DAYHOFF: In Christmas past, county leaders and community celebrations made the news


Eagle Archive - DAYHOFF: In Christmas past, county leaders and community celebrations made the news, By Kevin Dayhoff shar.es/Xtm5U


"...Paradoxically, at a time when we look forward to spending more time with our families, friends and loved ones, the folks who provide so much to our quality of life are spending more time away from their families than at any other time of the year.

To make matters worse, recently the weather has been frightfully cold; making matters that more unbearable.

"Please keep folks such as firefighters, police officers, teachers and public works personnel in your hearts and your prayers as you enjoy the holiday season."

[...]

It was 40 years ago that one local community leader got his start, and made the news. The now-defunct newspaper, the Community Reporter, carried an article Dec. 11, 1970, noting that "Richard N. Dixon, 32 years of age and the first black to assume a post on the Carroll County School Board, was sworn into office last week."

It’s a book, jackass


“It’s a book, jackass.”


The sentence that got the book It’s A Book banned in two Massachusetts school districts.

The book is about a donkey (AKA a jackass) who learns the value of reading books.

Santa Claus is coming to Westminster on a Westminster fire department fire engine.


Santa Claus is coming to Westminster on a Westminster fire department fire engine.

By Kevin Dayhoff

12/06/2010

In a greatly anticipated holiday treat, courtesy of the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Company No.1, Santa Claus will once again be roaming Westminster area neighborhoods on a fire engine, beginning this coming Monday, December 13.

Santa will be leaving the fire station each evening 6 p.m., December 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th.  A rain date has also been set for December 17.

According to a press release on the Westminster fire department’s website, http://www.westminstervfd.org/, the department will not post a neighborhood schedule this year.  In the past, fires and other emergencies have caused the schedule to be changed too often.

“Just listen for the sirens and you will see jolly ole Saint Nick.  WFD promises that we will make every effort to bring Santa down your street.”

Santa has also been scheduled to visit the fire station for the department’s annual Christmas breakfast.  The breakfast will begin at 6 a.m. and continue throughout the morning on Saturday December 18, 2010.  Santa will arrive at 8 a.m., according to Lt. Josh Evans, a spokesperson in Mr. Claus’ office.

He is scheduled to appear on one of Westminster's antique fire trucks, and “wants to have his picture taken with you,” according to the department’s website.

For more information visit the website or call the station at 410-848-1800.
