HOLDUP

     Three male suspects robbed a Baltimore Provident Savings Bank Thursday after ordering three employees and two customers to lie on the floor while the manager was held at gunpoint, officials said. 

     The bank was located on the 3100 block of Greenmount Avenue. One suspect was armed with a .22-caliber sawed-off rifle and covered the employees and customers while the other suspects leaped over the counter.

     The robbers ransacked several of the teller's cages and stuffed the money into two white pillowcases. They ran out of the building to the ally on the north side of the bank where the rifle was dropped and suspects were lost from sight.

     Officials have not disclosed how much cash was taken and stated that there have been no injuries or arrests at this time.

     As Spring approaches, Reisterstown's Daniel B. Satisky is getting ready to un-winterize his boat so he can spend another summer out on the water.

     "My birthday is at the beginning of April so the closer my birthday gets, the closer it is to reopening my boat for the season," said the 50-year-old Pharmacist/boat owner. "Every year I look forward to getting back out on the water around this time. I usually take off the weekend of my birthday so I can ready my boat again."

     Satisky has been a boat owner for five years. He has owned three different boats throughout this time. The first two were pontoon boats which moved at slower speeds but allowed room for a lot of people. His third is a speed boat which lacks room, but allows him to move faster and endure tougher water situations. 

     "I enjoyed having the pontoon boats because it really allowed my family and friends to spread out and relax," Satisky said. "After a few years with them though I got bored and wanted to be able to move faster. The new boat still allows enough room for everyone but this way I can move quicker and maneuver through rough waters better."

     With the new boat he has been able to venture to the Inner Harbor, Eastern Shore, and the Bay Bridge; locations that he hopes to visit again this year as well as adventuring to new places.
