The Naval Academy’s entry just crossed the start line. The race started at 6 p.m. on Friday in Annapolis with waves that built to 5 feet and a 15-20 knot wind from the south. Boats cross the start line based on their class. The start line is the imaginary line between the red buoy in the foreground and the replica ship Sultana in the background.
Amy Kaper Staff Writer Last Saturday, the 34th running of the Governor’s Cup yacht race ensued, with the U.S. Naval Academy’s team coming in first place. The race was sponsored by St. Mary’s College of Maryland, with the course running from Annapolis to St. Mary’s City. The race was divided into groups, depending on the features of the boat. There was and overall winner and individual group winners. The race started at 6 p.m. in Annapolis. The waves started at five feet and the wind at 15-20 knots from the south. The highest recorded during the evening were gusts of 23 knots. The weather was challenging for all of us,” said Jim Muldoon, skipper of the Donnybrook and Chairman of the
SMCM Board of Trustees. The winning U.S. Naval Academy’s team, captained by Jahn Thinasky, crossed the finish line at 3:34 a.m., placing first out of every category for the first time in Governor’s Cup History. The Navy’s boat Zaffara beat the course record holder Donnybrook by one hour and 15 minutes. However, Donnybrook, captained by Muldoon, holds the course record set in 1993, six hours and nine minutes. A Montgomery County resident was also aboard the Donnybrook. Megan Cooper, a 23 year old Special Olympics gold medalist in sailing, will be representing the United States in the Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai, China this October.This was Cooper’s first offshore race.

In 1942, the United States Navy established its first amphibious training base (ATB) at Solomons, Md., to meet the urgent demands of World War II. The base trained thousands of marines, soldiers, sailors, and coast guardsmen who saw action throughout Europe and the Pacific. The first offensive lading operation by the United States in WWII occurred on August 7, 1942 when elements of the First Marine Division landed on the Guadalcanali the Pacific Solomon Island Chain. These were the fine men and women trained at Solomons. The base closed in 1945 but its presence in Solomons changed the town forever. Cradle of Invasion commemorates this little known but highly important training facility, and all of the men and women who served. It will be held on August 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Solomons Island. It will include a guided driving tour, Historical Company presentations, recollection roundtable, a guided cruise on the Wm. B. Tennison, and will end with a dedication and reception at Asbury. Through a combination of educational/interpretive demonstrations, interactive displays of historical artifacts, and impromptu discussions with living history interpreters, visitors get a view of a segment of the region’s past. Come out Saturday and join in the event to remember and commemorate the veterans of WWII and all our military men and women. This annual event, which is recognized as the official commemorative event for ATB is sponsored by Calvert Marine Museum.

Public Interest Note: There have been numerous brush fires throughout the tri-county area lately, more specifically, St. Mary’s County. Because of the severe drought and immense heat the area has been experiencing lately, there has been an increase in possibility in fire danger. Please remember to practice safe burning techniques when lighting a campfire or other controlled burn. Keep a garden hose handy near the fire and never leave the site of the burn. Your local fire departments are ready and willing to respond when called, but for your safety, and those around you, including our native animals and their homes, be responsible and safe when burning!

Let’s Talk!
The Tri-County Animal Shelter has professional speakers available to discuss animalrelated topics with members of our community. Presentations are available for civic organizations, summer camps, and day care centers. Teachers may wish to consider scheduling a presentation when school resumes, especially if character education is part of their curriculum. Humane education and responsible pet care can effectively enhance the teaching of core values. Teaching children respect, responsibility and compassion for animals can form the basis of a lifelong commitment to responsible pet care. And because children love to share what they’ve learned, lessons in humane education may change other people’s behavior towards animals as well. Presentations are age-appropriate, and can be geared toward any subject. Topics may include humane education, responsible pet ownership, volunteering, rabies, and working at an
animal shelter. Live animals are not brought to the location, but a stuffed dog is brought to presentations involving children. Informational handouts are available for each event. If your organization or school is interested in scheduling a presentation, please contact the Tri-County Animal Shelter at 1-800-903-1992. Let us know what topic you’re interested in, a date and time, the number of participants, and how long the presentation should last. We welcome all opportunities to speak about animals and improving the human-animal bond. Schedule your presentation today, and let’s talk!

Interview with Michael Vosburgh
Nearly Tied Softball Game Has Fans On Edge
New Ryken Athletic Director & Asst. Football Coach By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer County Times: Welcome to St. Mary’s County. We understand you have a long career as a football coach? Michael Vosburgh: Yeah. I’ve coached for 21 years. Most recently, I was at Heidelberg College in Ohio. I was there for 15 years as an assistant football coach. Prior to that, I spent three years as a high school head coach and prior to that I coached at Wesley College in Delaware. CT: How did you end up at Ryken? MV: I applied for the assistant football position and they informed me that coach Danny Sancomb was moving to a different position within the school. They asked me if I’d be interested in the position and I was floored. The fact that they wanted me to be the athletic director was just the icing on the cake. CT: What was it about the area that you liked so much? MV: Well my wife is from the Maryland Eastern Shore and we’d been here before but not to this particular area. We really fell in love with the St. Mary’s Ryken campus. St. Mary’s is much different than Ohio and even the Eastern Shore. We really just fell in love with the campus and the school. CT: What can you tell us about the Ryken football program as it heads into just its second season? MV: Well last year we had just a freshman team and this year we’re adding a junior varsity team. Coach Bob Harmon, who is in his second year, has done a great job starting up the program. We don’t have a full WCAC (Washington Catholic Athletic Conference) schedule yet, but next year, we’re going to be adding a varsity team and we should have a
full WCAC schedule. Coach Sancomb and the principal Eric Wood really pushed to start the team, along with the President (Mary Joy Hurlburt,) they were very instrumental in starting the team up. CT: What are your goals for such a young team? MV: We’re looking to build a highly competitive program. Our basketball team was very competitive last year, the men’s lacrosse team won the conference this year, so we want to follow in their shoes. In coming here, I was really attracted in being involved with the firsts; first football team, first junior varsity team, first varsity team. CT: What are your thoughts on the WCAC? MV: Well it’s a premiere conference, there’s no doubt about that. It’s a nationally recognized conference. There’s guys being signed to go to top notch colleges from the conference every year. There are great coaches, great athletes, great schools, great academics. CT: The girl’s softball team finished second in the conference and the boy’s lacrosse team won the WCAC this year in just three years of participating in the league. The boy’s basketball team didn’t win a conference game in their first season in the conference but now they’re up there with all the best teams. Is this something that’s feasible with the football team? MV: I think it’s certainly possible. Coach Harmon wouldn’t have taken the job here if he didn’t think we could be successful. I wouldn’t have come here either if I didn’t think we could be successful. Our goal is to build a successful football program. If we could do it in other sports, we can do it in football as well.

Fishing in Southern Maryland is still going strong. Around the naval base and Three-Legged Bowie croakers are being caught usually between 10-15 inches. The minimum size for croakers is nine inches and fisherman can take home up to 25 per person per day. Bluefish, which must be at least eight inches long according to regulations, are weighing in at an average of five to six pounds from Cedar Point, Ship’s Channel and the Point Lookout pier. Most fisherman say it is not difficult to take home the limit of 10 blues a day. The Chesapeake Bay is reported to be full of rockfish this season and liveliners are pulling in large quantities daily. Trollers using smaller, lighter rigs are catching rocks but surfcasters are getting a good amount of bites off of Cedar Point Hollow and
Goose Creek. Rockfish up to 30 inches have been found at the mouth of Coan River and around St. George’s Island. Rocks are becoming a great catch this season but remember to read the regulations on sizes and how many of which size can be taken home. Flounder as large as 20 inches have been caught by minnow drifters at Corn Harbor, Cedar Point and Ship’s Channel. Meeting the regulation of 15 inches for flounder is not difficult this year but only two a day can be taken home by any one fisher. Spot are abundant near the Gas Docks and the entire Patuxent River, as well as Half Pone Point, Little Cove Point and Cove Point. Although mostly smaller in size, regulation bass can always be caught at St. Mary’s Lake.

Hey Kids: Protect Your Eyes During Sports Play The number of kids playing organized sports is on the rise and so to is the number of sports-related injuries. What many players, parents and coaches do not realize is that the majority of injuries occur during practice and not during games, making it crucial that kids wear protective equipment for practices and games alike. Proper protection for these athletes should include not only helmets, knee and elbow pads and mouth guards, but protective eyewear as well. More than 600,000 eye injuries related to sports and recreation occur each year. Of these injuries, 42,000 re-

FISHING TIP: For freshwater fishing, rigging a line with wide-gap hooks can prove more effective in hook setting. Using a three to four inch piece of bait, such as a minnow, worm or lizard (Zoom bait actually works best for this), insert the hook into the center of the mouth. Feed the bait onto the hook, past the knot and just onto your line. Using the wide-gap hook allows for a deeper hook set and a sure catch! This type of rigging can also be made weedless by inserting just a little piece of the bait onto the tip of the hook after rigging. You may have to wait a second longer for the fish to really bite, but rigging this weedless with wide-gap hooks allows for fishing in ponds and other places where obstructions in the water are common.
quire a trip to the Emergency Room, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Flying objects are just one of the hazards of sports. A large number of injuries occur from finger pokes and jabs from arms and elbows. Throw together a couple of overzealous players and a potential collision could occur. Even sports that seem relatively harmless can actually be harmful to the eyes. But more than 90 percent of all eye injuries can be prevented with the use of appropriate protective eyewear, says Prevent Blindness America. And proper hygiene and vision care, such as yearly examinations and proper cleaning of glasses and contact lenses can ensure that kids protect one of their most valuable tools . their vision. Today, protective eyewear is becoming commonplace for any kid who picks up a ball, stick, racquet, or dives into sports play. In fact, without having to worry about eye injuries, both players and parents can focus more intently on game play and - of course - winning. Whether a child is an after-school jock or a weekend warrior, here’s a listing of some of the popular seasonal sports activities that present a risk for injury, which can become much safer with protective eyewear.
Autumn Soccer: Soccer is tremendously popular among today’s boys and girls, and chances are most households boast at least one soccer player. Because soccer players are always moving, be sure to have all eyewear fitted individually. Protective eyewear has straps that will feature some sizing flexibility, so resist the urge to buy a larger size that kids can “grow into.” Re-evaluate siz-
ing every year. Football: A very high contact sport, eye injuries can occur but aren’t as common due to face protection offered by helmets. Still, eye protection can be fitted under helmets, offering additional protection against debris and potential finger pokes.
Winter Basketball: Basketball is the leading cause of eye injury for players ages 15 to 24. Research shows that 1 in 10 college basketball players will suffer an eye injury each season. According to the National Society to Prevent Blindness, almost 7,000 injuries were found to be related to playing basketball. Finger poking is one of the more common basketball injuries nationwide. Sports protective eyewear, however, can help hardwood heroes avoid the perils of eye injury.
Spring Baseball/Softball: Baseball is the leading cause of eye injury in players 14 and under. This ranks baseball among the highest sports for eye injury risks. Players are contending with a high-speed projectile (the ball), swinging bats and potential sun glare. That’s a recipe for eye injuries. Regular shades or other “street” eyewear won’t provide proper protection. Due to the potential velocity of a baseball or softball, nothing can guarantee complete injury protection, but sports protective eyewear can greatly lessen the risk of serious injury. The lenses are made from polycarbonate, which are impact-resistant and have inherent UV protection. Lacrosse: Men’s and women’s’ lacrosse differ in regard to how much physical contact is allowed, with the men’s teams being more con-
tact-heavy. Still, some form of stick checking and blows from lacrosse balls make sports eye protection a smart idea for players. The most common head/facial injuries seen are contusions about the face and eye orbit, creating the typical “black eye.” This primarily occurs in women’s games because of the lack of a hard helmet. Therefore, sports eye protection is mandatory for all players.
Summer Tennis and other racquet sports: In a Canadian study, racquet sports accounted for 24.5 percent of all reported eye injuries and 8.8 percent of all eyes blinded by sports. In a U.S. study, racquet sports were responsible for 40.3 percent of sports eye injuries seen in a private practice, and 23 percent of all admissions for hyphema (bleeding inside of the eye) to the Massachusetts Ear and Eye Infirmary. The high speed at which balls are served or struck during these sports can make eye trauma common, even though many people do not associate these sports with injury.
Shopping for Eye Protection Liberty Sport provides a line of high-quality protective sports eyewear. They are tested to withstand the ASTM F803 impact resistant standards for racquetball, basketball, handball, squash, paddleball, soccer, and tennis when fitted with the appropriate polycarbonate lenses. They’re also the only protective sports eyewear to receive the American Optometric Seal of Acceptance. Additionally, almost all corrective lens prescriptions can be incorporated into stylish sports protective eyewear. To learn more, visit www.libertysport.com.

had one. At the bottom of the seventh inning, Two Point was down by four. With four runs, they became tied against Chaney’s solo homerun just as the seventh inning ended. After spilling over into the eighth inning, Chaney then proceeded to obtain a run, completing the game. Two Point lost by one after a technicality. The first base runner ran before the ball was caught, causing him to get an out. Chaney Enterprises now has a record of 12-11, Two Point has a record of 8-20. When asked about their not so impressive record, Two Point’s coach Chris Pulliam
Continued from page B-B4 runs, with a homerun by Chris Grinder. In the third inning, Two Point had a solo homerun. Chaney scored five runs. In the fourth inning, Two Point came back for a bit. They scored one run, while Chaney scored none. However, in the fifth inning, they started to come back down. Two Point scored three runs, while Chaney managed five. The sixth inning was close, but once again Two Point failed to come back. They had no runs, and Chaney
said “we started out good at the beginning of the season, we just got killed!” Pulliam feels that the problem lies in the team’s offensive output. “People aren’t hitting the ball. However, last night we hit the ball the best we have out of the last ten games.” Both teams will play their last game as they compete in the playoffs next week. All teams in the league will be present, but divided into game brackets according to their records.
In the Knowl It’s Just Fantasy By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Have you seen the movie Knocked Up? If you haven’t seen it yet but plan on renting it when it comes out on DVD, maybe you should skip this first paragraph and go on to the next one. If you have seen it, I’m sure you laughed out loud at the scene
where Leslie Mann’s character Debbie is suspicious that her husband, Pete, played by Paul Rudd is cheating on her. Debbie traces Paul’s steps and drives to the house where she thinks she’s going to find her husband sleeping with another woman. After sneaking around the house for a while and coming up empty handed, she hears a noise coming from a room. She follows the noise
and then pushes open the door to find… Paul and a bunch of his nerdy friends doing a fantasy baseball draft!!! “What are you doing?” she says “We’re playing fantasy baseball,” he says, decked out in an Orioles jersey and hat. “I got Matsui!” This scene might sound a little ridiculous, but not when you consider the fact that an
Sancomb Departs St. Mary’s Ryken By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer After three years of leading the St. Mary’s Ryken athletic program and coaching the Knights boy’s basketball team, Dan Sancomb will return to Wheeling Jesuit University --where he was an All American athlete -- to coach the men’s basketball team and take on the athletic director position. “The opportunity to get back to coaching at the college level is something I’ve always wanted to do,” Sancomb said. Sancomb was voted the 2006 Coach of the Year in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) after leading the Knights to a 17-12 overall record. He also over-
saw 62 coaches at Ryken as the athletic director. Sancomb said leaving St. Mary’s Ryken will be difficult. “It’s kind of bittersweet,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity for me to take on my first head coaching position in college, but it’s been hard calling the kids and the faculty at St. Mary’s to let them know that I’m leaving.” The reaction from the Ryken community has been positive, he added. “Everyone is very supportive,” Sancomb said. “That’s why Ryken is such a good school, because people really want what’s best for you.” Sancomb, a graduate of Wheeling Jesuit, will take over for Jay DeFruscio, who will be going to the Indiana
Pacers as an assistant coach to Jim O’Brien, who is also a former Cardinals coach. Sancomb is the Cardinals sixth all time highest scorer with 1,454 career points. He received many awards, including NCAA Division II Third Team All American. After graduating from Wheeling Jesuit University, he served as an assistant coach of the men’s basketball team at the West Virginia Institute of Technology. From 1999-2004, Sancomb was an assistant coach with the Cardinals and was in charge of recruiting, scouting, and directing camps.

estimated 16 million adults in the U.S. to have played fantasy sports in 2006. In the world of fantasy sports, there’s something for every different kind of sports enthusiasts. You can play fantasy football, baseball, basketball, golf, soccer, tennis, horse racing, auto racing, pro-wrestling. What’s next, fantasy cricket? Well, actually, there already is fantasy cricket. I’ve done fantasy football and fantasy basketball, but I don’t see myself signing up to do fantasy cricket anytime in the near future. To me, football is perfect for fantasy sports. The season is short. There’s a week break between each game, giving you plenty of time to reset your roster in case some of your players have a bye or are injured. Fantasy basketball was way too long and with games every other day, I never had time to update my roster. I can’t imagine what baseball would be like with over 100 games in a season.
But the best thing about fantasy sports is that you find yourself going buck wild over some game that means nothing to you just because one of your players is on one of the teams. That’s about as far as my interest in fantasy sports goes. I spend about five minutes a week changing around my roster and checking up on the week’s scores and standings. I have friends who spend every free minute of their day trying to trade players, pick up players and doing whatever else they can to get the edge in their next game. For people who are obsessed with fantasy sports, there are games that allow you to be the commissioner of a league. You can customize everything personally (rules, roster limits, scoring system, league website, etc.) and get access to stats and trade information on your cell phone (that is, if it really can’t wait ‘til you get back to your computer or if you’re on vacation
and you really need your fix.) You probably think fantasy sports are just for geeks, and you’d probably be right. But it’s not just for sports fans. If you go online, you can also play... (drum roll please)… FANTASY CONGRESS!!! If you ever felt like a dork for playing fantasy baseball, fear no longer, there is someone out there playing FANTASY CONGRESS!!! This is no lie, players of Fantasy Congress (called “citizens”) draft members of the U.S. House and Senate and keep track of their moves within the U.S. Congress. When I learned about this, I immediately felt better about myself. Ladies, this news should make you feel better as well. While you might think your significant other is cheating on you, there’s no need to worry, he’s probably at his friend’s house doing a fantasy congress draft!

Taking the Backyard Out of the Backyard Barbecue As barbecue afficionados the world over know, late summer can prove to be hard times for backyard barbecues. Late summer typically sees temperatures reach their peak, forcing many inside to the cool and controlled environments offered by air conditioners. However, just because the temperatures outside are unbearable doesn’t mean the barbecue is a thing of the past. Recipes such as the following for “Carolina Barbecue” from “The Professional Chef,” courtesy of the Culinary Institute of America (Wiley), can be made in the comfort of cool indoor air. And as any barbecue fan can attest, the best barbecue goes heavy on the sauce.
Carolina Barbecue Makes 10 Servings 12 lb. pork butt 1 ounce salt 1⁄2 ounce ground black pepper 10 sandwich buns, split and toasted 10 fluid ounces North Carolina Piedmont Sauce 10 fluid ounces North Carolina Western Barbecue Sauce 10 fluid ounces Mustard Barbecue Sauce 1. Season the pork butt with salt and pepper. Roast in a 400 F oven until tender, about 5 hours. 2. Remove the pork from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, shred or chop the pork. 3. For each portion, serve about 6 ounces of the pork on a toasted bun with the sauces on the side.
Sidebar: North Carolina Piedmont Sauce Makes 32 ounces 15 ounces white vinegar 15 ounces cider vinegar 31⁄2 teaspoons red pepper flakes 11⁄2 ounces Tabasco sauce 13⁄4 ounces sugar 4 teaspoons cracked black peppercorns

Comine all the ingredients and mix well. Adjust seasoning with salt and cayenne, if necessary.
Mustard Barbecue Sauce Makes 32 ounces 1 ounce vegetable oil 1 pound chopped onions 11⁄2 ounces minced garlic 16 ounces white vinegar 11 ounces spicy brown mustard 2 teaspoons celery seed 31⁄2 ounces sugar Salt, as needed Ground black pepper, as needed 1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. 2. Add the remaining ingredients and bring the mixture to a simmer to melt the sugar. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the flavors to blend, about 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
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!
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Use immediately or refrigerate.
