Jackson's death created a wave of empathy in Westminster

Jackson's death created a wave of empathy in Westminster

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff Posted on http://www.explorecarroll.com/ 7/19/09

Photo credit: Daguerreotype of Andrew Jackson, possibly taken by Edward Anthony, April, 1845

It's been hard to make sense of the media frenzy over the death of the enormously talented Michael Jackson. Although I greatly admired his talent; I mourned more for his tragic life, which appears to have precipitated his death.

Of course, for someone like myself, the timing of his death prompted recollections that on July 19, 1845, Westminster paused to mourn the death of another famous Jackson: President Andrew Jackson.

Many folks may know him better as the guy on the $20 bill, but he was the seventh president of the United States, and served from 1829 to 1837.

Jackson died June 8, 1845 at age 78. According to "The Complete Book of U.S. Presidents," by William A. DeGregorio, his last days "were spent in great discomfort, eased only slightly by opiates. Chronic tuberculosis left him with one functioning lung, and that one was impaired. His right eye went blind from a cataract. Dropsy puffed his features. Diarrhea sapped his strength." At one point on the morning of June 8, he had lapsed into unconsciousness, "although a touch of brandy revived him."

Aunt Betty fishing, 91, fishing underneath the Washington Baum Bridge on Roanoke Island

Aunt Betty fishing

July 22, 2009 by Kevin Dayhoff (Click here for a larger image.)

Aunt Betty, 91, is shown here fishing underneath the Washington Baum Bridge on Roanoke Island on the Outer Banks in North Carolina.

Aunty Betty Judd, Chaperon Emeritus, who is also known as “sis,” “Mom,” or simply “AB;” shared that when she was young she has fond memories of going fishing in a stream with stick, string and a safety pin. She further elaborated that she once caught a fish that was so small that “not even the cat would eat it.”

Aunt Betty is well known for her fishing prowess. Over the years, she has been reported to have fished throughout the great American West; near Seattle Washington State on the west coast with Bobbi and Tedd; and throughout the east coast. As this report goes to press, it is not known if she had also taken the opportunity to go fishing in Alaska with family members.

Aunt Betty appeared to be enjoying herself, while she is reportedly vacationing with family on the Outer Banks - away from the usual hordes of roving reporters and their vapid questions.

Perhaps more importantly she seems to have escaped the flock of omnipresent paparazzi, which is always nearby shouting questions with the accompanying cacophony of clicking shutters.

After this reporter approached her with a few questions, she was whisked away to an awaiting van by an entourage of folks who appeared to have gone parasailing. Questions as to whether Aunt Betty also went parasailing were left unanswered and floating with the seagulls as she responded with a simple, enigmatic “Oh, whatever.”

It was overheard that Aunt Betty wanted to get back to her spacious palatial resort house by the beach, with its own zip code, and prop up her feet and have a Guinness and watch the Tour de France.

If you will recall, rumors continue to link Aunt Betty as a former love-interest of Lance Armstrong.

A hulking young man with fishing tackle and cigar dangling from his mouth, stood by patiently, as she gathered herself together. It is not known if he had accompanied her to the popular fishing spot underneath the Washington Baum Bridge or not.

No word as to how much luck she had today, but she was all smiles when this picture was snapped.

Kevin Dayhoff filed this report from the field.

Democratic Advocate, June 22, 1945 - Sugar To Affect Coca-Cola Supply

This day in history:
Democratic Advocate, June 22, 1945 - Sugar To Affect Coca-Cola Supply - W. C. Meredith, President Of Coca-Cola Co., Announces The Quality Will Be Maintained - The supply of Coca-Cola in Westminster definitely will be affected by the further curtailment in the supply of sugar after July 1st because the manufacturer of that popular drink will not compromise with the use of substitutes.

However, an equitable system of rationing will be maintained in Westminster during the shortage, according to W. C. Meredith. President of the Westminster Coca-Cola Bottling Company.

The O. P. A. announced that the allotment of sugar to industrial users would be cut to 50% of the sugar used in the third quarter of 1941, effective July 1st.

"I am informed that this sugar shortage is world-wide and not merely national and is directly attributed to the confusion in the production and distribution of sugar occasioned by the war," said Mr. Meredith.

"Sugar is absolutely necessary in the manufacture of Coca-Cola. We cannot and will not use sweetening substitutes, and therefore when sugar is short, there must be a shortage in the amount of Coca-Cola, but you can be certain that the quality of Coca-Cola will remain unchanged.

Westminster MD Skate Park Documentary

If I am not mistaken, at the Westminster mayor and common council meeting last Monday, it was councilmember Tony Chiavacci that suggested I put this up on the Westminster Community Web site…

The Westminster Skateboard Park is one of the many successes in Westminster. Part of the great success story that is Westminster is the many private-public partnerships and out-of-the-box cutting-edge thinking to make it happen. Enjoy the videos.
Oh, a special hats-off goes to Ron Schroers, the Westminster Recreation director, and Councilman Chiavacci’s Dad, former Council president Roy Chiavacci, for their tireless work on behalf of recreation and parks in Westminster.
