A Fair substitute: Wild West Show gunning to replace Survivor Team Derby  Submitted photoWild Bill and the Wild Bunch. 7/19/2007 - OBSERVER Staff ReportThe Chautauqua County Fair's "Survivor" team demolition derby scheduled for Thursday night of fair week hasn't been able to survive high gas prices and will be replaced at the Budweiser Grandstand with a show by Wild Bill and the Wild Bunch."Several demo team drivers said they couldn't participate this year because they are already running in our other derbies and the cost to bring in cars for the team competition had become prohibitive," said James Prince, co-chairman of the fair's entertainment committee. "The fair board decided that rather than having a small event, we wanted an alternative, full-scale show for people to enjoy. The wild west show will be a lot of fun for everyone."One driver informed the OBSERVER there were only four teams available to participate Thursday and the fair needed a mini...

Buying Your Chautauqua Home
2007-07-13 23:52:00
Buying A Home ? Now's The TimePublished July 13th, 2007 If you are the kind of person that watches the real estate market closely then this is no secret; now is the time to buy a home. As many of us have noticed, the real estate market has generally cooled off compared to what it was for the last decade. Over the last years America experienced a real estate boom the like of which had never been seen before. There were so many houses being constructed but that was just fine as there were just as many people in the market for a home so the whole thing worked out. However as with all such things, it never really lasts. For some time industry professionals have been fearing the "bubble bursting" and while this has indeed happened in some areas, the whole scale crash that was expected did not happen. What we have seen instead is the gradual cooling off of the market and its movement into a buyer's market. As you may have guessed this bodes well for home buyers. For many years the ...

Understanding Good Weeds Vs. Bad Weeds For the Chautauqua Waters hed Cons ervancy  The delicate, native Star duckweed takes center stage in a small collection of Chautauqua Lake plants. Photo by Jane Conroe 7/8/2007 - Weeds in the garden, weeds in the lake, weeds in the lawn — those of us who are fairly vigorous gardeners can get a little crazy about the darn things. They seem to always be where they are not wanted. In fact, an education colleague of mine explained the difference between soil and dirt in a similar context. Soil is a valuable, needed resource that provides plants and the food we need. Dirt is misplaced soil, like on the kitchen floor. I've used the same analogy for weeds; they are misplaced plants. Plants are a valuable, needed resource, while weeds are plants that are in an unwanted place.The weeds in the lake have acquired considerable attention and press coverage. Among them, know that there are both ''good weeds'' and ''bad weeds...

The beauty of the lake and its surroundings serve to bring family and friends together once a year for relaxation, education and just plain old-fashioned fun. In addition to reminiscing, meeting old friends and a time for peace and quiet, I also look forward to the plentiful wildlife found in the habitat. Chautauqua Lake, a glacial-formed lake, serves as a source of energy and education for many of its residents and visitors.While relaxing on the deck of the cabin, an unusual sighting took place. Overhead, a large flight of bats flew by. We were all taken aback by the experience, with little time for any direct recognition or photography.

NATIONWIDE TOUR   PEEK'N PEAK CLASSIC, Peek 'n Peak Resort and Conference Center (Upper Course), Findley Lake, New York - The Nationwide Tour returns to New York this week for the Peek'n Peek Classic. Last year, John Merrick needed three playoff holes to defeat Gavin Coles and claim his first tour win. Merrick closed with three straight rounds in the 60s to match Coles at 11-under 277. Coles had been going for his third tour crown. Merrick, who is on the PGA Tour this year, currently stands in 125th place on the money list. That is the final position for someone to maintain their full status on the PGA Tour without a win. This is the sixth year of the event and tournament officials have signed an extension through 2011 with the total purse climbing each year. A very busy Golf Channel will have tape-delayed coverage of all four days. Next up for the Nationwide Tour is the Legend Financial Group Classic, where Coles picked up his third tour crown.   For more infor...
