#McDaniel New Gill Stadium will take its place in college's #Sports #History http://tinyurl.com/7wkok9s #Westminster

Eagle Archive McDaniel's new Gill Stadium will take its place in college's athletic history  By Kevin Dayhoff, February 9, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0212-20120208,0,3363909.story

On Feb. 3, McDaniel College held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Kenneth R. Gill Stadium.

In an article by The Eagle's Steve Jones, at ExploreCarroll.com, he noted that at the ceremonies, "shovels dug into a pile of dirt at McDaniel College" to kick off the project.

Actually, that wasn't just any ol' "pile of dirt," but rather soil from a storied history — for both the college and Westminster.

The new $8 million, 1,434-seat Gill Stadium, which will replace the existing 900-seat Bair Stadium, will provide spectators a great view of the running track and athletic field.


That track has been known since June 10, 1922, as Hoffa Field.

Of course, growing up in Westminster in the 1950s, it was really known as "the football field on the Geiman farm." In the years before 1922, when the college was outside of Westminster city limits, the Geiman farm, and the then-Duvall Farm, were located between the campus and what we now know as Baugher's Restaurant.

The first mention of the Geiman farm in the definitive history of the college, "Fearless and Bold," written by Dr. James E. Lightner, is in 1888…http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0212-20120208,0,3363909.story

This season has marked the 120th anniversary of the football team at McDaniel College.

According to Dr. James Lightner's history of the college, "Fearless and Bold," the first football season at then-Western Maryland College, in 1891, consisted of five games.

"On October 31, 1891, the first WMC football game was played in Westminster" against Pennsylvania College, now known as Gettysburg College.

The award ceremony commenced at the McDaniel College Arch and was immediately followed by an impromptu "Ravens Main Street America Parade" down Main Street in Westminster in community-wide support of the Baltimore Ravens and to celebrate the community's proud history with them.

Breaking Up Christmas!

Half a century ago, people in the mountains of the North Carolina and Southwest Virginia celebrated Christmas quite differently than the way most of us do now, holding two weeks of informal house parties that were filled with old time fiddle music, song and dance - a tradition they called "Breaking Up Christmas."  These Christmas parties ran through and ended with Old Christmas, January 6th.  Walt Michael & Company will "break up Christmas" with you this evening as they share their wide-ranging repertoire of tunes and songs that reflect the rich musical heritage of the Appalachians.  The traditional folk musics of Scotland, Ireland, England and Africa made their way into the remote mountain hollers, later emerging as an integrated American musical genre that continues to evolve. Traditional string band music is passed down from generation to generation., from singer to singer, from musician to musician.  In this great oral tradition, songs and tunes are evaluated and winnowed by time.  Memorable melodies and lyrics that withstand this test of time take their place among the venerable repertoire.  Welcome to an evening of old time music.  Let the season begin! 



Considered to be a virtuoso of tremendous influence in the revival of the hammered dulcimer, Walt's wide repertoire ranges from old-time Southern Appalachian, to Celtic, to folk, to breath-taking original compositions.  His various musical incarnations, including Bottle Hill, Michael, McCreesh & Campbell and Walt Michael & Co. have spanned over 35 years and taken him from the coal camps of Appalachia to the Closing Ceremonies of the 13th Olympic Winter Games in 1980, when 900 million world viewers heard his signature composition, Snowblind.  As a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist he has recorded sixteen albums and instructional videos, appeared at the White House, the Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center and toured extensively throughout the US, Canada, Europe and the UK.  His music has been heard on ABC-TV, NBC's Tonight Show, Broadway, BBC, TNN, CBC, OLN and PBS.   Walt is the Artist in Residence at McDaniel College, as well as Founder and Executive Director of Common Ground on the Hill.

Lecture on the western cowboy art of E. William 'Bill' Gollings at McDaniel College, Oct. 13 Collector, author to speak at Peterson Hall event


Lecture on the western cowboy art of E. William 'Bill' Gollings at McDaniel College, Oct. 13 Collector, author to speak at Peterson Hall event







As a result of the collaboration of McDaniel professor Sue Bloom, local Westminster physician Dr. Dean Griffin and McDaniel College, a special talk on the western art of E. William Gollings will be held on Thursday evening October 13th in Peterson Hall at McDaniel College at 7 pm.

The premier authority on Gollings' work, Dr. William Ward, will be speaking.

According to Griffin and Bloom, Ward is a radiologist, who trained at the University of Maryland Medical School. He discovered the work of Gollings as he flew from his home in Laramie, Wyoming, to the remote populations of Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah, delivering medical care.

It was during his residency when Ward became friends with a gallery owner in Denver, according to Bloom and Griffin. Thus began many years of collecting the work of E. William Gollings, a true cowboy artist, who lived from 1878 to1932, in Wyoming.

Ward and his wife, Carole, have amassed the definitive collection of Gollings work and have arranged to donate over $5 million in Gollings work to the University of Wyoming Museum of Art.

Ward has published two books on Gollings' art and commissioned a bronze statue of Gollings to sit across the street from the Wyoming State Capitol. His philanthropy in the fields of art and medicine are widely known in the west.

E. William Gollings was known as “Paint Bill” during his lifetime and he worked in watercolor, oils and etching. He painted cowboys, Indians, wolves, livestock and ranchers. Many of his paintings went east with vacationers at dude ranches, selling for as little as $20.

Griffin said in a recent e-mail interview, “The lecturer is a friend of mine from Wyoming … Last year I traveled to Wyoming to hear him give this lecture to a group from the Cowboy Hall of Fame Museum in Oklahoma City.

“It was excellent,” said Griffin. Dr. Ward has quite an extensive collection. This artist and the lecturer are very well known in the southwest of the United States. Several of Gollings paintings are in the Grand Room of the Wyoming State House and there is a bronze statue of Bill Gollings on the lawn of the Wyoming State House.

“This is a rare opportunity for you to hear a great lecture on Cowboy Art. Dr Ward is very knowledgeable of the art and history of the southwest. I am pleased he has agreed to do this while visiting here in Westminster. My hat goes off to Professor Bloom who has made this possible.”

Thursday evening, Ward will talk about Gollings work and his own commitment to documenting Gollings' life and collecting his art work. The event is open to the public.

For those who may have noticed groups of young men marching around McDaniel College’s campus this week in formation and chanting, rest assured that it’s not a new approach to freshman orientation.

It’s Boys State.

The annual American Legion-sponsored summer program aimed to expose rising high school seniors to the intricacies and working of the federal, state, and local government, came to Westminster this week for its annual session.

During the week, the young future leaders attend hours of classroom instruction, lectures, group discussion and physical training.

This year, 160 boys from throughout Maryland — and three from Germany — are attending the summer residence program on The Hill at McDaniel College. The camp runs June 19-25... http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5498/american-legion-boys-state-program-taps-leadership-lesson-mcdaniel-college/
