the water has a chance to soak into the ground. Eventually, it enters the waterways as groundwater.

In contrast, on a traditional blacktop alley, the water coming off the surrounding rooftops and roadways flows down the alley, picking up trash, chemicals, sediment, and anything else laying on the ground (such as animal feces), and sweeps everything into the nearest storm drain. The storm drain in turn drains directly to the nearest body of water—in this case, the bay, adding to the problem of polluted waterways.

After more than two years of planning, Blue Water Baltimore will be breaking ground on the Butcher’s Hill and Patterson Park neighborhood’s Blue Alleys and curb bumpouts within the next few weeks.

Blue Alleys replace traditional paving systems with pervious materials that allow stormwater and fine pollutants to soak through the alley surface and into the ground.

Once beneath the surface, many of the pollutants are filtered out, and

Hampstead Hill Academy hopes to expand by 2018By DANIELLE SWEENEy [email protected]

Matthew Hornbeck, principal at Hampstead Hill Academy, would like to annex the building currently occupied by Friendship Academy of Science and Technology, the former Canton Middle School, at 801 S. Highland Ave., so that the public charter school can expand and serve more students.

Hampstead Hill Academy, at 500 S. Linwood Ave. is a zoned pre-K-8 charter school operated by the Baltimore Curriculum Project. It currently has a waitlist of several hundred students.

Since the Highland Ave. building is within HHA’s attendance area, Hornbeck says a possible expansion/annexation would meet the needs of the school’s growing enrollment--as well as significantly reduce overcrowding throughout southeast Baltimore elementary and middle schools.

HHA hopes to gain community support to ask the City Schools Board of Education to vote on an HHA charter expansion within the

Glad to see a Republican candidateTo the Editor:I am glad to see that the GOP is trying to make inroads in Maryland, but I am sorry to

see the candidate seems more along the lines of Bob Ehrlich and the Tea Party than along the lines of the only Republican I have not regretted voting for, the late U.S. Sen. Charles McC. Mathias Jr.

All of the statements made by the potential candidate seem to imply that.I look forward to watching him run. I could be wrong. I have made mistakes; I voted for

Stephan Fogleman relinquished his posi-tion as chair of the Liquor Board last Thursday, handing over the gavel to Elizabeth Smith, who will act as chair.

“I will be acting as interim chairperson until Governor O’Malley decides who is going to be the Liquor Commissioners,” Smith said.

The Liquor Commissioners are a three-person board that decides on all matters related to liquor licenses. The Liquor Board has a judicial arm—the Liquor Commissioners— and an administrative arm, which includes the liquor inspectors and other administrative personnel.

CORRECTIONS: There were a couple errors in last week’s story, “Pub crawl or gallery tour? Baltimore’s bar art scene.”

First of all, we managed to misspell “Baltimore” in the headline. Second, Roman’s Place is located at 2 S. Decker Ave., not 11 as stated in the article. The Baltimore Guide regrets the errors, and we sincerely hope this week is better.

A year ago, Smith told the Fell’s Point Community Organization that there would be “major shakeups” in the administrative arm of the Liquor Board.

The entire organization has been under scrutiny since the release of a scathing audit last year.

Last Thursday, Smith said that she would work to “restore the public’s trust, increase the transparency, and ensure that all the decisions are judicially prudent.”

Fogleman has been appointed to a judge-ship in the city’s Orphans’ Court, where he will finish out the term of Chief Judge Joyce Baylor Thompson, and run for a four-year term in the June elections.


Police encourage residents to seek news sources outside mainstreamby ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected]

Detective Jeremy Silbert of the Baltimore City Police Department’s Public Information Office visited the Southeast District Police Community Relations Council last week to encourage residents to get their news directly from the Police Department.

The Police Department is active on both Facebook and Twitter (@BaltimorePolice). Silbert explained that the department began using social media to interact with the public in about 2009.

“In about 2008 or 2009, homicide numbers started going down,” Silbert said. “But what a lot of people don’t know is the number of arrests we made.” He said that in Baltimore, a city with a population somewhat over 600,000, over 110,000 adult men were arrested in 2009.

“There were a lot of people that didn’t like us,” said Silbert. “That’s when we started a new strategy—we started reaching out to the community by social media.” On Twitter, he said, “We talk about shootings; we talk about stabbings; and we also talk about a lot of good news the Police Department does.”

That can include coverage of National Crime Victims Week, which was last week. Recent tweets by the department run the gamut, including news of a shooting at S. Greene St., pictures of Fox Baltimore’s Rick Boone undergoing academy training for a day, and photos of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Commissioner Anthony Batts canvassing neighborhoods ahead of a

Public Safety Town Hall.The Police Department’s Twitter account has about

47,100 followers.“There’s probably double that on Facebook,”Silbert

said. The department also holds “Twitter Town Halls,” in

which police, including Batts, answer residents questions.“Any questions you ask—within reason—we’ll answer,”

said Silbert, adding that district commanders would also be doing Twitter Town Halls.

He said that the Police Department is also broadcasting its press conferences live on the Internet. The media coverage of these conferences, according to Silbert, doesn’t give the whole story.

“They pull out an eight-second soundbite of me talking,” he said. “We wanted to bring it direct to the consumer.”

Silbert encouraged residents to pay attention to the questions asked by the media.

“If anyone’s been to a press conference—some of the questions are pretty out-there,” he said.

Silbert warned residents about some crime-reporting groups on Twitter and Facebook that are not affiliated with the Police Department.

“There are some groups in the northwest part of the city—they mean well, but they put out a lot of false information,” he said. “Unfortunately this is a problem with social media...My advice is to make sure you follow people directly. We want to talk to all of you directly.”

Bills Cafe is no more, but a new bar has just been approved, with restrictions, to take over the liquor license. | Photo by Erik Zygmont

Bill’s Cafe, at Dundalk and Holabird avenues, will be reincarnated as a new establishment under new ownership.

At last Thursday’s Liquor Board hearings, Commissioners Elizabeth Smith and Harvey Jones approved a transfer from Bill’s Cafe’s former owner, Nicolaos Trinitis, to new licensees Dilbag Singh and George Mooney.

The license had been revoked last November following violations including some drug sales by employees happening in and around the bar.

Sometime after that, the board privately voted to reinstate the license to Trinitis so that he could sell it. Both “Booze News: Distilled in Room 215,” a blog posted by the Community Law Center, and the “Baltimore Brew” reported on the fact that the Liquor Board had apparently met outside of public hearing to reinstate the license.

Last Thursday, Smith, acting chair of the Liquor Board, said that the board did have the authority to do so, based on standard judicial practices.

“The rules of procedure allow for a judge to make a decision,” she said.

Smith’s statement was a response to an objection by Attorney Susan Hughes of the Community Law Center, who was representing the community in the transfer hearing.

“We believe the community and the Police Department should have been at least advised of this decision, and what it had been based on—individuals not at all impacted by whether this license should be reinstated,” Hughes had said, referring to both the reinstatement itself and the fact that members of the Greektown community had advocated for it, while Bill’s Cafe is located on the county line, well outside of Greektown.

“I do agree with you that the board should have at least notified the Police Department and the community,” agreed Smith. “Nevertheless, this hearing—this transfer of ownership today—allows you that opportunity.”

Smith added that, moving forward, all actions taken by the Liquor Board would be done in public hearing settings, pursuant to the recent passage of Senate Bill 846, the “Alcoholic Beverages Act of 2014,” which, among other things, aims to add transparency to the Liquor Board.

The Liquor Board approved the license transfer, though several restrictions are attached to the license. The new licensees

New establishment planned for former Bill’s Cafe, with restrictions on license

have restricted hours of operation, including the prohibition of alcohol sales before 11 a.m. or after 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. They must install surveillance cameras that capture “easily discernible image” both inside the bar and on the public right-of-way outside. Lighting must be installed and maintained. Illegal activity, including drug transactions and fighting, must be “actively discouraged,” and security staff must be hired as needed. The establishment may not apply for live entertainment or dancing for 12 months. The establishment may not use the name “Bill’s Cafe.”

Melvin Kodenski, attorney for the licensees, elaborated on their plans a bit, noting that members of Singh’s family have owned various Subway restaurants in the city.

“They’re going to change it from being a regular bar to having a food component,” Kodendski said. “It’s not going to be a gourmet restaurant; it’s not going to be a Subway either.”

He noted that the establishment would likely serve workers from the Amazon fulfillment center being built nearby.

The Liquor Board reinstated the liquor license for Voltage Nightclub, with the caveat that the club not reopen, and that the license not be used at Voltage’s location, 5625 O’Donnell St.

“The licensee will be able to sell [the license] to a purchaser not to include 5625 O’Donnell St.,” said Attorney Melvin Kodenski at the Liquor Board hearing last Thursday, explaining the proposal made to the board on behalf of his client, Voltage licensee Louis Principio III.

The Liquor Board had revoked Voltage’s license on March 13, based on incidents of violence at the club including a shooting inside and large fights in the parking lot in which police officers were pepper-sprayed.

Stephan Fogleman, then chairman of the Liquor Board, said, “We believe that the public safety of Baltimore requires this license to be revoked.”

He said that the licensee had 30 days to appeal the decision, and it did so immediately.

Within hours of Fogleman’s statement, a post appeared on Voltage’s Facebook page stating that the club would be open and serving alcohol the next evening, Friday, March 18.

Sure enough, that Friday afternoon, Circuit Court Judge Alfred Nance heard and granted a request that the revocation be stayed until the appeal would be heard.

Voltage remained open and promoting its popular “College Night,” “Ladies Night,” and “All You Can Drink” events. It closed for good on Sunday, April 7, at 2 a.m.

The club posted a statement to its Facebook page:

“The Club could have remained open many more months, pending appeal, but decided in

Voltage Nightclub closes for good; liquor license reinstated for transfer only

the end that if the O’Donnell Heights area was unhappy with the Club, it was best to close the location down NOW. We also will not be moving any of the Clubs promotions to any other club.”

The statement goes on to thank customers and apologize to employees for the short notice of the closing.

“WE ARE NOT MOVING TO PAPARRAZI,” concludes the statement.

Last Thursday, the Liquor Board formally reinstated the club’s liquor license.

“Your client is agreeing that the business will not open at any time...Is that correct?” Fogleman asked Kodenski.

Kodenski responded in the affirmative.Liquor Commissioner Harvey Jones

inquired as to whether Principio could end up being a part of a partnership that purchases the license.

“We never discussed that,” said Kodenski. “He did indicate that he wanted no part of a liquor establishment.”

Jones said that he would like the agreement to stipulate that Principio couldn’t be part of whatever party would purchase the license. Fogleman said that any such transaction would have to happen in front of the Liquor Board in a public hearing.

“Any transfer would be subject to public hearing,” added Kodenski. “I don’t want to preclude him if I don’t have to.”

The board reinstated the license without Jones’ stipulation.

“The board has always been about public safety,” said Fogleman. “We’re not here to impugn someone financially.”

Joyce Adamski, president of the Southeast District Police Community Relations Council, said that she was okay with the decision.

“I agree with that,” she said.

History buffs and pirate enthusiasts descended on Fell’s Point this weekend for the 10th

Annual Privateer Festival, presented by Fell’s Point Main Street. The festival dominated

the Broadway Square and Broadway Pier, with vendors, music and costumed revelers.

This year’s festival had a strong historical component, with Ft. McHenry rangers

demonstrating aspects of the privateer life. Like pirates, privateers captured merchant

ships and took the spoils. Unlike pirates, however, the American privateers’ activities

were officially sanctioned by the U.S. Government as wartime actions on the economic

front of the War of 1812 against Great Britain. The privateers made money while

advancing American interests on the high seas.

“I think Baltimore is really attractive to a lot of people for a lot of reasons,” says Bill Romani, a candidate who hopes to represent the 46th District in the House of Delegates.

“We have a wide array of outstanding jobs if you want to be in business...There are three major hospital campuses, either in or across the street from the 46th District. There are nonprofits doing outstanding work.”

“People come here to go to school,” he continues. “We also have really good national and regional institutions—Johns Hopkins University and Loyola, for example. There are jobs for people to stay here when they’re done with school.”

Still, there’s plenty of room for improvement.“Thirty-thousand people came to Baltimore

last year,” Romani says. “The problem is about 30,000 left.”

So what are the keys to keeping people in the city? According to Romani, quality children’s education options is one.

The candidate says that southeast Baltimore is doing something right in that regard.

“I think a lot of the things we’re doing well city-wide are being modeled in the Southeast,” says Romani.

Romani, candidate for delegate, says resident retention is keyHe believes that strong leadership has been

the key to the Southeast schools’ success, and is necessary for their continued improvement.

“Matt Hornbeck has been [principal] at Hampstead Hill for 10 years,” he says. “He’s established a really good school that parents want to send their kids to.”

Romani also singles out William Paca Elementary and Commodore John Rodgers Elementary and Middle School as two other institutions that have benefited from hardworking and committed principals. Commodore John Rodgers in particular was one of the worst schools in the state when Principal Mark Martin took over 16 years ago, he adds, but was turned around in part because Baltimore City Public Schools gave Martin “the autonomy he needed to succeed.”

“There are some great examples of what public education in Baltimore can be right in the Southeast,” comments Romani. “We’re starting to answer the question: ‘Do I need to leave the city when my child turns three?’ The answer is no.”

Now, he says, that same question has to be answered for age 10.

Education, Romani says, ties in directly with public safety. When children are reading

Romani cites his work with One House at a Time as an accomplishment and experience that could help him alleviate the vacant housing problem in the 46th District, and in turn reduce crime and revitalize neighborhoods.

Romani says that when he took over as One House at a Time’s president in January 2011, the organization was auctioning off “a few houses a month.” Thanks to efforts by himself and others--Romani left the organization in July the same year--One House at a Time increased its scope and last year auctioned off over 300 homes, he says. Romani notes that One House at a Time became a receiving program for the mayor’s Vacants to Value initiative.

Romani, 45, currently works at a large nonprofit, organizing and overseeing senior citizens who mentor students in Baltimore schools. He has also worked as an instructor in higher education, a physical therapist, and an athletics coach.

He enjoys playing ice hockey in over-40 pick-up games and riding his road bike. He enjoys live music, and is a founder of the Mammojam Music Festival, which promotes breast cancer awareness, particularly for uninsured and low-income women.

Do I need to leave the city when my child turns three? The answer is no.

at grade level by third grade, he argues, they are more likely to stay in school, graduate and get jobs. They are much less likely to engage in criminal activity or go to jail, he says.

Third grade, says Romani, is the point where children “go from learning how to read to reading to learn.”

The process starts at the pre-K level, Romani says, and he believes that it is important that children start kindergarten at age 4 “ready to learn.” In a recent blog posting on his website, billromani.com, Romani applauded Gov. Martin O’Malley’s signing of the Pre-K Expansion Grant Program, which extends pre-K access to 1,600 more children in the state. Romani’s post took the idea further, however, and stated that pre-K education should be extended to every child in the state.

Romani also cites improved public transportation as key to keeping people in the city.

A survey by Citizens Planning and Housing Association (Romani has been on the CPHA board since 2011) found that “one of the biggest factors in people deciding to leave the city was a lack of public transportation,” he says.

Romani believes that public transportation goes hand-in-hand with southeast Baltimore’s parking congestion.

“The Red Line is going to make it possible for people to be able to live in the city without cars,” he says.

However, he acknowledges that the construction period for the proposed train is going to be somewhat rough, particularly for certain Southeast businesses.

“We need to be very mindful of the fact that a number of people have already made an investment in the Southeast with their businesses and their livelihoods,” he says. “We need to create a situation where they have an opportunity to come out of the other side of the construction process and are posed to succeed and take advantage of transit-oriented development.”

One way to create that situation, Romani says, is to follow the model through which the federal government provided ARC loans to small businesses during the Great Recession.

At the state level, one possibility is the VLT loan program, in which 1.5 percent of proceeds from “video lottery terminals” are designated for small business loans. Half of that money must be disbursed within a 10-mile radius of such gambling devices. Southeast Baltimore is within 10 miles of Baltimore’s nearly-built Horseshoe Casino, Romani notes.

The Blue Alley in Butchers Hill will be installed at the alley that connects S. Duncan St. with S. Collington Ave., just north of the unit block. The Butchers Hill curb bumpouts will be installed at the northeast corner of Collington Ave. and Baltimore St; the northwest corner of Fairmount Ave. and Chester St.; and the northwest corner of Lombard and Chester streets.

The Blue Alleys in the Patterson Park neighborhood will be installed at the alley

between Lakewood Ave. and Glover St., between Fayette St. and Fairmount Ave., and at the alley between Rose St. and Luzerne Ave. Patterson Park’s curb bumpout will be installed at the southwest corner of Fairmount Ave. and Luzerne St.

According to Ashley Traut, Blue Water’s senior manager of storm water and community outreach, the primary funding for the projects, $600,000, came from a grant from the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation, with Baltimore City Department of Public Works and Baltimore City Department of Transportation providing $300,000 in matching funds.

Traut says the projects should be completed by July and that the Baltimore City Department of Transportation will be overseeing all aspects of construction.

“We’re hoping to have them done as soon as possible,” says David Leibensperger, president of the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association. “This is a project that PPNA is proud to be part of.”

Butchers Hill is also excited about the Blue Alleys’ long-awaited completion, says Andrew Crummey, the Butchers Hill Association’s streetscape committee chair.

“We’re striving to be a green neighborhood.

We have a master plan and have been waiting for two years,” Crummey says.

He adds that the Blue Alley will be a nice complement to a tree-planting strip the Butchers Hill Association will be planting on the 100 block of S. Chester St., between Pratt and Lombard streets, during the Mayor’s Spring Cleanup.

Blue Water Baltimore had initially hoped to break ground on the Blue Alleys and curb bumpouts project last summer. Traut says construction was delayed because the permitting and the bidding processes took a good deal longer than Blue Water Baltimore anticipated.

The Baltimore Orioles 2014 season has become a tale of two pitchers.

First, we have Chris Tillman. Tillman led the O’s pitching staff in 2013, going 16-7 with a 3.71 ERA. The young right-hander was poised to take that next big step in 2014 to be the true ace in Baltimore.

So far, he has been doing just that.In his first three starts of the 2014 season,

Tillman is 1-1 with a 0.84 ERA. In 21.1 innings pitched, he has struck out 15 and walked only three. He has allowed only two earned runs all season. This Chris Tillman was what the Orioles had hoped for a few years ago when they stole him—along with Adam Jones—in the trade that sent Erik Bedard to the Mariners.

The other pitcher involved in this tale is Ubaldo Jimenez, but before I talk about his 2014, let me rewind just a bit for some background.

Jimenez busted onto the scene in 2008, posting a 12-12 record with the Colorado Rockies with a 3.99 ERA. Pretty decent numbers, especially for a pitcher in Colorado. His 2009 was even better, going 15-12 with a 3.47 ERA. In 2010, Jimenez completely caught fire, going 19-8 with a 2.88 ERA and getting serious Cy Young consideration, as he finished third to Roy Halladay and Adam Wainwright.

Don’t be fooled by his 2010 season, as many other people were. Before the All Star break, Jimenez seemed like a Cy Young lock, hitting the break with a 15-1 record and a 2.20 ERA in 18 starts. After the break however, was a different story, as he finished with a 4-7 record and a still-respectable 3.80 ERA.

Jimenez was sent to the Cleveland Indians in 2011 and spent the next two years there. In 2012, he was a very unimpressive 9-17 with a 5.40 ERA. His 17 losses led the league. Not good. Then in 2013, he got off to a slow start—despite his 7-4 record, his ERA of 4.56 was less than stellar. Jiminez would turn things around in the second half of last year, however, with a 6-5 record and| 1.82 ERA.

Then the Orioles signed him to a four-year deal worth $50 million.

Maybe I don’t get it, but I’m still not sure why they signed him to a four year deal. So far he has been pretty horrible. Currently, Jimenez is 0-3 with a 7.31 ERA. His 13 strikeouts in 16 innings pitched aren’t bad, but his 10 walks are horrible.

Buck Showalter said he wasn’t too worried about him, and that he gets better as the year goes on. Considering he’s starting the year with a 7.31 ERA, the only thing he can do at this point is get better as the year goes on.

on the MSA, and also have As and Bs on their report cards.

There are currently several Ingenuity programs in the Baltimore City schools, but none is close to the Southeast.

“If the community expresses a desire for this program, it may draw citywide, as the other Ingenuity programs do, or perhaps it would be designed to accommodate students from the Southeast, “ said Laura Doherty, president and CEO of the Baltimore Curriculum Project, which operates HHA.

Total HHA enrollment at both campuses would be between 1,400 and 1,600 students. Alternatively, Hornbeck said, HHA’s present site could become a dedicated pre-K-grade 2 campus, and the other campus would serve students in grades 3-8.

There are several possible ways students could be admitted to the dual-campus school. Families living in the HHA zone (from Broadway to Haven St. and Eastern Ave. to Boston St.) would be automatically admitted.

“We’d be okay with permanently expanding our zone, with permission,” Hornbeck added.

After that, families living within an as-yet-undefined “super zone,” which could cover much of the Southeast, could be admitted by lottery.

Later, if space remains, families living within Baltimore City could be offered slots through an additional lottery.

“We are just at the beginning of getting our ideas in front of community groups and need to reach out to the schools in the affected areas,” Hornbeck said.

“The earliest anything might happen is August 2018, and that is ambitious. So there is plenty of time to get it right.”

If HHA is not allowed to expand into the Highland Ave. building, the city could create a new city school on the site and run it itself, or hire an operator.

City Schools held a community meeting two weeks ago to discuss options for a new school in the Southeast. Alison Perkins-Cohen, director of the Office of New Initiatives, said that City Schools is still processing the feedback.

“Based on those discussions, we’ll reach out to the community with the next steps,”she said.

next 4-6 months, so a decision would be made by the end of the year.

“The expansion could ultimately serve between 700-900 new students,” Hornbeck said

The idea is for HHA to have two campuses–an HHA lower school and an HHA middle school. The two school buildings are about a half-mile apart.

A city school with two “campuses” is not unprecedented in Baltimore.

While Baltimore City’s Moravia Park Elementary and Middle has two buildings with two separate addresses and one principal, it is still not common for one school to have two buildings, Hornbeck explained.

He said there are many ideas on the table as to what shape such a dual-campus school could take.

One option is for the HHA lower school to house about 80 two- and three-year-olds in a program called a Judith P. Hoyer Early Child Care and Family Education Centers (also known as Judy Centers), as well as five or six homerooms in each grade from pre-k–grade 5, for a total of 800-900 younger students.

Judy Centers are located in Title 1 schools and promote school readiness through collaboration with community-based agencies, organizations, and businesses.

According to the Maryland State Department of Education’s web site, Judy Center services are typically available 10–12 hours a day, year round, and focus on students who for various reasons (such as language barriers and poverty) are more likely to enter school at a deficit. The Judy Center is a program designed by the late Judy Hoyer (wife of Steny Hoyer, who represents Maryland’s 5th congressional district).

One option for the HHA middle school campus--if it were located at HHA’s current site--would be serving grades 6-8, with a capacity of about 600 students. There would be room in the middle school for an accelerated International Baccalaureate (IB) or Ingenuity Program--depending on community interest, Hornbeck said.

An IB middle-years program would offer middle schoolers the opportunity to explore the liberal arts at a high level, with an international focus.

The Ingenuity Program would offer admitted higher-ability students accelerated math and science courses. Admission requirements on Ingenuity’s website say middle schoolers would need to score in the 80th national percentile or above in reading and math on national standardized tests, or score in the “proficient”-to-”advanced” range

(First day of the Divine Mercy Novena)

On April 27th, 2014 at the Archdiocesan Shrine of Divine Mercy at Holy Rosary Church, located at 408 S. Chester Street, in Baltimore, MD 21231, there will be a Mass celebrating Divine Mercy Sunday as well as a day of Thanksgiving for the canonization of Popes John XXIII and John Paul II. This special Mass offers many blessings to all who attend and fulfi ll the Divine Mercy obligations of making a good confession, attending Mass and praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet— all of which will be available. End your day beautifully and meet with Jesus in the Eucharist at our regularly scheduled daily evening Mass on weekdays at 6:30p.m.Holy Rosary Church is very blessed with having three fi rst-class relics: that of St. Faustina, of Blessed John Paul II who canonized St. Faustina in 2000, and of Blessed Michael Sopocko who was her confessor. Holy Rosary is also the church where Fr. Ronald Pytel received the miracle that brought about the canonization of St. Faustina and where Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass while he was still the Bishop of Krakow in 1978.To honor this special day in the Catholic Church and in the hearts of all Poles, Holy Rosary will begin a 3 day celebration starting on Friday April 25th with Adoration and ending on Sunday April 27th with a Mass celebrated by Bishop Rozanski, joined by priests from Baltimore, some originally from Poland. The Divine Mercy Novena which consists of reciting the Divine Mercy chaplet , will begin on Good Friday at 6:30p.m. and continue daily at that time for 9 days. A highlight of this celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday and of our Popes, will be the one-woman performance of “St. Faustina-Messenger of Mercy” by world renowned singer and performer Nancy Scimone. In an interview with the Catholic Exchange, Ms. Scimone is quoted as saying , “Through this performance, I desire to portray both the chosen soul who receives extraordinary graces, as well as, the soul who, like each of us seeks to know, love and serve our Lord.

The parking situation in Canton is apparently getting desperate. On Foster Ave. near Linwood, someone spray-painted over a “No Stopping” sign and also spray-painted a white line on the pavement to indicate a parking space where there was none. Various cars have parked in the fake space; as far as the Baltimore Guide can tell, the van pictured here had nothing to do with the alteration.

Act of vandalism creates bogus parking spot
