Barker, Smith Rescue Knights in Season Opener
Knights Tower Over Great Mills

Height Advantage, Hustle Lifts Ryken to Victory
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN For 32 minutes on Friday night, friendships and pleasantries went out the window. After that, hugs, smiles and embraces were plentiful, but only the St. Marys Ryken girls basketball team was pleased with the outcome; a 63-52 season opening win over Great Mills that pumped up the young Knights and may have served as a rude awakening for the defending 3A South Champion Hornets. There are a lot of things to work on, said Hornets head coach Brian Weisner. Maybe its a wake-up call for our girls that, hey, we just cant walk into a gym and expect to win. The girls played hard, I think this was a great first outing for both teams, Knights coach Tara Everly said. A lot of players stepped up for us in this game, and I dont think you can ask for a better first Photo By Chris Stevens night.

Griffin Keeps Seahawks Perfect

Junior Guards 31 Points Silence Marymount
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer ST. MARYS CITY On the court Saturday night, Camontae Griffin reveled in the chants of Iverson from the St. Marys College student section, scoring at will and frustrating any Marymount University defender trying to at least slow the 5-foot-9 guard down. Yet, after the ARC Arena cleared out following the nationally-ranked Seahawks 76-67 victory over the Saints, Griffin was decidedly subdued and humbled by the support hes received from the SMC community since joining the team this season. Im just worried about helping my team out, Griffin said after his 25-point second half helped keep St. Marys undefeated. I dont want to disappoint my team, Im here for them. With the Seahawks, ranked number 14 nationally by D3Hoops.com, in a dogfight with the Saints (4-3 overall, 1-1 in Capital Athletic Conference play), Griffin scored 13 points in a decisive 21-12 second half run that opened up a 59-52 lead and propelled the Seahawks to victory. He connected on eight of 17 shots from the field and 14 of 17 from the free throw line for his season-high of 31 points. When he was getting those baskets, said head coach Chris Harney, he was getting them as a response to what Marymount was doing. Theyre a great team thats going to win some games this year, and Tae was remarkable tonight. When we need a big shot, were very confident in what Tae can do, said sophomore swingman Mike Fitzpatrick, who tied a season-high with 13 points. Hes a heck of a player. While Griffins scoring kept the Seahawks (7-0 overall, 2-0 in the CAC) in the game, it was Fitzpatricks drives to the hoop that put the game away for St. Marys. He capped the 21-12 burst with an up-and-under dunk that drew a thunderous ovation and in Harneys eyes, let conference observers know that Fitpatrick is more than just a See Mens Basketball page B-10

Sharp-Shooting Saints Cruise Past Seahawk Women

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer ST. MARYS CITY As far as second halves go, St. Marys College womens basketball coach Barb Bausch was pleased with the way the Seahawks stayed with Marymount University, ranked 15th nationally in NCAA Division III. It was just the Saints hot-shooting first half that doomed the Hawks in an 89-66 loss Saturday afternoon that started a one-month break in between games for SMC. We played very well in the second half, it was only a two-point game, Bausch said of the effort that saw them double their first half scoring total and at the very least, forced the Saints (5-0 overall, 2-0 in Capital Athletic Conference play) to work for their points. The thing is with that team, if you stop the drive, they have at least four players that can shoot the three-pointer, and you cant stop both. Try as they may, St. Marys simply could not stop Marymount from shooting a blistering 35 of 62 (56.5 percent) from the field for the game, led by senior guard Carolyn Rileys 22 points. The Saints seized control from the start, with a Meredith Levinson three-ball rocketing Marymount to a 14-2 lead just five minutes and 26 seconds into the contest. The Seahawks (2-6 overall, 1-1 in CAC action) would be within double digits just once in the game, as a Kiely Murphy three-pointer brought them to within 16-7 at the 13:09 mark of the first half, but the Saints just keep firing and hitting. Theyre averaging 80 points a game and shooting about 53 percent on the game, so we knew what they could do, Bausch said of Marymounts explosive offensive attack. We tried to make them take tough shots, and when they hit them, theres not much you can do. The Saints got 16 points from Riley and 10 from sophomore Kathleen Brown in the first half, as they went into the locker room with a 48-27 lead. Brown finished the game with 15 points, while Kathryn Wilson and Levinson joined Brown and Riley in double figures with 15 and 12 points respectively. See Seahwak Women page B-10

Things were crazy and Kai Smith was the glue, he held us together. I just had to keep my head in the game and my teammates heads in the game, said Smith, who scored 17 points in the contest, and along with Barker played a critical role after R.J. Buck, Gorkhan Sonmez and Gorkin Siran fouled out in the final frame. We had to step up and make the shots when the starters had foul trouble.

in their Ryken debuts, with Sonmezs 12 first quarter points (he led the team with 22 points overall) jumpstarting the Knights to an 11 point lead at intermission. The Trainers (0-2 on the season), led by Antonio Jenifers 22 points, clawed back into the game, shrinking the lead to double digits several times before two free throws by Deon Matthews and late lay-ups by Smith and Barker put the game away. I had to get on Kamaron a little bit at halftime, because we didnt feel he was doing what we needed on the boards, Tallman explained. He took what we told him, and went out and did the job in the second half. I just played hard and stepped up for the players who had to step out, said Barker, who scored nine of his 13 points down the stretch when the Knights needed points the most. We just have to stay focused and play the game, and play hard as a team. With Siran, Buck and Sonmez fouling out in a threeminute span, the Trainers made their run as an Anthony Myers tip-in shrunk the lead to 51-43 with just under six minutes to go in the game. McKinleys determined challenge was held off by Smith and Barkers combined 19 fourth quarter points, as

The tall and athletic Trainers served as an earlyseason test for the Knights and Tallman, who believe McKinley is as good as anyone they will see once they begin their conference schedule later this week.

That team we played was a very good team, and I was proud of my guys for keeping their composure.

When youre playing with your friends, you want to go hard, Leddy explained of the rough and tumble style of play that prevailed on the evening. Everyone was so aggressive, it was definitely a fun and exciting game. The Knights led from start to finish, but really did not put the game away until late in the third quarter. The Hornets, led by 11 points each from Shamara Adams and Shawnese Taylor, got to within four points twice in the period, but a final minute burst, with baskets from Grund, Leddy, and a running, twisting short jumper by Hunter, pushed the lead back to 12. Then the Knights kept Great Mills, who got nine points from Ryshawn Butler and eight from Tori Bradburn, at bay for the final eight minutes, a quarter that Weisner hoped his team could Photo By Chris Stevens learn from as they traveled to games at River Tyneshia Baker leads the break for Great Mills during Hill and Henry Wise later this week.

Tis The Season To Be Jolly Really, It Is
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer The trick to this wonderful holiday season is that for some folks, wellits not so wonderful. With the economy in full decline, seasonal depression is at an all time high, and understandably so. However, for those of us fortunate enough to wake up and see another day in relatively good health (if youll remember my column in the spring time about my good friends bout with Diabetes, I take that into consideration on the daily), we should be grateful that were alive to perhaps see or even enforce changes that will make our lives better. So, there is a wonderful gift right there. Good old Santa Chris a.k.a Saint Huck (college nickname, dont ask) is here to give out presents, goodies, and yes, lumps of coal to all of your favorite sports teams and newsmakers this Christmas season. Digging into my big red bag, I have the timeless book, How to win friends and influence people, and its for you, Jim Zorn. Sir, you are going to need it. In a game the Redskins simply had to have, you let the second-leading rusher in the National Football League sit on the sidelines as the Ravens may very well have put the Skins out of their misery. You will need this book to convince the players that you actually have a clue as to how to be an NFL coach and win games. As an extension, I give to Clinton Portis a one-time pass to criticize Zorn for leaving the decision up to running backs coach Stump Mitchell whether Portis shouldve played the entire second half Sunday night. Use it wisely Clinton, and try to stay away from the dog-fighting comments this year. What else do we have? Ho ho ho, it looks like Ive got a lump of coal for one Plaxico Burress. What a naughty boy youve been, young Plax. First, you hold out for more dollars, trying to capitalize on your Super Bowl-winning touchdown catch. Then you skip team meetings and get suspended for a game, but oh no, that wasnt enough. You shoot yourself in a New York nightclub and now face some serious time behind bars. I believe Santa Bloomberg looks forward to making an example out of you with NYCs new gun control laws, so hopefully, you spent Black Friday looking for a good lawyer. For the four NBA coaches that have been fired as of the day Im handing out these gifts, I offer them condolences and a look on the bright side. For former Toronto Raptors coach Sam Mitchell, I offer you a thought that you should use if you get another job in the league an arrogant fool and his job are soon parted. Sure off-season acquisition Jermaine ONeal injured his knee earlier this year, but you failed to capitalize on having one of the top young big men in the game in Chris Bosh, who will certainly bolt for the New York Knicks once his contract expires in 2010. Not listening to your players or your assistant coaches on how to better manage a young but talented team will certainly get you the boot every time. For ex-Wizards boss Eddie Jordan, the best thing of all for you, my man, is no more Gilbert Arenas. Having to deal with an ego-maniacal shooting guard that cant even keep his knees in shape to start a season, and an inept front office that has drafted useless big men and more shooting guards than the Texas Rangers definitely didnt help your cause as the Wiz started 1-10 this season. Oh well, theres always a better job somewhere. Maybe Toronto. I hear theyre looking for a coach. For departed Oklahoma City Thunder (for those wondering when OKC got an NBA team, this particular group of misfits used to be the Seattle Supersonics) Coach P.J. Carliesimo, theres always this great fact: You werent choked by any players on your way out the door.
Finally, for Minnesota Timberwolves coach Randy Wittman, who was fired Monday afternoon, the bright side for you is that T-Wolves head honcho Kevin McHale will soon be following you in the unemployment line. You can then rip him for trading O.J. Mayo on draft day this past summer and ignoring the Portland Trailblazers rising star Brandon Roy a couple of draft days prior. For disgraced track and field star Marion Jones, Ive got some common sense for you, young lady. How can you ask for a pardon from outgoing president George W. Bush, when you LIED about your performance enhancing drug use, only to plead guilty in a court of law and spend six months in a federal prison? If Sammy Davis, Jr. is playing up in Heaven, I can hear him singing nowdont do the crime if you cant do the time, oh no For Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, you get a one-way ticket out of Philadelphia, redeemable in places such as Minneapolis, Chicago and San Francisco. For all that youve given the Eagles franchise over the last 10 seasons, and to receive the treatment from the fans, the media and your own team that youve received is horrible. Therefore, you deserve a trade to either the up and coming Vikings, the desperate-for-a-leader 49ers, or your hometown Chicago Bears. That way, the world can understand that you still are a top-five quarterback in the NFL and that Andy Reid should have dealt with his drug-smuggling sons instead of putting the pressure all on your shoulders as his epic-fail play-calling might have knocked the Eagles out of the playoffs for another year. For Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops and Florida head man Urban Meyer, you two lucky young gentlemen get the right to face-off for the most meaningless national title in major college sports. To be fair, both of you won your conference championship games against strong and worthy opponents,
but as long as a computer decides who gets to play for major college footballs national championship, its about as weak as an O.J. Simpson innocent plea right about now. While it would take a Christmas miracle for a Division I-A college football playoff to occur in the future, I give shame to the NCAA and the Major College Conference presidents who let their overriding greed rob America of a true national champion.
Although, I must admit, it has not worked yet if were still deciding championship participants by keystrokes and outdated formulas. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Christmas Spirit at the St. Marys County Courthouse The Koenigs

Santas little helpers have once again arrived at the St. Marys County Circuit Courthouse to spread the Christmas spirit. This is more than just a gesture of holiday cheer; it is a love story, for Santas little helpers are Dave and Mandy Koenig. Dave is a Security Specialist with the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office assigned to Courthouse Security and Mandy is a Legal Assistant II with the St. Marys County States Attorneys Office, Child Support Enforcement Division. Dave and Mandy met in the St. Marys County Circuit Courthouse lobby in January of 1995. They went on their first date April 29, 1995 and were married two years later on April 29, 1997 by the Clerk of the Court, Sarah Woodburn. For the past six (6) years, Dave and Mandy have arrived before dawn and/or stayed past dusk to decorate the front lobby of St. Marys County Circuit Courthouse with Christmas lights, a Christmas tree, wreaths, red bows, a giant Santa Claus and packages. The decorations were acquired through donations made by the St. Marys County Circuit Court Clerks Office, States Attorneys Office, Circuit Court Judge s Chambers, various local law offices and personal donations. Daves and Mandys co-workers report that the Koenigs are just like big kids with huge hearts. Each year the Koenigs add a little something extra to the decorations. This year the Koenigs are asking co-workers to bring in photographs of their children and grandchildren in the holiday spirit to decorate a lobby door, and Dave is in the process of trying to decorate the glass partition in the front lobby with a giant candy cane. Candy canes See The Koenigs page B-6 lives and the lives of the others who may be on the road: Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin; Before drinking, please designate a sober driver and give that person your keys; If youre impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation so you are sure to get home safely; Ask your bartender - St. Marys County Highway Safety offers Tipsy Taxi sober ride program offering FREE taxi rides home; If you are military contact the base duty officer or your barrack for a sober ride; If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, dont hesitate to contact your local law enforcement; And remember, if you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely. Remember, our community members killed in crashes involving impaired drivers represent loved ones, family members, friends and co-workers whose memories deserve to be honored throughout the entire year. St. Marys County will preserve the memory of impaired driving victims and will work diligently to eliminate incidents of drunk driving. Saving lives on our roads is a top priority and we need everyones help to do it, LT. Michael Thompson, Maryland State Police Leonardtown. This holiday season; dont let your year end in an arrestor even worse, death. Make smart decisions. Plan ahead, so you can assure a safe way home. Whether youve had way too many or just one too many, its not worth the risk. If youre over the limit, youll be under arrest.

Walden Offers Crisis Support During Holiday Season

The holiday season can be a time of greater stress for many people. Walden/Sierra would like to remind members of the Southern Maryland community that its crisis hotline is available 24 hours a day to provide confidential help and support. Walk-in services are also provided at several locations in St. Marys County, including Waldens California, Leonardtown and Charlotte Hall offices. Heightened stress can result from a variety of difficult personal, financial and family issues around the holidays. The need for crisis intervention, counseling and referrals to other community resources is often greater this time of the year. Waldens hotline counselors help individuals facing depression, family violence, substance abuse, homelessness and more. Emergency assistance and trauma counseling are also available to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. To reach the Walden hotline, call 301-863-6661. Walden/Sierra is a nonprofit behavioral health agency that has been providing comprehensive substance abuse treatment, crisis intervention and trauma counseling services for St. Marys County and surrounding communities since 1973. The 24-hour crisis hotline is sponsored by the St. Marys County Government.
Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving

The holiday season can be one of the deadliest and most dangerous times of the year due to an increase in impaired driving. Impaired drivers are a danger on our Countys roadways and have claimed the lives of more than 2,000 people in the State of Maryland since 1998. Thats why St. Marys County Highway Safety, including St. Marys County Sheriffs Office, Maryland State Police Leonardtown, Department of Natural Resources Police and DOD Police are joining with National, State and local highway safety officials to remind everyone who will be celebrating during the Holidays that Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving and to never forget to plan a safe way home before the festivities begin. Expect to see more officers on the roadways looking for impaired drivers, during routine patrols, saturation patrols and conducting sobriety checkpoints. Officers will also be continuing their partnership with licensed establishments conducting Cops in Shops, a Century Council program, looking for persons underage attempting to purchase alcohol and adults furnishing alcohol for persons under the age of 21. The consumption of alcohol, drugs and driving just dont mix, said Tim Cameron, Sheriff, St. Marys County Sheriffs Office. Whether youve had way too many or just one too many, its not worth the risk of killing yourself or someone else. Dont ever get behind a wheel of a vehicle when you are impaired. There has been an increase in partnerships over the past years to address and raise awareness to prevent impaired driving. Look for tree tags with impaired driving messages and safe driving tips at various locations on Christmas trees. Check with bartenders when needed about the Tipsy Taxi or other sober ride programs. Military personnel should contact the duty officer or barrack staff if a sober ride is needed. Variable Messaging Signs will be used throughout the county during the Holiday season reminding the public not to drive impaired. Following these easy steps, drivers can enjoy a safe and festive holiday without jeopardizing their

By Gabrielle Cory Chaptico Chargers 4-H Club Reporter Our 4-H club the Chaptico Chargers saw that many of the soup kitchens were in need of food to give the many local families in needs. So we decided at our October club meeting to pitch in and help the Our Lady of the Wayside Soup Kitchen in Chaptico, Maryland. So on October 20th our club went to BJs to buy some things for the soup kitchen. We bought many canned goods such as vegetables, ravioli, spaghetios, canned pie mix, and
canned fruit. We also brought many noodles and cereals, Vienna sausages, pudding, juice, peanut butter and jelly. We delivered the food on October 21 to the soup kitchen to Mr. Dennis Cantwell and Mrs. Mary Lou Gough volunteers at the soup kitchen who were there to receive our donation. The volunteers at the soup kitchen were very thankful for the donation of food and said we had replenished the stock of many items they didnt have available. Those who come to the food bank will be happy to have a variety of items to receive. We really enjoyed doing this and hope to do something like it in the future.

Four arrested for weapons violations

On December 6, 2008 at 3:03 a.m. Cpl. Grumbles observed and stopped a silver Chevy Tahoe at Three Notch Road and Blimpies in Lexington Park for operating in a suspicious manner. Grumbles noticed the four occupants moving around inside prior to and during the stop. Other deputies arrived on the scene to assist. The driver was identified as Malcolm Omega Reynolds, 27, of Coltons Point. Investigation revealed Reynolds was operating a vehicle while allegedly under the influence of alcohol and subsequently arrested. A female passenger, identified as Tosha Denise Gallagher, 30, of Fort Meade, became very uncooperative and disorderly, according to police.

The search revealed a loaded 12-gauge shotgun and a loaded 9mm pistol within the reach of the occupants of the vehicle. Bureau of Criminal Investigations, Vice / Narcotics, and Assistant States Attorney Daniel White were contacted and apprised of the situation. White responded to the scene. The firearms were seized, the vehicle was stored and all four occupants arrested. The suspects were charged as follows: Reynolds: Driving under the influence of alcohol, handgun in vehicle, illegal possession of a regulated firearm, and two counts having a concealed weapon.

Continued from page B- three-point threat. Hes really matured this season compared to last year, when he was still figuring things out, Harney said. Weve known that hes a great shooter, but the drives to the hoop kind of put the league on notice that hes not just a catch and shoot guy. SMC jumped out to a 2512 cushion early in the first half, but the Saints, led by the bruising frontcourt tandem of Mike Gray and Sam Sentz, closed the lead to just three points at halftime. Then, fresh-

points and pulled down eight rebounds, put the Seahawks ahead to stay on a short jumper over Sentz at the 10:02 mark. Then Griffin and Fitzpatrick combined for 24 of SMCs final 26 points, which was enough to continue the best start in team history. Being the defending conference champions and a nationally ranked team early this season, the Seahawks know they have a bulls eye painted on their backs. But, they are also aware that teamwork and confidence in each other are the keys if they plan to make it back to the NCAA Division III tournament this coming March. Everybody knows their role, Griffin said of the teams execution of Harneys game plan so far. We just play to our strengths, and we know what weve got to do to win. I dont know if Im ready to crown us as a DIII power, Chris Harney said with a cautious grin. But we are making strides.

sophomore point guard Jamie Roberts pitched in a season-high 14 points and Murphy added 10. The Seahawks were only outscored 41-39 in the second half, a development that Bausch sees as cause for optimism for a team that is
just starting to get used to playing with one another. We play against teams with lesser experience and we didnt execute very well, she explained. We executed very well against the Number 15 team in the country and Im very happy with that. In what could be a blessing for SMC, they will have ample time to improve several facets of their game and get Saturdays contest out of their system they wont step on the court again until Jan. 5, when they host Misericordia College in a non-conference game. We can use it to our advantage to get everyone some experience and fix everything that we need to work on, Bausch said of the four-week layoff.
