Our prayers go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of Brenda Barber.

April 30, 2017

Our prayers go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of Brenda Barber this morning. Caroline and I awakened to the unbelievable horrible heartbreaking news that our dear friend and colleague, Brenda died in the traffic accident over in New Windsor last night.

Her untimely death is a huge loss to the Sam's Creek 4-H Club, the Carroll County agriculture and the 4-H community. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to her husband Rick.

Although the agriculture community is blessed with many great leaders; wise leadership of the caliber of Rick and Brenda is increasingly rare and the loss of Brenda is a terrible blow to the greater Carroll County community. Brenda is held in very high regard in the Ag community. The Carroll agriculture community is a tight, close-knit community; this morning we all feel a dreadful sense of loss. She touched so many lives.

Let us pray: O god of grace and glory, we remember before you today our sister Brenda.

We thank you for giving her to us to know and to love as a companion in our pilgrimage on earth and our service to our community. 

In your boundless compassion, console us who still mourn. 

Give us faith to see that death has been swallowed up in the victory of our Lord, so that we may live in confidence and hope until, by your call, we are gathered to our heavenly home in the company of all your saints; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

“We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord, so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” (Romans 14:7-8)

Amen

According to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office report: “On 04/29/17, at approximately 1621hours, Carroll County Emergency Communications dispatched a two vehicle personal injury collision on New Windsor Rd in the 1400 Block, New Windsor, MD 21776. 

Sheriff Deputies along with Fire/Rescue personnel from the New Windsor and Mount Airy Fire Departments responded. 

Upon deputies arrival, they observed a gray Ford Focus resting on the eastbound grassy shoulder facing west with heavy front end damage.

Resting in the westbound grassy shoulder was a red Toyota Tundra facing south with heavy front end damage. 

Preliminary investigation revealed the Ford Focus was traveling eastbound on New Windsor Rd failed to drive right of center crossing over the double yellow lane divider into the westbound travel lane at a high rate of speed striking the Toyota head on who was traveling westbound. 

The Ford and Toyota were each occupied by the driver only. The driver of the Ford a 32 year old male was pronounced deceased at the scene by New Windsor Fire personnel. The driver of the Toyota a 57 year old female was transported to Carroll Hospital Center where she was pronounced deceased

Our May 9th, 2017 Westminster municipal elections and this day in history March 30, 1999.

Our May 9th, 2017 Westminster municipal elections and this day in history March 30, 1999.


April 4, 2017 Westminster Md. - This morning, I was reading through the letters to the editor in the Carroll County Times about the current Westminster municipal elections. – And it brought back memories….

Many folks have asked if I am ever going to run for office again. And the answer is sorta-kinda-maybe. Not right now. Among many reasons, as soon as I declare my candidacy for office, I immediately lose my job with the newspaper. Think about it. In what other profession do you lose your job the very instant you declare your candidacy? And I love my job.

Many folks have asked my opinion about the upcoming elections. Because I work for the newspaper, I really cannot say much. However, I think that I can say, that it is time to let some other folks have a turn – or let some other ideas into the Westminster council chambers.

I mean, I actually like all of Westminster’s elected officials. I guess I can say that? I mean, I like everybody. Westminster officials work hard and for the most part, I think they are well-intended.

But the history and tradition of holding office in Westminster is one of letting everyone take their turn. And, at the moment, it just does not seem that other ideas are really welcome in city government these days. I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong. And growing-up in Westminster, there was essentially – if not absolutely - no politics.

I had a great talk with an official with another municipality recently and he lamented how Westminster elected officials spend a great deal of time on politics that has nothing to do with the day-to-day life of Westminster citizens. He said this in the context in that, in his municipality, there is still, to this day, essentially no politics.

Now before you send me angry emails, he said it – I did not say a word. As a matter of fact, he acknowledged that I have to remain silent because I work for the paper, but I will say that I have heard it said by many folks outside of Westminster…

Municipal elections are extremely important to your day-to-day quality of life. I am often amused with folks who get so worked-up over national politics – and state politics, for that matter. As for national politics, candidly, you and I standing over the back fence discussing the issues, or engaged in a Facebook discussion, have little impact on the development of national public policies. Arguably some impact – but really – we have little say. Makes me sad to say that. I have certainly written my fair share of letters to elected officials in Washington. But that was before gerrymandering. These days, the folks that represent us in Washington, do not know where Carroll County is located on the map – and do not care. (Although they all have great staffers. Just saying.) In days gone by, we routinely had opportunities to meet with our elected representatives in Congress. Remember when they would routinely visit the post office?

(Anyway, just so you know - I hate Facebook arguments and routinely delete argumentative comments, just saying.)

Yes, we have a little more influence in Maryland State politics, although, it often appears that Annapolis exists in another country.

On my website, the other day, I found a few items, from the 1999 elections, for my “This Day in History” series…. Yes, I was so young, and naive. But I still have many really good memories. [Anyway - This Day in History: March 30, 1999 Kevin Dayhoff for Westminster Common Council http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2017/03/this-day-in-history-march-30-1999-kevin.html]

I was amused that almost 20-years ago, many of the same issues today, were a matter of interest in the 1999 election. When I filled-out my candidate profile and questionnaire, among the “Main issues I will address during my campaign,” included:

1. Pro Economic Development - Continued Revitalization of Downtown Westminster, and how it was (is) important to attract and develop more jobs in Westminster.

2. Support Westminster Police Department

3. Support Westminster Fire Department

4. Pursue improving our road system

5. Continued support of the City’s recreation program – community events – that bring folks to downtown Westminster.

I loved being an elected official for Westminster. I loved working with the Westminster employees – and Westminster citizens. It seems that the best kept secret in Maryland and the mid-Atlantic region, is that Westminster has the best municipal employees around. They are well-trained, professional, personally invested, and most of all, they really-really care about Westminster.

And, of course, being the product of many generations of elected officials, and being an historian and a writer, I really enjoyed the development of public policy initiative. For much of Westminster’s municipal history, it was known to be on the cutting edge of municipal public policy and governance.

On this day in the Westminster municipal elections, March 30, 1999, I finished, and turned-in, my Carroll County Times questionnaire and candidate profile, and sent in an ad to the paper…

Henry Neale Bair, 78, of Westminster, died on Wednesday, March 29, 2017



Henry Neale Bair, 78, of Westminster, died on Wednesday, March 29, 2017

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bair family at this difficult time.

Henry was really neat people. Many years ago, I did some landscaping for him. He was a wonderful customer and I really enjoyed his company and friendship. He will be missed. I’m very sad to hear of his death.

I understand the emptiness that overshadows siblings when death comes and grief lingers. Yet, death cannot separate you from a lifetime of love and shared memories. These gifts remain as God's loving touches of His grace.

May God keep open the "eyes of your heart" to remind you of his constant presence to comfort and guide you, to love and keep you, and grant you overcoming peace. In Loving memory

For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Romans 13 v4

Obituary for Henry Neale Bair

Henry Neale Bair, 78, of Westminster, died on Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at University of Maryland Medical Center following complications from a fall.

Born in Baltimore on November 8, 1938 and raised in Westminster, he was the son of the late Scott Slaybaugh Bair, Sr. and Anita Bankard Bair.

He was a 1957 graduate of Westminster High School and briefly attended the University of Baltimore prior to entering the U.S. Navy. Following discharge from the Navy, he worked for Black & Decker Mfg. Company in Hampstead and Finch Services in Westminster. In 1966 he changed his career path and joined his family’s real estate investment firm, Development Company of America, founded by his father in 1954, and he worked there for eight years as a leasing representative and project manager. Upon leaving DCA he then worked for his brother Emerson in his real estate investment business for a number of years before retiring.

He enjoyed fine American-made automobiles such as Buick and Cadillac sedans, GMC pickup trucks, good country cooking, Maryland seafood, and spending time with family and friends.

He loved Carroll County and never desired to live anywhere else. Beginning in his youth and reinforced by his years of employment with Finch Services, he had a great affinity and respect for the Carroll County farming community and the farmers who worked the land. In his high school years after school and during summer vacation he worked on several farms in the Westminster area and for Henry Hook, an Oliver Farm Equipment dealer.

He loved animals, particularly cats, and over the years cared for numerous house cats and many stray cats who found their way to his door. He always enjoyed the change of seasons and observing the wildlife which populated the woods surrounding his house, especially the Canadian geese which year after year came to his pond to make their nests and raise their young. Many generations of the original pair of geese would be welcomed back and fed by Henry.

He was a member of Grace Lutheran Church. He was a former member of Reese & Community Volunteer Fire Department.

Over the years he was a generous supporter of many national charities and local institutions such as Carroll Hospital Center. Henry was also a caring friend to many people and was always willing to help someone in need.

He is survived by brothers Emerson F. Bair and Glenn S. Bair, and sister Elizabeth Bair Warehime, all of Westminster, sister-in-law Ruth Hering Bair, nieces Priscilla B. Pickett and Jennifer A. Warehime, both of Westminster, and Heather B. Anuszewski of Baltimore, nephews Scott Bair, III of Atlanta, GA, Greg Bair of Little Valley, NY, Glenn Bair, Jr. of Old Lyme, CT, Thomas Bair of Hagerstown, Matthew Bair, Alex Bair, Jeremy Bair and Michael Bair, all of Westminster, numerous great nieces, great nephews and cousins, and special friends Roxanne McCarley, Terry Bare and Walt Washel. He was predeceased by brothers Scott S. Bair, Jr. and Harvey B. Bair, infant nephew John Patrick Scott Warehime, sisters-in-law Joan Matthews Bair and Jane Henry Bair, as well as close friends Edith Green, Mary Barnes and Jay Clutz.

A funeral service will be held at Pritts Funeral Home & Chapel, 412 Washington Rd., Westminster on Saturday, April 8th at 11:00 AM, with Rev. David R. Bare officiating. Interment will be in Westminster Cemetery at the convenience of the family. The family will receive friends on Friday, April 7th from 2:00-4:00 and 7:00-9:00 PM at Pritts Funeral Home & Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to Westminster Fire Engine & Hose Company #1, 28 John Street, Westminster, MD 21157, Carroll Hospital Center, 200 Memorial Avenue, Westminster, MD 21157, or Grace Lutheran Church, 21 Carroll Street, Westminster, MD 21157.
