IBO’s Grand Finale, Aug. 4-9 HV Resort Setting Ideal

The “grand finale” of the International Bowhunting Organization’s (IBO) outdoor season will double as both a championship event and a time for shooters and their families to enjoy their summer. Set at Holiday Valley,
Experience a Simpler Way of Life Visit the New York Amish Trail By Mary Heyl
Aug. 4-9, the IBO World Championship is the last event for the shooting season in an ideal vacation setting. “This is our last event, where everyone comes together for a good time,” said IBO President Brian Marcum. “It’s a good time for the families to get together, take a vacation and really just enjoy the event.” Marcum said the organization tries to make its final event different from the other tournaments throughout the year, making sure it’s “special.” Because families usually use vacation time to attend the world championship, the organization typically looks at resort settings like Holiday Valley, which is “one of our shooters’ favorite locations,” Marcum said. “The shooters look forward to coming to the
Summer is the perfect time of year to plan a visit to Western New York’s Amish Trail, where visitors can experience this simpler way of life in the scenic setting of Cattaraugus County’s hillsides.

Mary Klahn, reports that Dunkfest 2015, the annual Dunkleman family reunion, had very special meaning this year. The weekend started off with the Saturday, July 18 wedding of Joelle Dunkleman to Baker Street, son of Peter (deceased) and Beckie, who resides in North Carolina. Joelle is the daughter of Joan and Bob Scharf. The wedding with family and friends took place at the Scharf’s home on Sommerville Valley Road. It was a wonderful celebration full of great food and dancing into the night. Congratulations to Joelle and Baker on their new journey. Then on Sunday, the family held a bridal shower for Allen

As is its tradition, the family celebrated its matriarch’s birthday as Jane Dunkleman turned 86. All felt blessed to have Gramma Jane and all “10� of her children in one place once again this year. The Dunklemans welcome Baker and remind him: “We’re not friends, we’re family.�

Hot Music, Cool Sculptures Griffis Hosts Summer Festival Aug. 16 By Alicia Dziak
Spend an afternoon with music, art and fun in one of the area’s most unique settings. Griffis Sculpture Park hosts the third annual Summer Festival on Sunday, Aug. 16, from noon to 7 p.m., and this year’s festival—held rain or shine— once again promises to be an event to remember. The festival, on the grounds of the 400-acre park, will feature musical performances from some of the region’s best musicians, tours of the park, children’s crafts and activities, artists creating works, and much more. The music lineup includes two sets by Workingman’s Dead (Grateful Dead cover band), The Observers (folk, acoustic), Cosmic Kat (jazz, funk, R&B and pop, with a twist) and the Sly Boots School of Music (African drum and performance-based session). Don’t forget to bring the kids, as there will be plenty of fun for them too. “We will be doing a creative button tree activity for the kids this year — we will use the scenery for inspiration!” explained Nila Griffis, executive director of the Ashford Hollow Foundation, which owns and operates Griffis Sculpture Park and the

What a difference a few weeks can make in Western New York! Literally just two articles ago, I was trying to convince readers to get outside despite the rain and cool temps. Now, we are in the throes of a heat wave. Summer means time to take your routine outside. But, what about these extreme temps? Here are some tips to staying cool in the hot summer weather. Running on a 90-degree day may seem like self-inflicted torture, but according to Christopher Minson, Ph. D., and the director of the Human Cardiovascular Control Lab at the University of Oregon, “Athletes use exercising in the heat as a secret weapon, because it can improve their cardiovascular function, helping them to perform better year-round.” Minson studies the effect on cyclists and found that those who trained for 10 days in heat close to 100-degree temps rode faster with less perceived effort that those in a control group. However, it
was important to practice safesweat tips to actually enjoy the ride or run in the sun. First, you need to build a tolerance. Immediately after you exercise in high temperatures, your body produces special protective proteins that go to work reducing inflammation and repairing cellular breakdown from dehydration and small muscle tears, making you stronger and more tolerant of heat and stress after every workout. The key is to acclimate yourself over time. Minson says that you should spend a few days progressively increasing your heat exposure. Within a couple of weeks, your performance, blood volume and lactate threshold (measure of how fit you are) will improve. Eventually, Minson says, the heat will not feel as hot. However, not everyone who is trying to exercise during the heat of the summer is looking for these benefits. Many are just looking to get in some outdoor time and get fit along the way. For those athletes, here are some tips to stay cool on a hot summer day. 1. Ice Down. Keep a full water bottle in the freezer. Before heading out for a run, hike or walk, grab it and carry it with you. “Holding something cold helps you feel cooler,” says ultra trail runner Adam Chase, the captain of Team Salomon, based in Boulder, Colorado. 2. Shower before you go. “Precooling is a technique
athletes regularly use,” says George Havenith, Ph.D., an expert in human thermophysiology at Loughborough University in the U.K. By lowering your body temperature before you exercise in the extreme heat, you can typically go longer than an athlete who has not. This is a tip I personally use before I teach my 6:30 a.m. boot camp classes. The cool (not ice cold) water not only invigorates my mind, but also increases blood flow to the skin, such as your head, under arms and wrists and groin area, which all help to keep your core temperature down. 3. Double your drinking. To keep from becoming dehydrated, drink 12 ounces of H2O before you hit the road. While exercising, drink water every 15 minutes to stay on top of your hydration. Switch to a drink with potassium and sodium, such as Gatorade® if you are exercising for longer than an hour, because your body loses those electrolytes through sweat. 4. And finally, wear a heart rate monitor. For hot-weather workouts, you want to keep your heart rate at or below 85% of the max, according the American Heart Association; this is not the time to push your intensity, so check your heart rate monitor. So, don’t let the rising mercury dissuade you from getting outside. Just take the right steps to keep your cool and enjoy the summer!
Kustom Kruise-In VII GHD Celebrates Classic American Iron By Daniel Meyer
Essex Arts Center on the West Side of Buffalo. In addition, Griffis noted, “We will have a few painters and local artisans — including a soap artist.” Guests are welcome to bring a small cooler and picnic by the stage, or indulge in tasty fare from the food vendors. “We are actually in talks with a few different food trucks to see if they can make the climb to the top of the hill and we will also provide BBQ items - burgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers and veggie hot dogs as well as a plethora of snack items,” said Griffis. Park goers can also take in the 250 sculptures that reside throughout the trails of the park, an experience in itself. The events will take place on the top of the hill at the Mill
Valley site. Guests should be prepared for a 10 minute walk uphill to the festival site. Admission is $10 for adults, free for children ages 12 and under. Gates open at 11 a.m. “The funds raised go toward not only general maintenance of the Sculpture Park but also toward bettering the facilities to provide more programming to the public, increasing the offerings available at the Sculpture park during the open season,” stated Griffis. “This year we are very committed to bringing great music, food and beverages in a truly unique setting in the hopes of attracting guests who have experienced Griffis Sculpture Park in the past or who are brand new to the park. We offer such a beautiful vista for music and art and it is our hope to continue to realize our mission — to promote the performing and visual arts — through events like the Annual Summer Festival. We truly appreciate offering events like these to bring people and families together!” For more information, visit their Facebook page (www. facebook.com/pages/GriffisSculpture-Park).
Automobile and motorcycle enthusiasts have Saturday, Aug. 8 circled on their calendars for Gowanda Harley-Davidson’s seventh annual Kustom KruiseIn. This is a family-friendly event that does not charge the owners of old-school cars and bikes to display their rides and it remains admission-free for anyone wanting to check them out. “What we have seen happen over the past six years is the Kustom Kruise-In became an annual gathering for people who like to customize their cars, trucks and bikes, and it allows them to interact with each other, get new ideas and show off what they have,” said Delaney Peters, Gowanda Harley-Davidson’s marketing and sales manager. “It really is a great time and people love it because it doesn’t cost anything for the owners and there is no admission charge to come check out these incredible vehicles.” Kustom Kruise-In VII, which takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., is a car and bike show that truly celebrates classic cars and pre-1984 American-made motorcycles. While diehards are familiar with terms such as rat rods, rat bikes, pinstripes, gasseers, greasers and rust, even the casual observer of automobiles and motorcycles will find something that will fascinate and perhaps even
inspire them to explore the possibility of restoring a car or bike. “The thing about customizers is that they are passionate, and it’s great to see so many enthusiastic and dedicated people together,” said Peters. “They feed off of each other and inspire each other. It’s incredible to see.” Trophies will be awarded in various categories, including Best Painted Car, Best Painted Bike, Best Motor Car, Best Bike, Most Original Car, Most Original Bike, Overall Best of Show and Overall Best Rat. Just as in years past, audience participation is encouraged and is the sole deciding factor on how each trophy is awarded. “All of the awards are decided by the crowd,” said Peters. “They decide who should get trophies and it’s a great way to get them involved and allow them to show the owners which cars and bikes they like the best.” Live musical entertainment is one of the focal points of the annual event, with Kustom Kruise-In VII to feature the blues-infused and loud rock-abilly sound of “The Heavenly Chillibillies” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We have the same musical act as last year because they are popular and they are really good at what they do,” said Peters. “They have been a main draw for many years now at
the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island and we had so many people tell us they really enjoyed the music they played last year. So they are back and we are really excited about that.” Refreshments will be sold by players, coaches and parents from the Gowanda Area Youth Football organization as a fundraiser. After the musical entertainment and food is served, a police-escorted group cruise featuring the cars and bikes participating in the event will head toward the Dunkirk Pier at approximately 2:45 p.m. Registration for Kustom Kruise-In VII will begin at 10 a.m. and judging will take place between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Owners of classic cars, muscle cars, rat bikes, choppers and other vehicles that “celebrate classic American iron” are being encouraged to participate in this year’s competition. “This is fun, it is free and it is family-friendly,” said Peters. “We hope to see everyone back who has experienced one of the first six Kustom Kruise-Ins, but we also hope to see some new faces and welcome anyone who has even the slightest interest in checking out some incredible cars and bikes.” For more information about Kustom Kruise-In VII, visit www.gowandaharley.com or call (716) 532-4584.

Aerial Park Last summer was my ďŹ rst visit to the Aerial Park, and I must say, it was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. While I don’t classify myself as “scared of heights,â€? I certainly teeter on it when I’m high off the ground, navigating wooden steps that are swinging from the trees. Not only was I nervous for myself, but add in the fact that I was with my kids and I was a bit of a wreck. However, after successfully completing a couple of the obstacles, including the ďŹ rst zipline, my nervousness quickly changed to excitement and a need to do more, more, more! If you’ve never been through a ropes course before (which I hadn’t), you’re not really sure what to expect. First, you get ďŹ tted for a harness. (Be sure to wear comfy clothes, preferably longer shorts or capris so they don’t ride up when you’re in the harness.) The friendly HV staff goes through the basics, most importantly how to use the locking lanyard system, which is how you move from one obstacle to the next and also is what keeps you from falling to the ground. The safety chat seems to make sense when you’re listening, but doing it is a totally different thing. So head up the hill by Tannenbaum and check out the practice area, where staff will help you put your learning into handson use on low-to-the-ground obstacles. Once you’ve mastered that, it’s time to head to the course start. Courses are marked with colors that correspond to various levels of difďŹ culty, much like ski slopes. Courses range from yellow (easiest and closest to the ground) to black diamond (most difďŹ cult and high off the ground). Certain

restrictions apply to the more difďŹ cult courses, but besides that, there is no limit to what courses you can do within your time slot. Thirteen courses challenge guests to move from one platform to the next by navigating obstacles or ziplines. Some resemble a swinging rope bridge; others are more of a snowboard in the air that you hang on as you whiz over to the next platform. All are fun, nerve-racking and designed to give you a huge adrenaline rush. There is also a course consisting of just ziplines that ends right by Tannenbaum, a favorite of most of my friends and deďŹ nitely a favorite among the kids in my life. “My favorite part of the Aerial Park is the zipline course because it’s so fun and you feel like you’re ying,â€? said my daughter, Lily, age 10. “I was scared at ďŹ rst, but once I got used to how it worked, I loved it!â€? “The zipline course is my favorite because you’re moving super fast from one platform to the next,â€? my daughter, Ava, age 12, added. My nephew Alex, age 9, said, “The ziplines are the best because you go so fast on them.â€? While my nephew Eli, age 7, agreed that the ziplines are the best, he also said, “I like doing all the obstacles.â€? Minimum age for the Aerial Park is seven. Rates start at $49 per person for three hours, with group discounts available for groups of 20 or more. In addition, a late afternoon session (3:30 to 6 p.m.) is $39 per person, and birthday party packages are also available. Reservations are required on weekends and strongly encouraged on weekdays. Climbing Forest The Climbing Forest is a 3-D version of a climbing wall, so unlike a traditional climbing wall, visitors can climb all around each tree as they head
up to the treetops. There are numerous trees outďŹ tted with color-coded climbing holds, with varying levels of difďŹ culty. Like the Aerial Park, guests are outďŹ tted with a harness that is clipped to an auto belay system. Once the top is reached, or you want to come back down, just let go, and you are automatically lowered back to the ground. “Letting go when you’re done is just as fun as climbing up,â€? Ava stated. “I like the Climbing Forest because you can see a lot of stuff from up there!â€? Lily said. “It’s fun because you can ring a bell when you’re done,â€? noted Alex. Rates for the Climbing Forest start at $17 for one hour, with group rates and birthday party packages available. Minimum age is ďŹ ve years old and 30 pounds. Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster The Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster is a roller coaster that spirals down the mountain through the woods. Everyone gets their own “carâ€? and riders control its speed. “I love how fast you go on the coaster!â€? said Ava. “It’s fun to race down the hill really fast in the coaster,â€? added Alex. “I like going really fast through the woods,â€? Eli said. Children must be at least three years old and 38 inches tall to ride with an adult (16+), or eight years old and 54 inches tall to ride alone. Rates start at $8 for one ride. The Aerial Park and Climbing Forest are open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Mountain Coaster is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. If it’s adventure you’re after this summer, look no further than Sky High. Whether you’re a kid or not, you’ll feel like one during your visit and when talking about it afterwards! Make it a must-stop on your summer to-do list!

Finally, Blueberry Season Has Arrived! Fact: Blueberries are one of “three fruits native to North America,� according to the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council. The others are cranberries and Concord grapes. Fact: Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants and micronutrients including vitamin C and K, and minerals like manganese. They’re cholesterol and fat free and a whole cup has only about 84 calories. Fact: The grayish-looking “dust� you see on blueberries is a harmless natural protectant, but if you want organic, it’s a good idea to ask growers if they use pesticides. Fact: Freshly picked blueberries will last up to two weeks in the refrigerator covered and stored in rigid containers to prevent crushing.
Fact: You can incorporate blueberries into just about any dish, including salads and dressings, desserts, cold soups, and, of course, eating them out of hand. Fact: Cattaraugus County has tons of blueberry farms that offer pick-your-own blueberries. Fact: The town of Humphrey is holding its annual Blueberry Day on Sunday, August 16 at the Humphrey Fire Hall. The event offers an all-you-caneat pancakes breakfast, games, contests, rafes, a dessert competition, a blueberry bake sale and much more. The fun begins at 8 a.m. The dessert contest judging begins at noon. Fact: The U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council has tons more information about blueberries, including fun
activities for kids, healthy living tips and blueberry preparation advice. Visit www. blueberrycouncil.org. So what are you waiting for? Go alone or make it a family occasion — it’s a great way to spend time with the kids. And bring your own storage containers for transport home, as most farms don’t provide them. Just be sure to go before the ďŹ rst frost when the season is ofďŹ cially over.

Pelleve Treatment Before & After
through October. The approval followed a public hearing on the matter during the planning board’s meeting on Monday, July 27. Realtor Dave Blanchard asked the planning board for its preliminary input on a minor subdivision that is being contemplated for a property on Bryant Hill Road. Blanchard, who represented the owner, said the owner is interested in subdividing a large property and selling two 30+ acre parcels. The planning board said that the project is doable, but that a small two-acre piece of the property is not contiguous with the rest and is too narrow to be buildable. Town Planner Carol Horowitz and Town Engineer Mark Alianello said it wouldn’t be wise to create a lot that would immediately require a zoning variance. They suggested that Blanchard suggest that the owner either sell off that small parcel to owners with abutting property, or talk to those owners about purchasing some of their land to create a larger parcel. Blanchard indicated that the owner was open to options and will apply for permits once he has worked out the details and had the surveying done. EVGV Trail Process In his role as a member of the board of the EllicottvilleGreat Valley Trail, Alianello briefed the board on Trail progress. Alianello was joined at the meeting by the board’s Vice President Jennie Acklin and the Trail’s marketing and development director, Joe Wright. Alianello explained that trail planning has been under way for three years and that significant progress has been made, including development of a master plan that details the location of the trail (which would potentially run 20 miles from Holiday Valley Tubing
Support Joyful Rescues PetFest and Help an Animal in Need

EVGV trailhead design will complement the Nannen Arboretum entrance.
Park, through the Village, past Holiday Valley resort and Ellicottville Central School and all the way to the Great Valley Town Hall). While the master plan describes a multi-year, multimillion dollar project, the board has decided that its next fundraising strategy must be to actually build a very small section of the trail from the trailhead next to the Nannen Arboretum and then east and south to a spot behind the EllicottVillas property. The board is working on drawing engineering and landscape plans for the section and estimating costs. Its vision is to create a trail entrance that aesthetically blends with the entrance to the Arboretum with, perhaps, a patio connecting the two. Fundraising for the section also is in the works. If, for some reason, funding never becomes available for more or any of the trail, this section could stand alone. However, the board believes that, until there is a visible, tangible section for people to get excited about, fundraising and grant awards will be all the more difficult. Part of the process, of course, requires Planning Board approval. Alianello pointed out that the trail, which falls under the zoning law’s definition of a park, must be designed and built over a long period of time
as funds become available. But, until funds are available, no plans will be drawn. Alianello asked the Planning Board if it would consider doing its State Environmental Quality Reviews (SEQR) and permitting section by section, starting with this first segment. “You can’t do a speculative SEQR” for the whole project since it’s not designed, “but you can do them by segment as plans are developed,” he explained. The Planning Board agreed to this strategy going forward. Horowitz discussed another process issue with the board, asking if it felt it needed to amend its existing zoning related to farm stands and other seasonal businesses and how they are treated in various zoning districts of the town. She suggested that existing language may need better definitions and classifications in order to clarify some gray areas. The board suggested that, since Horowitz was approved by the Town Board to provide the planning board with some training, it might useful to discuss this issue as part of that training. Details for the training are being developed. The next Town of Ellicottville Planning Board meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 24 at 6 p.m. in the town/village hall.

resort each year and really enjoy the town of Ellicottville, with all the shops,” he added. The competition course at Holiday Valley is another draw for shooters, Marcum said. Although it is mountainous, the terrain isn’t as tough as some of the other competitions, which helps to draw competitors from other countries. With well over 1,500 shooters competing, Marcum said the event draws competitors from South Africa, Australia and, of course, Canada. “It’s a lot of our normal demographic, but there are people from all over the world, so it’s good exposure,” Holiday Valley Inn Manager Katie DiDonato said. “We have seen IBO participants return for festivals or skiing. It’s not just [Holiday Valley], but all of Ellicottville too.” In addition to giving the town and resort exposure, DiDonato said hosting the world championship also allows local shooters a chance to compete in something they wouldn’t ordinarily take part in, as Holiday Valley also hosts a concurrent Bowhunter’s Open.
New this year, Marcum said, is the addition of a children’s Three-Star Championship. The IBO partnered with the National Archery in Schools Program to introduce an outdoor event for younger shooters. Marcum expects more than 100 young shooters to compete for awards and scholarships. “This is their outdoor world championship, too,” Marcum said of the children’s event. “They’re used to shooting inside … so to be outdoors in the elements is brand new, and I know a lot of them are looking forward to it.”
Both the adult and children’s courses are spread throughout Holiday Valley, HoliMont and onto state land adjacent to HoliMont, DiDonato said, which helps to avoid overimpact to any one area. Because of the competition, both the hiking and biking trails will be closed from Aug. 3-9, “for obvious reasons,” she said. And while the competition is getting closer, DiDonato said they’re still looking for volunteers to work the event. The check-in and checkout tents still need some volunteers, who will help to greet the shooters. “It’s a lot of fun, and there is a lot of interaction with the shooters, who are great, friendly people,” DiDonato said. Anyone interested in volunteering should call Donna Hallick at (716) 699-2345 ext. 4401 as soon as possible. See this page for the complete schedule. For more information, visit www.ibo.net

‘Go Set a Watchman’ by Harper Lee From Harper Lee comes a landmark new novel set two decades after her beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird. Maycomb, Alabama. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch—”Scout”—returns home from New York City to visit her aging father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise’s homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt. Featuring many of the iconic characters from To Kill a Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a world, in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past—a journey that can only be guided by one’s own conscience. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as an audio book and as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program.

Cattco Fair Prep Continued from front page
Mountain Alpacas booth, which is located in the in-field on the fairgrounds. Paul Mager explained that each year, he and Sue consider which of their alpacas will be best able to handle the activity of the fair. Because of the traffic and noise, the fair can be a stressful experience for the alpacas, which are herd animals that are most content at home on their farm. This year, the Magers are bringing two young males under the age of two years, who are both approachable and people-friendly. An important element of the Mager Mountain Alpacas booth is its emphasis on education. According to Mager, “At the fair…our emphasis is on educating people about alpacas, not only regarding starting alpaca farms and the benefits of ownership, but also what you do with alpaca fleece — why people raise them and the products people make from them.” Throughout the week, there will be spinners turning the luxuriously soft alpaca fleece into yarn on their spinning wheels. There, visitors can learn about what makes alpaca fiber unique, including its hypoallergenic quality and supreme warmth. The Magers are also bringing some of their products from their So-Soft Gift Shop to show visitors what kinds of gifts and clothing alpaca fiber is used for. At their booth, the Magers explain the history of alpacas, where they originated, and their growing popularity in the United States. “Many people want to raise alpacas, but don’t know what’s required, so explain that they
can’t have just one because they are herd animals,” he said. Fair-goers are encouraged to visit Mager Mountain Alpacas after the fair, as there are two babies (“crias”), which, according to Mager, are the best part of raising alpacas: “Once they can walk, all they do is frolic and play in the yard…we get so much joy out of watching them!” Another important part of preparing for the fair is getting the alpacas trained for the obstacle course during the alpaca show, which will take place at 9 a.m. on Friday, August 7. Mager said, “We’ll give demonstrations to show the public that these animals will do some amazing things as they follow their trainers through the obstacle.” The Magers will also use the obstacle course to help 4-H students learn how to handle the alpacas. Although visitors to the Mager Mountain Alpacas booth have much to gain from learning about these beautiful animals, the Magers get just as much joy out of sharing their passion at the fair. In Mager’s words, “We love the animals, not just raising them for the profit, but we enjoy the different personalities that each of the animals have. We just love to share the animals with people so they become educated about them, and at the same time we’re able to expand the industry.” Indeed, the Magers, who have been raising alpacas since 2002, have helped many area alpaca farms get started by sharing their knowledge and experience with those
beginning a farm of their own. For more information about Mager Mountain Alpacas, visit www.MagerMountainAlpacas. com and be sure to check out their booth at the Cattaraugus County Fair next week! AG Discovery Just across from Mager Mountain Alpacas’ booth is the AG Discovery Tent, where Sue Mager, a member of the Farm Bureau Board of Directors, will be working to promote local agriculture. This year, the Farm Bureau has assembled a team of experts to educate the public on a variety of topics with daily, interactive exhibits. Each day focuses on a different theme. Monday, August 3 is Plant Day and Maple Day, Tuesday is Farm Safety and Alternative Energy day. Wednesday brings farming to life with Farming Fun and Pumpkinville Day, and on Thursday, Darin and Katie Hill, partners at Hill’s Valley Farm, LLC, in Cattaraugus will share their experience working with 150 Brown Swiss and Holsteins on Dairy Day. Friday is Horse Day and Saturday is Fiber Day, which will feature several area spinning and weaving experts. On the final day of the fair, Sunday, Aug. 9, Dana Seymour will share information about Aphis Invasive Species. Indeed, the Cattaraugus County Fair remains true to its roots, as agricultural education is central to its many exhibits. For more information about the Cattaraugus County Fair, including the full schedule of agriculture events, visit www. CattaraugusCoFair.com or call (716)938-9146.

tour via the Amish Trail Map, a visit to the Amish community is sure to be an unforgettable experience this summer. Western New York’s Amish population is considered one of the few “Old Order” Amish settlements in the United States. This traditional, conservative community lives without modern conveniences such as electricity, phones, cars or even zippered clothing. Known for their plain, dark dress, the
Amish travel throughout their community in horse-drawn buggies, so motorists should be aware of these buggies that move at approximately ten miles per hour. The practices of the Amish community are governed by the Ordnung, which is the German word for “order.” This set of rules differs slightly from community to community and guides such aspects of daily life as approved methods of
transportation, acceptable colors and styles of clothing, and worship practices. Like their German ancestors, who settled primarily in Pennsylvania, Western New York’s Amish speak a dialect of German known as Pennsylvania Dutch and they refer to all non-Amish individuals as “English.” Amish children are educated in one-room schools until they have completed an eighth grade-level education, as the Amish believe that a basic education is all that is required for most aspects of daily life. Western New York’s Amish community is a selfsustaining one, as most families are farmers who raise their own livestock and grow their own crops. As visitors drive throughout the Amish community, they will see a variety of animals including cattle, sheep, goats and more, as well as the iconic hand-tied hay stacks that dot the fields.
