Summer days at Allegany State Park

By Kellen M. Quigley Summer is in full swing at Allegany State Park, and there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors in New York’s largest state park. Grab a bite to eat at the Park Restaurant, located at the Red House Administration building, which is currently undergoing a renovation project to make the building look as new as it did many decades ago! But don’t worry, the restaurant, museum, ofﬁces and the gift shop are still open inside. There’s no better way to cool off during a heatwave than by a dip in the lake, and Allegany State Park offers two sandy beaches. Red House Lake, which reopened last summer after being closed for nearly a year due to the reconstruction of the Red House Dam, once again to welcoming visitors to its scenic waters. Beachgoers will not only enjoy a guarded beach with plenty of room to sprawl out on the sand and the grass but can also have fun at the all-new playground overlooking the beach. The snack bar is open, as well as the boathouse, where you can rent kayaks, SUPs, canoes and even bikes and pedal cars to cruise the bike path around the lake. Over at Quaker Lake, the beach is open daily as well, offering plenty of parking, picnic tables and a wide beach for sunning and building sandcastles. A second new playground was also constructed in the picnic area across from the Amphitheater.

Ellicottville School Board holds reorganizational meeting

The Ellicottville Central School Board of Education held its reorganizational meeting Tuesday, where Robert Van Wicklin was elected school board president for the 2019-20 school year. Wicklin successfully secured reelection to his seat on the board for another ﬁve-year term during the district’s annual school board and district budget vote in May. Elected as vice president of the board was William Murphy, who also served as vice president in the 2018-19 year. New board member Shana Chudy was also sworn in. Chudy was also elected to the board for a ﬁve-year term during the May vote.

In keeping with the status quo, the school board approved several dozen resolutions and accordances for the district to begin the 201920 school year. New this year, the board set its meeting schedule for the year with changes the regular meeting times, moving ahead one hour to 6 p.m. Several speciﬁc meetings will have differing times, but the board members agreed starting an hour earlier for most meetings would be better. The school board had a discussion about the desire to have two foreign language options offered to students in grades 7 through 12 and potential changes to the program in order to make both work. Superintendent Bob Miller said

the ﬁrst Spanish class in seventh grade would have between 30 and 35 kids unless the district can ﬁnd a way to split that section. Comparatively, seventh grade French would only have 11 students. “There was a question about phasing one out, and the board was pretty adamant last year about keeping two foreign languages around,” he said. Miller said although the French classes are smaller than Spanish, French students tend to stay through the program throughout high school while many Spanish students drop the class after 10th grade. “We talked about a lot of

The Kill Buck Community Picnic Committee is holding the next annual event on Aug. 4, starting at noon and running until 4 p.m. at the Kill Buck Pavilion. Hosted by the Town of Great Valley, the picnic will include food, games and more — everything you’d need to celebrate the community and the warm summer weather. The picnic last year, revived as part of Great Valley’s bicentennial celebration, was organized in an effort to reopen the pavilion to the public. This was a successful effort, as since then the space has been rented numerous times for a range of events. This year’s picnic will once again feature a 50/50 rafﬂe, which last year netted the winner a prize purse of over $1,500. Also returning will be the Chinese auction basket rafﬂe, featuring goods and items donated from local businesses. This year’s picnic will also feature musical performances and a contest hosted by Sally Marsh, as well as demonstrations by the Kill Buck Volunteer Fire Company. Truly a day of fun for the whole family, a waterslide, bounce house and hula hoop contest will also be included in this year’s event. The second annual Kill Buck Community Picnic is an alcohol free event.

Times ﬁle photo The second annual Kill Buck Community Picnic is returning this August to the Kill Buck Pavilion, where friends and neighbors will gather for food, games and more fun. Last year, over 200 people attended the inaugural event.

After setting out and achieving their goal last year, the committee have decided on another goal for this year’s event: raise the funds necessary to refurbish and maintain the ballpark adjacent to the pavilion itself. “That ballpark is as much a part of this community as the pavilion is,” committee chairperson Robert Patterson expressed, “so I think they will appreciate seeing that ﬁeld restored. It’s where we played as kids. It would be nice to pass it along to this generation.”

EVL BOARD different options, but one we came up with was not offering collegelevel Spanish and instead combining Spanish 4 and 5,” Miller said, which would be a combined junior and senior class, freeing up a period for two seventh grade Spanish classes. Currently, the district only has one Spanish teacher teaching seven different courses. Miller noted that many neighboring small school districts have dropped French and only teach Spanish, but one issue with that could be a transfer student who started in one language and needs to ﬁt into one of the high school classes. The board discussed several other ideas, including methods to even out the class sizes so there are more French students and fewer Spanish students. Miller said he would provide the board

with more information to make a decision at a future meeting. In other business, Elementary Principal Maren Bush said the elementary school had a successful ﬁeld day celebration in June. During the day, Sandy Tomblin, who retired, had the wing in the basement where her classroom was dedicated as “Mrs. Tomblin’s Way.” Bush said the school is working on a PEDALS grant to help fund a socialemotional support program for students. Bush said the school had a spirit week the ﬁnal week of school, featuring Dress Like a Teacher Day, which featured many students dressing up as ECS staff. In the high school, Principal Erich Ploetz said graduation ceremonies went off well, adding that the class of 2019 had a 100 percent

graduation rate. Looking to next year, Ploetz said the campus has a limited amount of parking spots for students, but with a large junior class of about 60 students coming in, he said not all of them will be able to have a spot. “It could be disappointing for some families, whatever situation we go with,” he said. “We have roughly 40 spots for student parking… but there’s over 100 students vying for those 40 spots.” Miller said there are several options the school could go with determining which students can have their own spot, but he said it is almost guaranteed all seniors could have spot if needed. “The last two years I’ve been here, it has been less of an issue with the smaller class sizes,” Ploetz said. “We’re going to have to be more proactive.”

Ellicottville Town Board approves 3 + 1 ﬁnancial agreement By Caitlin Croft

The Ellicottville Town Board approved the financial agreement with the 3 + 1 company first presented to the board in May by representative Alex DeRosa. This company works with public entities to collect data on their cash management. Essentially, this is a liquidity analysis and 3 + 1 will negotiate better interest rates on CD’s on behalf of the town. Their goal is to make the taxpayers’ dollar work as hard as possible while it is sitting idle in the bank. The algorithm that they use was developed and used by banks since the 1990s. They then went on their own after allowing their non-compete expire in 2014. This is when they started to offer their services to smaller municipalities. They completed the first phase which was a complete data analysis of the cash flow. This included all transactions and the most recent audit. The cost is $7,500 upfront and will be $1,875 quarterly going forward. LeRoy earned an additional $2,400 (after paying 3 + 1) the first year and are on track to earn over $40,000 this year. A key component of their program that sets them apart is all decisions are left in the hands of the Town Board, 3 + 1 does not communicate final decisions that must come from the board. Also, they do not ask you to change banks they work with the local bank the Town already uses. At the Supervisor’s Annual Dinner, Town

Supervisor Matt McAndrew met with Charlie Davis, the Supervisor in Ashford, regarding the EVGV Trail. In order to get funding from the Ralph C. Wilson Foundation (RCWF) an inter-municipal agreement needs to be arranged for shared services and a Master Plan for a trail all the way to Buffalo. The RCWF has advised what Ellicottville and the trail need to do and has invited them to apply for a matching grant. Levi Wolcott of WNY Cemetery Services gave an estimate for work at the Jefferson and Bryant Hill Cemeteries of $4,900. The board approved the bid. Wolcott has done a lot of work at Forest Lawn Cemetery, a well-known Cemetery in Buffalo. In the police department’s report, Officer-in-charge Don Auge advised that he would like to address a new radar display unit in the fall budget and hold off until September. There are two openings for part-time officers and the board authorized Auge to fill the two vacancies. Town/Village Engineer Niles Pierson advised he is still working on the best option for the LED Streetlight Conversion project with National Grid. He met with NYSERDA to discuss options to fund municipalities that chose to buy the poles instead of just converting the bulbs. Pierson is working on implementing the Dude Solutions Software that tracks work orders, maintenance, condition and location of water/ sewer district and fleet

management. He is hoping to have three tablets — one for each system, water, sewer and ﬂeet — and is investigating the best tablets for the program. There will be a new water main installed along Maybee Alley. This is due to Dina’s opening a banquet facility, and in order to tap into the system, she would need to bore under Route 219. The project materials are being purchased by Dina’s and the labor will be done for the village. This is a great upgrade to the system and a win/win for all parties involved. The Town Center Project is underway and one section is complete. The department has been busy keeping up with washouts and plugged up ditches and culverts from all of the heavy rain. Due to the weather, they have not been able to patch as much as they would like but every nice day they get done what they can. Highway Supervisor Tom Scharf has been charged to identify all rock settle points and get an estimate to be considered in the 2020 budget. He is currently looking into a $20,000 grant for rock, the town would pay upfront and be reimbursed.

This rock would be used on Townline, Quackenbush and Holiday Valley roads. In new business, a Water District Public Hearing was set for July 17. The board accepted the 2017-18 Clerk’s Audit. Everything was great and the clerk is doing a wonderful job. The board set the park program wages for this summer at $11.10 for regular employees and $11.50 for the assistant director. In old business, regarding the survey of 28 Parkside Drive, it is complete and the town attorney will look over and put together a boundary agreement with the owner’s on the East Side. The EVGV Trail has made a lot of signiﬁcant leaps forward in 2018-19. Currently, they are waiting for the land to dry out so that Northrup can clear out. The permit for tree cutting has also been received. The board also changed the name of Tamarack Drive to Northgate Drive. The Town Attorney will record the changes. The next meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board will be July 17 at 6 p.m. at the Town/Village Hall.

West Valley graduates 22 at June 29 ceremony

By Kellen M. Quigley In an intimate ceremony Saturday, June 29, West Valley’s class of 2019 crossed the school stage and received their diplomas, but the journey there was filled with memories and hardwork, and all in the blink of an eye. Addressing her classmates during their final time together, Class President Lilly Shanley fought through tears to say when they entered high school, everyone told them to enjoy it because it goes by quickly. Standing on stage, she agreed, saying it went by like a race car on a track. “We all need to know that this isn’t the end but the start of something great,” she said. “High school has been every emotion you could ever feel. It’s happy, it’s scary, it’s sad, and there is so much excitement. It truly is an adventure, but we’re now on to our next.” Valedictorian Rachel Frascella echoed Shanley’s words of high school flying by, telling future graduates to “enjoy it while it lasts. Be sure to work hard in school, but also have fun.” Speaking to her classmates, Frascella said most of them have been together since they were little kids, adding that going their separate ways now will be strange, but that’s OK. “No matter where life takes us, I hope you’ll all find happiness and success,” she continued, “and I hope you’ll always remember the valuable lessons we’ve learned from our small community and school.” Earlier in the ceremony, Salutatorian Travis Dusterhus poked fun at the school’s size, saying they can’t get away from each other and have become “one big, happy family,” even if they have to part ways. “No matter where you go, or what you do in this life that’s about to start, always remember this tiny town that you came from,” he said. “Remember all the bumps and potholes on all the country roads and the smell of cow manure. Most of all, remember that West Valley will be here if you ever need a home.”

Class advisor Allison Spence, a math teacher in the high school, wished her students well. “As you make your way off this stage today, be proud of all you’ve accomplished in your time at West Valley Central.” GRADUATES: Christopher J.

Vogel’s 4-inning no-hitter lifts Wellsville ArtMobile to visit Ellicottville library to District 2 Championship this summer

In his final game as a 12-year-old at his home Little League park, Hank Sinkey Field, Wellsville’s Tyler Vogel used his arm and his bat to help deliver his team a District 2 Championship on Sunday in Wellsville. Vogel held Ellicottville/ Cattaraugus-Little Valley hitless over four innings and hit a two-run home run as Wellsville won, 10-0. On the mound, Vogel stuck out eight of the 16 batters he faced and was 2-for-2 at the plate and scored twice. After a scoreless first, Wellsville took a 2-0 lead in the second as Derek Colman hit a double to drive in Bryce Rahr. A pinch runner, Brody Carlin, later scored on a passed ball. Wellsville took control of the game for good in the third, scoring five runs on five hits as A.J. Cowburn, Vogel, Kason Grover, Jack Cicirello and Eli Tanner each hit singles. In the fourth, Trenton Green singled and advanced to second on a passed ball. Cowburn drove him in with a single and Vogel hit his home run for a 10-0 lead. By holding ECLV, the “home” team by coin flip, off the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth, Wellsville won the game by the 10-run tournament mercy rule. Cowburn was 2-for-3 with an RBI and scored two runs. An ECLV win would have forced a winner-take-all game

Monday night in the double-elimination tournament. However, with Wellsville’s win, it advances to the Section 1 West Tournament this weekend, starting Saturday at noon at the Penfield Little League Complex against the District 3 Tournament winners.

ECLV 9, Fillmore 7 Ellicottville/ Cattaraugus-Little Valley held off a late-game rally by Fillmore, winning Saturday to advance to the championship of the District 2 Little League 10-12-year-old baseball tournament in Wellsville. ECLV avenged an opening 5-3 loss to secure a finals date with unbeaten Wellsville. On Saturday, ECLV led 7-2 before Fillmore put together a fiverun bottom of the fifth inning that featured doubles by Garrett Lester and Jack Boon (2 RBIs). ECLV answered with two runs in the top of the sixth. Fillmore’s James Hillman reached on an error to start the bottom of the sixth and Nolan Krzaminski walked, but ECLV’s infielders stopped the rally with a strong defensive stand. ECLV collected 10 hits — all singles — led by Cameron Mendell (3 RBIs), Thomas Bonin (3 runs) and Peyton Bradley (RBI, 2 runs) with two each. Brayden Young started on the mound for ECLV and struck out seven batters and allowed one

hit over 4 1/3 innings. Bradley came on in relief, striking out three and holding Fillmore hitless in the last 1 2/3 innings. ECLV 7, B-R/Cuba 4 Winning an elimination game on July 2, ECLV advanced to the District 2 semifinals in Wellsville. After taking a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, ECLV never trailed. Cameron Mendell was 2-for-4 with a pair of singles. Peyton Bradley was 1-for-4 with two RBI and Brayden Young was 1-for-1, scoring twice. Thomas Bonin scored twice and Coleman Carls scored once. Young struck out eight over 2 2/3 innings,

The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure University is kicking off its annual partnership with the National Summer Reading Program, making stops at public libraries across New York and Pennsylvania this summer. The ArtMobile will be stopping by the Ellicottville Memorial Library on Tuesday, July 16 from 2-3 p.m. “After the huge success of last year’s program, requests for the ArtMobile have tripled for this summer,” said Sean Conklin, assistant curator and museum educator at the Quick Center. “We have library visits planned almost every day in July and the ﬁrst four weeks of August, along with additional community outreach activities, summer camps and visits to local family festivals.” For the library program each day, staff will load the ArtMobile with works from the university collection, educational resources and art supplies and make an hour-long visit to each of the 33 participating libraries. Each visit will include a

lesson and activity aligned with the Collaborative Summer Reading Theme, “A Universe Of Stories.” Libraries were offered ﬁve different programs to select from for their visit, each speciﬁcally designed to incorporate STEAM education pedagogy with a focus on artistic expression. “This year we really wanted to create experiences that would feel engaging for the varying ages and stages that attend these library programs,” said Conklin. “We had such a positive response to last year’s program redesign, so we really wanted to keep that momentum moving into this summer. Our summer programming is just getting underway, but so far the response to the events and activities we’ve run has been overwhelmingly positive and our increased visibility really resonates with the community.” To learn more about the ArtMobile and when it will be at your local library, contact your local library or contact the Quick Center by phone at 375-2494 or by e-mail at quick@sbu.edu.

HEALTH & FITNESS:

HYDRATION – MORE BENEFICIAL THAN YOU REALIZE!

By Kim Duke Our weather has ﬁnally turned up the temperatures and the humidity. This means we need to turn up the volume of water we consume. The human body is 60 to 70 percent water. When a

person doesn’t drink enough water, it can have negative effects on the body and the way it operates. Not drinking enough water affects your health. According to NaturoDoc. com, humans can survive without food for a whopping two months, but can only go without water for a few days before bodily functions are compromised. Among other things, water ﬂushes out toxins in the body and keeps essential organs moist so they can function. In the course of a normal day, even without breaking a sweat, the average body loses at least 2 1/2 pints

of water through the skin, lungs, gut and kidney. Your body must do this to eliminate toxins. Whether you are detoxing or not, you should drink about three pints of ﬁltered or bottled water daily. The amount of water we use and lose does vary from person to person according to their size and level of activity but internal metabolic reaction relies on water. What Happens if You Don’t Drink Enough Water? Water consumption helps the body breathe because it moistens the lungs. Lung functions can use up to a

pint of water every day, decreasing the body’s moisture through exhalation. When that liquid isn’t replaced, it makes it difﬁcult to breathe. People who don’t drink enough ﬂuids can also gain excess body fat and have poor muscle tone and a decreased ability to digest food. How Much Water Should People Drink per Day? Most people live in a state of dehydration and don’t even know it, according to NaturoDoc.com. However, if people follow the general recommendation to consume

New basketball court proposed for Great Valley Town Hall

and council members to subscribe to an email service through the town’s website so they each have email accounts for conducting only town business. The meeting was held in memory of Dan Bierfeldt, who worked for the town for several years, and Jane Moore, who was a member of the fire department auxiliary.

By Kellen M. Quigley A place for anyone wishing to practice their foul shots or pick up a quick game of 3-on-3 basketball could soon becoming to the grounds behind the Great Valley Town Hall. At its regular Monday meeting, the Great Valley Town Board heard a proposal from Shana Chudy, a Great Valley resident who helps with Ellicottville’s youth basketball program, asking for a community basketball court be built at the town hall. “We have about 120 Great Valley youth that participate. Right now, as it stands, we don’t have a spot to play,” she said, adding that Ellicottville school is closed in the summer and there are no courts in Great Valley. “We walked the grounds out back here and there’s enough room out there for it,” Town Supervisor Dan Brown said of the field behind the town hall. Chudy said she is applying for a $4,000 grant through the Cattaraugus County Youth Bureau to help offset the costs of the potential court. The town board authorized Brown to sign the application to make the town a co-sponsor of the project. County Legislator Susan Labuhn, D-Salamanca, said this is the last year of the grant, so the $4,000 could only be used for a 2019 project. “There’s nothing lost by applying. We didn’t deny anybody’s applications last year,” she said. “There’s money there, and we just try to help the youth as best we can.” Originally, Chudy proposed a full-size court, which is 94 feet by 50 feet, but the town board expressed concern about securing funds to install the full court. Brown said the minimum amount of concrete needed would cost about $7,000 and additional costs for

base materials under the court and labor could bring the cost up to about $15,000. “We don’t have any more money to add to it. We’re halfway through our budget year,” Brown said. “We can’t do this pour ourselves. We would need people to do it since it needs to be seamless and perfect.” Chudy said she has talked with several locals as potential volunteers to perform the labor. She said she’s also reached out to individuals and groups for donations and already has funding for the hoops. “We’re not worried about lines at this point,” she added. “We’re going as minimal as possible to get that court out there so those kids can play.” Board member Jerry Musall recommended starting with half a court this year to essentially reduce the cost by 50 percent and then look at installing the second half in the future if funds are available. “We just have to come up with a couple grand more than the grant money,” he added. Until the next meeting, the town board will help to finalize plans for the project while Chudy waits to hear from the county concerning the grant. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the town

board discussed the possibility of a boat launch along the Great Valley Creek with potential funding from the county. The launch could not be installed on privately owned property, but the board suggested the volunteer fire company’s property off of Klawitter Road. County Legislator David Koch, D-Salamanca, said he would look into whether that could work or not. Meanwhile, the town will discuss with the fire company if they want a launch site on that property. If not, the board would look at other town-owned property along the creek. Labuhn said they would need a proposal from the town for the funds by September before the county begins budget sessions. The town board also authorized the use of $400 from the Kill Buck Pavilion fund be used to help purchase items needed for the Kill Buck Community Picnic. Additionally, the town authorized the purchase of three 8-foot-long collapsable tables for the pavilion so a total of nine are available for events. The board also authorized the town supervisor, clerk, planning and zoning board chair, code enforcement officer

eight to ten glasses of water a day, they can stay properly hydrated. This water intake should be spread throughout the day so there isn’t the constant urge to head to the bathroom. Caffeinated and Alcoholic Beverages While caffeinated and alcoholic beverages are liquid, they don’t necessarily quench the thirst. This is because products such as soda, coffee and beer cause the body to become dehydrated. These beverages actually hasten the body’s elimination of ﬂuids. When this occurs, mild symptoms of dehydration

‘The Last House Guest’ by Megan Miranda

Littleport, Maine, has always felt like two separate towns: an ideal vacation enclave for the wealthy, whose summer homes line the coastline; and a simple harbor community for the year-round residents whose livelihoods rely on service to the visitors. Typically, ﬁerce friendships never develop between a local and a summer girl, but that’s just what happens with Sadie Loman and Avery Greer. Each summer for almost a decade, the girls are inseparable, until Sadie is found dead. While the police rule the death a suicide, Avery can’t help but feel there are those in the community, including a local detective and Sadie’s brother, Parker, who blame her. Someone knows more than they’re saying, and Avery is intent on clearing her name, before the facts get twisted against her. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library, or you can download for free as an eBook version to your own device using your library card!

are experienced, including heartburn, fatigue, stomachache, lower back pain, headaches and depression. Eating a Healthy Diet Eating a healthy diet that contains at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day is also important since most of the body’s daily fluid intake comes from what we eat. If you find that you’re extremely thirsty, not eating a healthy diet, or feeling dehydrated, drink cold water rather than hot water. According to Southern Cross Health Insurance, the body absorbs cold water more quickly.

Summer Stop making these 8 common grilling mistakes

Cooking food over an open fire imparts all sorts of flavor. Grilling tends to be quicker, less messy and more convenient than cooking in the kitchen - particularly during the dog days of summer. Outdoor grills are seemingly everywhere, including many backyards across the country. That grills are so commonplace doesn’t mean that everyone grilling is employing the right techniques. Becoming the ultimate grillmaster involves understanding the subtleties of grilling and avoiding common mistakes so food can look and taste that much better. 1. Not prepping the food: The French culinary term for preparing to cook is “mise en place.” This is especially important

when grilling, as cooks must deal with faster cooking times than they would otherwise encounter when cooking meals in the stove. 2. Dirty grill: Make sure the grill is cleaned before and after each use. Grease can quickly build up on a grill, leading to flare-ups that can cause foods to char. Frequent cleaning also helps grillmasters avoid a tiresome cleaning process at the start of the season. 3. Forgetting to preheat: Preheating the grill ensures that foods will cook quickly and as evenly as possible. Otherwise, meats can lose moisture and even stick to cooler grates. Reader’s Digest suggests preheating to between 350 F and 450 F depending on the food. 4. Overreliance

on lighter fluid: The chemical taste of lighter fluid can transfer to foods even when the fluid is used sparingly. Consider using a chimney starter when grilling with charcoal. And avoid repeated pyrotechnics with fluid, or worse, gasoline. 5. Too much direct heat: Food should not char on the outside before the inside has a chance to cook. A two-zone fire, according to food experts at Serious Eats, enables grillmasters to cook over high heat to sear and then move the food to a lower temperature to continue to cook evenly. 6. Playing with food: Grilling does not require much intervention. Repeatedly flipping and squeezing meat and poultry can cause flavorful juices

to leak out. Then you’re left with driedout food. Resist any urges to prod and poke food. And minimize how many times you lift the grill cover to take a peek, as that can cause temperatures to fluctuate. Use a thermometer to determine when food is done. And don’t forget

that meat will still cook a bit after it’s taken off the grill. 7. Improper seasoning: Basting food with sugar-laden sauces and marinades too early can cause flare-ups and burning. Quick rubs can help lock in flavor, and then reserve the sauce for the last few minutes of grilling, says

cookbook author Dave Martin. 8. Digging in too soon: Give meats a chance to rest for between five and 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute through the food. This improves flavor and tenderness.

ALPINE MEADOWS For rent 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath across from Holiday Valley resort.

A new dock area was added last year, adjacent to the beach, where you can also rent a variety of watercraft to enjoy the lake. The park packs in a full lineup of live music all summer long with special events and their Artists in Resident Program, which unofﬁcially began in the early 1980s. In the early years, concerts were mainly on the Red House side of the park, but as it continued to grow in popularity, eventually the Quaker side of the park was included. Today, concerts are held all week long at various locations throughout the park, including the Quaker Amphitheater, Red House Beach and Red House Administration Building lawn. The schedule can be picked up at either registration building or viewed on the park’s Facebook page. Get ready for a rockin’ good time at the park’s 8th annual Rock the Park, set for July 19 at the Red House Beach area. The day kicks off at 3 p.m. with a local vendor showcase. Various merchants and organizations will be on hand to familiarize park patrons and local residents with the many great things that are available to them in the

surrounding area. At 5 p.m., Park Naturalists will host an “Ask the Naturalist” program that will feature several interactive nature displays including a nature-themed photo booth. At 6 p.m., a sandcastle building contest will take place, sign up at the “Ask the Naturalist” table. Also at 6 p.m., it’s time to “Rock the Park” with opening act and Allegany’s own Artist in Residence, Tyler Calkins. This 31-yearold singer-songwriter set out to create a sound reﬂecting the songwriting techniques of the sixties and seventies, while also utilizing modern and alternative rock. He will be followed at 7:30 p.m. by the headliner, Pressure Sensitive, which is an explosive band sometimes referred to as a rock and roll time machine due to the variety of songs they play. They take audiences on a wild ride that stops anywhere between the 1960s and into the new millennium. Pressure Sensitive is a band that will keep you dancing and singing all night long. For more information on this event contact the Environmental Education/Recreation

Department at 354-9101 ext 236 or check out our Facebook page. Then on Saturday, July 27, bring your fourlegged furry friends to the Red House Picnic Area at Allegany State Park for the second annual Dog Days of Summer event! From agility courses to paw painting, this event set for 2 to 4 p.m. is perfect for you and your pup. Any pet on a maximum of a sixfoot leash, with proof of vaccination, and is friendly to both people and other animals are more than welcome! Additionally, as this event is a park-run function, we must add that any unruly animals may be asked to leave. This event is cohosted with EARS, a local adoption agency who will bring along animals looking for their forever home. Come and beat the heat at our beautiful park with some fun games, free treats, great tunes, and good company. Registration is not required. Would you like to volunteer for this event? Contact the Environmental Education/Recreation Department at 716354-9101 ext. 231 or AlleganySP@parks. ny.gov for more information.

Come to ‘Celebrate’ in Salamanca this weekend

By Eli Phillips

The city of Salamanca and the Seneca Nation of Indians have come together again to host the third annual Celebrate Salamanca Day this Saturday, July 13. The showcase event, running along Main Street and East Race Street in the city, will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The celebration will feature an estimated 30 vendors offering locally made goods, crafts, food and more. Mayor Michael “Smitty” Smith said he’s been impressed by the growth of the celebration in its ﬁrst two years and hopes to see the same — if not more — in its third. “We do this every year to celebrate what this city is and what makes it truly unique: we’re the only city placed completely on a reservation,” Smith told the Press in a previous interview. He said Celebrate Salamanca is a way to show appreciation for what makes the city beautiful, most speciﬁcally the area’s Seneca culture. Attendees can expect many of their favorite attractions to make a return this year, including performances by Salamanca Dance Center and the Seneca Youth Dancers as well as exhibitions from the Shuhari Karate Dojo and the Salamanca Fire Department. Smith stressed how important the local talents and vendors are to the Celebrate Salamanca bash, making them truly special experiences every year. “We’ve got these incredibly talented people:

dancers, craftsmen, chefs, but unfortunately we don’t always have a way to show them off,” he explained, “... the celebration is a way to show others what we can do, and what we’re all about.” For patrons looking to get interactive, Seneca Gaming has once again provided the Money Machine, giving participants the opportunity to walk into a booth emptyhanded and walk out with real cash. Last year, the Money Machine gave out prizes totaling $1,300. As always, traditional ﬁxtures for the day will include horse and buggy rides over the Main Street bridge to behind the Holy Cross Club, provided by The Crosspatch Ranch. From there, those looking to relax can enjoy a short canoe trip down the Allegheny River. Free catch-and-release ﬁshing in designated areas will be provided by the Seneca Nation as well. “The river really is a luxury, so providing these

trips is a way to show people that it isn’t like white water rafting,” the mayor added. “It’s really really fun — deﬁnitely something the whole family can come out and enjoy.” The popular fairgrounds game “I Got It!” will also be included this weekend. Families and superfans alike can come to test their skills, and luck, in this carnival classic. As part of the celebration, the city of Salamanca and the Seneca Nation will be hosting a special entertainment event Friday evening, July 12. Featured entertainment will also include the ever-popular Porcelain Bus Drivers, performing Saturday evening to wrap up the day’s festivities. With great food and exciting entertainment, surrounded by culture and tradition. Where else would you rather be this weekend? Come celebrate Salamanca this Saturday, and have some fun in the sun!
