Story and Photo By John Thomas, Staff Writer
One of the most highly anticipated events of this year takes place today. Maribeth and Ed Rick have moved one of Ellicottville’s most popular establishments into new digs on the northeast corner of Washington and Monroe Streets. “We’re gathering up the essence of the Gin Mill, walking it across the street and letting it go!” says Maribeth. When she says the last part, her hands burst upwards like someone throwing confetti in the air. It’s just a small indication of the enthusiasm the couple has about the move. They are not the only ones; the move has been the talk of the town for the past six months. Your Correspondent was lucky enough to be given a guided tour of the establishment by Maribeth. The first thing you will notice is the size; it’s easily twice the size of the old place. The main area holds the original bar. Maribeth explains they added two eight-foot extensions making the entire bar 36 feet long. The brick walls all around extend upward to the 18-foot ceilings. The Ricks

By Carol Fisher The Senecas, are part of the larger Iroquois Confederacy of Nations: six Nations that joined to become one - the Mohawk (Keepers of the Eastern Door – of Central NYS), Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca (Keepers of the Western Door), and Tuscarora. They call themselves Haudenosaunee
(pronounced “hooh-dee-nohSHAW-nee”), or people of the longhouse, with doors to the east and west. In spirit, they are a 300-mile long longhouse across the state, hence the designated “keepers of the doors.” Members of these tribes belong to animal clans: Deer, Wolf and Bear; See “SENECA” Page 9

Publisher’s Word Reality check: is it me, or has this been the most awesome summer of fun you can remember in Ellicottville? It’s been just one weekend festival after another, and the quality of each event has been top notch! I must say, after last weekend’s Jazz Fest activities, I’m getting a little bushed. Shame on you if you missed it – we’re talking about top jazz musicians, who have all played with the big names in the world of jazz and blues. Free concerts outside all day, and a very lively nightlife all add up to one thing - I’m pooped! So, time to rest, right? Wrong …

By Brooke Szpaicher Have you checked out the newest addition to Holiday Valley’s summer activities? We have recently added eight Rossignol electric assist, or e-bikes, to our resort activities. E-bikes are a great way for riders of all abilities to climb and cruise
together. Whether you’re a “newbie” or a hardcore rider, the e-bikes help control the amount of power needed to ride up hills and cruise the terrain using eco, trails or boost mode settings. Like a regular bike, speed is controlled by pedaling, but with the feeling of a bit more power and accelerating is
easier. E-bikes are available to rent at Sky High Adventure Park daily from 9am to 5pm. A two-hour rental for $40 or three hour rental for $55, and $15 for each additional hour. Helmets are included in the rental price along with a trail map to show designated areas where e-bikes are permitted.

Comedy
Story. From Cover Lucille Ball. And fall in love is exactly what the world did. How could you not? Even the mere mention of her name elicits a smile and a laugh. Who doesn’t have a favorite episode of I Love Lucy? Haven’t we all told someone “you got some splainin’ to do” or let out a Lucy style “whaaaaaaa!!!” when something’s gone wrong? The colorful tapestry of her life caught people’s attention when television was black and white and continues to do so today. Needless to say, as Lucy’s hometown, Jamestown, NY has cornered the market on keeping her memory alive and well. Expecting this year to be the biggest and most well attended festival yet, the 2019 Lucille Ball Comedy Festival kicks off on Wednesday August 7th. Sharing the marquis as headliners for this year’s festival are John Mulaney (“There’s a horse...loose...in the hospital!”) on August 9 and Sebastian Maniscalco on August 10, two of the hottest stand-up comedians touring today. “This is the first time that we’ve hosted four headliner events”, says Gary Hahn, Director of Marketing and Communications at the

To solve a Sudoku puzzle, place a number into each box so that each row across, each column down, and each small 9 box square within the larger diagram (there are 9 of these) will contain every number from 1 through 9. In other words, no number will appear more than once in any row, column, or smaller 9 box square. Working with the numbers already given as a guide, complete each diagram with the missing numbers that will lead to the correct solution. Good luck!
