“Attached are 2 maps. The first map indicates the location of 2 new areas where Hydrilla was identified by DNR staff during the comprehensive Deep Creek Lake survey conducted the week of September 15, 2014. The new locations are near Sorbus Lane, and 4-5 small patches of Hydrilla near Thousand Acres Road. The second map indicates the locations of all Hydrilla identified by DNR in 2013 and 2014.
DNR staff will treat the newly identified small patches of Hydrilla on Monday, September 29 with herbicides. The 4-5 patches that are in close proximity with each other near Thousands Acres Road will be treated as a block of about 2-3 acres. The remaining treatment will be approximately 1/10 acre total near Sorbus Lane.
The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) are moving forward with the US 219 I-68 to Meyersdale Project Planning Study. The US 219 I-68 to Meyersdale Project Planning Study was recently reinitiated after it was put on hold during the economic downturn in 2007.
The US 219 I-68 to Meyersdale Project intends to improve the economic development potential along US 219, roadway linkage between I-68 and the Meyersdale Bypass, safety of motorists, and level of service by providing safe and efficient access.

Ryan jumps around on the concrete lining the Adventure Sports Center International course in an U.S. Soccer jersey and matching bandanna and American flag face paint. He watched all of this summer’s World Cup and plays soccer, but this is his first time watching slalom canoe or kayak.
When asked which he enjoys more, international soccer or international kayaking, the 7-year-old finally stops moving and takes a few seconds to answer. “Kayaking,” he decides, and goes back to playing on the grass and the tiered seating area.
His mom, Cathy Witt, is impressed that a day at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships near Deep Creek Lake had such a quick impact on him. Witt saw a posting on Facebook about a world championship just 45 miles from their home in Cumberland, Md., and figured it was worth checking out.
“I figured it’s a once in a lifetime thing, being here and watching it,” she said. “It has an Olympic-feel, and the kids are really into the Olympics so for them to be here and in this type of atmosphere.”

Best deal in Mountainside! 4BR home priced to SELL. Tax assessment 2 years ago was $675k. Solid construction and plenty of attractive features throughout. Multiple master BRs, stone fireplace and a sun-drenched lot. Lake access with dock slip possible through community.
Edinburgh canoeist David Florence believes he is peaking at the right time as he prepares to defend his two world slalom titles at Deep Creek Lake in Maryland this week.
The double Olympic silver medallist struck gold in the C1 singles and C2 doubles in Prague last September and recent form suggests that the 32-year-old is well capable of producing a repeat performance in America.
Florence was a close second in this summer’s World Cup C1 singles standings after winning in London and finishing second in Prague and Augsburg and he confirmed: “I’ll take confidence from my performances. I’ve had a really good season, even though you always want it to be better. Winning in London [at the Olympics] was fantastic and the season steadily built as it went along. I couldn’t ask for any more.”
His old rival, Slovak legend Michal Martikan, pipped him to the overall World Cup title by just 15 points, but Florence feels there is no clear favorite this week.
