Eagle Archive: Ralph Condon, 85, retired Carroll County businessman By Kevin E. Dayhoff, April 3, 2013 http://tinyurl.com/c8oqsto

Ralph A. Condon, a Carroll County community leader and businessman, died March 27 at age 85. He was a Navy veteran who served in World War II. He was married to Ava Rakes Condon for 65 years.

Condon was born in Taylorsville on Sept. 28, 1927. In the early 1950s, he began working as an auto mechanic at a shop way off the beaten path on a rutted-dirt road a mile or so off of Manchester Road, Route 27, near the present-day intersection with Route 482.

He subsequently founded Condon's Auto Parts in 1954. The business is currently operated by the third generation of his family.

In 1959, Manchester Road was re-aligned and rebuilt in such a manner that all of the sudden the auto recycling yard was exposed to public view. This was in the days before zoning and for several years, there were no problems.

The operation minded its own business and wasn't bothering anyone, said Condon several years ago in an interview.

But peace and tranquilly came to an end to his once upon a time out of sight business. New folks in the county began to complain, and legal problems with the county started. Never mind he was there first.

In the late 1960s, Condon decided the right thing to do was to move his business farther away from the road – out of sight of the public. That was easier said than done, though. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0407-20130403,0,5284705.story

Eagle Archive: Reflecting on Easter with grace and peace

Happy Easter. Grace and peace to you.

In Carroll County, the celebration of Easter has always had an emphasis on the religious aspects of the holiday. However, childhood thoughts of Easter in Carroll are also filled of memories of community Easter egg hunts and other community activities.

Some 65 years ago, the Venture Club of Westminster sponsored the annual hunt on Easter Sunday on the Westminster Playground. An article in the now defunct Democratic Advocate on March 26, 1948, offers an example of how various aspects of the community got into the Easter spirit: There was a concert by the Westminster Municipal Band; an invocation by Father William T. McCrory, assistant pastor of St. John Catholic Church; and City Councilman J. Albert Mitten served as master of ceremonies.

[…]

Another childhood memory is that all the church services and activities during Holy Week and Easter were observed with strict pomp and ceremony — as dictated by the ecclesiastical liturgists in the congregation.

I learned at a very young age that the difference between a terrorist and liturgist is you can negotiate with a terrorist. For those unaware of ways of the church, a liturgist is sort of like a "parliamentarian" — with an edge… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0324-20130327,0,6902860.story

In an era when communities are increasingly turning to higher taxes and bigger government to provide quality of life services in a community; Carroll County still turns to the large number of volunteers and philanthropic groups in our community — which are supported by donations of time, talent and money, and not tax dollars.

The Rotary is among the stalwart examples of this attitude in Carroll.
