The Naval Academys entry just crossed the start line. The race started at 6 p.m. on Friday in Annapolis with waves that built to 5 feet and a 15-20 knot wind from the south. Boats cross the start line based on their class. The start line is the imaginary line between the red buoy in the foreground and the replica ship Sultana in the background.
Amy Kaper Staff Writer Last Saturday, the 34th running of the Governors Cup yacht race ensued, with the U.S. Naval Academys team coming in first place. The race was sponsored by St. Marys College of Maryland, with the course running from Annapolis to St. Marys City. The race was divided into groups, depending on the features of the boat. There was and overall winner and individual group winners. The race started at 6 p.m. in Annapolis. The waves started at five feet and the wind at 15-20 knots from the south. The highest recorded during the evening were gusts of 23 knots. The weather was challenging for all of us, said Jim Muldoon, skipper of the Donnybrook and Chairman of the
SMCM Board of Trustees. The winning U.S. Naval Academys team, captained by Jahn Thinasky, crossed the finish line at 3:34 a.m., placing first out of every category for the first time in Governors Cup History. The Navys boat Zaffara beat the course record holder Donnybrook by one hour and 15 minutes. However, Donnybrook, captained by Muldoon, holds the course record set in 1993, six hours and nine minutes. A Montgomery County resident was also aboard the Donnybrook. Megan Cooper, a 23 year old Special Olympics gold medalist in sailing, will be representing the United States in the Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai, China this October.This was Coopers first offshore race.

Ribbon Cutting At Smokey Joes BBQ
Governors Cup
Continued from page B-B1 A few St. Marys County residents that participated in the event also received some winning glory. An all-high school crew from Leonardtown and Patuxent High Schools won first place in the C/D class. Their winning boat was a centerboard model 1978 Bristol 355 captained by their coach Stovy Brown of St. Leonard Maryland. Besides just coming in first place, several other prizes were awarded. David Andril of Arlington, Virginia, and his crew of the Valkyrie (PHRF A1) won the Waldschmitt Award for the best in the fleet. This award is presented to the winner of the class that has the smallest corrected time interval between the first and fifth place finishers. This is the most competitive of the trophies. Michael Brennan from Potomac, Maryland and captain of Sjambok (PHRF A0) won the Alumni Trophy. To be eligible for the Alumni Trophy, two or more members of the boats crew must be St. Marys College of Maryland alumni. The award is presented to the yacht with the highest percentage score, This score is determined by dividing the number of boats defeated in a class by the number of boats registered in the same class. David Way from Shady Side, Maryland, captain of the Trinity (Multihull), received the Bickell Award. The award is given to the skipper and crew whose finishing position shows the most improvement since the last years performance. The skipper must have commanded the same boat both years. The Bickell Award is a fitting memorial for a man who enjoyed no greater challenge than making a boat and its crew into a winning combination, said Torre Meringolo, vice president for the SMCM Office of Development. The Patuxent Partnership (TPP) trophy was awarded to the captain and crew of Zaraffa (A0) from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. To win this specific trophy, a boats crew must include two employees from a TPP-member company, active-duty military, or DoD civilian personnel, and have the highest-class finish by a TPP boat. The race is held the first Saturday of every August. Visit the St. Marys College website for more details and registration.

The Tri-County Animal Shelter has professional speakers available to discuss animalrelated topics with members of our community. Presentations are available for civic organizations, summer camps, and day care centers. Teachers may wish to consider scheduling a presentation when school resumes, especially if character education is part of their curriculum. Humane education and responsible pet care can effectively enhance the teaching of core values. Teaching children respect, responsibility and compassion for animals can form the basis of a lifelong commitment to responsible pet care. And because children love to share what theyve learned, lessons in humane education may change other peoples behavior towards animals as well. Presentations are age-appropriate, and can be geared toward any subject. Topics may include humane education, responsible pet ownership, volunteering, rabies, and working at an
animal shelter. Live animals are not brought to the location, but a stuffed dog is brought to presentations involving children. Informational handouts are available for each event. If your organization or school is interested in scheduling a presentation, please contact the Tri-County Animal Shelter at 1-800-903-1992. Let us know what topic youre interested in, a date and time, the number of participants, and how long the presentation should last.

Basketball: Basketball is the leading cause of eye injury for players ages 15 to 24. Research shows that 1 in 10 college basketball players will suffer an eye injury each season. According to the National Society to Prevent Blindness, almost 7,000 injuries were found to be related to playing basketball. Finger poking is one of the more common basketball injuries nationwide. Sports protective eyewear, however, can help hardwood heroes avoid the perils of eye injury.
Summer
Tennis and other racquet sports: In a Canadian study, racquet sports accounted for 24.5 percent of all reported eye injuries and 8.8 percent of all eyes blinded by sports. In a U.S. study, racquet sports were responsible for 40.3 percent of sports eye injuries seen in a private practice, and 23 percent of all admissions for hyphema (bleeding inside of the eye) to the Massachusetts Ear and Eye Infirmary. The high speed at which balls are served or struck during these sports can make eye trauma common, even though many people do not associate these sports with injury.
Fishing Report
By Emily Finch Contributing Writer Fishing in Southern Maryland is still going strong. Around the naval base and Three-Legged Bowie croakers are being caught usually between 10-15 inches. The minimum size for croakers is nine inches and fisherman can take home up to 25 per person per day. Bluefish, which must be at least eight inches long according to regulations, are weighing in at an average of five to six pounds from Cedar Point, Ships Channel and the Point Lookout pier. Most fisherman say it is not difficult to take home the limit of 10 blues a day. The Chesapeake Bay is reported to be full of rockfish this season and liveliners are pulling in large quantities daily. Trollers using smaller, lighter rigs are catching rocks but surfcasters are getting a good amount of bites off of Cedar Point Hollow and Goose Creek. Rockfish up to 30 inches have been found at the mouth of Coan River and around St. Georges Island. Rocks are becoming a great catch this season but remember to read the regulations on sizes and how many of which size can be taken home. Flounder as large as 20 inches have been caught by minnow drifters at Corn Harbor, Cedar Point and Ships Channel. Meeting the regulation of 15 inches for flounder is not difficult this year but only two a day can be taken home by any one fisher. Spot are abundant near the Gas Docks and the entire Patuxent River, as well as Half Pone Point, Little Cove Point and Cove Point. Although mostly smaller in size, regulation bass can always be caught at St. Marys Lake. Visit http://www.dnr. state.md.us/fisheries/regulations/recregchrt.html for a full list of Maryland fishing regulations.
FISHING TIP:
For freshwater fishing, rigging a line with wide-gap hooks can prove more effective in hook setting. Using a three to four inch piece of bait, such as a minnow, worm or lizard (Zoom bait actually works best for this), insert the hook into the center of the mouth. Feed the bait onto the hook, past the knot and just onto your line. Using the wide-gap hook allows for a deeper hook set and a sure catch! This type of rigging can also be made weedless by inserting just a little piece of the bait onto the tip of the hook after rigging. You may have to wait a second longer for the fish to really bite, but rigging this weedless with wide-gap hooks allows for fishing in ponds and other places where obstructions in the water are common.
Spring
Baseball/Softball: Baseball is the leading cause of eye injury in players 14 and under. This ranks baseball among the highest sports for eye injury risks. Players are contending with a high-speed projectile (the ball), swinging bats and potential sun glare. Thats a recipe for eye injuries. Regular shades or other street eyewear wont provide proper protection. Due to the potential velocity of a baseball or softball, nothing can guarantee complete injury protection, but sports protective eyewear can greatly lessen the risk of serious injury. The lenses are made from polycarbonate, which are impact-resistant and have inherent UV protection. Lacrosse: Mens and womens lacrosse differ in regard to how much physical contact is allowed, with the mens teams being more con-
Autumn
Soccer: Soccer is tremendously popular among todays boys and girls, and chances are most households boast at least one soccer player. Because soccer players are always moving, be sure to have all eyewear fitted individually. Protective eyewear has straps that will feature some sizing flexibility, so resist the urge to buy a larger size that kids can grow into. Re-evaluate siz-

Continued from page B-B4 runs, with a homerun by Chris Grinder. In the third inning, Two Point had a solo homerun. Chaney scored five runs. In the fourth inning, Two Point came back for a bit. They scored one run, while Chaney scored none. However, in the fifth inning, they started to come back down. Two Point scored three runs, while Chaney managed five. The sixth inning was close, but once again Two Point failed to come back. They had no runs, and Chaney had one. At the bottom of the seventh inning, Two Point was down by four. With four runs, they became tied against Chaneys solo homerun just as the seventh inning ended. After spilling over into the eighth inning, Chaney then proceeded to obtain a run, completing the game. Two Point lost by one after a technicality. The first base runner ran before the ball was caught, causing him to get an out. Chaney Enterprises now has a record of 12-11, Two Point has a record of 8-20. When asked about their not so impressive record, Two Points coach Chris Pulliam said we started out good at the beginning of the season, we just got killed! Pulliam feels that the problem lies in the teams offensive output. People arent hitting the ball. However, last night we hit the ball the best we have out of the last ten games. Both teams will play their last game as they compete in the playoffs next week. All teams in the league will be present, but divided into game brackets according to their records.
In the Knowl
Its Just Fantasy
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Have you seen the movie Knocked Up? If you havent seen it yet but plan on renting it when it comes out on DVD, maybe you should skip this first paragraph and go on to the next one. If you have seen it, Im sure you laughed out loud at the scene where Leslie Manns character Debbie is suspicious that her husband, Pete, played by Paul Rudd is cheating on her. Debbie traces Pauls steps and drives to the house where she thinks shes going to find her husband sleeping with another woman. After sneaking around the house for a while and coming up empty handed, she hears a noise coming from a room. She follows the noise and then pushes open the door to find Paul and a bunch of his nerdy friends doing a fantasy baseball draft!!! What are you doing? she says Were playing fantasy baseball, he says, decked out in an Orioles jersey and hat. I got Matsui! This scene might sound a little ridiculous, but not when you consider the fact that an
estimated 16 million adults in the U.S. to have played fantasy sports in 2006. In the world of fantasy sports, theres something for every different kind of sports enthusiasts. You can play fantasy football, baseball, basketball, golf, soccer, tennis, horse racing, auto racing, pro-wrestling. Whats next, fantasy cricket? Well, actually, there already is fantasy cricket. Ive done fantasy football and fantasy basketball, but I dont see myself signing up to do fantasy cricket anytime in the near future. To me, football is perfect for fantasy sports. The season is short. Theres a week break between each game, giving you plenty of time to reset your roster in case some of your players have a bye or are injured. Fantasy basketball was way too long and with games every other day, I never had time to update my roster. I cant imagine what baseball would be like with over 100 games in a season.
But the best thing about fantasy sports is that you find yourself going buck wild over some game that means nothing to you just because one of your players is on one of the teams. Thats about as far as my interest in fantasy sports goes. I spend about five minutes a week changing around my roster and checking up on the weeks scores and standings. I have friends who spend every free minute of their day trying to trade players, pick up players and doing whatever else they can to get the edge in their next game. For people who are obsessed with fantasy sports, there are games that allow you to be the commissioner of a league. You can customize everything personally (rules, roster limits, scoring system, league website, etc.) and get access to stats and trade information on your cell phone (that is, if it really cant wait til you get back to your computer or if youre on vacation
and you really need your fix.) You probably think fantasy sports are just for geeks, and youd probably be right. But its not just for sports fans. If you go online, you can also play... (drum roll please) FANTASY CONGRESS!!! If you ever felt like a dork for playing fantasy baseball, fear no longer, there is someone out there playing FANTASY CONGRESS!!! This is no lie, players of Fantasy Congress (called citizens) draft members of the U.S. House and Senate and keep track of their moves within the U.S. Congress. When I learned about this, I immediately felt better about myself. Ladies, this news should make you feel better as well. While you might think your significant other is cheating on you, theres no need to worry, hes probably at his friends house doing a fantasy congress draft!
