was sacked on

The Sea Gulls defense threw several different fronts at the 'Green

Baakquestionsspecial
• educatloa eligibility
My friend and colleague, Dr.
Joel Macht, professor of special
education at Western Maryland
College, recently published a book
titled "Special education's failed
system: A question of eligibility"
(published by Bergin & Garvey).
In this book, Dr. Macht makes the
case that standardized IQ and
achievement tests, used by psychologist and educators (as
required by state regulations) to
determine special education eligibility for millions of children, are
invalid for that purpose.
•
"The IQ test is suppose to measure the child's academic potential or cognitive ability. The
achievement test is suppose to
measure the child's current academic performance. If there is a
significant discrepancy between
the two scores, it is assumed (in a
gigantic, unsupported leap of
faith) that there is a discrepancy
between the child's ability and his
current academic performance,
and that the discrepancy is
caused by a learning disability.
Dr. Macht states that this discrepancy model is founded on the
false premise that (a) the IQ test
is a valid measure of a child's
ability, (b) the achievement test is
a valid measure of the child's current performance, and (c) that a
discrepancy. between a child's
potential and his performance is
caused by a learning disability.
•
In fact, as Dr. Macht documents
in his book, neither the IQ or
achievement tests currently used
in our schools are valid measures
ofIQ or achievement. In addition,
Dr. Macht believes that the invention of the learning disability
label to explain poor academic
performance does an injustice to
our children and simply lets the
child's school and regular educators "off the hook" for not meeting
the child's educational needs.
Regarding IQ tests, we cur-
I
Thomas J.
Zirpoli
rently have no standardized test
that can measure a child's potential or capacity to learn. In fact,
most experts in the field ask the
simple question, "how we can possibly measure something we can't
even define?"
They are speaking, of course,
about the definition ofintelligence. Ask 100 people to define
intelligence and you are likely to
get 100 different answers. Instead
of having a test that measures
intelligence, intelligence becomes
what ever is measured on the IQ
test. A child from a deprived back. ground will probably score poorly
on an IQ tests because he has not
been exposed to much of the information on the test.
On the other hand, a child from
a stimulating home environment
who has attended good schools
will likely score well on an IQ
test. Thus, the IQ test measures a
child's opportunities to learn, not
his capacity or potential to learn.
The same is true for ~chievement tests. A child from a poor
school environment will score
poorly on a standardized achievement test because his school has
not prepared him adequately for
the questions on the test. These
test are a better measure of what
a child has learned in school, not
the child's ability to learn specific
information at a specific grade
level.
Dr. Macht states that we should
be looking at what students ..and
their teachers, are doing in the
classroom, not how they score ?n
a standardized test. By observing
students in the claSsroom a
teacher can assess where a child
is having difficulty and help the
child in that specific area of difficulty. For example, a simple
classroom math test, developed by
the teacher, will communicate
more to the teacher about where
the child needs help in math than
a hundred standardized tests
These tests should be developed
by the classroom teacher because
only the child's teacher knows
what information she has covered
in class and, thus, what each
child should be expected to know.
I
As I have said before, all the
tests and labels in the world will
not teach a child how to read or I
behave in a socially appropriate
manner. We need to stop blaming
the victim (the student). We need
to stop looking for disabilities in
students and start looking at how
we are teaching. We need to stop
passing out labels and take
responsibility for what students
have not learned.
I
We need to start serving students when they first need help
(evidenced by classroom observation) and stop waiting for aignificant failure as measured by an
artificial discrepancy. We need to
stop looking for quick solutions to
why Johnny can't read, and spend
the time and resources necessary
to teach Johnny how to read.
,
Dr. Macht raises some inter,
esting and disturbing questions
that apply to all our students and
to an eligibility system in need of
serious repair.

I
C
ommunity response to two racial incidents bUbbh.·ng.
up in the past couple weeks is a-good example of
how to turn a negative situation into a positive,
educational experience.
Western Maryland College held a candlelight vigil '
Wednesday evening to bring that tight-knit community
back together after racial slurs were scrawled on some' I
dorm room doors.
That incident is complicated by the fact that a student
was caught on camera allegedly writing the slurs on his
I
own door.
•
•
I
Still, the response by the students, faculty and members '
of the community was overwhelming, as about 400 people
took part in the vigil.
And Sunday, a day of blessing was held at the house of a
woman whose home had been the target of vandals who
broke in and painted racial slurs and other vulgarities on
the walls.
The swiftness of the response in both cases and the outpouring of community support demonstrate that. there are
far more people interested in getting along than there are
people interested in creating division:
Still, even one such incident brings home the reality
that there are some people who believe that a person's
worth is based primarily on color. The Western Maryland J
College incident involved students. The Taneytown incident, in all likelihood, was the result of young vandals.
In both instances, those responsible probably learned
their behavior at home. And that is where the education
process must begin and continue.
,
Children of bigots and racists are likely to grow up as
bigots and racists themselves. But beyond that, parents
who tolerate their children putting down others based on
race, sex, religion or physical ability, or who laugh off such
remarks as not important contribute just as much to the
problem.
Parents must explain to their children why these words
hurt, and the meaning behind them. Children could be
given examples to illustrate the point, such as asking,
"How would it make you feel if someone who you never 1
saw before in your life came up to you and said you were \
bad or you weren't as good as other people?"
A conversation is sure to follow.
And conversation, as demonstrated
in two separate
activities in the past week, is the cornerstone for healing,
educating and moving on.

Teachers who excel in the classroom are often rewarded with invitations to take foreign trips, attend,
out-of-state workshops and speak
at conferences -r- all things that
can take them out of the classroom

The only problem for Harris is
how to play if the score gets out of

It's a difficult situation for players
because they're anxious to get in
but don't want to score often and
appear unsportsmanlike.
Most
coaches can't just tell their team to
sit on the ball and not try to score.

appear unsportsmanlike. Most
coachescan't just tell their team to
sit on the ball and not try to score.
"That's real hard because they
practice all week," said Harris,
who will likely start in two years
after Serrnarini graduates. "A lot
of them are running the other
team's plays and getting beat up
[in practice) by the first-string

they want to take out their anger.
They want to put some points on
the board.
"Every time I hit that field I'm
going 100 percent and trying to
make things happen. That's my
time and I don't get much of it so I
might as well make the best of it."
Then there's just one more
problem.What if the Green Terror
holds just a two-score lead in the
third or fourth quarter ~ an
advantage not likely to induce
mass substitutions? With Johns
Hopkins and a possible NCAA
playoff game to follow,this might
be the only chance some players
will get to play in 1998.

Westminster Rotarians remembered
their vets
: In October 1946, the Westminster Rotary Club began publishing
its newsletter,
known as the Cog
Wheel, after a two-year hiatus.
T,he Editorial
Committee,
Edward
C. Seitz, editor, and James P. Earp
and Paul S. Manina, assistant
editors, explained
the reason: "The
COG WHEEL made its first
appearance
in 1923 and was publi;shed continuously
until 1944.
The COG WHEEL served for 21
years without repair. War and priorities made repair impossible and
the COG WHEEL was placed in
storage. The present committee
has taken the COG WHEEL from
storage, repaired
it, and hopes
that it will continue
to function
during the coming years."
:The first issue was dedicated to
a' single purpose as explained by
the editorial committee:
"We deem
it advisable
to that our first issue
of the COG WHEEL should give
recognition
to those of our present
members who served in World
War II. It is a privilege to present
these brief records of their service
as a permanent
reminder of the
gratification
of the club." The issue
contained
the following service

seems someone with a camera was
shooting the game from the roof of the yetunfinished

100 yards behind the south end zone. The
coaches thought the shutterbug might
have been with Johns Hopkins, which the
Green Terror play next week, or even
Trinity College, Western's Maryland's

Western Maryland blanked visiting Swarthmore, 42-0, raising the

"He's a gentleman, he's a program kid
and you feel great about him," Keating
said. "H~ moved away from the quarterbeck-positionso he could get on the field a
little bit more and that was his choice. I
have nothing bad to say about Justin
Sheridan."
Since the position battle, Sheridan and
Sermarini have becomegoodfriends.
"Looking from all the way back then,
we've become so close from that," Sermarini said. "The competitiveness in us to
start was obviously there from the beginning and things change. Wejust became
great friends from that. Justin is a hard
worker and he does anything he has to to
play. It's tough when there's only one
quarterback."
I SPY: A couple of WMC assistants
came back up to the press box after halftime asking for the number to security. It
seems someone with a camera was
shooting the game from the roofof the yetunfinished science building, located about
100 yards behind the south end zone. The
coaches thought the shutterbug might
have been with Johns Hopkins, which the
Green Terror play next week, or even
Trinity College, Western's Maryland's
most likely opponent if the Green Terror
qualifies for the NCAADivision III playoffs.
But quicker than you could say, "Ne-ver
mind," the coaches and the school'ssports
information director realized it was a photographer hired by the school to take
panoramic pictures of the campus.

A HAIR ABOVE THE REST: Punter
Steve Wilcox spends the least amount of
time on the field yet he is easily Western
Maryland's most viaible player. Before
every game, Wilcox would dye his hair
green. While certainly a showing of team
spirit, it gave Wilcox the reputation of
being a flake and some coaches probably
wished he'd be a little more mainstream.
Three weeks ago, Wilcox shaved.has,

A few .or the names have
changed, but the game between
'Johns Hopkins and western
Maryland remains the same.
'
Today's 1 p.m. matchup on
Homewood Field will have the
same ramif'l.cations as last year's
metcbup. For. the Green Terror
(9-0, 6-0), the game, means sole
possession of the Centennial Conference championship and a berth
in the NCAADivision III playoffs.
For the Blue Jays (7-2,5-1), It's
a shot at a share of the conference
title and the school's best record
slncea6-1 campaign in 1967.
For both, It's a chance to beat
thelrf'l.ercest rivals in the fl.nalreg-.,
uiar-season game for seniors like
Western Maryland offensive lineman Mat Mathias and Hopkins
defensive end Larry Gulotta.
"Our number one rival Is always
Western Maryland. No matter
what, It's always a tough game,"
said Gulotta, who expects a good
following in the one week a year
where Hopkins cares about football. "We usually get a good turnout against western Maryland.
There's a certain amount of apethY and for years, lacrosse was the
only sound team. But when we're
playing Western Maryland for the
conference championship, the
student body gets behind us."
The Green Terror has scored
39.1 points a game In 1998, allowIng 11.2 whlle extendlng Its regu-
tar-season winning streak to 19
games. The key has been quarter.back Ron Sermar!n1, leads the
conference in total offense at 201.8
yards per game,
But what Hopkins coach Jim
Margrafi' fears most Is the ability
of the Green Terror to tum a close
game into a runaway. TIm Keattng's team has outscored Its opponents 114·33in the second quarter, getting big plays from its
speclal teams and defense in addition to the offense.
"They seem to have a huge run
in every game," said Margratr, who
noted that the Green Terror leads
Division III in turnover margin at
plus-2.56 per' game. "Western
Maryland might be up 7-0, then
Ron Sermar1n1makes a great play,
'" All of a sudden, you're down
28-0. Teams come in playing extremely hard and smart, but they
have too many weapons."
Johns HopkinS will try to coun-
.
I
teract this by coming up wlth big,
II
plays of Its own. Though Western
Maryland
has
22 Interceptions':
and has given up only five touch- I
downs through
the air, it has been \
vulnerable to the pass. That's I
where Hopkins
might attack, lean-
lng on Quarterbacks wayne Roccia and Jamie Moruca, who have
I
combined for 1,826 passing yards.
"We've got to be aggressive
and
we'll throw the ball early. They
know that," Margratf said. "We're
just trylngto stay out of third- andlong situations. You have to be
fairly productive and you have to
make bIg plays."

Time:tp.m.
Outlook: The Blue Jays must keep western Maryland quarterback Ron Sennarlnl
under wraps and nnd a way to avoid the
mistakes that hindered them last year
during a 21·3 loss In Westminster. Chief
among them was a punt that was blocked
by the Oreen 'rerror. setting up II key
touchdown right before hall\lme. Averag·
Ing 32 points with weapons such as Adam
centne. Jamie Monica, Wayne Rocclaand
sam Sk.\nner, moving the ball shouldn't
be much ora problem for Hopkins. But Its
defense can be a ntne more elastle than
that of Western Maryland's. particularly
agarnst. the run, where Hopk.\ns gives up
160 yards a game. The winner gets the
centennial Conference crown. with the
Oreen Terror playing for Its second
straight bid In the NCAA Division 1II play·

Throughout a patient's course of

from a hospital, in which nurses
and doctors typically rotate shifts.
The more intimate care provided
by hospice allows the caregivers to
become attuned to their patients'

the meanings of the words their

Of course, hospice care is not for

in the program, patients must at
least be in the process of coming to
terms with their death, Yowell
suggested.

"It

'!'ay we did today defensively,
we
can beat anybody."
Probably true. Still, WMC coach
Tim Keating has his own opinions:
"My preference
would be not to get
on an airplane."
When Keating
was an assistant
at Rice, the team flew to all its
games. So he's seen firsthand
that
flying can be a distraction.
"When you know ahead of time
that you have to fly with a football
team, it's difficult.
When you're
flying with a football
team and
you've got like six days to prepare,
it's terribly,
terribly
difficult,"
he
said. "I don't want to do that."
If the team does draw Trinity, it
would likely fly out mid-day

Thursday.
Ifit draws

team, it would probably

Yowell
said, explaining
how
she deals with her job. "If I really
need a mental health day, I ask for
one from my supervisor."
Because of the difference in his
wives' illnesses, both of Winfrey's
hospice
experiences
were
dif-
ferent. Joy Winfrey died at their
home
town
in Cambridge
- a small
between
Salisbury
and
Easton. Toward the end, she was
put on morphine_
to help alleviate
the pain of her illness.
Though the left side of Evelyn
Winfrey's body was incapacitated
by the tumor, she was lucid and
relatively
pain-free throughout the
roughly three months she was in
hospice care, Winfrey said.
With Joy, he said, there were
five years in which to come to·
terms with the end oflife. The case
was different for Evelyn. Doctors
were aggressively treating her
tumor with radiation, but after a
point she was told the only way to
extend her life was to undergo
chemotherapy - even then there
was only a 20.percent chance her
life could be extended. Even then,
the reprieve would have probably·
only been months.
"Evelyn's biggest problem was
exhaustion," Winfrey said. "With
the radiation, she was already
sleeping the largest part of the

wife Evelyn In this submitted

day. Chemo would only make her
more tired. She didn't think her
quality of life would be good, and
we decided to go into the hospice
program 100 percent."
The string that ran through the
lives of both of his wives, Winfrey
said, was their faith.
"Both of my wives had confidence that they would be OK after
death," he said. "Whatever the life
hereafter holds, they felt they
would enjoy -it. They were confi-

dent in the love of Christ."
For Yowell, too, faith plays a role
in helping her confront the usually
inevitable outcome of her job.
"It is a struggle to be born and a
struggle to die," Yowell said. "I
view death as a birth into another
life."
Faith in.life after death, though,
doesn't always mean acceptance
and lack of faith doesn't always
mean there is fear, she said. Each
person ultimately faces death
alone and in their own style.
Yowell has been working with
Carroll Hospice since June 1997.
She's 51 and said she tries to stay
aware of her own mental health.
"You work hard and you play
hard,"

'Not a sad time'
Winfrey's house outside of Westminster affords his living room
guests probably one 'of the most
bucolic views in Carroll County.
From his living room's picture
window, the geometry of autumn's
fallow fields unroll in irregular
curves.
The inside of his house is meticulous like the borders of the fields
that appear in the distance outside. It could be a showroom
model.
Evelyn was a meticulous
woman, he said, but this is no
shrine.
"I'm not in denial," Winfrey said.
"I know my wife is dead, and I
have to get on with my life."
While he. still grieves openly, it
is over the loss, not.the.process of
dying that hospice care let him
and Evelyn experience, he said.
"Contrary to popular belief, it is
not a sad time," Winfrey said. "It
is a pleasure to share wbar time
there is left."
Evelyn was able to go to her
50th college reunion and sit at the
dinner. table with her old friends
- they in chairs, she in a wheelchair.
And Carroll Hospice helped
Evelyn say goodbye to the choir at
St. Paul's United Church of
Christ, where she had been choir
director. Volunteer firemen helped
carry her up to the loft above the
sanctuary where the choir sits so
she could bid them farewell.
The death of his wives has also
given Winfrey perspective on his
own mortality and the understanding that dying can be nurtured by hospice car:. he_:i8id.

'Defense leads Terror to second straight crown
By MICHAEL SADOW~KI
Evening Sun Sports Wnter
Don't look now, but it looks like Western Maryland College's football team may
be hitting its stride.
The defense that gave up two big plays
every week to keep teams within 20 points
at the start of the year, tightened its stranglehold on the opposition, blanking secondplace Johns Hopkins in a 17-0 victory and
giving the Green Terror its sec~:md~traight
Centennial Conference championship Saturday at Homewood Field in Baltimore.
"This is probably the most complete
game that we have played as a defense,"
said South Western graduate Zach Galemore, who had six tackles from hi.s defensive tackle spot. "We played this game
about as good as we could have."
Galemore and his defensive compatriots
combined to hold Johns Hopkins to just 20

•
rushing yards, including a paltry 24 from
Adam Gentile, who came into the game as
the Centennial Conference's third-leading
rusher. The defense also limited the Blue
Jays' rotating quarterback system to 14
completions out of 33 attempts, including
three interceptions.
And it couldn't have come at a better
time. The win allows the back-to-back
champion Terror to finish the regular sea-

\Teppor. will remember Alamo
Western Maryland to face Trinity in San Antonio
By PETER ZELLEN
TimesSlaffWriler
Just about all of the nearly 100 players on the
Western Maryland College football team knew
they were going to the playoffs.They just didn't
know where or against whom.
But head coach Tim Keating and his staff
knew and so did athletics director Richard Carpenter, having listened in on the teleconference
announcing the NCAADivision III playoff pairings a half-hour earlier.
So as the players gathered in the team room
Sunday morning, crouched over in their chairs
with their arms resting on their knees, Keating
decided to keep them in a little suspense instead showing the team film clips of the occasional coverage the 10-0 Green Terror has had
on local television.
Finally, at noon, Carpenter came in and
announced that Western Maryland would be
traveling to San Antonio, Texas, for a firstround game against Trinity, also 10-0. The
Green Terror will be playing in the South
Region,where it was ranked third in the NCAA
DivisionIII poll.
That's when the room erupted with cheers
and excitement. Not only are the Green Terror
players in the playoffs for the second year in a

row, but they get a chance to prove themselves
against another undefeated team.
"I think we're going in with the mindset of
winning a national championship,"junior quarterback Ron Sermarini said. "I don't know if
last year we had that mentality. I though last
year we thought we had the possibility of winrung but this year we have high expectations.
We don't expect to go out in the first round.
We're ready for it now, we're ready for the play-
offs."
Last year the Green Terror went 10-0to earn
it's first-ever berth in the NCAA Division III
playoffsbut lost at Lycoming(Pa.) 27-13.
With Trinity located more than 1,500 miles
away from Westminster, the Green Terror is
also playing a team it's never played or even
seen before - nor did the two teams share any
common opponents. Lycoming was a stranger
last year as well but the schoolwas much closer
and scouting reports were easier to attain. For
the Western Maryland players, all they know
about Trinity is what they've read on the
Internet or maybe read in an out-of-townnewspaper.
"It could be positive or negative I guess,"
senior defensive back Tom Lapato said. "All
we'll know is what we see from the film so we
won't take any extra baggage or stereotypes or
trends from what [Trinity] says. The film
doesn't lie. We'll see what they run and how
they play. Since they don't play the same teams
we play, that can't make the comparison of,
'This team beat this team by such and such."
The other game in the South Region bracket
pits Catholic (D.C.) (10-0) at Lycoming(9-0). If
Western Maryland advances past Trinity, it
would either travel to Lycoming or host
Catholic.

College football
team have to play it.
Nearly 100 players have suited
up six days a week for the Green

WMC to its
second consecutive
10-0 record and
Centennial
Conference
title. But
only half will be in San Antonio,
Texas when Western
Maryland
plays Trinity in the first round of
the NCAA Division III playoffs.
"All these guys contributed to
our success whether
they're Ron
Sermarini
or Duncan MacRae, who
was out with a shoulder
injury,"
Keating said. "They've worked and
i to all of a sudden say they can't go,
I that's too bad. An airplane ticket is
$439 and that's what it comes
down to,"
The NCAA allows team to dress
48 players
and will pay for the
tra_nsportation
of a school party of
up to 58 people, including players.
Because
of the immense
cost of
flying
to Texas,
only those 48

The Western Maryland College
football team has more on their
minds today than just Saturday's
Division III playoff game at Trinity
University. Forget' that a possible
national title is on the line - you
might
just
see a couple
of 250-
pound guys blubbering this afternoon as they board the plane to
San Antonio, Texas.
A lot of the Green Terror players
have never flown in a plane before.
Others have hardly been out of the
immediate
Maryland-Pennsyl-
vania-Delaware area before.
"I'm thinking about flying more
than
I am the game,"
said junior
left guard Terry Otto, a first-time
flyer. "I'm really nervous
about
going on a plane.
I don't know
what kind of experience
that's
going to be. That's all that's on my
mind right now. I'm not a real fan
of heights."
Remember, at 6-foot-3 and 275
pounds, there isn't much that
frightens Otto.
Otto, from Baltimore, once traveled as fa-r as South Carolina to
visit family, but he drove.
Since midway through
the
season, when it appeared the
Green Terror would likely travel to
Texas for a playoff game, some
players have been dreading today.
Mostly because they have to fly.
"I've never gone on a plane
before but I've always heard about
the accidents with planes," cornerback Marvin Deal said. "All I know
is a couple of the guys said they
would probably knock me out.
There going to jump me or something to getrny mind ofTit.
"I'll probably just go on the plane
nervous, sit down, get my little
barf bag, throw up after about a
half an hour. Hopefully I'll be out
by then."
Defensive coordinator Al Thomas
said not only does he not like to fly
but he doesn't like traveling by
train either.
"Any time I'm cooped up somewhere I can't get off whenever I
want then I don't want to do it,"
Thomas said. "I want to know that
I can get outside whenever I want."
Thomas also has a story to go
along with h~~ dislike of fl~ing.

bring-ing home various souvenirs.
One in particular knows exactly
what he wants and when.
"When I get off the plane, I'm
buying a cowboyhat," Otto said.
Running back Jay Tharpe has
never flown before but he's ready
_for anything if it means continuing
on in the playoffs.
_
"If I've got to fly to get to a football game then I'll be th~ first one
on the plane," Tharpe eaid.

Kenneth Carter III had originally told college officials that he
was a victim after a series of racial
slurs were found written on his
dorm room door and the door
across the hall- home to another
black student - in October.
The college and Westminster
police placed a hidden video

culprit. On Oct. 26, police said, the

Head coach Tim Keating said it's
been a difficult week in practice,
largely because the NCAA allows
only 48 'players to travel to and
play in playoff games. That meant
he-had to leave 50 contributors
behind, which was _tough on
morale.

also knew there weren't

"Coach Mohr was in it for the long haul but he could
see there was a light at the end of the tunnel," junior

The process was slow. The Tigers won their first

Steve Mohr figured he had a lot of work to do nine
years ago when he became the head football coach at
Trinity University.
Mohr's resume was certainly

in 1988 and getting to

WHEN THE TIGERS ARE ON DEFENSE: Because of all the passing offense, a quality defense has gone
unnoticed. The Tigers are third-best in the nation at defending the run, allowing just 57.7 yards a game with a
1.7-yard per-carry average. The Tigers also surrender just 91.2 yards passing per game _ 29th in the nation

an apartment near the high school
and his wife Sally drove to the
eastern shore every weekend from ,
their home in Damascus.
"No question, I've spent a lot of

Thomas said. "What I tried to do,

But the time away from his

Marc Thomas suffered a fall while

while playfully wrestling with. a

Marc's arms went numb.

When Marc went to the city hospital, the doctors X-rayed his head
and found he had broken his neck.
When Marc fell from the rim and
suffered the injury, the pieces
broke but fell right back into place.
While Marc walked around with
what seemed like a sore neck, he
was in danger of having the pieces
slip apart, severing his spinal cord
and causing paralysis. His neck
was so unstable, doctors told him,
that if the ambulance carrying
Marc to the hospital was just
lightly bumped from the rear, that
would have been enough to move
them apart.
He immediately
underwent
surgery and had screws placed in
his neck.
"'It was a mixture of being devastated because I had gone down

Thomas said. "I was thinking a k.t

Auto manslauqhtercase ends
rr.en are each found guilty of six
in mistrial,
TW0
traffic offenses; state vows to retry case
By LAURA
BECK
Times Staff Writer
The state vowed to retry two men
involved in a fatal high-speed
collision after a jury Friday failed to
reach a verdict against them for
automobile
manslaughter
and
second-degree
assault.
After close to 10 hours of deliberations, jurors told the court they
could not agree to convict Scott
Drysdale Broadfoot Sr. and Frederick Henry
two charges.
But jurors
Hensen
Jr. on those
did find
each
man
guilty of six traffic offenses, each of
which carries
a $500 fine and a
total of five points. Broadfoot also
was convicted
of leaving the scene
of an accident
in which someone
died or was injured.
He faces a
year in jail for that offense.
The state contended that- Broadfoot, 25, Hensen,
21, and Mark
Edward Eppig, 22, were racing on
Md. 140 going east toward Baltimore on June 1 at speeds above 90
mph.
Eppig
lost control
of his car,
which slid into traffic in the westbound lanes, instantly
killing Mt.
Airy Middle School teacher Geral-
dine Lane Wu, 42, and injuring her
teen-age daughter,
Min-Ii.
Eppig, of the unit block of Chase
Street, pleaded guilty to automobile manslaughter
and seconddegree
assault
in October
and
faces up to three years in jail:
"I'm not giving up," Geraldine's
husband
Laurence
Wu said after
the verdict was read' and the state
announced
it would try the two
men again. "It will take time, but
that's fine. 1 have no choice. It just
must be done.
"The case seemed to be very clear
and simple," he said. "Apparently
some jurors looked at the case u:_om
a very different
perspective.
I'm
hoping during the retrial they will
reach a guilty verdict."
When
the
jury
foreman
announced the verdict at 3:10 p.m.,
he told the court that even with
more time to deliberate,
the group
would not be able reach a verdict
on the two most serious charges,

that the trial was over. He said

Assistant

Attorney David Daggett also
paatsed the attentiveness of the

to:.:,bave found that the pair were
gntssly negligent, acting together,
and that those actions caused the
death of Geraldine -Wu and the
injuries
to Min-Ii.
"I was very satisfied that we got
gyiity verdicts on the underlying
ofIenses," Daggett said. "I understand their reluctance to convict on
the other: charges but we'll try
again. It's a very, very hard decision to come up with.
"This was particularly

cars didn't do the actual damage,
the killing."
Laurence Wu, who is an associate professor of philosophy and
religion at Western Maryland College, said one of the hardest parts
of the trial for him was part of
Hensen's testimony. Hensen said
that he had been through hard
times for the past five months.
Laurence said that Min-Ii, e
sophomore at Westminster High
School, may be physically healed
from 'the accident, but she has
trouble sleeping and her grades
have slipped.
"It offended me," he said. "It
seems clear he and the other two
have not given any thought at all
to what they' have done to me and
my family."
Daggett said he did not know
when the retrial would be held, but
it would be sometime next year.
Moylan ordered a pre-trial investigation for Hensen and Broadfoot
on the charges for which they were
convicted, but did not set a sentencingdate.
Broadfoot and Hensen were convicted of reckless driving, negligent driving, being in a race or
speed contest, exceeding the speed
limit in excess of 85 mph, failure to
drive at reasonable and prudent
speeds and unsafe passing.
Although many of the offenses
carry points, under Motor Vehicle
Administration rules, the maximum each man could receive for
all the charges is five points.
The MVA can suspend a license
for eight points and revoke a
license if 12 points are accumulated.
Whether or not Hensen and
Broadfoot would have their
licenses .suspended or revoked
depends on how many points each
currently has.
According to court records,
Hensen, of the 700 block of Old
Westminster Pike, had receivedze
points in the past three years for
speeding:Broadfoot, of the 8600
block of Oak.Road in Parkville, has
received 13 pointefor speeding
since 1991.
Daggett said he would argue that
they receive the maximum points
for the offenses in this case.
"Not only are we going to prosecute these fools for the two serious
charges, but we are going to do
everything we can do to make sure
they lose their license," Daggett
said. ..

and other offenses. But it told the
court it was "hopelessly deadlocked" on the manslaughter and
assault counts. Assistant state's
attorney David Daggett said the two
men will be tried again on those
charges.
.
Visiting Circuit Court Judge Dan
Moylan told the jury not to speak
about the case, so the reason for its
division can only be guessed. Mr.
Daggett said the jurors may have
had trouble finding the men guilty of
manslaughter because a third man
Mark Eppig, was driving the c~
that killed Ms. Wu.
. Eppig pleaded guilty to automobile manslaughter and seconddegree assault Oct. 27. He testified
against Hensen and Broadfoot on

dent occurred.
On June 1, they left the parking

went through a green light at the
intersection of Suffolk Road, Eppig
tned to pass the others. Just after
he took the lead, he spun out of control, crossed a grassy median strip
and careened into Ms. Wu's Mitsubishi
No one disputed those events.
Both defense lawyers admitted
their clients were speeding but
they argued lor estimates bel~w 85
mph. A state police accident reconstructionist said Eppig was going
between 102 mph and 120 mph when
he wiped out. An expert lor the
defense said police "grossly overestimated" speed.
Hensen told the court he was not
racing but following Broadfoot
although he had never met the BaI~
ttmore resident. Eppig did not !mow
Broadfoot either, but he and Hensen
said they were friends until a few
months before the trial. Broadfoot
did not testify.
The state argued all three men
are equally responsible.
Mr.

Now what?'
Another first-round defeat leaves
Green Terror back at square one
By PETER ZELLEN
Times Staff Writer
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - There
were high expectations for the
Western Maryland College football
team in 1998 - from the fans, the
school administration, the coaches'
and especially the players.
And some of those expectations
were fulfilled. The Green Terror
delivered a second consecutive
Centennial Conference title as well
as a second consecutive 10-0 regular season.
Coach Tim Keating's offense set
a school record for points scored
with 389, surpassing the previous
mark set last season. The Green
Terror defense continued to dominate conference opponents with a
quick secondary and a hardworking
group of defensive
linemen and linebackers.
The team also gained a little
more national recognition with its
second consecutive trip to the
NCAA Division III Tournament.
But for the second year in a row,
Western Maryland's
chances
ended when the playoffs began,
with the Green Terror losing, 3020, at Trinity (Texas) University in
the first round.
When Western Maryland qualified for the playoffs last year for
the first time in school history, it
was considered the first step for
the program. And even though the
1997 season ended with a 27-13
loss at Lycoming, the Green Terror
thought there would be advancements in 1998.
"Last year, when we were
playing against Lycoming, we got a
piece of the pie. But this year we
wanted the whole pie," senior
receiver Tim Herb said. "Our
expectations were that we repeat
as conference champs and go ali
the way to a national championship. Maybe there were certain
things in that game that couldn't
get us over the hump but this team
has a lot of good young players. I
think with time they're eventually
going to advance to the next level.
It's just unfortunate that my time
has run out here."
But with another first-round loss
in 1998, Western
Maryland
appeared to be status quo rather
than improving.
"We definitely weren't thinking
about playing just one game here,"
junior cornerback Anthony Burgos
said. "Our goal wasn't just to make
it to the playoffs, our goal was to
win the whole thing. Every day 100
of us are busting our butts to win
this. (Losing in the first round)
makes the season disappointing to
a certain degree. I'm sure everybody feels proud of what they
accomplished. I feel sorry for the
seniors, this was their shot."
Now the Trinity loss sets up even
higher expectations for 1999.
"It's a big hump to get over winning that first playoff game," said
safety Tom Lapato, aile of around. a
dozen senior the Green Terror will
lose. "They have the guys here and
probably some good recruits that
will let them make that step up.
I didn't think we did that bad
[against 'Itrinity]. This will give
them ammunition for next year.
We expected to be here. Now it's
time to expect (this team) to win:"

The Ward Memorial Arch I
• at Western Maryland I
College turns 100
By GREG
KOREN
TImes Staff Writer
T
he Ward Memorial Arch is
considered by many to be
the symbolic entrance to
Western Maryland College in
Westminster.
It stands on the southern
point of the campus, at Main
and Union streets.
Lots of people drive or walk by
it every day. But few walk
through it.
If you have, you probably did
it for the novelty of the experience. The free-standing, graniteand-marble arch is unique in
Carroll County.
.ew
Western Maryland stuTe"nts walk through the arch,
though, because -let's face it
- it's not that conveniently
located to anywhere on campus.
But a century ago, when it ,.
was built in memory of the eel- - i
lege's first president, Dr..Jw;nes
T. Ward, as a gift from his niece,
Ulie Norment Hurley, the arch
stood at the entrance of College
Drive between the President's "
House and McDaniel Hall, anA
lots of people ~alked ,thro~g~ it.
Thearch was also wide . ,
enough to accommodate the
common conveyance of the day:
the horse and buggy. But it
proved too narrow for Henry
Ford's four-wheeled contraption
to navigate easily.
So it was moved.
If you think about it, not too
many monuments are moved.
By and large, they're meant to
stand the test of time, not be
pushed aside by it.
But progress is seldom, if ever,
denied and so in the fall of 1936 I
the arc'h - too big and heavy to I

taken apart and moved, stone
by stone, to its present location.
To ensure it would be rebuilt
exactly as it was, local stone
mason Harry Ditman numbered
the stones, according to Phil

The stones were transported
to the new site, but reconstruction was delayed due to the
early and unexpected arrival of
winter.

Mortar then wasn't treated
with antifreeze as it is now,
Uhrig said, so Ditman decided
to postpone the job until spring.
When the mason and his crew

Another first-round defeat leaves
Green Terror back at square one
By PETER ZELLEN
Times Staff Writer
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - There
were high expectations for the
Western Maryland College football
team in 1998 - from the fans, the
school administration, the coaches
and especially the players.
And some of those expectations
were fulfilled. The Green Terror
delivered a second consecutive
Centennial Conference title as well
as a second consecutive 10-0 regular season.
Coach Tim Keating's offense set
a school record for pcinte.ecored
with 389, surpassing the previous
rkset last season. The Green
ror defense continued to domie conference opponents with a
quick secondary and a hardworking
group of defensive
linemen and linebackers.
The team also gained a little
more national recognition with its
second consecutive trip to the
NCAA Division III Tournament.
But for the second year in a row,
Western
Maryland's
chances
ended when the playoffs began,
with the Green Terror losing, 3020, at Trinity (Texas) University in
the first round.
When Western Maryland qualified for the playoffs last year for
the first time in school history, it
was considered the first step for
the program. And even though the
1997 season ended with a 27-13
«
•
loss at Lycoming, the Green Terror
thought there would be advancements in 1998.
"Last year, when we were
playing against Lycoming, we got a
piece of the pie. But this year we
wanted the whole pie," senior
receiver Tim Herb said. "Our
expectations were that we repeat
as conference champs and go aU
the way to a national championship. Maybe there were certain
things in that game that couldn't
get us over the hump but this team
has a lot of good young players. I
think with time they're eventually
going to advance to the next level.
It's just unfortunate that my time
has run out here."
But with another first-round loss
in 1998, Western
Maryland
appeared to be status quo rather
than improving.
"We definitely weren't thinking
about playing just one game here,"
junior cornerback Anthony Burgos
said. "Our goal wasn't just to make
it to the playoffs, our goal was to
win the whole thing. Every day 100
of us are busting our butts to win
this. (Losing in the first round)
makes the season disappointing to
a certain degree. I'm sure everybody feels proud of what they
accomplished. I feel sorry for the
seniors, this was their shot."
Now the Trinity loss sets up even
higher expectations for 1999.
"It's a big hump to get over winning that first playoff game," said
safety Tom Lepatc, one of around. a
dozen senior the Green Terror will
lose. "They have the guys here and
probably some good recruits that
will let them make that step up.
1 didn't think we did that bad
[against Trinity]. This will give
them ammunition for next year.
We expected to ~e here. No",: i~s

to be back but they've got a 19t of
younger guys coming in and this
to
program will be fine for years
come."
Sophomore defensive tackle
Bucky Booth was playing'his first
season for the Green 'ferrer in
1998 and is confident Western
Maryland's program will advance
further soon enough.
"I knew coming in we were ,
expected to do well, a couple of
magazines had us ranked pretty
high and one of them had us No.
1," Booth said. "That said people
had a lot of respect for us and they I
were thinking we wer;;-;;~lly.

ward to the_future. Western Mary- !
land, before the last two years, ::--.
really didn't do,much. I think. we're
right in that-middle stage and
we're ready to jump to the next
level."
S'ome on the team said they
wohldn't let another playoff loss
ruin what was
otherwise a successful campaign.
"I'm not disappointed at all with
the season," junior linebacker Matt
Meiklejohn said. "We had a great
year, went 10-0 and won the Centennial
Conference again. It is disappointing to lose - 1hate losing but there's got to be a winner and
it was Trinity ."
Keating said he wouldn't let it
affect him oat all.
"I think my young men played
like champions because they are
champions," Keating said. "We're
one of the IS best-teams in the
country."
