Stevensville, MD - Today, Queen Anne’s CountyState’s Attorney and Democratic candidate for Congress in Maryland’s First Congressional District, Frank Kratovil, received the endorsement of the Cecil Whig Newspaper.
The Cecil Whig praised Kratovil’s grasp of the issues affecting the First District and his ability to build consensus saying, “Agricultural concerns are a top priority. The poultry and seafood industry is vital to this part of Maryland. And environmental worries, especially saving the unique ecology of the Chesapeake Bay while at the same time balancing the needs of the agriculture, poultry and seafood industry, require a congressman capable of building a consensus among competing interests. We think Kratovil will be better able to fulfill that role."
By Tom Zirpoli, Carroll County Times Columnist Wednesday, September 03, 2008 I believe the selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin reinforces Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's argument that Sen. John McCain will govern like President Bush.
In selecting Palin, McCain continued the Bush doctrine of ideology over competence. If McCain thinks Palin is ready to be vice president of the United States, I'm frightened to see who he will pick to run FEMA.
My guess is that McCain wanted to pick someone he knew and trusted, like former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge or Sen. Joe Liberman. Both of these men would have attracted moderate and independent voters. But their selection would have upset the core conservative base of the Republican Party, and apparently McCain was not willing to go down that path.
Instead, he selected the governor of Alaska, who he hardly knows, but who has three primary qualifications: She is conservative, she is young and she is a she.
On Saturday afternoon, June 10, the New Athletic Bowl will be formerly dedicated not only to WesternMarylandCollege but to all of CarrollCounty.
The event will be celebrated by a beautiful festival of peace called "The Sheathing of The Sword." Watching the pageant, on the hillside around the bowl, there will be seated people from Carroll and sister counties of the state.
Every day messages are coming in from people in Salisbury, Snow Hill and Easton, from Frederick, Hagerstown and Cumberland, from Baltimore and Washington saying that we may expect full cars from there to witness "The Sheathing of The Sword."
Messages have also come from people in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey. Old students, former residents of the county, acquaintances and some who never even heard of Carroll county, before.
Representatives are expected from the Pan American Union and the American Peace Societies. The flags for one episode are being loaned through the courtesy of The Pan American Union.
Everybody is wondering how in the wide world we have been able to assemble a cast of 1,000 from the college and county. Next time we'll tell you.
As we prepare for this year’s Westminster Road Runners Club Main Street Mile, word spread quickly through the community that one of the patriarchs of the annual event - and the Westminster Road Runners Club, Dr. David Herlocker passed away last Friday, March 21, 2008.
This year’s race will run on Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 and the race will hardly be the same without him.
Dave Herlocker was a well-respected scientist, McDanielCollege professor, runner, community leader, fellow member of GraceLutheranChurch and a good friend… and his passing leaves us sad beyond words.
Please join us as we keep Dave’s many friends and family in our hearts and prayers…

Cleric - Rev. Dr. Lowell F. Ensor, pastor of the MethodistChurch at Westminster - Urges Repeal of Jim Crow Law
Democratic Advocate, March 23, 1945.
Following taken from Baltimore Sun March 18: Rev. Dr.Lowell F. Ensor, pastor of the MethodistChurch at Westminster, yesterday urged support of the repeal of the Jim Crow law in Maryland.
He declared a state that will send citizens to the fighting fronts of the world and at the same time deny to any group of those citizens equal rights, is un-American and un-Christian.
Reference to this law was make in his sermon, in which he also urged opposition to a Senate bill now in the Legislature that would permit sale of alcoholic beverages in Carroll county hotels, and a House bill that would allow pari-mutuel betting on horse racing at Baltimore county and Carroll county fair grounds.
Don’t Start Caring Now by P. Kenneth Burns, the Editor and Writer of Maryland Politics Today
September 16th, 2007
Since I am no longer an elected official and no longer on the Maryland Municipal League Board of Directors, I have lost track of many of the issues in Prince George’s County.I certainly enjoyed working with many of the elected officials…I have always appreciated Wayne Curry and have followed his career for many years – he is a 1971 graduate of WesternMarylandCollege, now McDanielCollege.So my ears perked-up when Mr. Burns mentioned him in a post…
As you all know, Maryland Politics Today is based in South Laurel, Prince George’s County. I grew up in the county and I was a big fan of the Wayne Curry years. Wayne Curry was CountyExecutive from 1994-2002, a man with more integrity than our current CountyExecutive Jack Johnson…
Curry did his best in attracting business to the county, in addition, he also boosted county pride in us, the residents. He was first to tell the media to don’t dare call it P.G.County. He took to little steps to show that the county can handle upscale retail.
I was delighted to receive an e-mail earlier today from Coach Jack Molesworth’s son, John Molesworth.
Mr. Molesworth called to my attention that the Baltimore Sun had a write-up about Coach Molesworth in the Wednesday, September 5, 2007 edition of the paper.And that “Paul Gordon is writing a piece in next week's Frederick Gazette.”We’ll look forward to Mr. Gordon’s story…
I played football for WestminsterHigh School from 1968 to 1971 and would attend an occasional then-Western Maryland College football game during Coach Molesworth’s tenure there.Although I only knew him well enough to exchange hellos, I was always impressed with the high regard for which he was held in the community.
Fortunately there are many folks in central Maryland who have worked hard and touched many lives.However Coach Molesworth was one of those rare individuals who leave an enduring legacy preparing many young men and women for a future of accomplishment.
Meanwhile, if you are not familiar with the life’s work of Coach Molesworth, be sure to read Fred Rasmussen’s piece in the Baltimore Sun.
I have been a fan of Mr. Rasmussen’s stellar writing for many years and he comprehensively captured the essence of this amazing individual.But then again, we would’ve expected nothing less from Mr. Rasmussen.
[ Age 80 ] Former director of Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association also coached college football.
By Frederick N. Rasmussen | Sun reporter, September 5, 2007
John E. "Jack" Molesworth, former executive director of the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association and a Western Maryland College football coach, died Friday at FrederickMemorialHospital of complications from a fall. He was 80.
[…]
In 1948, Mr. Molesworth enrolled at WesternMarylandCollege, where he played center for the Green Terrors football team and boxed.
"He was tall and lanky and always played with a lot of heart. He was also a member of our 1951 undefeated football team," said Victor J. Makovitch, a teammate who became a CarrollCounty school principal.
"He also ran a successful college catering business with Leroy Merritt, his roommate," said his college sweetheart and wife of 55 years, the former Nancy Walker, a retired FrederickCounty teacher. "They cooked and delivered hot dogs to students in the dorms."
After earning a bachelor's degree in history in 1952, Mr. Molesworth was a teacher and assistant football coach at MountAiryHigh School, St. Paul's School and WestminsterHigh School…
From 1957 to 1966, he was head coach and director of athletics at FrederickHigh School and worked in a similar capacity at Gov. Thomas Johnson High School from 1966 to 1971. In 1971, he was appointed vice principal of WestminsterHigh School, which opened that year…
[…]
"He was the consummate professional," said Sam Case, a retired Western Maryland provost. "He believed in the educational process and always put his kids and players first. In his coaching, he always exhibited the highest ideals in integrity and sportsmanship."
Rick Carpenter, a sports psychologist and a former athletic director, described Mr. Molesworth as a "role model for the men he coached. He was the type of coach every parent would want their son to play for."
Originally published September 03, 2007, ByStan Goldberg Fredrick News Post Sports Editor
FEW PEOPLE HAVE had as great an impact on Maryland high school sports than FrederickCounty's Jack Molesworth, who died on Friday at the age of 80. People in the county who knew him mainly think of Molesworth as the head football coach at Frederick and then Thomas Johnson high schools. But it was his work with state high school sports in the 1970s that may well be his greatest legacy.
Another good read is that penned by my Tentacle editor, John Ashbury on September 6th, 2007: “R.I.P. Jack Molesworth”
William Shakespeare once wrote "The evil that men do lives after them, / The good is oft interred with their bones." That won't be the case with Jack Molesworth.
When he passed away last week from complications from a fall in which he broke his neck, the outpouring of affections was nearly overwhelming. But that came from friends and relatives who knew him best.
[…]
For generations of young men and women, his legacy will remain with them for the rest of their lives. For thousands who never met him, his accomplishments in training those who were struggling to reach adulthood will remain a quiet heritage. He helped shape their lives in ways foreign to most of them. But it worked wonders.
The news of his passing was followed by newspaper articles and commentaries which - for the most part - listed the facts of his life, but failed to provide the flavor of this man who dedicated his long life to the betterment of the society into which he was born.
As originally published, in its entirety on Sunday, September 2, 2007 in the Frederick New-Post.
John E. "Jack" Molesworth died on August 31, 2007 at FrederickMemorialHospital of complications from a fall. He was 80 years old.
Born on April 3, 1927 in Baltimore, Jack was the only son of the late John R. Molesworth and Margaret Burgee Molesworth of Monrovia. He graduated from FrederickHigh School in 1944, then enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he served with the second Marine Division in the occupation of Japan. After completion of his service Jack attended WesternMarylandCollege, where he boxed, played football and, along with his roommate, ran a successful student catering business.
After graduating in 1952, Jack held positions as a teacher and assistant football coach at MountAiryHigh School, Saint Paul's School in Baltimore and WestminsterHigh School. Jack became head coach and Director of Athletics at Frederick High School and then Gov. Thomas Johnson High School, where he coached championship teams.
In 1971, Mr. Molesworth took the position of vice-principal at the new Westminster High School, where he stayed briefly due to being offered the position of executive director of Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association for the Maryland Department of Education. Molesworth held this position for 10 years until his retirement in 1981.
After retirement, Jack took his dream job as head football coach at his alma mater, WesternMarylandCollege, where he stayed for five years. During his career, Jack also served for twelve years on the National Federation Football Rules Committee and two years on the National Federation of High School Athletic Associations Executive Council.
Active in the Frederick community, Molesworth was a member of the Frederick Rotary, V.F. W. Post 3285, the Elks Club, the American Legion and was a communicant at CalvaryMethodistChurch. His national affiliations include Lifetime Membership in the American Football Coaches Association and the National Football Foundation. Mr. Molesworth's honors include Hall of Fame induction in the Alvin Quinn Y.M.C.A. Sports Hall of Fame, the Maryland High School Athletic Directors Hall of Fame and the Maryland High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame.
More important than his professional accomplishments, Jack was most proud of his role as mentor to generations of young men in the Frederick community that he coached and taught. Jack was an avid reader, history buff and golfer.
Mr. Molesworth is survived by his wife of 55 years, Nancy Walker Molesworth, two daughters, Janet Hough and husband Terry of Ocean City, Jean Molesworth Kee and husband Edward of Alexandria, Va. and a son, Dr. John Molesworth and wife Debbie of Frederick. Jack is also survived by grandchildren Sarah, Ted, and Caroline Kee, and Laura, Jack, and Kelly Molesworth; and step-grandchildren Coby Hough and Julie Hough Keefer.
The family will receive friend from 3 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, September 4 at the Keeney and Basford P.A. Funeral Home, 106 East Church Street, Frederick. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, September 5 from CalvaryUnitedMethodistChurch, corner of Bentz and West Second Streets, Frederick. His pastor, the Rev. Kenneth R. Dunnington, will officiate. Interment will be in MountOlivetCemetery, Frederick.
Memorial contributions may be made in memory of Jack Molesworth to the Frederick Memorial Hospital Emergency Department Fund, FrederickMemorialHospital, 400 West 7th St., Frederick, MD21701.
Molesworth was the Executive Secretary of the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association from 1971 to 1981 years and also the state supervisor of physical education the first seven of those years. His responsibilities got so big the job was split into two positions the final three years.
William Shakespeare once wrote "The evil that men do lives after them, / The good is oft interred with their bones." That won't be the case with Jack Molesworth.

From seaweed to limes: Biology majors present Capstones
Biology majors presented their Capstone projects in a week-long poster session that explored everything from behavioral trends surrounding the HIV/AIDS population in Delaware to whether bacteria found in yogurt provide health benefits.More than 200 students each year participate in research involving faculty members as mentors, supervisors and collaborators. In many cases, the research results in presentations at professional meetings or publication in peer-reviewed journals.
Maggie Ross ’07 was relieved to find a box of frozen “fish fingers” at a supermarket in Budapest. But in an unrehearsed moment of her Capstone documentary “Life Abroad,” her happiness quickly turns to frustration as she realizes the cooking instructions are in Hungarian.

Helen Thomas to speak at McDanielCollege in WestminsterMaryland.
April 9th, 2007
The McDaniel College web site calls to our attention that “Author and veteran White House journalist Helen Thomas…Dean of the White House press corps … will speak at 7:30 p.m. April 12 in McDaniel College’s Forum, located in DeckerCenter.
The lecture, "From JFK to George W.: Holding their feet to the fire, Helen-style," is free and open to the public.
No doubt the “queen of combativeness and irrationality” will certainly enlighten us with “the Hezbollah view” of the Middle East and the presidency of George W. Bush.
Mr. Tinti writes, “Although that’s the quotable moment of this exchange between Tony Snow and Helen Thomas, the entire thing is worth watching simply for its entertainment value alone. It’s old school Helen Thomas, trying to ‘Scott McClellan’ Tony Snow. And somehow Tony has already mastered the art of dealing with the queen of combativeness and irrationality. It’s really quite impressive.”
For a glimpse of perhaps we will hear from Ms. Thomas can be found here: “Helen Thomas on the Media's Failure.”One of the interesting quotes is when she pronounces condescendingly, “everybody with a laptop thinks they’re journalists - that’s a problem…”
“Journalist Helen Thomas discusses the failure of the media in covering the Iraq war and its aftermath during the Why Media Matters panel hosted by Media Matters for America”
Fox Watch: Media Matters for America host a discussion panel moderated by MMFA's David Brock with Al Franken, White House Press Corp. reporter Helen Thomas and Newsweek's Eleanor Clift.
______
As one can quickly and easily see, Ms. Thomas will probably be a hit at McDanielCollege.
Liberals love her.Conservatives find her cringe worthy at best.To understand why; perhaps Ms. Thomas said it best in a November 6, 2002 account of her presentation at the Massachusetts’s Institute of Technology (MIT):
“‘I censored myself for 50 years when I was a reporter,’ said Thomas, who is now a columnist for Hearst News Service. ‘Now I wake up and ask myself, “Who do I hate today?”’ Her short list of answers seems not to vary from war, President Bush, timid office-holders, a muffled press and cowed citizens, pretty much in that order.”
[…]
"Helen Thomas offered a very powerful indictment of the current behavior of the Bush presidency in her comments on the incoherence and inconsistency of Bush's policies and the danger to civil liberties of Bush's rhetoric," said (MacVicar Faculty Fellows David) Thorburn, (professor of literature.)
Arin Gencer, writing for the Baltimore Sun, essentially gave her a pass in an article about Ms Thomas’ visit and lecture published March 8th, 2007, entitled: “A history of tough questions.”
Terry A. Dalton, an English and journalism professor at McDaniel, had originally called Thomas "out of the blue" to see if she would visit his media and politics class, he said.
[…]
Thomas is known for her persistent and pointed questions in news briefings, particularly with respect to the war in Iraq…
As a columnist for Hearst Newspapers, she spends her days not only speaking but writing what's on her mind.
Or, as Thomas puts it in her book, Thanks for the Memories, Mr. President: "After all those years of telling it like it is, now I can tell it how I want it to be."
Professor Dalton remarked in the Arin Gencer piece:
… a book he recently started having students read brought Thomas to mind.
That book was former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer's Taking Heat: The President, the Press, and My Years in the White House, which details his encounters with White House reporters.
"He mentioned Helen far more by name than any other reporter. ... He gave her a pretty hard time," Dalton said, citing questions she had asked.
Dalton said he wondered whether Thomas would be willing to come and give students her side of the story.
He was delighted when she agreed, he said.
In a March 12, 2003 article in Slate by Jack Shafer, entitled, “Screw You, Mr. President,” it is noted:
… Her loathing for Bush is palpable. "This is the worst president ever," she told the Torrance, Calif., Daily Breeze in January. "He is the worst president in all of American history."
Though Thomas never masked her crush on Democrats when she worked as a news writer, she comes completely out of the closet in her columns, ripping "Bush's headlong drive into war, his favor-the-rich economic policy and his campaign to put right-wing ideologues on the Supreme Court." As the child of Lebanese immigrants, Thomas knows exactly which religious button she's pushing when she repeatedly condemns Bush's plans for war on Iraq as a "crusade."
Some insight as to Mr. Fleischer’s point of view can be found in Mr. Shafer’s 2003 Slate article:
But Thomas' opinion columns are a model of restraint when compared with the snarky speeches she delivers in lieu of asking questions at White House briefings. In the past, Ari Fleischer usually gave Thomas first shot, and in recent weeks she rode a constant theme:
Thomas to Fleischer: Will you state for the record, for the historical record, why [Bush] wants to bomb Iraqi people? —March 5, 2003
Thomas to Fleischer: [W]hy is [Bush] going to bomb them? I mean, how do you bomb people back to democracy? This is a question of conquest. They didn't ask to be "liberated" by the United States. This is our self-imposed political solution for them. —Feb. 26, 2003
Mr. Shafer concluded:
“We could applaud her for stripping the varnish off standard-issue White House lies with her acerbic questions, but rarely are her questions tailored to produce an intelligent response from Fleischer. When you repeatedly ask the question, "Why does he want to drop bombs on innocent Iraqis?" you're mostly venting your spleen.”
[…]
“Which brings us to the saddest part of Thomas' decline: She often raises serious questions that are on lots of people's minds—questions that other critical journalists in the press corps might want to pose. But when spoken by Thomas' lecturing lips first, the questions sound absurd. She ends up taking the air out of the room for intelligent criticism of the president and helps make the press corps look like a Saturday Night Live skit. You can almost hear Fleischer squealing behind closed doors after the briefings: Thank God for Helen Thomas!
If Professor Dalton is bringing Ms. Thomas to McDaniel so that she may give McDaniel journalism students advice; insight as to what she will say can be found in her November 2002 MIT presentation:
“Asked to advise young journalists, Thomas pounced. ‘Remind the politicians you interview that you pay them, that they are public servants. Remember every question is legitimate. And don't give up. There's always a leak. There's always someone who's trying to save the country,’ she said.”
Commonly referred to as "The First Lady of the Press," former White House Bureau Chief Helen Thomas is a trailblazer, breaking through barriers for women reporters while covering every President since John F. Kennedy. For 57 years, Helen also served as White House correspondent for United Press International. She recently left this post and joined Hearst Newspapers as a syndicated columnist.
Born in Winchester, Kentucky, Helen Thomas was raised in Detroit, Michigan where she attended public schools and later graduated from WayneStateUniversity. Upon leaving college,Helen served as a copy girl on the old, now defunct Washington Daily News. In 1943, Ms. Thomas joined United Press International and the Washington Press Corps.
For 12 years, Helen wrote radio news for UPI, her work day beginning at 5:30am. Eventually she covered the news of the Federal government, including the FBI and Capitol Hill.
In November, 1960, Helen Thomas began covering then President elect John F. Kennedy, following him to the White House in January, 1961 as a member of the UPI team. It was during this first White House assignment that Thomas began closing presidential press conferences with "Thank you, Mr. President."
In September, 1971, Pat Nixon scooped Helen by announcing her engagement to Associated Press' retiring White House correspondent, Douglas B. Cornell at a White house party hosted by then President Nixon in honor of Cornell.
Thomas was the only woman print journalist traveling with then President Nixon to China during his breakthrough trip in January, 1972. She has the distinction of having traveled around the world several times with Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, during the course of which she covered every Economic Summit. The World Almanac has cited her as one of the 25 Most Influential Women in America.
Helen Thomas has written three books, including her latest, Thanks for the Memories Mr. President: Wit and Wisdom from the Front Row at the White House.
