Dayhoff: Carroll made great by many who have recently passed away

By Kevin Dayhoff January 27, 2017 Our community lost a number of distinguished community leaders in 2016. http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/features/history/ph-cc-dayhoff-012917-20170127-column.html

Recently, a number of us gathered to trade stories and pay our respects to Woody Swam at the Eckhardt Funeral Chapel in Manchester.

[…]

“An old African proverb says, "When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground." This winter I have attended more funerals than I care to recall. Many of the folks were in their 80s or 90s. Community leaders, who by their sacrifice, hard work, and endeavor, helped make Carroll County what it is we enjoy today. In their passing, they take volumes of history with them…”

[…]

Our community lost a number of distinguished community leaders in 2016. Folks such as T. Bryan McIntire, who passed away on Dec. 16 at age 86. McIntire served as the Carroll County state's attorney from 1962 to 1970.

Dave Schaeffer, 96, died on Dec. 20. After Schaeffer served in the Army during World War II, he started the Schaeffer Lumber Company in 1946 with his dad, and his brother.

“My Westminster High School class of 1971 classmates Bob Hyer and Doug Menchey died in 2016. Menchey worked for many folks in Carroll County with the Menchey Construction Company. Hyer was a 1975 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy…”

We demand that the US government create a Lutheran registry

We demand that the US government create a Lutheran registry. Just saying.

I’ll just leave this right here:

"As Lutherans, many of our ancestors faced the pain of having to flee our homes and the joy of being welcomed in new communities across the United States. As we have done throughout history, I urge our elected officials to honor our biblical witness as well as the best of our nation’s traditions of refuge and stand firmly against any policies that result in scaling back the refugee resettlement program." - The Rev. Elisabeth A. Eaton, Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – Retrieved Jan. 27, 2017

I am a Matthew chapter 25 chaplain to give voice to those often without a voice, to give form to my love of "other,” because I hate bullies and bullying, because God has called me as a chaplain to be welcoming and showing hospitality and mercy to all.

Leviticus 19:34: The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

January 29, 2006: Move-in begins for Carroll County Nonprofit Center - By Mary Gail Hare, Sun reporter

This day in history: January 29, 2006: Move-in begins for nonprofits (at Carroll County Nonprofit Center) By Mary Gail Hare, Sun reporter

Twenty charitable agencies in the county will soon make their home in a new $6 million office building

By Mary Gail Hare, Sun reporter

Originally published January 29, 2006 – Sadly, the link no longer works and I could not find the article when I searched for it on the The Sun website….. KED/Jan. 29, 2017

Instead of struggling to pay monthly rent for what was for many cramped quarters, 20 of Carroll County's benevolent organizations are moving into free office suites, tailored to their specific needs.

The Carroll County Nonprofit Center, a nearly $6 million structure near downtown Westminster, will provide offices and conference and meeting areas, as well as furniture and equipment, to the Community Foundation, Head Start, the Literacy Council and the local branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Meals on Wheels and Habitat for Humanity, among others.

"Because they won't have to pay rent, these organizations will have money to do more programs, buy more equipment and hire more staff," said Audrey Cimino, director of the Community Foundation.

Dee Hines, coordinator for the Literacy Council, said the agency's new office will offer more space for clients and tutors.

"The savings in rent will give us money for more books and materials," she said. "This is such a great gift to the community."

Anverse Inc., a Georgia-based charity, broke ground on the three-story building last year after paying nearly $700,000 for the 3-acre lot in Westminster's Englar Business Park. The charity built the 40,000-square-foot center and is asking the tenants to pay only the utility costs.

The building, which Anverse officials call "our guinea pig," includes a research library, small meeting rooms and kitchens, as well as the office suites. Its 1,900-square-foot conference room will be available to any nonprofit organization in the county.

"Every space has been tailored to what the organization needs," said Mark Krider, project and building manager. "We asked them what they have now and what they need. Then, we made the space for them."

Anverse is also building work stations and furnishing much of the building, with some help from the community. A department store provided toys to Head Start, the federally funded early-childhood program. Another Westminster company, when it relocated, offered the center 13 office suites.

"They gave us every stick of furniture, all good stuff," said Cimino. "We have desks, conference tables, bookcases, all made out of wood."

Anverse will continue to provide landscaping, maintenance and housekeeping services - an estimated $300,000 annual expense, company officials said. Every tenant will have access to the Internet and be interconnected by telephone.

"Organizations will be neighbors, who will get to know each other," Cimino said. "The ripple effect will be incredible. We will all help each other just by our presence."

The library will include information on thousands of grant resources that may help tenants find funding.

"The whole concept is sharing resources," Krider said. "We even have break rooms, where people can collaborate on projects."

[…]

The building is the first of its kind in Maryland, said Krider, who added that he hopes other corporations emulate it.

"This building is a totally unique opportunity for all of us," Cimino said. "We need to make the most of it so Anverse will do it someplace else."

1962 in Ocean City: The Great March Storm of 1962

*****

The next meeting “Carroll CAN” will take place at the Carroll County Public Library in Westminster on Feb. 12, 2017 2 p.m.

Updated pictures - Feb. 18, 2017

The next meeting “Carroll CAN” will take place at the Carroll County Public Library in Westminster on Feb. 12, 2017 2 p.m.

At the January 26^th, 2017 meeting of the Carroll County NAACP, Pam Zappardino reported that a grass roots organization has formed in Carroll to advocate for positive changes in the community.

The next meeting “Carroll CAN” - organized by “Together We Will,” will take place at the Carroll County Public Library in Westminster on Feb. 12, 2017 2 p.m. This will be about the 3^rd meeting. More information may be found on the organization’s website here: https://carrollcan.org/

++++++++++++++++++

The next meeting “Carroll CAN” will take place at the Carroll County Public Library in Westminster on Feb. 12, 2017 2 p.m.

According to recent information on the Carroll Can listserve:

“…Come to the Carroll CAN meeting at Westminster library at 2pm today! -AND/OR- If you are able to do so, please sign up to help with a committee that you may have an interest in or maybe even start your own if there is a need. We'd love to have some more people offer their knowledge on specific topics as well to add content to our website and keep the group informed.

“Some examples of the volunteer needs are: Writer of Weekly/Monthly newsletter and Representatives’ Calendars Liaison - report to communications/social media chairs when representatives will have town halls”

“Are you new to Carroll CAN? Are you wondering who we are and what we have done?

We began with a meeting in November 2016 at a Denny’s in Westminster. We used the time to feel empowered and encouraged that a group had formed (we were only 300 members on a Facebook group site at the time, but just that was so exciting at the time!). We shared our stories about why we had come, and there was a common theme of “I thought I was the only one.” The overwhelming feeling was one of relief to have found fellow Carroll County residents who shared the same values and concerns.

And then we hit the ground running!

We developed an organizational and leadership structure, which continues to grow as we find our groove.

We organized a bus to attend the Women’s March on Washington. That wound up becoming 3 buses, with 136 passengers! For many, it was their first march and their first moment of activism! We had a volunteer design our green “March On” buttons that we now wear proudly. After the march, a group of marchers went to a local restaurant for dinner, still in their pink hats, and they received applause and invited others to join our group!

We programmed our representatives’ numbers into our phones, and faced our nervousness and discomfort by making calls to their offices. We have now become comfortable with something that most of us had never done before 2017!

We met for monthly meetings, and the rooms were packed with energy and ideas.

We developed a list of local businesses to support due to our common values and interests.

We built a website, and received donations to host the site for the next year!

Some awesome stats: Our website has had 3,952 views in the last 30 days (as of 2/8/17).

We made a public Carroll CAN Facebook page so people can find us and see our calls to action.

Some more awesome stats: In just the first eight days of February, we have had 696 visits! Our Carroll CAN public Facebook page grew at 14.5% last week, which is better than the Together We Will USA page and Pantsuit District page. We engage more users than Indivisible, TWW-MD, and Pantsuit District!

We have a Call to Action team that verifies and disseminates an action item that we can do every day! They post these calls to action on the website, facebook page and twitter.

We increased communication by having an email liaison send the content of the facebook page to those who are not on facebook.

We developed a logo that signifies our awareness that we are stronger as a united team. We once felt alone because of our values, and now we have both comfort and unified action because of our togetherness.

We had members who went to BWI to show support to refugees and immigrants on the day the bad went into effect. We have members who gather on Main Street in Westminster on Saturdays with signs that have messages of inclusion, kindness, and support.

We have organized a Town Hall Meeting on 3/2/17 focused on the Affordable Care Act! We have invited our representatives to attend, and we are hopeful they will.

We organized small groups that meet at local restaurants for support and brainstorming.

We have amazing passion and motivation! People who have never been engaged in anything like this before have stepped up to lead a subcommittee! People who made a suggestion wound up being willing to make that suggestion happen! All it takes is that first thought of “Can I do ___?” and you will get a resounding and supportive, “Yes you CAN!”

We have managed to add activism and volunteering to our already full plates. We have given our talents without expectation of recognition nor reimbursement. We have learned new skills and been willing to go outside our comfort zones.

We are Carroll CAN—an action-focused, action-packed community network of kind, compassionate, and dedicated Carroll County residents. Together, we have, we will, and we CAN.
