2006-11-04 Interview: Bryans Road Author, Robert Westfield Returns to Maryland

Family and friends My parents, who lived here for over 20 years, recently retired and now live on a golf course in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina but they visit Maryland frequently. My brother is in L. A. I still have many friends of the family, former church members and classmates and teachers as well. Its not a fluke that I dedicated "Suspension" to Pete Troiano, who was my Latin and English teacher at Lackey High School. He was instrumental in setting me on the path to New York and writing. Im looking forward to my trip to Maryland in November and see it as a real homecoming. I remember setting out to be "a writer in the Big City" and to return as a published novelist is validation for that 18-year-old with a dream.

2006-11-03 Hawkins on Golf: Crunched by the numbers

Across the board, courses rated harder in Connecticut than Maryland. A in the Nutmeg State is fairly common. Three hundred miles to the south, its rare to find a venue with an over-par rating and a slope in the 130s. What does it all mean Not much, although it does suggest that handicaps kept by those in Connecticut are a bit more vulnerable because theyre slightly inflated, which makes perfect sense to me. I couldnt play to my number in Maryland. In a three-club wind, I had no chance.

Another idea, which has not resonated well with the nearby neighbors, is to convert Palo Verde Golf Course, at 15th and Maryland avenues, into a city park. Councilwoman Peggy Bilsten suggested selling the course to developers and using the money to pay off the debt.

2006-11-23 Sports - Annapolis Powell thrives in special Terps role

COLLEGE PARK - In the Maryland football media guide, Annapolis Greg Powell is listed as a senior wide receiver. But hes never lined up on the flank for a single play from scrimmage. Instead, hes made his contribution as one of the anonymous grunts on special teams. Its not glamorous work, to say the least. The only time hes likely to run into the end zone is on a touchback.

Powell started at the bottom at Maryland and his climb was neither quick nor easy. He began his college career on the scout team that emulated opponents plays for the 2003 Gator Bowl squad. He recalls getting his first pat on the back one day at practice when he put a good block on linebacker Shawne Merriman, now one of the top defensive players in the National Football League.
