24FIT Challenge
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Get fit and change your life with the
free 24FIT Challenge.
Herbalife is an international company that is in over 90 countries and has
been around for 35 years. Independant
members offer customized plans to
help people lose weight, gain weight,
or build muscle.
A local Herbalife coach, Eric McKay
runs his own 24FIT Challenge for the
southern Maryland area.
The 24FIT Challenge runs month
long challenges with two-week breaks
in between each session. Before the
start of the month, participants are
measured and weighed and perform
an initial assessment that includes
exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups,
and a mile-long run. The group then
meets three times a week on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday in a morning
session at 9 a.m. or an evening session
at 6:30 p.m. The hour-long classes consist of cardio and bodyweight exercises
and are taught by McKay who started
with Herbalife a year ago.
The classes usually take place outside
at the Hollywood Volunteer Fire Departmen. The classes do plan on moving indoors for upcoming challenges.
As of now, McKay has about 35 people in the night classes, with the morning classes running a bit smaller.
I only plan on growing, he said.

Martial Arts
Promote a Strong,
Healthy Life Style
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Calvert County is home to a wide variety of martial arts studios, ensuring there
is something for every age and ability level. Which one is right for you?
Master (Kwan Jang Nim, in Korean)
Kyle Webber started taking Tae Kwon Do
classes at the age of 13. He was getting
picked on a lot at school. He wasnt good
at sports and was having trouble finding
a group to fit in with. Around that time,
Master Kyu Shim was starting the first
Black Belt Academies in Southern Maryland. Tae Kwon Do was something new
and, before Master Shims schools, there
werent a lot of studios in the area.
The Black Belt Academy of Prince
Frederick teaches Olympic-style Tae
Kwon Do. Master Kyu Shim opened the
Black Belt Academy of Prince Frederick
in 2004 and Webber took the academy
over a year and half later, at the age of 19.
Since Shim started the first Black Belt
Academy the student population has
grown large enough to hold two tournaments a year, one in the spring at Patuxent
High School and one in the fall. This nice
thing about martial arts, as opposed to
team sports, is everyone competes against
their own record and works at their own
pace.
Webbers school offers classes for all
levels throughout the day, including after
school and evening classes.
Tae Kwon Do isnt the only type of martial art available in the county. The Calvert
MMA Academy opened in 2007, bringing
instruction in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Thai
Boxing to Southern Maryland for the first
time, according to owner Jim Thrift. JiuJitsu is a more defensive style, while Thai
Boxing focuses on stand up striking and is
more aggressive. Calvert MMA celebrated its 10-year anniversary on Oct. 27.
According to the Calvert MMA website, in addition to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and
Thai Boxing, we have had guest instructors teach American freestyle wrestling,

Sweet Dreams
Candy Shoppe
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe brings
back the tastes of the old days. An oldfashioned candy store with handmade
chocolates is a great place for the person
who wants to remember the candy from the
good ol times or to taste a classic for the
first time.
Owner Bonnie Blackwell started Sweet
Dreams Candy Shoppe in honor of her
husband who, in 2001, was hit and killed
by a drunk driver while running. He loved
the old fashion candy Boston baked beans,
which are peanuts covered in reddish
chocolate shells that resemble baked beans
when in bulk.
Blackwell thought she should open a
store selling this sort of candy, so she began
in a stall in Calvert Country Market. After
a year or two of good business, she expanded into a larger space within the market.
Business still went strong, but in 2007, Calvert Country Market closed. Sweet Dreams
Candy Shoppe then moved to Third Street
in North Beach and later expanded into
their current St. Leonard location in 2010.
Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe sells handmade chocolates, toys, drink mixes for hot
chocolate, coffee, and smoothies, sodas
in glass bottles, old-fashioned candy, and
more.
Blackwell is a self-taught chocolate maker and she makes everything from chocolate covered Oreos to white chocolate lemon bark and milk chocolate cordial cherries
to dark chocolate orange jellies.
Their best selling chocolate would be
their Old Bay chocolate crabs, which make
a unique, salty and sweet treat.
The kids love the gummies and the
BeanBoozled Jelly Bellies.
Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe holds
birthday parties where kids get to play
games and make and decorate their own
chocolate pops. The shoppe holds tea parties and chocolate making classes as well.
They do special orders for events like
weddings and baby showers and even offer chocolate paintings. Blackwell and her
daughter will paint anything requested
such as pets, portraits, celebrities and more.
They use chocolates ranging in white to

BLEACHERS
A View From The
The Stable
Majority v. Trolls
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
When the undefeated Michigan
Wolverines hosted the undefeated
Michigan State Spartans a couple
of weeks ago, I didnt have an obvious dog in the fight. Ive never even
visited Michigan. Maybe I flew west
via Detroit but I cant say for sure.
Ive bought a lot of albums from Detroit natives Kid Rock and Eminem,
though. I shamelessly sing Bob Seger
songs in the car. The beers from Bells
Brewery in Comstock, Michigan are
delightful. Does that qualify me to
choose sides in the states biggest rivalry? The Wolverine states collective response to my overture: Meh.
Fair enough. True to my inescapable mid-Atlantic form, I watched
the game with passing interest.
Michigans coach, Jim Harbaugh,
was fascinating, as always. Michigan States quarterback looked good.
Maybe he could help a certain pro
football team in D.C.? Other than
that, the hope was simply for good
competition.
It delivered. Michigan led 10-7 at
halftime, 20-14 at the end of the third
quarter and 23-21 with 10 seconds
left. Then it happened: The cruelty
of high-level, competitive athletics
bit the Wolverines. Michigans punter mishandled a low snap and compounded the error by fumbling the
ball. Michigan State scooped it up
and scored a game-winning touchdown as time expired.
In East Lansing, the reaction was
joyous chaos. In Ann Arbor, and
among Michigan nation at large, a
celebration was replaced with complete devastation in ten seconds flat.
Some handled the disappointment
better than others.
The punters name is Blake
ONeill. Hes a 22-year-old graduate
transfer from Weber State. He hails
originally from Melbourne, Australia and has played a lot more Australian rules football than American
Football. But none of that matters.
ONeill is now synonymous with
the fumbled punt, the gut-wrenching
loss and dashed national title hopes.
Hes in the goat fraternity with Bill
Buckner and Scott Norwood, poor
souls whose gaffs lead their Wiki
pages.
Despite ONeills botching of a
basic football play at the worst of
all moments, the majority of disappointed Wolverine faithful kept perspective. Was it a gut punch? Did it
