Voters in Baltimore's suburbs have not always been kind to African-American Circuit Court judges, so the election this week of Angela M. Eaves in Harford County was a most welcome outcome. Ms. Eaves, 48, a District Court judge who earned high marks in local bar and judicial nominating reviews, was appointed to the county Circuit Court last fall. Voters elected her to a full 15-year term Tuesday - despite some injudicious partisan politics. What occurred during the campaign was reminiscent of what happened to Judge Rodney C. Warren in Anne Arundel County in 2004.

Harford County's newest judge - who is also the first woman and first African-American on the Circuit Court bench there - was leading in early returns last night as she sought to be elected to a full term or at least advance to the general election. Circuit Judge Angela M. Eaves, who was appointed in December, took a commanding early lead in the Democratic primary and held a slim advantage in the Republican race, with about a third of precincts reporting. Eaves would have to win the Democratic and Republican primaries to win a 15-year term on the bench.

The newest judge to be appointed to the Circuit Court for Harford County is also its first woman and first African-American. Angela M. Eaves, 48, a county resident for nearly 20 years who has served as District Court judge since 2000, said she believes diversity on the bench "ensures justice is fair." She will replaceretiring Judge Maurice W. Baldwin Jr. and expects to be working in her new job by the end of the month. How long she sits on the bench depends on the outcome of Maryland's Feb. 12 primary.

Angela Eaves began her legal career in Maryland by defending the underdog. As a lawyer for the Legal Aid Bureau in Harford County, Eaves represented tenants facing eviction, women fighting for child support and indigent families denied public assistance. When she is sworn in today as a Harford County District Court judge, Eaves -- known for her sensitivity to people battered by life -- will become the county's first African-American judge. "I think she'll listen to people, and I'm excited about her taking the bench," said Dorsey Berndt, chief attorney for the Northeast Office of the Legal Aid Bureau, which represents indigent clients in Harford and Cecil counties.

NEW MIDWAY -- Glenn Eaves stood gazing yesterday as snow fell through a hole the size of a football field in the roof of his new dairy barn -- a building designed to withstand heavy snow.Outside, workers with front-end loaders removed debris. Others dragged the remains of more than 200 Holstein cows killed early Monday morning when the roof of the 600-foot-long barn gave way under a record 40 inches of snow."We can contend with the storms, but I've never seen anything like" this, said Mr. Eaves, 60, who runs one of the largest dairy farms in Maryland.

Five months ago Christopher Eaves began work on a movement theater piece called "Birthmarks," about an adoptee's search for his birth parents. An adoptee himself, Mr. Eaves wasn't reunited with his own birth parents until several months ,, later, but their story turned out to be remarkably close to the drama he was creating.When "Birthmarks" debuts Monday and Tuesday at Mr. Eaves' VTC alma mater, Towson State University, his birth parents and his adoptive parents are expected to attend. The show is one of two premieres for 23-year-old Mr. Eaves; another work, "Class," opens at Towson tomorrow as part of "Cross Currents," a program celebrating the inauguration of the theater department's movement theater discipline.

Ice and snow pulled the rain gutter off one side of our roof after the heavy snow we had recently. What can be done to prevent a recurrence? Quite a few houses lost gutters to the recent ice and snow. A slate-roofer friend tells me he is swamped with gutter repair calls. Most fallen gutters are brought down by the weight of ice that accumulates in them and above them. Extended periods of freezing temperatures while roofs are snow covered is a formula for heavy ice build-up - snow melts off relatively warm roof surfaces, then refreezes when it reaches the gutters and eaves.

THE BIRD Boy ascends the stage on shiny white and silver wings. As he softly lands amid a cluster of chorusing women, he finds himself in an alien environment where he resembles no one.In a desperate search for his own kind, he experiences a series of comical and tragic misadventures that at last lead him to the mother who abandoned him at birth.This is the surreal framework for ''Birthmarks,'' an autobiographical movement piece written and performed by Christopher Eaves."It is a spiritual experience for me," said Eaves recently during a rehearsal break at the college.

It's the middle of February, and for those of us with cabin fever, the thought of spring and its blooming flowers are all that keep us going. From now until the time we can put our hands in the garden dirt and plant the first primroses or pansies, many of us are dreaming about sunny days spent outdoors.Members of the Eaves family of Sunnybank Farm don't have to wait -- they're already working around the clock in 13 greenhouses, cultivating thousands of geraniums, pansies, impatiens, market packs of annuals of all kinds, and countless perennials.
