Fourteen years ago — on April 12, 1998 — the Baltimore Sun carried
an article about my neighbor and good friend, Kathryn Myers Frock, in which it
was noted:
"The Westminster woman, who is believed to be the
longest-serving 4-H volunteer in the country, was surprised recently to be
honored for 58 years of volunteer service.
"Fifty-eight years? thought Frock. Why 58?
"'Maybe they don't think I'm going to be here for 60
years,' she said with a smile."
Well, Frock made it to 60 years. As a matter of fact, make
that 74 years that she was a 4-H leader and volunteer fair judge.
That said, with Frock, it was not as much about the quantity
of years, but the quality.
Frock passed away on April 26 at age 94. http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0506-20120502,0,7820360.story

When Kathryn Frock joined 4-H in 1934, there were girl 4-H
clubs and boy 4-H clubs. If you lived on a farm and worked with animals,
however, you were allowed to belong to a "co-ed club."
In those days the fair was held in Taneytown, before moving
to its current location behind the Agricultural Center in Westminster.
To build the buildings at the new site, the 4-H clubs raised
money through various methods such as making moccasins and selling household
"guidebooks."
At 89, Frock has more than 60 years of memories of being in
4-H, first as a member, then as a leader and currently as a judge… http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2006/08/westminster-eagle-katie-v-jones-kathryn.html

Accolades mark a life of volunteering Westminster woman
lauded for 4-H service
By Sheridan Lyons SUN STAFF http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1998-04-12/news/1998102100_1_4-h-volunteer-carroll-county-frock
The Westminster woman who is believed to be the
longest-serving 4-H volunteer in the country was surprised recently to be
honored for 58 years of volunteer service.
Fifty-eight years? thought Kathryn Frock. Why 58?
"Maybe they don't think I'm going to be here for 60
years," she said with a smile last week.
If there were a grandmaster of homemaking, Frock, 80, would
qualify: Her skills range from the "seven-day pickles" she puts up to
the carefully centered daisy buttons on a dress she made in 1936 that swept 4-H
Club local, state and national needlework honors.
…
[…]
"This woman is phenomenal," said Bob Shirley,
Carroll County's recently retired extension agent for 4-H. "The amount of
volunteer work she's still doing and the number of organizations she's giving
support to. And she still is a very strong, active leader," he said.

Kevin Dayhoff: A Tribute to Calvin Brothers, long serving firefighter, 4-H volunteer and Chief Building Inspector for Carroll County
Calvin Brothers, long serving firefighter, 4-H volunteer and
Chief Building Inspector for Carroll County, has died at age 79

Firefighters from all across Carroll County gathered at the Haight Funeral Home in Sykesville on Sunday to celebrate the life of Calvin Warren Brothers, 79, of Finksburg, who died Wednesday, December 28, 2011, at Carroll Hospital Center in Westminster.
The service was conducted by the Carroll County Volunteer
Emergency Services Association Chaplain, Deacon Charles Barnhart, of whom many
emergency services personnel turn to in times of trouble or grief in Carroll
County.
Barnhart began the service by saying, “My friends, we have
gathered here to praise God and to witness our faith as we celebrate the life
of Calvin Brothers. We come together in grief, acknowledging our human loss.
May God grant us grace, that in pain we may find comfort, in sorrow hope, in
death resurrection.”
Brothers wore many different hats in the greater Carroll
County community and many folks knew him well by his steadfast community
leadership in the many responsibilities he took upon himself. The one common
thread is that he did everything well and no matter how difficult the task, he
was always a good friend to everyone.
He was born February 2, 1932 in Finksburg, and was the son
of the late Ernest Claude and Amelia I. Ward Brothers. He was the husband of
the late Carol Ann Baumes Brothers, who died in 2010.
He was a U.S. Army veteran, who served in Korea. He was a
member of the Westminster VFW, Westminster Moose, and the Westminster American
Legion.
He worked for many years for Luther L. Brothers Builders and
later as the Chief Building Inspector for Carroll County.
Others knew him well as a volunteer with Carroll County 4H
and FFA programs where he once served as the Chair of the Board for the Carroll
County 4H and FFA Fair.
Folks gathered Sunday evening to celebrate Brothers’ service
to our community as a volunteer firefighter. In May 1964, after several
devastating fires in the Gamber area of Carroll County, the Gamber and
Community Fire Company was organized. According to an old newspaper article, “Two
months after the company established itself, Calvin Brothers joined up. His
uncle, a member, recruited him. ‘Between 1965 and 1975, this was a very small
company,’ he said. ‘It didn't seem like we were going to go too far.’”
But through the hard work of Brothers and countless other
community leaders, the upstart fire company has gone far over the years.
“By 1965, the company purchased land and a building at the
intersection of Md. 32 and Md. 91, and ordered the first piece of fire
equipment…”
Here, Barnhart picked-up the story of Brothers’ work for our
community at his memorial service. Brothers “gave his volunteer spirit for 46
years.” He was the company president for a total of eleven-years in five
different decades.
Over the years, in addition to serving as a delegate to the
Carroll County Volunteer Firemen’s Association, and member of numerous
committees, he also served as Gamber fire chief, first vice-president for four
years, second vice-president for three years, and a member of the board of
directors for an additional four years.
He also served as president of the county firefighters’
association from 1992-1993 and was elected to the Carroll County Volunteer
Firemen’s Association Hall of Fame in 1990.
Barnhart spoke for many when he said, “There is so much to
share about Calvin’s dedication to” the Gamber volunteer fire company. “His
personality and devotion will never be forgotten. In every role, Calvin touched
your lives with charm and wit, with courage and hope, with kindness and love.
And I’m sure that it was a great reunion at the heavenly gate when Calvin
arrived this past Wednesday…
“Calvin became for all, the model of what it means to be an
honest hard working sensitive adult. And now, as long as you live in the memory
of his witness and faith, he will always live through you…
“We have been blessed with various gifts of service. We give
thanks for the life of Calvin W. Brothers and say thank you for his 46 years of
service to the Gamber and Community Volunteer Fire Company and the Gamber
community. We are grateful for his time and commitment for the betterment of
others.”
According
to attribute ob the fire company website by Gamber
fire company treasurer Clay Myers, Brothers was the husband of Carol Ann
Brothers who died in 2010. Surviving are daughter and son-in-law Jen and Chad
Dean of Odenton, sons and daughter-in-law Rick Bartels of Glen Burnie, and John
and Alisha Bartels of Gamber.
Also surviving are brothers and sisters-in-law Robert
Brothers of Gamber, Luther L. and Eva M. Brothers of Gamber, and Carl Melvin
and Bonnie Brothers of Traverse City, MI, sister Joan Gist of Gamber, and
grandchildren Kera Jefcoat, Kaitlyn Crabtree, Tyler Bartels and Olivia Hope
Bartels, and great grandson Layton Jefcoat.
He was predeceased by his sisters Grace Shipley, Jeanette
Robertson, Marietta Clark, and Amelia Sue Green, his brother-in-law Richard
Gist, and his grandson John Eric Bartels.
Funeral services were held Monday, January 2, 2012, at 10:00
am at Haight Funeral Home & Chapel with Deacon Charles Barnhart
officiating. Interment was at the Providence Cemetery, Gamber.
Donations in the honor of the memory of Brothers may be made
to the Gamber and Community Fire Department,
3939 Niner Rd., Finksburg, MD 21048.
Online condolences may be offered at www.haightfuneralhome.com

4-H’ers heading to national competitions by Carrie Ann Knauer
4-H’ers heading to national competitions By Carrie Ann Knauer, Carroll County Times Staff Writer
Monday, September 08, 2008
Four teens from Francis Scott Key High School will represent the state at several regional and national livestock judging competitions this fall after winning the top positions in the 4-H competition at the Maryland State Fair last weekend.
This is the first time that the four-person A team will be made up of youths from the same county, let alone the same school, said Kathy Gordon, 4-H youth development extension educator for Carroll.
About 30 youths competed in the 4-H livestock judging competition at the Maryland State Fair Aug. 30, Gordon said. During the competition, the youths examine several rounds of beef cattle, sheep and swine, and judge them on their physical build and characteristics. They rank the animals in each class, then submit their rankings to be compared to the professional judges’ rankings.
Claire Bennett won first place with 614 points, followed by Drew Cashman in second place with 613 points and Lukas Ziegler in third place with 610 points. Claire’s brother Troy Bennett placed seventh with 578 points...

The 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program is always seeking volunteers, ages 14 and up, to help with lessons at the 4-H arena at the Agriculture Center in Westminster. Horse experience is a plus, but is not required. for more information go here http://www.trp4h.org/index.html or call 410-876-1760.
4-H Therapeutic Riding provides a program of therapeutic horseback riding to children and adults with disabilities.
For over 20 years, this all-volunteer organization has served more than 1,500 individuals with a wide range of disabilities.
Therapeutic riding uses horses to make positive contributions to the physical, cognitive, emotional and social well being of individuals with disabilities.
The program serves as a training center for Special Olympic athletes competing locally and at the Special Olympic World Games.
Following standards of the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, adaptations are made to allow individuals with disabilities to participate in various riding activities.
The program emphasizes cognitive, behavioral, psychological and physical goals for each participant.
My wife, Caroline, serves as a volunteer NARHA certified instructor, Board member and Treasurer. She also serves on the Carroll County Agriculture Center Board representing 4-H Therapeutic Riding and as the Ag Center Treasurer.
I volunteer also – mostly in a grounds maintenance – property management capacity, but I been known to do whatever I’m asked.
I designed the original landscape design for the property and, along with Caroline and many other volunteers, helped install the plants and build run-in sheds.
I grew up participating in 4-H.
In the past, I have taught many classes for the Cooperative Extension Service, served on numerous committees including: the Carroll Co. Agriculture Program Advisory Committee of the University of MD Cooperative Extension Service; the Cooperative Extension Service Maintenance Conference Planning Committee. I also served on a special Carroll & Frederick County agricultural community advisory taskforce for Dr. Raymond J. Miller, University of Maryland Vice Chancellor for Agricultural Affairs in the 1980s.
