Experienced U.K. Rider Dies When Lead Rope Wraps Around Her Neck

How many of us have thoughtlessly draped a lead rope across our shoulders when we get busy and aren't thinking... "Take just a minute to remind yourself to be careful when you're working with horses, even when you're not mounted. Casually looping a rope around your arm can lead to disaster before you even know it. Stay safe, be careful, and have fun…”

According to the story by Paige Cerulli Retrieved February 23, 2019:

“In a tragic accident, a rider was killed when a lead rope became wrapped around her neck and the horse bolted.

“Kathryn Bull, 39 years old of Nottinghamshire was killed in a tragic accident. Bull, an experienced horseperson, was dragged 450 feet across a field when the rope attached to a horse she was leading became wrapped around her neck…”

An ice storm on February 21, 1902 paralyzed Carroll County

Dayhoff Time Flies: An ice storm on February 21, 1902 paralyzed Carroll County Time Flies Sunday, February 17, 2019 by Kevin Dayhoff

Almost 120 years ago. Carroll County experienced a rain and sleet storm that the American Sentinel newspaper hailed as “The Great Sleet Storm,” according to a published account written for the Historical Society of Carroll County in Feb. 1994 by local historian and Historical Society executive director, now Judge Joe Getty.

[…]

In 1902, Carroll countians were just starting to become dependent on the telephone, telegraph, and electric power. So you can imagine the paralysis which resulted as The Democratic Advocate proclaimed: “The wreck of the system in this city of the Western Maryland Telephone Company was nearly complete. Two-thirds of the poles were down, cross-arms broken off and wires snapped and tangled all over the city, particularly from the railroad east.”

[…]

Lately, February in Maryland has been living up to its reputation and turning into an endurance contest. This column goes best with Antonio Vivaldi’s “L’inverno,” the winter movement of “The Four Seasons” violin concerto written in 1723. Who knew Vivaldi invented heavy metal in 1700s?

Robert Mapplethorpe’s Photography at the Guggenheim…

Who is up for a road trip: JANUARY 23, 2019: See and Be Seen: Robert Mapplethorpe’s Photography at the Guggenheim…

According to an article By Caitlin Dover on the Guggenheim’s website here: https://www.guggenheim.org/blogs/checklist/see-and-be-seen-robert-mapplethorpes-photography-at-the-guggenheim

[…] 

Implicit Tensions: Mapplethorpe Now, which opens this Friday, January 25 at the Guggenheim, presents selections of the artist’s work thirty years after his death. Drawn from extensive holdings gifted to the museum by the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation in 1993, the show includes iconic images of nudes and flowers, explicit depictions of the S&M underground, portraits of the likes of Philip Glass and Andy Warhol, and Mapplethorpe’s intriguing and moving self-portraits.

The exhibition will have two phases; the second phase, which opens in July, will delve into Mapplethorpe’s impact on portraiture and self-representation, showing works by contemporary artists Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Lyle Ashton Harris, Glenn Ligon, Zanele Muholi, Catherine Opie, and Paul Mpagi Sepuya.

Reviewing the art submitted for the magazine Creative Expressions – at Carroll Lutheran Village

Reviewing the art submitted for the magazine Creative Expressions – at Carroll Lutheran Village

A little while ago, just before the holidays I was mailed my copy of the magazine ‘Creative Expressions’ from Carroll Lutheran Village. I set my copy on the corner of my desk to look at later… Well, I finally got a chance to uncover it. It is wonderful to leaf through the magazine with art from the residents at Carroll Lutheran Village. It just seems like yesterday that we did the judging – but it was a number of months ago, that I was among the three local artists that met on Aug. 2, 2018 to select the artwork at Carroll Lutheran Village

On Sunday, September 2, 2018, [Update: 30Dec2018,] the Carroll County Times ran a copy of the picture we took that day in the section called, “Prime,” news for the 55-forward community. Page C3 Sunday, September 2, 2018. [Update: 30Dec2018] Creative Expressions - Three local artists met on Aug. 2 to select the artwork to appear on the covers of Creative Expressions, the annual Carroll Lutheran Village creative magazine produced by residents [that was just recently released.] The artwork was created by Village residents and staff for the 2018 issue of Creative Expressions.

#SavingLives #Training The training never stops

#SavingLives #Training The training never stops. Caroline and I are taking a recertification class for CPR, AED, and first aid along with the instructors and volunteers with the 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County; in the training room at the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1.

As a group, we have been taking this class together for about 20-years. We have 15 in the class. Westminster Fire Company firefighter and EMS provider Ed Burrell is the instructor. 

This is the first time we have taken the class at the fire company. The Westminster fire company has recently begun an initiative to provide various emergency response classes. Having a working EMS provider is a great advantage because the instructor can provide real-life experience insights for the class. February 18, 2019 Monday.

Yesterday, 17feb2019, we attended the 7:45 a.m. service at Grace Lutheran Church.

Yesterday, 17feb2019, we attended the 7:45 a.m. service at Grace Lutheran Church so that we could also go to the breakfast at the Reese fire hall. We really enjoyed the breakfast and saw lots of neat people, including Commissioner Dick Weaver and his wife, Lila.

Feb. 11, 2019 meeting of the Westminster mayor and Common Council

Feb. 11, 2019

What a difference a month makes. A month ago there was standing room only at the Jan. 14, 2019 meeting of the Westminster mayor and Common Council. Monday, in the middle of the snow storm, there were less than 10 folks in the audience and the meeting lasted 15 minutes. I am not quite sure if that is a record or not – but if it is not a record, it is close to it.
