Kevin Earl Dayhoff to run for Westminster City Council
April 7, 2019 by Kevin Dayhoff
Kevin Dayhoff: From Westminster for Westminster creating a
sense of place
Kevin Dayhoff filed Tuesday, April 2, 2019, for the upcoming
May 14th Westminster City Council election
Tuesday afternoon, 2April2019, Caroline, and I went over to
the Westminster City offices where I submitted the paperwork to run for one of
the three Westminster Common Council seats available in the next municipal
election on May 14th, 2019. I am pretty excited about it. I am looking forward
to hopefully having another opportunity to serve.
It has almost been 15-years since I served as an elected
official. (I served as a Westminster Common Council Member from 1999-2001 and
the Westminster Mayor from 2001-2005.)
Over the years I have stayed pretty active in the community.
However, I would like another opportunity to make a positive difference in the
community by serving as an elected official. I want to be part of something
bigger than me, my art, my farm, my writing. During the election I am on leave
from the newspaper. I have very much enjoyed writing for the Baltimore Sun
Media Group and I have been assured that after the election I can go back to my
old job. Taking 6-weeks off from writing is hard. It’s like telling me not to
breathe.
At this point in my life, I really want to take another turn
in government because I think I can make a difference. I know the history and
traditions of Westminster (and Carroll County) government. Before I was first
elected to the Westminster Common Council in May of 1999, I had spent 20-years
as an appointed official with various boards, commissions, and committees.
Those experiences served me well. I would like to have another opportunity to
put those experiences to work.
A fresh perspective and new ideas are needed in any
organization. As times change, so must the City of Westminster. And the changes
that are necessary in our community are best served with a relentlessly
positive attitude – building upon the successes of the past work of city
officials. I applaud their work and accomplishments. However it is time to let
someone else have a turn.
Support public safety.
My vision for Westminster includes getting back to basics
and enhancing public works and safety. The public works department, the
Westminster Police and the Westminster Fire Company play a basic and critical
role in our quality of life in Westminster and need our renewed support.
I understand public works. I farmed for 25 years from 1974-1999.
In those years I worked as a landscape designer contractor and property manager.
I have served for many years as a fire and police chaplain and public
information officer. The many years of experience has given me a good working
knowledge of the operations and the challenges that lie ahead.
Support economic development
I look forward to supporting our historic downtown shopping
and business district by working to continue to attract special events,
businesses, shopping and local jobs.
I owned a business for 25 years. I have been self-employed
as a writer and an artist since 1973. I have written for several newspapers and
magazine since I left office in 2005. I wrote about local government, ‘cops,
courts, and crime,’ community events, politics, and history. I look forward to
building upon my experiences as a business owner, elected, and appointed
official, and work as an historian and writer - to promote the business of
Westminster.
Support working with other public officials.
I was born and raised in Westminster. I have held various
appointed and elected positions in local, county, and state government since
1978. I look forward to using that background and experience to Westminster’s
advantage and benefit.
Over the years I have enjoyed working with many local
municipal, county, and state officials. I served on the statewide MML Board of
Directors for five years.
Increasingly, the future of Westminster and all local
government depends on how well we work with other governments, law enforcement
agencies, fire and EMS services, education officials, non-governmental
organizations, and government officials. I look forward to continue to working
my fronds and colleagues.
I look forward to continuing to work for the citizens of Westminster.
I am excited about the opportunities and the future.
My six principles of public service have not changed since
1999:
My Basic Six Principles - May 1999
1. Fiscal responsibility – Expanding Commercial,
Industrial, Retail and Community Based Employment Tax Base
2. Public Safety
3. Promoting Citizen Based Community Based Grass Roots
Customer Service Oriented Government
4. Economic Development – which includes a strong
approach to annexation, Community Based Employment, and continued downtown
revitalization.
5. Enhancing Family Quality of Life – to include
expanded recreational opportunities and emphasizing basic municipal services:
snow removal, trash collection, water and sewer service and education.
6. Infrastructure improvements – Water, sewer and roads.
Fundraising
I am really looking forward to taking
another turn as a Westminster elected official. We have been slowly and
thoughtfully putting together our campaign.
On March 20, 2019 we opened-up a
campaign finance checking account. We are looking forward to working hard on a
relentlessly positive campaign. If you would like to help, please consider

Westminster celebrates the 38th running of the Main Street Mile
April 10, was the scene of the 38th annual Westminster rite
of spring – the Westminster Road Runners Club Main Street Mile
April 10, 2019 by Kevin Dayhoff, kevindayhoff@gmail.com
https://dayhoffwestminster.blogspot.com/2019/04/westminster-celebrates-38th-running-of.html
Main Street in Westminster on Wednesday evening, April 10, was the scene of the 38th annual Westminster rite of spring – the Westminster Road Runners Club Main Street Mile – co-sponsored by the Westminster Recreation and Parks Department.
Main Street in Westminster on Wednesday evening, April 10, was the scene of the 38th annual Westminster rite of spring – the Westminster Road Runners Club Main Street Mile – co-sponsored by the Westminster Recreation and Parks Department.
The annual event dates back to 1981 and is known as one of
the fastest one-mile courses in the world, because it begins at the top of East
Main Street at Fair Avenue and follows Main Street west to the Westminster
Branch of the Carroll County Public Library - all downhill, with a total
vertical drop of 144 feet.
This year the weather was nearly perfect as friends,
families, and neighbors gathered on Main Street to take part in the historic
event. In keeping with tradition the first heat began at 7 p.m. The race is run
in two “heats.” Heat #1 is officially timed and scored with prizes awarded. To
qualify for Heat #1, you must be age 11 or older and be capable of running a mile
in less than 10 minutes.
Heat #2 is the “Connor Smith Memorial Fun Run.” It is neither officially timed nor scored. A
clock showing an unofficial race time, however, will be at the finish line.
Because so many young people participate, the Main Street
Mile is really quite a fun family event.
Even the “race numbers” are fun, since everyone under the age of 10
wears a race identification badge, which bears the number “1.”
The cheers for the “number 1’s” always seem the heartiest,
since finishing is quite an accomplishment for the little runners. Every
“number 1” is awarded a medal at the finish line.
Hats off to the Westminster Road Runners Club - WRRC. The Main Street Mile is a five-star
community event that brings together many different
folks for an enjoyable family-oriented experience.
The quality of the WRRC and the greater Westminster
community shines through as the race itself has regional “cult” status in the
running community and brings many visitors to Carroll County .
Organizing the Main Street Mile is a feat all to itself. The
race seems simple enough - a one-mile straight shot. But organizing the race is
deceivingly complicated as it involves closing Main Street and many intricately moving gears which all need to come
together perfectly at a precise time.
Fortunately, getting complicated
things done for the greater benefit of the community is something that is
second nature for Carroll County. Thanks to over 50 volunteers and the help of
the Westminster Police Department and Fire Police, this year’s event was
another great success.
Credit also belongs to the “Race Director.” There have been many great Main Street Mile race
directors over the years, including Beth Weisenborn, Liuda Galinaitis, and one of the
founders of the event, the late Dave Herlocker.
This year’s race director extraordinaire is once again the
totally unflappable Sandy Cole Matthias.
The very busy Westminster Family Center in the Jerome Day
historic armory building on Longwell Avenue graciously opened its doors for
pre-race registration and the after-race ice cream and results.
Yes, ice cream, the key ingredient of all successful
community events.

Westminster celebrates the 38th running of the Main Street Mile
April 10, was the scene of the 38th annual Westminster rite
of spring – the Westminster Road Runners Club Main Street Mile

Main Street in Westminster on Wednesday evening, April 10, was the scene of the 38th annual Westminster rite of spring – the Westminster Road Runners Club Main Street Mile – co-sponsored by the Westminster Recreation and Parks Department.
Main Street in Westminster on Wednesday evening, April 10, was the scene of the 38th annual Westminster rite of spring – the Westminster Road Runners Club Main Street Mile – co-sponsored by the Westminster Recreation and Parks Department.
The annual event dates back to 1981 and is known as one of
the fastest one-mile courses in the world, because it begins at the top of East
Main Street at Fair Avenue and follows Main Street west to the Westminster
Branch of the Carroll County Public Library - all downhill, with a total
vertical drop of 144 feet.
This year the weather was nearly perfect as friends,
families, and neighbors gathered on Main Street to take part in the historic
event. In keeping with tradition the first heat began at 7 p.m. The race is run
in two “heats.” Heat #1 is officially timed and scored with prizes awarded. To
qualify for Heat #1, you must be age 11 or older and be capable of running a mile
in less than 10 minutes.
Heat #2 is the “Connor Smith Memorial Fun Run.” It is neither officially timed nor scored. A
clock showing an unofficial race time, however, will be at the finish line.
Because so many young people participate, the Main Street
Mile is really quite a fun family event.
Even the “race numbers” are fun, since everyone under the age of 10
wears a race identification badge, which bears the number “1.”
The cheers for the “number 1’s” always seem the heartiest,
since finishing is quite an accomplishment for the little runners. Every
“number 1” is awarded a medal at the finish line.
Hats off to the Westminster Road Runners Club - WRRC. The Main Street Mile is a five-star
community event that brings together many different
folks for an enjoyable family-oriented experience.
The quality of the WRRC and the greater Westminster
community shines through as the race itself has regional “cult” status in the
running community and brings many visitors to Carroll County .
