Bruce Wood, a trash/recycling truck driver, was doing his usual job the morning of September 4th when he noticed smoke coming out of the Catonsville home of Patty Miller. He banged on the door and windows and screamed until they got a response. Wood was able to get all of Miller’s family out, including their dog.
The County Executive, Kevin Kamenetz, presented Wood with a hero pin for his bravery.
Girl Scout cookie season is in full swing! With things still a little different this year, the Girl Scouts organization has made it easy for you to locate where to find your favorite treats. For those that don’t have a neighborhood girl selling cookies, you can input your zip code on https://www.girlscouts.org to find out where troops will have booths set up and you can even get the cookies shipped directly to your home. A new cookie added to the yummy selection this year is Adventurefuls™ which is brownie inspired and topped with caramel creme and a hint of sea salt.
Rick Brostrom of Catonsville spends his December helping Santa out by responding to children’s letters.
Children drop letters in the mailbox that Brostrom made himself and each year receives hundreds of letters. Each letter is responded to because, “…good feelings in my chest, in my inner heart, just good feelings about doing something for the community as well as for the children.”
