More questions than answers for AL East teams Corey Buxton asked me last week what I thought about the Red Sox’s chances this year. To be honest, I said, I hadn’t really sized it up. But then I rattled off, well, is pitcher Clay Buchholz going to make it through the year healthy? Were the end-of-the-season surges by fellow hurlers Joe Kelly and Rick Porcello last year for real, or are they going to be mediocre again (or worse)? How healthy is Eduardo Rodriguez, and can he build on his strong rookie season as a starting pitcher? Are outfielders Jackie Bradley and Rusney Castillo going to hit? Is Hanley Ramirez going to field OK at first base? Is there an all-you-caneat buffet in Boston safe from Pablo Sandoval? Will the bullpen hold up with new acquisition Carson Smith out with injury and 42-year-old Koji Uehara reporting “general soreness,” something to which a 60-year-old pickup soccer player can relate? I was going on and on until Corey finally summed it up: “A lot of question marks.” To be fair, Boston has some pluses: David Ortiz at DH, Pedroia at second and Xander Bogaerts at short, young catcher Blake Swihart and capable backup Ryan Hanigan behind the plate (with Christian Vazquez nursing his rocket arm back to health in Pawtucket), all-world Mookie Betts in right field, terrific outfield defense, and starter David Price and closer Craig Kimbrel, the offseason pickups to anchor the pitching staff. They could be OK. The funny thing is you could say the same thing about the entire American League East. Every team has its pluses and minuses, its knowns and unknowns, or, as Donald Rumsfeld would say, its known unknowns. The Yankees have plugged their (See Kirkaldy, Page 3B)

Women’s lax wins two more, now 7-0 Panthers ranked No. 2 after romps By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College women’s lacrosse team recently added two more big wins, rolling past visiting NESCAC foe Bowdoin on Saturday, 20-9, before heading to Pennsylvania and defeating Dickinson, 12-7, on Tuesday. The Panthers moved to 7-0 heading into a Wednesday game at Stevenson. They are the only undefeated team remaining in NESCAC, and they have moved up to No. 2 in the NCAA Division III coaches’ poll, trailing only unbeaten defending national champion Cort-

land State. Middlebury’s most impressive stretch in those two games came early vs. No. 20 Bowdoin, 3-4 overall and 0-4 in NESCAC play: The Panthers blitzed Bowdoin with five goals in the first 4:04. Mary O’Connell, who finished with a single-game program record of 13 points with nine goals (on nine shots) and four assists, figured in all of those goals. After the Panthers’ aggressive midfield defense forced a failed Bowdoin clear, middie Laurel Pascal fed O’Connell in transition at 1:32. That strike was the first of five Panther goals in the next 2:32. The next three scores were almost iden(See Lacrosse, Page 4B)

Men’s tennis still unbeaten COSTA MESA, Calif. — The Middlebury College men’s tennis team breezed to wins in its first four matches of its trip to California this week, improving to 7-0. The Panthers, finalists in NCAA Division III a year ago, are ranked No. 3 this season. At least one tough test awaits in their final two games out West: After visiting D-II Riverside on Thursday, the Panthers will travel to No. 2 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on Saturday, the defending NCAA champion. On this past Saturday, the team opened its trip with an 8-1 victory over Division II Concordia in Costa Mesa. The Panthers took all three doubles points against the Eagles. At No. 1, Ari Smolyar and Noah Farrell prevailed, 8-1. At No. 2, Palmer Campbell and Hamid Derbani posted an 8-5 win. At No. 3, Timo van der Geest and William de Quant needed extra play to earn the point for Middlebury, 9-8. In singles, at No. 6 van der Geest picked up a 6-2, 6-0 decision. At No. 3, Campbell earned the match-clinching point with a 6-3, 6-3 win. The four remaining matches all needed tiebreakers. At No. 4, de Quant won, 6-1, 3-6, 10-3, and at No. 5 Derbani won 7-6, 1-6, 10-5. At No. 2, Smolyar was edged, 3-6, 6-4, 14-12. At No. 1, Farrell won, 6-1, (See Men’s tennis, Page 3B)

Women’s tennis wins pair, ranked at No. 7 SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The Middlebury College women’s tennis team picked up two recent 9-0 victories, one in the first of three matches played in the Panthers’ spring trip to California, to improve to 5-0, but two tough tests lie in wait for a team ranked No. 7 in NCAA Division III. On Thursday, the Panthers will visit No. 3 Pomona-Pitzer, and on Saturday they will travel to No. 5 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps before returning next weekend to start NESCAC play on the road.

Panther softball ends spring trip with 5-3 mark CLERMONT, Fla. — The Middlebury softball team ended its eightgame spring break trip to Clermont, Fla., with a 5-3 record after playing games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Next up for the Panthers is a threegame set on Friday and Saturday at NESCAC West rival Amherst. Middlebury concluded its trip by winning two of the three contests on Sunday. The Panthers opened with a win over Buffalo State (8-8) before defeating Thomas (4-9). The day ended with a loss to Luther, at 19-1 the No. 7 team in NCAA Division III. Against Buffalo, the Panthers rallied from a 5-0 deficit to win, 6-5. Middlebury plated four runs in the fifth to make it a one-run game. Siobhan O’Sullivan led off the inning with a double and scored on an Erin Giles single. Hye-Jin Kim reached on an error, allowing O’Sullivan to score. Taylor Gardner drove in Giles with a ground out, and Ande Troutman double to left center to score Kim. Jackie Stern singled to drive in Troutman and cap the rally. Middlebury tied the game in the sixth when a Stern grounder plated Troutman, who led off with a single.

The Panthers won the game in the bottom of the seventh. Carlyn Vachow singled to start the inning and moved to second on an O’Sullivan single. Giles advanced the runners with a bunt, and Kim singled the winning run home. Allison Quigley started before giving way to Irene Margiotta, who picked up the win with 2.2 innings of one-hit relief. Thomas took a 1-0 lead in the day’s second game before Middlebury scored four runs in the fourth inning on the way to a 5-2 victory. Sarah Freyre homered to lead off the inning. The rest of the runs scored on a Kim walk, singles by Emma Hamilton, Stern, and O’ Sullivan, and two fielder’s choices, one of them a Kat Maehr RBI groundout. Both teams scored in the sixth. In the bottom of the inning, O’Sullivan’s single plated an unearned run. Margiotta (2-1) went four innings to earn the win, allowing one run and two hits with three strikeouts. Lane Dikeman allowed a run in 1.2 innings, while Neve Stearns tossed 1.1 hitless innings to earn the second save. In the final game of the trip, Luther

After RBI groundouts by Maehr and Giles in the second, Ally Doll added an RBI double in the third to make it 10-0. Middlebury added an unearned run in the fourth. Stearns threw a scoreless first, while Dikeman earned the win with four innings of three-hit relief. In an 8-0 victory vs. Thomas, the Panthers scored twice in the first, keyed by Vachow’s RBI double. Middlebury scored four times in the third, highlighted by Freyre’s two-run single. O’Sullivan and Maehr added RBI singles on the way to the 8-0 final. Stern finished with three hits and three runs scored. Quigley picked up the win, tossing a two-hit shutout over five innings with seven strikeouts. On Friday, the Panthers opened by splitting a pair of games, earning a 3-2 win over Southern Maine (8-3) in the opener, but losing to West Virginia University Institute of Technology (10-15) by 11-5 in the second game. Southern Maine took the lead with an unearned run in the second inning. Middlebury scored in the third, when Kim singled, moved up on a passed ball and wild pitch, and scored on a Stern hit. Southern Maine regained the lead on a pair of hits off Quigley in the bottom of the fourth, but the Panthers answered with the tying and winning runs in the bottom of the inning. O’Sullivan singled and eventually scored on a wild pitch, and Kati Daczkowski singled to plate Vachow, who walked. Quigley tossed a complete game, allowing two runs, one earned, on five hits with six strikeouts and three walks. West Virginia Institute of Technology outslugged the Panthers in the nightcap. Gardner, O’Sullivan and Kim, who homered, each drilled two hits for Middlebury, but Genna Trippett pounded three homers for the Golden Bears to lead their 11-run assault. Margiotta tossed four innings and gave up three runs, two earned, on three hits. Stearns took the loss, giving up four runs on eight hits in two innings. Dikeman tossed an inning, allowing four runs, three earned, on two hits.

Panthers run to victories in western meet SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Alexandra Morris broke the school record in the 400-meter dash and Sebastian Matt won the 5,000-meter run as the Middlebury College track and field teams opened their annual spring trip to California in the Point Loma Nazarene University Collegiate Invitational. The Panther women finished sixth out of 18 teams with 145 points, while the men were seventh of 21 with 164 points. Middlebury returns to action Saturday at the California Collegiate Invitational hosted by U.C.-San Diego. In the women’s competition, Morris lowered the school record in the 400 to 57.06 while taking second place, besting the record of 57.51 set by Juliet Ryan-Davis in 2013. The Panther women took additional top-10 finishes. Lucy Lang finished third in the 800-meter run (2:12.49), while Paige Fernandez was third in the 400-meter hurdles (1:05.38), a race in which Jackie Kearney took sixth (1:07.95) Abigail Nadler was fifth in the 1,500 (4:33.87), while Lauren Bougioukas was 10th (4:44.43). The 4x400-meter relay of Kearney, Halle Gustafson, Fernandez and Kate McCluskey took third in 4:01.62. In field events, Carly Andersen took second in the javelin toss (136’1”), while Julia Lothrop placed ninth (108’4”). Maddie Pronovost was sev-

In singles action, the Panthers produced points four through eight with straight-set wins over the 6-7 Pioneers. At No. 4, de Quant won, 6-1, 6-1, and at No. 6 van der Geest clinched the match with a 6-1, 6-2 win. Smolyar won No. 2, 6-2, 6-0, while Derbani cruised in the fifth flight.

while Connor Evans was eighth (4:02.34). Other top-10 finishes were posted by Kevin Serrao in the 800 (fourth, 1:53.26), Jimmy Martinez in the 200 (sixth, 22.02) and Alex Nichols in the 400 (seventh, 48.85). The 4x400-meter relay of Martinez, Nichols, Brandon Cushman and James

nings pitched, and C.C. Sabathia is fading fast. Luis Severino might be the best bet on the staff, but don’t tell my fantasy competitors on Saturday I said so. If the Bombers have to start Ivan Nova, they should issue the infielders batting helmets. Of course, those starters can hand off the baton to the shutdown bullpen trio of Andrew Miller, Dillon Betances and, when he returns from suspension, Aroldis “Pistol-Packing” Chapman. That group is the team’s greatest strength, and is not to be underestimated — the defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals demonstrated the value of a shutdown relief corps. Still, like the Sox, the Yankees carry question marks. And such is the case with the other American League East teams. Toronto retains most of its offense, but lost its best starter,

Price, to the Sox, and has a shaky rotation. Tampa Bay has a terrific young starting staff, but its bullpen and offense do not inspire fear. Baltimore can hit, but will put two statues in the corner outfield slots and hope opponents hit the ball to Adam Jones in center. Their top two relievers are excellent, but the bullpen is not deep and the team’s top starter, Chris Tillman, saw his ERA jump dramatically a year ago while his walks increased and strikeouts decreased. Another starter, Kevin Gausman, begins the year on the DL. Outside of the East, K.C. lost Johnny Cueto and Ben Zobrist from their championship team and did not replace them with the same quality. The Royals’ rotation looks especially thin. The Angels and Tigers continue slow declines, although Detroit should be better this year.

Some tout Texas as a sleeper, but the Rangers’ best pitcher, Yu Darvish, is recovering from surgery, as is their closer. Josh Hamilton is hurt again, and the bullpen doesn’t look like a strength. The Astros might be best positioned of all the teams, but as the season neared they were still looking for answers at first and third base and the bottom of the rotation. So, sure, the Sox and Yankees have question marks, but they are not alone. The biggest questions remain what and how much is going to go right for which teams, and which are going to make moves to answer their questions as the season moves along. In the meantime, the forecast on my Magic 8-Ball comes up, “Hazy. Try Again Later.”

tories came in straight sets. Cole Sutton prevailed, 6-1, 6-0, at No. 6, and Kyle Schlanger clinched the match at No. 4, 6-3, 6-0. Smolyar won at No. 1, 6-0, 6-2; de Quant cruised at No. 3, 6-1, 6-0; Campbell won No. 2 ,6-2, 6-3; and Peter Martin completed the sweep at No. 5, 6-2, 6-2. On Tuesday, the Panthers defeated No. 8 Pomona-Pitzer, 6-3, losing one doubles match and the final two singles matches after taking a 6-1 lead against the 9-7 Sagehens. In doubles, Smolyar and Noah Farrell won, 8-1, and at No. 3 de Quant and van der Geest doubled the Panther lead with an 8-6 victory before Campbell and Derbani lost, 9-8. The Panthers then won the first four contested singles matches to clinch the team win.

Teixeira at first and A-Rod at DH have seen better days, as has Carlos Beltran in right field, although all three remain dangerous hitters when and if healthy. McCann behind the plate is a twoway plus, as is Brett Gardner in left field. As is Jacoby Ellsbury in center field if he’s not nursing an injury — only once in the past four years has he played more than 134 games. The rotation is full of those known unknowns. Tanaka is still pitching with a torn ligament, Pineda is in his second year returning after two years of shoulder woes, Nathan Eovaldi returns after two years in a row allowing about 20 more hits than in-

She circled counter-clockwise and found, in turn, Bridget Instrum, Hollis Perticone and Pascal at the far post. O’Connell then capped the run with a bullet into the upper-right corner at 25:56 after taking a feed from Perticone, who notched the fifth assist on as many Panther goals. In all vs. Bowdoin, the Panthers racked up 14 assists from seven players, and six Panthers scored. Two of the goals came from senior captain and midfielder Chrissy Ritter, the former Middlebury Union High School standout, who led the team by causing three Bowdoin turnovers. Ritter said two things really stood out to her about the Panthers’ effort on Saturday. One was their poise and confidence. “The reason we played so well today is we were really relaxed and calm,” Ritter said. The second was that the team’s settled offense was more effective than previously, more so than a week before when Middlebury scored 13 times vs. Wesleyan. After that game Coach Kate Livesay said that she would focus on that aspect of the Panthers’ play. This past Saturday, Ritter noted the Panthers’ improved ball movement in settled situations. “On every possession on attack a new person was scoring and a new person was feeding. It was such a team effort,” Ritter said. “We worked a lot on settled offense this week. We worked on our motion,

With Livesay already subbing freely, Bowdoin’s Megan O’Connor scored twice to make it 10-4 at 12:22 of the first half. But the Panthers closed the half on a 5-2 run that included three O’Connell goals and two by Ritter. By halftime, it was 15-6. In the Panther goal, Madeleine Kinker made three saves in the first half, while Kate Furber made five in the second half. For Bowdoin, O’Connor and Beecher each finished with three goals, and in goal Kayli Weiss made six saves in the first half and Erin Morrissey made one save afterward.

VERGENNES — Among other activity between March 21 and 27, Vergennes police handled two lost wallets, participated in a special truck enforcement detail with state officials, and dealt with two alleged assaults in which they ended up not filing charges. In that week, Vergennes police: • On March 21 went to help Vermont State Police and Addison County Sheriff’s Department deputies with a domestic dispute in a car on Plank Road; police said it turned out to be an argument and not an assault. • On March 22 served an abuseprevention order on a city resident. • On March 22 spoke to downtown business owners about employees parking in Main Street spaces. • On March 23 contacted the owners of two wallets found and then brought to the police station, one by a woman and handed to police, and one just left in the lobby. • On March 23 conducted truck enforcement with Department of Motor Vehicle personnel on Routes 7 and 22A; police said they ordered three vehicles off the road, two for equipment problems and one for driver’s logbook violations. • On March 24 heard from a city resident that his ex-wife was sending him threatening text messages. Police issued the woman a no-trespass order on the man’s residence. • On March 25 were told a man’s wife had just left home while driving under the influence of drugs. Police tracked her to a motel in Ticonderoga, N.Y., and police there determined she was fine. • On March 25 stood by while a tow truck pulled a tractor-trailer truck from a ditch on West Main Street. • On March 25 called an acquaintance to stay with a drunken woman at a Hillside Drive apartment. • On March 25 were informed by Northlands Job Corps security of a brawl involving several students. Police said Northlands security provided them with statements, but students were not cooperative with an investigation; police sent the statements to the Addison County State’s Attorney’s Office. • On March 25 confiscated marijuana at a Main Street traffic stop. • On March 25 ticketed the driver of a car stopped on Main Street for speeding and possession of drug paraphernalia, and issued court diversion paperwork to a minor passenger for possession of marijuana. • On March 26 heard conflicting stories about a domestic incident: A man said a woman hit him with a frying pan, while the woman said the situation was verbal only, and that she was fine. No citations were issued. • On March 27 helped a woman get into her locked car at a Main Street business. • On March 27 aided VSP and the Vergennes Area Rescue Squad by helping to calm an out-of-control female patient on Greenbush Road in Ferrisburgh.

Thomas Saunders, of Middlebury, assists individuals and families with filing their federal and Vermont State tax returns through the AARP Tax Program. Tom was drawn to the program because he enjoys the challenge of helping figure out tax returns. He works alongside many dedicated volunteer tax preparers including AARP Tax Program District Coordinator Joyce Stephens. Joyce has been impressed with Tom’s initiative and describes: “Tom is new to the tax aide program this year, and is a definite asset to the program. Not only did he complete all the tax training required by AARP, he elected to take additional courses so that he could gain a really good grasp of the tax laws.” Thank you for your hard work, Tom!

I’m thinking about getting my feet wet with investment property. Any advice?

Investing in real estate can be an excellent idea for a lot of reasons. For one thing, it’s a great way to diversify your assets. While stocks are falling, for Jeff Olson example, real estate may be holding its value. Also, investing in real estate offers tax advantages, especially with an owner’s ability to depreciate property and get significant deductions. That said, investing in real estate is not for everyone. You’ll need to screen tenants carefully, for one thing, and be ready for that Memorial Day call telling you the septic system backed up into the house. The good news is you can hire others—like ACRE’s property management division—to handle the headaches and still enjoy positive cash flow. We at Addison County Real Estate are experienced investors in single family and multifamily rentals, flips, and commercial real estate. Give us a call anytime to tap our expertise.
