IT’S A DOG DAY
AFTERNOON IN EAST FAREWELL
East Farewell – The dogs took over Lake Shore Drive on Saturday
and they proudly marched or were led to the Lakeview Plaza by their owners and
their caretakers as most sported funny, clever, sporty or cute costumes. Many
were owned by local residents but quite a few were from the local animal
shelter and were looking for homes. The event was sponsored by The East
Farewell Animal Protection Society and was quite the hit with locals and even
drew some folks from out of town. Dubbed the “Annual East Farewell Top Dog
Show” the parade started in front of the East Farewell News building and
proceeded west on Lake Shore Drive to the Lakeview Plaza where there was a
small but fun impromptu Dog Show where locals were able to show off their
beloved pets in their outrageous costumes doing a variety of tricks and clever
feats of catch and run.
The idea was presented
and approved by the Town Council only two weeks ago and the entire event was
put together by the Shelter staff in only two weeks. The staff is made up of
mostly volunteers, but the driving force at the shelter is Miss Alice Winslow
who has headed the shelter for five years. Miss Winslow has been arranging
adoptions for many of the animals in the shelter. The shelter is not limited to
dogs; there are cats and every now and then other species. Miss Winslow is
quick to point out that no animal is ever put down or refused entry. The
shelter runs on the generous funding of philanthropist Herman B. Leventhal from
the Leventhal Optical fortune. Local contributions also makeup a sizable chunk
of the operating budget and Miss Winslow is a tireless fundraiser.
The Top Dog award this
year went to “Willy” an eleven year old beagle mix that sported a hot dog
costume. Willy is well known in town and there may have been some favoritism in
the judging. The judges were not only half the staff from the shelter but also
four local owners of businesses in town, businesses that Willy would visit
regularly on his daily walk. There was a lot of fun taking place on the judges
stand and Miss Winslow was trying to get as many of her charges adopted, the
dogs were all interacting , mostly peacefully, and the crowd just loved it. The
Annual East Farewell Top Dog Show looks like it may have found a home.

SPORTS
COUGARS BASKETBALL GETTING
READY TO START
East Farewell – As the football season recedes into history the basketballs
are bouncing on the hardwood floor in the Regional High Gym. Coach Wilson is
looking for to another good year for the team. He did lose center Bill Donahue
and guard Ted Fitzgerald to graduation but they have been replaced in the
lineup by two juniors, Dan Davis at center and Wendell Jones in the guard
position. Jones is new to the school this year. He arrived from Philadelphia at
the end of last year and was not eligible until this year. Davis was on the
squad last year and played behind Donahue so he is expected to step right into
the position.
The other half
of the all-star backcourt, Jimmy Welch, will be leading the team as captain
this year and both forwards, Green and O’Donnell are back. The bench is still
fairly deep with Fox, McKean and Cox all back, a year older and a year more
experienced. The team will play its
first game December 2nd against the Corning Devils at home, 4:15PM.
“We are looking
and feeling good this year. We have some very experienced players coming back
like Jimmy, Greeny and Billy O. They will really make this a great season. Oh
yea, and this new kid, Jones, he looks really good and he is working with Jimmy
already and I think he is going to be really good,” said Coach Wilson during an
informal workout on Wednesday.

Trends in records - The new Hi-Fi
systems - of which there are about 2 million in consumer hands - are changing
the way people are listening, especially classical music. In the older 78rpm
days, an artist or orchestra sold a record on basis of the performer’s name
alone. Hi-Fi is killing that. Today, says an expert, it is quality of
performance and care in recording that count.
A government inventor has invented a
