U.S. Passports to Get a Makeover in 2016
Written by Katherine LaGrave 

[...]

From the passport rule most travelers don't know to State Department suggestions on when to renew (in one word: now), passport news in the past few months has been frequent, wide-ranging, and indicative of wider reform in the coming years. As part of the government's efforts to cut down on fraud, forgery, and misuse, updated security features will be unveiled later this year...

Morton's Towing and Recovery is the heavy accident recovery outfit that responded to the accident Friday morning in Carroll County


Morton's Towing and Recovery is the heavy accident recovery outfit that responded to the accident Friday morning in Carroll County

Sunday, Feb, 21, 2016

Morton's Towing and Recovery is the heavy accident recovery outfit that responded to the horrible accident Friday morning, Friday, Feb. 19, 2016, at Kate Wagner Road and Rte 27 in Carroll County Maryland. Morton’s was amazing.

For more information go to:



They arrived quickly, well-staffed, well-prepared, and equipped - and came with some of the biggest pieces of equipment I have ever seen except for perhaps in the Marine Crops in the early 1970s or perhaps when I did high steel work and bridges in the mid-1970s.

They were highly skilled, well-trained, professional, courteous, compassionate, and worked extremely well as a team with the Carroll County First responders on the scene. But perhaps most importantly, it is not good enough to be the best, you have to be nice. And you are not good if you are not nice. These were some of the nicest folks.

Same goes for our local responders…

We can be so proud of our community. We are there for each other.

We also owe a huge debt of gratitude to the men and woman who responded to the accident early Friday morning. The accident scene was very difficult, upsetting, dangerous, and freezing cold involving over 60 first responders.

The incident commander was a seasoned, compassionate, professional, and highly trained veteran of many-many fire, natural disaster, and accident responses. The incident commander was extremely competent and ran the operation like clockwork.

The local Carroll County volunteer first responders left their homes and families in the middle of the night and volunteered to come to the aid and assistance of someone in distress. They did it with a great deal of professionalism, used all the hours and hours of intense training for a greater good. They did it with a great deal of skill and competence. Many folks from other parts of the state remarked at the high level of professionalism and skill exhibited by Carroll County first responders. Many were especially impressed as to how well we worked as a team.

A big thank you to our first responders and Morton’s – God Bless you for all your work.

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

The Westminster Fire Co extends its sympathy to the family of Jeannie Vogel of JeannieBird Baking Co 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.
