Jim Gilbert of East New Market writes: I live on the Choptank River, and this time of year we catch a lot of 12- to 14-inch rockfish. Almost all the fish have some sort of lice-type creature in each gill. My question is, should I remove the parasite and let the fish go or should I just let them go as is, parasite and all? Rudy Lukacovic, a state fisheries biologist, replies: Depending upon the size, it could either be Ergasilus or Lironeca ovalis. Argulus, [or fish lice], is usually found on the body, not the gills.

The letter starts off ordinarily enough, with a typical salutation in the form of "Dear Mr. Gilbert." But its next sentence is set off in boldface type as its own paragraph: "Congratulations, you are pre-approved for a Home Equity Line of Credit." It's not jarring to you, I suppose. You don't see a thing appalling or outrageous about this letter. Perhaps you, like the officer of the bank who signed the letter, believe that Mr. Gilbert is qualified for a home equity line of credit. Let me let you in on a little secret.

Dr. Ira Gilbert Zepp, a social activist and influential professor of religious studies at what is now McDaniel College who had inspired generations of students to devote their lives to civil rights, peace and social justice, died of congestive heart failure Saturday at his Westminster home. He was 79. "Ira will be deeply missed and long remembered by everyone in our college family," McDaniel President Joan Develin Coley said Monday in a statement. "Ira was a gifted and devoted teacher, a true humanitarian who gave unselfishly of himself to make this world a better place for all," Dr. Coley said.

A federal jury on Wednesday failed to agree on a death sentence, sparing the lives of two convicted killers and showing them the mercy that they denied their victims. Melvin Gilbert, 34, and James Dinkins, 36, were each sentenced to multiple life terms. They were convicted last month of running a vast drug operation known as "Special" in Northeast Baltimore and murdering three men, including two people they thought were law enforcement cooperators - "rats," according to Gilbert. U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz promised that the co-defendants and "the poison that they brought" would never again "be anywhere close to Baltimore."
