Leonardtown Native Happy to be PitchingMorse Continues Pro Career with Blue CrabsBy Chris StevensStaff Writer

When Bryan Morse began his professional baseball career back in 1999, he certainly did not foresee that he would eventually be pitching for a team in his home area.

“The only team around here back then was the Bowie Baysox,” recalls Morse, a 1995 Leonardtown High graduate and starting pitcher for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. “I’m really excited to be here.”

Morse, who is residing in Leon-ardtown during this season, picked up his first home win Friday evening since signing with the Blue Crabs a few weeks ago. He went 5 1/3 in-nings, striking out six batters and al-lowing just four hits and one earned run as Southern Maryland defeated the Lancaster (Pa.) Barnstormers 7-4 at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf.

Morse was pitching on an extra day’s rest due to a rainout in what

was to be his first home start against the Bridgeport Bluefish two weeks ago. He used that extra day to his advantage Friday.

“[The rainout] might’ve been a blessing in disguise, he said of his delayed home debut. “I felt really good mentally and physically, want-ed to keep my defense on their toes, get them in the dugout so they could score some runs.”

“He hit his spots and had good command of his pitches,” Blue Crabs pitching coach Andre Rabouin said. “That’s how he has to pitch to be effective.”

Coming off of shoulder surgery this past January, Morse was re-leased by Brockton of the CanAm league and spent a good part of the season rehabbing the injury before joining the Blue Crabs in July. Rab-ouin feels Morse has been a hard working and quick study ever since.

“Bryan’s a veteran, he’s been around the mill a little bit,” Rabouin

GREAT MILLS – Fresh off of a state tournament championship triumph in Ocean City, MD this past weekend, Just Us continued to slug their opponents into submission, coasting to a 19-4 five-inning victory over Chesapeake Custom Embroidery in St. Mary’s County Women’s Softball League action at Chancellor’s Run Park Monday night. “The girls kinda start off slow the first time up,” said co-manager Lamont Saxon, “but the second time around, they come together and start to hit.” It actually took until the bottom of the fourth inning for Just Us (who improved their league record to 15-3) to get the bats going, but trailing by a 4-1 margin, they be-gan spraying the ball all over the field, taking the lead

for good on a Karen Camp RBI single at 5-4. Just Us would score 13 more unanswered runs to cruise in with the win, with a solo homer by third baseman Robin Pettit with one out in the bottom of the fifth as the capper.

“We won that tournament in Ocean City and we just brought it back with us,” said center fielder Angelita King, who tripled twice and drove in two runs for Just Us.

“We knew they were going to get their bats going,” said Chesapeake’s Pizzel Keen. “We just didn’t hit with them. They brought their ‘A’ game tonight.” Chesa-peake, who dropped to 13-6 in 2008, started off well, taking the lead with a three-run second inning and capi-talizing on two Just Us errors in the field.

GREAT MILLS – After two weeks off due to tournaments in other parts of the state, the highly competitive St. Mary’s County Young Men’s Softball first round series between All-American Harley Davidson and Dew Drop Inn reached its conclusion at Chancellor’s Run Park.

And what a conclusion it was.After surrendering a seven-run lead and trailing by two going into

their last at bat, Tom Matisick’s RBI double gave Dew Drop an 18-17 win in the game as well as the series by a two games to one margin. With the win, Dew Drop advanced to a best-of-five second round series with regu-lar-season champion Straight Cuts Lawn Services, which kicked off Friday night.

“We had a deep bench tonight,” said Dew Drop co-manager Dale Far-rell of one of the rare times that the team had all players present and ac-counted for this season. “We used everybody we could and everybody on this team can play.”

singled home Amber Cutchember in the top half of the fourth to open up a 4-1 lead, but the Just Us onslaught began. “We have to learn that we can’t just score runs in one or two innings, we have to score every inning and not give the opposing team extra runs,” Keen said. “When you dig yourself a hole, it’s tough to get out of that.”

Leading the charge for Just Us was right fielder Yola Lyles, who drove in four runs, and King’s two triples, the second one scoring Gail Maddox and Anita Nelson ahead of her in the bottom of the fifth.

“It’s a little different from last year,” King said of the recent Just Us hitting spree that has them chasing Bud Light for first place in Division I. “Last year we started off really well and slowed down near the end. This year we’re hitting at the right time. Nobody can beat us when we’re hitting.”

Lyles feels that the team is a little more settled now that the league playoffs are set to begin in the next two weeks. “We’ve started to relax,” she explains. “We just play minute by minute.”

Lamont Saxon believes that his team can go as far as they want as long as they continue to work together.

“They just have to continue to playing like they’ve been playing and work hard as a team,” he says. “Teamwork is the most important thing.”

said. “[Blue Crabs manager] Butch Hobson knew him before; he’s easy to work with, a good worker, and he knows how to pitch.”

Before he was throwing fast-balls, Morse was kicking around soccer balls, starting at the age of five in the St. Mary’s County soc-cer leagues. It was at eight years old that he discovered baseball and a couple of vital points along with it.

“I found out I was better at it and enjoyed it more, so I’ve stayed with it ever since,” Morse said.

After a stellar career at Leon-

ardtown High School and Charles County Community College (now known as the College of South-ern Maryland), Morse then went to Mount Olive College in North Carolina for a season before be-ing picked in the 24th round of the 1999 draft by the Florida Marlins. Morse pitched three seasons in the Marlins’ system before going the Independent League route, which is where he’s had a lot of success.

Like most pro baseball play-ers, a trip to the Major Leagues is something that Morse thinks about, but not much, as he’s committed to helping the Blue Crabs win.

“I just take it one day a time and keep working,” he says. “You just have to have an opportunity,

and hopefully it works out for the best.”

As for the Blue Crabs, who lead the Liberty Division of the At-lantic League by two games over the Long Island Ducks, Morse feels the team can continue to be successful as long they continue their recent hot play.

The team has won seven of its last 10 games.

“You want to be the ones in the lead, not chasing somebody down,” he said, adding that the key to the Blue Crabs’ success has been time-ly hitting and great pitching. “We just have to keep playing like we are and working hard.”

Before the drama of the seventh inning, Dew Drop came out strong, putting together five runs in each of their first two plate appearances.

Designated Hitter Tater Hewitt led the charge, as he clubbed two home runs in the game, driving in six runs over-all. Jeff Gas also collected four hits and scored two runs for Dew Drop.

Despite home runs from Jamie Guy, Stevie Burroughs (both men cleared the fence twice in the series) and right fielder Devon Knott, Dew Drop held what seemed to be a se-cure 14-7 lead after the fifth inning when Harley manager Jim DeYuliis sought to fire his guys up, telling them that ten solid hits could win the series for them.

“That’s what we needed, that’s what we had to do,” DeYuliis said of the late rally that put Dew Drop on the ropes. “We didn’t hit all game, but we did hit when we needed to.”

After a four-run sixth inning closed the gap to four runs, Harley pushed six across in the top of the seventh, the go-ahead hit coming courtesy of pitcher Charlie Bassor, whose solid single into left centerfield scored Burroughs from second.

“We put the pressure back on them,” DeYuliis said. “We were able to get in front, we just couldn’t hold on.”

After Dew Drop scored two quick runs in between a pop out to shortstop Guy, Matisick, who hadn’t played all game, came in and lined a shot into right-center field that scored the game winner and sent DDI into the second round of the play-offs. Matisick said being a sub works to his advantage a little bit “because you get to see play as it goes in front of you and you focus on the task at hand.”

With such a dramatic win propelling them into the next round, Dew Drop believes that winning in such a fashion will help them against a team that went 21-2 in the regular season.

“When you come back and win a game like,” Matisick said, “it boosts your confidence a lot.”

He also feels that Dew Drop’s post-season success comes from the bench players’ willingness to contribute and cheer on the starters.

“Dale puts out the best 11 players he can, and we’re a good bunch of guys, so we do what we can do to win.”

Farrell feels that with the depth, solid defense and time- ly hitting, Dew Drop will give Straight Cuts a run for their money.

“We’ll need base hits and good defense – our defense has bean really great – if we keep those two things together, we have a good chance,” Farrell said.

youthful angst, after the game ended, we all went to a corner store, bought some juice and snacks, and laughed and joked like we were not calling each other everything but a child of God earlier in the day.

That sort of camaraderie can only come from unorga-nized sports, but when you put organization into certain things, when you try to mold and program kids to become athletic robots, that’s when the fun is taken out of the game, and when something isn’t fun anymore, children most definitely will not want to be bothered with it anymore.

I refuse to say that orga-nized sports youth is a bad thing, especially when man-aged and run correctly. How-ever, therein lies the problem – stage parents who believe THEIR special child should be starting at this position, who don’t think someone else’s kid is all that special or that certain children are re-ceiving more playing time be-cause the coach is a parent or a relative are contribute to the delinquency of youth athletes.

Some children have egos beyond belief and really think they’re on their way to being the next Superstar because their parents have told them so and forced the kid to focus their energy on being the best among a group of kids when the general idea of league par-ticipation should be to have fun. Instead, children are programmed to be machines of hitting, running and throw-ing power while their emo-tions are pushed to the side with the age-old mantra “GET TOUGH!” Why are we ask-ing grade school-age kids to “get tough?” Nothing about sports should be tough except the wait until the next time they get to play a game.

I will say that having a competitive drive is certainly nothing to be ashamed of – if anything it should be chan-neled properly so children can apply to all facets of their lives and not just sports. If we pushed our kids in the class-

room as much as we do on the field or on the court, we would have some world class doctors, lawyers, teachers and businessmen and business-women as well as athletes.

There’s nothing wrong with setting goals, taking steps towards achieving and then achieving those goals. There is something wrong when kids are walking, talk-ing and acting like profes-sional athletes when they have yet to deal with the perils of junior high and puberty hap-pening to them all in one fell swoop.

Which is why the extinc-tion of unorganized sports and playing for fun really hurts society, not just from an athletic perspective, but from a character-building one as well. A lot of adults that are my age - I’ll be 27 on Septem-ber 25th, you can send cards to the County Times’ office – that really do believe that life is fair and everything is sup-posed to go their way because they say so and they want their way. That comes from being hyped up and being perceived as being better people than other kids because they were good at some sport or exercise that should have been just for fun and not to destroy and look down upon others.

So as I mourn the death of sandlot baseball and other sports being played just for fun, I also mourn for the fu-ture. Obviously, if we don’t know how to have fun and not take everything so seri-ously as children, then we’ll be prone to making the same mistakes as adults, only to harshly find out that you can’t always get what you want, de-spite what you were told when you were hitting home runs at will against lesser-talented kids.

By Chris StevensStaff Writer

I couldn’t help but let out a sigh of nostalgic proportions when I read an article in the Associated Press a couple of weeks ago about the presumed death of Sandlot baseball. While basketball was and al-ways will be the love of my life (wow, what a single guy comment that was), my best memories as a child involve knocking on various friends and acquaintances doors on the weekends, hoping they would be up early enough to get to our designated field and

play all day long…or until our parents told us to come home, whichever came first.

With the advent of youth travel leagues and overzeal-ous land development, it’s easy to understand why sand-lot baseball isn’t the child-hood treasure that it once was. There’s nowhere for the aver-age kid to play, and – at the risk of sounding Millennial – isn’t fair to those kids who just want to have fun and play a game they love. Out of my group of friends, cousins and associates that I played soft-ball with, NONE of us played high school baseball, let alone

went on to Major League star-dom. And you know what? We were okay with that. We enjoyed playing the game as it was and hanging out with one another, even if things did get heated sometimes.

Our field, a mass of brick and concrete surrounded by trees, wasn’t exactly shaped like a diamond, so it led to many an argument over what was fair or foul. During one particularly heated game, one of my teammates absolutely socked a ball that for all I know might still be floating around in space somewhere. Those of us who were on base

at the time started heading for home plate (as a side note, we used nearby boulders and square-shaped rocks for our bases…along with the cement surface, the no-steal rule was easy to enforce) because we thought it was a home run, one that would’ve put our team ahead by two runs. In-stead, the pitcher for the other team says as we’re rounding the bases, almost in a whisper, “uh-uh…foul ball. It didn’t go in front of that third tree on the right.”

So that began a two-hour argument amongst all involved parties about the legitimacy of the blast and it contained all sorts of obscenities and insults that surely would’ve gotten our preteen mouths washed out with soap if we our par-ents ever found out. I believe we solved the argument by of all things, flipping a coin, which would’ve taken about an hour and 59 minutes off of the time of the debate. Then again, maybe not. Knowing my group of friends the way I do, somebody would’ve felt the coin was flipped unfairly because it was by a member of the other team and vice versa, or it wasn’t flipped high enough, the coin didn’t go end over end and on and on it would’ve went.

Yet and still, after all the name-calling, the preteen cursing and wasting a few hours of sunlight with our

The Newtowne Players Present Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite, August 15-31 LEXINGTON PARK, MD – Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three cou-ples that have occupied Suite 719 at the famed Plaza Hotel in New York City. A suburban couple takes the suite while their house is being painted, and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before. This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little diver-sion. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom, where guests await her. This classic three-act Neil Simon comedy was first presented on stage in 1968 and later made into a movie in 1970; its popularity hasn’t waned since its first performance. The Newtowne Players will perform Plaza Suite Thursdays through Sundays, Aug. 15-31, 2008. Thursday, Friday and Satur-day performances start at 8 p.m.; Sunday shows begin at 3:30 p.m. Perfor-mances are held at Three Notch Theatre on 21744 South Coral Drive in Lex-ington Park, Md. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and senior citi-zens, and $10 for children. Thursday shows are $10 general admission. Light refreshments and beverages are also available for purchase at the theatre. A pre-show champagne reception will be held at 7 p.m. on opening night, Aug. 15.

Property Tax Credit Approved for Sprinkler Systems

The Board of County Commis-sioners for St. Mary’s County adopt-ed an ordinance in November 2007 requiring the installation of residen-tial “fire protection sprinklers” in all new one- and two-family residential units served by “public water.”

The County Commissioners approved an ordinance on August 5 allowing for a property tax credit for those not required to install resi-dential “fire protection sprinklers.” Citizens voluntarily retrofitting their existing homes or voluntarily installing a sprinkler system in a new home are eligible for a one-time property tax credit, per the August 5 ordinance.

Taxpayers may receive tax credit for the installation of a fire sprinkler system in a single family dwelling if the system is installed between Feb-ruary 1, 2008 and February 1, 2011. The amount of the tax credit for a new, single-family dwelling is $1500 and the amount of the tax credit for homeowners retrofitting existing dwellings is $2000. The amount of either tax credit may not exceed the amount of the net County property tax paid by the qualifying taxpayer. For more information on applying for the tax credit, call Harry Knight

Management Department Chair, as part of the 2008 Principal for the Day Pro-gram. The program allows for local businesses and aca-demic institutions to partner with St. Mary’s County lo-cal schools by shadowing the school principal for a day. On behalf of DAU, Mr. Mallicoat presented a Letter of Appre-

ciation to Ms. Eddy and staff on 30 May 2008. The hopes are that the next phase will be for the local businesses and academic institutions to host school principals so they can see the opportunities offered from local businesses and academic institutions.

Water rescue nets three theft suspects

On August 9, 2008 at approximately 9:50 a.m. a citizen reported observing a male subject floating on the water’s surface with the aid of a styrofoam cooler in the area of Camp Merryelande Road in Piney Point. Deputies responded to the scene and requested the assistance of emergency medical services. Maryland Natural Resources Police, Ridge Volunteer Fire Department, Valley Lee Res-cue Squad and Trooper 7 ar-rived on the scene and were able to rescue the first subject from the water safely and un-harmed. Herbert Omar Fuen-tes-Barrios ,32, from Wood-bridge ,Va. stated he and two other companions had stolen a canoe from a residence on Camp Merreylande Road at approximately 3:00 a.m., taking it out into the water. He advised the canoe cap-sized and he held on to the cooler until rescue personnel arrived. A search was then conducted for the remaining two persons by Trooper 7 who spotted the two subjects clinging to the overturned canoe approximately 400 yards from the campground. The subjects were rescued from the water by Boat 6 of the Ridge Volunteer Fire Department and were un-harmed. The two suspects, Juan M. Vargas-Paredes, 32, and Ruben R. Solis, 32, both of Woodbridge, Va. were seen by medical personnel on the scene and released. The three subjects were

taken into custody, charged with theft over $500, unau-thorized removal of private property and incarcerated in the detention center pending a hearing before the District Court Commissioner.

Deputies investigate vehicle break-ins

On August 11, 2008 Dep-uty M. Boyer and Sdfc. B. Connelly responded to a re-port of several vehicles being broken into in the California area. While investigating the incidents Maryland State Police stopped a vehicle on Mervell Dean Road. The vehicle was found to con-tain items allegedly stolen from the vehicles being in-vestigated by Connelly and Boyer. William A. Krell, 23, and Robert A. Krell, age 24, of both of Budds Creek Rd. in Charlotte Hall and Muneit M. Obrien, 19, of Waldorf were charged with theft over $500 and theft under $500. The three suspects were in-carcerated in the detention center pending an appear-ance before the District Court Commissioner.

Man arrested, charged for burglary

On August 9, 2008 depu-ties responded to the report of several burglaries to sheds in the area of Sue Dr. in Lex-ington Park. Investigation revealed Tracy Lee Beach, 36, of Sue Dr. had allegedly broken into several sheds and

stolen property belonging to several victims. On August 10, 2008 Beach was located

and placed under arrest. He was subsequently charged with second-degree bur-

glary, three-counts of third degree burglary, theft under $100 and incarcerated in the

detention center pending an appearance before the Dis-trict Court Commissioner.

nate to sail with Teddy Turner, Jr. He brought a lot to the team, really gave us some good ad-vice and was an invaluable part of the team.” As the A-O class “underdog,” Hutchinson was “really pleased to win.”

Turner, a former member of the St. Mary’s College Board of Trustees, crewed aboard Me-ridian and was impressed with the skills of the collegiate sailors.

“I think it’s fantastic that a St. Mary’s team would win this race,” said Turner, a Charles-ton, S.C., resident and son of the former Amer-ica’s Cup champion of the same name. Turner also commented, “It was an upwind race and fortunately (Meridian) happens to go upwind very well.”

St. Mary’s College of Maryland’s Sailing Team has won 13 national championships and produced more than 100 collegiate All-Ameri-can sailors since 1991. The college has a long tradition of sailing, and sailing classes have been offered continuously since 1962.

Hutchinson and crew on Meridian also won the Alumni Trophy. Participating alum-ni included Justin Bates (’06), Colin Woods (’05), Mark Allegrini (’05), Walter Prause (’99) and Tyler Keyworth (’08). To be eligible

for the Alumni Trophy, two or more members of the boat’s crew must be St. Mary’s College of Maryland alumni. The award is presented to the yacht with the highest percentage score, which is computed by dividing the number of boats defeated in a class by the number of boats registered in the same class.

The Governor’s Cup Yacht Race is the old-est and longest overnight race on the Chesa-peake Bay, running from Maryland’s current capital city to its first capital in St. Mary’s City. Approximately 134 boats were entered this year. The race began Friday, Aug. 1, at the entrance of the Annapolis Harbor and finished Saturday, Aug. 2, on the shores of St. Mary’s College of Maryland with a post-race party. The schooner Adventurer served as the start boat in Annapolis, with the Maryland Dove, a replica of a 17th-century square-rigger from Historic St. Mary’s City, as the finish boat at St. Mary’s College of Maryland.

The Governor’s Cup was founded in 1973 by three St. Mary’s College of Maryland stu-dents with the support of then president Ren-wick Jackson. It has been sailed every sum-mer since. The first race, held in 1974, attracted only 47 boats. The start gun was a sawed-off shotgun, and the start shapes were handmade out of cardboard boxes covered in plastic and beach towels.

Check out this weird looking dude. Big long arms. Big long legs. Big rounded tum-my. But wait! What’s that funny looking thing suspended below its mouth? It’s a….nose! Yep, that large pendulous fleshy schnoz be-longs to the male Proboscis Monkey. Despite its humongous size, the nose has a practical purpose. When the monkey

senses danger, or is excited or angry, its nose gets bigger and redder. And as the nose swells in size it becomes a natural sounding chamber. The monkey’s loud honking noises become more intense, along with the nose standing straight out. Now picture that!

Biologists think the bizarre looking nose has another purpose --- to attract the female of the species. It seems that the bigger the nose, the more attractive the male. In fact, the male’s nose can grow as much as seven inches long --- just more for the female monkeys to admire, whose own noses are petite and up-turned. A single male monkey lives in a ha-rem with around six females.

Proboscis Monkeys have reddish-brown backs; orange colored shoulders; grayish limbs; and a long white tail. They live in small groups of about 12 to 30 members on the Indonesian Island of Borneo in South East Asia. The monkeys are mostly arboreal (live in trees) but are also amphibious (live on land and in the water). Borneo’s dense mangrove forests, swamps, and riverine forests allow the monkeys to have a blast climbing and swing-ing in trees; wading and swimming in the water; or just chowing down on a vegetarian diet of young, tender leaves, unripened fruit, seeds, and mangrove shoots. And it’s not un-usual for the male to lift that big schnoz out of the way in order to get food into its mouth! Like deer and other ruminants, the monkey’s digestive system is divided into compart-ments where food is fermented. And that’s the reason for their barrel-like stomach. However, Proboscis Monkeys are not classified as true ruminants.

Sometimes the monkeys seem almost hu-man-like. They have been observed walking upright when wading in the water, with fe-males carrying their young on their hip. They have also been known to walk upright in sin-gle file along forest trails. Only a few other

mammals (the gibbon, a small ape, and the giant pangolin, a kind of ant eater) are known to use this form of locomotion for any length of time.

Adult males weigh around 50 or so pounds, while females are about half that size and give birth to one baby at a time. In Bor-neo the monkeys are known as “Monyet Be-landa,” which means “Dutchman Monkey.” The local people thought the early European traders to the region were hairy, with big nos-es and pot bellies. The word “proboscis” has several meanings, but in the monkey’s case, it just means he has a very big nose.

The monkey is threatened because of deforestation to its habitat. It is also on the Endangered Red List of Threatened Species since Borneo is the only place in the world where the Proboscis Monkey lives (there are only about 7,000 of them known to exist). You cannot see them in zoos in this country because their unique requirements would be impossible to duplicate. As an experiment several years ago, some monkeys were sent to a zoo on the island of Java, near Borneo. Sadly, most of them died because of the stress of living in captivity.
