Councilman LeRoy Hand 410-751-1100 lhand@taneytown.org I grew up in a military family, with most of my school-aged years in Virginia Beach, close to Norfolk Naval Base. After attending undergraduate school in central VA, I came to MD and decided to commit to the education field, earning an MA from Hopkins. Integrity is of the uppermost importance to me. Heraclitus speaks to this when he stated, “Day by day, what you do is who you become.” I believe we need to talk and listen much more than we do now; we need to get out of our silos and endeavor to see the full human picture, not just perseverate on the opinions of a few. Thinking, problem solving, knowledge acquisition, and cooperation have permitted the common man and woman to have time to ponder and engage others – let us not squander our opportunities to engage others in a din of ignorance that lacks appropriate and objective research efforts.

I have a passion for understanding others’ views, both historic and contemporary. I enjoy travel and learning about other cultures. To quote Samuel Clemens, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness…” After an outing, I perceive the world as a bit smaller than before, and I see similarities of my wants and those I meet abroad, to live well, do good work and deeds by my family and community, and enjoy the gift of life.
My family and I moved to Taneytown in November of 2002. A third child joined the Hand crew in 2005. My children, now 21, 19, and 16 have grown up in our small community and I often think of Bruce Springsteen’s, My Hometown, when I am out and about with my grown children – this is the town they know and appreciate.

I became involved in Taneytown governance when I began serving on the Board of Zoning Appeals in 2004. I remember Daryl Hale’s generosity in sitting with me in the mid-2000s and discussing Taneytown history, growth, and citizen issues of concern. I have also supported Parks and Recreation as a volunteer for events such as our annual Fishing Derby.

Volunteering has always been a part of my life, whether assisting with Kennedy Krieger’s Festival of Trees in Baltimore, assisting with charitable food events, or planting (reforestation) efforts in multiple counties. Together, we make a better world.

Westminster Fallfest September 22-25, 2022

Westminster Fallfest started in 1978 to promote awareness of the renewal of the downtown shopping district. The dates for this year’s Westminster Fallfest are Sept. 22-25, 2022.

Kevin Dayhoff: It’s fall and time for community events in Westminster, Carroll County Sep 23, 2022 at 9:00 am 

This year in Carroll County, fall began at 8:03 p.m. on Sept. 22. Scientifically it’s the autumnal equinox, the time when the sun shines directly on the equator, and the southern and northern hemispheres receive the same amount of sunlight. After the 22nd, the northern hemisphere began to tilt away from the sun.

[…]

For those of us who love summer, the first day of fall can only mean that winter will soon be upon us. Others look upon the fall season with excitement. Indeed, in Carroll County fall brings about a cornucopia of community events. Fall is for apples, pumpkins, sweaters, fuzzy socks, and colorful leaves.

Let’s look at three of the events on the calendar for fall. The 43rd annual Westminster Fallfest will be held from Sept. 22-25 at the Westminster playground at 11 Longwell Ave. On Sept. 24, the Miss Carroll County Scholarship Competition will take place at Westminster High School. The start of October will be celebrated at Oktoberfest at the Carroll County Agricultural Center on Oct. 1 and 2.

Westminster Fallfest started in 1978 to promote awareness of the renewal of the downtown shopping district. The dates for this year’s Westminster Fallfest are Sept. 22-25, 2022.

According to information provided by the City of Westminster, this year’s Fallfest charity partners are, Crossroads Church, Catholic Charities Head Start & Early Learning, Westminster Municipal Band, and Together We Own It. “Selected partners will assist with planning ... complete tasks delegated by organizers, provide and coordinate volunteers to manage and staff several activities during the four-day festival, and attend mandatory monthly meetings. In return, each partner receives a portion of the proceeds generated from the event to benefit their organization.

“Fallfest is a four-day community event with fun for everyone! The festival is [composed] of rides, games, food, entertainment, and on Saturday and Sunday only, an assortment of craft, commercial, and nonprofit vendors. Hundreds of volunteers from local organizations and area schools help staff this event.”

Send Me - Jenn Johnson feat. Chris Quilala

“Send Me” was the ‘Song of the Day’ in the contemporary service at Grace Lutheran Church on Sunday, February 6, 2022. It is certainly one of my favorites. Especially since I always associate it with one of my favorite Bible passages – and a favorite of many first responders: Isaiah 6 verses 1-8, especially verse 8: Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

"Send Me" Jenn Johnson feat. Chris Quilala. Premiered Sep 28, 2021. "Send Me" was written by Brandon Lake, Jenn Johnson, and Kari Jobe Carnes.

VERSE 1

If it’s bandaging the broken

Or washing filthy feet

Here I am Lord, send me

If it’s loving one another

Even when we don’t agree

Here I am Lord, send me

VERSE 2

If I’m poor or if I’m wealthy

I’ll serve You just the same

Here I am Lord, send me

On the mountain or the valley

I will choose to praise

Here I am Lord, send me

CHORUS

If I’m known by how I love

Let my life reflect how much I love You

I love You

And before You even ask

Oh my answer will be yes

‘Cause I love You

Oh I love You

VERSE 3

If the truth cuts like an arrow

I will say it anyway

‘Cause here I am Lord, send me

If it’s means that they’ll reject me

Lord I will still obey

‘Cause here I am Lord, send me

VERSE 4

When I’m standing in Your glory

I’ll be glad I chose to say

Here I am Lord, send me

Well done good and faithful

I live to hear You say

Here I am Lord, send me

TAG

Here I am Lord, send me

Here I am Lord, send me

SPONTANEOUS

Oh how I love You

With everything

With all my dreams, all my hopes

How I love You

You can have it all, You can have it all

You can have it all

What I have I give You God

Be it unto me according to Your word
