Baltimore Sun Carroll Explore Carroll Eagle Archive: Big Baker Chapel hangs as an ornament of Westminster history By Kevin E. Dayhoff, November 24, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1125-20121124,0,5911926.story

Recently the General Federation of Women's Clubs' Woman's Club of Westminster unveiled Big Baker Chapel as its ninth holiday ornament for the Christmas season.

The ornament sale is a fundraiser for the club, which for the last 101 years has provided community service and support. According to the club, "The sales from these ornaments enable our Club to help serve the needs in our community including the arts, conservation, education, home life, international outreach and public issues."

In past years, the Woman's Club has paid tribute to McDaniel College's (Little) Baker Chapel and Ward Memorial Arch, Westminster City Hall and the Carroll County Courthouse.

Other buildings recognized by the club include the Westminster Armory, the bell and clock tower that sits atop the old Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 1 fire hall, the Old Stone Building on Liberty Street and the Shellman house on the campus of the Historical Society of Carroll County… Read more: http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1125-20121124,0,5911926.story

Eagle Archive: Recalling when a Bull Moose 'Teddy' charged through Westminster

In this 1912 photo by Philip Myers, former President Teddy Roosevelt delivers a campaign speech from the front of the American Sentinel newspaper office in Westminster. (Historical photo by Philip Myers / November 17, 2012)

By Kevin E. Dayhoff November 17, 2012

Presidential election politics are over for 2012 (well, sort of), but we can still recall local history related to our nation's chief executives. For instance, the Nov. 15, 1964, edition of the Baltimore Sun's Sunday Magazine carried a story by Philip Myers with the headline, "I Remember … Theodore Roosevelt in Westminster."

[…]

In 1912, Myers was a freshman at then-Western Maryland College — now McDaniel — and one of his hobbies was photography…. http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1118-20121114,0,4694880.story

Remembering the most wonderful time of year for 'Stanta' Claus

Remembering the most wonderful time of year for 'Stanta' Claus

Remembering the most wonderful time of year for 'Stanta' Claus By Kevin Dayhoff, November 20, 2012 Planning for Christmas in Westminster is almost as much a cherished tradition as the holiday itself… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-remembering-stan-1118-20121119,0,4483663.story

But for many, Christmas 2012 will not quite be the same without Stan Ruchlewicz, the City of Westminster's administrator of economic development and Main Street manager, who died of a heart attack on June 5 at age 56.

During the holiday season, Ruchlewicz was a perennial fixture at the Locust Lane Santa House, serving as "Stanta" Claus to the delight of children and parents alike.

But he was also a driving force behind many of the events that make up the annual Miracle on Main Street activities in Westminster: the parade, the tree lighting and other special events that bring people, businesses and organizations together… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-remembering-stan-1118-20121119,0,4483663.story

By Kevin Dayhoff, November 6, 2012

It was almost anti-climactic at the polls in Westminster on Tuesday afternoon.

After a year of robo-calls, tons of campaign literature, debates and nonstop news coverage, election day came to Carroll County — and the turnout was heavy and steady.

Just after 4 p.m., as temperatures dropped, there were plenty of hardy campaign workers at the polls at Westminster Elementary School. Joy Fisher and Erin Snell and Jennifer and Molly Harvilak were busy greeting voters and handing out literature in support of Question 6, the Civil Marriage Protection Act.

"Been here since the morning — and we're cold," Fisher said in between shivers… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-election-day-1106-20121106,0,1592306.story

Area artists paint the town during book signing

BOONSBORO, Md.— 

Area artists set up easels and painted in the cold morning air Saturday as throngs of best-selling author Nora Roberts’ fans lined up for a noon book signing.

Promotions bill Roberts’ “Inn BoonsBoro” trilogy as being “inspired by the inn (she) owns and the town she loves.” The inn referenced is the boutique-style bed-and-breakfast hotel of the same name as the trilogy on the square in Boonsboro. Roberts updated the property in 2008 with a $3 million renovation. ... http://www.herald-mail.com/news/hm-area-artists-paint-the-town-during-book-signing-20121103%2C0%2C2685631.story
