Fruitcake
The holidays are upon us and I can only be sure that many thoughts
have turned to getting together with family and friends – and of course, the
wonders of fruitcake.
Yes, fruitcake. Yeah! I know it is a rather heavy subject
for the Christmas season, but fools rush in where angels fear to tread. I’ve
been called many things over the years, but “Angel” is not one of them, so here
goes.
Seems nothing stirs the passions of many like the subject of
food. I’m still nursing the bruising I took several years ago when I commented
on the virtues of squash: “As much as I like vegetables, one food that does not
exist on the Dayhoff's Nutrition Pyramid (DNP) is squash. God created the
squash as a joke. The word "squash" is Native-American for "mud
disguised as plant."
Moving along; your intrepid writer here has observed that
first among equals on the holiday food passion meter seems to be the topic of
fruitcake. After all, nothing warms the cockles of one’s heart like fruitcake
on a cold Central Maryland night. I have been
told that fruitcake burns – forever – in the fireplace at a rather high
temperature; and it adds a brilliant display of holiday colors to the flames.
The subject of fruitcake arrived when I was recently asked
as to what was my favorite food during the holidays. To which I answered,
“Yes!!!”
Fruitcake has gotten a bad rap over the years. That’s
probably because people haven’t had homemade dark fruitcake with icing – a
Southern tradition.
According to various learned commentaries on the virtues of
fruitcake, the concoction of chopped candied fruit, nuts, and spices – and
plenty of alcohol – was quite popular at Victorian teas in 19th century England , where
many know it as “Christmas Cake.”
Another variation of fruitcake – or “fruit bread,” …http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5537

Flinging Fruitcake
What to Do with Leftover Fruitcake by Pam Grout December
13, 2011 Holiday desserts sail over Manitou Springs, Colo. http://americanprofile.com/articles/fruitcake-toss-manitou-springs-colorado/
Wearing military-style fatigues and an aviator cap, Jerry
Pokorny, 64, stuffs a frozen fruitcake into a long, slim tube attached to an
exercise bike. He checks printed satellite maps, twists the valve on a
10-gallon tank of compressed air and–kaboom!–the fruitcake sails across the high
school football field in Manitou Springs , Colo. (pop. 4,992), past the goalposts and into the
distance toward Pikes Peak .
Calling himself "a retired engineer with too much time
on his hands," Pokorny built his wacky "Fruitcake of Mass
Destruction" out of parts from a junkyard to join 75 contestants in the
2011 Manitou Springs Great Fruitcake Toss. The annual event celebrates the
world's most reviled and underappreciated holiday dessert by challenging
contestants to toss, hurl and fling fruitcakes through the air, occasionally
obliterating the sugary artillery in the process…http://americanprofile.com/articles/fruitcake-toss-manitou-springs-colorado/

Eagle Archive: Where were you when Twinkie the Kid and Captain Cupcake died? By Kevin E. Dayhoff Dec 8, 2012 http://tinyurl.com/bqf5tfo
November 21, 2012, was a sad day.
As many were looking forward to sharing Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family; Hostess Brands, the makers of Twinkies, Wonder Bread, Ding Dongs and many other culinary delights high in the food pyramid, announced it was closing its 85-year old business.
The Hostess Brands website did not mince words, "Hostess Brands is Closed. We are sorry to announce that Hostess Brands, Inc. has been forced by a Bakers Union strike to shut down all operations and sell all company assets."Thank you for all of your loyalty and support over the years. …The wind down means the closure of 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers, approximately 5,500 delivery routes, 570 bakery outlet stores and the loss of 18,500 jobs."
If such treats as Suzy Q's, Dolly Madison Zingers and HoHos are not a critical part of your childhood, then certainly you remember the holy trinity of spokespersons for Hostess: Captain Cupcake, Fruit Pie the Magician and Twinkie the Kid.
Certainly many of the 30 Hostess products are a strong childhood memory for many Carroll Countians. As soon as the news that an expiration date had finally been determined for the Twinkies family, the Eagle Archives crisis lines lit-up with inquiries as whether or not it was true that Dolly Madison and Twinkie the Kid were no longer with us… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1209-20121208,0,344660.story

Kevin Dayhoff
October 14, 2010
Kevin, age 57, is a Westminster native who lives on
Uniontown Road with his wife, Caroline Babylon.
Kevin has been a freelance writer and artist since 1971; a self-employed
artist and businessman since 1974 and exhibiting art since 1981.
As a landscape, collage, mixed media assemblage, sculpture
artist, writer and photographer; he has had a life-long pervasive interest in
spatial relationships and the juxtapositioning of incongruent objects.
After graduating from Westminster High School in 1971, he
attended Elon College two years before quitting college to pursue a career in
writing and art.
He returned to Westminster and worked at a variety of jobs.
Dayhoff soon put aside his drawings and collages and concentrated increasingly
on technical writing and landscape designing where he could turn his art into a
finished product that the greater community could more easily understand - and
for which he was paid.
In 1974, Dayhoff started his own business as a landscape
designer, contractor, and nurseryman. As
the business continued to get established, he found that he could spend more
time on his first loves – art and writing.
In June and July 1981 Dayhoff had his first art show, a
one-person show at the Theatre Project in Baltimore, followed by a group show, "Four
at 409" at Gallery 409, in Baltimore in October 1982
It was in the 1982 time period that Dayhoff met Carroll
County artists Linda Van Hart and Robert J. Waddell while he was exploring
photocopier art.
Hart and Waddell opened-up more opportunities for Dayhoff to
explore art and have opportunities to show.
In addition to encouraging Dayhoff to continue exploring photocopier art
and collage, Hart and Waddell also introduced Dayhoff to ‘Mail Art.” Dayhoff continues to participate in (幸円 良介 - Ryosuke Cohen’s
long-running “Brain Cell” – “Fractal” series, from Osaka, Japan, (from 1988) to
this day.
Beginning with a June 1983 one-person show, Dayhoff has had
the opportunity to display art locally at the Carroll Arts Center on five
occasions over the last 3 decades. In
addition to the Arts Center, he has had about six shows at Western Maryland
College from 1985 to 1991, including an extensive one-person retrospective
show, “Tales of a Disenfranchised Hilltop Artist/Farmer,” in February 1990.
Dayhoff retired from landscape design, contracting and
raising nursery stock after 25 years in the business, in 1999. From 1999 to 2005 Dayhoff served as an
elected official for the city of Westminster; from 1999 to 2001 as a
councilmember and 2001 to 2005 as mayor.
He currently writes about history, art, agriculture,
community, and crime for several publications including Explore Carroll for
Patuxent Publishing Co., since June 2, 2005; The Tentacle, since June 9, 2005
and Investigative Voice since February 25, 2010.
In the past he has enjoyed collaborating with a number of
artist groups, including The Consortionists
with Linda Van Hart and Bobby Waddell from 1983 to 1989; the United Art Workers
from 1989 to 1991 and most recently with Off Track Art from December 2008 to
present.

Artist Biography
After working in the corporate world for many years Donna
took an early retirement. In January
2007, she took her first art class at Carroll Community College. She continued with private watercolor classes
with Felisa Flecker, workshops and classes with Tara Grim, Carolyn Seabolt,
Sarah Abel DeLuca, and Skip Lawrence.
Presently Donna enjoys abstract painting, using acrylics, collage and
mixed media with Ed Ramsburg, who continually encourages her to grow as an
artist.
She has exhibited at Carroll County Community College – The
Great Hall, Carroll Life Gallery, Circuit Court Building, Carroll County Arts
Council, Frederick Arts Council (FAC), Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center
(DVAEC), The Artists Gallery, FMH Crestwood Gallery, and Frederick County Art
Association. Within this past year, two
of the art pieces have been shown at the Annapolis Statehouse Building. Presently, original pieces and giclees are in
private collections and consigned in a local shop.
When Donna was in the second grade art class, she remembered
feeling the excitement when painting her first abstract. Now she is focusing on acrylic, collage and
mixed media abstracts - the larger the canvas, the better. She enjoys expressing creativity through
painting and going to new levels using the imagination with whatever materials
are available. The whole process from
beginning to end is exhilarating! I love sharing my world of color with others.

With all the news about Greece’s economic problems, people
are wondering whether it’s a good time to go there or not. I’ve surveyed my
Tour Department and our Greek guides who live and work in Greece, and here’s my
report…
My guides report that our Greece tours so far this spring
have been as smooth and fun as ever — virtually unaffected by the local
political and economic events
The big concern among the hotels and restaurants we use in
Greece is whether they’ll be able to survive the downturn in tourism as many
postpone their travels there, fearing “instability.” And many sights are
running on their shorter winter schedules for lack of money to staff the longer
summer hours.
… First and foremost, Greece is a safe place to visit. In
fact, it’s a good time to visit because you will be made especially welcome.
Tourism is Greece’s heavy industry and its leading employer.
It seems to me that US media coverage of Greece has been
nothing less than hysterical — just plain silly at times, and woefully lacking
in analysis. Greeks are emotional people, and they are given to outbursts of
anger — as well as outbursts of joy. Their bad governments in recent times have
given them plenty of reasons to be angry. The scenes in Syntagma, the big
square immediately in front of the Greek parliament building, are a symptom of
this — and act as a release valve. These scenes occur only when the parliament
is voting on the hated austerity measures. When you see riots on TV, they are
generally the work of a group of anarchists who are limited to Syntagma and
know how to get on the news.
The big debate politically is austerity (from the right)
versus no austerity (from the left). Until this all sorts itself out, I would
recommend that travelers do not wear “Angela Merkel” masks. Regardless of how
the debate turns out, and who emerges as the new government, Greeks of all
political stripes will take care of tourism, so vital to its struggling
economy. The Greeks, a welcoming people at any time, will be doubly
appreciative of any visitors in these difficult circumstances.
The main impact on travelers as Greece struggles through
this period will be: shorter hours of sights; intermittent strikes; and friends
and loved ones back home wondering if Americans traveling in Greece are okay… http://blog.ricksteves.com/?p=7675

Eagle Archive: Big Baker Chapel hangs as an ornament of Westminster history
Baltimore Sun Carroll Explore Carroll Eagle Archive: Big Baker Chapel hangs as an ornament of Westminster history By Kevin E. Dayhoff, November 24, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1125-20121124,0,5911926.story
Recently the General Federation of Women's Clubs' Woman's Club of Westminster unveiled Big Baker Chapel as its ninth holiday ornament for the Christmas season.
The ornament sale is a fundraiser for the club, which for the last 101 years has provided community service and support. According to the club, "The sales from these ornaments enable our Club to help serve the needs in our community including the arts, conservation, education, home life, international outreach and public issues."
In past years, the Woman's Club has paid tribute to McDaniel College's (Little) Baker Chapel and Ward Memorial Arch, Westminster City Hall and the Carroll County Courthouse.
Other buildings recognized by the club include the Westminster Armory, the bell and clock tower that sits atop the old Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 1 fire hall, the Old Stone Building on Liberty Street and the Shellman house on the campus of the Historical Society of Carroll County… Read more: http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1125-20121124,0,5911926.story
