Varsity golf team wins title in exciting match
The varsity golf team had their most important match of the year this past Tuesday, May 14, in a match pitting the three best teams in the Northern Division of the CSC, held at the Thendara Golf Course, a par 36 front nine.
Old Forge knew going in that a victory over both schools would clinch the title and it was not decided until the fourth player had completed her round. Yes, it was Lexie Haehl, and when she sunk a clutch putt on t ...

Girls varsity softball
The girls' varsity softball team played one league game and two non-league games this past week.
Monday, May 6, they played their last league game of the season hosting Rome Catholic. Guess what? The team won their first game of the year in an exciting 16-13 victory.
The game started poorly for the team as they gave up six runs to Rome in the first inning. However, they did not play like a team that has not won a game this year and they played ...

Three strikes and you're dinner
"If you hunt and fish long enough, then just about everything that can happen-will happen" Paul Lyall
Paul is an older friend of mine who has spent much of his life outdoors, and his words were ringing in my ears last Thursday when three unusual things happened to me while fishing on my day off.
First: I hooked the bass pictured above, three times.
Second: A stringer of fish was carried off by another fish.
Fishing on my day off is not unusual, but I still feel ...

I drove my children and grandchildren to distraction reciting them, as did my parents a ...

Good news and bad news
The first thing I do every morning is turn on the news. Before he died early this year my best friend Morgan Roderick and I compared notes on the passing scene at least once a week. You see we both came from the old school and never ceased to be bummed out by the direction we saw the country headed in. One of our favorite analogies was to compare our versions of current mores with those of our respective parents. I shudder to think that if the trend continues ...

Bugged
And so POOF! All of the sudden it is spring and it's springing all over the darn place. My itchy eyes and drippy nose tell me that the pollen is on the loose. I happily blow my nose and dab my eyes. Every year I stand in my yard and survey the feet upon feet of snow and become convinced that the world will never, ever be green again. It seems like it will never melt, like it's an impossible feat and yet one day it is gone. I remarked just yesterday that the bugs hadn't been ...
