Westminster teen takes creative approach to helps restart veterans' lives

Westminster teen takes creative approach to helps restart veterans' lives

Westminster High School student Madeline White, 16, was fairly far from home Nov. 11, attending an event in Baltimore on Veterans Day.

But she was there, among some 300 attendees, sharing a view of "home" that could help homeless veterans across the state.

The event was "re-StART with Art," an art auction and gala at Church of the Redeemer in Baltimore to benefit Baltimore Station — a residential recovery program treats men, mostly war veterans, who battle homelessness, substance abuse and lack of job skills.

White was among many students throughout the region — most members of their schools' National Art Honor Society chapters — who contributed paintings and photos, as well as specially painted doors that symbolized doors to recovery for the homeless and addicted men.

Summary of Life

Summary of Life 

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED: 1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.. 
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person. 
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food..
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair..
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time. 
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk. 
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandma's lap. 



GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED: 
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts 
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground... 
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.. 

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD 

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional... 
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get. 
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. 
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions...
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone. 

THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE: 
1) You believe in Santa Claus. 
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus..
4) You look like Santa Claus. 


SUCCESS:

At age 12 success is . . . Having friends. 
At age 17 success is . . Having a driver's license. 
At age 35 success is . . . ..having money.
At age 50 success is . . . Having money..
At age 70 success is . .. . Having a drivers license. 
At age 75 success is . ... . Having friends. 


Always remember to forget the troubles that pass your way; 
BUT NEVER forget the blessings that come each day. 

Have a wonderful day with many *smiles*

Take the time to live!!!
Life is too short.
Whoo-hoo!

Well written, great production values, super photography, but then again, I am Carrie and Kenny’s biggest fan. My only regret is that I was not asked to do the drawing of Carrie featured at the beginning of the video.

Meanwhile, Carrie, my household is experimenting with pumpkin soup next. Any suggestions?

One little girl was looking for a purple dress for her mother.

A teenager looked at curtains for his little sister.

A little boy was looking for anything with Tinkerbell.

For the past eight years, the aisles of Walmart in Westminster have hosted more than 175 youngsters in their quest to find holiday presents for members of their families. On Dec. 10, their search is aided by members of Westminster's police department, as each child was accompanied by an officer during the annual Shop with A Cop event.

"Chief (Jeff) Spaulding feels very strongly that each child be with an officer," said Debbie Sabosk, an organizer of the event for the store. "He feels it's important for that bond between officer and child."

More than 90 years ago — on Dec. 6, 1920, to be precise — the Westminster Common Council approved the appointment of two additional "night patrolmen" to the ranks of the Westminster Police Department.

According to an old file copy of the history of the Westminster Police Department, "It was felt that there existed inadequate protection due to the number of frequent 'robberies and bank holdups.' "

The first recorded "constable" in the city's history was William Grumbine, appointed June 20, 1839 — just two days after the city passed its ordinance establishing town constables, according to the police history account.

"Constables were paid 33 1/2 cents for every person apprehended. … They would work from their homes and walk to handle any calls for service." ... http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1218-20111214,0,5350241.story

Baltimore football and Westminster have a long history together By Kevin Dayhoff

Baltimore football and Westminster have a long history together By Kevin Dayhoff

Certainly many people were disappointed when the Baltimore Ravens announced Dec. 2 that the team will not be returning to its McDaniel College summer training camp.

In a Carroll Eagle article that day on ExploreCarroll.com, Westminster Mayor Utz spoke for many, "It's almost a 50-year tradition that's being broken… That's the sad part about it."

The tradition and history of Baltimore football and Westminster first began when the newspaper announced ran on Feb. 11, 1949, "College Campus To Be Used By Colts … Coach Isbell Expects to Bring 55 Players to Train, Starting in July … Baltimore's football Colts are going to train at Western Maryland College this year."
