March 2004 Board of Commissioners begin community discussion session

March 2004 Board of Commissioners begin community discussion session

MEDIA RELEASE: BOARD INITIATES COMMUNITY DISCUSSION

Beginning the month of March, 2004, the Carroll County Board of Commissioners will introduce an additional opportunity for the public to comment on current issues facing Carroll County. In an effort to further enhance their desire to make government more open to the community, the County Commissioners will provide this forum twice a month preceding their scheduled public agenda. The Commissioner Discussion time will begin at 9:30 AM on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month.

The Board encourages all residents to take advantage of this opportunity for public discussion on concerns and issues facing Carroll County. The meetings will be held for 30 minutes in room 300A of the County Office Building. Citizens will be requested to submit their questions in writing regarding their specific concerns. Any questions that are not addressed during this period will be forwarded to the appropriate County staff, and a response will be forwarded in a timely manner.

The first such session will be this coming Tuesday, March 23, 2004, at 9:30 a.m. in Room 300A of the County Office Building. The 30-minute time slot will be re-evaluated for future sessions as participation merits.

A tribute to the passing of 4 great Carroll countians who made a difference: Haddad McDonald Schaeffer Law


A tribute to the passing of 4 Carroll countians

10Mar2019 by Kevin Dayhoff

https://www.facebook.com/kevindayhoff/posts/10215983059342901

Seems that my Sunday article in the Carroll County Times is not online. Makes me sad. The good news is that the paper printed the long version. The story may be accessed in the digital edition – find it here: http://tinyurl.com/4GR8CCians

The year 2019 has hardly begun and already the march of time has not been kind for a number of older, distinguished Carroll countians.

Among the folks who have made a difference in the community, whom we have lost in the first two months of the year are: • Richard Haddad, 77, who died Thursday, January 31, 2019. • David McDonald, 68, a former pharmaceutical representative and owner of Westminster Rare Coins who died Saturday, Feb. 9, 2019. Bobbye Schaeffer, 93, of the Schaeffer Lumber Company family in Westminster, died Friday, February 15, 2019 at Lorien Nursing and Rehab Center in Taneytown. • Dr. Alton Law, 85, of Westminster died Tuesday, February 19, 2019 from complications related to a rare neurological disease.

For now, until the story is posted online – you can read it in the digital edition: http://digitaledition.carrollcountytimes.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=71f79254-b725-40a7-9515-18ad93192e5b&fbclid=IwAR2Ei6OWXOJIr2U4oTbGC_spIxxuEguiDJfKVuORDewEzc64R9sz__AkgV4

Letters From A Better Me: An Open Letter to Carroll County Maryland Sheriff'...

Letters From A Better Me: An Open Letter to Carroll County Maryland Sheriff'...: An Open Letter to Carroll County Maryland Sheriff’s Department: I was watching my friend in Florida go through one of the scariest mo...

An Open Letter to Carroll County Maryland Sheriff's Department

Wow - but this letter does not surprise me. This is what we do in Carroll County. We have the best law enforcement agencies and best fire companies. Hats off to Cpl. Jeremy Holland and Sheriff Jim DeWees.


[…]

“I debated for a second on who to send the e-mail to. I decided to send it directly to Sheriff Jim DeWees. Thinking it would turn out the way the Florida efforts did, I didn’t expect much, especially being I’m not even the parent, I’m just a concerned friend of the family. Within thirty minutes of the e-mail, Cpl. Jeremy Holland contacted me. When my phone rang, I started tearing up the second he said who he was. For the first time I felt like the right people were in my friend’s corner. After our conversation he contacted both my friend and her husband….”
