New years often mean new beginnings, resolutions made (and abandoned), goals set and plans set in motion. 2018 was a busy one for us, and ended on a high note with holiday events and parties celebrating the season. For those into winter sports, January is a highlight and our friends at Wisp have just finished almost $2 million in renovations to make their facility even better for guests and locals alike to visit and enjoy. Check out the Feature Story starting on page 6 for more information and our Skier’s Notebook returns on Page 52 with information about a new Apres Ski Theme Party they will be debuting on January 5th. There are still a wide variety of events to enjoy this month and organizations to get involved with. There are over 350 non profit organizations in Garrett County, including faith-based communities, and plenty of ways to lend a helping hand and give back to this wonderful community. For those of us who prefer a quiet book and cozy fire to while away the short winter afternoons, there are plenty of opportunities for that as well. Hope you find yours!

WOver the years, original owner Helmuth “Ace” Heise, upgraded the resort, adding trails through the 1970’s and pioneering one of the best snowmaking systems on the East Coast. As the area grew and with the completion of Interstate 68 making access easier, the resort continued to expand with more trails, upgraded lift systems and more. In 2005, with the official opening of the North Camp Addition, 30% more skiable terrain was added, bringing the total up to 34 trails on 172 acres in addition to a snowtubing park, Mountain Coaster, Ice Skating rink and more. The latest upgrades were made to the hotel itself. The 169 room slope side hotel began the major renovation overhaul in the Fall of 2015 and was finished up in the Fall of 2018. The Lodge at Wisp will welcome guests with significant changes and improvements to both the interior and exterior of the property. The upgrades are designed to give the hotel guests a heightened resort experience with more con- temporary accommodations, new outdoor gathering spaces, and an overall more modern, comfortable and functional design. The exterior changes include a new Winter Hours: Thursday - Monday 10-5pm Closed Tuesday & Wednesday entrance featuring a Porte Cocherè that creates a grand sense of arrival to the resort by welcoming guests with an outdoor gas fireplace, a timber-frame structure with stacked stone façade and thoughtful lighting. The new entrance surroundings are en- hanced with landscaping highlighted by a dramatic waterfall, benches and a pergola walkway. The hotel exterior received a fresh coat of paint in a new color palate of earth tones to match the Porte Cocherè. The North Courtyard was opened in Winter 2016 complete with a gas fire pit centerpiece surrounded with Adirondack chairs with mountain and sunset vistas. A large lighted logo sign of The Lodge at Wisp hangs on the northeast side of the building and guides guests to the new entrance. 6 The Lake-Front Magazine | January 2019 Continued... 2 Magical Experiences...

  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

Other Broadsides 17 Maps 18 Newspapers 18 Periodicals 19 Photos and Illustrations 19 Genealogy 21 Histories of the War of 1812 23 Maryland in the War of 1812 25 This document serves as a guide to the Maryland Center for History and Culture’s library items and archival collections related to the War of 1812. It includes manuscript collections (MS), vertical files (VF), published works, maps, prints, and photographs that may support research on the military, political, civilian, social, and economic dimensions of the war, including the United States’ relations with France and Great Britain in the decade preceding the conflict. The bulk of the manuscript material relates to military operations in the Chesapeake Bay region, Maryland politics, Baltimore- based privateers, and the impact of economic sanctions and the British blockade of the Bay (1813-1814) on Maryland merchants. Many manuscript collections, however, may support research on other theaters of the war and include correspondence between Marylanders and military and political leaders from other regions. Although this inventory includes the most significant manuscript collections and published works related to the War of 1812, it is not comprehensive. Library and archival staff are continually identifying relevant sources in MCHC’s holdings and acquiring new sources that will be added to this inventory. Accordingly, researchers should use this guide as a starting point in their research and a supplement to thorough searches in MCHC’s online library catalog.
