Controlled burn clears 18 acres at Conowingo

CONOWINGO — Fifteen people representing the Maryland Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy worked together Tuesday to conduct a controlled burn of 18 acres of land known as The Serpentine Barrens along Old Conowingo Road. Chase McLean was the Fire Boss for this operation. “Based on the immediate fire effects, it appears that we were able to meet our ecological objectives for the burn, although the real results won’t show until next growing season,” McLean said. “Everyone remained safe and we did not have any incidents during the operation.

Before the controlled burn began, the people

Maryland "is facing an energy crisis," utility Pepco says

"Maryland is facing an energy crisis," electric utility Pepco warned in a message to customers Thursday. "When demand for electricity is high and supply is limited, it puts pressure on the system and can increase costs," the message said, advising that customers "may see changes in your energy bill" as the region enters the winter months. The utility again has attempted to explain that many of the surging costs are not its responsibility, such as the taxes and fees imposed by Montgomery County and Maryland state governments. It specifically mentioned the EmPOWER Maryland fee that the Maryland legislature recently hiked again. Politicians hope that you will think Pepco is charging you these fees, which is part of the impetus for the utility to inform customers to the contrary.
