Jennifer Mellor has been a resident of Emmitsburg in the Silo Hill community since 2000.  She is currently a member of the parks committee and has previously participated in the citizen’s advisory committee.  She and her family have been active in the community as supporters of the community trail, participants in the baseball/softball programs, and assistants in maintaining the community gardens.

Ms. Mellor has extensive experience with municipal government obtained by her work with the City of Westminster’s Recreation and Parks Department.  In 1998 she was hired as a seasonal pool manager, which resulted in permanent full-time employment as a recreation attendant.  Over the years she moved up the ranks to become the Assistant Director of Recreation.

Her responsibilities included the planning and implementation of a variety of special events and children’s programs, supervision of employees and volunteers, management and oversight of parks and facilities as well as assistance with the development of the departmental budget and its daily operating expenses.  She participated in the safety and downtown marketing committees and also chaired the website committee.

Ms. Mellor also served as a member of the Westminster Fallfest Board of Directors where she chaired the entertainment, parade, vendors, and marketing committees.  She was the event chair in 2010.  She has worked with countless numbers of volunteers to include service learning students, service clubs, and nonprofit organizations.

She received the Maryland Municipal Employee of the Year award from the Maryland Municipal League in 2010.  Ms. Mellor completed Leadership Carroll in 2012 and the Maryland Municipal League Academy for Excellence in Local Governance in 2011. She enrolled in the Recreation Parks and Tourism program at CCBC in 2006 and received an A.A.S. in 2010.

She is currently employed with Playground Specialists, Inc. in Thurmont as the marketing manager and provides general office/sales support.

Ms. Mellor is blissfully married to husband Bob, 13 years, and has two children.  Her daughter Sidnee is 16 and is a senior at Catoctin High School, and her son RJ is 12 and is a 7th grader at Thurmont Middle School.  She spends her free time gardening, bicycling, and enjoying time with her family.

She hopes to increase communication that will result in the participation and utilization of current resources and activities to foster a greater sense of community.

Area artists paint the town during book signing

Area artists paint the town during book signing


Area artists set up easels and painted in the cold morning air Saturday as throngs of best-selling author Nora Roberts’ fans lined up for a noon book signing.

Promotions bill Roberts’ “Inn BoonsBoro” trilogy as being “inspired by the inn (she) owns and the town she loves.” The inn referenced is the boutique-style bed-and-breakfast hotel of the same name as the trilogy on the square in Boonsboro. Roberts updated the property in 2008 with a $3 million renovation. ... http://www.herald-mail.com/news/hm-area-artists-paint-the-town-during-book-signing-20121103%2C0%2C2685631.story

Final Frederick County comprehensive plan hearing draws large crowd – Frederick News-Post



Frederick County saved the biggest group for last Tuesday night, with more than 40 lawyers and residents speaking at a public hearing about the county's proposed comprehensive plan and zoning review.

The public hearing regarding the New Market region was the last scheduled meeting before the Board of County Commissioners begins its review of individual requests for planning and zoning changes. Written comments will continue to be accepted throughout the process.

There are 42 applications up for consideration in the region that includes Mount Airy, New Market and Lake Linganore. If approved, it could lead to the construction of hundreds of homes on 3,600 acres.

"We are concerned with any properties within a mile of our borders," Mount Airy Mayor Patrick Rockinberg said. "Rezoning these properties would be inconsistent with the will of the people."

Building on properties near the town would lead to housing growth that negatively affects roads, schools and the general standard of living, he said.

"(Our residents) came to escape growth," Rockinberg said. "The citizens did not move to Mount Airy for more growth, they moved away from it."

More than a dozen residents stood when resident Sarah Dorrance spoke against the Wimmer property -- an 86-acre property along Sidney Road.

She questioned the motive of the commissioners to revisit the last comprehensive plan a year after it was approved. The plan adopted in 2010 was designed to set planning and zoning guidelines for the county. In most cases, properties went from being zoned for residential or commercial growth to agricultural.

"I'm not happy with the procedure," Dorrance said. "I think it's a waste of taxpayers' money." … http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display_comments.htm?StoryID=131242#postComments

Jennifer Mellor honored at MML conference

Jennifer Mellor honored at MML conference

Posted: Tuesday, August 3, 2010 by Brett Lake, Advocate Staff Writer


Jennifer Mellor has served as the program director for the City of Westminster’s recreation and activities department since March of 2006.

http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2010/08/jennifer-mellor-honored-at-mml.html

Heading up and organizing many of the city’s favorite community events, Mellor said she takes pride in serving the people of the community in which she grew up in.

On June 29, Mellor was awarded the Roland B. Sweitzer Municipal Employee of the Year Award by the Maryland Municipal League in Ocean City.

Q: According to the Maryland Municipal League, the Employee of the Year Award is intended to recognize high standards of professionalism in service to a municipality and outstanding performance over and above required duty for a single event or program; or for an extended period of time. Why did you fit the bill?

A: Well I was nominated by Marge Wolf, our city administrator. I guess the thing that made me stand out was the fact that when we had the blizzards, I came in and helped with snow removal. I helped the public works department. I started out with a shovel, and then I said ‘I got to do better than this,’ and then they gave me a leaf blower and I used that for a little while. Then I got the confidence to run a snow blower, so I kind of graduated up. Next winter they’re going to teach me how to run the snow plow.

Anyway with that I do special events, I do the Flower and Jazz Festival, I’m the organizer for that event. I also organize the Month of Sunday’s summer concert series, and I’m the event chair for Westminster Fallfest. And in between that I have lots of children’s programs — programs that bring families together. We do four mother/son, daddy/daughter dates — two each. One in the spring and one in the fall. We also do a father/son golf tournament. We do Santa’s Treat, which is connected with the holiday parade and the tree lighting ceremony. And summer camp, I have 11 weeks of summer camp programs that I supervise. I also have a hand in helping with the pool a little bit because I started out with the City of Westminster as the pool manager.

Q: Sounds like a lot, where do you find all of the time?

A: Well I like to be busy. I like to be challenged, I’m not one to sit around and twiddle my thumbs. I like action; I’m a high-action gal.

Q: What does it mean to you to earn this award for the City of Westminster?

A: Well for me, Westminster is my hometown. I was born in Carroll Hospital Center. I went to Westminster Elementary, to East Middle and Westminster High. And I grew up on Main Street in Westminster, so I spent many summer’s in City Park playing on the playground equipment and playing stickball on the basketball court. So I grew up here, and I take great pride in being able to serve the citizens of this community and bringing them events and activities that they can enjoy. I’m just so fortunate. I guess I love what I do and I love where I do it.

Q: You said you started out as the pool manager, how’d you get to your current position?

A: Yep I was a seasonal pool manager. I went through my first summer, and then a position opened up; a permanent, full-time position with benefits down in the fitness center. So I applied for that and got the job and was a floor attendant. I did basic workout programs, gave tours and basically cleaned the floors and cleaned, cleaned and cleaned.  While I was in fitness center as the floor attendant I still went out in the summer and worked at the swimming pool for two more summers. And then I was promoted to co-manager of the fitness center and was told that I could no longer do the swimming pool. After working in the fitness center for a few years the program assistant for special events came open, there was a vacancy, and I applied for that and got the position. A year later the program director position became open and I applied and slid into that position. So the only position left is the director’s position, and I hope to have that one day.

Q: So what’s next for Jennifer Mellor?

A: I’m also a part-time student. In 2006 I enrolled at CCBC in the Recreation Parks and Tourism program. So I have one more semester to go and I’ll have my associate degree, and I hope to move on and get my bachelor’s degree either in Recreation Parks and Tourism or in Business Management.

Honestly, after I get my bachelor’s degree I would like to get involved in, and run for a commissioner’s seat in my hometown now, which is Emmitsburg, and be the parks and recreation liaison. Hopefully in the future I’ll run for mayor of Emmitsburg.

Happy Days Are Here Again?
Chris Cavey
Tuesday evening I joined the Republican faithful gathered in Frederick at The Green Turtle to watch election results. While they were cheering the victory of Randy McClement, mayor-elect of Frederick City, I couldn’t help but think that perhaps the political pendulum crossed the apex and was now swinging the other way. Their way.

Looking Back Going Forward
Michael Kurtianyk
The results are in, and the voters have chosen Randy McClement over Jason Judd in the City of Frederick election. Before getting into the specifics, Congratulations are due both candidates for running a strong, civil race. Despite pressures from others, both men campaigned without slinging mud. Let’s hope the county races next year are run with the same decorum and respect.

Pulling the Plug on Maryland
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Word spread quickly through Maryland early Monday evening that the Black and Decker Manufacturing Company is “merging” with The Stanley Works. Black and Decker employees were notified by email at 4:30 P.M. of the $4.5 billion all-stock acquisition of the venerable old Maryland manufacturer.

Tom Goes Spark’in
Tom McLaughlin
Kuching, Malaysia – Being a relatively healthy male, I enjoy the company of women and learning the dating customs has been a challenge. Wandering around in my mid 50’s, yet thinking I am in my 20’s, I have met and carefully enjoyed many platonic associations.

Pushkin between the Polls
Roy Meachum
On this voting day in the city, I can almost envy Pushkin; the boy Pointer will sail through the whole democratic process unaffected. He might be inconvenienced by accompanying me to the basement of Evangelical Lutheran Church on East Church Street. Although his shank is long and his beard grizzled, he always finds admirers. No sweat.

Voting My Conscience
Steven R. Berryman
The City of Frederick elections are now upon us, so it’s time to get your voting strategy together. Those stuck at simply “voting the party line,” will be at a distinct disadvantage in our municipal election tomorrow.

On the Mayoral Race in Frederick…
Michael Kurtianyk
What an extremely cordial, civil race for mayor of the City of Frederick. This is a great breath of fresh air from the race four years ago.

Attack Politics
Roy Meachum
You may have missed the latest survey: a majority of Americans said they no longer have confidence in where their country is headed. As usual sixty-five percent disapprove of the performance by Congress. At the same time, the president’s personal rating held steady at 56 per cent – in the Wall Street Journal/NBC paid-for measurement of the national mood.

How Does Your City Grow?
Joe Charlebois
Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your city grow? Paraphrasing the old nursery rhyme gets to the point of what the future of Frederick County and its municipalities will face as it continues to grow. The quintessential issue – we as citizens of the city and/or county need to address – is how we will define growth over the next 20 to 30 thirty years.

Limbaugh, Freedom and The NFL
Derek Shackelford
Several weeks ago talk show host Rush Limbaugh garnered national headlines with his participation in an ownership group attempting to purchase the National Football League’s St. Louis Rams. Mr. Limbaugh was not going to be the majority owner just a partner in the ownership group.

Government Principles/City Elections
Patricia A. Kelly
“The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and that Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December….” U.S. Constitution. Don’t we wish!

How much is a TRILLION?
Bill Brosius
Kinda rolls nicely off the tongue, doesn’t it? Don’t know about you but I have been having a tough time getting my head around a trillion, let alone 10 trillion; much less 40 trillion. One trillion is 1,000,000,000,000. Put a dollar sign in front and you’re talking about unreal money.

Halloween and The Snallygaster
Kevin E. Dayhoff
This Saturday is Halloween and taking break from local and national politics could not come a moment too soon.

Surprises of a 26-Hour Trip
Tom McLaughlin
Doha, Qatar – What happens if you are a small country and have billions and billions of dollars located on top of the largest gas field in the world? Building the largest most modern commercial airline on the planet is one goal.

REVIEW: Dr. Jekyll and Four Mr. Hydes
Roy Meachum
You read the column’s head right. The Maryland Ensemble Theatre is retelling Robert Louis Stevenson classic story in playwright Jeffrey Hatcher’s version; no longer is a case of schizophrenia limited to a single individual. Mr. Hatcher took “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and spread the latter’s evil among four actors, including a woman, Karen Paone.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Then There Are Five
Roy Meachum
Let me confess up front that I have been to no candidate forums and was fed stories that proved no more than flimsy rumors. This does not make me unusual in the community. What sets me apart from two-thirds of my fellow registered voters? I plan to hike over to the Evangelical Lutheran polling place next Tuesday.

Sanity: The Key to Self-Esteem
Nick Diaz
In my last article on developing sound math study habits, I referred to “procrastination” as ‘the thief of time.” I concluded that the issue of procrastination by students is not a simple one. Procrastination is a defense mechanism that protects students’ self-esteem.

4th of July at the Shamrock Restaurant


4th of July at the Shamrock Restaurant

July 4, 2009

For the 4th of July my family and I went to the Shamrock Restaurant off Rte 15 in Thurmont, Frederick County, MD, for a delightful meal.

On an entire wall of the restaurant there was an American flag displayed. If I am not mistaken, it was identified as being 20 foot by 38 foot large.
