Further evaluation is needed to determine precisely the Hynes family needs at the moment. Friends, neighbors, the first responder and firefighter community, and the American Red Cross has been very helpful with many of their immediate needs.

On Friday evening, May 20, 2016 the home of the family of Hugh and Carla Hynes was destroyed by a tragic accidental fire due to a mechanical failure of their neighbor’s air conditioning unit.

According to the Maryland State Fire Marshall’s office, “Investigators determined a mechanical failure lead to the A/C unit exploding, causing the fire. Both the owner and the neighbor attempted to extinguish the fire with a garden hose to no avail. The fire spread rapidly upwards into the roof of the home causing extensive damage to the home and both adjoining units.”

Over 80 firefighters from Carroll and Baltimore Co, and the Westminster Police Dept. responded with 20 pieces of equipment to a two–alarm fire in the 200 block of Gallatin Court, north of Westminster off Cranberry Rd. The first call came into the county emergency communications center at 9:39. A second alarm was quickly sounded at 9:55.

Several family pets were saved by quick action by the firefighters on the scene of a two – alarm fire late Friday night in Westminster. The cats and dogs were attended to by emergency medical personnel, including vet tech Tanya Andrews who assisted Manchester EMS personnel to provide emergency oxygen to save the life of a family pet cat stricken by smoke inhalation late Friday night

Three families were displaced and two townhouses were destroyed in the blaze, but the fire did not spread farther thanks to the prompt and well-coordinated response by firefighters. Fire was declared under control at 1024 pm, but wrap-up and clean-up operations lasted until approximately 3 am, Sat. morning

For more information or clarifications about this press release contact the Westminster Fire Dept. at 410-848-1800 Ext. 381 and leave a message if necessary or contact Westminster Fire Department Chaplain and PIO Kevin E. Dayhoff at kdayhoff@westminstervfd.org

Sat., May 14, 2016 - Irises - of all the perennial flowers of the spring, irises are one of my favorites. I found this one in the planting area that Lyndi McNulty helps oversee at the parking lot near Harry's Main Street Grille. Irises are one of a number of perennials that I grew when I farmed for a living. It remains one of my favorites in spite of the fact that irises can be a pain to grow in large numbers in a container operation. The flowers are spectacular.

Carroll Co. Library celebrates the 65th anniversary of the opening of Davis Library

Carroll Co. Library celebrates the 65^th anniversary of the opening of Davis Library http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2016/05/carroll-co-library-celebrates-65th.html

For more information on the Davis Library click here: Westminster File Davis Library

Westminster Md. May 1, 2016 Sunday - Sharon Yingling on the left – a member of the Friends of Carroll County Public Library board, Davis Library board member Caroline Babylon in the middle, and Carroll County Public Library board member Joyce Davis Muller on the right, cut a cake at the Westminster branch of the library to help celebrate the 65^th anniversary of the opening of the Davis Library, a predecessor of what we know today as the Carroll County Public Library. Photo by Del. Susan Krebs.

Look for a similar photograph by Carroll County Public Library’s communications specialist Jennifer Boatman on an excellent article about this event by Carroll County Times writer, Michel Elben in the Monday, May 2^nd, edition of the Carroll County Times. Find her article here: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/communities/westminster/ph-cc-davis-library-anniversary-20160501-story.html

Caroline, and I joined many friends, colleagues, and community leaders, and the fantastic staff of the Carroll Co. Public Library for a celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Walter H. Davis’ contributions to our community.

Jennifer Boatman also produced an excellent video in which local folks shared their memories of the Davis Library. The video debuted at the Davis Day ceremonies today, just after lunch as approximately 45 folks braved a spring shower and chilly temperatures to attend the historic downtown Westminster event; one of many recently developed by the Carroll County Public Library.

Many could not agree more with what Del. Susan Krebs said on her Facebook page, “Celebrated Davis Day at the Westminster library, honoring Walter H. Davis who started the first public library in Carroll County in 1951. What a legacy he left to Carroll Countians!”

Thank you Del. Susan Krebs, Mark Krebs, and Commissioners Dennis Frazier, and Stephen Wantz, and Kathy Zepp Wantz, Paul Zimmermann, for always taking the time, often away from your families, in spite of extremely busy schedules; to show - up at our community events.

A big thank you goes out to the staff and board of the Carroll County Public Library for all your hard work on developing so many arts and cultural community and social events for Carroll County; including folks such as Kati Hoffman, Jennifer Boatman, Lisa Picker, Tony Eckard, and Lynn Wheeler.

May 1, 2016 Sunday - Caroline, Grammy, Marian, and I joined many friends, colleagues, and community leaders, and the fantastic staff of the Carroll Co. Public Library for a celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Walter H. Davis' contributions to our community.
Could not agree more with what Del. Susan Krebs said on her Facebook page, "Celebrated Davis Day at the Westminster library, honoring Walter H. Davis who started the first public library in Carroll County in 1951. What a legacy he left to Carroll Countians!"
Thank you Del. Susan Krebs, Mark Krebs, and Commissioners Dennis Frazier, and Stephen Wantz, and Kathy Zepp Wantz, Paul Zimmermann, for always taking the time, often away from your families, in spite of extremely busy schedules; to show - up at our community events.
A big thank you goes out to the staff and board of the Carroll County Public Library for all your hard work on developing so many arts and cultural community and social events for Carroll County; including folks such as Kati Hoffman, Jennifer Boatman, Lisa Picker, and Lynn Wheeler.

“18^th annual Main Street Mile draws field of nearly 300 to downtown Westminster.”

Nearly 300 people, ages 4 to 75, ran down Main Street for the 18th annual Main Street Mile Wednesday night.

Medals and ice cream sundaes piled high with toppings were plentiful. So were red faces, shouts of cheer and calls of ''Your time ... what was your time?"

"When I came down to the finish line, it felt like my feet were burning," said 9-year-old Laura Getty, daughter of Del. Joseph M. Getty. Like many, the Gettys made the mile run a family affair. Madison, 4, the youngest of the participants, crossed the finish line last with her father in a time of 13:23:04. Her sister, Emma, and brothers, Justis, and Nathan Getty, also participated.

Andrew Glaser, a first-grader at Linton Springs Elementary School, took a slow, chat-while you-jog pace. His mother, Laura Fondi, jogged barefoot on the sidewalk beside him.

"These are the only shoes I had," she said, adding that there was little time between work and the Main Street Mile. Her other son, Michael, a fourth-grader at the same school, raced ahead and promised to meet at the finish line.

Main Street Mile is sponsored by the Westminster Road Runners Club. It attracts runners from all over the state because the downhill slope offers an opportunity for record times. "The run went really well. More people pre-registered, we moved registration to the new fire hall, and everything ran smoothly," said Linda Galinaitis, treasurer and a member of the board of directors for WRRC.

Top results of this year's Main Street Mile include:
