Crawford Captures Burk 5K

On a delightful Saturday morning--when far too many were either recovering from the night before, running cross-country races somewhere else, or prepping for longer races, David Crawford cruised to a narrow win in the second annual Burk Memorial 5K run, held on and around Tahoma Farm Road west of Westminster.

The race is named for candy store owner, runner, and club sponsor Terry Burk, who was killed nine years ago last August when hit by a car which veered off Route 97 onto the shoulder at the entry to Kalten Acres.

Prizes for this year's run were gift certificates to the Treat Shop--his former business, located in the mall across from the movies. The current owner contributed a portion of the cost of the prizes.

The race was originally meant to be conducted along the walking, hiking, biking, running trail which was to be constructed on a line parallel to Route 31 and proceeding from Uniontown Road to the Old New Windsor Pike, a distance of some 3 to 4 miles.

According to Kevin Dayhoff, Westminster mayor and WRRC member, the process of obtaining the necessary land and construction permits has been about as much fun as root canal work without a painkiller.

Thus with only a small portion of the trail, to have been named for Terry Burk, finished, this race involves running an out-and-back portion on Tahoma Farm Road, followed by two loops around a neighborhood, using the completed portion of the Burk Trail as part of the loop.

The field of 14 sprightly runners charged up Tahoma Farm Road, and by the time they returned to begin the first portion of the Burk Trail, Crawford--who works for the Department of Defense at Fort Myer, located near the Pentagon--was locked in a tight race with Tom Yinger, much younger and more local.

At the end of the first trail loop and at the finish line Crawford had a small but definite lead and won by six seconds.

At age 54 he equaled the age of Joe Loveland as the oldest runner ever to have won a club race. Since Crawford missed the awards ceremony because he was out riding his racing bike, there is no way of telling whether he is older than Loveland was when Loveland won for the second time at age 54. Since there is no easy way of determining the oldest winner, Joe agreed to retain the title.

Joe finished third after running most of the way with Chrissy Pennington, who finished as the second female in the 5K run held at the Carroll Hospital Center on September 25, the day before she ran and finished in the female top ten at the Bachman Valley Half-Marathon.

Trailing Chrissy by three and a half minutes was Treasurer-for-Life Liuda Galinaitis, who outkicked Chris Reese for second place.

As is usually the case in club races, the majority of the field, 11 of 14, were in the masters (40 and over category). As a measure of changing times, however, this race involved 7 runners in the 50-59 category, as well as the recently turned 60 Skip Fennell.

The next club race will be the Otterdale Mill 5 Mile Run--to be held on Sunday, October 24. The starting line is near the corner of Trevanion Road and Stonesifer Road, west of Crouse Ford in Taneytown. For more information contact Dan Replogle at 410-756-1654.

20020102 Wster Mayor Wishes Club Well in 2002

Westminster Mayor Wishes Club Well in 2002

Westminster Road Runners Club

http://ccpl.carr.org/~wrrc/news_MayorWishesClubWell.htm

by Kevin Spradlin January 2^nd, 2002

WESTMINSTER, Jan. 02 -- City of Westminster Mayor Kevin E. Dayhoff expressed his condolences for missing some of the recent Westminster Road Runners Club races, but promised he and his wife, Caroline, will be on the running scene soon.

"I guess one might say that I am taking a break from running that is not quite of my choosing," wrote a very busy Mayor on Tuesday in an email to the club. "It has just happened. I'm not necessarily happy about this turn of events -- but it is what it is and I'm going to make like a ball and roll with it."

Many remember the Mayor making an appearance last July at the Bell Road 5K/10K race. He was on hand to congratulate long-time club member Bob Leatherman for his participation in his 100th consecutive Twilight Series road race. Mayor Dayoff also volunteered at a water aid station at the Sullivan Road Four-Miler in August. Since then, however, the Mayor has rarely been seen.

"I've taken breaks from running and college before and managed to get back into the groove at a later time," said Mayor Dayhoff, who is close to earning his Bachelor's Degree in Public Policy Administration and Analysis from Western Maryland College. "I guess my attitude is that being the Mayor is something that has a four-year cycle and that this is no rehearsal - I must do it well now. I feel a lot of responsibility."

"My first love is running," he said. "Caroline and I always look forward to the WRRC events, even if we don't run in them and just help out in any way that we can contribute. I'm quite out of shape and to try and run a race these days would not be responsible. I'll run again and I will get my degree."

In the meantime, WRRC members and Westminster residents will just have to deal with the fact that their mayor is busy with various projects, including running-related issues.

"I'm working hard on such things as the Terry Burk Trail - which is happening," said Mayor Dayhoff, "and the Westminster [Main Street] Mile run and being the Mayor."

20011215 Terry Burk/Wakefield Valley Trail - New bridge to safety

New bridge to safety

Carroll County Times

By: Megen Wessel, Times Staff Writer

December 15, 2001

Span over stream all but completes middle portion of pedestrian trail

Through the early Friday morning rain, workers dressed in bright yellow raincoats and boots the color of mud installed two 55-foot sections of a steel walking bridge over the floodplain of a small stream along Tahoma Farm Road in Westminster.

The bridge is in the middle of the city's portion of the Wakefield Community Trail and nearly completes the first section of the city's first walking and biking trail.

The trail, when finished, will span about three miles from Wakefield Valley to West Main Street, allowing residents to walk or bike safely along Md. 31 and into downtown.

"They obviously can't do that now," said Thomas B. Beyard, director of planning and public works for the city.

The city began planning the trail in 1994, but money and land restraints kept the project from beginning.

The proposed trail was to extend northeast from Old New Windsor Road to Uniontown Road, but the first section of the trail, between Old New Windsor Road and Long Valley Drive, was to be located on property owned by the Avondale Run Homeowner's Association.

Approval to build the trail on the property would have required consent from a majority of the property owners in the association, said Chris Batten, a local land planning and design consultant hired to develop the initial plans for the trail.

So the city decided instead to develop plans for another section of the trail between Long Valley Road and Windsor Drive.

In July, the City Council awarded a $348,000 contract to Thomas Bennett & Hunter Inc. of Westminster for the construction of the 0.8-mile segment of blacktop pathway from Long Valley Road to Tahoma Farm Road.

This phase of the project, which includes widening of a sidewalk on Tahoma Farm Road near the newly installed bridge should be complete by April, Beyard said.

The city is using two federal grants, totaling about $193,000, and city money for the project, Beyard said.

Design work on the remaining portion of the trail, between Tahoma Farm Road and Windsor Drive, will begin this winter and construction is scheduled to begin in the summer.

The trail will be dedicated in memory of Terrence "Terry" Burk, 48, owner of the Treat Shop, his family candy business located in the TownMall of Westminster. Burk was killed while jogging in 1995.

Burk was running with two friends on Route 97 at Kalten Road when a car struck him and fellow jogger David W. Herlocker. Police said the 19-year-old man who was driving the car apparently fell asleep while coming home from work.

Burk's family established a memorial fund in Burk's name to help build the trail.

The Community Foundation of Carroll County sponsored the fund-raising effort, which eventually raised more than $6,000.

Another portion of the trail, from Windsor Drive to Uniontown Road, is already complete and usuable. Developers privately paid for the section, Beyard said.

"This will probably be one of the city's highest priorities behind the Carroll Theater project in the upcoming year," Beyard said.

Westminster mayor and council approve work on Wakefield Valley Terry Burk Trail

Council awards trail work - Construction on path could begin next month with state OK; For walkers, bicyclists

By Maria Blackburn Sun Staff Originally published July 24, 2001

http://www.baltimoresun.com/

Westminster's mayor and Common Council agreed last night to begin work on the city's first walking and biking trail.

The council awarded a $348,000 contract to Thomas Bennett & Hunter Inc. of Westminster for the construction of the first phase of Westminster Community Trail. The 0.8-mile segment of blacktop pathway will extend from Long Valley Road to Tahoma Farm Road on the west end of the city.

Officials hope the path will extend from Wakefield Valley to West Main Street. The trail's total length has not been determined.

Construction could begin in mid-August, after approval from the State Highway Administration.

Mayor Kevin E. Dayhoff said he was eager to see the trail completed and hopes to name it for Terry Burk, a local business owner who was hit by a car and killed in 1995 while jogging on Route 97. … http://www.baltimoresun.com/
