Why a teacher might chair career

Why a teacher might change their career
By Charles Rachel

A teacher might decide to change his or her career for many reasons. They may want to try new things; they may not think they make enough money. They may be moving to a new location or there may be medical reasons. Whatever the case might be, we should wish them well in the future and hope that people who want to continue teaching do so for as long as they can because our children need to continue learning.

The Green Turtle Arc fund raiser

The Green Turtle Arc fundraiser
By Charles Rachel

The Green Turtle sports bar and grill in Westminster held a fund raiser to benefit the Arc of Carroll County, which helps people with developmental disabilities find just the right type of job fit that matches both their interests and skills. Many members of the Arc staff were guest bar tenders. These guest bar tenders included Kevin Walla, Floyd Westbrook, Alise Wilson and Danett Kowmartin. The fundraiser was a success. We raised $3700 dollars for the Arc. Thank you to the Green Turtle and all who came out to support the Arc of Carroll County.

My perfect vacation

My perfect vacation
By Charles Rachel

My perfect vacation would be if I got to return to Walt Disney world with family and friends. I went there in 1997 with some friends and loved it. It made me feel like an innocent child again. I didn't want to leave. If I could have a vacation, I would like to go back there some day.

How a broken plate would feel.

A plate that is broken would be in lots of pieces and would be sharp. It would also be a useless plate. If this plate were a person it is much the same. A person who is broken might feel unwanted, unneeded or unloved. This is not a good way for anyone to feel. A person who feels this way may want to be left alone to think. The best thing we as friends can do is offer our support and let them know that we are here to help if needed.

How the N.F.L, lockout has affected the Arc

The recent N.F.L. lockout between team owners and players means the Ravens will not be holding their training camp workouts in Westminster this year. This is bad News for local businesses which depend on the boost in money and sales that the Ravens training camp brings to the area. This also means that many Ravens fans in Carroll County such as clients of the Arc Carroll County will not get the opportunity to meet the Ravens players or get their autographs. This has become an annual tradition of the Arc which the clients look forward to each year. We hope the Ravens return to Westminster so this tradition can resume and continue in the future.
