The Leonardtown High School Ice Hockey team battled from a two-goal deficit, but couldn’t hold the lead as Thomas Stone prevailed 4-3 in Maryland Scholastic Hockey League action last Wednesday night in Waldorf.

“I thought we played well, the way they played tonight was how I want them to play,” Raiders head coach Rob Barthelmes said. “We just couldn’t find the back of the net.”

Thomas Stone jumped out to a

But Keep Patuxent Winless

LEONARDTOWN - Jake Heibel wasn’t sure which team was 0-12 com-ing into last Wednesday night’s SMAC boys’ basketball game.

“I give Patuxent credit, they played hard and they’re going to get a win sooner or later,” the Leonardtown boys’ basketball coach said after his Raiders escaped with a 64-55 win over the Panthers. “We had chances to put the game away, and we didn’t. That gave them a chance to get back in the game.”

Eric Chase, despite being in foul trouble for most of the second half, led three Raiders in double figures with 17 points, while Moe Stone and Tyre Herbert added 15 and 13 points respectively.

“Coach told us these are the type of teams we need to watch out for,” Stone said. “They didn’t have anything to lose, and we didn’t want to overlook them.”

After a slow first quarter start that left them trailing 12-5 after a Mark An-dreas lay-up, the Raiders (8-5 overall, 4-3 in conference play) promptly out-scored the Panthers 25-8 for the rest of the half, ending with a Drew Plath jumper as the second quarter buzzer expired, giving Leonardtown a 30-20 lead at intermission.

Yet the Panthers (0-13 overall, 0-7 in SMAC play) refused to quit, climbing back to within as little as three points (49-46) after Eric Gray hit the first of two free throws with six minutes left in the fourth quarter.

GREAT MILLS – Routinely out-matched in size, but never in heart, Great Mills senior forward Andre Butler makes the most of what he does have; boundless athleticism.

At just 6’ even, Butler is still a force in the low post, scoring a game-high 18 points to lead the Hornets to a 71-60 victory over visiting Urbana High in non-conference boys’ bas-ketball action Friday night.

“He plays taller than what he is,” head coach Frank Peck said. “We have to rely on athleticism, being that we don’t have a lot of height on the team.”

After the first three quarters were evenly matched, Butler sparked the Hornets’ (7-7 overall, �-5 in SMAC play) 27-18 fourth quarter, and that was the difference.

The Hornets played without se-nior shooting guard Johnny Dicker-son, who suffered a broken nose and a concussion in the previous week’s loss to Huntingtown High School. Peck said Dickerson should be return in time for this week’s match-ups with McDonough and North Point.

With Great Mills’ lead shaved to four points after an Andrew Stephens three-pointer, Butler stood with the ball near mid-court to take time off the clock, then sped by Urbana’s Lex

Elizabethtown, Pa. – Junior forward Allie Scott (Laurel, Md./Atholton) and sophomore guard Steph Saint-Aubin (Bowie, Md./Eliz-abeth Seton) combined for 34 points in leading the St. Mary’s College of Maryland women’s basketball team to a 6�-52 road victory over non-conference opponent, Elizabethtown College, Monday night.

Scott tallied a game-high 22 points and matched her career-high for the second time with a game-high three blocks. Saint-Aubin recorded her fourth double-double of the sea-

son on 12 points and a game-high 10 boards, while also equaling her ca-reer-high for the fourth time with a game-high seven steals.

The Seahawks (12-6) never trailed in the contest as St. Mary’s shot a strong 45.2% from the floor in the first half to boast a �0-21 half-time lead. Scott led everyone at in-termission with 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting, while Saint-Aubin hauled in seven rebounds.

lumbus, N.J./Northern Burl-ington County) paced Eliza-bethtown with seven first-half points as the Blue Jays (9-8) could only muster 9-of-32 from the field in the first stanza.

St. Mary’s steadily in-creased its margin in the

second half as the Seahawks owned a double digit for the last 16:30 of the game. SMCM sported a 21-point (58-37) ad-vantage with a little over six minutes remaining. The Blue Jays put together a 15-3 run to pull within 61-52 at 00:58 but that would be the closest Elizabethtown would get as time expired.

Walton finished the night with a team-high 20 points,

six caroms, and four steals, while junior forward Jenn Montague (Newark, Del./St. Mark’s) added 11 points, sev-en rebounds, and four steals. As a team, the Blue Jays shot 30.5% from the floor, in-cluding going 1-for-10 from downtown. This is the third straight contest dropped by Elizabethtown.

So we all can agree that it doesn’t look promising for the New York Giants.

After becoming just the third team in the last 25 sea-sons (joining the 1985 New England Patriots and 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers) to win three playoff games on the road, the G-men are now faced with the daunting task of battling the National Foot-ball League’s first ever 18-win team, the undefeated New England Patriots in this com-ing Sunday’s Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona.

Despite Eli Manning’s coming-of-age post-season, the Giants still have to contend with all-world quarterback Tom Brady, a rejuvenated Randy Moss and the nastiest defense this side of the Steel Curtain of the 1970s. Then again, the Patriots know what it’s like to be gross underdogs in a Super Bowl.

No one gave the then-un-known Pats a chance six years ago when they took on the “Greatest Show on Turf,” the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans.

Three Super Bowl wins later, the Patriots are a mod-ern-day dynasty, looking to put the capper on a perfect season and join the 1972 Mi-ami Dolphins as the only un-

beaten and untied teams in the history of the NFL.

Until this season, the Giants were looked as un-derachievers, and their head coach Tom Coughlin was blamed for the team’s fail-ures by virtue of his strict and stuffy way of running things. However, with Manning imi-tating his big brother Peyton and the defense stepping up at key times, New York upended Tampa Bay, Dallas and Green Bay on the road to get to the fourth Super Bowl in the fran-chise’s history.

So is this year’s version of the Big Game as one-sided as it appears to be? Don’t be so sure. The Patriots, while seemingly invincible against most teams this season, had a hard time closing out their perfect regular season against these very same Giants Dec. 29 in the Meadowlands.

If the Giants are to have any prayer in this game, they must make second-year run-ning back Laurence Maroney beat them. Brady passed for 50 touchdowns in the regular season (an NFL record) and Moss is still an unbelievable fast and rangy target at 6’4 and had the best season of his 10-year career catching passes from Brady. The Pats also possess Wes Welker, an unknown star who caught a team record 112 passes this season. The Giants must shut

down Welker and Moss in or-der to force Maroney to carry the load for the Patriots.

Offensively, Eli Manning must continue his current hot streak. He has played mis-take free football since the playoffs started and is getting help from 6’5, 265-pound bat-tering ram Brandon Jacobs in the backfield. If Manning can hit Plaxico Burress with a few long passes and then hand the ball off to Jacobs to plow his way into the end zone, the Gi-ants will stay close.

The intangibles clearly lie in favor of the Patriots. Just one game away from go-ing 19-0 and cementing their legacy as one of the league’s true dynasties, coach Bill Belichick will have his team prepared and focused, as he is also trying to overcome Spy-gate, in which he was accused of planting cameras to steal signals from the New York Jets earlier this season.

In short, Super Bowl XLII is the clichéd David vs. Goliath match-up in which it looks like the Patriots will roll to their destiny. However, the New York Giants got to the Super Bowl by showing up and playing teams who they were given no chance to de-feat, and of course, they de-feated them.

Prediction: Patriots 34, Giants 23.

Super Bowl XLII PreviewNorth Huntingdon, Pa. – Michael Preston

(Pasadena, Md./Cardinal Gibbons) is now the third St. Mary’s College of Maryland swim-mer (and first male) to be named the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) Swimmer-of-the-Week for the week ending January 27 as an-nounced by Tom Byrnes, the CAC Commis-sioner, Monday afternoon.

Preston captured top honors in the 200 free and the 100 free and then contributed the third leg of the first-place 200 medley relay as the Seahawks picked up their first conference

victory to snap a three-meet losing skid and finish the regular season with a 2-5 overall re-cord (1-4 CAC). St. Mary’s handed Hood Col-lege a 121-55 setback this past Saturday.

For the second straight week, the junior freestyler was the only Seahawk to record multiple wins. Preston won the 200 free in 1:52.60, while earning the gold medal in the 100 free with a time of 51.60.

The 200 medley relay claimed the first-place spot with a time of 1:48.25.

Utt and found Tyler Sanders under the basket for a lay-up that made the score 58-52.

On the ensuing Hawks’ possession, Butler skied from nowhere to swat a shot from the 6’4 Utt into the stands, emphatically capping a night in which his full talents were on display.

“It is tougher going up against bigger guys,” Butler acknowledges, “so I use my speed and quickness to hit the boards and get my teammates the ball.”

In this up and down sea-son, the Hornets are stand-ing at the break-even mark, but Peck feels his players will determine if Great Mills can regain the form that won the SMAC title last season.

“It comes down to them

coming together as a team,” Peck said. “We can’t enjoy our wins too long and we have to bring it on the floor for con-secutive nights.”

Butler agreed. “As the season progresses, if we play better together, we’ll be tough to beat.”

Andrew Stephens and Brad Hickman led the Hawks (based out of Ijamsville, Fred-erick County) with 15 and 14 points respectively.

“I think our effort was on par for about three-fourths of the game,” said Panthers coach John McGuffin. “We’re going to keep fighting and putting it all out there.”

Three points were as close as Patuxent would get, as Herbert had consecutive steals and uncontested lay-ups to push the lead back to seven, and the Raiders made 14-of-17 free throws in the fourth quar-ter to close the game out.

Not only was Chase struggling with fouls, but ju-nior guard Jeff Wettingel is coming off of a shoulder in-jury, and did not play until the final five minutes when the Panthers made it uncomfort-able for the Raiders.

“I needed to put him in there to settle some things down, and things did settle down,” Heibel said. “Again, I give Patuxent credit and I’m very disappointed in our ef-fort. We played undisciplined

basketball tonight.” Trenton Barnett led the

Panthers with 15 points and

Gray added 14, career highs for both players.

taking their only lead on a

slap shot by Andrew Jack-son 26 seconds into the third period.

The Cougars (2-6-0 in league play) tied the game

13 seconds later on an Alex Huffman backhander, and it would stay that way for 11 minutes until a Thomas Stone power play.

Kayla Frazier stole the puck from a Leonardtown defender and slipped a shot past goalie Joey Rongione for the game-winner with 4:08 to go in the game. The Raiders (1-5-1 in MSHL Southern Di-vision play) had several shots at the net in the final seconds, but couldn’t get the tying goal.

Kyle Rhem and Charlie Yates scored two power play goals for Leonardtown, both coming in the eventful sec-ond period.

“I told our kids [after the game] that it’s going to be a different result if they contin-ue to play this well,” Barth-lemes said.

Rongione had 29 saves for Leonardtown, who will play St. Mary’s County foe Ryken Friday, Feb. 1 in Waldorf.

While repeating as champions in any sport is an accomplishment in itself, this just may be the beginning of a string of championships for the Leonardtown High School Girls Indoor track & field team.

Over the weekend at the Prince Georges County Sports Complex, the Raider girls dom-inated the competition, finishing 84 points ahead of second place LaPlata and 92 points ahead of the third-place finisher, Lackey High School, to clinch their second straight Southern Maryland Athletic Conference indoor champi-onship. “Obviously, winning cures all,” says

Leonardtown coach Shawn Snyder. “The girls stay motivated and love to compete.” Ju-nior Jessica Cooke finished second and third respectively in the long jump and high jump events. Caitlin Dillo and Jessica Gass won the mile and two-mile events, and as a team, the Raiders won the 4x400 and 4x800 relays.

Aside from his upperclassmen winning events, Snyder lauded the contributions of his freshmen, led by Cara McLaughlin, for add-ing to the depth of the team. “It’s always nice [to have that depth],” Snyder says. “We have so many people coming out for the team we end up making cuts, which I guess is a good thing.”

St. Mary’s County Health De-partment division of Environmental Health is warning local food service facilities about a national food prod-uct recall of large sized cans of green beans and garbanzo beans, some of which are known to have been dis-tributed in Maryland.

New Era Canning Company of New Era, Michigan has recalled cans of green beans and garbanzo beans in #10 cans (large cans containing between 6 and 7 pounds) that have specific codes on the can beginning with the numbers “00249,” or the let-ters “GREEN” or “GARB”.

A classic children’s sto-ry comes to the stage when the College of Southern Maryland’s Children’s The-atre Company presents “The Jungle Book” Jan. 25-27 and Feb. 1-3. The story written by Rudyard Kipling in 1894 was originally a

collection of short stories about the jungles of India. The best known are the stories about Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves and whose best friends are Baloo, the bear, and Bagheera, the black panther. Kipling’s original works were fables using ani-mals, with human traits

to relate moral lessons about life and society. Other animals that appear in the collection include Rikki-Tik-ki-Tavi, the mongoose; Kaa, the snake; and Shere Khan, the white tiger and Mowgli’s nemesis.

In “The Jungle Book” each of Mowgli’s experiences teach him about life, friend-ship, courage, responsibility and himself. His many adven-tures include a daring rescue from the Monkey King, a showdown with Shere Khan and Mowgli’s eventual return to mankind. The performance is appropriate for children of

all ages as they experience the excitement of Mowgli’s life in the jungle.

CSM’s cast includes Mar-cus Stine of La Plata as Mow-gli, Tess Silvestro of Leon-ardtown as Baloo, Amanda Rae Hamilton of La Plata as

Bagheera, Nick Brightwell of Waldorf as Shere Khan, and Alex La Clair of La Plata as the Monkey King. Perfor-mances are Feb. 1 and 2 at 8 p.m. and Feb. 2-3 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5. For informa-tion or reservations, contact

Monday, February 11th will be anything but a cold winter evening in Leonardtown Maryland. The young, enthusiastic minds belonging to the students of LES will be warming up to participate in our Annual Science and Technology Night.

For the past two months our students and classrooms have been preparing projects for this event based on the theme “I Can Make a Difference By…” They will be challenged to use science and technology to come up with innovative ideas that can make a positive difference in their community, classrooms, globally or even in their own homes.

We will be hosting our own game show “Are you Smarter than Our 5th Graders?” This hilarious performance will show-case our best and brightest students as they compete against their teachers, administrators and even a few brave scientists from our community. The game show will be sponsored by several local businesses that are proud to be donating funding for the schools’ technology committee. This year we will be highlighting some of the tools the technology committee hopes to acquire. It is our hope that everyone in attendance can get a little taste of how emerging technologies can be used in the classroom to enhance student learning.

Additionally, the P.T.A. is promoting the theme by spon-soring a demonstration of energy efficient electric cars. These vehicles, provided by Hillside Ride at Breton Bay, will be on hand in the parking lot to escort our visitors from their cars to the front door. Our students will also be able to take joy rides around a safe area in the parking lot.

Leonardtown Elementary School’s Science and Technol-ogy night is open to everyone in our community. Please join us in support of our students on Monday, February 11th from 6-9pm at the Dr. James A. Forrester Technology Center, located at 24005 Point Lookout Rd – Leonardtown, Md.

Little Lemon Meringue Pies Fromfoodnetwork.com

Ingredients

Crust: 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temper-ature (3/4 stick) 3 tablespoons sugar Pinch fine salt 1 large egg yolk 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon sour cream or yogurtLemon Filling: 1/3 cups sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 4 large egg yolks1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons) 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 lime) 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubedMeringue: 1/4 cup egg whites (about 2 large eggs)1/2 cup sugar1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar Pinch fine salt1 (6-cup) standard non-stick muffin tin

Directions

1. Crust: Beat the butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high until smooth. 2. Add the sugar and salt and con-tinue to beat until evenly combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat in the egg yolk. Add half of the flour, beating until just crumbly. Scrape down the bowl again; add the remaining flour and then the sour cream or yogurt, beating just until the dough is evenly moistened. Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead lightly to bring it together.3. Roll the dough between 2 generously floured sheets of waxed or parchment paper into a circle about 1/4-inch thick with a rolling pin. Refrigerate for 1 hour.4. Cut out 6 (4 1/2-inch) rounds using an invert-ed bowl or round cookie cutter. Place rounds in the muffin tins and, using a small shot glass or your fingers, press into the corners and about halfway up the sides for a snug fit (see photo). Freeze dough in the muffin tin for 30 minutes.Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Spray the outside of 6 standard muffin liners with cooking spray and place in the crusts. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake crusts until just brown

around the edges, about 25 to 30 minutes. Re-move from the oven and cool for about 1 min-ute; then carefully remove the muffin liners and baking beans. 5. Return pan to the oven and continue to bake until crusts are cooked through and evenly browned (see photo), about 15 to 20 minutes more. Cool slightly. Then carefully remove crusts from the muffin tin and cool completely on a rack.6. Lemon Filling: Combine the sugar, corn-starch, and yolks in a nonreactive saucepan. Whisk constantly over medium-low heat un-til the mixture is smooth and sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Add the lemon and lime juice and zest and continue to cook, whisking con-stantly, until the mixture is as thick as sour cream and is just about to simmer, 3 to 4 min-utes. (Take care to stir into the sides of the pot so that all curd thickens evenly.)Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Whisk in the butter a little at a time, until smooth. Stir occasionally until cooled. (Setting the bowl in a larger bowl of ice will speed this up.). Fill each tartlet with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cool lemon filling.7. Meringue: Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold a standing mixer’s bowl above the water. Whisk togeth-er the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and salt in the bowl by hand. Set the bowl above the boiling water and continue whisking until the mixture is hot to the touch (135 degrees F) and the sugar dissolves, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the bowl to the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat the whites at me-dium-high speed until they hold soft peaks. Increase speed to high and continue to beat to make a stiff, cool meringue, about 10 minutes. Dollop or pipe on top of the filling.8. Just before serving, preheat the broiler to high. Set the pies on a baking sheet, and place under the broiler until the meringue is evenly toasted, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, brown meringue with a blowtorch.) Serve immediate-ly or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Man arrested for DUI

January 28, 2008 just af-

ter 2 a.m., Deputy Michael Boyer conducted a traffic stop in the area of Chancellor’s Run Road and Sayre Drive after observing the driver and an unknown male walk-ing on the roadside, arguing. The vehicle was stopped and the driver identified as, Rob-ert Steven Kellis, 44, of Great Mills. Kellis was suspected of driving under the influence and submitted standard field sobriety tests. He was placed under arrest and charged with driving under the influence. He was transported to the de-tention center pending a bond hearing before the District Court Commissioner.

Each February, commu-nities across the country join together to sponsor “Prevent-a-Litter Month.” The purpose is to promote spay/neuter as a primary means of addressing the severe companion animal overpopulation problem: Did you know that:

• Two unaltered dogs and all their descendants can number 67,000 in just six years?

• Two unaltered cats and all their descendants can number 420,000 in seven years?

• While dogs go into heat approximately every six months, cats can go into heat every three weeks?

• For every human born in America, 15 dogs and 45 cats are born?

• Eight of every ten cats, and six of every ten dogs that enter a shelter do not find a new home?

• According to The Humane Society of the Unit-ed States, an estimated 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized in shelters each year? That’s one every eight seconds.

The spaying and neuter-ing of dogs and cats also pro-vides other health benefits. Often it resolves such unde-sirable behaviors as spray-ing, roaming and aggression. Preventing surplus litters also saves taxpayers millions of dollars, since according to SpayDay USA it costs gov-ernment agencies as much as

$176 to capture, house, feed, and possibly euthanize each homeless animal.

For all of these reasons, the Tri-County Animal Shel-ter encourages you to have your pet spayed or neutered. Check with your local veteri-narian, as they may offer dis-counts during “Prevent-a-Lit-ter Month.” The following or-

ganizations offer spay/neuter services at reasonable rates: Humane Society of Charles County (Waldorf); Waldorf Well Pet Clinic (Waldorf); The Lucky Ones (Charlotte Hall); and Well Pet Clinic (Lexington Park). Make an appointment today.

Soup for the Seafood Lover’s Soul

In the weeks leading up to Easter, many people make sacrifices to show their devotion to their religion. Certain Christian religions, for example, require you abstain from eating meat on Fridays throughout the Lenten season.

But sacrificing meat doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice taste, as the following recipe for “Ci-oppino” from Leslie Jonath and Frankie Frankeny’s “Soup’s On!” (Chronicle Books) can attest.

A soup such as “Cioppino” can be the perfect choice for those looking to abstain from eating meat while not sacrificing taste.
