The firefighter who reported finding a knotted rope and a drawing of a noose in an East Baltimore station house is in the process of being fired for unrelated issues, Fire Department officials said yesterday. Donald Maynard, a six-year veteran who reported the discoveries, acknowledged last week that he was the one who brought the items into the station house. Even before that admission, Maynard, who is black, had been suspended without pay for failing to complete emergency medical technician-intermediate training or making any plans to do so, said Roman Clark, a department spokesman.

YESTERDAY been weeping if it had any heart, Caroly Maynard peered deep into the ruins of the Clipper Industrial Park and looked for glimpses of her vanished past.It was in there somewhere, but God knew where. It was in there with the ashen remains of all of the artists' studios and the little businesses and the sense of history wiped out in the devastating fire of Saturday night and Sunday morning. Yesterday, it looked like London after the blitz.There were steel beams jutting into the air, which seemed connected to nothing.

The Historic Annapolis Foundation has undertaken a big and costly project: It involves practically rebuilding the crumbling Maynard-Burgess House, a shingled, wood-frame structure across the street from Annapolis City Hall that is believed to be the first home in Maryland's capital owned by a free black man.Like all restoration jobs, this one is likely to be unpredictable. As owners of old houses know, repairing one problem usually leads to the detection of others. And the Maynard-Burgess House has some very serious problems.

Maryland's top corrections official plans to testify today before a Senate committee in support of federal legislation that would make signal-jamming technology legal for use in the country's prisons, where contraband cell phones have become a deadly - and growing - problem. "We know we are finding more [phones] now, and we think we're keeping more out, but we really don't have a real picture of how many are currently in the system and being used," said Gary D. Maynard, secretary of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Corrections.

Two years ago, state Corrections Secretary Gary D. Maynard gave prison and local police officials a simple task: draw up lists of the most violent gang members being held in state custody. With the House of Correction set to be shuttered, the worst of the worst would be transported to out-of-state facilities. The agencies submitted a total of 220 names, but to Maynard's surprise, only eight appeared on more than one list. The prisons didn't know who the police thought were most dangerous, and the police departments weren't sharing the information with each other, either.

A tree grows in Hurlock. And while this is not a tale of lost innocence as recounted in a New York borough by novelist Betty Smith, self-improvement and redemption do figure in this account. Improving the world in which we live and giving back - that's how Maryland Public Safety Secretary Gary D. Maynard would describe his inmate-staffed conservation corps that is planting trees and seedlings across Maryland. At last count, they had planted about 11,567 trees, including 1,650 in Hurlock.

Oh, Donald Maynard, what hath thou wrought? Maynard is a black firefighter-paramedic apprentice with the Baltimore Fire Department, but he won't be for long. He's been suspended, pending termination. On Nov. 21, Maynard walked into the Herman Williams Jr. fire station at East 25th Street and Kirk Ave. and showed a noose and a note he said he had found. The note read: "We cant hang the cheaters but we can hang the failures. NO EMT-1, NO JOB." The word "cheaters" and the phrase "NO EMT-1, NO JOB" referred to a controversy within the department.

A spate of hanging nooses is being reported all over the country. This is creating an environment that has encouraged at least one black man to hang his own noose and place the blame on white co-workers. Donald Maynard, a Baltimore firefighter and paramedic, confessed to hanging a noose found last month in the fire station where he worked. Even though his report sparked a federal investigation and public outcry, Mr. Maynard will not face criminal charges for filing a false report. We will never be able to quantify the damage that Mr. Maynard's action did to race relations at his job and in the wider community.
