Jimmy and Cathy Neisser said they never felt more helpless than on Jan. 17 —the day their twin daughters, Kylie and Kaylie, were born. The Rosedale couple’s girls arrived two months early at Franklin Square Hospital Center and each required a month-long stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. For the Neissers, who already had two other daughters at home, dealing with the health of the newest additions to their family was a very stressful experience. “You want to go home and begin the next chapter in your family, but everything is put on hold,” Jimmy Neisser said. “The health of your babies are in the hands of total strangers.” Despite the girls' early struggles, they are now healthy and on par with other girls their age. The Neissers …

The Chesapeake Gateway Chamber of Commerce recognized 23 individuals that represented area firefighters, police officers, servicemen and medical personnel.
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…
