Baltimore Guide - May 20, 2105

BALTIMORE GUIDE 1WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 20145

The Southeast police district has had a busy couple of weeks. Once the shock of protests and riots died down, the district was stricken with an outbreak of shootings, some of which resulted in homicides.

Major Deron Garrity was, and remains, in direct center of the action. He flew one of the helicopters during the riots and looting throughout the city on Monday, April 27.

“It was something I’ve never seen in my career and it’s something I hope I never see again. It was bad,” said Garrity about the experience. He spent over 20 hours in the air over three days. He said that having the helicopters, however disruptive and noisy they may have been to residents, were important to supplementing the patrols. It allowed them a larger view which let them see what was happening blocks away so they knew where to direct traffic flow.

He said a lot of the anti-police sentiment

2 BALTIMORE GUIDE WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2015

The Patterson Park Neighborhood Association met on Monday, May 11 at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church to provide updates on spring events and other community issues.

First on the agenda was an announcement enforcement on housing code will begin. According to Councilman Jim Kraft, flyers of the code will given out which states that each violation of the code will result in at least a $50 fine. Some of these violations include having a trash can without a lid, high weeds or grass, and excessive littering and trash build-up. Any one with tips on those who are not obeying the code are encouraged to call 311.

Following this, Delegates Brooke Lierman, Pete Hammen and Senator Bill Ferguson discussed what happened in Annapolis at their senate meetings.

Lierman said that they passed a balanced city budget with $11 million dollars going to Baltimore City Public Schools. She said that Governor Hogan has not yet approved the updated budget. Another bill that wasn’t passed was a Community Clean-Up and Greening Act. The act “prohibits most retailers from distributing plastic bags at checkout, with exceptions for meats, produce, and limited other items. Retailers would charge 10 cents for each paper bag requested by the consumer,” according to Lierman.

Lierman also said that during the session she pushed for a board of planning and oversight for the MTA. She is working on establishing a working group.

Delegate Hammen’s Recreational Vessel bill, which would eliminate the rule that you need a bay pilot to be on a boat within the harbor, was passed, as well as approval to build stabilization centers in the city.

A stabilization center is “a center for medical care, mental health care, case management, etc. for at-risk individuals with drug, alcohol, or mental health issues. Police or other 1st responders could take these people there instead of to Central Booking or to an ER,” explained Hammen. The project will recieve $3.6 million dollars in funding. Hammen said that the centers would save a lot of money and reduce the amount of “catch and release” that troubled people go through with medical care.

Neighborhood News: Patterson Park

Senator Ferguson said that his Youth Works program, which encourages local businesses to hire and train a young adult, would be doubling in size over the next five weeks. He called for the association to spread the word and reach out for volunteers. Any one interested should contact Ferguson’s office to get involved. He also introduced a bill that would make more socio-economically diverse public schools by mixing Baltimore City and Baltimore County students. It didn’t pass this session, but Ferguson said he will keep pushing forward with it.

An official date for the next Patterson Master Plan meeting has been set. It will take place on Wednesday, June 24, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Patterson Park Public Charter School. This will be the last public meeting where aspects of the plan can be changed.

The Friends of Patterson Park are hosting a wine-tasting and silent auction fundraiser on Thursday, May 21 at Patterson Park around the pagoda. Tickets are available at www.pattersonpark.com.

For anybody struggling with rats in your trash, a representative for the company The Compost Crew offered a solution. The Crew will give you a composting bin for your garbage and then do door-to-door pick-up. Every 6 months you’ll be delivered a bag of composted fertilizer that you helped create. For more information or to sign up www.compostcrew.com/pattersonpark or email [email protected].

Phil Mendenbach, the Sanitation chair of the Patterson Park Neighbors, said the next block clean-up will be on Saturday, June 6. It will focus on the alleys between Baltimore and East Sts. The dumpster will be on East St. If you participate in the clean-up, you could be eligible for a rain tax or stormwater credit.

On the topic of clean ups, Kim Wiggins of the Greening committee announced the official date Patterson Park’s Annual Home and garden tour which is Saturday, June 13. Wiggins is still looking for houses to show, especially those between Milton and Linwood Avenues.

Email Kim at coordinator@pattersonpark neighbors.org to volunteer to help run the tour, volunteer your house for the tour, or suggest someone else’s house for the tour.

resolve. Among the many lessons we learned is that Baltimore needs more ways to connect our citizens with more jobsand more opportunities, and the Red Line does exactly that,” said Rawlings-Blake at City Hall.

The press conference at City Hall drew over a hundred people that wanted to rally support.

“The Red Line has enormous potential to spur the reuse and rehabilitation of historic buildings, create new jobs and shape a brighter future for the residents of Baltimore’s historic neighborhoods,” said the Baltimore Heritage in a statement.

Rawlings-Blake called the Red Line a “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to improve life for Baltimore citizens. She then called for the same support for Governor Larry Hogan.

Hogan has previously commented on the high price tag of the Red Line, estimated around $3 billion dollars, and whether or not the city could afford this. A spokesperson for the governor said that they are currently reviewing the project.

“The only thing standing in the way of the progress of the red line is the support that we need from the state. We cannot let this opportunity slip by,” said the mayor.

The other main speaker was representative Elijah Cumming. He said that Baltimore city has committed $230 million, Baltimore county has committed $900 million and the federal government would give $900 million.

“If the governor would merely sign on, we would get $100 million this year and $900 million over the course of the project,” said Cumming.

Cumming said that if action wasn’t taken soon, then it could be years before any progress and development is made.

The Red Line would be a 14 mile, 19 stop, transit line starting at the Woodlawn neighborhood of Baltimore County, through West Baltimore, the Inner Harbor, through southeast, and ending at Johns Hopkins

Governor Hogan is expected to announce the future of the Red Line by the endof June.

Residents and DOT rally to bring Red Line to Baltimore

The Baltimore City Department of Transportation and Baltimore Heritage organized a Baltimore Red Line Summit at Patterson Park on Friday, May 15 to show their support for bringing the Red line tothe city.

Delegate Brooke Lierman of the 26th district spoke, calling the Red a “unifying force” which will connect the west and east sides of Baltimore.

“We all need to get to work, we all need to get home to see our kids, and we all need to be able to go out on the weekends to local businesses and live our lives. We need a better way to do all those things in Baltimore City and the Red Line is a first steps,” she said.

She said that the city wants to bring 10,000 families to Baltimore, but not their 10,000 cars. She also said that commuting time has emerged as the strongest factor for escaping poverty as a reason why public transportation is important.

Fleming El-Amin, the DOT Red Line Project Manager, said the Red Line has been in development for around seven years.

Chris Ryer of the Southeast CDC also voiced his endorsement.

“We have seen the Red Line as a revitalization tool for Southeast Baltimore and also a way of knitting neighborhoods together, neighborhoods that are now split with rail and industrial quarters, for the 21st century as opposed to the 20th,” said Ryer who mentioned how Southeast is in gridlock during rush hour due to high traffic volume.

“Transit saves, transit connects, transit is economic development, and transit it needed,” said Dru Schmidt-Perkins of 1000 Friends of Maryland. “

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced her support for a Red Line system in Baltimore earlier this week at press conference on Tuesday, May 12 at City Hall.

The mayor said her support was based on the employment opportunities the Red Line would bring, as well as providing a more efficient form of public transportation.

“Let’s not beat around the bush. We know that the last few weeks have challenged our city’s resiliency, but it also has shown our

Exploring the effectsof war with

‘Last of the Boys’BY GIANNA DECARLO [email protected]

Last of the Boys, playing at the Fells Point Corner Theatre at 251 S Ann Street, is a play that delves into the lives of two best friends and Vietnam veterans decades after they were forever changed by the devastation of the war.

The relationship of the two men is strained as both try to forget about the traumatic experience and save their friendship. Ben, played by Mark Squirek, is living alone in a trailer park that has long been abandoned by his neighbors. This solitude only pushes him further into his self-inflicted isolation and internal battles. Jeeter, played by Tony Colavito, is eccentric and sucked into new-age philosophy and fills his time with Rolling Stones concerts and meaningless hookups. Jeeter just returned from Ben’s father’s funeral, which Ben missed, with mementos such as the American flag draped over the coffin.

Squirek is subtle in showing Ben’s torment, but in the aching moments of silence, we can see through expression and body language alone, how fundamentally lost the character is. Often times the moments are punctuated with the sound of gunfire or helicopters, placing the audience in his position. Squirek’s interactions with Colavito are done spectacularly, with glimpses into what their friendship was like before they were burdened with the experiences of war.

Jeeter’s woman-of-the-month is Salyer played by Casey Dutt, an angsty younger woman with an interest in the war due to a mysterious father figure that died while in the service. Sal’s mother Lorraine, played by a wonderfully stressed-out and mourning Katherine Lyons, eventually winds up at Ben’s trailer looking for her wayward daughter.

A turning point in the play has Sal, in the midst of a fight with Jeeter, mocking his obsessive nature, saying he is “always stuck on something”. This represents the stagnancy of Ben and Jeeter.

Ben throughout the show also struggles with mixed feelings about the war, part of him feels like a hero while the other part feels like a monster. Sal and Lorraine are still grief-stricken over the loss of a man the loved or never knew.

“They’re all sick. All four characters are

suffering so deeply, there’s such pain,” said director of Last of the Boys, Barry Feinstein.

Feinstein himself is a veteran of the time, being drafted to Okinawa in the 60s.

“I was drafted and like the characters say, when you get that letter a fog just comes over you,” he said, referencing a recurring theme of fog and the unknown in the play.

When discussing the challenges in directing such complex characters, Feinstein was interrupted by Squirek who said “He’s steering an extremely large ship and we didn’t hit an iceberg. I’m an extremely lucky man, thank you Barry.”

Feinstein says that PTSD was a common problem in veterans, who were often villianized by the community when they returned home. This shift in the society from unwavering support, to vehement hatred of the soldiers naturally affected their acclimation back into reality.

He said that as 40th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, which marked the end of the Vietnam war, is remembered, it’s important that we remember those that were at the front line because their pain remains once they’re off the battlefield.

For example, Ben deals with his pain by embodying the spirit of Robert McNamara, the Secretary of Defense who sent the boys to war. As McNamara, Ben is haunted by the ghost of a young soldier.

Sal is the only other one who can see the ghost of the soldier.

“Do you believe in ghosts, Ben?,” she asks at one point, “Yeah, me neither. But they keep turning up now, don’t they?”

Lorraine has her daughter’s attitude paired with a lingering bitterness over the war who took the love of her life from her. Her breakdown is made all the more tragic when Sal begs her to see the ghost to no avail.

The explosive climax has the four characters getting drunk and releasing the tension that has been building up since Jeeter and Ben reunited. Secrets and lies are revealed, opening wounds and exposing how inescapable PTSD has plagued these men and potentially ruining their friendship forever.

Last of the Boys opened on May 15 and will play until June 7. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit. www.fpct.org.

GARRITY: Support from Southeast

expressed during this time has weighed heavily on the department.

“I’m doing fine, I’m more concerned about the officers and how they’re doing. A lot of police take things to heart. They need to realize this is a business and things are going to happen outside of out control and we can’t take it personally.”

Garrity said that officers get tunnel-vision when they only see the negative public reaction. However, he said that most of the negativity and distrust was confined to the west-side and support for the police has come pouring in from the Southeast.

And a lot of this support has been delicious.“I hope this never happens again because of

the amount of food that the public brought us, we had a tremendous amount of people bringing up food, water , drinks, and specialties dishes from the Greek and Hispanic community, I mean, you name it, we had it,” Garrity said of all the refreshments that have come in.

He said that the recreation room where they stored the food was packed, “we had food up to here!” he said, gesturing to shoulder-height. On a door in the rec room is a collage of letters of support and thanks from residents.

“It’s physically impossible to thank the community enough.”

Diana Pons is a Highlandtown resident who helped assemble these gifts, along with Crissy Suit.

“The whole thing was for the police to know that we have their back and that we support them regardless of what is happening In any type of a career, there’s always a few people that are bad apples, and the news only focuses on that, so I want them to know that even when all this craziness is going on, the

community is supporting them,” said Pons.Pons and Suit spread the work through

social media and Pons called the turn out “unbelievable”. She said the generosity of neighbors was good encouragement for the officers.

“You should’ve seen the smiles on their faces,” she said, “They really are a good group of people.”

This isn’t the first time Southeast has given back to the police district. A few years ago, their station underwent an extreme renovations due to donations for local businesses, politicians, and residents. Garrity excitedly talks about their outside pavilion with flat-screen TVs and grilles. On Sunday, May 17, the community hosted a cook-out on the pavilion for the officers.

Bikejam was put on by The Gathering Baltimore and hosted over 20 races with riders from all over the state. | Photo by Gianna DeCarlo

Bike Jammin’Patterson Park hosted Bikejam, a

gathering of over 1200 cycling enthusiasts, on Sunday, May 17. Over 20 bike races were held throughout the event with riders ranging in ages from under 9 years old to over 45. Some of these races, like the The Kelly Cup Pro Race, were high-caliber, professional level races. Other less strenuous trails were available for the more leisurely rider, like the The Lolly Pop Ride which is a 12 mile ride through Druid Hill Park, the farmer’s market, and community gardens. Bikejam was created by the Gathering and sanctioned by the U.S. Cycling Federation to celebrate the cycling community and get others involved in this healthy and fun sport.

Food trucks, such as The Ice Cream Experiment which made instant ice cream in front of you, provided food and drink specials to fuel the riders and bystanders.

Live music was provided by the Orchester Prazevica Rufus Roundtree and Da B’More Brass Factory.

Mike Wright | Photo courtesy of the Baltimore Orioles.

On Sunday, Wright pitched in his Major-League debut against the Los Angeles Angels and gave up only four hits in 7 1/3 innings while striking out six and walking none en route to a Baltimore 3-0 victory.

The 25 year old was called up with Bud Norris and Chris Tillman each dealing with their own health issues and Wright was up to the task.

In case you haven’t heard of Wright before, you might not be alone. When you think of some of the minor league pitchers in the Orioles farm system, you normally might think of Dylan Bundy or Hunter Harvey, but Wright came through for the O’s in a big way Sunday.

Wright was drafted by Baltimore in the third round of the 2011 Draft and has been in the minors ever since. He pitched very well in 2013 while in AA Bowie where he posted an 11-3 record with a 3.26 ERA before making his first start in AAA Norfolk where he picked up a no-decision in 6 2/3 innings of shutout ball.

After a season like that, one might think he would pick up in 2014 where he left off in 2013, however that was not the

case. 2014 saw Wright spend all season in AAA Norfolk where he went 5-11 with a 4.62 ERA in 26 starts however the big right hander has turned that around this year. In six starts at AAA this year, Wright has gone 3-0 with a 2.64 ERA. His WHIP has been equally as impressive at 1.109 and his 30 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings pitched is the best ratio of his career.

Monday, the Orioles officially placed Bud Norris on the Disabled List due to bronchitis, and in turn promoted Tyler Wilson from AAA Norfolk to the O’s. Along with that news, Chris Tillman has been dealing with back stiffness and an illness. His numbers this year are looking pretty rough as he has posted a record of 2-5 with a 6.34 ERA, so it will look like Wright has his opportunity to make a name for himself over the next week or so.

If he can continue to do what he did on Sunday the rest of the way, there is no reason to keep him off the Baltimore roster. Even if he can duplicate his AAA numbers in Baltimore, that would still be a great thing and would give the Orioles much needed pitching depth.

Here’s to hoping Wright keeps this up!

Welcome to the Big Leagues, Mike Wright!

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.”

St. to the east, Fairmount Ave. to the south, with Haven St. as the nearest western street boundary. It has a basketball court, playground equipment and an open field where Gentry says three generations of her family played.“I thought the meeting was about fixing the park up,” she says. “Not taking it away.”

Janney Street Park has no obvious signage indicating that it is a city park, save for a weathered rusty sign hanging from the park’s chain-linked fence with the acronym POS—indicating that the park is or was affiliated with Program Open Space, a program that conserves natural

Cathy Gentry didn’t think that neighborhood parks could disappear, but she may find out otherwise.Last November she and some of her Janney St.-area neighbors attended a meeting of the city and the Baltimore Development Corporation informing them that the nearby Pompeian Olive Oil Company was interested in expanding and would like to buy Janney Street Park from the city—and the city was considering selling it to them.

The station also has a state-of-the-art gym and a complete kitchen and other comforts, like a washing machine and roomy lockers thanks to donations.

“We’re civil servants, we serve the public. the public doesn’t owe us anything,” he said of recent support, “It’s a shame we had to get this point for people to come forward, but I mean, it’s a good thing out of such a bad thing.”

Garrity explained that the uptick in violence in the area was due to the lack of resources. Many officers in Southeast were deployed to west Baltimore leading to a lack of officers on street. He is referencing the extreme increase in shootings across the city, over 9 a day. He said criminal are taking advantage of the decreased police presence.

He brought up the case of Mr. Joe, who was killed outside his market and deli on Highland Avenue, calling the suspects “cowards”. He did say that there are several leads on the case and that it is moving forward. Anyone with information is still urged to call the Homicide Unit at 410-396-2100.

Despite the shootings, Garrity said that burglaries are down and that crime is starting to settle back to normal as police return from

the west. He points to a map in his office that’s covered in thumbtacks that represent a crime and where it occurred. He uses this visual to find patterns in crime and to determine where to send patrols.

On Saturday, June 20, the Southeast police district will host a Partnership Family Day at Patterson Park which will host the annual police vs. community softball game. Garrity said that the event was planned long before the events of the past weeks and couldn’t have come at a better time.

What sets Practical Pet Protocol training classes apart from the rest in Baltimore?

We keep you in control, teaching you how to deliver commands such as sit, down, come, stay, heel, and place.

We expose your dog to real-world distractions during the training process, ensuring the training is solid and reliable. After all, these new behaviors need to stick even after the group sessions have ended.

We’ll teach you a time-tested approach that will enable you to ad-dress any behavioral relapses or new behavior problems before they get out of hand, without needing to call on a trainer.

We address not only the elements needed for basic obedience, but also the elements needed for a basic, functional relationship with your dog. We show you how to develop a bond of mutual trust and respect that will allow you to keep a positive influence on your dog’s behav-ior.

You will receive a 40+ page booklet and free access to our mobile app to make your independent practice with your pet easier and more effective.
