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

The evolution of an Elon baseball player by Sam Calvert

The evolution of an Elon baseball player by Sam Calvert, May 12, 2009

Players pave the way to program’s success

Elon Baseball on Dipity.

Throughout the years, Elon has enjoyed a rich tradition in intercollegiate athletics. Several sports have had successful seasons, but none have sustained the long-term success of the Elon baseball program. Since World War II, the baseball team has posted a record of 1498-905-4 and a .622 winning percentage.

This two-part series will delve into the factors that have contributed to a successful program. Part two looks at the players who have made up the Elon baseball program and the roles they have played in the success of the program.

Although it is easy to see the success of the Elon baseball team in the number of coaches, to truly understand the cause of the success one must dig deeper into the biggest assets the coaches have — players.

Associated Content: Tony Snow, Writing, Libertarianism and Me By Kevin Dayhoff

Associated Content: Tony Snow, Writing, Libertarianism and Me By Kevin Dayhoff

Reflections Upon Being an Aspiring Writer, Tony Snow, Libertarianism, and What If…

Photo: That’s Tony Snow in the 1970s…

I originally wrote this piece on October 31, 2008, after I had stopped by the "Carroll County Times" to drop off a piece of art for the Carroll County Times Newspaper in Education annual auction.

It was published by Associated Content Nov 26, 2008…

[…]

* As an aspiring writer, who stumbled around for several years after I dropped out of Elon College in 1973 to be a "writer," I could easily relate to what Tony Snow may have gone through after he graduated from Davidson and "shuffled from job to job."

* After Mr. Snow graduated from Davidson, he went to work in 1979 for "The Greensboro Record."

* That paper, now "The Greensboro News and Record," is owned by Landmark Communications.

* I interviewed at "The Greensboro Record" in 1973. I had just dropped out of Elon "to be a writer."

* I have followed Mr. Snow's career for many years and I am amused when the media felt the need to label him as a "conservative." He was a libertarian. There is a difference.
