Hampstead defers shoveling requirement
Hampstead Mayor Haven N. Shoemaker, Jr., announced that the Town will defer enforcement of the Town’s sidewalk ordinance until next week. The current law requires property owners to clear sidewalks within 24 hours of the cessation of any snowfall.
“It isn’t realistic to expect everyone will be able to clear their sidewalk right away, particularly in places where our crews have stockpiled snow,” said Shoemaker. “With another snow event on the way, I think we can give people some extra time to dig out.”
“We still encourage people to do what they can,” Shoemaker added. “If you’ve cleared your walk, show some Hampstead spirit and help out your neighbor.”
Hampstead Public Works crews operated equipment nearly nonstop during the near record snowstorm. The Town also brought in equipment and crews from local contractor, C.J. Miller, Inc.
“Our Public Works crews did an outstanding job,” Shoemaker added. “And the extra help from C.J. Miller crews really made a difference.”
On March 10, 2009, Mayor Shoemaker received an award on behalf of the Town from Jon Burrell of Local Insurance Government Trust. During the same evening Mayor Shoemaker presented Daniel Lynch with a proclamation noting his years of service to the Town of Hampstead residents as a mail carrier. Mayor Shoemaker also presented a proclamation to Allison Harmon congratulating her for her State award for community service initiatives and service.

CARROLL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES HONORED FOR EXCELLENCE IN TRAFFIC SAFETY ENFORCEMENT
Maryland Law Enforcement Challenge Recognizes Top Statewide Agencies
State, County and local police agencies from Westminster, Hampstead, Manchester, Carroll County Sheriff, MSP Westminster Barrack, and McDaniel College Campus Safety were honored last week as the top agency in their respective category at the annual Maryland Law Enforcement Challenge recognition ceremony in Baltimore, Maryland. Winning a Law Enforcement Challenge award signifies not only excellence in traffic safety enforcement, but also a commitment to overall public safety. The 2008 campaign featured an emphasis on seat belt, DUI, and aggressive driving enforcement and education activities.
Co-sponsored by the Maryland Chiefs of Police Association, the Maryland Sheriff’s Association and the Maryland Highway Safety Office, the Maryland Law Enforcement Challenge promotes competition among Maryland police agencies, while recognizing and honoring those that excel in traffic safety enforcement.
“More than 600 people are killed every year on Maryland’s roadways,” said Maryland Chiefs of Police Association President Chief Bernadette DiPino. “I want to congratulate the officers of the winning agencies for their commitment to the Maryland Law Enforcement Challenge and the service to their community.”
