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. Club secretary Dr. Jim Lightner notes that at this month's Rotary event, Ober Herr, one the longest-serving members of the club, gave a brief presentation details the organization's rich history… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0324-20130320,0,3842909.story

Kev McClellan Run Across America for Cancer


Kev McClellan Run Across America

March 8, 2013

Kev McClellan writes, “Cancer is a terrible thing, and by raising awareness, we can fight it. I'm running across the country to help raise awareness for cancer for the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults.

“Any donation will help me with my journey. Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters! So if you see me, my pockets will gladly take your spare change!

“If you can spare some money, you can donate electronically here. Even $5 helps a lot!

http://4kforcancer.org/profiles/kevin-mcclellan/ (electronically, $5 is the minimum)

“Please, spread the word! Thanks so much.”

Any help you can give to Kev McClellan is greatly appreciated… Small donations to a good guy and a good cause add up. Kevin McClellan a fellow runner is one of “the three Kevins” - McDaniel College classmates – who went on the McDaniel in Greece Jan Term class. (The three Kevins in Greece, January 2013: Kevin E. Dayhoff, Kevin McClellan, and Kevin Alexander. McDaniel in Greece January 2013)

Carroll Co Chapter NAACP, McDaniel, and Carroll Community College celebrate Martin Luther King with music


Along with 80 other folks from throughout Carroll County, including a broad cross section of local elected officials; I attended the 10th annual Carroll County NAACP Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Breakfast at Martin’s Westminster.

Carroll Co Chapter NAACP, McDaniel, and Carroll Community College celebrate Martin Luther King with music

Though Jan. 21 was a school holiday for students around the country, a number of students were on a school campus earlier this week.

McDaniel College welcomed nearly 100 Carroll County schoolchildren on Monday to the fourth annual Martin Luther King Day of celebration and reflection.

From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., students of all ages participated in a variety of activities that celebrated King's life and provided a service to the community.

[…]

Carroll County Community College also provided supplies for the students to make cards for senior citizens as a service project.

"We recognize Dr. King's accomplishments and methods of nonviolence and his service to the community," said Pamela Zappardino, co-director of Ira and Mary Zepp Center for Non-violence and Peace Education, about the event. "It is a day on, rather than a day off. A component of the day is doing a service project."

The center at McDaniel College was a sponsor of the event, as was the NAACP.

"These things are always fun," Zappardino said. "The kids are great."

The Tentacle: New history book on Maryland Politics by John Willis and Herb Smith discussed at McDaniel College


State’s Political History Has A New Review
Kevin E. Dayhoff October 3, 2012

“Maryland Politics and Government: Democratic Dominance,” written by Drs. John T. Willis and Herbert C. Smith, is an in-depth look at Maryland’s political identity.

Steeped in history and tradition, the dark wood paneling of McDaniel Hall on the campus of McDaniel College was the perfect setting for a recent book talk on the arcane, distinctive, and uniquely byzantine political history of the State of Maryland.. 

The University of Nebraska noted that the reference book is “certain to set the standard for understanding the politics of Maryland for years to come…”

“There are fifteen chapters and well over 300 pages of text. Considering we submitted an 800-page manuscript, one has to marvel at the editorial acumen out there”… Dr. Smith said at the University of Nebraska.... http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5375


“It’s truly a labor of love,” Dr. Smith says, “explaining that he and Dr. Willis have gone through a number of updates trying to capture a political system that is essentially a moving target,” according to an article on the McDaniel College website.

The long-awaited 432-page book, written by two longstanding friends of mine, was released on January 1, 2012, and is part of the Politics and Governments of the American States Series by the University of Nebraska Press.

Dr. Willis is the director of the government and public policy program at the University of Baltimore. He has served as Maryland’s secretary of state from 1995 to 2003 and is the author of “Presidential Elections in Maryland.”

Dr. Smith, the director of government relations at the college, has been a professor of political science and international studies at McDaniel College since 1973.

“Maryland, in all candor, is neglected, overlooked… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5375

Sets the standard for understanding the politics of Maryland for years to come

Then, an in-depth look at Maryland’s political identity, with longtime political analyst Herb Smith and party official John Willis, authors of “Maryland Politics and Government: Democratic Dominance.” Herb Smith is a professor of political science and international studies at McDaniel College. John Willis is director of the government and public policy program at the University of Baltimore. He has served as a Democratic party official and was Maryland’s secretary of state from 1995 to 2003.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Contents:

The Maryland identity
A Maryland political history
Contemporary political patterns
Maryland public opinion
Political parties, interest groups, and corruption
The Maryland Constitution
The Maryland General Assembly
The Maryland governor and the executive branch
The Maryland judiciary
The politics of taxation and spending
"Pleasant living" policies and politics
Maryland in the federal system
Local governments in Maryland
Maryland's future
Further reference for Maryland study.

Tucked between the larger commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia and overshadowed by the political maneuverings of its neighbor, Washington, D.C., Maryland has often been overlooked and neglected in studies of state governmental systems.

With the publication of Maryland Politics and Government, the challenging demographic diversity, geographic variety, and dynamic Democratic pragmatism of Maryland finally get their due.

Two longtime political analysts, Herbert C. Smith and John T. Willis, conduct a sustained inquiry into topics including the Maryland identity, political history, and interest groups; the three branches of state government; and policy areas such as taxation, spending, transportation, and the environment.

Smith and Willis also establish a “Two Marylands” model that explains the dominance of the Maryland Democratic Party, established in the post–Civil War era, that persists to this day even in a time of political polarization. Unique in its scope, detail, and coverage, Maryland Politics and Government sets the standard for understanding the politics of the Free State (or, alternately, the Old Line State) for years to come.
