Tuesday, May 22, 2012

This week, May 20 – May 26, is National EMS Week when emergency medical crews in Carroll County and throughout the country are honored for their work.

To mark the occasion, emergency medical services providers, firefighters, and administrative personnel at the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 gathered for a luncheon Tuesday in the day room of firehouse.

A proclamation by Westminster Mayor Kevin Utz was presented that noted that emergency medical services are a vital public service and that members of the EMS teams “are ready to provide lifesaving care to those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week…”

EMS personnel are often on the front line and are among the first to arrive upon the scene of an accident, medical emergency or natural disaster.

Whether it is an injury as the result of a crime, home or workplace accident, a fire, automobile accident, heart attack, or a natural disaster, EMS personnel arrive in minutes to attend to the sick or injured on site and see to it that the patients are safely transported to the hospital.

EMS Week dates back to when President Gerald Ford first declared November 3 – 10, 1974 National Emergency Medical Services Week. Over the years, the week to recognize the work of EMS personnel moved to various dates in the calendar year before it was settled in 1992 to be the 3rd week in May.

This year’s theme for National EMS Week is “EMS: More Than A Job. A Calling.” To listen to the public safety personnel at the luncheon, it is obvious that putting aside their own personal safety to save the lives of others is a calling – especially for the many EMS providers who volunteer their services for the Westminster fire department or any of the fourteen volunteer departments in Carroll County.

Eagle Archive: Budget and the economy were worries in 1837 ... and still are

Eagle Archive: Budget and the economy were worries in 1837 ... and still are

by Kevin Dayhoff


This is the time of the year when many citizens turn their attention to the budget processes of Carroll County government and its eight municipalities. No matter where you live in Carroll County, money matters.

Statewide, Gov. Martin O'Malley has announced that on Monday, May 14, the General Assembly will get together for a couple of days to raise taxes and enact more laws, rules and regulations. (For more on this read, "Delegation says county stands to lose $1 million in special session," on ExploreCarroll.com.)... http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/opinion-talk/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0513-20120509,0,1799107.story

Baltimore Sun – Sloane Brown: Pictures: What's in Store in Westminster


Pictures: What's in Store in Westminster – Off Track Art


Perhaps it's something in the air. But Westminster seems to be a center of creative expression.

Whether it's something created by a local artist or artisan or a home accent carefully chosen by a local business owner, you're sure to find something here that can bring a little self-expression to your home. -- Sloane Brown

[…]

What's in Store: Off Track Art
(Sloane Brown, Special to The Baltimore Sun / April 26, 2012 )
Two businesses share this artistic space. Walk in the door and on the left, you'll enter Off Track Art, an artists cooperative which currently shows the work of 10 local artists.

On the right is Carousel Stained Glass, with work mostly by owner Roger Lewis, who also teaches locally and shows the work of his students.

From Off Track Art: a 20-inch-x-22-inch mixed media collage displayed in a 6-panel window, titled “Egg Visions” ($250) by Bob Waddell; a 32-inch-30-inch “Reclining Nude” laminated plywood sculpture by Linda Van Hart; and an 18-inch-x-12-inch red and black patchwork small laundry basket ($150) by nationally acclaimed basket maker Joyce Schaum.

Off Track Art and Carousel Stained Glass are at 11 Liberty St., Westminster.
