Bare Trees

Bare Trees

Bare Trees
January 21, 2009
Reminded me of the “Bare Trees” album by “Fleetwood Mac.”
However, while I was looking for a video of “Bare Trees” on YouTube, I ran across “Hypnotized,” which I felt went better with the picture.

Written by bob welch.

Its the same kind of story

That seems to come down from long ago

Two friends having coffee together

When something flies by their window

It might be out on that lawn

Which is wide, at least half of a playing field

Because theres no explaining what your imagination

Can make you see and feel

Seems like a dream

(they) got me hypnotized

Now its not a meaningless question

To ask if theyve been and gone

I remember a talk about north

Carolina and a strange, strange pond

You see the sides were like glass

In the thick of a forest without a road

And if any mans ever made that land

Then I think it wouldve showed

Seems like a dream

(they) got me hypnotized

They say theres a place down in mexico

Where a man can fly over mountains and hills

And he dont need an airplane or some kind of engine

And he never will

Now you know its a meaningless question

To ask if those stories are right

cause what matters most if the feeling

You get when youre hypnotized

Seems like a dream

(they) got me hypnotized

Westminster celebrates 250 years and Arbor Day with tree planting - The Advocate of Westminster and Finksburg: News

Posted: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 By Jon Kelvey Advocate Staff Writer

The City of Westminster is celebrating its 250th birthday this year —
its sestercentennial — and as a kick-off to a series of anniversary-themed
celebrations across the calendar, the city will plant a sapling taken from a
white oak tree that was standing when Westminster was founded...

While Silicon Valley start-ups reinvent the world, most government agencies can only dream of being innovators. Basic competence on tech projects is a struggle, as the rollout of HealthCare.com illustrated.

Denise Elaine Frebertshauser, 45, passed away peacefully on April 16, 2014

Denise Elaine Frebertshauser, age 45 of Harwood, Maryland passed away peacefully on April 16, 2014 at the University of Maryland Medical Center, with family and friends by her side.

Born on March 11, 1969 in Westminster, she was the daughter of Donald E. Frebertshauser and Rose M. Hahn Frebertshauser of Westminster. She is survived by her brother, Drew Frebertshauser, Spring Grove,  PA and friend Holly Givler, Hanover, PA and niece Dakota Frebertshauser; aunts and uncles David and Jill Frebertshauser, Alice and Jim Eckard,  and Paul and Anna Hahn, Jr. Westminster.  She was an adored “Auntie” to Jacob and Drew Bjerknes and Berlin Dunn. She was preceded in death by close friend Bonnie Dunn in 2010. Her infectious love of life and learn by doing spirit through the 4-H program and ACA camping, gathered many wonderful friends who circled her with love and devotion throughout the years.

Denise was a 1987 graduate of Westminster High School, and then went on to graduate from the University of Maryland, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources with a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Food Science. She began a 5 year career of growing kids into competent caring and nurturing adults in the Baltimore County 4-H program with Adventures in Science and camping. From 1997- 2005, Denise as an extension educator in the Carroll County 4-H program expanded her natural resource and teen leadership focus. Denise’s mantra, “Get a child outside,” was frequently heard. She believed a supportive natural environment where adults and youth could interact developed a child’s head, heart, hand and health.

Denise was committed to developing the Maryland Patuxent River 4-H Center into a thriving and safe place for urban youth to learn how to become environmental stewards while having fun with hands on educational experiences. Denise’s creative teaching approach was key for developing senior youth mentor partnerships with younger campers. Her respect and interest for the American Indian traditions were often taught. She loved collecting antiques and historical memorabilia.

Denise was currently the Extension Specialist in Environmental Science and Outdoor Education at the University of Maryland Extension 4-H Youth and Development Center. She continued to grow “kids” and adults through science and camping. Denise was a published faculty member with numerous awards for her creativity, teaching, and program outreach. She was honored to receive the President’s award by the Chesapeake Section of the National American Camping Association for her outstanding service.  Denise was most noted for making a difference in the lives of youth and adults. Her “never quit attitude” and “live in the moment” enthusiasm sparked much love and devotion for many youth and adults across Maryland. Death leaves a heart ache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal.

A Memorial Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 at St. John’s (Leisters) Lutheran Church,  827 Leisters Church Rd., Westminster,  with the Reverend Kristin Dubsky officiating.  Burial will follow in Leisters Church Cemetery.  The family will receive friends on Tuesday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the Myers-Durboraw Funeral Home, 91 Willis St., Westminster, and on Wednesday from 10 a.m. until the time of service at the church. 


In lieu of flowers donations may be made to: The Maryland 4-H Foundation, Denise Memorial Camping Fund, 8020 Greenmead Drive, College Park, MD 20740 or the Patuxent River 4-H Center Foundation, INC., Denise Memorial, PO Box 342, Davidsonville, MD 21035.

Obama-Cantor relationship sours - News from The Hill By Mike Lillis

News from The Hill

Obama-Cantor relationship sours By Mike Lillis

How are relations between President Obama and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.)? Well, it's complicated.

Earlier this month, the House majority leader stood by Obama's side as the president signed a pediatric research law championed by Cantor. It marked a rare case of ideological opposites joining forces to move legislation in an election year.

Just two weeks later, the kumbaya moment was old news. The powerful politicians this week traded barbs over which party is to blame for the House's failure to consider immigration reform legislation — a spat suggesting the odds are long that Congress will overhaul the system in 2014.

Flyer, information and entry form for the Easter 5K Run to the Cross April 19, 2014 at Taylorsville United Methodist Church

Flyer, information and entry form for the Easter 5K Run to the Cross April 19, 2014 at Taylorsville United Methodist Church


According to information from the Taylorsville United Methodist Church website, the first ever ‘Run to the Cross’ will take place this Saturday in Taylorsville, Carroll County, Maryland.

If you are looking to get outside after a long-cold winter of being cooped-up inside, this is a great family event for everyone to enjoy – and celebrate spring and Easter. And oh, was it mentioned that there will also be great food available - pulled pork sandwiches. And all the proceeds go to several good causes…

The 5 K run will go from South Carroll High School to Taylorsville United Methodist Church on Saturday, April 19, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. (TUMC). (You can run this or walk this 5 K.)

This 5 K run will travel west on Route 26, cross Route 27 (with State Police help) and travel south on Route 27 to TUMC.

At the end of the race enjoy live music, pulled pork sandwiches (free for runners) and the final awards ceremony.

This run is a joint venture brought to you by TUMC and SCHS’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes. (FCA)

Proceeds will be given to both the FCA and the No More Malaria Campaign. (Every 60 seconds a child dies in Africa of Malaria. This campaign has already cut that number in half, we want to stop deaths from malaria.) Your entry fee will be tax deductible.

There are two ways to register: One is to download the run entry form, fill it out, and mail it back to TUMC along with a check. Please register by April 6th. The registration fee is $10 for students; $15 for SCHS Alum; and $20 for adults.

The second way to register is to click below. Make sure you have a credit card ready and you can register totally on line.

Note there is a 2-4 dollar increase to offset on-line costs.
