Skateboarders Go Big at Series Finale


By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer On a hot Sunday morning last week, over 100 skateboarders from as far south as North Carolina and as far north as New York, came together in Lexington Park to compete in the Fifth Annual Ledo Pizza Mid Atlantic Skateboard Series Finale at Nicolet Park. The event, which took place all day Sunday, is the culmination of the entire series, which began June 24 in Fredericksburg, Va. and made stops in Arlington, Greenbelt, and Charles County before coming to St. Marys County. Throughout the eight summer contests, skaters earned points for participating. At Sundays event, after months of hard work and tough competition, the overall winners for the entire series were crowned. Trevor Colden of Virginia Beach took home first place in the Red Bull Manny Mania/Best Trick category with 2000 points and Tom Knox of Santa Cruz, Ca. won the www.gobro.tv Big Air contest with 1000 points. The rest of the competition was split up into age categories and skill levels. In the 10 & Under Bowl, Neil Hailey of Manassas, Va. took first with 7700 points while Nick Potts See Skateboard Finale page B-3

Ryken Field Hockey Looks Strong in Preseason


By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer The St. Marys Ryken field hockey team has been hard to beat in the preseason. With wins over Huntingtown, Westlake and more recently Lackey, the Knights look ready to take on the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) this season. On Monday, St. Marys hosted the Lackey Chargers in preparation for the regular season. Though Ryken has just two seniors on the squad, their lack of varsity experience sure didnt show when the whistle was blown to start the game. Right off the bat, the Knights took control of the game and possession of the ball. Knights coach Tara Pappas said her teams effort in the first 10 minutes of the game was impressive. We played well, we played very hard, she said. Lackey came out and was very physical and intense, but we didnt back away. Those first See Ryken Feild Hockey page B-2

R&T Trucking Blasts Past Bud Light, 21-18

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

Knights Lose Season Opener To St. Johns


By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer There are no doormat teams in the WCAC, said St. Johns College High School girls soccer coach Manny Villafana, minutes after his teams game against the Ryken Knights. Last time these two teams met, Saint Marys got the best of St. Johns. This year, we came out looking for revenge and they came out with lots of confidence, Villafana said. In the end, confidence was not enough for the Knights Tuesday night at home as St. Johns took the season opener 3-0. Despite the loss, St. Marys was pleased with its performance against a very tough team. I think this was a great way to start the season, said Rykens Jacquelyn Blake-Hedges. St. Johns is an amazing team. I believe theyre the number one team in the nation, added Ryken Head Coach Will Morris. We beat them here last year and that was pretty much the best victory in school history. Last season, the Knights finished with a record of 8-14-3, quite an improvement on previous seasons. [Morris] has really turned their program around, said Villafana. This year, with a very young roster, the Knights hope to improve again on the previous seasons record and finish around the .500 mark. We have six freshmen out there playSee Knights Lose To St. Johns page B-3

Ryken Field Hockey


Continued from page B- 10 minutes were very aggressive for us. Three minutes in, the Knights led 1-0 and in the eighth minute, Ryken had a 2-0 advantage. But the scoring didnt stop there. Midway into the first half, a Ryken forward broke free of Lackeys defense at midfield and scored off the outstretched stick of a Lackey player. Down 3-0 and with 10 minutes to go in the half, Lackey took a timeout to talk things over, but the break didnt help much, as the Knights came out and notched their fourth unanswered goal just minutes later. Following the halftime intermission, the Chargers defense was able to slow down St. Marys. We had a lot of opportunities but we just couldnt finish, said Pappas. Lackey really seemed to be packing it in there and it was really hard for us to score. With eight minutes left in the half, Lackey had a scoring opportunity of their own, but Rykens goalkeeper made a big stop, kicking the ball away and clearing out the clutter of Charger players. With 2:30 to play in the game, Ryken was finally able to break free of the Lackey defense as they punched in their fifth and final goal of the game. I think we really stepped up, Pappas said. It was nice to get that corner in at the end, especially with how strong Lackeys defense was in the second half. Junior Tori Dean recorded two goals in the win, while sophomore Anne Buddenbohn, senior Jenna Stone and junior Katie Leard all added one. The win over Lackey helped Ryken continue its undefeated streak in preseason scrimmages. Before taking on any WCAC opponents, the Knights will open the regular season Sept. 8 in the Hammond Tournament. Though the Knights have limited varsity experience, Pappas is confident that her young team will be able to compete at a very high level against teams such as Good Counsel and Holy Cross. Were really young. We only have two seniors, Pappas said. Most of the kids

R&T Trucking Defeats Bud Light


Continued from page B- Ronnie Babcock then drove in Gagnon and reached first safely on a grounder. Leadoff hitter kept the rally going with a single that put runners at the corners. With two outs, Dennis Buckler knocked in an RBI single, which was followed by a Chris Carver base hit that loaded the bags. Nick Vallandingham then made it a three run game with his twoRBI double. The next batter up, Glenn Larnerd, had been red hot on the day, recording five RBIs on two doubles and two singles. With two outs and a runner on second, Larnerd swung and hit a hard line drive up the middle, but his shot was snagged by R&Ts pitcher to end the game. During Bud Lights rally, R&T stayed positive. With the team we have, I was pretty confident that wed pull it off, said Thomas. Early in the game, R&T had trouble getting on the board. After two and a half innings, Bud Light led 20. But in the bottom of the second, R&T got the break they needed, retiring the Bud Light side on three consecutive pop ups. R&T then led off the third with a walk and two singles. James Berrys shot made it a one run game, and Youngs sacrifice fly tied it up at five. Dennis Hill then knocked in an RBI double and Jerome Yates drove in another run with a single, making it 75 in R&Ts favor. In the fourth, R&T managed to once again shut out Bud Lights offense, and they added two runs to their lead with a triple by Berry. To keep things going, R&T added six more in the fifth. With two outs and two runners on, Robert Reed sparked R&Ts big inning with a three-run blast way over the fence in center. Reeds homer was followed by a standup triple form Mike Ford and an RBI double by Garrett. Down eight runs, Bud Light had a strong fifth inning, as they cut the lead to three. In the sixth, a bases

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.

place to go practice. So I went to the skateboard competition not really knowing what to expect, but when I got there, I was blown away. The first thing that amazed me was how nice the skate park was. Once I got over that, I started paying attention to the skaters. When I got there, there were about 60 skaters on the course, whizzing past each other at high speeds, coming just inches from each other, but never running into each other. This is what they called a jam session. The competition was broken up into three categories: novice, intermediate and expert. After each round, they had jam sessions, where all the competitors from that category could jump in and share the course. A couple of the skateboarders zooming around the course looked to be less than 10 years old, but when I saw them get on their wheels and drop nine feet into the course without an ounce of visible fear, I realized that it takes a different kind of person to be a skateboarder. When I was younger, I couldnt even get on the board and roll to the end of the driveway without being terrified that I was going to break my neck. Of course, even the best skateboarders take nasty falls from time to time. It comes with the territory of extreme sports. But a famous BMX rider, Mat Hoffman, once said: If you want to experience all the successes and pleasures in life, you have to be willing to accept all the pain that comes with it. Thats just one of the many important life lessons that can be learned through skateboarding. If you fall off the board, just get back on. Not only was I impressed by the course and the skill level of all the skateboarders, I was amazed by their overall athleticism. In most sports, you have to be quick, agile

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.

In the Knowl
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

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.

Knights Lose To St. Johns


Continued from page B- ing significant minutes, and four or five started, so were really young. St. Johns on the other hand, had a very experienced group of players on the field Tuesday. In fact, one of their strikers, Tiffany McCarty, is an All-American senior. In the 10th minute of action, McCarty moved past two Ryken defenders and put the ball in the top right corner of the net to make it a 1-0 game. In the 21st minute, St. Johns junior Erin Miller played a cross from the sideline and headed the ball in to give her team a 2-0 lead. Throughout the game, St. Johns used its speed advantage and aggressive style of play to control the ball offensively. We certainly have a lot of speed across the board offensively and defensively and thats what sets the tempo for us, said Villafana. Ryken managed to end the half without any more damage, and they opened the second half playing strong defense. I thought our backline and our goalie played phenomenal today, said Morris. But St. Johns All-American proved to be too much for the Knights to handle. In the second half, McCarty dribbled the ball through a Ryken defender before pulling up from 15 yards away and sending a shot off the top crossbar and into the goal, giving St. Johns a 3-0 lead. I felt like if you took their All-American and put her on our team, we would have been fine, Morris said. We played organized, but we just dont have the quality that they have at this point. St. Johns is 1-0 with the win and they will face Good Counsel on Thursday. The Knights will have a chance to turn things around when they face Holy Cross on Friday. Last season, Ryken dropped one to Holy Cross and tied their second matchup. Blake-Hedges is confident that she and her teammates can get the best of Holy Cross this season. Were a lot better than last year, so I think we can definitely beat them. A Knight player handles the ball at midfield. St. Marys will play again Friday at Holy Cross.

It is always important to have fun over the summer, just stay safe doing it; protect yourself from the suns harmful rays.

Stay Safe in the Sun


Disregarding health advisories when sun bathing can be very dangerous. Each year, 1 million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States alone, making skin cancer the most common form of cancer in the country. Whats more, better than 90 percent of those cases stem from overexposure to the sun. That only adds to the importance of exercising caution and heeding the Skin Cancer Foundations advice when heading outside. Be careful early. Beachgoers love to get to the beach early and claim the best spots the beach has to offer. Unfortunately, the suns rays are most damaging between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Whenever outdoors during those hours, seek out the shaded areas or create your own shade, using beach umbrellas and/or wide-brimmed hats. Avoid tanning booths. You can still get a golden, natural-looking tan even if you stop going to the tanning booths or behave more cautiously when outside.

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.

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.
