FARMERS MARKET
TAKES OVER LAKEFRONT PLAZA
East Farewell – The Lakefront Plaza was transformed into a local
Farmers Market over the weekend. Fresh produce from surrounding farms was
featured during the all day event. The Lakefront Plaza was overflowing with fresh
corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and all kinds of squash, cabbage and
lettuce. There were fresh fruits, too. Walking down the rows of tables one
could find apples, peaches pears and lots of varieties of grapes and plums. It
was a bountiful year for the local farmers and while they usually send most of
their crops down to the cities this year they had such a surplus that the
Farmers Grange approached the Town Council to see if they could set up a market
to help distribute the excess. The town Council was very excited by the idea
and quickly made arrangements and within two weeks everything was in
place. Early Saturday morning the
farmers started to setup and by 7:30AM things were up and running. The market
was packed from 8:00AM until it closed at 8:00PM. People lingered after the official closing
and there were still folks sitting on the Plaza at 10:00PM. The beautiful early
fall weather kept the folks around enjoying the night.
“This was a
wonderful idea, I can’t believe we didn’t think of this sooner,” said Tom
Conally as he shopped for tomatoes. Many
people echoed that thought and as other Council members shopped and talked an
impromptu council meeting seemed to occur. All the members came up with the
idea of offering the farmers market as a weekly event and decided to work out
the details at the next council meeting.
Another idea that was floated was an Oktoberfest type event
where the farmers would team with the local restaurants and have a several day
event of fall fun. The ideas will be discussed by both the council and the
locals and whatever comes out it is sure to be fun and exciting.

TRAVELERS CLOSE GAP SEASON ON
THE LINE NEXT WEEK – COUGARS REBOUND
East Farewell - The Travelers tied CGW for the league lead by clobbering
Bear Creek last week, 8-1. Combined with the Glass Works (CGW) loss to Mountain
View, where the Explorer’s “Smoke” Black pitched a no hit shutout, the
Travelers moved into a tie with CGW. The season will be decided at the Ball
Field this Saturday. The season has been an up and down ride for the Travelers,
at one point in midsummer they looked like they were out of the race completely
but they slowly got back into the race one game at a time and with solid play,
strong defense and basic baseball they got into what is essentially a playoff
game for the title. They are hoping to repeat their league championship from
last year. If they are successful they will be the first team since CGW to win
back to back titles did it in 1943.
Power was the
byword for the Travelers offense on Saturday. Led by the smoking hot bat of
Johnny Cloos the team was able to belt five homers off Bear Creek pitcher,
Henry Grant. The Travelers ended up with 12 hits for the day. They came out swinging scoring three in the
first with the first homer by Cloos driving in Francis and Watson. The scoring
took a break in the second but the hitting did not, they got two hits but
stranded both. When it looked like the Cubs were going to get something going
they were snuffed out by razor sharp Travelers defense. The double play trio of Dunham to Archibald
to Watson showed why they are leading the league by completing four more on
Saturday. The Cubs were unable to more a runner past first until the sixth
inning. Finally in the eighth Achiavelli was able to tag Lane for a solo homer
but that was the extent of the Cubs offense.
The first
inning homer by Cloos was just the beginning of the Traveler offense. In the
third inning pitcher Danny Lane squeezed line drive between Rome and Fletcher
and was moved to second with bunt by Francis. Then Dunham came up and smashed
the second of five homers. The other dingers were hit by Brown, Archibald and
Sweet in the fourth, seventh and eighth, respectively. Lane finished the game
for the win and recorded nine strikeouts.
The win put the
Travelers in a tie with CGW and the upcoming game will be played at home and
decide the league championship. The game will begin at 1:30 and it looks like
it is going to be a sellout. Fans from Corning have already booked rooms in
town and many businesses are looking forward to a banner weekend. Let’s Go
Travelers!
Sun City - The Cougars got back on track last Friday with a win
over the Sun City Eagles, 14-3. The defense played extremely well and the
offense clicked with first down after first down. The Eagles were equally tough
but they had a breakdown in their defense at the end of the first half allowing
halfback Jimmy O’Conner to run for a total sixty five yards in a ninety yard
drive for a score. In the second half quarterback Sam Jones connected with wide
receiver Dave Walker for an impressive six completions while engineering a
nifty seventy yard drive for another score. The Eagles were able to score on a
twenty three yard field goal by freshman kicker Ronny Stole.
“We are
starting to play more as a team, now. This was a good win but it was a better
team effort,” said coach Burkowitz.
The team travels to the north side of the mountain to face the Slate Mountain
Canaries as the Canaries celebrate their Homecoming.
