Country View Tuxedo & Wedding Accessories is relocating to a shop almost right next door on Main St in Westminster
Country View Tuxedo & Wedding Accessories is relocating
to a shop almost right next door on Main St in Westminster https://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2016/11/country-view-tuxedo-wedding-accessories.html
Mon, Oct 31, 2016
Hello Kevin,
We really appreciate you sharing this information.
Country View Tuxedo & Wedding Accessories was founded
February 1998.
Has always been in the Winchester Exchange building in
downtown Westminster. And now has relocated into a more convenient and customer
friendly location.
I know how important it is for my customers to look the best
for their wedding, prom, or social event. I want to give my customers great
prices, great selection, and great service. If I would make an error. I am
willing to go beyond to make it the best experience. I am a Christian and feel
I have a calling here. Saying a silent prayer for the bride and groom that they
have a beautiful and wonderful wedding day. Or that the students make it to and
from the prom safely.
Styles have changed since I have opened and I have had to
adjust to the changes. Suits are being rented as much as tuxedos. So we offer
suits and tuxedos, for sale beside as a rental.
The store also has a gift shop with unique items made with
forks and spoons, we also have jeeps, motorcycles, and tractors made from car
parts.
I am now selling fireman uniforms to local fire departments.
I look forward to including service to the police department. My plans are to
expand future my services.
Shelly will be sending her information very soon.
Thank You'
Robin Pool-Reese

Sykesville Art & Wine Festival celebrates its seventh year by Kevin Dayhoff May 7, 2017 Carroll County Times
Sykesville Art & Wine Festival celebrates its seventh
year by Kevin Dayhoff May 7, 2017 Carroll County Times http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/sykesville/ph-cc-sykesville-art-wine-festival-2-20170507-story.html
Mother Nature smiled on Sunday and provided a beautiful day
for folks to take over Sykesville's downtown and have a party. One of the many
sure signs that spring has arrived in Carroll County are the sights, sounds,
and excitement of the annual Sykesville Fine Art & Wine Festival.
This was the seventh year for the event, according to Julia
Della-Maria, Sykesville's Main Street Association coordinator. This year the
festival brought about 6,000 visitors to downtown Sykesville, according to
Della-Maria.
This a great boost to the "over 30 unique and eclectic
businesses (in town) — many of them have received awards for their originality
and success," said Della-Maria.
[…]
In a recent release it was announced that Sykesville was
named as a quarterfinalist in the competition. Nationwide, "More than
156,000 votes were cast for 242 nominees during the nominations phase,"
according to the release. "Quarterfinalist voting begins May 1 at www.votesykesville.com and runs
through May 28." You really can vote early and often for Sykesville.

More pictures from the Troop 1750 Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Matthew D. Yingling, Sat. May 6, 2017 at Zion United Methodist Church in Shipley Maryland.
Hats off to Carroll County Commissioner Richard Weaver and Maryland State Police Captain Holly Barrett for taking the time out of their hectic schedules to not only attend, but speak well and stay after the ceremonies to talk with folks. RESPECT.
Zion United Methodist Church in Shipley is always Norman Rockwell perfect for these occasions.
It was great to see my Westminster High School Class of 1971 classmate Ronnie Zepp and his wife, Debbie Zepp, who also participated in the service. Thank you

For the reader that was looking for the article that I wrote
about Judge Edward O. Weant Jr. July 11, 2016 by Kevin E. Dayhoff Please enjoy.
Weant was born in Westminster on April 9, 1918. He died on
February 10, 1999 at the age of 80. A Feb. 13, 1999… Weant, another
well-respected jurist from Carroll County served on the Maryland Court of
Special Appeals, the second highest court in Maryland — from 1979-1988.
Weant was elected to the Maryland State Senate in 1958 and
1964. In 1963, "he sponsored a move to allow Carroll County residents to
vote on whether to approve the Maryland Accommodations law. The law was the
first in a state below the Mason-Dixon Line that required public businesses to
open to African-Americans. July 11, 2016 by Kevin E. Dayhoff http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/ph-ce-dayhoff-071016-20160710-column.html

Recent articles about the June 1 appointment of Carroll
County native son Joe Getty to the state's highest court and his subsequent
investiture on June 27 have prompted quite a number of reader questions.
Several readers wanted to know more about the four judges
from Carroll County that sat on the Maryland Court of Appeals before Getty was
appointed — and why Judge Edward O. Weant Jr. was not mentioned.
Weant, another well-respected jurist from Carroll County
served on the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, the second highest court in
Maryland — from 1979-1988. According to the Maryland State Archives, "The
Court of Special Appeals is an appellate court. It was established in 1966 to
ease the caseload of the Court of Appeals and to facilitate resolution of cases
requiring appellate adjudication.
Weant was born in Westminster on April 9, 1918. He died on
February 10, 1999 at the age of 80. A Feb. 13, 1999, Baltimore Sun article
written by Fred Rasmussen indicates that "Judge Weant lived his entire
life in the 1890s brick house on Willis Street in Westminster where he was born
and raised, the son of an attorney. He was a familiar figure on the streets of
Westminster, where he took daily walks to and from the courthouse."
Many in the community also fondly mentioned his wife, Sarah
Morriss Weant, who died just a few years ago, on Dec. 1, 2010 at the age of 87.
Judge Weant earned his bachelor's degree from Western
Maryland (now McDaniel) College in 1941. He was months away from a master's
degree at Harvard Business School when he was drafted into the Army, according
to Rasmussen.

May 2, 2017: Westminster City Council candidate: Ann Thomas Gilbert
Profession: Adult Service Case worker for the Department of Social Services
Years Experience: 18+ years
Education: McDaniel College- Master of Science in Counseling Education; May 2009; University of Maryland Baltimore County, Bachelor of Arts; 1989
Community Groups involved in: Member of Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster, Member of the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce, Member of the Carroll Leadership Class of 2012, and Member of the Healthy Aging Leadership Team
Past Political Experience: None
Campaign priorities
1. Public safety- This is a multifaceted issue that needs to be addressed more vigorously and with greater focus. Improved public safety includes efforts to reduce the sale and use of drugs, to develop options for our homeless population and to deal with the crime issue. We need to collaborate with our service agencies and law enforcement to seek their suggestions and input. Partnering with local colleges, the health department, and local agencies to expand services will help to address these issues. By sharing our ideas and resources together we can progress toward a safer more attractive community. Offering more downtown family activities such as the successful Flower and Jazz fest, the wine stroll, and concerts in the park will increase exposure to all the city has to offer and will create a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
2. Utilizing the Broadband project to attract new business and create jobs is an effort that needs continued support. This service puts our City in the forefront of modern technology to expand and develop business opportunities. By creating a business friendly atmosphere, we will stimulate economic growth. This accompanied with efforts to support law enforcement to reduce crime and the sale and use of drugs will make the downtown area safer and more appealing to our citizens and to future businesses.
3. Improving communication between the city administration, the council and the citizens of Westminster. To do this we can begin to broadcast council meetings on local programming. Create a newsletter from the council and to offer informal activities to enable communication with citizens; such as scheduled walks in neighborhoods, meet and greet sessions at local restaurants or business. This will allow us as representatives of your city to hear your concerns and hopefully praises as well.

The 1993 annual Carroll County Maryland 4-H FFA Fair program.
Of all the fair programs in my library, this must be the
most extensive and comprehensive. It is approximately 380 pages.
I explained much of the history and traditions of the fair
in an August 2, 2015 piece I wrote for the Baltimore Sun: “Annual Carroll
County Fair set for this week,” Eagle Archives, By Kevin E. Dayhoff, http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-archives-county-fair-0802-20150731-story.html
The “annual Carroll County 4-H and FFA Fair at the
Agriculture Center just south of Westminster” Maryland.
[…]
The first mention of a Carroll County ‘fair’ seems to have
occurred in the days immediately following the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-4,
1863. In “Recollections,” Dr. Joshua Hering describes, “A temporary camp was
made in a field on the “Fairground Hill,” immediately to the left of the
turnpike.”

The Veteran’s Administration – giving you a second opportunity to die for your country. A reality check on the idea of going to a single payer health care system – as if the current system is not bad enough.
We do not need Obamacare repealed and replaced. We need it fixed. The answer is more accountability and more competition.
Meanwhile this YouTube is yet another reminder of the horrors of the one example of a US government-run single payer healthcare
system.
system.
Each and every one of my experiences of reaching-out to the VA to advocate for a veteran has been horrific of unbelievable proportions. If this is an example of a US government-run single payer healthcare system, we are all going to go broke paying the necessary healthcare taxes – and then die.

The last words of SPC Jordan Shay
The last words of SPC Jordan Shay
April 20, 2017 by Kevin Dayhoff
I awakened early this morning to an odd email that
enigmatically resulted from a series of events from 2009 – August, late summer
2009. On any given day, I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, much
less, recall events from eight-years ago.
But it came to me quickly. The email came from a commenter
on a post on one of the several ‘milblogging’ conflict-blogs that I followed a
number of years ago. Some of which involved writers, and folks I knew, or areas
of the world in which I was somewhat aware, or had colleagues, or friends, or
friends of friends who were participating in operations in the area.
Many of them were sad, and often reminded me in many ways of
reading about the events involved in the Boer War, as depicted in the Bruce
Beresford, 1980 cult classic, “Breaker Morant,” about un-real events in 1901,
in South Africa - or Peter Weir’s 1981, “Gallipoli.”
Storytelling about unremarkable specific events in a
character’s life that are compelling because they provide an insight into a
larger narrative about war, conflict, heroism, empire – and ordinary folks
involved in ordinary events who step-up to accomplish extraordinary
accomplishments that defy any reasonable explanation.
“Through
Aber Lenses,” http://throughamberlenses.blogspot.com/,
was written by SPC Jordan Shay who was serving as an infantry fireteam leader
in the 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment in Iraq; placed like Diyala
Province.
Shortly after his post, “The
Promised ‘Real’ Post,” was published in August 2009, he was killed in
action on September 2, 2009. He poignantly left behind, dedicated friends, avid
readers who had gotten to know him through his excellent writing, and a loving
family and girlfriend.
This reminds one of the great writers that were killed in
World War I. Spc. Shay had gifted voice that brought to life the moment by
moment otherwise unremarkable daily events that would become a part of greater
collage of a war zone – that made sense, because it made no sense.
To be certain, I did not know Spc. Shay, but to be reading
his writing, just before his death, quickly became a touchstone that gave you
chills and a pause for thought – a trigger event, if you will, for all the
folks on the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial that I knew – or knew of through
mutual friends and family. Carroll County was much smaller in those days and in
many ways, much-much more closely knit.
I learned early in life, by way of writing experiences,
leadership events, the Marine Corps, the Vietnam War, advocating for Civil
Rights, sports, or binge-reading southern gothic literature; that success in
life is hinged upon how well one deals with tragic setbacks, extreme difficulty
and abject failure. The unexplained sudden loss, and totally unpredictable
random setbacks that seem to have no relationship to how hard you tried.
During the Vietnam War, we did not talk about the war, our military
service, or G_d forbid, our feelings. Even those of us, like me, who never
deployed and stayed stateside. And we sure as heck did not write about our experience
on a website that could be accessed from all over the world. We kept to
ourselves to ‘protect ourselves’ against all the folks in society who
brandished the peace symbol, burned the flag, and plead for tolerance for their
point of view, who heaped scorn upon us.
The post, “The Promised ‘Real’ Post,” is compelling – as are
the heartfelt and meaningful comments, for a change, that filled-in many of the
missing pieces of the puzzle. One writer wrote, “This is very painful. We
writers take loss very hard, especially when one as young as Jordan passes. We
realize that he had so little time to share his gift, and regret he didn't get
to share more. But these words --what he saw, how he thought, what he felt,
will be with the world forever. Writing was part of his legacy…”
We seem to have some sort of primal-programming to accept
loss, and move-on quickly. I guess when the dinosaur ate your best friend, you
were not going to survive, if you hung around wallowing in grief when the
dinosaur choose to chase you for dessert.
Rest in peace brother, your watch is over we will take it
from here, you duty is done here, God has your place in heaven.
Or better yet, paraphrased from someone far brighter than
me, “God will be merciful to his good soul. Thank you for your service,
dedication, and sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Semper Fidelis from an old Marine.
Now for the last time, set that weapon down on pods, on the deck of Heaven's
chow hall.”
There are no guarantees in life. Every morning I put on the “The
Whole Armor of God” God will be merciful to his good soul. Thank you for your
service, dedication, and sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Semper Fidelis from an old
Marine. Now for the last time, set that weapon down on pods, on the deck of
Heaven's chow hall.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the
power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh
and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly
places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth,
having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet
with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of
faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked
one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for
all the saints— Ephesians 6: 10-18

Amesbury soldier killed in Iraq by Marie Szaniszlo |Friday,
September 4, 2009|http://www.bostonherald.com|Local Coverage
A 22-year-old Amesbury soldier was killed this week on his
second tour of duty in Iraq ,
town officials said.
Jordan Shay, an E4 leader in an attack company assigned to
the 5th Battalion of the 20th Infantry regiment, was killed Tuesday, said
Kristen LaRue, director of veteran’s services.
Details about how Shay was killed have not yet been
released. But he belonged to the 3rd Stryker Brigade, based in Fort Lewis , Wash. ,
and was on his third tour of duty, LaRue said.
The day before he was killed was the last time he logged on
to his MySpace [website] page, where a
clock counting down how many days he had left in the Army is still running.
“Our hearts and our prayers are with the Shay family,” she
said. “As a community, we are standing together to assist the family in any
way.”
Flags have been lowered to half-staff across town in memory
of Shay, who graduated from Amesbury
High School in 2005.

At times he must have been no more than two hundred feet
from me, but I never had the privilege to meet Jordan Shay. Together we chewed
up the most inhospitable terrain on earth, and back on Ft. Lewis ,
we worked daily in the same dilapidated Korean War era barracks. The only
connection I shared with Jordan
was through the comments section of his blog, which I keep linked on the top of
the page under our unit crest. Though our companies faced a heated
inter-battalion rivalry, Attack Company was always in the thick of combat with
my company, Battle .
They shouldered a far greater burden than us, sustaining eight KIAs to our two.
Jordan ,
at 22 years old, saw more combat than a lot of crusty old vets before he could
legally buy a beer. For his third combat tour with the 3rd Stryker Brigade , Jordan
started a blog to chronicle his experience. He named it Through Amber Lenses, the
color of his sunglasses. He wanted to explain to the world what he saw with a
bright amber tint.
What I read when I checked his most recent comment section
hit me straight in the gut. "RIP Jordan ." I rushed to the DoD
announcement page and found nothing. Through a Google search I confirmed my
worst fear: Jordan
Shay, 22 years young, killed in Iraq.
