FIRE DESTROYS
NEWS PAPER HOME
East Farewell- After all of last week’s destruction all this
town needed was another disaster.
Unfortunately, a disaster struck the home of the East
Farewell News on Monday. The
entire building went up in flames and burned to the ground. This included the sales office and the
editorial offices as well as the main business office. The printing and distribution office, which
was housed next door, was severely damaged.
This week’s paper had to be printed at a facility in Slate
Mountain. Delivery of this week’s paper
was delayed due to the extenuating circumstances but the entire staff extends a
grateful thank you to all the people who put in extra hours to help get this
issue published.
“The fire appears to have
started in the electrical box area.” said Fire Marshall, Lou Doane. “We don’t
suspect any foul play, it may have been sparked by a worn out wire or loose
connection. Maybe all the storms damaged
the exterior wiring. We will find out
more after the debris has been cleared.”
That may take several weeks.
Production has been moved temporarily to an available building on Lake
Shore Drive next to the Mallard
Boarding House.
The East Farewell News building
was one of the first in East Farewell, dating back to the 1920s. Originally, it was the home of real estate
developer and cofounder of East Farwell, Lou Lendel. The Lendel group sold the building to the
Newspaper in the early 30s due to a distressed position of the Lendel
family. The newspaper has been an
important part of the community for over 20 years and will continue to serve
the town in spite of this devastating setback.

SPORTS
TRAVELERS WITHIN ONE WIN OF
CHAMPIONSHIP
Corning- Due to the terrible weather last week, the
first game of the season deciding series was postponed Friday night. The second game, played Saturday, was won by
the Coning nine in a very close 2-1 contest.
The Travelers had hoped to clinch the championship with at least one win
last weekend. They will have to wait
until the rematch that will be played this Saturday at Corning.
The
second game got under way late in the afternoon after a slight delay for
rain. The field was in very poor
condition and the weather was very humid and tended to make for a very sloppy
game. Danny Lane pitched a very good
game but was stymied by poor defense and a lack of offense to generate any
runs. The only Travelers score came by
way of a home run by “Mean” Richie Lane in the eighth. The Travelers stranded 15 men on base
throughout the game. That frustration
was compounded by three errors and two passed balls. “We were just off today, there is no excuse,
we just were terrible,” said shortstop Dale Dunham after the game. “We will pull it together for sure for the
game on Saturday, you can bet on that.
We were embarrassed out there today.”
The Corning team was able
to score both runs in the fourth. The first
came off a double by Johnson who was able to gain third on a passed ball. He was scored by a single by Steele. Steele advanced to third by another long
single by Baker. Steele scored on a
beautiful squeeze bunt by Joe Gill. The
Travelers were unable to come up with any of their usual sparkle and flare to
counter the Corning fireworks. The
standings show Corning just one game behind the Travelers with one game
left. If the Travelers win they will win
the championship and if they loss they will enter into a best of seven,
championship playoff with Corning. If
the Travelers are able to pull off another win and secure the championship it
will be their second since 1950 and will almost surely bring pressure to build
a new ballpark for their home games.
