Opening words by Don West

Song by Dean Camlin

Song by Eddie Brooks – I’ll
fly away.

"I'll Fly Away"

Some bright morning when this
life is over

I'll fly away

To that home on Gods
celestial shore

I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory

I'll fly away in the morning

When I die hallelujah by and
by

I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life
have gone

I'll fly away

Like a bird from these prison
walls I'll fly

I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory

I'll fly away in the morning

When I die hallelujah by and
by

I'll fly away

Oh how glad and happy when we
meet

I'll fly away

No more cold iron shackles on
my feet

I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory

I'll fly away in the morning

When I die hallelujah by and
by

I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory

I'll fly away in the morning

When I die hallelujah by and
by

I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days
and then

I'll fly away

To a land where joys will
never end

I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory

I'll fly away in the morning

When I die hallelujah by and
by

I'll fly away

I'll fly away

who died in today’s traffic accident.

Prayer by Westminster Fire
Dept. Chaplain

Ms. Vogel was a lovely person
who steadfastly supported the Westminster community and the Westminster Fire
Department. We lift Jeannie and her family, co-workers, and friends into our
hearts and pray for comfort and healing at this terrible time. She will be
greatly missed.

On behalf of the men and
woman of the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department

The Westminster Fire Engine
and Hose Company No.1 extends its sympathy to the family and loved ones of
Jeannie Vogel of the JeannieBird Baking Co., our neighbor on Main St in
Westminster, who died in yesterday’s traffic accident.

O god of grace and glory, we
remember before you today our sister Jeannie Vogel

We thank you for giving her
to us to know and to love as a companion in our pilgrimage on earth and our
service to our community. 

Our thoughts and prayers are
with the family at this very difficult time. 

Those we love don't go away.
They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved,
still missed and very dear.

May memories of happy times
sustain us, the support of family and friends comfort us, and may God's love
embrace you and your family and bring you peace.

In your boundless compassion,
console us who still mourn. 

Give us faith to see that
death has been swallowed up in the victory of our Lord, so that we may live in
confidence and hope until, by your call, we are gathered to our heavenly home
in the company of all your saints.

+++++++++

We also say a prayer for the
firefighters, EMS personnel, state highway workers, and police officers who
left their homes in the middle of night to respond to this terrible accident.
They fought the fire, freezing temperatures, ice, and multiple dangers of the
accident this morning at Rte. 27 and Kate Wagner Road.

God of earth and air, water
and fire, height and depth, we pray for those who work in danger,

Who rush in to bring hope and
help and comfort when others flee to safety,

Whose mission is to seek and save,
serve and protect, and whose presence embodies the protection of the Good
Shepherd.

Give them caution and concern
for one another, so that in safety they may do what must be done, under your
watchful eye.

Support them in their courage

and dedication that they may continue to save lives, ease pain, and mend the
torn fabric of lives and social order. Amen.

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898: A narrow escape in buggy mishap

A narrow escape in buggy mishap

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898.

A Narrow Escape—Mr. William A. Abbott, of Hampstead, was driving to Westminster Monday morning, and Mr. Leonard Rill, of Houcksville, was just ahead of him in another buggy, going at fair rate of speed, when, from some unaccountable reason, the horse ahead dashed into a post fence alongside the road.

Finding that he could not get through the fence the horse suddenly wheeled and ran towards Mr. Abbott's horse. The horse acted as if mad.

Mr. Rill was thrown out and the buggy was smashed to pieces. Mr. Abbott turned his buggy aside to render aid, when Mr. Rill's horse bore down upon Mr. Abbott's horse and buggy.

It was a trying moment for him, as his own horse became frightened and began to jump. The loose horse dashed by, however, barely grazing him, but part of the trapping struck him, injuring the lower part of his right leg.

When Mr. Rill's buggy was demolished he was thrown a considerable distance, and for this reason was uninjured, except being shaken up to a great extent.

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898.

Newly elected councilmember tackles hit and run driver and sits on him until police arrive

Law and order Councilmember Chiavacci

Newly elected councilmember tackles hit and run driver and sits on him until police arrive.

[Note: This is an update of an earlier story from Sunday, May 31, 2009 4:00 pm: Law and order councilmember Tony Chiavacci Westminster Maryland - Newly elected councilmember tackles alleged hit and run driver and detains him until police arrive, by Kevin Dayhoff. A shorter – edited version of this story appears in the Westminster Eagle, “Dayhoff: New councilmember tackles alleged hit and run drive” Published June 1, 2009 by Westminster Eagle]

Westminster Maryland - If you aspire to be an alleged hit-and-run driver in Westminster, you may not want to do it in front of newly elected Westminster Councilmember Tony Chiavacci’s house on Willis Street, just a couple houses down from Westminster City Hall and the Westminster police station.

Reports of the councilmen’s heroic law-and-order behavior travelled quickly through town last Sunday morning.

Usually the most activity on Willis Street on any given Sunday are the squirrels frenetically frittering about doing, well, whatever it is the bushy tailed critters frantically do, birds singing and a few bunny rabbits nibbling on some grass.

However, last Sunday the bucolic story-book calm of the historic tree-lined street noted for its large stately homes and well manicured lawns was shattered abruptly by the sounds of a roaring engine, squealing wheels and a car crash.

When it was all over, even the squirrels, birds, and bunnies stopped in their tracks and the only frantic critter on the street was a reckless hit-and-run driver flailing about with the grass flying and a councilmember sitting his back.

Witnesses revealed that a hapless eastbound driver on Willis Street, had apparently rounded the corner and traveled at a high rate of speed from the direction of Westminster City Hall towards Center Street when he hit several parked automobiles.

Soon after the parked cars were hit, the offending auto stopped in the street like a wounded beast and the driver attempted to flee. That’s when councilman Chiavacci sprang into action by eventually running-down and tackling the individual.

As a crowd of older citizens, assorted family dogs, birds, bunnies, squirrels, and children gathered around, the alleged offender was reported to have been heard screaming, “Get off of me.” A request that Chiavacci, the son of a career retired Maryland State Police officer did not seem to be in the mood to oblige.

Later that evening in a telephone interview, Councilman Chiavacci, a former Army military police officer who is known for his good-natured smile and easygoing personality - but who is also about the size of a small Sherman Tank – calmly recalled the morning’s events.

“Today is my birthday and my kids made me a birthday breakfast,” said the father of five children proudly in a soft, measured voice. “I was sitting in the living room reading the Sunday paper, when all the sudden I heard a car engine roaring, tires squealing – and then a loud crash.”

Now, no longer worried that an idiot was on the loose on Willis Street, Chiavacci’s annoyance turned into concern. “I was worried that someone may have gotten hurt, so I hustled out of the house and down the driveway to see a damaged mini-van sitting in the middle of the street.”

“Then this guy gets out and starts beating the feet on down the street towards Center Street…” Chiavacci’s police training immediately kicked in as he noticed the vehicle did not have tags on it, “and I wondered why this guy was taking off?”

Chiavacci went on to say that “I asked the guy to stop and get back to his car.”

At which time the driver of the wounded mini-van said, “I’ve gotta get to work man.”

Quickly getting a grip on the situation and transitioning from big-breakfast-eating, newspaper-reading slumbering-Sunday Dad to concerned citizen; Chiavacci said he realized that “something wasn’t adding-up, so I asked him again to ‘stop right there,’ more colorfully,” shared Chiavacci in a matter-of-fact tone of voice, as if he were talking about the weather.

Meanwhile the offender is picking up the pace, not running, but moving even more quickly. “I caught up to him and asked him again to stop.” At that the gentleman pushed back against Chiavacci.

Other accounts suggest that the offender struck Chiavacci, however according to Chiavacci, “ah, he just pushed me and said something like ‘leave me alone.’”

Three strikes and a shove and you’re out. Besides, the bad guy interrupted Chiavacci’s Sunday morning with his kids.

Chiavacci reports that he “was nice enough to ask him to stop one more time,” as the offender continued to try and take off. “So, I just leveled him in the yard,” at the northeast corner of North and Willow Streets.

“My MP training just took over. I was worried for all the kids that were out … and my elderly neighbors… and fortunately I knew how to stop him without hurting him.”

“He kept fighting me, but I had the better of him and I just waited for the police to come…”

Fortunately for the alleged hit-and-run driver, Westminster city police arrived quickly and took control of the situation.

Afterwards, the children in the neighborhood resumed playing; the squirrels went back to – whatever it is that they do and Chiavacci, well, “after the police took the guy away, I went back to being a birthday Dad and reading the paper.”

All in a day’s work.

Police: Speeding, truck traffic not a problem on Pennsylvania Avenue By Mary Scott

January 5th, 2009

I’m just catching up on my reading after the hectic holidays and being away for the last week and I came across this article in the Carroll County Times.

Oh my. I can only be sure that this report from the Westminster Police Department did not sit well with some of the folks up on Pennsylvania Avenue in Westminster who like to sustain attention to themselves by keeping a steady drumbeat of doom and gloom and therefore stay relevant by maintaining an air of crisis.

Police: Speeding, truck traffic not a problem on Pennsylvania Avenue By Mary Scott, Landmark News Service

Saturday, December 27, 2008

Despite resident concerns about truck traffic and speeding vehicles on Pennsylvania Avenue, data compiled by the Westminster Police Department shows that the two issues are not major safety risks.

Although truck traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue is 2.4 times higher than the average amount of truck traffic on other roadways of its type, Westminster Police Chief Jeffrey Spaulding said there’s no objective evidence that the trucks have contributed a significant level of collisions, property damage or injuries, according to data he presented at a recent meeting of the Tri-Street Area Advisory Committee, which centered on various traffic issues.
