Miss Carroll County Scholarship Competition

Miss Carroll County Scholarship Competition, Sept 24, 2022 at the Westminster High School at 5p.m

Kevin Dayhoff: It’s fall and time for community events in Westminster, Carroll County Sep 23, 2022 at 9:00 am

Let’s look at three of the events on the calendar for fall. The 43rd annual Westminster Fallfest will be held from Sept. 22-25 at the Westminster playground at 11 Longwell Ave. On Sept. 24, the Miss Carroll County Scholarship Competition will take place at Westminster High School. The start of October will be celebrated at Oktoberfest at the Carroll County Agricultural Center on Oct. 1 and 2.

The Miss Carroll County Scholarship Competition is open to young women ages 13 through 25 who currently reside, study, or work full time in the state of Maryland. This year the competition will take place Sept. 24 at Westminster High School. The Miss Carroll County Scholarship Competition is the local preliminary competition to Miss Maryland and Miss America. Founded in 1921, Miss America has become the top scholarship provider for women in the United States. The Miss America Organization, along with state and local organizations make available millions in cash and tuition assistance each year.

Miss Carroll County Scholarship Competition, Sept 24:

According to an article on the Carroll County Tourism website: Doors will open to the theatre at the Westminster High School at 5p.m. Sept. 24 for the Miss Carroll County Scholarship Competition. “Beforehand, there will be a ‘Forever Miss Maryland/Miss Carroll County Museum,’ featuring memorabilia from former Miss Marylands from 4:30 to 5 p.m.”

The competition takes place at Westminster High School, 1225 Washington Road, Westminster. All tickets will be available for purchase at the door. Admission for adults is $20 and for children $10. All ticket sale proceeds go toward the Miss Carroll County Scholarship Fund.

Kevin Dayhoff: In July 1845 Westminster held a funeral for President Jackson

Kevin Dayhoff: In July 1845 Westminster held a funeral for President Jackson Jul 24, 2022

On July 19, 1845, Westminster paused with great fanfare to mourn the death of President Andrew Jackson, who served in office from 1829 to 1837.

For a historian, it is always fascinating to research and write about Jackson. His legacy is so complicated. Historians either love him or hate him. There seems to be no middle ground. According to my research at the State Library of North Carolina, conducted when I participated in the civil rights movement in the early 1970s, Jackson “was born … near the border between North and South Carolina on March 15, 1767. [He] was the third child and third son of Scots-Irish parents. His father, also named Andrew, died as the result of a logging accident just a few weeks before the future president was born.

Xfinity office in Owings Mills

Sunday, July 17, 2022: My wife and I had a great experience at the Xfinity office in Owings Mills. We traveled to the Comcast Xfinity office in Owings Mills - 10132 Reisterstown Rd #20, Owings Mills, MD 21117 on Sunday, July 16, 2022. The Xfinity store had really convenient office hours on a Sunday, from 12:00 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Our TV Box got fried when we lost power at the house during a severe thunderstorm that passed through the area on Tuesday, July 12, 2022. We went to the Xfinity office in Owings Mills to swap the box out for a new one. We were in and out of the store in minutes. The store is very stylish, spacious, open, clean, well-lit, and upscale appointed.

A really friendly hostess greeted us as we entered the store. The store was not crowded, but there were a number of customers there. Yet we were seen by a customer service person very quickly. Our customer service person’s name is Dante White. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. He did not rush us. He acted as if he had all the time on the world to chat with us, yet in minutes he handed us a red bag with an upgraded TV Box. He walked us through the installation and activation process, and we were on our way quickly. It was a great experience.

We had located the store on the internet. It had a phone number listed with the information on the store - (800) 266-2278. Do not waste your time calling that number. It goes to a central call center, and it is not efficient use of your time.

Several years ago, we were really sad when the Comcast store in Westminster closed. The folks in the Westminster store were very friendly and helpful. The store was located in a central location in the county and served customers in Carroll County really well. Our customer service representative reported that he sees lots of folks from Westminster.

The store in Owings Mills is only about 20-minutes from Westminster in a large shopping complex located next to Owings Mills Boulevard where Maryland Cup was once located. The drive was easy and effortless. The store is located very near – next to Wegman’s – and a Cava, where we picked up our dinner after we visited the Xfinity store.

After years of having Comcast internet and TV service, I hope to never-ever have to call the Xfinity customer service line again – after too many horrible user experiences. However, if I ever have a need for customer service from Xfinity in the future, I will look forward to visiting the Owings Mills store. Give it try – you will not regret it.

Joshua Christopher Farkas Obituary November 23, 1979 ~ July 7, 2022 (age 42)

Myers-Durboraw Funeral Home https://www.myersdurborawfh.com/obituary/Joshua-Farkas

Joshua C. Farkas, 42, of Westminster, died unexpectedly on Thursday, July 7, 2022. Born November 23, 1979, he was the son of Thomas Paul and Gwendolyn Ann Farkas.

He was the loving husband of Amy B. Farkas, his wife of 15 years. He was the grandson of William Farkas; son-in-law of Darlene Spencer and John Braun, Jr; the brother of Jennifer Little and husband Doug, Kathryn Mahjoubian and husband Rob; brother-in-law to Angel Pheabus and husband Tim, Laura Braun, and John Braun, III and wife Angie; an uncle to Justin Pheabus, Marissa Resto-Braun, John Braun IV, Annabel Little, Kahlan Braun, Calum Little, Henry Mahjoubian, and William Mahjoubian.

Where do you start with such a special soul? After your first meeting with Josh, your takeaway would be how funny he is. He would keep you laughing with his quick wit and quips. Then when you got to know him better, you couldn't help but love him.

His enthusiasm for all his favorite things was contagious - movies (horror was his all-time favorite), comics (especially Neil Gaiman's Sandman), all types of music, Superheroes (but it was really the Supervillains he preferred), Star Wars, Pro Wrestling (he really liked Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega, the Kenny Omega vs. Okada match was one of his favorites) and so many more. He'd capture you and make you into a superfan, too.

Then you'd get to see his tremendous love for his wife, Amy, their 2 dogs, Ripley and Vesper, and their 5 cats, Fred, George, Loki, Gemma, and Harley. Josh loved spending time with them and traveling with Amy. Doing everything he could to support Amy and work toward their goals was very important to him.

He would also treat you to the best damn meal you ever had. His holiday meals, chili, lasagna, pulled pork, and so many others would have you waiting for your next invite.

If you were lucky, you would then get an invite to go to an Orioles baseball game with him. He loved being a season ticket holder and loved sharing that experience with his family and friends. Josh had such a giving heart. There are so many lives he touched, and he will live forever through us and our memories.

The family will receive friends from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, July 14, 2022, at MYERS-DURBORAW FUNERAL HOME, P.A., 91 Willis Street, Westminster, MD 21157.

A funeral service will begin at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 15, 2022, with a visitation beginning at 10 a.m. at the funeral home. Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for memorial contributions in Josh’s name to Humane Society of Carroll County at https://hscarroll.org/donate/ .

Lyrics

Do you hear me, I'm talking to you

Across the water across the deep blue ocean

Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy, I hear you in my dreams

I feel your whisper across the sea

I keep you with me in my heart

You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes

Waiting for a love like this

Every time we say goodbye

I wish we had one more kiss

I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea

To an island where we'll meet

You'll hear the music fill the air

I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through the trees

Move so pretty you're all I see

As the world keeps spinning round

You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Kevin Dayhoff: A look back at the July 1938 Smith & Reifsnider fire

Jul 10, 2022 at 5:00 am https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/carroll/lifestyles/cc-lt-dayhoff-071022-20220710-zshkitw3xrdghbqn5xncyuyxry-story.html

Over 80 years ago, Carroll County was still reeling from the aftermath of fireworks of an unwelcome variety – the July 3, 1938 Smith & Reifsnider fire on John Street, one of the largest fires in the county’s history.

Ironically, today, the property where the fire occurred has been occupied by the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department since Oct. 24, 1998.

VINTAGE 1958 KRAFT VELVEETA CHEESE COMMERCIAL

Yup, Velveeta, 104-years later, is still available

Yup, Velveeta is a food product from our childhood that is still manufactured. Velveeta, a brand name for a processed cheese product was first made by Emil Frey of the "Monroe Cheese Company" in Monroe, New York. According to a January 15, 2014 article in Smithsonian Magazine written by Natasha Geiling, found here, https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/there-is-no-shortage-history-when-it-comes-velveeta-180949312/?no-ist; Frey was “a Swiss cheesemaker who moved from Switzerland to upstate New York, where he worked in cheese factories in the late 1880s….”

Frey “learned that by adding a by-product of cheesemaking called whey, which is the liquid released from curds during the cheesemaking process, to the leftover Swiss bits, he could create a very cohesive end-product. Frey named the product Velveeta, and in 1923, the Velveeta Cheese Company became its own corporation. It was successful for a while as its own company (which was based out of Monroe, NY), but in 1927, it was sold to Kraft Foods…

“In 1931, the American Medical Association gave Velveeta its stamp of approval, citing that the product had all the necessary nutritional value to build ‘firm flesh.’

“Velveeta's popularity increased throughout the '30s, '40s and into the '50s--studies of consumer preference done in the 1930s found that two-thirds of Americans preferred processed cheese to natural cheese…”
