American Legion magazine - Con Thien, Vietnam

Con Thien Vietnam: A well-written short story on Firebase Con Thein during the Vietnam War. I found it trying to catch-up on my reading this afternoon, while going through a stack of American Legion magazines. “Hill of Angels,” written by Leith Nightengale. FTA: “Con Thien, like all firebases, was a model of battlefield simplicity and complexity….”

Westminster Fallfest September 22-25, 2022


Westminster Fallfest started in 1978 to promote awareness of the renewal of the downtown shopping district. The dates for this year’s Westminster Fallfest are Sept. 22-25, 2022.

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

This year in Carroll County, fall began at 8:03 p.m. on Sept. 22. Scientifically it’s the autumnal equinox, the time when the sun shines directly on the equator, and the southern and northern hemispheres receive the same amount of sunlight. After the 22nd, the northern hemisphere began to tilt away from the sun.

[…]

For those of us who love summer, the first day of fall can only mean that winter will soon be upon us. Others look upon the fall season with excitement. Indeed, in Carroll County fall brings about a cornucopia of community events. Fall is for apples, pumpkins, sweaters, fuzzy socks, and colorful leaves.

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.


Westminster Fallfest started in 1978 to promote awareness of the renewal of the downtown shopping district. The dates for this year’s Westminster Fallfest are Sept. 22-25, 2022.

According to information provided by the City of Westminster, this year’s Fallfest charity partners are, Crossroads Church, Catholic Charities Head Start & Early Learning, Westminster Municipal Band, and Together We Own It. “Selected partners will assist with planning ... complete tasks delegated by organizers, provide and coordinate volunteers to manage and staff several activities during the four-day festival, and attend mandatory monthly meetings. In return, each partner receives a portion of the proceeds generated from the event to benefit their organization.

“Fallfest is a four-day community event with fun for everyone! The festival is [composed] of rides, games, food, entertainment, and on Saturday and Sunday only, an assortment of craft, commercial, and nonprofit vendors. Hundreds of volunteers from local organizations and area schools help staff this event.”

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…”

Lenten Creation Care 2022 Cuidemos la Creación durante la Cuaresma de este 2022

Lenten Creation Care 2022 Cuidemos la Creación durante la Cuaresma de este 2022

Because our world can change a lot in 40 days. Porque el mundo puede cambiar mucho en 40 días.

Lent is a time for prayer, fasting, and more intentional sharing. This year, our church is joining with many others in heeding the call to be stewards of God’s Creation throughout this season. 

May this calendar remind us to be more mindful of the ways that our daily habits impact both our common home and all those with whom we share it. On behalf of future generations and all living in poverty — those most harmed by our damaged climate — may we answer God’s call to be faithful stewards, speaking out for Creation care.

A prayer from Psalm 51: 

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.
Creator God, we begin this Lenten season asking for Your renewal. 
Through prayer, fasting, and sharing over these 40 days, 
we ask that our eyes be opened to the ways we can do better; 
in our relationships with You, Your Creation, 
and all those with whom we share this, our common home. 
Lord, help us to restore what has been damaged through our sinful overconsumption 
and the systemic injustices that surround us, returning to You with renewed spirits

Lenten Creation Care 2022 - Because our world can change a lot in 40 days.

Cuidemos la Creación durante la Cuaresma de este 2022

Porque el mundo puede cambiar mucho en 40 días.

La Cuaresma es un tiempo de oración, ayuno y participación de manera más consciente. Este año, nuestra parroquia está uniéndose a otras iglesias en responder al llamado de cuidar la Creación de Dios durante esta temporada. Recemos para que esta temporada nos haga más conscientes de las maneras en que nuestras acciones tienen impactos positivos para “nuestra casa común” y para aquéllos con quienes la compartimos. En representación de generaciones futuras y todos los que viven en la pobreza—los más impactados por nuestro deteriorado clima—que respondamos todos a la llamada de Dios y que seamos fieles guardianes, y nos pronunciemos a favor del cuidado de la Creación

Miércoles de Ceniza 
Empezamos esta temporada cuaresmal con una oración del Salmo 51: Por tu inmensa compasión 
y misericordia, Señor, apiádate de mí y olvida mis ofensas. Lávame bien de todas mis culpas ... 
Crea en mí, Señor, un corazón puro, un espíritu nuevo para cumplir tus mandamientos.
Dios Creador, empezamos esta temporada pidiendo por una renovación. A través de la oración, el ayuno y la 
participación a lo largo de estos 40 días, pedimos que nuestros ojos se abran a las maneras en que podemos 
mejorar; en nuestras relaciones contigo; tu Creación, y todos estos con quienes compartimos éste, nuestro 
hogar común. Confiamos en tu capacidad para crear en nosotros corazones limpios, para llevarnos del pecado 
a ser devotos guías, para usarnos como instrumentos de tu sanación. Señor, ayúdanos a restaurar lo que se ha 
dañado por nuestro excesivo e inmoral consumismo y las injusticias sistemáticas que nos rodean, regresando a 
ti con el espíritu renovado

Stan Chase Nov. 30, 1931 – Feb. 24, 2022


Our friend Stan Chase died on February 24, 2022. Mr. Chase was an amazing person of incredible accomplishments. He will be greatly missed. 

Stan Chase Nov. 30, 1931 – Feb. 24, 2022

Stanislaus (Stan) Chase was born in Westminster, Maryland, on November 30, 1931, to the late Inez Gibson. The “thin man with the kind face” was called home to be with the Lord, sitting in his favorite chair, on Thursday, February 24, 2022. https://ccnaacp7014.blogspot.com/2022/03/stan-chase-nov-30-1931-feb-24-2022.html 

Stan attended Robert Moton School in Westminster, Maryland, and graduated in 1948. Stan graduated from Maryland State College (now University of Maryland Eastern Shore) in 1952 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.  Stan served in the Army during the Korean War and was honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant in 1954. Stan was extremely “Proud” of his military service to his country.

Stan completed graduate studies at the University of Maryland, and Morgan State College (University), and would later receive his Master of Arts from Towson State College (University) in 1970.

Stan began his career as an educator in 1955 as a Physical Education and Science teacher in Leonardtown, Maryland.  It was here that he met the love of his life, Anne Williams who preceded him in death. 

 Stan taught and coached at his alma mater Robert Moton Consolidated from 1957 to 1964. At the height of desegregation, Stan was transferred to Sykesville High School in 1964.  He is often credited by both African Americans and Caucasian Americans in the community as being the “reason school integration worked in Carroll County.” He was also deemed “the most popular guy in Carroll County with students and teachers.”

Sykesville High School became Sykesville Middle School in 1967. Stan continued as the Physical Education teacher and assumed other positions of increased responsibility including Health Education Specialist, Guidance Counselor, and ultimately was promoted to the position of Vice Principal.  He retired from Carroll County Schools in 1995.

Stan and Anne were married in 1957, and were blessed with their son, Bryant Gordon Chase in 1959. Even though Stan had only one child, because of his many years as an educator, coach, and memberships in multiple local and national organizations, and church memberships, numerous individuals considered him a second father, mentor, and trusted advisor.  

He had a sharp mind and was very knowledgeable about history and sports.  He read the local Baltimore Sun and AFRO American Newspapers, and kept abreast of local, national, and international news.

Stan’s love of sports started with participation, but grew to coaching, officiating, and he spent countless hours of fanatic-level viewing with his son Bryant.  In 1961 he coached the Robert Moton High School Basketball Team to win the state championship.  This was only the second Carroll County School basketball team to ever win a state title.  

Stan officiated many state championship football games as a member of the Maryland Board of Football Officials, and the Central Maryland Football Officials. He continued to officiate multiple sports well into his eighties.  

Stan was inducted into the Carroll County Sports Hall of Fame in 2002, and the gymnasium at the Robert Moton High School Museum is also dedicated in his name and honor.

Stan was a generous, selfless giver of his time and money to support charities, the community (including the Grove Park Neighborhood Association), family, friends, and neighbors. 

He sponsored or supported many youth-development and scholarship programs through his affiliations with local and national organizations, including being a volunteer and mentor for the MESA (Math Engineering Science Achievement) Program which is hosted by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. 

He also served for over 20 years as an election official poll volunteer for District #5, at School #224, Grove Park Elementary School in Baltimore City, and as a Regular Election Judge from 2010 to 2016.  Stan was a dependable, conscientious Election Judge that made sure accuracy and ethics were adhered to at polling station.  He spent hours upon hours making sure the polling station was conducted in a professional manner and that respect was bestowed to every person who entered the polls to vote. 

He was known for his kindness and attention to detail.  He assisted many persons in the Grove Park Community who needed to be transported to the polls due to physical challenges and mobility issues.

Stan enjoyed spending time with family and friends, which includes, working at the Reese Firehouse Carnival, Cruising the Caribbean, singing in the church choir, playing and coaching softball, and he never met a line dance he wouldn’t try!  He was always a consummate gentleman, and he was quiet, but, when he spoke, he had a word of encouragement and knowledge for all who encountered him.

Stan leaves to celebrate his life: his son, Bryant Chase, wife Kimberly; his brother, George Gibson; his grandchildren, Derek Chase (Wife Destinee), Brittany Chase (Husband Rico), and Joshua Chase; seven great-grandchildren; two sisters-in-law, Evelyn Marie Wein (husband Larry), and Jean Barbara Jamison; numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews; a host of other relatives, friends, neighbors, fraternity brothers, Prince Hall Masonic family, church families, former students and co-workers, and his Grove Park neighbors.
Stan was a proud and distinguished member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., and the Free Masons.  

His journey with Alpha Phi Alpha began with the Delta Nu at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore where he served as a chartering member.  He joined the Delta Lambda Graduate Chapter in Baltimore City where he held several leadership positions including Chapter Vice President.  He is a Founder of the Rho Tau Lambda Graduate Chapter serving the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan Area, which was chartered on November 8, 2008.

Stan also held many positions of leadership in multiple Houses of the Free Masons. These include:

Past Master (PM) James E. Stewart Lodge No. 49
Past High Priest (PHP), King David No 1, Holy Royal Arch Mason, Baltimore, MD.
Past Thrice Illustrious Master (PTIM), Omega Council No. 2, Royal and Select Masters, Baltimore, MD
Past Eminent Commander (PEC), St. Joseph Commandery No. 2, Havre de Grace, MD
Past Commander in Chief (PCIC), Western Maryland Consistory #270
Past Potentate, ANWAR Temple #219, Rockville, MD
