Outlaw grandmother nabbed at school
ANNAPOLIS - A grandmother was arrested last week after she tried to pick up her 9-year-old grandson from school and police discovered an open warrant for her arrest, city police said.

Lenora Alberta Stansbury, who also uses the last name McClinton, 41, was arrested on a warrant charging her with violating her probation on a prior drug conviction.

She was recently featured on Anne Arundel County's Most Wanted cable TV show, police said.

The woman was called to the school to pick up her grandson, who was in trouble from earlier in the day. Police were called to the school at 291 Locust Ave. just after noon May 14 for the report of three students "running amok."

Police said three students had refused to go to class and were running through the halls and one kicked and punched a teacher and another kicked a teacher's car. The students were charged as juveniles for disrupting school activities, and two 9-year-olds were charged with assault, police said.

Another relative came to get Ms. Stansbury's grandson, police said.

Lawmakers to discuss crab harvest

ANNAPOLIS - A committee of state lawmakers will meet tomorrow to discuss the plans for cutting the harvest of female blue crabs this year.

The Administrative, Executive and Legislative Review Committee has the power to approve or deny the harvest changes, which are being sought as an emergency measure by the Department of Natural Resources. The 19-member committee is set to meet at 1 p.m. in the joint hearing room in the Legislative Services Building on Lawyers Mall in Annapolis.

Scientists are concerned the population of adult blue crabs in the Chesapeake Bay remains below desired levels, while the harvest increases each year. They say curtailing the harvest of females should boost reproduction.

The governors of Maryland and Virginia have agreed to cut the female harvest by 34 percent this year. In Maryland, that means ending the season several weeks early for females on Oct. 23 and bushel limits in September and October for commercial crabbers. Recreational crabbers would be banned from keeping females except for soft crabs.

If the committee doesn't approve the changes, the DNR has a backup plan of nonemergency regulations that only need the governor's OK. That plan includes the ban on the recreational harvest of females and closing the commercial harvest of females on Oct. 11.

Both sets of regulations are explained at www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries.

Eastport center topic of meeting

ANNAPOLIS - The Maryland Department of the Environment will hold a meeting tomorrow night about the environmental cleanup of the Eastport Shopping Center.

The meeting is planned for 6:30 p.m. at the Eastport-Annapolis Neck Library Branch, 269 Hillsmere Drive in Annapolis. Eastport Plaza LLC is participating in the state's Voluntary Cleanup Program to deal with contaminants found in the site's soil and groundwater.

The shopping center's gas station was demolished and four underground tanks were removed in late 2006. That's when contaminated soil was found at the site. In 2007, the company joined the voluntary program, which encourages the redevelopment of contaminated properties.

Officials will accept comments on the plans through June 2. For information, write to MDE project manager Irena Rybak at 1800 Washington Blvd., Suite 625, Baltimore, MD, 21230, or call 410-537-3493.
