City's top cop has record of excellence
Arnold is Westminster's Police Officer of the Year
By Bob Allen

Posted 3/18/09
(Enlarge) Westminster Police Chief Jeff Spaulding, left, congratulates Officer Steve Arnold, center, as Officer of the Year, as Arnold’s wife Diana Arnold, right, looks on. In previous years, Arnold has received the department’s Volunteer of the Year and Civilian of the Year honors. (Staff photo by Go Takayama)
The department's 18 police officers, civilian employees and volunteers honored at the Monday afternoon ceremony were partly responsible for that decrease, he said.
"I really can't explain (the decrease) except that there's been a lot of good work done by the people in this department," Spaulding said.
The highest award, for 2008 Police Officer of the Year, went to South Carroll High School graduate, Private First Class Steve Arnold.
Spaulding detailed the eight-year department veteran's accomplishments last year. As a patrol officer, he responded to 600 calls and provided backup on more than 300 additional calls.
Arnold also took part in 116 criminal investigations, resulting in 133 arrests.
[...]
The department's 2008 Civilian of the Year award went to Karen Bullock, a nine-year veteran.
"With each passing year, Karen plays a more pivotal role in nearly every aspect of our operations," Spaulding said as he presented the award. "She is really the oil on the gears that keep me and the rest of the department working efficiently."
Additional 2008 award winners were as follows:
*Hampstead resident Cecilia Dembroski, a retired accountant who logged 176 hours last year while lending a hand with various clerical and administrative duties, earned the Volunteer of the Year Award.
*Communications Specialist Linda Knott and Corp. Radcliffe Darby were recipients of the department's 2008 Community Service Awards.
*Detective First Class Rick Lambert, PFC Will Valentine, Lt. Kenny Carlisle and volunteer Zack Zumwald received Chief's Commendation Awards for exemplary work in various specialties.
*The Chief's Challenge Award for top DUI enforcement went to Cpl. Jesse Clagett.
*The Chief's Challenge Award for top total law enforcement was presented to Officer Michael Beaumont.
There were six additional recipients of Chief's Challenge Awards -- Lt. Douglas Johnston, Sgt. Michael Bible, PFC Michael Beaumont, PFC Ronald Garner, PFC Adam Laser and PFC Steve Launchi.
Top Shooter Award went to PFC Steve Launchi, who turned in the department's top 2008 score on the shooting range ... 100 percent.

"Famous Blue Raincoat" by Leonard Cohen
Famous Blue Raincoat Leonard Cohen
MariaAdouaneta
December 20, 2007
Its four in the morning, the end of December
Im writing you now just to see if youre better
New york is cold, but I like where Im living
Theres music on clinton street all through the evening.
I hear that youre building your little house deep in the desert
Youre living for nothing now, I hope youre keeping some kind of record.
Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
Youd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without lili marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobodys wife.
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see janes awake –
She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
Im glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come by here, for jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
And jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
-- sincerely, l. cohen

Councilman McIntire: "A mind for the important things" by Bryan Sears
Baltimore County Councilman Bryan McIntire – “A mind for the important things” by Bryan Sears http://tinyurl.com/c2sslb
If the County Council had a protocol expert or an official historian, either job would no doubt fall to Councilman Bryan McIntire.
McIntire, the council’s lone Republican, has fashioned himself a reputation on the council in both these areas.
Want to know the origin of the flag that looks like a Maryland flag with a Union Jack inset in the upper left-hand corner? McIntire is your man. Want to know the proper placement of the U.S. flag? Again, ask the councilman.,
And while it was surprising to hear that the state and county seals in the council’s chambers contain mistakes, it was not a shock that McIntire knew it.
McIntire explained the errors to a group of Boy Scouts who attended a recent council voting session and opened the proceedings up by leading the Pledge of Allegiance.

Dean Minnich’s “A History of Westminster” on the WTTR web site
Dean Minnich’s “A History of Westminster” on the WTTR web site
(I was giving a fellow reporter a hand with some WTTR history the other day and found this in a Google-search… It was originally written by now-Carroll County Commissioner Dean Minnich. Commissioner Minnich really captured the essence of Westminster… Kevin Dayhoff March 20, 2009)
An excerpt from "Towns & Villages of Carroll County" by Dean L. Minnich, 1995
http://www.wttr.com/westminster.html
Ask a resident of Westminster to describe the town, and the answer you get will depend as much on where they grew up as on their current address.
Those who grew up riding their bikes on Main Street and through the alleys will know a different city than the parent who watches a child explore a tot lot in The Greens. Old-timers with memories of the City Restaurant and G. C. Murphy’s, the State Theater and shooting rats with .22’s at the city dump at the end of Monroe Street (site of the present St. John’s school and church) will know a different town than the 20-something young man walking dogs in Furnace Hills or the women enjoying Ladies’ Night at Tully’s.
The truth is, like most other Carroll County towns, Westminster’s story is a tale of two cities; one kept alive by traditions and old perspectives and another that is emerging with the changes of time and growth. It is a microcosm of the story of Carroll County at large; it is the story of every small town in the county, but on a larger scale.

Washington Times Editorial: Never waste a good crisis
Never waste a good crisis March 16, 2009 Washington Times Editorial
(I just re-read this – and it is really worth sharing… Kevin Dayhoff)
"Never waste a good crisis" has become the semi-official motto of the Obama administration.
We first heard it from the Machiavellian Rahm Emmanuel last November, when he said "you never want a serious crisis to go to waste. … It's an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before." The gaffe-prone Hillary Clinton echoed this sentiment in Europe earlier this month. Then President Obama, in his Saturday radio address, urged America to "discover great opportunity in the midst of great crisis."
Emergencies call for urgent responses that allow little time for substantive debate. That is why ambitious pols treat them like winning lottery tickets. In one sense, we can't blame them. Some lawmakers have been quietly feeding their pet ideas since the Watergate crisis or the recession of 1982. They missed out back then and won't see another chance in their lifetimes. So every aged idea got crated onto the stimulus bill. One thing we can say about this Congress: It has learned nothing and forgotten nothing.

mBUSHed Jenna Bush Secret Service vehicle towed
amBUSHed - Jenna Bush Secret Service vehicle towed for unpaid parking tickets By Stephen Janis Friday, 20 March 2009 11:29
Investigative Voice
Investigative Voice
Hat Tip: Bryan Sears
(When I was young and idealistic, I lived in Charles Village for a year. Although I do not recall ever getting a parking ticket - parking and worry over parking enforcement are not my fonder memories. However, I will always remember my truck being towed once. To this day I never saw the sign… and I have never thoroughly understood why it was towed. If was an off-the-scale unpleasant experience. It re-wired my entire outlook on going to Baltimore for anything. In other major cities – I use public transportation – which is beyond horrid in Baltimore. Kevin Dayhoff)
Not even the U.S. Secret Service is immune from the wrath of Baltimore parking agents.
Baltimore parking authority officials confirmed today that Jenna Bush's Secret Service vehicle was towed for several unpaid parking tickets.
The Secret Service vehicle was towed from in front of Bush's South Baltimore home, a source told Investigative Voice. Vehicles are booted and towed for three or more unpaid parking tickets.

I can no longer deny it. Things have, well … thickened … a little around my middle. Now, this could be a result of encroaching middle age. It could be that I lead a sedentary life chained, for most of the day, to a desk. It could be my love for chocolate. In fact, that may be the only reason…
