Beale

POOLESVILLE -- Oakland Mills used its superior size and Jamie Beale's slick ball-handling and three-pointers to win the Class 1A South region championship over Poolesville last night, 51-42.The Scorpions will be making their second trip to the state final four, having been runners-up on the last trip, in 1991."Everything fell into place tonight," Beale said. "Usually, when our guards are on, our forwards are off, or our forwards are on, and our guards are off."The host northern Montgomery County team made nine of 12 shots in the first quarter, including eight straight and four from 15-foot range.

In a perfect world Oakland Mills would have played its finest game of the season last night in the Class 1A state championship against Williamsport.It didn't happen. Not by a long shot.But the Scorpions did something more important than look good. They won."It was an ugly game but a win is a win," said Oakland Mills senior point guard Jamie Beale after her team defeated the Wildcats of Washington County, 38-31, at UMBC."I wish yesterday's [Friday] game was today's, but you know we won, and that's the bottom line," said Oakland Mills coach Teresa Waters, whose team played splendidly in routing Rising Sun, 56-27, in the state semifinals.

Oakland Mills point guard Jamie Beale and Wilde Lake forward/center Jessie Roy-Harrison have earned basketball scholarships to Longwood College in Farmville, Va.Friends since the seventh grade, Beale and Roy-Harrison will room together. They will join 1996 Glenelg graduate Jill Younce on a team that last season went 17-11 overall and 14-4 in the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference."I loved the campus, the coaches were wonderful and the teammates were great," Beale said. "I felt at home."

Costumed and ready for work; Job: Rita Beale is a 0) professional demonstrator, handing out samples and coupons, and she likes to dress the part.In the world of professional demonstrators, those people you see handing out samples and coupons at the supermarkets, no one is quite like Rita Beale.She does her stints in costume. There's the French maid costume she wore on Valentine's Day for a chocolate display; a dress with wide horizontal bands suggested a prison outfit for a Sweet Escapes display; and for Cabot cheese, she dressed as Minnie Mouse.

Thomas C. Beale, 57, pathology lab workerThomas C. Beale, a longtime Columbia resident, died Nov. 16 of a heart attack at the Laurel Regional Hospital in Prince George's County. He was 57.A native of Washington, D.C., Mr. Beale moved to Columbia in 1971 and lived in the Owen Brown community.Since 1974, Mr. Beale worked in the pathology laboratory at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington. From 1966 to 1974, he worked for the old Microbiological Research Association in Bethesda.He and Mae Jacobs were married in 1965.

Jamie Beale heard it pop.It was the eighth game in last year's basketball season, and only 20 seconds remained in regulation when Beale, Oakland Mills' point guard, raced to the corner for a loose ball. An Atholton player got there first.Beale moved to cut her opponent off, but her body and right knee were not in sync. And just that quickly, Beale's sophomore season was over.The damage was extensive -- a completely torn anterior cruciate ligament, a partially torn meniscus, and a partially torn medial cruciate ligament.

Bobby Beale has been lined up at almost every football position imaginable since be began playing the game in the midget leagues.He has been an offensive guard, a tight end, a linebacker, a free safety and a running back.It just seems that most football coaches don't know where to play Beale, whose body is always one of the smallest on the team but whose heart is big enough for the whole team.That heart has helped propel the 5-foot-7, 160-pound Glen Burnie senior running back to some big numbers this fall.

Comcast's customers can convert to keep Camden YardsEach month when the cable bill arrives, you start to get that Howard Beale feeling.Beale, for those of you who were over in the Student Union playing pinball when you should have been here taking notes in class, like that nice Miss Stenerud in Row 5, was the anchorman character in "Network." On each newscast, Beale -- to use the clinical term -- would go nutso. His rant against the evils of the modern world would include imploring the audience to shout, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

It's lonely at the top.North Carroll wrestling coach Dick Bauerlein has discovered that fact all too painfully over the last two weeks. His unbeaten and second-ranked Panthers (13-0) are favored to win a seventh straight Carroll County wrestling tournament championship .tomorrow at Liberty.Bauerlein obviously hasn't enjoyed some of the talk from opposing county coaches who have said they wouldn't mind seeing No. 5 Francis Scott Key (10-1-1) knock off mighty North Carroll in the five-team tournament to even the score this year.

Some people never find their life's calling. By the time she turned 13, Amanda Beale had three. Beale started taping radio shows on a karaoke machine at the age of 6, shooting video at 8 and recording music with her older brother's mixer a few years later. "I was never a one-job person," Beale said. Today, Beale, 27, channels her three passions into the local music scene. A consummate multitasker, she has embraced technology and become a pioneer in the local hip-hop community. Her childhood loves have blossomed into a full-time career as a recording studio owner, radio programmer and videographer.

Halfway through the first game of Glenelg's Class 1A state semifinal with Colonel Richardson on Monday night, the Poolesville volleyball team got up and left Ritchie Coliseum in College Park. Maybe team members thought they had seen enough. Glenelg, the No. 8 seed, was losing badly. Maybe the Falcons of Montgomery County thought they would be playing Colonel Richardson tomorrow night in the 1A state championship game. But Glenelg rallied for a strong performance, winning, 16-25, 25-15, 25-5, 25-19, to set up tomorrow's meeting with Poolesville.

After 10 years, Maria and John Goode's three-bedroom Lutherville house felt too small for their bustling family of four children ages 4 to 14. Yet they didn't want to buy another house and leave the neighborhood they loved. "It's in the middle of everything we need to get to," said Maria Goode. Her children were "entrenched" in their schools and local recreational activities and all four grandparents lived nearby. The prospective houses that met their requirements lay outside the community - and carried hefty price tags.

LAKE WORTH, Fla. -- Rain-weary residents dried out, cleaned up and surveyed the damage caused by Hurricane Frances' wide reach as the weakened storm took a second hit at the state yesterday, dumping more water and wind over the Florida panhandle before finally moving inland. The lumbering storm, which battered Florida for much of the holiday weekend, knocked out power to as many as 6 million people and was blamed for at least four deaths. It ripped off roofs, destroyed luxury yachts, caused heavy damage at the Kennedy Space Center and left waterlogged suburban parking lots looking more like the Everglades than strip malls.

A Fredericksburg, Va., man hired to inspect mammography machines and other devices for nearly 15 years in Maryland and elsewhere was masquerading as a medical physicist and had no idea how to do some aspects of his job, federal authorities say. No patients are known to have been harmed at Harbor Hospital Center in Baltimore and 52 other facilities at which Perry M. Beale worked as a consultant, authorities said. They said that other safety checks were in place to prevent that. Beale, 50, a consultant whose hospital and other clients often paid him by mail, was charged Thursday in U.S. District Court in Roanoke, Va., with 38 counts of mail fraud.
