1. Frederick Road Fridays are back, starting this Friday, Jun. 3 until Aug. 26. The community festival days are free and feature a new performer every Friday. The Catonsville Chamber of Commerce started the event in 2009, and due to the popularity of the event, it is now located at 15 Mellor Avenue. (Subscription: Baltimore Sun)
2. Yesterday, the Maryland Department of Health reported that a 65-year-old man died in Baltimore County as a result of the heat. This was the first heat-related death of 2022 in Maryland. Deputy Secretary for Public Health Dr. Jinlene Chan said, "During hot weather, Marylanders are urged to take precautions to avoid overheating and check on friends and neighbors that may be susceptible to heat-related illness, especially older adults and people with chronic disease."

3. Senior Lilly Stein, from Catonsville, helped the St. Mary’s College of Maryland women’s rowing team, the Seahawks, finish the 2021-22 campaign in eighth place at the 2022 NCAA Division III Women’s Rowing Championships. Stein is on the Women’s Second Varsity 8+ Lineup, which won the petite final against the Lutes by over 10 seconds. But the NCAA awarded the Lutes the first-place points due to the Seahawks' underweight boat. (The Southern Maryland Chronicle)
