"The economy, jobs creation, and unemployment continue to be in the national and state news these days.
Locally, the business and economic climate has changed in the last few years. To be certain, change has been a constant dynamic in the local economy since the beginnings of our county in the 1700s.
The one thing that has remained the same in spite of all the changes, is that agriculture continues to be a major industry in Carroll.
But one agricultural product many younger readers may not be familiar with that has not withstood the test of time is an ancient medicine known for its distinctive, unpleasant smell — wormseed."

According to the website for the Le Tour de France
(Letour.com), the final, 21st stage of this year's 101st edition of the famed
European bicycle race will take place on July 27. For the riders, it will mark
the end of a journey of 3,664 kilometers, from England to Paris by way of much
of France that began on July 5.
Did you know that a number of celebrated bicycle races took
place in Carroll County, years before the Tour de France began in 1903?
In Carroll County in the late 1890s, bicycle races, tours
and clubs were quite the rage.
Cathy Baty, curator for the Historical Society of Carroll
County, reported in a July 28, 2013 program, "Old Roots, New Roots,"
on WTTR, that "The first machine that we would recognize as a bicycle was
developed in 1865.

Architectural Competition Held to Rebuild Königsberg City Center - SPIEGEL ONLINE By Susanne Beyer in Kaliningrad, Russia
Architectural Competition Held to Rebuild Königsberg City Center - SPIEGEL ONLINE: By Susanne Beyer in Kaliningrad, Russia
http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/architectural-competition-held-to-rebuild-koenigsberg-city-center-a-980260.html#ref=nl-international
The Allies bombed the Prussian city of Königsberg into the ground in 1944. Residents of what is today the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, a desolate Soviet landscape, are considering rebuilding the city center to reflect some of its historical German architecture.
"The architectural bureau looks pretty much like any other in Europe -- computer drawings hang on the walls, attractive young women concentrate as they stare into oversized monitors. Even the head of the office is wearing outsize glasses.
What's different here, though, are the odd place names featured in the plans. Rather than being in Russian as one would expect, they include German names such as Altstadt, or Old Town, Löbenicht, Kneipfhof.
These were the names of the city center districts in the city of Königsberg in the former East Prussia, but Königsberg was wiped from the map at the end of World War II, 70 years ago. The city had a grand history as the coronation site for Prussian kings.
It was famous for its university, where philosopher Immanuel Kant once taught. In 1724, the year of Kant's birth, the cities of Altstadt, Löbenicht and Kneiphof joined together to form the city of Königsberg. With its brick, Renaissance and baroque buildings, with a medieval castle on the Pregel River, with its Brick Gothic cathedral and its proximity to the Baltic Sea, it was one of Germany's most beautiful cities.
During the final days of August 1944, 360 aircraft with the Royal Air Force flew across the sea heading for Königsberg. They dropped hundreds of tons of highly explosive and incendiary bombs. The city continued to burn for days."

Recreation in Westminster always a hot topic during summer [Column]

The City of Westminster and Carroll County's Department of Recreation and Parks have joined the National Recreation and Parks Association in celebrating National Recreation and Parks Month.
According to NRPA.org, the theme for this year's month-long celebration is "OUT is IN."
On April 7, 1922, the Democratic Advocate published an editorial about "Westminster and the recreation problem."
"Our fathers did not have recreational centers. Why should we have them now? Our fathers did not have telephones, automobiles, electric lights, rural free delivery of mails, and many other conveniences which we now enjoy. Shall we dispense with them because they were unknown to the previous generation?
"We cannot do business as our fathers did. Can we take our recreation as they did? In the early days work and play were combined. The men of a community would gather for 'clearing the new ground,' 'log rollings,' 'barn raisings.' 'harvesting parties' 'husking bees,' and the like.
"At the same time the women had their 'quilting parties' and did the cooking for the community feast. In the evening there were the community plays. Those days are gone never to return." ....
