WJZ-TV reporter Mike Schuh and the Liberty Ship S.S. Brown



WJZ-TV reporter Mike Schuh and the Liberty Ship S.S. Brown

September 18, 2015 Kevin E. Dayhoff


I am researching and writing a story on the Liberty Ship the S.S. JOHN W. BROWN,
http://www.ssjohnwbrown.org/, and I was delighted to run across a recent story the upcoming October 3, 2015, last cruise of the season, by WJZ-TV reporter, Mike Schuh.

I have worked with Mr. Schuh for over fifteen years on both sides of the reporter’s notebook - as an elected official and a newspaper reporter and I can always depend upon his stuff to be accurate – and quite entertaining.

After I left office I was curious about who would return my phone calls. After being out of office for a while, I was involved in a community project, the now-annual Westminster Christmas parade, and I called Mr. Schuh up and asked him if he would help be a parade judge.

Not only did he call me back right away, but he immediately said that he would help and then went out of his way to lend me a hand. I later figured-out that the parade event occurred at a crazy time in his personal and profession schedule and yet not only did he go out of his way to help; he did it well and never complained. And working with him was so incredibly easy.

My rule is that it is not good enough to be the best – you have to be nice. Mike Schuh is super-people. Just saying.

Anyway, Mr. Schuh’s piece on the Liberty ship, the S.S. Brown may be found here: “Baltimore Org. Dedicated To Preserving History, Provides Unique Cruise,” September 16, 2015: http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2015/09/16/baltimore-org-dedicated-to-preserving-history-provides-unique-cruise/

“BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Project Liberty Ship, which is a Baltimore-based non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the last remaining troop transport from WWII as a living memorial, is providing visitors with an opportunity to tour it and go on a cruise. WJZ’s Mike Schuh reports, the organization is a rare link to the past and needs your help…”

“Welcome aboard S.S. JOHN W. BROWN, one of only two remaining, fully operational Liberty ships that participated in World War II. This wonderful piece of history provides an educational and historical opportunity for the public to experience 1944 all over again, without the dangers of being sunk by a submarine or a torpedo bomber!

“Through the efforts of talented and dedicated volunteers, coupled with the generous financial support of members and friends, S.S. JOHN W. BROWN continues to educate by operating as a historic museum ship, furnishing visitors with a unique opportunity to experience "living history" of the World War II merchant marine.

WJZ-TV Channel 13 Baltimore MD: Westminster Deactivating Most Red Light Cameras On Concerns They’re Causing Accidents





WESTMINSTER, Md. (WJZ)– Westminster is putting a stop to most of their red light cameras. Police say they may have been causing more accidents than they were preventing.

Andrea Fujii has the story.

After more than two years, the red light cameras at Route 97 and Route 140 in Westminster have been turned off. The City Council voted Monday to deactivate them.

“These cameras were not in a break-even mode. They were literally costing the city taxpayers money,” Chief Jeff Spaulding of the Westminster Police Department said.

They were meant to make the intersection safer and generate revenue, but police say they did neither.

Baltimore & Mayor Dixon Are Targets Of Hoax

BALTIMORE (WJZ) Aug 28, 2009 4:54 pm US/Eastern

The mayor and some journalists are mad at a man who used Baltimore to take a satirical look at the crime in England.

Sophia Litrenta raised $2,000 for the city's Mounted Police Patrol.


A tight city budget is threatening the historic Baltimore Police Mounted Patrol Unit, which needs $150,000 to stay open.

At the crack of dawn Thursday morning, Mike Schuh met with Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld to give an exclusive look at how a 9-year-old girl stepped up to help.

Thursday will be a day third grader Sophia Litrenta will always remember. But it's what she's done that will be remembered by many.

Sophia set up a lemonade stand to raise money for Baltimore City's Mounted Police.

[…]

Sophia took in more than $2,000 in just two hours at her lemonade stand.

[…]

The Mounted Patrol Unit is the longest continuously-running unit in the entire country. It has been in action since 1888.

Sophia's parents say they will continue to collect money and turn all the donations over to police.
