Westminster mayor Joe Dominick praises council candidates



Westminster mayor Joe Dominick praises council candidates

Awesome letter to the editor by Westminster Mayor Joe Dominick - Carroll County Times May 6, 2019 Letters: Westminster mayor praises council candidates https://www.carrollcountytimes.com/opinion/letters/cc-op-letters-050619-story.html

You’ve started seeing campaign signs, direct mail, and Facebook posts asking for your vote come Tuesday, May 14. An election for three seats on the City of Westminster’s Common Council is upon us.

Between elections, the residents in the City of Westminster rely on myself and the Council to make decisions on their behalf. It is a great responsibility that we are honored to have. Every two years the residents of the City have the great responsibility to vote for half of their representatives.

Jessica Laird works in business development at one of the largest institutions here in the city. She brings a new energy to the City and will be a strong supporter of public safety and Main Street initiatives.

Steven Colella also brings a new energy to the City. All of his professional experience has been in municipal government and economic development. Public safety and downtown initiatives would be his main focus.

Kevin Dayhoff is a former Mayor and Councilman. He is a very kind and caring man. I haven’t met anyone who loves the City of Westminster more than Mr. Dayhoff. If you ever want to hear a detailed history of the City, just ask him.

Councilman Gregory Pecoraro is currently a Councilman and is seeking re-election. He has served multiple terms and brings a lot of experience to the current elected body. Councilman Pecoraro is a good man. I’ve worked well with him on issues — when we agree and when we don’t.

I’ve known Kate Carter for a couple of years. She is a technology professional with a lot of good ideas. Between her professional experience and interest in downtown, Kate brings a lot to the table. Kate’s father was a business professor at Western Maryland/McDaniel College. He was the best teacher I’ve ever had.

Ann Thomas Gilbert has been one of the main people moving the Veteran’s Independence Project forward. She has devoted her professional life to social services. Running for Council is one more way she wants to help her community.

Disagreement is good in government, but politics doesn’t have to be negative. These six individuals have decided to step up to help preserve what’s good in the City and move the rest forward.

I am confident that the City of Westminster will be in good hands come May 14. Please vote for those who you want in office.

Mayor Joe Dominick


Westminster

Be sure to let us know if you are coming to “Koffee with Kevin.”

Be sure to let us know if you are coming to “Koffee with Kevin.”

May 3, 2019 by Kevin Dayhoff, kevindayhoff@gmail.com

Sherri and I are trying to figure out how much food to order for “Koffee with Kevin” on Saturday evening at Birdie’s Café on May 4th, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. for light refreshments and conversation. Let us know if you are coming so that Sherri can make arrangements to have enough food available. We are looking forward to see you. For more information please see: https://www.facebook.com/events/294279461495454/ and please sign-in, if you have not already done so. THX 

Keep in mind that there are no plans for a program, speeches or any mindless political drivel. Look upon it as an art opening without the artist talk.

Several of the other candidates have been invited. I like all of them – they are our community leaders. Everyone gets a participation trophy in this election. After the top three take their turn at the council table chances are the other three will continue to play a leadership role in the community. We hope.

Westminster has some tough challenges ahead and this is a good opportunity to get together and toss around a few ideas. There will be plenty of Birdie’s great coffee and light refreshments available. Many folks have asked for a get together to talk about the election. This is your chance.

It was suggested that we consult with our Ouija board about how many folks are coming. Earlier I had asked my Ouija board if Tupac is really dead or just ignoring my texts like usual? I mean, while he was alive, he created five studio albums – but he really did release five albums after he died in 1996.

However my board is still angry since I asked it, “Describe the history of the sociological, economic, psychological, and physiological progress of humankind in relationship to ethnomusicology and religious structure, from its origins to the present day; concentrating especially, but not exclusively, on its social, political, economic, religious, and philosophical impact on Europe, Asia, America, and Africa. Be brief, concise, and specific. It should rhyme, and be iambic pentameter. Do it in one paragraph; use semi-colons if needed.”

The planchette circled the board wildly and spelled-out "electric arc light." Well, according to multiple media accounts, in 1895, five-years after Charles Kennard, Helen Peters, “and several other investors started the Kennard Novelty Company to manufacture the [Ouija] board as a toy,” the big election issue was “electric lighting for the city,” according to historian Jay Graybeal.

Graybeal explained in research he documented in the late 1990s, “…through a vote of the citizenry, the use of street lighting by electric arc lamps was preferred. That is, the overwhelming majority of the 'Electric' ticket over the 'Gas' Ticket brought electric lights to our streets. To follow the press and certain actions on the part of our city fathers, it would indicate that Westminster took on new life immediately…”

So let’s celebrate the idea of Westminster taking on a new life after the election.

There is no charge for this event. For those who have asked – if you would like to make a contribution to help defray the costs of the event – speak with Sherri directly. I just want to concentrate on having a great event and I want to concentrate on the election campaign.

This is a strictly non-partisan event. Elections in the City of Westminster are non-partisan. More elections in Carroll County and Maryland ought to be non-partisan. I celebrate and maintain an open and affirming, inclusive platform that extends to Republicans, Democrats, Tories, Whigs, the LGBTQT community, folks from all faiths, folks who like cats, folks who like dogs, folks who like tea, folks who like coffee – it is all the same to me. Glad we got all that cleared-up.
My support of folks different than me is just simply called patriotism, common sense, and a reluctance to buy into hysteria and sensationalism. I am a Marine with issues – and I support human rights. Nothing complicated. Nothing to see here. Just move along.
If you have a different point of view, I am fine with that. I want everybody to be happy. I want you to be happy. As long as folks are nice to me – I love different points of view and again, as long as people are nice to me, I go out of my way to talk to folks who disagree with me. If you really do not like living here it makes me sad. I love Westminster. I suggest you move, so someone can take your place that wants to roll-up their sleeves and lend a hand. Westminster and Carroll County may be a great place to live – but we sure do have lots of work to do. And we need all hands on deck.
I offer experience, energy, accessibility, vision, fiscally prudent, and socially responsible leadership.
I have a thorough knowledge of the history and traditions of the city with a keen eye for some future changes.
It would be an honor to have the opportunity to take another turn as a Westminster elected official.

Kevin Dayhoff, Westminster Common Council Candidate 2019




Kevin E. Dayhoff Candidate for the Westminster Common Council – May 14th,
2019


Community Media Center Candidate Profile - 12:30 pm Saturday, April 27,
2019 at the Community Media Center located at 1301 Washington Road, Westminster
MD.

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

Hi, I am Kevin Dayhoff and I am running for one of the three open Westminster city council seats available in the upcoming May 14th city election. 

I previously served as the Westminster mayor from 2001-2005. And a council member from 1999-2001. Folks tell me that I did a good job. 

I am a retired farmer, business owner, historian, fire and police chaplain, artist, and writer. I would like to roll up my sleeves, work hard, and put all those experiences to work and do it again.

I would like to take another turn working for the community in City Hall. I know the community, its citizens, its history, and traditions – and have a keen eye for some future changes. I offer experience, energy, accessibility, vision, a fresh perspective, new ideas, and fiscally prudent and socially responsible leadership.

I am convinced I can make a contribution and make a difference. 

The opportunity to serve as an elected or appointed official in a community like Westminster is a special privilege and responsibility. There are many ways that a person can serve our community. You can volunteer with service clubs, civic and non-profit organizations, recreational programs, or help out at your place of worship.

Historically, since the early days of our city, various folks in the community have taken turns on the city council. This has been the case ever since the days when folks served as a trustee for the Union Meeting House – the seat of government years before Westminster was incorporated in 1818. 

In the past 14-years since I left office in 2005, I have remained active and served the community in other ways – primarily with my job as a newspaper reporter writing history. I have also volunteered at my church, the NAACP, and the Westminster Fire Company. It was good to take a break and let other folks have a turn. 

Our current leadership has done a good job. I would like to build upon all their hard work and successes. However, at the same time, I'm concerned that in some ways, the city lost a little of its focus and needs to get back to basics. Especially when it comes to supporting public safety – the fire company, the police department, and public works. 

I look forward to supporting our historic downtown shopping and business district by working to continue to attract special events, businesses, shopping and local jobs.

I believe that we need to maintain a continued emphasis on municipal and business infrastructure improvements –such as developing more water resources and maintaining our roads, sidewalks, trails – and recreational opportunities. 

A number of folks in the community have approached me and asked if I would like to take another turn. After some thought and discussion with various friends who are city, county and state officials, I am convinced that by working together, we can move Westminster and Carroll County to another level – and take the community to that next step. 

I remain positive and optimistic that we can seize a number of opportunities that are available at this point in the city’s history, shake some things up, give it a fresh coat of paint, and makes some things happen.

Please consider voting for me on May 14th. I promise to work hard for you.
