Early voting proponents emulate ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’
After a long fall campaign, the time to go to the polls finally arrived last week. To get people out to vote early, Cory McCray found the only answer was to roll up his sleeves. Before getting back to work, however, he grabbed a Sharpie and took a picture of his arms.
After he took advantage of the state’s weeklong early voting period, the candidate for state delegate in Baltimore City’s 45th District wrote “I Voted” on his arms, and posted a picture of himself on Facebook.
Using the social media tool in a way that had massive success during the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, McCray then tagged five friends, challenging them to get out and vote and post their own pictures.
“We’re all on social media, and we all want to be recognized for doing our part,” McCray said.
McCray heard about the idea from a friend in Colorado, but now the “I Voted” pictures began to spread in Maryland.

Liquor Board sides with opposition on Ritz expansionBY ERIK [email protected]
In a hearing that earned 19 attendees $50 bar tabs, and brought back former Liquor Board Chair Stephan Fogleman to argue for the opposition, the Liquor Board denied the Ritz Cabaret’s application to expand its BD-7 liquor license into an adjacent lot.
Liquor Board Commissioner Dana Moore told licensees David Hitchiner and Joseph Soltas that their proposal was “too slick by half.”
“It wasn’t presented very well,” she said, adding that it was “obvious there wasn’t any real thought” put into the proposed high-end steakhouse that was to be built next to the Ritz.
She also criticized a petition in favor of the expansion, on which one of the pages was written, “*every attendee to the hearing will receive $50 ritz bar tab*”

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.

Church on the Square holds first service; activities underway
Church on the Square, 1025 S. Potomac St., unveiled a renovated interior and new style of worship at its first service last weekend.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Church on the Square, a joint venture between the Lutheran and Episcopalian denominations, would take over the 125-year-old building on the east end of O’Donnell Square, which for over a century was Messiah Lutheran Church.
“This church, and the fact that we’re here, is really built on a whole bunch of people that I can’t even name,” said Rev. James Hamilton, the church’s new pastor, acknowledging the contributions “humble saints” over the twelve decades.
“Our communities are formed, often, not on the people we remember, but on the folks who are humble and maybe share a bit of emotion before they go on.”
Hamilton and others involved with Church on the Square stress that the church is open to all.
“Neither denominational nor non-denominational, the leaders claim a multi-denominational community in which individuals are supported by their sponsoring entities,” states a press release on Church on the Square.
In addition to weekly worship on Saturdays starting at 4 p.m. and daily morning prayer at 8:45 a.m., Church on the Square has purposed
its building for several community activities, including yoga (Mondays, 7 p.m.; Wednesdays 6 p.m.) and art classes (oil painting and beginning drawing). Hamilton said that meditation will be offered on Tuesdays at 7 p.m., starting Nov. 11.
The Canton Runners meet at the church for their daily runs. They can be found on Facebook.
Hamilton has said that these activities fulfill the church’s desire to share its space and be a part of the surrounding community; they are not recruitment tools for the church.
For more information on Church on the Square, visit churchonthesquarebaltimore.org. or find them on Facebook.

Latin Palace closer to compliance
by ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected] there is none,” she said. “I would say he’s got
to stop doing what he’s doing, and he needs to come in here, and he needs to comply,” she said.
The second part of Moore’s triple-compound sentence above refers to the fact that Ribadeneira himself was not at his hearing, scheduled for 11 a.m. last Thursday. It later came out that he had received faulty information from Liquor Board staff, leading him to believe his hearing was at 1 p.m.
When Ribadeneira arrived at 1 p.m., the board continued with his hearing. Ribadeneira told the commissioners that he had completed nearly everything in the MOU, except for “maybe an additional three hours of work” on the soundproofing.
The commissioners ordered him to appear once more before the Liquor Board this Thursday, Nov. 6, with the soundproofing complete.
Commissioner Harvey Jones insisted that Ribadeneira get a permit for the work.
“You need to have a permit,” he said. “You can’t do it because you don’t have a permit. You have to do it legally.”
In the meantime, Ribadeneira planned to perform a sound test with his neighbor. If the neighbor was satisfied with the result, then Ribadeneira was allowed to have live entertainment for Halloween, between last week’s hearing and this week’s.
Liquor Board Chair Thomas Ward told Atty. Susan Hughes, counsel for the Fell’s Point Community Organization, that he hoped Latin Palace would come into full compliance once and for all.
“Ms. Hughes I’ve seen enough of this case to last me a lifetime,” said Ward, “and I want it to go away.”
With a memorandum of understanding successfully negotiated with the Fell’s Point Community Organization, Latin Palace was nearly ready to resume limited live entertainment except for one small detail.
The MOU calls for soundproofing on the rear wall of the establishment, which butts up against a home.
At last week’s hearing in which Latin Palace licensee Jose Ribadeneira requested to have live entertainment restrictions removed from his liquor license, Liquor Board Inspector Joanne Martin told the board that, while the soundproofing setup did make a “significant difference” in noise funneling to the back of the establishment, Ribadeneira hadn’t followed the MOU to the letter and soundproofed the wall itself.
Liquor Board Commissioner Dana Moore argued that the board should hold him to it.
“The memorandum of understanding says that there is to be soundproofing on the wall;

Conkling Street’s Filippo’s takes it up a few notches
Those who have been hitting up Filippo’s for cheesesteaks and pizza for the last decade may be surprised to learn that the classic Highlandtown spot at 418 S. Conkling St. is now offering higher-end restaurant fare--such as steaks, fajitas and fresh seafood--as well as a fully-renovated bar.
“We’ve had this place since February, but we were busy renovating,” said Jassi Singh, new owner of Filippo’s, which will continue to offer its pizza parlor menu in addition to the new fare.
Filippo’s interior has undergone serious renovation, and now features a sizable, fully remodeled bar and lounge area, with over a dozen large-screen TVs.
Fifteen is the magic number at the bar, which is currently featuring 15 different martinis, 15 margaritas and 15 mostly-craft brews on tap.
“We’re on Conkling St., so we have to have Natty Boh,” acknowledged bar manager Bob Cook.
“We just really want to make this place more unique, and bring in the decent people of the neighborhood,” said Singh.
“We’re pulling them in so far; we’re getting the football crowd,” added Cook, who lives on Bank St. and has worked “everywhere from Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas to the Latin Palace in Fell’s Point.”
Cook said that the new Filippo’s has been snagging neighborhood residents on their way down to the Canton scene, for which Singh said that he wants his bar and restaurant to be an alternative.
“We’re just making this place upscale,” said Singh. “The neighborhood is growing.”
Chef Abraham said that Filippo’s seafood, including scallops, fish and chips, crab cakes and salmon, is “always fresh, never frozen.”
The menu includes four cuts of steak, including ribeye and New York strip, as well as pork chops and “sizzlers,” or pan-seared protein (shrimp, chicken or steak) with vegetables and “a touch of lime juice,” along with a selection of burgers, salads and appetizers.
Happy hour is 3-7 p.m. every day, except Sunday, which has happy-pricing all day, for $3 rail drinks and dollar-off drafts and wines.

Before Halloween, the large Latino community at Wolfe Street Academy honored the spirits of those who have passed on at their annual Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) celebration.
Organized by a group of parents, the Oct. 30 fi esta brought the traditions of the Mexican holiday to the Upper Fell’s Point school. Traditionally celebrated Nov. 1, Day of the Dead is known for pageantry featuring skulls and skeletons. But, according to Alma Saldana, the celebration is more focused on the idea that the spirit of a person who has passed away remains present.
“Basically we are celebrating life after death,” she said.
At the school celebration, the parents also featured traditions such as the Day of the Dead altar, and traditional dancing from two groups: a group of mothers who perform traditional folk dances known as Naciones Unidas, and Danza Guadalupana, who performed a devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Kim Wiggins was one of the people McCray tagged. Growing up in the South, she was surrounded by other African Americans who had to fight for their right to vote.
“People just take it so for granted here,” she said.
Wiggins went to her polling place at St. Casimir Parish in Canton. But there was nobody else at the church to spread the word to, aside from the workers.
“I went to vote and nobody was there,” Wiggins said, adding that that is usually the case when she takes part in early voting.
But when Wiggins took a picture and challenged five others, the solitary act of democratic participation got others involved. And the pictures were already getting around.
“You’re the fourth person to tag me,” one friend commented.
City Councilmember Brandon Scott, who helped McCray get the campaign going, also provided a lift. Eventually, the challenge made its way to Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, and gave Gov. Martin O’Malley another opportunity to show off his arms, and this time it wasn’t while he was playing guitar.
With a close race for governor at the top of the ballot, candidates were seeking any way
possible to boost voter turnout. The social media campaign came in a year when about 26,000 people, or 6.95 percent of eligible voters, took advantage of the eight-day early voting period. Designed to relieve congestion at the polls and encourage more participation, the early voting period provides a way to avoid the rush of Election Day.
WIth only one day to go vote, things can come up that prevent voters from getting to the polls. say proponents of early voting. Wiggins and McCray each listed off a host of examples: A child could get sick, a car accident, you could be forced to stay late at work, or there could be a family emergency.
“Anything can happen on Election Day where you think you’re going to out and vote…Early voting gives you an opportunity not to let stuff happen,” Wiggins said.
McCray found that the social media campaign became an important part of educating people about that opportunity.
For the first three days of early voting, turnout was below expectations.
“We were like, ‘Look, we got to step up. You got to engage folks that you don’t see on a regular basis,” McCray said.
But once they began to engage people

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
EARLY VOTING: Turnout rose through the week
through social media and other methods, McCray and other candidates noted an upswing. According to unofficial records, turnout rose from about 1,250 people on the third day of early voting to about 3,270 on the fourth day.
“That fourth day we saw that it was a higher engaged population,” McCray said. “It started to peak higher as the time went on.”
By the final day of early voting on Thursday,
Oct. 30, turnout was at its highest point of about 5,700 people, according to state records.
While the social media campaign may not have been solely responsible, McCray said it proved to be a way to engage people that may not have even considered voting. On one of the Early Voting days, the campaign reached 400 people through Facebook tagging.
“That’s 400 people that might not have been going to vote,” McCray said.

Sendak fans invited to explore mischief of one kind and another
Above: An original drawing by Maurice Sendak. Right: An illustration of Maurice Sendak by Deanna Staffo is of many works on display that were made by MICA community members. Below: Sendak’s 10th grade illustrations of Macbeth are the earliest works by the author on display at the exhibit. The encouragement he received from his teacher was part of what inspired Sendak to pursue a career in illustration. | Photos by Stephen Babcock
BY STEPHEN [email protected]
With a recently-opened retrospective of Maurice Sendak illustrations, the Enoch Pratt Free Library is giving new meaning to the phrase “traveling exhibit.”
As visitors enter the Central Library’s second floor, they are immediately greeted by a boat and a bedroom. Once inside, they’re transported into the world of Max, the main character in Sendak’s timeless book, “Where the Wild Things Are.”
Even though their parents may have read the book growing up, kids are showing no less enthusiasm for Max’s adventure than they did when the classic book was published in 1963.
“You can see that when kids get off the elevator, they literally just run to the boat,” said Jack Young, the exhibit designer and art director at Enoch Pratt Free Library.
Beyond the boat, the exhibit features a life-size replica of Max’s bedroom, complete with the trees that surround it when he enters the whimsical land of Wild Things.
Timed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of “Where the Wild Things Are,” many of the original works by Sendak (who died in 2012) that make up the rest of the exhibit have been featured in other cities.
But the Pratt library offered a local touch. Each of the life-size creations stationed near the entrance were made by Young and the library staff specifically for the three-month rumpus at Central Library.
Young has watched as parents and children marvel at the fact that the bed is real, right down to the handmade blanket.
“When I was a kid, I wanted to go in that book...I always loved that room,” Young said.
Whimsy is on display elsewhere, as Enoch Pratt and Edgar Allan Poe don gold crowns, just like the one Max wears in the book.
Young’s goal was to make the exhibit accessible. As a result, the boat is handicapped-accessible, and its inner shelves contain versions of “Where the Wild Things” are in several languages. One version, in Arabic, was shipped in from overseas.
Around the corner, another local touch arrives on a four-sided display of drawings. From portraits of Sendak to Wild Things in unlikely places, each was inspired by Sendak’s work, and made by members of the community.
The author and illustrator’s work is also encompassed in the breadth of original works on display in the library’s display cases. In one case, a poster touts the “Where the Wild Things Are” opera, which was introduced in 1976.
In another, a row of medieval-looking drawings that don’t seem to fit in trace Sendak’s own origins. When Sendak was in 10th grade, he was given an oral presentation assignment on Shakespeare’s MacBeth. Due to a stutter, Sendak didn’t want to do the assignment. But his teacher noticed that he was always drawing, and allowed Sendak to draw rather than speak.
The teacher was floored, not only giving him an A+, but urging Sendak to pursue a career in art. As the exhibit shows, that one act of letting Sendak step outside the assignment gave kids of all ages a chance to discover worlds previously unimagined.
The exhibit is on view through Jan. 4, 2015, and is free to the public during library hours at the Central Branch, 400 Cathedral St. Info: 410-396-5430; prattlibrary.org.

“The petition cast doubt on the credibility of the applicants,” Moore commented.
Liquor Board Chair Tom Ward told the applicants’ counsel, Mel Kodenski, that “your clients...have not really exercised very much intelligence in executing this application,” an assessment that caused the chair concern for “what’s coming down the road.”Fogleman’s return
Opposition to the Ritz’s BD-7 expansion was represented pro-bono by Stephan Fogleman, who has also represented liquor licensees since leaving the Liquor Board for an Orphan’s Court Judgeship, which he will vacate this winter. The Fell’s Point Residents Association and the Douglass Place Neighborhood Association had each voted to support the expansion, on the condition that the Ritz licensees sign a memorandum of understanding. Because the Ritz had some community support, the Community Law Center, which often provides pro-bono attorneys for community associations facing bars at the Liquor Board, was disqualified from getting involved.
The Fell’s Point Community Organization, which, with the Fell’s Point Residents Association and Douglass Place Neighborhood
Association, has the Ritz in its territory, voted against the expansion of the Ritz’s BD-7. Joining with FPCO in opposition were the nearby Fell’s Prospect Community Association, the Upper Fell’s Point Improvement Association and (getting geographically farther from the Ritz) the Butchers Hill Association, all three of which sent letters to the Liquor Board opposing the expansion of the Ritz’s BD-7.
Joanne Masopust, president of FPCO, thanked Fogleman for his help in a post-hearing acknowledgment.
“Steve and I fully understand that the day may come when we find ourselves on opposite sides,” wrote Masopust, who is well-known at the Liquor Board, “but on this case, I am very happy that we were working together.”The $50 bar tab
The offer of a $50 bar tab to Ritz supporters who attended last Thursday’s hearing came up several times at the hearing. The phrase was found on a page of a petition that Kodenski said had “270 signatures from people in the general area, both customers and people who live in the general area of where the Ritz is.”
Fogleman was allowed to examine the petition, which was brought the day of the hearing, while the commissioners took a brief

BIRDS HOUSE by Andy MindzAk
Markakis should stay
After a tough ending to their season, the Baltimore Orioles are faced with a few tough questions this offseason. One of those questions: What to do with Nick Markakis?
Just a few days ago the Orioles paid $2 million to buy out Nick’s $17.5 million option for 2015. That doesn’t mean the Orioles don’t want Markakis around; they are just trying to properly quantify his contributions. And let’s be honest: If you’re paying a right fielder $17.5 million, he should be able to hit more than 14 home runs or steal more than four bases as the leadoff hitter.
Markakis is a fan favorite, a quality leader, and plays a mean right field, as he is up for a Gold Glove award yet again this year. On the negative side, he has not hit more than 15 home runs in a season since 2009, when he hit 18. If you look at his .728 on-base plus slugging in 2014, that ranked him 12th among all right fielders.
Jose Bautista was second in OPS behind Giancarlo Stanton, and Bautista earns $14 million a year while hitting an average of 37
home runs each year over the past five seasons. Torii Hunter also earned $14 million last year while with the Detroit Tiger,s and his offensive numbers were better than Nick’s across the board. I understand that Markakis is a leadoff hitter, but his power numbers were in decline long before he started hitting leadoff.
While it makes sense financially to reject his $17.5 million option, he is still a player Baltimore should want on their team, and the O’s should try to make that happen. From a few reports we have been hearing, it looks like the O’s are in talks with him on a four-year deal somewhere near $44-$50 million. That number sounds about right for Markakis.
Could he make more elsewhere? Perhaps. I’m sure the New York Yankees can use a quality right fielder that isn’t 40 years old, and they have the ability to give him $15 million a year. Something tells me, though, that Nick will stay in Baltimore. This team is still in good shape for a few years and will be competing regularly.

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.”

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.

RITZ: Ward to leave Liquor Board in June
recess. When they returned, Fogleman had something to say: “In seven years on the Liquor Board, I never saw a petition that says ‘$50 bar tab to anyone who signs the petition,’” he said, though the statement actually offered the bar tab to those who would physically show up at the hearing.
Later, Commissioner Moore asked licensee Hitchiner about the origin of that offer.
“That’s the million-dollar question,” replied Hitchiner, adding that he did not know who wrote it, and didn’t recognize the handwriting.
Moore then asked him how he would ensure that the offer was upheld.
Hitchiner turned to the 19 Ritz supporters at the hearing (13 of whom were employed by the Ritz, Fogleman’s cross-examination later revealed) and said:
“I guess you can all bring in the [City Hall] visitors pass from today and you’ll all get $50.”Testimony
The Ritz’s first witness was David Martz, president of the Fell’s Point Residents Association, which had voted to support the expansion of the strip-club’s BD-7, contingent upon an MOU stating that no adult entertainment would be offered in the expansion, and that the expansion make a minimum of 50.1 percent of its income from food sales.
During cross-examination, Fogleman asked Martz if he would have preferred a restaurant, B-class license in the expansion.
“Personally, yes,” replied Martz. Fogleman then asked Martz “what would
stop” the Ritz from carrying over food sales from the original establishment to arrive at the 50.1 percent minimum.
Kodenski objected, which Ward first sustained and then overruled.
Martz replied that he “didn’t know.”Several parties connected to the Ritz gave
reasons for pursuing an expanded BD-7 rather than applying for a new restaurant license. Kodenski pointed out that it is illegal for a licensee to hold both a BD-7 and a B at the same time.
Prompted by Moore, Hitchiner explained his rationale for not seeking a separate B license for the steakhouse.
“We want to keep everything in-house,” he said, alluding to the fact that a third party would be needed to hold the B license. “We want to have the same owners involved in it; that’s really why.”
Several residents from near the Ritz spoke against the expansion of the BD-7.
Charles Norton, a Fell’s Point resident, said that the licensees had been asked if they would apply for a restaurant, B-class license should they fail to secure the expansion of their BD-7.
“Their answer was emphatically no,” said
Norton. “My thought is that you have no desire to be a restaurant.”
“A restaurant license offer the only real protection for the community,” testified Joanne Masopust. “If the restaurant fails, we are left with a huge BD-7...That does possibly make it the largest BD-7 in southeast Baltimore, now that Voltage is closed.”Wit and wisdom of Chairman Ward
During the lengthy hearing, Ward offered several interesting observations, not always connected to the Ritz’s application.
He spoke about wrongful demolition, during testimony regarding the collapse and subsequent demolition of the two Victorian buildings that had been adjacent to the Ritz.
“I can’t tell you how many innocent people have had their own homes torn down because of a negligent city,” said Ward, speaking from his experience as a Circuit Court judge. “Either they had the wrong address or they thought it was easier [to tear down the wrong one] than the one they were trying to get to.”
He also mentioned his past.“I used to be a butcher, by the way—three
years,” said Ward. “One time, I made a terrible mistake. I took a pistol to shoot a bull. I had to go and get a rifle.”
The chairman also revealed that he plans to leave the Liquor Board in June.
