The popular eatery will soon get a new name and dinner offerings under a new manager.
A new spin on an old favorite is coming to Cravings in Cape St. Claire. The popular breakfast and lunch eatery recently changed managers, and will soon change its name and begin offering a limited dinner menu. The restaurant’s new manager, Dave Pow, said the new name will be the "Blue Rooster Café." Pow said he has more than 17 years of experience in upscale restaurants that boast millions in sales. But he was looking for something different, which is what brought him to consider purchasing Cravings. “Really, I just got a great vibe from the place in talking with the former owner. The folks here are loyal, and I was looking for something small, and close to home,” Pow said. Fresh from making a turkey club on wheat, Pow emerged from the …

Over the years, Curtis estimates that she’s sold nearly 2,000 mobiles priced from $30 to hundreds.
In a small studio below her Cape St. Claire home, Sue Rena Curtis creates art that dances in the light and sways with the wind. The Dancing Glass mobiles that Curtis makes aren’t your standard fare. She bypasses the traditional soldering technique and uses simple wire to bind the glass to a metal frame. The method frees her to create more creative, elaborate displays than possible using traditional means, she said. “With this, there aren’t any weight limitations,” Curtis said. “I can suspend one piece off of another.” Why go solder-free? Curtis said she's something of an environmental buff, and doesn't like to use unneeded chemicals. After creating mobiles like these for over a decade, she’s become something of a master craftsman. Her …

A Sunday cleanup at Lake Claire drew all sorts of helpers to Cape St. Claire.
For the past six months, the Friends of Lake Claire have been clearing the area around the lake of phragmites, an invasive species of reed. On Sunday, dozens of neighbors in Cape St. Claire gathered together for another cleanup, this time with a little bit of extra help from goats. The animals were particularly a hit with the kids at the cleanup. See a video of the goats in action at the Sunday cleanup. Volunteers weren't just clearing out phragmites on Sunday, either. They also were busy planting new vegetation to help replace what the phragmites had taken away from the lake. The group meets once a month to organize cleanups. If you are interested in pitching in, visit their Facebook group for more information.

A cleanup by local volunteers hopes to restore access to Lake Claire with years of hard work.
A group of hungry, eco-friendly goats used their natural talents to trim away a reed infestation surrounding Lake Claire during the weekend. The Sunday morning cleanup, organized by the Friends of Lake Claire, a group of local volunteers, was just one of several similar cleanups planned since November. The group hopes to restore access to the lake, where an infestation of phragmites, a type of reed, have grown up to 12 feet tall, making it impossible to get to the scenic lake. Eco-Goats, a company based in Davidsonville, lent a few hungry mouths to the volunteer effort on Sunday. The company's president, Brian Knox, said he uses the goats throughout the county, and hopes to put them to work at Lake Claire more in the future. Volunteers …
