Why A Fire Chaplain?

http://www.springtwp.com/chaplain.html

Springfield Township, Akron Ohio

“He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.” --- (SofS 2:4)

Retrieved November 25, 2013

Travis Case, Pastor/Teacher Northgate Baptist Church

I will attempt to answer the question: “What is a Fire Chaplain and what is his/her purpose. First, a Fire Chaplain is not a spokesperson for the Fire Department and he does not get involved in Departmental policies or politics. Neither is a Fire Chaplain there for the purpose of proselytizing converts to his particular church.

A Fire Chaplain's primary focus is on the needs of the Fire Department and whatever situation the Firefighters encounter where the Chaplain may be of service to both the Firefighters and the community the Fire Department serves.

A part of the everyday life of any fire department is the coping with stressful situations that arise from encounters with battling fires and emergency situations. When people fall apart upon discovering they are burned out of their homes, or have lost all their belongings, or worse yet, have lost a loved one, how can Firefighters handle these demands for attention in addition to fighting the fire.

Halloween: Gist worried about being forgotten, but not quite gone

October 28^th, 2007 by Kevin Dayhoff

“Gist worried about being forgotten, but not quite gone” is one of my favorite Halloween stories among many. I wrote it for the Sunday Eagle, under the working title of “Ghost Stories in Carroll County.” It was published in the newspaper on October 28^th, 2007.

Of the horror stories of Carroll’s yesteryear, none was greater than the very real fear of being buried alive. In today’s world, society’s collective faith in the modern advances of the medical arts has gone a long way in alleviating the fear of being buried alive; a fear which was rampant in the 1800s.

A few years ago, local historian Jay Graybeal retold an account by Ruth Gist Pickens about the fear of being buried alive held by one of Carroll County’s most prominent citizens in the 1700s, Colonel Joshua Gist.

It seems that Colonel Gist maintained a coffin in a portion of his bedroom for the last years of his life; “into which he would have his personal servant lay him out and then call the family to comment on his appearance. Each time he would ask them to promise not to bury him until the third day after his death.” ………… http://www.scribd.com/doc/39632160/Halloween-Gist-worried-about-being-forgotten-but-not-quite-gone

10 Things Only Runners Understand

10 Things Only Runners Understand:

"Chad Stafko asked a very valid question in his recent opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal titled "OK, You're a Runner. Get Over It:"

"Why would someone want to get up at 5 a.m. and run 10 miles," he wrote, "adorned with fluorescent tape to avoid being struck by someone who has the good sense to use a car for a 10-mile journey?"

Why, indeed. When you consider the time, effort and physical and mental stamina required, running can seem pretty daunting. But there's a magic to it, a secret understanding shared among members of the "club".

We asked our Facebook fans and Twitter followers who run to share with us the one thing only runners understand. This is why we run."

TheTentacle.com Migrating to Windows 8

TheTentacle.com: Migrating to Windows 8 June 12, 2013 Kevin E. Dayhoff

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5828

My latest experience with Microsoft has left me with the technological equivalent of post-traumatic stress disorder. In the last six-months I have migrated light years from the Microsoft Windows XP operating system to Windows 8. It was not easy.

I’m told the twitching and the nightmares will stop with the passage of time and copious amounts of coffee. When I finally pulled the plug on my old laptop for the last time, I had this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach as if I had just taken a loved-one off of life support.

That feeling was quickly replaced by the sheer terror of dealing with an improved computer system in which I could no longer easily perform so many of the functions I had executed effortlessly in the previous, now obsolete, system.

The Microsoft Windows operating systems have been a major force in the modern-era of technology and personal computing. The roots of the software system date back to 1981, although the first version, Windows 1.0 was not available for consumer use until late in 1985.

One of the most popular and widely used systems in history has been the Windows XP system, which was introduced in August 2001, and dominated the market until Windows 7 (released in 2009,) overtook it in August 2012. Windows 8 was released in October 2012.

According to multiple media accounts, “it is reported that when you play the Microsoft operating system installation CD backwards you can hear satanic voices ... but that's nothing. If you play it forward it will install Windows 8…”

Norn Covert - Former Fort Detrick spokesman enjoys Scout duties in retirement

'Very Boy Scoutish'

Former Fort Detrick spokesman enjoys Scout duties in retirement

By Courtney Mabeus News-Post Staff

http://www.fredericknewspost.com/arts_and_entertainment/arts_and_entertainment_topics/history/article_67d922e7-8ab4-5fff-a0dc-54c7382f8b16.html?mode=jqm

An orange devil’s food cake sat on Norm Covert’s dining table waiting to be auctioned off.

Covert had spent part of a recent afternoon baking the cake to benefit his 10-year-old grandson Nicholas’ Cub Scout Pack 1055, of which he is associate Scoutmaster.

The cake — intended to look like a pumpkin — looked more like a curling stone or maybe a bomb, Covert joked. He used marshmallows to help shore up a hole in the top around a banana that he’d used as the cake’s stem.

“That’s very Boy Scoutish,” Covert said of his handiwork.

Covert, 70, directed public affairs and worked as a historian on Fort Detrick for 23 years before he retired in 1999. While no longer on post daily, he spends his days about a mile away from the base, working in his home office on his volunteer duties.

“I’m probably working as long hours now as I was when I was working,” Covert said.

A stroke in January set him back, but Covert is beginning to get back to writing. He runs a blog, the Covert Letter, and is a contributor to The Tentacle, a Frederick commentary site.

The Thai restaurant at 17 East Main Street in Westminster MD recently changed hands.

http://westminster.patch.com/groups/kevin-e-dayhoffs-blog/p/the-thai-restaurant-at-17-east-main-street-recently-changed-hands

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Welcome to the Tim Thai Classic restaurant in Westminster.

Eating at an ethnic restaurant is certainly nothing new in Carroll County. Ever since William Winchester founded Westminster in 1764 on one of the three main roads in Maryland for travelers headed west, there has always been a strong restaurant tradition in town.

By Kevin E. Dayhoff

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

Last Friday night, November 15, 2013, after John and Debby Sosnowsky’s opening at Off Track Art, John, Debby and Corrie Sosnowsky, Bobby Waddell, Linda Van Hart, Caroline Babylon and I went over to the Tim Thai Classic restaurant in Westminster at 17 East Main Street for some food and fellowship.

There has been a restaurant at 17 East Main Street as long as most folks can remember. It is believed that the “Central Restaurant” was located there as far back as the 1950s. Much more research will be needed to determine when the Central Restaurant opened and closed. Phone books from the very early 1950s show a “Central Restaurant” located in Hampstead at 20 South Main Street, but not in Westminster.

The 1952 Westminster phone directory shows Acme Market at 1 East Main Street; Treat Shop – owned by the Burk Family – at 5 East Main; the Carroll Pastry Shop at 7 East Main; “The American Restaurant” at 9 East Main; The Coffman-Fisher Co. Dept. Store at 11 East Main; Hollander’s Home & Auto Supplies at 13 East Main; Read’s Drug and Chemical C0 at 15 East Main; and 17 is listed for “Dryden, Clarence C, Helen F Myrtle… Kipe Doris, Larry E Martin.” Are we understand that it was a residence in 1952?

The 1954 phone directory does not show a listing for a restaurant. (It does give my address as 40 Ward Avenue in Westminster.)

In recent years, 17 East Main Street has been a Thai restaurant for many-many years. However, we were not aware that it recently changed hands.

Although the new owners of the Thai restaurant at 17 East Main Street have repainted some of the walls and are in the process of changing a few things around; the food and the service were still wonderful.

I had the vegetable fried rice, spring rolls, and shitake soup; plus a little of this and a little of that off of my friends’ plates. Caroline had the eggplant tofu. It was all delicious. And the service was friendly, conversational, personable and personal.

The website, http://www.thaiclassiconline.com/ notes, “We have recently changed ownership and management. As such our menu (now posted) will be changing.

“Our offerings are individually cooked in the traditional way. Thai and other Asian foods that have been "tweaked" for American tastes. “Come in and try our Tom Kha (coconut soup) and taste the balance of sweetness and tartness…”

In addition to an article in the Baltimore Sun on February 11, 2013, I have written quite a number of articles on restaurants, inns, hotels and saloons in Westminster…

Harry Potter stamp riles Postal Service panel, traditional stamp collectors - The Washington Post

Harry Potter stamp riles Postal Service panel, traditional stamp collectors - The Washington Post:

"By Lisa Rein, Published: November 18 E-mail the writer

For more than half a century, a committee of cultural heavyweights has met behind closed doors, its deliberations kept secret, weighing the faces and images of Americana worthy of gracing U.S. postage stamps. While its rulings have been advisory, they long carried the weight of writ.

Now comes a youngster from across the seas. He isn’t what these leading lights from the fields of arts and letters, athletics, and philately had in mind. For one, he seems kind of crass to some. And worse, he isn’t even American." ... http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/harry-potter-stamp-riles-postal-service-panel-traditional-stamp-collectors/2013/11/18/95d8ebb2-4d7a-11e3-ac54-aa84301ced81_story.html?wpisrc=nl_politics
