Erie PA News and Events for Sunday October 1, 2006
Posted by Dennis on October 1, 2006
The Brewerie at Union Station is now open. If you go, send in your thoughts. I’ve heard good things about the beers available. The food is another story. It could be a matter of working about the kinks and details but “slow service” and “cold when it should have been hot” is what I’ve heard.
The US Department of Agriculture Rural Development fund has given a $17,500 grant for the formation of a wine incubator in North East, PA. In the next decade, it is hoped that 10 small wineries would be created. The prices for grapes for jelly and juice have dropped like a rock with imports coming from South America. Prices paid for wime grapes are going up.
George Balzer passed away this week at age 91. Balzer was born on Sept 1, 1915, in Erie, Pa. He was a comedy writer for 25 years for Jack Benny and won two Emmy awards for his work on “The Jack Benny Show.”

London improved to 3-0 with the win while Erie dropped to 1-2-0-1. London led 2-1 after one and 5-1 heading into the third. The Knights out shot the Otters 37-33 in the game as Ryan Ludzik started and took the loss. Ludzik allowed five goals on 20 shots and was replaced by Jeff Dawson to start the third. The rookie free agent allowed two goals on 17 shots. The three stars of the game were all from the Knights. Gagner was the first, Perry the second and Patrick Kane (two assists) the third.
