FARMERS MARKET TAKES OVER THE
PLAZA
East
Farewell - The early fall is the perfect time to get everyone to come down to
the Lakefront Plaza for a Farm Market. The weather was excellent early autumn.
A warm sun and a light breeze made the Lakefront Plaza the perfect venue for
the Farmers Market. Local farmers brought their surplus staples down to the
Plaza very early Saturday morning, set up tables, booths and tents and put out
their wares. The Plaza opened at 8:00 and the crowd was already quite large.
People milled around shopping and chatting with the farmers. Some local
restaurants set up table for dining. The children got a special treat with a
“Children’s Corner” that ran though out the day with different sessions sponsored
by school district. Several teachers held reading, writing and drawing sessions
open to all children 10 and under. The feature gave many parents a chance to
shop and meet with others while their small children were safely distracted
with worthwhile activity. In a novel
move Lost
Oasis owner, Charles Wentz, made an early pass through the stalls and
bought a full menu worth of farm fresh vegetables and some premium cuts of
beef. He also was able to buy some of Peg O’Malley’s triple layer chocolate
cakes and chocolate cheesecakes supplied by Valentine’s
Social Sweet Treats winner, Ida Plant. Wentz took all his finds back to his
area and proceeded to make a full days’ worth of delicious meals and delightful
deserts. His tables were full all day long. Most of the food was bought up by
6:00PM and the remainder was donated to the local food bank. The Framers Market
has been held on the Plaza before but there was never any set date for the
event like the Swim Across the Lake or the legendary Music, Arts and Farm Show
but the success of this year’s Market may put it on the event schedule in the
future.

SPORTS
TRAVELERS HOOK ANGLERS
Riverview – The Travelers were able to beat the road curse that had been dogging them all season. Joe Nagy was given the ball for the Travelers and he started out with three scoreless innings. The Anglers threw their ace hurler, Bill Breen, at the Travelers and he was equal to Nagy. What quickly turned into a pitcher’s duel Nagy and Breen struck out a total of 15 batters while only giving up eleven hits and four walks. The Travelers were fortunate to get three of their six hits all in the seventh inning. Dunham was able to start off the inning with a walk which seemed to throw off Breen’s rhythm. Bobby Watson was up next and he popped a single over first baseman, Franny O’Hanlon’s head moving Dunham over to third. Breen buckled down and struck out Johnny Cloos but Dimero hit a blooper into center scoring Dunham and moving Watson to third. Joey Brown came up next and grounded out short but Watson was held at third. Artie Archibald came up and took Breen to a 3-2 count and Breen tried to throw a fastball past Archibald but he was waiting and smacked a long line drive into the right hand corner and brought both Watson and Dimero home. Breen was able strike out Nagy to end the inning but the Travelers had done all the damage they needed to secure a 3-0 lead. In the eighth the Anglers made a run and were able to score one run. Nagy held the Anglers to the one run and was able to close out the game by forcing Anglers slugger, James Deleon to hitting into a 6-4-3 double play to end the game. The Travelers were able to get away with a 3-1 win and break the road curse. They move on to Youngstown next. The game begins at 1:30 in Youngstown Park.
NATIONAL NEWS
KHRUSHCHEV WANTS TO TALK DISARMAMENT – IKE SUSPICIOUS – KENNEDY WARNS
OF COMMIE EXPANSION
In New York for U.N. General Assembly meetings, Soviet Premier Khrushchev indicates he wants to talk about disarmament with President Eisenhower at the United Nations and thus, in effect, turn the coming U.N. General Assembly Session into a world summit meeting. Khrushchev arrived in New York via the liner Baltika.
President Eisenhower calls for national unity among Americans in the face of “troublemakers trying to come to our country” - a veiled reference to Castro, Khrushchev and a small corps of Communist chieftains, arriving for the U.N. session in New York.
Senator
John F. Kennedy, in his first nationwide telecast sponsored by the Democratic
National Committee, charges that the Soviet Communists “will keep on driving
and expanding and gaining without regard to all the kitchen debates and United
Nations speeches, unless we have a President and a country in the 60’s who acts
first and acts fast.
