GHOULS ON THE STREETS – SPIRITS
IN THE GRAVEYARD
East Farewell – Every Halloween the streets of East Farewell are taken
over by ghouls, goblins and more masked munchkins than anyone can imagine. Main
Street, Lakeshore Drive and the Lakefront Plaza have been closed to traffic for
the evening and the crowd of scary, eerie, funny and cute mascaraed maniacs
strolled, strutted and ran up and down the streets. The young children dressed
as cowboys, aliens, ballerinas and a surprising number of aliens scampered
around with their parents in tow. Many of the restaurants stayed open late and
offered the parents some refreshment on their rounds. This year the high
schoolers seemed to tend towards the zombie look or the run-down bum with
charcoal beard. All the homes on Lake Shore Drive were lit and
welcomed the trick or treaters.
In the town
cemetery there was a group of older teenagers that have made it almost a
tradition to dress up like ghosts and goblins carry large candles or lanterns
and make spooky noises and sing scary songs. Officially the cemetery is closed
after dark but an exception has been made every year with the understanding
that things don’t get disturbed and it is cleaned up within a day or two. This
year the crowd seemed extra-large and the music was louder than ever but there
were no incidents and there seemed to be a lot more picture taking. It seemed
the spirits were a little vain this year.

COUGARS GET BACK ON TRACK
East Farewell – The Cougars were able to get back on the winning
track Friday evening when they handled the Southport Hawks 24-7. The Cougars
came out looking to overcome two heartbreaking losses in a row. They lost by a
last minute score last week and by one point the week before. They had spent
the week trying to sharpen up their team play and work on timing between
different players. The hard work paid off handsomely on Friday night. After
winning the toss the Cougars elected to receive and speedy Joey Neil took the
kickoff started toward the center then cut to the outside and raced up the
sidelines all the way down to the Hawk’s ten yard line. Cougars QB, Kevin Dugan
got right to work first tossing a quick screen out to tight end, Albert Dillon
who took it down to the four. Then Dugan went to his bulldozer, fullback Robby
Blackman who blasted through the center for the score. In three plays the
Cougars were up six nothing. Sammy Regalia added the extra point to make it 7-0
with only three minutes gone. The Southport Hawks tried to rally back but they
were stopped repeatedly and did not get closer than the Cougars thirty in the
first quarter. In the second quarter the Cougars mounted another drive that
started on their own three yard line after an excellent punt by Hawks kicker,
Milo Deangelo. Dugan skillfully moved the team down field with a mix of passes
and runs that kept the Hawks reeling backwards. At the Hawks 18 yard line Dugan
went outside to Max O’Hara who had deked his defender and was wide open on the
sideline. O’Hara caught the ball on the run and sprinted to the end zone for
the score. The half ended with the Cougars up 14-0.
The Hawks came
out in the second half all relied up and took the kick off down the Cougars
twenty, their deepest penetration yet. Hawks QB, Frankie Cappelli, was able to
work his running game employing both his halfback, Jules Diganzio and his
fullback Carmine Falco to drive down and score. The Cougars defense
begrudgingly gave ground but the Hawks were tough and focused. With only five
seconds left in the third quarter little Sammy Regalia trotted on the field at
the Hawks thirty yard line where the Cougar’s drive have come to a screeching
halt after two dropped passes and a stymied run and he let loose a long,
straight kick that sailed through the crossbars with five yards to spare. The
Cougars lead was up to 10, 17-7. The fourth quarter went back and forth with
each team seeming to show a little fatigue. The clock had wound down to five
minutes left when Dugan handed off to halfback, Joey O’Toole who somehow snaked
through the middle of the line and broke out at the Hawks twenty and ran into
for a score. Regalia finished off his perfect afternoon by making the score
24-7. The clock ran out on the Hawks as they tried a last desperation long bomb
but defensive end, Daniel Green was able to get his hand in front of Hawks wide
receiver, Alfonse Genardi and knock the ball down. The clock expired and the
Cougars had sealed their victory, 24-7. “It was a great win for these boys,
they really needed to get back in the winning mind set. The Hawks are a good
team but today we were better,” said Coach Burcowitz after the game.
The Cougars
face the Corning Devils for the second time this season next week. It is a home
game and begins a 4:30PM on Friday. The Cougars beat the Devils earlier this
season, 14-7 and are trying for a season sweep. The game will be played at the
Regional High Field.

DUE TO LACK OF STEEL & PARTS
Demonstrators
stoned the offices of the American-owned Light and Power Company in Panama

Cuban armed forces own gunfire, or of bombs thrown from automobiles by
terrorists.

even one more complete car. Most GM lines have been down for 10 days and
production was curtailed even before then by parts shortages.
