If you’re child has written a letter to Santa and you’re not sure where to send it, you’re in luck. The Baltimore Guide is acquainted with the Jolly Old Elf, and we have his address. Although we protect our sources and don’t share contact information, we would be happy to forward any child’s correspondance to the North Pole.

Police spokesman Lieut. Eric Kowalczyk said that early Monday morning at 1:44 a.m., officers outside of Voltage NightClub, 5625 O’Donnell St., heard what sounded like gunfire inside the club, and then observed a large crowd exiting the building. “They went and found the victim exiting the club with a gunshot wound to the back,” said Kowalczyk, adding that the victim is in stable condition. At Monday evening’s Police Community Relations meeting at the Southeastern District, Major William Davis said that the incident was the third involving gun violence in the last two months. He said that while the other two incidents happened in or near the parking lot, Monday’s incident was “inside, right on the dance floor.“ “We’re going to be working on what we can do to close the club, because it has certainly been a source of violence in our community,” Davis said. “Lieut. Colburn has compiled a book, that thick,” Davis added, indicating about two inches between his thumb and index finger, “ of what we consider liquor violations.” Some of those violations, the major added, have been incidents in which drinks were served to minors. An event on the club’s website Tuesday was listed as “18 to Dance, 21 to Drink.” Our Opinion and Yours Who wants the Red Line? To the Editor: Did I miss something? I went to a meeting of a group called the “Citizen’s Advisory Council” on the Red Line on Thursday, Nov. 14, at 7:00 pm., at 417 E. Fayette St. I was hoping to hear something relevant to my concerns which involve the ridiculously wrong-headed Boston St. debacle that is being ramrodded through my beautiful, stable neighborhood of Canton—one of the few city neighborhoods where you still see intact family units and (believe it or not) children. Instead, this meeting was run by two impeccably groomed and tailored gentlemen who apparently are charged with designing and packaging specific contracts to be sent out to bid. They want to make sure that this enormous bundle of taxpayer money is divvied up among the “right people.” Quite obviously, they, themselves are being very amply compensated from the bundle for their part in this. The rules that this “Council” created specify that “questions must be related to the presentation. Comments of a general nature, expressions of support or opposition to the project, or questions that are unrelated to the presentation are not permitted.” Oddly enough, the presentations I’ve attended have never addressed the main issue of who in East Baltimore really wants this thing? Granted, I’ve only been to two of these forums (the one on Fayette Street and the one at the Du Burns Arena), but community input regarding citizen approval of the Red Line does not seem to have been addressed. Can someone please enlighten me as to whether or not that particular topic has ever been discussed? This Red Line crowd is going full-steam ahead. Taxpayer money (a lot of it) is being spent way beyond the rate which we citizens earn it. Shouldn’t the taxpayers be asked if they want this thing? Cathy Thornton, Canton Touched by the kindness of Latinos To the Editor: As I was leaving Sacred Heart of Jesus Church on Saturday night, a young Hispanic offered to help me. I have been a visibly handicapped man for 10 years, and I notice the Hispanic people are more likely to lend such a hand. As we count our blessings this Thanksgiving, we may with to think about this.

FAST: Bus arrivals problematic, says principal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Later the month, the New and Charter School Advisory Board of Baltimore City Schools advised that FAST’s operator contract be renewed for three more years, and the school be relocated after that. Sargent and his administration team attended the meeting following an escalation in tension between FAST students—most of whom come from outside the neighborhood— and nearby residents. In October, FAST students assaulted a staff member from another school, Patterson Park Public Charter School, in a mid-day incident in Patterson Park. Residents living nearby the school have complained about graffiti, property destruction, and general disrespect from FAST students At last week’s meeting, Sargent said that the two students arrested after the Patterson Park incident will likely not return to FAST. He said that he was attending the meeting to update the community on what the school was doing to improve its 650 students’ behavior outside of the school. “Tonight what I’m bringing to the table is solutions,” Sargent said. “Supervision is key.” To that end, he said that administrators are now monitoring students as they walk to bus stops. Administrators, he said, supervise students as they walk along Baylis St. up to Foster Ave., as well as along Conkling St. as far as Eastern Ave. Students are also supervised at the intersection of East Ave. and O’Donnell St., he said. A Guide staff member has witnessed Sargent himself at Foster Ave. and Conkling St. as students left school to catch buses. Sargent noted that with a school dismissal time of 2:40 p.m., 3 p.m. and 3:15 bus arrivals, as well as late and no-show buses, present a problem. “Any child with idle time—in 30 minutes, anything can happen,” he said. In November, Sargent wrote a letter to the Maryland Transportation Authority, stating that “the bus arrival time has been mainly inconsistent since the first day of school and on some days there were no buses at all.” Furthermore, he wrote, the number 13 bus that actually stops at FAST for students living near Walbrook Junction does not actually go to Walbrook Junction, and so those students either walk to O’Donnell St. and East Ave. to catch a different number 13 bus or make a transfer and end up home late. In a response to Sargent, Veronica McBeth of the MTA stated that, with regard to the number 13 issue, “any time the MTA extends an Operator’s run by over 10 minutes, we’re violating our agreement with Local 1300, and the affected Operator has the right to bumpout of the run, which may in turn result in a bump down.” She added that, assuming management approves a change to service, “the earliest we may be able to extend this service as suggested will be during the next schedule change.” Inside the school, Sargent said, a swipecard attendance verification system will be adopted to combat truancy. It’s not a really conducive building for a high school setting. He added that the school is offering academic and recreational activities such as a robotics team and “circle times” on Mondays and Fridays, “just to check in, check out and build better relationships with our students.” Sargent also opened the floor to questions from residents. One resident noted that a group of 10 or so students is often seen outside the school at 1:45 p.m. Sargent noted that seniors have a special dismissal time of 1:45 p.m. Residents, he said, can ascertain the age of students by the color shirts they are wearing. Students in grades 6-9 wear blue shirts; freshman and sophomores wear gray shirts; juniors wear yellow; seniors wear white. Asked if he likes the current location of FAST and wants to stay there, Sargent did not reply in the affirmative. “It’s not a really conducive building for a high school setting,” he said. “There’s no football field and no track.” The strongest community criticism of FAST came from Roland Moskal, who lives on the 3400 block of Fait Ave., a stone’s throw from the school. “It’s absolute chaos,” said Moskal, a former Baltimore public school teacher, adding that he has seen a female student nearly undress herself. During a fire drill, Moskal said, students came and sat on his stoop with cafeteria trays of food, which they left when the drill ended. Sargent responded that “there are always two sides to every story,” and that the school’s goal is “helping the students self-correct themselves.” “We’re not always there to command and direct them; that doesn’t work,” he said. BALTIMORE GUIDE 5 WEDNESDAY, december 4, 2013 Officer honored for devotion to Fell’s Point area Officer Larry Fasano—who, with his bicycle, is a fixture around Fell’s Point—was named the “Officer of the Month” at Monday evening’s Southeastern District Police Community Relations Council meeting. “You talk about the employees who are there for you every single day,” said Major William Davis, “he’s also the guy who if you’re committing crimes out in his area, you don’t want him out there.” “We wanted to recognize him, at least for one month, for all he’s done,” the major added. “I love the area I’m in,” said Fasano. “I give it 100 percent.” Fasano came to the Southeastern District in 1998, from the Northwestern District. Back then, he said, Davis was his sargent. “We had a great time,” said Fasano. “He was a go-getter back Officer Larry Fasano, a familiar face in Fell’s then, and he’s still a go-getter.” Davis noted that all the Fell’s Point business owner’s know the Point. name “Larry Fasano.” | This page: Both photos and stories by Erik Zygmont “If you ask any of the drunks, they’ll probably give you a different expletive,” Fasano said. Young explains criticisms of study, touts foot patrols City Council President Jack Young, who spoke at the Southeastern District Police Community Relations Council meeting on Monday evening, explained his recent comments regarding a consultant’s $285,000 strategic plan for the Baltimore Police Department. Young has publicly criticized the plan, which he voted to fund. “I don’t question the commissioner’s using $285,000 that I voted for,” Young said. “I voted for it because I thought we would get something different.” He made the remarks within the context that the City Council is currently reviewing the city’s budget. “I thought the $285,000 went to waste,” he said. The report was conducted by Strategic Policy Partnership, led by Robert Wasserman, City Council President Jack Young addresses the Police Community Relations Council. and the Bratton Group, led by William Bratton, who is a former chief of the LAPD as well as commissioner of the Boston Police Department and New York City Police Department. In a statement released last month, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said that the strategic plan “provides us with a thoughtful set of recommendations for how to more effectively move forward and meet the current challenges we face in the fight against crime.” The plan, “Public Safety in the City of Baltimore: A Strategic Plan for Improvement,” is available at baltimorepolice.org. Young went on to say that though he holds no personal animosity toward Commissioner Anthony Batts, he would have preferred to “promote from within.” Before coming to Baltimore, Batts was police chief in Long Beach, Ca., and Oakland, Ca. After leaving the Oakland Police Department in November 2011, he worked as CEO of the A. William White Group, a police consulting firm. Young also thanked the residents in attendance at the meeting “for being the eyes and ears of the Police Department” and reporting crime. “I want you to be cognizant of the fact that the police need you,” he said. Young said that he was criticizing the leadership of the Police Department, not the officers. “Let’s give our officers some praise where it’s deserved,” he said. He added that he is pushing for more foot patrol, and to “bring Officer Friendly back.” “They learn who the good guys are and who the bad guys are,” Young said. “I want Officer Friendly back so our kids can see Officer Friendly again, because right now they see ‘them against us,’ and it shouldn’t be like that.” December 6, 7 and 8 Buy any 750ml bottle of table or dessert wine at regular price, of the same wine for Sale items excluded.

The festivities kick off on Friday Dec. 7, at the corner of Conkling St. and Eastern Ave., with a performance by Sac Au Lait at 5 p.m. The Highlandtown holiday tree will be lit at 6 p.m., and the “Merry Mixer”—an evening of Christmas shopping with adult beverages in the Highlandtown Main Street area—begins at 7 p.m. A family movie will also be shown at the Southeast Anchor Library at 7 p.m. On Saturday, Dec. 7, there are three holiday craft shows. Baltimore Threadquarters, 518 S. Conkling St., will hold a trunk show from noon-5 p.m. From 10 a.m.-6 p.m., a new venue at 3402 Gough St. will hold a Holiday Market Party with high-end arts and crafts. The Laughing Pint, 3531 Gough St., is holding an evening trunk show from 5-9 p.m. More information on Highlandtown festivities is available at southeastcdc.org.

BALTIMORE GUIDE 11 WEDNESDAY, december 4, 2013 Ambitious gallery plans to start with holiday market this weekend by ERIK ZYGMONT [email protected] Highlandtown’s status as an arts district seems to grow more apparent all the time. The lastest evidence is Tom and Julie Yensho’s new building at 3402 Gough St. “This will be a gallery,” said Yensho on Monday, spreading her arms in the 6,000square-foot, two-story building that once housed a Plymouth car dealership and, after that, an Italian club. “I have not decided on a name yet.” But she does have a clear picture of the gallery. “I want it to be for the young, up-andcoming artists who are out there looking for a place to display their work,” she said, adding that she is not seeking high commissions. “And we have the space—and the venue—to have openings.” Yensho is an artist herself who specializes in floor cloths—or painted rugs—as well as ceramics and more traditional painting. She said that she and her husband, who is a woodworker, did not necessarily have a lifelong dream of opening a gallery. The couple simply saw an opportunity in the for-sale property while out walking their two Dachsunds. They live nearby, on Bouldin St. “I felt like I had a responsibility, with this building, to give back to the community,” Yensho said. While the gallery won’t fully open for about 6 months, she and Lisa Dietrich are hosting a Holiday Market Party this Saturday, Dec. 7, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., in the space. In addition to the works of over 25 artists and crafters, the market will feature food, drink, music and fire pits on the back deck as well. It’s a fund-raiser for the Highlandtown Arts District, a destination for a good time, and a place to buy presents, Yensho said. And she added that the market—and later the gallery—will include high quality crafts as well as what is traditionally considered art. “I want it to attract crafters, because I think they get a bad rap,” Yensho said. Saturday’s Holiday Market Party will include high-end holiday wreaths from Full Circle wreaths, Yensho said. A traditional basket weaver, Kathleen Beauchesne, will be in attendance as well. Lucy Pealer will offer handmade birdhouses, and metal turner Sean O’Harra will have mirror-polished brass bowls and other goods. Also included are painter Giuseppe Luciani, metal sculptor Renee Tantillo, and many more artists and high-end crafters. “It’s going to be awesome,” said Yensho. After the Holiday Market Party, Yensho and her husband will continue to prepare the gallery for opening. The building also includes two upstairs apartment units, a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom, which Yensho said will house artists-in-residence. Tom Yensho will have a wood-turning workshop in the space, and Julie Yensho will also have her studio in what was once a serious kitchen. A former pastry chef, she said she was disappointed that the lodge owners had sold off the stainless steel tables and 16 burners. “I was really bummed,” she said. The building also has a bar from its days as an Italian lodge. Yensho has decorated it with vintage beer signs and liquor bottles from her husband’s family farm in Ohio. Tom Yensho made his way to Baltimore 30 years ago with his brother. They were wooden toy makers. Julie Yensho sees the growing list of galleries in Highlandtown as an asset. “I think that we are becoming a corridor,” she said, adding that the accessible nature of hers and other nearby galleries—the Highlandtown Gallery and Threadquarters, for example—could make the place a prime destination for decorators seeking, well, decorations, in the form of high-quality arts and crafts. “It’s attainable,” Yensho added. “It’s where people can go and find art that they can afford.” A commitment to the community since 1873 www.bayvanguard.com 3 4 .736 15 Year fixed rate Mortgage % APR* • Purchase or refinances • Maximum Loan-to-value 80% • NO Points • Monthly payment per $10,000 = $72.10*** .568 30 Year fixed rate Mortgage % APR** • Purchase or refinances • Maximum Loan-to-value 80% • NO Points • Monthly payment per $10,000 = $50.67*** Contact Jeff Collier at 410-477-5000 x 23 Call for details on loans up to 95% 7114 North Point Road Phone: 410-477-5000 www.bayvanguard.com Julie Yensho will welcome holiday shoppers, arts patrons and merry-makers to her new gallery at 3402 Gough St. this weekend. | Photo by Erik Zygmont 921 East Fort Ave., Suite 102 Baltimore, Maryland 21230 Phone: 410-547-1088 or 410-752-7655 * Annual percentage rate is based on 3.625 % rate.

O’Donnell Square’s Lamp Post Lighting Ceremony is no exception. “It’s the sixth year we’ve done this,” says Torbin Green of Smalltimore Events. “It gets bigger every year.” The idea is simple. Businesses in the O’Donnell Square area adopt lamp posts to decorate for the season. On Tuesday, Dec. 10, the posts are lit, and residents, businesses and the community at large choose the most impressive entry. “It’s bragging rights, and it’s always a big deal,” says Green. Last year, the bar Americana was the winner, and though the pub is no longer in existence, Green says that their entry remains a standard to which to aspire. This year’s event runs from 5-9 p.m. and includes a 6 p.m. visit by Santa Claus himself, plus other children’s surprises. Attendees may vote on their favorite lamps while having free hot chocolate and coffee, courtesy of Firehouse Coffee Company. Also available are adult holiday beverages such as champagne, Irish coffee, eggnog and hot cider. The Adeline Singers will be caroling to enhance the mood, and Tim Konig and Baltimore Photo Social Booth will perform the National Anthem. According to Green, this year’s celebration will be extra special thanks to live music from Lotus Song & The Black Light Asylum, a blues, soul and funk quartet. “They performed at a festival I did in Reservoir Hill, and they killed,” says Green. “It was amazing.” The Lamp Post Lighting includes a raffle in which the first prize winner gets a $50 gift certificate every month for a year. Second place gets the same package for 6 months; third prize is a spa package from Insignia. Proceeds benefit the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation, a local charity that provides hospital and respite housing services to critically ill children and their families. “I have a feeling this year is going to be really big,” says Green.

Like many of Baltimore’s professional athletes, Ihedigbo is also interested in philanthropy. His chosen cause is Africa, from which his parents emigrated. Igedigbo’s HOPE Africa Foundation provides scholarships for students of African descent to attend elite American universities. According to HOPE Africa’s website, hopeafricausa.org, those students participate in service projects and community engagement endeavors while in the U.S. Then, armed with university educations and a cultivated desire to spread their success to those around them, they have the tools to return to their home countries and create “new and sustainable resources in the areas of education, health, medicine, human services, community structure, business or the environment.” Next Monday, Dec. 10, Ihedigbo is hosting a fund-raiser, a “Celebrity Cruise and Charity Night” at the Inner Harbor. The cruise boards from 7-8 p.m. at Spirit Cruises, 561 Light St. Ticket proceeds--$75 in advance, $100 dayof—go to HOPE Africa.

Local celebs and other prominent local figures will also be in attendance. For more information and tickets, visit hopeafricausa.org. In the meantime, Ihedigbo has answered a few questions from the Guide about the cruise, the foundation and football: What made you choose a casino cruise for this fund-raiser? I wanted to do something fun and interactive for the fans and supporters. I did a “Dinner with the Ravens” fund-raiser last year at a restaurant venue and it was completely sold out at capacity, that we couldn’t let more people in as people were showing up to buy tickets at the door--so this year, we wanted to make sure we created a more interactive and social environment with a Baltimore flair and of course much more space. When my team and I thought of doing a cruise and casino event, the first thing that came to mind was Spirit Cruises of Baltimore, and of course, they were on board 100 percent, so we CONTINUED TO PAGE 27 BALTIMORE GUIDE 15 BREAKFAST WITH SANTA Saturday, December 14 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. in Applebee’s Join Santa for a delicious breakfast and loads of FUN!

MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO SLEEP™ BALTIMORE GUIDE 17 WEDNESDAY, december 4, 2013 BIRDS HOUSE by Andy Mindzak Moose belongs in the Hall of Fame - Put him there! The 2014 Major League Baseball Hall of Fame ballot was recently made public, and if you saw it, you particularly noticed one player: Paul Lo Duca. Ok, so I’m just kidding; nobody is going to notice a catcher who had a few decent years and finished his career with barely over 1,000 hits. If you did see that ballot, though, then you should have noticed the name of one Michael Cole Mussina. I would like—nay, love—to go on the record and say Moose should be a first ballot Hall of Famer. (If you’re a diehard Orioles fan, you’re probably good with my opening paragraph and will agree that he should be in the HOF. If not, however, please keep reading. Actually, even if you take me at my word, you might want to keep reading.) Mike Mussina finished his brilliant 18-year career with a record of 270-153 to go along with his ERA of 3.68 and WHIP of 1.192. He once led the league in wins with 19 back in 1995 and reached 20 wins in 2008, his last season in the majors. His four shutouts in 1995 were a league best that year. Perhaps his best season came in 1991, when he went 18-5 with a 2.54 ERA. Moose was named to five All Star teams and won seven Gold Gloves. During the 1999 season Moose finished second in the AL Cy Young award voting (behind Pedro Martinez) after going 18-7 with a 3.50 ERA. During his 18-year career, Moose spent 10 with the Orioles and his final eight with the New York Yankees. Mussina was also consistent in the playoffs, although his record might not show it. Moose went 7-8 with a 3.42 ERA in 16 playoff series, with 1997 being his best showing. That season, Mussina went 2-0 against the Seattle Mariners in the ALDS, as he gave up only three earned runs in 14 innings pitched (1.93 ERA). Then, in the ALCS where Baltimore lost to Cleveland, Mussina did not get a decision in either of his starts despite allowing only one run in 15 innings as the O’s fell in six games. His numbers are pretty darn awesome, especially when you factor in the era in which he played. Other first-time names on this ballot include Greg Maddux (should be a no-brainer) and Tom Glavine. (Glavine will most likely get in, but I would put Moose ahead of him. Three hundred wins are overrated!) Those guys will most likely get in on the first ballot, but there is one name on the ballot that will be on for his final year and he already has 67.7% of the necessary 75% votes: Jack Morris. Morris will certainly get some sympathy votes because it is his last year on the ballot, but if you look at his numbers, if Mussina finishes anything below 67.7%, that would be a crime. Personally, I feel Morris is an ‘on-the-fence’ Hall of Famer. Morris had a career record of 254-186 with a 3.90 ERA. Ok, so that’s not a good start for ol’ Jack, especially when you see his WHIP was 1.296—also worse than Moose’s. Morris was also named to five All Star squads and led the league in wins twice, once in 1981 with 14 wins, and in 1992 with 21. Ok, so he has Moose beat there, but during his 18-year career, not once did he keep his ERA under 3. Moose only did that for one full season, but when you consider the time they played, Moose played in a much more hitter-friendly period. The biggest selling point for Morris is his playoffs performance. I will give him credit—he was amazing to watch in game seven of the 1991 World Series as he out-dueled John Smoltz to throw a complete game shutout, but overall, Jack Morris was 7-4 with a 3.80 ERA in seven playoff series. That doesn’t impress me much. I feel that many of his supporters point to his playoff “dominance,” but in reality, his career is based on those three games he started in the1991 World Series, with game seven being his main selling point. Other names on the list which will get serious HOF consideration are Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza, Jeff Bagwell, Frank Thomas, and Jeff Kent, but voters better not leave Mike Mussina off their ballot.

In October, he held a TBI Awareness and Prevention meeting at the same location. The event brought Baltimore County and state officials including Barry Williams, director of Baltimore Country Recreation and Parks, as well as representatives from the Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz’s and State Senator Norman Stone’s offices. Joe Hairston, former superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools, also attended. “He came because he suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was 17,” says Collier. “He fully understands just how easily this can happen to anyone.” Collier says that Hairston was hit in a 1965 football game. “They told him he had 20 minutes to live,” he says. Hairston survived, but a young Marine who had just been hit in the head with a basketball, and was at the same hospital with the same injury at the same time, did not. “Joe said he still feels a few things from that injury,” says Collier. “It changed his life.” In addition to more widespread use of helmets, Collier is an advocate for baseline testing—a test that establishes an athlete’s cognitive levels prior to an injury. With that information, he says, doctors can better understand where an athlete’s cognition levels should be following a trauma.

Born in Baltimore, she was a 1976 graduate of Patterson High School and resided in Edgemere for the past 17 years.

She was an avid Orioles and Ravens fan who enjoyed watching games with her husband, children and grandchildren.

The conspicuous absence of a passed loved one amid feeling of holiday togetherness can evoke considerable sadness. Those who must endure the emotions swirling around the loss of a loved one during the holidays are encouraged to resist the understandable urge to withdraw from the holiday spirit. Instead, they may want to seize upon the holiday to come together with others who are feeling the loss, and join with them in loving remembrances of the departed. Doing so may well help allay their sadness and might even evoke a nearly a palpable presence of the departed. As family and friends gather to celebrate the holidays, our longing for a love one who has died, or for the shared times that have passed, may intensify. This holiday season, gift yourself with time set aside to intentionally remember and celebrate your loved one. The death of a loved one is a difficult time. If final arrangements have not been made prior to death, there are many decisions that must be made. Connelly Funeral Home can assist you in planning and coordinating all the details. “To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die”. – Thomas Campbell CONNELLY FUNERAL HOME OF DUNDALK, P.A. 7110 Sollers Point Road • 410-285-2900 GOD LOVES YOU AND HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE Everyone Welcome!
