DAYHOFF: In Christmas past, county leaders and community celebrations made the news


Eagle Archive - DAYHOFF: In Christmas past, county leaders and community celebrations made the news, By Kevin Dayhoff shar.es/Xtm5U


"...Paradoxically, at a time when we look forward to spending more time with our families, friends and loved ones, the folks who provide so much to our quality of life are spending more time away from their families than at any other time of the year.

To make matters worse, recently the weather has been frightfully cold; making matters that more unbearable.

"Please keep folks such as firefighters, police officers, teachers and public works personnel in your hearts and your prayers as you enjoy the holiday season."

[...]

It was 40 years ago that one local community leader got his start, and made the news. The now-defunct newspaper, the Community Reporter, carried an article Dec. 11, 1970, noting that "Richard N. Dixon, 32 years of age and the first black to assume a post on the Carroll County School Board, was sworn into office last week."

Frederick County Commissioners define their priorities by Meg Tully @ The Frederick News-Post


Frederick County Commissioners define their priorities

December 11, 2010








by Meg Tully @ The Frederick News-Post  
http://www.wtop.com/?nid=25&sid=2197048


The new Frederick County Commissioners identified their top priorities this week, including reducing the county's unemployment rate and creating a consistent land-use process for businesses.


Commissioners met with division directors during a two-day retreat at Pinecliff Park to identify goals and craft a strategic plan for their four-year terms.


The five-member board is led by Commissioners President Blaine Young. All are Republicans. Four out of the five ran together as a slate.


They worked with the county's top leaders to ensure there was buy-in and consensus on the ideas, Young said.


Priorities will include job growth, predictability for business, public safety, traffic, agricultural preservation/land use, and privatization and sharing of government services.


The only priority commissioners added to the group-generated list was to look into more privatization and sharing services among government agencies.


After developing their priorities, they broke into groups to discuss specific goals.
Some ideas included supporting ....  http://www.wtop.com/?nid=25&sid=2197048

Westminster home on Cranberry Road damaged by fire

Westminster home on Cranberry Road damaged by fire

By Kevin Dayhoff

It took over 40 firefighters from Carroll and Adams County to control a house fire on North Cranberry Road in Westminster Monday afternoon.

The fire was quickly brought under control before it caused extensive damage to a very old brick farmhouse as firefighters had to contend with freezing temperatures and wind.

The first alarm rang-out at approximately 2:21 p.m. as central alarm dispatched units for a working house fire, according to Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 1 public information officer Robin Stansbury and fire department chief Jim Bangerd.

Upon arrival, firefighters found heavy smoke and fire in the rear of the residence and requested a “working fire dispatch” for additional fire suppression units to arrive.  Additional fire suppression units from Westminster, Reese, Pleasant Valley, Manchester, Hampstead, and Littlestown, Pa., quickly responded. 

The fire declared under control at 2:43 p.m.  Firefighters and equipment remained on the scene for another hour for clean-up and to assist the Maryland fire marshal’s investigation.

One of the two occupants of the residence was home at the time of the fire, according to Stansbury.  The Red Cross was called to provide assistance to the occupants of the home.

The fire remains under investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshall’s office.

For more information please see a report on the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 1 website – here: http://www.westminstervfd.org/ or Carroll County Times article by Ryan Marshall here: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/article_aab0d6a6-07fc-11e0-a6dd-001cc4c002e0.html and here: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/article_5729d066-0741-11e0-96a1-001cc4c03286.html
