Without a doubt, motorists and pedestri-ans pass the small wooden structure at 612 and 614 S. Wolfe St. everyday, clueless to its significance to the history of Baltimore and its role in American history.

“These are very interesting buildings, in that they are the first white European build-ings, or however you want to refer to it, that were built at these locations,” said J. Bryan Blundell, whose Dell Corporation is helping to preserve the two connected buildings.

“What’s really unusual about them is that they’ve survived at all,” said Ellen von Karajan, Executive Director of the Federal Hill and Fell’s Point Preservation Society. “The thing about 18th Century wooden houses in Baltimore is that there’s only a handful of them—they’re rare, quite rare.

Fell’s Point has been chosen by the Middle Passage Ceremonies and Port Markers Project Inc. as the first port in the U.S. to commemorate the lives of the millions of Africans who died in the Middle Passage from Africa to the New World.

“Baltimore was chosen as the first city because many African-Americans can trace their history to the port,” says Ann Chinn, executive director of MPCPMP.

“Baltimore was a major port for the human trade in the Chesapeake region, and the Chesapeake region basically established the legal codes, practices and rationales for enslavement of Africans and their descen-dants that would be adopted by this nation from its founding,” says Chinn.

The event will take place Aug. 23 at the Broadway Pier. There will be a dawn cere-mony at 6:00 a.m. and a dusk ceremony at 7:15 p.m. Both will include sage burning, prayer, libation, calling of ancestors’ names and drumming. At the dawn ceremony, all present will be invited to take a cut flower to the water’s edge and place it in the harbor to remember those who died in the Middle Passage.

The ceremony is multicultural and inter-faith. Local participants include Rev. Dr. Cecil Gray, of Northwood-Appold United

Methodist Church; Marvin “Doc” Cheatham, president of the Baltimore chapter of the Local Action Network; and Frieda Minner, of the Baltimore American Indian Center, which is located in Upper Fells Point.

In addition, students at the Crossroads School, located in East Harbor and run by the Living Classrooms Foundation, will have a role in the ceremony, and Morgan State University’s students in the Communications Center Video Department will be recording interviews at both ceremo-nies.

The ceremony coincides with the International Day of Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, Aug. 23, as declared by United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Says Skipp Sanders, executive director of Baltimore’s Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African-American History and Culture and a supporter of the project:

“It is my hope that this designation and marker placement will provide a compre-hensive picture of Maryland’s African-American history and will offer opportuni-ties to highlight individuals like Frederick Douglass, who spent his formative years in Fell’s Point, and other Maryland heros who stand on the shoulders of those who were lost in the massive burial ground of the Atlantic Ocean.”

Patterson Park High SchoolJune 1948

Like lots of humorists, Highlandtown native Michele Wojciechowski takes mun-dane, everyday-life occurrences and casts them in a new light, eliciting laugh-out-loud reactions from her audience.

Her latest book, “Next Time I Move, They’ll Carry Me Out in a Box,” soon to be available on amazon.com, chronicles the tri-als and tribulations of buying a new house and selling the old one.

For “Wojo,” the experience was particu-larly stressful, at least the selling part.

“My husband Brad and I found our dream home when we weren’t seriously looking for it,” she explains. “Everything then spun into chaos. We had to have our own house on the market in one week.”

The experience gave Wojo more than enough fodder for her column, “Wojo’s World,” published in local newspapers and at wojosworld.com.

Not everything I write is about my life,” she says, “but I wrote the first couple col-umns (about the move), and I got a ton of feedback.”

Wojo decided that since moving house had moved her, she could write about it. She

sat down with her husband to convert the free-form style of her columns into the more linear time-line of a book. She also recon-nected with her real estate agent, Sandy Smith, who became a good friend during the writing process.

Wojo says that she has a “scary” photo-graphic memory, but Smith helped her uncover some memories that she “must have blocked out from the stress.”

Wojo began the book in February, and was finished by the beginning of June.

“Writing humor comes very, very natu-rally to me,” she says. “I grew up in a very funny family.”

Wojo has self-published “Next Time I Move, They’ll Carry Me Out in a Box.”

She decided on that route after having several conversations with agents in New York City.

“I kept hearing the same thing: You’re so funny,” she says.

One agent told her, “If you were famous or had a TV show, we could easily sell a book.”

“‘Oh, really?’ was my response to that,” says Wojo.

Since self-publishing, Wojo reports that many of her friends have said, “I’ve been thinking of doing that.”

“They should,” she says. Wojo plans to officially launch her book

with a night of comedy at her alma mater, The Catholic High School of Baltimore, 2800 Edison Highway, on Saturday, Sept. 15 at 8p.m. For more information or to pur-chase tickets, visit thecatholichighschool.org or call 410-732-6200 x248. Wojo is hosting the event with Mickey Cucchiella of 98 rock. Both attended Catholic High, and both have

mothers who passed away at 62. Proceeds from the event will support the school’s sci-ence department, including a renovation of the chemistry lab, which will be named for Wojo’s and Cucchiella’s mothers.

“A friend told me that I ought to have (the book launch) somewhere that means some-thing to me in terms of my writing career,” she says.

Wojo’s childhood home is on the 3600 block of Foster Ave. She distinctly remem-bers a Highlandtown childhood, though she concedes that her old house is now techni-cally in Butcher’s Hill.

“People have been arguing about the boundaries of Highlandtown since it was established,” she laughs.

She says that the great thing about grow-ing up in Highlandtown was the close prox-imity of other kids.

“There’s something to be said to be able to walk a block to your friend’s house and hang out,” Wojo says.

She is still friends with many people from the old neighborhood.

“Now that we’re adults, we can get togeth-er, and anything that made us anything but friends is gone.”

Littering is bad; most likely everyone knows this.

We applaud Bridget Parlato and everyone participating on her Baltimore Trash Talk page on Facebook for their willingness to take action: documenting litter problem areas, cleaning up those areas, and brain-storming long-term solutions. (See last week’s article, “Doing more than just talk-ing trash.”

We hear about the adverse effects of litter-ing all the time:

A neighborhood strewn with trash invites crime and lowers property values.

Garbage in the streets finds its way into Chesapeake Bay.

Litter everywhere can discourage new businesses from opening up shop and improving quality of life for all.

Various solutions have been proposed by city officials and entities: completely ban-

ning polystyrene containers from Baltimore, adding a tax to plastic shopping bags, paying dedicated enforcement personnel to patrol neighborhoods and hand out fines, etc.

We like Parlato’s argument—when you don’t put trash in its proper place, you nega-tively affect your own life. Until people real-ize and act on this, there will be trash in the streets.

Even when you don’t consider the nega-tive health and economic impacts of litter-ing, Parlato’s argument rings true.

When your living room has dust balls everywhere, or the kitchen trash stinks and needs to go out, life in your home is simply less pleasant. When your neighborhood or

business has trash blowing around on the sidewalk, it’s also less pleasant—for you, your guests, and your customers.

It’s not different from, hypothetically speaking, neglecting to take an old banana or open bag of peanuts out of your work bag. You get banana slime and peanut dust all over everything, and you look foolish when you have to share your notes with a cowork-er.

We would say that Parlato’s argument has a positive corollary: When you do put trash in the proper place, you positively affect your own life—or at least you can avoid some negatives.

Editor’s Note: This lesson was reinforced

for me this morning as I was walking my 19-month-old daughter to daycare. She hasn’t been walking for very long, and she trips and falls a lot. Somewhere along the short route, I looked at the sidewalk and noticed shards of glass from a smashed bottle of Smirnoff Ice, or similar non-beer alcoholic beverage. I made sure she didn’t fall there—she could have seriously cut her-self on the broken glass.

“How terrible!” I thought. “Somebody should do something about this!”

Well, it didn’t occur to me until I was at work, in a preachy editorial mindset, that somebody is me.

Going... Going... Gone!

One of the events at Little Italy’s Festi-val of Saint Gabriel last weekend was the Roma Sausage Eating Contest. In the photo on the right, winner Robert Myers manages a thumbs-up after eating nearly two pounds of sausage within the 5-minute time limit.

This story first appeared in the Aug. 20, 1987, edition of the Baltimore Guide.

Drivers in Maryland already drive too fast and would only drive faster if the speed limit on the state’s interstate highways was raised to 65, Gov. William Donald Schaefer said recently.

“I don’t favor it,” he said of the higher speed limit, which Congress has permitted states to adopt on certain rural portions of interstate highways.

“When you go 55, they go by you like you’re standing still,” Mr. Schaefer said when asked about th e65 mph limit at a State House news conference.

“If you go 65, they’ll still go by you like you’re standing still.”

Changing the speed limit on any of Maryland’s 400 miles of interstate highways would require an act of the General Assembly and the governor’s signature. One group, the Maryland chapter of the Citizens Coalition for Rational Traffic Laws, already has said it

will press the legislature next year to raise the limit.

According to the State Highway Administration, the sections where the speed limit could be raised include parts of I-95 north of Baltimore and between the Baltimore and Capitol Beltways, I-83 north of the Beltway to the state line, I-70 between the Beltway and Frederick and west of Frederick, I-81 from the West Virginia line to the Pennsylvania line, and I-270 from Frederick to Gaithersburg.

Your Loving Family

We thought of you todayBut that is nothing newWe thought of you yesterdayAnd will tomorrow tooWe think of you in silenceAnd make no outward showFor what it meant to lose youOnly those who love you knowRemembering you is easyWe do it everyday

Its the heartache of losing youThat will never go away.

America. Boyle’s defiant decree states that while Britain didn’t have the power to enforce its blockade, he, Boyle, did have the power and the will to blockade Britain. British insurance rates skyrocketed, and British merchants put pressure on British politicians.

“It became yet another pressure to end the war,” said Karajan.

Boyle’s ship, the Chasseur, became “The Pride of Baltimore” upon his return.

“The caulkers were fundamental to being able to do all these things,” said Karajan.

The homes on Wolfe St. are very simple. “All their life centered around the teapot

and the table,” said Karajan. The homes were purchased in the 1960s

or 70s by the Dashiell sisters, descendants of the famed mariner.

“They came down here and were going to establish a museum that told their family’s story in the context of the greater thread of American history,” explained Karajan.

The homes were inhabited into the 1980s, but bankruptcy court put out the tenants. The Preservation Society took ownership, saving the structure from the city’s “rehab or raze” policy. According to von Karajan, the structure exhibits the various building and home advances that occurred since the end of the 18th Century, including oyster-shell insulation, soft “salmon bricks” from the 1870s, and 1920s-vintage electrical wiring.

“You can see vestiges of the ages, all in these two little rooms,” she said.

“It really becomes a location where you

can do CSI on the building,” said Blundell. Blundell said that the long-term plan is to

restore 612 S. Wolfe St. to a semblance of what it looked like in the 1812-era. The unit at 614, he said, will be a “stabilized artifact,” more or less preserved as-is for study and research.

Von Karajan said that the properties are just one example of Fell’s Point’s status as an intact historic neighborhood.

“Even Williamsburg is a recreation of what was there, but Fell’s Point is real,” she said.

BIRDS HOUSE: It’s tIme for some orIoles BaseBall

by Andy MindzAk

On Sunday, the Baltimore Orioles found themselves trailing by five runs after the first inning to the Detroit Tigers, a team that they are competing against for the final wild-card spot in the American League.

Then, the Orioles did what they do best: play Orioles baseball.

Wei-Yin Chen got off to a rough start in the first. Chen allowed five runs in the first inning with only one out before settling down the rest of the way. Chen would even-tually go on to pitch five innings, allowing only those five runs.

Baltimore would get four of those runs back in the second inning. Chris Davis led off with a home run to get the O’s on the board before Nick Markakis doubled to drive in a run. J.J. Hardy then followed with a double of his own, driving in Markakis as

well as Taylor Teagarden, making the score 5-4.

Baltimore would take the lead for good in the fourth inning, scoring three more times against Doug Fister. Nate McLouth tripled to right center and drove in Markakis and Hardy before Adam Jones drove in McLouth to give the O’s the edge, 7-5.

Baltimore’s bullpen did the rest. Luis Ayala followed Chen by pitching a scoreless sixth inning before Darren O’Day pitched into the eighth before turning the ball over to Pedro Strop. Pedro did his job before giving way to Jim Johnson, who pitched a perfect

ninth, not allowing any runs, hits, or walks, earning him his 37th save of the season, which is only eight behind the franchise record of 45 set by Randy Myers in 1997.

McLouth summed it up after the game: “I think today was a perfect example: being down 5-0 20 minutes into the game and shutting them down the rest of the way. That’s the type of team we’ve got, and it’s fun to be a part of.”

Nate certainly hit the nail on the head because that is the type of team they have this year, which has been a joy to watch.

Currently Baltimore has the last wild-card spot, but there are a few teams in the hunt, namely the Tigers, Oakland Athletics, and Los Angeles Angels. These last 40 games of the regular season will certainly show us what the Orioles are made of. No matter what happens, they have certainly put on a great show this year.

In the last two weeks we talked about things buyers can do to increase their odds of getting a great deal. Now, let’s talk about the fl ip side, being the seller. Making a mistake in selling a home can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars in lost profi t and prevent you from moving on with your life plan—whether it’s buying a larger home, downsizing, combin-ing households or relocating. Often, home sellers make the same mistakes over and over. Avoiding these mistakes is easy and takes little time and effort on your part. Invest that little time and follow these guidelines for your home sale.

Distress Selling: At times, selling quick-ly is unavoidable. That’s when knowing the right techniques to sell your home without looking desperate and making yourself a

target for low bidders really pays off. Know everything there is to know about the market before you list, and work hand in hand with the right real estate professional. Ensure that you are not settling for the fi rst offer through the door.

Best Home in the Neighborhood: Your home is one of your most personal pos-sessions. Don’t be blind to fl aws and needed cosmetic improvements. This will cause overvaluing of the home, hurting its chances to be sold. Listing with the right agent gives you a well informed third eye that will help you price your home at a fair market price.

Limited Home Viewing: Buyers want to view a home on their own time schedule. Unfortunately their time schedule does not always coincide with your time schedule. Leave a lockbox or key with your agent so your home can be shown when you are not around. You never know if the one who got away was your buyer.

Restrain Emotional Decisions: Don’t

Sell Your Home at the Highest Possible Price in the Least Amount of Time

BY MARCI YANKELOV

SPECIAL TO THE BALTIMORE GUIDE

CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Page 15: Baltimore Guide - August 22, 2012

allow a few hundred dollars to ruin a sale. That money will mean very little to you in the long run. Take a look at the big picture and re-act rationally. Use sound business judgment!

Make Cosmetic Improvements: Prospects make up their minds within the fi rst twenty minutes. First impressions can make all the difference in selling your home. Spending $1,200 on new carpet might add another $4,000 to the price of your home. Get an objective point of view from your real es-tate professional. They can provide you with a list of items that will maximize the profi t of your home sale.

Disclose Property Flaws: Property disclosure laws require sellers to list any fl aws required by your state. If you are unaware of fl aws or attempt to cover them up, you risk losing the sale and fi nding yourself in court. Get professional assistance from your agent who can introduce you to qualifi ed inspectors and ensure the smooth sale of your home.

For Sale By Owner: Most homeown-ers who decide to sell their own home do so because they believe they can save the com-

mission paid to the real estate agent. Every-thing has a price and selling a home carries a high one. The enormous amount of time and effort required to sell a home often surprises the "For Sale By Owner." Furthermore, many costly mistakes can be avoided with the right guidance.

Refusing to Trust Your Agent: Would you tell a physician that you’ve decided to run your own tests and come to your own diagno-sis? By choosing the right real estate profes-sional, you can relax and trust their judgment. The right agent is a valuable team member who will protect your best interests and make your sale as profi table as possible.

Know Your Market: Most homes that do not sell in their fi rst listing period are priced too high. Conversely, most homes that sell quickly are priced too low and cheat the homeowner out of profi ts. You need to un-derstand the market and evaluate the value of your home based on fact, not gut instinct or conventional wisdom. A professional agent knows the market, just as you know the mar-ket for your business.

Choosing a Real Estate Profession-al Based on Personal Relationships: Home sellers often pick a friend or family

member as their agent. Choose an agent with a strong track record and aggressive market-ing plan. A top producer knows the market well and can generate many buyers. Selling your home is one of the most important de-cisions you’ll ever make! Base it on good, sound business sense and the rewards will add up.

Before you make one of your most im-portant decisions regarding your home sale, shouldn’t you become as informed as pos-sible? By aligning yourself with a top agent

you ensure that all the important issues and seemingly insignifi cant but very important details are handled professionally. Your home sale should not be a grueling ordeal. The more informed you are, the better chance you have of making a sound business decision.
