Inaugural gay pride event planned for Westminster on July 7th, 2018
Westminster, Md. June 4, 2018 - - After months of meetings
and preparations, a group of Carroll County citizens have formed to develop
plans to hold an inaugural gay pride event, The Westminster Pride Festival, in
Westminster. The newly formed Westminster Pride Planning Committee is a
consortium of civic, business, nonprofit, and church leaders who have joined
together with community leaders and members of the LGBTQ+ community and their
allies.
The planned event, The Westminster Pride Festival is
believed to be the first of its kind in our community. It will take place on
July 7, 2018 from noon to 5 p.m. in the 200 block of East Main Street, between
Church and Court Streets. Permits for the event have been issued from the City
of Westminster.
All
proceeds from The Westminster Pride Festival will be donated to the Westminster
Pride Festival Fund, which is a fund of the Community Foundation of Carroll
County. The fund is the very first LGBTQ+ fund at the Community Foundation with
a specific focus on the LGBTQ+ community.
According to information from the planning committee, The
Westminster Pride Festival seeks to raise the visibility of the LGBTQ+
community in Westminster and Carroll County. “It is time we showed our pride in
our community,” said Jason Garber, who along with his husband Lance Garber have
been planning this event with a core group of dedicated volunteers.
“We have made Westminster and Carroll County our home,” said
Garber, a McDaniel graduate and former president of McDaniel chapter of Allies.
“My husband and I enjoy living in this very close knit and accepting community,
and we want to celebrate Pride Month with all the friends, family and allies we
have.”
‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month’ - LGBT
Pride Month is currently celebrated annually in the month of June to honor the
1969 Stonewall Inn civil unrest in New York City, otherwise known as the
“Stonewall Riots,” that took place following a police raid on the Stonewall
Inn, a gay bar at 43 Christopher Street, in Manhattan. In subsequent years,
marches, parades, festivals, and events have been scheduled in the spring to
shed additional light on the civil rights of the gay and lesbian community.
According to various media accounts, ever since the initial Christopher
Street Liberation Day on June 28, 1970 marked the first anniversary of the
Stonewall riots, the participants have encountered very little resistance from
onlookers.
This year, in Carroll County, it was decided by the
organizing committee that in order to be respectful of other Pride events that
are taking place in Baltimore, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Frederick, MD,
The Westminster Pride Festival wanted to kick off its inaugural year with no
calendar conflicts. “People do generally celebrate pride with more than one festival,
especially on the east coast where it is easy to make it to various pride parades
and festivals.” said Garber.
Founding sponsors of The Westminster Pride Festival include
Random House Penguin, MerMaids, and Birdie’s Café. The committee is made up of
over twenty volunteers, who have dedicated many hours to ensure the success of
this event.
The mission of the Westminster Pride Festival, according to
the planning committee, is to assure the success of a yearly festival that includes
information, support, music, art, food and overall acceptance and solidarity
within the LGBTQ+ community, their allies and the Carroll County community.
According to the planning committee, The Westminster Pride
Festival looks forward to creating a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community to
express and affirm themselves, increase visibility and foster respect for those
who want to express their own sexual and gender identity.
“We endeavor to make this a yearly event that will
ultimately lead to scholarships for the education of LGBTQ+ students,” said
Sherri Hosfeld-Joseph, owner of Birdie’s Café and founding member of the
Westminster Pride Festival. “This is something our community is clearly longing
for… We look forward to an outpouring of support from our community in support
of our LGBTQ+ friends, family members and loved ones.”
Vendors will include local restaurants including Maggie’s,
Bud’s at Silver Run, The Food Chick, Starry Night Bakery and many others.
Entertainment will be provided by local bands, Henry and the
Big Sleazy, The Flying Faders, Brinjal Band, The Dune Flowers, Faceplant and DJ
powerline.
Information on healthcare, counseling services, and
resources for the LGBTQ+ community and their allies will be available as well.
Families are encouraged to attend with children to enjoy
food, games, activities and a day full of information and affirmation.
Merchandise commemorating the inaugural event will be for sale on the planning
committee’s website as well as the day of the festival.
For more information on how
to become a vendor or sponsor, email the planning committee at westminsterpridefest@gmail.com, or visit the website at www.westminsterpride.org or go to the Westminster Pride Festival Facebook page at @westminsterpridefest. Visit the site to obtain

On Friday evening, May 20, 2016 the home of the family of Hugh
and Carla Hynes was destroyed by a tragic accidental fire due to a mechanical
failure of their neighbor’s air conditioning unit.
According to the Maryland State Fire Marshall’s office, “Investigators
determined a mechanical failure lead to the A/C unit exploding, causing the
fire. Both the owner and the neighbor attempted to extinguish the fire with a
garden hose to no avail. The fire spread rapidly upwards into the roof of the
home causing extensive damage to the home and both adjoining units.”
Over 80 firefighters from Carroll and Baltimore Co, and the
Westminster Police Dept. responded with 20 pieces of equipment to a two–alarm
fire in the 200 block of Gallatin Court, north of Westminster off Cranberry Rd.
The first call came into the county emergency communications center at 9:39. A
second alarm was quickly sounded at 9:55.
Several family pets were saved by quick action by the
firefighters on the scene of a two – alarm fire late Friday night in
Westminster. The cats and dogs were attended to by emergency medical personnel,
including vet tech Tanya Andrews who assisted Manchester EMS personnel to
provide emergency oxygen to save the life of a family pet cat stricken by smoke
inhalation late Friday night
Three families were displaced and two townhouses were
destroyed in the blaze, but the fire did not spread farther thanks to the
prompt and well-coordinated response by firefighters. Fire was declared under
control at 1024 pm, but wrap-up and clean-up operations lasted until
approximately 3 am, Sat. morning

Community Foundation of Carroll County honors Philanthropists of the Year
By Kevin Dayhoff 10/21/10
Over 250 community leaders filled the Portico social hall at St. John Catholic Church early Wednesday morning to honor the recipients of the fifth annual Carroll County Philanthropists of the Year awards.
After a breakfast catered by Harry’s Main Street Grille; master of ceremonies, Wayne Wrightson, of WTTR radio in Westminster brought the ceremonies to order.
Steven Loy sang the national anthem and Audrey Cimino, the executive director of the Community Foundation of Carroll County welcomed those attending the annual event.
The coordinator of this year’s event, Jaclyn Mathias, was seen throughout the morning making sure everything ran smoothly.
Among the many introductions, Wrightson gave a special acknowledgment to the sponsors for this year’s ceremonies, Harry Sirinakis of Harry’s Main St. Grill; Lehigh Cement, represented by Mike Fox; Constellation Energy, represented by Mike Fowler.
Also helping sponsor the event were Eileen Gist, Lori Graham, and Jalna Brown of Dutterer’s Florist; Lyndi McNulty of GIZMOS Art; Glenn S. Bair, Support Services, LLC and Martin Hill; and Village Printing and Dean Douglas. “We can’t produce great events like this without the support of involved businesses,” said Wrightson.
In spite of a national economy that continues to lag, local giving in Carroll County appears to be holding it own, according to several folks attending awards ceremony.
An October 17 article in The Chronicle of Philanthropy, a national non-profit news and information publication located in Washington D.C. recently noted:
“Donations to the nation’s biggest charities dropped 11 percent last year, a decline that was the worst in the two decades since The Chronicle started its Philanthropy 400 ranking of the organizations that raise the most from private sources…
“The 400 institutions in the survey raised $68.6-billion in 2009. The drop they suffered in contributions was nearly four times as great as the next biggest annual decrease: 2.8 percent in 2001, when charities also struggled to raise money from recession-battered donors.”
According to Cimino, “Beginning with a gift of $60,000 from the Estate of Rosa B. Null, a Hampstead, Maryland resident, the Community Foundation has grown to 3.4 million dollars in endowments, operations funds, scholarships, and funds managed for other community organizations.
“It is no news to anyone that there are an overwhelming number of organizations and programs now desperately searching for funds. For people with a strong sense of community and personal commitment to make significant contributions to the community in which they live, the choices can be especially demanding.”
Last year, 2009 the recipients were: Family of the Year: Skip and Pat Amass; Business of the Year: Lehigh Cement; Legacy Award: Loring B. Yingling; Non-Profit of the Year: Westminster Lions Club; and Youth of the Year: Chris Anderson.
This year The Community Foundation of Carroll County honored Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bare; the Carroll County Times; the ARC of Carroll County; Msfr. Arthur Valenzano and Josie Grant.
The legacy award recipient was St. John Catholic Church Msgr. Arthur Valenzano who was nominated by Teresa Richardson. Valenzano was the pastor of St. John Church for over 17 years, observed Wrightson.
“During his tenure as pastor, he has taken the St. John community and increased its awareness within the Carroll community,” continued Wrightson.
After a long list of accomplishments and accolades, Wrightson noted that Valenzano has recently moved-on from his responsibilities in Westminster “to take a position as rector of the Basilica of Baltimore.”
This year’s youth award went to Josie Grant, who was nominated by Amy Zepp.
“Josie Grant began her quest to make a difference in the lives of pediatric patients at Carroll Hospital Center in August 2008 for personal and community reasons,” said Wrightson.
“Josie initially contributed $75 of her own money, which was matched by family and friends, to begin her foundation called, “Josie’s Smiles for Pediatrics,” explained Wrightson.
The non-profit recipient this year is The Arc of Carroll County. Wrightson noted that “Webster’s define philanthropy as goodwill to fellowmen, especially in an active effort to promote human welfare.”
As an example of the work that ARC does for our community, Wrightson introduced Jamie Davis, the daughter of Gary Davis, who nominated ARC for this year’s award because of the opportunities that have been made available to Jamie as a result of her training at ARC.
“Jamie is autistic, and is 27-years old,” explained Wrightson. “To her ARC is her job. Six years ago when she started with ARC, we were told that they would first get to know Jamie and based on what they thought she would accomplish, and what was available … they would get her involved. Well, they kept their promise…
They got her a job. She works at the Best Western Hotel in Westminster and she is doing quite well. However, she still thinks that the Ravens are just big men who stay at her hotel once a year…”
The Carroll County Times’ Newspapers in Education (NIE) program was this year’s business award winner. A special fund of the Community Foundation, NIE “supports literacy by offering free newspapers and curriculum guides to all Carroll County schools…” said Wrightson.
“Newspapers and study guides are used to help teach students… throughout Carroll County … During the 2009-2010 school year, NIE provided 622,990 newspapers to students. The program is funded by local businesses,” Wrightson further explained.
The last of the five awards was given to Bob and Ruth Bare of Hampstead for the family philanthropist of the year. Edith Winters, along with a number of individuals and businesses in the community nominated the Bare family.
“Those who know Bob and Ruth know that they are very modest people. They have and continue to donate to many charities and do it anonymously,” said Wrightson. It was also noted that both Ruth and Bob Bare are 87-years-old, which prompted a wave of murmurs throughout the morning audience as the Bares displayed a great deal of youthful vigor as they walked to the front of the room.
“I hope I have that much energy at that age,” observed Sherri Hosfeld Joseph to no one in particular as the Bares approached the podium to receive their award.
