Kraft airs opinion on liquor phase-outBY ERIK [email protected]

City Councilman James Kraft elaborated on his views concerning the liquor portion of proposed zoning rewrite, which would phase out liquor stores in residential zones by prohibiting them from selling liquor after a two year grace period.

“This issue is not a zoning issue,” he told the Fell’s Point Residents Association last Wednesday. ‘This is a liquor enforcement issue. The majority of my colleagues feel the same way.”

Kraft said that he was addressing the association at the body’s request. At FPRA’s last meeting, Michael Snidal, Director of Community Engagement for the Citizens Planning and Housing Association had made a presentation to seek the association’s support for the liquor phaseout. Snidal has been visiting 1st District neighborhood associations in recent months with the purpose of obtaining letters of support for the phaseout. The letters, written to Kraft,

The Mustang Inn, a bar located at 3203 Eastern Ave., has been called for a public hearing before the Liquor Board because 119 nearby residents, real estate owners, and hom-eowners have signed a petition requesting one.

The petition states that “the Mustang Inn has proven to be a nuisance property in the Canton and Highlandtown communities. Numerous complaints of loud noise, loitering, over-serving and assault have originated from this bar. We believe that this establishment has

repeatedly violated Rule 3.12, which states, ‘Licensees shall operate their establishments in such a manner as to avoid disturbing the peace, safety, health, quiet, and general welfare of the community.’”

According to Liquor Board charging documents, the licensee, Ginger Cornejo, is being called before the board for two specific instances of disturbing the peace in October of 2013.

The hearing is scheduled for March 13.

Latin Palace, the 17-year-old Latino restaurant and dance and music venue at 509-513 S. Broadway, has been called before the Liquor Board for several license violations and non-cooperation.

The violations have nothing to do with alcohol, but include hosting live entertainment with a restricted liquor license and not cooperating with the liquor inspector.

According to the Liquor Board, the Latin Palace is not allowed to have live entertainment—at least not dancing and boxing—per restrictions on its license.

“Last year, on Nov. 3, a police report indicates that patrons were dancing, which violates the bar’s restriction on live entertainment,” says Liquor Board acting Executive Secretary Douglas Paige.

Additionally, according to a Liquor Board memo, in February, the board received a 311 complaint that Latin Palace would be hosting a boxing event, a form of live entertainment.

The memo from liquor inspector Karen Brooks, dated Feb. 20, states that she visited Latin Palace and told the licensee, Enrique Ribadeneira, that his license did not allow him to host this type of event, and if he did he would be in violation.

Brooks’ memo indicates that Ribadeneira told her the event was already promoted—and that it would proceed, regardless.

“I reiterated that he could not have the boxing match,” Brooks said in the memo.

Brooks attended the boxing event, which was hosted by the Baltimore Boxing Club and featured boxers from all over Maryland.

Latin Palace called to Liquor Board for hosting live entertainmentBY DANIELLE SWEENEY [email protected]

She said it attracted about 140 spectators.For that event, Ribadeneira was charged

with both an entertainment violation and not cooperating with the liquor inspector.

His attorney, John Pica, says that Ribadeneira is not in the wrong and is having live entertainment lawfully.

“He has the right to offer live entertainment per his zoning,” Pica says.

“There was never any hearing where restrictions were placed on Mr. Ribadeneira’s license. The Liquor Board could not find a date when the restrictions were put on it.”

Pica says that Ribadeneira has been in business for 17 years and has had few violations over that time, and that Latin Palace is an important institution in the Latino community.

The hearing is scheduled for March 27.

The group that wants to renovate Fell’s Point’s Recreation Pier into a “world-class, boutique, luxury hotel,” have added another community group’s support behind their plans, which would widen and improve the sidewalk on the water side of Thames St., from Ann St. to Broadway, rather than extend the waterfront Promenade out around the pier.

Last Wednesday, members of the Fell’s Point Residents Association voted strongly to support the proposal put forward by Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank’s development firm, Sagamore Development Company.

Association member Lew Diuguid said that the body voted to support the overall proposal, and explicitly expressed support for the company’s plan to forgo the Promenade. He said the association also stipulated that the city should not see this as a precedent, but should continue to enforce its development policy of a continuous Promenade from Canton to Federal Hill, except in this instance.

During the meeting, both Diuguid and his wife Kay Hogan noted that, historically, the 100-year-old building did not have a promenade around it.

“On its face, it would seem to me that to put a promenade around the building would destroy its historical background, because

Sagamore Develoment builds support for Recreation Pier renovation

there never was a promenade around it,” Diuguid said.

Todd Harvey, lead architect for the project, said that the National Park Service and the Maryland Historical Trust would likely argue against a promenade around the Rec Pier as well.

“We’re not sure we’d even be allowed to widen that pier, even if we were physically able to do it or it was feasible to do it,” he added.

“We’re talking years of modification and delay before we even start planning,” commented Steve Siegel of Sagamore Development.

First District City Councilman Jim Kraft, who attended the meeting, said that the best chance of getting the city to grant a variance on the Promenade requirement was to clearly show community support for the measure.

“The administration made it clear to me, when it was mentioned, that they wanted the Promenade around the Rec Pier,” Kraft said.

He added, however, that the Promenade rule is “all based on the insistence of the community,” that came out of charrettes and meetings held since 1999 to tackle the future of the Rec Pier as it sat unused and deteriorating after the end of its run as a set for “Homicide: Life on the Street.”


Having the Promenade wrap the outside of the pier is both infeasible and historically inaccurate, say developers. | Photo by Erik Zygmont

The Maryland State Department of Education recently recognized Upper Fell’s Point’s Wolfe Street Academy as a “Title I Highest Performing Reward School,” a designation, based on standardized test scores, that Principal Mark Gaither says has been long in the making.

“What it is is just really good education,” he said. “When you teach really good stuff, just throw any test at us, and I think our kids are going to do really well.”

Gaither added that this is now the ninth year that the pre-K-5 school has met “every standard the state has set for us,” and that 89 percent of its students are reading at or above grade level.

“I think at some level they are getting better at the state level in recognizing these things,” he said.

Latest state recognition a feather in the cap for Wolfe Street Academy

The most recent state recognition puts Wolfe Street Academy, located at Wolfe and Gough streets, among the top 18 Title I schools in the state, but Gaither elaborates on that.

“If you control for poverty and [students in the process of learning English], we are the top performing school in the state,” he said.

Wolfe Street Academy is one of three charter schools operated by Baltimore Curriculum Project, a nonprofit organization. The other two BCP-operated schools are City Springs Elementary, 100 S. Caroline St., and Hampstead Hill Academy, a pre-K-8 school at Linwood Ave. and Fleet St. Hampstead Hill Principal Matthew Hornbeck is Gaither’s brother.

Wolfe Street Academy—like the other two BCP-operated charter schools—departs somewhat from the traditional charter model in that, like a traditional public school,

it accepts every student from within the school’s zone.

“Our schools existed as traditional public schools before becoming charters,” said Larry Shugam, executive vice president and chief development officer for BCP.

Wolfe Street Academy was singled out in 2011 as an “80 and 80” school. Then-CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools Andres Alonso noted that 80 percent of the school’s students were rated as “proficient” or better in state exams, while the school had an 80 percent poverty rate. For the past two years, Wolfe Street Academy has been an “80/80/80” school. The third “80” represents the fact that the school has over 80 percent minority enrollment.

Gaither says that, somewhat ironically, the demographics of Wolfe Street Academy have become a little more representative of the surrounding neighborhood zone since the school became a charter. With the school’s improvement, Gaither has noticed that those with the means to send their kids elsewhere—either to a private school or different charter—have been less likely to do so. Some kids who left Wolfe Street Academy have even come back.

The push for Wolfe Street Academy to “go charter” began in 2005, when Gaither—who grew up in Baltimore, left, and returned to settle with his family—was the new principal.

“It was really the whole community doing it, but I really sort of led the charge,” he said.

The issue was the school’s curriculum—or

teaching methods and philosophy. When Gaither took over the school, which as a public school was called General Wolfe Elementary, it was—per BCPS policy—implementing Direct Instruction, a curriculum developed at the University of Oregon in the 1960s.

Gaither says that Direct Instruction was in use before his arrival. Once he started, though, “there was a re-dedication to implementing it correctly—with fidelity to the program,” he said.

Results were apparent, but the starting point had been low.

“We weren’t busting any finishing lines, but we were moving,” Gaither said.

Unfortunately, BCPS decided to move the school system on to a different curriculum.

“The only way we were going to have confidence that we could keep [Direct Instruction] was by going charter,” he said. “BCP was a natural fit because they were using Direct Instruction.”

Gaither says that that while his school enjoys certain freedoms unique to charters, he sees Wolfe Street Academy as a “Petri dish” and will only make changes that would be replicable in the public school system.

“If I felt what we’re doing as a charter school was in some way limiting the educational possibilities of a traditional school, then I wouldn’t want to be a charter,” he said. “Give us the same kids; give us the same rules. Let us do it the way we think it will help, and we will show you it works.”

Artist switches from landscapes to the Great BeyondBY ERIK [email protected]

Federal Hill’s American Visionary Art Museum is an apt place for the work of an artist who literally experienced a vision.

Or maybe he didn’t.“Vision is not the right word,” said Donald

Pass, according to a website dedicated to his work, donaldpass.com. “It was really like a veil had been lifted.”

In 1969 in a churchyard in Sussex, England, Pass, who had been a landscape painter, was looking at the grave of a Royal Air Force pilot when the world as he knew it faded away and he saw angels guiding souls as they rose from the Earth.

Throughout his life, Pass experienced other visions. He saw a luminous face expand to fill a room. As a child, he saw an angel with a lion’s face standing near a hedge. The vision in the churchyard, however, was Pass’s most vivid and extensive. The experience is now known as his vision of the Resurrection, the inspiration for his most famous works.

Since Feb. 28, AVAM, 800 Key Highway, has been displaying a selection of those works in “The Hope We Seek,” an exhibit that will

run through Feb. 22 of next year. Pass’s work appears to have Judeo-

Christian implications, though neither the exhibit itself nor Pass’s quotes as found online explicitly mention it.

Pass—a normal guy who navigated times of relative plenty and lack; marriage, father-hood, a divorce and a second marriage—did say this, however:

“I believe that every one being, that every creature on Earth, is held in compassion by God, and I believe God is the center of com-passion. This is the one thing that came through all this. It’s the one thing I felt all the way through this, is this overwhelming sense of compassion.”

The above quote and others—by Pass him-self, his admirers including Pete Townshend, as well as similarly-disposed artists such as William Blake—are posted in the exhibit among the artist’s works, lending context to the otherworldly images of airy yet substan-tive beings shepherding multitudes of unadorned humans to destinations unknown.

The exhibit was curated by AVAM founder and director Rebecca Alban Hoffberger.

Pass’s depictions are both detailed and sug-

gestive. Swirling, misty lines suggest shape and motion, and then converge to form the detail of a face.

The angels are gigantic, beautiful and powerful-looking; the humans are small, many and undistinguished. There’s no telling who, in life, might have been a CEO or Orioles slugger or newspaper reporter or pan-handler who stood on the median of President St. They all tend to be either covering their faces with their hands or reaching out to the heavenly beings as a toddler to a parent.

The exhibit—and most of Pass’s work—tends to focus on the positive implications of his vision.

Said Pete Townshend:“It gives me faith that the acceptance of

unsolicited faith through artistic function can—apparently—come with so few fundamentalist strings attached.”

Indeed, benevolence seems to be the hallmark of Pass’s depictions. Darkness, however, is not wholly absent. Pass mentioned that he saw “winged shapes” on the horizon that were dark and possibly “threatening,” though he admitted that their purpose remained unclear to him.

In his 2000 piece entitled “Division of Souls,” a crowd bathed in light is being funneled one way while a darker group is taken in another direction.

“I see what’s going on here,” thinks anyone who has been to church once or twice.

However, there’s something in Pass’s work that discourages definitive conclusions. Maybe it comes from the fact that—ostensibly at least—his pieces depict something he actually witnessed and experienced, rather than what he simply believed or felt compelled to believe.

“I heard about his vision in the churchyard, and I found it easy to believe that the scenes depicted in his paintings came from a real experience,” writes Rich Shapero, an author, musician and collector who collaborated with AVAM for the exhibit. “They are that vivid—that impactful.”

Visitors to the exhibit receive a free copy of Shapero’s novel, “The Hope We Seek,” for which the exhibit was named, as well as a CD of Shapero’s music, “Songs from the Big Wheel,” with vocals by Marissa Nadler. Both are accompanied by Pass’s artwork.

Nick Prevas, director of communications for AVAM, lauded Shapero for his commitment to maintaining public access to art, a trait not shared by all private collectors.

“He photographs all the work and makes it available for all to see,” said Prevas. “He believes in open-source—free. We appreciate it of course.”

Opened in 1995, AVAM is a three-building museum on 1.1 acres that showcases the works of unconventional, untrained and, in some cases, unintentional artists.

“We’re not expecting somebody to make art that’s predictable in some sense,” said Prevas.

“4 by Chekhov,” a quartet of short, one-act plays showing through Sunday, April 6, brings timeless comedy to the Fell’s Point Corner Theatre.

The generic “married man” is both the butt of most of the jokes and the target audience who will find the most humor in Russian writer Anton Chekhov’s not-oppressively-dark sketches of domestic life, translated by Paul Schmidt and directed by Howard Berkowitz.

Chekhov was a playwright in 17th Century Russia, but his tales have no age.

“Don’t ask questions; don’t ask for any details,” implores the disheveled Tolkachov as he bursts into the home of his female friend, Murashkina, in “The Reluctant Tragic Hero.”

“Just be a friend and give me a gun!”It turns out that the domestic demands put

on Tolkachov by his wife—who we never

see—are simply too much when added on top of the slack he picks up at his business thanks to an incompetent staff (who show up hungover and exhausted from frivolous nightlife commitments including amateur theatre).

Layer on that that the poor man must then undertake all manner of tedious, time-con-suming “errands,” including going to the dress shop and telling the tailor “in no uncer-tain terms that the blouse is too big, except for the shoulders, which are too small,” and Tolkachov nearly acts on that desire that sometimes tugs at family men, to go out into the middle of woods for awhile, hence the need for a gun.

His true intentions for the weapon, how-ever, are not fully revealed. At one point, the protagonist laments that he is a man “without the brains to blow his brains out.”

Ishai Barnoy energetically portrays Tolkachov as a man overcome by nerves and on the verge of cracking, who nevertheless

carries on. Barnoy’s performance is excel-lent; his facial expressions, the register of his voice, and his physical acting style create a whiny yet lovable character with whom most can empathize.

Tolkachov proclaims that suffering is understandable when it’s for ideals and prin-cipals.

“But to suffer for ladies dresses and light-bulbs?! No! No. A thousand times, no.”

Alisa Padon plays his female friend and confidant with aplomb, inserting expressive and understated gestures and facial expres-sion during Tolkachov’s monopolization of the conversation.

Also impressive is Valerie Dowdle, who plays servant girl Luka in “The Bear.” Her simple, extremely well-delivered line at the end of the last play is the perfect cap to the four comedies.

In “The Dangers of Tobacco,” Mike Zemarel plays a man lecturing an audience on the bidding of his wife. Initially nervous

like Porky Pig reciting “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,” Zemarel’s character moves through stages of anger, outright fear, and finally defeat. He mentions tobacco little.

One theme running through the four plays is that while life may be hell for the charac-ters, it’s hilarious to the audience. At last Saturday’s showing, the audience laughed audibly throughout the play. While last month’s “Tales of Ordinary Madness,” also at the Fell’s Point Corner Theatre, was billed as a “Seinfeld” in Prague, “4 by Chekhov” calls to mind the sitcom, too. We see what would’ve happened had George actually married Susan.

“4 by Chekhov” plays on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at the Fell’s Point Corner Theatre, 251 S. Ann St. For more information, visit fpct.org.

ask the councilman himself to support the phaseout. Snidal has said that though there are few nonconforming liquor stores in the 1st District (there are three), Kraft’s support is critical for getting the liquor phaseout through City Council.

Kraft noted that the zoning rewrite contains much more than that.

“This stuff that we’re talking about is like two pages in this bill,” he said. “We’re probably gong to get to that sometime this summer.”

Kraft said that he didn’t expect the City Council to make a decision on the rewrite—which will be full of amendments—until “sometime into next year.”

He said that given that delay, he had spoken to both the Health Department and Code Enforcement.

“We said, ‘You all know that, regardless of what we do, it will not happen until sometime in 2015—in the meantime, why don’t you go out and crack down on these guys?’” Kraft said.

“I don’t know why, and I’m not going to point a finger to anybody, but it’s just not happening.”

Kraft said that the agencies that would be responsible for enforcing a zoning-driven liquor phaseout are currently strapped.

“We [in Southeast Baltimore] call for code enforcement more than anybody; we call for zoning enforcement more than anybody,” he said. “We don’t get it. There aren’t enough inspectors.”

“The zoning administrator can’t handle what the zoning administrator has to handle today,” he added.

Kraft acknowledged that the zoning rewrite’s liquor portion “is a separate tool.” The councilman added that it will “make a difference” when all the nonconforming liquor stores are gone.

But in the meantime, he added, such stores are changing their zoning.

“What sense does it make to write a law to accomplish this when everyone is just going to go out and rezone the property?” Kraft said.

LIQUOR: Councilman says stores are changing their zoning


ASSAULT: Suspects looked to be between 14 and 16

struck in the mouth by her and another female.

At that point, a resident heard the commotion outside and opened the door to see what was happening.

One of the female suspects told the resident:“What the [expletive] you doing? Get back inside your house,” the report states.

It goes on to say that the resident made a comment regarding her child—ostensibly about the noise disturbing it—and the suspect said: “I don’t give a [expletive] about your baby.”

The resident called the police, who arrived at around 3:57 p.m. Earlier, at about 3:17 p.m., police had responded to a call regarding a “juvenile disturbance” at Highland Ave. and Dillon St., but did not see any juveniles in the area or anything out of the ordinary at that time, according to the report.

Paramedics arrived and treated the victim for a laceration to her lip.

A description of the suspects, who are all approximately 14-16 years of age, was broadcast, but police were not able to locate them.

They dispersed from the scene and were

last seen traveling westbound on Dillon St., according to the victim.

Becky Edwards, a Canton resident who shared the incident on Facebook, says the victim was her housekeeper.

“She’s a sweet, hardworking woman who depends on that income and now she is afraid,” Edwards, a former school teacher, says.

Edwards says she sees groups of teens in the neighborhood behaving badly pretty frequently.

“It makes me sick. I feel threatened by them. You’ll be walking by them with your stroller and they’ll be using foul language, flinging their book bags, and being aggressive,” she says. “It’s very disconcerting.”

Edwards says this kind of behavior is a “sad indicator of the bigger issues our city has.”

She believes the behavior comes from a lack of positive role models and says vigilance is part of the solution—but so is supporting mentoring and volunteering with youth.

“The bottom line is these kids are still kids,” she says.



PIER: Community support needed to convince mayor on Promenade

So, Kraft said, the community groups in the area need to notify the city that they support the project and explicitly support a compromise on the Promenade in this case.

With that support, he added, “I will go back to the mayor and say, ‘I think you need to put the Promenade issue to bed.”

“I don’t know if that’s going to turn it, but it’s going to turn it as far as we’re concerned,” the councilman said. “The [Promenade] requirement started in the community anyway.”

The Sagamore Development Company now has the support of two community organizations—Fell’s Point Main Street and the Fell’s Point Residents Association—for its proposal. The developers sought the support of a third, the Fell’s Point Community Organization, last night, after press time.

Mike Maraziti, president of Fell’s Point Main Street, urged the community to support the proposal.

“That’s the last piece of this entire neighborhood that needs to be worked on,” he said. “It’s going to look a lot better than people sleeping on those steps and rodents running around.”

Hudson Street Stackhouse

Dominic DeSantis combined his love of Belgian beer and ice hockey to create the perfect neighborhood bar, Hudson Street Stackhouse.

It’s a neighborhood bar with a huge draft list, and sometimes a hockey game breaks out. The Hudson Street Stackhouse—hidden among rowhomes near Hudson Street’s intersection with Lakewood Ave.—is a testament to owner Dominic DeSantis’s ability to take his own interests and create something for the whole neighborhood.“I started this place from scratch, exactly how I wanted it,” says DeSantis, a Belgian beer fan and a lifelong hockey player. “I just like being around here; I like coming to work everyday. I’m always on my feet and always running around. It’s a nice mix of using your brain, if you will, and your back.”The Stackhouse features about a dozen Belgian brews on tap at all times. “I’ll always have a Belgian tripel, a Belgian wit, a Flemish red ale...It’s good beer, to put it simply,” explains DeSantis. American craft brews and other imports round out the draft list, which is gaining notoriety.“We do get some people who come here from out of town for the beer selection,” DeSantis says,

adding that he tries to keep a large portion of the ever-changing selection in the $5 range.“You can come in here with 20 bucks, and have a burger and a few beers,” he says.During happy hour—Mon.-Fri. before 7 p.m., Sat. before 5 p.m.—drafts are $2 off. The Stackhouse also features specials throughout the week—burgers are $5 on Tues.; Thursday is New York strip, two sides and dessert for $14.99, etc.Whatever day of the week, Stackhouse has a “chill” crowd, DeSantis says.“You see all kinds in here—people in their 20s and 30s, and they’ll bring their parents in here when they’re in town,” he says. “I’ve never had to have a bouncer or a doorman—not that I’m saying I would never get one.” In the meantime, the Hudson Street Stackhouse has found its niche.“I’ve had a lot of people come in here that aren’t necessarily beer drinkers,” says DeSantis, “but because they keep coming here, they’ll try new beer—good beer.”

Hey – We’re actually looking pretty good

BIRDS HOUSE

Don’t look now, but the O’s are 8-2 in Spring Training games and have been look-ing pretty impressive.

Okay, so I know it’s only Spring Training, but after the winter we’ve had and the Ravens season ending earlier than we all had hoped, it’s a nice sight to see, no matter how unimportant some of these games might be.

One player who has gotten off to a hot start—and needs to continue to be hot the whole year—is Nick Markakis. So far, Markakis is batting .667 with four doubles in 16 at-bats. One area he failed in last year was extra base hits, and so far this spring, he has a slugging percentage of 1.000.

Chris Davis is out to prove that his 2013 season was no fluke, and so far he is making us all believers. This spring, Davis is batting .533 with two home runs and seven runs bat-ted in, right on the heels of his 53 HR season.

One other offensive bright spot is Jonathan Schoop. The 22-year-old second baseman is also batting .533 with a home run and four RBI. It would seem he might be in the mix to start at second base with Brian Roberts, now in New York.

On the other side of the ball, lefty Zach

Britton has been pitching well as he shoots for a spot in the rotation. So far in six innings of work, Britton is sporting a 1.50 earned run average with five strikeouts against only two walks.

Starting his first full season with the O’s, Bud Norris has yet to allow a run in five innings and has struck out six batters and walked only one while allowing only three hits.

Newly acquired Ubaldo Jimenez was out-standing in his first bit of work with Baltimore. Jimenez struck out three and walked none in two innings without allowing a hit.

This year is going to be tough, perhaps tougher than the past few seasons. The reign-ing World Series Champion Boston Red Sox are looking tough as usual; the New York Yankees have rebuilt their team after their offseason spending spree; the Tampa Bay Rays are always strong; and the Toronto Blue Jays are no pushovers. As usual, the Orioles will need contributions from everyone to have a shot at making the playoffs this year, but one noticeable difference this year is that they seem to have the pieces of the puzzle to make it happen.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
