High School Coaches Make the Best of Summer Months

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer School is finally out and students are free for the summer. For athletes who will compete in the fall sports season, summer means long hours of preparation in the hot summer sun running laps around the track, doing drills, hitting the weight room, playing pickup games, etc. Many play on summer league teams or attend sports camps around the area. High school coaches, many of whom are full-time teachers, are free for the summer as well. But for coaches, like their athletes, the summer can be a very busy time of year. While some coaches will spend their time vacationing or catching up on their reading, others will have their hands full with work, and, of course, sports. Chopticons head football coach, Tony Lisanti said his summer will be packed with plenty of football. My staff and I are running the Braves Youth Camp for boys entering 3-8th grade at Chopticon July 16-20th, Lisanti said. Chopticon will also be hosting a football camp in August for 9-12th graders, Lisanti added. While his team is off at football camp at West Chester University in late July, Lisanti will be opening the weight room up Monday through Thursday evenings. So you can see, my summer is pretty full with football, he said. Some coaches dont have the See Coaches page B-2

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer The BayRunners, an eight and under baseball team from the St. Marys Babe Ruth Baseball Cal Ripken Division will compete in the State Tournament this weekend. The tournament begins this Saturday with the BayRunners taking on Montgomery County at noon and Glade Valley (Middletown) at 4 p.m. at Rockburn Branch Park in Elkridge. The BayRunners will play again Sunday against Northeast.

Teams are chosen to advance to the semifinals based on their record in the first three games of competition. Bayrunner manager Bill Wood says its hard to expect what kind of competition they will face, but regardless, his team is ready and excited for the challenge. You go to these state tournaments and no matter what age, you have no idea whos going to be out there. But I think we can be competitive, he said. The BayRunners are a team comprised of 15 players from around the See BayRunners page B-2

Church League Action: Leonardtown Baptist 10, St. Johns Buzzard 5

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Leonardtown Baptist defeated the St. Johns Buzzards 10-5 in SMRP Church League A Division softball action Monday night at Chancellors Run Park. After falling behind 2-0 in the first inning, Leonardtown Baptist piled on four runs in the bottom of the third after scoring one in the second to take a 5-2 lead. The top of Leonardtowns lineup, which includes Jamie Hahn, Jason Tede, Pat Davey and Scott Hrenko all crossed home plate in the third to help take a three-run lead. After scoring two in the top of the first on back-to-back RBI singles to left from Roger Vanderwest and James Vaughn, the Buzzards went scoreless until the fourth. George Sparks and Vaughn each singled to get St. Johns going in the fourth and Rico Thompson drove Sparks home on a single. In the to of the fifth, the Buzzards added two more runs to make it a 6-5 game. Craig Oliver and Grant Johnson started off the inning with base hits and were driven home on consecutive RBI doubles by Billy Watts and Derek Greer. But Leonardtown Baptist pulled away for the win in the bottom of the sixth as they managed to drive in four runs for the win. Following the conclusion of this game, attention turned over to the next field, where Church of Christ was playing against First United Pentecostal. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Church of Christ put together a string of base hits to come back and win the game. After each See Church League page B-2

Sports
BayRunners
Continued from page B- county who represent 10 teams from the minors and rookies. While other teams in the tournament have been playing together all spring, the BayRunners will only have had six practices together going into states. But according to Wood, the main objective of the tournament is to gain experience in tournament-style baseball. This tournament is the type, at this age, just to get these guys experience with tournament type baseball, Wood said. In past years, I think weve had five state champions in five years at different levels. The two teams, three teams, some have won multiple, but the ones that won state championships never won as eight. Its just a chance to get them going, to get them experience. While the BayRunners have several seven-year olds on the team, Wood says the experience in this years tournament will be beneficial for the team in the future. We have a lot of sevens, we have almost half and half, so were also building for next year and everything else. BayRunner players are excited about the opportunity to play for the state title. Its a good chance to do something different and theyre excited about it, Wood said. I think we might get close to winning, added BayRunner Ryan Kennedy. The BayRunners roster includes: Brett Bell, Kyle Benjamin, Hank Bowling, Ryan Goff, Colin Head, Nick Jaffrus, Ryan Kennedy, Zach Perkins, Jake Pilkerton, Cameron Russell, Adam Vendrasco, Alex Vendrasco, Nathan Wimmer, Jake Wood and Nolan Wood. Coaches are Jim Pilkerton and Alex Jaffurs. The finals are scheduled for Tuesday, July 3.

Coaches
Continued from page B- luxury of a two-month summer vacation. Amy Herndon, the head coach of Great Mills girls soccer team, has a full time government job at Pax River. Unfortunately, I dont get much of a break, she said. Still, Herndon has plans for an action-packed summer with plenty of sports involved. Along with working with her Under-11 boys travel soccer team, she will be working on her own soccer skills. My own soccer games and personal training will take priority, as I also will be trying to get in shape before the August tryouts. For Derek Sabedra, a year-round, three-sport coach, the summer is a time filled with plenty of work. Not only does he focus on the upcoming fall season, but he will also be taking courses and attending camps for the teams he coaches in the winter and spring. Sabedra is the Head Coach of the junior varsity football team at Great Mills, is an assistant coach on the varsity girls basketball team at Patuxent High School and is the Head Coach of the tennis team at St. Marys College. For the upcoming football season, Sabedra will be attending football coachs clinics and will take the National Federation of High School coaches course. For basketball, hell attend more coachs camps, work some basketball camps and watch some of his players compete in AAU tournaments. To prepare for the St. Marys tennis season, Sabedra says his plans involve recruiting, recruiting, recruiting and more recruiting. Hell attend tournaments throughout Maryland and Virginia to scout out some talent and hell also take a certification course to become a professional tennis teacher. But obviously, summer time cant be all about work. Glenn Larnerd, Jr., who coaches back-to-back seasons in girl basketball at Chopticon and softball at Leonardtown, uses the summer to kick back a little. I use my summers as a relaxation time, he said. I look forward to spending time with my wife, friends and family. I enjoy playing golf and participating in an adult softball league. Like many other coaches, Larnerd takes time to check up on some of his athletes during the summer. I always try to go watch my Leonardtown softball players participate in Big League softball as well as watching my Chopticon basketball players participating in open gyms, he said. I like for my players to use the summer as a chance to improve their various skills and also get to enjoy their summer off from the academic school year. Many coaches will take advantage of their time off by going on nice vacations. I will likely get some travel in before the season starts, since from August to November, Im committed to daily training, Herndon said. A trip to Florida, maybe California, or a possible Bahamas cruise are the top choices right now.

Church League
Continued from page B- game is played, participants gather in the infield to say a prayer. We say a quick prayer thanking God for bringing us all together and we thank God for looking over us, Vanderwest said. Vanderwest says the league takes pride in its positive attitude. Its a fun league, Vanderwest said. We get out here and play without the beer and without the cussing. Were trying to represent the church, were representing God and were playing with positive attitudes. Although his team lost to Leonardtown Baptist, Vanderwest says his team has a knack for playing its best ball in the end of the season. In fact, St. Johns has played extremely well in the end of the season for the past six years. The Buzzards won last years SMRP Church League A Division Championship, making it their sixth consecutive win. The A Division includes four teams, while the B Division, which plays on Tuesdays and Thursdays, has about 10 teams. The league also features a non-competitive C League, which doesnt keep official records. SMRP Church League operates out of CRRP and has openings in all divisions, from non-competitive C and Youth, to recreational B division, to A division competitive. For more information please call Tyrone Harris (SMRP) at 301-737-5670. The Buzzards would like to thank OUTBACK Steak House and Dr. Christie DDS and Associates for their sponsorships.

In the Knowl
Its All About Green for (Free?) Agent Zero
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Gilbert Arenas says hes going to opt out of his contract after it expires next season and will become a free agent. He told newspapers that his decision was based on family and business concerns, but after reading his blog, Agent Zero: The Blog File on the leagues website, it sounds like the decision has nothing to do with family and everything to do with money, money, money. In the blog, he says that, the NBA allows a 12.5 percent increase on what you make. So for any player who is making the max, all they do is extend. They get the extension and get the 12.5 percent increase on what they already make. If you arent making the max but become worthy of the max (like Arenas did), you have to opt out to get the maximum amount of $$$, he explains. Gilbert will make something like $11 million next year, but if he opts out, hell be starting at $14 or $15 million a year. Its hard for anybody else to understand besides people in the NBA industry, he writes. Its true. I dont really understand all this. All I know is that hes the best player the Wizards have and I just dont want to see him leave. If Arenas becomes a free agent, hell join DeShawn Stevenson, Jarvis Hayes and forward Andray Blatche on Washingtons free agent list. Thats not too promising, considering they have the 16th and 47th pick in todays NBA Draft. Gilbert says he doesnt want to leave Washington. He says his main reasons for opting out are: 1. To get more years and 2. To increase my pay. Thats all fine and dandy, but if the Wizards dont give Arenas the kind of money that he wants, they could lose one of the best players in the NBA. If they lose Arenas, any hopes of an NBA Title in the near future would be flushed down the toilet. We all saw what happened when they didnt have him in the first round of the playoffs against the ClevelandCavaliers. If they can keep him on board (and if hes healthy, of course), I really think they can do some damage. Last year, the Cavaliers beat the Wizards four games to two in the playoffs, but Arenas is a much better player than he was then. Like he says in his blog, hes a max player now. The Wizards needs to realize this and pay up. Gilbert is the core of the team. Hes an All-Star. Hes exciting to watch. He talks a lot of game and he can back it up. Washington needs to build around Arenas, not let him slip away. I also think the Wizards need to keep Antawn Jamison. When Arenas and Caron Butler were out in the playoffs, Jamison played huge. He wanted to win. He led the team in scoring with 32 points per game and also led the team in rebounding. With their 16th and 47th picks in the NBA draft, I think the Wizards need to get a strong big man. Somebody who can clog up the middle and really play some defense down low. I think their lack of presence down low was their biggest flaw this year. Arenas, who probably knows a little bit better than me, wants to see the Wizards draft a pure shooter first. I want an aggressive scorer, he writes in his blog. We dont have a scorer coming off the bench. We dont have somebody who is aggressive whose mindset is shoot-first coming off. We need somebody coming off there so when we put me, Caron and Antawn on the sidelines, we have somebody who can still light it up. If Agent Zero is gone next year, though, its not a bench scorer that theyre going to need, its a starting scorer.

CRITTER CORNER
A Fourth Of July Warning
The Fourth of July holiday can be very difficult for companion animals. With the hustle and bustle of people celebrating, and the loud noise of the fireworks, many animals suffer severe stress and can cause damage and injury by trying to escape the noise. In the process, many terrified pets run away from home and get lost or hit by cars. It is the busiest holiday of the year for animal care and control, as they run numerous calls for injured pets that have gotten loose. To help your pet get through this holiday, you may wish to restrict him to one room of the house (such as a bedroom), give him a tshirt with your smell on it to cuddle up with, put a radio in the room turned to a classical music station with the volume down low, and if you can, hang out with him while you read a book or watch TV. Make sure he has on a collar with I.D. tags in case he should get out of the house. Should the worst happen and your pet does get out of the house, he may run very far and very fast to escape the noise. Contact the Tri-County Animal Shelter to leave a lost report, and visit us, daily if possible, until youve found your pet. While a lost report is helpful, your description of your pet and ours may be very different. You may also wish to contact veterinary offices in your area and leave a lost report with them if possible. Help keep your pet safe and healthy, and at home. Several hours of care on your part will keep your pet safe for a lifetime.

HEALTH ISSUE
Tobacco Users Face Risk Of Oral Cancer Lifestyle changes offer best hope to prevent this deadly disease St. Marys County Health Departments Tobacco Prevention Program, is raising awareness that tobacco use is linked to more than just lung cancer. Tobacco users also run the risk of developing cancer of the mouth, or oral cancer. In fact, according to Maryland cancer data, 90 percent of those diagnosed with mouth cancer use tobacco products. The good news about mouth cancer is that it is highly preventable, said Lana Horton, RN, community health educator at the health department. Tobacco use, alcohol use, and sun exposure are all risk factors for mouth cancer. Eliminating tobacco, moderating alcohol use and adopting healthier sun safety practices, reduce these risk factors and offers the best protection from this deadly disease. Encouraging tobacco users to quit their unhealthy lifestyle is just one of the ideas being promoted locally during Oral Cancer Awareness Week, June 24 30. Health department staff will be talking about the dangers of tobacco use this month at St. Marys River Concert Series at St. Marys College. Quitting tobacco is challenging for most people. Often, it takes several attempts to be successful. The health department is encouraging tobacco users to attend one of its 8 week smoking cessation programs beginning in the fall. These free programs hold classes weekly, providing education, support and resources for participants. Tobacco users who need help with quitting are also encouraged to use Marylands free telephone quit line, 1800 QUIT-NOW to get additional support and resources to kick the habit for good. Helping people to understand that getting treatment early increases the odds of surviving this aggressive cancer, is another important part of our educational program, noted Horton. We want to motivate people to learn their risk factors and to recognize the early symptoms of the disease. Dentists, dental hygienists, and physicians should provide exams for mouth cancer on an annual basis. If you are not sure if you have had an exam for mouth cancer, be sure to ask you health care provider at your next visit. On the other hand, if you have any of the following signs or symptoms for more than two weeks, see your dentist or physician immediately. A white or red patch in the mouth A sore irritation, lump or thickening of the mouth Hoarseness or feeling that something is caught in the throat Difficulty moving the tongue or jaw Numbness of the tongue or other areas of the mouth Swelling of the jaw that causes dentures to fit poorly or become uncomfortable.

Weird Animal Facts!
Over 16, 000 animals inhabit the Aquariums perfectly weird world. With unique adaptations and features, our collection is anything but ordinary. Below you will find a section of some of the weird animals that call the Aquarium home. The tooth fairy would go bankrupt rewarding a shark family! Sand tiger sharks, like many other sharks, have an endless supply of replacement teeth. Whenever they lose one, another simply replaces it. Weird! We might think of it as rude, but for the seven-spot archerfish, spitting while dining is a must. These weird Australian fish can spit a stream of water up to 5 feet to knock down a tasty cricket for their meal. An electric eel can produce enough energy in one jolt of electricity to light up every room in one house! A Pacific octopus is like a living mood ring it changes color to reflect its disposition. When feeling threatened, Australian frilled dragons have a weird way of making themselves look tougher. They open a special skin formation at their neck like a big umbrella. The pharaoh cuttlefish can change its color at will and swim both backwards and forwards. Talk about a gender-bender! Born a female, the California sheephead fish changes to a male after 6-7 years. During the transformation from female to male, the sheepheads solid pink color changes to black with a wide red band spanning the body. The barramundi in Australia do the opposite, changing from male to female during the course of their life. The horseshoe crabs blood is not red like human blood, but bright blue, like Aquarium uniform shirts! Temperature determines the sex of pig-nose turtle hatchings. Cooler temperatures during incubation produce male offspring, while higher temperatures produce female offspring.

Five Cool Travel Web Sites You Need to Know About

After more than 10 years, the Internet has its own brand names for many types of businesses - eBay, Amazon, Yahoo! and Google to name a few. Travel is one of the oldest categories of established businesses on the Internet, yet it also seems to be the one with continuous innovation. Below are five of the coolest travel Web sites you may have never heard of but need to know: Hotwire (www.hotwire. com) - Everyone remembers the ubiquitous ads for Priceline.com that feature Star Treks William Shatner. Hotwire is a slightly different twist on a similar discount model, but the deals can be equally as good. Kayak (www.kayak. com) - If you ever wanted to find the lowest airfare by searching all the airline Web sites at one time, this is a must-know Web site. Kayaks search engine will list and sort flights by price, airline or even the number of stops. Trip Advisor (www. tripadvisor.com) - Thinking about staying at a particular hotel but arent sure about its quality and reputation? Chances are pretty good there is a review or two here. Make sure you read a number of reviews so you get a more accurate assessment. Site59 (www.site59.com) - Ever had an itch to take an impromptu romantic weekend getaway? This site specializes in last minute weekend getaway packages that can include airfare, hotel and car rentals.

With couples getting married later in life, this alternative gift registry gives many couples the ability to do more on their honeymoon than they could otherwise afford, really making it a trip-of-a-lifetime! There are many great travel Web sites out there, but these five should get you started on maximizing the value and experience you receive when you use the Internet to plan your next adventure.
