VALENTINE’S DAY SOCIAL SET FOR
SATURDAY
East Farewell- The Valentine’s
Day Social is set for Saturday night in the Town Hall basement. The music will be provided by the Gus
Templeton Orchestra and the food will be prepared by several different restaurants
and cafes. The dance will start at 7:00
and run until midnight. This will be the
fourth Valentine’s Day Social the town has held. Every year the event gets bigger and
better. This year the decorations are
being coordinated by Mrs.
Mallard, who runs the boarding house on

The Social has
always been a popular event that breaks up the winter doldrums and brings folks
out for a little fun and community togetherness. Along with the sponsored treats it has become
a tradition for people to bring homemade sweet treats. Last year the “Sweet
Treats” tradition took a historical and hysterical twist. The “competition” had
expanded from just Peg O’Malley and friendly rival, Ida Plant, to include
several; younger members of the community. These included Sue Underwood, a young
pastry maker, Sylvia Bass, a longtime member of the East Farewell Social
Committee and one of the key organizers of the event and Marie O’Donnell, a
young homemaker from town. Peg won last year’s event with her decadent Extra
Dark Chocolate Triple Layer Cake and as she was walking down the aisle she
tripped and fell face-front into her cake. She was able to gather herself
together enough to accept the award but made a comment that Ida may have stuck
her foot out causing the fall. She immediately retracted her comment but the
seed had been sown. During the preparations for this year’s event many people
wondered if there would be a repeat of the now- infamous fall. The committee
would not give any indication as to whether there would be a “face-plant” or
not. They were leaning towards not. “We can’t have dangerous pratfalls and
shenanigans during our social, but we cannot stop anyone from taking it on
themselves to cause a disruption.” This
year it is anyone’s guess as to what will happen at the dessert table.

SPORTS
COUGARS TAME THE
WILDCATS 46-38
The backcourt
of Ted Fitzgerald and Jimmy Welch proved once again they were one of the best
combinations in the league. Together
they managed the game and scored 24 points collectively (Fitzgerald with 14 and
Welch with 10) and consistently pressured the Wildcats at the half court
line. The Wildcats backcourt of Mario
Puzzi and Dominick D’Vinci were impressive putting in 10 of their first 11
shots and ending up with a combined 26 points (12 for Puzzi and 14 for
D’Vinci). That was not enough to
overcome the Cougars tough defense and impressive offense that has improved
every week. Other scorers for the
Wildcats were Joe Gentile with 6, Angelo Fina with 4 and Silvo Rocco with
2. The other Cougars to score were Gene
Greene with 4 and Billy O’Donnell with 2.
The Cougars are 4-1 on the season
and are in first place in the league.
The next game will be Friday night against the Fort Lee Captains in

Trend in music - Record labels are backing off from making “cover” songs. The major labels no longer believe it economical to cover since there is little percentage in “second money” on any hit song. The top version makes the most money and the rest are left with crumbs. The music/recording industry is going gangbusters these days.
