Becky

A second full moon in a calendar month is often called a "blue moon." But Becky and Don Gansauer of Baltimore note that while Spaceweather.com calls tonight's full moon blue, "the calendar on my wall says a full moon will happen on June 1, with another on June 30, making IT the blue moon. Which is correct?" Depends on your time zone. The moon is fully "full" today at 9:04 p.m. EDT. But that's 1:04 a.m. tomorrow in Coordinated Universal (or Greenwich Mean) Time.

Glenelg senior pitcher Becky Schmidt was crossing home plate, getting high-fives from teammates after hitting a home run against Mount Hebron earlier this season as her younger sister watched. Freshman first baseman Casey Schmidt, was up next. She didn't want to be outdone. "I went up thinking, `Man, if I could only get one good pitch right down the middle, then I could measure up.' The very next pitch just happened to be right down the middle and I cranked it," Casey said. "Everyone thought it was cool that I hit one right after my sister, and she called me a copycat."

Back in January 1996, Becky Dowling, then a sophomore, was performing like an All-League forward for the Navy women's basketball team, averaging 18.1 points and 9.1 rebounds.Playing against archrival Army, she soared for a rebound, collided with a rival and fell awkwardly to the floor, twisting her left knee.It would be diagnosed as a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that would sideline Dowling for the rest of the season, probably costing the Midshipmen a run at the Patriot League title.

Navy's women's basketball team improved to 8-0 and advanced to the final of the Navy Classic for the second straight year with a 68-57 win yesterday over Drexel at Alumni Hall.In tonight's championship game at 7: 30, the Mids will meet Murray State, which defeated Long Island, 55-51, in the other semifinal.Navy's Adria Schneck led all scorers with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Becky Dowling and Joanne Groth each added 11 points.Pub Date: 12/21/96

While we were supportive of the decision to let Becky Carlson play JV baseball at Arundel High, we have to admit the situation may be getting out of hand."

Becky Carlson may keep playing baseball with the boys at Arundel High School.The 14-year-old, who last week became one of a handful of girls to play high school baseball in Maryland, was allowed to stay on the squad by Anne Arundel's first female school superintendent."

Anne Arundel County Schools superintendent Carol Parham made a bold but wise decision yesterday to allow Becky Carlson to play JV baseball at Arundel High.The 14-year-old freshman is believed to be the first female to play baseball on a county public school team.Despite the insistence of county coordinators of physical education, Rick Wiles and Marlene Kelly, that there was no way Becky would play, the superintendent displayed , refused to bend.Before her first game last Friday against Calvert Hall, Becky's mom said her daughter asked her, "Will I be able to wear my uniform after next Monday or Tuesday?"

TWO LOCAL girls really took the spotlight last month at the National Junior Wheelchair Championships in Birmingham, Ala.Wheelchair athletes competing in track and field, swimming, archery, slalom and weightlifting were challenged to go for the gold.Becky and Danielle Styer, the 12-year-old twin daughters of Brenda and Richard Styer of Berrywood, were part of a 15-member team from the Bennett Institute, a rehabilitation facility run by Children's Hospital of Baltimore.The twins were born with cerebral palsy.

THE KIDS on the Arundel High School baseball team are playing nicely. It's the grown-ups who are causing trouble.Since she was seven, Becky Carlson, now 14, has been playing baseball with boys. Nobody has ever had a problem with that -- until now. All of a sudden, state and Anne Arundel County school athletic administrators are kicking up a stink over Becky, saying she ought to be playing girls' softball. Their argument: Federal regulations do not require that schools allow girls to play boys sports (and vice versa)

THE GAME is over, and the Arundel High School JV baseball team, an easy 13-7 winner in its season opener, is sprinting off the field.Trotting behind them, trying vainly to keep up, is perhaps the largest media contingent ever to cover a junior varsity game."

With the well-known neighborhoods of Guilford, Charles Village and Waverly surrounding it, one would think the tucked-away and lesser-known community of Oakenshawe could get lost in the shuffle. But residents of the neighborhood would never let that happen. They treasure it too much. "It has beautiful trees, gorgeous gardens and people who are out and about," said Becky Bridger, co-president of the Oakenshawe Improvement Association. "I love the beauty, the diversity and the caring neighbors."

It is not surprising setting came naturally to River Hill's Becky Paynter, considering her mother was a setter during her college days at William and Mary. In her second year on varsity, the junior has registered 355 assists (8.9 per game) and leads the Hawks in serving percentage (.970) and aces (59). Paynter started playing volleyball when she was 12 and also plays for the Maryland Juniors Volleyball Club. Over the summer, she spent two weeks in China with her club team and said the experience and training she received have been invaluable in making her a better player.

On a sweltering July day, Becky Remsberg climbs into a pen with her two black-and-white pigs, Humphrey and Javalina, and sprays them with water. The two Hampshire pigs loll in the sawdust, mustering an occasional grunt of satisfaction, as they cool down during a break at the Harford County Farm Fair. With the arrival of the fair, the animals' days are numbered, and Becky knows exactly where her pigs will end up. "They're going into someone's stomach," the 10-year-old Fallston resident said, tapping the 297-pound Humphrey with a plastic rod. "This one is going into mine."

Shay Doron had only a couple of days to make an impression at last weekend's WNBA pre-draft camp in Cleveland, but she apparently put them to good use. Doron, the second all-time leading scorer in Maryland women's basketball history, was chosen by the New York Liberty in the second round of the WNBA draft and stands a decent chance to land a spot on the roster of her hometown team. Doron, a 5-foot-9 guard and native of Israel who played at the famed Christ the King High School in New York, was taken 16th overall, the Liberty's third draft selection.

At long last, Survivor: Cook Islands is over, and it's unclear whether the latest twist - that the final three would stand before the jury rather than the final two - made much of a difference. Even though Becky was in the final three, she received exactly zero votes to win. But her presence in the final three meant it really was a head-to-head competition between strategist Yul and challenge-dominator Ozzy - neither was tempted to take a weaker player to the final two for an easy win, as we've seen happen in numerous seasons before.

Becky Trumbo never thought this day would come, the day that might be the last of her college lacrosse career. The Towson senior could get an extension with a couple of upsets this weekend in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament. By successfully defending their title, the Tigers would clinch a berth in the NCAA tournament. Otherwise, the prolific career of one of the best players in Towson history could come to a close with today's CAA semifinal at James Madison. "When I was a freshman, the senior class told me that it's going to fly, that the four years go by the fastest ever in your whole life.
