The increases have been the subject of extended squabbling and debate since Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake rolled out her proposed budget in April. “The mayor’s intention was to raise revenue with a large slate of (Former Assistant States’ Attorney) An additional $48 MILLION is expected to go to city hall to pay for cops, fire, rec centers, street cleaning and other essential city services.

Don’t look for it at the Fells Point Chess Club. Here in this little storefront in the 1700 block of Aliceanna Street, you’ll find people of all ages who are, yes, leaning over their boards and studying the pieces, but also carrying on conversations on everything from sports to movies to politics. On TV is the 1985 quasi-cult-classic, “The Last Dragon,” and the music of DeBarge bursts off the screen. Sitting at one of the boards and waiting for his next challenger is David McDuffie.

But that doesn’t mean the Highlandtown Merchants Association isn’t bringing the party here anyway. The merchants association is planning a soccer festival on Saturday, July 10, with food, music, and broadcast entertainment. Instead of hopping a plane and getting serious butt fatigue (not to mention having to go through extensive luggage hassles), sports fans can come over to the 400 block of S. Conkling Street and indulge their love of sports and socializing. And even if someone isn’t ready to celebrate world-class soccer, they can celebrate the world, according to the Claire Corcoran, executive director of the association. “We’re planning this big weekend that’s a global festival,” says Corcoran. “We’re working with Highlandtown Main Streets and Diane Haubner (L) and Pattie Hancock look at evening bags at Stella’s Bridals at Southeast CDC.” SALSAPOLKALOOZA The Creative Alliance’s multi-culti celebration, SalsaPolkaLooza, runs that same day between 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. On the entertainment schedule this year are the 13-piece Salvadoran group Banda Kaliente (merengue, salsa and more), The Continen- last summer’s Highlandtown Merchants Association sidewalk sale. This summer’s sale is Saturday, July 10, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. tals (polka at its finest), the Love Peace Project (hip-hop and West African drumming) and The Shambara Boyz (a Somali refugee hip-hop duo). Multiple dance troupes will perform, artists will hold demos and there will be activities for children. Information on all activities can be obtained by contacting the Creative Alliance at www.creativealliance.org, or 410-276-1651 SIDEWALK SALE Those who find not soccer or dancing but shopping to be their favorite contact sport are in luck as well. The merchants association is holding a sidewalk sale along Eastern Avenue the same day of the event. Hours are from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and the sale is open not just to established merchants, but artists and crafters, as well as regular residents who want to set up yard sale tables. “Because so many of our merchants now are service businesses, and because we have some gaps, like the Haussner’s building,” says Corcoran, “We’ll be placing people’s tables along the street to help fill in the gaps.” There is no cost to participate, she adds, and no permits are necessary. All the merchants ask is that potential table-holders contact them in advance so that they can come up with a high-visibility space for each person. Deadline for reservations is Tuesday, July 8. To reserve, call Claire Corcoran at 410-342-3234, ext. 25. FARMERS MARKET Those who want a break from shopping in the supermarket’s produce aisle can also enjoy the opening of the Highlandtown Farmers Market, to be held (you guessed it) Saturday, July 12, 8 a.m.-noon in the 3500 block of Bank Street, at the corner of Bank and Conkling. Locally grown fruit and vegetables will be available. Kari Snyder of the Southeast Community Development Corporation has noted that this year’s market has expanded its offerings and its diversity. “New this year, we will have wireless debit machines that accept debit cards and Independence Cards (food stamps). Vendors include four local produce farmers, Zeke’s Coffee, a few prepared food vendors, including Blacksauce, which has amazing biscuit breakfast sandwiches, Revolutionary Confection Company , which has vegan, gluten-free baked goods) and Infused Spreads which are fruit spreads. We also have several art vendors.” The grand opening celebration on July 10 will feature three performances: T&T Steel (a steel drum band), the Krakowiaki Polish Folk Dancers and Ballet Folklorico Mexico Vivo with Wolfe Street Academy.

PHOTO BY ALEXANDRA WILDING BY ALEXANDRA WILDING Kevin Villeda aims at the back of the goal and kicks a ball that swishes against the back corner of the net. He rushes to kick in another shot and laughs with satisfaction. Villeda isn't a star on the U.S. national soccer team competing in this summer's World Cup—yet. He's just 12, and a rising 7th grader and honors student at Archbishop Borders School in Highlandtown. “It's just fun...you get to play with professional players,”Villeda said. “When I started school, my grades were very low, but since I started playing soccer, I got more interested in school, and started learning more so I can get better in school and soccer.” Villeda is one of the over 150 kids enrolled in a year-round soccer program offered by the Friends of Patterson Park, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and protecting Patterson Park. Villeda dreams of playing soccer for his native Honduras, as well as for FC Barcelona. If that doesn't work out, he'll become a lawyer, Vidella said. He is supporting Honduras in the World Cup this summer. The Friends of Patterson Park, in partnership with the Crystal Palace Professional Soccer Club, are currently offering free soccer clinics for youngsters in Patterson Park. On Father's Day, approximately 50 kids showed up at Patterson Park to have a clinic with several members of Crystal Palace. There's a lot of soccer history in Southeast Baltimore, said Tim Almaguer, Executive Director of the Friends of Patterson Park. Soccer is starting to come back to the city, Almaguer said. With the rise of the immigrant population from places like South America and Africa, and a growing middle class, there is a lot of interest in soccer in Southeast Baltimore. The area is underserved, and looking for soccer education opportunities, Almaguer said.

The stay-cations, the weekend drives to Ocean City and the day trips are looking bet- ter than ever. So, for that matter, is cruising, and as Royal Caribbean embarks on its first year-round cycle of sailing out of the Port of Baltimore, travel agents are hoping for an upturn in their fortunes. “The port is really helping us,” says Mary Eve VonBerger, owner of the Canton-based business Cruise Lady. “The ships are going out full.” 742 S.

Ellwood Avenue 410-675-9255 CRUISING PAST MR. BOH-Carnival Cruise liners pass the Baltimore waterfront on their way to the Port of Baltimore. Photo courtesy Carnival Cruise Lines The cruise, she adds, is becoming a popular choice because it offers a per-person price that includes meals and entertainment, and because there are children’s programs. VonBerger says that cruising “is all about value and ease.” While the vacation economy dropped off after the terrorist attacks of 2001, the cruise industry started picking up, she notes. Celebrity Cruises began operating out of the Port of Baltimore in the summer of 2001, “and now we got them year round — Carnival sails year round, Royal Caribbean sails year round, and Celebrity comes in the winter.” The construction of the cruise terminal, she points out, has also helped. “They needed that building. The cruises were at Dundalk Marine Terminal, but that didn’t work well, and they needed the space down there. The people at the port have done a tremendous job. We’re considered one of the best ports to cruise in and out of because of the ease of it.” Because individuals and families also travel to Baltimore from other areas on the Eastern seaboard in order to board ships, it has increased Baltimore’s profile as a vacation city, drawing attention to attractions such as Fort McHenry, Harborplace and more. More than a pawn in Fells Point CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 eloquent on life lessons gleaned from the chessboard. “When you play chess, you learn resource management,” he says, picking up a piece and studying it. “We like to say that the king is worth a billion dollars and you’re trying to become a billionaire. What are the resources at your disposal? The pieces are the resources at your disposal.” Compare that, he adds, to the talents and strengths every person has. It’s important to capitalize on those, and to use them to the greatest advantage. Sometimes, sacrifices are made in the name of moving forward. “In chess, you learn to make a series of good moves. In life, you need to make the good decisions to get you where you need to go.” McDuffie, who has been in his current Fells Point location for several years, makes it his business to demonstrate the tie-ins between chess and life. According to him, the strategy and the patience that come into play are lessons in themselves. “People in recovery programs, at-risk youth — they learn to make decisions that help them in their lives. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy teaching chess to others.” McDuffie grew up in New York and took up chess in the second grade. His older brother and father played, and when he played his brother for the first time, “he beat me so badly it made me cry.” McDuffie, not one to give up easily, began reading books about chess. He studied the players and the game. He began beating his older brother, then others. He won some state tournaments. And now, he notes, “I’ve been sharing my love of the game for almost 40 years.” The Fells Point Chess Club, now in its fifth year, offers pickup games (boards are set up both inside the air-conditioned building and out front), lessons and workshops. There are three new summer chess and academic enrichment workshops which can offer everything from ‘how to play chess like a champion’ to math skills (including algebra and calculus) to Spanish, sign language, writing skills and language arts. Prices for four-week sessions are $225 per person. McDuffie says that chess works as a great motivator for kids who need help with their schoolwork.

More than a pawn in Fells Point “I’ll say to them, ‘You can move the piece as soon as you answer this math question’ or ‘You can’t go to the chess tournament without a passing grade in this subject.’” He works with the Maryland Mentoring program as well, teaching life skills. “Doing the right thing at the right time,” he says. “That’s what I try to teach.” Chess has recently become popular in Baltimore City Public Schools, and McDuffie already works with some schools and the YMCA of Central Maryland, spearheading programs in the game. (The Southeast Anchor Library recently put in its own giant chess set as an amenity for children and teens, and the board is almost always in use). There is a Baltimore chess community, and nowhere is it more apparent than on the Internet. Chess bloggers say McDuffie’s organization is particularly active, with events nearly every weekend. While McDuffie gives a tour of the premises visitors come in. Some just stop to say hello and some sit down to play scheduled CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 matches with their regular opponents. All have stories about the way chess has enriched their lives and helped them make new friends, given them mentors and provided them with discipline and direction. The shop is filled with banter, laughter and good-natured teasing. And throughout all of it, “The Last Dragon” loops. DeBarge sings “The Rhythm of the Night” endlessly. Which of course, brings up the obvious question. Why show a Berry Gordy movie about an aspiring martial arts master? David McDuffie just smiles. “It’s great,” he says. “It’s about the search for that final level, the quest for that goal. It’s about working to overcome the obstacles that are presented to you.” Sort of like chess? McDuffie laughs. “Yes,” he says, “a lot like chess.” Note: The Fells Point Chess Club is located at 1717 Aliceanna Street.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 2010 THE BALTIMORE GUIDE 11 CODE RED HEAT ALERT Summer in the city: Where to cool down when the temperatures rise BY JACQUELINE WATTS EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM For nearly two weeks now, Baltimore has weathered an onslaught of the Three Aitches— hazy hot and humid with a chance of rain that never transpired—at least till Monday night. And so we perspire, pore over the movie listings and fret over our BGE bills. Just about every day the City of Baltimore has posted a notice on radio and television stations proclaiming a “Code Red Heat Alert” and announcing that city cooling centers are open. So what is a Code Red Heat Alert, and what is a cooling center? A Code Red Heat Alert is proclaimed by the Health Commissioner during extreme heat, when it is hot enough to create a health hazard to people who are out in the heat for a long time or working hard in the heat. Elderly people, or people with heart or lung disease, diabetes and some other chronic conditions are prone to heat stroke and heat exhaustion on hot days. On Code Red days the city opens cooling centers with air conditioning and cool air and ice available. Mayors’ community action centers will open on weekends, and other city buildings—senior centers, rec centers, libraries—are open on weekdays. In Highlandtown, the cooling center is the Southeast Community Action Center, 3411 Bank Street; in South Baltimore it’s the Southern Community Action Center, 606 Cherry Hill Rd. Interin Health Commissioner Olivia Farrow encourages residents to check on frail and elderly neighbors, and to stay indoors during the hottest hours of the day, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Three people have died so far in the state, two in Baltimore County and one in Montgomery. Health officials said that all three had underlying medical conditions that made the prolonged heat a danger. There is a formula for declaring Code Red: • When the temperature is above 90 degrees with high humidity and: A. The National Weather Service issues a Heat Advisory or: B. The Heat/Health Watch Warning System issues an Excessive Heat Warning or: C. The Heat/Health Watch Warning System issues a Heat Advisory. The National Weather Service issues a Heat Advisory based on the heat index, formula that computes the likelihood of a healthy person suffering ill effects such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke with long exposure or strenuous activity in the heat. On Monday, with the temperature at 97 degrees and 44 percent humidity, the heat index was 105, or dangerous. The steam really starts rising later in the summer, when the heat in the 90s and the humidity is in the 70s or greater. The heat index hits 126 or greater then, which NWS considers an extreme danger. The Heat/Health Watch Warning System is run by researchers at Kent State University, who use a complicated algorithm to customize heat alerts for major metropolitan areas. Baltimore is coupled with Washington, D.C. in the H/HWWS. Cooling centers stay open till 7 p.m. on most code red days, dispensing bottled water and ice and providing a cool place to stay out of the heat. On weekdays, most city buildings are air-conditioned and citizens can seek relief at libraries, rec centers, senior centers and other public buildings. And last weekend, the city opened most of its swimming pools for the summer.

With the increase of childhood obesity, heart disease, and diabetes, the need for sports programs in the city is especially great, Almaguer said. “Whether it be school or neighborhoods, Baltimore is notorious for having little sections, everyone doesn't speak to each other, but this a nice common field, where a lot of kids from different background get to meet each other, sometimes for the first time,” Almaguer said. The clinics offered in the summer break the students into groups and rotate them to various stations that focus on different aspects of the game such as passing, kicking, scrimmaging, and skill games. “You get a breaking down these walls, kids working together, making friends that they probably wouldn't have a chance to otherwise,” he said.

Authority: Friends of Pete Hammen, Patrick Dooley, Treasurer Andrew Marshall, in red shirt, and Korey Veeder of the Crystal Palace Professional Soccer Club taught a passing drill at a Father’s Day soccer clinic in Patterson Park. “It’s a way to give back to the community,” said Marshall. Photo by Alexandra Wilding Andrew Marshall, 26, a four-year player for Crystal Palace, describes the experience of coaching at the clinic as an opportunity to give back to the community. Raised in Ellicott City, he was privileged to have many opportunities to develop as a player, Marshall said. Katie Long, the Recreation Coordinator for the Friends of Patterson Park, greeted parents and kids, handing out name tags, and effortlessly shifting between English to Spanish as she communicated with parents. Long served in the Peace Corps in Honduras where she got to know and appreciate the game of soccer. Perched on a hillside in small patch of shade overlooking the fields, families watched their children run around below. Some mothers clutched children too small or too hot to play in the day's clinic. During the program, the children learn the basics of soccer, it keeps them active, and it's free of charge, said Virginia Ryan, of Mt. Washington. Ryan's son Alexander, 9, attends Patterson Park Charter School. Ryan and her family love all the activities offered in the park. Ryan [SHE] definitely recommends the program to other families. Witold Malkowski brought his son, Kyle, 4, to the soccer clinic for the first time on Sunday. Malkowski was introducing his son to the game. The Friends of Patterson Park will offer free soccer clinics on Sundays in June from 2-4 p.m. at Utz Field, as well as other activities year-round. They also organize a “pass-back”program that functions like a lending library where individuals can donate soccer equipment such as cleats, and youth can get a pair of cleats to use free of charge. For more information, contact The Friends of Patterson Park, 27 South Patterson Park Avenue, by phone (410)276-3676, or by email, Friends@PattersonPark.com.—Alexandra Wilding, a graduate student in journalism at the University of Maryland, College Park, lives near Patterson Park and will be a frequent contributor to The Guide this summer.

Many German Bottled Beers ANGLING FOR MORE PARKING-In Upper Fells Point, reverse angle parking on one side of the street, and parallel parking on the other, results in a one-way traffic flow. Canton is considering a similar situation for many of its streets. Photo by Mary Helen Sprecher Parking spaces (or lack thereof) have long been a point of contention on the urban landscape. Baltimore is no exception. As with most older cities, car traffic (much less homes owned by two, three and even four-car families) were not a factor when streets were designed. And while populations have expanded and cities have gentrified in the intervening years, the roads haven’t gotten any wider. In Canton, the latest salvo in the war on tight space is the possible addition of reverse angle parking, in which streets are painted with diagonal lines, and drivers are required to park their cars head-out (or risk a parking ticket). The result of the change, given the width of many urban streets, is more parking, but the streets then become one-way only. The proposal has been discussed by members of the Canton Community Association (CCA), and following last week’s public meeting with the Canton Angle Parking Subcommittee, the process of exploring a new parking pattern is moving forward. The city’s Department of Transportation has completed traffic studies of various streets in Canton, and has determined that some of the streets that might be eligible for reverse angle parking are Milton Avenue, Luzerne Avenue, Lakewood Avenue, 15 YEARS 5.50%APR 5.75%APR 6.00%APR Fried Hard Crabs are back on our Menu!

That was what we suggested, and what the city agreed on.” The city is in the process of compiling a list of suggested eastbound-westbound streets that would be suitable for the new patterns as well; that list is expected to be released to the subcommittee this week or next. According to Jurkiewicz, the next step will be for volunteers to carry petitions around to blocks that would be affected by the proposed traffic changes. Residents and business owners on those blocks would be asked to sign the petition, stating whether they are for or against changes to their parking pattern (and in some cases, their street traffic pattern). Deadline for all replies to be filed would be July 31. A 70% approval is needed for the change to be implemented on each particular block. (In other words, only those who would be affected by changes to that particular block would be able to sign the petition stating whether they were for or against those changes).

After the winter of 2010, it didn’t seem likely that anyone would ever voluntarily ask for something that started out with the word ‘snow.’ But now it’s summer. In Baltimore. And when the temperature outside inches above 90, only a snowball will do. That’s why Highlandtowners make (sweat-stained) tracks to Icy Delights, at the corner of Fleet and Grundy streets, forgetting all their former reservations about ice, snow and all other things cold. And there it waits, that little wooden shack with its picnic table, its gumball stand and its rainbow of flavors. You’ll find everything here from A to Z. Well, okay, from A (almond) to W (white chocolate chip) but who’s counting? And yes, those are the snowball flavors. There are your tranditons (cherry, orange, sprearmint, etc.) but also some more esoteric stuff like fuzzy navel, banana and almond smash. Marshmallow cream, chocolate and other toppings are available. You’ll also find Edy’s ice cream which comes in cups and waffle cones, with sprinkles and Oreo pieces. We hit Icy Delights on a broiling Thursday afternoon and sandwiched ourselves between a uniformed transit employee, a mom and daughter, and a yuppie from the nearby townhouse development, all of whom looked desperately in need of cooling off. Our choices were the large size (served in a 32-ounce cup) snowballs in cherry with cream topping, and sugar-free egg custard. The ice was finely ground and softly packed, meaning there was no waiting for anything to melt before it was ready to eat. The cherry was sweet and bold (and appropriately red, which turns your tongue and lips the same color). The cream topping provided a nice, smooth counterpart and added a bit of fullness to the flavor. The egg custard was vanilla-y, sweet and rich-tasting. It may have been sugar-free, but there was no telltale bitterness, as there often is with diet flavors. Both flavors caused instant brain freezes, a hallmark experience of summer. (Face it; it just wouldn’t be vacation unless you had at least one occasion to massage the space between your eyes and squint). Really. Don’t you need a snowball (and a gumball) right about now? Icy Delights is located at the corner of Fleet and Grundy.

I know its not easy because it’s been over a month since the O’s put together a string of three wins or more (April 30-May 2 vs. Boston to be specific) but the Orioles are showing some signs of life. After dropping their first two games against the Florida Marlins, the Orioles salvaged the third game with an 11-5 win and then went on to sweep their neighbors to the south, the Washington Nationals. What makes those games a bit more impressive is they were all one run games. Now the Orioles host the Oakland A’s before they head out on a 10 game road trip to face the Red Sox, Tigers and Rangers before the All-Star break. Something else happened this week that made some news. Oriole rightfielder Nick Markakis asked to sit down and talk with owner Peter Angelos about a few things, namely the direction of the team. What makes this talk so important is that Nick MarkaMarkakis, besides Brian Roberts, is one of the kis had a chat with senior Oriole players, and normally is soft spoOrioles principal owner ken. With things taking a downward turn this Peter Angelos about the season, Markakis seems to be more vocal, which direction of the team—and the is a good thing! That emotion seems to be show- team has gone on a tear, winning ing on the field by the whole team with their re- three comeback games from the cent streak, and hopefully things will continue to Nationals. Photo by Sean Levin improve. With that being said… Looks like Adam Jones has his groove back. Over the last week, Jones hit 3 HR and drove in 6 runs while hitting .400. After the start he had to this season, he’s been finding himself in the Who’s Hot section, and hopefully that trend will continue. Miguel Tejada had a nice week as well, hitting .481 with a HR and 7 RBI, and Matt Wieters is picking things up nicely after a poor showing last week, finishing his week with a .438 average and adding a HR and 5 RBI. Alfredo Simon also pitched well, although scarily at times, but still managed to save 2 games for Baltimore and pick up a win in another. Garrett Atkins makes this list being as he was designated for assignment to make room for Koji Uehara. On the season, Atkins was brought in to play first base for the O’s, but managed to hit a measly .214 this year with only one HR and nine RBI. Not the power and production you’re looking for from your first baseman. Ty Wigginton also had a rough week, hitting .167 with only one RBI. Brian Matusz also had a shaky start this week, giving up 6 runs in 6.1 IP. He’ll turn it around this week though…. The Baltimore Guide 526 S.

Brennan dryly. “It’s a diverse revenue stream instead of one large tax increase.” Here is the rundown on the various fees, taxes and fines that we will begin to pay July 1. There are estimates of the amount of cash the fee, tax or fine will bring in to City Hall, courtesy of the city Department of Finance, and tips on how to avoid paying the tax if possible. The centerpiece, and the object of much bickering and finger-pointing, is the CONTAINER TAX, which passed Thursday night. How much? Two cents per bottle, can or pouch, unless it contains dairy products, nondairy milk substitutes such as soy milk, or beverage containing 10 percent or more natural fruit juice. Two-liter and larger containers are exempt. Beer, wine, liquor, soft drinks, bottled tea, seltzer, mineral water and still water are subject to the tax. How much will it bring in? $5.7 million. How can I avoid paying the tax? You can’t. The tax is applied at the wholesale level and passed along to the consumer. Sodas and beer will cost slightly more. It’s the way of the world. When do I start paying? Monday, July 26—20 days after final passage of the bill. PARKING TAX INCREASE How much? The tax applied to your fee to park at any pay garage or lot in the city will increase from 16 percent to 20 percent. Who pays? Anyone who parks a car at a garage or lot in the city, including commuters. The Department of Finance estimates that 55 percent of the tax is paid by commuters. If you are parking in a lot charging $8 an hour, you will pay 32 cents per hour more; if you are paying $120 a month for your commuter space, you will pay $4.80 per month more. How much will it bring in? $5.08 million. How can I avoid paying the tax? Circle the block looking for a free parking spot. Somewhere. Or leave your car at home and take a healthful walk or bike ride to work. The tax is slated to decrease from 20 percent to 19 percent on July 1. 2013, unless City Council extends it. When do I start paying? Tomorrow, July 1. PIGGYBACK INCOME TAX Baltimore’s piggyback income tax rate will go up to the maximum 3.2 percent from 3.05 percent. The piggyback tax is the percentage that is added to the state income tax and sent along to the city. Howard, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties already have a 3.2 percent piggyback tax. Finance estimates that a family of four bringing in $73,788 a year (median imcome for the city) will pay $3.27 per biweekly paycheck. A single person making $36,000 would pay an additional $1.85. How much will it bring in? And additional $5.9 million. Who pays? Every city resident with an income. Very low-income families are exempt. How do I avoid the tax? There is a way, but it involves possible prosecution, fines and imprisonment. When do I start paying? January 1, 2011. TELECOMMUNICATIONS TAX The rate rises to 40 cents (from 35 cents) per Centrex or trunk like, and to $4 a month (fron $3.50) for residential, business and PBX local WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 2010 exchange lines. How much will it bring in? $3.7 million. How do I avoid the tax? Get rid of your landline. When do I start paying? Tomorrow, July 1. Your August bill will reflect the increase. PROPERTY TAX DISCOUNT CUT The city, till now, offered a one percent discount on property tax bills paid by July 31 and a half-percent discount on property tax bills paid by Aug. 31. The new law offers a half percent for bills paid by July 31, period. Homeowners with $60,000 assessed value, paying $1,361 a year, will see their discount cut from $14 to $7. With $135,000 assessed value, it goes from $31 to $15; with $250,000 assessed value, the discount is $28 instead of $57. HOTEL TAX The hotel tax will rise from 7.5 percent to 10 percent. Forty percent of hotel taxes collected goes to Visit Baltimore, the city’s tourism agency, and the city gets the remaining 60 percent. How much will it bring in? $2.6 million to Visit Baltimore and $3.9 million to the city. Who pays? Tourists, conventioneers, your visiting parents. How do I avoid paying? Don’t head to a hotel, however attractive he or she is. Go home and sleep it off. When do I start paying? Tomorrow, July 1. Parking meter fee increase Parking fees at EZ-Park kiosks downtown and in Federal Hill and Fells Point will double, from $1 to $2 an hour. How much will it bring in? $3.1 million. How can I avoid paying? Stay home. That seems a little extreme though. Parking fine increase Fines for illegal parking will increase. How much will it bring in? $1.6 million. How do I avoid paying? Park legally. “SIMULATED SLOTS” LICENSING Simulated slots are amusement machines that have a “knockoff” switch—a device that erases unplayed games from the machine. Typically, although it is illegal, the owner of the device pays the player for the unplayed games—therefore, most simulated slots are unregulated gambling machines. You have seen them. They’re the poker or slot machines in the darker corner of the bar. The new law reduces the licensing fee to $180 and then imposes a flat tax per machine. Owners or lessees of five or fewer machines pay $2,250 per machine; 6-20 pays $1,750 and 21 or more pays $1,250 per. How much will it bring in? $1.26 million. How do I avoid paying? The tax is imposed on the owners or lessees of the machines. When do they start paying? January 1, 2011. CIVIL CITATIONS FINE INCREASE Fines for civil citations have increased 100 percent to 500 percent. Civil citations are given for public disorderliness, spitting, public urination, carrying an open container of alcohol, and other minor annoying offenses. For instance, public urination will cost you $500, as will smoking indoors in a public place. Public drunkenness can cost you up to $1,000. How much will it bring in? Based on current collection of citation fines, which is about 50 percent, the increase will bring in an additional $173,000. How do I avoid paying? Show a little selfcontrol, for crying out loud.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 SM qualified for reverse angle parking. “You can’t do it on bus routes or truck routes, and you can’t do it if the road is a major thoroughfare. Clinton Street was tentatively not approved because it’s a frequently used northsouth route.” According to Tia Waddy, community relations coordinator for the Baltimore Department of Transportation, the advantages of reverse angle parking are about a 50% increase in parking spaces (minus space taken up by driveways, fire hydrants, etc.). Parking spaces for the handicapped would be 1-1/2 times as wide as a regular space to allow for access. In addition, Waddy says, the department of transportation “thinks reverse angle parking is safer because it provides better visibility when exiting a space. There’s a quicker entry into the traffic flow.” Reverse angle parking enthusiasts also say that the pattern is safer because drivers will not have to back out blindly, particularly when a larger or higher vehicle is parked next to them, an advantage not just to the drivers themselves but to pedestrians and cyclists who are nearby. In addition, when children are entering or exiting a parked car, the doors swing out, blocking them from running into the street as easily. Those who oppose angle parking dislike it for just as many reasons, says Waddy. “The installation generally requires the street to be converted from twoway to one-way,” she notes, “and there’s people who don’t want that. Also, there’s aesthetics. Not everyone likes the way it looks.” One group that would vote against the change to reverse angle parking is the Canton Square Homeowners Association, according to Teri McBirney, president. “We had a board meeting and there was overwhelming input against angle parking,” she notes, “so we are going to poll all of our neighbors, especially those who would be affected. We believe those would be the people on Kenwood Avenue, and Elliott and Potomac streets. We understand that it’s an individual block issue.” The members of Canton Square Homeowners Association, she notes, “felt that angle parking would be changing the look of the community. The other comments we got were that it would change the traffic pattern. People weren’t sure how the traffic would flow. They wanted a little more information on that.” Should the street changes receive the necessary 70% approval, Waddy says that the transportation department generally tries to implement them within six months. However, there are a number of variables; the petitions can be delayed, the weather can be too wet to allow the city to mark the street, and the construction season ends in November which means that changes may not be able to be implemented until spring. Whether or not the parking and traffic alterations are approved, says Waddy, depends upon the level of support. “Generally when the community association is behind this, there’s a general desire among the residents who want it.
