Patterson Park area residents join forces to 'Hack the Trash'BY DANIELLE SWEENEY [email protected]

If you don’t know where to put your trash now in Patterson Park, something obvious—and aesthetic—should be there soon.

Brian Schneider and a group of Patterson-Park-area neighbors were recently awarded a Hack the Parks grant for $1,200 for 30 new drum-style trashcans. The trashcans will be painted by local artists and the community and placed in Patterson Park.

Teens push for improved Harbor

The teenage members of the one-year-old Inner Harbor Project recently appeared before City Council to ask for a “safe and inclusive” atmosphere in the Inner Harbor, the scene of some violent incidents involving youth.

The Inner Harbor Project, directed by Celia Neustadt, is a team made up of students from Baltimore City schools. Backed by an executive board including presidents of the Downtown Partnership and Waterfront Partnership and financial support fromAyers Saint Gross, the Cordish Company and Ignite Baltimore, among others, the group has, according to Neustadt, conducted about 40 interviews with Inner Harbor stakeholders and led 20 focus groups at local high schools.

“Our goal is to create a safe and inclusive Inner Harbor for local Baltimoreans, tourists and businesses alike,” Neustadt told the City Council’s Education and Youth Committee on Wednesday, June 26.

A spate of burglaries has hit Canton, with at least 25 incidents since June 7, according to a report posted on the Stay Classy Canton blog, www.stayclassycanton.com.

Concerned residents met on Monday evening with Major William Davis, commander of the Southeast District, as well as First District Councilman Jim Kraft. Kraft is arranging for a follow-up meeting with the State’s Attorney’s Office.

A police spokesman, Detective Vernon Davis, has confirmed that the police have doubled cars in the Canton area and added two bicycle patrollers as well. Davis said that additionally,

undercover officers are investigating the incidents, and there will be some foot patrols, too.

He said that the Police Department is telling residents to keep doors and windows locked, and to look out for each other.

“Know your neighbors,” he said. “Make sure you know if your neighbors are out of town or on vacation.”

Major Davis has frequently advised that residents call 911 if they see something suspicious in the neighborhood, such as someone looking in windows and doors.

Old-fashioned confections bring seaside to Fell's

On foot, on bicycle and by car: Police step up Canton presence following month of burglaries

For a Baltimore native, nothing says summertime better than fudge and hand-dipped ice cream, ideally consumed Atlantic Ocean-side, with a sea breeze.

But if you can’t reach the beach, fudge and ice cream eaten harborside is pretty much the next best thing.

Kilwins, an ice cream and old-fashioned confections shop, recently opened at 1625 Thames St., bringing a little seaside summer to historic Fell’s Point.

Owned by David and Karen Gilmore, the shop makes all of its dipped confections, fudge and brittles onsite. The ice cream comes from a dairy in Michigan.

The Gilmores say they chose Kilwins—they actually own a second franchise in Crofton—because it is a family-owned company.

“The products are top notch, too,” says David.

“And it’s not cookie-cutter,” adds Karen. “The franchises have some individuality.”

The Gilmores opened the two stores pretty much back to back, renovating the Fell’s Point store extensively. They are still getting to know the neighborhood and Baltimore.

They selected Fell’s Point because it’s well-

located, historic and near the water, as many of the Kilwins shops are.

One of the most fun things about owning a candy shop, they say, is making the fudge and dipping the apples. The second most fun thing is watching someone else do it.

“We get a crowd in here and outside looking through the window...It smells wonderful. It’s a great experience,” says David. “Yesterday,” he adds, pointing to a marble table, "that table was full of caramel apples.”

“There’s something here for everyone,” says Karen. “For moms and for kids: chocolates, toffee, caramels, nuts, brittles, kettle corns, ice cream, fudge—and coffee drinks for those who have less of a sweet tooth.”

It’s no place to worry about calories.“Why feel guilty?” says Karen. “The way I

look at it is we’re like Vegas, but with candy and ice cream. What happens here, stays here.”

For her part, Karen says her favorite Kilwins ice cream flavor used to be toasted coconut, but now—or at least as of last week—it was Traverse City cherry.

“But that could change,” she says. “The store has 32 flavors.”

Schneider believes that park visitors do use the receptacles that are in place, but that there are so few—and they get filled so quickly—that overflow, especially after events, is ubiquitous.

“A good example is the small annex park. It is constantly in use and only has two trashcans,” Schneider says.

Schneider also thinks some of park’s current cans—many painted forest green--blend into the parks’ scenery too much, and park visitors can’t always see them from a distance.

“If people don’t know trashcans are there, they won’t use them,” he says.

Schneider knows that the city doesn’t have the money to install as many trash receptacles as Patterson Park needs.

“And the trash cans the city likes to install—the big black ones mounted into the ground—cost upwards of $3,000 each,” he says.

Too expensive to solve the park’s trash problem.

Schneider and his neighbors thought that artistically painted trashcans would mitigate both the visibility problem and the debris problem, while beautifying the park at the same time.

Hack the Trash, like all the Hack the Parks projects, is fast-tracked for comple-tion this summer, so the new trashcans will be painted soon.

“We’ve reached out to Banner Neighborhoods and local muralists,” he says, adding that it won’t be an artists-only project. “The community will be painting the cans, too.”

Schneider notes that Hack the Trash was actually one of four proposals the Fell’s Prospect and Patterson Park Neighborhood

Association submitted to the Hack the Parks competition.

Two of the others dealt with different issues: illegal driving and parking in the park.

“Yeah, parking and driving in the park is another one of our big concerns,” he says. “Those proposals didn’t get funded, unfor-tunately.”

Two: Greening in the city. As a Fell’s Point resident, I know it has been inordinately difficult to get dead trees removed and new ones planted in Fell’s Point. I understand that Tree Baltimore [the city’s tree planting arm] has suffered funding cuts, but we need to see what the state can do to fund the city’s Climate Action Plan, which calls for increasing the tree canopy.

Three: Public transportation. Living in Southeast Baltimore, I recognize that parking is becoming a greater and greater challenge in many communities. On the one hand, this is exciting because it means that people are discovering how great our neighborhoods are. On the other hand, because Baltimore’s public transit system is woefully inadequate, many people rely on cars to get around, and that needs to change if Baltimore is going to stay livable.

Four: Funding our schools. In the past year, we’ve secured a huge influx of resources. That must just be a first step; what’s happening inside the classrooms is just as important as brick and mortar. It’s important to make a case for Baltimore in Annapolis and change the perception that Baltimore is a drain on state resources.

Fell's Point resident seeks state offi ceNEWS

Brooke Lierman is a Fell’s Point resident, Democrat, attorney with Brown Goldstein and Levy, and member of the Fell’s Point Residents Association. She has worked with community groups on Liquor Board issues in Upper Fell’s Point, Highlandtown, and most recently in Federal Hill. She recently announced her candidacy for the House of Delegates, 46th District.Why did you decide to run for House of Delegates in 2014?

I’ve been involved in city issues both as a citizen and as a lawyer working with community groups on Liquor Board issues and I feel that I can get even more accomplished at the state level as a delegate. I believe that Baltimore has a lot of unrealized potential.

What are some of your main concerns right now? I have many. Here are the top four:

One: The Liquor Board. There’s no reason for it to be as frustrating as it is. We need to re-write Article 2B of the state code [which concerns the Liquor Board and liquor licensing.]

BY DANIELLE [email protected]

Where would you start with the Liquor Board? What are the fi rst changes you would make in the re-writing of Article 2B?

Amending the most problematic and cryptic sections of Article 2B, in particular Section 10, should be able to be accomplished in one legislative session. While any specific changes will require input from businesses and communities, Section 10-504(d) [dealing with vacation of premises and expiration of licenses[ is incredibly convoluted and would benefit from a redraft so it is simpler and easier to understand— for both license holders and communities concerned about liquor licenses.

Moreover, the code should include oversight authority of the Board of Liquor License Commissioners (BLLC) by some state entity—possibly the Attorney General’s office. [Currently the Board often hires private counsel to defend its decisions.]Regarding greening, Fell’s Point, Canton, and Little Italy all scored poorly on the most recent Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance measure of percent of area covered by trees. Do you have any specifi c ideas to help improve the Southeast’s tree canopy?

Baltimore has an active community of TreeKeepers, and the city has called for increased tree coverage in its Climate Action Plan. It lists that goal as a “mid-term to long-term” plan; however I believe action on trees is needed now.

I would work with TreeBaltimore, the TreeKeepers, and state officials to look at the best way to create a partnership between Baltimore City and the state to provide for increasing the tree canopy and green space throughout the city, especially in areas that most need it, like Southeast neigh-borhoods. This could take the form of community development grants and/or providing initial funding that can beleveraged by the city to create a large public-private partnership supporting Baltimore’s urban trees.How would you improve the city’s public transport problems?

Unlike other jurisdictions in Maryland, Baltimore’s main public transportation options are all controlled by the state. I will work with [the Maryland Transit Authority] and Maryland Department of Transportation to create more transparency and accountability…so that Baltimoreans have more say over the public transportation options in our city. (For instance, although the Charm City Circulator uses NextBus technology—which estimates arrivals— MTA has failed to install this simple and extremely useful tool.)

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1Inner Harbor: Youths consider code of conduct

The young members of the group presented five recommendations that they said would allow that goal to be reached.

The Inner Harbor Project’s first recommendation is to “increase the harmony among youth at the Inner Harbor.” Doing so would be difficult, said Diamond Sampson, a rising junior at Baltimore City College High School. Diamond acknowledged “physical and non-physical” incidents of violence that occur among youth at the Harbor.

Sampson’s classmate Rickya’h Brooks recommended peer mediation as a way to stop violence before it starts. She also said that teen volunteers could monitor social media Web sites such as Facebook for potential conflicts that could escalate into violence.

To create a better relationship between youth and police, the group recommended establishing an Inner Harbor “code of conduct,” which would both inform youth of their rights and of the rules that must be followed.

Anthony Johnson, who just graduated from Digital Harbor High School, recommended that youth engage Inner Harbor store owners in a dialog. He said that a Harborplace policy that barred youth under age 18 from entering stores before 5:30 p.m. on school days was short-sighted.

“Most teens go down to the Inner Harbor to buy things,” Johnson said. “Others go to window shop, and when they do have the money, they return to that item.”

Regarding theft, Johnson pledged that the Inner Harbor Project would “ broadcast to teens that their behavior has a huge effect on whether teens can go to the Harborplace and The Gallery.”

Emmanuel Grogan recommended that the Inner Harbor—which he said was mostly focused on tourism—be made over as a public space for locals as well. He recommended “cheaper activities” such as free concerts, and more seating. This would be good for tourism also, he argued.

“We know that what attracts tourists is authenticity,” he said. “What is more authentic than actual Baltimoreans?”

Aerielle Desalegne of Independence School Local 1 recommended more youth outlets in the Inner Harbor. She added that many youth saw the closure of the ESPN Zone as a sign that they were not wanted in the Inner Harbor. Kirby Fowler, president of the Downtown Partnership and a board member of the Inner Harbor Project, clarified that several ESPN Zones across the country had closed simultaneously for economic reasons.

Councilman Jim Kraft complimented the group on their presentation, and noted that there seems to be a perception of two different times at the Harbor.

“The earlier time is when it’s majority older white folks, and the later time is when it’s majority younger black folks,” said Kraft, adding that for the older crowd, “there’s a perception that they can’t be there when the younger black folks are there.”

“Right or wrong, this is a perception we always dance around,” he said. “We really need to figure this out, because it’s at the heart of so much of this.”

Neustadt said that the issue of perception would be addressed in the proposed code of conduct. She noted that youth often engage in rough horseplay—not actual violence—and are surprised when they are disciplined or told to leave.

“From focus groups, you hear all the time, ‘What were we doing wrong?’” she said.

Melissa Hyatt, commander of the Police Department’s Central District, which includes the Inner Harbor, said that the police would be collaborating with the Inner Harbor Project once the code of conduct is completed.

“Really, the primary goals of the Inner Harbor Project and the Baltimore Police Department are very much in sync,” she said, “a safe and enjoyable environment and improving community engagement.”

City Council President Jack Young noted that the ownership of Harborplace and The Gallery is interested in meeting with the Inner Harbor Project. He added that more youth activities, such as an ice-skating rink, are being considered for the area.

Laurie Schwartz, president of the Waterfront Partnership and a board member of the Inner Harbor Project, said that her group was looking into more free activities.

“It is a huge part of what we do,” she said.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 2013 BALTIMORE GUIDE 9

The Julie Community Center, located in a corner rowhouse at S. Washington and E. Lombard streets, has a simple and clear black-lettered sign. The center’s mission, serving Southeast Baltimore residents by fostering individual and neighborhood pride, participation and self-determination, is equally clear, though maybe not so simple.

For the past 28 years, Sister Barbara Ann English—familiarly known as Sister Bobby—has steered the center toward that mission. At the end of June, five months shy of her 80th birthday, she retired as director of the center.

“Although I still have some good energy, I’m getting up there,” said English.

“Good energy” may be an understatement. English doesn’t look a day over a very-fit 70. Although she won’t be directly responsible for the center’s activities, English, who enjoys yoga and swimming, said she will probably stick around to volunteer frequently.

English said that a succession plan had been started about five years ago, and a solid successor, Laura Syron, has been identified. Syron, a registered nurse, took over the center’s operations at the beginning of the month.

“We finally found a good candidate who was willing to do the work,” English said. “When you find a good candidate, you’ve got to jump on it.”

The Julie Community Center was formed in 1975 by English’s religious order, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. In 1976, it was designated a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Though it was founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame and has had two directors of that order, the center’s operations in improving the Southeast are completely secular.

“The basic component is love one another and work together,” said English. “What other more religious thing could you do in life besides that?”

English joined the Sisters of Notre Dame in 1951, and spent time teaching 4th through 8th grade, “up and down the East Coast, from New York to Georgia.”

After that, she moved to Brazil for 19 years and discovered her passion for community work.

“It’s so fun,” English said. “You never have a boring day.”

Health outreach and social outreach have been two of the Julie Community Center’s main priorities from the beginning.

English said that one of many projects may be teaching a diabetic to stick to his medication and diet.

“You put a well-trained health promoter beside people with health problems, and they work toward self-management,” she said.

Those health promoters are often student nurses at Johns Hopkins, completing community service as a requirement toward receiving their RNs.

“You hook them up with a diabetic person who is not doing well, and with some cheerleading, some coaching and some teaching, they eventually get it,” explained English.

But it may take some time, and the “magic number” is three.

“If you can stick with it for the three years, then you will have some success,” said English, adding that it took the center three years to help an immigrant woman get treatment for a cleft palate.

In the early days, it took the center three years and three months to close down local bars that employed underage prostitutes and drug dealers as well, English said.

“There must be some magic to three,” she said.

Soon after her arrival, English, the Julie Center and “a group of crazy people” took part in the HEART—Homeowners Expecting A Reasonable Tax—movement in the late 1980s. The movement started when, due to development, property values and, subsequently, taxes skyrocketed in

Butchers Hill and Upper Fell’s Point. Those negatively affected were the blue collar workers who had earlier bought homes in the no-frills but tidy neighborhood.

“They bought cheaply, but they took care of their homes and took pride in their homes,” said English. “One of the first things I heard when I came here was how people were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to stay here.”

After—there’s that number again—three years of effort, the group succeeded in getting a homeowners tax credit established, English said.

“I remember these things because they were intense, but at the same time they were tons of fun,” she said.

Another accomplishment in which English’s Julie Center participated was the establishment of community schools.

In the late 1990s, after a census pushed the Southeast to improve community conditions, a study group was established specifically for schools. This group identified assets, problems, resources and wishes for the 16 schools then in Southeast Baltimore. From this study came the concept of community schools—schools that not only educated children, but helped whole families work out their problems.

“If a child comes to school and is hungry, or is worried because the electricity has been shut off, or because his mom has

gotten an eviction letter, then he can’t very well study,” explained English.

In a community school, English said, both the school’s administration and a community coordinator look for resources in the local community that can helps students’ families. Examples include breakfast programs, after-school parent patrols, community members volunteering with schools and food pantries.

The Upper Fell’s Point Improvement Association’s relationship with Wolfe Street Academy, as well as the Butchers Hill Association’s sponsorship of Commodore John Rodgers Elementary and Middle School and Patterson Park Public Charter School are examples of community-and-school partnerships that have grown from that late-1990s initiative.

English is the first to give others credit for the various successes over the years.

“We haven’t done anything ourselves,” she said.

English turns 80 on Tuesday, November 19. The community is invited to visit for

breakfast, 7-9 a.m., or lunch, 11 a.m.-2 p.m., at the Julie Center. There

will also be a happy hour that night at Barbara Moore’s house, 1901 E. Baltimore St., from 5-8 p.m.

I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for the Orioles game on July 16 in New York’sCiti Field. Okay, it’s actually the 2013 All Star Game, not an Orioles game, but Baltimoreis sending four players, three of whomare starting.

Let’s start with Chris Davis. During the 2012 season Miguel Cabrera won the Triple Crown, but this year, he has some stiff competi-tion with Davis. Currently, Davis is hitting .320, third best in the American League, with a Major-League-best 33 home runs. Davis’s 85 runs batted in is good for second best. Currently, Cabrera leads the AL in batting average and runs batted in, but Davis is hanging around. Among AL first basemen, Davisleads in runs (63), hits (102), doubles (26),home runs (33), runs batted in (85), on-base percentage (.395), slugging percentage (.712), and OPS (1.106).

I guess if I had to say one negative thing about him, it’s that he doesn’t have a stolen base this year. And Scarlett Johansson isn’t gorgeous because of the nail polish she wears.

Starting at shortstop is J.J. Hardy. If you look at his batting average, his .251 mark isn’t that impressive, but he has almost twice as many home runs (15) as the next-closest shortstop. Hardy also leads the AL shortstops with 46

RBI, and, despite his power, there are ten shortstops who have struck out more than him this year.

The last All-Star-Game starter for the O’s is Adam Jones, who gets the nod in centerfield. Jones is having another great year, hitting .289 with 16 home runs and 61 RBI. His 107 hits are second among all outfielders—Mike Trout has 111—and his 59 runs are also second to Trout and Jose Bautista, who are the other outfielders starting for the AL in the All Star Game.

The fourth Oriole in this year’s All Star Game is 21-year-old Manny Machado, who will be backing up Miguel Cabrera. Currently, Machado is hitting .312 with six home runs and 42 RBI, and his 39 doubles lead the entire world. The current record for doubles in a single season belongs to Earl Webb, who hit 67 doubles back in 1931. Please also keep in mind this is Machado’s first full season in the bigs.

All in all, a pretty successful first half for the O’s. They are sending four Birds to the All Star Game and currently sit 4.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East. The O’s 49-40 record would have them tied with the Tampa Bay Rays for the final Wild-Card spot. Who knows, maybe we will even get to see an Oriole in the Home Run Derby on Monday, July 15!

It is the only national museum of its kind, says Dornic.

“It’s location is almost perfect, because we are located near Washington, D.C., and on I-95,” he says. “We believe that, eventually, we will be successful enough to build a much larger building for the museum.”

Establishing the museum has been a hard-fought battle. In early 2005, Dornic and the rest of a group led by retired firefighter Michael Sarnecki were unable to secure the historic St. Stanislaus Church building at Ann and Aliceanna streets. Today, that building houses a school for young children and a personal training studio.

Dornic said that Slavic immigration—which includes Polish immigration—is a huge part of the history of Southeast Baltimore.

“We even believe that Slavic people were here in America before Columbus,” laughs Dornic, referring to the migration of peoples across the land bridge that may have once connected what is now Russia with today’s Alaska.

REAL ESTATE

“It belongs in a museum!”So said Indiana Jones before fighting a

heroic one-man battle for an early Christian artifact.

And so says Father Ivan Dornic of St. Mary’s Assumption Church in Joppa, one of a large network of Slavic churches in greater Baltimore.

Back in “1970-something,” Dornic says, he was teaching at the University of Pittsburgh when he got a call from a colleague in Monessen, Penn. A Byzantine Catholic church in the town was being rehabbed and re-purposed by a developer.

“You should see what happened to our icons,” the caller said. “They are all out in the parking lot.”

Dornic hastily drove out to the town and rescued the icons—which were later appraised at a very high value.

As churches have declined, Dornic has found himself frequently embarking on similar missions over the years.

“It’s almost like a national problem,” Dornic says. “For some reason, they are closing down churches and destroying church artifacts.”

If he can’t save everything, at least there is a place to put things now.

The National Polish Slavic Museum, 1735 Fleet St. in Fell’s Point, is in the Sokolnia Hall, which was once used as a banquet hall by its owners, Ze Mean Bean Cafe, located next door. Dornic said that Ze Mean Bean has allowed the museum group—a coalition of individuals from the Slavic churches in the Baltimore area—to lease the property.

The completely volunteer-staffed muse-um has a large collection of texts, works of art, artifacts and other items, still in the process of being organized. A colorful icon of St. George slaying the dragon sits on a shelf. A book entitled “Forbidden Photographs” is a pictorial account of life behind the Iron Curtain. A hammer-shaped symbolic object, similar to a gavel, points to a time of peasants’ uprisings and crude weaponry, Dornic says.
