New Traffic Light at 424/Gov Br. Intersection

From The South River Source:

A permanent traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of Governor Bridge Road and Route 424 in Davidsonville before the end of the year according to the State Highway Administration. The traffic signal will replace the blinking light that is currently in place at this busy crossroad.

 

State Highway spokesman Charlie Gischlar said work will begin on November 15 and will be finished  before Christmas.

According to Gischlar, the cost to install the new traffic signal is $34,000. Signal caps, lights and traffic responsive cameras will be added to the existing infrastructure.

Gischlar said once installed, the traffic light will be put on flash mode for three days to help motorists become familiar with the new stop light.  Signs will also be posted along the two intersecting roadways to advise motorists of the new signal.

In 2007, a temporary stop light was installed at Governor Bridge Road and Route 424 to help re-direct traffic while the Patuxent River Bridge was under construction. The traffic signal was turned to a blinking light once the work was finished.

Driver in July Death On 424 Faces Charges

By Tim Prudente, tprudente@capgaznews.com

3:39 p.m. EDT, October 28, 2014

    A night light shines stars and a moon on her bedroom ceiling.    "Good night, stars. Good night, moon," the girl would say with her father.

    Now Brooklyn Humphrey adds, "Good night, daddy."

    The 2-year-old Edgewater girl was told her father went to heaven.

    T.J. Humphrey died July 30 from injuries in a motorcycle crash. The 66-year-old Bowie woman who, police say, drove a car into the young father's path was cited Friday with negligent driving and failing to yield a right-of-way.

    Peggy Armstead Minnis faces fines of $280 and $750. A court date has not been scheduled.

"I don't hold it against her," Amy Humphrey said. "All I would like is just an apology. Hearing from her that she didn't mean to do it, that she's sorry — it would mean a lot."

    In 2012, Amy married T.J. Humphrey. He graduated from Bowie High School in 2002. He worked at Severn Autobody on West Street in Annapolis and was 30 when he died.

    Amy Humphrey is 27 and raising their children: Brooklyn and a 3-month-old son, Jaxon. Painful reminders live in the smile and blue eyes of Jaxon. He was born twelve days before his father died.

Last month, Amy Humphrey returned to work at Subway Auto Body in Odenton.

    T.J. Humphrey struck a Toyota Avalon the afternoon of July 26. He was driving north of Davidsonville, at the intersection of Davidsonville and Governor Bridge roads.    He had fed his boy, kissed his wife, and gone for a ride on his Harley-Davidson Sportster.

    Police say Minnis pulled from a flashing stop signal into his path. He was wearing a noncompliant helmet, police say.

    A man at Minnis' home said she would not talk to The Capital about the crash.

    Friends of the Humphreys began an online fundraiser and collected about $50,600 for the Edgewater family. Fundraisers were held at an Edgewater Hair Cuttery and Baltimore County steakhouse. A friend built a wooden cross placed at the intersection.

    "Everybody has done so much," Amy Humphrey said. "It's a blessing."

    She told her daughter T.J. lives in heaven with the stars and moon.    One night, Brooklyn stretched toward the ceiling to reach him.

    Philippine native Mahal May of Davidsonville, shown above,  has been involved in Showstoppers since  retiring in 2010 from the U.S. Department of Education, where she had been employed in the Office of English Language Acquisition.

    The former Ms. Maryland Senior America of 2012 is part of the core group of Showstoppers dancers but also performs solo as a hula dancer and with a group of belly dancers.

    When not dancing, she's active in water aerobics, Tai Chi, yoga and private belly dancing classes led by Joanne DeWilde.

   This September,  The Showstoppers also performed  at the Anne Arundel County Fair.

The group,  founded in 2007,  received the Governor's Leadership in Aging Award for Best Performing Arts program in senior centers statewide in 2011

All Hallows Memorial To Slaves

From the South River Source:

All Hallows Parish to Dedicate Memorial to Enslaved Laborers

 

Four Episcopal Bishops will visit historic All Hallows Episcopal Church on Saturday, November 1 to commemorate the first baptism of an African in the Diocese of Maryland on January 22, 1698.  This event is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland’s Truth and Reconciliation Pilgrimage which is planned to coincide with the 150^th anniversary of Maryland’s Constitutional Amendment of 1864 which abolished slavery in Maryland.

This event will also honor All Hallows’ first official rector, Joseph Colbatch (served 1697-1734), who broke tradition as he baptized hundreds of free and enslaved blacks and conducted inter-racial marriages and burials of slaves.  Rector, Alistair So, will conduct a brief church service, focusing on the importance of truth, reconciliation and our commitment to the future.  Senior Warden, Kathy Kenney, will address the guests, providing a summary of All Hallows’ past relationship to slavery.  The historical baptismal documents will be on display as well.

The Rt. Rev. Eugene Taylor Sutton, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland will dedicate and bless a memorial monument honoring the enslaved laborers who helped build and maintain All Hallows Parish.

There is no admittance fee or pre-registration required to attend this event at All Hallows.  All are welcome to attend.  The visiting prelates are Katharine Jefferts Schori, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church; Eugene Taylor Sutton, Bishop of the Diocese of Maryland; Heather Cook, Bishop Suffragan of the Diocese of Maryland; and Mariann Budde, Bishop of the Diocese of Washington. This is the first visit by a presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States and overseas to All Hallows in its 350-year history.   

Numbering about 100 people, the pilgrimage is part of the Diocesan Commission on Truth and Reconciliation to recognize the role of slavery in Episcopal Church history.  After visiting All Hallows, the pilgrimage will continue to All Saints Church in Sunderland, to Grace Church in Silver Spring, and finally to the Bishop Claggett Center in Buckeystown.  For information about the pilgrimage visit http://trailofsouls.org/.

All Hallows Parish is an historic church that began in 1692.  All Hallows is part of the Episcopal Church, Diocese of Maryland, and serves the greater community of Anne Arundel County in Maryland.
