IMS lax defeats Miss Hall’s 12-5

LAKEVILLE — The Indian Mountain School Falcons hosted Miss Hall’s School Hurricanes for a girls lacrosse game on the new turf field at IMS on Wednesday, April 12. The Falcons soared to victory over the Hurricanes in a 12-5 win.

“We’re excited to be out here on the new field,” said IMS Coach Eliza Statile.

The sun was shining with strong winds and temps in the upper 70s as both teams faced off. IMS got off to a hot start with a quick goal from Rosie Muzaurieta on their first possession. The Hurricanes responded with a goal of their own, but the Falcons quickly piled on four more to climb to an early 5-1 lead.

IMS dominated possession in the first half and dictated the tempo. They passed with efficiency and waited to find their opening through the eye of the Hurricane defense.

Hall’s scored their second goal on a faceoff fast break and then IMS racked up three more to take an 8-2 lead by halftime. Helen Wood was lights out from the inside and secured a hat trick in the first half.

The Hurricanes came back fired up in the second half and looked to lock down the Falcon attackers. Both teams traded a pair of back-and-forth goals in the early part of the period to bring the score to 10-4.

With Hall’s looking to pick up momentum and ignite a run, IMS slowed the pace of the game and ran down the clock. Muzaurieta controlled the ball behind the Hurricane net and tacked on another goal in the process, securing the second hat trick of the game for the Falcons.

Both teams would score again late in the second half to bring the final score to 12-5 in favor of the Falcons. IMS advanced to 3-0 on the season while Miss Hall’s moved to 1-2.

Muzaurieta and Wood both finished with three goals, Emma Ohler scored twice, and Anna Ceola, Ryan Seelenbrandt, Frances Clark, and Anna Lim all scored once for the Falcons.

IMS varsity girls lax will be back on their home field on April 21 when they host Litchfield Hills at 4:30 p.m.

Siglio Press: Uncommon books at the intersection of art and literature

Uncommon books at the intersection of art and literature.

Richard Kraft

Siglio Press is a small, independent publishing house based in Egremont, Massachusetts, known for producing “uncommon books at the intersection of art and literature.” Founded and run by editor and publisher Lisa Pearson, Siglio has, since 2008, designed books that challenge conventions of both form and content.

A visit to Pearson’s airy studio suggests uncommon work, to be sure. Each of four very large tables were covered with what looked to be thousands of miniature squares of inkjet-printed, kaleidoscopically colored pieces of paper. Another table was covered with dozens of book/illustration-size, abstracted images of deer, made up of colored dots. For the enchanted and the mystified, Pearson kindly explained that these pieces were to be collaged together as artworks by the artist Richard Kraft (a frequent contributor to the Siglio Press and Pearson’s husband). The works would be accompanied by writings by two poets, Elizabeth Zuba and Monica Torre, in an as-yet-to-be-named book, inspired by a found copy of a worn French children’s book from the 1930s called “Robin de Bois” (Robin Hood).
