Standing along Route 216 near Interstate 95 early one morning last week, Sen. Martin G. Madden got a chance to put his years of campaigning in Howard County to good use.Holding a warm cup of coffee in his left hand, the Republican senator from Clarksville used his right hand to wave at motorists. He wants their votes in the election Nov. 3 against Democratic challenger Raymond N. Rankin."Good morning, thank you," Madden whispers to those who wave back."This kind of campaigning doesn't cost anything but a few hours of sleep," said the senator born and raised in Prince George's County.

When Matt Rankin took over as Edgewood's girls basketball coach last November, the outlook wasn't promising."The team we started out with this year was a lot different than I Coach of the Yearhad expected," said Rankin, an assistant coach with last year's team. "My No. 1 player had a bad knee and I lost three girls to work and one to cheerleading."But Rankin, a 24-year-old math teacher at Edgewood High, quickly turned the Rams into contenders for the county title. The Baltimore Sun's Harford County Girls Basketball Coach of the Year, Rankin turned the Rams into a team-oriented squad with a balanced offense and an ever-improving defense.

Southern Baptists will go back to the future when they begin their national convention in Houston tomorrow.Fourteen years ago in Houston, the Baptists began a "holy war" that divided the nation's largest Protestant group into fundamentalist and moderate camps.The fundamentalists stunned moderates at the 1979 gathering when the Rev. Adrian Rogers of Memphis, Tenn., won the presidency from moderate candidates, who had had a hammerlock on leadership for more than a decade.It was the beginning of a series of fundamentalist victories that have left that faction in sole control of the 15.5 million-member national convention.

Oakland Mills yesterday dealt Edgewood its second loss in three days against a Howard County foe.The Scorpions (2-2) used a 21-point fourth quarter to blitz host Edgewood for a 50-27 victory.Despite the win, Oakland Mills coach Teresa Waters said her team will have to improve considerably to crack the top half of the Howard County league."In our league, the way we played today. . . . We won by 25. In Howard County it's a whole new ballgame. But that's what these games are for, to show us our weaknesses and prepare us for league play," said Waters.

THE year of the woman began not in 1992, as we have been led to believe, but in April 1917, 76 years ago, when Jeannette Rankin walked into the House of Representatives as the first woman to enter Congress.On Nov. 7, 1916, Montana elected Rankin, 36 and unmarried, to the House by a plurality of 7,567 votes. At the time, only 12 of the 48 states granted women the right to vote.On her election, pundits raged over the new American Revolution and fanned rumors about her looks and wardrobe.It was said that "the lady from Montana" packed a .44 caliber six-shooter and trimmed her skirts with chaps fur. The press called her a "slip of a girl" and wrote that she was out of her mind to step into a body made up of 434 men. She received countless marriage proposals.

CHICAGO -- When meteorologists predicted a severe winter for the Chicago area, Barry Rankin pictured cold and white.But the temperature was downright balmy yesterday for a day in mid-December, and the stuff covering Mr. Rankin's Lincolnwood home, his car and his patio wasn't white. Nor was it as pure as the driven snow.It was dark and lumpy, and it was, unfortunately, Lincolnwood's turn.Mr. Rankin and his neighbors in the north suburb apparently have become the latest victims of a rather irritating phenomenon over the past several weeks afflicting communities under O'Hare International Airport's flight paths.
