Oysters to be built from ash and cement mix off Fisherman Island
Virginia researchers from VIMS and Old Dominion University plan a half acre reef using golf ball sized pellets of fly ash and cement near Fisherman Island to test if the material supports oyster and marine life. They aim to find alternative reef building material as wild oysters remain scarce and consider fly ash disposal costs.

De Francis case rekindles Maryland campaign reform push
Annapolis reform advocates see the De Francis illegal 12000 donation to Governor Glendening in 1994 as a catalyst. House Speaker Taylor orders hearings on fundraising laws for 1997 while President Miller weighs pace and reporting needs. Computerizing records and tighter donor information are core proposals, with lobbying rules and PAC limits under review.

City drops housing plan to mix poor and middle class
Baltimore officials abandon a plan to mix middle income and poor residents in subsidized rowhouses replacing Lafayette Courts and Lexington Terrace. 800-plus units of Lafayette Courts were razed and 670-unit Lexington Terrace will be demolished this Saturday. Critics call the move a mistake undermining a recent ACLU settlement to create mixed income public housing replacing Flag House Courts and Murphy Homes in coming years.
