SMC Soccer Wins Opener, Drops Second Game

College Volleyball Teams Off to a Good Start

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer The men’s soccer team at St. Mary’s College got off to a strong start this season with a 3-0 win over Shenandoah University Saturday, but dropped to 1-1 after a 5-1 loss to Elmhurst College the following afternoon.

The Seahawks looked strong Saturday in the Eighth Annual Elmer Lord Classic at Salisbury University.

Coming off a long and productive preseason, which included games in England and Scotland, St. Mary’s took the field against Shenandoah with confidence.

It didn’t take long for the Seahawks to get on the scoreboard. In the very first minute of the game, senior forward Cyrus Albertson played a ball off a cross-field pass from junior Chris Madrigal, which he quickly controlled and placed carefully in the net.

“That was good because it’s something we’ve worked on in practice, to find that quick hitter,” said Seahawk’s Head Coach Herb Gainey.

With a 1-0 lead, the Seahawks kept pushing the pace of the game, and it paid off 15 minutes later, when senior forward Alex Pyzik was taken down inside the box. The foul led to a Mikael Tigrett penalty kick, which gave SMC a 2-0 lead.

After the halftime break, the Seahawks continued to use their speed to their advantage. Early on in the second half, Albertson netted his second goal and the team’s third after Shenandoah’s keeper fumbled a save right at Albertson’s feet.

The Seahawk’s had a chance to watch the other two team’s in the tournament, Salisbury and Elmhurst, play each other in scoreless tie earlier that day. After watching that game, the Seahawks liked their chances of taking the tournament title.

“Honestly, I felt like we’d win the tournament,” said Gainey. “I think the guys thought that they were going to win the tournament, too. They acted like they didn’t need to play.”

The next day, the Seahawks were back on the field at Salisbury for day two of the tournament.

25 Anniversary of Special Olypmics Maryland Sailing Regatta Celebrated The weather was hot, but the competition proved even hotter at the Special Olympics Maryland 2007 MidSummer Sailing and Kayak Regatta held August 27 & 28th at St. Mary’s College. Special Olympics St. Mary’s County helped organize this year’s event.

This year marked the 25th Anniversary of the Special Olympics Maryland Sailing Regatta and opening ceremonies featured State and local dignitaries to help commemorate the milestone with speeches and proclamations honoring Special Olympics and St. Mary’s College. opponent, the Blue Jays of Elmhurst-despite any signs of fatigue--that took control of the match, taking a 3-0 lead with 15 minutes to go in the first half.

“Elmhurst actually executed our game plan perfectly,” Gainey said. “They methodically built up the game and made them chase us around, and that’s exactly what we wanted to do. They made us tired, opened big gaps and made us bite.”

The Seahawk’s lone goal was scored by Pyzik in the 37th minute, but St. Mary’s was unable to build any kind of momentum in the second half, as Elmhurst notched two more goals, making it a 5-1 final.

“Our defense was a complete debacle,” said Gainey. “We had no communication and we didn’t defuse See SMC Soccer page B-

St. Mary’s (Md.) Women, Coed Sailing Teams Ranked No. 1 in the Country Palm Coast, Fla. – The St. Mary’s College of Maryland sailing squads are starting the 2007-08 campaign on the right ‘wave’ as both the coed and women’s teams top the newest Sailing World College Racing polls released on August 14.

From Sailing World: “St. Mary’s remains atop the coed rankings, but a shuffle in the top half of the board sees Brown, Navy and Stanford making significant jumps. St. Mary’s, Charleston, and Stanford are unchanged as the Top 3 in the women’s rankings.”

The women’s squad has been No. 1 since the March 28th poll, while the coed team has been in the pole position since June 12.

See SMC Sailing page B-

This year’s event included 88 sailors, 42 sailing partners and 78 kayakers from Maryland and Virginia to compete on the waters of the St. Mary’s River.

Special Olympics Maryland offers three levels of sailing: level 1 athletes are the captain of their vessel and control the boat’s sails and course, with a Sailing Partner on board to help in emergency situations. Level 2 sailors work more closely with their Sailing Partners, See Special Olympics page B-

The volleyball team at St. Mary’s College is off to its best start since 1992. At last weekend’s Wingate INNvitational in Virginia Beach, the Seahawk’s went a perfect 4-0 to record their best early season record in 15 years. In the ’92 season, the ‘Hawks went six matches before losing.

According to Seahawks Head Coach Morris Davis, this year’s early success was bound to happen eventually. In the past three years, Davis has put a strong emphasis on recruiting, and this year it seems to be paying off, as the Seahawk’s squad, which has zero seniors, four juniors and the rest underclassmen, is undefeated in four matches.

“This should be a breakout year for us,” said Davis. “We have the right players in the right places and we finally have depth, which is something we haven’t had in the past.”

In previous seasons, Davis had to take the court in practice to fill in spots that were missing on his roster.

Now, the Seahawks have a 12-on-12 squad and Davis no longer needs to suit up.

“This really helps them prepare better,” Davis said. “They’re stepping onto the court with a more competitive edge.”

Eagles Fly Over Knights, 5-1

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Gonzaga just had too many weapons for Ryken to handle Friday afternoon in Leonardtown as the Eagles downed St. Mary’s, 5-1, in Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) boy’s soccer action.

Throughout the first half, the Eagles controlled the pace and had one missed scoring opportunity after another, so when Ryken captain JJ Railey blasted a free kick into the top right corner of the net, Gonzaga’s goalkeeper was caught staring at the sailing ball like a deer in headlights.

Gonzaga, which seemed to have Ryken right where they wanted them all game long, suddenly found themselves down 1-0 in the 37th minute.

That’s when Eagle’s senior Marcus Douglas decided it was time to really step it up. With just seconds remaining in the first half, Gonzaga junior Christopher Perez placed a perfect free kick inside the box, which Douglas went for and headed into the back of the net to tie the score.

“When JJ scored that goal in the 37th minute and we went up onenil, that was exactly the plan,” said Ryken Head Coach Will Lozier.

“Marcus scored a great goal. I think that if we didn’t go into the half tied, it would have been a totally different outcome. We had a collapse in the last minute of the half and that really cost us.”

As the second half opened, the question being asked was whether Douglas’ goal late in the half would shift the momentum to Gonzaga’s side. Eagle junior Kevin Go quickly Photo By Andrew Knowlton answered that question by scoring Ryken junior Steven Beck defends Gonzaga’s Christopher Perez in the Knight’s 5-1 loss.

St. Mary’s College was the training site for Special Olympics St. Mary’s County sailing athletes and volunteers came weekly to work with the sailors, lead by Sailing Coach Brenda Clark. After two days of sailing eight St. Mary’s County athletes and their partners showed how their hard work paid off as they received their medals and ribbons. Partners Tom Bayne and Bryan Jenkins captured third, Russell Bucci and Tom Moulds won second, Wayne Carter and Brenda Clark won second, Austin Debeltz and Dan Combs won third, Joey Owens and Jimmy Yurko won first, Keith Stamp and Tom Tubbs won second, Justin Thompson and Al Nader won third, and Stephen Maras and Tom Maras completed races during the weekend.

Special thanks goes to Mike Ironmonger and the St. Mary’s College boathouse crew for their help in making the 25th Sailing Regatta a spectacular event.

The kayak event, which joined the Regatta in 2002, has doubled the number of entrants in the past two years. This year the kayak competition also added a new event: the 500 meter race, which joined the 125 meter Slalom, 125 meter straight-away and the 250 meter events.

Special Olympics St. Mary’s County kayakers showed the results of their hard work and dedica-

tion after ten weeks of training at Greenwell State Park with Coaches TJ Parkes and Louis Prochazka, Annie Bassford won Bronze in the top division of the 125 meter women’s race and Silver (250m) medals, Debbie Davis brought home Silver (125m) and Gold (250m) and Wanda Morgan received Silver (125m) and placed in the top three in the top division of the women’s slalom, winning a Bronze medal. Kayla Woolridge won Gold (125m) and placed 4th in the State in the Slalom event. Rebecca Elwell placed 4th in both her 125 meter and 250 meter races. Michelle Johnson received a 5th place Ribbon (125) and Karla Kless brought home the Gold in her 125 meter race. The new 500 meter race earned Kelsey Schramm a 4th place ribbon and she placed 2nd overall in the state in the womens’ Slalom event, winning the Silver medal.

In the men’s division St. Mary’s County swept the competition in the Slalom Race with less than a second between the Gold and Silver finishes of Jayme Lorraine and Brandon Thompson. The two also finished with just over a second between their times in the long 500 meter race, with Jayme winning Silver and Brandon taking 3rd in the newest Kayaking event. Jason Wright won Bronze (500m) and was the third fastest in the State in the 250 meter, followed closely by Kyle Russell, who had a 4th place finish (250m) and 4th in the State in the 125 meter event. Michael Anthony earned a 4th place finish (500 m) and 6th place honors (250m).

Despite the lopsided score, Gainey managed to find a few positives in the game.

“All our players played, including all the freshmen, which is good to see,” Gainey said. “Also, the first game was regional, whereas the second game was against a team from Illinois, so it doesn’t really change things in the big picture.”

The Seahawks had another tough game Wednesday as they hosted No. 7 ranked Johns Hopkins University.

On Saturday, the Seahawks play their first Capital Athletic Conference game of the season against Marymount.

In the Knowl Sizing Up Local Football Teams

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer This week marks the start of the 2007 high school football season in St. Mary’s County, and let me tell you, if this season picks up where the 2006 season left off, we

should all be in for quite the thrill ride.

At the end of the 2006 season, Leonardtown won its very last game after losing the first nine. Chopticon had a great run, in which they won about five games in a row.

And Great Mills won their fi-

“They’ve been able to assimilate well with the group and that really adds to our depth,” he said.

Junior outside hitter Kelly Krouse was voted the MVP of the tournament and was selected on the All-Tournament Team for her strong performance. She finished with 28 digs, 18 kills, six aces and five blocks.

In the first day of the tournament, SMC defeated Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU) and Gwynedd-Mercy College by 3-0 counts. They won 30-19, 30-13, 30-16 against ECSU, with Krouse recording 10 kills and three aces. Sophomore outside hitter Sarah Gregorini also had a strong showing, recording 10 digs.

Against Gwynedd-Mercy College, sophomore outside hitter Katie Ewing recorded nine kills and sophomore setter Jenn Feldmann had 13 assists and 10 digs.

Eagles Win Continued from page B- on a corner kick pass from Perez.

From that point on, the Knights could no longer keep up with Gonzaga.

“With a new keeper on the field and a lot of new faces, we needed to absorb the pressure and we tried to slow the game down whenever we could,” said Lozier. “I think we showed our youth and we showed our inexperience today.”

While eight of the 22 players on Ryken’s roster are underclassmen, Gonzaga’s squad is comprised of all juniors and seniors. The Eagle’s, however, played without both of their captains.

“Everyone has to step up a little bit when we don’t have our captains,” said Perez.

“We had a tough game against Ryken last year but we knew our time would come.”

“We are pretty talented from top to bottom,” added Gonzaga Head Coach Scott Waller. “We played our game tonight and adjusted to the field, so we were happy with the outcome.”

With a 2-1 lead early in the second half, the Eagles didn’t slow down. In fact, they recorded three more unanswered goals before the final whistle was blown, to record a 5-1 win and improve to 2-0

on the season. Perez finished with two goals and two assists, while Douglas had two goals as well.

“They’re just so deep,” Lozier said of Gonzaga. “Every player moves off the ball, plays simply and makes two touches.”

Late in the game, as the Eagles forced the Knights into one error after another, Lozier sensed that his team was starting to give up.

“It’s important for these guys never to give up,” he said. “In all my years here, I’ve never coached a team that gave up, even when we were down 8-1 against DeMatha when we were a pour team a few years ago.”

The Knights dropped to 0-2 with the loss. St. John’s handed Ryken their first loss earlier in the week in a 4-2 decision.

According to Lozier, the team has several kinks it needs to work out.

“My job is to remind them to enjoy the game,” he said.

“The only way to enjoy the game is to do things correctly; speak to each other, move without the ball.”

Though the Knights are winless, Lozier has a positive outlook on the season.

“If the JJ’s and the Joe Taylor’s take the younger players under their wing, we’ll be in great shape,” he said.

Unfortunately for the Knights, the road doesn’t get any easier. On Tuesday, they

nal game of the season, ironically, a 45-44 last second victory over the Braves.

Let’s take a look at what we might be able to expect from these three teams in the 2007 season.

After losing the first four games of their season, the

Chopticon Braves bounced back and won the next five in a row. They beat Stone, Northern, Leonardtown, Calvert and La Plata to help bring their record to .500 by the end of the season. At 5-5, Chopticon had the best record of any team in St. Mary’s County. If the Braves can play the way they played during that fivegame undefeated stretch, they could not only be the toughest team to beat in the county, but in the entire Southern Maryland Athletic Conference.

The Braves need to stay healthy and fill in the gaps that last year’s leaders left.

The Great Mills Hornets are coming off a 3-7 season, which was highlighted by that last second win over the Braves, a late-game win over the Raiders and their first win over a Charles County team in 12 years. Though just 3-7, the Hornets were undefeated against their county rivals, the

The Seahawks came away with two more 3-0 wins Saturday, beating DeSales University, 30-16, 30-18, 30-19 and Virginia Wesleyan, 30-28, 30-20, 30-26.

The win over Wesleyan was especially exciting for the Seahawk’s, who had lost to the Marlins the last three times they faced them.

According to Davis, there were several keys to winning this match.

“We had stronger blocking, we played stronger defense and we put the ball back on their side of the net. We forced them to make mistakes,” he said.

Ewing and Feldmann again had strong performances Saturday. Ewing put down eight kills, while Feldmann had 15 assists and 10 digs. Against Wesleyan, Ewing had six kills and Gregorini had six, while Krouse and junior libero Jackie Reid both had 10 digs.

The Seahawks hosted Catholic University Wednesday night in St. Mary’s City with hopes of keeping up their perfect record.

“We really focus on enjoying ourselves in practice every

faced Bishop O’Connell, then played Bishop Ireton Wednesday. To round out the week,

they’ll have games against McDonough on Friday and Archbishop Curley Saturday.

Section B - Braves and the Raiders.

This year, Great Mills has a lot of seniors on the roster, but many of those seniors are playing for the first time. Key individuals include, Charles Tawaih (senior tailback), Christian Rosado (senior quarterback), Nigel Whigan (senior OL), and Keane Flores (senior OL).

A major key to this team’s success is their overall fitness.

With the style of fast-paced offense the Hornets run, they need to be able to outlast their opponents.

According to Head Coach Bill Griffith, the goal in this 2007 season, “is the same as everyone else’s, make it to the playoffs.”

The Leonardtown Raiders have a new face this year.

Not only do they have a new coach, but they have a whole new attitude. The team is working hard to forget about its past seasons and “play the next play,” a motto that first

year coach Anthony Pratley has introduced his team to.

The Raiders have a strong defense and a lot of offensive weapons as well. Some of their key players include Mike Hebb (running back), Mike Copenhaver (running back), Ryan Dishman (DB), TJ Schmidt (DL) and Steven Norris (LB).

The toughest thing for the Raiders this season is going to be learning a whole new system on both offense and defense. If they can do this quickly and keep up the positive attitude, the Raiders should certainly see more success than they have in the past few years.

The goal for Leonardtown this season, according to Pratley, is “to be competitive, to keep every game close and try to pull away in the fourth quarter.”

Let the games begin!

day,” said Davis. “But our goal every match is to get a ‘W’ in the column. St. Mary’s has never been in the conference playoffs. Our goal is to make it into the top tier of the conference for once.”

CSM Goes 4-1 in Central Ohio Tournament The College of Southern Maryland volleyball team had a strong start to its season as well, winning four of their first five matches at the Central Ohio Tournament, where they handed out losses to host team Columbus State (29-31, 30-23, 15-11), Mercyhurst NE of New Jersey (30-17, 30-23), Oakland of Michigan (30-27, 30-22) and Muskegon of Michigan (30-25, 30-23).

The Hawk’s only loss came to Genesee of New York (18-30, 30-28, 6-15).

CSM’s next two games were played at home, against Allegany Wednesday and Essex on Friday.

“For my money, we have the toughest schedule in the country,” Lozier said. “But

the only way to get better is to play teams like these.”

September 8th Is First World Rabies Day, Dhmh Officials Stress Awareness, Prevention As the first annual World Rabies Day approaches, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) reminds Marylanders that informational materials are available through the state’s local health departments. The brochure, Take a Bite Out of Rabies, contains important tips and information about the rabies virus such as how to prevent animal bites and avoid rabies infection. A companion poster is also available.

“People can avoid rabies by having their pets vaccinated regularly,” said Kim Mitchell, chief of Rabies and Vectorborne Diseases for the DHMH Center for Veterinary Public Health. Authorities.” World Rabies Day, developed by the Alliance for Rabies Control (ARC) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), takes place on Saturday, September 8th.

This first annual observance is designed to raise global awareness of rabies and prevention measures. The event promotes rabies and animal bite prevention through community engagement by individuals and organizations the world over. Although the last case of human rabies in Maryland occurred in 1976, each year Maryland emergency rooms, private medical providers and local health agencies dispense or administer nearly 1,000 doses of human rabies vaccine to individuals following an exposure to an animal. With rare exceptions, human rabies cases are fatal.

Between May 2000 and November 2006, 23 human cases of rabies were confirmed in the United States and Puerto Rico. DHMH officials remind all Maryland residents that basic precautions can be taken around the house to help prevent rabies transmission. All pet owners should keep their pets (dogs, cats, and ferrets) vaccinated on a regular basis. All Maryland local health departments offer animal rabies vaccination clinics at reduced prices to assist pet owners with maintaining this protection. Residents should take precautions to prevent bites by avoiding contact with any animals acting aggressively or showing dramatic changes in behavior. It is also important to remember that an animal infected with rabies can spread the virus even if it does not show any signs of the disease. If you have been bitten or come into contact with the saliva of an animal that you believe may have been rabid, contact your health care provider as soon as possible.

If you believe a pet of yours may have been bitten or have come into contact with saliva from a potentially rabid animal, contact your veterinarian. Suspicious bites or other exposures should be reported to the local health department, See World Rabies Day page B-

The first Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) class graduated from St. Mary’s College of Maryland (SMCM) this summer. The program, which began in 2006, is an intensive oneyear curriculum that certifies students in education. This is the first master’s degree offered by the College. Six new teachers will enter the Maryland classrooms this month, and a second and larger M.A.T. class will begin soon. There are 24 graduate students enrolled in the 2007-2008 program. “Every faculty member at St. Mary’s is a part of the development of each future teacher,” said Ardith Harle, educational studies chair at the College. “From each course a soon-to-be teacher takes, he or she learns something about the nature of the discipline, and how the course correlates with other aspects of teaching.” This

first graduating class marks a beginning for St. Mary’s new program. During the graduation ceremony, James P. Muldoon, the College’s chairman of the Board of Trustees, said that the College responded to Maryland’s need for well-educated teachers by establishing the M.A.T. program. Muldoon introduced Lois Stover, who served as professor of educational studies during the development of the program and was the keynote speaker at the ceremony. “Dr. Stover was a driving force in bringing the master’s program to the undergraduate institution,” said Muldoon.

Stover spoke about the students and their efforts to complete the program in one year. She spotlighted their hard work See M.A.T. Graduation page B-

Help For Destructive Scratching Cats scratch things for many reasons. Scratching removes the dead outer layer of a cat’s claws, marks territory both visually and with scent in the glands on their paws, stretches their bodies, flexes their feet and claws, and works off energy. Unfortunately, cats can scratch on things they shouldn’t. The Tri-County Animal Shelter wants you to know how to handle this issue quickly and easily should it occur.

Most importantly, always have a scratching post available for your cat to use.

Consider getting several for around the house. Give him the right thing to scratch so he won’t use the wrong thing.

The scratching post should

be tall enough that your cat can put his nails in it and lean out to stretch his entire body.

Some scratching posts come with several levels to them, so your cat can get some exercise on these inside jungle gyms.

You can trim your cat’s nails every couple of weeks.

Your veterinarian can show you how to only cut off the tip of the nail so it won’t bleed.

There is a product called “Sticky Paws” available for a minimal price at most pet stores. It is thin, double-sided tape that can be temporarily placed on whatever your cat may inappropriately scratch. This changes their minds very quickly.

Another product is called “Soft Paws”. They are

plastic nail caps that are glued to the end of your cat’s nails.

They come in many cool colors and are non-toxic. Check with your veterinarian to see if they carry this product.

Having the tools you need now to address destructive scratching can save your property and your relationship with your cat.

Kabobs As Versatile as the Seasons Are Unpredictable The fall season can be a difficult time to cook depending on where you live. In some regions of the country, fall is the shortest season of the year, lasting only a few weeks before the temperature dips and winter rolls in.

In other regions, Indian summers can make fall as perplexing a season as any, with high temperatures one day preceding sharp drops in temperature the next.

The often unpredictable nature of the weather makes choosing an entrée all the more

difficult. In general, try and select a meal that’s as versatile as the season itself, such as the following recipe for “Lamb and Lemon Kabobs with Hot Red Salsa.” Capable of being cooked in a broiler, grill pan or even on the barbecue, this recipe from Michael van Straten’s “The Healthy Jewish Cookbook” (Frog, Ltd.) is the perfect choice for the chef who knows what he wants but isn’t sure if the weather is going to cooperate.

Here’s 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!
