Debate Grows Over Frederick City Golf Course Costs
Frederick officials defend Clustered Spires Golf Course as a public recreation, while opponents argue municipal subsidies distort fair competition. The six year old course has lost $581,000 since opening, with 1996 state figures showing a $299,469 loss. Proponents cite lower greens fees and entertainment tax revenue as public benefits, while critics warn of market saturation and unfair taxpayer burden.

Mormons Mark Heritage Day by Labor on Walkersville RR
About 60 members from Frederick's Monocacy Ward joined the Walkersville Southern Railroad project to dig up rotten ties and replace them, scrub a train car, and rebuild a platform. They aimed to honor the 1847 Mormon trek to Utah by doing hand labor once used on the historic Transcontinental Railroad. Peter Vogel, 41, said the day connected ancestors' work to present efforts and offered relief from heat through shade and a breeze.
