Mayor’s cabinet attends meeting about 1st district
On Thursday, August 20, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and the heads of her agencies hosted a Cabinet in the Community meeting for the 1st District at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School.
“We all know that the last few months for this city have been extremely rough for everyone and it’s really testing the resolve of our city. I was just talking to the reporters outside and I said, just because the battle is rough doesn’t mean you give up. That’s not what we’re made of in Baltimore,” stated Rawlings-Blake.
The mayor continued saying she is working to solve long-term systematic issues and to unite the city. She referenced her One Baltimore Initiative and Youth Works programs.
Rawlings-Blake also talked about her municipal trash can program which was announced last week. She said that it is a step in the right direction for trash management and rat abatement.

Liquor Board suspends, fines, problem bar
Sheba Restaurant and Nightclub at 3301 Foster Ave. went before the Liquor Board on Thursday, August 20.
The establishment, which was formally known as Mojito, faced a number of violations, most of which pertained to Sheba’s noise levels.
Many violations were the results of 311 calls and multiple community complaints.
During a routine inspection, the bartenders could not provide liquor receipts. There were also reports of the establishment purchasing alcohol from an outside seller for the purposes of resale which was not allowed.
The inspectors also caught Sheba hosting live entertainment, such as DJs and dancing, which is not allowed with their current license.
Residents who have been directly affected by Sheba were encouraged to send letters to the Liquor Board outlining the disturbances.
Rebecca Opfer lives next door.“I have noticed that they have installed new
speakers, have had bands play, have had karaoke and DJs on multiple nights. The music they play literally makes the floors of my house shake and it goes on until closing time, sometimes 7 days a week,” she wrote to the Liquor Board. “
Opfer also reported various incidents of customers of Sheba fighting outside the establishment, illegal parking, and even violent threats from bartenders.
“Sheba has been a thorn in mine, and my neighbor’s side which we wish to see removed. They are not good for our community and have proven to have a bad track record not only with citizens but with our city laws.”
Sean Flanagan, the president of the Canton Community Association, acted as a witness.
“I believe the violations and reports are absolutely accurate,” he said, mentioning that the loud music is a nightly occurrence and not a fluke. “It is the standard operating procedure. I’ve constantly driven by and stopped by and heard the music. Of all the bars in Canton collectively I’ve not received as many calls, concerns, complaints, and expressions of reluctance to be involved with patrons and management.”
Sheba’s owner Nurlign Nurlign said the violations are a direct result of mismanagement from a new manager.
Nurlign said that Sheba, which has been in Canton for over two years, never had a history of complaints until a few months ago when the new manager took over and ignored the rules, such as the bar having to be closed at 10 p.m. Sheba was observed being open until 2 a.m.
He said he wasn’t aware of the violations and
that none of his employees told him what was happening.
Nurlign asserted that since then he has fired his entire staff, including the manager and will start fresh.
The Liquor Board punished Sheba with a fine of $1250, $250 for each of the 5 violations, and a 30-day suspension. A sign announcing the temporary closure has already been placed on Sheba’s facade.
Nurlign’s lawyer said he will use this time to regroup and work with the community to find solutions and avoid this from happening again.
Amigos Bar at 400 S. Eaton St. also faced the Liquor Board that same day.
Amigos has been caught multiple times being open past 1 a.m., which is against their license.
The bartenders also didn’t have employee records available when the inspectors asked for them.
The most serious offense was during an incident where inspectors and police tried to enter the establishment and found the front doors locked.
Liquor Board Commissioner, Benjamin Niel called this “troubling” and said that it put the customer, who were there after-hours, at risk. He said the owners and employees need to be more vigilant in the future.
Amigos was fined $750, $250 for each offense, without a suspension.
“Don’t let it happen it again, if they come in there and it’s after 1 o clock and they can’t get in, it’s going to be a different outcome,” said Neil.

THEN:The first known resident of what is now Patterson Park was
Quinton Parker in 1669. At that time, it was possible to navigate a
small boat up Harris Creek from the Patapsco River right into
Patterson Park. In 1708 the land was conveyed to Nicholas Rogers,
and in 1792 William Patterson purchased the 200 acre Harris Creek
Rogers estate at auction for $8,500.
Patterson Park HistoryOn Hampstead Hill, the ridge where the
Pagoda now stands, Baltimoreans rallied on September 12, 1814 to
protect the city from the threat of a British invasion. By water,
British troops entered the Patapsco River and bombarded Fort
McHenry. By land, they amassed forces at North Point. As they
marched on to Baltimore and looked up to Hampstead Hill they
saw Rodger’s Bastion – including 100 cannons and 20,000 troops.
This sight led the British to return to their ships and leave the Port
of Baltimore.With its historic significance and fine view of the harbor, the area
became a popular place for citizens to stroll and picnic. In 1827, in
an effort to re-create the public walks that he had seen in Europe,
William Patterson offered the mayor of Baltimore six acres of land
on the hill. In 1850, the city purchased another 29 acres from
Patterson’s heirs and on the evening of July 13, 1853, 20,000
citizens witnessed the park’s formal introduction as a public space.
Eventually, the city purchased an additional 30 acres of land and
began planning for park structures fashioned after those in Central
Park. However, on the eve of the Civil War in 1861, all parks and
open spaces were earmarked for troop occupation. Camp Washburn
was established on Hampstead Hill and later a hospital – Camp
Patterson Park – was set up. Once again, Hampstead Hill was a
strategic military lookout and fortification.
When the hospital was dismantled in 1864, the park was in
deplorable condition. George A. Frederick was hired to build
structural elements within the park, enhancing the park’s beauty by
introducing the Victorian character that remains today.
The Pagoda, originally known as the Observation Tower, was
designed in 1890 by Charles H. Latrobe, then Superintendent of
Parks. In 1905, Baltimore enlisted the help of the famous Olmsteds,
who created plans for a recreational design for the eastern section
of the park, believing that only through its use would the park
remain healthy and vital. Public pools, sports fields, and playgrounds
became more important to a growing urban population.
NOW:Historic Patterson Park will be a thriving and welcoming urban
green space. It will stand as an inspiring example of how people can
come together and better their community. It will reflect the
diversity of Baltimore neighborhoods and be inclusive where
everyone feels welcome and safe. Patterson Park will be an oasis
from city streets and our busy lives. It will be a place that expands
the human spirit through a connection with the earth and serve as a
reminder of our responsibility to be caretakers of the world in which
we live. Whether playing a game of softball with friends or taking
quiet time to read a book, park users will have a place for
rejuvenation through exercise and rest. Our park will be a cherished
gathering place for the community—where people meet to discuss
the news or listen to music, families take time for a picnic, and
children create memories that last a lifetime.
THEN & NOW: Patterson Park
In 1950 Patterson Park was just as popular a site for local football leagues and rec clubs as it is today.

BALTIMORE GUIDE 3WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2015
Development planned for Canton Waterfront
Over $1 billion worth of development and expansions could be in the future of the Canton Waterfront.
Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT), a real-estate corporation, announced their plans for the 10 acres of property they own on the waterfront last week at the Urban Design and Architecture Review Panel.
The project, called The Waterfront at Canton Crossing, includes 13 buildings and public space they say will be biker- and pedestrian-friendly.
Of these building, there will be five or six office buildings, a 300-room hotel, retail, a marina with up to 200 boat slips, and possibly some residential housing. The waterfront promenade on the property would be extended as well. The proposed building would be built on both sides of the CareFirst tower at 1501 S Clinton St.
COPT is now in the process of securing an amendment that would allow for development in the Canton Crossing area. The amendment would give the developers permission to have more parking and higher density and building heights. The meeting at the UDARP is the first step.
Construction could begin by summer of 2016, contingent upon receiving pre-approval and pre-leasing from the city and the review panel.
“We view this development in part as being an opportunity to create a waterfront connection for the Canton neighborhood. In order to create that waterfront connection, not only do we need to invest in the Harbor Walk, but we need to add green space so it becomes that part of a space that the neighborhood feels like they can enjoy,” said Wayne Lingafelter, the president of development and construction for COPT.
Lingafelter said COPT will attempt to form a partnership with the city and other local groups during planning and construction.
In October, the COPT presented the UDARP with a smaller-scale proposal, with only four office buildings and a retail complex.
Panelists at the UDARP expressed concerns over the shadows the high-rise building would create and how this would impact the city’s green spaces. They also worried about the increase of traffic that would occur on Boston and S. Clinton Streets.
These reservations aside, the panel was supportive of the plan.
Another piece of news about the Canton Waterfront Park will likely have other parks seeing green.
Last week, the Canton Waterfront was named Baltimore’s first organic park.
The three-year process is an effort between the city’s Sustainability Commission and Recreation and Parks Department and the Maryland Pesticide Education Network to reduce pesticide usage in the park.
The organizations said that the Canton Waterfront was a great starting point since the harmful pesticides have a direct route into the Inner Harbor. The pesticides that trickle into resident’s drinking water have been linked to certain cancers, autism, and other diseases that threaten sealife.
“The work to transition Canton Waterfront Park to organic lawn care is part of Baltimore City’s Sustainability Plan for reducing pesticide use. As with the State House grounds, the second and third phases of this demonstration project are being completed during 2014-2015, to provide a safe, healthy and attractive park for visitors and to educate City residents about pesticide hazards and safer yard and garden care,” states the Maryland Pesticide Education Network’s website.
The first step of creating an organically managed park is to test the pH levels of the soil and recording what supplements it needs. Then seeds are added which eliminate the growth of weeds and aerates the soil.
The Pesticide Education Network is hoping to expand their environmentally-friendly endeavors to other parks in the state. They are working to secure private and public funds.
A party was held at the park on Saturday, August 15 to celebrate the successful effort and raise awareness for the project.

COMING SEPTEMBER 2
BALTIMORE GUIDE 5WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2015
Amid the seemingly endless rows of concrete sidewalks and brick walls lies a green oasis on S. Conkling St.
A mural, featuring a train shaped like a snail bursting through the ground, welcomes you to a community garden.
Right now, the garden has 10 wooden planters with two plots in each. Residents can purchase a plot for $20 a year. The gardening supplies were funded with grants from Parks and People and Healthy Neighborhood.
“The plots are all rented out to different folks in the community,” said Robyn Dorsey, one of the garden’s organizers. “Preference is given to Highlandtown community members, but we have plots reserved for members of the Hispanic community who it maybe wouldn’t be easy for us to connect to.”
Dorsey said they work with the International Rescue Committee, which provides aid for refugees who have been displaced by war and disasters.
She said a family from Bhutan owns a plot and are growing quite the impressive fig tree.
Another plot is owned by a professor from Honduras who teaches agriculture. He’s working side-by-side with a Highlandtown high school student who was introduced to him through the Youth Works program. The pair works together, growing a variety of plants year round and hosting gardening workshops.
Robyn’s husband, Michael Dorsey, said this is the ultimate goal of the garden, to bring the diverse members of the community together.
“This really has been an effort towards multiculturalism,” he said.
Some of the plants are donated by the organic market, Rooftop Hot at 339 S. Conkling St.
The planters are framed by more murals from half a dozen artists. On it, a realistically painted sparrow perches on a black and white geometric shape that’s next to some colorful spinning tops.
The artists collaborated and combined their own styles into one cohesive piece that draws the eye to the unsuspecting alley.
In a way, the mural mirrors the varied stories of those who tend the garden.
Michael said the front part of the lot will be transformed into a communal area for neighbors, complete with grills for cookouts, a bocce ball court, and an area for playing horseshoes. The area past the planters and behind the adjacent building will become another recreational area. They will put picnic tables and use the side of the building to project movies.
“I sort of think of it as the backyard for the neighborhood,” said Robyn.
The train tracks running through the garden represent the alley’s past which was a train stop where meat was delivered to the Esskay factory on E. Baltimore St.
The lot has since been abandoned, remaining unused for around 35 years. It has been plagued by prostitution and drug users. Since the garden’s visibility increased and the constant presence of gardeners tending to their plots, this type of activity has become almost nonexistent.
“It’s taking what was a debacle, a place that was used by sex workers and drug users as a warren, into a community asset. The idea of healthy urban food production in a city atmosphere is good and it also brings people together,” said Michael.
Kevin Bernhard, another organizer, gestures to the back of the plot which is overgrown with plants and is slightly squishy from rain run-off.
He said that starting in the spring of 2016, the garden will become the site of new retention units and rain gardens to prevent drainage runoff. This project is put together by Blue Water Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay Trust through a $75000.
“If we’re building these water retention units to hold on to the water, we’re in effect lessening the stormwater that goes into and damages the bay,” said Bernhard.
The organizers are hosting another Build Day on August 30 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Volunteers will help build the back fence and the stand for the eventual toolshed.
Currently, they have a fundraiser called “Bohs and Os for the Conkling Street Garden”. For $55, you get a ticket to watch to Orioles’ September 12th game, access to a bullpen party with all-you-can-drink beer and food. The money will go into improving and expanding the garden.
To purchase tickets, go to www.eventbrite.com/e/bohs-and-os-for-the-conkling-street-garden-tickets -18023915015.

THEN:The first known resident of what is now Patterson Park was
Quinton Parker in 1669. At that time, it was possible to navigate a
small boat up Harris Creek from the Patapsco River right into
Patterson Park. In 1708 the land was conveyed to Nicholas Rogers,
and in 1792 William Patterson purchased the 200 acre Harris Creek
Rogers estate at auction for $8,500.
Patterson Park HistoryOn Hampstead Hill, the ridge where the
Pagoda now stands, Baltimoreans rallied on September 12, 1814 to
protect the city from the threat of a British invasion. By water,
British troops entered the Patapsco River and bombarded Fort
McHenry. By land, they amassed forces at North Point. As they
marched on to Baltimore and looked up to Hampstead Hill they
saw Rodger’s Bastion – including 100 cannons and 20,000 troops.
This sight led the British to return to their ships and leave the Port
of Baltimore.With its historic significance and fine view of the harbor, the area
became a popular place for citizens to stroll and picnic. In 1827, in
an effort to re-create the public walks that he had seen in Europe,
William Patterson offered the mayor of Baltimore six acres of land
on the hill. In 1850, the city purchased another 29 acres from
Patterson’s heirs and on the evening of July 13, 1853, 20,000
citizens witnessed the park’s formal introduction as a public space.
Eventually, the city purchased an additional 30 acres of land and
began planning for park structures fashioned after those in Central
Park. However, on the eve of the Civil War in 1861, all parks and
open spaces were earmarked for troop occupation. Camp Washburn
was established on Hampstead Hill and later a hospital – Camp
Patterson Park – was set up. Once again, Hampstead Hill was a
strategic military lookout and fortification.
When the hospital was dismantled in 1864, the park was in
deplorable condition. George A. Frederick was hired to build
structural elements within the park, enhancing the park’s beauty by
introducing the Victorian character that remains today.
The Pagoda, originally known as the Observation Tower, was
designed in 1890 by Charles H. Latrobe, then Superintendent of
Parks. In 1905, Baltimore enlisted the help of the famous Olmsteds,
who created plans for a recreational design for the eastern section
of the park, believing that only through its use would the park
remain healthy and vital. Public pools, sports fields, and playgrounds
became more important to a growing urban population.
NOW:Historic Patterson Park will be a thriving and welcoming urban
green space. It will stand as an inspiring example of how people can
come together and better their community. It will reflect the
diversity of Baltimore neighborhoods and be inclusive where
everyone feels welcome and safe. Patterson Park will be an oasis
from city streets and our busy lives. It will be a place that expands
the human spirit through a connection with the earth and serve as a
reminder of our responsibility to be caretakers of the world in which
we live. Whether playing a game of softball with friends or taking
quiet time to read a book, park users will have a place for
rejuvenation through exercise and rest. Our park will be a cherished
gathering place for the community—where people meet to discuss
the news or listen to music, families take time for a picnic, and
children create memories that last a lifetime.
THEN & NOW: Patterson Park
In 1950 Patterson Park was just as popular a site for local football leagues and rec clubs as it is today.

BIRDS HOUSE by Andy MindzAk
Gausman the Boss Man
As the saying goes, “If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.” That has been the month of August for Baltimore Orioles’ starting pitcher Kevin Gausman.
The 24 year-old starter has been solid in August save for one bad start against the Los Angeles Angels, but in five August starts, Gausman has posted four quality starts. Unfortunately for him (and the Orioles) his record in August is actually 1-3.
Gausman won his first start of the month against the Detroit Tigers by a score of 6-2, pitching seven solid innings and allowing only two earned runs while striking out six. His next start didn’t exactly go as planned as he got lit up by the Angels for six earned runs in less than six innings pitched as the O’s lost 8-4.
Gausman got back on track for his next start against the Seattle Mariners as he allowed only three earned runs in seven strong innings and set a career high with eight strikeouts. Unfortunately the pitcher he was going against from Seattle, Hisashi Iwakuma, tossed a no-hitter as Gausman was the tough-luck loser. Tough to top that!
His next start was against the New York Mets as once again he put forth a quality effort, going six innings and allowing three earned runs while striking out six and walking only one. In case you haven’t noticed the trend here, Gausman took the loss as the O’s fell 5-2.
Gausman’s fifth start of the month was against the Minnesota Twins and once again, he was dialed in. This time Gausman threw seven stellar innings while allowing only two earned runs on only three hits as he tied his newly set career high in strikeouts with eight. This time, however, it was the normally reliable Zach Britton who did him in.
Gausman left the game with a 3-2 lead and gave way to Darren O’Day who does what he does best, keep the game in check for Britton. O’Day struck out two of the three batters he faced and didn’t allow a single baserunner. Britton, on the other

Now with two outs and a man on second base, Britton gave up the game-tying run on a single by Trevor Plouffe. Britton would give up yet another single before striking out the final batter as the O’s would eventually go on to lose the game 4-3.
Bad luck aside, Gausman has been dialed in for five of his last six starts. If you take out that stinker of a game against the Angels, Gausman would have an ERA of 2.59 for five of those six starts. Over that span of 34 2/3 innings pitched, he has struck out 33 batters while walking only four. Pretty good stuff.
The key to his success has been control. Before the All Star Break, Gausman walked nine batters in 27 IP. After the All Star Break, he actually has less walks (eight) but almost twice as many innings pitched (46 1/3).
Right now Baltimore is on the outside looking in as they are now two games back of the final Wild-Card spot, and are now 6 ½ games behind the first-place Toronto Blue Jays. If they want to play into October, they need to win games like the ones Gausman has started but has fallen on bad luck, otherwise Gausman and the rest of the O’s can talk about all of their bad luck while they pack their lockers up and head home.

Friends and family remember Leto’s love for lifeBy ERIK ZyGMOnT [email protected]“We didn’t think we’d need all this space, but obviously we did,” said Diane Posko to a couple hundred friends and family mem-bers gathered at Fell’s Point’s Polish Home Club last Friday to celebrate the life of Kimberly Leto.
Posko, Leto’s sister, said that Leto would not have wanted the event to be sad. “She would love for us to all focus on how much we all loved her and her smile and laugh,” Posko said. She also mentioned her sister’s “abso-lutely wicked” sense of humor and deep affinity for the spiritual.“Although Kim was not associated with a specific religion, she was very spiritual,” said Posko. “She had an uncanny ability to understand these ancient texts.” Jan Dietrich, a spiritual mentor for Leto, said that she “really valued the presence of God in her life.”

Before the meeting, district 1 residents were encouraged to take a survey ranking the issues they felt were most important.
“We asked residents what their top priorities were. The number one priority for district 1 residents was public safety at 43.9%. That was followed by sanitation at 19.7% and the third was transportation and infrastructure at 15.2%,” said Anna Mudd, the community liaison for the district.
Next, Rawlings-Blake introduced her agency heads. In attendance was interim police commissioner Kevin Davis.
“In spite of a challenging summer, I remain optimistic about the crime fighting and about the community collaboration, to work with the people in this rooms and to work with other law enforcement agencies in the region and know that we’ll look back on the summer of 2015 and really be proud of how we conducted ourselves and fought our way out of this,” said Davis in his opening remarks.
The audience was then allowed to ask questions. After the Q&A, the agency heads moved throughout the school for one-on-one breakout sessions.
The first question was about trash. The residents asked the mayor if there were any incentives in place to motivate communities to care about proper trash disposal and recycling. She spoke about the bill that would’ve put a tax on water bottles and how it was not passed and asked what other similar efforts were underway.
“This is about behaviors. We work very hard to clean our city and the frustrating part is when we see areas that have been cleaned up and no sooner then it’s clean, bags of trash, and mattresses, and things are thrown there again. These items aren’t coming from Essex, they aren’t coming from Florida, they’re not coming from Mars. They’re coming from your neighbors and the issue is we have to do a better job of educating about the impact of trash,” said Rawlings-Blake.
She also said that her community clean-ups, which gave out four $5000 prizes to communities that showed the most improvement in trash management, acted as an incentive. Then, there was a question about crime and the high murder rate, many of which had young people as the victims.
“It is a very grim statistic because its one of those things where if somebody litters, we can pick it up. If a life is lost, there’s no do-over. And that’s why this work is so urgent. And we know it’s not just about arrests and not just a policing issues, especially when we talk about the young people. That’s why I was so focused on making sure young people had those job opportunities,” said Rawlings-Blake mentioning the need for recreation centers to
prevent crime.“The only way to fight your way out of a
crisis is to collaborate. We’ve done that with the War Room. We’ve done that with BFED. We’re taking innovative approaches to people who have pulled the triggers and taken lives. We will continue to adjust these strategies as we need to,” said Davis.
When asked about foot patrols, Davis said that the officers are encouraged to use them, but many don’t know how to since they’re only familiar with talking to the public in a work-related situation, like when making an arrest or getting witness testimony.
“A police officer engaging in a foot patrol is more of an art form than a science,” he said.
The last question was from a resident who criticized public transportation. She said that buses were often late or too crowded to board.
“We want to have a more public -transportation-friendly community. It is because I know how valuable and how vital public transportation is to families. It’s why I was so disappointed when I went to the secretary of transportation’s meeting to talk about the Red Line and basically all we got was that they would work to make the buses run on time. The obligation for transformation lies within the jurisdiction of the state. We are fighting like H-E-double hockey sticks to make sure that they understand that they can’t absolve themselves of that obligation.” she said.
“The Red Line was more than transportation, it was hope, it was jobs, it was economic development. Baltimore city residents deserve more. People can say what they want. They can say I don’t want to get along with the governor. They can say whatever, but I am going to continue to fight because we deserve nothing less in Baltimore City.”
