Tim Young considered moving to Canton. But then the 27-year-old doctoral student looked at the Dundalk Village Center. With its park views, restored hardwood floors and stainless-steel appliances, the brick complex impressed Young. And the rent for a one-bedroom apartment - $725 - clinched the deal. "This was five minutes up the road and half the price," said Young, one of the first tenants of the renovated development off Dundalk Avenue. Work continues as part of the $4 million development of the shopping, office and apartment complex.

For the beginning of the Yorkway Apartments demolition, Catherine Kates took a day off from work and got out her American flag. She has lived in a rowhouse near the complex for more than a decade, and several years ago had a backyard birthday party for her granddaughter. But she hasn't felt safe enough to sit on the porch or open her windows since. "I feel like I've been a prisoner," she said. "I had lost all hope." As the construction crane idled yesterday, the 55-year-old told a small crowd waiting for the first bricks to crumble, "As far as I'm concerned, today is Dundalk's Independence Day."

Balto. Co. breaks ground for center 2 Baltimore County broke ground Friday on the $4.5 million Jacksonville Community Center in Phoenix. The 14,400-square-foot facility will include the Jacksonville Senior Center, serving more than 700 seniors, as well as a gymnasium, meeting rooms, and exercise and activity areas. Plans for the 32-acre property on Sweet Air Road also call for two athletic fields, a playground and a walking trail through Sweet Air Park. The center is expected to open in August.

The huge water main break that flooded Dundalk has spawned another outpouring - one of local generosity: from "Len the Plumber," who has given and installed 32 hot water heaters to replace damaged ones, to a couple who were preparing to downsize for their retirement and donated furniture and other belongings. "I told him to bring a truck and take whatever he needed," said Barbara Vallimont, referring to a man whose basement bedroom and all of its contents were destroyed in the Sept. 19 flood.

Baltimore County will operate a Recovery Service Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the Watersedge Community Center in Dundalk to assist homeowners with insurance and other problems stemming from the recent water main break.

They will interview residents and take applications in an effort to determine what government financial resources might be available.

Baltimore County public works crews continued cleanup efforts Monday throughout the Dundalk neighborhoods flooded when a major water main broke Friday and spewed the torrent into more than 100 homes. "Our focus now is on cleanup, damage assessment and restoration of utilities," said Elise Armacost, spokeswoman for the county Fire Department. About 33 homes, most of them on McShane Way, were still without power Monday, she said. County inspectors were working with the plumbers and electricians hired by residents to repair damage.

Dundalk commuters on their way to work today are expected to have few traffic difficulties despite partial closure of Broening Highway after Friday's water main break, police said Sunday. The highway will be closed for two to four weeks while repairs to the road and water main are made. The highway areas affected are from Logan Village to Interstate 695 and the highway exit from the Beltway. Detours have been set up to accommodate east- and westbound traffic across the Key Bridge, officials said.

Water gushed for hours Friday from a broken 6-foot-wide water main in Dundalk, flooding the communities of Turner Station, Logan Village and Water's Edge, swamping a shopping center, washing out a main road to the southeastern Baltimore County peninsula and stranding dozens inside and outside their homes. No injuries or deaths were immediately reported, but the Baltimore County Fire Department reported that two people were transported to the hospital with "minor complaints." Emergency crews used boats to rescue a few "people who went out in the water, which we asked them not to do," said Baltimore County Executive James T. Smith Jr. Dozens of homes were believed to have flooded basements, as water crested at heights reaching car door handles before flow stopped about 6:30 p.m., two hours after the pipe broke under a knoll between Dundalk Avenue and Broening Highway.
