Hughesville Terp Stars Visit Local Camp Wins District 7 All Star Tourney
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer The Hughesville Junior Softball team defeated Northern Calvert 11-4 Monday night at Chancellors Run Park to take home the District 7 Junior Softball Tournament trophy and earning them a spot in the State Tournament. Hughesville, backed by a strong performance on the mound from pitcher Tori Willett and key defensive stops, piled up seven runs in the bottom of the second inning, four more in the third, and didnt look back. This is really exciting for us because we worked really hard to get to this point and hopefully we can go farther, said Willett. Hughesvilles big inning started when outfielder Alex Pikulskis grounder drove in a run and left runners at the corners. Nicole Donegan followed that with another RBI single, giving Hughesville a -0 advantage. Later in the inning, with two outs, Hughesville scored on a passed ball, and added See Hughesville Defeats Calvert page B-

Maryland Terrapin Landon Milbourne dunks over two campers at the Coach Harney Basketball School last week.

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Campers at Coach Harneys Basketball School at St. Marys College had an exciting visit last week from two University of Maryland basketball players, point guard Greivis Vasquez and forward Landon Milbourne. On Monday, star forward James Gist made an appearance at

the camp as well. Vasquez and Milbourne, who were both freshman on the Terp squad last season, showed up at the St. Marys College basketball arena Thursday suited and ready to play. They took turns playing quick pickup games with the campers and even put on a mini-dunk contest, arguably won by Milbourne, who leaped over two campers in the paint and threw

down a one-handed slam. On Monday, however, Gist topped Milbourne by jumping over five campers on his way to a dunk. While campers watched and played with the two Terrapin stars in awe, Milbourne said the students surprised him as well. I was very impressed with the See Terps Visit Campers page B-

CSM Announces Exciting Fall Schedule

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer The College of Southern Maryland is in for a tough but exciting fall sports season this year. CSMs recently released schedules for the 007 fall athletics season pins the Hawks against nationally ranked opponents and highly competitive tournament teams. CSM Athletic Director Michelle Ruble has high hopes for the schools teams this fall. It seems like the numbers are up in recruiting, she said. It looks like every position in each roster will be full. The mens soccer team will perhaps face the strongest competition, as they head to Arizona in August to play in the Yavapai Tournament. They will face San Jacinto (Texas) in the opening round, before taking on either Schoolcraft (Michigan) or the host team, Yavapai, which finished its season ranked second in the country last year. The Hawks schedule wont get any easier from there, as they will host Louisburg, another nationally ranked team, Oct. 1. CSM will also face two strong local teams this fall, including Rockville (# 11) Oct. 4 and Prince Georges (#14) Sept. 5. The Hawks are defending Region XX Champions in soccer and had a record of 17-6. The womens volleyball team, which went 5-1 and placed third in the conference and third in the region last year, will do quite a bit of traveling this season as well. They open the season with the Central Ohio Tournament Aug 4-5. In September, the Hawks will head to New Port Richey, Florida for the Pasco-Hernando Tournament, where they will face Miami-Dade, which was ranked fifth in Division I last year. In October, CSM will play in Warwick, Rhode Island for their last out-of-state tournament. The Hawks will play in two local tournaSee CSM Fall Schedule page B-

Hughesville Defeats Calvert
Continued from page B- two runs on an RBI single by Brooke Garner and a triple by Brittany Bowen, who eventually scored on another passed ball. Up 6-0, a Kaylynn Balleaux grounder that should have been an out, turned into a triple on an infielders error, scoring Willett, who took first on four balls. According to Hughesville Head Coach Mike Garner, getting on the scoreboard first was very important. I told [my team] if we get on top, its hard to catch us, he said. Our main goal is to score first and that gets them intimidated, added Willett. Though his team was up by seven runs, Garner knew that Northern Calvert had the ability to come back and didnt take the lead for granted. We even knew this game here, we scored quite a few runs early, it wasnt over, he said. Calvert has a strong team. They have two good pitchers and theyre a good hitting team. Northern Calvert managed to cut into Hughesvilles lead as they scored two runs in the top of the third. Taylor Schaefer got things started for Northern Calvert with a base hit. Abby Orlandi drove Schaefer in with a single and Northern Calvert added another run on a passed ball with the bases loaded. In the bottom half of the inning, Donegan doubled, putting two Hughesville runners in scoring position. Allana Botts then loaded the bases with an infield single and Garner drove in two runs with a double. Hughesville recorded two more runs before the inning was over, both on wild pitches. Both teams stepped up defensively in the fourth inning, making big stops and leaving runners stranded on base. In the top of the fifth, Northern Calverts Ayu Santos hit an inside the park homerun to deep right field, scoring Orlandi, who hit a one out single. Santos homer put Northern Calvert down seven, but they were unable to build on the momentum as Hughesville turned a double play to end the inning. Hughesvilles Kelci Therres hit a two out double to left center in the bottom of the fifth, but Hughesville was unable to capitalize on the opportunity. Willett threw a strong three up, three down sixth inning, which included a strikeout and two pop ups, but Northern Calvert pitcher Danielle Cummings returned the favor, forcing Hughesville into three consecutive ground outs. Down seven, Northern Calvert needed a big inning to tie the game up. Elisa Orlandi and Abby Orlandi each managed in-

field singles, but any hopes of a rally came to an end as Hughesville turned a one out double play to end the game and win the tournament. By winning the tournament, Hughesville notches a spot in the State Tournament. The winner of the State Tournament goes on to Regionals in Syracuse, New York. Last year, Hughesville was just two games away from making it to the World Series, according to Garner. Thats a big reason why we came back this year I think these girls are ready.

Northern Calvert won the State Tournament and went on to the Regional Tournament last year as 12-year olds, according to Head Coach Dan Orlandi. I think we could have done better, and we can do better, he said. But [Hughesvilles] maturity really showed tonight. Because Hughesville lost earlier in the District 7 All Star Tournament, they played Northern Calvert from the losers bracket and had to defeat them twice in a row to win the tournament. Hughesville won the first game 6-1.

Forcing Game Two

Hughesville Wins 6-1
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Hughesvilles Junior Softball team entered Mondays Championship game against Northern Calvert in the District 7 All Star Tournament with their backs against the wall. Having lost to Northern Calvert earlier in the tournament, Hughesville played out of the losers bracket, and had to defeat Northern Calvert twice in order to win the title and qualify to play in the State Tournament. We were all really nervous since we lost to them and it was going to be really hard i nclu d i ng an Oct. 2 match up with defending Region XX Champs Harford (#10 DII) and a match up against Howard (#5 D III) Oct. 16. The Hawks have six or seven returning players and about as many freshmen on their roster this season, all of who are from the Tri-County area, according to Head Coach Rodney Fugitt. The Hawks went 3-4 in the conference, 4-6 overall and have hopes of staying competitive this season, said Fugitt. We really want to be more competitive and consistent. Last year all the games we played were pretty close except for one, which we lost to come back and win two games in a row, said Hughesvilles Tori Willett. But we were very confident, we were pumped and ready to win. Hughesville Head Coach Mike Garner said his teams loss earlier in the tournament helped them in the long run. It was a wake up call for 5-2, he added. We just want to go out there and do the best we can. The Hawks open their season Sept. 1 in New Jersey against Sussex. The following day, they will take on Morris to wrap up the trip. Thats something thats new for us, Fugitt said. Its something we didnt do last year and thats the first time we play back-toback games. CSM will also travel to North Carolina to face Louisburg Oct. 13 and Cape Fear Oct. 14. Those are two really good teams, said Fugitt. We didnt really do any traveling last year so this should be a good chance to get out on the road, face some new teams and do some team bonding as well.

us, he said. I think a lot of them, including myself, we were expected to be there. It was a wake up call on Saturday, so it was a good loss. Hughesville took an aggressive approach at the plate from the very first inning, as Brooke Garner led off the game with a single. Willett was walked a batter later, and both runners scored when a bunt by Kaylynn Balleaux turned into a triple on an error. Sarah Bouchard added another run to the scoreboard with an RBI single to centerfield. Throughout the game, Hughesville managed to get out of tough situations with Northern Calvert in scoring position. In the bottom of the first, Northern Calvert loaded the bases, but Hughesville pitcher Haley Eure threw her third strikeout of the inning to get out of the squeeze. Eure credited her teammates for backing her up defensively all game long. It was kind of tough pitching to them knowing what they had, she said. But I think we did pretty good and the defense definitely backed me up. According to Garner, defense has been the key to his teams success all along. Defense is going to get us through games. A lot of times our offense struggles and our defense and our pitching keep us in games, he said. The middle of the game was all about defense for both teams. Northern Calvert pitcher Danille Cummings kept Hughesville off the scoreboard for the next two innings, including a three up, three down shutout in the third. In the top of the fourth, Hughesville added two runs to increase their lead to five. With a runner on first, second baseman Allana Botts hit a high bouncing grounder up the middle to put runners on first and third for Hughesville. The next batter, Brooke Garner, hit a sacrifice fly, advancing Botts to second and scoring pinch runner Kelci Therres. Balleaux drove in Hughesvilles fifth run of the evening with a single. Hughesville continued to play strong defense in the next inning. Brittany Bowen made a diving stop at short and threw out a Calvert runner at first from her knees. Eure ended the inning with another strikeout.

The defense stepped up tonight, said Garner. The girls keep their heads up and make the plays. In the bottom of the fifth, Northern Calvert scored their only run of the game, on an RBI triple by Abby Orlandi, scoring Taylor Schaefer, who singled with one out and reached second on a wild pitch. But once again, Hughesvilles defense ended Northern Calverts chance at building on their momentum as Bowen made another diving catch at home and Eure struck out the next batter to retire the side. Hughesville added one more run to their lead in the top of the seventh with an RBI single by Botts. Northern Calvert loaded the bases in the second half of the inning as they attempted to rally back,

but with two outs, Bowen snagged a line drive at short to win the game. Eure pitched a complete game, giving up just one run and recording nine strike outs. Although they lost to Northern Calvert the first time they played, a win over Baden on Sunday boosted Hughesvilles confidence, according to Eure. We thought we already had it and we definitely were not ready the first time we played them, she said. But coming back and playing them again I think we did really good. The defense was better than what we had the first game we played them. Our heads were up more after we beat Baden. They did it, Garner said after the win. All the hard work paid off.

The County Times

In 1998, when I was 14 years old, I witnessed France win the World Cup against Brazil. Talk about exciting! Now lets fast-forward nine years. Im still a big soccer fan, but being 3,850 miles (or should I say, 6,160 kilometers?) away from home, its a tad bit difficult to catch a PSG game on the tube. I needed a new team. Thats where D.C. United came into the picture. Since moving to the D.C. area, Id always liked United. I was never their Number 1 Superfan, but I followed them and watched whenever they were in the MLS Cup. So maybe the announcement of Beckham had a little something to do with buying those season tickets. After all, he is one of the biggest names in soccer today and thats exactly what the MLS needs: big names. Big names can do a lot for sports financially. While playing for Real Madrid, Beckham was worth about $600 million in marketing revenue. Imagine what that kind of money could do for the MLS. Not to mention the fact that ticket sales multiply no matter what city hes in. Also, ESPN televises games every Thursday night now, and Im sure the Beckham buzz had a little something to do with that. The LA Galaxy will play D.C. United Aug. 9, a game that I have tickets for, of course. Tickets are going fast and the place is going to be packed. Most of the D.C. United games Ive gone to so far have had crowds of about 20,000 or so. For Beckhams arrival, RFK Stadium will open up all the upper deck seats and expects to hold about 41,000. Everyone wants to see how Beckham -- who many say is past his prime -- will do against Americas best. Can he carry the Galaxy, currently one of the worst teams in the league, to success? I guess Im one of those people that wants to find out. Maybe I just want to see what Beckham can do.

Section B - 
Maybe all the hype has just gotten to my head. But maybe, just maybe, Im simply trying to get back into it. Maybe I just want to feel the same kind of excitement towards soccer that I had when I was a little Frenchy roaming the streets of Paris kicking around a foam soccer ball. But whatever it was that made me get those season tickets, Im glad I did it. D.C. United is having a good season and the games Ive gone to have been a ton of fun. So where will you be when Aug. 9 rolls around and Beckham is in town? Will you cave in and fight for a ticket on eBay? Well, theres no need for that. If you really want to go to the game, Ill sell you my ticket. I didnt find out until recently that my annual family reunion falls during that same week, and obviously, that reunion doesnt take place at RFK Stadium. Doh!!!

In the Knowl
Stung by the Beckham Buzz
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Sometime around January or February, I decided to get season tickets for the D.C. United. Incidentally, it was around that time (Jan. 11 to be exact) that David Beckham announced he HAD made a deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy to play in the MLS. Now I know what youre thinking, I cant believe my favorite sports columnist in the world would jump on the David Beckham bandwagon. Well, not so fast, my loyal readers. Its not that simple. I come from a place where people take their soccer very seriously, and if you have seen the new Pixar classic, Ratatouille, you know that they also take their food seriously (so seriously, in fact that even the rats cant help but get in on the cookin). Its a little place called Paris, France. In Paris, you play soccer before school, at recess, in gym class, after school, on the beach, at the park, in the streets and in your sleep. Its a way of life. When I was a French lad, my favorite club was Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and back then, they were actually good.

Terps Visit Campers

Continued from page B- kids, he said. They paid attention, they volunteered to play some games and do a couple drills. Along with showing the campers some flashy moves and long-range three pointers, Milbourne and Vasquez taught the players some more important lessons. Chris Harney said one of the main reasons for bringing the Terp players to his camp was so that the campers could hear their stories. The biggest thing is for the kids at camp to hear their success stories and hear what they had to do to get there. Each of these guys has their own tale to tell. Milbourne was one of the most heavily recruited players in the country, and he told campers about his experience. Gist spoke to the campers about the importance of academics and Vasquez talked to campers about coming to the United States from Venezuela and having to adapt to a new culture and learn a new language. The main thing is fundamentals, Vasquez said. But besides that its sacrifice and working hard. Im the type of guy whos always going to work hard no matter what and I always try to get better. For Milbourne and Vasquez, the opportunity to take part in the Chris Harney Basketball School was one they were glad to jump on. When the opportunity presents itself, we try to come out and talk to the kids as much as we can, Milbourne said. Were in the area, added Vasquez, who played high school basketball at Montrose

Christian in Rockville, Maryland. We want to be nice to the people out here. I know they support us and they watch us on T.V., and we want to try to kind of pay them back. The three Terps stuck around and signed autographs for all the campers and gave out T-shirts. The campers loved

them, Harney said. Its really neat for them to see these guys play on T.V. all the time and now they can share an experience with them and actually play with them. Now they can go home and watch them on T.V. and say I played against Greivis Vasquez. Vasquez, who averaged 9.8 points, 4.6 assists and 3.3

rebounds per game his freshman year as a Terp, will join his national team of Venezuela for the summer and will compete around the world, with stops in China, New Zealand and Spain. Milbourne, who played 16 games in his freshman campaign, will also be competing overseas this summer. Milbournes father,

Andre, was a Division III AllAmerican at Salisbury. The Chris Harney Basketball School, which is in its second year (its first year as a coed camp), holds four sessions each summer, with ages ranging from 5-17 and includes fundamental drills, practice games, and guest speakers.

Practice Courtesy When Fishing

Fishing is a popular pastime in this country. Regardless of the type of fish youre seeking, it is important to employ good stewardship in and around the countrys waterways. Here are some pointers to keep in mind: Control litter and practice a carry-out policy. Whatever trash youve accumulated should be carried with you and placed in a proper trash receptacle, not thrown into the water. Know the rules and regulations of a specific body of water. Certain restrictions may be placed on type of watercraft permitted, correct bait and fishing gear, and even the sizes of the fish that can be removed from the water. To avoid hassles, follow these rules and inquire if you are unsure of them. Keep out of off limits areas. These places have been set aside for specific reasons, typically to preserve the wildlife and species of this particular body of water. Follow the correct procedures for cleaning your watercraft after leaving the water. You dont want to inadvertently spread non-native species to another area that could take over a habitat. Be courteous around other boaters and fishermen.

New Guidelines Announced for Free and Reduced-Price School Meals and Free Milk
The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) announced revised Income Eligibility Guidelines for free and reduced-price School Meals and, if applicable for free milk. The guidelines are set by the federal government and adopted by MSDE. They are used to determine whether children are eligible to eat School Meals free or at a reduced cost of 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents for lunch. Household size and income is the most common way to determine eligibility. For example, a child from a family of four is eligible for free school meals if the households current income is below $26,845. If the familys income is between $26,845 and $38,203, the child is eligible for reduced-price meals. Meal benefit applications will be sent home from school at the beginning of the school year. U.S. citizenship is not required to be eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Parents/Guardians should fill out the application completely and send it back to the school. Schools cannot approve applications that are not complete. The school will let parents/guardians know whether their children qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Households may talk to school officials if they do not agree with the schools decision or they may appeal the decision and request a fair hearing. School officials may ask parents/guardians to verify their income or other information from the application. Children certified as homeless or migrant and children who live in households receiving Food Stamps or Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) are eligible for free meals and do not need to fill out an application. Some Food Stamp and TCA households will receive a letter from the school telling them that their children are eligible for free meals. Food Stamp and TCA households that do not receive a letter by September 8, 2007, should fill out an application. Other children that may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals include: most foster children, runaways, and children in households participating in WIC. Parents/Guardians of these children should complete an application. Parents/ guardians may reapply at any time during the school year and are encouraged to do so if their household size goes up, they lose their job, their income goes down, or their household qualifies for Food Stamps or TCA. School Meals include the National School Lunch Program with the After-School Care Snack component, the School Breakfast Program, and the Special Milk Program. Participating agencies in the School Meals Programs include: public schools, nonpublic private schools, and residential child care institutions. Meals served must meet nutrition requirements set by the federal government. The School Meals programs are administered in Maryland by MSDE and, on a federal level, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The guidelines included here are effective July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008. Individuals who want more information concerning schools or facilities that participate in one of the Child Nutrition Programs should call 410-767-0199. For more information, contact: Bill Reinhard, 410-767-0486 or Carol Fettweis, 410-767-0207.

Maryland: Take The Buy Local Challenge this July

By late July, youre drifting along in your summer routine and youre ready for a lively change to recharge your energy. Its time to take The Buy Local Challenge (July 21 through 28) which is an excellent incentive to explore new farms, markets and restaurants, and to sample wonderful fresh local produce. Plus, its healthy for you and good for your community. The challenge is simple: I pledge to eat at least one item from a local farm every day during Buy Local Week. Maryland residents are encouraged to buy from local farms, farm stands, farmers markets, wineries, groceries and markets that offer genuine local products, or dine at restaurants that serve local farm food and wine. Counties across Maryland have joined in to declare the last week in July annual Buy Local Week, and to issue the challenge to consumers throughout the state. Conceived by the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission, this initiative is one of many programs created by the Commission to boost the local farm economy and to highlight the flavor, nutrition and health benefits local products can provide. Participation is simple, said Christine Bergmark, director of the commission. It can be as basic as putting local tomatoes in your salad or sandwich, or you can create entire dishes or meals with local eggs, wine, produce, etc. Many people already incorporate local farm foods,Bergmark stated, but we hope others who take the challenge will realize what a delicious difference this can make. The challenge is also intended to highlight the economic benefit to the region. If every household in Southern Maryland spent $12.00 per week on local produce for a period of 8 weeks, this would result in over $54 million dollars going directly back to our farmers, continued Bergmark. Ready to take the challenge? Maryland residents looking for local farms or menu ideas, shopping tips, etc can www.buy-local-challenge. com. Or if you are a farm, restaurant or retail store interested in participating, you can contact the Agricultural Commission at www.somarylandsogood.com or by calling 301.274.1922. Participants receive supporting promotional materials, signs and decals for their patrons.

CRITTER CORNER
Pet First Aid Classes
Would you know how to help your pet in an emergency should they become ill or injured? The Tri-County Animal Shelter wants you to know that in addition to offering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) classes for humans, the American Red Cross also offers a class on pet first aid, and is time well spent should your pet suffer an emergency. Covered topics include CPR, choking, drowning, injuries and wounds, shock, burns, poisoning, snake and insect bites, frostbite and heatstroke. You learn what the normal pulse rates, breathing rates and body temperature are for your pet, and how to recognize an emergency. You practice what youve learned on cat and dog mannequins, and receive a pet first aid book to take home. Pet owners are also taught how to capture and handle their sick or injured pet. This helps to reduce further stress

and injury to the pet, while keeping the owner safe. Injured pets may react out of fear or pain and not understand your efforts to help. Therefore, it is very important to know how to handle your pet in an emergency. The Southern Maryland Chapter of the American Red Cross offers classes in Calvert, Charles and St. Marys Counties. Classes are scheduled when enough people have ex-

pressed an interest. So if youd like to know how to help your pet before an emergency occurs, contact the American Red Cross for class schedules and price information at (301) 753-4042 or 1888-276-2767. You can also visit their website at http:// southernmaryland.redcross. org and click on Red Cross Services.
