Sandy – The Historic Unwelcome Guest
Sandy – The Historic Unwelcome Guest
October 31, 2012 Kevin E. Dayhoff http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5433
The last thing we expected, in a year full of the
unexpected, was a late tropical storm, with a friendly moniker like Hurricane
Sandy, making an unwanted appearance on our calendar.
For too many, it was an uninvited guest in our living room.
For others, it came and went, leaving us in the dark, with fewer trees, and in
return, left behind plenty of water – as in water, water everywhere.
You know, in Maryland, once the trees have begun to show-off
their fall season colorful display, the days have started to get shorter, and
the temperature leaves a nip in the air, one begins to think snow, ice, and
winter – but not hurricanes.
We often associate hurricane season with unpleasant weather
events that ruin the best of plans during the summer and fall months of June
through November. Those of us who enjoy visiting the south during the summer
have learned, in some instances the hard way, to keep an eye on the weather.
Nothing can ruin a rare vacation – or even a writing assignment – worse than
coordinating your schedule with the random vagaries of a hurricane.
We usually endure the wrath of hurricanes and tropical
storms during the months of July and September. Once Labor Day comes and goes,
we usually think that we’re in the clear; well, except for “nor’easters,”
storms that resemble ‘winter-hurricanes,’ that form in the southeast and travel
north.
The storm quickly caught the eye of many seasoned hurricane
scientists who dubbed it Frankenstorm… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5433

Republican legislators angry at failure to release gambling data
Republican legislators angry at failure to release gambling data
*****
October 29, 2012 at 7:26 am
House Minority Leader Tony O’Donnell speaks during special session.
By Len Lazarick
Republican legislators are riled up that data they asked for months ago on the proposed expansion of gambling has still not been handed over to them by the Department of Legislative Services.
Since June, Del. Susan Krebs and House Minority Leader Tony O’Donnell have asked for all the information supplied by PricewaterhouseCoopers that was used by legislative analysts to recommend a sixth casino in Prince George’s County.
But all the GOP leaders have gotten so far is a copy of a $61,730 bill from Pricewaterhouse showing charges of $448 an hour to $793 an hour, and some correspondence explaining the working relationship between the consultants and the Legislative Services staff. Other documents and emails are being reviewed by Assistant Attorney General Bonnie Kirkland, who said she could release some of the documents “soon.”
“I’ve never gotten a formal response from any of the formal inquiries that I’ve made,” O’Donnell said. “They just ignore you.” O’Donnell wrote to House of Delegates Speaker Michael Busch on Aug. 13 and again on Oct. 17, asking for the material.
Consultant’s data called proprietary … http://marylandreporter.com/2012/10/29/republican-legislators-angry-at-failure-to-release-gambling-data/

English as the official language proposed in Carroll County MD
“English Only” Up in Carroll County by Kevin E. Dayhoff October
24, 2012
In Carroll County, a hearing is scheduled in New Windsor on
October 30 to gather public input on a proposed ordinance, similar to the one
passed by Frederick County officials in February to designate English as the
official language of the county.
In Frederick County, the proposal passed by a vote of 4-1
and, according to the Associated Press, “requires official actions of Frederick
County to be taken only in English.”
Of course, nevermind that federal and state laws mandate
that various government agencies offer assistance to non-English speakers.
If a predominant number of the members of the Frederick and
Carroll County Boards of Commissioners were from the Democrat Party,
Republicans would be screaming bloody-murder about such legislation being a waste
of taxpayers’ time and money… Oh, well, nevermind, moving right along here…
Although the idea for such an ordinance in Carroll County
has been discussed since last winter, or earlier, the proposal was introduced
by the Board of Commissioners September 27.
The entire kerfuffle over “English only” piqued my curiosity
since our area of the state has only spoken English for approximately 25
percent of our history… In our modern history, anecdotal accounts indicate that
German was the predominant language in Carroll up to around the time of the
Civil War, especially in the northern and western portions of the county.
My thoughts were immediately channeled into a column I wrote
October 20 in The Baltimore Sun, “Strictly speaking, Carroll's predominant language
was once German.”
“In October 1833, in the area we now know as Carroll County,
a vote was taken as to whether or not we should form a new county in Maryland
from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties.”
Much of the opposition to forming a new county came from the
predominant German population in Taneytown, Manchester and Hampstead. “Some of
those folks were not really sure they wanted to form a new county – especially
with a minority that spoke English and owned slaves, and well, perhaps were not
as well educated or cultured as the German population.
“There was a great deal of concern that the English speakers
would never learn German – and thus would exploit the generosity of the German
majority. Paying extra taxes to support the English speakers was also of great
concern…
Ultimately, the October 1833 referendum was defeated.” … http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5414

Pen and ink artist Stan Gilmore to exhibit at Off Track Art
Please join us at Off Track Art on November 2, 2012 at 5:30
in the evening for a reception for our next guest artist, Stanley F. Gilmore,
Jr.
Mr. Gilmore specializes in pen and ink drawings of various
buildings and structures found in and around Carroll County. He enjoys this
medium as it suits the character and structure of many historic buildings.
The drawings are all limited and numbered edition prints
with each subject not just rendered in ink, but many are hand colored with
watercolors as well. A few different subjects other than Carroll County scenes
will be on exhibit and for sale as well.
In addition, Mr. Gilmore has also illustrated two children’s
books for Old Line Publishing, found at Old Line Publishing.com, Amazon.com,
and Barnes & Noble.com.
One book is “The Little Match Girl,” by Hans Christian
Anderson, and the other is “The Birth of Christ,” as found in the gospel of
Luke. These two books will be available for purchase and signing at the opening
of his art show on November 2, 2012.
Mr. Gilmore is now a retired art teacher who taught
elementary, middle school, and high school art for 38 years in various schools
in the county.
He is presently teaching art at the Carroll Lutheran School
K - 8, one day a week, and varied drawing classes in the evenings at the
Carroll Community College in their Continuing Education Program.
He is a graduate of The Maryland Institute College of Art
with a BFA in Art Education, 1970, and Towson University with a MS degree in
Instructional Technology, 2000.
“Off Track Art” is an artists’ collective and gallery
located in the historic Liberty Building at 11 Liberty Street – next to the
railroad tracks, off of the Sentinel parking lot at the corner of West Main St
and MD 27-Liberty St - in downtown Westminster, Maryland.
For almost 4-years, the ten partners in the coop have been
dedicated to advancing the arts in Westminster as well as the careers, ideas,
and artistic visions of its members.
The coop partners include, Kevin Dayhoff, Gail Elwell, Linda
Van Hart, Judy Goodyear, Charlotte Laslo, Amanda Beck Mauck, Joyce Schaum,
Carolyn Seabolt, Robert Waddell, and Gordon Wickes.
After discussions and organizational meetings in December
2008, Off Track opened its doors in January 2009 and had its grand opening on Feb. 13th,
2009.
Off Track Art’s hours are: Wednesday through Friday, 12 – 6
p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m to 5 p.m.
Our opening reception for Mr. Gilmore is scheduled for November 2, 2012, 5:30 to 7:30 pm. For more information go to: www.offtrackart.com

In October 1833, in the area we now know as Carroll County,
a vote was taken as to whether or not we should form a new county in Maryland
from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties.
A bill authorizing the vote passed the General Assembly on
March 2, 1833, according to "Carroll County Maryland, A History
1837-1976," by Nancy Warner, and "Advocates of the new county sprang
into action" to help promote the vote.
They formed committees to write pamphlets containing
arguments advocating a vote in favor of a new county. Several of my ancestors,
the Warfields were members of this committee.
Some of the pamphlets were even printed in English — a
special consideration, since the predominant language in Carroll County at the
time was German.
Anecdotal accounts indicate that German was the predominant
language in Carroll up to around the time of the Civil War, especially in the
northern and western portions of the county… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1021-20121020,0,7714126.story

It got national attention. …
Most young conservatives do not give a rat’s behind about
the “English only” or the gay marriage thing. Those who were born between 1981
and 1999, the
Millennials, [http://www.reporternews.com/news/2012/oct/14/dale-mcfeatters-millennials-the-cheapest/?partner=RSS]
are now living at home with their parents after being away for years at college.
They are facing unsustainably high education debt, with the
economy in turmoil, high unemployment, a dismal economic future and diminished
prospects for the American dream of owning a home. The Millennials are
collectively and totally bewildered by the prurient preoccupation of older
Republicans in who people sleep with and what language they speak… in the face
of an economic Armageddon…
Thanks again for reading the column and Explore Carroll.
As always, your thoughtful consideration is appreciated
regardless of the outcome on any particular issue. Whether we agree or

dialogue.

Adrian Barrera leads a crew of migrant farm workers from
Mexico who pick apples at Baugher Farms. The migrants work on the farm for 8
months out of the year, then move on to work somewhere else or return to their
native country until the next growing season. (Barbara Haddock Taylor, The
Baltimore Sun / October 6, 2012)
Amid the quaint brick storefronts of Westminster's Main
Street, Lily's Mexican Market sells Virgin of Guadalupe statues, sacks of dried
beans and paddle-shaped cactus leaves. A mile away, the aisles of Las Palmeras
grocery store are stocked with Salvadoran cheeses and pastries. A nearby
Catholic church draws more than 200 people to a Spanish Mass each Sunday.
Mexican and Central American immigrants have flocked to
Carroll County over the past decade, drawn by pastures and orchards that remind
them of the rural villages in which they were raised. Some followed family
members here; others sought to live among those who share their traditional
values. Many say they felt welcome here, at least until a commissioner began a
push to make English the county's official language… http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/bs-md-ca-latinos-in-carroll-20121006,0,4715149,full.story
