On April 16, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. penned a 7,000-word letter from a jail cell in Birmingham, Ala. The letter came in response to a statement by eight white Alabama pastors on April 12, 1963, titled "A Call for Unity."

King had been arrested April 12 for demonstrating in defiance of an injunction issued against the Birmingham Campaign of marches and sit-ins, which had begun on April 3.

The white clergy members argued that the cause of civil rights was better contested in the courts than the streets of Birmingham.

King's response has become famous in the study of persuasive rhetoric in which, in part, he suggested that the "wait" requested by the white pastors — who argued that 1963 was not the time for King to pursue equal rights — really meant "never."

King also put forth that non-violent civil disobedience was an appropriate response to unjust laws, and that "one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."

The letter was the origin of the now-famous argument that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," and quotes Chief Justice Earl Warren, "Justice too long delayed is justice denied."

His letter also referenced a few other notables, such as Paul of Tarsus, Reinhold Niebuhr, Socrates, Paul Tillich and Thomas Aquinas.

In addition to being a man of letters, King is, of course, he's best known for speaking — the most famous example being his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington on Aug. 28, 1963.

Closer to home, we should note that a setback to the cause of King and many of his era occurred on Nov. 14, 1963, at the lunchroom of Sykesville Mayor Bernard McDougall's drug store, where Jean S. Evans and Bailey Conaway were refused service… Read more: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0421-20130417,0,4791772.story

The Lovin Spoonful - Summer In The City

John1948EightC | April 03, 2010

Right on the tails of the Beau Brummels and the Byrds, the Lovin' Spoonful were among the first American groups to challenge the domination of the British Invasion bands in the mid-'60s. Between mid-1965 and the end of 1967, the group was astonishingly successful, issuing one classic hit single after another, including "Do You Believe in Magic?," "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice," "Daydream," "Summer in the City," "Rain on the Roof," "Nashville Cats," and "Six O'Clock."

Like most of the folk-rockers, the Lovin' Spoonful were more pop and rock than folk, which didn't detract from their music at all. Much more than the Byrds, and even more than the Mamas & the Papas, the Spoonful exhibited a brand of unabashedly melodic, cheery, and good-time music, though their best single, "Summer in the City," was uncharacteristically riff-driven and hard-driving. More influenced by blues and jug bands than other folk-rock acts, their albums were spotty and their covers at times downright weak. As glorious as their singles were, they lacked the depth and innovation of the Byrds, their chief competitors for the crown of best folk-rock band, and their legacy hasn't been canonized with nearly as much reverence as their West Coast counterparts.

Leader and principal songwriter John Sebastian was a young veteran of the Greenwich Village folk scene when he formed the band in 1965 with Zal Yanovsky, who'd already played primitive folk-rock of a sort with future members of the Mamas & the Papas in the Mugwumps. Sebastian already had some recording experience under his belt, playing harmonica (his father was a virtuoso classical harmonica player) on sessions by folkies like Tom Rush and Fred Neil. The Spoonful were rounded out by Steve Boone on bass and Joe Butler on drums. After some tentative interest from Phil Spector (who considered producing them), they ended up signing with Kama Sutra. Sebastian's autoharp (which would also decorate several subsequent tracks) helped propel "Do You Believe in Magic?" into the Top Ten in late 1965.

The Lovin' Spoonful were torn asunder by a drug bust in 1967. Boone and Yanovsky were arrested in California for marijuana possession, and evidently got out of trouble by turning in their source. This didn't sit well with the burgeoning counterculture, which called for a boycott of Spoonful product, although the effect on their sales may have been overestimated; most of the people who bought Spoonful records were average teenage Americans, not hippies. Yanovsky left the band in mid-1967, to be replaced by Jerry Yester, former producer of the Association.

The band had a few more mild hits, but couldn't survive the loss of John Sebastian, who effectively closed the chapter by leaving in 1968, although the group straggled on briefly under the helm of Butler. Sebastian went on to moderate success as a singer/songwriter in the 1970s. Live at the Hotel Seville, the first new Lovin' Spoonful album in three decades, was released in 1999. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

Mythologizing and romanticizing the 1960s

Mythologizing and romanticizing the 1960s and the great-unwashed self-importance of the Woodstock Generation

August 26, 2009 by Kevin Dayhoff

http://twitpic.com/eg1ml

Several folks have called to my attention the “wonderful 1960s,” “Camelot,” and the “Woodstock Generation,” in relationship with Senator Kennedy’s passing.

Oh please give me a break.

For older conservatives, there comes with Senator Kennedy’s death, a certain uninvited nostalgia that comes with the passing of an era.

The coverage of his life and times uncomfortably reminds older baby boomers of the difficult 1960s and the horrific consequences bestowed upon the Kennedy family, society and the nation as a result of that decade – as the retrospectives about Senator Kennedy’s life are played out before us in the media.

The polite and reverential praise for the life and accomplishments of Senator Kennedy may be more appropriate for those more qualified.

I’m sad and reflective about the passing of Senator Kennedy but I, for one, have little in the way of good sociological, political, or historical memories about the 1960s – or the 1970s, for that matter.

And I certainly cannot romanticize either Woodstock – or the “Woodstock Generation,” of which the gratuitous coverage was mercifully overcome by the Obamas on vacation in paradise and Senator Kennedy’s passing.

It has been a banner year for the baby boomer generation and much of the media to narcissistically utilize the cracked mirror by which it views its navel.

A casual objective observer could conclude that 1969 - 40 years ago - was the only year in which much of anything happened in the 1960s. Of course, there are some children of the 60s that can’t remember any of it …

At best the recent overindulgent coverage of Woodstock certainly fell somewhere between zeal and monomania. In case you were mercifully on vacation and missed the gratuitous visual displays on television; it was forty years ago that the weekend of peace, love, and revolution took place at Max Yasgur’s 600-acre farm in upstate New York.

The media has waxed poetically about the self-aggrandizing maniacal mayhem which took place August 15-18, 1969 - the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, N.Y.

The retro-revisionist nostalgic meanderings about Woodstock gratuitously dusted-off all the grainy pictures of nearly a half-million people wallowing in mud, filth, and debris in various stages of losing their clothes – and their minds.

For those with a doctorate in modern anxiety and a minor in ennui; remember the iconic “naked woman stands up in the crowd during the 1969 Woodstock festival..,” or all the naked people sliding in the mud or swimming in the pond.

“Cue the superannuated hippies!,” wrote Greig Dymond, in a piece for CBC News titled, “Can we please stop mythologizing Woodstock?”

“Roll the archival tape of wasted, hairy people sliding through the mud! … We’re in the dog days of August and this is a feel-good story news channels can use to kill significant time. Weren’t those flower children cute? And so idealistic!”

Ay caramba.

Perhaps the New York Times music critic Jon Pareles summed it up best: “Baby boomers won’t let go of the Woodstock Festival. Why should we? It’s one of the few defining events of the late 1960s that had a clear happy ending.”

I was amused to read what Emily Brobrow wrote in the “More Intelligent Life” section of The Economist:

“There is something so tiresome about baby boomers waxing on about their own unwashed importance, squeezing out every last penny from marketing their memories. Yet it's hard not to feel moved by all of the manipulatively wistful slideshows and soundtracks.”

Moved? Nothing to see here folks except Jimi Hendrix playing the “Star Spangled Banner,” let’s move along. Me, I was moved to watch a lot of the Food Channel.

Mythologie et de glorifier le 1960 et le Grand-sales auto-importance de la génération Woodstock

Août 26, 2009 par Kevin Dayhoff

Plusieurs gens ont appelé mon attention sur les "merveilleuses années 1960», «Camelot» et le «Woodstock Generation», en relation avec le décès du sénateur Kennedy.

Oh s'il vous plaît donnez-moi une pause.

Pour les conservateurs plus âgés, il est livré avec la mort du sénateur Kennedy, une nostalgie sans y être invité certains qui vient avec le passage d'une époque.

La couverture de sa vie et l'époque rappelle désagréablement plus âgés des baby-boomers des années 1960 difficiles et les conséquences horribles accordé à la famille Kennedy, la société et la nation à la suite de cette décennie - comme les rétrospectives sur la vie du sénateur Kennedy se jouent devant nous dans les médias.

Les éloges polis et respectueux de la vie et les réalisations du sénateur Kennedy mai-être plus approprié pour les plus qualifiés.

Je suis triste et réfléchie au sujet du décès du sénateur Kennedy, mais, pour ma part, ont peu à la manière de bons souvenirs sociologiques, politiques ou historiques sur les années 1960 - ou les années 1970, pour cette question.

Et je ne peux certainement pas idéaliser ni Woodstock - ou le «Woodstock Generation», dont la couverture gratuite a été surmontée par les Obama heureusement en vacances au paradis et le décès du sénateur Kennedy.

Il a été une année record pour la génération du baby-boom et la plupart des médias de recourir à narcissiquement le miroir fendu par laquelle elle considère que son nombril.

Un observateur objectif occasionnel pourrait conclure qu'il ya 1969 à 40 ans - a été la seule année où une grande partie de tout ce qui s'est passé dans les années 1960. Bien sûr, il ya des enfants des années 60 qui ne me souviens pas de tout ça ...

Au mieux, la couverture indulgentes récente de Woodstock certainement se situait quelque part entre le zèle et la monomanie. Au cas où vous vous heureusement en vacances et a raté le visuel affiche gratuite sur la télévision, c'était il ya quarante ans que le week-end de la paix, l'amour et la révolution a eu lieu au 600-Max Yasgur's Farm acre en état de New York.

Les médias ont ciré poétique sur le soi-mayhem s'agrandir maniaque qui a eu lieu Août 15-18, 1969 - le Woodstock Music and Art Fair à Bethel, NY

La rétro-révisionniste méandres nostalgiques de Woodstock gratuitement saupoudré-off toutes les images granuleuses de près d'un demi-million de personnes se vautrer dans la boue, la saleté et les débris à divers stades de perdre leurs vêtements - et leur esprit.

Pour ceux ayant un doctorat dans l'angoisse moderne et une mineure en l'ennui; souvenir de la femme "iconique nu se lève dans la foule au cours de la .. 1969 Festival de Woodstock, ou tous les gens nus glissant dans la boue ou la natation dans l'étang.

"Cue les hippies surannée!", Écrit Greig Dymond, dans un morceau intitulé Nouvelles de la SRC, «Pouvons-nous s'il vous plaît arrêter mythification Woodstock?"

«Faire de la bande d'archives de gaspillage, poilu personnes glissant dans la boue! ... Nous sommes dans la canicule d'août et c'est un feel-good story voies nouvelles peuvent utiliser pour tuer le temps significatif. N'étaient pas celles enfants fleurs cute? Et tellement idéaliste! "

Ay caramba.

Peut-être le critique New York Times Music Jon Pareles le résumait le mieux: «Les baby-boomers ne seront pas lâcher du Festival de Woodstock. Pourquoi devrions-nous? C'est l'un des rares événements définition de la fin des années 1960 qui a eu une fin heureuse clair ".

Je me suis amusé à lire ce que Emily Brobrow a écrit dans le "Plus Intelligent Life» de The Economist:

"Il ya quelque chose d'aussi ennuyeux dans l'épilation à la cire sur les baby-boomers au sujet de leur propre importance non lavés, en retirer chaque dernier sou de commercialiser leurs souvenirs. Pourtant il est difficile de ne pas être ému par tous les diaporamas manipulatively nostalgiques et des bandes sonores.

Déplacé? Rien à voir ici les gens, sauf Jimi Hendrix jouer de la "Star Spangled Banner," Let's Move Along. Moi, j'ai été ému de regarder beaucoup de la Chaîne alimentaire.

Mitificación y la idealización de la década de 1960 y el gran auto-lavados importancia de la generación de Woodstock

26 de agosto 2009 por Kevin Dayhoff

Varias personas han llamado mi atención sobre la "maravillosa década de 1960", "Camelot" y la "generación de Woodstock", en relación con el paso del Senador Kennedy.

Oh, por favor dame un respiro.

Para los mayores, los conservadores, llega con la muerte del senador Kennedy, la nostalgia de algunos invitados que viene con el paso de una era.

La cobertura de su vida y recuerda a veces incómodo "baby boomers" más difícil de la década de 1960 y las terribles consecuencias concedido a la familia Kennedy, de la sociedad y la nación como resultado de esa década - como las retrospectivas sobre la vida del Senador Kennedy se juegan ante nosotros en los medios de comunicación.

El elogio cortés y respetuoso de la vida y los logros del Senador Kennedy puede ser más apropiado para los más calificados.

Estoy triste y reflexiva sobre el paso del senador Kennedy, pero yo, por ejemplo, tienen poco en el camino de los buenos recuerdos sociológicos, políticos o históricos de la década de 1960 - o de la década de 1970, para el caso.

Y ciertamente no puede idealizar o Woodstock - o la "generación de Woodstock", de los cuales la cobertura gratuita fue afortunadamente superado por los Obama de vacaciones en el paraíso y el paso del Senador Kennedy.

Ha sido un año excepcional para la generación del baby boom y la mayor parte de los medios de comunicación a utilizar el narcisista espejo roto por el que se considera que su ombligo.

Un observador objetivo casual podría concluir que 1969 a 40 años - fue el único año en que gran parte de lo que sucedió en la década de 1960. Por supuesto, hay algunos niños de los años 60 que no puede recordar nada de eso ...

En el mejor de la cobertura excesivamente indulgente reciente de Woodstock ciertamente cayó en algún lugar entre el celo y la monomanía. En caso de que afortunadamente fueron de vacaciones y se perdió la muestra gratuita visuales en la televisión, sino que era hace cuarenta años que el fin de semana de la paz, el amor y la revolución tuvo lugar en la granja de Max Yasgur de 600 acres en el norte del estado de Nueva York.

Los medios de comunicación ha sufrido poéticamente sobre la auto-mutilación maníaca engrandecimiento que tuvo lugar en agosto 15-18, 1969 - la música y la Feria de Arte de Woodstock en Bethel, NY

La retro-revisionista meandros nostalgia de Woodstock gratuitamente desempolvados de descuento en todos los cuadros grano de casi medio millón de personas revolcarse en el barro, la suciedad y los escombros en las distintas etapas de perder sus ropas - y sus mentes.

Para aquellos con un doctorado en la angustia moderna y un menor en el aburrimiento; recuerdo el icono "mujer desnuda se levanta entre la multitud durante el 1969 .. festival de Woodstock", o toda la gente desnuda deslizamiento en el lodo o nadar en el estanque.

"Cue los hippies anticuado!", Escribió Greig Dymond, en una pieza para CBC News titulado, "¿Podemos dejar de mitificación de Woodstock?"

"Hacer la cinta de archivo de desperdicio, la gente peluda deslizantes por el barro! ... Estamos en la canícula de agosto y esta es una sensación de canales de noticias buena historia puede utilizar para matar el tiempo significativo. No eran los hijos de las flores lindo? Y tan idealista! "

Ay caramba.

Tal vez el crítico de música del New York Times Jon Pareles lo resumió mejor: "Los baby boomers no soltar el Festival de Woodstock. ¿Por qué deberíamos hacerlo? Es uno de los pocos eventos que definen la década de 1960 que tuvo un final feliz, claro. "

Me hizo gracia leer lo que escribió Emily Brobrow en la "sección" Más Vida Inteligente "de The Economist:

"Hay algo tan pesado sobre la generación del baby boom creciente acerca de su importancia en la propia sin lavar, exprimiendo hasta el último centavo de la comercialización de sus recuerdos. Sin embargo, es difícil no sentirse conmovido por todas las presentaciones manipuladoramente nostálgica y bandas sonoras. "

Movido? Nada que ver aquí la gente, salvo Jimi Hendrix tocando el himno nacional, "vamos a seguir el ritmo. A mí, me trasladaron a ver mucho el canal de Alimentación.

A pre-conceived version of the internet in 1969

I well remember the first computer terminal – around 1969. It was about the size of a large ATM machine and it was located in a math teacher’s classroom at Westminster High School… It did not, of course, look like what is portrayed in this video. ~ Kevin Dayhoff

Comprehensive planning in Carroll County

~ May 2, 2009 Kevin Dayhoff

Recently some colleagues and readers have asked me to write an update of the Carroll County Comprehensive Plan - Pathways to Carroll’s Future Landscape, process.

Candidly, it was not on my radar screen; however, I’ll take a look into it…

Meanwhile, this is where you may find a previous column I had written on the history of the Carroll County Comprehensive Plan process in Carroll County: http://tinyurl.com/clkwbn

Planning a pathway in Carroll County from 1961 into the future

As the work continues on an update of the Carroll County Comprehensive Plan - Pathways to Carroll’s Future Landscape, it is a good time to reflect on some of the history of master planning in Carroll County and some of the past community leaders who worked hard to provide us with the firm foundation we have today, which allows us to confidently plan our future.

The methodology of developing our “Pathways” plan and the emphasis on community involvement and consensus building are once again highlighting Carroll County in a groundbreaking and leadership position throughout the state.

Then again, when it comes to master planning, leadership is something that comes quite naturally to our county. We have a history of excellence.

In November 1961, the Carroll County Planning and Zoning Commission issued the first Carroll County Master Plan, entitled “Agriculture.” The report was developed under the visionary leadership of George A. Grier, the planning director for Carroll County at the time.

Community leaders serving on the 1961 Planning Commission were Chairman E. Miller Richardson, Russell Royer, Walter Harner, and Clarence Shaw. The Agricultural Advisors were Chairman John Bixler, Frank Bushey, Jonathan Dorsey, George Tracy, and Lloyd Wilhide.

The 1961 Carroll County Master Plan was the inspiration of Mr. Grier who began his tenure with county government in 1959. He was the county's first planning director. He later served as the county administrator. Mr. Grier retired in 1983 after almost 25 years of public service.

Chambers Bros "Time Has Come Today"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JygvU2haTTo

This is the long version - - Of course, if you are really a child of the 1960s, you can’t remember any of it; so this is offered to help to jog your memory. Turn on the black lights, crank this up to 11 and for pity sakes, do not set off any smoke alarms. Warning, this may cause a “flashback.” If so, just curl up in a fetal position with pillows, avoid bright lights, grab a bowl of corn pops cereal, and ride it out.

A note about YouTube and copyrighted material:

This video brings back great memories… However better yet - I was elated to read in the description of this video: “Chambers Bros ‘Time Has Come Today’ UMG has allowed this copyrighted material to be posted.”

Finally, FINALLY, at least some folks are waking up to the marketing potential of music on YouTube videos.

I have been meaning to make a list of all the record companies that have made me swap-out audios on my YouTubes, (http://www.youtube.com/user/kevindayhoff) so that I may remember to never, EVER, buy any material from them.

I have been a full-time practicing artist for most of my life and I fully appreciate protecting intellectual property – but I also know that I will have little in the way of “intellectual property to protect, if no one knows about my art – OR worse yet, I act in a brutish and boorish manner protecting it…

Perhaps, someone can provide more information on what material “UMG” has available – I will make a point of buying some of it.

This Day in History for February 11, 2009

This Day in History for February 11, 2009

February 11, 2009 by © Kevin Dayhoff

Years ago in the middle of February, the Baltimore Colts, graffiti, a new jail, going hungry and sweet corn were on the minds of Carroll Countians – not necessarily in that order.

The Baltimore Colts are coming to town.

On February 11, 1949 it was announced that the Baltimore Colts were coming to Western Maryland College – now known as McDaniel College - to practice in the summer.

The now out-of-print Democratic Advocate carried the headline: “College Campus To Be Used By Colts- Coach Isbell Expects to Bring 55 Players to Train, Starting in July.”

The article proclaimed: “Baltimore's football Colts are going to train at Western Maryland College this year. Dr. Lowell S. Ensor, president of the Methodist school, and Walter S. Driskill, Colts general manager, have signed a contract providing for the city's All-America Football Conference squad to use the Westminster College's campus as a pre-season base of operations …

“Driskill … cited a number of advantages in choosing Western Maryland. "The school's facilities are ideal," he explained, "and because Westminster is only 30 miles from Baltimore the fans will have a good chance to get acquainted with us.’

Children will be children.

The February 11, 1921 edition of the now defunct Union Bridge Pilot lamented: “The practice of defacing property with chalk and pencils… appears to be a favorite pastime with some children.

“Newly painted buildings and porch columns appear to offer special inducements for the practice. The town authorities as a rule do not care to resort to legal measures with children, yet it appears a few applications of this medicine might prove effective.”

New jail to be built.

On February 13, 1970, another local newspaper that has long since fallen by the wayside, the Community Reporter, reported that the Carroll County Board of Commissioners, Robert M. McKinney, Paul J. Walsh, and Scott S. Bair, Jr., “have officially approved the building of a new county jail in Westminster for Carroll County…

“The issue… has been debated for several years. In 1968 the State Jail Inspector stated the jail was not usable and ordered it closed. Since that time, the county has been transporting prisoners to the Baltimore city jail.”

Eventually somebody is going to go hungry.

The February 13, 1920 edition of the Union Bridge Pilot, helped spread the alarm that according to Prof. T. C. Atkeson, the Washington representative of the National Grange: “The Cities Must Experience Industrial Crash.”

Professor Atkeson warned that an “economic crash that will bring down the cost of living, must originate in the cities, and reach such an extent that those who have left the country sections for "big wages" will come back to the country…

“He says there is no cure for high prices that Congress, or anybody, can provide, but that the situation must work itself out...

“He says the labor situation is rapidly making it impossible for the farmers to feed the country, and that eventually somebody is going to go hungry.”

Carroll County was sweet on sweet corn.

Four years later, on February 1, 1924, the Democratic Advocate reported: “One of the largest crops produced by the farmer in Carroll (is) sweet corn…

“The average yield (was) close to 3 tons (per acre.) … The cost ran from $13.00 to $13.50 per ton. Allowing only .25 per hour for labor and .10 per hour for horse.”

USS Pueblo captured January 23, 1968

USS Pueblo captured January 23, 1968

It is a dangerous world out there. And wishing that dynamic away with wishful thinking or attempting to make the danger go away by the force of naive will or force of personality endangers our country…

For example, on this date:

On January 23, 1968, the USS Pueblo a Navy intelligence vessel, is engaged in a routine surveillance of the North Korean coast when it is intercepted by NorthKorean patrol boats. According to U.S. reports, the Pueblo was in internationalwaters almost 16 miles from shore, but the North Koreans turned their guns onthe lightly armed vessel and demanded its surrender.

The Americans attempted to escape, and the North Koreans opened fire, wounding the commander, Lloyd Bucher, and two others. With capture inevitable, the Americans stalled for time, destroying the classified information aboard while taking further fire. Several more crew members were wounded, including Duane Hodges, who later died from his injuries.

Finally, the Pueblo was boarded and taken to Wonson. There, the 83-man crew was bound and blindfolded and transported to Pyongyang, where they were charged with spying within North Korea's 12-mile territorial limit and imprisoned. It was the biggest crisis in two years of increased tension and minor skirmishes between the United States and North Korea.

The United States maintained that the Pueblo had been in international waters and demanded the release of the captive sailors. With the Tet Offensive raging 2,000 miles to the south in Vietnam, President Lyndon Johnson ordered no direct retaliation, but the United States began a military buildup in the area. North Korean authorities, meanwhile, coerced a confession and apology out of Pueblo commander Bucher, in which he stated, "I will never again be a party to any disgraceful act of aggression of this type." The rest of the crew also signed a confession under threat of torture.

The prisoners were then taken to a second compound in the countryside near Pyongyang, where they were forced to study propaganda materials and beaten for straying from the compound's strict rules. In August, the North Koreans staged a phony news conference in which the prisoners were to praise their humane treatment, but the Americans thwarted the Koreans by inserting innuendoes and sarcastic language into their statements. Some prisoners also rebelled in photo shoots by casually sticking out their middle finger; a gesture that their captors didn't understand. Later, the North Koreans caught on and beat the Americans for a week.

On December 23, 1968, exactly 11 months after the Pueblo's capture, U.S. and North Korean negotiators reached a settlement to resolve the crisis. Under the settlement's terms, the United States admitted the ship's intrusion into North Korean territory, apologized for the action, and pledged to cease any future such action. That day, the surviving 82 crewmen walked one by one across the "Bridge of No Return" at Panmunjon to freedom in South Korea. They were hailed as heroes and returned home to the United States in time for Christmas.

Incidents between North Korea and the United States continued in 1969, and in April 1969 a North Korean MiG fighter shot down a U.S. Navy intelligence aircraft, killing all 31 men aboard. In 1970, quiet returned to the demilitarized zone.

The Trail: Bill Ayers Speaks By Peter Slevin

The Trail: Bill Ayers Speaks By Peter Slevin

November 4, 2008

CHICAGO -- In his first interview since he became an issue in the 2008 presidential campaign, Bill Ayers, the former Weather Underground leader, said today that he had a distant relationship with Barack Obama and that Obama's opponents had turned him into "a cartoon character."

Ayers, now an education professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago, said he thought the accusation by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin that Obama had been "palling around with terrorists" was absurd.

"Pal around together? What does that mean? Share a milkshake with two straws?" Ayers said. "I think my relationship with Obama was probably like thousands of others in Chicago. And, like millions and millions of others, I wish I knew him better."

[…]

In the late-1960s, the Weather Underground, a radical offshoot of the antiwar movement, claimed responsibility for roughly a dozen bombings. Among the targets were the Pentagon, the Capitol, police stations, banks and courthouses. Beyond the three conspirators killed in the 1970s when a bomb exploded prematurely, no one was injured in a campaign described by one critic as "immensely bad ideas and dreadful tactics."

Planning a pathway in Carroll County from 1961 into the future

Planning a pathway in Carroll County from 1961 into the future
June 14, 2006 by Kevin Dayhoff (639 words)

As the work continues on an update of the Carroll County Comprehensive Plan - Pathways to Carroll’s Future Landscape, it is a good time to reflect on some of the history of master planning in Carroll County and some of the past community leaders who worked hard to provide us with the firm foundation we have today, which allows us to confidently plan our future.

The methodology of developing our “Pathways” plan and the emphasis on community involvement and consensus building are once again highlighting Carroll County in a groundbreaking and leadership position throughout the state.

Then again, when it comes to master planning, leadership is something that comes quite naturally to our county. We have a history of excellence.

In November 1961, the Carroll County Planning and Zoning Commission issued the first Carroll County Master Plan, entitled “Agriculture.” The report was developed under the visionary leadership of George A. Grier, the planning director for Carroll County at the time.

Community leaders serving on the 1961 Planning Commission were Chairman E. Miller Richardson, Russell Royer, Walter Harner, and Clarence Shaw. The Agricultural Advisors were Chairman John Bixler, Frank Bushey, Jonathan Dorsey, George Tracy, and Lloyd Wilhide.

The 1961 Carroll County Master Plan was the inspiration of Mr. Grier who began his tenure with county government in 1959. He was the county's first planning director. He later served as the county administrator. Mr. Grier retired in 1983 after almost 25 years of public service.

Before Mr. Grier, a Harford County native, came to Carroll County, he was working as the Harford County planning director. However, he is another of the many examples of leadership attracted to Carroll County as a result of McDaniel College.

Carroll County was not new to Mr. Grier when accepted the commissioners’ offer of employment. He had attended, then – Western Maryland College, for three years, before he served our country in World War II.

The 1961 plan was only 54 pages, but it was an innovative approach to planning in the state in the early 1960s and many folks credit our “Master Plan” approach as the model for the Maryland Planning Act of 1992.

Once again, yesteryear’s trauma is today’s routine. .The concept of doing a master plan for the county was extraordinarily controversial in 1961. Now, state law mandates that local governments develop and update a master plan every six years.

When it comes to planning, to give folks, who have moved to Carroll County in recent years, some perspective when they complain to my generation about congestion and a loss of quality of life in Carroll County - - when folks from my generation joke that when we grew up in Carroll County, there were more cows than people, we aren’t kidding.

In November 1961, there were 48,274 head of cattle, plus 19,193 milk cows, 21,222 hogs, 333,546 chickens, 1,762 sheep and 1,045 horses. The population of the county in 1961 was 52,785.

In 1961, Carroll County was ranked number one or two in the state for land in farms; total number of cattle, hogs, and chickens; production of wheat, barley, hay, and sweet corn; and total number of tractors, grain combines and corn pickers. 77.5 percent of Carroll County was farmland.

Page 42 of the 1961 report contains a series of recommendations that are amazingly just as relevant today. In a future column we will review those recommendations and compare them to the current goals of the Pathways’ plan.

Meanwhile, we no longer have more cows that people in Carroll County. The need for careful land use planning is more important than ever.

Growth and development are some of the most difficult and challenging issues of our time. If you care about our county’s future, make time to visit the “Pathways” website at www.carrollpathways.org. Please get involved and be part of the solution.
