Volunteers hold state fire fund as grant rules loom
Frederick County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association plans to keep about $124 000 of a $42 million state grant in an interest earning account while awaiting legislative guidance. They propose a needs based distribution, delaying final decisions for up to two years, amid calls from three fire companies to access funds now. The money is earmarked for capital items such as pumpers and ambulances with allocations nationally led by Baltimore City, Montgomery and Prince George's counties.

Federal judge blocks mother from keeping baby in prison
U.S. District Judge Tom S. Lee granted a temporary restraining order allowing Diane Southerland to stay with her newborn son at the University of Mississippi Medical Center after his birth. Southerland, jailed for embezzlement, faces a five year sentence with parole possible after about one year, while the ACLU argues the infant has a constitutional right to breast-feed and family ties. The court gave 72 hours more with the baby before final transfer to the state penitentiary.
