Deep Creek Lake in Maryland
Deep Creek Lake, which has a lake for boating, fishing and swimming and a mountainous ski resort, is a four-season vacation destination, says Betsy Spiker Holcomb, a real estate agent with Long & Foster in Deep Creek Lake.
“This is a unique area with the lake right at the base of ski resort,” Holcomb says. “We have some retirees who live here six months of the year, but most of our buyers are families with middle-aged parents and active kids. They learn to ski, to water-ski and wake-board, and then they want to come back every year.”
Dan Rodricks: In Oakland, Md., tradition demands a Memorial pause for those departed
OAKLAND — In this “great small town” at the western edge of Maryland, they have observed Memorial Day on the last Monday of May every year since 1893, with a procession up the hill from Third Street and a ceremony under an oak tree and a hemlock in the town cemetery.
The oak and the hemlock are still there, big as history, and providing shade for the ceremony by the grave of an unknown Union soldier who died in Garrett County during the Civil War.
“He was wounded in Winchester, Va., and they brought him to Oakland to be treated by Dr. [Josiah Lee] McComas,” said Randall Kahl, the historian for the American Legion post here. “The soldier died, and they didn’t know his name.”
So the townspeople buried him between the oak and hemlock. For decades, a wooden cross marked the grave. The Legion replaced it with a handsome stone in 1950. Every Memorial Day, an Oakland woman put a red rose atop the stone at 6 a.m. The woman’s daughter has continued the tradition, Kahl said, pointing to the long-stemmed rose that had been placed on the stone Monday morning.

Supreme Court strikes down Maryland tax law
WASHINGTON —The Supreme Court on Monday struck down as unconstitutional a Maryland tax that has the effect of double-taxing income residents earn in other states.
Maryland officials say the 5-4 ruling means the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenues. It also could affect similar tax laws in nearly 5,000 local jurisdictions in other states, including New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The justices agreed with a lower court that the tax is invalid because it discourages Maryland residents from earning money outside the state.
The unusual split wasn’t along ideological lines. Writing for the court, Justice Samuel Alito said the tax “is inherently discriminatory” under the Constitution’s Commerce Clause. The court has interpreted that provision to ban states from passing laws that burden interstate commerce.
Alito was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor.
