20080402 Patuxent Publishing Company president Jim Quimby departing

Patuxent Publishing Company president Jim Quimby departing

Quimby led company's expansion into Carroll County

04/02/08 By Jennifer Broadwater

The president of Patuxent Publishing Co., which publishes the Eldersburg Eagle, will leave the company in early May.

Jim Quimby, who has served as president of Patuxent since 2000, will depart May 2 as part of a reorganization of the company, he said March 25.

Patuxent is operated by The Baltimore Sun Co., which, along with Patuxent, is owned by Tribune Co., a Chicago-based company owned by Sam Zell.

(Disclosure: I write for the Westminster Eagle and the Eldersburg Eagle, also owned by “Tribune”. Tribune also owns the Baltimore Sun – and as a matter of fact, I also write for the Sunday Carroll Eagle which is distributed in the Sunday edition of the Baltimore Sun – see: 20071021 Baltimore Sun: “To our readers”)

Sun publisher and CEO Timothy Ryan announced Quimby's departure in a statement. Ryan did not return telephone calls seeking comment on Quimby's departure.

Beginning April 9, Trish Carroll will take over as senior vice president of the Baltimore Sun Media Group's "targeted print" publications, which include those produced by Patuxent and its sister company, Homestead Publishing, in Harford County, and b, a free daily tabloid The Sun intends to launch in mid-April.

Headquartered in Columbia, Patuxent publishes 18 newspapers in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., metro areas, and several magazines and local telephone directories. Its 275 employees work in offices in Westminster, Columbia, Ellicott City, Laurel and Towson.

Carroll worked for The Sun for 16 years, in a variety of roles before taking a job directing operations and technology at The Olympian, a McClatchy Co.-owned newspaper in the state of Washington.

'A true professional'

Quimby will leave the company after 37 years in the publishing business, including nearly eight years at the helm of Patuxent.

Quimby, 55, of Harford County, described his tenure at Patuxent as a "phenomenal" experience. He said he is unsure of his next step.

"My first words to her were, 'Congratulations, you just got the best job in the whole world,' " Quimby said he told Carroll. "It's a phenomenal opportunity to work at a place like the community newspapers."

His career began in 1970, when he landed a job selling advertising for Harford County-based Susquehanna Publishing, which was purchased by The Baltimore Sun Co. in 1989.

He later worked in operations, press and packaging, circulation and distribution. He helped merge two competing newspapers in Harford County to form Homestead Publishing Co., for which he served as general manager.

In September 2000, he was named president of the Baltimore Sun Community Newspaper Group, which includes Homestead and Patuxent.

During his tenure as president, the company expanded into Carroll County with its purchase of The Eldersburg Eagle from founder David Greenwalt and the creation of The Westminster Eagle. It launched The Sunday Carroll Eagle in 2007.

Patuxent purchased Chesapeake Home magazine in 2005 and the Ellicott City-based The View newspapers in 2007.

This week, Oct. 7-13, is Fire Prevention Week.

That's serious business. Don't kid yourself that it can't happen to you. The basics of fire safety are something that every family needs to practice every day.

Recently in Carroll County there have been a number of fires that garnered public attention. Fortunately, most of the incidents of late have not involved serious injury or death, but the resulting property damage still takes a toll on a community.

One thing you can do right away is put fresh batteries in your smoke alarm(s) and make sure these basic safety devices are working properly.

The next thing you can do is talk with your family about a fire escape plan. In fact, "Practice Your Escape Plan" is this year's National Fire Protection Association theme for Fire Prevention Week 2007. For more information and a worksheet for developing a home fire escape plan, visit firepreventionweek.org.

You can also take the opportunity to learn more about fire protection services in Carroll County.

There's a rich history and tradition of citizens volunteering their time and talent to the 14 fire companies in Carroll.

In the Sykesville-Eldersburg area, there are several references to a "Sykesville Fire Company" in various old newspaper articles after Sykesville incorporated in 1904, but it appears it wasn't until summer 1933 that the predecessor to what we now know as the Sykesville-Freedom District Fire Department was formerly organized.

The Dec. 10, 1920 edition of the Union Bridge Pilot has an article in it about the "large flour mill of the Maryland Milling and Supply Company, at Sykesville É was totally destroyed by fire Wednesday night É causing a loss of about $20,000 É

"A chemical engine, the only fire apparatus in the town, could render but little service, and the flames gained headway with alarming rapidity. A large crowd assembled, but could do nothing more than to stand and look on."

The April 13, 1923, edition of the long-defunct Democratic Advocate carried a headline: "Mr. and Mrs. John Harris, With Baby Ill From Pneumonia, Flee In Night-Clothes."

The article declares that a fire was "believed to have been caused by a defective flue in the home of John Harris, threatened to destroy the town of Sykesville, Monday morning about 3:30 o'clock. É At one time the Harris house, the town hall, the jail and the 'old volunteer house,' occupied by the fire company, were in flames É"

"Hardly more than a bucket brigade the Sykesville Volunteer Fire Company is said to have done excellent work in fighting the flames until the arrival of the Westminster company."

According to a history posted on the Sykesville-Freedom District Fire Department's Web site, on September 18, 1933, the first members of the Sykesville Fire Department were elected. They included: J. Marion Harris, President; H. Lester Phelps, Vice President; Celius L. Brown, Secretary; J. Nevin Ports, Treasurer and Leo F. Chrobot, Chief.

On Dec. 14, 1933, the department purchased the "old store on lower S. Main Street and a 1933 American LaFrance fire engine was purchased to serve the community," according to the department Web site.

"In 1939, plans were made to acquire new apparatus. The current fire station was too small so the station moved to across the street to the 'old stone store.' This building was used until 1949 when it was sold to St. Barnabas Church."

During the dedication ceremony for the new Main Street station on May 14, 1949, the fire alarm rang, and as the Eldersburg-Sykesville area has grown, the increasing number of calls has continued.

In 1972, a second station was built on Sykesville Road, and the company operated two station houses until November 1981.

It was also in 1972 that Libby Luebberman became the first female to qualify to ride the emergency apparatus in Sykesville. She was one of the first in the county and one of the first in the state.

Carroll County volunteer firefighters are among our greatest heroes.

They take time away from their families and risk their lives daily to protect us and our homes.

We can help thank them by working to prevent disasters ... and by being prepared.
