Everyone in the parade gets a prize! One of the region’s top keyboardists, Theresa Quinn, will take to the gazebo with her trio as a special part of the annual Ellicottville Gazebo Series. The performance will run from 1 to 4 p.m. Come evening, head to the slopes of Holiday valley to catch the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, which will perform patriotic tunes choreographed to fireworks, dance music and some great movie favorites On Sunday, July 2, the Arts and Crafts Show continues from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Gates at Holiday Valley open at 6 p.m. once again.

Fireworks
Sure, picnics are nice, but what’s the Fourth of July without some gorgeous fireworks? This year, there’s no better place to kick off the Independence Day festivities than Ellicottville’s Summer Music Festival when the first fairway on Holiday Valley’s double black diamond golf course becomes a concert venue. Saturday night’s show will kick off with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, which will perform its annual show
featuring patriotic fanfare choreographed to fireworks, dance music and some great movie favorites, including “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Frozen.” Sunday night’s performers are Carl Dixon and Grand

Lifelong Friends Team Up Ellicottville Town Board on New Business Venture Broadband, Shared Services Discussed Meeting

Dina DiPasquale (left) and Kim Reading (right) plan to open the Tee Bar: With A Twist July 14
The Village of Ellicottville has changed so much over the years. Businesses have come and gone and buildings have changed, but a few of these businesses have managed to survive the long haul. Taking years of business experience running Dina’s and Mud, Sweat & Gears, Dina DiPasquale and Kim Reading have decided to team up to bring The Tee Bar: With a Twist to the Village. This clever name is a spinoff of the now antiquated way to get up a ski hill, a T-Bar. Now this isn’t going to be another bar where we See Tee Bar page 14
The Town of Ellicottville Board Meeting opened with the approval of last month’s minutes and Privilege of
the Floor. Vice Chair of the Town Planning Board John Zerfas asked if he could use his capabilities being on the planning board to investigate the progress of Southern Tier West bringing broadband to
our area. “I have come to notice that, Phase No. 2 of this project will not serve the entirety of our district.” The Town Board has agreed to allow Zerfas to investigate the

Letter from the Editor As we celebrate America this weekend, it’s also a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends. Ellicottville is the place to be all weekend long, with so much going on. There’s the Rodeo, which is such a unique and action-packed event, the Pet Parade (who doesn’t love a little doggie dressed up in red, white and blue?!), good eats, cold drinks, fireworks and all the live music! Really, there’s nothing like enjoying a concert slopeside, under the stars at Holiday Valley (and the forecast looks a little warmer than last year) and when you add in all the Village entertainment, you have the perfect excuse to get out those dancin’ shoes and move to the music well into the night (and perhaps the wee hours of the morning!) However you spend this weekend, make plans to make some memories! Happy Independence Day! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times and Ellicottville Times

Fuel on Fire Continued from front page
“We changed our name to Fuel on Fire because everyone was having a hard time spelling and remembering the name Doerfel,” explained band member and spokesperson Ben Doerfel. Originally from Springville, Fuel on Fire includes Ben along with his brothers, TJ Doerfel, Edward Doerfel, Joe Doerfel and Kurt Doerfel. They all now reside in Key West, FL. “Playing in the Florida Keys doesn’t seem like a huge deal, but it really is,” Ben said. “You’d be surprised how
Located at Holiday Valley inside the Tamarack Club
many people have seen our band just in the keys alone.” When Fuel on Fire isn’t playing in the Keys or on tour, they are recording in Nashville. “Our original music is pop/ rock,” Ben stated. “Our live show consists of everything from classic bluegrass all the way to rage against the machine. It’s a huge blend of all our inspirations.” In addition to Saturday’s performance, the Doerfel Family Band will be performing at the Gin Mill Monday night at 7 p.m.,
featuring a few of the family members playing more traditional country/bluegrass music. “Coming back to WNY is exciting simply because it’s like home,” Ben noted. “It’s where we all grew up. It’s where our family is. The people are amazing. There’s a love for music and every time we come back the crowds put smiles on all our faces!” For more info, find Fuel on Fire on Facebook or visit www.fuelonfire.com.

effective July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2020. Additionally, the Board unanimously voted to appoint Erich Ploetz to the position of Middle School/High School Principal last Tuesday, replacing Miller. Ploetz is the current Junior Senior High School Principal at North Collins and a former Assistant High School Principal at Williamsville High School. Ploetz is an Ellicottville native. He will receive a probationary term of four years, to begin on July 31, 2017, and receive a salary of $105,016. In other business, the board approved several advisors for the 2017-2018 school year. New appointments are as follows: 6-8 Musical: Director (stage), Crystal Wilder; Assistant Director (Production), Gwen Bush; Assistant Director (Vocal), Pat Waldron; Assistant Director (Choreographer), Elizabeth Weber Music Association: Crystal Wilder, Kathy Weller, Pat Waldron; 10th Grade: Cathie Nason, Aimee Kilby 11th Grade: Dave McCann, Matt Finn 12th Grade: Crystal Wilder, Pat Waldron Student Council: 6th Grade: Shannon Palmatier, Lynette Sexton, Chelsea Cole 7th Grade: Elizabeth Weber, Vicky Williams 8th Grade: Jackie James, Deb McGowan 9th Grade: Melissa Reedy, Matt Finn Audio-Visual Dir/ETV: Chris Edwards Computer Coordinator: Shawne Hunt Computer Lab Monitor: Pam Illig Detention Monitors: June Chapman, Marie Davis Drama Club Advisors: Director (Stage): John Wilder Assistant Director (Production): Crystal Wilder Assistant Director (Vocal): Pat Waldron Assistant Director (Choreographer): Elizabeth Weber Assistant Director (Accompanist): Jamie Edwards Ecology Club & Envirothon: Glenn Hall Yearbook: Carrie Bauer, Chris Edwards ESPRA: Holly Richardson Fitness Room Supervisors: Chad Bartoszek, Tammy Eddy, Tracie Myers, Mary Neilon, Chelsea Cole French Club: Dolores Whistler Homework Club Substitutes: Kristen Pearl, Tracie Myers Homework Club/Academic Tutors: Bill Delity, Marie Davis, Holly Richardson, Chelsea Cole, Heather Reed, Gay Fitzpatrick, April Donoghue Jazz Chorus Director: Pat Waldron National Honor Society: Blair Wood Peer Tutor Coordinator: Carolyn Bauer Robotics: Chris Edwards, Blair Wood Scholastic Challenge: Ann Chamberlain Ski Club: Glenn Hall Spanish Club: Jamie Edwards Stage or Jazz Band: Crystal Wilder Substitute Computer Lab Monitor: Kristen Brady, Heather Reed Substitute Detention Monitor: Marie Davis, Kristen Brady Trap Team: Vince Oliverio Varsity Club: Chad Bartoszek Video Photographer: Chris Edwards Web Master: Chris Edwards One Act Plays Director: John Wilder Assistant Director: Crystal Wilder
Advisors for 6-12 Grade Student Council, Common Core Specialists, OM Advisors and OM Coordinator are yet to be determined. Lastly, the Board also voted to revoke and rescind the appointment of Rebecca Nannen to the position of K-12 Librarian based on lack of time to devote to the position. “The percentage of time – that’s all it has to do with,” said Principal Miller. “It had nothing to do with performance or efforts or abilities.” The next Board of Education Meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 11 at 8 p.m. in the high school library.

matter further. The Board has voted to pay all town bills from the Distribution Report #05-17 and they have accepted the May 2017 Financial Report. The Joint Town/Village Public Works position job description has been completed, along with an Organizational Chart. It still needs to be discussed with Jeff Smith and Steve Mountai; Town Engineer Mark Alianello suggested a teleconference for next week. The water agreement with the Village has been extended to Dec. 31, 2017. Phase One of the Asset Inventory has begun. With Harold Morton retiring in August, there is added pressure to get all his processes and procedures on to paper. “Mort will truly be missed with all he has done over these years,” Alianello stated. The new evidence room project will be underway and the drainage issue has been solved but still needs to address power and heat. Matthew McAndrew, Town Supervisor, suggests it could be done concurrently with the fan installation. This way, both projects would be done in one shot and the town will not have to pay to have a crew come out a second time. McAndrew attended the Cattaraugus County Shared Services Meeting, in which it has been discussed to merge the services of several municipalities. Such services
looking to be combined would be demolition services, engineering, courts, highway equipment and procurement and appraising services. Don Auge, Head of the Town Police Department, advised that nine of his officers spent time taking the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Rifle Course. “I am very happy with my officers, there was marked improvement from the beginning of the training to the last day.” Auge also advised that the incident that occurred on Memorial Day, when an officer did not show up for duty, had been addressed and a situation such as that will not occur again. Tom Scharf, Head of the Highway Department, has been given permission to acquire a new 10-wheeler plow truck. The Canada Hill Culvert bid has been awarded to JD Northrup Construction. Seeing as the pipe has already been purchased and Northrup will provide all man power necessary (i.e. traffic control), all the town is responsible for is getting the pipe to the location. Alianello has advised the HVAC project is complete and there are only two small issues. The mayor’s office control does not seem to be working and there is a smell of burnt toast at times. These two matters are being looked into. Alianello advised that the controls could be set up to be accessed remotely, but only one person
will have access to that. It was decided that Town Clerk Robyn George be the one responsible and she will receive training from Derek Rule at MDA. There will be a paint touch up in the Meeting Room as the Town Supervisor is hesitant to completely repaint before the new windows are installed. A Public Hearing has been set regarding a Tax Cap Override – This gives the town the option to go over because the budget is unknown. This Public Hearing will be July 19 at 6 p.m. The Park Program wages have been set for minimum wage and the assistant will make $11.38 per hour. The Ellicotville Great Valley Trail hosted a fundraiser where they raised about $2,600. Currently they are waiting on paperwork to be sent to all landowners which the trail will cross, as there has already been verbal consent from all owners for some time. The Town has been awarded a $50,000 grant from NYSERDA and the paperwork needed to receive it is due September 2017. D.E.C. is working on the Wildlife impact that has been afflicting Poverty Hill Road of late. The Alley Katz sent the Town Board a thank you note for their donation. The next meeting of the Town Board will be held at the Town Hall at 6 p.m. on July 19.

CCAC Offers a Summer’s Worth of Creativity

By Mary Heyl
Explore your creative side by taking part in the Cattaraugus County Arts Council’s upcoming events this summer! The CCAC, located at 100 West Main Street in Allegany, is dedicated to promoting “the creation, presentation and appreciation of arts and culture in the region while nurturing education and commerce in the arts.” Whether you are an artist, an aspiring artist or lover of the arts, the CCAC has several events this summer that will inspire you. The CCAC offers adult classes year ‘round at Art on Main Studio, the area’s only fully equipped professional art studio, also located at 100 West Main Street in Allegany. Anyone over the age of 14 is welcome to take part in the adult classes, and prospective students can register online at www.myartscouncil.net. This Friday, June 30, artist Samila Sosic will be teaching a Splatter and Spirits workshop from 6-9 p.m. Students can bring their favorite beverage and enjoy painting a colorful fish in this fun class. All painting supplies will be provided, and the cost is just $35. Interested in pottery? On July 12, 19, 26 and Aug. 2 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Pamela Delyannis will be teaching a Vases, Jars & Jugs pottery series to build on basic pottery skills. The class also includes glazing, and all supplies and tools are included. Class fee is $110 for CCAC members and $120 for non-members. Explore a new medium in Jennifer Godbout’s Painting with Alcohol Inks class on July 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This class is great for experienced artists, as well as beginners, and teaches students how to use this unique, fluid medium on both Yupo tile and palette paper. Since alcohol ink dries quickly, students will leave with multiple finished pieces and handouts that include a supply lists and sources. This workshop includes all materials and is $35 for CCAC
members and $45 for nonmembers. One of the main ways the CCAC supports and promotes local artists is through their art galleries, both at the CCAC and the Olean Public Library. Saturday, July 8 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. is the opening for artist Jennifer Godbout’s alcohol ink paintings, which will be on display through August. From July 7 through Aug. 25, Merriam Ryding’s nature paintings will be on display at the Olean Public Library Art Gallery located at 134 North 2nd Street in Olean. The CCAC and the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce invite you to enjoy an afternoon of delicious food, inspiring art, and familyfriendly fun at their annual Taste of Olean/Art in the Park event! On Sunday, July 23 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the War Vets Park on State Street in Olean will be hosting this popular festival, where visitors can sample a variety of foods and drinks from area restaurants, while enjoying fine art and crafts at this juried festival. According to CCAC Executive Director Tina Hastings, “This will be the 68th year that Art in the Park will be held. The Arts Council has run the event for about 15 years.” Artists come from all over the region, including Olean, Franklinville, Fredonia and Pennsylvania. “This year we have eight new vendors participating, which is the most new participants we’ve had,” said Hastings. Visitors can expect an impressive range of items at Art in the Park, which is accepting vendor applications until July 9. Hastings explained, “It is a fine arts and artisan kind of event, so we’re looking for all kinds of art: fiber arts, pottery, even artisan soap makers with great packaging and great design. We have jewelry makers,

painters, and photographers. One of our new artists is an artist that works in paper making and creates gorgeous paper flowers.” Those who wish to participate as a vendor can contact Hastings at (716)372-7455 or visit www. myartscouncil.net/art-in-thepark.

The National Comedy Center Presents Week of Comedy July 31 – Aug 6
The National Comedy Center is presenting a week of comedy performances and dialogues during its annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, and partnering with world-renowned Chautauqua Institution on a week titled “Comedy and the Human Condition,” July 31 – Aug. 6. Jim Gaffigan, Kevin James, Robert Klein, Lisa Lampanelli and more than 20 others will perform in Lucille Ball’s hometown of Jamestown, NY while Lewis Black, David Steinberg, W. Kamau Bell, Kelly Carlin and more engage in dialogues in the 4,000 seat amphitheater series that has welcomed nine U.S. presidents, three supreme court justices and the world’s most significant thought-leaders in history at the Chautauqua Institution, which is among the oldest and most respected lecture platforms in the nation. The National Comedy Center, the first national-scale, non-profit cultural institution and visitor experience dedicated to comedy, will also present a week-long sneak preview exhibit of the George Carlin Archives it acquired in 2016, as it works toward opening its major visitor experience featuring more than 70 exhibits on comedy, targeted for summer of 2018. The Center recently announced completion of its
capital budget in what is a $50 million endeavor, funded by federal, state and private philanthropic support. The Center celebrates comedy in all of its forms, educating and engendering in visitors an appreciation for the art form and its artists. Design of the immersive experience has been provided by some of the most prominent cultural and interactive design firms in the world, whose portfolios collectively include the 9/11 Memorial Museum, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, the College Football Hall of Fame, SNL: The Experience, Universal Studios, and more. The week’s programming also includes the nationally and critically-acclaimed children’s comedy troupe, The Story Pirates, late-night comedy and a stand-up showcase free to members of the U.S. Military past and present. Additional National Comedy Center dialogues include “A Conversation with Alan Zweibel,” original Saturday Night Live writer, best-selling author, and Broadway playwright; a comedy master class taught by Kliph Nesteroff, author of “The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels and the History of American Comedy;” and “Comedy and the First Amendment,” featuring Kitty
Bruce, daughter of Lenny Bruce, presented in partnership with a legal scholar from the Robert H. Jackson Center. Tours will be available at the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum during the festival, which this year features a 100th birthday celebration of visionary and entertainment mogul, Desi Arnaz. The festival and the forthcoming National Comedy Center embody Lucille Ball’s vision for her hometown to become a destination for the celebration of the comedic arts. For the past 26 years, Jamestown has hosted the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, which annually attracts 13,000 plus attendees from more than 40 states. Past performers have included Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Trevor Noah, Brian Regan, Joan Rivers, Lewis Black, Ellen DeGeneres, Paula Poundstone, Nick Offerman, Ray Romano, Bob Newhart, and The Smothers Brothers.

Catt. Co. Largest 4-H Delegation in the State
Public Hearing for Greystone Apartments Set
By Caitlin Croft
During the regularly scheduled meeting of the Town of Ellicottville Planning Board, the project located on NYS 242 E was discussed. The proprietor of this project, Phil Vogt, plans to build apartments behind the Greystone Townhouses. This is a High-Density District; therefore, Vogt must apply for a Special Use Permit, Master Plan Development and Site Plan Review, which also includes a Landscaping Plan. There will be two, twostory buildings on a total of 1.56 acres. In each building, there will be six units, two on the first floor and four on the second floor. Each building will be roughly 3,700 sq. ft. This piece of property does not have access to NY 242 and therefore will need an
easement to get over the land of the Greystone Home Owner’s Association (HOA). A portion of the property is in the 100-year Flood Plane and will require a permit from the Code Enforcement Officer to be issued. Access has been addressed with a drafted easement to be signed by all parties within the HOA. At the last meeting of the Town Planning Board, there was an issue of house numbers and that has been addressed. Regarding zoning, all setbacks have been met. For the Site Plan, there was a question regarding parking and how to better direct traffic. It has been decided that additional plantings will be added between the driveway and Greystone HOA property line. Also, it was asked that plantings go in around the
foundation on at least the front and sides of the building. The Planning Board has requested that a document with water and sewer plans be included with the easement. Vogt advised that they are included in the current draft of the easement. Addressing concerns from the last meeting, the dumpster will be screened in, open space standards have been met, along with width of driving lane. Having all major concerns addressed, the Planning Board deemed the application complete and has set the Public Hearing for July 24 at 6 p.m. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Town Planning Board will be Monday, July 24 at 6 p.m. at the Town Hall.
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cattaraugus County is proud to announce that our 4-H Program has the largest delegation in the State of New York attending the 3-Day Career Explorations extravaganza at Cornell University this past week. Forty-six 4-H youth and 5 adult chaperones met our three 4-H Teen Leaders, who were already pre-selected by Cornell, and are on campus doing leadership training. The Cattaraugus delegation joined hundreds of other 4-H members from across New York State. Everyone took classes, made new friends, shared information about their respective parts of our great state and added to their leadership skills. Thanks to the generosity of the Olean and Arcade Tractor Supply Stores, The Liberty Partnership, Cornell University and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cattaraugus County, every child received a scholarship in some amount to enable them to participate in this incredible adventure. The purpose of this particular program is to
provide youth with exposure to academic fields and career exploration, to develop leadership skills, to provide hands-on experience in a college setting and to introduce participants to Cornell University. The event is made up of two grade specific tracts: University U for youth entering grades 8 - 9 and Focus for Teens for youth entering grades 10-12. University U exposes youth to a variety of program areas – with each child being exposed to about 10 different fields of study. Focus for Teens allows participants to select a specific interest area. Topics included Women in Science, Where Life and Engineering Meet, Astronomy and Environmental Engineering. The theme for this year’s conference was Shout Out, Break Out. This theme encouraged participants to break out and try new things and shout out about their experiences and share it with others. The hands on learning opportunities, as well as the leadership and teamwork that was fostered, created an atmosphere where youth were able to broaden their horizons
and gain many important life skills. The ability to interact and share this experience with other young people from across our County and State is invaluable. Suzann Tighe, Executive Director for Cornell Cooperative Extension in Cattaraugus, said, “We are so very proud of the hundreds of children who have chosen to join 4-H in Cattaraugus County. They are a dedicated, diverse and hardworking group of kids. We encourage parents and grandparents to pick up the phone and give us a call at the Extension Office in Ellicottville 716 699-2377. Katie Benatovich works with our many non-animal programs, while Abby Luzier is focused on our programs that relate to animals, from guinea pigs to horses. 4-H is also a wonderful opportunity for our County Homeschoolers. We are always accepting applications from new members and adult volunteers, so if you are interested please give us a call.”

When you arrive, you are greeted with great hors d’ oeuvres from Katy’s, John Harvard’s and other great restaurants, served by student volunteers from ECS.

Hands down this event has the best food served at any venue, with an expansive array of entrees provided by the best restaurants in the area. Supported by both Sysco and US Foods, the local chefs will be trying to impress you with their signature dish served at their individual stations. This year’s Italian theme menu is way over the top with many culinary surprises to treat those who attend. A great Antipasta table from Ilio DiPaolo’s Restauran, a seafood Medley from John Harvard’s and Seafood Lasagna from Myer’s are just a few of the 11 stations you will enjoy. You can eat as much as you like, but save room for the dessert table where Watson’s Chocolates surround the extra special cakes, cookies and tarts created by chef Tom Kneeland.

Present Day Fitness
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
Present day fitness centers look nothing like that did when I first walked into one back in the 80s. Gone and outdated are the machines for each isolated muscle group: one chest press, one shoulder press, one leg press and so on. Instead what you will find are plyo boxes, TRX bands, medicine balls, kettlebells, battle ropes and sandbags, just to name a few.
Strength training has long evolved from targeting just one muscle group at a time, as fixed path machine do, to incorporating functional moves— that is, those that require all your muscles to work together, as they do in real life. However, with all the fads in fitness, is this exercise trend here to stay? In a landmark 2008 study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that exercisers using free-form cable machines become 58 percent stronger that those doing similar moves on fixed-path equipment; the cable-machine group also had greater improvements in balance. Just like cable machines, functional strength equipment like free weights and kettlebells require you to move in all sorts of directions, which means your body must recruit
both primary muscles and stabilizer muscles to keep the load from traveling in a certain path. With a more complex movement, you involve more coordination, more body parts and more brainpower to direct all that action. On the downside, using cable based systems or other equipment that is unfamiliar calls for more know-how on the exerciser’s part. And if you don’t understand what you’re doing, you can up your chances of getting hurt. Anything that involves more of the body and incorporates more dynamic elements, like waving battle ropes or swinging a kettlebell, may put you at a greater risk for injury if you do not know the proper technique. Your best bet is to build your skills in a small group class or invest in a session with a certified pro.

Sky Lanterns Not Permitted in NYS
Sky Lanterns are impressive to watch as they drift away into the night sky. Many people are unaware of the potentially fatal consequences the releasing of sky lanterns can have for wildlife and other animals. The metal can land in a hay field to be unexpectedly bailed up, given to livestock which can cut the livestock’s mouth as they feed on the hay. Other wildlife has been known to get tangled up in this wire. These devices act like a small hot air balloon causing the lantern to rise. The lantern can unexpectedly settle on the ground, trapped in a tree or land on a roof and create a serious fire/safety hazard. Due to international fire codes, they are banned in 29 states
including New York State. The Office of Fire Prevention and Control say they meet the definition of Recreational Fires, as defined in Section 302.1 of the Fire Code and consequently, these devices
require constant attendance as required in Section 307.5 of the Fire Code. Sky lanterns cannot be constantly attended and thus present a violation of the Fire Code of New York State.

To his credit, he’s received numerous Buffalo Music Awards for solo performances and has released three independent, original albums.

have landed him success not only on the local stage, but the national one as well. One of Keith’s most notable feats was appearing on season 6 of NBC’s “The Voice”. Since then, he’s gone on to do special events for the Buffalo Sabres, Bills, and many others in great local and regional venues. Add his talented band to the mix, and you won’t be disappointed! Capping off this fun-filled night will be a spectacular fireworks display over the waters of Quaker Lake! This year, patrons should plan on adjusting their viewing plans due to a change in the fireworks launch site location. It will be relocated to an area between the Quaker toll booth and the intersection of ASP 3 and Cain Hollow (see map). This is in compliance with Federal regulations restricting the distance fireworks can be launched from the newly established eagle’s nest in the
area. The map depicts the best vantage points -both ends of the lake, a couple of areas on each side of the lake, as well as the Quaker Beach area. Patrons planning to view the fireworks at the beach should plan to arrive early as the parking lot has limited capacity and will be closed once it is full. In the spirit of cooperation, attendees are also asked to obey all designated “No Parking” zones. In addition, no drones will be permitted at this event. Be sure to check the Allegany State Park Facebook page for information. For those who can’t make it to this event, the annual Beach Party will be held on Aug.18. This fun-filled night of music and activities will also include a beautiful fireworks display over Quaker Lake. For more information contact the Quaker Rental office at (716) 354-2182.

Will Lowry is a guitarist/singer-songwriter who hails from Western New York. He began playing guitar during the folk music revival of the 60’s.

In 1971 he moved to the Boston area seeking a band of like-minded musicians. While living in Massachusetts he studied classical guitar in Cambridge. Will moved home to Western New York the following year at the invitation of an established band. Eventually his path brought him back to the acoustic guitar, playing solo acts as well as with other performers. Will recorded his first album in 1979 entitled MYSTERY. This album was followed up by Come Away, In Your Presence and Fragments. His most recent album, Colours & Lines was released in November of 2016.

Jess Chizuk – Compelling, vivid stories from the heart told emphatically by graceful vocals, accompanied by little more than an acoustic guitar. These are the building blocks for most of Jess Chizuk’s songs. The young singersongwriter has her musical roots firmly divided between both old folk tunes and new indie music, and the result of this combination is her truly captivating writing. It has been garnering the attention of audiences in her hometown of Buffalo NY and beyond.

find visitors and locals alike whooping it up. This will be a tee shirt shop selling tee shirts and soft serve ice cream. Dina and Kim are two of Ellicottville’s seasoned travelers as well, and I asked if on their journey, they have come across many tee shirt shops and where their inspiration came from. “We have been to a lot of tee shirt shops over the years and thought adding soft serve would be a great twist [pun intended],” DiPasquale tells me.
There will also be tacos and sandwiches made with Dina’s homemade cookies, along with milkshakes, which you can add pieces of candy to. For now, there will only be the classics available in soft serve— vanilla, chocolate and of course, twist! Most of the products will be sourced locally from their friends at PDI Cones. For the future, they hope to expand their selection of treats to candies and confectionaries. On the tee shirt end, Reading tells me they will have men’s,
Tee Bar Continued from front page
women’s and youth sizes and designs. All shirts will be locally branded resort wear and some were printed locally as well! You will be able to enjoy your ice cream in the Retro Lounge, which has been one of DiPasquale’s projects. DiPasquale is already known for styling and designing many homes and businesses in the surrounding area and village. This is a whole new type of
project that DiPasquale has been thrilled to sink her teeth into! The Tee Bar: With a Twist will add about five new jobs to the village and they have an expected opening date of July 14. There will also be public WiFi so you can surf the internet while you chow down on some ice cream. I asked the ladies why now? They told me they had been
thinking about this business venture for a long time. They have owned the space for five years, so it only made sense with Katy’s moving that it was time to try it out. They also do not want to see a space sit empty, especially one that saw so much traffic before. Their hours in the summertime are expected to be 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. and they plan to say open come winter so customers can enjoy an après dinner treat. Be sure to find them on Facebook or on Instagram @
theteebar for the most up to date information on hours and their official opening. You can also use their official hashtag #theteebar when you go get your first tasty treat or tee! With these powerhouse ladies teaming up on this great new business, I have a feeling they may have lasting presence in our great little community— I know I cannot wait to finally have soft serve in the village!

From the slopes to the hot spots of EVL, you’ll find a wide selection of bands playing originals and covers all weekend long and when local favorites return to town after being away, it’s another great excuse to get out of the house and join the party.

of Keith’s most notable feats was appearing on season 6 of NBC’s “The Voice”. Since then, he’s gone on to do special events for the Buffalo Sabres, Bills, and many others in great local and regional venues. Add his talented band to the mix, and you won’t be disappointed! Capping off this fun-filled night will be a spectacular fireworks display over the waters of Quaker Lake! This year, patrons should plan on adjusting their viewing plans due to a change in the fireworks launch site location. It will be relocated to an area between the Quaker toll booth and the intersection of ASP 3 and Cain Hollow (see map). This is in compliance with Federal regulations restricting the distance fireworks can be launched from the newly established eagle’s nest in the area. The map depicts the best vantage points -both ends of the lake, a couple of areas on each side of the lake, as well as the Quaker Beach area. Patrons planning to view the fireworks at the beach should plan to arrive early as the parking lot has limited capacity and will be closed once it is full. In the spirit of cooperation, attendees are also asked to obey all designated “No Parking” zones. In addition, no drones will be permitted at this event. Be sure to check the Allegany State Park Facebook page for information. For those who can’t make it to this event, the annual Beach Party will be held on Aug.18. This fun-filled night of music and activities will also include a beautiful fireworks display over Quaker Lake. For more information contact the Quaker Rental office at (716) 354-2182.

SCENe Invites You to FREE Garden Walk July 8
Organized by the Springville Concord Elder Network (SCENe) Garden Club, more than two dozen gardens welcome the public on Saturday, July 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Get a map and guide book that day at Fiddlers Green Park Gazebo, located at N. Buffalo and Franklin Streets in Springville. The Garden Walk is held rain or shine. Jennifer Mantione, Program Manager with SCENe
7:00 PM
explains, “Last year was our first ever Garden Walk for the Springville area. Garden Club members thought it would be a fun event, and it was! Most of the 28 gardens participating this year are not members of the garden club, but simply homeowners or businesses willing to share their gardens with the public on this one day. It’s not a judged event, and there’s no criteria to be part of the Garden Walk except that they want to! Gardens this year really reflect that - some are very planned and manicured, and some run more toward the natural and wild side... some have lots of little artistic touches, and some include vegetables... some are small space and some ramble.... really something for everybody. SCENe garden club members solicit sponsorship to underwrite the costs of putting on the walk, and we are very grateful to have major sponsorship from
Waterman’s Greenhuse and Chevalier Outdoor Living this year. The Garden Walk is a great way to get out and meet people who enjoy gardening, and perhaps pick up some great ideas or even helpful hints from local neighbors familiar with the same challenges you might be facing in your own gardens.” Some photos from last year’s Garden Walk are available on SCENe’s website at www.communityalliance. org/current-programming The SCENe Garden Club always accepts new members, meeting monthly with additional “road trips” to enjoy other garden sites. They maintain several public spaces in the Springville area, and if you are interested in joining, please call club president Cindy Goode at 532-3692 or SCENe at 770-7277. If you’d possibly like to offer your garden as part of a future Garden Walk, email sceldernetwork@gmail.com.

Rodeo
Continued from front page
sanctioned rodeos in the Northeast. The fun-filled weekend will bring in more than 600 cowboys from all over the world who will compete in nine rodeo events, including: bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping, junior bull riding, cowgirls barrel racing, calf roping, cowgirl breakaway roping and bull riding. “Cowboys come from all over the world,” said John Kent, who owns and runs the rodeo with his wife, Karen. The rodeo will also feature a clown and trick riders, which Kent said are amazing to watch. “We have three trick riders that are coming in. It’s a mom and daughter and another little girl, 11 and 12 years old. They do a fantastic opener. It’s a big eye opener for other little kids. The horses are running full tilt. It’s quite an art to be able to do that. A lot of athletic ability is needed,” he said. But the fun doesn’t stop there. There is also a kid’s stick horse rodeo for children 10 and under. Parents can register their children when they enter the Tack Tent, and purchase a stick horse on-site. Gates for every show open two hours before the rodeo begins in order to allow guests extra time to come in and enjoy the homemade food, including a famous chicken BBQ.
“We do all the food here. Most people come and watch the rodeo, but what they really come for is the chicken BBQ,” said Kent. “We also have pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, and ice cream. Not every rodeo has ice cream, but Ellicottville does.” Guests can also browse through the craft vendors and stick around after the evening rodeo shows for fireworks. So with rodeo, a clown, trick riders, food, crafts and fireworks, what more could people possibly want? Nothing! According to Kent, some people love the rodeo so much they call to get their tickets six months in advance. “We have a huge following.
People love the rodeo here. Families count on coming here every year. I have people calling me in January and February lining up their tickets,” Kent said. “It’s quite something to see all those people coming. It’s great entertainment for the entire family.” There are only four days a year to witness an authentic rodeo right in Ellicottville. Don’t miss out on your chance for some good old-fashioned fun for the whole family. Shows will be held Thursday, June 29 through Saturday, July 1 at 7 p.m. with fireworks following the show. There will also be a show on Sunday, July 2 at 2 p.m. Gates open two hours before each show, and guests can come early to buy tickets on the day of the show. Pre-sale tickets, which are available until June 25, are $18 for adults. Regular admission is $20 for adults which includes ages 13 and up. Children 12 and under are $10 pre-sale, and $12 at the gate, Kids five and under are free.

the Ice Age. At the park the stone mixture is also referred to as “Panama Conglomerate” and made up of white quartz, tan colored flint and a rosyamber colored spar. All of the coves, crevices and openings found at Panama Rocks have been created naturally, over hundreds of years, after being subjected to repeated freezing, thawing and pressure while simultaneously being pulled downward by gravity. Following the Ice Age came much warmer temperatures during the Champlain Period where cypress and semitropical vegetation thrived. North American elephants and Mastodons roamed the land and much later, the late 1800s; remains of a Mastodon were discovered nearby just north of Jamestown, NY. Eventually, as time passed and climates changed further, the conditions were suitable for what we see at Panama Rocks today – trees like black ash, hemlocks and beech. With the passage of time, there is an amazing human history to be told and imagined as well. During the Stone Age, people likely sought shelter and protection in the caves and caverns. When visiting Panama Rocks, you can easily picture humans hunting abundant wildlife on the land and using the rock formations to keep fires from being extinguished and colder crevices to store meats and prevent them from rotting. According to the park’s website, Mound Builder arrowheads going back 3-5,000 years ago have been discovered at Panama Rocks. Native Americans fought French explorers when they arrived in the area and later the Allegany River Trail that passed below Panama Rocks became a much traveled route giving way to the Panama area’s growth as a community and bustling town. It is believed that, in the 1800s, the rocks at Panama were
used by outlaws to stash their loot. There are many stories and folklore found from the 1800s that are well published and also passed down from generations akin to stories of the “wild, wild west” many people are more familiar with hearing about. The human history surrounding and including the Panama Rocks area gives present day visitors a sense of adventure, curiosity and wanting to investigate and search for treasures bound to be discovered! Panama Rocks is set to host the Wild America Nature Festival July 29th and 30th this year and will feature nature artists including painters Thomas Paquette and Michael DiGiorgio, local food, live music and animals as well as nationally renowned authors Douglas Tallamy and Michael Phillips. There will be workshops available as well as activities for all ages. For more information visit http:// www.wildamericafest.com. Panama Rocks Park is open May-October 10 a.m.-5 p.m. with last entrance at 4 p.m. The mile-long hiking trail is relatively easy to navigate and most visitors enjoy venturing off the trail to explore more. Suitable footwear is highly recommended and the trail is not stroller or wheelchair friendly, there are tree roots, rocks and uneven ground throughout however a backpack style child carrier is do-able. No disposable items are allowed in the park to help protect the natural habitats and pets are not permitted. Day or Season passes are affordable and group discounted rates available. For more information visit www. panamarocks.com, e-mail panamajoe@panamarocks. com or call (716)782-2845. Panama Rocks is privately owned by hosts Craig and Sandra Weston.
This summer, Allegany State Park’s Environmental Education Department will offer hikes to view the rare Synchronous Fireflies – once thought to exist in only a handful of places in the world. The Photinus Carolinus species, also known as the Synchronous Firefly, flashes only from late June to midJuly. In 2012, the Firefly International Research and Education Team came to study the local firefly species, and confirmed its existence in the Branch Creek area of Allegheny National Forest.
After lead naturalist, Adele Wellman, and other volunteers and naturalists from Allegany State Park received the training necessary to identify the species, the park naturalists looked in similar habitats and were able to identify the Synchronous Firefly for its first confirmed sighting in New York State. Allegany State Park will offer the opportunity to view this special species, which flashes simultaneously in an apparent competition display to attract females. Please check out the park’s Facebook page
to see when firefly walks will be scheduled. In the event of severe thunderstorms, the event will be cancelled. However, the fireflies do display in rain and you may still observe them on your own if you wish. Displays are best observed in a dark mature forest in order to experience the full effect. For information on other programs, please check Allegany State Park’s activity schedule at www.facebook. com/alleganystatepark , or call (716) 354-9101 ext. 232.
Sky Lanterns are impressive to watch as they drift away into the night sky. Many people are unaware of the potentially fatal consequences the releasing of sky lanterns can have for wildlife and other animals. The metal can land in a hay field to be unexpectedly bailed up, given to livestock which can cut the livestock’s mouth as they feed on the hay. Other
wildlife has been known to get tangled up in this wire. These devices act like a small hot air balloon causing the lantern to rise. The lantern can unexpectedly settle on the ground, become trapped in a tree or land on a roof and create a serious fire/safety hazard. Due to international fire codes, they are banned in 29 states including New York State.
Panama Rocks is an area treasure for all nature lovers, hikers, and geology and history nerds alike! Located 15 minutes from Bemus Point in Chautauqua County, Panama Rocks is an adventure waiting to happen. The open season runs from May through October each year and, according to the park’s website, Panama Rocks has been ranked Chautauqua County’s No. 1 rated attraction by TripAdvisor for five years running. Whether you are looking to spend an hour or an afternoon, a family or couple or just a big kid at heart, Panama Rocks has something special that you have to see and experience to believe. The park was established in 1885 by George Hubbard and originally called the “Rock Farm.” Sightseers from as far as the Buffalo area would travel by railroad to nearby Ashville, then seven miles by stagecoach, to check out the unique jungle-like scenery. Rock formations that rise to 1,650 feet above sea level create many coves and deep cavernous dens that invite curious exploration for anyone wanting to venture off of the present-day mile long hiking trail. As word spread back in the day, the Rock Farm quickly became a popular destination for lovers who could sneak into any one of the many niches to steal a kiss, away from onlookers. Like Niagara Falls today, Panama Rocks soon became a cool honeymoon destination for newlyweds as captured by photographer Fred L. Yeager throughout his lifetime. Panama Rocks tells a captivating geologic story going back hundreds of millions of years ago. The formations of Panama Rocks boast one of the most extensive half mile long specimens of ocean quartz conglomerate in the world, cut by glaciers during

Sky Lanterns Not Permitted in NYS
The Office of Fire Prevention and Control say they meet the definition of Recreational Fires, as defined in Section 302.1 of the Fire Code and consequently, these devices require constant attendance as required in Section 307.5 of the Fire Code. Sky lanterns cannot be constantly attended and thus present a violation of the Fire Code of New York State.

Camping Continued from front page
Head to Allegany State Park (ASP) for a hotbed of camping activities. ASP is New York’s largest state park, and boasts hundreds of camp sites and cabins on a variety of trails. There are even full-service cottages that include bathrooms for those who want to try camping but not quite ready to give up the comforts of home. Try to sneak in a couple nights before school lets out when the park isn’t as busy, or make plans to get there in the summer when there is an abundance of planned activities. Starting in late June and running through Labor Day weekend, visitors can enjoy a full schedule of programs during the week, such as guided hikes and educational programs. Each week, an artist in residence is featured, performing throughout the week around the park, and don’t miss Sally Marsh’s Thursday night Hootenanny sing-along at the Quaker Amphitheater, an ASP tradition. Of course, there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing, boating and laying low by the beach, as ASP offers amazing lakes, scenery and 65,000 acres to explore. For more information, visit www.reserveamerica. com. Letchworth State Park also offers cabins and camp sites, and variety of other activities, the highlight of which include hiking along the gorge rim and checking out views of the three major waterfalls.

If you’re like me and think that there’s no better way to spend a summer weekend than waking up late, breathing in the fresh air, hiking, biking, kayaking and filling the day with active, non-electronic fun, then ending the evening with a campfire and great conversation, then camping is for you. The season is short, so don’t miss out on your chance to go this season!

village of Springville. Still called Liberty Corners by some, it’s the intersection of Routes 240 and 39. According to Briggs, Original History of the Town of Concord, the celebration was quite the event. “Officers would be chosen, a procession formed orations by prominent pioneers and recitation of the Declaration of Independence occurred before the liberty pole would be raised and the flag unfurled.” Guns were fired off and drums and fifes played in celebration. Briggs tells of an even more interesting event— a variety of the areas residents would be given titles after other military and civic heroes of the day. The average pioneer from Concord would be given the title “General Knox” or “Governor Smith” for the day. It was quite an honor in the community. Interestingly enough, these names would stick with the people for many years after the fact. Briggs tells of “Governor Smith” and a friend going to the tavern on Townsend Hill and having several drinks. There happened to be an Indian in the tavern and he joined them. After a few more drinks, the Indian asked if he was the real Governor Smith of New York State. The “Governor” replied, “No not New York, just Dutch Hollow.” For many years, the celebrations would continue like this with the liberty pole being moved to Main Street. Local newspapers reported that, in 1872, the Republicans raised a liberty pole on the corner of what is now Mill and Pearl Streets. Not without the diversity issues of today, that same night, the Ku Klux Klan tore the pole down. Amazingly, our country endured and the celebrations would get more elaborate. The celebration in 1910 must have been one of Springville’s finest. The committee in charge announced that donations from residents were “very liberal” that year and the all planned activities could go forward. The events included bands arriving in town by train starting as early as 6:30 a.m. In that year, the celebrated Bradford Italian Band was the main feature, led by Prof. Alexander Roumaldi. Other bands that came to town were from Arcade, Collins Center, and East Otto. The day started with athletic activities on Main Street at 9 a.m., and then the first of two balloon ascensions and parachute drop by Prof.
Peter C. Haines at South Central Avenue. The day included a ball game between Springville and Collins Center, a huge parade in which everyone was invited to join in, the traditional patriotic exercises at Godard Hall, horse and motorcycle races at Dygert’s Driving Park in the afternoon. The second of Prof. Haines’ parachute drops concluded before the firstever automobile parade in Springville. The parade route was a zig-zag through the entire village at the time. It started at the Dygert’s Driving Park, continued down Myrtle Avenue to Main Street and the followed Main to Waverly to Albro down Woodward to Buffalo Street, then turned and went to Franklin Street to Park Street to Cochran and down Main Street to Pearl Street. It must have been a dusty affair; all the streets were still dirt at that time. The Bradford Italian Band closed out the day with a concert in Fiddler’s Green Park before a huge firework display was lit off by the water works pond. By 1916 and 1917, most of the events were held at the Dygert’s Driving Park with many horse races going on and even a tournament lacrosse game between teams from Salamanca. Many of the surrounding towns had said that they were not having fireworks that year. It is unknown if it was a war concern or a fire issue. In the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, festivities would be held at Cascade Park. In one story during the Fourth Community Picnic at the park, a greased pig competition was held. The winner would take the pig, a $50 value. With the completion of the Community Ball Park on Buffalo Road, the festivities moved there with ball games and fireworks in the 1950s through the 1970s. There was a lull in Springville’s Fourth Celebrations for a number of years with residents having to go to other communities to see fireworks. About 20 years ago, the village and town decided to renew the annual Fourth of July softball game and fireworks. The celebration of the United States Declaration Independence will continue in Springville at Community Park with Gene Hilts playing at 5 p.m., refreshments available and fireworks at dusk.
