Tonight: Meet the candidates
By now, you have seen the campaign signs
posted on homes and businesses. But do you
really know who is running for the state’s 46th
District Delegation, and their stances on the
issues that affect you, your family and your
business?
These questions may be answered at a
candidate’s forum for the 46th Legislative
District, scheduled for Wednesday, May 28,
6-8 p.m., at Patterson Park Public Charter
School, 27 N. Lakewood Ave.
Election season is here; the primary election
is Tuesday, June 24, and the general election
follows on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
All registered candidates hoping to
represent our 46th District in the Maryland
General Assembly have been invited to the
forum; most have confirmed their attendance.
Candidates for the State Senate as well as the
House of Delegates, Republican and
Democrat, will be available to answer
residents’ questions in a public setting.
The Maryland General Assembly has a
huge effect in the state. The body makes major
decisions on many of the issues you see in the
Baltimore Guide, including liquor, education,
transit, infrastructure, public safety, healthcare
and more.
The forum is being held by the League of
Women Voters of Baltimore City, and is
co-sponsored by the Downtown Baltimore
Family Alliance. The Baltimore Guide is
assisting in publicizing the forum.

Sadie Stingray, Charm City Roller Girl, tells all
by danielle sweeney DSWEENEY@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
The Charm City Roller Girls’ home season winds down with the
Home Season 9 Championship this weekend, May 31, at Du Burns
Arena. CCRG spokeswoman Sadie Stingray tells what it’s like to be a
roller derby competitor, how she got involved, and how you can join the
team--or at least take some derby skating lessons.
Who are the Charm City Roller Girls?
Stingray: Baltimore’s own nine-year-old flat track women’s roller
derby club. CCRG is based out of the Du Burns Arena in Canton.
CCRG has four intra-league teams [Junkyard Dolls, Mobtown Mods,
Speed Regime, and Night Terrors] that bout each other, and three interleague travel teams [All Stars, Female Trouble, and Trouble Makers].
We have a fair number of Baltimore-area skaters, but we also draw
heavily from the nearby counties and even the Eastern Shore.
Who can join CCRG?
Women ages 18 and over. Right now, we have women who are in
their early 20s to mid-40s. It helps if you know how to roller skate, but

AmeriCorps team surveys state of Highlandtown and Baltimore Highlands’ alleys

A nine-member team of AmeriCorps
volunteers recently began surveying more
than a dozen southeast Baltimore alleys that
are plagued by trash and illegal dumping.
Their survey and data analysis will continue
until mid-June, when they will make
presentations to local community groups and
share their recommendations and findings.
The volunteers, from AmeriCorps’
National Civilian Community Corps
(NCCC), came at the request of the
SoutheAast Community Development
Corporation (SECDC) to provide seven
weeks of alley cleaning and support to
neighborhoods and residents who live near
alleys behind the following residential and
commercial blocks (even and odd): 3200,
3300, 3400 and 3700 Leverton Ave.;
3400,3500, and 3600-3900 Mount Pleasant
Ave.; 3400-3500 E. Baltimore St.;3400-3500
Eastern Ave.; 3700-3800 Benefit St. (behind
3700-3800 Eastern Ave); 100-200 N. Dean
St., 400 S. Dean St.; and 3600 Esther Pl.
The AmeriCorps team will be visiting the
alleys, cleaning them up, and documenting
and photographing the debris ( clothes,
furniture, bottles, needles, etc..) that they
find on a daily basis, Agatha So, a SECDC
community organizer working with the
group, said.
“They will take before and after shots, go
door to door in the neighborhoods with a
flier, interview residents about their
experiences, and make 311 calls for the
removal of items.Next they will be
interviewing Highlandtown and Baltimore
Highlands business owners about their
experiences.”
So said the problems with the areas are
trash, illegal dumping, and irresponsible
landlords who don’t dispose of trash and
other refuse properly.
The illegal dumping, she added, includes a
variety of items, but frequently construction
materials, most likely dumped by people
who don’t live in the area.
“Anecdotally, I’ve heard stories of people
intentionally
coming
into
these
neighborhoods to dump things,” So said.
The outcome the neighbors and the
SECDC would like to see, she said, is more
residents of the north east Highlandtown
cor r idor
ca l l i ng
311
themselves independently --and ultimately
developing a relationship with the city’s
Department of Public Works-- and together
with DPW creating a plan to target the illegal
dumping hot spots.
“We’d like to see neighborhood be able to
address sanitary concerns in a sustainable
way, and in a year or so we hope to see
residents completing higher-level projects
and capital improvements. It’s our hope that at that point illegal dumping will no longer
be a barrier to their success,” So said.
The AmeriCorps volunteers come from
all over the U.S. but are regionally based in
Maryland. They are staying at the old Our
Lady of Pompei Church convent, while they
are working in the Highlandtown area.

As development increases in
eastern Southeast, SEND seeks
community-minded individuals
by ERIK ZYGMONT
EZYGMONT@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
The eastern end of southeast Baltimore
has seen a large share of major activity lately.
There’s the Amazon fulfillment center
being ultra-rapidly constructed near
Broening Highway and Holabird Ave. The
former PEMCO property across from Johns
Hopkins Bayview Hospital has recently been
bought, and developers have put forward an
early concept including residential and
commercial uses. The first phase of Key’s
Pointe, the mixed-income neighborhood that
will eventually replace the O’Donnell
Heights housing project, has been completed
and rented out.
When large projects such as these come up
in other parts of the Southeast, there are
organizations and groups that interface
between developers and the established
community, negotiating for an outcome that
will move development forward while
protecting residents’ interests. Examples
include the Fell’s Point Task Force and the
Southeast Community Development Corp.
In the far east of the Southeast, that group
is SEND, or Southeast Neighborhoods
Development, an umbrella group with
representatives from eight communities,
including Bayview, Eastwood, Greektown,
St. Helena, O’Donnell Heights, Graceland
Park, Steelton Manor and Broening/
Medford.
Elaine Welkie, chairperson of SEND and
a resident of the Bayview neighborhood, says
that SEND is meant to enhance, rather than
supersede, the individual community
associations in its membership.
“We’ve never had any intentions of
running over anybody,” she said. “We
certainly wouldn’t support a project that a
community association opposes.”
SEND was born over a decade ago through
then-Mayor Martin O’Malley’s Strategic
Neighborhood Action Plan, which was
implemented “to get neighborhoods in a
contiguous area to sit down and discuss
problems they share,” Welkie said.
“We pretty much review issues that affect
more than one neighborhood,” she said,
adding that those issues include streetscape,
transportation, public safety and sanitation.
SEND also monitors city zoning dockets
and Liquor Board dockets for potential
impacts to the community.
“We let the community leaders know, in
case they haven’t been notified,” said Welkie,
“and we ask if we can be of any assistance in
any way.”
So far this year, SEND was one of the first
community groups to engage with the buyers
of PEMCO site. The group is also trying to
establish a dialog with Amazon.
Welkie says that SEND’s past
accomplishments include two major
streetscape improvements.
Improvements to Eastern Ave., from the
Greektown underpass to the city line, are
now complete in a project that started about
13 years ago.
Work on Dundalk Ave., from Eastern Ave.
to the city line, is currently underway.
“Everybody hates it right now, but it will
be nice when it’s completed,” joked Welkie,
referring to the extensive construction work
currently happening on Dundalk Ave.
Welkie said that for the Dundalk Ave.
project, SEND worked with the
Neighborhood Design Center, a nonprofit
organization that enlists planners to provide
preliminary design services pro bono. SEND
also sought help from Morgan State
University, and eventually presented the
Baltimore City Department of Transportation
with ideas for the road improvement, which
was added to the city’s capital improvements
plan.
“It only took once [before DOT], but it
was a couple of years’ work on our part,”
said Welkie.
SEND has also been involved in
improvements to Cimaglia Park in the St.
Helena community.
“We assisted in getting several city, state
and federal agencies together,” said Welkie.
SEND is currently seeking new members.
“We’ve been at this for 10 years,” Welkie
said. “We’re looking for new blood and fresh
ideas.”
Each of the communities in SEND may
have up to five representatives--three
community representatives and two business
representatives.
Anyone interested in joining may contact
Welkie at 410-633-4750, or ewelkie1@
jhmi.edu.
First phase of Key’s Pointe completed
by ERIK ZYGMONT
The first phase of Key’s Pointe—a
residential neighborhood meant to replace
the O’Donnell Heights housing project—has
been completed and fully rented.
“It’s physically here,” said Andrew
Vincent, housing director of AHC Greater
Baltimore, which has partnered with the
Michaels Organization on the project. “It’s
about rebuilding infrastructure, and it’s about
investment in a community that sorely
needed it.”
Phase Ia of Key’s Pointe includes 76
housing units, mostly two-story townhomes.
Thirty-nine of those units are heavily
subsidized housing, and the other 37 are
rented out at set, “work force” housing rates.
Vincent noted that the work force rates
happen to align very closely with market
rental rates in the surrounding neighborhood.
Vincent said that the residents themselves
had input into the design of the units, most of
which include a small, attached storage shed,
outdoor grilling area, a front and back door,
and clothesline attachment.
“We didn’t think about clotheslines
because they had dryers,” said Vincent,
noting that drying clothes in the sun is free.
“Quite frankly, it never occurred to me, but it
was an ask that made sense.”
What also made sense, he said, was to put
together a housing community without an
overly-homogenized look. Some of the
townhomes in Key’s Pointe are brick; others
have traditional siding. They have more
variation than some of the more recent
market developments in the Southeast. The
roof lines differ unit to unit, in both height
and angle.
“You can’t do a straight line, because then
it starts to look like barracks again,” said
Vincent, referring to the previous incarnation
of O’Donnell Heights, which was 70-yearold, barracks-style housing.
There were about 900 units in the original
O’Donnell Heights, about two-thirds of
which was gradually torn down from 2004
through 2007.
Additional phases of Key’s Pointe will
eventually replace all of O’Donnell Heights,
including the 300-or-so units still standing
today.
Vincent said that his group is in the
process of firming up funding for Phase Ib,
which will add an additional 75 units. He
said that he anticipates construction to begin
in late 2015 to early 2016.
Phase Ib, he said, will have 64 additional
rental units—work force and heavily
subsidized—as well as, hopefully, a handful
of for-sale units for individual ownership.
In combining deeply subsidized, work
force and for-sale units, Vincent said, a
community of mixed incomes and mixed
tenure is created.
“You’re trying to serve multiple
populations, and you’re rehousing folks from
the old O’Donnell Heights housing,” he
explained. “From that standpoint, you want
as much deeply-subsidized housing as
possible, but balanced out by not having that
same concentration of poverty.”
Vincent said that with subsidized housing,
the standard is moving away from
“warehousing” low-income people into
projects.
“There’s been a push to include more of a
mixed-income community,” he said, noting
that the ideal ratio would be one-third deeplysubsidized units to one-third work force
units to one-third individual ownership units.
When Key’s Pointe incorporates for-sale
housing into the mix, he said that the goal
will be “to do the best product at as high a
quality as we can at as low a price-point as is
possible.”
There is interest out there—as Vincent
was being interviewed by the Guide, a
couple stopped into the rental office for an
inquiry. When they were informed that all
units had been rented out, they asked if any
were for sale.
“Bingo,” said Vincent.

7 Things You Must Know Before
Putting Your Home Up for Sale
Baltimore - A new report has just
been released which reveals 7 costly
mistakes that most homeowners
make when selling their home, and a
9 Step System that can help you sell
your home fast and for the most
amount of money.
This industry report shows clearly
how the traditional ways of selling
homes have become increasingly
less and less effective in today's
market. The fact of the matter is that
fully three quarters of homesellers
don't get what they want for their
homes and become disillusioned and
- worse - financially disadvantaged
when they put their homes on the
market.

that cost them literally thousands of
dollars. The good news is that each
and every one of these mistakes is
entirely preventable. In answer to
this issue, industry insiders have

Home Sold Fast and For Top Dollar".

Campaigning in the 46th; an afternoon with Brooke Lierman
by ERIK ZYGMONT
Brooke Lierman, a Fell’s Point resident
running for a delegate seat in the 46th District,
is wrapping up the final weeks leading up to
the June 24 primary election with an age-old
grassroots political activity—door knocking.
Her campaign invited the Guide to tag
along on a May 18 session in Brewers Hill,
south of Fleet St. in the Fagley St. area.
“We’re trying to run a true grassroots
campaign, which I think is the best way to
reach the city,” says Lierman, a Democrat
running on a ticket with incumbent delegates
Luke Clippinger and Pete Hammen as well as
State Senator Bill Ferguson.
Over the last year, Lierman has personally
knocked on over 11,000 doors and appeared
at over 40 meet-and-greets at residents’ homes
and local businesses.
She says she enjoys it.
“When I first started door knocking, I
thought it was a great way to meet people,”
she says. “Now, I see it as a way to learn about
people—learn about the district.”
On May 18, Lierman’s campaign had a total
of 10 door-knockers pounding the pavement,
but Lierman herself engaged voters in Brewers
Hill alone (though she was accompanied by
the Guide).
“I don’t want to waste resources,” she says,
adding that she typically door-knocks solo in
the evenings after her day job as a civil rights
attorney for Brown, Goldstein and Levy LLP.
I’m just
letting you
know that
I’m real.
She often refers to her work as an attorney—
specifically her pro bono work for the
Highlandtown Community Association—to
illustrate her commitment to communities. In
December 2012, Lierman argued the
community’s case in front of the Baltimore
City Liquor Board, and the result was the shutdown of La Raza Cantina, a bar at Eastern and
East avenues that was the scene of some

Pop-up Art Installation: Ever wonder
what it is like to suddenly experience a new
culture and not understand the language,
customs, products, or food? Artist Victor
Torres invites you to his mock design agency,
where products are developed and marketed-but for a fictitious civilization created by the
artist through his research around culture and
the origins of language. Get ready for some
fun as you explore a world that seems almost
familiar...but not quite. On May 30, Torres
will curate local performance artists Hoesy
Corona, Sarah Tooley, Kata Frederick, and
others to transform the temporarily
unoccupied space at 3320 Eastern Ave. into an
all-immersive art installation. Guests are
invited to explore this fictitious design agency
as both passersby and as interactive
participants inside the world of this newly
created culture. The pop-up event will be held
from 3-5 p.m. The event is made possible
through a partnership of Highlandtown Main
Street, Highlandtown Arts District, and
UMBC’s Center for Art, Design and Visual
Culture (CADVC) promoting arts and
performance and the potential of unoccupied
storefronts along Eastern Ave. in
Highlandtown’s Main Street district.

10 BALTIMORE GUIDE
Wally’s world: A picturesque path
By Erik Zygmont
He’s not painting Impressionist haystacks
through the four seasons, and he’s not taping
the word “yes” to the ceiling for the delight of
ladder-climbing gallery-goers.
Michael Wallace, a.k.a. Wally GPX, creates
art of a different type. He rides his bike
around the city while running a couple
different tracking apps—MapMyRide and
My Tracks—on his smart phone. When he’s
finished his day’s journey, which may be 50
miles, the path he traces through the Baltimore
street grid is a picture.
Sports fan? Check out “Batter Up!”:
He has, for example, depicted the epic battle
between Godzilla and Mothra:
He has also drawn more bucolic scenes—two guys
fishing in the harbor, for example:
Here’s a beaver gnawing down a tree, just because:
BALTIMORE GUIDE 11
Neither intrigued nor interested? At least
amused? Please accept our condolences; you
can’t be helped.
It was a sense of amusement that initially
brought Wallace down this strange artistic
path.
“My entire project began with me trying to
spell my name, ‘Wally,’ across the city,” he
says. “It was a perfect way to trick myself into
exercising.”
It quickly evolved from there.
“There’s a feeling that’s hard to describe,”
he says. “The first time I pulled off that
ride—I’ve been chasing that feeling ever
since.”
How does he do it?
“I stare at these maps, and things will pop
out at me, or I’ll think of something I want to
make, and find parts of the city that will
work.”
Look at his depictions, and you might think
that they would be intriguing and worthy of
note even without the “created-while-riding-abike” allure. Some have in fact accused
Wallace of simply drawing continuous-line
pictures on digital maps.
But he has proof of his labors.
“MapMyRide keeps track of my distance,
speed, elevation changes, and everything,” he
says. Wallace is a Canton resident, and
apparently the Southeast offers a versatile
canvas for such projects, as the Canton
waterfront and Patterson Park are very often
visible in his depictions. It seems that he uses
Patterson Park, at times, as a blank canvas for
those projects or parts of projects unsuited to
the geometric street grid. The curves of the
Loch Ness Monster (or is it Chessie?), for
example, were created in park’s open fields.
Sometimes, Wallace literally bumps into a
wall. If a less determined artist were behind
the handlebars, an unexpected fence could cut
short a kite string or ruin a skull’s top hat.
However, like Clint Eastwood’s team of
misfits in “Heartbreak Ridge,” Wallace has
learned “to improvise, to adapt, to overcome.”
“I’ll put my phone through a fence, and go
all the way around and pick it up on the other
side,” he says.
The age old question: How does he go to
the bathroom?
“I have to hide the phone outside, somewhere
that’s not leaving the path,” he says.
Every long pause noted in his MapMyRide
software doubtless tells a story. There have
been mishaps. Once, Wallace had traveled
44.7 miles to create a giant spider. Near the
end of his journey, a drop of his sweat landed
on the screen of his smart phone. Wiping it
off, he accidentally swiped “Stop recording.”
“Thank God I’ve got another tracking app
going,” he says, explaining his reasoning for
using two apps at once.
Another time, Wallace was 20 percent into
Wally GPX prepares for another adventure.
a huge gecko when he made a wrong turn.
Instead of starting over, as he sometimes
chooses to do, he improvised the remainder of
the giant lizard.
“I looked at it and thought, ‘It’s just not as
good as it could have been, but it’s still kind of
cool,’” he says.
Over the years, Wallace has learned some
tricks of the trade. To make a nice, sharp, right
angle, for example he will, if making a right
turn, first cross to the left side of the road,
make his turn, and then cross back to the right
side of the road, pinching the corner a bit.

“When you zoom out, it makes a perfect
90-degree angle,” he says.
What’s it like to be in Wally’s world?
“I can only try to ride my vision as best I
can, and hope to get the tracking accuracy that
I crave,” he says, surely (supplying the
metaphor-makers with ample grist) setting up
some kind of far-reaching metaphor in which
art imitates life. “I mostly think about
everything around me while anticipating what
my next turn is. I find myself constantly trying
to position myself heading into every turn,
which amusingly has allowed me to learn so
many city streets. I’ve become familiar
enough with some areas to the point that I
occasionally imagine myself ‘looking down’
on where I am as I ride.”
And when he’s done, what he never takes
for granted is freedom, “the fascinating
feeling I experience every time I pick a route
to zoom home from once my recorded
pathway is completed...”

ROLLER GIRLs: Team is volunteer-run
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
you don’t necessarily have to come to us a
good skater. When I joined CCRG, I hadn’t
skated in 20 years and had never played a
team sport in my life.
What are the skill requirements?
We have various levels of skill assessments
for joining a team. Skating for roller derby
(skating in a gaming scenario) is different
from roller skating. When you were skating as
a child, you were not trying not to get hit, for
instance. Everyone passes the skill assessments
at their own pace. It can take one person four
months and another person a year or more.
Once you’ve passed all your assessments, you
can get drafted to a CCRG team.
How did you get involved?
I’ve been involved for a few years now.
Before I joined, I was aware that Baltimore
had a women’s roller derby team, and I thought
it would be fun to do. Years went by, and I met
a derby skater at a work event. Two days later,
I saw an advertisement for CCRG boot camp
(10 weeks of training) and I signed up.
When people who are interested in CCRG
tell me, ‘I don’t know if I could do that,’ I tell
them everyone’s journey in derby is their own.
You’re pushed out of your comfort zone, but
derby is different for every skater. It’s very
empowering, really an amazing and diverse
and supportive environment. You have a
support system of 60-80 women behind you.
Right now, I play for Speed Regime and
Trouble Makers.
Who runs CCRG?
It’s team-run, 100-percent volunteer, from
skaters to officials. It’s our hobby, but we are
passionate about it.
What can I do if I want to learn more
about CCRG?
We recruit year round. We have monthly
Charm School classes [derby skating lessons]
for men and women for $15. July 19 is our next
Charm School at Skateland North Point, 1113
North Point Rd. in Dundalk. Visit the Charm

BALTIMORE GUIDE 15
Well-known mural artist plans
communal art space
by DANIELLE SWEENEY
DSWEENEY@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
Michael Owen, founder of the Baltimore
Love Project, will open HOME, a new
communal art space focusing on international
artists, early in 2015, near the corner of Eastern
Ave. and Conkling St., a few doors down from
Hoehn’s Bakery. We spoke with Owen about
his project.
What was the impetus for HOME?
Owen: There is no “circuit” for international
travelling artists. Artists often have to stay
wherever they can. When you have to sleep on
the floor or on a stranger’s sofa and finish your
painting in someone’s kitchen, I think the
artwork can suffer. I wanted to give travelling
artists a proper space to work and live.
Also, I’ve been at the Creative Alliance for
three-and-a-half years now, and my lease is up
in June. HOME will be a live-work space for
me. I will live upstairs and a guest artist will
live downstairs. Currently, I’m renting the
space from Blue Star Realty.
What will HOME look like?
Right now it is a warehouse space, but I am
professionally building it out to suit the needs
of artists. It will have workshop area and room
to host shows.
Where will the artists come from and
how long will they be in residence?
The focus is on international artists, and they
will be commissioned for two to four weeks.
Why did you decide to locate HOME in
Highlandtown, and not another part of the
city, such as Hampden or Station North?
Part of the reason I’m doing it is for the space
to be a creative hub for Highlandtown.
I’ve lived in Baltimore for 14 years, in 10
different neighborhoods, and the response I’ve
gotten from Highlandtown has been amazing.
The Southeast CDC has been tremendously
helpful. Highlandtown values me, and I see it
as an opportunity for Highlandtown to grow
their arts district and an opportunity to help the
neighborhood progress in the right direction.
How is HOME being funded?
At this point, this is my personal project.
Funding is coming from various sources.I’m
not affiliated with any organizations or a
university. I’m trying to get grants.
What will the artists in residence do?
They will create a public work (in
collaboration with a local artist), offer a free
public lecture, host a workshop, train artists
and enthusiasts of various levels, and exhibit in
a group/culmination show. The debut group show will be held in
November of 2015 in the main gallery of the
Creative Alliance.
How should local artists interested in
collaborating with visiting artists contact you?
Local artists who are interested in such a
collaboration can contact me at michaelowen
art.com.

feeling depressed or
having memory problems?

PET CARE
By Adriene Buisch
No puppies in public?!
When you get a new puppy, what’s the first
thing you want to do, aside from posting
hundreds of photos on Facebook?
You want to take your puppy out and about
to show everyone your new fur-ball bundle of
joy! But stop right there. Understanding your
puppy’s immune system and the importance
of completing vaccinations might make you
think twice.
Taking your puppy out in public, on walks
and around unfamiliar dogs before his
vaccinations are complete puts him at risk for
infectious diseases.
Why? At this point, your puppy hasn’t
fully developed his own immune system.
Antibodies, which are special proteins
made by the body to neutralize disease before
it can cause harm, are part of the immune
system. Your puppy is born with mommy’s
antibodies, which are very important during
the first six weeks of life. However, they
gradually break down ,and are gone by four
months of age.
This is why we start to vaccinate at six-toeight weeks of age. As the maternal antibodies
dissipate, vaccines start to help your puppy
build his own protection.
Vaccines stimulate production of new
antibodies, creating an army of memory cells
ready to fight disease. Vaccines are
administered through 16 weeks of age,
because periods of insufficient maternal or
own antibodies cause “windows of
vulnerability.”
Basically, if shots aren’t done, your pup isn’t
protected.
So what does that mean? It means you
shouldn’t be taking your puppy to dog parks,
walking in public places, or exposing it to
unknown dogs.
Some diseases such as Parvovirus,
Distemper, and Leptospirosis are highly
contagious and can be contracted by inhalation
or ingestion. Let’s be real—dogs do much
more than shake hands when they meet.
But it’s not just interaction with unknown
dogs that may put your puppy at risk. Diseases
can be in the soil, water, and even the air.
Now this doesn’t mean you should isolate
your puppy in your house until all the shots
are done. Socializing is critical the first 16-18

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.*

BALTIMORE GUIDE 19
BIRDS HOUSE
by Andy
Mindzak
An injury and an opportunity
With Tommy Hunter spending some time
on the disabled list due to a strained groin,
the Orioles have had Zach Britton take over
as closer.
Two questions arise.
When Tommy Hunter comes back, will he
go back to being closer?
Is Zach Britton the best choice as closer?
First off, let’s look at Hunter. His injury is
not terribly serious and should only keep him
out for a short period of time. While healthy
this season until now, Hunter has not
impressed. His 11 saves are tied for third in
the American League, which isn’t too shabby,
but his 6.06 ERA and 1.84 WHIP are
atrocious. In his 16.1 innings of work this
year, he has allowed 25 hits and has also
blown three save chances.
Hunter was given the closer role based on
his fantastic 2013 season, in which he posted
a 2.81 ERA in 86.1 innings pitched. It
seemed like a decent option with the O’s
shipping Jim Johnson to Oakland (which
now looks like a smart move, incidentally).
Hunter looked like a viable candidate based
on his 2013 numbers.
Now, Zach Britton has emerged as a solid
replacement for Hunter, and potentially
moving forward once Hunter is reinstated.
Britton has posted great numbers this year: a
0.65 ERA in 27.2 IP, three saves in three
chances, and a 0.87 WHIP.
The other possible option is Darren O’Day.
O’Day has been nothing but amazing since
coming to the Orioles after the 2011 season.
He has been the one arm out of the bullpen
that Buck Showalter can count on time and
again to get the job done. This year has been
no exception, as O’Day has an ERA of 0.90
in 20 innings of work, and his WHIP of 0.95
also shows just how effective he has been.
Personally, I say leave Britton as the closer
for the time being. While I feel both could get
the job done, keeping O’Day along with lefty
Brian Matusz in that set-up role will go a long
way in bridging the gap up to the ninth
inning. When Hunter returns he can be
another strong right-handed arm out of the
pen like he was last year, but for now, the
closer’s job is Britton’s.

Drug deal goes bad on S. Baylis
Robbery
N. Ellwood Ave., 600 block, May 18,
2:20 p.m. The three male victims stopped in
the block so one of them could buy cigarettes.
He bought his cigarettes and was
approaching the car where the other two
were waiting when. As he was getting in,
one of the suspects approached from behind,
pushed him in the car, and got in with him.
The suspect pointed a revolver at the victims
and told them to “Kick it out.” He then took
all their property.
S. Linwood Ave., unit block, May 18,
2:45 p.m. A boy told police he was riding his
bike in the park when three boys approached
him, and one of them pushed him off his
bicycle, got on, and rode off. The other two
suspects fled as well. The victim went home
and told his father about the incident, and
his father called police.
S. Baylis St., 700 block, May 20, 2:10
p.m. The officer was flagged down by the
victim, who said that he had responded to a
call from one of the suspects, who wanted to
buy five bags of marijuana from him. The
victim met the suspect, who was with two
other suspects, at the pre-arranged location.
The first suspect got into the victim’s
vehicle, pointed a gun at him, and ordered
him out. One of the other suspects took his
cell phone. The first suspect drove off in the
victim’s vehicle.
Claremont Ave., 3900 block, May 21,
2:40 p.m. The victim said that the suspects
entered the store, and one of them threw a
can of soda at him but missed. As the victim
bent down to pick up the soda, to keep it
from being stolen, one of the suspects
assaulted him. The suspect’s information
was obtained and he was arrested at his
home.
E. Baltimore St., 2000 block, May 22,
4:10 p.m. The victim said that the suspect
approached him and demanded his money.
The victim refused, and a verbal argument
ensued. The suspect followed the victim
until the victim pulled out his cell phone and
called police.
S. Chester St., 500 block, May 24,
1:30 a.m. The victim said that he was
walking when the suspects approached. One
of them punched him in the head and took
his cell phone. The suspects then fled.
Bank St., 2000 block, May 24, 10:30
p.m. The victim reported that she had just

bought a pizza and was walking when the
suspects approached, one of whom informed
her that he wanted her phone. He then struck
her in the face with an open hand, causing
swelling. The suspects took her property
and fled.
Burglary
President St., 200 block, May 18, 8:15
a.m. An unknown male busted out a side
window with a brick and gained entry to the
business. He smashed open two cash
registers from the restaurant and market
part of the business. The total amount of
money from both registers was $550. The
video was poor quality, and it was impossible
to make out details with regard to the
suspect’s appearance. The suspect left two
bandages from his hands and possible blood
on the counter.
S. Ponca St., 1300 block, May 18,
10:25 a.m. A male suspect used a rock to
break out the glass to the front door, broke
open five cash registers, and took two hooka
containers of flavored tobacco. Officers
reviewed security footage during the
investigation.
Boston St., 2300 block, May 18, 12
p.m. An unknown suspect broke the west
side window to the business with a piece of
concrete, and then smashed open several
registers and ransacked an office. As the
business is in the process of being sold, it is
unknown what--if any--property was taken.
Attempts to reach the current owner of the
business were unsuccessful. There was no
power and no security system at the location.
S. Ann St., 300 block, May 18, 3 p.m.
The victim said that someone forced open
the side window, gained entry, and disturbed
the inside of the residence. No property was
immediately reported missing.
N. Lakewood Ave., 600 block, May
18, 3 p.m. The victim said that the suspect
forced open the rear door, took property,
and left via the rear door.

N. Linwood Ave., 100 block, May 21, 8
p.m. The victim said that he left the front
window open to get some air in the house
and went to bed. The next morning, he
noticed his keys, laptop and cell phone were
missing, along with his car.
Beckley St., 6400 block, May 22, 12:10
a.m. Officers responded to a silent alarm
and found the suspect inside without
permission. The door was damaged. The
suspect was arrested.
Elliott St., 3000 block, May 23, 9 a.m.
The victim said that when she returned to
the location, she found that somebody
unknown had forced open the rear door,
entered, took property, and left via the rear
door.
Aggravated Assault
E. Fayette St, 1400 block, May 19, 7:15
a.m. The victim was driving east when a
juvenile threw a rock through the window of
his car. The rock shattered the window and
landed in the vehicle. The victim was not
injured; the suspect fled westbound on foot.
Thames St., 1500 block, May 19, 3:32
p.m. The victim, a parking officer, was
writing a citation for a vehicle with expired
parking tags. While she was investigating, a
man in his 40s approached and started
cussing her out. She explained that she had
started the ticket and had to finish it. While
she was taking a closer look at the tag, the
man jumped in the vehicle and pulled off,
almost hitting her. He made a U-turn and
continued to cuss her out.
N. Linwood Ave., 600 block, May 19,
10:14 p.m. Officers found the victim sitting
on the steps, suffering from stab/puncture
wounds--two to his stomach and one to his
back. He offered little information about the
suspect and, highly intoxicated, became
uncooperative. During an area canvass,
officers discovered that the victim had been
involved in a dispute inside a building. The
dispute had spilled onto the 600 block of N.
Linwood, where the cutting took place. The
suspect was no longer at the location.
S. Regester St., 700 block, May 20, 1
p.m. The victim said that she was sleeping,
and was woken up by the suspect punching
her in the face. She was able to get away to
a friend’s house and call police. She
suffered a fractured nose. A warrant was
obtained for the suspect.
Jefferson St., 2300 block, May 21,
12:06 a.m. The victim said that the suspect,
who had just been released from jail,
disrespected him. The suspect picked up a
steak knife and stabbed him in the head and
leg. A warrant was issued.

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

Lierman: Candidate says families bring stability
PHIL
TIRABASSI
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7
incidents that brought multiple police cars to
the club and spurred nearby residents to
collect 137 signatures requesting that La Raza
lose its license to sell alcohol.
“Everyone wants similar things,” says
Lierman. “Safe, clean, green neighborhoods;
everybody wants a good neighborhood school
that they can send their kids to; and everybody
wants to be able to get around between the
neighborhoods.”
Lierman adds that throughout her doorknocking, she has been surprised by the large
number of young families in the 46th District.
“I’m amazed at the number of dogs I see,
and the number of toddlers I see,” she says,
adding that it is crucial to keep families in the
neighborhoods past that decision point when
their children turn 5 and many either “move to
the county” or pay for private school.
“Everybody benefits from families staying
in the city,” Lierman says, “not just families
themselves.”
Early on in the door-knocking session, we
pass Knotty Pine, a classic Southeast corner
bar at the corner of Conkling St. and Fait Ave.
A couple ladies are sitting outside, soaking up
the sun on a Sunday afternoon, and enjoying
Bohs. Lierman introduces herself and puts in
a couple sentences about her platform and
background. “I hope you win,” replies one of
the ladies, “unless you suck.”
“I don’t,” says Lierman with a smile.
As the candidate walks away, one of the
ladies offers a good-natured suggestion:
“Fix the roads; that’d be lovely.”
Soon afterward, Lierman knocks on a door
on Fait Ave. As she knocks, she explains that
this is the third time she has personally been
to this neighborhood; she knocks on the doors
of all likely primary voters who are registered
Democrats.
A man answers the door, and Lierman
introduces herself.
Location…
Location…
Location…
“I’ve seen your posters,” replies the voter. “I
know who you are.” “I’m just letting you
know that I’m real,” Lierman jokes.
They shake hands; she moves on to the next
door.
A woman answers, and Lierman greets her,
introduces herself, and mentions her work
shutting down La Raza as well as her regular
work as a civil rights attorney, representing
workers and people with disabilities.
Lierman knows the neighborhood in which
she’s door-knocking; there are red “Hammen”
signs on many of the houses.
“You probably know Pete?” she asks the
woman.
“Oh yeah,” replies the voter. “I remember
him since he was a little kid.”
Lierman mentions that she is grateful for
Hammen’s support in the election, and
reminds the woman that she has three votes
for the House of Delegates.
“I just need one of those,” she says. “Do you
think I can count on you for that?”
It’s a successful door-knock.
“I think you can,” replies the woman. “Not
a problem.”
