Caroline and hiked in the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge

Friday, June 26, 2026: Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, 4005 Sandpiper Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23456 www.fws.gov/refuge/back-bay

Caroline and hiked in the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge: Located in the southeastern corner of Virginia Beach, the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1938. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, its primary mission is to protect and provide habitat for migrating and wintering waterfowl.

The refuge encompasses a diverse array of habitats—including beachfront, freshwater marsh, dunes, shrub-scrub, and upland forest—which support hundreds of species of birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and fish. To maintain these ecosystems, staff manage a freshwater impoundment complex that provides essential feeding and resting areas for waterfowl during the winter, while serving as habitat for shorebirds and wading birds during other seasons.

For visitors, the refuge grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset. The area offers a variety of recreational opportunities, such as hiking, biking, wildlife observation, photography, and both surf and freshwater fishing. Additionally, the refuge collaborates with the adjacent False Cape State Park to offer tram tours that explore the natural history of the area and the site of the historic Wash Woods community.

Maritime Fire Response is the keynote presentation at Maryland State Firefighters Association Convention

Maritime Fire Response is the keynote presentation at Maryland State Firefighters Association Convention 

Maritime emergencies were the focus of a keynote presentation during the Maryland St. Firefighters Assoc. Convention on Tues., 23Je2026


OCEAN CITY, Md. — Tuesday, June 23, 2026 - The growing challenges posed by shipboard fires and maritime emergencies were the focus of a keynote presentation during the third general session of the Maryland State Firefighters Association Convention on Tuesday, June 23. 


Geoffrey Donahue, Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response for the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE,) delivered a well-researched and documented address titled “Shipboard Fires and Maritime Response Considerations,” providing firefighters and emergency responders with a detailed look at the unique hazards associated with maritime incidents.

Drawing on decades of emergency response experience, Donahue examined recent maritime emergencies and outlined the operational, environmental, and logistical factors that distinguish shipboard fires from traditional structure or industrial incidents. 

The presentation highlighted how the increasing size and complexity of modern vessels, combined with the movement of hazardous cargoes through ports and waterways, creates a demanding environment for emergency responders.

Donahue, who leads Maryland’s emergency preparedness and response programs and has nearly 35 years of experience in hazardous materials and emergency response operations, emphasized that shipboard incidents often require responders to operate within confined spaces, navigate unfamiliar vessel layouts, and contend with extreme heat conditions that can rapidly escalate an emergency. 

In addition to directing MDE’s emergency response operations, he serves as an instructor in firefighting, hazardous materials, and rescue disciplines through the University of Maryland’s Fire and Rescue Institute.

A central theme of the presentation was the importance of environmental protection during maritime emergencies. Fires aboard vessels can involve fuel oils, chemicals, hazardous cargo, and other contaminants that pose significant threats to waterways and coastal ecosystems. 


Donahue explained the role of the Maryland Department of the Environment in coordinating environmental response efforts and mitigating the impact of hazardous materials released during maritime incidents. Protecting both public safety and natural resources, he noted, requires a coordinated response strategy that extends beyond traditional firefighting operations.


The keynote also underscored the necessity of interagency cooperation. Maritime incidents often involve multiple stakeholders, including local fire departments, port authorities, vessel operators, environmental agencies, law enforcement, and federal response organizations. 


Donahue stressed that successful outcomes depend on effective communication, unified command structures, and pre-established partnerships that allow agencies to work seamlessly during emergencies. These collaborative efforts are especially important in Maryland, where commercial shipping, recreational boating, and critical maritime infrastructure play significant roles in the state's economy and transportation network.


Participants also heard analyses of recent maritime incidents from around the country, with lessons learned serving as case studies for improving firefighter safety and operational effectiveness. Donahue encouraged departments to incorporate maritime response scenarios into training programs and emergency planning efforts, particularly for agencies serving coastal communities, inland ports, and waterways connected to the Chesapeake Bay.


The presentation resonated with attendees as the fire service continues to adapt to emerging hazards, including larger cargo vessels, alternative fuel technologies, and the transportation of lithium-ion battery-powered vehicles. These developments are creating new challenges for emergency responders and reinforcing the need for specialized training and preparedness.

By the conclusion of the session, attendees gained a greater appreciation for the complexities of maritime firefighting and the importance of coordinated planning among local, state, and maritime partners. Donahue’s keynote served as both a technical briefing and a reminder that effective emergency response increasingly requires a multidisciplinary approach capable of addressing public safety, environmental protection, and operational resilience simultaneously.

The keynote was part of the Maryland State Firefighters Association’s annual convention and educational conference, which brings together firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and public safety leaders from across Maryland to share knowledge, discuss emerging challenges, and strengthen the capabilities of the state’s emergency response community.

Annual 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County Horse Fair scheduled for Sunday, March 29, 2026


Annual 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County Horse Fair scheduled for Sunday, March 29, 2026

Sunday, March 29, 2026: Today is the annual 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County Horse Fair at the Carroll County Ag Center from 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County is having their Horse Fair and Tack Sale today, on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at the Carroll County Agriculture Center. This fundraiser helps support all aspects of our program.

The 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County provides persons with disabilities the opportunity to benefit from a continuous program of therapeutic horseback riding in a safe environment, under the instruction of professionally trained staff, at a local facility.  

The Horse Fair is the primary fund-raising event for the program. The Horse Fair includes vendor tables with new and used horse related items and services, along with presentations by professionals in equine related fields.

What is Therapeutic Riding?

Therapeutic riding is an individualized program of learning to ride a horse which considers a person's physical, mental, and emotional strengths and limitations. The horses, staff, and volunteers involved in therapeutic riding have all been carefully selected and trained to accommodate the physical, mental, or social disabilities of the rider.

Improved physical strength, balance, mobility and coordination are accomplished through the physical act of riding a horse. Increased attention, concentration, learning, and verbal skills are inherent in learning the skills necessary to ride successfully. Bonding with the horse, making new friends, and respecting authority are some of the social improvements we see. Improvements in self-esteem, self-control, and confidence also arise from the experience of success in learning to ride. Therapeutic riding is fun and effective!

Mission Statement

The 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County will provide persons with disabilities the opportunity to benefit from a continuous program of therapeutic horseback riding, in a safe environment, under the instruction of professionally trained staff, at a locally available facility.

It is the policy of the MD Cooperative Extension that no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the grounds of race, color gender, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital or parental status, or disability.

Westminster Celtic Canter Irish Festival kicks off the city’s annual series of community festivals.

Westminster Celtic Canter Irish Festival kicks off the city’s annual series of community festivals.

Westminster MD March 14, 2026 – The luck of the Irish was on full display in Westminster today as the city kicked off its 2026 community festival series with the annual Celtic Canter. The weather little windy and chilly, however the weather for the event was certainly a change from the cold temperatures of earlier in the week and certainly better that a year or two when it snowed. 

The Irish Celebration and Celtic Run Fest transformed Main Street into a sea of green from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, featuring a packed schedule of races, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities. 

Co-founded by Dr. Patrick Gallagher and the Gallagher and Kuhn Dental Group—who continue to serve as lead sponsors—the event was officially hosted by the City of Westminster’s Recreation and Parks, Street, and Police Departments.

The morning's athletic events began at 9:00 AM with the signature Celtic Canter 5K, followed by the 1-Mile Leprechaun Chase at 10:15 AM. 

For those seeking a more lighthearted challenge, the 0.5K "Don’t Miss the Point!" race took place at 11:00 AM; which featured the Westminster Mayor and Common Council: Westminster Mayor Dr. Mayor Mona Becker, Westminster, Westminster Common Council President Tony Chiavacci, and Councilmembers Daniel Hoff and Kevin Dayhoff Westminster

These "canters" served a greater purpose beyond fitness, with proceeds benefiting both Crossroads Church and Target Community & Educational Services, Inc.

Attendees also enjoyed a variety of specialized attractions, including a "Kids Kingdom" featuring a Shamrock Spray Salon and face painting, as well as a unique Whiskey and Chocolate Pairing that required pre-registration.

Main Street remained vibrant throughout the day with a Vendor Village showcasing Irish-inspired arts, crafts, and fare. Live music fueled the festive atmosphere, with DJ Thumper spinning from early morning and the band Risky Shenanigans taking the stage at 9:30 AM. 

Unique demonstrations by Maryland Training in Historical Swordsmanship also added to the day's entertainment. 

As the morning festivities concluded, the celebration transitioned into a pub crawl from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, supported by free trolley rides available until 5:00 PM to ensure a safe and spirited end to the holiday tradition.

With Steve Strawsburg Jr, Westminster Police Department, City of Westminster Recreation & Parks Department Greg Pecoraro Gallagher & Kuhn Dental Group

How to really get rid of Quick Access in Win 11 file explorer?

How to really get rid of Quick Access in Win 11 file explorer?

Let many folks, after going to Windows 11 I have been plagued by bloat ware and unneeded features. I recently came across this helpful guide in a Microsoft chat room dated April 3, 2024: 

“I've read the prior posts on getting rid of Quick Access in File Explorer, which say to click the three dots … click Options, select the General tab, then uncheck the boxes under Privacy. THIS DOES NOT WORK - - Quick Access still shows for me.

“The best method I've found is to go into the General tab in Options then change "Open File Explorer to:" from "Home" to "This PC". It's the closest I've gotten to getting rid of another unneeded "feature" of Widows 11 (one down, many more to go). I encourage others to try it.”

This fix worked for me. Thank heavens.

Carroll County Maryland: Airport expansion back on track


Carroll County Maryland: Airport expansion back on track

 

Land Acquisition Case Concludes Clearing Path for Airport Safety Enhancements

 Carroll County MD Government sent this bulletin on 10/17/2025:

Westminster, MD, Friday, October 17, 2025 – “For nearly two decades, the Board of Commissioners (Board) has been evaluating and planning runway safety enhancements to meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements at the Carroll County Regional Airport. The improvements will include expanding the existing runway from 5,100 feet to the FAA standard of 5,500 feet.

“The county has been in negotiations with the landowner, and while both parties understood the need for the land, they were unable to agree on reimbursement. The project requires three-tenths of an acre for the county to own and an avigation easement over much of the rest of the property. The negotiations led to the jury trial and its decision to award $3.5 million to the property owner.

“FAA representatives are aware of the decision and support the county’s acquisition of the land and avigation easement. As a result, the Board expects the FAA to reimburse the county for 90% of the $3.5 million, and the Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) to cover 5%. The county will be responsible for the remaining 5%, or approximately $175,000.

“‘While the Board fully supports and upholds the rights of property owners, the acquisition of this property was necessary to ensure the airport meets required safety standards,’ said Board President Kenny Kiler. ‘Although we did not anticipate the jury awarding compensation for the full value of the property when only a portion was required, we understand the reasoning that the remaining land would have limited potential once the improvements are completed. The Board is pleased this matter has been resolved and looks forward to the successful completion of the enhancement project.’”
