A year after the unrest, SE faces rise in robberies and carjackings By gianna decarlo EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

During the week of the one-year anniversary of the riots and unrest, Baltimore has seen a high-profile spike in violence. One of the most shocking crimes was a shooting on the 3200 block of E. Baltimore St. on the evening of Tuesday, April 26th when 26-year-old Asia Brockington was gunned down. Brockington, a Patterson Park resident, was taking the trash outside when the suspect emerged from the alley and shot Brockington in the back. Captain George Clinedinst of the SEPD was hesitant to reveal too many details about the still-open case, but he did say that the shooting was not a random act. “There was a lot involved in that that goes way, way back,” he said about the incident. The police have one person of interest that they believe is a strong potential suspect. That same night, there were two other murders in the city. – CONTINUED ON PAGE 11 –

McDaniel on councilmanic primary victory and the campaign ahead

by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

On Tuesday, April 26, lawyer Matt McDaniel won the Republican nomination for the 1st district council seat that is being vacated by Councilman Jim Kraft. McDaniel was the first Republican to announce his candidacy, starting his campaign last August. He competed against two other Republicans for the nomination. He said that his campaign had been volunteer-based and community-driven since the beginning. They were less focused on fundraising and more focused on meeting people. “For me, my mantra was that the people had to meet the candidates face-to-face. I could not have had, no matter how great they are, somebody represent me and knocking on doors. It had to be me out there.” He does add that his knuckles are bruised from all the door-knocking he’s done and jokes that Southeast voters should invest in doorbells. “From a very early point in the campaign, we had written out policies and goals and thought about ways to make the district more successful,” he said.

Matt McDaniel with volunteers and supporters. | Photo courtesy of Matt McDaniel These policies have had a particular focus on increasing home ownership in Baltimore to encourage economic growth. Throughout the multiple candidates forums and debates, McDaniel had stressed the importance of lowering property taxes and growing the city’s job and tax base. He said that homeownership can create a sense of pride and responsibility in one’s community, along with helping the city grow in healthy ways. McDaniel said that the voters of the 1st District are relatively well-educated and wellinformed on the policies that will affect them. He said they didn’t want just political buzzwords and bullet points, they wanted wellthought out, long-term, and comprehensive plans. Among all this, the Southeast voters were open-minded, as they showed by electing Governor Larry Hogan, a Republican, despite being in a primarily Democratic state. “I think ownership, I think job opportunities, better schools, justice reform, I think those all are things that can appeal to Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. They’re issues we can all agree on. Those aren’t just Republican issues.” McDaniel will go head-to-head with the Democratic nominee, educator Zeke Cohen in the general election in November. McDaniel is quick to praise the other candidates, saying that all of them, even the Democrats, went out of their way to run a civil campaign. In the next six months, he said he will not run a campaign based around party-shaming but rather in-depth dialogue and conversations on the city’s problems and possible solutions.

He isn’t hesitant to criticize his own party, though. “The Republican party has failed the city multiple times by not giving people valid options in November. The party hasn’t really tried.” He added that since there isn’t a “Republican machine” in Baltimore, he isn’t beholden to any one group or one policy. He would be fully able to represent the interests of the people, he said. McDaniel said he will work to tackle complacency in government. He said that 1942 was the last year that a Republican seat on the Baltimore City Council and that a change could be what people need. “There are a lot of people here that are really fed up and they are begging for change all over the place. It’s stagnant,” he said about the government. “Heck, if we can stir it up a little, I think it can be good for everybody. It’s a question of giving people a viable choice.” McDaniel said that on voting day he spent all day outside the Hatton Senior Center in Canton campaigning and was shocked at all the support people gave him, even if they weren’t registered Republican. “There’s something really moving about that, that someone made a conscious and informed decision and chose you. It’s an awesome experience.” He laughs and said that he had gotten only ten hours of sleep the week leading into the election but is looking forward to the next few months ahead.

Cohen on councilmanic primary victory and the campaign ahead

by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Zeke Cohen with his volunteers and supporters. | Photo courtesy of Zeke Cohen I was talking to people on a first name basis and they knew my face and would see me out and go, ‘hey Zeke!’ That was the key. We built these early on and people learned and knew that I was going to be consistent and show up.” If elected, Cohen said that he would use his position to build a cohesive community that is concerned for all of the Baltimore, not just the 1st district. “The welfare of the people that live north of Fayette St. is fundamentally connected to our lives. We all prosper together or we all fail together,” he said. Cohen said that his experiences with his non-profit, the Intersection, allows him to work with people of diverse backgrounds. “Our message really resonated everywhere throughout the 1st.” Following his primary win, Cohen said he will use the months leading into the general election to listen to the people. “There’s a lot of power in stepping back from the campaigning and actually just listening to folks. There’s going to be a lot of interest in this race. My challenge is to energize my base and my people and really reach out across lines and expand that base of people,” he explained. During his campaign, Cohen held a ‘listening tour’ where he talked to local business owners, community leaders, developers, and residents about their concerns for the city.

“

We all prosper together or we all fail together.

“

On Tuesday, April 26, a former teacher and non-profit founder, Zeke Cohen won the Democratic nomination for the 1st district council seat that is being vacated by Councilman Jim Kraft. Cohen was the first candidate to run, announcing his campaign over a year ago. He said he made the decision before Councilman Kraft said he wouldn’t seek reelection. Instead of competing against Kraft, Cohen had to beat out five other Democrats for the seat. “The reason we won is that I think we’re in a moment in our city where people are looking for someone with the leadership experience and the foresight to be able to bring people together over lines of difference,” said Cohen. He described the community as being “palpably shaken” after last year’s unrest and said they wanted solutions to the problems that facilitated and promoted this violence. “The racial and class divides have never been more stark. You can either go one of two ways: further retreat and say build a wall around the community and make sure nobody else gets in. But the other is to say, look, these challenges are very deep and very complex and in order to solve them we need to care not only about ourselves but the larger community that is Baltimore.” Cohen said that announcing his candidacy so early did help him, as it allowed people to get to know him and create an infrastructure of volunteers and fundraiser. “I was able to create relationships that served me throughout the campaign, I had built relationships with so many people in the neighborhood and by the end of the campaign,

Half of City Council will be replaced this year as the eight newly elected members of the 14, including the winner of 1st district race, will be freshman. Cohen said he is “incredibly excited about the new energy” that will be brought to City Council. There are friendships between him and the new candidates that predate the election. By working together, he said they all will work to bridge the divides between the districts, ensuring cohesion, cooperative leadership, and eventual wide-scale changes. “The crazy thing is that we all won. That to me is the most exciting thing about this next iteration of our city. We have some brilliant young progressive champions coming in.” Cohen believes that the new City Council is the result of a re-energized, re-engaged and passionate about the potential of Baltimore. “The community wants leadership that works for the people and does the work they say they’re going to do.” For more about Cohen and his campaign, visit www.zekecohen.com.

High voter turnout in MD primaries where Pugh and Walden secure mayoral nominations by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

The Staff at Brenda’s sincerely thanks you for your business and appreciates your loyalty as our clients.

Happy Mother’s Day

Brenda, Bee, Cindy, Nicole and Maria Mayoral Candiate Catherine Pugh

Senate Candiate Chris Van Hollen

Catherine Pugh, the Majority Leader of the Maryland State Senate and the representative of the 40th district, won the Democratic mayoral nomination on Tuesday, April 26 after a close race with former mayor Sheila Dixon. The race was decided by less than 3,000 votes. “My message is being inclusive. My message is about lifting the least of us while we lift all of us,” said Pugh in her victory speech. “We are going to work together. We’re going to build great neighborhoods throughout the city.” Pugh, a three-term senator, took an early lead through early voting two weeks ago, which put her ahead of Dixon during the primary. “We’ve got to build on what this campaign stood for. It stood for love of the people of this city,” said Dixon in her concession speech. Lawyer Elizabeth Embry was third in votes with approximately 12%. Other candidates like social activist DeRay McKesson and businessman David Warnock trailed behind in the crowded field of Democrats. “It is my belief that everything I’ve done to this point has prepared me for this moment. We will move our city forward,” said Pugh. In total, her campaign raised over 1 million dollars since Pugh announced her candidacy in September of 2015. Former WBAL radio anchor Alan Walden won the Republican nomination with approximately 41% of the vote. Pugh and Walden will go head-to-head in the general election in November. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, in office since 2011, announced in September of last year that she would not be seeking reelection come November. While final numbers are still being tabulated, it appears that over 130,000 Baltimore residents

came out to vote despite problems with polling places and ‘I Voted’ sticker shortages. This is the highest voter turn-out for a Baltimore primary since 1999. This is almost double the number of voters who made it to the polls in 2011’s mayoral race. Rep. Chris Van Hollen won the Democratic nomination for the Maryland Senate seat that is being vacated by Senator Barbara Mikulski, defeating Rep. Donna Edwards. Van Hollen took an early lead in the race that was predicted to be more hotly contested than it ended up being. Van Hollen has been a congressman for seven terms and serves as the representative for Maryland’s 8th district. Throughout his campaign, he had picked up big name endorsements from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the Washington Post, and former mayor Martin O’Malley. The day after Van Hollen’s victory, Mikulski and Sen. Ben Cardin hosted a conference at Jimmy’s Restaurant in Fell’s Point to back Van Hollen against Republican state Delegate Kathy Szeliga for the Senate seat. “I’m comfortable not only handing over the reins but riding on the buckboard to help him to get elected,” said Mikulski at the news conference. Democrat Bernard C. “Jack” Young retained his position as City Council President, beating out activist Kim Trueheart, who still received a surprising 30% of the vote. Donald Trump won the Maryland Republican Presidential primary, defeating Senator Ted Cruz and Governor John Kasich, with over 54% of the vote. Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primary, defeating Senator Bernie Sanders by almost 30% of the vote.

The Gunther Brewing Company building at 3605 Toone St. will be reborn within the next few weeks as Gunther & Co., a new restaurant serving American cuisine with local ingredients. The restaurant, boasting 7000 square feet of room plus an outdoor patio, will serve “American dishes with a global twist.” Menu items will range from classic, like burgers and flatbreads, to refined, like green papaya salad with grilled shrimp and orangeglazed duck breast. They’ll also be serving brunch and a long list of craft cocktails. The walls which once held brewing machinery will now house a wine rack and a living “green wall” made of plants. While an opening day has yet to be pinned

down, Gunther & Co. is expected to be open within the next few weeks. The Gunther Brewing Company was over a dozen industrial-style buildings that produced almost a million gallons of beer a day nearly a century ago. This hoppy history is what gave the neighborhood the name ‘Brewers Hill.’’ The brewery was closed in 1978 and the building was given a historic designation in 2002. Virtually empty when purchased, the interior required extension repairs and over a year of negotiations and construction. The owners of Gunther & Co. also own 8407 Kitchen Bar in Silver Spring, MD.

Fell’s Point Corner Theatre: “Time Stands Still” shows the horrors and impact of war BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

The Fell’s Point Corner Theatre will conclude their 2016 season with “Time Stands Still”, a play that tells the story of Sarah, a tenacious war-zone photojournalist, played by Claire Carberry. Sarah is devoted to her job to a fault. She pushes herself past her limits in order to get the big story and that one perfect photograph. Sarah’s determination and singlemindedness lands her in trouble when she suffers multiple injuries after a road-side bomb explosion. Directed by Barry Feinstein, the play delves into the psyche of the main character as she tries to deal with all that she has seen once she returns to her Brooklyn home. The taut performance by the Fell’s Point Corner Theatre’s impressive cast allows you to see the turmoil of war through Sarah’s eyes, as if you’re looking through her camera lens, and how these experiences affect and hurt those around her. The emotionally gripping scenes play out between Sarah and her lover, who is trying desperately to make Sarah see that she is “addicted to danger.” The tensions between them

begin to bubble over, unveiling cracks in their relationships that only exacerbate Sarah’s problems. “At the heart of it all, we find a story about a troubled but committed relationship, the question of career vs. family, and the many forms of bravery,” states the Fell’s Point Corner Theatre. “Time Stands Still”, written by Donal Margulies, will run until Friday, May 6.

Cabaret performance hits the right notes and retells the history and cultural impact of musical theatre by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

The history of musical theater is so much more than jazz hands and glittery costumes. The lyrical and rhythmic traditions of musical theater acted as a springboard for almost every type of music we hear today. Joshua Hughes, a local vocalist, will outline over a century of musical theater history with a cabaret performance at Germano’s Piattini at 300 S. High St. on Friday, March 13. “What I love about musical theater is that it’s an expressly American art form. It was created in the United States and it’s something, like jazz, that was created here,” said Hughes. Currently studying Voice Performance and Pedagogy at Peabody Conservatory, Hughes said his cabaret will chronologically demonstrate the great changes and patterns within musical theater and how these changes were reflective of the culture and state of the world as a whole. “It really shows the huge difference in how musicals were constructed and the type of singing involved. It’s going to show a progression of styles.” For example, the first song performed will be a heavily operatic piece from 1905, a time long before musical theater as we know it came into existence. “At that time, Broadway was probably just a dirt road,” Hughes jokes. He explained that at the time, shows were just popular operettas strung together in a loose plot, much like today’s jukebox musicals. From there, the more-common “book musical” began to emerge during the 1920s and 30s. These are shows with a cohesive plot with a storyline and dialogue. In book musicals, the songs are not necessary to the plot, but rather add an extra level to the overall performance. With the advent of microphones and no longer needing the belt notes loud enough for those in the back rows, performers were allowed to be more creative with their voices and embrace more fluidity with notes and rhythms. This free-styling improvisation and musical flexibility eventually lead to the birth of jazz. “So much music theater, especially early music theater like George Gershwin and Cole Porter, is the repertoire of jazz standards. Most of the jazz standards you hear probably came from a musical.” Despite the variety of styles in music theater’s past, some patterns begin to emerge, which Hughes will highlight in his performance.

“Music theater is a great window into what the culture was at that time,” he said. For example, the musicals performed during the Great Depression were the complete antithesis of the “real world”. All tap-dancing and bright lights and color, this era of music was used as a distraction from the harsh realities that the audience had to see every day. “They just saw a bread line that was a block long and they didn’t want to see that on stage, they wanted to see glitz and glamour.” Musicals reached their apex in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, he said, when Stephen Sondheim was producing hit after hit and musical theater began to establish itself as an American tradition that was accessible to people of all backgrounds. These showy numbers eventually evolved into music theater as we know it in 2016. Although the most recent song Hughes will perform is from ‘The Producers’, created in 2000, he said it acts as a good transition into the stylings of modern musicals. “It also shows you the way that musicals starting going then. The Producers was a movie by Mel Brooks and then he turned it into a musical, and then they turned it into a movie again. You also see this with John Waters’ Hairspray.” This is a stark difference from musical theater’s beginning where songs were cobbled together into ridiculous plots. Now music was being added to pre-existing storylines. He referenced Hamilton, one of the biggest shows currently on Broadway , which has hiphop and rap influences in the music. This is another example of the culture creating music, Joshua Hughes will perform a century’s worth of musical theater classics with his cabaret and the music creating the culture.

CRIME: carjackings and robberies “The suspects watch us like we watch them. They know where we park,” Clinedinst explained. “We’re in a mad rush to get inside our house, we have groceries in our hands. What they will do is they will take a piece of metal or a stick and they will go to your passenger side after you’re already in the house and put that object under your door handle.” The wedged object prevents the car’s locking mechanism from working. “You hit the key fob and it goes beep beep, but it’s unlocked that entire time,” he said. He stressed the importance of securing your air conditioners now that the weather is heating up. Many burglaries happen when criminals push in air conditioners and gain entry to the location through the window. Clinedinst addressed the police-involved shooting on Wednesday, April 27, the one-year anniversary of Freddie Gray’s funeral, where a 13-year-old carrying a replica toy gun was shot when the plain-clothes officer thought the gun was real. The boy’s injuries are non-life threatening, said Police Commissioner, Kevin Davis. “Bottom line is, it’s a very unfortunate incident. It’s a danger that the citizens put themselves in and it’s also a danger that we have to deal with as police officers, because at the end of the day, we want to go home to our families and we can’t take that chance,” said Clinedinst about the case. The police department is currently instructing a new class of recruits with new training methods that include LGBT training and lessons on the history of Baltimore. “If our officers know those things, they’re better educated to talk to the citizens, we see complaints go down, use of force goes down, calls for service goes down and there’s a better understanding and knowledge between the officers and the citizens,” said Clinedinst who mentioned that when he was a recruit, he had to teach himself about the city. “We turned the tide a little bit when it comes to that, in terms of recognizing how we can get in front of some of these issues and prevent them from happening.”

“

The bottom line is I think as a community, we need to be more aware of our surroundings.

“

Clinedinst said that robberies are up in the 28 day period, as is typical when the weather begins to warm up. He added that the SEPD is ramping up and readjusting their robbery units to address this increase, as well as targeting certain areas where crimes seem to happen most frequently. The SEPD is also investing more overtime hours into robbery investigations. “We’re pulling out all the stops that we can and what’s available to us.” Clinedinst explained that the victims of these crimes are usually females who are walking alone. He reiterates the importance of alertness and said that suspects target victims who are distracted and using their phone. “The bottom line is I think as a community, we need to be more aware of our surroundings.” Along with robberies, the number of reported carjackings have increased all across the city as well. According to Clinedinst, a pattern they’re seeing is the ‘bump and rob’, where the suspects will purposely hit a car and then steal the vehicle once the victim is distracted and out of the car. These robberies are occurring all over the district at all times of the day. He said that police have identified the suspects as a “quasi-organized little clique” that commit these carjackings across the city. Clinedinst said the SEPD is working with the other departments downtown in order to “cultivate information” on this group. The carjackings have become more distressing since several recent cases involve the suspects driving off with the victim’s children still in the backseat. For example, on Sunday, May 1, a woman was placing her children in her car, located on the 400 block of N. Highland St., when she was pushed out of the way and had her car stolen by two suspects. Her young son was in the back seat of the car and the suspects abandoned him, and the victim’s car, two blocks away. These, naturally, are treated differently than normal carjackings, since the police have to change their tactics in order to guarantee the child’s safety above all else, said Clinedinst. Larceny from vehicles has also seen an increase, especially in the Patterson Park and Eastern Ave. areas. He warned residents against leaving their cars running and encouraged them to doublecheck that all their doors are locked. He pointed out trends in these burglaries, like suspects stealing tool boxes from work trucks. In general, doors should remain locked and valuables should be taken inside instead of remaining visible inside your car, which makes you an easy target.

By special sports correspondent Andy Mindzak

ranked Arrieta the 52nd best prospect in baseball before the 2009 season, so it wasn’t like he was a complete scrub. Anyway, the problem with Arrieta, which has been pretty well documented, was how the O’s tried to fit him into a mold of a pitcher. Baltimore’s pitching coach at the time, Rick Adair, didn’t like how Arrieta threw across his body and tried getting him to change his mechanics and also didn’t let him throw his cut fastball, something he has used with great success since being traded to Chicago. In Adair’s defense, he was doing that because Arrieta had a mass removed from his elbow and needed to be careful with that. Moving along, the ever so eloquent Stephen A. Smith then had this one last comment when he said, “…when you’re throwing balls in excess of 90 MPH on a consistent basis and we never see arm fatigue, that is a red flag.” Really? I will agree with part of Smith’s argument. PED’s such as steroids give you obvious strength, but their main benefit is recovery time. Recovery time and confidence. Arrieta has always been a confident player, and looking at his pitch velocity numbers, courtesy of Fangraphs.com, it would agree that his velocity has always been there. If you look at his sinker velocity in 2012, his minimum velocity was 90.1 MPH while his max was 96.3 MPH. In 2014, his cutter had a minimum velocity of 91.7 MPS while his max was 95 MPH. This year, both his fastball and sinker are not dipping below 90 MPH. While I honestly don’t think Arrieta is taking any PED’s I can see why people might question it. Seeing a pitcher this dominant is a rarity, but then again, if you are in the business over at ESPN, you should maybe do some homework where you would find out that the numbers you are spewing really don’t back your case. Since you also have no idea about baseball, maybe just stop talking? Please?

Unfounded accusations of PED use ESPN is a circus full of clowns. The other day on First Take, Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith were ripping into former Oriole Jake Arrieta by essentially accusing him of taking Performance Enhancing Drugs, although they did say that “Now we’re not accusing him”…but they went on for about five minutes essentially accusing him. Smith got the party started by being angered that Arrieta would laugh at the accusations: “First of all, I don’t find accusations of PED use funny at all. I don’t think it’s something that he should say he finds funny, but that doesn’t mean he’s guilty,” Smith said. Well, if he is, in fact, innocent, why can’t he laugh at the accusations? Smith then went on to pretend he knew what the heck he was talking about regarding Arrieta, making comments such as, “In 2012 if I remember correctly he got demoted to AAA by the Orioles.” The 75 innings he pitched in 2013 (75 1/3 to be precise) are only the innings he logged in the Majors between the Orioles and Cubs when he was traded along with Pedro Strop to the Cubs for Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger (I still get nightmares about that trade). So while he did pitch 75 1/3 innings in the Majors that year, he also pitched another 79 1/3 innings in AAA between Norfolk and Iowa. Those 23 2/3 innings Stephen A. was talking about were the innings he pitched for the Orioles. He immediately started to pitch well in Chicago. The remainder of 2013 Arrieta went 4-2 in 9 starts with an ERA of 3.66. Skip Bayless chimed in and stated that “…especially when somebody comes out of nowhere, and Jake Arrieta came out of nowhere.” So, he might not have been the first overall pick in the 2007 draft, but he was drafted in the fifth round of that 2007 draft and did earn a sizeable signing bonus which Skip does go on to mention. He fails to mention however that Baseball Prospectus
