The weather cleared for State Sen. Barry Glassman Saturday, and as expected the Harford village of Level saw its native son announce his candidacy for Harford County Executive before an estimated 1,000 supporters. Many attendees said it was the largest and most unique political kickoff they had ever attended, with demand so high that the campaign had to stop selling tickets the week before. The Level Volunteer Fire Company was transformed into a festival venue decked out in the campaign's colors of blue and green, with Glassman's bio video shown on a huge LED screen alongside a stage with 30-foot banners.

Dr. Martin Helrich, a pioneering anesthesiologist who had headed the department of anesthesiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, died Sunday of complications from heart disease at his Pikesville home. He was 91. "Martin was so devoted to his department and his profession. He molded and shaped the anesthesiology department at Maryland and made it what it is today," said Dr. Mark S. Etter, an anesthesiologist and former longtime chairman of the anesthesiology department at Abington Memorial Hospital in Abington, Pa. "Marty expanded the department and brought in a lot of high-powered people and received national recognition for his work," said Dr. Morris Roseman, a former Summit Park neighbor, who retired from the Veteran Administration's Outtake Center in downtown Baltimore, where he had been chief psychologist.
