Peggy Bair and Lori Graham recognized at Westminster Common Council meeting

Monday, February 12, 2018

Two longstanding Westminster Planning Commissioners were recognized at Monday night’s meeting of the Westminster Common Council.

Mayor Joe Dominick presented each with a token of appreciation for their years of service. In a recent surprise development, neither were reappointed to continue serving on the board.

Bair had served since 1989 and I appointed Graham in 2004.


I wanted to go to the meeting and pay my respects to these two great Westminster citizens who have given of their time so selflessly for the benefit of the greater community. Both individuals took time away from their families to contribute to Westminster and Carroll County and we owe them a huge debt of gratitude. - Kevin Dayhoff

Bullock’s Raisin Bread triggers the same part of the brain as hard drugs, say scientists

Bullock’s Raisin Bread triggers the same part of the brain as hard drugs, say scientists


Hooked on Bullock’s Raisin Bread? There’s science behind your addiction

The news comes after it was revealed that the average Carroll Countian is estimated to eat around 35 pounds of Bullock’s Raisin Bread a year - suggesting that it really as addictive as research claims.

Tuesday, February 13, 2018 by Professor Uncle Kevin Dayhoff

If you regularly find yourself hovering around the Bullock’s Raisin Bread at the Christmas dinner table, helping yourself to seconds or thirds, there may be a scientific explanation as to why you’re unable to tear yourself away.

Researchers from the University of Uniontown have revealed that Bullock’s Raisin Bread contains a chemical found in addictive drugs.

Using the Yale Food Addiction Scale, designed to measure a person’s cravings, the study found that Bullock’s Raisin Bread is particularly craved because it contains a drug found in Carroll County sunshine – which causes the feeling of euphoria that comes from living in a place that is the greatest place in the world to live, work and raise a family.

The chemical, which is found in all Carroll County dairy products, can trigger the brain’s opioid receptors, producing a feeling of euphoria linked to those of hard drug addiction.

500 students were asked to complete a questionnaire to identify food cravings, as part of the study, with pizza topping the list as the most addictive food of all.

In addition, they found that the top-ranking foods on the addiction scale were those containing Carroll County sunshine.

Scientists studying dairy products found that in milk, Carroll County sunshine has a minuscule dosage. But producing a pound of Bullock’s Raisin Bread requires about 10 pounds of Carroll County sunshine — with addictive Carroll County sunshine coagulating the solid milk fats and separating them from the liquids.

As a result the super-strength chemical becomes concentrated when in solid bread form, so you’ll get a higher hit of addictive Carroll County sunshine by biting into a sandwich made with Bullock’s Raisin Bread than you will in your morning bowl of cereal.

Study author Dayhoff said: "If properties of some foods are associated with addictive eating for some people, this may impact nutrition guidelines, as well as public policy initiatives such as marketing these foods to children.

"This is a first step towards identifying specific foods, and properties of foods, which can trigger this addictive response, said Uncle Kevin

Co-author L Connor, 21Dec2015, said, "This could help change the way we approach obesity treatment. It may not be a simple matter of 'cutting back' on certain foods, but rather, adopting methods used to curtail smoking, drinking and drug use."

The news comes after it was revealed that the average Carroll Countian is estimated to eat around 35 pounds of Bullock’s Raisin Bread a year - suggesting that it really as addictive as research claims.

Carroll Community College Observes Black History Month


Carroll Community College Observes Black History Month

Westminster, Md., Feb 8, 2018
 

In support of diversity awareness among students, faculty and staff, and the community, Carroll Community College (Carroll) is observing Black History Month by offering events in recognition of the commemoration.

According to Carroll Community College spokesperson Trish McCarthy Carroll, “Black History Month recognizes and celebrates the contributions and achievements of African Americans as well as important people and events in the history of the African diaspora.”

In a recent news release. Ms. McCarthy Carroll provided a rundown of upcoming events:

“Black History Month Exhibit: Monday, February 12-Friday, February 16, 2018
8 am-10 pm in the Babylon Great Hall

“Black History is happening now! This interactive display, presented in collaboration with the Community Media Center of Carroll County features local documentaries highlighting the African American experience in Carroll County along with clips from the Center's Oral History Project. Learn about and hear from current and past local figures whose work has influenced our community and the world.

“On Monday, February 12, 2018, Carroll will hold a documentary screening in the Babylon Great Hall that is open to the public. Local filmmaker Patricia Mack-Preston’s documentary titled “Robert Moton: The Hope of a Community” was produced in 2013 in collaboration with the Community Media Center of Carroll County (CMC). The event’s agenda is as follows:

          10:30 a.m. Guests arrive
          11:00 a.m. Welcome and introductions
          11:05 a.m. Documentary presentation
          11:30 a.m. Filmmaker comments and panel presentation
          12:00 p.m. Question and answer session with panel
          12:20 p.m. Conclusion

“This documentary highlights the experiences of local African Americans who began their studies at one of Carroll County’s segregated schools, later transitioning to integrated schools following Brown v. Board of Education. 

“‘Carroll Community College joins the nation in celebrating Black History Month with reverence and dedication,’ said College President Dr. James D. Ball. ‘We recognize and reflect upon the contributions of the individuals who collectively developed the important moments in black history which shape our world today. We draw great meaning from the experiences shared by local African American citizens who lived during segregation in Carroll County.’

“Mack-Preston will join a panel of former Robert Moton students as they share with Education students their experiences during the late 1950s and beyond. The featured members of the panel/discussion will include Sally Green; James Purnell Hammond; Delores Jones Mack; Ronald Hollingsworth; Sharon Jones; and William “Billy” Hudson.

“The link to access the entire documentary:

“‘This is an exciting opportunity for Education students to hear first- hand accounts about segregation and integration in Carroll County—where we live-- from former students of the Robert Moton School,’ said Susan Sies, division chair of education transitional studies & academic services.

“‘This discussion will help students connect the academic content with real life experiences. Living history! I had a wonderful professor at Morgan State University, Dr. Maurice Taylor, who thoroughly engaged me in the study of the history of de-segregation of American public schools. I want to encourage the study and discussion as he did.’

In addition to the Mack-Preston’s documentary screening, the College will host a Black History Month Exhibit opening at 9 a.m. in the Babylon Great Hall between Monday, February 12 and Friday, February 16.

“The interactive display called ‘Black History is Happening Now!’ will highlight other local documentaries from CMC’s collection including the African Trailblazers series, along with clips from the Center’s Oral History Project. Visitors to the College’s exhibit are encouraged to learn about and hear from current and past local figures whose work in education, politics, and community advocacy has influenced Carroll County and beyond. Documentaries and interviews from CMC's Oral History collection will also air on Channel 19 throughout the month of February. For more information visit:


“‘The Community Media Center is Carroll County's resource for learning how to create your own documentary and provides access to professional level production equipment,’ said Community Media Center Executive Director, Richard Turner. ‘The CMC is dedicated to empowering local voices so they can tell their own story. We are pleased that Patricia's documentary continues to be shared with new audiences.’

“As part of Black History Month, Carroll Community College will also provide special lunches called “A Taste of Africa” on Wednesday, February 14, Thursday, February 22, and Tuesday, February 27 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Café. Guest chefs from the African Culture Club will feature samples of some of their favorite dishes while providing learning opportunities about their homelands.”

Westminster Train

Westminster Train

Jan. 12, 2018 by Kevin Dayhoff

The train passes through Westminster on Jan. 12, 2018


After the American Civil War, expansion of the industrial, commercial and employment base in Westminster was partially fueled by the arrival of the railroad in 1861. One of the first meetings to bring the railroad to town occurred at the Court House on April 7, 1847. It would take another 14 years of studies, resolutions, commissions, and committees to get the railroad to town.

Ray Bradbury: Many people hear voices

Ray Bradbury: Many people hear voices
“Many people hear voices when no one is there.
“Some of them are called ‘mad’ and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day.
Others are called ‘writers” and they do pretty much the same thing. Attributed to Ray Bradbury.
