VILLAGE PARK , ELLICOTTVILLE , NY

After the planning and coordination that Max Muscato and the rest of the Rock Autism board members have done over the past several months, there’s one thing Muscato said he is looking forward to most: seeing his brother play drums.

His brother, Sonny, who has autism, will join Max on stage during the Rock Autism Music Festival, which will feature 10 bands on Saturday at the Village Park on Fillmore Drive in Ellicottville.

“The one thing I am really excited for is to see my brother’s face,” said Muscato. “If there are 1,000 people in the crowd and they are up against the stage, I’m really pumped to see his face when he walks out and how surprised he is going to be.”

The bands, most of which are based in Buffalo, will perform all day at the festival, the first major event for Rock Autism, a not-for-profit organization that began last autumn. Proceeds from the event will support the music and arts programs at People Inc., The Summit Center and Autism Services of Western New York.

The expansion of such programs for individuals with autism is important, Muscato said, because often as such individuals grow there are fewer groups looking out for their well-being.

“There is a serious talent with a lot of these individuals,” he said. “What happens to them is they don’t have the organizations backing them and nobody really helps out — that’s what happened to my brother.”

Outdoor things to do this weekend

By Alicia Dziak

If you’re looking to spend Labor Day weekend outdoors, why not check out one of the many area state parks, where there’s always something going on!

1. SUMMER FAREWELL FESTIVAL AT LETCHWORTH STATE PARK Say farewell to summer at Letchworth State Park! Listen to music at its best with live bands, family activities food and great fireworks show. The fun takes place from 3 to 9:30 p.m. and the fireworks display is at Highbanks Recreation Area.

2. WINTER OLYMPICS AT LAKE ERIE STATE PARK Stop by the Rec Hall at Lake Erie State Park (5905 Lake Road in Brockton) from 2 to 4 p.m. for an exciting and educational program. Learn about the properties of water while playing fun and interactive games. Program is free to the public.

3. BEACH SUNSET PHOTOGRAPHY WALK AT EVANGOLA STATE PARK Join a park naturalist for a leisurely walk along the picturesque Lake Erie shoreline at Evangola State Park. Bring a camera to capture the moment! For information and registration, call (716) 549-1050.

4. FIREWORKS AT NIAGARA FALLS STATE PARK There’s nothing quite like watching fireworks over Niagara Falls — and you can experience the magic for yourself with fireworks shows all summer long! Shows begin at 10 p.m. Explore all activities in the park before the evening show with the Discovery Pass!

5. GUIDED HIKES & TALKS AT ALLEGANY STATE PARK On Saturday, explore the Summit Firetower from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Stop by the tower (just a short walk from the Art Roscoe Crosscountry ski area parking lot) and learn about this gem with so much history.

In 1926, the first of three 60-foot steel fire towers was erected in Allegany State Park. Located at the summit area on the former Parker property on South Mountain at an elevation of 2,365 feet and 1,000 feet above Red House Lake, the Summit Fire Tower gave visitors a spectacular view of the surrounding area.

At the top, visitors were greeted by friendly fire wardens who proudly showed off their maps and fire locating equipment. A card was awarded to visitors which said, “I climbed the 100 steps of the Allegany State Park Summit Fire Tower.”

Abandoned in the early 1970s and replaced by aerial surveillance, only the skeletal frame of the tower remained. In 1999, the Allegany State Park Fire Tower Restoration Committee was formed and over the next few years they restored the tower to allow visitors the opportunity to climb the tower once again.

The Allegany State Park Historical Society and the Friends of Allegany State Park will host walks on the weekends for park visitors to discover the Summit Fire Tower.

On Sept. 2, learn about the Stone Tower. In June of 1933, Company 249 of the Civilian Conservation Corps (part of FDR’s New Deal) arrived at Allegany State Park tasked with constructing a stone observation tower on the summit of a hill. The men commenced the Stone Tower in October 1933. Their campsite of World War I surplus tents was located just below where the tower now stands.

Stone Tower includes a winding staircase leading up to the top deck, which consisted of wooden guardrails. The stone used to build the tower was all collected and cut in Allegany State Park. The octagonal shape tower stands at an elevation of 2,250 feet and overlooks Salamanca to the North and Red House Lake to the South. A carving of an arrow pointing north was etched in the center of its upper deck.

September

Continued from front page Once you’re done with the course, dinner will be served at Holiday Valley’s Main Lodge. Sign up fees include green fees, cart, dinner and two drinks compliments of Holiday Valley Food Service.

Ellicottville Chamber members can participate for $50 a person and nonmembers for $55.

Night Lights at Griffis Sculpture Park is back starting Sept. 12. The park will once again be transformed with creative lighting, illuminating the trails and some sculptures with colorful and theatrical lighting, creating an almost surreal experience. You will have four weeks to experience this amazing event, which runs through Oct. 8.

Ellicottville’s favorite, Rock ‘n’ Roll Weekend is Sept. 14-16. The fun kicks off Friday evening with lots of live entertainment in all of the local hot spots, and continues into Saturday as guests enjoy Ellicottville’s eclectic shops and outstanding restaurants and more performances by regional musicians throughout the Village. On Sunday, the show everyone enjoys is back for its 19th year… the Classic Car Show,

set up in the heart of the village from 12-5 p.m.

Ellicottville is proud to showcase your cars, trucks, and rods all set up in class order to be judged by a panel of experienced car enthusiasts with awards in each class.

Mark your calendar for Sept. 15, when Pumpkinville opens for its 50th season.

Pumpkinville, located at 4844 Sugartown Road in Great Valley, is a one-stop shop for fall fun, including numerous attractions, like hay rides and Jumpin’ Pillows, loads of food, apples, pumpkins and so much more.

This year’s new projects include a hill with multiple children’s slides, a new section called the Barnyard Ball Zone, which features football, baseball and basketball-sized holes in a customized wall made to look like a cornfield, and a new restroom facility that replaces numerous portables. This year’s corn maze will feature a tribute to Pumpkinville’s 50th year of making memories and family traditions. For more info, visit www. pumpkinville.com.

On Sept. 22 and

23, Ellicottville will host the second annual Ellicottville Lacrosse Festival, and welcome hundreds of competitors from all over. For more info, visit ellicottvillelacrosse.com.

National Alpaca Farm Days are held every fall, and this year’s event is Sept. 29-30. Be sure to visit several of the local alpaca farms, where you can meet a soft and gentle alpaca, learn about their products, and visit the gift shop too! Alpaca farms nationwide will open their farms to the public.

This is a great time to get out to alpaca farms and learn about alpacas, their background, their fleece and what can be done with it, the products the fleece makes, the tax benefits to owning alpacas, costs of raising alpacas, and of course, the babies or crias as they are called.

Most farms will be open between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.

This month is about the changing of the seasons, the end of summer fun and the beginning of fall excitement. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy every moment and make this a September to remember!

Holiday Valley Pools Open Through Labor Day

By Alicia Dziak

Make a splash this weekend at the Holiday Valley pool complex! It’s your last chance of the season, as the pools are only open only through Labor Day. The pool complex includes three pools—a lap pool, a kiddie pool and an activity pool featuring a slide and diving board.

In addition, many deck games are set up for guests’ entertainment, including giant Jenga, Cornhole, table tennis and a putting green.

The Cabana bar serves up refreshing cocktails and mocktails to enjoy poolside and really make you feel like you’re on vacation!

Holiday Valley’s marketing director Jane Eshbaugh said that the last Ducky Derby will take place on Monday, Sept.

3 at 3 p.m. (In case you aren’t familiar with this, you “buy” a duck. Guests then sit on the edge of the activity pool and splash, all the ducks are released at the

top of the slide, then “race” down the slide and across the pool. The owner of the winning duck receives a prize.)

In addition, if anyone is looking for a “last hurrah” of the summer, they can schedule a pool party during the normal operating hours of 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. There’s a minimum of 10 people and the cost is $5 per child age 12 and under, $8 per adult. To reserve a pool party, call 6993909.

Eshbaugh added that, “The pool food and beverage service will be providing yummy snacks like John Harvard’s award winning mahimahi fish tacos and refreshing drinks all weekend. You’ll feel like you’re on a cruise as the servers deliver your treat right to your lounge chair!”

“We are sad to see the last days for the pools over Labor Day weekend, but excited because that means ski season is not far away!” said Eshbaugh.

ECS NEWS & SPORTS Times Are a Changin’ at ECS

By Louisa Benatovich ECS Student Reporter

From Bob Dylan to David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, and even Taylor Swift, everyone sings about change.

There’s something mysteriously delicious about it: the promise of the new, the readjustment of oneself.

Some crave change, constantly seeking an escape from monotony, while others are thrust into it, unwilling and scared. The 14 years spent in grade school house some of the greatest changes in a young person’s life. As adults, children, mortgages, and careers plague the mind, but as middle schoolers, it’s constant self-hatred. For students, the changes that occur within Ellicottville’s walls shape the person they will become. As simple and tiny as a fourth grader’s problems may seem to you, to them, it’s their entire existence. In this back-to-school issue, let this article be a reminder to all about how important a school experience is in shaping a life.

The first day of school for pre-K marks the biggest change of these kids’ young lives. Amid the tears and runny noses, pre-K is a child’s first experience in the delicate web of school social dynamic.

Halfway through their year of half-days and Goldfish crackers, the food chain has been set up.

Everyone knows who the coolest kid is. The struggle for this spot continues throughout elementary school. Fourth grade rolls around and 9-year-olds begin dating. A circle of 10 people interchange partners, taking turns sitting together in cafeterias and classes, being each other’s boyfriend and girlfriend. This will never stop until graduation.

Sixth grade, for non-ECS goers, is the worst year of life. Thrust from peaceful fifth grade to a completely separate middle-school, sixth graders are the bottom of the heap.

At ECS, sixth graders are handheld, experiencing half the year as an elementary student and half as a middle-schooler. This experience is why many choose ECS, and, though some may argue, I believe it is necessary.

Sixth grade is when you decide who you want to be. Cliques are formed that never really change: the popular kids, nerds, geeks, weird kids. ECS likes to think these don’t exist, and to an extent, they’re right. The lines of social groups are blurred simply because everyone

By Deb Everts

knows each other. In sixth grade, bodies begin to change, social media is introduced, and school gets hard.

Children today have to keep up appearances at school and online.

How is a 12-year-old supposed to convince 100 followers of who they are when they don’t even know themselves?

This plight follows into middle school. When I arrived at ECS in seventh grade, everyone had already dated each other…twice. Girls, insecure and craving attention from boys, wore American Eagle and Hollister. They tried to dress older than they were, providing glimpses of stomachs and sporting shoulderbaring shirts. Everyone was just so loud. Now I understand that middleschoolers are competing to exist.

They don’t feel like they matter and are searching for someone that thinks they do. Girls want to feel beautiful and wanted; boys want to feel strong and athletic. It is pure chaos.

Freshman year is a promise of greater things, and for many, it is.

For better or worse, students section themselves off with older peers, merging seamlessly into the preformed lunch table groups, taking the seniors’ places. Here, generally three paths are taken: 1) the road to danger laced with drugs, parties, and alcohol; 2) the statics—those who peopleplease, crave attention, and go absolutely nowhere; 3) those who use their high

school experience as a spring board to higher education, the amazing athletes, the most annoying in class, the “try-hards.”

To adults reading this, you laugh.

High school hasn’t changed, you say.

In this age of Finstas, Snap streaks, and constant exposure, nothing is the same. Everything is changing every second. Girls spend hours scrolling through screens, hating themselves, wanting attention. Boys make unwanted advances through DMs, searching for girls to make them feel like the men they aren’t. No one is safe. No one is ever truly alone. It sounds like the tagline for a horror movie, and, in reality, it is. High school can be like all four Purge movies combined.

High school can also be a very wonderful four years. There are clubs to join, sports to play, and life-long friends to make. There is so much to learn and understand.

Futures are dreamed and achieved.

Tests are taken, essays written, and colleges applied to. Memories are made, and, a benefit of social media, are documented for all eternity. That being said, though high-school can be more than bearable, it cannot become the best years of your life.

High school exists to give hope to the poor middle schoolers, promising them that life can be better.

As we ready for Sept. 5, let’s take a page from the late/great David Bowie’s book. “Time to face the strange changes” —whatever they may be.

Character Awards to Be Given Away at ECS

By Caitlin Croft

The Aug. 28 meeting of the Ellicottville Central School Board opened with the approval to adopt the agenda; there was a second and ayes carried. Next there was a motion to enter executive session for one personnel item; a second and ayes carried.

Superintendent’s Report with Robert Miller A State Audit is set to commence next week.

This audit happens every five years and is about a 4-6 month process. There will be two auditors using space in the school for about two months and then to process all of the information collected takes about 2-4 months.

Everyone is very busy with getting ready for back to school and preparations are well underway. The Emergency Procedure has been finalized and packets will be distributed to every classroom. There will also be an informational session

Familiar Face is New Principal at ECS Elementary

on the first day back for personnel.

MS/HS Principal Report with Erich Ploetz: Ploetz started out with thanking a few members of the personnel for their hard work in the busy lead up to school being back in session. This included the custodial staff and Tammy Auge. Ploetz explained about two new programs he has rolled out; the first is a target program.

For each student Ploetz has projected what they, based on past performance and knowledge of the student, should score in each class. Ploetz feels this will help students remain accountable by setting expectations right off the bat. There has been some feedback from some students wishing their projections were actually higher. To this, he advised that with a conversation he will be will to up any targets but there will be no lowering of the bar once it is set. Last, the school

has partnered with the Character Counsel of WNY and they will be giving out monthly character awards based on the criteria set by the Character Counsel.

To make the award even sweeter Holiday Valley has donated over $1,000 in Sky High Climbing Forest gift cards to give to the recipient.

The boys varsity soccer team will de-merge with West Valley for the 2018 season. There is not one athlete from West Valley participating and therefore for playoffs the team will be able to compete in the “D” class as opposed to the “C” class. There was much discussion back and forth regarding the topic. The athletic merge agreement is over at the end of the 2018-19 school year and some think ECS should just hold tight until that is discussed/negotiated. It was also mentioned that this isn’t fair to the other sports teams who have to play in the “C” class. It

was noted that the board must approve a merge but they cannot stop a de-merge and only give their input. Despite the reservations, the school will move forward with the de-merge.

There was a motion to approve William Delity as a sexual harassment officer for the district and School Safety Team; there was a second and ayes carried.

There was a motion to approve the changes to the Code of Conduct and Discipline Code; a second and ayes carried. There was a motion to approve the list of movies to be shown in the “History in Movies” class; a second and ayes carried.

Personnel There was a motion to approve Aimee Kilby to the position of school business executive; a second and ayes carried.

There was a motion to approve Regina Vandenburgh to the substitute teacher aide position; a second and ayes carried. There was a motion to approve the prorated salary for William Delity of $93,500 for the 2018-19 school year; a second and ayes carried.

There was a motion to go into a second executive session; a second and ayes carried.

There was a motion to adjourn the meeting; a second and ayes carried.

When school starts up again next month, elementary students at Ellicottville Central School will see the familiar face of their former fourth grade teacher, William Delity, at the helm as their new principal and curriculum coordinator.

After the departure of Connie Poulin, former elementary principal who recently relocated with her family, the board appointed Delity to the position at the Aug. 14 board of education (BOE) meeting, with a start date of Aug. 15.

“Ellicottville Central School advertised the position as ‘Elementary Principal/Curriculum Coordinator,’ so I applied and went through two rounds of interviews,” Delity said. “The first was an Interviewing Committee made up of teachers and staff and then a final interview with Mr. Miller, ECS Superintendent.”

Delity said he’s excited about the opportunity to work with the district’s outstanding families, board of education, administration, staff and teachers to help their most precious asset: the students of ECS. According to Delity, he’s been working in the school system the last 28 years as an elementary classroom teacher, coach, district resident, volunteer William Delity and parent. He started his career in education when he was hired by the school in 1990 as a fifth grade teacher, then moved to the fourth grade eight years later. He has also coached football, basketball, baseball and softball at ECS and was a volunteer coach in Little League Football during the early part of his career.

Delity said he came up with this year’s motto, “Eagle Strong – The Power of the Flight!”

He said he came up with it as part of his elementary school platform of building a culture of fun, achievement and engagement for ECS students and staff.

“The idea of the ‘Eagle Strong’ relates to our goal of our learning and achieving with each other as one united elementary family. In other words, building meaningful relationships with each other,” he said. “‘The Power of the Flight’ relates to our goal of growth and perseverance through hard work.”

Delity and his wife, Sharon, have lived in Great Valley for the last 21 years. She’s a third grade teacher for the Cattaraugus-Little Valley Central School District.

They have six children: two in college, one a Marinereservist and three in high school at ECS. A graduate of Ellicottville Central School in 1985, Delity grew up on Mill Street in the village with his two older brothers, Dan and Steve, the sons of Adam and Norma Delity. He said his 85-year old father, a German Immigrant who arrived in 1950, is his hero and still lives on Mill Street.

“He instilled in me early in life the value of a hard work ethic and treating people with respect,” he said.

“He was the manufacturing foreman for the old AVM/ Signore Plant on Jefferson Street in Ellicottville for over 40 years.”

Delity said he applied, interviewed and accepted the offer to become the next elementary principal/ curriculum coordinator because of the special and unique bond the ECS family has cultivated over the years. He said when he was first hired as an ECS teacher, he had a wonderful network of people that helped him become a better educator and, for that matter, a better person.

“We have something special at ECS. We really are family,” he said. “I want the opportunity to help continue that tradition from a leadership perspective and help our students learn the value of work hard, achievement and happiness. Our ECS family works tirelessly to ensure student success.”

Anyone with questions, comments, suggestions or concerns should feel free to contact Delity at 699-2318, or email him at bdelity@eville.wnyric.org.

This past week, the sign outside St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Ellicottville has read "Wherever U Read This Remember - God Loves U.” The sign, an Ellicottville fixture for 35 years, will come out for a week to advertise monthly spaghetti dinners, then be stored until the next dinner or event. The sign is violation of the building code which limits properties to a single sign. Photo by Rick Miller.

After 35 Years, St. Paul’s Church Sign Will Be Limited

By Rick Miller

The sign outside St. Paul’s Lutheran Church on Route 219 started as a temporary sign — 35 years ago.

Its messages have conveyed news about the next spaghetti dinner, poked fun at the Patriots and generally lifted the spirits of passersby.

At the end of the month, the sign will be retired under an agreement between church officials and the Ellicottville building code enforcement officer.

“We’ve had a couple of those (messages) go viral and go all over the country,” the Rev. Daniel Buringrud, St. Paul’s pastor, said Friday.

One of those messages: “Please God — Anybody but the Patriots.” was especially uplifting to Western New York Bills fans.

Another said: “God Help Me To Be The Person My Dog Thinks I Am.” Still another: “God Loves You More Than Kanye Loves Kanye.”

“It’s nice to put out something to make you smile,” Buringrud said.

Building Code Enforcement Officer Kelly Fredrickson notified the church that the temporary sign did not conform to the building code which limits properties to one sign. The church could apply to the Town Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance, he told church officials.

“Kelly has been working with us,” Buringrud said. “We don’t have a beef with him or anyone else. We want to be good citizens. We want to help.”

Then the sign changed two weeks ago to read: “After 35 years EVL Says Sign Must Go. This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.”

That set off a flurry of comments under a picture of the sign on the church’s Facebook page, including one proposing that a “#savethesign” begin. Some examples: • … “a sign like that has been out there since I was in middle school and now they have a problem with it.... Grrrr.”

• “This has been there forever it seems like. I’ve been going to this church since I was little and the sign never bothered before and still doesn't bother.”

• “The code says each business is allowed 1 permanent sign so that the property doesn’t become cluttered.”

• “That's just ridiculous! We love your messages on the sign. All positive!”

• “Where is the petition to save the sign?”

• “Seriously?? This was the highlight of my day everytime I drove through there.

That's awful!”

Supervisor Matthew McAndrew said the agreement to retire the sign wasn’t much of a story.

“It’s been a temporary sign for years,” he said, adding the town board had nothing to do with it.

When the Zoning Board of Appeals recently denied a request for a variance for an additional nearby sign, Fredrickson looked into the church’s iconic sign. It did not conform to the building code.

The church negotiated for the opportunity to put the sign up for church events such as their monthly spaghetti dinner, a popular fundraiser. The agreement calls for the sign to be up for seven days prior to an church event and taken down the following day.

“We’re going to roll out the sign when we have something going on,” Buringrud told the Olean Times Herald on Friday.

“We may try to sneak in a message, too.

We’re cooperating with the town, trying to work together.”

The church has looked into installing a modern LED sign, but the $20,000 to $25,000 price is out of reach, Buringrud said.

While it might look like the original sign, the pastor said the old sign was destroyed three years ago when a driver struck it with their car. The insurance company paid for a new, used sign that “looks exactly like the old one,” Buringrud said.

With the sign coming down at the end of the month, Buringrud said, “We’re trying to make the last few signs be positive and lift spirits.”

Last week it was changed to read: “Wherever U Read This Remember — God Loves U.” This week there was another BillsPatriots themed message.

Chautauqua Institution Leader to Give Keynote at Nonprofit Networking Day

Michael Hill, president of the Chautauqua Institution, will deliver the keynote address at the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation’s eighth annual Nonprofit Networking Day on Oct. 17.

“It takes a truly special kind of leadership to continue marching an over 100-year-old nonprofit so steeped in tradition into the future,” said CRCF Executive Director Karen Niemic Buchheit. “And that is exactly what Michael Hill has done as president of the Chautauqua Institution. We are blessed to have him as the 2018 Nonprofit Networking Day keynote speaker.”

Nonprofit Networking Day brings together nonprofit organizations’ staff, board and volunteers for an opportunity to collaborate, learn and network.

Hill will draw on his background in communications, branding, nonprofit leadership, fundraising and stewardship to arm attendees with strategies for vitality and success at the conference which take place on the St. Bonaventure University campus.

In his talk titled “Nonprofit Crystal Ball: What does the future hold?” Hill will discuss the diversity imperative for nonprofits, guest relations and service as a nonprofit niche and other strategies.

The Chautauqua Institution, a 146-year old lakeside community with religious roots, is known for hosting leisurely and educational activities. It established itself as a national forum for open discussion of public issues, international relations, literature and science well before the turn of the 20th century.

Since beginning his duties in January 2017, Hill oversaw the completion of a $41.5 million renovation project at the Chautauqua Amphitheater; began expanding the organization’s traditionally summer-season programming to take place

year-round; and expanded the institution’s involvement with traditional and national partners — all while keeping intact the identity of the Chautauqua community.

“Hill has played key roles in some of the nation’s largest nonprofits and has brought that leadership back to Chautauqua,” Buchheit said. “He has been able to preserve the institute’s status as a gem here in Western New York, but he has also driven the institute to expand its leadership in thought and civil dialogue outside of the borders of Western New York with a lot of success.”

Hill’s keynote appearance will be a homecoming of sorts as he once served as executive director of the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure University, and currently serves on the university’s board of trustees.

Hill holds a B.A. in journalism from St. Bonaventure and an M.A. in arts and cultural management from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota.

Nonprofit Networking Day also will include breakout sessions on topics such as special event planning, the impact of the new tax law on donors, mission-forward fundraising and Facebook marketing following the keynote.

The day will begin with registration at 8 a.m. and include a noon networking luncheon. This year two free post-event workshops will be available to attendees so they may get the most networking and learning possible out of the day.

Registration is now open. To register, visit cattfoundation.org/NND. Contact the Foundation at 301-2723 with any further questions.

St. Bonaventure University and the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce are co-sponsors for the event.

Health & Fitness:

Stay Hydrated

By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer

With the summer heat still beating down on us, it’s really important to make sure you stay hydrated.

Our bodies are over two-thirds water, which means if we do not supply a constant source of water to our bodies, then transporting all the nutrients, hormones and even wastes through our bodies becomes difficult.

Dehydration can occur without you even knowing it. For instance, if you feel thirsty, you are already on your way to being dehydrated. So, it’s important to avoid dehydration, an often-overlooked aspect of disease.

As Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj says, in his book, Your Bodies Many Cries for Water, “You’re not sick, you’re thirsty!” Most of us are in a constant state of dehydration and we don’t even know it.

Here are some potentially surprising things you need to know about staying hydrated. Keep them in mind as the temperature rises.

Thirst pains are real. Yes, we have hunger pains, but did you know that we also have thirst pains? Often, we can’t rely on a dry mouth to tell us that we need a little more H2O. Chronic joint pain, headaches and gastric ulcers can often spell d-e-h-y-d-r-a-t-i-o-n.

Water is needed to carry acidic waste away from cells, and when we’re dehydrated, these wastes don’t get carried away, leading to our nerves interpreting the acidic waste as pain.

If you’re tired, it may be dehydration. One study conducted

by Loughborough University found that a mere 5 percent drop in water levels in the body can cause a 25-30 percent loss in energy. Even a 3 percent drop can cause fuzzy thinking, “brain fog” and a slower metabolism. Another study conducted

by University of Connecticut’s Human Performance Laboratory found that even a 1.5 percent water loss led to reduced cognitive function, headaches and fatigue in 25 women and 26 men.

Allergies and asthma can be linked to dehydration. Dr. Batmanghelidj found that when the body is dehydrated, histamine begins to ration water, which in turn increases histamine and the allergic response and lowered immunity. Chronic dehydration triggers a histamine release in asthma sufferers, which leads to inflammation and bronchial constriction.

So how much water does a person need per day? It’s an individual thing, as water requirements vary from person to person. The amount of water we need depends on a number of factors, including our size, activity level, stress level, the climate or temperature and our diet. A good basic rule of thumb is to take your body weight (in pounds) and divide it by 2.

This is the number of ounces of water that you should be drinking each day.

For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you will need 75 ounces of water per day. Divide this by 8 to get the number of 8-ounce glasses you should be drinking.

from Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties.

During the program, descendants had the opportunity to introduce themselves and share stories about their ancestors.

This year’s host was Citizens Advocating Memorial Preservation (C.A.M.P.), an organized group that owns the memorial and the attached former Board of Elections building that sits on the corner of Court and Seventh streets.

Those in attendance came from not only Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties, but also from the Buffalo, Springville, Rochester and Syracuse areas of New York state. Outof-state guests traveled from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and North Carolina.

As he has each year since the gathering’s inception in 1986, Mark H. Dunkelman of Providence, R.I., presided at the reunion. He is the great-grandson of John Langhans of Ellicottville who served as a corporal in Company H of the 154th. Langhans’ greatgreat-grandson, Scott Frank of Cheektowaga, provided music on the mandolin.

Dunkelman described what the soldiers of the 154th New York Volunteer Infantry went through. Known as the “Hardtack Regiment,” the 154th New York was a Civil War regiment raised in Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties in the summer of 1862. The regiment participated in many of the great campaigns and battles of the war, including Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Chattanooga, the Atlanta Campaign and Gen. William T. Sherman’s marches through Georgia and the Carolinas.

“They enlisted for three years, and when they mustered into the U.S. service in September 1862 the war had been raging for a year and the Union cause had not met with a lot of success,” he said.

“The first seven months in the service was spent with inconsequential marches through northern Virginia and in camp where they were already falling prey to disease. Then came the Battle of Chancellorsville where they lost 240 out of its 590 present and a 90 percent casualty rate in their first battle.”

With CAMP the focus of the 2018 reunion, the program brought remembrance of two events in the regiment’s post-war history: the dedication ceremonies for the regiment’s Gettysburg monument in July 1890 and the Memorial and

Renowned sculptor Gary Casteel of Gettysburg debuted his new miniature replica of the 154th New York’s Gettysburg monument. A portion of the proceeds will benefit C.A.M.P. Photo by Deb Everts.

Historical Building in September 1914. On both occasions, the main speaker was James S. Whipple of Salamanca, a son of First Sgt. Henry F. Whipple of Company H who was captured at Gettysburg and died as a prisoner of war at Andersonville, Ga. in 1864.

Whipple descendant Karen Whipple Thomas of Boiling Springs, S.C. read excerpts of the address given by James Whipple in Gettysburg on July 1, 1890. She is the great-great-greatgranddaughter of Sgt. Henry Whipple and great-great-grandniece of James Whipple. She later read a few excerpts from his address given at the Memorial and Historical Building in Little Valley, Sept. 7, 1914.

“One of the prime objects in erecting this edifice is to prove our appreciation of the importance of the victories won by our forefathers, and to publicly show our love and veneration for that generation of men who sacrificed all, even their lives, to preserve that which was won by their fathers at Bunker Hill, Valley Forge and Yorktown. Delayed though the act has been, we dedicate this structure with our hearts full of love and loyalty for our country, and wish it ever to stand, signifying the deathless patriotism of American soldiers and sailors and their loyalty to the Stars and Stripes,” the late James Whipple said.

Renowned sculptor Gary Casteel of Gettysburg debuted his new miniature replica of the regiment’s Gettysburg monument, located on Coster Avenue in Gettysburg. Over the next year, he has offered to donate a portion of the profits from sales of

the replicas to CAMP to do what’s necessary to maintain it, preserve it and enjoy it.

CAMP president Tom Stetz of Allegany took the podium and made heartfelt comments to the descendants of the 154th and other Civil War descendants. He said CAMP acquired ownership of the Memorial building in October 2017. There’s a lot of work to be done and CAMP members are attempting to address all the issues.

“We’ve had tremendous support from a lot of different groups but, probably, no more than the 154th,” he said with emotion. “So, it’s for people like you that we are standing here and attempting to save this Memorial building. That’s how we view it — as a memorial — it’s not just an old building. It has a reason for being and we’re going to follow through with that. Thanks for your support.”

Dunkelman has authored six books and dozens of articles on various aspects of the 154th’s history, and is creator of the mural next to the regiment’s Gettysburg monument.

The event allows him to add people to his mailing list which, he said, currently includes more than 800 descendants.

He’s happy to obtain or copy any photographs, letters or other primary sources to add to the regiment’s extensive collection at Friedsam Memorial Library at St. Bonaventure University.

Letter to the Editor Tuscan Moon 2018: It was the Best Yet!

The Rotary Club of Ellicottville’s Tuscan Moon, Gourmet Dinner Party this past Saturday was a tremendous success. Once again the weather was great, with a full “Tuscan Moon” enhancing the beautiful setting at the Cabana Pool Complex. A sellout crowd of over 160 guests reveled in the great atmosphere and excitement at the silent auction table and the food stations. Thanks to the generosity of Ellicottville merchants and the bidding guests in both the silent and live auction, Rotary will hit their goal of raising $10,000 for both Family Support and Rotary Foundation for Youth.

The Italian Menu with 17 stations was extensive, varied and mouthwatering, according to most guests surveyed. This year’s music by Party Squad Strictly Acoustic was a hit as they went table to table and ended with a sit down mini concert as the event wound down. Tom Kneeland’s dessert table was over the top with a two tier Tiramisu the crowning jewel surrounded by Watson’s Chocolates & Cupcaked creations. Many used the “to go” containers to bring home their favorite special dessert.

The Rotary Club would like to thank all of those who attended as well as our great local merchants who always support this event with generous donations. Thank you to the 16 ECS students, who along with 4 students from U Pit Bradford Hospitality Program, provided our “Face to the public” with youthful enthusiasm & charm. As always the Holiday Valley staff worked hard to make this party the most memorable yet while helping the students gain some great experiences.

Of course we want to send a special thank you to all of the area restaurants: Balloons Restaurant & Nightclub, Cupcaked, Dina’s, Ellicottville Brewing Company, Finnerty’s Tap Room, John Harvard’s Brew House, Katy’s Café & Catering, Katy’s Fly-in, Madigan’s, Monroe Street Brick & Brew, Myer’s Steak House & Inn, The Public House, The Silver Fox Steakhouse, Steelbound Brewery & Distillery, Slopeside, Tim & Bonnie’s Pizza, Tom’s Mom’s Cookies, Watson’s Chocolates & Villaggio. The outstanding specialties they created made for many smiling guests stuffed to the max! Of course our event sponsors, Sysco, US Foods, John Harvard’s, Centerplate and Holiday Valley make this Ellicottville tradition possible. Thanks to our local press for their continued support for all of our endeavors. Last but not least, thanks to the friends of Rotary who dedicate their time and energy to make this party special.

Tuscan Moon provides the funds needed to support the projects for Family Support and the Foundation for Youth throughout the year. We will release the final revenue information once the accounting is done.

Thank you Ellicottville!

Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Announces Parking Lot Paving Project

Bertrand Chaffee Hospital is announcing to its employees, patients and the general community that it will begin paving a portion of its parking lot on Wednesday, Sept. 5. The Main Street entrance and exit, main driveway, and patient parking will be affected over a period of days. This project has been in the works for several years, with donations from the community and the Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Foundation providing much of the funding for this portion of the reconstruction.

For the duration of the paving project,

the valet service will be free for all patients and visitors, and extra valet personnel will be available. Valet service is always free for individuals with temporary or permanent handicapped parking placards. A golf-cart shuttle will also be available during weekday business hours. Patients and visitors should plan for a few extra minutes to park their vehicle and make it into their appointments.

Please consider using the Mayerat Drive entrance to the hospital and nursing home campus from Newman St.

MMA, Osmonds Coming to Casino

Tickets went on sale Friday for two wildly different events at the Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in November.

The Seneca Allegany Events Center will welcome a thrilling King of the Cage MMA card on Nov. 10 at 6 p.m., and the Donny & Marie Holiday 2018 Tour on Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. Tickets went on sale Friday.

King of the Cage, the leader in casino mixed martial arts entertainment, returns to Salamanca with another slate of thrilling bouts. After performing over 500 events since its inception in 1998, including multiple successful events at both Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino and Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, King of the Cage continues to promote shows globally, including the United States and far-reaching countries such as England, Singapore, South Africa, Canada, Japan, Australia and the

Philippines. Event information will be announced soon. Tickets start at $35.

Donny & Marie Osmond have been entertaining generations of fans since bursting onto the scene in the 1970s. The legendary brother-and-sister act are back with an unforgettable new stage show featuring all of the remarkable singing and dancing for which they are known.

Donny & Marie became teenage stars, and, after guest hosting the Mike Douglas Show in 1975, they were given their own prime-time variety show. The show featured ice skating comedy skits and, of course, musical numbers. The show’s most enduring song continues to be “I’m a Little Bit Country and I’m a Little Bit Rock ‘n Roll,” which is a Donny & Marie trademark number to this day. The siblings’ undeniable chemistry still shines through today.

Tickets start at $55.

“Rescued”

by David Rosenfelt

Defense lawyer Andy Carpenter is reluctant to take on any more cases.

However, when a truck carrying over seventy dogs from the South to the rescue-friendly northeast turns up with a murdered driver, Andy can’t help but get involved.

Of course Andy is eager to help the dogs, but it’s the man accused of murder who he has a problem defending. The accused just happens to be his wife Laurie’s ex-fiancé.

Even though he acknowledges having argued with the victim, he swears that he is not a killer, and though he would rather not, Andy has to admit he believes he’s telling the truth.

For Andy, even with dozens of successful cases behind him, this case that his wife insists he take may prove to be his most difficult.

and accessories, including running boards, mud flaps and rain guards.

Bradley said her father, Timothy, and brother, Jerrid, taught her everything about the business — how to detail, how to change oil, change tires and other auto service maintenance tasks. Her brother owns and operates Village Auto Service and lets her use the space in his garage from where she runs her detailing business.

Rounding out the family is her mother, Laura, and sister, Jennah. According to her mother, Bradley has provided this service for many years and her entrepreneurial spirit was evident from a young age.

“When Molleigh was about 13 years old, she wanted to earn some money so her grandmother and other relatives, friends and neighbors brought their cars over for her to clean,” her mother said. “They used to have Jerrid do their vehicles, but then Molleigh started doing it and she did it in the front yard for $20.”

In the beginning, Bradley put a sign out for “Auto Detailing” in front of her brother’s garage because she didn’t have her business license, yet. According to Bradley, when she got her license, she called it Bradley’s Detailing, but

associate degree in business, marketing and management in May. Submitted photo. everybody thought she was cleaning houses. So, she changed it to Bradley’s Auto Detailing to make it known that she cleans cars, not houses.

Bradley said she started her licensed auto detailing business in June 2016, right after graduating from Cattaraugus-Little Valley Central School.

She said she continued her education with a full scholarship at Jamestown Business College (JBC), in Jamestown, where she received her associate degree in business, marketing and management in May. EAGER TO get back to her business, Bradley completed her degree in a year-and-a half by going to school through the summer and detailing on the side.

Since her graduation from JBC, she’s been at it fulltime and said her business is becoming more and more popular, now that people know about it.

Bradley said she went to college for marketing and advertising where she learned how to advertise her business — what to say, what not to say and how to get people’s attention. She said she learned a lot and has been able to apply it to

her business.

According to Bradley, she’s had a lot of jobs where she has worked in kitchens and other similar places, but they just weren’t for her because she’s independent and business-minded.

“I love having my own business,” she said. “I love the finished product, and I love it because I can be working, but be there for my friends and family when they need me.”

In an effort to get the word out about her new business, Bradley had a booth under the grandstand at this year’s Cattaraugus County Fair. She said a lot of potential customers took her number and she got a lot of calls from her being visible at the fair.

Having a carwash with a detail business on the side is a future possibility because her business gets bigger and bigger every year. Another possibility is a mobile auto detailing unit that comes to the customer.

She would like to have a 4-by-8-foot utility trailer that would hold her supplies, so she could go to other places and do onsite detailing, especially at car dealerships. She’s also looking into detailing company vehicle fleets on a monthly or bimonthly basis.

Bradley said she runs specials from time to time and gives her loyal customers discount coupons. She also does a lot of giveaways on Facebook, so if people “like” and “share,” they can get a free wash and wax.

“The majority of the time that’s where I get my business, so I always try to let people know what I have to offer on Facebook,” she said. “I also have gift certificates available that make a great gift.”

Business hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

If necessary, Bradley occasionally schedules appointments on weekends and is willing to work with anyone’s schedule. If customers need their car during the day, she will detail the vehicle at their convenience.

Bradley’s Auto Detailing is located at 9316 New Albion Road, Cattaraugus.

To find out more about the business or to schedule an appointment for a detail or other service, call Bradley at 801-5118. She accepts most credit cards and debit cards. Find Bradley’s Auto Detailing on Facebook where there are special offers and discounts.

Zoar Valley is Beautiful, But Dangerous

By Rick Miller

The Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area — nearly 3,000 acres of state-owned land straddling Cattaraugus Creek — is a gorgeous natural attraction.

There are shale cliffs rising up to 400 feet above the creek along the Zoar Valley Gorge separating Cattaraugus and Erie Counties.

There are also waterfalls along both the Zoar Valley Gorge and the South Branch of Cattaraugus Creek.

Both are beautiful sites where individuals have fallen to their deaths.

The latest Zoar Valley death came in late July when a town of Boston man, who was a 2017 graduate of Hamburg High School, slipped and fell while climbing a waterfall to get a photo.

Before him, in August 2017, a married couple fell to their deaths while hiking along the

gorge. Their 4-year-old son was found severely injured with them, and their 7-year-old son was found wandering the park, also injured.

State Department of Environmental Conservation officers patrol the gorge on a regular basis, warning the thousands of annual visitors when they break the rules. A few rules to be aware of are that there is no alcohol allowed, no glass bottles and no fires.

Drowning is another possibility in the fast-moving waters of Cattaraugus Creek and the South Branch. Swimming is prohibited in the Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area, but the rule is often ignored during hot summer days.

Another issue on the South Branch is trespassing on neighboring property owned by The Nature Conservancy and includes the “Big Falls,” as they are called. It is an area that has registered a number of injuries

and deaths over the years.

William Cain of Gowanda has served for more than a decade as a volunteer for The Nature Conservancy along the South Branch, advising visitors where the state’s property ends and The Nature Conservancy property begins.

The Nature Conservancy bought several properties along the South Branch from landowners who grew tired of littering and vandalism on their property.

Cain likes to think that he and the state DEC officers who have prevented people from heading too far upstream from the Forty Road parking lot on the South Branch have helped saved some lives.

The state DEC officers, state police and Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office deputies mount occasional mass arrests of trespassers on the South Branch.

The trespassing fine in Persia Town Court is usually $250.

Allegany State Park to Observe National Public Lands Day on Sept. 22 Allegany State Park will again celebrate National Public Lands Day on Sept. 22 on the Red House side of the park.

Check-in and registration will be held from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Red House Picnic Shelter.

Service projects will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., followed by a chicken barbecue for a nominal fee at the Red House picnic area at 4 p.m.

The event will be held rain or shine. Participants are asked to come dressed for the weather and can expect to get dirty.

Attendees are asked to pre-register by Sept. 17 by contacting the Environmental Education and Recreation Department at 354-9101, ext. 236. Walk-in volunteers will be accepted on the day of the event.

Catholic Charities to Phase Out Foster Care and Adoption Services

Catholic Charities of Buffalo has begun the process to phase out current foster care and adoption services under a contract with the Erie County Department of Social Services (DSS).

The contract is set to expire in March 2019.

Foster care and adoption services are under the authority of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS).

Because Catholic Charities cannot simultaneously comply with state regulations and conform to the teaching of the Catholic Church on the nature of marriage, Catholic Charities will discontinue foster care and adoption services.

As an organization sponsored by the Diocese of Buffalo, Catholic Charities cannot uphold the requirement that contracting agencies allow same-sex couples to foster and adopt children.

The teaching and position of the Roman Catholic Church throughout the world recognizes marriage only as a union between a woman and a man.

“It is with deep sadness we

acknowledge that the legacy of the high quality, exceptional services which our staff provides to children and families through foster care and adoption will be lost,” said Dennis C. Walczyk, Catholic Charities chief executive officer. “We are working with the state OCFS and Erie County DSS to support a smooth transition for children in foster care and foster parents, as well as those who have submitted applications to provide foster care or seek adoption.”

The program currently includes 55 certified foster homes, with 34 children in care in 24 homes. Catholic Charities facilitates an average of five adoptions per year, the majority of which are cases in which children are released from foster care for adoption.

Adoption was one of several services on which Catholic Charities was founded nearly 95 years ago.

Similarly, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Boston stopped providing adoption services in March 2006 and Catholic Charities’ organizations across the State of Illinois followed with the same decision in November 2011.

Besides saving lives and preventing serious injuries, Cain noted that the effort has kept volunteer firefighters and special ropes teams from having to mount rescue efforts as often.

The Nature Conservancy property begins about 900 feet upstream from the former Forty Road bridge that once spanned the South Branch.

Cain said that before the section of the creek was closed, rescue parties had to be called almost weekly during the summer months for accidents.

“We get people coming here from all over,” Cain said, adding Zoar Valley’s attractions are all over the internet on Facebook, YouTube and web pages.

He said visitors usually want to go to the falls, two miles from the parking lot. Most of the injuries and deaths involved people 25 and younger.

Cain walks up to people heading upstream on the South Branch and explains that they

are headed toward private property. Many turn back. Some don’t. To Cain it’s a means of preventing the need for a rescue that invariably puts other lives at risk.

Cain and other volunteers hand out literature and tell them where the boundary is and where it’s safer to go. They have no arrest powers.

A Zoar Valley Task Force, made up of volunteer firefighters and law enforcement was established by State Sen. Catharine Young, R-Olean, prior to the campaign to restrict access to the upper portion of the South Branch.

“We have to be able to control access,” Cain said. “The DEC, Sen. Cathy Young and local firemen like it because it has eliminated many accidents and emergency calls.”

Stay on trails and away from the edge of cliffs and use common sense for a fun, but safe visit to Zoar Valley, he advised.

Daniel J. MacLaughlin of Randolph (right), who serves as a U.S. Army Reserve Ambassador, received the Public Service Commendation Medal from Major General Troy D.

Army Reserve Ambassador from Randolph Receives Public Service Award U.S. Army Reserve Ambassador Daniel J. MacLaughlin received the Public Service Commendation Medal from Major General Troy D. Kok, commanding general of the U.S. Army Reserve’s 99th Readiness Division, during a ceremony Aug. 3 on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. The Public Service Commendation Medal is the fourth highest public service decoration the United States Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian, ranking directly below the Meritorious Public Service Medal.

The Army Reserve Ambassador Program was established in 1998 to promote awareness of the Army Reserve, its goals and objectives, and to serve as a vital bridge in our states and communities to further educate and garner support for the Army Reserve.

The function of the ambassador is similar to that of civilian aides to the Secretary of the Army, and carries a protocol status equivalent of a major general that is a key means by which ambassadors are able to effectively execute their responsibilities.

Ambassadors are special government employees who represent the Chief of the Army Reserve without salary, wages or related benefits.

Ambassadors provide community outreach assistance to Army Reserve

members/families, other military personnel/families as needed, and provide feedback on plans, programs and needs to the commander of the Army Reserve, the Readiness Division commander and to local Army Reserve commanders.

Additionally, ambassadors build relationships and strive to improve the understanding and knowledge of the Army Reserve within the business and social sectors of communities across America. They help to educate the public, community leaders and congressional staff offices about the capabilities and values of the Army Reserve and the soldiers who live and work in their communities. They establish open lines of communication with the local communities; and they work to support recruiting efforts by assisting community and business leaders in recognizing that the Army Reserve strengthens the soldiers, the community and the nation.

While not all ambassadors have military experience, many are retired officers or senior non-commissioned officers who wish to remain engaged in military affairs. Each state and territory has at least one Army Reserve ambassador.

How to Plant a Tree for Successful Growth

Why plant trees?

There are plenty of reasons to plant trees.

Trees provide a natural form of shade, reducing air temperature by blocking the sun’s rays. This can reduce reliance on air conditioning systems and make it more comfortable to spend time outdoors during the summer.

North Carolina State University College of Agriculture & Life Sciences says trees absorb and block noise and reduce glare.

They also can trap dust, pollen and smoke. Trees also absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses from the air. One large tree can supply a day’s worth of oxygen for as many as four people, while also storing 13 pounds of carbon per year.

Getting started Visit a garden center or nursery and select a tree that will be hardy in your planting zone. Choosing native trees can increases the likelihood that the new tree will adapt to its

surroundings. Also, inspect trees to determine if they’re healthy before taking them home. Look for evidence of root girdling, which occurs when the roots circle around the perimeter of the container and surround the trunk. Trees should not have any dead or dormant branches.

The DIY Network suggests locating the tree where it can thrive. This means selecting a spot that can make it easier for the tree to grow tall and wide.

Avoid planting near the house, where roots can crack concrete or asphalt, and always plant away from underground pipes.

Planting the tree Now it is time to amend the soil. It’s not enough to enrich only the soil in the hole where the tree will be placed. Move out into a circular area beyond where the roots will start so that roots can expand and properly anchor the tree.

The next method of success is to ensure that the tree has a large enough hole to contain the existing root ball and allow for roots to grow and expand. Better Homes and Gardens experts say to prepare a hole that is two to three times as wide as the root ball of the tree. Treat the root ball gently. If the roots are wrapped in burlap, remove the burlap or push it to the bottom of the hole.

Backfill the hole with soil and check that the tree is straight. Stake the tree to help it stay upright and straight until the roots anchor it more effectively.

A layer of mulch around the base of the tree can prevent weeds and reduce water loss. Water daily for several weeks until the roots have fanned out.

It’s best to leave trees be for the first growing season, only removing broken or diseased limbs. Resist pruning and shaping until the tree has survived its first growing season.

More sunlight and warm temperatures frequently inspire homeowners to spend more time in the great outdoors during spring and summer.

Outdoor projects often top homeowners’ to-do lists in spring and summer, with gardens and landscapes taking center stage. Planting more trees around the yard is one popular project that can improve property value and benefit the environment.

The next Third Saturday Trek at Allegany State Park is scheduled for a section of the North Country Trail on Saturday, Sept. 15.

The hike is part of the Third Saturday Trek series, a collection of free, familyfriendly hikes that take place on the third Saturday of each month. These treks are led by park staff, members of the Friends of Allegany State Park or Historical Society members and each focuses on a different area of the park.

The September hike will explore a section of the North Country Trail from the Bay State entrance to Route 1. Hikers are asked to come dressed for the weather with appropriate footwear; hiking boots are recommended. The hike will begin at 10 a.m. at the parking lot before the Red House toll booth, Site 2.

Registration is not required. For more information, visit the Allegany State Park Facebook page or contact the Environmental Education/Recreation Department at 3549101 ext. 236 or AlleganySP@parks.ny.gov.

According to the Rock Autism website, which includes a lengthy biography on Max’s brother, Sonny became a drug addict and eventually landed in prison after Max bought a rental property for him with the idea that he could become independent.

An acceptance call into a music therapy program never came, a program that the family hoped could help Sonny manage his mental health, according to the website.

“It’s so broad and there’s a huge range of it — people don’t know how to act around them,” Muscato said about individuals with autism. “I want people to see my brother perform.

“My brother is a great drummer but over the last couple of years he hasn’t been able to play as much because he’s been in jail or he’s gone through rehab and all that,” he continued.

“But it’s like riding a bike for him. I just want people to see there is a serious talent with a lot of these individuals.”

Muscato, a Buffalo resident and musician, hosted an album release party last July at Buffalo Iron Works and raised money for autism-related organizations. It was a success, he said, and the idea came to host a much larger festival.

Blending a fundraiser for autism awareness and music essentially encapsulates the Muscato’s family, he said.

“We’re all musicians and we all love to perform, so we figured if we can streamline good things to happen not only in my career but my brother’s life and other people’s lives, why not bring all these things together into a music festival,” Muscato said.

As a result, Rock Autism was formed along with its board of directors.

Although much of the organization is Buffalo-

based — including many of its corporate supporters — when Spencer Murray of Villaggio restaurant in Ellicottville joined the board the idea of hosting the festival in the Southern Tier began. Now there’s a handful of Ellicottville businesses listed as supporting entities as well.

“The entire community has been so supportive of us,” Muscato said.

Muscato and the rest of the Rock Autism board has big things planned for this year’s event — including plenty of kid-friendly activities during the day — but he also admitted this inaugural event is a “learning experience” for hopefully a bigger festival in the future.

“I told the entire board within 48 hours of the festival we all need to get together again and talk about what went wrong and what went well and then expand on that for the next event,” he said. “But we are hoping for 1,000 to 2,000 people to come down throughout the day so we can raise a good amount of money and give to our partners.”

The music lineup includes: • Noon to 12:30 p.m., XOXO; • 12:45 to 1:15 p.m.

FEVERBOX; • 1:30 to 2:10 p.m., Ponder; • 2:30 to 3:10 p.m., Deadwolf; • 3:20 to 4 p.m., EDALO; • 4:20 to 5:05 p.m., The Tins; • 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., Tiny Stones, a Stone Temple Pilots tribute band; • 7 to 8:10 p.m., Big Eyed Fish, a Dave Matthews Band tribute band; • 8:30 to 9:30 p.m., Max Muscato featuring Sonny Muscato; and • 9:50 to 11 p.m., The Strictly Hip, a Tragically Hip tribute band.

The event will be kid-friendly and include face painting and other children’s activities.

Gates open at noon and music continues until 11 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate. Children under 12 are admitted free and VIP tickets are also available.

Tickets are sold at the Tops Markets location on Washington Street in Ellicottville in addition to several Tops Markets in Buffalo. They are also available online by visiting RockAutism.org, where additional information is also available on the Rock Autism organization and its mission.
