Seahawks Fall Season Heats Up

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer The fall sports season at Saint Marys College is heating up. Here is a team-by-team look at what the Seahawks have been up to since August. Volleyball: The Seahawks volleyball team has been on a tear this fall season. The squad has only lost twice in 20 matches and is in first place in the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) with a perfect 3-0 record. Salisbury is close behind the Hawks in conference standings with a 3-0 CAC record and an 18-5 season record. Most recently, the Seahawks swept a quad match they hosted on Saturday. SMC went 3-0, defeating Bryn Mawr, Mount St. Marys (N.Y.) and Goucher, all by a score of 3-0. Over those three matches, Saint Marys served up 45 aces, and setters Jenn Feldmann and Megan Graydon combined for 93 assists. The sweep in the quad match extended the Hawks winning streak to five matches. Their last loss was Sept. 22 against Franklin & Marshall. The teams longest streak this year was a seven match winning stretch that spanned from Sept. 1222. On Wednesday, the Seahawks hosted Wesley College in CAC action. Results from that match were unavailable when the County Times went to press. Following that match, SMC has a week break. They will play again Oct. 11 against Trinity (D.C.). Mens Soccer: The mens soccer team is back on track with two consecutive wins, snapping a four game losing streak. The Seahawks latest win was a 3-1 victory over Hood College. Saturday afternoon, SMC recorded a 1-0 shutout over Villa Julie College on the road. On Sept. 26, SMC had a 4-1 win against Bridgewater (Va.). At 4-6 on the season and 2-2 in the conference, the Hawks are in sixth place in the CAC. The Seahawks looked strong in the in over Hood, taking a 1-0 halftime lead thanks to a header by senior defender Mike Rohrs. Sophomore forward Chad Henry and senior forward Cyrus Albertson increased the lead to 3-0 in the second half. SMC out-shot the Blazers 35-11 throughout the game. The Hawks returned to action Monday in a game against Hood College. Following a road game against York next Saturday, SMC has a three game home stretch. Field Hockey: The SMC field hockey has been tough to beat at home this season. Currently, the Hawks are on a 10 game win streak in contests played in St. Marys City. On Saturday, the Seahawks defeated York College 2-0 to improve their record to 7-2 on the season and 4-1 in the conference. They havent lost since Sept. 17, when they suffered a 1-0 overtime setback against Lynchburg College. Against York Saturday, senior forward Marianne Wood scored SMCs first goal at the 15:38 mark. The Seahawks out-shot York 7-1 in the first half. In the second See SMC Fall Sports page B-3

Cougars Win On the Road, 5-3

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Thomas Stones girls soccer team scored three first half goals and added two in the second half to defeat Great Mills Monday night. But a hat-trick performance by Hornet senior captain Alex Baker sparked Great Mills during the second half, boosting the teams confidence and proving that they can play with any team in the league. Baker says the team has evolved since the beginning of the season. We went from losing to Leonardtown 10-0 and having no composure to playing like a team and playing more thoughtful soccer, she said. Great Mills played Stone very evenly in the second half, matching their two goals and applying more pressure on the Cougars than they did in the first half. I wonder, if we played the first half like we did in the second, if it would have been a different outcome, Great Mills Head Coach Amy Herndon said. In the first half, Stones offense came out firing. The Cougars had a couple shots on goal and corner kick opportunities in the opening minutes, and 11 minutes into the first half, forward Sam Ondrejak, who also recorded a hat trick, scored on a long floater that Hornet keeper Shannon Barr managed to get just her fingertips on. Not long after that, Stones Katrina Saudy booted a long free kick into the right corner of the net from about 30 yards out to make it a 2-0 game. Barr made a couple great saves following that goal, but the Cougars offense continued to push, and forward Ashley Randall tapped in a goal, when a save by Barr came loose right in front of the net. It was all about being in the right place at the right time, said Thomas Stone Head Coach Andrew Prozig. Great Mills began to find its rhythm late in the second half, and See Cougars Soccer page B-2

Wood Selected as CAC Field Hockey Player of the Week

St. Marys City, Md. Marianne Wood (Wakefield, Mass./Wakefield Memorial) becomes the second St. Marys College of Maryland field hockey player to be named the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) Field Hockey Player of the Week as Wood earned the honor for the week ending September 30. The other Seahawk to have picked up the honor is junior forward Emily Norris (Timonium, Md./Dulaney) who garnered the citation for the week ending September 16. In a pair of games this past week, the forward notched two goals and an assist in leading the Seahawks to victories over McDaniel College and conference foe, York (Pa.) College. Wood started off the week by giving St. Marys a 2-0 lead with her fifth goal of the season as the Hawks went on to hand McDaniel a 4-0 setback. She followed that up with a goal and an assist in the Seahawks 2-0 shutSee Player of the Week page B-3

Hornets Keep on Winning

Great Mills Varsity Field Hockey continues their winning streak by shutting out LaPlata High School 1-0 on Thursday, September 20th, as well as Chopticon High School 3-0 on September 25th. The Great mills Hornets started things off during the Chopticon game when midfielder Gretchen Hafner drove a hard ball at the cage.

Cougars Soccer
Continued from page B- sophomore forward Nelka Caceres-Rivera had a great shot on goal, but Stones keeper made an equally great save. But with 4:30 to go, Caceres-Rivera got the ball again, and this time crossed it to Baker, who stopped 20 yards from the goal, spotted up, and blasted it into the left corner of the net. Though the Bakers late first half goal brought life to the Hornets, Stone still managed to break through the Great Mills defense and score again with 25:00 to play in the game, making it 4-1. When [Great Mills] scored at the end of the first half, we knew the next goal was going to be very important, said Prozig. About five minutes later, Stone extended its lead to four goals, but the Hornets still didnt give up. Herndon attributes much of her teams resiliency to Bakers hard work on the field. Her hustle inspires everyone to never give up, Herndon said. No matter what the score is. Down by four, freshman midfielder Hope Ironmonger found Baker on a corner kick pass. Baker headed the ball into the top of the net for her second goal. She originally created the corner kick opportunity by firing a long shot off the gloves of Stones keeper. With 7:35 remaining in the game, Baker broke free, chasing a long pass and facing no Cougar defenders except for the keeper. The goalkeeper sprinted at Baker, trying to take the ball from her feet, but Baker lobbed it just over the keeper and into the net. Unfortunately for the Hornets, who were coming on strong late in the game, the final whistle was blown just minutes later. According to Baker, the way the team played in the second half proves that the young squad is on the right path. We have a lot of new people on the team and before, the new players were afraid to talk with the older players, but were moving that hurdle now, she said. We want more wins, and we know we can do it. We know we can put two halves together A group of Thomas Stone defenders swarm Great Mills senior midfielder Amy Hofmeister during their 5-3 win. and pull it out.

Ive met some other wonderful people thanks to this job, including sportswriter and columnist Washington Post Tony Kornheiser and several University of Maryland basketball players (Landon Milbourne and Greivis Vasquez) whom are likely to go professional. I also got to interview a local football player, Terry Cauley, who was signed by the Washington Redskins. All in all, it has just been a great year for me here, and once again, Id like to thank everyone who made it possible. I wish all the student athletes, fans, coaches, and parents that Ive met the best of luck in their future endeavors. Wherever the road decides to take me next, one thing is certain, Ill always have a little bit of St. Marys County in me. Thank you and so long, Andrew

In the Knowl
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Writing this weekly column has been one of the most enjoyable and also difficult jobs Ive had here at the County Times. Thinking of a different idea to fill this space with each week can sometimes be extremely tough, and other times, it can be extremely easy. This week was one of the easy ones. I am writing to say farewell and thank you to everyone who has made this year in St. Marys County a truly amazing and unforgettable experience. When I moved here almost a year ago from Silver Spring, I didnt know a single person. It was an adventure. Now, Ive decided to take on new challenges and move on. Another adventure awaits. I have truly enjoyed covering sports here in St. Marys County. And what a year its been! Ive had the opportunity to witness several teams from the area win county, regional, conference and even a state championship. Ive seen teams make history, like when Leonardtown won the girls state soccer championship, or

The Seahawks are currently in second place in the CAC, behind Salisbury (10-1 overall, 2-0 CAC). Womens Soccer: The womens soccer team is on a bit of a rough patch right now. They have lost their last four games, falling to No. 18 Johns Hopkins 4-0, Elizabethtown 31, Villa Julie College 3-1, and Washington & Lee 2-0. Fortunately, the Seahawks won their three games before that, taking down Hood College, Gallaudet, and Methodist. They hold a record of 4-7-0 overall and 2-1-0 in the conference. The Seahawks have a chance to bounce back and end their losing streak Oct. 3 as they face Mary Washington in a CAC contest. Despite losing the last four, SMC is still in the mix. Only three teams (Salisbury, York and Mary Washington) have better records in the CAC. ticon fought hard to come back, the Hornets scored yet another goal with 11:37 left with an assist from Junior Hannah Morse, midfielder Kimmie Copeland slammed the ball in the goal to seal the deal.

Through some of the events Ive covered, such as the Motocross of Nations last week, the skateboard tournament in Lexington Park about a month ago, and sailing events at St. Marys College Ive been able to learn a lot about sports that I didnt know much about before. Not only are the sports teams fantastic and exciting to watch, but also the athletes, coaches, fans and families couldnt have been any more of a pleasure to work with. From day one, everyone has been so kind and welcoming. From the high school teams, to slow-pitch softball teams, to little league sports, to Saint Marys College, to club teams, everyone Ive come across has been great. Youve all made me feel like Ive been a resident of St. Marys County my entire life. Ive always held the belief sports can bring out the best in people, and this year at the County Times really just proved that to be true. Along with the great people of St. Marys County,

September 25, 2007 - On a warm, sunny fall afternoon, the CSM womens soccer team defeated Frederick 4-2. Alison Pancotti had a hand in all four Hawk goals, scoring twice and assisting on the other two Hawk goals. CSM dominated play for most of the game, pressing the attack into the Frederick end, outshooting the Cougars 16-4 in the first half, and 28-5 for the game. Some brilliant goalkeeping by Cougar goalkeeper Mary Leatherman kept Frederick in the game, as she made several outstanding saves to keep the game scoreless for the first 30:00 of the game. Allison Pancotti finally broke the scoring drought, hitting a perfectly placed high arching shot over Leatherman from 10 feet out, after Ashley Simones corner kick, to put CSM

up 1-0. Less then three minutes later Pancotti gave the Hawks a 2-0 lead, as she received a pass from Colleen Loux and drilled a shot from 14 feet out. CSM went up 3-0 with 11:22 left in the half as Pancottis long centering pass from the side found Melinda Carty open in front of the left post, and Carty booted the ball home. Frederick (3-3, 0-2) got on the scoreboard with 8:21 to play, when Katie Seiforth scored after receiving a centering pass from Becky Spates, to make the score 3-1 at the half. CSM (5-2, 3-1) would have several scoring chances in the second half, but could only net one goal. Ashley Simone found net with 32:51 to play after receiving a crossing pass from Alison Pancotti, to give CSM a 4-1 lead. Ashley Polvi-Cross scored for the Cougars after receiving a pass from Katie Seiforth for the final 4-2 margin. The Hawks are off until next week, when they travel to Harford on Tuesday, Oct. 2, for another key MDJUCO contest.

7 Ways to Adorn the Home With Autumn Color

The beauty of autumn hues is perhaps only surpassed by the the grandeur of holiday lights and trimmings. But before you get set to deck your house in Christmas flair, transform it into an autumnal wonder in time for the month of November and your Thanksgiving feast. 1. Borrowing from the shades of nature is one of the easiest ways to transform interior and exterior into beautiful fall scapes. Take advantage of hardy mums in bold yellows, russets, and oranges to give flowerbeds a fall feel. Put a bunch of burgundy dahlias into a vase and surround it with fresh pears and pomegranates for an easy table centerpiece. 2. Reclaim your youth and get the kids involved in a fun project that can be used to display some fall foliage. Gather good specimens of fallen leaves in bright autumn colors. Place a few leaves between two pieces of waxed paper and seal together with an iron set to a low temperature. Frame the artwork and display. 3. Wreaths arent just for the winter holidays. Wind evergreen boughs around a grapevine wreath and dot with small gourds and faux or real garlands of leaves. Hang on the front door or over the fireplace. 4. Autumn often evokes visions of forests and woodland retreats. Transform any home into a cozy cabin by mimicking some of the design styles. Place a checkered tablecloth on the kitchen or dining room table. Wooden ducks or bowls full of pine cones can add some country charm. Rustic wood accents from picture frames to gathered twigs placed in a vase also add to the appeal. 5. Even if you havent fired up your fireplace for the season, make sure its a focal point of the room. Place fall-colored candles right in the hearth and drape garland on the mantle. 6. Use gourds, fruit, and vegetables. Fresh fruit and seasonal items add easy color outdoors or inside. Orange pumpkins, speckled gourds, Indian corn, and even yellow squash can quickly put spots of color where you need it. Using fruit and vegetables is an inexpensive way to add impact to decor and centerpieces. 7. Spend a day gathering acorns and pine cones with the kids. Tie a ribbon onto the stems or one of the cone shoots and attach to a cardboard tag. Use these seasonal picks for place cards at your Thanksgiving table.

He wrote the first external grant award received by the Center in 2002 from the Library of Congress Open World Leadership program. Cain was a principal author for the $500,000 National Endowment for the Humanities We the People challenge grant received by the Center in 2004. He has also helped develop the new Democracy Studies program at the College. The Center for the Study of Democracy is an important part of Marylands political landscape, said Cain. It has made a real difference in educating people about political issues and their significance in our lives. I intend to continue the Centers broad political engagement of students while encouraging the wider Maryland community to discuss pressing political issues facing our

democracy. This year the Center plans to host talks and forums on Latin American politics and immigration, the Iraq war, terrorism and the media, health care in Maryland and discussions on the form of local government in the state.

Is This The Best Time To Adopt A Pet?
Are you considering adding a pet to your family? Pets can be a wonderful addition to the family, but they are also a big responsibility. You need to be realistic about the time and financial commitment involved. You should also be clear about the reasons you want a pet, and who in the family will be responsible for the care and health of the pet. Keep in mind that the dog or cat you adopt today may be with you for the next ten to twenty years!

Ask yourself how your pet would fit in if any of the following events were to occur in your home during the pets lifetime: Marriage/Divorce Pregnancy/new baby Moving Change in work status (family member gets a job or retires) Change in work hours (longer hours, change in start time, more responsibility) Limited free time Financial concerns Children leaving or moving back home Care-taking responsibilities for elderly or ill family member Other pets already in the home Someone in the family with pet allergies. If these events have occurred within the past six months, or may occur within the next six months, you may want to postpone getting a pet until the dust settles. Should you decide that you are ready to add a pet to your family, please visit the Tri-County Animal Shelter. We have many wonderful animals just waiting for a great home. Our staff is ready to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle.

Tailgating a Time Honored Football Tradition

Over the years, football has gradually overcome baseball as Americas most-watched sport. Though baseball is still known as Americas pastime, football has become an integral part of many a familys fall and winter weekends. Be it high school football under the lights on Friday nights or Saturday afternoons spent watching the alma mater take on a rival college or Sundays spent watching game after game after game, football is arguably the countrys sport of choice for the 21st Century. Perhaps more synonymous with football than even the pigskin itself is tailgating. Fans attending games love gathering in the parking lot both before and after the big game and sharing good food. Even if youre not heading to the nearest stadium, football parties have become increasingly popular over the years, with food playing a big part in that popularity. Sports fan and award-winning food writer Debbie Moose is no stranger to this trend, as her new book Fan Fare (Harvard Common Press) offers both classic and innovative recipes for sporting cuisine, such as the following recipe for Carolina Champions Shrimp Bowl.

Games

Sudoku

Carolina Champions Shrimp Bowl

Serves 6 3 lemons, each cut in half 1 package crab boil-in-a-bag 2 pounds small red or new potatoes, unpeeled 1 medium-size yellow onion 3 large cloves garlic, crushed 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce 3 large or 4 small ears fresh corn, shucked and cleaned 112 pounds medium-size shrimp - melted butter, seafood cocktail sauce

1. Add the lemon halves and crab boil-in-a-bag to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. The pot needs to be big enough to hold all the ingredients, which you will add in stages; dont overfill with water. 2. Cut the potatoes into quarters, making sure the pieces are roughly the same size. Cut the onion into quarters. 3. When the water comes to a boil, add the potatoes, onion, garlic, Old Bay, and hot pepper sauce. Cover, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces the

potatoes. 4. Break the ears of corn into pieces about 3 inches long. Add the corn to the pot, return to a boil, and cook, uncovered, for about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and stir. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through; be careful not overcook. 5. Drain immediately in a large strainer. Discard the crab boil bag and lemon halves, and pour everything into a large serving bowl. Serve hot or warm, with melted butter, seafood cocktail sauce and lemon wedges, if desired.
