Musings on summer - Ann Burnside Love - Frederick Post
I caught Ann’s piece in the Frederick Post, ‘Musings on Summer’ and I was delighted to see a mention of Deep Creek Lake:
“One of my life’s most delightful treasures is when No. 2 son, a retired Army Reserve colonel who works for the Pentagon, calls me every few days on his two-hour commute home to continue our conversation that began in his childhood.
He called while I was planning this column. I asked if he had any musings on summer. In response he shared recollections of a boy growing up on the edge of Thurmont , and this column took on its own life. With Steve’s permission, here are his summer memories and sensations.
— The warm, musky smell of freshly cut grass on a summer day.
…….
— The amazingly warm and enticing smell of baking bread while driving through Cumberland on the way to Deep Creek Lake.
Jay’s note: I share the love of fresh cut grass, but my musing on summer at Deep Creek Lake is the ‘smell’ of the breeze on the water. There is absolutely nothing on Earth like it, and its the perfect combination of flowers, trees, and a marine smell that makes me take a deep breath and thank God for creating this beautiful area!

How Golf Communities Came to the “Fore”
Lodestone Golf Course at Wisp Resort – Deep Creek Lake
Updated 5/14/2010 10:59 AM
By Larry Olmsted Special for USA TODAY
When W.G. Tarrant purchased nearly 1,000 acres outside London in 1911, he changed real estate history. His invention? What claims to be the first golf community, St. George’s Hill, with a course by designer Harry Colt. It was immediately successful — and still is, with houses running about $5 million. By using golf to sell residences, Tarrant let a genie out of the bottle.
A century later, there are thousands of residential courses. In China, they can’t be built fast enough. Mission Hills near Hong Kong has 12 courses and thousands of members. Second-home golf communities are around the globe, but the majority of North American buyers looking beyond the Caribbean and Mexico choose Western Europe.
The biggest appeal is high-quality golf.
“For decades, the U.S. residential golf market has followed a model of name-brand designers commanding higher prices, and now that model is being marketed abroad,” says Michael Patrick Shiels, author of Secrets of the Great Golf Course Architects.

Allegheny Energy merger will bring changes to customers
Maryland ratepayers will get 50-cent credit
Kevin Spradlin
Cumberland Times-News
CUMBERLAND — Maryland customers of Greensburg, Pa.-based Allegheny Energy Inc. will see changes after the company’s pending merger with Ohio-based FirstEnergy Corp., but they stand to be small ones, at least in the first few years.
The companies submitted an application Thursday to the Maryland Public Service Commission for authorization of the merger. They first announced their $4.7 billion merger agreement in February.
The combined company will be based in Akron at FirstEnergy’s current headquarters. But it will operate a regional headquarters somewhere in its Western Maryland service area, according to Allegheny Energy spokesman David Neurohr. The planned location of that headquarters hasn’t been released.
Maryland customers will receive a credit of about 50 cents per month on their energy bills over the two years following the merger. The credit will go to residential customers and will appear as a line item on each monthly statement, Neurohr said. For the company, that will add up to about $2.5 million over the two-year period.
It’s a step taken to demonstrate to the PSC that the merger will provide a concrete benefit to ratepayers, he explained.
In the application, FirstEnergy also included a guarantee that none of Allegheny Energy’s utility workers will be laid off as a result of the merger. That guarantee extends for two years after the merger is finalized.
Allegheny Energy employs about 380 people in Maryland, and about 4,400 overall.
The provision applies to the “physical work force,” Neurohr said — employees who maintain the wires and rights of way and handle other utility maintenance. It does not include office or executive staff.
FirstEnergy has committed to maintaining the same levels of community development and charitable donations as Allegheny Energy currently contributes in its service area for three years after closing the merger. After that, FirstEnergy will contribute an amount described as consistent with its donations in the company’s other service areas.
Neurohr said the PSC is required by law to provide a decision on the merger within 180 days, but has the ability to extend that period by another 45 days.
In the meantime, the merger must also be approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and regulatory agencies in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia, states also served by Allegheny Energy. Applications have been filed in each of those states, except in Virginia, where the companies plan to submit an application in the near future.
If authorized, the merger is set to close in the first half of 2011.

Their treat: Cops to give free desserts to kids in life jackets
From the Outdoors Girl blog:
From Deep Creek Lake to the waters around Ocean City, kids wearing life jackets while boating this summer could win a free dessert for putting safety first.
Following the worst season for boating fatalities in more than a decade, Maryland Natural Resources Police officers will be giving away coupons for Rita’s Italian Ice as part of a stepped up education and enforcement program. Also, coupons will be given out wherever the colorful “Wear-it, Maryland” truck is on display.
The coupons are good for a free Italian ice at any of Rita’s 80 Maryland shops.
Last year, Maryland had 16 fatal accidents, resulting in 17 deaths–the highest number in more than a decade. Sixteen of the 17 victims were not wearing life vests.
