Four-year-old Alex Ponicki snuggled proudly in his mother's arms yesterday while his letter was read aloud.To the crowd of 250 parents, children and social workers at the first statewide celebration of adoptive families, the words were poignant: "Being adopted means a kid goes to a different family and gets kisses and hugs forever."The awards ceremony at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Cedonia honored almost two dozen families who have adopted siblings and children with special needs -- some of the most challenging children to find homes for."

If you're feeling rushed in the doctor's office, join the crowd. Prodded by health care managers, physicians are trying to squeeze more patients into every hour, to the point where many worry that care is being seriously shortchanged."

It spoke volumes about the college -- 95,000 volumes.Under gray skies and occasional drizzle, students, faculty and alumni of the 300-year-old school began moving the works of the greatest thinkers in the world from Woodward Hall on King George Street more than a city block across campus to their new home, a refurbished Maryland Hall of Records.

Greenfield Right on Promotion RatePhil Greenfield's July 2 piece regarding public school promotion rates ("The Schools' Feel-Good Racket") was timely and on target.An education task force chaired by Robert E. Gabrys, assistant state education superintendent, recently recommended that the Maryland State Board of Education stop counting promotion as a measurement of school quality, and the board is poised to act favorably on this recommendation later this month.Last month, I wrote to state school Superintendent Nancy S. Grasmick urging the state board to eliminate grade promotion rates from the Maryland School Performance Assessment Program and indicated that if the board does not take such action, I plan to call for hearings on the issue in the House Ways and Means Committee during the 1996 legislative session.

Fred KolodnerLawyerFred Kolodner, who practiced law in Baltimore for about 40 years, died Sunday at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.Mr. Kolodner, who was 70, lived in Baltimore where he was born.

Mary Greenfield's garden began as a patch of love for her mother. She planted some flowers near her mailbox on Old Joppa Road, across from her home in Wilna so her mother could look out the window and enjoy the beauty.That was 22 years ago. Today Mrs. Greenfield's garden stretches for nearly 1,000 feet along Old Joppa Road -- a rainbow of daffodils, tulips, azaleas, blue irises, larkspur, daisies, black-eyed Susans, day lilies and zinnia. There are many more varieties, too numerous to list.

Police knew just where to find the 17-year-old fugitive from a Baltimore County detention facility. All they had to do was trace a call he made on the cell phone of his lover - an employee at the center. The boy, a sex offender who had been in custody at a treatment facility in Parkville, fled Monday evening during a sanctioned group outing to a White Marsh movie theater. As Maryland State Police officials told the story Thursday, the boy made his getaway by hopping into a waiting car driven by Tyra M. Greenfield, a 26-year-old youth counselor.

Early in her training - during the first two weeks, in fact - Karen Greenfield got a lesson in flying she'd never forget. It was a sunny afternoon in late winter, 3,000 feet above rural Virginia. The wannabe pilot was at the controls, her hands nervously gripping the stick, as the instructor beside her coached her through a sharp swoop upward. "Bring the nose up," he said. But the rookie put in too much rudder. The two-seat Piper Cub jerked to one side, catapulted into a spin, and dropped toward the earth like a 1,500-pound "helicopter" leaf from a maple tree.

The startling crunching and cracking sounds that reverberated through a neighborhood near Oakland Mills High School a couple of hours after daybreak yesterday gave way in the afternoon to duller thumps and thuds that are expected to continue today. Around 8 a.m. yesterday, a backhoe began tearing down a 30-year-old group home co-owned by The Arc of Howard County to make way for a custom-built one. About a half-hour later, the crumpled remains of the house on Torrent Row lay in heaps on the ground.

When The Arc of Howard County decided to create an annual award for compassionate leadership, its longtime benefactor Jim Greenfield, founder of Columbia Builders, was the obvious choice. "It's really his compassion for people that defines the person that he is," said Kari Ebeling, director of resource development at the Arc. "His leadership and compassion for wanting the best for people is very broad-based in our community. This will be given in subsequent years to people who embody the same characteristics, qualities and contributions that Jim represents."
