July is National Ice Cream Month

Ohio's Velvet Ice Cream celebrates with deals and events at Ye Olde Mill.

2013-06-08

UTICA, OH, June 08, 2013 (Press-News.org) Summer's middle month calls for celebrating one of America's favorite foods: Ice cream. July is National Ice Cream Month, marked throughout July at Velvet Ice Cream's Ye Olde Mill by a host of ice cream specials and events. The first weekend kicks off Saturday, July 6 on National Ice Cream Cone Day with The Olde Mill Restaurant and Ice Cream Parlor offering $.99 single-dip sugar cones; a nod to Velvet Ice Cream's 99th birthday. Then, on July 7 the Olde Mill Clowns, a live barbershop quartet and a magician welcome visitors.

Different live musical artists perform every Sunday throughout July at Ye Olde Mill. Other Ice Cream Month events include 4Paws Dog Show (July 13 at 1 p.m.) and a National Ice Cream Sundae Day celebration (July 15), where anyone who buys a double-dip Olde Mill sundae receives a FREE single-dip sundae. Guests can also sample the freshest possible Velvet Ice Cream, tasting it right as it comes off the line, Monday-Friday 12-3 p.m., throughout July.

Americans first began celebrating National Ice Cream Month in July, 1984. According to the International Dairy Food Association, 90% of U.S. population enjoys ice cream each year, with the average American eating 48 pints of ice cream per person, per year (more than any other country). The U.S. ice cream industry generates total revenues of $10 billion annually. Take-home ice cream sales represent the largest sector of the market, with revenues of $6.8 billion or 67.7 percent of the market's total value. Some 9 percent of all milk produced by U.S. dairy farmers is used to make ice cream, contributing significantly to the economic well-being of the nation's dairy industry.

Velvet Ice Cream is located in Utica, Ohio, situated on the perfect combination of wooded countryside and rolling, pastoral farmland. A family-owned and operated business for nearly 100 years, Joseph Dager founded Velvet Ice Cream in 1914 and four generations of Dagers have since run the company. Velvet produces more than 5 million gallons of ice cream every year from its headquarters on the 25-acre grounds of Ye Olde Mill. Ye Olde Mill also houses an ice cream and milling museum, a restaurant, playground, picnic area and catch-and-release fish pond. Named by Frommer's as one of America's 10 Best Ice Cream Factory Tours, Velvet's Ye Olde Mill welcomes 150,000 visitors each year for tours, tastings and events. The annual Ice Cream Festival (May 25-27, 2013), group tour experiences and school learning field trips are among the many draws to Ye Olde Mill, which is open to the public May 1-Oct. 31.

MHN Recommends All Men/Boys and Women/Girls Be Vaccinated for HPV

2013-06-08

Michael Douglas' media-grabbing comments blaming his throat cancer on Human Papillomavirus (HPV) contracted during oral sex brought some much-needed attention to the epidemic of HPV infection in the United States. Men's Health Network (MHN) hopes that Douglas' statements will also get parents, healthcare practitioners, and legislators to recommend that boys and young men get the HPV vaccine. Although the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approved the HPV vaccine for males, the vast majority of them have not been vaccinated--and that leaves them and those they ...

Stranded orcas hold critical clues for scientists

2013-06-07

The development of a standardized killer-whale necropsy system has boosted the complete data from killer-whale strandings from 2 percent to about 33 percent, according to a recent study from a team of scientists, including a University of California, Davis wildlife veterinarian. The study, published recently in the journal Marine Mammal Science, suggests that the data can help scientists better understand the life history of the orca species. The killer-whale necropsy system was co-developed by Joe Gaydos, director of the SeaDoc Society -- a program of the UC Davis ...

Common genetic disease linked to father's age

2013-06-07

Scientists at USC have unlocked the mystery of why new cases of the genetic disease Noonan Syndrome are so common: a mutation that causes the disease disproportionately increases a normal father's production of sperm carrying the disease trait. When this Noonan syndrome mutation arises in a normal sperm stem cell it makes that cell more likely to reproduce itself than stem cells lacking the mutation. The father then is more likely to have an affected child because more mutant stem cells result in more mutant sperm. The longer the man waits to have children the greater ...

Magpies take decisions faster when humans look at them

2013-06-07

Researchers from the Seoul National University found that wild birds appear to "think faster" when humans, and possibly predators in general, are directly looking at them. "We started this study from our experience" says Dr. Sang-im Lee, the leader of magpie research team and the first author of the paper. "For a long time we had this impression that somehow magpies know that we are watching them because they often fly away from us when we observe them. But when we don't observe them, we can pass them pretty close-by but they don't fly away!" The finding that animals ...

"Optomechanics is an area of research in which extremely minute forces exerted by light (for example: radiation pressure, gradient force, electrostriction) are used to generate and control high-frequency ...
