Sykesville Art & Wine Festival celebrates its seventh year by Kevin Dayhoff May 7, 2017 Carroll County Times

Sykesville Art & Wine Festival celebrates its seventh year by Kevin Dayhoff May 7, 2017 Carroll County Times http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/sykesville/ph-cc-sykesville-art-wine-festival-2-20170507-story.html

Mother Nature smiled on Sunday and provided a beautiful day for folks to take over Sykesville's downtown and have a party. One of the many sure signs that spring has arrived in Carroll County are the sights, sounds, and excitement of the annual Sykesville Fine Art & Wine Festival.

This was the seventh year for the event, according to Julia Della-Maria, Sykesville's Main Street Association coordinator. This year the festival brought about 6,000 visitors to downtown Sykesville, according to Della-Maria.

This a great boost to the "over 30 unique and eclectic businesses (in town) — many of them have received awards for their originality and success," said Della-Maria.

[…]

In a recent release it was announced that Sykesville was named as a quarterfinalist in the competition. Nationwide, "More than 156,000 votes were cast for 242 nominees during the nominations phase," according to the release. "Quarterfinalist voting begins May 1 at www.votesykesville.com and runs through May 28." You really can vote early and often for Sykesville.

Selfie with the Pope

Earlier today, Sunday, May 7, 2017 while I was covering the annual Sykesville Fine Art & Wine Festival, for the newspaper, my (teenage) wife was over chatting with Pope Francis – and she took a selfie. LOL I am never bored.

Matt Candland will move into the Carlisle manager’s office July 2

Former Sykesville Town Manager Matt Candland will move into the Carlisle PA manager’s office July 2

Municipal salaries: Carlisle borough manager will join the six-figure club

By ELIZABETH GIBSON, The Patriot-News Wednesday, June 20, 2012

http://topics.pennlive.com/tag/matt%20candland/posts.html

http://www.carlislepa.org/

Matt Candland will become Carlisle's borough manager next month.

The salary to be paid to the midstate’s newest municipal manager puts him in the enviable $100,000 club.

Matt Candland will move into the Carlisle manager’s office July 2 and be paid $115,000. His salary will jump to $117,834 on Jan. 1.

Borough officials are defending his $115,000 annual salary, $15,000 in moving expenses and other benefits, saying Candland’s pay was set using a contract template that the borough approved in 2010.

The framework is based on guidelines from national and state municipal advisory agencies.

“We’re paying what the market is. We’re not paying above it or below it,” borough council President Perry Heath said Tuesday.

A national municipal association agrees. Wages to be paid the 46-year-old Candland are on target for managers in towns the size of Carlisle, according to a 2011 report by the International County/City Management Association.

Based on 2009 data gathered by The Patriot-News, there were just four midstate municipal managers making $100,000 or more.

Yet Michele Frisby, spokeswoman for the International County/City Management Association, said… http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2012/06/municipal_salaries_carlisle_bo.html

BATTER UP! — Convenience store clerk in Sykesville battered with baseball bat

January 6th, 2012

Darrell L. Webb Jr. is wanted for armed robbery, first degree assault, and theft, after allegedly attacking a convenience store clerk early Friday in Sykesville with a baseball bat. He is still at large.

BYSTANDER INTERRUPTS ROBBERY,
TACKLES ASSAILANT BUT FAILS
TO SUBDUE HIM FOR POLICE

2nd BASEBALL BAT ATTACK IN WEEK

By Kevin E. Dayhoff

A baseball bat was the weapon of choice as a High’s Dairy Store employee in Carroll County was assaulted for the second time this week by a man who robbed the store, taking an undetermined number of Maryland Lottery scratch-off tickets.

The store clerk at High’s Village Road location in Sykesville was struck several times in the head and body early Friday by an assailant who had allegedly threatened him several days before and who then fled the scene after being interrupted by a bystander who observed the incident and attempted to intervene.

State troopers and Sykesville police responded to the store about 6:45 a.m. Friday in answer to a report of an “assault with a baseball bat.”

According to the Maryland State Police, when the officers arrived on the scene, they “located the lone store clerk suffering from multiple injuries from an apparent strike to the head and body with a baseball bat.”

A warrant was subsequently issued for Darrell L. Webb Jr., 21, of the 1800 block of Amanda Lane in Sykesville, charging him with armed robbery, first-degree assault, and theft, with additional charges pending.

“Troopers believe Webb acted alone and at this time is the only suspect in the incident,” the state police reported.

Ivy Wells, the Town of Sykesville’s Main Street manager — who resigned from that office on Sept. 29 in a dispute with the mayor and Town Council — announced this week that she wished to rescind the resignation and remain on the job.

The town released a statement on Wednesday saying Wells had rescinded the resignation on Oct. 12, one day before it was scheduled to take effect Oct. 13.

The statement said the mayor and Town Council, who had not yet accepted her resignation, were happy to hear of her reversal.

“We are glad that Ivy will continue working with the town in making downtown Sykesville vibrant and vital,” said Mayor Michael Miller.
