Support the Republiucan Newspaper! It’s only $9.95/year for the online edition!

A 72-year-old Piedmont, W.Va., man was located alive and in good condition in the Savage River State Forest by searchers on Sunday, June 6, at 8:30 p.m., according to a report from the Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP).
James Lewis Alt had been missing since June 5 at 4 p.m. when he failed to return to the vehicle after he had been hunting for ginseng on state forest property. He was located approximately one mile from where he was last seen and 1½ miles from the nearest road. Alt was suffering from back pain and dehydration. He was removed from the location by a wheeled stokes basket.

Alt and two other companions separated from each other at 11 a.m. on Saturday in the area of Savage River Road. The group was to meet back at the vehicle at 4 p.m., but Alt failed to return at that time. Alt was reported missing at 8 p.m.

The search continued for Alt throughout the night. The NRP Search Support Unit coordinated the search. The following organizations assisted in the search: NRP K-9, Maryland Park Service, Maryland Forest Service, Appalachian Search and Rescue Conference, Mid Atlantic Search Dogs, Mountain Rescue Group, Horse Base Search Group (TrotSAR), Potomac Valley SAR, and Bloomington Volunteer Fire Department.

A total of sixty–five searchers looked through 6,000 acres of steep terrain and heavily wooded forest on foot and on horseback. An NRP spokesperson expressed his appreciation to the following organizations for their food donations to the participants during the search: Oakland Wal-Mart, Grantsville Subway, Grantsville Arby’s, Grantsville Exxon, and Keyser’s Ridge McDonald’s.

Support the Republiucan Newspaper! It’s only $9.95/year for the online edition!

Jun. 10, 2010

Garrett Lakes Arts Festival (GLAF) will present the classical crossover musical trio, Time for Three, on Saturday, June 19, at the Lodge at Wisp Resort in McHenry. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m.
“Violinists Zachary De Pue and Nicholas Kendall combine their love of fiddling in country western and bluegrass styles with bassist Ranaan Meyer’s deep roots in jazz and improvisation,” a GLAF spokesperson said. “As a special treat, there will be a meet-and-greet reception immediately following the concert. A cash bar will be available. Guests are invited to stay to meet these talented musicians and enjoy complimentary desserts and coffee provided by Wisp Resort.”

According to the spokesperson, Time for Three has earned distinction as a groundbreaking, “category-shattering” trio going beyond traditional classification, combining elements of classical, country western, gypsy, and jazz.

“What started as a trio of musicians who played together for fun while students at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute for Music evolved into Time for Three, or tf3 for short – a charismatic ensemble with a reputation for limitless enthusiasm and no musical boundaries,” the spokesperson said.

The Garrett Mentors will attend a free daytime rehearsal on Saturday.

Tickets for the Saturday evening concert are $30 for adults, $5 for students, and free for children 5 years and younger (tickets are required).

Tickets may be purchased by calling the GLAF office at 301-387-3082, or through the GLAF web site, located at http://www.artsandentertainment.org/

Sponsor partners for this event are Frank and Linda Lancelotta, Edward W.S. and Jeanne Neff, and Chuck and Becky Zellefrow.

Season sponsors of Garrett Lakes Arts Festival are First United Trust & Investments, Howard and Audrey Naylor Family Trust, Jim O’Connell and Connie Leary, Sincell Publishing Company, and Wisp Resort, with additional funding from Garrett County Arts Council, Maryland State Arts Council, and PennPAT.

$3.5 million dollar sale at Deep Creek Lake – Baltimore Sun

Real Estate Wonk – Jamie Smith Hopkins – Baltimore Sun

In this difficult market for high-end homes, at least one seller found a buyer without looking.

A Deep Creek Lake house that changed hands last Friday for $3.5 million — a record in the Western Maryland vacation spot, according to the buyers’ agent — wasn’t actually on the market. The buyers looked at homes people wanted to sell but didn’t fall in love with any of them, so agent Betsy Spiker with Long & Foster Real Estate thought she’d call the builder whose family lived in the stucco home pictured above to see if he’d be willing to part with it.

“I said, ‘I do know the family in that house — let me take a shot in the dark here,'” she said.

It worked.

What, you might ask, are the buyers getting for their $3.5 million? The house as it stands now is four bedrooms with three full bathrooms and two half bathrooms on the main and upper levels. But the contract includes a deal for the builder to finish the huge, 3,100-square-foot basement, adding a bedroom and a variety of elements from a sauna to an elevator.
