li each
h year.
If you haven’t noticed recently, our Board of Directors
expanded from 7 to 9 members - join me in welcoming
Jen Nelson and Mellisa Colimore. In line with the
commitment we made to you on December 20th, this
neighborhood association is now more inclusive and
representative than ever. The expansion of our Board is
not without purpose however. Six months ago, FHNA
developed a 55-day plan to address critical board
functions and activities pressing to the organization.
Today, we continue the progress as we formulate a
new 6-month execution plan, with even bigger and
better ideas…
With regard to the Grand Prix (a.k.a. RaceOnBaltimore)
this year, there are a few things you should know. First,
no changes will be made to the course. Pedestrian
signage will be more prevalent and a Bud Light Zone
will not be located in the old McCormick site. In
addition to more scheduled crossing gate openings,
a new and better grandstand company will build the
stands this year. Course prep will begin in early August
and FHNA will receive a Community Mitigation Fund
disbursement as it did last year. For more information
on street closures and access points, please visit
www.raceonbaltimore.com. As we get closer to
the race, we will keep you informed by electronic
communications.
The dog days of summer
are the perfect time to
dream and plan for your
new home.

Business Survey Results
By Eric Costello
A few weeks back FHNA, in cooperation with the
Federal Hill Business Association (FHBA) and
Federal Hill Main Street (FHMS), conducted a
peninsula-wide survey on resident’s shopping habits
and desires for new businesses in the neighborhood.
We had a great turnout, with a whopping 542 unique
responses to the survey.
Of the total responses, 43% were from Federal Hill,
16% from Federal Hill South, 13% from Riverside,
12% from South Baltimore, and the remainder from
throughout the peninsula. We asked some basic
questions such as: how often do you shop in the
neighborhood, what types of businesses would you
like to see in the neighborhood, and what shopping do
you leave the neighborhood for.
Of the respondents, 18% shop in the neighborhood
daily, 52% shop between 2 -3 times per week,
22% shop once per week, and the remainder shop
approximately 1 – 2 times per month.
Here is a list of the top new businesses that our
neighbors would like to see in our neighborhood and
the number of respondents per category:
1- Bakery – 317
2- Clothing Adult – 244
3- Grocery Store – 209
4- Restaurant – 191
5- Gifts / Stationary – 143
6- Toy Store – 137
7- Big Box Retail (i.e. Target, Wal Mart, etc.) – 117
8- Clothing Children – 107
9- Sporting Goods – 101
10- TIE – Florist – 98
10- TIE – Shoe Store – 98
12- Beer / Wine Store – 63
13- Bar / Lounge – 37
14- Salon Barber Shop – 20
15- Night Club – 17
16- Laundromat - 15
We received approximately 150 write-in responses
to this question and approximately 460 unique
responses to the question of: “What do you leave
the neighborhood to shop for”. For the data obsessed
such as myself, the full results of the survey will
be available for your viewing pleasure at www.
FederalHillBaltimore.org.

Meet Jon Paul “JP” Mathieu, Block Captain of E. Wheeling Street and
Harden Court
by Kelly Sheehan
JP is from Traverse City, Michigan. He and his wife, Kelly,
What do you envision for Wheeling St./Harden Ct.? I
moved from Michigan to Gaithersburg, MD in 2000 and then
want a clean street and more participation from renters and
to their current home on E. Wheeling St. in 2004. JP is a
owners alike with the day to day stuff. I want people to take
more ownership and pride in their properties, the outside
paralegal for a large insurance company in Timonium. His
wife Kelly is studying to become a nurse at Johns Hopkins
is an extension of your home. Kids play in the street and
University. They have a 3 1/2 year old daughter, Madeline,
I want them to have a nice clean street to play on. When
and love living in Federal Hill. Officially crowned block
the street looks nice, it is a benefit for everyone. One project
JP would like to work on is getting historic street lights for
captain in January 2012, JP has been a tremendous asset to
Wheeling St. since he moved here and is a perfect fit for the
Wheeling and Harden, in hopes of providing more light, make
role of block captain.
it aesthetically pleasing, and be a crime deterrent.
What do you like about being block captain? I like to
organize things, and be a resource for people. Especially if
someone new moves in, I like being helpful to them. My
favorite part is bringing people together, getting people
involved.
If you live on E. Wheeling or Harden Ct. and haven’t met JP
yet, please feel free to contact him at ewheelingbc@gmail.
com. If you live elsewhere in Federal Hill and don’t know
your block captain, go to www.federalhillbaltimore.org, click
committees tab, then click block captains and there you will
see a complete contact list.
“I love our street, we have the best location. I can walk to
both stadiums, go to the movies, eat at great restaurants, go to
events like the 4th of July parade. We have the best neighbors,
any night can be an impromptu Stoop night. Although I have
a great patio and deck, I spend more time in the front of our
house where all the action is, we have a really good group
of people who live here.” Several years ago, JP, Kelly and
other neighbors started knocking on doors to get people to
come out for Stoop nights. “We just wanted people to come
out, have fun and get to know one another.” In addition to
Stoop nights, they have clean ups, parties on Harden Ct.,
yard sales, go out to eat, enjoy neighborhood festivities, and
attend sporting events together. Several of the neighbors
used to play basketball and now get together for tennis. JP
is a passionate sports fan; Michigan Wolverines, Ravens
and a split with the Orioles and Tigers. He loves to take his
daughter to the Orioles games. Other activities he enjoys are
sailing, golfing and spending time with his family.
When the weather is nice, children, parents, dogs and
neighbors gather on Harden Ct. in the evenings after work
to get in some playtime before dinner. Living in the city
provides a built in social life.

Sounds of Federal Hill
Federal Hill-area residents in the middle
of the night sometime, especially in the
summer when all the windows are open.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a freight train
whistle screams in long bursts or staccato
blasts as it approaches a street crossing
or enters the long tunnel that lets out a
couple miles north in Mount Royal.
Broken sleep, frayed nerves and barking
dogs notwithstanding, such occurrences
have been part and parcel of this part of
town for almost two centuries. After all,
it was in the 1830s that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad was one of the first
to usher in the whole railroad industry –
which was as revolutionary back then as
the Internet is now.
For whatever comfort it may bring, it’s
kind of interesting to reflect on some
of the unique sounds that we take for
granted but which a newcomer would
marvel at.
By John Ginovsky
Here are just some examples I happened
to come up with:
* The crash of freight cars at all hours,
when their engines either start up or stop
at the yards in Locust Point, where, for
generations, manufactured goods have
been loaded on to trains bound for the
country’s interior and grain and other
commodities have been brought by trains
to be loaded onto ships heading around
the world.
* The constant roar of I-95 traffic – but
only since the 1980s.
* The noon and 4 p.m. pop of the cannon
on the harbor’s 1700s-era Constellation.
* Harbor ships moving out – One long
blast signifying under weigh, and three
short blasts meaning engines backing,
required by the maritime rules of the
road for generations of steamships.
* Erratic whistle pipes from tugs guiding
ships into and out of the Inner Harbor,
responding to orders from ship pilots.
* The clang of a brass bell, followed by
the No. 2 fire engine’s siren, from the
1920s-era station at Montgomery and
Light.
* Occasional loudspeakers from Rash
Field for races, professional volleyball
matches, etc., harkening back to the
early 1980s’ festivals that brought life to
the Inner Harbor.
* Afternoon and evening crowd
rumblings from the Ravens and Orioles
stadiums.
* The distinctive hum of the occasional
blimp circling the stadiums. In 1993,
three blimps circled Oriole Park at
Camden Yards at the same time during
that year’s All Star game.
* Sudden tire rumblings as cars go onto
the 100 block of Montgomery Street,
hitting the 1800s-era cobblestones,
which were uncovered by residents in
the early 1980s.

* Shouts of “Wrong way!” from stoopsitting residents to errant drivers on
one-way streets.
* The clip clop of horses from Baltimore
City Police mounted officers.
* The clip clop of ponies and the rattle
of A-rab wagons, with accompanying
shouts of fruits and vegetables for
sale—regrettably becoming more and
more rare.
* Firework explosions, not only
on July 4th and New Year’s Eve,
but on at least three or four other
times during the year for reasons not
generally announced ahead of time
but appreciated nonetheless, including
Defenders Day.
And once in a while – maybe after the
freight train whistle wakes you up and
you’re lying still in your bed, and the
mists and the cold and the stillness
of the wind are exactly perfect – the
very, very faint sounds of fog horns
coming all the way in from miles out

FHNA Board Member Profiles
Ryan Hada, President, is a Faculty
Member and Consultant who has lived
in Federal Hill since 2007. He had a
brother who had purchased a home in
Canton and who spoke so glowingly
of Federal Hill that he was instantly
sold, almost sight unseen.
When asked what he likes most about
living here he says, “Federal Hill is
a family-oriented walking neighborhood. Close proximity to retail and
dining is very important to me. Federal Hill is also unique. Each neighborhood has it renowned qualities, but
noting can measure up to our charm
and beauty within a five-minute walk
to the Inner Harbor.”
His dislikes are, “Lack of adequate
parking, high property taxes, and irresponsible nightlife within a residential community. Everyone likes to go
out now and then, but noise pollution,
public intoxication, theft, and vandalism is a growing concern.”
His thoughts on FHNA going forward:
“The organization will continue to
evolve and develop. The right people
are in the right places and progress will
continue. Volunteers will continue to
play a significant role in the progress
we make cooperatively, through increased communication and accountability to all.”
Eric Costello, Vice President, is a Senior Analyst with the Federal Government.
He has lived 5 years in the area, the
first half in Otterbein and most recently in Federal Hill, presently on Harden
Court.
When asked what he likes most about
the neighborhood, he cites the diversity of the neighborhood and Baltimore,
saying it reminds him of many neighborhoods in NYC. He also is impressed
by the friendliness of his neighbors.
His main dislike is parking.
His thoughts on FHNA going forward?
“Federal Hill is full of intelligent and
skilled folks, and if we continue to
make FHNA as inclusive as possible,
we can utilize their talents to help
make the neighborhood a better place
for each of us.”
Gayle McClure, Treasurer is a grandmother and Program Manager for a
Federal Government Contractor.
She lives on East Henrietta street and
has been in the neighborhood for 6
years and previously resided here for
4 years in the '80s. When Gayle and
her husband became empty nesters
and came back to the Baltimore area
they wanted to live in the city. Federal
Hill was really the only neighborhood
they considered. They both work primarily in the DC area so Federal Hill
is convenient to the highways and to
the train.
What Gayle likes most about living
here are her great neighbors!!!!
What she likes least: The trash.
Gayle’s thoughts on FHNA going forward: “I think we have a great, diverse
board this year. The interim board did
a great job getting us back on track. I
look forward to working on projects
and events that will bring back that
feeling of community that has been
missing and I am really looking forward to seeing all the great things the
winners of the Community Impact
Funds are going to be doing over the
summer.”
Bob Merbler, Secretary, is a long
time neighborhood resident. His profile will appear next month.

Tuesday, August 21st, 7 pm, Christ Lutheran Church
Mellisa Colimore, Board Member
at Large, is the newest member of the
Board. Her profile will appear next
month.

August 2012 - Page 11
His thoughts on FHNA going forward:
“The new board has brought tremendous enthusiasm and a number of fresh
ideas into the organization which I
think will continue. I also love working
on the Hillsider each month.”
Ginny Gerhart, Board Member at
Large is a freelance writer and editor.
She lives on: Grindall St. and has been
a Federal Hill resident for 24 years.
Originally, she came to the neighborhood to join her future spouse.
Ginny particularly likes being able to
walk to good restaurants and coffee
shops, to bars, the market, the pharmacy, and bookstores. She likes having a
park and the harbor close by as well
as the close proximity to downtown,
Fells Point, and Harbor East. Ginny
also cites living in an urban neighborhood that’s safe and the friendliness of
her neighbors.
She lists her dislikes: “That some
streets are dirty and litter-filled. That
some sidewalks and home exteriors are
poorly maintained. The loss of harbor
views to the east and the proliferation
of bad architecture. The proliferation
of bars catering to kids whose main
objective is getting drunk. The decline
of Cross St. Market and the lack of a
good bakery.”
Ginny’s thoughts on FHNA going forward: “Years ago I lived in a beautiful
historic neighborhood in Columbus,
Ohio, called German Village. Through
neighborhood fundraising, the German
Village Society has raised hundreds
of thousands of dollars to landscape
and/or maintain its park, city streets
and sidewalks, and street lamps. Residents have a high level of neighborhood pride: flowers grow everywhere
in window boxes and pots, streets and
sidewalks are weed- and trash-free,
and houses and trims are kept repaired
and painted. I’d like to see FHNA help
make Federal Hill shine with the same
civic pride. The result would be an increase in our quality of life and in our
property values.”
Jennifer (Jen) Nelson, board Member at Large is the Senior Director,
Interactive Services at PressBox. She
has lived on E. Montgomery Street
since November 2005, after she visited a friend and fell in love with the
neighborhood.
Jen particularly likes the historic
charm, neighborhood feel and walkability of Federal hill.
When asked what she likes least, she
says, “Can you repeat the question?”
Her thoughts on FHNA going forward: “As a new board member, I'm
looking forward to getting to know
more of my neighbors and to helping
increase FHNA's reach.”
Jody Martin, Board Member at
Large, is the Executive Director of the
Charm City Youth Lacrosse League. He
lives on West Churchill St. and has lived
in Federal Hill since January, 2000.
Jody located here due to his interest in
experiencing downtown urban living.
He particularly likes the proximity to
Federal Hill businesses and restaurants,
and to downtown, the harbor, the stadiums, and other neighborhoods like
Locust Point, Harbor East, Fells Point
and Canton.
His main dislike is the trash.
Bob O’Donoghue, Board Member
At Large, is retired from the banking
business and has lived in Federal Hill
for over 25 years.
After growing up in D.C. and later
relocating to San Francisco, a job
offer brought him back east to Baltimore. The Inner Harbor seemed like
the closest thing to San Francisco he
could find as well as being within
walking distance to his new job.
He likes the convenience of living
here, the ability to walk to everything
and the quality of his neighbors.
He doesn’t like searching for a parking space, the high taxes and insurance rates.
Jody’s thoughts on FHNA going forward? “With the collaborative support
of every Federal Hill resident, restaurant and business, FHNA is uniquely
positioned to enhance the Federal Hill
experience for everyone who works
and lives in our neighborhood.”

The Hill Street News by Jane Wehrle
We enter August with neighbors’ tales
of adventure. The intrepid
d Lamberto
Camacho has just returned from a trip to
Africa, and by the time you’re reading this
he’ll be heading there again. His latest
jaunt to this exciting continent took him to
South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia,
and Zimbabwe. He is involved in exciting
ventures related to renewable energy, a
passion he says naturally led him to these
travels and continual expansion of his
expertise and involvement in that field. I
was curious to know what places in Africa
have particularly impressed him and also
what misconceptions many Americans
have about Africa. He especially enjoys
Swakopmund in Namibia, a beach town
made somewhat famous by Brad Pitt and
Angelina Jolie. It and the nearby national
park provide an opportunity to celebritywatch and nature-watch in the same locale,
with sharks, baby seals, and sand dunes
competing with movie stars for attention.
As for facts that might surprise, he says
that friends always caution for him to “be
careful” when he takes his Africa trips. He
is careful, of course, but wants all to know
that remarkable things are happening there.
In many regions there is more economic
growth and activity than in many parts of
The United States, and the large cities that
he visits look more prosperous and modern
than many in our nation. Bullet trains, hightech airports, modern buildings and complex
office centers abound. In ten years, “Africa
will have a larger active workforce than any
area in the world.” And because of
the timing of their development,
many regions are “skipping certain
infrastructure milestones entirely.”
For example, everyone has a cell
phone, but the land-line stage never
happened. A similar situation exists
with regard to energy. Huge regions
are “skipping the traditional grid
and going straight to solar and other
renewable forms of power.” He has
promised to update us as his travels
continue.
A little closer to home, some
other explorers had camping
adventures. Kim, Jack, and Danny
Manchester spent the first part of
July at Cherrystone Campground
in Cape Charles,Virginia. They
spent mornings paddle boating and
kayaking and afternoons playing
miniature golf and lazing around
one of three pools on the grounds.
Of course, there was a lot of “nature”
to take in, and Kim says they saw a
wolf and an owl, but that “the guys
didn’t seem too impressed.” What
was their favorite part of camping?
Why the big day trip to Busch
Gardens, of course! That morning
they went to the huge Water
Country water park. The word used
to describe it was “awesome.” That
afternoon and evening they rode the
five “ginormous roller coasters.”
Apparently, The Griffon by far was
the scariest - a 205ft drop. Kim:
“What the heck were we thinking ?
Oh yeh. The boys just kept getting
right back in line to go on over &
over again !” She also says she was
thrilled to get home to a real shower and
bathtub.
Everyone in Federal Hill loves Larksong.
Even if you don’t instantly recognize the
name, you know the wonder and merriment
that they add to our winter holiday season
as carolers at Federal Hill Main Street’s
very popular Moonlight Madness event
held the second Friday night in December
every year. The group wanders throughout
the business district singing wonderful
carols and other seasonal tunes, and they
delight the crowds and shoppers with their
gorgeous authentic costumes. The group
members are frequent visitors in our area
throughout the year and are honorary
Federal Hill-ites, and alto Martha
Connolly is often spotted at the Kalman
Brunner residence on Light Street being
Nana to granddaughter Nora. Well,
Larksong has had some unusual recent
adventures too and have some coming
up soon. They sing in the summertime
too, you see, and this summer has been a
doozie. The challenge: how to sing outside
as they do each year at The Chesapeake
Shakespeare performances, be entertaining
and professionally musical, and survive in
over 100 degree heat in those costumes.
Well, they did it. And the report is that
on one evening in particular, they began
their gig when the thermometer reading at
7:30 PM was 102 degrees. By the end of
their songs, it had dropped to a mild 98.
Coming up, they are thrilled to report that
they will be performing at The New York
Renaissance Festival in August. Our hats
are off to you, intrepid singers!
Lots of people enjoyed themselves at
the July 12th gathering at The Stalking
Horse on E Cross Street for the debut

party for AARF, Animal Allies Rescue
Foundation. We are blessed to have so
many kindhearted people in our area
who rescue and care for animals. While
you may know many of these people in
their rescue capacities, a lot of them
are involved in other adventurous
activities too. One such person is friend
of animals and of the neighborhood
Kelley Locklear Jacobs. Another of
her persona is that of talented musician.
While you might think of her primarily
in a rock genre sense, her artistry
stands atop both Native American and
Hawaiian influences, and she actively
seeks out further connections with these
soulful parts of her inheritance and their
beautiful places in her gift. You’ll have
a chance to hear her perform soon at
The Brass Monkey Saloon on Eastern
Avenue on August 11th.
Another outstanding local volunteer
has been spending some time out to our
west. Walt Saxon...aka: Uncle Walt...
has been visiting his Western Maryland
getaway near Emmitsburg in Frederick
County as much as possible. He bought a
four bedroom A-frame home there three
years ago, and visits it at least two times
each week during the season. Federal
Hill, of course, owes him great thanks
for his work with beautification efforts.
But his outside activities at his retreat
also include mingling with the wildlife.
He says he has no lawn to cut, and he
was anxious to relate the wonders of
the wild turkeys that inhabit the area.
They have apparently developed a great
passion for raspberries and will venture
very close to him as they pick the
succulent fruit right off the bushes as he
looks on for extended periods of time.

It seems they have developed a mutual
rapport and have no fear of him at all.

Rotary Ramblings by Al Freihofer
The prospect of the installation of a rotary
intersection at the juncture of Light Street
and Key Highway, the virtual gateway to
our community, is being greeted with
curiosity by many of us, as well it should
be. Traffic experts are convinced that
a rotary at that location will facilitate a
safer flow of traffic at higher volumes
while eliminating the need for a light in
the city-wide grid; for a traffic engineer,
this is a vehicular management trifecta.
A winner!
Perhaps it is wise to anticipate Life in
the Rotary by considering a few Rotary
Rules? I’m making them up as I go much as you will discover the need for
instantaneous improvisation while in the
rotary - so let’s have at it, OK?
Rule #1: Don’t hesitate. Come on, get
your nose in there! Do it! The guy behind
you is going ballistic and like my football
coach used to say, “The difference
between Champ and Chump is “U”!
Situational awareness is key here, of
course; as you approach the rotary, look
upstream a bit…sense the flow…find a
seam…think “Ray Rice behind Vonta Leach”…
go Zen…breathe….exhale…breathe…justt be
the rotary. Be Ray.
Rule #2: Don’t rush. Whoa! Hey, you’re in!
Savor the moment; you’ve earned it! Ready for
a relevant life lesson? When driving in Paris
some time ago, it would often take me three or
four full circuits of the rotary to get properly
positioned for my exit. Once I recognized
that these alignment laps were inevitable and
unavoidable, it changed everything: I calmed
down, I could laugh at the lunatic in the Renault,
and I could take as many laps as I needed to
allow Lady Luck to open a line to my exit, as she
always did. So why not take a lap or two on your
own home ground before bailing out? Check out
the Harbor, admire the Science Center, absorb
the expansive view up Light Street…oh, look at
the little puppy!
Rule #3: Round ‘em up! Pedestrians, I mean.
No one has explained how hapless pedestrians
will flee past our rotary for the simple reason
that the pedestrians and rotaries are, well…the
word “incompatible” comes to mind. Pedestrians
cross at lights or stop signs where vehicles have
halted, yet the whole idea of a rotary is to keep
it goin’, sustain the flow,
w follow Vonta! So
let’s agree right now, just among us, that on
that inevitable occasion when one of us gets
a pedestrian hung up in the center, get on the
phone, put out the call, ring 21230, circle the
wagons, and let’s see how long we can keep
that lil’ doggie in the pen! Oh, what fun we
have ahead if we all work together.
Rule #4: No Drifting (…from 7AM to 7PM.
After that, c’mon, hammer it!) Crimminey,
let’s get real here: the city is delivering a skid
pad right to our neighborhood’s doorstep! A
rotary by day, a skid pad by night…if you’ve
been to the Skip Barber Racing School or
an equivalent, you know what I’m saying.
Driving while looking straight ahead out the
passenger window of your vehicle may sound
counter-intuitive, but with practice and pluck
and enough revs and grip, you’ll soon get the
hang of it. Then when those lightweights in
Otterbein get their own rotary someday, we
can call ‘em out and swap paint on Saturday
nights. Think “West Side Story becomes
Southside Baltimore,” OK?
(Note: Al is leaving Federal Hill - we
appreciate his many contributions and wish
him well).

signs of fungal disease.
To preserve our valued street trees, the
first step in the process is to keep the tree
pit clean and free of debris. We should
not add brick or timber borders that can
restrict natural irrigation from rainfall.
Supplemental plantings are discouraged
because they take away from the moisture
and nutrients the tree roots require. A
shallow mulch bed can provide insulation
for the root bed of our street trees in hot
weather and in cold weather. The mulch
should not rise up and cover any of the
tree bark.
Deep root watering is what our street
trees require so that they maintain or
exceed their seven year average life
expectancy. Ten gallons every ten days
is a good recipe for tree health. This can
be accomplished by attaching a “gatorbag” and filling it every week or so. An
alternate measure might be to extend a
