BALTIMORE, MD (July 1, 2013) – Public Works Director, Alfred H. Foxx, today announced that the Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) will hold the first Liberty Reservoir Day on Saturday, July 27, 2013 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Liberty Dam, Liberty Dam Rd., 21104.

Live entertainment, face-painting, emergency vehicle displays and food trucks will be on site. Active and former military members with ID will receive discounts on food purchases. Attendees will also receive American flags to celebrate both our “liberty” and “Liberty”.

Attendees of all ages can visit the Dam’s observation deck which will be open only for this special day. Learn about Baltimore's drinking water system, resource issues and conservation efforts. Rescued native wildlife will be on display along with experts who will tell you all about them.

The event will also recognize the people and, yes, animals, who protect the reservoirs and reservoir visitors. Attendees will see demonstrations from the Chesapeake Search Dogs, three fire companies and local police officials.

“We are excited about highlighting Liberty Dam and Reservoir which are important parts of our regional drinking-water system,” says DPW Director Alfred H. Foxx. “This is a wonderful opportunity to learn while having fun.”

Participating organizations include: Baltimore City Department of Public Works, Gamber & Community Fire Company, Liberty Road Volunteer Fire Company, Sykesville Freedom District Fire Department, Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, Baltimore Environmental Police, Chesapeake Search Dogs, Scales and Tales, Baltimore County Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability, and the Carroll County Department of Land Use, Planning and Development.

Beyond the reservoir: Watershed rangers have many responsibilities

Dylan Slagle/Staff PhotoBaltimore City Watershed Ranger Sgt. Antoine Smith approaches the rock outcropping where a drowning occurred July 18 while paroling Liberty Reservoir off Deer Park Road near Finksburg Sunday.

Posted: Monday, July 26, 2010 12:00 am | Updated: 12:14 am, Mon Jul 26, 2010.

At 4:40 p.m. Sunday, Sgt. Antoine Smith put his police lights on, blared his siren and drove quickly to Owings Mills on a hit-and-run call.

"Two black males hit a car and got out and ran," he said. "They probably stole the car and hit somebody."

As he communicated with Baltimore County Police by radio, he canvassed wooded areas behind apartment buildings and around the Owings Mills Mall. He even checked a large recycling container, with his gun drawn, in case the fugitives were hiding in there.

It was one of the many hats Smith would wear Sunday as a Baltimore City Watershed Ranger. While his primary responsibility is to patrol Liberty Reservoir, he has the power to enforce the laws in several jurisdictions, including Baltimore City and the counties of Baltimore, Carroll, Howard, Harford and Anne Arundel, all of which have residents that are served by one of the three city-owned reservoirs.

"We do everything municipal police do, but our biggest hat is natural resources," he said... http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/article_52c458c4-986b-11df-a8fa-001cc4c002e0.html?mode=story
