William Kenneth Blevins, former deputy director of the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation, died Thursday at Sinai Hospital of a heart attack after surgery. He was 68.A top-ranking official with the state for 16 years, he helped to unify the way state property taxes were assessed throughout Maryland. He began his career as an assessor in Baltimore County in 1963.Ronald W. Wineholt, director of the Department of Assessments and Taxation, said Mr. Blevins filled the No. 2 slot for many years before the deputy's position was created officially.

UMBC's Jeremy Blevins is the little goalie who comes up big in big games. He isn't flashy and doesn't make daring dashes down the field. He isn't spectacular in the goal, but solid. But at crunch time, there isn't a better goalie in the country. "It's not his save percentage that wows you; it's the important saves he makes at the most important times that are the most impressive to me," Maryland coach Dave Cottle said. Cottle should know. Blevins had 11 saves in UMBC's 9-8 triple-overtime win over Maryland on March 14. The Terps had a fast-break opportunity on Blevins in the first overtime, and Blevins made the save.

The mother of a newborn child who was found dead in a trash bin behind a Charles Village church has been charged with first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death, according to court records. Melanie Beth Blevins, 22, of Westminster had been staying at St. John's Methodist Church in the 2600 block of St. Paul St. as part of a training program with a Christian volunteer organization when she went to the hospital Oct. 4 complaining of abdominal pains.

The UMBC men's lacrosse team sure has a flair for the dramatic. Last weekend, the Retrievers overcame a nine-goal deficit to beat Albany in the America East championship game. On a cold and damp evening yesterday in Charlottesville, Va., the drama was just as intense. Unfortunately for the Retrievers, they came up just short. No. 2 seed Virginia, behind four goals from Danny Glading and three goals from Garrett Billings, overcame a two-goal deficit in the second half to beat UMBC, 10-9, in the first round of the NCAA tournament at Klockner Stadium.

In his three seasons as the starting goalkeeper for the UMBC men's lacrosse team, Jeremy Blevins has stared down the likes of Johns Hopkins, Maryland and Princeton. His toughest adversaries, however, just might be his housemates. Blevins shares an off-campus house with five other juniors in defensemen Bobby Atwell, Brian Schneider and Steve Settembrino and midfielders Mike Burch and Alex Hopmann. Blevins and Hopmann are considered the "neat freaks" who find themselves in seemingly daily battles to keep the house clean.

The Manchester Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 Monday night to grant preliminary approval for Blevins Claim, a 61-acre, 164-home development of single-family houses on Bachman Avenue north of Route 27.Commission Chairman Benjamin Perricone said after the meeting that the project is the largest single development tract the commission has considered, although larger developments have been built in phases in Manchester over the years.Nobody spoke against the project at the meeting.Mr.

The Mount Airy developer who for nearly three years has been trying to win approval of a 62-acre project here may walk away from the deal, killing what once was the town's largest proposed housing development."

The area's hottest men's lacrosse team hasn't cooled off yet. No. 14 UMBC collected its fifth consecutive win, defeating Towson, 9-6, before an announced 1,351 at Johnny Unitas Stadium in Towson last night. The Retrievers (6-3) have lost just once in the past seven contests - a 10-8 setback to defending national champion Johns Hopkins on March 4. UMBC, which has won the past two meetings with the Tigers after dropping the previous three, opened the season with two straight losses. "We're settling the ball on offense and playing good defense," said senior midfielder Terry Kimener, who led all scorers with three goals and an assist.

UMBC junior goalkeeper Jeremy Blevins (Calvert Hall) stopped a career-high 20 shots and senior midfielder Terry Kimener contributed a goal and a career-best four assists as the host Retrievers (1-2) defeated No. 20 Denver, 9-6, in blustery conditions. Sophomore attackman Chris Jones added the first three goals of his career for UMBC, and sophomore midfielder Kyle Wimer had two goals and two assists. Denver freshman midfielder Jamie Lincoln and junior attackman Cliff Smith entered the game with six and five goals, respectively but were held to one goal each.
