Corinne

It was the weekend he planned to ask her to marry him. They were going to spend time together with their parents, and, when he got his chance, Andrew Roccella hoped to take Corinne Schillings' father aside and ask for his daughter's hand. Then, when the time was right, Andrew would ask Corinne, a native of Homewood, Ill., a question she wanted to say yes to, that she talked about with her friends at work all the time. "This is a tragic love story," said her aunt, Gayle Krek. "What Corinne didn't know was he had just purchased a diamond ring."

WHEN YOU READ about drug busts in Westminster, or watch some of the scary exchanges on the street, it's tempting to conclude that life in this small town is losing its charm.However, the Westminster Business Association continues to draw our attention to the good things downtown has to offer -- good food, unusual shops, art galleries and pleasant company.Last month's Fallfest activities included "Midnight Madness," an evening of late-night shopping, music and dancing.This month, WBA's campaign for downtown charm continues with the third annual Fall Progressive Dinner beginning at 5 p.m. Oct. 24.The goal of the dinner is to highlight the strengths of downtown Westminster while benefiting a local charity.

* Corinne Weigand, South River -- Weigand came to South River after three seasons as an assistant at Annapolis, and she inherited a team that had gone 6-11 the previous spring and hadn't been to the state playoffs in eight years. The Seahawks lacked pitching depth. Some key positions were being manned by sophomores. The older players hadn't shown they could lead the program beyond mediocrity. Yet, South River won 13 games and was the lone county representative at the state tournament. The Seahawks put up a valiant fight before succumbing to Atholton, 4-1, in the 2A semifinals -- not bad for a team expected to go nowhere.

Our holiday images are outdated: Let's face it, who among us --es through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh?Rather it's --ing through the malls, with a charge card in my hand, o'er the bills we go, buying all the way.So I propose some new images and traditions: First, let's all decorate our cars. Yes, little Christmas trees on the --board, holly on the wiper blades, wreaths around the tire wells.After all, that's where we really spend the holidays, traveling from relative to friend to home, stuck in a traffic jam somewhere on I-95.

Boston. -- Spare me the Quayle jokes. This story is not small potatoes. The vice president spoke from his heart and had his head handed to him.Last week, Dan Quayle was asked what he would do if his daughter came to him as a pregnant adult. He said, ''I would counsel her and talk to her and support her on whatever decision she made.'' For once he sounded like a father instead of a candidate with a politically correct right-to-life tape on automatic replay.But he also sounded like a counselor at a Planned Parenthood clinic, a notion that had the whole country smirking.
