Carroll says it will be Y2K-ready

Contingency plans protect Maryland jurisdictions from lawsuits

By BORIS HARTL Times Staff Writer

Officials from Carroll County's eight municipalities and the county government said they don't expect the Year 2000 bug to be a problem, provided local power companies can supply them with electricity on Jan. 1, 2000.

Baltimore Gas and Electric says not to worry. Robert Cornelius, BGE's Year 2000 program manager, said the company has been Y2K-compliant since June 30. A spokesman for Allegheny Power, which supplies power to the western half of Carroll County, said his company is immune to the so-called ``millennium bug.''

Carroll's eight incorporated areas - Hampstead, Manchester, Mount Airy, New Windsor, Sykesville, Taneytown, Union Bridge, and Westminster - have either adopted Y2K-compliance plans or are close to doing so.

The county commissioners approved a county government year 2000 compliance plan Wednesday.

``We're in good shape,'' said Union Bridge Mayor Perry L. Jones Jr. ``We’re not as large as the other municipalities so there wasn't as much work to do.''

The General Assembly passed a law last year that protects local governments, under certain circumstances, from lawsuits and liability for damages arising from year 2000 problems, as long as those municipalities adopt a Y2K-compliance plan by Oct. 1. The plan must outline what those municipalities have done to identify and remedy potential Year 2000 computer problems.

Mount Airy Mayor Gerald R. Johnson estimates that by the end of the year, the town will have spent about $10,000 on Year 2000 preparations. The money was partially spent buying new computers, software, and some backup power generators for the sewer systems.

The Union Bridge Town Council could adopt its Y2K-compliance plan at its Monday night meeting, Jones said. The town has upgraded its computer systems and has installed backup generators for its water and sewer systems.

The New Windsor Town Council passed its Y2K-compliance Plan Sept. 1. The Manchester Town Council adopted its Y2K-compliance Plan at its Sept. 14 meeting. The town is in the middle of installing generators at two well sites.

As part of the town's emergency preparedness plan, Sykesville officials have created a Y2K contingency task force. The will purchase a police generator for the police department.

Sykesville's Town Council is scheduled to review its Y2K contingency plan at its next meeting, which is set for 7 p.m. today.

Taneytown received a $10,000 grant from the state to help the city upgrade its accounting and computer software and make it Y2K-compliant. That was taken care of a month ago, said City Manager Chip Boyles.

City officials are in the process of buying a generator to run a couple of different water wells should the electricity go out Jan. 1, Boyles said.

Generators are also on stand-by at the sewer treatment plant, he said.

Extra policemen and utility workers will be on hand New Year's Eve in the case the power does go out or other problems arise, he said.

Boyles said that if for some reason they do lose power, water and sewer services will still be provided.

But, Boyles said, he's confident Taneytown's electricity source, Allegheny Power, is Y2K-compliant and won't have any problems.

Hampstead officials could not be reached for this report.

The Westminster City Council could approve its Y2K plan at its meeting tonight. Copies of the plan are available at City Hall, located at the 1800 block of Emerald Hill Lane.

Allen Staggers, an Allegheny Power spokesman, said the power company will staff extra employees to handle complaints and questions during the holiday season. BGE will do the same.

``We don't anticipate any Y2K problems; we are more concerned about the typical outages during the day,'' Staggers said. ``Anyone at anytime could be out of power. We'll make the extra effort and respond to all the typical outages. We don't want people to [mistakenly] think it's Y2K when it's not. That's our biggest fear.''

January 1991 Report of the Governor’s Commission on Growth in the Chesapeake Bay Region

January 1991 Report of the Governor’s Commission on Growth in the Chesapeake Bay Region

Protecting the Future

A Vision for Maryland

Report of the Governor’s Commission on Growth in the Chesapeake Bay Region

January 1991

SUMMARY OF THE COMMISSION'S PROPOSAL

Since October 1989, the Governor's Commission on Growth in the Chesapeake Bay Region has worked to develop a vision for Maryland's growth over the next 30 years. Answering a charge from Governor William Donald Schaefer, the Commission has made recommendations for reconciling rapid economic growth and development with the conservation of Maryland's natural resources and the preservation of the State's unique quality of life.
The Commission recognized an opportunity to change the way land-use has been managed in the past, and crafted recommendations which carefully consider the challenge of the Visions prepared by the 2020 Panel of Experts.2 Each Vision was considered, and the responses blended into five basic recommendations that are the subject of this report.

1. Designate suitable areas for growth. Sprawl development devours land, harms the environment and the Chesapeake Bay, and uses infrastructure inefficiently. The Commission's proposal would have local governments direct new development to areas they believe can most efficiently accommodate it.

2. Protect sensitive areas. From a list of more than 40 environmentally-sensitive areas, such as den or breeding sites and large contiguous tracts of forest, the Commission focused on four as being most critical to protect from the impact of individual development projects. On steep slopes and in stream buffers, in habitats for endangered species and 100-year floodplains, virtually no development should be permitted.

3. Conserve natural resources. Sprawl development encourages inefficient use of resources. Natural resources such as farmland and forests, once developed, are difficult to restore. Under the Commission's proposal, development will be directed away from farms and forests.

4. Make stewardship of the environment a universal ethic. Mary landers must understand that each individual's actions have a direct effect on the Bay and the environment. The Commission has asked that a statewide Stewardship Council be charged with coordinating existing educational programs and increasing opportunities for individuals to protect the environment.

5. Provide funds to achieve the recommendations. Concentrating development depends on the ability of local governments to fund the planning and infrastructure.  Although local

The 2020 Panel of Experts was convened at the request of the signatories of the 1987 Chesapeake Bay Agreement to study the consequences of population growth and development for the Chesapeake Bay watershed to the year 2020.  Their report described six detailed "visions" and "actions."

[…]

From far western Garrett County to the Eastern Shore, the importance of the Bay to Maryland is virtually inestimable. Each year it gives us millions of dollars of seafood, billions of dollars of commerce flow through its major ports, and it is a recreation center for the East Coast. In 1989, the Maryland Department of Economic and Employment Development estimated the economic value of the Bay to Maryland and Virginia to be $678 billion.

Saving the Chesapeake Bay MUST be an overriding priority for all Marylanders and their governments.  Economic Importance of the Chesapeake Bay. 1989.

May 22, 1991 Baltimore Sun: Pleasant Valley St. Matthew's Members Join Together On Pentecost

May 22, 1991 Baltimore Sun: Pleasant Valley St. Matthew's Members Join Together On Pentecost


Union Church Congregations Make It Official With Merger

St. Matthew's Members Join Together On Pentecost

May 22, 1991|By Amy L. Miller | Amy L. Miller, Staff writer

PLEASANT VALLEY — Two congregations sharing one building celebrated the birthday of the Christian church by merging to create one unified church.

Members of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church transferred their names to the rolls of St. Matthew's United Church of Christ during a unification service on Sunday.

"Sunday the 19th was chosen because it's Pentecost Sunday, the birthday of the church," said the Rev. Charles Stanfield, pastor of St. Matthew's.

The two denominations of St. Matthew's had been a union church -- or congregations sharing the same building -- for more than 100 years, he said.

Although preparations for the formal merger began in January, members of both congregations had been considering the move for some years, said member Donna Geiman.

"The first time it shows up in the church notes is about 12 or 15 years ago, but the time wasn't right," she said. "Things have to come at the right time."

However, the idea came up for serious consideration when St. Matthew's Lutheran's minister -- the Rev. Paul A. Haack -- left the church to pastor the First Evangelical Lutheran Church in New Oxford, Pa.


The Rev. Adam Fisher pastored St. Matthew's Lutheran until the end of December. Read more: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1991-05-22/news/9113005480_1_matthew-lutheran-union-church-matthew-united-church

February 13, 1991 Baltimore Sun: County's Seven Black Churches Small in Size, Large In Dedication

February 13, 1991 Baltimore Sun: County's Seven Black Churches Small in Size, Large In Dedication

County's Seven Black Churches Small in Size, Large In Dedication

Black History Month February 1991 -- A Look at Carroll's Black Community

February 13, 1991|By Jane Lippy | Jane Lippy, Contributing writer


With 440 members led by four pastors, Carroll's seven black churches don't necessarily constitute a spiritual army.

But the congregations have been working to face the challenge of accomplishing as much as they can with the people power they have.
And the churches have their share of energetic members.

The Rev. Joan Carter serves as a suitable example of how the churches must get the most out of their resources.

The 32-year-old Carter is pastor of three churches: Union Street United Methodist Church in Westminster, Strawbridge United Methodist on Route 31 near New Windsor and Fairview United Methodist on Liberty Road in New Windsor.

Carter's busy Sundays begin at 9 a.m., when she meets Fairview's 30-member congregation before preaching. At 10:15, lay ministers start the service at Strawbridge, while Carter arrives 30 minutes later and addresses the 75 members until about 11:30.


Then, it's on to the 75-member congregation at Union Street. Members begin the service and Carter greets them at the conclusion of her message. Read more; http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1991-02-13/news/9113001502_1_two-churches-carter-black-churches

September 27, 1993 Baltimore Sun: Lineboro Lazarus Church marks 140 years of unity

Church marks 140 years of unity Lineboro congregations share memories

September 27, 1993|By Katherine Richards | Katherine Richards, Staff Writer



One hundred and forty years of working together through good times and bad were celebrated yesterday at the Lazarus Church in Lineboro.

The church is a "Union Church," home to both the Lazarus United Church of Christ and the Lazarus Evangelical Lutheran Church.

The two congregations have shared the building, Sunday school, choirs and 140 years of memories.

Ten former pastors of both congregations participated in the celebration, which was led by the Rev. Verna L. Call, pastor of the United Church of Christ congregation, and the Rev. Philip G. Emanuel, the Lutheran pastor.

Mr. Emanuel said yesterday's celebration was "a very affirming thing" for members of the dwindling Lutheran congregation, and demonstrated to them that "whatever comes about in the future, God will be with them."

The Lazarus Evangelical Lutheran Church has about 50 members. The Lazarus United Church of Christ congregation has about 220 members.

Wanda Waugh, chairwoman of the anniversary celebration committee, gathered an exhibit of photos and documents tracing the church's past.

The Lazarus church was founded in 1853 by members of Zion's Church in Manchester.

Bad roads had made the five-mile route from Lineboro to Manchester impassable for several months each year.

The congregation collected $2,171.49 3/4 to build a sanctuary, in donations as small as 12 1/2 cents.

A new building went up in 1908.


The church still displays two original altar Bibles dating to 1854, one in English, one in German. Read more: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1993-09-27/news/1993270109_1_congregations-lazarus-church-evangelical-lutheran-church
