POTOMAC ST. FIRE: fundraiserCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The community has rallied to show support for the displaced occupants at this trying time.

Tavern on the Square at 2903 O’Donnell St. teamed up with the Church on the Square to host a fundraiser on Wednesday, December 23 to help the affected residents.

“Any monetary donations or Target gift cards will be highly appreciated. We will have a cash bucket out for donations. As stated before, we will also be donating 15% of our sales tonight! Many local businesses have really came together to get some great items together that we will raffle off tonight. All the raffle money will also be donated,” wrote Tavern on the Square on their Facebook page.

On a rainy night, many neighbors came to Tavern on the Square to enjoy dinner and some drinks while participating in raffles for the fundraiser.

Kristin Graham, the general manager of Tavern on the Square, said she was working at the bar when she saw the smoke from the fire. Graham said she didn’t understand how bad the fire was until she saw it the next morning in the daylight. She called it “complete destruction” and said she felt a responsibility to help her neighbors.

“It’s the holidays and if we can’t give back at this time and get together and pull together as a neighborhood, then it’s not looking good. It’s been amazing. We’ve gotten people calling in with donations, people dropping checks off, and people coming in offering to donate goods and services. They just want to help. It’s wonderful,” she said.

She added the businesses on O’Donnell Square offered their support, many offering prizes for Tavern On The Square’s raffle.

For example, some items up for auction included cooking lessons at Pierpoint Restaurant, a one-month membership to Peak Performance gym, and art prints from local

artist, Mike Costello. Graham said she even called in a favor with

Miller Lite, who donated money and two club level seats to the Ravens vs. Steelers game.

All the money raised will be split between the families.

“It’s something to start with. We want them to know that this neighborhood cares about them and that they’re a part of this community. Baltimore is a great city and we can pull together and help people out and give them a little holiday cheer,” said Graham.

James Hamilton, the priest at Church on the Square, has been in contact with the families who lost their homes.

He said that they all have found places to stay and are working to rebuild.

He said that the biggest things they need are everyday items, like clothes and furniture. Although the homes were insured, Hamilton said there are still gaps in the coverage that need to be covered. The Church on the Square is accepting donations. You can drop off checks or money at the church at 1025 S Potomac St. or donate online at https://pushpay.com/kiosk/cotsbalt/AeATTwkA-BjYur8LC6vAcw. (Put “fire” after your name in the form.)

“I wanted to let Canton know how much my roommates and I appreciate the overwhelming support from everyone as they passed by. The sheer number of people offering beds to sleep in, clothes to wear, food, supplies, etc. was absolutely incredible. I also wanted to confirm that everyone on the block made it out and are safe and sound tonight. At this point, everything is replaceable. Thanks again for being an absolutely incredible neighborhood,” said Mike Brown, whose home was one of the ones affected by the fire, on Facebook. “Shout out to the Baltimore Fire Department for a super quick response, for being extremely hospitable, and for salvaging most of my house! Thanks again neighbors. You are truly amazing people!”

NAACP, ACLU files complaints against Hogan calling Red Line cancellation racial discrimination

by GIANNA DECARLO [email protected]

A group of civil rights organizations have criticized Governor Larry Hogan’s cancellation of the Red Line. In a federal complaint filed against the Hogan administration this week, the NAACP and ACLU of Maryland said that Hogan cancelling the transit lines was racially discriminatory, calling it a “critical civil rights issue.”

The coalition said that the Red Line would’ve connected those in West Baltimore and in primarily African-American neighborhoods, to jobs and opportunities throughout the city while reducing travel time.

“The cancellation of the Red Line, rather than being a cost-saving measure, was simply a naked transfer of resources from the project corridor’s primarily African-American population to other rural and suburban parts of the state,” states the complaint from the organizations.

The NAACP and ACLU are demanding an investigation by the U.S. Department of Transportation into Hogan’s decision to cancel the Red Line. The complaint suggests cutting off federal funding to other transportation services until the state begins construction on the Red Line or comes up with a suitable alternative.

“Shifting resources from public transit in Baltimore to highways and bridges outside of the city has a discriminatory impact on African-American residents,” said Sherrilyn Ifill, President & Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. “Baltimore residents rely on public transportation to travel to work and school. The Governor has not offered an appropriate alternative to ease public transit woes in Baltimore.”

Ifill said that the cancellation was “just the latest chapter in a long history of racially discriminatory decisions regarding the allocation of transportation and housing resources” within Maryland.

Hogan announced the cancellation of the $2.9 billion Red Line project in June. He then said the money raised for the transit line would be rerouted into building highways and improving streets in more suburban neighborhoods. In October, Hogan announced City Link, a $135 million project that would update the city’s bus routes.

“A transportation economist, using Maryland’s own travel model found that whites will receive 228 percent of the net benefit from the decision while African Americans will

receive 124 percent. The decision to cancel the Red Line and divert the resources elsewhere was only the latest in the State’s long historical pattern of deprioritizing the needs of Baltimore’s primarily African-American population, many of whom are dependent on public transportation,” states the complaint.

Hogan’s administration responded to the complaint, saying that it didn’t have any grounding in fact and that the claims of racism were unfounded.

“Ultimately, this so-called complaint has absolutely zero credibility or legal standing, and is essentially nothing more than a press release,” said the Hogan administration’s spokesman, Doug Mayer. “Governor Hogan is fully committed to improving transportation in Baltimore, which is why he recently unveiled a plan to fully transform the city transit system and has been fighting for increased highway user revenues since the moment he stepped into office. The Red Line didn’t move forward because it was poorly designed and simply unaffordable with at least a $1 billion tunnel running through the heart of the city.”

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a longtime proponent of the Red Line, also responded, saying that she supports the complaint.

“There is a clear need for a public transportation system that works for the city of Baltimore. For years, the state has attempted and failed to meet their obligation here. We can see there is a gap between the need and what is provided... I’ve yet to see anything from the state that effectively closes those gaps,” she said.

…just thelatest chapter in a long history of racially discriminatory decisions…

HAPPY HOLIDAYS


JANUARY:The Southeast community mourned the

loss of Jackie Watts, former editor of the Guide and an advocate for the Southeast Anchor Library. They gathered at her favorite bar, Birds of a Feather, to share their memories of her and look back on the legacy she left behind.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced that small businesses will have reduced minor privilege fees at High Grounds coffee shop in Highlandtown. Rawlings-Blake said the initiative will ease the financial burden on small business owners as well as encourage new establishments to open in the district.

“Anytime I don’t have to pay a fee or tax, I can put it back into the business: for more employees, raises for the existing employees, and I can improve the interior of the coffee shop,” said Michael Wood, the owner of High Grounds.

Major Deron Garrity of the Southeast Police Department looked back on his first year as major and outlined the future of crime prevention. He said that robberies, over 500 of them, were the most pressing concern for the district. He also said that in 2015 more officers will be placed on foot patrol and that violent repeat offenders will be targeted.

Conkling St. got some funky new seats as part of a creative placemaking project, BARCS brought mobile adoptions to the Southeast, and the Ravens ALMOST snagged another AFC title.

FEBRUARY:Councilman Jim Kraft announced that he

would not be seeking reelection as 1st district councilman. It was later revealed that Kraft will run for a judgeship on Baltimore’s Circuit Court in 2016.

This announcement kicked off a scramble of candidates running for City Council and vying for the district’s votes.

Renovations began on Joseph Lee Park, including new flower gardens, tennis courts, and walking trails. Many dedicated volunteers from within the community came out to spruce up the park and promote it in their neighborhood.

“We don’t have a lot of green spaces in Baltimore, and this is a real gem,” says Janine Coye, a resident of the Bayview neighborhood and president of the Friends of Joseph Lee Park. “These things become really important to human beings--their souls, their healing, and wellness and their enjoyment of life.”

Also, Erik Zygmont, our intrepid editor for two and a half years, left the Guide to write for the Catholic Review.

The transformation of the Rec Pier in Fell’s Point from a “steel skeleton” to a luxury hotel began. The Canton Public Library renovation was delayed once again, and the Patterson Park Master Plan process began.

MARCH:Senator Barbara Mikulski, a Highlandtown

native and supporter, kicked off March by announcing that she will retire in 2016.

“I had to ask myself this question: Am I campaigning for me, or am I campaigning for my constituents? Am I raising money or raising hell?” said Mikulski, who is the longest-serving female Senator in history and the first woman to chair the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Our first candidate for Kraft’s council seat, Zeke Cohen, emerged, kicking off a heated campaign season.

The mystery of the Canton Hum (which turned out to be noise from the nearby gypsum processing plant) confounded many as the Southeast saw some new business openings with La Tolteca and Peak Performance.

The community rallied when local restaurant, Water For Chocolate suffered damage after a fire. Through GoFundMe, resident Scotty D.M. Schopman raised over $7000 to repair the restaurant.

“There are seriously no words. I have never

seen, nor been a part of such a moving community gesture of kindness. It has been so incredible to see this just keep growing and growing throughout the day,” said Schopman.

The death of Little Italy legend and bistro owner, Marion ‘Mugs’ Mugavero, saddened the community. Mugavero Confectionery on Fawn Street was a community staple and everybody knew the friendly face of Mugs.

APRIL:April was probably the hardest and most

memorable month for Baltimore. Following the death of Freddie Gray while

in police custody, a sense of anxiety, tension, and fear emerged within our city. On April 28, this tension bubbled over and turned to violence as rioting and looting broke out across the city, starting at Mondawmin Mall. While the destruction was mostly centered in West Baltimore, the violence spilled into the Southeast. Several businesses had their windows broken and their merchandise stolen.

This rocked and horrified residents, but it didn’t stop them from helping each other get back on their feet.

The community came together in unprecedented ways to rebuild. Neighbors helped sweep up broken glass and went door-to-door to provide support and resources. Matthew’s Pizza and other restaurants even donated food to clean-up crews. As a result of one dark night, we became the best neighbors we could be for each other.

The first public meeting of the Patterson Park Master Plan, which would gather feedback from the community that would guide the direction of the park for the next decade, was held. Residents expressed small-scale concerns like the desire for better lighting and more trashcans. The idea of removing the Dominic “Mimi” DiPietro ice rink was brought up, much to the ire of many residents.

Mark Parker, a pastor from Highlandtown, joined the 1st District councilman race.

Residents fought back against a proposal by the Department of Transportation that would remove parking spaces from the congested Aliceanna St. during rush hour.

The Emporiyum, which brought over 75 food vendors from all over the country, and the Highlandtown Wine Festival were two delicious taste-testing events and the Privateer Festival and the Greek Independence Parade took over the streets.

A murder/suicide in Canton Crossing, which turned out to be the result of a domestic dispute, horrified the community. Both victims were Shock Trauma nurses at the University of Maryland Medical Center.

The students at Highlandtown Elementary/Middle planted their own bird-friendly garden while students from Patterson Park Public Charter School competed in the VEX Robotics World.

“We have 7 seconds to make a first impression,” said Jenny Kessler Klump.

Klump is the executive director of Sharp Dressed Man, an organization that specializes in good first impressions by providing hand-fitted suits to men reentering the workforce.

Klump explains that many of their clients are experiencing homelessness or are trying to rebuild after being incarcerated.

She said that these men often have difficulty entering the workforce because they don’t have the proper wardrobe to make the most of their first impressions.

“If there’s a way that we can help these men who are trying to make their lives better by giving them an additional 7 seconds, by extending their opportunity, then we will do what we can. That’s our mission,” said Klump.

Sharp Dressed Man is a “recycled suit boutique” by Christopher Schafer, an independent tailor, and the founder of Christopher Schafer Clothier, a store at 1400 Aliceanna St., and his son, Seth.

“People judge a book by its cover and they’re going to look at them and just see a well-dressed man and their past won’t be obvious. I think that for the recipient it’s an outward sign of a new start,” said Schafer.

Sharp Dressed Man’s three-floor building, all floors loaded with clothes, is located at 235 Park Ave. It will be open every Wednesday from 12-2 p.m. and by appointment. Each client will get personally fitted and paired with a free winning outfit combination. Klump calls this “an intimate, one-on-one, unique process.”

Through this, they hope to suit 20 people a week, and over 1,000 in 2016.

Sharp Dressed Man began as a partnership between Schafer and the Living Classrooms foundation. Schafer had been collecting suits while the Living Classrooms provided the space. When that space got too small for the inventory, Schafer decided to expand this summer. The building required numerous renovations, but Schafer, with the help of a group of dedicated volunteers, turned it into the swanky boutique it is today.

Typically to get a suit a client must have a referral from a reputable organization, such as Living Classrooms or the Helping Up Mission. Most of the men who get a suit are part of a workforce training or reintegration program through these non-profits. However this week

Sharp Dressed Man hosted a holiday suit giveaway on Wednesday, December 23.

Over 450 people showed up, many of them waiting outside the building hours before it opened.

“I was shocked,” said Schafer, “Just floored.”

They clothed 220 men that day, and with that, hopefully, changed 220 lives.

Sharp Dressed Man is always taking donations. The suits should be in good condition, as well as clean and not out-of-date. They are especially looking for accessories like shoes, belts, and ties.

“We’re not a thrift store, we’re not looking for casual. We’re trying to be hyper focused on giving people clothes that they can wear for an interview so that they can look at themselves with confidence and get prepared for a fresh start,” said Schafer, who retells the story of a man who once brought in over $10,000 dollars worth of upscale clothes.

To donate, you can take the items to the

boutique on Wednesdays or to Christopher Schafer Clothier.

Both Schafer and Klump said that the transformation of the men and the spark in their eyes is amazing. They really do begin to see themselves in a different light, said Schafer.

“Some of these men have never worn a suit before. The transformation is amazing and we have the ability to give these guys who have been ignored and rejected and told off by most of society another chance and we get to say ‘you are important and you do deserve this, look at how good you look’,” said Klump.

Both are optimistic about the future and hope to expand it to be a national non-profit.

Klump said that the majority of charities that collect business attire focus mostly on women’s clothing, so Sharp Dressed Man is one-of-a-kind and serving its own underserved niche.

“This organization is right on the brink of doing something big. There aren’t really organizations that are doing this for men. It’s a unique opportunity to serve a population that is in need,” she said.

Sharp Dressed Man is always looking for volunteers. If interested visit the website listed below or e-mail Klump at [email protected].

Non-profit gives men new suits for new starts


BIRDS HOUSE by Andy MindzAk

Is there a spot in the Hall of Fame for Mike Mussina?

While there isn’t much baseball action for current Major League Baseball players in January (unless they are a free agent or have been traded), the first month of the year is when the Hall of Fame voters cast their ballots on who should be enshrined in Cooperstown. One player who is on the list again is former Oriole Mike Mussina.

Mussina, or “Moose” as he is affectionately known in Baltimore and New York, retired after the 2008 season and first became eligible to enter Cooperstown in 2014 but received just 20.3% of the votes. In order to get into the Hall of Fame, a player must be on at least 75% of the ballots, so as you can see Moose was a bit short during his first year of eligibility. Last year Mussina showed a slight increase as his number moved to 24.6%. He still has a way to go, but should he be in the Hall of Fame?

Over his 18 year career that started in 1991, the 20th overall pick of the 1990 draft finished his career with a record of 270–153 with an ERA of 3.68. Of those 18 seasons, 10 of them were in Baltimore before leaving to join the Yankees before the 2001 season where he stayed for eight years. Mussina was a five-time All-Star and finished in the top five for Cy Young voting six times. Moose was also an excellent fielder, winning seven Gold Gloves.

For those interested in WAR, Mussina

finished with a career WAR of 83.0 which ranks him 24th all-time among pitchers and 58th all-time among pitchers and position players, ahead of Hall of Fame players such as Nolan Ryan, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz and just 1 win above replacement behind Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez. Pretty good company.

Mussina was also solid in the playoffs. While his 7-8 record might not show that, his 3.42 ERA is impressive over 21 postseason starts. Baltimore fans will remember his amazing performance in the 1997 playoffs which saw the O’s eventually fall to the Cleveland Indians in the ALCS. During the 1997 playoffs, Mussina went 2-0 in four starts and surrendered only four runs in 29 innings, an ERA of 1.24.

He also struck out 41 batters over those 29 innings while walking only four. Completely dominant.

While many voters require a pitcher to obtain 300 wins to gain entrance into the Hall of Fame, Mussina’s 270 are equally impressive when you factor in he pitched during the steroid era. He earned at least 15 wins in a season 11 times and during his final year at age 39, finished with 20 wins as he went 20-9 with a 3.37 ERA in 2008.

No matter how I slice it, Mussina is a Hall of Famer when you look at his stats and also if you go with the gut check. Moose deserves to be in Cooperstown. What do you think?

Suspect #2 went behind the counter. They both stole money and then fled.

S. Clinton St., 700 block, December 19 at 7 p.m. The victim was walking when an African-American male between 16-20 years old, pushed her from behind. She fell to the ground and the suspect took her purse.

N. Lakewood Ave., 500 block, December 19 at 6:30 p.m. Victim was a Papa John’s. The victim stated that while en route to a delivery, a car pulled alongside of him and one suspect, an African-American male between 17-20 years old, exited the vehicle. The suspect grabbed him and said “Let me get all you have, I have a gun.” The suspect searched him and removed money and a cell phone. The driver of the suspect’s car exited the vehicle and punched the victim three times, took a pizza from his car, then fled in a white four-door vehicle.

E. Lombard St., 3000 block, December 20 at 4:10 p.m. The victim was walking to his father’s car when a silver Honda pulled next to him. Two African-American males exited the car and put the victim in a headlock and took the car keys. The suspects got into the father’s car, a 2000 Acura with the MD tag 7CB4572, and drove off in it.

E. Lombard St., 2100 block, December 21 at 9:12 p.m. The victim parked her car and was on the phone. She walked to Lombard and Duncan St. when an African-American male between 20-25 years old told her to “Hold up” and put a gun to her stomach. He took her purse. The victim observed the suspect getting into a white vehicle.

S. Broadway, 100 block, December 21 at 7:06 a.m. Three African-American males entered a 7/11 store. They were armed with a knife and demanded money and took the register drawer and several packs of Newport cigarettes.
