Taylorsville United Methodist Church: The Story Chap 9 Intro Accepting Foreigners


The Story Chapter 9 Introduction

OCT 30, 2012

Ruth gleaning the fields of grain.

Chapter 9 continues in The Story with a family saga that is so real that it could almost be any of our families. This story could be placed in almost any place or context. It is about a family of Israelites that could not find food during the famine and so they went to a foreign country, Moab to find work and food. Moab is across the Jordan river from their home village of Bethlehem.

After Naomi’s husband and sons die she decides to go back home to Bethlehem, one daughter-in-law, Ruth comes with her.

Let’s tell the story of Ruth a little differently: There is famine in the land, the family of 3 was starving, so they left Mexico, El Salvador, (you fill in the place) and they went to the United States where there were jobs. The boys marry local women, but then the dad and the boys all die, leaving all three women on their own. The Mom decides to go back to Mexico; do the daughters-in-law go back with her?

[…]

This foreign woman ultimately became part of the genealogy of Jesus, the ultimate Redeemer!

Jim Joyner – Explore Carroll: Carroll County officials following Hurricane Sandy's path, BGE urges preparation


Carroll County officials following Hurricane Sandy's path, BGE urges preparation

Storm expected to impact area from Sunday to Tuesday


Officials for Carroll County Emergency Operations said Thursday they are monitoring the projected path of Hurricane Sandy, and that weather models from the National Weather Service indicate the hurricane will strike land somewhere between New York and Maryland — impacting the area Sunday evening, and perhaps lasting through as Tuesday.

Officials said high winds and rain are expected and may cause some flooding and power outages.

During the storm, the county will post weather related information on various county websites and social media outlets, and will also communicate with the media.

Below is a list of links to obtain hurricane related information:

Neetzan Zimmerman at Gawker.com: Lindsay Lohan Has a Plan For Defeating Hurricane ‘Sally’: Think Happy Thoughts

Neetzan Zimmerman at Gawker.com: Lindsay Lohan Has a Plan For Defeating Hurricane ‘Sally’: Think Happy Thoughts


Despite the National Weather Service issuing death threats and Mayor Bloomberg issuing threat-boners, Lindsay Lohan is chilling in bliss wondering what everyone is getting all excited about.

"WHY is everyone in SUCH a panic about hurricane (i'm calling it Sally)...?" the Liz & Dick star tweeted yesterday evening to her 4.5 million followers. "Stop projecting negativity! Think positive and pray for peace."
Threat neutralized.

But if you're still into the whole "protecting your loved ones by preparing adequately for a massive and unpredictable storm style that has already claimed dozens of lives," Lindsay has you covered: "I love Doritos."

LOL – please go to: http://gawker.com/5955725/lindsay-lohan-has-a-plan-for-defeating-hurricane-sally-think-happy-thoughts to read more especially the various comments and reactions to Neetzan Zimmerman’s article on Gawker.com… I’m just saying…



Update: No, It is not known as to whether the Carroll County Office of Public Safety channeled the soothing calm of Lindsay Lohan... We'll ask and get back with ya... And yes, the Carroll County Emergency Operations Center swung into action early to plan and stay on top of the storm and have kept citizens well-informed by way of the “Carroll County Office of Public Safety” Facebook page and @CarrollCoMD Twitter page... They are awesome. God bless them for their hard work under very difficult conditions.

English as the official language proposed in Carroll County MD


“English Only” Up in Carroll County by Kevin E. Dayhoff October 24, 2012

In Carroll County, a hearing is scheduled in New Windsor on October 30 to gather public input on a proposed ordinance, similar to the one passed by Frederick County officials in February to designate English as the official language of the county.

In Frederick County, the proposal passed by a vote of 4-1 and, according to the Associated Press, “requires official actions of Frederick County to be taken only in English.”

Of course, nevermind that federal and state laws mandate that various government agencies offer assistance to non-English speakers.

If a predominant number of the members of the Frederick and Carroll County Boards of Commissioners were from the Democrat Party, Republicans would be screaming bloody-murder about such legislation being a waste of taxpayers’ time and money… Oh, well, nevermind, moving right along here…

Although the idea for such an ordinance in Carroll County has been discussed since last winter, or earlier, the proposal was introduced by the Board of Commissioners September 27.

The entire kerfuffle over “English only” piqued my curiosity since our area of the state has only spoken English for approximately 25 percent of our history… In our modern history, anecdotal accounts indicate that German was the predominant language in Carroll up to around the time of the Civil War, especially in the northern and western portions of the county.

My thoughts were immediately channeled into a column I wrote October 20 in The Baltimore Sun, “Strictly speaking, Carroll's predominant language was once German.”

“In October 1833, in the area we now know as Carroll County, a vote was taken as to whether or not we should form a new county in Maryland from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties.”

Much of the opposition to forming a new county came from the predominant German population in Taneytown, Manchester and Hampstead. “Some of those folks were not really sure they wanted to form a new county – especially with a minority that spoke English and owned slaves, and well, perhaps were not as well educated or cultured as the German population.

“There was a great deal of concern that the English speakers would never learn German – and thus would exploit the generosity of the German majority. Paying extra taxes to support the English speakers was also of great concern…

Ultimately, the October 1833 referendum was defeated.” … http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5414

Harford County Executive David Craig addresses a McDaniel College panel


Harford County Executive (Rep.) David Craig addresses a McDaniel College panel during an October 2, 2012 presentation on the 2012 presidential election.

Kevin Dayhoff The Tentacle Dialogue on the Presidential Election



Dialogue on the Presidential Election Elections 2012, Elections 2012 presidential, Politics debates


Recently, political science professor Dr. Herb Smith, the McDaniel College director of government relations, brought together a distinguished panel at the college in Westminster for a local “Dialogue on the Presidential Election.”

Just as early voting has begun in many states, and the date of the traditional fall general election is within weeks, now is the time that our country turns to the podium and stage for the debate edition of presidential reality theatre.

[…]

Harford County Executive (Rep.) David Craig addresses a McDaniel College panel during an October 2, 2012 presentation on the 2012 presidential election.

On October 2, the day before the much-ballyhooed presidential debate in Denver, I particularly enjoyed the “Dialogue on Presidential Election” debate forum at McDaniel College.

The event brought together my friends Maryland Delegate (Dem.) Samuel (Sandy) Rosenberg and Harford County Executive (Rep.) David Craig for a discussion moderated by McDaniel President Roger Casey.

Instead of an audience of 70 million, about 125 students gathered at the Decker Center Forum on the college campus to witness County Executive Craig and Delegate Rosenberg answer questions and provide thoughtful insights into the many complicated issues that are part of the difficult matrix that must be negotiated before one makes a decision as to how to mark his or her ballot on November 6.

For an hour and a half, County Executive Craig and Delegate Rosenberg discussed sixteen questions from panelists that included McDaniel faculty members, Dr. Julie Routzahn, an economics and business administration professor and Dr. Debora Johnson-Ross, a political science professor.

Also on the panel were Maryland Public Television’s Jeff Salkin and my former editor, Jim Lee, who has served at the helm of the Carroll County Times for 15-years.

[…]

Many have been surprised that the Republican presidential challenger, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, did as well as he did during the first presidential debate in Denver on October 3.

Writing for The Slatest, Josh Voorhees penned on Monday, “Was Romney's Debate Win the Most Convincing in History? It Looks That Way.” According to Mr. Voorhees, “Gallup's latest survey shows just how overwhelmingly the American public thought Mr. Romney bested President Obama onstage in Denver last Wednesday: 72 percent of debate watchers gave the win to the GOP challenger with only 20 percent seeing the president as the winner. That 52-point gap was the largest the polling outfit has ever seen, topping even Bill Clinton's 42-point margin over George H. W. Bush in 1992…”

For those who missed the debate, it is also a great read. The transcript of “President Obama and Mitt Romney’s remarks at the first presidential debate …,” has been published by The Washington Post.

For a concise and insightful commentary on the debate by TheTentacle.com writer, former Maryland State Del. Rick Weldon, read, “A Slam-Dunk Election Snapshot.” “Employing language familiar to basketball fans, the first presidential debate of the 2012 election cycle resulted in a slam dunk for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney,” says Delegate Weldon… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5389

And then the other day, I was trying to find a few samples of the order for a meeting agenda…. And I came across this great cheat-sheet on “Robert’s Rules of Order Motions Chart”

So, all for all my fellow parliamentarian-good-governance-colleague-geeks please enjoy.

Pen and ink artist Stan Gilmore to exhibit at Off Track Art


Please join us at Off Track Art on November 2, 2012 at 5:30 in the evening for a reception for our next guest artist, Stanley F. Gilmore, Jr.

Mr. Gilmore specializes in pen and ink drawings of various buildings and structures found in and around Carroll County. He enjoys this medium as it suits the character and structure of many historic buildings.

The drawings are all limited and numbered edition prints with each subject not just rendered in ink, but many are hand colored with watercolors as well. A few different subjects other than Carroll County scenes will be on exhibit and for sale as well.

In addition, Mr. Gilmore has also illustrated two children’s books for Old Line Publishing, found at Old Line Publishing.com, Amazon.com, and Barnes & Noble.com.

One book is “The Little Match Girl,” by Hans Christian Anderson, and the other is “The Birth of Christ,” as found in the gospel of Luke. These two books will be available for purchase and signing at the opening of his art show on November 2, 2012.

Mr. Gilmore is now a retired art teacher who taught elementary, middle school, and high school art for 38 years in various schools in the county.

He is presently teaching art at the Carroll Lutheran School K - 8, one day a week, and varied drawing classes in the evenings at the Carroll Community College in their Continuing Education Program.

He is a graduate of The Maryland Institute College of Art with a BFA in Art Education, 1970, and Towson University with a MS degree in Instructional Technology, 2000.

“Off Track Art” is an artists’ collective and gallery located in the historic Liberty Building at 11 Liberty Street – next to the railroad tracks, off of the Sentinel parking lot at the corner of West Main St and MD 27-Liberty St - in downtown Westminster, Maryland.

For almost 4-years, the ten partners in the coop have been dedicated to advancing the arts in Westminster as well as the careers, ideas, and artistic visions of its members.

The coop partners include, Kevin Dayhoff, Gail Elwell, Linda Van Hart, Judy Goodyear, Charlotte Laslo, Amanda Beck Mauck, Joyce Schaum, Carolyn Seabolt, Robert Waddell, and Gordon Wickes.

After discussions and organizational meetings in December 2008, Off Track opened its doors in January 2009 and had its grand opening on Feb. 13th, 2009.

Off Track Art’s hours are: Wednesday through Friday, 12 – 6 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m to 5 p.m.
