By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer About 600 area swimmers competed in the 2007 Southern Maryland Swim League Invitational Championship at the Wildewood pool July 28. The meet began early Saturday, after the annual Carol Serb Award was given out to one member of each of the six teams that displays the best sportsmanship. The award recipients this year were Cameron Paul (Wildewood Marlins,) Jamie Branaman (Great Mills Tritons,) Taylor Ulrich (Breton Bay Sea Devils,) Daniel Kraft (Elks,) Brooke Prince (Swan Point Stingrays,) and

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Rookies coach Jamie Tennyson says he has been looking for wins against Division I teams in the St. Marys County Womens Softball League all season long. Monday night at Chancellors Run, Tennyson got what he wished for, as his team upended Budweiser Select, 14-7. Ive been telling the girls all season long that the Rookies are a Division II team and were battling Division I teams all year, Tennyson said. We had a chance to pull it off tonight and we did.

Devin Bohanan (Town Creek Sharks). The Carol Serb award is one of the highlights every year, according to Wildewood coach Robbie Davis. The names of the award winners are kept very secret each year to build up the excitement. The kids dont know whos going to win the award, so its always a big surprise, said Davis, who has coached the Wildewood squad for nine years. The kids get excited to find out whos going to get it. Coaches pick one swimmer on their team to give the award to each year. Every team has its own criteria for the award, according to Susan ShanSee Swim Championship page B-

Ryken Rising: One Schools Journey to the Top in One of the Nations Best Athletic Conferences
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Just three years ago, the St. Marys Ryken Knights competed against other St. Marys County public schools such as Chopticon, Great Mills and Leonardtown in the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference (SMAC). When the regular season was over, the Braves, Hornets and Raiders went on to the playoffs with hopes and dreams of maybe winning a state title. The Knights, on the other hand, hung up their uniforms and put another season in the books. Its not that the Knights didnt make the cut, but because they were the only private school in a public school athletic conference, Ryken was not allowed to compete in the post-season. Today, Ryken is in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) -- one of the strongest athletic conferences in the nation -- and it hasnt taken long for the Knights to establish themselves as one of the top teams in that conference. In a typical week, Ryken might go up against St. Johns College High School, Gonzaga College High School and DeMatha Catholic High School. All of these schools have had nationally ranked athletic teams in the past 10 years. DeMatha, most notably, has won 150 league titles

Ryken Rising
Continued from page B- Mathas boys lacrosse team won the league title. Enter Ryken Risers. In 2007, St. Marys took down DeMatha with a 13-12 win in the conference championship after winning 19 straight games. Several Knight graduates from the 2007 squad are going on to play at top-notch Division I programs in the fall. The softball team also made history as they went on to the conference championship for the first time in school history. The Knights ace pitcher, Amanda Hanson, will be attending Mount St. Marys University on a full ride. The mens basketball team had its best season in the conference in 2006-2007, going 16-11 and staying competitive against every team day in and day out. In January, the Knights took on DeMatha and lost by just three points in a home thriller. Star forward John Flowers, who led the team in scoring, will be playing basketball at West Virginia University in the fall. These are just a few examples of the strides St. Marys Ryken has made athletically in the WCAC. According to principal Rick Wood, the Knights have earned a reputation in the league as the team to look out for in the next few years. Weve gotten to be known as the risers in the league, he said. I think because we play in such a competitive league, we step up to the level of competition. Because the Knights have the opportunity to take part in postseason play, athletes have higher goals and standards, Wood added. The players really enjoy being able to play in championship games, he said. Also, playing in these post-season games gives them more exposure to play at the college level. Other schools in the league are noticing that the Knights have quickly moved up the ranks. Their program is moving up very, very rapidly, said George Leftwich, Athletic Director at Archbishop Carroll High School, one of the twelve schools in the conference. Leftwich praised Danny Sancomb, coach of the boys basketball team and former athletic director. Dannys done a great job bringing them up with that. Theyre in the hunt now, added Leftwich. Sancomb recently took a different position at Ryken and gave up the Athletic Directors role to Michael Vosburgh, who will also serve as an assistant coach for the new football team. Still, Sancomb will continue to coach the boys basketball team. We look forward to bringing [Vosburgh] on, Wood said. Hes coached college for many years and he also taught college courses. He basically taught ADs to be ADs, so hes going to be a good addition to the staff. As the Knights continue to move up the ranks, they also have plans to build their athletic program. Last season, Ryken expanded their number of teams by starting up a freshman football team. This year, they will also have a junior varsity team, and by 2008, they hope to have a varsity team with a full WCAC schedule. Weve had more participation than we ever imagined, Wood said. We thought about 30 boys would come out for the freshman team last year, but there were about 40. This year, close to 90 showed up, so its been very positive. In its first season in the WCAC, the boys basketball team didnt win a single game in conference play. Two years later, the Knights were handing out losses to some of Maryland, D.C. and Virginias top basketball teams. Wood hopes that the football team can have similar results. Im going to be very optimistic we want to be very competitive, he said. We aimed high in other sports and we achieved a lot of goals, and we want to aim high with the football program as well.

Rookie Win
Continued from page B- The Rookies came out of the gates hitting and didnt let up until the final out was made. In the top of the first, the visiting Rookies jumped on the scoreboard with backto-back triples by Judi Tennyson and Heather Quade. Melanie Guy drove in Quade with single to put the Rookies up 2-0. The Rookies defense came up big all night as well, and they headed into the second inning without giving up a run. In the top of the second, they added to their lead with an RBI single by Judi Tennyson. Budweiser Select managed to keep the game close by driving in two runs in the bottom half of the second. Brenda Wolcott led off with a stand up triple, and was driven home on a single by Kristy Kyle. Lisa Quill later singled to center, driving in Karen Macrae. Budweiser Select then turned on their defensive game, forcing the Rookies into a three-up-three down third inning. Riding a wave of momentum, Budweiser Select took a short-lived lead in the bottom of the third. Kristine Mattingley got things sparked Budweiser Select with a two-out double to left, which was followed by a single from Abell, putting runners at the corners. Wolcott then knocked an RBI single, and Kyle hit a two RBI double, putting Budweiser Select up 6-3. Budweisers only lead of the game was quickly lost in the fourth inning, as the Rookie bats heated up again. Mindy Morris was walked to start off the inning, and then moved to third on a single by Edi Hood. April Tennyson then loaded the bases with a basehit of her own. With the top of the lineup coming up to bat, the Rookies were in good shape to take the lead back. The next batter, Stacey Hill was also walked, scoring a run. Tonight wasnt our best

night pitching, Budweiser Select coach George Delaney said. If our pitcher throws two or three walks in a game, thats a lot. Tonight she must have had about 10 walks. As Budweiser struggled on the mound, the Rookies took advantage, adding two more runs on RBI singles from Leanna Mayor and Guy. Budweiser cut their deficit to one run in the bottom of the fourth, but the Rookies made their move and started pulling away in the top of the fifth. They tallied four runs to take an 11-6 lead. Amanda Bearden started the inning off with a single down the right field line, which was followed by a single from Morris. Bearden tagged up and moved to third on a deep fly ball, to put runners at the corners. April Tennyson and Hill hit consecutive singles, adding another run to the scoreboard. With the bases loaded, Mayor knocked in an RBI single and

Judi Tennyson got a two RBI double. The Rookies continued their strong defensive play for the remainder of the game as they managed to shake Budweiser Select off their heels. According to Jamie Tennyson, the key was playing staying focused on the fundamentals of the game. The girls played fundamental softball, he said. They werent making any mistakes, they kept the ball in front of them and they just stuck to the basics of the game. With two outs on them in the top of the sixth, the Rookies were still able to put two more runs on the board, with Hood, April Tennyson and Hill all contributing offensively. We scored a lot of runs on two outs, Jamie Tennyson said. I think we had about six runs on two outs in the game. When you get those, thats a big plus. Jessica Guy drove in the Rookies last run of the game for the 14-7 final. The Rookies made several tough defensive plays -- a 6-4-3 double play and a line drive snag by Bearden -- toward the end of the game to keep Budweiser Select from coming back. We played seven innings of softball tonight, said Jamie Tennyson. That was the key. The Rookies improve to 11-8 with the win while Budweiser Select is 14-4. We got in the mode tonight that we werent going to have to execute to beat them. We were just going to go in and win, said Delaney. But theyre a pretty decent team and they hit the ball well. Both teams have four games remaining in the season. The Rookies will play all Division II teams as the season winds down.

The County Times

stage winner, it was the overall winner, Floyd Landis. Nowadays, its about keeping it real, but whatever happened to keeping it right? Where did the dignity go? Where did all the good people go? Where did all the Cal Ripkens go? Well, theres only one Cal Ripken and there will only ever be one Cal Ripken. But maybe some of the athletes (and officials) that Ive mentioned should look at the Iron Mans career for some pointers. On Sunday, in Cooperstown, New York, Ripken and Tony Gwynn (an eight time batting champion) were inducted into the Hall of Fame in front of an estimated 75,000 people -- the largest crowd to ever attend induction day. 75,000 people!!! Thats about six times the attendance at a D.C. United game -- just to watch a couple old baseball players give speeches!?! Not exactly, Gwynn and Ripken are arguably two of the most classy and hard working guys to ever play the game of baseball. Ripken played 21 years in the league and didnt miss a game for 16 consecutive seasons, setting a new record of 2,632 games played in a row. Talk about work ethic! I always looked at it as showing up to work everyday, he said in his speech. My prediction is, Ripkens record will never be broken. Its one of the few records that will never require an asterisk next to it. During Ripkens 21 years in the league, there was never a single story in the news about Ripken getting a D.U.I, taking steroids, or fighting pitbulls. Thats because -- unlike many athletes these days -Ripken knew that, as a professional athlete, a lot of young eyes would be watching him.

Section B - 
In his speech at the Hall of Fame induction Sunday, Ripken said, Whether we like it or not, as big leaguers, we are role models. The only question is, Will it be positive or negative? This is a question that not enough athletes are asking themselves these days. Ripken is constantly digging into his pocket to make donations to research Lou Gehrigs disease. Along with his brother, he formed the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, which gives underprivileged children the chance to attend baseball camps. Cal Ripken gave his best effort on the field and he gives his best effort off the field. In his speech, Ripken also said, We are the ambassadors for the future. We should all try to make this world a better place for the next generation. Call me up when Barry Bonds says that.

In the Knowl
A Class Act in Keeping it Right
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer These days, it seems like the only news coming from the sports world is bad news. Atlanta quarterback Michael Vick is in trouble with the law for his alleged involvement in a huge dog-fighting ring. As I write this, Barry Bonds is one home run away from tying Hank Aarons all-time home run record, but everyone knows that the San Francisco slugger took steroids. The basketball world recently found out that one of the NBAs referees was gambling on games that he officiated and intentionally made bad calls to affect the outcome of those games. Every year in the Tour de France, one of the stage winners gets busted for doping. Last year, it wasnt just one As long as the kids are having fun, thats what its all about, she said. Top finishers on each team are also awarded ribbons, another highlight of the meet, according to Mancini. We give out a lot of ribbons and the kids get really excited about that. Its a big confidence booster and they really enjoy it, she said. The meet was broken up into five sessions: butterfly, backstroke, individual medley, freestyle, and breaststroke, which included several heats for different age groups, which range from five to 17. We set two goals for the kids, Davis said. One of them is to get your best time in each event and the other is to win your heat, which is a big deal. If you win your heat, that means youve really competed well against the people around you. This years meet had several record breaking performances, including five new records being set by Dean Pinno from the Town Creek Swim

Swim Championship
Continued from page B- non, a Breton Bay parent representative, but every year the award has been given to a swimmer who exemplifies sportsmanship and fair play at practice and at swim meets. The award speaks more to the type of person the swimmer is rather than to the type of athlete he or she is, she said. This year, Davis chose Cameron Paul for his sportsmanship, team spirit, and overall effort, among other things. Hes one of the leaders of our team and the boys look up to him, Davis said of Paul. He works hard at practice and hes a role model for the younger boys. Town Creek coach Laura Mancini gave the award to Devin Bohanan. I wanted to recognize Devin because he always helps out and he always puts in his best effort, Mancini said. He never gives his second best. He always goes 100 percent. While team scores are not calculated at the end of the meet, the competition in the pool is at the highest level of the summer. The six teams have been competing against each other all summer in preparation for the championship meet. Each team competes against the other five teams twice, adding up to 12 dual meets. During the season, there is also one fun relay meet, one Coaches Age Group Meet (generally for beginning swimmers) and the Invitational, which is for swimmers that have competed in at least two events without getting disqualified. Its really great to see the kids who have worked hard all summer to come here and do well, Davis said. Mancini added that the meet is also a great chance for her team to come together.

Team in the Boys 8 & Under category. Pinno, the younger brother of a second-team AllMet swimmer from Leonardtown (now at Towson,) broke records in the 25 yard backstroke, 25 yard freestyle, 25 yard butterfly, 25 m freestyle, and the 25 m butterfly. Ive been feeling good, Pinno said. My brother is a swimmer so I take all the credit off of him. Ive been

swimming for five years. My favorite stroke is the butterfly but my best stroke is the freestyle. Pinnos teammate Chris Kahl also had a record breaking performance, winning the Boys 9-10 50 m freestyle in a time of 35.06. Im just happy, Kahl said after the 50m freestyle. If I get first in the 25m breaststroke, Ill get all first

place ribbons. Im pretty excited about the record, Im used to getting first, so when I get second, it makes me work harder. Two more records were set in the meet. Mairyn Branaman of the Triton Swim Team took first in the 50 yard freestyle and the 50 yard butterfly in the Girls 9-10 age group.

Completed Student Participation in Interscholastic Athletics Form (parent consent form) By Tim Flaherty SMSA Publicity Governor St. Marys county had a good showing at last weeks Screwpile Lighthouse Challenge sailing regatta. The three-day event was sailed in breezy conditions July 22nd 24th in the Chesapeake Bay between Cedar Point and Cove Point. Screwpile, as it is called by the sailors, is put on annually by the Solomons-based Southern Maryland Sailing Association for keel boats twenty-two feet in length and up. Quite a few of the locals actually forgo sailing in order to volunteer as race officials or work in other jobs supporting the event. However, several sailors who did compete made the local organization proud. John Edwards of California skippered his J-29 Rhumb Punch to a second place finish in he PHRF 7 class. Edwards and Rhumb Punch had their class in four straight Screwpiles leading up to last year. The boat also finished second-in-class in 2006. This year Rhumb Punch was grouped in the PHRF-7 handicap class with several Tripp 26s, a lightweight boat known for its downwind surfing capabilities. App-arrent Tripp, a boat from Annapolis, narrowly beat Rhumb Punch in the final class standings. Edwards said strong winds throughout the regatta helped App-arrent Tripp. They are very good, have good crew work. We just couldnt keep them off our backs in a breeze, he said, adding that a Tripp 26 surfs better in windy conditions than a J-29. Another St. Marys boat with a strong showing was Bob, a Colgate 26 captained by Mike Ironmonger of Dameron. Bob lost the competitive PHRF-9 class to Horizon from Alexandria, Va. Terry Wanners Iretsu finished second in the non-spinnaker division. Iretsu is a Beneteau First 42. Wanner lives in California. Little Lattitudes, an Antrim 27 sailed by Jeff and Donna Moore of Hollywood, missed a third-place finish in PHRF-5 by just a few points. A total of 117 boats actually made it to the starting line for the first race a week ago

Fishing Report
By Emily Finch Contributing Writer The fish in Southern Maryland are biting. Croaker and bluefish are in abundance in both the Patuxent and Potomac Rivers. Most croakers being caught are between 10-15 inches and are found at Three-Legged Bowie and around the naval base. Bluefish are weighing in at an average of five to six pounds from Cedar Point, Ships Channel and the Point Lookout pier. Trollers using smaller, lighter rigs are catching more Rockfish between Calvert Cliffs and the Gas Docks, but surfcasters are getting a good amount of bites from rocks off of Cedar Point Hollow and Goose Creek. Larger rockfish, some up to 30 inches, are being found at the mouth of Coan River and around St. Georges 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. Large-sized Flounder have been caught at Corn Harbor and Cedar Point. Ships Channel has also proved itself as a nice place for minnow drifters to catch flounders in excess of 20 inches. 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. The Gas Docks and the entire Patuxent River are great places to fish for Spot. Half Pone Point, Little Cove Point and Cove Point are also producing plentiful spot for fishers. Although mostly smaller in size, regulation bass can always be caught at St. Marys Lake.

Sunday. About 100 of those craft came from out-of-town to compete, but at least two dozen boats had some St. Marys countians as crewmembers. The regatta was headquartered at the Solomons Holiday Inn Select, and for three nights the hotel hosted post-race parties and awards ceremonies. LG Raley of Hollywood is the event Chairman. Id say it was the best Screwpile ever, Raley said after it was all over. The Holiday Inn loved it so much, they want to do it again. Weve already been invited back. This year marked the 15th running of Screwpile. For the first 13 years, Zahnisers Yachting Center in Solomons hosted the parties and awards ceremonies. By last year, the regatta had become too large for Zahnisers to handle, and the party tent and awards were relegated to the Holiday Inn parking lot. This year the courtyard near the swimming pool was utilized. Complete race results can be found at www.screwpile.net.

Her puppet show All Creatures Great and Small had both children and adults enthusiastic and eager to participate. By courtesy of the St. Marys County Library children of all ages had something positive and fun to do Monday afternoon. Families gathered in the church auditorium as Jacobs took on the role of different characters and animals throughout her performance. A few lucky audience members got to be apart of the show as well. Volunteers were given their own puppet to bring to life and become. (Even the parents gave a helping hand) It was obvious the effect Jacobs had on the audience; each child was thoroughly curious and cooperative as her storytelling unraveled. But who is this Kathleen

Pathways Implements National Practice to Improve Lives Of Adults With Mental Illnesses
Pathways, a private, nonprofit organization based in St. Marys County that provides behavioral health services in Southern Maryland has implemented a nationally recognized model of practice with proven ability to improve the lives of adults with a mental illness. This initiative is part of a continuing effort to improve services to persons in need. The model, referred to as Illness Management and Recovery, or IMR, is one of six evidencebased practice models endorsed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services. Evidence-based practices are those research has demonstrated to be effective. IMR is an approach that helps people set meaningful goals for themselves, acquire information and skills to develop more mastery over their psychiatric illness, and make progress toward their own personal recovery. Harry Cunningham, LICSW, Director of Consultation and Education at The Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester New Hampshire and a national consultant in the development and management of Evidence-Based Practices, was hired to conduct a two-day training for staff. Mr. Cunningham remarked that Pathways employees were active and motivated in learning a behavioral health care strategy that positions the agency as a leader with this model in the state of Maryland. One of the major characteristics that distinguish Illness Management and Recovery from other more traditional behavioral health practices is the strong message of hope and personal empowerment delivered to the person with the psychiatric illness.

When Two Are Better Than One
While we may pride ourselves on how we pamper our pets, we may be denying them what they need the most-companionship of one of their own species. Most feline behaviorists agree that cats generally lead happier, healthier lives if there is another cat in the household. Even if the cats never become best friends, just sharing the house with another living creature while you are away helps to break the monotony and loneliness. If the cats should become playmates, there is the added benefit of exercise and entertainment most needed by kittens and young adult cats. Many cases of playful aggression directed toward the owner, as well as various forms of household destruction, can be prevented if the cats energies are focused on a playmate. Young males under two years old have an especially strong need for a buddy. Owners of rambunctious young cats may hesitate to take on another cat, but those that do are generally delighted to see how much the cats enjoy each other. This same theory applies to our canine friends as well. Its been said that a dog needs a dog to be dog. Dogs love to roughhouse with each other, playing and play-biting. This reinforces lessons learned from their moms when they were puppies. It helps them to keep a soft mouth when playing so no one gets hurt. So if you have a dog or cat that seems lonely, and there is room in your home and your

Sheriffs Office Win Accreditation

Emily Finch Contributing Writer The St. Marys County Sheriffs Office is now nationally accredited by the countrys leading police certification agency. Sheriff Tim Cameron stood before a board of commissioners from the Commission for Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) in Montreal in Quebec, Canada this past weekend. Saturday morning we went before a panel of CALEA commissioners and Saturday night we were unanimously voted in, said Cameron. The board reviewed reports performed by CALEA assessors earlier this year and interviewed Cameron about the sheriffs department before voting. The reports were the result of an assessment that was completed this month. This included ride-alongs, public commentary, and staff interviews, among other things. When a mock assessment was held in December of last year, Deputy Chief Kevin Simpson of the Hinsdale, Ill. Police Department was one of the CALEA assessors inspecting the sheriffs department. Simpson said that we were very impressed with the personnel of the department and the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office looked promising in all other areas as well. Sheriff Cameron believes that this new certification makes the office more transparent to the public and its employees more accountable. With CALEA accreditation, we have to adhere to a set of notable best practices and prove it. This makes every employee accountable because there is now only one set of standards for everyone to follow, said Cameron. Having a single set of standards also makes it easier for the public to see and monitor what the sheriffs office is doing and not doing, and how well they are doing it. These standards will help maximize how [the Sheriffs Department] serves the public, in efficiency and effectiveness, said Cameron By receiving CALEA certification, all members of the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office must maintain these high standards for the department and themselves. The department is up for reaccredidation in three years, said Cameron, and at that time CALEA will send more assessors to collect proofs. According to Cameron, proofs are gathered by performing another assessment to make sure the department has been keeping everything in place and that we can prove it. All in all, the CALEA accreditation means the St. Marys County Sheriffs Department is one of the top police forces in the nation, and Cameron is optimistic that they can maintain that position in the future.

Tips for Throwing a Restaurant Party

Nearly everyone enjoys a good party. But few love cleaning up once the partys over. This is one reason party hosts often choose restaurants as their party locales. The chance to leave the cleaning to someone else proves too enticing. But before throwing your next get-together at a nearby restaurant, consider the following tips: Do your homework: Narrow down your list of potential locations and spend a day going to them and discussing party parameters with the restaurant managers. Such parameters include cost, possibility of renting a private room (or the entire restaurant, depending on party size), flexibility of menu (can items not on the menu be ordered in advance?), and arranging the date of the party. After these things have been discussed with each restaurants manager, you can make your decision. (Note: If youre having trouble finding a restaurant or getting recommendations from friends, consult a guidebook such as Zagats.) Get things in writing: Ask the restaurant manager to put your eventual agreement in writing. Nothing can ruin a party like squabbling over the bill at the end of the night. With spelled-out contract, youre sure to avoid any financial surprises. Send invitations: Invitations are necessary for a number of reasons. First of all, before making an agreement with the restaurant manager youll need to know a head count for guests. The number can be a ballpark figure, but invitations with an RSVP date will make calculating that estimate all the easier. Another reason for invitations is theyll help you establish a budget. For example, if 20 people will be attending but youd planned

on 40, you might be able to afford a fancier restaurant. However, if all 40 invitees plan to attend, youll need to consider that when shopping for a restaurant. Consider the staff: Many restaurants include gratuity in the bill for larger parties. However, restaurant staff typically work very hard when handling a larger group. Feel free to add more to the gratuity for exceptional service.

Kids Corner

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!
