Perry Hall

Regarding Jeremy Miller's letter "Disgusted by players - and principal - at Perry Hall" (Nov. 8) about the decision to allow the Perry Hall boys soccer team to continue its season after the "Bernie dance" incident that some parents complained was lewd, here is some advice about good sportsmanship: Your team lost, and you also lost the argument to end the Perry Hall boys soccer season. Let it go. You are now 0-2. It's time to be a good sport, move on and get them next time.

On Friday, the junior won the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference individual tennis title, beating McDonogh's Jake Gober, 6-3, 6-1. That performance came after Portner won at No.1 singles and No.1 doubles in leading the Gaels to their first team tennis championship since 1984, when they played in the Maryland Scholastic Association. Portner is a lefty who hits a heavy ball with lots of topspin, and he's smart on and off the court. He carries a 4.0 GPA and is in contact with Ivy League schools.

Skeletal remains were found in a wooded area in Perry Hall about a week ago, Baltimore County Police say. According to authorities, a construction worker was in the 10700 block of Philadelphia Road on Jan. 22 when he found the body and called police. The remains were found with tan work-style boots, a green button-down shirt, dark pants and a New York Yankees baseball hat. An autopsy determined that the man was between 40 and 60 years old and 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet 1 inches tall, possibly with few teeth.

A suspected intruder was shot and killed in a Perry Hall home Sunday morning after he was confronted by a resident with a gun, police said. According to Baltimore County Police, officers responded to the shooting at 5:46 a.m. in the 4200 block of Chapel Road. Police officers said the suspected intruder, a 29-year-old male, had entered the home brandishing a firearm and was confronted by a male resident, who also had a gun and shot the intruder in the chest.

Maryland-based Giant Food says it will be moving into a Perry Hall shopping center at Belair Road and Hannon Court. Construction workers are now turning a 57,000-square-foot retail site, formerly occupied by Super Fresh, into a Giant Food store. The new store will open later this year. Earlier this year, Giant acquired and converted two stores in Baltimore in Parkville.

Way back in October we started hearing about a Gino's Burgers & Chicken coming to Perry Hall. This Gino's would be operated by a different group of franchisees than the group that runs the Gino's in Towson, which was the first Md. location in the comeback franchise. We are waiting for confirmation, but Gino's Burger and Chicken , the food service retailer based in King of Prussia, Pa., is confident enough about a Perry Hall location to include it on its website 's "coming soon" section.

No coach leads his team into the playoffs amid more twists of fate than Perry Hall football coach Keith Robinson. First, the Gators needed a little help just to make the Class 4A North regional playoffs. After Hereford upset the Gators last week, 34-31 in overtime, they ended up with the fourth-seeded spot only because a Westminster forfeit eliminated the Owls. Now, in Friday night's semifinal at Poly, Robinson will face his mentor, Roger Wrenn, for the first time. As if that weren't enough, a Perry Hall win would mean that Robinson ends Wrenn's career, because the Engineers' coach will retire at the end of the season after 40 years of coaching in Baltimore City.

The Sun finally got one thing right: A special session of the Maryland legislature is needed - but not for the reasons stated in your editorial ("Twice as nice?" April 25). King Marty and his clown princes, Mike and Michael, need to reverse the shell game they've been playing with their subjects for the last several years. Every year, the king raises taxes to fund "shortages" in, alternately, the education, transportation and public safety budgets. Then, when the peasants are not looking, they shift the money to the special interests - satisfying their big-time donors - and to failed social programs.

It is difficult to fault the "doomsday" budget and support yearly budget increases for higher education when we hear stories about overpaid professors who only teach a couple of hours a day and take paid sabbaticals every three years. We also can't forget the million-dollar coaching salaries and all the sports revenues that have nothing to do with education. Revenues from higher taxes are not trickling down to benefit the students. The solution is to curb spending. Dan Griffin, Perry Hall
