Memorial service at McDaniel recalls Case as passionate educator, adventurer

Former McDaniel provost climbed in Nepal, ran in Alaska

By Kevin Dayhoff, September 8, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-county/towson/ph-ce-case-obit-0909-20120908,0,3359179.story

More than 500 people took time from their Labor Day weekend to fill Big Baker Chapel at McDaniel College on Sept. 1, paying respects at a memorial service for the late Dr. Sam Case.

Case, 70, a longtime Westminster resident, died Aug. 22 at Carroll Hospice Center's Dove House in Westminster, from complications from leukemia

He was a respected and admired professor and coach, who taught human physiology and exercise science courses for nearly four decades at McDaniel College.

Before Case retired from McDaniel in 2004, he served as the school's provost for four years.

Case retired shortly after he was diagnosed with leukemia, a disease he faced with determination — and by going mountain climbing in Nepal.

Classmates, fellow professors, students, wrestlers, football players and distance runners attended the service. After a welcome by Case's son-in-law, James Ellison, colleagues including Dr. Alex Ober, Gary Scholl, Dr. Kathy Mangan, Dr. Sherri Lind Hughes and former McDaniel College President Joan Develin Coley offered tributes to Case.

Case's daughter, Lauren Case, said her dad had cautioned her, "I don't want people sitting around so keep it short."

The service only lasted 60 minutes - or enough time to have run six-miles… http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-county/towson/ph-ce-case-obit-0909-20120908,0,3359179.story

Off Track Art is celebrating the art of Jerry DeWitt for its first opening of the fall season on Friday, Sept. 7^th, 2012 from 5:30--7:30, to show his beautiful watercolors from a variety of locales including Carroll County.

Mr. DeWitt, a Smallwood, Carroll County Maryland artist, has just returned from Montana and Michigan. Earlier in the year, this past March, Mr. DeWitt was the featured artist in the Babylon Great Hall at Carroll Community College. [http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/2012/03/jerry-dewitt-discusses-his-farm.html] The highly successful show was well-received and the opening was packed. It has been reported that Mr. DeWitt sold a large number of painting at the Carroll Community College show…

“Jerry DeWitt was born in Michigan in 1933 and has been painting, primarily watercolors, since his teenage years,” according to information provided by the artist…

“Over 300 paintings hang in homes and businesses from Alaska to Florida. His work has been shown in galleries in Washington, DC; Montana; and Maryland. Mr. DeWitt’s Montana paintings were featured in American Artist magazine.

“Mr. DeWitt enjoys traveling, and has series of paintings from Maine and from Frederick and Carroll Counties. His subjects are often old farm buildings or homes, as he strives to capture and retain the spirit of American places of the heart.

“Viewers may be drawn to tranquil scenes and transported to a quieter, more peaceful time. He has a special affinity for birds and has painted many species. Jerry has framed many of his paintings in old barn wood, sometimes from the very site portrayed.

“Most notable of these paintings is his award-winning portrait of the Wye Oak, framed in the wood from that famous tree.

According to an article about Mr. DeWitt’s work by critically acclaimed Carroll County artist, photographer, and writer, Phil Grout, “When Jerry DeWitt paints a barn, there's a bit of the gentle clanging of cowbells mixing in with the watercolors. [http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/2012/03/smallwood-artist-jerry-dewitt-draws.html]

“That sound echoes back to his grandfather's Depression-era farm at the end of a lane in Bedford County, Pa. He was just 2 years old when his father left home for good and the youngster was uprooted from Lansing, Mich., to live with his grandparents.

“And in between trips to the pasture to the hand-dug well for another bucket of water, or out to the shed for an arm load of firewood, the sights and sounds and smells of farm life wrapped themselves around Jerry's memory, eventually finding their way to paint and paper more than 30 years later…

After Mr. DeWitt served in the Navy during the Korean War, “became a house carpenter building houses in Maryland and Florida.

“Years later, with his wife, Kris, and four children, Jerry answered his calling — back on the farm, with paints and brushes instead of water bucket and firewood. The family went to Florida for a visit to his wife's parents. Jerry stayed behind in Hagerstown.

“He had a week all to himself. So he went to a five and 10 store in town and bought a set of watercolors and some brushes and then headed out to a barn he'd spotted many times along Interstate-70 on his way to a house construction site.

“DeWitt was 37 when he sat out there on the east side of Cosen's Barn with his new set of paints.

“‘That was it. Time disappeared,’ he says. ‘Something was opening up inside of me, and I could hear those cowbells. I could smell my grandfather's barn.’”

For more information and photographs of Mr. DeWitt and his work, see Phil Grout’s article, “Smallwood artist Jerry DeWitt draws creative inspiration from his farm past,” in the Baltimore Sun on March 17, 2012, about Mr. DeWitt’s work and his well-received and highly successful show at Carroll Community College.

Runners' top 12 trails

Do you feel the nip in the air?

Runners do. For them, the advent of fall means more than changing leaves and back to school. Cooler weather and coming races (the Baltimore Running Festival is October 13) make autumn the ideal time to run in the great outdoors.

Baltimore is full of places to run, from stately neighborhoods to waterside paths. But for some runners, nothing beats the off-road experience.

"Even if you start off easy, it's fun to explore," says Chris Cucuzella, a member of the Baltimore Road Runners Club, a trail running group.

Here, 12 great trails endorsed by the enthusiastic members of local running clubs… http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/bs-hs-running-trails-20120829,0,2117907.story

Much has changed in Westminster and Carroll County since Grover Kinzy, the first Maryland Cooperative Extension agent, came to town on Nov. 10, 1916 — in part, as a response to the economic chaos in the agriculture community resulting from the market repercussions of World War I.

Kinzy's office was in the Times Building, across the street from the old Westminster fire hall on Main Street in Westminster. One of the first things Kinzy did was help start local 4-H clubs.

According to the definitive history book on agriculture in Carroll County — "Legacy of the Land" by Carol Lee — it wasn't an easy task for Kinzy… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0902-20120901,0,1065554.story

Lance Armstrong and King Sisyphus by Kevin E. Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/cctpxp2

August 29, 2012

Last Thursday, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency decided, without a single credible shred of evidence, that since professional cyclist Lance Armstrong did not prove himself to be innocent, he is guilty and could not have been successful in his storied career without the use of drugs.

Before Mr. Armstrong retired from professional cycling in February 2010, he had passed approximately 500 drug tests in his long, celebrated, and distinguished athletic career. It is believed that there has never-ever been a single positive test…

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5314

[…]

“There’s something very much of the feel of a witch hunt to this. If Armstrong was doping, then by God take away his awards and give him a medal for being the smartest damn athlete on the planet.”

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5314

… we live in an era where the purpose of government is to criminalize the successful. Whether you are successful in business, art, professional sports – or whatever, the basic tenant of government is that you simply must be guilty of something. The purpose of bureaucracy is to prove it.

Whether you are guilty or not is unimportant. For the government, what is critical is that you be accused. That’s all that is necessary. The media will take care of the rest – by suggestion, innuendo, and nefarious association.

Your job is to endeavor to prove that you are innocent. It is a task that makes the myth of Sisyphus look easy.

You remember Sisyphus. There are many interpretations and versions of the story – including my favorite, “The Myth of Sisyphus” by Albert Camus… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5314

The Annual Report of Maryland’s Rural Development Council for FY 2000

The FORVM's Year in Review for FY 2000

At the start of this new century, the Maryland economy, like the national economy, is running full throttle. Maryland's agriculture industry has produced a bumper crop of corn and soybeans, and the state's historically downtrodden urban and rural regions are experiencing a positive up-tick in the traditional indicators of success. Unemployment rates are down. Consumer confidence is up.

Still, several counties in Western Maryland and on the Eastern Shore have unemployment rates significantly above the statewide average. Poor access to quality health care, the continuing loss of viable farm and forestland, a crumbling infrastructure, and the low availability of suitable housing and reliable transportation remain serious challenges for Marylanders to solve.

The FORVM for Rural Maryland identifies important issues facing rural communities and brings together diverse groups of people and policy-makers to work toward improving the quality of life in Rural Maryland. At the close of Fiscal Year 2000, thanks to the efforts of many of our partners, the FORVM is better positioned then ever to help rural communities achieve a better tomorrow. Here are some highlights of the year just concluded.

Eastern Shore Economic Development

At the request of The Eastern Shore General Assembly Delegation, Governor Parris Glendening appointed the Eastern Shore Economic Development Task Force late last year. More than 100 people from across the Eastern Shore met over several months to study and craft short- and long-term solutions to many challenging economic problems.

Eight subcommittees of the task force, composed of members from each of the nine Eastern Shore counties, submitted individual and regional issues, concerns, and recommendations which the steering committee outlined by economic area. The task force's final report forms the basis of a comprehensive, long-range regional economic development strategy, both for individual counties and the Eastern Shore as a whole.

To preserve the integrity of the Eastern Shore, the Task Force agreed that the following six recommendations require immediate attention.

1) Create water and wastewater treatment systems as identified in individual county master plans to handle current and future needs.

2) Establish funding mechanisms, organize producer cooperatives, and promote production and marketing alternatives to enhance the sustainability of the agriculture and seafood industries. Use the statewide study currently underway to examine the impact of agriculture and poultry on Eastern Shore economy

3) Implement a high-speed fiber-optic network on the Eastern Shore to meet current and future needs.

4) Promote the development of an integrated regional public transportation system for the entire Eastern Shore and Delmarva area that includes securing long-term funding (at least five years) from the Maryland Mass Transit Administration and the Federal government.

5) Support local Workforce Investment Boards efforts to aid in motivating and training residents seeking to participate in the labor force.

6) Create two permanent regional planning organizations, charged with planning for and taking the required steps in achieving the desired business, economic, and community outcomes for the regions, including the timely implementation of the recommendations of the Eastern Shore Economic Development Task Force.

The Task Force and the Eastern Shore Delegation has asked the FORVM, in the role of a neutral facilitator, to help implement this last recommendation by working collaboratively with local officials to establish these regional councils. The FORVM will be working diligently toward that end in coming months.

Eagle Archive: A New Windsor summer made glorious by William Shakespeare

By Kevin Dayhoff, August 26, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0819-20120822,0,3117427.story

On the morning of Aug. 22, in 1485, a defining moment in English history took place with the death of Richard III in the Battle of Bosworth Field.

This of course, leads us directly to the summer of 1938 at Blue Ridge College in New Windsor.

Well, sorta-kinda.

I'll explain … after I wax poetic with William Shakespeare: "Now is the winter of our discontent, Made glorious summer by this son of York…"

Many will recognize that these lines appear in Shakespeare's "Richard III" — the last play of a study in history of the Wars of Roses by Shakespeare, which includes, "Henry VI, parts 1, 2 and 3," "Richard II" and "Henry V." Of all of Shakespeare's work, "Richard III" remains my favorite (followed by, on any given day, "As You Like It").

Throughout the history of our own beloved realm — Carroll County — folks have enjoyed days "made glorious summer by" arts and cultural programs such as church choirs, theater groups and band concerts.

Years ago, outdoor theater also made glorious summer, according to local historian, and now State Senator, Joe Getty, in a piece he wrote for the Historical Society of Carroll County.

Getty wrote that in 1938… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0819-20120822,0,3117427.story

Sun reporter barred from City Hall while seeking CitiStat reports

Mayor's office has provided no records for city's accountability office

By Scott Calvert 1:46 p.m. EDT, August 21, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/sun-investigates/bal-sun-reporter-barred-from-city-hall-while-seeking-citistat-reports-20120821,0,4598268.story

UPDATE: On Thursday Rawlings-Blake spokesman Ryan O'Doherty issued this statement: "We are communicating with the Baltimore Sun and other media outlets to provide a detailed briefing in the near future on the CitiStat program and the kinds of datasets that are available and we hope it is helpful and illuminating to the Sun's readership. In the meantime, we always encourage the public to visit our OpenBaltimore website which includes much of the same data and more public information than most local governments provide. Thanks."

Two years ago, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake celebrated the 10th anniversary of CitiStat, the city office that uses data-tracking to hold agency heads accountable for the way they spend taxpayer money and carry out their public duties.

“One of Baltimore’s hottest tourist spots” is how she described CitiStat’s City Hall outpost in a Baltimore Sun op-ed article co-written with Gov. Martin O’Malley, who created the office as mayor in 2000.

“During the last 10 years,” they wrote, “a small government office there has attracted thousands of elected officials, foreign dignitaries and good government aficionados from all over the country and the world. To them, Baltimore is associated with one word: CitiStat.”

Yet when I tried to visit CitiStat’s office Monday to review its reports, I was barred from even entering City Hall.

The reason given by a police officer who provides security was that I had no appointment. The mayor’s spokesman said via email that I should have known better than to try to “barge into internal meeting spaces and offices." ... http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/sun-investigates/bal-sun-reporter-barred-from-city-hall-while-seeking-citistat-reports-20120821,0,4598268.story
