Like most people involved in motor sports, Robert "Bones" Harvey has made auto racing a part of his life since he was a teen-ager.Starting as an errand boy on his brother Tim's car, Harvey has done everything there is to do in late-model racing.

Around two years ago, Robin and John Kable moved into the city of Westminster from their home in northwest Carroll County.Dr. Kable, a 41-year-old veterinarian who grew up in Westminster, and Mrs. Kable, 39, wanted to live "in town." So with their four children, ranging in age from 4 to 9, they moved to a three-story stone house in the downtown area of Westminster."We wanted to move to Westminster for the convenience and for the neighborhood atmosphere," Mrs. Kable said. "We have a larger home that is better built and the kids are really having fun being able to walk to the library and in town to all the activities that go on throughout the year."

At the start of Cockpit in Court's production of "Twelfth Night," director Robert Stoltzfus seems to be up to something clever. A two-dimensional, cartoonlike ship moves across the back of the stage to suggest the shipwreck that landed Viola in the imaginary town of Illyria.When we meet Orsino, duke of Illyria, in the next scene (thedirector has flip-flopped the opening two scenes), he is taking a bath -- in a two-dimensional, cartoonlike bathtub. Designer James J. Fasching's costumes hail from the 1920s, and the songs sung by Feste, the clown, are set to the music of George Gershwin.
