It's happening again...They're trading places in the park again. Do not be alarmed - this occurs at least once a year in Lakeview Park - so-and-so moves out, so so-and-so decides to move in, so so-and-so sees an empty trailer and moves in as fast as the last so-and-so moved out. (trying to protect people's identities can be so tricky. I think I did a so-so job).To give you a little history on

Gunshots have been heard several times in the last week at odd hoursTrailerites should be cautious but not alarmed by the occasional report of a gunshot in the Trailer Park. It turns out the shots are coming from the Sniper in Lot #9 and are part of a campaign to rid the park of Unpleasant Rodents. The shot that was heard this morning at approx. 7:12 AM resulted in the swift and painless (for the

Hidden away in the valley at the end of Seneca Lake, the Catherine Valley Trail is a secret too good to keep silent about.On a recent family bike ride, this reporter was delighted to discover the beauty of Catharine Valley, just outside of Watkins Glen.The trail begins off a quiet dead end in the little village of Millport, and continues into the town of Montour.

What is it with people feeling the need to feed all the strays that drop on their door step? I mean seriously. From dogs to cats, there seems to be an abundance of loose animals wandering the trailer park. They obviously have no one to care for them and so certain individuals have taken to feeding them. It's starting to cause a problem; especially for the cat population. We currently have a

Some interesting news has just surfaced.Mrs. Edgar Sute has now reported a suspected alien landing on the night of May 24th. She says she was just enjoying a nice peaceful evening when suddenly she heard some weird sounds coming from the neighbor's back lawn. She observed a bright light, possibly a fire, and many strange figures around it. Supposedly they had glowing ears, or rings around their

I was driving down the road today and noticed something.What is up with all the cars that are one color but have a different color door? I mean, I know there are accidents, people hit other cars, fire hydrants, and trees and have to replace a door. Or a side panel. Not a big deal. But why is it that they always get such a contrasting color to their original car color? I mean, there's always a red

Ovid remembered our veterans in style on Memorial Day.Residents gathered along the streets of Ovid yesterday at noon for the annual Memorial Day Parade. Highlights included the High school's marching band which was first in the county last year, all of Ovid's fire and rescue vehicles, and, of course, the candy.This young resident enjoyed the free flag he received from a lady in the parade, and

It's gonna be a hot one in the park today, and even warmer tomorrow. Here are some tips for staying cool in the park1. Open all doors and windows early in the day to fill your trailer with the cool morning air. Due to the temperature extremes between night and day in May in New York, this means you may have to put on your winter coat again while you eat breakfast. Don't worry, you'll be plenty

The Ovid Strawberry Festival is celebrating 25 years on Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20th.This June residents and fans of our small town will gather to celebrate 25 years of celebrating strawberries. Now, if you think that strawberries are a small thing to center a town festival around, up in Montezuma they have a parade and all in honor of the mosquito. As one loyal Ovid resident said, "

Rain, rain, go away, and quit flooding the trailer park... It has been reported that rain again brought flooding to the trailer park. After some hard rain, residents looked out their windows to see some major flash flooding. The pot holes are becoming bigger due to the rain and constant traffic and so are collecting more water than before. Thankfully the water drained out of them before we had to

Mr. Landsbury says the house has just come alive with little pattering feet. There is one problem as to catching the little mice though, apparently the mice are so small that they are not getting caught by the traps.

Many hands make light work at Lot 10. Half the trailer park turned out in true neighborly fashion to help put a set of new front steps on the trailer on Lot 10. After much sawing, pounding, rock moving and shoveling, the steps are now in place. The happy couple is enjoying them immensely and are very thankful for all the help.

The power went out in the trailer park from about 5am to just before 8am this morning.One would think this would be a quiet, convenient time of day for the power to go out- what with everyone sleeping calmly, yet the daylight already seeping over the eastern horizon negating the need for artificial light. Unfortunately such was not the case. Us trailerites need electricity same as the rest of the

The squirrel population in the trailer park has been growing lately. I talked with Mr. and Mrs. Scratch a couple days ago in reference to their recent move to the roof top location in Lot 10."We were evicted from our previous residence at 132 Oak Tree and just had to find a new place to live. With little ones on the way, you know, it wouldn't do at all for us to be stranded under a shed somewhere

For those of you who have nerves of steel there is a new sport in the trailer park. But for those of you who can't stand heights or flinging yourself into mid air, you may want to send yourself a memo to never, I repeat NEVER, attempt this feat.The boy instigated the first jump.

Rain causes temporary problems for residents On Friday, May 8th, there was localized flooding in front of lot 10. A driving rain, accompanied by thunder and wind, caused the potholes in front of the residence to flood. All the occupants are said to be safe, but were stranded inside their house for a few hours. The water has now dissipated and life has returned to normal.Rob Bassett

Spring is in the trailer park! The bees are buzzing, you can hear lawn mowers working hard to trim back the abundance of dandelions, and the trees have leafed out in all their green glory. The lilac at lot #7 is now in full bloom, nearly engulfing the far end of the trailer. The happy homemakers in lots 9 and 10 wish their neighbor were not quite so reclusive so they could have a relationship
