A female private involved in the sexual misconduct scandal at Aberdeen Proving Ground said yesterday that Army investigators pressured her into falsely claiming she had sex with a drill sergeant -- and that she now faces a court-martial for recanting.Pvt. Toni Moreland, 21, of St. Louis says she faces prosecution for signing a false statement alleging she had consensual sex with an instructor at the Ordnance Center and School. She says officials forced her to make the statement while investigating allegations that the sergeant had raped her."

Army officials yesterday dropped charges against a female private that she lied to military investigators when she swore she had consensual sex with a drill sergeant at Aberdeen Proving Ground, then recanted the charge 10 days later.Pvt. Toni Moreland, who last month accused Army investigators of trying to coerce false rape allegations against male soldiers, is the only female defendant to face court-martial at Aberdeen on charges related to the sexual misconduct case.Moreland pleaded guilty to five unrelated minor offenses during the summary court-martial.

Life should be sweet for Toni Moreland.She is weeks away from delivering her first child and is back home in Illinois with the family she loves.But Moreland, 21, the only woman to face court-martial on charges related to the sexual misconduct at Aberdeen Proving Ground, has not broken free of the year-old scandal. She says she cannot shake grim memories of her military life, the pressure to cry rape and the burden of knowing she lied about having sex with a man she barely knows.Now she's out of the Army, and out of a job."

The last thing Chad Moreland expected to be doing after college was running a pizza delivery business and carryout restaurant in Finksburg.But when the criminal justice major realized he had graduated from the University of Maryland at College Park just in time to see his dream of joining the U.S. Secret Service delayed by a government hiring freeze, he looked around for other options.His best option turned out to be at the old Spangler Fruit Market building on Route 140. At that location, he thought, he could open a carryout restaurant -- Pizza, Wings and More -- to provide Finksburg, Gamber and Reese residents with something they didn't have -- pizza delivery.

The Baltimore Arena's latest electrical problem, whic occurred Saturday night during the fourth quarter of the Washington Bullets' game with the Detroit Pistons, was apparently a new one: a transponder that short-circuited a bank of lights on the west end of the building."

Ali Moreland, South River Sport Basketball GIRLS STATS -- An outstanding three-sport athlete, Moreland plans to play basketball in college. The 5-foot-8 guard, who also plays soccer and lacrosse, is averaging 10 points and five rebounds for the Seahawks. Moreland, who is a captain in basketball and lacrosse, scored 12 points before leaving with a concussion in the fourth quarter as South River ended Old Mill's 10-game winning streak last week, 58-46. SIDELINES -- Moreland, the daughter of former Washington Bullets and UMBC player Rick Moreland, is playing her third and final varsity season because she will graduate a year early.

MINDFUL THAT HER South River team had seen a 15-point lead over Thomas Johnson shrink to three, sophomore guard Ali Moreland stalked the area in front of the Seahawks' bench with her head down, a slight limp from a twisted left ankle and a grim look right off one of those guys atop Mount Rushmore. Just then, her father, Rick, made one of those goofy faces dads make to embarrass their teenage kids in public and remind them that even when you're trying to win a state championship, you have to remember to lighten up, to have a little fun, to smile.
