Town Council Arrives at Consensus on Joint Tourism Agreement with the County

A high-stakes work session of the Town Council on November 9 covered a wide variety of business items, including the possibility that two new centrifuges housed in a building to be constructed for that purpose might replace the less effective process represented by the rotary fan press currently being used for dewatering, in which liquids are separated from solids. While this acquisition indicates a significant financial investment, it could save the Town as much as $100,000 per year. Also, the council heard from Warren County Economic Development Director Patrick Barker about six target industries the Board of Supervisors has embraced, inviting the Town to do the same.

10 Stink Bug Secrets Most Maryland Residents Never Knew

Maryland residents often notice stink bugs when the weather begins changing, especially in late summer and fall when these insects start appearing around windows, doors, and sunny exterior walls. One may crawl across a screen, another may settle near a porch light, and several may suddenly show up inside a home despite doors and windows appearing closed.
