Memorial Day prayer at the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial

Memorial Day prayer at the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial

Memorial Day in Westminster - From left, Jan Battaglini, Glenn Bair, Sally Adams and Doug Battaglini, all of Westminster, gather during a prayer at the Carroll County Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Westminster Monday, May 25, 2015.

Memorial Day prayer at the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial

May 25, 2015 http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/05/memorial-day-prayer-at-carroll-county.html

As has been our routine dating back to the 1990s, a number of us gather at the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial at Willis and Court Streets in Westminster across the street from the historic Carroll County Courthouse.

The Carroll County Maryland Vietnam Memorial Park was dedicated on May 28, 1990. There are 19 names on the memorial. Of the 19 names – 17 killed in action, one missing in action and a former prisoner of war - some we knew.  Some we didn’t.  But they were all someone’s son or father or brother or uncle – or a cherished childhood friend.  Their faces have been silent for many years, but they all have a story to tell.

Over 2.7 million Americans served in the Vietnam War.  The average age was 19.  Of that number, 300,000 were wounded in action, and 75,000 were disabled.  It has been estimated that almost 5 million military personnel and civilians, from all sides, lost their life in the Vietnam War.  Of the 58,200 names listed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, 1,046 are Marylanders who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam War.

This year our prayer was:

Put on the whole armor of God

May 25, 2015 Memorial Day CC Vietnam Memorial prayer

By Kevin E. Dayhoff, Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 and Maryland Troopers Association Lodge #20 Chaplain.

The Lord be with you. Heavenly Father, Hear our prayer

We are brought here together through your common call to service to our family, community and country. We ask that God's healing and loving presence be with all of us today on Memorial Day who may have unspoken needs.

We have gathered here in your name as we have been called to be a people of prayer. We praise you because you are our creator, our redeemer and our provider.

We especially approach you today with humility and age in the shadow of the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial as we pay our respects to our fallen sons of Carroll.

Bless the souls of those brave American heroes from Carroll County on the black granite monument at the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial who died in Vietnam. We lift up and place in your loving arms the eighteen fallen sons of Carroll, individually by name and together as a family. We pray that they all be remembered by our children and our children’s children.

We pray that we may (Ephesians 6:11,) “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil,” and be armed with the power of the Spirit, so that we may continue to make the Gospel understandable to those of us who after many years still have unanswered questions…

In the name of all we've learned by the Vietnam experience, God grant us a lasting love of peace and our fellow humans. 

Refresh our hearts with peace and love as we reconcile the Vietnam experiences with our current lives. 

For all those who selflessly put themselves in dangers way to protect others … let us pray to the Lord.

We know the good that comes to those who believe and are called for a greater purpose.

Bless this time together and for the many ways you reveal yourself to us, we gratefully praise you. 


Remember those who serve for our public safety and community. Keep them safe as they protect and serve. Allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us to effect the accomplishment of this prayer. AMEN

Carroll's NAACP finds a community-building opportunity in Westminster's Memorial Day parade - May 26, 2015 by Heather Cobun Carroll County Times

Carroll's NAACP finds a community-building opportunity in Westminster's Memorial Day parade - May 26, 2015 by Heather Cobun Carroll County Times

See more at: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-memorial-day-parade-052615-20150526,0,4595380.story

Despite having a presence in the community for years, it wasn't until 2013 that Carroll County's NAACP chapter participated in the Westminster Memorial Day Parade for the first time, and this year's event was only the second for the local civil rights organization.

[…]

NAACP members have served in every war since the organization's founding in 1909, according to Pamela Zappardino, first vice president of Carroll's NAACP chapter.

[…]

Charles Harrison, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, said he wanted to involve and highlight youth in the parade.

"I'd like to get them more involved and get kids in general more involved," he said of the Silver Oak students.

Harrison drove a convertible ahead of the NAACP float and invited his granddaughter and children and grandchildren of other members of the organization to ride with him.

The Economist: Greece - The sorry saga of Syriza

The Economist: Greece - The sorry saga of Syriza

In its first hundred days Greece’s government has failed dismally. A crunch looms

May 9th 2015 http://www.economist.com/news/europe/21650600-its-first-hundred-days-greeces-government-has-failed-dismally-crunch-looms-sorry-saga?fsrc=scn/tw/te/pe/st/thesorrysagaofsyriza

[…]

Perhaps it was naive to expect anything else. A few years ago many of the men now in charge spent their time discussing the contradictions of capitalism over coffee and cigarettes. Few had ever run anything, let alone a government. Their European contacts were limited. Syriza, their party, typically won only 3-4% of the vote. But Greece’s economic calamity transformed its prospects. In 2012 it came within a whisker of power. And after January’s election it went one better, forming a governing coalition.

Syriza, under the leadership of the new prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, offered an attractive promise to a country battered by recession and humiliated by years of tutelage at the hands of foreign bureaucrats. Mr Tsipras promised to tear up the bail-outs, restore Greek dignity and keep the euro (as the vast majority of Greeks want). Greece might also, ministers mused, change the rules of euro-zone governance, to the benefit of all Europeans.

Three months on, the first two of these pledges are in tatters, the third looks shaky and the fourth is a bad joke. Less than a month after the election, Greece agreed to extend its second bail-out until the end of June, in the hope of securing the €7.2 billion ($8.1 billion) left in the kitty. The abrasive approach of Mr Tsipras and Mr Varoufakis since then may have played well at home, but abroad it has won Greece nothing but mistrust and scorn.

This has had two results. http://www.economist.com/news/europe/21650600-its-first-hundred-days-greeces-government-has-failed-dismally-crunch-looms-sorry-saga?fsrc=scn/tw/te/pe/st/thesorrysagaofsyriza

Mikulski, Cardin Lead Maryland Delegation in Requesting Major Disaster Declaration for Baltimore

Mikulski, Cardin Lead Maryland Delegation in Requesting Major Disaster Declaration for Baltimore

May 27, 2015

Delegation asks President Obama to support Governor Hogan’s request for a major disaster declaration as Baltimore recovers from recent unrest

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Barbara A. Mikulski and Ben Cardin (both D-Md.) were joined by members of Maryland’s Congressional Delegation today in sending a letter to President Barack Obama supporting Governor Hogan’s request for a declaration of a major disaster for Baltimore following recent unrest in the city. If awarded, Maryland will become eligible for federal disaster recovery dollars through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), ensuring the state’s already strained budget is not stretched any thinner. The letter was signed by Senators Mikulski and Cardin, as well as U.S. Representatives Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.), Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), John P. Sarbanes (D-Md.), Donna F. Edwards (D-Md.) and John Delaney (D-Md.).

“Following the tragic death of Freddie Gray, citizens of Baltimore reacted with outrage in their demands for truth and their demands for justice,” the Members wrote. “For seven days, from April 25, 2015 through May 1, 2015, the City of Baltimore experienced civil unrest... Maryland and its local jurisdictions have contributed a vast amount of resources, which will continue to have economic impacts around our state. A Major Disaster declaration is necessary to help provide the resources needed by all.”


The full text of the delegation’s letter of support is as follows:

May 26, 2015

The President
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20500

Dear Mr. President:

We are writing to express our strong support for Governor Hogan’s May 21, 2015 request for a Major Disaster declaration for the City of Baltimore. Given the massive impact that the situation in Baltimore is having on the state’s resources, we respectfully request that you urgently approve Federal assistance.

Following the tragic death of Freddie Gray, citizens of Baltimore reacted with outrage in their demands for truth and their demands for justice. For seven days, from April 25, 2015 through May 1, 2015, the City of Baltimore experienced civil unrest. The boiling emotions of a small fraction of Baltimoreans turned into violence and vandalism to homes and businesses that the vast majority of Baltimore’s citizens have been working to rebuild and restore.

Governor Hogan took appropriate action under State law and directed the execution of the State Response Operations Plan in accordance with Section 401 of the Stafford Act. In addition, the Governor issued an Executive Order declaring that a State of Emergency existed and activated the Maryland National Guard to State service. The Governor has certified that additional Federal assistance is needed. The Governor has provided the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with a preliminary damage assessment of over $19 million in expenditures for local jurisdiction law enforcement, security, firefighting, and emergency management costs as well as out-of-state resources required to supplement local and state resources. This Major Disaster declaration is necessary to address emergency protective measures and public buildings and contents per Category B & E of Public Assistance under the Stafford Act. This situation has the potential to negatively impact services in other areas, given an already strained state budget environment.


Maryland and its local jurisdictions have contributed a vast amount of resources, which will continue to have economic impacts around our state. A Major Disaster declaration is necessary to help provide the resources needed by all.  We appreciate your consideration of Maryland’s request, and look forward to continue working with you in this recovery.

News from The Hill: Obama asserts power over small waterways By Timothy Cama

News from The Hill

Obama asserts power over small waterways

By Timothy Cama

The Obama administration asserted its authority Wednesday over the nation's small waterways like streams and wetlands, moving forward on one of the most controversial pollution rules of recent years.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers said they are making final their proposed waters of the United States rule, which Republicans and many businesses have long panned as a massive federal overreach that would put the EPA in charge of ditches, puddles and wet areas.

10 States to Avoid if You Have Poor Driving Skills 05/24/15 By Laurie Kulikowski

10 States to Avoid if You Have Poor Driving Skills 05/24/15 By 

TheStreet) -- Using bad judgment when driving is not only dangerous, but can cost you thousands in insurance premiums.

 http://www.thestreet.com/story/13143555/1/10-worst-states-to-be-a-terrible-driver.html
 [...]
WalletHub's hypothetical driver is a single male, age 37 years, and driving a 2008 Honda Accord.
Dying to know where your state falls on the list for insurance premiums for high risk drivers? Check out the 10 states where it will cost you the most if you're a bad driver. And when you're done, see the top states where it is the cheapest, despite poor driving.
[...]
10.Maryland
Base Annual Premium: $1,626
Maryland is the tenth most expensive state to be a poor driver in. The state is in the top third of most expensive base premiums compared to all 50 states and the District of Columbia. And being a bad driver will really pile on the cost. For instance, getting into two accidents in two years in Maryland adds $2,015 to annual premiums. Getting a DUI conviction adds $827 per year, according to WalletHub.
