Bowie

Bowie -- The siding is concrete. The walls are concrete. The floor joists are concrete. The ceilings are concrete. Even the roofing is done with concrete shingles.Virtually everything in this 2,300-square-foot home model home here is made of concrete. And the concrete bears very little resemblance to old "cinder block" construction that has long implied dampness, cheapness or the mass production of industrial buildings.To show the public and the building industry what can be done with today's concrete building materials, the National Concrete Masonry Association will formally open its "Lifestyle 2000" house in Bowie Thursday.

Orioles left fielder Nolan Reimold, limited to 31 games this season by a right hamstring strain, is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday. Reimold is scheduled to play every day for Bowie, but he will switch between outfield and designated hitter duties each day. The 29-year-old Reimold, who went on the disabled list May 18, won't return to the major league club until the Orioles are convinced he is 100 percent, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Thursday.

When Lerner and Loewe's "Camelot" debuted on Broadway in 1960 with a cast headed by Richard Burton as King Arthur, Julie Andrews as Guinevere and Robert Goulet, an unknown Canadian in his first starring role, as Lancelot, the musical became an instant hit. Fifty-three years later, "Camelot" retains its luster, especially in 2nd Star's current production, now playing at Bowie Playhouse in White Marsh Park. Frederick Loewe's music and Alan Jay Lerner's lyrics are magic. Lerner is also responsible for the book, allowing King Arthur's message of hope and idealism to permeate almost every scene.

Matchup: Bowie State (0-0) at Cheyney (0-0) Time: 1 p.m. Site: O'Shields-Stevenson Stadium, Cheyney, Pa. Outlook: The good news is that Bowie returns 19 starters from a team that finished 3-7 last year. But the Bulldogs open with five straight road games. That will test coach Michael Lynn's veteran squad led by senior quarterback Jason Scott (Dunbar) and running back Isaac Redman. Cheyney (1-10 last year) hands the reins to rookie coach Jeff Braxton, a graduate of Salisbury. Bowie leads the series 9-4.

The Orioles snapped a six-game losing streak by beating the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. And then there was more good news for Orioles fans when news broke that Kevin Gausman was getting the call . With their rotation struggling, the temptation was too great for the Orioles, with a short-term solution and hopefully a long-term fixture in their rotation starting to dominate hitters just 30 or so miles down the road. Before Tuesday, their starting pitching this month had been mediocre at best as their replacement arms haven't been as effective as they were in 2012 . Meanwhile, down in Bowie, Gausman, the 22-year-old righty whom the Orioles drafted fourth overall last June, had settled in against Double-A competition.

Michelle Obama encouraged the graduates of Bowie State University on Friday to live up to the legacy of their university's founders and the leaders of the civil rights movement by promoting the importance of education in the black community. "Just think about this for a moment - for generations, in many parts of this country, it was illegal for black people to get an education," Obama told the predominantly black crowd, referring to the period in which Bowie State was founded. "Slaves caught reading or writing could be beaten within an inch of their lives.

When right-hander Zach Clark was summoned to Orioles manager Buck Showalter's office two weeks ago and told he was being designated for assignment, the conversation suddenly veered off in a peculiar direction. Clark, who at that moment was still digesting the end of his brief four-day stint in the majors after parts of eight years in the minor, said Showalter abruptly began talking about reigning National League Cy Young Award winner and current Toronto Blue Jays pitcher R.A. Dickey, who turned his career around after transitioning into a knuckleball pitcher.

Thanks to the tenacity of a director and a talented cast, fans of Cole Porter can get to know the composer's 1937 musical, "You Never Know," currently getting first-rate treatment at Prince George's Little Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse. The legendary lyricist and master tunesmith's farcical comedy is an exciting, charming close to the Little Theatre's 53rd season. Production director Roy Hammond says his love affair with the show dates back 16 years, when he discovered a CD of "You Never Know" in a Hollywood record shop.

Right-hander Zach Clark had a crazy week -- he went from being promoted to the majors, to pitching in his first big league game, to being designated for assignment and then finally to clearing waivers on Monday. The 29-year-old UMBC graduate has been sent to Double-A Bowie, where he'll work on throwing a knuckleball. After parts of eight seasons in the minors, Clark made his debut with the Orioles on Wednesday in Seattle and allowed three runs in 1 2/3 innings. He was taken off the 40-man roster to make room for Freddy Garcia.

Xavier Avery is not satisfied. Since being taken in the second round by the Orioles in 2008, the 23-year-old outfielder has risen through the minor league system and consistently found himself listed among the organization's best prospects. Last season, he played 32 games in three stints with the big league club and spent the rest of the year with Triple-A Norfolk. But after just a brief look this spring, Avery finds himself at Double-A Bowie, a victim of improved outfield depth in the organization, as he battles for another shot to impress the Orioles.

On June 18, 2003; MATTIE C. BOWIE (nee Blight); beloved wife of Jane E.

A Memorial Service will be held at the family owned Duda-Ruck Funeral Home of Dundalk, Inc., 7922 Wise Avenue on Saturday at 1 PM.

BOWIE - On his first off day as an Orioles minor leaguer, Double-A Bowie outfielder Henry Urrutia took a trip to Baltimore, where he got a tour of Camden Yards - the place he hopes his uphill and divot-filled baseball journey reaches its pinnacle. Thursday, Urrutia checked out the Orioles clubhouse, strolled up the steps of the home dugout and walked onto the field, where he took a 360-degree look around him and soaked in what seemed impossible growing up in Cuba. It was a memorable trip for the 26-year-old Urrutia - because it was the truest sign yet that his dream of playing in the big leagues was in reach.

BOWIE -- Before his first professional home game for Double-A Bowie on Friday night, Cuban outfielder Henry Urrutia said he'd be a little nervous playing in front of the crowd at Prince George's Stadium. He certainly didn't show any anxiousness when he stepped to the plate for his first at-bat to open the second inning. Urrutia,  the Cuban defector whom the Orioles signed to a $778,500 signing bonus in July, smoked the first pitch he saw from Harrisburg starter Brian Broderick over the center-field fence, an estimated 405 feet.
