Knights Work Extra Hard For Win

Damerons Big Hit Lifts Ryken in Eighth
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN Stephanie Dameron, by her own admission as well as her coachs, was not hitting very well coming into St. Marys Rykens WCAC softball doubleheader with Bishop Ireton High School Thursday afternoon. The sophomore pitcher and designated hitter proceeded to do something about it, connecting on a two-run double in the top of the eighth inning to help the Knights earn a 7-4 victory in the first game. Weve been working a lot on hitting See Softball page B-3

Victory Over Braves Follows La Plata Upset
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer GREAT MILLS On the heels of knocking off Southern Maryland Athletic Conference baseball powerhouse La Plata High last Wednesday, Great Mills baseball coach Steve Wolfe was concerned with how his team would respond after such a big win. After the Hornets won their second straight game for the first time this season, beating Chopticon 10-7 Friday afternoon, the coachs questions were answered in full. This is the first time weve put together two good games all year, Wolfe said. Thats something weve had trouble with, winning two games in a row. That two-game winning streak did not come easy for the Hornets. Great Mills (7-9 overall, 6-8 SMAC) fought from two separate deficits during the course of the ball game, taking control with a five-run sixth inning that left Chopticon coach Steve Williams frustrated with the mental state of his ballclub. Weve got a talented team physically, Williams said after three sixth inning errors contributed to the Hornets late run. Mentally is where were weakest. Baseball is such a thinking game, you have to play the game and not the other team. The Braves were playing the game well early on, scoring five runs in their first two turns at the plate, looking as though they would chase Great Mills starting pitcher Will Anderson early. Instead, Anderson only allowed one run in the final four innings of work. Chopticons Chris Bruce reached on an infield single in the top of the sixth, allowing pinch runner Leland Thomas to scoot home for a 6-5 Braves lead. The Hornets came up in the bottom half of the inning and began their rally. Jon Mattingly and Calvin Shurbrooks led off with consecutive singles and Mattingly scored the tying run when the Braves couldnt turn a double play chance. You have to be mentally prepared to field the ball, Williams said of the errors that prompted him to tell his team from the dugout, You let the game beat you guys. If we dont limit the mental mistakes, then we are going to be one and done, Williams added in
Fishing Day Camp Offered Local Youth
The Raiders celebrate their fourth consecutive SMAC championship after a 13-11 victory over Huntingtown Thursday night.
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN It was 46 minutes and five seconds of hard hits, harsh words and plenty of action of both sides. Then the game official called Leonardtown lacrosse coach Matt Chew and Huntingtown coach Rodger Ganley together. After the brief conference, the Raiders were able to withstand a late Hurricane rally and wrap up their fourth straight SMAC title with a 13-11 win Thursday evening. Not only was this the fourth straight conference title for the Raiders, but it also was the teams 95th win all time, and the two seniors that have started since their freshman year, Mike Hebb and Stephen Norris, have yet to lose a game at home in four years. This game was big because we knew they were

Yankees Hold Off Orioles
The Yankees and Orioles battled under the lights at Chancellors Run Regional Park on Friday night. The Orioles scored first as lead off batter Cullen Bonnell started the game with a hit and scored a few batters later. The Yankees answered right back with three runs. Both teams were held down for the next few innings as Yankee pitchers Dane Lemon and Zach Hudgins shut down the Oriole bats, giving up just two runs. Orioles pitcher Jonah Yeh was up to the challenge as he held the Yankees scoreless until the 5th. The Yankees then managed to score five runs in the 5th to take an 8-3 lead. The Orioles battled back in the 6th as they scored three runs off reliever Matt Eastburn. The Yankees brought in Brendon Lessell to try and stop the damage and he recorded the final outs to hold off the Orioles. Final score Yankees 8 Orioles 6.

Mute the Madness

NBA needs to zip the lip and play the game
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer With that glorious ode to our family matriarchs known as Mothers Day coming up this weekend, one of my favorite quotes from my own mother is If you dont have something nice to sayshut up. That is my wish for the National Basketball Association playoffs as the full second round schedule starts this week. So far, the first round of the playoffs has been full of trash talk; 99.9 percent of it unnecessary, maybe 50 percent of it entertaining. The loudest and most consistent yapping came from those local darlings, the Washington Wizards, who are now watching the postseason from the comfort of their couches, courtesy of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wizards guard DeShawn Stevenson was quoted a few weeks ago as calling the phenomenon known as King James as being overrated, to which James responded that if he were to engage in a verbal spat with Stevenson, it would be similar to Rap legend and businessman Jay-Z responding to one-hit wonder Soulja Boy. When the Cavs and Wizards drew each other in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the collective here we go again could be heard from the banks of the Anacostia River to the Rock N Roll hall of fame. Of course you had Stevenson getting front row seats at the MCI Center for Soulja Boy and Wizards big man Brendan Haywood telling James to quit crying and play the game after Haywood committed a hard foul on the Cleveland superstar in Game Five. Unfortunately for Washington, LeBron did play (27 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists) and the Cavs closed out the series, winning Game Six by 17 points. Another long-time offender of the unspoken code of silence is Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Jerry Stackhouse. As the Mavericks (NBA finalists two years ago, but fallen on hard times since) were getting dog-walked by the upstart New Orleans Hornets in Game Two, Stackhouse began talking to Hornets coach Byron Scott, a man who earned three championship rings as Magic Johnsons reliable shooting buddy with the Los Angeles Lakers some 20-plus seasons ago. Scott told Stackhouse that he couldnt trash-talk to him unless he won a championship ring, something Jerry has yet to do in 12 years of NBA experience. Stackhouse responded acidly on a radio show, threatening to kick the NBA Coach of the Years rear end and saying that he himself wouldve won three championships if he was playing on a team with Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy. What Stackhouse fails to forget in his short term memory is that he played with Dirk Nowitzki in 2006 and totally disappeared as the Miami Heat won the final four games of the 06 Finals and the championship without the Mavericks, including Stackhouse, not putting up much of a fight. Of course, the Mavs were summarily dismissed by the Hornets in five games. As long as Ive been watching professional basketball and been involved in sports as a whole, Im fully aware youre going to have some friendly or unfriendly chatter during the course of a game in any sport; its human nature. However, when youre doing more talking then actual playing, thats when the line needs to be drawn in the sand. The NBA is notorious for having more gum-flapping than game, and its one of many reasons the leagues attendance numbers and Nielsen ratings are in decline. The general public surely loves to be excited and entertained by their athletes, but none of these gentlemen playing today have the swagger, the panache, the confidence or the overall aura of bad man like the great Muhammad Ali did in his heyday. Right now, the players and teams who are still in the race for the NBA Championship need to zip their lips, get on the court and play ball. That way our thumbs wouldnt be so sore from hitting the mute button every time a game is on.

to go in the contest, the official had Chew and Ganley meet him at the scorers table. The message was clear: Control your players or they get ejected. Theyre all competitors, Ganley said of both schools. Our guys hadnt been in a tight game like this since we played them here last year. It was going to happen.
Chew would only say that he was not surprised the official called for a conference. After that, the Hurricanes got two quick goals from David Rice and Culver Bradbury to make it somewhat interesting, but the Raiders were able to hold on to the ball for the final minute and the celebration began. This [run] happened

with hard work, it didnt come easy, Hebb said. This is what I wake up for every day, Norris added. Its hard not to compete, its hard not to give your all. Giving their all once again was the high scoring combo of Kenny Aicher and Brian Dallaire. With the game tied at five going into the third period, Aicher and Dallaire displayed their teamwork and high-powered offense, scoring three goals and handing off six assists to put the Raiders ahead for good. The two friends once again were complimentary of each others skills. He always knows how to get open, Aicher said, and Dallaire responded by saying Aicher is a great feeder but were more excited about being part of a winning tradition at Leonardtown High. Its a remarkable feat, Dallaire said of the fourpeat. Its not something a lot of people can say theyve accomplished. The home field advantage has served LHS well, as they have not lost a regular season game at Raider Stadium since April of 2004, and Chew believes there is an advantage in having home field, as the number one-seeded Raiders will have throughout the duration of the 4A-3A East #2 regional playoffs starting this weekend. Absolutely, Chew said

These guys are carrying on a tradition that started before anybody on this team even got here. Even with the conference championship in their pocket once again, the Raiders feel their work is not done yet.
The guys feel if they play Leonardtown lacrosse, they have the potential go far, Chew said. Ganley said the Hurricanes are hitting their stride and look forward to one more shot at the Raiders. Well have a bye in the first round and maybe well be back here for the semi-finals, he said.

Up to the plate came Dameron, who jumped on a pitch and sent it well into right field, allowing Manigault and Leddy to speed home with the winning and insurance runs. Delapaz, who struck out 10 Ireton batters, took care of business in the eighth and Ryken won another close one, which has been their forte
this season. It helps us a lot in proving that we can come back, that we know we can do it, Kriner said of his girls, who have been in nine onerun ball games, including an amazing six 1-0 games in that stretch.

First baseman Matt Jackson came on in relief in the top of the seventh, allowing one run before fanning Daniel Delozier to end Chopticons threat with runners on first and third. Wolfe has preached to his team all year that playing together as a team, especially one that returned only four starters from 2007, was going to be important. He feels the message is getting across at maybe the right time. Im hoping its sink-
ing in with our guys that we can play with anybody in our conference. Wolfe said. I always feel if youre going to peak, peak at the end of the season. The difference is that were playing as a team now, that was something we werent doing earlier this season, said Hornets catcher Alex Mancil, who went 2for-3 at the plate and drove in a run. Were getting ready for the playoffs, and want to come out here and win. Anderson, who gave his catcher credit for hanging in there and playing after injuring himself in the La Plata game (a 2-1 Hornet victory, just the second loss for the Warriors in 2008) says that hitting was an important component in the win not to mention their ears. We listen to our coaches, and we come out and play hard, Anderson said.

The Different Types of Fishing

Fishing is a sport that captivates many people. It provides more than just a chance for a leisurely getaway; fishing is also big business. According to the American Sportfishing Association (ASA), there are 40 million anglers in the United States alone. Fishing enthusiasts and people who fish for a living help to employ the manufacturers of fishing poles, lures, tackle boxes, and all of the other necessities for the sport. It is estimated that $45 billion in retail sales are generated each year from sportfishing. A report by the 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists California as the state with the most recreational anglers ages 16 and up for that year. But all across the country, anglers cast their lines for fun and new fishing recruits sign up every season. There are many different types of fishing, so youre bound to find a method you will enjoy. Heres a look at some of the popular types. Fishing line fishing: This is by far the most popular type of fishing around. Using a rod and line, a fisherman attempts to hook a fish with a hook and bait. Hand fishing: This type of fishing is just what the name implies. A person uses his or her hands to catch a fish, such as in lobster or pearl diving. In some areas of the southern U.S. catfish are caught this way. This type of fishing for catfish is called noodling. Trolling: This is a form of fishing that involves drawing the fishing lure through the water in order to attract fish. This method is often used when fishing for big game fish such as marlin and tuna. Bow/Spear fishing: This is based on a primitive type of fishing where a person stands above the water to shoot or spear a fish. In the past the spears were hand-thrown and the bows hand-powered. Today, automatic spear guns and pneumatic bows help propel the weapon at the target. Dredging: This is a method of attaching a large net or chain mesh behind a boat to scoop up fish. It is commonly used to catch scallops and oysters, and is typically associated with commercial fishing. Fishing can take place on the shore, while standing in the water or aboard a boat. Regardless of the type, the end result is to catch a meal or a trophy fish. Still, most
Fishing is a sport enjoyed by millions of people across the country.
sportfishing enthusiasts simply fish for the thrill, and then throw their catch back.
Bait Fishing vs. Spin Fishing
Sportfishermen typically use two main methods of catching fish when line fishing. Bait fishing involves using live or dead bait, which the fisherman attaches to a hook. Depending upon the fish sought out, the bait will either lie on the hook at the bottom of the water, be jigged to attract the fish, or slowly reeled in to catch a fishs eye. Spin fishing relies on using an artificial lure that will spin under the water attracting fish. The lure is chosen to mimic the natural prey of the species being fished.

Chopticons Dawson Selected As Youth Ambassador

In the summer of 2006 HERO: A UNA-USA Campaign, along with beinggirl.com and CosmoGIRL! Magazine, launched a new student initiative, the HERO Youth Ambassador Program. This program gave 11 teenagers the chance to go to South Africa and Namibia to work in HERO-sponsored schools and see firsthand the effects of the HIV/ AIDS epidemic. While working in HERO schools, the Youth Ambassadors helped make a difference in the lives of many children, teachers and community members by building a kitchen for an in-school feeding program, installing security fencing, digging holes for toilets, installing playground equipment, and spending time teaching classes. Now in its third year, HERO has partnered once again with CosmoGIRL! and beinggirl.com, and selected 24 teens from the United States and Canada to travel to southern Africa as official Youth Ambassadors. The 2008 group includes Ms. Christina Dawson, a senior at Chopticon High School. Dawson, a resident of California, MD, currently works with juvenile offenders at St. Marys Countys Teen Court, serves as a volunteer with St. Marys Hospital, and volunteers with a local English as a Second Language program. She has lived in Malaysia and Alaska, and has traveled to an orphanage in Peru to provide volunteer service. See Dawson page B-7

Nerdy Birdy
By Theresa Morr
Whats the fastest two-legged creature on the planet? Hint: Its a goofy looking critter with a tiny head; bulging eyes bigger than its brains; two sets of eyelids; a scary beak that makes clomp-clomp noises; a long skinny neck; lots of funky feathers; humongous legs with knees that bend forward; and two tootsies on each foot. Give up? This totally weird dude is the ostrich, the worlds largest living bird. Lickety-split. These guys can really hotfoot it along, like 30 to 50 miles per hour in 30-minute stretches. Whew! Just think: If you could saddle up, buckle up, and hold onto Mr. Big Birds neck, you could bounce your way to school and probably get there before the bus does. Anyway, its a pretty cool thought! Adult ostriches are about six to nine feet tall; weigh around 225 to 400 pounds; and can live up to 80 years. They are native to Africa and like hanging out with zebras, antelopes, and gnus because these hoofed animals kick up yummy dinners insects, small snakes, and rodents. But ostriches also eat fruits and seeds. No-fly guys. Do you wonder why ostriches cant fly even though they have wings? Well, they dont have a keel on their breastbone like other birds. A keel is a special structure that anchors the big muscles that move a birds wings when it flies. So, what can ostriches do with their wings? Neat stuff, like using their wings as fans during hot weather and then as blankets when its cold --- they cover their thighs with their wings. Kinda like natures built-in air conditioning and heating system, all in one! Now thats awesome. Think youd like to try a scrambled ostrich egg for breakfast? Theyre huge about six to eight inches long, four to six inches around, and normally weigh three to four pounds each. Thats like eating 13 chicken eggs! You could invite your friends over for breakfast, and then use the eggshell as a water bowl for your pet.
Sudoku
Ostrich tidbits: * Chicks are nearly a foot tall when born. They grow a foot every month until mature in about eight months. * Males have mostly black feathers with white wing tips. Females have grayish brown feathers. * These dudes have a temper, so never get too close to them. Those powerful legs can injure you or even knock a hole in the side of a car. * They dont bury their heads in the sand as is commonly thought. They stretch out their long necks on the ground when resting or when trying to appear smaller to predators. * These birds are found the world over. In many countries, including the United States, they are raised on farms for their meat, beautiful feathers, eggshells, and leather products. Ready for more egg-citing ostrich stuff? Then surf over to www.ostrichmeats.com/pictures.html.
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!

Reptiles As Pets: Facts You Need To Know
Reptiles are one of the fastest-growing categories of pets in the United States. Iguanas in particular have become very popular. The proof is in the numbers that are turned in to animal shelters nationwide. Many people purchase lizards, snakes and turtles, unaware of their special needs and the health risks they pose to humans. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals, so they require very specific temperature and humidity levels. They need a certain amount and quality of light, and they benefit from daily spraying with a plant mister. Water helps to loosen skin about to be shed and to regulate body temperature. Snakes need a fresh standing water container large enough to submerge. Reptiles need an enclosure large enough for them to get exercise (iguanas can grow to six feet in length), and they need a secluded place to hide. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), reptiles naturally carry salmonella in their intestines and can pass it in their feces. Humans can get it when they handle the animal or any item in its cage, and can pass it on to other people they touch if they havent properly washed their hands. Most people have diarrhea, fever and stomach pain that starts one to three days after they get infected, and there have been some fatalities (mostly children). If you already own a reptile, the Tri-County Animal Shelter recommends that you follow these steps to protect yourself and others from salmonella: Wash your hands with soap and running water after touching reptiles or any objects and surfaces that a reptile has touched; DO NOT clean food and water bowls, or any other item from the reptiles cage, in your kitchen sink; If you clean these items in your bathtub, disinfect the tub afterwards with bleach. For additional information on salmonella, log onto the CDC website at www.cdc. gov, click on A-Z Index at the top of the page, click on the letter S, then Salmonella Infection. You may contact the Tri-County Animal Shelter at 1-800-903-1992 or visit our web page at www.charlescounty.org/es/animalcontrol.
