On May 28, Carroll County and Westminster will mark the 145th
observance of Memorial Day with an expanded parade and three-days of
activities — thanks to all the hard work of American Legion Carroll Post No. 31 and leaders
like Skip Amass, coordinator of this year's activities.

The tradition of the parade and ceremony in Westminster
began in 1868, when Mary Bostwick Shellman followed General John A. Logan's May
5, 1868, General Order No. 11 — which called upon people to adorn the graves of
Union soldiers with flowers.

She gathered a group of schoolchildren for that task, and
they walked from the old schoolhouse on Center Street to Westminster Cemetery.

As with all the many stories in Carroll, the hands and

Next Monday is Memorial Day. For many it is more than a
holiday, it is a day when we gather as a community to express our gratitude to
our country’s men and women in uniform, who by their sacrifice cannot be with
us to enjoy the day… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5122

This year, Westminster and Carroll County will
mark
 its 145th
observance of Memorial Day
 with an expanded parade and four-days of
activities.

The tradition of the parade and ceremony in Westminster
began in 1868, when Mary Bostwick Shellman followed General John A. Logan’s May
5, 1868, General Order No. 11 to adorn the graves of Union soldiers with
flowers. She gathered a group of schoolchildren for the task and they walked
from the old schoolhouse on Center Street to Westminster Cemetery.

[…]

Last
week I wrote about
 a local community leader, Atlee Willis Wampler,
Jr., who served as the Westminster Memorial Day parade marshal for more than 44
years, from just after World War II until he passed away March 11, 1991.

[…]

That said, I have grown exhausted with the gut-wrenching
existentialism and overwhelming fatigue that accompanies covering
military funerals for the paper
.

I was quite struck by a May 6 article in The Washington
Post
 by Ian Shapira, “Barbara Robbins: A slain CIA secretary’s life
and death,” about a little-known Vietnam War casualty from a bombing that
occurred in Saigon March 30, 1965.

According to the article, “The CIA director revealed only a
few details about the 21-year-old woman, a secretary among spies. In the
agency’s annual memorial service for employees killed on the job, then-Director
Leon E. Panetta announced that a new name had been inscribed with calligraphy
inside the CIA’s
Book of Honor
: Barbara Annette Robbins, who had volunteered to go to Saigon
during the Vietnam War…

[…]

The story of Ms. Robbins is compelling and evocative. Yet
for me, what I found particularly haunting was the black
and white picture
of a very young American, in a far-off land, defending
our freedoms, staring right at us.

Generations have been touched by Frock's 4-H and church
leadership By Kevin Dayhoff, May 3, 2012

Eagle Archive: Generations have been touched by Frock's 4-H
and church leadership http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0506-20120502,0,7820360.story



Fourteen years ago — on April 12, 1998 — the Baltimore Sun carried
an article about my neighbor and good friend, Kathryn Myers Frock, in which it
was noted:

"The Westminster woman, who is believed to be the
longest-serving 4-H volunteer in the country, was surprised recently to be
honored for 58 years of volunteer service.

"Fifty-eight years? thought Frock. Why 58?

"'Maybe they don't think I'm going to be here for 60
years,' she said with a smile."

Well, Frock made it to 60 years. As a matter of fact, make
that 74 years that she was a 4-H leader and volunteer fair judge.

That said, with Frock, it was not as much about the quantity
of years, but the quality.

This is the time of the year when many citizens turn their
attention to the budget processes of Carroll County government and its eight
municipalities. No matter where you live in Carroll County, money matters.

Statewide, Gov. Martin O'Malley has announced that on
Monday, May 14, the General Assembly will get together for a couple of days to
raise taxes and enact more laws, rules and regulations. (For more on this read,

When spring rolls around, many of us have home improvement
projects to tackle. But few of those result in community-wide interest or
historical significance. (Unless, that is, you count the alligator-filled moat
I was thinking about installing.)

But on April 29, 1891, Dr. Jacob J. Weaver Jr. of Uniontown
began the construction of an indoor bathroom — and kept a detailed dairy of the
project to preserve for history.

Of course, having an indoor bathroom was a big deal in those
days.

"The idea of an indoor bathroom was almost unknown
until the early 20th century," according to historian Jay Graybeal, who
wrote about Weaver's bathroom construction diary a number of years ago for the
Historical Society of Carroll County.

Today, the historical society has Weaver's diary on file, in
case you'd like to consult his plans. His project was completed on June 2 at a
cost of $554. Your results may vary.

We should note that the First National Bank of Westminster
made sure Weaver was "flush" with cash — the bank loaned him $500 for
the project earlier in April.

On April 26, 1927, the City of Westminster was also looking
forward to a few improvements. It was on that date that the Maryland General Assembly approved
legislation to allow the city to borrow a total of $75,000 at a rate of
interest not to exceed 4 1/2 percent.

The legislation specifically noted "that the money
derived from the sale of said bonds shall be used and applied exclusively to
the paving and improving of the streets, curbs, and gutters of the town,
heretofore decided upon by the Mayor and Common Council of Westminster." … http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0429-20120430,0,6008258.story

Eagle Archive: Calling all 'well-behaved players' for
baseball in Carroll County




You may have noticed that the Baltimore Orioles have gotten
off to a good start so far in the young 2012 season.

Hope springs eternal, and spring makes me eternally hopeful,
so it's only fitting to note that baseball was also on the minds of Carroll
County readers more than 110 years ago.

On this day in 1899, a local newspaper carried a news story
that the local "Westminster Base Ball Club" was looking for a few good
baseball players…

"The Westminster Base Ball Club ... desires to win the
championship and toward that end desires to have a team composed of good
players who will be able to play good base ball, and will take full advantage
of the five mile limit in order to obtain the players if they can not be gotten
in this city." …

What is that 'five-mile limit' all about? We may need to
call upon local historian and Carroll County baseball history expert Dan
Hartzler.


[…]

According to Mary Ann Ashcraft, an historian for the Historical
Society, "Baseball was a big draw in all parts of the county, and
competition between local teams often got very intense…"

[…]

In the April 22, 1899 article that appeared in the
now-defunct Democratic Advocate newspaper, it is interesting to review the set
of qualifications desired by the Westminster Base Ball Club.

“While no roughness or rowdyism on the team will be
permitted, the team will be no kid glove affair, to the detriment of good ball
playing, but every effort will be made to obtain a representative club of
conscientious, efficient, and well-behaved ball players…

“The team announced last week will be permanent only so far
as the members, so announced, are able to play good ball and play regularly.”

Where do I sign up? Put me in coach, I’m ready to play.

Eagle Archive: Budget and the economy were worries in 1837 ... and still are

Eagle Archive: Budget and the economy were worries in 1837 ... and still are

by Kevin Dayhoff


This is the time of the year when many citizens turn their attention to the budget processes of Carroll County government and its eight municipalities. No matter where you live in Carroll County, money matters.

Statewide, Gov. Martin O'Malley has announced that on Monday, May 14, the General Assembly will get together for a couple of days to raise taxes and enact more laws, rules and regulations. (For more on this read, "Delegation says county stands to lose $1 million in special session," on ExploreCarroll.com.)... http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/opinion-talk/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0513-20120509,0,1799107.story

Baltimore Sun – Sloane Brown: Pictures: What's in Store in Westminster

Pictures: What's in Store in Westminster – Off Track Art


Perhaps it's something in the air. But Westminster seems to be a center of creative expression.

Whether it's something created by a local artist or artisan or a home accent carefully chosen by a local business owner, you're sure to find something here that can bring a little self-expression to your home. -- Sloane Brown

[…]

What's in Store: Off Track Art
(Sloane Brown, Special to The Baltimore Sun / April 26, 2012 )
Two businesses share this artistic space. Walk in the door and on the left, you'll enter Off Track Art, an artists cooperative which currently shows the work of 10 local artists.

On the right is Carousel Stained Glass, with work mostly by owner Roger Lewis, who also teaches locally and shows the work of his students.

From Off Track Art: a 20-inch-x-22-inch mixed media collage displayed in a 6-panel window, titled “Egg Visions” ($250) by Bob Waddell; a 32-inch-30-inch “Reclining Nude” laminated plywood sculpture by Linda Van Hart; and an 18-inch-x-12-inch red and black patchwork small laundry basket ($150) by nationally acclaimed basket maker Joyce Schaum.

Off Track Art and Carousel Stained Glass are at 11 Liberty St., Westminster.
