Joe Getty sworn-in to Md. Court of Appeals
At the Maryland Statehouse for the investiture of Judge Joe Getty to the Md. Court of Appeals June 27, 2016
Caroline and I at the Maryland Statehouse for the investiture of Judge Joe Getty to the Md. Court of Appeals June 27, 2016 It was really an honor to attend. It was magical to be a part of such an historic event.
David Brinkley, now secretary of the Md. Dept. of Budget and Management, remarked that Getty “represents a high level of collegiality”

Another close colleague of Getty's in the General Assembly, David Brinkley, now secretary of the Md. Dept. of Budget and Management, remarked that Getty "represents a high level of collegiality" and that Getty joins a legacy of political leaders in a state that "is a treasure trove of history… It is rare for someone to serve in both chambers (of the General Assembly,) and the executive branch, and then go on to serve on the bench…"
Md. Gov. Larry Hogan, in his prepared remarks also mentioned that Getty had served in all three branches of government.

Md. Gov. Larry Hogan, in his prepared remarks also mentioned that Getty had served in all three branches of government. He echoed the comments that he made upon the announcement of Getty's appointment June 1, "Joe is a devoted public servant who has spent his entire career and a good portion of his life in service to his community and to our state… His unquestionable integrity, deep legal expertise, and devotion to the people of Maryland make him an excellent fit for the state's highest court. I have complete confidence that he will continue to be a strong advocate for the law and our citizens while serving on the court."
Look for my story tomorrow in the Carroll Co. Times.☆

Friends and family, former and current judges, and members of the General Assembly filled the legislative chambers to witness the pomp and ceremony as Md. Gov. Larry Hogan administered the oath of office for Getty to become the fifth judge from Carroll County to sit on the Md. Court of Appeals since 1867.

This morning in the House of Delegates Chamber in the historic Md. State House, Manchester resident and Carroll Co. native son Joseph M. Getty, Esq., the chief legislative officer for the office of the Md. Gov. was sworn in to represent the 3rd Appellate Judicial Circuit on the state's highest court, the Md. Court of Appeals.
As Getty's extended family looked-on, his wife, Susan Getty, had to hold the large 1772 family Bible with both hands as the oath was administered. Afterwards she received a big kiss from the newly-minted judge; at which time a member of audience pondered with a stage whisper as to whether the kiss was congratulations for holding the Bible up that long or for her husband ascending to the highest judicial post in the state.
Look for my story tomorrow in the Carroll Co. Times.

Westminster City Administrator Resigns
Marge Wolf Leaves a Legacy of Success after nearly Ten Years in Role
Westminster, MD – Marge Wolf, Administrator for the City of Westminster, has tendered her resignation effective July 31, 2016.
Since October 2006, the Baltimore-county native has managed the operations of the City, from Finance and Human Resources to Planning, Housing and Recreation and Parks. During this time, Wolf has transformed the administration of the County’s largest City.
Her accomplishments include:
• A balanced budget, garnering the City the coveted Budget Award from the Government Finance Officers Association for five years running;
• Acquisition of nearly $1 million in grant funding, benefiting nearly every aspect of the City from playgrounds and housing to buildings and community development;
• Oversight of numerous Downtown Westminster façade improvements, including the installation of handicapped ramps for universal access;
• Strong partnerships with local nonprofits, including the Arts Council, Historical Society, Human Services Programs and more;
• Refurbishing of City Hall to restore the building and grounds to its 19th Century grandeur with historical accuracy;
• Celebration of the City’s 250th “Sestercentennial” anniversary;
• Creation of strategic objectives for every department and committee, from housing and marketing to the Historic District and Tree Commission
Prior to her leadership in Westminster, Wolf was the Administrator for the City of Hyattsville and the Borough of Kennett Square and the Deputy Secretary for the Department of Housing & Community Development. “Marge brought a wealth of experience from her previous roles to our City, said Mayor Kevin Utz. “She pioneered this role for us, and she established a standard of excellence that will be hard to follow.”
Wolf will continue to work as Westminster’s City Administrator until July 31.

Pastor Martha Clementson shared a children’s sermon at services at Grace Lutheran Church this morning in Westminster, June 12, 2016.
The gospel message this morning, 2 Samuel 11: 26- 12: 10, 13-15; and Luke 7: 36 – 8:3 appears to have been torn from a tawdry realty talk show. Pastor Martha did a great job of bringing it to life, making sense of it and making it relevant today. She taught us lessons that we can use in the coming weeks and months. And Galatians 2: 15-21, the third gospel lesson at services this morning; glued it all together.
