Andy Kirkaldy: Soccer gripes a double standard

Posted on June 19, 2019 |
By Andy Kirkaldy



Kirkaldy, Andy ONLINE.jpg

Between 1983 and 1992 only two Super Bowls were decided by fewer than 10 points. Scores included 38-9, 46-10, 42-10, 55-10 and 52-17. 

The 46-10 game was a beatdown of the New England Patriots by the Chicago Bears in which the Bears gave the ball to an offensive lineman (Refrigerator Perry) and allowed him to score a touchdown when the game was already out of hand.

Matt Dickerson: Fishing for trout at mosquito hour

Less than an hour remained until sunset. I had one stretch of river to fish before calling it a day.

Matt Dickerson: Expectations and explorations

The dates had been circled on my calendar for months. Both came in the same week. Both were for fishing, though with different people in different states.

Karl Lindholm: Don't call Bruce Bosley the voice of the Panthers

Posted on May 23, 2019 |
By Karl Lindholm



Karl Lindholm col Bruce Bosely.jpg

He’s been to 84 different sporting events at Middlebury College, 11 different teams — that’s this year alone!

You probably won’t recognize him, or even see him. He doesn’t cheer for either side (but he has deep ties to Middlebury). Yet he is the lifeline to games for many of the college’s most ardent rooters, parents and alumni who follow the teams, often from great distances.

Matt Dickerson: And then it struck

Posted on May 16, 2019 |
By Matt Dickerson



Dickerson, Matt ONLINE.jpg

It had been a long day, and indeed a long couple weeks. Too much time had gone by since last I had stood beside a river and listened to its voice, looked for its creatures. Which is to say, too much time since I’d been fishing. I was feeling the need. Though less than an hour remained until sunset, I threw a couple rods in the car and drove down to Frog Hollow below the falls in Middlebury.

Andy Kirkaldy: Right call on high schools — finally

Posted on May 9, 2019 |
By Andy Kirkaldy



Kirkaldy, Andy ONLINE.jpg

In early March of 2015, fed up with watching the Vermont Principals’ Association force smaller Division I high schools like Middlebury Union to play against much larger Chittenden County powerhouses in the so-called “core sports,” I did some homework for a column.

Matt Dickerson: Of cliff swallows and javelinas

Posted on May 2, 2019 |
By Matt Dickerson



Dickerson, Matt ONLINE.jpg
It was hard to keep my eyes on the road as our car roller-coastered through the Texas Hill Country. Thanks to the winter rainy season, wildflowers in myriad hues of blue, yellow, white and red blanketed the ground. Though we had missed the season for the state’s famous bluebonnets, the Indian blankets were in full bloom. Also known as “firewheel,” their deep red petals tipped in yellow were accented by an occasional stem of blue sage popping up in their midst.

Karl Lindholm: My first-world problem

Posted on April 25, 2019 |
By Karl Lindholm



Lindholm, Karl ONLINE.jpg

"Dad, that’s the definition of a First World problem,” my daughter Annie said, declining to listen further to my lament.

I admit my dilemma is not a matter of global concern in our troubled world. But it is an immediate and personal conundrum requiring serious cogitation and mindfulness before I make a decision, and I feel the need to make a decision pretty soon.

I must decide whether or not to play golf this summer, or really any summer that I have left.

Matt Dickerson: Opening weekend on the water

Posted on April 18, 2019 |
By Matt Dickerson



Dickerson, Matt ONLINE.jpg

By Monday afternoon, I was beginning to hear reports of flooding around Vermont. Heavy rain moving in on Sunday, combined with plenty of snow still melting on the higher elevations of the Green Mountains, had the rivers raging. The White River was over its banks on Route 107. Otter Creek rose a yard over its flood stage in Rutland. The Winooski had also crested official flood stage in Essex Junction.

Karl Lindholm: Beautiful weather, no bells and whistles

Posted on April 11, 2019 |
By Karl Lindholm



Lindholm, Karl ONLINE.jpg

It’s my favorite baseball experience:

That is, watching the Middlebury College team play another worthy small college team on a beautiful warm sunlit day in the month of March.

Obviously, we’re not talking about baseball in New England. As we all know, there are two good reasons not to live in this part of the country — one is November and the other is March, two nasty bleak long cold months.

It’s important to get away in March, if at all possible, to more congenial climes, if only for a brief interlude.
