SPRING HAS
SPRUNG IN EAST FAREWELL
East Farewell – It was a long cold winter and at some points it
seemed like it would never end but with the warm spell last week all the snow
has finally melted and the sun has been shining brightly. Buds have appeared on
the trees and the certain spring sign, the restaurants have started putting
their tables out on the sidewalks again, letting people dine al-fresco and
people watch. The longer evenings also made the evening dining almost Paris
like. All along Main
Street and Lake Shore
Drive different shops have stayed open longer and taken advantage of the
beautiful weather. The Lake Front Plaza has once again become a prime meeting
place. Even the Fun Pier has shown signs of getting ready to open. Owner, Sam
Lendel, has scheduled the Fun Pier opening for the weekend before Memorial Day.
“We are going to have a ‘sneak’ preview for all the folks in town and give a
special discount at the gate,” said Lendel during an interview at the pier last
week.
Strolling down
Lake Shore Drive has replaced shoveling off Lake Shore Drive and everyone is
much happier. This year several new shops have opened on the Drive. There is a
new art studio, Framed, where local artists can show their works. A new café
opened, The Coffee Cup, and a wonderful little clothes shop, Arleen’s, opened
at the end of the block. All the new building in and around town have brought a
lot of new people in town. The new look around town has added a fresh
appearance to the Lake Shore Drive and everyone seems very pleased about the
new look.

TRAVELERS UNLEASH BIG BATS AT ALBANY
Albany- The Travelers took their longest road trip last week
when they visited Albany for the first time. The Albany Senators were added to
the league over the off season and have only been in existence for three years.
They are a young team and have not had a lot of success in their short history.
The Travelers came into town and showed the boys how to hit the ball. The big
bats unleashed a mighty 10 runs in the lopsided victory on Saturday. The
Travelers own Johnny Cloos was the highlight of the game as he hit for the
cycle, a single a double a triple and a homerun. His hot bat was only part of
the display the Travelers put on as they managed to bat around in two different
innings and defensively were able to hold the Senators to only nine hits and
three runs. They also turned two double plays.
Cloos started
the game off with a triple in his first at bat, he was driven in by Ernie
Silver who was replacing Dimero in right. That was the beginning of a long day
for Senator’s pitcher, Joe Rollins. He
struggled through seven innings giving up fifteen hits and eight runs. Reliever,
Tom Franz, was able to finish the game allowing only three hits but two runs.
The Senators are still trying to find their footing, having only won one game
this season so far.
The Travelers
hitting spree was spread out throughout the lineup with everyone in the lineup
reaching base at least once. While Cloos was the big blaster Dunham, Watson and
“Little” Billy Sweet all added dingers to the scorecard. Cloos’s homer added
three, Dunham, Watson and Sweet’s added two each and the last run came off good
old baseball, a double by Francis, a sacrifice bunt by Dunham and Cloos’s
single.
The Travelers come
home next week to face Slate Mountain. The Miners are currently tied with the
Travelers for first place in the standings. While it is still early in the
season, both teams are playing at the top of their games and the game should be
exciting. The game begins at 1:30 on Saturday at the ball park.
