BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor BELMONT — Matt LeBlanc had to wait a bit longer than expected to earn his 100th career win at the helm of the Belmont baseball team. When the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled last season, LeBlanc had to wait an extra year to pick up his milestone win, but early this sea- son, the Raider coach picked up his 100th win and as the season draws to a close, former mem- bers of the teams he has coached strolled back onto the Belmont High School field on Sunday to honor their coach.

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” John Lubbock, “The Use Of Life”

Summer is here. Well, pretty much. We think the threat of another snowstorm is beyond us. As we write this, the high will be 80, the windows are open, and a warm breeze is hanging about the room with a slight scent of lilac. The trees are a bright green, with the sound of birds singing, the sky is blue and well, the day couldn’t be more perfect. A day like today has us thinking about the sum- mer months ahead, and what they will look like. Cer- tainly, work will remain busy, but the days are longer, affording us more time to do the things we love, and the warmer weather tends to relax us all. We spoke with a few members of our staff who Courtesy shared their favorite things about summer. The list varies, which is a nod to our versatility. Artists of the Month Our Sports Editor is looking forward to a trip to Lakes Region Art Association/Gallery member artists voted by their peers as ‘Artists of the Month’ display a wide variety of mediums.
