It’s cold and we’re really worried about the cats.” The cat colony, located in Dundalk between a rec center and an apartment complex, lives in and around a small strand of woods. It has homemade shelters for the cats — boxes, cartons and tarps — to protect them from the weather. It also has food bowls which need to be filled on a regular basis. The man who had been taking care of the cats, Dundalk resident Frank Vain, died of pneumonia, but had become increasingly frail prior to that. Still, said those who knew him, he had spent the waning years of his life caring for the cats. “The man was on oxygen, but he would find his way down there to care for those cats,” says Sandy Kosmaczewski of Highlandtown. “He was an angel.” According to Sandy’s husband Ben, the cats, about a dozen in all, don’t take much, but they do need feeding. They are hoping that someone steps up to the plate to help out. “We want to help,” says Ben, a Highlandtown resident, “but we can’t be there every day, and that’s what the cats need.” The public’s view of cat colonies — groups of cats that live in the wild together, much the way lions live in a pride — has changed considerably over the years. In the past, cats without an owner simply would have been written off by onlookers as problematic strays, rounded up and euthanized. However, the thinking has changed. Animal advocates say feral cat colonies, defined as groups of cats that were born outdoors and which live their lives as wild animals rather than as pets, have a role to play in the ecosystem of a given area. They keep the rodent and small animal population under control, and they are territorial, keeping to their own area and not interacting with people or other cats for the most part. Organizations have also evolved to help those who are interested deal with the situation of feral cat colonies. The Spay/Neuter Coalition, an organization formed in 2007 by Alley Cat Allies, the Maryland SPCA, the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter, and the Maryland Feline Society, advocates for trap-neuter-release, or TNR, programs for outdoor cats. Advocates say feral cats, when spayed and neutered, are far less likely to display the negative behaviors of unaltered cats, such as yowling, fighting and marking. (They also don’t breed, which means the population stays stable). Another change in the way of thinking has been the concept of a caretaker of a colony, such as Vain. It is the responsibility of the caretaker to go through local programs such as the Spay/ Neuter Coalition, to use humane traps to catch the cats, then have them sterilized and vaccinated against rabies. The cats are then ear-tipped (the very edge of one ear is clipped or notched while the cat is under anesthesia), to show that the animal has seen a vet. They are then released back into the wild HOMELESS CAT-A member of the Dundalk cat colony forages for scraps near a dumpster. A makeshift cardboard shelter can be seen in the background. The colony is in search of a new caretaker. Photo by Mary Helen Sprecher Continued on page 12 SOPRANOS PIZZA Hours: SUN-THURS 11am-12am FRI & SAT 11am-1am Fast FREE Delivery!

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 The Baltimore Guide 3 Two neighborhood groups get ready to face off in basketball by Mary Helen Sprecher [email protected] March Madness hasn’t even begun, but already, Kevin Bernhard and Joe Di Mattina are talking trash. Only instead of Michigan State vs. North Carolina (or even the Hoosiers vs. the Terps), they’re throwing down about Highlandtown and Patterson Park. “Of course we can whip them,” Bernhard snorts. “We’re Highlandtown.” “No,” says DiMattina. “We have Sam Cassell. He’s an assistant coach with the Washington Wizards. Well, we don’t have him playing for us, but he came from our neighborhood. He was born in Baltimore and he has ties to Patterson Park. And his uncle owns a bar in our neighborhood, The New Cassell’s. You can’t have him, Highlandtown. Take that.” And so it goes. Highlandtown Community Association (led by newly-elected president Kevin Bernhard) and Patterson Park Neighborhood Association (headed up by longtime neighborhood activist Joe Di Mattina) are ramping up the excitement for their upcoming neighborhood basketball face off. It will be on Saturday, Feb. 13 at 5 p.m. in the gymnasium of Breath of God Lutheran Church. The two teams are practicing in the church’s gym on selected Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. (Contact information for both team captains is found at the end of this article, for those who want to join in the fun). And fun is the operative word here. “We might play four on four,” says Bernhard.

Mark Parker, pastor of Breath of God, and in his words, “host and somewhat instigator” of the event, although it didn’t take much convincing.” It’s not the first time the two neighborhoods have met, either. “We had a softball game last year,” says Di Mattina. “(City Councilman) Jim Kraft was our umpire. We made up T-shirts and everything.” Rumor has it that the two neighborhoods played a best-of-three series, and tied with one game each. The third game that served as the tiebreaker? “It was a friendly competition,” says Pastor Mark. The kind of competition involving alcohol. Who won? 410-563-9051 888308)064&*/5&3*034$0.

And oddly enough, they wind up being funny. At least that’s according to the Riverside Stage. There, a murder mystery is about to be enacted on Valentine’s Eve (Saturday, Feb. 13) as dinner theater, with a side order of humor, just in time for that great lovers’ holiday. And it makes sense. Why spend the evening of an overblown holiday fighting crowds, taking attitude from surly waiters and worrying about all the pressures of creating the perfect romantic evening when you can spend time (either with or without a beloved companion) in the company of a crowd of soon-to-be friends, laughing and trying to piece together the next clue in a dinner theater and murder mystery? “One of the Gang,” a comedy set in Baltimore during the roaring 20s, sees two warring factions -- the Irish mafia and the Italian mafia, meeting to break bread and settle their long-running feud on Valentine’s Day. Only something goes slightly wrong. Make that horribly wrong. Someone gets murdered. And that’s when the fun starts, says Michael Hulett, president of Musical Artists Theater, which works at Riverside Stage. “It’s an audience participation show, where the audience can get involved in helping to solve the ROARING 20s SWEETHEARTS-Ruth and Michael Hulett, founders of Musical Artists Theatre, display costumes appropriate to the period in the play, “One of the Gang.” Photo by Frank Lamm KENO Cash up to $5,000 of winning lottery tickets at any time * Receive up to 30 FREE Tickets with cash in!

We don’t make people go up on stage or anything, but if they want to take the role of the investigators who help solve the crime, the cast will work with that. Otherwise, they can just laugh and enjoy the show as an audience member.” The production uses a setup siliar to that of the St. Valentine’s Massacre, the Chicago Prohibition-era slaying commonly attributed to Al Capone. Do Or Die Productions, the improv company, has worked up a fictional history, how- ever, and they take all kinds of suggestions from the audience. And they do mean all kinds. “We’ve very participatory,” says C.J. Crowe, president of the improv group. We want to know who it is the audience wants to see die.” The play, she adds, runs between two and two and a half hours, depending upon how much input the audience wants to have (or not have). It includes full catered dinner that includes carved sirloin and turkey breast, vegetable lasagne, side dishes, vegetables and desserts. Dinner starts at 6:30 p.m., and the play begins at 8 p.m. Show and dinner tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door, or $18 for the show only. The hall will be decorated like a 1920s speakeasy. Oh, and hey, it’s the Prohibition era, so there isn’t a bar. It is a family-friendly show. Still, says Hulett, “really little kids might not get it.” Because this is participatory theater, audience members are welcome to come in period clothes, but it’s not required at all. “There’s no dress code,” says Hulett. “If you want to dress up, that’s fine. My wife is going to want to come as a flapper, and I am probably going to come dressed as her bodyguard, but whatever people want to wear—people do not need to come dressed up to this.” “We want people to smile and laugh and have a nice time,” says Crowe. “That’s the only thing we’re looking for.” Note: Riverside Stage, located at 1530 Battery Avenue, is a joint neighborhood arts project of Musical Artists Theatre and Salem Lutheran Church.

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 The Baltimore Guide Dining Out Have no Reserve-ations about dining here By Lynn Williams [email protected] A couple of weeks ago, I settled in at Don’t Know Tavern looking for the fine-dining menu of my dreams. What I found was a pretty standard sports bar. The wings were good, but the experience was somewhat deflating. Turns out, I was just a block or so off. Don’t Know’s previous chef, Matt Merkel, was just down the street at The Reserve. And so was his creative, ambitious cuisine. What better place to check out for our inaugural Restaurant Week outing? The South Baltimore corner bar turned out to be a handsome, expansive space with high tables, fieldstone trim, and an open kitchen. With all these hard surfaces—not to mention the TVs—I can imagine that it gets pretty noisy in here on busy drinking nights. At an early dinner hour, though, all was peaceful and conversationfriendly. The special menu, available through February 7, includes the diner’s choice of seven appetizers, five entrees and three desserts. Interesting, there’s no poultry, and little apparent interest in catering to vegetarians. But if meat and seafood are your meal of choice, The Reserve’s are primo. My dining companion Jackie chose abalone tatak as a starter. I don’t recall ever tasting abalone, but I had some idea that it was like conch— i.e., fishy and dauntingly chewy. It was neither. The texture was firm and meaty, and the flavor at first bite recalled liver. It was served sliced in its pretty, pearly shell, atop udon noodles and greens with an intriguing Asian flavor (tatak is a Filipino word). While tasty, this dish was worthwhile mostly as a curiosity, unlike my “petite The Reserve 1542 Light Street Open: Lunch Fri.-Sun, dinner nightly Phone: 410-605-0955 Prices: Appetizers $8-$16, entrees $15-$28 lamb three ways,” which was delicious. Three little lamb chops were nestled on top of three sauces: three-mustard cream, yellow curry, and a dusky blackberry merlot. When mingled with the lamb’s juices, the sauces weren’t as distinct as they might have been, but this was a minor criticism. More puzzling was the apparent lack of a promised “scallion and black truffle terrine,” although the accompanying rich scalloped potatoes were yummy. If Restaurant Week eating was a contest, I definitely won the first round, but Jackie trounced me in the next. My saffron-infused seafood risotto was flanked by a pillowy seared scallop and a large grilled shrimp, and topped with a lobster claw—perfect so far. I wasn’t as enamored of the risotto, though; there’s a fine line be- Thursday meeting for School 27 Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPS) will hold a meeting Thursday, Feb. 4, 6-7:30 p.m. concerning possible changes to Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle School 27. The school, at Chester and Fayette streets, is one of 12 underperforming schools chosen for closing or “transformation” and possible radical changes to faculty, staff, administration, curriculum and/or clientele. For info call the Office of Partnerships, Communications and Community Engagement, 410-545-1870. Commodore John Rodgers School is one of two elementary/middle schools to get a makeover this year. The other is Calverton Elementary/Middle in West Baltimore. Part of the BCPS plan is to allow fifth-graders tween al dente and stiff, and this one crossed it. Jackie, on the other hand, got the venison medallions. Ahhhh…three perfectly tender, delectably rare hunks of meat, more complex in flavor than beef, but perfectly accessible to the novice. They were moistened with more of that lovely Merlot sauce, and served with a swirl of mashed potatoes subtly flavored with sprigs of fennel. Desserts ranged from simple (polenta cheese- citywide to choose where they want to go for middle school, instead of receiving an assignment to a neighborhood school. All of the 12 schools facing closing or sweeping changes are distinguished by low test scores and decreasing enrollment. Last year, 35 percent of Commodore John Rodgers students passed the statewide math test, and fewer than half passed the reading test, and fewer than two-thirds of parents and staff responded positively to a survey about the “climate” of the school. BCPS is recommending that Commodore John Rodgers be administered by an outside agency or company. cake) to sinful (chocolate mousse napoleon). The former had a hearty, somewhat grainy texture and an anise-spiked flavor; as for the topping, as Jackie put it, there’s nothing like booze-soaked strawberries to put one in a good mood. The mousse—the sexy, dark, muddy kind—was layered between phyllo leaves, and topped with a chocolate spiderweb. Sound good? Oh yes. In true fine-dining style, the presentation was splendid, but there wasn’t a lot of food on those artistically-arranged plates. Trenchermen might be a bit miffed, especially as no bread was served, either. Still, if quality, not quantity, tops your restaurant wishlist, The Reserve is a welcome addition to the SoBo scene. The Latest Dish… I attended last week’s grand opening cocktail party at Milan, which was full of those “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Baltimore anymore” moments. The former home of Luigi Petti and Petalo has received an extreme makeover and is now a sleek, chic, three-level showcase for designer martinis and “fashion-forward food.” Everything is white and silver, with accents of red and espresso-brown; white leather couches, dining nooks draped in gauze and silver beads and tucked-away private TV lounges were an appropriate setting for the cocktail crowd of young women in drop-dead Little Black Dresses and expertly groomed metrosexual men. The menu is Mediterranean with a twist: this is the only restaurant in town where you’ll find salami behind the sushi bar (“sushi Italiano” is a specialty) and prices noted in dollars…and in euros!

While we know that this may disappointment some bikers, the decision was made based on safety concerns and protection of the grounds. As the construction of the new visitor center moves into high gear, more construction vehicles are using the main road. The new visitor center blocks the loop trail, which would cause congestion between pedestrians and bicyclists. The park recognizes that many visitors especially our local neighbors in South Baltimore and Locust Point use the loop trail and grounds for rcreation. The loop trail will be reopened for bicycle use once the new center is completed. In addition, as part of the construction of the new visitor center the current Seawall Trail will be widened and a bicycle path will be added to the trail to provide a safer environment for park visitors. The path will also be re-graded to avoid the dips that result in water pooling. Bicycle racks will be provided at both the main gate and the temporary parking lot for visitors who wish to ride their bicycles to the park and visit the grounds on foot. We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we improve the infrastructure of the park. Bicycles will be allowed back in the park at Capital Assets: tax bracket.

BASKETBALL It’s time once again to send information to be listed in this year’s Community Calendar. There is no charge to have items published in the calendar, but all activities must be community-oriented and open to the public. Examples are community association meetings, bingo, bazaars, church suppers, Little League tryouts, educational or recreational programs at the park, library programs and similar activities. Calendar items may pertain to adult or children’ activities. At this time of year, the Guide is also interested in churches’ Lenten events, including food sakes, pancake suppers, services, offerings and more. Priority is given to activities happening in the circulation area, within the week following publication. Exceptions are made to this policy on a case-by case basis. Information can be mailed to The Baltimore Guide at 526 S. Conkling Street, Baltimore, MD 21224, faxed to 410-732-6604, or e-mailed to [email protected]. Deadline for each week’s issue is Friday at noon of the week before. Please provide a contact number or e-mail address so that someone with questions about your event is able to get in touch with you. Note: Obituaries, which are not a part of the Community Calendar, are also published on a space-available basis. Priority is given to obituaries of individuals who were residents of the Baltimore Guide’s coverage area, and whose servces will be taking place within the week following the date of publication. The Guide makes every attempt to print all relevant obituaries it receives. “Based on an Alley Cat Allies survey that is representative of the United States, there are 82 million cats in homes,” she notes. “Scientists esContinued from page 2 timate there is an equal number of cats outdoors as there are pet cats in households.” in the same area they were caught.

Being a caretaker for a cat colony, while not a full-time job, is a commitment of the mind, heart and body. It involves acting as the supervisor of the colony — making sure food and water bowls are kept filled, and creating a shelter to help protect the cats from harsh weather. It can be a monetary commitment too. The Spay/Neuter Coalition works to help provide traps, and assist cat caregivers with locating lowcost sterilization services. it also provides educational resources, including how-to meetings, so that individuals learn the proper care of feral cat colonies. As one site offering spay/neuter services, the Maryland SPCA sees its share of feral cats. “We had a banner year in 2009,” says executive director Aileen Gabbey. “We fixed 1,450 feral cats, and a total of 9,761 animals overall.” According to Ben Kosmaczewski, the person who steps up to care for the Dundalk colony shouldn’t have to worry about the cost of cat food. He has helped develop a relationship with some local merchants who donate dry or canned cat food, whatever is available. And the cats aren’t all that picky, he adds. If it’s in the bowl, it gets eaten. On a cold day, before snow was expected to move in, one black and white shorthaired cat was in the area near the colony. The cat dove hungrily on dry food poured out by a visitor, but like all feral cats, backed away warily when approached. The problem, Ben Kosmaczewski notes, is making the commitment, and having the ability to do it. The job could be done by one person, but if several individuals trade off days, it becomes less of a burden. Before Frank Vain cared for the cats an elderly Dundalk woman had the job, but now has limited mobility and is unable to do it. “We all do what we can,” says Kosmaczewski, “but we can’t do it forever. We really need someone in the area.” Aileen Gabbey says anyone who takes over the job joins a group of individuals the SPCA holds in high regard. “We love working with the caretakers,” she says. “We’ve met the nicest people through our spay/neuter clinic. They make a huge difference keeping the cat population under control.” Note: Interested in learning more about the cat colony, and possibly taking over as a caretaker? Contact Ben at 443-216-7290.
