Health officials struggle to keep up with restaurant inspections
Frederick County health inspectors conducted 1992 inspections across restaurants, schools, and fair booths yet many facilities avoided or missed follow ups. Only 79 percent of restaurants were inspected in the past year and 92 percent in 18 months. Shortages in staff and repeat violations leave inspectors unable to meet state rules for thrice yearly checks, with multiple facilities going years between visits.

Gay rights club at Middletown High voted down
Middletown High administrators blocked forming a gay rights club and required a human rights focus instead. Founder Alicia Roach, 17, says the group was to meet monthly during school, while officials cite county policy and objections from some students. The human rights club awaits bylaws and a written constitution.
