Unselfishness Rewarded

always were on each others sides, he explains. Earning an athletic scholarship to Towson University is a huge personal accomplishment, but true to his personality, Norris feels that its a bigger honor for lacrosse in St. Marys County. Its awesome, he says of the scholarships award to he and several friends over at St. Marys Ryken because of myself, Brent and Bryant Schmidt, Zack Angel and Andrew Wascavage, it shows you dont have to be from Baltimore or Long Island to play lacrosse in college. Norris plans to use to use his scholarship as inspiration intending to work hard and get some playing time up there. Chew feels that Norris success is a product of his hard work and ability to share the glory. [Playing at Towson] means that other coaches have saw what weve always saw, Chew said proudly.

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer As a journalist, its usually in ones DNA to be curious about the inner-workings of anything that you cover or follow in this profession. For me, professional sports have always been the complete and total essence of true competition, the best athletes competing at the highest level for the richest prizes in their respective sports. Its a shame that one crooked official whos about to turn in his whistle for a prison jumpsuit stands to bring that thought crumbling to the ground. Tim Donaghy, the disgraced NBA referee who still faces sentencing for his role in an NBA gambling scheme, has implied that several NBA playoff series were fixed over the course of six seasons, most notably the 2002 Western Conference finals, which saw the Los Angeles Lakers edge the Sacramento Kings in a hotly contested seven game series. Donaghy alleges that the Lakers were given the benefit of several calls in Game Six in L.A., which allowed the Lakers to rally from a three games
Would the championship teams from less than desirable media markets in the Disco Decade please sign in? 1975 Golden State Warriors? Check. 1978 Washington Bullets? You got it. 1979 Seattle Supersonics? Come on down. 1977 Portland TrailBlazers? Your spot at the table is waiting. The point of this little diatribe is to show that New York City and Los Angeles have been one-two in the media market rankings since the beginning of time. Why wouldnt the NBA fix it so that the Lakers and the Knicks would dominate every year? After winning two championships in 1970 and 1973, New York stayed in the middle of the pack until drafting franchise centerpiece Patrick Ewing in 1985. Guess what? They still havent won a championship in 35 years. Aside from the Celtics and the Knicks winning two championships apiece and the 72 Lakers assembling one of the best teams of all time, the 1970s were a wild goose chase for the 22 NBA teams hoping to contend for the championship. Everybody had a chance in those days because basketball actually lived up to its game of the 70s billing. Every team and every player believed they had the ability and the talent to be the best, and as a result, the competition was amazingly intense. Even during the vaunted heyday of Larry Bird and Earvin Magic Johnson, the Lakers and Celtics were not without challenges before they met three times in the 1980s to settle who was the best in basketball. The Celtics of course had a local rival in the Philadelphia 76ers, led by Dr. J, Charles Barkley, current Sixer coach Maurice Cheeks and hard-working center Moses Malone, making for some great battles in the East finals. Out west, the Lakers were met with resistance from every team from San Antonio to Seattle before they could even think about the Boston Celtics. With the 1983 Sixers and 1989 Detroit Pistons becoming the only teams other than the Lakers and the Celts to win that brass ring in the 1980s, the fix theory becomes a little stronger, but still a pretty weak argument overall. While many people think that the New York Knicks HAVE to be good for anyone to
care about the NBA, the reality is something quite different. Even under the blundering mismanagement of that paragon for womens rights Isiah Thomas, the Knicks still routinely sell-out Madison Square Garden their fan base is as solid as any team that has won a championship in the past 15 years. The league has survived four San Antonio Spurs championships over the last nine seasons, so dont think for a second that locale is a good reason for a conspiracy theory. No disrespect intended towards the fine citizens of the Alamo City, but if the fix were in, does anyone really think San Antonio would be a wise choice for the capital of the basketball world? Of course not. There would be a gross error in judgment if no one believed that the gambling world influences sports. Why else do we fill out college basketball brackets every single March or hungrily scan the internet gambling sites for the early line of the Super Bowl 15 minutes after the AFC and NFC champions are decided? Yet and still, I have a very hard time believing that David Stern, Major League Baseball chief Bud Selig and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would jeopardize the good faith (and deep pockets) of the fans who pay their hard earned money to see the best competition possible. However, one cant help but think, what if? What if Donaghy is telling the truth? What if the Kings, in the greatest year that franchise has ever had, had their chances at a championship greatly diminished because of a NorCal/ SoCal bias? What if referees are truly at the mercy of betting lines and odds and make calls on the basis of covering said line? Its a scary thing to think about. Still, much like many others who have had the pleasure to watch sports played at a high level for quite sometime, unless stronger proof comes out to back up Tim Donaghys claims, Ill continue believing that the Lakers just went to the basket an awful lot in Game Six of the 02 West finals. Sorry if I cant fix my way of thinking. What did you think of this weeks From the Sports Desk? Contact Chris at [email protected] with your feedback.

Leaving Pets In A Parked Car Can Be Fatal
We all love our pets and want to include them in our daily lives as much as possible. Many times, well take them with us when we run errands or visit friends. And goodness knows how many dogs out there enjoy a ride in the family car. However, the Tri-County Animal Shelter wants you to know that there are certain times of the year, especially in the summer, when the best thing we can do for our best friend is to leave them at home! Pets should never be left in an unattended vehicle for any period of time. On a warm, sunny day, the temperature in a parked car can reach 120 degrees in two minutes, even with the windows partially open. Pets can quickly suffer brain damage or die from heatstroke when trapped in these high temperatures, since they cant dispel heat as well as humans. Basically, pets dont sweat like we do; all they can do is pant. Snub-nosed dogs such as pugs, bulldogs, Lhasa Apsos and Shih Tzus, as well as animals with heart or lung disease, have an even harder time out in the heat. Leaving pets in a parked car also exposes them to theft. Signs of heat stress in a pet include heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting or a deep red or purple tongue. If you see an animal in a car showing any signs of heat stress, contact your local
animal control agency or police department immediately. Provide the location and description of the vehicle, and a tag number. If possible, stay with the vehicle until authorities arrive. The best thing you can do for your pet while you run errands is to leave them at home, relaxing in cool comfort! For more information about the Tri-County Animal Shelter, contact us at 1-800-903-1992 or visit our web page at www.charlescounty. oprg/es/animalcontrol.
On June 10, 2008 at approximately 11:24a.m, Mollie Rea McKay, 82, of Valley Lee, was operating a 2000 Ford 4door sedan and stopped at the stop sign at the intersection of White Oak Parkway at Wildewood Boulevard in California. Roland Reese McKay, age 82, of Valley Lee, was the right front seat passenger. Mrs. McKay stopped at the stop sign but failed to yield the right of way to Denwood Alvin Grube, 29, of California. Grube was operating a 1988 Chevrolet Truck towing a trailer. Grubes vehicle struck Mrs. McKays vehicle in the right side passenger door. Ro-
land Reese McKay was flown from the scene to Baltimore Shock Trauma by Maryland State Police Trooper 7. The accident is being investigated by Deputy First Class Angela Muller. On June 11, 2008, Deputy First Class Daniel Snyder responded to a residence on Budds Creek Road in Mechanicsville to stand by while a property owner served a tenant with an eviction notice. Upon arrival Deputy First Class Snyder met Abner Giles Milam IV, 28, of Mechanicsville. Milam was served with a protective order on May 5, 2008 preventing him
from being at the petitioners residence or having any contact with the petitioner listed in the order. The petitioner was at the residence on Budds Creek Road and reported to Snyder she was assaulted by Milam. Milam was arrested and charged with assault and violating the protective order. On June 12, 2008, Deputy First Class James Maguire responded to the Wal-Mart in California for a theft complaint. It was reported at an unknown time Steven Rene Tharpe Jr., 18, of Great Mills, allegedly stole items from the store and on June 12, 2008 returned to the Wal-Mart and
attempted to return items for cash. When store security confronted Tharpe about the stolen items he attempted to flee the store. Store security caught and detained Tharpe until Maguire arrived. Tharpe was charged with theft. While Maguire was at the Wal-Mart, another theft occurred. Deputy First Class Jason Maletto was also at the Wal-Mart when Robert Emanuel Clifford, 24, of Lexington Park, allegedly attempted to flee the store with a shopping cart containing numerous items. A foot chase ensued and Maletto chased and caught Clifford approxi-
mately 100 yards from the store. Clifford was arrested and charged with theft. On June 13, 2008 at approximately 12:45 a.m., Deputy James Stone was conducting a premise check in the area of Old Missouri Street in Lexington Park when he observed a suspicious vehicle, occupied numerous times parked in an unlit area. Stone investigated and contacted the driver. As Stone was speaking to the driver he observed a purse on the floor board of the vehicle. The purse was open and Stone could see a large plastic baggie containing suspected marijuana. Stone obtained consent
from the driver to search the vehicle. He opened the passengers door and recovered the plastic bag containing the suspected marijuana. Further investigation revealed a small plastic bag containing a large amount of small green jewelry bags, which are often used to package controlled dangerous substances. The investigation revealed the purse and items belonged to Tashara Marie Johnson, 18, of Lexington Park. Johnson was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and possession of controlled dangerous substance paraphernalia.

Sudoku
spread its excrement around, which is just a way of marking its territory. These animals communicate with one another through lots of snorts, hisses, grunts, bellows, along with some very serious head banging. Youve probably seen them on Animal Planet, challenging one another with their huge open mouths, long canine teeth, and ramming their heads together like giant sledgehammers. Ouch! Hippos are herbivores, meaning they like to chow down on plants. As darkness descends, they come out of their watering holes to graze on their favorite short grasses. Hippo groups are made up of females, their young, a few young adult males, and are led by one large male bull. Natural born swimmers. Baby hippos are born on land or in shallow water, ready to swim at a chunky 50 to 100 pounds. Mamma hippo nudges her water baby to the surface for its first breath, and she also nurses the newborn underwater. Hippos live about 20 to 40 years in the wild and about 50 years in captivity. Like many wild African animals, they are threatened by habitat loss and by poachers who sell the hippos meat and teeth.
