Beginning Jan. 1, the Carroll County edition will no longer carry weekly columns about the North, Central and other sections of the county. We're grateful for the contributions of our columnists, and we'll continue to carry stories about community events. Please send notices about meetings, festivals, awards and other community news to The Sun, Carroll County bureau, Westminster Exchange, 15 E. Main St., Westminster, MD 21157; fax, 410-751-7916.
