Inaugural gay pride event planned for Westminster on July 7th, 2018
Westminster, Md. June 4, 2018 - - After months of meetings
and preparations, a group of Carroll County citizens have formed to develop
plans to hold an inaugural gay pride event, The Westminster Pride Festival, in
Westminster. The newly formed Westminster Pride Planning Committee is a
consortium of civic, business, nonprofit, and church leaders who have joined
together with community leaders and members of the LGBTQ+ community and their
allies.
The planned event, The Westminster Pride Festival is
believed to be the first of its kind in our community. It will take place on
July 7, 2018 from noon to 5 p.m. in the 200 block of East Main Street, between
Church and Court Streets. Permits for the event have been issued from the City
of Westminster.
All
proceeds from The Westminster Pride Festival will be donated to the Westminster
Pride Festival Fund, which is a fund of the Community Foundation of Carroll
County. The fund is the very first LGBTQ+ fund at the Community Foundation with
a specific focus on the LGBTQ+ community.
According to information from the planning committee, The
Westminster Pride Festival seeks to raise the visibility of the LGBTQ+
community in Westminster and Carroll County. “It is time we showed our pride in
our community,” said Jason Garber, who along with his husband Lance Garber have
been planning this event with a core group of dedicated volunteers.
“We have made Westminster and Carroll County our home,” said
Garber, a McDaniel graduate and former president of McDaniel chapter of Allies.
“My husband and I enjoy living in this very close knit and accepting community,
and we want to celebrate Pride Month with all the friends, family and allies we
have.”
‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month’ - LGBT
Pride Month is currently celebrated annually in the month of June to honor the
1969 Stonewall Inn civil unrest in New York City, otherwise known as the
“Stonewall Riots,” that took place following a police raid on the Stonewall
Inn, a gay bar at 43 Christopher Street, in Manhattan. In subsequent years,
marches, parades, festivals, and events have been scheduled in the spring to
shed additional light on the civil rights of the gay and lesbian community.
According to various media accounts, ever since the initial Christopher
Street Liberation Day on June 28, 1970 marked the first anniversary of the
Stonewall riots, the participants have encountered very little resistance from
onlookers.
This year, in Carroll County, it was decided by the
organizing committee that in order to be respectful of other Pride events that
are taking place in Baltimore, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Frederick, MD,
The Westminster Pride Festival wanted to kick off its inaugural year with no
calendar conflicts. “People do generally celebrate pride with more than one festival,
especially on the east coast where it is easy to make it to various pride parades
and festivals.” said Garber.
Founding sponsors of The Westminster Pride Festival include
Random House Penguin, MerMaids, and Birdie’s Café. The committee is made up of
over twenty volunteers, who have dedicated many hours to ensure the success of
this event.
The mission of the Westminster Pride Festival, according to
the planning committee, is to assure the success of a yearly festival that includes
information, support, music, art, food and overall acceptance and solidarity
within the LGBTQ+ community, their allies and the Carroll County community.
According to the planning committee, The Westminster Pride
Festival looks forward to creating a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community to
express and affirm themselves, increase visibility and foster respect for those
who want to express their own sexual and gender identity.
“We endeavor to make this a yearly event that will
ultimately lead to scholarships for the education of LGBTQ+ students,” said
Sherri Hosfeld-Joseph, owner of Birdie’s Café and founding member of the
Westminster Pride Festival. “This is something our community is clearly longing
for… We look forward to an outpouring of support from our community in support
of our LGBTQ+ friends, family members and loved ones.”
Vendors will include local restaurants including Maggie’s,
Bud’s at Silver Run, The Food Chick, Starry Night Bakery and many others.
Entertainment will be provided by local bands, Henry and the
Big Sleazy, The Flying Faders, Brinjal Band, The Dune Flowers, Faceplant and DJ
powerline.
Information on healthcare, counseling services, and
resources for the LGBTQ+ community and their allies will be available as well.
Families are encouraged to attend with children to enjoy
food, games, activities and a day full of information and affirmation.
Merchandise commemorating the inaugural event will be for sale on the planning
committee’s website as well as the day of the festival.
For more information on how
to become a vendor or sponsor, email the planning committee at westminsterpridefest@gmail.com, or visit the website at www.westminsterpride.org or go to the Westminster Pride Festival Facebook page at @westminsterpridefest. Visit the site to obtain

Carroll County Food Sundays nutrition efforts including the Veggie Voucher
Program.
Thanks and come hungry and bring your friends!
BTW, Carroll County Food Sunday I will be at the Downtown
Westminster Farmers Market 8:30 to noon on Saturday 7-7-18 and can register you
there.
According to its website, Carroll County Food Sunday “distributes
a weekly, nutritionally balanced grocery package that is predicated on
household size and is meant to last 3-4 days. It includes meat, eggs, fruits,
vegetables, breads, and milk. Over 400 families a week are served at our
Westminster, Eldersburg, and Taneytown locations.
In an email interview, Frank Baylor, a past president of
Food Sunday said that Food Sunday “started around 1982 from the trunk of Mr.
Jollie's car and has grown to the point where 8,000 lbs. of food are
distributed each week. 250 to 400 families are aided each week…”
“For the sake of human decency, feeding the poor and the
hungry people of Carroll County must be a concern for all of us who are not
hungry,” wrote Jollie, according to the Food Sunday website. “To know
hunger exists and to do nothing is the shame and bane of human life.” Jollie
encouraged the religious community to collect food at their Sunday services for
distribution through a county wide food bank network that was appropriately
incorporated as “Food Sunday.”
The operating budget for CCFS is “supported by community
fund-raisers and direct mail solicitation of county residents. We are grateful
for the churches, individuals, school groups, and service organizations that
raise donations independently on our behalf, and for the local grocers that
donate baked goods. Carroll County Government provides donated warehouse space
in Westminster and utilities….
“Food drives and food donations are also very important in
helping us maintain a reliable inventory of nutritional items year round. We
are constantly purchasing food from a variety of sources based on price and
availability. Our Food Bank Coordinator compares bulk prices at local merchants
with those available from Maryland Food Bank, a large wholesaler in the
Maryland Region. When possible, we take advantage of special deals to stock up
on essential food supplies that can be held in reserve until needed.
Carroll County Food Sunday is governed by a volunteer Board
of Directors comprised of representatives of all sectors of the community. Its
daily operations are managed by two part-time employees – Dennis Fahey, Food
Bank Administrator and Ed Leister, Executive Director.

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in Westminster
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in Westminster
July 4th, 2018.
Just to shake things up a bit, Caroline, Grammy, and I had
Popeyes carry-out for dinner on the 4th of July. The place was very
busy. Staff was very nice. We enjoyed our dinner. We will go back. There are
several things I want to try on the menu. Caroline and I enjoy southern cooking
– especially Louisiana – Cajun cooking.
I cannot remember the last time I went to Popeyes. Years
ago, when I was in office, then-Hampstead Mayor Haven Shoemaker used to have
our executive strategy sessions at Popeyes 3694 in Westminster at the
intersection of Rte 140 and Rte 97 – 624 Baltimore Blvd. 410-857-7550.
Although Popeyes has occupied the building for a long time,
many years ago, it was the location of a savings and loan called Vermont
Federal. Before then it was a service and gas station. I do not recall the name
of the gas station.
The other night, Caroline and I were visiting with friends Charles L Dorm Jr and
Emily
Willis-Dorm and he was reminiscing that there was a fire there a number of
years ago that has to be one of the coldest fires the Westminster Fire Company
ever fought. Along with the fire at the Shipley House at the corner of Main and
Center Street. Caroline’s Dad always told stories about the fire at Hahn’s
Grocery Store at the corner of Bishop Street and East Main Street. Apparently
that was a cold fire also. I also think that former Westminster Police Chief
Dean Brewer also recalls the fire at the location of Vermont Federal.
Happy 4th

A Massachusetts woman begs people not to call an ambulance for fear of high hospital costs
KED - What the article
does not mention is that in part, one of the drivers for the precipitous
increase in the cost of a ride to the emergency room is “ambulance abuse.”
Folks who call an ambulance for unnecessary reasons. These are the folks who
have a headache, a running nose or stub their toe and they are calling an
ambulance. At the station we call them the “frequent fliers.” More often than
not – “frequent fliers” do not pay their ambulance bills – read: the station
goes uncompensated for the call; and these folks call a lot. So, who pays for
ambulance abuse – we do. All of us do.
Woman begging people not to call ambulance gains national
attention
BY ARIS FOLLEY - 07/03/18 03:20 PM EDT
A Massachusetts woman is drawing attention for begging
people not to call an ambulance for fear of high hospital costs after she was
injured in a subway accident.
Video of the woman from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority Police (MBTA) Police Department went viral over the weekend. It shows
her in apparent agony after her leg was caught in a gap between a train and the
platform on Friday.
The 45-year-old woman, whose name has not been released,
asked fellow passengers who came to her aid to not call the ambulance. “Do you
know how much an ambulance costs?” the injured woman asked one passenger.
The story first picked up traction on Twitter when a Boston
Globe reporter posted about the incident after witnessing the aftermath of the
accident on Friday.

2nd Annual Carroll County Public Schools Cultural Expo
Winters Mill High School, 560 Gorsuch Road, Westminster, Md.
21157
9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., Friday. August 24, 2018
CCPS Employees register through the Professional Development
Portal: https://ccpsportal.ccps.wan/professionaldev/class/1954
Non-CCPS Employees register by emailing Cindy Patterson at capatte@carrollk12.org
At our June 28, 2018 monthly Carroll County NAACP meeting
member Terry Whye asked to have a flyer on the 2nd Annual Carroll County Public
Schools Cultural Expo distributed to the membership.
I asked at the meeting if this was a continuation of the Carroll
County Public Schools annual National Inclusive Schools Week program in which I
participated. Find an article about that program, “Westminster Eagle: 4th
Annual National Inclusive Schools Week”, here: https://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2004/12/westminster-eagle-4th-annual-national.html
Terry said that the Cultural Expo was a different event.
In a recent email Terry reported that she asked Pamela A.
Mesta, the CCPS Supervisor of ESOL/Nonpublic Liaison, for more information and
that Ms. Mesta said that specific event is just in its second year.
Terry also reports that the predecessor was an annual event
just for school teachers. Now, it is an event that is open to the public. You
can register using the info at the bottom of the poster. No costs, no sign ups
for the various presentations. First come, first seated until maximum capacity
is reached for each room. We do not have to stay at our tables the whole time
unless we want to. They encourage everyone enjoy the stage entertainment and
programs.
Find an article about last year’s event here: “Inaugural
CCPS Culture Expo uses music, conversations to celebrate diversity,” by Emily
Chappell here: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/education/cc-ccps-culture-expo-20170817-story.html
On Wed., June 13, 2018 member Erin Snell, Carroll County
Public Library Outreach Services, distributed an email to Carroll Citizens for
Racial Equality friends, in which she reported “the 2nd Annual Culture Expo
which will be held at Winters Mill High School again this year. Please consider
attending this engaging event. This event is organized and hosted by the
Carroll County Public School system. The public is invited to attend. Please
see the registration information at the bottom of the flyer. Look for the
Carroll Citizens for Racial Equality booth at the event! We hope to see you
there!”

June 26th, 2018 Voting today in Westminster, Md.
By Kevin Dayhoff
Update: June 26, 2018 Primary election results:
2:45 p.m. Tuesday 26Je2018 - I just got back from the Westminster Elementary School polling place. The turnout has been light – but that polling place is usually really busy in the evening when folks are coming home from work…. We were in and out quickly. Well, after saying hi to my neighbors and friends. There is a time-honored tradition that voting in Westminster is a community get together.
I interacted with all the campaign workers – whether I support their particular candidate or not. I had no negative experiences. Which I guess is good. I always have my cell phone camera and reporter’s notebook at the ready – but everyone was friendly and polite – and I applaud all of them for participating.
I am always impressed with the election judges. They were very friendly, professional, capable, and competent. It is a long day and I thank them for their service. (I was a chief judge for 10-years – a long time ago, in the 1990s.)
Voting gives me goosebumps. We cannot take our right to vote for granted. I served in the Marines and have had good friends die defending that right. And I worked in the civil rights movement in the early 1970s. We simply cannot take our right to vote for granted.
“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” ~ John Q. Adams.

I attended as many of the events todays as possible. The first commemoration was mentioned today several times. I have fond memories of the first event. And I miss Tom LeGore, one of the great historians of Corbit’s Charge, Civil War, Westminster, and Carroll County history. Mr. LeGore passed away last year. His passing left many of us sad.

Brief Summary of the Event, according to the Pipe Creek Civil War Round Table website: https://pipecreekcivilwarroundtable.weebly.com/corbits-charge-encampment.html June 23, 2018
Each year during the last weekend in June, the Pipe Creek Civil War Round Table (PCCWRT) and other historical groups commemorate the tragedy of war that took place on Westminster’s streets and within surrounding Carroll County, MD. The annual event exhibits a great experience for visitors of all ages by providing children’s activities, concerts, military demonstrations, vignette skits, skirmishes between the armies, and presentations by living historians. Traditional artisans, such as blacksmiths and tinsmiths, will be present at the event. There are also guided tours of Westminster detailing the historic landmarks of the city and battle. Authors, local historic societies, and historic artifacts will be featured inside the Emerald Hill house.
The paramount activity will be a memorial service on Saturday June 23rd located at the Corbit’s Charge Monument at 200 Willis St. which recognizes the sacrifice of the Civil War era civilians of Westminster as well as the soldiers of both the Union and Confederate Armies. This memorial service concludes at the graveyard of Westminster’s Ascension Episcopal Church located at 23 N. Court St. with the laying of two wreaths on the graves of 2 Civil War Veterans: 1st Lt. John Murray, Co. E 4th Virginia Cavalry (Confederate, killed during Corbit’s Charge) and Samuel Butler Co. C 32nd Inf. U.S.C.T. (Union)
So, please join the Pipe Creek Civil War Roundtable and fellow historical groups in attendance at the 155th Anniversary Corbit's Charge Encampment to honor and commemorate the Civil War history in Carroll County, MD.
155th Anniversary of Corbit’s Charge Civil War Encampment
I attended as many of the events todays as possible. The first commemoration was mentioned today several times. I have fond memories of the first event. And I miss Tom LeGore, one of the great historians of Corbit’s Charge, Civil War, Westminster, and Carroll County history. Mr. LeGore passed away last year. His passing left many of us sad.
