For nearly 98 minutes, top-ranked McDonogh pushed forward and attacked second-ranked Mount St. Joseph only to have Gaels goalie Brad Benzing keep the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference opener scoreless. The Eagles, however, finally broke through with two minutes left in the second overtime when Jeremy Kirkwood collected a long clear, pushed the ball around his defender and found the middle of the goal after Benzing came off his line and made the initial save. With the 1-0 victory, the Eagles have won 32 consecutive conference games.

Ranger Jerry Kirkwood slowly treads a wooded trail until he's close -- but not too close. Ignoring the mosquitoes, he stands still and silent. Watching. Sniffing.And then moving. He scampers across boulders that line the Big Gunpowder Falls to arrest three people passing a marijuana joint -- and turns a popularly held image on its side."The majority of people, when they think of a park ranger, they think of Yogi Bear," Kirkwood says. "They don't think of saving lives or arresting folks."The drug bust may not be a scene out of Jellystone Park, but it's the reality of a steamy summer Sunday in Gunpowder Falls State Park.

Music history is filled with composers who methodically followed the rules - this chord can't follow that chord, this type of theme must be balanced by that type of theme, this structure must be built only that way. Such by-the-book types typically wind up relegated to footnotes, leaving the spotlight on the composers who recognized the occasional need to bend, break or simply ignore the rules. On Sunday night at An die Musik, Peter Minkler, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's acting assistant principal violist, and Lura Johnson, a fine pianist based in the area, gave a rewarding recital packed with works by an impressive assortment of rule-flouters.
