Yosemite Campers On Hold As Park Web Site Down Detours Fray
Campers rely on a Cumberland call center for National Park reservations as a federal law order halts Interior sites. With Yosemite dates opening Memorial Day weekend and early June, the shutdown risks a flood of calls to Spherix in Cumberland and a heavy load on the 800 numbers as visitors pin campsites to refrigerators.

Man jailed after false ambulance call in Cumberland
Alleghany County man Kendall Ostendorf, 34, allegedly called 911 for an ambulance as a ruse to get a ride. The crew found no emergency and Ostendorf admitted he could not pay the fare. He is charged with making a false alarm and jailed in $3,000 bail. Police Capt. John Morley cautioned such calls pull ambulances from real emergencies.

State Man Won’t Face Retrial in Murder Case
Michael Austin, 63, whose 1974 murder conviction was overturned, will not be retried. Baltimore State's Attorney Patricia Jessamy announced he will remain free after 27 years in prison, released Dec. 28, following judge Byrnes' ruling that prosecutors erred. Centurion Ministries led calls for exoneration, noting only a wallet card bearing the co-defendant’s name and a mismatched shooter description tied to Austin. He spoke of adjusting to freedom, planning a media appearance and a radio program.
