arises. “It is especially wonderful to be at a ribbon cutting that perfectly reflects our commitment at SUNY to internships and on-the-job training for all of our students,” King said. “One of our goals at SUNY is to make sure that every undergraduate has an internship experience. “Hands-on learning is such a valuable part of a student’s higher education experience, and we want to make sure that students not only graduate with a meaningful degree or credential, but actually ready Alfred State Ribbon-Cutting continued on PAGE 4
