the “INsider Plus” category at just $39 per year. Weekly Greens & Cart Fees depend on the membership
category chosen by each player -- Costs and other details for INsider Plus or other membership catego-
ries can be obtained from Patuxent Greens Golf Club 301-776-5533 or hƩp://www.patuxentgolf.com

NEW ‘MOVE OVER’ LAWS
Maryland State Police want motorists to be aware of
new traffic laws taking effect October 1st that requiredrivers to ‘move over,’ if possible, to increase safety for
police, fire and emergency services personnel working
on Maryland roadsides, as well as those riding bicycles
or scooters.
The new law requires drivers approaching from the rear
of an emergency vehicle using visual signals while
stopped on a highway to, if possible, ‘make a lane
change into an available lane not immediately adjacent
to the emergency vehicle.’
This movement should only be done if another lane in
the same direcƟon is available and the move can be
made safely and without impeding other traffic. If mov-
ing to another lane away from the stopped emergency
vehicle is not possible, the law requires drivers to ‘slow
to a reasonable and prudent speed that is safe for ex-
isƟng weather, road, and vehicular or pedestrian traffic
condiƟons.’
The intent of the ‘move over’ law is to provide an extra
barrier of safety for police officers, fire fighters, and
emergency rescue personnel working along Maryland
roads. ViolaƟon of the ‘move over’ law is a primary
offense with a fine of $110 and one point. If the viola-
Ɵon contributes to a traffic crash, the fine is $150 and
three points. If the violaƟon contributes to a trafficcrash resulƟng in death or serious injury, the fine is
$750 and three points.
A similar law is aimed at increasing safety for bicyclists
or persons operaƟng a motor scooter, or electric per-
sonal assisƟve mobility device (EPAMD). This law re-
quires drivers overtaking a bicycle, EPAMD, or motor
scooter rider to pass safely at a distance of not less than
three feet. ExcepƟons are when the conveyance opera-
tor is not obeying the law or is solely responsible for
creaƟng a clearance of less than three feet, or if the
highway is not wide enough to pass the vehicle at a dis-
tance of at least three feet. Drivers must also yield theright of way to a bicycle, EPAMD, or motor scooter be-
ing operated lawfully in a designated bike lane or shoul-
der if the driver of the motor vehicle is about to enter
or cross the bike lane or shoulder.
A violaƟon of this law is a primary offense with a fine of
$80 and one point. If the violaƟon contributes to a
traffic crash, the fine is $120 and three points.

LOCAL TRAILS IN OUR BACKYARD
Whether you want to get some exercise, walk the dog, or get some fresh air, there are several short trails in the
area to choose from.
The one from either entrance to Montpelier Mansion.
The trail in the woods on the east side of the Mansion that goes and connects with where Mt. Pleasant dead
ends near Pleasant Court at the steel barricade.
The paved circuit at Bedford Park, across Muirkirk Road at Mt. Pleasant. Follow the liƩle path toward the
park.
The paved trail that starts along Brock Bridge Road at the Maryland City Park and goes to Brock Bridge Ele-mentary School.
I also heard that the Board was thinking about making a short trail through the woods around the Pool, so folks
can walk around the playground/pool/ballfields, etc. I think anything to get folks out and exercising is a good
thing.

PS-another suggestion was made to print jokes and funny stories. Send them in… I am one of those people

Lake Artemesia—This is a public
park with a 38-acre lake, a wheel-
chair accessible fishing pier, and
aquaƟc gardens. More than two
miles of hiker-biker trails surround
and connect the lake with Calvert
Road Park and College Park Airport
and AviaƟon Museum. The Prince
George's Audobon Society hosts bird
walks every 1st and 3rd Thursday of
the month.
Fishing is permiƩed on Lake Arteme-
sia. A non-Ɵdal fishing license is re-
quired for persons 16 & older. In
addiƟon, a trout stamp is required to
catch-and-take trout from the lake.Refer to the Maryland DNR website
or the MD DNR Fisheries Guidebook
for more informaƟon.
Vehicles are not permiƩed on park
ground, but visitors can access the
park via wheelchair accessible trails at the 5200 block of
Calvert Road in College Park, or Osage Street and Swath-
more Court in Berwyn Heights.
Greenbelt Lake Trail —1.25
miles. 555 Crescent Rd. Scenic
and has a big playground at Bud-

crowded.
Fairland Regional Park
Trails—we usually park behind
the Ice Gardens and walk down
the hill to the lake to pick up the

Old Line Fine Wines and Spirits and
The Bistro at Old Line Fine Wines and Spirits
I thought I would pass on a bit of news that might be of interest to my Montpelier neighbors.
Old Line Fine Wines and Spirits (www.oldlinewine.com/) recently opened in Beltsville, MD in what used to be
the Circuit City just south of the intersecƟon of Route 1 and Powder Mill Road. I believe they opened a bit over
three months ago. I only came to know about this store because Jon, one of the folks who worked at IMWine
in Fulton/Maple Lawn, had leŌ. I asked where he went and found out it was here. He is very wine knowledge‐
able and has a great palate and will listen to what you like and be able to make recommendaƟons for you.
The shop itself is quite large. It is similar in scale to Corridor Fine Wines at 198/BW Parkway, as well as similar
in layout/style of the interior. What is different here is that the folks are friendly, helpful and really listen to
you. The selecƟon is great, and I suspect will be much more dynamic to their customers than Corridor is (whichis owned by the Total Wine folks). Their beer selecƟon is mind‐blowing, too. You really need to see what they
have to get excited. It's very easy to find interesƟng wines and beers to try. I bought two cases of wine and
could easily have bought more. :)
What is even more interesƟng is that they also have a Bistro/Wine Bar. They have a somewhat compact menu,
but step it up daily with specials. Plus they do wine themed dinners and have 16 special brews of beer on tap
at any given Ɵme. I have not yet been to the bistro, but did check out the menu and it looks good. WIll report
back once I have tried it. Their steak frites are calling me.
What is most exciƟng about this is have both of these kinds of places in one, and having it be just a short 6 to 8
minute ride from the neighborhood. And they are locally owned and run ‐ even beƩer.
