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.”

Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster, MD USA, welcomed the Trozzo Family to Sunday services last Sunday, June 26, 2016

Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster, MD USA, welcomed the Trozzo Family to Sunday services last Sunday, June 26, 2016

Pastor Eric and Pastor Wendolyn Trozzo and their sons, Dante and Caedmon are visiting with us this weekend. Pastors Eric and Wendolyn are ELCA missionaries stationed in Sabah, Malaysia.

Pastor Eric teaches at the Sabah Theological Seminary. Together they not only demonstrate the love of Jesus to the local people, but they help local Christians strengthen and grow their own witness.

We welcome the visit of the Trozzo family and appreciated their message and their leadership in the 9:00 & 10:30 worship services at Grace Lutheran Church

In his message Pastor Trozzo discussed a concept of several images of Martin Luther: He was a Christian who knew God's grace. He was a pastor who wanted to teach and share God's grace. He cared about the poor. And lastly, Martin Luther was a reformer.

Please join us in welcoming the Trozzo family to Westminster.

October 20, 2013: Carroll County firefighters respond to fire at Vetville in Westminster

 


October 20, 2013: Carroll County firefighters respond to fire at Vetville in Westminster http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2013/10/october-20-2013-carroll-county.html 

By Kevin E. Dayhoff, kevindayhoff@gmail.com Sunday, October 20, 2013

 
Carroll County volunteer firefighters from throughout the county responded Sunday afternoon to a laundry room fire at “Vetville” in the 100 unit block of Wimert Avenue, near Sullivan Avenue and Route 140 in northwest Westminster.

The complex, known locally as “Vetville,” dates back to 1946, when the housing units were built “by the government for the GIs who are attending or will attend Western Maryland College under the GI Bill of Rights,” according to a newspaper account in the now-defunct Democratic Advocate.

“A one-story construction, set up on cement blocks, with a brick-like celetex finish, they will fill the hopes of many GIs who plan to finish their education with their families. The apartments are made up of living room, two bedrooms, two closets and a kitchen, to be fully equipped with sink, stove and refrigerator…”

It is believed that the last fire occurred in Vetville on November 2, 2003, when, “A two-alarm fire … destroyed a four-unit apartment building in Westminster, but its eight residents, including two children, escaped without injuries,” according to an article in the Baltimore Sun.

The short version of my remarks this morning at the Opening ceremonies for the 62nd St. John Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar


This is the short version of my remarks this morning at the Opening ceremonies for the 62nd St. John Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar December 5, 2015 at 8:00 am

By Baltimore Sun writer Kevin E. Dayhoff, the former mayor of Westminster from 2001-2005

This year the bazaar is open from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
43 Monroe Street, Westminster, MD 21157

Good morning. On behalf of Westminster’s past and present elected officials, I would like to welcome you to the 62nd consecutive St. John Christmas Bazaar.

For the past 12-years I have been a journalist at the Baltimore Sun writing mostly history. At my age I am greatly amused that many events that took place in my childhood are now studied as history by today’s school children.

I look forward to the Christmas bazaar every year. When I was very young, the bazaar was part of a family adventure during the Christmas season.

During my high school years from 1969 through 1971, I often attended Mass at St. John with a good friend. I recall when the last Mass was held on February 4, 1968 at the church building on Main Street in town.

Last year when my wife Caroline and I were enjoying lunch at the bazaar with Mary Mussari, I was pleased when John Bryan asked me to speak at this year’s opening. Mr. Bryan told me that recently the ceremony has been dedicated to our servicemen and women – - and that this year we are paying a special recognition to Vietnam Vets.

It was just a few short weeks ago that our community came together to observe Veterans Day. No community does it better than Carroll County.

I served stateside in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1971 to 1973. Although I was not deployed, it has remained a sobering event in my life to have stepped-up the plate, despite a high draft number, signed on the dotted line, and
volunteered to serve during the Vietnam War.

This year, schools set the example for all of Carroll County by commemorating Veterans Day with many thoughtful, and well-planned services and programs.

In recent years Veterans Day has turned more somber. In the past, much of the community came together to celebrate the end of World War One and World War Two, and the Korean War.

Much of the nation saw nothing to celebrate for decades after the end of the Vietnam War. The war had dragged-on for over 19 years - for what seemed an eternity.

After the United States ended its direct involvement in the war on August 15, 1973, veterans were treated with scorn by the American left that proudly heaped insult upon injury upon those who served during the war.

Thankfully, the current youngest generation has seen fit to honor its veterans that have served proudly in the first and second Gulf Wars – and they treat Vietnam veterans with great dignity and respect.

Over 2.7 million Americans served in the Vietnam War. The average age was 19. Of that number, 300,000 were wounded in action, and 75,000 were disabled.

It has been estimated that almost 5 million military personnel and civilians, from all sides, lost their life in the Vietnam War. Of the 58,200 names listed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC, 1,046 are Marylanders who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Although many Vietnam era vets still harbor a deep-seated resentment as to how we were treated, the manner in which we are treated by the youngest generation brings tears to our eyes and has gone a long way to heal the wounds of decades of being abused and ignored.

Today, we pay a special tribute to the eighteen fallen heroes from Carroll County, whose faces are etched in the black granite monument in the Vietnam Memorial Park on Willis Street that was dedicated on May 28, 1990.

We hold dear in our hearts the eighteen names: Ronald Kenny; Christopher Miller, Jr.; Carl Egolf; James Byers; Russell Amoss; Russell Milberry; Everett Justice, Jr.; Michael Kidd; John Feezer; Sherman Flanagan, Jr.; Muriel Groomes; Joseph Oreto; Frederick Magsamen; Franklin Underwood, Jr.; James Zumbrun; Joseph Blickenstaff, Jr.; David Steger; and Herbert Mulkey, Jr.

The faces of the eighteen names on the monument are frozen in time. Some we knew. Some we didn’t. But they were all someone’s son or father or brother or uncle – or a cherished childhood friend. Their faces have been silent for many years, but they all have a story to tell.

Today it is only right to recall the profound words from Ephesians, “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, and be armed with the power of the Spirit, so that we may continue to make the Gospel understandable to those of us, who after many years, still have unanswered questions…”

God Bless and Semper Fi to all our brothers and sisters in uniform that served and died to protect our freedoms - and cannot attend the bazaar. Thank you for having me speak with you today. It was an honor.

Some reflections upon Md. Gov. Marvin Mandel

Md. Gov. Marvin Mandel passed away on Aug. 30, 2015


I was out of town when Md. Gov. Marvin Mandel, 1969-1979, passed away on Sunday August 30, 2015. His passing made me quite sad. He is arguably one of the most influential Maryland elected officials of the 20th Century. And he was one of the first statewide Maryland politicians that I got to meet and interact with and he made quite a good first impression – that was a lasting impression.

An article in the Baltimore Sun on August 31, 2015, “Former Gov. Marvin Mandel dies,” by Michael Dresser and Colin Campbell, explained, “Former Gov. Marvin Mandel, who won acclaim during two tumultuous terms in the State House as one of Maryland's most effective chief executives only to be forced from power on corruption charges in 1977, died Sunday afternoon, his family said. He was 95.”

It is under-reported was that “in 1988 the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that threw out the mail fraud and racketeering convictions of Mr. Mandel and his five co-defendants in the case…” according to the August 31, 2015 article in the Baltimore Sun.

Also, for the most part under-reported, Gov. Mandel was also a pioneering civil rights leader who advocated opening opportunities for qualified women and African-American leaders.

He also pioneered the University of Md. Medical Center shock trauma system and worked hard on health care issues...

Above please find one of the last pictures of me and Gov. Mandel taken November 1, 2011, at the annual Maryland Municipal League fall conference at the Hyatt resort in Cambridge, Md.

Although I no longer remember the particulars, I first met the governor in the early to mid-1970s. He was very approachable, accessible and it was nice to talk with him. He was engaging almost to the point of mesmerizing.

Although I was a student of political science and government of the time, I oddly met him by happenstance on a trip to Annapolis looking for information about my cousin, Del. Wilbur Magin, 1959-1966, and my distant great Uncle, Gov. Warfield, 1904-1908.

Although we did talk about Gov. Warfield and Del Magin; much of our conversation was about a bridge construction matter. Go figure…

I was working steel and concrete pans on bridges at the time. For example I worked on the Francis Scott Key Bridge that spanned the outer Baltimore harbor in, I believe 1974?

I no longer remember if it was on the Francis Scott Key Bridge or not; but we had an issue that involved structural steel girders being delivered to bridge sites with the suds already welded on to the beams. This made it difficult – if not dangerous, to walk around and negotiate while working the bridge structural beams several stories off the ground.

He listened and cared and subsequently, under his watch, the problem was solved.

I subsequently met him several times while I was in office as a Westminster elected official, 1999-2005. He was always warm, eager to talk about my distant relatives who had served as Maryland elected officials and he loved to talk about the history of Maryland government.

Years later, in 2011, he still remembered the conversation and that I was related to Gov. Warfield and Del. Magin. I found this absolutely extraordinary. You simply cannot make something like that up.

The Baltimore Sun article best explained Gov. Mandel’s ascension to the Md. Statehouse in 1969, “Mr. Mandel was selected overwhelmingly for the governorship by the legislature in 1969 to succeed Spiro T. Agnew, who had resigned to become Richard M. Nixon's vice president. At the time the state had no lieutenant governor, and as the speaker of the House of Delegates, Mandel had the inside line to succeed Agnew. Mr. Mandel served in the House for 16 years before his peers selected him to be governor…”

Many will agree with the Baltimore Sun August 31, 2015 article, “Beginning as an accidental governor chosen by the legislature, Mandel, a Baltimore native, quickly established himself as a formidable statewide politician. Twice he was elected governor by thumping margins, and he used those mandates to bring about a sweeping modernization of state government…”

Of his many accomplishments, Gov. Mandel is considered the architect of modern government in Maryland. Under his watch, state government was re-structured and modernized and made into what it is today as a cabinet form of government.

According to the August 31, 2015 Baltimore Sun article, “Mr. Mandel served in the House for 16 years before his peers selected him to be governor. During the 1969 and 1970 legislative sessions, the General Assembly adopted 93 of the 95 measures sponsored by the Mandel administration.

“The governor's legislative program included eight constitutional amendments —including reform of the state's court system — and legislation reorganizing the executive department's 248 agencies and departments into 11 departments headed by Cabinet-level secretaries. Maryland thus became one of the few states at that time to adopt the Cabinet system…”

Writing for Maryland Reporter.com, Len Lazarick and Cynthia Prairie wrote on Monday, August 31, 2015:

Former Gov. Marvin Mandel died Sunday, ending a remarkable life that made him one of the most influential Maryland governors of the past century and one of the most colorful, with personal drama providing flourishes to his large public accomplishments.

MARVIN MANDEL DIES: Michael Dresser and Colin Campbell are reporting that former Gov.

 Marvin Mandel, who won acclaim during two tumultuous terms in the State House  as one of Maryland's most effective chief executives only to be forced from power on corruption charges in 1977, died Sunday afternoon, his family said.

If you live long enough in politics, all may not be forgiven, but most is forgotten, and if you're lucky, only the good stuff is remembered, MarylandReporter.com wrote in May. That's certainly true of Mandel, who turned 95 in April and was feted at a birthday celebration that was an old-timers reunion for a man who left office 36 years ago. It's nice to be able to hear your eulogies before you pass away.

Mandel had heart ailments and died in St. Mary's County, a son said. Bart Barnes of the Post writes that in January 1969, Mandel, then speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates, was elected governor by the state legislature to serve the remaining two years of the governorship of Spiro T. Agnew, who resigned to become Richard Nixon's vice president.

Mandel died after spending two days with family while celebrating his son's 50th birthday, according to a statement from his family. The Annapolis Capital is reporting that Gov. Larry Hogan on Sunday night ordered flags to fly at half-staff in honor of Mandel.

Bryan Sears of the Daily Record quotes a statement from Mandel's son Paul Dorsey: "Governor Mandel was a great governor but more importantly a great father and grandfather. He spent his final weekend with family in St. Mary's County eating crabs and enjoying the beautiful scenery that St. Mary's has to offer. He lived life to the fullest."


Md. Comptroller Peter Franchot said August 31, 2015, ““Marvin Mandel is a monumental figure in the history of our great state, and more importantly, he was fundamentally a good man and public servant. As a Marylander and as Comptroller, I will forever be grateful for his determination as governor to modernize and streamline state government operations which earned national renown and were vital to Maryland's longstanding reputation for sound fiscal stewardship.

“On a personal note, I will always treasure his gestures of friendship, whether it was spending an afternoon in my office discussing World War II with my father, offering sage advice, or sharing one of his patented stories from days gone by. It is with deep affection and admiration that Anne and I extend our love and prayers to his family during this sad time.”

On August 31, 2015, U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) said, “I extend my heartfelt condolences to Governor Mandel’s family on the death of this respected and forward-looking leader for Maryland.

“Governor Mandel was a brilliant administrator who was rightly proud of his extraordinary legacy of modernizing and reorganizing Maryland state government. He will also be remembered for his many other innovative initiatives, including reducing the burden of school construction costs on counties, and helping to build subway systems in both Baltimore and the metro areas around D.C.

“Governor Mandel lived a full and accomplished life, and I join with many across Maryland in mourning his passing.”

On September 4, 2015, Maryland Reporter.com reported, “MANDEL'S LIFE HONORED AT FUNERAL: To those who followed him into the Maryland governor's mansion, Marvin Mandel was a wise and generous advisor, regardless of their party affiliation. To the past and present officeholders who gathered for his funeral in Baltimore County on Thursday, he was a master vote-counter and coalition-builder, writes Jean Marbella for the Sun. And to his family? Mandel was a garment-cutter's son and first in his family to go to college, and a father and grandfather so devoted to his Maryland Terps that he once bit through the stem of his pipe during a particularly stressful game.

Josh Hicks of the Post reports that amid many eulogies on Thursday praising former Maryland governor Marvin Mandel as a political giant, his eldest son reminded mourners that his father was also an adored and dedicated family man. "There was life before Annapolis," Gary Mandel said to the crowd gathered at Sol Levinson & Bros. Funeral Home in Pikesville. "I want everyone to know that he was more than just a politician."

The AP's Brian Witte, in a piece in the Daily Record, writes that  former U.S. Rep. Kweisi Mfume, who also once headed the NAACP, described Mandel as "a stalwart in the storm. ... Small in stature, but big in belief, he played as hard as anyone until the clock on the scoreboard ran out."

In an op-ed for the Sun, retired federal Judge Alexander Williams writes extensively about Mandel's civil rights record. As governor, he is lauded with appointing a number of "firsts" including Joseph Sommerville as the first black sheriff for St. Mary's County and Benjamin King as the first black member to the State Board of Certified Public Accountants.
