Passenger Dies in White Marsh Blvd. Crash


A head-on collision in Nottingham resulted in the death of 32-year-old woman Emerald Butcher early on Sunday, Nov. 28.

Butcher was a passenger in a blue 2019 Nissan Rogue traveling westbound in an eastbound travel lane of White Marsh Boulevard.

A green 2014 Nissan Rogue was traveling eastbound in the same eastbound lane and the two vehicles collided around 2:30 a.m.

Medics transported Butcher to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased.

The drivers of both vehicles were also transported to local hospitals for treatment.

Baltimore County Police Department Crash Team investigators continue to investigate the factors that led to the fatal crash.

Man Buys Winning Scratch-off in Fullerton


The Maryland Lottery announced that a winning $20,200 scratch-off ticket was sold in Fullerton last week. The unidentified man came forward to claim his prize.

“I’ve been looking for this ticket for a long time,” a 39-year-old restaurant employee said while sitting in the Maryland Lottery Winner’s Circle.

While the specific game that produced the biggest win of his life was a 2020 Cash scratch-off, the Nottingham resident was speaking about the prize he just claimed. “I really felt that I would hit a big one some day and here it is!”

The Baltimore County resident said he discovered his top-prize win as his fiancée bathed their daughter in the next room.

“I was talking with her when I saw the matching numbers and then the prize. I just froze, I couldn’t catch my breath.” She called to him, alarmed that he had stopped the conversation mid-sentence. “She couldn’t come in the room because she had the baby in the tub, but she kept calling my name.” The shocked player found his voice a few moments later. “I told her, ‘This might be big.’ ”

The couple plans to add the winnings to the family’s house down-payment fund. They will soon begin the search for their first new home.

The 2020 Cash scratch-off game, a $20 instant ticket, debuted in November 2019 and has five more $20,200 top prizes to offer players. They can also search for 14 second-tier prizes worth $2,020. The Lottery awarded a $202 bonus to the owners of Belair Liquors at 7631 Belair Road in Fullerton for selling the lucky top-prize winning scratch-off.

New Middle School Projects Next on Agenda


Baltimore County broke ground on a new northeast elementary school in Rossville last week. Now it is time to focus on the new middle school projects in the area.

Baltimore County announced that it was going to build a new northeast middle school at Nottingham Park and expand student seating at Pine Grove Middle School to decrease enrollment at Perry Hall Middle for the 2021-22 school year.

Those middle school improvements were announced back in 2017 but have seen delays over the last few years.

Baltimore County Executive John Olszewski, Jr. announced a budget shortfall in early 2019 which delayed the projects.

Next, a construction bill that funded the school projects was introduced in the 2019 General Assembly. That bill passed in the House of Delegates but never received a vote in a Senate committee.

The budget bill finally passed through the House and Senate in 2020, but Gov. Larry Hogan vetoed all budget bills as a result of COVID-19. The bill was passed into law in 2021 when the General Assembly overrode the Governor.

The good news is that the new northeast middle school on King Avenue and Pine Grove Middle renovation projects are fully funded.

The bad news is there is no timetable for construction to begin for the projects. There was hope to have the projects begin soon enough for completion by the start of the 2022-23 school year, but the earliest the school could open is now 2023-24.

Councilman David Marks explained that construction contracts are being prepared for those middle school projects and there are a lot of variables, such as materials and other factors. Marks added he is hopeful the projects will be finalized by the end of this year.

“Had the State Senate passed the Built to Learn Act in 2019, we might have had the project under construction last year. That delayed the project. The county’s part has been fully funded since 2019,” Marks said.
