Excellent article by Jon Kelvey on Sam Riley’s history presentation at the Historical Society of Carroll County celebration of Carroll County’s 180^th birthday

Political rancor existed before Carroll County's birthday 180 years ago

January 21, 2017 by Jon Kelvey http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-carroll-180-celebration-012217-20170121-story.html

The celebration of Carroll County's 180th birthday on Saturday was a couple of days belated: Carroll County was legally formed from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties on Jan. 19, 1837.

Not that that was a problem for keynote speaker Sam Riley, president of Union Mills Homestead Foundation. Coming a day after the presidential inauguration, Riley saw an opportunity to tie the politics of today to the politics of the past, which he noted were often just as fraught and ill-tempered as today.

"Throughout our history, we've had these very tough elections," he said. "At the end of it all, despite all the nasty things we say about each other, somebody is forced to govern and figure out where to build roads and bridges."

About 50 to 60 people came out to Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster to hear Riley's presentation on one of Carroll County's pioneering families, the Shrivers, and the political debates of their times.

Westminster welcomes new city administrator Barbara Matthews

Westminster welcomes new city administrator Barbara Matthews

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/government/ph-cc-westminster-manager-matthews-010517-20170104-story.html

Jan. 4, 2017 by Jon Kelvey

Westminster has a new city administrator in Barbara Matthews, a local-government professional with 30 years of experience in cities from Missouri to Maryland, most recently a 3 1/2-year stint as the city manager of Rockville. Wednesday was her second day in Westminster's administrative offices at 56 W. Main St.

"Right now, I think my focus is just getting to know the staff, getting to know the community," Matthews said. "Over the next two weeks, I will be spending some time with each of the department directors, learning about what they do, going out into the community, seeing some of the facilities and seeing some of the projects that we have going on."

Rockville aside, Matthews has spent most of her career managing city governments about the size of Westminster and said she enjoys communities that are both historic and continue to evolve and change with the times.

Learn from past when deciding fate of old school buildings - The contentious history of education in Carroll County

Learn from past when deciding fate of old school buildings - The contentious history of education in Carroll County https://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2017/01/learn-from-past-when-deciding-fate-of.html

“Learn from past when deciding fate of old school buildings - The contentious history of education in Carroll County,” Eagle Archives By Kevin E. Dayhoff, Sunday, November 18, 2015

Recently, on Facebook, “Carroll Unite,” remarked: “Without getting into whether schools should have been closed or not, we now find ourselves as a county not finding the savings the commissioners thought would so surely come by closing schools. While the schools may be spending less, now there is the burden of what to do with three empty properties.

"Our thought: The county commissioners should have had a more frank and detailed discussion about what would happen to the three properties once the schools were closed PRIOR to forcing the board's hand in the closings. Some of that discussion should have taken place with Guthrie and the BOE. Again, our commissioners failed to plan ahead appropriately."

To which I added:

Hopefully - this might be of interest…

“Learn from past when deciding fate of old school buildings - The contentious history of education in Carroll County,” Eagle Archives By Kevin E. Dayhoff, Sunday, November 18, 2015 http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-archives-educat-1115-20151111-story.html

In the past year or so, the local news has dined on a steady diet of discussion and acrimony over various education issues in Carroll County. If you think that our present day public discourse is interesting; researching the contentious history of education in Carroll County is an historian’s dream.

[…]

But it is at times like this that one wonders why old school buildings on college campuses are respected, revered and often saved with great pride; yet older public school buildings, that many taxpayers made huge sacrifices to pay for through hard-earned taxpayer dollars and bake sales, are simply discarded by the government like used candy wrappers after it is no longer convenient to use and maintain them.

Generations upon generations will be sad if the old 1936 Westminster High School building is closed. Especially because in the past, Local and state government have developed a horrific reputation of demolishing old historic public structures by incompetence and willful neglect. (Then again, in recent years, under the current county staff leadership, there are examples in the county of successful adaptive re-use of the old structures.)

It is simply unconscionable to allow a building that was once the vibrant social, emotional and economic center of a community to simply be allowed to die and rot in the middle of that community. Yet public officials do it all the time. I guess they can’t see it from their house.

One can only hope that if old historic public buildings are to be closed that concurrent conversations are taking place to re-use the structures for the benefit of the greater community. It is simply a violation of the public trust to simply allow the buildings to painfully crumble before our eyes.

The Center For Total Eye Care – Glaucoma

The Center For Total Eye Care – Glaucoma

http://centerfortotaleyecare.com/services/glaucoma 

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, accounting for approximately 12% of new cases of blindness each year in the United States. This condition affects about 3% of all Americans over the age of 65, and over half of those with glaucoma don’t know they have it. For this reason, it has developed a reputation as the “silent thief” of sight.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is an eye disease that develops gradually (usually over several years), causes no pain, and presents only subtle symptoms that worsen over time. These symptoms include blurred vision and loss of peripheral (side) vision to name a few. Glaucoma occurs when fluid buildup in the eye causes excessive intraocular pressure (IOP) that damages the optic nerve, the part of the eye that carries the images we see to the brain. Although many people fear this potentially sight-damaging condition, early diagnosis and treatment can help maintain your vision for a lifetime.

Early Diagnosis & Treatment to Preserve Your Vision

At the Center for Total Eye Care, we use the latest diagnostic exams to pinpoint glaucoma in its earliest stages:

• Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) Test: There are different types of visual field tests. HVF is the one most commonly used in the U.S. It consists of a center fixation light and blinking test lights in your side vision. Areas that appear gray or black on the test results reflect areas in your vision that are blurred or missing. Uncontrolled glaucoma leads to these areas becoming darker and larger.
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): OCT is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina.
• Tonometry: Tonometry is used to determine the intraocular pressure (IOP) within the eye.

Treating Glaucoma

Drs. Barber, Friedman, Jun, and Luzuriaga offer a variety of treatment options to manage glaucoma. If glaucoma is detected during your eye exam, your doctor will develop a treatment plan based on your individual needs. Some of the treatment options available include:

• Eye drops: Glaucoma is usually treated with daily eye drops that decrease eye pressure either by slowing the amount of fluid produced within the eye or by improving drainage of that fluid.
• Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): Drs. Barber and Friedman are the first eye surgeons in the area to offer SLT, a revolutionary procedure designed to treat patients with open-angle glaucoma, the most prevalent form of glaucoma.
• Laser Iridotomy: Laser iridotomy is a type of laser surgery for people who have or who may develop narrow angle glaucoma. A laser is used to make a small hole in the iris. This hole should restore normal flow of fluid within the eye and reduce the eye pressure.
• Trabeculectomy: This procedure is more commonly used after other treatments have not been successful in lowering pressure. It involves creating a tiny passageway from the inside to the outside of the eye to help fluid drain better from areas where it is not currently draining.

If necessary, you may also be referred to one of the highly experienced doctors within our carefully selected network of glaucoma subspecialists.

Regular eye exams help detect diseases like glaucoma before they cause significant, irreversible damage to your vision. Ready to schedule an appointment?

“Dayhoff: A German POW camp was located on site of Wakefield Valley golf course during WWII”

 

 

“Dayhoff: A German POW camp was located on site of Wakefield Valley golf course during WWII”

The idea of building houses in Wakefield Valley has been the topic of debate in our community since the 1960s.

“Time Flies,” by Kevin E. Dayhoff January 13, 2017

As far back as 1960s, the idea of building houses in Wakefield Valley has been the topic of divisive and acrimonious debate in our community. Especially since the sprawling development, currently located in the valley, sits on what was once the location of some Carroll County’s best farmland. The current houses next to the proposed 53-house development were built many years ago in spite of bitter opposition from the local community.

[…]

“Dayhoff: A German POW camp was located on the Wakefield Valley Golf Course during WWII.” Sunday, January 15, 2017 Time Flies, by Kevin Dayhoff,

This coming Tuesday, January 17, the use of German POWs to do farm work in Carroll County during World War II, will be the topic of the Historical Society of Carroll County’s popular Box Lunch Talk series.

“During World War II, American farms and factories faced a labor shortage. One little- known solution to the problem was the use of German prisoners of war,” according to Historical Society.

[…]

As an aside, this same golf course property is currently in the news. Recently several folks have asked about the background to the current discussions about a recent proposal to build 53 houses on a portion of the now defunct Wakefield Valley Golf Course.

As of this morning, before the Box Lunch Talk today at noon at Grace Hall in Grace Lutheran Church, in Westminster – the link worked. Just saying.

The Box lunch Talk was well attended. 150 folks came to hear an excellent and insightful presentation by Jim Shriver. Another great program by the Historical Society of Carroll County.
