In memory of little Mason Thomas Stansbury, January 26, 2013 to February 26, 2013

In memory of little Mason Thomas Stansbury, January 26, 2013 to February 26, 2013. 

The greater firefighter, EMS, first responder - and Westminster Municipal Band community is saddened by the loss of the Stansbury family at the loss of Mason Thomas Stansbury, infant, of Westminster, who died Tuesday, February 26, 2013 after gracing us with his presence for only one month. I do not understand it, but God had other plans for Mason...God had other plans for Mason...

My heart goes out to my lifelong friend, co-worker - and many ways a mentor; someone whom I have looked-up to all my life for his work ethic, humility, humanity, integrity and spirituality, Robin Stansbury, Mason's grandfather... The best football practice blocker I ever knew.... 

Friends and family may still visit this afternoon, Sunday, March 3, 2013, at Pritts Funeral Home and Chapel, 412 Washington Rd., Westminster.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. at the funeral home with Rev. David Schafer officiating.

Luke 18:16 - But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Artist Biography

After working in the corporate world for many years Donna took an early retirement.  In January 2007, she took her first art class at Carroll Community College.  She continued with private watercolor classes with Felisa Flecker, workshops and classes with Tara Grim, Carolyn Seabolt, Sarah Abel DeLuca, and Skip Lawrence.  Presently Donna enjoys abstract painting, using acrylics, collage and mixed media with Ed Ramsburg, who continually encourages her to grow as an artist.

She has exhibited at Carroll County Community College – The Great Hall, Carroll Life Gallery, Circuit Court Building, Carroll County Arts Council, Frederick Arts Council (FAC), Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center (DVAEC), The Artists Gallery, FMH Crestwood Gallery, and Frederick County Art Association.  Within this past year, two of the art pieces have been shown at the Annapolis Statehouse Building.  Presently, original pieces and giclees are in private collections and consigned in a local shop.

When Donna was in the second grade art class, she remembered feeling the excitement when painting her first abstract.  Now she is focusing on acrylic, collage and mixed media abstracts - the larger the canvas, the better.  She enjoys expressing creativity through painting and going to new levels using the imagination with whatever materials are available.  The whole process from beginning to end is exhilarating! I love sharing my world of color with others.

When is a picture too much?

By SPJ http://blogs.spjnetwork.org/ethics/2012/12/04/when-is-a-picture-too-much/

By Andrew M. Seaman

One of the last moments of Ki Suk Han’s life was broadcast to the world on the cover of Tuesday’s New York Post.

The 58-year-old Queens man was pushed in front of an oncoming Q train in New York City’s subway system on Monday. On the cover, Han is shown clinging to the subway platform seconds before being pinned between it and the cars, according to the Post’s description of events. He later died of his injuries.

The front page caught the attention of several journalists, whose Twitter reactions and judgments were nicely curated by Poynter’s Jeff Sonderman... http://blogs.spjnetwork.org/ethics/2012/12/04/when-is-a-picture-too-much/

An air of objectivity

By Kevin Smith

A lot has been made of the word “objectivity” as it relates to news coverage and reporting.

Some people believe it is an attainable value in American journalism, a principle worthy of our efforts. Others think it is nothing short of a myth. The rankling over whether objectivity can truly exist in journalism has been the subject of so much contention over the years, I feel like I can stand before a mirror and carry on a lengthy debate with myself.

I know the rhetoric.

I also know what I believe and how I apply it to my role as chairman of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Ethics Committee.

To the many voices who respectfully say it’s a farce, and to the growing voices who contend it’s nothing more than a concocted standard by which journalists could hang their principled crowns for display for all these many years, I concede this point – we are all biased... http://blogs.spjnetwork.org/ethics/2012/11/15/an-air-of-objectivity/
