Thirteen years ago Lou Gibson drove up from her Northern Virginia home to Plymouth Wallpaper in historic Catonsville. She liked what she saw, both in the large wallpaper outlet and along the winding, tree-lined streets off Frederick Road. It wasn't long after the visit that a friend recommended a real estate agent in the area. Gibson and her partner, Rick Maas, would soon become the fourth owners of a two-story cottage of cedar siding with a gently pitched roof. Built in 1916 by Victor G. Bloede, president of Patapsco Electric & Manufacturing Co. of Ellicott City and founder of the Avalon Water Works in the same area, the cottage was a gift to his daughter, Marie, and her husband, William Woollcott.

Q: I recently inherited from an elderly aunt's estate a circa-1920 diamond and sapphire ring and a diamond brooch set in platinum. Both pieces (which are quite intricate in design) look dingy and drab, not having been cared for in more than 30 years. How can I properly clean them?A: A gem of a professional jewelry cleaning kit is Maas Jewelry Systeme. It includes a jar of Maas Jewelers Bathe -- a clear liquid wash with a basket and brush inside, a separate jar of Jewelers Rouge, and a two-sided polishing and buffing Jewelers Cloth.

WITH GOOD reason, we who drive perfectly often criticize other categories of drivers, especially drunken drivers (no amount of alcohol is too little before deciding to hand the keys to someone else). But what about the sleep-deprived? Falling asleep at the wheel can have dangerous, often fatal, consequences. And sometimes sleep happens and we don't even know it. Here is an eye-opener: According to a report by the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research, drowsy drivers cause more fatalities per accident than drunken drivers.

NEW YORK -- It may not have made a difference, but on a day Jose Mesa was two pitches shy of a potential win, Johnny Oates came up short one left-hander in the bullpen.The result was a 3-1 loss to the Yankees that kept the Orioles from taking over second in the American League's Eastern Division.Except for a solo home run by Kevin Maas in the fourth inning and a double by Roberto Kelly in the eighth, Mesa was effective throughout the 7 1/3 innings he worked. But when Andy Stankiewicz, who tortured the Orioles all weekend, opened the eighth with a ground single to left, both Mesa and Oates were in trouble.

When Towson's No. 2 volleyball team needed an emotional lift in the first game of last night's Baltimore County championship against No. 5 Owings Mills, senior setter Emmy Williams provided one. The 5-foot-3 senior made a huge block against power hitter Nicole Puller to help turn the first game around and spark a 25-23, 25-15, 22-25, 25-10 victory for the Generals' third straight county volleyball title. The host Generals (14-0) had trailed almost the entire first game, but with the Eagles leading 21-19, Laura Maas pounded a kill and then Williams put the brakes on Puller's hit. "I was so excited," said Williams.
