A SURE SIGN OF SUMMER. The recent weather may indicate otherwise, but summer is on the horizon, and a sure sign is the return of the Farmers Market on the South Campus. Despite gloomy skies, Maureen Schuh and her daughter, Jamie, turned out on Saturday to purchase beans from Jessica Koch of Olean. The market, located in the parking lot along Main Street near Kenmore Avenue, will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine, on Saturdays through the summer. (Photo: Nancy J. Parisi)
