Andy Kirkaldy: Boston teams have questions — and promise

Posted on December 14, 2017 |
By Andy Kirkaldy



Time for a year-end look at the sports teams of my youth. Hey, I’ve seen Bobby Orr, Michael (best cornerback ever) Haynes of the Patriots, Carl Yastrzemski and Larry Bird live. (OK, Larry was in street clothes sitting with Red Auerbach at Boston Garden the day before he signed, but that counts, right?) So I’m going to stay loyal.

As of this writing, the Boston sports team owning the longest winning streak is your hockey Bruins — two in a row heading into a Wednesday tilt with the Detroit Red Wings.

So, on her way to a graduate degree in Music Performance, she got waylaid ... and became a coach instead. She traded in her violin for a whistle:

And now Katharine Perry Delorenzo is Middlebury College’s virtuoso field hockey coach, and her athletes play beautiful music on Kohn Field in the fall.

Andy Kirkaldy: Injuries take toll, both physically and mentally

Posted on November 22, 2017 |
By Andy Kirkaldy



Kirkaldy, Andy ONLINE.jpg

Talk to an athlete and you are almost certainly talking to an injured athlete. Maybe not at the moment, but somewhere along the line he or she will have twisted an ankle, suffered a concussion, broken a bone, torn some cartilage, or suffered the dreaded anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in a knee.

My own list includes too many ankle sprains to remember, at least one concussion, two broken bones, and surgeries to remove torn meniscus in a knee and scrape a bone spur out of an ankle joint.

Virtually any athlete can tell a similar story.

Matt Dickerson: Hunting and slowing down

Posted on November 16, 2017 |
By Matt Dickerson



This is the time of year when a significant number of Vermonters disappear into the woods for hours on end and just sit. Quietly. Listening. I’m often one of those Vermonters. We are out there, of course, because it is the annual 16-day rifle season for whitetail deer.

Karl Lindholm: A legend who 'lifted us all up'

Posted on November 9, 2017 |
By Karl Lindholm



Beams 2 .jpg

An All-American in lacrosse in his senior year at Middlebury College in 1966, Fred Beams was selected to play that year in the North-South Senior Lacrosse All-Star game in Baltimore.

He won the opening faceoff, dashed down the field, unleashed his wicked underhand shot, and scored ... three seconds into the game!

Last Saturday, Fred was inducted into the Middlebury College Hall of Fame with six other Middlebury stalwarts. This ceremony was only the fourth such celebration, as the Panther Hall of Fame was founded in 2014.

Matt Dickerson: Our fishing rivers are under threat

Dickerson, Matt ONLINE.jpg

I recently experienced a good scare. It was the kind of scare you get when you think about something really beautiful being transformed into something horrible, or about life being threatened by death. And it had nothing to do with Halloween.

Karl Lindholm: Meditations on postseason baseball

Posted on October 25, 2017 |
By Karl Lindholm



Karl Lindholm col russ & karl.jpg

Don’t you just love this time of year — baseball’s post-season: the best teams playing for high stakes, win or go home, big noisy crowds, performances for the ages.

Don’t you just hate the post-season — all that hoopla, the regular season devalued, mere excellence tantamount to failure, the endless rounds of playoffs extending the season interminably.

If not a love/hate relationship to the postseason in sports, I have a powerful ambivalence, almost always overcome by the games themselves.

Matt Dickerson: Two days in autumn

Posted on October 19, 2017 |
By Matt Dickerson



Paddling the canoe around Lake Dunmore with my wife has become an annual October outing. If we don’t get our 17-foot Old Towne out at least once while a misty hillside above the Falls of Lana is blurred with red and orange and yellow, autumn feels incomplete.

What isn’t an annual outing is bringing our big black Lab along for the paddle, or being able to go out on the water without a coat or sweater.
