NEWSPAPER TO
REBUILD BUILDING
East Farewell-
The East Farewell News has committed to rebuild their home on Main
Street. The announcement was made by
publisher John Robb on the site of the burned out shell. “This town has been very good to our family
and I feel it is that we must make every effort to keep the news service
available to the great citizens of this town.
The paper has been fortunate enough to have enjoyed an almost ten year
span of uninterrupted publishing in East
Farewell. We are very proud of
that. Even as the town suffered through
the disastrous weather and the terrible fire I felt we grew in our
understanding and compassion. That has
been displayed time and time again with the committees and groups that have
banded together to offer help and support to anyone who needed it.”
Rebuilding is scheduled to start early
next year. Robb said the building will
be rebuilt in the spirit of the original edifice but will incorporate new
technologies and updated communications.
Being the largest building on Main Street, there is expected to be
substantial traffic
delays during the construction.
Since the only possible detour would route traffic down Lake Shore Drive
and back to 2nd Avenue, it is expected that no detour will be put in
place and traffic will be controlled by marked lane redirections.
“I think it is wonderful that the
newspaper has decided to stay,” said Mrs.
Mallard, local resident, “we need a newspaper in this town and the Robb’s
are such family, they are really part of this town.” Other townsfolk voiced similar opinions and
many have offered help and support to the family and the paper. The old building was also the home of the
often overlooked East Farewell Community Office. The office was responsible for keeping the
town’s historical documents and photographs.
A fund has been set up to rebuild that office. Fortunately, most of the documents and photos
were kept in a fireproof safe that was part the bank that occupied the building
for a short time in the late 1920s.

SPORTS
REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL KICKS OFF
SEASON
The game see-sawed in the
first half, each team scoring on their first drive. The defenses then took over and confined the
game to between the 20 yard lines.
O’Conner was able to move the team with a combination of short passes
and end runs but was not able to capitalize on the consistent efforts of his
halfbacks, Joey Fox and his brother Jimmy O’Conner. Even his fullback, Johnny “Moose” Boyle was
unable to break through the Miners line for a score. It wasn’t until six minutes into the fourth
quarter that O’Conner was able to hit wide end, Phil Flynn on a down and out
pattern that Flynn was able to turn down the sideline and scamper in to the end
zone for the go ahead score. The extra
point was kicked by sophomore, Charlie Cox.
The Miners made a last drive well into Cougars territory but time ran
out before they were able to score. So
it is 1-0 for the Cougars this season.
