The Guess Who – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In baseball and public works, everyone likes the home run.Baltimore has its Inner Harbor, Washington, D.C., its Smithsonian, San Antonio its River Walk, Raleigh-Durham its Research Triangle.Nice if you can get them.These home runs guarantee a steady flow of people, money and vibrancy into a community and serve as mainstays for countless other attractions.Sometimes though, it is helpful to face the fact that there is no single silver bullet to guarantee a community’s fame and fortune. If that is the case, a community must develop a patchwork quilt of smaller attractions that, together, are bigger than the sum of their parts.Two major local initiatives, or proposed initiatives, of the past decade were the Civil War museum and the Hagerstown airport runway extension.The proposed $40 million museum fizzled outright; the $60 million airport runway is indeed being extended, but county officials are lowering expectations of its potential at every turn.This week, yet another airline announced that it can’t make any money on passenger service out of Hagerstown without federal subsidies. So naturally, it plans to end service on Sept. 30.We’ve seen this happen so often it’s hardly news anymore. Each time, another subsidy and another carrier comes through at the last minute, but the truth is obvious: On its own, Hagerstown can’t support a profitable passenger service.In 2002, airport officials, touting the need for a longer runway said regional jets would be the “wave of the future.” The idea was that travelers – in exchange for shorter lines and easy parking – would drive to a “regional hub” to avoid the crush of metropolitan airports.From there, they would be jetted to a major hub, or an outright destination. At the time, critics questioned how an airport that couldn’t fill a 30-seat turboprop could expect to fill a 70-seat jet. Those concerns were dismissed under the “build it and they will come” philosophy.Reality has since set in, and officials now say the “runway is not really all about commercial service.”That’s an important realization. Just because you swing for the fences and miss, doesn’t mean you can’t manufacture a run with a walk, a single to right and a sacrifice fly.The long runway can still be an attraction to industries that, for example, specialize in jet repair. And creative passenger opportunities exist. Some southern beach cities are subsidizing flights from northern cities to their towns.A regional hub would have been nice, but in its absence, the airport can still cobble success out of a series of smaller deals.A mammoth Civil War museum would have been nice too. But like the airport, it was always a matter of numbers. It didn’t take a full-blown marketing study to suspect that such a massive endeavor would never pay for itself with the foot traffic we could reasonably hope to expect.Several days ago, however, Hagerstown Council Member Penny Nigh floated an interesting and commendable compromise. Rather than demolish a city block for a grand new building, Nigh suggests the city renovate the historic Alms House on Locust Street and perhaps fashion it into a more modest Civil War museum.That’s exactly the type of project the city can manage, and while it won’t become a be-all, end-all destination, it would become a valuable piece of the Hagerstown puzzle that is slowly taking shape.Needless to say, it would also preserve an 18th century building that is steeped in history, and help stabilize a struggling city block.That’s a worthy goal in itself, and because of that, the city doesn’t “need” 100,000 visitors to it a year to justify the cost. A small, steady stream of visitors would do just fine. As Nigh says, “we could make this a place for everyone.”There is a very good chance that such a museum would attract several thousand people a year to a downtown that they wouldn’t have set foot in otherwise.We tend to get a bit wrapped up in individual statistics, when it’s more important to look at the whole. Yes, the Hagerstown Suns baseball team might “only” attract 1,000 people to a game. But add that the number of people crossing city lines to visit Discovery Station, the ice rink, the Maryland Theatre, City Park, the university campus, city restaurants, the Arts Council, library – and now, hopefully, the proposed Civil War museum and school for the arts. Take a step back and a larger picture begins to emerge.Every pixel is important because it’s part of the photograph.Since such an ample slice of Washington County’s historical hat is hung on the peg of the Civil War, it’s not only fitting that the downtown get in on the action, it’s distressing that nothing has come to fruition before this.Museums are curious things. For an adult, they can generate mild to enthusiastic interest. But to a child they can open up a new world. They can plant the seed of a career. When the arts school opens downtown, a flood of bright students will enter the city. Any and all educational diversions would be most welcome.Nigh’s idea is a good one that comes at a good time. And for Hagerstown, manageability is more important at the moment than magnificence. It’s a goal that can, and should, be accomplished. Grandiose schemes haven’t worked out so well for us in the past, so maybe the lesson here is to think small – but think often.

CASCADE – Most of the players assembled on the field Sunday were not original members of The Summiteers, yet they gathered in the spirit that kept the semi-pro baseball team active for nearly two decades in postwar America.With borrowed gloves and a couple of bats between them, three generations of guys divided into two teams with what seemed to be dual purposes – to laugh and to play ball.The five original members of The Summiteers in attendance were given an opportunity to speak before the game, sharing their memories with some mountain residents who had never before seen them play and others who remembered them well.”A lot of years. A lot of fields. I hardly missed a game,” one man said just before the first notes of “The Star-Spangled Banner” were heard.Organizers of the second annual Mountain Top Heritage Days, a three-day festival this weekend, wanted to pay tribute to the team that captured pennants in 1954, 1955 and 1956. They donned blue-and-white striped shirts with “Summit” on the front and threw four plates onto the grass on Fort Ritchie’s parade grounds.It was there that Ray Harbaugh, Charlie Poole and Ted Blubaugh relived an experience once such a key part of their daily lives.

Ceremony Reason For Celebration Local Residents Sworn In As Citizens Fourth of July baseball provided some colorful scenes Wednesday at New Britain Stadium, even if a steady drizzle postponed the second game of the Rock Cats’ doubleheader against the Portland Sea Dogs, who won the opener 4-2 before 4,794.

Before the second inning and his first at-bat, the jovial man shared a secret.”I’m going to bunt,” he said, claiming that he was the best bunter on the team for years.Poole teasingly swung the bat for the first two pitches that crossed home plate. Then, with a smile on his face, he did just as he promised, bunting the ball a short distance and allowing another man to run for him.Blubaugh served as the game’s pitcher, something he did for 45 games annually from 1953 to 1956.”I enjoyed every game, every minute,” he said.He and Harbaugh reminisced about building the field, dugouts and backstop at the sportsman’s club.”All of us fellows got together. Some had a pickup truck, and we hauled all the gravel, dirt. We put up the roofing tin for a fence,” Blubaugh said.The Summiteers, who wore white uniforms in the 1950s, traveled to New Windsor, Westminster and Frederick in Maryland for games, according to Blubaugh.Collections were taken at games to support the activity, Harbaugh said.Harbaugh was a familiar face at first base between 1944 and 1957.”I had five years in between there when I played pro ball,” he said.Harbaugh said he played for the St. Louis Browns and Hagerstown Owls before returning to The Summiteers.”I used to live right outside the gate here,” Harbaugh said, pointing to one of the Fort Ritchie entrances.Members of the military were important parts of the teams in the 1950s, Harbaugh said.”It was just a community thing, I guess. It was a lot of work, too. It wasn’t all play. Boys of summit gather for old-timers game
