Dominion
Cove
Point
(DCP) is providing the materials to build a reef in the Chesapeake Bay. So far, three loads
of rubble have gone out and
another four deliveriess are
scheduled, according to DCP
Media Relations and Community Relations Manager Karl
R. Neddenien.
The primary material used
for the artificial reef is concrete from demolition of onsite buildings to make way
for the current export project. DCP estimates that approximately 600 cubic yards
(1,200 tons) of concrete debris
suitable for reef material was
generated during demolition
and is available for the reef
augmentation.
According to a DCP press
release, on June 2, 2014,
the Maryland Public Service
Commission approved a Certificate of Public Convenience
and Necessity (CPCN) for an
electric generating station as
part of the [DCP] Liquefaction
Project. The order requires
DCP to prepare and implement a plan to use materials
that result from the demolition
of structures as artificial reef

material.
The specific objectives of
the reef plan are to deploy material that will enhance reef
habitat at an existing permitted artificial reef location.
Taylors Island reef was determined to be the best-suited
reef site by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) for an initial deployment of material.
DCPs objective is to support the Maryland Artificial
Reef Initiative.
The Chesapeake Bay has
lost a significant amount of
reef habitat from sediment
loading and centuries of oyster harvesting. DCP hopes to
improve reef habitat in the
Chesapeake Bay by donating construction materials
suitable for reef building and
deploying the material at an
existing artificial reef. The
reef generally is expected to
provide habitat for fish and the
establishment of oysters, a
press release reads.

Representatives from the Calvert County

Sheriffs Office, the Maryland State Police,
and the Natural Resources Police escorted local students to K-Mart in Prince Frederick for
a morning of back to school clothes shopping
during the annual back-to-school Shop with a
Cop.
According to Sheriffs Office DFC Andre
Mitchell, each student received a backpack

full of school supplies and gift bags from

now underway at the Mt. Hope Convenience Center that will improve traffic flow, increase services and enhance
safety at the site.
The 12-month project, overseen by the
Calvert County Department of Public

YOUR
First Fall
Hazardous Waste
Collection Day is
This Saturday
The first of two Hazardous Waste
Collection days for the fall season
will occur this Saturday, Aug. 22,
from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the
St. Andrews Landfill in California,
Md. With the summer season drawing to a close now is the perfect
time for citizens to clean out barns,
basements, sheds, garages, storage
areas under kitchen sinks, etc. and
properly dispose potentially toxic/
dangerous materials and household
hazardous waste.
Hazardous waste items which
will be accepted for collection include Acids, Ammonia, Bleach,
Cleaners, Fuels, Gas/Oil Mixtures,
Gasoline, Household and Lawn
Pesticides, Mercury Thermometers, Photography Chemicals, Pool
Chemicals, Solvents, Wood Preservatives, Paint Thinners, and Alkyd

HOW DOES
A TANKLESS SPACE SAVING CALCULATION
WORK?
The obvious difference
between a tank and a
tankless is its size.
Not only will you gain
significant space, but
youll also get endless
hot water with a tankless.
Noritz tankless water
heaters last longer than
traditional tank water
heaters and are backed up
with a 12-year warranty.
STEP 5
The Noritz tankless water heater

provides an endless stream of
hot water. When the tap is
turned off, the unit shuts off.
With a tankless, you wont

be using hot water that is
stored in a tank that can
accumulate scale and rust
over time. Noritz units
allow you to set the
temperature you want.
A traditional tank-type water heater takes up to 13 ft2 of

space. If 1 ft2 is worth $200, thats $2,600 (13 ft2 x $200)
worth of space you could be saving at Noritz.

You might be surprised what some citizens think the County Commissioners can do.
Among the many complaints we receive, some
simply are beyond the legal authorities of those
who hold this wonderful office.
Even though a citizen may not be expected to
know what the commissioners can do or not do,
they at a minimum deserve a response from us
with helpful suggestions identifying the proper
place to contact for resolution of their issues.
Calvert County has two incorporated towns,
North Beach and Chesapeake Beach. Have an issue with your town water and sewer bills or tax
sales pertaining to a house? Both towns have a
mayor, council members and staff. That would
be a good place to start.
Have an issue where you believe a judge made
an error? Consult legal representation to appeal
rulings by Judges.
Deeds on homes that may appear to be questionable, check with Real Estate Attorneys.
Banking issues are not among the areas we
commissioners oversee, but since banks are
highly regulated, there surely must me a proper
federal authority maybe starting with the Secu-

rity and Exchange Commission (SEC).

If issues pertaining to the
assessment on a home or other comparable ones homes
are being assessed and appear questionable, the State of Maryland has a
Department of Assessments & Taxation. Commissioners do not control the assessments.
So, besides trying to help point other avenues
so that citizens can receive the relief they seek, it
does seem appropriate to also identify just what
our authorities are and are not. Such authority is
prescribed in state law and can be found at the
following locations:

Feature Story
Four Schools Welcoming New Principals
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Students and parents arent the only

ones caught up in the rush to get ready
for the first day of school. Teachers and
administrators are also getting back into
the classroom and preparing for their
students.
Calvert County Public Schools (CCPS)
held an orientation on Aug. 17-19 for
new teachers and administrators, including the principals taking the lead at four
CCPS schools. Sixth graders and high
school freshmen will have an opportunity to check out their new school on
Aug. 24 in preparation for the first day of
school on Aug. 25.
This year will present some challenges,
said CCPS Superintendent Daniel Curry.
Due to a smaller than anticipated budget,
each school and departments allotment
was cut by at least 5 percent in addition
to reductions in staff. There are some last
minute vacancies to fill in mathematics
and special education, Curry said.
Educators always strive to help students improve, but this year they have
less information than normal to work

with, Curry said. Last year was the first
time the PARCC assessment was administered, and the results havent been released yet.
CCPS has a solid record of student success, Curry said, and in the coming year
efforts will continue to close the achievement gap among specific student groups,
including students in special education
and African-American males.
Another goal for the school year is to
decrease the number of students taking
remedial classes when they enter college,
11
Curry said, and to increase the number

of students earning college credit before
graduation. Taking college courses while
in high school can increase the confidence of students and prove to them that
they can handle the workload in college.
At four schools, new principals will be
leading the efforts to promote students
and education.

Jessica Reynolds
Dowell Elementary School
the community as a whole.

Its an exciting opportunity, she said.
Reynolds is a Calvert County native,

having attended Appeal Elementary
School when she was a child.
I think thats one of my favorite parts of
being at Dowell, being where I grew up,
Reynolds said.
Before taking on her new position, she
taught at Calvert Country School, and
served as vice principal at both Calvert
Middle and Dowell Elementary. She is
looking forward to continuing to be part of
the community at Dowell and to creating
a safe and inspiring environment for students while preparing them to be college
and career ready.
Reynolds has always loved the community in the southern end of the county, she
said, and looks forward to working with the
Dowell Elementary family. She intends to
tap into community resources and set up
new relationships with new families and in
Mandy Blackmon
Southern Middle School
Blackmon has been in Calvert County
for eight years, starting as vice principal
at Calvert Country School, then moving to
Southern Middle School in the same position. She is happy to step into the principal
position at Southern Middle, where she already is familiar with the building, the community, the faculty, and the kids.
They are all unique students, Blackmon said.
Middle school is often the toughest
stage in students lives, she said, and it is
gratifying to be there to guide them.
She plans to find ways to lessen
achievement gaps and hold students to
the highest standards possible.
Principals are always looking for a way
to make their school stand out, Blackmon
said. She intends to shine the spotlight

on students and teachers as often as
possible.
Make everyone feel they have something they can give to someone else, she
said.
Sabrina Bergen
Patuxent High School
This will be Bergens 14th year with
CCPS. Prior to becoming principal at
Patuxent High School, Bergen was the
vice principal at Huntingtown High School
for seven years. This year will be her first
time in a position at Patuxent High.
I love what I do and Im very excited
about this new challenge, she said.
Bergen intends to spend the first part of
the school year getting to know the staff
and students at Patuxent High and continue building upon the success that Patuxent has had in the past.
Bergen has felt very welcomed at Patuxent so far, she said, and she looks forward
to getting to work with the school family.
Jamie Webber
Northern Middle School
Like Reynolds, Webber is a Calvert
County native. Webbers new job at Middle School puts him in a unique position
he was a student at the school, then came
back to teach, and is now the principal of
the school.
Not many people get an opportunity to
do that, Webber said.
He hopes to use that perspective in
leading the school and promoting student
achievement. Middle school is an important time in students lives, Webber said.
They are transitioning from being children
to young men and women, and he intends
to promote their growth both personally
and academically.

Education
Class of Calvert Senior High 1965 Celebrates 50 Years

Vintage is the new Young, was the
theme for the 50th anniversary the weekend
of July 31. Nearly 50 percent of the active
alumni participated in the three-day whirlwind, action-packed Reunion. This class
has held nine reunions over the 50 years.
Beginning with the 10th in 1975, there has
been one every fifth year. For many, the
friendships go back to elementary school
and before.
Friendly, unending reminiscing took
place at six specially planned events
throughout Calvert County. Fridays golf
outing at Twin Shields Golf Course and
evening Barbecue Kick-off at Adams Ribs
(better known as Log Cabin in 1965) set the
weekend in motion with much enthusiasm.
Saturday turned out to be a perfect summers day on the Patuxent River with a twohour Tennison cruise out of Solomons. In
the afternoon, classmates toured the brand
new replacement of their Alma Mater on
Dares Beach Road with details offered by
George Leah, Director of Construction
about the state-of-the art school and the sophisticated student programs.
Later Saturday, a cocktail hour and traditional reunion dinner were hosted at the
Prince Frederick Elks Lodge. The evening
included music, vintage dcor, and a fun
quiz, along with sharing high school stories
of 50+ years ago. As always, fond memories
of deceased classmates (24) were memorial-
ized by a candlelight display of their senior

pictures. A Then and Now slide show of
Calvert County was based upon yearbook ads
of the 1960s; they were compared to recent
photos taken at the same locations. Attendees

all joined in singing an alumni song, Still
Proud to be A Calvert Cavalier, with lyrics
written for the occasion by a classmate.
Departing from the Farewell Brunch at

IHOP on Sunday, classmates reiterated that
Vintage CSHS 1965 lived up to its New
Young theme.

With the beginning of the school year

right around the corner, the Calvert
County Sheriffs Office is preparing for
the annual round of DARE programs.
Sheriffs Office DFC Andre Mitchell
has taken the lead in the local DARE
program following the retirement of the
previous supervisor.
Mitchell got involved in the DARE
program in 2010. He said he always
wanted to find a way to work with kids,
and the DARE program gave him that
opportunity.
Currently, there are five deputies assigned to the DARE programs, two full
time and three as part-time substitutes.
The sheriffs office teaches DARE at
the sixth grade level in all six Calvert
County Public Schools middle schools
and at the fifth grade level at three local
private schools. In the future, if staffing
and scheduling allows, Mitchell hopes to
begin teaching DARE in fifth and sixth
grade at all schools countywide.
DARE does more than teach students
about the dangers of substance abuse,
Mitchell said. It promotes an early and
positive relationship between students
and law enforcement officer.
Relationship building is key, Mitchell said, adding that he has students who
remember him years after their DARE
classes and make it a point to say hello
whenever they see him. One student was
assaulted and waited an entire day so she
could report it to Mitchell because she
trusted him.
The lasting impact you can have in 10

days is incredible, Mitchell said.
DARE falls under the purview of the
Community Action Team (CAT). In addition to the DARE programs, this team
coordinates community sweeps, appearances at the County Fair, Home Owners
Association meetings and other venues,
and conducts concentrated enforcement
efforts.

Southern Maryland Gives

Features 9 Fundraisers Online
Nonprofit Institute at CSM Promotes
Local Projects for Local Support
Southern Maryland is showing its generosity as

local organizations have received more than $6,000
to date through the online giving portal, Southern
Maryland Gives, an initiative of the Nonprofit Institute at the College of Southern Maryland. The online
hub, available at www.southernmarylandgives.org,
highlights nonprofits addressing our regions needs
through the environment, historic preservation, humanitarian aid, health, education, arts and culture,
youth services and programs, animals and more.
Southern Maryland Gives features projects currently needing support as well as many local nonprofits that are accepting general donations. Featured
projects during August include:
LifeStyles of Maryland, project goal $5,000
Safe Nights is a united and compassionate response to serving the homeless in our community. It provides overnight shelter to individuals and
families from Oct. 1 to April 15th of each year. The
program rotates to a different host site each week.
Participants are provided with meals, cots, linens
and toiletry items. Supportive services and enrichment activities are conducted nightly to encourage
the journey towards self-sufficiency. Your donation
will help pay for 50 sturdy, heavy duty cots for the
homeless in the tri-county area.
The Greenwell Foundation, project goal $5,000
Located in St. Marys County, Greenwells mission is to provide inclusive activities for people with
disabilities. Camp Greenwell is an inclusive summer camp for all children, regardless of ability or
challenges to play, have fun, make new friends, and
experience new things. Archery is a sport everyone
can enjoy, and the camp needs an updated range.
Greenwell would like to provide better wheelchair
access to offer better accessibility. Creating shade
would also provide respite from the sun and heat
so camp-goers could have more time for archery.
Giving to this project would help pay for a shade
structure, archery holders, and new targets, bows,
and arrows.
Bay K9 SAR, project goal $400
This search and rescue organization is run completely by volunteers in Charles County. Using
bloodhounds to locate lost people, Bay K9 SAR
supports the community by offering this service
free of charge to law enforcement agencies. Their
newest bloodhound, Mathilda, is a puppy in training. Mathilda could use a cooling vest and car fan
for those hot days when shes working. She needs
a service vest that will allow her to enter stores and
homes as a professional working dog. As a tracking dog, Mathilda also needs an extra-long leashes
and customized harness. With this gear, she will be
able to help find a critical person in need.
Southern Maryland Carousel Group, project
goal $1,500
Preserving a piece of Southern Maryland history
ignited this group into action. Do you remember the
carousel at Marshall Hall Park? This nonprofit wants
to build a carousel in Charles County, similar to the
original that was torn down in the 1970s. Some original pieces from the old carousel will also be worked
into the new grand design. Commissioned local artists have already hand carved more than 50 animal
The Southern Maryland Gives online portal is

powered by Razoo and sponsored by the Nonprofit Institute at CSM. Any size donation is appreciated, but
a minimum $10 donation is required to donate online.
Southern Maryland Gives supporters include
Charles and St. Marys County Governments, Southern Maryland Oil, Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative and the College of Southern Maryland.

figures, including two wheelchair accessible chariots. Supporting this project will buy stirrups for each
animal, so riders can step up safely and go round.
Sotterley Plantation, project goal $10,000
Some stories are not easy to tell. Sotterley wants
to bring to life the stories of the enslaved, tenants
and farm domestic laborers who lived there from
the 18th to 20th centuries. Land, Lives, and Labor
is a year-round exhibit to be housed in the historic
Corn Crib on the site in St. Marys County. Funds
directed to this project will renovate the Corn Crib,
supplementing a capital grant from the African
American Heritage Preservation Program.
Forever Free Books, project goal $2,000
Putting a book into the hands of a child who
doesnt own onethis is why Forever Free Books
exists. For a child, the chance to start a personal
library at home can be very empowering and encourage the love of reading. This program reaches
out to kids throughout Charles County who have
not had the opportunity to own even one book. Your
donation can help ensure that more and more children will be proud book owners and on the road to
becoming lifelong readers.
Center for Children, project goal $5,000
Children who have been subjected to abuse
urgently need help, not just for physical harm but
also for damage to their mental health. As the largest provider of childrens mental health services in
Southern Maryland, the Center for Children serves
4,500 people every year. Crisis intervention, court
advocacy and psychiatric testing are just some of
the many critical services it provides. Many parents
cannot pay for them and are without insurance. The
Centers project assures help to just such families.
Your donation can make a lasting difference in a
childs life.
Humane Society of Charles County, project
goal $2,500
Dogs at this shelter need long-term, loving families who know how to take care of them. To make
that happen, a professional trainer is now on staff to
work with pets and their future owners. Unfortunately, there is no space to conduct evaluations or counsel adoptive families. The trainer has been working
in the parking lot, as potential adopters stand under
the open tailgate of her minivan. A shed is a dire
need, giving the trainer space to ensure successful
adoptions. The structure requires siding, flooring,
and other suppliesthe Humane Society needs
funding for all of these things.
Accokeek Foundation, project goal $2,500
Young adults in Southern Maryland can get
hands-on agricultural training, thanks to the work
of this nonprofit. Accokeek operates both a Colonial era and a modern ecosystem on its 200 acres.
The Agriculture Conservation Corps teaches farm
management to equip budding farmers with new
skills, creating solutions to hunger, health and food
access. Support for this project will help provide
scholarships for young people who have a sincere
interest in farming but need practical experience to
fulfill their dreams.

We are only eight weeks old. For
right now, it is hoped that we be adopted in pairs but if we dont find
homes in pairs, when we are older
we will go individually.
We cost $125 and we are spayed/

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth

Forest Stewardship
Forest land is important to the overall
health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests
provide several layers, from the canopy
to the forest floor, that act as filters,
improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate
stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St.
Marys Countys land area is about 50%
forested, and has more than 400 miles
of shoreline. Wooded buffers along
these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested
lands produced the least amount of runoff and pollution. The County occupies
a forest transitional zone, where the
dominant tree species vary from oak/
hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red
maple and loblolly pine.
Forests can be harvested on a sustainable basis for materials, including
structural lumber, crates, shelving
and furniture, flooring, mulch, and
pulp for paper. Forests can, in most
cases, provide these products while

County residents with questions about

woodland stewardship and management, as well as timber harvesting,

NRP Launches Safe Boating

Campaign To Run Through Labor Day
Graves, whose department responds
to rescue calls in a jurisdiction with
more than 25,000 registered boats and
more than 500 miles of shoreline, noted
that the last three boating deaths this
year occurred in Anne Arundel County.
He urged people to wear life jackets and
follow safe boating practices.
Ziegler stressed, This safety campaign is not about writing tickets or
generating revenue. It is geared toward
keeping our citizens and visitors safe so
that they can return again and again to
enjoy Marylands waters, state parks and
beaches.
In addition to the patrols, NRP will
boost its presence at the states busiest
marinas and boat ramps for the next four
weekends. Members of NRPs reserve
officers corps will be offering free boat
inspections and safety pamphlets at: Assateague State Park; Sandy Point State
Park; Dam No. 4 on the Potomac River
in Washington County; Trappe Landing
on La Trappe Creek in Talbot County;
Shad Landing on the Pocomoke River in
Worcester County; the Port of Salisbury

Vowing to step up enforcement and

outreach to protect Marylands boating
public, the Maryland Natural Resources
Police today outlined a campaign that
will run weekends through Labor Day.
Seventeen people have died in boating
accidents in Maryland so far this year,
two short of the record reached in 2011
and 1996.
The victims ranged in age from 7 to
63. They were boaters, crabbers, paddlers, anglers, casual passengers out for
a fun day on the water, said Lt. Col.
Ken Ziegler, acting superintendent of
NRP. The vast majority of them were
not wearing life jackets. They all had
one thing in common: None of them
thought anything bad was going to happen to them that day.
Ziegler has authorized additional
weekend patrols from now through Labor Day weekend to enhance our visibility in high-traffic and problem areas.
These patrols around the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries, Ocean City and
Deep Creek Lake are dedicated to
boating safety. Officers will be checking for life jackets and other required
safety equipment, looking for reckless
boaters and targeting alcohol- and drugimpaired operators.
Ziegler was joined at the announcement by Anne Arundel County Fire
Chief Allan C. Graves and uniformed
representatives from U.S. Coast Guard
Sector Baltimore and Coast Guard
Auxiliary.

Shinnston W. Va.s Josh Richards, a former

three-time World of Outlaws Late Model series champion, drove to his first ever Potomac
Speedway feature win in last Friday nights
Gunters Honey 50 in front of a standing room
only crowd. The win for Richards, worth a
hefty $10,000 winners check, was his sixth
WoO win of the season and career 55th with
the series.
Rick Eckert and Morgan Bagley made up
the front row for the start of the 50-lap main
with Bagley gaining control of the event as the
field soared down the back stretch. Bagleys
lead would only last one circuit as sixth starting Josh Richards was coming hard and took
the race lead as the field completed the second
lap. Rick Eckert settled into second and would
get close to Richards on more than one occasion, but Richards had his Rocket no.1 set up
perfectly and would lead the remainder of the
race to score an impressive win. I really miss
racing around this area. Richards stated in
his post race interview. This region has some
of the best Late Model drivers in the country
and to come out on top with all the talent that
is here shows how strong our team really is.
Richards only scare during his winning drive
was heavy lapped traffic in the middle stages
of the event. Potomac is a real racy place and
every body is fast. Richards stated. I had to
try and slow myself down and pick the right
line to get through the lapped cars and we were
able to get through with no problems. This is a
big win for our team and I just want to thank
all the fans that came out and supported us
tonight. Eckert hung tough for second, 20th
starting Kyle Hardy was third, defending race
winner Austin Hubbard was fourth with Shane
Clanton completing the top-five. Bagley, Hubbard, Clanton and Richards scored heat race
wins over the 32-car field with twin B-Mains

going to Stevie Long and Kyle Lear.
In support class action Chuck Bowie became the third different winner of the season
with his win in the 16-lap Street Stock feature,
Jonathan Raley collected win number five in a
bizarre 15-lap Hobby Stock event with Corey
Swaim rolling to his 5th win of 2015 in the
nightcap 15-lap U-Car main.

BLEACHERS

Messages
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.

Contributing Writer
The names herein have been
changed to protect the innocent; however, the story is completely true.
Duke Radbourn, a Southern Maryland native, hadnt seen it in years,
but with the anniversary approaching,
a reunion was in order. Of course it
would take some doing. It was buried
in a storage room filled with Christmas
ornaments, random crap and miscellaneous sports memorabilia acquired
during a well-spent youth.
Tucked in a corner of the room he
found a promising lead: a box of vintage baseball cards. Rifling through
rows of cardboard classics, he found
it: a perfectly preserved ticket from
the Orioles game on September 5,
1995better known as Cal Ripken
Jr.s 2,130th consecutive game played,
a milestone that tied the immortal Lou
Gehrigs record.
Duke owed his possession of the
ticket and its associated memories to
a person he had picked on endlessly
growing up: his little sister. Heres
how the acquisition went down
Sept. 5, 1995: Duke arrive home
after a long day at the office and
checked his answering machine.
As he milled around the apartment
within earshot, a frantic message
from his sister played. She and her
college roommate were going to the
Os game. They had an extra ticket
for him. She left specific instructions:
meet at the Eutaw Street entrance just
before game time and she would hand
him the unused ticket through the
fence. After that, radio silence.
Dear God. She has what?
Dukes mind was on tilt. This was
his shot to witness live baseball history and he literally had no time to
spare.
Duke ran out to his truck and drove
down I-83 from his Cockeysville
apartment to the Inner Harbor like
a bat out of hell. The scene near the
ballpark was chaos. He dumped his
wheels in the first available lot figuring if it got impounded, it wouldnt
matteras long as he got in. Sprinting
to the stadium he started doubting if
he heard his sister correctly. Was this
real? What gate did she say? What
time? He was so close
Camden was a circus, a sea of orange. Huge 2-1-2-9 numbers adorned
the warehouse beyond the right field
fence; they would change to 2-1-30 shortly. Duke snaked through the
frenzy and got to the gate. He had
made it - somehow. Where was she?

Scanning the crowd for his 52 sister,
he heard his name and locked eyes
with his suddenly wonderful sibling.
Meeting at the fence she handed him
the ticketthe ultimate golden ticket
(sorry Willy Wonka). Duke ran back
in line and within minutes, he was
in the stands. He was in the freaking
stands for #2,130!!!
Twenty years later, as he clutched
the ticket and pondered the very different world of 2015, Duke realized
the ticket isnt the only timepiece; the
story associated with it is too. If the
same scenario was reenacted today,
there would be no answering machine.
Siss message would have been sent to
bro via text, giving Duke ample time
to divert course and drive directly
to the stadium, thereby avoiding the
white-knuckled drive down I-83. The
ticket exchange would have been casually and precisely coordinated via cell
phone no excitement, no uncertainty.
And the ticket itself? It would likely be
no more than a stale computer printout
from Stubhub or a scan-able barcode on
a smartphone, neither of which would
have produced the keepsake that Duke
fished out two decades later.
Of course such considerations are
purely hypothetical. Just as the technology has changed, so too have our
athletes. Suffice to say, Ripkens ultimate record of 2,632 consecutive
games played will never be broken.
Few athletes possess the skill and the
health to execute such a feat, and even
if they did, it would never occur to
them to try.
With the ticket tucked safely away,
Duke exited the cluttered room smiling. He was happy to be in amazing
world of today and happy to have
experienced Ripkens career and the
pre-internet age that produced his unforgettable 2,130 adventure. Mostly,
though, he was grateful his sister
called and that he thought to check his
answering machine.
