The positive effects of these hunts on the sur- rounding vegetation and the herds’ health have become apparent.” Applications for the controlled hunts are available at www.wv- hunt.com. Each applicant must, if they have not already, create an ac- count on the Electronic Licensing and Game Checking System. Once logged in, the applicant must select “Enter Lottery.” The applicant then must select which controlled hunt(s) for which they would like to apply. Hunters also may apply by calling Pipestem Resort State Park at 304-466-2804, or Cacapon Resort State Park at 304-258-1022. However, the most efficient meth- od of applying for the controlled hunt is by using www.wvhunt.com, which allows for 24/7 access to the application process. Applications must be completed by midnight on Aug. 15, 2015. For- ty hunters will be randomly select- ed for each day at Pipestem Resort State Park and 30 hunters each day for Cacapon Resort State Park. Two Class Q (hunting permit for persons disabled in lower extremi- ties) stands are available each day. Successful applicants will be noti- fied after Oct. 1 for the date they were selected to hunt. Unsuccessful applicants will not be notified. Applicants may check to see if they were selected by log- ging into the Electronic Licensing and Game Checking System af- ter Aug. 17.

CUMBERLAND, Md. (AP) - A company planning to grow medi- cal marijuana has purchased land in Allegany County to cultivate the plant. The Cumberland Times-News reports that Vast Organic Farms has bought 26 acres in Oldtown and is hoping to obtain one of 15 licenses the state of Maryland is planning to issue by early 2016 for medical marijuana growers. The company’s CEO Casey Cal- lister says the farm would combine indoor growing in greenhouses with possible traditional open- air growing, depending on state regulations. Proposed regulations require strong security, including video surveillance and security guards. According to the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission, applications for growers will be available in September, with li- censes issued in 2016. The commis- sion anticipates that medical can- nabis could become available to patients by the second half of 2016.
