Rain-Delayed Softball Tournament To Be Held SundayTournament Honors Late Softball Coach

By Chris StevensStaff Writer

If the rain can stay away for once this coming Sunday, count on the 4th annual Bud-dy Joy Softball Tournament taking place at Tippets Park in Hollywood. The day-long tournament honors the mem-ory of Buddy Joy, a beloved and admired coach of softball for many years in St. Mary’s County. Joy died of a heart attack several years earlier and the tournament that car-ries his name will donate all of the day’s proceeds to the American Heart Association.

“He coached girls and men’s softball for many, many years and he was well-liked,” Tournament Organizer Ted-dy Stalling fondly recalled Tuesday afternoon. “He was Number One.”

Two of Joy’s daughters will be competing for the team sponsored by Hole In The Wall, which is also back-ing the entire tournament as a whole. Stalling says that in addition to each team being allowed to play at least two games during the course of the day, there will be refresh-ments (hot dogs, hamburgers, Coke and water just to name a few) for all who attend, along with a 50/50 raffle will be

Tony Stewart’s always been a ornery cuss, a throwback to NASCAR’s past when disputes were settled by trading paint on the track and exchanging punches in the garage. He’s a lot more Cale Yarbor-ough or David Pearson than he is the polished cor-porate pitchman NASCAR desires today. But the cantankerous driver of the #20 Home Depot car has been in a particularly bad mood this season. It started even before the season officially began with an ugly on-track incident and an exchange of blows with fel-low driver Kurt Busch after the Bud Shootout, an ap-petizer to the Daytona 500. After a race in March, Stewart exploded on tire manufacturer Goodyear for making an inferior product. Such eruptions by Tony the Volcano are not out of the ordinary (in his defense the reporter stuck a microphone in his face as soon as he climbed out of the car…Joe Gibbs must have been cringing, knowing what was coming). He’s good for a couple of these each year. NASCAR fan knows the drill: Tony blows up, NASCAR issues an obligatory slap on the wrist, Joe Gibbs does some damage control and everyone moves on. But in years past moving on meant winning on the track. This year, he’s not. His 2008 resume contains no wins, another failed attempt to win the Daytona 500, a blown tire in the closing moments of the Coca-Cola 600, a race that was his to lose (for conspiracy theorists, you have to wonder if NASCAR intervened, not wanting Stewart’s Home Depot car winning at Lowe’s Motor Speedway…hey, I’m just saying) and countless race-ruining accidents (including a late race spinout this past weekend).

So what’s boiling the stew? He’s a man with it all: fame, fortune, two championships and a ride with one of the best teams in NASCAR, Joe Gibbs Rac-ing (JGR). Sounds like racing bliss, right? Not so much. There are a couple elements in play that may lead to another high-profile NASCAR divorce (on the heels of Dale Jr. leaving Dale Earnhardt Racing last year). Joe Gibbs always had Stewart’s back. It was the elder Gibbs who so deftly did damage control for Stewart’s rants against NASCAR, fellow drivers or manufacturers. Maybe that will continue, but JGR’s President, J.D. Gibbs is increasingly influential and I don’t get the impression that J.D. is willing to be Stewart’s public relations manager, his personal re-strictor plate if you will. Both parties have hinted at a split in their own ways. While Stewart, in his typical no-nonsense, direct manner has openly speculated about his future at JGR, the organization has quietly been preparing for the departure of its most deco-

rated driver. In the last few years, JGR developed young star Denny Hamlin, snatched up uber-talented free agent Kyle Busch, and has one of the brightest prospects in the sport, 18-year-old Joey Logano, wait-ing in the wings. There’s only so much testosterone that will fit into any garage, so you have to wonder if Stewart will be the odd man out. Stewart is no fool, I’m certain he can read the tea leaves. In a passive-aggressive way, JGR has said, “if you want to leave, we’ll be okay.”

There’s a part of Tony Stewart that would be just as happy racing at Potomac Speedway as he is trading paint with stock car racing’s best. But his combination of talent and ambition dictated his rise to racing’s pinnacle. And at that peak he found a lot of things he wanted (great competition, success) and some things he didn’t (off-track responsibilities). Now, after a lifetime of striving for more, there’s a sense Stewart wants to let off ambition’s accelerator a bit, if for nothing else than to change course and try something new. Stewart seems to be tiring of the spotlight, tiring of the expectations to be politically correct and tiring of being JGR’s flagship driver and sponsor Home Depot’s corporate pitchman. He just wants to drive the car. He’s even hinted that a smaller team with a possible ownership stake would be at-tractive to him. Read between the lines: fresh start, less overhead. Stewart is going through a psycho-logical tug of war that likely seems familiar to the successful. Once a person has achieved a profes-sional goal, is the result happiness and contentment? And if not, when is enough, enough? For the ultra ambitious, there’s always a next best thing. Stewart has achieved, and has at his disposal, everything a racecar driver would want with JGR. Yet he’s rest-less, wrestling with that question ambition constantly asks us: Now what? Ambition helped him get to this point and it might be what gives him the courage to walk away from it all and chart a new course. What-ever Stewart decides for himself, he’s a reminder that we should always hear our inner restless spirit and be willing to let ambition set our pace.

Extra Innings: The sports world recently lost broadcast and journalistic icon Jim McKay. He be-gan his career with the Baltimore Sun and WMAR-TV (that’s channel 2 on your So. MD TV dial) in the late 1940’s. He was a graduate of Loyola College in Baltimore and served in the Navy during World War II. Jim Mckay was probably best known as the unmistakable voice of ABC’s Wide World of Sports. Who can forget his chilling delivery of the phrase, “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat”? McK-ay was also synonymous with the Olympics, cover-ing 12 Games throughout his career. During the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, he delivered a career de-fining performance with his classy, respectful and heartfelt coverage of the slaying of the Israeli Olym-pic team. McKay also did a tremendous amount of work to benefit and promote Maryland’s horse racing industry. Unlike so many of today’s grandstanding sportscasters who use sporting events or highlights to promote themselves through over-rehearsed deliver-ies and witty catch phrases, McKay directed his ener-gies toward eloquently framing the sporting event.

There was sheer brilliance in his stealthy narra-tives. McKay could sneak undetected into your living room and with his trusting voice bring life to sporting events from around the globe. When his work came off as being nothing about Jim McKay, it was really all about Jim McKay. On June 7th, McKay died at his family farm in Monkton, MD. He was 86 years old. Mr. McKay, may you now know only the thrill of victory.

torrential downpour halted play of the second game in the bottom of the first inning. The

first game featured a lot of offense and one se-rious softball rally while the second game fea-tured the quickness of everyone in attendance to avoid the nasty storm that rumbled through St. Mary’s County shortly after 8 p.m.

Raley’s Furniture 23, Back Road Inn 18

After scoring 15 runs in the first four in-nings (including six runs on six hits in the top of the first), the Back Road Inn team looked as though they were well on their way to vic-tory in the first game of the evening. That of course was before Raley’s roared back to score 11 runs in the bottom half of the fourth inning – all with two outs in the frame. After two Raley’s hitters were retired with ease, batter after batter came to the plate in a rally that fea-tured four consecutive run scoring hits among the highlights. When all was said and done, Raley’s Furniture took a 19-15 lead and would tack on four insurance runs over the next two frames to seal the victory. Back Road Inn managed three more runs after that, includ-ing an inside-the-park home run with two outs in the top half of the seventh, but could get no closer.

Coors 4, S.W.A.T. 0 (postponed after ½ inning - rain)

The Coors team also came out swinging, scoring four runs in their first turn at bat. Just as S.W.A.T. prepared for their half of the in-ning, the skies opened up and along with light-ning briefly knocking out power from one of the light towers, sent everyone scurrying for their cars.

From The Sports DeskWhat Happens In Vegas Makes Bad Headlines for Pro Athletes

By Chris StevensStaff Writer

Another week brings us another football player who can’t seem to keep his busi-ness in Sin City.

Last Monday night, Oak-land Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker was discovered taking a power nap on the Las Vegas strip after being as-saulted and robbed for copi-ous amounts of jewelry that he was apparently showing off at a party just a few minutes prior. The former Green Bay Packer and Denver Bronco was treated and released and was expected to appear when Raiders camp started at the beginning of this week.

Of course, Walker is by no means the only National Football League star that doesn’t understand the mean-ing of “lay low.”

The newest acquisition of the Dallas Cowboys, defensive back Adam Jones (he doesn’t want to be called “Pac Man” anymore) made headlines at last year’s NBA All-Star cele-bration in Vegas while throw-ing dollars in the general vi-cinity of exotic dancers (also known as “making it rain” for the hip-impaired). When the ladies took the money (and why wouldn’t they?), things got a little crazy and one of the club’s bouncers that fate-ful night is now confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his days.

In comparison, Jones got off light with no jail time and a one-year suspension from the NFL; this tour of duty with the Cowboys being the clichéd one last chance to get his life on track.

While athletes in other professional sports are no

saints by any stretch of the imagination, most of them have the common sense to re-alize that Vegas isn’t exactly the place for a person with a multi-million dollar contract to act a fool and show off their wealth. I predict that eventu-ally, professional sports teams will wise up and include “Ve-gas clauses” in players’ con-tracts; otherwise, there will be trouble ahead.

Along with the white el-ephant in the room known as gambling, you can count this as a major reason why Vegas remains one of the United States’ largest markets with-out a team in any of the major four pro sports leagues (the NBA, NFL, MLB and the NHL).

As unfortunate as it may sound, professional sports owners, front office execu-tives and coaches are very,

very territorial over what their employees do in their spare time. So much so, that the Pittsburgh Steelers, for exam-ple, once cut a linebacker who was discovered to be a pimp.

No, seriously, Richard Siegler was arrested on nu-merous felony charges stem-ming from being a proprietor of the world’s oldest profession in the spring of 2007. And just where was Mr. Siegler’s head-quarters located? You guessed it – Las Vegas.

One could guess that pay-ing certain players the same amount of money as the Gross National Product of some countries could make an own-er or GM a little bit curious as to what their guys are doing away from the field, rink or the court. That concern, that perennial feeling of worry, makes for special clauses and caveats in the contracts these players sign, especially when it comes to recreation.

After Chicago Bulls guard Jay Williams ruined his leg (and his NBA career) in a motorcycle accident a few years ago, you found an ongo-ing rush of teams from each sport writing anti-motorcycle legislation into deals with ath-letes. Of course, that didn’t stop Ben Roethlisburger from his worst Evel Knivel imper-sonation just months after the Steelers won the Super Bowl.

Still, it’s proven to be a worthy deterrent for ath-letes and their bosses, as no one wants to lose millions of dollars based off of a joyride gone wrong.

The same could be said for a weekend excursion to Las Vegas. With so much to get into and so much more to

get yourself out of, Las Vegas, despite its outward appeal of being a big playground for adults looking to escape the boredom of their 9-to-5 life-style, really isn’t a safe place to be if you’re a professional athlete who likes to showcase their good material fortune.

People are always watch-ing, that’s about as obvious as the sun rising in the morning and falling at night. Poor Sean Taylor was at home with his fiancée and young daughter when five hoodlums ran into his home and shot him in some obscure thigh artery that cut his promising life short.

The danger element in Las Vegas is underrated and pro athletes should be aware that while anyone anywhere could want to take what you have, the chances of that crime happening to them in-crease greatly in Las Vegas, especially with the assumed lawlessness the city is known for.

Again, Las Vegas is not the only city that crime occurs in, but it’s the one you hear about the most amongst celeb-rities and public figures. With that bit of drama in mind, Ve-gas will be the city that gets the unfair rap of being a bad town and a place to stay out of if you’re famous on any level.

That said, “Vegas claus-es” would cover the rear ends of owners and general manag-ers who sign players to huge multi-year, multi-million dol-lar contracts. It would effec-tively take them off the hook for paying the player if he or she were to get in trouble under any circumstances in a place known for crimes against and by athletes or oth-

er people of note.It would also serve as an

honor system for the athlete, because they would know their livelihoods – the thing they love to do the most which is also responsible for feed-ing their families – would be taken away if they were to get into any sort of trouble out there.

For athletes who are truly honest with themselves and know that drama could very well pop off if they’re in the same place with certain kinds of people, a trip to Las Vegas, a certain club or bar, would raise a red flag in their minds.

Whether they think twice about going or not is truly up to them, making a Vegas clause all about personal responsibil-ity, which shouldn’t be tough to ask of anyone in any walk of life but usually is.

In today’s world, with a struggling economy, people losing homes and jobs dry-ing up faster than the prover-bial raisin in the sun, some folks feel a sense of hopeless-ness and despair that ties into committing robbery against anyone who seems to be in a better position than them. Yet and still, keeping athletes out of trouble with contract clauses and stipulations not only has the potential to save them from the dangers of be-ing young and rich, but saves them from themselves and that thinly-veiled aura of invinci-bility they feel they have.

St. Mary’s County Government is continuing to urge citizens to be aware and be prepared for weather emergencies, particularly for torna-do events.

If there is a tornado warning for any area in St. Mary’s County, the county’s Emergency Communica-tions staff will activate the Fire & Rescue Sirens with a “Take Cover” signal for Tornado Warnings. This signal lasts for 13 cycles and is sig-nificantly different from a fire or res-cue call signal. This system is tested on the first Saturday of every month at noon.Things you can do to prepare include:

· Familiarize yourself with the terms that are used to identify a tor-nado hazard.

· A tornado watch means a tor-nado is possible in your area. You should monitor NOAA Weather Ra-dio local radio and television news outlets for the latest developments.

· A tornado warning is when a tornado is actually occurring; take shelter immediately.

· Determine in advance where you will take shelter in case of a tor-nado warning.

· Storm cellars or basements provide the best protection.

· If underground shelter is not available, go into an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor possible.

· In a high-rise building, go to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor possible.

· Stay away from windows, doors and outside walls. Go to the center of the room. Stay away from corners because they attract debris.

· A vehicle, trailer or mobile home does not provide good protec-

Amy Ford and Jill Hutchison from St. Mary’s County Li-brary have been selected by the Maryland Library Association to attend the eighth Maryland Library Leadership Institute, July 14-18, 2008 in Port Deposit, Maryland.

“To have two librarians selected from the same system speaks volumes for these two professionals and for our library system,” states Library Director Kathleen Reif who nominated both librarians based on their demonstrated interest in leader-ship and commitment to library services. Ford is an adult ser-vices librarian at Lexington Park Library. Jill Hutchison is the children’s services librarian at Leonardtown Library.

Mary Anne Bowman, Branch Manager of Charlotte Hall library attended the Institute in 2005. The Institute helped her to recognize she “was not just a manager, but also a leader in the library.” As a result of this training, she “takes personal responsibility to assess the environment, look to the future, embrace change, empower others and take risks to make our library even better than it already is.”

Librarians from St. Mary’s County selected to attend State Leadership Institute

Foreclosure rates are on the increase across the U.S., the state and St. Mary’s County. A discussion and suggestions for prevention and assistance are contained in a program airing on St. Mary’s County Cable Channel 95 beginning next week. The schedule is on the county’s website at www.stmarysmd.com.

The 30-minute show fea-tures a dialogue with housing counselors and urges Mary-landers to seek assistance before committing to a mort-gage, or as soon as mortgage payments begin to become difficult.

Certified mortgage coun-selors are available 24/7 by

calling the HOPE Line at 1-888-995-HOPE. HOPE is an acronym for Home Owners Preserving Equity. Assistance is also contained on the HOPE website at www.mdhope.org or at the Maryland Depart-ment of Housing website at www.dhcd.state.md.us. A brochure titled, “Mortgage Late? Don’t Wait!” includes foreclosure prevention tips and steps to take before meet-ing with a housing advisor or lender and is downloadable at the HOPE website.

Other housing-related information is available at the St. Mary’s County Housing Authority website at www.st-marysmd.com/.

Search leads to marijuana arrest

On June 20, 2008 at ap-proximately 8 a.m. Deputy First Class Angela Muller was patrolling Back Door Road in Dameron, Maryland when she observed three indi-viduals sleeping in a vehicle. Muller contacted the subjects and was able to detect an odor of burnt marijuana emitting from the vehicle and back up deputies were requested. Muller obtained a consent search of the vehicle from the driver. The consent search

revealed a metal smoking device containing suspected burnt marijuana. Additional suspected marijuana was lo-cated in one suspect’s purse. Loshika Charlene Renee Brook, 30, of Sterling, Va. and Anne Marie Soldo, 22, of Centerville, Va. were arrested and charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance - marijuana.

Charged with indecent exposure

On June 20, 2008 at ap-proximately 6 p.m. Deputy

Michael Boyer responded to Rita’s Frozen Custard in Lex-ington Park for a report of indecent exposure. Investi-gation revealed Sheila Chris-tine Vernon, 38, of Lexington Park, Maryland allegedly ex-posed her breast to a 14-year-old male. Vernon was arrest-ed and charged with indecent exposure.

Deputy arrests woman for disorderly conduct

On June 22, 2008 at ap-

proximately 1:30 a.m. Depu-ty First Class Angela Muller was standing inside of Sheetz in Great Mills when Shirley Catherine Butler, 60, of Val-ley Lee entered the business. Butler appeared to be ex-tremely intoxicated. Muller asked Butler how she arrived at Sheetz and Butler became very agitated and defensive. Concerned for Butler’s safe-ty, Muller asked her for the telephone number to call a friend to pick Butler up and get her home safely. Butler began cry and speak loudly drawing attention to her from other customers. Butler

was asked to calm down and Muller walked Butler outside and again explained to her why she needed a safe ride home. Butler again became upset and threw her keys and money into the roadway and also began using profane lan-guage. Butler’s profane lan-guage and actions again at-tracted attention of others and she was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

Traffic stop leads to arrest for assault

On June 21, 2008 at ap-

proximately 2 a.m. Deputy Travis Bowes stopped a ve-hicle for a traffic violation. The driver, Scott Patrick Ad-ams was arrested for driving while intoxicated. As Bowes attempted to place Adams into the patrol vehicle, Ad-ams allegedly spit on Deputy Michael George. Adams was charged with assault.

Because our pets depend on us to keep them safe, the Tri-County Animal Shelter would like to provide some tips from the ASP-CA to ensure your household is poison-proof for your pet.

Keep prescription and over-the-counter drugs behind tightly closed cabinet or closet doors. Examples of human medications that can be lethal to pets, even in small doses, in-clude painkillers, cold and flu medicines, anti-cancer drugs, antidepressants, vitamins and diet pills.

Keep dangerous foods out of your pet’s reach. These include chocolate, coffee, maca-damia nuts, onions and onion powder, raisins and grapes, moldy or spoiled foods, yeast dough, and products sweetened with xylitol.

For products used to eliminate fleas, ticks and other pests, follow directions exactly. Make sure the item you’re using is specifically formulated for your pet, and check with your veterinarian before using it. Make sure the product is age and species appropriate-don’t use adult products on young animals, or dog products on cats.

Many common household plants, such as lilies, azaleas and kalanchoe, can cause severe effects in pets. Learn which plants are toxic to pets.

Use cleaning products that have been proven safe around pets. Keep pets away from cleaned areas until any cleaning product has

dried thor-oughly, and keep all products in a secure place.

Other common household hazards include fabric softener sheets, mothballs, and pennies made after 1982 (they contain a high concen-tration of zinc).

Other products to keep away from pets include citronella candles; cocoa mulch; fertil-izers; swimming pool chemicals; animal bait for flies, slugs, snails, rat and mice; batteries; and antifreeze.

For an extended list of items that may prove dangerous to your pet, visit the ASPCA’s website at www.aspca.org. Included in the poison prevention section is contact informa-tion for their animal poison control center.

For more information about the Tri-County Animal Shelter, contact us at 1-800-903-1992 or visit our web page at www.charlescounty.org/es/animalcontrol.

For many of the world’s amateur chefs and culinary enthusiasts, the joy of cooking rests in trying new things to please the palate. Oftentimes, this means trying the various cuisines of other countries.

Among the more popular cuisines today is Indian cuisine. But as Monisha Bharadwaj il-lustrates in “India’s Vegetarian Cooking: A Regional Guide” (Kyle Books), Indian cuisine varies depending on which region of the country you happen to be in. The following recipe for “Crisp Toast in Nutty Saffron Milk,” for example, is a classic dessert dish with roots in Northern India. A centuries old favorite originally created for the Mogul rulers, the dish is still served today at feasts and banquets throughout the region.
