Joe Getty sworn-in to Md. Court of Appeals
Getty sworn-in to Md. Court of Appeals
June 27, 2016 by Kevin Dayhoff
Joseph Getty was sworn in Monday morning in the House of
Delegates chamber in the Maryland State House in Annapolis to represent the 3rd
Appellate Judicial Circuit on the state's highest court.
Getty, a Manchester resident and former Republican state
senator representing Carroll County, had most recently served as Republican
Gov. Larry Hogan's chief legislative officer. He was appointed to the Maryland
Court of Appeals on June 1 to fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Judge
Lynne Battaglia.
Friends, family, former and current judges, and members of
the General Assembly filled the legislative chamber to witness Hogan administer
the oath of office for Getty to become the fifth judge from Carroll County to
sit on the Court of Appeals since 1867.
Many speakers at the ceremony mentioned that Getty also made
history by having served in all three branches of Maryland government — the
legislative, executive branches and now the judiciary. It was a point not
missed by local historian, Jay Graybeal, the former executive director of the
Historical Society of Carroll County; a position also held by Getty from 1987
to 1994.

An open letter from Keep Carroll Conservative to Senator Joe
Getty:
Dear Senator Getty,
[…]
We ask you to please help us understand the inconsistencies
in the Hogan administration talking points for the last month. We’ve posted
screen shots that show you started your new position with the Hogan
Administration but now someone is covering those tracks and your profile shows
no starting date to for your new appointment. You’re our home-town guy who
should have the best interests of Carroll County in mind, right? Perhaps you
can help answer a number of troubling questions:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Who Are We?
Keep Carroll Conservative is a grass-roots organization made
up of concerned citizens who reside in Carroll County. We live here because we
believe Carroll County stands for less government, lower taxes, great schools,
and safe neighborhoods. And we want it
to remain that way.
We know that it’s people, not government, who make – and
keep – Carroll the “Switzerland” of Maryland Counties. (You know Switzerland. It’s the tiny, conservative Country in Europe
that’s currently holding the whole region together.) We know conservative principles are the only
governing principles that have survived the test of time. It explains why Switzerland is doing so well
while all the liberal countries around it are dealing with collapse.
It’s our focus to share the greatness of conservatism; get
the best candidates elected to public offices in Carroll County; and keep you
informed about the latest goings on in Carroll. http://keepcarrollconservative.com/about-us/

anecdotes and answered questions from about 50 McDaniel College students who
had gathered in a lecture room at Hill Hall for the occasion.
The senators had visited the campus for a presentation, ““So
What Just Happened: A Report from Annapolis,” as a courtesy to long
standing McDaniel political science professor, Dr. Herb Smith – who is
frequently sought-out by statewide and national media outlets for his insights
into Maryland politics.

20120827 Tampa Republican Natl Conv, People
Getty-Joe Getty
“Mitt Romney's speech was spectacular in energizing the
convention,” reported Senator Joe Getty, R-Carroll, and Baltimore Counties, last
Thursday. This is the second half of TheTentacle.com’s coverage of the
senator’s insights, pictures, and anecdotes from attending the recent Republican
National Convention in Tampa Florida.
The foreign policy theme was one of many highlights of the
convention, according to Senator Getty … “With a riveting speech by former
secretary of state Condoleezza Rice. The convention gave rapt attention as she
worked from her own notes instead of using a teleprompter and provided a
detailed view of future policy challenges: ‘Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan
understand this reality: Our well-being at home and our leadership abroad are
inextricably linked.’”
Senator Getty reported last Thursday that Republican
candidate for vice-president of the United States, Wisconsin 1st
congressional district Representative Paul Ryan said at the beginning of his
keynote address, “After four years of
getting the run-around, America needs a turnaround, and the man for the job is
Governor Mitt Romney…”
“Those who follow
Congress know Ryan as the policy guy,” observed Senator Getty, but at the
convention, “he proved that he is ready for the national stage. He tactfully
offered a stinging rebuke of the Obama Administration with a focus on the
Romney plan for economic recovery and achieving a balanced budget...
Gov. Scott Walker of
Wisconsin was another highlight of the week for the Maryland delegation, said
Senator Getty. “Walker appeared at the delegation breakfast on the morning
after his friend and Wisconsin colleague Paul Ryan delivered his floor speech
to accept the vice presidential nomination.
“Walker teased the
Maryland delegation that there is a ‘Cheese head Revolution’ going on in
America with three young ‘Reagan Republicans’ who grew up within 30 miles of
each other rising to prominent roles in the national, state and party positions…
Paul Ryan as candidate for vice president, Walker as governor and Reince Priebus
as chairman of the Republican National Committee...
“In a presentation
similar to his speech before the full convention on Tuesday, Walker described
how Wisconsin has added jobs and lowered unemployment over the past two years
under his leadership. When 44 of 50 states saw an increase in unemployment last
month, Wisconsin was instead a leader in job growth. Their success has been
part of his administration's pro-business agenda of lower taxes and less
governmental restrictions. He emphasized that these are the same pro-business
policies that will be the mainstay of a Romney-Ryan administration that will
lead America to economic recovery and restore our greatness.”
Another highlight of
the 2012 convention according to Senator Getty “was the many featured speakers
that represent the younger generation of Republican leaders. The best example
was Florida Senator Marco Rubio who (was) elected to the U.S. Senate in 2010.
“His nominating
speech could have been a keynote address for any other evening of the convention.
He offered one of the best summaries of the Obama administration when, after
listing the failed economic programs of the last 4 years, Rubio said, ‘These
are tired and old big government ideas. Ideas that people come to America to
get away from. Ideas that threaten to make America more like the rest of the
world, instead of helping the world become more like America.
“Romney is not known
as a great orator and the national media had set a very high bar for this speech
to be considered successful,” said Senator Getty. “I felt he leaped over that
bar with much room to spare. He was humble but emphatic that being an excellent
business leader is an honorable career in America. He was emotional in talking
about his family that displayed his human side.
“Romney was critical
of the present administration but did so by expressing his own policy goals.
Citing a plan to make American energy efficient by 2020, Romney said of Obama,
‘His plan to raise taxes on small business won't add jobs, it will eliminate them;
His assault on coal and gas and oil will send energy and manufacturing jobs to
China.’
“Romney assessed the
hype surrounding Obama's candidacy of hope and change in 2008 to as the leading
factor for political disappointment today, ‘You know there's something wrong
with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had was
the day you voted for him. President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise
of the oceans and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your
family.’”
In reference to the
negative attacks on his business accomplishments, Romney retorted, “In America,
we celebrate success. We don't apologize for success.”
In a carefully
crafted closing, Romney provided the vision that I believe will resonate with
voters this November, remarked Senator Getty, “If I am elected President of
these United States, I will work with all my energy and soul to restore that
America, to lift our eyes to a better future. That future is our destiny. That
future is out there. It is waiting for us. Our children deserve it, our nation
depends upon it, the peace and freedom of the world require it. And with your
help we will deliver it. Let us begin that future together tonight.”
Many agree with
Senator Getty’s analysis of the campaign between Governor Romney and President Obama.
That it will ultimately be decided according to who, a majority of the voters
believe “has the ability to guide the nation through the next coming worldwide
economic downturn.
“If Americans think that
class warfare is the right approach, then Barack Obama will be re-elected.”
If, on the other
hand, according to Senator Getty, “Americans believe that expanding
opportunities to succeed is the best way forward, then Mitt Romney will be
sworn in on January 20, 2013…”
I’m just saying

Senator Joe Getty’s Tampa convention report – part one
Senator Joe Getty’s Tampa convention report – part one
By Kevin E. Dayhoff, Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Last Thursday, September 20, 2012, Senator Joe Getty,
R-Carroll and Baltimore Counties, shared insights, pictures, and anecdotes that
he had gathered from attending the recent Republican National Convention in
Tampa Florida.
At the pre-election breakfast, September 20, in Westminster,
Senator Getty also made some observations about the upcoming general election
in Carroll County,
Several hundred attended the early morning presentation,
including four of the five Republican Carroll County commissioners, Haven
Shoemaker, David Roush, Doug Howard, and Robin Frazier.
Maryland Delegate Justin Ready, a Republican from Carroll
County, and a rising star in the Maryland General Assembly, attended, as did
Senators E. J. Pipkin, R-Maryland Eastern Shore and Allan Kittleman, R-Howard
County.
Many in the audience appreciated the comments of District 8
congressional candidate Ken Timmerman.
It was especially delightful to see former Maryland State
Senator and retired Circuit Court Judge Ray Beck in attendance.
Senator Getty’s thoughtful and well-prepared program
included a narrated slide show of his experiences attending the convention.
He began, in part, with a series of pictures documenting a media
bias incident which involved an unpleasant interaction between members of the
Maryland Delegation to the convention and CBS
News of the contemporary ‘Gotcha Media.’
“About 30-seconds,” into former Massachusetts’ Governor Mitt
Romney’s acceptance speech, a reporter for CBS
News, stationed in the aisle by the Maryland delegation pronounced
prophetically into microphone that Governor Romney had failed to rally his base
support… had failed to rally the convention behind him…
As Senator Getty explained, she said this just seconds after
he had begun his speech. Louis
M. Pope, a national committeeman of the Maryland Republican Party, who was
seated essentially right beside the reporter, objected loudly.
“You can’t say that,” Mr. Pope announced…
Unhappy over the unplanned challenge to her carefully
prepared script, written well in advance of Governor Romney’s speech, the
reporter loudly responded and bit of an unpleasant exchange followed.
I experienced, first hand, several examples of blatant, in
your face, media bias at the Republican National Convention in September 2008
at the “Xcel Energy Center” in St. Paul Minnesota.
Find my Tentacle coverage
of the 2008 Republican National Convention in TheTentacle.com here: Friday,
September 12, 2008, “A Little
Convention History,” and Thursday, September 11, 2008, “Eloquent Prose –
Excellent Friends,” and here, Wednesday, September 10, 2008, “The Four “E’s”
of the GOP Convention.”
I’m here to tell you, that to explore the concept of media bias intellectually – or emotionally is
one thing. But until you have actually witnessed media bias, you cannot fathom
how upsetting it is to see and hear it with your own eyes and ears. There is
something so fundamentally unfair – so un-American about it that it shakes you
to your very core.
As for the current presidential election campaign coverage
by the major elite media; no matter what the situation or the scenario, just
like the CBS reporter in Senator Getty’s example – the story has already been
written with all the Democrat Party talking points included – all the reporter
needs to do is cut and paste and press print…
Moreover, the elite media will cover
for each other and the president. So, for those out there wondering how can
the CBS reporter get away with that behavior? The answer is, because she can.
No organization or individual in the elite progressive media will challenge a
colleague or hold each other accountable for their dereliction of professional
duties and responsibilities…
For some additional perspective of Senator Getty’s
presentation last Thursday please understand that Senator Getty remains, along
with Maryland Senator David Brinkley, R-Frederick County, and Senator
Kittleman, among the most-respected elected officials in Annapolis.
Perhaps Senator Kittleman best explained the significance of
Senator Getty’s keen observations, “Joe Getty does not get up to speak in
Annapolis unless he has something to say… He always does his homework and he
knows the issues…”
Last Thursday, Senator Getty’s informative presentation was positive.
Nevertheless, there is a “sense of urgency in this election,” explained Senator
Getty. That is the … “most prominent theme there and in discussions with people
at home - people are” worried…
“On a more positive note, “Gov. Matt Mead of Wyoming also
spoke to Maryland Republicans about the leadership that America needs NOW -
This country has a lot of problems. We need leadership, not in 4 a years, or 8
years… We need it now…”
“The toughest job of the convention,” said Senator Getty,
belonged to “Ann Romney, the wife of Mitt Romney. She had to offer a personal
view of her husband's career with being overly sentimental or superficial. She
did an excellent job and energized the entire convention floor.”
As for Ms. Romney’s speech, Senator Getty remarked, Gov.
Mead shared with us his wife’s opinion about Ann Romney's speech the prior
evening: “It was a message to the women of American and I needed my wife's
perspective - as the first lady of a state, she has never heard anything better
than Ann Romney's speech.”
“Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey who implored the audience
to elect Mitt Romney as the candidate with the experience to create jobs,
ignite the private sector economy and restore America's greatness. He was very
blunt: US needs an adult conversation… That Obama should quit the pandering…
America needs strong leadership…”
At this point in the morning, I was already quite sad that I sat-out this
convention due to a series of scheduling conflicts. And I felt this way
long before Senator Getty shared his observations of Paul Ryan’s, the Republican
candidate for vice-president and currently Wisconsin 1st
congressional district Representative - and Governor Romney’s acceptance speeches
- which we will cover in another column soon.
Until then, please understand that now more than ever, the
old adage; do not believe everything you read in the newspaper has never been truer…
I’m just saying.

It was less than six years ago that Matthew Seidler accepted
his diploma as a member of Westminster High School's Class of 2006.
He is recalled by classmates as a good friend, serious
worker and talented artist and video production student.
It was less than six months ago that Matthew Seidler was
healthy, happy and pursuing a job that his family said he felt he was called to
do — serving in the U.S. Air Force as a member of an elite explosive ordinance
disposal squadron.
Yet this Monday, May 28, Airman 1st Class Matthew Seidler
will be remembered on the first Memorial Day since his death in January, while serving
his country in Afghanistan.
The Westminster native will be one of seven Marylanders

On Monday, May 28, Carroll County will mark its 145th annual
observance of Memorial Day with an expanded parade and ceremonies at
the Westminster Cemetery.
In 1967, our community noted the 100th anniversary of
Westminster's Memorial Day observances. According to local historian Jay
Graybeal, who wrote about the occasion for the Historical Society of Carroll
County in 1997, "Participants came from sixteen states and one newspaper
estimated that the crowd numbered 15,000 people."
Ironically and tragically, it was just one year after that
centennial celebration that Air National Guard Lt. Col. Sherman E. Flanagan
Jr., 38, a Westminster attorney — and a member of the 100th anniversary
committee — was shot down and killed while flying a mission over the
Demilitarized Zone in Vietnam on July 21, 1968. He was flying an F-100
"Super Sabre" jet fighter at the time of his death.
According to an article in The Baltimore Sun's Carroll
County edition, "Flanagan was believed to be the first Guardsman to die in
Vietnam who was called to duty during that period." … http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0527-20120526,0,2171783.story#tugs_story_display

On May 28, Carroll County and Westminster will mark the 145th
observance of Memorial Day with an expanded parade and three-days of
activities — thanks to all the hard work of American Legion Carroll Post No. 31 and leaders
like Skip Amass, coordinator of this year's activities.
The tradition of the parade and ceremony in Westminster
began in 1868, when Mary Bostwick Shellman followed General John A. Logan's May
5, 1868, General Order No. 11 — which called upon people to adorn the graves of
Union soldiers with flowers.
She gathered a group of schoolchildren for that task, and
they walked from the old schoolhouse on Center Street to Westminster Cemetery.
As with all the many stories in Carroll, the hands and
hearts of countless individuals and community organizations have guided and
nurtured the observances over the years. The list is long and celebrated.
However, one of the names historically synonymous with

Next Monday is Memorial Day. For many it is more than a holiday, it is a day when we gather as a community to express our gratitude to our country’s men and women in uniform, who by their sacrifice cannot be with us to enjoy the day… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5122
This year, Westminster and Carroll County will mark its 145th observance of Memorial Day with an expanded parade and four-days of activities.
The tradition of the parade and ceremony in Westminster began in 1868, when Mary Bostwick Shellman followed General John A. Logan’s May 5, 1868, General Order No. 11 to adorn the graves of Union soldiers with flowers. She gathered a group of schoolchildren for the task and they walked from the old schoolhouse on Center Street to Westminster Cemetery.
[…]
Last week I wrote about a local community leader, Atlee Willis Wampler, Jr., who served as the Westminster Memorial Day parade marshal for more than 44 years, from just after World War II until he passed away March 11, 1991.
[…]
That said, I have grown exhausted with the gut-wrenching existentialism and overwhelming fatigue that accompanies covering military funerals for the paper.
I was quite struck by a May 6 article in The Washington Post by Ian Shapira, “Barbara Robbins: A slain CIA secretary’s life and death,” about a little-known Vietnam War casualty from a bombing that occurred in Saigon March 30, 1965.
According to the article, “The CIA director revealed only a few details about the 21-year-old woman, a secretary among spies. In the agency’s annual memorial service for employees killed on the job, then-Director Leon E. Panetta announced that a new name had been inscribed with calligraphy inside the CIA’s Book of Honor: Barbara Annette Robbins, who had volunteered to go to Saigon during the Vietnam War…
[…]
The story of Ms. Robbins is compelling and evocative. Yet for me, what I found particularly haunting was the black and white picture of a very young American, in a far-off land, defending our freedoms, staring right at us.

'Skip' Amass leads the charge for Westminster's 145th Memorial Day observance
Keeping the focus on community, service ... and good weather

Not long after the sun comes up on Memorial Day, and hours before Westminster's 145th Memorial Day parade kicks off at 9:30 a.m., Arnold "Skip" Amass will be on site, helping set up the TV cameras and tying up last-minute loose ends.
Most of all, he'll be praying for good weather during an event that he's been busy planning almost from the moment that last year's 144th Memorial Day parade wrapped up.
"To give you some idea of the scope of this project, the committee that's working on this with me has about 145 people on it," said Amass, who for the past 15 years has also been the voice of the parade, providing commentary for Carroll County's public access TV channel 19's live coverage of the event.
This is the first year he's taken on the far more demanding role of principal coordinator.
"The people on the committee, who meet at the American Legion, represent just about every organization and every government in the county, including the library, the farm museum, the police departments," said Amass, 80, himself a Korean War veteran and long-time member of Westminster's Carroll Post 31 American Legion Post… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/ph-ce-skip-amass-0604-20120523,0,1578592,full.story
