By Kevin E. Dayhoff

The Historical Society of Carroll County has a longstanding tradition of throwing an annual themed birthday party for the county every January.

For this year's event, which was scheduled for Jan. 17, the topic was the history of the county's northern border, the storied, celebrated and, at times, vilified Mason Dixon Line.

In 1763, the Treaty of Paris had signaled the end of the North American theater of the world-wide war between France and England, the French and Indian War that began in 1754-63.

The end of the conflict on this continent was one of the last pieces of the puzzle that enabled settlement in Carroll County with relative freedom from violence. The final piece was the American Revolution, 1775-83.

Another piece of the puzzle was the settlement of the longstanding, and often violent, dispute over the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Today, that rivalry is played out every football season between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers. But before the Mason-Dixon Line was surveyed between 1763 and 1767, the dispute was often the source armed conflict and bloodshed.

On Saturday January 17, 2015 from 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. at Grace Hall Grace Lutheran Church 21 Carroll St. in Westminster, Maryland the Historical Society of Carroll County will host birthday party for Carroll County. The event is free.

This year’s speaker is Michael Dixon, who will make a presentation on “The Mason-Dixon Line: The Story Behind the Boundary.”

See my article on the Historical Society birthday party – and the impact of the Mason Dixon Line on Carroll County MD history here: “Underlining surveyors' contribution to Carroll County's history.” http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0118-20150114-story.html

According to information from the Historical Society, “Born as the result of a bitter territorial dispute over royal land grants, the Mason-Dixon Line was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 to settle the boundaries for Pennsylvania and Maryland.

“After 1820, when the Missouri Compromise created political conditions which made the line important to the history of slavery, it became associated with the division between the free and slave states. Today the line is still seen by many as a symbolic dividing line for regional attitudes and customs. This program explores the story of the line, which runs through our land and our history, along with the perceptions that have developed about the boundary.”

Really sad to learn today that Clementines Country Boutique is closing


Really sad to learn today that Clementines Country Boutique is closing

I learned from Lori Graham today on Facebook that Shelly Seitz and Melissa Seitz are closing Clementines Country Boutique on John Street in Westminster.

This. Makes. Me. So. Sad.

Shelly Seitz and Melissa Seitz have contributed greatly to our community and closing the business is a huge loss for Westminster. They will be greatly missed.


Shelley and Melissa, we wish you the best and greatly appreciated all your hard work for Westminster. Thank.

Commissioners react to proposed school budget - carrollcountytimes.com

Commissioners react to proposed school budget - carrollcountytimes.com:

 Calls for $11.5 million increase

 By Wiley Hayes, Times Staff Writer
8:05 p.m. EST, January 15, 2015

 http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-education-commissioners-meeting-20150115,0,313956.story 

  The Carroll County Board of Education outlined its proposed school system budget for the upcoming fiscal year for the County Board of Commissioners. The proposal requests an increase in county funding by $11.5 million, and also introduced the commissioners to a long-term plan that calls for school funding to increase at the same rate as the county's revenue.

  Carroll County Public Schools Superintendent Steve Guthrie said the system is requesting $173.5 million for fiscal year 2016, which is $11.5 million more than what the county had planned for FY16 and what they are currently being funded for FY15. 

 The Board of Education's proposed budget is $180.4 million in 2017, $189.4 million in 2018, and $198.9 million in 2019."

January 1991 Report of the Governor’s Commission on Growth in the Chesapeake Bay Region

January 1991 Report of the Governor’s Commission on Growth in the Chesapeake Bay Region

Protecting the Future

A Vision for Maryland

Report of the Governor’s Commission on Growth in the Chesapeake Bay Region

January 1991

SUMMARY OF THE COMMISSION'S PROPOSAL

Since October 1989, the Governor's Commission on Growth in the Chesapeake Bay Region has worked to develop a vision for Maryland's growth over the next 30 years. Answering a charge from Governor William Donald Schaefer, the Commission has made recommendations for reconciling rapid economic growth and development with the conservation of Maryland's natural resources and the preservation of the State's unique quality of life.

http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/01/january-1991-report-of-governors.html

http://www.slideshare.net/kevindayhoff/january-1991-report-of-the-governors-commission-on-growth-in-the-chesapeake-bay-region


https://www.scribd.com/doc/252791803/January-1991-Report-of-the-Governor-s-Commission-on-Growth-in-the-Chesapeake-Bay-Region


The Commission recognized an opportunity to change the way land-use has been managed in the past, and crafted recommendations which carefully consider the challenge of the Visions prepared by the 2020 Panel of Experts.2 Each Vision was considered, and the responses blended into five basic recommendations that are the subject of this report.

1. Designate suitable areas for growth. Sprawl development devours land, harms the environment and the Chesapeake Bay, and uses infrastructure inefficiently. The Commission's proposal would have local governments direct new development to areas they believe can most efficiently accommodate it.

2. Protect sensitive areas. From a list of more than 40 environmentally-sensitive areas, such as den or breeding sites and large contiguous tracts of forest, the Commission focused on four as being most critical to protect from the impact of individual development projects. On steep slopes and in stream buffers, in habitats for endangered species and 100-year floodplains, virtually no development should be permitted.

3. Conserve natural resources. Sprawl development encourages inefficient use of resources. Natural resources such as farmland and forests, once developed, are difficult to restore. Under the Commission's proposal, development will be directed away from farms and forests.

4. Make stewardship of the environment a universal ethic. Mary landers must understand that each individual's actions have a direct effect on the Bay and the environment. The Commission has asked that a statewide Stewardship Council be charged with coordinating existing educational programs and increasing opportunities for individuals to protect the environment.

5. Provide funds to achieve the recommendations. Concentrating development depends on the ability of local governments to fund the planning and infrastructure.  Although local

The 2020 Panel of Experts was convened at the request of the signatories of the 1987 Chesapeake Bay Agreement to study the consequences of population growth and development for the Chesapeake Bay watershed to the year 2020.  Their report described six detailed "visions" and "actions."

[…]

From far western Garrett County to the Eastern Shore, the importance of the Bay to Maryland is virtually inestimable. Each year it gives us millions of dollars of seafood, billions of dollars of commerce flow through its major ports, and it is a recreation center for the East Coast. In 1989, the Maryland Department of Economic and Employment Development estimated the economic value of the Bay to Maryland and Virginia to be $678 billion.

Saving the Chesapeake Bay MUST be an overriding priority for all Marylanders and their governments.  Economic Importance of the Chesapeake Bay. 1989.

January 15, 2015 update: I noticed today that the Carroll County Commissioners scheduled a meeting today with the Carroll County Mayors: “Thursday ~ January 15, 2015 7:00 p.m. Joint Board of County Commissioners/Mayors Meeting County Office Building ~ Reagan Room Commissioners Howard, Wantz, Weaver, Frazier & Rothschild”

I would have like to have attended but got behind… Anyway it reminded me of this news brief from February 5, 1971…. If I am not mistaken – I attended this meeting… The commissioners were G. Herbert Rice, Norman Graham, and John Meyer.

Commissioners Meet With Town Officials - The County Commissioners of Carroll County during the week of January 18th scheduled a meeting with the Mayors and Representatives of the incorporated towns of Carroll County to discuss several matters pertaining to the two general governmental units within the county.

Included in the discussions were procedures which could be implemented by town and county in establishing coordination between planning and zoning programs, the development and implementation of the county wide water and sewer plan and cooperation in further studies involving the financing of facilities of joint concern within and without the incorporated area.

General agreement was expressed at the meeting that periodic meetings should be scheduled and that the programs proposed would be given further study, and discussion would be continued at such further meetings.
