This video clip portrays the Westminster Municipal Band playing a portion of the Marine Hymn, “From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli” at this year’s annual Belle Grove Square summer concert on August 26th, 2007 – in Westminster, Carroll County, Maryland USA.
According to an article, “The Marines' Hymn,” on the U.S.M.C. Band website, http://www.marineband.usmc.mil/: “The author of the words to the hymn is unknown.”
“The music to the hymn is believed to have originated in the comic opera Geneviéve de Brabant composed by the French composer Jacques Offenbach. Originally written as a two-act opera in 1859, Offenbach revised the work, expanding it to three acts in 1867. This revised version included the song “Couplets des Deux Hommes d’Armes” and is the musical source of The Marines’ Hymn.”
“From the Halls of Montezuma” refers to the Battle of Chapultepec during the Mexican-American War.
“The Shores of Tripoli” refers to actions during the First Barbary War and the Battle of Derne.
For those who do not follow the intriques of the Middle East - this is about "Pallywood." For my "The Tentacle" column on "Pallywood," go here:
January 7, 2009 Pallywood – When Pictures Lie Kevin E. Dayhoff After Hamas, the terrorist organization that has controlled the Gaza Strip since June 2007, unilaterally broke a cease-fire on December 19 and resumed shelling southern Israel, Israeli warplanes sprang to Israel’s defense December 27 by attacking Hamas throughout Gaza. Hamas responded immediately with “Pallywood.” ...
I've also posted the YouTube video here for the folks who have gotten back with me who had trouble getting the "Blogger" video to run.
Once the escalator stops - laugh, in an attempt to avoid crying, at the reaction of the folks on the escalator.Way too funny.How many folks do you know who would react this way.This was delightfully e-mailed to me and I do not know whom to credit.If someone knows the source of this hilarity, please be in touch.
In the top picture, the first cars travel freely on West Green Street in Westminster, minutes after it was reopened early Friday evening, December 15th, 2006.
Westminster Street Department workers (LtoR) Wayne Reifsnider, Danny Schaffer, Larry Simpson and Alan Miller wrap-up the finishing touches on the crosswalk at Cover Lane and West Green Street just before the first phase of the $2.2 million project reopened December 15th, 2006 just as Westminster Mayor Tom Ferguson promised.
I stopped by the open session portion of the Carroll County Board of Commissioners meetings last Thursday, December 14th, 2006. In the movie please see Commissioners Mike Zimmer, Julia Walsh Gouge and Dean Minnich listen as Constellation representative Mike Fowler updates the commissioners on electricity upgrades in the county.
“Welcome to 2019” – “If Vangelis hadn't provided such superb music for Blade Runner, then I think we might have been inclined to turn to Pink Floyd for the soundtrack. To see why, download this excellent composition of Blade Runner movie clips edited together by Patrick Meaney to the Pink Floyd track "Welcome to the Machine". This is a 10.8 Mb .wmv file.”
Quite sometime ago I got e-mailed this video and I loved it. Just as I was about to load it in my YouTube account so I could put it on the blog, I found that many other folks have also loaded it. Undeterred, I uploaded it anyway… I wonder who originally put this together? I checked it out on Snopes.com and found no entry for it…
On Thursday afternoon, November 16th, 2006, I had errands to run. I made a point of stopping by a Carroll County Board of Commissioners’ meeting for a bit of historic nostalgia as it would be one of the last meetings in which my good friend of many many years, Commissioner Perry Jones would appear in his official capacity as a Carroll County Commissioner.
The sound in the video is not good, (well – actually, it is essentially non-existent) but I just wanted to capture a brief visual of Perry conducting his official duties.
Also in the video is Commissioner Dean Minnich, and with his back to the camera, Carroll County Chief of Staff, Steve Powell.
I also attended the appreciation luncheon for Commissioner Jones last Friday, November 17th, 2006, and commissioner administrative assistants Cindy Parr and Tim Feeser did a wonderful job with the event.
In what could have been a sad or even maudlin event, Cindy and Tim kept it light and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
About 200 folks attended (?) in what was not quite a roast at all, but was never-the-less appropriately respectful with enough irreverent moments to make it delightful.
(I had been asked to participate in the hilarious video that was shown at the event and my schedule would just not quite allow it – and wow, do I regret it. The video was quite a bit of fun.)

The middle picture is from approximately the 1920s and depicts the Geiman farm buildings that used to exist just to the north- northwest side of what we now know as the grandstand.The top photo is of the football field as viewed looking west from the main campus.This photo is also, maybe, from the 1920s.
This afternoon, Nov. 4, 2006, we enjoyed a McDanielCollege versus MuhlenbergCollege football game on the beautiful campus of McDanielCollege in WestminsterMaryland.For more information about this beautiful private liberal arts college, please go to: http://www.mcdaniel.edu/ or “McDaniel College October 2002 information post.”
WESTMINSTER, Md. – Brad Baer (Westminster, MD/Westminster) completed 18 of 28 passes for 194 yards, including a pair of touchdowns, to lead McDaniel to a 22-19 victory over Muhlenberg in Centennial Conference (CC) football action on Saturday.
Baer also ran for a team-high 80 yards for the Green Terror (4-5, 2-3 CC), who got scoring catches from three different receivers.
Eric Santagato completed 21 of 33 passes and ran for both scores for the Mules (4-5, 2-4 CC), who lost to McDaniel for the 11th consecutive season.
Trailing 19-14 at the end of the third quarter after Santagato capped a nine-play, 42-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown run, the two teams traded three-and-outs before the Green Terror put together a methodical game-winning drive.
Taking over at its own 27, Baer completed a six-yard out pattern to Matt Gingrich (Rockville, MD/Magruder) and used his feet to scramble for another nine, setting up first down at the McDaniel 42.
After a seven-yard completion to Christian Turner (Baltimore, MD/St. Paul’s) and the sixth Muhlenberg sack gave the Green Terror a third-and-8 from its own 44, Baer took off for an 18-yard run to set up first down at the Muhlenberg 38.
After four straight completions moved McDaniel inside the 20 and facing fourth-and-1, the Green Terror elected to go for it.
Tom Develin (Boyertown, PA/Boyertown Area) went for three yards off the right tackle to move the chains.
After a one-yard completion to Gingrich and timeouts by each team, Baer found Matt Bergbauer (Westminster, MD/Westminster), who caught five passes for a career-high 110 yards,for a 15-yard touchdown to put McDaniel on top, 20-19.
Baer hit Gingrich for the two-point conversion for a 22-19 lead with 5:46 to play.
On the ensuing kickoff, Jay Leonard’s (Westminster, MD/Westminster) squib kick went off the foot of one of the Muhlenberg front-line players, allowing Ryan Sheahin (Frederick, MD/Frederick) to jump on the ball and give the Green Terror possession once again.
After three runs netted just six yards but chewed up 2 minutes, 18 seconds, Tom Wenrich’s (Wernersville, PA/Conrad Weiser) 43-yard punt pinned the Mules at their own 2.
Muhlenberg used the seven plays to move the ball out to its own 27 before Bobby Waugh (Hagerstown, MD/North Hagerstown) picked off Santagato to seal the victory.
On the Green Terror’s second play from scrimmage, Baer broke a 59-yard run to move his squad deep into Mule territory.
After two more Baer rushes and a four-yard pass to Turner moved the ball from the 27 to 11.
On first down, Baer lateralled the ball wide to Brett Gibson (Felton, DE/Dover), who found Chris Martin (Clarksville, PA/River Hill) in the back corner of the end zone for the senior’s first reception of the season.
Pinned deep its own territory on its next possession, Joel Haddock broke through the line to block the punt, which rolled out of the back of the end zone for a safety to pull Muhlenberg within 7-2.
The Mules opened the second quarter with a 13-play, 56-yard drive that Timothy Hughes capped with a season-long 42-yard field goal to pull his team within 7-5.
A Drew Abbamonte (Damascus, MD/Damascus) interception and 24-yard return gave McDaniel possession on Muhlenberg side of the field.
On third-and-6 from the 43, Baer hooked up with Bergbauer for a 42-yard gain, setting up first-and-goal from the one-yard line.
On second down, a 20-yard sack pushed the Green Terror back to the 21.
On the next play, McDaniel sent the field-goal team on the field, forcing Muhlenberg to take a timeout.
Out of the timeout and with 15 seconds on the clock, the Green Terror elected to send the offense back onto the field. After an encroachment penalty moved McDaniel to the 16, Baer found Gingrich on the fade to put the hosts on top 14-5 entering the break.
Santagato engineered a 13-play, 72-yard drive to open the second half, calling his own number to cap the march with a four-yard run.
In addition to his fourth interception of the season, Abbamonte led the McDaniel defense with 18 tackles and a pass breakup. Anthony Catucci (Davidson, MD/Archbishop Spalding) also reached double figures with 10 stops.
Matt Johnson led the Mules on the ground with 92 yards rushing. David Mazzola, Matt Rathbun and Billy Moates each had eight tackles to pace the defense. Tom Tarsitano added seven stops, including two for loss and 1.5 sacks.
The Green Terror, who will look to record its 500th all-time victory and avoid its first losing season since 1996, wraps up the 2006 season at Johns Hopkins on Saturday. Game time is 1 p.m.
We had dinner last Monday evening at Baugher’s and the wait staff was dressed up in Halloween costumes.They were a lot of fun.
Many things are changing in CarrollCounty but if you look hard enough, you can still find the fun of a small community and that is one of the things that make Westminster still a great place to live.
Please enjoy the short video in which they displayed their costumes in a variety of poses.
