Baltimore retailers were right all along,” Santoni stated. The release specifically calls out Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake,

stating that she “has refused to listen to small business leaders.”“She is stubborn and will not admit that the beverage tax was a wrong

decision on her part...What has taken 83 years to build has been torn down by one person and one bad law. The Mayor’s political arrogance is appalling.”

On Sunday evening, Rawlings-Blake released her own statement.“I am deeply saddened to learn Santoni’s Supermarket will be closing,”

she stated. “Linking its closure to the bottle tax may be a good sound bite,

Santoni’s Super Market, a major southeast Baltimore landmark since the 1930s, will close its doors this month and lay off over 80 employees.

Rob Santoni Jr., head of finance and accounting for the store, places blame on the city’s bottle tax. In a statement released on Sunday, Oct. 13, Santoni said that the family-owned grocery store at 3800 E. Lombard St. has lost more than $4 million—or 18 percent—in total store sales since the bottle tax went into effect in July 2010. Looking at beverage sales only, the store has seen a 28-percent sales decrease, Santoni added. He goes on to state that the store has lost 20 percent of its customer traffic.

Great news for Patterson Park-area residents: it will soon be a lot harder to drive illegally in East Baltimore’s favorite backyard.

The Friends of Patterson Park and the city are purchasing gates to block vehicular traffic at two key access points—Luzerne Ave. and Baltimore St. near the Rec Center, and at Linwood Ave., south of the dog park.

“Those are the two most common access points for vehicles,” says Jennifer Arndt Robinson, executive director of the Friends of Patterson Park.

The gates will cost between $10,000 and $15,000,” Arndt-Robinson says, the cost to be shared between the city and the Friends, who obtained a grant from the Abell Foundation.

Cars driving in the park, legally and otherwise, has been a concern of the community for some time, especially when cars and people are using the same paths, Arndt-Robinson notes.

The decision to buy gates grew out of meetings of the Patterson Park Working Group.

“We heard increasing concerns from the community regarding speed and safety. Cars

can feel threatening. We knew we needed to control cars coming in, both those that had a reason to be there and those that didn’t,” Arndt-Robinson says.

The gates will be installed as soon as possible.

“Ideally, they will be keypad access gates. That way, drivers with permits—motorists who are allowed in the park are supposed to have permits, such as someone who rents the picnic pavilion—will be given a temporary access code.”

The Friends are also working with the city to install new signage in Patterson Park, so drivers are better informed about park rules regarding vehicles.

“The signs will inform drivers of the speed limit—15 mph—and help keep cars on the asphalt and off the brick,“ she says. “In this way, violators can’t claim they didn’t know.”

The signs will likely be installed around the same time as the gates, she says.

“The Friends currently don’t have an installation date for the gates or the signage,” says Arndt-Robinson. “But we’re hoping for the fall. This needs to be a visible outcome of the Patterson Park Working Group. Cars in Patterson Park have been a problem for the community for a long time.”

Will gates keep cars out of Patterson Park?

On Saturday, Oct. 5, residents turned in their trash and got cash.

Baltimore Trash Talk, an initiative launched by Fell’s Prospect resident Bridget Parlato in response to the Southeast’s trash problem, held a 5-cent bottle exchange event in Patterson Park. Through a grant from Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, residents received 5 cents for each plastic or glass bottle, or aluminum can, that they turned in.

Parlato reported that Baltimore Trash Talk collected 15,586 bottles and cans.

“Most of the stuff—a huge portion—came in the first few hours because it was first-come first-serve, and there was money to be had,” she said.

The exchange also included an art project, in which participants put the empty containers in a stream form through the park, to illustrate the connection between litter and the Chesapeake Bay. The pop-up art project included paper fish hand-made by Parlato herself.

With grant money left over, Baltimore Trash Talk and the Fell’s Prospect Community Association are planning another 5-cent exchange for April 2014.

Group seeks support for liquor phase-out

The Fell’s Prospect Community Association is not ready to support the Citizens Planning and Housing Association in phasing out liquor stores located in residential zones, at least not until CPHA returns with a presentation outlining its position.

The organization had presented to Fell’s Prospect in September, but it was a different group of residents—some of whom hadn’t seen the presentation—at last Thursday’s meeting, when the association was scheduled to decide on whether to write a letter supporting CPHA’s push in favor of the proposed liquor legislation.

Resident Lisa Walden requested that those opposed to the legislation also have an opportunity to present to Fell’s Prospect.

“Is there an organized presentation by those who don’t support this?” asked resident Lisa Walden. “This seems a little one-sided.”

FPCA President Victor Corbin replied that he would try to find a representative from the opposition. Two short presentations—one from CPHA and one from the opposition—are scheduled for the association’s November meeting.

Michael Snidal of CPHA said that his organization has received a very large volume of support from City Councilman Warren Branch’s District 14, just north of Councilman Jim Kraft’s District 1.

“Literally every major community organization in Branch’s district has sent us a letter of support,” said Snidal, adding that Branch’s district is “just saturated in alcohol outlets.”

While Kraft’s district has fewer than five liquor stores that don’t conform to zoning rules, Snidal said that the district’s support is nevertheless critical.

“We need support from areas that understand that this is a citywide issue, and their councilman needs to support it,” Snidal said.

So far in the Southeast, CPHA has received a letter of support from the Canton Community Association, Snidal said. The letter, addressed to Kraft, supports both the phasing out of non-conforming liquor stores and the proposed requirement that BD-7 licensees, also known as “taverns,” devote 50-percent of floor space to on-premises consumption.

“They may technically be legal uses, but like pay-day lenders, they prey off the most vulnerable in the City, and thereby pose a significant obstacle to curtailing crime and drug use, which affects all of us,” reads the letter, signed by Canton Community Association President Darryl Jurkiewicz.

At the Fell’s Prospect meeting, Kristyn Oldendorf, Kraft’s chief of staff, said that a City Council vote on the issue will very likely not occur until “sometime next year,” and that there may be amendments to the bill.

Pressed for Kraft’s opinion on the matter, she replied, “If you have a liquor store that’s been there for years and years and years, and the city comes in to say, ‘no more’--he’s got questions...Is the answer changing zoning or getting more enforcement?”

The question came up several times in the meeting. Corbin acknowledged that ‘’there’s plenty of blame to go around.”

“The city didn’t do their job—or the Liquor Board,” he said, though he added that the proposed phase-out seems like a workable solution given the circumstances.

Alana Ridge, vice president of the association, said that in her opinion the association should not take a position on the bill. She argued that liquor outlets detrimental to the community would have been shut down over the years had enforcement by the Liquor Board been adequate.

“The Liquor Board failed,” she said. “They could have gotten rid of liquor licenses over the last 40 or 50 years, instead of us now saying who gets to have a business and who does not.”

Canton has had problems with vagrants since Darryl Jurkiewicz was a kid.

“They come in waves, and the groups of vagrants tend to move around,” says the president of the Canton Community Association.“For a long time, the vagrants were camped out on the Boston St. side of the Du Burns Arena, but since Coppermine Fieldhouse came in, they are not there anymore.”

“Now the problem areas are Dypski Park, O’Donnell Square Park, and the Canton Waterfront Park, and I’ve just started hearing from my board members that vagrants are using the Canton Dog Park as a toilet--and they’ve had to clean up after them.”

The CCA has a public safety committee, which is aware of the vagrant problem, and more members of the community are becoming engaged in dialogue on the issue via social media such as Facebook and Nextdoor, Jurkiewicz says, but he concedes that in the public parks there’s not much to be done aside from calling homeless services.

“You can’t make people come off the street,” he says, also acknowledging that the

homeless population can’t be pigeon-holed.“Some are reasonable; they just sit there and

mind their own business. In fact, I’m pretty sure there’s a guy in Canton living out of his van right now,” he says. “Others are obviously not right. They have mental health issues. I know of a particular woman who will scream at you even if you just look in her direction.”

Dustin Ritter, who lives near O’Donnell Square, has had more than his fair share of encounters with aggressive vagrants lately.

A few weeks ago, he claims that a homeless resident of the Square was passed out on the side of Vacarro’s at 9 p.m. on a Sunday night.

“My wife had to swerve and almost overturned the stroller and our 2-month-old daughter, because the homeless guy was sprawled out over the sidewalk,” Ritter recalls.

Ritter says he grabbed his phone and went to talk to the man.

“I told him he had two minutes to get up or I was calling the cops. He was drunk and told me he wasn’t moving and that he was doing nothing wrong.”

Ritter called the police.“I told him the cops were coming, and he

proceeds to tell me how he was going to kill

School, located in Greektown at Fait Ave. and Rappolla St., as the beneficiary of its annual Community Service Day.Mary Donnelly, principal of John Ruhrah, said that her school had applied to receive the new playground. The old playground, with missing pieces and safety issues, was dismantled in mid-May, she said.

“Parents were raising money to put in a new playground, but we weren’t anywhere near where we needed to be,” she said.


Red Line panel meets tough crowd in Canton

When public comment was curtailed and an agenda item on Boston St. construction was not reached, Canton residents left more than fuming from a Red Line Citizens’ Advisory Council meeting.Residents near the stretch of Boston St. between Montford Ave. and Hudson St.--where the Red Line train would transition to the surface as it heads east—have long opposed that aspect of the project. The last time Red Line plans were presented to the Canton community, at a January public forum, Maryland Transit Administration engineers gave two traffic re-routing options for the prolonged construction of the Boston St. tunnel transition. Both were soundly rejected by the residents and Boston St.-area businesses that attended that meeting.One option was to close a stretch of

me and my family and that he knew where we lived.”

Ritter says the police came, along with a fire truck and an ambulance, and they sent the man along his way.

“I asked why he didn’t detain him, because he was so drunk,” Ritter recalls.

“The officer told me of how Central Booking will not accept homeless or drunk people. This is the first of at least five officers/City officials that have told me this. I think the public needs to be made aware of this fact.”

Lieutenant Eric Kowalczyk, Baltimore City Police spokesman, says that “Central Booking is a state run agency and we are bound by their procedure.”

“If an individual is really intoxicated, that is a medical issue and we will call a medic unit at that point.”

At community meetings, residents have bemoaned the fact that an officer who arrests a drunk person must sit with the individual at Central Booking until he sobers up, a policy that can take the officer off the streets for hours.

Kowalczyk says that “it is hard to speak broadly,” but when it comes to “quality of life offenses [such as vagrancy] the department

prefers citations over arrests.” Says Ritter: “People probably would assume

that there is more that the police can do.”He stresses that he’s not unsympathetic to

the plight of the city’s homeless population. “I spent a summer working with a homeless

shelter and working with homeless kids outside of DC during college.”

Ritter says he’s just tired.Not long after the stroller incident, he

claims the same man defecated in his alley.“He took a poop in the alley when my

in-laws were in-town...They pointed it out to me as they were sitting on the couch looking out the front door and window,” he recalls.

Ritter says 311’s response was to have him call 611 (for the United Way of Central Maryland).

“While the lady at 611 was nice, I doubt she had much experience with dealing with homelessness in Baltimore City, and she gave me the number for two nonprofit groups. Not much help.”

Ritter says he then called 911 to get an officer to come out so he could confront the man. After the officer arrived, the two went to talk with him.

the recipe of which was selected during a parish stroganoff cook-off.

“This is made by real Russians from Russia,” he commented.

Established in 1919, Holy Trinity served the large number of immigrants from Russia and its satellites. That declined from the post war years into the 1980s, according to Vass.

“Now our parish is very diverse once again,” he said. “At least half the parishoners are from Russia, the Ukraine or Belarus, and they take a very active role in the church...We have become a very tight-knit family.”

Some parishoners commute from Monkton, Bel Air and further places for Sunday services, Vass said.

“To me, that is remarkable.”For more information on the Russian

Holy Trinity’s Russian Festival wraps up cultural season this weekend

The Showcase of Nations Ethnic Festivals, which started with the Greek Folk Festival in early June, ends with the Russian Festival this weekend, at Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church, 1723 E. Fairmount Ave.

Art Lisowsky, chairman of the festival, said that the musical performance by the Washington Balalaika Society gets him every time.

“You kind of just melt listening to the Russian folk music,” he said, “especially on the orchestra.”

The balalaika is a clean-toned Russian stringed instrument in the guitar family. The Washington Balalaika Society is a full orchestra of multiple balalaikas as well as other Russian instruments.

The festival is Oct. 18, 19 and 20. The Washington Balalaika Society plays Saturday at noon. The Beltway Balalaikas, a smaller, intimate ensemble of equally talented and hard-working musicians, plays Sunday at 4 p.m.

Additionally, the festival features performances of the Lyman Ukrainian Dance Group on Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. The 35-year-old group, which practices year-round in Canton, is known for its energetic, acrobatic routine.

This is the Russian Festival’s 40th year. Lisowsky said that keeping the celebration on the church grounds makes for a “cozy, warm festival.”

All food is handmade by members of the church, many of whom trace roots to Russia, the Ukraine or Belarus.

“Even the sausage was made in our kitchen,” said Father John Vass, pastor of Holy Trinity.

The festival is also well-known for the quality and variety of Russian breads and baked goods.

“These are breads you can’t buy in the store,” said Vass, “sweet breads with raisins and other flavors like chocolate or cherry. You can’t buy these anywhere.”

Other foods at the festival include pierogies, stuffed cabbage, fried noodles and onions, and other Russian and Eastern European dishes that can only be had during the festival season.

Lisowsky recommends the beef stroganoff,

No more liquor licenses in Fell’s Point, says a second association

The Fell’s Prospect Community Association joined the Fell’s Point Community Organization in endorsing a moratorium on new liquor licenses within the Fell’s Point Historic District.

The district, very roughly speaking, comprises the area between S. Caroline St. and S. Chester St, from Bank St. south to the water. It also includes the Broadway corridor as far north as Pratt St.

Portions of both Fell’s Prospect’s and FPCO’s territories fall within the district.

At its meeting last Thursday, Fell’s Prospect voted in support of the moratorium, which applies to bars and liquor stores (liquor-serving restaurants would be decided upon on a case-by-case basis), following an oral presentation by FPCO President Joanne Masopust.

The moratorium would also cap the size of liquor establishments using binding memorandums of understanding.

“There was a ban on licenses coming into the Cross Street area (of Federal Hill),” said Masopust, explaining the reason for the size cap. “Then you had (liquor license holders) buying up properties next to them and next to them and next to them.”

A memorandum of understanding between a liquor establishment and a neighborhood organization is binding as far as the Board of Liquor License Commissioners is concerned.

Moratorium or not, however, the board would have the final say on whether to allow a liquor license to transfer into the area. A true stay on new transfers into Fell’s Point would have to come from state legislators.

That might be the goal, according to Masopust.

“Our hope is that, by us taking a position, we can work with and encourage our delegation to change the law, at the very least as it pertains to the 46th District,” she said.

A couple recent Liquor Board decisions indicate that the three-commissioner body has been weighing community input heavily. The board rejected an application for Crossbar der Biergarten in Federal Hill over the summer when large numbers turned out to protest the proposed establishment.

About two weeks ago, the board rejected a license transfer in Fell’s Point, which would have brought a high-end market selling food, cocktail supplies, and liquor to 805 S. Broadway. Members of FPCO had argued that Fell’s Point had enough liquor outlets,


while the Fell’s Point Residents Association, the other neighborhood association in the area, had simply voted “not to oppose” the transfer, though the group had negotiated an MOU with the potential licensee.

“We’re not anti-bar; we’re not anti-drinking,” said Masopust. “We are pro-balance.”

She said that there are 68 active bars or liquor stores within FPCO’s boundaries. Victor Corbin, president of the Fell’s Prospect Community Association, said that adding in his area brings that number close to 130.

“You could go to one bar or liquor establishment for four months and not go to the same place twice,” he commented.

Corbin argued that a moratorium on liquor licenses would open the door to more retail in the area. Property owners, he argued, are currently keeping rents high because “they’re holding out for the bars, because they know that’s where the big money is.”

Seventeen members of Fell’s Prospect voted in favor of supporting the moratorium; none voted against; one abstained.

Highlandtown artists featured in Open Studio Tour

The School 33 Art Center has made the Highlandtown Arts District its featured neighborhood for this weekend’s Open Studio Tour.

“This is to get more people over to Highlandtown and realize it’s an arts and entertainment district,” said Quinn Palmer of School 33. “People think of the Bromo Tower Arts District, or they think of Station North. I think Highlandtown just needs a little love and attention.”

To kick off the weekend, the Highlandtown Arts District, also known as ha!, is holding a free fall party, Discover Creative Conkling Street, along Conkling St. from Gough to Fleet. The event is happening in conjunction with the Southeast Community Development Corporation.

The evening kicks off with an opening reception at the Highlandtown Gallery, 248 S. Conkling St., which just celebrated its own grand opening a couple weeks ago.


Guests at the free event will be stopping in to participating Conkling St. establishments to collect raffle tickets, see free art exhibits and eat complimentary snacks before meeting at the Laughing Pint, Gough and Conkling, for the raffle results and after-party at 9 p.m.

In addition to the Highlandtown Gallery and the Laughing Pint, Discover Creative Conkling Street includes:

Above Ground Studios: 301 S. Conkling St.The Gallery@3522: 3522 Bank St.; screen

painting by Anna Pasqualucci and Icelandic fiber art.

St.; a witch-hat workshop with Kolleen Kilduff of Design by Night, plus a happy hour with “witch’s brew” and wine.

Ever wonder what’s going on in your neighbor’s basement? It will certainly be something unusual if your neighbor lives at 338 S. East Ave., a block behind the Creative Alliance. A “Baltimore Rowhouse Basement Window Minstallation” is a pop-up art installation that will be visible through the basement windows on Saturday and Sunday.

Several weeks ago, the Guide asked readers to send in photos of their painted screens, and they delivered. We received images of many beautiful screens, and several interesting back stories. One screen, however, stood out. Congratulations to Lindsay and Joe Siegel, proud owners of The Most Attractive Painted Screen in (East) Baltimore!

The Siegels’ screen, on their home on the 3800 block of Eastern Ave., depicts a popular subject, the Patterson Park Pagoda, with a personalized touch—their two dogs, Kona and Einstein, are frolicking in the grass in the foreground.

“We’ve really enjoyed having the screen,” said Lindsay. “A lot of people ask about it.”

Prolific and renowned screen painter Anna Pasqualucci painted the Siegels’ screen last winter, at the behest of Joe’s parents, who are from New Hampshire.

Lindsay, a Baltimore native, had known about painted screens her whole life, but Joe’s family had never encountered the East Baltimore phenomenon until they visited the American Visionary Art Museum during a trip to Charm City.


Hidden gems emerge in screen contest“They saw the painted screen exhibit and

loved it,” said Lindsay. “They got in contact with the artist—we didn’t know it at the time—and got the screen for us as a wedding present.”

The Siegels consulted with Pasqualucci for a custom, personalized screen.

“Anna was very creative,” said Lindsay. “I just grabbed some pictures of what we do like to do in Baltimore and said, ‘Run with it.’”

The Siegels’ screen had to include a scene from Patterson Park.

“I love the park, especially with the dogs,” said Lindsay.

She added that one of her favorite things about the painting is that it includes landmarks that the couple can’t see from their home, such as the Natty Boh Tower.

She said that their screen is a topic of conversation for both longtime Baltimoreans and newcomers.

“It’s kind of a nice common thing everyone can enjoy,” Lindsay said.

A large number of entrants in The Guide’s contest sent in screens by Pasqualucci, an active artist who paints custom screens for residents and teaches workshops on the Baltimore art form. She can be seen promoting and teaching the art at various community festivals throughout the city. For more information, visit her website, paintedwindowscreens.com, and her original website, paintedscreens.synthasite.com.

This year is the 100th anniversary of painted screens in Baltimore, an art form pioneered by Czech grocer William Oktavec at his shop on the 800 block of N. Collington Ave. in 1913. For more general information about painted screens, visit the Painted Screen Society on the Web at paintedscreens.org.

“As long as you are devout, what the hell...”

With these words, a fellow photographer explained to Harry Connolly why St. Leo the Great Church was one of the few that allowed him to shoot weddings freely, rather than restricting him to a certain pew.

The off-the-cuff statement became an invaluable piece of advice to Connolly, who was just setting out on a 16-year project to photo-document Little Italy.

Indeed, the fruit of Connolly’s labors, a photo exhibit entitled “Little Italy, un Cuore Grande,” displays the photographer’s reverence and respect, which granted him unusual access to the fabled neighborhood, which has had a reputation of being guarded—literally and figuratively—over the years.

In contrast, the faces in Connolly’s photos are fully open and unguarded.

In one photograph, Frank Cipollini grins in front of his basement mural, a detailed, life-size tribute to DaVinci’s “The Last Supper.”

“I asked him why he painted it,” says Connolly. “He just said, ‘Well, I had some extra paint.’”

“You should have been here 40 years ago. This place was something back then,” an unidentified resident told Connolly. “Of course we would have thrown you out. No stranger with a camera in Our Neighborhood!”

“But they didn’t throw me out, and the place was still ‘something,’” wrote Connolly for the booklet accompanying the exhibit. “As I wandered ‘The Neighborhood’ streets with my camera, I got to know nearly everyone. Most were happy to be photographed and they told me stories.”

Connolly has lots of stories.He points out a photo of Gene Schiavo

pulling his grandfather’s hurdy gurdy, a musical instrument that produces melody with the turn of a crank arm. Schiavo’s grandfather earned a living pulling the several-hundred-pound, wheeled instrument from bar to bar, Connolly says.

“They’d walk to Pennsylvania, and stop at all the bars and play,” he says. “He’d come home, and this thing would be filled up with food.”

He earned more than food.

“He ended up buying two or three houses, and putting his kids through school, all with this,” says Connolly.

John Pente, who made the cover of the New York Times by projecting movies onto the side of his house for the neighborhood to share, smiles with the genuine purity that defined the man. He holds his fluffy little dog, Gina.

In another photo, Pente climbs the steps to his home after his 100th birthday party.

“He was just the nicest man you would ever want to meet,” Connolly says. “The second time I met him, he said, ‘Come over—I want to show you something.’”

It was a photograph in Pente’s high school yearbook for Calvert Hall. In the photograph, Pente was standing next to Connolly’s father.

Connolly recalls seeing Pente pattering around on his roof, even in his nineties, to hang a giant American flag on patriotic holidays.

When his children grew worried, Pente rigged a pulley system that allowed him to accomplish the task from the ground.

Connolly lets Tony Desales explain the essence of John Pente, with a quote placed above the photos: “Mr. John Pente, he treats strangers like friends, and friends like gold.”

His family, then, must have enjoyed his most exalted favor.

“They came every Sunday,” confirms Connolly. “It was still home for everybody—a place to come to.”

Clearly, like the wedding photographer at St. Leo’s, Connolly was granted full access to Little Italy. Starting in the right place probably helped him.

Connolly told St. Leo’s then-pastor Father Michael Salerno of his hope of documenting Little Italy and its people over a one-year period. Salerno advised against the project, and then agreed to help the photographer get started. But Connolly had to do the asking himself. After Salerno’s sermons, he would walk up to the pulpit, turn around to face the Little Italians, and nervously introduce himself and his project.

Things got easier after that, Connolly recalls. Salerno even wrote a letter to vouch for him.

“He said, ‘It anyone needs to know who you are, show them this,’” remembers the photographer. “I knew if he gave his OK, everything would be OK.”

Vagrancy: Homelessnes can hit close to home

“The homeless man said that none of the businesses on the Square will let him use the [bathroom] facilities,” Ritter says, adding “this likely due to the his threats, pooping on people’s sidewalks, stealing tips from outdoor tables, throwing bottles against businesses, etc..”

Ritter claims to have heard this from multiple neighbors, as this vagrant is known in the community. Ritter says the officer suggested the vagrant move along.

It was at that point that Ritter says he asked the man if he had family anywhere and made him an offer.

“I said I’d pay for a plane ticket for him to go wherever he may have more support. He said that there was nobody, but he would think about my offer.”

Ritter doesn’t think it’s possible for Baltimore to solve its vagrancy problem on a macro level all at once, but that solutions could be worked out neighborhood by neighborhood.

“The city can and should work to come up with plans on a smaller scale (say Canton) to

find out what works for all involved, homeless included.”

Ritter says he hasn’t seen that vagrant around lately, but his offer still stands.

Jurkiewicz had his own encounter with the homeless recently, this one more nuanced.

“Last month there was a cleanup at Canton Waterfront Park. We had a CCA tent set up, and some people stopped to talk. One, a woman, said she grew up in the neighborhood and her dad had recently died.”

Jurkiewicz, who has lived in the neighborhood more than 40 years, knew the woman’s dad from his involvement in local sports.

“We got to talking about the CCA and our general goals, and I said, just in passing, that we’d like to have the bathrooms at Canton Waterfront Park open more often, but we couldn’t because the homeless would camp out there, “ Jurkiewicz says.

What we learned about the Orioles in 2013

BIRDS HOUSE

Looking back at the Baltimore Orioles 2013 season, we learned a lot about this team. Even though they missed the playoffs, they still had a great season and taught us a thing or two. Here is what we learned about the 2013 Orioles.

They were the best fielding team. Ever. The O’s made only 54 errors this season, the low-est total ever, breaking the record of the 2003 Seattle Mariners. The O’s have a chance to break the record of Gold Glovers on one team, which is four. I could see Matt Wieters, J.J. Hardy, Manny Machado, Adam Jones and Nick Markakis taking home the Gold hard-ware, but we shall see.

Chris Davis is legit. Crush led all of base-ball in home runs (53) and runs batted in (138). While I don’t see him doing that again next year (although I wouldn’t mind) even a regres-sion would still have him hitting around 40 home runs ,which is what you would like to see from your first baseman.

Jim Johnson saved 50 games. Unfortunately for JJ and the rest of the O’s, he also blew nine. Not good. The Orioles finished 6.5 games out of the Wild Card, and you can’t help but think that if Johnson hadn’t blown nine saves they would have had a shot to get in the postseason. The good news is that he has saved at least 50

games the past two years in a row,m which does deserve some credit.

Chris Tillman might be living up to the hype. When the O’s acquired Tillman from Seattle along with Adam Jones for Erik Bedard, there was a good amount of buildup for the young Tillman. Before this year, he had not lived up to it. He seemed destined to be a quadruple-A player, too good for AAA, but not good enough for the pros. This year he went 16-7 with a 3.71 ERA, and his16 wins were fifth best in the American League.

I’m continually impressed with Miguel Gonzalez. Maybe my standards were lowered by the previous Mike Gonzalez who had no idea how to close a game out, but this Gonzo seems to have it. In 28 starts, Gonzalez went 11-8 with a very respectable 3.78 ERA. He also seems to be a big-game pitcher too, as we saw late last year while Baltimore was mak-ing their playoff push.

Adam Jones hit the best .285 average with 33 home runs and 108 runs batted in that nobody heard of. He can thank Chris Davis for stealing the offensive limelight, but Jones had an amazing season that deserves much more credit. If you top that off with the fact he will most likely win another Gold Glove, we are looking at one of the best players of our generation.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s also a month in which you can make up all kinds of inappropriate slogans, as long as they speak in support of fighting breast cancer.

Anne O’Brien of the Tyanna Foundation wouldn’t have it any other way. Last Saturday on the Under Armour headquarters at Tide Point, the organization held its annual BreastFest benefit celebration, “a day of eating, drinking, dancing and general silliness,” according to O’Brien.

“We don’t take ourselves too seriously,” she said. “Nobody’s going to come to an event where people are lectured to.”

O’Brien said that about 750 people attended the $60 event, a number “actually on the low side” when BreastFest usually attracts around 1,200 partiers.

“As it turns out, the turnout was great because the weather was supposed to be so terrible,” commented O’Brien.

The event included food from Fell’s Point restaurants such as One-Eyed Mike’s, Kooper’s Tavern, Ale Mary’s, Alexander’s Tavern, the DogWatch Tavern, Bond Street Social and the Waterfront Hotel, as well as other establishments from around the city. There were performances from four bands, including the Sara O’Brien Band, Real Geniuses, Bad Influence and Bobby Messano’s Band.

The Tyanna Foundation was started by sisters Anne, Bridget, Meghan, Sara and Kate, all daughters of Tyanna Barre O’Brien, who lost her life to breast cancer in 1990 at age 48. Anne O’Brien says that the foundation has a few goals.

“The whole idea behind BreastFest is we’re trying to keep breast cancer top of mind,” she said.

Money raised at the celebration will stay local, and will specifically go to the Hoffberger Breast Center at Mercy Hospital.

“We have (the money) really affect the patients—make their lives better in some way,” said O’Brien, adding that funds raised could go to better cancer treatments or quality-of-life improvements.

Beyond Baltimore, the Tyanna Foundation has branches in Philadelphia; New Jersey; Greenville, S.C.; and Athens, Ga. For more information, visit tyanna.org.

Ladies, have you scheduled your mammogram yet?

Breast cancer consist of cells that grow abnormally and in an uncontrolled way (malignant tumor). These cells can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body.

Breast cancer is mostly found in women; in rare cases it is also found in men. One out of 8 women has this disease.

The most common sign of breast cancer is a new lump or mass in the breast. In addition, the following are possible signs of breast cancer: bloody or sticky nipple discharge, inverted or dimpled nipple, unusual thickening of the breasts, roughness of the skin of the breast, one breast lower than the other, unusual increase in the size of one breast, an itchy rash around the nipple, and breast pain.

Early DetectionWomen in their 20s should perform self

exams. Women should have a complete breast exam every three years in their 20s and 30s, and every year in their 40s. Women should get a screening mammogram every year from age 40, or from age 35 if a first-degree relative (mother or sister) has been diagnosed with breast cancer under the before the age of 50

About Breast CancerThe Baltimore Guide would like to thank Johns Hopkins Breast Center for this information.

Mammography guidelinesWhat is mammography?Mammography is a low dose x-ray of the

breast. It is used to detect, examine and diagnose breast disease.

What is the benefit of getting a mammography?

The main benefit of mammography is to find cancers before you know they are there.

Who should get a mammography?There are certain guidelines for performing

clinical mammography. A screening mammogram should be performed on patients who do not have any signs, symptoms, complaints or concerns with their breasts.

A diagnostic mammogram should be performed on patients that have, but not limited to, symptomatic changes such as lumps, focal or localized pain, nipple discharge and changes in the shape of the breast.

Mammography should start at age 40, as recommended by the American Cancer Society, and continue annually until the patient has five good years of life left. When there is a first-degree relative with breast cancer, mammography should start early—ideally 10 years early. For example, if a mother is

diagnosed with breast cancer at age 40, then her daughter should start mammography at age 30. The high-risk patient should consult with her physician, on an individual basis, to determine what course to take as far as screening exams.

Is a mammography fool proof?There are false-positives with mammogra-

phy. There could be areas of concern to the radiologist during a reading and review of a mammogram, and a patient could be called

back to have additional imaging of the area, but it could turn out to be normal.

There are other exams that could be performed. One is called 3D mammography or tomosynthesis. In tomosynthesis, one 1-millimeter slice of the breast is imaged at a time and reviewed in sections, giving the interpreting radiologist a more detailed image. This exam also decreases the call back rate by 40 percent.

Four of the O’Brien sisters, the founders of the Tyanna Foundation, enjoyed drinks at BreastFest last weekend. They are, from left, Katie Bogle, Sara O’Brien, Bridget Mink and Anne O’Brien. | Photo courtesy of Anne O’Brien

but it doesn’t square with the facts. By the supermarket’s own admission, business struggled in recent years, which isn’t surprising given the depths of the nation’s recession and its impacts on local governments and businesses.”

Rawlings-Blake’s statement goes on to say that the bottle tax, which increased to 5 cents per container in July, “was critical to helping Baltimore close a massive budget deficit without cuts to city services and provided a dedicated funding stream to help secure a historic investment of $1 billion in school construction funds. No one likes tax increases, but kicking the can down the road when it comes to our financial solvency and investing in our children is not an option.”

In a later press statement issued following a press conference the Baltimore Guide was unable to attend, Rawlings-Blake disputed the idea that Baltimore offers a poor climate for small businesses.

“Over the past three-and-a-half years, Baltimore has welcomed five new grocery stores, with three additional grocery stores planned over the next few years,” she said in the statement.

Also ending will be Santoni’s partnership with the Health Department in the Virtual Supermarket Program, which delivered food to “food desert” communities via online shopping.

In the later press statement, Rawlings-Blake stated that Virtual Supermarket Program staff are currently looking for new grocer partners.

In April, Santoni’s launched a grocery store shuttle in April which brought shoppers to the store from areas of low vehicle ownership and food deserts. That will also end.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The super market was started by Santoni’s grandfather, Savino Santoni, in the back of his Eaton St. home, not far from the present location of the store.

Santoni is hoping that somebody will buy the store.

“Some previous prospects were tentative to open up a store in Baltimore City with the climate the way it is,” he said in an interview, though he added that the widespread news of the store’s closing has brought in several new prospects. “Of course they all came out of the woodwork,” he said.

The “Baltimore Business Journal” reported on Monday that Santoni was mulling a run for the House of Delegates. Santoni confirmed that this is true.

“That’s one of my passions and visions and something I’ve always considered,” he said.

As for making a living, he said he would like to stay in the industry and possibly work for a larger grocery chain.

“I have a very intimate knowledge, bottom to top, and I think I can take that progressive innovation to a larger retailer and be a real asset,” he said.

Since its earliest days, Santoni’s Super Market has been a major advertiser in the Baltimore Guide.
