The Deep Creek Watershed Foundation (DCWF) is beginning a multi-layered initiative focused on improving water quality throughout the Deep Creek Lake watershed. Following the collection and review of data from commissioned tributary studies, the Foundation has identified septic stewardship and wastewater management as critical priorities for protecting the long-term health of the watershed and lake. This effort directly supports Goal 9 of the Deep Creek Watershed Management Plan, which seeks to “protect the watershed from the adverse effects of impaired septic systems and ensure adequate capacity and management of public sewerage systems.” DCWF is currently working on several projects designed to encourage proper stewardship and maintenance of onsite septic systems to help preserve and protect water quality in the Deep Creek Lake watershed. As part of this initiative, DCWF is partnering with University of Maryland Extension to host a two-part virtual “Brunch & Learn” educational series focused on septic stewardship in Garrett County. The second session in the series will be held on July 7, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EDT and will feature two guest speakers. The first guest speaker is Craig Umbel, Director of Environmental Health for the Garrett County Health Department. Mr. Umbel will discuss the types of […]

The Oakland Writers’ & Literature (OWL) Club is a group of 18 years and older writing enthusiasts, tackling a common feeling among writers, the need for some encouragement to write. The focus of OWL is to provide a community for writers to share and workshop their own work, and sometimes the work of published authors. The group uses tools of analysis to identify the literal meanings and themes of all genres of writing, while also discussing the things that most stand out in the work. The OWL club meets Wednesdays at 6:30 pm at the Main (Oakland) Library, and is an open community where writers can pop in and pop out from week to week and always feel included and welcome when they return. Writings/readings are scheduled in advance of meetings using OWL's community sign-up sheet. The OWL mailing list* is used for distributing this work. Meetings also include weekly writing prompts that attendees are encouraged (though not required) to read and share with the group. The club's weekly agenda is as follows: 6:30 - 6:45 PM Quiet time writing for the prompt 6:45 - 7:15 PM Reading and sharing prompt writing(s) 7:15 - 8:00 PM […]
