On a recent red-white-and-blue autumn day, Chesapeake Harley-Davidson of Darlington received a certificate of award from DAR's Flag of the United States of America Committee for proper use, correct display and patriotic presentation of the flag of the United States. The award was presented by Joy Hare, regent of the Carter Braxton Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution, to Mike Nobile, general manager of Chesapeake Harley-Davidson. Regent Hare congratulated Chesapeake Harley-Davidson for flying the 20-by-40-foot United States flag above its Thunder Court entrance, illuminated 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Fourteen years ago on the outskirts of Ann Arbor, Mich., an 8-year old boy learned to be a football player. In the blistering heat of summer, the boy climbed and descended the concrete steps of Eastern Michigan's Rynearson Stadium, past empty bleachers as sweat dripped down his face. After, he would run route after route on the field, sprinting and chasing his older brother. As the young running back worked, his father watched, giving instruction. For years, through high school, the boy, Travis Davidson, would run those steps and those routes, never fully grasping why his father had him do this.

Morgan State @N.C. Central Saturday, 1 p.m. Radio: 88.9FM Morgan State coach Donald Hill-Eley and running back Travis Davidson had an enjoyable homecoming of sorts Saturday night at the expense of Savannah State. After a sluggish first half, Morgan State (3-2, 2-0) exploded in the third quarter and coasted to a 45-6 win over the host Tigers (0-5, 0-3) in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference game before an announced 1,978. The Bears led 14-6 at the half, but used a 38-yard kickoff return by Tyrone Hendrix to jump-start a 24-point outburst in the third quarter.

A 47-year-old Joppa resident died Wednesday night in a motorcycle accident on Old York Road, according to the Baltimore County police department.

While I agree that Jay Davidson mismanaged the Baltimore Grand Prix and was a poor CEO, he does make one valid point ("City must do more to support Grand Prix," Dec. 4). Other cities are succeeding at running these races by contributing more public money to it than Baltimore is. The reluctance to do so clearly shows how Baltimoreans have a narrow minded, small town attitude. Meanwhile, we throw money at Hollywood for productions like "Homicide" and "The Wire" that do nothing but destroy the city's image.

Hessie Abraham Davidson, former chairman of the Davidson Transfer & Storage Co., who counted among his many interesting and challenging moving jobs overseeing the moving of the U.S. Constitution, died Sept. 18 of complications from a stroke at Springhouse Assisted Living in Pikesville. The longtime Slade Avenue resident was 98. The son of Russian immigrants Isaac W. and Emma Davidson, he was born in Baltimore and raised on Hollins Street and later in a home on Groveland Avenue.

Jay Davidson is, admittedly, no gear-head. But as the president of the Baltimore Grand Prix, Davidson has been living and breathing all things IndyCar the past several months. The inaugural race will bring dozens of high-speed open-wheel cars to Baltimore on Labor Day weekend, competing on a roughly two-mile course through downtown. To prepare, city workers have had to shut down sections of major roads for repairs, angering many commuters. But the race and the festival that surrounds it will be worth all the aggravation, Davidson promises.
