Residents along Greenbank Road are experiencing discolored tap water.

Oliver Beach Democrat Cathy Bevins, a Dundalk High grad, used to sit in the back at community meetings. Now she's in the spotlight.
Cathy Bevins frequently attended community and civic meetings, but she used to sit in the back. As former Baltimore County Executive Jim Smith's constituent services coordinator for the eastside of the county, Bevins was supposed to work behind the scenes. But now, as the new Baltimore County Council member representing District 6, which includes Middle River, Overlea and Fullerton, the 51-year-old Bevins is in the spotlight. "It's a little surreal standing in the front of the room," says Bevins, an Oliver Beach Democrat and Dundalk native. Take the recent "Issues and Eggs breakfast," an annual "must" political event sponsored by the Marine Trades Association of Baltimore County and the Essex-Middle River-White Marsh Chamber of Commerce…
