Free Thursday Concerts at the Gazebo thru Aug. 4 One of the best things about summer in Ellicottville might just be the Gazebo concert series hosted by the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. For many years, the Chamber has invited visitors and locals alike to bring their blankets and picnics, lounge on the grounds of the village/ town hall and laze away the evening listening to free, live music played from the iconic gazebo. So set your evenings aside on the next four Thursdays and enjoy a diverse lineup of music from 7 to 9 p.m. On July 14, chill out with Old Hippies on July 14. Travel through time with a variety of acoustic versions of covers spanning the 1950s through the 70s. On July 21, kick back with Pirate Dreams, performing their brand of tropical rock that will make you feel like you’re at the beach. Judd Sunshine brings his huge repertoire to the gazebo July 28. Judd has been entertaining audiences of all ages with his blend of music from the 1940s, all the way to today’s hits. While he tickles the ivories and sings the hits, you are bound to hear your favorites from a variety of styles, including jazz standards, classic rock, blues, country and bluegrass. On Aug. 4, the concert series closes out with Buffalobased Celtic and world music artists, Stone Row. Travel the world without leaving your seat! Love the lineup?

Letter to the Editor THANK YOU We wish to thank everyone who attended the Celebration of Life event for Patti Perks, held June 12 at the American Legion in Ellicottville. Patti lost her battle with cancer back in February, and this event was a wonderful way for all of us to remember her positive spirit, to celebrate the life she lived and all that she loved, and to say our ďŹ nal goodbyes. It was a very special day for our family, and it meant the world to us to see so many familiar faces there that day. The support we received was more than we would have ever anticipated – a true testament to the amazing community in which we live, work and play. We would especially like to thank all the businesses and individuals who contributed in one way or another to the event – whether it was donating food or your time to help prep for the event, donating items for the rafes, helping to sell tickets, our emcee, the live band, and just the overall presence of so many friends and family. Proceeds were not only used to alleviate remaining expenses related to Patti’s illness and death, but we also honored Patti’s love of gardening and the outdoors by donating $1,000 to the Ellicottville Nannen Arboretum. A Memorial Walkway brick in memory of Patti has also been purchased, and we look forward to it being installed in the Arboretum soon. It was a beautiful Celebration of Life – a perfect day ďŹ t for our beloved Patti. Thanks again to all of you for your kindness. It will forever be remembered. - The Family of Patti Perks

This event features a world-class 10-mile course of searing single track and endless mountain bike racing action. Solo and two-person tag teams compete for awards and prizes in the regions most demanding, white knuckle, lung burning mountain bike race known in these parts. Riders from several surrounding states and Canada vie for bragging rights testing themselves and others at 6HOP. Race format: At 10 a.m., the gun goes off, sending riders out on foot in a LeMans-style running start to separate the pack. After, the short run riders mount and proceed on the course for a 1-mile climbing sprint near the top of the mountain. Enter single-track and plenty of it! Roughly six miles of manicured single track greets racers featuring a few recovery/ gravel sections and two water/ aid stations before the descent back to the transition area to go back for more. We are proud to introduce the brand new flow-trail into
this year’s race. The final two miles is new trail and what a great descent it is! At 4 p.m., finishing times start being recorded and the leaderboard tells the story of the day’s accomplishments. Post-race pasta party, giant raffle and awards ceremony round out a day in Ellicottville fit for today’s endurance mountain bike racer. T-shirts are guaranteed for all pre-registered and as they last on race-day.

There are no skill levels in 6HOP-just bring the power and see how you stack! For more info, visit heartrateup.com.

Carbs are highly controversial these days. The dietary guidelines suggest that we get about half of our calories from carbohydrates. On the other hand, some claim that carbs cause obesity and type 2 diabetes, and that most people should be avoiding them. There are good arguments on both sides, and it appears that carbohydrate requirements depend largely on the individual. Some people do better with a lower carb intake, while others do just fine eating plenty of carbs. What Are Carbs? Carbs, or carbohydrates, are molecules that have carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. In nutrition, “carbs” refers to one of the three macronutrients. (The other two are protein and fat.) Dietary carbohydrates can be split into three main categories: • Sugars: Sweet, short-chain carbohydrates found in foods. Examples are glucose, fructose, galactose and sucrose. • Starches: Long chains of glucose molecules, which eventually get broken down into glucose in the digestive system. • Fiber: Humans can not digest fiber, although the bacteria in the digestive system can make use of some of them. The main purpose of carbs
in the diet is to provide energy. Most carbs get broken down or transformed into glucose, which can be used as energy. Carbs can also be turned into fat (stored energy) for later use. Fiber is an exception. It does not provide energy directly, but it does feed the friendly bacteria in the digestive system. These bacteria can use the fiber to produce fatty acids that some of our cells can use as energy. Sugar alcohols are also classified as carbohydrates. They taste sweet, but usually don’t provide many calories. Bottom line: Carbs are one of the three macronutrients. The main types of dietary carbohydrates are sugars, starches and fiber. “Whole” vs “Refined” Carbs Not all carbs are created equal. There are many different types of carbohydratecontaining foods, and they vary greatly in their health effects. Although carbs are often referred to as “simple” versus “complex,” I personally find “whole” versus “refined” to make more sense. Whole carbs are unprocessed and contain the fiber found naturally in the food, while refined carbs have been processed and had the natural fiber stripped out. Examples of whole carbs include vegetables, whole fruit, legumes, potatoes and whole grains. These foods are generally healthy. On the other hand, refined carbs include sugar-sweetened beverages, fruit juices, pastries, white bread, white pasta, white rice and others. These carbs tend to cause major spikes in blood sugar levels, which leads to a subsequent crash that can trigger hunger and cravings for more high-carb food. This is the “blood sugar roller coaster” that many people are familiar with. Refined carbohydrate foods
are usually also lacking in essential nutrients. In other words, they are “empty” calories. Bottom Line: Not all carbs are created equal. Refined carbs are associated with obesity and metabolic diseases, but unprocessed carbohydrate foods are very healthy. However, it makes no sense to demonize all carbohydratecontaining foods because of the health effects of their processed counterparts. To say carbs are the cause of obesity is just purely myth. Humans have been eating carbs for thousands of years, in some form or another. The obesity epidemic started around 1980, and the type 2 diabetes epidemic followed soon after. Blaming new health problems on something that we’ve been eating for a very long time simply doesn’t make sense. Keep in mind that many populations have remained in excellent health while eating a high-carb diet, such as the Okinawans, Kitavans and Asian rice eaters. What they all had in common was that they ate real, unprocessed foods. However, populations that eat a lot of refined carbohydrates and processed foods tend to be sick and unhealthy. Bottom Line: Humans have been eating carbs since long before the obesity epidemic, and there are many examples of populations that have remained in excellent health while eating diets high in carbs. How to Make The Right Choices As a general rule, carbs that are in their natural, fiber-rich form are healthy, while those that have been stripped of their fiber are not. If it’s a whole, single ingredient food, then it’s probably a healthy food for most people, no matter what the carbohydrate content is.

Seven Area Nonprofits
Receive Community Foundation Grants Seven area nonprofit organizations recently received a total of $2,276 in grants from three different donor-designated funds at the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation. The Paul and Mary Janowicz Fund provided three grants of $150 each to three organizations selected by the fund advisors. The recipient organizations were the Great Valley Volunteer Fire Department, the Marie Lorenz Dialysis Center Fund at the Olean General Hospital Foundation and the Olean Public Library. This fund also provides scholarships to graduating seniors at Ellicottville Central
School. Paul and Betty Hanson of Olean established the fund in 2014 in memory of Betty’s parents, Paul and Mary Janowicz. The Kothari Family Endowment Fund, which also provides scholarships to students entering health care fields of study, made possible a $1,000 grant to the Olean General Hospital Foundation and a $250 grant to the Olean Food Pantry. Drs. Ashok and Yogi Kothari of Allegany established this endowment in 2007. The Beth Todd Memorial Fund provided $576 to Cancer Services of Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties. Beth’s husband, Greg Todd,
established the fund with the foundation in 2013 after Beth succumbed to a 13-year battle of breast cancer. Since its establishment, the fund has supported area cancer patients in memory of the Portville native. “Our donor-designated endowed funds provide annual, perpetual support to the nonprofit organizations selected by the donors,” said Karen Niemic Buchheit, CRCF executive director. “Through this grant process these organizations can count on this support to help with operations or special projects each and every year.”

Golf has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. All six of my older brothers played. My dad’s nickname was Putt. I’m still not sure if it was because he was that adept on the greens or because he always seemed to have gas. There were always several sets of old clubs in the garage, and as early as I can recall I had some that were cut short and re-gripped for me to use. My brothers and I would play around the yard, picking different targets to try and see who could get the ball closest, including trying to hit lob shots into our house’s chimney. We ended up with a couple new windows every year. At least once a week, we would walk through the woods surrounding the local course and hunt for balls. Several times each summer we would sneak onto the links as it was getting dark and jump into the pond in front of old number 3. We would always leave with at least a couple hundred balls. Looking at that pond now, I can’t believe I ever set foot in it. Maybe I’ve just been in California too long. One of my brothers has several thousand balls in his basement, some dating back
to the seventies. I’m pretty sure he’s never bought a ball in his life. Those of you who know my family don’t have to try very hard to guess which brother. I’m talking about Dale. My oldest cousin Ronny would have a “shotgun start” tournament every year called the Dunkleman Open, where he would actually shoot a shotgun at the start. As a little kid, I remember bags of clubs and coolers of beer flying off the back of colliding carts, some of which would occasionally end up being driven into a creek or pond. There’s only one course in the area that would still allow him to host the outing. Of course, golf’s crowning achievement is the “hole in one.” When I was 17, I was playing in a high school match at my home course. I used a three-iron to tee off on the 189yard number 5. I skulled it, hitting a low shot that bounced about three or four times before reaching the green. I didn’t even watch the ball. I just started laughing at what an awful swing it was. When we got up to the green, I couldn’t find my ball. After searching for a few minutes, one of the kids on the opposing team finally looked in the cup and there it was. My first holein-one! Nobody says it has to be pretty, it still gets added up the same on the card. The rush that went through my body was indescribable. A game that I had been playing for as long as I could remember – and I finally had my first hole-in-one. I couldn’t wait to rub it in all my older brother’s faces. When I got up to the next tee, I was shaking so hard I
could barely hold onto my driver. Somehow I managed to calm myself down and parred the last four holes. I shot the best nine-hole round of my life – 34. I bounded up to the clubhouse with such excitement and pride, but when I saw my coach he had a look of disgust on his face. I had been disqualified from the match. I had gotten to the course early that day after school and decided that since I had some time, I’d play a couple holes. The opposing coach saw me playing as he pulled up to the course. Apparently there was a rule that none of the golfers were allowed to play any of the holes before the match started, and he called me on it after I finished my round as medalist. Even though his five players took second through sixth place and crushed us in the match, he insisted my disqualification be upheld. Now, I’m not saying I wished physical harm on that guy, but I did hope he’d get uncomfortable diarrhea for a decade. The worst part? The next day in the sports page of the big area newspaper, a headline read: “Dunkleman’s Hole-in-One Doesn’t Count.” In retrospect, maybe that was just a life lesson I was supposed to learn from. Maybe it happened to prepare me for all the ups and downs that would come later in my life. Maybe it would make me come to realize that no matter what other people do or say, nobody can ever take away the things I’ve accomplished. But then again, maybe that guy was just a jerk. Either way, I’m still swinging.
HV Ducky Derby Raises Money for Charity Every Saturday and Sunday of the summer, the Holiday Valley pool lifeguards host the Ducky Derby. Numbered rubber ducks are sold for $1 each. The ducks are sent down the slide at the activity pool into the water. Kids sit on the edge of the pool kicking their feet to send the ducks across the pool to the finish line. The owner of the first place duck receives half of the money in the form of a Holiday Valley gift card and the other half is donated to a charity.

The Body Language of Hands and Mouths Gianna Putrino’s large-scale, 4 ft. X 4 ft. drawings of hands and mouths are the subject of the show titled “Anxiety Series,” opening at the Olean Public Library Art Gallery on Thursday, July 7, 2016. The free opening reception from 6 - 8 p.m. is sponsored by the Friends of the Olean Public Library and is open to the public. The exhibit runs through August 4, 2016. Putrino considers herself to be a realistic, figurative artist. Explaining her choice of hands and mouths as subjects, Putrino says, “I have always admired the human body and the use of body language to convey messages and emotions. I believe that emotion is intensified when focused on particular areas of the body, such as hands and mouths.”
She goes on to say, “I plan to continue my exploration of identity and emotion through analyzing the human body as I advance on this journey of self-discovery and hopefully provoke an internal exploration within my viewers.” This show is one of a series of library exhibits administered
by the Olean Public Library and the Cattaraugus County Arts Council. The Olean Public Library Art Gallery is located at 134 North 2nd Street in Olean, and the hours are Mondays through Thursdays 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Fridays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sundays 1 to 4 p.m.

Catt Co. Fair Continued from front page
The Agriculture Center is a must-see part of the fair, as the animal shows are an anticipated annual event. Proud 4-H students demonstrate their hard work in raising, grooming, handling, and presenting their animals before a panel of judges. Fairgoers can tour the agriculture barns and meet students’ goats, donkeys, mules, rabbits, sheep, chickens and more throughout the week of the fair. The fair also celebrates such agricultural achievements as home-grown vegetables, flowers, canned goods and other farm products; county residents will bring their best for the judges to examine and sample before the first day of the fair. Daily General Admission includes an all-day gate pass and unlimited midway rides. A variety of daily entertainment is included in general admission; visitors can look forward to new attractions at this year’s fair, as well as the return of last year’s favorite performers. New for 2016, Brunon Blaszak’s Royal Bengal Tigers will be performing throughout the day. Blaszak is a third generation tiger trainer who will be working with his mother, Ada Smieya-Blaszak, who is a professional trainer and graduate of the Polish State Circus School. Commerford’s Petting Zoo is returning to the fair this year with their exotic animals: visit the camels, ponies and kangaroos all day throughout the week of the fair. The Swifty Swine Racing and Swimming Pigs will also be a part of this year’s fair—according to “Swine Master” Zach Johnson: “You haven’t lived until you’ve seen these racing pigs compete for the grand prize, an Oreo cookie!”
During the first three days of the fair, evening grandstand entertainment (nightly at 7:30 p.m.) is included in the price of general admission. On Monday, the Demolition Derby takes place and on Tuesday, fair-goers can enjoy a night of Drag Racing. Cars return to the race track on Wednesday for JM Motorsport Productions’ Double Figure 8 races, with the winner capturing a $1,000 cash prize and a championship trophy! Interested drivers can be a part of the action on Wednesday night by contacting JM Motorsport Productions at (716) 980-6533 or visiting www.jmderby.com. The fair kicks off the long weekend of exciting grandstand entertainment on Thursday, when country star Dustin Lynch, with special guest Jordan Rager, will be performing live at 8 p.m. Known for his mega hits “Cowboys and Angels,” “Hell of a Night,” and “Where It’s At,” Lynch is one of the leading voices in country music’s newest generation of stars. Tickets to see this platinumselling artist are still available! Ticket prices are $38 for track seating, $33 for bleachers, and $30 for grandstand seating and can be purchased at the

stitch quilts as a “universal symbol and token of thanks, solace and remembrance to those who serve in harm’s way to protect and defend our lives and freedoms.” Quilts are hand cut, hand pieced and hand stitched by volunteers across the country. Brown’s quilt was made by a volunteer in California. Each one is unique and designed by the volunteers. The presentation will be
made by Martha Levin, a retired Army nurse of 31 years of active duty and reserve time served mostly at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. She nominated Alan Brown for the honor after meeting his mother, Jeanne Brown, through her cousin Betsy Peyser, who lives in Ellicottville. Levin said the quilts are “made in hopes of bringing comfort to the family or service
member for their sacrifice to their country. It is a real honor to present a Quilt of Honor, and it is an honor to receive one.” The presentation will be made at 7 p.m. at the Ellicottville American Legion. All are welcomed to attend. It also happens to be Taco Tuesday at the Legion. Feel free to come at 6 p.m. for a delicious taco (for just $3.50) and stay for the award.

Randolph Serves Up Treasures, Parades and More All Summer
By Mary Heyl
Summer is in full swing in the historic village of Randolph, and every weekend provides something fun to do for visitors of all ages. Take advantage of sunny days and warm evenings by heading to Randolph, which is just twenty minutes south of Ellicottville on Route 242. Whether one is looking to buy a unique treasure or spend a fun afternoon with the family, Randolph offers a variety of events this summer. Bargain lovers, rejoice! Randolph’s famous Town Wide Lawn Sales are taking place this Friday, July 8 and Saturday, July 9. Throughout the community, dozens of families will be hosting lawn and garage sales during the weekend, when one just might find a special treasure or two for a great price. Not sure where to begin your day? Pick up the Town Wide Lawn Sale map, which includes the addresses of participating homes, at one of these locations: the Welcome Center of the Randolph Municipal Building, Countryside Wine & Spirits, Inkley’s Pharmacy, Randolph Retail Company and Yarn for Ewe. Maps will be available at these locations on both Friday and Saturday. The following weekend, the Randolph Volunteer Fire Department will be hosting the 82nd Annual Cattaraugus County Volunteer Firefighters Association Convention on Friday and Saturday, July 15 and 16.

Throughout the afternoon, demonstrations, recruitment and other family activities will be taking place at the fire hall from noon to 4 p.m. The Convention concludes with a banquet, memorial service and award ceremony at the Randolph Fire Hall at 5 p.m. The public is welcome to join in at 8:30 p.m. for live music, dancing and refreshments. Volunteer firefighters and others interested in marching in the parade are welcome! Contact Howard Honey at (716) 640-4683 for more information. Then, mark your calendars for a brand new community event sponsored by the Randolph Area Community Development Corporation this summer – the Randolph Area Veterans’ Appreciation Day on Saturday, August 13! The celebration begins at 10:30 a.m. with a parade along Main Street to honor all veterans. Area veterans who have served and those who are currently serving are
encouraged to participate. If you have a family member/ veteran who is deceased, is currently on active duty, or is otherwise unable to attend the parade, please feel free to have one family member bring a large photo of your veteran (8” x 10”) to carry and march with the rest of the veterans along the parade route. Parade line-up begins at 10 a.m. at the truck stop (7-Eleven parking lot). Floats are welcome to participate, but not fire trucks/emergency vehicles. If you’re a veteran who is unable to walk the parade route, please contact the RACDC at (716) 358-9701 ext. 208 by Friday, August 5 so arrangements can be made to ride on a wagon/trailer that day. The parade will conclude at the Randolph Fire Hall, where lunch will be served to all veterans. For more information about Randolph businesses and upcoming events, visit www.EnjoyRandolph.org.

there are no animal welfare organizations that can offer help in our region, so the only remaining option was to find a way to take on the task with local volunteers. The technique they have chosen to use is the trap/ neuter/return (TNR) approach, where cats and kittens are humanely caught, sterilized, given basic medical care and certain vaccines and then returned to their original colony or environment. The strategy reduces population growth over multiple feline generations. According to Wikipedia, “TNR is endorsed by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) as ‘the most humane, effective and financially sustainable strategy for controlling free-roaming cat populations’ and ‘the only proven humane and effective method to manage feral cat colonies.’ The Humane Society of the United States has also endorsed ‘community-based TNR programs with on-going responsible management as the most viable, long-
term approach available at this time to reduce feral cat populations.’” This is only the beginning of a long-term program, said Ellicottville’s Teresa Wagner, who, with Peyser and Melanie Pritchard, is spearheading the effort. Although there is no way to know how long it might take, the group is ready to take 6-8 nights, or more, to trap a significant number of animals. The plan is to start trapping in August and continue until it’s too cold for an animal to stay in a trap overnight. The next step in the process is to transport the cats and kittens to veterinarian Tim O’Leary from the Almost Home Animal Sanctuary in Little Valley, who has agreed to spay/neuter them and provide basic veterinary care, including rabies and distemper vaccinations. Wagner said that Dr. O’Leary will keep the animals for about 24 hours to be certain they have recovered from their procedures. Then, volunteers will return the cats to where they were found. The group also would like to
continue caring for the animals year-round. That involves searching for new litters and possibly building a feeding station. Of course, this all requires funding. While the labor for this first phase is being donated, supplies, food and medicines will cost $60 per animal. To that end, a fundraising event is being held on Friday, August 5 at 6 p.m. at the Ellicottville Town Center. The fundraiser will include food, drinks, music, door prizes, a Chinese auction and a 50/50 raffle for a $10 donation at the door. If you can’t make it to the fundraiser, there are still many ways to help – by volunteering to help or making a donation. Wagner also says the group needs to borrow humane animal traps (e.g. Havahart) to use throughout the project. Traps will be returned. To donate, volunteer, loan a trap or offer other assistance, please contact Peyser at 6996131, Wagner at 699-8345 or Pritchard at 699-4800.

‘Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are’
by Frans De Waal Smart Animals Are” by Frans De Waal What separates your mind from an animal’s? Maybe you think it’s your ability to design tools, your sense of self, or your grasp of past and future—all traits that have helped us define ourselves as the planet’s preeminent species. But in recent decades, these claims have eroded, or even been disproven outright, by a revolution in the study of animal cognition. People often assume a cognitive ladder, from lower to higher forms, with our own intelligence at the top. But what if it is more like a bush, with cognition taking different forms that are often incomparable to ours? Would you presume yourself dumber than a squirrel because you’re less adept at recalling the locations of hundreds of buried acorns? Or would you judge your perception of your surroundings as more sophisticated than that of an echolocating bat? De Waal reviews the rise and fall of the mechanistic view of animals and opens our minds to the idea that animal minds are far more intricate and complex than we have assumed. De Waal’s landmark work will convince you to rethink everything you thought you knew about animal—and human—intelligence. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access over 14,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Kirk Stauffer, Professional at Pine Acres Country Club, shot a 5 under par 70 for a score of 65 to win the professional individual prize. Second place was awarded to Holiday Valley’s Steven Carney with a score of 72. The tournament format was 2 best balls of 4. First in the team results with a score of 117 was Park Country Club’s Professional, Eddie Suchora and his team of Scott Dodson, Jim Carls and Mike Wimer. The second place team with a score of 124 was Holiday Valley’s Steve Carney and his team of Franco Brady (Holiday Valley’s Food and Beverage General Manager), Kevin Murray and Larry Dominesi. Third place went to Joe Bock from Seneca Hickory Stick, Joe Wright, Dana Hall and Marc Caster with a score of 126. The day included lunch at the half-way point hosted by Library volunteers, and then wrapped up with a dinner in the Main Lodge. The Pro Am is the Library’s largest fundraiser of the year. Presenting Sponsor was Kelar Atlantic, LLC and Shults Automotive Group was a major sponsor. Shults donated a Toyota Corolla which was raffled off and won by Diane Hall.

Help Stop Invasive Species July 10-16 This year marks the third Invasive Species Awareness Week (ISAW) in New York State and groups across western New York are sponsoring activities July 10 - 16. Some of the greatest harm to our environment and agriculture is caused by invasive plants and animals - organisms that have been accidentally or intentionally introduced to new areas and spread uncontrollably. Last year, over 100 invasive species activities occurred throughout the state and this year the Western New York PRISM region is poised and ready with a lineup of even more great activities and events to mark the occasion. Everyone is encouraged to participate in Awareness Week activities to learn about important steps to take to protect their favorite natural areas. Most invasive species reproduce in high numbers, lack predators and are highly adapted to their new environment. Invasive species can be costly to homeowners, affect human health or vastly change an ecosystem. Examples of invasive species found in WNY include emerald ash borer, giant hogweed, and Japanese stiltgrass. Citizens can help manage and control invasive species; they often are the first line of defense in reporting new infestations, such as observing and reporting signs and symptoms of forest-pest damage, and in participating in the removal of invasive plants. Organizations throughout the state are working together to help slow the spread of invasive species. Check out these events at Allegany State Park: Tuesday, July 12 Creepy Crawlies…Hemlock Wooly Adelgid Hike at Allegany SP, Salamanca, NY (10 a.m.to noon): Meet at the entrance to the Mt. Tuscarora hiking trail near the Quaker entrance for a hike and discussion about the hemlock woolly adelgid, an invasive insect found in some of Allegany’s hemlock trees. Friday, July 15 Bad Bugs, Allegany State Park (1 to 2 p.m.): Learn about a really bad bug, emerald ash borer and what it is doing to our trees. Meet at Macintosh Cabin 4, Red House Area. For more info, call (716) 354-9101.
