Occupation writer: Will code HTML for food


20021100 Occupation writer: Will code HTML for food.
November 2002

Occupation writer. Ultimately I am a slave to the masters of the page, the soldiers in my life - words.

“Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed… just do it in private and wash your hands afterwards,” attributed to Robert Heinlein.

“When I stop working the rest of the day is posthumous. I'm only really alive when I'm writing.” Tennessee Williams

I am a mild mannered vacuous unemployable college drop out - a political novice, hilltop hillbilly farmer artist with no leadership skills and decades of unaccounted for time; fighting off the forces of poverty, the intellectually stunted, and the artistically disinclined.

I will code HTML for food.

20060914 Klingon Wedding

Klingon Wedding
http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2006/09/20060914-klingon-wedding.html

Several really neat members of my family are getting married next spring. And me – the artist uncle, has been making some really helpful suggestions throughout the wedding preparations…

I mean, advancing age allows me the wisdom of having the memories of a number of memorable weddings.

(One of the most memorable was at the top of the World Trade Twin Towers in New York…)

Anyway, I came across a great idea for a thematic wedding. What better than a Klingon Wedding.

Whadda ya think. I mean it’s just a really helpful suggestion.

Ah - - you wouldn’t have to do the actual ceremony in the Klingon language. Then again, that might be a great idea.

Anyone know of a pastor or a rabbi who speaks Klingon?

OoooKaaay. I’ll just get back to work here now that I have been so helpful.

Oh, don’t mention it. Anytime.

Love you guys.

Moving to the next chapter of the Eagle story


Westminster Eagle goes online. The last print edition of the paper was published last Wednesday, March 18, 2009.

Please follow us online at www.explorecarroll.com – I’m committed to making this work… Kevin Dayhoff



Editor's Note

Posted 3/18/09

Our big news this week -- that this week is the last print version of The Westminster Eagle, and that we're combining many of its elements into an expanded version of our countywide Carroll Eagle and concentrating on an online Westminster Eagle version -- is bittersweet for members of The Eagle staff.

After all, we've come together under The Westminster Eagle banner, and formed great bonds with the community and its leaders over the past four-and-a-half years.

But we're excited about the additional Westminster coverage we'll be able to provide with the online version of The Westminster Eagle at
www.explorecarroll.com. It will include an expanded community calendar, forums for interactive comment, breaking news, Eagle Alerts and more.

We'll have our familiar features online as well, including our columns by Hoby Wolf, Cathy Drinkwater Better and David Grand, sports coverage, local education news and more.

We're also energized over the expansion of The Carroll Eagle, our sister publication that will be growing in terms of size, distribution and content. Many of the familiar Westminster features will now be in The Carroll Eagle. You can get it delivered to your home with the Sunday edition of The Baltimore Sun. We'll also be distributing it free at key locations throughout the community, including our familiar paper boxes.

Finally, we are happy to announce that one other piece of our local coverage puzzle has also solidified -- our satellite office, at 1942 Bethel Road just off Route 140, is up and running. We have a box for residents to drop items off to us any time, and our staff now has regular office hours -- though be sure to call ahead if you plan to visit, as we're usually in the field.

Though some things are changing at The Westminster Eagle, a few key things won't.

First, our phone number is still 410-386-0334, and our staff phone extensions and e-mail addresses also remain the same.

Secondly, our mailing address is still P.O. Box 493, Westminster, MD 21158.
Most importantly, our commitment to serve the community to the best of our ability, and to share the story and history of this community, hasn't changed. Our staff is humbled by members of this community who have placed their trust in us, and we'll do our best to honor it.

We'll see you online, and in The Carroll Eagle.

“I´m eighteen And I don´t know what I want”


“I´m eighteen And I don´t know what I want”


“I’m Eighteen,” released by Alice Cooper in November 1970 on the “Love it to Death” album.

January 16, 2009


My niece just turned eighteen years old earlier in the week. Of course, my thoughts turned to when I was that age.

I saw Alice Cooper play “I’m Eighteen” in concert when I was eighteen years old in 1972 on his “Dead Babies” tour. Don’t tell my nieces and nephews.

Or was it the “School’s Out” tour? The mind is the first thing to go… Whatever.

Although I cannot say that I am a big Alice Cooper fan, the song, “I’m Eighteen” is a bit of iconography for the world of the early 1970s… I guess.

In spite of all the press, the 1972 show was just that, a show. Yeah, it was over the top, but he was quite a showman and he managed to pull it off – at least for my sensibilities at the time.

I guess I would possibly cringe to see the show today. Whatever.

It reminds me of the time a friend of mine and I were watching a documentary of “The Doors.” We were both into “The Doors” when we were young.

My friend’s kid was watching it with us and at one point, he turned to us and said, “No wonder your generation is so (messed) up.

Alice Cooper liked to play up the tabloid shock value as a marketing ploy; however, his off-stage persona was that of a really nice guy who was taking advantage of the “shock rock” and “glam rock” phenomena.

Although I have read first person accounts that reflect that the following tour, “Welcome to my nightmare” was over the top and got a little weird.

For the younger readers who are no familiar with “Alice Cooper,” his bio, “Meet Alice Cooper” explains:

“Without Alice Cooper, there might never have been the NY Dolls, KISS, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Motley Crue, Slipknot or Rob Zombie ... maybe not even David Bowie, or at least not Ziggy Stardust. The iconic hard rocker, who literally invented the concept of the rock concert as theater, returns to what he does best on Along Came a Spider (SPV Records), the 25th studio album of a long and illustrious career which began in 1969 with the release of Pretties for You on Frank Zappa's Straight label…”

In a recent published account, I read that “Alice Cooper claims he is addicted to his wife. The 60-year-old rocker - who has just released his latest album ‘Along Came a Spider’ - says he has loves spouse Sheryl Goddard so much that he has never been unfaithful to her.

“Alice said: ‘I’ve been married for 32 years and never cheated on her because I’m addicted to her.’

“The musician, who gave up drink and drugs 26 years ago after a well-documented struggle, also revealed he admires Mary Whitehouse, despite her banning the music video for his hit ‘School’s Out’.

“Alice also revealed he sent Mary - who campaigned for morality and decency on TV – flowers to thank her for her controversial decision…” (Alice Cooper addicted to wife August 7, 2008)

Oh, by the way, Alice Cooper, (Vincent Damon Furnier); was born on February 4 1948.

Yes, dear fellow boomers – he is now 60 years old.

Carroll County Times Newspapers In Education Fundraiser November 6 2008

Carroll County Times Newspapers In Education Fundraiser November 6 2008

Friday, October 31, 2008 by Kevin Dayhoff

I used the Newspapers in Education curriculum for a “Community Learning Center” after school program I taught for students at risk in 2007.

I taught students to collage their own newspaper by using the print editions of the Carroll County Times.

Don’t tell the students but they did not know that they were being taught remedial reading in the process.

In the past I have supported the program by donating art for the annual auction fundraiser – which this year will be held on November 6th, 2008. See below for more details.

Yesterday, I dropped off art for my contribution for this year.

For more information, call 410-857-8554 and ask for Gwen Welty and tell her that I asked you to call…

This community initiative by the Carroll County is worthy of your support:

Each year the Times holds several major fundraisers to support the NIE program. The largest is the annual Newspapers in Education Holiday Auction in the fall. Gift certificate block sales may be held throughout the year.

War driving in Nags Head NC – The Scream
October 10 – 19, 2008
http://www.kevindayhoff.net/

I spent the week of October 10-19, 2008 in Nags Head on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in a unit that did not have internet access. To find wireless service, we had to go war driving. It was maddening.

I’m back home now – and I’m fine. Really I am. I’m told the twitching will stop soon…

20070224 Old Hoff Barn off Old Westminster Pike







Old Hoff Barn off Old Westminster Pike
February 24th, 2007 Daily Photoblog

Looking at the old Hoff Barn[1] from Locust Avenue in the Buckingham View - “Tree Street” Development off Old Westminster Pike.

Buckingham View is a pre-World War Two development just outside the Westminster, MD city limits that was developed 1938. The date of the plan is October 1st, 1938.

I spent most of my childhood – from 1961 – 1971 working and playing on the old Hoff Farm. The farm is slated for development.[2] The barn, no doubt, will be torn down. I did not take a picture of the old farmhouse, although I wish I had.

The farmhouse is in a state of disrepair and is undoubtedly also slated for demolition – although it very well may be one of the oldest in Carroll County. The barn and the farmhouse are located right off Old Westminster Pike.

What we now know as the Old Westminster Pike – just east of Westminster, was built between 1804 and 1807. Growing up we called it “Old Baltimore Boulevard. That name (Baltimore Boulevard) seems to have been assigned to Rte 140 in Westminster now.

In 1804 the Maryland legislature chartered the “Baltimore and Reisterstown Turnpike Company” to build a “macadam road” to the Mason-Dixon Line. The road was completed in 1807 at a cost of $1.5 million dollars. It was built to replace an old wagon trail that pre-dated the French and Indian War.

The main reason was to facilitate the better transportation of agricultural goods and commodities to markets outside the county. In those days, Baltimore was the third largest city in the United States and the terminus of seven turnpikes. The turnpike to the Mason Dixon line was built to bring goods and products from southern Pennsylvania to Baltimore instead of Philadelphia.

There have been many farms developed in Carroll County that have made me very sad. The day this barn and farmhouse are torn down will be a life-event sad day for me.

20060823 David S Babylon Obit


David S. Babylon, Jr.

September 4, 1923 – August 22, 2006

Myers-Durboraw Funeral Home

91 Willis Street, Westminster, Maryland 21157

410-848-3933 Fax 410-876-3284

David Snider Babylon, Jr., 82, died at his home on Tuesday, August 22, 2006, after an extended illness.

Born on September 4, 1923 in Westminster, MD, he was the son of the late D. Snider Babylon and Marion Cover Babylon. He and G. Evelyn Fluck Babylon were married October 16, 1948 by her father, the Reverend Dr. William A. Fluck, in Hatfield, PA.

Mr. Babylon was a 1941 graduate of Valley Forge Military Academy. He was one of the youngest Captains commissioned in the U. S. Army during World War II. He graduated from Gettysburg College in January 1948 with a BA degree in Economics.

After graduation, he continued in a business, Cunocar Bookkeeping Service, begun in his college years. Many in Westminster have fond memories of Mr. Babylon’s green “office-on-wheels,” in which he would travel from business to business. He sold his business in 1986, to retire, travel, and enjoy his family and friends. He enjoyed entertaining family and friends at his home on Willis Street.

Much of life was dedicated to public service. He joined the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Company #1 on June 1st, 1949. Serving in the fire department was one of the passions in his life. He served for many years as secretary/treasurer. Some members still recall how he stopped by the station every morning to “match for coffee” – flipping a 1923 silver dollar.

Mr. Babylon served as a Westminster Common Councilman for 25 years, from 1964 to 1989; at which time, he retired. For 16 of those years, he served as the Common Council President as did his grandfather, F. Thomas Babylon, in 1898 and 1899.

Mr. Babylon was a member of Carroll Post 31 American Legion for over 60 years, as well as a member of the Westminster Elks Lodge 2277, and a member and past president of the Westminster Lions Club for over 50 years, for which he was named a Melvin Jones Fellow in 1994. He was a member and past president of the Westminster Riding Club; of which his sister, Eleanor Cover Babylon was a founding member.

He was also an active member of Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church on Carroll Street in Westminster as was his family for two previous generations.

As a business professional, Mr. Babylon served as President and board member of the Westminster Hardware Company for many years. He served as a Director and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Carroll County Bank and Trust Company from 1961 until 1999 as well as Mason-Dixon Bancshares from 1991 to 1999. His grandfather, F. Thomas Babylon and father, D. Snider Babylon, also served as President of the Westminster Hardware Company and as a Director and President of the Westminster Savings Bank, the predecessor of Carroll County Bank & Trust.

He was on the Board of Directors of Piney Branch Golf & Country Club, the Raymond I. Richardson Foundation for Bowling Brook School and the Albaugh and Babylon Grocery Co.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by four children, their spouses and six grandchildren. Marian Babylon Rognlien and her husband, Ronald L. Rognlien and daughter, Marnie, of Nokesville, VA. Col. William T. Babylon, US Army (Ret.) and his wife, Lt. Col. Patricia Jean Cronen Babylon, US Army (Ret.) and their children, Franklin Thomas and his fiancé, Rosalena Magroski; Elizabeth Anne; and David Snider Babylon III, of Anchorage, AK. Caroline Babylon and her husband, Kevin Dayhoff, of Westminster, MD. Sarah Babylon Dorrance and children Jamie and Melissa, of Mount Airy, MD.

He was predeceased by his stepmother, Caroline Billingslea Babylon, sister, Eleanor Cover Babylon, brother Thomas Cover Babylon, and son-in-law James Dorrance.

The family will receive friends at the Myers-Durboraw Funeral Home at 91 Willis Street, Westminster, MD from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8, Friday, August 25. The Westminster Fire Department will hold a memorial service at 8:15 p.m. Friday evening, August 25.

A memorial service will be held at Grace Lutheran Church, 21 Carroll Street in Westminster at 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 26 with the Reverend David B. Helfrich officiating. The family will receive friends from 1 to 2 p.m. before the service at Grace Lutheran Church. Entombment will be private at the family mausoleum at Krider’s Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Evelyn and David S. Babylon Community Fund, c/o The Carroll Community Foundation, 255 Clifton Blvd., Westminster, MD 21157.

20060525 KDDC 1974 Carroll County Office Building

January 8th, 1974 Carroll County Office Building

Recently Ralph Green, the Director of General Services for Carroll County, sent out an e-mail about a construction project at the Carroll County Office Building at 225 North Center Street, which is going to close the main rear entrance of the building from May 30th, 2006, for approximately two weeks.

Apparently the ramp and rear entrance are going to be completely replaced?

The e-mail brought back memories as I worked on the Carroll County Office Building when it was first built in 1973-1974.

The picture attached to this post was taken by me on January 8th, 1974. I worked on the Carroll County Office Building from December 31, 1973 to April 11, 1974. I worked for F&S Masonry as a mason’s tender and one of the jobs I had during that time period was helping set all the cap stones on the building.

Somewhere, I have a bunch of pictures from when I worked on the building – and I have a history of the building written-up. Sometime in my spare time, I’d like to dig those pictures and that information out…

Oh – are you aware that the County Office Building was built on swampland. There was a house there that I remember. I do have a very poor aerial photocopy of a photograph of the area…, which shows the house and the out-buildings. I think that I can get a better copy of the photograph…

As a matter of fact, as I wrote in my January 25th, 2006 Westminster Eagle column, “Days of swine and ice cream greeted 20th century Westminster:”



Mrs. S. LaRue Crowl recently wrote to share with me that her grandfather, J. David Crowl, "owned and operated an ice cream factory on Center Street - the very spot where the Carroll County Office Building is now located.



"I don't know the exact dates of operation," she said, "but am assuming it was somewhere from 1910 through the 1920s.



"He died in 1931. My father, Ernest Crowl, would often tell how, as a boy, on Sundays he would deliver a half gallon of ice cream to the homes on Willis Street for a quarter."



Folks may be surprised to know – at least as I understand it - that Center Street did not go all the way to Rte 140, when Rte 140 was built.



I was not quite one year old when Rte 140 was dedicated, although I remember “Crowl Town” well. So some of this is from folklore and the memory of a small child.



Center Street only went to Crowl Town, which was a large group of houses between the stream that parallels Rte 140 and Rte 140 itself.



At the stream, there was a wooden bridge that allowed access to Crowl Town, but I do not believe that Center Street went all the way to Rte 140. If anyone remembers this differently, let me know.



Now, does anyone remember the name of the gas station at the corner of Center Street and Rte 140?



Meanwhile I’ll paste the rest of Mr. Green’s e-mail below, for those who need to visit the office building in the next several weeks.




The temporary public entrance effective Tuesday, May 30th and during the construction time will be at the lower level at the Public Hearing Room 003/004. Handicap access as well as parking will be designated and signs will be posted for directional purposes. Public parking will also be designated in that area.



Employees with access cards can continue to use all other entrances to enter the building.



The bailiffs will relocate to the lower level entrance and will direct visitors to other areas of the building via the public elevators. Anyone not sure of where they are going or the bailiffs don't know which office to send them to will be directed to the public information desk on the first floor via the public



The existing public parking area can be used by staff during this time so our customers can park and access the temporary entrance to conduct business.



The areas the contractor will be working in and staging materials in will be taped off to accommodate construction needs. Parking is permitted in any area not taped off and can be used by staff as well as visitors to the building. Remember to park in designated parking spaces only so construction equipment and deliveries can access the aisles of the parking lot.



Facilities will be taping off areas and installing temporary directional signs, handicap parking signs, etc., tomorrow afternoon, Friday, May 26th, in preparation for the construction to begin on Tuesday when you return to work from the Memorial Day Holiday.



Any changes, as well as more information, will be communicated via e-mail to everyone by Tom Rio, Bureau of Building Construction.



I appreciate your cooperation and we will make this inconvenience as short as possible.



Thank you!

Exulted Ruler elect: Presently Unemployed

Exceptional Secretary elect: Presently Unemployed

May 13th, 2005

MML President Barrie Tilghman
Maryland Municipal League
1212 West Street
Annapolis, MD 21401-3635

Dear Maryland Municipal League President Barrie Tilghman,

Unemployed Berlin Mayor Rex Hailey, Unemployed Forest Heights Mayor Paula Noble and myself would like to take this opportunity to petition the MML for the formulation of a new Maryland Municipal League Department to be so entitled “The Maryland Unemployed Mayor’s Association” (MMLUMA).

The MMLUMA could be of invaluable service to elected and appointed Maryland public officials, although, we would agree to not ever give anyone, any election advice. We anxiously await your decision, please advise.

Meanwhile, as I am sure you are aware, Tom Ferguson was elected Mayor of the City of Westminster on May 9th, 2005. Mayor Ferguson will do a fine job for our community. Please join me in welcoming and wishing Mayor Ferguson, Godspeed and the best of luck. Please take every opportunity to speak with Westminster Mayor Ferguson about the benefits and value of the MML.

It is with deepest regret that I resign my position as Member at Large of the Maryland Municipal League Board of Directors.

I was first elected to Maryland Municipal League’s Board of Directors, Member-at-Large on June 13th, 2000. I have had the honor to serve on the Board of Directors for the past five years.

It has been a great pleasure working with you, the other Board members, MML Executive Director Scott Hancock and the wonderful, capable and competent MML Staff, elected and appointed public officials throughout the State of Maryland.

It has been an enormous joy to have witnessed the MML continue to grow, prosper, and make an invaluable contribution to all the citizens of Maryland, for whom we have the honor to serve.

If the Board should decide to appoint a replacement for my vacated Member at Large seat, I highly recommend Mt. Airy Council President John Medve.

As I look forward to taking some time off to spend with my family and look forward to whatever opportunities await in the future. I will greatly miss working the MML.

Again, it has been my pleasure to work with you and I wish everyone associated with the MML the very best future. Thank you for all your work.

With best regard, I am

Very truly yours,

/s/

Kevin Dayhoff
