FALL HARVEST FESTIVAL
East
Farewell – A fall harvest sell-off/festival took place on the Lakefront Plaza
over the weekend. Local farmers, crafters and artists set up booths all around
the Plaza and back up both Main Street
and Lakeshore
Drive and offered all kinds of fresh picked vegetables, fruits, crafts and
prepared food. Many farms setup both sales booths and small tables with chairs
to serve delicious snacks and meals prepared using the farm’s produce. Several
groups of local musicians set up around the area and played music throughout
the days and into the evenings. The event started on Saturday morning at 10:00
and officially ran until 8:00PM but some of the stalls set up by local
restaurants and some of the musical acts stayed until 10:00PM. The whole thing
was repeated on Sunday.
The fall
harvest sale has been around for at least three years but there have been
groups of farmers setting up temporary stalls to sell their surplus produce for
many years. An interesting development this year was the introduction of a
local brewery supplying a special “Harvest Brew” made just for the season.
Local brewer, Liebenfrau, owned by the Hansberger family, supplied their
special brew along with grilled sausages or chicken in a special large tent set
up right on the Plaza. They had two long picnic tables set up for family style
seating and both the waiters and waitresses were dressed in Bavarian outfits.
“We thought we might try to make a little bit of an Oktoberfest feel with the
beer, the long tables, the outfits and the food,” said Gustave Hansberger,
family patriarch, “We would like to try and start an Oktoberfest tradition in
town. We will have to see how well this is received by everyone.”
Whether the tradition catches on or
not will remain to be seen but if the constantly full tables and the waiting
lines are any indication it looks like this may be a wonderful new tradition.

SLATE MOUNTAIN ENJOYS THEIR HOMCOMING
Slate Mountain – The Slate Mountain Canaries
enjoyed their homecoming Saturday at the expense of the Cougars. The Miners
were able to squeak by the Cougars, 21-20. The Canaries took a 21-14 lead into
the fourth quarter and were well on their way to a solid win when Cougar
safety, Harry Hamlin, picked off a Canaries pass at the Canaries 40 and was
able to return it for a score. The Cougars lined up to attempt a two point
conversion. Quarterback, Billy O’Conner got the snap and handed off to fullback
“Moose” Boyle who tried to ram through the center of the line. The Canaries
were ready and the entire team massed on Moose preventing him from scoring. The
Canaries were able to run the clock out after the kickoff.
The
Cougars played a good game but suffered from too many penalties. They had an
unheard of 7 penalties in the first half and weren’t a whole lot better in the
second, being called for 6 miscues. Most of the penalties were either offsides
or false starts but defensive end, Shamus McKean was called for a costly pass
interference that led to a Miners score. “We are going to have to address all
those penalties,” said coach Burcowitz after the game, “We don’t have any
excuse for that stuff. These boys should know better by now. I will be working
on discipline at next week’s practices. That is for sure.”
The
Cougars have their own homecoming next week when they host the Sun City Eagles.
The festivities begin at 12:00 on the Regional High School field with a
marching band concert and drill team display. The game begins at 1:00. The
gates will open at 11:30AM. The crowd is expected to be a sell-out.

British war ships move to bottle-up both ends of the Suez Canal. A Cairo newspaper said that British were letting oil tankers through the canal to Israel from the east without being searched by Egyptian authorities. Egypt imposes a strict blockade against such shipments to Israel (to whom she is technically at war). Egypt protested in a note that the British are acting as though they are “moving to conquer a country.”
The government calls for an immediate freeze on mass production of television color sets during the big defense drive. The request was sent to CBS President Frank Stanton, who said the company would comply immediately. CBS will suspend manufacture of color TV equipment for the duration of the emergency and also will drop its regular schedule of color telecasts.
In St Paul, a second woman dies after a frenzied religious cultist seeks to explain his whippings by quoting the bible. The whippings were conducting at a sect meeting by Curtis Lennader. The repeated lashings with a 3-foot whip included the death of his wife, Ardith. About a dozen members of the cult were present. The daughter of the other victim, Pat Doyle, was asked: “How could you stand by and see your mother beaten to death. Didn’t you do anything about it? Doyle replied” “No, why should I.”
In London, Rebecca McEwan who sent her mother-in-law an apple tart containing disinfectant pleads guilty in court of sending a “noxious substance to injure or annoy. The judge released her with the warning, “I don’t want it to be thought that mothers-in-law can be treated in this way.”
