Westminster council meeting details city improvements and comprehensive plan

Westminster council meeting details city improvements and comprehensive plan

Full agenda from summer playgrounds to 'Santa's Treat'

http://explorecarroll.com/news/3228/westtownmeet/

By Kevin Dayhoff Posted 7/25/09

The Westminster mayor and common council meeting July 13 ran a bit longer than usual as officials found themselves with a full agenda.

The meeting began with a mayoral proclamation for “Recreation and Parks Month” which Westminster mayor Kevin Utz presented to Ron Schroers, city director of recreation and parks.

Schroers took center stage to receive two citizen recreation organization checks presented for the community's recreation facilities — from the Westminster Stingrays swim team and the United States Tennis Association.

Schroers accepted a check in the amount of $4,800 for refurbishments to the municipal pool. The Stingrays “are more than just a competitive swim team … but provide a great service to the community,” said Schroers.

The Mid Atlantic Maryland U.S. Tennis Association turned over a check for $2,888 for improvements to the tennis courts on the municipal playground.

Schroers did not have the donations long — as Utz quickly extended his hand to get the checks.

The meeting was taken-up with another in a continuing series of presentations by Westminster city planner Melissa Hynes on efforts to update the city's comprehensive plan.

With the county's Pathways comprehensive plan much in the news, councilmembers peppered Hynes with questions as she presented the transportation, community facilities and public services, and community design elements components of the city's vision for the next 20 years of planning for the community.

The Carroll Record, July 26, 1973 Study Recommends 10 More Troopers Carroll Record

The Carroll Record, July 26, 1973

Study Recommends Ten More Troopers For County

—Ten more State Policemen are needed in Carroll County, according to a study commissioned by the county, funded by the federal government and made by the Superintendent of the Maryland State Police last fall.

Citing a rising crime rate and overall county growth, the study intended to survey the opinions of people in the county and make recommendations for improvements. Local police forces were evaluated in the report.

Though all of the municipal forces, with the exception of Westminster, were termed inadequate, the study felt they all work well with the State Police force in the county.

Town officials frequently felt their local forces were beneficial as a deterrent to crime and most wanted a marked police car around even if their overall effectiveness was inadequate.

4 in Md. chopper crash had been at charity event By DAVID DISHNEAU


HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Four people killed when their helicopter crashed on a Maryland highway were returning from an event where they had given helicopter rides to raise money for troubled youth, authorities said Friday.

The helicopter left Hagerstown about two hours after the event ended Thursday night, said Kitty Higgins, a National Transportation Safety Board member. The pilot waited to return to Frederick because of weather. Higgins said the pilot had about 630 hours of flight experience logged.

The pilot and two of the people on board were employees of Frederick, Md.-based Advanced Helicopter Concepts. The fourth person was a friend of theirs, Higgins said. The cause is still unknown.

Witnesses reported seeing the craft flying low when it hit power lines over the interstate, then saw sparks fly before the helicopter went down and burst into flames, Higgins said.

The aircraft was engulfed when firefighters arrived at the scene minutes after receiving a call at 10:30 p.m. Thursday, said Washington County emergency services director Kevin Lewis. No vehicles on the highway were hit when the helicopter smashed into the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70. There were no injuries on the ground.

Tentative Identifications Made In I-70 Washington Co. Helicopter Crash

NEWS RELEASE
DEPARTMENT OF
MARYLAND STATE POLICE
HEADQUARTERS: PIKESVILLE, MD 21208
(410)486-3101 TTY For Hearing Impaired (410)486-0677
Toll Free: 1-800-525-5555
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 24, 2009

TENTATIVE IDENTIFICATIONS MADE IN HELICOPTER CRASH

(Boonsboro, MD) – Maryland State Police have made tentative identification of the four victims killed last night when their helicopter crashed along eastbound I-70 in Washington County.

The one female and three male victims are tentatively identified as:

-Kim R. Felix, 48, of the 6700-block of Balmoral Ridge, New Market,
Md;

-Jeffrey D. Nordaas, 24, of the 9700-block of Owen Brown Road,
Columbia, Md;

-Niall R. Y. Booth, 43, of the 6900-block of Meadowpoint Terrace, New
Market, Md;

-George H. Tutor, Jr., 39, of the 100-block of Opal Avenue, Westminster,
Md.

All four victims were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Their bodies have been transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for autopsies. It is anticipated that positive identification of each of the victims will be made by the medical examiner’s office.

Further details about the cause of the crash, aircraft, origin and destination of the flight should be referred to the National Transportation Safety Board. NTSB and Federal Aviation Administration officials are investigating the cause of the crash.

A Maryland state trooper was eastbound on I-70, east of the Rt. 66 exit, shortly before 10:30 p.m. yesterday when he spotted a fire on the median along the fast lane shoulder of the interstate. He notified the Hagerstown Barracks and immediately requested fire and rescue personnel. Arriving at the scene, the trooper found the burning wreckage to be that of a helicopter.


As rescue units extinguished the fire it was determined high voltage power lines had been downed in the area. For the safety of motorists, troopers closed both east and westbound I-70. With the assistance of the State Highway Administration, detours were set up between Rt. 66 and Rt. 17. Utility workers were summoned to address the downed wires.

Due to the diligent work of rescue personnel and utility workers, the scene was cleared and declared safe for vehicular travel shortly after 5:00 a.m. today. Both east and westbound I-70 was reopened to traffic and is running smoothly.

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898: A narrow escape in buggy mishap

A narrow escape in buggy mishap

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898.
A Narrow Escape—Mr. William A. Abbott, of Hampstead, was driving to Westminster Monday morning, and Mr. Leonard Rill, of Houcksville, was just ahead of him in another buggy, going at fair rate of speed, when, from some unaccountable reason, the horse ahead dashed into a post fence alongside the road.

Finding that he could not get through the fence the horse suddenly wheeled and ran towards Mr. Abbott's horse. The horse acted as if mad.

Mr. Rill was thrown out and the buggy was smashed to pieces. Mr. Abbott turned his buggy aside to render aid, when Mr. Rill's horse bore down upon Mr. Abbott's horse and buggy.

It was a trying moment for him, as his own horse became frightened and began to jump. The loose horse dashed by, however, barely grazing him, but part of the trapping struck him, injuring the lower part of his right leg.

When Mr. Rill's buggy was demolished he was thrown a considerable distance, and for this reason was uninjured, except being shaken up to a great extent.

Public Schools Is A Local Responsibility

Public Schools Is A Local Responsibility

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1948.

Public Schools Is A Local Responsibility - Federal Government Cannot Do A Better Job For Public Schools Than Local Communities Is The Belief—Washington, D. C., July

— One might almost be expected to believe that education of the youth of the country is a National political issue in 1948.

Government statistics show that in 1870 illiteracy in the United States was 20 percent. The average percent of illiteracy among native whites in the United States is less than two percent.

To say that the support of local schools is not the responsibility of the communities in which children live is dodging the issue. It is just as much the duty of parents in small districts to send their children to school as it is to put clothes on their backs and food in their stomachs.

The trouble that exists in nearly every part of the United States is the growing demand that the National Government must furnish the means and money to carry on all kinds of civic responsibilities, including paying the teachers and all the school expenses.

The Federal Government cannot—and will not—do a better job for public schools than local communities.

Jackson's death created a wave of empathy in Westminster

Jackson's death created a wave of empathy in Westminster

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff Posted on http://www.explorecarroll.com/ 7/19/09

Photo credit: Daguerreotype of Andrew Jackson, possibly taken by Edward Anthony, April, 1845

It's been hard to make sense of the media frenzy over the death of the enormously talented Michael Jackson. Although I greatly admired his talent; I mourned more for his tragic life, which appears to have precipitated his death.

Of course, for someone like myself, the timing of his death prompted recollections that on July 19, 1845, Westminster paused to mourn the death of another famous Jackson: President Andrew Jackson.

Many folks may know him better as the guy on the $20 bill, but he was the seventh president of the United States, and served from 1829 to 1837.

Jackson died June 8, 1845 at age 78. According to "The Complete Book of U.S. Presidents," by William A. DeGregorio, his last days "were spent in great discomfort, eased only slightly by opiates. Chronic tuberculosis left him with one functioning lung, and that one was impaired. His right eye went blind from a cataract. Dropsy puffed his features. Diarrhea sapped his strength." At one point on the morning of June 8, he had lapsed into unconsciousness, "although a touch of brandy revived him."

Democratic Advocate, June 22, 1945 - Sugar To Affect Coca-Cola Supply

This day in history:
Democratic Advocate, June 22, 1945 - Sugar To Affect Coca-Cola Supply - W. C. Meredith, President Of Coca-Cola Co., Announces The Quality Will Be Maintained - The supply of Coca-Cola in Westminster definitely will be affected by the further curtailment in the supply of sugar after July 1st because the manufacturer of that popular drink will not compromise with the use of substitutes.

However, an equitable system of rationing will be maintained in Westminster during the shortage, according to W. C. Meredith. President of the Westminster Coca-Cola Bottling Company.

The O. P. A. announced that the allotment of sugar to industrial users would be cut to 50% of the sugar used in the third quarter of 1941, effective July 1st.

"I am informed that this sugar shortage is world-wide and not merely national and is directly attributed to the confusion in the production and distribution of sugar occasioned by the war," said Mr. Meredith.

"Sugar is absolutely necessary in the manufacture of Coca-Cola. We cannot and will not use sweetening substitutes, and therefore when sugar is short, there must be a shortage in the amount of Coca-Cola, but you can be certain that the quality of Coca-Cola will remain unchanged.
