Enoch Pratt CEO nominated to lead Library of Congress This is one for the books! Last week, President Barack Obama nominated Dr. Carla Hayden, a Baltimorean and the CEO of the Enoch Pratt library system, to head the Library of Congress. If confirmed by the Senate, Hayden will be the first woman and first African-American to be the Librarian of Congress in the library’s 214-year history. As the congressional librarian, she will oversee the library’s inventory, which is one of the largest ports of knowledge and history in the world, while directing the future of the country’s libraries. In the past, the Library of Congress, the nation’s oldest federal cultural institution, had been criticized for a lack of updated technology and modernized programming. Obama said that he knew Hayden while she was working at the Chicago Public Library and that he is confident she will work to bring the nation’s libraries into the 21st century. “Her understanding of the pivotal role that emerging technologies play in libraries will be essential in leading the Library of Congress as it continues to modernize its infrastructure and promote open access and full participation in today’s digital world,” said Obama, who cited Enoch Pratt’s technological advancements such a free wi-fi and e-readers. – CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 –

HAYDEN: Takes on Library of Congress Earlier this month, Hayden spoke at the grand re-opening and 130th birthday of Enoch Pratt’s Canton Branch. She called libraries “ships” saying that they can take you on “voyages of discovery” by providing resources and educational environments for the community. “We talk about libraries as being the original treasure chest, you can involve yourself in knowledge from years ago. You can tell just the way I’m talking about it that when I grew up it was that treasure chest for me. The thing that will keep me going throughout the rest of my career is that fact that in Baltimore the library mattered to people’s lives,” said Hayden in a video that was posted on Obama’s Facebook page. In his announcement, Obama praised the Enoch Pratt libraries for remaining open during April’s unrest. When other establishments shut down out of fear, all the Enoch Pratt libraries remained open, even the Pennsylvania Ave. branch which was in the center of the riots. From those locations, they handed out food and drinks and offered support to those affected. “It became that community meeting place, and people were so relieved to have a safe place to be. Making those libraries vital to communities will always be something that I look back on and say ‘We did that’,” said Hayden. Senators Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin recommended Hayden for the position last year. “Dr. Hayden is a cultural treasure to our city and a long-time defender of the free flow of information. While the loss will be a great one for Baltimore City, I look forward to introducing Dr. Hayden to my colleagues and to welcoming her as our nation’s top librarian,” said Sen. Cardin. Hayden was appointed the director of the Enoch Pratt libraries in 1993. During her time as director and the CEO, she oversaw great renovations in the libraries, including the implementation of new system-wide technology. She also led the construction of the Southeast Anchor Library and the largescale $112 million renovations to the Central branch. And, she created new programming about everything from arts education to financial literacy to gaming clubs to healthy eating classes. “We are thankful for Dr. Carla Hayden’s dedication and the amazing work she has accomplished in the 23 years she spent with the Pratt Library,” said Patricia Lasher the Board of Directors and Trustees Chair for Enoch Pratt. “She has made this library system a world renowned institution and continued Enoch Pratt’s legacy by providing a

place of learning for all citizens with amazing resources, services, and programming.” Laura Duarte Hazan is a librarian at the Light St. branch and the newly reopened Canton location. “In those 22 years, libraries have changed more than in the previous 500,” said Hazan about Hayden’s impact. “We went from all printed and bound materials to databases and computers and e-books. Dr. Hayden led a 21 branch urban library through those changes while also continuing the library’s mission of serving the community and promoting literacy. I think it’s one of the reasons she got the nomination for Library of Congress. They’ve led the charge in technology, but somehow dropped the ball in the last dozen years. Many believe she is going to bring them into the 21st century where they belong.” Hazan said that the Enoch Pratt libraries are always on the cutting edge of innovations and improvements that will benefit the community. At the Light St. branch, she pointed out the rows of electronic books and e-readers and the computer lab where people of all ages and backgrounds were working. She said libraries are more than just providing books and information, although that is important. They act as sanctuaries. Hazan spoke about how Hayden rarely closes the libraries during snow days because she knows that the homeless population relies on the libraries to be a warm place they can escape to. “People often say to me, ‘We don’t really need libraries anymore, right?’ Wrong,” she said. “There are materials in those collections that if not preserved by Pratt may have been lost to history. In our neighborhood branches, we serve the entire community from birth to elderly.” The Southeast has several Enoch Pratt branches in Patterson Park, Canton, and the Southeast Anchor in Highlandtown which, at the time, was the first library opened in Baltimore in 35 years.

EBLO works to expand programming to support and empower Latino population by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
Education Based Latino Outreach is a nonprofit organization out of the Jose Ruiz Community Center at 606 S. Ann Street that focuses on empowering and educating the city’s growing Latino population. Established in 1980, EBLO hosts a variety of classes and services, like lessons on advocacy and the English language, that cater specifically to Spanish-speaking residents. However, one program that is missing from this year’s EBLO programming is “Escuela Sabatina” or Saturday School, an after-hours curriculum that provides tutoring and mentoring for students that encourages longterm academic success and involvement. This winter, the community center’s heating system broke. The extensive repair put a huge dent in EBLO’s funds. As a result, they had to temporarily close Saturday School. Miguel Vicente is the executive director of EBLO and he’s spearheading the effort to get Saturday School back. “It is a way to get them that extra help that they need that their parents sometimes can’t provide because they’re too busy working or doing other things,” he said about Saturday School. “It’s about giving the kids another hour of learning instead of having them just sitting home and watching TV and possibly getting up to no good.” The tutors at Saturday School are usually students from UMBC that work with each child one-on-one. The community center has a computer lab that the children can use for homework and research. “Some of them don’t have the necessities like that at home.” It’s more than just a classroom, explains
Vincente, because it acts as a home-awayfrom-home where the students can come together and work together while learning. He said all the children are facing similar challenges as Spanish-speakers which mirror show the city is trying to adjust as a result of its shifting demographics. Along with Saturday School, EBLO makes sure the children are constantly engaged in their neighborhood through learning projects and community service. “It’s about taking ownership of their community,” he said. “We are very unique because our main focus is on education and our programs are primarily focused on making the children feel comfortable. It was created because we want the kids to embrace their culture and the language. There aren’t many programs like that in the Baltimore Metro area.” EBLO gathers most of it’s funding through cultural events such as the upcoming Día del Niño in Patterson Park on Saturday, April 30. Last year, EBLO had over 200 students enrolled from all over the city, from Patterson Park to West Baltimore to as far out as Baltimore and Harford Counties. However, due to losing some state funding, EBLO has had to reduce its programming, such as the Saturday School. A GoFundMe page has been set up for donations. “Small change can have big benefits for EBLO students. Just $10 will fund one student’s basic Saturday School supplies or bus transportation to Saturday School for one month. A donation of $400 will fund one student’s participation for one full school year,” states the GoFundMe page. They are hoping to get Saturday School up and running by March 2016. They also have plans this spring to renovate the community center, which Vincente says is an old building with great potential. If monetary donations aren’t possible, Vicente said that volunteers are always needed at the center. “We are very much in need of some helpful hands. They’re the foundation of what we do,” he said. For more information on EBLO or to volunteer, visit www.eblo.org. To donate, visit www.youcaring.com/students-in-eblo-ss a t u r d ay- s c h o ol - e s c u el a - s a b a t i n a program-521451.

Vagabond Players 100th season revisits the AIDS crisis by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR
The Vagabond Players, a theater company in Fell’s Point, is celebrating its 100th anniversary. To celebrate, the Players, which have been in the Southeast for over 70 of those years, are reviving plays from the company’s history. From 1981 to 1984 there were over 5,500 AIDS-related deaths. The epicenter of the HIV/AIDS epidemic’s impact was in a postsexual revolution New York City where the LGBT scene was thriving. Throughout this, however, the government and media stayed silent. The rise of this crisis is the basis of “The Normal Heart”, a semi-autobiographical play by the gay activist Larry Kramer, which will be performed by the Vagabond Players. “There are one or two [plays] a year where we try to make a statement and say this is a little bit more important and this has something important to say. It’s not just a comedy, it actually has a message and it’s one that will haunt you,” said Howard Berkowitz, the play’s director. “The Normal Heart” was last performed by the Vagabond Players in 1990. “It’s still very relevant today to us. I think Baltimore has a really strong LGBT community and this is an issue that still affects everyone,” said Eric C. Stein, who plays one of the main characters. The play follows the story of writer Ned Weeks over the course of three years. We see Weeks, played by Steven Shriner, as he tries to establish an organization that will force the world to pay attention to the disease that is killing his friends at alarming rates. Weeks relentlessly hounds government officials, doctors, and newspapers for any coverage which they refuse to do. “The world is pretending nothing is wrong,” he yells at one point, frustrated and disheartened by the lack of action. His fiery and outspoken personality earns him the ire of politicians and others within the organization who prefer more diplomatic approaches, such as Bruce Niles, a closeted businessman played by Tom Burns. Niles loses people and Weeks loses people over those three years, but both men react and proceed in such diametrically opposed ways that their growing tension begins to compromise their cause. The organization begins to crumble and the death toll rises as their terse arguments and fiery confrontations continue. Berkowitz said he didn’t want to create a hero in Weeks and a villain in Niles. He explained that he wanted to show two sides of a loaded and complex issue where the stakes and emotions were higher than ever.
When AIDS hits the person Weeks cares about the most, his life begins to unravel and he loses faith in himself and he wonders if all the anger, all the passion, and all the work he put into this cause was for naught. Weeks consults with Dr. Emma Brookner, a physician studying the AIDS virus and working with patients personally. Brookner. played by Laura Malkus, bemoans how health is a political issue and that there’s a lack of interest in gay health, thus rendering her lifesaving research useless. Brookner tells Weeks bluntly, “This is the most insidious killer I’ve ever seen and yet nobody will give a damn.” Malkus’ performance was a standout. As a polio survivor, Brookner knows the pervasiveness of disease and the feelings of being trapped by illness. Her constant and fruitless quest for funding escalates into a maddeningly passionate, teary monologue, performed flawlessly by Malkus, during which she unleashes the horrors she’s seen while watching man after man die in front of her as she stood helpless. Shriner’s Weeks is realistic and sympathetic, most likely due to being based on Kramer himself. Shriner adds a tinge of neuroticism to
Weeks that makes him accessible to the audience. He’s awkward in love and will never learn how and when to keep his mouth shut, but underneath that, you can see his desire to do good. “I’m more taken aback when somebody tells me they don’t know somebody who was affected by this,” said Shriner about the epidemic. He said that, whether you were or weren’t a gay man in the 80s, the HIV/AIDS crisis was something that impacted everybody. He added that Kramer, who his character is based on and the play’s writer, is still heavily involved in gay and AIDS activism. Throughout the events of the play, Weeks also has to face issues associated with internalized homophobia, familial disapproval, and the rise of sexual promiscuity all while the AIDS epidemic looms and threatens all he holds sacred. At the play’s climax and the peak of Week’s emotional and tragic journey, he yells “Why didn’t I fight harder?” “The Normal Heart” will run until March 20th. The Vagabond Players are located at 806 S. Broadway. For more information on the Vagabond Players, visit www.vagabondplayers.org.

Owner/Broker 443-690-0552
By special sports correspondent Andy Mindzak
Here is my main bottom line: Earlier this winter Fowler rejected the Cubs qualifying offer of $15.8 million and decided to test the free agency waters. At the time, Fowler was the Cubs starting centerfielder. Since that time, the Cubs added Jason Heyward and were talking about giving Jorge Soler a bigger role in the outfield and even Javier Baez was going to get time in the outfield as well. Oh, there is also Kyle Schwarber in left. While that might be a great problem to have as a manager (the Cubs have the opposite problem the Orioles have in the outfield), Fowler’s playing time will most likely be reduced significantly. Heyward will take over his spot in center which leaves Fowler to one of the corner outfield spots. While Fowler might be a better defender than Soler, Baez or Schwarber, he lacks the power they have. The point to all of that is that Fowler will no longer be a starter, meaning that could hurt his value next year when he becomes a free agent. The Orioles were going to give him a threeyear deal worth $33 million. His one year deal with the Cub for 2016 is for $8 million. There is also a $9 million mutual option (of $5 million buyout) for next year. So, he could potentially get $17 million if they both agree on him staying in Chicago, or $13 million and he will be a free agent…a free agent with what value? Time will tell after this season. Next year’s class of outfielders might not be as strong as this year’s, but Fowler isn’t exactly a Mike Trout or Adam Jones. $33 million guaranteed is $33 million guaranteed. Now he is looking at minimum $13 million with a ceiling of $17 million over the next two years. Had he signed with the O’s, he would have had $22 million in the bank over that time. Also keep in mind Fowler turns 30 towards the end of March, so he isn’t getting any younger. If he does not perform well, he might have cost himself a good chunk of change. Given the crowded Chicago outfield, he might not get the same opportunities he had in 2015 which could cost him significantly. If Fowler doesn’t want to listen to me, maybe he can listen to the wise words of former NFL player Randy Moss, “When you’re rich, you don’t write checks… straight cash, homie.”

Luckily for him, the Chicago Cubs do not play the Orioles this year, of course unless they meet in the World Series. Last week produced a bit of drama for the Baltimore Orioles as they first signed Yovani Gallardo to a three-year deal but then after his physical, restructured it to two years with a club option. The O’s then were thought to have signed free agent outfielder Dexter Fowler to a three-year deal. Not so fast. Several sources, including ESPN’s Buster Olney reported that Baltimore landed Fowler, however right before the Orioles were going to hold their press conference regarding Yovani Gallardo, news broke of Fowler re-signing with the Chicago Cubs. Then, to make things more interesting, Fowler’s agent Casey Close ripped Baltimore’s front office. Close said many things, but one thing he mentioned was, “Both the Orioles front office and members of the media were so busy recklessly spreading rumors that they forgot or simply chose not to concern themselves with the truth.” He also said, “Dexter Fowler never reached an agreement with the Orioles and did not come close to signing with the club; any suggestion otherwise is only a continuation of an already disturbing trend.” If we did a little deeper into Close’s tirade against the O’s management, we see a few things. First, news broke of Fowler signing with Baltimore about two days before he issued his scathing statement. Why did he wait two days to say something that he most likely should have known was untrue from day one? Perhaps he did know about it from the start and decided to work on the Chicago deal under wraps to try and stick it to the O’s? Maybe. Also, Close says that there was no deal reached, and Baltimore GM Dan Duquette confirmed that by stating, “There was not an agreement to terms because they kept insisting on an opt-out.” So, there really was no deal, yet a high-ranking Baltimore official released that info to a few select media members. Why? Not sure. Perhaps to pressure Fowler into signing, but that is only speculation.
