Ende calls herself Lady Long Rider. Since 2005 she had left hoof- prints on almost 25,000 miles around the U.S., leaving for a new adventure every year or two. That year Ende was traveling with Essie Pearl, a 12-year-old Fjord mare, and Montana Spirit, a 5-year-old Fjord-Percheron mare. She had left her snug Montana cabin in April on an 8,000-mile ride along busy highways, across plains and over mountains, that eventually ended in Wells, Maine, because, she said, she had always wanted to see the Atlantic Ocean. Every place she went she offered informal talks on why she does what she does and setting an example for personal goal-setting, grit and gratitude. That year, New England was the teacher. She enthusiastically remarked that our “colonial” villages, well-tended landscapes and deep history gave her a much better concept of the begin- nings of America - quite different from the experience of living in the West.

D J Snide. PHOTO BY DOUG MACPHEE PHOTO BY DOUG MACPHEE Michael LaBeau of Bellows Falls is hoping to get some kind of chance. LaBeau recently graduated from Castleton State University. He was the Sparatans co ace starter this spring, along with his roommate Devin Hayes. Devin tossed 62 innings this season and LaBeau coun- tered with 60 1/3. LaBeau had more appearances, but, because for the second straight year, the former BF Terrier was moved to the bullpen at seasons end in order to pitch the teams most important innings, he accumulated less innings overall. LaBeau started 8 games and fin- ished the season with a 5-4 record and a low 2.09 ERA. He had six complete games and pitched two shutouts. He walked 20 and struck out 57 and batters hit .242 against him. Unfortunately, both LaBeau and Hayes fell short in their final ap- pearance in the NCAA Tournament. They shared pitching duties in a big loss to Southern Maine and LaBeau would officially get the loss. He entered the contest with the bases loaded and two outs of a 2-2- game in the bottom of the fifth and struck out a batter to keep things even. Southern Maine pushed across the winning run in the bottom of the next frame versus LaBeau and went on to win the game and even- tually advanced to the Northeast Regional Finals, where they were de- feated by Oswego State. This is the second straight year Castleton has won their league tournament (LaBeau was the events Most Valuable Player in 2016) and advance to compete in the NCAA Regional. Regu- lar readers should also remember that LaBeau had a stellar season last summer for the Keene Swampbats. LaBeau has a plan and it doesn’t include sitting around to see if there Girls 4x800 Relay Snide’s 100 is that slim chance his name is called in the draft.

He was also still formulat- PHOTO BY DOUG MACPHEE ing his plan. He had just arrived in Virginia Beach the day before and was being added to the roster of the Virginia Beach Waves. The reason LaBeau had chosen the Virginia Beach Summer League was that it is a summer college league, which allows recently graduated seniors to compete. Opportunities for those in LaBeau’s status are few and far between, so LaBeau had taken this chance when opportunity knocked. Before the Red Sox walked off that evening on Dustin Pedroia’s elev- enth inning single, LaBeau had been offered and chosen another op- portunity. As Pedroia raced to avoid a bath from his teammates, La- Beau was back in his car, driving back to Vermont, where he would have a plane ticket waiting for him to fly to Alaska and be a part of the Alaska League. “I know the competition is at a higher level there and there will be more scouts watching me pitch. Even though i was just starting out in Virginia Beach, I just couldn’t turn down an opportunity which would give me a better chance to end up where I would really like to go,” and of course, that is for an opportunity to pitch in the professional ranks. Professional speaking, very few have had the opportunity to play pro ball from our area. Those that come to mind other than Fisk are Ralph Fletcher, Hal Bushway, Kevin Keefe, Mark Brown, Scott and Bob Morse, Jeff Hubbard and Morgan Brown. The only one of those I Ticino’s Pole Vault remember ever appearing in the big leagues was Brown.
