Planners reject road alignment bid for ski resort site
Frederick County planners rejected the Ski College Mountain road realignment plan near Mount St. Marys College. The proposal would move 1500 feet of Crystal Fountain Road west of Annandale Road to open land for a 500 acre resort. The decision, reached Wednesday, must be considered again by the Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 6. Critics argued the move signals development, while supporters said it would address road safety. opponents noted existing roads suffice and warned of forest clearing and a new contour-aligned ski run.

Ocean City Maryland Farm Bureau Womens Committee faces transitions as members shift to off farm jobs. Leaders say time constraints reduce state level participation and weekend meetings may be needed. Leona Dell of Westminster notes many wives return to teaching or driving school buses to support families and some husbands seek supplemental incomes. The 14 000 plus member organization relies on women for legislative and volunteer roles, yet turnout drops from about 300 to around 150 at the annual meeting.
