Increased Law Enforcement in Carroll Co. Public Schools Effective Wed., March 21, 2018

March 20, 2018

According to a recent joint release by the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and Carroll County Public Schools: “In a partnership with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and the Carroll County Public Schools, the Carroll County Commissioners will fund an increased law enforcement presence in schools.

“Effective Wednesday, March 21, 2018, the Security Plan places Carroll County Sheriff’s Deputies at various schools throughout the county.

“These uniformed Deputies will not only interact with the students and faculty, but also act as a visible deterrent to any criminal activity. This Security Plan will improve safety and security for the remainder of this school year, while discussions on the feasibility of staffing a full School Resource Officer program can be explored.

“’The Board of Carroll County Commissioners believes adding the increased law enforcement presence will have a positive impact on school security and will benefit our entire school system,’ stated Board President Commissioner Dennis Frazier, ‘This investment assures the Carroll County community we are committed to a proactive approach to a safe and secure learning environment.’”

“According to Superintendent of Schools Stephen Guthrie, ‘We are thankful to the Carroll County Commissioners and the Sheriff for making safety in our schools a top priority.’”

Firefighters quick to extinguish flames in Westminster house fire

Firefighters quick to extinguish flames in Westminster house fire

Catalina Righter http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/cc-spring-meadow-fire-20180322-story.html

A Westminster home was damaged following a fire Thursday evening.

The call for service went out just after 6 p.m., and firefighters from Westminster, Reese, New Windsor, and Pleasant Valley companies responded to the residence in the 600 block of Spring Meadow Drive.

Upon arrival, responders observed smoke showing from the single-family dwelling, according to Kevin Dayhoff, spokesman and chaplain for the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department.

Westminster initiated an interior attack, and the fire was immediately extinguished, he said. Significant damage to the structure was observed.

No injuries were reported. Family is assisting the displaced occupants.

The incident remains under investigation by the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

The Westminster Volunteer Fire Department asks that residents take special care with fire safety.

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.

I am enjoying my lunch today with a new friend. However, the conversation is not all it was quacked-up to be. Just saying. I am pondering that at the moment it is my emotional support duck. I hope the airline ticket counter attendant doesn't make me flush 'Dante, the Duck,' down the drain. 13Mar2108

Update: Too funny. Since I have not fed the duck anything, it is now sitting on my foot, starring me in the eye, and quacking up a storm - and I mean loudly. I wonder if I am in danger?
