By Pat Morgan One of the cool things about Ellicottville and the surrounding area is the variety of annual events that we have all come to know and love, along with the seasons they accompany. While there are many wildly popular events like Fall Festival, Winter Carnival, and more, there are plenty of others that have a quiet, long standing tenure in the area, that we here at The Summer Local are proud to tell you more about. One of these festivals, now in its 9th season of offerings, is the Slyboots Festival (better known as SlyFest), taking place August 2-10 at Griffis Sculpture Park, located just ten minutes north of Ellicottville. Looking for more info? Read on! Many of you may already know what Griffis Sculpture Park is about, but for those who do not, this is a destination that NEEDS to make it onto your to-do list. Founded in the early 60’s, curator and sculptor Larry Griffis Jr. had a vision to create a one-of-a-kind landscape composed of steel sculptures of his own creation, along with other notable international artists. The diverse and thought provoking sculptures dot the rural landscape of rolling hills, hiking trails and ponds, creating an exciting interface of art and nature. As if there wasn’t enough to do and experience at GSP, enter Slyboots, bringing its own cultural and artistic spin to the Southern Tier, with a unique camp experience. The Slyboots School of Music, Art & Dance is “hidden in plain sight” in the city of Buffalo, and is comprised of internationally touring artists devoted to promoting positive, meaningful social change through cultural arts and education. The way Slyboots sees it, its goal is to encourage anyone to hone their respective crafts, motivate the masses, discover one’s voice, spread a message, travel, all the while broadening one’s mind. Whether it’s music, art, digital medium, or cultural events, Slyboots has a service or a contribution to whatever it is you’re looking to fulfill artistically. Beginning August 2, the best of both of these worlds collide, as Slyfest 9 kicks off with its opening ceremonies. For just $150 (or $200 if you live in the city and would like transportation from the Slyboots Campus) students will open the door to nine days of art, music and dance camp at Griffis Sculpture Park. World-class arts education will take place through interactive workshops, lectures, group activities and performers (to be announced soon!) Everything under the sun will be covered at Slyfest, including Literacy (creative writing, performances), Music (percussion, folk music, improve), Dance & Movement (yoga, circus acts, cycling), Art (drawing, painting, digital media, photography), and Science & Math (structures, architecture and bicycle mechanics). It’s important to note, all of these activities are all ages no matter what your interest level or background. Camp begins each day at 10am and runs until 4:30pm daily. Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged! If this week-long cultivation of creativity sounds like it’s right up your alley, make sure you click over to slybootsbuffalo.com and check out the vast array of unique offerings they have for everyone. Registration applications, as well as more in-depth details are available on the site. In the meantime, be sure to make the trek to Griffis Sculpture Park in Ashford Hollow, NY or click on through to griffispark.org for photos, a calendar of events, as well as all the other projects the park has involvement in. Get out there - be creative, and most importantly enjoy all of the truly unique places and activities like these, right in your own backyard!

Around the Block: Nature Inspired
Volunteers Bring Color to the Streets of Ellicottville; Tangled Twigs Brings Color Into Your Home & Garden By Anjanette Nicolazzo It is said that April showers bring May flowers. However, as history has taught us this year in Ellicottville, June showers are bringing July flowers! As the beautiful, humid and wet beginning to our summer continues, what better way to recognize the changing of the seasons than by celebrating our gardening volunteers from the Alley Katz, and by pampering yourself and your backyard with a little something from Tangled Twigs. Join me for this nature-inspired spin “Around the Block.”
ELLICOTTVILLE ALLEY KATZ Beautifying Downtown for 35 Years & Counting
TANGLED TWIGS Bringing the Natural World Right Into Your Home
Consider a Donation ... Your Financial Assistance is Greatly Appreciated PO Box 1407, Ellicottville, NY 14731
1 Monroe Street, Ellicottville, NY 14731 Ph. 716-699-2736 • www.tangled-twigs.com • tangledtwigs@gmail.com
The Rotary Club of Ellicottville recently made a generous donation to the Alley Katz. Won’t you join the effort?
Sure, Ellicottville is well-known for all of its cute shops, perfectly decorated streets and to-diefor restaurants. However, haven’t you ever wondered who was responsible for the 63 wooden barrels of fresh flowers, 50 hanging baskets and several curbside flowerbed arrangements that can be spotted everywhere around town? Wonder no more! Alley Katz is a group of vivacious volunteers that plant and maintain the flowers in the village of Ellicottville and also decorate the gazebo with a tree and lights during the winter season. This group of ladies can be seen, at the very least, every Tuesday - planting, watering and maintaining the lovely flora and fauna that helps color our town with an extra hint of happiness. This spring, Alley Katz sent a spring fundraising letter around to merchants, friends and family to recruit financial donations as their resources began to dwindle.
The ladies at Tangled Twigs believe that “Your home should be a refuge, a place that gives you peace, a place where you can draw in a deep breath and feel happy that you are there.” With that being said, it comes as no surprise that owner MJ Brown has carefully crafted her charming little shop on Monroe Street with custom made floral designs, whimsical home accessories and adornments for both your garden and you. Fun fact: over half the products at Tangled Twigs are locally handcrafted or Made in America.
“We are so incredibly pleased with the outcome of the spring fundraiser. We have received some wonderful donations that have put us in a position where we can replace damaged flowers this summer and continue beautifying our community through the month of September and into the winter,” said Debbie Yantomasi, Co-Chair.
Very reminiscent of a French Flea Market, MJ’s shop is super seasonal and busting with temptations for any girly-girl (or her manly-man). New items this summer include Duke Cannon Soap for men, which is modeled after the rough cut, “brick” style of soap used by GIs during the Korean War (part of its proceeds benefit the military); new floor mats with funny sayings such as, “Hi, I’m Matt,” and “A Shelter Dog Rescued This Family;” flask ties for men to get their drink on at work; and a line of Made in America art from cutlery, such as garden stakes and birds created from forks and knives. A few other new items include tripods, hanging baskets, bird feeders and houses, pots and “gathering baskets,” which are extremely unique and prevent bending down while gardening.
The group, which began in 1979, still has a few originals left in it. At any given time, the “Katz” consists of about 20 ladies between the ages of 65 and 85. According to Debbie, these women are loaded with enthusiasm, pride and stamina. “The difference between today and yesterday is that we are blessed with financial donations from the town and village, which we are super fortunate for,” she Debbie. “When Alley Katz began, the group was fueled by bake sales, quilt sales and similar fundraisers. Today, those efforts are one less thing that we have to worry about; we can focus on beautifying our village without concern for next year.”
Recently celebrating their 10th year in business, part of making the home magical with this style of décor are the custom made wreaths, swags and topiaries that Tangled Twigs is best known for. These items are made from the finest silk and dried products, at very attractive prices. “There really is no challenge that is too great,” said MJ, who has been handcrafting these items for over twenty years. The Twig Girls have designed things as grand as giant-sized items for barns, all the way down to the smallest customized décor for tabletops.
She continued, “We owe a big thanks to the town and village, the DPW crew for watering the plants daily, and our merchants. It really is a group effort on all parts to make the adornment of our village truly come together. After our Tuesday meeting, Dina DiPasquale of Dina’s Restaurant gives us free coffee, which makes for a wonderful social time; what a kind and thoughtful gesture on her part.”
“When we get tired of designing gorgeous wreaths and need to go downtown for martinis and inspiration, the Twig Girls like to gussy it up a bit,” said MJ. The store might be bursting with brambles and bumblebees, but it also boasts a little something for every girly-girl out there. Just a few of the brands they carry are Sister in Law jewelry (locally made), Saraye, a fair trade company that makes purses from Cambodia; MJK Scarves; Red Carpet Studio skirts, bags and flip-flops; Noelle Bling, Passion handbags, and amazing light-up LED Readers; Flower Flip Flops and Palazzo pants; Puzzle Lamps; and not to mention the hottest thing on the market - silicone lids by Charles E. Viancin, which are a green alternative to saran wrap … MJ boasts a huge selection.
Alley Katz is always accepting donations as they continue working with pride and diligence to make Ellicottville visually unforgettable for years to come. Due to rising costs, their resources have dwindled to the point where they may not be able to do the level of work that they have done in the past. Any amount of financial assistance is greatly appreciated to help these ladies continue to make our village as captivating as it is. Donations can be made by check payable to Alley Katz, PO Box 1407, Ellicottville, NY, 14731. If you have any questions, please contact Debbie Yantomasi at 716-699-5239 or 716-803-3388, or email evlalleykatz@gmail.com. If you are interested in joining the group, Debbie encourages you to join them on any given Tuesday. Just look for them strolling through town with their gardening gloves on.
Located in the heart of downtown Ellicottville on Monroe Street, you’ll find Tangled Twigs intermingled with several other boutique shops and beautiful Ellicottville residences. Peek through the fence for a visit with the doodles - Snickers, their new labradoodle and his cousin Goldie, a peppy goldendoodle. The best perk about Tangled Twigs? They are opened seven days a week from 10am-5pm and until 6pm on Saturdays.

Jefferson Street CEMETERY • ELLICOTTVILLE NY
There’s a Story Buried with Every Resident ... Listen, Learn, Enjoy History
By Spencer Timkey Amidst the daily hustle and bustle of bikes, automobiles and foot traffic along a section of Route 219 in Ellicottville, the dead lie peacefully. Amidst the sun, and snow, and wind and rain, more than 430 gravestones - and the names engraved on them - lie peacefully. Amidst the changing of the times, of governments and smartphones and culture, a segment of our nation’s history lies peacefully.
“Our walkers will be given a memento for the day,” Carucci said. “We’ll have an old-fashioned newspaper, styled 14x11 - just like they used to. The front page will have old ads from the old Ellicottville Post, while the middle will include our characters and who they’re portrayed by.” Jon Bucknam, an American hero through and through, served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with the United States Navy. He’ll be portraying the part of Corporal Byron Bentley, a Union war hero. In 1995, he began participating in Civil War reenactments as a Boy Scout and hasn’t looked back.
When you first gaze upon the Jefferson Street Cemetery, you think of death. Cemeteries tend to have that effect on people. But beneath each white gravestone is a story; an individual celebration of the human spirit. These are the people who built our country from the ground up, who bled, and sweat, and sacrificed to make it a better place for their children - and for us.
“The Civil War is arguably the single most important turning point of our nation’s history,” he said. “In order to know your future, you need to know where you came from. My house is a museum. I love collecting artifacts from that time period, and the most important part of a portrayal is knowing someone - who they were, what they did, their significance to our nation’s history.”
On Saturday, July 26, the 2nd Annual Walking Tour of the Jefferson Street Cemetery will take place. This event has evolved into so much more than just a walk around the cemetery. It’s a dedication to those who are buried there and a commemoration of each individual story.
This is Bucknam’s first year out of the military, and he’s been busy reenacting. (At the time of this piece’s writing, he was portraying John S. Mosby of Mosby’s Rangers - the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry of the Confederacy.)
Four years ago, project manager Gail Carucci attended a historical society meeting in Ellicottville. The Bryant Hill Cemetery project had just been completed, and the society was looking for volunteers to spearhead the next big renovation project - the Jefferson Street Cemetery. Carucci obliged. The very first thing that she did was to have the cemetery listed on the national register, which involved research and a lengthy application. It was granted to them in 2012. “Unfortunately, getting your name in the register doesn’t automatically get you a new sign,” Carucci said. “So we did some fundraising. The cost of the sign was close to $900, but we found the William G. Pomeroy Foundation that had just started a new program supplying signs for the national register. We couldn’t believe our luck. As the first ones to apply, we were granted the money and had the sign made.” Beautifully done, the new sign represents the mysteriousness and general aura that the cemetery emits. If you walk by the cemetery at night, there’s a certain angle that makes the sign glow from the light of passing cars. “The first summer, our main goal was to start cleaning the stones in the cemetery,” Carucci said. “I enlisted the help of 30 volunteers, and Crandall’s Memorial (of Olean) held a class on how to clean the stones. That first summer, we cleaned all of the stones (430+). It was an excellent start to the project.” Since the Town of Ellicottville owns the cemetery, it provided the funds necessary to bring in experts from Crandall’s to deep clean, repair and up-rite the stones. With around 100 stones done per summer, there are only 30-40 left for them to do … perfect timing for the 2nd Annual Walk. Carucci also brought in students from Buffalo State University to use their GPR, or ground penetrating radar. Since the plot map of the cemetery was destroyed in the Town Hall fire in the 1960s, the society wanted to know if there was someone buried beneath the open areas in the cemetery. Although the GPR provided information enough to see if the ground had been disturbed, it was inconclusive when it came to actual graves. However, the society’s work at restoring and filling in the blanks remains extremely admirable. The Walk on July 26 will start at the Ellicottville Historical Museum. (Two walking tours will be offered that day, at 1pm and 3pm.) Not only will the information provided be fulfilling and history-laden, but it will be delivered by 17 actors and actresses, all of whom will portray someone buried in the cemetery. Of the 17, four will be portraying their direct descendants. Truly, history in motion. For instance, Dave Wooley will portray Nathaniel Fish, who owned the Fish Tavern at the top of Fish Hill.
Dawn Westfall, who recently volunteered to become the president of the Ellicottville Historical Society, will play the role of Eliza Shankland. Shankland was one of two women who initiated a Jefferson Street Cemetery fund for its upkeep around 1917. “After I agreed to play the part, Gail provided me with a copy of Eliza’s obituary so that I could find out more about her,” she said. “I had to laugh when I noted that Eliza had a sister that lived in Grand Rapids, MI and died after suffering a hip injury. I recently had a hip injury and I have a sister that lives in the Grand Rapids area!” Depicting someone who lived all those years ago can be masterfully difficult. Research has to be thorough, so as not to get any of the information wrong. Dawn looked at records of where they lived, who their families were and their obituaries to piece together a strong narrative that stays historically accurate. Olean native Della Moore spends her time volunteering to ensure the preservation of our local history. She’ll be portraying Martha Maybee, who married Ellicottville native and Union war hero Abe Maybee. Although she doesn’t share a descendant’s connection to Martha, there is one that is vastly important - both of them are African American. “I want all African American history to be known,” Della said. “Without the infusion of African American history, we wouldn’t have American history. History is my passion, and I can’t say no to something that’s going to herald the unheralded heroes.” Della stressed the importance of speaking with your family - your aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents - to ensure that each family’s history remains alive. If not, the history is dead and gone. This won’t be Della’s first time portraying someone from the past. As part of Olean’s African American Cultural Development Center, she’ll soon be playing the part of Sarah Johnson, a runaway slave who settled in Olean. “The dynamic of the Civil War and slavery changed our country,” she said. “All of that is so very important. If you take away that part of our nation’s history, our nation’s history isn’t the same. You have a certain respect for those who went through this time period, and I refuse to allow that history to die.” History can ofttimes be cruel and unforgiving. Those who deserve to be remembered are lost, while those we wish to forget are remembered. But then there are those involved - the champions of history, the ones who refuse to let the everyday people be forgotten - who make sure we don’t forget our ancestral American heritage. The 2nd Annual Jefferson Street Cemetery Walk is set for Saturday, July 26. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children, and can be purchased the day of the tour at the Ellicottville Historical Society Museum. For further information, email Gail Carucci at glcarucci@aol.com.

PERFORMANCE AND ENTERTAINMENT
THE SUMMER LOCAL ~ JULY 2014 ... Page 11
MEET ART
AT THE ELLICOTTVILLE BREWING CO.
.............................. Saturday, August 2 | EBC Beer Garden By Dash Hegeman
If you’ve spent any time in or around Ellicottville over this past winter, you may have heard the name Michael Israel in casual conversation and wondered, who is this man? The truth is that his bio could easily span many pages. The depth of experiences and accomplishments that Mr. Israel has accrued over the years is both vast and amazingly unique. And on August 2, 2014 you have the opportunity to take part in the phenomenon that is Michael Israel, but you have to act quickly because tickets to his show, The Art Of Rescue, are going fast! Check out Israel’s website, michaelisrael.com and under his Bio section you will see links for (1) Artist, (2) Entertainer, (3) Speaker, (4) Humanitarian, and (5) Martial Artist. If you had to sum Mr. Israel up in one sentence, that would be a good starting point. However it would not begin to scratch the surface of his character and outlook on life. The Art Of Rescue will not be Israel’s first performance in this area. He did a benefit show for Hospice at Bemus Point in 2013, where one of the winning bidders for a painting of Israel’s was Ellicottville’s own Peter Kreinheder, owner of the Ellicottville Brewing Co. That show got Kreinheder thinking about how Israel’s talents could encourage support for an organization that plays a huge role in the winter Ellicottville lifestyle. Fast-forward a few months and a handful of brainstorming sessions by Kreinheder, who had recruited the help of Mary Lyn Boberg and her husband Greg - HoliMont and Holiday Valley Ski Patrollers respectively, and the idea for The Art Of Rescue was in place and quickly building momentum. For this show, Israel will be painting and then auctioning off five works of art. For The Art Of Rescue, Kreinheder has set up a plan to bring Israel into Ellicottville to hold a performance at the Ellicottville Brewing Co. The proceeds from the artwork that Israel creates on the day of that performance will benefit both the HoliMont and Holiday Valley Ski Patrols. “Our two patrols are part of the Eastern Division Ski Patrol,” said Mary Lyn Boberg. “We want to give some of the money to Eastern Divisions YAP program. YAP stands for Young Adult Program. To be in the YAP program you must be 15-yearsold to 18-years-old. This program teaches young adults how to be a patroller, but more important, it teaches them responsibility. These young adults throughout the Eastern Division meet to compete in their first aide and tobogganing skills. This money will help support these young adults and hopefully give more of them an opportunity to attend the event each year. The remainder of the money will be split between the two patrols.” According to Boberg, a ski patroller since 1975 and at HoliMont since 1993, HoliMont will be using the money to help build a new patrol facility. Holiday Valley will be using the money to purchase medical supplies, such as trauma equipment, splints, backboards, toboggans and bandages to service the 200,000 skier visits they get each year. “Peter’s excitement to help the Ski Patrol was very contagious,” stated Boberg. “I spoke with Michael Israel and realized this would be a great opportunity for us (ski patrol), and a great opportunity to work with Peter and Michael Israel.” The reason that this event is so important to the two ski patrol teams is that the National Ski Patrol is a not-for-profit organization and many of the ski patrollers are volunteers. To have such an exceptional opportunity to raise additional funds will go a long way to help the patrol teams, which in turn will help both HoliMont and Holiday Valley continue their efforts to efficiently treat and care for any injured skiers and snowboarders. The Art Of Rescue opens its doors at 4:30pm on August 2 with cocktails and a tour of the Brewery. Attendees can enjoy appetizers, cocktails and entertainment by 2014 Chautauqua Idol winner, Michael Nugent, from 5:00-6:30pm. A lobster dinner will be served promptly at 6:30pm followed by a presentation of ski patrol stories and testimonials at 7:30pm. And then starting at 8:00pm Michael Israel will take the stage and perform until 10:00pm. After the show, there will be a party in the Brewery’s fantastic Beer Garden where Michael Nugent will perform a second set to close out the night. Tickets for this “social event of the summer” can be purchased at www.ellicottvillebrewing.com or by calling 716-699-2537.
One-on-One with Michael Israel DASH: How did you get hooked up with the Ellicottville Brewing Co. crew? Have you been to the Western New York area before? MICHAEL: I did a benefit performance on the floating stage in Bemus Bay for Hospice, and Peter (Kreinheder) was one of the winning bidders for the art. Later he wanted to sponsor a similar benefit for the National Ski Patrol. DASH: Your event, The Art of Rescue, is helping to raise funds for both the HoliMont and the Holiday Valley Ski Patrol teams. Skiing and snowboarding are a huge part of the culture in Ellicottville. You’re a very athletic guy. Do you ski/snowboard at all? MICHAEL: I use to water ski and grew up on a houseboat in South Florida, but I’ve never snow skied. These days I’m careful what I do because I need all my body parts functioning to paint and have lots of people depending on it. DASH: Your performance art certainly is unique. What influenced you to come up with this kind of show? MICHAEL: I think I was dropped on the head as an infant and it just came naturally ... (chuckles) DASH: How much more pressure do you feel to produce for a crowd as opposed to just painting in the solitude of a studio? MICHAEL: I will do as many as seven 6-foot paintings in an hour show. But on commission I will procrastinate as long as I can. I had a Presidential painting to do that they didn’t need for about eight months so it didn’t get done until the day before it was needed … (chuckles) DASH: Your events look like they are quite physically demanding on you. What sort of training do you do to be able to perform, and what should the Ellicottville audience expect to see from you in August? MICHAEL: I work out with weights and karate six days a week to stay in shape to paint. Attendees can expect a show that will blow their minds. One they will remember for the rest of their lives … big fun too! DASH: What do you most look forward to with your performances and how does the crowd interaction affect what you ultimately create? MICHAEL: There is a synergy with the audience … I feed off of their energy!

DINING IN THE BEER GARDEN WITH EBC CHEF JOSHUA McDOWELL
An Age Old Classic Turned EBC Style Get Out the Grill and Get Ready to Chill with EBC’s Version of the Shrimp Cocktail By Joshua McDowell
Ahhhhh. Finally it is summer. Our transition months are behind us; all the bipolar weather should be in the past now. Hopefully your gardens are starting to supplement your dinner table, and your lawns have slowed a bit to grow at a much more manageable pace. It is a simple fact of life here in Ellicottville: we all love winter, but we yearn for the summertime change. For us here at EBC, we look forward to the warmer weather … our beer garden opens up in beautiful bloom, the A/C kicks on inside for those in need of some reprieve, and the ice cold beers flow like ice cold beers should, thanks to mixmaster Dan Minner.
al” c o L r e m m u S “ The of k c i P u Men h t n o M e th BEER PAIRING: EBC SUMMER HEFEWEIZEN 4.2 ABV
I’d like to take this opportunity to entice your senses on a little creation we’ve come up with, known as our grilled shrimp cocktail. It’s a simple dish with a very summery twist. Our thoughts: why not take something people have enjoyed for generations and add some depth to the flavors? We want to really get our customers drooling! Right off the bat you will notice a unique eye appeal compared to your everyday shrimp cocktail. (We are definitely striving to jazz it up a great deal!) In preparing this dish, you will want to leave some extra time to cool the shrimp down. (We aren’t going with the traditional ice bath and its shocking nature; the shrimp will need to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or preferably overnight.) Okay here we go! Let’s jump in …
ABOUT THE CHEF
EBC’s GRILLED AND CHILLED SHRIMP COCKTAIL This recipe will feed 6-8 people
Chef Joshua McDowell is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Institute of Culinary Arts of Pittsburgh, PA. He carries a Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts and offers over 17 years of experience in the food service industry. He has spent the last 11 years honing his skills in and around the Ellicottville, NY area, and last year was introduced as Executive Chef at the Ellicottville Brewing Company, 28 Monroe Street, downtown Ellicottville, 716-699-2537, www.ellicottvillebrewing.com.
INGREDIENTS: 2-½ lb. jumbo shrimp 2T Old Bay 1T Cumin 1/2T Chili Powder 1/2T Paprika 1/4c Brown Sugar 1/4c oil 2c Pico de Gallo 2c Guacamole Lots of tasty tortilla chips 1 flaming hot grill 2-3 jugs of EBC Summer Hefe Lime wedges for garnish
PREPARATION: This, as with all of my recipes, falls under the “very simple” category. Simply mix all of the seasonings and sugar together in a bowl to create a rub. Toss the shrimp in the oil and season with the rub. (We probably won’t need the entire rub, so we can save some for the next time we grill a nice piece of salmon.) Once our grill is good and hot, throw the shrimp on there and char ‘em up, making sure to cook them all the way through. Then, simply place the shrimp on a dish to chill in the fridge. While the shrimp are chilling, we recommend cracking into those jugs of Summer Hefe and chilling out. Once the shrimp have cooled down completely, place the pico and guacamole in a bowl with the shrimp lined around the edge, garnish with lime wedges, and serve with lots of tortilla chips.
BEER PAIRING Our beer choice here is a perfect SUMMERTIME TREAT! EBC HEFEWEIZEN is brewed in the traditional German style, using only German noble hops, wheat, barley, yeast and water. The Hefe is yellow in color with hints of banana and clove … in my opinion it has just the right amount of unfiltered sweetness that will go amazingly well with our dish. So fire up the grill, get on down here for some jugs of Hefe, and do you best to avoid those pesky mosquitoes! Until next month folks, be safe and have fun!

Who Needs More Energy? Full Tanks ... that’s what we all want!
By Dr. Kristina Barlow, N.D., C.S.T.
As gas fills our fuel tanks, food and oxygen “combust” to produce ATP - our body’s own “fuel.” A full tank gives us enough energy in a day for our families, our work, our hobbies, our recreation and our play. We all want to reap the benefits of hard work, be refreshed through our love and service to others, and play just as hard as we work. Feeling like we are running on empty all the time takes a toll on our daily productivity, drains our brain, dulls our relationships and kills our joy. Symptoms of low energy production in the body: fatigue, restlessness, memory loss, pain, depression, weight gain, moodiness, low libido, rapid aging, “sickly” skin and various illnesses. The trillions of mitochondria in our body are the powerhouses for ATP production and they are very sensitive to damage. What damages these ATP powerhouses? Oxidative stress damages them due to toxic overload, all types of infections, food or environmental allergies/sensitivities/intolerances, stressors of all kinds and poor quality foods (not really foods at all). These insults (most especially poor food choices), when combined with oxygen in the cells, create free radicals which cause oxidation. Oxidation is the process that rots an apple, rusts a car and destroys mitochondria, therefore decreasing our energy levels. Our goal is to protect the mitochondria as well as properly feed, hydrate and oxygenate the body in the best ways possible.
Here are Dr. Kristina’s TOP LIST of SIMPLE WAYS to “UP” Your Gas 1.
TOTAL ELIMINATION OF PROCESSED FOODS
In general, almost every “food” that has a label (almost all foods NOT on the perimeter of a grocery store) is processed in some way. Avoid products that have labels containing long ingredient names or too many ingredients. Start by avoiding sugar, artificial sweeteners (Splenda-chlorinated sucralose, Acesulfame potassium, Aspartame, Neotame, Saccharin or Sucralose), sodas, fast foods, junk foods, white flour, wheat flour, soy and high fructose corn syrup. These are not foods … they are chemicals!
2.
EAT WHOLE FOODS
If you are not vegetarian or vegan, I would recommend checking out Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippo. The Paleo diet is an excellent lifestyle for those of us who do eat animal foods. To begin your whole foods journey focus on “clean” meats/fish, raw dairy, vegetables (raw and cooked), fruit, nuts, seeds, whole grains (will say “whole” then the grain name … also, steel cut oats, bulgur, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat and millet), legumes and natural sugar alternatives (raw honey, maple syrup, xylitol, stevia, monk fruit and coconut crystals). As supplements: dehydrated greens (Ultimate GreenZone-powder or capsules), green and yellow pea protein with various gluten-free, non-GMO plant foods (Love and Peas or Nature’s Harvest shake powders), omega 3 fatty acids from fish oils (Super Omega 3s), an antioxidant drink from mangosteen fruit (Thai go) and …
3.
ADD SUPER FOODS
As foods: goji berries, cacao powder or nibs, blueberries, kale, chia seeds and hemp seeds. As supplements: blue-green algae (Spirulina), Bee Pollen and Liquid Chlorophyll.
4.
STOP OVEREATING
Most overeat because they are undernourished in spite of their continual overconsumption. When our bodies do not receive adequate nutrition, the satiety (feelings of fullness) centers of the brain do not shut off. Overeating is destructive to our digestion and elimination, our mitochondria and weight.
5.
RID YOUR SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT OF ALL TOXINS
We certainly cannot control factory pollution, genetic modification, how our animals are treated, how our crops are grown and processed, nor the many hidden insults to our air, water, building materials and food. But, we can control our immediate environment. Because we spend a majority of our time in the home/workplace, sick or toxic homes/ workplaces are worse for us than what is found outside. Substitute perfumes and colognes with essential oils. Toxic cleaning products with natural ones. Public water sources with glass bottled water or water purifiers. Air fresheners with essential oil diffusers and sprays. Avoidance of known GMO foods (a 5 digit PLU# beginning with an 8). Dry cleaning - air it out before bringing it into the house. Laundry products with natural ones.
6.
GUT THERAPY: THE 4 R’s
1) RID the gut of invaders such as bad bacterial overgrowth, excess stagnant stool, yeast and parasites. This can be done with fibers (Nature’s Three or LOCLO), colon and liver cleansing herbs (CleanStart or Tiao He Cleanse), sufficient hydration, juicing or blending fruits and vegetables, and direct antimicrobials (Silver Shield, Echinecea/ GoldenSeal, VS-C or Olive Leaf Extract). 2) REPAIR the gut lining with soothing herbs (Aloe vera, Slippery Elm or Marshmallow), l-Glutamine and Omega 3 essential fatty acids (Super Omega 3s). 3) RESTORE the good bacteria (Probiotic
11) and include prebiotics to “feed” the probiotics (Chicory root, Jerusalem artichoke, Dandelion greens, Garlic, Leek, Onion, Asparagus, Wheat bran, Banana, LOCLO). 4) REPLACE with digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid (Food Enzymes with HCl or plant-based Proactyzyme) and Himalayan or Celtic Sea Salts. This will replenish deficient digestive enzymes and help build bile salts.
7.
REMOVE ALL AGGRAVATING FOODS
Almost all people who come into my practice have adverse reactions to sugar, wheat and processed foods. These three foods are to be removed from the diet immediately. Next, many people need to do a 21-Day elimination diet of one or more of the following foods: dairy, eggs, peanuts, soy, corn and nightshades. After 21 days, add them back in one by one and see if there is any adverse reaction every three days. Adverse reactions to foods (food sensitivities or intolerances, NOT allergies) are joint or muscle pain/ inflammation, moodiness, headaches, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain/ cramping, focus/concentration problems, brain fog, skin issues and behavioral problems. A normal allergy test is testing the body’s IgE response for true allergies. Contact me for more information regarding an IgG test for food intolerances and sensitivities that may be the cause of your health concerns.
8.
ADDRESS INFLAMMATION
Three simple ways to deal with inflammation are hydration, balancing the body’s pH and natural anti-inflammatory herbs. Purified water should be consumed at half the body’s weight in ounces. Add Solstic Energy for a boost of B vitamins and energizing herbs. Most Americans are more acidic, so anything to balance the pH will help to decrease the inflammation. Add chlorophyll, lemon, cucumber or apple cider vinegar to water. Eat green vegetables raw, cooked, juiced or blended. Curcumin BP with black pepper is a great way to decrease inflammation

9.
EXERCISE
The most important thing I learned about exercise for energy is that interval training, which is more cardio in nature, will increase the effectiveness of the mitochondria while strength training will increase the muscle and the number of mitochondria. All great things come with hard work. There is no “magic bullet” supplement or energy drink for increasing your energy. There are women in my current holistic weight loss class (In. Form) who have experienced increased energy, better sleep, balanced moods, weight loss and more joy in only three weeks of following these steps. Before you start, fill out an Energy Questionnaire (available at Nature’s Remedy). After four weeks, fill it out again … and notice the differences! Not only will you see changes in your energy but also your moods, mental faculties, skin, respiratory tract, digestion, elimination, sleep, pain and weight. Here’s to Upping Your Gas!

What do spicy cheese balls, the National Football League’s Sunday Ticket and a 1927 Model-T Ford have in common? They’re all part of the Model T Inn of Derrick City, PA. “It opened in the ‘40s but my family acquired it in 1996,” said Jason Campbell, owner of the Model T Inn. “We remodeled everything since we’ve owned it.” The remodeling included a new back room, enclosed patio, ice cream stand and, in 2000, the Model T Ford. “My dad and I found it on eBay and used a forklift to put it above the door,” Jason said. “You walk under it before you come into the restaurant.” Jason and his staff of eight take pride in the quality service they provide, and their menu caters to both kids and adults. “For the little ones, we have spaghetti-o’s, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets,” he said. “Some of the specialty items popular with the adults include our grilled prime rib, made-to-order hamburgers and our steak sub, which is a big seller.” Sarah Fuoco of Bradford craves the prime rib, as well as the restaurant’s burgers, wings and pizza. “Really, you can’t go wrong with whatever you choose,” she said, noting that she and her husband also visit the restaurant for the atmosphere. “It’s a comfortable environment, and they make you feel very welcomed. My husband and I like to go because we have always had a great meal and it’s a nice place to relax.” Dayna Williams, also of Bradford agreed, adding that she and her husband appreciate the quality of the food. “They have great food at good prices. It’s freshly prepared, so you don’t leave feeling like your order was sitting around in the back waiting to be served.” As Jason explains it, the Model T Inn’s menu lists “a wide variety of salads for all the health nuts out there,” and also offers a Fish Fry on Friday and spaghetti night on Thursday. “Our fish fry is a big thing around here; we sell a lot of those. We also make our own meatballs for our Thursday night spaghetti entrees.” Beyond the entrees, the Model T Inn provides summer activities for all ages, so once you’re finished with your meal, you may want to step outside for some extra enjoyment. “We have horseshoe pits, corn hole, volleyball and a big swing set so the kids can play and run around,” Jason noted. “We also have a nice big deck for relaxing, and many customers enjoy walks down by the creek.” Customers of The Model T Inn can also take advantage of live entertainment each month, watch sports on six different TVs, and even book the restaurant for special events. “We cater class reunions, birthday parties and weddings … I’ve had five weddings here at the restaurant, and everyone is still married,” Jason chuckled. Any customer wishing to book an event with the Model T Inn just needs to call ahead for availability. “No matter what the occasion, when you arrive, we’ll have good, fast service.”
“Where making it look old looks good” is the mantra behind Olde Schoolhouse Village Shoppes, according to owner Tammy Ireland. Tammy acquired this 6,000 sq. ft. gem several years ago when she went to an auction at the former Eldred Township Elementary School to purchase some desks and chairs, never considering that she would be bidding on the building that day. Years later, Tammy and her family passionately have taken a previously very small family business and made it into a thriving and unique place to shop. Now, this once dilapidated and vacant two-floor schoolhouse is humbly filled with home goods, fabrics, crafts, candles (their #1 seller), jewelry, food and handmade furniture from over 100 local vendors. Each room in the chic schoolhouse is filled with nostalgic home goods set to a certain theme. There is an Americana themed room that is filled with red, white and blue galore. You will also find memorabilia inspired from the Civil War, WWI and WWII. Another popular room is Extreme Primitive, which incorporates the early style handmades of country antiques and folk art. Country Splendor combines classic country pieces with rustic charm - lamps, linens and framed art - impressive furnishings that will compliment any home! The next room (and probably a family favorite) is the Toy Room. “This room is all about pulling the family together,” said Tammy. A replica of an old style one-room schoolhouse, the Toy Room features classic type toys, educational toys, blocks, building sets, games, puzzles, card games, stuffed animals and more. If you can’t find it here, it probably doesn’t exist! Looking to decorate your space with that rustic feel of the mountains or old style lodge? The Northwood’s Cabin room has everything you need - furniture, snowshoes, skis, antique tackle, and woolen blankets. Two other rooms in the Olde Schoolhouse include the charming elegance of the Farm House and the floral elegance of Shabby Chic! Find delicate floral fabrics, over 100 types of canning jars, rolling pins, enamel pieces, farm tables, quaint lighting and reclaimed pieces of furniture. Lastly, and most likely any wellness enthusiast’s favorite, is the Health Food Store. Schoolhouse Health Foods fits right in with the rest of the building’s theme when it comes to “keeping it local and friendly,” said Tammy. Whether you are looking for gluten free products, local produce, organic local meats, natural cleaning products or homeopathic supplements, this place certainly has it covered! Schoolhouse Health Foods also offers free classes and naturopathic seminars. There are gardening classes taught by a master gardener as well as a cooking class taught by Sheila Peach, store owner. Step into the Olde Schoolhouse Village Shoppes and find that perfect piece to tie together a room, discover a new family heirloom, or just relish in the charming ambiance. Come see what this “gem in the woods” is all about!

The Enchanted Mountains
. . . Naturally Yours
Keepin’ Summer Hot! Hot! HOT! with Events Every Weekend! Hello summer! Along with the month of July comes all the outdoor activities, summer vacation getaways, exciting events, and of course, July 4th celebrations! Spend your days soaking up the sun, and enjoy your nights out on the town. Treat the kids to some fun while they are off from school with a day trip along the Geology Trail – a sure fire way to get them out of the house. Take some time for yourself and pre-order tickets to an upcoming music festival or concert at the Seneca Allegany Casino. Whatever you decide, don’t let summer pass you by without a trip to the Enchanted Mountains of Cattaraugus County! The 4th of July brings cookouts, family reunions, and watching the fireworks light up the sky. Plenty of area locations will be hosting Independence Day extravaganzas. Spend the day or the week at Allegany State Park, which hosts fireworks over Quaker Lake every year on the 3rd. Olean and the Seneca Allegany Casino will both be hosting a spectacular show on Friday the 4th … all that’s required for this family fun activity is a blanket or your lawn chairs.
Really celebrate the long holiday weekend by attending one of three major events happening. The Ellicottville Rodeo comes to town, bringing joy and dreams of cowboy stardom to all kids. Cheer on the riders as they compete in challenge after challenge. Holiday Valley hosts a Summer Music Festival with a weekend packed full of musical performances, arts and crafts vendors, and good times on the slopes! Ever hear of “Glamping”? The newest resort, The Woods at Bear Creek in Franklinville, NY has recently opened its doors. Come for the day or for an overnight stay as they host the “Camp Easy Wind Rock Festival.” Over 15 bands are set to take the stage on Friday and Saturday night. Truly a beautiful location, with over 750 acres, go and check out all the exciting new amenities and features such as the zipline, the restaurant on the lake, the pool, the climbing wall, and huge rec hall. This will be the place to make your annual summer trip!
Find some good ol’ fashioned fun this summer at the the South Dayton Tractor Pull the weekend of July 11, or head over to Pioneer Park for Portville Heritage Days July 12.

A variety of food will be served up, along with live entertainment throughout the day. Looking for something new for the family? Try the S.T.A.R.S. Annual Rally and Air Show July 12-13 at the Olean Airport, where hundreds of radio controlled aircrafts take flight. Or for something truly different, sign up to be a part of a Wagon Train. The Leon Historical Society invites you to bring your horse, your trailer or just yourself for three days of trail riding fun. Each day, July 24, 25 and 26, you will be led as a group throughout the scenic Amish countryside, with food and music awaiting your return. Cost is only $10 to reserve a spot on someone else’s wagon if you don’t have one yourself. Need some time away from the kids? Place your ticket order now for any of the events happening at the Seneca Allegany Casino. The always good time, KC and the Sunshine Band keeps you shake, shake, shaking it for the evening of July 12. Jim Gaffigan will have you rolling out of your seats when he comes to the casino on July 26. Or take some time off at the Historical Ray Evans Seneca Theatre as they bring back performances starting with “West Side Story” July 17-20. Just because the kids are out of school, doesn’t mean they can’t learn something new over the summer. Give them a chance to experience the past as the Cattaraugus County Museum continues their “Summer at the Stone House Civil War Series Visit www.CattCo.org/Museum for dates and information on what each event will include. Head to Salamanca for their annual Pow Wow July 18-20, where you can celebrate culture and heritage of the Seneca Nation.

A Conversation with Harry “KC” Casey HULICK: How have you been? KC: Good! We just got back from South America and Mexico. HULICK: How did that part of the tour go? KC: It was absolutely amazing. HULICK: I saw your show the last time you played Seneca Allegany about four years ago and it was hands down fun from start to finish. Do you get tired of doing shows or does it get dull to you after a while? KC: No, not at all. I love performing and seeing the audience get up and get involved. HULICK: The thing I noticed at your show is how people sitting all around me are texting on their phones and by the middle of the first song the texting stops, the phones are put away, not just for a song or two either, and everyone’s head actually comes up and they are all up dancing at their seats. They’re singing along and really enjoying the show. You must notice that. How does that feel to have that kind of power, for lack of a better word, through your music? KC: I don’t think of it as power or anything like that … for me doing a concert is the only thing that helps me connect with the people that have purchased my music or sent emails, have been part of my fan club. It’s really the only connection with the public. The only thing I’m looking for is that they’re having a good time together. Of course my eyes always go and find that one person who just looks like they’re not having a good time.
............................... SATURDAY, JULY 12, 2014 | 7:00 P.M. By Melanie Hulick Harry Wayne Casey, KC for short, is ready for a return engagement to Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca. On Saturday, July 12, fans will be asked to “Shake Your Booty” and “Get Down Tonight,” while KC and his band are on stage thinking “That’s The Way (I Like It).” Branded as one of disco’s most successful bands, they’re still performing over 100 shows a year to sold-out crowds not only in the U.S., but in countries around the world. With three Grammy Awards, an American Music Award and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences’ top honor, the Governor’s Award, KC is not one to rest on his laurels. He continues to write music and has just finished a project that will be released in July called “Feeling You,” which we talk about in the following conversation. For a genre of music that people thought would not last, disco music has stood the test of time. KC and the Sunshine Band can be heard everywhere from your radio to your TV in commercials for Burger King, General Motors and Old Navy as well as on “American Idol” and “Dancing with the Stars.” You may have recognized their undeniable sound in feature films such as “Forrest Gump,” “Rush Hour,” “Carlito’s Way” and “Austin Powers in Goldmember.” Add in all the times we’ve rung in a New Year with KC and his band mates with their many appearances on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.” This is my second time interviewing KC, four years apart, and he is still as enthusiastic and ready to show you a great time as he was four years ago. The one thing I can guarantee is that with every show, the singer brings the party with him.

Tickets to KC and the Sunshine Band at Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca start at $25 and can be purchased through www.senecacasinos.com (click on Seneca Allegany). For more information on the band, visit www.kcsbonline.com
HULICK: Like the husband that the wife drug along? (laughs) KC: (laughs) Yes! The one with the arms crossed! I used to concentrate on that one person, but I have since decided how ridiculous it is to center on that one person to try and get them to have a good time and ignore the thousands that are. HULICK: Tell me about the remake of your song, “Give It Up.” KC: It was done by a Latin artist and soap star in Miami in the Spanish market. His name is Jencarlos (pronounced John Carlos). Originally he wanted to do a remake of “Give It up” and wanted to know if I would sing on it with him along with Pitbull. So Pitbull put his vocal on it and then something happened in the negotiations and now Pitbull’s off of it and Psy from Gangnam Style is on it. HULICK: The actual title of it is “Give It Up Tonight,” and Jencarlos approached you about doing this. KC: Yes, right. HULICK: It’s great when these young musicians go to the entertainers from past decades and want to combine their talents with them. It’s really good to see that. In the current music scene, collaborations are quite popular … like Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga as an example. Is there someone you would like to work with? KC: Wow … I don’t know. It would be fun working with any of the young artists today. To say which one or narrow it down … I can’t really come up with one in particular, because I like so many different ones. HULICK: Who do you listen to today? KC: I’m a Top 40 person, so whoever is in the Top 40. HULICK: Do you have any new projects coming up? KC: I just finished an album that was a year and a half project. It’s 17 songs from the ‘60’s and almost 24 brand new original tracks. It’s called “Feeling You.” HULICK: When will that be released? KC: It was supposed to come out in June, but I didn’t sign the contract until a week ago, so I don’t have a new release date from the company yet, but I’m hoping sometime this month (July). HULICK: Will you be doing any of the songs in your show at Seneca Allegany? KC: I’m doing only the ‘60’s stuff because they’re familiar. HULICK: We are so excited having you come back to Seneca Allegany. Before you go, can you tell our readers who have not seen your show before what they can expect? KC: There are 15 of us on stage, the show is high energy … it’s a production show where everyone participates and we like to encourage the audience to participate also. It’s just an evening of great music and great fun. So if you want to have a lot of fun and feel good for an hour and a half to two hours, it’s the place to be!

Breaking Ground:
New Visitors Center at Kinzua Bridge State Park
“Walk
Coming to Life!
the tracks
Across the Sky” When completed, exhibit hall displays will tell the story of engineering, energy and the environment.
www.visitANF.com The new Kinzua Visitors Center, located at the Kinzua Bridge State Park, 1721 Lindholm Drive in Mt. Jewett, Pennsylvania, will start construction as early as this month, July 2014. The Kinzua Sky Walk, currently the main attraction at the park, will remain open to the public, dawn to dusk, daily during the construction period of the new building. Newly opened to the public, a walking trail allows the public to hike from the current overlook down to the valley floor. A strenuous hike, the short ¼ mile trail is rated “more difficult” because of the drastic topography changes. The views at the bottom of the gorge of the Kinzua Sky Walk towering overhead are spectacular. Easy to hike down, the hike back up is not for the faint-of-heart. The new multi-million dollar Kinzua Visitor Center will house approximately 2,800 square feet of exhibit space and is expected to open to the public in 2015. The interpretive exhibit concept is based on three themes - engineering, energy and the environment. The proposed exhibits for the center include an excursion train car theater, steel bridge towers, and a wide variety of interactive exhibits that capture the excitement, ingenuity, and aspirations of the 1800s. A revolutionary time, the 1800s were a time of cultural and technological revolutions and astounding accomplishments: the Industrial Revolution, the Wright brothers’ first flight, and construction of the Eiffel Tower, the Panama Canal, and the Kinzua Viaduct. The Kinzua Viaduct, when built in 1882, was the world’s highest and longest railroad viaduct, stretching 2,053 feet across the Kinzua Gorge at a height of 301 feet. Constructed using the newest technology of the 1800’s - “Phoenix Columns” - the viaduct was rebuilt of steel in 1900 to carry larger loads of timber, coal and oil to markets along the Great Lakes. In 2003, a tornado toppled 11 of the original viaduct towers. The six towers left standing on the park side of the gorge were recreated as the Kinzua Sky Walk in 2011. “The Kinzua Bridge State Park is one of the premier tourist attractions in McKean County and the Pennsylvania Wilds, and we have many partners who, over the years, have contributed to its promotion and success,” explained DCNR Bureau of State Parks Director Dave Kemmerer. “The exhibits and educational information in the new center will add to a quality visitor experience at the park.” The exhibits in the Kinzua Bridge Visitors Center will celebrate the magnificence of the Kinzua Viaduct - not only its form, but the vision, ingenuity and hard work that made it a reality. The exhibits will also illustrate the natural world - the rich resources of the region, the rugged landscape that necessitated an impressive bridge and the breathtaking scenic
views available to visitors today. When visitors enter the center, they will pass under a representation of the Kinzua Bridge’s steel piers. In the lobby, visitors will see three additional “steel” structures that showcase the view out the lobby windows toward the Kinzua Skywalk. Life-size figures of bridge works will invite visitors into the exhibit hall. The centerpiece of the upper level exhibit hall will be a large model representing the original iron bridge. With tracks overhead, visitors will be able to walk around replicated Phoenix Columns. Visitors will learn about the people who made the bridge, including General Thomas L. Kane, a decorated American Civil War General, and Octave Chanute, considered by many as the world’s first aviation engineer who later helped the Wright brothers fly. Along the east wall, visitors will see scaled models of various structures built during the 1800s to get a sense of the massiveness of the Kinzua Viaduct. Next to the scale model, visitors will find a flip box interactive showing three animations: the Kinzua Creek Valley before the bridge and the iron bridge being built, the steel bridge replacement, and the tornado destroying the bridge leading to the construction of the skywalk. Children of all ages can take a play-break in the “Build a Bridge” area along the west wall. This area will entice builders of all ages to build using pre-fabricated sections of the bridge designed to mimic the real Kinzua Viaduct. Encircling the room overhead will be a model trail and track. As the train passes over sensors on the track, a graphic will highlight key events related to the Kinzua Viaduct as well as significant local and world events. Downstairs in the second exhibit hall, exhibits about recreation, natural resources and the tornado can be viewed before exiting outside to the trail that will take visitors outside into the park to “walk the tracks across the sky” - the Kinzua Sky Walk. Picnic areas, a park pavilion, classrooms for educational programing, a gift shop, tourist information, restrooms and office space for park staff will round out the amenities at this day use park. Free tours, by advance reservation, will be available for school field trips and motorcoach groups after the opening of the new Kinzua Visitors Center. For additional information on the Kinzua Bridge State Park please call 814-956-2646.

Salamanca, NY 800-745-3000 www.senecaalleganycasino.com (Tickets to all casino performances are available through Ticketmaster) SURVIVOR Saturday, July 5 7pm Founded over a frigid Chicago winter in the late ‘70s, Survivor went on to be one of the hottest bands of the ‘80s. Synonymous with the decade they racked up Grammy Awards, received Oscar nominations, charted Billboard Top-Tens and hung multi-platinum plaques. Hear the iconic essentials off the soundtrack of an era, including “Eye of the Tiger,” “Burning Heart” and “The Search is Over.” Tickets start at $15. KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND Saturday, July 12 7pm Experience the eclectic, original sound that started a movement in American music. Spend an evening with the Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum recording artist whose decade-long string of No. 1 hits like “That’s the Way I Like It,” “I’m Your Boogie Man” and “Get Down Tonight” inspired a generation to get up and dance.

JIM GAFFIGAN Saturday, July 26 7pm Laugh the night away with the side splitting, silver-tongued sarcasm of the irrefutable Jim Gaffigan. Finding the stand-up stage in New York City in the early ‘90s, this Midwestern native has plowed his way through the gauntlet that is the comedy circuit to find fields of green as a successful stand-up comedian, writer and actor.
