Local University to ban eating ice cream on campus


A leading “Local University” will be an ice cream-free campus, according to recent widely circulated media reports. (Click here for a larger image: http://twitpic.com/plzlw )

November 14, 2009 by Kant BeTrue New Bedford Herald http://tinyurl.com/yck8ubq

The policy was announced last Wednesday by university officials as they sipped bottled water and munched on simulated fiber-bars, Manhattan style fish assholes and giant curried water bugs. (Click here for a larger image of the “Red Curry Giant Water Bugs: http://twitpic.com/plzzd )

University officials expressed pride at becoming “Maryland's first four-year college to ban an activity once as commonplace as lounging on the quad,” according to one local newspaper.

The sloth-like “lounging in the quad” is also under consideration to be banned. “We want a healthy – and all-conforming campus, that is obedient and health-conscious,” said officials.

“The reason for the policy, which goes into effect in August, is simple, administrators said: They want to reduce health risks from (eating ice cream) and secondhand exposure to (obese students.”)

"I don't try to guide people in how they live their lives, but I am going to protect the campus so it's clean and pleasant for as many people as possible," said the Local University President, Dr. Knowles Jerry-Ben, known affectionately on campus as “Dr. Kno,” who cited a study by The Center for Science in the Public Interest.

Eating ice cream is decadent, indulgent, and delicious, however, the consumer watchdog group is warning many ice cream treats are “coronaries in cones.” Many top brands contain huge amounts of calories and saturated fats said CSPI.

According to one publication, which reported upon the study, “the researchers were astounded at the calories and saturated fat content in a single cone of many products sold by companies like Baskin-Robbins, Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs.”

Local University has concurrently announced that all products manufactured by Baskin-Robbins, Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs are not only banned on campus, but also prohibited within a ten-mile radius of the university campus.

Also, all local rallies and celebrations of National Ice Cream Day, usually held every year on July 15, are also now banned. Defiant demonstrators will be dealt with sternly, warned one official as he manically munched on the cardboard wrapper of a simulated fiber-bar.

When asked to comment on a Frederick News-Post article from 2007 that noted “In 1984, President Reagan designated National Ice Cream Day and declared July to be National Ice Cream Month,” one university official belched that President Ronald Reagan and any reference to the former president or his words or “utterances” is now deemed “hate-speech” and also banned on campus.

The news account had cited that “Reagan recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food enjoyed by 90 percent of the nation's population, according to the website for the International Dairy Foods Association.

One university official reminded the audience that the International Dairy Foods Association – the IDFA - is now on the Obama administration’s terrorist watch list for propagandizing that “The average amount of ice cream consumed in the United States on any given day in July is 5.3 million gallons.”

The inquiring reporter was immediately – and forcibly - removed from the news conference in handcuffs for asking questions considered seditious in tenor and rebellious in nature.

As the reporter, B. P. Ward of the Potomac Publishing Co., was dragged from the room, he shouted, “George Washington spent $200 on ice cream in the summer of 1790 – that’s a lot of money for back then.”

To which several university officials responded that any reference to President Washington is also seditious… and now banned.

Meanwhile, a published account noted that “Everyone knows that ice cream isn’t a health food, acknowledges the U.S.-based food sleuths famed for blowing the whistle on movie theatre popcorn and MSG in Chinese takeout,” which are also already banned from the campus.

The published account on the perils of ice cream noted, “A CSPI study released Wednesday found a regular scoop of premium ice cream provides 250 to 350 calories and half a day's worth of artery clogging saturated fat.

“‘That's twice what you'd get in a supermarket ice cream like Bryers,’ nutritionist Jayne Hurley told a Washington press conference.

“It can get worse. The food police say a large vanilla shake from Baskin-Robbins has more than 1,000 calories and 32 grams of saturated fat. That's like eating three McDonald's Quarter Pounders.”

All McDonald’s products have been banned from the university campus for some time, noted university officials.

“Hurley even had a warning about empty cones.

“‘This empty chocolate dipped waffle cone from Ben & Jerry's is the equivalent to a half pound rack of baby backribs…”

Waffles, baby backribs and all meat are also banned from the campus, university officials said with noticeable pride, while spitting-out giant water bug shells.

Recently ABC News Medical Unit reported that “While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention consistently report that meat is the number one cause of foodborne illness, they are not the only foods to be wary of.

“A new report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest found that a number of food poisoning cases are caused by some unexpected foods, including leafy greens, potatoes, and ice cream.”

Local University officials said that a ban on leafy greens and potatoes is also under consideration, which cited that, the “CSPI reported that leafy greens, including spinach, lettuce, and cabbage, were responsible for 363 outbreaks between 1990 and 2006 and caused 13,568 cases of illness.”

Eating hamburgers and all meat products, waffles, ice cream, popcorn, and Chinese food is “already banned in campus buildings at (Local University,) but under the new rules, it will be off-limits on the grounds: on sidewalks, in garages and parking lots, and even outside the bar … at the local bistro.”

Local University “joins a rapidly growing list of U.S. colleges - at least 365, according to the (American Say No to Ice Cream Rights Foundation) - that have banned (eating ice cream) on campus.”

According to a local publication: “Last year, Montgomery College became the first Maryland institution of higher education to take the leap. Harford, Frederick, and Carroll community colleges have followed suit. Pennsylvania's university system has banned (eating ice cream) on all of its campuses.”

Dr. Kno “said a survey found that a very small percentage of students and faculty (eat ice cream) and that those who do, (eat ice cream) less frequently than they did in the past. The policy encountered some opposition from student leaders.”

However, all opposition, dialogue, and discussion of university policies have long been banned on campus, following recent successful attempts at banning any opposition to the Ruling Party, on both the state and national level.

Some students “wondered if the university will be able to enforce the rule, noting that a current ban on (eating ice cream) within 30 feet of school buildings is only loosely followed.”

Directing their attention to the 30-foot rule, university officials deny that students have been beaten for violating the rules; however, a small number of students were imprisoned last year for eating ice cream.

University officials, speaking on the condition of animosity, said, that the arrests and incarcerations will continue until the mood and moral of the campus improves and conformity abounds.

“Students and staff members who violate the rules will face fines and sanctions. Visitors who” eat ice cream “may be barred from future access to the 328-acre campus,” and sent to a fat-farm for re-education…

“Some students said the ban on (ice cream) will improve campus.”

“By not having eating ice cream on campus, kids will stop eating ice cream,” said a senior, “can world peace be too far away as a result?”

Published June 21, 2009 by Carroll Eagle, Westminster Eagle
It's halfway through June, and for those of us who love Maryland's melting heat and humidity, many are wondering — where is summer?

For me, though, thoughts turn to the birth of Frankenstein.

First things first. In 1816, there really was a "year without summer." Carol Lee, in her book, "Legacy of the Land," explains that the year without summer caused quite a bit of hardship in Carroll County. "Farmers in Maryland and elsewhere would remember 1816 as ... 'eighteen hundred and starve-to-death.' " According to Lee, there were freezing temperatures well into June.

What caused the year without summer? According to a July 2002 article in Smithsonian magazine, "Blast from the Past," by Robert Evans, the agricultural and economic catastrophe of 1816 was a volcanic winter, caused by the eruptions of Mount Tambora on the island of Sumbawa, in what we now know as Indonesia, April 5-15, 1815.

19220428 CC Pageant WMC Athletic Bowl to be dedicated June 10

Pageant WMC Athletic Bowl to be dedicated June 10

Democratic Advocate, April 28, 1922.

The Carroll County Pageant

On Saturday afternoon, June 10, the New Athletic Bowl will be formerly dedicated not only to Western Maryland College but to all of Carroll County.

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.

Democratic Advocate, March 23, 1945.

Following taken from Baltimore Sun March 18: Rev. Dr. Lowell F. Ensor, pastor of the Methodist Church at Westminster, yesterday urged support of the repeal of the Jim Crow law in Maryland.

He is the composer of more than forty motion picture scores including his Oscar-winning score and song for THE WAY WE WERE and his adaptation of Scott Joplin's music for THE STING, for which he received a third Oscar. His prolific output of scores for films include original compositions and/or musical adaptations for SOPHIE'S CHOICE, ORDINARY PEOPLE, THE SWIMMER, THREE MEN AND A BABY, ICE CASTLES, TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, BANANAS and SAVE THE TIGER.

Marvin Hamlisch holds the position of Principal Pops Conductor with the National Symphony Orchestra. (This is the first time that anyone has held such a position). He is also the Principal Pops Conductor for the Pittsburgh and San Diego Symphony Orchestras.

Mr. Hamlisch was Musical Director and arranger of Barbra Streisand's 1994 concert tour of the U.S. and England as well as of the television special, "Barbra Streisand: The Concert" (for which he received two of his Emmys). He served in the same capacities for her Millennium concerts.

Hamlisch is a graduate of both Juilliard and Queens College (where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree). He believes in the power of music to bring people together. "Music can make a difference. There is a global nature to music, which has the potential to bring all people together. Music is truly an international language, and I hope to contribute by widening communication as much as I can."

20071017 Rider University Statement on the Death of Student from Columbia Maryland

Rider University Statement on the Death of Student from Columbia Maryland

October 17th, 2007

Our hearts and prayers go out to the Warfield family and their friends and family in Columbia Maryland.

(A member of my family attends Westminster Choir College and we received this e-mail earlier…)

The Westminster Choir College has gone above and beyond the call of duty to address the dangers posed by the drinking behaviors engaged by too-many college students today. This is terrible shame for a student to have the talent to attend Westminster Choir College only to have a promising career cut short.

Dear Family Members,

We are deeply saddened to inform you of the death of one of our students, Justin R. Warfield, an 18-year old Westminster Choir College freshman from Columbia, Maryland. We know that we speak for the entire University when we extend our heartfelt sympathy to his family.

At approximately 5 a.m. this morning a 911 call was placed from an apartment on the 200 block of Witherspoon Street in Princeton. An ambulance arrived and police and the first aid squad administered CPR. At about 6 a.m., Justin was pronounced dead at University Medical Center
at Princeton.

An investigation is under way to determine the cause of death. We understand from the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office that they believe alcohol and drugs may have played a role, and we will await the findings from the medical examiner.

This fall, Rider implemented a number of steps to discourage alcohol and drug abuse on our campuses. We had hoped we would never again have to experience another tragedy involving one of our students. We remain vigilant and determined to educate our students about the dangers of excessive drinking and will continue to do so.

Drinking on college campuses is a national crisis and we will continue to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that we provide an even safer learning environment for all of our students.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Justin's family. Counseling and campus ministry staff continue to be available for all students, faculty and staff on both campuses.

Mordechai Rozanski, President, Rider University

20070916 Don’t Start Caring Now by P. Kenneth Burns

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 Western Maryland College, now McDaniel College. 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 County Executive from 1994-2002, a man with more integrity than our current County Executive 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.

20070906 Jack Molesworth passed away August 31 2007

Jack Molesworth passed away August 31 2007

Mr. John Molesworth

September 6th, 2007

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 Frederick Memorial Hospital 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 Frederick High 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 Western Maryland College, 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 Mount Airy High School, Saint Paul's School in Baltimore and Westminster High 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, Western Maryland College, 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 Calvary Methodist Church. 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.
