February 25, 2013Statement From San Diego Unified School District on Con Man Swim Coach James Pantera
February 26, 2013Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, Maryland’s secretary of health, emailed me last night to say that the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene would be issuing a statement on the Meadowbrook Aquatic Center’s report on the October 28, 2012, incident in which 14-year-old North Baltimore Aquatic Club swimmer Louis Lowenthal drowned. I have criticized the incident report as tardy — illegally so — as well as incomplete and inaccurate.
Dr. Clifford Mitchell, chief of the department’s Environmental Health Bureau, emailed this morning, “I am preparing a more detailed response.”
