Reviewing the art submitted for the magazine Creative Expressions – at Carroll Lutheran Village


Reviewing the art submitted for the magazine Creative Expressions – at Carroll Lutheran Village

A little while ago, just before the holidays I was mailed my copy of the magazine ‘Creative Expressions’ from Carroll Lutheran Village. I set my copy on the corner of my desk to look at later… Well, I finally got a chance to uncover it. It is wonderful to leaf through the magazine with art from the residents at Carroll Lutheran Village. It just seems like yesterday that we did the judging – but it was a number of months ago, that I was among the three local artists that met on Aug. 2, 2018 to select the artwork at Carroll Lutheran Village

On Sunday, September 2, 2018, [Update: 30Dec2018,] the Carroll County Times ran a copy of the picture we took that day in the section called, “Prime,” news for the 55-forward community. Page C3 Sunday, September 2, 2018. [Update: 30Dec2018] Creative Expressions - Three local artists met on Aug. 2 to select the artwork to appear on the covers of Creative Expressions, the annual Carroll Lutheran Village creative magazine produced by residents [that was just recently released.] The artwork was created by Village residents and staff for the 2018 issue of Creative Expressions.

#SavingLives #Training The training never stops

#SavingLives #Training The training never stops. Caroline and I are taking a recertification class for CPR, AED, and first aid along with the instructors and volunteers with the 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County; in the training room at the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1.

As a group, we have been taking this class together for about 20-years. We have 15 in the class. Westminster Fire Company firefighter and EMS provider Ed Burrell is the instructor. 

This is the first time we have taken the class at the fire company. The Westminster fire company has recently begun an initiative to provide various emergency response classes. Having a working EMS provider is a great advantage because the instructor can provide real-life experience insights for the class. February 18, 2019 Monday.

Hickory Hollow Farm in Finksburg is the latest Carroll County farm to be featured on Maryland Public Television’s television show “Maryland Farm & Harvest.”

The farm is featured on the final episode of the series’ sixth season, about locally produced spirits, which will be airing at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 5. The segment featuring Hickory Hollow will delve into a Baltimore distiller’s commitment to producing traditional Maryland rye whiskey from local ingredients.

[…]

Hickory Hollow Farm, run by Chris Weaver and his father Richard Weaver, is one of three farms that produce rye for Sagamore Spirit, and has been partnered with them for a little over a year. Before last year, Sagamore’s rye came from out of state.
