Friday, August 13, 2015 Official: Westminster fires intentionally set http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-cc-westminster-fire-20150814-story.html

Friday, August 13, 2015 http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-westminster-fire-20150814-story.html

Two shed fires that occurred in close proximity and just a few hours apart early Thursday morning in Westminster were intentionally set, likely by the same person, according to a spokesman of the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

Deputy State Fire Marshal Tim Warner said no suspect was in custody as of 5 p.m., but the fire marshal's office is continuing to investigate. Anyone with information about either incident is asked to contact the fire marshal's office at 410-836-4844.

My story on the August 10, 2015 meeting of the Westminster Mayor and Common Council got bumped at the very last minute for space limitations. Please find it on my community website, www.kevindayhoff.org - Westminster Maryland Online: everything that is great about Westminster, Carroll County Maryland.

And he ran my picture of Superintendent John Rawlings in the Carroll Eagle section of the Baltimore Sun Sunday edition, August 16, 2015.

John Rawlings is awesome… Westminster councilman Greg Pecoraro and Tony Chiavacci, Westminster council president Dr. Robert Wack, Westminster Mayor Kevin Utz, Westminster Police Chief Jeff Spaulding, Westminster councilwoman Dr. Mona Becker and Suzanne Albert.

The Westminster mayor and common council are doing some good things for our community. Read my article here: http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/08/broad-range-of-topics-discussed-at.html

August 13, 2015

By Kevin E. Dayhoff www.kevindayhoff.org

For many years, the Battery Warehouse in Westminster has been my go-to place to figure-out hard to answer battery questions and solve difficult battery needs.

It seems that batteries are everywhere these days. All different shapes, sizes and types. I recall the days when the extent of my experience with batteries was flashlight batteries.

The Battery Warehouse always seems to have an ample supply of hard to find batteries and they have always been able to solve my difficult battery questions.

A number of years ago, I had problems with several computer power back-up battery units for when the power goes out. They spent a great deal of time analyzing the problems. Many places would have been content to simply say that I needed to buy new units. But the Battery Warehouse figured-out the problem and fixed it for free. My only cost was a couple of new batteries, which was a bargain in comparison of the cost if new battery back-ups.

 

It is a locally family-owned business and I go out of my way to patronize locally owned small businesses. Not only is the Battery Warehouse very good at what they do, but they are friendly – and the customer service is great.

The Battery Warehouse is easy to locate and access. It is just east of Market Street at the east end of town. Their hours are: Monday - Friday 8:30am - 6:00pm / Saturday 9:00am - 4:00pm

According to their website, http://www.batterywarehouse.net/carroll-county-maryland-westminster-eldersburg-md.php

Our Westminster MD location is convenient to all parts of Carroll County Maryland including Hampstead, Manchester, Taneytown, Mt Airy, Sykesville and Eldersburg MD. Our location stocks 100's of batteries and is worth the drive from anywhere in Carroll County for our great prices and professional service.

Carroll H. Staggs, Jr., 75, of Westminster

Carroll H. Staggs, Jr., 75, of Westminster

http://www.myersdurborawfh.com/obits/obituary.php?id=563088

Carroll H. Staggs, Jr., 75, of Westminster, died unexpectedly early Saturday morning, August 1, 2015 at Carroll Hospital Center.

Coach Staggs was my Westminster Junior High School basketball coach and my science teacher. He was wonderful in both positions.

As a science teacher he helped instill and reinforce what would become a life-long interest in botany – and later horticulture. I later made a meager living farming by raising nursery stock and often thought of Coach Stagg’s science classes…

He was friendly, kind and passionate about his work and it was infectious.

As for basketball; I loved to play basketball but alas, in the end I was such a horrible basketball player that I later turned to wrestling for a winter sport in high school.

But I will always remember that he once put me in a basketball game in the old Taneytown High School gym. I was thrilled. Bill Fourhman passed the ball to Mark Causey who passed the ball to me and I scored a bucket. The only two points I ever scored in competitive high school basketball in my entire life. Thanks to the kindness and passion of Coach Staggs who put me in the game even when it was obvious that I could not dribble a basketball and breathe at the same time.

Visitation at the Myers Durboraw Funeral Home was quite hard. There were many pictures from the 1960s that caused a flood of memories of the Westminster I knew growing-up in the 1950s and 1960s. It was a friendly and affirming small town where we cared for each other and looked after each other. We were somewhat isolated and probably quite naive.

The war in Vietnam had not quite hit home and challenges of urban strife could only be found in the pages of the News American, or the Morning and Evening Sun – I was a Morning Sun person…

Westminster was a friendly and fun town unfettered by the hastiness of today’s day-to-day subsistence existence. This was long before the oustlanders– the newcomers - came to Westminster and Carroll County to call to our attention all our shortcomings and save us from ourselves. It was not a perfect town. There is no such thing. But my memories of growing-up in Westminster are perfect. And a legion of folks like Coach Staggs helped make it perfect.

According to Coach Staggs’ obituary:

Born December 6, 1939 in Cumberland, he was the son of the late Carroll H. Staggs, Sr. and Mary Fern Tressler Staggs.  He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Waltraut Flender Staggs.

Carroll was a graduate of Frostburg State Teachers College with a degree in Education and earned his Master’s Degree in Education from Frostburg. 

He loved teaching, and was a Science teacher at East and West Middle Schools for 38 years, where he coached middle school basketball. 

He was very passionate about his church and family and was a very active member of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, serving as the Usher Coordinator, chair of the Worship and Witness Committee, Past President of the Consistory and rang the bell on Memorial Day.  

Carroll was very active in the Carroll County Education Association and was a representative of CCEA Retired Teachers.  He was a member of Carroll County Old Timers Baseball Association and was an avid sports fan of the Baltimore Orioles, Pittsburgh Pirates and attended many local high school and college basketball games. 

He was always looking out for others and was willing to lend a helping hand.  Other loves were spending time outdoors, tending to his garden, fishing and hunting.  He travelled on bus trips, attended dinner theatres, and enjoyed having breakfast with family and friends.

Surviving in addition to his wife is a daughter, Laura McClelland and husband, William, of Finksburg; son, Jeffrey Staggs and wife, Theresa, of Westminster; brother, David Staggs of Frostburg; nieces and nephews, and a great-niece.  He was predeceased by a brother, Roger Staggs.

A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, August 5th at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, 17 Bond Street, Westminster, with his pastor, Reverend Marty Kuchma, officiating.  Burial will be private in Deer Park Methodist Cemetery.  The family will receive friends on Tuesday from 2-4 and 6-8 PM at the MYERS-DURBORAW FUNERAL HOME, 91 Willis St, Westminster, MD.  

Memorial contributions may be made in his name to the St. Paul's U.C.C., 17 Bond Street, Westminster, MD  21157, American Diabetes Association, P.O. Box 11454, Alexandria, VA 22312 or to the National Kidney Foundation  1301 York Road Suite 404, Lutherville, MD   21093.
