Severna Park coach Andy Borland has faced the run-and-shoot offense enough to know the key to defending it is to keep it off the field.The Falcons (6-2, 5-2) did just that last night, and quarterback Tim Bowerman did the rest as visiting Severna Park downed Broadneck 34-6 in a crucial Anne Arundel County matchup.Bowerman, who had thrown just six touchdowns this season, added five more last night to keep the Falcons' postseason hopes alive."When a Severna Park team throws five touchdown passes, you know we've gone to the run-and-shoot," Borland said afterward.

Representatives of the Keswick Multi-Care Center intend tonight to address concerns of many Roland Park residents that acres of green space in their neighborhood would be eaten up by a proposed senior facility. Keswick administrators will publicly unveil their proposal for 17 undeveloped acres that they are buying from the Baltimore Country Club for $12.5 million at a 7 p.m. meeting at Roland Park Elementary/Middle School at 5207 Roland Ave. The $195 million facility would have 225 independent-living units, 58 assisted-living units and 40 beds for residents in need of skilled nursing.

Instead of celebrating their first days of summer vacation on the beach, Chris Bowerman and Nick Venzke have had their noses in the books and their heads under the hood. Both recent Eastern Technical High School graduates have been meeting with their automotive tech teacher to practice for the Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills national competition this month. The two-student team won the state level of the competition April 22, giving Eastern Technical School two straight wins there. For the contest, the students had 90 minutes to diagnose a series of bugs placed in a car. Since their triumph, Middle River residents Bowerman and Venzke have met in their classroom to go through car manuals and anticipate problems they might see in the national competition June 27 in Dearborn, Mich.

Kelli Bowerman Severna Park, field hockey The senior center back led a defense that allowed only one goal and six shots in two wins last week, boosting the Falcons (13-2) back to the No. 1 ranking.

Matthew Centrowitz would take pleasure in pulverizing the course record at the Bull Run Invitational, the one cross country race the Broadneck High ace hasn't dominated. Why, then, will The Sun's two-time Runner of the Year be missing at Hereford on Saturday? A college visit will trump the state's most prestigious invitational, but this is more than just another recruiting trip. It's a return to roots for a 16-year-old who was born, literally, to run.

THE SPORTING WORLD spun off its axis the day Michael Jordan announced his retirement - his first, second and third. This week, the visionary sneaker-seller behind Jumpman 23 announced that he was stepping down from his world-altering post. We all know Nike president Phil Knight. We know him the way we know Bill Gates or Howard Schultz, the fellas who tinkered with mother boards and asked, "Where do you want to go today?" and who turned coffee drinking into a lifestyle choice. Computer software from Microsoft, caffeine from Starbucks and, most pervasively, the cult of sports culture from a former middle-distance runner from Portland, Ore. Say what you want about the rainy Pacific Northwest, it has been a scintillating environment for cultural revolutionaries over the past 40 years.

It would have been almost un-American not to love this show. Annie Get Your Gun, as presented by Anne Arundel Community College's Moonlight Troupers during a nearly sold-out run, featured Irving Berlin's great tunes well-sung, a lively orchestra, a stage full of cowboys - and a couple of authentic American heroes looking for love. For two weekends at AACC's Pascal Center, a youthful, high-spirited cast of 25 brought to life the story of Annie Oakley, a country girl whose sharpshooting skills brought her into vaudeville and to worldwide fame.

Severna Park and Severn added another exciting chapter to their 26-year-old neighborhood field hockey rivalry yesterday, and it was the top-ranked Falcons who came away with the bragging rights. After falling behind 1-0, Severna Park (2-0) escaped with a 2-1 victory over the visiting Admirals yesterday on All-Metro defender Kelli Bowerman's score five minutes into the second half. Off a set penalty corner, Lily Jefferds found Emily Swartz, who stopped the ball, allowing Bowerman to step up and fire a shot past Severn senior goalie Margaret Bates (14 saves)

In a cramped office at Baltimore County police headquarters in Towson, Lt. Sam Bowerman searches a path to the dark corners of a killer's mind through a paper trail of police reports and pictures of bloody crime scenes.He looks for suspects without names or faces, people with the methods of murder and character defects of others encountered in the six years he has spent analyzing the heinous deeds of criminals.For some officers overwhelmed by daily doses of violence, one more murder means just that: another victim, another crime unsolved.

Lightning killed 10 cows Monday at a dairy farm in Linwood after they had apparently converged under a tree during a storm.Such behavior isn't uncommon for cows during a storm, but to have so many struck dead by lightning is unusual, said David L. Greene, director of the Maryland Cooperative Extension Office in Westminster. The last such case he recalls was about 12 years ago, when a farmer lost 18 cows.The loss of 10 at once hits farmer Gary Bowerman hard. His herd had numbered 90 before Monday's storm hit the farm, near New Windsor.
