Pay our respects to the French veterans of the First Indochina (Vietnam) War, 1945 - 1954; in Vernon France


Caroline and I took a moment to pay our respects to the French veterans of the First Indochina (Vietnam) War, 1945 - 1954; at the Aux Mort et Disparus de la Guerre d'Indochine Memorial in Vernon, Normandy, France, on the Rue des Combattants d'Indochine. Tues. Oct. 25, 2016.

Tues. Oct. 25, 2016 Vernon, Normandy France

Tues. Oct. 25, 2016 Vernon, Normandy France - standing at the plane tree that anchored the 2nd floating bridge across the Seine established on Aug. 27, 1944.

Almost 3 months after D Day, June 6, 1944; on Aug. 25, 1944, the British Nottinghamshire Sherwood Rangers Yeoman - Royal Armoured Corps, moved through Vernon to begin operations to cross the Seine.

From Aug. 25-29, 1944 the British lost over 550 men in the operation. Montgomery used the bridge to cross the Seine on Sept. 1, 1944, on his way to Belgium.

According to one guide, "Normandy is a region of northern France. Its varied coastline includes white-chalk cliffs and WWII beachheads, including Omaha Beach, site of the famous D-Day landing. Just off the coast, the rocky island of Mont-Saint-Michel is topped by a soaring Gothic abbey. The city of Rouen, dominated by Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, is where military leader and Catholic saint Joan of Arc was executed in 1431."

Dayhoff: Enjoying autumn leaves in Carroll County Maryland

Dayhoff: Enjoying autumn leaves in Carroll County Maryland


Time Flies by Kevin Dayhoff October 7, 2016


For those of us who adore the long days, sunshine, heat, and humidity of Maryland summers; the shorter days and crisp temperatures of October bring mixed emotions.

We are certainly happy to turn off the air conditioning, throw open the windows and enjoy the cooler temperatures and the brilliant colors of the leaves in Carroll County.

However, we all know in the back of our minds that winter is not far away. Winters in Maryland are hateful. Snow is a four-letter word. Ice is the wrath of the Gods.

Yet, for a runner, the kaleidoscope of the fall colors are a welcome distraction to the constant pounding of footsteps on a fall run.

Fall is for runners. Whether you walk or run, the Wakefield Valley Community Trail is arguably one of the best places to enjoy fall in Carroll County.

Caroline, Grammy, and I really enjoyed attending The Shepherd's Staff 25th Anniversary Dinner

Caroline, Grammy, and I really enjoyed attending The Shepherd's Staff 25th Anniversary Dinner Dance at the Reese Fire Hall. We sat with Del. Haven Shoemaker and his wife. Sitting nearby were folks like Ed and Rebecca Leister, CC School Board member Virginia and Judge Charles Harrison, and Bernardino Jones and his wife. It was good to see Joe and Becki Maurio, Brenda Meadows, Vera Green, Lois and Craig Giles, and many-many others. It was a nice evening for a great cause. Oct. 1, 2016.

We want everyone to come home safely at the end of the day.



On Friday, early in the afternoon, Sept. 23, 2016, a driver blew through an accident scene on westbound Rt. 140 and Sandymount Road, almost hit a Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. EMS provider, and sideswiped ambulance 38.

On Wed., Sept. 28, 2016, Greg Shipley with the Maryland State Police office of media communications sent out a news release about the incident: http://news.maryland.gov/msp/2016/09/28/driver-charged-with-hit-and-run-involving-ambulance-at-carroll-co-crash-scene/

On Wed., Sept. 26, 2016, the Carroll County Times carried the story: “Westminster man charged with hit-and-run of ambulance at crash scene,”
“A Westminster man has been charged in a hit-and-run incident after he allegedly drove through a crash scene on Md. 140 on Friday, striking an ambulance, then drove away…” Carroll County Times staff Wed., Sept. 28, 2016 http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/crime/ph-cc-ambulance-hit-and-run-20160928-story.html

On Thursday afternoon, Sept. 29, 2016, news reporter Tracey Leong and videographer Judy Ryan from WJZ Baltimore Channel 13 interviewed Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. EMS provider Brittany Baeder about the hit and run crash in Carroll Co. Sept. 23, 2016 at Rte 140 and Sandymount Rd. http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2016/09/29/hit-and-run-driver-unapologetic-after-narrowly-missing-firefighter/



“The men and women of the Westminster Vol. Fire Dept., on behalf of all Carroll County fire fighters. EMS provides and police officers, urge the driving public to exercise extra restraint, caution, care, and patience when they come upon fire and police officials responding at an accident scene.

The consequences of not exercising that extra care can be horrific. Besides, they could attending to your loved-one, neighbor, friend, or family member – or the first responder hurt or killed by your actions could be your loved-one, neighbor, friend, or family member. Move over - we want everyone to come home safely at the end of the day.” Kevin E. Dayhoff Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 PIO and Chaplain
