VANCOUVER - This was supposed to be for all the Canadian athletes who, at worst, faltered on over-pressurized home soil during the Olympics, or at best, overachieved, and came up just shy of gold. Not that an individual gold medal in Vancouver could erase something like the seismic failure of the men's 1988 Olympic hockey team in Calgary. But finally, and mercifully, it could put an end to the ever-present chatter and questions about the failure for Canada to win gold during an Olympics on its home soil.

When it comes to music, singer/songwriter Mat Kearney was a late bloomer. In high school, Kearney wrote intensely personal essays, poems and spoken word pieces. Literature was Kearney's obsession - until he started borrowing his roommate's guitar and slipping out to the front porch to write music. "Songwriting all of the sudden was this glove that totally fit," he said. "I had a limited musical ability, but my ability to dive in and pour my heart out - no one could stop me from that." Most budding musicians learn to play cover songs first, and then attempt to write their own stuff.

Polly N. Kearney, a retired licensed practical nurse, died Monday of heart and kidney failure at Rose Manor, an Ellicott City assisted-living facility. She was 87. Born and raised in Franklinton, N.C., she moved to Baltimore in 1939 to study nursing at the old Baltimore City Hospitals, now Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. She worked at the hospital from 1940 to 1957, when she went to work at Bon Secours Hospital. She retired in 1982. Miss Kearney lived on Parkton Street in West Baltimore for 30 years before moving to Perry Hall in 1994.

Cardinal Gibbons senior Brendan Tully and his teammates won't soon forget May 19, 2006. That was the day they attended the funeral of former teammate and 2005 graduate Justin Fisher just hours before losing a title game that was dedicated to their friend and mentor, who was killed in a police shooting. "I've kept every newspaper clipping from last season, and the couple of pictures, images and all the words really jump off the page at me and put me right back there," said Tully, the Crusaders' goaltender.
