Highlandtown is apparently the neighborhood that everyone likes to dump on, but residents aren’t going to take it anymore.
Monday night, the Highlandtown Community Association invited representatives from the Department of Public Works as well as Baltimore Housing to explain their roles in mitigating and preventing illegal dumping, and the association discussed some prevention strategies of its own.

backside, because we’re spending a lot of tax dollars,” mused Brian Sweeney, HCA president.
Maria Bhatti and Brandi Welsh, community liaisons with DPW, outlined steps their department is taking against dumping. An official letter from DPW will be sent to addresses within a Highlandtown target area, informing residents, in English and Spanish, of the proper means of disposing of their trash.
The property at 511 S. Caroline St. was rezoned from residential to commercial last week at a hearing at City Hall. Mark Fitzgerald, who wants to buy the property, sought the re-zoning, and plans to turn the building into a bicycle-themed cafe.
The land, which, according to a Planning Commission report in support of the rezone houses a “warehouse structure,” was rezoned because of substantial changes that have occurred in Fells Point since 2007, the year of the last comprehensive rezoning.
These changes include a 30-percent increase in population between the 2000 and 2010 censuses, and a general shift away from older industrial uses toward mixed-use developments.

The following is a press release from the mayor’s office:
On Sunday, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake was discharged from the University of Maryland Medical Center after a brief stay due to chest pains and shortness of breath. The mayor was admitted Saturday evening, during which time doctors performed a series of tests to assess her medical condition. After staying in the hospital overnight, she was discharged earlier this afternoon and is now resting at home with her family by her side. The mayor’s office will provide updates regarding when the Mayor will resume her public schedule.
In response, the mayor issued the following statement:
“I would like to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes during my hospital
The Baltimore Citizen Survey is now open, and will close Sept. 29.
According to the city’s Bureau of the Budget and Management Research website, bbmr.baltimorecity.gov, the survey was fi rst implemented in 2009 and “aims to identify trends in behavior and attitudes regarding quality of life indicators and city services,” with the goal of creating “more focused, responsive and effi cient government services.”
The survey queries residents on their levels of satisfaction with city services, such as police services and trash pick-up, as well as city amenities such as parks, streets and sidewalks.
It also asks residents the single most important thing the city can do for them, as well as what priorities they would be willing to pay more in taxes for.
The survey is available in English and Spanish at bbmr.baltimorecity.gov.
Residents were evacuated from the 2400 block of Fleet St. last Thursday, Sept. 11, following a gas leak.
The block was closed to through traffic and a strong gas smell was in the air when the Guide visited the scene in the late morning hours.
Fire Department spokesman Ian Brennan said that “somebody doing work hit a line, and it caused a gas leak.” “In an abundance of caution, we evacuated all the residents adjacent to the leak and checked all buildings’ levels to ensure the safety of citizens,” he continued.
Brennan said that a BGE crew repaired the gas leak, which he said was “under control” by early afternoon. The 2400 block of Fleet remained closed to traffic into the evening hours.
Brennan said that the Fire Department’s response to the leak included a hazmat team, several companies, “a couple battalion chiefs and shift commanders.”
“The commanders were going door-to-door,” Brennan said. “We needed a lot of manpower to ensure people were safe.”

For the past several days, I had been struggling with a case of bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection. I pushed myself a bit too hard, given all the excitement around Star Spangled Spectacular and the tremendous opportunity the festivities presented to showcase the very best of Baltimore. After it became more difficult to catch my breath, I requested to go to the hospital for medical care. I am now home and resting comfortably.

be located at 510 S. Eden St., as well as new construction, including Harbor Point and the Hyatt Place hotel under construction at 511 S. Central Ave., scheduled to open this November.
Many who attended the hearing and live in the Fell’s Point area were supportive of the rezoning—and the bike café concept—however a vocal minority sparked debate.
Some Fell’s Point residents, joined by activists from elsewhere in the city, opposed on principle what they called “spot” rezoning.
“This sets a terrible precedent for Fell’s Point,” said Denise Whitman, a Fell’s Point resident.
Others opposed the rezoning for fear that a restaurant licensed to sell alcohol—which the café plans to become—will bring yet another liquor license to Fell’s Point, which they believe is already over-saturated.
Another bone of contention was that the Planning Commission’s recommendation to rezone 511 S. Caroline is not in keeping with Transform Baltimore’s—the city’s ongoing citywide rezoning initiative—which is residential.
The legislation was controversial in another way.
City Councilman James Kraft, who attended the hearing and sponsored the rezoning bill, said he did so against the wishes of the Douglass Place Residents Association, the community association closest to 511 S. Caroline St.
“I believe this is the first piece of legislation I introduced where I have not gotten a letter of support from the community association most immediately impacted,” Kraft said.
“I did this based on a series of occurrences with me and my staff. I didn’t think the re-zoning applicant [Mark Fitzgerald] had an opportunity to fully and fairly present his case to the neighborhood.”
In a follow-up conversation, Kraft’s chief of
staff, Emily Sherman, explained further. “It took months for the applicant to get a meeting with the association, and when he did, the turnout was very small and many proxy votes [from members not in attendance] were taken,” Sherman said.
“The association, [one of the smaller community associations in the Southeast] had a very different opinion on the re-zoning than a number of residents in the area, and those residents, who are not necessarily members of the association, have opinions that do matter.”
The Fell’s Point Residents Association, the largest community association in Fell’s Point, did vote to support the rezoning.
Fitzgerald said he looked at 25 locations and thought 511 S. Caroline was the best.
The café will target the serious cycling community as well as tourists, visitors and biking families.
Although the bike café concept is common on the west coast, HandleBar will be the first bike café in Baltimore.
Also noteworthy at the hearing was the City Council’s attempt to rezone the remainder of the block face (503, 505, 507, 515, 517, 519,521, 523, 525,527,529 and 531 S. Caroline) from residential to commercial, using the same rationale.
The Planning Commission had recommended that an amendment be added to the 511 S. Caroline rezoning bill that included all those properties. The amendment was added.
A representative of John Paterakis, who owns H&S Bakery and developed Harbor East—and owns 531 S. Caroline—was at the hearing.
The council, however, decided to remove that amendment from the bill before passing it.
“We need to do the rest, but we need a separate bill, “ Kraft said.
“I will sponsor it.”

Beware of Home Inspection PitfallsBefore You Put Your Home Up for Sale
Baltimore - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.
Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable
pre-inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.
To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

Teens on scooter hurt in accident with bus
According to people at the scene, two teenagers were taken to the hospital on Friday, Sept. 12, after the motor scooter they were riding was hit by an MTA bus in a Highlandtown accident.
The accident reportedly happened at approximately 11:24 a.m. this morning, according to police, at the intersection of S. East Ave. and Bank St.
Hugo Garcia, who was nearby when the accident occurred, said that he heard the sound of the impact, and then the scraping sound of the motor scooter being pushed by the bus as the bus came to a stop.
Maryland Transit Authority spokesperson Paulette Austrich said that the accident occurred, at “around 11:50 a.m.,” and that the two males on the scooter were taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital after colliding with the Number 13 bus.
She said that the Baltimore Police Department was handling the investigation. Earlier, the Guide had spoken to the Baltimore Police’s media relations office, which had referred our inquiry to the MTA.
Garcia said that several eyewitnesses, including passengers on the bus, said that the scooter had been traveling westbound on

Bank St.--which is one-way, eastbound--and the bus was traveling south on S. East Ave. At the scene, several bystanders said that the scooter did not stop before moving into S. East Ave., where it was hit by the bus, the impact sending one of the teens in the air over cars parked along the west side of the 400 block of S. East Ave., and the other underneath a car parked on the west side of the 400 block of S. East Ave., at Bank St.
A sneaker was visible near the front driver-side tire of the car under which the teen was reportedly trapped.
“People on the bus told me they thought it was only one kid on the scooter until they saw the other one under the car,” said Roger Dimick, at the scene.
Dimick said that residents of the 400 block of S. East Ave. came out of their homes to help after hearing the impact.
The passenger-side panel of the bus’s front windshield was cracked in a spiderweb pattern. Witnesses said that the teen who was thrown onto the sidewalk appeared to be injured more severely than the teen who ended up under the car.
Attempts to obtain the conditions and ages of the teens involved were unsuccessful, as neither the Fire Department nor the Police Department would release this information.

Remembering Hampstead Hill 200 years later
Two hundred years ago, 15,000 residents and militia members made a stand on Hampstead Hill (now Pagoda Hill in Patterson Park) and faced down would-be British invaders.
One hundred years ago, Baltimore celebrated the centennial of that event, with cannon fire and activities in Patterson Park.
Last Sunday, the city celebrated the bicentennial. Folks in historic dress strolled Pagoda Hill. Lecturers lectured in period costume. Bands played, and a rock opera recounted the events of 1814. Cannons fired.
Who knows how we will commemorate the defense of Baltimore in another 100 years? Maybe we’ll all stay home and experience it virtually, or maybe we’ll be able to rent drones for audio/visual tours.

the community of Fell’s Point,” said Lisicky.Trautwein recounted a walk with his dog,
Duffy, who insisted on exploring the overgrown lots behind the George Wells House and the London Coffee House, two 1700s-era structures near the intersection of Bond and Thames streets. Hidden in the rear of the buildings were orange demolition notices posted by the city.
“I went to Romaine and the Preservation Society and said, ‘Hey look, this is what’s going on,’” remembered Trautwein. “It was through some meetings there and Romaine’s initiative that we were able to save those two structures.”
were couple Vince Peranio and Delores Deluxe, creators of the legendary “Palace on Dallas,” their lair of inter-connected and thoroughly decorated rowhomes on Dallas St.
Peranio has had a long career as a set designer and production designer for TV and film, especially those shows and movies with a Baltimore connection, including “Homicide: Life on the Street,” “The Wire,” and all things John Waters.
“You were one of a group of eight artists that established a spiritual home at the former bakery on Broadway,” Lisicky told Peranio.
He commended Deluxe for ensuring that the neighborhood was “fixed up and filled up, the ‘Deluxe way.’”
On the minds of their neighbors, according to Lisicky:
“How long will they survive the slings and arrows of this alcoholics’ Disneyland?”
Deluxe and Peranio remain to this day, “pioneers, rescuers and longtime advocates of Fell’s Point,” he added.
Peranio said that he originally came to Fell’s because rent was low and “nobody cared.”
“It was that freedom of Fell’s Point that always drew me to it,” he said.
Also receiving recognition for Lifetime Achievement was Romaine Somerville, a longtime past president of the Preservation Society.
“Her knowledge of history I couldn’t even begin to speak educatedly about,” commented Lisicky, reading from a nomination form that had noted Somerville’s scrambling to save historic artifacts and antiques during the 1999 fire at the Robert Long House, the oldest residential home in Baltimore, on S. Ann St. near Thames St.
“What you did embodies how we live here in
It was an eclectic cast of characters honored at this year’s Selfless Community Service awards, a ceremony held every Sept. 11 on Broadway Square in Fell’s Point.
A couple whose names flash on movie credits, a well-known community activist, and an advocate for Fell’s Point history received honors from two men dressed in tri-corner hats and the garb of the early 1800s.
Jack Trautwein, one of the hat-wearers who shares Fell’s Point Towne Crier duties with Michael Lisicky, explained to the several dozen bystanders that the ceremony began a couple days after Sept. 11, 2001, when residents and friends gathered in Broadway Square to ruminate and share each others’ company.
The bravery and “selfless” acts of the first responders to the attack inspired the group of Fell’s Pointers.
“We vividly saw such selfless acts 13 years ago,” remembered Trautwein.
He went on to describe the sacrifices made by Marylanders 200 years ago, in the face of a British invasion.
“Those who lived 200 years ago answered a call to defend their city, their state, their nation, against the British aggression,” he said. “Many paid the cost with their lives.”
A neighborhood like Fell’s Point is not without present-day people willing to work hard and sacrifice to make life better for their neighbors and the character of the area as a whole, Trautwein continued.
Lisicky then announced that Joanne Masopust, president of the Fell’s Point Community Organization, would receive this year’s Selfless Community Service Award for “making sure that all our community groups work together, if not in complete harmony.”
Lisicky noted that, as talks for Red Line heated up, Masopust organized a meeting between the Fell’s Point Community Organization, the Fell’s Point Residents Association, Fell’s Point Main Street and representatives from the Maryland Transit Authority. Following that meeting, Lisicky said, the MTA accepted the groups’ recommendation that the train tunnel under the historic neighborhood, rather than run through the streets.
“This was the beginning of Joanne’s efforts to get us all to play nice with each other,” Lisicky added.
Masopust, who moved to Fell’s Point in 1979, said that the honor meant more to her “than you can know.” “In my heart I know this is exactly what I should be doing at this time in my life,” she added.
Receiving Lifetime Achievement awards
Somerville recounted her first experience with Fell’s Point. It was 1960, and she decided to do something “offbeat” to celebrate her new job at the Baltimore Museum. She set her heart on getting her ears pieced, and the only place that she could find to do it was a Broadway jeweler.
“I found myself here on Broadway, and I found myself in love,” Somerville said.
The names of the winners of the 9-11 awards are etched on a plaque that may be viewed in the Fell’s Point Visitor Center, 1724 Thames St.

Ceremony honors defenders of Baltimore“Good God, what brave fellows I must this
day lose.” That is what Gen. George Washington said about the Fifth Maryland as they fixed bayonets and charged during the Battle for Brooklyn Heights of the Revolutionary War, according to Alan Walden.
Walden was presiding over a ceremony remembering a different war, when he presented Washington’s quote, but the ceremony was honoring the same unit, the 175th Infantry Unit, also known as the Fifth Maryland.
Last Thursday, Sept. 11, dignitaries including Gov. Martin O’Malley and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, as well as Maj. Gen. James A. Adkins, head of operations for the Maryland Military Department, joined hundreds of troops from the Maryland Army National Guard to remember the March of the Defenders, in which militia from across the state and beyond mustered to protect the City of Baltimore from imminent British invasion, two years into the War of 1812.
The 175th Infantry Regiment mustered in Patterson Park, near the Pagoda (once known as Rodger’s Bastion in Hampstead Hill), before marching along Eastern Ave., turning onto North Point Rd., and re-assembling at Battle Acre in Dundalk.
Vince Vaise, chief of interpretation at Ft. McHenry, said a few words during the pre-march ceremony.
“We see a city park, a neighborhood,” Vaise said. “But 200 years ago, this was where a last stand was to be made.”
He made note of an old saying, “He can talk that talk, but can he walk the walk?”
Speaking of the militia who defended Baltimore, starting at the Battle of North Point immediately after the British landed, Vaise said: “These people walked that walk.” He personalized the Battle of North Point by making note of several individuals, such as
John Pendleton Kennedy. “He walked that walk and came back and
became a prominent Congressman.”Uriah Prosser was a Revolutionary War
veteran in his 70s when the British landed. “He died fighting alongside his son at the
Battle of North Point,” Vaise said. The historian noted that the militia men did
not know how many British had landed, but probably heard all kinds of rumors.
“10,000 Red Coats! 15,000 are landing!” said Vaise. “[The militia] held that line, and they cost the British 300 casualties.”
Vaise observed students from Patterson Park Public Charter School, in the park to observe the ceremony. At the 250th anniversary of the War of 1812, Vaise mused, “one of them will probably be an adjutant general, a mayor, a governor—I can see it in their eyes, one of them is going to make it.”
“One thing that has always bothered me about Ranger Vince Vaise is his lack of enthusiasm,” quipped Walden, himself a longtime broadcast journalist.
Gov. O’Malley spoke about the community spirit that brought ordinary Baltimoreans together to build the defenses that would eventually be a psychological hurdle too high for the invading British, who chose to turn around and head back to their ships.
“When they looked out and saw the well-trained horsemen doing maneuvers, and the black and white people of Baltimore in these trenches, with the soldiers, they held up,” said O’Malley.
Mayor Rawlings-Blake concurred:“Our citizens are dedicated and resilient,”
she said, “no different than they were 200 years ago. All of these events have led up to this—the resilience of the people, that relentless determination.”

Art carts are as artistic as they are functional. | Photo by Erik Zygmont
The All Ages Art Cart Derby and Art by the Pint is nigh.
The Highlandtown event, in which participants race their home-built “art carts” down the Gough St. hill, from the Laughing Pint to DiPasquale’s Italian Market, is Saturday, Sept. 20, 1-6 p.m.
There are more opportunities for carts to shine this year, says Amanda Smit-Peters, Highlandtown Main Street manager for the Southeast Community Development Corp., which is presenting the race in partnership with the Creative Alliance and Banner Neighborhoods.
Don’t have the fastest or prettiest art cart? You can still win a prize. This year’s categories include “Tortoise Award,” “Silliest,” “Most Spectacular Failure,” “Best Team Bio” and more.
For those more into the artistic aspect of building a cart, this year’s derby will include a pre-race procession of art carts, affording spectators a better view of the creations.
The Art by the Pint component of the afternoon is a celebration of local art hosted by the Laughing Pint. Exhibiting artists include Martha Simons, Rebecca Rothey, Katie Pumphrey, Laura Vernon Russell and Ronald Russell.
Time for the Gough St. plunge; Art Cart Derby is September 20
Piecework, a group of artists who get together to collaborate and bounce ideas off each other, are returning this year, blending performance art with wearable art as they churn out paper hats assembly- style. The hats will be folded from paper adorned with the artwork of Piecework members, and can be kept as souvenirs in hat form or unfolded and framed.
Musical entertainment is also on tap for the day, with DJ 5 Starr and the Stone Hill All Stars scheduled to perform, in addition to a dance performance by Baltimore Dance Crews Project.
Expect to meet some old-timers, who may have stories to share.
“A lot of the older generation sees these carts and they’re reminded,” says Matt Saindon, a founder of the derby. “They show me these scars--’Oh, I got this one when I couldn’t make the turn at the end of Number 9 Hill.’”
Saindon says that the event is supposed to be accessible and, overall, fun.
“We’re not talking statue of David,” he says. “We’re talking cardboard sculpture.”
The Art Cart Derby and Art by the Pint is sponsored by the Baltimore Community Foundation, the Highlandtown Business Association and BayBank. For more information, find “Art Cart Derby and Art by the Pint” on Facebook, or visit south eastcdc.org.
BALTIMORE GUIDE 13WEDNESDAY, SEpTEMBER 17, 2014
A dream realized: City Springs gets athletic field, trackRhonda Richetta, principal of City Springs
Elementary and Middle School, remembers gazing at the “dilapidated” playground and vacant lots behind her school.
“Before I would turn around and go into the building every morning, I would say, ‘One day...’” she said.
That “one day” was Monday, when Richetta joined other officials, dignitaries and personalities to cut the ribbon on City Springs’ new community athletic complex, which includes a purple, turf field and encircling running track.
“I consider myself a scholar-athlete, and that’s why I’m very glad to get this athletic complex,” remarked Demetrius Ellis, a City Springs eighth grader. “It’s a sign of hope.”
His classmate, Chelsea Gilmer, grade 7, said that the complex is about more than athletics.
“Even though I’m not an athlete, I like the idea of sports to motivate students to do better in school,” she said.
According to press materials provided by Baltimore Curriculum Project, the charter operator behind City Springs as well as two other Southeast schools, Wolfe Street Academy and Hampstead Hill Academy, the idea behind the complex was conceived in 2007 when “a
group of students presented Principal Rhonda Richetta with a petition at the school’s daily morning assembly.
“The petition urged Principal Richetta to repair the run-down field, playground and basketball courts next to the school so that students would have a safe place to play.”
The story goes that it was a 2012 article in the Baltimore Sun about the school’s dream that piqued State Sen. Nathaniel McFadden’s interest and jump-started the campaign to get it built.
McFadden said that it was community activist Irona Pope who motivated him to stay on task.
“I was one of those youngsters out there,” said McFadden. “We didn’t have fancy uniforms...we didn’t have uniforms at all.”
He said that he wanted more for students at City Springs.
“It hit me real quick on the way to church: ‘McFadden, something has to be done,’” said the state senator.
The field will be used for football, soccer, lacrosse and baseball. The running track may be utilized by members of the community who wish to get some exercise, jogging or walking.
According to the press materials, McFadden secured an “anonymous” $50,000 donation in

seed money for the project. McFadden himself said at Monday’s ceremony that he “called a friend, Whiting and Turner construction company.”
Once the ball got rolling, Baltimore City Public Schools agreed to support the project, Legg Mason held a fund-raiser, and State Sen. Bill Ferguson sponsored efforts to secure a $55,000 State Capital Grant for the project, all in addition to individual donations.
Ferguson said that soon after he was elected in 2010, he was invited by Richetta to meet with some parents from City Springs. To his political advisor’s chagrin, the senator impulsively expressed a commitment to get
the field built, he said, adding that the thought in his head was:
“If we can’t do something as no-brainer as this, then why in the heck am I even in this job?”
Big money came from the Baltimore Ravens, who kicked in $200,000 as part of the National Football League/LISC Grassroots Program, which, per the press materials “identifies local, nonprofit, neighborhood-based agencies that have an interest in building or refurbishing football fields in schools and parks in underserved neighborhoods.”
Said Dick Cass, president of the Baltimore Ravens: “We try to make the lives of young people better; we’re committed to it, and we’re going to keep doing it. I just wish I had considered purple on the field at our stadium.”
He also commended the players of the Baltimore Ravens, specifically Justin Tucker and Morgan Fox, for using their one day off per week to engage with the community.
The ribbon cutting was chock-full of elected officials, most of whom had something to say:
“It made me kind of emotional, because I thought of growing up in Baltimore—as Senator McFadden and Carl Stokes will testify, you didn’t actually have a field,” said Representative Elijah Cummings. “You didn’t play on grass; you played on glass...literally.”
“Wow—what working together can do,” exclaimed City Council President Jack Young. “This is your house,” he told City Springs students. “Make sure you don’t let anyone come in and destroy your house. Protect this house.”
City Councilman Carl Stokes thanked the students “for doing the courageous things they do—getting up, leaving a neighborhood worse than most of us can imagine...Yet they come to school with their hope and their spirit intact.”
“Our community is all we have,” said City Schools CEO Gregory Thornton. “I won’t say mission accomplished—it’s mission to be continued.”
14 BALTIMORE GUIDE WEDNESDAY, SEpTEMBER 17, 2014
Last week the Baltimore Orioles received some bad news that slugging first baseman Chris Davis would be suspended 25 games due to amphetamine use.
I wouldn’t rush to judgment on Davis.First off, the amphetamine for which he
tested positive was Adderall, a drug used in treatment of attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Davis has actually had a therapeutic use exemption for that drug in the past, but did not receive a waiver from Major League Baseball to use the drug this season. According to Jon Heyman from CBS, Davis lost that waiver before the 2013 season, but MLB ruled that he would no longer have their approval for use of Adderall.
Before I go further, I’d like to take a step back and look at what ADD actually is. According to “Driven to Distraction,” a book by Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey, both M.D.s, ADD is a chronic disturbance in which at least 15 of a list of symptoms are present. These symptoms include difficulty getting organized, intolerance of boredom, distractibility, impatience and more.
In the case of Chris Davis, only he and his doctor know the real reason he was taking Adderall, but ADD is a legitimate condition. If you have suffered with it, you’ll know what I’m talking about. According to Heyman’s report on Davis, he had told friends that he “couldn’t see the baseball” and that it was a “blur.”
ADD can be exacerbated when in a stressful situation.
Take into consideration the fact that he was dealing with an intercostal injury, he and his wife had a baby earlier in the year, and he was just plain struggling at the plate this season, with his batting average currently under .200 (.197 to be exact).
One note of concern is that doctors estimate 4.4 percent of the general adult population suffers from ADD and other disorders for which Adderall would be prescribed to help. This year in Major League Baseball, about 9.9 percent of players have provided the league with a note from their doctor stating that they need that particular medicine. While the percentage is double that of in the general population, that does not mean Davis is trying to beat the system. If he really was having issues focusing, then a drug like Adderall
would help in his case. The down side to all of this is there is no
definitive way to tell if he, or anyone for that matter, truly has ADD. It’s not like testing for high cholesterol where you can get a blood sample. This is something that you need to be honest with yourself about and work with a psychiatrist to find a way to treat those symptoms, often with medication and psychotherapy (coaching mostly).
As I said earlier, the only people that really know are Davis and his doctor, but in reality, it’s Davis who really knows for sure. Having had the pleasure to meet him a couple of times, he has always been a pleasant person willing to answer any questions, and if you consider what he told his friends about not being able to see the ball and focus, then maybe this was an honest mistake.
And if he forgot to simply fill out the paperwork to allow him to take Adderall, that just makes even more sense in his favor: taking a medicine to help him remember to fill out paperwork so he can take that medicine.
Let’s take Davis at his word on this one.

Welsh said that one part of the message is “Get one of these, or get one of these.” The first “these” refers to a trash can, the second to a citation.
It’s not just about educating residents.“We’ve also been told that DPW crews
aren’t doing the right thing, and we definitely need to address that,” Welsh said.
She was referring to “staging,” a prohibited trash collecting practice in which workers arrive at a block before the truck arrives, remove the all the trash bags from their cans, and pile them in a central location for easy pick-up upon the truck’s arrival.
The problem with trash staging, Welsh said, is that it leads neighbors to think, ”Oh we know the trash guys are going to put it here, so we’ll take our trash and put it right here.”
Late pickup for bulk items can cause similar problems, said resident Mark Parker, pastor of Breath of God Lutheran Church. He noted that several acquaintances who had requested pick-up for bulk trash items found that the arranged pick up time had come and gone and the items were still in the alley.
DPW’s response was “Somebody really messed up; we’re really backed up; it’ll be gone in a week,” Parker said. From other residents, the response was “Oh, this is where we dump stuff,” and the pile grew.
Parker also relayed an experience he had had with a sanitation inspector. When 311 was called to complain about residents putting out trash in bags without cans, the inspector, according to Parker, said that citations aren’t given on trash day, because circumstances beyond residents’ control—wind blowing away trash can lids, for example—often occur.
The problem with that policy, Parker pointed out, is that residents who put out trash without cans typically only do so on trash day, so that is the only opportunity to put a stop to that behavior.
Shirley Edmond, Assistant Supervisor of Code Enforcement, said that her department does not cite for missing lids, because they do often blow away. However, she said, “if you put trash bags out alone, we’re going to cite you,” whether or not it’s trash day.
She added that citations are given for overflowing cans.
The problem of trash bags without cans, which attract rats, came up several times during the meeting.
Sweeney asked the DPW liaisons if there was a way for the city to give trashcans to residents that don’t have them.
Welsh replied that DPW does not currently give away trash cans, though there is a “municipal can pilot program” currently underway in the Bel Air Edison and Mondawin neighborhoods in which residents are given large green trash cans with attached lids. The cans also have microchips embedded in them, Welsh said, which cuts down on trash-can theft.
“It’s working pretty well in those areas,” she said.
Sweeney asked if there was a way to get the pilot program in Highlandtown, and Welsh suggested that residents could email DPW Director Rudolph Chow, [email protected], and request to be added to the pilot program.
At one point in the conversation, Evan Helfrich, a lawyer who prosecutes code violations for Baltimore Housing, noted that it is the property owners—not the tenants—who are responsible for providing trash cans for a residence. Hence, he said, “I can’t afford a trash can” is not really a valid argument, except for elderly homeowners.
As for preventing illegal dumping on the front end, Helfrich noted that Baltimore Housing has recently activated a “special investigations unit” equipped with cameras that can be moved to different problem areas to get dumpers’ license plate numbers and vehicle information.
“It’s been working pretty well,” he said, adding that once the dumpers are identified, criminal charges may be field.
Helfrich said that the bulk of violation notices he issues are n response to complaints that come through the city’s 311 system, which he advised residents to use.
He also encouraged residents to reach out to the landlords of problematic properties. When some residents noted that finding a landlord for a specific property can be quite difficult, Helfrich said that the city has a property registration system, and are required to give property owners’ contact information to residents of the same block, if requested.
