Donor flood saves Frederick County Animal Center food stock
After the Frederick County commissioners refused to add 800 for pet food, the animal control center received 400 in cash and over 1,000 in pledges. County employees formed an escrow with United Pet Food to guarantee supplies for cats dogs and puppies for the coming year. Escalating costs had prompted director Steven K. Smith to seek 300 more, but the board directed negotiation with the Humane Society. Concerns rose about potential euthanizations if funds fell short. David Bice reports unprecedented community support aims to cover ongoing needs.

Mack Trucks to cut 450 jobs at Allentown plant
Mack Trucks says about 450 of its 3,000 Allentown and 1,600 Macungie positions will be eliminated as it shifts chassis and drive-train work to a Toledo supplier. The plan stems from a 10 year Dana Corp. agreement to supply frame assemblies and carver sections, with total layoffs estimated between 700 and 1,000 across facilities including Oakville Ontario. Union officials sought job-saving measures.
