Library staff urge restraint after lifting county hiring freeze
Frederick County commissioners briefly lifted the hiring freeze to fill critical library vacancies. One hire will serve at the Frederick County Detention Center with inmates, another part time at the Thurmont branch. Library director Martha Reynolds notes higher usage despite fewer staff and plans to resume column duties later. The freeze should remain in effect with periodic reviews for essential positions.

Outgoing ordinance backs air rack rules with penalties
Mayor Lloyd C. Culler and the Board of Aldermen approved an ordinance giving blackout and air rack regulations the force of law. Penalties for violation include a $100 fine and up to 90 days in jail. The measure mirrors a Baltimore City rule and follows a pattern seen in local policing actions. A robbery occurred at Harry Carr’s Grocery and 66 Service Station in Union Bridge where a gunman took $250 from Harry Carr and his wife. A bear was spotted near the Wilsons’ home in Myeraville.
