About GLUT, a beaver dam in the park and crepes.

A Magruder Park beaver appears to have been poached for his pelt. The city reports that M-NCPPC tried to stem flooding in the area by cutting a hole into an existing beaver dam in the park. 3. Do you know your Public Works team? The department is headed by Patrick Ryan. Find out more at the city's website. 4. Prince George's County has an e-community where residents can link up to county news via Twitter, Facebook and through YouTube videos. 5.
