1950 Westminster Sammy Safety traffic safety reminder

http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/07/1950-westminster-sammy-safety-traffic.html

Throughout the history of the city of Westminster, the community has felt strongly about traffic and pedestrian safety. Much of the early history of the police department was full of stories about enforcement matters involving speeding horse and buggies and pedestrian safety. In this picture, from around 1950, a sign character we called “Sammy Safety,” at the corner of Liberty Street and West Main Street at the railroad tracks, proudly proclaims “No traffic deaths since Sept. 3, 1949. Although I have long since forgotten, oral history used to recite the story of the Sept. 3, 1949 traffic death as a cautionary tale.

Johansson's Restaurant in Westminster, MD

Johansson's History

A long time ago....during World War II, aboard the Finland/South American Lines, David Johansson was but a gleam in Chef Birger Johansson's eye. It may however explain young David's early desire to become a restaurateur.

And so the story goes, after twenty years in the Carroll County area, David finally found a home at 4 West Main Street. The rich history of the building was always attractive to David. Having been built 1913, it housed a clothing store and tailor shop until 1940 when it was leased to G. C. Murphy for the next forty years.

In 1980 Terry Burke opened The Treat Shop on the first floor. At that time an antique mall occupied the basement. When the antique mall closed a restaurant called The Cellar Door Johansson's Dining House of downtown Westminster Maryland opened.

With the opening of Cranberry Mall in 1987, The Treat Shop moved its retail operation there and The Cellar Door went out of business.

It was at this time that David Johansson leased the downstairs and opened Champs. When the building became available for sale in 1994, David's dream came full circle and so began construction of Johansson's Dining House. Not long after came the construction of Johansson's Microbrewery.

Westminster – Sheriff Jim DeWees was sworn in as the 58th Sheriff of Carroll County during an inauguration ceremony at Carroll Community College’s Scott Auditorium on Tuesday, December 2, 2014. Sheriff DeWees is a retired Captain with the Maryland State Police and is the first new Sheriff of Carroll County in 16 years. Sheriff DeWees won both contested primary and general elections by overwhelming margins to become Sheriff. Sheriff DeWees took control of the sheriff’s office from retiring Sheriff Kenneth Tregoning, who was first elected to office in 1998.

Sheriff DeWees was raised in Carroll County and is a 1988 graduate of South Carroll High School in Winfield, Maryland. He holds a Bachelors of Arts degree in Criminal Justice from Mount Saint Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland and a Masters of Arts degree in Human Resource Development from Seton Hall University in Trenton, New Jersey. Sheriff DeWees is also a graduate of the Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command.

Sheriff DeWees is married with three children who attend Carroll County Public Schools. His wife of 16 years, Heather, is a teacher for Carroll County Public Schools and the girls’ varsity basketball coach at Manchester Valley High School. Sheriff DeWees is the second youngest of the six children of Joan and the late Thomas DeWees of Thurmont, Maryland.

Sheriff DeWees retired as a Captain from the Maryland State Police. His career with the Maryland State Police started after high school when he became a cadet at the age of 18. Sheriff DeWees rose through the ranks of the Maryland State Police and held numerous operational and command assignments within the organization. Sheriff DeWees spent the majority of his career as a patrol and investigative trooper, supervisor and barrack commander in Carroll County, assigned to the Westminster Barrack. Sheriff DeWees was commander of both the Westminster and Golden Ring Barracks, Operations Commander for the Washington Metropolitan Area and ended his 25-year career as the Special Operations Division Commander, overseeing Emergency Operations, K9, S.T.A.T.E. Team and the Motor Unit. He also served as an instructor at the State Police Academy. For most of his career, Sheriff DeWees served as an operator, team leader and commander of the Maryland State Police SWAT Team known as S.T.A.T.E.

In 1998, Sheriff DeWees was awarded the Governor’s Citation of Valor after he shot the gun out of a suicidal man’s hand, ending a two-hour standoff in Keymar, Maryland. He is also a recipient of the Superintendent’s Citation of Valor for his role in ending two separate armed standoffs in 2000 and 2002. Sheriff DeWees has received numerous awards for excellence in investigations and leadership.

Sheriff DeWees brings a diverse background of law enforcement experience and leadership to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. Continuing a career of public service, Sheriff DeWees now leads 260 dedicated employees who staff a full service law enforcement agency providing road patrol and criminal investigative services, a detention center, and courthouse security. Sheriff DeWees considers it one of the highest honors of his career to serve the citizens of Carroll County as their Sheriff.

Sheriff DeWees appointed Eldersburg resident Larry Suther as Chief Deputy of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. Suther is a retired major from the Baltimore County Police Department where he spent 38 years working his way through the ranks from cadet to major and retiring as commander of the Special Operations Division. Suther will hold the rank of Colonel and oversee the operations for the Office. Colonel Suther has extensive operational, tactical and investigative experience. Colonel Suther holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Baltimore and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy.

Sheriff DeWees also appointed Manchester resident Vicky McDonold as Director of the Management Services Bureau. Director McDonold comes to the Sheriff’s Office from the private sector where she was a project manager for Automatic Data Processing (ADP) in Owings Mills. Director McDonold holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Towson University in finance and a Master’s Degree from University of Maryland University College in Technology Management.
