Wow! One hundred percent across the board! That is what Rodgers Forge Elementary School Principal Missy Fanshaw saw when she pulled up the results of the Maryland State Assessment Test. As she told the Towson Times, "I thought 'does this say what I think it says?' It's 100, 100, 100. How exciting!" Rodgers Forge was the only Baltimore County school to achieve 100 percent proficiency for each grade level tested - three, four and five - on the Maryland State Assessment Test. Rodgers Forge is known for its strong academic standing, which is, as Fanshaw, points out "a team effort.

Rodgers Forge Elementary School Principal Missy Fanshaw has seen her fair share of triumph this summer. Her son, Patrick, is a junior attackman on Loyola University's national champion lacrosse team. Andrew, her middle son, helped Calvert Hall to an MIAA lacrosse championship this spring, and youngest son Michael won the MYLA championship with his Kelly Post youth lacrosse team. Now Fanshaw, who took over as principal at Rodgers Forge in January after Susan Deise retired late last year, can add a sterling achievement of her own to the mantel.

At Shipley's Choice Elementary— one of the highest-achieving schools in the Baltimore region — the important state test is almost not relevant to what is going on in the classroom anymore. "I believe the [Maryland School Assessment] is not a great challenge for the boys and girls at Shipley. Their ability levels are higher than MSA," said Principal Rocco Ferretti. "We are not drilling the skills. ... Our boys and girls are doing things that don't look anything like the test.

For decades, Liverpool soccer fans at the team's 120-year-old stadium, Anfield, have been singing their adopted anthem, "You'll Never Walk Alone. " Brendan Rodgers, who was named the team's new manager June 1, is hoping that the partisans of the former English Premier League power stay true to the words that were penned nearly 70 years ago by the legendary songwriter Oscar Hammerstein. Rodgers and "The Reds," as Liverpool is known because of the color of its home jerseys, will start walking together during a summer U.S tour, including a friendly against rival Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur, on July 28 at M&T Bank Stadium.

An 81-year-old Rodgers Forge woman was subject to threats last week from a man who claimed she had won $5.6 million - then later threatened to burn down her house, according to a police report. Police said that between 3 and 3:40 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, a man called the woman's home and told her she had won a $5.6 million prize. The woman declined and hung up, but the man called back multiple times. Eventually, the woman's son answered the phone, and the caller changed his story - he demanded that $10,000 be delivered to Dunkirk Road by 4 p.m. or he would kill the woman and her son and burn their house down.

Someone once described the ambition of getting a novel published as "a slender keyhole through which few have passed. " Rodgers Forge resident Eric Goodman has passed through that keyhole, and has found rewards on the other side - on Monday, June 4, he was in New York picking up the 2012 Gold Medal for Best Fiction in the Mid-Atlantic Region in the Independent Publishers Book Awards for his book, "Tracks: A Novel in Stories. " Goodman, 41, wrote his first short story when he was in third grade, and hasn't stopped since.
