Ryken Community Excited for Football

Family, Fans and Administrators Show Support for First Varsity Game
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer ANNAPOLIS St. Marys Ryken High School Principal Rick Wood felt Friday nights high school football game between the Knights and Annapolis Area Christian School would be closer than it turned out to be. I thought this was going to be more of a dogfight, Wood said in the closing minutes of Rykens 35-0 win over the Eagles in Annapolis. What youre seeing is a lot of heart from our guys. Theyve worked so hard and waited so long for this. The same can be said for the parents of the players, coaches, staff, administration and students of Ryken, who have seen the team progress through freshman and junior varsity football the previous three seasons before the team made the long-awaited step up to varsity competition this season. Herb Hunter, whose son Turean is a senior wide receiver on the team, felt the Knights will learn and grow together as this first season wears on, especially with more than half of the team comprised of sophomores and juniors. I think they have to work hard together and take their bumps and bruises, he said. Theyre going to have a lot of returning players, so they should grow every year. This is a great move for Ryken. With several people making the trip to Annapolis despite less than stellar weather, head coach Bob Harmon was happy to sing the praises of the administration and the fans who have given him and his players the tools needed to succeed. I love it at Ryken, the fan support has been unreal, the coach said in amazement. They want us to be successful, and they want us to do it right. Wood added proudly, We have a great coaching staff who knows what it takes to be successful and a bunch of hungry students who have been waiting for a long time to play See Ryken Football page B-

Womens Team Withstands Late Coors Light Rally
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN It sure seemed as though sixth-seeded Back Road Inn would cruise into the St. Marys County Womens Softball quarterfinals last Wednesday night. But that was before Coors Light made it interesting by nearly erasing Back Roads 11 run lead during the sixth and seventh innings. But Back Road held on 15-10 to win the first round series two games to zero. We have nothing but respect for Coors Light, said Back Road manager Jeff Gass, referring to the Coors Light rally. They started to hit the ball, and they deserved every run they got against us. Before 11th-seeded Coors needed a rally to throw a scare into Back Road Inn, the game was highlighted by the solid pitching of Wendy GibSee Back Road Inn page B-3

Rixeys 167 yards rushing, the Knights earned their first victory in stunning fashion, dominating Annapolis Area Christian 35-0 Friday night at Annapolis High School. Im as proud as I can be of our kids, said Knights head coach Bob Harmon. This was a historic night and our kids played hard. The Knights were led by the one-two punch of sophomore running back Wood and junior Rixey, who combined for 252 yards of rushing offense and all five of Rykens touchdowns. Winning the coin toss to open the game, Ryken elected to receive the ball, and a short return brought them out to their own 28-yard line. The Knights would carefully and patiently move the ball 72 yards in 14 plays and five minutes and 55 seconds, with Rixeys five-yard toss to Wood accounting for the first touchdown in school history. And that was just the beginning. The Ryken defense withstood a sustained drive by the Eagles (0-1 on the season) when an incomplete pass on fourth down gave the Knights possession at their own 18 with just over two minutes remaining in the first quarter. Rixey, after a seven-yard run, decided to keep an option play for himself and after a solid block from
Most of the game, Rixey had little trouble moving the Knights offense up and down the field. When he wasnt running the ball (he would score the games final touchdown on a 16-yard scamper after bursting through the Eagle line), he was pretty good at passing. He completed a few key passes in clutch situations, including a 22 -yard throw on the run to senior John Sherman after a holding penalty backed the Knights up to a third-and-21 situation on their last scoring drive. Rixey completed five of 10 passes for 82 yards and one touchdown. Meanwhile, Wood carried the ball 13 times for 85 yards and two rushing touchdowns, showing elusiveness and a willingness to run up the middle; the latter Harmon really enjoyed seeing. Marlow is a gutsy kid, a very physical running back who has matured, the coach said with praise. And hes just a sophomore. Im trying to step up and be a leader at a young age, Wood said. It feels good to win this game. Wood and Rixey both gave credit to their offensive linemen, who kept the pressure off of them and the holes open for both to run wild against the overmatched Eagles. I got great blocking from the line all night long, so I have to give thanks to them, Wood said. After the horn sounded and the team shook hands with their opponents, Harmon led them back over to their side where their fans, classmates, professors and administrators were waiting with a standing ovation. After leading a raucous Go Ryken cheer, Harmon addressed his players, congratulating them on their effort and prompting them to enjoy their historic feat that night. He is aware that in an 11-week, 10-game season, they still have nine more games to go before the journey is complete, but it is off to a good start. We have to polish some stuff, we made a few mistakes out there, Harmon said. As I told the kids, if we play hard and do the little things, the wins will take care of themselves.

Harmon greatly appreciated the fact that Wood, school president Mary Joy Hurlburt and all the administrators who have backed football at Ryken are not only concerned with athletics, but still expect the very best out of all kids in academics. The commitment to excellence on both fronts has inspired the coachs mission to help his athletes continue their academic careers after their Ryken days are over. My main focus is to get kids into college, he said. Im not going to measure our success by wins and losses. Aside from the administrative backing, the overall support and encouragement that the entire school community provides will serve to inspire the Knights throughout the season, according to sophomore running back Marlow Wood. That makes us want to work that much harder, said Wood, who ran for two touchdowns and caught another in his varsity debut. When you have people that come out and support you, you want to give them something to cheer for.

A View From The Bleachers

Speak the Presidents EnglishOr Else
By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer Were all familiar with bona-fide occupational qualifications. A specific skills set is required for an engineer at Patuxent River to develop an aircraft specification, a builder to erect the next commercial or residential project in Southern Maryland, the mechanic to keep us all rolling along and the plumber to make sure our undesirables head to all the right places. Similarly, sports, particularly at the highest levels, demand the participant possess confidence, resolve, strength, speed, hand-eye coordination and overall athleticism. In addition to those skills, members of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) will soon need to possess the ability to speak the English language at a passable level. On August 20th, the LPGA informed its members that by the end of 2009, tour players would have to pass an oral English test or face a suspension. The blunt message from the primarily U.S.-based LPGA was: learn our nations most prevalent language or lose your meal ticket, your livelihood. This decision was a shot primarily at Korean players who comprise roughly one-third of LPGA players. The LPGA spun this as an attempt to help members deal with the pressures facing modern athletes and to foster their success on and off the course. To steal a word from a buddy of minePuh-leeze! This is about appeasing corporate sponsors and being friendlier to the English speaking fans of the tour. Okay, I can buy that at some level. The LPGA has a business to run and a product to promote. It would love for the winning golfer each week to give a NASCAR-like victory speech in English. You know what Im talking about. When Jeff Gordon wins a race hes quick to acknowledge that his Dupont, Chevrolet Monte Carlo handled superbly on its Goodyear tires and ran exceptionally well on Sunocos racing fuel. He effortlessly mentions all the sponsors, looks good and speaks the Presidents English all while swigging on a Gatorade and showering his crew with Pepsi. And the corporate heads at NASCAR love it. But the language with which a stock car driver delivers his message is rarely an issue in a national sport like NASCAR. Golf, however, is multinational. While the preponderance of LPGA tournaments are on U.S. soil, there are events in South Africa, Singapore, Canada, Mexico, Japan, France, England and, yes, Korea. So the LPGAs mandate for players to possess some undetermined fluency in English (the LPGA hasnt yet defined whats passable) seems an odd edict for such a global sport. Youd have to have your head in the sand not to realize these arent the best of economic times. So I understand if the LPGA is feeling the pinch from sponsors. The sports calendar is crowded and theres endless competition for the sports consumers diminished disposable income. Hence the heightened sensitivity over how the LPGA is marketing its product. Additional challenges include the imminent retirement of the LPGAs biggest star, Annika Sorenstam, and the next big thing, Michelle Wies greater interest in qualifying for
mens events than promoting the LPGA. But this English policy seems narrow-minded, shortsighted and prejudice. The LPGA needs to determine its identity. Is it a competitive sport or a soulless entertainment organization like professional wrestling? If the former, then give us the best golfers in the world. As a sports fan, I couldnt care less what language a woman speaks as long as she can get up and down from a greenside bunker or drain a 20 foot birdie putt in the clutch. But thats just the view of one apparently inconsequential sports fan: inconsequential because this move was about the advertisers dollar, which indicates how disconnected the LPGA is with its value chain. The corporate sponsors arent the goose that lays the golden egg. The golden goose is the fan base. Sponsors may pay the bills and purses, but they choose to affiliate themselves with the LPGA because it allows business to interface with consumers. Lose the fans and you lose the consumer the corporate sponsors pay to reach. Further, by narrowing your players to those speaking English, you weaken the quality of your product. And bad golf will yield fewer fans. Havent we long since learned that exclusion weakens us? That is a lesson not just of sports but also of society. Americas
strength is, in part, derived from its willingness to throw open its doors to all comers. That philosophy has given us a tremendously diverse source of labor, knowledge and skill. Will the LPGAs language rule improve its product? Not a chance. Will it make the tour more attractive to U.S. firms? Maybe. But it seems illogical for the LPGA to be so U.S.-centric. Wouldnt any such domestic gain be offset by the alienation of international sponsors? Golf is played worldwide. Fans span the globe, and therefore so does the advertising dollar the LPGA so desperately seeks. So instead of forcing English on players from around the world and potentially diluting its product, maybe the LPGA should cough up a nice salary for a smooth talking multi-lingual interpreter to keep those sponsors smiling. Hey, I subscribe to simple solutions to every day problems. After all, we want professional golfers practicing their short games, not their English. Extra Innings: 755, 61, .406, 56, 4,192 and 2,632. What are they? Some of baseballs most hallowed numbers. Unfortunately, the first two have been surpassed, or soiled if you prefer, by one Mr. Barry Bonds. Nevertheless, these are a few of baseballs royal flush of statistics. They are, in order, Hank Aarons ca-
reer homerun record, Roger Maris single season homerun record, Ted Williams batting average in 1941 (he was the last to hit .400 over an entire season), Joe DiMaggios consecutive game hit streak (also from 41), Pete Roses record for career hits and Cal Ripken Jr.s consecutive games played record. Baseball statistics are a wonderful thing. They support legends, spawn stories of greatness, create unforgettable memories and give fans something to track, debate and obsess over. This summer was the 70th anniversary of perhaps the most amazing baseball statistic, or least the most underrated, of all. Over five days in June of 1938, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Vander Meer threw a no-hitter in consecutive starts. To give you some perspective, there have been approximately 250 no-hitters in major league history. Thats less than 2 every summer. Nolan Ryans 7 are the most for any pitcher. But it took him 773 starts. Only 25 pitchers have thrown multiple no-hitters in their careers. But only one has done it in back to back starts. For five days in the summer of 38, Johnny Vander Meer was un-hittable and, to date, peerless. Send comments to rguyjoon@yahoo.com
Back Road Inn

Continued from page B- son, an alert outfield and four base knocks by leadoff hitter Trish Guy. Guys 4-for-5 day at the plate allowed the batters behind her to see better pitches and hit, which is what the line-up did from top to bottom. Guy felt they have to continue to do that, along with putting forward a solid defensive effort, if they are to have a chance against third-seeded Bud Light, their opponents in the next round series that started last night at Chancellors Run Park. We just have to hit against them, she said. Its important that we stay hot and hit the ball. After Coors Light put together a three-run first inning to take a brief lead, Back Road scored 11 runs in their next five turns at bat, led by pitcher Gibson and Amy Bucklers three runs batted in apiece. Down to their last at bat in the sixth, after Back Road sprinted by them, Coors Light proceeded to score four runs in the bottom of the inning, along with three in the bottom of the seventh to make the score closer than Back Road would have liked. We relaxed, started to have fun, said Coors Light left center fielder Chink Cyr. Coors Light was led by first baseman Dana Jeffersons three hits and two RBIs, but their biggest asset was their ability to draw walks. Coors drew five base on balls; prompting Gass to note that

that if theyre going to defeat Bud Light. Gass also had complimentary words for Coors Light, a new team in the league this season. That is a very good group of ladies over there, he said. They really improved as a team during the season. Coors Left fielder Mary Pat Ball, who went 1-for-4 at the plate and drove in a run, said the team looks forward to returning next season to improve even more, as well as compete with the better teams in the league. This is a whole new team, a whole new group of girls, so were just learning to play with each other, she said. Hopefully we can learn some things in the off-season, come back next year and be ready to play.
Tuesday night. Hopefully this game will carry over, because were going up against the big teams now, said SOMDs Glenn Larnerd, Jr. We just have to keep hitting the ball like weve been hitting. Before Thursday nights fireworks display, SOMD Toyota had a hard time stringing runs together they scored just 10 - against Belden in the series opening game Tuesday night, yet they still managed to come away with the win. Thursday night, that wasnt much of a problem. DAntuono, the towering first baseman/outfielder, slugged two home runs in his first two trips to the dish. He would eventually go 5-for-6 with the seven runs batted in, and an RBI single in the seventh that marked the beginning of the final 10-run blow. Not as tall, but just as effective, catcher-turned-relief pitcher Vallandingham clubbed a three-run blast to go along with a two-run double and a two-run single respectively. We hit the ball a lot better tonight, Vallandingham said, echoing Larnerds comment. We didnt do anything different. After a four-run first inning put them ahead for good, SOMD Toyota bookended their rout with 10-run innings in the top of the second and the top of the seventh. Belden pitcher Chris Pulliam, who collected three RBIs in a losing effort, was frank about the offensive barrage that victimized his team. They were a better team than us tonight. It happens, he said. They hit the crap out of the ball, that was the big thing. I dont think anybody

anticipated that kind of explosion, added Belden manager Sam Cooper, who drove in two runs and had a triple for his team. They just kept getting base hits. SOMD Toyota would take their batting show on the road as they began the second round against league powerhouse R&T Trucking, glad to put the opening round and Belden behind them. We were a little more relaxed in this game, because we were up 1-0, Glenn Larnerd, Jr. said. We had fun and we hit the ball hard. It was good to win this
one, especially since weve got R&T next, Vallandingham added. We know theyre going to come out scoring, so we have to keep up with them. Hopefully score more than them. With their season over, Sam Cooper feels that Beldens struggles stemmed from a tough time getting the team together for most games because of conflicting schedules. This hasnt been one of our better seasons, he said. Its tough when youre putting a different lineup out there every night.

St. Marys County Public Schools Seek Assistance With Shoe Fund
The Shoe Fund is a longstanding program that exists through the generosity of St. Marys County Public Schools staff, parents, businesses and the community. This fund provides shoes to school age children in the public schools who are in need of shoes, but who have limited financial resources. Contributions are accepted from business organizations, community clubs, and individuals. Donations can be made directly to the Shoe Fund, which is managed by the Department of Student Services under the direction of a pupil personnel worker (PPW). The PPW facilitates the referral process, recordkeeping, finances, shopping and delivery. The PPW selects, purchases, and delivers the shoes to families. The Shoe Fund is audited by the St. Marys County Public Schools Department of Fiscal Services. Contributions are deposited in the St. Marys County Shoe Fund account with the PNC Bank in Leonardtown. Although the annual budget varies and is dependent upon the contributions received, one hundred percent of contributions received are spent on the purchase of shoes. Requests for shoes are highest in the beginning of the school year, but continue to be requested and purchased throughout the remainder of the year. Normally, shoes are delivered to the home by the PPW who views the home visit as an opportunity to reinforce the importance of school attendance and the students success in school. Providing students with shoes helps build a positive and cooperative relationSee Shoe Fund page B-5

SMECO Holds 70th Annual Meeting

Nearly 2,000 people turned out for the 70th Annual Meeting of Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO), held Wednesday, August 27, 2008. During the event, members voted for SMECO directors and a change to the Cooperatives bylaws. The customer-members queued up in line before the doors opened at 3 p.m., creating a steady stream as they registered to vote until the doors closed at 7 p.m. The Cooperative had 1,000 members register to vote at the meeting, and 300 members voted by absentee mail-in ballot. Incumbents were re-elected for three-year terms to SMECOs Board: Nancy W. Zinn of Calvert County; John H. Bloom of Charles County; Daniel W. Dyer of Prince Georges County; and J. Douglas Frederick and Joseph V. Stone, Jr. of St. Marys County. Changes to Article III, Section 3.06, of the Co-ops bylaws were also accepted. Several SMECO members addressed the directors, staff, and customers in attendance during the open forum. William Brier, Vice President of Policy and Public Affairs at the Edison Electric Institute, was the evenings guest speaker. He described some of the trends in the utility industry affecting energy usage and electric rates. SMECO president and chief executive officer, Austin J. Slater, Jr., also addressed the audience. He acknowledged the significance of the event as SMECOs 70th Annual Members Meeting. A photo printed on the back of the evenings program showed Jimmy Dean and his Texas Wildcats performing for the annual meeting audience in 1956. In his remarks, Slater pointed out that since that time, the use of electric energy has exploded, because each customer uses more than in the past. Slater described how SMECO dedicates 3.5 percent of the Co-ops power portfolio to purchasing renewable energy, with that figure to increase to 20 percent by the year 2022. Slater concluded his remarks by acknowledging some awards the Co-op has recently received, adding, Wherever you find a company that is owned by its customers, youll find a partnership that is dedicated to continually improving its level of customer service. And that results in a higher level of success for the company. The overcast and rainy weather threatened the outdoor meeting, but none of the activities were cancelled. Beneath the large tent behind the seating area, Solar Tech and Continental Services hosted informational displays promoting solar energy and geothermal technology. The local energy assistance agency also had representatives available to provide information to customers in need of financial support. Nearly 100 cusSee SMECO page B-7

Library Services
Continued from page B- institutions. From Sept. 8-19, college students, faculty, and staff can sign up for a county library card at the circulation desk of the SMCM library. Local residents can, in turn, get an SMCM library card at the Lexington Park Library in Lexington Park, Maryland. The campaign is designed to increase student and local resident awareness that each library system has unique, complementary services to offer the others cardholders. The SMCM library is pleased to be able to offer our facility, resources, and services to library users from the local community, said Celia Rabinowitz, Ph.D., director of Library and Media Services for SMCM. We enjoy seeing our local borrowers in the library. Public libraries are one of the most important public institutions a community can have and the Lexington Park Public Library is a great resource. Last year, more than 30 county residents took advantage of the campaign to sign up for a college library card. Local residents with an SMCM library card benefit from the colleges academic collection and in-house access to the librarys databases and computers. Those in need of a computer or library help after public libraries close will find the colleges later hours of operation convenient, closing at 1 a.m. Sunday-Wednesday. The library contains more than 80 research databases, including online newspapers (new and historical), online academic journals, legal resources, and electronic books. The SMCM library also contains some 900 magazines and journals in print and about 5,000 videos and DVDs. Reference librarians are available for research help six days a week. Last year, SMCM students who received their public library cards were able to take advantage of the services the public library offers. A major benefit to the students is having remote access 24/7 to the county librarys free online databases. These databases provide access to newspaper archives and more than 1,900 periodicals cover-
ing a wide range of subjects including foreign language instructions and test preparations. Free downloadable movies, audio books, and e-books and self-paced technology tutorials are available from the librarys homepage, www.stmalib.org. A large collection of best-selling and popular books and a broad selection of current DVDs are maintained at each of the three branches. Cardholders can sign up for NextReads, a free e-newsletter containing a list of recommended titles in 22 genres. This partnership with the St. Marys College Library provides us with the opportunity to introduce their students to the many online and print resources available at their local public library, said Library Board President and SMCM economics professor Alan Dillingham. It is also our hope that this contact will encourage a lifelong habit of using their local public libraries for learning pursuits beyond the classroom and graduation.

The African Elephant
By Theresa Morr
The African elephant is the largest land mammal on earth, and thats about 14,000 pounds of might for an adult male. But its more than just its massive body that makes this beautiful creature a natural wonder in the animal world. For the African elephant, size really does matter, so lets take a look at its most prominent features: Elephant trunks. The elephants trunk, or nose, has an incredible 100,000 or so muscles, far more than you have in your whole body. Besides breathing, smelling, touching, drinking, trumpeting, and grabbing stuff to chow down on, these guys do incredible feats with their strong, sensitive, and flexible trunks. Maybe youve seen elephants on Animal Planet doing heavy duty tasks like lifting and rolling logs, and tearing down big trees. But elephants can gently pick up small things, too, like a twig or even a coin off the ground. One of their favorite things is sucking water into its trunk and then spraying it all over themselves, followed by a nice soothing powdering of dust. Its easy to see why an elephant could not survive without its trunk. How many other things can you think of that an elephant can do with its trunk? Elephant ears. African elephants have enormous ears, each one about six feet wide. The ears are made up of a sheet of cartilage covered over by thin skin. On hot windless days, the elephant flaps it ears like a gigantic fan to regulate its body temperature. The ears are very sensitive and can pick up the slightest sounds around them. Elephants use both high and low frequency sounds when communicating. For other elephants at a distance, low frequency rumbles are used, while high frequency sounds like trumpeting are used to communicate to nearby elephants. Those huge ears are also used as a means of defense. To scare off an aggressor, the elephant spreads its ears wide giving the appearance of a huge frontal attack. Elephant tusks. Tusks are just very long incisor teeth, and they grow continuously about seven inches a year. Only about two-thirds of the tusks are seen as the rest are embedded within the elephants skull. By observing the tusks, the age of an elephant can be determined. And guess what? Just as humans can be left or right-handed, elephants can be left-tusked or right-tusked! Because of constant use, the favored tusk is shorter. In addition to carrying heavy objects on their tusks, elephants also use them for digging, ripping bark off trees, all-around foraging, and as weapons. Can you name some other things that elephants do with their tusks? Elephants in danger. The African elephant is on the threatened species list because their tusks are valuable to poachers who kill the animal and illegally sell their tusks. Despite efforts to eliminate this violence to elephants, poaching remains widespread in some parts of Africa. African elephant tidbits: Eight to 13 feet high at the shoulder. Trunk about eight feet long, base to tip. Tusks about five to eight feet long, each weighing around 50 to 200 pounds. Teeth are worn down and replaced six times. Can move along at about 25 mph on tiptoes. Eats about 300 pounds of roots, fruit, grasses, and bark every day. Females give birth to a single calf every 2 to 4 years. Gestation is 22 months. Life span is about 70 years in the wild. To learn lots more about African elephants, check out this really cool website: http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/Animals/CreatureFeature/African-elephant.
