Disbar 1st, explainwhy later

To any lawyer facing disbarment,Maryland’s top court has sent a message:Have your bags packed before you cometo Annapolis.

The Court of Appeals has disbarrednine lawyers within 24 hours of hearingtheir disciplinary matters since Septem-ber 2013, when Judge Mary Ellen Barberabecame chief judge. By comparison, thelast term of Chief Judge Robert M. Bellsaw only one lawyer disbarred within 24hours of arguments in an attorney griev-ance matter.

The change went largely unremarkeduntil this month’s same-day disbarment ofMichael C. Hodes, formerly a prominentTowson-based lawyer who was strippedof his law license Oct. 7 over his handlingof some $270,000 a deceased client left inhis care.

Hodes’ immediate disbarment markeda tipping point of sorts: of seven AttorneyGrievance petitions the court heard in Oc-tober, Hodes’ was the fourth to be decidedwithin 24 hours. In other words, an imme-diate resolution “with opinion to be filedlater” was statistically more likely thannot.

Where Hogan, Brown stand on taxesBY BRYAN P. SEARS

[email protected]

If it comes out of your wallet it’s atax, and the two major candidates forgovernor are keenly aware that pocket-book issues are of keen interest to vot-ers.

After an early focus on social issues,Democratic Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brownhas joined Republican Larry Hogan in astretch-run debate on those concerns.

In the last three weeks, polls releasedby three different organizations have re-

ported that Marylanders, and women inparticular, are expressing concernsabout the state economy and taxes.

“Clearly this election is all about theeconomy,” said Mileah Kromer, directorof Sarah T. Hughes Field Politics Centerat Goucher College.

Sniffing out ‘superbugs’

BY ALISSA GULIN

[email protected]

When it comes to deadly infections, Ebola is certainly thevirus du jour.

But in the U.S., the risk of contracting the Ebola virus is mi-nuscule compared to the risk of becoming infected with one ofseveral antibiotic-resistant bacteria, sometimes known as “super-bugs.”

These nasty, highly virulent bacteria cause at least 2 millionillnesses and 23,000 deaths every year in this country alone, ac-cording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The interest rate pendulum has swungin favor of homeowners again.A steady decline in recent weeks

brought down the average rate for a 30-year fixed home loan below 4 percent to3.92 percent this week, the lowest level inmore than a year. As recently as January,the average was 4.53 percent, according tomortgage giant Freddie Mac.That’s good news for homeowners

who are locked in at a higher interest rateand weren’t able to refinance before ratesbegan ticking up last year. The decline inmortgage rates has spurred a surge inmortgage refinancing. Applicationsreached their highest level since Novem-ber 2013 last week, according to the Mort-gage Bankers Association.A reduction in your mortgage interest

rate can translate into significant savings.The key is ensuring they aren’t out-weighed by the charges and fees involved.“You want to be careful to do the math

and be sure you’re coming out ahead,”said Gary Kalman, executive vice presi-dent at the Center for Responsible Lend-ing.Here are some tips to help you deter-

mine whether refinancing your mortgage

will pay off:

Understand the feesLenders typically charge fees for the

mortgage broker’s services, credit reports,a home appraisal and title insurance,among other costs.To get a sense of the total costs, start

with the “good faith estimate.” It’s a formthat lenders are required to provide thatdetails the projected costs associated withthe loan.Although certain costs of the loan can’t

change, including the origination or bro-ker’s fee, costs such as title fees maychange until the loan is locked, meaningthe interest rate is set, notes Kurtis Baker,a wealth management advisor at CertifiedWealth Management & Investment LLC inPrinceton, New Jersey.

Get a low-enough rateThe general rule of thumb is that

borrowers need to shave at least 1.5 to2 percentage points from their rate inorder for the refinancing costs to beworthwhile.To qualify for the best rate on a

mortgage refinancing, borrowers musthave proof of income and have equity intheir home. About 20 percent equity is

ideal, though some lenders will requireas much as 30 percent for jumbo loans,said Greg McBride, chief financial ana-lyst at Bankrate.com.

Do the mathDon’t be fooled into thinking that

you’re getting a better deal when it’s sim-ply a new loan with a longer term, warnsTimothy Watters, a certified financial plan-ner at Watters Financial Services in Para-mus, New Jersey.To avoid this, tally up how much

you’re paying now in principal and interestand multiply it by the number of monthsleft on your loan. Then do the same calcu-lation using the figures under the newloan.

When will you break even?Even if your refinancing will lower

your monthly payment, it will take time torecoup your expenses. So think abouthow long you plan to stay in your home.For example, refinancing from a 5.5

percent interest rate to 4 percent wouldsave $180 a month on a $200,000 mort-gage. But the fees — averaging around$2,500 — mean it would take about 14months to break even.

Shop aroundGet quotes from several banks and ask

that they put their offers in writing, includ-ing an estimate for the closing cost andany extras, like loan points.Some lenders will allow you to roll the

refinancing fees into your loan, sparingyou upfront costs. However, this will in-crease how much you owe — and pay in-terest on — for the life of your loan.Ask that the lender provide you with a

comparison of the loan costs paid upfrontand rolled into the loan.

Watchdog: Redwood campaign contributions raise flags

BY ADAM BEDNAR

[email protected]

The new owners of Sparrows Pointhave made contributions to the Demo-cratic gubernatorial ticket that a gov-ernment watchdog group says raisesconcern.Redwood Capital Investments LLC,

the leader of a local investment groupthat purchased 3,100 acres of the site,and four subsidiaries including Spar-rows Point Development LLC, donated$4,000, the individual limit in a four-yearelection cycle, to the campaign ac-counts of Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, whois running for governor, his runningmate Howard County Executive KenUlman and a single donation to the cam-paign committee of Baltimore CountyExecutive Kevin Kamenetz, accordingto a disclosure form filed with the state.The campaign contributions total

$36,000 and do not violate state cam-paign finance law. But critics argue thecontributions, which were all made onthe same day in May, present an unflat-tering appearance. Sparrows Point Ter-minal LLC officially purchased theproperty in September, after negotia-tions to purchase the property were dis-closed in letters from lawyers sent to ajudge in July asking for an extension of

a temporary restraining order that al-lows wastewater treatment to passthrough two pipelines on the property.Redwood Capital Investments LLC

declined to comment on this story.Brown’s campaign manager did not re-spond to a request for comment.“It definitely raises flags. You have to

look at how the average citizen looks atit, that the money translates into a verypublic policy stance, and that’s our fearwith these big donations in the system.We’re always hearing ‘they don’t buyvotes’ but they certainly build these re-

lationships that can be leveraged intopolicy reforms,” said Jennifer Bevan-Dangle, executive director of CommonCause Maryland.Bevan-Dangle said relationships

where developers make large campaigndonations to candidates are “too com-mon” in Maryland. She argued the stateneeds to close a loophole in its cam-paign finance laws that allows limited li-ability corporations, even if they’re runby the same controlling interest, to con-tribute the legal maximum for each en-tity.

“We finally were able, in 2013, topass a bill that says LLCs would count... common ownership or control wouldbe treated as one entity. But provingcommon ownership is still going to beincredibly difficult because most oftheir records are sealed,” she saidAlthough the sale of the Sparrows

Point land was between private entities,the state maintains an interest becauseof environmental concerns as well as adesire to purchase some of the propertyto help expand operations at the Port ofBaltimore.Before the sale was closed, the de-

veloper negotiated an agreement withthe Maryland Department of Environ-ment to provide $48 million in financialassurances for the cleanup of the for-mer steel making site. The cleanup is es-timated to cost about $51 million. TheMaryland Port Administration also re-mains interested in purchasing a por-tion of the property called Coke Pointto build a containment facility fordredge spoil and possibly a port facility.On Thursday, representatives from

Sparrows Point Terminal LLC alongwith Brown, Kamenetz and Rep. DutchRuppersberger held an event toutingthe economic benefits of redevelopingthe site as an advanced manufacturinghub. The event, which coincided withthe first day of early voting, was held atthe site in Baltimore County, a jurisdic-tion that played a crucial role in electingGov. Martin O’Malley in 2006 and 2010and in 2002 former Gov. Robert L.Ehrlich Jr., the first Republican in 36years to be elected governor.

Aberdeen-based unit heading to Liberia(AP) An Aberdeen-based U.S. military mobile laboratorydesigned to assess and combat biological and chemicalthreats is preparing for its first deployment to Liberia,where a team of soldiers and scientists will test for Ebola.The 1st Area Medical Laboratory will deploy to Liberiathis week. Twenty-two soldiers, some of whom are bio-chemists, microbiologists and laboratory technicians,will be on the mission.

Fewer women viewing NFL(Bloomberg) Some women are starting to tune out theNFL as it deals with the fallout from its mishandling ofdomestic-abuse incidents involving players. Early evi-dence shows that there has been a dropoff in TV viewer-ship of games by women, who in recent years have beenthe NFL’s fastest-growing fan segment. Ebiquity Plc, amedia marketing and analytics firm, reports that femaleviewership is down 4 percent for Sunday games as com-pared with 2013 and down 5 percent for Monday nightgames. Last year, female viewership jumped 20 percenton Sundays as compared to 2012 and was up 13 percenton Monday nights. Ebiquity looked at viewership fromAug. 1 to Sept. 30 — including preseason games and thefirst four weeks of the regular season — based on NielsenCo. data. That period covers shortly after former Balti-more Ravens running back Ray Rice received his originaltwo-game NFL penalty and then his subsequent indefinitesuspension after a video showing him punching his fi-ancee became public.

P&G wants to spin off Duracell(AP) Procter & Gamble plans to make Duracell a stand-alone company. The world’s largest consumer productsmaker, which acquired Duracell in 2005, has been trim-ming its product lineup to focus on its top performers.After it finishes jettisoning more than half its brandsaround the globe over the next year or two, P&G said itwill be left with about 70 to 80 brands. If a split-off of Du-racell occurs, P&G said its shareholders would have theoption of exchanging some, none or all of their P&Gshares for shares of the new Duracell company. JonMoeller, the company’s chief financial officer, said duringa call with reporters that Duracell is an “attractive” busi-ness that generates about $2 billion a year in sales. Buthe said P&G wants to focus on products that are “evenmore attractive.” P&G also makes Tide detergent, Pam-pers diapers and Olay skin care.

ANNAPOLIS – After Maryland is giventhe OK from the federal government, pa-tients will be able to walk into a dispen-sary, show their card to the retailer andpick up their medical marijuana prescrip-tion.

But before medicinal cannabis everchanges hands from retailer to consumer,it has already been through an extensivetrek.

There is a complex process betweenthe time a marijuana seed is planted andwhen the consumer picks up a prescrip-tion at the counter.

That whole intermediate process isone of the factors delaying Maryland’s im-plementation of medical marijuana.

The marijuana commissionThe crowd at the state’s medical mar-

ijuana commission meetings in Annapolison Sept. 9 and Sept. 23 consisted mostlyof growers, dispensers and consultingfirm representatives who were eager tojoin the new program. Since September2013, the 15-member commission hasheld 15 meetings to discuss details aboutMaryland’s future medical cannabis in-dustry.

Dispensers, growers and patients inneed of medicinal marijuana are growingmore and more restless with each passingcommission meeting.

Distribution of medical marijuana inMaryland is not expected to start untilearly 2016.

“I can see recreational marijuanabeing legalized before medical marijuana

is finalized in Maryland,” said Judy Pentz,executive director of the state chapter ofNORML (National Organization for theReform of Marijuana Laws). “The com-mission seems stuck in the reefer mad-ness era.”

Sharon Bloom, executive director ofthe commission, said the wait is for avalid reason.

“There are no obstacles blocking us,only a regulatory process that needs to befollowed and the informal process prior,”Bloom said. The commission is still work-ing on the “informal process” of gettingMaryland’s medical marijuana industryplans and regulations straightened out be-fore they are sent to the federal govern-ment.

“If we do a job that the (U.S.) attorneygeneral and the (Drug EnforcementAgency) reject, we’re back to groundzero,” said Eric Sterling, a member of thecommission and a lawyer with over 30years of experience working on medicalmarijuana issues.

Maryland is one of 23 states in whichmedical marijuana is legal.

According to the commission’s latestdraft of regulations, grower applicationfees in Maryland are not to exceed $6,000,but annual license fees for growers are$125,000. Licensing fees for dispensariesare $40,000 a year.

In Colorado, the application fees fordispensaries can be as high as $15,000, de-pending on what type of distributor it is.Licensing fees can cost up to $13,200.

In Washington state, marijuana pro-ducers must pay an annual fee of $1,000and a $250 application fee. Retailers mustpay the same fees.

Though a few members of the com-

mission admitted Maryland’s fees seemhigh, especially for small businesses,Bloom maintained they are not nego-tiable.

“We need to have the money to sup-port our program,” Bloom said. “Thesefees are in line with other states with asimilar number of dispensers. We weregiven a rather limited budget and we’redoing the best we can.”

Cannabis cultivationDepending on the state, the marijuana

seed or cutting could start out in farm soilor in a greenhouse or a highly securedwarehouse.

Cloning is a method of breeding plantsby cutting and rooting a healthy shoot. Aclone has one parent and is geneticallyidentical to it. The donor plant is knownas a “mother plant.”

Growers use the cloning method for avariety of reasons, according to Kris Her-mes, the media specialist at Americansfor Safe Access, a medical marijuana ad-vocacy group based in California andWashington, D.C.

Firstly, it ensures the gender of theplant, which is “immensely important,”Hermes said.

Growers prefer unpollenated femaleplants because they produce the most po-tent “smokeable buds” filled with Tetrahy-drocannabinol, or THC, the principalchemical in cannabis that makes usersfeel high. Male plants produce no budsand minimal THC, according to Hermes.

Cloning also enables growers to easilyproduce “large quantities of new plants,”Hermes said.

Cuttings or clones usually cost be-tween $6 and $15 apiece, according toBen Holmes, an experienced cannabiscultivator and founder of CentennialSeeds in Denver.

Far fewer cultivators use seeds nowthan in previous years, with the exceptionof those who are trying to create hybridstrains, according to Hermes. These hy-brids are combinations of differentstrains, catered to the specific symptomsof patients. Certain strains, such as Char-lotte’s Web, contain more THC than oth-ers and are more

Holmes said he believes the seed in-dustry will take off as marijuana lawsloosen up across the country.

Yesterday’s solution:

SUDOKUHere’s how it works:Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, bro-ken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only oncein each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which thenumbers will appear by using numeric clues already provided in the boxes.The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle.

A poll conducted by the collegeearlier this month reported thatnearly 72 percent of people surveyedbelieved they were in the same finan-cial situation or worse off than theywere just a year ago.From rolling back some or all of

the 40 taxes raised under Gov. MartinO’Malley to blue-ribbon tax commis-sions and no-new-tax pledges, bothBrown and Hogan are making prom-ises that would allow businesses andresidents to keep more of their hard-earned dollars.Here is where the candidates

stand on taxes in Maryland based on

interviews with Hogan and in the caseof Brown, who did not respond to re-quests for interviews, statementsmade in previous interviews, debatesand other public appearances.For nearly three years, Hogan has

run on the issue of high taxes in thestate both through his Change Mary-land organization, which recently hasmorphed into his political campaign.“We need to roll back as many of

these 40 tax increases as we can,”Hogan said.But the details of those rollbacks

— which taxes, how much, and when— remain unclear.One unpopular tax that may not

change under Hogan is the state gas

tax.Last year, the General

Assembly General Assembly passed aphased-in, 20-cent increase on thestate gas tax — the first such increasein 20 years — as well as annual auto-matic increases in the tax to keeppace with inflation.In an interview last week, Hogan

said the backlog of roads projectsaround the state makes it difficult tocut the tax.“The only way we’re going to get

any of this fixed is with the revenuethat will come in,” Hogan said.One reduction Hogan has said he

does favor is a reduction in the statecorporate tax. Currently, the ratestands at 8.25 percent and a numberof Republicans have pointed to Vir-ginia’s 6 percent corporate rate as animpediment to retaining companies inMaryland and luring more to the state.Hogan has not specified how much

he would seek to cut the tax, whichwould ultimately require the approvalof the Democratic-controlled GeneralAssembly.

Earlier this year, Sen. Richard Col-burn, R-Eastern Shore, proposed re-ducing the state corporate tax tomatch Virginia’s over a period of fiveyears.Brown has criticized Hogan’s call

to reduce the corporate tax rate as a“$300 million giveaway to the smallestgroups of the largest corporations.”The figure Brown cites tracks withthe $336 million in reduced revenueprojected in a legislative analysis ofColburn’s bill.Brown has defended the tax in-

creases enacted in the last eight yearsas necessary.“Marylanders did their part to pro-

tect our schools, safe neighborhoodsand the environment all so we couldensure that we have a vibrant econ-

omy and communities to attract fam-ilies and businesses to Maryland,”Brown said during an October 7 de-bate.Brown said he agrees with the

need for finding ways to lessen thetax burden for middle-class residentsin the form of targeted tax breaks forsmall businesses.A number of Democrats in the last

year have suggested that there may beroom for such relief in changing therates that affect those businesses,most of which are registered as Chap-ter S corporations and pay the sametax rates as individuals.Additionally, Brown has proposed

the appointment of a commission tomake recommendations on changingthe tax structure.

“Our tax code should reflect ourvalues, including a commitment toproviding relief for working and mid-dle-class families; encouraging em-ployers to create jobs in Maryland;and protecting our investments in ed-ucation, safety, the environment, andhealth care,” Brown writes in a cam-paign proposal.Brown said that commission

would be created within the first 100days of his administration and makerecommendations for legislation intime for the 2016 General Assemblysession.Brown has also gone so far as to

promise that he will not raise taxes.“Let me be clear, I don’t see the

need, nor as governor will I raisetaxes in a Brown-Ulman administra-tion,” said Brown, a declaration hemade in two separate debates withHogan earlier this month.The promise could paint Brown

into a corner when it comes to taxesincreases he’d like to support, such asthe tax on tobacco, and taxes thatmay need to be increased, such as thestate property tax that is used tocover state bonds.A growing reliance on borrowing

is creating a widening gap in what theproperty tax can cover. The next gov-ernor will likely have to find a way tocover an expected budget deficitalong with a projected $371 million indebt service.Without a property tax increase or

without cuts in state programs, themoney to cover the shortage wouldcome from the state general fund.That potential shortfall is projected togrow to $436 million in fiscal 2017,$493 million in fiscal 2018 and $519million in fiscal 2019, according to areport this year from the Marylandtreasurer.

What College Means to Me: College is a ticket out, like a key to a door with limitless opportunities behind it. Going to college allowed me to go to places I would have never been, meet people I would have never met, and experience activities I would have never even known about. College not only gives kids a chance to expand their minds, but also provides them with the time and space to discover themselves. This skinny kid from East Baltimore found himself in college, and uncovered a passion inside, fighting for the most vulnerable in our criminal justice system, that would become the driving force for the rest of his career. I am forever thankful for that, and eternally grateful to CollegeBound for helping to make it happen.

The Lawyers’ Campaign for CollegeBound: For 26 years, CollegeBound has helped tens of thousands of low-income and first-generation Baltimore City students realize their dreams of a college education.

LAWYERs' CAMPAIGN

For most people, the odds of becom-ing infected are low, but in hospitals andother health care settings antibiotic-resis-tant bacteria are a serious threat.That was the message President

Barack Obama delivered last month whenhe signed an executive order directingpublic health officials and other stakehold-ers to develop a plan for reducing theemergence and spread of antibiotic-resis-tant bacteria.Obama’s call to action hit home for

Evan Jones, who, as CEO of Gaithersburg-based OpGen Inc., has made a career out

of stamping out superbugs.Earlier this year, OpGen unveiled a di-

agnostic test that enables hospitals to rap-idly screen patients for seven of the mostdangerous superbugs — or, more accu-rately, multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs) — using just one patient swab.Called the Acuitas MDRO test, it would

enable hospitals to identify which patientsare carrying the bacteria. Then, providerscould isolate those patients to protect oth-ers. And, they’d know not to prescribe an-tibiotics for those patients, which wouldexacerbate the bacterium’s resistance tothe drugs.It’s a genetic test, which means it de-

tects genes associated with those sevendrug-resistant bacteria. The Acuitas testcan deliver results overnight, Jones said,whereas traditional bacterial cultures (themethod most commonly used to detect in-fections) take several days.Jones said about six hospitals in the

mid-Atlantic region are piloting the tests,though he declined to say which ones. Thecompany is now focused on persuadingmore hospitals to jump on board and buythem.Sounds like an easy sell, right? Not

necessarily.The tests are intended to screen entire

groups of people admitted to a hospital orhospital unit, regardless of whether theyexhibit symptoms. It’s a proactive ap-proach called active surveillance, and noteveryone in the medical community thinksit’s necessary or worthwhile.“Active surveillance has been dis-

cussed for decades,” said Dr. Anthony Har-ris, medical director of infection control atthe University of Maryland Medical Cen-ter. “It’s been used in some circles, andover the years it’s become popular, thenunpopular, and now it’s starting to rise inpopularity again.”Harris declined to comment specifi-

cally about OpGen’s Acuitas test becauseUMMC is involved in the pilots. He did saythat active surveillance in general has “thepotential for promise,” but for various rea-sons, it “hasn’t taken off or been widelyembraced.”For starters, the testing is expensive,

requires additional manpower and doesn’tdirectly generate new revenue.“[Hospital executives] will buy a $2

million robot to perform surgery with noevidence it improves patient outcomes

with the hope they can advertise it to getmore patients,” Harris said. “Whereas ifthe hospital says, ‘Look, we have this testfor preventing the rapid spread of multi-drug resistant bacteria,’ no patient is goingto flock to that hospital, so it’s not going toincrease revenue.”New regulations in Maryland might

change that dynamic, Harris said. Hospi-tals can benefit financially if they reducethe number of hospital-acquired infec-tions. So, testing for MDROs could savemoney indirectly by prompting hospitalsto isolate patients at risk of infecting oth-ers.Additionally, Obama’s executive order

could result in increased funding for epi-demiology departments and related re-search, Harris said. The order explicitlyasked stakeholders to “strengthen surveil-lance efforts” and to “develop and pro-mote the use of new, rapid diagnostictechnologies.”“It’s important that the president rec-

ognized this issue,” Jones said. “We thinkthis is how things will work in the future,that hospitals will get out in front, and testpatients proactively to prevent transmis-sion of hospital-acquired infections, andfor people already infected, work to havethe best possible outcomes.”With more funding and more aware-

ness of the issue, rapid testing could takeoff within a decade, Harris said.“People are concerned about antibiotic

resistance, but they don’t realize that thepeople in charge of infection control inhospitals are generally incredibly under-funded,” Harris said. “So if the public isconcerned about these infections, aboutEbola, they have to start demanding thatmore money be put toward these tech-nologies.”

HAGERSTOWN — John Andersonand James Jones walked into theirclassroom at the Maryland CorrectionalTraining Center in Hagerstown on a re-cent morning wearing their jumpsuits tostart another day of work. But the inmates’ jumpsuits were

thick, protective body suits with a meshhead cover, and their classroom was ac-tually a yard— filled with thousands ofbuzzing bees.Two correctional officers, Cpl.

Chuck Neikirk and Lt. Jeff Golden, whoare known around the prison as “masterbeekeepers,” are leading the new bee-keeping program at the correctional fa-cility. Neikirk said that the wardenapproached them about starting up aclass after finding out that the two keptbees in their spare time.The program started in August 2013

with a gift of about 100,000 bees from abee apiary in Germantown. The correc-tional officers teach the inmates how tobecome beekeepers, about the environ-mental impact of the bees and how toprocess honey. The program harvested its first

batch of honey — almost five gallons ofit — in August 2014. According toNeikirk, some of the honey went to theprison’s kitchen while some of it wentto food banks in Maryland.

Population in declineIt’s a precarious situation for bees

across the country. The bee popula-tion has declined from about 6 millioncolonies in 1947 to about 2.5 milliontoday, the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture reported in 2012.Experts point to a population loss

called Colony Collapse Disorder, inwhich the queen bee survives, but theadult bees that support her vanish.The USDA said farmers began report-ing significant colony losses in 2006.Causes could include pesticides, par-asites or global warming.Dennis vanEngelsdorp, an assis-

tant professor in the University ofMaryland’s entomology department,said he hasn’t seen Colony CollapseDisorder in colonies he’s looked at re-cently. But nationwide, the loss ratefor colonies has been about 30 per-cent.And the loss is steeper in Maryland

than in other parts of the country, vanEngelsdorp said. It’s harder for bees to find in food

in Maryland than in areas wherefarms are plentiful, such as the Mid-west. And many beekeepers in Mary-land do not take steps to preventmites that harm the bees, vanEngels-dorp said. “It’s important to realize that bees

are essential to our food supply,” va-nEngelsdorp said.Without bees, the world is in trou-

ble. Each year, more than $15 billionin U.S. crops and vegetables are pol-linated by bees, including apples,berries and cucumbers, the NationalResources Defense Council reportedin 2011. And the global economic costof the bee decline has been estimatedas high as $5.7 billion per year, theNRDC said.

Maryland’s top court has unani-mously ordered the disbarment of aTowson-based solo practitioner afterconcluding he bounced checks toclients and failed to “competently anddiligently” pursue collection cases andcivil claims for clients.Jason Robin Gelb had drawn the

checks on his client trust account,which contained the clients’ ownmoney, the Court of Appeals held. Thetop court found he lacked sufficientfunds in the account because he hadmisappropriated the earmarked money,a clear violation of the MarylandLawyers’ Rules of Professional Con-duct.Gelb, who was admitted to practice

in Maryland in 2006, also violated therules by failing to pursue collectionclaims for several bail-bond company

clients, potentially costing them thou-sands of dollars, the court said.“While the misappropriation of

client funds alone will result in disbar-ment in the absence of compelling ex-tenuating circumstances, here [Gelb’s]misconduct in misappropriating fundsis exacerbated by multiple other viola-tions, including his failure to providecompetent representation to his clients,his failure to prosecute diligently hisclients’ claims and his failure to commu-nicate adequately with his clients ontheir respective matters,” Chief JudgeMary Ellen Barbera wrote for the highcourt.“These combined violations create

an even stronger case for disbarment,”she added. “Respondent did not offer,nor did the hearing judge find, any mit-igating circumstances, compelling orotherwise, that would justify a lightersanction.”The telephone number of Gelb’s

Towson office is “not in service,” ac-cording to a telephone company record-ing.Bar Counsel Glenn M. Grossman

was out of the office Friday and unavail-able for comment, according to both anaide and an automatic reply to an email

message sent to him. Gelb’s disbarment followed an inves-

tigation by the Attorney GrievanceCommission, which had received com-plaints from three of his former clients:Calvin Jones, owner of Mr. Bail Bondsand Elite Bail Bonds; Alan Jones Jr.,owner of 410 Bail Bonds LLC; andStephanie Dress, who had hired Gelbafter being in a car crash. The Court of Appeals referred the

disciplinary matter to Carroll CountyCircuit Judge J. Barry Hughes for ahearing and findings of fact.

Gelb attended neither that hearingon Dec. 13 nor a scheduled Sept. 4 oralargument on his disciplinary matter be-fore the high court, according to Bar-bera’s opinion. The case is Attorney Grievance

Commission v. Jason Robin Gelb,Misc. Docket AG No. 36, SeptemberTerm 2013.

Explanations givenThe Court of Appeals also filed

unanimous opinions on Wednesday ex-plaining why it had issued one-page dis-barment orders against two attorneysthe same day it heard arguments ontheir disciplinary cases.

The high court ordered MichaelFrancis Barnett’s disbarment on Oct. 3after concluding he had forged a client’ssignature on an affidavit of indigency,failed to notify a client of hearing datesand made “material misrepresenta-tions” to bar counsel during its investi-gation of his conduct, Judge Shirley M.Watts wrote in the court’s opinion in At-torney Grievance Commission v.Michael Francis Barnett, Misc. DocketAG No. 28, September Term 2013.The court ordered Thomas Wesley

Felder II’s disbarment on Sept. 11, say-ing he had failed to perform legal serv-ices for clients after accepting aretainer, had ignored clients’ requestsfor updates, had abandoned representa-tion without communication and didnot maintain his clients’ funds in trust,Judge Sally D. Adkins wrote in thecourt’s opinion in Attorney GrievanceCommission v. Thomas Wesley FelderII, Misc. Docket AG No. 33, SeptemberTerm 2013. The same-day sanctions were

among nine the court has issued sinceSeptember 2013, when Chief JudgeMary Ellen Barbera took the reins atthe top court; see related story, page1A.

LAW BRIEFS

BY GREG STOHR

Bloomberg

It’s been a weird month at the U.S.Supreme Court. The oldest justicepulls an all-nighter. Another acciden-tally stops gay weddings in Nevada.And the court makes its mark onsame-sex marriage, abortion and theNovember election without offeringany explanation.

Maybe Chief Justice John Robertswanted to mix things up as he beganhis 10th term.

The oddities started on the firstMonday of October, the term’s tradi-tional kickoff day. At 9:30 a.m. thepress corps was handed what lookedto be a routine list of orders. Re-porters soon realized that more than30 pages were missing.

Those pages turned out to containsurprising news: The court, withoutcomment, was letting gay marriagestart in as many as 11 more states.

Two days later, a building thatcloses to the public at 4:30 p.m.turned into Night Court. At 6:50 p.m.on Oct. 8 the court blocked same-dayvoter registration in North Carolina.The coming days saw a 9 p.m. orderhalting Wisconsin’s voter-ID law and

a 6:30 p.m. order stopping Texas’snew abortion restrictions. In eachcase, the majority gave no reasoning.

Along the way, Justice AnthonyKennedy issued what he thought wasa temporary halt to the start of gaymarriage in Idaho, whose governorwas seeking a delay. The hitch wasthat the order contained a case num-ber that also made it applicable to Ne-vada, where officials were poised tostart issuing licenses.

Kennedy issued a corrected orderlater that day, clearing weddings tobegin in Nevada. The court eventuallylifted the Idaho stay as well.

Notorious GinsburgFinally, there was Ruth Bader

Ginsburg, the 81-year-old justice whoin liberal circles has become a hero-ine, fondly nicknamed “notoriousR.B.G.”

Displeased that the court waspoised to issue an election- relatedorder that would let Texas requirephoto IDs at the polls, Ginsburg set towork on a dissent that took almostuntil dawn on a Saturday morning.The court released the order and dis-sent at 5:05 a.m. on Oct. 18.

At a public appearance the nextday, Ginsburg laughed when asked

why it took her until the wee hours.With the last brief filed less than 24hours earlier, “there wasn’t muchtime to write the dissent,” she said.

As it turns out, Ginsburg mighthave benefited from a little moretime. This week, the court deleted asentence in her opinion that had in-correctly said Texas wouldn’t acceptID cards issued by the Department ofVeterans’ Affairs.

The announcement, issued atGinsburg’s instruction, was unprece-dented. Then again, at the SupremeCourt this month, it was practicallybusiness as usual.

The threats to bees nationwide arefurther motivating the prison’s pro-gram. Prisons in states including Ore-gon, Texas and Washington haveimplemented similar beekeeping pro-grams.

“The bees are such an integral partof the environment,” Neikirk said.“It’s essential for pollination. Andwithout pollination, things just die.”

Skills and societal lessonsThe pollinators have had an im-

pact on the inmates at the prison, whocheck on the bees once weekly.

“I was ignorant about the bees,”Anderson said. “I was scared of them.

They’re like spiders. They’re scary,but what most people don’t know ishow important they are to the envi-ronment and the ecosystem.”

But aside from teaching the in-mates about maintaining the bee pop-ulation, the correctional facilityhopes the program helps inmates pre-pare for life after prison.

“I’m very encouraged by what I’veseen,” said Gerard Shields, thespokesman for the Maryland Dept. ofPublic Safety and Correctional Serv-ices. “I remember one of the guardstelling me that the inmates, he said,‘The thing I’ve learned is that beeswork in a society. They work togetherand they know their jobs. And we asa society should be doing the same

things.”Anderson said he is looking for-

ward to using his new skills to getback on track once he’s released fromthe prison.

“I wouldn’t mind having a hive inmy backyard, teaching my son how tomaintain them and to make honey,”Anderson said. “You can make somemoney with honey.”

Jones agrees, and said he knowshis lessons learned in prison will pushhim forward.

“I know I wasn’t on a good path inmy past life,” Jones said. “Me learningso much in Hagerstown is actuallygoing to help me stay away from thestreets and give me a new attitude onthings.”

Odd October: High court turns into night court Opening month ofterm was anything but business as usual

Prison bees >> Inmates overcome fear, learn respectContinued from 11A

The switch to a quick turnaround hasnot gone unnoticed at the Attorney Griev-ance Commission, whose Bar Counsel in-vestigates and seeks sanctions againstattorneys accused of wrongdoing.

“The Office of Bar Counsel appreci-ates the expedited dispositions,” saidDeputy Bar Counsel Raymond A. Hein.

Hein and others also noted that fastresolution also advances the stated goalof the disciplinary process: not to punishthe attorney, but to protect the public.

“If the court has concluded that agiven attorney is a danger to the public,why wait to remove them from the prac-tice of law?” said Irwin R. Kramer, whohas often represented lawyers facing dis-ciplinary action.

Not including disbarments by consent,the Barbera Court has disbarred 20lawyers in petitions it heard since the startof the September 2013 Term, according toorders and opinions listed on the court’s

website. “It does seem

that when there is aunanimous vote todisbar, they go rightahead and issue theopinion,” said StevenM. Klepper, editor-in-chief of the MarylandAppellate Blog, whichtracks the goings onof the Court of Ap-peals.

All told, theBarbera Court has heard 41 attorneygrievance cases since September 2013. Asof Friday, there were seven such cases

awaiting resolution, all of them heard be-tween Sept. 3 and Oct. 7. Excluding theundecided cases as well as consent sanc-tions, the Barbera Court’s average wait fora decision in an attorney grievance caseso far is 37.4 days.

By contrast, the court heard 23 attor-ney grievance cases in the September2012 term, Bell’s last. Not counting TiffanyAustin, who consented to disbarmentthree weeks after argument, the BellCourt disbarred 11 lawyers, one on thesame day as it heard arguments. Overall,the average wait for resolution of an at-torney grievance case in Bell’s last termwas 97.5 days. That compared to fivemonths for all types of cases, according

to The Daily Record’s prior reports on thelengthy wait for opinions during Bell’stenure.

The current court’s faster resolutionsare in line with Barbera’s stated goal ofhaving the Court of Appeals decide all ofthe cases it hears in a term by the last dayof that term, a standard she reached lastyear and has pledged to uphold.

“Efficiency is clearly proving to be ahallmark of Chief Judge Barbera’s court,”said Klepper, a principal at Kramon &Graham P.A. in Baltimore.

Barbera was away at a judicial confer-ence last week and could not be reachedfor comment.

Kramer, of Kramer & Connolly in Reis-

terstown, said his only concern about im-mediate disbarments was that it giveslawyers no time to wind down their prac-tice, which could harm existing clients.Hodes, in an interview last week with TheDaily Record, said he decided to an-nounce his retirement as a lawyer Oct. 1figuring he would have a couple weeks towind down his practice before the courtweighed in on his disciplinary matter.

Knowing the top court could takeswift action would not impact howKramer prepared or presented his case tothe judges, he added.

“If a client is not worthy of disbar-ment, I’d make the same argument to theCourt of Appeals,” Kramer said.

The Eastern Shore of Maryland con-sists of nine rural and bucolic countiesand is home to less than one percent of thestate’s lawyers. Yet the demand for civillegal services to help low-income peopleis high, especially with the recession andhigh unemployment.So what is a rural pro bono program to

do?

At Mid-Shore Pro Bono, founded in2005 to provide free and low-cost legalservices to low-income people, there’s nosingle answer.“The Eastern Shore is such a unique

place,” said Sandy Brown, executive direc-tor of the nonprofit located in Easton.“There are no large cities or law schools.And there’s a huge disparity of wealth,with both the very rich and the very poorliving here. “You can see abandoned houses in

Caroline County and private jets in Eas-ton,” she said. “It’s frustrating to run a legalservices program that serves an invisiblepopulation to the general public.”Add to that the challenge of rural ge-

ography and the lack of public transporta-tion.“While this is a lovely vacation destina-

tion, there are still critical needs,” Brown

continued. “But you can’t track what youdon’t know or can’t see. That’s one reasonwe put a laptop in our lobby — for peoplewho don’t have access to a computer.”

Brown, who joined MSPB six yearsago this fall, said her first priority is gettinglawyers to volunteer. “It’s mostly smallfirms on the Shore, and I tap the same at-torneys over and over,” she said. “I try toengage as many like-minded people aspossible.”Last year, MSPB referred more than

250 people to pro bono attorneys, whileproviding free legal advice to over 1,300people at legal clinics in theefive countiesthe program covers — Talbot, Kent,Queen Anne’s, Caroline, and Dorchester.That same year, MSPB facilitated

nearly 6,000 hours of pro bono service val-ued at almost $2 million.“Our job is to place the cases and con-

nect people with relevant resources, andwe do it in a multitude of ways,” Brownsaid. “The free legal clinics are often amore appealing option to a busy attor-ney—to give someone brief advice ratherthan to represent them in court.”It doesn’t hurt her recruiting efforts

that the Shore is a retirement haven forlawyers.“The retired lawyers on our pro bono

panel love the clinics,” Brown said. “Theycan volunteer even if they weren’t litiga-tors or had worked for the government.The clinics are by appointment, and we donice triage here. It’s a way to give peoplewhat they need.”A pending Maryland Rule change will

allow out-of-state attorneys to do probono work for programs funded by theMaryland Legal Services Corp., MSPB’slargest funder. “That will help immensely,”

Brown added. “We have a lot of D.C.lawyers living here.”Other programs offered by MSPB in-

clude the Judicare Family Law Project(which pays lawyers a reduced $80 anhour rate for contested family law cases),the Foreclosure Prevention Pro BonoProject (to train and place pro bonolawyers to help people facing foreclo-sure), and the Debtor Assistance Project(which provides debtors with a free, half-hour consultation with a bankruptcy attor-ney).Mid-Shore also manages the Con-

sumer Protection Project in collaborationwith the Pro Bono Resource Center; theCollaborative Practice Reduced Fee Proj-ect, which pays lawyers a reduced fee toresolve domestic issues outside of court;the Community Conferencing Project,where a trained facilitator brings togethervictims and offenders to resolve a matter;and the Women’s Family Law Project,which provides additional support forwomen seeking legal help in family lawdisputes.Finding clients is not a problem.“We have clients coming to our office

every day,” Brown said. “With only twofull-time staff members, plus our projectcoordinators, we are always busy. Wework together as a team to make sureevery client is connected to a resource.”By type of case handled, family law is

always the biggest, Brown said. “We’reseeing lots of repeats, which is hard tomanage when there are so many othersasking for help. It’s a challenge to say noto them.”Reflecting the rural nature of the

Shore, the judiciary and private bar arevery supportive.“Members of the judiciary sit on our

advisory board and recognize the need forlocal attorneys to take pro bono cases,”Brown said. “We understand that notevery attorney has the ability to take acase involving direct representation, sowe created many opportunities for themto do pro bono. It doesn’t have to be a con-tested custody case. You can volunteer ina clinic and help get an issue resolved in30 minutes.”In spite of funding challenges and the

relative dearth of attorneys, MSPB is suc-cessful in its mission to match clients tovolunteer attorneys.“We funneled over 1,800 intakes last

year — all of them calls for service,”Brown said. “We try our damndest toplace them or just get them in a clinic. Ourgoal is to have a cadre of attorneys whocould call and walk them through their is-sues.“The reason we do so well is we’re so

engaged in our community,” she contin-ued. “While we have a lean staff, we allback each other up. I still pick up thephone to field an intake. We let attorneysuse our office to meet with clients, sincewe’re centrally located. It’s convenient. Weconsider ourselves a partner.”But two needs won’t go away, Brown

added.“We need more attorneys who live or

retired to the Eastern Shore to volunteerand, as with most nonprofits, we need do-nations and community support.” Joe Surkiewicz is director of communica-tions at the Homeless Persons Representa-tion Project in Baltimore. His email [email protected].

The Property will be

sold subject to (i) all conditions, liens, restrictions, rights of redemption, covenants, encumbrances and agreements of record that take priority over the Deed of Trust; and (ii) such state of facts that an accurate survey or physical inspection of the Prop-erty might disclose.

A deposit in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) shall be required at the time and place of sale, payable by cashier’s check drawn on a bank acceptable to the Substitute Trustees, in their discretion. The deposit will not earn interest in the hands of the Substitute Trustees. The deposit must be increased to 10% of the purchase price within two (2) business days following the sale, in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check, by delivery to the Substitute Trustees. The purchaser shall pay the balance due in cash, certified or cashier’s check within twenty (20) days following entry of an order ratifying the sale by the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, unless such period is extended by the Substitute Trustees, their successors and assigns, at their discretion. Interest shall be paid on the unpaid purchase money by the purchaser at the rate of 7.00% per annum from date of sale to date of settlement. The party secured by the Deed of Trust (the “Secured Party”) or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof, or an entity under common control with the Secured Party, if a bidder, shall not be required to post a deposit or to pay interest on the unpaid purchase money. All water and sewer charges, and all other public charges and assessments against the Property payable on an annual basis, including sanitary and/or metropolitan district charges, if any, shall be the responsibility of the purchaser, and there shall be no adjustment therefor. The purchaser shall pay all closing costs of the sale, including recordation, sales, transfer and agricultural land transfer taxes. All obligations of purchaser hereunder shall survive closing and delivery of the deed. The purchaser (other than the Secured Party) shall sign a contract including this advertisement and other terms. Time is of the essence. The purchaser shall deliver to the Substitute Trustees, within one (1) business day following the sale, an insurance certificate confirming that the purchaser has obtained liability insurance coverage on the Property, naming the Substitute Trustees and Secured Party as additional insured parties on the policy, and otherwise in form and content acceptable to the Substitute Trustees. The failure of the purchaser to provide such evidence of insurance coverage shall constitute grounds for nullifying and voiding the sale. The Substitute Trustees reserve the right to require registration and/or pre-qualification of bidders, to modify or waive the requirements for bidders’ deposits, to approve the cred-itworthiness of any bidder and final purchaser, to withdraw the Property from sale prior to acceptance of a final bid, to cancel the sale, to use an agent or attorney to conduct the sale, to reject any and all bids or to postpone the sale and keep the bidding open for any length of time, and to conduct other sales as the Substitute Trustees may determine in their discretion. The Property will be sold in an “AS IS” condition and without any recourse, representations or warranties, either express or implied, as to its nature, condition or description. Neither the Substitute Trustees nor the Secured Party make any warranty or representation of any kind or nature, express or implied with respect to: (i) the physical condition of, the description of, or title to the Property; or (ii) the zoning, subdivision or use of the Property. The purchaser of the Property at the foreclosure sale shall be responsible for any code violations (and resulting fines) occurring on or about the Property, whether or not official notices thereof are issued, and for the risk of loss to the Property from and after the time of sale. Neither the Substitute Trustees nor the Secured Party make any representation or assurance of any kind or nature, express or implied, with respect to the purchaser’s ability to obtain possession of the Property, and the purchaser shall be solely responsible for obtaining possession of the Property. If the purchaser defaults, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies available to him, the Substitute Trustees may declare the entire deposit forfeited and, in addition, may resell the Property at the risk and cost of the defaulting purchaser. In such event, the defaulting purchaser shall (i) be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price, all costs and expenses of both sales, attorneys’ fees and all other charges incurred by the Substitute Trustees; and (ii) not be entitled to any surplus proceeds resulting from the resale of the Property even if such surplus resulted from improvements to the Property made by or on behalf of the defaulting purchaser. If the Substitute Trustees are unable to convey the Property by reason of any defect in the title or otherwise, the sole remedy of the purchaser of the Property at law or in equity shall be limited to the refund of the aforementioned deposit. Upon refund of the deposit to the purchaser, the sale shall be void and of no effect, and the purchaser shall have no further claims against the Substitute Trustees or the Secured Party. The conveyance by the Substitute Trustees to the purchaser at settlement shall be by Substitute Trustees’ Deed, without covenant or warranty. The purchaser is responsible for, and the Property is sold subject to, any environmental matter or condition, whether latent or observable, that may exist at or affect or relate to the Property and to any governmental requirements affecting same. The purchaser of the Property waives, on its behalf and on behalf of its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, any claims under all present and future environmental laws including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.
