NUDIST COLONY SET TO START
BUILDING
East Farewell –N.U.D.E. (Nothing Until Democracy Evolves) is
prepared to start building their new campground on a secluded part of Lake
Charles. The national organization that promotes nudism as a life style claims
to have over 10,000 members across the country. Their numbers have swelled
recently as more people have moved to the warmer climates. The property on the
lake has been designated a campground and the organization envisions it as a
summer vacation destination for members all over the Northeast. N.U.D.E. has
purchased an additional 20 acres further buffering the original 25 acres. The
compound is expected to take up about 10 acres for cabins, community
structures, a dining hall, showers and sanitary facilities. While there is a
dock in the plans President Frank Logan said certain precautions would be put
into place to dissuade the curious boater. Logan has worked very closely with
the Town Council presenting plans and modifying them as the Council brought up
concerns. “It has been a very amicable process,” said Council Permit
Coordinator Alice Logan, “We have kept a close eye on these plans and Mr. Logan
has been very open and agreeable. While he has not appeared in person very
often, which could present some embarrassing situations, especially for me, he
has been very available by the phone and written correspondence. Now, I’m no
prude and Mr. Logan is a fairly attractive man but I would just feel
uncomfortable with a naked man in my office, even if it was my husband.”
Mr. Logan has
high expectations for the campground. He has spent a lot of time over the
winter talking to locals and trying to become a member of the community,
although he has done this mostly through phone conversations and letters. “I do
not want to make anyone uncomfortable. Just because my beliefs differ from
someone else, doesn’t mean I can’t interact with them and share similar
opinions and likes,” Logan said on the phone to this paper, “As a group we are
pretty much the same as everyone else except we don’t feel we should be
encumbered by clothes that we feel prevent us from fully interacting with
nature. I really would like to talk about the new campground we are about to
start up there. I am very excited about the project and we want to begin
building as soon as the first thaw. We plan to bring a top notch facility to
that fine town. I truly believe we will bring a lot of good ideas to town as
well as a lot of good old US dollars.”
Construction is
slated to start April 15th but that is dependent on the weather. Mr.
Logan has told the Council and towns people that he will be on site supervising
the construction but he will bend to the requests of the general community as well
as his contractors and wear clothes for the extent of the building process. All
contractors involved have said they will all be fully clothed.
SPORTS
COUGARS LOOK BACK AND FORWARD – TRAVELER ON
DECK
East Farewell – The Cougars Spirit Club held a team dinner on
Wednesday. The entire team was honored and Couch Wilson gave a very interesting
and amusing speech about the past season and the future of the team. Even through the team finished in second
place the Coach pointed out that the expectations were much lower when the
season started. “When we finished the first practice I turned to Greeny (the
only senior, Timmy Green) and said ‘It looks like it’s going to be a long
season.’ But as the season went on after a tough start, these kids really started
to play the game well. They worked together as a team and they learned how to
win. Greeny was essential in bringing this team together. He showed Conner a
lot of his tricks and Conner picked up a lot on his own. By the end of the
season Greeny missed one game but Conner stood tall and he has become quite the
court leader in his own right.
It wasn’t until
the third game the Wilson Watson started to come into his own. Once he realized
he could actually play he started to dominate the center. Along with his two
partners, O’Hare and Reilly they were able to really take control inside in
most of the games. The way this team came out of nowhere and showed they knew
what they were doing. By the end of the season these kids really understood the
game. They were able to fight to a respectable 11-5 season. Next season looks
very strong. I am very proud of this group.” Awards were handed out to each
player on the team and the Coach shook each player’s hand. A season well
played.
Next up on the
sporting docket is baseball. The Travelers season will get under way next week
and this year the reigning champs will start another campaign in the quest of
their fourth title in six years. They have a better record than the infamous
new York Yankees. The first game is scheduled for April 7th at the
stadium against the Bear Creek Cubs. The game begins at 1:00PM.

projects the electrons downward to the bottom edge, where the stream is bent
