Chopticon Girls Hold Off Calvert

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer After Calvert High School scored first in Thursday afternoons Southern Maryland Athletic Conference girls lacrosse match, Chopticon head coach Judy Evans immediately called time and proceeded to give her players some sound words of advicein stereo. I just wanted them to get mentally focused, Evans said after the Braves got on track and came away with a soggy 8-6 victory over the Cavaliers at Chopticon High School. Senior midfielder Charlotte Butters led the charge with three goals and two assists while fellow senior Jessie Hall added two goals and two

Knights Handle Gonzaga

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer Tough non-conference schedules are big in the eyes of St. Marys Ryken boys lacrosse coach John Sothoron. Youre only as good as your competition, Sothoron said after his Knights defeated Washington Catholic Athletic Conference foe Gonzaga College High School 136 Friday afternoon in Washington, D.C. Those games helped us get ready for Gonzaga. Three of the Knights first five games were played against perennial powers in the state of Maryland, such as St. Marys of Annapolis, Landon and St. Albans. With conference play now in full swing, Sothoron thinks his team is ready to defend the WCAC title. [The schedule] is whats helped us; we are battle tested, he said. If you play a bunch of teams you can blow out, then it does nothing for you. Addison Goodleigh scored four goals to pace the Knights (3-3 overall, 1-0 WCAC) while Zack Angel See Ryken Lacrosse page B-3
LEONARDTOWN For six innings Friday afternoon, the Leonardtown baseball team struggled to mount any kind of offense against Northern High School. They were able to save their best for last, though; scoring all their runs in the bottom of the seventh and capturing a thrilling 3-2 win over the Patriots in Southern Maryland Athletic Conference baseball action. We wanted to take advantage of any mistakes [Northern] made, Raiders coach Ray Sapp said. It just seemed to have a snowball effect. Any win is a good win. The Raiders (5-2 overall, 30 SMAC) could get only two hits through their first six turns at bat. They picked up two in the seventh, and with the help of two Patriot throwing errors, they came away with their fifth straight win. The final rally started when Ryan Dishman reached on an error, and a wild pitch eventually sent him to third. He scored on a double by Brady Jameson, who came home to tie the game after Ryan Mercier laid down a bunt that was also thrown away by Northern (0-5 on the season). With the bases loaded and no outs recorded, junior second baseman John Porter slapped a single through the right side of the drawn-in infield and senior catcher Andrew Burgess trotted home for the game-winner. Before the dramatic seventh inning, the Raiders got solid pitching from seniors Kevin Miles and Artie Hinaman, who combined to strike out 11 Northern batters and walk only two. They did a great job of throwPhoto By Chris Stevens ing strikes today, Sapp said.

Yates Signs with Mount St. Marys

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer St. Marys Ryken boys lacrosse coach John Sothoron has a story he likes to tell, one that he feels sums up the personality and desire of senior attacker Kyle Yates. With a broken bone in his foot, Yates, who wasnt even a starter at the beginning of the 2007 season, scored three goals on three shots in the Knights Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship game win over DeMatha last season, making the Knights first time WCAC champions, not to mention the first team in a decade other than DeMatha to claim the league crown. He played in pain for weeks and never complained, Sothoron said admirably of Yates, who on Thursday signed a letter of intent to play college lacrosse at Mount St. Marys. Hes a hard worker and a pleasure to coach. Yates, who to date is the sixth Knight senior to sign a scholarship to play college lacrosse, credits the Ryken program with his success. Its really helped my level of play, Coach was there for the recruiting, so its really helped me out, he said. See Yates page B-3

I was hoping we got off to a good start, Sapp said, citing the fact that the Raiders won three games quickly last season and tailed off from that point. These guys are doing a lot more of the little things it takes to win. Its unbelievable were we are, Andrew Burgess added.

Season Overview
Continued from page B- Between bantering back and forth about high points and low points in the season, Weisner, the SMAC coach of the year and four of his players who earned all-conference honors (Ashley Lindsey, Megan Matheny, Corleda Naylor and Shamara Adams) were happy to talk about the recently-completed season, which saw them fighting for the state title on the campus of UMBC. Its a nice honor, but you dont get into coaching to win awards, Weisner said. My assistants have done a heck of a job, and the players are executing what you want done on the court. It was a pleasure to coach this team. Said team, led by Lindsey, the conferences Most Outstanding Player, won 24 games (losing just two) and appeared in the state semifinals for the first time since 1990. Lindsey, a senior forward, was modest about winning the award. I think I had a better year last year than this year, she said. I dont think I deserve it, but I was happy when I won it. The 2007-2008 season was the culmination of a building process, which Weisner says goes back to the 2005-2006 season when a team that featured three freshman and two sophomores as a starting unit won 12 games, a successful season in his eyes. We were so young, he explains, that I would take exception to anyone thinking it wasnt a success. Building a championship team from scratch evoked different feelings across the board. Great, said Adams. Phenomenal, added Corleda Naylor. Cool, Lindsey responded. I would say tiring, Weisner chimed in and the laughter began again. After winning the conference last year and losing to Largo in the regional final, the returning girls knew how they felt and didnt want to experience that feeling this season. We were like oh no, this is not happening again, said Adams, the teams leading scorer and starting point guard. Lindsey agreed. We

couldnt believe that was happening. We were tied at the half and the recollections of the game that got away began. With that in mind, Great Mills came back with a different focus and a relaxed relationship with their coach. Theyll tell you if they dont want to do a drill twice, so we had some brand new drills and some other ones that were beneficial, Weisner explains. If you do the same thing every day, they get bored, and I get bored. There was little boredom as the team won its first 21 games before dropping the regular season finale to Lackey, a bus ride home that Adams feels explains the teams unflappable confidence and belief in each other. We were singing on the ride home like we had just won the game, she said of the 55-38 defeat that the Hornets would avenge in the regional final just 10 days later. That game really defines our bond, we felt we were going to be alright. Matheny, one of six graduating seniors, feels that this season is one that she wont soon forget. You can never forget this experience, what weve accomplished, she said. Im going to come back and support the girls when I can. Naylor, the quiet starting forward with the seemingly un-blockable jump shot, agrees, adding that the girls she plays with arent just her teammates, these are like my sisters. With the historical season in the books, the returning players look forward to a new season, although they have a summer vacation and a few more marking periods in between time. I look forward to new challenges and new experiences, because every season, Shamara Adams says, theres something new.

fielder Wes Jackson, who missed two days of school with the flu, but helped the Knights defense limit the 8-2 Purple Eagles to just six goals after they defeated Bishop McNamara 17-0 April 2. This is the first big step towards winning the conference, Sothoron says. We knocked off one of the top teams in WCAC. This was huge for our kids.
Yates
Continued from page B- Yates chose Mount St. Marys (located in Emmitsburg, Md.) over Salisbury and Catholic University because he felt the school had a great lacrosse program, and
he also wanted to play Division I Lacrosse. He will get the opportunity to do so with his brother Ronnie as well as Justin Schmidt, a Ryken graduate who is currently a freshman on the Mountaineers roster. Yates feels he will bring an all-around everything to
Mount St. Marys, and his mother Terri agrees. Hes wanted to do this ever since he slept with his lacrosse helmet on the first night he got it, she said. Hes the kind of kid that can accomplish what he wants.

Young Drivers Program to Promote Safe Driving

Motor vehicle crashes continue to be the leading cause of death for persons 15-24 years of age. In an effort to change the driving behavior, thereby reducing the risks associated with young drivers, the National Safety Council developed Alive at 25. This program zeros in on these drivers. Alive at 25 is a highly interactive four-hour program which teaches young drivers how to take control of situations by taking responsibility for their own driving behavior. The National Safety Council, a leader in driver improvement training for more than 40 years, developed Alive at 25 to specifically target drivers in this age group. As part of efforts in Southern Maryland, Long and Foster of California, Maryland is hosting an Alive at 25 class on Saturday, April 12th beginning at 8 a.m. Registration is limited to 20 students and recent classes in Calvert County have sold out well in advance. There is a $50 registration fee. Call 301-862-3000 to pre-register. Since 1995, more than 400,000 young adults have learned life-saving defensive driving skills through Alive at 25. In a recent study by the Colorado State Patrol, 93% of Alive at 25 participants said they would change their driving behavior afterwards. Courts and schools nationwide, including Calvert County Courts in Maryland, utilize Alive at 25 in their graduated license and violator programs. This highly interactive four-hour program encourages young drivers between the ages of 16 and 24 to take responsibility for their driving behavior. Skill practices and on-the-spot defensive driving techniques help change bravado to confidence. Our Alive at 25 instructors use personal examples and even humor to get their point across. They use workbook exercises, interactive media segments, group discussions, role-playing, and short lectures to help young drivers develop convictions and strategies that will See Young Drivers Program page B-5

Every spring St. Marys bursts into bloom with this celebration of diverse sounds, colors, tastes and experiences, said Ashleigh Heck, Coordinator of Orientation and Service as well as coordinator of World Carnival. Its a time when students and community members really can come together for an unforgettable weekend.
Young Drivers Program

Continued from page B- keep them safer on the road. Alive at 25 teaches young adults that: People in their age group are more likely to be hurt or killed in a vehicle crash. Inexperience, distractions, and peer pressure cause unique driving hazards. Speeding, alcohol, and party drugs greatly increase their risk of injury or death. As a driver or passenger, they can greatly reduce their risk by taking control. Committing to changing their driving behavior makes personal, legal and financial sense. For more information on young driver safety programs, please contact Ms. Jacqueline M. Beckman at 301-475-4200 ext. 1850 or email jackie.beckman@co.saint-marys.md.us.

Yoga and Poetry Workshop Offered

Harmonize mind, body and spirit at the Yoga and Writing Workshop on Saturday, April 12. The event begins at 2 p.m. in the dance studio of Montgomery Hall on the St. Marys College of Maryland campus. It is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Michael Glaser at 240-895-4239. Like poetry, yoga uses description, metaphor, and other figurative vehicles to discover hidden or dormant parts of ourselves, inviting them out to play. Both yoga and poetry can illuminate pathways to feelings, memories, images and stories embedded within our tissues and help us reflect, heal, and build community. In this experiential workshop, there will be periods of actual yoga practice interspersed with time for writing. Participants are encouraged to dress accordingly and bring notebook, pen, yoga mat, and an open attitude. Beginners and seasoned practitioners of both yoga and writing are most welcome. The workshop will be led by Yael Flusberg, a Washington, D.C.-based author and community activist who has been creating prose and poetry for the last ten years. She sees her writing as a way to weave the personal and the spiritual with the symbolic and the political, exploring themes of memory, survival, and identity. Poetry in particular has been useful in helping me examine and integrate different aspects of my self because it can deal with complexity without needing to resolve it. Flusbergs creative work has been published in such journals as The Potomac Review, Lilith, and Gargoyle. In 1999, she cofounded Sol & Soul, a D.C.-based non-profit organization that seeks to bring together artists and community members in order to create, produce, and present artistic works with a social conscience. Flusbergs devotion to the arts extends beyond the written word. She also serves as president of the ClancyWorks Dance Company.

Head Halters-power Steering For Dogs
When you and your dog go out for an evening stroll, whos walking who? If your stroll looks more like your dog dragging you down the street, the Tri-County Animal Shelter wants you to know about a product that can make your walks more enjoyable. The product is called a head halter and can be found at most pet supply stores. Some brand names include Halti, Gentle Leader, and Promise Collar. For those of you that remember cars that didnt have power steering, head halters are like power steering for your dog. The head halter has a strap that goes over your dogs nose, and one that goes around his neck, right behind his ears. Your leash fastens to a ring under the dogs chin that also attaches to the nose strap. When your dog starts to pull, the head halter makes the dogs nose turn down and back towards you, which makes it hard for him to keep pulling forward. Its similar to how reins work on a horse. The head halter is considered by many national humane organizations as a humane method of restraint, since it doesnt cause pain and works much better than a choke chain or prong collar. It is important to keep in mind that any dog wearing a head halter can still bite, bark, pant, eat and drink. It is not a muzzle. A head halter must be fitted properly to your dog so it works effectively and is comfortable. Since there are pet supply stores that allow you to bring your pets inside, you may wish to take your pet with you when purchasing a head halter and ask a sales person for assistance. The neck strap should go as high up on the dogs neck as possible, right behind the ears. You should be able to get one finger between the neck strap and your dog. The nose strap should land just where the skin begins on your dogs nose when his mouth is closed, but not loose enough so it can slide off his nose. The metal ring where the leash attaches goes under the dogs chin. Your dog may not initially like wearing the head halter and may attempt to remove it. If you immediately take him

for a walk after you put the head halter on and bring a few treats, he will associate it with a positive experience. You should never leave a head halter on when youre not going for a walk, and you shouldnt use a retractable leash with a head halter. Dont use hard jerking motions when your dog wears a head halter, and dont let him run quickly to the end of his leash. With warm weather coming, get the most out of your walks with your dog. If you need assistance so you and your dog can walk as a team, consider a head halter.

Super Snakes
By Theresa Morr
What creature slithers and slides and comes in lots of different sizes and colors? You guessed it --- snakes! Some reptiles are really small, like the tiny Threadsnake found in the West Indies. This little guy could wiggle its way through your pencil if the lead were removed! But some snakes like the Green Anacondas are humongous by comparison. These dudes are scary looking, too, with thick, dark green bodies and black oval patches on their backs that help them blend in with their habitat, the South American jungles. Green Anacondas are the largest and most powerful snakes on earth. One of the biggest on record was estimated to weigh over 500 pounds, was almost 28 feet long and about 44 inches in muscular girth --- bigger around than most grown men. But early European explorers to these jungles reported seeing even larger snakes --- giant anacondas of up to 100 feet long. Thats about one-third the length of an average football field! Open wide. Green Anacondas are non-poisonous and belong to the boa constrictor family, meaning they constrict or suffocate their victims before swallowing them whole. With jumbo jaws that unhinge and ligaments that stretch like rubber bands, these guys can swallow prey much larger than the diameter of their mouths. So gulping down something bigger than their heads is like you swallowing a whole watermelon. Yikes! Water wrigglers. Anacondas are often called water boas because they love hanging out in the slow moving waters that feed into the Amazon and Orinoco rivers of South America. Like crocodiles, these super snakes have eyes and nostrils perched atop their heads while the rest of their bodies are submerged under water. The snake patiently waits for its victim to glide by, then with lightening speed, swallows the unfortunate fish, water bird, turtle, small snakes or alligator, or other mammal. When not hunting for prey in the water, these stealthy critters belly along the ground in nearby swamps, marshes, and brushes in search of a meal. But Green Anacondas are not earth or water bound. They slither up trees, dangle from branches, and wait for small deer, wild pigs, or other vulnerable creatures to pass beneath. The snake grips the animal with its powerful jaws, the coils its body around the victim until it suffocates. Sacking out. After eating, Green Anacondas are quiet and like to rest in sunny spots along a riverbank so everything can digest, which can take days or even weeks. In fact, the snake may not eat again for months. Since this
Sudoku
reptile can live anywhere from 10 to 30 years or more, that means the snake may eat just five times a year, or about 50 to 150 meals over a lifespan. Lucky for us humans, Green Anacondas seldom attack people, although theyve been reported to do so on occasion. Maybe were just not that tasty! And in case youre wondering, the Green Anaconda has another family member slithering around in South Americas rivers and swamps, too. Its the Yellow Anaconda, but this little fellow averages about 10 to 12 feet in length, a baby compared to its enormous green cousin. For more fascinating stuff about anacondas, go to http:// gosouthamerica.about.com/ cs/wildlife/l/blanajconda. htm. This site will also take you to more anaconda links.
Heres How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
