My first memory of Mr. Weisgerber was working on the new Westminster High School construction site in 1971. I was working for Tom Senseney Landscaping. It was fascinating to talk with him. He had an amazing mind. He was among a number of great examples that I met growing-up in Westminster - that it is not good enough to be the best – you have to be nice. Mr. Weisgerber was a really-really nice man.

Family and friends may call at Pritts Funeral Home, 412 Washington Road, Westminster, MD 21157 on Wednesday July 29 from 1:00 - 4:00 and 6:00 – 8:00 pm.

The funeral will be held at Grace Lutheran Church, 21 Carroll Street, Westminster at 11:00 am on Thursday July 30. Interment will follow at Meadow Branch Cemetery.

While there he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. He later earned a business degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1977.

Ron joined the United States Navy in 1956 and after Officer Candidate School became a member of the Seabee Corp of Civil Engineers. He retired a Commander after 20 years of service in the Naval Reserve.

"Back in 2005 I approached Aaron Wilson, then a beat writer for the Carroll County Times covering the Baltimore Ravens, about collaborating in some way. I sought to bring more volume and legitimacy to Ravens24x7.com and who better to do that than Wilson?

Since Aaron’s first assignment in Baltimore covering the 2001 NFL Draft, he has always been a beast with a work ethic second to none. His tenacity and tirelessness command the respect of his peers, the team he covers and of course the many fans who consider him to be the premier source for Ravens information.

With the permission of the Carroll County Times, specifically Aaron’s editor Bob Blubaugh, we were able to work out a mutually beneficial partnership."

1950 Westminster Sammy Safety traffic safety reminder

Throughout the history of the city of Westminster, the community has felt strongly about traffic and pedestrian safety. Much of the early history of the police department was full of stories about enforcement matters involving speeding horse and buggies and pedestrian safety. In this picture, from around 1950, a sign character we called “Sammy Safety,” at the corner of Liberty Street and West Main Street at the railroad tracks, proudly proclaims “No traffic deaths since Sept. 3, 1949. Although I have long since forgotten, oral history used to recite the story of the Sept. 3, 1949 traffic death as a cautionary tale.

Johansson's Restaurant in Westminster, MD

Johansson's History

Retrieved on July 21, 2015

A long time ago....during World War II, aboard the Finland/South American Lines, David Johansson was but a gleam in Chef Birger Johansson's eye. It may however explain young David's early desire to become a restaurateur.

And so the story goes, after twenty years in the Carroll County area, David finally found a home at 4 West Main Street. The rich history of the building was always attractive to David. Having been built 1913, it housed a clothing store and tailor shop until 1940 when it was leased to G. C. Murphy for the next forty years.

In 1980 Terry Burke opened The Treat Shop on the first floor. At that time an antique mall occupied the basement. When the antique mall closed a restaurant called The Cellar Door Johansson's Dining House of downtown Westminster Maryland opened.

With the opening of Cranberry Mall in 1987, The Treat Shop moved its retail operation there and The Cellar Door went out of business.

It was at this time that David Johansson leased the downstairs and opened Champs. When the building became available for sale in 1994, David's dream came full circle and so began construction of Johansson's Dining House. Not long after came the construction of Johansson's Microbrewery.

Fox News honors Frederick Co Sheriff Charles Jenkins as one of America's Top 10 Toughest Immigration Sheriffs

America's Top 10 'Toughest' Immigration Sheriffs

http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/us/2010/11/09/americas-toughest-immigration-sheriffs/#/slide/sheriff-charles-jenkins-frederick-county-maryland

These top lawmen may not be household names, but they're vocal, vigilant and very determined to rid their counties of illegal immigrants. Here's a look at some of the country's most outspoken anti-immigration advocates and some of their more significant actions:

Sheriff Charles Jenkins, Frederick County, Maryland

A lifelong resident of Frederick County, Md., Charles Jenkins initiated the controversial 287(g) Immigration Enforcement Program shortly after he was elected in 2006, becoming the first law enforcement official in Maryland to do so. The program, which some say leads to racial profiling, trains deputies to check the immigration status of individuals they arrest and has turned over at least 650 illegal immigrants in the county to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation hearings since its inception. Jenkins told "Maryland Sheriff" magazine last year that the program is the "single best thing" that any lawman could do to keep their citizens safe. He also testified before Congress in March 2009 on the importance of local enforcement of immigration laws. (Frederick County Sheriff's Office)
