LWV Baltimore County Voter Summer 2020 CO-PRESIDENTS LETTER Dear League Members, These are not the best of times nor the worst of times! On Saturday, June 13, we successfully held our first virtual annual meeting. Our speaker, eminent historian and writer Dr. Jean Baker, was compelling and left us with the message that the story of the fight for the right to vote for women has, in many ways, been sanitized. It was a long and hard struggle where women were denigrated, tortured, and marginalized, but through shear persistence, organization, innovative tactics, and moral commitment to principle and justice overcame many obstacles to finally succeed. Dr. Baker emphasized the right to vote as precious, still denied, and not always exercised. She urged us, with the same spirit that motivated the suffragists, to continue to register voters, observe the polls, and get out the vote. These are, after all, things we do in the best of times, and in the uneasy times as well. The tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of the police is emblematic of the worst of times. His death and its aftermath tear the scab off the wounds of the racism that has sullied the history of this country. Though there has been some progress since the riots and marches in the sixties, we are called again to recognize the evil of discrimination because of race and class, and the anger and hurt generated by a failure of equal opportunity to enjoy success and prosperity. We are called upon to examine the part we play in the persistence of “the heel of the boot” on some, while others acquire enormous wealth and power. Our agenda must include an effort to right the wrongs of the past and build a better future for all. To that end, we have adopted a local program for the coming year and received directions from the membership which will enable that goal. Several challenges are changing our operations. The COVID–19 pandemic and the measures taken to stem the incident of illness and death has curtailed many planned events including a bus trip to the National Archives and the Library of Congress, a performance of The Capitol Steps, and other gatherings. We are becoming proficient with virtual meetings and conversations but look forward to the time when we can gather in person. We hope to reschedule some of these events. We are planning brown bag lunches with speakers, which may occur in cyber-space or in person. Our new office assistant, Margaret (Maggy) Lindgren, will be in the office during the middle of the day two days a week and working from home at other times. We expect her expertise and presence will remarkably improve our ability to respond to you and to the public. As we look to the future and better times, we want to thank all of you who contribute to making the League relevant and worthwhile. A special thank you to Barbara Crain, whose work as board member and chairman of Voter Services has led to our ability to continue publishing of our Voters’ Guide and our robust efforts at registering new citizens and others to vote. This spring, Barbara and her committee published two voter guides: one for the Congressional District 7 Special Election and one for our June 2nd Presidential Primary election. These guides give our League visibility, credibility, and are always in demand. We expect to be very engaged in continuing these activities as we approach the November election. Thank you to Sharalyn Luciani, editor of The Voter and steward of communications including the Annual Meeting Workbook and Member Handbook/and Directory. The quality and usefulness of these publications cannot be underestimated. We will miss departing members of the board, Jen Haire and Barbara Hopkins. Jen, a longtime member of the board, is the chair of our Program Committee and has been central in maintaining the quality of our speakers and organizing our candidate forums. Barbara has been instrumental in leading us through our G- Suite rollout and the development and implementation of our strategic plan. 2 LWV Baltimore County Voter Summer 2020 My Co-President, Theresa (Terri) Lawler, also is leaving her post. Terri is wonderful to work with, conscientious, gracious, and thoughtful. She will ascend to the chairmanship of our endowment, the Jessa Goldberg Fund, where her expertise and careful guidance will be invaluable. Terri will replace Caroline Seamon, who is a past President of the League and has been an important contributor to the production of the Voter’s Guide and has been a conscientious steward of the endowment. We welcome our new board members, Carol Wynne, Sharon Walker, Phyllis Panopoulos, and Hannah Fishman, and my new Co-President Tana Stevenson. With all the wonderful people who are so willing to devote time to the League, we can look forward to the best of times.

The purpose of the draft is to assign amateur baseball players to major league teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick. Eligible amateur players include graduated high school players who have not attended college, any junior or community college players, and players at four-year colleges and universities three years after first enrolling or after their 21st birthdays (whichever occurs first). From 1966-1986, a January draft was held in addition to the June draft targeting high school players who graduated in the winter, junior college players, and players who had dropped out of four-year colleges and universities. To date, there have been 1,170 Maryland players selected in the First-Year Player Drafts either from a Maryland High School (337), Maryland College (458), Non-Maryland College (357), or a Maryland amateur baseball club (18). The most Maryland selections in a year was in 1970 (38) followed by 1984 (37) and 1983 (36). The first Maryland selection was Jim Spencer from Andover High School with the 11th overall selection in the inaugural 1965 June draft.

  • Maryland Schools Closed for the Remainder of the Academic Year
    SPRING 2020 Sponsored by Mascot Media, NIAAA, Big Teams, Crown Trophy, Daktronics, Musco Lighting, Neff, Varsity Athletic, NFHS COVID-19 Maryland SchoolS cloSed for the reMainder of the acadeMic year Spring SportS SeaSon cancelled 26 MSADA | P2 Up until April 17, the IAAM, the MIAA and the MPSSAA had hopes of continuing at least part of their spring sports seasons. But, after the Maryland COVID-19 update by Govenor Hogan and State Education Supertindent, Dr. Karen Salmon, things changed. Dr. Salmon announced that Maryland schools would be closed through May 15 (on May 6, it was announced that Maryland schools would be closed for the remainder of the acadmic year). After the April 17 announcements by the state officials, the IAAM’s and MIAA’s last hope to salvage the spring sports season ended with a joint statement in that regard on April 21. The final step was not taken lightly, according to IAAM executive director Sue Thompson. “On behalf of the IAAM, I want our student-athletes to know how very hard it is to make the formal call to end the spring season,” Thompson said. “The last month has been a whirlwind of challenges for our programs and teams. I know that so many of our member schools are doing very creative things right now to celebrate seniors and their teammates, and that has been wonderful to see. But the fact is – we are all missing the games, matches and contests that would be in full gear right about now. The IAAM continues to provide resources and support for our athletic directors and we sincerely look forward to a time when hearing those officials’ whistles blowing, fans are cheering and our athletes are back to doing what they do – competing and having fun.” The IAAM plans to honor spring season senior athletes by naming them to the Spring Season All-Conference Teams – sports include badminton, golf, lacrosse, softball and track and field.

  • October 2016 Volume 9 Dundalk High School Issue 2 Newsletter
    October 2016 Volume 9 Dundalk High School Issue 2 Newsletter Dear Parents: October is a great month to really focus forward on our goals for the year. We estab- lish our goals based on our vision and mission. Our vision for DHS is to educate, teach, and inspire students to be college/career ready while fostering the values of productive, contributing citizens. Each month, we examine our vision to be sure everything we do at DHS aligns with our core values. For example, we are focused on building relationships with our stu- dents through an award-winning mentoring program. This year, over 50 faculty mem- bers have volunteered their time and talent to support our youth. The goal of the pro- gram is to establish lasting relationships with the students and their families that fo- Principal cus on improving attendance, attitudes, and student achievement. Kristin Anelli In addition, October is PSAT month. At DHS, we strongly believe that preparing all students for the PSAT and SAT prepares them for life after school regardless of Assistant Principals where their paths may lead. The types of skills assessed on the SAT, such as critical thinking, logical reasoning, analysis, evaluation, etc., are lifelong skills that all of us Timothy Arrington need to have to experience success in academics or our profession. The data gathered Andrew Deming from the PSAT will help your son or daughter to understand which specific areas will need improvement prior to taking the SAT. Preparing for the SAT begins in 9th grade Brett Molin because our students need that much time to mature as young adult thinkers.
