By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN Less than 18 hours after a disappointing loss to Great Mills in the first round of the Four Star Pizza Holiday Tournament, the Leonardtown Boys Basketball team returned to its home floor and stopped its one-game losing streak, upending Chopticon 46-36 in the Holiday Tournaments consolation game Friday afternoon. Weve got to play harder, and I think we did that today from start to finish, said Raiders head coach Jake Heibel. We hit the boards harder today than we did against Great Mills, said

Eric Chase, who shared with Jeff Wettingel and Drew Plath the team lead in scoring with nine points. The Raiders (5-1 overall, 3-0 in SMAC play) dropped a 46-32 decision to the Hornets in the opening round Thursday night, in a game where Heibel was in his words, disappointed with the effort. Give Great Mills credit, they had an excellent game plan, they outworked us, Heibel said Thursday night after a game in which the Raiders never led and were victimized by the Hornets ability to limit the Raiders possessions.

Hornets Fall Short In Title Game

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN It took an extra four minutes of overtime to decide a winner Friday Nights Four Star Pizza Holiday Tournament Boys Championship Game. At the end, Walter Johnson High School of Bethesda was still standing, barely. The Wildcats overcame an 11-point deficit and blowing two late leads to defeat Great Mills 62-61 at Leonardtown High School. We made enough mistakes for them to come back from 11 points down, said Great Mills head coach Frank Peck. Sloppy passes, bad shots and silly fouls allow a team to come back. After trailing by as many as 11 early in the third quarter, the Wildcats, led by junior guards Nash Oh and Carl Yaffe, took control of the game, outscoring the Hornets 21-7 over the third and fourth quarters, culminating with an Oh drive and reverse lay-up to open up a 55-52 lead. After Ohs lay-up, senior guard Zack Sawyer drilled a three-pointer with 1:24 left in regulation to knot the score at 55. Sawyers trey would be the last points of regulation, as neither team could take advantage of its final two possessions. In the overtime, Walter Johnson would open up a 61-57 before Johnny Dickerson hit a baseline jumper and Antonis Moye sunk two clutch free throws to knot the score at 61 in the final minute. The Wildcats worked the clock down to 11.4 seconds, where Matt Grady was fouled. Grady hit one of two free throws for the lead and after Sawyer was fouled See Title Game page B-2

Hornet Girls Cruise To Tournament Title

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN While the scores seemed to favor the Great Mills girls basketball team having an easy time of it Thursday and Friday, head coach Brian Weisner prefers to look at intangibles rather than the margin of victory. Were looking at the effort and mentality, Weisner said following the Hornets 62-27 Four Star Pizza Holiday Championship win over Chopticon Friday Night at Leonardtown High. They still know they have some other things to work on. Looks certainly were deceiving during the two games the Hornets (now 8-0 on the season) played, winning their games by an average margin of 32.5 points per contest. Defense was also a key with the Hornets limiting St. Marys County foes Leonardtown and Chopticon to a combined 62 points over both nights. For us, our defense is about tempo, to get a fast pace going, Weisner said of the aggressive full-court style that suffocated the Lady Raiders and Lady Braves in winning the Holiday Tournament for the second straight year. We want the kids to work hard and the best way to do that is pressure the ball. Junior guard Corleida Naylor (the title games high scorer with 14 points) was named the tournaments Most Outstanding Player, while Megan Matheny and Shamara Adams were also named to the all tournament team on the girls side. Matheny and senior forward Ashley Lindsey contributed 10 points each in the championship game victory.

Consolation Game
Continued from page B- Friday afternoon, where the Raiders took a page out of the Hornets playbook, spreading the floor and scaling back on jump shots in favor of easier shots from close range. I told our kids we want only layups, Heibel explained. We also wanted to force Chopticons hand and try to shorten the game. We kind of knew that they were going to try and let the air out of the ball, said Braves head coach Terry Mumau. We mightve waited too long to get out on them defensively,

but you dont want to jump the gun. Even with the spread offense and the sizeable defecit, the Braves didnt give in. Led by junior guard Derrell Wrights game-high 11 points, Chopticon rallied early in the fourth quarter to come within 35-30 after a Wright triple. The Raiders got a key basket later in the period when Plath, a 67 center, hit a hook shot over Braves big man Jack Biller and drew the foul for an eight-point lead. The Braves had a hard time hitting shots after that, and Tyre Herbert nailed three of four free throws down the stretch for insurance. We got looks, we just didnt make the shots, Mumau explained. And against a good team like Leonardtown, you better make them.

a chance to repeat as tournament champions. Peck felt that his team settled for too many jump shots instead of attacking the basket once they got the double-digit lead. I think that got us out of our rhythm, he said.

Seahawks Rebound with 76-66 Victory Behind Saint-Aubins 28

St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands Sophomore guard Steph Saint-Aubin (Bowie, Md./Elizabeth Seton) was just one-point shy of matching her career-high as Saint-Aubin poured in 28 points in leading the St. Marys College of Maryland womens basketball team to third-place at the 2007 Sunsational Hoops Classic. The Seahawks (7-3) posted a 76-66 victory over the Crusaders of Alvernia College Sunday night. Saint-Aubin represented St. Marys on the All-Tournament Team as she tallied a two-day total of 43 points. Tournament champion, No. 12/14 Kean University, placed three on the all-star squad with Cardiss Jackman (MVP), Ebony Jackson, and Melissa Beyruti. Rounding out the rest of the team was Alvernias Jill Rosolie and Cabrini Colleges Deana DiAmico. The game opened up with a technical foul on Alvernia (3-5) for not having reported its starters by the appropriate time. With momentum in St. Marys favor from the beginning, the Seahawks never trailed in this contest. Following a lay-up by Saint-Aubin at 14:46, both teams hit a bit of a lull as neither squad could connect on a field goal for a span of four minutes. The drought was ended by a lay-up by Joanna Graber. SMCM went on to post a 19-10 advantage with 9:20 before another dry spell fell upon both teams again. After Ashley Blevins pulled the Crusaders within 20-17 at 7:26, no scoring was to be had for the next two and a half minutes. Freshman forward Tiara Hurte (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) ended scoreless span with a lay-up at 4:55. From there, the Seahawks closed out the half on a 20-11 run for a 42-28 halftime advantage. Saint-Aubin paced all players with 20 first-half points, while Rosolie led Alvernia with 11 points off the bench. St. Marys defense held the Crusaders scoreless from three-point range as AC went 0-for-5. Junior forward Allie Scott (Laurel, Md./ Atholton) gave St. Marys its biggest lead of the contest with her jumper at 19:25 (44-28). The Seahawks maintained a double-digit advantage for most of the second half, leading 62-49 at 9:18, until an 11-0 run by the Crusaders capped by a Graber trey had them knocking on the door with 5:12 left in the game and only trailing 62-60. Alvernia never got any closer as St. Marys closed out the game on a 14-6 run for the 76-66 victory. Along with her 28 points, Saint-Aubin also had eight boards. Scott finished with 14 points, while senior guard Megan Uglik (Mt. Airy, Md./Linganore) added a dozen and dished out a game-high six assists. Rosolie paced her squad with 19 points on 11-of-12 shooting from the free throw line, while Graber chipped in 15. Tracee Harrison hauled in a game-best 11 rebounds and tallied nine points. St. Marys will enjoy the rest of its stay in the U.S. Virgin Islands before hitting the court again on Wednesday, January 9, 2008 when the Seahawks host conference foe, York (Pa.) College at 6:00.

Celtic Society of Southern Maryland

As you put away tins of Christmas goodies and new year tinsel, plan to join the Celtic Society of Southern Maryland (CSSM) in the annual celebration of Robert Burns Night, Saturday, January 19, 2008, at the Elks Lodge in Prince Frederick, 1015 Dares Beach Road. Tickets are $50 per person; childrens tickets are available. Social hour and cash bar begin at 5:30 p.m. followed by entertainment and dinner.

There will be haggis, roast beef, lamb, white fish, bagpipes and highland dancers. The ritual, now celebrated all over the world near or on Robert Burns birthday of January 25, began 200 years ago when, in 1796, close friends of Scotlands most famous poet, Robert Burns, held a supper in tribute to his memory. The basic format for the evening has remained unchanged since and begins when the chair invites the company to receive the haggis. We must receive your RSVP and payment by January 12.

17 Year Olds can Vote in the Primary

At its December 20th meeting, the Maryland State Board of Elections reached a unanimous decision to follow the advice of Attorney General Douglas Gansler to implement Maryland law as it has in the past - by registering and allowing a 17 year old who will be 18 on or before the next succeeding general or special election to vote in a primary election. Previous advice from Mr. Ganslers office had determined that 17 year olds could not vote in primary elections. However, his recent advice stated that the associational rights of the political parties, as guaranteed by the First Amendment, allows the parties to determine whether a 17 year old who will be 18 by the next succeeding general election may vote in the partys primary. Both the Maryland Democratic and Republican Parties have explicitly stated that a 17 year old registered with the party may vote in that partys primary election. To implement the decision to allow eligible 17 year olds to vote and to ensure that 17 year olds who will be 18 on or before the next general or special election know that they have the right to register and vote in the upcoming Presidential Primary Election, the State Board will take the following actions: 1. Inform all 17 year olds who have previously submitted voter registration applications that they are now active registered voters who are eligible to vote in the primary election of the party with which they are affiliated; 2. Inform the 24 local boards of elections of the State Boards decision so they can ensure that all future voter registration applications submitted by 17 year olds will be accepted; 3. Request that Nancy Grasmick, State Superintendent of Schools, provide assistance with ensuring that 17 year olds in State schools are aware that they can register and vote in the upcoming Presidential Primary Election if they will be 18 on or before the general election; and 4. Request that the political parties work towards getting 17 year olds to register to vote. The 2008 Presidential Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, February 12, 2008. The deadline to register to vote in this election is Tuesday, January 22, 2008. Voter registration applications are available at www.election. state.md.us

Overweight? You Could Blame Intestinal Bacteria

Phocus Video Communications, a Lexington Park based, multi-media production house, has been chosen as a winner of a bronze Telly Award for a program produced in support of the new Navy Standard Core Menu. This honor marks the eighth Telly award for the local company. The annual Telly Award competition draws over 14,000 entries from all 50 states and 30 foreign countries. Entries are judged based on a high standard of creative excellence and submissions from the likes of HGTV, Christian Broadcasting Network, the Comedy Channel, and The History Channel are past competitors for the prestigious awards.

Fresh Ideas on Food was produced for the Naval Supply Systems Command to introduce the new standard menu being implemented across all 343 Navy galleys. The new core menu reduces the workload in the galley, increases the efficiency of Distance Support and contributes to healthier, happier sailors with nutritious flavorful meals. This was an exciting project to produce, said David Taylor, owner of Phocus Video Communications. Our crew traveled to San Diego to shoot on board the USS Boxer and interview the CNSF Force Supply Officer, Capt. Harry Davis. The program combines that footage with interviews shot on board the USS

Nitze in Norfolk as well as stock footage, graphics and animation to provide a product that not only met the high standards of the US Navy, but upheld the creative standard of excellence set by the Telly Awards. With over 20 years experience and as many national awards, Phocus Video Communications is the leader in multimedia communication production for the region. They have been named to the Federal Governments Qualified Video Producers List. Their business philosophy centers on providing professional, personalized service to create an economical product without sacrificing quality.

Have you made a resolution to drop a few pounds only to find that no matter what diet you follow, you dont see much of a change when you get on the scale? You may be able to blame intestinal bacteria, say researchers. There are trillions of bacteria living on the skin, in the nose, mouth, stomach, and intestines of the human body. Most of these bacteria are microscopic helpers, doing the cleaning and breakdown tasks necessary for healthy living. They digest food particles that people simply cannot digest on their own. In recent years, emphasis into the study of intestinal bacteria has increased. Up until now, the depths of the digestive tract have gone largely unexplored. Scientists are now discovering connections between bacteria and the way food is used and produced for the body. An offshoot of this research is probiotics. Probiotics are dietary supplements containing potentially beneficial bacteria to help with digestion. Probiotic supplementation is popping up in yogurt and other food sources. These helpful bacteria are purported to fend off stomach discomfort and diarrhea. Too much of a good thing ... In regard to obesity, researchers have discovered that some of the bacteria residing in the gastrointestinal system are just too good at their jobs; call them the overachievers of the intestines. Research has indicated that bacteria in the guts of obese mice are better at extracting energy from food than the gut bacteria in lean mice. Basically, the obese mice take away more energy (calories) from their food than the lean mice. Whats more, when the lean mice were injected with the bacteria from fat mice, they gained weight, too.

When human subjects were introduced, most of the same conclusions were found. Bacteria called Firmicutes seem to be the bacteria responsible for high energy consumption, while Bacteroidetes are the bacteria that use the energy and burn off excess calories. More Frimicutes were found in obese individuals. The theory is the Firmicutes are like a fuel-efficient car, taking more energy from the fuel (food) and passing it on to the vehicle (body). While the Bacteroidetes are gas guzzlers, quickly depleting the fuel stores. More Firmicutes are present in obese mice and humans. And in studies, regardless of what the obese test subjects ate - whether lowfat food or high-caloric junk - Firmicutes simply extracted a higher level of calories. This means depending upon the bacteria present in the gut, a person may extract different amounts of calories from foods. So if a person with more Firmicutes and one with less ate the same food containing 100 calories in a serving, the Firmicutes-rich gut may absorb more calories than the Bacteroidetes-rich gut. A difference of even 10 to 20 calories a day could add up to significant weight differences. Not a free for all This research doesnt indicate that a person should go to extremes with consuming high-fat foods and blame weight gain simply on microbiotics. These bacteria are just one factor into the reasons why some people seems to process food differently than others. A balanced diet and exercise are still the best means to keeping a healthy weight.

Is your older canine friend acting confused, staring into space, or wandering aimlessly? There is a chance that he may have canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS), similar to Alzheimers disease in humans. The TriCounty Animal Shelter wants you to know that this may not be a normal part of aging; instead it may be due to physical changes in the brain

and a deficiency of a vital neurotransmitter called dopamine. Symptoms include: Decreased interactions with family members Increased time spent dozing or sleeping Pacing or wandering aimlessly Staring at walls or ending up trapped in corners Not recognizing familiar people Not responding to their name or known commands House soiling The good news is that treatment is available, though it may not work in all dogs. Your veterinarian can prescribe medication that increases the amount of dopamine in the brain. The clinical effect in dogs can be dramatic and can allow your dog to enjoy a higher quality of life. Since the symptoms of CDS wont show up during a physical exam, its important that you inform your veterinarian of the symptoms and when they started. As someone who sees your pet every day, you will be the first to notice any subtle changes, and you are your pets best ally in the quest for obtaining prompt and proper treatment. If you see any of these symptoms in your aging dog, contact your veterinarian today. Together, you and your veterinarian can develop a diagnosis and treatment plan for your canine friend.

Shots fired
On 12/29/07 Deputy First Class Shawn Moses responded to a report of a subject shooting a rifle at several persons who were hunting at a pond nearby. Investigation by Moses revealed Terry A. Clarke, 44, of California allegedly began shooting a Bushmaster AR-15 at three victims who were hunting at a pond located near the suspects residence. Clarke advised the victims weapons were making to much noise. Contact was made with Clarke and further investigation revealed Clarke was in possession of a regulated firearm after being a convicted felon. Moses was able to determine the suspect was

in possession of several other regulated firearms, which were inside Clarkes residence. Members of the Bureau of Criminal Investigations were contacted and a search and seizure warrant was obtained to search Clarkes residence. As a result, a search of the residence revealed numerous rifles, shotguns, handguns, and approximately 3000 rounds of ammunition were recovered from the residence. Moses placed Clarke in custody and transported him to the detention center where he was charged with three counts of first degree assault, three counts of second degree assault, three counts of reckless endangerment and possession of regulated firearms by a

Treetop Antics: Orangutan Style

Can you imagine spending most of your life living in trees? Orangutans do. In fact, they are the largest arboreal animals on earth, which means they live high above the ground in treetops. Swing fling. So what do orangutans do all day? These totally cute guys have a swinging good time, thats what! The fun-loving shaggy creatures with thick necks, long, strong arms with hook-shaped hands and feet, and short bowed legs spend lots of hours swinging from tree to tree. They do this by grasping branches and vines with those awesome arms, hands and feet, then swinging their bulky bodies across the gap. Whew! Safety first. Orangutans are cautious, too. They wont cross over to another tree unless one hand is safely on a branch. But what about the little babies that havent learned how to swing? No problem. Mama orangutan comes to the rescue. She stretches her big furry body between two trees making herself a living bridge so the little ones can scamper across. Now thats really cool! Crafty creatures. Orangutans dont stray far from their tree top homes when theyre thirsty. A sip of water collected in tree hollows, on leaves, or even on their own fur will do fine. They also use smaller leaves as cups to hold water and the larger ones as umbrellas to help keep them dry. And guess what? If you were an orangutan, you could sleep on a fresh mattress every night. These engaging animals are really smart. Each evening, they build a new mattress nest of fronds and twigs, including a roof of extra large leaves in case it rains. Orangutans favorite food is fruit, but tender leaves and bark, insects, eggs, and small animals are also on the menu. And in case youre wondering, the word orangutan means man of the forest in Malay, an Indonesian language. Endangered species. These shy, solitary

Sudoku

animals live in the tropical rain forests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra in the countries of Indonesia and Malaysia. See if you can find their home on a map. Hint: Look south of Thailand in Southeast Asia. Orangutans live about 30 to 45 years in the wild and about 50 years in captivity. Adult males weigh around 200 pounds and females are about half that size. Sadly, these beautiful creatures are endangered. Their numbers are getting smaller every year because humans are destroying their habitat by cutting down too many trees. Also, baby orangutans are being captured and sold as pets. Several years ago, thousands of these animals were killed and habitats destroyed when huge fires swept through Borneo and Sumatra. To learn more about these special animals, check out www.pbs. org/wnet/nature/orangutans.
