Ice rink will leave Patterson Park but remain in Southeast BY GIANNA DECARLO

EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

When the final version of the Patterson Park Masterplan came out last week, many residents were upset to learn that the Dominic “Mimi” DiPietro Ice Rink would be moved from the park. Bob Wall, the chief of recreation at the Department of Recreation and Parks, wanted to further explain the plan to alleviate the concerns of those who believe the rink is an important centerpiece of the neighborhood. “I grew up in Patterson Park so I know what that rink means to that community, that’s for sure,” said Wall. Wall stressed that the ice rink is still functioning and is not, and will not, be closed anytime soon. He said people have contacted him worried that the ice rink will be demolished and not rebuilt. He said this will not happen. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

BCP scraps Hampstead Hill Academy expansion to FAST by GIANNA DECARLO

EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

DownloAD our App!

In June, it was announced that the middle school at 801 S. Highland Ave., formerly known as Friendship Academy of Science and Technology (FAST), might reopen. It was shut down in February 2014 and has been empty since. The Baltimore Curriculum Project, a nonprofit organization, expressed an interest in renovating the building and using it to expand the programming of their other schools. This week, they said that they would not be Call me today to hear about these optional features: New Car Replacement, Accident Forgiveness and Deductible Rewards.

moving forward with this plan. At least, not in the near future. The Baltimore Curriculum Project also runs Hampstead Hill Academy, an elementary and middle school at 500 S. Linwood Ave. The FAST building would have become a second campus for older students. The BCP had said that opening another location would help reduce overcrowding and provide a wellrounded education to an economically and racially diverse population of students. Now, the money will be used to renovate other schools within the Baltimore Curriculum Project. “The funding slated to renovate that building instead will be used to build additions designed to reduce significant overcrowding at Commodore John Rogers and Highlandtown #237,” stated the BCP. The two mentioned schools’ problems with overcrowding were ruled as more important since students are already enrolled in the schools and are facing more congestion than those at Hampstead Hill. According to reports from the Baltimore City Public Schools, many schools in the southeast are operating above their population capacity with a utilization rate of 112%. Schools such as Wolfe Street Academy,

William Paca Elementary School, and Armistead Gardens Elementary/Middle School were also mentioned as having issues with overcrowding. However, FAST’s second chance is still a possibility. The BCP is evaluating the best course of action. Throughout the years, multiple public meetings were held and feedback was heard from stakeholders and community members. However, there will not be any changes within the next few years. “The City School board continues to take the BCP/HHA expansion proposal seriously, but until the former Canton Middle is renovated no school will be housed there,” the statement concluded. It is not known what renovations would’ve been done to the building. “This is recent news, and our school community is working with very supportive elected officials to determine the best opportunity to expand our facilities onsite or elsewhere. In other words, we might still expand to that building in a few years, but there are no plans to do anything with it at this time,” said BCP. The now-empty school would have continued Hampstead Hill’s charter system and provided programs like accelerated science and math courses and International Baccalaureate (IB) programming. A 2020 opening was expected. The original Linwood Avenue campus for Hampstead Hill would have been used for students in pre-K to grade two. The Highland Avenue location would have been used for grades 3 through 8. The Highland Ave. building had a capacity of approximately 1,400 students. The FAST school was closed due to poor academic performance and problems with truancy. Last year, the BCPS decided not to renew the school’s operating contract. The school invited more criticism from the community when some students were involved in incidents of theft and assault.

Elizabeth Embry, a former prosecutor and the chief of the criminal division for the state’s attorney general, announced on November 6 that she will enter the race for mayor. “Make no mistake, I am not a politician. I am a public servant who has spent my entire life earning and keeping the public’s trust,” said Embry. Embry has worked for the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, has acted as the director of the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice and as an assistant solicitor at the Baltimore Law

Department. She now serves as the chief of the Criminal Division for the Attorney General under Attorney General Brian Frosh. She said that her experience convicting criminals and enacting change within the justice system will help her with policy creation. “I will break the vicious cycles of violence and retaliation that have crippled our communities because the bloodshed in Baltimore must end. As a leader and proven manager, I will invest in infrastructure, attract jobs and grow businesses, and get our workforce moving again. And as a daughter of Baltimore who believes in public education, I will reclaim our schools and make sure the promise of a generation is not lost to low expectations,” she said. During her announcement, she focused on crime. She said that homicides were under 200 during her time at the state’s attorney’s office. “Because I am not a politician, you may not know my name yet. You may not know my story yet. But you will,” she said. Embry joins a crowded field of potential candidates. She is the 11th candidate to join the race. Last week, Nick Mosby, a councilman, and the husband to Marilyn Mosby, announced his bid for the position. The Democratic primary is on April 26, 2016.

Nacho Mama’s to open Towson location by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

The Mexican restaurant and Canton favorite, Nacho Mama’s, is opening a second location in Towson. “Opening a second location is an exciting part of our story and in true Nacho Mama’s fashion, we will continue to celebrate Baltimore’s cheeky culture. It has always been our dream to put a Nacho Mama’s into a county location and we are thrilled it’s going to be in Towson,” said Jackie McCusker, one of the owners of Nacho Mama’s. The new location will be on the corner of York Rd. and Philadelphia Ave. near the Towson Town Center area. The new restaurant will serve a similar menu, with their popular quesadillas and Hubcaps. The restaurant is expected to open in 2016 after renovations to the space and the acquisition of a liquor license. “Baltimore County welcomes Nacho Mama’s to Towson with a big ‘Hola, Hon’,”

said Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz. In October, the owners of Nacho Mama’s threatened to leave Canton over a dispute with their landlord. The conflict stemmed from their landlord wanting to move the restaurant to another location in O’Donnell Square and for Nacho Mama’s owners to pay for renovations to the property. A new lease would have also raised the rent from $25 a square foot to $45 with a small annual increase. “Our lease is coming up & people are asking about other parts of the city. So you tell us, North, South, East or West?” stated the Nacho Mama’s Facebook page. Over social media, customers voiced their displeasure and urged the business to stay within the city. Last week, they announced they would do just that and remain at their current location. The lease was renewed for an unknown number of years.

Two Fell’s Point establishments go to Liquor Board by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Euphoria Nightclub & Restaurant at 1301 Ponca St. | Photo by Google Maps

Euphoria Nightclub and Restaurant at 1301 Ponca St. went to the liquor board on Thursday, November 6 due to violations stemming from a violent altercation on Labor Day weekend. According to police testimony, a fight broke out at the nightclub on September 17 around 7 p.m. One victim was injured with several lacerations on his head. At one point, the police spotted a man throw an item which appeared to be a gun into the crowd. Officer Mira of the Southeast Police testified that four 911 calls were made. At the scene, he said there were over 800 people gathered inside and outside the building, many of which were rowdy and uncooperative. “A signal 13 was dropped which in our equivalent is ‘all help come now’. Two of these were dropped. Every officer in the Southeast and Eastern districts responded as well as school police officers,” said Mira, adding that there were over 40 officers and a police helicopter at the scene The victim and his friends said the altercation happened inside, but other than that, they were unwilling to talk to the police. Mira said that while the victim was being tended to, between 4-5 other fights broke out and two arrests were made. At the Liquor Board, the licensees of Euphoria faced charges of disturbing the peace and violating public welfare. Their lawyer, Melvin Kodenski, said there wasn’t enough proof to determine if the crime happened inside Euphoria. Mira hadn’t been able to pinpoint the crime scene due to the large crowd. He said it took over 45 minutes to clear the area. The Liquor Board agreed but said that the license, and accompanying rules, extends to the outside parking lot area of the building. This meant the licensees were responsible regardless of where the initial crime happened.

Kodenski asked why the victims and witnesses weren’t at the hearing, saying it was a “lack of personal responsibility from perpetrators”. He asked why the licensees, who were the only cooperative ones in the crowd, were the ones being punished. He also said that the club is located in a heavily industrial and commercial area, so there were no residential disturbances. He referenced how there wasn’t anyone from the community at the hearing to complain or any 411 calls on file. He added that the fight wasn’t serious and that the signal 13 call was a kneejerk reaction from the officer. Kodenski said the licensees have been “proactive in dealing with this” and have been in contact with the Southeast Police Department over the event. The Liquor Board ruled that they should pay a $2500 fine to be paid within 30 days. They weren’t given a suspension. The other establishment to go against the Liquor Board was Santa Ana Restaurant at 246 S. Broadway. The restaurant faced violations from a special inspection on October 18. The inspectors entered the location at 1:08 a.m. and found customers still consuming alcoholic beverages. Santa Ana’s license only allows them to serve liquor until 1 a.m. When questioned by inspectors, Adam Martinez, the manager, couldn’t provide employee records. Also, the establishment’s Alcohol Awareness certification had expired. Martinez’s lawyer said the Santa Ana restaurant was a small-scale business that serves the Spanish population in Fell’s Point. He said that a large fine or lengthy suspension could bankrupt Martinez. He was given a $500 fine for the three offenses to be paid in 30 days.

We don’t have the same opinions and that’s what good about gathering and sharing what we think,” said Maria Aldana, the Community Arts Manager for the Creative Alliance and one of the event’s organizers. “It changed my life.” The Creative Alliance began these workshops in 2013. There are five workshops a year about various themes that relate to race relations and current events. Aldana said that weekly meetings are held to pick a theme. “If it feels like a dynamic theme that no one else is doing, we want to do it,” she said. Prior themes included excessive force by police, the experiences of the immigrant population in Baltimore, and community activism. Aldana admits that she has difficulties talking about herself, but she was driven to speak as a person of color who is still affected by prejudice she experiences within society. “It’s painful,” she said. “People are scared to talk but when they do, it’s a relief and it starts a discussion.” Aldana explained that attendees are asked to fill out a survey of their age, race, and address so they can document the demographics they are reaching. “We hope that people are here for the very beginning of learning about what racism is exactly and ask themselves, how do I participate Attendants admire the artwork of Brandon Gray who was inspired by the Baltimore Uprising. | Photo by Gianna DeCarlo in that?” she said.

Now that the offseason is upon us, things are going to start to heat up…at least that’s what fans hope in Baltimore as the Orioles have several key free agents of their own as well as a few holes to fill. Let’s take a look back at some of the best offseason moves in recent memory. 2/24/2014 – Orioles sign free agent Nelson Cruz – Coming off a 2013 season in which he was suspended for PEDs, Nelson Cruz had a lot to prove, and did so by signing a one year deal with the O’s worth $8 million. How did he do? Just fine as he set a career high (at the time) with 40 home runs and 108 runs batted in while also setting career bests in at-bats. Cruz wound up being named an All Star and finished seventh in the MVP voting. He would eventually sign a four year deal with Seattle worth $57 million. 11/2/2011 – Orioles sign free agent Darren O’Day – O’Day has been an absolute beast since joining the Orioles before the 2012 season. O’Day has seen his ERA improve every year, which is impressive when you consider his ERA in 2012 was 2.28 (it went to 2.18 in 2013, 1.70 in 2014 and 1.52 this past year). Having O’Day in the pen has been a huge boost to the O’s and was one of the main reasons they made the playoffs two of those seasons. 12/9/2010 – Orioles trade Brett Jacobson and Jim Hoey to Minnesota for J.J. Hardy – While Hardy has been banged up a bit the past two seasons, he has always played a mean shortstop and his first three years saw him hit 30, 22 and 25 home runs. Hardy was an All Star in 2013 and has won three Gold Gloves during his time in Baltimore. As for Jacobson

and Hoey, Jacobson never cracked the majors and Hoey pitched in 26 games for Minnesota in 2011 where he posted an ERA of 5.47. 2/8/2008 – Orioles trade Erik Bedard to Seattle for Tony Butler, Adam Jones, Kam Mickolio, George Sherrill and Chris Tillman – This is probably one of the more lopsided trades in baseball history, let alone in Baltimore history. That offseason, then GM Andy MacPhail sent Bedard packing after he went 13-5 with a 3.16 ERA to the Seattle Mariners for a slew of players, some of which you might have heard about before. During his time in Seattle, Bedard went 15-14 with a 3.31 ERA, never winning more than 6 games in a season with them before being sent to Boston in 2011, Pittsburgh in 2012, Houston in 2013 and Tampa Bay in 2014. Bedard finished his career with a record of 71-82. As for the haul Baltimore pulled in? While Butler and Mickolio never panned out, Sherrill pitched well during his year and a half in Baltimore, making the All Star team in 2008 as he would eventually save 31 games that year. Tillman has been one of Baltimore’s front end starters for the past few seasons and has posted a record of 56-42 during his young career. As for Adam Jones? He’s done a few things in Baltimore…. Jones has been named to five All Star squads, won four Gold Gloves, finished sixth in the MVP voting in 2012, and has been all around the best player in Baltimore. Jones also does quite a bit of charity work within the city of Baltimore making him a valuable person, not just a player. Sorry, not sorry Seattle! 1/14/1994 – Orioles sign free agent Chris Sabo – OK, so maybe he might not have been the best player on the field during his one year in Baltimore, he easily had the coolest sports goggle in the history of the game which is why he makes this list. The Entire 1995 and 1996 offseasons – During this time the Orioles front office, thanks to Pat Gillick, put together some of the best free agent signings over that short of a time period. The O’s signed free agents Mike Bordick, Jimmy Key and Eric Davis in 1996, as well as Randy Myers, B.J. Surhoff and Roberto Alomar in 1995, which all helped them reach the playoffs in 1996 and 1997. Next week I will review some of the worst offseason moves in Baltimore’s recent history.

ICE RINK: possible new location “We’re looking into the possibility of building it in another location in Canton,” he said. The property they are looking at is a cityowned plot of land on Boston St. by the Canton Waterfront Park. He spoke about plans to turn the new rink into a multi-use facility that can be rented out when the ice-skating season is over. Since it’s got such a great view of the waterfront, it’ll be an ideal space for weddings, Wall said. “We really want to build a real state-of-theart facility because not only can it remain an anchor institution for the community, but a location with more parking would just help bring in new clientele. It will be accessible, just off I-95,” said Wall. “ It’s win-win for not only the community but to the city as a whole. They get the chance to enjoy what Baltimore has to offer.” Wall said it is approximately 1.2 miles from the original location. But he, and Recreation and Parks, aren’t getting ahead of themselves. Just because the Masterplan is complete, doesn’t mean that any massive changes to the park are going to happen for the next few years. A feasibility study will be done next year for the Boston St. property to see if building an ice rink is even a possibility. Other than that, there isn’t a set time line for the park’s changes. The Patterson Park Masterplan was an 8-month process in which the steering committee and Recreation and Parks gathered feedback from park-goers. Over 300 people participated in the field studies. At past meetings, the community had been torn on what to do with the ice rink. The rink is in need of expensive repairs and is not as selfsustaining as other buildings within the park. Many groups that might utilize the rink and help it raise a profit, such as out-of-town hockey leagues, cannot do so due to a lack of

parking on the premises. The plan is to build a recreation center at the rink’s location. The rec center will be used for expanded programs from the Aubudon Center and Living Classrooms Foundation. Another concern from the community was that the removal of the rink would eliminate the legacy of the rink’s namesake, Dominic “Mimi” DiPietro. DiPietro was a former councilman of the first district and was also known by locals as the “Mayor of Highlandtown.” “There will never be anyone who will care about his community the way he did. He thought it was a privilege to serve it and I don’t want his memory to be erased,” wrote Lenora “Peachy” Dixon, DiPietro’s niece, in a letter to the Baltimore Guide. Wall, who knows the DiPietro family, said that Mimi’s name will remain on the ice rink wherever it goes. Regardless, the current ice rink will not be demolished until the new rink is completed and open for business. The ice rink opened for the winter season three weeks ago. Wall excitedly spoke about the variety of programs they have this year, such as adult broomball and a youth hockey program. He has lived near the park his entire life and has been volunteering at the park since he was 14 years-old. “It’s been a tough thing for me, but I think its something that needs to be done. We’ll figure it all out,” he said. The ice rink is celebrating its 48th year in the park this year. Wall is hopeful that it will make it to 50. “The ice rink is the Southeast’s crown jewel and we have to protect her and keep all the enemies at bay. For the sake of what the ice rink has meant to the community, we’re going to make sure we’re making the right decision,” said Wall.
