By Jack Healey Rutland native John Cameron whose cousins are Mike Cameron of WSYB radio in Rutland and former MSJ and Fair Haven head football coach Brian Grady, who is now the offensive coordinator at Castleton, was the public address announcer of the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game on Saturday at Dave Wolk Stadium at […]
By Jack Healey Nobody cares about the Shrine game? Tell that to the players, the Shriners and the patients at the Shriner’s hospitals and the just over the estimated 5000 fans on hand at sun drenched Dave Wolk Stadium at Castleton University this past Saturday! The Shrine game is special and it always will be! […]

By Jack Healey Congratulations to the US women’s soccer team. They won and they deserved it. They deserve all the accolades and the parade up “The Canyon of Heroes” is an honor that not everybody gets. I was rooting for them, but I still don’t think they were that likable. If they don’t want to […]
