IS THE FLOWER SHOW GOING TO
OPEN?
East Farewell – Many questions are being asked by both
townspeople and vendors about this year’s Flower Show. It was supposed to open
this week but no plans have been announced and the Director, Monica
Shippensport, has not made any public statement or for that matter has not been
seen in public for several weeks. This would have been only the fourth year of
the show but the previous shows have all been very successful. Announcements
made by Miss Shippensport in late January indicated that the Show would be held
during the second week of April, slightly later than the other shows but the
reason given was that there would be more blooming flowers available at that
time. When vendors were asked they said they felt the later date was not really
necessary because they were able to force blooms and they liked the early dates
because it would brighten up the gray February days. Undaunted Miss
Shippensburg stuck to her original schedule and declared the dates to be April
14th to 25th. That appearance for the announcement was
the last Miss Shippensport was last seen in public with her new suitor, Romando.
There has been some speculation that Romando was not the most respectable
character and was from out of town. No other information was given about Miss
Shippensport relationship with Romando. The question that everyone is asking is
where is the Flower Show? The next question is where is Monica Shippensport? The
police have said they will start an investigation but it is clearly evident
that there will not be a Flower Show this year.
SPORTS
TRAVELERS MAKE IT FOUR IN A ROW
East Farewell – The Travelers are ripping through the league
early in the season. They have yet to lose a game and their latest victims were
the Ondita Cougars and curveball ace Sam ‘Cat’ Caterno, 3-1, on Saturday. Big hits have
been the Travelers modus operandi and this game was no different. ‘Cat’ was
perfect for the first three innings but in the fourth Johnny Cloos led off with
a 3-2 smash out of the park which seemed to rattle Caterno because he then gave
up a double to Dimero and a single to Archibald, scoring Dimero on a bad throw
home from center fielder Frank Houser. Caterno settled down and went back to
his mystifying curve and kept the Travelers off the board until the ninth when
a rare reliever, Joe Reynolds, threw a low outside fastball to Francis and he
sent it over the left field fence into the stands. Traveler’s pitcher, Danny
Lane was very strong allowing six hits, walking four and letting in only one
run. The defensive side was brilliant once again turning two double plays and a
beautiful run saving strike from right by Tony Dimero.
The Travelers
stay at home next week when they host Corning. The game begins at 1:30 on
Saturday.
