Panelists seek ‘Cure for the Common Core’

Is mentoring the answer to youth crime in the Southeast?

For a trio of education experts who addressed a forum at Loyola University Maryland last week, the debate over the Common Core standards comes down to jelly beans and tree frogs.

In a recent study, students presented with a passage on jelly beans were able to easily comprehend it. Next, they were given a passage on tree frogs. Many of the same students struggled.

The difference, according to Dr. Lisa Hansel of the Core Knowledge Foundation, was not necessarily the students’ reading abilities. Instead, it was the knowledge base they brought to the passage.

“The only kids who could understand the passage on tree frogs were the ones who, somewhere in their young lives, had learned about tree frogs,” Hansel said.

With the introduction of the Common Core standards in classrooms across the country this

At a recent meeting about crime in southeast Baltimore, talk turned to the root causes about why young people end up running afoul of the law. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake chimed in, and said more role models were needed in the community.

That’s where Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Chesapeake come in.

Representatives of the 60-year-old organization were at the meeting, and upon hearing the mayor’s remark, immediately stood up and pointed out that they’ve been connecting kids to positive adult influences for years.

Given that the organization’s mission is supporting mentoring relationships that bring children and adults together, Big Brothers Big Sisters CEO Terry Hickey said he was surprised at the disconnect.

“They hadn’t thought of mentoring as a community development tool,” he said of the city brass that spoke at the meeting.

In the future, however, Hickey hopes mentoring will be a hallmark of southeast Baltimore.

Capone Chase gets guilty verdict for Greektown murder

Police seek fugitive suspect in Fell’s Point murder

Last week, 20-year-old Capone Chase was found guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of Ramon Rodriquez.

Last year, when the murder occurred, Baltimore Police dubbed Chase “Public Enemy Number One.”

“Late in the evening of July 15, Capone Chase lured Ramon Rodriguez to the 4600 block of Gough St. for the sole purpose of murdering him,” read a police statement released last year.

“The location of the crime, a playground used by children aand families, became the scene of a brutal and cold-blooded murder.”

Rodriguez was shot in the head.Chase was also found guilty of use of a

firearm and possession of a firearm.He faces sentencing on Jan. 16 of next year.

This weekend, police said that a suspect had been identified in the murder of 40-year-old Claudia Parodi, a waitress at Pazo who was killed in her home on the 700 block of S. Bond St.

Police have obtained a warrant for the arrest of 29-year-old Juan Morales, who they say killed her on or around Oct. 6. According to police, Morales is a fugitive and may have fled the area.

Over the weekend, news outlets in San Antonio, Texas, reported that police believe that Morales may have fled to that city.

The warrant for Morales’ arrest carries the charge of first degree murder.

Police say that on Monday, Oct. 6, 10:23 p.m., officers were dispatched to a home on the 700 block of S. Bond St. They spoke with an individual who was concerned about a coworker that had not been heard from in several days.

Officers entered the apartment and found Parodi with trauma to her body. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

He said that this year’s festival—always held the first weekend in October—will be similar to last year’s, which departed from the standard model by allowing alcohol to be drunk throughout the festival grounds, rather than containing it in a few beer gardens.

“Obviously, it comes down to the alcohol part of it,” said Maraziti,

Prosecutor explains the ups and downs of criminal sentencing

Assistant State’s Attorney Lazette Ringgold, also community prosecutor for Area 1, which includes the Southeastern, Eastern, and Northeastern police districts, visited the Southeastern District Police Community Relations Council meeting on Monday, Oct. 4, to discuss sentencing.

She said that she wanted to help residents understand “how it is that a case sometimes pleads out to what it pleads out to.”

Ringgold noted that many residents understand that crimes such as murder or attempted murder carry maximum sentences, but they may not understand why criminals very often receive substantially lesser sentences than the maximums.

Setting the standards for sentencing, she said, is the Maryland State Commission on Criminal Sentencing Policy, a 19-member board that has approved a points-system for sentencing criminals convicted of particular crimes.

To explain the system, Ringgold used the example of a guilty finding for attempted murder. In such a case, she said, a criminal can rack up points based on injury to the victim, whether the criminal has a prior record, and many other factors.

“We also look at whether a weapon was used,” said Ringgold. “If it was a firearm, that’s more points.”

The State’s Attorney’s Office even ascertains whether the victim in the case is “of honorable person,” Ringgold added, noting that an elderly or young victim can add points to the defendant’s score.

Once all factors are considered, Ringgold said, and “you crunch the numbers in the matrix we have,” a recommended sentence is given.

According to the Commission on Criminal Sentencing Policy’s website, MSCCSP.org, the sentencing guidelines have been in place since 1983, and were put into place “by the judiciary in response to judicial perceptions of unwarranted sentencing disparities.”

The commission’s 19 members are appointed by various state officials. Nine members are appointed by the governor; three are appointed by the chief appeals court judge; two are appointed by the president of the state senate; and two are appointed by the speaker of the state house. There are also three ex-officio members.

Typically, the sentencing guidelines will give a punishment range—25-35 years, for example, Ringgold said.

In court, she added, the judge will ask the

prosecutor what the guidelines are for a defendant’s crime and situation.

“The judges tend to look at what the guidelines are, and the guidelines are generally less than the maximum you can get,” she said.

On top of that, she added, while the prosecutor will present guidelines and make a recommendation to a judge, the defense attorney will do the same.

“The judges sometimes go between what the state is asking for and what the defense is asking for,” she said.

Also, a judge can give the defendant the choice between “an offer from the court” or a trial. The offer from the court, i.e. plea deal, often carries a penalty considerably lighter than the maximum sentence for a given offense.

“There’s a misconception sometimes that the prosecutors aren’t doing enough in court,” commented Ringgold. “We can only tell the judge what the state is looking for.”

A resident asked Ringgold what proportion of cases “plead out” versus go to trial.

“Most of the cases plead out,” she replied. “I would say 90 percent.”

Another resident asked how many cases plead out to a sentence below the minimum for the crime.

“It’s rare,” said Ringgold. “It can happen in a narcotics case without violence...On a general basis, most cases plead out, and they plead out within the [sentencing] guidelines.”

A resident queried Ringgold on what he said was a high number of cases that result in a finding of “nolle prosequi,” or “will not prosecute.” He said that he had asked the same question to State’s Attorney Gregg Bernstein, who told him, the resident said, that this can happen if a police officer bringing a charge is on vacation at the time of a hearing.

Ringgold replied that, as the problem relates to drug-related crime, there is “one chem lab to process all our drugs in hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cases.”

A judge can’t simply accept a police officer’s word that a seized substance is in fact heroin, for example, Ringgold explained, and sometimes judges “won’t accept the excuse of ‘it’s not back from the lab,’” she said.

“Tell me how that disconnect gets solved,” said a resident.

“Unfortunately, I can’t fix that for you,” replied Ringgold. “I would recommend maybe writing to the

judges...It might be an issue of writing to the mayor’s office to get more resources. They’re doing the best they can, but sometimes we don’t have the reports on cases. It depends on the judge’s mood.”

Major tree-planting push underway in Southeast; public planting this weekendBY ERIK ZYGMONT [email protected]

The Highlandtown Tree Team, with support from the Southeast Community Development Corp. and the Highlandtown Community Associaion, has identified key areas within the neighborhood for tree-plantings, and is also conducting outreach to residents on the no-permission-needed city policy.

“For the most part, it has gone really well,” said Judy.

She said that her group has researched the ways that added trees can benefit a neighborhood and has put together a list. In addition to cooling the streets in the summer, trees can reduce stormwater runoff, reduce noise pollution, add to commercial and residential property values, and are correlated with lower crime rates, said Judy.

According to Judy, there are also a number of misconceptions about trees, including the fear that their roots will damage sewer and water systems. This only happens, Judy said, when a leak is present.

“Basically, if a tree is getting into your sewer pipes, you already had a problem,” she said.

She also said that homeowners aren’t liable for damages caused by trees on the sidewalks in front of their homes, so long as the trees are “healthy and planted in the public right-of-way.”

Because workers are cutting the tree pits larger, the roots won’t need to invade the sidewalks and cause damage, Judy added.

While mid-to-late October may not seem like the ideal time to plant trees, it actually is, said Judy.

“Trees are going dormant now and planting doesn’t stress them out as much.”

For those who wish to get a hands-on experience planting trees, the Highlandtown Tree Team is holding a volunteer tree-planting on Saturday, Oct. 18, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Meet at Lombard and Conkling streets.

Be happy; trees are coming to the neighborhood.

This is the message that Mary Judy, a member of the Highlandtown Tree Team, is giving residents as the city embarks on a major spate of tree-planting in her neighborhood as well as Greektown.

“I grew up in the countryside in Virginia and always loved trees,” said Judy. “I always felt that Highlandtown seemed bare compared to other neighborhoods in the city.”

The tree-planting initiative started, maybe ironically, with energy giant Exelon’s move to purchase Constellation Energy.

As a condition of the purchase, the Maryland Public Service Commission mandated that Exelon then dedicate a sum of money to benefit local communities. That $52.8 million from that negotiation has funded the Baltimore Energy Initiative, announced last month by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. Planting trees in Highlandtown and Greektown is a part of that city-wide initiative.

Why those two neighborhoods? Judy said that they have been identified as suffering the most from the “urban heat-island effect” in Baltimore city. Trees, she added, can lower the height-of-summer temperature by 5 to 10 degrees. As the leaves are off during the colder months, there is no corresponding loss of heat during the winter.

For a substantial summer cooling effect, however, a “complete-block approach” is needed, according to Erik Dihle, city arborist. And, while in the past, residents often requested trees from the city when they wanted them in front of their homes, “we’re having to change that dynamic,” said Dihle.

“We are not seeking permission before planting trees in front of houses,” he added, though “folks had the impression” otherwise.

Perennial Halloween favorite gets overhaul

This year’s Great Halloween Lantern Parade and Festival will introduce several ambitious changes, including a major re-routing of the parade’s path through Patterson Park.

Parade Director Maria Aldana, also creative arts manager at the Creative Alliance, says that the new route is “dramatic,” in part because it will utilize the substantial elevation gain in the east side of the Patterson Park annex to maximize visual effect.

The parade and pre-parade festival is set for Saturday, Oct. 25, 3:30 p.m., near the Pulaski Monument in Patterson Park, Eastern and Linwood avenues.

Speaking of maximized visual effects, the Creative Alliance, which has taken the reins for this year’s parade, has chosen the theme “kaleidoscope” for the march of community members and residents, who, for the last 15 years, have marched with lit lanterns (originally candles, now LED lights). Two massive kaleidoscope lantern sculptures will mark the start of the parade—line-up is at 6:30 p.m.—at the Patterson Park Boat Lake. Throughout the route, 8-foot “prism-shaped” kaleidoscope lantern sculptures will mark the way as marchers head east to the Pulaski Monument and then into the annex, where they will march along the high eastern edge of the park before heading down and back to the monument for the video finale.

Aldana says that the kaleidoscope theme is apropos.

“Our artists are colorful,” she said, “black, white, gay, straight, young, old, established, unknown...”

Those artists have been visiting schools such as Patterson Park Public Charter School, leading students in building lanterns that will feature heavily in the parade.

In addition, there are at least 15 commissioned lanterns being built by artists, including Hannah Brancato’s class at the Maryland Institute College of Art, young people in the Access Art program and others.

“We’re just more intentional this year with engaging groups of people together and partnering them up with artists who have sculpture experience,” said Aldana.

Highlandtown Elementary/Middle School #237, Highlandtown #215, Hampstead Hill Academy, Tench Tilghman Elementary/Middle School and Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle School are also making lanterns. “All of these schools in southeast Baltimore are having these family/community workshops, and there are bigger ones open to everybody,” Aldana said.

The Creative Alliance, 3134 Eastern Ave., is holding three lantern-making workshops for families this Sunday, Oct. 19, at 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. Registration is required; call 410-276-1651.

The big event on Saturday, Oct. 25, includes a pre-parade festival with food trucks along closed Linwood Ave., as well as bands—the Manly Deeds and Sac Au Lait. Bay Bank is sponsoring the annual costume contest, always popular with families. Registration begins near the Pulaski Monument at 3:30 p.m.

Community policing nets honors for Canton copat Milton Ave., as well as a dark wig, a black baseball cap and a gray T-shirt with a black logo.

The man who had robbed the the 7-Eleven had also robbed the Rite Aid at Foster and Kenwood avenues.

He was arrested and charged with both crimes.

“Police Officer Connolly could have just responded to the location, conducted a preliminary report, and been done,” read Cohen. “However, he did exactly the opposite.”

The narrative went on to commend Connolly for covering a “10-block radius” on foot, resulting in the recovery of the gun and other evidence.

In an interview earlier this week, Connolly said that he had noticed the initial subject, who turned out to be a companion of the suspect who was arrested, simply because “his behavior was suspicious.”

“Everything about him didn’t fit that neighborhood for that time of night,” said Connolly. “The second guy who met him...his actions were also suspicious.”

When he caught up to that man, Connolly said, “there was no doubt in my mind that he was the man who had done the Rite Aid robbery the week before.”

He had to be sure, so he reviewed security camera footage “20 times” with the Rite Aid owner. Sure enough, identifying features such

Last Wednesday, Oct. 8, the Cardinal Gibbons Council of the Knights of Columbus held their annual Public Safety Appreciation ceremony, honoring police, firefighters and paramedics, from Baltimore City, Baltimore County and the State of Maryland.

The ceremony honored a fallen hero, Firefighter Robert Fogle III of the Baltimore County Fire Department, as well as six “public safety workers of the year” from the various area departments.

As each name was announced, remarks were read by Ceremonials Chairman Bob Cohen, describing the reasons why public safety worker was deserving of special recognition. Of course, Cohen couldn’t have personally known all of the award recipients, so it can be assumed that the remarks were written by people who work with them, most likely their supervisors.

The person who wrote the remarks pertaining to Officer Charles “Chuck” Connolly, Baltimore City Police Officer of the Year, must have been somebody who believes that actions speak louder than words.

Though residents have described him as such, the remarks didn’t call Connolly “helpful” or “responsive” or “a good listener.” Cohen read a matter-of-fact account of the events of an evening this past July, when a call for a commercial armed robbery of the 7-Eleven on Boston St. in Canton was dispatched.

From the Baltimore Guide police blotter:Boston St., 2700 block, July 26, 8:40 p.m. A

suspect entered the store and displayed a long black revolver. He pointed it at an employee and demanded the money in the register. The employee gave the suspect all the money, including coins. The suspect left the store and walked westbound on Boston St. A description of the suspect was given out, and an area canvass was conducted, during which the suspect was located by an officer. The money and the gun were recovered; the suspect was arrested.

The narrative at last week’s ceremony filled in some of the blanks. Connolly observed a man in the 1000 block of S. Kenwood Ave. walking north, who ran toward the nearby Safeway grocery store when he realized he was being observed.

A second man soon came into the scene, and he had a bulge in his waistband. Again, he realized he was seen, put his hand to his waistband, and fled north, dropping an object near a car as he ran off.

Connolly pursued the suspect, catching up with him near Fait Ave. and Glover St. He also canvassed the area, recovering a black revolver

as tattoos were a match.“The way he carried himself matched,”

added Connolly.There are several aspects of this case—one

of “quite a few” personally memorable arrests that Connolly has made over the years—consistent with what residents have to say about Connolly.

Jim Hamilton, pastor of the Church on the Square, 1025 S. Potomac Ave., said that Connolly does indeed “go the extra mile.”

“He calls you two or three times, and makes sure you know how to contact him,” said Hamilton, who met Connolly when some items were stolen from the church. “He just has that attention to detail.”

“Whatever is happening in Canton, Chuck knows about it,” said Mike Beczkowski, a resident active at monthly Police Community Relations Council meetings as well as Canton COP walks.

“On every COP walk, he teaches us something new about how criminals act and shows us better ways to prevent bad things from happening,” Beczkowski added.

Connolly, a 26-year city cop with 8 years in the Southeast, said that one of his favorite parts of the job is “just talking to people.”

“You’d be amazed,” he said. “People tend to come up to police officers and talk to them.”

Connolly said that in the business areas in and near the Can Company, especially,

residents and business owners will strike up conversations about the weather “or, right now, the Orioles.”

“After that, they tend to let us know what’s going on in their neighborhood.”

Connolly said that the first piece of advice he would give Canton residents, regarding crime, is “keep up the good work.”

“I don’t know if the residents of Canton know what a good job they’re doing,” he said, noting that bike thefts and car break-ins are down.

His other piece of advice:“If you have the slightest inkling of ‘should

I call the police,’ then you should call the police,” he said. “Even if there’s just a suspicious person.”

Connolly added that while, many times, the “suspicious person” has legitimate reasons to be in an area—he is waiting at a job site for a contractor, for example—every once in a while, “those tips turn out to be bad guys.”

Lastly, Connolly encouraged residents concerned about crime to reach out to the Canton Community Association, the business associations, and some of the churches, such as the Church on the Square, which is involved in an effort to establish an effective neighborhood watch.

“They’re stepping up and doing good things,” Connolly said. “I would encourage residents to step up and help them.”

Patterson High School students spruce up Bayview park

The Bayview neighborhood’s Joseph Lee Park, which borders Pratt St. just east of Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital, received a free upgrade last Saturday,when students from nearby Patterson High School braved rain and October chills to plant a few hundred tulip and daffodil bulbs.

The large-scale construction company Flanigan pitched in, too, mulching some large perennial beds that front Pratt St. near the entrance to the park’s recreation building.

“They knew it was going to rain and we had about 50 kids sign up,” said Melissa Harris, an English-as-a-second-language teacher at Patterson. “It’s a really wonderful group of kids.”

Behind the initiative was Civic Works, a Baltimore nonprofit that combines community service with job skills training. Last Saturday was the organization’s annual Day of Service, held in honor of Ricky Myers, a Civic Works worker who was especially enthusiastic about

benefiting communities through environmental service work. Myers lost his life in 2003.

Harris said that one of her colleagues, Margot Harris (no relation), knew Myers and got Patterson High School involved with the day of service several years ago.

As it were Melissa Harris’ and Vince Tola’s ESOL classes that volunteered, there were many languages—Arabic, Spanish, Nepali and Swahili—being spoken in Joseph Lee Park last Saturday.

“We have a very international group,” Harris commented.

Anderson Heywood, who has been with Civic Works for three years, also helped organize and supervise the bulb planting.

“It’s just been a great experience, seeing people’s drive,” he said.

Also supervising the planting and coordinating volunteers were Bayview residents Janine Coy and Jerry David, a husband-and-wife team who in recent months have been very active in neighborhood greening and clean-up efforts.

Theater company fi nds Highlandtown home, will open with Shakespeare

It’s official—co-founders Brad Norris and Alicia Stanley will open Cohesion Theatre Company in Highlandtown, for now on a temporary basis.

Norris reported that a location has been found at 413 S. Conkling St., the former “Jesus Es Vida” church with the distinctive sign. Norris said that the space is in good shape and well-suited for a theater.

“We were blown away by how perfect it was,” he said.

“It’s kind of got all of the elements already,” he added. “It would really just be outfitting it with equipment—lighting equipment, sound equipment.” Nevertheless, Norris, Stanley and the crew are “scrambling” to ready the space for Cohesion Theatre’s inaugural production, William Shakespeare’s “Coriolanus,” opening Nov. 20. Stanley will direct the production, which will be presented as “100-percent Shakespeare,” Norris said.

“Alicia Stanley...is one of the smarter Shakespearean fanatics I’ve ever met,” he said. “The language and style are hugely, hugely important to her. The text is rich, and she’s all about that.”

“We’ve assembled a phenomenal cast for it,” he added, noting that about 40 percent of the cast has come from the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, fresh off “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

“We’ve got a pretty seasoned, pretty phenomenal cast that we’re excited to bring to the area,” said Norris.

“Coriolanus” is a political drama following the misadventures of a straight-shooting war

hero at a point in ancient Rome’s history when there was a “massive difference between the haves and the have-nots.”

“I think the play speaks a lot to, not just America, but the world, coming out of this financial crisis,” commented Norris, noting that that “those at the very top” have recovered while others have not.

Coriolanus, who is “not politically correct,” turns out to be ill-suited to political leadership, Norris explained. “He’s very much cut and dried,” Norris said. “He can’t stand the politicians, and, by extension, he can’t stand the people, because they are moved and swayed by the politicians so easily.”

Oddly enough, Norris and Stanley knew that they would open Cohesion Theatre with a Shakespeare play, and they both chose “Coriolanus,” “simultaneously and separately.”

The opening will be more than a traditional production, Norris said, referencing Cohesion’s commitment to being “immersion theatre.”

“We’re going to turn the place into Rome,” he said. “It should be a lot of fun.”

After “Coriolanus,” Cohesion Theatre Company is planning at least two more productions—both modern plays, and both Baltimore premiers.

Though Cohesion’s current lease is temporary, the company would like to make it permanent, perhaps in partnership with other theater groups that could benefit from a presence in Highlandtown.

“We’re entrenched in Highlandtown,” said Norris, who lives on Gough St. with his wife, who grew up in the neighborhood.

For more information on the Cohesion Theatre Company and “Coriolanus,” find them on Facebook.



Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Chesapeake is in the midst of a concerted effort to grow their presence in southeast Baltimore. But that effort doesn’t include a new office, or any other bells and whistles. Instead, the organization is focusing on building relationships between adults and kids.

Hickey stressed that Big Brothers Big Sisters is not a crime prevention program. He said that whether they’ve been involved with crime or not, many of the children who need mentors “lack significant, positive, trusting relationships with adults.”

“What we do is the most old school thing in the world,” Hickey said. “We try to fill that gap using the best resource we got.”

To that end, the organization is actively looking for adults--from any of the many walks of life that are represented in southeast Baltimore--who would like to serve as mentors. The average time commitment is about an hour a week, and activities can be as simple as reading a book or playing basketball.

“We don’t create mentoring relationships to find surrogate parents,” Hickey said. “It’s more of the idea of this voice in their head and somebody they trust. Kids are smart enough to roughly know what’s right and wrong, but the lack of relationship tends to erode their desire to care if nobody else cares.”

Prospective mentors are required to pass a background check and go through an application process with the organization,including an interview to determine the compatibility between the adults and the children in need of a mentor. After a mentor is on board, Big Brothers Big Sisters

continues to provide guidance and other help through a staff member called a “match support specialist.” The organization has hired one such person who will be working in the Southeast.

The police may be the some of the first to step up to the plate. Big Brothers Big Sisters is working to bring officers from the Baltimore City Police Department on as mentors, Hickey said.

When it comes to making connections with the community, Big Brothers Big Sisters isn’t looking to create their own events and organizations. Members from the organization will often be at events and after-school activities with T-shirts on, but they aren’t looking to take anything away from the long-standing groups, Hickey said. Instead, they want to weave mentoring into the many organizations that already exist.

The organization has already signed formal partnerships with several local organizations. They have partnered with Southeast Community Development Corp., and have linked with schools such as Highlandtown Elementary/Middle School #237, Commodore John Rogers Elementary/Middle School and Patterson High School.

Hickey hopes that mentoring can help adults as well as children.

“These kids need to know there’s adults out there that care about them, and adults need to know what caring gets you,” he said.

For more information or to sign up to become a mentor, email [email protected]. Find Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Chesapeake on the Web at biglittle.org.

A look a the Detroit series

The Baltimore Orioles played their crucial American League Championship Series game three last night, after the Guide went to press. We are hoping that we’re still alive, but in the meantime, lets look back at the series against Detroit, when the Baltimore Orioles punched their ticket to the ALCS. It was an amazing series, for Baltimore anyway.

Nelson Cruz is a beast. Cruz batted .500 against Detroit with two home runs and five runs batted in. It’s pretty likely that Detroit hates him at this point, considering what he did to them this year plus what he did to them last time he faced them in the 2011 ALCS where he batted .364 and hit six home runs while driving in 13.

Obtaining Andrew Miller was a great move by Dan Duquette. Thanks to that move, Baltimore has yet another shut-down arm in the bullpen. In three and one-third innings against Detroit, Miller struck out three and walked one while not allowing a hit.

When you get to the playoffs, players will do anything to help their team win. For example Kevin Gausman pitched brilliantly in relief, Delmon Young came off the bench to drive in the winning runs in game two, and Adam Jones actually drew a walk. Seriously, he walked.

Buck knows what moves to make.

Obviously it’s easy when your players are performing as they should, but Buck still made the right moves like he did in the ninth inning of game three. With the tying run on second base, Showalter opted to intentionally walk Nick Castellanos and put the winning run on base with one out, but Zach Britton made the pitch to get the next batter to ground in to a series ending double play.

Wei-Yin Chen needs to pitch better against Kansas City. Chen didn’t make it out of the fourth inning against the Tigers before giving up five runs on seven hits. Thanks to Gausman and the rest of the bullpen, the Orioles were able to hold them there before mounting their comeback.

Joba Chamberlain’s ERA was 108. Seriously, it’s 108. He got only one batter out. One.

The Orioles hit anyone and everyone. David Price did pitch well, but against the vaunted three Cy Young award winners, the Orioles managed to score 10 runs in 20 1/3 innings, an ERA of 4.43. Not exactly Cy Young material. Sadly, their bullpen was even worse.

The Baltimore fans were amazing. Forty-seven thousand, eight hundred and forty-two fans came out to see game one and 48,058 came out to see game two, and it felt actually felt like even more. Well done!

PRIVATE PARKINGON-SITE

school year, debate in the education community has been centered around the difficulty of the tests that assess the students’ adherence to the standards, and the way the grades on those exams reflect on the teachers and schools.

But the three panelists who spoke at Loyola University last week sought to address not the tests themselves, but what the students learn in the run-up to those tests. Titled “The Cure for the Common Core,” the speaking event was sponsored by the Baltimore Curriculum Project charter school network, which, in the southeast operates Wolfe Street Academy, Hampstead Hill Acadmy and City Springs Elementary/Middle School.

Focusing on the English Language Arts standards, the panelists argued that--as in the jelly beans vs. tree frogs example--there is a distinction between the skills tested and the knowledge that students bring in to the test.

“We’re very fixated on test scores, but we never talk about what students are taught,” Hansel said.

Unlike mathematics, the Common Core ELA standards do not set out standard works that each student should read. Instead, administrators and instructors are free to “tailor instruction to the individual needs of the students in their classrooms,” according to the

Common Core website.No matter what their individual plans,

however, all students take the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) tests. Given in 23 states, including Maryland, the tests are a component of national evaluation criteria that require each school to achieve a standard called “Adequate Yearly Progress.”

The reading comprehension questions presented on the test actually become a test of the students’ knowledge, rather than skills, argued the panelists.

For those who want to know what it’s like to be a struggling fourth grade reader, panelist Robert Pondiscio offered the example of an adult reading a refrigerator warranty.

“It’s not that you suddenly became a bad reader, you’re just reading out of your depth,” said Pondiscio, a Senior Fellow at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute.

Pondiscio’s example asserts that, no matter what their reading abilities, students who are not familiar with the content that is presented on the test will automatically be at a disadvantage.

“Kids will make inferences. What you want to teach kids is the information you’ll need in order to make the correct inference,” said Dr. Marcy Stein, a panelist and professor at University of Washington Tacoma.

Students could broaden their content

COMMON CORECONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

knowledge with more time spent learning about science, art, music and other programs, said Pondiscio. Nationwide, however, the funding for instruction in many of those areas is dwindling.

“If you don’t give them all that stuff, because the reading comprehension is a reflection of your background knowledge, you’re going to make things, worse not better,” Pondiscio said.

Without options in school, that automatically puts many students from communities like Baltimore at a disadvantage. Students from poor backgrounds don’t get a chance to take trips to museums or have access to a broad array of books that help provide more of the knowledge--of tree frogs, perhaps--that would help them on reading comprehension sections, Hansel said.

“What you have essentially is, on average, the wealthier the children, the larger their vocabulary, and the larger their store of background knowledge,” she said.

Despite the inherent issues with testing, Pondiscio said he hopes Common Core can help put the focus back on the classroom as teachers and administrators devise better ways to meet the standards.

“If done well, it encourages, for the first time in my career, an earnest national discussion about what we expect our kids to learn in school all day,” he said.

Dr. Lisa Hansel says that tests of students’ skills often end up testing their subject knowledge, a different thing. | Photo by Stephen Babcock


Choosing the proper window material is everything.Even in moderate temperature swings, poor-quality vinyl windows can warp, lose whatever energy efficiency they once had, and invite drafts and leaks.

Significant home improvements are supposed to last, but can you imagine the expense and frustration of replacing your windows a second time, after just a couple of years?

We custom-build our windows from our own patented Fibrex® material. Why did we make our Fibrex® material twice as strong as vinyl? To serve homeowners who only want to replace their windows once.*
