War between the states returns to Westminster

If you thought you saw Civil War ghosts roaming the streets of Westminster this past weekend, it wasn't your imagination.

On Saturday, re-enactors participated in a parade through the city to honor those who fought in the Civil War battle of Corbit's Charge. And throughout the weekend, re-enactors and visitors kept a camp along Center Street bustling with activities and lessons from more than a century ago.

Every year, the locally-based Pipe Creek Civil War Roundtable hosts an event commemorating the battle of Corbit's Charge, which took place in Westminster.

On June 29, 18...

The week-long program for high school students began a decade ago, and has been held at the Sykesville facility for the past three years.

But this was special for local residents -- it was the first year the program has been open to Carroll Count...

Starry Night adds line to serve special dietary needs

With its thick layer of icing and moist texture, the chocolate "vegan" cupcake could easily be confused for one of the many other delicious cupcakes at Starry Night Bakery in Westminster.

But this cupcake, as well as the vegan muffins and cookies, are completely dairy-free -- with no milk, butter or eggs to be found in its ingredients.

Many of the bakery's selections at Starry Night are also sugar-free, including flavorings for coffee.

"I try to have a little bit of a variety available every day," said Shannon Clarke, owner and pastry chef, of her vegan and sugar-free selec...

That problem hasn't gone away, and we must be ever vigilant in electing local and...
