On Nov. 14, the Westminster Road Runners Club and Westminster City Department of Recreation and Parks will sponsor the annual Terry Burk Sam Case 5K on the Wakefield Valley Trail — better known to older local runners as the Terry Burk Trail.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the tragic death of Burk, a popular runner and the second generation owner of a family candy store, the Treat Shop in Westminster.

Burk was struck by a car and killed while jogging with friends on Route 97 at Kalten Road on Aug. 10, 1995. He was only 48 years old.

Sam Case was among the original members of the Westminster Road Runners Club… http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-archives-green-space-20151104-story.html

Silently correctly your grammar

Silently correctly your grammar

Kevin Dayhoff Sunday, October 25, 2015

Oh my goodness. I have been doing this all my life – in spite of the fact that I certainly do not always use correct grammar. (Why do you think I like my editors so much?)

But all this morning at church, Sunday school, pastor’s study and at lunch; I have been “silently correcting grammar.” When I got home, I opened this awesome e-mail from Dave Selby and Sally Selby that had a link to this image. What a hoot. Thank you Dave and Sally Selby – this made my day.

Sinking

I am slowing down

As the years go by

I am sinking

So I trick myself

Like everybody else

The secrets I hide

Twist me inside

They make me weaker

So I trick myself

Like everybody else

I crouch in fear and wait

I'll never feel again...

If only I could remember

Anything at all

Sunrise Opens Each Day With A New Beginning by Andrew W. Aughenbaugh

Sunrise Opens Each Day With A New Beginning

http://www.augiesadventures.com/sunrise/ 

Posted by augie on October 1, 2015

By the grace of God the darkest of nights give way to the rising sun and another day. Sunrise opens each day with a new beginning, a chance to try again and build upon yesterday’s lessons.

This sunrise photograph was taken on Corolla Beach North Carolina. I had spent the night before sleeping under the stars on the dunes. I was on a 3 day drive from Westminster, MD to Hatteras, North Carolina. The world I had known was gone. Where the road of the future would take me was unknown. I was homeless, jobless and estranged from my children. It was the darkest of nights. That morning watching the sun rise above the ocean, I felt God’s hand on my shoulder. On that day I began the long journey to become the person I wanted, and I believe God wanted me to become. Today, a few years later, this photograph with my own personal quote has become one of my best sellers... http://www.augiesadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Soar-into-each-new-day1.jpg

Baltimore Sun: Cruise on Liberty ship a reminder that freedom is not free [Eagle Archives] September 24, 2015 By Kevin E. Dayhoff http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-archives-liberty-ship-0927-20150921-story.html

Labels: Boats, Dayhoff Media Explore Carroll, History 1939 1945 World War II, History 1939 1945 World War II Liberty ship John W. Brown, History 1939 1945 World War II Liberty ships

My latest article is about the Liberty ship, the S.S. John W. Brown. This was absolutely fascinating to research. I will be going on the upcoming veteran's cruise and can't wait. Enjoy the article here: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-archives-liberty-ship-0927-20150921-story.html

On Oct. 3 about 20 veterans from Carroll County will commemorate Veterans Day and the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II early this year, as they set sail on the World War II Liberty ship, the S.S. John W. Brown.

According to Phil Mullikin, a volunteer for Project Liberty Ship and a member of the Community Foundation of Carroll County, “I teamed-up with the Kahlert Foundation to develop a grant to take Carroll County vets on this cruise. For me it is killing two birds with one stone, I’m helping to raise money for the preservation of the ship, and I’m doing something for the vets in the county. November weather can be pretty unpleasant so the cruise is made in October.”

Volunteering is nothing new for Mullikin, who also serves on the board of ‘Catherine’s Cause,’ an anti-drunk driving organization. The Kahlert Foundation is a Carroll County organization that supports veterans, and youth, education and health care initiatives and programs.

In a recent phone interview, Mullikin said that he has volunteered for Project Liberty Ship for four years. He was recruited by chief officer Larry Knapp, a fellow Delaware River pilot. A river pilot himself, Mullikin explained that he “worked with the Delaware River Pilots for about 13 years, after spending 35 years at sea as a merchant seaman. I ended my career at the rank of captain.”

Volunteering for his adopted Carroll County is nothing new for Mullikin, who also serves on the board of Catherine’s Cause, an anti-drunk driving organization. Mullikin grew-up in a Maryland eastern shore family. I’ve lived in Carroll County for almost 35 years. I got here as quickly as I could.

Mullikin said that he got involved with the restoration of the Liberty ship because his hobby is carpentry. “But I started my work on the John Brown as temporary relief chief officer. However, I did not want to continue to do that because that is what I did all my life. But my ‘unlimited master’s license upon ocean,’ allows me to make ocean transits should that need arise for the Brown.”

Timed just about midway between two dates that have significant meaning for veterans in this country, approximately 20 veterans from Carroll County will board a ship of that has also has significant importance.

On Oct. 3, the county residents will commemorate Veterans Day (Nov. 11) and Sept. 2, 1945 official surrender by Japan that ended World War II by coming aboard the World War II Liberty ship, the S.S. John W. Brown.

Philip W. Mullikin, a volunteer for Project Liberty Ship and a member of the Community Foundation of Carroll County said he, "teamed up with the Kahlert Foundation to develop a grant to take Carroll County vets on this cruise."

The Kahlert Foundation is a Carroll County organization that supports veterans, and youth, education and health care initiatives and programs.

"For me it is killing two birds with one stone," Mullikin said. "I'm helping to raise money for the preservation of the ship, and I'm doing something for the vets in the county."

As for the timing, "November weather can be pretty unpleasant so the cruise is made in October," he said.

The S.S. Brown website explains that the cargo ship, built in Baltimore, is "one of only two remaining, fully operational Liberty ships that participated in World War II. The first of the 2,711 Liberty ships was the SS Patrick Henry, launched on Sept. 27, 1941…"
