"Unbelievable" is how Patapsco's Tony Maggard described last week's four-game effort by junior third baseman Vincente Tiburzi. It was unlike any individual performance Maggard had seen in his six seasons as coach. Tiburzi sparked victories by a combined score of 72-13 over Dundalk (twice), Chesapeake and Carver A&T, helping the Patriots clinch the Baltimore County Division III title. Tiburzi went 8-for-12 with 24 RBIs, including three grand slams. Tiburzi scored 11 times and in the first win over Dundalk had seven of his 10 RBIs in one inning.

Tara Howard served meals to Baltimore's homeless every third Sunday, founded a "social justice" club during her senior year at Mount de Sales Academy, and at the age of 8 or 9, asked Santa for "Peace in the World! PLEASE!!" in a letter to the North Pole. Yesterday afternoon, on the weekend of the first anniversary of her death at age 18, when a tractor-trailer struck a friend's car at a dark traffic light, her mother carried on that spirit of service. Linda Howard recruited her daughter's friends, who then enlisted other friends, to provide a hot meal to more than 250 needy people in the basement of Baltimore's St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church.

I love reading Christmas newsletters in which the writer bursts the bonds of modesty and comes forth with one gilt-edged paragraph after another: "Tara was top scorer on the Lady Cougars soccer team and won the lead role in the college production of Antigone, which by the way they are performing in the original Greek. Her essay on chaos theory as an investment strategy will be in the next issue of Fortune magazine, the same week she'll appear as a model in Vogue. How she does what she does and still makes Phi Beta Kappa is a wonderment to us all. And, yes, she is still volunteering at the homeless shelter."
