Ellicottville Central graduates 38
On the evening of Friday, June 28, Ellicottville Central School hosted its 125th Commencement Ceremony for 38 students adorned in maroon and white. This was the fourth graduation to transpire in the “Ward,” the school’s gymnasium honoring retired Superintendent Mark War. As ECS seniors prepared to bid farewell to the comfort of high school, a bittersweet but welcome feeling, families and graduates shared a heartfelt tear or embrace. The graduates processed eagerly to the tune of “Pomp and Circumstance,” counting down the moments until they became alumni of their alma mater. Salutatorian and Class President Meganne Chapman addressed her classmates by reminiscing past excitements, recounting field trips

And guess what, we’re terrified…and happy and exhausted and confused.” Benatovich elaborated that these feelings were shared by not only the graduates but also by the entire audience. “We are all a part of this moment of miraculous change. Look around, it’s incredible.” Benatovich addressed her class with the wise words of Beth Baldwin, ECS 1998 Valedictorian, “I hope that you choose the path in life that brings you the most happiness and success.” After 14 years of “falling,” Benatovich believes that, as a whole, the Class of

‘Tight Rope’ by Amanda Quick
Former trapeze artist Amalie Vaughn moved to Burning Cove to reinvent herself, but things are not going well. After spending her entire inheritance on a mansion with the intention of turning it into a bed-andbreakfast, she learns too late that the villa is said to be cursed. When the first guest, Dr. Norman Pickwell, is murdered by his robot invention during a sold-out demonstration, rumors begin to circulate that the curse is real. Meanwhile, Matthias Jones is on the trail of a groundbreaking prototype cipher machine. He suspects that Pickwell stole the device and planned to sell it. But now Pickwell is dead and the machine has vanished. When Matthias’s investigation leads him to Amalie’s front door, the attraction between them is intense, but she knows it is also dangerous. Amalie and Matthias must decide if they can trust each other and the passion that binds them, because time is running out. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book or as an audiobook using our interlibrary loan program, or you can download for free as an eBook version to your own device using your library card!

Tech Tuesdays to be offered at Ellicottville library
By Louisa Benatovich
Poised to outdo themselves yet again, the Ellicottville Memorial Library is adding another top-of-the-line workshop to its repertoire. This free four-part series run by dynamic duo Katie Benatovich and Gail Patterson will cater not only to those searching for clarity in Microsoft Office, but also those wishing to educate themselves on how to live a wellbalanced, nutritive life. Beginning July 2, Katie Benatovich began her lessons outlining the basics of four Microsoft Office programs for all wishing to become better-versed in this now-necessary global computer application. Gail Patterson, a nutrition educator at the Cornell Cooperative Extension, will provide refreshments and facilitate a brief conversation about EFNEP, the Expanded Food and Nutrition
Education Program. “Our goal is to build on what people already know to make healthy choices within their means,” Patterson said of the program. “We want people to strengthen their knowledge of basic nutrition and provide nutritious meals for their families no matter the circumstance.” “How does this tie together with technology?” asked Benatovich. “Well, no one can function at high-level, especially not when learning new things, if their minds are not properly nourished.” “This is the perfect opportunity for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to come together and learn a thing or two,” she continued. “Even if the information does not affect them personally, they could use that knowledge to help someone else in their lives.” Join these lovely

ladies at the Ellicottville Memorial Library on Tuesday, July 9 from 6-7:30pm. This week, they will be taking an in-depth look at the marvelous Microsoft Excel. Don’t worry, Gail’s yummy snacks are guaranteed to help you power through. Though laptops can be provided by the library, bringing your own is
definitely encouraged. As the weeks progress, participants will become experts in the everelusive Microsoft Excel PowerPoint (July 16) and Publisher (July 23). Come on down to the Ellicottville Memorial Library and join in the fun. Ages 14 and up are welcome.
DEC reports progress in eradicating invasive hogweed
Remember giant hogweed, the vile invasive plant species that made a lot of news in New York state a few years ago? Well, the state Department of Environmental Conservation says that efforts to control giant hogweed are making substantial headway in eradicating the large — and in some cases — dangerous plant. The Giant Hogweed Program, managed by DEC’s Division of Lands and Forests, is in its 12th year and has eradicated the plants from 623 sites, with another 448 plant-free sites being monitored. “With the assistance of our local partners, DEC’s Giant Hogweed Program has made excellent progress in removing this dangerous invasive from New York communities,” says DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos. “DEC not only works to eradicate this health hazard but also to raise public awareness about how to recognize it, avoid it and report it. We urge New Yorkers to stay vigilant and report potential giant hogweed to DEC, especially during the next few weeks as the plants begin to bloom and become more noticeable.” Giant hogweed can cause severe skin and eye irritation, including painful burns and scarring when skin exposed to its sap becomes more sensitive to UV radiation. As a noxious weed, is unlawful to propagate, sell or transport. In addition to health
concerns, giant hogweed negatively impacts the state’s ecosystem by crowding out native plants and contributing to soil erosion. Over the years, DEC and its regional and municipal partners has led to the confirmation of 2,484 giant hogweed sites in 51 counties. The majority of active sites are concentrated in Central and Western New York. With landowner permission, crews visit and remove these invasive plants using root-cutting, herbicide, and umbel (flower head) removal control methods. DEC released a 2018 Annual Report, which details the progress being made to identify giant hogweed and eradicate this noxious weed. During the 2018 season: Crews visited 1,993 sites to survey for or control giant hogweed; No plants were found for the third consecutive year at 118 sites, bringing the total number of eradicated sites to 623 — an increase of 25 percent from 2017; Of all sites previously treated for infestation, 43 percent (1,071 sites) had no plants in 2018; Crews removed approximately 678,000 plants from 1,271 sites during the 2018 field season; Stream surveys were conducted for the first time last year. Crews searched upstream for additional infestations that may have contributed to known
giant hogweed locations from seeds being carried downstream. A twoperson crew visited 317 stream-side properties, surveyed 37.6 miles of stream frontage, and found 76 new infestations; Of the sites statewide that still had plants, 71 percent (1,005) had less than 100 plants and are considered small sites that can be eradicated relatively quickly. DEC expects many more of these sites to have no new plants in the next few years; and Larger sites are responding well to control. Many larger sites that required herbicide treatment are now small enough to be treated by root cutting. Fewer sites have large flowering plants and, in general, sites are patchier than in previous years. If a member of the public finds giant hogweed, do not touch the plant, take photos of the entire plant (stem, leaves, flower, seeds), note the location, and send a report with the information via email to ghogweed@dec.ny.gov, text to (518) 320-0309 or call the Information Line at (845) 256-3111. If confirmed, DEC will contact the landowner to discuss control options. To report and learn more about other invasive species, the public can use the iMapInvasives database and mapping tool that helps share and coordinate information about detections and response efforts.

RODEO
Continued from front page “We put more seating in, and we’re prepared to put more seating down during the show if needed,” Kent says. Currently, the setup has space for about 2,800 people, but additional seats could be added to accommodate more than 3,000 spectators. Kent said preparations for the rodeo — which nearly always takes place near the first weekend in July — often begins in March, when they purchase everything from merchandise to advertisements and get sponsorships together. As Kent and his crew set up the property last week, the bleachers and stands on the hillside sat quiet, overlooking what resembled a lawn more than a rodeo arena. But in the week leading up to the rodeo, the arena would be installed and the small field would be filled with sand for the hundreds of cowboys that’ll show up. “When you come pulling in my driveway, you see a nice, clean place. We specialize in that and I want it to stay that way,” Kent
By Deb Everts
said. “I keep improving and keep things painted up nice.” New to the rodeo this year will be Jerry Todd, a long-time announcer who is an old friend of the Ellicottville Championship Rodeo from its earliest days. “The rodeo announcer is on horseback, so that might be good watching, seeing him get chased around the arena by a bucking horse or a bull,” Kent said. As part of the rodeo tradition, the Ellicottville Championship Rodeo will feature Dusty the Clown as well, a friend of both the new announcer and Kent for many years. There’s also the kid’s stick horse rodeo for children 10 and under. Gates open two hours before the show begins to allow guests time to come and enjoy the food as well as craft vendors set up near the arena. Looking to the rodeo’s 32nd year and beyond, Kent said he doesn’t see any signs of stopping yet.

“It’s a business that ain’t going to quit. People love the rodeo and love the action here,” he said. “I just try to make it right for everybody that comes here so they have a pleasant time.” Adult tickets for those ages 13 and up are
$20 at the gate. Tickets for children 6 to 12 are $12 each and children 5 and younger are admitted free. For more information on the Ellicottville Championship Rodeo, visit ellicottvillerodeo.com.
Winery of Ellicottville adds new porch for outdoor wine experience
With a new second story porch and two new hard ciders out this summer, The Winery of Ellicottville keeps getting bigger and better. Owners Sam and Bethany Sheehy welcome wine lovers to their establishment that is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this month. Looking back on those 10 years, Bethany said the week before they opened, in July 2009, they took the front half of the building off and added the second story, so the front half is all new. Then, in the past two years, they put in all new displays. The completely renovated space includes a charming tasting room featuring a handcrafted bar, a tank room that houses Photo by Deb Everts eight stainless steel wine tanks and 20 oak The Winery of Ellicottville has recently added a new porch on the second floor barrels, as well as a beautifully appointed of the building, adding an outdoor space for their customers to enjoy wine by conference room/private event space that is the glass while they sit and take some time to relax.

Summer Inexpensive ways to boost a home’s curb appeal may initially be drawn to a well-manicured lawn, prospective buyers will eventually find their way to the front door. If your door is especially old, consider replacing it. If your budget does not allow for such an expense, you can still give your home’s front entrance an entirely new look by installing some inexpensive molding around the door before giving the door a fresh coat of paint. Molding around the front door can make an entrance more impressive, while a new coat of paint can make a home feel warmer and more vibrant. · Plant flowers. Another inexpensive way to make a home more appealing is to plant some colorful flowers around the property. Line walkways with flowers native to your region, as such plants will last longer than exotic alternatives that may not be capable of adapting to the local climate. In addition to lining walkways, hang window boxes filled with colorful flowers or plants outside naked windows. Doing so can make windows seem larger and add some color to your home’s exterior. Another creative way to make use of colorful flowers is to place a few planters at the foot of your driveway and painting the numbers of your address on the planters. This can be both effortless and
Maintaining plant life on a property won’t cost homeowners a lot of money, but such an effort can add substantial curb appeal to a home.
inexpensive, but it can instantly make a home more inviting to prospective buyers. · Spotlight certain parts of your property. Many homeowners focus on improving the curb appeal of their property during the daytime hours, but you can take steps to make a home more appealing at night as well. Solar spotlights placed around trees and other attractive features in your yard can shed light on those areas of your property you’re most
proud of, even after the sun has gone down. Solar spotlights won’t add to your energy bill, as they are powered by the sun, and they can make certain accents on your property stand out at night. Improving curb appeal may sound like a significant undertaking, but there are many ways budget-conscious homeowners can make their home’s exterior more appealing without going broke.
When we gave our 4-wheel drive K9 an ergonomic design capable of carving through the most rugged terrain without your body taking a beating, and then gave it an all-metal hydraulic dump bed* so big that you can take a nap in it and an adjustable suspension with a cool foot of ground-clearance, we didn’t expect you to stick it in a corner in the garage to preserve its prettiness. We did it so you could wake up, have some coffee, and make putting it through hell feel like heaven. Every. Single. Day.

Curb appeal can go a long way toward making a home more attractive to its inhabitants as well as prospective buyers once the house is put on the market. Improving curb appeal is a goal for many homeowners, and while many projects aimed at making homes more aesthetically appealing can be costly, there are ways for cost-conscious homeowners to improve their properties without breaking the bank. · Put your green thumb to use. A wellmaintained landscape can dramatically improve a home’s curb appeal. Pay attention to the plants, shrubs and trees throughout your property, watering them during periods of little rainfall and trimming them when necessary so your lawn does not look like an overgrown, neglected suburban jungle. Professional landscaping services can help you maintain your property, but even if your budget does not allow for such an expense, you can still make sure your landscape adds to your home’s appeal by keeping a watchful eye on the property and addressing any issues that arise. Maintain your lawn through the colder months of the year as well, making sure no one walks on the grass when frost has settled, as doing so can produce dead spots throughout the lawn. · Redo your front door.

Ellicottville/Catt. Little Valley rallies for back-to-back District titles in 10-12 softball
Ellicottville/ Cattaraugus-Little Valley retained its crown in the District 2 10-12-year-old softball championship, but not without a few scares from Fillmore last week. Fillmore twice took a lead over the defending district champions, 4-2 after three innings and 8-5 after four, but ultimately ECLV rallied with a sixrun top of the sixth and held on later in the inning for a 13-8 victory. ECLV finished the doubleelimination tournament 3-0 and won its second consecutive district title and fifth in the last six
years. ECLV advanced to the Section 1 West Tournament, starting on Saturday at home in Ellicottville. After an opening loss on Saturday, ECLV beat Grand Island, 9-3, on Sunday. Pittsford edged ECLV on Monday in the elimination semifinals to end the team’s run. Courtney Marsh went 3-for-5 to lead ECLV batters, driving in two runs against Fillmore. Jaida Mendell went 2-for-2, walked three times, drove in three runs, scored twice and stole two bases. Ande Northrup went 2-for-3 and scored three
runs while Emmylu Carls (two walks, stolen base) and Hailey Rzucek marked a hit and an RBI each. For Fillmore, Hannah Southwick went 3-for-4 with an RBI, stolen base and two runs scored. She also struck out 10 batters in the pitchers’ circle. “We didn’t have any gray hair when this game started,” ECLV assistant coach Kevin Andrews quipped about the backand-forth contest. “In fact, we’re only 25,” head coach Jeff Horth added. But jokes aside, Horth, who last coached the 1012 all-stars in 2015, said he didn’t worry about his
team as it trailed Fillmore on Tuesday. “No, because this team doesn’t quit, ever. It doesn’t matter,” Horth said. “As long as there’s one out to play with, they play. So I wasn’t really worried. I thought we could hit (Southwick). She threw hard, she threw good, but we got them to move back in the box and by the third time around they were all hitting the ball.” Also for Fillmore, Jenna Hill went 3-for-4 with a double and a run. Hannah James (two runs), Morgan Yackeren and Abby Sullivan (double) had two hits each. After getting two runs

back from a three-run deficit in the fifth, ECLV broke through and took the lead for good in the sixth on four hits, two walks and a hit batter. “She’s a good pitcher,” Horth added. “She’s got to be tired, she pitched every inning of every game this tournament and three of them went the distance. “I think she might have been tiring a little bit, I mean she had to be. Like I said, my girls won’t quit. They’re going to swing the bat. When you swing the bat, things happen.”

Northrup had one strikeout in a complete game for ECLV and did not issue a walk. She earned the win in all three of ECLV’s District 2 games, two starts and one relief appearance. “My defense was A-plus,” Horth noted. “My pitching was incredible. She doesn’t walk anybody ever. I think this whole tournament she walked three or four batters, tops. She throws strikes, lets the defense play.”

County seeks local artists to showcase area as art destination The Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism is seeking both visual and performance arts groups and artisans to be considered for a marketing campaign to showcase the Enchanted Mountains as a destination for the art. The goal is to drive more traffic from outside visitors into the county to experience the art and local theater within the county. Those sought include local artisans, galleries, theater companies, dance studios, musical groups, businesses that host art classes, annual events and more. Cattaraugus County has a multitude of art galleries, dance studios, chorus groups, local theaters and nationally awarded artisans. Cattaraugus
County Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism would like to capitalize on the opportunity for travelers by promoting the extraordinary artistic talent of the local residents and organizations as a whole. A secondary goal of the marketing campaign is to drive traffic to already existing websites in the local art community. If interested, please submit the following information for consideration by July 14: a description of your art/organization/business, contact information and a photo to be used in publications. For further information or any questions, contact Samantha Hayes at 938-2307 or email slhayes@cattco.org.
