As they explore the history and culture of ancient Greece through its material remains with Classics professor Tom Falkner, the travelers in the Jan Term study tour “McDaniel in Greece: Myths, Monks, and Monuments” have encountered surprises – moments that have enriched their 18-day sojourn abroad.

Caroline Babylon ’76, one of eight adults and 14 students on the trip, sends back a photo a day. On day three, she shared a story with her photo of a village priest…

Demonstrations in Athens January 15, 2013 By Kevin E. Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/bfr3n6u

Athens, Greece, January 12 – Demonstrators once again took to the streets in central Athens Saturday afternoon, in another of a long series of strikes, demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience that have rocked Greece since a worldwide economic downturn officially got underway in December 2007.

It was four years ago – in 2009 – that Greece kicked-off the year by announcing its budget deficit would be 12.9% of GDP, more than four times the European Union's 3% limit. Greece was first admitted into the EU in 1981, and in 2001 it joined the Eurozone… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5566

Various recent news accounts indicate that unemployment approaches 25 percent in Greece. Pensions have been reduced and salaries slashed anywhere from 30 to 60 percent.

Meanwhile last Saturday began with signs posted in the Metro that read: “Notice to Passengers. On Saturday 12/1/13, stations, Penepistimio, Syntagma, will remain closed from 10:00 for safety reason…”

[…] http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5566

Since 2010, Syntagma Square has served as a barometer for rising civil discontent over Greece’s ever-worsening economic crisis. In the past it has been the most popular locale for mass protests and tent-city like occupations, some of which have turned unexpectedly violent in which police have responded en masse with batons, shields and tear gas...

On Saturday, I witnessed more than 5,000 or 6,000 demonstrators marching past the National Archaeological Museum, in a dense, well-organized and loud processional that chanted a Greek chorus of anti-government slogans in a carefully choreographed cat-and-mouse theatrical routine with a full accompaniment of motorcycle police and a phalanx of paramilitary shock riot-police.

Historical Society of Carroll County birthday celebration slated for this Saturday http://tinyurl.com/am8tz5n

Letters Reveal Divided Shriver Family by Kevin E. Dayhoff January 16, 2013 http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5569 http://tinyurl.com/am8tz5n

This Saturday the Historical Society of Carroll County will give a presentation on the letters and documents which shed additional light on the divided loyalties of the Shriver family of Carroll and Frederick counties during the Civil War.

The presentation is part of a long standing tradition of throwing an annual birthday party for the county every January.

From 1659 to 1837, the eastern half of Carroll County was governed by Baltimore County. From 1695, Prince George’s County governed the western portion of Carroll County until 1748 when Frederick County was formed.

As early as 1785, citizens petitioned Maryland Gov. William Paca to form a separate county from parts of Frederick and Baltimore counties.

Finally, a bill was introduced in 1835 and passed the General Assembly on March 25, 1836, to form Carroll County. This act was confirmed on January 19, 1837. It only took about 50 years, but Carroll Countians had finally changed their government.

On Saturday, according to local historian Catherine Baty, curator of the Historical Society, “Helen MacSherry will discuss, in particular, the Union Mills Homestead Foundation's project to transcribe and publish the documents, letters, and diaries written by the Shriver family during the Civil War.”

The Shriver family originally arrived in Philadelphia in 1721. The first member of the family, Andrew Shriver (1712-1797,) came from the Electorate Palatine in Germany…http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5569

January 12, 2013 Saturday’s Demonstrations in Athens Greece

By Kevin E. Dayhoff in Athens, Greece, January 12, 2013 - - Demonstrators once again took to the streets in central Athens Saturday afternoon, in a long series of strikes, demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience that have rocked Greece since shortly after a world wide economic downturn officially got underway in December 2007....

On Saturday, this writer witnessed more than 5,000 or 6,000 demonstrators marching past the National Archaeological Museum, in a dense, well-organized and loud processional that chanted a Greek chorus of anti-government slogans in a carefully choreographed cat and mouse theatrical routine with a full accompaniment of motorcycle police and a phalanx of paramilitary shock riot-police.

Other news accounts reported the crowds from as many as 15,000 or 10,000 to 3,500 participants. Although there was tension in the air, the demonstration, reportedly organized by SYRIZA in response to the detentions earlier in the week; filed past the National Archaeological Museum peacefully. It is reported to have proceeded from the Propylaea of Athens University and packed Patision Street on its way to the courthouse of Evelpidon.

Taneytown man armed with hammer shot and killed by local police Christmas evening

By Kevin E. Dayhoff, December 26, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-police-shooting-1226-20121226,0,6149880.story

The peace and tranquility of a white Christmas in Carroll County was shattered Tuesday evening as word spread quickly through the community of a deadly shooting in Taneytown involving a police officer.

The news comes at a time when many have grown weary of bad news. Not even the unexpected late snowfall on Christmas Eve could overcome the heavy hearts of many just weeks after the December 14 shooting death of 26 people, most of them children, in an elementary school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.

Then on Christmas Eve, much of the local news media reported that a gunman in upstate New York allegedly set fire to his house and ambushed and killed two volunteer firefighters and wounded two more who were responding to the fire.

Bad news involving firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical personnel always travels quickly in Carroll County that has long been understood as being the home of many of Maryland’s first responders.

Late in the evening on Christmas Day, Greg Shipley, a spokesperson for the Maryland State Police confirmed the incident and released additional details that a Taneytown police officer had shot and killed a man who had threatened the lives of several police officers in the otherwise peaceful northwestern Carroll County community.

Police say that Edward L. Becker, Jr., 26, of the unit-block of Commerce Drive, Taneytown, Md, was pronounced dead at the Carroll Hospital Center, as a result of the incident.

According to Shipley, “A Carroll County man armed with a hammer and acting disorderly was fatally wounded by a Taneytown Police Department officer when he failed to surrender and advanced threateningly at the officer.

The state police say that shortly after 8:30 p.m. on Christmas Day, “the parents of Becker called 911 and reported he had been drinking and was acting disorderly. Becker’s father reported his son was smashing windows out of his truck with a hammer…”

Three Taneytown police department officers responded to the area of the address on Commerce Street, according the police report. At the scene they “saw Becker walking down the street toward them.

“They exited their vehicles and began shouting commands to Becker to drop the hammer and surrender. Becker continued to approach. The officers, who were all in uniform and marked patrol cars, retreated down the street and positioned themselves behind their police cars.

“The investigation indicates the officers continued to shout commands to Becker to drop the hammer and surrender. Becker ignored the commands and continued to approach the officers…

After Becker got to within approximately an arm’s length of an officer and raised the hammer, one of the officers fired his service weapon, striking Becker.

Police at the scene administered first aid and called emergency medical personnel to the scene.

“The officer involved is a four and one-half year veteran of the Taneytown Police Department…,” say police. The Taneytown police officer has been placed on routine administrate leave by Taneytown Police Chief William Tyler, “which is procedure in police-involved shootings.”

Tyler “requested the police-involved shooting be investigated by the Maryland State Police homicide unit and troopers from the Westminster Barrack responded to the scene to conduct the investigation, according to Shipley.

The investigation is continuing. Upon completion, it will be forwarded to the Carroll County State's Attorney's Office for review... Taneytown man armed with hammer shot and killed by local police Christmas evening

NYT Aggressively Pushing Gun Control in Massacre Coverage, Promises More to Come

New York Times' Helene Cooper: Choose Between 2nd Amendment Rights or 'Kids [Being] Safe' at School
New York Times White House reporter Helene Cooper: "And if killing, you know, twenty 5- to 10-year-olds doesn't do it for this country, then than means the other conversation we should be having is just simply saying, 'You know what? The right for older people to bear arms is more important than the right of little kids to be safe when they go to school.'"

NYT Aggressively Pushing Gun Control in Massacre Coverage, Promises More to Come
The Times aggressively promoted Democrats exploiting the massacre to push for gun control legislation. "Democrats seemed to be hoping to seize on the momentum from the shooting, in which 20 first graders were killed, and the resulting outrage and despondency of millions of Americans, to gingerly build a coalition of lawmakers who might be able to create some form of compromise limits on gun sales or types." The Times also ran three editorials pushing gun control on Tuesday, and promised more to come.

NAACP Pardon Wilmington 10

NAACP: Pardon Wilmington 10

http://www.naacp.org/news/entry/pardon-the-wilmington-ten

The NAACP has launched a campaign to pardon the Wilmington Ten. Forty years ago, ten young activists were falsely accused and framed for crimes they did not commit. And though they all went on to become leaders in their community—their names were never cleared. Add your name to this petition asking North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue to pardon the Wilmington Ten.

The Wilmington Ten included Rev. Benjamin Chavis—who later went on to become the leader of the NAACP and eight African-American male high school students, and an older white women activist. They each spent four to six years incarcerated for a crime they did not commit.

The state of North Carolina has let forty years pass without clearing the names of the Wilmington Ten—it is high time for justice to be served. Sign your name to the NAACP petition asking for Governor Perdue to pardon the Wilmington Ten and clear their names once and for all.
