That idea is far from correct, and I figured it out decades ago. The Moose parking lot is a strategic location of high value for good police work. It has been going on for decades. It is like a guard post, where patrols or responses to 911 calls go out from. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I figured it out long ago that the Moose is a good spot for cops being where they can see and hear things happening behind the middle school, out across the sports fields, up towards the high school and community college, vehicular and foot traffic (mostly school children) on Delvale, and down along the businesses on Merritt Ave.. There are several 24-hr convenience store gas stations within a block, and those type places attract criminal activities. There is plenty of through traffic - with tractor trailers plus school buses included - to and from Merritt Blvd, Peninsula Expressway, Sparrows Point, the Key Bridge, Baltimore City, etc. to monitor.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Fire Station Engine 6 is right across the street, where police can use the bathroom. They can also team right up with the firefighters leaving the firehouse on emergency calls, where police service is needed along with fire service. And that can make the difference between life and death in many situations. If you live in the area, or are in the area, a 911 call for help responded to from the Moose lot may be from you. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Eighteen years ago, I was helping raise my sister's grandson, in my house 4 blocks from the Moose. The little fellow swallowed a penny, and I called 911. I thought he was going to choke to death. Then in 3 or 4 minutes a police officer was at my door and came striding in - with deep concern written all over him - into my home carrying an obviously First Aid Bag with equipment for saving the child's life. The cop feared the boy was choking to death. That officer was relieved to find no kid dying, and the EMS who then arrived were advised by their emergency room contact that kids often swallow pennies, and then harmlessly pass them out in few days. I don't care where that officer was when he took the call, but if it was on the Moose lot that would be a 3 or 4 minute response. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Police officers there at the Moose can quickly respond to 911 calls coming from all directions. Officers can quickly respond to criminal problems, medical emergencies, and fires occurring by heading up Delvale and out past it towards Eastern Ave; or quickly to Stanbrook, Inverness and out further that way towards Berkshire and Eastpoint, and even to North Point Village, or out the beltway or to Essex for backup calls. They can easily head down Peninsula Expressway towards Sparrows Point/Edgemere/Ft Howard, or up Sollers Point Rd. to all the neighborhoods off of Sollers, then Watersedge and Turner Station; up to Dundalk Village Shopping Center, St. Helena, Old Dundalk, Dundalk Marine Terminal area; also down Dunmanway to Logan Elementary, Merritt Point Park, etc.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">They sit on the lot filling out their endless, necessary (at least mandated) paperwork, do investigative research online and over cell phones. They eat. They talk with each other about criminal cases, public safety weaknesses and strengths in the patrol area, and proper police procedure; about people passing by whom one officer has never seen but another there knows that the person is a good citizen or a criminal. Pedestrians and drivers who know cops may be there, or happen to see patrol cars there, can go over and alert them to crimes, accidents, fires, medical emergencies, etc.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Police cannot be expected to drive around and around on their shift, looking to stop, prevent and solve crimes and not stop driving till they do. There is a huge difference between police patrol driving and all other types - police steadily remain tensed a bit, as they anticipate how to respond to criminal activities, road accidents, medical emergencies, etc; they study various public safety aspects in the area, always having to wonder if their death or other injuries by criminals or accident will occur. A good patrol officer must be aware of as much of their surroundings as possible, listening for sounds of problems while glancing or looking intently here and there in different directions. Also for odors, including fire, gas, chemicals, dead bodies, etc.. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've worked driving taxis for Dundalk companies, and in busy times driven around the community, and into and out of it for hours on end. As much as 6 to 8 hours before stopping to take a break. Driving long hours makes a person tired. Cabbies suffer fears of crime, also, but taxi drivers avoid trouble, while police look to stop and/or prevent other peoples' trouble. Police remain prepared to jump out and go at trouble, knowing they sometimes encounter hostile, angry, scared and/or psychotic people with weapons. That intensity wears a person down, and inflicts lifelong negative effects of PTSD on officers' lives. Along with their loved ones' lives. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have lived more of my life in those areas that the Moose lot affords good police access to and from than anywhere else. I graduated from Dundalk High School in '68, and have attended many classes at the community college next to DHS. I've visited relatives and friends all over those areas. I have shopped, worked, ridden and driven in the areas. Taken Sunday rides. Gone to many celebratory events. All for sixty-some-years.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have walked past that Moose a thousand times, day and night, in all kinds of weather. In the 70's, two police cars did a stop and ID check plus a wants & warrants thing on me, when I was walking home between the Middle School and Moose from a girlfriend's apartment late at night there. I didn't like being stopped like that, but appreciate that they could have been nabbing a guy with heavy warrants out on him and kept that criminal from committing more crime in my neighborhood. I ain't angry at the law, but at the bad guys causing fears.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Walking can be very scary at times, and I have avoided being a victim of crimes then by strategic thinking and actions. Including right there in that lot when no police were present. They aren't there more than being there, and should not be there the majority of the time. I sure wish they'd a been there, because I scared the perpetrator away and he went on to be arrested a few hours later as he was committing serious crimes against others. Thirty-five years in the penitentiary worth of repeat crimes, and he had recently been released from decades in prison for the previous ones. And while those new crimes were happening, I had gone right to a friend's place a few blocks away to borrow a pistol to go hunt that #*****#~~~ criminal down, but the gun owner was out. Yes indeed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">When I learned that perpetrator had been arrested, I went up to the police station and told them I can witness that he was in the area if that helps. I said, "He walked past me holding his hands out from his sides a bit (like challenged gunslingers in movies), which kept his writs from rubbing against a weapon tucked under his shirt into his pants, and his shirt tail was out and helping conceal the weapon, which I suspect is a knife." An officer in the station walked past holding a large kitchen knife and told me that that is what I had accurately perceived was there. My life experiences of seeing or not seeing police cars on the Moose lot have been that intense. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have military experience, plus have done civilian security patrol work. I am experienced at searching for and guarding against criminals and our nation's enemies. At all times of day and night in all kinds of weather. And, like most kids, I grew up feeling and thinking protectively of my family, community & country. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Consequently, I thought all these things over a few decades ago. Because, like many other people, I did not appreciate the cops sitting there, until I thought it through and realized how well that location for parked patrol cars serves my hometown.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">And, you know, many folks in the general public prefer police sitting in their vehicles where cops can be seen on duty and also there's a chance of errant, or overworked, officers being discovered if napping. Or worse.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">That Moose parking lot is a good strategic location of high value for police work and public safety concerns. Unappreciative people need to face those facts and appreciate them. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Many other people do.</span></p>ursusdavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04958025230159971359noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485694493894587509.post-26501063841910185472014-02-23T18:26:00.000-05:002014-02-23T18:49:11.268-05:00Year 2013 Photos of Old Dundalk High School<br />

<span style="color: #000099; font-family: verdana;">Eddie Money and his band at the 2011 Dundalk Heritage Fair. The little stereo microphones, on my inexpensive Nikon Coolpix 110, can't handle the heavy, loud sounds of drums and bass guitars on Stage 1/The Shipway Stage at the fair. So the sound comes out terribly distorted, but you get to see how good the band looked in Dundalk Heritage Park - on July 3, 2011.
<br /><br />
You can see - and thoroughly enjoy - the best danged collection of Eddie Money concert photos and some half-decent video clips on my Flickr pages. I took good shots of every member in the band, and they all have some nice photos of them amongst these offerings. So rock and roll on over to: <br /><br />

There's also lots of enjoyable music played by other - foot-tappin'-good-get-up-and-dance - music artists, there are plenty of fun and interesting activities for children and adults to get into, the fair's crafts area is well stocked and very nicely presented, there are local history booths - including school alumni associations, and the food is tummy terrific.<br /><br />The 2010 Dundalk Heritage Fair will be held on July 2nd, 3rd and 4th in beautifully tree shaded and grass carpeted Dundalk Heritage Park. The park is located behind quaint, historic Dundalk Village Shopping Center, which is at Dundalk Avenue and Center Place. Fair hours are 12pm to 10pm. Children under 12 get into the Heritage Fair for free, adults pay $5.00.<br /><br />On Friday, July 2nd, The Mahoney Brothers Long Live The Beatles show will begin at 7:30pm on the main stage. Someone once told me that Ringo Starr was asked - on the Howard Stern Show - how he felt about Beatles tribute bands, and Ringo replied, "I don't mind as long as they're good, like The Mahoney Brothers." <a href="http://www.mahoneybros.com/">The Official Site of THE MAHONEY BROTHERS</a><br /><br />On Saturday, July 3rd, Bowzer's Rock 'n' Roll Party will begin at 8pm on the main stage. You can see the kinds of old time Rock and Roll greats he brings to his shows at:<br /><a href="http://www.bowzerparty.com/">Welcome to Bowzer's Rock 'N Roll Party!</a><br /><br />On Sunday, July 4th, The Turtles concert - featuring Flo and Eddie - will begin at 8pm on the main stage. They're a band of great musicians who have professional histories of performing and recording with all kinds of other famous Rock and Roll stars: including Todd Rundgren, Hot Tuna, Alan Parsons, Meat Loaf, Edgar Winter, The Cars, Lou Christie, and Paul McCartney; and they have been on many TV shows, worked on Broadway and on films, have been in videos and featured in music industry magazines, and on and on; and Flo and Eddie have great music histories too, which includes singing with Baltimore born Frank Zappa on four Mothers of Invention albums and a movie. There is no telling which fantastic Rock 'n' Roll tunes they will play, because they sure are some hard core, long time Rock and Rollers. Check out their impressive music bios at:<br /><a href="http://www.theturtles.com/documents/turtles_now.html">The Turtles Now</a><br /><br />Here is the link to the entire Heritage Fair schedule:<br /><a href="http://dundalkheritagefair.com/entertainment">Heritage Fair - Entertainment</a><br /><br />Deborah Rudacille, author of the book - <a href="http://deborahrudacille.com/books/roots-of-steel">Roots of Steel Boom and Bust in an American Mill Town</a> - will be having a book reading/signing event at the Dundalk Heritage Fair, in Heritage Park's gazebo. Times are July 3rd, 1:30 to 3:30, 5:30 to 7:30, July 4th, 5:30 to 7:30. <br /><br />The official Dundalk Heritage Fair web site's "About Us" page has been updated with excellent writing about the Heritage Association of Dundalk volunteers who make the fair happen every year. <a href="http://dundalkheritagefair.com/about_us">Heritage Fair - About Us</a><br /><br />Come and check out the Facebook page:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/pages/We-Enjoy-The-Dundalk-Heritage-%20%20Fair/119214141426488?ref=ts">We Enjoy the Dundalk Heritage Fair</a><br /><br />The Dundalk Heritage Independence 6K run will be held on Saturday morning, July 3rd, at 7am. All race info is available at: <a href="http://www.charmcityrun.com/page.cfm?pageid=33&eid=945">Charm City Run</a><br /><br />The 76th annual Dundalk 4th of July Parade will be held on Saturday, July 3rd, 2010, beginning at 8:15am. The route is the same as always. And sections of it are no more than a block away from the Heritage Fair.<br /><br />The Dundalk Fourth of July Fireworks display will be held at approximately 9:15pm on Saturday evening July 3, 2010, by the North Point Government Center at Merritt Boulevard and Wise Avenue. If you can see the top of the North Point Police Station radio tower, you can see most of the fireworks.<br /><br />It's gonna be a hard Rockin', weekend long, Fourth of July Independence Day Celebration in Dundalk, Maryland!<br /><br />A set of photographs of last year's Dundalk Heritage Fair, a set of last year's parade photos and sets of photos that include fireworks photos and great shots of the Dundalk area, can be viewed at: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ursusdave/sets/">ursusdave's photosets on Flickr</a>, or on this blog, if you scroll down and keep on checkin' it out.<br /><br /></div></span>ursusdavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04958025230159971359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485694493894587509.post-46686042196118055362009-07-16T00:40:00.029-04:002010-06-17T23:13:27.619-04:00My Year 2009 Dundalk Heritage Fair Photos<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihifK-zLkyAIpoiqTTB_ifelhDL_ER0lWPAOqzWBcQK7DoDP2oM-kjKY6ChcYYuDj7KFQHu-xQ_QzQdxcV02iMIQDvwoRdBFt2a5iK8Ccp-epl0-nkYfhbv29K9MfmF0ap6bQr5PEVSWWf/s1600-h/01+arch+sized.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 274px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358914845499234338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihifK-zLkyAIpoiqTTB_ifelhDL_ER0lWPAOqzWBcQK7DoDP2oM-kjKY6ChcYYuDj7KFQHu-xQ_QzQdxcV02iMIQDvwoRdBFt2a5iK8Ccp-epl0-nkYfhbv29K9MfmF0ap6bQr5PEVSWWf/s400/01+arch+sized.jpg" /></a><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,0,153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Photography by David Robert Crews</span><br /></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153);font-family:verdana;" >Welcome to my year 2009 Dundalk Heritage Fair photography blog postings.<br /><br />The photography assignment -- which I had given to myself -- was to completely and clearly reveal that: the Dundalk Heritage Fair is held in comfortable, convenient, big-strong-beautiful-shade-tree endowed, and grass carpeted Dundalk Heritage Park; the Fair is well attended by some mighty fine, completely relaxed, friendly and fun loving folks; everything about the fair is usually a good experience; and dedicated, hard working, selfless volunteers from the community of Dundalk, Maryland make the Heritage Fair the outstanding success that it has been every year for the past 34 years.<br /><br />This set of photographs is also all about natural photographic talent. Because, due to an unfortunate set of long standing circumstances, I could not photograph the 2009 Dundalk Heritage Fair with professional camera gear but had to photograph it all with an old Cannon Sure Shot "point and shoot" film camera that I borrowed. Manually operated pro gear allots me tons of creative control, which the all automatic Sure Shot does not.<br /><br />And there no longer is an old fashioned photo lab at Dundalk Community College for me to do custom enlarging in. If you would care to view a substantial selection of my previous work done in that photo lab, along with much of my entire photography portfolio, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ursusdave/sets/">check it all out at this link</a>.<br /><br />Also, I did the job at my own, personal expense, and I can't afford to have the negatives scanned as raw files, then fully enhanced, before they were turned into JPEGs -- with the limitations in sharpness and other photographic qualities that JPEGs are known for. But JPEGs load up onto a web page much faster.<br /><br />Those losses of creative control really hurt me, but if I hadn't just told ya' you'd never know it's so when you're having a good time viewing my Heritage Fair photographic work.<br /><br />I am a low income, disabled US Army Veteran, who has spent the past decade earnestly working and fighting to recover from substantial, devastating personal and financial losses, so it was rough on me -- in several ways -- to do this photography job. But the results are outstanding.<br /><br />All things considered, including an inner drive to work as long and hard everyday as is possible, I love doing as much photography as I can.<br /><br />There are 26 more Heritage Fair photography blog posts on this web site.
