EVL Museum Open For Season By Mary Heyl
The Ellicottville Historical Society museum is now open for the 2016 season, and there are so many new exhibits for visitors to explore! Located at 2 Washington Street on Ellicottville’s main square, the museum is open from 1-4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays now through September 1. Director Mary Elizabeth Dunbar encourages visitors to check out the new exhibits and attend the historical society’s monthly speaker series at the Ellicottville Memorial Library through October. Over the past year, Dunbar and her dedicated group of volunteers led by area resident Cathy Lacey, have been working hard on the exhibits, which are all brand new for 2016. The exhibits, arranged chronologically, take visitors back in time to learn about Ellicottville’s early settlers and farming and agricultural roots. Then visitors can learn about Ellicottville’s earliest homes, businesses and churches, many of which are still standing today. Dunbar is pleased to share a special exhibit, a display of wedding gowns from community members, that dates back to the late 1800s; each dress has a unique story behind it, as many are family heirlooms from area residents. The historical society’s exhibits give visitors a visual history of Ellicottville during the era of industrialization, particularly Ellicottville’s lumber industry. Until 2006, the Louisville Slugger billets (blocks of Ash tree lumber) were made in Ellicottville and sent to Kentucky to be turned into bats. Ellicottville was also known as the “shoe last capital

EVL Tunes Summer Music Fest July 1-3
By Alicia Dziak
The countdown to the Summer Music Festival is on! Don’t miss the ever-growing lineup of fun, excitement and tons of live music coming to
Ellicottville July 1-3. “The Summer Music Fest is such a great event for the entire area and Holiday Valley is proud to be a sponsor and host again this year,” said Jane
Eshbaugh, marketing director at Holiday Valley. “The lineup has something for everyone.” Kick off the weekend at the Luau party on the second floor of Holiday Valley’s Main Lodge. Enjoy a festive themed party with friends old and new, take a chairlift ride and then go ahead and lose yourself in the music. After the Luau, check out Rusted Root. Known for such hits as “Send Me on My Way,” and “Faith I Do Believe,” Rusted Root draws their sound from a fusion of acoustic, rock, world and more. Show See Summer Music Fest page 9
Robert (Bob) McCarthy 1942-2016
Ellicottville’s beloved Bob McCarthy died on Wednesday morning, June 8, at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital of an apparent heart attack. Bob was a friend to all, and his stories and laughter would light up a room. Bob loved Ellicottville and took every opportunity he had to give back to the community he called home. He created and organized the annual Irish Christmas fundraiser, sat on his wagon and collected food donations during the holidays, and promoted local artists in the summer’s annual Americana Festival, just to name a few. Our community is a better place because of Bob. He will be forever missed and in our hearts. A Celebration of Life for Bob will be held at Holiday Valley’s Yodeler Lodge at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 11.

Just Add Mud! Holiday Valley Mudslide is June 18
By Alicia Dziak
Eleven obstacles + 3.5 or 5.4 miles = one amazing time!
The annual Holiday Valley Mudslide is coming up June 18 and you won’t want to miss it! The Mudslide is a race to remember. Whether you’re sporting a superhero costume, rockin’ a tiara, or just in it to win it, there’s no greater glory than sliding down the mudslide into the giant mud pit, making your way out, and crossing the finish line, hopefully with your attire still intact. Waves of 100 runners
depart from the starting line by Spruce Lake beginning at 10 a.m. From there, runners head around the lake to the first obstacle, the now-famous “lily pads” that float atop the water. The 3.5 mile course follows the cross-country trails, through the mucky woods to the top of Eagle, down Woodstock, across Explorer to Morning Star, through the woods and across Mardi See Mudslide page 2

Mudslide Continued from front page
Gras, down Holiday Run to Edelweiss and ďŹ nishes at the Training Center. This short course has an elevation with a drop of 600 feet downhill. Those up for the 5.4 mile course will be treated to a loop from Eagle across to Cindy’s, down a logging road to lower Bear Cub and back uphill to Explorer. (This section is so steep they’ve installed ropes to help you scramble up!) Both courses end with the mudslide at the base of Yodeler. The much-needed rinse-off after the race is a challenge in and of itself – be warned that they use the icy-cold snow guns to hose off some of that mud. And here’s another bit of advice: don’t plan on wearing your brand-new kicks. They will get MUDDY. If you’re the competitive type, prizes will be awarded to the overall three fastest males and females. If the chip timing isn’t a motivator, you also have a chance to win using your creative side, with prizes awarded for those with the best costumes. You’ll need to refuel after all that hard work, and the after-party is just the way to do it. Following the race, guests can head to the

SCA Gala June 18 Springville Center for the Arts (SCA) will kick off summer with its annual Gala and Mini-Golf Tournament on Saturday, June 18. This year, County Executive Mark Poloncarz will be present to cut the ribbon on the Center’s newly-installed elevator at 6 p.m. After a year of community fundraising and volunteer labor, the Center will permanently reopen the Olmsted Gallery and Vacanti classroom spaces. The event coincides with the opening reception of “A Special Moment,� a photographic gallery exhibit by View Finders. The exhibit, directed and curated by Bonita Chimes, shows photographs all taken through the lens. Established in 1994, View Finders has been an ongoing group of photographers, based both in Western New York and in California. This will be the group’s 15th consecutive year of exhibiting at SCA. Musicians will play acoustically on the grounds as people mingle and try their hand at putt-putt. Teams compete for the coveted Coiltown Cup on a custom nine-hole course. Last year’s winners— Pat Rindfuss, Allison Duwe, Joan Vasiliauskas and Lynne Giroux— will not give up the
cup easily. The event will open with the old-time hammered dulcimer sounds of Partners In Time. LeeRon Zydeco will perform an upbeat, spicy mix of Zydeco, Cajun, Caribbean, Blues, Tex-Mex and New Orleans, pumping out of big box accordion. The Buffalo Tango Orkestra will bring Argentine tango with strings, piano, and upright bass led by bandoneon and vocals that rise up from a deep well of South American sorrow and soul. Ed Gath will be serving up sweet or savory crepes from the Cruisin’ Crepes Food Truck. JoMo’s Meat Roasting will be donating pulled pork sliders. Sorrentos will provide fancy cheeses to go along with other hors d’oeuvres. Wine and beer will be served. A basket rafe and silent auction includes BPO tickets, a Lake Erie sailboat cruise, a stay at Oasis B&B, a kayak, atscreen TV, paintings, handmade local sausage and gift items from Rhapsody’s / Fresh, My Best Friend’s Closet, DonChelle, Nature’s
Remedy and more. Current sponsors include Springville Eye Care, Springville Pediatrics, Springville Door & Window, Homewear, Metro Kirsch, Timberbuit, & Springville Faculty Association.

The Ellicottville Central School Quiz Bowl Team participated in the National Academic Competition in Washington, DC over the first weekend of June. They qualified for the competition back in February
when they won the Scholastic Challenge in Portville. At Nationals, they beat teams from three different states and were competitive in all six matches, but came up 25 points shy of going to the playoff round. A great job was done by (l to r): Shelby Toth, Parker Rieman,
Victor Rieman, Robert Spell, Will Timkey, Kaitlyn Smith, and Louisa Benatovich. The team thanks the Ellicottville Teachers Association and the Ellicottville Parent-Teacher Organization for their support of the trip.

Boot Camp
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
BOOT CAMP. Words to describe how our military train. There are no better role models for strong bodies than our men and women in the military. Boot camp is comprised of four key principles—fortitude, endurance, agility and power. The goal to improve mobility, speed and stamina to outwork and outlast the opposition. Every summer, Core Performance offers its version of boot camp. A 4-week program that pushes all participants of every fitness level to dig deeper into their mental and emotional strength
to extract the words, “I can’t” from their daily vocabulary and embrace the athlete within. Every year, our participants wonder why they are working out at the ungodly hour of 6:30 a.m. three mornings a week. But, by the end of every sweatsoaked class filled with cardio, strength and agility challenges, you will be hard-pressed to find anyone regretting one second of it. Like every year prior, my fitness teammate, Debbie Fredrickson, and myself, have been hard at work finding new ways to challenge our participants without complicating the workouts. We keep important and basic elements in every workout to ensure efficiency, yet add challenges to promote serious calorie burn. The camaraderie also helps. A group makes you accountable to show up, and the support helps you push through an intense workout. This year we have enlisted the help of our good friend Brittany Lowery of Wholesome Hideaway to help keep our fit bodies properly fueled.
Dairy Fest parade • Photos by Alicia Dziak
Because what good is training your body if you are only polluting it with your fuel? So Wholesome Hideaway will be providing two breakfast options. Our boot campers can choose from a breakfast bowl consisting of steel cut oats, fruit, hemp seeds, chia seeds, coconut, walnuts and cinnamon OR a smoothie made with spinach, berries, plant protein, almond milk, chia seeds and hempseeds. If you are interested in participating in Core Performances Boot Camp, you need to act soon. Space is limited and we already have many participants signed up. Start date is July 6 and classes are every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6:30 to 7:15am. This year, participants receive two bonus classes since our first class starts midweek due to the July 4th holiday. In all, you get 14 classes for $120.

My mother would always say, “Brian’s the one we just didn’t expect to come along.” Translation: they thought they were out of bullets, but I was lurking in the chamber. And while we’re on the subject, what the heck were you thinking expecting nine? Maybe a second bathroom in the house would have been a good idea. In the 70s, my father wanted to put an in-ground pool in our back yard. My mother quickly put the kibosh on that plan. Her rationale was that if every one of her children had just one friend over, she would be life guarding for 20 people. Selfish woman. Luckily for us, my parents found a mutually beneficial solution – Holiday Valley. With the family pass, all twelve of us got to swim and golf for the entire summer. The cost? Two hundred bucks. That’s less than it costs for a foursome to play 18 today. That’s just under $17 per person for the entire summer. They charged the same amount for that pass regardless of how many people were in your immediate family. Clearly we were taking advantage of
the system. Dunklemans for the win! It worked out perfectly for everyone. Mom and Dad would drop us off in the morning and pick us up early in the evening, giving us a day filled with fun and them a much needed break to do whatever it was they enjoyed doing. In retrospect, it’s pretty clear what that was. I remember that huge cement wall behind the pool’s diving board, and watching the older kids do can openers, bananas and cannonballs to see who could make the highest splash mark on it. Rick Jackson remains undefeated. I remember peering through the chain-link fence along with a huge gallery of kids as the golfers teed off on the old par 3, number seven. We cheered when they stuck one close, and laughed and mocked them when they hit a worm burner. I remember the old golf pro Eddie Sams picking me up and putting me in the garbage can every time he saw me. Still not sure what that was all about, but we both really seemed to enjoy it at the time. I remember my dad teeing off on the first hole, hitting that huge rock in the creek that was 20 yards in front of us, the ball ricocheting back up over his head, and landing in the pond behind us. Multiple times. I remember getting yelled at by the lifeguard every day for hanging on the rope that separated the shallow end from the deep. It was fun, I was seven. What was I supposed to do, not hang on it? And when that whistle was blown and the lifeguard yelled, “Adult swim! Everybody under eighteen out of the pool for fifteen minutes!” A collective groan was followed by an excruciating eternity till that next whistle came.
My memories of that time are so strong that several years into my adult life I still had a recurring dream that the entire bottom of the pool was covered with quarters or gumballs. Just hearing a song from one of those summers like “Driver’s Seat” by Sniff ‘n’ the Tears, or the opening saxophone of Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street” overwhelms me with such a strong sense memory, that if I close my eyes I can see it exactly as it was. A lot has changed in nearly four decades. That huge wall is gone, but there are now three pools, a cool tube slide and several multi-tiered sundecks. The golf course has grown from a simple nine-hole layout carved into the slopes into an extremely challenging, well manicured 18 which was nominated a few years back by Golf Magazine as one of the best redesigns in the country. Five years ago the resort launched Sky High Adventure Park, offering a climbing forest with zip lines and a twisting mountain roller coaster that tops out at 26 miles an hour. Of course, Holiday Valley is best known as a winter ski resort. It’s amazing how many times I’ve talked to people all over the country who have either skied there or heard of it. But between my wonderful childhood memories, along with all the improvements and cool new additions, I’ll take the summertime every time.

‘The Weekenders’ by Mary Kay Andrews Riley Griggs has a season of good times with friends and family ahead of her on Belle Isle when things take an unexpected turn. While waiting for her husband to arrive on the ferry one Friday afternoon, Riley is confronted by a process server who thrusts papers into her hand. And her husband is nowhere to be found. So she turns to her island friends for help and support, but it turns out that each of them has their own secrets, and the clock is ticking as the mystery deepens...in a murderous way. Cocktail parties aside, Riley must find a way to investigate the secrets of Belle Island, the husband she might not really know, and the summer that could change everything. Told with Mary Kay Andrews’ trademark blend of humor and warmth, and with characters and a setting that you can’t help but fall for, The Weekenders is the perfect summer escape. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as an audio book and will be available soon as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 14,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Rick also had a lengthy political career starting in Olean as an alderman. After moving to Allegany he was a village trustee. Then, in March 1999, he became mayor of the village of Allegany. Rick proudly served the village of Allegany as mayor for 16 years. During that time, he was elected as a Cattaraugus County legislator, a position he enjoyed for five years. He loved hunting, fishing, bird watching, gardening, the music channels (especially Solid Gold Oldies), making soup, sweets, Freecell and the company of his dogs, Gus and ZuZu. Rick was the proud father to his son, Ryan, and his daughter, Erica, and was the epitome of a great guy. He was selfless to a fault, never too busy to lend a hand, and was always offering up his service. He was the most quick-witted, intelligent and funny man you could know. He was also personable, clever and honest. We are all better for having known him, and he will be forever missed.

Dear Editor, It has come to my attention that there is a false rumor going around about the Ellicottville Police Department. The fact is that the Town Board at last month’s meeting, in executive session, discussed the police department in a financial sense because of the ongoing Ellicottville Police Officers Association (EPOA) negotiations. I thought it was important to give them a financial report on what we have spent on the department the last few years. Also, I thought they should be educated on cost comparisons with other town and the County police as well as their coverage to gauge our police coverage and cost. Since 2014, our Town Police expense will have increased nearly $75,000, and costs continue to go up. As financial officer of the Town, it is my duty and the Town Board’s duty to look at every department for ways to better serve and control spending. We have received information from the Towns of Randolph and Allegany and are waiting for information from the County for comparisons. There has been no discussion as a Town Board on eliminating the Ellicottville Police Department. The Board did see the importance of reviewing these cost and coverage comparisons moving forward. I am available, as well as any Town Board member, to answer any questions or concerns the public may have. Regards, Matt McAndrew Supervisor, Town of Ellicottville
Dear Editor, It is such a pleasure working and volunteering at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is a beautiful place with its high ceilings, antler chandeliers and fireplace. It offers free WiFi, computers, laptops, kindle and iPads, books, movies, audio books, magazines, etc. for all to use and enjoy, plus of course, coffee and tea. Laura Flanagan is the administrator and is probably the most dedicated and helpful person you will ever meet. Laura is the heart and soul of the library. A new addition is the very talented and creative Cathy Lacy. You see her artistic endeavors all around the library, plus she teaches a number of fun classes in the Rotary Community room, which, by the way, is available for use just by calling or stopping in the library to see if this room is available and can fill a need for you and or the community. A dinner is given every year to recognize the volunteers and the board members for all the time they give to the library. That is such a wonderful treat. This library is friend to many, a place for all. I’m so proud to be a part of it. Joann Duke

Endless Summer Activities at Holiday Valley After the snow melts off the ski slopes, Holiday Valley offers a wide variety of summer activities for people of all ages to enjoy. Sky High Adventure Park includes the Aerial Park, the Climbing Forest, and the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster. The Aerial Adventure Park is the largest in New York State with 13 courses of varying difficulty, 173 obstacles, and 43 zip lines. The resort also recently installed five True Blue auto belay systems where instead of zip lining to exit a course a climber jumps off the final platform. Four of the True Blues lower the climber at six feet per second, but the “Quick Jump” on the Black Widow course lets them free fall for 15 feet before they slow to the six feet per second fall rate. It’s a thrill, for sure! Located next to the Aerial Park, the Climbing Forest offers a 3-D climbing wall with the climbing holds strapped to tree trunks. There are 10 trees to climb of varying difficulty to challenge kids and adults alike. The Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster is 4,800 feet in length with a downhill track of 2,940 feet and a drop of 283 feet. The track consists of 15 curves, 12 waves, a jump, plus a huge spiral, and carves a beautiful path through the woods of the resort that everyone in the family will love. And since the rider has control of the speed of their car, one can choose to race down the exciting track or sit back and enjoy the scenery! Holiday Valley’s Double Black Diamond course is 6500
yards of scenic and challenging golf. The course winds across the rolling terrain at the base of the ski slopes to create 18 holes to remember! Each hole has four sets of tees that will challenge the low handicapper, yet allow less experienced players to enjoy the course as well and keep the pace of play moving. With various leagues to join throughout the week, lessons available from a PGA professional, and state of the art teaching equipment, golfers of all skill levels can find ways to improve their game. The Holiday Valley pool complex opens on weekends starting May 21, then daily on June 21. Guests can relax at a lap pool, toddler pool, and an activity pool complete with a diving board and slide. The complex is the social hub of the Ellicottville scene with poolside food and beverage service from the Cabana Bar and John Harvard’s Brew House. Holiday Valley has been a mecca for mountain biking ever since Western New York
Trail Talk Continued from front page
Trail along Parkside Drive to the Town Center. Burrell, who is a longtime member of EVGV Trail committee, explained that each developer is building a housing development on opposite sides of Fillmore Drive. As part of their building permits, both are required to construct sidewalks. Parts of the required sidewalks already have been completed along Fillmore, but Burrell is suggesting that the funds earmarked for some of the rest of the sidewalks be diverted to a section of trail. The current plan calls for Sprague to construct another sidewalk along Parkside Drive opposite the Village Park between Fillmore and Mechanic. Niagara’s permit requires the company to extend its side of the Fillmore sidewalk to Parkside. Burrell proposes to exchange both of those remaining sidewalks with a sidewalk on the other side of Parkside, directly adjacent to the Park, making that the first physical length of the EVGV
trail. The section of road is on the planned trail route from the trailhead at Nannen Arboretum to Mechanic St. Burrell described building an 8-foot wide concrete sidewalk with a curb. The existing fence alongside the park ballfields would be moved and all necessary Village and Planning Board approvals would be obtained. Burrell said he has support from the Village board and the Village planning board. Both developers are interested in working with the trail board. However, firm cost estimates must be calculated to determine if there is enough money in their budgets to complete the work. Burrell said he hopes other interested “partners” or donors will consider joining efforts to build this first section of the EVGV Trail. Burrell plans to report on this project at the next Village board meeting, scheduled for Monday, June 13 at 6 p.m. The EVGV trail board thanked Burrell for his efforts and agreed to continue the
discussion. In other business, board member Mark Alianello reported that there has been progress on building the trailhead structure which will mirror the iconic Nannen Arboretum entrance next to it at the Town Center. BOCES instructor Terry Fuller is supervising a group of students which is sawing the timbers to be used in the construction of the structure. The plan is for construction to begin in September when school resumes, with completion expected in the fall of 2016. Alianello also reported that wetlands scientist Eric Cruller will be re-surveying the proposed route of the trail from the Town Center to Route 219 after Alianello had several positive discussions about trail easements with land owners. Once the revised survey has been submitted, Alianello hopes to present the plan to the Town planning board, and then outline a construction calendar.

Mountain Biking Association built 35 miles of singletrack in the state forest land adjoining Holiday Valley property. This summer the resort is completing a new 2 mile flow trail that starts at Spruce Lake, winds back and forth across the ski slopes and finishes at the Yodeler area. This trail will be an easy way down the mountain for families and newer riders, but will also be fun for experienced riders to get some serious G’s around the banked turns. New this summer, adventure goers will be able to enjoy stand up paddleboarding on Spruce Lake at the top of the mountain. This activity is available by appointment through Adventure Bound in Ellicottville, (716) 217-4047. Chairlift rides on the Spruce Lake chair will be available on weekends starting August 6. Riders can then choose to take the lift back to the base or hike down one of the many scenic trails at Holiday Valley.
BCH Women’s Association
Dinner and Volunteer Acknowledgements At its annual installation dinner in June, the Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Women’s Association recognized two members for their long service to the group. Dorothy Slating, who joined in 1973, and Ellie Kirkendall, who joined in 1978, have each served as Women’s Association president and other offices. They were part of the group as it opened the BCH Gift Shop in 1982-1983, and participated in trash & treasure auctions, membership teas, Christmas bazaars and the annual fashion show, all in support of fundraising for the hospital and nursing home. The group also presented a check to Darlene Schrantz, RN,

As always, children 12 and under are free with ticketed adults. We are also one of only a few outdoor venues that allow people to bring in coolers, picnic baskets, what have you. All we ask is that you take out what you bring in. As the weekend gets closer, we are getting more and more excited about the festival and about all that makes Ellicottville such a special place in the summer time.” Want to upgrade your weekend experience?

from ear to ear. It has been a wild few weeks for the new owner of Java Bay Café. On May 27, the General Manager of Coffee Culture since April 2015, heard that his place of employment would be shutting down for good. Obviously upset from this news and worried about his and his staff’s future, Lee immediately started contemplating if he could open up his own Café. Lee made a call to Kody Sprague, owner of the building, and asked if he could help broker a deal to keep the business running. It worked. On Monday, May 30, Coffee Culture did not open its doors. On Tuesday, May 31, they cleaned out. On Wednesday at 6 a.m., Lee opened the doors to Java Bay Café. “I have wanted to have my own place since I was kid, and now the dream is coming true,” Lee said. “The first day we were open, so many locals stopped by to say hello and that they were glad I am here.” Everyone living in and visiting Ellicottville expects to see people in front of the café, sitting by the fire, kicking off their day/night in the village with a cup of coffee. Steve did not want this iconic part of the Ellicottville scene to just disappear, especially before the busy summer shopping/ walking season begins. Menu Refresh Lee can’t help but light up as he starts talking about the new menu. “Of course there will be your breakfast sandwiches and pastries, and the feel of the menu will be similar,” he said. “But the aim is to have fresher products, better selections of deli meats, many more salads – and breakfast will be served all day.” Lee looks forward to catering more to the community, listen to his customers and try to accommodate as much as possible. “Coffee Culture was too cookie cutter, too in the box,” Lee said. “There were a lot of franchise regulations I will not have to follow at Java Bay.”
Currently, Java Bay Café has soy and almond milk for people who are lactose intolerant. Lee is working out a deal on glutenfree products, as his aim is to be as allergy friendly as possible. A big aspect he wants to emphasize is catering for breakfast and lunch. Special orders are encouraged and Lee plans to offer box lunches that will be “perfect for your hiking or biking adventure at Spruce Lake or kayak trip down the Allegany River.” Again, Lee reiterates: “please let us know ahead of time of allergies, as we want to be as accommodating as possible.” Another thing that Lee says sets them apart “is we use freshly ground espresso beans for our frozen and iced coffee drinks.” Features and daily specials, along with ideas such as sub of the month, will come along in the future. Cosmetic updates will be addressed sometime this summer, which include adding arbor trestles around the courtyard and its entrances (pending planning board approval) that would really define the outdoor space, four more tables for a total of eight outside and redo all of the floral arrangements. Inside there are plans for a fresh coat of paint and more local artwork on the walls. For the short term, Lee plans on getting temporary signage up and new menu boards along with paper menus. New permanent signage will follow. Lee aims to have wireless internet back up within the
week and encourages a work friendly environment. “Bring your laptop/tablet, grab a coffee, a bite to eat and get working on that next project.” He also looks to have a leave-a-book/take-a-book shelf, “so that you can find that next book you never picked up at the store or library.” Keeping it Local “I want every person who walks through the door to feel like they are part of the community. That is how I will make this a local business, not a corporate franchise. I will get to listen and receive feedback, implementing what I can.” Through the transition, Lee was able to keep seven Coffee Culture employees, and hopes to hire more as the busier seasons approach. All of the new uniforms will be sourced locally from The Monogram Shoppe in Little Valley (the owner’s daughter is one of Lee’s employees). This seems like one more way Lee intends on breaking through the corporate ambiance that once filled the café. “I get to work toward something for my kids’ future, which makes so happy.” Lee can be reached in person at the restaurant for now until a new land line is up within the week. You can also find them on Facebook as Java Bay Cafe, Instagram as @javabaycafe and online at javabaycafe. com. Their hours are currently Monday – Thursday from 6 a.m. – 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 6 a.m. – 10 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. – 9 p.m.

of the world;” these wooden lasts (shoe forms) used to make and repair shoes were sent all over the country until 1950. Of course, the museum includes a wonderful exhibit about Ellicottville’s winter sports tourism, as well as a brand new permanent exhibit on one particular Ellicottville resident, Abe Maybee. According to Dunbar, Abe, an eleven-year old black child from Ontario, ran away from home and was found on the street by an Ellicottville farmer. The farmer invited Abe to stay at his home with his wife and several children; a reluctant Abe responded by saying, “Maybe,” and eventually lived with the family for eleven years. During the Civil War, Abe joined an all-black regiment in New York City, and traveled to Louisiana where he spent the majority of the war fighting along the Mississippi River. Although he was injured twice throughout the war, Abe came home to Ellicottville and then moved to Kane, PA, to work in the oil fields. Abe again returned home to Ellicottville where he was a barber for 50 years, as well as one of the last few members of the Grand Army of the Republic. The historical society’s exhibit shares Abe’s incredible journey around the country and unique experience in the Civil War. Dunbar invites everyone to

June Garden Tips By: Lyn Chimera, Master Gardener, Cornell Cooperative Extension
Looks like we’ve skipped June and gone right into July! The following are some tips for this hot, dry start of the summer that is turning to cooler and wet – what is the weather going to do next?: Watering: Dry weather can create a definite need to water. It’s better to water deeply once or twice a week than a little bit each day. The water needs to penetrate the soil 6-8 inches - where the roots are. Shallow watering evaporates quickly and causes the roots to stay up near the surface, thereby drying out sooner during dry periods. Any newly planted or moved plants should be watered almost daily depending on how much sun they are in. It’s best to water them before they get droopy as drying out saps their strength and makes them weak. Watering is most effective when done early in the morning or when the sun is low in the evening. Most of the water evaporates when you water in the sun. Watering the lawn at this point is not really necessary. Grass will go dormant (turn brown) after a long dry spell and will green up again when the rain returns. Don’t forget to water trees and shrubs. Except for newly planted trees and shrubs, watering should not be done at the base of the trunk, rather out where the feeder roots are. Lily Leaf Beetle: This is a relatively new invasive insect that attacks true lilies (not daylilies). I’ve had them on my lilies this year for the first time although they have been in northern areas for a few years. They are small, under half an inch, and bright red. Actually, they are a beautiful insect; however,
all stages of the lily leaf beetle eat all parts of a lily plant. Because of their bright color they are easily spotted on leaves. If you see one you can squash it or nock it into a container of soapy water. The eggs are very small, bright orange/red and laid along the veins on the underside of the leaves. They are easily rubbed off. Once hatched, the larva cover themselves with their own feces so look like an oval piece of wet mud. These can be rubbed off (definitely wear gloves). For more information about the lily leaf beetle, pictures and control method go to: https://extension.umaine. edu/publications/2450e Garden chores: Weeding is an ongoing task. It’s much easier to weed after a rain or watering. Ordinarily June is a good time to divide and move perennials. However, due to the hot dry weather I’m waiting until fall to do some major moving I haven’t yet gotten to. The plants are so big now they won’t react as well to being moved in this weather. Start keeping an eye out for fungal diseases like powdery mildew. Mulching now will really make a difference in reducing weeds and watering needs during the summer. Avoid the new colored wood mulch products. The dyes are not good for the environment and they do nothing to add nutrients to the soil.

A Tricycle Just for Trenton
By Jann Wiswall
Great Valley seven-year-old Trenton Pierce was on the Rochester television news Sunday evening after receiving a big surprise – a brand new adaptive tricycle. “He can’t wait to ride with his sister,” said his mother, Jordan Pierce. The gift was made by the Beamer Hughes Foundation during its 11th Annual Beamer Bash fundraising event. BHF is a nonprofit organization located in Rochester that provides services and equipment to patients with muscular dystrophy. Trenton was diagnosed with a rare form of the disease known as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in December. The cruel disease is found in about one of 3,500 boys of all races and is usually diagnosed between ages 2 and 7. It is characterized by progressive muscle weakness over several years that eventually also causes serious issues related to the heart and lungs. Boys with DMD usually live into their 20s or early 30s. Over time, it is predicted that Trenton, who now has leg braces but is still mobile, will need other devices including wheelchairs, and modifications will be needed at the Pierce home to make it accessible. At Ellicottville Central School, where Trenton is in Kindergarten, special education teachers are on hand to provide all of the specialized educational services Trenton will need over the years. There is a team of doctors and nurses and social workers and physical therapists and others in Buffalo who participate in Trenton’s care. And, Trenton is participating in clinical trials at the neuromuscular disease center at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. The trial is comparing two steroid medications; some steroids have been shown to prolong mobility up to three additional years. Of course, all of this costs a lot of money, said Jordan. Insurance covers a lot of his medical expenses, but not the associated expenses such as “travel to and from Rochester and his regular doctors in Buffalo and time off from work,” she pointed out. “I’ve used all of my vacation and sick leave this year already!” At a meeting with a representative from the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), the Pierce’s were asked if there was anything they needed. Jordan and husband Tony mentioned that Trenton really enjoyed using an adaptive tricycle with his physical therapist. But the cost of the trike (estimated at $1500) was just not in the cards for the family. So the MDA representative applied for a grant from the Beamer Hughes Foundation on Trenton’s behalf and the rest is history. “Trenton had no idea anything was up,” said Jordan about their trip to Rochester for the BHF Gala last weekend. “When they brought out the tricycle, he whispered, ‘Mommy, is that my bike?’” It’s going to make a difference, his mom thinks. “Trenton knows he’s not as fast as other kids, and he’s always been afraid of falling,” she said. “Now he’ll be able to ride bikes with his little sister and his friends and go just as fast as they do.” For more information about this disease and efforts to find a cure, visit the Muscular Dystrophy Association at www.mda.org or Cure Duchenne at www.cureduchenne.org.
