Our prayers go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of Brenda Barber.

April 30, 2017

Our prayers go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of Brenda Barber this morning. Caroline and I awakened to the unbelievable horrible heartbreaking news that our dear friend and colleague, Brenda died in the traffic accident over in New Windsor last night.

Her untimely death is a huge loss to the Sam's Creek 4-H Club, the Carroll County agriculture and the 4-H community. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to her husband Rick.

Although the agriculture community is blessed with many great leaders; wise leadership of the caliber of Rick and Brenda is increasingly rare and the loss of Brenda is a terrible blow to the greater Carroll County community. Brenda is held in very high regard in the Ag community. The Carroll agriculture community is a tight, close-knit community; this morning we all feel a dreadful sense of loss. She touched so many lives.

Let us pray: O god of grace and glory, we remember before you today our sister Brenda.

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. 

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; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

“We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord, so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” (Romans 14:7-8)

Amen

According to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office report: “On 04/29/17, at approximately 1621hours, Carroll County Emergency Communications dispatched a two vehicle personal injury collision on New Windsor Rd in the 1400 Block, New Windsor, MD 21776. 

Sheriff Deputies along with Fire/Rescue personnel from the New Windsor and Mount Airy Fire Departments responded. 

Upon deputies arrival, they observed a gray Ford Focus resting on the eastbound grassy shoulder facing west with heavy front end damage.

Resting in the westbound grassy shoulder was a red Toyota Tundra facing south with heavy front end damage. 

Preliminary investigation revealed the Ford Focus was traveling eastbound on New Windsor Rd failed to drive right of center crossing over the double yellow lane divider into the westbound travel lane at a high rate of speed striking the Toyota head on who was traveling westbound. 

The Ford and Toyota were each occupied by the driver only. The driver of the Ford a 32 year old male was pronounced deceased at the scene by New Windsor Fire personnel. The driver of the Toyota a 57 year old female was transported to Carroll Hospital Center where she was pronounced deceased

Denise Elaine Frebertshauser, 45, passed away peacefully on April 16, 2014

Denise Elaine Frebertshauser, age 45 of Harwood, Maryland passed away peacefully on April 16, 2014 at the University of Maryland Medical Center, with family and friends by her side.

Born on March 11, 1969 in Westminster, she was the daughter of Donald E. Frebertshauser and Rose M. Hahn Frebertshauser of Westminster. She is survived by her brother, Drew Frebertshauser, Spring Grove,  PA and friend Holly Givler, Hanover, PA and niece Dakota Frebertshauser; aunts and uncles David and Jill Frebertshauser, Alice and Jim Eckard,  and Paul and Anna Hahn, Jr. Westminster.  She was an adored “Auntie” to Jacob and Drew Bjerknes and Berlin Dunn. She was preceded in death by close friend Bonnie Dunn in 2010. Her infectious love of life and learn by doing spirit through the 4-H program and ACA camping, gathered many wonderful friends who circled her with love and devotion throughout the years.

Denise was a 1987 graduate of Westminster High School, and then went on to graduate from the University of Maryland, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources with a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Food Science. She began a 5 year career of growing kids into competent caring and nurturing adults in the Baltimore County 4-H program with Adventures in Science and camping. From 1997- 2005, Denise as an extension educator in the Carroll County 4-H program expanded her natural resource and teen leadership focus. Denise’s mantra, “Get a child outside,” was frequently heard. She believed a supportive natural environment where adults and youth could interact developed a child’s head, heart, hand and health.

Denise was committed to developing the Maryland Patuxent River 4-H Center into a thriving and safe place for urban youth to learn how to become environmental stewards while having fun with hands on educational experiences. Denise’s creative teaching approach was key for developing senior youth mentor partnerships with younger campers. Her respect and interest for the American Indian traditions were often taught. She loved collecting antiques and historical memorabilia.

Denise was currently the Extension Specialist in Environmental Science and Outdoor Education at the University of Maryland Extension 4-H Youth and Development Center. She continued to grow “kids” and adults through science and camping. Denise was a published faculty member with numerous awards for her creativity, teaching, and program outreach. She was honored to receive the President’s award by the Chesapeake Section of the National American Camping Association for her outstanding service.  Denise was most noted for making a difference in the lives of youth and adults. Her “never quit attitude” and “live in the moment” enthusiasm sparked much love and devotion for many youth and adults across Maryland. Death leaves a heart ache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal.

A Memorial Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 at St. John’s (Leisters) Lutheran Church,  827 Leisters Church Rd., Westminster,  with the Reverend Kristin Dubsky officiating.  Burial will follow in Leisters Church Cemetery.  The family will receive friends on Tuesday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the Myers-Durboraw Funeral Home, 91 Willis St., Westminster, and on Wednesday from 10 a.m. until the time of service at the church. 


In lieu of flowers donations may be made to: The Maryland 4-H Foundation, Denise Memorial Camping Fund, 8020 Greenmead Drive, College Park, MD 20740 or the Patuxent River 4-H Center Foundation, INC., Denise Memorial, PO Box 342, Davidsonville, MD 21035.

Eagle Archive: Kinzy found rocky soil, but planted a fertile seed in Cooperative Extension

Eagle Archive: Kinzy found rocky soil, but planted a fertile seed in Cooperative Extension





Much has changed in Westminster and Carroll County since Grover Kinzy, the first Maryland Cooperative Extension agent, came to town on Nov. 10, 1916 — in part, as a response to the economic chaos in the agriculture community resulting from the market repercussions of World War I.

Kinzy's office was in the Times Building, across the street from the old Westminster fire hall on Main Street in Westminster. One of the first things Kinzy did was help start local 4-H clubs.

According to the definitive history book on agriculture in Carroll County — "Legacy of the Land" by Carol Lee — it wasn't an easy task for Kinzy… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0902-20120901,0,1065554.story

… Tom Ford, the county agriculture adviser-consultant in the Carroll County office of the Cooperative Extension Service, wrote on Sept. 19, 1992… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0902-20120901,0,1065554.story
