By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer The R&T Trucking Softball Team scored seven runs in the top of the seventh inning to secure a second win over Bud Light Tuesday night in St. Marys Slow Pitch playoff action at the Brass Rail Field. R&T led throughout most of the game, but Bud Light tied up the score at 14 in the bottom of the sixth. With the pressure on, R&T delivered with a long string of singles and doubles that gave them a 21-14 advantage. James Garrett, Lee Bowles, Mike Hill, Lamont Young, and Jerome Yates all recorded RBIs in the inning for R&T. With their backs to the wall, Bud Light needed a big inning in the bottom of the seventh to pull off a win and keep their playoff chances alive. We got a little lead tonight and we started thinking it was over, said R&T manager Donald Thomas. But when youre this far in the playoffs, teams dont give up that easy. Bud Light made a strong comeback effort late in the game. Brian Gagnon led off with a single and then advanced on a base hit by Kevin Chandler. See R&T Trucking Defeats Bud Light page B-2

loaded double by Larnerd tied the game up and put Bud Light in position to win the game. But it was R&T that came through with the biggest seventh inning, and Bud Light saw its championship chances come to an end. Despite falling short of victory, the Bud Light team was glad they were able to play better than they did in the first game against R&T, which they lost 16-5. We fought harder tonight than almost all season, said Buckler, who pitched the entire game for Bud Light. We hope it prepares us for next year, thats all I worry about. We scored 17 runs against them, so were happy with that. R&T hands down, is an A Class ball club. R&T, which won the championship last year and has been in first place all season, finished with a 25-4 regular season record. They will play the winner of the Pax Bombers Series or Chaneys. Were trying to repeat last years championship, said Thomas. But everybodys trying to knock us off, so it makes it a whole lot harder.

and have great coordination. Skateboarding is certainly no exception to that. In the past, I saw skateboarding as more of a hobby or a pastime. I no longer think that way. Skateboarding is just as much of a sport as baseball or football. In fact, skateboarding is more than a sport, according to Tony Hawk, who once said: I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. But the thing that impressed me the most about the skateboarding competition. The thing that impressed me more than the park, the skill level and the courage of the competitors, was the amount of support they all had for one another. Even though they were competing against each other for a prize, every single skateboarder would watch as his/her competitors took the course and they cheered them on. And they always, always, picked each other up when somebody fell.

A Sport With Heart
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer In most towns and cities, skateboarders have nowhere to go. They try to skate the rails and stairs in their neighborhoods, but are constantly shooed away by annoyed shop owners and sometimes security guards or police officers. If there is no skate park in the town, the town becomes the skate park. In St. Marys County, this problem doesnt occur, because nestled right in the middle of Lexington Park, is a beautiful skate park that is open to the public. Its considered a 12,00 ft. street course, with a spine, nine ft. deep side, six ft. shallow side, bank walls pyramid, and a double set of stairs with a ledge and rail. When I heard St. Marys County was hosting the Fifth Annual Mid-Atlantic Skateboard Series Finale, I thought, Thats weird, I hardly ever see any skateboarders in St. Marys County. Well, thats only because skateboarders here have such an awesome
Skateboard Finale
Continued from page B- of Great Mills took third with 3700 points. Frank Schaffroth of Telford, Pa. was first in the 11-13 Bowl with 7400 points and Jake Hilbish of Bedford, Va. took a close second with 7250 points. Alex Hall was the first local finisher in that category. Corey Rubin took the 14-17 Bowl and Chris Williams of La Plata won the 18-29 Bowl with 3350 points. In the next age group, the 30-39 Bowl, John Fudula took home first and Bob Pribble won the 40+ Bowl. Alexandra Hailey of Manassas, Va. won the womens division. Event organizer and judge Curt Kimbel said it was astonishing to see how much all the skaters were able to improve this summer. Its amazing how fast they improve. It makes them happy, it makes me happy, it makes their parents happy, Kimbel said in a phone conversation Monday. Two local competitors, Nick and Bobby Potts of Great Mills, were among the skaters that made the biggest improve-

ments throughout the season. They both had the time of their lives this weekend, Kimbel said. They really exceeded everybodys expectations. Yesterday was one of the best days in several of those kids lives. They were so happy and so proud and they were hugging me and hugging me and they wouldnt stop hugging me. Kimbel, a Mechanicsville resident and avid skater himself, took second in the 40+ Bowl and fourth in the Longboard. In the Novice Street competition, Neil Hailey earned first with 3900 points, while Nick Potts of Great Mills finished fifth. Korey Gandy of Virginia Beach won the Intermediate Street division while Hall and Trossbach each finished in the top 10. Alex Johns won the Expert division with 3900 points and Williams followed closely behind. Nick Rand of Waldorf was sixth. Though many of the skaters come from North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York, Kimbel said the competitions almost feel like a family reunion. A lot of people travel eight to 10 hours to get here, but when
theyre all together, theyre like a family, he said. Theres just such a strong camaraderie. In fact, the camaraderie is so strong that even two rivals cant help but to give each other encouragement. Schaffroth and Hilbisch were neck and neck all summer long, according to Kimbel. After earning over 6,000 points each, the two skaters were within 50 points of one another. It would all come down to the final skate at Nicolet Park. They were both so nervous going into it, Kimbel recalled. They both wanted to win so bad, but whenever the other one was doing a run and landed a tough trick, they were banging their boards, clapping their hands and giving them high fives. Sundays competition also featured many giveaways, such as boards, wheels, shirts, backpacks and lots of pizza, all of which were donated by sponsors. Winners were awarded a Tshirt signed by many of the competitors, as well as a trophy. The biggest award is just knowing you did well, Kimbel said.

dangerous, as the Skin Cancer Foundation notes that a persons risk for skin cancer doubles when they have had five or more sunburns. Be sure to cover up this fall whenever heading out into the sun. Just because the temperature outside isnt hot, that doesnt make the suns rays any less harmful. Check the UV rating on a daily basis as well. Wear sunglasses. The sun cannot only burn your skin but do damage to your eyes as well. UV-blocking sunglasses will protect your eyes from the sun while also making it easier to see. Keep kids covered. Newborns have particularly sensitive skin and should never be exposed to the sun. Once a child has reached the age of six months, apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF (sun-
protection factor) of 15 before going out in the sun. Parents should strongly consider sunscreen with an SPF higher than 15 for young children as well. Get checked. Like any form of cancer, how early skin cancer is detected can determine how effective treatment can be. If you spend significant time out in the sun each year, be it in spring, fall, summer, or winter, make sure to make an annual visit to your physician for a skin exam. While you should examine your skin for moles or other signs each month, your physician will know better than anyone what to look for. To learn more about skin care, visit the Skin Cancer Foundation Web site at www. skincancer.org.

If fish steaks are large, cut into 6 serving pieces. In shallow glass or plastic dish, mix all marinade ingredients. Add fish; turn to coat

the berries and toss with the granulated sugar. Set aside. Whip the cream with the confectioners sugar and vanilla to soft peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use. To assemble the cake: Cut the cake in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom layer cut side up on a cake stand or serving plate.

Reclaim the Dinner Hour With Online Resource
Todays families are busier than ever. Each family member has a host of activities filling the calendar and responsibilities that make it challenging to find quality time together. And the most significant connecting time of the day has flown out the window dinnertime! Planning a weekly dinner menu, shopping for groceries and preparing meals at home are very difficult to accomplish amid busy workloads. Oftentimes, families resort to grabbing a meal on the go or ordering in not-so-healthy fast food in a pinch. However, these short cuts have two distinct disadvantages: these strategies arent always favorable to the waistline or budget, and they do not promote quality time as a family. There are ways to make meal planning and dining at home as a family possible and easy. Here are a few ideas: Get the stress off of your plate and healthy food on it. Since planning and shopping for regular family dinners can be so stressful, most families just need a tool that is convenient and easy-to-use. A very easy and organized system that is helping families make dinner happen is E-Mealz. com. E-Mealz provides a variety of easy weekly meal plans, complete with delicious dinner recipes and a corresponding grocery list you just print and go. Have a plan before heading out. Write your own plan or have it done for you. It does wonders to have it off your mind and on a piece of paper. Shopping with a list in hand and sticking to it saves time at the store and limits impulse buys. Going to the grocery store without a list or plan is money down the drain. The No. 1 way to save money on your grocery bill is to have a plan period! View dinnertime as more than just eating. Breakfast may be the most important meal in terms of nutritional value and jump starting the day, but dinner could be the most important for an entirely different reason: strengthening your family. Mealtime gives family members a chance to converse, connect, and relate to each other face-to-face and side-by-side around the dinner table. Savor good food while you savor your most important relationships. The dinner hour at home is the prime opportunity to connect with your family discussing, laughing, and lingering around the table. Making dinner happen sends the message to your kids, You matter, our family matters, you are worth the effort and loved! Strong families can be raised eating on paper plates. A good meal, a sturdy table, and your family put those three ingredients together every night, stir in some love and thats all you need.

Including Your Pets In A Disaster Plan
Hurricane season begins June 1st, and scenes from Hurricane Katrina are still being shown in the news, including the animals that were left behind. Now is the time to plan for what to do in case of a disaster, whether natural or manmade. The best way to protect your family and pets from the effects of a disaster is to have a disaster plan. Different disasters require different responses. Whatever the disaster, you may need to evacuate your home quickly, and that includes taking your pets with you. If its not safe for you to stay in the disaster area, its not safe for your pets. Here are some suggestions to include in your familys disaster plan: Have a safe place to take your pets. Check with hotels, relatives or friends outside the area, and boarding facilities. Most shelters for people do not accept pets due to health and safety reasons. Create a Portable Survival Kit for your pet, to include at least a two-week supply of food and water, food bowls, litter, litter pans, medications and veterinary records, current photo of each pet, animal carriers or leashes. Consider newspapers, plastic trash bags, paper towels and bleach for clean-up and waste removal. Update this kit and rotate the food on a regular basis. Bring all pets inside before the disaster strikes to avoid searching for them if you have to evacuate. If its safe for you to wait out a disaster at home, identify an area where you and your pets can stay together. Keep dogs on leashes, cats in carriers, and make sure they are wearing identification. For more information on pet disaster planning information, contact the Tri-County Animal Shelter at 1-800-903-1992 or visit our website at www.charlescounty.org/es/animalcontrol. You may also contact The Humane Society of the United States at (202) 452-1100 or visit www.hsus. org/disaster. To find hotels in your area that accept pets, check out these two web sites: www. petsonthego.com and www.petswelcome.com.
