Mr. Oland’s article on “Off Track Art” may be found here: Cooperative artistry: Area artists join forces to open Off Track Art

By Brandon Oland, Times Staff Writer Friday, February 13, 2009

[…]

It’s been a busy week for 20 area artists who have been putting the finishing touches on Off Track Art, a cooperative located just off the railroad tracks in downtown Westminster that is having its grand opening from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. today.

The gallery will be filled from floor to ceiling with sculptures, jewelry, photography, paintings and more.

Westminster painter Sarah Abel Deluca said artists are, generally, independent thinkers and creators.

But the co-op’s artists have come together for this project, splitting the rent and agreeing to staff the co-op located inside Roger Lewis’ Carousel Stained Glass at 11 Liberty Street.

“It’s been exciting to watch the group come together,” Maurio said. “Everyone is bringing their own strengths.”

The artists began meeting in December over breakfast to discuss plans.

Each of the co-op members gets their own space in one of the two rooms in the gallery.

The artists drew numbers out of a hat to decide where each would display their works.

Artists dropped by this week to start installing their works, stopping to admire and compliment the projects of their peers.

[…]

Artists featured: Vestal Abbott, Sarah Abel DeLuca, Melinda Byrd, Christina Collins-Smith, Kevin Dayhoff, Mary Decker, Gail Elwell, Judy Goodyear, Charlotte Lasio, Becki Maurio, Wasyl Palijczuk, Howard Riopelle, Cathy Sawdey, Bob Sapora, Gordon Wickes, Vladimir Tzenov, Linda Van Hart, Robert Waddell, Susan Williamson and Pamela Zappardino.

This Day in History for February 11, 2009

This Day in History for February 11, 2009

February 11, 2009 by © Kevin Dayhoff

Years ago in the middle of February, the Baltimore Colts, graffiti, a new jail, going hungry and sweet corn were on the minds of Carroll Countians – not necessarily in that order.

The Baltimore Colts are coming to town.

On February 11, 1949 it was announced that the Baltimore Colts were coming to Western Maryland College – now known as McDaniel College - to practice in the summer.

The now out-of-print Democratic Advocate carried the headline: “College Campus To Be Used By Colts- Coach Isbell Expects to Bring 55 Players to Train, Starting in July.”

The article proclaimed: “Baltimore's football Colts are going to train at Western Maryland College this year. Dr. Lowell S. Ensor, president of the Methodist school, and Walter S. Driskill, Colts general manager, have signed a contract providing for the city's All-America Football Conference squad to use the Westminster College's campus as a pre-season base of operations …

“Driskill … cited a number of advantages in choosing Western Maryland. "The school's facilities are ideal," he explained, "and because Westminster is only 30 miles from Baltimore the fans will have a good chance to get acquainted with us.’

Children will be children.

The February 11, 1921 edition of the now defunct Union Bridge Pilot lamented: “The practice of defacing property with chalk and pencils… appears to be a favorite pastime with some children.

“Newly painted buildings and porch columns appear to offer special inducements for the practice. The town authorities as a rule do not care to resort to legal measures with children, yet it appears a few applications of this medicine might prove effective.”

New jail to be built.

On February 13, 1970, another local newspaper that has long since fallen by the wayside, the Community Reporter, reported that the Carroll County Board of Commissioners, Robert M. McKinney, Paul J. Walsh, and Scott S. Bair, Jr., “have officially approved the building of a new county jail in Westminster for Carroll County…

“The issue… has been debated for several years. In 1968 the State Jail Inspector stated the jail was not usable and ordered it closed. Since that time, the county has been transporting prisoners to the Baltimore city jail.”

Eventually somebody is going to go hungry.

The February 13, 1920 edition of the Union Bridge Pilot, helped spread the alarm that according to Prof. T. C. Atkeson, the Washington representative of the National Grange: “The Cities Must Experience Industrial Crash.”

Professor Atkeson warned that an “economic crash that will bring down the cost of living, must originate in the cities, and reach such an extent that those who have left the country sections for "big wages" will come back to the country…

“He says there is no cure for high prices that Congress, or anybody, can provide, but that the situation must work itself out...

“He says the labor situation is rapidly making it impossible for the farmers to feed the country, and that eventually somebody is going to go hungry.”

Carroll County was sweet on sweet corn.

Four years later, on February 1, 1924, the Democratic Advocate reported: “One of the largest crops produced by the farmer in Carroll (is) sweet corn…

“The average yield (was) close to 3 tons (per acre.) … The cost ran from $13.00 to $13.50 per ton. Allowing only .25 per hour for labor and .10 per hour for horse.”

The French Trailer for Lili Marleen by Rainer Werner Fassbinder

The French Trailer for Lili Marleen by Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Non-associative meanderings and musings from the sofa by Kevin Dayhoff

February 9, 2009

I had the music and art of “Cold Play” in my head all day. With that in mind, I was was roaming around YouTube this evening. While I was surfing, watching and listening, I came across “Coldplay_Trouble.” It can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwGHQ6WyQFU.

The clip immediately reminded me of Hans-Jürgen Syberberg’s “Requiem für einen jungfräulichen König,” (“Ludwig - Requiem for a Virgin King” – June 23, 1972) - - and other practitioners of the “New German Cinema,” such as Wim Wenders, Volker Schlöndorff, and Werner Herzog.

I settled upon looking for clips by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, May 31, 1945 – June 10, 1982. He remains one of my all-time favorite directors, in a list that on any given day, can be cluttered, complicated, and crowded.

Of course, when one thinks of Mr. Fassbinder, the words cluttered, complicated and crowded, come immediately to mind...

This is perhaps a better way of saying that he led a life of constant strife and controversy in which he managed to offend anything, everything and everybody on any given day.

Even saying that one likes the work of the Mr. Fassbinder is controversial. Oh well, sometimes art is art… Whatever.

Wallace Watson wrote in 1992, in “The Bitter Tears of RWF,” that Mr. Fassbinder “did little to discourage the personalized nature of the attacks on himself and his work. He seemed to provoke them by his aggressively anti-bourgeois lifestyle, symbolized in his black leather jacket, battered hat, dark glasses and perennial scowl.”

The prolific filmmaker died at the all-too-young-age of 36; after maintaining an impossibly frenetic pace in which he created over forty films in 15 years.

Among my many favorite Fassbinder movies, certainly “Love is Colder than Death” (1969); “The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant” (1972); “Berlin Alexanderplatz: (1980); “The Marriage of Maria Braun” (1978); “Ali: Fear Eats the Soul” (1974) and “Lili Marleen” compete for my most favorite.

The YouTube video pasted below is the French trailer from Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s 1981 classic “Lili Marleen.” (The movie is based upon the autobiography of Lale Andersen: “Der Himmel hat viele Farben.”

This movie showcases a stellar performance by Hanna Schygulla, which along with her performance in “The Marriage of Maria Braun,” is one of her best.

“Lili Marleen” also includes great performances by Giancarlo Giannini, Mel Ferrer,Udo Kier and Barbara Valentin.

December 1984

I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
Im twenty two now, but I wont be for long
People ask when will you grow up to be a man
But all the girls I loved at school
Are already pushing prams

I loved you then as I love you still
Tho I put you on a pedestal,
They put you on the pill
I dont feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know

I dont want to change the world
Im not looking for a new England
Im just looking for another girl
I dont want to change the worldIm not looking for a new England
Im just looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I cant survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish youd care

I dont want to change the world
Im not looking for a new England
Im just looking for another girl

What Career Service Office Advisors Should be Telling Law Students About Social Media [Part 1/2]

What Career Service Office Advisors Should be Telling Law Students About Social Media [Part 1/2]

Feb 5th, 2009 | By Josh Camson | Category: Facebook, Lead Article, LinkedIn, Twitter

If you're new here, and interested in using social media in the legal profession, you may want to subscribe to the RSS feed or follow me on Twitter @Rex7. Thank you for visiting SocialMediaLawStudent.com.

A friend of mine attends a top 20 law school. At the beginning of his first year this past fall, his Career Services Office (CSO) told the entire 1L class that if they wanted to be employable, they should remove themselves from social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. That way, potential employers will not come across any damning information about the student.

To me, and I’m guessing to anyone who reads this website, that advice sounds well-intentioned but bad. We are well into the 21st century. Law students and CSOs alike need to realize that the internet is a tremendous tool at every law student’s disposal. It is true that like any tool, if the operator is not careful, there can be dangerous accidents. However, law students should be utilizing the internet in their job search and networking efforts to show others that they are a more rounded individual, and a better applicant. Law students should no longer cower in fear, worried that a potential employer will see the drunk shenanigans they got up to last weekend. Instead, they should use the internet, and social networking in particular, as a tool to aid them in their efforts.

This pair of posts will look at the three largest social networking sites: Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn. I will show you how to keep (or start!) using these services while protecting the information intended only for your friends from getting into the hands of a potential employer.

Phelps Suspended By USA Swimming; Kellogg's To Drop Phelps

Michael Phelps won't be able to compete for the next three months, because of the pictures released showing him smoking a marijuana pipe. The decision by USA Swimming comes hours after Kellogg's announced that it will end its contract with Phelps at the end of the month. Phelps' picture had been appearing on the front of various Kellogg's cereal boxes.
[…]

Michael Phelps has been suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming, the latest fallout from a photo that showed the Olympic great inhaling from a marijuana pipe.

When 'breaking news' was all about horse and buggy accidents

When 'breaking news' was all about horse and buggy accidents

February 4, 2009

Eagle Archives By Kevin Dayhoff Posted on http://www.explorecarroll.com/ 2/01/09

More than 100 years ago, horse and buggy accidents were a staple of the "breaking news" diet of local newspapers.

One example occurred Feb. 1, 1896, when the now out-of-print American Sentinel carried a brief about a horse and buggy accident involving a mail carrier. Under the heading of "Taneytown Items," the paper reported:

"On last Monday afternoon when Mr. John Shriner, who carries the mail from this place to Harney, was leaving for home, his horse became frightened and, in some way, fell to the ground, breaking one shaft off his cart. When the animal regained his feet the broken shaft struck him on the heels causing him to run away.

"After he had run some distance the cart was upset and threw Mr. Shriner to the ground with great force. He was dragged some distance and finally delivered from his dangerous position by the horse getting loose from the cart, which was badly wrecked.

"Mr. Shriner was badly bruised and scarred, and has not been able to attend to his duties since the accident, but is now slowly improving and will soon be carrying the mail again."

So let me get this straight. Neither rain nor sleet nor snow are problems for postal carriers, but apparently being dragged by a horse is?

Years ago, Jay Graybeal wrote a column for the Historical Society of Carroll County about a number of horse and buggy accidents that were reported in the May 19, 1893, edition of the defunct Democratic Advocate. Apparently roaming farm animals were involved in several mishaps.

"Mr. Jesse Long, living near Tannery, was thrown from a wagon last Sunday evening. He was returning from Tannery Station, driving a young horse to a small wagon, when the bridle came off the animal's head. The horse started to run, and running against a cow in the road, upset the wagon and threw Mr. Long out. ... Dr. W. K. Fringer rendered medical services."

"On Monday morning as Mr. Wm. Burgoon, of Bachman's Valley, and his son were on their way to this city, the horse became frightened at a goat and ran off a bridge near the residence of Mr. Jacob Zacharias, on the Littlestown pike, and fell a distance of 14 feet down into a gully. Mr. Burgoon had a leg bruised, his son received a small cut near the eye, the carriage top was smashed and the harness broken."

Let that be a lesson. Don't let a horse get your goat ... or your cow.

Letter to the editor from Sarah Abel-DeLuca

Letter to the editor from Sarah Abel-DeLuca

To the Editor:

In these hard economic times, it may seem counterintuitive to be generous; yet generosity, like honesty, is more than a virtue. It's also the best policy.

This year I've had ample opportunity to experience the immediate and tangible results of others' generosity, and it has inspired me to start living generously myself. To give just a few examples: community advocates Lyndi McNulty and Pam Zappardino contribute to virtually every good cause in Carroll County, so I said yes without hesitation to their recent requests to donate paintings for local charity auctions.

Local business owner Karen Pelton's charitable spirit has encouraged me to seek new outlets for my particular volunteering gift: supporting and mentoring fellow artists. The dedication and enthusiasm of Tim Rogers, Laurie Walters, a large group of excellent docents, and all the others who worked tirelessly on the recent Historic Westminster Holiday Home Tour paid my husband and me back a hundredfold for being hosts, as did the generosity of the tour participants.

Hundreds of people filed through all but one room of our 1870s Victorian house on a snowy, messy day -- yet our hardwood floors and carpets sustained absolutely no damage; none of our possessions was lost, stolen, hurt or disturbed in any way; and our house was left warmer and cozier by their visits, despite the chilly wind blowing in the front door. I should also mention local merchants such as Hickory Stick and The Flowerbox, who contributed decorations to houses on the tour.

The temptation, when times are tough, money is scarce, and fear is everywhere, is to pull in one's resources, stop giving to charities, and buy from the cheapest of big box stores rather than from local merchants or chains that have a commitment to their communities, the environment, or other good causes. I've given into this temptation many times myself. But thanks to the good example of citizens and businesses in our own community, I'm going to resist it this year. Pennypinching breeds scarcity. Generosity breeds abundance.

Pass it on.

Pamela Zappardino Why I do this……………..

Pamela Zappardino

Why I do this……………..

It has been surprisingly hard for me to write an artist’s statement. Perhaps that’s because I had not really thought of myself as an artist until fairly recently. I guess it took a lot of years to peel off those other layers and find out who I really am…and then come to believe it.

I can’t remember a time when my dad didn’t have a camera – maybe two. He loved to take pictures. I also can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a camera and I came to share his love of capturing things on film. In time, it became much more than that.

I see the world differently when I look through the viewfinder. It comes into focus; vision becomes crystalline. As I move across space, I see relationships form and fade. The intensity of experience is clear and tangible. My concentration deepens. I see through the surface layers to what’s really there.

This way of seeing is incredibly exciting to me. Without thinking about it, I started articulating these layers in my mixed media work. Photographs move in relation to each other, or find expression in multiple images. Pieces of stuff sometimes add to the mix. I like unusual juxtapositions. I’m the agent of all of this, but it I don’t think about it too hard, and just go where the work wants to take me. (My natural tendencies toward procrastination help with this process.)

While I have moved on from film to digital cameras, I still love the challenge of finding the right angle, composing the best photo, getting the light just the way I want it. I don’t alter any of my photos beyond the cropping that I could do with photos taken on film. I don’t even know how to use a Photoshop type program. That may come at some point, but for now, I haven’t finished exploring the world as I see it through that frame.

My work is eclectic . Some themes recur…concerns about war and peace, human rights, equity. But perspective intrigues me, as does a mix of colors, and the look on a person’s face. Things out of the ordinary and everyday things are here as well. My dad taught me early on to “fill the frame” and so my photos are often up close, so much so that they may only contains parts of things.

I hope I make people smile, and think, and perhaps do a double take or two. A few “aha’s” would be nice. But mostly I would like people to just enjoy.

Little does my father know that when he gave me that first camera, he set me on a path to becoming an artist. I just had to figure that out.

Thanks, Dad.

Carroll County artist Melinda Byrd updates us on her latest work

Carroll County artist Melinda Byrd updates us on her latest work

Greetings, Friends, Family, Fans, and Fun Folk,

Jan 25, 2009

Melinda Byrd (from Byrdcall Studio) here with an update of good things happening that you might like to know about. I have two big exciting ventures to tell you about:

I have joined with 19 other area artists to form an Artist Co-operative with a gallery-storefront off Main Street in Westminster, MD. We are calling our space “Off Track Art.” We are located just off the railroad tracks (by a few feet) at 11 Liberty St. accessible from the parking lot across the street from both O’Lordans and Johansson’s, next to the library.

Image me and 19 other artists showing some of our best works in a small gallery. We will take turns staffing the shop and share rent to make it all affordable. I’m very excited. We will be opening on Friday, Feb. 13th--yes, Friday the 13th in the afternoon (not sure yet of exact time—ask me later). Off Track Art will be open everyday except Sunday from noon to 6 or 7:00 PM. You probably know my work…just imagine 19 other exciting and stimulating artists all in one gallery!

The other big hoot for me is the fact that I am having my very first SOLO EXHIBITION of my multifaceted arts at the Scott Gallery at Carroll Community College (1601 Washington Rd., Westminster, MD). The opening reception will be Sunday, Feb. 15th from 2-4:00 PM. You are invited, of course! See the attached post card document which also has the image of one of my newest linocuts, “Three Fireflies” and all the details of the exhibit which runs through March 27th. There will be many never-seen-before pieces of my work. Please stop by at some point between Feb 15 and March 27. Please forward this info to anyone you know who might be interested.

Thirdly, I can foresee a very busy spring 2009, so I have decided (sadly) not to teach classes in my studio for teens and pre-teens this year.

Fortunately, my friend and fellow artist, Sarah Abel Deluca is working on her spring schedule which may include classes for this age group. I have to say, Sarah is an exceptional artist and teacher. I am currently taking a class from her at the Carroll Arts Center. Her work is currently being featured at the Arts Center (in the gallery to the right). She is very experienced teaching high school students, and welcomes the pre-teens too. Perhaps at her studio, or perhaps at your child’s school.

Feel free to give her a call or email if you have teens or pre-teens interested in developing their artistic abilities: 410.751.9259 or info@abelartist.com. Check out her work at : Click here: SARAH ABEL DELUCA, artist

And finally, remember I am here for you. My favorite thing is to create art that you will cherish for you. Whether it is a hand-printed shirt or a painting of your beloved pet or landscape…just call or email me!

I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

Peace and love,
Melinda
