Haskell

Picture this: You stumble across that old, dusty book buried inside a cast-off dresser in your grandmother's attic. The book belonged to a long-dead ancestor. Your grandmother says to take it, and you consider tossing it in the Goodwill box. Yet something stops you.Hmmm. Flipping it open reveals it to be a first edition, and in pretty good shape at that. Hey! This could be worth something. Or maybe not. What to do, what to do?You could try "the Book Guys."They would be Allan Stypeck and Mike Cuthbert.

For the 13th-ranked Liberty Lions, the toughest aspect of last night's Class 3A West regional quarterfinal wasn't keeping visiting Wheaton at bay. It was keeping their own composure.In a game featuring five yellow cards, one ejection and nearly 20 minutes of injury time, Liberty scored two goals in each half en route to a 4-0 win.Despite dominating play throughout, and outshooting the Knights, 23-4, the Lions had to contend with a young and sometimes frustrated Wheaton team that sometimes pushed the limits of aggressive play.

McDaniel - who was a veteran of more than 300 films made between 1931 and her death in 1952 but received screen credit for only about 80 of them - specialized in portraying domestics. Writer Patrick Giles described McDaniel in GWTW as a "proud character, stubbornly demanding what's right even from those she's supposed to be bowing to."

What was supposed to be a matchup of Harford County's premier wrestling teams quickly turned into a blowout for host Harford Tech yesterday. Harford Tech's first wrestler got pinned, but the Cobras won nine of the next 10 bouts, six by pins, and finished with a 49-19 rout of visiting Fallston. It was the fourth straight dual-meet win for Harford Tech over the Cougars (2-1 county and overall) - and by far the most dominant of the series. The Cobras' ambitious schedule includes eight teams that have been ranked by The Sun at some point already this season.
