Headline: Miller to sit out Terps' first dance; Limping forward won't start in NCAA opener against Iona; Holden, Nicholas are ready; `We'll see how well I can get' in short period

Obituary: MINNEAPOLIS -- The NCAA tournament will begin with some improvisation from Maryland.
Sophomore forward Danny Miller sat out his second straight practice yesterday, and he might be unavailable when the third- seeded Terps take on 14th-seeded Iona in an NCAA tournament Midwest Regional opener tonight. It is the policy of coach Gary Williams not to start a player who missed the previous day's practice.
Freshmen Tahj Holden and Drew Nicholas have been readied to start at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Nicholas would give the Terps a three-guard lineup against a quick, athletic upstart, but limit Maryland's options off the bench. More likely is a start for Holden, which would shift Terence Morris to small forward and increase the Terps' size advantage.
"If Danny can't play, we've had some practice with the other guys”, Williams said. "We can't let it affect us. Danny is a good role player, and we'll miss his defense more than anything if he can't play."
Miller sprained his left ankle in the first half of Sunday's Atlantic Coast Conference championship game, and was used for only nine minutes in an 81-68 loss to No. 1 Duke. He has been undergoing whirlpool treatments and elevating the leg, trying to reduce the swelling on the inside of his ankle.
"We'll make a decision tomorrow [today] on whether I can play," said Miller, who talked about the necessity of not practicing. "I just didn't want to put any more stress on it. This is very difficult, because I want to be practicing with the team, getting ready for tomorrow. We'll see how well I can get in a short period of time.
"It's hard to sit and watch, especially this time of year. Other times of the year, you can take your time. This time of year, you lose and you go home."
Nicholas started the second half against Duke, when Williams said he wanted to disrupt only one position, small forward, instead of two, that and Morris' power forward spot. Holden started in place of Morris against Clemson on Jan. 22, when the junior rested an ankle sprain. That's the last time a Maryland regular missed a game.
"I'm pretty much prepared to start if I have to," Holden said. "I had to do it earlier when Terence was hurt. Even with Danny in there, we have a height advantage on them. With Terence moving to the three, that makes us even bigger. Their front line, can they handle that?"
In a tournament that is supposed to be as wide-open as any in NCAA history, uncertainty about its rotation would normally add to the Terps' apprehension, but Maryland (24-9) has some sure things that Iona (20-10) does not.
The Gaels have a splendid slasher in Tariq Kirksay, who has had 10 days to recover from the back injury he incurred when he hit the floor hard in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship game. Miller would probably mark Kirksay under normal circumstances, so Maryland could play some zone.
Coach Jeff Ruland's team has surged since senior Jason Young won back the starting point guard spot he had lost to freshman Maceo Wofford. Juan Dixon and Steve Blake will oblige if Iona wants to run, and center Lonny Baxter poses matchup problems for the Gaels.
"There's a reason they're a three seed," said Ruland, who was the center in 1980 on the last Iona team to win an NCAA tournament game.
"In some ways, I think they parallel us a little bit. They only play eight guys, and I really like the kid Blake at the point; he's a little like Jason.
"They have a real wide-body in Baxter. We have some size, but he's what Al McGuire used to call an aircraft carrier."
Iona is down to eight scholarship players and a walk-on who moonlights on Staten Island as a male stripper. The Gaels do have five holdovers from 1998, when Syracuse made a late three-pointer to repel Iona in the first round.
An upset loss might be the only way Maryland gets noticed here.

Obituary: Ethel Beatrice Stephens, 94, hunting preserve owner
Ethel Beatrice Sorrell Stephens, an innkeeper who entertained generals, political leaders and her beloved Baltimore Orioles at a Brookeville game preserve, died Thursday of congestive heart failure at Westminster Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. She was 94.
Mrs. Stephens, who lived in Mount Airy, was born and reared at Twin Oaks, an estate in Washington, where her father was carriage driver, chauffeur and bodyguard to the Bell family, close relatives of Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone.
In 1945, she and her husband C. C. "Nick" Stephens opened the first licensed hunting preserve in Maryland, the Triggaland Kennel and Game Farm in Brookeville.
Mrs. Stephens prepared home-style dinners -- her husband conducted the hunts -- for such guests as Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., Columbia founder James W. Rouse and many players for the Baltimore Orioles, the couple's favorite baseball team. The couple moved the preserve to Mount Airy in 1959.
Mr. Stephens died in 1967.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. tomorrow at Olin L. Molesworth P.A. Funeral Home, 26401 Ridge Road in Damascus.
She is survived by two sons, Frederick W. Stephens of Manchester and Irving E. Stephens of Monrovia; a daughter, Betty L. Phucas of Silver Spring; two brothers, John M. Sorrell of Grass Valley, Calif., and William A. Sorrell of Landover; 10 grandchildren, six great- grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

 

Headline: Phoebe Rhea Berman, 89, philanthropist, art lover

Obituary: Phoebe Rhea Berman, a philanthropist who endowed the Johns Hopkins Bioethics Institute, died of heart failure Saturday at Fernwood, her Green Spring Valley home. She was 89.
One of Baltimore's most celebrated hostesses, she owned a thoroughbred racing stable, published a newspaper and collected modern art.
"She possessed what has become a lost sense of civic duty," said Doreen Bolger, director of the Baltimore Museum of Art. "She supported the fabric of the community."
In 1988, Mrs. Berman presented the museum with a painting by artist Mark Rothko, "Black on Red," which Ms. Bolger called "a staggering gift." It remains on permanent display.
For years, Mrs. Berman was a benefactor of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, endowing an international health professorship in her husband's name and helping create the Edgar Berman and Hubert Humphrey Fund in International Health.
"Phoebe's support said worlds about her foresight and her commitment to making a better world," said William R. Brody, president of the Johns Hopkins University.
"As a philanthropist, she could be personally modest," said retired Circuit Judge Elsbeth L. Bothe, a friend for 50 years. "I went to a concert at the Peabody Conservatory -- and in small print, the program said she had underwritten the whole thing. She didn't even go herself."
Mrs. Berman, who enjoyed classical music, was a patron of Peabody Conservatory concerts.
In a 1990 letter to The Sun, she called Peabody "a pillar of culture" and a "prized jewel in our midst." She funded the current restoration of Peabody's Shapiro House in the 600 block of Washington Place -- a home she had owned in the 1950s.
Her surgeon husband, Dr. Edgar Berman, wrote provocative books, including the 1976 best-seller "The Solid Gold Stethoscope," in which he skewered money-loving physicians. He died in 1987.
"Despite her refined classical features, blue eyes, natural burnished-copper hair and lovely figure, Phoebe was not a hothouse flower. She could still ride a horse in the morning, work in her garden for six hours, manage a large home, and then go to a symphony that night as fresh as when she had awakened," her husband wrote in a
1986 book.
The couple, who married in 1952, lived for years in a spacious residence on West Mount Vernon Place that overlooked the park and fountain.
Always interested in medical issues, in 1997 she endowed the Hopkins Bioethics Institute -- a multidisciplinary unit with a mission of bringing the moral dimension of health policy to medical practice.
In 1960, she accompanied her husband for an extended stay as volunteers at Albert Schweitzer's hospital at Lambarene in what was then French Equatorial Africa.
"I wasn't the best wife, by a long shot, for a doctor. Maybe it was cowardliness. I didn't ever want to be around hospitals. I came from a large family with a lot of tragedy and sickness and maybe that affected me," she said in a 1988 interview in the Johns Hopkins Public Health magazine.
"I volunteered to work in the garden to do anything, to work in the leper colony," she said in the 1988 interview. "But please, I told them, try to spare me the hospital."
When an epidemic broke out in the Schweitzer hospital nursery, she became a volunteer nurse working with sick babies and dying children.
Her interest in horse racing linked to her skills as a hostess.
Often in May, during the running of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, she gave parties at her home.
"She didn't tolerate any kind of pretense. She loved to ask questions, and she loved to debate," said Sylvia Eggleston Wehr, a Johns Hopkins dean and friend. "She was a wonderful hostess, and she always gathered a fascinating array of people."
Mrs. Berman owned several horses, including three named for her -- Phoebe's Donkey, Phoebe's Favorite and Phoebe's Fancy.
"She was a unique lady," said J. William Boniface of Bonita Farm in Darlington, who trained her horses for 30 years. "She had an uncanny instinct in buying horses and art."
Born in Callensburg in western Pennsylvania, the former Phoebe Rhea graduated from Clarion State Teachers College in Pennsylvania.
She moved to Baltimore and was a sales associate for the old Marie Codd real estate firm in the 1940s.
In the 1960s, she owned and edited the Carroll County Times with her husband.
No services are to be held.
She is survived by a sister, Rachel Burns of Sligo, Pa.
