Lafayette Man Rows To London

Lamorindan Anthony Fahden and his three-man crew will be rowing for the United States in London.


The U.S. lightweight men’s four rowing team with Lafayette resident Anthony Fahden aboard has qualified for Olympic competition, pushing through a strong international field to win the final by 0.14 seconds over the Dutch during qualification rowing in Luzern, Switzerland Tuesday.

The U.S. was in third behind The Netherlands and Serbia crossing the 500-meter mark, and moved into second by the halfway point.

“The plan was basically to get out – not a crazy start or anything. We relied on the base, and executed. That’s what we’ve been working on,” said Fahden.

The U.S. took the lead in the third quarter of the race, and held on to win with a time of 6:01.85. The Netherlands clocked a 6:01.99 to grab the second qualifying spot.

The Wabash River flows through Lafayette and provides abundant fishing opportunities. Several lakes, both natural and man-made, are in the area, with many offering camping privileges. Thanks.

On several occasions, I have seen 5-6 chickens pecking their way down their steep driveway on theRead More east side of Saint Mary's Road, very close to the Cattle Chute. I had not read this story earlier. On 6/3 or 6/4, I saw a black hen, alone, out in the road right at the point of the Moraga Commons. It was pecking the pavement on Moraga Road, as cars turning north from Saint Mary's Road were avoiding it. I hope the chicken crossed the road to the trail on the other side. Better yet, I hope it turned around and followed that trail right back to the Cattle Chute and home.
