Hoby Wolf, columnist, activist, advocate and Carroll County stalwart, dies at 85
Longtime columnist for Eagle, Hoby was known across the county

Hoby Wolf, longtime political columnist, community activist and stalwart of life in South Carroll, died unexpectedly on Monday, Feb. 15, 2010.

He was 85.

Word of Hoby’s passing spread quickly on Tuesday, circulated by the close-knit Carroll County community he cherished. He was considered by many as a pillar on the landscape of Carroll County.

He had served for many years as a columnist for The Eldersburg Eagle, The Northern News, The Westminster Eagle, The Carroll Eagle, The Carroll County Times and the Carroll Standard.

At the Eagle, he was an enduring symbol of the paper’s opinion page, which he shared with supporters, cordial rivals and even, on occasion, a few detractors. He welcomed them all, and above all enjoyed the mix of opinions and the freedom to express them.

To the Eagle staff, he was a constant source of energy, support, optimism and determination. He truly had an eagle’s spirit.

Hoby was known throughout the county, and was a member of numerous political clubs, including the South Carroll Business Association. He was also a member of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, Sykesville. His interests were as broad as his circle of friends -- he was equality at home at a meeting of the South Carroll Business Association as he was with the Christian Farmers Association.

We encourage motorists to keep a special look out for students who are walking to school or waiting at bus stops.

http://www.examiner.com/x-3108-Baltimore-Republican-Examiner~y2010m2d15-Rumors-that-Barbara-Mikulski-will-retire-are-not-true

A recent blog post by “The Vail Spot” has gotten many Marylanders excited about a possible retirement from Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski. Unfortunately, according to numerous sources, the rumor is not true.

Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post, Mike Memoli of RealClearPolitics, and the National Review Online have all reported that the 73 year-old Senator will not step down anytime soon.

[…]

Since 1976, Mikulski has never gotten less than 60% of the vote in any election.

Byron York - Rachel Maddow throws a cheap shot at an honest vote

Byron York - Rachel Maddow throws a cheap shot at an honest vote

"Just this week you were at a community college touting a $350,000 green technology education program, talking about how great that was going to be for your district," she said to Schock. "You voted against the bill that created that grant. And so that's happening a lot with Republicans sort of taking credit for things that Democratic bills do, and then Republicans simultaneously touting their votes against them and trashing them."

Michael Barone - Democrats exiting the sinking ship? Part 23: Sen. Evan Bayh

Where does this leave Democrats in the 2010 Senate contests? Not in very good shape.

David Freddoso - Little-known Dem could ruin Bayh's succession plan, if enough Hoosiers help out tonight

If no one else qualifies for the May primary ballot, Democratic party leaders will choose their nominee in a caucus. But there is still someone out there trying to gather the signatures needed to get the Democratic nomination:

Susan Ferrechio - Bayh drops re-election bid, sending Dems scrambling again

With Bayh's retirement, there are now eight Senate seats currently held by Democrats that Republicans may grab this fall.

Julie Mason - Uncertainty rules on White House terror policies

While White House officials ponder how best to proceed, Republicans are seizing the opening to raise a warning about Obama's national security credentials.

In Blizzard, Conservatives Mock Global Warming Alarmists, Left and Media Outraged

The Balance Sheet - The Weekly Newsletter of the Business and Media Institute:

In Blizzard, Conservatives Mock Global Warming Alarmists, Left and Media Outraged
Mainstream media continue defense of man-made global warming theory in the wake of East Coast blizzards adding “snowpocalypse” to the long list of problems blamed on the theory: heat waves, hurricanes, lack of snow, an Air France plane crash and women forced into prostitution.

It Doesn't Matter What You Do, You Just Caused Global Warming
Blizzards only the latest of hundreds of claims left uses to argue climate heating up while their science claims go into deep freeze.

VIDEO: From Hurricanes to Heat Waves, Blizzards to Bridge Collapse: Media Say It’s All Global Warming
From California wildfires, polar ice melt, rain, floods, tornadoes, snow, no snow -- all signs of global warming say public figures.

February 15 1898 The Maine Explodes

Welcome to the THIS DAY IN HISTORY newsletter from History.com

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

February 15: General Interest
1898 : The Maine explodes

A massive explosion of unknown origin sinks the battleship USS Maine in Cuba's Havana harbor, killing 260 of the fewer than 400 American crew members aboard.

One of the first American battleships, the Maine weighed more than 6,000 tons and was built at a cost of more than $2 million. Ostensibly on a friendly visit, the Maine had been sent to Cuba to protect the interests of Americans there after a rebellion against Spanish rule broke out in Havana in January.

An official U.S. Naval Court of Inquiry ruled in March that the ship was blown up by a mine, without directly placing the blame on Spain. Much of Congress and a majority of the American public expressed little doubt that Spain was responsible and called for a declaration of war.

Subsequent diplomatic failures to resolve the Maine matter, coupled with United States indignation over Spain's brutal suppression of the Cuban rebellion and continued losses to American investment, led to the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in April 1898.

Within three months, the United States had decisively defeated Spanish forces on land and sea, and in August an armistice halted the fighting. On December 12, 1898, the Treaty of Paris was signed between the United States and Spain, officially ending the Spanish-American War and granting the United States its first overseas empire with the ceding of such former Spanish possessions as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.

In 1976, a team of American naval investigators concluded that the Maine explosion was likely caused by a fire that ignited its ammunition stocks, not by a Spanish mine or act of sabotage.

Main Street Westminster MD after a heavy snowfall circa 1940s

Update: Historian Joe Getty says: “could be the "Palm Sunday Snowstorm" of 1942. My Northern News article this week mentions it: "An unusual storm known as the “Palm Sunday Snowstorm... See More” hit Carroll County on March 29-30, 1942. In Westminster, this storm delivered one of largest one-day accumulations (22 inches in 24 hours) and a total of 32 inches. This was a localized storm that primarily affected only Maryland instead of the broader mid-Atlantic region. As a late season storm, the wet, heavy snow fell on trees and plants that had already blossomed and caused damage to crops and fruit trees, fallen limbs and branches and downed power lines throughout this region."

[…]

Historical Society of Carroll County has photos of the Palm Sunday Snowstorm that you could compare your image to - Ed Hailfley of Frizzellburg had some great shots of that snowstorm as well.

This image shows Main Street Westminster MD after a heavy snowfall. I do not recall where I got this image… I have always thought that renowned Westminster photographer Charles Magee took the photo after a heavy snowfall in 1946, but this is only hypothecation and in the end, I do not know the year or the photographer. If you know, please be in touch.
