Ryken Dominates In Tallmans Debut

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN With 5:15 to go in the third quarter of Monday nights opener for the St. Marys Ryken boys basketball team, firstyear head coach Dave Tallman barked at a passing official after a non-call on Knights forward Melvin Ejim, who was hit on the arm underneath the basket. The official turned around and quickly assessed a technical foul to Tallman, in his first game as head coach. So much for opening game jitters. I dont get nervous usually, Tallman said after Ryken cruised to a 92-58 victory over Cesar Chavez High of Washington, D.C., the season opener for both teams. I was just battling for my players. However, his players, led by sophomore Ejims 19 points and senior point guard Julius Browns 17, stood up for themselves quite nicely. We always want to come out strong, said Brown. We know if we get off to a fast start, its impossible for the other team to come back. Employing a stifling man-toman defense, the Knights forced the Eagles into numerous turnovers and several altered shots, and the resulting fast-break blitz opened up a lead as large 36 with seconds remaining. Thats something we wanted to work on, Tallman said of the See Ryken Basketball page B-2

St. Marys Women Crush Villa Julie

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer ST. MARYS CITY After trailing briefly in the first half, the St. Marys College womens basketball team pulled itself together and cruised to a 72-34 victory over Villa Julie College in their Capital Athletic Conference opener last Wednesday. Megan Uglik led four Seahawks in double figures with 19 points, as the Seahawks ran their record to 4-0 overall, and 1-0 in the CAC. Three players joined Uglik in double figures, including Allie Scott (15 points before fouling out with 8:26 to go in the game), Steph SaintAubin (14 points) and freshman forward Tiara Hurte, who notched a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, her third such game this effort season. First year head coach Barb Bausch was pleased with the effort, crediting a great pre-season camp and the team picking a new system. The girls are doing a nice job of playing together, Bausch said. After Tonia Cristinos threepoint play gave the Mustangs a 3-2 lead three minutes and 16 seconds into the game, the Seahawks went on a 37-9 scoring run to end the first half, led by Scott and Uglik combining for 24 points in the half. It carried over into the second half when Hurte, a freshman from See Womens Hoops page B-2

Braves Look For Fast Start, Consistency This Season

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer Coming off of a 2006-2007 season that netted just three wins, Chopticon boys basketball coach Terry Mumau knows what went wrong last season and what needs to change for the Braves to improve this season. We have to finish games strong, Mumau said. We had a lot of games that we were in last year, had a strong finish at the end of the season and the key for us is can we finish those games this year. Part of the reason for Mumau having a hopeful outlook this year is the overall balance the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference (SMAC) looks to have this coming season. Much like Great Mills coach Frank Peck told the County Times last week, Mumau agrees that parity will rule the conference, and he believes it is the result of one thing - graduation of players. There were a lot of seniors [in the conference] top to bottom, he explained. Teams lost a lot of veterans; a few juniors may have snuck in there, but its going to be very competitive. As to where he believes his Braves will stand when the season ends, Mumau chuckled and said Anywhere. We can finish in top tier, middle tier or bottom tier. Years before, you could look at the conference and say that youre going to struggle, but I cant say that this year. He believes that tightening things up on the defensive end along with timely baskets will help Chopticon improve steadily from last season. He adds that when a team goes on a run against us, how we recover from that is going to be very important. Returning to the floor for the Braves this season is 66 senior Jack Miller, who will replace the departed Ivan Cerkez at the center position this year. Junior Glen Thompson is one of many players returning to the Chopticon boys basketball team this season. See Chopticon Preview page B-3

The Knights got off to a fast start, led by Ejim, a transfer student from Canada playing his first varsity game. The 66 sophomore showed off a vast array of offensive moves, from a powerful inside game to a feathery jump shot from 19 feet away. And yes, a resounding slam-dunk that opened up a 14-4 lead for the Knights early in the first quarter proved that he also possesses great leaping ability. Ejim admitted

to nerves early, but said once the game tips off, it all goes away. We really want this to be a special year. He has a bright future ahead of him. We feel Melvins name wont be hidden for too long, Tallman said. David Brockenberry and Taevaunn Prince added 14 and 10 points each for St. Marys Ryken, who travel to Hammond High School for their next game tomorrow evening.

Along with Miller, Mumau lists his key returning players as Jason Vidlea, junior Glen Thompson, Joel Pease, and senior point guard Gamiel Smith and Billy Smith. These players have all competed in summer league action together and Mumau feels the experience will go a long way towards Chopticon being competitive in the 20072008 season, which kicks off for the Braves at Glen Burnie High School Friday night.

Lesesne Named PrestoSports/Pride of Maryland Player-of-the-Week

Rockville, Md. With his consistent play guiding the St. Marys College of Maryland mens basketball team to a 1-1 week and an overall record of 5-2 early in the season, senior guard Tyson Lesesne (Edgewood, Md./Edgewood) was named the PrestoSports/Pride of Maryland Player-of-the-Week for the week ending December 2. Playing a total of 73 minutes in two games last week, Lesesne led the Seahawks in scoring (22.0 points per game), assists (11), free throw percentage (.857) and three-point field goal percentage (.400). In the 90-79 win over Villa Julie College, he notched a game-high 26 points, dished out a career-best nine assists, Their record is not an indicator of their talent, Seahawks coach Chris Harney said of the Mustangs. Theyre our toughest match-up with their four-guard lineup. The Hawks had their own unsung hero in junior forward Calvin Wise, who contributed 12 points and six rebounds off the bench, not his normal position, but he rolls with the punches. Whatever it takes for us to win, Ill do it, he said. We were able to get off on the good foot and win our opener, which was very important for us. Calvin Wise is without a doubt one of the easiest players to coach Ive ever had, Harney enthused. He always does what I ask of him and hes got the mentality that hell run through you instead of around you. Wise started a 26-5 St. Marys run in the first half with four points and a steal that led to a Lesesne lay-up. During the furious second half, Wise came up with eight more points and several clutch offensive rebounds that kept the Mustangs at bay before Lesesne started a scoring binge that was the difference in the game. Those guys are our horses, they make it easier on us, Lesesne said of Wise and Irmer putting in work down low. Their post game is so good that the guards get open looks at the basket. Lesesne had several open looks, connecting on 11 of his 17 shots, including a driving three-point play with 47 seconds left that gave the Seahawks an 88-79 lead and enough breathing room to continue the teams best start since the 1999-2000 and matched his career-high for the fourth time with a pair of blocks. He also had a season-best eight rebounds and finished the game with an impressive .647 field goal percentage. Lesesne added 18 points and went 4-for-4 at the free throw line in the 93-85 loss at Marymount (Va.) University. For the season, he paces St. Marys with a 19.4 scoring average, a .906 (29-32) free throw percentage and a .452 (19-42) three-point field goal percentage. He is also tied for the team lead with five blocks. This week, the Seahawks visit Salisbury University (2-6, 0-1 CAC) on Wednesday and then play host to defending CAC Champion, Hood College (4-3, 1-1 CAC), on Saturday.

Continued from page B- teams. Junior Center Alex Irmer notched a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds, along with three thundering dunks that ignited the crowd, the first coming on an alley-oop from Lesesne that gave the Hawks their largest lead of the game (39-25) with 4:18 to go in the first half. Irmer then got loose on a fast break in the second half and threw down another rim-rocker that opened the lead up to 76-67 after the Mustangs closed the gap. Im not going to lie, thats what I play for, the Alexandria, Va. native said. It gets our crowd excited, its a morale booster for our team and it deflates the other team a little bit. However, the Mustangs (1-4 overall, 0-1 CAC) refused to quit, led by the backcourt tandem of junior point guard Chaise Lancaster and sophomore shooting guard Greg Woody. The duo combined for 37 points, with Woodys lay-up at the 11:51 mark of the second half giving Villa Julie a 57-56 lead, their last of the game.

season. St. Marys shot a solid 54.4 percent (37-of-68) from the field, while limiting the Mustangs to 28-of-73 (38.4 percent) shooting. Still, Lesesne sees some things that he and his teammates can correct defensively. Our biggest problem is that were trading buckets, he explained. Once we stop the other teams from scoring, we should be real fine. Harney agreed, saying there were times when we looked really bad, but the guys didnt get rattled and we took advantage of our strengths. Thats what championship teams do.

Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving If Youre Over the Limit Youll Be Under Arrest
Leonardtown, Maryland- The holiday season can be one of the deadliest and most dangerous times of the year due to an increase in impaired driving. In December of 2006, 1,076 people were killed in traffic crashes that involved at least one driver or motorcyclists with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. Thats why St. Marys County Highway Safety, including St. Marys County Sheriffs Office, Maryland State Police Leonardtown, Department of Natural Resources Police and DOD Police are joining with National, State and local highway safety officials to remind everyone who will be celebrating during the Holidays that Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving and to never forget to plan a safe way home before the festivities begin. Expect to see more officers on the roadways looking for impaired drivers, during routine patrols, saturation patrols and conducting sobriety checkpoints. Officers will also be continuing their partnership with licensed establishments conducting Cops in Shops, a Century Council program, looking for persons underage attempting to purchase alcohol and adults furnishing alcohol for persons under the age of 21. The consumption of alcohol, drugs and driving just dont mix, said Tim Cameron, Sheriff, and St. Marys County Sheriffs Office. Whether youve had way too many See Drunk Driving page B-5

Library Internet Site Will Host On-Line Survey to Get Public Input on the Maryland Transportation Plan. Director Kathleen Reif announced today that St. Marys County Library has partnered with the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) to help gather public opinions to establish a 20-year vision for the states transportation system. Beginning today through January 6, 2008, the public can give input to MDOT by completing a brief online survey at the librarys webpage, www.stmalib.org. This survey will help MDOT update its long-range transportation plan, the Maryland Transportation Plan (MTP). MTP establishes a 20year vision for transportation in Maryland, helps guides statewide improvements across all means of transportation, and provides policy direction through statewide multimodal goals and objectives. The MTP is updated every five years to address current and future transportation challenges, needs, and conditions. This partnership with St. Marys County Library is a wonderful opportunity to engage people who might not otherwise give us their input on transportation planning, said Secretary Porcari. What we hear from people will help us set the course for future statewide transportation decisions in Maryland. The Library Board and staff recognize how critical it is for our county residents to have convenient and efficient transportation options. We are pleased to be able to provide library resources to help MDOT reach out to our customers and the residents of St. Marys County who rely on Marylands transportation system every day, said Director Reif. MDOT is conducting extensive public outreach to engage citizens, agencies, and interested organizations to help revise the long-range vision, goals, and objectives of the MTP. If you would like more information about the MTP, please contact Ron Spalding by email at mtpupdate2@mdot.state.md.us.

Cant Sleep At Night? Your Pet May Be To Blame!
If you toss and turn at night and can never seem to get a full nights sleep, the reason may be your pet. The Mayo Clinic Sleep Disorders Center in Rochester, Minnesota surveyed 300 people who came to the center for routine consultations. They discovered that more than half of pet owners reported that their pets disrupted their sleep. Of the 300 people surveyed, 157 had pets, and 60% shared their beds with their pets (dogs, cats or both). Cats were more likely than dogs to be allowed in the bedroom and on the bed. Over half of the pet owners recognized that their sleep was disrupted each night by their pets. Of the pets, 21% of the dogs and 7% of cats snored. Pets, like partners, can be a major factor behind sleep disruption. In an earlier study on bed partners, the clinic found that people lose an hour of sleep per night due to a spouse or mate that snores. Pets are another environmental factor, such as sound, temperature, humidity, light, and movement that contribute to sleep disruption. Theories on why people willingly sacrifice sound sleep in order to share their beds with their pet include the fact that people tend to view their pets as children and feel their pets need them, guilt, and the need for a strong emotional bond. Besides, have you tried locking a pet out of a bedroom? They carry on like they wont live to see tomorrow unless theyre with you! Sometimes you get more sleep if you just give in. And dont you just love how if you get out of bed for whatever reason, when you come back, youve lost your spot and either have to wiggle back in between the critters or rearrange bodies so theyre out of the way. The Tri-County Animal Shelter wants you to know that its up to you to establish sleeping and feeding arrangements early in your relationship with your pet, and to stick with your decision. If you do keep your pets out of the bedroom, give them their own bed in another room in the house. Sweet dreams!

Turkey Vultures: Natures Clean-up Crew

By Theresa Morr
Creepy. Really ugly. Weird looking. Thats how you might describe turkey vultures. No wonder. With their bright red bald head resembling a turkey, along with big beady eyes and a scrawny neck, this not-so-pretty bird easily wins the scary prize. But scary looks are what makes these scavengers special. They help the environment and us by gobbling up carrion, the remains of dead and rotting carcasses, which can spread disease to humans and other animals. Maybe youve spotted these black-orbrown-feathered cousins of hawks and eagles feasting on a road kill meal alongside the highway. No bids needed! Turkey vultures are found throughout the country and are specially equipped for their role in nature. With no feathers on their heads or necks, only a bit of soft down, these creatures just dive head first into an animal carcass and yank out a maggot-filled mouthful. And a handy hooked-end beak helps the bird to tear rotting flesh into digestible bite-sized pieces. Yummy! Splats away! Turkey vultures dont like to be disturbed while gorging themselves at mealtime. In fact, wouldbe predators sometimes get a surprise attack an upchucked splat in the face from the vultures foul-smelling regurgitated meal. But thats not a problem for this feisty fowl. If some repulsive stuff clings to the birds head or neck, the sun quickly bakes away those nasty tidbits. No fuss! No muss! Unlike other animals and birds, turkey vultures survive entirely on dead and decaying flesh for survival, and without getting sick. The stomach of this bird is amazing since it can digest those revolting meals in all stages of decay, while cleansing the ecosystem of disease-carrying viruses at the same time. The vultures built-in sterilization system also destroys any virus or bacteria in the food that the bird eats. And guess what? Even its droppings are clean and free of disease! Cool dudes. Turkey vultures dont sweat like you do because their urinary tract helps them to keep cool. A clear, wet substance runs straight out of the bird and down its legs, creating a natural air conditioning system, cooling and sterilizing at the same time. And if any bacteria stick to its legs after a trek through an animal carcass, the vultures powerful urine kills it on the spot! Fantastic flyers. When not devouring the worlds worst food, these wonder birds spend their daytime hours soaring high above the earth. You can identify turkey vultures in the sky because they hold their wings in a distinctive V shape, seldom flapping them as other birds do. With their long broad wings, large, binocular-like beady eyes, and keen senses of sight, smell, and hearing, they can easily spot a meal on the ground and swoop in for fast

Heres How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

food dining. Theyll also invite distant friends to join, but how they communicate with other turkey vultures is a mystery since they can only grunt and hiss. Bathing beauties. Despite their dirty bird image, turkey vultures love to preen and spend several hours a day doing just that. They like to take baths, too, if waters nearby, then after-wards extend their impressive wings out for the sun to dry them. Now you know how these fascinating birds serve humanity. So the next time you see a turkey vulture enjoying its rotting meal, just be thankful Mother Natures neat janitorial service has arrived. And maybe youll even think turkey vultures are not so scary after all. More neat stuff about turkey vultures: Live in hollowed-out tree stumps, rock piles, caves, and on cliff ledges. Raise one brood per year, from up to three eggs laid in cliff hollows, logs, or among rocks on the ground. Both parents incubate the eggs for about 38 to 41 days. Have a wingspan of about 6 feet.
