Two Westminster Firefighters Recognized for 50 Years of Service




Two Westminster Firefighters Recognized for Fifty Years of Service

Doug Geouge and Fred Plunkert have been active members of the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department for half a century and they continue to to serve today.
By Kym Byrnes | Email the author | January 31, 2011



Part of the Firefighters Prayer goes like this: Give me the strength to save some life  Whatever be its age.  Two firefighters in Westminster have likely said that prayer and many others to make it through 50 years of working to save lives and property. They were honored in a laughter- and memory-filled event covered by Westminster Patch.

POLICE & FIRE, VOLUNTEERS IN THE NEWS

The Firefighter's PrayerWhen I am called to duty, God
whenever flames may rage,Give me the strength to save some lifeWhatever be its age.Help me to embrace a little childBefore it is too late,Or some older person 
fromthe horror of that fate.Enable me to be alertAnd hear the weakest shout,And quickly and efficientlyto put the fire out.I want to fill my calling
 and give the best in me…To guard my every neighborAnd protect their property.And if according to Your willI have to lose my life,Please bless with Your protecting handMy children and my wife.
--author unknown 
Fred Plunkert and Doug Geouge have likely said this prayer, or one like it, too many times to count in their fire fighting careers.  Both gentlemen have been members of the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department for 50 years...  http://westminster.patch.com/articles/two-westminster-firefighters-recognized-for-fifty-years-of-service

Bryan Sears - Lutherville Patch: Speed cameras continue to make news in Baltimore County


Lutherville-Timonium PatchDAILY NEWSLETTER

1. County announces is has decided to exercise a one-year option for speed cameras even as the council is going to vote tomorrow to expand the program. This means it will be at least a year before the county would rebid. ACS has already received 81 cents of every dollar the county has collected in speed camera citations.  http://patch.com/A-dQ2T

2. Speed Camera Support: Grassroots or Astroturf?  A Towson-based grassroots effort to win council support has a powerful friend not found on its Facebook page: ACS State and Local Solutions, the company that holds the county’s speed camera contract and stands to financially benefit from the pending legislation.  http://patch.com/A-dQ0y

Eldersburg Patch – Valerie Bonk: Romeo’s in Eldersburg Closes For Good

Romeo’s Closes For Good, Leaves Second Empty Space In Shopping Center

The economy claimed the homegrown Italian restaurant after almost four years.

Customers walking up to Princess Shopping Center in Eldersburg have one less dining option.

Romeo’s Italian Bistro closed in January after almost four years in business.

[…]

In June 2007, Mike and Cristina Romeo started Romeo’s Italian Bistro, taking the vacant space left when Strapazza closed its doors.

The Italian restaurant is one of a few businesses in the area over the past months that has become a victim of the poor economy.

Quiznos just a few doors down from Romeo’s closed late last year.

[…]

In 2009, 5,204 restaurants closed in the United States according to a study, up from 4,000 in 2008, with the most being independent restaurants.
