EMMITSBURG,
Md. – Located in Emmitsburg, the National
Fire Academy and the Emergency Management
Institute facilities is a federal government
facility. Just a year ago security guards
manned a security building at the gate entrance,
checking in every incoming visitor and calling
ahead to make sure they are expected. But
now the booth sits empty and cars freely
pass in and out of the gated entrance. This
makes it somewhat easier for visitors to
come and visit the National Fallen Firefighters
Memorial and other public areas, while still

Lake Kay properties shrinking in size due to erosion
CARROLL VALLEY, Pa. —When Daniel
Patton and his family moved to Carroll Valley five years ago,
Daniel and his wife were looking forward to enjoying a smaller,
cozier home after the last of their children moved out. And
that is just what happened. In fact, Patton’s property
has continued to grow smaller over the time they have lived
there.
The problem is erosion caused by Lake Kay,
which the property abuts. Patton enjoys the lakefront property
because he has easy access to the lake, which he frequently
enjoys via paddleboat. But after five years in Carroll Valley,
he has lost about 10 feet of his property to erosion. He
