Annual Run & Fun Walk for Hospice a Big Success

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Over 1,500 runners and walkers rose early on a warm, sunny Saturday morning to participate in the 12th Annual Run & Fun Walk for Hospice in Leonardtown Southern Marylands largest running event. Participants had a choice between walking the course, running a 5-kilometer course, or running the 10-kilometer course. In the mens 5K, Colin Leadbetter, a soccer and wrestling standout at Northern High School, took first place in a time of 18:15. I havent run a 5K in about a year or two, Leadbetter said. But Ive been doing sports all year round for school. Leadbetter said the weather conditions and the flat course helped make the run more enjoyable. The weather was for the most part perfect. It could have been a lot worse, he said. The course was really nice. Second overall and first in the womens 5K race was Julia Smith, 38, of Tappahannock, who ran the course in 18:43. Travis Priest, 39, of California, Md. won the 10K mens race in 37:40, while Jamie Jameson, 34, of Hollywood won the 10K womens race in 42:10, beating out second place Sierra Schenk, 29, of Lusby, by just six seconds. Schenk said she enjoys coming out to the event because it gives her the choice between running a 5K and a 10K. I like to run 10Ks because 5Ks are a little too short for me and I dont want to try a marathon until I can do it competitively, said Schenk. Im kind of between 5Ks and half-marathons. After runners and walkers had crossed the finish line, loads of food, including soup, pasta salad, hot dogs, fruit, juices and bagels were availSee Hospice Run page B-3

Lady Knights Come Inches From First League Win

St. Johns Defeats Ryken, 7-6
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer For every step the Lady Knights lacrosse team took last Friday against St. Johns College High School, the Cadets took two. That was until the end of the second half when Ryken cut the lead to one goal and came inches from tying the score as time expired. Searching for their first conference win in school history, the Knights made several strong attempts to knot the score at seven with seconds remaining, but two of their shots were denied by the top post of the goal. Although pleased with her teams improvement over the year, Rykens head coach Becky Sancomb felt the Knights should have come away with a victory. We did great things to show the strides weve made, she said. But we need to beat these teams. Were not satisfied with a one-point loss. We play with a lot of heart and we see that passes are connecting, added senior Carolyn Miller. We feel the win coming. Early on, the Knights were plagued by three-second calls and St. Johns took advantage, scoring the games first two goals. The Knights struck back within a minute of the Cadets second goal on a score by sophomore Danielle Guy. See Knights page B-4

Cavs Softball Rolls Through Great Mills

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer The Lady Hornets softball team of Great Mills couldnt get things rolling at the plate Monday afternoon as they fell to the visiting Calvert Cavaliers, 13-1. Calverts starting pitcher, Ashley Disque, gave up just five hits in five innings. She struck out the side in the second, one of five innings in which the Hornets went three-up, three-down at the plate. Their girl that was pitching did a real nice job, Great Mills Head Coach OJ Lewis said. She pitched a really nice game for them. She kept them in the game. They hit the ball, we didnt. The Cavaliers on the other hand, had no shortage of hits. After scoring one run in the first, Calvert hit a home run down the left-field line that drove in two more. The top of the fifth inning was Calverts most productive offensive inning, as they managed to score five innings. Up 80, Calvert poured in two runs in the sixth and three more in the top of the seventh. We got some timely hits today and we played well defensively, Calvert Head Coach Frank Moore said. We had two or three girls who had more than one hit so we did well. It See GM Softball page B-4

Seahawks Fall to No. 1 Salisbury in CAC Championship

Salisbury, MD St. Marys (Md.) Colleges 2007 Capital Athletic Conference Mens Lacrosse Tournament title run came to a halt on Sunday afternoon as top-seeded and top-ranked Salisbury University won its 13th consecutive Capital Athletic Conference Championship with a 17-5 victory over the Seahawks. With the win, the Sea Gulls (18-0) run their winning streak at Sea Gull Stadium to an impressive 57 straight games and clinches the leagues automatic bid to the 2007 NCAA Division III Mens Lacrosse Tournament which begins on May 9 with first round action. Salisbury opened up the game with five straight goals with two from Eric Bishop and a pair from Matt Hickman before junior middie Steve Hutwelker put the Seahawks on the board with 23 seconds left in the first period. The St. Marys defense limited the Sea Gulls to just one goal in the second quarter and freshman attackman Matt Stone notched his first man-up goal of the year to pull his team to within 6-2 at halftime. The third frame was similar to the first as Salisbury found the back of the net five times in a row before senior attackman Kyle Patton picked up an extra-man goal to stop the Sea Gulls run. Junior attackman Pat Oliphant tallied a man-down goal at 12:34 of the fourth stanza for the Seahawks fourth goal of the day as Oliphant completed a feed from freshman middie Jake Slater Slater would then score one himself at 11:54 to make it a 12-5 game. Salisbury closed out the game with five goals in a row, including two more from Hickman and a pair from Kylor Berkman. Five different players scored for the Seahawks (11-6), while freshman middie Ryan Alexander dished out two assists. Senior defenseman Michael Alcamo notched four ground balls and four caused turnovers. Senior goalie Rich Barr registered 15 stops and three ground balls in the loss. St. Marys will wrap up the 2007 season on April 25 as they host Randolph-Macon College at 4:00. Prior to the game, the teams eight seniors will be recognized.

Community
Party Time: Grand Opening of McKays Food & Pharmacy in Leonardtown
McKays store offers services no other grocery store has on the East Coast
By Andrew Knowlton and of Valley Lee as she strolled Adam Ross around the store on its openStaff Writers ing day. This is really great. But the new McKays is McKays Food & Phar- more than just an eye-catchmacy celebrated the grand ing backdrop, according to opening of its newest store James M. McKay, chairman in Leonardtown April 20, of the board of McKays Food opening its doors once again & Pharmacy. to the Southern Maryland The store, he says, offers community. many things that other local The first thing shoppers grocery stores dont. will notice upon entering the We have -- as all supernew store, which is located markets have -- a good meat at the Shops at Breton Bay, is department, a produce dethe top-of-the-line dcor and partment and those sorts of shiny hardwood floors. things, McKay said. But not Its a very nice store and every market has a good seathe people are very nice, food area, not every supermarsaid shopper Jenny Crawford ket has a good in-store bakery area, not every supermarket has an expanded produce area to provide you not only the agriculturally-grown produce but also the natural grown produce. The new store offers all of those things. Along with a vast variety of foods, the new McKay store takes pride in having gone green. What that is, is trying to take into account the warming aspect of our environment and to try to do away with some of the gases that are causing the change in the climate and temperature that we are experiencing, McKay said. We did have to do a lot of rewiring of equipment and so on and so forth. We changed all the gas in the refrigeration system and did all those things that put us into what you call a green store. The new store also includes a cart sanitizing system. After carts are used, the stores courtesy clerks gather them and run them through a housed piece of equipment that cleans the cart, according to McKay. This sanitizer is the only system in use on the east coast. We are very ahead of the date on that sort of thing, McKay said. By keeping up with the newest developments technologically, McKay hopes his customers will continue to come back for many years. Since opening his first store in 1948, McKay has been successful in all of his businesses, which are spread about St. Marys County (Charlotte Hall, Great Mills, Hollywood and Wildewood). Help from his family has been a major factor in keeping up the stores success, he said. His sons Tommy McKay and David McKay, along with daughter Cherry Price, help oversee the operations of the stores. Every one of my eight children have bagged groceries, been what we call a courtesy clerk, stocked shelves, swept floors, run cash registers and made orders, James McKay said. Theyve done the full range of the business, all of them. His wife, Marilyn, also is very eager to lend a helping hand. My wife has been a very full time participant in this operation along with raising the family and shes done an outstanding job working by my side and my kids as well. Naturally, the familys sacrifice and dedication to the grocery business showed in its new Leonardtown store, where a variety of detail stuck out like a soar thumb. The isles are extra spacious, and well lit to allow for an optimal shopping experience for even the oldest of shoppers. Its a wonderful store, said Aggie Farrell, of Compton, Md. Its a regular shopping store, but with much, much more. They have everything here and its easy to find. Cecilia and Jim Hoffman of Leonardtown said the store was awesome, and something that was needed in the community for a long time. This place is completely stocked, said Cecilia Hoffman. It exceeded expectations, the layout is wonderful and there is something for everyone. David McKay said he plans to have the pharmacy up and running in two or three weeks. The store was originally leased in November, but work didnt start until the first of January.

Another reason I love road races so much is that theyremindmethatgivingto charitycanbefun. Last summer I had the opportunitytogoonacrosscountryroadtrip.Mybrother and I were the support crew forthreeofhiscollegefriends, who were biking across the UnitedStatesonsingle-speed, fixed-gear bicycles (meaning they could never stop pedaling!).Wetraveled6,000miles from Bellingham, Wash., downthroughOregon,across Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, KentuckyandVirginiabefore ending up close to home, in OceanCity,Md. Why did we undertake this three-and-a-half-month trip, constantly on the move, inthemostextremeweather, sometimessleepinginbarnsor open fields or picnic shelters? The goal was to raise money for two groups: first, $20,000 foracharitycalledKupenda, whichhelpsdisabledchildren in Africa. That sum made it possibleforabout40Kenyan childrenwithavarietyofdisabilities to go to school. We were also raising funds for the American Diabetes Association (one of the bikers is a Type 1 diabetic, who was eagertoshowthatthedisease wouldnotstophimfromtakingonevenaruggedphysical challenge). Sure,itwasalotofhard work, but whats more fun than a cross-country adventure with friends? And what can be more rewarding than reachingthe goal of raising $20,000 and knowing it helps truly needy children? Now, the three bikers have an official non-profit organization called Adventures for the Cure and continue to plan all sorts of fund-raisers. Just a few weeks ago, they putona5Kraceinbeautiful OregonRidgePark,justnorth ofBaltimore,andraisedabout $10,000 for Blood:Water Mission,acharitythatbuildsclean drinkingwellsinunderprivilegedAfricancommunities.

Continued from page B- was a good ball game for us Maybe this will start us back on a winning streak. After the fifth inning, Becca Hillebrand took over pitching duties for Disque. In the bottom of the sixth, Great Mills scored their sole run on a single to center by Stephanie Cocchimiglio. Tiffany Kurtz, who led off the inning with an infield single, scored from second on play, while Joselyn Stewart, who singled to left two batters before, advanced to second. With two outs, Great Mills managed a double-steal, putting both of their runners in scoring position, but the Hornets were unable to score again. Lewis said his team, which starts three freshman and three sophomores, has had issues with communication throughout the season. Were awfully, awfully young, he said. Communication has been like a problem area for us a little but I think were getting better at the basic fundamentals of the game. The Hornets made several errors in the field, but also showed that they have improved since the beginning of the season, according to Lewis. In the top of the third, for example, Great Mills turned a swift 5-4-3 double play. While the Hornets continue to improve defensively, Lewis says his team has slumped behind the plate. Were going to work on hitting tomorrow. Work on it, work on it, he said. We hit well in the beginning of the year, I mean we had four overthe-fence home runs and for an awful young team, thats very well. But we havent hit in the last four games and it cost us the game against McDonough, we lost to McDonough one to nothing. But thats the kind of team we have, we play a great ball club and lose one to nothing and then we play other teams that we should be competitive with and we cant hit the ball. After batting practice Tuesday, the Hornets (39) faced Leonardtown on Wednesday. Results to that game were unavailable when The County Times went to press. The season series between Great Mills and the Raiders was tied 1-1 prior to Wednesdays contest.

Knights
Continued from page B- After a strong performance on the other end by Rykens defense, the Knights turned the ball over to Emily Paquin, a wide-open St. Johns attacker who scored an uncontested goal. Were taking care of the ball great, the defense makes stops, our goalie makes great saves, and then we lose focus and turn the ball over, Sancomb said. We need to be patient on the field I told the team that we beat ourselves. Several plays later, Cadet attacker Liza Quill wrapped around the Knights goal and scored, putting St. Johns up 4-1. With four minutes remaining in the half, Ryken senior Maggie Macleay scored on an assist from Lauren Fe-

usaherens to cut the lead to two. But before the end of the half, Ryken was called for another three-seconds penalty and the Cadets made the score 5-2. After intermission, the Knights came out with more intensity and managed to hold their opponent to just two goals. In fact, they outscored the Cadets 4-2 in the second half. Macleay scored her second goal of the day early in the half after grabbing a ball that had deflected off the top post on a Feusaherens shot. Both teams traded goals in the next five minutes of play before Miller scored in transition on an assist from Feusaherens. I thought we had a lot of communication today, Miller said. Our transition was great and we had a great feel for our teammates. Down two and with time running out, the Knights

made a worthy push. Macleay found Feusaherens open in front of the net after drawing the Cadets goalie out of the cage. Feusaherenss goal made it a 7-6 game with three minute remaining. The Cadets played keepaway for about a minute, but Ryken still managed to steal the ball and bring it to the St. Johns goal, where they launched several attempts at the net. Two of their shots, however, bounced off of the post. From there, St. Johns recovered the ball and held it until the horn blew. Though the Lady Knights have yet to win a conference game, they are 5-6 on the season and confident that they are headed in the right direction, according to Sancomb. Were there, she said. Before its said and done, were going to get our first win in the league.

Track Meet
Continued from page B- By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer A disqualification in the final event of Tuesdays track meet between Chopticon, Great Mills and McDonough nearly cost the Braves boys team a win. But Chopticons lead was just enough to edge McDonough, 65.5-65 in the their final home meet of the season. The Chopticon girls team had an easier time, beating the Rams by 10 and Great Mills by 17. The Hornet boys placed third overall with 22.5 points. Its everything I ever hoped for, said Chopticon senior James Young, who took first place in the two-mile and anchored the Braves winning 4x800m relay. I always said I just wanted my last year to be a good show and its really nice to do it in front of my teachers The team really came out and showed the

school what we can do. Along with Youngs victory in the two-mile, the Braves had a long list of top performances in the distance events. Sophomore Jamie Thorne won the mile with a time of 5:04 and took second in the 800m run. On the girls side, senior Ashley Kijek won mile as well as the 300m hurdles. Jessica ONeil took second place in the two-mile with a time of 13:46. It looked to me like our distance team pretty much stood out, said Chopticon coach John Urban. We had the top four finishers in the two-mile. In the mile we took the top three or four spots. So the distance team stood out today. The Braves also showed strength in field events such as the shot put, discus, long jump and triple jump. Patrick Moran took first in both the shot and discus, while Ivan Cerkez took second. Chopticon also swept McDonough and Great Mills in the girls triple jump. After the meet, Urban said he was pleased with how his team performed and is hopeful that they will be able to finish in the upper half at the SMAC Championships in two weeks. It looks like the girls have a good shot to be up there, Urban said. Im hoping the boys can finish higher than midway. Last year we finished about the middle of the pack, so Im hoping we can finish as good or better. While Chopticons top performances came in distance and throwing events, the Great Mills Hornets recorded some of the best times in the sprints and field events. Junior Joleesa Nelson took first in the 400m dash (1:02.75,) second in the 200m dash and third in the 100m dash. The Lady Hornets took the top-three spots in the shot put and three of the top four spots in the discus, with Melanie Nation leading the way. She recorded a throw of 3011 in the shot put. Gabrielle Fell also claimed the top finish in the 800m run. One of Great Mills strongest and most exciting finishes came late in the meet, in the

4x100m relay. The Hornets went stride-for-stride with McDonough all the way and managed to barely sneak past the Rams at the finish line. The thing about it is theyve been working hard during the course of the week and weve been working on handoffs and stuff and they finally got it, said Hornets assistant coach Tony Porter. Im just so proud of them I dont even know what to do. With just a few weeks remaining before the conference championships, Porter says he is comfortable with where his team stands. I feel good about where they are right now, he said. Again, theyre all improving every single week. This right here is a milestone for the mens team

because weve been hurting on the mens side of the relay. We have good kids and they work very hard, so Im very proud of them. A lot of them got their personal records today. Every step I see the competition improve. Although there are still a few competitions left on the calendar, Tuesdays trimeet was a good opportunity for seniors to look back on their high school careers and see how much they have improved. Its really nice because I remember my first meet here and how terrible I did, Young said. They hear about me winning cross-country and a lot of these people have never seen it so its nice to do it in front of the school and everything.

Police investigating rape of 13year-old-girl

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Two Men have been arrested of raping a 13 year old girl by county sheriffs. Police arrested Irvin J. Branson, 25, of Chaptico and his brother Gary I. Branson, 21, of Clements April 17 when their alleged victim told police that Irvin Branson, a convicted sex offender, had had sex with her on four separate occasions over about a two week period. Because of the victims age and the sensitivity of the case, The County Times is not reporting the name of the victim. According to charging documents filed in District Court by the county sheriffs office, the victim claimed that Irvin Branson had consensual sex with Irvin Branson over the Spring Break holiday at the Mill Point community beach in Chaptico. According to the charging documents Irvin Branson lived in close proximity to the victim. The same day deputies received word of the alleged rapes they interviewed Irvin Branson and found that he apparently knew that the girl was 13 and it would be illegal to have sex with her. We were informed early in the day and the detectives worked on the case into the late evening before the arrest was made, said Lt. Rick Burris, commander of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Both Irvin Branson and the victim said in the charging documents that a condom was used during intercourse. Gary Branson also admitted to having sex with the young girl on one occasion during the same period of time as Irvin Branson. According to charging documents, Gary Branson had sex with the 13-year-old girl in her own room at her home in Chaptico. Both were charged with 2nd degree rape. Each count could bring with it 20 years in prison. Both were arrested without incident. The countys sex offender registry can be accessed at the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office at www.firstsheriff.com.
