http://www.carrollcountyartscouncil.org/eventdetail.asp?event_id=1227

In the Director’s Hall Gallery, “Puros: Vistas of Cuba” will feature works of art created by five local photographers that depict people, places and perspectives that are purely Cuban. The photos were taken during their May 2014 Cuban adventure sponsored by the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce.

The term "puros" refers to an authentic Cuban cigar, which has been contraband in the US since the trade embargo initiated in the early 1960s. That same embargo also strictly limits travel between the two countries.

The artists exhibiting are Stella Fouts (Millers, MD), Sharon Hafner Yingling (Westminster, MD), Don Hobart (Westminster, MD), Becki Maurio (Westminster, MD), and Mike McMullin (Westminster, MD).

FIRE DEPARTMENT PARAMEDIC KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY

Passing along news from Chief Billy & FireFighterCloseCalls.

I am sure details will follow. Our thoughts and prayers are with our brothers & sisters in Belair tonight.

FIRE DEPARTMENT PARAMEDIC KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY-UNUSUAL STRUCK BY APPARATUS AT SCENE

Tuesday, January 6, 2015 - We regret to pass on to you some tragic news from Maryland. At 1350 hrs TODAY (16/6.2015) the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company (Harford Co, MD) was alerted for a motor vehicle collision with injury on Patterson Mill Rd.

It was reported that a vehicle had run off the roadway into an embankment and the injured subject was in a nearby residence. On the fire departments arrival it was determined that the best access to the patient was via four wheel drive assist due to the extreme weather and driveway conditions. Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company Utility 373, a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD equipped with a snow plow responded for the four wheel drive request.

As the utility vehicle proceeded down the driveway it began to slide. At some point during the slide, a member of the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company, a paramedic provider, was struck by the utility. He was treated at the scene and transported in grave condition to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injuries. Indications point to weather being a major factor in this incident. More to follow. Our condolences to all affected. RIP.

Knowing Councilman Kirby Delauter as we do, we weren't surprised that he threatened The Frederick News-Post with a lawsuit because we had, he says — and we're not making this up — been putting Kirby Delauter's name in the paper without Kirby Delauter’s authorization. Attorneys would be called, Kirby Delauter said.

In fact, we spent quite some time laughing about it. Kirby Delauter, an elected official; Kirby Delauter, a public figure? Surely, Kirby Delauter can't be serious? Kirby Delauter’s making a joke, right?

Round about then, we wondered, if it’s not a joke, how should we now refer to Kirby Delauter if we can't use his name (Kirby Delauter)? Could we get away with an entire editorial of nothing but “Kirby Delauter” repeated over and over again -- Kirby Delauter, Kirby Delauter, Kirby Delauter? OK, imagine we agreed because of temporary madness or something funny in the water that week, how would we reference "Kirby Delauter" and do our job as journalists without running afoul of our lack of authorization?

The Huffington Post calls it “The Streisand Effect:” http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2013/04/economist-explains-what-streisand-effect

(The Streisand Effect got its name when Barbra Streisand attempted to sue a photographer, who while documenting California coastal erosion also snapped her beachfront domicile -- which the singer-actress viewed as a breach of privacy. Ironically, it was her lawsuit, and not the photographer's compendium of visual research, that ended up drawing attention to the photos of Streisand's home, as well as getting this "effect" named after her. See also: Dan Snyder.)

Today's story of the Streisand Effect and its discontents takes place in Frederick County, Maryland, where a man named Kirby Delauter is the county councilman elected to represent District 5. Seems that Delauter took umbrage at a story that appeared in the Frederick News-Post on Jan. 3, concerning -- of all things! -- the assignment and availability of parking spaces to county council members.

Delauter is actually just a bit player in this story, which largely concerns the parking space grievances aired by another councilman named Billy Shreve, with whom Delauter agrees. But Delauter apparently has nursed a grudge with the reporter of the parking space story, Bethany Rodgers, and he decided that the time was ripe for him to flip his lid on Facebook, in full view of the world.

In so doing, Delauter made one of the most idiotic demands I have ever heard in my life: "Shame on Bethany Rodgers for an unauthorized use of my name and my reference in her article today. She contacted me by phone yesterday, I did not return her call and did not authorize any use of my name or reference in her article."

Nah, son, that's not how this works. Let me kick it to UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh for a brief legal explanation, because he's making the best fun for all of us with his comment:

On Monday, January 5, 2015 I got a scam-phone call from 909 387 2418. Then, the very next day, got another scam phone call from 602-346-9758.

Update January 6, 2015

After hardly ever getting spam phone calls on our cellphones for many years, in the last two days we have received two unwanted sales calls – calls that, in reality were probably attempts to commit fraud…

Today, the phone call was from 602-346-9758. I answered it. Yes, I understand that I probably should not have answered it…

The computer-generated robocall immediately began, “Attention, this is not a sales call. You have been referred by a friend to receive a free wireless system. There is no cost for this system."

What a load of crap… I did wait for the opportunity to block it.

Phone number 909 387 2418 is a scam

Monday, January 5, 2015

Do NOT answer a phone call in which the caller id indicates that the number is 909 387 2418. I got the call earlier today.

Fortunately, I have a policy that if you are not in my phone system, I usually, more often than not, do not answer the phone. This policy has saved me an enormous amount of time. Furthermore, this policy has probably saved me from many scams.

Today I got a phone call from 909 387 2418. I did not answer it. Afterwards, a quick search on the internet indicated it was indeed spam. For example, http://www.scamcallfighters.com/scam-cal:

“Scam Phone Number 9093872418, Robocall 909-387-2418. Important message about your credit card: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#safe=off&q=909-387-2418

“Calls and would not leave any message. Picked up and found a recording. "Important message about your credit card. Press 1 to speak to a representative". Clicked 1 hoping that I could get them to take me off, to escape the harassment but the line went dead. That's it! Waste of time... I've blocked this number for good” http://www.scamcallfighters.com/scam-call-9093872418-Robocall-909-387-2418--Important-message-about-your-credit-card--Credit---Debit--ATM-Card-Fraud-17791.html

Another post by “David Fights, Lead Investigator for Scamcallfighters,” reports, “This must be the "lower your interest rate" scammer. It's good that the darned system is not working! That should save the gullible from getting scammed.

“By enticing people with offer to lower interest rate, the scammers get the victim to reveal his personal & banking info apart from credit card details!

“According to the FTC, the companies behind these Card Services Offers can’t do anything for you that you can’t do for yourself, for free. If you are not able to get the rates reduces with your card issuer, neither would they. These scammers try to obtain your card details and will steal money as ‘fees’.

“However, FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule prohibits companies that sell relief services like these rate reduction scams on the phone from charging a fee before they settle or reduce your debt.

“You should file complaint with FTC, whenever you get a ‘Card Services’ call.

I have no expectation of privacy

January 5, 2015

KED

My good friend Richard Weldon reports that he actually read the Facebook privacy “policies established…. for the use of” Facebook…

I am one of Richard’s biggest fans, but in light of the fact that he actually read the Facebook policy; his stature in my life rose to the level of my appreciation of Thich Nhat Hanh

Richard essentially reports that, alas, we really have no privacy – which is no surprise to me. I. am. Shocked. Shocked. I say.

I have not read the new privacy policy. I have read – and written a number of privacy policies in the past. They essentially say, in a very complicated and Orwellian manner; that we no longer have any expectation of privacy.

I wrote back to Richard…

Richard - long before Facebook, folks like you and I and other elected or appointed officials lost any expectation of privacy many years ago... I could tell you stories that would raise the hair on the back of your neck.

I simply assume that all my mail and e-mails were/are read and my phone calls hacked by the 'News of the World.'

While in office, most of my confidential memos got leaked - I finally started to have fun with that and would put out confidential memos about things like the city buying attack helicopters, starting a coal gasification plant, dating Madonna, proclamations for "Mow Your Lawn Day,' and Jimi Hendrix' birthday, a top-secret report called 'The Winchester Report,' and trademarking our city seal - all of which were picked-up and reported upon by the newspapers...

I even had a FOIA filed for the 'The Winchester Report' - that never-ever existed, except in a bogus-confidential memo... LOL. And on that note, at least I try to avoid FB messaging...

Re-elect Kevin Dayhoff to the Westminster City Council May 9th, 2023

Hi, I am Kevin Dayhoff, and I would like to be re-elected - along with Councilmembers Ann Gilbert and Greg Pecoraro - to remain in the three Westminster Common Council seats that are available in the upcoming May 9th city election. We offer experience, energy, accessibility, vision, fiscally prudent, and socially responsible leadership. It would be an honor to have the opportunity to take another turn as a Westminster elected official. This has been paid for by Dayhoff for Westminster, Caroline Babylon - Treasurer.
