More than $140,000 was raised Sunday in Middle River for The St. Baldrick's Foundation, which helps fund pediatric cancer research.
Like most high school seniors, Maria Frangos is looking forward to her prom in a few months. The 17-year-old Patapsco High student will be in attendance with her date and she'll wear a prom dress.

Baltimore County Fire Department Lt. Scott Ebbert knew that he had the training necessary to help rescue his fellow firefighters, if they ever became trapped during a blaze. He just hoped he never had to utilize that training. But that day came on Jan. 19 when he was one of the many firefighters who tried to rescue Lutherville volunteer firefighter Mark Falkenhan when he became trapped inside a burning apartment building. While Falkenhan, a Middle River resident, was rescued from the building, he died that night, an evening Ebbert will remain etched in his memory for the rest of his life. “That was the toughest day of my career,” said Ebbert, a Parkville resident based at the Golden Ring station. “Mark was a friend and you just never think…
