Weidman

After a dominating first half from Severna Park paid no dividends against defensive-minded North County, the No. 6-ranked Falcons seemed as if they would need something special to break through in last night's Class 4A East region semifinal.In the game's 58th minute, sophomore Eric Linehan made it happen, along with senior Joe Weidman.Linehan stayed with a ball down the right side and crossed to the far post for Weidman, who headed the ball home to provide the Falcons with a 1-0 win over the Knights.

A Pennsylvania developer who sold his 570-acre Worcester County farm to the state for $6.5 million - a price that critics said was far more than the land was worth - now says he took a loss on the sale and is seeking a tax break for his "donation" to Maryland. Douglas J. Weidman has asked county officials to sign off on his federal 8283 tax form, which lists noncash charitable contributions and is often used for donated items such as cars or stocks. The county contributed to the purchase and is holding title to the land, which it intends to operate as an environmental center.

Jim Weidman wasnt looking for a mystery when he moved into his Catonsville home in 1994. But six years later, Weidman and his wife, Kate Dolan, are still on the case. We know our house was part of the St. Timothys School for Girls, Dolan said. But no historical records have revealed what the house was used for or even if it was definitely part of the school. We have guesses but nobody really knows. But its not for lack of trying. Dolan, a member of the Catonsville Historical Society board, has spent years researching town records pertaining to the school.

This was one for the book -- the rule book, that is.Third-ranked Severna Park edged No. 5 Arundel, 8-7, yesterday with the game ending abruptly on a violation of a so-called speed-up rule.Lefthander Ryan McKewin was brought in for Severna Park starter Pat Boucher with two outs and runners on first and second to pitch to switch-hitting Hector Guadalupe in the seventh inning.McKewin ended up with a save when home plate umpire Dave Alexander called an inside pitch strike two on Guadalupe and then strike three when Guadalupe, upset with the call, spun out of the batter's box for a split second.

Look closely, and the inscription on one gleaming silver loving cup pretty much captures the nature of the sporting event celebrated by the Maryland Historical Society's newest exhibit:"Presented to my rider, Albert G. Ober Jr., by Billy Barton."Billy Barton won the Maryland Hunt Cup in 1925. He was the horse. Mr. Ober went along for the ride.The equine element rules "The Maryland Hunt Cup: 100 Years of America's Greatest Steeplechase." It's a rich collection of paintings, photographs and memorabilia from the legendary steeplechase, whose centennial running takes place today in the rolling Worthington Valley near Glyndon.

One day earlier, Severna Park's softball team had lost its first game of the season -- by seven runs.Its next assignment: facing undefeated Glen Burnie yesterday in a steady drizzle."

You hit a few bumps,/You make a few gaffes,/You learn how to bounce." Resilience is a central theme of the new Stephen Sondheim-John Weidman musical, Bounce. It's a theme that applies not only to the musical's main characters but also to the up-and-down vicissitudes of this eagerly awaited show itself. The first new Sondheim musical since Passion in 1994, Bounce begins a monthlong run on Oct. 21 at Washington's Kennedy Center, which commissioned the show in 1995. Since then it's had three titles, two directors, a lawsuit and counter-lawsuit, a couple of starry casts and, most recently, a two-month engagement at Chicago's Goodman Theatre.

Baltimore's in the grip of a furniture fad. It's hip, it's happenin', it's now. And it's been that way for nearly 200 years.The fad is for painted furniture -- chairs with gilt filigree on arms and legs and landscapes in medallions on the crest rails, tables with compass stars on top, sofas with shields and arrows on wood framing, end tables with scenes of Mount Vernon, a wardrobe painted to look like a bank building, a child's chair and desk with every...
