South African artist shares knowledge with UMES “Every (drawn) line tells a story,” said Dr. Nombeko Mpako, a visiting senior lecturer with the Department of Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology at the prestigious University of South Africa. “The artist has deliberately chosen to use that line to communicate a story. It’s not (put there) by accident.” Mpako recently visited UMES to share her knowledge in African art and contemporary African arts and crafts to students and faculty through a series of lectures and presentations in the UMES Department of Fine Arts. “Art, especially for the African people, from the beginning of mankind, has always been used to fulfill various social meanings and functions,” Mpako said. Mpako’s teaching career began as a tutor at a South African adult education center in 1984. Over the years, she has taught at both the undergraduate and post-graduate levels and completed research projects that focus on art as it relates to African customs, traditions and rituals. In honor of Mapko’s campus visit, Fine Arts and Library Services hosted a mini exhibition, “Reflections

on African Diversity,” displayed at the Frederick Douglass Library. The exhibit featured selected works from Associate Professor Christopher Harrington’s vast collection of art and artifacts of the African Diaspora. The collection is divided into three categories: works by contemporary African-American artists, Negro League Baseball ephemera and African art, which focuses on the traditional arts of Central and West Africa – the area to which African-Americans can trace their ancestry. The Virtual Museum of African Diaspora, which features the collection, can be visited at www.v-mad.org. According to Harrington, the short-term goal of the virtual museum is to create an educational and interesting web-based exhibition of the contribution of Africans and African-Americans. The long-term goal, he says, is to spur interest in procuring funding to create a permanent, physical museum at UMES. “The objects from the Virtual Museum of African Diaspora could serve as the nucleus of the collection,” Harrington said. “It is hoped that it will inspire further donations from the community.” For more information, contact Solomon Isekeije, interim chair, Department of Fine Arts, UMES, at 410651-6487 or by emailing sisekeije@umes.edu.
Refueled by a spring trip to Jamaica, the UMES Jazz Ensemble prepares for the upcoming fall semester’s schedule chock full of campus and community performances, some of which will help fund next year’s trip. At the close of the academic year, 19 members of the ensemble packed their bags and instruments along with Director of Bands Dr. John Lamkin, Lead Vocalist Eartha Lamkin, Music Theory Lecturer Brian Perez and Percussion Lecturer Patrick McHenry and headed to Jamaica—the land of island breezes, beautiful beaches and the sweet sounds of jazz. The Ocho Rios International Jazz Festival, held in various locations throughout the country, was the group’s destination. First stop, Ocho Rios, the venue for the opening concert, then over the mountains to Kingston and back for several “gigs” as Lamkin calls them. According to Lamkin, one of the memorable moments was during the last performance when the Big Band was playing in a park near the hotel, one of the sponsors of the festival got up and sang a duet with Eartha Lamkin and the band. “That was wonderful….a really good time,” said Lamkin. “It was obvious that people in the audience were enjoying the band and the vocalists.” Not all work and no play, the students had some time for sightseeing at Dunn’s River Falls and shopping in the nearby open air market to “…dicker with the vendors.” “I taught them how to do it,” said Lamkin. “The kids enjoyed that.”

MARYLAND PARTNERSHIP EXPANDS BROADBAND TO LOWER SHORE By Suzanne Street, Agriculture Communication Specialist
Traditionally underserved cities on the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland can now look forward to broadband service, the result of a $3.2 million USDA grant and a partnership between Bloosurf, a Maryland company, the Maryland Broadband Cooperative and UMES. “With the help of our congressional delegation, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore is able to extend our commitment to creating jobs and growing technology and health-based businesses in our community,” said Dr. Ronald Forsythe Jr., UMES vice president for technology and commercialization, “and there’s still more to come.” “UMES is a true high tech incubator; that’s why we partnered with them,” said Paul Carliner, president of Bloosurf. “This partnership will allow us to
offer state-of-the-art broadband service, including 4G mobile broadband service, to Princess Anne and the surrounding communities on the Lower Shore. This will be a huge boost for economic development and job creation. U.S. Senators Barbara A. Mikulski and Benjamin L. Cardin have been tireless advocates who were both highly instrumental to the project that will allow Bloosurf to build a wireless last-mile network for the rural areas of Worcester, Somerset and Wicomico counties, as well as Smith Island. “To help rural Maryland compete globally, we must expand high-speed technology locally,” said Senator Mikulski, a longtime component of bringing the technology to the Shore. “The grant will help communities in Eastern Maryland connect to the information superhighway, as well as support new jobs, help small businesses and boost economic growth.” “Internet access is critical to the economy of the 21st century and this Recovery Act funding will ensure completion of the high-speed, broadband service to Worcester, Somerset and Wicomico counties and Smith Island,” said Senator Cardin. “This funding will ensure that residents and businesses on the Eastern Shore have much-needed broadband service and it will help to create jobs and spur economic growth.” Rep. Frank Kratovil, a member of the House Agriculture committee, has been consistent in his fight to expand broadband access on the Shore in an effort to sure up critical job-creating infrastructure. “I have consistently fought to expand broadband access on the Eastern Shore,” said Rep. Kratovil. “These funds will be utilized to help bridge the ‘digital divide’ and ensure that those living in rural communities have access to the information and tools that they need to compete. Strategic investments like this are exactly why I was pleased to vote for the Recovery Act—these funds will be used to create jobs, grow the economy and provide critical continued on page 3
Delmarva philanthropist helps UMES freshmen pay for textbooks Five UMES freshmen are starting their college careers with help from a prominent funeral director on Delmarva. Bennie Smith, who owns 12 funeral homes from Chestertown, Md., to Exmore, Va., retooled a general scholarship program he started in 2003 and now directs that his gift be used to pay for textbooks. “Books are so expensive these days – not like when I was in school,” said Dr. Francis Gates, who administers the financial aid for Smith. “We thought this would be a way to assist young people with the tools they need to be successful college students.” Smith pledged $5,000 to lend a hand to five first-year students at UMES for the 2010-11 academic year. Each will receive vouchers worth $500 per semester to defray the cost of books and related expenses. Gates, a retired educator, sent letters to 38 high schools on Delmarva seeking applications and coordinated the selection of recipients based on financial need. “Mr. Smith has always believed in education,” Gates said. “He feels strongly about encouraging young people to go on to college.” This year’s Bennie Smith book scholarship recipients at UMES are: • Cara Baltimore, North Caroline High School (Denton, Md.) • DaAndre’ Burton, Northampton High School, (Eastville, Va.) • Briante Dickerson, Nandua High School (Onley, Va.) • Wayne Heath, Nandua High • Arshelle Jackson, North Caroline High

Funeral Director Bennie Smith awarded $1,000 scholarships to five UMES students to defray textbook bills during their first year in college. Freshman DaAndre’ Burton, left, joined Smith’s representative, Francis Gates, in the campus bookstore as Gates presented a check to Financial Aid Director James Kellam, center. Classmates Wayne Heath, far right, and Briante Dickerson also participated in the ceremony. All three students qualified for the financial aid.
“I would like to say thank you to Mr. Bennie Smith,” said Burton, a criminal justice major. “He’s taken a big burden off my mother and stepfather in helping me pay for my books.” An appreciative Heath, also a criminal justice major, said Smith’s generosity “made it a little easier to afford furthering my education.” Smith specifically wanted to help students attending Delmarva’s historically black institutions and set up a similar program at Delaware State University in Dover, where he also has a funeral home, Gates said.

Criminal Justice major receives scholarship
UMES facilities director uses doctoral research to write first book Dr. Maurice Ngwaba, director of facilities planning, design and construction at UMES, recently had his first book published. Ngwaba spent nearly two years researching and writing his book titled “Major Constraints in Planning, Design, and Construction of a Facility: A NeoInstitutionalism Approach for Professionals, Leaders, and Educators.” “I wanted to share ways that will help people reduce the number of problems and challenges they face during the planning, design and construction process,” said Ngwaba, who also serves as the assistant to the vice president of administrative affairs at UMES. Ngwaba – a practicing architect, planner and specifications writer – says the topic is part of his doctoral research. Throughout his career, he has served in several building industry boards and commissions and has received numerous awards and citations for his work.

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s Frederick Douglass Library has digitized a halfcentury of “The Hawk” yearbooks – from the first volume in 1959 through 2009. “This project was undertaken to allow complete access to the yearbook collection of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore,” said Shelia Bailey, interim dean of the Frederick Douglass Library. The conversion was made possible through the LYRASIS Mass Digitization Collaborative – a project supported by a Sloan Foundation grant that makes digitization easy and affordable for the nation’s libraries and cultural institutions. In Maryland, UMES joins the University of Maryland at Baltimore, the University of Maryland College Park and St. Mary’s College of Maryland in digitizing the yearbook collections through LYRASIS. Washington College is currently in the process. Through the Collaborative’s partnership with the Internet Archive, UMES yearbooks were scanned cover- to-cover and in full color. A variety of format options exist, which allow online visitors to page through a book, download a PDF version or search the full text version.
“We are truly excited to have this archive resource online and available to the world,” Interim Library Dean Shelia Bailey said. “We would like to thank the FDL Special Collections and Outreach Department for its research to prepare the collection for digitization and FDL Archive Team for its support.” The first yearbook appeared in 1959 – when the institution was known as Maryland State College. Altogether, 44 yearbooks – including some years that are combined – have been converted to a digital format. Bailey notes many yearbook images are the work of Thomas Wiles, the campus photographer from 1951 to 1989. Online viewers, she said, should also “remember … all of the yearbook committees (that) chronicled their time here for generations to enjoy.” The university’s Division of Institutional Advancement, Office of Alumni Affairs and Planned Giving underwrote the conversion project.

Saxophonist Brian Perez performs concert Brian Perez, lecturer of woodwinds at UMES, will perform a saxophone recital on Sunday, Oct. 3, at 4 p.m. in the Ella Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts at the university. Joining Perez will be pianist Roy Hakes and saxophonist Brittney Seline. “So often the saxophone is seen only as a jazz or popular instrument,” Perez said. “However, it has so much more diversity to it. At the recital, I will display this intriguing other side of the saxophone.” Perez will perform works that represent “the vast influence of a growing global culture.” Aspects of music that will be heard range from classical to modern, and from salsa to boogie-woogie blues. He will play compositions by Paul Hindemith, John Anthony Lennon, Christian Lauba and Misha Zupko. Although he participated in many forms of music and a wide range of instruments, Perez developed a passion for jazz and classical saxophone during his undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in jazz studies and studied abroad at the L’Aula Conservatori Del Liceu in Barcelona, Spain. Perez earned a master’s degree in jazz pedagogy from the University of Miami and is currently pursuing a doctorate in saxophone performance from the University of Maryland College Park. Over his career, Perez has played with well-known jazz artists Tom Harrell, Byron Stripling and Ernie Watts. He has played professionally in national tours of various musical theater productions. As a concert saxophonist, he has given numerous solo recitals and performed as a guest artist with orchestras such as the Lynn University Orchestra and the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra. Perez has performed in venues across the globe including Los Angeles, New Orleans, Toronto, Spain, Colombia and Venezuela among them. The saxophone recital is free and open to the public.
