Newburyport High School Senior Athletes Discuss Sports

No question sports are a big part of the lives of recently graduated Newburyport seniors, Colleen Coviello and Richie Burke (pictured above).

“I started playing during all seasons in elementary school,” recalled Richie. 

For Colleen a year round sports life began in 4th grade.  “Soccer was the sport I started with and then other sports came along.”

During high school, Colleen participated in soccer as well as indoor and outdoor track.  Summertime found her playing more soccer at camps.

Richie was able to involve himself in football, lacrosse, golf, basketball, and baseball during his four years at Newburyport High.  “I played lacrosse and football in just my freshman year,” he explained.  “I had a couple of concussions and switched to baseball and golf to go along with basketball.  I had to stay away from all contact sports on doctor’s orders.”

Richie’s love of sports motivated him to keep his grades up.  “You want to participate and you know that you need good grades to do that.  Sometimes you come home tired from practice/games but you know that you have to get your schoolwork finished so you do. I tried to get as much work done in school as I could.”

Organizing her schedule away from sports was important to Colleen.  “You must manage your time.  You realize early on that after practice you have to get the work done because there is no other time available.”

Colleen credited her coaches for helping her academically.  “I was never overwhelmed because the coaches were very good about giving me time if I needed to catch up on something in a class.”

For most high school year round athletes the transition to college takes some doing.  Why?  Depending on the college they attend, there is a good chance that they will not be active in college sports year round the way they were in high school. That is the case with Colleen.  She is going to Division 1 College of Charleston in South Carolina.

“I’ll try club soccer and see how that goes,” she said.  “There probably will be free time away from classes and homework.  I am willing to try new things.  Maybe volleyball or flag football.  If I’m not active I could get bored pretty fast.”

Richie on the other hand could well continue to be a year round athlete at Division 3 Nichols College in Dudley, Massachusetts.  He was recruited to play basketball there and expects to try out for baseball as well.  “Among other things such as working I’ll be training for college basketball.”

“Athletics were the best part of high school,” added Richie.  “My memories will be of being with different people each season.”

Colleen’s memories of high school sports are more precise.  “The thing that I will always remember will be this past soccer season (Division C state champs).  Many of my best friends were on the team.  We had an unbelievable season and ended up state champions.”

Ultimate Frisbee Arrives in Newburyport

You’ve thrown a Frisbee around in an open space somewhere, haven’t you?  Most of us have in the backyard and except for the errant toss that ends up in your mother’s flower garden or one that separates an older relative from a grilled burger it has been very enjoyable.

In Newburyport, tossing a Frisbee around has moved into the organized stage thanks to the efforts of Newburyport teachers Brandon Sturma and Jen Griskin (pictured above).  They started an Ultimate Frisbee club program last year and this year moved into a more official status.

Brandon, a high school history teacher, was quick to give credit to their sponsor, the Newburyport Youth Services, for making this spring season club team a reality.  “They have been phenomenal.  Right from the get-go the supervisor of youth services, Andrea Egmont, has helped us with fields, waivers, and organizational things.”

“This is the pilot year for Ultimate Frisbee,” explained Andrea in her city hall office.  “I am pleased with the way it has gone.  It’s a competitive sport without the attitude and we plan to promote it heavily next year”

Ultimate started in New Jersey in 1968 and according to the Ultimate website (www.upa.org) over 800,000 people claim that they play it at least 25 times each year.

Newburyport’s club team ended its six-match season this past week at Rupert Nock Middle School.

An Ultimate field is 70 yards by 40 yards with end zones that are 25 yards deep.  There are seven players on each team.  A team gets a point if they catch the Frisbee in the other team’s end zone.  Players cannot run with the Frisbee after they catch it and have a certain period of time to get rid of the Frisbee after they catch it.  A team loses possession if they drop the Frisbee or throw it out of bounds. 

“A game goes to 15 points,” explained Brandon who started playing Ultimate about ten years ago at Hamilton College in New York.  “Usually the more skilled the players are the quicker a game will be.  Some of our games have gone two hours.”

Brandon noted that the traditional sport that many in Ultimate also play is soccer.  The action is nearly nonstop in both sports.

The most intriguing part of this sport is the officiating, or should I say, lack of officiating.  “There is no referee,” said Jen who learned Ultimate at Carleton College in Minnesota.  “The players self-regulate.  It requires players to be honest and respectful and yet still be competitive.” 

The team bought their own shirts and each player decided what number and name would go on the back of the shirt.  Some chose a last name and others went with a nickname.  One of the players designed the logo on the front of the shirt.

“We have an awesome group of students playing for Newburyport now,” added Jen, an 8th grade Social Studies teacher.  “We hope that more students will join us next spring.”

Red Sox World Series Trophies on Display in Salisbury

(Let it be understood that the above picture did not accompany the story below.  However, being on hand to do the story about the trophy visit for The Town Common I couldn’t resist jumping in for a picture as well.  Hey, any longsuffering Red Sox fan would have done the same thing, wouldn’t they? 

During the last Open House I was part of at Ipswich Middle School in early 2002 I told the parents that I had been teaching for a long time, in fact I had been around to see the Bruins, Celtics, and now the Patriots capture championships.  I asked the parents how much longer I’d have to teach before the same thing would happen to the Red Sox.  Some wanted to know how old I intended to live to!

My father took me to my first Red Sox game in the 1950s.  I recall being in awe of how close the left field wall was.  I remember Ted Williams as someone who refused to wear a tie and had no use for the media.  The only modern athlete I can equate him with is Rasheed Wallace.  No question, though, that Ted was a great hitter but of course despite having him the Red Sox were always also-rans.

I remember getting caught up in the excitement of the 1967 & 1986 Red Sox.  I am glad that Boston management welcomed Billy Buckner back this year on Opening Day.  No one person loses a game or a Series but his error will always flashback in my mind every time a grounder goes through some unfortunate player’s wickets.

In my opinion the greatest Red Sox moment was when they came back in the AL Championship series in 2004 against the Yankees after being down 3-0.  Neither the Yankees or the Red Sox have been the same since it happened.)

(Duford Family poses with Red Sox trophies – (left to right – Jeff, Duffy, Roger, Ron, Jerry, Rudy, Scot)

A veritable sea of red appeared on May 14th at Winner’s Circle in Salisbury for an appealing event organized by the Massachusetts Lottery. Attendees got a chance to see the Boston Red Sox World Series championship trophies from the 2004 and 2007 seasons and get pictures taken with those trophies.

With a line of excited fans within the restaurant and out the back door, it was obvious that the opportunity to see both World Series trophies at one time was very enticing to many in the area.

It has been a while since the Red Sox won the first of those trophies after a four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in October of 2004 but the memory of that event is still fresh in the minds of many.

“The win in 2004 was the best,” said Mary Hargreaves of Salisbury Beach after having her picture taken.  “For all those years people made fun of the team.  When we finally won it I was almost numb.”

George Roux of Salisbury agreed.  “It was ten times better than the 2007 one.  I don’t have one t-shirt that has, ‘2007 World Series Champs,’ on it.  All of them say ‘2004.’

For some on hand at Winner’s Circle, memories of the Red Sox stir emotions.  “I grew up with the Red Sox,” said Pam Henshaw of Amesbury.  “I went to the games as a little girl with my father.  He passed away before they won a World Series.  My mother and I watched games together and she saw both World Series wins.  She passed away in March.”

Plenty of youngsters came by with their parents to get a picture taken standing behind the trophies.  Not everyone was certain that the kids in the audience understood the magnitude of what the Red Sox accomplished.  “I’m not sure that these kids know how hard winning a championship can be,” said Ron Duford, a member of the family that owns Winner’s Circle.

His brother Jerry said that winning the first one in 2004 was crucial.  “The Red Sox have been rolling ever since.  They’re now contenders each year.  I’m optimistic about this year.”

Jerry explained that he and his two brothers grew up in Salisbury and that what is now Winner’s Circle had been their residence from 1955-1973.  “We lived here until 1973 and then converted it into a bring-your-own-beer game room.  Later it was changed into what it is now.”

Jerry added, “We were very fortunate to have the Lottery pick us to show the trophies.  We put our name in to get them but never knew when the trophies would be available.”

Many area Red Sox fans are pleased on May 14th that Winner’s Circle persisted.

Triton Girls Still Undefeated

Triton girls javelin squad

(Byfield) Over at sunny Triton yesterday two of the best girls’ track teams in the Cape Ann League squared off. When it was over undefeated Triton remained that way with a 77-68 victory over visiting Masco.

The Vikings were without their top distance runner (Keely Maguire) who had season-ending knee surgery.  Keely’s absence made things a lot tighter than they would have been.

Triton used its depth in other events to carry the day.  The javelin was a prime example of the team’s depth.  (Pictured above left to right: Jenna Norton,Michelle Bashaw,Rachel Bourque,Marissa Crowley)

The Vikings collected all the points in the javelin.  Rachel was the winner with a toss of 118′ 11″.  Michelle was second and Marissa was third.

Rachel’s winning distance is significant because it qualifies her for the Nationals in North Carolina in June.  Michelle will also be in the Nationals because she reached the magic 118′ mark earlier in the season.  Michelle’s mother told me that qualifying two kids is quite an accomplishment since most of the other qualifiers are from prep schools.

Triton’s final meet is next Tuesday at home with Pentucket.  Later this month is the Cape Ann League meet followed by the state meet.  How far can this team go??

IHS Coach Makes Sacrifice

IHS coach Doug WoodworthWhat is sacrificial love? 

Isn’t it giving up something you enjoy because your enjoyment is interfering with something more important?

Doug Woodworth decided to step away from coaching boys’ basketball at Ipswich High School.

No, this wasn’t some sort of leave-of-absence.  The 14-year coach knew that his decision might end forever his chances of standing courtside at the Ipswich Tiger Den or in other Cape Ann League locations.

So why make such a decision?

Simply explained, it was a family decision.  But what makes this “family” decision different is that the other members of Doug’s family (wife Maureen, daughter Jena, son Justin) weren’t pushing him to give up coaching.  Doug alone felt that he couldn’t wait any longer.

“I decided, after thinking about it for some time, that if I wasn’t coaching basketball I could do a better job of supporting Justin (junior at Salve Regina in Newport, Rhode Island) and Jena (sophomore at Ipswich High School) at their games,” explained Doug.

As it turned out, Justin’s games last season, played all over New England, were logistically the easiest for Doug and his wife to attend.  Why?  In the Cape Ann League, the girls play a school at one location while the boys play the same school at the other location at the same time.  “I hardly ever saw Jena play at all,” he recalled.

That changes in 2008-09.  “I have teased her coaches by telling them that I’ll be sitting behind the bench yelling for them to put my kid in,” he said with a smile.

The time commitments deleted by getting away from coaching basketball are significant.  “It can be a twelve month job,” he explained.  “You have to see kids play and support them and check out their development.  Some kids play AAU during the year and there are also leagues that run in the summer.”

No doubt giving up basketball will put in place a lot of winter downtime.  “I’ve never had a need to find things to do in the winter for the last fourteen years,” he added.  “Maybe now I’ll get to some of the showcase games in the area.”

There are no maybe’s in Doug’s mind regarding who his successor should be. “My assistant coach (Alan LaRoche) would do a great job.  I told him early on that I was planning to resign so I got him more involved in running this year’s team.  No question, he would be a good choice.”

Returning to coaching basketball after Justin and Jena are no longer playing could be the tricky part.  “I make no assumptions that there will be a basketball position for me at Ipswich when I’m ready to return in a year or so,” said Doug.

Would he coach elsewhere if the Ipswich job was filled?  “I thought I’d never say I would because I’m a Tiger from the beginning but it is possible,” added Doug.  “If something opens I’d take a look at it.”

Amesbury AD Elizabeth McAndrews Knows Change

Elizabeth McAndrewsAmesbury Athletic Director Elizabeth McAndrews is no stranger to change. 

In fact, she changed her name. Yes, she used to be Shawn Corkum the outstanding athlete at Triton – CAL Player-of-the-Year in field hockey and basketball during the 1983-84 school year.

“When I got married in 2000 to Patrick McAndrews I decided that since everyone was going to have to learn my new last name I might as well change to my real first name too,” she explained.  “Shawn is my middle name and the name that my family has always called me.  I wanted to switch to something more feminine when I got married.”

The change that Elizabeth is coping with now happens daily at Amesbury High School and involves fluctuating working conditions on one hand and operating a high school athletic program on the other in the midst of four-year construction project. 

Inclement weather forces ten high school teams into one space.  “The only indoor facility available is the middle school gym,” said Elizabeth, “but thankfully Middle School principal Mike Curry has been very helpful.”

The good news is that the athletic facilities should be up and running when the students return in September of this year.

Elizabeth has gone through two years of the construction.  “I knew what I was getting into when I decided to come here from Triton.  We had been through a building project there.”

The Dartmouth graduate was at Triton for nine years including the last four as athletic director.  The athletic director job came with a price.  “The administration said that I couldn’t be athletic director and continue coaching,” said Elizabeth.  “I thought that I could do both but they knew more than I did and they were right.”

She explained that it has been seven years since she coached field hockey or basketball but that there’s plenty of coaching talk at home.  “My husband Patrick is the girl’s basketball coach at Tewksbury so I still get a taste of it.”
 
Elizabeth wanted it known that having Les Murray in place as principal (his 7th year) at Amesbury High School had a lot to do with her choice to come there.  “Les and I go back a long way.  He was my high school basketball coach for several seasons and was an important positive influence in my life.”

“Two years ago Les alerted me to the athletic director opening at Amesbury and encouraged me to apply.  Obviously, he didn’t promise me anything other than an interview. Because I had played basketball for him, I was well aware of his leadership style.  I knew that he would be hands off but available if I needed his advice.  I also knew that he would challenge me to be as good a leader and person as I could be.”

The next major change for Elizabeth McAndrews will be when all of the athletic facilities at Amesbury High School are operational.  That will be certainly be a change for the better.

Tennis Camp Finds Love at Governors’ Academy

Let’s start with the happy endings:

(1) Coach Pete’s Tennis Camp will continue to exist,

(2) The Pentucket school district will have control of its tennis courts in the summer and,

(3) Governors’ Academy will make money renting out its tennis courts during the summer.

Things weren’t so rosy a month ago. “Around the end of March I believed that I wasn’t going to be having a camp,” said Pete Kolifrath, the director of Coach Pete’s Tennis Camp.

For two summers, the 40-year-old tennis pro had used Pentucket’s tennis courts and expected to continue there in 2008.

He submitted his application in September (2007) but didn’t hear back right away. Finally, in late November he got a call from the superintendent’s office explaining that tennis court usage would be discussed at a school committee meeting in January (2008).

The day after the meeting, Kolifrath heard from Pentucket superintendent Paul Livingston.  “He told me that Pentucket was interested in running its own tennis camp on the courts in the summer and asked if I would run it for them.  If not, he wanted the camp hours to be lessened.”  Kolifrath wasn’t interested in either of the options and informed friends of his camp what had happened. 

That led to a letter/email writing campaign in which the superintendent and school committee members heard from about 50 friends of Coach Pete’s Tennis Camp.

The next school committee meeting (February 12th) turned confrontational as thirty friends of the tennis camp were on hand prepared to voice their support for the camp.

“That meeting was disappointing,” said the Merrimac resident.  “They only let a few of us speak and concluded that the decision about the camp was up to Superintendent Livingston.  The superintendent wanted me to pay an extra $12,000 to keep the camp the way we had operated it the previous two summers.”

While Coach Pete began quickly looking around for alternative sites for the camp, letter writers sent their opinions to local papers regarding the camp.  Some supported it while others were glad to see it leaving Pentucket.

Late in March, Coach Pete had one of those days that you never forget. 

First, he was mad after an email from the Pentucket superintendent ended any hope of his tennis camp being at Pentucket. 

Next, he was encouraged after getting an optimistic phone call from Stacey Sartori (mother of a tennis camper) of Amesbury.  “She said that something good would happen because there’s always a silver lining.”

Finally, he was elated when Karen Gold of Governors’ Academy emailed to offer the new courts there for the camp’s use.  “Believe me, I had to read that email twice to make sure my eyes weren’t deceiving me!”

In a week a deal was in place with Governors’ Academy.  “We’re delighted to be there even though it will cost a little bit more,” said Pete. “It’s a much nicer facility. 

The specifics for Coach Pete’s Tennis Camp are at www.communitytennis.org

Amesbury’s Business Manager Plays Hockey

Dave Jack is not only the business manager of the Amesbury school district but he also has quite a hockey background.

“I was born in New Brunswick (He has dual citizenship) and have been playing hockey regularly for 50 years,” said the 53-year-old. 

Dave grew up aspiring to get to the NHL.  He reached the Junior B level in Ontario as a teenager playing first for the Trenton Golden Hawks and then the St. Marys Lincolns.  “The Trenton team folded for financial reasons,” recalled Dave.  “A friend (Bob Dailey – later played 9 years in the NHL) helped me get a tryout.  Just 16, I survived a 100-player tryout for one roster spot and joined St. Marys where I played for three years.”

He reached a crossroad during his 3rd season with St. Marys.  “I was drafted by the Kitchener Rangers,” said Dave.  “They were an A team and the next level up.  However, if I went with them I would lose my amateur status and not be able to play college hockey in the US so I didn’t sign with them.”

Instead, he accepted a full scholarship to Rensselaer (NY).  “The chance to continue playing at a high level for four more years was attractive but more important to me was that my education was guaranteed for four years once I agreed to go there.”

He started out majoring in engineering and later switched to financial management.  He played hockey all four years for the Red Hawks never missing a game and captained the team his senior year.

“I wanted to continue playing after college but there were limited options in the US,” said Dave.  “I hired the same agent Wayne Gretzky had and he got me onto a professional team in Asiago, Italy where I played for a year.”

Dave is a defenseman and grew up in awe of a player six years old than him – Bobby Orr.  “He revolutionized the game with his skating ability,” said Dave. 

Dave wouldn’t go into detail but after checking his RPI stats, I discovered that he was no stranger to the penalty box – 223 penalty minutes in 116 games at RPI.  “In those days you could clear people out from in front of the net,” said Dave with a smile.  “It was a way of doing business – you moved people around.  I suspect that many of the forwards I played against probably didn’t enjoy standing in front of the net if I was nearby.”

He told me that the best player he ever played against was the 1980 Winter Olympics hero Mike Eruzione of BU.  “I played four seasons against him.”

Now in the non-contact phase of his hockey life Dave expects to continue with hockey as long as he’s able.  “Most of the guys in the 40+ league I’m part of in Mancester (NH) have backgrounds similar to mine.  The camaraderie is great and we tell plenty of stories.  Our motto is: the older we get, the better we were.”

Pioneer League: A Hit with Kids and Parents

On Saturday (April 19th), Newburyport’s Pioneer League launches its 50th season.  A ten-member board runs the impressive organization that involves nearly 770 area kids from ages six to fifteen.

“We’ll be ready to go,” said League President Bob Horne.  “The fields were opened to practice on April 8th.”

With numbers second only to the Newburyport school system, this voluntary organization obviously enjoys citywide appeal. 

Ten years ago, there were about 400 players.  What draws kids is the realization that they will see plenty of action (at bat and in the field) if they sign up to play.  The certainty of playing time sits well with most parents too.

“Our goal is to teach kids how to play the game,” said President Horne.  “We want them to learn teamwork and how to get along.  During the regular season the emphasis is not with winning as much as it is on participation and learning the skills of the game.”

Bob Horne’s background would suggest why he’s comfortable with this low-key approach.  “I grew up in Gorham (Maine) which didn’t have much of a little league.  We played what you might call, sandlot ball.  There was only one real field in town. We found other places to play when it was unavailable.  You’d get your friends together and play for hours and have fun.” 

All the participants and all the games make Pioneer Park and its four fields a busy place into August.  The league has worked at being a good neighbor.  “We do our best to clean up and also we’re aware of the traffic issues on that section of Merrimac Street when games are being played,” added Bob.

A revitalization plan is in the works for Pioneer Park. The plan eliminates one of the four fields and adds off-street parking.  “The architectural plans are nearly finished and the cost for this project should be known soon,” said Bob.  “We have a fundraising committee in place.  We are fortunate to have Mike Doyle on our board to head the project. He did a similar one in Springfield ten years ago.”

The project will be done in the off-season.  “In the first phase we’ll take care of drainage issues and build a new clubhouse,” explained Bob.  “In the second phase we’ll relocate the parking and the last part will be adding the fields.” 

Bob Horne works daytime for a distribution arm of International Paper called XPEX.  Over the next 3+ months he’ll have plenty to do in the evenings as well.  He became involved in the Pioneer League 13 years ago when his son Will began playing.  Now Will is a senior umpire.

“Running this league is a 12-month job for the ten-member board,” said Bob. “We have worked well together and I hope that we’ll stay together for a while.”

“To see kids enjoying themselves and being part of respected organization in town is very rewarding.”

For more details on the league, check out their website at www.thenewburyportpioneerleague.com.

Stephen Karp Woos Newburyport

President George Washington visited Newburyport in October of 1789 on a nationwide tour.  The purpose of all the travel? By visiting in person and conversing with the locals, the first president hoped to prevent sectionalism from dividing the new nation.

Stephen Karp 3-13-08Stephen Karp’s appearance in Newburyport at the crowded Rupert Nock Auditorium on March 13 had similar purposes.  He hoped to go from, “Stephen Karp the secretive billionaire who owns most of the waterfront,” to, “Stephen Karp a person who greeted you, answered questions, and gave glimpses of his development plans.”

Did he succeed?  I think so because even in the most dangerous of scenarios (question and answer period) he was able to give responses that seemed to, at least temporarily, satisfy the questioners.

The 600+ folks that showed up pleasantly surprised Newburyport Mayor John Moak.  “This is being well received by the community,” he said while watching Stephen Karp interact with many of us.  “There’s a good mix of people already here.”

The mayor had met with Stephen Karp earlier in the evening.  “I came away with the impressions that he is a good person, with a nice sense of humor, a good sense of family, and incredibly successful in business.”

During his presentation in the auditorium, the soft-spoken, 67-year-old Karp touched on several areas of concern in the region that brought people to the meeting – Waterfront West.

Why is it taking so long (three years) to get the development started?  “We’ve been developing properties for 35 years.  Planning and regulations are the things that take time.”

Are we trying to create another Nantucket (Karp is a major real estate owner there)?  “No, Newburyport is a different market.  Nantucket is seasonal.  We’re not foolish enough to try and force Nantucket on you.”

To the surprise of no one, the visitor from Weston brought up lack of downtown parking.  “You have to address it and it must be done soon.  Things will not work without this issue being taken care of.  We could help and have done so in other places we’ve developed.”

Much of what Stephen Karp had to say was short on specifics and long on optimism.  “We value Newburyport and think that it is a special place.  We believe that we can add to its vitality without taking away anything that is already here.”

Time will tell.  In the meantime, those attending the meeting now know him a lot better and that could ease some of the perils of developing such a significant eight acres of waterfront real estate.

President Washington visited Newburyport and rode off never to return.  That is not the way it will be with Stephen Karp.
