Brett Schmidt led the charge with four goals, while Addison Goodley added three and Zack Angel, Bryant Schmidt, Patrick Brennan and Frank each added two more for the Knights.

Chopticons Gabbee Gibson swings through a pitch in Monday afternoons SMAC softball game at Calvert High School.
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer PRINCE FREDERICK As with any team in any sport that is experiencing a youth movement, you can be sure to find at least one part of their game that needs improvement. For Chopticon softball coach Antone Smith, its quite clear what the Braves primary problem is. You cant score runs if you dont get hits, Smith said after Chopticon was defeated by Calvert High School
Brett Schmidt led the way with four goals as the Knights won their fourth straight game Friday afternoon.
10-0 in a five-inning game Monday afternoon. Thats been my goal, for the girls to make contact and get hits. You cant win ball games if you dont hit. The Braves (1- 6 overall and in SMAC play) avoided a no-hitter when senior catcher Lauren Davis slapped a single down the right field line in the top of the fifth. Other than that, the Braves, who did not have a single scrimmage in preseason practice, are still trying to get used to playing together, which Smith gives them credit for.
The girls work really well together, theyve fought through negativity and they play hard, he says. Aside from Davis, the Braves start several underclassmen in key positions, including sophomore pitcher Holly Ardnt (struck out three batters in five innings work) and junior centerfielder Shaina Milby, who made a running, leaping grab in the bottom of the third that saved more runs from coming across the board.

While the Hornets are starting from the ground up, the Braves are looking to work their way into the conversation along with Leonardtown, Northern and Huntingtown as teams to beat in the conference. Boyle feels this weeks games with those three schools will serve as the big test.

We know that Huntingtown, Leonardtown and Northern are the Big Three in this conference, he said. Well find out where we need to correct some stuff with those games. Boyle also believes that with such a young team comes mistakes, and that has been what he and his staff have been working through during the course of the season. They dont have that lacrosse savvy yet, and thats what were trying to teach them, he explained, pointing to the fact that he has 11 seniors, but they are not, in his words, veteran seniors. One of the few exceptions is Guy, who is off to a hot start this season after scoring 35 goals in 2007 and looks to help the Braves march towards post-season play with not so much as a nod towards the teams perfect start. Im not a big fan of rankings or records at all, Guy said. If we go out and play and play hard and play smart, we can shock some of these teams.

Continued from page B- gave us all those possessionshe was big for us. Without him in there, this wouldve been a closer game, Sothoron said. I just know face-offs are key, Frank said. Evan is a good face off guy, so I know I have to do just as good or even better. Along with Franks mastery on face-offs, All-State goalkeeper Andrew Wascavage, although rarely tested, came up huge with 17 stops, snuffing almost every opportunity the Cardinals had at a goal. Thats why hes one of the best in the state as a pre-season all-state selection, Sothoron said. Frank added that in six years of playing organized lacrosse, Andrew is the best goalie Ive ever played with. Wascavage knew that his offense would need to do the job because of Iretons ability to stay in games, making life difficult for their opponents. [Theyre] the kind of team if you dont put them away early, they can beat you, he said. We need to be ready for every team we play.

taining that stardom. But it is also careless and short sighted to dismiss the concept and exclusively blame her poor judgment. This is a young woman who, from a very early age, was under tremendous pressure to look and act a certain way and to be something that perhaps she never was or wanted to be. While it may be convenient to consider her an extreme case and inapplicable to the little girls we love, Id caution against being so dismissive. While the next Britney Spears may not be currently growing up in St. Marys County, unfortunately there are plenty little girls in our County dealing with a shortage of self-confidence and a frustration with their inability to look like Americas next top model. So what are we as parents left to do? Should we be so restrictive in raising our children that they remain ignorant of PG-13 cover girls until an advanced age of our choice? Most of us would say no. While the presence of positive female role models (mothers, grandmothers, teachers, etc) is a start, I doubt many of us are naive enough to think that generation next of teenage girls wont be influenced in some way by the next version of Spears, Lohan or Hilton. Besides, at some level, it is healthy to want to look good and take care of oneself physically. That concept isnt gender specific. And perhaps this Capital Athletic Conference Quarterfinal action Monday afternoon. No. 3 seed St. Marys now advances to Thursdays semifinal match at No. 2 Salisbury University, who was a 9-0 winner over seventh-seeded Wesley College today as well. The Seahawks swept all three doubles while senior Erin Marzolis (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) 6-2, 2-6, 76 (9-7) win at No. 5 singles notched the match-winning point for St. Marys. After beating VJCs Samm Rasnake, 8-2, last Tuesday, freshman Monica Powell (Rockville, Md./Rockville) suffered a 4-6, 5-7 setback at No. 3 singles. Earning the other point for the Mustangs was Meghan Henszey who
is where athletics can provide a healthy alternative or at least an option for struggling parents. The image of a female athlete is that of a vibrant individual who eats well and is strong, fit and active. Women such as Serena Williams, Mia Hamm, and Candace Parker immediately come to mind. Just up the road in College Park, the Maryland womens basketball team has been on a tremendous run in recent years and is deserving of more of our attention. Closer to home, our young girls would be well served by a trip to a local softball field to see our very own Southern Maryland ladies, doing their thing and getting after it on the sandlot. Beyond the healthy physical image, participants in athletics often find a psychological boon. Athletic competition, even at the most basic level, will force you to deal with defeat (i.e. imperfection), provide the thrill of victory, build self-confidence, and cause you break a sweat and get a little dirt under your nails. We all know how the nursery rhyme goes; Sugar and spice and everything nice, thats what little girls are made of. Sounds like an easy code to crack, right? Hardly. Raising a strong, confident woman is a complex, challenging proposition. It wont be solved in 1000 words by a Joe Average parent writing for his hometown paper or by sports alone. But athletposted a 2-6, 6-1, 6-1 triumph over senior Amanda Collins (Bel Air, Md./C. Milton Wright) at No. 4 singles. Villa Julies season comes to end with a record of 1-14.

Four Seahawk players tallied five or more points in guiding the St. Marys College of Maryland womens lacrosse team to a key Capital Athletic Conference win Saturday afternoon with a 19-12 triumph over No. 16 University of Mary Washington on Senior Day. Prior to the start of the contest, St. Marys lone senior, Elizabeth Northfield (Arnold, Md./Broadneck), was recognized for her efforts on-and-off the field. The 18th-ranked Seahawks (9-4, 5-1 CAC) were led in scoring by junior attacker Emily Norris (Timonium, Md./Dulaney) who notched career-highs of five goals, three assists and eight points. Fellow classmate Allie Zerhusen (Cockeysville, Md./Park) also had a big day with career-bests of five goals
and six points. St. Marys won 21 of 33 draw controls, while edging the Eagles in shots, 33-32. Mary Washington picked up 29 of 49 ground balls. Freshman Ella Schoming (Westminster, Md./North Carroll) recorded nine stops for St. Marys, while junior Helena Polites (Berwyn, Pa.) had six saves in 52:53 minutes of relief action for the Eagles.
Villa Julie College, who was a 19-3 winner over seventhseeded Marymount (Va.) University. The Eagles avenged a 14-4 loss at St. Marys back on March 26 with todays victory. St. Marys (7-7) is eliminated from the 2008 CAC Tournament but still have one game left on its schedule as the Seahawks will take on No. 8 Cabrini College in non-conference action on April 26 in Pennsylvania. Freshmen goalies JJ Strombosky (Westford, Mass./Rivers) and Pat Simpson (Arnold, Md./Broadneck) split time between the pipes and each made four save in their respective half.

Ehrlich predicted another tumultuous year for republicans, mentioning the possibility that the democrats would secure more seats in the house and perhaps even win the presidency, but his message was one of hope for the party at large. There are fine people on the other side of the aisle, he said, but they have different views. One cause for contention this year has been the recent wave of new taxes passed by the General Assembly during the special session held in October, wherein tax increases went into effect for cigarettes and computer services, among other things. The computer services tax may be the dumbest thing Ive ever heard of, exclaimed Ehrlich, admitting See Lincoln/Reagan Dinner page B-5

Andrea Shiell Staff Writer The Crystal Room was buzzing with dignitaries on Thursday night, all congregated to celebrate their party at the annual dinner named af-
ter the GOPs most famous leaders, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan. This years Lincoln/Reagan dinner featured several prominent figures, including congressional candidate Collins Baily, Delegate Anthony ODonnell, County Com-
missioners Lawrence Jarboe and Kenneth Dement, and former Governor Bob Ehrlich. There was an attitude of disappointment in the nations current political climate, as speakers bemoaned the state of affairs both in national
and state politics. When talking about recent events in the Maryland legislative session, ODonnell said, It was the year of bigger, more intrusive government, excessive regulation, and higher taxes. As Ehrlich made his way to the stage, ODonnell cited several of his accomplishments, including his part in the removal of the flat tops neighborhood, his work in funneling money into the countys higher education center, and his work to expand the Thomas Johnson Bridge. He defended Pax River like nobody Ive ever seen, ODonnell said. Ehrlich remained humble that evening, preferring to talk about where we are and where were going. His analysis of the current political climate cited recent Republican mishaps. We made mistakes as a party when in D.C. we had the keys to the car, Ehrlich said, citing scandals that overshadowed what he im-

Flanked by life-size cardboard cut-outs of Ronald Reagan wearing a cowboy hat, and a cartoon-like resemblance of Abraham Lincoln, Mary Baily presented this years award for Republican Woman of the Year to Sally Wood, who claimed that she was not as loyal as I could have been. Later she elaborated that she had been surprised by her honor, explaining, I dont get to go to the meetings as often as Id like to. Still, Wood seemed to welcome the attention. It was just such a surprisethey must think something of me! Doug Ritchie presented the Republican Man of the Year award to Sheriff Timothy Cameron, who accepted his honor with blushing sur-

It was an out-of-body experience, exclaimed Cameron, nodding to Ehrlich and others as he held his certificate, and adding, and if theres one individual that threatens our homeland, I want him in my jail!

There are behind the scenes creative people responsible for the design of the performance, according to Heidrich. These essential people include Terry Robinson who has designed the minimalist set, and David Groupe, the technical director. Tickets for the Three-Notch Theater performances April 17-19 are $15.00.

Pet Insurance
Pets can add so much joy to our lives, and many pet owners cant imagine not having a companion animal as part of their family. Pets are also a responsibility to be taken seriously, and that includes veterinary care. How to pay for that care can cause some serious stress and heartburn, especially in the event of an unexpected and costly emergency. The Tri-County Animal Shelter wants you to plan in advance for how to deal with unpredictable accidents or illness. Pet insurance is available through many different companies. Each plan has its own features, so its up to you to decide which plan best suits your needs. Some plans cover preventative care, such as physicals and vaccinations, as well as emergency care. Other plans may only cover emergency situations, such as accidents or sudden illnesses. Its very important to find out in advance if a plan you are considering covers pre-existing conditions. Just like medical plans for humans, some animal plans do not cover any conditions your pet may have before you purchase the insurance. Its also important to

find out if there are required co-payments when filing a claim, such as 20% of the bill, and whether or not you owe just the co-pay at the time of the visit, or if you must pay the entire bill at the time of visit and submit a claim to be reimbursed later. One of the most important considerations is whether or not your veterinarian participates in the insurance plan you are considering. If not, you may have to change veterinarians. Also consider the possibility that just because your veterinarian participates today doesnt mean that will always be the case. You also need to keep in mind the possibility that the company offering the insurance may go out of business.
Just like your own health insurance, pet insurance can help you to budget and keep costs down for unexpected and expensive medical conditions and treatment. If you decide that purchasing pet insurance isnt a direction that you want to go in, then its very important that you have adequate funds set aside to cover the costs associated with emergency care or surgery for your pet. Most people have an emergency fund for themselves to cover bills if they lose their job or for sudden home repairs. You need to have money set aside in the event that something unfortunate should happen to your four-legged friend. You want the best for your pet, so plan for it.

While housewares and kitchen electronics still dominate wedding registries, todays techsavvy brides-to-be are expanding their gift options and including more big-ticket electronics on registries, too. Perhaps its a trend spurred on by a greater influence from grooms-to-be with the registering process, or a reflection of the times: women
Spring and summer are the perfect seasons for having some family fun. Throw a staple of warm-weather activities getting wet into the mix, and you have the makings of a memorable family moment. Plus, cooling off in the outdoors (rather than becoming a couch potato in
an air-conditioned house) can boost spirits and promote beneficial exercise. There are many family-friendly ways to indulge in some water fun even if you dont have a pool. Water balloons are inexpensive and fun to play with with a water balloon toss. Head to a national park or campsite
and investigate kayaking or rafting activities. Make a day out at the water park slipping and sliding down the maze of slides. Or, spend a night at a local hotel or motel with a pool and get in a day of swimming.
