BALTIMORE GUIDE 1WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2015
Liz Copeland, the Deputy Director for the Department of Social Services and a former liquor board commissioner, announced her candidacy for the 1st district City Council position.
Copeland, who is running as a Republican, said she believes that those in charge of Baltimore need to take responsibility for the way the city is run.
“What makes me conservative is that I believe in personal responsibility. The first step, on a personal level, is to accept the consequences of my own actions. And when we look at the consequences of how we ran Baltimore and what devolved from that, we can either turn a blind eye to it or we can realize that we didn’t manage this city correctly and then begin the work to fix it,” she said.
Copeland currently lives in Canton and decided to run for City Council after being unimpressed with Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s response to April’s unrest.

The Friends of Patterson Park is reaching out to the community for feedback on a possible new sculpture in the park.
The statue is a bronze bust of General John Stricker, who is called the “Hero of the Battle of North Point”. The bust is by artist Francesca Schuler Guerin and was commissioned by the German Society of Baltimore.
The bust was displayed at the visitor center at North Point State Park during last year’s Bicentennial celebrations. The sculpture and its base were paid for by the German Society of Baltimore, who would also fund its installation.
There is some funding in place for short-term maintenance, but nothing is in place for the long-term.
Stricker was born in Frederick, Maryland. As Brigadier General and commander of the Third Brigade, he helped secure an American victory in the Battle of North Point during the War of 1812. He did so holding off British troops as they advanced to attack Baltimore City. His success allowed the rest of America’s troops to build their defensive structures around the western slope of Patterson Park, where the British were eventually defeated. Historians agree that if the invading troops
The Baltimore City Liquor Board announced a series of town-hall style meetings as part of a community outreach initiative. The meeting is an effort to get the residents involved in Liquor Board proceedings and gather feedback on new regulations and updated administrative board policies.
The first of the five public meetings will take place in Highlandtown on Wednesday, January 20 at the Southeast Anchor Library at 3601 Eastern Avenue at 7 p.m. This meeting will be the start of a year-long program through the Liquor Board.
“As an active small businessman and resident of the Highlandtown community for my entire life, I know firsthand the importance of listening to the community,” stated Liquor Board Chairman Benjamin Neil. “Since our hearings are held during the day at City Hall, most City residents don’t get an opportunity to engage the Board. Through this initiative, citizens have the opportunity to ask us questions and provide us their input on

The bust would be placed on Pagoda Hill, although the exact location is up for debate.
The other proposed location for the Sticker monument is on Federal Hill.
Community feedback is encouraged. To share your thoughts, e-mail [email protected]. Feedback should be submitted by January 1, 2016.
important liquor-related issues that affect their communities.”
Members of the Liquor Board will also attend various community meetings throughout the city to illicit direct feedback. Leaders of community associations are encouraged to coordinate with the Liquor Board to meet with representatives and set up meetings and plan an agenda.
A full meeting schedule is expected to be announced in mid-January.
“These meetings will provide us opportunities to engage, listen for concerns, and inform residents of the changes being made at the agency,” stated Commissioner Elizabeth Hafey.
In November, the Liquor Board completed a revision of their official rules and regulations, the first rewrite since 1997.
For more information on the upcoming meetings, contact Deputy Executive Secretary Thomas R. Akras, at 410-396-4377.

BALTIMORE GUIDE 3WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2015
Library Square | Photo by Gianna DeCarlo
A large-scale greening and restoration project is underway at Library Square, so if you see some torn-up sidewalks or displaced planters, don’t worry! Library Square is a six-block patch of green space in front of the Patterson Park branch of the Enoch Pratt Library.
Blue Water Baltimore, with support from the Friends of Library Square and Banner Neighborhoods, is working on making Library Square more accessible for the nearby residents as well as more environmentally friendly.
Library Square often ran into problems with flooding due to it being the lowest point in the area. The soil is also so compact that it cannot absorb rain water. The water collects in the area and eventually trickles into the residential areas surrounding the park. This causes the storm drains to become clogged with trash.
“This project will treat polluted runoff that flows into Harris Creek, a buried stream
which has been identified as a city priority and cause of localized flooding in the surrounding neighborhoods. With this project, we are seeking to restore the land, increase community benefits, and improve the conditions of the local environment,” states Blue Water Baltimore.
One of the biggest projects is three rain gardens, which are shallow depressions in the earth where deep-rooted plants are grown. The rain gardens will be placed in high-flood areas so that the plants can suck up the extra water.
Some other improvements include three retention basins that will filter the rain while slowing stormwater runoff. Berms, which are hills or raised areas of dirt, will be installed and decorated with native plants. A plaza in the center of the Square and approximately 6,000 square feet of sidewalk will be constructed with permeable materials.
Two new Americans with Disability Act (ADA) access ramps and a realigned front walkway are also under construction.
The majority of the project is expected to be completed by the end of winter. The final
step, landscaping, is scheduled for the spring of 2016.
These restorations are the final part of the three-year plan to rejuvenate Library Square. In the summer, the park hosted a mobile food truck, as well as other community events, such as a trash can painting for local students. Additions like LED streetlights, a mandala mural by The Baltimore Office of Promotion and Arts, and new benches, have previously spruced up the square. Library Square is between Patterson Park and McElderry Park, so the renovations will benefit two communities by being a family-friendly environment.
Blue Water Baltimore was given $487,000 for the revitalization efforts. The grants were given for the square to test new stormwater management systems in a pilot program that could help improve soggy areas all over the country.
The Friends of Library Square are also working on a project that will repair the facades of building near Library Square and abate rat populations. Along with all this, the Aubudon Center will plant a bird-friendly
habitat garden on the N. Linwood side of the park.
“All is OK during greening construction in Library Square! They have to move some things, but everything will be held safe and restored after their work is done!” wrote Friends of Library Square on their Facebook page.

MTA seeks community feedback on transportation reform
by GIANNA DECARLO [email protected]
In October, Governor Larry Hogan and the Maryland Department of Transportation, announced BaltimoreLink, a $135 million investment in transportation reform for the city.
BaltimoreLink is part of a multi-phase plan to create integrated public transportation networks through high-frequency routes and the creation of transit hubs. Each route is color-coded. For example, the route from Penn-North through Fleet St. is dark blue while the one from Eastern to Patterson Park Aves. is a light green.
“Our new plan will connect Marylanders to 745,000 jobs in and around Baltimore and will give 205,000 more people access to high-frequency transit,” said Governor Hogan during BaltimoreLink’s announcement.
Since then, community comments have been taken for BaltimoreLink’s new bus routes and travel options.
Michael Walk, the Director of Service Development at the MTA, spoke about how feedback will decide how the plan will impact transportation in the Southeast area.
“This plan is our draft. We brought it out and we want to hear from you all, what we missed, what we need to be thinking about, what route doesn’t work. It is so important that you help make the plan better. We can’t make everyone happy, but we will weigh those comments with the data we have,” said Walk.
Walk said there will be an 18 square mile increase of service area under the new plan, as well as a 13% increase in transportation options to major job centers. Additional MTA police officers will be put in place to ensure ride safety and bus cleanings and maintenance will be more frequent.
He said that the possible creation of bus-only lanes, like the ones that currently exist on Pratt and Lombard Sts. along with more accurately timed traffic signals could help abate traffic in the area.
The express lanes will be completed by June of 2016, which will then kick off public hearings for the rest of BaltimoreLink. The entire plan will be launched a year later, in June of 2017.
“It’s a huge undertaking and it will obviously have massive impacts on our riders.”
Walk was then asked how BaltimoreLink will combat overcrowding on buses.
“Under the new plan, we’ll increase the
frequency of service so that the buses will come every 10-15 minutes. That’s part of the way we’re addressing it,” he said.
Another attendant brought up concerns about a bus route on Baltimore St., which doesn’t have public transit, and asked why that street was chosen as opposed to Fayette St.
“We chose Baltimore St. here on the eastside for several reasons. The majority of that is based on spacing,” explained Walk. He said the MTA looks for locations with decent spacing to avoid overlapping routes.
Walk said Baltimore St. provided access to Johns Hopkins Hospital through Orleans St. He described Baltimore St. as a “simple straight-line transit route” since it leads directly to the Metro.
This brought up concerns that residents near Baltimore St. would be “boxed in” by the new bus lines.
“There’s a trade-off. Transit can be seen as one of the things that increases access to opportunity. We want to make a city that can move without being tied down to your car,” said Wall.
Residents with suggestions are encouraged to visit mtamaryland.mysidewalk.com or to contact the BaltimoreLink hotline at 410-454-1998. There will be two more community workshops, one on Wednesday, December 16 at 6 p.m. at the Catonsville Library and the other is on Thursday, December 17 at the White Marsh Library. The comment period is open until Wednesday, December 23.

Every year, Councilman Jim Kraft hosts the Healthy Harbor Poster Contest where students all across the Southeast are encouraged to illustrate their idea of a “healthy harbor”.
The winners (divided into three categories based on age) were chosen and showed off their artistic talents by presenting their ideas of a waterfront utopia.
“The students can draw whatever it means to them to keep the water clean and how a healthy harbor would benefit the citizens, visitors, and cleanliness of Baltimore,” states Kraft.
The work of these students, complete with rainbows and smiling cartoon fish, is to encourage recycling, proper trash disposal, and an interest in making the Bay as clean and healthy as possible.
For example, Olivia Bounds, a 7th grader from St. Casimir School won the 6th-8th grade category with her depiction of a bright blue bay filled with happy fish and crabs while the hardworking Mr. Trash Wheel cleans the surface.
In January, the students will be given their awards by Councilman Kraft in an official ceremony at City Hall. The winners won movie tickets for the Landmark Movie Theatre and their pieces will be displayed at the Southeast Anchor Library through the end of the year.

BALTIMORE GUIDE 9WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2015
Tom Scott was a prolific Baltimore artist whose experimental and creative works spanned over 60 years.
His legacy was displayed and honored at a retrospective exhibit at the Creative Alliance from December 4 through 12, which was curated by students at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
The exhibit titled Tom Scott: Transcriptions in Paint, focused on Scott’s work with grid shapes and aerosol spray paint. Some of his most notable pieces were made with recycled goods, like Venetian blinds or parts from an old oven, with the stenciled gridiron pattern as a cohesive element that linked the diverse pieces to each other.
“His output is remarkable in its quantity and quality, amounting to over 3,000 by his death at age 85 in March 2013. His work has been described as something apart from the mainstream and major movements, yet not at all reactionary or retrogressive--exhibiting a complexity that defies easy categorization,” states a press release from the Creative Alliance.
The viewers were urged to looked “between the lines” and break apart the overall product to see the process and meticulous steps Scott took during the piece’s creation.
“There was often a dialogue between Tom Scott and his work. He would make a mark, and the work would respond in what he often found to be pleasantly surprising ways. While we can no longer watch these conversations unfold, Tom Scott’s work exists as documentation of these conversations, much like the transcript from an interview,” said the exhibit’s description.
If his art is a conversation, then Scott spoke many languages.
Scott worked in layers, using paint strokes to methodically illustrate a story on the canvas through color and weight.
In some pieces, glaring gashes of vibrant red and deep blue grab your attention. In others, stark white stripes seem to jump off the canvas, thin and powerful like piano keys. While some of the prints look quaint and simplistic like the pattern of a picnic blanket, others are busy and bold, like the cybernetic insides of an advanced super-computer.
And in some, the pastel colors blend together into a colorful blur, like the suspension lines of a bridge as you drive over it.
“This is just a small, small sample of his incredible work. There is so much and while this only represents a part of who he is and what he has done, it still shows how innovative he was in demonstrating and creating these cross-sections of color with his grid system,” said Sandra Abbott, the Curator of Collections & Outreach for the Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture at UMBC.
The students of Abbott’s Museum Practice class at UMBC organized and curated the exhibition. She chose Scott for her students since he had decades worth of art, in a variety of mediums with a dearth of themes, that could lend itself to creative curating, as well having a Baltimore connection.
“It’s extremely ambitious to put on an entire exhibition in one semester, especially for students who have never curated a show before. You’ve got to fill all those walls and make it all fit together but they’ve really pulled it off,” said Abbott.
However, her students had help. Scott’s widow, Simone Campbell Scott who

Local artist’spenchant for going off the grid
maintains his collection, contributed pieces to the exhibit. She spoke about her husband and his art at the exhibition’s opening, describing how he would constantly experiment with stacking items and spraying paint over them. The style and shapes he developed were uniquely his.
The Creative Alliance also hosted a Tom Scott-themed art drop-in event last weekend. Attendants were given abstract outlines of grid shapes as a guideline and then encouraged to add their own artistic flair to it.
Scott served as a Dean of Maryland Institute College of Art in the 1970s as well as an instructor at the Pratt Institute in New York and an art consultant to The Center for Urban Education. The works at the art show are primarily from his last ten years of life.
Abbott’s students used Scott’s quirky creativity when designing their exhibit. For example, they placed black grids made of mattress parts and wire fences near the windows of the studio so that the light filtered in mimicked the geometric styling of Scott’s.
When the sun came through, the installation turned the entire space into a life-size piece of graph paper.
“You walk in and see how the light goes through those grids and you get it, you get Tom’s art,” said Abbott.

BIRDS HOUSE by Andy MindzAk
Off-season updates and acquisitions
With Fan Fest now in our rear view mirror, here are a few updates from the Baltimore Orioles offseason.
The O’s have officially re-signed reliever Darren O’Day to a four year deal worth $31 million. That is a lot of money for a reliever, but then again, O’Day isn’t your typical reliever. O’Day has actually lowered his ERA each year he has been with the Orioles (since 2012) and his 2015 was arguably his best year as he posted as a 1.52 ERA (a career best) with a 0.934 WHIP. Also, his 82 strikeouts were a career best, which resulted in a K/9 ratio of 11.3. O’Day also has received nothing but praise from teammates regarding his leadership, which is crucial coming out of the bullpen. Overall it is a great re-signing by the Orioles.
Matt Wieters will be in Baltimore for at least one more year as he became the first player ever to accept a qualifying offer. Wieters accepted a one year deal worth $15.8 million with the plan being to improve on his 2015 season so he can cash in as a free agent after the 2016 season. Wieters has missed parts of the past two seasons due to his Tommy John surgery which has limited him to 101 games combined over the past two seasons. Hopefully for everyone’s sake Wieters lives up to the hype that surrounded him when he was drafted and came up through the minors.
The Orioles also traded for slugger Mark Trumbo in early December in exchange for Steve Clevenger. The O’s received left handed reliever C.J. Riefenhauser in the trade with Seattle. Trumbo has always been a power hitter since his days with the Los Angeles Angels, where he hit 32 HR in 2012 and 34 HR in 2013. The downside to Trumbo is that his defense is mediocre and he strikes out a ton. He also is not a high on-base kind of player, posting a career on base percentage of .300 over six seasons in the Majors. In split time last
year with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Seattle Mariners, Trumbo batted .262 with 22 HR and 64 RBI over 142 games. While the O’s can certainly use a player with better on base skills than Trumbo, the power will certainly play well in Camden Yards. The idea to use Trumbo at first makes sense, but wait a minute….
The Orioles extended an offer to Chris Davis, a seven year deal worth $150 million, however they then pulled it off the table. Vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette stated during Fan Fest that the offer is off the table and that the club is “going down different tracks.” The talk is that Davis and his agent Scott Boras are looking to get a deal similar to what Mark Teixeira received from the Yankees, which is an eight year deal worth $180 million. While the O’s did make an offer, it seems like they are done with Davis, unless this is a ploy to get Boras to get to the table and negotiate. While this certainly isn’t a dead subject, it could be one soon.
Other talks indicate Baltimore is looking to re-sign Steve Pearce and have been mentioned to be in talks with former Pittsburgh slugger Pedro Alvarez, so we will see where those shake out. Either way, the Orioles will need to improve that starting rotation if they want to improve upon their 81-81 record in 2015 with hopes to make the playoffs.

“I felt like I had to do something and then there was this opportunity to help the people and the city,” said Copeland.
She said the government needs major reform and a way for the minority viewpoints to be heard in the primarily Democratic state government. She believes a history of liberal policy-making had made the city corrupt.
“Baltimore City needs a reformation because I think we’ve had people who have only presented replicated and rehashed policies and ideas that just don’t work. Having someone at City Hall that isn’t a part of the ruling political party allows room for some autonomy,” she explained.
Along with government reformation, Copeland said the education system needs to be improved. She believes in holding school districts more accountable for their spending, public funding for homeschooling, and private school vouchers.
“I understand intimately what its like to live paycheck to paycheck. I know what it was like to suffer and be faced with the economic downturn,” said Copeland who was adopted through the Department of Social Services.
She said her experiences as a single teenage
mother living in public housing, which she calls a “unique and challenging experience”, will inspire her politics.
“I share that experience because I am a feminist and I believe that women are powerful and women have the opportunity to bring in such positive change,” she said about what inspired her to get into politics.
She referenced her time at the Housing Department, Liquor Board, and Department of Social Services, which she said gave her a knowledge of law creation and citizen representation.
“I believe in making sure the pothole gets filled.”
Copeland also believes in reduced fees for small businesses and homeowners to encourage economic growth within the city and mandatory community service for non-violent first-time offenders. She said that community policing can reduce crime and that the government’s agencies should work together to produce results and be held accountable.
“My conservatism isn’t rooted in theology. I am pro-choice and pro-marriage equality. I believe in common sense and a pragmatic approach to leading. I hope to offer that as an option to the voters.”
She believes the 1st district will be able to vote a conservative into office, despite being
in a primarily Democratic city. “The 1st district is able to put party
affiliation aside and choose the candidate based on the person, not the party,” said Copeland. “If they’re committed to change, I would challenge them to consider my candidacy. Voting for a person that’s willing to stand up and have an alternative opinion will send a message to the rest of the voters and will send a message to the city that change is needed.”
In September, Copeland wrote a controversial op-ed to the Baltimore Sun titled “Baltimore’s woes have liberal roots”.
“Baltimore needs conservative solutions to its urban problems. Personal and fiscal responsibility are key to our success. And ain’t nothing wrong with old-fashioned hard work and common sense approaches. We can do this. We can be better. But not if we recycle old policies through new actors. Consider the last half-century of liberal policies, is that what you want for our future?” she wrote.
Copeland is the first female candidate to enter the city council race and the second Republican. Counting Copeland, there are seven people currently running. The election will be held in April of 2016.
For more information on Copeland and her platform, visit www.buildingabetterbaltimore.org.
Liz Copeland, a Republican running for City Council for the 1st District, is the current Deputy Director of the Department of Social Services. | Photo courtesy of Liz Copeland for r Baltimore City Council.
