Friends and family remember Leto’s love for lifeBy ERIK ZyGMOnT [email protected]“We didn’t think we’d need all this space, but obviously we did,” said Diane Posko to a couple hundred friends and family mem-bers gathered at Fell’s Point’s Polish Home Club last Friday to celebrate the life of Kimberly Leto.

Posko, Leto’s sister, said that Leto would not have wanted the event to be sad. “She would love for us to all focus on how much we all loved her and her smile and laugh,” Posko said. She also mentioned her sister’s “abso-lutely wicked” sense of humor and deep affinity for the spiritual.“Although Kim was not associated with a specific religion, she was very spiritual,” said Posko. “She had an uncanny ability to understand these ancient texts.” Jan Dietrich, a spiritual mentor for Leto, said that she “really valued the presence of God in her life.”

Red Line activist says train’s future in doubt

Thames Street Park donations total $112,500

Grant Corley of the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association told residents at Monday night’s PPNA meeting that a major push would be needed to keep the Red Line project moving forward.

“The new governor-elect is planning to kill the Red Line,” said Corley, who is also part of the Red Line Now! organization.

Corley said that a Charles Village Red Line proponent he has been in contact with was scheduled to meet with Governor-elect Larry Hogan this Friday.

“Hey, if you’re opposed to the Red Line, go ahead and send him a thank you, because it’s a great day for you,” Corley said.

He encouraged residents in favor of the

At their meeting last Wednesday, Nov. 5, Fell’s Point Residents Association leaders reported on the progress of an effort to raise money for a new playground at Thames Street Park.

Overall, the effort raised about $12,500 in a month, leaders said. The playground is set to receive a $100,000 upgrade, thanks to a grant. When the funding was announced, Friends of Thames Street Park had endeavored to raise more money to help make more improvements.

In addition to individual donations through the website GoFundMe, the effort has received some big donations.

One big chunk came from the Park-O-Ween fundraiser, which was held in the early

Red Line to send Hogan emails at [email protected]. Corley added that he and other Red Line activists were trying to organize a show of support for the proposed rail line through the Greater Baltimore Committee.

“It’s going to be great for the City of Baltimore,” Corley said. “If you look at really good transit projects across the city, they’re great for the neighborhoods they pass through, and great for real estate values.”

He added that, if built, the Red Line would “make Highlandtown a really hot neighborhood.”

Whether or not Hogan will continue with plans for the Red Line has been a major media topic since he won the election last week.

evening hours of Halloween. The party attracted about 200 families, and raised about $2,300. Another big check came from the production company that runs Veep. On the day of the meeting, they dropped a $1,500 check, according to FPRA Secretary Kelly Navas-Migueloa.

But the Association didn’t get money everywhere they asked. The Bozzuto Group, a development firm which built the Union Wharf apartments in Fell’s Point, didn’t support the fundraising effort.

“We did reach out to Bozzuto and they denied any kind of donation on the park,” FPRA President David Martz said.

The news was met with hisses from the crowd.

Fell’s Point takes another look at permit parkingBY STEPHEN [email protected]

said that residential permits are the equivalent of a “hunting permit.”

“Isn’t it interesting that we have to pay for this hunting permit, and all of the people who take our parking pay nothing?” Johnson said.

To show proof that residents deserve more, Johnson went further up the totem pole than Baltimore City.

In 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that city regulations that kept commuters from parking in certain permitted areas of Arlington, Virginia, were constitutional under the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

“Residents of an area have the right to insist that non-residents don’t take our parking,” Johnson said.

While FPRA didn’t support any specific solutions, Johnson floated one idea based on the permitting system used in Federal Hill. Under that model, drivers who do not have a permit can park for two hours in residential zones between the 7 am. and 6 p.m. Outside of those daytime hours, you can’t park there for any amount of time without a permit.

Association leaders said they hoped to come up with a solution they can get behind over the course of the next year.

When it comes to parking in Fell’s Point, it’s always hunting season. But since the spots in question are more likely to likely to be occupied by a truck than a buck, a group of residents may be ready for some new regulations.

“We need to stand up for our rights,” David Johnson told Fell’s Point Residents Association members at the group’s Nov. 5 meeting.

He received mostly positive response.Using visual aids, Johnson gave a

presentation regarding the state of parking in Fell’s Point. Specifically, he was referring to Area 16, which is the neighborhood’s residential parking zone. The increasingly tourist-friendly and nightlife area is often congested, pushing visitors beyond pay areas into the neighborhood’s residential parking zones.

Since current regulations allow two-hour parking in residential areas for any driver, including people who don’t have permits, Johnson said city officials have essentially

Carolina Tex Mex Restaurant hearing creates strange alliance

Yenys and Pedro Silva, proprietors of Carolina Tex-Mex Restaurant, 505 S. Broadway, appeared before the Liquor Board last Thursday to answer to charges of an unauthorized bar on the establishment’s second floor.

Yenys Silva is the licensee for the restaurant, along with Thomas Hamrick.

During the course of the hearing, it came out that the second-floor bar had existed since before 2005, when the Silvas took over the business. There was also contradicting testimony between the licensee—who contented that the bar was a “service bar” for waitstaff—and two Liquor Board inspectors—Karen Brooks and Joanne Martin—who testified that the bar was set up for direct customer interaction.

“There have been no alterations to that property, is that correct?” Atty. Melvin Kodenski asked his client, Yenys Silva, who answered in the affirmative.

The licensees had been charged with four violations, including a charge of altering the property in order to change the manner in which liquor is dispensed; two charges of not cooperating with the Liquor Board (these charges refer to the restaurant’s allegedly having a second-floor bar); a charge of improper storage of alcohol; and a sanitation charge for not having a three-compartment sink or disinfectant solution for the second-floor bar.

Following testimony, the Liquor Board dismissed all charges for “various evidentiary” reasons, per Chairman Thomas Ward, except for the two cooperation charges, which he deemed redundant and condensed into one charge.

“I find this a technical violation, and I have to issue a fine of $250,” said Ward.

Carolina Tex-Mex is slated to appear before the board on Nov. 20 for an application to add outdoor seating and live entertainment. Commissioner Dana Moore said that the establishment should not continue to have a second-floor bar in the meantime:

“We’ve got to get out of the business of allowing people to violate, then we find there’s a violation, but it’s ‘okay,’” she said, referring to the recurring situation in which a given establishment has been operating, long-term, in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of its liquor license.

“I’m very much informed by our previous situation with the Latin Palace,” Moore added.

This hearing was unique in that it placed Kodenski and Joanne Masopust—president of the Fell’s Point Community Organization and a neighborhood activist who’s had a few battles with the veteran liquor lawyer—on the same side of the issue.

“This is an establishment that hasn’t presented a problem to the community,” said Masopust, after being called to the stand by Kodenski as part of his case in favor of Carolina Tex Mex.

The oddity of the temporary alliance was not lost on Moore.

“The record ought to reflect that there are weird things going on at the Liquor Board,” she said.

Next week, Carolina Tex Mex returns to the board to request live entertainment and outdoor seating, two enhancements for which it had sought—and received—approval from the Fell’s Point Community Organization.

tODeer meets untimely end near Boh Tower

When driving in Baltimore, you brake often, usually to avoid other drivers doing incomprehensible things.

Last Wednesday morning, a driver heading west over the O’Donnell St. bridge, near the Natty Boh tower, braked for a different reason, to avoid hitting a male deer.

“It happened directly in front of me,” recalled Mike Scheers of Canton, who was on his way to work for his masonry company, Quality Masonry by Mike.

Sheers didn’t hit the deer, but the car in front of him did, he said. A young couple immediately leaped out, grabbing their baby from the back seat, Scheers said.

“They were crying.”Scheers said that he walked up to assess

the situation. He said that the car was “definitely totaled,” with airbags deployed, and that the deer, killed instantly, was lying 10-15 feet in front of the wrecked car. Scheers informed the couple that they had hit a deer, news which made them “relieved,” he said.

Sheers reports that the deer was taken by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and butchered.

“It did not die in vain,” he said. Reports of the deer had flickered over

Facebook that morning.“A buck with nice antlers just ran south

on Highland Avenue past Pratt, heading towards Eastern,” posted Mark Parker at 8:36 a.m. “I love this neighborhood.”

“I’m a city kid, so I can’t tell you how many points it had on its antlers,” Parker later told the Guide. “It was fast. It was bookin’ it.”

Parker said that a friend of his on the 300 block of S. Clinton St. observed the deer turn south onto Clinton from Gough, knocking down some landscaping in the process.

Ken D’Loughy, a regional manager for the Maryland Wildlife and Heritage Service, told the Guide that deer are not uncommon within city limits, appearing from time to time in Druid Hill Park, Cylburn Arboretum, the industrial south Baltimore area, and near the Beltway interchanges.

“During the breeding season, the males tend to be on the move much more,” he added. “At some point along the way, they can get spooked or chased, and then they end up in a developed area.”

The deer wasn’t the only run-in city residents have had with wild animals in recent weeks. A beaver was photographed on S. President St., and a Canton resident reported finding a raccoon in a cage trap.

D’Loughy was non-plussed by such sightings.

“Those are pretty much common residents, even within city limits,” he said.

Monday afternoon, City Councilman James Kraft, with City Council President Bernard “Jack” Young, announced his intention to forgo the under-discussion 5-cent plastic bag fee in favor of an outright ban on plastic grocery and convenience store bags altogether.

“There are times when the stars align and we get a unique opportunity to do the thing we wanted to do,” said Kraft at a press conference at City Hall.

He said that the midterm elections of 2014 had made two things clear to him: that “people care about progressive issues,” but at the same time “people do not want to pay any more taxes or fees.”

“We got the message,” Kraft said. In addition to Young, Kraft was joined in

his announcement with City Council members Mary Pat Clarke, Sharon Green Middleton, Robert Curran, Bill Henry and Helen Holton.

Young said that the City Council has been

“pretty much in agreement” that there is a need to “reduce dependence on plastic bags.”

“I decided the best course of action was to pursue an outright ban on plastic bags,” said Young.

Middleton said that she had been “outright against the fee for many, many years,” but at a recent neighborhood clean-up, a senior resident said, “Boy, I am tired of cleaning up these plastic bags.”

“These are the type of things that stick with me,” Middleton said.

“Everybody’s giving away reusable bags,” commented Holton. “Let’s just find an opportunity to use them more.”

During the question portion of the press conference, the Baltimore Sun’s Luke Broadwater noted that there were public hearings regarding the 5-cent fee.

“Do you think we should have a hearing before voting?” he asked, after it had been established that the City Council would vote on the ban that very night.

Kraft replied that at the previous hearing, various recommendations had been made—

for higher fees, for paper bags, and for the outright ban—and that the proposed ban was a direct result of that.

The City Council passed the bill, but several sources have since reported that

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has said she would veto it, along with a bill out of City Council that would require police officers to wear body cameras.

Last Saturday, the HIghlandtown Gallery, 248 S. Conkling St., hosted a community screen-painting event. in which residents were invited to paint screens that would later adorn the upper windows of the gallery building.

Painted screens are an important part of Baltimore’s folk history, and they have received more attention as of late, thanks to folklorist Elaine Eff’s acclaimed book, “The Painted Screens of Baltimore: An Urban Folk Art Revealed.”

Painted screens can be found throughout Baltimore, though they are particularly prevalent in the Southeast. There is a push underway in HIghlandtown to reviving the art, and plans for a painted-screens walking tour are underway.

For more information on painted screens, visit paintedscreens.org.

The row houses that line the streets of Highlandtown may suggest a homogeneous way of life inside the walls.

Upon closer examination, however, it’s easy to see that the cracks and subtle differences in each house provide plenty of character.

Once inside the homes, the diversity is even greater.

On Saturday, Nov. 8, the ninth edition of the Highlandtown “Basement” Bar Tour offered residents from Highlandtown and other areas of Baltimore a chance to pull back the shades.

On this occasion, peering into a house wasn’t the mischievous moment of an idle walker. At participating houses, it was welcomed.

The tour started at the Y! Art Gallery, a former Sons of Italy Lodge at 3042 Gough St. The space is set to house an art gallery, store and studios. While it isn’t ready to open to the public quite yet, the optimism and possibility surrounding the space served as a good starting point.

The “basement” portion of the tour was represented by artist Daniel Schiavone. The upstairs portion of his home at 244 S. Highland Ave. houses an art gallery. Underneath, however, is the scene of the former Highlandtown Moose Lodge. The space is still outfitted with a bar, seats and, as expected, plenty of moose antlers.

While other portions of the tour weren’t necessarily bars in basements, there were plenty of surprises to discover behind closed doors. The living room and kitchen of one beautifully designed home gave way to a full service, single-seat salon. At another house, a waterfall made its way down a copper backsplash on the landing between the first and second stories.

The surprises were also subtle. Perhaps it was the ample supply of adult beverages, but the delight that participants took in discovering small touches--such as a refrigerator door that doubled as a chalkboard--spread through the crowds easily.

The night ended with roasted chestnuts and a well-stoked fire outside DiPasquale’s. Despite the chilly night, most of the tour participants stuck around to mingle as the flames burned bright.

church: Opinions differ

states that three town homes with garages will soon be standing where the church is now.

Leibensperger said that after Mason Properties bought the church, the developers spoke with him and PPNA East Sector Vice President Pat Lundberg, and that he and Lundberg indicated their support for the town home project.

But after Preston contacted him about the church, and mentioned the possibility of getting the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation—CHAP—involved, Leibensperger said that he pulled together PPNA’s board of directors, which voted unanimously against “the CHAP push.”

To request to CHAP that the property be added to the city’s historic Landmark List could result in a six-month stop-order to all development activity while the agency decides whether the property meets the right criteria to be added to the list. If CHAP were to add the property to the list, demolition would not be an option.

Leibensperger enumerated several reasons “to not support the CHAP push.”

These reasons included, Leibensperger said, the need for development in that area of the neighborhood, the lack of commercial developers interested in the property, the lack of historical significance (in the board’s opinion) to the property, the desire to not scare developers away from the Patterson Park neighborhood, and the general poor condition of the church.

Leibensperger also noted that there had been no discussion with the developers regarding an interest to preserve the building.

“This is going to mess things up for them,” he said. “They bought the property with cash.”

Lastly, Leibensperger said, the board voted against going to CHAP because of the possibility of litigation. He added that he and another board member are lawyers.

“We both agree that it’s possible,” Leibensperger said. “Whether it would be successful is another matter, but the board doesn’t want to sustain a lawsuit against it.”

Several residents questioned the board’s decision to support the development without bringing it to the PPNA membership.

“The board didn’t feel it was necessary to bring the transfer of a residential property to a residential buyer to develop a residential development,” Leibensperger said, noting that the property is in a residential zone.

Comparisons to 101 Ellwood, the former Highlandtown Middle School building at Pratt and Elwood, which was renovated, rather than demolished, to house apartment units, came up several times.

“The Highlandtown Middle School project was the board coming to the community and

saying, ‘Hey Community, what would you like to do with this situation?’” said resident Scott Robinson. “What I hope comes out of this, at the very least, is the board says, ‘Hey Rest of the Community, we hear you—we’re going to take the time to stop the building temporarily from being demolished.’” “The difference was the community was communicating with the developer,” replied Leibensperger, again referring to the fact that the developer of 3035 E. Baltimore St. was, as of Monday night, unaware that there was community opposition to tearing the church down.

Summer Gonter pointed out that the Highlandtown Middle School/101 Ellwood debates also took place before the building had been sold, and with a few different possible developers, whereas 3035 E. Baltimore St. has already been bought.

Resident Grant Corley noted that while an adaptive re-use—specifically as a brew pub—would be “awesome,” three town homes would also be better than an abandoned church.

“I do not think we should be jumping all over the board,” he added.

Resident Matt Gonter posited that Preston’s call for a membership vote on whether to start the CHAP process was premature.

“This developer, to do what he wants to do, he’s got to got through the BMZA,” Gonter said, adding that the Baltimore Municipal Zoning and Appeals Board has a full calendar through December. He suggested that residents wait until PPNA elections in January, and then choose board members either for or against CHAP-ing the church.

Leibensperger said that he could get the developers to speak to the PPNA membership in the near future.

According to the cornerstone of the Bethel Reformed Church, it was built from 1912 to 1914, making the building 100 years old. Preston said that the names of past community members are inscribed in the building’s original windows.

In his arguments for preserving the structure, he has made note of several similar adaptive rehab efforts in the city, including Sanctuary Bodyworks in Fell’s Point (at the former St. Stanislaus Church), and the Canton Montessori School (housed in a church building).

Preston distributed information to PPNA members about adaptive rehab projects and tax credits available. One of the items he passed out was an article on the Church Brew Works, a brew pub housed in a former church in Pennsylvania.

“Why can’t we have Church Brew Works?” said Preston. “Heck, we have enough brewers in this neighborhood.”

On Monday night, the association ultimately held no vote on whether to pursue a CHAP designation.

The deer tick, your dog, and Lyme disease

PET CAREBy Adriene Buisch

Lyme disease is the leading tick-borne disease in the United States and one of the most common in the world, not only for humans but for dogs too.

According to the Companion Animal Parasite Council 2014 report, in Maryland, one in 12 dogs were positive for Lyme disease in a testing pool of 75,465 dogs. Baltimore County ranked as the second-highest county in Maryland for Lyme-positive dogs, with one in nine dogs testing positive. Those are the stats, so let’s get to the facts.

Lyme disease is caused by a spirochete, a corkscrew shaped bacteria, called Borrelia Burgdorferi, carried by the deer tick. The bacteria is transmitted through the tick bite, enters the blood stream, and is carried to several parts of the body, most commonly localizing in the joints. Deer ticks are more common in wooded and tall grassy areas, however they can be carried by any wild animal, including birds and rodents, so just because you live in the city doesn’t mean your dog is safe.

The good news is that if you find a deer tick on your dog, it doesn’t mean your dog has contracted Lyme disease. An infected tick must be attached for approximately 12 hours

to transmit the bacteria. The bad news is that if your dog was bit, it could take two to five months to detect infection. The bacteria has a very slow multiplication rate, making it difficult to test for the disease shortly after being bitten. Unlike humans, it is rare to have a rash or bulls-eye at the bite site, and very few exposed dogs will show clinical signs of the disease.

Infected dogs may suddenly go lame and look like they are “walking on eggshells.” Other symptoms include inflammation of joints, stiff, painful walking, sensitivity to touch, fever and lack of appetite. If left untreated, Lyme disease can cause kidney disease, heart abnormalities, or nervous system disease.

Although there is not a vaccine for humans, there is a vaccine available for dogs. Monthly tick prevention and vaccination are the most effective methods for prevention. There are antibody and titer tests to detect the disease, and most importantly Lyme disease can be treated with antibiotic therapy such as tetracyclines and penicillin-like medications. Talk to your vet to make sure you know the needed facts.

Last Thursday, however, the Liquor Board decided that the Latin Palace had not fully addressed an item within that MOU, and denied the club the privilege of having live entertainment. The item referred to the club’s soundproofing, an issue which has come up over the last couple Liquor Board hearings.

On Thursday, Oct. 30, Liquor Board inspector Joanne Martin testified that though the club had added soundproofing, it hadn’t done so to the letter of the specifications spelled out in the MOU. Provisions were made for a pre-Halloween sound test involving the abutting residents, which would have allowed the Latin Palace to have live entertainment on Halloween, if the results were satisfactory. The Liquor Board, beginning to display impatience with the drawn-out process, also postponed the hearing so the club could come back the following week with soundproofing work completed to the specifications of the MOU.

The club did not have entertainment Halloween night, but it did the following night, on Saturday, Nov. 1, and at last Thursday’s hearing, neighbor Dawn Gilliam reported that the sound that night was still loud enough that her family had filed a 311 complaint.

At last Thursday’s Liquor Board hearing, as things were, in Chairman Thomas Ward’s words, “not looking good” for Latin Palace liquor licensee Jose Ribadeneira, Commissioner Harvey Jones told Ribadeneira that he was not inclined to grant any more postponements.

“Instructions have been given as to what was needed,” said Jones, “and it seems the owner of the Latin Palace doesn’t have the ability to correct this on his own.”“We’ve been down this way several times already.” Jones continued, “and you just don’t seem to understand that there will come a time when we are tired.”

Commissioner Dana Moore echoed Jones’ comments, and mentioned that, because she had “liked” the club’s Facebook page, she had seen “a great level of contemptuousness that is displayed toward this board.”

“There’s a real sort of in-your-face attitude toward what is required, and I find that extremely, extremely disturbing, coupled with the utter failure to do what is required,” Moore added. “Add to that the effect on your neighbor, and it’s really, really difficult.”

After the three commissioners voted “no”on granting the Latin Palace another postponement, they heard another case while giving Ribadeneira and his daughter time to decide whether to move forward with their request for live entertainment, or to withdraw

their case entirely. Ribadeneira represented himself throughout the hearing, without an attorney present.

After the recess, Ribadeneira and his daughter informed the commissioners that they intended to proceed with their case. Commissioner Moore asked Liquor Board inspectors if they had found a level of sound in the establishment that would not disturb the neighbors. (Previously, Chief Inspector Shelton Jones had testified that levels of “5” on the volume and master switches exceeded reasonable noise limits.) Moore inquired about levels of “3” and “2.”

Ribadeneira’s daughter asked the commissioners if the Latin Palace could continue with live entertainment so long as the club keep volume levels at a level satisfactory to the neighbors,while in the meantime improving the soundproofing. Earlier in the hearing, Ribadeneira had reported that, since the sound tests, he had taken several measures to lessen the noise for the neighbors, including removing four speakers.

The community members present, including Joanne Masopust, president of the Fell’s Point Community Organization, represented by Atty. Susan Hughes of the Community Law Center, declined to enter into such an agreement with Latin Palace.

With nothing to left to do but vote on whether the establishment would get live entertainment, the commissioners did just that, with Jones and Ward voting “no” and Moore voting “yes.”

The Latin Palace must wait six months before again requesting that the Liquor Board remove live entertainment restrictions from the liquor license. It is unclear whether the bar would have had to wait that long had it withdrawn its application rather than proceeded with it.

Friends and family remember Leto’s love for lifeBy ERIK ZyGMOnT [email protected]“We didn’t think we’d need all this space, but obviously we did,” said Diane Posko to a couple hundred friends and family mem-bers gathered at Fell’s Point’s Polish Home Club last Friday to celebrate the life of Kimberly Leto.

Posko, Leto’s sister, said that Leto would not have wanted the event to be sad. “She would love for us to all focus on how much we all loved her and her smile and laugh,” Posko said. She also mentioned her sister’s “abso-lutely wicked” sense of humor and deep affinity for the spiritual.“Although Kim was not associated with a specific religion, she was very spiritual,” said Posko. “She had an uncanny ability to understand these ancient texts.” Jan Dietrich, a spiritual mentor for Leto, said that she “really valued the presence of God in her life.”

St. to the east, Fairmount Ave. to the south, with Haven St. as the nearest western street boundary. It has a basketball court, playground equipment and an open field where Gentry says three generations of her family played.“I thought the meeting was about fixing the park up,” she says. “Not taking it away.”

Janney Street Park has no obvious signage indicating that it is a city park, save for a weathered rusty sign hanging from the park’s chain-linked fence with the acronym POS—indicating that the park is or was affiliated with Program Open Space, a program that conserves natural

Cathy Gentry didn’t think that neighborhood parks could disappear, but she may find out otherwise.Last November she and some of her Janney St.-area neighbors attended a meeting of the city and the Baltimore Development Corporation informing them that the nearby Pompeian Olive Oil Company was interested in expanding and would like to buy Janney Street Park from the city—and the city was considering selling it to them.

Janney Street Park, at 140 Janney St., is a 1.5 acre park in a heavily industrial area. It is bordered broadly by Fayette St. to the north, Janney

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
