Dear Friends,

I’ve been very pleased with the attendance level at our meetings the past few months. It’s exciting to see new members taking an active interest in our community. It’s also interesting to learn about our neighbors’ varying priorities. Diversity is essential to the health and effectiveness of a community organization. Here’s to a great start in 2017!

The Federal Hill neighborhood is nearing the finish line towards getting its historic designation. We were approved by CHAP in January 2017 and remain hopeful that the City Council and Mayor’s Office will approve our application by late spring/early summer.

Despite a valiant opposition effort by the association and directly impacted neighbors, the key setback variance sought by Renaissance Centre for the expansion of Harbor Hill Apartments was granted on February 28, 2017. The neighborhood will continue to keep an eye on developments with this project.

The next general meeting membership meeting will be held on March 21st at 7PM. Our tentative order of business includes but is not limited to several key topics:

• Update on the “Complete Streets” study by DOT• Vote on revised bylaws• Presentation by BikeMore• Crime Update by BCP – Southern District

Please consider becoming an active member of our association this year. There is much work to be done and many Federal Hill neighbors to meet. Let’s work together to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Hope to see you on March 24th at DigiBall. Not only is it lots of fun, it supports a great cause.Beth Whitmer

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:by Betsy Homer

Your neighbors had some lively discussions at the last Federal Hill Neighborhood Association (FHNA) meeting.

Representatives of the City’s Liquor Board and DOT heard the frustrations we have had for years with pub crawls in Federal Hill and with not having a way to comment on these events before the City gives them permits

FHNA’s intent to testify at the Baltimore Zoning board against granting a variance to the Harbor Hill expansion project for the required rear yard setback was discussed

Proposed changes to FHNA’s bylaws were presented, with copies of the current and proposed by-laws as well as a handout detailing the proposed changes were available. Everyone was encouraged to review the documents and offer comments prior to the March meeting when comments will be discussed and a vote on the proposed or amended changes will be taken. All the documents are on the FHNA website--read through and get any comments in!

Alert: DigiBall is March 24. The event raises scholarship money for Digital High Students--more info at the March meeting.

Daylight Savings Time starts on March 12, and with it comes longer days, warmer weather, and abundant floral blooms. It’s also the perfect time for a seasonal safety check to prepare your home for the season ahead. As you work your way around the house adjusting your clocks, take a few moments to review some of the safety and security features in your home with our Spring Safety Checklist.

• Change Your Batteries- It’s recommended you change your smoke & CO2 detector batteries every six months, so use daylight savings days as a reminder to change them while you change your clocks.

• Check Your Fire Extinguisher. Extinguishers do expire and can become ineffective over time. Check the expiration date on your extinguishers and ensure there’s one in every room where there could be an open flame, e.g. next to your fireplace and near the stove.

• Update your first aid kit. Make sure you’re stocked up on adhesive bandages, gauze, antibiotic ointment, and pain relievers in case of an emergency.

• Inspect your plumbing for leaks. Look under the sink, around the toilet, and in the basement for potential leaks.

• Create an emergency plan. If you don’t already have an escape route planned out, there’s no time like the present to talk it through with your housemates. Laminate a list of emergency contacts or create a text thread detailing this information. It may seem silly, but it could save a life.

• Invest in Security Equipment. Motion-sensor floodlights can deter theft and some versions do not require wiring, making installation as simple as a screw and a set of batteries. If you don’t have a home security system in place, consider door alarms or a wifi-connected security camera like the Nest Camera; all these materials are available at your local Ace.

As we enjoy this unseasonably warm late February and start to leave work before the sun sets, one thing becomes clear: summer is on its way. Although most welcome the change of seasons, you might be feeling a tinge of worry as you wonder “...will I be ready for beach season?”

I can tell you that you’re not alone. A common theme among our clients is a desire to look good naked. They communicate this in myriad ways, but the message is the same. While we know that exercise plays an important role here, we can’t ignore the equally important role of the diet.

Last month, we talked about how it was better to focus on adding healthy things to the diet rather than focusing on deprivation. This time, we’ll talk about one simple thing you can do eat less and yet feel more satisfied. And you can do it without buying any product or changing what you eat! I know, it sounds too good to be true, but it really does work. It’s so simple, you’ll probably be incredulous:

Slow down.

That’s right, just slow down when you eat. Sit down in a calm environment and chew your food thoroughly and you will eat less and feel more satisfied. Although it might sound crazy, slowing down works for a number of reasons and has been shown to work in controlled studies.

Slow Down and Get There FasterYou wouldn’t know it from reading a fitness magazine, but for the vast majority of human history we didn’t have any concept of a 2,000-calorie diet. So however did we manage? We ate when we were hungry and stopped when we weren’t, which is called appetite. This system can still help us decide how much to eat, but we’ve sabotaged it by getting in the habit of stuffing our faces and eating on the go.

Eating and digestion are far more complicated processes than many people realize. Eating sets into motion a whole cascade of actions and reactions. When we eat too fast we don’t give our bodies a chance to react and tell us to stop. In fact, the average American eats faster than this system can work! As a result, we eat more during each meal and get hungry sooner.

Not convinced slowing down makes a difference? In a 2008 study of healthy women, one group ate slowly and another quickly. The slow eaters ate an average of 579 calories in 29 minutes; the fast eaters ate 646 calories in nine minutes. Not only that, the fast eaters reported getting hungry sooner than the slow eaters, even though the slow eaters consumed 10% fewer calories in the previous meal. Just imagine if you could eat less in general, be able to skip that occasional “emergency” trip to the vending machine, and do it all without feeling deprived.

So, next time you eat:

1. Take your time. Remember “dinner time” from when you

were young? Make dinner an event, not something to rush through so you can get more things done.

2. Sit down. Preferably in a quiet environment with few distractions.

3. Chew.Take two additional chews per forkful. After a while this will come naturally but you might have to focus on it at first

At our coaching business, our goal is to get the most mileage out of the smallest possible intervention. In other words, we strive to get the biggest bang for the buck. Just as we want clients to look forward to their workouts (well, most of them, anyway), we want them to be satisfied with their diets. With consistent effort, we can move them toward their health and fitness goals without extreme measures. Instead they form good, sustainable habits that they can practice in the long term. Hopefully with this installment and the last one, you have two relatively simple tips to eat less, eat better, and feel more satisfied so you can lose fat and be healthy this summer and beyond.

This month the Minstrel took the Banner Route Circulator to Locust Point and visited the “In Like Flynn Tavern,” located at 1371 Andre Street. Since June 2014 brother and sister Cora and Rich Flynn, along with Rich’s wife and chef, Veronica, have been the proprietors of the former J. Patrick’s Pub. There are similarities between J. Patrick’s and In Like Flynn—for example they have kept the family-friendly and neighborhood atmosphere of the former pub, along with the tradition of live music, but have put a new twist on the menu. Not only do they have a traditional Irish Menu of foods that Cora and Rich grew up on in New England, but Chef Veronica, who was also a chef at the former Bicycle Restaurant on Light Street, has brought a Jamaican element along as well.

Speaking of keeping the neighborhood tradition of an Irish Pub alive, on Saturday March 11, the Tavern will have its third annual St. Patrick’s Block Party and feature live music and other family friendly activities. For the “wee little ones” there will be crafts, face painting, and games, and for the adults there will be Irish coffee, beer, and whiskey, as well as traditional Irish Fare and music. Clement Street will be closed between Andre Street and Reynolds Street in Locust Point for the block party. It’s actually the kickoff to a whole week of food and drink specials at Flynn’s leading up to St. Patrick’s day on Friday March 17th. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is the next day, on Sunday March 12, and on Wednesday March 15th, the Ides of March, Flynn’s will feature a whiskey sampling of Tullamore Dew from 6 to 7 pm along with traditional Irish fare. Regular weekly specials start on Sunday night with a prime rib of beef, Monday is rib night, Tuesday is Jamaican Jerk

In Like Flynn and St. Paddy’s DayNight, Wednesday is burger and beer night where you can get a burger and a draft beer for $8.95, and Saturday and Sunday features brunch as well as the regular menu.

Getting back to the music scene, owner Cora Flynn says that they still like to feature local Irish music by bands like Maggie’s Leap and Garnet Hearts, but they are just as likely to have a blues or rockabilly band. She said she went to college here locally and got into the local music scene while hanging with fellow students who were musicians. Cora also mentioned that the Tavern was considering having an open mike night in the near future to showcase some of the local talent from the Peninsula and South Baltimore area.

In the humble opinion of the Minstrel, this block party is one of the best-kept secrets in Baltimore, and I think it’s intended to be kept that way so as not to get out of hand like block parties in Canton, or the various Pub Crawls throughout the city on St. Patrick’s Day. The Flynn Family wants to show that the Locust Point community can have a good time while still being respectful of the neighborhood. The party starts at 11 am on Saturday March 11, rain or shine; there will be a covered bandstand and tents for the other activities.

Thanks to the In Like Flynn Tavern for supporting live music on the Peninsula, and for reminding us that with the coming of St. Patrick’s Day, opening day for the Orioles is just around the corner.

The role that average people play in history is often forgotten with the passage of time, overshadowed by the larger events and well-documented accomplishments of others more famous. Many who were well known and respected locally for their accomplishments and contributions are forever lost to history and gone from memory once the last member of their generation passes on.

Michael Dundon is one of those forgotten individuals; but fortunately, existing are two newspaper articles from 1915 and 1920 when he was interviewed later in life. He recounts many incidents of his early life in South Baltimore and if it were not for these articles, Dundon’s many achievements and fascinating life would have been lost forever.

Michael Dundon was born December 18th 1829 in Trenton, NJ. He moved to Baltimore City in the early 1850’s. He married Susan A.M. Rose of Baltimore at the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Baltimore on December 18, 1854. This union produced three daughters, Ida M., Emma M. and Estelle E. and a son John I. Dundon.

Michael Dundon in front of his Cigar StoreThat same year, Mr. Dundon established a Cigar Store at 267 (803) Light Street, between Montgomery and Church Hill Streets, near the western base of Federal Hill.South Baltimore in 1854 was not the sprawling community of churches, schools, row-houses and businesses that it is today. The waterfront on the south-side of the harbor basin was teaming with small shipyards and glass and fertilizer factories. The whole area south of Hughes Street was a sparsely inhabited area of forests and small farms with a scattering of small garden cottages to the west and south of Federal Hill. From Cross Street south, there was almost nothing but three small cemeteries, a cluster of buildings and a tavern at the corner of the

old Fort Road.

Federal Hill 1855Michael Dundon established his small business and made his home just prior to the establishment of the municipal police department and fire department. The only law enforcement at that time was conducted by a handful of watchmen who were stationed in small circular structures, placed sporadically around the area. One such structure was located at the corner of Warren Avenue and William Street, on the site of the old Southern High School.

South Baltimore in the 1840’s and 1850’s was a lawless place, controlled by various gangs of ruffians who aligned themselves with one of the many local volunteer fire companies which operated independently from each other and were in competition with each other. These fire companies aligned themselves with a particular political party and thus controlled the election process in their areas.

The American Party (Know-Nothings) had taken control of city hall and most of the city council seats. The Know-Nothing platform was based on anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic beliefs their motto was “America for Americans”.

The various gangs of South Baltimore were divided into two factions. The two largest of these gangs were the Tigers and the Wampanoags. The Tigers

were aligned with the Democratic Party and made their headquarters in the Democratic 17th Ward House located at Church Hill & Light Streets with Joseph Edwards as their leader. The Wampanoags were aligned with the American Party and made their headquarters in a building at Light Street and the old Fort Road, with John Hartlove at the helm.

These groups were in constant conflict with each other and violent conflicts between the two were common especially around local and national election time and during Defenders Day celebrations which always turned violent. These gangs continued to operate in Baltimore City until the close of the Civil War.

“The chief difference in South Baltimore wrought by time is its improvement in law and order. Murders arising from political disputes were frequent in those days and led finally to the hanging of such men as Crop, Gamble and Curry. The Know-Nothings’ were in power about the year 1855, and I can remember well, a street fight which took place between them and the Seventeenth Ward Democratic Club. It occurred at Henrietta

and Light streets, [Sept. 12, 1856] lasted a half a day and 18 men were killed or wounded. I had to close the shutters in front of my shop, as the bullets were flying thick and fast. As a result of these outbreaks, a reform party arose, of which I was a member. It was led by Severn Teackle Wallis, and through him the wards were divided into precincts in order to prevent large crowds from assembling on election days.”




“ I recall the time when South Baltimore was without gas or water systems. Water was obtained by pumps owned by private individuals. On washday the housewife had to get water from one of these pumps. Four wooden pumps were allotted to a group of houses. People were also afraid to burn coal in their houses for fear of asphyxiation.”

“There were slave pens at the southwest corner of Eutaw Street and Camden Street, run by a man named Joseph Donovan, in which colored men, women and children were placed upon a block and sold like cattle.”

“Maryland was sort of a nursery in the slave trade. She raised young ones, fattened them and sold them to the South.”

“I was a Union Man during the war and recall vividly the night when General Benjamin F. Butler under the cover of darkness and a driving rainstorm occupied Federal Hill.” (May 13, 1861)“Two days before, I had gone to Relay for Gudgeon fishing and saw the troops stationed there. I asked them why they didn’t come into Baltimore. They said they were afraid of being met with hot shot. I told them that in South Baltimore there were many Union sympathizers who would meet them with hot coffee. Many soldiers spent a night or two at my house.”

His experience in Baltimore’s reform party led him into a life of public service and community activity which he would continue throughout his long and active life.

In 1864, Mr. Dundon went to the State Legislature in Annapolis as a delegate from Baltimore City. The State legislators of 1864 were pondering over literature on anti-slavery and were striving hard to free the slaves of the State. (Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation did not free all slaves, only those slaves being held in combative states. Maryland being a Union State was not bound by Lincoln’s presidential act and therefore slavery continued to be legal in Maryland.) Unfortunately the Assembly did not have the authority to adopt a bill demanding the freeing of slaves, so a State convention was called in the fall of that year which resulted in the releasing of all Negro slaves in Maryland.

Mr. Dundon could also accurately relate the happenings at the dedication of the Gettysburg Cemetery where President Lincoln delivered his historic speech. As a member of the legislature he was part of a contingent that accompanied the President on that memorable occasion.

After completing his one term in the legislature, Michael Dundon returned to his family and business in South Baltimore. Dundon’s, tobacco business grew and prospered. He extended his business to the wholesale trade and obtained a larger building at 96 Light Street,

under the name M. Dundon & Company, but with the advent of the tobacco trust (1890) found it advisable to return to the house and shop into which he lived on the day when Federal troops arrived.

The decades following the Civil War brought much change and growth to South Baltimore. Immigrants arrive by the thousands to fill the jobs created by the many industries that were springing up throughout the peninsula.Hundreds of small alley houses were built for the workman and larger homes were being built on the lots along the main streets heading south.The conditions in which these new citizens lived were deplorable. Shallow wells and lack of proper sewage removal lead to outbreaks of typhoid fever and resulted in many deaths.

The following decades found Mr. Dundon at the head of whatever initiative would advance the condition of this community. Dundon drew up petitions requesting the City Council to erect lights on Light Street. He followed the same form of procedure when he asked for the installation of gas and water pipes.

When asked about being the Man Who Put the Lights on Light Street?

“I did those things not only for the residents, but for the commercial standpoint. I conceived that Light Street was the main thoroughfare from the City to Anne Arundel and other counties. Also because of the steep hill on Light Street at Montgomery, many farmers refused to bring their produce to this City. I presented a bill to the City Council and had a portion of the hill cut away in order to attract the farmers to this city and to lessen the burden on their horses.”

Because of Michael Dundon’s initiative and foresight, Light Street did become the main thoroughfare from the southern counties supplying the many shipping and rail lines with additionally needed commerce. It also made the Light Street corridor one of the most successful business districts in the City of Baltimore.

In addition Dundon served as a member of the Second Branch City Council from 1889 to 1890. He was instrumental in having electric car service adopted in Baltimore.

The last interview with Mr. Dundon was conducted just after his 90th birthday. The reporter stated that although his eyesight was failing his mind was sharp and he enjoyed spinning yarns about his early days in South Baltimore. He was still in his Light Street shop from nine in the morning until ten o’clock at night. When asked if he could account for his long life, Mr. Dundon smiled and between draws on his pipe said, “The only reason I can give is that I eat what I want when I want it, go to bed and get up when I want and don’t exert myself. I take things as they come and try not to worry over trivial matters!”Michael Dundon the Father of South Baltimore died in his Light Street home on June 5, 1922 in the same home he bought in 1854.

Turning Lives Around at The Baltimore StationBy Kim Callari, Director of Development & Communications

Thousands of people pass by the small firehouse located at the corner of West and Leadenhall Streets on their way to Ravens or Orioles games without even a thought about what goes on inside. Once you walk inside this historic building that has been a part of the South Baltimore community since 1906, however, you instantly become aware of the great work that’s being done for our city’s veterans and other men in need.

Welcome to The Baltimore Station. Here we provide an innovative therapeutic residential program for veterans and others who are transitioning through the cycle of poverty, addiction, and homelessness toward a life of self-sufficiency. Every year, over 350 men walk through these doors and those of our facility in the Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood and go on to graduate with the tools and confidence they need to live a substance-free life.

Now in our 28th year, The Baltimore Station focuses on those we know most about, and those we can do the most for – men who valiantly served our country and have since fallen on hard times. We know that our men have returned to society suffering from the many effects of combat, often turning to drugs and alcohol to control the trauma. They can become mired in a cycle that spins out of control and leads to poverty, estrangement from their family and friends, and homelessness.

Beyond the basic necessities like housing, food and clothing, The Baltimore Station ensures these men are given every tool they need to fully recover through daily group meetings, individual case management, family re-unification programs, job preparation training, and opportunities to pursue education. Our residents are also

exposed to and invited to participate in new activities and experiences that will give them transferrable skills they can carry with them after they leave our program. Activities such as healthy cooking, art, Tai Chi, yoga, and drama classes have demonstrated success and are widely accessible to our residents once they graduate from our program. We also partner with several organizations, including The American Diabetes Association, to strengthen our toolkit with tips and practices from our nation’s leading experts for living independently and without the use of drugs and/or alcohol.

Our community of staff, residents, board members and volunteers provide support and guidance to our men every day. Their presence also serves as an important example to the men of the great value that comes from a life in recovery and the ultimate joys that can be experienced by those who take responsibility for their own lives and choices.

Unlike many residential treatment programs, The Baltimore Station invites the community into our facilities to spend time with the men and enjoy one-

on-one conversations, “breaking bread,” attending events together, or teaming up to complete work or service projects. These interactions show our residents that they are not forgotten – that people care about them in their community and that they matter. As a result, the isolation so many of our residents have long felt starts to melt away.

After spending some time in our program (the average length is 13 months), most residents are able to live independently in permanent housing and are financially stable. Many find employment in fulfilling jobs or enroll in college, trade schools, or continuing education programs.

The Baltimore Station will be around for as long as there is a need for our services but it definitely takes more than what’s inside our walls to ensure these services are the best they can be. Volunteers are

an integral part of The Baltimore Station’s success, and there are many ways for the community to get involved with us.

Those who are interested can consider attending one of our fundraisers, volunteering with their families, church groups or businesses to prepare and serve meals, organizing a fundraiser or in-kind donation drive, or participating in a service project. The opportunities are endless, and wether it’s a long-term commitment or a one-day activity, all contributions make a positive and lasting impact on the men in our program. We encourage everyone to get involved and help The Baltimore Station turn lives around for our veterans and others in need.

Rachel New American Cuisine, a new restaurant from one of Baltimore’s hottest chefs and Federal Hill resident Barry Fleischmann, opened in December at 554 East Fort Avenue. A terrific addition to the neighborhood, the restaurant offers farm-to-table New American cuisine. Chef Fleischmann’s seasoned management team includes locally renowned chef James Taylor and a general manager and bartender Mike Ennis who hail from the former One Eyed. Some might remember the tres chic Soigne, which was a successful upscale restaurant in the same location years ago.

Named after Chef Fleischmann’s daughter, Rachel’s menu offers seasonally influenced farm-to-table food for both the restaurant and its associated catering service. Barry says his goal is to make Rachel integral to the neighborhood’s food and hospitality scene. “We welcome all our neighbors and the entire Baltimore metropolitan community to join us for authentic, local cuisine. Come in, relax, eat, drink and let us feed your soul!” he says.

I went in on the first night and was thrilled with the chopped salad with house-cured, thick-cut bacon batons with puttanesca. Yum! The dressing was perfect and the salad – which was large enough to share with my friend – was tossed to perfection.

Next we tried the gravlox, also made in-house. It came with crunchy toasted baguette slices and was dressed with a horseradish cream, capers and red onions. Diners next to me had the panko-crusted, bacon-wrapped, runny egg with five-onion marmalade. It looked excellent – next time!

Every inch of the building has been renovated with painstaking detail to offer a sophisticated dining experience while making guests feel the same degree of comfort as in their living rooms. Everything is beautifully plated and the staff is warm and welcoming.

No stranger to serving excellent food, Chef Fleischmann founded one of Baltimore’s leading catering companies, Innovative Gourmet, and has been providing best-in-class food and hospitality for the past 30 years. He describes his menu as locally sourced Mid-Atlantic Chesapeake Bay cuisine, with offerings like roasted Cornish hen, seasoned beef medallions, house-cured smoked meats and salami, hand-crafted sandwiches and dinner salads. The robust beverage program showcases craft beers with a rotating draft menu, and fine wines hand-selected by Chef Fleischmann.

Food is served Tuesday - Thursday 5 - 10 pm, Friday 11 am -11 pm, Saturday 10:30 am -11 pm and Sunday brunch from 10:30 am – 4 pm. Restaurant and catering 443-339-4999. Valet parking is planned.

The Wizard Will Have VisitorsBy John Ginovsky

I recognized the wizard’s rapping at my door, or at least I thought I did. The actual rapping had its usual insistence, but lacked its usual pounding, in that my door’s hinges never seemed in danger of being forcibly unhinged.

Sure enough, there was my neighbor, the Wizard Awry, attired in his purple cloak and conical hat with gold stars, and holding a seven-foot wooden staff. What was different though was that, instead of his usual demanding demeanor characterized by impatience and irritation, the wizard appeared—apologetic, for lack of a better description.

“I have come to ask a favor,” the wizard said meekly, the words seeming to sneak out of his mouth with the most extreme reluctance.

“Well sure,” I said.

“It is soon the time of the vernal equinox,” he said, as if that explained everything. Indeed, I think he did think that explained everything. We stood blinking at each other in silence for several awkward moments.

“You fool!” he thundered, his old self emerging. “Have you no understanding? Must I grovel at your feet?”

“Huh?” I said, totally bewildered.

“I am sorry to have bothered you,” he murmured, and turned to leave.

“No, wait! Tell me what I can do!” I said desperately.

He paused, slumped his shoulders in resignation, and turned. “As I said, the vernal equinox is coming. That’s the beginning of what you call ʻspring’ you know…

“I know that.”

“…And it is the time when many of my kind get together to…observe it...with suitable…rituals.”

It started to make sense, sort of. But then it didn’t.

“What kind of rituals? Like a celebration? Or a party? Something like that?”

The wizard looked at me like I was a bug.

“My kind does not have ʻparties,’” he replied in a huff. “The vernal equinox elicits certain ethereal and astronomical potentialities evident at no other time of the year. My kind gathers together to pool our…talents…to make the most of those potentialities.”

“I’m not sure I understand.”

The wizard didn’t seem to care whether I understood or not. He went on, caught up in his train of thought.

“This year of all years in recent memory presents potentialities during the vernal equinox of much, much greater…potential…than usual. Just look at what’s been happening around the planet! Earthquakes! Droughts! Floods!”

“The weather has been strange,” I agreed. “I turned off my furnace because it’s so warm.”

“…And wars and strife and turmoil all over! And gravely dangerous leaders coming to power! And asteroids narrowly missing imposing calamitous collisions with the planet! And wrong Oscar envelopes being handed out at ceremonies!”

Whoa. I had to agree with him at that, and shook my head in grave concern.

“So now the vernal equinox approaches and many of my kind have decided the best location for us to pool our…talents…is right here, not far from the centers of political, financial, and military powers. We intend to do what we can to restore cosmic and planetary order, to at least avoid world-ending cataclysm and perhaps to restore the world’s lines of positive energy in a last desperate attempt to save this planet!”

I was beginning to see where this was going. “So I gather you are expecting a number of guests at your house,” I said.

The wizard drew himself together and calmed down, as I asked, “What can I do to help?”

As sheepish as the inimitable Wizard Awry could possibly look, he said: “Many of my kind are coming from out of town. I will need to borrow your parking pass.”

EdgarIf a black cat is bad luck I must be doing something very wrong! My name is Edgar and I’m a 12 pound three year old kitty and I am one lucky guy because the people of AARF found me and I’m living in a really great foster home! My foster mom thinks I’m pretty cute. I’m also very affectionate and I love to play. I zoom around, but I also love to sit in the window to watch the world go by. I live with other kitties and I’m working hard to get used to them. My foster mom thinks maybe I was an only cat in my old home, but I’m learning to like the other kitties. There is a doggie here too and I’m curious about him. We have even touched noses so I think we are making friends.

Some of the things I love are head butts, catnip, toys and being affectionate with people. What I don’t like is being by myself and the evil vacuum cleaner! Everything else is pretty okay.

I’m a friendly sweet boy that more than anything wants a family to call my own. I’m not destructive and I always use my litter box because I’m a very good boy.

So if you’d like a sweet kitty to share your life with, I’m ready to meet you!

My adoption fee is $150.00 and includes all of my routine vetting, rabies and distemper/parvo vaccinations, FelV/FIV testing, deworming, spay/neuter surgery, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention, microchip, boarding and transportation costs if applicable, along with an offer for 30 days of free 24PetWatch pet insurance!

BrennanWell hello young friend! I’m new to this online profile thing, so please bear with me as I sort it all out. I’m told that I should tell you who I am, what I like, and what I am looking for. My name is Brennan, and I am a Pomeranian mix. My former family and I are no longer together, which led me here to look for a new forever home.

Don’t let my age mislead you. I can keep up with even the silliest of puppies and love nothing more than couch time with my humans. If I think you need a reminder of affection, I’m happy to give you a gentle push with my nose to let you know. My hair is quite soft and lovely, which lends itself to significant petting – which I will always happily accept. Strangers and friends alike are wonderful, though cats and I would probably fare better apart than together.

There are few things in life better than taking walks. I can get a bit excited on walks and you may feel me pull the leash, but unless you weigh less than I do (unlikely, given that I’m a terrifying 17 pounds), I think we’ll be all right. Naps are also quite delightful. I would truly like nothing better to find a permanent nap partner. All in all, I would like to find the perfect companion for a calm, relaxing life together. And don’t worry – I have plenty of joie de vivre left in these bones to make every day a special one.

To make me yours, please fill out an adoption application at http://www.animalalliesrescue.org/adoption-application and choose me - Brennan! My adoption fee is $150.00 and includes all of my routine vetting, rabies and distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, spay/neuter surgery, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention, microchip, boarding and transportation costs if applicable, along with a free *trial offer for 30 days of 24PetWatch pet insurance!

*Dependent on meeting eligibility requirements: Dogs 8 weeks to 10 years of age and cats 8 weeks to 12 years of age. This offer is not currently available to residents of CA, PA or RI

AARFies of the Month


March brings St. Patrick’s Day festivities to Federal Hill! When you’ve finished celebrating on Cross Street, come home to a hearty meal of corned beef and cabbage.

The origins of this dish lie in the Irish preparation of bacon and cabbage. Cattle in Ireland were typically used to support farms rather than to provide meat; instead, pork was the country’s protein of choice. Cooks would boil a slab of back bacon with cabbage, potatoes, and whatever other vegetables were on hand. The corned beef dish we know today became popular among Irish immigrants to America, who substituted flavorful salted brisket from kosher butchers.

This simple preparation of corned beef and cabbage uses a slow cooker to imbue the meat with moisture and tenderness. Adding beer early in the cooking process intensifies this dish’s mellow, rich undertones. Enjoy!

Corned Beef and CabbagePrep: 15 minutesCook: 8 hours

Ingredients3 c warm water8 oz beer2 T sugar2 T apple cider vinegar, or similar½ t freshly ground pepper1 t bay leaf1 medium sweet onion, wedged4 cloves garlic, smashed3-4 lb corned beef brisket with spice packet8 baby red potatoes, quartered1 lb baby carrots1 small head cabbage, cored and wedged

YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS THIS!Federal Hill has many special features and qualities – in addition to the wonderful people who choose to live here! On Tuesday, March 28 join historian Walter Gallas for a talk on the history, culture, and architecture of our neighborhood. Mr. Gallas served for three years as the executive director of Louisiana Landmarks Society, a New Orleans-based nonprofit historic preservation organization. He also worked for the National Trust for Historic Preservation for over eight years, including heading up the organization’s New Orleans field office for more than three years after Hurricane Katrina, advocating for sound preservation policy in the midst of hurricane recovery. He served as deputy director of the New Orleans Historic District Landmarks Commission and currently serves on Baltimore City’s Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservatioy. We hope you can join us for this super interesting and informative talk. Tuesday, March 28 at 7:00PM, Jesus Our Redeemer Church, 113 Warren Ave.

1. In a large bowl, whisk water, beer, sugar, vinegar, and pepper. Add the bay leaf.

2. Rub brisket with the included spices.

3. Layer the bottom of the crock pot with onion wedges and garlic. We want to create a nest for the brisket so it’s exposed to less direct heat.

4. Rest brisket over the onions. Scatter carrots and potatoes around it.

5. Pour the liquid from Step 1 over all ingredients in the slow cooker until the brisket is just covered. If necessary, add additional beer.

6. Set slow cooker to low heat and allow to cook for 7 hours. Resist the temptation to open the lid!

7. After 7 hours have passed, add the cabbage. Cook for another hour, or until brisket is tender.

8. Discard the bay leaf. Transfer corned beef to a cutting board and slice across the grain.

9. Serve with cabbage, potatoes and carrots. Garnish with cooking liquid.

March Theatre RoundupBy Liz Nelson

As the weather gets warmer, the local theatre scene starts to heat up, too! Be sure to put these performances on your March schedule.

Chesapeake Shakespeare Company – 7. South Calvert StreetThe Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare Directed by Ian GallanarMarch 17 – April 9 | Tickets range $19.50-$49.50

In The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare puts Kate and Petruchio’s marital power struggles under a microscope. There, he finds humor magnified amid the imbalance of powers in their gender roles. She makes it clear that no man is worthy, so her father marries her off to Petruchio, who then sets about to “tame” her. As topical as it is hilarious, The Taming of the Shrew is a rollicking romantic comedy with enduring themes that have influenced generations of popular entertainment, from the musical Kiss Me, Kate to the teen movie Ten Things I Hate About You.

Everyman Theatre - 315 West Fayette StreetLos Ostros Book & Lyrics by Ellen Fitzhugh Music by Michael John LaChiusa Directed by Noah Himmelstein March 22 – April 23 | Tickets range $25-$64

From Tony Award nominees Michael John LaChiusa (The Wild Party/Giant) and Ellen Fitzhugh (Grind/Paradise Found), and acclaimed director Noah Himmelstein (An Inspector Calls/I am Harvey Milk) comes the premiere of this re-imagined, unique musical. Through a series of beautiful and intimate moments, two Californians, Lillian and Carlos, explore three significant moments in their lives, discovering they are linked in unexpected ways. This semi-autobiographical work captures a universal story of interconnectedness, love, risk and revelation through the lens of two people’s lives.

Spotlighters Theatre - 817 Saint Paul StreetThe Women by Clare Boothe Luce directed by Fuzz RoarkNow through March 19 | Tickets range $10-$22

The plot centers on a 1939 group of gossipy high-society women who spend their days at the beauty salon and haunting fashion shows. The sweet, happily wedded Mary Haines finds her marriage in trouble when shop-girl Crystal Allen gets her hooks into Mary’s man. Naturally, this situation becomes the hot talk among Mary’s catty friends, especially the scandalmonger Sylvia Fowler, who has little room to talk. But with a bit of guts and daring, Mary snatches her man right back from Crystal’s clutches. Snappy, witty dialogue, helps send the humor over the top.

“I don’t ask any man to understand me. How could he? I’m a woman.” “The Women” is a satire of life behind the closed doors of women’s culture. It exposes the indulgence of the wealthy who have been shielded from the worst effects of the Depression, but places them squarely in the midst of the class tension of the time. While working women in the play participate in skewering the Park Avenue ladies, all the ladies are keenly aware that regardless of class or race, one of the most lucrative and secure jobs available is that of “wife,” and they do it with sparkling, witty, and clever dialogue.

Fells Point Corner Theatre - 251 South Ann StreetTrust By Steven Dietz Directed by Michael Byrne DemarelNow through March 19 | Prices range $15-$20

A rising star and a faded one. A radio DJ. A Bohemian. Guitar picks, pick-ups and wedding dresses waiting to be worn. In a fast-paced, grungy grind, how can anyone be trusted when temptation trumps all? From the creative team who brought previous year’s productions of Other Desert Cities and Detroit, Director Michael Byrne Zemarel combines with the talents of Valerie Dowdle, Cassandra Dutt, Laura Malkus, Rachel Roth, David Shoemaker and Mark Scharf to bring you a play about rock n roll and the ones it leaves behind.Disclaimer: Nudity, Adult Situations and Herbal Cigarettes

Cohesion Theatre Company United Evangelical Church - 923 S. East AvenueHenry the Fifth By William Shakespeare Directed by Alice Stanley & Jane JongewardMarch 9 - 26, 2017 | Tickets range $15-$20

Henry the Fifth is Shakespeare’s epic tale of one of England’s most celebrated kings and the famous battle of Agincourt. When placed in the context of ancient rights and God-given purpose, we see adventure and heroism in Henry’s story. Directors Alice Stanley and Jane Jongeward will seek to strip away this glorified portrayal of the violence of war by setting the piece in backwoods and rolling hills of nineteenth century Appalachia. Drawing on historical family feuds and traditional religious bluegrass music, the production will spur the questions: What is the nature of violence when glory is discounted, and how do we reconcile the long history of violence with faith?
