On Monday, July 22, 2019 Comptroller Franchot visited the Liberty Shop in Westminster
On Monday, July 22, 2019 Comptroller Franchot visited the
Liberty Shop in Westminster to remind residents of the upcoming Shop Maryland
Tax-Free Week, which runs from Sunday, August 11th, through Saturday, August
17th.
There he was joined by Westminster City Councilwoman Ann
Thomas Gilbert, and Councilmembers Kevin Dayhoff, and Ben Yingling, Md. State
Delegate Susan Krebs, and Carroll County Commissioners Richard Weaver and Steve
Wantz.
Franchot visited the newly renovated tap room of Pub Dog
Brewing in Westminster off of New Windsor Road, and was also joined, by state,
county, and local representatives.
During the week, qualifying clothing and footwear priced
$100 or less will be exempt from Maryland’s 6 percent sales tax. And for the
third year, the Comptroller is partnering with the Maryland Retailers
Association to provide scholarships of $2,500 and $1,000 to two students
attending Maryland public colleges or trade schools.
Brewer and President George Humbert talked a little about
the renovation, as well as his experience of the regulatory side of the brewing
business.

“Comptroller visits Carroll to kick off tax-free shopping, check in on
burgeoning brewery industry.”
Later in the day, members of the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce were joined by Westminster Mayor Joe Dominick, and council members Kevin Dayhoff and Ann Thomas Gilbert for the ribbon cutting of “Battleground,” a video gaming salon in the Westminster TownMall. 22Jy2019

SAW THIS AND HAD TO SHARE. THIS SHOULD BE ON THE ANSWERING MACHINE AT ALL SHELTERS AND RESCUES.
Press 1 if you have a 10-year-old dog and your 15-year-old son has suddenly become allergic and you need to find the dog a new home right away.
Press 2 if you are moving today and need to immediately place your 150 pound, 8-year-old dog.
Press 3 if you have three dogs, had a baby, and want to get rid of your dogs because you are the only person in the world to have a baby and dogs at the same time.
Press 4 if you just got a brand new puppy and your old dog is having problems adjusting so you want to get rid of the old one right away.
Press 5 if your little puppy has grown up and is no longer small and cute and you want to trade it in for a new model.
Press 6 if you want an unpaid volunteer to come to your home TODAY and pick up the dog you no longer want.
Press 7 if you have been feeding and caring for a “stray” for the last three years, are moving and suddenly determine it’s not your dog.
Press 8 if your dog is sick and needs a vet but you need the money for your vacation.
Press 9 if you are elderly and want to adopt a cute puppy who is not active and is going to outlive you.
Press 10 if your relative has died and you don’t want to care for their elderly dog because it doesn’t fit your lifestyle.
Press 11 if your cat is biting and not using the litter box because it is declawed, but you are not willing to accept the responsibility that the cat’s behavior is altered because of your nice furniture.
Press 12 if your two-year old male dog is marking all over your house but you just haven’t gotten around to having him neutered.
Press 13 if you previously had an outdoor only dog and are calling because she is suddenly pregnant.
Press 14 if you are calling at 6 a.m. to make sure you wake me up before I have to go to work so you can drop a dog off on your way
to work.
Press 15 to leave us an anonymous garbled message, letting us know you have left a dog in our yard in the middle of January, which is, in fact, better than just leaving the dog with no message.
Press 16 if you are going to get angry because we are not going to take your dog that you have had for fifteen years, because it is not our responsibility.
Press 17 if you are going to threaten to take your ten-year old dog to be euthanized because I won’t take it.
Press 18 if you’re going to get angry because the volunteers had the audacity to go on vacation and leave the dogs in care of a trusted volunteer who is not authorized to take your personal pet.
Press 19 if you want one of our PERFECTLY trained, housebroken, kid and cat friendly purebred dogs that we have an abundance of.
Press 20 if you want us to take your dog that has a slight aggression problem, i.e. has only bitten a few people and killed your neighbor’s cats.
Press 21 if you have already called once and been told we don’t take personal surrenders but thought you would get a different person this time with a different answer.
Press 22 if you want us to use space that would go to a stray to board your personal dog while you are on vacation, free of charge, of course.
Press 23 if it is Christmas Eve or Easter morning and you want me to deliver an eight week old puppy to your house by 6:30 am before your kids wake up.
Press 24 if you have bought your children a duckling, chick, or baby bunny for Easter and it is now Christmas and no longer cute.
Press 25 if you want us to take your female dog who has already had ten litters, but we can’t spay her because she is pregnant again and it is against your religion.
Press 26 if you’re lying to make one of our younger volunteers feel bad and take your personal pet off your hands.
Press 27 if you have done “everything” to housebreak your dog and have had no success but you don’t want to crate the dog because it is cruel.
Press 28 if you didn’t listen to the message asking for an evening phone number and you left your work number when all volunteers are also working and you are angry because no one called you back.
Press 29 if you need a puppy immediately and cannot wait because today is your daughter’s birthday and you forgot when she was born.
Press 30 if your dog’s coat doesn’t match your new furniture and you need a different color or breed.
Press 31 if your new love doesn’t like your dog and you are too stupid to get rid of the new friend (who will dump you in the next month anyway) instead of the dog.
Press 32 if you went through all these ‘options’ and didn’t hear enough. This press will connect you to the sounds of tears being shed by one of our volunteers who is holding a discarded old dog while the vet mercifully frees him from the grief of missing his family.
Author Unknown, but much appreciated!
Please remember that if you can not commit to fur-always or at least the next 13-17 years, DON’T BUY A PET! it is not a shelter or rescue’s obligation to take on your commitments, they do so out of fear that you will kill them if they don’t, and dumping them anywhere, even alone on the side of a road is abuse!

Dayhoff Time Flies: Ocean City - Down the ocean, hon.
Dayhoff Time Flies: Ocean City - Down the ocean, hon.
Sunday, June 30, 2019 by Kevin E. Dayhoff
This year I enjoyed the summer solstice, Friday, June 21, by
doing a 2.25-mile run on the boardwalk in Ocean City. According to the Washington Post, “The summer solstice is
… our longest day and shortest night of the year, and the first day of
astronomical summer in Earth’s Northern Hemisphere… In Washington, the sun
(was) up for 14 hours and 54 minutes on June 21, rising in the northeastern sky
(at) 5:43 a.m. and setting in the northwest at 8:37 p.m. (For perspective,
that’s about 5½ hours more daylight than seen on the winter solstice in
December.)”
I could not think of a better way to spend the longest day
of the year than to spend it in Ocean City “down the ocean, hon.”
Some of my fondest childhood memories include leisurely
vacations on the Chesapeake Bay, explorations throughout the Eastern Shore and
walking on the boardwalk in Ocean City. For some reason French fries, pizza and
ice cream, always taste better when it is mixed with an ocean salt breeze,
walking the boardwalk, while fighting off the seagulls.

Dayhoff Time Flies - Maryland State Police Major (Retired) Krome, 79, of Carroll County
Sunday, June 23, 2019 by Kevin E. Dayhoff
On Monday, June 10, 2019, Maryland State Police Major (Retired) Morris (Moe) L. Krome, 79, of Carroll County, passed away at Carroll Hospice Dove House. Krome was the husband of Carolyn Dudley Krome for 55-years. Together they owned a farm in rural Carroll County where they trained show horses.
Krome was the unofficial Dean Emeritus of Maryland Troopers and considered by many to be an icon of the discipline, professionalism, excellence and intelligence that we have come to know as the Maryland State Police (MSP) since its earliest beginnings in 1921.
For decades Krome held court at a small table at the VFW with his lifelong friend, Special Drug Enforcement Administration, (DEA) Agent (Retired) Tim Clark, the first Monday of every month at the monthly meeting of the Maryland Troopers Association (MTA) Lodge 20.

“First responders, medics carry burden when deaths occur” by Heather Mongilio
“First responders, medics carry burden when deaths occur” by
Jeremy Arias, Heather Mongilio, The Frederick News Post, June 30, 2019
For police officers [fire and police chaplains] and doctors
alike, telling family members a loved one died is part of the job.
[…]
New officers are taught to avoid using euphemisms or phrases
like "your family member is in a better place," or "your loved
one has moved on," preferring instead to use more direct language, while
remaining as sympathetic as possible.
Frederick police send two officers on death notifications,
preferably a male and a female, along with one of several volunteer chaplains
the department rotates between to assist.

Art in the Park – June 1, 2019
I was not able to attend the
annual Art in the Park festival held on the grounds of Westminster City Hall. In
1993 I exhibited at the first Art in the Park and have exhibited a number of
times in the past, but this year I volunteered to help with the horses at the
annual Equestrian Special Olympics.
By all reports, this year’s
Art in the park went well – and was well-attended. This year, according to a
May 29, 2019 article by Cat Righter in the Carroll County Times - Susan
Williamson, the visual arts coordinator with the Carroll County Arts Council,
said that about 58 artists participated. Read the full story here: https://www.carrollcountytimes.com/entertainment/cc-en-art-park-20190528-story.html

Westminster Fire Department thanks Weis Markets for the water and the Gatorade
In the summertime firefighters and EMS providers go through
a lot of water and Gatorade. It is not a luxury.
Westminster Md. June 6, 2019 - - The men and women of the
Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 would like to thank Weis Markets for
donating water and Gatorade for the firefighters and EMS providers.
In the summertime firefighters and EMS providers go through a
lot of water and Gatorade. It is not a luxury. When you spend long hours on
automobile accidents, fires, and back-to-back EMS calls, staying hydrated is a critical
life, safety, and welfare issue.
The best time to stay hydrated is yesterday.
According to Westminster Fire Department President Jamie
Petry on Thursday, June 6, 2019, “Weis Markets is collecting water and Gatorade
for WFD. Today we picked up almost 3 pallets of water and 2 grocery carts full
of Gatorade” Petry added that the department really appreciates the support of
the community – and Weis Markets. Thank you.

I’m in the process of ending an 18-year relationship.
Decisions like this are never easy. It’s going to be a major change. The house is going to feel a bit empty. I know I’m going to say or do some things out of habit before remembering. The process will be painful at times, but I’m convinced it’s for the best and everyone will be better off.
Yes, after 18 faithful years as a customer, I’m breaking up with DirecTV. I’m cutting the cord.
This doesn’t make me unique. Some 33 million Americans have left pay-TV behind, eschewing cable or satellite television in favor of streaming services. It is estimated that 6 million customers cut the cord last year and that even more will do so this year.
According to techjury.com, nearly all Americans aged 25-34 access some TV content through the internet and 90 percent of young people say they prefer consuming TV this way than via cable or satellite packages.
This demographic, of course, never knew what it was like to grow up with just three channels.

Heather DeWees, delivered the oath of office
Heather DeWees, the Carroll County Clerk of the Court, delivered the oath of office to incoming Westminster Councilwoman Ann Thomas Gilbert, Kevin Earl Dayhoff, and returning Councilman Greg Pecoraro, at last night's Westminster Mayor and Common Council Biennial Organizational meeting. This, after a wonderfully positive municipal election. We look forward to Jessica Laird, Steven Colella, and Kate Carter, who also ran in the election, staying involved with the city; and the day when they will take a seat at the council table. And a big thanks to Madame Clerk DeWees for going out of her way to be there for us and swear us into office. What a class act. 20May2019

Westminster mayor Joe Dominick praises council candidates
Westminster mayor Joe Dominick praises council candidates
Awesome letter to the editor by Westminster Mayor Joe Dominick - Carroll County Times May 6, 2019 Letters: Westminster mayor praises council candidates https://www.carrollcountytimes.com/opinion/letters/cc-op-letters-050619-story.html
You’ve started seeing campaign signs, direct mail, and Facebook posts asking for your vote come Tuesday, May 14. An election for three seats on the City of Westminster’s Common Council is upon us.
Between elections, the residents in the City of Westminster rely on myself and the Council to make decisions on their behalf. It is a great responsibility that we are honored to have. Every two years the residents of the City have the great responsibility to vote for half of their representatives.
Jessica Laird works in business development at one of the largest institutions here in the city. She brings a new energy to the City and will be a strong supporter of public safety and Main Street initiatives.
Steven Colella also brings a new energy to the City. All of his professional experience has been in municipal government and economic development. Public safety and downtown initiatives would be his main focus.
Kevin Dayhoff is a former Mayor and Councilman. He is a very kind and caring man. I haven’t met anyone who loves the City of Westminster more than Mr. Dayhoff. If you ever want to hear a detailed history of the City, just ask him.
Councilman Gregory Pecoraro is currently a Councilman and is seeking re-election. He has served multiple terms and brings a lot of experience to the current elected body. Councilman Pecoraro is a good man. I’ve worked well with him on issues — when we agree and when we don’t.
I’ve known Kate Carter for a couple of years. She is a technology professional with a lot of good ideas. Between her professional experience and interest in downtown, Kate brings a lot to the table. Kate’s father was a business professor at Western Maryland/McDaniel College. He was the best teacher I’ve ever had.
Ann Thomas Gilbert has been one of the main people moving the Veteran’s Independence Project forward. She has devoted her professional life to social services. Running for Council is one more way she wants to help her community.
Disagreement is good in government, but politics doesn’t have to be negative. These six individuals have decided to step up to help preserve what’s good in the City and move the rest forward.
I am confident that the City of Westminster will be in good hands come May 14. Please vote for those who you want in office.
Mayor Joe Dominick

According to its website, “VOCAL is an inclusive grassroots group in Carroll County, Maryland advocating for ethical and just principles, policies, and officials in local government…” The community owes a debt of gratitude to VOCAL for all its work on behalf of the community.

Be sure to let us know if you are coming to “Koffee with Kevin.”
Be sure to let us know if you are coming to “Koffee with Kevin.”
May 3, 2019 by Kevin Dayhoff, kevindayhoff@gmail.com
Sherri and I are trying to figure out how much food to order for “Koffee with Kevin” on Saturday evening at Birdie’s Café on May 4th, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. for light refreshments and conversation. Let us know if you are coming so that Sherri can make arrangements to have enough food available. We are looking forward to see you. For more information please see: https://www.facebook.com/events/294279461495454/ and please sign-in, if you have not already done so. THX
Keep in mind that there are no plans for a program, speeches or any mindless political drivel. Look upon it as an art opening without the artist talk.
Several of the other candidates have been invited. I like all of them – they are our community leaders. Everyone gets a participation trophy in this election. After the top three take their turn at the council table chances are the other three will continue to play a leadership role in the community. We hope.
Westminster has some tough challenges ahead and this is a good opportunity to get together and toss around a few ideas. There will be plenty of Birdie’s great coffee and light refreshments available. Many folks have asked for a get together to talk about the election. This is your chance.
It was suggested that we consult with our Ouija board about how many folks are coming. Earlier I had asked my Ouija board if Tupac is really dead or just ignoring my texts like usual? I mean, while he was alive, he created five studio albums – but he really did release five albums after he died in 1996.
However my board is still angry since I asked it, “Describe the history of the sociological, economic, psychological, and physiological progress of humankind in relationship to ethnomusicology and religious structure, from its origins to the present day; concentrating especially, but not exclusively, on its social, political, economic, religious, and philosophical impact on Europe, Asia, America, and Africa. Be brief, concise, and specific. It should rhyme, and be iambic pentameter. Do it in one paragraph; use semi-colons if needed.”
The planchette circled the board wildly and spelled-out "electric arc light." Well, according to multiple media accounts, in 1895, five-years after Charles Kennard, Helen Peters, “and several other investors started the Kennard Novelty Company to manufacture the [Ouija] board as a toy,” the big election issue was “electric lighting for the city,” according to historian Jay Graybeal.
Graybeal explained in research he documented in the late 1990s, “…through a vote of the citizenry, the use of street lighting by electric arc lamps was preferred. That is, the overwhelming majority of the 'Electric' ticket over the 'Gas' Ticket brought electric lights to our streets. To follow the press and certain actions on the part of our city fathers, it would indicate that Westminster took on new life immediately…”
So let’s celebrate the idea of Westminster taking on a new life after the election.
There is no charge for this event. For those who have asked – if you would like to make a contribution to help defray the costs of the event – speak with Sherri directly. I just want to concentrate on having a great event and I want to concentrate on the election campaign.
