Moralists in the 17th century panicked over novels.

Moralists in the 17th century panicked over novels.

They reasoned that women, being somehow unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, would act out of immoral situations they read in novels. (We should all hope.)

The short version of my remarks this morning at the Opening ceremonies for the 62nd St. John Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar


This is the short version of my remarks this morning at the Opening ceremonies for the 62nd St. John Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar December 5, 2015 at 8:00 am

By Baltimore Sun writer Kevin E. Dayhoff, the former mayor of Westminster from 2001-2005

This year the bazaar is open from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
43 Monroe Street, Westminster, MD 21157

Good morning. On behalf of Westminster’s past and present elected officials, I would like to welcome you to the 62nd consecutive St. John Christmas Bazaar.

For the past 12-years I have been a journalist at the Baltimore Sun writing mostly history. At my age I am greatly amused that many events that took place in my childhood are now studied as history by today’s school children.

I look forward to the Christmas bazaar every year. When I was very young, the bazaar was part of a family adventure during the Christmas season.

During my high school years from 1969 through 1971, I often attended Mass at St. John with a good friend. I recall when the last Mass was held on February 4, 1968 at the church building on Main Street in town.

Last year when my wife Caroline and I were enjoying lunch at the bazaar with Mary Mussari, I was pleased when John Bryan asked me to speak at this year’s opening. Mr. Bryan told me that recently the ceremony has been dedicated to our servicemen and women – - and that this year we are paying a special recognition to Vietnam Vets.

It was just a few short weeks ago that our community came together to observe Veterans Day. No community does it better than Carroll County.

I served stateside in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1971 to 1973. Although I was not deployed, it has remained a sobering event in my life to have stepped-up the plate, despite a high draft number, signed on the dotted line, and
volunteered to serve during the Vietnam War.

This year, schools set the example for all of Carroll County by commemorating Veterans Day with many thoughtful, and well-planned services and programs.

In recent years Veterans Day has turned more somber. In the past, much of the community came together to celebrate the end of World War One and World War Two, and the Korean War.

Much of the nation saw nothing to celebrate for decades after the end of the Vietnam War. The war had dragged-on for over 19 years - for what seemed an eternity.

After the United States ended its direct involvement in the war on August 15, 1973, veterans were treated with scorn by the American left that proudly heaped insult upon injury upon those who served during the war.

Thankfully, the current youngest generation has seen fit to honor its veterans that have served proudly in the first and second Gulf Wars – and they treat Vietnam veterans with great dignity and respect.

Over 2.7 million Americans served in the Vietnam War. The average age was 19. Of that number, 300,000 were wounded in action, and 75,000 were disabled.

It has been estimated that almost 5 million military personnel and civilians, from all sides, lost their life in the Vietnam War. Of the 58,200 names listed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC, 1,046 are Marylanders who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Although many Vietnam era vets still harbor a deep-seated resentment as to how we were treated, the manner in which we are treated by the youngest generation brings tears to our eyes and has gone a long way to heal the wounds of decades of being abused and ignored.

Today, we pay a special tribute to the eighteen fallen heroes from Carroll County, whose faces are etched in the black granite monument in the Vietnam Memorial Park on Willis Street that was dedicated on May 28, 1990.

We hold dear in our hearts the eighteen names: Ronald Kenny; Christopher Miller, Jr.; Carl Egolf; James Byers; Russell Amoss; Russell Milberry; Everett Justice, Jr.; Michael Kidd; John Feezer; Sherman Flanagan, Jr.; Muriel Groomes; Joseph Oreto; Frederick Magsamen; Franklin Underwood, Jr.; James Zumbrun; Joseph Blickenstaff, Jr.; David Steger; and Herbert Mulkey, Jr.

The faces of the eighteen names on the monument are frozen in time. Some we knew. Some we didn’t. But they were all someone’s son or father or brother or uncle – or a cherished childhood friend. Their faces have been silent for many years, but they all have a story to tell.

Today it is only right to recall the profound words from Ephesians, “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, and be armed with the power of the Spirit, so that we may continue to make the Gospel understandable to those of us, who after many years, still have unanswered questions…”

God Bless and Semper Fi to all our brothers and sisters in uniform that served and died to protect our freedoms - and cannot attend the bazaar. Thank you for having me speak with you today. It was an honor.

Silently correctly your grammar

Silently correctly your grammar

Kevin Dayhoff Sunday, October 25, 2015

Oh my goodness. I have been doing this all my life – in spite of the fact that I certainly do not always use correct grammar. (Why do you think I like my editors so much?)

But all this morning at church, Sunday school, pastor’s study and at lunch; I have been “silently correcting grammar.” When I got home, I opened this awesome e-mail from Dave Selby and Sally Selby that had a link to this image. What a hoot. Thank you Dave and Sally Selby – this made my day.

Hurt - Long before there was Trent Reznor or Robert Smith there was Johnny Cash.



“Hurt” performed by Johnny Cash in 2002, and released on the album, “American IV: The Man Comes Around,” just before Mr. Cash died September 12, 2003.

“But I remember everything, [Chorus:] What have I become, My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away, In the end …” “Hurt,” originally by “Nine Inch NILS,” in April 17, 1995…

August 31, 2015 / KED

Long before there was Trent Reznor and "Nine Inch Nails" or Robert Smith and “The Cure,” there was Johnny Cash.

I just heard “Hurt” performed by Johnny Cash yesterday for the first time in several years. I was at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tenn.

“Hurt” reminds me of “Sinking,” from the “Head on the Door” album. Find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6mzdZXok5U


It is haunting. Awesome performance by one of the premier artists of the 20th Century. Dad introduced me to Johnny Cash in the late 1950s on AM radio when I would ride along with him on his Watkins Vending route all over Carroll County, Md.

According to the YouTube post: "This poignant performance of Nine Inch Nail's, "Hurt" is almost haunting, as it was recorded just prior to Cash's untimely death. Whether or not a Johnny Cash fan, this performance is powerful and deep with emotion. Produced by Rick Rubin, The Man Comes Around is the fourth and final Grammy Award-winning album Cash and Rubin have collaborated on"

Find the Nine Inch Nails' version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR4DjYczINM The Nine Inch Nails original is awesome.... I prefer the Johnny Cash version. Find the NIN version here:



JOHNNY CASH LYRICS

"Hurt"

(Originally by Nine Inch Nails)

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Speaking of “Nine Inch Nails,” of which I am, along with Johnny Cash and “The Cure,” a devoted fan; one of my all-time favorite stories of the days when I was an elected official was being interviewed by a Carroll County Times reporter who had an attitude and tonality that indicated that she clearly perceived me as a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal. An old sick, and homeless lead character with no redemptive qualities from Ian Anderson’s Jethro Tull’s concept album, the fourth album the band released in 1971, “AquaLung.”

At one point she asked me, “What was the last concert you attended?” To which I responded that I was really a cyborg and that in order to give me human-like qualities, I was programmed to be a Trent Reznor fan and I went to see “Nine Inch Nails.” That I knew very little about electric sheep, butterflies, or woodpeckers, but I got my instructions from a package of camel cigarettes. I usually get all my frustrations out on people with my keyboard, but that night, I got out all my frustrations in the mosh pit. She was quiet for a while….

“Sinking” by Robert Smith

"Sinking" “Head on the Door” 1985

I am slowing down
As the years go by
I am sinking
So I trick myself
Like everybody else

The secrets I hide
Twist me inside
They make me weaker

So I trick myself
Like everybody else
I crouch in fear and wait
I'll never feel again

If only I could remember
Anything at all
