FARMERS MARKET ON LAKEFRONT
PLAZA
East Farewell – A farmers market opened on Lakefront Plaza on
Saturday and Sunday and sold many local grown favorites like peppers, tomatoes,
cucumbers, corn and all kinds of lettuce, squash and cabbage. The stands that
were set up before dawn overflowed with local produce and surprisingly fruits
from California. Local farmers experienced a bountiful year and were able to
turn much of their surplus over to the Farmers Grange this year as several
years before the Grange approached the Town Council and asked to be able to
sell the surplus at a Farmers Market on Lakefront Plaza. The Council readily
agreed because in the past other farmers markets have been very
successful. The market opened at 7 AM
and stayed open until 7 PM. It’s seemed busy the entire time. Many people
lingered after closing time as the stalls were being broken down and took
advantage of the beautiful autumn evening on
Lakefront Plaza. Some notable pieces of produce were pumpkins grown by a local
farmer Ted Green. The pumpkins were enormous and many people marveled at not
only the size but the copious amounts that were available. Folks picked up the
pumpkins with intentions of creating jack-o’-lanterns for Halloween while
others spoke of making pumpkin pies and some were going to do both. In the past
the Council has tried to set up farmers markets throughout the summer and fall
but have been unable to create a continuous event due to the myriad of uses the
Plaza experiences.
The market was
a great success because of the farmer’s bountiful production. Many farmers
spoke of how much they enjoyed the local market place. It gave them a chance to
interact with many of their friends and neighbors and to talk to other farmers
about their methods, fields, and produce. The townspeople enjoyed the market
immensely while being able to buy local produce they got a chance to see and
talk to the people who produced it. This year many local restaurants set up
small booths with tables and chairs and offered different delicious entrées
made from the local produce. There was even a small stage set up where local
country star, Charlie Green, played for
two afternoon sessions and entertained the crowd with many of his country hits.
Once again it
will remain to be seen if the town Council will make any move on making the
Farmers Market a more permanent feature on the Lakefront plaza but for now the
town will have to be satisfied with the occasional fall appearance of the East
Farewell Farmer’s Market.

SPORTS
COUGARS GET CURSED BY THE DEVILS
Corning - The Cougars suffered their first defeat of the young
season when they met the Corning Devils on Saturday. The day started off on a
positive note for the Cougars as they took the opening kickoff back down to the
Devils 25 yard line. The Devils defense then stepped up and held the Cougars to
a 30 yard field goal attempt by Galloway that went wide left. The Devils took
over on their own 35 and were able to drive down to the Cougars 20 where the Cougars
defense stiffened and forced a Devils field goal attempt that also went wide
left. The first quarter was a series of back and forth drives between both
teams 20 yard lines. In the second quarter both defenses remained intact and it
wasn’t until the last minute of the first half that any score occurred. With
two minutes left and the ball on the Devils 45 yard line with the Devils in
possession, Devils quarterback Arthur Richman threw a short screen to Devils
wide receiver Josh Simmons that turned into a 30 yard gain. The next play
Richman went back to Simmons for another completion and Simmons ran in for the
score. The half ended with the Cougars trailing 7-0. The second half started
with the Cougars kicking off to the Devils and the Devils receiver, Bill
Newkirk, fumbled the ball. The Cougars were able to recover on the Devils 25
yard line. Cougars quarterback, Bill Dolan, did not waste any time driving the
team in for a score with fullback Robbie Blackman leading the charge. Dave
Galloway added the extra point and the game was tied at seven. Both defenses
played superb games not letting either offense come within 35 yards of either
goal line for the rest of the third quarter and well into the fourth quarter.
There were two minutes left when Richman let a long bomb soar past a pressing Cougars
defense and into the arms of wide receiver Dave Miller. Miller was able to out
run Cougars defender Walter Davis and score the go ahead touchdown. The Devils
were able to convert the extra point and with only 40 seconds left on the clock
the Cougar’s last attempt by Dolan to wide receiver Max O’Hara was a little too
long for O’Hara to pull in. The game ended with the Devils on top 14 to 7.
Next week the
Cougars travel to Slate Mountain on the north side to face the Slate Mountain
Canaries as the Canaries celebrate their homecoming. The game will begin in
Slate Mountain’s Stadium at 3:00 after an opening ceremony staged by the Slate
Mountain Homecoming Committee.
