Ronja Mielke At Annapolis Book Festival

From the Capital Gazette:
    The 12th annual Annapolis Book Festival was held on Sat.  But,  there were other activities besides books.   Some of the panel discussions were recorded by C-SPAN for a larger viewing audience. But not all the topics were somber. There was a cooking demonstration on Maryland seafood, and discussions of children's books and baseball in Baltimore.
    Ronja Mielke of Davidsonville came for books, not talk. The annual festival, now in its 13th year at The Key School, features a sale with row after row of new and used tomes.
With unwieldy stacks of books in both hands, Mielke was trying to peer at another one before they all toppled over.
    Mielke said she is originally from Germany, but has been living in Davidsonville with a host family whose children she watches. She brought them along to the festival Saturday.
    "I love books, I love to read," Mielke said. "It's perfect for me."

Contractor Back At Park and Ride

    After many months of no work at all,  the Davidsonville Park and Ride expansion has been the site of  earthmovers starting to  move some dirt.  Will the project be completed in 2015 as promised?  That should be possible,  but it would require a much greater effort than has been seen in the last two years.

New Rt. 50 Lighting

    The Maryland State Highway Administration next month will begin a $7.6 million highway lighting upgrade on Route 50 in Anne Arundel County from the PG county line to Rowe Blvd, including he Davidsonville Road interchange.  The aging system will be replaced by the latest LED systems which will improve safety and cut operating costs by concentrating the light on the travel lanes resulting is less light on grassy surfaces and nearby areas.
    Crews will construct concrete foundations and install new poles, averaging about three poles each day, according to the SHA. The lighting upgrades should be complete spring 2018, weather permitting.
    When the project is complete, this section of Route 50 will only have 430 light poles instead of 490, a nearly 13 percent reduction.

Ann Vigorito Passes Away


    Ann Vigorito, 80, of Gambrills and previously of Camp Springs, MD, passed away peacefully on April 16, 2015 following a brief illness.
    The youngest of 13 children, Ann was born on November 22, 1934 in Brooklyn, NY to the late Santo and Amelia D'Eredita. As a teen, Ann worked part-time with her mother sewing "Ike" jackets. After completing high school, Ann went to work for the Bank of America in New York.
    In early January 1956, she went on a blind date with a young Air Forceman, Anthony "Vic" Vigorito. They fell in love that night and married six days later. They spent their honeymoon traveling to Vic's duty station in Texas. While stationed in Texas, Ann went to work for the Wichita Falls Record News. In the 1960s, she worked as a cashier at the NCO Club in the Philippines and, in the 1970s, as the bookkeeper for Marlo Furniture in Camp Springs. Ann was a skilled rollerskater in her youth and was the Runner-Up New York State Champion for Dance Skating. She was a wonderful cook, but also enjoyed going out to eat. She often received gift cards to her favorite restaurants and invited family and friends to join her when she used them. Ann loved to travel. She also had a passion for playing the slots and enjoyed going to casinos in Maryland and Delaware. Her greatest passion though was being a wife and mother. Her family could always count on her for advice, even when it was painfully honest.
     Preceded in death by her 12 siblings, Ann is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Vic Vigorito; her children, Deborah (Alberto) DiPompo of West River, MD and Michael (Bethany) Vigorito of Woodbridge, VA; two grandchildren, Joseph DiPompo and his wife, Jeannine, of Perry Hall, MD; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Elton Sherman, Dorothy (Taylor) Sherman Pass Away


     Dorothy Lee Sherman (née Taylor) passed away on March 28, 2015 at the age of 85.
    Elton Newman Sherman passed away on October 9, 2013 at the age of 83.
    Dorothy and Elton, known as Dottie and Sherm to family and friends, were married for 56 years and survived by four children and their spouses, Scott (Amy) Sherman, Todd (Coco) Sherman, Vanessa (Joseph) DeVittorio and Stacy (Timothy) Gavin as well as eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
    Dottie was born September 18, 1929 in Detroit, Michigan, to Dorothy L. Taylor and Richard H. Taylor. After graduating from Highland Park High School, she began flying throughout the United States as a stewardess for American and later Continental Airlines. In her late 20s, Dottie became a homemaker and mother. Inspired by Betty Friedan's "The Feminist Mystique," Dottie returned to college and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Framingham State College and a Master of Library Science from California State University Fullerton. Later, following her passions, Dottie earned a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from Wesleyan University. From 1979 to her retirement in 1994, Dottie was corporate librarian and department director at American Nuclear Insurers. Between degrees and motherhood, Dottie somehow found the time to march for the Equal Rights Amendment. When not on an adventure with Sherm, Dottie could always be found endlessly reading newspapers and magazines, making copious notes in her nearly illegible handwriting. She was a joyous advocate of the good life, often happily indulging in chocolate cake for breakfast (and encouraging her grandchildren to do the same).
   Born April 16, 1930 in Flint, Michigan to Harry and Hannah Sherman, Sherm grew up in Los Angeles and Bakersfield, California. He joined the United States Coast Guard after high school and was stationed in the South Pacific and eastern United States. Thanks to his work in the electronics, defense and computer industries at companies like Defense Electronics Inc., Conrac Inc., Raytheon and United Technologies, Sherm travelled extensively throughout Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa, but his favorite country to visit always remained Germany. In retirement, Sherm continued to consult on defense and intelligence technologies. An accomplished ham radio operator and a formidable poker player, Sherm pursued many hobbies, including skiing, camping and mountaineering, building computers and working on sports cars. He was an avid collector of antiques and rare books. However, Sherm's favorite hobby remained his devotion to always reminding his grandchildren how much he loved them. Prior to moving to Davidsonville, Maryland in 2010, Dottie and Sherm lived for 32 years in Woodbridge, Connecticut. Over the course of their marriage, they lived in California, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Virginia, New Jersey, and Germany.
    The family would like to express sincere gratitude to Hospice of the Chesapeake whose dedication and care for Dottie and Sherm were a blessing to the entire family and enabled Dottie and Sherm to remain at home to enjoy family, Bend (the family's Bernese Mountain Dog) and surrounding woods and gardens. Contributions in honor of Dottie and Sherm can be made to Hospice of the Chesapeake (
hospicechesapeake.org) located in Pasadena, Maryland.
    There will be a private celebration in honor of the lives of Dottie and Sherm on June 6, 2015.

Michael Dingham To Run In Boston

From the Capital Gazette:
Michael Dingham waited until he was 40 to run his first marathon. Since he's now pushing 50, he figured it was time for another first.
The Davidsonville father of four will be one of the privileged 36,000 runners to compete in the Boston Marathon on April 20. The race is one of the premier running competitions in the world and attention has increased exponentially since the bombings there in 2013.
Entry into the event is a coveted opportunity for many of the nation's most passionate runners. It's one of those rare events where ordinary athletes get to rub elbows with the elite of their sport. It's sort of like being asked to try out your beltway-driving skills in the Daytona 500.
Most runners have to post an age-group qualifying time to gain entry to the race.
Dingham, 49, earned his first trip to the historic 118-year-old race as part of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute team.
The government contract worker will be running to raise funds for cancer research in honor of a former co-worker, Cindy Scott, who is battling cancer for the third time.
His goal is to raise $15,000 and he's already two-thirds of the way to accomplishing that mission.
"Boston is definitely one of the premier marathons,'' said Dingham, who has been running about 50 miles a week in preparation for the 26.2-mile event. "It's a race that has a tremendous amount of culture associated with it and a lot of emotion since the bombings. It will be a great experience to combine that with an inspirational cause to support a good friend.''
Dingham will be running with a friend from New Hampshire, Dick Correa, and plans to make the event a special trip for his wife and four children.
"It's a chance to do something for a good cause and spend some time with family and friends,'' he said.
While he is relatively new to marathon running, Dingham isn't a novice at the sport. He regularly can be spotted cruising the rural roads of Davidsonville four to five times a week. He competed in triathlons and a couple of half marathons before giving the longer distance a try.
"I kind of got suckered into the Marine Corps Marathon,'' said Dingham of the Washington, D.C., event he completed in about 4½ hours 10 years ago.
He's not looking to set any age-group records or keep up with the elite runners in Boston.
"I'm a finisher, not a speedster,'' he said with a chuckle.
The fact that the event will be run in the shadow of the penalty phase of the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for the bombings at the 2013 Boston Marathon isn't lost on Dingham.
He spent more than 20 years working with defense contractor Lockheed-Martin and regularly traveled to Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa. He has two adopted sons from Liberia and a healthy knowledge of the global dangers of terrorism.
"I've spent a good part of my professional career working with military personnel and first responders,'' he said. "I think I have a good perspective on terrorist threats. This race and the emotions surrounding it bring home the freedoms and luxuries that we have in this country. It's not always safe in other parts of the world and a lot of people don't have an appreciation for the freedoms that we have in this country.''
But when he's out on the course, running the streets of Boston, Dingham isn't likely to be thinking of global terrorism. He'll be engrossed in a sport that most running enthusiasts treasure because of its cathartic ability to clear the mind.
"It's very relaxing to get out of the house, gather your thoughts and just slow down,'' he said of his mindset while on his training runs. "With four kids at home, sometimes I need that.''
He played a little baseball and basketball in high school growing up in southern New Jersey, but didn't discover the joys of open-road running until later in life.
Now he's fully committed to maintaining his fitness level and supporting a good cause.
