Raiders Youth Movement Continues

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer Rob Barthelmes smiles when talking about the youth of the Leonardtown ice hockey team. With the talent that lies within that youth, he has good reason to. One thing we really wanted to work on last year was playing together as a team, The Raiders coach said of a 2007-2008 season that found the freshmanheavy team among some of the Maryland Scholastic Hockey League big dogs in the semi-finals of the yearly Chesapeake Cup in Waldorf. We were able to do that. Even with returning players such as the tag-team offensive force of sophomore center Gordy Bonnel and winger Charlie Yates and goaltender Brett Kibler, the Raiders got even younger this year, with just two seniors, defensemen Kyle Wood and Nick Corey. Sidney Morgan and James Pankiewicz are the lone juniors on the squad. The rest of the Leonardtown roster is stocked with fresh-

man and sophomores, which gives Barthelmes a chance to teach the fundamentals
of the game and prepare his players for a lifelong involvement with the game.
Its rare that youre going to get players in this area that will play above Division
II college hockey, he admits. My goal as a coach is to teach the skills of hockey so
that they can go on to college and enjoy the sport the rest of their lives. Two players he doesnt have to teach much are Bonnel and Yates, who use their speed and quickness along with superior stick work to baffle MSHL Southern Division opponents, as perennial powerhouse Thomas Stone got a taste of Friday night. The sophomore sensations accounted for three first period goals as the inexperienced Raiders shocked the Cougars by hopping out to a 3-0 lead. Stone did rally for a 4-3 win, a prime example of Leonardtowns youth, but considering the skill level of Stone, Barthelmes was pleased with the level of play in the regular season opener. With that talent over there, we should have been crushed, he plainly said. Im very happy with how we played. Bonnel meanwhile, a player with unflappable confidence in himself and his team, feels Leonardtown See Ice Hockey page B-2

Bausch Expects Continued Success
Champion Seahawks Relish Pressure

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer ST. MARYS CITY Last year, the St. Marys College mens basketball team was a squad that went through a season of finding themselves as individual players and as a team. As the 2008-09 season tips off tomorrow night at the annual Pride Of Maryland tournament, the Seahawks are the defending Capital Athletic Conference champions and participated in the Division III Sweet 16. With that stunning transition behind him, head coach Chris Harney is pleased with the team he has put together and looks forward to seeing them in action. The challenge is to keep looking above and beyond what we did last season, Harney said of the magical season that saw the Hawks rise from the abyss of the CAC standings to a nationally recognized force in small college basketball. We need to remember where we came from; we were considered one of the bottom teams in the league. Now, weve climbed the mountain and we have to defend it. Defending the mountain falls on the rugged shoulders of senior center Alex Irmer and forward Calvin Wise. Irmer, considered one of the best pivot players in the CAC, comes off a 07-08 season which saw him average 13 points and seven reSee Seahawks page B-3
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer ST. MARYS CITY Its been a long haul for St. Marys College womens basketball coach Barb Bausch. Inheriting a team that fielded seven players for most of 2007-08, Bausch coaxed 18 wins out of the Lady Seahawks last season, and despite losing three players this past season, the coach feels that SMC can still compete with some of the top teams in the Capital Athletic Conference. People know what my expectations are for the program, Bausch said before practice last Thursday night. Everyone is going to have to step and provide more numbers and provide more quickly than last year. Last season saw St. Marys improve tremendously under Bauschs leadership, as the team won the most games in school history and earned a

first-round home game against Salisbury University, a 79-78 loss that left Bausch disappointed but undaunted. That loss left a bad taste in the programs mouth, she admitted. I knew it was going to be hard for us, playing them the third time around. The 2009 Lady Hawks will have a familiar, yet different look to them, starting with the backcourt. Point guard Megan Uglik, who Bausch credited with getting her acclimated to CAC basketball, graduated as the schools all-time assist leader and scored her 1,000th point in January. Also, leading scorer Steph Saint-Aubin, an all-CAC pick in 2008, transferred to an undisclosed college. With that in mind, Bausch will place an emphasis on frontcourt play, which is led by senior forward Allie Scott. Scott averaged 17 points per See Womens Hoops page B-2

Faith, Talent Carries Buck to Scholarship

Ryken Basketball Star Headed to North Carolina A&T
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer Coming from a deeply religious and positive upbringing, it is no surprise that St. Marys Ryken guard R.J. Buck was all smiles and thoughtful as he signed a letter of intent to play basketball at North Carolina A&T State University last Wednesday evening. I saw how the school did a lot for students, in terms of helping them graduate, Buck cited as part of his decision to attend the historically black university in Greensboro, NC. I went there for my official visit, had a great connection with the coach [Jerry Eaves], and I liked how the guys on the team really got along, did everything together and bonded with each other. Buck, a 61 senior with boundless leaping ability and competitive intensity, led the Knights in rebounding last season, a remarkable feat for a guard in a league like the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference, where guards at least four inches taller than Buck are the norm. I anticipate great things from R.J., Knights head Coach Dave Tallman said. He is truly a model student athlete; never once has he gotten into trouble here and hes been our leader since his freshman year. Hes going to be a star, no doubt in my mind. Tallman pointed out that Buck became the third Knight, after West Virginias John Flowers and Navys Greg Brown, to sign on to play NCAA Division I basketball, and feels that Bucks success will carry a long lasting impact on Ryken hoopsters for years to come. R.J. has touched so many people here, his leadership and determination will be remembered for a long time. For R.J.s parents, mother Cece and father Roger, their son becoming the third child in the immediate family to attend college was an affirmation of faith and a source of paternal pride. We are a praying family, Cece Buck explained. Ive always told him to seek Gods faith in what he was shown, and I dont want him to settle. I want R.J. to go See Scholarship page B-3

Seahawks Fall in NCAA First Round

Lynchburg, Va. The historical 2008 campaign of the St. Marys College of Maryland womens soccer team came to an abrupt end Saturday afternoon as the Seahawks suffered a 3-0 setback at the hands of Emory University in the NCAA Division III womens soccer first round hosted by Lynchburg College. Emory (16-3-1) will now face host Lynchburg, a 3-0 winner over Maryville (Tenn.) College in another first round game, in Sundays second round action. The Seahawks close an exciting chapter in SMCM womens soccer history with an overall record of 12-3-3 (6-11 CAC), having won the programs firstever Capital Athletic Conference title and making the schools first trip to the NCAA tournament. Emorys attack struck early as junior midfielder Talia Dweck (Washington, D.C./Wilson) put back the rebound from her own shot that hit off the crossbar at 4:17. Two minutes later, senior midfielder Alexa Wahr (Minnetonka, Minn./Edina) added the Eagles second goal as Wahr converted on a penalty kick for a push inside the box. After those two early goals, both teams played even for the remainder of the contest as Emory held on for a 2-0 halftime advantage and did not find the back of the net until the 90th. With 26 seconds left in regulation, Wahr connected on a pass from senior defender Whitney Briggs (Alpharetta, Ga./Centennial) to make the final, 3-0. Emory fired off 19 shots with eight on goal, while the Seahawks were held to just two. The Eagles also posted an 8-2 margin in corner kicks. Senior goalie Marie Oben (Glenn Dale, Md./St. Marys, Annapolis) finished the afternoon with five stops, while senior Sarah Wilkerson (Durham, N.C./ Riverside) recorded her ninth shutout of the season with no saves made.

McDowell Sets Record in 400 IM in Loss

St. Marys City, Md. Senior captain Brie McDowell (Doylestown, Pa./HatboroHorsham) shaved nearly three seconds off the nine-year old 400 IM school record of 4:41.68 set by Jamie Cheng as McDowell captured the event with an NCAA provisional time of 4:38.74. The St. Marys College of Maryland womens swim team suffered a heartbreaking 111.5-92.5 loss at the hands of Washington (Md.) College Saturday afternoon. The foursome of McDowell, sophomore Sofia Sokolove (Bethesda, Md./BethesdaChevy Chase), junior Rachel Hotchko (Yakima, Wash./ A.C. Davis), and senior Eleanor Koerner (North Potomac, Md./T.S. Wootton) won the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:54.64. McDowell also placed first in the 100 free in 54.27, while junior Dominique Perez (Rockville, Md./Holy Child) took third in 58.37. Hotchko tied for first in the 100 fly with Washingtons junior Kathy Gerhart (Phoenixville, Pa./Phoenixville Area) in 1:00.60, while freshman Christine DiMenna (Baltimore, Md./Notre Dame Prep) was third in 1:03.47. Senior captain Nat Schaefer (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North) took second in the 1000 free in 11:28.30 and Koerner came in second in the 50 free in 25.54, Hotchko was second in the 200 free in 2:03.52. Taking third in the 400 IM was Sokolove as she swam a 4:57.00, while junior Monika Disque (Annapolis, Md./Annapolis) was third in the 100 back in 1:06.18. Schaefer came in third in the 500 free in 5:36.22, while Sokolove placed third in the 100 breast. Perez, sophomore Arielle Webster (Jarrettsville, Md./ North Harford), DiMenna, and Disque finished second in the 200 free relay in 1:46.21. The Seahawks will be back in action Nov. 21 when St. Marys hosts a Capital Athletic Conference tri-meet with Gallaudet University and Marymount (Va.) University at 5 p.m. in the ARC Aquatics Center.

With two explosive players such as Bonnel and Yates, Barthelmes is not worried that teams will concentrate on shutting those two down, as hes expecting the rest of the team to step up and take the pressure off of those two. Our goal is to get everybody to contribute, he said. We have a resilient young team with a lot of creativity, and as you saw tonight, it works. Bonnel agrees that the best is yet to come for Raiders hockey.

Were expecting to have 12 or 13 kids on the team next year, she said.

Leonardtown Title a Perfect Way to Close Fall Sports
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer With the Leonardtown girls soccer teams 3-1 win over Quince Orchard Saturday night at UMBC, the fall sports season came to a successful end for St. Marys County high school athletics, and what an ending it was. Despite the game being delayed nearly an hour by rain and wind (Bowie High Schools boys soccer team claimed the guys Class 4A championship over Linganore High School in the game prior), the Leonardtown faithful showed up in their Blue and White Raider best. Aided by personalized ThunderStix (whoever the genius is who came up with those noisemaking nuisenances should have to live with hearing that sound the rest of their lives just saying) and an infectious spirit that turned what was technically a road game for the Raiders into a home contest. Buoyed by the unwavering support of fellow classmates, teachers, family and friends, the Raiders fought through a scoreless first half before running by the Cougars with three goals in a 20-minute span, which was impressive, but nothing new for this team. Leonardtown had defeated Bowie Highs girls soccer team the previous week by snapping off two goals in a 45-second stretch in the second half. The last three weeks following this Raiders team has been a particularly unique experience because no one on that team yells at each other unless they are celebrating a goal or another victory. Even the teams that do get along do have some degree of snappiness to them, but these Raiders got along so well, it was win over Division II contender Bowie State of the CIAA Nov. 7, CAC teams should be aware that SMC, despite the graduation of guards Tyson Lesesne, Mike Smelkinson and T.J. Jordan, havent lost much. The inside joke among the coaches that is were not rebuilding, were reloading, Harney says with a mischievous grin. The Sweet 16 helped us get our name out there and now we have guys who want to come here. Wise sees his coachs hard work in recruiting new athletes and feels that the team will benefit from the recruiting trail. Im really excited about the new additions, especially Tae, whos going to help out almost confusing. A team is usually an extension of its coach; so clearly, Jennifer Hendersons even-keeled personality has caught on with her teams. Of course, when you go undefeated and win a state championship, theres no reason to be mad with one another. Seems theyve taken SMCPS Superintendent Dr. Michael Martiranos motto of Work hard and be nice to heart, and thats a good thing. If I can stray slightly off topic for a second, as a writer, creativity is part of our profession, and its rare you get to catch the attention of your readers with a lead sentence and/or paragraph that they will remember for a long time. That chance was kind of sort of taken from me in hindsight when the Raiders fought back to tie Huntingtown a few weeks ago. Had they won that game and finished the scheda lot, he said. Tae is Camontae Griffin, a 59 guard who transferred from Division II Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C. last season, and led the Hawks with 25 points in their win over Bowie State. I tore my shoulder up early last season, and got to redshirt. Then my coach got fired, so I called Harney and told him I wanted to come here, the Baltimore native explained. Charged with the task of replacing the scoring output of Lesesne and Smelkinson, who is now a graduate assistant, Griffin feels he can pick up where those two left off. I keep us mellow in the first half, he said. The second half, its their time. In
ule the very same way theyve done after that game, I had my lead raring and ready to go: Unlike the 2007 New England Patriots, 18-0 was not a failure for the Leonardtown high school girls soccer team in 2008. Alas, it wasnt meant to be, but hey, 17-0-1 is nothing to sneeze at, especially when you end it with a state championship. As I said in one of the first editions of From The Sports Desk last spring, St. Marys County public schools (and of course, St. Marys Ryken on the private side) have the potential to be a competitive force in high school athletics, and the other schools here need to look no further than Point Lookout Road for inspiration. With the hard work on and off the field translating to conference, regional and state championships in boys and girls lacrosse, girls soccer, cross country and track and field; it is little wonder Leonardtown has so many banners on the wall of their gym. Every school in this county is capable of matching that success, and when they do, itll be hard for other counties and conferences around the state to wave off the competition SMCPS and Ryken will provide in their respective conferences.
announcer gave credit to Cara McLaughlin for the shot that pushed LHS into the state title game. I personally saw Davi Clark kick the ball that would eventually find its way into the net, so I assumed McLaughlin tipped it. Either way, Davis wonderful mom gave us a ring here at the office and confirmed it was her daughter that scored and now, we respectfully print this correction for kindhearted moms everywhere. Its nice to have a parent call with a pleasant disposition, makes writing corrections a LOT easier. Thank you, Mrs. Clark for helping us out.
Dear Shaq: Sit Down.

In the early to mid-1990s, there was no greater sight than seeing a 71, 295-pound center named Shaquille ONeal dominate opponents for an up and coming Orlando Magic team that appeared to be ready to challenge the Chicago Bulls decade-long dominance. Just about 15 years later, wellthe Magic have a new big man named Dwight Howard and Shaq is playing out the string with the Phoenix Suns. For the readers old enough to remember Willie Mays falling around the outfield in a New York Mets uniform and Joe Namath playing on bad legs for a terrible LA Rams team, maybe you can identify with my pain when I see a Shaq that no longer takes his conditioning seriously and having to resort to playing a role of enforcer as he did in a small fracas that occurred between the Suns
and the Houston Rockets last week. Once a man who let games of 61 points and 23 rebounds do his talking for him, ONeal turned into that obnoxious bar or nightclub bouncer that thinks folks are supposed to bow down just because hes big, shoving Rocket players all over floor, inducing a pretty hilarious flop job by Rockets star Tracy McGrady. I really wish Shaq would go ahead and retire because Id like to remember him as the most dominant big man of a generation instead of a guy whos been made a caricature of his former self. When Gregg Popovich playfully had a San Antonio Spurs player foul ONeal to start a game, it looked like a good natured joke on the surface, after Shaq called the Spurs cowards for using the well-known Hack-a-Shaq strategy in last springs Western Conference first round series. I saw it as the guy who doesnt know people arent laughing with him, but AT him instead. Shaq, for your sake, stop being the butt of a joke, man. Let basketball history write your legacy as the prodigyturned-powerful star you were instead of a guy whos shoving lightweight players around and being fouled for the fun of it.

the first half I keep us even, and the team usually feeds off me. Combining with sophomore guard Alex Franz, who came on strong towards the end of the last season, St. Marys will once again possess one of the more feared backcourts in the CAC. And theres more for a team that
loves to run offensively, what better way to jump-start a fast break than with a half-court trap defense? Were going to be a little more aggressive defensively, Harney said. Trapping turns up the pressure and we have some shot blockers in Mike Bowden and Brian Grashoff who can cover up any mis-
takes the guards make. Mistakes should be far and few in between for Harney and his Hawks, who feel the time is now to make their dreams happen. We want a national championship, Harney said without batting an eye. We want to raise the bar here.

Raiders Retrieve Girls Soccer Crown

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer
Defeats Quince Orchard for Second Title in Three Years

from Jo, the Towson University-bound senior said of the assist from Johanna Rambo, who spun an Orchard defender around before sliding the ball over to Gehrig, who rocketed a shot over the left hand of goalie Amanda Whitney just one minute and four seconds into the half. I couldnt have asked for a better pass. Emily is a very talented player who were going to miss next season, Henderson said proudly. She has been clutch for us in huge games all year long. For Cougars coach Peg Keiller, the disappointment was with the result, not the way her team played. Two years ago, they pushed us up and down the field, Keiller remembered of the two teams prior meeting. This year it was a much better game, a hard fought game by us, but the score didnt work out. Much like the previous weeks semi-final match with Bowie High School, the first goal started a Leonardtown blitz that saw Jessie Schaller knock in a rebound after Gehrig was stopped by Whitney at the 26:42 mark. Just over eight minutes later, the Raiders effectively put the game out of reach when Rachel Lynns shot eluded Whitneys grasp and found its way into the back of the net for a 3-0 lead. True to Leonardtowns team-first approach, Schaller and Lynn are reserves that got their chance to shine on the squads biggest stage this season. I think that speaks to the depth of our team that we had two subs score goals, Henderson said. All that was left was time to run out, and although Dana ONeill did not pick up her 16th shutout of the season (Ele Margalos snuck a shot past the senior goalie with a little over three minutes left in the game), it was still a happy time for ONeill, who will be attending Slippery Rock University next fall. I always want to try and get a shutout, she said with a laugh, but its great that we [the seniors] were able to win two championships in our four years here. For senior defender Alex Evitts, who cracked the starting lineup as the Raiders won their previous state title two years ago, there was no better way to close the book on her high school career. I just think coming in winning and states, then leaving and winning states, Evitts said, I couldnt ask for a better experience.

CATONSVILLE They came, they sawthey raided. Capping an undefeated season in their typically clutch fashion, the Leonardtown girls soccer team scored three second-half goals to upend Quince Orchard 3-1 Saturday night at UMBC, claiming the Class 4A State Championship for the second time in three seasons. Leonardtown also defeated the Cougars 1-0 in 2006 on the very same field as reported on the front page of the inaugural edition of this very newspaper. It was a great game this evening, and Quince Orchard played a great game, said a smiling Jennifer Henderson afterwards. It was a hard fought battle and an all around team effort. Much like 2006s outcome, it was midfielder Emily Gehrig who did in the Cougars with a goal. After a scoreless first half, the Raiders, who finished 2008 17-01, reprised their roles as second half gangbusters, with Gehrig getting the gamewinner quickly. I had a perfect pass

and Evitts are free to move around from player to player. For ONeill, as she said in their 4A East region victory over Arundel, its just up to her to keep her head in the game, which she has shown she doesnt have a problem doing. With the defense keeping the Cougars from really challenging ONeill, the Raiders offense kicked into high gear early in the second half with Emily Gehrigs goal and Leonardtown never looked back. We go into the season knowing each other, knowing our style of play, said Alex Evitts of the process of putting together a top-notch defense. So we just worked it out. And worked over their opponents all year long. nior midfielder Emily Gehrig. A lot of coaches, you see they scream and yell at their players; that doesnt help anyone. She never raises her voice at us, the things she says without being negative really get us pumped up and I think that helps us. Henderson, who won her first title in 1998 in Class 3A, maintains a lowkey and humble demeanor, preferring to give credit to the young ladies on the field and assistant coaches for the longest-running success story in St. Marys County high school sports. I have a lot of personality on this team, they have the hearts of champions, Henderson said of her players. The girls are easy to pump up we had excellent team chemistry this year. In Hendersons eyes, one of the major differences that separated the 2008 Raiders from her previous 14 teams is the teamwork and camaraderie they enjoy. They were hard working from the first day, she said. Some years, there will be drama, but this team had no drama all year long. As Jessica Cooke said after their semi-final win over Bowie High, Its one thing to play on a winning team, but its better to play on a winning team with girls that really like each other.

so successful. A major part of the Raider defenses success is predicated on their ability and willingness to communicate with each other on the field, an essential element needed to keep the pressure off of ONeill. And even if shots are sent her way, they rarely get by her, as evidenced by 15 shutouts in 2008.

St Maries Musica, a high-spirited troupe of vocalists in Southern Maryland, will perform their annual Christmas concerts throughout the month of December. This years program, A Seasonal Greeting, is an exciting blend of traditional carols, inspiring seasonal hymns, and other festive songs. The selections featured this season range from the magnificent O Magnum Mysterium by Morten Lauridsen and Handels And The Glory Of The Lord from The Messiah to traditional Christmas songs such as Carol of the Bells, I Saw Three Ships and Silent Night. If you are looking for a way to escape from the holiday frenzy, plan on attending a St Maries Musica concert and enjoy an evening of fun and good Christmas music. St Maries Musica is fortunate to be directed by Stanley Joey Hoopengardner. He retired from the St. Marys County Public School system where he
taught choral music for thirty-three years. Currently he is Director of Music and Director of the Worship Committee at the Lexington Park United Methodist Church. He has toured and has been a recording artist with several Southern Gospel groups. He is renowned for his work over the past 10 years as the musical director of the St. Marys County Recreation and Parks summer stock productions. He has directed festival choirs ranging from elementary school to senior citizen groups, is widely used as a choral adjudicator throughout the state of Maryland, and he teaches music privately in his studio in Hollywood.

A St. Marys College of Maryland (SMCM) psychology professor known for her groundbreaking research on raising children with developmental disabilities is the recipient of the Arc of the United States 2008 Distinguished Research Award. Dr. Laraine M. Glidden was presented the award during the Arcs National Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Nov. 7. Her research demonstrates that both adoptive and birth families are, by and large, extremely resilient and find great rewards in meeting the challenges of raising children with special needs. This proved to be true for families who had children with Down syndrome and also for those with children with other kinds of developmental disabilities. I have learned a great deal from the families that I have studied, said Glidden. They have taught me the meaning of Winston Churchills distinction between an optimist and a pessimist. My results demonstrate that almost all families find opportunity in difficulty rather than difficulty in opportunity. Mary V. Jordan, president of the Arc of the United States, congratulated Glidden in a letter on receiving the award for contributions through your 20 years of research to bring greater understanding in the area of birth and adoptive families rearing children with developmental disabilities. The award honors an outstanding researcher who has contributed in significant ways to studies that enhance the well being of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Glidden has taught at SMCM since 1976. She has worked in the disability field for more than 40 years, since her graduate school years at the University of Illinois, Urbana. Her research on the positive outcomes for parents raising children with developmental disabilities was funded by the U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development for 20 years. It helped change the thinking of professionals and parents about what it means to have a special-needs child as part of the family. Glidden has held leadership positions nationally and internationally. This year she was invited to address audiences at universities in South Africa, Wales and Australia. She has served as president of the Academy on Mental Retardation and of the Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities Division of the American Psychological Association. Since 1997, she has edited the monograph series, International Review of Research in Mental Retardation (Elsevier/Academic Press). She also writes extensively for other professional journals, and serves on the Advisory Board of the Kennedy Center at Vanderbilt University and is a founding member of the Sibling Research Consortium at Vanderbilt. The Arc, formerly the Association for Retarded Citizens, is the worlds largest community-based organization of and for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It provides an array of services and support for families and individuals. More than 140,000 members are affiliated with the Arc through more than 850 state and local chapters across the nation. The organizations mission is to promote and improve support and services for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

A Seasonal Greeting

However, they provide audiences with a varied listening experience with concerts that include selections from across the centuries, providing something for everyone. Over the years, St Maries Musica
has performed at a variety of locations during Spring and Christmas concert seasons.

Wild,Wacky, & Wonderful
By Theresa Morr
Gobble! Gobble! Gobble! Thanksgiving Day is almost here and that can mean only one thing --- turkey with all the trimmins. These days, most turkeys come to your table via the neighborhood grocery store --- just thaw out the bird; stuff it; pop it into the oven; and enjoy. But it wasnt always that easy. Way back in 1621, the Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated the colonys first successful harvest by feasting on spit-roasted wild turkey, along with other fowl and game hunted from nearby woods (often called The First Thanksgiving). Wild turkeys were abundant then; however, by the 1900s and early 20th century, the birds were nearly wiped out by over-hunting and loss of their woodland habitat. Government stocking and relocation programs were started and when wild turkey populations rebounded, hunting was made legal. Wild turkey traits. Have your ever seen a wild turkey up close? Theyre rather homely critters with small beady eyes and a scrawny, featherless, often bluish head and neck that changes color when the turkey is excited. Now add some yucky looking growths (called caruncles) on their necks, along with a fleshy red wattle under the chin. And theres a funny looking thing called a snod, another fleshy growth atop the bill that hangs down the side of the turkeys face. Yikes! And were not even finished yet. Add two orange to grayish-blue long legs and youve got one weird looking dude. Most of the males body feathers are dark brown to black, but he trots around with extra Hey! Look at me! feathers in bright greens, reds, purples, coppers, bronzes, and iridescent golds, along with fannedout tail feathers and wings dragged along the ground. Its all a big show to attract females whose own feathers are a dull-looking brown and gray. These creatures may not look very bright, but they are cunning with great hearing and eyesight. And they can outsmart most hunters in a beadyeyed blink. Most of the wild turkeys diet is grass, but being omnivores, meaning theyll gobble up just about anything they can get their beaks into --- acorns, nuts, seeds, berries, roots, insects, and sometimes small snakes and frogs. And guess what? Wild tur-
keys can fly; not like your average bird, but close to the ground where they can reach speeds of about 50 miles per hour in flight on short stretches. They can also run about 18 miles per hour. Wild turkey talk. Male turkeys are known for their low-pitched drumming sounds and explosive gobbles, which can be heard a mile away. Both males and females communicate through a variety of sounds: cackles, clucks, cutts, putts, purrs, yelps, whines, and kee-kees. Females lay a clutch of 12 to 15 eggs or so, about an egg a day. After the chicks hatch, mamma turkey feeds them for only a few days, then the little guys are on their own as part of mother and child flocks. Adult males weigh around 11 to 24 pounds, while females are about half that size. In their woodland habitats, wild turkeys have a lifespan of about three to four years. Turkey Trivia: The American Indian name for the wild turkey was firkee. American Indians used feathers to decorate ceremonial clothing; spurs on the legs of toms were used on arrow heads. Male turkeys are toms or gobblers; females are hens; babies are poults. Wild turkeys are native to the Eastern United States and Northern Mexico. The costume of Big Bird on Sesame Street was fashioned out of 4,000 white turkey feathers, which were dyed yellow. Most farm raised turkeys are White Hollands, which do not fly. When you sit down to enjoy your turkey dinner, give thanks, and remember that when it comes to turkeys, looks arent everything.
