Eagle Archive: A New Windsor summer made glorious by William Shakespeare

Eagle Archive: A New Windsor summer made glorious by William Shakespeare

By Kevin Dayhoff, August 26, 2012: https://wp.me/p8C7tH-am On the morning of Aug. 22, in 1485, a defining moment in English history took place with the death of Richard III in the Battle of Bosworth Field.

This of course, leads us directly to the summer of 1938 at Blue Ridge College in New Windsor.

Well, sorta-kinda.

I'll explain … after I wax poetic with William Shakespeare: "Now is the winter of our discontent, Made glorious summer by this son of York…"

Many will recognize that these lines appear in Shakespeare's "Richard III" — the last play of a study in history of the Wars of Roses by Shakespeare, which includes, "Henry VI, parts 1, 2 and 3," "Richard II" and "Henry V." Of all of Shakespeare's work, "Richard III" remains my favorite (followed by, on any given day, "As You Like It").

January 10, 2003 - 15-years ago - “Uniontown Road gets facelift” by Jamie Schmidt - Jamie Wagman.

“Uniontown Road gets facelift” By Jamie Schmidt, Times Staff Writer, Friday, January 10, 2003

For months, construction workers have been working in Westminster on Uniontown Road, from the intersection of Old New Windsor Road and West Main Street to the intersection of West Main Street and Md. 31.

Thomas B. Beyard, Westminster's director of planning and public works, said that the estimated $1.8 million road repair project was first envisioned 10 years ago.

Back then, the road was without sidewalks, a drainage system, or adequate water lines, he said.

"It had numerous bumps and was too narrow," he said.

"There were no sidewalks - people used to walk in the street. There were utility patches, too. It was in very poor shape."

Finksburg-based Meekins Construction is building retaining walls, sidewalks and a storm drain.

"Because they aren't doing paving work, most [construction] is underground," Beyard said. "It is difficult on the workers during snowfall, but big projects always carry into bad seasons."

Construction began in the late summer and Beyard said he expects the project to end in the early summer.

"People will definitely notice the benefits," he said. "A new water service will improve water for people in that area."

Beyard said that the city dealt with 15 to 20 property owners on this project. Uniontown Road resident Charles Dukehart said he is looking forward to the end of construction. The Dukehart family uses a back alley to get in and out of the neighborhood.

Currently, local traffic is allowed through the street, but normal traffic won't resume until the spring.

"We are trying to keep as much traffic off as possible right now for safety concerns," Beyard said.

Packing Smart and Traveling Light

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.

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.
