New Windsor Heritage Committee Summer's End Home and Garden Tour on September 10, 2016 https://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2016/08/new-windsor-heritage-committee-summers.html

My next column will be on the upcoming New Windsor Heritage Committee Summer's End Home and Garden Tour on September 10, 2016 from 1:00 to 5:00p.m.

I interviewed Frank Batavick by email and one of the great resources he provided me about the event is this press release about the tour.

Sadly, many of my print stories have not been making it to the web – but if it does, it will be located here: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/search/dispatcher.front?Query=Kevin+Dayhoff&target=all&spell=on

NEW WINDSOR HERITAGE ANNOUNCES 2016 SUMMER'S END HOME & GARDEN TOUR

New Windsor Heritage is sponsoring a Summer's End Home and Garden Tour on September 10, 2016 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. The event features five historic homes and gardens, a contemporary home with extensive plantings, a restored 1854 school house, an 18th century log house, and a jewel of an 1897 church. Each site will include plein air artists working in a variety of media, and Master Gardeners will be on-hand to answer questions about the gardens on tour and attendees’ own trees, shrubs, and plants.

Homes include an 1813 high-style, Federal era, three story bank house/villa and an early 19th century Piedmont Plantation house. Owners and docents will be on-hand to share each house's history. A special attraction is the Springdale School where a teacher and students in period costumes will conduct lessons derived from 19th century textbooks.

Each visitor will receive a tour booklet containing descriptions of the homes and gardens and a map to the sites. The booklet will serve as a ticket to all of the locations. Admission is $15 per person, and children under 12 are free. 

Fees may be paid on the day of the tour starting at 12:45 p.m. at the New Windsor Heritage Museum, 207 Main Street, right next to New Windsor State Bank. Drinks, snacks, and rest room facilities will be available.

For additional information about the tour and the houses and gardens featured, please contact Dori or Frank Batavick at 410-848-5263.


The New Windsor Heritage Committee is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization founded in 1986 and dedicated to the preservation and documentation of all aspects of the history of New Windsor, Maryland. It was chartered exclusively for a wide-range of educational and charitable purposes related to this mission.

Today's verses come from Deuteronomy 31:8 and Isaiah 52:12

Deuteronomy 31:8- The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.

Saturday evening, August 20, 2016, our friends from France visited the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 - after we visited the Giant grocery store. When Caroline and visit other countries, we always want to visit grocery stores and fire stations. Apparently Cora Deruette, Nathalie Pouteau de Brucan, and Guillemette Pouteau de Brucan share our interest in grocery stores and enjoyed our visit to the fire station. The firefighters at the station were really good hosts and expressed an interest in the three French girls joining the fire company. Just saying.

Sunday, August 21, 2016. 8:45 am service at St. John Catholic Church, Westminster Md.

Sunday, August 21, 2016. 8:45 am service at St. John Catholic Church, Westminster Md. The new priest, Father Mark is awesome.

Father Mark's message this morning was to discuss the Olympics, the number of metals won by  the nations with the highest metal count - and the accomplishments of the athletes. Can you imagine what it would be like if we gave all the athletes a certificate of participation? As a member of the church, we cannot simply just show up and get a participation trophy. Keep your eyes on the prize, Jesus Christ. When did mediocre become good enough? We have to become the best version of ourselves.

We have to stop the participation trophy complex from running our lives. We run the race to win. We cannot win the race if we get a trophy for just showing up.

Thanks for the Calissons d'Aix amandes du bassin méditerranéen

Fri. Aug. 19, 2016 Thanks for the Calissons d'Aix
amandes du bassin méditerranéen. They are just as good as Pop Tarts - Fabriqué à Aix-en-Provence dans le respect de la tradition, ce Calisson est une spécialité emblématique de notre région. Mariage d'amandes du bassin méditerranéen et de melon confit de Provence, dressé sur un lit d'hostie et nappé de glace royale, c'est cette recette qui aurait redonné, selon la légende, le sourire à la Reine Jeanne de Laval lors de son mariage avec le Roi René Ier d'Anjou en 1454. Confiserie du Roy René à Aix-en-Provence. https://www.refletsdefrance.fr/produits/epicerie-sucree/confiseries/calissons-d-aix-amandes-du-bassin-mediterraneen

Father Tood Devilbiss takes confession from congregants

Father Tood Devilbiss takes confession from congregants that have gathered in his confessional booth. Wed. August 17, 2016 "Father forgive me for I have sinned…" Oh, I am so sorry that was a discussion over a "transmission" - not a "transgression." Okay, well move along - nothing to see here folks.

Former mayor breaking rocks on a bread and water diet



Breaking rocks on a bread and water diet

August 17, 2016

Today, the former mayor may be found breaking rocks on a bread and water diet. Wed. Aug. 17, 2016

According to an article, “The Tramp Problem in Cities” in Vol. 4, No. 3 edition of “City Government - Municipal Journal and Public Works,”

The article begins by explaining, “An inquiry from Hon. Peter J. Carolus, judge of the police court of St. Joseph, Mo., to the League of American Municipalities, in regard to the tramp problem, has brought forth he following information and suggestions:

[…]

Mayor Robert J. Saltsman, Erie, Pa. reports “Every city ought to have a work-house or stone pile for tramps or vagrants; we have mothing of the sort, but work our tramps in summer cleaning the streets. If we could get our county commissioners to join us we would build a work-house at once.”

F. G. Pierce, the mayor of Marshalltown, Ia. says, “We consider the tramp a good thing… We give any person who applies to any of the police officers one night’s lodging in the station house, and if the tramp is found in the city the next night he is run and given five days on bread and water.

“In the summer time we work the tramps on a small city park under way to completion. We find, however, that there is only one way to deal with this question, and it is a very good solution to the question, and that is the bread and water diet. Just as long as cities give tramps a good lodging and good meals they will be troubled, and just as soon as they begin to give them bread the bread and water diet they will give that city a wide berth. I assure you.”
