Tribute to Jim Reter

Tribute to Jim Reter

February 1, 2018

Longstanding Carroll County NAACP member Jim Reter passed away on January 2, 2018. 

For those who are not aware, Jim was one of the first members of the Carroll County NAACP when the branch reformed in May 1999, after an absence from the community since 1993.

Jim was a firefighter, an Army veteran of the Korean War and Delegate Nancy Stocksdale’s brother.

On Jan. 20, 2018, Carroll County NAACP member Larry Helminiak wrote, “Remembering Jim Reter”

When I think of the Republican Party in Carroll County, I think of Jim Reter. I remember going to vote at the polling place and seeing Jim Reter passing out Republican literature. I remember going to Republican dinners and seeing Jim Reter's name on table signs.

In 2002 I became a member of the Carroll County Republican Central Committee. Jim Reter was there.

What I'm saying is that every time I went to anything Republican, Jim Reter was there.

A few years ago my son and I attended an NAACP fundraising dinner and saw that Jim Reter had a table.

Turns out that Jim was an NAACP member, and convinced me to join. I have been a member ever since.

Jim was a great person and a great Republican and will be sorely missed.

Larry Helminiak

Time mag: Monday, Jan. 18, 2010 “Martin Luther King Jr. Day” By Frances Romero

Time mag: Monday, Jan. 18, 2010 “Martin Luther King Jr. Day” By Frances Romero

http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1872501,00.html

See pictures from the life of Coretta Scott King.

See rarely seen Life magazine pictures of the civil rights movement.

See pictures of the last days of Martin Luther King Jr.

"This is not a black holiday; it is a people's holiday," said Coretta Scott King after President Ronald Reagan signed the King Holiday Bill into law on Nov. 2, 1983. But in the complicated history of Martin Luther King, Jr Day, it has only recently been a holiday for all the people, all the time.

Fifteen years earlier, on April 4, 1968, Mrs. King had lost her husband, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to an assassin's bullet. In the months after the death of the civil rights icon, Congressman John Conyers Jr. of Michigan introduced the first legislation seeking to make King's birthday, Jan. 15, a federal holiday. The King Memorial Center in Atlanta was founded around the same time, and it sponsored the first annual observance of King's birthday, in January 1969, almost a decade and a half before it became an official government-sanctioned holiday. Before then, individual states including Illinois, Massachusetts and Connecticut had passed their own bills celebrating the occasion.

The origins of the holiday are mired in racism, politics, and conspiracy. Three years after Conyers introduced preliminary legislation in 1968, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference — which King headed from its inception until his death — presented Congress with a petition signed by more than 3 million people supporting a King holiday. The bill languished in Congress for eight years, unable to gain enough support until President Jimmy Carter, former governor of Georgia and the first Democratic President since Lyndon Johnson, vowed to support a King holiday.

January 10, 2003 - 15-years ago - “Uniontown Road gets facelift” by Jamie Schmidt - Jamie Wagman

January 10, 2003 - 15-years ago - “Uniontown Road gets facelift” by Jamie Schmidt - Jamie Wagman.

“Uniontown Road gets facelift” By Jamie Schmidt, Times Staff Writer, Friday, January 10, 2003

For months, construction workers have been working in Westminster on Uniontown Road, from the intersection of Old New Windsor Road and West Main Street to the intersection of West Main Street and Md. 31.

Thomas B. Beyard, Westminster's director of planning and public works, said that the estimated $1.8 million road repair project was first envisioned 10 years ago.

Back then, the road was without sidewalks, a drainage system, or adequate water lines, he said.

"It had numerous bumps and was too narrow," he said.

"There were no sidewalks - people used to walk in the street. There were utility patches, too. It was in very poor shape."

Finksburg-based Meekins Construction is building retaining walls, sidewalks and a storm drain.

"Because they aren't doing paving work, most [construction] is underground," Beyard said. "It is difficult on the workers during snowfall, but big projects always carry into bad seasons."

Construction began in the late summer and Beyard said he expects the project to end in the early summer.

"People will definitely notice the benefits," he said. "A new water service will improve water for people in that area."

Beyard said that the city dealt with 15 to 20 property owners on this project. Uniontown Road resident Charles Dukehart said he is looking forward to the end of construction. The Dukehart family uses a back alley to get in and out of the neighborhood.

Currently, local traffic is allowed through the street, but normal traffic won't resume until the spring.

"We are trying to keep as much traffic off as possible right now for safety concerns," Beyard said.

NAACP STATEMENT ON ENDORSEMENTS OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES OR PARTIES BALTIMORE, MD – The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and does not endorse candidates or political parties, or engage in direct campaigning.

As the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization, the NAACP actively works with our more than 2,000 branches to inform and encourage civic engagement through voter registration activities and public forums, and actively opposes voter discrimination and other policies that make it more difficult for citizens to cast their ballot.

The NAACP works to educate all political candidates to support policies that improve access to quality education and economic opportunity, criminal justice reform, the environment, healthcare and youth empowerment, with a dedication to removing race-based hatred and discrimination from society.

###

Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest and largest nonpartisan civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities. You can read more about the NAACP’s work and our six “Game Changer” issue areas here. (Feb 11, 2016 http://www.naacp.org/latest/naacp-statement-on-endorsements-of-political-candidates-or-parties/)
