Getting physical with new personal ﬁtness studio BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

A new fitness studio is opening in Fell’s Point at 1727 Eastern Ave. XPF Studio is the brainchild of personal trainer Patrick Furlow, who used to teach at the now-closed Canton Club. The studio will focus on Furlow’s “extreme personal fitness” system that he developed over eight years. “It’s a progressive system designed to take you through the direct elements of fitness. We’re trying to build somebody up to the highest level of fitness by teaching them about how their body functions and grows.” Furlow said he wanted to “create a movement” with his program. At Canton Club, XPF gained popularity with over 100 people working with Furlow and reaching new levels of personal fitness. “There’s an emotional moment when somebody comes to you and wants to improve and wants to get healthy. And when you know you can help that person, it’s bigger than just CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Haussner’s demolition The demolition for the former Haussner’s location, 3244 Eastern Ave., is on track for Spring 2016. The building, which has been vacant for ten years, will be razed and an apartment complex will be built in its place. The demolition is set to begin in April, with the construction of the new units starting in May, according to The Garver Development Group. “If you want one last chance to lay an eyeball on Haussner’s, you have a few months left,” said Brian Sweeney, the president of the Highlandtown Community Association. “It’s got some historic significance in the neighborhood, but the building itself is in deplorable condition.” Sweeney said the idea to put apartments in a site that many Highlandtown residents view nostalgically was “controversial”, but he is optimistic. He said the developers paid close attention to detail and considered the community during the planning processes. The developers of the apartments will present their final drawings at next month’s Highlandtown Community Association Meeting and will be receptive to feedback.

Student brings gun to school Police were called to William Paca Elementary School at 200 N. Lakewood Ave. due to reports of a loaded handgun found in the book bag of a 5th-grade student on Thursday, January 14. The school officials said that the gun was discovered by an administrator before the start of the school day. The student has not been identified and has been taken to the Department of Juvenile Service, according to Baltimore City Public Schools spokeswoman Edie House-Foster.

Liquor Board meeting The Baltimore City Liquor Board is holding their first public workshop on Wednesday, January 20 at the Southeast Anchor Library at 3601 Eastern Ave. The meeting is part of the Liquor Board’s community outreach program during which residents will be able to speak to the commissioners about updated policies and troubled bars in the neighborhood. “These meetings will provide us opportunities to engage, listen for concerns, and inform residents of the changes being made at the agency,” said Commissioner Elizabeth Hafey.

Apartment complex planned for vacant church building by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Dinner includes: ravioli or spaghetti, meatballs, salad, bread, coffee

Developers are looking to convert the former location of Saint Sebastian Independent Catholic Church at 1728 Eastern Ave., into studio apartments. The property owner and developer, Marshall Kline of AB Associates, explains that the location also includes the church’s former directory building at 421 S. Regester St. “Marshall’s proposal is to renovate the two historic buildings into fifteen studio apartment units with ten parking spaces off the first floor that will be accessed through Regester St.,” said Nate Pretl, a zoning and planning consultant. The complex will also have repaired side windows and three garage doors on Portugal St. Pretl added that the developer is in a unique situation because the property has split zoning. The former church space is zoned commercial while the directory is zoned residential. “The plan for the building is to keep most of its historical character, especially in the front of the church. The front facade will stay as is and be repaired. It will look almost exactly as it does now, but hopefully a little bit better,” said Kline. Kline will present the proposal to the zoning board on February 21. He explained that they are attempting to get a “conditional use conversion” and an increased density variance. If the zoning and the plan review goes well, construction on the new apartments will begin by the end of March. Kline expects a 9-month construction period and to begin leasing the apartments by January of 2017. He said the one-bedroom apartments will be 500-600 square ft. per dwelling unit, with

Cannoli, Italian cookies & pizzelles, Italian wine & beer, and soft drinks

a price range of approximately $1250-1400 a month. “Whenever you have a vacant building in Baltimore, to use that for anything other than a vacant building, requires approval from the zoning board,” said Pretl. Kline said that he wants to have an open dialogue with the community as the construction begins. If the residents have concerns, he said he wants to hear them and will be working and communicating with community associations during the entire process. “Being in the Fell’s Point CHAP (Commission for Historical & Architectural Preservation) historic district, any exterior changes, which as Marshall said will be hardly any at all, would have to be approved by CHAP first,” explained Pretl. The Fell’s Prospect Community Association unanimously voted to support the proposal. They will write a letter of approval that will be presented to the zoning board during February’s hearing. Saint Sebastian Independent Catholic Church closed in 2013. The location has remained vacant since. Kline explained that following the church’s closure, another developer planned to turn the space into nine two- and three-bedroom apartments. He said this fell through due to poor management and planning. He added that AB Associates decided to build one bedroom apartments instead due to the needs of those looking to live in the Fell’s Prospect neighborhood. “Two and three bedrooms were going to be a lot harder for me to sell in the area,” he said. “Having studio apartments, one bedroom, just makes more sense.”

Are You Wedding-Ready? by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

We asked some local brides to share their wedding stories and their planning tips and tricks. From the flowers, to the decorations, to the cake, you want to get everything perfect so let this go-to bride guide help you plan the most romantic day of your life.

Preserve Your Memories WEDDING DRESS CLEANING & STORAGE BRIDAL PARTY DRESS PRESSING & ALTERATIONS

What advice would you give new brides who are currently planning their weddings? 1) Get to know your talented friends. We had our friends signed up as the photographers, DJ and officiant! 2) If you have bridesmaids in your wedding party, ask them for help. They are your support group through your big day. But also keep in mind that they are spending a lot of money and time to support you, so listen to their needs, too. For example, if they have budget constraints, listen to your bridesmaids if it’s a concern and try to honor it. It is your day, but it’s not just your time and money that is going in to it. 3) Plan some time to enjoy your day with your new spouse. It will go by faster than you think.

What did you do for music? DJ Debbie Russell provided music. (www. facebook.com/traveldj)

Where did you get your dress? I got my dress during a Brides Against Breast Cancer event. It’s an event that sells donated dresses and it was a great place to look. (www. bridesagainstbreastcancer.com)

Established 1969

What was the best part of your wedding? The ceremony. It was very reflective of us as a couple. Our friends Kaitlin and Matt did a reading from The Velveteen Rabbit, which wasn’t traditional, but very personal. Additionally, our friend Adrienne was our officiant and crafted the homily to be very personal, reflective of our experiences. We also wrote our own vows and it was so special to hear them for the first time during the ceremony.

What was the hardest part to plan? The details of the day were the hardest part to plan. We had our ceremony in the morning because it was a hot summer day outdoors so we had to start early. Not only that, but I had to be as detailed as possible and trust that things I couldn’t control would be handled.

Jennifer Carter, of Canton:

What advice would you give new brides who are currently planning their weddings? If you haven’t done so already, seriously consider hiring a Wedding Planner or at the very least a Day of Coordinator (DOC). I was a very hands-on bride and did most of the planning myself, however, we used Nora Ellenes with NoLo Weddings and Events (http://www. noloweddingsevents.com/), as our DOC. She was invaluable and absolutely made our wedding day a breeze. Utilizing a DOC was a recommendation I took from previous brides and I will gladly pass this this sanity-saving tip! Where was your wedding? Our wedding was held at The Star Spangled Banner Flag House Museum in Downtown Baltimore. (www.flaghouseevents.com) Why did you choose this venue? Our venue was conveniently located close to the best that Baltimore has to offer and we were able to host our ceremony and reception in the same location which was a priority for us. The ceremony was held outside in the courtyard, the cocktail hour was on the first floor of the museum (guests also got to tour the museum exhibits!), & the modern, loft-style ballroom on the 2nd floor was the perfect reception space. Who was your florist? Connie at Violet’s Florist. (410-255-8152) Who catered? Catering by Uptown. (www.cateringbyuptown. com) Who was your photographer? We used Tracie Smith with Photography by Tracie (http://www.photographybytracie.com/) as our wedding photographer. We also used Abigail Coale with Abidoodle Productions (www.abidoodleproductions.com). What kind of music did you have? We love to party & have a great time, so our music choices were a reflection of what we love to hear (R&B, Hip Hop, Top 40, and Reggae/

Caribbean music). Our DJ (DJ Arun with MiTTA Sound) was absolutely fantastic and kept the crowd dancing all night. What was the best part of your wedding? Our ceremony was extremely personal and one-of-a-kind. Our officiant, Ken Patterson (also known as The Maryland Wedding Officiant), helped us to create a customized ceremony with readings and traditions that were special to us. He was charismatic & our guests still rave about how much they loved the ceremony. Any other tips? The biggest tip I could give a future bride is to relax and ENJOY this time period in your life. As hectic as wedding planning can get, it is easy to forget that this is an important transitional period in your life that should be relished and celebrated. Additionally, it is a myth that grooms don’t want to be involved in the wedding planning. While he may not obsess over every detail as we would, he definitely should be apart of the planning process because it is his day, too!

Students encourage reading with community library BY GIANNA DECARLO

EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

“Reading is dreaming with your eyes open.” That is one of the quotes emblazoned on the side of a community library in Patterson Park. The library is a project by the students of the Living Classrooms Foundation to promote reading and encou age r an exchange of knowledge. The community library is located near the Living Classroom’s Patterson Park Community Center, next to the Mimi DiPeitro Ice Rink. In a past life, the library was an empty Baltimore Sun newspaper box. But then the 7th and 8th graders from Hampstead Hill Academy and Patterson Park Public Charter School worked together for over a month to transform the abandoned box into a miniature library that is open to the community. “Reading is an important part of our lives. If you don’t have that knowledge, it’s hard for you. Reading makes your brain grow and we support that,” said 8th grader Star Flores. “It’s beneficial because a lot of people don’t get this opportunity. This helps people get books and lets them take whatever they want. If you don’t have the certain amount of money to pay for a book you can just come here and get a book for free,” added Kimberli Elvir, another 8th grader. The books, of all genres, were donated by members of the community, the children’s schools and even from the students themselves. Those who take a book are encouraged to The students painting the community library with their favorite quotes. | Photo courtesy of the Living Classrooms Fundation. leave one in the box for somebody else. “It was something that we wanted to do to showed off at various community association help all people, not just those in the (Living “While everyone was outside and playing finishing touches on the library.

BIRDS HOUSE

by Andy MindzAk

Davis is back, now what? Finally! Chris Davis signed a deal with the Baltimore Orioles this week to the tune of seven years and $161 million. The contract is structured pretty interestingly as Davis will make $17 million annually from 2016 to 2022. He will then make $3.5 million each year from 2023 to 2032 and then will make $1.4 million from 2033 to 2037 with no interest on any of the deferrals. It is also noted that he has a full no-trade clause and there is no opt-out clause. Now that the Davis deal is done, the Orioles can hopefully focus on pitching, but before they hopefully make a move on their rotation, they also had allegedly made a deal to Yoenis Cespedes for five years and $90 million. Whether that deal is still on the table or not is unsure, but if the O’s do sign Cespedes, it would be nice to think about that lineup, and could be one for the record book. The record for most home runs by a team in one season is 264 by the 1997 Seattle Mariners. That roster included players such as one of my all-time favorites Jay Buhner, who hit 40 HR that year, Ken Griffey, Jr., Edgar Martinez, Alex Rodriguez, and Paul Sorrento. Last season the O’s hit 217 HR, the year before they hit 211, and then in 2013 they hit 212. They certainly have some pop, but if we consider them getting Cespedes, they could certainly challenge that mark by the 1997 Mariners. Here is how that could shake out: C – Matt Wieters – According to BaseballReference.com, Wieters has a yearly average of 21 HR a season. Since he has missed time over the past two seasons, he has hit only 13 HR combined over those two seasons. If healthy, Wieters could hit around 20. 1B – Chris Davis – Davis has the most pop on this team, hitting 126 HR over the past three seasons which is the most in all of baseball. His 162 game average is 37 HR a season, but since coming to Baltimore, I would say he should be a lock for 40 HR this year. 2B – Jonathan Schoop – Schoop certainly has power in his bat. Over the past two seasons with the O’s, Schoop has hit 31 HR, but keep in mind he also played in only 86 games last year. His 162 game average is 23 HR, but I would say he gets 20 HR this year.

If you’re keeping score at home, the O’s are already at 80 HR with these three players. SS – J.J. Hardy – I wish I knew what to put here. Hardy hit 77 HR during his first three seasons with the Orioles but has hit only 17 in the last two years. At this point, Hardy is 32 years old and only played in 114 games last year, so I would put him down for 10 HR this year. 3B – Manny Machado – Machado has a monster 2015 season as he hit 35 long balls and played in all 162 games, which was very encouraging for everyone in Baltimore. Will he get 35 again this year? I don’t see why not. LF – Yoenis Cespedes – If the O’s get Cespedes, he will obviously add a significant amount of power to this lineup. Last year Cespedes hit 35 HR between the Detroit Tigers and New York Mets, but his previous career high was 26. I am not sure about 35 again from him, but I would pencil in 30, which now bring the O’s total to 155. CF – Adam Jones – Jones has seen his HR total drop over each of the past three seasons, but he did miss some time last year which explains the drop in power numbers. I would say 28 out of Jones is a good number to hang my hat on. RF – Hyun-soo Kim – Kim is going to be the toughest to forecast since numbers from Korea are tough to translate to MLB. He did hit a career best 28 HR last year, but it will be interesting to see how that converts to playing in the Majors. I would guess he gets 15 HR this year in Baltimore if he plays a full season. DH – Mark Trumbo – Another tough one to figure out, but Trumbo has shown plenty of power in the Majors. Trumbo has hit over 30 HR twice in a season (2012 and 2013) and hit 22 last year while splitting time between Arizona and Seattle. Playing in Baltimore could help his power numbers and I see that number at 30. So, if you add them all up, you get 228 HR from this team, which does not count any of the bench players. It will certainly be a tough lineup to pitch to, because even the bottom of the order will be quality and will get some good pitches to hit, so they can see their power number rise a bit as well. Will they beat the 1997 Mariners? My guess is no, but they might come pretty darn close.

However, Furlow doesn’t want the “extreme” in the studio’s name to discourage those who are just starting their fitness journey. “The extreme is more about the passion of life, about how passionate you are about anything you do. The fitness is extremely personal for them and I’m extreme about it – meaning that I’m going to work hard myself to get you to the highest level possible. I’m going to teach you and monitor you, and I’m going to walk you through it all,” he said. “We get a diverse demographic through our door. Everybody has to start somewhere.” XPF works by first placing you in one of five “levels”. For example, the “Heal” level is for beginners or those who have suffered an injury and focuses on flexibility and therapeutic exercises. The “Prime” level will be about building your core and encouraging fatburning. The final stage, “Transcend”, is all about pushing yourself through compound movement and Olympic-style training to obtain the best health and fitness possible. Furlow monitors your current physical state and then builds a personalized plan around your capability and needs. As you improve, you will move up the levels. “It’s all about healthy preparation, you wouldn’t just jump in and start doing CrossFit,” Furlow explained. Once your regime is established, you can choose either one-on-one personal training or small group training. “XPF safely trains the body and mind under

high-stress situations to facilitate deep-rooted transformation. We believe that by applying an understanding of anatomy and optimal alignment on the individual level, any person can work at their limit without experiencing injury,” states XPF’s mission statement. When the Canton Club closed in December, Furlow knew that he had to continue his program. He said the jump to owning his own studio was a risk, but he is confident that his movement will only grow once in Fell’s Point. He said that he hopes that XPF will be an affordable option that is accessible for people of all levels of fitness. XPF also offers dance classes like one called Dance2Fitness, which is a high-energy workout based around dance moves and strength-training. Furlow is hoping that XPF Studios will be open by the middle of February. For more information on XPF Studio, visit www.teamxpf.com.
