Mayor unveils plan to combat city-wide trash problem BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Last week, Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake announced Clean Corps, a program that will work to get neighbors involved in trash clean-up. Rawlings-Blake spoke about Clean Corps during her Mayor’s Fall Cleanup event at N. Linwood Ave. The program focuses on getting residents involved through door-todoor campaigns and organized alley and street clean-ups. “The city of Baltimore, like many cities across the country, faces issues that plague our streets, create health issues, pollute our waterways and reduce property values. Litter can be found blowing across the streets of Baltimore. It’s just wrong, and we know that we can do better,” said Rawlings-Blake. At the announcement, a group of volunteers picked up trash and planted trees around the area. Residents recalled the days of filthy alleys filled with abandoned mattresses, rats, and overflowing trash cans. Rawlings-Blake acknowledged that many neighborhoods have their own organizing CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Apartment plans for Haussner’s site rejected by GIANNA DECARLO

EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

It was announced last month that developers were approved to build apartments at the former site of Haussner’s restaurant at 3244 Eastern Ave. This week, a design panel brought their first rendering of the proposed building to the Urban Design & Architecture Review Panel. The plan by The Garver Development Group included 65 apartments, a parking Call me today to hear about these optional features: New Car Replacement, Accident Forgiveness and Deductible Rewards.

garage, and 1000 square foot of retail space on the first floor. The development would be approximately 70 feet high or six stories tall This would make it one of the largest buildings in the Highlandtown neighborhood. The ground floor will be 1,000 square feet of retail space, with 300-400 square foot space for rent for small-scale businesses. This was an idea presented to the developers from community members at a public meeting this summer. The developers said that most vacant buildings are too big for new start-up businesses to use. The apartment building’s space would be a more manageable, and costfriendly, space. The rent for the one bedroom apartments will be in the range of $1500 per month. Each room will have its own parking space in the garage. The top floor will be a lounge space for residents. Since one of the design’s focus is on preserving green space, each room will also have a balcony and a green roof. Along with this, more trees will be planted on each side of S. Clinton St. Members of UDARP criticized the plan, calling the renderings generic and noncohesive with the neighboring buildings. They also said the ground floor idea wasn’t wellthought out enough, although they supported the small-space idea. The panel also requested more information about the building materials and the general aesthetic goals of the project. The developers explained that most of the material of the

Haussner’s building cannot be salvaged. However, they will incorporate some elements, like bronze railing and blocks of concrete to the new building. UDARP added that Haussner’s was a landmark of Southeast Baltimore so the replacement has to be just as exciting. They want it to be a model and inspiration for future development in Highlandtown. “A lot of people are concerned about it because they look at it through a nostalgic eye. It’s a high-profile building, it’s got a lot of history,” said Brian Sweeney, the president of the Highlandtown Community Association. Sweeney added that the community association conducted a survey of neighbors before giving their approval to the project. There were little complaints and the community association will draft a Memorandum of Understanding with the developers. The developers will return to UDARP with an updated proposal at a later date. The Haussner’s building has been empty for almost 10 years. Before that, it served Highlandtown for 73 years and was wellknown for its food and pricey collection of fine art. This summer, Garver Development Group bought the property for $740,000. The firm will tear down the existing structure and begin building the new complex next summer. The building is expected to be completed by 2017. The estimated cost of the project is $10 million.

Letter to the Editor Save the ice rink? To the Editor, I am writing to you because you because you had an article about the Ice Skating ring in Patterson Park. I am Dominic Mimi Di Pietro’s niece, and I am really upset because they are going to take down the Ice Skating rink that bears his name. This is the only thing in Highlandtown that bears his name. After all the good things that he did for his neighborhood, I cannot believe that they are doing this to him. I know he has been gone for some time & the people who are in charge do not know how he helped his constituents and the neighborhood of East Baltimore. This is why I am calling on you for your help.

Halloween mischief

Sebastian John, MD Primary Care

To the Editor, In my youth, I would partake in Halloween Mischief. This would include throwing eggs at cars. I did this as a teenager and when caught, I was punished by my parents.

from

In time, I would look to a great musician on my generation, Stevie Wonder, who would note, “You grow up and learn that kind of thing ain’t right, but when you was doing it sure was out of sight.” Now I am observing other destructive behavior, not by teenagers but by adults who are destroying Halloween directions by my neighbors. If you cannot listen to the blind giant of my generation, why not listen to the blonde genius of your own? In the immortal words of Taylor Swift, “Why you gotta be so mean?” – Denny Olver

What Baltimore was meant to be I really hope the Paolino family understands the unique treasure that is Highlandtown, which I am sure they do. I also really hope that this block is not sold to a buyer or developer that will ‘gentrify’ the area or turn it into the likes of Harbor East. Too many places and people in Baltimore are being out-priced and transforming the city in to something it never was and at its heart, doesn’t want be. – Cody T.

Finding winter jobs is snow problem for city’s youth The colder months are on their way, and with them comes a lot of snow. The snow ices up and clogs the streets and make it difficult for everyone to get around. The City Youth Snow Program hopes to combat this chilly conundrum by pairing up the city’s youth with senior citizens and disabled people. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced the initiative this summer. The Department of Transportation will partner with the YouthWorks program to connect as many children to employment as possible. “Through the youth snow program elderly residents who need assistance during the winter months will be matched with student participants to shovel snow,” said Rawlings-Blake. Residents were given an application to register the right-of-way at the front of their homes. The Department of Transportation cannot legally work on private property, so the areas cleared have to be public property. The snow-shoveling hours can be considered community service work or a paid job, but not both.

If they choose monetary compensation, the youth will be paid $500 for working at ten separate “events” or sites. The city will provide them with a shovel, work boots, and a safety vest. There will also be an orientation. Locations will be assigned to the shovelers and be within walking distance or 5-blocks from their own houses. “There is no resident cap; however, acceptance/denial into the program will be based on adequate youth resources in the area(s) requested,” states the program’s website. The City Youth Snow Program is hiring up to 400 youth, between 14 and 21 years-old. It’s part of YouthWork’s efforts to increase year-round job opportunities for the city’s children as well as connecting them with their neighbors. “We know that Baltimore’s younger people are looking for employment beyond the summer,” said Rawlings-Blake. For more information or to sign up for the City Youth Snow Program, call 443-984-4095 or e-mail: jobs.trans@baltimorecity.gov.

Iron Rooster to replace Farmstead Grill in Canton Crossing A brunch favorite from Annapolis, Iron Rooster, is coming to Canton. The restaurant, known for its homemade pop-tarts and free happy hour bacon, is opening its second location at 3721 Boston St, the former location of Farmstead Grill. In September, Farmstead Grill was supposedly temporarily closed for repairs after a car drove into the side of the building. It never reopened. It is unknown when Iron Rooster acquired the location. Iron Rooster is expected to open by midNovember. They hosted a hiring event this week, looking for hospitality-focused employees for all positions. If you missed the event but are still interested in a job, you can contact info@ ironroosterallday.com. The Annapolis location quickly rose to the top of many “Best Brunch” lists and its all-day breakfast and chicken and waffles are customer favorites. That’s not even mentioning the creative cocktails. “In addition to a menu suitable to every taste, Iron Rooster features a unique brunch-style cocktail menu with popular drinks such as a

‘Bacon Bloody Mary’ and an ‘Iron Crush.’ The bar will also incorporate local Maryland brews such as Jailbreak Brewing Company,” states the restaurant’s press release. For more information, visit www. ironroosterallday.com.

Robberies hit SE hard, suspects not from area At this month’s Southeastern District Police Community Relations Council Meeting, Major Deron Garrity gave an overview of crime in the district. Garrity first said there was a homicide over the weekend at the Perkins Home development. “It happened between two family members. It escalated into a fight. One of them got upset about something that happened in the house and hit somebody with a pole. The person that got hit with a pole came back with a knife,” he said. The incident was contained and was not related to anything going on in the neighborhood. Garrity added that while the neighborhood has been “alleviated from violent crime”, there is the ongoing problem with robberies. In particular, Butcher’s Hill has been hit the hardest over the past 45 days. “We are experiencing robberies in places we have never experienced robberies before,” said Garrity. He added that these robberies are taking place at all hours of the day, making it difficult for the police to establish a pattern. The eastern side of Patterson Park has been a hot spot for robberies as well. Garrity said they have apprehended a suspect that they believed was responsible for a majority of thefts in the area, but the rate of robberies has not

declined since his arrest. There have been some patterns established by the Southeast Police Department. For example, many of the suspects are committing robberies in groups. Many reports have one suspect assaulting the victim, often hitting them from behind, while the two other suspects go through their pockets. Some of these groups have been seen carrying both real and fake handguns. Garrity believes the suspects are not from this area and are coming in from outside the district. He said that there is a disturbing trend in burglaries where the suspect ends up taking the victim’s car. The police are tracking to see if the stolen cars are being used to perpetrate more crime. Garrity is working on getting repeat offenders held accountable by the federal courts. He believes the more serious consequences will send a message to other criminals. “If we can link multiple robberies to one person, then we charge them federally and have them do federal time. That’s the only way to stop this stuff,” he said. As Garrity was talking, a call came in about a shooting on the 300 block of Broadway, in the Douglass Homes development. Somebody was reportedly shot in the head after an incident in a basketball court. Earlier in the meeting, Tenea Reddick, the operations

manager for 911 answered questions. In the past months’ meetings, residents have expressed concerns over 911’s lack of response and efficiency. Reddick said that 911 is sometimes unavailable because the lines are clogged with non-emergency calls that distract operators. “People have been using 911 as a catch-all,” she said, referencing an incident where somebody called 911 over a flooded bathroom. “You’ll be surprised how many operators sit on the phone with non-emergency calls when we have actual emergencies waiting.” For these non-emergencies, Reddick stressed that citizens should utilize 311. Residents should always call 911 if they see a suspicious person or package, even if it doesn’t seem like an immediate emergency. She said that often simple altercations can quickly erupt into violence. Reddick said that when people call 911, they often get annoyed at the frequent questioning. She said the operators need this information, like what the suspect is wearing and what direction they ran, to relay to dispatch and then eventually the police. Currently, there are only 18 operators. But Reddick hopes to improve efficiency and reduce response time since 10 new operators will start by the end of the week.

Cohesion Theatre Company explores conflicting realities and coexistence with “A Little Bit Not Normal” by GIANNA DECARLO

Normalcy is relative. The personal experiences we all go through shape our perception of the world, our reality, and our definition of “normal.” Often, our normal doesn’t coincide with the normal of another, creating not only tension and uncertainty but also the opportunity for change and the ability to empathize. The play “A Little Bit Not Normal” by Lillie Franks as performed by the Cohesion Theatre Company examines these everchanging definitions of existence and how we react when differences and intolerance emerge. The play follows Devon, a post-transition transgender woman in her mid-20s living on the precipice of the real and the surreal. Devon’s estranged father, Patrick, decides to reenter Devon’s life which is when her reality begins to crumble. “The plot is rooted in this story of whether they’re going to reconcile or not and what follows from that,” said Alice Stanley, the play’s director and cofounder of Cohesion. “It’s about the idea that people see different realities. As a trans person, your reality is often denied by the people around you and as a consequence of that you start to see different realities.” Devon’s warped reality includes a werewolffighting girlfriend, a talking cat, God, and Supraman (not to be confused with Superman, since Marvel’s copyright laws are quite strict). Franks used the bizarre surrealism of Devon’s everyday life to mirror her own experience as a transgender woman. “Trans stories are so often told in the most depressing way possible and I kind of wanted to make a trans story that acknowledged this heavy thing we deal with while also having fun with it. I got more into exploring the idea of subjectivity and the ways in which all people have their own experiences. There are elements of each experience that we share and we form communities around and there are also elements that we sort of don’t get to share,” said Franks. Polarizing views and morals are the main point of tension in the story, not just between Devon and her father, but also between God and Supraman, and Devon’s girlfriend and the talking cat. Still, for every difference, there’s a chance for understanding. Franks said this understanding is needed for the transgender

community as they begin to be open about their identities in an often unwelcoming society. “Every character has one moment of empathy where they understand each other in a different way,” said Franks. “All the characters are represented in a multi-faceted way that you don’t get with a lot of plays that focus on queer characters,” added Melanie Glickman, who plays God. Because of these multi-faceted characters and their deeply introspective moments, the play doesn’t follow a traditional narrative of “good-vs-evil.” Devon’s father could’ve easily been written as a callous, ignorant bigot, but Franks manages to make him human and sympathetic. “He feels like he’s going through the loss of a child. Patrick wants to get Devon back, even though he may not be doing in the right way. He’s trying to do the right thing but just doesn’t know how. He’s having trouble wrapping his head around it,” said John Wright, who plays Devon’s father. It’s a play about reality and perspective and how it acts as the sole motivator to our morals, thoughts, actions, and reactions. Even if you are a chatty cat or disgruntled superhero. “A Little Bit Not Normal” is the first play in The Trans* Voices Workshop Series, a seasonlong project by the Cohesion Theatre Company and the Iron Crow Theatre to increase the visibility of transgender artists and performers. “The mission to take the conversation and bring it out into the community to engage the community parts of different walks of life. We want to highlight things and keep the conversation going long after the show has closed. There’s so much here that needs to be said,” Stanley said. The workshop series will include two other plays, various exhibits about trans history, classes such as “Transgender History” and “Transgender Characters in the media, and public panels with trans activists. This was all possible due to a $5000 arts grant that Stanley received from the Baltimore Office of Promotion and The Arts. “A Little Bit Not Normal” will run from November 16 to December 6. The Cohesion Theatre Company performs at the Church on the Square at 1025 S. Potomac St. To purchase tickets or to see a full schedule, visit www.cohesiontheatre.org.

East Baltimore Eats BY RACHEL LIPTON

Little Italy’s Piedigrotta Bakery When it comes to Italian delis in Baltimore, my heart belongs to DiPasquale’s. But, in the interest of time and discovering something a little more accessible from my office, I decided to try Piedigrotta Bakery. I had a friend meeting me for lunch and nothing was more appealing to us than an Italian sandwich followed by a pastry. When you enter Piedigrotta Bakery, it’s clearly a bakery that has a few sandwich options. There are pastry cases filled with great looking Italian desserts. But before I could indulge in something sweet, I wanted a sandwich. I ordered the Prosciutto Sandwich which was massive. In addition to prosciutto, the sandwich had fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, lettuce, and then was drizzled with olive oil and balsamic. I could barely fit this sandwich in my mouth, but when I did, it was delicious. The meat was salty, the cheese was fresh and it was a great Italian Sandwich. They also offer other food to-go, like a fluffy looking frittata, stuffed calzones, antipasto platters, and traditional Italian cookies. The gnocchis, in particular, looked great, just like how Nonna used to make them. When my friend and I finished our sandwiches, we each ordered a dessert. Apparently Piedigrotta Bakery is known for its Tiramisu and rumor has it that the owner, Carminantonio Iannaccone, invented this dessert in the 1960s while living in Italy. Personally I am not into Tiramisu, but my friend

loved this and said she would order it again. Certainly worthy of the rumors around it. For dessert, the foursquare tips highly recommended the Lobster Tail, so that’s what I ordered. This is a flaky puff pastry filled with custard. The custard was very sweet and I liked it a lot, but if you don’t have a sweet tooth, you may find this to be too sweet. My friend and I loved everything at Piedigrotta Bakery in Little Italy, I can’t wait to go back and try some other pastries. Piedigrotta also offers gelato. We tried the coffee and stracciatella which is creamy vanilla gelato with layers of thin chocolate flakes. The coffee was strong with a smooth taste. The stracciatella was rich and we could tell it was made with real cream and was made in-house. However, in some bites it almost had too much chocolate which at times overwhelmed the simplicity of the vanilla. The cozy ambiance of the bakery only adds to the experience. And we hear that if you ask nicely enough, Iannaccone will give you a tour of the bakery. Piedigrotta Bakery is located at 1300 Bank St, in Little Italy. To view a full menu, visit www.piedigrotta bakery.net. Enjoy Tiramisu and more at Piedigrotta Bakery. | Photos by Rachel Lipton

Rookies worth a look While the Baltimore Orioles have a ton of questions to answer this offseason, one answer might have been there all along since 2009. The Orioles have a need in the outfield, but one option could be Nolan Reimold. Reimold was drafted by the O’s in the second round of the 2005 draft and made his MLB debut in 2009 when he showed some serious promise after batting .279 with 15 HR and 45 RBI over the span of 104 games. Reimold spent the next four seasons with Baltimore before the Toronto Blue Jays picked him up off waivers in July of 2014. Reimold wouldn’t stick with Toronto for long before he found himself being selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks off waivers on August 28th that same season. After the 2014 season Reimold became a free agent and was signed by the O’s this past February. During his 2015 season, Reimold played well, although you need to take a closer look at his numbers to see that. While Reimold batted just .247 during his 61 games with the O’s, he did have an on-base percentage of .344. If you

take an even deeper look into his numbers, when he batted leadoff, Reimold had an on base percentage of .372. That is pretty impressive. Sure, the sample size was small (only 21 games) but it certainly warrants a closer look during spring training. While Reimold isn’t exactly going to set the base paths on fire (no stolen bases last year) his ability to get on base is huge. Given that as a team last year Baltimore had an on-base percentage of .307, they can certainly use help in that department. Heck, even the Miami Marlins had an OBP of .310. Another good thing about Reimold is his low price tag. While we might all want a highpriced free agent in his position, knowing Baltimore’s parsimonious owner, Reimold is a decent option. Now if Angelos would sign Chris Davis and add a decent starting pitcher or two, I’d be ecstatic to have Reimold in the outfield. One thing is for sure, this winter will be busy in Baltimore.

and efforts for trash clean-up. Clean Corps, she said, will work to bring these programs together in an organized manner for better and more widespread results. She also said these smaller groups will be linked to city resources for more help. “The goal of Clean Corps is to connect residents and businesses across the city so that no single neighborhood feels alone in their efforts to keep the city streets clear,” she said. By creating this network, the city can solve its trash problems through proactive solutions to the causes of trash build-up, RawlingsBlake added. For more information on Clean Corps, visit www.facebook.com/CleanCorpsBaltimore. Residents that are interested in joining Clean Corps are encouraged to call 410-9891216. In September, Rawlings-Blake allotted $10 million to purchasing municipal trash cans for all houses in the city. “Thanks to this innovative initiative, our neighborhoods will be cleaner and healthier, our employees will be safer, and our citizens will receive better, more efficient service. In short: this is a win-win-win for Baltimore City,” said Rawlings-Blake. The heavy duty and better-designed trash cans will help decrease the rat population and be easier to manage for trash disposal, explained Rawlings-Blake. The program was designed based around the success of a pilot program of 9,000 house last year. The program reported less need for rat extermination and cleaner streets. “Cans provided by the city do help keep trash properly stored and the use of municipal cans across the city gives us the best tool we could have to combat rats and keep our communities clean,” said Rudolph Chow, the director at the Department of Public Works. The new trash cans are expected to be delivered at the start of 2016. In a much more bizarre and viral piece of

trash news, the Canton Water Wheel has gotten national attention after a successful Q & A on Reddit, an online forum. “Mr. Water Wheel” hosted an “A.M.A. (Ask me anything) on the popular website where it took questions from the Reddit community. “I am Mr. Trash Wheel, the first invention of its kind that has removed 331 tons of garbage from Baltimore’s harbor,” said the wheel in its introduction. Topics included whether a swimmable harbor by 2020 was actually possible, if the wheel has every brought up a body, and even a petition to get googly-eyes installed on the wheel. One commentator asked: What’s the feasibility of getting less trash dumped into the harbor? It sounds like a lot of it is local. Why? Mr. Trash Wheel responded: “Well, it’s 100% feasible. It just requires behavior change and maybe, I dare to say, a little legislation. If we had a 5 cent deposit I could have made $10,000 this year. Nearly enough for a new trash wheel. I don’t mind going on a little diet.” The A.M.A. was so popular it landed on Reddit’s front page, which shows the most active posts per day. At one point, its thread was even more popular than the thread about the new Star Wars trailer. It gained so much attention, that a petition to install actual googly eyes on the wheel received over 1,400 signatures. “Googly eyes would make the device (and the idea of environmentalism itself) more appealing to our younger generations. These googly eyes could save the planet,” states the petition’s website. The Healthy Harbor Initiative listened to the public’s demand. Last weekend, they installed temporary 4-foot googly eyes to Mr. Trash Wheel for a photo shoot. This was a prototype to see if permanent eyes will be possible.
