If you've been noticing a heavier police presence on major highways in Baltimore County, it's no accident.
As part of a pilot project being watched by state and federal officials, the county Police Department is stepping up enforcement of traffic laws in corridors with high rates of crime and crashes.
Since March, the county has increased patrols in six such corridors - Liberty Road, Baltimore National Pike (U.S. 40 west), Reisterstown Road, York Road, Eastern Avenue and Bel Air Road (U.S. 1 north). The Crash/Crime Corridor Program is part of a broader effort to crack down on aggressive drivers.

New chef brings lighter fare to Oregon Grille
W hen Mark Henry retired as executive chef of the Oregon Grille in Cockeysville a few months ago, it felt something like the end of an era for those who follow the local dining scene.

Henry, who opened the Oregon Grille and, before that, was known for his imaginative cuisine at places like the Milton Inn, worked with his successor, Stefan Sabo, for continuity's sake; but that doesn't mean there won't be changes now that someone else is in charge. Any chef worth his toque would, of course, want to put his own imprint on the food.
