Manzoni's goal came early in the second half, as Dulaney worked hard to keep the pressure on Towson's defense. “I was inspired to score,” Banister said.

A Dulaney High School student was arrested yesterday after the discovery of a bottle containing chemicals prompted an evacuation of the Cockeysville school, county police said. The student, who had not been charged by yesterday evening, was questioned after a teacher found the bottle in a second-floor boys bathroom - the second instance in nine days that a container filled with a suspicious liquid forced students from a Baltimore County school.

Frostburg State athletic director Loyal Park expects to be swamped with applications for the football coaching position that was vacated when Dennis Riccio moved to St. Lawrence (N.Y.) after five years with the Bobcats.The university wants to name a new coach by May 1. In the interim, the Bobcats' program will be under the direction of assistant coach Paul Barnes, who played for Dulaney High in the mid-1970s and then at James Madison. Barnes had much to do with recruiting the talent from central Maryland that allowed Frostburg State to go 26-6 over the past three seasons.

Kelly Smith's SAT prep course at Dulaney High School was cut short yesterday so her class could go to the auditorium for an assembly. The language she used to express her shock upon learning she'd won $25,000 and a national teaching award would have fit nicely on her students' vocabulary lists. "I started to swoon," she said later. "That's an English-teacher word," said Elaine Berry, a school system curriculum coordinator, who was standing nearby. Local and state officials used the words "passionate" and "energetic" to praise Smith, who serves as the English Department chairwoman at Dulaney High.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland is calling for the Baltimore County school system to back away from punishment imposed against athletes at Dulaney High School for attending a party where dozens of citations for underage drinking were issued. In a letter sent yesterday to Superintendent Joe A. Hairston, the ACLU says the school policy prohibiting athletes from attending parties where underage drinking or drug use takes place, whether they use the substances or not, violates state law. "The question is who gets to be the parent, the parent or the school officials," said David Rocah, the ACLU attorney who signed the letter.

Marine Lance Cpl. David M. Branning, who was raised by pacifist parents in the Baltimore area, was named by the Pentagon yesterday as the 16th Marylander to die in the fighting in Iraq.

The Cockeysville resident was a member of the Hawaii-based 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force.

One of the physics classes at Dulaney High School has been working all year on theories of gravity, motion, force and acceleration, which has led to this question: How far can they hurl a softball? For the past two weeks, the class has been designing and building their versions of a medieval weapon called the trebuchet (pronounced TREH-buh-SHAY) for an end-of-year competition that is quickly becoming a popular tradition with the students. The trebuchet, a cousin of the catapult, is designed for throwing objects great distances.

Elizabeth Amrhein and Connelly Doan studied music for four years at Dulaney High School, and probably figured that their time at the Timonium school was over. But they were back on the stage of the Dulaney auditorium last week, this time as members of the Gettysburg College Symphony Orchestra. "I enjoyed playing music here for four years, and coming back on the same stage was exciting and made me remember some of the things that I got to experience while I was here," said Doan, a percussionist and resident of Baldwin.

On Thursday, Jan.19, Gettysburg College Symphony Orchestra will visit both Towson High School and Dulaney High School to conduct a clinic and concert with each school. The visit and clinics were arranged by former Dulaney High student Elizabeth Amrhein, a graduate of the Class of 2008. Amrhein, a bassoonist with the Gettysburg College Symphony Orchestra, is a member of Gettyburg's Class of 2012. Another Dulaney graduate, Connelly Doan, is also a member of the Gettysburg orchestra, performing as a percussionist.

When Jessica Hill was in preschool, her grandmother would pick her up every day after school. On Fridays, they would go to the mall and see a movie. Now a junior at Dulaney High School, 16-year-old Jessica still spends time with her grandmother, Betty Kessler, 77, often sharing pizza and playing cards. "She loves pizza, and she loves to play cards," said Jessica, a Lutherville resident. "She loved to play Gin Rummy. Now we play War or Go Fish with guidance. " Hill's grandmother was diagnosed with vascular dementia about seven years ago and her memory has steadily diminished.

The year Dulaney High School senior Matt Ammlung turned 16, he became the proud owner of his first car -- a black Acura Integra. Ditto for his friend, Taylor Rupp, who got a maroon Honda Accord, and Andy Rudell, owner of a green Honda Passport. For those not in the know, turning 16 and getting your own set of wheels is practically a rite of passage at Dulaney High. And that, say neighbors, is part of the problem. The Timonium school has too many cars and too few parking spaces. Nearly every inch of curb space in the neighborhood is crammed with Cherokees, Acuras and Mercedes Benzes.

Sue Duling probably never realized that she could get so much joy out of what was once a broken-down pre-Civil War farmhouse. "It's so beautiful and so quiet ... I just can't believe I live here," Duling said. Duling and her husband, David Papke, have spent the past 14 months renovating their property, which sits on five acres in Stewartstown, Pa. Papke began to purchase the property 3 1/2 years ago when it was part of a 119-acre parcel that was being subdivided. The lengthy process was well worth the wait, say the couple.
