Federal law sidelines Frederick City firefighters for volunteering
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act forces Frederick fire units to separate paid drivers from volunteers, sidelining two longtime volunteers. Junior Fire Chief John Haka loses post after years of service, replaced by Keith Brown. Fire officials call the rule confusing and disruptive, with other volunteers watching from nearby scenes as departments adjust to the new limits.

Vultures killing farmer calves in Maryland area
A Frederick County farmer reports 18 calves dead this spring from a flock of about 150 black vultures. The birds descended on his 160 acre Old Annapolis Road farm, killing calves two to three days old over two months. State and federal officials say this is the first such report locally, with similar issues cited by farmers near Emmitsburg and in Montgomery County. Vultures are protected by federal law, but a controlled cull could be allowed if damage continues.
