Ray of Hope Leads MLBs First-Half Storylines
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer With every Major League Baseball team now playing at least 81 games as of press time, the longest season in professional sports is now halfway over. With several teams still in contention in their respective divisions (of course who really gets eliminated by July? Tampa Bay? Oh, the surprises ahead) and several players having career years, consider this your official County Times season in review to date. In case youve missed it, here are some of the seasons first half highlights starting with a pleasant surprise in the Sunshine State; history, and what a sad history it has been. Never finishing with a winning record or better than fourth place in the American League East, the Rays are currently in a hotly contested race for the Division Title with the defending world champion Boston Red Sox, while the New York Yankees and their 200-million-dollarplus payroll middle along in third place. And they say life isnt fair. Go Rays. seasons National League batting crown, is hitting .394 as of June 30 before taking a trip to disabled list to heal his injured hamstring. While much of this chase largely depends on Jones ability to get healthy and soon, Chipper should see many pitches to hit, as he is backed up in the Braves batting order by talents such as Marylands own Mark Teixeira and right fielder Jeff Francoeur.

bies and they currently have the best offense in baseball to go with lights out pitching, led by the Ace of the asylum, Carlos Zambrano. While any number of teams from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Cubs chief rival, the St. Louis Cardinals, might have something to say about the Cubs march to the World Series, this team is the team to beat in the National League without question.

Angels All Over the Field

If the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim can get out of the divisional round this season, it might be full steam ahead towards the Fall Classic. The American Leagues equivalent of the Cubs, the Angels have great pitching and an offense that gives its staff more than enough run support. And with quality outfielders like Gary Matthews, Jr. and Torii Hunter and eating up anything that comes within eyesight, the Angels are poised to run away with the American League West Crown and will provide formidable opposition to the Red Sox drive for a World Series repeat.

ues his feel-good comeback from drug and alcohol abuse by terrorizing American League pitching and keeping the Rangers above .500. National League MVP: Its hard to go against Phillies second baseman Chase Utley, who despite a recent slump is tied for the Major League in Homeruns and second behind teammate Ryan Howard in the National League RBI race, and is a major part of the Phils current hold on first place in the National League East. If Philadelphia can hold on the first place, the award is Utleys.

AL Manager of the Year

Bostons Terry Francona and the Angels Mike Scioscia should make room for a new kid on the block Tampa Bays Joe Maddon. Sure the Rays second year manager has the talent in front of him to make him look like a genius, but getting that talent to play together and work hard has been his strength, and one of the many reasons the Devil Rays are contending for a playoff spot for the first time in franchise history.

AL Cy Young Award Winner

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Cliff Lee is having the best season of any AL hurler right now, going 11-1 with a 2.34 Earned Run Average, providing a silver lining in a dark cloud of a season for the disappointing Tribe, who might be shopping another solid starting pitcher, C.C. Sabathia, before the trading deadline.

NL Manager of the Year

In a shocking development, Lou Piniella has not kicked dirt on an ump, tossed a base or played soccer with his cap all season long. Not that Chicago Cubs fans are complaining. The kinder and gentler Sweet Lou has guided the Cubs to the best record in the National League by far, and has managed to stay there despite injuries to Alfonso Soriano, Carlos Zambrano and valuable off-season pickup Reid Johnson. So, with the season halfway in the books, and the AllStar break coming up shortly, youve been caught up to speed on all the Major League happenings that are fit to print. If the first half is any indication, the second half and the postseason are going to be events that you surely dont want to miss. What do you think of this weeks From The Sports Desk? Contact Chris at chrisstevens@countytimes. net with your feedback.

NL Cy Young Award Winner

Arizonas Brandon Webb is in position to win this award for the second time in the last three seasons, as he leads the National League in wins (12) and is third in ERA behind San Franciscos Tim Linceum (2.38) and Milwaukees Ben Sheets (2.83) respectively. If Sheets get run support from his Brewers teammates, he could very well overtake Webb by seasons ends. At this point, Webb earns it by a nose.

First Half Awards Chasing Ted Williams

While one sports writer still feels ripped off that Hallof-Famer Tony Gwynns chase for a .400 batting average was an unnecessary casualty of the 1994-95 strike, one major leaguer is making a serious attempt to become the first man since the great Ted Williams in 1941 to hit that magic number. Atlanta Braves Chipper Jones, who never hit higher than .337 in winning last

Next Year Is Here Maybe

Quick, who was the President of the United States when the Chicago Cubs last won the World Series? Give up? Theodore Roosevelt was winding down his two-term run as President when the Cubs won their last world title in 1908.

American League MVP: Raise your hand if you had J.D. Drew in your AL MVP pool. Didnt think so. Drew has followed up his clutch 2007 postseason with an MVP caliber first half (.304 batting average with 15 homers and 48 runs batted in), which the Red Sox needed in the absence of slugger David Ortiz. You could also make a case for Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton (.312 with 19 homers and 79 RBI), who contin-

County Commissioners member Kenny Dement. This is why were here today, because of him, Dement, known as Mr. Softball in his own right, said. I knew Buddy all my life, he was a dedicated individual and he

lived and died softball. Winks Pilkerton, a longtime coach who estimated he and Joy worked together (and sometimes got ejected from games together) for at least 25 years, gave credit to his friend for his great knowledge of the

game. I learned more about softball from Buddy than I could from any rule book, Pilkerton recalled. I think he knew more about the game than some of the umpires did. The Joy family have long been a fixture in County softball, with Buddy coaching his wife Piggy and both of his daughters Pam and Dawn Tennyson, who was extremely grateful for Sundays heavy turn out of players, coaches and people who just stopped by to have a good time at

Tippetts. Its all about these ladies coming out on a Sunday to help us out, Tennyson said. We appreciate everyone coming out for such a good cause, Bohmann said. Were very proud, Joy said. Its very nice for people to come out, enjoy themselves and raise money for the Heart Association. The tournament raised $1,200 dollars last year for the AHA and Tennyson expected Sundays earnings to match that total.

The team came away from Newport with eight of its members elected to the ICSA All-America Sailing Team and with second place in the prestigious Leonard M. Fowle Trophy standings. The trophy is awarded annually to the best overall college sailing team in the nation. SMCM Varsity Sailing Coach Adam Werblow said he was proud of the third place finish in the event. According to Werblow, the team also proved its mettle by taking second place in the Fowle standings. Boston College was awarded first place.

We demonstrated all year long that we were one of the very best teams in college sailing, and finishing second in the Fowle standings proves just how close we came to owning it all, Werblow said. The Seahawks had more All-Americans than any other school in the nation, with eight selections and one honorable mention. The Seahawks eight All-Americans accounted for almost one-fifth of the entire All-American team. Adrienne Patterson (08, of Newport Beach, Calif.) and Sara Morgan Watters (10, of Oxford, Md.) earned spots on the All-American womens team, with Megan T. Magill (11, of San Diego, Calif.) earning an honorable mention. Jesse Kirkland (10, of Warwick, Bermuda), Justin Law (07, of Newport Beach, Calif.) and John Loe (08, of New Orleans, La.) were named All-Americans on the co-ed team. Mat-

tie Farrar (08, of Blaine, Wash.), Margaret Lumkes (08, of River Forest, Ill.) and Meredith Nordhem (08, of Chicago, Ill.) earned spots on the All-American crew team. While the awards are special for those individual players, the whole team put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into our sport, Werblow said in regards to the Seahwks All American selections. Each of our players invested in one another. That investment paid off and they were awarded with this tremendous honor. Competitors from 30 schools took to the waters of Narragansett Bay for the ICSA National champion-ships. Over nine days of competition, the best college sailors in the nation raced for the ICSA Womens National Championship, the ICSA/APS Team Race National Championship, and the ICSA/Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship.

2008 Maryland Chiefs Challenge Click It Or Ticket Campaign Proclamation

On June 24, 2008 the Board of County Commissioners for St. Marys County Maryland issued a Proclamation proclaiming June as Maryland Chiefs Challenge Click It or Ticket Month. The Maryland Chiefs Challenge Click It or Ticket Campaign is a year long crusade to promote and increase usage of seatbelts and child safety seats. When worn correctly, seatbelts reduce the risk of fatal injuries by forty-five (45) percent for front seat passengers of cars and sixty (60) percent of passengers traveling in pick up trucks, SUVs and minivans. Child safety seats are the most effective occupant protection devices used in vehicles today and when used correctly they are seventy (70) percent effective in reducing fatalities in children ages five and younger. Seatbelts and child safety seats are one of the best defenses against the drunk, drugged or aggressive driver. Observational seatbelt use in St. Marys County is ninety-one and a half (91.5) percent. The continued public awareness, education and enforcement of Marylands seatbelt and child safety laws will result in a significant reduction in traffic related deaths and serious injuries.

Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron and the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office would like to wish everyone a safe and sober Fourth of July. The Sheriffs Office would like to remind the community to attend the Freedom Fest celebration at the St. Marys County Fairgrounds on Saturday, July 5, 2008. In an effort to ensure a safe traffic flow to and from the fairgrounds we are asking all vehicles coming from south of the fairgrounds to park at the Leonardtown High School parking lots. Vehicles coming from north of the fairgrounds should park in the Leonardtown Middle School parking lots and vehicle coming from the Hollywood and California areas should park in the fairgrounds parking lot. During the fireworks display roads in the area will be temporarily closed. When the fireworks are over, vehicles leaving Leonardtown High School will be directed south on Route 5, the vehicles leaving Leonardtown Middle See Freedom Fest page B-5

Summer Food Safety Advisory

With summer, comes an abundant supply of fresh local farm products and the healthier eating habits that go along with the seemingly endless supply of fresh fruits and vegetables. St. Marys County Health Department encourages consumers to buy local, and to learn about safe consumption of food products to ensure a summer free of food borne illnesses. Most people know that washing fresh fruits and vegetables is the smart thing to do no matter where they are purchased, noted the Countys Health Officer, Dr. William Icenhower, however, what consumers may be less aware of is the health risks associated with meats, eggs, and baked items. Both measures, washing fresh products and exercising caution when selecting processed foods and other food items for purchase, will help protect you and your families from harmful bacteria that can make you sick. While the health department joins regional and national marketing campaigns that promote the healthy outcomes of buying local, Dr. Icenhowers main concern for local residents is that consumers may overlook the hidden risks of purchasing some products. He notes that the probability of getting a serious food borne illness such as botulism is relatively low, but the severity of that disease alone is high enough to warrant a consumer advisory to pay attention to the source and processing history of low sugar and canned acidified foods, including some fruits and vegetables, relishes, pickles, and salsas. Icenhower is looking forward to a productive growing season this year since he and his wife buy most of their summer fruit and vegetable produce from our local outdoor markets. As the countys health officer, he and his staff are charged with the effort to oversee state and federal licensing requirements and ensuring that local food producers are trained and educated about food sale restrictions and proper food handling so they maintain their outstanding reputation with our local citizens. According to Icenhower, the Health Department has a dual responsibility of protecting both the consumer and the farmer. Unsafe food products not only put peoples health at risk, but also put the summer farmers market economy at risk should a severe illness occur from a product made available at a local market, he noted. As is the case for local supermarkets, all foods sold at local outPhoto Courtesy of Alex Paige

Fourth Annual Gala Celebrates Greenwells Vacations for Vets

Admiral Eastburg was the guest speaker at the Fourth Annual Greenwell Gala, held on May 16th at the J.T. Daugherty Center in Lexington Park, Md. This years Gala celebrated Greenwells Vacations for Vets, a program designed to offer some respite for our nations injured service members. Vacations for Vets offers weekend stays at Greenwells Francis Knott Lodge to disabled veterans currently undergoing treatment at Washington, D.C. metro area military hospitals. Vets and their families enjoy a weekend away from the daily demands of recovering from injuries. Greenwells Vacation for Vets program provides an important service to our nations injured veterans, said Eastburg. This program is a great way to let these noble Americans and their families, all of whom have made major sacrifices, know that they have not been forgotten See Vacations for Vets page B-5 Nevertheless, consumers need to be aware of the potential risks that come with eating some foods. Most farmers market stands are See Summer Food Safety page B-5

door stands and markets need to be properly labeled with the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor, ingredients, and net weight, he added. While self-regulation and cer-

tification is the established standard for our local farmers, the Health Department is continuing its inspection and surveillance efforts while increasing efforts to educate vendors in safe food handling practices.

Marylands Child Passenger Safety Laws

Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron would like to remind citizens - Marylands new child safety seat law went into effect on June 30, 2008. The new law requires all children younger than eight years of age be secured in a federally approved child safety seat, according to the safety seat and vehicle manufacturers instructions, unless the child is 4 feet, 9 inches or taller, or weighs more than 65 pounds. The child restraint must be right for the childs size, age, and weight. Child safety seats include: infant seats, convertible seats, forward-facing seats, booster seats, or other safety devices federally approved for use by children in motor vehicles. Marylands law reads: A person may not transport a child younger than 16 years of age unless the child is secured in a child safety seat or a vehicles seat belt. A child younger than 16 years may not ride in an unenclosed cargo bed of a pick-up truck. A vehicle can be stopped and the driver issued a citation for a violation of these laws. Currently the fines for failing to buckle up children and for allowing a child to ride in an unenclosed cargo truck bed are $48 and $50, respectively. Please remember, it is very important, all children be properly secured in child safety seats and/or seat belts. The safest location in a car to buckle-up a child is in the middle of the rear seat. For further information citizens may contact the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office at 301-475-4040 or call Maryland Kids in Safety Seats at 1-800-370-SEAT or Maryland State Highway Administration at (410) 787-4077. Please Buckle Up!

July 4th River Concert Series to Be Held at SMCM

The Newtowne Players Announce Free Events

The Newtowne Players (NTP) announce two free upcoming events in July, both open to the public and held at Three Notch Theatre on 21744 South Coral Drive in Lexington Park. NTP will hold auditions for the September 2008 performances of four one-act plays: In a Pickle, Key Lime Pie, Overtones and Two Moms. There are roles for up to three (3) men and 13 women, ranging in age from early 20s to 60s. In a Pickle, by local writer Sheila Martel, offers a glimpse into the interpersonal relationships of Wal-Mart employee Ginny Hopewell and her two children, Nancy and Charlie. In the light-hearted Key Lime Pie, by Jason Milligan, the trouble starts when Charlene bakes 12 pies, accidentally losing her sisters wedding ring during the baking process. Just two hours before Tricias wedding, the two sisters embark on a hilarious search for the ring. Alice Gerstenbergs Overtones is a psychological examination of how people act versus how they think. Two women, both jealous of each other, meet under the guise of a friendly get-together, but both have ulterior motives and want to get something from the other one. To complicate matters, each woman is being shadowed by her primitive self, or alter ego, which allows the audience to hear what the women really think of each other. Take two moms, two daughters and one confused husband, throw in some tumult about who belongs to who, stir gently and serve on ice. What do you get? Bob Morans Two Moms - a fun and chaotic comedy. Auditions will be held in the lobby of the theater at 7 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, July 15 and 17. Auditions will be readings from the scripts. Performance dates are Sept. 11-14, 2008. For more information, please contact Producer Keith Williams at edrft_99@yahoo. com. NTP will also host two free workshop sessions on Saturday, July 12, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Registration is limited to 30 people.

Complete Treatment Regimen For Diabetic Nerve Pain Finally Vailable

With the epidemic of diabetes and shingles, more and more people are suffering from pain due to nerve damage. This pain is one of the most debilitating for patients and frustrating for practitioners, as it is difficult to diagnose and responds poorly to standard therapies. According to the Neuropathy Association, upwards of 20 million Americans suffer from nerve pain. The condition results from damage to or a dysfunction of the nervous system. Diabetic nerve pain occurs when high blood sugar levels damage nerves, producing symptoms in about 40 percent of diabetics. It mostly affects hands and feet with symptoms of numbness, tingling and pain, but can include burning and cold sensations. Shingles (herpes zoster) can leave lasting and painful nerve damage at the site of outbreak. Its important for patients that have not found relief from this debilitating pain in traditional therapies to have access to new treatments options once theyre made available. Origin BioMed Inc., a Halifax-based manufacturer of over-the-counter topical drug products, has recently partnered with leading pharmacies across the country to provide people suffering from diabetic neuropathy and shingles pain with its topical pain relief product Neuragen and its line of support products NeuraGEL and NeuroHelp Essential. An FDA-registered overthe-counter drug, Neuragen consists of a proprietary topical preparation used primarily for diabetic pain, postshingles pain, fibromyalgia and other chronic nerve pain. In a recent clinical trial for diabetic peripheral nerve pain, 70 percent of patients noted improvement in pain within minutes of applying Neuragen. In a second trial for post-shingles pain, similar results were reported where 68 percent of patients had pain relief within 15 minutes. In an effort to offer nerve pain patients with a complete treatment regimen for their pain management, Origin has coupled its effective Neuragen topical treatment with new offerings NeuraGEL and NeuroHelp Essential. NeuraGEL is a topical preparation similar to Neuragen but with 70 percent of the strength and blended into a gel from for easier application. NeuroHelp essential is a new vitamin supplement formulated to improve nerve health. The supplements help reduce neural discomfort and provide functional nerve support. More information on Neuragen is available at www.originbiomed.com.

Enjoy Fireworks in a Safe Manner

One may be hard-pressed to find a person who doesnt enjoy a breathtaking fireworks display. These pyrotechnic delights are one of the hallmarks of the summer season. Parks, area beaches and many other recreational areas feature fireworks displays to light up the nighttime sky. Fireworks are also very popular for personal use, with peak use around big holidays, such as Independence Day. Consumer fireworks, if used in accordance with their instructions, are very safe, says the National Council on Fireworks Safety. Injuries from consumer fireworks have dramatically decreased over the past twenty years, despite an increase in usage by consumers. Today, some form of consumer fireworks are allowed in 45 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. But some fireworks can be dangerous. It is recommended that you only buy consumer fireworks from a licensed store or stand. Never buy fireworks from an individuals house, or from someone on the street. Such fireworks are likely to be illegal explosives that can cause serious injury. Consumer fireworks regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission are packaged in bright colors and have safety warnings on the packaging. The packaging sets forth the country of origin, normally China. Typical consumer fireworks include fountains, cones, sparklers, fire crackers, bottle rockets, and multiple tube products. Illegal explosives are often unpackaged and are wrapped with plain brown paper. They are unlikely to have any safety warnings, or place of manufacture. Many of them are handmade in basements or illicit factories. They go by names such as M80, Quarter Stick or Cherry Bomb. If someone approaches you to

sell one of these illegal explosives, politely decline and then call your local police department. If youre planning on enjoying fireworks at your next party or event, follow these safety tips. Only use fireworks if they are legal in your area. Shooting fireworks illegally will likely result in fireworks confiscation by authorities (a waste of your money), fines or even jail time. Fireworks are for outdoor use only. Do not light them indoors and then carry them outside. Follow the instructions for fireworks usage on the packaging. Use them only as intended. Do not try to combine fireworks to get a bigger bang or light display. Keep water in a bucket and a hose nearby for safety reasons. Fireworks should be operated soley by an adult. This adult should wear safety glasses. Spectators should keep a safe distance. Always let common sense prevail.

Dont hold fireworks in your hand or have any part of your body over them while lighting. Dont try to re-light a dud firework. Wait 20 minutes or more and then extinguish the dud in a bucket of water. Sparklers can be beautiful but also dangerous. Do not let children under the age of 12 handle sparklers. Point fireworks away from homes, and keep away from brush, leaves and flammable substances. The National Fire Protection Association estimates that local fire departments respond to more 50,000 fires caused by fireworks each year. Never throw or point fireworks at someone, even in jest. Be respectful of others. Do not shoot fireworks off for a long duration into the wee hours of the night. Neighbors may be trying to get some sleep. By being safe, you can ensure that this summer fireworks season will be enjoyable and a delight to behold.

Woman arrested for assaulting deputies

On June 27, 2008 at approximately 4:45 a.m., deputies responded to a residential burglary in progress in the South Essex neighborhood of Lexington Park. Upon arrival Deputy First Class Sarah Lacey located Leslie Ann Almberg, 27, of Leonardtown, in the area of the residential burglary. Lacey approached Almberg and asked her if she lived in the area. Almberg responded no. Almberg was asked if she had friends who lived in the area. Almbergs response was no. Almberg could not provide a reason for being in the area for the time of night. Lacey noticed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage upon Almbergs breath and person. Deputy First Class Lacey also noticed Almberg had trouble maintaining her balance. Almberg was told she was being detained until deputies had an opportunity to investigate the residential burglary to which they were responding. Almberg became belligerent and stated she was leaving. Lacey placed her hand on Almbergs

shoulder at which point Almberg turned and allegedly attempted to hit Lacey. Lacey arrested Almberg for assault. Almberg became even more belligerent and yelled obscenities. As deputies tried to place Almberg into the patrol vehicle she resisted and refused to put her feet into the vehicle so the door could be shut. Deputy Kevin Meyer was assisting Lacey and as Meyer attempted to secure Almberg in the vehicle she allegedly struck Meyer in the head with her head (head butt). Almberg also allegedly kicked Sergeant Christopher Medved. Almbergs struggle caused the window to the patrol vehicle to be dislodged from its track. Almberg was finally secured in the patrol vehicle and transported to the detention center. Almberg was charged with five counts of assault, failure to obey a lawful order of a police officer, public intoxication and destruction of property.

Arrest warrant leads to suspected heroin

On June 27, 2008 Dep-

uty James Stone responded to a loitering complaint on North Patuxent Beach Road in California. On the way to the complaint Stone observed a Toyota Corolla parked on the corner of West Patuxent Beach Road and North Patuxent Beach Road. The vehicles headlights were on and the vehicle was running. Stone observed the operator of the vehicle leave a wooded area, return to the vehicle and attempt to drive off. The operator was identified as Justin Marcus Karwoski, 26, of Great Mills. Deputy Stone contacted Karwoski who was sweating profusely and appeared to be extremely nervous. Stone could also detect an odor of an alcoholic beverage upon his breath and person. A warrant check of Karwoski determined him to be the subject of a warrant by the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office. Karwoski was arrested on the open warrant and a search incident to the arrest revealed suspected heroin.

The American Bald Eagle, Symbol of Our Country

By Theresa Morr
The American Bald Eagle became our countrys National emblem on June 20, 1782, when the Second Continental Congress adopted The Great Seal of the United States. The effort took six years, three committees, and the combined ideas of 14 men before an emblem was finally agreed upon. Benjamin Franklin, a leading statesman of the time, was not happy with the selection of the Bald Eagle over other feathered symbols being considered. In a letter to his daughter, Franklin wrote: For my own part, I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral charactera rank cowardthe turkey is a much more respectable birdand a true original native of Americathough a little vain and silly, a bird of courage. Perhaps Franklin envisioned the wild turkeys image on the nations coins and paper money; military insignia; on the presidents flag; along with the other patriotic purposes. In the end, the Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol of freedom, great strength, majestic looks, and being a species unique to North America. However, official recognition was delayed until 1789, the same year George Washington became the nations first president. In praise of the Bald Eagle, the late President John F. Kennedy, wrote: The Founding Fathers made an appropriate choice when they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation. The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird aptly symbolizes the strength and freedom of America. For many years, the Bald Eagle was on the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. The species slowly recovered in numbers and on June 28, 2007, the Department of the Interior removed the Bald Eagle from

Sudoku

the List. This regal bird is protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Harsh penalties are meted out for killing, harassing, possessing or selling Bald Eagles. But zoos and other institutions that protect and breed Bald Eagles in captivity are given special permits.

Bald Eagle facts:

The name Bald Eagle is thought to come from Piebald, an old word meaning marked with white. Found in every state except Hawaii, with most living in Alaska. Wingspan range is around 6 to 8 feet; weight is from 10 14 pounds. Both male and female adults have white heads, necks, and tails and blackish-brown backs and breasts; bills and feet are yellow; feathers number around 7,000. Have color vision; excellent eyesight is provided by two centers of focus, allowing the bird to see forward and to the side at the same time. They can spot a rabbit on the ground from a mile away. Primary food is fish but small prey, like ducks and turtles also on the menu. Can fly to an altitude of

around 10,000 feet and reach speeds of 30 35 miles per hour during level flight; lifting power is about four pounds. Can swim but may suffer from hypothermia if the water is too cold. Build large nests in tall trees near rivers, marshes, and coastlines. Nests are used year after year, increasing in great size. Females lay up to three eggs. Incubation duties are shared by both parents, and which lasts for about 35 days. Mated pairs remain together until one dies. Life span in the wild is about 30 years.
