Retired DEA agent announces run for city council seat BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
Ed Marcinko, a former DEA agent and community association president, has entered the race for 1st District councilman as a democrat. Marcinko said his campaign will focus on three major platforms: constituent services, small business, and education. He was born and raised and currently lives in the Fell’s Point area, a fact which he believes makes him an ideal candidate. “Serving the 1st District comes first. I was born and raised here, I grew up in this neighborhood. I’m from Fell’s Point, but I got tentacles all over the district, I’ve got deep roots.” He has served as president of the Upper Fell’s Point Improvement Association and vice president of the Fells Prospect Community Association. For his first platform, constituent services, he references his recent alley-gating project which promoted gating alleys that have CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Celebrating timeless homes that have housed generations by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
On Saturday, August 8, Baltimore Heritage celebrated 10 families who have lived in the same house for over 100 years. These homes are part of the Centennial Homes program which was developed by Councilman Jim Kraft and Baltimore Heritage to celebrate the enduring families of the city. Each family was awarded a plaque that can be placed outside their home. Kraft said he was inspired to start the program by stories he heard while canvassing from “little old ladies” about the rich history of their homes. The ceremony was held at City Hall and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake attended and said a few words about the importance of such landmarks. One of the families honored was the Pente family who has lived at 222 South High Street in Little Italy since 1904. The Pente household became the first Centennial Home when the program was launched in 2009. John Pente, the family’s patriarch, was deeply involved in the Little Italy community. In fact, movies are projected on his home during the Little Italy Open Air Film Festival. And, there’s even a plaque on the house from the community thanking them for all they have done. Pente passed away in 2010, but his family continues the film screening tradition. The Highlandtown neighborhood was represented by the homes of the Oswinkle, Moran, and Watkins families. Lee Watkins IV and his wife, Diana Alonzo, purchased his grandmother’s house in 2007. Watkins had so many fond childhood memories in the house, so he needed it to stay within the family. The house was quite dilapidated and required many repairs. Now, it’s back in tip-top shape for their son. Roland Moskal, a contributor to the Baltimore Guide, owns a house Fait Avenue in Canton which has been in his family for over 110 years. Mary Butts and her family’s home at 2806 E. Baltimore Street joined the program last year, representing Patterson Park. Butts was involved in the community, organizing fundraising events and serving as vice president of the Baltimore-Linwood Neighborhood Association and project coordinator for the Banner Neighborhoods. “These families have anchored Baltimore’s historic blocks and neighborhoods through good times and bad. Their stories show the changes that our communities and our city have experienced as well as the critical roles
that neighborhoods and their families have played in keeping historic neighborhoods thriving,” states the Baltimore Heritage website. The celebration at City Hall brought together these families. Those honored ranged from older residents who were alive at the time their home was built, to children who will hopefully continue the traditions as they grow. Barbara Baynes lives in a Centennial Home on Kenwood Avenue which was bought by her family in 1912. Baynes said the house cost around $1500. She said that as she grew up she had over a dozen family members living just a few blocks from her. Now, she is using the status of her home to encourage young people coming into Canton to understand the history and stories of their neighborhoods. Other Centennial Homes in Overlea, Federal Hill, Waverly and Hollins Market, were also honored. In order for a home to become a Centennial Home, it must have been owned and inhabited continuously by members of the same family for at least one hundred years. The line of ownership from the first family member owning the building to the current owner may be through children, siblings, nephews or nieces, cousins, marriage, or adoption. For more information on the families and homes in the Centennial Homes program and the Baltimore Heritage organization, visit baltimoreheritage.org/centennial-homes.

App promotes eating locally while saving money City Dining Cards is a mobile app that allows you to save money when dining at local restaurants that launched at the end of July. The way it works is when you visit one of the 52 businesses on the “cards”, you have the option to save $5 or $10 off your bill. When each transaction is complete, you get a chip on your account. Once you accumulate 12 chips, you join the High Roller Club and get a free $20 gift card to any of the restaurants in the app. “We support locally owned restaurants in Baltimore by answering the age old question: ‘Where should we go out to eat tonight?’” said Will Glass, the vice president of sales for City Dining Cards. Glass also said the goal is to feature businesses that represent the culture of the city and allow everyone from locals to tourists to experience the best Baltimore has to offer. He says City Dining Cards wants to make every week seem like Restaurant Week. “We have restaurants that come to us to be a part of City Dining Cards, but we also go to them if we know they’re a place in which our customers will be interested. We’re looking for a top 50 of restaurants in each city. And that doesn’t mean the most expensive or the most fancy, but the ones that represent the city and what the people like,” he said. Some of the Southeast businesses participating in City Dining Cards are Of Love and Regret, Ten Ten, Canton Dockside, Verde Pizza and Dangerously Delicious Pies. “The whole thing is to promote eating locally and locally owned restaurants,” said Glass. Glass lives in Canton and is working with a company in Buffalo to expand City Dining Cards to other cities such as Toronto, Philadelphia, and Boston.
5K Registration– $30 before September 25 $35 after September 25 1-Mile Walk Registration– $15 Fund-raising will benefit the Johns Hopkins Burn Center Community Outreach and Education Programs.

having memory problems? | Photo by Gianna DeCarlo
City Dining Cards was originally a physical deck of cards that featured the 52 restaurants. After a survey of users, the biggest complaint was that people often left the cards at home. “So with this feedback, we thought let’s develop an app instead,” Glass said, mentioning that everybody always has their phone on them. Converting the cards to electronic form is more convenient and now, it’s cheaper. The app is completely free to download and use, while the deck of cards previously cost $20. City Dining Cards is holding a launch party called “Taste of City Dining Cards” on Wednesday, September 16th at the Mt. Vernon marketplace. Twelve restaurants will be there, serving samples of their most popular dishes. To RSVP, visit tasteofcitydiningcard. eventbrite.com. City Dining Cards is currently only available as an iPhone app, but an Android version is in development. To download or for more information, visit www.citydiningcards.com.

PPNA to get charter school students involved in community by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
The Patterson Park Neighbors Association is hoping to join forces with the students at Patterson Park Public Charter School for the greater good. At their monthly meeting, PPNA discussed ways to get the children involved in the neighborhood and how they can provide educational opportunities for them. PPNA president Leigh Peterson showed a video made by PPPCS students which won the Take Action Against Distraction video contest run by Safe Kids Worldwide. She said their video about how to safely cross the street demonstrated the passion, intelligence, and drive of the students. “The idea is that we’re stronger together and they can help us but that also we can give help the kids by giving them some experience,” said Peterson. Peterson also said that she wants to create an equally beneficial relationship. One of the most common suggestions was creating a mentorship and shadowing program by organization members for students. Liz Obara, the community school organizer for PPPCS, supported the idea. “I got excited over the idea. It’s important
for students to have a personal connection with the community and the people in it, as well as mentorship and shadowing opportunities that will help further their career aspirations,” she said. Obara said that the experience will need to be “interactive” to allow the children to be fully engaged in what they’re doing. Amongst the positivity was some criticism when residents expressed concerns over PPPCS and a lack of communication between school officials and neighbors. The neighbors said they were never informed that the school would start accepting pre-school students. They also maintained that the increase in population resulted in more traffic, trash, noise, and even school buses side-swiping vehicles. Obara said that the lines of communication need to be reevaluated and the school will work on that. One suggestion was a newsletter for parents. With the talk of the newsletter, Kim Wiggins from the park’s Greening Committee suggested allowing the students to contribute to the newsletter, either through layout design or actual feature writing.
Children could help pass out the newsletters block-by-block or even help bake cookies for the welcoming committee, she said. Melanie Bricker is a new resident of Patterson Park and referenced her time living in Philadelphia and their youth task forces. She said that the city recruited young people for a task force that focused specifically on littering and trash clean-up. “Volunteers from a younger generation have lots of energy and don’t get burned out on projects as adult volunteers do,” Bricker said. “We made a measurable impact in a short amount of time. Adults speaking to adults is not as effective as a kid speaking to a parent.” Jen Robinson, the executive director of Friends of Patterson Park, voiced her support. “We need to start small and start strong,” she said. “We should implement a pilot program or a leadership elective that teaches the kids about volunteering and advocacy.” Robinson then talked about an initiative of Friends of Patterson Park called Take 5. Take 5 encourages residents to do five seemingly small, acts that will benefit the park, such as picking up five pieces of trash.
She suggested that the children host a showand-tell where they share their experiences with Take 5. PPPCS has students from pre-school to 8th grade. The PPNA will keep neighbors updated on what they decide. For suggestions on how PPPCS can get involved with PPNA or feedback on the above suggestions, e-mail Leigh Peterson at president@pattersonpark.com.

Raising the woof: Creative Alliance celebrate four-legged friends BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
On Saturday, August 8, the Creative Alliance celebrated man’s best friend with a Dog Days of Summer block party. The perfectly poochy party was the opening reception for the Creative Alliance’s Best in Show: Pet-Inspired Art from Our Community exhibit. The exhibit features art from Southeast residents which exemplifies the special bond we all have with our pets. The exhibition will run until Sunday, August 16th on the second floor of the Creative Alliance at 3134 Eastern Avenue. One of the artists featured is Lauren Berry, whose vibrant and colorful paintings showcase the personalities behind those furry faces and cold noses. “Animals have such distinct personalities, and it’s a really fun endeavor to try and capture them in two dimensions—especially since we, as pet owners, tend to view our pets as furry four-legged people. For me, painting pets and animals is an opportunity to creatively blend their characteristics with what most people would consider human qualities,” she said. Berry is inspired by her companion a particularly photogenic French bulldog named Donut. “Most of the paintings I’ve done are inspired by pets near and dear to my heart. Having spent time with a pet, whether it be someone else’s or my own, really helps me draw from their behavior. A particular quirk, like, or dislike, can be a great inspiration,” said Berry. Berry had lived in Canton but recently
relocated to Mt. Vernon. She said that Canton has a great community for and of pet-owners. She has made many friends just from walking Donut down the street. For Donut, and all the other pets represented in art, the love between them and their owners is obvious. “It sounds so cliché, but Donut really has been the embodiment of unconditional love. As dependent as he is on me for survival, I am equally if not more appreciative of his ability to brighten my day. He’s always just happy to be at my side,” she said. This unconditional love of pets helped make the event a tail-wagging success. Kiddie pools filled with tennis balls and dog-friendly popsicles, complete with a rawhide stick, by Picnic Pops helped beat the heat. Face-painting, a balloon artist who seemed to specialize in canines, and a Build-Your-Own puppy ear headband stand entertained the kids. The Haute Dog food truck and Flying Dog Brewery provided refreshments for the adults. People flocked to the Puppy Playpen by Pitties and Purrs, a local animal rescue, to ooooh and ahhhh over pit bull puppies, Jill and Kelly. The block party then lead to an outdoor screening of the comedy, Best In Show. For more information on the Best In Show art exhibit, visit www.creativealliance.org/ events/2015/best-show-pet-inspired-art-ourcommunity.
Precious pups and furry friends were on display at the Dog Days of Summer block party. The event drummed up excitement for the Best In Show petinspired art exhibit which included Lauren Berry’s dapper piece, “Winston”. | Photos by Gianna DeCarlo

Chris Davis goes out with a bang If this is the end of the road for Chris Davis in Baltimore, it’s turning out to be a great end. With Davis’ contract up at the end of the season, odds are he will find a suitor elsewhere that will pay him what he is looking because let’s be honest, Peter Angelos doesn’t like to give away his money. Davis had a decent start to the season as he hit 19 HR by the All Star break although his .235 batting average left much to be desired. Since the break, well, it’s been a different story. Since the All Star break, Crush has returned. In 21 post-break games Davis is batting .305 with 10 home runs and 28 RBI, and his .720 slugging percentage is off the charts. During a three game stop in Oakland, Davis hit two home runs and drove in seven with four of those RBI coming on a tenth-inning grand slam to give the O’s a 7-3 win last Wednesday. Over his last seven games, Davis is batting .333 with four home runs and nine runs batted in. Since coming to Baltimore from Texas during the 2011 season Davis has hit 142 HR with his best season coming in 2013
when he batted .286 with a league-leading 53 HR and 138 RBI. Last season was a bit of a down year as he batted .196 in 127 games while striking out a scary 173 times but he did still hit 26 HR. His 143 home runs are the 14th most in Baltimore history, and he could pass Chris Hoiles before the end of the season for 13th alltime. Davis is making $12 million this season and is almost at 30 HR on the season. With 30 HR power tougher to come by these days, Davis looks to earn a decent pay-day despite his penchant for near 200 strikeout totals. Interestingly enough, this season Davis has hit right-handed pitching harder with 23 of his home runs coming against them, but he is still batting .288 against lefties this year, proving he is not completely useless against lefties like many other left-handed first basemen. Davis also has a slick glove at first and can also play the outfield. With him turning 30 at the beginning of next season, he can probably score a four year deal pulling in around $17 - $18 million a season. I think he would be worth it, but try telling Peter Angelos that.

The city has this alley gating program all because I didn’t take no for an answer,” said Marcinko. As the councilman, Marcinko said he will work to unify the neighborhoods, creating one cohesive force instead of divided areas fighting separate battles. He spoke about the “fight for roads” that took place in Canton in the 1960s where the city banded together against the construction of a highway through the area. “When I hear about the process of the city wanting to take away a curb lane on Aliceanna St., I remember those days and how as a community you galvanized and joined one another to fight the issues,” he said. He wants to hold conference calls between the Southeast’s community associations so they can connect and solve problems together. He said he will work to give the citizens the help they need, regardless of how small the problem may seem to be. “That’s the reason I got into law enforcement,” he said, talking about his 20 years in the DEA. “I remember my mom always told me, she said ‘Edward, you help people before yourself’. I think about that saying and it’s so true. I believe in helping people, in constituent services.” He describes his time as a DEA agent where he “got paid for answering his phone” and working all day and all hours. He said as councilman, you must be willing to do so too. Marcinko said his willingness to do so sets him apart from the other candidates. “In this district and how it’s growing, you need to be a full-time councilperson. The other people that are running want to do this parttime, and I so disagree because we have problems and I believe in being proactive instead of reactive.” Marcinko said his father owned a local barber shop, which showed him the importance of small businesses. He wants to bring more to the Southeast by reducing their taxes and minor privilege fees. “We’ve got to entice small business. We’ve got to get them to come to this district, and not just Fell’s Point or the tourist areas, but all areas. Small businesses are the backbone of the district in my opinion.” He wants to give these businesses time to expand and develop a customer base before they pay. He also wants to direct these businesses to underdeveloped areas, as opposed

Ed Marcinko | Photo by Tom Scilipoti to the waterfront community. “They’re taking a bigger chance. Somebody is going to build on the waterfront whether you tax them or not. Let’s give the other part of the city a chance to develop like we are,” he said. He then spoke about his educational platform. He said he was inspired by his time running the Upper Fell’s Point Association. Marcinko said that he watched members of the group form an education committee and appoint a community organizer to Wolfe Street Academy. The committee worked with the students, parents, principals, and surrounding businesses to improve the school. With this, he said Wolfe St. should be a model of how schools in the city are run. He wants each school to have their own organizer. “Each school is different. Each population is different. The community organizer will look at populations, look at the students, and will figure out what they’re having problems with.” Marcinko’s method for drumming up support is canvassing the neighborhood, going door to door to explain his positions to residents. “I’ve never seen somebody canvas as much as he has. He’s done thousands of homes,” said Sam Fisher, Marcinko’s campaign manager. “I give him a list or 300, 400 people and before I get a chance to put more on it, he’s already finished the list. He’s a machine, he loves meeting people.” “I like the new people that are coming into the district and they’re bringing in new blood, new vision. I like that because I want them to raise their families like I was raised. I don’t want them to come here for 3 years, party, and then leave. Let them get married here, raise kids here,” said Marcinko. He says the Southeast is thriving and believes he can push it in the right direction. “This isn’t about Ed Marcinko, it’s not my agenda. My agenda is my constituent’s agenda. It’s about what you want and what can I do to help you.” For more information on Marcinko and his platform, visit www.edmarcinko.com.
