George Vincent Martin, a Pearl Harbor Survivor, 95 of Westminster died on Tuesday, May 5, 2015

George Vincent Martin, a Pearl Harbor Survivor, 95 of Westminster died on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/05/george-vincent-martin-pearl-harbor.html

George Vincent Martin, a Pearl Harbor Survivor, 95 of Westminster died on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at the Dove House.  He was born on September 30, 1919 in Philadelphia, PA.  He raised his family on Long Island, New York.

After Pearl Harbor, George faithfully served this nation as a B-25 Pilot in China-Burma and India during WWII.  After the war, he extended his service in the Civil Air Patrol.  He then began a career selling aircraft parts.  George went on to benefit his community as a firefighter in the Wantagh Volunteer Fire Department on Long Island for more than 25 years.

George is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Shirley May Martin and their seven children; Gayle Mulvihill, Glenn Martin, Robert Martin, Richard Martin, Donna Martin, Suzanne Martin and Diane Kaufman; his sisters, Pricilla Hays and Winifred Fogerty; ten grandchildren, Dean Mulvihill, Regina Granados, Bryan Mulvihill, Julie Enderby, Glenn Martin, Jr., Meg Enderby, Alexandria Kaufman, Kaitlyn Martin, Michael Kaufman and Zane Martin.  Also survived by 5 great grandchildren.  George was predeceased by his sister Marjorie Koltun.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 from 2-4 and 6-8 pm at Fletcher Funeral & Cremation Services, P.A., 254 East Main Street.  Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, May 27 at 11:00 am at St. Benjamin’s (Kriders) Lutheran Church, 700 Kriders Cemetery Road, Westminster.  Interment will be at the church cemetery.

The Martin family wants to express heartfelt gratitude to Carroll County Hospice, especially The Dove House.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Carroll Hospice, 292 Stoner Avenue, Westminster, MD 21157.

Please hold George as close, as we do, in your heart and in your mind.

Carroll County Christian Men's Prayer Breakfast is set for October 3, 2015

Carroll County Christian Men's Prayer Breakfast is set for October 3, 2015

Save the date! Carroll County Christian Men's Prayer Breakfast is set for October 3, 2015

Check out this excellent keynote speaker: The Informant, Mark Whitacre http://www.markwhitacre.com/

From the Chairman’s statement in the April 2015 Carroll County Md Christian Men’s Prayer Breakfast newsletter:

“Calling all men, and young men! of Carroll County and surrounding areas!! We, the Christian Men’s Prayer Breakfast Steering Committee, are asking you to save the ‘Date’, Saturday, October 3, 2015.  We are working diligently on our 19th Annual Men’s Prayer Breakfast.  Because of increased attendance, we are holding the October 3rd breakfast at the Pleasant Valley Fire Hall, which can accommodate 500 for breakfast.  They are noted for large gatherings, wonderful food, and fast service.

“Our goal this year is to reach even more men to come for breakfast and to pray together.  We want men in Carroll County to make a difference in their lives for their families, in their workplaces, in their churches, and in their communities.  Men who attend the breakfast will enjoy a good meal, an inspirational speaker, uplifting music and prayer with other men like you.  Many attendees enjoy the breakfast because it only takes up two hours of that day. Men, will you answer the call?”

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

Faith, Hope, Redemption & Second Chances

Our speaker for the October 3rd Breakfast is Mark Whitacre who worked undercover with the FBI for three years.  He wore a wire every day in one of the largest white-collar crime cases in U.S. history.  After his undercover tenure was completed, Mark went to federal prison for 8 ½ years for a crime that occurred during his undercover tenure.

Today, the four FBI agents involved with Whitacre’s case tout him publicly as a “national hero’ for his substantial assistance with this case.  Douglas Burris, chief of U.S. Federal Probation in the Eastern district of Missouri, has stated publicly, “The story about Mark Whitacre’s redemption and second chance is one of the most inspirational stories of our time.”  His story is a wonderful example of a family overcoming extreme adversity, against all odds, because of their faith in Jesus Christ.

Mark’s undercover work with the FBI during the ADM scandal was the inspiration for the 2009 major motion picture, “The Informant,” starring Matt Damon as Mark.

Back by popular demand, will be our music leaders Rodney Gross and Chuck Mitchell.  This will be a morning to remember as you fellowship with others from all over Carroll County and beyond.

Chuck Whitmore, Program Chair

++++++++++++++++++++++
Ticket Rally Breakfast August 8, 2015 8 am First Presbyterian Church

Save the date Saturday, August 8th for the Ticket Rally Breakfast at 8 a.m. in the First Presbyterian Church gym (across from Pritts Funeral Home) on Washington Rd.  You will learn the details of our October annual prayer breakfast and tickets will be distributed.  The ticket Rally Breakfast is free.  We hope to have at least 30 people attend because this is the easiest way to have a broad distribution of tickets for the October breakfast.  Invite friends from other churches to come and get tickets for their men’s groups.

Check out our new website: Facebook.com/CarrollCountyMDChristianMenPrayerBreakfast Thanks to Darrel Davis for putting this up!!

December 11, 2014: William Winchester embraced opportunity by Dean Minnich

December 11, 2014: Winchester embraced opportunity by Dean Minnich
http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/05/december-11-2014-william-winchester.html

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/opinion/ph-cc-minnich-1211-20141211,0,1307124.column

William Winchester founded Westminster 250 years ago, and the city celebrated by bringing him back to life.

Well, sort of.

Dean Camlin, architect, portrays Winchester in an ongoing series of public appearances during this observance, and the most recent sighting was at a tea hosted Sunday at the Westminster Library by the Historical Society, Genealogical Society, and others.


Camlin showed up in the clothing of 1764…

[…]

The website, with a lot of input by Kevin Dayhoff, and other writings by Catherine Baty, Anne and George Horvath, Mary Ann Ashcroft and others give us a glimpse of how Westminster's story – and William Winchester's – is one of a people separating themselves from one culture and recreating themselves and the world in which they would live.


http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/opinion/ph-cc-minnich-1211-20141211,0,1307124.column

Dean Minnich was a Navy photojournalist during the Viet Nam war and has worked as a reporter, photographer, feature writer, and manager in news operations for daily and weekly newspapers in Maryland and Pennsylvania. His columns have earned multiple awards from the Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association, Society of Professional Journalists, Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association and others. http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/cct-dean-minnich-20140603,0,2860695,bio.columnist

Activists versus busybodies

May 28, 2015
The differences between activists and busybodies can be hard to spot, so I'll take a few minutes of my not-so-valuable time to see if we can sort it out. It beats coming up with a solution to the Middle East situation.
  • Hogan shows the GOP colors
    May 21, 2015
    We don't have enough money to fix bridges, but we can afford about $55 million less in annual revenues from Bay Bridge tolls. No brainer: Cut the bridge tolls.
  • No telling what voters are thinking
    May 14, 2015
    There's no telling what voters are thinking. I should say, no telling if voters are thinking. One reason why newspaper reporters are cynical is that they've seen too many election results that defy reason.
  • You can fool some all of the time
    May 7, 2015
    Last week, the Carroll County government spent some of your money to obey a law shoved through years ago and ran a notice of proposed real property tax increase. The ad is perfectly legal. In fact, it is legally required — but the prescribed language of the notice is so inaccurate that it falls somewhere between a hoax and outright fraud because of one missing word that represents a triumph of political spin and clout.
  • Pictures, stories made from mud
    April 23, 2015
    Bart Walters is not only a world class sculptor; he's a top-notch story-teller, too.
  • Work remains to ensure equality
    April 16, 2015
    As Jean and John Lewis were being presented the 2015 Human Relations Commission's award, I was reminded again and what we still don't know, and how what we think we know is so far removed from what most of us truly understand.
  • Fact, opinion and elusive truth
    April 9, 2015
    When I read Salon.com columnist Sidney Blumenthal's First Amendement Reflections quote on theCarroll County Times opinion page March 11, "Gradually and imperceptibly, after taking decades to establish, the standard of objectivity shifted to become the opposite of what it had once been. Objectivity became an artificial balancing act of presenting competing claims," I thought of an ongoing conversation I am having with an old friend about truth.
  • Easy ways to ruin a business
    April 2, 2015
    Lots of magazines and web pages will tell you how to be a success in business; I will take a different approach here. I will tell you how to run a perfectly good business into the ground.
  • Changing view of middle class
    March 26, 2015
    You hear a lot these days about the middle class: Politicians want to help the middle class, marketers target the middle class, people struggle to get into the middle class. So what is middle class, anyway?
  • Choose central committees wisely
    March 19, 2015
    As the politicians and others wrangle out a way to avoid the kind of freak show that played out with the local Republican Central Committee's inability to come together on selecting a successor to an elected official who has been moved out of one office and into another role, let us focus: All we have to do to avoid this in the future is pay better attention to central committee candidates, and then make sure there's a good voter turnout.
  • Videos don't tell the whole story
    March 12, 2015
    If the current discussion about the use of body cameras on cops and cellphone videos taken at the scenes of encounters between police and people in the streets runs the apparent course, we won't need courts or judges in the future.
  • Make a plan, but make it good
    March 5, 2015
    Finally: The county's master plan gets an update.
  • Infrastructure needs attention
    February 26, 2015
    Pay for the roads and spare the workers
  • Insider look at open meetings
    February 19, 2015
    Since I'm of two minds about the issue of open meetings and laws to enforce compliance, I thought it might be fun to have the ultimate insider interview showing at least two sides of the argument.
  • A ship sinks and America rises
    February 12, 2015
    Remember the Maine? Sunday will mark the 117th anniversary of the beginning of America's role as a world power. It all began with the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor on Feb. 15, 1898.
  • Revisit special assistant idea
    February 5, 2015
    Special assistants to county commissioners came about after the 2002 elections.
  • Four chaplains showed real faith
    January 29, 2015
    On Tuesday, Feb. 3, Post 31 American Legion will pay respects to the famous four chaplains of the troop ship Dorchester, which sank in the Atlantic 72 years ago to the day.
  • Not crazier, just more connected
    January 22, 2015
    Maybe the world isn't any nuttier than it ever was. Maybe we just hear more about it, sooner, and with pictures.
  • Games on and off the field
    January 15, 2015
    OK, I am at the point where I am willing to turn in my Man card, give up my claim to sports fanatic status, and retreat to a Walden Pond and read poetry.
  • Resolve to cut out the noise
    January 8, 2015
    I keep hearing the same headline on the radio and cable TV news: The economy is improving but the average American citizen does not see it and does not believe it.
  • Stacking the deck on the white board
    January 1, 2015
    Commissioner Richard Rothschild is hard at work carrying water for those whose plan is to ensure that there are no plans.
  • Peace on Earth, in spite of us
    December 25, 2014
    I was forced to sing the only negative verse of a Christmas song put on for the school when I was in the sixth grade. It still bothers me.
  • Shuffle leaves voters out
    December 18, 2014
    Pop quiz: Who would you trust with your vote – if you couldn't vote?
  • Winchester embraced opportunity
    December 11, 2014
    William Winchester founded Westminster 250 years ago, and the city celebrated by bringing him back to life.
  • Libraries feed the hungry mind
    December 4, 2014
    Given a choice between a lifetime discount coupon to a mega book store or a good library, I'll choose the library.
  • The enduring tradition is change
    November 27, 2014
    My daughter-in-law has taken on the tradition of cooking Thanksgiving dinner, for which I am grateful. Grandma is, too.
  • Ethics: Game, or moral principles
    November 20, 2014
    Somehow, Joe Burns Jr. was appointed by the present Republican board of county commissioners to the county's ethics commission and serves as chair, a key gatekeeper of principles.
  • Education is never complete
    November 13, 2014
    It's easy to like Jim Ball – Dr. James Ball, if we're going to be professional and appropriately formal. It's intuitive. He's one of those people you just naturally like.
  • Imagination knows no bounds
    November 6, 2014
    Now that the elections are over and sanity has a chance to live again, this is a good time of year to visit your favorite farmers' market, flea market, art show or performance featuring the works and passions of our friends and neighbors.
  • Best among the missing in elections
    October 23, 2014
    Elections are just around the corner and we like to think that our system ensures that the best candidates come out on top. If that were true we'd have a better county. A better country, too.
  • Calm before the election storm
    October 16, 2014
    Candidates, particularly the incumbents, seem to be lying low, waiting for those last few critical days before the election when all the mud hits the fan. Most of the mud has been in storage for days, weeks or months, and timing is everything.
  • Bad habits adding to jobless rate
    October 9, 2014
    Carroll Hospital Center says job applicants who chew nicotine gum need not apply. It makes me wonder if the overall jobless rate is tied somehow to employers' perspectives on personal habits of applicants.
  • Smile when you write that email
    October 2, 2014
    Who's on your email list?
  • Opportunity, for some anyway
    September 25, 2014
    Scenario One: Opportunistic white men serve a clientele of privileged classes by selling slaves who were taken against their will from a culture that was considered ignorant and less civilized. The workers toiled for sustenance, but their labor made their owners rich, and often they were employed to amuse the upper classes in assorted roles, from concubines to musicians and artisans, sometimes with a promise of eventual freedom.
  • Some trends we could live without
    September 18, 2014
    So, what was the inspiration for the irritating tendency for a certain generation to begin every sentence in an interview with a reporter, "So, thank you for asking."?
  • The road took a fork 13 years ago
    September 11, 2014
    Cal Bloom stepped out of his barber shop on Main Street, looking for someone to tell the news: A plane had just flown into the World Trade Center in New York. It was on television, live.
  • Parting plan more like a plot
    September 4, 2014
    The difference between a plan and a plot is mostly intent.
  • Pendulum swings on arming cops
    August 28, 2014
    What short memories we have. Perhaps it's a cultural defensive mechanism to allow us to delete from our collective memory debates that are never really resolved.
  • Artificial knowledge stunts thinking
    August 21, 2014
    You can look it up on the Internet and find facts about anything. Enough to sound like an engineer for about 500 words. But don't build a bridge with your new education. You haven't given it enough thought.
  • Clear structure helped government
    August 14, 2014
    The headline in last Thursday's paper read "Chief of staff title changed to combat misconceptions." Well, perhaps.
  • Leave landfill for next board
    August 7, 2014
    If the current board of commissioners has not done anything about the county landfill by now, it's probably just better if they leave it alone until after Robin Frazier and Haven Shoemaker leave office.
  • What your shower shoes say about you
    July 31, 2014
    Make no mistake: I am a casual guy. I didn't write the book on dressing down, but I dog-eared the pages. I stopped wearing ties to work and social events when many of my cohorts were still wearing their Sunday best to visit a funeral home. But my navel was always covered, and I maintain the standard that you did not go out to breakfast in the shirt you slept in.
  • Staff cuts bleed the public interest
    July 24, 2014
    County government is just three or four key people away from becoming even more dysfunctional than it has become over the past four years.
  • We'll keep a light on for you
    July 17, 2014
    America has a problem with kids from other countries showing up on the borders expecting to be welcomed.
  • More quiet time, less quiet
    July 10, 2014
    I have been blessed with wonderful neighbors, with whom I have lived in harmony.
  • Twin sinks and marriage
    July 3, 2014
    I don't need two sinks and enough room in a bathroom to have a bocce court or a rugby scrum.
  • It's not lying if it's part of the game
    June 26, 2014
  • Dean Minnich: Silliness will subside after Tuesday
    June 19, 2014
  • Dean Minnich: Indifference not in the Constitution
    June 12, 2014
  • Dean Minnich: Lose the signs and D-Day was here
    June 5, 2014
  • Dean Minnich: Signs point to interesting primary
    May 29, 2014
  • Dean Minnich: RINOs and REDEMs and the election
    May 22, 2014
