Mayor’s cabinet attends meeting about 1st district BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

On Thursday, August 20, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and the heads of her agencies hosted a Cabinet in the Community meeting for the 1st District at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School. “We all know that the last few months for this city have been extremely rough for everyone and it’s really testing the resolve of our city. I was just talking to the reporters outside and I said, just because the battle is rough doesn’t mean you give up. That’s not what we’re made of in Baltimore,” stated Rawlings-Blake. The mayor continued saying she is working to solve long-term systematic issues and to unite the city. She referenced her One Baltimore Initiative and Youth Works programs. Rawlings-Blake also talked about her municipal trash can program which was announced last week. She said that it is a step in the right direction for trash management and rat abatement.

Liquor Board suspends, fines, problem bar by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Sheba Restaurant and Nightclub at 3301 Foster Ave. went before the Liquor Board on Thursday, August 20. The establishment, which was formally known as Mojito, faced a number of violations, most of which pertained to Sheba’s noise levels. Many violations were the results of 311 calls and multiple community complaints. During a routine inspection, the bartenders could not provide liquor receipts. There were also reports of the establishment purchasing alcohol from an outside seller for the purposes of resale which was not allowed. The inspectors also caught Sheba hosting live entertainment, such as DJs and dancing, which is not allowed with their current license. Residents who have been directly affected by Sheba were encouraged to send letters to the Liquor Board outlining the disturbances. Rebecca Opfer lives next door. “I have noticed that they have installed new speakers, have had bands play, have had karaoke and DJs on multiple nights. The music they play literally makes the floors of my house shake and it goes on until closing time, sometimes 7 days a week,” she wrote to the Liquor Board. “ Opfer also reported various incidents of customers of Sheba fighting outside the establishment, illegal parking, and even violent threats from bartenders. “Sheba has been a thorn in mine, and my neighbor’s side which we wish to see removed. They are not good for our community and have proven to have a bad track record not only with citizens but with our city laws.” Sean Flanagan, the president of the Canton Community Association, acted as a witness. “I believe the violations and reports are absolutely accurate,” he said, mentioning that the loud music is a nightly occurrence and not a fluke. “It is the standard operating procedure. I’ve constantly driven by and stopped by and heard the music. Of all the bars in Canton collectively I’ve not received as many calls, concerns, complaints, and expressions of reluctance to be involved with patrons and management.” Sheba’s owner Nurlign Nurlign said the violations are a direct result of mismanagement from a new manager. Nurlign said that Sheba, which has been in Canton for over two years, never had a history of complaints until a few months ago when the new manager took over and ignored the rules, such as the bar having to be closed at 10 p.m. Sheba was observed being open until 2 a.m. He said he wasn’t aware of the violations and

that none of his employees told him what was happening. Nurlign asserted that since then he has fired his entire staff, including the manager and will start fresh. The Liquor Board punished Sheba with a fine of $1250, $250 for each of the 5 violations, and a 30-day suspension. A sign announcing the temporary closure has already been placed on Sheba’s facade. Nurlign’s lawyer said he will use this time to regroup and work with the community to find solutions and avoid this from happening again. Amigos Bar at 400 S. Eaton St. also faced the Liquor Board that same day. Amigos has been caught multiple times being open past 1 a.m., which is against their license. The bartenders also didn’t have employee records available when the inspectors asked for them. The most serious offense was during an incident where inspectors and police tried to enter the establishment and found the front doors locked. Liquor Board Commissioner, Benjamin Niel called this “troubling” and said that it put the customer, who were there after-hours, at risk. He said the owners and employees need to be more vigilant in the future. Amigos was fined $750, $250 for each offense, without a suspension. “Don’t let it happen it again, if they come in there and it’s after 1 o clock and they can’t get in, it’s going to be a different outcome,” said Neil.

Development planned for Canton Waterfront by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Over $1 billion worth of development and expansions could be in the future of the Canton Waterfront. Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT), a real-estate corporation, announced their plans for the 10 acres of property they own on the waterfront last week at the Urban Design and Architecture Review Panel. The project, called The Waterfront at Canton Crossing, includes 13 buildings and public space they say will be biker- and pedestrianfriendly. Of these building, there will be five or six office buildings, a 300-room hotel, retail, a marina with up to 200 boat slips, and possibly some residential housing. The waterfront promenade on the property would be extended as well. The proposed building would be built on both sides of the CareFirst tower at 1501 S Clinton St. COPT is now in the process of securing an amendment that would allow for development in the Canton Crossing area. The amendment would give the developers permission to have more parking and higher density and building heights. The meeting at the UDARP is the first step. Construction could begin by summer of 2016, contingent upon receiving pre-approval and pre-leasing from the city and the review panel. “We view this development in part as being an opportunity to create a waterfront connection for the Canton neighborhood. In order to create that waterfront connection, not only do we need to invest in the Harbor Walk, but we need to add green space so it becomes that part of a space that the neighborhood feels like they can enjoy,” said Wayne Lingafelter, the president of development and construction for COPT. Lingafelter said COPT will attempt to form a partnership with the city and other local groups during planning and construction. In October, the COPT presented the UDARP with a smaller-scale proposal, with only four office buildings and a retail complex. Panelists at the UDARP expressed concerns over the shadows the high-rise building would create and how this would impact the city’s green spaces. They also worried about the increase of traffic that would occur on Boston and S. Clinton Streets. These reservations aside, the panel was supportive of the plan. Another piece of news about the Canton Waterfront Park will likely have other parks seeing green. Last week, the Canton Waterfront was named Baltimore’s first organic park.

The three-year process is an effort between the city’s Sustainability Commission and Recreation and Parks Department and the Maryland Pesticide Education Network to reduce pesticide usage in the park. The organizations said that the Canton Waterfront was a great starting point since the harmful pesticides have a direct route into the Inner Harbor. The pesticides that trickle into resident’s drinking water have been linked to certain cancers, autism, and other diseases that threaten sealife. “The work to transition Canton Waterfront Park to organic lawn care is part of Baltimore City’s Sustainability Plan for reducing pesticide use. As with the State House grounds, the second and third phases of this demonstration project are being completed during 2014-2015, to provide a safe, healthy and attractive park for visitors and to educate City residents about pesticide hazards and safer yard and garden care,” states the Maryland Pesticide Education Network’s website. The first step of creating an organically managed park is to test the pH levels of the soil and recording what supplements it needs. Then seeds are added which eliminate the growth of weeds and aerates the soil. The Pesticide Education Network is hoping to expand their environmentally-friendly endeavors to other parks in the state. They are working to secure private and public funds. A party was held at the park on Saturday, August 15 to celebrate the successful effort and raise awareness for the project.

Communal garden unites neighbors

BALTIMORE GUIDE 5

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2015

Amid the seemingly endless rows of concrete sidewalks and brick walls lies a green oasis on S. Conkling St. A mural, featuring a train shaped like a snail bursting through the ground, welcomes you to a community garden. Right now, the garden has 10 wooden planters with two plots in each. Residents can purchase a plot for $20 a year. The gardening supplies were funded with grants from Parks and People and Healthy Neighborhood. “The plots are all rented out to different folks in the community,” said Robyn Dorsey, one of the garden’s organizers. “Preference is given to Highlandtown community members, but we have plots reserved for members of the Hispanic community who it maybe wouldn’t be easy for us to connect to.” Dorsey said they work with the International Rescue Committee, which provides aid for refugees who have been displaced by war and disasters. She said a family from Bhutan owns a plot and are growing quite the impressive fig tree. Another plot is owned by a professor from Honduras who teaches agriculture. He’s working side-by-side with a Highlandtown high school student who was introduced to him through the Youth Works program. The pair works together, growing a variety of plants year round and hosting gardening workshops. Robyn’s husband, Michael Dorsey, said this is the ultimate goal of the garden, to bring the diverse members of the community together. “This really has been an effort towards multiculturalism,” he said. Some of the plants are donated by the organic market, Rooftop Hot at 339 S. Conkling St. The planters are framed by more murals from half a dozen artists. On it, a realistically painted sparrow perches on a black and white geometric shape that’s next to some colorful spinning tops. The artists collaborated and combined their own styles into one cohesive piece that draws the eye to the unsuspecting alley. In a way, the mural mirrors the varied stories of those who tend the garden. Michael said the front part of the lot will be transformed into a communal area for neighbors, complete with grills for cookouts, a bocce ball court, and an area for playing horseshoes. The area past the planters and behind the adjacent building will become another recreational area. They will put picnic tables and use the side of the building to project movies. Kevin Bernhard and Erin Kirley tend to their garden plots. The organizers of the “I sort of think of it as the backyard for the garden hope to install 10 more plots in the next few months. | Photos by Gianna DeCarlo neighborhood,” said Robyn.

The train tracks running through the garden represent the alley’s past which was a train stop where meat was delivered to the Esskay factory on E. Baltimore St. The lot has since been abandoned, remaining unused for around 35 years. It has been plagued by prostitution and drug users. Since the garden’s visibility increased and the constant presence of gardeners tending to their plots, this type of activity has become almost nonexistent. “It’s taking what was a debacle, a place that was used by sex workers and drug users as a warren, into a community asset. The idea of healthy urban food production in a city atmosphere is good and it also brings people together,” said Michael. Kevin Bernhard, another organizer, gestures to the back of the plot which is overgrown with plants and is slightly squishy from rain run-off. He said that starting in the spring of 2016, the garden will become the site of new retention units and rain gardens to prevent drainage runoff. This project is put together by Blue Water Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay Trust through a $75000. “If we’re building these water retention units to hold on to the water, we’re in effect lessening the stormwater that goes into and damages the bay,” said Bernhard. The organizers are hosting another Build Day on August 30 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Volunteers will help build the back fence and the stand for the eventual toolshed. Currently, they have a fundraiser called “Bohs and Os for the Conkling Street Garden”. For $55, you get a ticket to watch to Orioles’ September 12th game, access to a bullpen party with all-you-can-drink beer and food. The money will go into improving and expanding the garden. To purchase tickets, go to www.eventbrite. com/e/bohs-and-os-for-the-conkling-streetgarden-tickets -18023915015.

As the saying goes, “If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.” That has been the month of August for Baltimore Orioles’ starting pitcher Kevin Gausman. The 24 year-old starter has been solid in August save for one bad start against the Los Angeles Angels, but in five August starts, Gausman has posted four quality starts. Unfortunately for him (and the Orioles) his record in August is actually 1-3. Gausman won his first start of the month against the Detroit Tigers by a score of 6-2, pitching seven solid innings and allowing only two earned runs while striking out six. His next start didn’t exactly go as planned as he got lit up by the Angels for six earned runs in less than six innings pitched as the O’s lost 8-4. Gausman got back on track for his next start against the Seattle Mariners as he allowed only three earned runs in seven strong innings and set a career high with eight strikeouts. Unfortunately the pitcher he was going against from Seattle, Hisashi Iwakuma, tossed a no-hitter as Gausman was the tough-luck loser. Tough to top that! His next start was against the New York Mets as once again he put forth a quality effort, going six innings and allowing three earned runs while striking out six and walking only one. In case you haven’t noticed the trend here, Gausman took the loss as the O’s fell 5-2. Gausman’s fifth start of the month was against the Minnesota Twins and once again, he was dialed in. This time Gausman threw seven stellar innings while allowing only two earned runs on only three hits as he tied his newly set career high in strikeouts with eight. This time, however, it was the normally reliable Zach Britton who did him in. Gausman left the game with a 3-2 lead and gave way to Darren O’Day who does what he does best, keep the game in check for Britton. O’Day struck out two of the three batters he faced and didn’t allow a single baserunner. Britton, on the other

hand, did not do what he normally does. Britton led off the inning by allowing a single before getting a groundout and strikeout. Now with two outs and a man on second base, Britton gave up the gametying run on a single by Trevor Plouffe. Britton would give up yet another single before striking out the final batter as the O’s would eventually go on to lose the game 4-3. Bad luck aside, Gausman has been dialed in for five of his last six starts. If you take out that stinker of a game against the Angels, Gausman would have an ERA of 2.59 for five of those six starts. Over that span of 34 2/3 innings pitched, he has struck out 33 batters while walking only four. Pretty good stuff. The key to his success has been control. Before the All Star Break, Gausman walked nine batters in 27 IP. After the All Star Break, he actually has less walks (eight) but almost twice as many innings pitched (46 1/3). Right now Baltimore is on the outside looking in as they are now two games back of the final Wild-Card spot, and are now 6 ½ games behind the first-place Toronto Blue Jays. If they want to play into October, they need to win games like the ones Gausman has started but has fallen on bad luck, otherwise Gausman and the rest of the O’s can talk about all of their bad luck while they pack their lockers up and head home.
