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

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.

Town of Manchester

Town of Manchester: http://manchestermd.gov/


Rich in history and popular with transplants, Manchester is a small town in northeast Carroll County where old and new collide. It is located on the bustling MD Route 30 – a trucking and commuter route connecting Hanover, Pennsylvania and Baltimore County, Maryland.

With its tidy housing developments-and several more new neighborhoods on the way-this town is part suburb. But with its quaint small downtown and lack of fast-food restaurants, Manchester retains its small-town atmosphere.

Manchester began (circa 1760) as a harmonious blend of English and German cultures, indicated today by the English name of the town and by old tombstones in the cemetery inscribed in German. It developed an atmosphere of local pride and cooperation still evident in the neatness of the streets, homes and yards, and in many cooperative enterprises such as the volunteer Fire Company, “Christmas Tree Park”, “Charlotte’s Quest Nature Center”, a community swimming pool, and strong churches. 


A Lutheran church was erected in Manchester in 1760 as the first place to worship in Carroll County. That church’s direct descendent is Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, founded in 1862 and located on Church St. A large white oak, older than the church, stands beside it and is considered the town symbol and town tree. Manchester’s existence has always been closely related to the agriculture of the district. Growth of tobacco in the area years ago led to the development of an extensive cigar manufacturing business (now gone). 

A bank, an insurance company, and several service stores, all locally inspired, have catered to rural needs. More recently, commuters to Hampstead, Hanover,Westminster, and Baltimore have established their homes in the relatively peaceful and neighborly atmosphere of Manchester.

At one time, an iron mine was opened near Melrose (north of Manchester) which was thought to have such potential that a spur railroad was built at the site. However, the ore proved to unprofitable and both rail line and mine have disappeared. There was even an iron foundry in Manchester in the early days.


During the Gettysburg campaign of the Civil War, Manchester saw much activity among Union forces. Thousands of troops camped in and near the town.

American Sentinel, August 10, 1895 Murder in Manchester District

American Sentinel, August 10, 1895

Murder in Manchester District - A brief account of a horrible murder, committed in Manchester district, came to us by telephone yesterday morning.

The victim of the tragedy was a man named Jacob Miller, a comparative stranger in Manchester. Miller had been working in that place and neighborhood for a week or more.

He was a quiet, well behaved and apparently an industrious man. Towards evening of Wednesday afternoon he left Manchester in company with two tramps, going in the direction of Melrose.

During the night persons in the vicinity of a grove near that place heard the noise of fighting in the woods. On Thursday morning the tramps who left Manchester in Miller's company, went into Melrose and reported that the body of a dead man was lying in the woods.

Their story was probably regarded as a fake, and no steps were taken to investigate it, but the report, in some way, reached Manchester and on Thursday night a searching party started out from that place and found Miller's dead body in the woods.

The man had been stabbed in the heart and cut about the face and head. The object of the murder was evidently robbery, as Miller had on his person, when he left Manchester, thirty dollars in money, all of which had disappeared, with other valuables, when the body was found.

An inquest was held, and a verdict rendered that the man was murdered by persons unknown to the jury. The jury was summoned by Justice Strevig.

American Sentinel, August 10, 1895.

December 6, 1973: Birds Leave Manchester But Others May Come - The Carroll Record

Birds Leave Manchester But Others May Come

The Carroll Record, December 6, 1973.

The birds are gone from Manchester's Christmas Tree Park, but nobody is sure for just how long, including the "expert," Nelson F. Swink Jr. of the Wildlife Services Division in Annapolis.

The town turned to Mr. Swink earlier this year for help in getting rid of the hundreds of starlings and blackbirds that had come to the park to roost for the second straight year. "I was just getting ready to come up there when the mayor called and said the birds had left of their own accord," Mr. Swink told The RECORD this week. "That's a big roost," he said, "and I think they will probably be back.

There is a winter roost and a summer roost. I think the birds that just left were the summer roost, migrating south." But he believes the winter roost is on the way. If they do arrive, he is prepared to come to Manchester as promised and bring a variety of noise makers with him which he hopes will make life so miserable for the birds that they will decide to leave.

The Carroll Record, December 6, 1973.

At approximately 8:30 in the evening of March 9, units from the Hampstead and Manchester Volunteer Fire Departments responded to a working house fire at 3250 York Street.

The fire was quickly extinguished and units remained on the scene until almost midnight. The Maryland fire marshals’ office is investigating the incident. Victims of the fire were assisted by the Carroll County office of the American Red Cross.

American Sentinel: Manchester 4th of July, 1897

American Sentinel, July 10, 1897.

Manchester — The glorious 4th was pretty generally observed in our town. The stores were closed and work of all kinds generally suspended, while young America, with toy pistol and fire cracker, made all the noise possible.

A pleasant feature of the morning was a parade of juveniles, with horn and drum, marshalled by Mr. C. Miller. The paper cap and tin sword, with plenty of bunting, made a good display.

Master Ross Shower represented Uncle Sam and Hirst Handley the Goddess of Liberty, both with good effect.

A family picnic, in the afternoon, in Miller's woods, north of town, was indulged in by 59 persons and a general good time enjoyed by all.

At night the street was ablaze for quite a time with rockets, wheels and numerous other explosives, which were enjoyed by the crowds, while the Junior Band discoursed some good music in their open air concert.
