“It’s been an administra-ive headache that I hopeo one has to go through,”are said. “It takes a long

ime to correct this.”

The media center haslso installed a new filing

system, Ware said, to en-sure personnel tax infor-

ation is not incorrectlyiled in the future.IRS spokesman Jimupree said the IRS does-’t speak specifically aboutax lien cases and couldot discuss hypothetical

situations.

Commissioner MichaelZimmer was the dissent-ing vote against the plan.Zimmer said there weretoo many suggestions in

the plan that he didn’t seeas the direction that thecounty was going in, suchas mandatory recyclingand instituting Pay as YouThrow trash col lect ionprogram, where house-holds pay for their specificvolume or weight of  waste.

CommissionerJuliaWalsh

Gouge said she thought thegoals outlined in the plan,such as a 60 percent recy-cling rate by 2016, weregood, and that the recom-mendedactionsteps wouldallowfuturecommissionersto decide their own ways oattaining those goals.

Ridgely said he had beenhoping the plan could havepassed unanimously, but heis glad that it was still ac-cepted.

“This is somethingfor thenextBoard of Commission-ers tobuild off of,” he said.

Prosecutors said Harrisretrieved a gun from an-other apartment and fired ashot at Spaulding in a stair-well before firing two shotsinto the door of an apart-

ent Spaulding and

illiams had gone into.At Keyser’s plea hearingn August, Assistant State’sttorney Allan Culver toldtanfield that Keyser had

stuck his foot in the apart-ent door to try and keep it

rom closing.Keyser’s agreement withrosecutors is at the centerf Harris’ motion for a newrial, which Stansfield isonsidering after a hearinguesday.Harris’ attorney has ar-

ued that he was improp-rly prohibited from

uestioning Keyser about aspecific element of thegreement, which may haveisled the jury.Prosecutors told jurorsuring their closing argu-ents in Harris’ trial that

hey didn’t believe Keyserad been completely truth-ul in his testimony.On Wednesday, Culver

said that belief arose from aiscrepancy between theestimony of Keyser andorey Williams’ fiancee,aith Hatcher. Hatcher hadestified that it was Keyser

ho pointed a gun in herace and laughed as he, Har-is and another man fledhrough the Bishops Gartharking lot after the shoot-ng. Keyser denied pointinghe gun at Hatcher.Prosecutors have no rea-

son to believe Hatcher wasot telling the truth, Culver

said.But despite that discrep-

ncy, other witnesses cor-oborated Keyser’s test-mony that Harris was the

shooter, he said.

THE (SALISBURY)DAILY TIMES

DEAL ISLAND — Wa-termen who are upsetabout a drop in oyster

prices have staged a strikein the hopes that buyerswho must fill upcomingThanksgiving orders willrelent.

The buyers had beenpaying as much as $42 perbushel but, this week, theylowered the price to $35,said Danny Webster, of Deal Island. And rumorsare circulating that theprice could drop to $30next week.

“It’s just another nail inthe coffin for watermen,”he said.

About 95 percent of wa-termen in Dorchester,

Somerset and Talbot coun-ties decided to stop work-ing when they heard aboutthe drop in price Monday,he said.

So far this season, water-

men are not seeing the sortof abundant harvest theyhad last year.

They also are facing ris-ing fuel prices for theirboats.

“It’s just getting too ex-pensive,” Webster said.

Currently, watermen andbuyers are negotiating, al-though Webster said heisn’t sure what the out-come will be.

“We’re willing to sitdown and talk to them,” hesaid.

  Jody Tull, a watermanfrom Marion Station, saidhe saw a protest work once

before when buyersdropped the price on softcrabs, then increased themafter watermen com-plained.

While fluctuations in the

seafood market are normal,Tull said he doesn’t under-stand why prices have beenlowered so early in the sea-son.

“Before Thanksgiving,there’s no sense in it,” hesaid. “Between now andNew Year’s is when peopleeat lots and lots and lots of oysters.”

If buyers had waited until  January or February tolower prices, there wouldprobably have been nocomplaints, said Tull, vicepresident of the Chesa-peake Bay CommercialFishermen’s Association.

mateur helps discover black hole

ASSOCIATEDPRESS

SWANTON — The star that ex-ploded into a supernova first spottedby amateur astronomer Gus Johnsonmore than 30 years ago may havecaused a baby black hole in its wake.

 Johnson, 72, a state park worker fromwanton in western Maryland, said heas amazed when NASA’s Chandra X-

ay Observatory Center in Cambridge,ass., called in early November to say

that researchers believe the explodingstar he found with his home telescopein 1979 marked the birth of a black hole0 million light-years away — the near-

est such observation yet made.Scientists at the Harvard-Smithson-

ian Center for Astrophysics publiclyannounced the finding Monday.

It was the third time that Johnson’sstar, SN1979C, has made news.

A year later, radio astronomers foundthat it had begun emitting radio waves,advancing the theory that explodedstars evolve into pulsars.

Now, there’s evidence it may be ababy black hole.By continuing to follow the black

hole, future astronomers will learn justhow much material is left over from thestar’s explosion, said Dan Patnaude, of 

arvard, a co-author of a new paper in

the journal New Astronomy . This blackhole is about five times more massivethan our sun, and the star that ex-ploded was maybe 20 times bigger thanour sun.

The images were captured by theChandra X-Ray space telescope. There

is one other possible explanation forwhat scientists have seen: They couldbe watching the birth instead of a pul-sar wind nebula, like the famous andbeautiful crab nebula.

But Patnaude said a black hole ismore likely.
