STA Charitable Legacy
Benefits Maritime
Industries Academy
T
he Steamship Trade Association of
Baltimore (STA) Charitable Legacy
donated $10,000 to the Maritime
Industries Academy High School. The
money was raised at the Guy Fernandez
Memorial Golf Tournament, which took
place last June.
The tournament is held in memory of
the late husband of JoAnne Zawitoski, a
principal at Semmes, Bowen and Semmes.
The event raises money to help prevent heart
disease and sponsor local organizations that
help kids in the community, including the
Maritime Industries Academy.
The STA Charitable Legacy was founded
by Ports America Chesapeake’s Mark
Montgomery and Michael Angelos with the
Steamship Trade Association. Ports America
Chesapeake is the main sponsor for the
event, but during the last five years, the
event has grown to include sponsors such
as Atlantic Container Line, Semmes and The
Propeller Club of Baltimore.
T
he Maryland Port
Administration (MPA) earned
seven 2011 Marcom Awards,
which recognize excellence
in marketing and communications.
The competition includes Fortune 500
companies, advertising and public relations
agencies, hospitals and universities.
The MPA received the awards for its
website,
as well
as two ads produced in-house for the Port
of Baltimore, a trade show exhibit,
Port of
Baltimore Magazine
, a marketing kit and
the 2012 cruise schedule rack card.

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS
On the Way
B
roening Highway, the main artery to the Port of Baltimore’s Seagirt and
Dundalk marine terminals, is scheduled to undergo major resurfacing and
repairs starting this spring.
The work will involve the section of Broening Highway from Holabird Avenue to the
Colgate Creek bridge. The road will be resurfaced with reinforced concrete from the
Colgate Creek bridge to Keith Avenue, and an asphalt paving overlay will be used from
Keith Avenue to Holabird Avenue.
The project, estimated to cost between $15 million and $20 million, also includes
redeveloping the Keith Avenue ramp to allow for two-way traffic to and from Keith
Avenue. Construction is expected to start in March and should take about 22 months.
