Powell joins distinguished club of former Carroll County
Chiefs of Staff Eagle Archives by Kevin Dayhoff May 5, 2014
The recent resignation of Steve Powell, chief of staff for
the Board of Commissioners for Carroll County, brought back memories of other
distinguished individuals in county history who have endured that arduous
position: Richard "Pat" Hill, Robert A. "Max" Bair and
George A. Grier, to name a few.
In full disclosure, this writer had the honor and privilege
to have worked with every county chief of staff — executive assistant — since
the position was created in 1959.
[…]
Whether you agreed or disagreed with them, those who have
held the position deserve a special place in our hearts and prayers for their
service and commitment to Carroll County; for it is a wonder they are able to
retire and not be committed: On any given day, the chief must keep the wheels
of government running smoothly.
[…]
Often, my visits to the office of the chief of staff
reminded me of the lyrics to the 1970 David Bowie song, "All the
Madmen": "Day after day / They take some brain away / Then turn my
face around / To the far side of town / And tell me that it's real / Then ask me
how I feel." http://youtu.be/jb7Xdu7STx8

[…]
Meanwhile, it is only fitting that Powell will be leaving to
take a job in a retirement home — as vice president of finance for Carroll
Lutheran Village. Join me in wishing him the best.

This quiz can help you find the right denomination
January 7, 2011
Churchmouse Campanologist
Ringing the bells for
Christian traditions and getting our story out there. If we don’t, who will?
Many of us wonder why
we’re dissatisfied with the church we attend.
For some, this might be because the clergy displace biblical teachings
in favour of more worldly, including political, ones. However, others might be attending church in
a denomination which might not suit their theological beliefs.
So, how do we know
what denomination might be correct for us? Here’s a 24-question multiple-choice quiz that
can help clarify which church might be best for you, the Christian Denomination
Selector. It’s free and you don’t need
to register or leave an email address in order to discover the results.
OMG. My results indicate that I am 100 % Episcopal/Anglican
Church and 72 % Evangelical Lutheran Church and Methodist Wesleyan. I guess
this makes sense since my family are historically royalists - and I was raised
in the United Methodist Church. Do not tell my family or my pastors, LOL. Does
this mean I can’t be on the church council – or does it mean I get extra
committee assignments? God Save the Queen.

Sherrill Cooper is the featured artist at Off Track Art for May and June 2014
Sherrill Cooper is the featured artist at Off Track Art for
May and June 2014
Off Track Art, an artists’ cooperative in downtown
Westminster, will host an opening reception for Sherrill Cooper on Friday, May
2, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Ms. Cooper is the featured artist at Off Track Art
for May and June 2014.
Sherrill has an extensive body of work that reflect her love
of the figure.
"I love people watching,” says Ms. Cooper. “The way they sit, stand, their overall
posture and attitude fascinates me. I am drawn to the figure absorbed in
contemplation—capturing their inner sense of isolation. I seek to communicate
their emotions at that particular time. I want the viewer to feel what the subject
is feeling…
According to her artist’s statement and brief biographical
sketch, “Sherrill Cooper's studio feels
like a tree house. It overlooks a lush, dense oak forest in Finksburg, MD.
In this setting
Sherrill has found a way to merge her two passions: illustration and painting
in oil.
She has enjoyed a successful
30 year career as an illustrator. Now
that she has raised two children, she finds more time to paint.
Illustration has taught
her composition, color, creativity, expression, and most of all draftsmanship.
These disciplines
serve her well when she applies paint to canvas. She seeks to distill all of her experiences
in to each painting with fresh concepts, strong design sensibilities, emotional
brushstrokes, and rich and textural color.
The figure interests
Sherrill most. Particularly those
moments of contemplation when people are caught-up in their thoughts and
emotions.
Attitude, body
language and posture are what she seeks to communicate with the viewer.
Choosing the correct
value is essential. Putting it down only
once, with the appropriate brush and stroke. These are choices that I make very
carefully. If I get them right, the painting, like the person moves and
breathes. - Sherrill Cooper
For inquires, or to see more paintings, visit www.sherrill@tsherrillcooper.com.
For over 5-years, the partners in the coop have been
dedicated to advancing the arts in Westminster as well as the careers, ideas,
and artistic visions of its members.
The coop partners include, Kevin Dayhoff, Gail Elwell, Linda
Van Hart, Judy Goodyear, Charlotte Laslo, Joyce Schaum, Carolyn Seabolt, Robert
Waddell, Nick Corso, and Gordon Wickes.
The inspiration for forming the co-op was spearheaded by
local artists Susan Williamson & Pam Zappardino. After discussions and
organizational meetings in December 2008, Off Track opened its doors in January
2009 and had its grand opening on Feb. 13th, 2009.
If you come: the Opening Reception for painter Sherrill
Cooper is scheduled for May 2, 2014, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Memories of Walt Disney's Perri, a 1957 Big Golden Book
Memories of Walt Disney's Perri, a 1957 Big Golden Book
According to oral tradition “Perri,” is the first book I
ever read.
Who knows? But it makes for a great story. Although, right
at this moment, I cannot lay my hands on my copy of the book, I still have the
book and I have quite a soft-spot for the book and the memories of reading the
book. The book has been by my bedside for about 55 years and recently I
endeavored to put it away in a safe place. Well, we all know how that
works-out.
Perri, it seems was also a movie that was released on August
28, 1957 by Walt Disney. The movie was based on a 1938 book by Felix Salten, by
the same name. Salten also earlier wrote Bambi.
The story is essentially about the life and times and
adventures of the main character, Perri, is a female squirrel that braves the
threats of a marten, a weasel or ferret-like fury animal, a cold winter and a forest
fire. Perri falls in love with Porro and together they face various challenges and
dangers of the forest, along with the beavers, rabbits and deer of “Beaver
Valley.”
April 29, 2014 KED
Curious – and to test my memory, I did a search on Perri and
found this
web page which has some pictures of the inside of the book. This will do
for now, until I find my copy of the book…
Links: 11/29/2012, “walt disney’s perri.” http://friendlyghost.typepad.com/lost_found_vintage_toys/2012/11/walt-disneys-perri.html

The sapling was then moved down the street to the grounds of

But with warmer weather on the horizon, it is time to
celebrate not only Westminster's 250 years of history but also the anniversary
of two important institutions in town, the Chamber of Commerce and the
Historical Society of Carroll County.
[…]
In the coming months, this space in the Carroll Eagle will
revisit several of the articles published in the past 10 years on the history
of Westminster, the Chamber of Commerce and its historical society.
Those interested in the area's rich past should not overlook

On April 12, 1946, Maryland Gov. Herbert O'Conor
"announced his decision to provide permanent automobile registration tags
for motor vehicles in the State," according to a local newspaper.
The Westminster newspaper, the Democratic Advocate, reported
O'Conor to have "declared," that using two license plates on each
motor vehicle in the state will "save $60,000 annually."
More research is needed to understand how two license plates
would save the state money.
"This is the plan we intended to inaugurate a few years
ago, but due to the war, and the shortage of metals, our plan had to be
delayed," O'Conor said.
One thing is for sure. A quick search of the Maryland
General Assembly website indicates that license plates are a perennial hot
topic.
During the 2013 regular session, for example, there were 11
bills proposed, ranging from providing special tags for "United States
Armed Forces," to changing the law so that only one "registration
plate" would be required per vehicle.
For a number of years, the single plate legislation has been
introduced by Del. Donald Elliot, a Republican who represents District 4B that
includes parts of Carroll and Frederick counties.
In the session that concluded last week, legislators
submitted eight bills for consideration, including Elliott's.
The 2014 legislative initiative failed, after receiving an
unfavorable report from the Environmental Matters Committee.

#Baseball, #Westminster, #Orioles, #History, #Carroll
County, #Maryland,
Roses are red, violets are blue. I hate snow ... and you
should too.
For those with a bad case of chionophobia — a fear of snow —
no worries, spring is near. We know this because last Monday was Opening Day
for the Baltimore Orioles.
After yet another unexpected Maryland snowstorm, the weather
gave way to warmer temperatures and blue skies on March 31.
According to The Baltimore Sun, "a sellout crowd of
46,685 filled the ballpark" to see the Orioles defeat the defending world
champion Boston Red Sox, 2-1.
Baseball has a long history in Baltimore. The current
Baltimore Orioles franchise began playing baseball in 1954 in the old Memorial
Stadium on 33rd Street, after it was announced on Sept. 28, 1953, that the St.
Louis Browns were moving to Baltimore.
Historian Jay Graybeal researched the event for the
Historical Society of Carroll County several years ago and wrote, "One of
the great stories from the County's sports history is the June 1885 baseball
game between the Westminster Base Ball Club and the Baltimore Orioles. …"
Graybeal quoted an old newspaper article which noted,
"The Westminster Base Ball Club on Monday last, the 22d, won the most
remarkable victory in their history, defeating (the) Baltimore team by a score
of 9 to 7."
On that same date in 1962, Boog Powell became the first
player to hit a ball over the hedge in center field at Memorial Stadium,
according to a book of Orioles history by Ted Patterson.
Go Orioles.

On March 30, 1923, in the depths of prohibition, a local newspaper rang the alarm that “About 25 men, all from Baltimore, it is reported, attempted to raid McGinnis Distillery in Carroll County, just east of Westminster.”
It needs to be noted that although prohibition, known as the
“Volstead Act,” did not go into effect throughout the nation until January 20,
1920; Carroll countians voted to outlaw the sale of alcohol in the county
six-years earlier - in 1914, according to research by historian Jay Graybeal
for the Historical Society of Carroll County.
Prohibition remained the law of the land until President
Franklin Roosevelt signed into law the Cullen-Harrison Act on March 23, 1933.

Westminster Methodist minister Lowell Ensor helped raise
awareness of civil rights in 1940s
Anyone remember the Rev. Dr. Lowell Ensor, the pastor at the
Westminster United Methodist from 1940 – 1947 and later became the president of
Western Maryland College – now McDaniel, from 1947 – June 30, 1972? http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0323-20140325,0,3448847.story

In 1945, institutional racism in Maryland was a hot topic.
In part, the discussion was driven by pragmatism in that, according to research
by historian Kenneth D. Durr, more than 20 percent of the population in
Baltimore was said to be black. But because of housing segregation laws, the
city's black population was squeezed into 2 percent of the city's land mass.
Lowell Ensor would later assume the office of president of
the college, now McDaniel, on July 1, 1947, according to Lightner's history of
the college, "Fearless and Bold." He served until June 30, 1972, and
died in 1975.

Current tensions in Ukraine bring back memories of Cold War
Eagle Archives

Who can remember the school air raid drill in which you were
to hide underneath your desk – or in the hallway? Remember, drop to the floor,
duck and cover your head, to protect yourself from flying debris and getting
burned by the nuclear blast. Some schools distributed dog tags so that the
bodies of the dead students could easily be identified.
On March 16, 1972, an article in The Carroll Record
explained one of the basic building blocks of the Cold War era, the fallout
shelter.
"Today's Paper Has Community Fallout Shelter Plan — The
new community fallout shelter plan for Carroll County is included in this
newspaper. …"
The article reported, "According to the County
commissioners, 'The information developed in the plan could save the lives of
thousands of persons in the event of attack. …' "
The recent tensions between Russia and the West over the
civil unrest in the Ukraine and Crimean Peninsula have renewed an interest in
Cold War nostalgia.

Streets and history of Westminster intersect at odd angles
[Eagle Archives]
By Kevin Dayhoff March 4, 2014 http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0302-20140304,0,1024009.story
Many residents today may not recall the crazy-quilt
"dog leg" intersection of John, Bond and Main streets, or the equally
mismatched collision of Main and Liberty streets, Railroad Avenue, and the
train tracks in Westminster.
Years ago, these intersections did not look anything like
they do now. Today, they form a perfect "cross."
But years ago, a motorist traveling south on John Street or
Railroad Avenue had to make a 90-degree right turn onto Main Street, then hang
a quick left to get on either Liberty or Bond Street and get through the
intersection.
It may have worked well enough in the horse and buggy days.
But by the 1970s, it was nuts.
Finally, sanity ruled and the two intersections and the
bridge over the railroad tracks on East Green Street were rebuilt in the
mid-1970s.
Many years ago, the area that we now know as John and
Carroll streets in Westminster was known as the "space between."
