Quote of the Month "I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." – Michael Jordan 6

Committee Reports Trailblazers Committee Licensed & Insured ◆ Locally Owned & Operated
We bid a fond farewell to two of our long-time members, Jim and Cathie Reed. They were two of our regulars for many years. Jim was always willing to pitch in and use his loppers or the committee weed-whacker. Cathie brandished a mean pair of loppers and was our expert pinkribbon locater. Cathie and Jim were active members of several other LLA committees. They could be seen out on the Lake often—Jim in his fishing boat, Cathie in her kayak or canoe, and both of them in their party boat. We will really miss you. We wish you the best at your new home in Woodsboro. October is a beautiful time of the year to enjoy the woods and the lakes in our community. The LLA trail system is made up of many trails of varying levels of difficulty and lengths. The Trail Map Pocket Guide provides a general map of the trail network; and gives a brief description of the characteristics of each trail, rates its difficulty, gives its approximate length, and notes start and end locations. The latest guide revision was in Summer 2012. Copies of the guide can be picked up at the LLA office or downloaded from the LLA website. For information about the Trailblazers Committee, go to LLATrailblazers@gmail.com, or contact either Katrinka Westendorf (301-865-3519) or Kathy Murtagh (301-8653661). laketalk October-2013

Culvert Cleaning
Every year when we experience the seasonal changes of Autumn, LLA is overwelmed with a beautiful, but large quantity of foliage. Leaves collect in yards, on streets, and in roadside culverts. To ensure that drainage and stormwater management systems operate properly, it is important for residents to do their best to maintain culverts in front of their home. Working with your neighbors to keep culverts free of large amounts of leaf debris will help avoid any future drainage problems. 10

Shortcuts Can Be Shortsighted by Liz Burrow, REALTOR®
If you’re thinking of updating your home you may be wondering if you should get a county permit for those changes. I am sure you know D.I.Y. Enthusiasts who finished their basement without going through the permit process. Should you do the same? Even for the most capable craftsmen or women, this is never a good idea. It is not about whether you do the work yourself, or even about the quality of that work, but rather the lack of county inspections and records. Not to mention the fact that proper permitting is a county requirement! When it comes to the resale of your home, not having an official permit can create some very negative results in the long run. Any undocumented addition will result in there being no mention of it in the public records. All that extra square footage you so skillfully added to your home’s living area will not be reflected, and prospective buyers won’t get a true picture of how large your home actually is. Most savvy buyers these days request a home inspection. If an inspector cannot find a permit for renovations, it can begin to raise glaring red flags. This may cause the inspector to be much more critical than they might otherwise be. Even if the plumbing and electrical work was completed by licensed contractors,
having no permit could create concerns about fire hazards and safety issues which may alarm the buyers. I have attended several inspections where the additions to the home were unpermitted and the seller has been required to either have some of the work re-done, or formally certified by a licensed contractor. These kinds of issues and additional requirements can stymie a buyer's interest. Additionally, certain loans have more stringent guidelines than others. Some loans require their own stand-alone inspections, regardless of an inspection carried out by the buyers. Even if the buyer is ultimately willing to accept the lack of permitting, the bank may not be so willing. The loan could be denied due to the bank's concerns, causing the sale to fall through entirely. And then there’s the appraisal. Properly permitted work encourages approval by the appraiser and correspondingly raises the value of the appraisal. If you are using a contractor, have him pull the permits for you. If you are doing it yourself there is a lot of helpful information on the county website; http://www.frederickcountymd.gov/index.aspx?nid=99 In this article I have only addressed county permits but for many home improvement projects you still need to apply for approval from the LLA as well, so be sure to check at: http://www.lakelinganore.org/architectural-review/ While circumventing the system may save a little time and money, doing it right will pay dividends in the long run. laketalk October-2013

Apples in Autumn by C. Roberson
The sky was a beautiful deep blue, without a cloud to sully the serene expanse. Mounted in the western corner, the sun shone pale and bright, its watery rays faintly warming the chill autumn air. Everywhere the trees were ablaze with color—scarlet, fiery orange, deep pink, gold—and flurries of the brilliant leaves fluttered with each gust of the gentle breeze. It was simply the perfect day to be at the orchard. A merry crowd flowed around the little cashier’s stand like some errant river. There were young couples with arms linked against the cold, and families with toddlers perched on their shoulders, pushing strollers across the knobby ground. Even a few grandparents had come for an outing, walking slowly and without haste, smiling at all the life around them. The bigger children rushed to the wheelbarrows, arguing playfully about which one was best or would hold the most, while their parents picked up a handful of plastic bags from the wooden stall. Directly behind the cashier stood the great bounty for which the crowds had come—apple trees. Row upon row of them, big and small, leafy green and full of ripe apples, they stood just waiting to be harvested. 14
laketalk October-2013
I approached from down the little dirt path, breathing in deeply and filling my lungs. The air’s cool touch was like a cleansing rush through my veins, and I smiled at the excited faces of the new arrivals, whose expressions must match my own. The group directly ahead of me, bundled in colorful scarves and chattering with each other, eagerly melded into the people waiting to start out or waiting to pay for their produce. One moment later, I too entered the shifting, bustling throng. From behind the counter, the cashier handed me several plastic bags stamped with the name of the orchard, and I went to pick out a wheelbarrow. I would fill the whole thing, I was sure, for I would need at least four bags for applesauce, and the sweet, crunchy apples were too delicious not to have a bag or so around for munching. And we mustn’t forget apple pies! On a cold autumn night there was nothing better than a thick wedge of steaming apple pie, with syrupy juice seeping out of a golden-brown crispy crust, and cream melting over the top. Yum. Licking my lips at the thought, I walked into the rows of apple trees, searching for the variants that I had found best suited to my desires. Wooden signs at the beginning of each line proclaimed their wares: red delicious, braeburn,
granny smith, gold rush, pink lady, stayman, enterprise, fuji and many others. Braeburn were one of the best for applesauce, so I angled my wheelbarrow towards that row. The trees’ leafy branches were filled with apples, peeking out from between the leaves like gems in a crown. The thick, green foliage seemed resilient to the deterioration of autumn. I brushed aside the leaves of the first tree and saw a perfect, smooth globe, suspended amid the sheltering branches. The apple was a rich rusty color, suffused with traces of gold. I reached out and turned the apple slowly on its stem to be sure that the fruit was ripe all the way around before plucking it. The branch gently sprang back with a faint swish as I did. With the first apple at the bottom of my bag, I preceded down the row. Several other families were picking with me, the children comparing apples with their siblings and acting as their own judges of size, color and best fruit. One tiny girl gazed longingly at an apple far above her reach, until her father came and scooped her up onto his shoulders. With a gleeful gurgle, she reached out her hand and grasped the apple of her eye, clutching it to her chest as she was lowered back down to earth.
I reached the end of the row and continued on to the next. Soon I had filled three bags with braeburn apples and two with stayman, both for making applesauce; two bags with fuji apples, for baking pies; and one more bag with pink lady apples, for eating straight. As I had foreseen, my wheelbarrow was full. Pushing it back to the register, I was careful lest a bump should unseat one of my bags and send the apples bouncing across the hard ground. When the bags were purchased, I grabbed my favorite apple and took a big bite, unable to resist any longer. The crisp, light fruit crunched between my teeth, filling my mouth with sweet juice that tasted of honey mixed with fall sunshine and cool, autumn air. The season seemed summed up in that one apple, as if the fruit had soaked up everything good around it in the days it had spent ripening on the tree. I sighed, happy with the culmination of my autumn apple day. As I carted my bags away down the dirt path, more visitors arrived, cheerfully moving towards the orchard to make memories of their own.

Help the Lake. Improve Water Quality. PLANT A TREE THIS FALL!!! by Lorna Patrick
Did you ever stop to think about the relationship between trees and healthy water in our lakes and streams? Trees are vital to water quality because they help slow rain before it hits the earth. This reduces run-off, where large amounts of storm water pour into our streams and lakes at high speeds, picking up pollutants and sediment along the way. When storm water is slowed down, nature is better able to absorb the bad stuff that it picks up from our lawns, parking lots, roads, and construction sites. Trees also help water quality by preventing erosion on steep slopes, stream banks, and lake edges. Truth is, we need trees for healthy streams and lakes, and lots of them. Trees are so vital that the State of Maryland will pay YOU to plant one. All you have to do is print the coupon found here: http:// www.trees.maryland.gov/coupon_page.asp Take the coupon to a participating nursery and receive $25 off a recommended tree! Find Participating MD Nursery: http://dnrweb.dnr.state.md.us/trees/nurseries/nurseries.asp Find a Recommended Tree: http://www.trees.maryland.gov/pickatree.asp#trees The coupon covers trees large and small, so every size yard can welcome a new tree this fall.

Brandt is a 15-year-old sophomore at Oakdale High School and hopes to generate interest in performance road cycling amongst the student body at OHS and amongst youth cyclists in the Lake Linganore community. The Tour de Frederick is a three day series of events for cyclists of all ages 26

and skill levels. It is also a major fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County. The Tour de Frederick features unique ride routes that showcase the beauty of Frederick County, emphasizing its rich history and fostering camaraderie among the riders. The 100 mile Century Ride is the longest event. The route is extremely difficult due to significant elevation changes. The route starts and ends near the Westview shopping center. Initially the route heads north
of Frederick through the rolling hills of the eastern slopes of the Catoctin Mountains, outside of Thurmont, MD. The ride takes you into southern Adams County in Pennsylvania, just south of Gettysburg Battlefield. The Century Ride encompasses all three covered bridges of Frederick County and goes through some of Frederick’s most pastoral landscapes The Tour de Frederick 100 mile Century Ride is no easy accomplishment! Way-to-go Brandt—you make us very proud!
