CC 181st birthday celebration

CC 181st birthday celebration: At the Historical Society's 181st birthday celebration at Grace Hall in Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster. This year's event features musicians David and Ginger Hildebrand who are performing "the patriotic songs, ballads, marches, dance tunes and theater songs popular in early Maryland while wearing appropriate period costumes," as explained by an excellent article by Michel Elben in the Carroll County Times the other day: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/cc-weekahead-011418-story.html 20Jan2018

Packing Smart and Traveling Light

By Rick Steves Retrieved Jan. 20, 2018

https://www.ricksteves.com/travel-tips/packing-light/packing-smart

The importance of packing light cannot be overemphasized, but, for your own good, I’ll try. You’ll never meet a traveler who, after five trips, brags: “Every year I pack heavier.” The measure of a good traveler is how light he or she travels. You can’t travel heavy, happy, and cheap. Pick two.

One Bag, That’s It

My self-imposed limit is 20 pounds in a 9" × 21" × 14" carry-on-size bag (it’ll fit in your airplane’s overhead bin, at least on your transatlantic flight — though many European airlines restrict hand luggage to even smaller weights and dimensions). At my company, we’ve taken tens of thousands of people of all ages and styles on tours through Europe. We allow only one carry-on bag. For many, this is a radical concept: 9" × 21" × 14"? That’s my cosmetics kit! But they manage, and they’re glad they did. After you enjoy that sweet mobility and freedom, you’ll never go any other way.

Sunday school at Grace Lutheran Church

Sunday school at Grace Lutheran Church. Our discussion is about our spiritual and vocational callings. The springboard for the discussion was 1 Samuel 3: 1-10. "Here I am , you called me." 14Jan2018

Sunday morning 9 am church service at Grace Lutheran

Sunday morning 9 am church service at Grace Lutheran Church. It's 14 degrees outside, but warm and affirming here at Grace. www.gracelc.org Today the council officers are being installed. Pastor Martha's message was about the lessons of 1 Samuel 3:1-10 and John 1:43-51... I liked the part when Nathaniel said, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?"

It is a rainy day in historic downtown Westminster. I am grabbing a bite to eat at Giulianova. Checking out the train and my display at Off Track Art, and enjoying the comings and goings, hustle and bustle of passers-by. Sat. 12Jan2018

Doesn’t everyone have a reclining chair sitting on the back of the truck?

What? Doesn't everyone have a reclining chair sitting on the back of the truck? We disposed of our old recliner today and our household is sad. Please join in a moment of silence over the loss of our chair. We are taking it hard. 12Jan2018

May 2, 2017: Westminster City Council candidate: Ann Thomas Gilbert

May 2, 2017: Westminster City Council candidate: Ann Thomas Gilbert

Profession: Adult Service Case worker for the Department of Social Services

Years Experience: 18+ years

Education: McDaniel College- Master of Science in Counseling Education; May 2009; University of Maryland Baltimore County, Bachelor of Arts; 1989

Community Groups involved in: Member of Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster, Member of the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce, Member of the Carroll Leadership Class of 2012, and Member of the Healthy Aging Leadership Team

Past Political Experience: None

Campaign priorities

1. Public safety- This is a multifaceted issue that needs to be addressed more vigorously and with greater focus. Improved public safety includes efforts to reduce the sale and use of drugs, to develop options for our homeless population and to deal with the crime issue. We need to collaborate with our service agencies and law enforcement to seek their suggestions and input. Partnering with local colleges, the health department, and local agencies to expand services will help to address these issues. By sharing our ideas and resources together we can progress toward a safer more attractive community. Offering more downtown family activities such as the successful Flower and Jazz fest, the wine stroll, and concerts in the park will increase exposure to all the city has to offer and will create a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

2. Utilizing the Broadband project to attract new business and create jobs is an effort that needs continued support. This service puts our City in the forefront of modern technology to expand and develop business opportunities. By creating a business friendly atmosphere, we will stimulate economic growth. This accompanied with efforts to support law enforcement to reduce crime and the sale and use of drugs will make the downtown area safer and more appealing to our citizens and to future businesses.

3. Improving communication between the city administration, the council and the citizens of Westminster. To do this we can begin to broadcast council meetings on local programming. Create a newsletter from the council and to offer informal activities to enable communication with citizens; such as scheduled walks in neighborhoods, meet and greet sessions at local restaurants or business. This will allow us as representatives of your city to hear your concerns and hopefully praises as well.

Carroll County Times - Letter: Police salaries in Carroll among lowest in state

Carroll County Times - Letter: Police salaries in Carroll among lowest in state http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2017/02/letter-police-salaries-in-carroll-among.html

February 4, 2017 by Brandon Holland, Westminster, The writer is the president of Carroll County FOP Lodge 20.

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/opinion/letters/ph-cc-letters-0205-holland-20170204-story.html

Recently, the Carroll County Times reported on our sheriff and state's attorney seeking pay increases for the next election cycle. A related editorial asked whether the salaries for Carroll County employees' are too low. I am the president of Carroll County's Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 20, and I am writing to confirm that Carroll County has some of the lowest-paid police in the state.

Read much more here: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/opinion/letters/ph-cc-letters-0205-holland-20170204-story.html

Every day the national media has a story about a police shooting, or a negative article claiming misconduct by an officer. The Times recently printed an article on local deputies leaving for higher pay or to start another career outside of law enforcement ("Sheriff's Office Loses Three Deputies" – Jan. 13, 2017). One deputy left the agency to start an entirely new career, citing the current negative atmosphere in law enforcement as his reason for leaving. Thankfully, that negative atmosphere is not evident in Carroll County and law enforcement is very well supported by our citizens.

Law enforcement personnel in Carroll County do an outstanding job, frequently resorting to their training and experience to diffuse and de-escalate difficult situations that could've brought the national spotlight to Carroll County. The crime rate in Carroll County is low and has been for years. That low crime rate is directly attributable to the quality of policing in the county. The same policing that is being underpaid. Compared to agencies of similar size and responsibilities like Harford, Frederick and St. Mary's counties, Carroll County Sheriff's patrol deputies are paid on average 11 percent lower than those agencies. The disparity continues as a deputy goes up in rank and takes on additional responsibilities, with an average of 20-30 percent lower pay than these same agencies. This is also the case for corrections deputies and officers from Carroll municipalities as they are paid significantly lower salaries across the board than their counterparts in other counties.

It is not my intention to paint a picture of doom and gloom as there are a lot of good benefits to working in Carroll County and I know that Carroll County Sheriff's deputies take special pride in the quality of their work. Nor should the current situation be attributed to the current Board of Commissioners as they inherited this problem; however, they do have an opportunity to right the ship and I think it is incumbent on them to do so.

Brandon Holland, Westminster, The writer is the president of Carroll County FOP Lodge 20.

January 29, 2015 KED

On Friday, February 9, 2007, Dick Hull retired from Carroll Land Services. The creative genius that made Carroll Land Services so successful can still be seen through the lens of his camera.

Find his latest work at the Carroll Arts Center in an exhibit with the Carroll Camera Club’s annual exhibition, Lens Flair.” http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-carroll-county-camera-club-20150120,0,2829628.story

According to Carroll County Times writer Jacob deNobel, the exhibition started on Thursday, January 22, 2015 and is “running until Feb. 28. The exhibition features photography from the group's 38 members and families, with subjects including nature photography, still-lifes, abstract images and landscapes

[…]

Mr. deNobel quotes Mr. Hull to remark, “Richard Hull, a nature photographer from Manchester who will be exhibiting in the show, said he began taking pictures in the mid-'80s when he became involved with underwater photography. When he bought his first digital camera in 2005, he had trouble with the new technology, though soon embraced the tech wholeheartedly.

“‘I’m not a computer guy, so to learn computers and the programs was pretty tough," Hull said. "In my opinion, it really is superior a lot of the time, even though there are people who would hate to hear me say it.’”

ManneqART Announces 2015 Events Schedule

ManneqART has announced its 2015 Competition which features the following unique and exciting events:

· March 28-29 Sculpture on the Human Form Workshop for students and beginning artists

· April 30--Artworks entry deadline

· June 21 ManneqART Madness--Public introduction of the 2015 artworks

· September 12-26 Public Display of Artworks

· September 27 Gala and Stage Show

ManneqART is a 501c3 nonprofit arts and education organization and competition based in Howard County, focused on bringing the Wearable Arts to the public.

Now in its third year, it’s mission is to inspire creativity and reward excellence in the field of wearable art. ManneqART reaches out to beginning and accomplished artists of all ages and skill levels and invites them to think outside their comfort zones to create artworks unlike anything our community has seen in the past. A gallery of more than 150 artworks created by ManneqART contestants from 30+ states can be seen at:

http://manneqart.org/

Since ManneqART was founded in 2013, it has become an exciting Howard County arts event and a part of the Columbia Festival of the Arts. Nearly 200 artworks have been presented to the community, including over 100 shown at 16 Howard County locations for two weeks in September, 2014.

Last year's entries included artworks from 19 states made of all kinds of materials, from metals and paper, to spray foam and melted plastic bags. Artist awards totaling $10,000 were presented to artists in several categories.

For 2015, ManneqART has entered into a Partnership Agreement with the Howard County Public Schools System to train students to create 3-dimension, wearable art. Studies suggest that arts training might be related to improvements in math or reading skills.

A March 28-29 Workshop will feature accomplished wearable artists teaching students and others how to work with materials, structure and colors to create artworks for the 2015 Competition.

ManneqART is unique and growing non-profit but we can't provide these artworks to the Howard County community with the communities support. We are seeking contributions for the 2015 competition. and would be grateful for support in many different forms, including artist sponsorships, events support, in-kind contributions, cash donations, fundraising outreach, volunteers and more.

For more information about entering or supporting the 2015 competition, go to the ManneqART website at www.manneqart.org, email info@manneqart.org or call 301.725.5555

BACKGROUND:

Lee Andersen, a Kiwi from the North Island of New Zealand, founded ManneqArt in 2013, as an innovative nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization created to promote the arts and the artists. ManneqART is patterned after New Zealand's 25 year old World of Wearable Art which attracts artists from all over the world and welcomes 50,000 plus visitors each year to Wellington, NZ. An artist and highly successful "art to wear" fashions designer by trade, Andersen is also well known for her unique knitted fashions worn by both public and private clients, such as Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad. Some of Andersen's cutting edge designs are on display at the Te Papa Museum in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. Today, she manufactures the Lee Andersen Collection at her 16,000 square foot factory in Howard County. Her label is currently found in 800 boutiques in the US and Canada.

More than 100 entries in the 2014 Competition were displayed free to the public for two weeks in September at 16 locations around Howard County. Hundreds of people visited the displays. The June 2014 Hair and Makeup Competition attracted 1000+ visitors to Historic Savage Mill to see all the extreme hair and makeup designs professionally photographed on models wearing the unique 2014 artworks.
