NEW GOLF COURSE TO BE BUILT
East Farewell- GC Designers, Inc. unveiled a new proposal to the
Town Council this week. They want to build a pro caliber golf course on the 350
acre Reese farm located on
the edge of town. The farm has been
owned by the Reese family for almost one hundred years and with the death of
Earnest Reese earlier in the year, the remaining family members have decided to
sell the majority of the farm. The remaining
children, Joseph, Hanna and Emily will continue to live in the house. Elizabeth
Reese, Earnest’s wife passed away in 1950.
The farm was still producing milk and had a very popular garden store
that sold flowers, fruits and vegetables as well as milk. The future of the
store has not been determined but without the cows or the orchards the future
looks dim. Joseph Reese has stated he
would like to keep the store open but that would require completely changing its
inventory.
GC Designers met with the Town Council
earlier this and showed them plans for the course and clubhouse. The Reese farm
has abundant lake front and the ground has been cleared so much of the
preliminary work has already been done.
The designers of the course are intent on making it a first class course
and have suggested that golf great Ben Hogan may be involved in the design and
promotion. The Town Council has taken the proposal under consideration and will
give their response next week. Judging
from the reception the plan has a very good chance of approval.

SPORTS
TRAVELERS STAY IN CORNING FOR TWO MORE
Corning- The Travelers stayed in Corning for a double header on
Sunday. The weather was a bit more baseball like with sun and temperatures in
the 50s. The games were typical of the early season meaning there were mental
mistakes and a couple of downright errors on both sides but in general the
games were enjoyable and reasonably well played. CGW was able to record its
first win of the season and the Travelers were able to leave Corning with two
wins and a loss. The Travelers will be
holding their “home” opener on Saturday at the Regional High School field. This
is the temporary home for the Travelers while the decision is ironed out on
whether to rebuild the burned down stadium or build a new one.
In the first
game the Travelers got off to an early lead with a big second inning with back
to back doubles by Dunham and Watson. Johnny Cloos came up with Dunham on
second and got a hold of a Walker fastball and sent it out of the park. Travelers’
pitcher Joe Nagy did an admirable job keeping CGW off the board until the
eighth when Farrell and Jones were able to touch him for a double and a
triple. Nagy then made a mental error by
not checking Jones back to third on a swinging bunt by Shore and allowing Jones
to score. In the ninth the Travelers
were able to put two more runs on the board with a triple by Sweet, a sacrifice
by Francis and a long home run by Dimero put the Travelers ahead to stay. The Travelers won game one 4-2. Game two started late in the day and went on
into after sunset. The game was played under the lights and CGW took an early
lead and hung on to notch the victory. They rang up an impressive first inning
against Joe Alfred in his first start of the season. CGW scored four in the
first and the one more in the second. Alfred settled down and only gave up five
more hits and no more runs but the damage was done. The Travelers were able to
get three runs in the seventh but that was all they could muster. CGW won game
two, 5-3.
