Lawyer runs for 1st district council seat BY GIANNA DECARLO

EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Mark Edelson, a lawyer from Canton, has joined the race for the 1st district councilman position. “The first district is such an interesting place with a mix of businesses and demographics that we have and the ability we have to have long-term growth that can spread to the rest of the city and really help solve the problems the city has. For me, the way to do that is about creating an environment where our local businesses can really thrive and provide an outlet for the community,” said Edelson. One of his main concerns is to ensure the success of local start-ups. He said that businesses often begin in Baltimore but go to other cities because of a lack of opportunities and local support. He said they have many issues with zoning and permits and that there are not enough affordable commercial spaces and skilled potential employees. He calls this a “missed opportunity” in expanding the variety of startCONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Democratic 1st district council hopefuls gather for candidate forum by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

On Thursday, August 13, Tavern 148 hosted a candidate forum for all five of the Democratic candidates running for the first district councilman. The event was hosted by Tavern 148’s owner, Corey LaPrade. “I thought other people might be curious about who is running, so it’s an opportunity to see and talk to everybody. I think our neighborhood is really transitioning, with more young people who should care about this and this will help generate people’s interest,” said LaPrade. He also said that it is crucial that residents know the candidates so they have a better idea of who to vote for in the 2016 primaries “Their backgrounds are very diverse, which you wouldn’t know if you looked at them. People need to hear their stories to understand where they stand,” he said. First were opening statements. Each candidate was asked what they believed was the most critical issue the district faced. “The amount of violence in Baltimore is unacceptable and we need to deal with it. In the short-term, we need to change the way we’re policing, we need to adopt community policing and see the officers walking the street like they did back in the day,” said Zeke Cohen, a non-profit director. He said he would combat violence by promoting smart public investment in early childhood education which would reduce youth incarceration. Next was Mark Edelson, a lawyer, who said he would focus on the lack of opportunities for the local community and for businesses looking to expand. “Opportunities for kids to genuinely feel

like they are a part of the community, when they leave school they have somewhere to go and in the summer they have a place to learn and for recreation. We need to be working as a community to bring those opportunities to everybody. It needs to be through businesses and through the public sector,” he said. Lawyer and Army veteran Scott Goldman’s opening statements were on the failure of the local government. The government, he said, was “ineffective” and needs to be fixed to better serve the constituents. “You see it [the failure] in the simple things, in what we consider small issues like trash in the streets or the rats that eat that trash, to the more serious stuff like the crumbling infrastructure. We need confident disciplined leadership to get things done,” said Goldman. Mark Parker, a pastor, agreed with Cohen that a solution for violence and crime was needed. “We’re all connected and when things really get bad we really see how closely we’re tied to each other. The biggest challenge is that a 100 of our police officers have quit or retired since April. So, short-term, the goal is to increase recruitment to fill those needs.” He said the city needs to invest in the police force and economic opportunities for the city’s youth. He said that the community needs to be empowered to stand up for itself. Retired DEA agent Ed Marcinko said the biggest concern is the economic disparity. He said that while the waterfront community is thriving, other parts of the city are being left behind. By expanding our interest in small business, a positive change will resonate throughout all of Baltimore, he said. “In other parts of the city, they don’t have it

as great as we do,” he said. “This district is very good, but we have to fine-tune it. The status quo is just not working anymore. We need new change, new vision, new leadership.” A Q&A session followed the opening remarks. What public leader, past or present, do you look up to? Cohen: My fiancee, Reena Edelson: Nelson Mandela Goldman: Abraham Lincoln Parker: Theodore McKeldin Marcinko: Bill Gates What is your favorite restaurant in the district? Cohen: Matthew’s Pizza Edelson: Cardinal Tavern Goldman: Darbar Parker: Samos Marcinko: Any place they have wings and nachos. What is the theme song of your campaign? Cohen: “Let’s Get It On” -Marvin Gaye Edelson: “Eye of the Tiger” -Survivor Goldman: “Right Now” -Van Halen Parker: “The Best is Yet to Come”-Frank Sinatra or “Canticle of the Turning” -Rory Cooney Marcinko: “Don’t Back Down” -Tom Petty What is the hidden treasure of the district? Marcinko: small coffee shops, neighborhood bars, and treasured parks throughout the district Parker: ethnic diversity Goldman: the courtyard in Fell’s Point next to Sofi’s Crepes. Edelson: my neighbors Cohen: Patterson Park Dry Cleaning and Laundry.

What is one thing we would be surprised to learn about you? Cohen: My nickname is Zoomer. Edelson: I was the TV news anchor of my high school’s live TV news broadcast. Goldman: In college, I had a giant red beard and really long hair. Parker: Habla Espanol por veintidós anos. (I have spoken Spanish for 22 years) Marcinko: I’ve been an alter server at Catholic masses since 1967. Before the forum, each candidate chose a question about a major issue. First was Cohen who was asked about improving public safety and addressing violence. “I would shift the way we’re policing. The war on drugs have not worked and we need a new tactic with a focus on building community,” said Cohen. He wants police to get out of their cars and engage with neighbors and walk beats. He called for more coordination between the mayor, the District Attorney and the police commissioner. The ultimate goal is to increase the amount of trust between citizens and their police, he said. Both Marcinko and Parker were asked about improving transportation. Marcinko said that an update to the transportation system was desperately needed since the routes were originally built in the 1950s. “We have to focus on where people live, where they want to go, and where they work,” he said. This could be remedied with new bus routes to more populated places such as Hopkins and Canton Crossing. Parker agreed and said that the MTA needs to be held accountable and truly work toward serving the people that use it. He suggested expanding the Charm City Circulator to Canton. He believes this would not only help

commuters but benefit local small businesses as well. On the topic of small businesses, Goldman said that, in the short term, the city needs to eliminate the minor privilege fees that small businesses pay. He said they hinder growth and discourage new companies from coming to the district. “We need to bring together all the resources, all the ideas to make sure that the long-term fundamental problems of inequality and violence get solved, only then are small businesses going to succeed,” said Goldman about a long-term plan. Edelson added that small businesses need opportunities, in commercial spaces and potential employees, to thrive. ‘We need to be a community that creates an opportunity for every single person in our community. We can look at all the issues we have, or we can say ‘this is an opportunity for us to come together and say no more. Baltimore deserves better. We’re all standing here because we love this city and we need to band together to create the opportunities we all need,” he said. This forum is likely to be the first of many for the candidates.

FalaFelicious: A new restaurant specializing in falafel is opening soon in Canton Crossing at 3721 Boston St. This small “kiosk” has been empty since the closing of Farmstead Shack, the more casual companion to Farmstead Grille. Bill Irvin is the owner of Falafalicious and has previously worked at Manor Tavern, an American bistro in Monkton, Maryland. “With demand for more health conscious, nutritious meals, people are starting to realize they have to care about what they eat. I am meeting that demand by offering a vegetarian focused menu with wholesome products that are good for you and taste great,” said Irvin. Falafel is made of deep-fried chickpeas or fava beans. It’s usually completely vegan which is a type of food that isn’t well represented in the Southeast. Irvin said they’ll serve hummus which will be vegan as well. Falafelicious will only offer outdoor seating. When asked about the winter months, Irvin said, “We will have heat lamps and fire pits to help keep you warm. Think of it like a ski lodge without the hot tubs.” “After trying so many average falafel, I have decided to go head first into making the best falafel in Baltimore,” said Irvin on his Facebook page. The falafel dishes can be accompanied by a pita bread, wrap, or salad base and a variety of sauces and fillings at a build-it-yourself ingredient bar.

Along with falafel, the restaurant will serve kabobs, gyros, and other authentic Indian dishes. They’ll also have a diverse menu of wines and beers. Irvin said that he has a good amount of tastetesting to do, so bring your appetites. Falafalicious is expected to be open in early September. For more information and updates, visit their Facebook page at www.facebook. com/bmorefalafelicious. Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: Another unique future hot spot opening up shortly is Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, a barbecue chain from Syracuse, New York. Their 10th and most Southern location will be at 1401 Fleet St. in Fell’s Point. It is slated to open in September, according to their website. The restaurant, already popular among New Yorkers, is known for it’s homemade spices, sauces, and rubs. Their menu features, naturally, barbecue, as well as Southern items with a quirky twist, like poutine with pulled pork and fried green tomatoes with homemade pimento cheese. “This location will bring Dinosaur’s “Good Smoke” barbecue, local and regional craft beer and vibrant atmosphere to the Charm City when doors open later this year,” states the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que website. The other locations are in New York, Connecticut, Chicago, and New York. The new joint is also hiring, so if you’re a baron of barbecue and a sultan of smoke, visit their website at www.dinosaurbarbeque.com.

Charitable quest brings South Carolina man to Living Classrooms BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Chris Strub is taking the idea of a summer road trip to a new extreme. Strub is visiting all 50 states in 100 days while volunteering at local youth-based organizations. His journey brought him to Baltimore on Friday, August 8. He volunteered at Fell’s Point’s Living Classrooms Foundation, which provides life skills and opportunities for the city’s youth. “I also know it’s been a trying summer for the city of Baltimore, so I’m really excited to bring some positive energy and some muchneeded good news to town. Maryland will be State 46 of 50, I can see the finish line quickly approaching,” said Strub. He was put to work quickly by Living Classrooms, hunching over in the heat to sand and stain a wooden planter box. The boxes are part of Living Classroom’s Fresh Start Leadership Project. “Fresh Start is a workforce development program that we developed that uses carpentry and woodworking to engage them in the program,” said Rebekah Meyer, the director of community outreach for Living Classrooms. The planters will either be donated to Patterson Park for a back-to-school field day raffle or given to residents at the Perkins home development. Meyer calls it one step of a neighborhood “beautification project.” Strub took a similar trip across the country last summer, visiting 48 states but not doing any volunteering. “When that trip ended, I thought about how I could get around the country and visit all 50 states but I wanted to try to make a positive

difference in the places I was visiting,” he said, sweating as sawdust filled the air around him. This and his time volunteering at Pay Away the Layaway, a non-profit in his home state of South Carolina that raises money to pay off families’ layaway plans, helped inspire his mission. “That basically changed my whole mindset. It was the coolest thing I ever felt by far. I was like, ‘man, that was great. How can I replicate that feeling all around the country?’” He travels state-to-state in his trusty Honda Accord which is covered in signatures from the organizers and workers he’s gotten to know, He said he encourages them all to write a piece of advice to young people on it too. He jokes and calls the trip “speed dating for the states”, where he can get a small taste of what each state has to offer before moving on to the next one. As short as his time in one place is, Strub said he values every experience and that they all are memorable in their own way. “Sometimes those experiences that you feel didn’t go as smoothly are the most valuable to the youth you worked with because some of these kids are really bright and happy to see you, but a lot of them aren’t. A lot are reticent and you try to get them to open up,” he said. “That’s the crazy part of visiting 50 youth organizations is you have to be laughably adaptable to whatever is thrown at you on any given day. Today, I threw the gloves on and got to sanding, yesterday I was taught how to dance the Robot.” Strub documents his trip on a GoPro and through social media like Snapchat and Twitter. He interviews the volunteers he works with and uploads the videos on YouTube to help spread the word on the importance of volunteerism. “Volunteers are the essence of all of these organizations that I’ve worked with. Everyone I worked with could use more volunteers. Volunteers are absolutely vital to what they do and it’s been interesting to see how all these organizations use volunteers in different ways. The best organizations take advantage of the strengths of their volunteers and encourages them to come in and give back in ways that they’re accustomed to or used to doing in their every day lives.” Strub will conclude his charitable road trip on Friday, August 21 in North Carolina.

What a difference a month makes! The Baltimore Orioles found themselves in an offensive sleep-walk during the month of July but have seem to have gotten themselves out of that funk in August. July was brutal. There is no other way to say it. The O’s went 11-14 during that month and scored only 93 runs in 25 games, or about 3.72 runs per game. That’s pretty bad for a team with one of the best offenses in the game. In June, the O’s went 18-10 and scored 148 runs in 28 games which is good for an average of 5.28 runs per game. August is looking to be more like June than July as the O’s have scored 74 runs so far in their 14 August games, which equates to 5.28 runs per game. Even though they were no-hit last week, they are fresh off a four game sweep of the Oakland Athletics and have been scoring runs like an offense like theirs should be scoring. As a team, they are batting .276 in August, a vast improvement over their .233 July batting average. Their .801 OPS this month is by far their best month, besting their .785 in

June if they can keep that pace up. Leading the charge is Chris Davis who is batting .339 in August with nine home runs and 19 RBI. Adam Jones has also been providing some pop, crushing five home runs and driving in 13. Even backup catcher Caleb Joseph has been bringing the power with his four home runs and 12 RBI. Jonathan Schoop has been hitting well also, batting .400 this month and Manny Machado is batting .333 this August with four doubles and three home runs. On the other side of the ball, Wei-Yin Chen has been solid on the mound going 2-0 in his three August starts with a 2.95 ERA. Thanks to their recent surge, they now own the final Wild-Card spot and would face off against the Toronto Blue Jays if things held in place. If they want any shot of making the playoffs in a tight AL East race, their offense needs to live up to its expectations and continue to score runs. Otherwise, the offseason will come much sooner than hoped at Camden yards.

EDELSEN: Run for City Council up businesses in the city. “So many of these business leaders that I speak with say to me that their whole business model is based on making a product that makes the people in the community’s lives better. Whether it’s a mobile medical device, or software apps, or cyber security, that’s the business model. They desperately want to be a part of the city and want to be involved in making it better but they feel completely disenfranchised and don’t feel like the city wants to bring them into the mix and have them help,” he said. “You really need to have a public sector that is a partner in the growth, there has to be a system in which the zoning code is more streamlined. The permitting process has to help companies doing this type of thing.” As businesses expand, he said that educational and job opportunities for the city’s youth will grow as well. He also said he will push these start-ups to hire and train students. Edelson’s other platform is improving public transportation. He will push for making transportation more electronically accessible. “It’s got to be on your phone. It has to be smartphone accessible, like how the Circulator works. We have to have that for every form of transportation,” he said. Edelson has worked with urban planners and architects to figure out the most densely populated and heavily trafficked areas. With this knowledge, he said he will work to improve it with more rapid transit buses, better bike routes, and a Circulator system that comes to the east side of the city. Another way is to utilize the water taxis. “It’s a fantastic, efficient form of transportation that we should be using for commuters. It should be going from Canton to Fells Point, to Federal Hill, to downtown, every ten minutes between 6-8 a.m. and 6-8 p.m. It will cut out a significant amount of parking, traffic, and frustration that people have sitting in their car.” Edelson believes this will also act as an incentive for young business owners to relocate to Baltimore. Next, he addresses safety. “There has to be a safer environment for us to enjoy our neighborhoods, our parks, our waterfront, our businesses. The way we achieve that is a system in which everybody feels valued and that they have the opportunities for success and that they can trust and build relationships with our local officers,” he said. Edelson wants the police to have to walk beats and interact with civilians. He believes this will improve trust between the community and the police force while making the city safer for pedestrian traffic. Edelson was born in South Africa and his

family relocated to Atlanta, Georgia when he was 15. “It was a huge sacrifice on their part, purely for me and my sister to have a better opportunity for education and for the family to stay closer together,” he said. He moved to Baltimore in 2007 to go to law school at the University of Maryland. He is currently employed by a law firm that he said works to establish a long-term relationship with their clients. His time in South Africa and the work of Nelson Mandela have inspired his policies and his views on what leadership should be. “Growing up in post-apartheid South Africa, I lived in a time where opportunities were absolutely not equal for everybody and we required true leadership to either have the country slip into what could’ve been a bloody civil war or to forge a new path into a transformative and socially conscious country,” he said. Edelson said that his immigration story can connect to the diverse communities of the Southeast. “I think it resonates and it’s sincere. It is that same story. One of the things that makes me different from the other people running is that I’m not from here. So many people themselves are immigrants or are the children of immigrants and can relate to the journey I’ve taken.” Edelson will run against multiple other contenders for the democratic position during the primaries in April of 2016. “The real focus of what I want to do is about creating a real local ecosystem for businesses which ties into transportation reform, it’s all one piece. At the end of the day, it improves the quality of life for the community. And to me, that cohesive community is the ultimate goal.” For more information on Edelson and his platform, visit www.electedelson.com.
