Player of the YearLisa Chapman, Centennial, senior, setter: The setter for three straight state championship teams, Chapman has established herself as one of the best. "She makes a bad pass look good," said Centennial coach Mike Bossom. "She makes everything look so easy. She never panics." The Eagles graduated seven players from last year's 20-0 team, and Chapman had to lead a young and inexperienced team. "This year she really helped keep the team together and focused," Bossom said. "They were able to work though difficult situations because of her experience and calm leadership on the court."

Player of the YearGreichaly Cepero, McDonogh, senior, setter: A transfer from Puerto Rico, Cepero was widey considered one of the best ever to play high school volleyball in this area.

The Eagles certainly benefitted from her exceptional skills and her extensive experience.

For many, Bob Chance has been the face of ecology in Harford County. He taught earth science during a three-decade run in the public schools - and was named to the school system's Hall of Fame. He promoted recycling long before the government got involved. He wrote a nature column for the local paper, won election to public office, and showed countless youngsters the wonders of the great outdoors as Ranger Bob. And now he is, at 62, a defendant in a drug case. Authorities say he has been growing marijuana at the farm where he raises and sells Christmas trees.

Surrounded by dozens of law enforcement officers from the county's three municipalities, Bel Air Town Commissioner Terry Hanley made a plea to the County Council for equal pay for the officers. Town officers, who often support their county and state counterparts in police work throughout Harford, make 15 percent to 42 percent less than sheriff's deputies and Maryland State Police while doing the same job and undergoing the same training, Hanley said. The county relies on a 30-year-old financial formula to help fund the municipal police departments, which include Aberdeen, Bel Air and Havre de Grace.

Seeking the chance to take on issues such as growth, traffic and the disruption caused by roadwork along Main Street, seven candidates are on the ballot for Bel Air's biennial election. They are actively posting signs, mailing fliers, making calls and going door to door. Mayor Terence O. Hanley is stumping from a tractor-drawn hay wagon carrying volunteers through town streets this weekend. "We need to keep Bel Air alive and growing," said Edward Hopkins III, who has managed campaigns for others and is now running his own. "I think we all have a single-minded purpose to do what is right for this community."

Terry Hanley is fond of his cottage on the water, a cozy four-bedroom house surrounded by soaring oaks and maples tucked into the bank of Broad Creek. "They are Harford County's best secret treasures," said Hanley, who lives year-round in Bel Air but spends many weekends with his family at the cottage, one of about 170 along the shores of Broad Creek and the Susquehanna River. But Hanley's getaway and the other cottages, some that have been on the water for more than 60 years, face an uncertain future as the county begins what an official called one of the largest home inspection efforts in Harford history.

Voters in Bel Air will go to the polls Nov. 6 to pick representatives to the Board of Town Commissioners. The filing deadline was 7 p.m. Friday, with three of the five seats contested.

McMahan was elected to the County Council) Edward Hopkins John W. Janowich Richard R. Davis Patrick T. Richards James Decker Incumbent Joan Morrisey Ward is not seeking re-election

The last thing South Carroll High School teacher Mary Lou Hanley had expected to see on the paper-plate platter painted silver was a papier-mache roasted pig with the head of junior Michael Naugle, an apple stuffed in his mouth. So, naturally, she shrieked. "Oh, you totally freaked me out," Hanley said, to the delight of Naugle and fellow students Vincent Frasco, Tommy Michie and Ian Rhoades, who sat with her at a small table, complete with place setting, salt and pepper shakers and a candle with a paper flame.
