Western Maryland wrestles with energy future

By Timothy B. Wheeler, The Baltimore Sun

12:27 a.m. EST, December 13, 2010

While Maryland’s energy future might lie in harnessing the breezes off Ocean City, the frontier for now is in the same place it’s always been — in the mountains of Western Maryland — where the region’s winds and coal and natural gas reserves are drawing prospectors.

That’s unsettling to some environmentalists and Western Marylanders, who fear the impact of new and traditional energy development on the region’s rich natural resources, its outdoors-oriented tourist industry and its rural quality of life.

Maryland’s first two industrial-scale wind “plants” are on the verge of generating power atop the state’s highest mountain in Garrett County. Though their construction stirred concerns over harming rare bats and disturbing forested vistas, a new string of them is being planned for another ridgetop.

Dec. 9, 2010

Garrett County commissioners Ernie Gregg and Fred Holliday held their final public meeting on Tuesday. Both are Republicans, and both lost their bids to retain their seats in the recent election. Dozens of county staff members and constituents were on hand for the meeting.

District 1 commissioner Gregg was elected to six terms (not all consecutive), and is the longest serving commissioner in the county’s history.

“It’s been a real honor for me to serve the people of Garrett County,” he said. “I’ve tried to do that with compassion, fairness, integrity, and, most of all, honesty.”

Commissioner Holliday has represented District 2 for three terms.

“It’s been an honor and privilege to serve the people of Garrett County for the past 12 years,” Holliday said.

He said he hoped some of those gathered at the meeting would forgive him for “sticking a pencil in their eye” in an effort to keep them on budget.

Michael A. Sawyers
The Cumberland Times-News Mon Dec 13, 2010, 07:50 AM EST

— CUMBERLAND — Wildlife officials on both sides of the North Branch of the Potomac River are looking at the significant declines in the number of bucks killed by gun hunters and some of them are trying to figure out just what happened.

In West Virginia, where the buck harvest is down 31 percent from a year ago and even more from previous years, Paul Johansen of the Division of Natural Resources believes it is a combination of things.
