Call The School

To be inducted into the Silver Circle, a hall of fame established by the Washington chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, a person needs to have spent a quarter-century in the business of entertaining local TV audiences.Around these parts, few fit that bill better than Rhea Feikin, who's spent nearly four decades on Baltimore television, first as a kids' show host and weatherperson on WBAL, Channel 11, then as a frequent on-air presence on MPT.Only thing is, she's a little uneasy about acknowledging that this brands her as a sort of elder statesman.

Business leaders and Carroll residents will be invited to serve on two new panels advising the county school system, Superintendent William H.

The new crossing guard in Taneytown took the job "to keep children safe."Dianna Fowler, 34, called herself "an overprotective mother" who wants to make sure all the children in town reach Taneytown Elementary and Northwest Middle schools safely.Ms. Fowler, mother of two elementary school children, dons her orange vest and stands at the intersection of East Baltimore Street and Baumgardner Avenue two hours a day -- 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and again from 3 p.m. until 4 p.m."There is a lot of traffic through town, especially in the morning," she said.

Did anyone notice a somewhat befuddled looking gentleman and his two sons wandering around Glen Burnie looking for my Christmas gift? No? Well then, did anyone, perhaps, notice this same gentleman, offspring in tow, sneaking in to see "Candyman" when he was supposed to be out wandering around Glen Burnie looking for my Christmas gift?I thought so.This could possibly mean yet another holiday when, as I open my present -- odds are running good for a small teddy bear sitting in a coffee mug holding a balloon that reads "#1 Mom" -- the scent of a 7-Eleven Big Bite with chili clings to his little teddy bear hat.I'm not a difficult person to please.

West Middle School in Westminster will celebrate its 25th year as a middle school during the 1995-1996 school year.When the school was built in 1958, it was called Westminster Junior High School.
