Softball League Makes Switch In Hopes Of Gaining Competitive Balance

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer When the Hughesville Softball Association decided to cease its affiliation with Little League after 30 years, HSA Board Member Joe Therres was sure it was the right decision. Our players werent learning what they should, Therres said of what prompted the decision to join the ranks of the Amateur Softball Association. Scheduling has been a nightmare with small leagues trying to field a program, so we just felt it was best to bring everybody into our fold. Therres stated that it was tough for the local leagues to field competitive teams with residential boundaries in place. In joining the ASA, Hughesville, which also draws player from Mechanicsville, Charlotte Hall, and other areas in northern St. Marys County, will now have a much wider selection of players to choose from and the hope is that it will result in better competition. Nearly every district championship weve won, he explains, weve won unchallenged. Weve got a successful program with ASA so hopefully everyone can start playing better ball. Bobby Rawlings, a long time coach with the HSA, echoed Therres sentiments about competition. Weve been struggling for years to get enough players and provide umpires for games, says Rawlings, who will be coaching in the ASAs major division, for players See Softball page B-2

Seahawks Suffer Third Straight Loss

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer ST. MARYS CITY Chris Harney did not anticipate having to start four freshmen at any point during the St. Marys College Mens Basketball season. However, with the absences of regular starters Alex Irmer and Mike Smelkinson (shoulder strain; Smelkinson is day-today), the Seahawks are forced to go with what they have, and it showed during a 79-63 non-conference loss to The College of New Jersey Saturday afternoon, their third straight defeat and fourth in their last five games. Obviously, were forcing freshmen into major roles, Harney said See Seahawks page B-2

Leonardtown Girls Hold Off Chopticon

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer MORGANZA In a game where neither team seemed to hold an advantage until the final seconds, it was the Leonardtown girls basketball team who ended the contest on top of the seesaw, defeating Chopticon 38-32 in a SMAC girls matchup Friday night at Chopticon. Our girls are determined to play better, said Raiders coach Ed Carney. Its nothing myself or the other coaches have done. The girls decided that. Junior center Misty Stachowski led all scorers with 13 points including a basket with a minute to go that opened up a five point lead that would be enough to secure the win. Shes worked very hard on finishing her shots, Carney said. Chopticon (1-7 on the season, 0-2 in the See Girls Basketball page B-2

The difference to me, said Chopticon coach Glenn Larnerd, Jr., was the last three minutes of the first half. Leonardtown was all over the place, diving for loose balls, playing good defense. They played very well tonight, but we hurt ourselves also. We wanted to keep the pressure on to slow them down a little bit, Carney said after they went to a full-court trap defense that limited Somerville and Guys opportunities for easy shots. The Braves jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the first quarter, but the Raiders stormed back to take the lead, opening up a margin as wide as eight on Kirsten Olsons steal and lay-up that made the score 34-26 with five minutes gone by in the fourth quarter. Somerville pumped in a one-footed three pointer to shrink the lead to 34-31 before Stachowskis shot from the right side effectively sealed the deal. Olson added nine points and Carolyn Photo By Chris Stevens Whiteman scored six for the Lady Raiders. A Leonardtown player dribbles the ball.

If were competitive year round instead of part of the year, I think it will be beneficial for our girls.

However, there is one coach who dis-

agrees with the move. Paul Albert, who has coached in HSA for the last two years, fears that some kids will be left behind because of the new affiliation. A bunch of parents came to me and asked me why they were making this move, and I wasnt sure what to tell them, he said. My fear is that some kids are going to be left behind. Theyll either join ASA or try some other sport. Albert also isnt sure where the HSA-ASA affiliation will get enough kids to expand from 10 teams currently to 18 once the season stats in the spring. He also posed an interesting question. If Little League
is so bad, then why arent the boys switching affiliations as well?

Seahawks
Continued from page B- of his starting line-up that included Mike Bowden, Alex Franz, Mikey Fitzpatrick and Kyle Jarczynski along with senior guard Tyson Lesesne. Were asking them to make these adjustments rather quickly. Starting in the middle in place of Irmer, Bowden, a 66 freshman from Columbia, MD, seemed more than ready to play, leading all scorers with 23 points, making 10 of his 11 field goal attempts. His most impressive basket was a 35-foot missile as time expired in the first half to shrink the Lions lead to one (39-38) at the half. Its a change, Bowden said of his status as a starter. Im used to being the sixth man off the bench. I have really big shoes to fill. Irmer played sparingly in the Seahawks 68-48 loss to McDaniel College on Wednesday and was noticeably absent Saturday. Harney characterized Irmers being M.I.A. as personal reasons and said that it was 50-50 whether the 67 junior from Alexandria, VA would return this season. Its a wait and see thing with Alex, Harney said. Even without their starting center and point guard, the Seahawks seemed poised to claw back and steal the game from the equally-struggling Lions (now 3-6 on the season) at several points in
the second half, as Bowden spun home a 17-foot jumper from the baseline to tie the score at 53 seven minutes into the second half. The Lions, however, were lights out from three-point territory, shooting 12-of-23 from that area. Sparked by their hot shooting, along with Jay Frank leading five players in double figures with 19 points, the Lions closed the game on a 26-10 run, going outside to open up the game underneath
the basket and St. Marys had no answer. You never anticipate injuries and personal issues, you just plug in guys and hope for the best, Harney said. Lesesne added 10 points and five assists and Fitzpatrick connected on three-of-four three point shots for nine points for the Seahawks, whose record now stands at 7-6. They are currently 2-2 in the Capital Athletic Conference.

Continued from page B- I thought we withstood their run, but it just never happened for us. The Knights went to a bigger starting line-up Wednesday, starting 63 sophomore Taevaunn Prince in place of senior Julius Brown (511) at point guard. Prince responded with eight first half points, and ended up tied with Melvin Ejim for the team lead with 13 points. Taevaunn has shown flashes of excellence, Tallman said. He is going to be a special player if he continues to work hard. The Knights jumped ahead early, led by Prince and fellow sophomore Elijah Matthews, whose fast-break jam opened up a 28-17 lead halfway through the second quarter. The Stags responded behind junior guard Marcus Rouse, who scored several key buckets in the fourth quarter, the biggest coming on a long jumper just inside the three-point line to tie the game at 53 in the final seconds of regulation. In overtime, Rouse continued to make shot after shot, leaving the Knights down three with seven seconds left in OT. Ryken worked to get Brown an open look at a three-pointer in the corner, but his attempt bounced off the side of the rim and DeMatha hit two free-throws to seal the hard-earned victory. The Stags made 12 of their 16 free throw attempts while the Knights hit only five of 11 attempts from the foul line. Tallman said there was no change in strategy from either side, but one big
Sports In The Eyes Of A County Boy

Amid Tragedy and Defeat, A Guiding Light
Ron Guy Contributing Writer First things first, I must express my sincere thanks to the The County Times for this opportunity. Hopefully youll find this column thought provoking and with some application to your lives. It is simply one County residents take on a recent happening in the world of sports. As this particular topic presented itself, I swore I wasnt going to do it. I wasnt going to make my debut writing about a subject to which I have an undeniable emotional attachment. Insert emotion and you immediately lose objectivity and perhaps some credibility. So many ideas dancing through my head, there must be a nice safe one in there somewhere. Right? Well, sure there are, but this is too good. Besides, whats the intent of this column? It is to draw a correlation between sports (one of lifes live productions, the original reality show) and real life. Athletics offers us many life lessons: be it about competition (victory and defeat), human nature, cultural diversity, leadership, adversity, camaraderie or in this case, all the above. Confession: I am a fan of the Washington Redskins. Not the type that, in good times, suddenly squeezes into some dated, ill-fitting sweatshirt from a more glamorous, by-gone era or slips on some crisp, clean, fresh out-of-the-box, 2007 playoff hat procured shortly after an improbable playoff appearance was secured. No, the type of fan that carves out 3-4 hours of dedicated T.V. time for 16 Sundays in the fall (and sometimes winter!). Thats every Sunday, every fall, without exception. Admittedly this ritual will pass no cost/benefit analysis of prudent time management. But it is what it is, and Im not alone in the land of fanatics. And I know many of those fanatics are close to home, here in St. Marys County, which used to be Redskins country. Redskins football in the 80s and early 90s was something of a religious experience. I remember several occasions while attending church as a child, the priest noting that he intended to keep his sermon short so we could get home comfortably for the 1pm kickoff. The priorities were God, family and Redskins football, in that orderunless the Skins were playing Dallas in a pivotal NFC East showdown. Seriously, Im not kidding. Now things have certainly changed in the last 20 years or so. Take a drive down route 235 these days and youll see the colors of many NFL teams proudly displayed on four-wheeled rolling billboards. And thats a good thing. It sure makes the water cooler talk more interesting. The point is there are a lot of sports fans, and specifically fans of the National Football League, in Southern Maryland. But it matters little whether youre both or neither, this is as much about life as it is sport. With that said, you may have taken notice as a remarkable story unfolded just up the road. It began, tragically, on Tuesday November 27, 2007 with the death of the Redskins 24-yr-old, Pro Bowl safety, Sean Taylor. Taylor succumbed to injuries a day after sustaining a single gunshot wound from an intruder at his home near Miami, Florida. It was in the wake of this horrible, senseless loss that a team was expected to continue. The National Football League, not unlike any other form of big-time athletics these days, is at its core entertainment. So, the show must go on. And in this case, the games did. Five days, just as many sleepless nights and countless interviews after Sean Taylors death, a heavy-hearted and emotionally drained Redskins team faced the Buffalo Bills at FedEx Field in Landover, MD. It was time to go back to work, ready or not. After riding an emotional wave in the first half, the team understandably faded down the stretch and lost 17-16 on a last-second kick field goal by Buffalo kicker Rian Lindell. The kick was successful after a fateful blunder by Hall of Fame Coach Joe Gibbs. Coach Gibbs called consecutive time-outs in an attempt to ice the Buffalo kicker. This is against the rules and resulted in a painful 15yard penalty against the Redskins. Lindell drilled the more manageable 36-yard field goal. After this, the last of four consecutive losses, the teams record was 5-7 and the season seemed alive only mathematically. The next day the Redskins flew to Florida to eulogize and bury their fallen teammate. As luck would have it, the NFL schedule had the Redskins facing the Chicago Bears Thursday night at FedEx Field. Sounds bleak for the home team, huh? Well after sustaining a couple of key injuries in the first half, most notably a knee injury to starting Quarterback Jason Campbell, an amazing thing happened. They righted themselves and won. And then they went to New York the next Sunday night and beat the Giants, then the Vikings and finally a resounding defeat (much to Jessica Simpsons chagrin) of the Dallas Cowboys. Four straight, improbable wins to finish the season 97 and earn the 6th and final playoff spot in the NFC. Every expert had written off this team after the tough, emotional and at some level cruel loss to the Bills. In fact, the only person I can recall with an opinion to the contrary was former Redskins great, Joe Jacoby. He boldly predicted after the Buffalo loss that the Redskins would win four straight and make the playoffs. After the Dallas game, Jacoby was asked to explain his prediction. He too stepped into the confessional and admitted to being a Redskin to the core and explained, frankly, that it wasnt based on any football analysis. It was, as he poignantly stated, based simply on an intimate knowledge of and belief in, the head coach of the Washington Redskins. Joe Gibbs. It is a name that makes the hair on the back of the necks of Redskins fans stand and our chests puff out with pride. In his first legendary stint as Redskins coach, he won 3 Superbowls in 12 years. He resigned after the 1992 season and remained out of football until his improbable return in 2004. And after failed coaches like Norv Turner, Marty Schottenheimer and Steve Spurrier, the Redskins needed him more than he needed them. The on-field results in Act 2, now at the conclusion of its fourth and final year, were mixed: records of 6-10, 10-6 (with a playoff win), 5-11 and 9-7 (with a playoff appearance). Not bad, but were talking about a Hall of Fame coach with three titles. Heck, he had a total of one losing season (7-9) in his first 12-year tenure. Certainly the organizational structure was different this time around. Coach Gibbs role seemed to be more similar to that of a CEO as opposed to a traditional, hands-on, detail-obsessed NFL head coach. And in some ways maybe this role was perfect to handle the unprecedented events of this season. But through all the recent criticism of the teams performance, Coach Gibbs maintained his seemingly limitless resolve and has remained typically classy, courteous and unflappable. That is, until the Buffalo game. I have watched Joe Gibbs in victory and defeat for the better part of my lifetime. After calling the aforementioned second timeout against Buffalo, thereby making the game-deciding field goal attempt a much more manageable distance, I saw him blink for the first time. As the ball sailed through the uprights, Coach Gibbs hung his head in defeat. It was a heart-breaking image for Redskins fans. I know I sat in silence on my couch for at least 10 minutes after the game. For a variety of obvious reasons, it was my personal low-point as a Redskins fan. This was our coach, defeated and emotionally exhausted. All the talk of the game passing him by and the perceived damage to his legacy not only seemed justified but perhaps cold, hard fact. The Buffalo game was supposed to provide the team brief respite from the pain of losing a teammate. The overwhelming feeling of the day had been to win one for Sean. Unfortunately, we can all relate to the loss of a loved one. But hopefully most of us have been spared the tragic loss of young family member, friend or colleague. Theres undoubtedly an internal aspect to dealing with death, but there also seems to be some tendency to look to a particular person, be it a family member, friend or clergy for guidance or leadership in setting the course for those that must go on. I recently lost my mother-in-law, Victoria Plank, to a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. The leadership displayed by my father-in-law and brother-in-law during this difficult time has been truly inspiring. In the wake of Sean Taylors death, Joe Gibbs stood tall and led the Washington Redskins. Of course, in his typical self-deprecating fashion, he would be quick to give credit to Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, his coaching staff and the players; and deservedly so. But it is clear that Coach Gibbs still has a tremendous ability to relate to people. In fact, when asked about his age and ability to adapt to todays players and game, his typical response is, human nature doesnt change. The class and dignity with which he has navigated through the loss of such a beloved young man as Sean Taylor and somehow rallied his former teammates to perform such heroic feats on the football field is simply extraordinary. Has the game passed him by? Fortunately, maybe it has. Commitment, strength, conviction, honesty, compassion, humility and a deep respect for people: these are qualities all too rare in life and in professional athletics today. Youll find a healthy serving of each in Joe Gibbs. The remarkable run ended this past Saturday evening with a first round playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Predictably, there was immediate speculation about Coach Gibbss future and following an extremely evasive press conference this past Monday, he announced his resignation Tuesday as coach and team president of the Redskins. Anyone that knows even a little about Joe Gibbs shouldnt be shocked. He is deeply devoted to his family and has been quietly dealing with the illness of his young grandson, who is battling leukemia. Joe Gibbs Racing will be transitioning from the Chevrolet to Toyota racecars this coming NASCAR season. If Im in the Toyota marketing department, I want the living breathing brand, Joe Gibbs, to be in the forefront of pitching my product. And lets face it, at 67 years young, Joe Gibbs probably just didnt need or want this anymore. Coaching an NFL team is unimaginably demanding. It takes a rare breed of person to put in those kinds of hours. I know in his first go-around with the Redskins it was common practice for him to sleep at the teams facility during the season. I bet that didnt change in Act 2. Certainly Joe Gibbs owes football and Redskins fans nothing. Hell always be our coach. In the end this improbable run over the last month wrote the last chapter in his remarkable coaching career. It was a special month, engineered by a coach Im not ready to miss, in honor of a player I will never forget. Extra Point: Sean Taylor wore #21. This improbable run began against the Chicago Bears in week 14. With no score late in the second quarter, Redskins Quarterback Todd Collins threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Todd Yoder. The Redskins secured a playoff appearance on the last week of the regular season by beating Dallas 27-6, a 21-point victory. Saturday night they lost 35-14 to the Seattle Seahawks. You do the math. The Redskins organization and Taylors former teammates did an admirable job of keeping his memory alive this season. After a tough loss to Seattle (the game was much closer than the final score would indicate), maybe the margin of defeat was merely a coincidence or maybe it was Seans way of consoling his heart-broken teammates. Thats an individual interpretation. Regardless, Im sure Coach Gibbs knew just what to say.
The Knights Julius Brown leaps to defend a shot.
change in the game. We went ice cold and they got hot at the end, he explained. Prince agreed, adding that they were just hungrier than we were. We just have to keep working hard and giving 110 percent. Senior forward Jon Taylor added 10 points and Matthews contributed nine for the Knights, who are now 6-4 on the season, 1-3 in the WCAC.

Feline Leukemia And Feline Immunodeficiency Virus
The Tri-County Animal Shelters wants you to know that there are two very serious feline diseases you should be aware of, especially if you allow your cats to roam outdoors. Both diseases are caused by a virus and are spread from cat to cat primarily through bite wounds, as the virus is shed in saliva. Feline leukemia (FeLV) can also be found in urine and feces. Licking, biting and sneezing are common forms of transmission of FeLV; food and water dishes and litter boxes are likely sources of infections if healthy cats share them with infected cats. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), also known as feline aids, is related to HIV, the cause of human aids, but only cats can get FIV. Humans and dogs cannot contract it. Since both diseases impair the cats immune system, infected cats lose the ability to fight infections, which results in chronic health problems and, in most cases, death. Cats can live for many years with either of these diseases and not show any symptoms, however they can still spread the disease. Once a cat begins to show signs of the disease, their health can decline quickly. There are simple ways to prevent your cat from getting these diseases. First, have your veterinarian screen any new cat with a combination blood test for both diseases. All cats adopted from the Tri-County Animal Shelter are screened for both viruses. Second, keep your cats indoors. This helps them to live longer in general, since they wont come into contact with other animals, mean people or speeding cars. While there are vaccinations for both diseases, they may not offer 100% protection. The best way to protect your cat 100% is to keep them in your home and away from other cats.

Home Improvements Can Help Sell Your Home

The real estate bubble has burst, or so the economists tell us. Sellers are at a real disadvantage for the first time in several years. Where houses were once snatched up almost as soon as they were listed, now inventories of homes for sale are sitting on the market for months on end. With this current state of affairs, sellers must do all they can to make their house the most attractive one around. Buyers are more discerning than ever and wont settle for a subpar home when there are plenty of other options. Making improvements both inside and outside of the house that boost its appeal to buyers can help push a sale in the sellers favor, says Don Zeman, renowned radio personality, host of Homefront With Don Zeman, and home improvement expert. When homeowners can do much of the work themselves, theyll save money and hone valuable skills that can last a lifetime. Zeman, together with Woodcraft, the woodworking industrys leading provider of tools, products and education, offers the following renovations and tips that could help sell a home. Enhance curb appeal. A home with a high curb appeal is one that appears inviting to prospective buyers when they first pull up to the curb to check the home out. Curb appeal has little to do with the homes condition, but lots to do with prospective buyers perceptions of the home. To increase a homes curb appeal, take good care of the lawn, planting appealing flowers if necessary, and keep all bushes and trees well trimmed. Adding architectural items such as shutters, decorative trim work, new railings, or even a porch or pergola can go a long way to improving a homes appeal. For the do-it-yourselfer, project guides for these and other items can show you the way and at a discount from purchasing a finished product. Focus on the details. High quality details throughout a home can set it apart from others on the market, particularly in housing developments where many homes follow a common layout. Naturally, improvements will vary depending upon how much of an investment you can make. Think about updating cabinetry and countertops in kitchens, if possible. Swap out cabinet hardware and knobs and change outdated fixtures for an instant update on a budget. Woodcraft offers an assortment of hardware options by Laurey as well as tandem drawer slides and hinges by Blum to enhance the functionality of your cabinets. Adding moldings, baseboards, mantels, and custom-looking built-ins are other ways to upgrade the look and feel of a home. Youll need a good router, like the Porter Cable Speedmatic, and there are hundreds of router bit styles to create any look you want. Precision measuring tools, such as those by Pinnacle, will assure the correct angles and dimensions. Additionally, when you trulyare doing it yourself, the Third Hand Support System provides the extra help needed to hold these items in place while installing. Paint possibilities: Nothing transforms a room faster than a new coat of paint. Neutral colors throughout the home allow potential buyers to envision their belongings and dcor in your home most easily. Resist the urge to try paint treatments or texturing techniques, as anything that is difficult to change or cover-up may deter buyers. Also consider giving existing woodwork new life with an updated stain or finish. The Earlex HVLP Spray System can speed this job along and assure an even finish every time. Keep the flooring presentable. Flooring is often a tough call for sellers. Some think the wrong flooring can make a home extremely difficult to sell, while others feel that its easy for prospective buyers to imagine simply pulling the carpet up, making this a non-issue. Unless the flooring is in terrible shape, and Saturday evenings, and at 3:30 p.m. for the Sunday matinees. Doors open an hour before each scheduled show time. Reservations are recommended. The Newtowne Players, Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit community theatre run by volunteers. For more information on volunteering, auditioning, sponsoring the theatre, information on upcoming events, or to reserve tickets, call 301-737-5447, or visit our website at www. newtowneplayers.org with tears, chips, or lots of stains, a thorough cleaning/ resurfacing by a professional service is probably all it needs. If you want to replace the flooring, keep in mind that it could be an expensive project if you hire a professional. With a few helping hands and a little know-how, you may be able to replace a floor yourself. Determine the cost of new flooring, versus the return youll get on that investment before beginning. Be sure to fix as many imperfections to flooring as you can before putting the house on the market if youre not going for a total replacement. The Fein MultiMaster Pro Floor Kit was created to ease this process along through its manycutting, scraping and sanding tools. There are also additional attachments, like the Tileworker Kit and Wood Kit, for refinishing or replacing broken tile, countertops, windows and doors. Selling a home will require a little more work than in years past. For more helpful tips from Don Zeman, click on www.homefront.com.

Inmate Starts Fire in Cell Block

On January 7, 2007 at approximately 8:25 p.m. corrections officers responded to a cell block inside the detention center after observing smoke coming from under a locked cell door. Three inmates were inside the cell at the time. The officers responded, secured the cell block, unlocked the doors and initiated an investigation to determine the cause of the smoke. The investigation revealed suspect Nathan Amin Shelley, 21, of Lexington Park, used com-
mon jail products such as, batteries, toilet paper and an empty juice carton to allegedly start a small fire in the cell while two other inmates were locked inside the cell, unable to get out. The fire was contained and caused minor property damage and resulted in no injuries, however the risk for both damage and injury were substantial. Shelley was charged with 2nd degree arson, malicious burning and two counts of reckless endangerment. He was taken before the District Court commissioner on these charges and remains incarcerated.

A Super Snack Perfect for the Big Game

Few events in the United States are more synonymous with food and partying than the Super Bowl. This is professional footballs biggest game of the year, often more about getting together with friends than the game itself. Recognizing this, award winning food writer and dedicated sports fan Debbie Moose decided to combine her mutual passions via Fan Fare (Harvard Common Press), a cookbook devoted to foods perfect for the big game, such as the following recipe for Gobble Em Up Nachos.

cook until the turkey is done. 2. Stir in the chili sauce, chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pimientos, green chiles, beer, vinegar, and hot pepper sauce (if using). Add black pepper. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for five minutes. Add the cilantro, cover and simmer for an additional five minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water. At this point, you can reduce the heat to low and keep warm, covered. 3. To serve, place the tortilla chips on a large serving platter. Pour the turkey mixture over the chips and immediately sprinkle on the cheese, allowing the heat from the mixture to melt the cheese. Sprinkle on the jalapeos. Offer the sour cream on the side.
