Textile artist Sue Helmken to open exhibit at Off Track Art in Westminster Fri March 7, 2014 - Kevin Dayhoff http://westminster.patch.com/groups/kevin-e-dayhoffs-blog/p/textile-artist-sue-helmken-to-open-exhibit-at-off-track-art-in-westminster-friday-evening-march-7-2014

http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/2014/03/textile-artist-sue-helmken-to-open.html

When: Friday, March 7, 2014 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at the Off Track Art gallery at 11 Liberty Street Side Entrance in historic downtown Westminster:

Sue Helmken is a textile artist with over 30 years’ experience in weaving, dyeing and teaching.

According to information provided by the gallery and the artists, Ms. Helmken earned a B.A. in Design at East Carolina University and has continued learning new techniques by experimenting and by studying with fiber artists such as Madelyn Van der Hoogt, Alice Schlein, Barbara Cooper, Donna Sullivan, Jozef Bajus, and Holly Brackmann. She also studied at the Penland School of Crafts and the Corcoran College of Art and Design.

Experimenting with new techniques and non-traditional materials is her favorite challenge. Mixing wire and yarn, she weaves narrow bands and shapes them into 3-dimensional forms.

Some are patterned after natural forms while others mimic fashion accessories. She also weaves clothing and accessories.

Ms. Helmken uses a variety of yarns and fibers to develop cloth with textures and patterns not found in commercially woven fabric.

Ecclesiastical pieces such as stoles, banners, and altar cloths are another facet of her work.

Ms. Helmken has been a juried member of Gallery 209 in Savannah, GA, Fiberworks Gallery and The Potomac Fibersrts Gallery in the Torpedo Factory of Alexandria, VA, Studio Fiberarts at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, VA.

Her work has been accepted in juried

shows throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, most recently at AASU Gallery, The Blackrock Arts Center, Sweetwater Center for the Arts, The Art League of Alexandria, VA, and The Workhouse Center for the Arts.

She taught weaving and dyework at Armstrong Atlantic State University; she conducts workshops and classes for fiber guilds and offers private lessons as well.

Friday evening March 7, 2014: “Off Track Art” is an artists’ collective & gallery located in the historic Liberty Building at 11 Liberty St. – next to the railroad tracks, off of the Sentinel parking lot at the corner of W. Main St & MD 27-Liberty St - in historic downtown Westminster, Md.

The inspiration for forming the co-op was spearheaded by local artists Susan Williamson & Pam Zappardino. Off Track had its grand opening on Feb. 13th, 2009.

For the past 4-yrs, the partners in the Off Track Art co-op have changed; however the artist-partners in the co-op have been dedicated to advancing the arts in Westminster as well as the careers, ideas, and artistic visions of its members.

Termite Control Programs

There are two kinds of homes: those with termites and those that will eventually have them!

Termites are tough, determined and highly efficient. According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cause millions of dollars in damage to homes in the United States every year.Subterranean termites live in colonies below the soil surface. Termites are constantly foraging for cellulose-containing material to eat. Unfortunately, termites can't distinguish between the wood in your home and the wood in the forest.

It's important to remember that just because you've never seen termites in your home, it doesn't mean your home is termite-free. Termites use mud to construct tube-like passageways leading from their colony in the soil to the wood in your home. Termites often feed below the surface of wood, so the vast majority of their work is invisible.

One of the OWNERS from Triangle Home Services Inc. will come to evaluate the unique construction and environmental conditions present at your home. Based on a careful inspection, we will create a termite management plan tailor-made for your home's specific needs.

Streets and history of Westminster intersect at odd angles [Eagle Archives]

Streets and history of Westminster intersect at odd angles [Eagle Archives] By Kevin Dayhoff March 4, 2014 http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0302-20140304,0,1024009.story

Many residents today may not recall the crazy-quilt "dog leg" intersection of John, Bond and Main streets, or the equally mismatched collision of Main and Liberty streets, Railroad Avenue, and the train tracks in Westminster.

Years ago, these intersections did not look anything like they do now. Today, they form a perfect "cross."

But years ago, a motorist traveling south on John Street or Railroad Avenue had to make a 90-degree right turn onto Main Street, then hang a quick left to get on either Liberty or Bond Street and get through the intersection.

It may have worked well enough in the horse and buggy days. But by the 1970s, it was nuts.

Finally, sanity ruled and the two intersections and the bridge over the railroad tracks on East Green Street were rebuilt in the mid-1970s.

Many years ago, the area that we now know as John and Carroll streets in Westminster was known as the "space between."

Heather Dewees Inducted into Mount Saint Mary’s Athletic Hall of Fame

February 27, 2014

According to Carroll County Public Schools, Heather Dewees has been inducted into Mount Saint Mary’s Athletic Hall of Fame

A recent press release reported, “Heather Dewees, a social studies teacher at North Carroll High School and the girls’ basketball coach at Manchester Valley High School, has been inducted into the Mount Saint Mary’s University Athletic Hall of Fame.

“Dewees was inducted for her performance on and off the court as a student athlete. She played women’s basketball and graduated eighth in her class, Summa Cum Laude, with a double major in History and Spanish and a minor in Theology. As a member of the Mount Saint Mary’s basketball team, Dewees scored over 1,000 points and helped lead the Mountaineers to some of the most successful seasons in the program’s Division I history.

“In her final two seasons, Dewees helped the Mount win two conference championships and secure the NEC’s first-ever automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in 1994. She started in both of the Mount’s NCAA tournament games in 1994 and 1995.

“She was named to the NEC All-Newcomer Team, First Team All-NEC and All-NEC Tournament Team.”
