Rufus Caple, a member of her church, with the idea of obtaining volunteers from the Black State Troopers Coalition to help parents do the work.

MICANOPY, Fla. -- At this year's Rosewood Family Reunion, there was everything big get-togethers usually have -- a Saturday picnic, a big Sunday dinner, kissing babies born since the last reunion, hand-shaking and picture-taking and the exchanging of addresses.But there was a different feeling here among the families who held the attention of the Florida Legislature and much of the country earlier this year with their memories of a peaceful all-black town destroyed by a white mob looking for a black man accused of attacking a white woman.

If Gregory Lamont Howard hadn't leaned over and looked in the barely opened window of a car full of cheated and angry drug customers on Jan. 28, 1993, his life might not have been cut short by a 12-gauge shotgun.After all, Timothy Cumberland, the 23-year-old man whose girlfriend had just spent $40 on a bag of bogus crack, had already been persuaded to get himself and the shotgun he was wielding back into the car, according to testimony at Mr. Cumberland's murder trial yesterday."The defendant was getting inside the car," Keith Edward Goins, a Westminster man who acknowledged on the stand that he has sold drugs along South Center Street, testified yesterday.

Gary Williams said after Saturday's scrimmage that the play of sophomores Braxton Dupree and Jerome Burney, and possibly freshman Steve Goins, will be a key part of Maryland's development. Dupree remains an enigma. As impressed as I was in how he transformed his body during the offseason, losing some 25 pounds, there is still something missing in terms of toughness and heart. Burney plays harder than Dupree, but he still doesn't look like he has much of an offensive game to be a factor.

The big story last week came from TurtleSportsReport.com, which broke the news of Chicago center Steve Goins' "semi-official" commitment to Maryland.

I'll qualify next week, and then it will be official and I'll be all set," Goins said. "I always hear about Maryland, and they're in a great conference. I visited last month and saw they also offer a lot in terms of academics and their art program, which is what I want to major in."

Words have the power to do many things. At Ellicott Mills Middle School in Ellicott City, Principal Michael Goins wants to make sure they don't hurt anyone. Goins instituted a "no put-down" policy two years ago, the goal of which is to teach pupils to use words that are respectful, encouraging and supportive of one another. "The main point of this is that we are one school, one community. We believe words make our world," he said. "We can deliberately choose words that encourage, engage or enrich people lives."

Aida Jones-Goins said she was curious when she saw a shiny red van with a large red bow pull onto her street in Columbia last week. She thought a neighbor's husband had bought his wife a gift.

Television host Kelly Ripa had arrived at Jones-Goins' Hickory Ridge townhouse with a Mother's Day surprise: Jones-Goins was a winner in a contest sponsored by the morning talk show Live with Regis and Kelly.
