Thursday 8 am. And it is always good to see Kelly Heck. I can always geek-out
and talk with her about art, technology, and photography. She rules.
And it is always good to see Kelly Heck at a Carroll County
Chamber event. She rules.
Good turnout but it seemed that Ag, the number one business
in Carroll County and the state was under-represented.
Jan. 7, 2016 Carroll County Chamber of Commerce Legislative
Kickoff Breakfast was sponsored by BGE and Comcast. Always good to see Mike
Fowler, the BGE representative, who spoke well and mentioned the 200th
anniversary of BGE
Bill Gavin is the Chamber Legislative Committee chair… Has
chaired the committee for 40 years.
Del. Haven Shoemaker. … Discussed his committee assignment
and shared a few examples of matters that have caught his attention. I continue
to like his straightforward no nonsense style
Several brought-up the need to inject some funds into the
state pension system to shore-up the fund. Not much mention of pension reform.
Last year’s efforts to scale back the taxes on military
pensions was mentioned and continuing the efforts to stop taxing retirement
incomes because all those folks are leaving the state...
Del. Susan Krebs... Also thanked the Chamber legislative
committee…
Regulatory reform commission initiative… Revenues good but
unfortunately it is from Capital gains taxes. Whole different posture with Gov.
Hogan…
Sen. Justin Ready… also thanked the Chamber… discussed
process a bit… real and significant tax relief… We do not have a budget
surplus, we have a fund balance.
Del. Trent Kittleman represents a portion of Carroll Co.
Regulatory reform. The importance of supporting business. Has one bill that
students pass the citizenship test.
×××××
A number of important issues were raised during the question
and answer period. A number of folks asked some good questions and the Carroll
County Delegation to Annapolis was very forthcoming, transparent, and
articulate about many complex topics. Hats off to the elected officials who
attended.
Several members of the Board of Ed were there. Bob Lord,
Devon Rothschild, Jim Doolan, and Virginia Harrison as well as school
superintendent Steve Guthrie.
Carroll County Commissioners Dennis Frazier and Richard
Rothschild attended as well as Taneytown Councilwoman Diane Foster and Mayor
McCarron.
New Windsor Mayor Neal Roop and Council member Ed Pals grove
attended.
A question was asked about automatic voting registration
The problem of high filing fees for personal property taxes…
Mandatory paid sick leave and paid family leave and
mandatory … Mandated benefits… have a negative impact… on business.
Need 7 more in the house and 5 in the senate… for veto-proof
legislature
High speed internet access badly needed in rural areas. The
last mile… necessary for expanding business in rural area. And necessary for
supporting ag, the number 1 business in Carroll County.
A single consolidated time off benefit… combine sick leave,
vacation …
Restoration of Highway User Revenues. … New secretary for
MDOT…
Dennis Frazier: Last mile will cost 200 million. Last mile
will cost Westminster 24 million.
The idea of allowing large grocery stores to sell alcohol.
Ready: alcohol is a controlled substance… Allowing the huge big boxes and
grocery stores to sell alcohol will damage small businesses and allow alcohol
to be too easily available. …
State law that requires 2 year residence registration for
manufacturers… small breweries…
Definition of small business
Del. Krebs: Cost of healthcare is driving the budget.
Medicaid is a huge cost…
Net out-migration of the wealthiest Marylanders.
Bill to overturn the estate tax relief and exemption.
Redistricting. Gerrymandering. …
The breakfast concluded at 9:29 am.

Photographs of Kelly Heck on display in Westminster
Kevin Dayhoff
May 5, 2011
http://kbetrue.livejournal.com/384558.html
“Beautiful Silence,” a photo-essay by local Westminster award-winning artist, photographer, and web designer Kelly Heck, is the subject of an exhibition at Off Track Art in historic downtown Westminster during the months of May and June.
According to Heck, the photographic series “is about experiencing true peace, illustrated through landscapes taken in and around the Carroll County, Maryland area.”
Heck’s carefully structured photographs in the exhibition belie a strong classical foundation in the artistic fundamentals of the marriage of art and photography
Featuring stark contrasts found in winter the snow-covered landscape scenes and natural still-lifes are certainly wordless, but anything but silent. The images of snow and winter paradoxically and softly tell a warm story in their own voices, without words, using their quiet, soft – inside voices – if you will...
In one photograph, a snow-covered field is bisected by a fence line that features the winter-lined silhouette of a tree. The tree almost appears animated as it speaks, on behalf of the fence, to the audience of the crop field in the foreground.
Heck, according to her website, http://www.kellyheckphotography.com/, “is most passionate about creative portraiture and shooting on location. Her goal is to create scenes that are unnatural by intensifying vibrant colors and textures from the environment and her subjects…”
Heck has received a number of awards for her art and photography. In 2007, Heck’s “Bird Series” won second place in the PDNedu Competition and was published in PDNedu Magazine. It also won third place in the 62nd CPOY, College Photographer Of The Year, and was published on the cover of SCAD's annual Silver & Ink publication.
In an explanation of “Beautiful Silence,” Heck explains on her website, “If you haven’t tried it yet, venture outside during the next snowfall. Wait until a few inches have settled on the ground. You will have to remove yourself from noise. Escape from civilization; voices, home, business, traffic, machinery, phones, music ‐ any human sound.
“Surround yourself with nature. Find a spot with the snow falling around you. A wooded area is especially perfect, removing you from harsh, cool winds that whistle by your ears. Stand motionless and breathe deeply. Quietly. Allow the tranquility to fill you up. Close your eyes, if you wish, and enjoy being removed from it all.
“Slowly and surely, you will find that even though you have escaped the sound of humanity, it is not silent. Everyone is at home, safe and warm from the dangers of icy roads.
“Even the wildlife has somewhat settled. All you hear is the gentle clicking of snow falling to the ground. It is an elegant, comforting noise, a retreat from days filled with commotion. Breathe softly. This beautiful silence can so easily soothe your mind into a meditative state of utter relaxation.
“In this moment, you can forget your worries and focus only on your center of gravity. This is true peace, and the most genuine I have ever found.”
Heck earned her BFA in photography as a result of her studies at the Savannah College of Art & Design, in Savannah, Georgia. Her interest in fine art grew into a concentration of photography at an early age, and she has practiced it as a career ever since.
She currently applies her artistic training and has put her education to work at InfoPathways.com, in the former Maryland Unemployment Insurance Office at the corner of Green and Liberty Street, in Westminster.
This is certainly convenient for Heck for showing at Off Track Art, a local artist cooperative which is located in the same block, at the side entrance of 11 Liberty Street, right beside the railroad tracks off the Sentinel parking lot.
An opening night reception for Heck and her work will be held this Friday May 6th, 2011, from 5:30-7:30 p.m at 11 Liberty Street, in Westminster. Click here for directions.
The show will remain on exhibition through June 25th. Off Track Art is open Wednesday through Friday 12:00-6:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00-5:00 p.m. For more information call 443 340 6317.
Other exhibiting artists at Off Track Art include Mary Decker, Kevin Dayhoff, Gail Elwell, Linda Van Hart, Judy Goodyear, Charlotte Laslo, Cathy Sawdey, Gordon Wickes, Robert Waddell, Pamela Zappardino, Phil Grout, and Carolyn Seabolt. Off Track Art may be found online at http://www.offtrackart.org/.
The writer, Kevin Dayhoff, along with photojournalist Phil Grout, also exhibit their work at Off Track Art and work for the Carroll Eagle www.explorecarroll.com and Patuxent Publishing Company.
