Garden thriving in Canton school parking lotBY ERIK ZYGMONT [email protected]

“Mr. Cornwell, are these weeds?” asked a student, eager to get to work in the school’s new garden.

“No, those are not weeds,” said Richard Cornwell, a teacher at Friendship Academy of Science and Technology, 801 S. Highland St. “Those are a specific kind of native Maryland grass. I can’t remember what kind.”

Summer program students have been working in the FAST Wonder Garden for months now. Established in May, the garden was made possible by a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust and a donation and manual labor by Blue Water Baltimore.

Trees and native plants are now growing where there was once 7,000 square feet of asphalt. MORE PHOTOS ON PAGE 8

The gardeners hope to make a colorful “bottle fence” for the garden, and are seeking help from the community. Clear green or blue plastic bottles, the size of wine or liquor bottles, rinsed and labels removed, may be dropped off at the school office from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or left at the doors when the office is closed. The school is hoping to obtain 1,000 bottles.

Additionally, the school is inviting community members with free time to work in the garden. Two volunteer Saturdays, Aug. 10 and 17, have been scheduled. Meet at 8 a.m. in the garden, located along Fait Ave. behind the school, and work until noon.

More information about the garden is available at fastgarden.weebly.com.

Major gives update on Southeast crime

Of the nine youths that police say attacked a Little Italy restaurant worker on July 21, six have been arrested, and the other three are known, according to Major William Davis, commander of the Southeast Police District.

He said that police are “targeting” the three who have not yet been arrested, and that it may take witness identification to arrest them.

Davis said that though just one of the six who have been arrested is an adult, the other five juveniles will be charged as adults.

Davis gave the update at Monday night’s Police Community Relations Council meeting.

He added that the police believe that the group of nine is responsible for 17 robberies in the Southeast District. The youths have been charged in nine robberies, he said.

The Pie Man could soon have his own TV show on the Food Network.

This Sunday, at 9 p.m., on the finale of “Food Network Star,” viewers will see if Rodney Henry, founder of Canton’s Dangerously Delicious Pies, has what it takes to host his own food show.

Henry, who is also frontman for local rock’n’roll legends the Glenmont Popes, faces off against Southern belle Damaris Phillips and the mohawked intensity of Russell Jackson.

Henry once told the Guide, “I’m all about pie. I always have been and always will be.”

The singular focus has paid off for the affable Henry. What started off as a side gig during his days as a touring musician has grown into

a successful, niche business, with three locations. In addition to Baltimore, Dangerously Delicious Pies has shops in Washington, D.C., and Detroit.

While Henry has been critized on “Food Network Star” for his dogged attachment to pie, viewers have consistently rated him among the most popular contestants.

Although his genuine enthusiasm makes for fast, slurred speech that is sometimes difficult to understand in the context of a television show, even the other contestants have praised Henry’s charisma and apparent comfort in his own skin.

The time for voting is over, but don’t be surprised if Charm City adds another quirky celebrity to the list.

Have a drink as Eddie Vedder or Melissa Joan Hart

Will Rodney Henry be Baltimore’s big star?

“There’ll be a lot of overalls with one strap down, I’m guessing,” said Jody Costa, describing a charity event set for this weekend.

The I Love the 90s! Bar Crawl is this Saturday, Aug. 10, 1-8 p.m. Dressed in their best 90s attire, 30-somethings and possibly other age groups will make their way through the Fell’s Point bars, including the Horse You Came In On Saloon, Alexander’s Tavern, Dogwatch, Slainte, Kooper’s Tavern, Woody’s Rum Bar, the Waterfront Hotel and the Cat’s Eye Pub.

Tickets are $20, and earn various specials at the bars as well as chances to win $25 gift cards to the Horse You Came In On. See event details and buy tickets at Eventbrite: 90sbarcrawl.efbevent.eventbrite.com. Also visit Stay Classy Canton, stayclassycanton.com, or look up the event on Facebook for more information.

One hundred percent of ticket proceeds go to the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults, an organization that provides support, education and resources to young adults fighting cancer. For Jody Costa and her sister, Leanne, the organizers of the 90s bar crawl, it’s a cause that hits close to home. Their friend, Mia, passed away last August at 31.

Jody and Leanne were looking for a way to make a difference, and the Ulman Cancer Fund was looking for help.

“It just happened that they were organizing

a board of young adult advisers,” says Jody.So the sisters joined up, and made the

commitment to fulfill the organization’s request that they each raise $1,000 over the next year.

“We said, ‘Let’s plan an event instead of just going out and asking for money,’” Jody says, and so the I Love the 90s! Bar Crawl was born.

“We have a couple of reasons we picked the 90s,” she adds, noting that she graduated from high school in 1998. “We were kids, but not little kids.”

Amid 80s- and sometimes 70s-themed events, the 90s are usually left out, Costa adds.

Ironically, the 90s seem to be coming back in style today, and Costa suggests that anyone having trouble finding a costume can just visit the current Forever 21 store or website.

“It’s crazy,” she says. “We’re talking Nirvana t-shirts, high-waisted shorts, combat boots.”

Costa notes that the Horse You Came In On donated $25 gift certificates and wristbands, and that Baltimore Beach (the beach volleyball league) and Stay Classy Canton have put their support behind the event as well. Costa’s employer, Barcoding Inc., headquartered on Boston St., has also jumped on board, providing the evenings giveaways—slap-on beer coozies and temporary tattoos.

Crime: "It seems like we can't stay off the news in the Southeast District"

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 2013 BALTIMORE GUIDE 3NEWS

Overall in the district, robberies, commonly known as muggings, are up five percent over this point last year, Davis said.

Davis said that the five-percent figure represents an actual number of about 13 incidents. He added that one-and-a-half months ago, robberies were up 25 percent over last year.

The Major also gave an update on last month’s Greektown murder of Ramon Rodriguez. Police have arrested the prime suspect, Capone Chase, but Davis said that “there was at least one other person who was there.” Police are currently seeking that person’s identity.

The Southeast District Police Community Relations Council does not normally meet in August, but President Joyce Adamski said that the recent crime events made the meeting necessary.

“It seems like we can’t stay off the news in the Southeast District,” commented Davis, referring to television spots on the Little Italy attack and the spate of Canton burglaries earlier in the summer.

Davis noted that although one juvenile suspect in the Canton burglaries has been arrested, police do not currently have sufficient evidence to build a case against

the other two they believe were involved. The first, who posted a picture of himself to a burglary victim’s Facebook page using the victim’s phone, remains in custody, the Major said.

He added that burglaries in Canton that fit the patterns attributed to the three individuals have ceased.

Davis stressed that citizens who get “that sixth sense” that a stranger in the neighborhood is up to no good should call 911, especially if the person or people are knocking on doors or appear to be checking things out.

He also encouraged citizens to call to report juveniles violating curfew. During summer vacation, curfew is midnight, seven days a week, for children 16 and under. During the school year, the curfew is in effect from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. during school days, and through the night starting at 11 p.m. Sun.-Thurs. The school-year curfew applies to youths 15 and under.

Davis also recommended that iPhone owners download the “Find My iPhone” app. Phones are one of the most common items taken in street robberies, Davis said, and the app can help officers find a stolen phone—and the perpetrators—almost immediately.

into custody who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, then that officer must stay with that person until they sober up.

Masopust noted that many of the “vagrants” that occupy the S. Broadway corridor aren’t actually homeless, but are addicted to drugs, alcohol or both.

Business associationDavid Garza, an economic development

officer with the Baltimore Development Corporation, recommended that businesses in Upper Fell’s Point organize.

“We could get Upper Fell’s Point to the level where they could apply to be a ‘Main Street,’” he said, referring to the federal economic development program that “brings special attention and additional resources” to a business area.

Highlandtown has a Main Street program, as does Fell’s Point. Fell’s Point Main Street recently spearheaded the extension of the Waterfront Partnership into Fell’s Point to address trash and issues with vagrants.

Garza noted that securing the “Main Street” status is a very competitive process.

Broadway corridor meeting offered some proposed solutions, too

NEWS

Though the July 29 meeting about the S. Broadway corridor did highlight what is wrong with the area, there were some suggestions for improvement.

The Guide received several comments on last week’s story, “Broadway corridor residents and business owners are Fed Up,” referring to the story’s focus on the negatives. This follow-up coavers the suggestions for improvement that were proposed at the meeting.Drunk tank

Joanne Masopust, president of the Fell’s Point Community Organization, suggested bringing a “drunk tank” to the area. Having a place to put and treat people until they sober up, Masopust argued, would free up police officers.

Currently, an intoxicated or injured person may not be accepted in the police booking system until he or she sobers up or is treated for any injuries. If an officer takes someone

Median adoptionStacey Harrison of the city’s Department

of Transportation noted that one crew is responsible for mowing all medians in the city. Rather than relying on the city to maintain the S. Broadway median, nearby businesses and residents could “adopt” the median.

“We can work with communities to come up with MOUs,” she said.

FIrst District Councilman Jim Kraft noted that the “Bayview Community triangle” at the intersection of Eastern and Dundalk avenues is an example of this arrangement. The Bayview Business Association adopted and beautified the triangle in 2010, and continue to maintain it.

“They did all of that; the city of Baltimore did not do that,” Kraft said. More categories for 311 app

Resident Phyllis Fung praised the city’s app for making 311 complaints on smart phones. However, she said, the app could use some more categories, such as public urination and vagrancy. Benches and signs

If people do not have a place to lie down, maybe they won’t loiter so much. To that end, Kraft’s office has arranged for the removal of the park benches from the S. Broadway median. They will be transferred to spots in Patterson Park and the Canton Waterfront Park.

Kristyn Oldendorf of Kraft’s office said that the benches would likely be moved this week.

Kraft also addressed the lack of signage on the median at the meeting. Offenders, he said, will often argue that they didn’t know whatever they were doing in the Broadway corridor is illegal. Posting the rules in English and Spanish, he said, would take away that argument. The Recreation and Parks Department has been charged with putting up the signs.

Additionally, there are now signs on the S. Broadway trashcans that alert residents and businesses that the trashcans are for street litter only, not for household or business waste. Putting a trash bag from your home into a street trashcan is an offense that carries a $500 fine, and the new signs on the trashcans say so.

More committees and meetingsKraft agreed to help organize three

committees charged with addressing three of the corridor’s major issues: economic development, crime/vagrancy, and beautification/sanitation. Kraft’s office is looking for volunteers to sit on and lead these committees. Call 410-396-4821 for more information.

A follow-up meeting on the Broadway corridor has been tentatively scheduled for Monday, Oct. 28, 7-9 p.m., at the Polish Home Club, 510-512 S. Broadway.

Outstanding civilian earns top honorsby ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected]

At 92, Roman Kaminski is getting recog-nized for doing what needed to be done.

At a ceremony organized by Fire Commissioner Charles Bollack, a commemorative display honoring Kaminski was blessed and unveiled last Friday.

Located at the fire station that bears his name, the Roman A. Kaminski Fire Station at Eastern and Collington avenues, the display features mementos from Kaminski’s long history of volunteering for the Baltimore City Fire Department.

“I’ve been friends with Roman for 40 years,” said Bollack. “This generation has no clue who he is.”

According to Bollack, Kaminski made two job applications simultaneously in the 1940s, to the Fire Department and to Western Electric.

“Western Electric came in first,” said Bollack, and though Kaminski was offered a job as a firefighter, he chose to remain with the electric company.

Through the years, however, Kaminski remained dedicated to the Fire Department. He was an early member of the Box 414 Association, a volunteer group that responds to two-alarm and higher fires with drinks and food for firefighters. Today, the organization has two canteen units and a school bus—the “potty wagon”—that has been converted to house bathrooms for men and women. Box 414 has about 80 members, 10 of whom are active members, according to Joe Freund, the vice president.

Kaminski’s other contributions include chairing the Fire Prevention Committee for a few decades, and starting the Firefighter of the Year award at the Exchange Club of

Highlandtown/Canton, of which he is a member. At the annual Firefighter of the Year dinners, Kaminski would bring 40 to 45 guests and pay for them all, said Bollack. The event continues to this day and now includes a Police Officer of the Year award as well.

Kaminski was also a very active member of the International Fire Buff Associates, serving as executive vice president. The Fire Buffs are men and women—non-firefighters—who love firefighting and spend their free time helping fire departments as volunteers.

“This is something that is his whole life,” said Bollack of his friend’s dedication to serving the Fire Department as a civilian.

Acting Fire Chief Jeffrey Segal said that it is important to recognize community members like Kaminski.

“With Mr. Kaminski, a lot of the things he did over the years have really contributed to the Fire Department today,” said Segal. “I want to make sure that we as an organization make a commitment to show our appreciation for people like that.”

Retired firefighter Delmar Davis, who in 1952 was one of the first black firefighters in Baltimore City, expressed heartfelt appreciation to Kaminski.

“I want to say, Roman, you were always a good friend, and I will always be your friend,” said Davis. “May you enjoy the balance of your life.”

“Thank you,” replied Kaminski, who had just arrived with his wife, Karen.

Former City Councilman Nick D’Adamo said that naming the station for Kaminski back in 2006 was a “no-brainer.”

“You always gave from the heart,” he told Kaminski. “We thank you for that.”

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 2013 BALTIMORE GUIDE 9FEATURE

Maybe it’s an opportune time to host a storytelling workshop with a focus on race relations.

Communities for All Ages, a partnership between the Southeast Community Development Corporation, the Creative Alliance, and Banner Neighborhoods, has done just that, with a free, day-long, family-friendly, bilingual workshop, “Neighborhood Voices: Our Stories About Race Where We Live,” scheduled for Aug. 10 at the Creative Alliance at the Patterson.

Agatha So, a community outreach coordinator with the Southeast CDC says the event was born out of a desire to kick off conversations about race.

“There are a lot of stories about race and identity in our neighborhoods, but they are really hidden sometimes,” So says.

So and Maria Aldana, outreach coordinator at the Creative Alliance and lead producer of the workshop, came up with the idea for the event when they attended a similar workshop at the University of Maryland School of Social Work several months ago.

Attendees will be paired up and will tell each other “stories” that are the product of story prompts such as, for example, “Tell me about a time when, you felt powerful.”

The stories will be about three minutes long, and in between each prompt will be a debriefing, where the storytellers discuss their stories.

The workshop will be led by a professional facilitator.

Blessing Omopariola, 17, who lives in East Baltimore and attends Friendship Academy of Science and

Storytelling workshop will explore race in our neighborhoodsTechnology, is taking part in the storytelling project. She was involved with “My Second Story,” a video-projection story telling project put on by CFAA earlier this year.

“I think storytelling will bring the neighborhoods together to help solve problems,” says Omopariola, who is especially worried about killing in the city.

“That’s all you hear about in the news,” she says.

Steve Preston, who is vice president of the east sector of the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association, will also be attending.

“It’s important to hear each others’ stories directly. It could open up a dialogue,” says Preston, who moved to the Patterson Park area from Cross Keys, in North Baltimore, about a year ago.

Preston loves living in Patterson Park because it is so racially and ethnically diverse.

He acknowledges that the summer has been rough, crime-wise, throughout the city, but particularly in East Baltimore.

“The crimes make me sick. I’ve felt like a bit of a referee on Facebook lately, but to say that east Baltimore is experiencing racial anxiety is overblown,” he says.

On Facebook, a lot of recent crimes and the races of their perpetrators are discussed boldly, and

sometimes with vitriol, on various neighbors’ (not necessarily neighborhood associations’) Facebook groups.

“I’ve lived all over the world and I’ve never seen more groups intermingling so well,” says Preston, on a hopeful note. “I think that other areas could learn a lot from the great experiment that is going on in the Patterson Park community.”

National Polish group honorsSenator Mikulski in Fell’s Pointby ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected]

As part of their annual convention, this year held in Baltimore, the American Council for Polish Culture honored Senator Barbara Mikulski for her contributions to everything Polish.

“Senator Barbara Mikulski began her career in Baltimore as a social worker, and ever since has tried to make a difference in her community,” said ACPC President Debbie Majka, noting that Mikulski was the first Democratic woman Senator elected “in her own right,” and is the longest-serving woman Senator in history.

“I have to stand on my little stool,” joked Mikulski, who is shorter than five feet, as she took the podium, “but I’ll

stand up for the Polish community every chance I get.”

The luncheon and awards ceremony was held at Holy Rosary Church, a S. Chester St. Catholic church that still offers Mass in the Polish language.

“It’s here that groups have kept our history and culture alive,” Mikulski said. “Holy Rosary has been our church home and community home for so long.”

She noted the church’s history, starting with its founding in 1887 and through occasions such as its solidarity with the Polish people as their country fell under martial law, and Cardinal Karol Wojtyla’s visit in 1976.

“There was the future pope of the Roman Catholic Church, here at Holy Rosary,” said Mikulski.

Presented by

Colt ConnellyOwner/Manager

nspiringWordsI A Simple

MatterMany of us have firsthand knowledge of hearing parents say that when their

“time comes,” they want a “simple” funeral and burial. This honest declaration is usually made by humble people with an interest in leaving life much in the same way that they lived it. As admirable as these simple requests may be, surviving family members may have a difficult time abiding by them. In the aftermath of the death of a loved one, they may ask exactly what “simple” meant in the mind of the deceased. Others may not be able to override their own wishes to have the funeral meet their own preconceived standards. Whatever the case, making specific arrangements beforehand helps define wishes and avoid misunderstanding.Many people not wanting to burden their families with difficult decisions during

an already difficult time, opt to pre-plan their funerals. Planning ahead puts you in control by allowing you to make informed choices regarding your funeral and cemetery arrangements. For more information, please call CONNELLY FUNERAL HOME. Our staff has learned to go beyond the expectations of he families that we serve. It means being available at all times; before, during, and after the funeral.

“When the game is over, the king and the pawn go into the same box.”–Italian Proverb

She said that the church, with its bilingual English-and-Polish school, was a major “bridge to citizenship” for Polish immigrants.

Mikulski was also recognized for her own efforts to add Poland to the U.S.’s visa-waiver program.

“What would’ve happened if [Marie Curie] had needed a visa to enter the United States?” said Majka.

Mikulski noted that 3,000 members of the Polish military had served alongside Americans in recent conflicts, with 50 dying in Afghanistan alone.

Polish soldiers who wanted to visit

their war buddies, Mikulski said, “had to get a visa like they were from a country that was an enemy of the USA.”

“There is no country that is a greater ally to the United States of America than Poland,” she added.

Mikulski recognized the ACPC as well as other Polish-American groups. She noted that in addition to the ACPC, the National Katyn Memorial Foundation and the Polish Heritage Association of Maryland had pulled the luncheon together.

“Everyone comes from a different place, and everyone goes to a different place,” noted Victoria Leshinskie, president of the Polish Heritage Association. “The Polish are known for hard work and kindness.”

Majka said that the ACPC’s missionis to “promote Polish culture and keepit alive.”

The group gives scholarships, and also attends an annual national conference of social studies teachers to promote teaching the correct Polish history.

“There is a lot of false information out there,” Majka said.

It's here that groups have kept our history and

culture alive.

On July 25th I became a father. All of my friends and family had given me all kinds of advice, but nothing can prepare you for how you will feel when you see your baby for the first time. Becoming a father is certainly something I have been looking forward to, but also something I am terrified of at the same time. Will I be a good enough father for her? Will I give her everything she needs to be successful in this world? Will I be a good role model for her?

The last question made me think to when I was younger and the people I looked up to. I certainly looked up to my parents and sister, who to this day, continue to be the best role models possible. I have always been a big baseball fan, so naturally I would look up to players such as Don Mattingly, Cal Ripken Jr., Jim Abbott, Mike Mussina, Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, Paul Molitor

and Jim Eisenreich, just to name a few. All of those players succeeded in baseball, but also did so with class. Even Baltimore Orioles fans have to tip their cap to Mattingly, Rivera, and Jeter for the way they conduct themselves on and off the field.

When I was growing up, though, it was a different time than today. The media wasn’t everywhere and these athletes or celebrities weren’t as accessible as they are now. Mattingly didn’t post pictures of himself at a nightclub with a bunch of cute girls on Twitter, and Ripken certainly didn’t tweet about how he was living the high life, sipping on champagne at some strip club.

But that’s what it seems like we hear about all the time nowadays. Johnny Manziel tweets pictures of himself at a casino or getting booted from a football camp for drinking too much, and it seems to be all the

media covers. And how much longer does ESPN need to cover the Aaron Hernandez case? Did they really have a truck parked in the street waiting to catch a glimpse of the former New England Patriot? Really?

The good news is that, while the media seems to focus more on the negative, there are plenty of role models out there. Luckily for us, there are plenty of role models over at Camden Yards.

Matt Wieters has established himself as one of the league’s best catchers. The former fifth overall pick from the 2007 draft has already been named to two All Star teams and has won two Gold Gloves in his young career. What you might not know is that Wieters is heavily involved with the community and various charities off the field. Wieters helps out at BARCS, the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter, which takes in homeless and unwanted animals in Baltimore City. He also supports the Soft Side Campaign, an anti-animal abuse campaign. Wieters also supports the military and the Orioles Military Program, which offers a variety of benefits for the men and women who serve our country.If that wasn’t enough, Wieters also supports OriolesREACH, which invites disadvan-taged children to experience the magic of Orioles baseball.

Wieters isn’t the only Oriole deeply involved with helping the community and being a good role model. Chris Davis also helps out where he can. Besides crushing the ball for Baltimore on the field, Davis is involved with OriolesREACH as well as Luke’s Wings, a nonprofit military organization dedicated to the support of current and former service members who have been wounded in battle. Davis is also involved with the Christian Youth Athletics program, and back in May, Davis visited a local high school to help teach kids about the dangers of texting and driving.

Adam Jones is another one. We might know him as the three-time All Star center fielder for Baltimore who also has three Gold Gloves under his belt and finished sixth in the 2012 MVP voting. What you might now know about him is that he is very heavily involved with the Boys & Girls Club, the YMCA of Maryland, as well as the OriolesREACH program. Jones also spends a lot of time with the Jackie Robinson Foundation, which provides comprehensive scholarships and support to minority students enrolled at institutions of higher education. As if he had any other free time, Jones also works with Reviving Baseball in the Inner City, a Major League Baseball initiative whose mission is to increase urban

and inner city youth interest and participation in baseball and softball.

What’s amazing to me is that the Orioles have so many players on their roster doing good things that you might not hear about on the news. Another example of a great role model is Nick Markakis, the Gold Glove right fielder for the O’s. Like Jones, Markakis is also involved with the Boys & Girls Club and OriolesREACH program, and like Wieters, he also is involved with the Orioles Military Program. Markakis also helps out with Casey Cares, an uplifting program with a special focus on critically ill children and their families. He spends time with Baltimore City Schools and also the Right Side Foundation, a charity he and his wife started to help improve the lives of distressed children throughout the state of Maryland. Sounds like a role model to me.

The list continues. Brian Roberts is another player who spends a lot of his time helping out the community. Roberts has been with the Orioles since being drafted by them in the first round of the 1999 draft and has helped out on and off the field. The two-time All Star volunteers quite a bit at the University of Maryland Children’s Hospital, a place he holds dear to his heart. When he was five years old, Roberts had open heart surgery to repair an atrial septil defect, so he understands what these children go through. Roberts also works with the Helping Up Mission which provides hope to the poor and homeless in Baltimore.

Pitchers Brian Matusz and Jim Johnson also chip in with the community as well. Matusz helps out Markakis with Casey Cares, and he also spends time with the Orioles Military Program as well as OriolesREACH.

When he’s not leading the league in saves, Johnson helps out with the Orioles Military Program as well as the Challenger League of Maryland, a little league which enables boys and girls with physical and mental challenges to enjoy the game of baseball. JJ also works with the Miracle League of Manasota, an organization dedicated to providing an opportunity for all children to play baseball regardless of their ability.

Nate McLouth also helps out in the community by participating with BARCS, the Soft Side Campaign, and OriolesREACH. Like Markakis, pitcher Jason Hammel helps out with Baltimore City Schools as well as OriolesREACH. Darren O’Day works with Luke’s Wings and also the Orioles Military Program. Tommy Hunter, Chris Tillman, and Jake Arrieta all work with the Orioles Military Program and OriolesREACH as well. Outfielder Chris Dickerson founded

Players for the Planet along with Jack Cassel to help educate all involved in youth, amateur, and professional sports on how best to adopt environmental practices that will preserve the playing fields and stadiums where we all enjoy playing and watching sports.

When he is not leading the Orioles on the field, manager Buck Showalter also spends time with the Soft Side Campaign as well as KidsPeace, which is a private charity dedicated to serving the behavioral and mental health needs of children, preadolescents, and teens. Even the wivesof the Orioles help out with the Maryland Food Bank.

So to all of us parents out there, there is hope! Obviously we hope we can be the best role models for our children, but the facts are that they will also look to other places for guidance, and the Orioles can be a proud franchise knowing that not only do they have several great ballplayers on their club, but they also—most importantly—have a lot of good men on their team. They make it easier for this proud father to sleep at night.

*Not vaild for Third Party Coverage

MOST INSURANCES ACCEPTED

Blue Water Baltimore has petitioned a federal judge to get involved in a 2002 lawsuit that the federal and state government brought against the city.

Initiated by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Maryland Department of the Environment, the lawsuit was resolved with a consent decree that Baltimore would repair its failing sewer system by 2016.

“The media recently reported that the

City is attempting to renegotiate its 2016 deadline,” wrote Halle Van der Gaag, Blue Water’s executive director in a statement, “and so we are seeking to intervene in the case and give citizens a voice in the revision process and to formally request that all parties do more to stop sewer spills and protect public health.”

Department of Public Works spokesman Jeffrey Raymond declined to comment on Blue Water’s action or the deadline for repairing the sewer system. DPW released

14 BALTIMORE GUIDE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 2013 NEWS

the following statement:“The Baltimore City Department of

Public Works is committed to fulfilling its obligations under the 2002 Consent Decree. We have met every requirement and deadline under this process. A revision of the Consent Decree is not yet before the court, and we consider the intervention referenced [on July 31] to be premature.”

Tina Meyers, who as Baltimore Harbor Waterkeeper is a representative of Blue Water, clarified that if granted participation in the lawsuit, the organization would not necessarily focus on the deadline, which could be pushed out to “2019 and beyond,” according to press release from Blue Water.

“Currently, the city and the EPA are only discussing deadlines,” she said, adding that addressing public health issues and sewage spills are Blue Water’s priorities.

“We don’t really have an opinion on the deadline extension at this point,” she said. “We just more want to make sure that some of these issues get addressed.”

According to literature disseminated by Blue Water, the city reported that more than 7 million gallons of raw sewage discharged into Baltimore’s streams and harbor between 2010 and 2012. Blue Water says that number is low, and purports that the city does not include sewage spills from stormwater outfalls or two sewage overflow systems in its reporting.

Blue Water wants in on EPA sewer lawsuit against Baltimore CityBlue Water has also identified six

“citizen priorities” that it says should be included in the consent decree. One of those is better signage and public information regarding sewage leaks, spills and overflows. In one area of Falls Road near the Baltimore Streetcar Museum, Meyers said, there have been puddles of raw sewage that joggers “are literally running through, because they think it’s just stormwater.”

At Stony Run, she added, there is a stormwater overflow system that gets contaminated with sewage, and it is a popular place for dogs to swim.

One of the hotspots, Meyers said, is the stormwater outfall in Canton, where Linwood Ave. meets the harbor.

“That’s actually a huge contaminated stormwater outfall,” she said.

Meyers said that Blue Water Baltimore should be involved in the lawsuit because the organization has “a lot of on-the-ground experience.”

“We want to make sure that what they’re doing on paper matches up with what [the city is] doing in the neighborhoods,” she said.

Meyers said that her organization represents citizen interests.

“We are responding constantly to reports from citizens,” she said. “Consistently what we hear are requests for signage and notification of sewage spills.”
