Raiders Head Back To State Finals

Three-Goal Second Half Silences Bowie

By Chris StevensStaff Writer

ROCKVILLE - After a scoreless first half that saw the Leonardtown girls’ soc-cer team get closer and closer to the net, the Raiders scored two second-half goals

in a span of 45 seconds to help them defeat Bowie High School 3-0 Saturday night at Richard Montgomery High School.

The win kept the Raiders unbeaten at 16-0-1 and sends them back to the class 4A State Championship Game, which they won in 2006.

“I was glad to see us finish, we had our chances in the first half,” said Raid-ers head coach Jennifer Henderson after Leonardtown began to pepper Bulldogs goalie Mary Theresa Callahan with shots that eventually found the back of the net. “I was pleased with our play tonight.”

Callahan stopped 12 first half shots, but at the 33:31 mark of the second, a cor-ner kick from Davi Clark found its way on to senior midfielder Jessica Cooke’s foot. Cooke then took advantage of the scrum in front of Callahan and snuck the ball past her for a 1-0 Raider lead.

“That goal was for Teresa Paz,” Cooke said of the hero of the previous week’s 4A East regional championship game. Paz suffered a knee injury in the contest and came back to score the winning goal, but the pain prevented her from playing Saturday night. “I know she wants to be out here with us, so it’s got to be tough on her. That shot was for her and for and my team.”

LEONARDTOWN – Consider Thursday Night’s 4A East Volleyball regional semifinal heartbreak revisited.

One year after the Leonardtown High School volleyball team had difficulty putting away Severna Park in the regional finals, a controversial call gave Broadneck High new life and eventually a three sets to two victory over the Raiders that sent them to the 4A East finals.

“We played a good team tonight,” Correll offered of the opponent many felt should’ve

earned the region’s top seed instead of Severna Park. “Broadneck is a good team and it was a well-played game on both sides.”

ANNAPOLIS – This time last year, Great Mills field hockey coach Michelle Richmond was not particularly happy with the way the Hornets performed in their 3A State Semifi-nals debut.

Fast forward to last Wednesday night, a 2-0 loss to Atholton at Broadneck High, and Richmond, although disappointed with the loss, was pleased with the im-provement her girls showed in a year’s time.

The Hornets played “much better than last year,” Richmond said. “I think we panicked a little bit, but offensively we had our chances.

“Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don’t.”

The Raiders didn’t fare much better with their shots, but the two goals they were able to get, courtesy of sophomore midfielder Kim Markovitz, were enough to propel Atholton to the 3A championship game, greatly pleas-ing Raiders head Coach Jim Brown.

“Kim’s an exciting player for us,”


LEONARDTOWN – There are two well-known fifth down games in American football history.

As far as Leonardtown High School is con-cerned, Friday night’s season finale should be added to the list. Joining the 1940 Dartmouth University Indians and the 1990 Missouri Ti-gers, the Raiders were victimized by an errant officiating call that gave Huntingtown High one extra play to run out the clock and preserve a 28-24 victory over the Raiders, a game which ended an exciting season on a sour note for Leonardtown.

“The referees came to us and admitted that they did get an extra play,” said Raiders head coach Anthony Pratley, who was surprisingly calm after the final seconds ticked off the clock. “But we can’t say that cost us the game. We made too many mistakes, we did it to ourselves.”

the field, which got Callahan out of position. McLaugh-lin deftly boosted the ball over the fallen goalie’s head and into the net for the sec-ond goal of the half. Kelsey Lother rocketed in a goal from about 30 yards out late in the game to close out the

Raider’s scoring. “We felt we had the pow-

er,” Cooke said when asked about the two-goal spurt that eventually won the game for Leonardtown. “We wanted to take shots and get corners, we’ve been working on those in practice all week.”

“I just told the girls to keep working hard and pass-ing the ball,” Henderson said, admitting there was no fiery halftime speech. “The girls had great passing combina-tions, it was a team effort.”

This team, the majority of whom were sophomores when the Raiders defeated Quince Orchard in 2006 2-0 to win the state champion-ship, is looking forward to another meeting with the Cougars, who are the defend-ing 4A State champions.

The game will take place this coming Saturday

at Retriever Stadium, on the campus of the University of Maryland – Baltimore Coun-ty, located in Catonsville. Game Time is 7:30 p.m.

Cooke, one of the sopho-mores who played, but largely learned from her upperclass-men teammates, had scant recollection of that game, which included teammate Taeler Errington scoring one of the goals and the final score itself that day.

Orchard outlasted Thom-as Johnson on penalty kicks 7-6 in the first semi-final match of the evening, and

Henderson will have her team ready for another showdown at UMBC.

“They are the defending state champs, and it will be good to see them again. We’re going to work hard in practice this week and be ready for the game,” the coach said.

Cooke is aware of Or-chard’s talent and power, but it didn’t faze her Saturday night.

“They’re just a team,” she said with a grin. “We’re playing for the state cham-pionship, and we’re going to play the best we can.”

Brown said. “She’s got a bright future ahead of her.” Markovitz’s two goals, which gave her 18 on the season (“she’s smashed the previous record of 7,” Brown said) proved to be more than enough support for Atholton senior goalie Maddy Bottomley, who despite her smallish stature, confounded the Hornets with her ag-gressive play in front of the net. This led to Bottomley stopping all nine shots she faced and earning the shutout.

“We thought because of how small she was we could get some good shots on her,” said Hornets senior Hannah Morse. “But that girl can stop some shots.”

“In our conference,” explained Ryshell Butler of the more passive style of SMAC goalkeepers, “we’re not used to goalies com-ing out at us. When she did that, we were all like ‘whoa!’”

That sense of “whoa,” a feeling Richmond alluded to a week prior as being “star-struck,” was absent from the Hornets’ line of thinking, as they played a pretty solid game, but things just didn’t bounce their way last Wednesday.

“We’re a great passing team, but we’re used to getting a lucky bounce here and there,” she admitted. “But this year, they played a lot better. I didn’t see any of that [nervousness] this time.”

Atholton’s win gave them a state finals berth for the first time since 1980, but they were unable to win the championship, losing 4-3 to Fallston High School Saturday at Wash-ington College.

The season came to an end for the Hor-nets, a team that features 13 seniors who share a unique bond, but there were very few tears shed. Just reminiscing on their journey togeth-er and Butler’s memories were many.

“I remember all of our practices, our time together, when I first came in as a freshman, and I didn’t even have a stick,” she recalls of her initial year on the team. “After the first game, I said ‘I quit, I’m never playing this game again.’ But I came back and my teammates and my coaches helped me.”

She added, “When we lose, we lose as a team, we don’t blame it on one person because we are a family.”

Hannah Morse agreed. “The girls are not just my teammates,”

she said with a warm smile, “they’re more like my sisters. We can’t be upset with how things went, we had a great season.”

A View From The BleachersGoons On ParoleBy Ronald N. Guy Jr.Contributing Writer

Sandwiched between our nation’s capital and New York City is Philadelphia, PA, a city rich in American history – it served as the most-of-the-time home of Benjamin Franklin, houses the Liberty Bell, is where our Declaration of In-dependence was signed and served as the nation’s capital in the 1790’s – and long on ra-bid sports fans. Philadelphia sports fans, the Philly Goons as I like to affectionately call them, have honestly earned their reputation as the rudest, crudest, most obnoxious and lawless of them all. Sound ex-cessive? It’s not. Let’s stroll down memory lane, revisiting some of their finer moments. They once pelted Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson with snowballs as he left the field and cheered when Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin lay on the turf with a career-ending neck injury. They have thrown batteries and bottles at players. They booed Donavon McNabb the day he was drafted (they wanted the Eagles to pick Ricky Wil-

liams of all people…think he would have survived in Philly?). This year they pep-pered the Redskins bus with eggs. They had an acting judge and jail at old Veter-ans Stadium to render justice, real time, for inevitable boor-ish fan behavior. They even booed Santa Claus himself. From the personal vault, as a kid, I attended a good number of Capitals games against old Patrick Division rivals such as the New York Rangers, Pitts-burgh Penguins, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers games were, by far, the nastiest both on and off the ice. The Goons seemed to arrive by the busload and oc-cupied full sections near the rafters of the old Capital Cen-ter. Without fail, there would be some sort of episode in the volatile rows of demarcation between Caps and Flyers fans. With this impressive resume of thuggery (I don’t think that’s a real word...but you get my drift), the infamous Goons have become a running joke in the national media. ESPN and media outlets from other cit-ies rarely miss an opportunity

to illustrate a Goon gone wild. In reality, Philly fans probably aren’t that much worse than fans at other venues, but they enter any discussion of disor-derly patronage with a little more credibility, the result of a preceding reputation if you will.

When you get to know a Philly Goon, and we have plenty of them here in South-ern Maryland as result of base realignments and per-haps an adopted love of hard crabs and softball, you’ll find that behind the tough exte-rior is a sports fan with a bit a fragile psyche. And I can understand that. Compared to its neighbors to the north and south, Philadelphia would be justified in having a bit of an identity crisis. It’s not as famous or as big New York and it doesn’t have the power of Washington, DC. In fact, despite its rich history, it may be best known as the home of fictional character (yes, sadly he’s not real) and American hero, Rocky Balboa (did you catch the Rocky theme music during World Series com-mercial breaks?...hilarious!). Professional sports haven’t

been all that kind to Phila-delphians either. The Goons have watched their NFL ri-vals; the Cowboys, Giants and Redskins, win a com-bined 11 Superbowls. Philly’s still waiting for its first. From 2002-2004 the Eagles lost three consecutive NFC Cham-pionship games, two of which were at home, and they are 0-2 in the Superbowl. Further, the city hadn’t won a professional championship since Moses Malone and Dr. J, Julius Erv-ing, led the 76ers to the NBA title in 1983. That changed a couple of weeks ago when the Philadelphia Phillies resound-ingly defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series. It gave Philadelphia a chance to exhale, celebrate and raise their index finger in triumph; as opposed to another hand gesture Goons are so quick to display. And you know what? They deserved it. I am genu-inely happy for Philly fans and the city of Philadelphia. Are the Goons rude? Sure. Would they boo their own kids if they missed a shot or struck out? Maybe (okay, probably). But I’ll tell you what; they are totally committed to their city and their teams. There are no fair weather Philly fans. They are all-in, all the time. As a ri-val fan, I appreciate that com-mitment and their knowledge of and passion for sports. I wonder too, once you filter all

the rubbish and focus on the passion and commitment, if there’s something we can learn from those wacky fans to the north. Consider for moment if we all had that same fervor and sense of purpose in other aspects of our lives. Would our relationships be better? Would our families be stron-ger? Would companies have lower attrition if they were a little more committed to em-ployees? Likewise, if employ-ees arrived at work with the same vigor with which Philly fans arrive to sporting events, would they be more produc-tive and successful? When the media pokes fun at the Goons for their antics and ruthless-ness, maybe they’re missing the point. Instead of getting distracted by a flying snow-ball hurled at Santa Claus, an opposing team getting a beer shower or a skirmish in the crowd, maybe we’d be wise to filter the image and focus on the core values behind the unfortunate behavior. To me, passion and commitment, uncommon traits in an in-creasingly superficial world, shouldn’t be made light of.

Extra Point: (Disclaim-er…if you’re under 21, please wait until you are to test the theory that follows. And if you are of age, and do wish to test it, please do so responsi-bly.) Do you know what can defuse a heated sports rivalry?

Beer. Seriously. There’s just something about its touch-by-the-divine blend of wa-ter, malt, hops and yeast that makes it a truly disarming elixir. Think about it. Have you ever seen two local soft-ball teams get after it on the field only to huddle, without a trace of contempt, around a cooler after the game? As a young lad, I remember my dad and the Hobos of the old Rocking Chair League grind-ing, cussing, spiting and bat-tling for seven innings against bitter rivals only to imme-diately flip a switch after the final out, find their way over to a cooler so big I could have hid in it and toss a few back with the opposing team. It’s not much different for sports fans. I have a buddy who’s a fan of the Cowboys and Notre Dame. I have ill feel-ings for both. Still, I can sit with him over a regional craft beer or an import from some obscure earthly place and not be the least bit annoyed by the Cowboys jersey and Notre Dame hat he’s wearing. So offer a frosty beverage to that misguided in-law or neighbor who roots, roots, roots for the rival of the home team. You may discover they’re a ratio-nal human being after all. Our teams may win, they might even lose, but either way, the beer is always cold.


ANNAPOLIS – Once upon a time, turf was indeed a dirty four-letter word for the Great Mills field hockey team, especially in the wake of their 3-1 3A State Semifinal loss to Bethesda-Chevy Chase in 2007.

This year, although the Hornets fell to Atholton High 2-0 at Broadneck in the same round last Wednesday night, head coach Michelle Rich-mond felt the difference in performance was night and day, as they were more pre-pared to play on the surface.

“We were able to practice on Bermuda grass earlier this week, so this wasn’t a surprise to us,” Richmond said. “We were prepared for this surface this year.”

The Hornets’ speed rest-ed with seniors Ryshell Butler and Joselynn Stewart, who constantly beat Atholton de-fenders up and down the field, but the Hornets were unable to get any shots past Raiders goalie Maddy Bottomley.

“I’ll tell you; Butler and Stewart,” Richmond said with a laugh, “those two definitely had them on their heels back there.”

“We knew their stick-work was going to be amaz-ing like it was,” Butler said of

the Raiders’ experienced and quick hands. “We practiced on turf, so I do think we were prepared, we were 110 percent ready.”

The Hornets also held the edge in corners, but were nev-er able to get a clean look at Bottomley due to the aggres-sive and versatile defense.

“We got the corners we

wanted,” Butler said. “But it was just all dark jerseys by the time we got there.”

For the Raiders’ part, head coach Jim Brown ac-knowledged that the slower Broadneck turf was a bit dif-ferent than what his team was used to.

“We play on Bermuda grass, which is a lot faster than

this surface,” Brown said.“We played better this

year,” on the turf, said Great Mills senior Hannah Morse. “Last year, we had the deer-in-headlights look.

“This year, we were con-fident, I feel good about how we played.”

Salisbury, Md. – A goal in each half helped the eighth-ranked Salisbury University Sea Gulls capture their 14th straight Capital Athletic Conference championship with a 2-0 victory over St. Mary’s College of Maryland Saturday afternoon.

Salisbury (15-3) will next await the official announcement of the 2008 NCAA Division III field hockey tournament field expected to be released Monday morning.

SU has made 23 NCAA tournament appearances, 14 straight, in its programs history. The Sea Gulls have won four national championships, with three of those between 2003 and 2005.

Saturday’s appearance in the CAC title game was the sec-ond in a row for St. Mary’s, who finished the regular season second in the conference standings to earn a first-round bye in the CAC playoffs. The loss ends the Seahawks’ season at 8-9.

The Sea Gulls needed more than 34 minutes to get on the board as SU struck with seven seconds left to play in the first half. Freshman forward Alison Bloodsworth (Delmar, Md./Delmar) redirected a pass from sophomore midfielder Kandice Hancock (Westover, Md./Washington) over the left shoulder of sophomore goalie Emma Lauhoff (Wayne, Pa./Radnor) for the goal. Salisbury led 1-0 at the break.

In the second half, freshman forward Caitlin Walker (Fallston, Md./Fallston) backed down the Seahawk defense 15 minutes in and took a shot that was stopped by Lauhoff. How-ever, junior forward Beverly Beladino (Putnam Valley, N.Y./Putnam Valley) was positioned by the right corner of the cage to smack the rebound shot into the cage and put SU up 2-0.

Lauhoff registered a career-high 15 saves in the loss as Salisbury rattled off 24 shots. Sophomore Anna Cooke (Ann Arbor, Mich./Ann Arbor Pioneer) had no need to make a save today as the Sea Gull defense held St. Mary’s to just one shot all game that was off the mark.

Salisbury recorded an impressive 20-0 advantage in pen-alty corners.

agreed with his coach. “We can’t blame the loss

on that call,” he said. “Every-thing else led up to the final score of the game.”

For his part, Hunting-town coach Jerry Franks said the referees told him the same thing that they did Pratley, and he was aware that anything is

possible. “They might have had

11, 13 seconds with the ball,” Franks said, “but in this game, you never know what can happen.”

What did happen, though, was that the Hurricanes, 3A South playoff-bound, were able to fight off several Raider challenges and earn a share of the SMAC title, courtesy of North Point’s loss to Mc-Donough that same evening.

The Hurricanes were led by junior running back Greg Goodwin’s 142 yards on 28

carries and three touchdowns, including a one-yard score with just over seven minutes left in the fourth quarter to open up a 10-point Hunting-town lead. Goodwin’s insur-ance touchdown came one play after an amazing effort by Canes quarterback Peter Athens.

On fourth and 10 from the Raider 14, the snap went be-

tween Athens’ legs and about 15 yards behind him. The se-nior managed to evade several Raider defenders and neatly drop a pass into the waiting arms of junior receiver Dave Stanley for 13 yards and a Huntingtown first down.

“That play,” Pratley said, “really hurt us.”

However Copenhaver had one last burst of magic left in his amazing individual season. On a third and three from their own 47, the wide receiver-turned-signal caller faked a handoff to Darren Reed and seemed to get lost among a sea of Hurricane tacklers, only to break free and speed off for a 53 yard touchdown run to shrink the Huntingtown lead to four points.

“I can’t make even make stuff up anymore about how good he is,” Pratley said of Copenhaver, who carried the ball 22 times for 168 yards and touchdowns for Leonardtown (2-8 overall, 2-7 in SMAC play for 2008). “He, along with the other seniors are really going to be missed.”

Franks was complimen-tary of the Raiders effort, and said, “It’s a tribute to the coaching staff here; they came out and played hard in spite of a difficult season.”

However, the Hurricanes used Goodwin exclusively on that final drive, although he was stopped for a loss of one yard deep in Raider territory, a play that by all calculations should have been fourth down and possession turned over the Raiders. Instead, the referees, even after a brief conference, ruled it was third down, much to the dismay of the Leonard-town faithful.

Pratley was disappoint-ed with the way the Raiders lost the game, but was still pleased with the positive atti-tude and effort his players put forward this season, which goes a long way in his eyes to building a winning team at Leonardtown.

“I’ve never heard one kid complain about playing time this season,” he reflected with a proud smile. “These kids played hard all year long and wanted to go out as winners. I think they did that tonight.”

oned with in the Maryland Scholastic Hockey League near the end of last season, head Coach Jan DeRegt hopes that progress will continue into the 2008-09 season, even

with the Knights being even younger than they were last season.

“Last year, they really came a long way and were much stronger at the end of the season,” DeRegt said. “This year, we have a lot of younger players on the team and they have to develop quickly.”

Graduating three of the team’s four defensemen ranks

as one of DeRegt’s biggest concerns, but the lone return-ing back liner is cause for optimism – junior Matthew Scott led the Knights in scor-ing last season, although his numbers could suffer a bit this year because DeRegt wants him to serve as a protector for freshman goaltender Greg Meyers.

“We can’t spring Matt from defense to play for-ward,” DeRegt said. “He’s got to know when he wants to and needs to push the puck, but we need to him to be in front of the net.”

J.D. Webb, who DeRegt hopes will step up as a sec-ond-year player, will join

Scott as the other starting defenseman.

Meyers, who replaces an-other graduate (Danny Mad-den) in goal, is one of the few hockey players who seem pre-destined to be a goaltender, at least in DeRegt’s eyes. “Some kids are born to be goalies, other kids are not,” she said. “Greg was born to be a goalie, and we’re going to add a few more things to his toolbox to make him better. He’ll come on strong this season.”

With an entirely new de-fensive line, save for Scott, the Knights are more than ready – and able - to strike back on offense. Led by Brock Bailey and Sam Vogt, two seniors

that are versatile enough to play center or either left or right wing for the Knights, and with much of last season’s explosive offense (Matt Mc-Gown, Peter Martin, Kyle Wirt and expected contribu-tions from T.J. Munz) return-ing, the Knights will be an exciting team to watch.

DeRegt realizes that even with the talent she has, the Knights have a long way to go to catch up with some of the power schools in the MSHL Southern Division, namely schools with travel players.

“La Plata and Hunting-town both have rosters full of kids who play travel hockey, and it’s hard to overcome that

level of experience in one sea-son,” DeRegt said. “We have six kids with previous hockey experience, which is a record for us.”

With the lack of year-round experience in an al-ready deep division, DeRegt hopes the Knights can use their knowledge of the game and their instincts to carry them through the coming season.

“I want them to start put-ting it together, in terms of how to make plays,” she ex-plained. “I want them to see how the elements of what we work on in practice can be used in game situations and do it.”

25-21, with Broadneck striking back with a convincing 25-15 victory in the second set. The third set took four tie-breakers before

Leonardtown, who finishes the 2008 season at 13-3, came away with the 29-27 decision. They then led the fourth set 23-20 when a po-tential Raider point was called out of bounds by the officials, giving the point and posses-sion to Broadneck.

The Bruins (14-1) would take that set and win the fifth 15-11 to go on to the regional fi-nals, where they defeated Severna Park three

sets to one Saturday evening. The Bruins now advance to the class 4A State Semi-Finals to be held later this week on the campus of Maryland-College Park.

Correll was reluctant to say whether or not that missed point cost the Raiders the game, saying that there was still another set to play.

“We had our chances,” he said. “We were in every game except the second. Yeah, it’s a bad call, but you have to play through it.”

Bruins coach Scott Graf was pleased with and proud of his team’s resiliency after they were just two points away from their season

ending. “The ladies always seem to find a way to

make it happen,” Graf said of their final rally that kept their season alive through Saturday. “They have the desire to go out there and win.”

For Correll, the season ended in heart wrenching fashion, but he refused to let the final game dampen the spirits of himself or his team.

“It came down to a few points, and it is what it is,” the coach said with a smile. “Our girls had a great season, and we’re not going to let this one disappoint us too much.”

Indianapolis, Ind. – The St. Mary’s College of Maryland women’s soccer team was one of 61 squads to receive a berth in this year’s championship tournament field when the NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Committee released the bracket for the 2008 NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Tournament Monday afternoon.

This is St. Mary’s first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament.

The Seahawks (12-2-3) received one of 39 Pool A berths, which are awarded to the league tournament champions of conferences receiving automatic qualifications. St. Mary’s captured the program’s first-ever Capital Athletic Conference title by edging York (Pa.) College, 1-0, on a Kaitlin Boswell (Baltimore, Md./Friends School) goal in the second half.

The ‘Hawks will travel to Lynchburg, Va., where No. 3 Lynchburg College (19-0-3) will host a four-team regional Nov. 15-16. Joining St. Mary’s and Lynchburg will be Emory (Georgia) University and Maryville (Tennessee) College.

St. Mary’s will take on Emory in Saturday’s first round

match-up, while Lynchburg will take on Maryville. Saturday’s match-up will be the first-ever meeting between the Seahawks and Emory.

As the rookie of the four-team field, the Seahawks, who are flying high after their first-ever CAC title win, will bring a three-game win streak into their match-up with Emory. Junior midfielder Sophia Esparza (Silver Spring, Md./Montgomery Blair) controls the SMCM midfield and boasts 27 points (11g, 5a), while freshman Bridget McGovern (Wrentham, Mass./King Philip Regional) had a stellar rookie campaign with 18 points on seven goals and four assists.

Senior Marie Oben (Glenn Dale, Md./St. Mary’s, Annapo-lis) is 10-2-2 on the season with a 0.83 GAA and six shutouts.

Emory (15-3-1) earned a Pool C berth after sharing the University Athletic Association crown with Washington Uni-versity in St. Louis as both finished with identical conference records of 6-1. The Eagles are making their 11th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and second straight after advancing

to the round of 16 a year ago. Emory currently owns a 5-9-2 mark in NCAA Tournament action as the Eagles are the veter-ans of the group. Shayna Brown leads the Eagle offense with 19 points (8g, 3a), while Sarah Wilkerson owns a 0.55 GAA with eight shutouts.

The 61-team field consists of 39 automatic qualifiers, three from Pool B (which consists of independent institutions and institutions that are members of conferences that do not meet the requirements for automatic qualification), and 19 from Pool C (which consists of institutions from automatic qualifying conferences that are not the conference champions and the remaining Pool B teams).

The two winners from Saturday will square off Sunday and that winner advances to the NCAA Sectionals on Novem-ber 21-22 or 22-23.

Rides aboard the skipjack the Dee of St. Mary’s headline an af-ternoon of maritime and ecological activities Nov. 16 at the Chesapeake Bay Field Lab on St. George Island.

Activities for the entire fam-ily will run from 1 until 4:30 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children – CBFL members are free. Activities include oyster tong-ing, dip netting, marsh walks, bird walks, demonstrations of a grease-powered car and wooden boat con-struction. Additional exhibits at CBFL’s Sea-Fruit Oyster House -- located at the end of Piney Point Road on St. George Island – include displays of traditional harvesting methods and tools of the commer-cial fishing industries of the Chesa-peake Bay.

Skipjack rides will cost an addi-tional $2 per person and T-shirts for fish and leaf printing are $5 apiece. Refreshments will be sold.

“You can’t beat the price for a chance to sail one of the last skipjacks working the Chesapeake Bay,” said CBFL President Kathleen O’Brien. “The Bay Lab is a place that where families can play and learn together. Our entire learning program is ac-cessible to all ages and all abilities. Everyone is welcome.”

CBFL is a 401(c)3 dedicated to passing the heritage of the Chesa-peake Bay on to younger hands. Proceeds support the educational programming at the Bay Lab and ongoing preservation of the skip-jack and oyster house.

The longest running musical comes to Southern Maryland when the College of Southern Maryland’s Theatre Company presents its fall production of “The Fantasticks,” Nov. 14-16 and 21-23.

“The Fantasticks,” tells the story of two fathers, Hucklebee and Bel-lomy, who pretend they are feud-ing to trick their children to fall in love. They even go so far as to build a wall between their homes to help make their plan believable. The con-sequences of their well-intentioned scheming result in a classic story of love, loss and redemption.

The play is narrated by El Gallo, who watches and participates at piv-otal moments. Luisa and Matt, the unsuspecting young lovers, question themselves, the meaning of life and love upon discovering the trickery.

Written by Tom Jones and composed by Harvey Schmidt, the original off-Broadway production premiered in 1960 featuring the late Jerry Orbach in the role of El Gallo. The show ran for 42 years, making it the world’s longest-running musical.

CSM’s cast includes Andy Whetzel of Waldorf as Narrator El Gallo, Christina Tersero of Waldorf as Luisa, Ben Simpson of La Plata as Matt, Dale Sanchez of Indian Head as Hucklebee, and Jacob Stewart of Marbury as Bellomy.

Performances are Nov. 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 8 p.m., and Nov. 16 and 23 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5. For in-formation or reservations, contact the Box Office at 301-934-7828, 301-870-2309, 240-725-5499 or 443-550-6199, Ext 7828, [email protected] or www.csmd.edu/finearts.

During the Spanish vice-regal period in the Americas, writing and access to literacy signified imperial and cul-tural authority. Scholars have noted the importance of colo-nial writing as a primarily up-per-class practice. This pre-sentation will look at select cultural forms drawn from eighteenth-century Mexico City, imperial capital of the vice-royalty of New Spain. Hernández-Durán will talk about how dance, painting, and urban design concepts are based on the same funda-mentals in differing cultural environments. He will also focus on the relationship be-tween early forms of commu-nication, such as verbal, ges-tural, and pictographic, and their transition into written language. Pictorial forms of communication will also be examined.

Hernández-Durán is as-sistant professor of Ibero-American colonial art and ar-chitecture at the University of New Mexico. He completed

his doctorate at the University of Chicago and has been the recipient of various awards, including two Fulbright-Hays fellowships, a MacArthur fellowship, a grant through the New Mexico Humanities Council, and the National Endowment for the Humani-ties. He is researching for his next book, tentatively titled El origen del arte entre nosotros: A Historiography of Colonial Art History in Mexico and the United States, 1855–1959.

St. Mary’s College of Maryland, designated the Maryland state honors col-lege in 1992, is ranked one of the best liberal arts schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, The Princ-eton Review, and Kiplinger’s. Founded in 1840 as Mary-land’s “monument school” commemorating the state’s first capital, SMCM is the state’s only public honors col-lege, offering “an Ivy-level College with a public-school

price tag” (Newsweek). Some 2,000 students at-

tend the college, which has the highest graduation rate for all Maryland public col-leges and universities, and an SAT average for student admissions of 1252. The school’s waterfront campus along the St. Mary’s River in Southern Maryland is home to the 2007 National Intercol-legiate Sailing Association Women’s, Sloop and Team champions.

CORNER

SMeet the awesome polar bear, the world’s largest land carnivore. Its home is in the Arctic region, which includes the five “Polar Bear Na-tions” --- the U. S. (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), and Norway. Despite the Arctic’s harsh environment, it’s “all systems go” for these super-insulated bears. They’re covered with about four inches of blubber; a layer of under fur; and an outer layer of stiff, shiny, transparent guard hairs that look white because of reflected light. Their skin, nose, eyes, and lips are black, which also helps to conserve heat.

Polar bears are powerful preda-tors with long bodies, small ears, and tails. Stocky legs and large paws, which act like snowshoes, distribute the bear’s weight as it walks on snow or ice;

and thick, black paw pads cov-ered with tiny bumps called papillae provide the traction. The animal’s short scooped claws are perfect for gripping prey or digging out snow and ice.

The big boys of the Arctic stand tall, like about eight to ten feet high. Males can weigh 1,700 pounds or more, while females are around half that size. These guys are great swim-mers in open water and all that body fat, plus water repellent fur, gives them buoyancy. They use their large forepaws to dog-paddle themselves along at around six miles per hour.

Ringed seals are the bear’s fa-vorite dinner, which they capture by “still killing.” But to find the seals, the bears have to go where the seals go --- where the ice floes meet the water. The bear’s keen sense of smell can detect a seal’s breathing hole a mile or more away. The bear patiently waits close by as the seal surfaces to breathe. The moment the seal pops up through the breathing hole, the bear fatally bites the seal and flips it onto the ice. A nice fatty dinner is served. The polar bear’s biology requires large amounts of fat from marine mammals like the ringed and bearded seals.

In November and December, fe-males usually give birth to twin cubs in a den made in deep snow. The tiny cubs are blind and toothless, and the

family stays in the den until March or April. By then, the cubs are chubby from mam-ma bear’s fatty milk, but she has fasted during this time, surviving on her body fat. She’s ready to leave the den to hunt for a good meal. The cubs will follow the mother for about two and one-half years, while learning how to hunt. Polar bears live about 20 to 25 years in the wild.

Scientists estimate there are about 20,000 to 25,000 thousand polar bears throughout the Arctic region. But with the threat of global warming and Arctic temper-atures at record highs, they fear that two-thirds of the world’s polar bears

could disappear by 2050. The melt-ing of the ice packs directly affects the bears. Without a sea ice platform, the bears cannot reach their prey and are forced to swim longer distances to reach ice. Scientists conducting field work in the Arctic say ice is freezing later each year and breaking up ear-lier, leaving bears with less time to feed. The result: Bears are becoming smaller and weaker and females are having fewer and less healthy cubs.

On May 14, 2008, the U. S. De-partment of the Interior placed the po-lar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. If global warming continues unchecked, the only place you may be able to see po-lar bears in the future will be at the zoo.
