Severna Park gymnastics coach Bonnie Habicht knew only one thing was stopping Jesse Whyte from reaching his potential last year.Jesse Whyte."His problem was confidence more than anything," Habicht said of Whyte, 15, now a sophomore at Severna Park. "He was so much in awe of [Annapolis'] Jason Hill and Dominic Boardley and Peter Lombard. This year, they were out of the competitions, and as the season progressed, he became more and more confident in himself."Habicht's top female gymnast, senior Tracie Miller, had a different obstacle to overcome -- injuries.

For decades, the 96-year-old Baltimore County company has made springs used by manufacturers in everything from bottling machines to poultry processing equipment, and for military and aerospace uses.

No matter what happens in the Maryland legislature, household electricity rates are bound to soar this summer. It's only a question of how high. Businesses, however, have been dealing with this deregulated electricity market for more than a year. Few if any companies have been nailed with the 72 percent increase that residential customers face. But the way that corporations have responded, by a combination of deal-shopping and lower consumption, gives a preview of what many households will be doing from now on. It shows that they're not completely powerless in the brave new electricity world.

A lot is expected from sixth-graders entering their first year of middle school in Anne Arundel County. As the 11- and 12-year-olds are struggling to make the often-traumatic leap from childhood to early teen-age status, they're expected to behave like little adults: organized, independent and socially correct. To help with this complicated transition and to calm the middle school jitters, each of the county's 16 middle schools has designed an orientation program. "It's important for kids to meet some other kids before school starts," says Bonnie Habicht, a guidance counselor who coordinates Severna Park Middle School's summer orientation workshops for incoming sixth-graders and their parents.
