Thank you, Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester III Late M*A*S*H actor David Ogden Stiers graciously remembers UMES in his will David Ogden Stiers, best known as Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester III to fans of the critically acclaimed TV show M*A*S*H, bequeathed $50,000 to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore to establish a student scholarship fund. Stiers, who died March 3, 2018, was awarded an honorary degree at the university’s spring commencement in May 2012. His estate released the gift, which grew to just over $53,300, to the university on October 27. While Stiers did not speak at the graduation event that day, his unassuming manner charmed other platform guests backstage as well as those he encountered at a post-graduation luncheon, where it was clear he was honored to be recognized as a “Doctor of Humane Letters.” ”Growing up, I was a huge fan of M*A*S*H and always enjoyed Mr. Stiers’ role as Major Wincester,” President Heidi M. Anderson said. ”And who didn’t enjoy his iconic voice role as Cogsworth in the Beauty and the Beast? I am delighted that Mr. Stiers elected to remember so many worthwhile organizations in his estate, including UMES.” According to news organizations that focus on reporting about entertainers, Stiers also left identical donations to the Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, the Children’s Advocacy Center in Newport, Ore. and the Southern Poverty Law Center. The evening prior to receiving his honorary degree, Stiers appeared in Pocomoke City in support of a Mar-Va Theater Performing Arts Center fund-raiser. According to the The Daily Times newspaper, Stiers “read … poems
and short stories from favorite authors … from Mark Twain and James Thurber to Oregonian poet Catherine Rickbone, who directs the Newport (Ore.) Performing Arts Center where Stiers … is associate conductor of the Newport Symphony Orchestra.” ”I want this evening to be a re-acquaintance with the romance and the splendor of the language,” the newspaper quoted him as saying. Stiers traveled cross-country from his Oregon home to the midAtlantic via train, the newspaper reported. Stiers’ visit to Delmarva was arranged by Andrea Sims, a publicist and president of Lion’s Share Communications, an Arlington, Va.-based public relations firm. At the time, Sims had a home in Princess Anne and was instrumental in organizing a series of scholarship fund-raising events for UMES that featured entertainers with whom she had worked or had contact with. In addition to his signature role in the popular drama-comedy show about a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War, Stiers acted on Broadway, appeared in films such as The Accidental Tourist and Doc Hollywood, and did voice work for the Public Broadcasting System as well as eight animated Disney films. Stiers, Sims told the newspaper in 2012, ”loves the arts and is very generous of spirit.” Those at UMES who met him in 2012 or stand to benefit from his generosity can attest to that.

UMES graduate student among 25 HBCU Behavioral Health Ambassadors Atlanta-based program promotes awareness of students in the field
Jessica Collins, a University of Maryland Eastern Shore student pursuing a Master of Science degree in rehabilitation counseling, has been named a Behavioral Health Ambassador by the HBCU Center for Excellence in Behavioral Health. The federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Courtesy of SAMHSA Administration funds the center housed at Clark Atlanta University. Collins will be among 25 ambassadors participating in the program during the 2021-22 academic year. By 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services predicts there will be shortages of behavioral health professionals. The HBCU center aims to promote awareness of and provide support to students pursing degrees in Behavioral Health at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. As a behavioral health ambassador, Collins will make presentations exposing undergraduates to careers and issues in behavioral health, develop and deliver presentations to undergraduates at HBCUs and engage in conversations with students considering careers in behavioral health. Behavioral Health Ambassadors also receive a $7,000 stipend and professional development. “This is a true privilege,” Collins said about being selected for the ambassador program. “It challenges me to continue pushing through to completing my graduate degree and make an impact on a younger generation who have gone through some very difficult times and may feel lost.” “My goal as a Behavioral Health Ambassador is to be an inspiration to students who are determining their career direction and expose them to the importance of being in a Behavioral Health career,” she said. “I would like to share the impact of the workers in behavioral health in our new normal. I want to let them know the importance of people of color being reflected in behavioral health systems.” “Without us reflected in the field,” Collins said, “our community perspective and personal perspective doesn’t get communicated.” The Queens, N.Y. native transferred to UMES from Medgar Evers College in New York, earning her bachelor’s degree in rehabilitation services in 2020. Her field experience included an internship at Anchor House, a faith-based residential drug treatment program in Brooklyn, N.Y., and she currently works as a residential crisis specialist at Go-Getters Lower Shore Clinic. “She is a very detail-oriented person, which is why she is the
student editor for the department newsletter ”The Rehab Review,” said Dr. William Talley, associate professor and the Department of Rehabilitation Services chairman. “She is personable … a solid communicator and she follows through with her commitments. She is the sort of person who always strives to do a good job,” said Talley on the qualities that will help Collins be successful during her ambassadorship. Collins’ goal is to work in mental health/ substance use disorders programs for adults to provide effective, quality and individualized care to clients, promote choice and dignity, and become an administrator who develops programming that would impact a larger system.

Navy experience helped veteran find a career path Senior Dustin Edelman has a job waiting when he graduates Dec. 17 No one was prepared for the havoc COVID-19 wreaked in the months after public health officials declared a pandemic and civic leaders directed everyday life be brought to a standstill. UMES senior Dustin Edelman, however, was not flustered by the sweeping lockdown that closed schools and government offices, emptied streets, canceled sporting events, and made isolation and Zoom a way of avoiding danger while vaccine research ramped up. Edelman served 3½ years in the U.S. Navy, a majority of the time assigned to the U.S.S. Scranton, a Los Angeles-class submarine. “Living with bare necessities aboard a sub is what you’re accustomed to,” said Edelman, who is on schedule to earn his bachelor’s degree in hospitality and tourism management Dec. 17. Consequently, to Edelman, “it was no big deal” going into quarantine. “Being in cramped quarters, not expecting to have a lot of luxuries – it’s something I got used to. I had no choice” after enlisting. Edelman was among UMES students who in November 2019 helped stage the “Veterans’ Gala,” a fund-raising banquet the pandemic forced into hiatus a year ago. The scholarship event returned this year on Thursday, Nov. 11 at UMES’ Henson Center. At 36, Edelman is more than a decade removed from his stint in the Navy, where he was a cook who routinely worked several consecutive six-hour shifts while on deployment. (His longest was six months.) Upon returning to civilian life, the Salisbury native initially tried
his hand at retail food service but eventually gravitated to hospitality. He realized that without a college degree, his resume lacked the credentials to compete for promotions. To get back into the swing of being a student, Edelman enrolled at Salisbury’s WorWic Community College, where he studied hotelmotel-restaurant management. He found a robust support network for non-traditional age students, especially military veterans. With an associate’s degree in hand, he came to UMES, where he understandably encounters a higher percentage of students who entered college immediately after high school. “You find yourself in a leadership role without really trying to be a leader,” Edelman said of doing class projects. “I’ve had a great experience here (at UMES).” He has carried a full course load while also working fulltime at an Ocean City hotel. He’s anxious to graduate and begin climbing the career ladder. “Going through this experience, it’s given me a better sense of how to interact with younger people who I know I am going to encounter in my career,” he said. Edelman said his tour with Navy also gave him a greater appreciation of sacrifices made by older veterans he met growing up as well as the isolation they might feel when others are unaware of their service. “I think every person should serve in the military,” he said. “It’s an amazing experience.” “It gives you a sense of responsibility and forces you to set goals, and strive to succeed in life,” Edelman said.

Exploring insects’ nutritional and medicinal values
What tastes like shrimp or seafood? It might have a “citrusy flavor” or be “oily and salty like popcorn.” Could be crunchy like a “Frito or chip” or “smushy like pudding.” They come in all shapes and sizes, a world food protein source on the rise. “Five years ago I was deathly afraid of insects, so I went from running from them, to chasing them, to eating them—now that’s revenge!” said Ebony Jenkins, a food and agricultural sciences doctoral student at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Jenkins, who is from Snow Hill, is a budding entomophagist — the study of rearing insects for human consumption, feed and biological controls. She and her research adviser, Dr. Simon Zebelo, an associate professor of entomology and plant biology, tout cicadas, crickets and mealworms among others as a safe, economical and nutritious source of protein. The Public Broadcasting System’s science series, NOVA, featured Jenkins on its Season 48, Episode 14 “Edible Insects,” which aired Oct. 20. The documentary featured Jenkins’ work focusing on improving insects as a source of nutrition and modifying what they eat. “One of my objectives is to understand the optimization of feed for various insects,” she explained. “You are what you eat, so whatever they eat they’re able to metabolize and we can benefit from those items that are present in their system. So, for example, if you add more calcium or more of something like that to their diet they are able to ingest that and pass that on (to whatever eats them).” “The trick for researchers like Ebony,” the narrator says, “is to create a diet that insects will not only choose to eat, but which loads them with bonus nutrients. But beyond nutrients, Ebony wants to investigate the potential for food to deliver medicines.” “We are analyzing the crickets to see how they metabolize CBD for
medicinal purposes. We just add those drops (of cannabidiol) to the feed and mix it up and we’re just going to let them eat it and see what the CBD is doing inside of the cricket.” Jenkins said. The research ties in with other multi-disciplinary research taking place through UMES’ Industrial Hemp Program. “If Ebony is successful,” the narrator says, “insects bred on customized food could one day treat both your hunger and your health.” Why eat insects? “Over two million people in the world currently consume insects as a protein source,” Jenkins said. “The insect-based world food market is currently valued at $105 million and is estimated to grow to $1.5 billion by 2021. Although the trend has not been readily adopted in the U.S., consuming insects makes sense economically and environmentally, she said, since insects use less energy, feed, land and water to raise than livestock.” Not only are they economically and environmentally ideal, they are also nutritious and plentiful. Of known animal species, two-thirds are insects. “Crickets contain more than twice the amount of protein compared to steak on the same weight basis,” Jenkins said. “Crickets and mealworms raised on U.S. farms have also been shown to lack common foodborne pathogens such as salmonella, staph, E. coli and listeria.” “Once we have the (research) findings,” she said. “I believe that it’s going to take off, because people want to know how they can become healthier, and if we can make people’s lives better — we did our job.” Gail Stephens, agricultural communications, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, School of Agricultural and Natural Sciences

‘Our Vote Counts’ Social justice mural now adorns the 1st foor lobby of Hazel Hall
The right to vote re-emerged in 2021 as a topic of public discourse and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore has weighed in on the topic with an artistic flourish. The first floor lobby of Hazel Hall is now the home of social justice message art that was part of a presidential election year exhibit at the BannekerDouglass Museum in Annapolis, Maryland’s museum on Black history and culture. The 2020 Black Vote Mural Project featured 15 works, one of which is now part of UMES’ permanent art collection: “Our Vote Counts” by James Stephen Terrell. His use of fluorescent colors makes the mural difficult to miss when entering the building. “The message of the mural shows the viewers that African Americans and those of African descent coming together to vote,” Terrell said. “Black men and black women are a united front. United we stand hand in hand.” The museum organized the exhibit to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote and the 150th anniversary of the 15th Amendment extending “the right … to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” When the 2020 exhibit closed, the museum and the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture shifted to the project’s second: donating the murals to organizations across the
state that prioritize Black art and history as agents of change. Susan Holt, UMES’ Mosely Gallery director, signaled counterpart Schillica Howard, the Banneker-Douglass Museum’s curator of collections & exhibits, that the university would welcome an addition to its art collection. “We were thrilled to be selected and, as one of the first organizations, we were able to pick our favorite piece,” Holt said. “The painting is an expressive abstraction with bright colors and a positive message. What a wonderful addition to our campus.” Simultaneously, Dr. Marshall F. Stevenson Jr., UMES’ dean of the School of Education, Social Sciences and the Arts, heard about distribution of the murals through his work as a member of the Maryland Lynching Truth and Reconciliation Commission. He endorsed acquisition of the Terrell piece and said he would have liked to have accepted additional pieces, but the museum wanted to spread the message statewide. Terrell’s acrylic-on-wood piece is so large – 8-feet by 8-feet – that it was painted on two panels, which provided a challenge for the UMES physical plant workers tasked with installing it earlier this month. Terrell studied art at Howard University and the Parson School of Art and Design, and currently teaches art. He also holds a degree in theology and ministry. His parents are the Rev. James E. Terrell, pastor of historic Second Baptist Church of Washington D.C., and Mary A. Terrell, a retired (D.C.) Superior Court associate judge. Stevenson also arranged earlier this year for a recently restored 1950s painting of the Korean War by late faculty member Jimmie Mosely to be hung in Hazel Hall as well.
