Drivers Should be Alert for Deer as Activity Increases

Cooling temperatures, colorful leaves and unpredictable deer ─ all surefire signs that fall is upon us. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources urges motorists to be alert for deer and other wildlife as these animals seek fall food supplies and search for mates.

Deer, especially males, are prone to traveling without concern for roadways and automobiles during the fall, which is their breeding season. Motorists need to be especially alert from sunset to dawn as deer are more active during this period.

Garrett officials amend sewer service boundaries

OAKLAND — The Garrett County commissioners Wednesday unanimously approved an amendment to the Mountain Lake Park/Loch Lynn Heights sewer service area in the water and sewer master plan.

The last time the boundary was amended was in May 1982 and currently the ad valorem rate is 4 cents on $100 of the assessed value in the service area, according to Patrick Hudnall, administration and environmental chief of the Garrett County Department of Public Works Utilities Division.

“Almost all 81 percent of the properties affected by this change are currently paying that tax” said Hudnall.

John Wilson, a Mountain Lake Park resident, and another resident voiced concerns about having someone to service their sewer grinder pump.

Corridor H segment expected to open by late Nov.

WESTON, W.Va. (AP) – Another section of Corridor H in West Virginia is expected to open by Thanksgiving.

Corridor H coordinator Tommy Collins tells The Exponent Telegram (http://bit.ly/1wqvhN6 ) that the 1.5-mile segment is near the connector to W.Va. Route 42 and W.Va. Route 93 in the Mount Storm area.

Collins says another 4-mile section could open by the end of the year. But he says an early spring opening is more likely due to the weather.

Fracking's risks are manageable, so what's the holdup?

Your recent editorial argued that “the longer we wait before embracing fracking, the better informed we will be” (“Fracking still worrisome,” Oct. 7).

Why should Maryland continue to delay when the science overwhelmingly shows that hydraulic fracturing is safe?

US Winter Forecast: Cold, Snow to Seize Northeast; Wintry Blasts to Slick South

Though parts of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic had a gradual introduction to fall, winter will arrive without delay. Cold air and high snow amounts will define the season.

Farther south, ice storms and snow events will threaten the Tennessee Valley and parts of the southern Plains. Much of the South can prepare for a wet winter, with some severe weather encroaching on Florida.
