Broadway hookah lounge gets latenight license, with major restrictions BY ERIK ZYGMONT EZYGMONT@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM After a delayed, lengthy and contentious hearing last week, the Municipal Board of Zoning and Appeals granted a late night operator’s license—with considerable restrictions—to Diamond Hookah Lounge, 515 S. Broadway. The six-member board voted unanimously to grant the license, which as of last year became a necessity for certain types of businesses to operate after midnight, but the board restricted the lounge’s late-night hours to 2 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, for a closing time in alignment with nearby bars. Diamond Hookah Lounge had been seeking approval to remain open until 5 a.m. on those nights. The board also made it clear that its ruling would restrict certain activities—including alcohol consumption (served on premises or BYOB), promoter events, catering, music over 55 decibels, and crowds over the building’s capacity. The lounge has never had the authorization or licensing for these practices, but at last night’s hearing, nearby residents and police said that they occurred anyway. Police testimony Detective Gatto of the Police Department’s city-wide vice unit testified that his team has a “top five” list of problem areas. “I will say that this location is one of them,” he said. “Every time we’ve been there, we’ve found an infraction—a liquor violation.” Gatto said that on Dec. 7 of last year and on May 10 and July 12 of this year, his team found suspected alcohol being consumed at Diamond Hookah Lounge. Furthermore, the detective added, the incidents happened at 1 a.m., 12:15 a.m. and 1:45 a.m., respectively, all after the lounge’s then-allowed closing time of midnight. In the last incident, according to Gatto, the suspected alcohol was in non-typical bottles in an attempt to disguise the substance. Gatto added that as of last night’s hearing, he hadn’t heard the results of a laboratory analysis on the liquid. He said that the suspected alcohol was in standard, branded bottles in the first two incidents. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15 One dead, one injured in Pratt and Conkling shooting Editor’s note: The following is an update sent by Det. Roganzu Howard of the Baltimore Police Department’s Media Relations Unit. The shooting took place during the early morning of Tuesday, Sept. 30. As the Guide went to press, Roganzu said that the incident was in the earliest stages of investigation, and no further information was available. From the Baltimore Police Department: “Just after midnight officers were called to the 3700 block of E. Pratt Street for the report of gunshots heard in the area. As officers responded to the 3700 block of E. Pratt Street, they located an adult male who had been shot in the back. The male was taken to an area hospital where he later died of his injuries. A second shooting victim was found nearby by officers and transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Homicide investigators ask that anyone with information call 410-396-2100.” To the Editor $10 down / $10 a month Offer Ends 10/10/14 GLEN BURNIE • 597 E Ordnance Rd. • (410) 766-9340 DUNDALK • 1405 Merritt Blvd. • (410) 282-4955 For franchise info or to join online visit planetfitness.com *Home Club only.

To the Editor: Having lived in Highlandtown the lion’s share of my 55 years, I know community associations can do good. With regard to the issue of a mattress store, however, I wonder if it might not make more sense to allow such a store and use our resources to deal with whatever hazards may come with such a store. I am much more concerned with the apparent arrogance that the association seems to have developed. They seem more godfather than grandfather.

According to the Church on the Square’s Rev. Jim Hamilton, one of the organizers of the watch, the group’s ideas for initial activities include efforts to make sure porch lights and streetlights are working, and appointing block captains to keep an eye on the block. “More than anything, it’s a reduction of anxiety in the neighborhood,” Hamilton said of the purpose of the crime watch group. The group laid out their initial plans Sept. 23 during a public Canton Community Association meeting with Major Deron Garrity of the Baltimore Police Department, who serves as commander of the Southeastern District. They planned to meet on Sept. 30 to further discuss plans. At the Sept. 23 meeting, residents sought to address anxiety about crime in the area, and expressed a desire to encourage residents to meet each other. Garrity told the group that Canton is “probably one of the safest neighborhoods in southeast Baltimore.” “We haven’t had a strong, strong act of violence in Canton all year long,” he said. But Garrity also acknowledged that people were being targeted in recent beatings and robberies, especially late at night when people were returning home from social events. “You should be able to walk home at 2 a.m. and not feel like you’re going to get jumped,” Garrity said. According to Garrity and residents, perceptions about Canton’s safety are also being shaped by the Canton Neighbors Facebook group, where information about crime spreads quickly, whether confirmed by police or not, Garrity and others said. “I think it’s good to remind people that, just because you see a lot of these reports via social media doesn’t mean that [Canton is] a dangerous place,” said Elliott Plack, a board member for the Canton Community Association. Garrity encouraged residents to take practical steps, such as leaving lights on. Beyond that, Garrity and residents spoke of a desire to encourage neighbors to get to know each other, and work together to address safety issues. “We’re not going to stop crime just by relying on the police...We’re going to have to do it at least in part by trying to communicate,” said Jon McGill, also a CCA board member. The neighborhood watch is attempting to address these concerns through three activities. First, Hamilton said Crime Watch organizers would go door-to-door at local businesses to encourage them to sponsor and, in some cases, donate light bulbs that could then be installed on residents’ porches. People would also have an opportunity to sign a pledge that their porch light works. The Crime Watch is also looking to lead a 311 Walk, where residents would download the Baltimore 311 app, and fan out across the neighborhood to identify spots where streetlights are not lit, and other public safety concerns. “The purpose is, ‘How can we make sure the neighborhoods are lit, and as clean and safe as possible,’” Hamilton said. The third element of the neighborhood watch initiative involves recruiting block captains who would get to know their neighbors, know when people are out of town, and have a handle on other practical matters that could potentially have an effect on crime. Hamilton acknowledged that they probably wouldn’t be able to immediately recruit captains for every block. “I think what we want to do right now is show that we have some strong examples of [block captains], and show the benefit,” he said. Garrity responded positively to the idea of organizing a neighborhood crime watch, and was willing to meet with community leaders to further discuss the effort. “I’m for anything that’s going to get you as a group together,” Garrity told the residents. … just because you see a lot of these reports via social media doesn’t mean that [Canton is] a dangerous place.” BALTIMORE GUIDE 5 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014 Urban Pirates to retake Ann Street Pier, gently, by contract BY ERIK ZYGMONT EZYGMONT@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM The Urban Pirates are here to stay, said members of the Fell’s Point Task Force on Wednesday evening. Following the Task Force’s decision, Cara Joyce, founder of the company, which allows children and adults to sample the pirate’s life as they cruise around the harbor, said that she would soon be signing a new lease with the Baltimore CIty Department of Real Estate for docking space at the end of Fell’s Point’s Ann St. Pier. Urban Pirates’ current lease is up at the end of this year. Sharon Kempa and Walter Horton of the Real Estate Department attended Wednesday’s meeting to discuss the resigning of the lease, as, according to Horton, the city had received three letters of complaint regarding the Urban Pirates’ operation. After those letters, Horton said, “we’ve subsequently received letters of support from the Task Force, Fell’s Point Main Street and residents.” Horton said that the complaints were mainly noise, though there was a mention of “urination on the street” and a disruption to the flow of business along Ann St., south of Thames St., which have outside tables. Horton said that one complaint was that the presence of the Urban Pirates prevented delivery trucks from getting through. “That’s bogus,” said Kay Hogan, who lives nearby. She noted that the boat is docked at the very end of the street. “We deliberately put it there,” noted Horton, added that he had visited the pier “incognito” to validate the complaints. “I found nothing to support these complaints,” he said. Task Force member David Martz, president of the Fell’s Point Residents Association, said that Urban Pirates has made concessions to residents and businesses. “It’s much, much quieter now,” he said. “They’ve listened to us...the crowds aren’t as rowdy as they used to be.” “When those concerns have come up, we have changed,” said Adam Sahhar of Urban Pirates, who attended the meeting with Joyce. He added that when the adult cruises end, his team puts ropes along Ann St. to usher the group to Thames St., where they “drop off their coolers in their cars and head out to enjoy themselves.” Urban Pirates owns a 52-foot boat which takes customers on cruises around the bay. Adult, BYOB cruises are available, as are cruises for families and kids, all with a pirate theme. According to urbanpirates.com, the company took out over 38,000 customers in 2013.

Copyright © 2014 6 BALTIMORE GUIDE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014 Latin Palace, community associations come to accords with live entertainment BY ERIK ZYGMONT EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERSHIP COLLABORATIVE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4 Though the club has offered live entertainment in multiple forms over the years, the Latin Palace, 509 S. Broadway, is now on the path to offer such activities legally and legitimately, following a hearing before the Municipal Board of Zoning and Appeals last Tuesday, Sept. 23. The board agreed to grant Latin Palace the ability to offer live entertainment, provided that the club adheres to an agreement reached with the Fell’s Point Community Organization and the Fell’s Point Residents Association. The memorandum of understanding, among other things, stipulates that the club offer live entertainment only between the hours of 9 p.m. and 1:30 a.m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The club may also offer dancing lessons on Thursdays, from opening until close at 10 p.m., but dancing and entertainment must stop by 11:30 p.m., according to Joanne Masopust, president of the Fell’s Point Community Organization. “We decided that the existing conditions were going to be difficult to enforce, and that we would compromise, because it was never our intention to shut him down,” explained Masopust. “This way makes it easier for him to comply, and easier to enforce if he doesn’t.” Masopust said that, should Latin Palace have no liquor or land-use violations for one year following the end of its liquor license suspension--which was lifted this Sunday, 9 AM-4 PM Patterson Park Public Charter School 2726 Baltimore Street Baltimore, Maryland 21224 FREE! Serving breakfast & lunch Latin Palace’s liquor license suspension ended last weekend. | Photo by Erik Zygmont Sept. 28--then the club may also offer live entertainment on Wednesdays, in the form of a live jazz band only. The memorandum of understanding also restricts the number of patrons allowed in the club to 150, though that number may be allowed to double to 300, should there be no violations in a year, Masopust also said. The agreement was not immediately approved by the board, because John Pica, counsel for Latin Palace, was absent from the hearing and unavailable to give his consent, though Latin Palace owner Jose Rhibadeneira said that he himself was on board. “We decided that we are going to proceed with this resolution, as presented earlier,” said Rhibadeneira. Maria Martinez, chair of the Governor’s Council on Hispanic Affairs, spoke up on Rhibadeneira’s behalf and asked if something could be done to prevent any delay. “There’s something else pending if this doesn’t get done within a timeframe,” she told the board. While an official agreement may be pending on paper, last week’s hearing was the first major accord reached between Rhibadeneira and the community associations, in spirit at least, since live entertainment at Latin Palace first came under scrutiny, nearly a year ago. It came to a head at the end of July, when the Liquor Board handed the club the two-month suspension for several violations, including the licensee’s failure to cooperate with police, having the exit doors locked during open hours, and, against the orders of a liquor inspector, hosting a boxing batch though the club didn’t have approval for live entertainment. Rhibadeneira then said that his club had been providing live entertainment for 16 or 17 years, and that liquor inspectors who had visited the establishment over the years, with live entertainment in progress, had never told him he was doing anything wrong. Rhibadeneira has said that high-level Baltimore politicians have either enjoyed or even participated in entertainment at the Latin Palace. Now-Governor Martin O’Malley had played music there when he was a City Councilman, according to Rhibadeneira. For an establishment to have live entertainment, it must have approval from the Liquor Board, and in some cases the Zoning Board. Latin Palace does not yet have Liquor Board approval; Masopust said that the memorandum of understanding states that Latin Palace will not resume live entertainment until the restriction is officially lifted from its liquor license. BALTIMORE GUIDE 7 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014 Association opposes furniture and bedding store; hearing postponed BY ERIK ZYGMONT EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM Due to “improper posting,” the Municipal Board of Zoning and Appeals postponed a decision on whether a mattress store will be allowed to operate in Baltimore Highlands. The property in question, located at 3423 Noble St., is currently zoned residential, but has a grandfathered use as an auto repair shop. It received a zoning violation notice in July for “use of premises not consistent with zoning for this area.” Last Tuesday, Sept. 23, the Zoning Board was heard an appeal from Ronald Rinehart, who owns the business, a bedding and furniture store, for which he is seeking a zoning variance. “My business is more quiet with less traffic,” he noted on his application for a use and occupancy permit. Rachel Timmins, president of the Baltimore Highlands Community Association, said that she and the majority of the association’s board were opposed to allowing the store to sell mattresses. “I am personally opposed because, for one, we have a major mattress dumping issue,” she told the Guide last week, citing data compiled by the Americorps National Civilian Community Corps in May and June, as well as her own observations of discarded mattresses in the neighborhood. She also noted that Rinehart hadn’t contacted the community association before applying for the zoning change. At last week’s hearing, Rinehart, a Baltimore City police officer, apologized to the community association for the oversight. “My biggest apology here is to you guys, for not introducing myself,” he said. “I do not dump mattresses in alleys; that doesn’t conform to my standards--not as a police officer,” he also said. Rinehart added that he has noticed drug activity in the area, and he had passed along information to the Southeast Police District, he said. First District City Councilman Jim Kraft, who said he supports the Baltimore Highlands Community Association in the matter, told the Zoning Board that a furniture store is not listed among allowed variances within the type of residential zone applying to the Noble St. area. “It would be good for someone to know this, rather than spending money trying to start something,” Kraft commented to the board. Zoning Board Chair Geoffrey Washington replied that, as the hearing was being postponed, it would be to Rinehart’s benefit to “address any issues you can address during the month-long period before this matter can be heard again.” Washington noted that the hearing was being postponed because Rinehart hadn’t properly posted the hearing on the premises of his business; the sign he posted was too small. Jeffrey Amoros of Kraft’s office reported that Rinehart is back on the Zoning Board’s docket for Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 1 p.m. The applicant wants a furniture and bedding shop in unit 1B. | Photo by Erik Zygmont Your Primary Care is Our Primary Concern Downtown Personal Physicians Top Primary Care Physicians located on the Mercy Medical Center campus and in Canton Dial a Downtown Doctor...

This year, the parade will actually march through Little Italy. At 2 p.m., the parade starts at Key Hwy. and Light St., marches on Light to Pratt St., turns south on Exeter St., passes St. Leo the Great Catholic Church, and disbands on Bank St. in Little Italy. The day is filled with activities commemorating native Italian Christopher Columbus’s discovery of the New World. The commemoration begins at 9:15 a.m. with Mass at St. Leo the Great, 227 S. Exeter St., followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at 10:15 a.m. at Columbus Piazza, at President St. and Eastern Ave. Ticket-holders will enjoy a brunch at 11:30 a.m. at the Little Italy Lodge; tickets will be available at the door. Throughout the day, starting at 12:15 p.m., the Chaun Tels Band will be providing the necessary music for dancing in the streets-specifically, Stiles St., which will be closed until 9 p.m. The music will go on hold at about 2:15 p.m. when the parade passes through, but will resume at about 4 p.m. and continue until 6 p.m. Throughout the afternoon, Stiles St. near Exeter St. will be closed, and refreshments such as beer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks will be available. “All money raised will go to St. Leo’s Church,” said Al Massa, chair of Columbus Day Celebrations. The Columbus Day Parade is known as a major opportunity for high school marching bands, and a few schools from Harford County--including C. Milton Wright and the John Carrloo School--will be in attendance, as well as Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, Frederick Douglass High School, the Archbishop Curley High School drumline, and the Baltimore Westsiders Marching Band. Also expect a major appearance by the Boumi Temple Shriners, who Martin said will be bringing about 150 members, who will be clowning, driving go-carts and conducting other parade-standard activities. Stiles St. will also be the scene of a bocce tournament, which gets underway on Saturday, the day before the parade, and continues into Sunday.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014 October has plenty of opportunities to fight breast cancer, have fun BY ERIK ZYGMONT EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s chock-full of activities to benefit the Tyanna Foundation, a charitable organization with branches in Baltimore; Philadelphia; Greenville, S.C.; Athens, Ga.; and New Jersey. “This is the largest number of small events we’ve had ever in October,” commented Valerie Kent, a volunteer with the Tyanna Foundation. “It’s great, because we’re actually ahead of it.” The Tyanna Foundation is made up of five sisters—Anne, Meghan, Bridget, Sara and Katie—all daughters of Tyanne Barre O’Brien, who died of breast cancer in 1990. She was 48. “She taught me to be humble and appreciate what I have been given, but most of all give back,” wites Anne O’Brien on the foundation’s website, Tyanna.org. “My mom was a ‘serial volunteerer’ if there is such a thing,” she continues. “My sisters and I were dragged around to committee meetings, group homes, soup kitchens, PTA meetings...you name it, she tried to fix it, or at least make it better...She made people’s lives better on a daily basis, and I can only hope to live up to half of what she accomplished in her short life.” The Tyanna Foundation is certainly posting a strong effort to accomplish quite a bit. Since 1999, the year of the first Baltimore BreastFest, the organization’s mainstay fundraising event, the Tyanna Foundation has raised $1.2 million for breast cancer-oriented initiatives at Mercy Medical Center. Currently, the Tyanna is funding three initiatives. The first is funding a patient navigator/ education specialist at Mercy’s Hoffberger Breast Center. “This is a full-time person to help women as they go through breast cancer, including diagnosis, treatment and post-treatment,” explains Valerie Kent, a local Tyanna volunteer. Also in progress is the Tyanna O’Brien Fellowship in Breast Imaging at Mercy, with the goal of addressing the shortage of radiologists specializing in breast imaging. Lastly—by funding educational materials, taxi vouchers and bus fares—Tyanna is trying to increase the likelihood that lower-income women continue their treatments after operations. “We’re really providing financial support for services not always deemed necessary [by insurance providers], but that are really important to have,” says Kent. As mentioned earlier, there are multiple events this month benefiting the all-volunteer Tyanna Foundation, which directs 90 percent of its take directly to the Hoffberger Breast Center, and holds onto 10 percent for other programming, such as education, patient care and support services. Oct. 5, 7-9 p.m., is Paint Night at the Chasseur, 3328 Foster Ave. For $45, guests will receive tutelage from guiding artists and all supplies as they paint their own masterpieces. Twenty dollars from each ticket, available at Tyanna.org, goes back to the Tyanna Foundation. BreastFest, a benefit concert happening in Baltimore since 1999, is the flagship event of the month. This year, BreastFest is Saturday, Oct. 18, 2-7 p.m., at Power Plant Live!, 34 Market Pl. The new location eliminates a key worry for the organizers. “We’re really excited, because the one thing we’ve had to fight with and pray for over the years is good weather,” says Kent. “Even though it’s outdoors, it’s still covered.” Bands playing include B-Tropical, the Remainders, and the Sara O’Brien band, fronted by one of the founders of the Tyanna Foundation. For something a bit more low key, Tyanna is holding the “Breast Lunch Ever” on Monday, Oct. 27, at Linwoods, 25 Crossroads Dr., Owings Mills. The day includes a “Breast Friends First Look Reception” from 10-11 a.m., in which attendees will have champagne and get to know the director of the Hoffberger Breast Center, Dr. Neil Friedman. Following that is an open house for lunch and shopping until 2 p.m.; more information and tickets are available at BreastLunchEver.com Throughout the month of October, Tyanna is benefitting from a whole series of events at the Hard Rock Cafe, 601 E. Pratt St. Every Sunday in October, Eddie from the MAC will lead fitness enthusiasts in Bokwa, a new workout method, on the restaurants outdoor pier from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Suggested donation, to benefit the Tyanna Foundation, is $10. To register, email meghan_welsh@hardrock. com. Other Tyanna events at the Hard Rock Cafe include socials, art nights and cocktail classes; visit tyanna.org/baltimore for more information. The Baltimore Guide is involved too. All month long, we are donating a portion of the proceeds from ad sales for our breast cancer page to the Tyanna Foundation.

The festival included a Polish flea market, traditional dancing, and beer garden, as well as crafts, raffles and an array of vendors selling handmade jewelry, imported pottery and art. Perhaps the biggest draw was the potato pancakes, cooked by Edward Gradus and George Gmytrasiewicz. The line never seemed to drop below 50 deep.

She was 94. The oldest daughter of eventual Greek immigrant parents, Isidore and Kyriaki Paterakis, Liberty was born in Constantinople, Turkey, on April 23, 1920. In 1921, her father left the family’s residence in Chios, Greece, and immigrated alone to the United States in search of a better life for his family. After finding steady work as a baker in Monessen, Pennsylvania, Mr. Paterakis permanently moved his wife and daughters, Liberty and Despina, from Greece in 1928. The family eventually settled in Baltimore where their son John Paterakis Sr., now the chairman of H&S Bakery, was born in 1929. Liberty was a member of the first graduating class of Patterson High School in Baltimore’s Highlandtown neighborhood. In 1942, she met and wed Harry Tsakalos, who worked as a truck driver at Athens Bakery along with her father. Later that year, Liberty Tsakalos gave birth to her only child, Nicholas Tsakalos, who resides in Phoenix of Baltimore County. In 1943, Harry Tsakalos and Isidore “Steve” Paterakis, the “S” of H&S Bakery, purchased Olga and Son Bakery in East Baltimore and reopened under the name H&S, the letters representing their first names. Steve Paterakis, his wife, Kyriaki, and their son, John, made Italian bread by hand and baked it in a brick, flat-hearth oven. Harry Tsakalos drove the company’s sole delivery truck, handling all wholesale and home delivery service. Upon Steve Paterakis’ passing in 1953, his son John and son-in-law Harry continued to grow the business, which in more recent years has expanded its interests in Baltimore including the development of Harbor East. Liberty Tsakalos served in various positions at the family business, including treasurer, sales accountant and manager of the bakery’s outlet store in Fell’s Point. She had a beloved reputation by her family and bakery employees as “a tough lady” who was known to chase nephews and nieces out of the bakery store for trying to sample purchased products that were not manufactured by the company. “My uncle John (Paterakis Sr.) likes to tell about the time when my grandmother was serving as treasurer in the early days of the company’s history,” remembered grandson Harry Tsakalos of Parkville. “Times weren’t always good, and so she would pay the bills alphabetically and would sometimes run out of money by the time she got to the S’s. The suppliers would call and ask where their money was so my uncle would have to tell my grandmother to reverse the order and start paying the Z’s first and work backwards!” “She was an anomaly of her time,” noted her grandson Michael Tsakalos of Hunt Valley, “—a strong woman working in a man’s world, which was especially true of the commercial baking industry in the 1950s and 60s.” She was the last woman in the extended Paterakis and Tsakalos families to have worked at the bakery—a place customarily reserved only for the men of the traditional Greek American family. “Aunt Liberty and Uncle Harry had such a great work ethic and taught us the commitment and importance of hard work,” recounted John Paterakis Jr, vice president of sales and marketing at H&S. In the past 71 years, the privately held company has grown into one of the largest bakeries on the east coast, producing more than 100 varieties of breads, rolls and specialty items. Its sister company, Northeast Foods, Inc., has been a major supplier to McDonald’s Obituary RICHARD JAMES SOUTHALL JR. Suddenly, on Tuesday, September 9, 2014, Richard Southall, Jr. aka “Yogi”, passed away from natural causes. He was born on February 23, 1965 to Judy (nee Carter) and Richard Southall in Baltimore, MD and spent his life in the Canton/Highlandtown area. He received his education at St. Casimirs and Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and served in the U.S. Navy. He worked in construction, then as a plumber for Krick Plumbing and Heating of Hyattsville, MD for 13 plus years.

Liberty Tsakalos’ three grandsons Harry, Michael and Christopher Tsakalos, and nephews Adam, Jonathan and Ryan Paterakis, continue as the fourth generation working for the company. Liberty Tsakalos was a parishioner of the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation in Baltimore. Along with her husband, her brother John and his former wife Antoinette Paterakis, Liberty Tsakalos helped to establish the Annunciation Orthodox Center and numerous other community projects. She and her husband were regarded as one of the pillars of the Greek American community. Liberty Tsakalos was married to her husband Harry for 70 years before his passing in 2012. They lived in Baltimore City throughout their marriage until their deaths. “They were always humble people and beloved by the community and especially by their employees,” recalled grandson Christopher Tsakalos of Phoenix, Maryland. Liberty Tsakalos is survived by her son Nicholas and daughter-in-law Jeanne Tsakalos, grandsons Harry, Michael and his wife Sylvia, Christopher and his wife Triantafilia, as well as five great-grandchildren, Nicholas, Jacob, Mixalitsa, Elijah and Yianni, her brother John Paterakis Sr., and sister Despina “Dee” Sfakianos, as well as many nieces, nephews and godchildren.

Hurdle objected to “all testimony” from Gatto concerning suspected alcohol, because the Police Department had not analyzed the the liquid in brand-emblazoned bottles to determine if it was really alcohol, as stated on the bottles. Following Gatto’s testimony, Officer Larry Fasano of the Southeast District Neighborhood Services Unit gave an overview of calls for service to 515 S. Broadway received by the Police Department. Fasano said that this year, there were 23 calls for service for incidents either inside or directly in front of 515 S. Broadway, including calls for assaults, disorderly persons, and other incidents. During cross-examination, Hurdle asserted that a connection couldn’t be proven between the calls for service and his clients’ lounge. “If I went out drinking in Fell’s Point,” Hurdle asked Fasano, “and I passed out in front of the [Diamond Hookah Lounge] at 2 a.m., that would be called in as [515 S. Broadway], correct?” Supporters’ and owners’ testimony A large group of supporters accompanied the owners of the Diamond Hookah Lounge to the hearing. Due to ground rules laid out by Zoning Board Chair Geoffrey Washington, with the intent of avoiding repetitive testimony, Hurdle said that Charla Faddoul, who owns the building at 515 S. Broadway, would speak for the whole group. Hurdle asked her if the Diamond Hookah Lounge had a negative effect on any of her other nearby properties, including 529, 531, 507, and 516 S. Broadway. Faddoul said that there were no negative effects. “I think these gentlemen are trying to establish something nice for the community. They are doing a legal business and they want to add to this growing environment of Fell’s Point,” Faddoul said. “It’ll bring nice people into the community...It’s not like they’ll be on the street, yelling and screaming, or things like that.” Hurdle also produced a large stack of paper that he said amounted to 400 letters of support or signatures from community members. Joanne Masopust, president of the Fell’s Point Community Organization and a prominent voiceopposed to the lounge getting late-night hours, criticized Hurdle for bringing the letters directly to the hearing and not giving the opposition the chance to review and verify them first. “He’s done this before at a Liquor Board hearing and gotten away with it,” Masopust said. Hurdle responded that, conversely, he hadn’t seen the 40 letters of opposition proffered by Masopust’s side. Desaye, one of the owners of the Diamond Hookah Lounge, also testified in favor of his establishment, which Hurdle said was “actually a nice place to sober up a little bit before running off into the community.” Desaye said that his customers enjoy smoking from hookah pipes while relaxing and watching games and sports on television. Washington told Desaye that the Zoning Board had received photographs of fliers advertising “free alcohol” at Diamond Hookah Lounge events. “I never had free alcohol,” replied Desaye, “but I have promoters—they advertise like that to get people to come.” “So, from your testimony, there are party promoters that have events at your establishment?” questioned board member Martin King. “Yes,” replied Desaye. “And that kind of activity is going on now?” “No, no, we stopped it,” clarified Desaye. “While I don’t believe that those [fliers] are my clients,” said Hurdle, “if they did it, it only occurred initially and hasn’t for months and months and months. The business is established and they don’t need any outside help at this point.” Opposition testimony Del Powell, owner of Teavolve Cafe and “probably the closest resident to the establishment,” he said, testified that he had “experienced numerous issues with the establishment operating late into the night into the morning.” “We’ve been forced to file numerous 311 complaints,” he added. Pedro Silva, who owns Carolina Tex Mex restaurant at 505 S. Broadway with his wife, said “it’s gotten out of control ever since the hookah bar was there...The crowd that comes is a very uncontrollable crowd.” Washington asked Silva if he had experienced problems such as broken bottles in front of his restaurant or people hanging off his awning before the hookah lounge was there. “No,” replied Silva. Daniel Kim, president of the Broadway Area Business Association, said that he was not opposed to a hookah lounge in general. “I am opposed to a dance club open until 5 in the morning,” he said. “Now, if they want to operate in accordance with everybody else, I don’t see a problem.” Kim added that patrons of the lounge tend to stick around the neighborhood even after the lounge closes. “Not only do they loiter, but they decide to play their music from their cars,” he said. Hurdle, who argued at several points that the law requiring a late night operator’s permit was unconstitutional, asked Kim if he ever checks his email after midnight. “You know that’s illegal under this [latenight operator] law,” said Hurdle. “Well it’s a good thing I don’t do it,” said Kim, eliciting laughter from the audience. Decision phase During the board’s deliberation, for which the public was free to sit and listen, board member Jai Bonner observed that Diamond Hookah Lounge had “gone to great lengths to circumvent everything that was already in place” rules-wise. She disputed Hurdle’s argument that a liquid could not be considered alcohol without being officially tested. “We all know it when we smell it,” she said. Bonner said that she was leaning toward denying the lounge the late-night license outright, “but I can be persuaded to give them a try.” Board member Frank Bonaventure said that if the board initially approved the late-night license with restrictions, “then they have the ability to come back and show they are doing the right thing.” Conversely, Bonaventure argued, the board could take away or restrict further the license (which must be renewed annually), should the lounge not follow the rules. As outlined above, the board approved the late-night license, with restrictions including a closing time of 2 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. “I think we can view this as a win,” said Masopust. “It gives [Diamond Hookah Lounge] a legitimate shot, and if they mess up again, we’ll know we were right all along.” “It gives them an opportunity to operate legally,” said Kim. Hurdle and the lounge owners did not immediately comment on the board’s decision.

Many of the presenters are from nonprofit organizations, or are volunteers who are “sharing their experiences with their peers,” So said. During one morning session, a pair of housing organizations will address tenants’ rights. At the same time, a University of Maryland School of Social Work professor will offer strategies aimed at helping residents build relationships across generational lines. Later, a pair of Patterson Park-area residents, Kim Wiggins and Shannon Sneed, will talk about their efforts to add green space to the community. Sneed was successful in applying for permits, and going through the other necessary steps to transform a “concrete jungle” into a pocket park near the corner of Potomac St. and Fayette St. Wiggins helped the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association secure a $250,000 greening grant for projects throughout the neighborhood. At an afternoon session, attendees will also have a chance to discuss city services with local elected officials, including City Baltimore Building Company 1421 E. Baltimore Street Baltimore, MD 21231 410-409-2809 In business for 25 years Councilmembers Brandon Scott, Jim Kraft and Warren Branch, along with State Delegate Luke Clippinger. During the session, the residents gathered will have a chance to ask questions of the elected officials. “It’s probably going to be related to [issues like] waste management, how city agencies are working, and how residents can get better access or use their rep to advocate for what they need and what their communities need,” So said. The Southeast CDC operates housing counseling services and a number of health and arts-focused programs in area neighborhoods. But Saturday’s event will be the group’s first resident leadership training, So said. For the organization, it offers a chance to get back to their roots in community organizing, and help to engage residents in areas beyond housing counselling. “It’s our pilot to see how we might provide trainings for residents in the future,” So said. The Neighborhood Leadership Collaborative runs 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at Patterson Park Public Charter School, located at 27 N. Lakewood Ave. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

BIRDS HOUSE Orioles face tigers in fivegame series Finally! The Baltimore Orioles have clinched their first American League East title since 1997 and are headed to the playoffs as they will face off against the Detroit Tigers. Here‘s what to look for during their best of five series which starts on Thursday. Offense The Orioles hit a Major League-leading 211 home runs, but the Tigers scored 757 runs, second to the Los Angeles Angels. Detroit does have Miguel Cabrera, and even if he isn’t 100-percent, he is still better than most hitters. Detroit also has Victor Martinez who has apparently found the fountain of youth this season. At 35 years old, Martinez has had the best season of his career, batting .335 with 32 home runs and 100 runs batted in. The Orioles have plenty of offensive pop as well, with home-run leader Nelson Cruz leading the way, along with Adam Jones. One can only wonder how much more potent they would be with a healthy Matt Wieters and Manny Machado, but thanks to Buck Showalter, they have found ways to win with players like Steve Pearce stepping up.

BullPen Detroit has had their issues in the bullpen this year, and, while closer Joe Nathan did save 35 games this year, his 4.81 ERA is a bit of a concern for Detroit. As a whole, Detroit’s bullpen pitched to a 4.29 ERA this season, which ranked them 27th. Baltimore, on the other hand, has had an exceptional bullpen, led by closer Zach Britton. Relievers Darren O’Day and Andrew Miller have been lights out, giving the Orioles an easy advantage in the pen. EDGE: Baltimore Defense Detroit made 101 errors to Baltimore’s 87 this season, so the easy answer there is to give this edge to the Orioles, which I will absolutely do. The Orioles are just one year removed from setting a MLB record, committing only 54 errors last year, and even though Wieters and Machado are hurt, the O’s still have a great defense, with J.J. Hardy at short, Adam Jones in centerfield, and Nick Markakis in right field. EDGE: Baltimore While the Orioles have had great contributions from Chris Tillman, Wei-Yin Chen, Bud Norris, and Miguel Gonzalez, the edge here has to go to the Detroit Tigers. Max Scherzer, David Price, Rick Porcello, and Justin Verlander will be on the hill for Detroit. Overall, this will be a fun series to watch That’s just scary. and will most likely go five games. The EDGE: Detroit Orioles will have the advantage of their home field, on which they went 50-31 this year. Detroit went an equally impressive 45-36 on the road, but I see the O’s taking it in five.
