Community events for 1812 dig to start tomorrowBY ERIK [email protected]
As spring draws near, plans for the upcoming archeological dig in Patterson Park, officially dubbed “We Dig Hampstead Hill,” are taking shape.
Johns Hopkins, executive director of Baltimore Heritage, the organization at the head of the project, says that archeologists are, first and foremost, searching for the fortifications that men, women and children, faced with a British invasion, erected 200 years ago in what is now Patterson Park.The sight of these fortifications, as well asthe 10,000 defenders assembled, made the British reconsider their plans to take Baltimore by land.
“They were digging huge trenches, and then piling up the dirt into berms,” said Hopkins, adding that the defenders added “logs and rocks and whatever they could find” to the dirt piles.
The fortifications stood for over 100 years, until the park was re-graded, Hopkins said.

Stephan Fogleman, chairman of the Baltimore City Board of Liquor License Commissioners, has been appointed judge at the city’s Orphans Court.
He will finish out the one-year term of Orphans Court Chief Judge Joyce Baylor-Thompson, who was appointed to the district, and he will run for a four-year term in the June election. Maryland Orphans Court is the state’s probate court and has jurisdiction over the guardianship of minors.
Fogleman’s judgeship was confirmed by the Senate last Friday, and by law, he must begin his new position within 30 days.
A general practice lawyer, he was appointed to the Liquor Board by Gov. Martin O’Malley in 2007, along with commissioners Elizabeth Smith and Harvey Jones. At that time, he concedes, he did not have any particular knowledge or experience with Maryland or Baltimore City liquor laws.
Fogleman recalls that his friends said that the Liquor Board work would be interesting and that he would be good at it--and that the board only met once a week.
“Little did I know how much the job would entail,” he said.
Fogleman said he did not come from a community activist background.
“So, I wasn’t used to dealing with problem bars on a regular basis. But I think that helped keep me balanced and objective. It’s definitely a fine balance though,” he said. “At the same time, as a Canton resident, I know how a problem bar can affect your whole life.”
As for his successor, he has no idea who will take his spot.
“I have no role in that process,” he said, but added that his departure is one of several changes on the horizon at the Liquor Board this year.
Douglas Paige was the board’s deputy executive secretary, but he took over Executive Secretary Sam Daniels’ job—the highest post in the administrative wing of the Liquor Board—when Daniels retired last year. Now, Paige is running for Baltimore City Register of Wills, and the process of hiring a permanent replacement for Daniels, a process with which Fogleman has been involved, is well underway.
Fogleman will leave the Liquor Board sometime between April 1 and April 10.
“That seems realistic, with April 15 at the outside,” he said. “A lot depends on the volume of cases at the board, and I also want to help see the liquor reform bill—the Alcoholic Beverages Act of 2014—through.”
Legally, there is no time line for appointing Fogleman’s replacement, though it is likely to occur soon.
Last call for Baltimore Beer Baronby DANIELLE SWEENEy [email protected]
While a two-commissioner board can hear cases, it has been the BLLC’s practice, at its discretion, to grant a postponement if a licensee would prefer to have their case heard by three.
Fogleman says he’ll miss the board’s work, but definitely not the drama.
“Not all of our decisions made people happy, but I feel like I leave the board better off than it was seven years ago. I am grateful to the public, the Liquor Board staff, the community groups–and even the lawyers who come before us—for having confidence in me and helping me to become a better hearing officer,” he said.
Fogleman has not decided whether he will pass on his cheeky Twitter moniker, @BaltoBeerBaron, (he is a homebrewer) to the new Liquor Board chair.
“It’s the board’s only recognizable link to modern technology,” he said, half-jokingly, of the board’s lack of social media presence.
“My tweets are the only way you can find out about board decisions that are not covered by the press, without attending the hearing or calling the office.”
Fogleman said that while he’ll soon be putting the board behind him, he’ll still be paying attention to its decisions.
“I live in the city. My name is associated with it. It’s my legacy. The board’s work is important to me.”

Youths steal phone from boy by Patterson dog parkby DANIELLE SWEENEy [email protected]
According to a Baltimore City Police incident report, a group of youths stole a cell phone from a 12-year-old boy in Patterson Park on March 21.
The boy was walking in the park near the Patterson Park Dog Park, in the 200 Block of Linwood Ave., when, according to the report, four male youths approached him and asked to see his phone, an iPhone 5.
When the boy took the phone out of his pocket, the youths reportedly took it and ran south on Linwood Ave.
The report says police responded to the call at approximately 3:10 p.m., and a canvas of the area for the suspects was negative.
The victim described the youths as black, ages 13-15, wearing blue shirts and khaki pants. He did not know them. The reports state that the suspects used no force, and no assault occurred. The incident has been classified as a larceny.
BALTIMORE GUIDE 3WEDNESDAY, MARch 26, 2014
by DANIELLE SWEENEy [email protected] Now, nobody is sure where they were, exactly.
In the coming weeks, Dr. Tim Horsley will be employing advanced underground detection techniques ”including ground-penetrating radar and magnetometry” to help the archeological team decide where to dig.
On Thursday, March 27, 6-7:30 p.m., Horsley will be giving a “show and tell” of the advanced, non-invasive archeological techniques he will be using. The event, which includes light refreshments, will be held at the Patterson Park White House, 27 S. Patterson Park Ave., near the intersection of Lombard St. and Patterson Park Ave. No registration is necessary.
In addition to the definitive location of the fortification itself, Hopkins says that archeologists are hoping to find artifacts left behind by the defenders. Not commonly known is the fact that militia members remained nervous and vigilant even after witnessing the British turn around. It was thought that the British plan B was an invasion of Pennsylvania, so many of the defenders headed in that direction.
“We’re hoping that there was a mad rush to switch stuff around from Patterson Park to the west,” said Hopkins, adding that such a “mad rush” would have resulted in dropped items and equipment.
In the search for those artifacts and the fortification itself, Baltimore Heritage and the archeological team are recruiting volunteers. On Tuesday, April 15, a volunteer workshop on archeological fieldwork will teach anyone interested in participating how to focus their efforts in hands-on archeological work, documentation and information sharing. The workshop, held in conjunction with the Archaeological Society of Maryland and the Maryland Historical Trust, is from 6:30-8:30 p.m., also at the Patterson Park
White House. Participants are asked first to officially register as We Dig Hampstead Hill volunteers, and then to sign up specifically for the workshop. Both sign-ups may be completed at baltimoreheritage.org.
We Dig Hampstead Hill is planning more education and outreach at upcoming Patterson Park events. At Dia del Nino, April 26, the team will offer tours and programs in English and Spanish to educate visitors on both the Battle of Baltimore and the archeological techniques being used to find its signature.
The group has also planned programs for the Kinetic Sculpture Race on May 3 and the Butchers Hill Flea Market on May 10.
“Basically, we know there’s going to be a whole bunch of people in the park on those days,” said Hopkins.
For more information on upcoming events, visit baltimoreheritage.org/events/.
Physical digging will take place April 10 through May 15, on a Tuesday-through-Saturday schedule. Park visitors will notice 3-foot by 5-foot test pits, up to 5 feet deep, as well as a thin trench for the buried earthworks. Digging will be done by shovel and trowel, and the team will not be using cars or trucks. When the process is complete, the pits will be filled in with the same dirt excavated from them, and the same sod will be replanted on top, says Hopkins, adding that there will be no permanent changes to the park.
We Dig Hampstead Hill is a partnership between Baltimore Heritage, the Friends of Patterson Park, the American Battlefield Protection Program, the Archeological Society of Maryland, Baltimore City Recreation and Parks, the Baltimore City Commission for Historic and Architectural Preservation, Baltimore National Heritage Area, Maryland Heritage Area Authority, and PNC Bank.
More information on the dig is available at baltimoreheritage.org. Questions may be addressed to [email protected], or call Baltimore Heritage at 410-332-9922.

The Fell’s Point Community Organization voted unanimously to support Sagamore Development Company’s proposal to renovate Fell’s Point’s recreation pier into a boutique hotel without including the Inner Harbor Promenade.
Adding to the Inner Harbor Promenade is a city requirement for every building on the water—the city’s goal is to extend the Inner Harbor Promenade from Canton to Locust Point—but it is not feasible, according to Sagamore.
As an alternative to the Promenade, Sagamore would widen and improve the sidewalk on Thames St. from Ann St. to Broadway.
FPCO members posed several questions to Sagamore’s development team, which presented at last Tuesday’s meeting, with regard to how the renovation and adaptive reuse project would affect the neighborhood during construction, and local parking when the hotel is complete.
“We have no place on site to park cars,” said Steven Siegel, a Sagamore representative, “but we do have a commitment for a 30-acre lot at Harbor Point. Valet parking will be the answer. The valet zone will be right out front on Thames St.”
FPCO President Joanne Masopust asked where the staging area would be for

construction, noting the impact of recent Broadway-area construction on residents and businesses.
“It will be on the pier itself,” said Todd Harvey of Beatty, Harvey, Coco Architects, part of the development team.
After the meeting, Masopust said the proposal received unanimous support from FPCO members.
“This was the best presentation we have heard, and this one seems likely to be completed as financing is not going to be an issue,” she said.
Patrick Sutton, an architect and designer for the project, describes the hotel as character-driven and one that would appeal to upscale travelers who appreciate historic cities.
“It is being designed just for this location, and people will book rooms at the hotel because of this neighborhood,” he said, adding that it will have a place for guests to enjoy cocktails—likely a whisky bar—and a front porch area where guests can look out over Thames St.
It will be reminiscent of Baltimore’s stoop sitting tradition, he said.
Sutton said that the operator for the hotel has not been chosen, and many details are yet to be determined, but the economic and social spinoffs of the 128-room hotel, for Fell’s Point, are obvious.

Bristol: Community asks board to reconsider decisionCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
week. Tavern licenses, per state law, are primarily for on-site consumption. Many city taverns don’t operate that way, though, and make more sales in package goods.
“His customers have been asking for this for years,” Hurdle said. “It will be a small bar, only five stools.”
One Bristol customer, V. Mitchell, who told the board she lives in Perkins Homes, said she’s been going to Bristol since the licensee opened in 2006.
“Where’s he’s at, it’s nice,” she said. “I’m there six days a week. If I could go there seven days a week, I would be there seven.”
Onta told the board that he plans to be open from 7 a.m.–2 a.m. daily.
In his letter of opposition, Kraft wrote that more alcohol is not something that the Broadway corridor needs.
“I have been working very hard since the late summer to assist the police department, the community, and the businesses to rebuild and strengthen the area north of the market along Broadway,” the Councilman wrote. ‘Granting this transfer flies directly in the face of what we are trying to do.”
At the hearing, Baltimore City Police Officer Larry Fasano of Southeast Neighborhood Services, who has worked in Fells Point for 17 years, testified that he has had to remove people passed out in front of Bristol Liquors over the years.
“Bristol does serve inebriants. I’ve personally brought it to their attention many times,” he said.
Hurdle asked Fasano how often people get drunk and stumble down the street elsewhere in Fells Point.
Fasano replied, “Every night.”Hurdle submitted a petition signed by over
400 people in support of Bristol Liquors becoming a tavern. He said that based on those signatures there is a demonstrated need in the community for another one and that community groups’ opposition reflected only
58 people who voted to oppose the transfer.Joanne Masopust, who testified on behalf
of the Fell’s Point Community Organization, told the board that not all of the signatures were from residents of the Fell’s Point area or had both first and last names and addresses.
Douglass Place, the Fell’s Point Residents Association, the Fell’s Prospect Community Association, and FPCO all sent letters in opposition to the transfer.
In a 2-1 vote, Commissioners Elizabeth Smith and Harvey Jones voted in support of the transfer. Chairman Stephan Fogleman voted to oppose.
Fogleman said the board granted the request because the licensee “had no real problems that our agents have discovered or that are on our radar.”
In addition, the licensee agreed that if granted a BD-7, the existing six-day liquor store license, when it is sold, would be transferred outside of Fells Point, resulting in no net gain of liquor licenses for the neighborhood.
Regarding the decision, Fogleman added: “I do believe residents have a right to self- determination, and I don’t find a public need or desire for this, but I’m in the minority here.”
Representatives from the four community associations told the Guide on Tuesday that they would be formally asking the Liquor Board for a reconsideration of its decision for multiple reasons, including that there is no demonstrable need for another BD-7 tavern in the community and that the tavern will provide no unique services. The groups say that 30 establishments licensed to sell alcohol after midnight and on Sunday are currently located within a four-block radius of Bristol Liquors.
Victor Corbin, president of Fell’s Prospect Community Association, said that to his knowledge, this is the first time a community group has asked the Liquor Board for a reconsideration in the last 10 years.

Baltimore City State’s Attorney Gregg Bernstein and Secretary of the Department of Juvenile Services Sam Abed made them-selves available to Southeast residents last Wednesday, in the wake of several wintertime incidents of violent crime, including a brutal assault and robbery on Jonathan Fogg and the murder of Kimberly Leto.
This was the second community meeting coordinated by Delegate Luke Clippinger (D-46) following Leto’s murder, which occurred inside of her S. Ellwood Ave. home on Jan. 31. The first meeting put Police Commissioner Anthony Batts and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake in front of about 500 residents at Breath of God Lutheran Church in Highlandtown, though about half the attendees had to overflow into the church basement.
Five weeks later, this most recent meeting at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church near Patterson Park brought out about a third of that turnout.
Abed—presumably brought to the meeting due to the large amount of Southeast crime perpetrated by youth—gave residents a sum-mary of his role overseeing the statewide agency responsible for youth in the juvenile justice system.
“When a youth does something wrong or gets arrested, generally that’s how we find our youth,” Abed said.
“We do the work a magistrate would do in the adult system,” he added, noting that that responsibility can include preparing charges for trial.
DJS is responsible for youth probation, Abed added.
“If a kid is committed to us, which is like sentencing, then we have treatment programs and try to rehabilitate them.”
Abed acknowledged that “folks get frus-trated” with the fact that juvenile matters—including criminal records—are kept confi-dential.
He noted that while sharing information with the Police Department and State’s Attorney’s Office are the two exceptions to that rule, “we just cannot disclose it to the public.”
Abed added that DJS has a worker “who provides information to them in real time” embedded with the Baltimore City Police Department.
Abed mentioned the department’s Violence Prevention Initiative. He said that the program
identifies and monitors those youth who are at high risk of becoming perpetrators or victims of violent crime and mandates weekly face-to-face meetings with these individuals.
Abed also introduced Dwain Johnson, director of the Baltimore City Department of Juvenile Services.
Abed summed up his opening remarks:“We strike that balance between public
safety, and I think we do a pretty good job of it,” he said. “In the end, anybody that is in the juvenile justice system is coming back to the community”
An audience member asked Abed, “What proactive ideas do you have to keep juveniles out of the prison system?”
Abed referenced the DJS Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative. He said that prior to his tenure, the state’s detention center was filled to capacity. He said that the though the center is meant for two types of juveniles, those that are a threat to the community and those who are a flight risk, it was also housing youth for other reasons.
“In some cases, we couldn’t find a parent to pick them up,” said Abed, “or, they got a placement in a program and we couldn’t find a treatment bed.”
Now, he said, DJS will “only use thesystem very judiciously, and only when it’s necessary.”
In doing so, the department has cut the detention center population in half, he said, and has room to take in juveniles being charged as adults, until the decision is madeto either continue that path or try them as juveniles.
“Fewer kids in detention means fewer kids going deeper into the system,” he added. “We want to make sure we don’t make kids worse by putting them through a system they don’t need, and also what we don’t want to do is criminalize normal adolescent behavior.”
A resident pointed out that Donald Vaughn, convicted of two Canton rapes in 2011, had been in the juvenile system as a lower-level offender.
“Obviously the system failed him,” she said. “He was let back out, and what started as quality-of-life offenses became a violence issue.”
Abed contended that while “deep-end anal-ysis” found that perpetrators of violent crime often had low level offenses as juveniles, “when you look at the entirety of those low-level offenders, the vast majority of them do not commit violence later.”

Long in the making, the Billie Holiday Project, an art initiative honoring the singer and her one-time home, the 200 block of S. Durham St. in Upper Fell’s Point, is nearly complete.
A block party celebrating the unveiling of the project is planned for Saturday, April 5, 12:30-4 p.m., on Gough St. between Wolfe St. and Ann St., as well as the 200 block of S. Durham St. Those portions of road will be closed to vehicle traffic, and the party will include live music from the Rhonda Robinson Quartet, including a Billie Holiday tribute singer, food from local restaurants, and vendors.
A ceremony at 2 p.m. will honor those who made the project possible, including PNC Bank with a $30,000 grant, local artists, and homeowners who agreed to have their homes adorned with Billie Holiday murals or painted screens. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and City Councilman Jim Kraft (D-1st) have planned to attend, Schwei says.
“I’ve been really happy about the support from the homeowners and the community,” he added.
Schwei says that children’s activities will be offered on the 300 block of S. Durham St. during the block party. The project includes five large murals depicting various stages in Holiday’s life, eight painted screens and a mosaic. Yet to be completed is a strip of Belgian block down the middle of the 200 block of S. Durham St. Originally, the block was to be renamed “Lady Day Way,” and those words were planned to be spelled out in block. Schwei said, however, that a federal regulation prohib-its text on road surfaces.
The goal of the project is to honor the singer, revitalize the block, and hopefully transform it into a tourist desti-nation.
“Over the years, I’m sure people will seek it out as they come to town,”
“It’s easy to look back and say, ‘Look at all these arrests,’” added Bernstein, jumping in. “But how do you distinguish that young person from the person who will continue to re-offend?”
A resident asked if DJS was providing mental health services to young offenders, and if their parents were required to partici-pate in their treatment programs. Abed answered that DJS has mental health workers in the detention center, and treat-ment service plans for detainees. He said that parents are “required” to participate, but they must do so voluntarily and can’t be compelled.
Bernstein speaksPrior to the question-and-answer period of
the meeting, Bernstein gave an update on the status of the Kimberly Leto case, in which Alonzo Gorham Ramos, 14, and Allen Pinkney, 16, face first degree murder and other charges. Both are being charged as adults, and face arraignment on Monday, March 31.
Bernstein said that Ramos “will undoubt-edly file” a transfer motion to move himself to the juvenile system.
“We are going to very aggressively oppose that motion,” Bernstein said. “We feel very strongly that he should be charged as an adult.”
A written question posed to Bernstein inquired as to whether there was a gang con-nection to Leto’s murder, and whether Ramos and Pinkney had a local “fence” for their stolen goods.
“Because it’s an ongoing case, at this time it’s really not appropriate for me to get into the evidence we’ve gathered,” Bernstein said.
The same questioner asked about the effective of community impact statements. A community impact statement is a written statement from a community to the court describing the impact a certain crime or criminal has had on the community.
“They are most effective after a convic-tion, when it comes time for sentencing,” Bernstein said.
He directed specific questions about com-munity impact statements to Tony Savage, director of communications and the public affairs office of the State’s Attorney’s Office.
A resident asked Bernstein what the State’s Attorney’s Office does about police brutality and “rogue cops,” and asked spe-cifically what he intends to do about the Anthony Anderson case, in which Anderson died while being arrested.
Crime: Bernstein speaksCONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 Block party for Billie, April 5
Schwei said. “I continue to be amazed at all of the people who know of her and her music, especially young people.”
He noted that the initiative’s Facebook page, “Baltimore Billie Holiday Project,” has collected over 800 followers, many of whom come from outside the city.
The block has already attracted visitors, Schwei added. “We’ve had people from Minnesota, Pennsylvania and other
places,” he said. “Some heard about it through friends and relatives; others just stumbled on it.”
Schwei added that he hopes to spread the word by creating Billie Holiday Project
pamphlets for hotel racks and making local visitors centers aware of the block.
While word is getting out, “there are still people who live really close who still have no awareness that this is going on,” he said.
The Billie Holiday Project was funded by a PNC Transformative Art Grant and the Upper Fell’s Point Improvement Association, administered by the Baltimore Office of Promotion and Arts,
with partner Fell’s Point Main Street.

Annabel Lee TavernHere at Annabel Lee, we’ve been in business
since 2007, and I’m happy to say that we have grown and blossomed in our fi rst six years.
I think people truly enjoy the Edgar Allan Poe theme. Our food, which I like to categorizeas “upscale comfort,” seems to strike a chord as well.
Everybody loves comfort! Rather than try to be cosmopolitan or “shi shi,” we embrace our Baltimore-ness.
As for the Poe theme, well, he is simply one of the great writers of all time. Though known for his horror stories, he was actually quite versatile, and we put special emphasis on the darkly romantic side of his work here. I know that his most famous piece is the poem “The Raven,” but I think that “Annabel Lee,” certainly dark but also very romantic, is his best work. Furthermore, it was the last thing he managed to complete before he died, and that makes it especially haunting.
Our most popular dishes are our duck fat fries, BBQ chicken, bacon nachos and crab cakes, all examples of upscale comfort! Our Poe-themed cocktail list has a devoted following, and beer lovers go for the Resurrection Ale.
We have two great annual events, focused on Poe of course. Every year on Oct. 7, the day that he died, we hold a wake for the Bard. We also celebrate his birth with a party on Jan. 19. These are fantastic events that I really look forward to every year. Poe “lives” here!
In summary, we are warm, cozy place that offers a consistently good product at a fair price and without pretense. Every day, our staff of 16 strives to make Annabel Lee the best little tavern that we can be.
And we want to keep it going. We take nothing for granted, and start each day with the goal of being the absolute best that we can! At some point we hope to expand to the second fl oor.

Laughing PintSince opening seven years ago, the Laughing Pint has
gradually developed a reputation as one of the city’s great bars. It didn’t get that way by following a formula.“We do not have televisions,” says owner Shannon Cassidy.
“We are a community meeting place where people interact, play games and mingle.”
One of those games is shuffl eboard--the Pint is one of the only places in the city where you can fi nd a table. There’s also pool and ping pong. On Monday night, a friendly game of trivia starts at 8 p.m.
Around opening time, 3 p.m., it’s a great place to get some work done at a leisurely pace, thanks to free wifi . Expect to eventually get distracted and wind up in a conversation about curing pickles or working dogs.
The Pint’s delicious and eclectic menu includes vegetarian items. Their no-meat cashew burger has managed to earn the carnivore seal of approval, though some add bacon to it.
The greyhound--made with fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice--might be the Pint’s signature cocktail. The bartenders can’t resist a mixing challenge, so you can get virtually anything you want, or didn’t know you wanted. Cassidy herself makes a mean ginger sidecar.
When you want to keep it simple, there’s always a compelling selection of rotating draft beers, bottles and cans, as well as red and white wines.
For its monthly art shows, cocktails, comfortably off-beat food, craft beers and conversation, the Laughing Pint has rapidly become a Highlandtown neoclassic.

Scooters Seafood CarryoutScooters Seafood Carryout has only been in
Fell’s Point for a little over four years, but our prior establishment, Scooters Restaurant and Lounge, opened in Elkridge in February 1995. When that property was sold, we decided to restart our family business in Fell’s Point, as we are from Baltimore.
I can honestly say that the word is now out about our crabs, and the future is looking bright. We’re different from any other crab house around. As soon as you walk in the doors, you’ll know by the atmosphere that our products are always fresh.
We have fi ve employees in addition to myself and my daughter Ruth, the backbone of our family business. When we are in a pinch, she brings her three children here.
We proudly serve our famous steamed crabs year-round. Shipped to us daily, our crabs are topped with Scooters homemade seafood seasoning and always steamed to perfection. I want the very best for my family and our customers.
Every day, I pick up the crabs, separate them, and steam them myself. I’m here seven days a week, open
to close, and take great pride in what I do. Our customers know that, and they value my honesty when it comes to our products.
Customers also love our chicken wings. Always fresh and never frozen, they take 15 minutes to cook and are never placed under a heat lamp.
We are your Mom-and-Pop neigh-borhood hot spot for great food – not just steamed crabs, but homemade soups, salads, and even fresh cuts of New York strip steak and snow crab legs. I guaranteethat if you try our food once you’ll be back again and again. Our customers come several times a week because they know we have nothing butthe best.
My goal is to see our family carryout live on long after I’m gone. I’m 75 now. I started this business
for my children, grandchildren, and now my great grandchildren, and it’s a place I call home. Please stop by my home anytime. We’re affordable, and I guarantee you will love what you eat. –Jimmy Kaitis

Scooters Seafood CarryoutScooters Seafood Carryout has only been in
Fell’s Point for a little over four years, but our prior establishment, Scooters Restaurant and Lounge, opened in Elkridge in February 1995. When that property was sold, we decided to restart our family business in Fell’s Point, as we are from Baltimore.
I can honestly say that the word is now out about our crabs, and the future is looking bright. We’re different from any other crab house around. As soon as you walk in the doors, you’ll know by the atmosphere that our products are always fresh.
We have fi ve employees in addition to myself and my daughter Ruth, the backbone of our family business. When we are in a pinch, she brings her three children here.
We proudly serve our famous steamed crabs year-round. Shipped to us daily, our crabs are topped with Scooters homemade seafood seasoning and always steamed to perfection. I want the very best for my family and our customers.
Every day, I pick up the crabs, separate them, and steam them myself. I’m here seven days a week, open
to close, and take great pride in what I do. Our customers know that, and they value my honesty when it comes to our products.
Customers also love our chicken wings. Always fresh and never frozen, they take 15 minutes to cook and are never placed under a heat lamp.
We are your Mom-and-Pop neigh-borhood hot spot for great food – not just steamed crabs, but homemade soups, salads, and even fresh cuts of New York strip steak and snow crab legs. I guaranteethat if you try our food once you’ll be back again and again. Our customers come several times a week because they know we have nothing butthe best.
My goal is to see our family carryout live on long after I’m gone. I’m 75 now. I started this business
for my children, grandchildren, and now my great grandchildren, and it’s a place I call home. Please stop by my home anytime. We’re affordable, and I guarantee you will love what you eat. –Jimmy Kaitis

What are heartworms? They are parasitic worms that live in the heart and pulmonary arteries. And yes, it sounds as bad as it is. Heartworm disease is serious and can be deadly, yet it’s completely preventable.
The culprit is that worldwide pest— the mosquito. Infected mosquitoes can transmit the disease to your pet, and it takes just one bite.
When the mosquito bites, it releases larvae into the tissue. They begin their journey and migrate into the blood vessels. They travel through the bloodstream, damaging arteries and organs, with the ultimate mission of making the heart their home. The larvae begin to develop into adult worms over the next 6-7 months, stressing the heart by restricting the pulmonary artery, which transports blood to the lungs. Symptoms include coughing, fatigue or intolerance to exercise, weight loss and listlessness. Although dogs are the most common host,
cats can also be infected. Unfortunately, cats show little to no symptoms; an infection may result in sudden death.
So, mosquitoes aren’t around all year in Maryland.
True. Fluffy, your 4-pound Chihuahua, never
goes outside. Ok. So why use heartworm preventative all
year, if at all? Well, there’s no 100-percent guarantee that your pet will never be bitten by a mosquito. And in the state of Maryland, there are four types of mosquitoes known to carry heartworm.
There are effective treatments for heartworm disease; unfortunately they are very expensive, time consuming, and extremely taxing on your pet’s body. Heartworm positive dogs are injected with imiticide, a derivative of arsenic. Can you imagine being injected with a series of
arsenic? No thank you. Plus, the costs and time invested into a heartworm treatment is roughly equivalent to 10 years’ worth of a monthly heartworm preventative.
A monthly preventative kills heartworms in their early life stages. It’s important to note that the early life stages show no signs or symptoms, leaving the disease undetected. That’s why it’s not enough to give your pet her monthly heartworm preventative only during the warmer months. With unseasonably warm
Home is where the heart is, at least when for Heartworms…

weather, your pet may have been exposed during the previous mosquito season. Which means all winter long the worms have been developing and migrating to the heart, silently. A heartworm pill could be fatal if given to a heartworm positive pooch.
The best cure is prevention all year round and an annual blood test. It’s safer, less costly, and healthier for your beloved companion. Start spring off on the right paw and get your pet tested and back on the pill!

O’s face tough start – Are they up for it?
BIRDS HOUSE
With the regular season less than a week away, things are about to start getting fun around Baltimore. Currently the Orioles boast a 12-7 spring training record—while it is good to see them above .500, we all know their preseason record doesn’t hold much water.
The O’s start off this year with a pretty tough schedule, opening at home against the reigning World Series champion Boston Red Sox for three games before heading to Detroit to play the Tigers for three games and then New York for three more against the Yankees.
While April will prove to be a tough opening month for the O’s, May will bring them the Houston Astros for six games (thank goodness) and the Minnesota Twins for three. Obviously no teams are pushovers, but, well, yeah, those teams are pretty terrible.
So far this spring, Chris Davis has been continuing as he did in 2013. Crush is batting .433 with 4 home runs in 30 at-bats with 12 runs batted in. If he can keep those strikeouts down a bit, he will be in for another monster year. While I don’t think he will hit over 50 home runs this year, 40-45 is very reachable.
J.J. Hardy has been having a nice spring as well, batting .313 with a home run and eight runs batted in. As always, Hardy brings Gold Glove level defense to shortstop along with his powerful bat.
Even Nelson Cruz has learned to find a way to get his on-base percentage up. So far, Cruz is batting .294 with a .385 OBP. Not bad.
Nick Markakis has played well this spring, batting .361 with a home run and six runs batted in. Markakis needs to have a big year, as he has about $17.5 million reasons to play well in 2014. He has an option for 2015, but if the Orioles are thinking differently, they won’t bring him back.
There have been a few pitchers for Baltimore that have stepped things up this spring. Zach Britton has been excellent so far, allowing only one earned run in 9.2 innings pitched. Bud Norris, Miguel Gonzalez, Kevin Gausman, Tommy Hunter, and Brian Matusz all have ERAs of 3.00 or less. Chris Tillman, Ubaldo Jimenez, and Wei-Yin Chen have been struggling a bit this preseason, but I’m not too concerned just yet.
The Orioles will have a tough road ahead of them this year, but they do have the pieces in place. I would have liked to have seen them pick up a top-notch starter this off-season, but I guess we will have to do with Ubaldo Jimenez for now. As for their outlook, here are my thoughts. Their offense is one of the best in baseball and they have added Nelson Cruz, which makes it even scarier if he can hit like he did in Texas.
Starting pitching remains a concern and there are a lot of “ifs” in that rotation. If Gausman can grow quickly…If Ubaldo Jimenez can pitch like he did after the All Star break last year and not like he did before the break…If Tillman can copy his 2013 season and not anything before…If Bud Norris can be the guy the O’s thought they traded for—then they should be good.
As for their bullpen, I just hope Tommy Hunter got his “yips” out this spring. If he falters, I wouldn’t mind seeing Darren O’Day in that role, but in an ideal world, Hunter nails down the closer role leaving O’Day and Matusz as the setup men, making that bullpen top notch in my opinion. I think the O’s have a real shot at the playoffs this year. Toronto, while they play the Orioles hard, doesn’t scare me much, and the Yankees have an average age of 53, it seems. Boston does come into the year as the reigning champs, but I’m not sure they’re as potent as they were last year. Tampa Bay is the only team that concerns me. Playing in the American League East is always tough, but the Orioles have just enough to make the playoffs this year.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Bernstein noted that there are about 3,000 officers in the Police Department.
“By and large, they’re working hard and doing a good job,” he said. “We’ve had to prosecute approximately 20 police officers.”
Charges included making false statements, excessive use of force, and assaultive behavior, Bernstein said, adding that his office had won every case it had prosecuted.
“It’s not something I’m really proud of, but it’s something I have a responsibility to do,” he said.
Addressing the Anderson case specifically, Bernstein said that his office “looked thor-oughly” and found no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of the police.
A resident asked Bernstein about a case in which a defendant was given a suspended sentence with five years of probation. During his probation, the resident said, the suspect was arrested twice on drug charges. The resi-dent asked why the suspect hadn’t been arrest-ed for violating his probation.
Bernstein replied that “typically,” his office will wait until a second offense before prose-cuting a probation violation, because it’s easier to prove that way.
A resident frustrated with repeated drug
deals occurring outside her home noted that suspects are arrested, and “the Southeast Baltimore police are doing their job,” yet she sees them again a day or two after their arrests.
Bernstein replied that those arrested on drug charges are often released on their own recognizance and don’t always have to make a high bail.
As for the lack of prosecution noted by the resident, Bernstein said that “there’s a whole range of reasons why we may not be able to proceed with the case.” These include a police officer not being able to make a court appear-ance for a legitimate reason, or drug analysis not coming back from the lab in time.
Bernstein did say that his office was going to start identifying repeat drug offenders “similar to how we identify violent repeat offenders.”
Editor's note: State's Attorney Bernstein, like Secretary of Juvenile Services Abed, spoke for several minutes about his accom-plishments, plans and platform prior to taking questions. In the interest of space, we have not included those remarks in this story. Bernstein touched on very similar themes a week prior, at the Fell's Prospect Community Association meeting. For those remarks, see “State's Attorney Gregg Bernstein talks violent crime at Fell's Prospect,” in last week's Baltimore Guide.
