Canton library reopens after four-year closure, celebrates 130th year Get your library cards ready, the Canton branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library is finally open after much-delayed renovations and an extended 4-year closure. The Canton branch is one of four libraries that were built 130 years ago by Enoch Pratt himself. Its grand re-opening, and 130th birthday, on Friday, February 12 celebrated the library’s new start and the century of history that goes along with it. The library had been closed for renovations since early 2012. The process, which was supposed to take a year and a half, was delayed multiple times due to issues with contracting, termite infestations, and difficulties dealing with the delicate 130-yearold architecture and the library’s historic landmark designation. “I know it was a long time coming. It was sometimes frustrating and I believe many of you shared that frustration with us. I must say, there are very few communities that have shown the patience and support and love during a very frustrating process. It was a long journey but your support made it easier for us,” said Dr. Carla Hayden, the CEO of Enoch Pratt Free Library. Hayden joked that the library was a Valentine’s day gift to Canton and dedicated it to all the residents that made its longevity possible. She points out a 95-year-old woman in the – CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 –

SEPD Major on high-profile crimes and new street patrols by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
A hit-and-run on the 700 block of S. Broadway last week that left one woman seriously injured shocked the community and made headlines. Major Deron Garrity of the SEPD provided updates and explanations for the events that lead to such a violent act. The video of the incident shows a few men banging on a van before the van jumped the sidewalk and fled the scene. Many who saw the video were wondering about this fight and how and where it started. According to Garrity, these men were in the car that the van hit from behind earlier in the video. They had come out to yell at the driver before the scene escalated. He said the fight didn’t originate in one of the bars. The SEPD has a video showing the driver, 37-year-old Orlando Redd, exiting a bar calmly and even sitting in his car eating pizza before driving into the car in front of him. “What happened after that was atrocious, I’ve never seen anything like that in my career,” said Garrity. “It just went downhill from there. This happened in an area where we have some issues with some bars. The strongest emphasis here is that it didn’t happen in a bar. There was no connection to a bar. This man just lost his mind because somebody was blocking the road in front of him. He started the fight.” The victim, Jill Boram, 27, is married to a Dogwatch Tavern employee. They both exited the bar to see the commotion which is when Boram was struck. Garrity said that officers would’ve arrived at the scene of the hit-and-run earlier if they weren’t pre-occupied with a triple shooting

that occurred just blocks away. Boram suffers serious, but non-life threatening, injuries. The community has rallied together to raise money for her medical treatments. On Sunday, February 21, Boram’s family and the Dogwatch Tavern is hosting a fundraising potluck. Another high-profile incident involved a man allegedly getting shot during an armed robbery at the 500 block of S. Castle St. on the afternoon of Friday, February 5. The victim, 37-year-old Kenneth Buckingham, claimed that an African-American male juvenile approached him and placed a gun to his stomach while demanding his wallet. Buckingham said he was shot as he was getting the wallet out of his pocket. Garrity said this was a fabricated story. Buckingham actually had shot himself while trying to fix a loaded gun in his home. “It was an accidental shooting. The person did not get shot by a suspect, the person did not get shot on the street, the person was not robbed,” he said. The SEPD discovered that the gunshot marks on Buckingham were not consistent with his story. “That makes me furious. If there are no holes on your outside garments, and you have a bullet mark going across your stomach, let’s do the math,” said Garrity. Buckingham’s story was widely circulated. His wife, who had reportedly been told and believed the false story, created a GoFundMe account that raised thousands of dollars over the course of a week. Mama’s on the Half Shell, where Buckingham worked as a chef, and several neighborhood organizations shared the page and called for donations. Since this, Buckingham had admitted to lying and GoFundMe refunded all the donations that were made to his page. Garrity then spoke about a group of suspects that have contributed to a “plethora of robberies” in Canton. The group, which is made up of multiple 16-year-olds not from the area, is responsible for 8 robberies in a 48-hour period. All the suspects have since been arrested. To avoid further cases like this from happening, Garrity said the SEPD will add foot patrol officers to their department in the upcoming weeks. Two officers will be designated to patrol Canton and more specifically, to patrol O’Donnell Square.

Kraft addresses Transform Baltimore controversy and more BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
As his final year in City Council winds down, Councilman Jim Kraft addressed the audience of the Canton Community Association Meeting about the state of the district. Kraft discussed Transform Baltimore, a comprehensive city-wide zoning rewrite and the subsequent controversy over height restrictions and a proposed historic overlay. Under Transform Baltimore, some areas in Fell’s Point could allow for buildings up to 100 ft. high, which some residents are protesting. (See the 2/3/16 article ‘The fight for historic overlay in Fell’s Point gets heated’). Kraft called these concerns a “paper tiger” saying that developers would not be able to, or even want to, build that high due to Fell’s Point being a historic district with buildings averaging 45 ft. high. “You are still governed by the historic district restrictions. It is very, very difficult to build a 100-foot building in the historic district,” he said. He added that he has been working on the overlay for months and is expecting to have a completed plan to present to the public in the next few weeks. “There are really like, 3 people who have been demanding that I do it yesterday. This is something that can’t be done yesterday. It’s something that has to be done thoughtfully, slowly.” Kraft said that he, along with the CHAP and other delegates, have been looking thoroughly at all the properties that will be affected while doing impact analysis studies and have adjusted the overlay accordingly. He said they’re considering extending the overlay’s coverage upwards towards Eastern Ave. and Bank and Gough Sts. “We believe that 98% of the people will be happy with the overlay. There may be one or two people who may have to be blocked, we cannot please every single person.” About Transform Baltimore as a whole, Kraft said it is expected to be in effect by the end of the year. “It is our intention to finish that by the end of March, get it to the Mayor for her signature in April. That bill has been seven years in the making.” He then addressed crime, saying the Southeast has seen an increase in every category besides two. For example, the district had 12 homicides in 2014 and 15 in 2015. There was a dramatic uptick in property-related crimes and commercial robberies as well.

You have to feel safe to be safe.” According to Kraft, the police force cannot hire officers to fill the needed positions in the department. As a result, the funds put aside for these officers will now be diverted into overtime. He provided an update of the Patterson Park Masterplan, saying that the final draft is now completed and is on the verge of being approved and moving forward. The entire plan is expected to cost $20-50 million over ten years, with most of the cost coming from the construction of a new recreation center. By the end of the year, at the end of his term, a new councilperson will take over Kraft’s position. He urged residents to get involved in the election process by knowing the potential candidates, six Democrats and three Republicans, and where they all stand on important issues. “Take the time to talk to the candidates, listen to what they have to say, read the information,” he said about the upcoming primary in April. He concluded by discussing his candidacy for a judgeship at Baltimore’s Circuit Court. He asked for the community’s votes, stressing that judges are non-partisan. “This is the first time ever in my life I’ve ever asked for a Republican vote.”

CANTON LIBRARY: Reopens after 4 year renovation

crowd who had been visiting the library since she was 8. “Generations of Baltimore and Canton residents have walked through these doors.” Hayden said that in their construction planning, they wanted to maintain the building’s symbolic architectural features while accommodating the growing community’s modern day needs. The Canton branch is the only remaining branch of Pratt’s original four. “History is worth saving. Many old buildings offer more than just nostalgic value, they offer opportunities for our community. What is old is new again,” said Patricia Lasher, the chair of the Pratt Library Board of Directors and Trustees. Part of the “new” are murals and photographs by local artist and Pratt’s design director Jack Young that depict the boating and waterfront lifestyle. Hayden said this represents the rich sea-faring history of Canton and the library’s proximity to the Harbor. “Libraries are like ships. It can take you on a journey anywhere you want to go and that voyage of discovery can begin with the resources and services that are available here,” said Hayden. Lasher said the long-delayed opening wouldn’t have been possible without such consistent community support and devotion to the library. She said that Canton’s community leaders and organizations have raised over $200,000 towards the library’s renovation through fundraising efforts over the past four years. Across the street from the library, The Cruise Lady had a window display dedicated to the re-opening. “You are a lot of people, a lot of ears, a lot
of eyes, but you’ve all spoken with one mouth, ‘We treasure this, get it done.’ With your continued support, this Pratt library will satisfy the thirst for knowledge for years to come.” The upgraded Canton branch added many modern day amenities that wouldn’t have existed in Pratt’s day, such a free wi-fi, 12 new public computers, and a wide selection of audiobooks. During the opening, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake spoke about how libraries are a place where residents can have access to technology, training, and programs that they couldn’t get elsewhere. “Libraries have long been a safe place for people from all walks of life to learn, engage with their communities, and build stronger neighborhood connections by providing free access to books, training, education, and resources,” she said. “Mr. Pratt wanted to create a place where everyone, no matter their race, religion, or economic status, could enjoy the world through books.” Rawlings-Blake called the library’s opening a “milestone”, saying that libraries have the ability to nurture curiosity and expand minds while creating educational opportunities and uniting neighbors. “When this library opened 130 years ago, the mayor at that time, Mayor James Hodges, observed that it was a ‘noble event in the history of Baltimore that marks an epoch in its progress.’ How right he was,” concluded Rawlings-Blake. The Canton branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library is located at 1030 S. Ellwood Ave. It will be open Monday and Wednesday from 12-8 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m.5 p.m.

PET CARE By Adriene Buisch
H3N2: The New Canine Flu strain Canine influenza, the “dog flu”, is a highly contagious respiratory infection. In 2004 there was an outbreak of canine influenza caused by the strain H3N8, and by 2009 a successful vaccine was approved which your dog may or may not be vaccinated for. In March 2015, there was a new panic that struck the dog owning population, an outbreak of a new dog flu caused by the strain H3N2 in Chicago, Illinois. Unlike H3N8 that was reported in 36 states over an 8 year span, this new strain H3N2 has quickly spread to 25 states in less than a year! Dogs that are frequently in contact with other dogs such as at dog parks, doggy daycare, and grooming are the most at risk for infection. Regardless of breed or age, almost all dogs are susceptible to the canine influenza H3N2 virus. It is transmitted by direct contact with an infected dog or droplets from coughing and sneezing. The infected droplets also contaminate surfaces, bowls, food, toys, etc. creating an easy transmission without physically being around another dog. The virus can survive in the environment for up to
2 days and on clothing up to 24 hours. The dog flu can be difficult to diagnose as not all dogs will show clinical signs at the time of infection. Clinical signs include sneezing, coughing, nasal or ocular discharge, anorexia, lethargy, fever, and could even lead to pneumonia. In severe cases it can be fatal. So here’s the good news! The USDA has granted the license to supply veterinarians with the vaccine to protect your dog against the H3N2 strain! Due to both strains of the dog flu being very infectious and easily transmissible, it is highly recommended to vaccinate with both canine influenza vaccines. Living in the city, in a highly condensed dog owning area, puts your dog at a higher risk in general. Unfortunately, there has already been a confirmed case of H3N2 infection in Gambrills, MD. If your dog develops any of the clinical symptoms, especially coughing or sneezing, make sure to contact your vet and most importantly limit your dog’s time outside. The vet will inform you of how long your dog could be contagious.

East Side Works teaches the art of making art BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR
Being an artist is hard. Being an artist and having to make your art stand out in the crafty age of DIY and Pinterest is even harder. Enter East Side Works, an educational development program by Maxine Taylor and Kini Collins, both fine artists, that teaches local artists how to market themselves and set the foundation for a successfully run independent business. “We are investing in Baltimore, our city and ourselves by combining our 50 plus years experience making and selling artwork,” said Collins, an Brewer’s Hill resident. East Side Works is more than an art collective, she said. It also acts as a crash course in marketing and economics by being a student-run small business itself. While the seven artists create, they’re also learning how to advertise themselves and run their own self-sustaining businesses. For example, they learn how to pitch their products, write and present business plans, learn where to get materials, and interact with the customer base through focus groups. “You have to make sure that potential buyers can access your products. You have to compare your products to other products on the market and do what you can to measure up and compete with them,” said Collins. She explained that East Side Works can only be successful through collaboration. The students are encouraged to assist each other and provide feedback to each other on their hand-made products. Through this, the artists not only better their skills but also learn how to work together and build their confidence. They all have a stake in another student’s success. Collins stresses that it’s not just an Economics 101 class. It’s about cultivating experience and actually living the processes that come with marketing and selling oneself. “The best way we ever learn anything is through hands-on hard work. Instead of lectures, we decided to start an actual small business so that they would have the physical experience and knowledge of having done it rather than just mindlessly sitting in a classroom.” After an intensive ten weeks, the students will get to display and sell their final products at a pop-up shop exhibition at the Laughing Pint at 3531 Gough St. on Friday, February 19. The show will run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Collins said the products presented will be just as unique and diverse as the artists that created them. “Everybody does things differently and that’s been really fun to for me to watch as a . teacher.”
The theme of this semester’s products was using repurposed and recycled materials. There’s a line of jewelry made from leftover wood from a construction site. Other products, like clocks, countertops, candle holders and tables, are made from old brining barrels that were used to store vinegar. One artist, who doubles as a musician, will show off his guitar straps made of denim from recycled blue jeans. Another artist is a recent college graduate who makes intricately designed earrings out of materials that anybody else would regard as trash. Another is a retired school janitor who wanted to finally give his art the attention it deserved. As a group, the students are also working to create Put B’More 2Gether, a jigsaw puzzle that features all the city’s landmarks and famous places. “They have learned and grown so much.” Collins and Taylor had envisioned this workshop for years, but just recently received the money needed to get it off the ground through funding by the Abell Foundation and by crowdfunding. They hope their successful first year will encourage more burgeoning artists to get involved.
Another aspect of East Side Works is giving the students not only the educational tools and business savvy they need, but the conviction to thrive in a highly competitive market. Collins explained that artists selling their products themselves is important because it benefits not only them and their profits, but it benefits the consumer as well. When an artist sells their products to a boutique, they lose some of the creative control over the piece. Websites like www.Etsy.com can make it easier for the artists to operate independently, but the students will take this a step further by creating these resources for themselves. “There are many outlets to sell work that are not just on the internet or in shops. There has been an explosion in Baltimore of high quality crafts sold independently. The Baltimore community has been extremely supportive of buying directly from artists. People love buying things directly from the source because this forges a real and genuine connection between them and the product,” she said. “Plus, the artist doesn’t have to pay commission,” she added with a laugh.

POTUS in the O’s? With President’s Day falling this week, I thought I would do something a little different and scour the Baltimore Orioles history books to find players who shared the last names of some of America’s Commander in Chiefs. Washington: Ron Washington – Washington spent one year with the Orioles back in 1987 where he played 26 games for the O’s as he batted .203. Hardly the stuff that George Washington would be proud of, but Ron Washington would have impressed our first President while managing the Texas Rangers to two World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011 while also leading the Rangers to 90+ win seasons four years in a row (2010 – 2013). Adams: Spencer Adams – John Adams is one of the more underrated and underappreciated Presidents in American history in my opinion (as well as his son, John Quincy Adams), but both of the John’s share their last name with Spencer Adams who played for the O’s in 1927 while they were the St. Louis Browns. Adams batted .266 that year but had an impressive .333 on-base percentage. Jefferson: Jesse Jefferson – One of the key contributors to the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, shared his last name with Jesse Jefferson who pitched for the O’s from 1973 to 1975 and posted a record of 7-7 with a 4.13 ERA. Something tells me that Thomas Jefferson showed more control than Jesse, as Jesse walked 92 hitters over a span of 165 2/3 innings pitched. Jackson: Grant Jackson – While Reggie Jackson did spend one year with the Orioles in 1976, Grant Jackson gets the write-up due to his playing with the O’s longer (1971 to 1976) and due to the fact that his name couldn’t be more Presidential, calling on Ulysses S. Grant as well as Andrew Jackson. Grant Jackson posted a quality record of 24-12 during his time in Baltimore along with an equally impressive ERA of 2.81. Grant also saved 39 games. Harrison: Roric Harrison – Roric Harrison played with the Orioles back in 1972 and while his record of 3-4 doesn’t look that impressive, his 2.30 ERA is certainly of high quality. While he was in Baltimore only for a year, that was unfortunately longer than William henry Harrison was President, as he passed away due to complications from pneumonia while serving in office for only 32 days.

PHIL TIRABASSI
BALTIMORE OFFICE
Kennedy: Terry Kennedy – Kennedy played two seasons with the Orioles from 1987 to 1988 with 1987 being his best year there as he made the All Star squad. He would end his ’87 season batting .250 with 18 HR and 62 RBI. While he might not have had the impact as John F. Kennedy, Terry still played well for the O’s. Bush: Bullet Joe Bush – With a name like Bullet Joe, you should automatically make any list. While sharing his name with the George’s, Bullet Joe played for the Orioles back in 1925 when they were the Browns. That year he posted a record of 14-14 with a 5.09 ERA. Bullet Joe would go on to post a career record of 196-184 with a 3.51 ERA over the span of 17 years in the Majors. While he did display some control problems, as he walked 91 batters over 208 2/3 innings in 1925, he at least found the plate more often than George W. found any weapons of mass destruction.
