Explore Carroll: DAYHOFF: Diffendal's life of service deserved a 'lot' of attention

In the past several years, a number of readers have asked about the names of the various parking lots in Westminster -- and where they come from.

In particular, several folks have asked about Thomas S. Diffendal, for whom the East Main Street parking lot in Westminster is named.

Some of the queries came after I referred to it in an April 8, 2009, column about the Palace Livery stable fire of April 6, 1906.

That fire occurred right next to where the fire station was located at that time, and destroyed the home and livery stable owned by Harry Harbaugh. At that time, the offices of the City of Westminster were also in the fire station.

The Harbaugh Livery Stable stood next to the stable and home owned by Westminster Mayor O.D. Gilbert.

Today, the parking lot is literally located within the old walls of the Gilbert garage, between the Westminster Library and the old Westminster Volunteer Fire Station... http://www.explorecarroll.com/opinion/5369/diffendals-life-service-deserved-lot-attention/

Severe weather damaged homes and closed roads Saturday in Carroll County


Severe weather damaged homes and closed roads Sat in Carroll Co By Kevin Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/3qqxdom

Carroll County emergency officials opened the county emergency communications center at approximately 9 p.m. Saturday evening as a band of heavy thunderstorms, accompanied by high winds, and heavy rain swept through the county, according to Carroll County Public Information Officer Cindy Parr.

The Carroll County Emergency Operations Center reported that the National Weather Service had issued a “severe thunderstorm warning” at approximately 5:30 p.m., last evening, as strong winds were reported to be coming into the county from the southwest.

This was the same storm system that produced a series of tornadoes in the south-central and eastern United States throughout the day on Saturday causing numerous deaths and property damage.

Earlier Saturday, powerful spring thunderstorms swept through North Carolina and spawned a number of tornadoes as the storm system made its way up the coast.

At approximately 8:20 p.m., the Carroll County Emergency Operations Center alerted emergency responders that the National Weather Service had issued a “tornado warning” for the Carroll County area.  “A warning means a tornado has been sighted or indicated by Doppler radar.”

Late Saturday evening, Parr said in a telephone interview with the Carroll Eagle, that “two specific areas in the county are reporting heavy storm damage,” including wires and trees down, roads closed and homes damages, consistent with that of a possible tornado...

Hardest hit was the area near the intersection of Route 97 and Bartholow Road in the southern part of the county and in the area of Arbor Drive, Lake Drive, Grand Valley Road near Bankard, Band Hall Hill and West Deep Run Roads in the northern part of the county.

Units from a number of volunteer fire departments including Manchester and Pleasant Valley and departments from southern Adams County reported to the area as well as the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

The Red Cross responded to help at least one family off Arbor Drive in the Manchester area that reported a tree had fallen into the house, according to Parr.

Late Saturday evening, Baltimore Gas Electric reported on its website over 5,353 customers without electric power in northern Carroll County at the Pennsylvania line; and various police reports indicated some flooding in the western part of the county.

“Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) today announced that it has mobilized its storm center and increased the number of crews in the field to respond to weather-related outages from today’s storm activity,” said in a press release Saturday evening.

“BGE will continue to monitor the weather and the impact of the forecasted high wind and increase in rainfall that is expected to enter into its Central Maryland service territory Saturday evening, possibly causing electric service interruptions.  The peak of the severe weather is expected bring sustained winds of 25 to 30 miles per hour, with wind gusts ranging from 50 – 60 miles per hour.  These weather conditions could cause whole trees and tree limbs to come down onto power lines and other electric delivery equipment, interrupting service to customers…”

Meanwhile the National Weather Service predicts better weather for Sunday: “Mostly sunny, with a high near 62.  Windy, with a west wind 15 to 18 mph increasing to between 27 and 30 mph. Winds could gust as high as 44 mph.”
