Spotted Fever Kills Keymar Boy
A 12 year old Keymar boy died from Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in Frederick County. Eight other county residents are reported infected this summer, with four cases in recent weeks. Health Officer Dr Charles Spicknall urged early medical care for rash and fever and cautioned tick exposure is widespread across the county. The disease is tick borne by dog ticks in grasses and woods, with symptoms appearing within two weeks. Removal of embedded ticks should avoid crushing, using tweezers and proper cleaning, and pets should be kept tick free.

Rezoning Plan Partially Approved Along U S 15
Frederick County Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a rezoning of a 0.97 acre parcel at the apex of new U S 15 and Old Frederick Road from A-1 to B-1 for a service station, while denying requests for 14.25 acres A-1 to B-2 and 5.5 acres A-1 to A-3. The commission warned against too many rezonings at interchanges as U S 15 evolves toward limited access highway status, noting sewer and water constraints and long term land uses in the area.
