Proposed bill pushes for $15 minimum wage by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Last week, Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke of the 14th district proposed new legislation that would increase Baltimore’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. According to the controversial bill, the minimum wage would be incrementally increased over four years, reaching $15 an hour by 2020. Clarke’s proposal came the day before the one-year anniversary of the death of Freddie Gray. Clarke said that unrest following Gray’s death showed the importance of ending economic inequality and creating more job opportunities for residents. “That led us to a city to be concerned about a lot of the issues that underlie such unrest and one of them is certainly economic equity and the divide between people who are working sometimes three jobs and still are going to the church pantry at the end of the month to feed their families,” she said. “The economic justice we seek matters in raising up families and neighborhoods to their just and equal status throughout the city.” Clarke added that this change would benefit 80,000 workers which comprise over 20% of Baltimore’s workforce. “We’re in line with what’s happening and what has to happen to help people become selfsufficient, she said. “Subsidies are not what working people want.” Clarke said that raising the wages will help combat inflation and as electric, water, and heating bills increase, will help people afford the higher cost of living in the city. “The simple fact is you cannot survive on $8.25. Our communities cannot thrive when people are being paid just $8.25. Let us be clear, it would already be $15 per hour if it had kept up with inflation,” said Ben Jealous, the former head of the NAACP at the press conference. The city’s Labor Committee will hold a public meeting next month for residents to give feedback. Eight members of the City Council, including the council president Bernard C. Young, co-sponsored the bill. Another controversial aspect of the legislation is the elimination of “subminimum wages” which is when employees are paid below minimum wage but receive tips. Under Clarke’s bill, these type of workers, such as servers and waiters, will be paid a base of $15 an hour. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s administration came out supporting an

Opponents of the bill expressed concerns that higher wages would discourage businesses from coming to Baltimore and higher product cost for consumers. They added that higher wages would actually reduce the number of jobs as businesses, more specifically restaurants, would cut positions in order to save money. They also said that small businesses will suffer, since the burden of paying the servers the extra labor cost would fall on the business owners rather than the customers who would normally tip to make up the difference. Clarke defended the bill saying that higher wages would mean more money filtered into the economy, which would offset the increased costs to businesses. The current minimum wage is $8.25 an hour which is to be increased to $10.10 per hour by the summer of 2018 following a law signed by former Mayor Martin O’Malley in 2014. “This effort is major and meaningful. It will require sacrifices and a unified commitment to pull together because the economic justice we seek matters,” said Clarke. There has been a nation-wide push for higher minimum wages in recent years, with states like New York and California adopting a $15 an hour wage.

Rawlings-Blake and Davis discuss policing reform, public outreach, and community collaboration by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Nearly a year after the unrest, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, and Police Commissioner Kevin Davis held a public meeting on Thursday, April 21 to discuss crime prevention and safety in the city. Rawlings-Blake said that the issues discussed in these meetings help guide her policy-making. “It’s clear, I think, that when we’re thinking about public safety, it is a work in progress. You don’t just put a pin in it, it’s ongoing work that has to continue. I think you have to have the right ingredients, a commitment to collaboration and a community that is engaged,” she said. One overlapping theme of the meeting was the need for this community collaboration. Rawlings-Blake brought up how she and Davis had been pushing for reforms to the Officer’s Bill of Right, an initiative that is a direct result of conversations facilitated at public safety forums. Since last April’s violence, Commissioner Davis said that the police has been putting a direct focus into the community. The Outward Bound youth outreach program was created to target youths that may have a negative perception of police. Davis explained that every officer will spend an entire day with a Baltimore City student that was selected by their principal. Calling it a “one-on-one experience,” Davis said the program is working to repair relationships and aid in rebuilding trust. “We can’t have too much interaction with young people,” he said, adding that they are partnering with organizations like Big Brothers, Big Sisters and establishing a basketball league for high school students. “Someone asked me if I have to pick one thing that was a symbolic and tangible representation of how far we’ve come in one year, and what immediately came to mind for me was our new commitment to outreach for the young people in Baltimore.” Davis added that the unrest highlighted that some laws needed to be amended. For example, he has been pushing for the illegal possession of a firearm to be classified as a felony rather than how it is currently defined as a misdemeanor. He also explained his push for the creation of mediation opportunities for citizens with complaints against police officers and improvements to the Civilian Review Board. Rawlings-Blake brought up the body camera program, something that has been in the works since 2014, which will begin within the next two weeks. On cameras, the importance of cameras at

residential locations and business was emphasized, especially when utilizing resources like CitiWatch. Rawlings-Blake said that such technology can aid officers in solving crimes and identifying criminals. She said that she wishes to expand the city’s camera network, however, the price isn’t right. “The requests [for cameras] far outweigh our budget, we have to be fiscally responsible as we work to expand that network,” said Rawlings-Blake about the budgetary restrictions. Davis brought up another limitation within the force: a lack of officers. With approximately 20 officers retiring or resigning monthly, Davis said the department is working to bring more officers into the city through local hiring recruitment and adjusting the hiring standards. “Every police chief in America will probably tell you they don’t have enough police officers, just like every citizen will tell you they don’t see the cops enough,” he said. Davis said there needs to be creative ways to establish an environment where first responders will want to come and take up residence in Baltimore City, such as home buying incentives and legislation that would rebate their income taxes. It’s about finding out the best size for the police force and the best way to allocate resources, Davis explained. He said that every neighborhood has different needs that translate into different policing, saying that there isn’t “cookie cutter police department” that one can apply across the entire city. Another topic discussed was better mental health care and psychological investigations for officers. Davis said that there was a sort of PTSD after the uprising that showed that mental health support had to always be available, rather than just after major incidents. “The profession is under a microscope,” he said. Davis said that this is causing difficulties in the short-term but the police department will be better for it in the long-term. He added that the number of police misconduct and excessive force complaints has been reduced since last year. This is due to better interpersonal training, said Davis. Rawlings-Blake said that in the past year, the department has pushed towards a more transparent and responsive form of policing. “The only way we will become a safer city is by working together. There is very little that the community can do to create safe neighborhoods if they’re not supported by the police department,” said Davis.

Fifth graders show off their smarts at BCP fundraiser by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Are you smarter than a 5th grader? That’s the question several public figures had to ask themselves as they went head-tohead with the brilliant students of Baltimore at the 5th annual Are You Smarter than a BCP 5th Grader? Quiz Show Fundraiser. Fifth-graders Selene Santos Gonzalez, Dwight Guyton Vivi Kaminaris, and Kayla Ward, all from Baltimore City schools, competed against local faces like Delegate Brooke Lierman, Fox 45’s “Traffic Jam Jimmy”, football player Victor Abiamiri, and City Schools official Alison Perkins-Cohen. After a contentious question about the Mississippi river, the competition eventually ended in a tie. All proceeds raised at the event will support the Baltimore Curriculum Project, a nonprofit that operates for neighborhood charter schools serving over 2,100 PreK-8th grade students in Baltimore City including City Springs Elementary/Middle School, Govans Elementary School, Hampstead Hill Academy and Wolfe Street Academy. “This year we celebrated two major milestones. BCP’s 20th Anniversary and the 70th Birthday of BCP Founder Muriel Berkeley,” said BCP President Laura Doherty.

The quiz show is part of BCP’s effort to shine a spotlight on the amazing young minds in Baltimore and raise money for ongoing efforts in improving the education system. Money was also raised for the Muriel Berkeley Innovation Fund, which will allow BCP to implement special pilot programs.

Haussner’s demolition scheduled, location to become apartment complex by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Demolition of the former Haussner’s building at 3244 Eastern Ave. is set to begin next month. In October of 2015, The Garver Development was approved to turn the location in apartment buildings. Abandoned for over ten years, the developers said that the building is in awful shape and practically falling apart. They said it will have to be completely razed before construction can begin. They said they are trying to salvage as much as the old ornate facade as possible, although it will be difficult due to the state of dilapidation. Parts of the old windows and the “stag bar” might be able to be recovered. In its place, an apartment complex with approximately 60 units and first-floor small retail spaces will be built. There will be a parking garage with one spot for every apartment unit. The complex will also have features like a green roof that will prevent stormwater runoff,

Recovery 4 Life

a “dog-walking balcony”, a gym, and new tree pits along Eastern Ave. and Clinton St. With an estimated price tag of approximately $10 million, the project is predicted to be completed by 2017. The Garver Development Group had presented several proposals to the Urban Design & Architecture Review Panel before this final one was eventually approved. During the planning process, the developers took feedback from residents on what to do to the historic location. Ownership of Haussner’s had passed through several hands over the past few years and the possibilities of its future ranged from apartments to a brew pub. Haussner’s had been a Highlandtown landmark for 73 years and was well-known for its food and pricey collection of fine art before serving its last meal in 1999 . Garver Development Group bought the property for $740,000 in the summer of 2015.

Brigance Brigade Championship Run races towards a world without ALS by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

While the viral trend of the “Ice Bucket Challenge” has passed, ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, still devastates the lives of thousands of people and their loved ones. Approximately 15 people are diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease every day. May is ALS Awareness Month and many organizations are using this as an opportunity to spread information about ALS and offer support, both financially and emotionally, to those battling the disease. For example, the Brigance Brigade Foundation will be hosting the BBF 5.7K Championship Run on Sunday, May 1 at Canton Waterfront Park. The proceeds will benefit the foundation, which works to make life easier for those with ALS. “Our mission is to equip, encourage, and empower people living with ALS and their families,” said Amanda Mummert, the Foundation’s Director. The Brigance Brigade helps improve the quality of life for those struggling with ALS by making essential and life-saving medications and equipment more accessible. The foundation also does resource guidance, fundraising, and support services. Mummert explained that one of the most important services a patient can have is an in-home caregiver. Since ALS is a disease that impacts the entire body, around-the-clock care is often required. “We’re seeing that a lot of people, such as family members, quit their job to care for the patient. It really is an act of love but it often means the family ends up in financial straights because they aren’t able to work and make money,” said Mummert. The caregivers are not only more knowledgeable in how to treat and comfort the patient in the best possible ways, but they also provide a support system for the family and a chance for them focus on themselves and their financial situation. The Brigance Brigade was created in 2008 by O.J. Brigance and his wife, Chanda. O.J. had had a successful 12-year career on the football field, including being on the Baltimore Raven’s Superbowl winning team in 2000. Once retiring, O.J. began to work in the Raven’s front office as the senior advisor of player development when his life was forever changed. He was diagnosed with ALS in 2007 after noticing a lack of strength and range of motion in his right arm. “A diagnosis such as this would rock anyone to the core. It was O.J. and Chanda’s faith that helped them find the strength to accept the diagnosis, and make the decision that the diagnosis would not define them. They would work through this with the

support of family and friends,” states the foundation’s website. Once O.J. began treatment, it became clear how expensive and exhausting it was to live with ALS. “He [O.J.] and Chanda realized it was devastatingly expensive and that they had a lot of blessings that many other people didn’t get to have,” said Mummert. Chanda and O.J. began to ask: What will happen to others in the same situation? Do the other people receiving this diagnosis know where to turn for information? Do they have the financial means to pay for the equipment, handicap accessible vans and everything else you need to live a quality life? This search for answers motivated the couple to create the foundation, and to help those who didn’t have the means and opportunities that O.J. had. Despite the diagnosis and subsequent hardships such as losing the ability to walk O.J. brigance and his wife Chanda created the brigance brigade Foundation in 2008 in order and talk, O.J. is still directly involved with the to make life easier for people struggling with ALS. Next week’s Championship Run will raise organization he helped create. He still works money and awareness for the cause. | Photos courtesy of the Brigance Brigade Foundation. for the Ravens’ front desk and is actively interacting with the patients that the foundation helps. “Everything I’ve seen from him and Chanda is true to life, they’re really talking the talk and walking the walk. It’s incredible,” said Mummert. “We’re very grateful to our supporters and sponsors and everybody that’s participating with us.” The Championship Run is 5.7K, or approximately 3.5 miles, because 57 was O.J.’s jersey number. If running isn’t really your thing, the event’s Celebration Village will have plenty of vendors, food, and live music from the local band, Victims of Experience. There will be a Kid’s Zone and a separate 1.57 Mile Run/ Walk for the more leisurely racers. Following the race, special guests such as former Raven’s players Michael McCleary, Tony Sargasso, and Jarret Johnson will make an appearance. Restaurants such as Tavern on the Square and Boathouse Canton are also offering discounts for who show up with racing bibs or medals. The foundation’s ultimate goal is a world without ALS. The Championship Run will kick off at 8 a.m. Runners can register that morning and on-lookers are encouraged to stop by and cheer the runners on.

Obituary

VERONICA MCCLURG

Keeping in touch with your high school friends after graduation is difficult. Keeping in touch with your high school friends for over seven decades is nearly impossible. However, this month, over a dozen former students of Patterson Park High School reunited and celebrated their 70th high school reunion. “We’ve been doing this for years and years,” said Anna Pitt, who helped organize the reunion. Every year, the sassy seniors meet up for lunch. At 88 years old, the alum

travel from all across the state for this tradition. Pitt has kept in touch with her former classmates through postcards. “I give them a pre-made postcard and they give me their names and addresses, so then all I have to do is put down the date,” she said. Pitt added that they always keep her updated on their lives. “Some of these girls here, we started in first grade together. Some of us have been together for so long,” she said.

(NEE GORALSKI)

On Sunday, April 24, 2016, Veronica (nee Goralski) McClurg peacefully passed away. She was preceded in death by her husband, William J. McClurg; son, Robert John McClurg; and siblings, Paul, Benjamin, Sylvester, Herman, Eugene, and Marion Goralski, Elizabeth McDonald, and Marie Shulz Rakowski. She is survived by her beloved daughter, Mary Margaret McClurg; only grandson, Justin Michael McClurg; daughter in law, Charlotte Marie McClurg; brother, Martin Goralski; sisters in law, Anna Marie Goralski and Christine Goralski; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was a proud parishioner of St. Stanislaus Church, until its closure. Mrs. McClurg rests at the family operated HUBBARD FUNERAL HOME, Inc., 4107 Wilkens Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21229 where her family will receive guests on Thursday, April 28, 2016 from 3-5 and 7-9 PM.

Will there be any O’s playing in the Mid-Summer Classic? Right now, yes. Mark Trumbo leads the AL in hitting with a .366 average (Manny Machado is second with a .360 average), but let’s focus on Trumbo right now. As I mentioned, Trumbo leads the AL in batting and his five home runs are two off the leaders Josh Donaldson and Colby Rasmus (and one less than Machado and Chris Davis). His 16 runs are the third most in the AL. I can see him getting in the game as an outfielder if he keeps this up. Now, on to Machado. Machado is second to Trumbo in batting but leads the AL in hits with 27 and his .415 on base percentage is third best in the AL. Not only is he crushing the ball this year, he is playing his usual stellar defense at third. He should be an All Star. What about Chris Davis? Maybe. He does have six home runs and 13 RBI and fans love power numbers, so he could find himself getting a spot. Even though he is batting only .215, his .363 on base percentage is pretty darn good, thanks to the 15 walks he has drawn so far this year. He stacks up nicely against other first basemen as well this year. While Joe Mauer leads the AL first basemen in batting with a .329 average, Mauer only has one home run. Other first basemen like Jose Abreu, Mark Teixeira and Miguel Cabrera have three home runs each and are not really off to hot

starts either, with Abreu batting .176, Teixeira batting .238 and Miggy batting .254, so Crush certainly has a shot. Adam Jones is always a fan favorite, and for good reason, but he is having a slow year so far. To be fair, he is battling injury issues, but hopefully he can get better soon and get back to his usual production. Even if he doesn’t, we still love Jones. As far as pitchers are concerned, I don’t think any of the O’s starters will get the nod, but Zach Britton might make it in as a reliever. While he has four saves (four behind the leader David Robertson) his 1.23 ERA is downright filthy, and his 0.68 WHIP is unreal. Darren O’Day could also find himself in the game thanks to his 0.00 ERA and his 12 strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings pitched. So while the season is still young, make sure you vote for your Orioles!
