  • Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St
    Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St. Mary’s and Southern Prince George’s Counties Produced by Southern Maryland Audubon Society Society Birding in Southern Maryland This brochure was especially designed for birders. If you are traveling through and have the urge to bird for a while, we hope this brochure will help you locate some spots local birders enjoy without wasting time looking for them. Our list in the back of this brochure includes some less common sightings as well as resident and migrant birds. If you are a resident birder, we hope you will eventually be able to put a checkmark beside each species. Good Birding! NOTE: Any birds sighted which are not on the checklist in the back of this brochure or are marked with an asterisk should be reported to [email protected]. Species notations, such as preferred habitat and seasonality are listed at the end of the checklist in the back of this brochure. Olive Sorzano 1920-1989 This brochure is dedicated to the memory of Olive Sorzano, a charter member of the Southern Maryland Audubon Society from 1971 until her death in 1989. A warm, generous, kind and thoughtful person, Olive came to represent the very soul of Southern Maryland Audubon. Throughout the years, she held various positions on the Board of Directors and willingly helped with nearly all activities of the growing chapter. She attended every membership meeting and every field trip, always making sure that new members were made welcome and novice birders were encouraged and assisted. Living on the Potomac River in Fenwick, a wooded community in Bryans Road, Maryland, she studied her land and water birds, keeping a daily list of what she saw or heard with her phenomenal ears.

  • IN the COURT of APPEALS of MARYLAND No
    IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 94 September Term, 2005 _________________________________________ SDC 214, LLC v. LONDON TOWNE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC., et al. __________________________________________ Bell, C.J. Raker Wilner Cathell Battaglia Greene Eldridge, John C. (Retired, Specially Assigned), JJ. __________________________________________ Opinion by Eldridge, J. _________________________________________ Filed: November 9, 2006 This case concerns the interpretation of a restrictive covenant which states that a six-acre parcel of land in Anne Arundel County “shall be undeveloped, except for educational facilities in conjunction with the Anne Arundel County Board of Education.” The disputed issue is whether the quoted language means that the Board of Education was required to have been involved in the planning, design or construction of the educational facilities, or, on the other hand, whether the Board’s involvement in the use of the educational facilities is sufficient to permit such facilities under the covenant. I. The parcel of land which is the subject of this dispute is approximately six acres, located in the south east quadrant of the intersection of Maryland Route 2 and Maryland Route 214 in the Edgewater area of Anne Arundel County. The parcel had been part of a 1390-acre tract of land which a developer, Rose of Annapolis Limited Partnership, intended to develop “as a mixed-use community known as South River Colony.” In 1988, the developer Rose of Annapolis entered into a “Development Agreement and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions” with each of several community associations representing “citizens who reside in the general vicinity of the Property.” The respondent London Towne Property Owners Association, Inc., was one of these associations entering a Development Agreement and Declaration -2- of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions with the developer.

Box 548 Hanover, Maryland 21076 Dear Secretary Rahn: We thank you and the various business units of the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) for a very successful year of working together to maintain the integrity and safety of our roads! We want to especially compliment you on progress made streamlining and simplifying the access management process and also in moving forward with planning for strategic highway safety. County staff has taken an active part in working with State personnel and participating in State workshops to bring about positive change. Enclosed are our priority transportation projects. We want to draw your attention to transportation issues in Calvert County and Southern Maryland. We thank MDOT for the construction funding for Phase 2 of the MD 2-4 project to widen and improve MD 2-4 through Prince Frederick that was in last year's budget. While this project did not go to advertisement in 2016 as planned, we hope the funding for this project remains intact and construction starts FY 2018. It is important to note that 60% of our workforce commutes out of the County and uses this corridor every single day, twice a day.
