Name on elementary school is also Carroll's connection to 1927 flood By Kevin E. Dayhoff

Name on elementary school is also Carroll's connection to 1927 flood

 The humanitarian disaster that followed the 1927 Great Mississippi Flood propelled Robert Russa Moton, the president of a small college, into the national spotlight. This same prominent political leader also helped Franklin Roosevelt's Democratic Party win the 1932 presidential election.

Despite a dire weather forecast earlier this month, we dodged a weather bullet when Hurricane Joaquin stayed out to sea.

[…]

In a rehearsal for the upcoming dramas that will take place in Maryland this winter when snow is predicted; events were cancelled, emergencies declared, mothers gathered their children, and folks took to the streets to forage for materials to make bad weather omelets – milk, bread, eggs, extra batteries and toilet paper.

In the end, the weather did turn ugly, but not from the hurricane or a visit from Hell’s Nebulae, but rather from a strong nor'easter that pelted much of Maryland with high winds, heavy rains and the threat of flooding.

As winter approaches Nor'easter often cause many to think of heavy snowstorms. But during the height of the media frenzy over Joaquin, several media outlets raised the memories of when the August 1933 storm cut the inlet just below Ocean City. Sun writer, Chris Guy explained it well in an August 23, 2003 account, “On the morning of Aug. 23, Ocean City residents awoke to discover that the record tide and rainfall that flooded coastal bays had combined with the storm's winds to cut a 50-foot gash through the island's lowest point, severing the resort from Assateague Island…”

Shortly after we dodged the Zombie apocalypse weather event, one reader in the grocery store checkout line still had that wide-eyed look like she was about to be abducted by space aliens as she asked if Carroll County has ever – could ever, have flooding like what South Carolina recently experienced. “That couldn’t possible ever happen here could it,” she asked breathlessly.

She was referring to the epic flooding that has just taken place in South Carolina that weather professionals and state Gov. Nikki Haley, are calling a ‘1,000-year flood’ terminology.

I answered calmly, “What do Carroll County, Led Zeppelin, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and one of the worst natural disasters in American history all have in common? In the end, we are all going to Chicago… ‘

[…]

South Carolina was not so lucky. The national news media has carried a number of stories about flooding there that was so bad that Gov. Nikki Haley said, "We are at a 1,000-year level of rain," according to CNN.

While perhaps not to those historic levels, throughout its history Carroll County has had its fair share of bad floods…

[…]

On Monday, July 30, 1923, a flood "swept down the valleys, flooding hundreds of homes … and causing great property damage," in southern Carroll Co. according to an Aug. 3, 1923 article in the Democratic Advocate newspaper.

Research for the Historical Society of Carroll Co. by historian Mary Ann Ashcraft indicates that another flood on July 24, 1868, destroyed much of Sykesville.

The devastating historic floods that followed Hurricane Agnes beginning on June 21, 1972 and Hurricane Eloise on Sept. 26, 1975 destroyed bridges, roads and homes through Carroll Co.

 Designating a day to celebrate the nation's military power a source of conflict
However, it is another flood; one that took place in 1927, which had a profound socio-political effect on American history and has a Carroll connection, though it did not even take place in Carroll County…

Although the Maryland gubernatorial primary is over a year away, last Monday morning the 2014 contest began to take shape in earnest with Harford County Executive David Craig announcing his candidacy for the Maryland State House.

Outside of Saint Patrick's Hall in Havre de Grace, dark clouds formed and it threatened to rain. Inside, there was no doubt that Mr. Craig’s formal announcement has threatened to shake up the contest for governor by launching what many political insiders consider to be a serious and credible Republican bid to regain the governor’s office after eight-years of liberal governance by Democrat Governor Martin O’Malley.

I felt badly that I was not able to make my way to Harford County last Monday. Mr. Craig went out of his way to visit Carroll County on several occasions to lend me a hand when I was an elected official. Over the years Mr. Craig has been a perfect host for a number of my sojourns to Harford County.

When I served for many years on the Maryland Municipal League board of directors, then-Havre de Grace Mayor Craig, along with many others such as then-Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley and then Ocean City Mayor Jim Mathias were a constant source of help with the many difficult challenges facing municipalities throughout the state.

However, for better or worse, Maryland political campaigns are more often than not insufferably long and I am only sure that I will be able to see my old friend Mr. Craig on several occasions before the voters have their say on the day of the Maryland primary election on June 24, 2014. (The general election next is scheduled for November 4, 2014.)

Mr. Craig’s candidacy raises many questions for political junkies…. http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5816

 The next year ought to have plenty of fodder for political writers and armchair political pundits.

Mr. Craig’s quest for the governor’s office has been one the worse-kept secrets in Maryland politics for years. Although I never wanted to ask the obvious and put a friend in an awkward position, even I figured it out several years ago and I can sometimes be the most inept and oblivious political junkie in the room.

As recently as January 4, 2012, I wrote in TheTentacle.com, a reference to liberal-governance fatigue… As much I admire my old friend Governor O’Malley’s accomplishments, one may actively debate whether or not he went way too far with Maryland voters with his uber-liberal approach to government and how much will O’Malley-fatigue will plague the uphill candidacy of Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown, D, who was the first to formally announce his candidacy - on May 10.

In that January 4, 2012 column, “Scenarios Abound,” I observed, “The next big political roundelay in Maryland will not take place until 2014 and by then chances are most Marylanders – read Democrats – will have long gotten over any tax increases…

“That is, unless current Harford County Executive and likely 2014 Maryland gubernatorial candidate, David Craig, can remind voters of their pain...”

On September 10, 2011, Richard J. Cross, III, wisely noted, “If history is any guide, 2014 looks like it will be an anti-establishment year. Maryland voters will be restless after eight years of Martin O’Malley, just as they were after eight years of William Donald Schaefer and Parris Glendening.

“Plus, if President Obama is reelected in 2012 and experiencing the traditional mid-term slump that most presidents do, a Republican like Craig could benefit from these anti-incumbent forces.”

Another of the many questions is whether or not the consistent and steady-as-you-go political leadership of Mr. Craig can overcome the two-to-one lead Democrats hold in the voter rolls.

Mr. Craig, an accomplished historian and an academic, is well-known for his measured, thoughtful, and scholarly approach to government. Other than Maryland State Senator Joe Getty, R-Carroll and Baltimore Counties, and Senate President Mike Miller, D-Anne Arundel County; few in Maryland state politics today are as knowledgeable as Mr. Craig about the mysteries of formulating public policy and how government works.

Whether or not Mr. Craig’s comfortable and easily-accessible personality, his decades of qualifications and experience, and his government acumen are enough to overcome the hyper-partisan politics of Maryland will remain to be seen.

Then again, there are always the bizarre byzantine voodoo mysteries of Republican primaries. Specifically there is the not-so-small matter that the hard right wing of the Republican Party hardly ever resists an opportunity to pee on its own leg and tell you that it is raining. Never in my 60-years have I ever seen an organization snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as well as the hard right wing of the Republican Party.

If you will recall; towards the end of the Ellen Sauerbrey (R) campaign for Maryland governor in 1994 - the hard right wing of the Republican Party decided that Ellen Sauerbrey was moderating on some core conservative values. Ultimately this resulted in the hard, uncompromising and inflexible elements of the right wing of the Republican Party electing Governor Parris Glendening (D) for 8 years.

And the uncompromising and inflexible elements of the right wing of the Republican Party worked hard for Governor O’Malley in his gubernatorial contests with former Maryland Governor Robert L. Ehrlich.

Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat - you have to admit that this is quite a paradox. I recall that in one of David Horowitz's books a number of years ago, “The Art of Political War and other Radical Pursuits,” it begins by saying: "Politics is war, but in America the left is doing all the shooting.  Shell-shocked conservatives blame their failures on the media or unscrupulous opponents, but they refuse to name the real culprit – themselves…”

To loosely paraphrase an old partisan aphorism; these days, the only difference between a Republican and a cannibal is that the cannibal only eats its enemies.

. . . . . I’m just saying…

“I´m eighteen And I don´t know what I want”

“I´m eighteen And I don´t know what I want”

“I’m Eighteen,” released by Alice Cooper in November 1970 on the “Love it to Death” album.

January 16, 2009

My niece just turned eighteen years old earlier in the week. Of course, my thoughts turned to when I was that age.

I saw Alice Cooper play “I’m Eighteen” in concert when I was eighteen years old in 1972 on his “Dead Babies” tour. Don’t tell my nieces and nephews.

Or was it the “School’s Out” tour? The mind is the first thing to go… Whatever.

Although I cannot say that I am a big Alice Cooper fan, the song, “I’m Eighteen” is a bit of iconography for the world of the early 1970s… I guess.

In spite of all the press, the 1972 show was just that, a show. Yeah, it was over the top, but he was quite a showman and he managed to pull it off – at least for my sensibilities at the time.

I guess I would possibly cringe to see the show today. Whatever.

It reminds me of the time a friend of mine and I were watching a documentary of “The Doors.” We were both into “The Doors” when we were young.

My friend’s kid was watching it with us and at one point, he turned to us and said, “No wonder your generation is so (messed) up.

Alice Cooper liked to play up the tabloid shock value as a marketing ploy; however, his off-stage persona was that of a really nice guy who was taking advantage of the “shock rock” and “glam rock” phenomena.

Although I have read first person accounts that reflect that the following tour, “Welcome to my nightmare” was over the top and got a little weird.

For the younger readers who are no familiar with “Alice Cooper,” his bio, “Meet Alice Cooper” explains:

“Without Alice Cooper, there might never have been the NY Dolls, KISS, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Motley Crue, Slipknot or Rob Zombie ... maybe not even David Bowie, or at least not Ziggy Stardust. The iconic hard rocker, who literally invented the concept of the rock concert as theater, returns to what he does best on Along Came a Spider (SPV Records), the 25th studio album of a long and illustrious career which began in 1969 with the release of Pretties for You on Frank Zappa's Straight label…”

In a recent published account, I read that “Alice Cooper claims he is addicted to his wife. The 60-year-old rocker - who has just released his latest album ‘Along Came a Spider’ - says he has loves spouse Sheryl Goddard so much that he has never been unfaithful to her.

“Alice said: ‘I’ve been married for 32 years and never cheated on her because I’m addicted to her.’

“The musician, who gave up drink and drugs 26 years ago after a well-documented struggle, also revealed he admires Mary Whitehouse, despite her banning the music video for his hit ‘School’s Out’.

“Alice also revealed he sent Mary - who campaigned for morality and decency on TV – flowers to thank her for her controversial decision…” (Alice Cooper addicted to wife August 7, 2008)

Oh, by the way, Alice Cooper, (Vincent Damon Furnier); was born on February 4 1948.

Yes, dear fellow boomers – he is now 60 years old.
