At the Westminster Library for a celebration of Davis’ contributions to our community

May 1, 2016 Sunday - Caroline, Grammy, Marian, and I joined many friends, colleagues, and community leaders, and the fantastic staff of the Carroll Co. Public Library for a celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Walter H. Davis' contributions to our community.
Could not agree more with what Del. Susan Krebs said on her Facebook page, "Celebrated Davis Day at the Westminster library, honoring Walter H. Davis who started the first public library in Carroll County in 1951. What a legacy he left to Carroll Countians!"
Thank you Del. Susan Krebs, Mark Krebs, and Commissioners Dennis Frazier, and Stephen Wantz, and Kathy Zepp Wantz, Paul Zimmermann, for always taking the time, often away from your families, in spite of extremely busy schedules; to show - up at our community events.
A big thank you goes out to the staff and board of the Carroll County Public Library for all your hard work on developing so many arts and cultural community and social events for Carroll County; including folks such as Kati Hoffman, Jennifer Boatman, Lisa Picker, and Lynn Wheeler.

April 18, 1999 Baltimore Sun: Westminster Main Street Mile



“18th annual Main Street Mile draws field of nearly 300 to downtown Westminster.”

Nearly 300 people, ages 4 to 75, ran down Main Street for the 18th annual Main Street Mile Wednesday night.

Medals and ice cream sundaes piled high with toppings were plentiful. So were red faces, shouts of cheer and calls of ''Your time ... what was your time?"

"When I came down to the finish line, it felt like my feet were burning," said 9-year-old Laura Getty, daughter of Del. Joseph M. Getty. Like many, the Gettys made the mile run a family affair. Madison, 4, the youngest of the participants, crossed the finish line last with her father in a time of 13:23:04. Her sister, Emma, and brothers, Justis, and Nathan Getty, also participated.

Andrew Glaser, a first-grader at Linton Springs Elementary School, took a slow, chat-while­ you-jog pace. His mother, Laura Fondi, jogged barefoot on the sidewalk beside him.

"These are the only shoes I had," she said, adding that there was little time between work and the Main Street Mile. Her other son, Michael, a fourth-grader at the same school, raced ahead and promised to meet at the finish line.

Main Street Mile is sponsored by the Westminster Road Runners Club. It attracts runners from all over the state because the down­hill slope offers an opportunity for record times. "The run went really well. More people pre-registered, we moved registration to the new fire hall, and everything ran smoothly," said Linda Galinaitis, treasurer and a member of the board of directors for WRRC.

Top results of this year's Main Street Mile include:

A family member returned to Inova Fairfax Hospital in northern Virginia for a follow-up procedure today.


Wed. April 27, 2016 a family member returned to Inova Fairfax Hospital in northern Virginia for a follow-up procedure today.

She also took the opportunity to have a reunion with many of the awesome nurses in the ICU unit where she spent much of this past Jan. and Feb. We really appreciated the opportunity to thank everyone from the bottom of our heart.

We had an incredibly positive experience with Fairfax Hospital. Not only was her medical care excellent, but everyone there was so nice, friendly and helpful, in spite of the fact that this is a huge, ginormous metropolitan Washington DC medical facility.

Everyone from the administration to the staff to the medical professionals went out if their way to be friendly, and helpful.

Our extended family practically lived there throughout her hospitalization and the hospital staff could not have been more accommodating.

"See you in Sunday School Westminster United Methodist Church." I found this button the other day while going through the contents of a box that I have not seen in ages. I wonder when I got it? It does not seem to be that old, yet I have not attended Westminster United Methodist Church since the early 1990s.

October 20, 2013: Carroll County firefighters respond to fire at Vetville in Westminster

 


October 20, 2013: Carroll County firefighters respond to fire at Vetville in Westminster http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2013/10/october-20-2013-carroll-county.html 

By Kevin E. Dayhoff, kevindayhoff@gmail.com Sunday, October 20, 2013

 
Carroll County volunteer firefighters from throughout the county responded Sunday afternoon to a laundry room fire at “Vetville” in the 100 unit block of Wimert Avenue, near Sullivan Avenue and Route 140 in northwest Westminster.

The complex, known locally as “Vetville,” dates back to 1946, when the housing units were built “by the government for the GIs who are attending or will attend Western Maryland College under the GI Bill of Rights,” according to a newspaper account in the now-defunct Democratic Advocate.

“A one-story construction, set up on cement blocks, with a brick-like celetex finish, they will fill the hopes of many GIs who plan to finish their education with their families. The apartments are made up of living room, two bedrooms, two closets and a kitchen, to be fully equipped with sink, stove and refrigerator…”

It is believed that the last fire occurred in Vetville on November 2, 2003, when, “A two-alarm fire … destroyed a four-unit apartment building in Westminster, but its eight residents, including two children, escaped without injuries,” according to an article in the Baltimore Sun.
