Patterson alumni to honor their ‘Mr. Holland’
From 1951-1985, Clarence Wroblewski, now 91, was band director at Patterson High School.
“We consider him our real-life Mr. Holland,” says Yari Villanueva, a graduate of the Patterson High School class of 1973, referring to the sentimental movie, “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” starring Richard Dreyfuss as a hard-working, much-loved music teacher.
“He directed, encouraged, mentored and inspired legions of students, many of who went into the music profession,” says Villanueva, who himself now works for the Maryland Adjutant General as commander of the Maryland Defense Force Band.
He is currently retired from the U.S. Air Force Band, with which he spent 23 years in Washington, D.C.
He is not the only former student of Wroblewski who went on to success in the music business. Joe Compello, Villanueva says, is “another successful band director in the Baltimore area, and a composer of music for elementary school bands.”

‘Return of the Greektown Reading Series’ comes to IkarosBY ERIK [email protected]
Valerie Sunderland, known for her watercolor scenes of the Eastern Shore, where she now lives, is coming home to Greektown on Sunday, Nov. 2, for a special showing at Ikaros Restaurant, 4901 Eastern Ave., starting at noon.
While she grew up in a home “just slightly east of what is now Bayview,” Sunderland also grew up in Lou’s Bar.
“My father’s business was right smack in the middle of Greektown,” she says, though her family no longer has ties to Lou’s.
Sunderland fondly remembers bringing classmates from elementary school to the bar. Obviously, it was a different time.
“We could go to the bar and have fries and a Coke,” she remembers. “They thought they’d died and gone to heaven.”

To the Editor:I was most pleased to see that the Big Brothers Big Sisters program has an active presence in my neighborhood. (Editor’s note: See “Is mentoring the answer to Southeast youth crime,” Oct. 21.)I was a Big Brother until my work and family responsibilities made the task impossible. Many years after I left the program, my former “little brother” recognized me. It was nice for me to see that he was a fine young man working as a carpenter.The hug I got from the carpenter led me to believe that the time I spent with him was pleasing to a carpenter I have long worshipped.

Teen to be tried as adult in Leto murder
Alonzo Gorham-Ramos, charged in the murder of Kim Leto, will be tried as an adult a judge ruled last Wednesday.
Judge Philip Jackson of Baltimore City Circuit Court announced his ruling before Gorham-Ramos, now 15, as well as members of Leto’s family.
“I feel like, now, justice can start to be served,” said Kim Carrick, a close friend of Leto’s.
Leto, 52, was found dead in her home at 409 S. Ellwood Ave. on Jan. 31. Police later arrested Gorham-Ramos and Allen Pinkney in connection with the case, and found Leto was killed in the midst of a burglary. Gorham-Ramos had already been arrested for a burglary at the same home in the summer of 2013.
Pinkney, who was 16 at the time the murder was committed, is too old to be eligible for the juvenile system, given the serious nature of a first-degree murder charge.
Since Gorham-Ramos was 14, however, his attorneys from the Maryland Office of the Public Defender made a motion to have their client tried as a juvenile. At a hearing last week, they offered testimony from an expert witness that an adolescent’s brain is less developed than that of an adult.
by STEPHEN [email protected] Reading his ruling from the bench on
Wednesday, Judge Jackson pointed out that Gorham-Ramos’ stature–5 ft. 8, 170 lbs.–is close to his own. Nevertheless, he said he was convinced of the expert’s testimony on brain development
Ultimately, however, the “most heinous” nature of the crime outweighed other considerations, Jackson said.
“This scenario is everyone’s worst nightmare,” the judge said of the case.
In the ruling, Jackson alluded to both the “brazen” facts in the case, and Gorham-Ramos’ past arrest for burglarizing the home.
Though it means the case will continue with a trial, Leto’s family expressed a measure of satisfaction at the ruling.
Diane Posko, Leto’s sister, said she was satisfied that the judge looked at the case as a whole.
“I feel really fortunate that he looked at everything and appropriately considered everything,” Posko said. “It makes me have faith in the justice system.”
According to court records, Pinkney and Gorham-Ramos are both scheduled to stand trial on Nov. 13. The proceeding is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. in the room 226 of Courthouse West at Lexington and St. Paul.

Liquor Board fines Arcos, El Antroby ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected]
Yanes himself was not present for the hearing, a circumstance which motivated the commissioners to pass a “unanimous resolution of the board,” said Ward, that all licensees must be present for hearings involving their liquor licenses.
Liquor Board Inspector Mark Fossler and Police Officer Todd Brown had testified that they entered El Antro on July 26 at about 2:30 p.m., a half-hour past the lawful closing time.
“We saw 11 individuals in the bar area,” said Fossler, adding that he counted five beers in cups and two in bottles, and saw two people in the physical act of drinking.
Witnesses for El Antro denied that any drinking had gone on, though they did say that not all beers had been properly picked up and disposed of.
Antwon Randall, a security guard at El Antro, told the board that the people on premises after closing were his wife, mother-in-law, her sisters and a couple employees. Randall said that the group had been drinking at a different club.
“We were going to drive them home,” he said. “That was the responsible thing to do.”
“They were waiting inside the bar because they didn’t want to wait outside, for safety reasons,” elaborated Atty. Brian Everett, counsel for El Antro.
Nevertheless, the board fined El Antro for the consumption that allegedly took place after hours.
“The fine was not imposed because your mother-in-law was there,” Moore told Randall. “It’s about the consumption of alcohol after hours...so don’t blame your mother-in-law for what happened.”
In addition to Playbook Sports Bar and Grill, two other Southeast bars faced sanctions at the Liquor Board last Thursday.
Nicolas Ramos, licensee of Arcos Restaurant, 129 S. Broadway, was fond responsible for operating the restaurant on May 7, without a valid license.
Att. Gary Maslan, licensee for Ramos, mentioned that the license issue has since been addressed, and admitted to the charge.
“He’s sorry for what he did,” Maslan said, noting that the date of the violation was close to Cinco de Mayo.
“His restaurant is a popular institution for the Hispanic community,” Maslan said.
Indeed, it was Ramos who launched the Upper Fell’s Point public Cinco de Mayo celebration years ago. Ramos is a past president of the Hispanic Business Association and sits on the city’s Hispanic Commission.
Weighing an appropriate punishment, Liquor Board Chair Thomas Ward asked Maslan, “This is the first time I’ve asked this, but would you prefer a closure or a fine?”
Maslan referred that he would prefer a fine, but Commissioner Dana P. Moore disagreed.
“If I might, Your Honor,” she said, “He’s already closed, so that’s no sort of sanction whatsoever.”
During the course of the hearing, it had come out that Arcos has been closed for the last two months.
Convinced, Ward suggested a $3,000 fine, with $1,500 suspended, for a total payment of $1,500. The other commissioners agreed.
Two other charges against Arcos stemming from Nov. 23 were dismissed. The charges, from police, involved an alleged fight inside the establishment in which four officers were allegedly required to “prevent further fights and disperse highly-intoxicated crowd.”
The other charge alleges that a “police officer observed that patrons exiting Arcos were highly intoxicated.”
As the officers involved were unavailable to testify, both charges were dismissed by the Liquor Board.
El Antro, 4020 E. Lombard St., also received a fine at last Thursday’s hearing. The board found the bar responsible for being open past 2 a.m. on July 26, an incident which resulted in two charges.
The board fined licensee Rory Yanes $1,000 for each offense, but allowed the fines to be levied “concurrent,” meaning that the total payment was $1,000.

Southeast the anchor for northward development
Thanks in part to thriving southeast Baltimore, areas to the north are receiving new investment, Chris Ryer told neighborhood leaders last week.
Ryer, director of the Southeast Community Development Corp., attended a meeting of the Fell’s Point Task Force—an assembly of community association presidents from Fell’s Point north to Butchers Hill—to give a high-level summary of improvements underway in several key neighborhoods north of Patterson Park and east of Johns Hopkins, including McElderry Park and the CARE neighborhood, as well as the Patterson Park and Patterson Place neighborhoods.
Through the state’s Baltimore Regional Neighborhoods Initiative, a program implemented this year, Ryer said, the Southeast CDC—together with about 10 neighborhood-based and non-profit groups—applied for about $1 million in funds and received about three quarters of that.
“I think that’s pretty good,” Ryer said.Ryer was invited by Del. Pete Hammen,
who chairs the Task Force and initially let the Southeast CDC know about BRNI.
Hammen credits the approach with revitalizing the Patterson Park neighborhood several years ago.
“This is an experiment,” he said. “The whole concept of BRNI is, if you could take resources and apply them to a community over a period of time, then you can tell if it’s making a difference over a period of time.”
“It was sort of a step up in scale,” Ryer said. “It caused us to take a new look at our work, with new tools and new resources available.”
He elaborated on several projects currently underway or soon to start through the 2014 BRNI grants.
Library Square, a green space to the immediate west of the Patterson Park Branch of the Pratt Library, is receiving a new community center, Ryer said, as well as lighting, signange, street furniture and fencing. Through a separate initiative, the area will be renovated with a rain garden, with considerable help from Blue Water Baltimore.
The CARE (Caring Active Restoring Efforts) community, roughly located between E. Fayette and Monument streets, and from N. Wolfe St. to N. Patterson Park Ave., will be the site for extensive redevelopment, Ryer said, noting that in 2010, the area had 700 rowhomes, 100 of which were vacant.
“We thought the blockage for redevelopment in this area was a lack of access for construction
financing,” Ryer said. “We created a loan pool with a non-profit bank.”
He said that the loans are for homes to be sold for ownership, rather than for rent, “because we wanted the money to come back so we could use it again.”
Also with CARE, Ryer said, two non-profits, Parks and People and Civic Works, were hired with BRNI money “to manage the appearance of the community.” The two organizations, which Ryer said “do tremendous work,” are building, planting and enhancing sidewalks, trees, gardens and other landscape features.
“They do these intricate things out of old cobblestones and out of old railroad ties—it’s really quite lovely,” Ryer said.
Also included in the BRNI implementation is a renovation of the south side of the Northeast Market, just east of Johns Hopkins, for block parties and “neighborhood marketing.”
Ryer described neighborhood marketing as events in which visitors are introduced to young couples. Conversations may unfold as follows: “You should really buy a house here. We love living here. Oh, here are our two little kids.”
“It works,” said Ryer.What the Southeast CDC and partner
organizations didn’t receive in this year’s round of BRNI grants, Ryer said, was money for marketing, public safety, or Main Street programming.
How do these northern revitalization efforts tie into southeast Baltimore?
“Our approach is called a strength-based or asset-based approach,” Ryer said, explaining that his organization chooses revitalization target areas based on connections to stronger areas.
The stronger area in this case is the Southeast, in which the housing market is back to the levels it saw in 2008, he said..
“We tend to work on the edges of good and bad areas,” Ryer said. “That’s where we think we’re most effective.”
He added that selling such an approach is “always a struggle, because many people are used to a needs-based approach, and we’re not doing that; we’re using an investment-based approach.”
“And it takes a lot of self-discipline, and sometimes even some tough love, to work through that in a community-based setting.” Ryer continued. “But families move in; values go up. They’re joining the middle class just like everybody else.”

Republican hopeful Joh Sedtal hopes to reach across the aisle
With Election Day next Tuesday, Republican Joseph “Joh” Sedtal is putting himself out there, canvassing voters and hoping to gain a seat in House of Delegates for the 46th District.
Sedtal says that his biggest motivation for running is his experience working for Del. Wade Kach’s office, during which, he says, he learned that “there were certain offices I couldn’t go and talk to” because they were not inhabited by either Democrats or long-serving Republicans.
“People weren’t as open to going across the aisle as they should’ve been,” says Sedtal, “on both sides.”
“That was very upsetting for me to see.”In such a setting, he says, only the
Democratic agenda gains traction, “while Republicans are getting swept under the rug.”
The 24-year-old law student, a resident of Fell’s Point, says he would be different.
“I’d like to be the person who’s willing to be a mediator, essentially,” he says. “I thought maybe I could be the one to work on bipartisanship, and make sure the good ideas go through.” For Sedtal, one of those good
ideas would improve education, he says. Sedtal is in favor of adopting Baltimore County’s AVID program in the city. In AVID, an acronym for “Advancement Via Individual Determination,” a middle-of-the-road student with an average GPA might take a higher-level course, while also enrolling in an AVID elective, in which he is instructed, more-or-less, in how to succeed in the classroom through studying, taking notes and other learning strategies, Sedtal says.
“It’s been wildly successful in Baltimore County,” he says, acknowledging that implementing such a program has costs.
“You’d have to pay for an additional trained teacher at every high school in Baltimore, but the payoff would be tremendous,” he says.
And Sedtal has some ideas about revenue, outside of tax increases.
“We’re talking about over 40 tax increases in the O’Malley administration,” he says. “It keeps coming and coming.”
Instead, says Sedtal, the state should consider legalizing, regulating and taxing marijuana.
“We’re just missing out on revenue,” he says.
Regarding harder drugs, Sedtal believes

that addiction treatment should be separated from the criminal justice system, in which those who slip up in the city’s “abstinence-based programs” often find themselves not only relapsed but also in trouble with the law all over again, he says.
“We need to make it strictly about health,” says Sedtal of addiction treatment. “It’s about making people healthier, and right now it’s not about health, it’s about the penal system.”
Sedtal acknowledges that the Red Line is a hot topic for this year’s election.
“As it currently stands, I can’t support the Red Line as it is going to be,” he says. “It’s going to be over budget, and we don’t know where the money’s going to be coming from.”
He says that the plan should be “scrapped at the moment” until better ideas emerge.
“Things like the Charm City Circulator can work if implemented correctly,” Sedtal says, adding that something similar to the Red Line could work if funding could be secured and a way could be found “to make it as least intrusive as possible,” particularly to the Fell’s Point and Canton communities.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4, though early voting is already underway. Vying for the three seats in the House of Delegates, 46th
District, are Pete Hammen (incumbent), Luke Clippinger (incumbent), and Brooke Lierman on the Democratic side; Sedtal, Roger Bedingfield and Duane Shelton are running on the Republican side.

Ahead of Ritz hearing, a summons snafu
Things have heated up ahead of tomorrow’s Liquor Board hearing, in which the Ritz Cabaret, 504 S. Broadway, will ask the board for approval to expand the strip club’s exiting BD-7 liquor license to the yet-to-be built structure next door, which the Ritz’s owners say will be an upscale steakhouse without adult entertainment.
Last weekend, some residents who sent letters to the Liquor Board opposing the expansion received summonses in Liquor Board Chair Thomas Ward’s name demanding that they appear to testify at Thursday’s hearing.
On Monday, the summonses were officially canceled, “pursuant to the dictates” of Ward, confirmed Michelle Bailey-Hedgepeth, executive secretary of the Liquor Board.
The Guide emailed Bailey Hedgepeth several questions about the summonses, including how many were issued, and on whose behalf they were issued.
Bailey-Hedgepeth replied only that they had been canceled per Ward’s orders, and that residents who had been summonsed were notified by official letter that, while the Ritz is still on the Liquor Board docket for Thursday, they are not required to attend or testify.
Atty. Abraham Hurdle of the Law Offices of Melvin J. Kodenski did not comment on the origin of the summonses, but said that he “would imagine” that they may have been issued to establish whether or not the letter-writers were basing their opposition on hearsay.
Hurdle has represented New Ritz Inc., the company behind Ritz Cabaret, at several recent community association meetings, at which owners and liquor licensees David Hitchiner and Joseph Soltas have sought approval for their proposed steakhouse expansion. It is likely he will represent the licensees at Thursday’s hearing, though he did not explicitly confirm that.
Victor Corbin, president of the Fell’s Prospect Community Association, received a summons for himself, individually, and as president of the Fell’s Point Community Organization, likely an error, as Joanne Masopust is president of that association. Corbin’s summons requests both his appearance and documents from the association, including four years of membership records with addresses, “any and all emails associated with the expansion of the New Ritz and any parties involved,” and “all corporate organization documents for the Fell’s Point Community Organization.”
Corbin was angered by the summonses to
both himself and others, calling their effect “chilling” toward those who wish forward their opposition to a bar to the Liquor Board.
“I have people who are saying that they’re not going to send letters to the Liquor Board anymore,” he said.
Masopust concurred. “It was a blatant attempt at witness
intimidation and an attempt to silence the opposition,” she said. “In this city we have a huge problem in the criminal field with witness intimidation, and I don’t think this is any different.”
BD-7 liquor license vs. restaurant licenseThe owners of the Ritz have visited the
three community associations in which their proposed expansion would sit: the Fell’s Point Residents Association, the Douglass Place Neighborhood Association and the Fell’s Point Community Organization. FPRA and DPNA voted to support the expansion, both on the condition that the owners of the Ritz sign memoranda of understanding with the associations to include the stipulations that adult entertainment would never happen in the expansion, and that no pass-through would exist between the two buildings.
The Fell’s Point Community Organization voted against supporting the expansion of the Ritz’s BD-7 liquor license, and then voted to support the expansion should the Ritz decide instead to obtain a separate restaurant license for the proposed steakhouse.
Hurdle has said repeatedly that his clients do not intend to pursue a restaurant license, but will seek the expansion of their BD-7.
The Fell’s Point Task Force, which includes the leadership of the three above neighborhood associations as well as others in the area, voted unanimously last week to forward a letter to the Liquor Board supporting FPCO’s position.
Several nearby community associations--including the Fell’s Prospect Community Organization, the Upper Fell’s Point Improvement Association and the Butchers Hill Association--have also forwarded letters supporting FPCO’s opposition to the expansion of the Ritz’s BD-7 liquor license, as has the 46th District Delegation.
Corbin says that he is worried that a BD-7 liquor license, with no requirement to serve food, could result in a “mega bar” in the large space encompassed by the two buildings, should the steakhouse fail.
Beth Braun, president of the Butchers Hill Association, wrote: “If the intent of the owners is to operate a steakhouse, it seems that a restaurant license would be sufficient for the purpose.”

Great Halloween Lantern Parade wows againThe Great Halloween Lantern Parade and Festival drew a large crowd this year, both for the pre-parade activities and the march itself, which followed a new from the Patterson Park Boat Lake, past the Pulaski Monument, through the park’s annex fi eld and back.
This was the fi rst year that the Creative Alliance took complete creative control of the parade, naming Maria Aldana parade director. The Friends of Patterson Park contributed to the event with their band-management skills, honed through their Summer Concerts in the Park series.
The presenting sponsor of the free parade and festival was OneMain Financial. Bay Bank sponsored the kids’ costume contest, a perennial favorite, presented by Highlandtown Main Street.

RAVENS GAME DAY SPECIAL
The Ravens’ star wide-receiver Jacoby Jones, known for clutch catches, didn’t always have a football future, or so it seemed.
“When New Orleans native Jacoby Jones was a junior at St. Augustine, he was told he was too small to play football,” revealed Katherine Terrell of NOLA.com | The Times Picayune in a 2013 story, “Ambramson graduate Jacoby Jones made the most of his chance in stunning Ravens’ victory.”
Jones went on, Terrell wrote, to transfer high schools to play ball, but his career again appeared to end when he started college on a track scholarship.
It was Jones’ mother, Terrell wrote, that ordered him back into football.
Jones was wise to follow her advice. In 2007, he joined the Houston Texans, gaining 562 and 512 passing yards in each of his last two seasons, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
It was with Houston that he recorded his longest reception, 80 yards for the touchdown, in 2011. That year, he put up his largest per-game average yardage for receiving, with 16.5 yards.
Some say it was a bad play against Baltimore that brought Jones to the Ravens. He was released by the Texans several months after messing up a punt return in a playoff game that Houston would lose to Baltimore.
So far in Baltimore, Jones’ per-game receiving average has been hovering in the 12 and 13 ranges.
Last year, Jones made several key receptions, including a 66-yard touchdown against the New York Jets. Later, Jones’ catch and touchdown against the Denver Broncos gave the Ravens the tie (which they broke in double-overtime) and ultimately the advance in the 2013 playoffs.
Dubbed the “Mile High Miracle,” the
70-yard touchdown pass from Flacco to Jones was lauded by sportscasters across the country. The rest of the game also proved exciting, with the Ravens securing their win thanks to a 47-yard field goal by then-rookie Justin Tucker.
Jones scores points outside of football, too. In season 16 of “Dancing with the Stars,” he and partner Karina Smirnoff made it to the finals. Highlights included a score of three 10s for their Argentine Tango in week 9. The couple finished third overall for the season.
Earlier this year, Jones became a free agent, but has since entered into a four-year contract with the Ravens.

“He always said it was because of Clarence,” says Villanueva.
Ray Disney and Tom Wagner, who have had successful careers playing the trumpet and trombone, respectively, were also students of Wroblewski.
In addition to his lengthy post with the AIr Force, Villanueva is also a longtime “Taps” bugler, and even created a display on the history of military bugling for the Arlington National Cemetery, according to his biography at tapsbugler.com. He also planned and led musical honors for Wlliam Donald Schaefer’s funeral.
But it wasn’t just those with natural talent who were encouraged by Wroblewski, says Villanueva.
“He was a very patient man when it comes to teaching,” says Wroblewski’s former student. “You had students that came in with various levels of musical abilities...You had some students who needed a lot of help, and he was very patient with them.”
Highlandtown resident Leonora “Peachy” Dixon, who waits tables at Sabatino’s and writes on the side, remembers her former teacher fondly, despite the fact that she didn’t pursue a career in music.
“He was always a gentle person,” Dixon says.She was in the classroom when Wroblewski
proposed to his Frances, his wife, who was head of the school’s home economics program and also taught classes on work study and trade and industry.
“They were an item; they really were,” remembers Dixon. “They were young and beautiful.”
It is important to note that during Wroblewski’s time, band and music were central aspects of education and, generally, life in Baltimore. In addition to his post as band director and music teacher, Wroblewski directed the Chorus of the Chesapeake and performed with the Baltimore Park Band and the now-defunct Baltimore Municipal Band
“Baltimore is the only city that has in its charter that it has to provide music to its citizens,” explained Villanueva, thought the Municipal Band is no more.
Wroblewski’s main instrument is the clarinet, but, according to his wife, “he plays every instrument.”
Indeed, Wroblewski was organist at St. Gerard’s Church in O’Donnell Heights and the Immaculate Conception Church in Towson.
Likely, it was Wroblewski’s work at Patterson

High School that touched the most lives. Villanueva remembers the spring concerts and Broadway musicals.
“Thousands can still sing along to ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic,’ cheer to the school’s fight song, and, of course, be moved to tears by the singing of the opening lyrics to the school song, ‘Our Patterson,’” writes Villanueva in a short bio of Wroblewski.
Former students of the esteemed teacher and band leader have organized a tribute in his honor for Sunday, Nov. 9, 4-8 p.m., at the Fifth Regiment Armory on W. Preston St. in Baltimore. The cost for the tribute, which includes a hot and cold buffet, is $30, and must be paid in advance. The deadline to RSVP is Nov. 3.
Organizers ask that RSVP’s and payments be made to Debbie Kufel Groff, class of 1973. Mail checks to Groff at 906 Rose Ann Rd., Glen Burnie, MD 21060. She can also be reached at [email protected].
Villanueva says that friends and former students who cannot attend may still forward a letter, photo or video for a “tribute board” to Wroblewski. Villanueva may be reached at [email protected] or 443-801-5274.
For more information on the tribute to Clarence Wroblewski, search for the event on Facebook, or contact Villanueva.

HAPPY 60TH ANNIVERSARYDaniel & Connie MarciszewskiDaniel and Connie Marciszewski of Canton celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, on October 23, 2014.
The couple has three children Joseph Marciszewski, Monica Hawkins and David Marciszewski; daughter in law Terri, son in law Mark; four grand children Shelby, Caitlin, Daniel and Lacey; and two great grand children Bella and Anthony.
The family wishes them many more years of health and happiness.
Sunderland’s Eastern Shore scenes have a tranquility to them, and her paintings of the city, which she’ll bring to Ikaros on Sunday, also emphasize the peaceful and the orderly aspects of city life. As astronauts remark on the perfection of Earth as seen from space, Sunderland’s city-scapes are far closer to the bird’s perspective than that of the rat.
“I was at my daughter’s house, up on the roof with everybody else, and I thought, ‘Wow, this is pretty cool; I’m going to paint this,’” Sunderland explains. “So I did.”
A simple change of pace is another reason she likes painting city scenes, rowhomes in particular.
“It’s the antidote to the trees, marshes and boats, which I love painting, by the way, but it’s the other side to that,” she says.
Sunderland is also bringing her “postcards” to next Sunday’s show. These are paintings she did during her travels to Greece, Italy, out west and more.
“They’re big postcards, but they’re postcards,” she says. “They have so much more meaning, as great memories of these travels.”
Sunderland is the highlighted artist of
Sunday’s event, which writer Rafael Alvarez has taken to calling “The Return of the Greektown Reading Series.”
Alvarez—who wrote for the Baltimore Sun for over two decades, as well as for the acclaimed series “The Wire,” and has since been contributing to the City Paper and Baltimore Brew, when not working on a new book or promoting a published work—has organized the event.
He will read from “Tales from the Holy Land,” his short-story anthology of life in Baltimore, much of which occurs in 21224.
As with most Alvarez events, he has enlisted friends and colleagues. Don Corcoran, a Philadelphia-based author, will read from “A Road Paved in Iron,” which Alvarez calls “a voodoo Western.”
“It’s a thank-you for him,” explains Alvarez. “He had me read at his house when I did my last do-it-yourself book tour. It’s how a lot of this works. It’s like being in a garage band. You play at my house, and I’ll play at yours.”
Rounding out the readers is poet Christine Higgins, recipient of a Maryland State Arts Council Award.

Sixteen-year-old Bije Coxson, a senior at Baltimore School for the Arts, will perform a couple classical vocals, including an aria from “La Boheme.”
“Classical is my favorite,” says Coxson, who hopes to move on to a university or conservatory next year. “It’s different from a lot of the stuff you hear today, but it’s just something that’s a part of me. It comes from my heart.”
Emceeing the evening will be WJZ anchor Denise Koch emceeing the event.
Half of all proceeds from Sunderland’s paintings will go to Mother Seton Academy, an independent Catholic junior high school for low-income students, located at 2215 Greenmount Ave. in west Baltimore.
“We don’t receive government funding; we don’t receive arch-diocesan funding,” says Sister Margaret Juskelis, president of the school.
Mother Seton Academy students are recruited through local elementary schools, churches, organizations, “anyone who will help us find children,” says Juskelis.
Prospective students must qualify for free or reduced-price school lunches, and should perform close to grade level. A Saturday school program helps the school determine whether certain students have the will to succeed,
Juskelis adds. Mother Seton Academy receives one-third
of its budget from six supporting parishes; the balance comes from fund-raising. Juskelis says she is grateful that Alvarez and Sunderland have decided to benefit her school.
“Any friends we can find who really believe in our mission are a blessing to us indeed,” says Juskelis.
Mother Seton Academy aims to get its students not only into high school, but into college. To that end, a Mother Seton staff member visits graduates at least once a year—often once a marking period—as they progress through high school.
