Brenda’s Pizzeria employees learn from a pizza school

DEEP CREEK LAKE — Three employees of Brenda’s Pizzeria at Deep Creek Lake recently spent some time learning more about pizza from Master Chef Gregorio Fierro.

“We are always trying to stay current and on top of trends and pizza,” explained owner Brenda McDonnell. “We have always made our dough, and we wanted to get into featuring different pizzas and toppings and different types of pizzas.”

A supplier from Pittsburgh invited Fierro to teach a class in Pittsburgh, and Todd McEnroe of Nappie’s Food Service invited several employees to attend.

“I am so happy with the three guys who took the class,” McDonnell said. “They were there for five days and learning in the classroom and then actually making the doughs with Chef Gregorio.”

She noted that what they learned will be applied this summer with different pizza types made in the restaurant’s new ovens.

Taking the class were Brenda’s manager Sydney Bauman, Julian Coluzzi and Brian Pessini.

McEnroe explained that he has been with Nappie’s Foods for over 20 years. Nappie’s currently serves family-style restaurants, pizzerias, country clubs and white tablecloth restaurants.

“My specialty has always been the Italian segment of our business specializing in pizza,” he said. “I have been selling to Brenda for five-plus years now. I had the opportunity to host and participate in a pizza school by the premiere Pizzaiolo certification school in the world, which took a lot of planning and having/getting it to be certified by Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli out of Northern Italy.”

McEnroe noted that up to this point, the school had never allowed the class to be taught outside its headquarters in Italy or its certification school in Chicago.

Arrowhead Cove pilot dredging project on the table

May 12, 2023, by Eldin Ganic

Arrowhead Cove, at Deep Creek Lake, has been selected as a priority area for a pilot dredging project, Garrett County Chamber of Commerce said.

The project will involve the removal of accumulated sediment from the lakebed, revitalizing the waterbody, providing greater boater access, and preserving its ecological integrity.

In this pilot dredging project, Garrett County, the State of Maryland, property owners, and stakeholders will evaluate the pros and cons of dredging within Deep Creek Lake and determine if dredging other sediment-impacted Deep Creek Lake coves is a viable and cost-effective strategy for improving water recreation, water quality, and fish habitat.

The State of Maryland has provided all the funding for the project costs thanks in part to the efforts of former Senator George Edwards and former Delegate Wendell Beitzel.

A request for bids has been released and construction is anticipated to begin in late September 2023.

A public meeting will be held to share the analysis, timeline, and details of the project on Wednesday, May 24, at Garrett College GIEC, beginning at 6pm.

First Deep Creek Lake Visitors Map

The first Deep Creek Lake visitor’s map?

This 1936 map was made by Frank Corliss, who was in charge of the surveying for the original land acquisition of the lake. Labeled with roads, the businesses along the “strip” on 219 and lot owners, along with the factoid info on the right, it looks a lot like a visitor’s map to me.

Lots of cool details and info on here – stuff that’s long gone and some things that are still here.

For more info on the map, Frank Corliss and a downloadable bigger version, head over to Chris Nichols website: https://dimesy.com/…/the-first-visitors-map-of-deep…/
