Marine, local business owner Charles Zincon, 93, of Westminster

Marine, local business owner Charles Zincon, 93, of Westminster

Charles Zincon, a quiet community leader who owned Modern Ideal Laundry and Dry Cleaners for 40-years, passed away on January 12, 2019

By Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 Chaplain Kevin Dayhoff

February 7, 2019

About a month ago, a fellow Marine, Charles Zincon, a quiet community leader, who worked hard and tirelessly and helped make Westminster what it is today – passed away on January 12, 2019 at the age of 93. He was born in Tannery on September 22, 1925.

He attended Westminster High School before he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He served in the Pacific Theater throughout World War II. After returning home, he and his late wife owned Modern Ideal Laundry and Dry Cleaners on East Green Street in Westminster, for over 40-years.

Mr. Zincon was awesome people. A little known fact – he was the bartender at my wedding reception.

He was not a sports star or a Hollywood actor. However, he was a big deal. He a local community business owner, who got up every day and worked about a 12-hour day, contributed to his community, his local church and local civic organizations.

He did not make a fuss. He was not one to boast or draw attention to himself. He died with little notice from the community. Many folks these days are not aware of his quiet contributions to our community.

His death was not the topic of headlines in the newspaper, or a segment on the local television news. There was little mention of his passing on social media.

Athletes and movie stars have never been my heroes. I always felt that such hero worship was misplaced, displaced, and inappropriate.

I always felt such Hollywood and sports hero worship sent the wrong message to our children and demonstrated a wrong set of values for our community. My heroes have always been local business owners, teachers, soldiers, police officers, fire fighters, and public servants.

As a native of Westminster and an avid amateur historian, I realized as a child that one could not study the history of accomplishment for a city such as Westminster without first understanding the history of leadership that this community has been provided by local business owners, teachers, soldiers, police officers, fire fighters, and public servants.

We all belong to God and to Him we shall return.

Rest in peace brother, your watch is over we will take it from here, you duty is done here, God has your place in heaven. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13

Community leader, past Carroll County Chamber president, Richard Haddad, 77, of Westminster

By Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 Chaplain Kevin Dayhoff

Westminster Md. 6Feb2019 - It is with deep sadness that the brothers and sisters of the Westminster Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 announces the passing of Rich Haddad, the father of member Jon Haddad. https://patch.com/maryland/westminster/past-carroll-co-chamber-president-richard-haddad-westminster

Prayers for the Haddad family as family, friends, and loved ones who wish to express their condolences and pay their respects at Pritts Funeral Home as a result of the loss of Rich Haddad, a community and amazing role model who passed on Thursday, January 31, 2019

Thank you for your service. Rest in peace, Sir. We will take the watch from here.

God be merciful to his good soul. We take this opportunity to thank Mr. Haddad for his great service and dedication to our community, state, and country.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Haddad family at this very difficult time.

Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.

May memories of happy times sustain us, the support of family and friends comfort us, and may God's love embrace you and your family and bring you peace.

Praying for you and your family. So sorry for loss. You and the family are in our prayers. We are all singing,

"The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all." Semper Fi

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

Richard Haddad, 77, of Gettysburg, PA, died Thursday, January 31, 2019 at home. Born October 27, 1941 in Brooklyn, NY, he was the son of the late John and Grace Haddad.

He was the husband of Valorie Townsend Haddad, his wife of 35 years. Rich was a loving husband, a proud dad and a very proud grandpa. He was a good man, an honest man, a hard worker and a man you could rely on.

In addition to his wife Valorie, Richard is survived by his children:

Steven Haddad and his wife Tiffany, of Basalt, CO,
Jason Haddad and his wife Hilary of Atlanta, GA,
Erin Haddad of Westminster, MD,
Ashleigh Haddad and her husband Nick Morrison of Baltimore,
Jonathan Haddad and his wife Mary of Westminster;

And his four grandchildren Sebastian and Luca Del Cid, and Alex and Jake Haddad; and two brothers Ronald Haddad of Tarpon Springs, FL and Robert Haddad of Chapel Hill, NC; five nieces and nephews; and his first wife Janet Haddad of Columbia, MD.

Over the span of his 48 year career, Richard managed support services functions such as human resources and information systems for organizations in industries including banking, utilities, and healthcare.

For several years, he also provided services in organizational development and strategic planning as an independent consultant, and for five years was the President of the Carroll County (MD) Chamber of Commerce.

He was heavily involved in civic and community activities, serving on the Howard County (MD) Human Rights Commission, and on the board of directors or advisory council of fourteen other organizations including the Carroll County (MD) Public Schools Business Roundtable and the Rotary Club of Bonds Meadow.

He was a co-founder and for several years the Executive Director of Free Men, a national non-profit educational organization dedicated to raising awareness of the ways in which traditional gender roles limit men as well as women.

He also advocated in a number of capacities for individuals with developmental disabilities, at one point serving as Maryland State Coordinator for the national organization, Voice of the Retarded (VOR).

Richard wrote extensively; essays and opinion articles on social issues as well as book reviews, fiction, satire and poetry. His work was published in newspapers including the Baltimore Sun and the Washington Times; in periodicals including the Baltimore Business Journal, on websites including American Thinker and in anthologies.

For several years he also edited and published American Man, a periodical devoted to a serious exploration of the male gender role and the male experience.

In reflecting on his career, his writing, his involvement in men’s issues and in community activities, Richard would frequently remark that the greatest accomplishment was raising his five children to be the good people they became.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, February,6, 2019 from 2-4 & 6-8 pm at Pritts Funeral Home & Chapel, 412 Washington Road, Westminster, MD.

Funeral Services will be held on Thursday, February 7, 2019 at 11 am at the funeral home.

Mrs. Nancy Lee Anania December 21, 1933 - May 19, 2018

Obituary for Mrs. Nancy Lee Anania December 21, 1933 - May 19, 2018

Nancy Lee Anania, age 84, died on May 19, 2018 at her home in Ellicott City, MD. She was the daughter of the late Lawrence Eugene Mulcahy and Eva May Leister Mulcahy. Nancy was the wife of the late Peter V. Anania, Sr., her husband of 63 years. 

Nancy was a loving mother who raised four sons. A gifted artist, she took joy in painting, crafts such as making dollhouses, wreaths, and holiday decorations, sewing as well as designing landscapes and interiors. She enjoyed listening to all kinds of music, from opera to rock. She had a beautiful voice and got a kick out of singing with her sons in their garage band. Her favorite artist was opera singer Luciano Pavarotti.

Nancy was a lover of life and learning, and an avid history buff. She enjoyed colonial Jamestown in particular. She was fond of art museums and seeing her old neighborhood in Hamden where she grew up. 

Nancy’s biggest passion was her family. She was a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Anyone who walked through her door would be welcome and would never leave hungry. Her kitchen stayed open 24 hours, her holiday celebrations were legendary, and she went out of her way to make every gathering unforgettable. 

Nancy is survived by her sons, Peter V. Anania, Jr., David S. Anania, and his wife Barbara Anania, Andrew J. Anania, grandchildren Elizabeth Anania, Ashen Anania, Robin Harlan, and Tara Anania, and great grandchildren Dayja, Lily, Ella, Chloe, and Destiny. She was predeceased by her husband Peter V. Anania, Sr. and her son, Thomas S. Anania.

Bowman family awarded annual Ag Center Pioneer Award

A year ago, I wrote - Time Flies “Bowman family awarded annual Ag Center Pioneer Award” by Kevin Dayhoff February 24, 2017

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/ph-cc-dayhoff-022617-20170223-column.html

Romantic that I am, I took my wife out on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, to the annual Carroll County Agriculture Center dinner. Since 1993, the annual dinner has been used as an opportunity to honor individuals and businesses with the "Pioneer Award," in recognition for longstanding service to the Carroll County agriculture community and the Agriculture Center,

This year's award went to the R.D. Bowman family, which has been a cornerstone of the agricultural community through the family businesses that date back to 1928. Dirk Bowman and his wife Julie attended the dinner to receive the award on behalf of the family.

Dirk, his brother Dale, and his sister Dawn DeVivo are the third-generation owners of the Westminster feed sales business, R.D. Bowman & Sons Inc., and the Home & Garden Center, which opened in 1981.

According to a March 24, 1993 article in The Baltimore Sun by writers Ellie Baublitz and Tom Keyser, "In 1928, Ralph Dutterer Bowman bought a little country grocery store in Union Mills on a dirt road that is now Route 97, or Littlestown Pike. He operated the store for more than 30 years, during which time the big event was the Friday night banana auction.

Feb. 9, 2018 7 p.m.: FSK to Celebrate Naming of Louis V. Beard Memorial Gymnasium

Feb. 9, 2018 7 p.m.: FSK to Celebrate Naming of Louis V. Beard Memorial Gymnasium

Just released Jan. 11, 2018 Carroll County Public Schools
125 North Court Street
Westminster, Maryland 21157

For Immediate Release

Stephen H. Guthrie, Superintendent

FSK to Celebrate Naming of Louis V. Beard Memorial Gymnasium

Francis Scott Key High School will hold a ceremony to celebrate the naming of its gymnasium as the Louis V. Beard Memorial Gymnasium on Friday, February 9, 2018. The ceremony will take place at halftime during the girls varsity basketball game, which will begin at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Beard served FSK as an administrator for over 20 years.

Mr. Beard began his professional career as a teacher at the Robert Moton School in Westminster in 1955. Soon after beginning his teaching career, he was drafted into the U.S. Army where he served from 1955-1957.  He was honorably discharged and returned to teaching at Robert Moton School and was advanced to principal, where he served until 1965.

In 1965, Mr. Beard was assigned to Francis Scott Key High School where he served as assistant principal for one year until he advanced to principal in 1966.  With this appointment, he became the first African American to hold such a position in Carroll County.  He served as principal of Francis Scott Key for the next 20 years, influencing the lives of countless students and faculty in positive ways until his retirement in June 1986.

Terry Smack elected to the board of directors of Farmers and Merchants Bank

Terry Smack elected to the board of directors of Farmers and Merchants Bank

Huge congratulations to my friend Terry Smack for being elected to the board of directors of Farmers and Merchants Bank. She will do a great job. It is about time. 

 This speaks well of Farmers and Merchants Bank as it is about time, that boards of directors start looking like the local community by adding women, and men and woman of color. Just saying.

If you are not aware of the epic accomplishments of Ms. Smack; she is the owner of Terry's Tag and Title Service, a tag and title agent for the State of Maryland. 

And she understands that as a responsible business owner, she has a social contract with the community. 

She gives back to the community and in spite of her phenomenal success, she is still fun, friendly, approachable, and has never forgotten her roots. 

And the greater community has recognized her efforts by naming her, and her business, in the business category, as one of the Community Foundation of Carroll County's 11th annual Philanthropists of the Year in October 2016.

Join me in recognizing and congratulating bank director Terry Smack. June 29, 2017
