A reader was recently in touch and asked: Where did R. Sargent Shriver live on Willis Street in Westminster Maryland when he was a child.

I have always thought that Mr. Sargent Shriver grew-up in the large brick home at the northeast corner of Willis and Center Street that is now divided into apartments…

For your enjoyment, pasted below are the links to several stories I have written about Mr. Shriver and his family, in the past in www.ExploreCarroll.com:  

Shriver lived several childhood years in Carroll County
By Kevin Dayhoff Posted 1/18/11

Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr.'s life of spreading goodwill internationally started here on Westminster's Willis Street.

Shriver, who was born Nov. 9, 1915, lived several childhood years on Willis Street in Westminster. He died Tuesday at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda.

Shriver was a member of the historic Shriver family in Carroll County, known as community, political and business leaders; whose heritage has been, in part, preserved by the Union Mills Homestead.

Shriver spoke fondly of his Carroll roots over the years. A Nov. 30, 1988 newspaper account described that Shriver once spoke to “an audience of about 520 gathered at Martin’s Westminster about the Carroll County” in which he was raised.

“We really didn’t have to recite the Pledge of Allegiance every day because we lived it and so did everyone in Westminster…  The things I’ve learned here (in Westminster) are more important than what I’ve learned in all the other places I’ve lived since.”

He was preceded in death by his wife, Eunice Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy’s sister, and the daughter of Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy.  They were married on May 23, 1953.  Mrs. Shriver was the founder and chair of Special Olympics International and the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation.

The Shrivers had five children, one of whom, Maria Owings Shriver, is married to another well-known national personality, the former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger… http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5094/life-work-wisdom-sargent-shriver-began-westminster/

Twenty years ago this week the community was abuzz in anticipation of one of Carroll County's most celebrated native sons, Robert Sargent Shriver Jr. returning to town to help celebrate the City of Westminster's 150th Anniversary Dinner on Nov. 18, 1988.

Shriver, who was born Nov. 9, 1915, lived several childhood years on Willis Street in Westminster.

He married Eunice Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy's sister and the daughter of Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy, on May 23, 1953. Mrs. Shriver is the founder and chair of Special Olympics International and the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation.

They have five children, one of whom, Maria Owings Shriver, is married to another well-known national personality, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The program for the 1988 event listed Shriver's "unparalleled record of public service at the local, national and international level: International lawyer ... advocate for the poor. ... He is a graduate of Yale University and Yale Law School and he served in the U.S. Navy for five years…  http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5094/life-work-wisdom-sargent-shriver-began-westminster/

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff Posted 8/16/09
On Aug. 11, people all across the nation mourned the death of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who died at a hospital on Cape Cod surrounded by several generations of her large family. She was 88.

Inspired by her sister, Rosemary Kennedy, who was born mentally retarded, Shriver founded the Special Olympics in 1968 for persons with intellectual disabilities. Rosemary died in 2005.

As children, Rosemary and Eunice Kennedy are reported to have spent a great deal of time together swimming and sailing.

Mrs. Shriver became known around the world, but here in Carroll County she's remembered as the wife of R. Sargent Shriver, who was raised on Willis Street, in Westminster. The two married in 1953.

Sargent is a member of the historic Shriver family in Carroll County, known as community, political and business leaders. Their heritage has been preserved, in part, at the Union Mills Homestead.

Sargent Shriver at one time was President Kennedy's first director of the Peace Corps. He was also Sen. George McGovern's running mate in 1972, and ran for president himself in 1976.

By all accounts, Eunice and Sargent were very close, and she was an integral part of her husband's political career… http://www.explorecarroll.com/community/3295/shriver/

Barred owl's silent gaze speaks volumes



The barred owl's eyes are locked in their sockets. The bird must turn its head to see left or right.  Credit: Mike Parr / American Bird Conservancy 

On the Wing / By Michael Burke

Like a camouflaged soldier at attention, the big bird stood unmoving and nearly unseen in the bare oak. I took a step closer, and its head rotated slightly. I found myself looking into a pair of penetrating dark eyes. It hesitated a moment, then noiselessly alit. A small stream had already separated us, but that natural barrier wasn't enough. The bird needed to put a safer distance between us.

Largely creatures of the night, owls are usually quiet and still during daylight. With cryptic colors of brown, white and black, they easily blend into the mottled patterns of bark and branches. No sound, no movement, protective coloration: These birds are tough to spot.

The barred owl (Strix varia) that perceived me as a threat was no exception. Barred owls are relatively large, standing upright at 18 inches. They have the bulky build we associate with typical owls and weigh 1.5 pounds. The rounded wings stretch to 40 inches. A dozen shades of brown are irregularly broken by white lines, patches, streaks and scallops. The visual result is a bird that's hard to see in spite of its impressive dimensions.

An owl's eyes are compelling. Like cats, dogs, humans and other predators, barred owls have eyes in the front of their heads, not along the side like most songbirds. Furthermore…  http://www.bayjournal.com/article.cfm?article=4020

DAYHOFF: Items from history remind me of things for which I'm thankful

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff


Is there something in the air these days? Or did I miss a memo?

It seems that, recently, not a day goes by in which we are not deluged with bad news about the economy, politics, the economy, higher taxes, government deficits, international turmoil or just folks in the news acting like they are one french fry short of Happy Meal.

I used to ask if there was something in the water, but Jeff Glass, the Westminster director of public works, always corrected me with a smile: "No, Kevin, there must be something in the air, the water is fine. Got that?"

OK, I get it.

And something else I "get" is that we have many things for which to be thankful, and I should focus on that.

It used to be easier. I recall a time when a fellow elected official criticized me in a public meeting for being an eternal Pollyanna. Gee, I guess I'll take that criticism. I've heard worse things said about me.

[…]

So in the interest of mental health -- mine and yours -- I'll focus on things to be thankful for:

I'm thankful Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan are not dating.

I'm thankful that I did not watch the Oscar ceremonies.

[…]

First, on March 3, our nation celebrated the 80th anniversary of Congress enacting "The Star-Spangled Banner" -- written by Carroll County's native son, Francis Scott Key -- as our official national anthem. President Herbert Hoover signed the legislation into law on March 3, 1931…  http://www.explorecarroll.com/opinion/5216/items-history-remind-me-things-which-im-thankful/

Kevin Dayhoff The Tentacle: SCOTUS Westboro Decision - A Victory for Free Speech?

March 4, 2011

A Victory for Free Speech?
By a vote of 8-1, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a long awaited decision Wednesday over the collision of free speech, common sense and decency and our right to privacy in the case of Albert Snyder v. Fred W. Phelps, Sr., and the Westboro Baptist Church.

The Supreme Court ruled against the father of Westminster native Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, whose March 10, 2006, funeral was picketed by members of the Kansas-based church. Corporal Snyder was 20 years-old when he died March 3, 2006, in Al Anbar Province, Iraq.

The irony abounds that the Westboro band of graceless sociopaths have chosen over the years to disparage and heap emotional abuse on families at the funerals of the very men and women in uniform, who have died defending the right of these creeps to exercise their right to free speech.

The controversy that initiated the test of the limits of free speech began shortly after Snyder’s death. In a paroxysmal milieu, the Snyder family is an otherwise unlikely fulcrum for all this drama... http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4265
