2018 winners of the annual Mike Eaton scholarship announced
2018 winners of the annual Mike
Eaton scholarship announced
The Historical Society of Carroll
County announces the 2018 winners of the annual Mike Eaton scholarship.
June 4,
2018 by Caroline Babylon https://patch.com/maryland/westminster/2018-winners-annual-mike-eaton-scholarship-announced
Since
2011 The Historical Society of Carroll County has been awarding the Mike Eaton
Scholarship. The purpose of this scholarship is to honor the memory of William
Granville “Mike” Eaton, an English teacher at Westminster High School from 1935
to 1971. He also directed plays and advised the Key Club. He inspired his
students to challenge and improve themselves in many ways. He always believed
in the great potential of his students to excel, and they have proven him
correct.
Mr.
Eaton brought panache to his classroom with his deck of index cards from which
he pulled the targets of his well-placed questions. The cards brought their
share of insecurity to the ill prepared, but Westminster High School seniors
began to discover something, Shakespeare wasn't so bad after all. Mr. Eaton
commanded the classroom. Heading the Drama Club at Westminster High School, he
also commanded excellence in theatrical offerings.
Mr.
Eaton was born in Centerville, Maryland and passed away from cancer in 1995. He
graduated from Western Maryland College in 1930 and subsequently went on to
earn his Master’s degree at Columbia University in New York.
For over
three decades, Mike Eaton was Thelma Hoffman’s star boarder at Hoffman’s Inn,
now owned by the Historical Society of Carroll County and known as Cockey’s
Tavern, its name from when it was built in 1820.
The Mike
Eaton Scholarship has been established through the Historical Society of
Carroll County to recognize inspirational teachers, like Mr. Eaton, in the
lives of the current graduating class of Westminster High School. The winning
students wrote an essay about their most inspirational teacher.
Two Mike Eaton scholarships were
awarded this spring to graduating seniors from Westminster High School. The
teachers in the winning essays were also recognized at the Westminster High
School awards ceremonies on June 4, 2018.
The two
winning students were Margie Spann and Richard Folderauer. They each received a
$500.00 scholarship and their most influential teacher received an engraved
school bell.
Mr. Folderauer
named Mrs. Melissa Purdy as his most influential teacher. Ms. Spann named Mrs.
Kim Saltsburg as her most influential teacher.
Like Mr.
Eaton, Mrs. Purdy is the Westminster High School drama teacher. According to
Mr. Folderauer, every year Mrs. Purdy puts her heart, mind, and soul into three
productions. She is a director, mentor, and friend to her students. She teaches
kids from all walks of life the importance and the joy of performing. By doing
that, she gives her students a love for performing and has inspired Richard
Folderauer to inspire others with that love of performing.
Ms.
Spann called Ms. Saltsburg an inspirational teacher whom she said was
energetic, humorous, and beaming. She made interactive lessons that inspired Spann
to anticipate going to class, look forward to studying for tests, and yearn to
learn more. All of this happened in Mrs. Saltsburg’s Human Anatomy and
Physiology class. While she introduced many to the pungent smell of
formaldehyde; in the process she helped Margie Spann flourish in class and
introduced her to the medical field, as she now plans to become a doctor.
Mr.
Folderauer and Ms. Spann will both be attending the University of Maryland,
College Park.
The
Historical Society is pleased to be sponsoring this scholarship in memory of
Mike Eaton who was an influential and memorable teacher at Westminster High
School for over 35 years.

The Italian Water Garden at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA
The Italian Water Garden at Longwood Gardens in Kennett
Square, PA,
Originally designed in 1927, the Italian Water Garden at
Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA, is a crowd favorite. The garden was
designed by Pierre S. du Pont after gardens found at the Villa Gamberaia near
Florence, Italy.
According to the Longwood
Gardens website, “Pierre S. du Pont's love of water and fountains is
embodied in this Garden. Simple color tones—green grass, blue-tiled fountains,
and sparkling water—create a serene atmosphere. The Italian Water Garden is now open for the season.
“Mr. du Pont planned every aspect of this Garden, from the
sculptures inspired by his travels in Italy to the hydraulic calculations. He
even calculated that the northernmost pools needed to be built 14 feet longer
than the southernmost pool to appear symmetrical from the viewing deck…”

their own lives on roads and highways to assist those involved in traffic
incidents. Please join us to reach the traveling public with roadway incident
response messages that will help keep them and your personnel safe.
“On this page, we have compiled the resources of most value
to Public Information Officers (PIOs) who communicate with media outlets, as

It is really a fun show. Do not miss it.
"THREE WORDS:" Works by Gerard Lonesome and Eleanor Tatreaux
"Gerard and Eleanore are twins from the planet Zebulon. Their art was delivered to us by courier pigeon several months ago. In their letter to us they stated that they telephonically thought of three words to create each one of their works, thus the show name, 'Three Words.'"
"They will travel to earth in light years to collect the money made from sales of this show in order to fund the takeover of planet Earth. Until such time, however, they will allow the Earthlings to use the profits from this show to fund the first ever Pride Festival in Westminster, Maryland.
"Gerard was educated at the finest art institute on Zebulon and Eleanore is a self-taught savant.
"Enjoy the show, it maybe your last, Earthling."

Recent unwanted telemarketer phone calls
Recent unwanted telemarketer phone calls
March 30, 2018
Guess what – getting unwanted spam calls on your phone is
only going to get worse. A May 11, 2017 article in the Boston Globe, “The onslaught of spam calls will keep getting worse,”
reports that telemarketers have “turned the simple act of answering the phone
into a nuisance, one that’s a distraction at best and a costly scam at worst…
“It’s just one of the many creative ways that phone scammers
are trying to manipulate us into giving up personal information, buying
questionable products and services, or just handing over money.
“No, you’re not imagining it: These spam calls are on the
rise.
“According to the Federal Trade Commission, Americans made
3.5 million complaints about unwanted telemarketing calls in the 2015 fiscal
year. In 2016, that number shot up to 5.3 million. According to YouMail, a
call-blocking service, a staggering 2.5 billion robocalls were placed
nationwide in April alone. Yes, that’s a “b” for billion…”
March 30, 2018 recent unwanted telemarketer phone calls:
Credit card scam 30Mar2018: If you an extra minute, block
this number on your phone: 410-259-1432. I have not gotten many unwanted phone
calls recently from telemarketer scammer-criminals, but when I do I have been
left with the impression that they will use the same number for a brief period
of time and call many folks in the area.
This is a poorly executed version of the credit card scam. I
waited for a customer service person to pick up the phone so that I had the
opportunity to ask to be put on the do not call list.
The connection was poor and the call taker was not very
articulate. Perhaps off-shore.
The numbers for other recent annoying unwanted telemarketer
calls:
800-781-9921: 12:47 p.m. Jan. 29, 2018 - A family member and
I got a phone call today from 800-781-9921. It was poorly executed recorder
robo-call. The recorded voice lacked clarity, but it claimed something to the
affect that my Verizon account had been suspended and that I needed to press a
number to restore the account or press another number to speak with an account
representative.
877-386-6275 - 5:35 p.m. Jan. 29, 2018 no answer upon
answering the phone.
800-783-9283 4:10 p.m. Jan. 31, 2018 - Same call as the
other day, different phone number. It was poorly executed recorder robo-call.
The recorded voice lacked clarity, but it claimed something to the affect that
my Verizon account had been suspended and that I needed to press a number to
restore the account or press another number to speak with an account
representative.
410-259-1432 Credit card scam 30Mar2018 12:04 p.m. Friday
(410) 259-3650 at 3:57 PM on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2017. I did
not answer the call. I was on another phone call. No answer when i called the
number back.
805-298-1104 11 a.m. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23, 2017
"Just post free ad on our new https://www.hoobly.us to sell your rabbits quickly."

212-332-0849 17:08 April 6, 2017 New York – No answer upon
answering. When I tried to call back immediately, I get the standard Verizon
recording that your call cannot be completed as dialed…
Now it is four telemarketer calls in the last three days.
248-297-6218 Michigan 13:53 04/06/2017 No answer upon
answering. I have friends with a Michigan connection, so I immediately left the
room and called back. Sure enough, it was unwanted telemarketer with an
automated response asking if I wanted to be placed on the "Do Not
Call" list. So that is three calls in three days. I am well aware of folks
who get number of calls per day, but in the past, I have not. I really wish
something could be done about this.
April 6, 2017: Today, I even got a spam text from Verizon.
From number: 9000070003121 What the What!? #@!!*&?? "FREE VZW MSG:
Receive 1GB of free data on us! Sign up for Verizon Selects and get 1GB of data
for free. View details go.vzw.com/verizonselects. Reply "X" to opt
out of msgs. http://go.vzw.com/verizonselects Get 1 GB free. Thank you. If you
wish to restrict all future marketing text messages from VZW, reply 'Q'.
But then again, I have always figured that the telemarketers
have always worked in collusion with Verizon – it must bring in an enormous
amount of revenue.

801-278-1062 Salt Lake City 13:50 April 5, 2017 Said that

malicious scammer-calls for years. Block this number.

If you answer the phone and hear a recorded message instead
of a live person, it's a robocall. We’ve seen a significant increase in the
number of illegal robocalls because internet-powered phone systems have made it
cheap and easy for scammers to make illegal calls from anywhere in the world,
and to hide from law enforcement by displaying fake caller ID information.
To date, the FTC has brought more than a hundred lawsuits
against over 600 companies and individuals responsible for billions of illegal
robocalls and other Do Not Call violations.
The FTC also is leading several initiatives to develop
technology-based solutions. Those initiatives include a series of robocall
contests that challenge tech gurus to design tools that block robocalls and
help investigators track down and stop robocallers. We’re also encouraging
industry efforts to combat caller ID spoofing. Here’s the FTC’s game plan to
combat robocalls:
Continue aggressive law enforcement
Build better tools for investigating robocalls
Coordinate with law enforcement, industry, and other
stakeholders
Stimulate and pursue technological solutions.
Details about the FTC’s Robocall Initiatives
2015 DetectaRobo Contest
As part of the National Day of Civic Hacking, the FTC is
challenging techies to use call data to predict which incoming calls are
robocalls.
2015 Robocalls: Humanity Strikes Back Contest
The FTC is challenging the DEF CON community to create a tool
that people can use to block and forward unwanted robocalls automatically.
Forwarded calls will go to a honeypot — a data collection system that
researchers and investigators can use to study the calls.
2014 Zap Rachel Contest: At DEF CON 22, the FTC challenged
tech gurus to help us zap Rachel and her robocall buddies by creating the
next-generation robocall honeypot.
2012-2013 Robocall Challenge: The agency challenged
innovators to create solutions that will block illegal robocalls. The challenge
is now closed and the three winners with groundbreaking ideas were announced in
April 2013.
2012 Robocall Summit: The FTC hosted a one-day public event
on Thursday, October 18, 2012 to discuss the rapid rise in illegal robocalls
and identify potential solutions. You can view videos and PowerPoint
presentations from the event’s panels.
