The September newsletter for the Literacy Council reports,
“In the U.S., over 40 million adults have low literacy, including 20% of adults
with a high school diploma. The U.S. ranked 21st in numeracy and 16th in
literacy out of 24 countries in a 2013 assessment of adults’ skills.

According to a history of the council provided by Executive
Director Greenholtz:
“The Literacy Council of Carroll County (LCCC) was founded in April, 1979, by Sister Rosalia, the principal of St. John's Catholic School in Westminster, and Kathryn Sieverts, a Lutheran laywoman. The mission of the organization was to promote literacy and to train tutors to teach phonics, reading, speaking, spelling, and math to youth and adults in Carroll County.
“At the time, we were affiliated with Laubach Literacy Action which later merged with ProLiteracy Worldwide, a parent of ProLiteracy America. We primarily began with students who read at or below a fifth-grade level. The LCCC was formed with the policy of working with anyone regardless race, creed, color, or national origin. We
have always assisted those individuals who may be mentally challenged,
physically disabled, and foreign born, those in substance and alcohol abuse
rehabilitation programs and those who are incarcerated by our legal system.
“The first volunteers worked out of St. John's School, Grace Lutheran Church, Carroll County Public Library, and various members' spare rooms and basements. Judy Ritchie was the first Director. Through the generosity of Grace Lutheran Church, the Council moved into its first office. Marian Carr took over as Director and
Student/Tutor Coordinator in 1988. The Council occupied the second floor (a
three-room suite) of a two-story house at 30 Carroll Street in Westminster. In
1994, in need of more space, the Council moved to the second floor of 95
Carroll Street, Westminster.
“In 1995, Marian Carr turned the reins over to Betsy Fowble as Executive Director, followed by Dee Hines in 1997. In October of 2002, Dee Hines received Carroll County's Most Beautiful Person Award. In 2009, after serving the Carroll Community as a volunteer for over 22 years, Dee Hines retired from her position at the
Literacy Council. Carol Sapora took over as Director. Janet Garcia took over as
Executive Director in December 2011. In June of 2014, Brenda Lewis was named as
Executive Director and served until December of 2014 when Samuel Greenholtz was
appointed and continues in that position.
“Volunteer numbers increased substantially between 1997 and 2006, when the Council moved again to its present home in the Carroll Non-Profit Building, 255 Clifton Boulevard. Laubach International and Literacy Learners of America merged during that time to become ProLiteracy Worldwide, the umbrella organization for most literacy organizations.
“In 2015, Brenda Lewis became the President of the Board of Directors. Past presidents of the Board of Directors include Edie Haschert, Barbara Weir, Dorothy Stoltz, Mike Memphis, Terry Toney, and Lou Scharon.
“The Council receives no government funding and operates on donations from the community, and various grants, along with its fundraising programs. There is never a charge for Council services to the student.
“Along with our normal tutoring program, we have embarked on numerous other programs during our existence. In 1994, the LCCC was called upon to work at the Maryland Central Laundry Camp, a Maryland Department of Corrections minimum security prison. We started with 13 men and when the program was terminated we were teaching 31 men to read and write. (The prison was switched to a short-term facility and there was not enough time to tutor the inmates before they moved on.)
We have also run a program at the Carroll County Detention Center for the female population. (The men were tutored under a grant through the Community College of Carroll County.) We run a program for court ordered drug and alcohol students at a
rehabilitation facility in southern Carroll County. We have run tutoring
program at Springfield State Hospital. We have found the demand for training is
changing from the 5th grade level we began at to a focus on Pre-GED training as
well as greater demand for ESOL lessons, citizenship training, and work-related
training requirements. Thus, our program has been upgraded over the years to
reflect these changes. Another of our newer programs is working with the
military veterans. We are aiding in many different elements than we have
normally provided to our students. These same programs are available for all
students
“Our tutors represent a broad range of careers and education. They come from a wide variety of professions and work history. The predominate tutors’ group is made up from the field of education but, we have former executives, administrative workers and others among our teaching staff.
“The Carroll County Public Library has been a tremendous supporter of our efforts. They have contributed in numerous ways and have provided us with direct assistance when called upon. McDaniel College has worked with us on numerous programs that are offered to the public especially in the field of ESL (English as Second Language), primarily through the Palabra to Word Student Organization. As a Partner of the Literacy Council they have provided us with student interns over
the years to work with us on various specialized projects and programs. A
relative new partner has been Carroll Community We work closely with BERC, HRS,
and other county organizations to provide training to their clients. We have
partnerships with the Judy Centers, Carroll County Board of Education, Carroll
County Youth Services Bureau, and HSP. We have an excellent relationship with each and every one of the organizations at the Non-Profit Center. We are able to
refer our students to them as well as have them send clients to us.”

How Journalism is Changing in Today's World NOVEMBER 17,
2019
In today's world journalism has become a risky business.
Newspapers are closing up shop every day in light of the digital age and in
many ways it seems the profession is under attack both figuratively and
literally. Reporters are being gunned down in newsrooms and the public is becoming
more and more suspicious of the profession as the result of the concept of fake
news. Bob Blubaugh is the editor of the Carroll County Times in Maryland and
has been in the journalism field first as a sports reporter and now as an
editor for over 20 years. He is experiencing these concerns firsthand and yet
remains committed to the idea of community journalism and the important role it
continues to play in our lives.
The profession of journalism is in a precarious state these
days as a result of the concept of "fake news," the influence of
social media and the threat to the very existence of print media as a result of
the digital age.
Bob Blubaugh, editor of the Carroll County Times in
Maryland, recently talked with me for my first episode of The Human Condition
with Lisa Gregory. He gives an insider's view of the challenges editors and
reporters are facing, including the very real threats and violence inflicted
upon on them, as well as talking about his love of community journalism and how
important it is now more than ever.
