For retired Maj. Gen. Jo-seph McCarthy, 2002 was a dream fulfilled.
On Nov. 18, the career of-ficer stood out among those celebrating the ground-breaking of the first of sev-eral buildings planned for the Army Heritage and Edu-cation Center.
Construction was already underway on what would become Ridgway Hall, the new home of the Military History Institute and its more than 9 million books, photographs, manuscripts, letters and memoirs.
Beaming, McCarthy joked with the crowd, “There will be a slight pause while I count the zeros.” He had just been given an over-sized ceremonial check for $10 million by state Sen. Hal Mowery, R-31. The money was drawn from the Capital Budget Redevelopment As-sistance Fund.
“This is a great day... one we have looked forward to for five years,” McCarthy said. Finally, he had seen his dream from the 1990s start to take form. There will be a place where people can learn the story of the Army, one soldier at a time.
Today, AHEC is an ex-panding destination expect-ed to top more than 100,000 visitors by the end of 2011. The first phase of the Visitor and Education Center will officially open in April, fol-lowed later in the year by the conservation and restoration facility, which will be strictly off limits to the public.
out with the old 2002 was a year when the
old gave way to the new. It saw the opening of the Walmart supercenter at Carlisle Commons, built on the site of the former MJ Mall. Work crews also com-pleted the construction of a strip mall facing Noble Bou-levard to replace the former Wards department store. What used to be the Ames building was divided into three retail units, each with its own entrance to the out-side.
Not all change was as pos-itive. The Washington Red-skins professional football team announced in Novem-ber that it would no longer use the Dickinson College campus as its summer train-ing camp. The decision was made despite efforts by lo-cal, state and county officials to put together a financial package addressing some of the team’s concerns. A frus-trated Mayor Kirk Wilson summed up the feelings of many a Carlisle resident.
“Instead of ‘Hail to the Redskins,’ I say, ‘To hell with the Redskins,’” Wilson said. “This community is on a roller coaster with this team.” He added the Carlisle
community “ bent over backwards” to accommo-date a team that once made Carlisle its summer home.
Dickinson lured the team to Carlisle in 1963 and play-ers trained in the borough until 1994, winning three Super Bowls in the process. The team spent a few sea-sons at Frostburg State Uni-versity in Maryland before spending their 2000 train-ing camp at Redskins Park in Ashburn, Va. The Redskins returned briefly to Carlisle in 2001 and 2002 but now train at Redskins Park.
Murder on post There were other woes
for the local community in 2002. News surfaced in March of a murder at Carlisle Barracks. That October, Lt. Col. David P. Bartlett would admit in open military court that he killed his wife, Su-zanne, by beating her with an iron pestle and strangling her with a computer cord. The former research analyst with the Center for Stra-tegic Leadership was later sentenced to 25 years at Fort Leavenworth for the crime. He will be eligible for parole this year.
2002 also saw the arrest of embattled Carlisle property owner Robert Barrett and his business associate Walter Bender. Local police charged the men with arson and re-lated charges in connection with the March 2001 arson that destroyed three build-ings in the 100 block of East High Street.
Police say they found the melted remains of 24 one-gallon plastic milk bottles throughout the ground floor of 136 E. High St. Investi-gators believed the bottles were filled with gasoline and ignited to cause the fire that also destroyed 134 and 138 E. High St.
