Booster Club testimonial banquet honor for New Castle Chiefs
The good people of New Castle expect upwards of 700 to attend the Booster Club testimonial banquet at the Cathedral on Wednesday April 21 to honor the New Castle Chiefs of the Mid Atlantic league. Weather cooled from Friday heat to around thirty degrees early this morning as workers installed a large illuminated cross on Central Presbyterian Church. A lone plane over the city around 9:30 p m Friday appeared distressed. Night flying from the New Castle airport has not yet begun in earnest. Rainy conditions last week spurred rapid lawn growth and some residents mowed a second time. Sampson Street residents question the stalled bus extension toward their area. No action has occurred on that project for months.
