I took some time out this evening to watch some C-SPAN. The moderator of the program, Brian Lamb was interviewing Christopher Hitchens, who I always find fascinating…
It reminded me of this piece I saw several weeks ago by Paul Bedard, published on April 11, 2009 that “Even at 67, C-SPAN Boss Brian Lamb Isn't Slowing Down.” / Kevin dayhoff April 26, 2009
With 30 years under his belt, Brian Lamb isn't ready to retire just because he's 67. He still wants cameras in courts and in secret press gatherings
Sixty-seven must be the new 47 for C-SPAN's Brian Lamb. He's sounds as feisty as ever as he looks to expand the cable's reach to federal courts and closed-door press events. When will he retire? "I have no idea," says the man behind the public service network that just turned 30. "I do enjoy it. I'm in good health and still have all the energy I ever had."
Read the entire piece here: Even at 67, C-SPAN Boss Brian Lamb Isn't Slowing Down

1971 "Smiling Faces Tell Lies" by "The Undisputed Truth"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I5mcaOm7KE
Smiling Faces was unsuccessfully originally recorded by the Temptations in 1971. Producer Norman Whitfield had the song re-recorded by the Undisputed Truth and released that same year, resulting in a number three Billboard Hot 100 Position. Smiling Faces was the ONLY top 40 single released by the "Undisputed Truth.
Lyrics
Smiling faces sometimes
pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces
of the evil that lurks within
Can you Dig it.
Smiling faces,
smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies
and I got proof
Oh Lord Yeah
Let me tell ya
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember
a smile is just a frown
turned upside down
My friend
So here me when I'm saying
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies
and I got proof
Beware,
beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Can you dig it, can you dig it
I'm telling you
Beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (jealousy)
Misery (misery)
Envy
I tell you, you can't see behind
smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes
Hey, they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces,
smiling faces
Tell lies
and I got proof
Hey
Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya
smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes
they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces,
smiling faces
Tell lies
and I got proof

Dayhoff: Getting the Community Media Center out of the closet
By Kevin Dayhoff,
Posted http://www.explorecarroll.com/ 4/21/09
Last Friday I had the pleasure of attending the rededication ceremony for the Carroll County Community Media Center.
More than 80 people attended, and it was a reunion for many of us who have watched this great community asset come out of a closet in a basement at what was then Western Maryland College to become a first-rate facility with many talented artists.
Marion Ware, executive director commented that “the rededication was to celebrate five years in this shared community resource… and to recognize all the people and organizations that have made the vision … of community and connections possible.”

The passion and the glory of grits
The passion and the glory of gritsApril 17, 2009 - August 10, 2007 Kevin Dayhoff
Every locale and region in the United States has its iconic food. And so it is that I’d like to bring up the subject of grits, a much maligned and misunderstood delicacy. Grits are a path to the American dream. A food for “everyman,” of which there is a dearth of availability in Carroll County.In a contemporary world in which we face so many complexities and challenges, perhaps the world would be better if Americans ate more grits.
We will never be able to ponder the depths of the value of this truly invaluable food.
Beyond a shadow of doubt grits are one of the food adaptations that have changed the world.

Zell admits ‘mistake’ in TribCo purchase
Zell admits ‘mistake’ in TribCo purchase
By: Lorene Yue April 15, 2009 Crain’s Chicago Business
(Crain’s) — Sam Zell admits that taking over Tribune Co. hasn’t gone according to plan and was a “mistake.”
“The definition if you bought something and it’s now worth a great deal less, you made a mistake,” he told Bloomberg Television on Wednesday. “And I’m more than willing to say I made a mistake. I was too optimistic in terms of the newspaper’s ability to preserve its position.”
The Chicago billionaire, who made his fortune from commercial real estate, was instrumental in taking the parent of the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times private through a complex deal that saddled it with $13 billion in debt. Tribune Co. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December, a move Mr. Zell said in Wednesday’s interview was necessary to “stop the bleeding and preserve a great company.”
The process that Mr. Zell used to take Tribune private caught the attention recently of the U.S. Department of Labor, which last month subpoenaed the company for documents related to its Employees Stock Ownership Plan, now the sole owner of Tribune Co.

Vivaldi’s spring by Kevin Dayhoff
Vivaldi’s spring

The image above is rare drawing of Antonio Vivaldi at work in his studio, in 1725, around the time he wrote “The Four Seasons.”
Let’s all hope that the recent warmer weather and sunshine are, in the words of Antonio Vivaldi, a sure sign that “springtime is upon us.”
Vivaldi, the famous Venetian Baroque music composer was born on March 4, 1678, in what was then known as the Republic of Venice. The son of barber, who later became a professional violinist; it is not well known that Vivaldi was ordained a priest in 1703. In September of that same year, he took a job as the violin teacher at Pio Ospedale della Peita – an orphanage, in Venice.
In 1725, he wrote, what is to many, his most famous work, “The Four Seasons”; a set of four violin concertos written to go long with four sonnets, which many historians believe he wrote himself.
Referred to as descriptive music, “The Four Seasons” were relatively revolutionary at the time and has influenced artists from many different media ever since. It is the ultimate collage – in this case, of music to describe words – the juxtaposition of various, otherwise disparate elements that come together to make a whole that has much more meaning than its individual components.
Although many are quite familiar with the music of Vivaldi’s “Spring,” few are familiar with the words: Spring – Concerto in E Major
Allegro: Springtime is upon us. The birds celebrate her return with festive song, and murmuring streams are softly caressed by the breezes. Thunderstorms, those heralds of spring, roar, casting their dark mantle over heaven, then they die away to silence, and the birds take up their charming songs once more.
Largo: On the flower-strewn meadow, with leafy branches rustling overhead, the goat-herd sleeps, his faithful dog beside him.
Allegro: Led by the festive sound of rustic bagpipes, nymphs and shepherds lightly dance beneath the brilliant canopy of spring.

Thornton Niven Wilder was born April 17, 1897, in Madison, Wisconsin.
Thornton Niven Wilder was born April 17, 1897, in Madison, Wisconsin.
“This is the way we were: in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying.” “Our Town,” Act 1 - Thornton Niven Wilder was born April 17, 1897, in Madison, Wisconsin.
Library of Congress Today in History: April 17
Thornton Niven Wilder was born April 17, 1897, in Madison, Wisconsin. Arguably one of the greatest playwrights of the twentieth century, Wilder is the only writer to win Pulitzer Prizes for both literature and drama.
Son of a U.S. diplomat, Wilder spent part of his childhood in China. After serving in the Coast Guard during World War I, he earned his B.A. at Yale University in 1920. Six years later, his first novel, The Cabala was published. In 1927, The Bridge of San Luis Rey brought commercial success and his first Pulitzer Prize. From 1930 to 1937 he taught at the University of Chicago.
Wilder's dramatic works include the Pulitzer Prize winning plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth. Set in fictional Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, Our Town (1938) employs a choric narrator called the "Stage Manager," and a minimalist set to underscore the universality of human experience. The Skin of Our Teeth debuted in 1942 with Frederic March and Talullah Bankhead in the lead roles. The themes are familiar—war, pestilence, economic depression, and fire. Ignoring the limits of time and space, just four main characters and three acts are used to review the history of mankind.
Wilder authored seven novels, three major full-length plays, as well as a variety of shorter works including essays, one-act plays, and scholarly articles. Greatly transformed, his play The Matchmaker became the Broadway and film hit Hello, Dolly!. His last novel, Theophilus North, was published in 1973. Wilder died in his sleep on December 7, 1975.
Wilder is just one of forty-one authors and playwrights photographed by Carl Van Vechten and available in Creative Americans: Portraits by Carl Van Vechten, 1932-1964. Also available is a biography of Van Vechten.
Search the Today in History Archive on writer to find additional features on American authors including pages on Wilder's contemporary F. Scott Fitzgerald and his good friend Gertrude Stein.

Chambers Bros "Time Has Come Today"
Chambers Bros "Time Has Come Today"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JygvU2haTTo
This is the long version - - Of course, if you are really a child of the 1960s, you can’t remember any of it; so this is offered to help to jog your memory. Turn on the black lights, crank this up to 11 and for pity sakes, do not set off any smoke alarms. Warning, this may cause a “flashback.” If so, just curl up in a fetal position with pillows, avoid bright lights, grab a bowl of corn pops cereal, and ride it out.
A note about YouTube and copyrighted material:
This video brings back great memories… However better yet - I was elated to read in the description of this video: “Chambers Bros ‘Time Has Come Today’ UMG has allowed this copyrighted material to be posted.”
Finally, FINALLY, at least some folks are waking up to the marketing potential of music on YouTube videos.
I have been meaning to make a list of all the record companies that have made me swap-out audios on my YouTubes, (http://www.youtube.com/user/kevindayhoff) so that I may remember to never, EVER, buy any material from them.
I have been a full-time practicing artist for most of my life and I fully appreciate protecting intellectual property – but I also know that I will have little in the way of “intellectual property to protect, if no one knows about my art – OR worse yet, I act in a brutish and boorish manner protecting it…
Perhaps, someone can provide more information on what material “UMG” has available – I will make a point of buying some of it.

David W. Herlocker and the Westminster Main Street Mile
David W. Herlocker and the 28th running of the Westminster Main Street Mile
April 15, 2009
Earlier this evening was the 28th running of the Westminster Main Street Mile. The event went well, in spite of the rain. And of course, another reason the event went well, was because of the excellent hard work of Beth Weisenborn, the Westminster Road Runners Club Webmaster and Main Street Mile Registration Director.
Other folks were greatly contributed include: Bob Paczynski, Alan Gowen, Jim Beacham, Scott Kohr, Alan Gowen Lynn Richardson, Linda Morris, Debbie Leathers, Christine Webbert, Kim and Robert Muhl, Pam Gowen, Grant Hadden Bob Sommerville, Tim Gosnell, Chris Reese, Jack Klein, Caroline Babylon, Gorman Davis, Jack Klein, Scott Kohr, Alan & Pam Gowen, Robert & Kim Muhl, Grant Hadden, Debbie Leathers, Christine Webbert, Carole Williamson, and Sharon Larrimore… (Beth, who did I miss?)
But before, during and after the race, my thoughts were of Dr. Dave Herlocker…
Dr. Herlocker was one of the patriarchs of the annual Westminster Road Runners Club Westminster Street Mile. He passed away last Friday, March 21, 2008.
He passed away Friday, March 21, 2008 right before the 27th running of the event. The race will hardly be the same without him.
Dave Herlocker was a well-respected scientist, McDaniel College professor, runner, community leader, fellow member of Grace Lutheran Church and a good friend.
Below, please find a video tribute to Dr. Herlocker. Some of the initial pictures in this video are my additions. Later, this tribute consists of the video that the family and Fletchers Funeral Home put together.

His obituary read:
David Webb Herlocker, 67, of Westminster, died unexpectedly but peacefully at his home on Friday, March 21, 2008.
Born October 30, 1940 in Chicago, Illinois, he is the son of Donald Herlocker and the late Betty Comfort Herlocker. He was raised in Peoria, Illinois.
He was a 1962 graduate of Knox College and graduated from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1966 with a doctorate in inorganic chemistry.
In 1966, he began a long career teaching chemistry at Western Maryland College, now McDaniel College. He served as the Chemistry Department chair department chair for many years. He retired in 2006 and was named an emeritus faculty member. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the American Chemical Society, and other professional organizations.
He began running in the mid 1970s and was a member of the Westminster and York Road Runner Clubs. He was an organizer of many road races in and around Westminster, including the Main Street Mile. After an accident in 1995 left him unable to run, he continued to walk daily with friends. He was a recognizable figure at many races with his loyal canine companion, Badie.
He was a long-time member of Grace Lutheran Church and served on the church council and scholarship committee. He was active in Ardent Folk, a ministry providing meals to those in need.
He was a member of the parent organizing committee which founded the Westminster Montessori School in 1974. He helped to develop and implement the school’s chemistry curriculum. Since his retirement he has volunteered weekly in their science classes.
An avid sports fan, he followed the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, and the McDaniel women’s basketball and volleyball teams. He was a 27-year member of a book club and a lover of history and trivia.
Remembering him are children and partners Caryn Herlocker Meade and Adam Meade of Raleigh, NC and Daniel Herlocker and Ellen Keelan of Brattleboro, VT; father Donald Herlocker of Canton, IL; brother and sister-in-law William and Hilda Herlocker of Kildeer, IL; sister and brother-in-law Linda and Peter Speck of Wanganui New Zealand; grandchildren Evan and Georgia Meade; former wife and friend Helen Herlocker; and numerous friends.
A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at Grace Lutheran Church, 21 Carroll St, Westminster with his pastors Rev. Kevin and Martha Clementson officiating.
Inurnment of ashes will be in Grace Lutheran Church Columbarium.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Grace Lutheran Church in support of the Ardent Folk social ministry.

April 16, 2009 - June 19, 2008
Mrs. Owl and I, Bob Ruby and Robin Stansbury – and the Westminster Fire Department have scheduled several fire prevention events in the recent past and more are scheduled for the near future…
And I recently wrote a column on “Recalling the devastating Westminster fire of 1906 By Kevin E. Dayhoff,” (Recalling the devastating Westminster fire of 1906 By Kevin E. Dayhoff Other recent columns by Kevin Dayhoff)
… In which I noted: “Fire safety remains a serious concern for out community even today. Just last Saturday, my wife, Miss Caroline, Westminster firefighter Bob Ruby and I staffed a fire prevention and safety booth at the William Winchester Elementary School Spring Carnival.
It is never too early to start teaching your children fire safety. As history shows us -- it's everyone's concern and it can be a matter of life and death.”
For the upcoming fire prevention events at some of the local schools, what do you think of showing the video below?
I mean, it would get their attention – and probably would not be forgotten quickly… Well, take a look and tell me what ya think?

Spring is for sunshine, flowers, and baseball.
Spring is for sunshine, flowers, and baseball.
(c) By Kevin Dayhoff Sunday, April 12, 2009 (Art: "Baltimore Baseball" April 12, 1988 by Kevin Dayhoff)
Well, spring weather is about to make its debut in Maryland. I can’t wait for warmer weather. My first clue was last week. It was the beginning of baseball season.
I could tell for two reasons. One, the sports fan in my family, my wife, Miss Caroline, told me. She is already rearranging her schedule to listen to, or watch baseball.
Another sign occurred late last week at a stop light in Westminster. As I sat there with my New Jersey tollbooth collector thousand-mile stare pondering my schedule and wondering how I was going to manage to be in two places later on in the day; my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a steady stream of profanities.
I just assumed it was the usual Westminster Main Street regulars. As I slunk down in my seat ever so slightly, a well-dressed woman in the car next to me caught my eye.
Actually, she caught my ear. Lo and behold, next to me, in a newer model luxury automobile was a rather sophisticated-looking lady with the baseball game on the radio turned up loudly.
And she was swearing-up a storm about the current abilities of the Baltimore Oriole pitchers. Unfortunately the light changed before I could grab my camera and catch an instant YouTube hit…
Now that I think about it. If spring is for sunshine, flowers, and baseball; then this young lady was right in synch. She was after-all yelling at the top of her lungs, and using flowery language about how the pitcher could put the baseball where the sun does not shine.
Only she yelled it in a more colorful manner.
I’m a pathetic sports fan. Miss Caroline keeps me informed on the latest developments in the sports world so I don’t sound like a total dork when the conversation at a social event turns to sports.
Of course, Miss Caroline would prefer that I not sound like the “rather sophisticated-looking lady with the baseball game on the radio” at the stoplight in Westminster.
Next time you find yourself traveling through Westminster and you come upon an intersection and spot a light brown late model Mercedes – roll up your window. That is, unless you wish to hear some interesting and colorful ad-lib sportscasting… about how spring is for sunshine, flowers, and baseball.

Well, spring weather is about to make its debut in Maryland. I can’t wait for warmer weather. My first clue was last week. It was the beginning of baseball season.
I could tell for two reasons. One, the sports fan in my family, my wife, Miss Caroline, told me. She is already rearranging her schedule to listen to, or watch baseball.
Another sign occurred late last week at a stop light in Westminster. As I sat there with my New Jersey tollbooth collector thousand-mile stare pondering my schedule and wondering how I was going to manage to be in two places later on in the day; my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a steady stream of profanities.
I just assumed it was the usual Westminster Main Street regulars. As I slunk down in my seat ever so slightly, a well-dressed woman in the car next to me caught my eye.
Actually, she caught my ear. Lo and behold, next to me, in a newer model luxury automobile was a rather sophisticated-looking lady with the baseball game on the radio turned up loudly.
And she was swearing-up a storm about the current abilities of the Baltimore Oriole pitchers. Unfortunately the light changed before I could grab my camera and catch an instant YouTube hit…
Now that I think about it. If spring is for sunshine, flowers, and baseball; then this young lady was right in synch. She was after-all yelling at the top of her lungs, and using flowery language about how the pitcher could put the baseball where the sun does not shine.
Only she yelled it in a more colorful manner.

Condoleezza Rice, an avid sports fan, has talked in the past about wanting to become NFL commissioner. So maybe it's not too surprising that following up her stint as secretary of state, Rice would take up sportswriting.
Rice's first offering, a report from the Masters tournament, is now up on The Daily Beast.

Mills' contributions to hospital follow a healthful tradition
Posted on http://www.explorecarroll.com/ 4/12/09 http://tinyurl.com/cylr5j
On April 3, the Carroll Hospital Center Foundation Founders Dinner honored the newest recipient of its Founders Circle Community Spirit Award, G. Melvin Mills Jr. Mills joins previous honorees Atlee Wampler, David and Betty Scott, Charles Fisher Sr., Scott and Anita Bair, Jack Gambatese, Jack Tevis and Steve Bohn.
Throughout our history there are many examples of basic needs of our community that have been addressed by the private sector.
Look no further than our local hospital. Talk of the need for a hospital in our community goes as far back as the 1880s, and its history is filled with stories of private individuals who worked hard to ensure that it was built.
Many folks in the community may take the hospital for granted, but its success has been greatly supported by the community.
At this year's Founders ceremony, held at St. John's Portico in Westminster, the event's 240 guests also were acknowledged for their generosity and ongoing financial support of the hospital, Carroll Hospice and the hospital auxiliary.
Jack Tevis, chair of the hospital foundation board; John Sernulka, hospital CEO; Charlie Fisher Jr., chair of board of directors; and the 2007 Spirit Award recipient, Steve Bohn, all shared in presenting Mills with the 2009 award for his contributions of time, talent and resources to the hospital since the mid-1980s.
Mills served on the foundation board of trustees from 1995 to 2005. From 2001 to 2005 he chaired the board while also serving on the hospital's board of directors. And during his 10 years of service, more than $15 million was raised on behalf of the hospital and Carroll Hospice.
Also recognized for her contributions was Mills' wife Linda -- as we all know, no one can do great things for the community without the support of family.
[…]
Finally, I should note that Sherri Hosfeld Joseph, the hospital foundation's director of development, helped me with information for this week's column. If you'd like to learn more about the work of the foundation, give her a call at 410- 871-6200.

After Hamas, the terrorist organization that has controlled the Gaza Strip since June 2007, unilaterally broke a cease-fire on December 19 and resumed shelling southern Israel, Israeli warplanes sprang to Israel’s defense December 27 by attacking Hamas throughout Gaza. Hamas responded immediately with “Pallywood.”

GREEN & GLOVER EXTRA: Fox News' Megyn Kelly pregnant
GREEN & GLOVER EXTRA: Fox News' Megyn Kelly pregnant
http://tinyurl.com/czcj8w Washington Times
By Stephanie Green and Elizabeth Glover Monday, April 13, 2009
Fox cub?
The lady spies have learned that Fox News "America's Newsroom" anchor Megyn Kelly is expecting her first child in October.
“The 38-year-old Ms. Kelly” has been rumored to have been linked with Carroll County’s own Jamie Kelly in the past. See: http://tinyurl.com/cpmqpn “Jamie Kelly and Megyn Kendall link rumors denied”
Then again, Mr. Kelly was also to have been rumored to have had a liaison with Katie Couric also… http://tinyurl.com/cywrzb “Katie the cougar Couric goes triathlon”
So far, no rumor has ever stuck to the elusive, well-dressed, and erudite Mr. Kelly – and now that he has removed himself to Iowa, it has, unfortunately, been increasing difficult to keep tabs on him…
Meanwhile, Ms. Megyn Kelly has since moved on from whatever relationship she may have had – or not have had – with Mr. Kelly and has since “married her husband Doug Brunt last year.”
Mr. Kelly, who is well known for decorum, maintaining confidences and keeping his month shut – has hardly ever uttered a word.
