DAYHOFF: Plenty of ways over the years to have a hot time in Westminster


DAYHOFF: Plenty of ways over the years to have a hot time in Westminster

Eagle Archives By Kevin Dayhoff Posted 4/11/10

History, the Westminster recreation problem, log rolling, and burning motorcycles.

Parades, log rollings, and a motorcycle fire provided entertainment for Carroll County years ago.

On April 11, 1887, the city of Westminster was the scene of parades, poetry, pomp and circumstance as the 50th anniversary of the founding of Carroll County was celebrated.

Thanks to the research of Mary Ann Ashcraft for the Historical Society of Carroll, we are aware of many of the details of that day.

Ashcraft calls to our attention that the April 12, 1887, Baltimore Sun reported, "Probably 25,000 people participated in the celebration, and everything passed off pleasantly and with good order. From all parts of the county large cavalcades of horsemen moved on the town and participated in the parade."

Consider that 25,000 is a lot of people if you consider the population of Westminster was only about 3,000.

A Man's BBQ Grill and the Rules to Go With It


A Man's BBQ Grill and the Rules to Go With It

Received in an e-mail... Hat Tip: The Chief and Ruby:

Now this is a BBQ guaranteed to get everyone's attention......I think it should be towed with the barrel facing backwards...then you wouldn't have to worry about anyone tailgating you....I don't know for sure but my guess is the owner is from Texas!!!!!!

BBQ RULES

We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity. When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

Routine...

(1) The woman buys the food.

(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.

Here comes the important part:

(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine...

(6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat

Important again:

(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine...

(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:

(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed 'her night off' and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women!

Gettysburg College creates new major in Organization and Management Studies

Posted:


Gettysburg College's Department of Management has overhauled its major, which is now called Organization and Management Studies (OMS).

In addition, the department has initiated changes to more closely align the management curriculum with the College's liberal arts focus while better preparing students for the contemporary workplace.

The new OMS major will explore "organizations, how they behave within the context of societal issues, how people in those organizations behave, and how those organizations are managed." Anchored firmly in the social sciences, OMS aims to "reaffirm the liberal arts foundation of the studies of organizations and management."

Prof. Bennett Bruce, department chair and chief architect of the changes, said that OMS was the department's answer to three questions: "How can we contribute to the mission of the College, how can we create something that's great for students, and how can the faculty do something that we're passionate about?"

The major in OMS is intended to give students a solid foundation in organization theory and behavior, statistics, research methods, and systems thinking, while choosing one of two tracks: Organizations and Society or Intra-Organizational Dynamics. Courses cover such topics as organizational culture, social responsibility, ethics, leadership, motivation, gender and diversity within organizations, and organizational change.

OMS replaces a more traditional management major that combined courses in management and business, according to Bruce. The new major, he said, will give students the "intellectual freedom" to dig deeply into some of the most important issues organizations grapple with today, such as sustainability, corporate ethics, and globalization.

Though business courses have been removed from the OMS major, they still have an important role in the Gettysburg curriculum. Students in any major will now be able to add a business-literacy minor to their field of study. The minor includes courses in finance, marketing, accounting, organizational behavior, and economics.

Distinguishing the OMS major from a traditional business major is one of the objectives of the new structure. Critical thinking, rigorous inquiry, and the acquisition of knowledge-instead of just skills-are central to the OMS curriculum, which stresses "intellectual boldness, creative problem solving, entrepreneurial thinking, and the practice of responsible management."

Bruce said the new major will give students "a larger perspective than just how to maximize profit," while also giving them a competitive advantage when they graduate. "Our students will get a good foundation for graduate work. They'll be prepared for cutting-edge work in organizations. And they're likely to be attracted to companies that are doing something innovative."

Founded in 1832, Gettysburg College is a highly selective four-year residential college of liberal arts and sciences with a strong academic tradition that includes Rhodes Scholars, a Nobel laureate and other distinguished scholars among its alumni. The college enrolls 2,600 undergraduate students and is located on a 200-acre campus adjacent to the Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania.

Sykesville Police are investigating the theft of a wheelchair

Sykesville Police are investigating the theft of a wheelchair

April 5 2010

By Kevin Dayhoff for Soundtrack http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/04/sykesville-police-are-investigating.html

Folks in the small town of Sykesville are shaking their heads in disbelief today upon learning that over the weekend someone stole the wheelchair of a town resident who is paralyzed from the chest down.

Sykesville is a relatively quiet town of approximately 4500 residents, which straddles the Carroll and Howard County border in the southern part of Carroll County, where - still to this day - most everyone knows each other.

However, a small part of that small-town trust has been shaken. According to the town police chief, John Williams, who answered the phone when this reporter called the department asking for additional information, “the theft of a wheelchair occurred during the evening hours of Saturday, April 3, 2010 between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.

“The owner of the wheelchair is a town resident and is paralyzed from the chest down. The adult size wheelchair is red and black in color with ‘QUICKIE’ printed in white lettering on the back of the chair.”

When asked why he answers the phones and if he also takes out the trash and washes the windows at the police station, Williams only admitted to be “in a flurry of administrative tasks,” with a wry chuckle.

Williams noted that “neighbors got together and carried the owner from his car to his bed… But we sure would like to return the wheelchair to its owner.

“Officers canvassed the neighborhood, but so far we have had no luck locating the wheelchair and we have no suspects at this point. The wheelchair has been valued at $4,500.00,” said Williams.

The investigation is ongoing. If anyone has additional information that could help the Sykesville Police Department, they are asked to call 410-795-0757.

~~~~~

The Carroll County branch of the NAACP has announced that Chief Judge Bell will be the keynote speaker at the upcoming annual Freedom Fund banquet to be held April 9.

In 1996, Bell became the only active judge in the State to have served at least four years on all four levels of Maryland’s judiciary, and the first African-American to be named the state’s chief jurist.

Bell began his long career as an attorney with the law firm Piper and Marbury. He was first appointed to the bench in 1975 as a judge of the District Court of Maryland for Baltimore City, according to information from his office.

He next served as a judge for the Circuit Court for Baltimore City from 1980 until 1984. In that year, he was appointed judge to the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland and in 1991, Bell was appointed to the Court of Appeals of Maryland.

On October 23, 1996 then-Maryland Governor Parris Glendening, appointed him to the state’s highest court, Judge of the Court of Appeals.

Bell, who in his current role manages over 3,000 employees, and oversees the Maryland court system, lectures frequently at schools and community groups.

He was born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina on July 6, 1943 grew-up in Baltimore where he attended Dunbar High School.

In 1960, twelve Dunbar High School students entered a downtown Baltimore restaurant, were refused service and subsequently arrested and convicted for trespassing.

One of those students was a young Bell, who led an appeal of the verdict in a landmark civil rights case, Bell v. Maryland, which was eventually argued before the United States Supreme Court and brought an end to de facto racial segregation in Maryland.

Bell continued his education at Morgan State College, where he received his A.B. degree in 1966. He went on to Harvard University Law School where he received his J.D. in 1969.

The annual banquet will be held this year at Martin's Westminster on Friday, April 9, 2010, beginning 6:30 pm. Tickets for the banquet are $45.00. For more information contact Charlotte Brown (410) 861-7890, Jean Lewis (410) 861-6872, Bernard Jones, Sr. (410)-876-2358, or the Carroll County NAACP web site, http://ccnaacp7014.blogspot.com/
