Belle Grove Square Holiday House tour in Westminster slated for Dec. 11, 2010 3-8 p.m.

DAYHOFF: Touring history, and holiday finery, at Belle Grove Square

Eagle Archive By Kevin Dayhoff


At the last meeting of the Westminster mayor and Common Council, two venerable and historic Westminster neighborhoods were placed under zoning protections in an effort to preserve and protect them for future generations. (See page 5. http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/4960/westminster-officials-adopt-zoning-changes-willis-street-belle-grove/)

The two neighborhoods involved in the adopted zoning changes, Belle Grove Square and Willis Street, are steeped in history and tradition in Westminster.

The origins of Belle Grove Square date back to 1866…


Fast-forwarding, folks will have the opportunity to tour the historic Belle Grove Square neighborhood Dec. 11, 3-8 p.m., when the community opens its doors for the Westminster Historic District Commission's biannual Historic Holiday House Tour.

The last time the community had the opportunity to celebrate its historic homes was on the occasion of the first holiday house tour in 1996. Bruce DeVault, the president of the neighborhood association, is excited about the tour. He said it'll be a unique opportunity to see inside some of Westminster's hidden treasures.

The tour "is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the history of our town," said Melissa Hynes, Westminster's comprehensive planner.

Tickets -- $10 in advance; $12 at the door -- are on sale at the city administrative offices, City Hall, the Historical Society, Carroll Arts Center and the Hickory Stick.

It should be noted that Congress hasn't formally acted on the issue since the last immigration reform measures were passed in 1986 -- a point not lost on New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson when he addressed the Capitolbeat conference....

George D. Sirinakis, 81, of Westminster, MD

Labels: , ,
George D. Sirinakis, 81, of Westminster, MD

Wednesday, November 3 2010

Sirinakis, George D. passed away last Wednesday.  Pritts Funeral Home published the following obituary on its website, http://www.prittsfuneralhome.com/:

George Dimitrios Sirinakis, 81, of Westminster, died Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at home.

Born on October 4, 1929 in Skyros, Greece, he was the son of the late Dimitrios George and Kyparissia Efthasiou Sirinakis. He was married for 52 years to Zoe A. Sirinakis.

Mr. Sirinakis arrived at the port of Baltimore as a Greek Merchant Marine in October 1957. At that time he was introduced to his wife by a cousin living in Baltimore. After finishing his tour of duty he returned in May 1958 and was married in June of that same year.

In 1959, he and his wife bought Harry’s Lunch from her parents, Aristidis “Harry” and Vasiliki Amprazis.

In July 1976 they moved the restaurant to its present location on Main Street, Westminster.

They retired in 1987 and sold the business to their son Harry in 1990; today it is known as Harry’s Main Street Grille. Mr. and Mrs. Sirinakis were also the owners of Harry’s Sub Shop from 1976-2010.

With only an elementary school education, he learned English while settling in Westminster, Mr. Sirinakis became a pillar in the local business community. He was a past member of The American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA); a member of the Elks Lodge #2277 and the Moose Lodge.

He belonged to Saints Peter and Paul Greek Orthodox Church in Frederick, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation in Baltimore and St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Ocean City, MD.

Mr. Sirinakis enjoyed traveling, especially to Skyros, the island in Greece where he grew up. He enjoyed many vacations with his family at their home in Ocean City. He also enjoyed gardening. His deepest passion, however, was always his family.

Surviving him besides his wife Zoe are sons and daughter-in-laws James G. and Dawn Sirinakis of Crownsville; A. Harry and Rebecca Sirinakis of Westminster; a daughter Kyparissia Sirinakis of Bethesda; grandchildren Andrew Essman, and Alexandra, Aristidis, Nicholas and Michael Sirinakis; and a brother Dimitrios G. Sirinakis of Sykesville.

He was predeceased by a sister, Efrosini Sarris.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, from 5-7 PM and Sunday from 1-4 PM at Pritts Funeral Home and Chapel, 412 Washington Road, Westminster.

Services will be held on Monday, November 8th at the funeral home chapel with Father Anastasios Kousoulas officiating. Eulogy begins at 12:30 PM, a Greek Orthodox funeral service at 1 PM and interment will be in Westminster Cemetery immediately following the service.

Memorial contributions can be made to Carroll Hospice, 292 Stoner Avenue, Westminster, Maryland 21157; Saints Peter and Paul Greek Orthodox Church, 920 West 7th St. Frederick, Maryland 21701; or National Stroke Association,www.stroke.org.

John Schaeffer 82 was among men of finance - by Kevin Dayhoff

John Schaeffer 82 was among men of finance

In http://www.explorecarroll.com/ please find two pieces I wrote about the late John Schaeffer of Westminster Bank and Trust Company.

Since these two tributes about Mr. Schaeffer appeared in the paper, many folks have come forward with stories about Mr. Schaeffer’s great mind for business, his service to his community and his extraordinary sense of customer service.

Perhaps one of the best among many was the story of the Mom with four children who had a problem with her checking account.  Mr. Schaeffer, the president of bank the mind you, found the problem and because the Mom could not get back to the bank because she was busy with her children; Mr. Schaeffer hand delivered the paperwork and her checkbook to her house.

DAYHOFF:John Schaeffer 82 was among men of finance who helped shape Westminster.  Eagle Archives.  By Kevin Dayhoff

The Oct. 31 death of John C. Schaeffer, 82, of Westminster, caused many older Carroll County residents to reminisce nostalgically about days long gone by.

Schaeffer was a well-respected country banker, who knew the business of finance and served his community steadfastly for many years.

Moreover, he was friendly, and always had time to talk with anyone, no matter his or her position or station in life.

A glimpse into the life and times of Schaeffer is also a history lesson in banking in Carroll County, and a study of the legacy of distinguished community leadership for over a half-a-century.

Phil Grout award-winning photojournalist to appear at Birdie’s Cafe Gallery in Westminster

Phil Grout award-winning photojournalist to appear at Birdie’s Cafe Gallery in Westminster

November 1, 2010

http://www.scribd.com/doc/41131999/Phil-Grout-award-winning-photojournalist-to-appear-at-Birdie%E2%80%99s-Cafe-Gallery-in-Westminster

Birdie’s Cafe Gallery in Westminster is proud to announce a major retrospective exhibit and sale of photographic works by Phil Grout from his 44 years as a photojournalist—40 from Carroll County, MD.

Phil Grout is an award-winning photojournalist, fine art photographer, and author.

Since 1966 he has worked throughout North, South and Central America, Asia and Africa gathering images for newspapers, magazines, wire services and book publishers.

His work has been awarded by the Associated Press as well as other news and arts organizations.

According to his website, www.philgrout.com, Grout started to learn his craft as a photojournalist in 1966 covering naval operations in Vietnam. 

“But he quickly discovered it wasn’t the images of war he was hunting, but more the face of humanity as he roamed the back alleys of Saigon, Hong Kong, Japan, and the Philippines.  With pictures and words he became a gatherer of the threads which bind us together as human beings…

“He is the author of three critically acclaimed photo essay books.  His work has been awarded by the Associated Press as well as various arts organizations.  It has also been featured in art galleries throughout the United States.”

Grout is “Good picture shooter, and a colleague in journalism starting in the navy and then at the Hanover Evening Sun and others. I have three or four walls covered with his work in my home….  Recommend you stop by and see his stuff,” said Carroll County Commissioner and fellow Vietnam Veteran, Dean Minnich

Sherri Hosfeld Joseph, the owner of Birdie’s and an artist herself, added, “Phil Grout is one of the greatest photojournalists of his generation.  We are truly blessed as a community that he has chosen our stories to document.  Phil has an amazing ability to find the extraordinary in everyday life - and this show, a retrospective of forty-four years of his work, will leave you awestruck.”

An opening reception for the artist will be held at Birdie’s Cafe, 233 E. Main St., Westminster, MD Friday, November 5, 2010, from 6-10 p.m.  The exhibition will remain through Friday, December 31, 2010.

An extensive collection of Phil's work can be viewed at www.philgrout.com
