Former Westminster employee, Ed Stitely passed away July 3, 2015

I really enjoyed working with Ed at the city. He was conscientious and friendly… He was old-school, hard-working, always willing to help and cared about his job and the other employees and the citizens for whom he worked.

Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but are always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear. Remember he is always with you.

May memories of happy times sustain his family. May God's love embrace his family and bring them peace. Healing graces for his family, friends and colleagues. We keep Ed and his family in our hearts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss.

Kevin E. Dayhoff, Mayor of Westminster, 2001-2005

New Office of the State Fire Marshal patch

New Office of the State Fire Marshal patch http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/07/new-office-of-state-fire-marshal-patch.html

June 2, 2015

According to a recent release by the Office of the State Fire Marshal:

In 2014 the Office of the State Fire Marshal celebrated its 50th Anniversary and for a little over thirty of those years the OSFM has been recognized and identified by the familiar "blue oval" OSFM patch.

For the 50th Anniversary, Fire Marshal Geraci tasked a small cadre of sworn employees to design a special edition 50th Anniversary patch for employees and "in-house" use only.

After designing and formally introducing the 50th Anniversary patch, Fire Marshal Geraci decided the OSFM should have a newer, fresher and re-branded logo and the work group was again given the honorable task of designing a new OSFM patch.

This patch was designed to be unique in its look as well as to show the OSFM is an agency under the Department of State Police. After numerous meetings and design changes, two (2) designs were submitted to the employees of the OSFM and all employees voted for the final patch.

On April 1, 2015 the new logo was officially adopted for official OSFM use. You may have noticed this new logo on recently sent Notice of Investigations (NOI) and News Releases as well as our website and Facebook pages. I wanted to forward you the new logo in JPEG format should you want to use an OSFM logo on your website or on your printed copies. We are requesting you to use this new logo and to discontinue the older "blue oval".

Additionally, OSFM sworn police employees will soon be issued new badges that again are unique its design, clearly identifiable and can not be ordered on a "build a badge" website. Additional information may follow in a News Release in the future from PIO Bruce Bouch.

INCIDENT Classification: FIRE SUPPRESSION - EMS/RESCUE

The emergency response was quickly upgraded in response to a report that individuals were trapped in the fire.

INITIAL ON-SCENE UNIT, Initial Findings, and ACTIONS TAKEN: Westminster first arrived on the scene at 5:18 with Engine 33. Westminster assistant chief Jim Starry in command.

Upon arrival, smoke was evident from the first floor of what appeared to be a structure divided into two apartments, one on the first floor and a second apartment on the second floor.

The emergency responders from Westminster quickly identified one individual inside the structure and one individual outside that appeared to be not moving, perhaps unconscious.

Maryland State Police aviation units were requested.

Westminster firefighters rescued an unresponsive woman from the first floor and located and responded to an unresponsive male outside the dwelling.

Other than suffering from smoke inhalation, the condition of the woman was unknown. Both the male and the female were transported to Carroll Hospital.

Maryland Senior Deputy State Fire Marshall Bruce D. Bouch later reported that both individuals were treated and released from Carroll Hospital.

The fire was declared under control in a short period of time after some quick action by Westminster firefighters which quickly prevented the fire from spreading.

Units remained on the scene for about an hour. Firefighters reported that the fire may have originated in the kitchen. The source of the fire appeared to be two pots on the stove with the burners turned-on high. Firefighters turned-off the burners and ventilated the apartment.

At present, there are no reports of any emergency responders injured in the response.

In addition to Carroll County firefighters, and an initial dispatch of Maryland State Police aviation – which was subsequently terminated when it was determined that the individuals could be transported by ambulance to Carroll Hospital; officers from the Westminster city police responded as well as personnel from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, and the Maryland State Fire Marshalls Office.

According to Deputy Fire Marshall Bruce D. Bouch, investigators have made a preliminary determination that the fire was accidental as a result of unattended cooking on the stove in the kitchen.

Bouch further cautioned that folks ought to always stay in the kitchen while cooking. “If you have to leave the kitchen, turn the stove off,” reminded Bouch.

The incident and the fire remains under the joint investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshal’s office and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

Report filed by Westminster Volunteer Fire Department public information officer Chaplain Kevin E. Dayhoff. The Westminster Volunteer Fire Department may be reached at (410) 848-1800.

Carroll County Times Sunday, April 25, 1999: Warner aims to put experience to work on Manchester Town Council

http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/1999/05/carroll-county-times-sunday-april-25.html

Recently a reader complained that the link was dead. I removed the dead link and restored the rest of the copy from the article. July 3, 2015 (Originally published May 1, 1999)

Carroll County Times Sunday, April 25, 1999

Warner aims to put experience to work on Manchester Town Council

Staff Report [Dead link removed…]

Ryan Warner hopes to put his political experience to use as a member of the Manchester Town Council.

Warner, 24, is running for one of two open council seats in the May 18 election.

The 1998 Towson University graduate has spent a year as a legislative aide to Del. Joe Getty, R-Carroll. He was elected to the Carroll County Republican Central Committee last year and has been vice president of the Carroll County Republican Club since 1997.

[Dead link removed…]

Warner said that if elected, he would focus on public accessibility to local government, the Manchester bypass, the town's search for more water sources, growth and parking concerns.

Gov. Parris Glendening's staff took the Manchester bypass off the books this year, saying it didn't comply with Smart Growth. Hampstead's bypass is still moving ahead, and some Manchester town council members have said they would fight Hampstead's bypass if Manchester can't get its own half-loop around Md. 30.

"Inducing or creating animosity between the Hampstead and Manchester councils would be extremely counterproductive," Warner said.

He said he would try to build consensus on the issue.

He said the town needs to "aggressively advance the search for alternative water sources," and he would start public discussion about whether Manchester should put fluoride in its water. He said Manchester is one of the few municipalities in the state that does not have fluoride in its water, meaning school-age kids have to take fluoride tablets.

Warner said Manchester should stick to its master plan to deal with growth and preserve the town's past while preparing it for the future.

He said town codes allow some developments to be built with streets that aren't wide enough to allow parking on the street. That should change, he feels.
