Westminster Patch: 'Carroll Counts' Extends Voting Period until Sept. 30


Carroll County residents now have until September 30 to vote in a friendly donation competition meant to raise funds for local nonprofits.


The Community Foundation of Carroll County has extended the voting period for the Carroll Counts campaign to September 30, 2012.

Carroll Counts is a capital campaign with a twist. All proceeds will benefit the Community Foundation of Carroll County and the inaugural projects. Carroll County residents are invited to support the community projects with votes and dollars until September 30, 2012.

Which project(s) do you want to support?

Response to the Carroll County campaign has been strong, with over 1000 votes and dollars going to the seven non-profit projects in the friendly donation competition, according to a news release.

Currently, Winters Mill High School leads the vote with their project, an effort to raise money to purchase scoreboards for baseball, softball and field hockey. Not far behind is Carroll County Food Sunday's Outreach to the Hungry, whose fundraising effort will support bringing nutritionally balanced weekly supply of food to needy families and individuals.

Calgon, Take Me Away...To Giulianova Groceria



A perfect idea for MNO - eat delicious food, hang out with friends, and add a recipe to your repertoire while you're at it.

Bill Schroeder took over Giulianova's, http://www.brothersun.biz/index.html, 11 East Main St., in 2003, with a promise to continue offering the community the finest quality Italian goods. In addition to offering an Italian grocery and prepared foods such as subs, Bill also teaches cooking classes. But these aren't your traditional cooking classes…http://westminster.patch.com/articles/calgon-take-me-awayto-giulianova-groceria?ncid=M255

City of Westminster Getting Creative in Battle with Snow

City of Westminster Getting Creative in Battle with Snow By Kym Byrnes

Westminster's city employees to pilot a new liquid salt treatment during snow storms. By Kym Byrnes  http://westminster.patch.com/articles/city-of-westminster-getting-creative-in-battle-with-snow?ncid=M255


In an effort to decrease costs and increase efficiency, the City of Westminster is battling snow and freezing accumulation with a new liquid salt treatment.

Briefly discussed at Monday’s Common Council Meeting, Department of Public Works Director Jeffrey Glass explained that the liquid treatment is already being used by the state of Maryland and in other states as well.

Glass explained that the the traditional salt granules, spread by salt trucks during storms, often scatter off the roadway, ending up on shoulders and in gutters, which is both wasteful and bad for the environment.

Glass said there are several benefits to the liquid salt solution, one being that the liquid treatment stays on the road. Additionally, the roads can be pre-treated with the liquid solution, up to 48 hours before accumulation begins, which could reduce worker hours once a storm has started.

“If we can treat in advance, it could prevent that initial adhesion to the road surface,” Glass added.
