Cardin visit to New Windsor campus recalls history, mission

Cardin visit to New Windsor campus recalls history, mission

EAGLE ARCHIVE

By Kevin Dayhoff

U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D) was in Carroll County on Sept. 8 to visit the Interchurch Medical Assistance world health's headquarters on the historic former college campus of what we now know as the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor.
Cardin's visit draws our attention to two local institutions -- both with international stature and extraordinary ecumenical background.
On Sept. 6, 1944, the former Blue Ridge College property in New Windsor was purchased for $31,300 for use as a world relief center.
According to its website, "What began ... in 1960 as Interchurch Medical Assistance has not simply survived. ... Instead, it has become a thriving, vital, significant contributor to the health of millions."
IMA works in Haiti, the Congo, Tanzania, Sudan, India, Togo and many other nations. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, IMA will host an event for partners and supporters Oct. 6...

U.S. Senator Cardin greets Brethren Service Center volunteer Becky Motley during the senator's visit to the New Windsor center Sept. 8. Motley was packing quilts for shipment to overseas clinics and joked that she planned to put Cardin to work. The senator took part in a luncheon and accepted thanks from the center for his support in helping to locate three staff members of the center's Interchurch Medical Assistance service who were stranded in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, after the January 2010 earthquake.

A-Maizing Quest in Westminster

A-Maizing Quest in Westminster

Get lost this fall at the 2010 Carroll County Agriculture Center corn maze.

http://www.explorecarroll.com/community/4772/a-maizing-quest-westminster/
By Kevin E. Dayhoff
Posted 9/25/10

(Enlarge) The Parikh family of Finksburg - Jay, 7, Zill, 12, and Falguni and Ketan Parikh - explore the corn maze at the Carroll County Agriculture Center in Westminster Sept. 18. The maze, which is more than 2 miles long, is open Friday and Saturday, 5-9 p.m., and Sunday, 2-6 p.m. Flashlights are provided at dusk, and there will be a "haunted maze" Oct. 29 and 30. The theme of the maze is a celebration of Carroll County's agricultural heritage and the maze is in the shape of a cornucopia. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for ages 3-12. Group prices and times are available. For details, call 410 848-6704, or go to www.ccag.biz.
It's a official: The crop circles found outside of Westminster are the work of Carroll County Ag Center volunteers -- and not the work of space aliens.

Now open and continuing through the end of October, the Ag Center is featuring more than 2 miles of trails creatively carved out of acres of seven-foot tall corn just outside of Westminster.







It has been six years since a maze was artfully carved into the crop fields at the Ag Center.  In 2004, over 3,300 folks visited...

Frederick city police are shaking their heads this morning after residents woke up to discover 31 vehicles with their tires slashed.
Adding an element of mystery to the crime is that nearly all of the vehicles targeted by the somnolent slasher were either white of a very "light" color, according to a report issued by the Frederick Police Department early Sunday.
All the incidents...  http://investigativevoice.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6169:31-white-or-light-colored-vehicles-in-frederick-have-tires-slashed&catid=25:the-project&Itemid=44

Thousands of folks greeted the beginning of Westminster Fallfest Thursday eveni








Thousands of folks greeted the beginning of Westminster Fallfest Thursday evening

9/24/2010

By Kevin Dayhoff and Katie V. Jones

Thousands of folks greeted the beginning of Westminster Fallfest Thursday evening.  Parade watchers thronged Main Street and Longwell Avenue to watch over 60 entries march, sing, dance, and blow the horn to mark the beginning of Westminster’s annual citywide fall festival.

After the parade, folks took advantage of the unseasonably warm temperatures to pack the Westminster playground for food, rides, and activities such as making scarecrows.

Later in the evening Jennifer Mellor, Fallfest chairperson, announced the winner of three prizes awarded to entries in the parade.

The Carroll Gymnastics took first prize.  Second and third prize went to two separate Girl Scout entries.  Carroll Gymnastics is going to donate their $250.00 prize money to breast cancer research, said Mellor.

“It was a fantastic event,” beamed Mellor late in the evening.  Community spirit was everywhere.”

Westminster Fallfest is scheduled to continue through Sunday, Sept. 26, in and around Westminster City Park.

Midnight Madness will take place tonight, 6 p.m. to midnight, when parts of Main Street will be closed for pedestrian traffic for an evening of shopping, dining, and street entertainment.  Many Main Street merchants will feature special events and sales.
