Fire prevention meeting held to promote safety In the past month, multiple fires have broken out across the district, especially in the Highlandtown neighborhood. On February 20, a rowhouse on the 100 block of Conkling St. caught fire. This was the sixth fire in six months within the two block radius of Mt. Pleasant Ave. and Conkling St. A public safety meeting was held to provide more information on the fires while promoting fire prevention and safety tips to residents. Deputy Chief Reese Wingate of the city’s Fire Department said that these fires are unrelated and that they all had different causes. For example, the Conkling St. fire was determined to be an electrical fire. The fire on the 3900 block of Mt. Pleasant was caused by a space heater being placed near combustibles. The probable cause of the 3700 block of Mt. Pleasant fire last month was determined to be drug related. The first of these sets of fires was also on Mt. Pleasant Ave. on the 3400 block during January’s record-breaking snowfall. Five row homes were damaged and five families were – CONTINUED ON PAGE 16 –

Bike share program will bring 500 bikes to Baltimore streets by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
Last week, Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake and the Department of Transportation put the pedal to the metal and announced that a contract for a Charm City Bike Share program has been approved. The $2.36 million program will put approximately 500 new bikes on the streets at 50 stations across the city. The riders will pay a fee, which is estimated to be approximately $4 an hour, to temporarily check out the bikes from their docking stations. “The Bike Share program will provide citizens with convenient, on-demand access to bicycles for short-distance trips in the city. Similar to car sharing programs, Bike Share has become an effective mode of transportation for quick, point-to-point trips in urban areas,” states a press release from the Rawlings-Blake administration. Bike share programs have been implemented and found success in other high-traffic metropolitan cities across the country such as Philadelphia and Washington D.C. “Bike Share represents an affordable and healthy addition to our city’s existing transportation options. We are excited to invest in our communities by providing this safe and sustainable way to travel in Baltimore, and this will build on my administration’s efforts to make Baltimore more bike friendly. For Baltimore, expanding our network of sustainable transportation options is critical both to retaining our residents and attracting new families into our city,” Rawlings-Blake said. “Being a bikeable city means being a better, more livable city, and it also means making Baltimore greener, cleaner and healthier.” She added that the program will promote economic development and tourism in Baltimore while decreasing traffic congestion and pollution by taking vehicles off the road. Rawlings-Blake added that promoting biking over driving will create a “positive ripple effect” with the health of residents. The Baltimore City Board of Estimates approved Bewegen Technologies, a Canadian company, to oversee, regulate, implement, and maintain the program. Bewegen will be moving their headquarters to Baltimore and has said they will be hiring 80 locals. The technology firm said they will work
with city residents and officials to decide the best locations for the docking stations. Some proposed locations include Fell’s Point, Canton, and the Inner Harbor. “A Bike Share program in Baltimore will provide citizens with convenient, on-demand access to bicycles for short-distance trips. Similar to car-sharing programs, Bike Share has become an effective mode of transportation for quick trips in urban areas,” said William Johnson, the director of the Department of Transportation. The bikes will be equipped with GPS systems and rechargeable batteries. 200 of the bikes will have electric-pedal assist, which makes biking up hills or on uneven terrains easier. This will be one of the largest fleet of bikes with electric pedal assistance in the county. Baltimore has been trying to get a bike share contract in place since 2010. Several bicycling advocacy groups have expressed their support of the program, saying that it will make Baltimore more friendly for cyclists. “One of the best things bike share does is normalize every day bike riding. We know the number one way to improve the safety of people who bike is to increase the number of people who ride. Bike share programs do this incredibly well, providing a comfortable, stable upright riding experience...,” stated Bikemore, a local bike advocacy organization. The first phase of the bike share program will be implemented by the fall of 2016.

Joe Maye The Voice contestant Te aM aguiler a
Q: What is your favorite thing about Baltimore? Maryland resident Joe Maye wowed with a performance on NBC’s singing competition show The Voice. His rendition of “I Put A Spell On You” even inspired judge Christina Aguilera, who eventually recruited Maye to her team, to join him on-stage for a showstopping duet that dominated watercooler chatter. Maye had auditioned for the show three times before this lucky break. A former singer on an Inner Harbor cruise ship, Maye will go now head-to-head with other talented vocalists for the ultimate prize, a recording contract. How far will he make it? Tune in to see! Local performer, Joe Maye, performs on NBC’s The Voice TV competition. courtesy of NBC/Joe Maye.

I LOVE the Inner Harbor. We’re close to the beaches and bay. I can appreciate each season in its entirety. The biggest reason has to be that I have tons of family and friends here.
Q: When did you know you wanted to be a singer?
I’ve always known I wanted to perform. I started off performing theater in middle school, and continued in high school. As I got older, I started writing songs. It was how I coped with life, it was my journal.
Q: Favorite song on your EP? “Her Song.”
Q: What is your favorite to song to sing? “I Put A Spell On You.” Honestly!
Q: If you could duet with any artist, who would it be and why?
Christina = CHECK! I really love Toni Braxton. Love her tone and sultry voice. Keeping it in the Maryland family!
Q: You auditioned for Season 9 of “The Voice”, but didn’t get through the blind auditions. What did you do differently this time?
I didn’t dance! The Voice isn’t about performing, especially at the blind audition stage. When I came back this time, I performed vocally. I put ALL energy I would normally give to dancing, to my vocals.
Q: What was going through your mind when Christina Aguilera wanted to duet with you right after your audition?
Oh my god! I was in disbelief. “Is she really gonna do it?” Didn’t anticipate that at all. I was lost in the moment. It was very exciting and amazing. We complimented each other well I think. She pulled more out of me than I knew I had.
Q: What has been the local reaction to your performance?
My family has always been behind me. They’re REALLY excited and proud! It’s really cool because now the world can actually see and experience what I have to offer.
Q: Without giving anything away, how has your experience on The Voice been so far?
One of the biggest things you gain is the relationships you make with the other contestants. Some of us have been in the industry, some haven’t. It’s an instant connection. We all love to sing. It’s beautiful, but sometimes you have to step back and remember it’s a competition.

She comes in colors ev’rywhere Debbie Lynn Zwiebach works in layers, colors, and patterns. Even as a bartender, the local artist would use her creative artistic perspective to reinterpret and reproduce the world around her. During busy weekend nights at Leadbetter’s and Turkey Joe’s (which is now Alexander’s Tavern), Zwiebach would pour the patron a glass of beer and urge them to look closer at what they were seeing. “If you look at the rim, there’s a light side and a dark side. If there’s a neon light behind you, you’re going to see the reflection of the red light on the glass. You can see through the frosted glass to see the bottles of liquor, it’s distorted but it’s the same shape,” she explained. This unique eye and attention to patterns, shading, and highlighting, allowed Zwiebach to develop a psychedelic style which is being used in a new line of products, all featuring her art. Zwiebach officially opened her own gallery and store at the Highlandtown Gallery (248 S. Conkling St.) on Saturday, March 12. The second you enter the studio your eyes are immediately captured by her prints which feature juxtaposing patterns and vibrant colors. They are symmetrical, yet chaotic. She calls them “kaleidoscops” [sic] and uses shadowing to create depth to lines and movement in each pattern. On the stark white walls of the gallery, the art almost seems to have a pulse. It all stemmed from doodling. “When I didn’t know what to do, I would just doodle symmetrically. I’d doodle creatures, and trees, and shapes, anything,” said Zwiebach. When she began showing these “doodles” at art shows, they’d sell quickly and would seem to mesmerize all who looked at them. Through this, her own style developed. She uses markers, pens, and gel pens to layer colors on top of each other to create three-dimensional scenes. Eventually, the layers build up so much that the canvas develops texture, as if Zwiebach had been using paint. “The composition unfolds, stroke by stroke, as my instruments engage the illustration board. The completed composition does not completely reveal itself until the very last stroke. I don’t know what I’m going to end up with. It fills in as I go. I wing it. The designs tell their own stories.” She calls this method “artistic improvisation.” These unique prints were such a success that Zwiebach has paired with Felicia Zannino-Baker, the
owner of the Highlandtown Gallery, to create a product line out of her designs. “It just developed on its own and it just seemed right. She wanted to partner with me because she thought I offered something different,” she said. The first products released were laser-cut wooden puzzles and then cardboard puzzles. “It lets people buy my art at a price they can afford, but they have to work a little and put it together. Every puzzle piece is a piece of artwork. You have to look at the details of each piece to put it together and see how it connects to the whole piece. You actually get an art lesson out of it,” said Zwiebach of her puzzles. The next product was a jewelry line, featuring earrings and brooches, all of which contained the stylistic swirls and swoops that became Zwiebach’s signature. Her designs lend themselves well to the adult coloring book trend. Zwiebach’s coloring book is unique, however, because the lineart that is meant to be colored features black-and-white shading that adds more depth to the finished piece. She jokes that you could color it yourself, frame it, and nobody would be able to tell it apart from an actual print. At the launch of the gallery, new products were also revealed, such as a clothing line with leggings and blouses. There’s also purses, totes bags, pillows,

and even custom flipflops for when the weather warms up. One of her best sellers are puzzles that double as postcards. On the adjacent walls of the gallery is something completely different than these “kaleidoscops”. Zwiebach also does natural landscape scenes. Earthy green and deep browns dominate forest scenes where the leaves of a tall oak tree or the splashing of the waterfall seem to leap off the canvas. She does city scenes as well, like snapshots from her time tending bar in Fell’s Point. She holds up two prints of Thames St., one which was painted in 1974 and the other was painted in 2014. Now that she is based in Highlandtown, Zwiebach is working on a print honoring the history of the neighborhood. The piece will be a collage of Highlandtown landmarks, such as the Patterson Theatre, a section of formstone rowhomes, and the signs for DiPasquale’s, Hoehn’s Bakery, and G&A Restaurant. The piece will eventually be made into a puzzle. Zwiebach grew up in the Bronx and moved to Maryland after attending MICA. She always had her trademark artist’s eye, winning a drawing contest at nine-years-old when her winning entry was published in the New York Times. The future of Zwiebach Creations is open and will unfold and expand just like the shapes in one of her prints. Based on customer feedback, they’ll be adding more and more items to the store. “You never know where it’s going to go. It’s still growing. It’s so exciting,” said Zwiebach.

As the Southeast grows economically and in population, how will you work to balance the needs and wants of developers with the needs and wants of the residents? I will put residents and vested homeowners first. I do not believe that higher density will make the First District better but instead create more traffic, parking and quality of life issues. I am a supporter of development in Harbor East and Canton Crossing, former industrial areas, they have been a great addition to our District, but high-rises belong there not in residential areas. We need to protect and preserve our Historic neighborhoods from overdevelopment. I would like more residential homes to be built to match the surrounding homes which have been around from the early 1900’s. Every single candidate expressed concerns and proposed plans for hot button issues like transportation and education, but what is another key issue that is important to you? Why is it important to you? Crime: I spent 32 years in law enforcement and as a honorably retired DEA Special Agent, I know that the people of the District and the City need to feel safe. I was born and raised in the district: I understand how our senior citizens feel and how someone new in the area feels about crime and quality of life issues and nuisance crime issues. I launched the city alley gating program which helps neighborhoods install alley gates so their family and children can be safer in their yards. I helped close down a problem bar that was a nuisance to the community and to the
surrounding homeowners. We need more community policing and more foot patrol in the area. I understand the district crime issues and I am willing to assist the city police in obtaining the resources they need to make our district and city safe. The district is luckily a lot better off than other parts of the city in terms of crime,however, robberies and burglaries remain a concern. What would you do to combat this? What do you think the police can do to reduce robberies? First thing we need to do as a City is to stand behind our police. The police cannot combat crime in the First District and the rest of the City if they are retiring or leaving for other jurisdictions. The police are understaffed and overworked and we need to support them so they can recruit more cadets. Second, I would like to see more police foot patrols and community policing. The community needs to know their police sector officer, i.e. Officer Larry Fasano our bike patrol officer and our officers need to know the community, the residents and the businesses. By understanding their area of patrol, our officers will be able to address crime issues more effectively; the trust between our police officers and residents will make our district safer. I started the Alley Gating Program back in 2001 to help stop robberies, prostitution, drug use, and illegal dumping. This program not only worked, it became a pilot program for the entire city. Now, residents who have their alleys gated can use it as a backyard and not have to worry about the safety of their kids or cars.

Police should target repeat offenders. The police along with city prosecutors, parole and probation officers and other criminal justice agencies must work together towards a common goal: Safe neighborhoods. Education of our residents in how to properly secure their homes: crime prevention techniques, i.e. proper locks, lighting, “warning signage “ you are being videotaped etc. robberies education: Do not walk while talking or texting on your cell phone or with headphones on. Be alert of your surroundings and try to walk in groups or with a partner. Specialized police units should be formed to concentrate on high crime areas where burglaries and or robberies occur. What sets you apart from the other candidates? I was born and raised in the First District. I understand the issues we face more than any other candidate because I have been working to fix them for the past two decades as a community activist and leader. I am past President of the Upper Fells Point Improvement Association and Vice President of the Fells Prospect Community Association. I have worked on a plethora of issues, from bar issues, zoning issues, crime issues, senior citizens’ issues and more. I did not just start to address district/community issues because of my campaign to be a councilman. I have been addressing community issues my entire adult life. I have been a public servant my entire career and I want to continue to be a public servant.

JENNIFER DUDLEY (R)
Jennifer Dudley is a Republican running for City Council. She is a professor at Towson University. For more information on her campaign, contact DudleyforBaltimore@gmail.com. As the Southeast grows economically and in population, how will you work to balance the needs and wants of developers with the needs and wants of the residents? It is detrimental to let progress and development overpower the integrity of our city. Baltimore has an amazing charm about it that I would never sacrifice. That being said, I think almost everyone can agree that adding businesses and residences will help build up our city and our homes. Currently there are plans by Councilman Kraft to rezone the Fells Point area of our city to allow building height to be increased. I am not in favor of this as it will take away the historic charm of the area and change the entire feel of Fells Point. The citizens in Fells Point are not in favor of this rezoning and their voices need to be heard. Every single candidate has expressed concerns and proposed plans for hot button issues like transportation and education, but what is another key issue that is important to you? Why is it important to you? I don’t really have a “key” issue. Our city has so many needs and is broken in so many different ways that need to be addressed and fixed. If I had to narrow down a particular issue it would be that we need to help our youth care about the city in which they live and take ownership. We need to put some focus on them as they are the key to our future. In order to do that we need to have programs for them and our schools need to be a comfortable and inviting place for them to go. I have spoken to teachers around the district and they report having classrooms with mold and mushrooms growing – our children are learning in that environment and it is not right. The district is luckily a lot better off than other parts of the city in terms of crime, however, robberies and burglaries remain a concern. What would you do to combat this? What do you think the police can do to reduce robberies? There is no quick fix for this. People feel the need to steal when they themselves are in need. We have to set up our young citizens for success and this starts with a good education along with after school programs to put our

youth on the right track. Bringing in more jobs will help our adult citizens by allowing them the ability to move up in the stratification of our society. In addition, by working on our citizens having more attachments, investments, involvements and beliefs within themselves and the city they will be too socially involved to want to commit crime. As for what the police can do, our citizens first need to work within their neighborhoods with their local police to form watch groups. We also need to get to know our neighbors and get to know our local police. I think it would be good to have patrols within neighborhoods – walking patrols who get to know the citizens. My father is a retired Baltimore City police officer and he remembers when beat cops were the norm. He said they were a good way to protect the citizens because everyone knew each other. This is a community effort to combat crime. We cannot put the entire burden on the police. What sets you apart from the other candidates? My daughter would tell you that what sets me apart is my love for the city and the citizens – she always says I bleed Old Bay. I am just a lady who lives on the edge of Highlandtown who has a vision of the city being charming again. I want all of our citizens to feel they have someone to go to--to trust. I have fought for people and their rights most of my career and I am ready to do that for the citizens of district one. I am not a politician and have no plans to become one. I believe career politicians have gotten our city in the mess it is in and people like me need to clean up that mess. I want to be District One’s advocate.

MeeT Your MerChanTs: Canton
The Cruise Lady
In 1998 when lifelong Baltimore resident Mary Eve VonBerger looked to relocate her growing business, The Cruise Lady, Inc., Canton was the obvious choice. “When I saw that the building was for sale, I knew it was perfect,” said Mary Eve who has lived in Canton since 1988. “Canton was a much smaller community back then, but it was on the rise.” As Canton has grown, so has The Cruise Lady, Inc. now a world-class travel agency with a personal touch that offers a wide range of travel options beyond just cruises. “We represent, worldwide Independent & Escorted Tour Operators, in addition to booking AllInclusive getaways and resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico,” said Mary Eve. “The Caribbean remains our most popular cruise destination, but a lot of people are enjoying the unique experience of the Mediterranean or Alaskan cruises. River cruising in Europe and the United States is also gaining in popularity.” As a Canton resident and business owner, Mary Eve feels that community involvement is a major reason for her success. “The neighborhood has really embraced us,” said Mary Eve. “Living and working here allows us to really get to know our clients, and gives us a more personal touch.” Mary Eve gives back to the community by serving as a member of the Exchange Club of Highlandtown and Canton, O’Donnell Square Business District Association as well as the Canton Community Association.

FIRE PREVENTION: home safety displaced. The snow drifts were so high that even ng i that firefighters had difficulties getting to fire hydrants. Neighbors had to help them transport the firehoses. Wingate said that they couldn’t determine a cause for this fire because the location was “completely collapsed” and was unsafe for investigators to enter. The uptick in fires has worried residents, said Battalion Chief John Gereny, who added that the Fire Department is being responsive to their concerns. “We’ve had requests to do more sweeps of smoke detectors installations in the homes,” said Gereny. Every Saturday, from March 19 until April 16, the Fire Department will canvas the neighborhood, knock on doors, and check and install fire alarms. Over those five weeks, the Fire Department hopes to canvass as much as the district as possible. He also said that people can request firefighters to come to their homes and give their family lessons on fire safety, the 911 system, and how to set up a meeting place if you’re ever experiencing a fire.
“It helps us account for people and can minimize who could be getting hurt,” he said about establishing a meeting space in the event of a fire. Although the fires were determined to be unrelated, many community members had concerns that the frequency of such fires so close together were caused by homes being used by drug dealers and sex workers. “It still seems like, in a lot of these homes that have burned, there has been kind of a common thread in that there are some very poor lifestyle choices being made inside them,” said Brian Sweeney, the president of the Highlandtown Community Association. “We know drugs are getting bigger and bigger in the communities and I would like to know personally if I lived where it’s going on and I got kids there, too. If we start seeing a trend in one block, that should be addressed, police should get involved, the community should get involved. Everybody should get involved,” replied Wingate. “What we notice a lot is people will use drugs and then pass out and drop a cigarette and the house will catch on fire, or whether they’re mixing types of drugs together or making drugs. There are many ways for a fire
to start for that,” added Gereny. Several residents responded and said that they knew for months that the buildings that caught on fire would be dangerous and that the city didn’t do anything to prevent it. Councilman Jim Kraft said that in response to these problem areas, the city will get the police involved and up their surveillance of the area, as well as creating homeless outreach programs to distribute information and support. Kraft also called for neighbors to report problem neighbors, blocks, and buildings to 311 as well as offering resources to those engaging in the dangerous activities. He said this will create more targeted enforcement and hopefully, more efficient investigations and solutions to problem properties that place neighbors at risk. “The more people you get together to raise their voices and get involved in this, downtown will start listening. The squeaky wheel gets the grease,” said Gereny. “If we know about it, we can get out there. If we don’t know about it, then we can’t.” Gereny said that when a fire happens, the firefighters have to go into the adjacent houses because carbon monoxide and fire can spread quickly, especially if a building has an attic.
Conkling St. fire | Photo by Mark Parker The final speaker was Kevin Cleary, the Director of Preparedness for the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management. Cleary spoke about the importance of Disaster Preparedness kits which should contain necessities such a bottled water and clothing along with important documents such an insurance information. In the case of a fire, one should be able to grab the kit and have essential items that will make recovery easier. “The better prepared you are with an emergency kit, the more likely you will be thoughtful about your candles and other open flames.”

Vegas underestimates Orioles’ odds In the spirit of March Madness, I checked out the Vegas line for the Baltimore Orioles over/under on wins this season. Turns out Vegas has the O’s line for wins at 80.5. I would have to say I disagree with that. Let’s start in the Orioles’ division, the American League East. Sure, it’s a tough division, but no one team really stands out from the rest. Sure, the Toronto Blue Jays can hit the crap out of the ball, but like Baltimore, their starting pitching is average, although I think Baltimore’s rotation has a slightly higher upside and the O’s bullpen is by far superior. Given that the Orioles play each team in the AL East 19 times over the course of a season, I would say they go 9-10 against the Jays since they do play 10 games on the road in Toronto this year. The New York Yankees have a solid team but they have a lot of question marks, namely around age and injury concerns. Their starting rotation on paper is better, but Masahiro Tanaka’s elbow is hanging on by a thread and Michael Pineda usually finds his way to the disabled list at some point during the season. New York’s bullpen is actually better than Baltimore’s, but they are two of the league’s best with New York having the advantage. They do play New York on the road 10 times, but I think Baltimore can handle the Yanks this year, going 12-7 against them. The Boston Red Sox have some good young players like Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts, however they have Hanley Ramirez at first basically because he can’t play shortstop anymore and he was atrocious in left field. On top of that, he will also be on the DL at some point this year. Dustin Pedroia is aging and David Ortiz has already aged. Their rotation now boasts legit ace David Price, but after that, I’m not really impressed. Sure, Clay Buchholz has shown flashes of brilliance, but he has also been downright terrible. The Sox did add Craig Kimbrel in the bullpen, but overall Baltimore’s ‘pen is better. I would say Baltimore goes 10-9 against them this year. The last team in the AL East would be the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays had an anemic offense in 2015 but they added Corey Dickerson who should help things out, but one player can only do so much. The Rays cannot even touch
Spring into a New Home!
PHIL TIRABASSI
the O’s offense, but Tampa’s pitching is by far better. Chris Archer heads up a solid rotation but like most every other team that does not have the Yankees bullpen, Baltimore’s bullpen is better. I would go on to say that the O’s go 11-8 against the Rays this year. So, just in their own division, the Orioles are looking at a record of 42-34. If we look at the rest of their schedule, they play the Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies a combined 20 times. If they play as they are capable, the Orioles should win 13 of those 20 games, bringing their record to 55-41. They play the Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Angels, and Cleveland Indians a combined 26 times. While I think the Angels are tough, as are the Indians, I can see Baltimore going 14-12 in those games bringing their record to 69-53, which is a pretty impressive record. Unfortunately, they also play the Kansas City Royals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks, Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals a combined total of 37 games. That’s a lot of games against a lot of good teams. I can see the O’s going 17-20 against those teams, bringing their season record to 86-73. I think they will win more than what Vegas thinks, the bigger question is will that win total be enough to get them into the playoffs. Discuss amongst yourselves.
