HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS TAKE OVER LAKEFRONT PLAZA FOR PROM

---

East Farewell – The Regional High School seniors took over the Lakefront Plaza on Saturday night. They erected several tents, set up a stage and placed tables and chairs all around the perimeter. They then all gathered for their senior prom. The young handsome gentlemen were dressed in tuxedos and the beautiful young women were in glamorous gowns. This was a dinner dance and the dinner was supplied by four of the families from the class. The O’Malley’s, the Hagan’s, the Donahue’s and the Miller’s all got together and prepared a sumptuous buffet of roast beef and mashed potatoes, a baked green bean casserole, a fresh tossed salad and for dessert Peg O’Malley’s famous extra dark chocolate triple layer cake. The music was supplied by East Farewell’s own favorite band, Gus Templeton and his Swing Band. Many members of the senior class pitched in and decorated the Plaza with lights and fresh cut flowers. The entire Plaza was converted into a very fragrant flowery spectacle with electric lights and tiki torches all around the perimeter. The buffet tables rimmed the area and the dining tables and chairs were also circling the Plaza. The stage was set so the band faced out to the lake with some lights shining out on the lake making for fabulous scenes for photos.

            The senior class, almost en mass, strolled down Main Street all dressed in their finery and looking splendid indeed. The balmy spring evening made the event all the better. This prom was completely different from any earlier event. Being held outside the school was one thing but to have it on the Lakefront Plaza with a sit-down dinner buffet, dancing and delightful dessert made it a truly memorable event.

 TRAVELERS HOOK ANGLERS

---

Mountainview – The Traveler’s bats came alive in their game against the Anglers on Saturday. They crushed the Fishermen 8-1. The Travelers started fast with three runs in the first and did not let up, getting at least a hit in every inning except the sixth when beleaguered Anglers pitcher, Archie Boswell, struck out the side. The Traveler’s pitcher, Danny Lane was fine in his own right, striking out 8 and only allowing one run, a blast by Angler slugger, Bart Winters, in the seventh.

            The Travelers hot offense was highlighted by first inning rally with a leadoff single by Ralph Francis followed by a double by Watson but a great throw from the outfielder, Denny Doyle, held Francis at third. Johnny Cloos was able to drive in Francis with a sacrifice fly. But Tony Anthony came up next and drove a Boswell fastball out of the park. The Travelers were also able to score in fourth with three hits and two walks, in the fifth and finally in the seventh with four hits and another homer by Johnny Cloos.

            The Travelers were coming off a big win against CGW last week and this win was good repeat effort. The Anglers have been having some problems with their offense lately; they have only scored 3 runs in the last four games. Winter is their best hitter and he has been in a slump until his homer in the seventh.

            The Travelers are hoping to continue in their winning way as they take on the Cedar Creek Bulls next week. The game begins at 3:00 at the Bulls Stadium in Cedar Creek.

FARMERS MARKET TAKES OVER THE PLAZA

---

East Farewell - The early fall is the perfect time to get everyone to come down to the Lakefront Plaza for a Farm Market. The weather was excellent early autumn. A warm sun and a light breeze made the Lakefront Plaza the perfect venue for the Farmers Market. Local farmers brought their surplus staples down to the Plaza very early Saturday morning, set up tables, booths and tents and put out their wares. The Plaza opened at 8:00 and the crowd was already quite large. People milled around shopping and chatting with the farmers. Some local restaurants set up table for dining. The children got a special treat with a “Children’s Corner” that ran though out the day with different sessions sponsored by school district. Several teachers held reading, writing and drawing sessions open to all children 10 and under. The feature gave many parents a chance to shop and meet with others while their small children were safely distracted with worthwhile activity.  In a novel move Lost Oasis owner, Charles Wentz, made an early pass through the stalls and bought a full menu worth of farm fresh vegetables and some premium cuts of beef. He also was able to buy some of Peg O’Malley’s triple layer chocolate cakes and chocolate cheesecakes supplied by Valentine’s Social Sweet Treats winner, Ida Plant. Wentz took all his finds back to his area and proceeded to make a full days’ worth of delicious meals and delightful deserts. His tables were full all day long. Most of the food was bought up by 6:00PM and the remainder was donated to the local food bank. The Framers Market has been held on the Plaza before but there was never any set date for the event like the Swim Across the Lake or the legendary Music, Arts and Farm Show but the success of this year’s Market may put it on the event schedule in the future.

TRAVELERS HOOK ANGLERS

---

Riverview – The Travelers were able to beat the road curse that had been dogging them all season. Joe Nagy was given the ball for the Travelers and he started out with three scoreless innings. The Anglers threw their ace hurler, Bill Breen, at the Travelers and he was equal to Nagy. What quickly turned into a pitcher’s duel Nagy and Breen struck out a total of 15 batters while only giving up eleven hits and four walks. The Travelers were fortunate to get three of their six hits all in the seventh inning. Dunham was able to start off the inning with a walk which seemed to throw off Breen’s rhythm. Bobby Watson was up next and he popped a single over first baseman, Franny O’Hanlon’s head moving Dunham over to third. Breen buckled down and struck out Johnny Cloos but Dimero hit a blooper into center scoring Dunham and moving Watson to third. Joey Brown came up next and grounded out short but Watson was held at third. Artie Archibald came up and took Breen to a 3-2 count and Breen tried to throw a fastball past Archibald but he was waiting and smacked a long line drive into the right hand corner and brought both Watson and Dimero home. Breen was able strike out Nagy to end the inning but the Travelers had done all the damage they needed to secure a 3-0 lead. In the eighth the Anglers made a run and were able to score one run. Nagy held the Anglers to the one run and was able to close out the game by forcing Anglers slugger, James Deleon to hitting into a 6-4-3 double play to end the game. The Travelers were able to get away with a 3-1 win and break the road curse. They move on to Youngstown next. The game begins at 1:30 in Youngstown Park.

KHRUSHCHEV WANTS TO TALK DISARMAMENT – IKE SUSPICIOUS – KENNEDY WARNS OF COMMIE EXPANSION

---

In New York for U.N. General Assembly meetings, Soviet Premier Khrushchev indicates he wants to talk about disarmament with President Eisenhower at the United Nations and thus, in effect, turn the coming U.N. General Assembly Session into a world summit meeting. Khrushchev arrived in New York via the liner Baltika. 

President Eisenhower calls for national unity among Americans in the face of “troublemakers trying to come to our country” - a veiled reference to Castro, Khrushchev and a small corps of Communist chieftains, arriving for the U.N. session in New York.

Senator John F. Kennedy, in his first nationwide telecast sponsored by the Democratic National Committee, charges that the Soviet Communists “will keep on driving and expanding and gaining without regard to all the kitchen debates and United Nations speeches, unless we have a President and a country in the 60’s who acts first and acts fast.

FOURTH ANNUAL SAILBOAT A GREAT SHOW

---

East Farewell – The wind was perfect for sailing, not to strong but certainly enough to push the 25 sleek, beautiful boats across the water at a very swift pace and make for a very entertaining race. The 25 boat limit was imposed by the “Race Committee” a semi-formal group formed to run basically everything about the race. Made up of recent winners, boat owners, local town council members and boat lovers the committee decides the date, the time, the course, the race procedure, the entry process, the awards and the advertising. This year the race started and finished in front of the Lakefront Plaza where there was a temporary dock built that served as a judge’s stand/ start-finish line. The beach next to the Plaza was full of spectators and every lakefront property seemed to be hosting some sort of party, cookout or social event. Even Raleigh Beach hosted some unusual activities. The beach is located in the most remote part of the lake and is owned and operated by N.U.D.E., the nudist camp has been around for many years. Frank Logan, president of N.U.D.E., was in touch with the committee very early in the planning and told them there was a strong possibility that some of his members would be on the beach if the weather was agreeable. If the committee wanted to reroute the race he would not object. The committee decided to not alter the course and the boats passed right in front of Raleigh Beach much to the amusement and sometimes embarrassment of some crew members. All in all, the race went off without a hitch.

            This year last year’s winner, Hank Bell and his daughter, Jill jumped out to an early lead but got hung up in Dunn’s Cove and had to resort to paddling out and losing a great deal of time. They also got stuck around Raleigh Beach where a sandbar developed over the winter and was not discovered until after the race had started. Bell’s boat wasn’t the only one that encountered trouble with the course. Frank Furness and last year’s second place finisher, Cindy Taylor, both had difficulty getting around Raleigh Beach. It should be noted that none of the racers blamed the activity on the beach for their racing woes. Aside from the Dunn’s Cove and Raleigh Beach problems the race took less time than last year. The low 70’s and the brisk wind helped all contestants move around the course with graceful ease aside from the aforementioned difficulties.

            This year one of the original racers, Ward James was able to win the race by three lengths in front of his longtime nemesis, Earl Dorman. The two were the original racers back in 1955. They had made a bet on whose boat was quicker, set up a race and as they say, the rest is history. The race attracted so much attention other boat owners got together with the pair and set up the first multi-participant race in 1956. Boat owners around the lake have come together to form a loosely organized “Lake Charles Navy” and have taken over most of the race functions. They are also referred to as “the committee”.

            Behind James and Dorman, Walter O’Keefe, Vic Hale and Cindy Taylor came in in that order. There were some out of towners but most of the entrants were from the Lake Charles area. After the finish everyone met on the Plaza and a brief ceremony was held and James reluctantly accepted the trophy. “The only reason I am accepting this, you all know I was always against any trophy, the only reason I am accepting this is to prove once and for all to Dorman that my boat is faster,” said James with a laugh as he held the trophy over his head. The committee was already making plans for next year’s race even as the party on the Plaza went on well into the night.

TRAVELERS HOOK ANGLERS EARLY

---

Riverview- The beautiful Riverview Stadium was very welcoming to the Travelers on Saturday night. The Anglers were looking to stop the Travelers who were coming off a strong win last week. The Travelers had other ideas. They started out fast scoring four runs in the first two innings and didn’t look back as they hooked the Anglers 7-2. The Travelers bats were still hot and they were able to string together six innings in a row with at least one hit. They totaled 15 hits in the game including a blast out of the park by Johnny Cloos. That raised his season total to 12 and leads the league in dingers.

            The Anglers tried to get back into the game with a big sixth inning scoring both their runs, smacking Travelers pitcher, Joe Nagy, around for six hits in that inning. It was the Travelers defense that saved Nagy by turning a clean double play with the bases loaded to get him out of the inning. From then on the Travelers closed down the Anglers allowing only two more hits in the game while scoring two in the seventh and one in the eighth. Angler’s pitcher, Joe Amato, did not seem to have his signature curve ball working and he suffered for it.

            The Travelers stay on the road next week when they visit Cedar Creek on Saturday afternoon. The game begins at 1:05 in Cedar Creek ballpark.

STEEL WORKERS STRIKE! – CUBA’S URRUTIA RESIGNS – IKE SAYS “NO RETREAT ON BERLIN” – KHRUSHCHEV IN POLAND DOES NOT WANT WAR

---

Half-million steel workers strike the industry – the keystone of the U.S economy. The federal government’s chief labor mediator steps into the steel strike and quickly dashes hopes for an early settlement with the announcement that the deadlock “is a serious one, not susceptible to easy or early solution.” President Eisenhower for now will keep his hands off.

President Manuel Urrutia resigns after Fidel Castro accused him of “near treason.” Castro himself, resigned as prime minister a few hours earlier. Castro denounced Urruitia, his handpicked choice for president after the overthrow of Dictator Fulgencio Batista - for his criticism of Communists and Communism in Cuba.

President Eisenhower said the United States would make no retreat that could be looked on as clear evidence of western weakness in its Berlin stand. Moreover said the President, Russia must give “clear recognition of our rights and responsibilities” in West Berlin before he will agree to a meeting of chiefs of state.

In Poland, a tired and worn Premier Khrushchev tells a crowd in a mining and industrial center that he “was a miner too.” The town Katowice is sometimes called the Polish Pittsburgh and was the first stop on Khrushchev’s tour of the country. In Sosnowiec, Poland, Khrushchev, giving his solemn pledge to a cheering crowd “that never, never, never shall we launch any war against any country anywhere at any time. We want co-existence, we don’t want war. We don’t need war. Neither do the capitalist countries.”

3rd ANNUAL SAILBOAT RACE FLOATS ON FUN

---

East Farewell – Lake Charles was covered with sails on Saturday as the 3^rd annual Sailboat Race took over the lake for the afternoon. This year was limited to 25 entrants. The limit was put on after last year’s race when there were 20 entrants and the “race committee” decided that the lake could only handle five more boats. The “race committee” is a semi-formal group of past entrants, winners and losers, who appointed themselves the official organizers of the race. They handle every aspect of the event mainly because no one else would do it. The 25 entry limit was not a capricious decision; it actually was determined by the Lake Safety Standards that were put into place 10 years ago when the town and the lake were experiencing unprecedented growth. The Standards limit the number of boats over 15 feet. The “committee” felt that more than 25 boats in the race would surpass that limit.

            The race started at 1:00 with the now traditional blast of the Starter’s cannon fired from the Lakefront Plaza. The field was crowded at first but it thinned out quickly as the breeze shifted and the more experienced sailors were able to literally sail away. The beautiful summer afternoon with temperatures in the mid-70s and a mild breeze made for an almost leisurely race. There were no speed records to be set this year. As the boats slid by the Lakefront Plaza the assembled spectators cheered and waved. Many of the spectators were taking their summer vacation and had been in town since last week when they came for the fireworks. Almost every dock had a party on it and as the boats sailed by greetings were exchanged.

            This year the field was made up of eighteen of last year’s entrants and seven newcomers. A group of stalwart sailors seems to have emerged as the perennial contestants in this event. Along with the original racers, Ward James and last year’s winner, Earl Dorman, Hank Bell and his daughter, Jill, recent Regional graduate Jimmy Thompson, out of towners Dave Doyle from Slate Mountain and Dave Walker from Bedford and Bill O’Malley and Frank Furness who are summer residents make up the “Lake George Navy” a self-named group of core entrants to the race. The new entrants filled out the card and three Lake George residents, Vick Hale, Walter O’Keeffe and Cindy Taylor have already expressed interest in joining the “Navy”.

            The race took longer than the last year because of the calmer winds but no one seemed to care. The sailors were tested to their limits to negotiate the course and complete it. On the far end of the course there was a trouble around Dunn’s cove where the wind completely died and several boats came to a complete stop. Those boats had to revert to paddling out of the cove and pick up the breeze further down the shore. The race may have run longer but that meant the fun lasted longer, too. After the first two laps the field had spread out substantially with Hank Bell out front followed by newcomer Cindy Taylor making a run, Dorman in third and James in fourth. Hank Bell and his daughter, Jill crossed the finish line win a two boat lengths. Cindy Taylor came in second but the real excitement came as Dorman and James jockeyed for third place. Right as they came around the last turn Dorman swung wide and Ward was able to slip by inside him. Although he did not win Ward Tylor was able to achieve the one thing he had set out to do three years ago and that was beat Earl Dorman. The rest of the field drifted past the finish line, Jake Smart, Sam Sweeny, Kathy O’Malley, Charles Hertz, Will Getz, David Wells, Arthur Dolan, Billy Green, Arthur and Charlie Scott, Winnie Baylor, Sanford Chase, Mike Fink, Sammy Post and Chris Craft.

After the race everyone gathered on the Lakefront Plaza and the trophy was awarded. The ceremony carried on into a gala party with both entrants and spectators drinking and singing sailing songs and sea shanties and enjoying wonderful food supplied by the Lost Oasis restaurant. Local musicians provided the music, took requests and led the sing along.

TRAVELERS HOOK ANGLERS

---

Riverview – The Travelers stopped their month long skid into the league basement on Saturday with a strong win over the Riverview Anglers, 7-2. After last week’s disappointing loss to the Slate Mountain Miners the Travelers held a closed door meeting in their locker room to “discuss” their situation. While reporters were not invited and the team was close lipped afterwards some information leaked out and it seems that there were a lot of high emotions, shouting and pounding of lockers. The frustration overflowed and the air was cleared. A strategy was laid out by manager Sam Fowler and everyone went out for a beer.

            The strategy that Fowler laid out may never be known but the results were clearly evident on Saturday. The Travelers started of fast scoring three runs in the first inning with four hits. Ralph Francis started things off with a hit right off the bat, literally. Dunham sent him to second with a sacrifice, Watson followed with a single but Francis was held at third. Johnny Cloos singled scoring Francis and moving Watson to third. Dimero and Brown struck out and then Artie Archibald slammed a double scoring both Watson and Cloos. Billy Sweet finally ended the inning with a ground out to first. The damage was done and the slump had been broken. From then on the Travelers looked like the professional baseball team that they were two months ago.

            The Anglers were able to score one in the bottom of the first but Angler’s pitcher, Jim Clark, was rattled and he struggled throughout the game. He let up two more runs in the fifth and in the eighth Johnny Cloos found his swing again and blasted a two run homer out of the park. It was his first out of the park homerun in almost two months.

            The Anglers scored one more in the bottom of the eighth but for the most part Travelers pitcher, Danny Lane, was effective, striking out six and only allowing two runs and seven hits. The Travelers made no errors while the Anglers suffered two miscues.

            The Travelers stay on the road next week as they travel to Cedar Creek to take on the Bulls. The game starts at 1:30 in the Cedar Creek Ballpark.

LOCAL DELI EXPLODES – MEAT EVERYWHERE

---

East Farewell- The town avoided a full-fledged disaster on Tuesday thanks to the quick thinking of Fire Chief Thomas “Cal” Calhoun.  At approximately 7:00 AM Lou’s Deli, 501 Main, unexpectedly and inexplicably blew up. Debris showered down on Main Street and a huge fire ball rolled into the evening sky. Luckily for everyone the deli was only two blocks down from the fire station. Almost immediately an alarm was sounded and firemen were scrambled. Calhoun arrived on the scene within minutes of the explosion and took charge. He was able to quickly shut down the gas main that fed the block and direct his men to bring the fire under control within eight minutes. The entire structure was demolished but buildings on both sides were spared. The deli was bracketed by a bank and a furniture store and both were closed at the time of the explosion. There was one injury, Miss Monica Shippensport was struck in the head with a ham hock. She was knocked to the ground and suffered cuts and bruises to her head.  She was treated at the scene and sent home to recover further. Miss Shippensport was in the news earlier for other, less catastrophic reasons. She admitted to giving away the Flower Show budget to a con man in the spring. She was sentenced to house arrest and commanded to repay the money. Ironically, last Tuesday was only her third day allowed back on the street. She was walking home from a meeting with her lawyer when she was struck. “I just can’t believe this happened to me. If I was closer I would have been blown to bits. I walking along feeling sorry for myself, I heard the explosion and looked around next thing I know, kapow! This giant hunk of meat hits me in the head and knocks me down. I am feeling like I am the luckiest person in the world right now, a little banged up but still lucky to be alive,” reflected Shippensport to this reporter before she was escorted home.

            It is believed that a gas leak inside the deli caused the explosion but the investigation is ongoing. Owner Lou Myer was in tears out front of the space where his deli used to stand. He had closed the store early because of a family commitment and was called back by Calhoun soon after the fire was brought under control. “This is a tragedy,” sobbed Myer, “I can’t begin to tell you how crushed I am. This deli was my life. Now I have nothing.”

            Many people have already started giving donations to Lou to try and rebuild. Even before he had made any statements a fund was founded at the bank called “Lou’s Deli Fund” and had more than $1000.00 in it through anonymous donations. “We all love Lou and we loved his deli,” said Mrs. Mallard, “I hope he will rebuild and thank goodness no one was seriously injured. How about Monica though, what she doesn’t need right now is a big old ham hitting her in the head. Holy cow, that is some bad luck wrapped in a good luck package. If she was any closer she would have been gone.”

East Farewell – The Travelers got back on track as they manhandled the Riverview Anglers, 6-1, as they met the first time this season. The Travelers started off early scoring three runs in the first with back to back singles by Dunham and Watson and then league leading hitter Johnny Cloos tagged his 10^th homer. In the sixth the bottom of the order got into the scoring act with Brown smashing a triple followed by a walk by Archibald then a towering center field blast by Billy Sweet. The defense was also very stingy only letting the Anglers get on the board with a single score in the sixth. They were also able to turn three double plays effective killing the Anglers offense.

The Travelers will come home next week to face Corning. The game will begin in the ballpark at 1:05.
