But it beats floating in Crisco

It's true: Calypso is surrounded by 6000 gallons of olive oil.


Workers with the state Department of the Environment and the city Fire Department plan today to flush a 2-mile stretch of sewer leading to the harbor after it was contaminated over the weekend by a 6,000-gallon olive oil spill at an East Baltimore business, authorities said.

While these agencies are involved in cleaning the spill, which leaked olive oil into the area around the Canton waterfront, city police were investigating the possibility that the leak was caused by a vandal who broke into the business and opened a valve on a container holding the oil, authorities said.
