Major William Davis, commander of Baltimore’s Southeastern Police District, is retiring after eight years in the Southeast and almost 26 years as a Baltimore police officer.
“Though I am excited to begin a new chapter of my life, I have spent pretty much my entire adult life serving as a member of the BPD, and working with and serving the communities of the Southeastern District over the last 8 years has been some of the best and most rewarding times” wrote Davis in a statement to community members. “The relationships I have developed with you and the accomplishments we have achieved are a testament to how great Baltimore is, and to the strength of the Southeastern District.”
“I’m sorry to see him go—I really am,” said Joyce Adamski, president of the Southeastern District Police Community Relations Council, an umbrella group that facilitates communication between residents

Gymnastics, cultural and educational group fi nds new homein HighlandtownBY ERIK ZYGMONTEDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
After a two-year search for a building, Sokol Baltimore plans to return to the Southeast with gymnastics programming in the near future, possibly as near as the spring of this year.
“What we’re proud of is that we’re again going to be the only gymnastics program in Baltimore City,” said Michael Rokos, president of Sokol Baltimore, Inc., part of a larger network that has been involved with gymnastics, as well as learning and personal improvement, for centuries.
A crucial step—obtaining a building suitable for the popular classes—has been completed.
In November, Sokol Baltimore purchased 3218 Noble St., a Highlandtown building that formerly housed Baron Stage Curtain and Equipment Co.
The building is 9,000 square feet, but finding a space with suitable area wasn’t a problem, according to Rokos. Finding a building with the correct height has been the issue since Sokol’s previous space, at the St. Patrick’s complex on S. Broadway in Upper Fell’s Point, was damaged in the 2011 earthquake.
“We’ll have to build up the ceiling in one area for things that require more height,” Rokos said.
Once renovations are complete, Sokol will offer training in the gamut of gymnastics disciplines—rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, beam, etc—to participants of all ages, abilities and levels of interest, from the casual weekend practitioner to the diehard
fanatic who hopes to one day participate in the Olympic Games.
“We have a bunch of members over 90,” commented Rokos. “They’re not necessarily leading jumping over the horse.”
Sokol is about much more than gymnastics, he added.
“The origin of the organization was part

Well-liked priest of Polish community passes
Want to transfer a liquor license? How’s your reputation?by DANIELLE SWEENEy DSWEENEY@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
Maggie Porter, Henry’s aide, says “[The councilman] has seen many situations in which a license was transferred from one establishment to the next without any consideration given to the nature of the vacating establishment, its location, or the effect of a liquor store on the surrounding neighborhood.”
Henry’s district includes neighborhoods in north and northeast Baltimore.
“… Councilman Henry believes ...[the] Liquor Board should be allowed to consider such factors, especially considering “the prevalence of liquor stores in the city and the problems they create in many communities,” Porter said.
The resolution was read and recommended favorably to the council’s Judiciary and Legislative Investigations committee, where it was heard and adopted on Jan. 27, with no council members opposed.
“This is the second or third time the City Council has made this request of the State Legislature, and as they are already in the process of revising [state liquor laws], we hope that they will include these recommendations in their revision process,” Porter added.
A former pastor of Holy Rosary Church, Monsignor Chester John Mieczkowski, 95, passed away on Jan. 12.
“He was very well-liked,” said Guide photographer Tom Scilipoti, who is a parishioner at Holy Rosary.
Upon his ordination in 1945, Mieczkowski served at Holy Rosary, 408 S. Chester St., as an associate until 1967, when he was assigned to St. Mary’s Parish in Pylesville. He was rapidly reassigned to Holy Rosary, this time as pastor, in 1968. He remained at the Fells Prospect church, originally established to serve Polish immigrants, until his retirement in 1991.
An obituary printed in the Holy Rosary church bulletin states that Mieczkowski was recruited as a seminarian for the Archdiocese of Baltimore while on the beach in Staten Island, N.Y., where he met several Baltimore seminarians who invited him to consider the priesthood.
“Monsignor also had a real devotion to the people of the parishes where he served,” states the bulletin, “and they were his real family in so many ways. He always had time to listen to people and help them make sense of their situations.”
Three Baltimore City Council members want city lawmakers in Annapolis to draft legislation so the “general reputation” of a liquor establishment and its patrons can be used as evidence at liquor license transfer hearings.
City Council members Bill Henry (4th), Carl Stokes (12th), and Robert Curran (3rd) introduced a resolution last fall that would allow the Liquor Board to consider the “general reputation” of the liquor establishments and the people who congregate in or near them, and not just “the character of the [license] applicant” in determining liquor license transfers.
The resolution’s recital asserts that since many instances in which a community is unhappy with a liquor licensee involve “neighborhood disruptions” already happening, and “since this information cannot be considered when the Liquor Board decides whether to allow a transfer,” such establishments continue to operate and negatively impact the community.

Inn agrees to move loading zone; neighbors call for better processBY DANIELLE SWEENEYDSWEENEY@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
In an effort to reach a compromise with Curley St. neighbors in parking-plagued Canton, the owners of the INN at 2920, located at 2920 Elliott St., are now asking the city to move the passenger loading zone they requested from Curley St. to Elliott St.
Last year, Warren Munroe and David Rohrbaugh had initially requested the passenger loading zone for their five-room bed and breakfast–the INN at 2920 Elliott St.—for the convenience of their arriving and departing guests.
To the surprise of the inn’s Curley St. neighbors, the 20-foot-wide zone was installed in December on Curley St., and is in effect 24 hours a day.
The zone allows users—any user, not just the business who requests it—to park for a maximum of 10 minutes while they load or unload their vehicle.
In requesting the zone from the Parking Authority ,Munroe and Rohrbaugh followed proper city procedure, which did not require them to notify their neighbors directly.
Subsequently, Curley St. residents didn’t know about the passenger loading zone—or the loss of 20 feet of parking space—until the zone signs were installed.
Dustin Ritter and other Curley St. residents expressed frustration that a business could take parking off the street without neighbors at least being notified.
The Canton Community Association was aware of the inn’s passenger loading zone request, says Darryl Jurkiewicz, then the association president, who expected the zone be on Elliott St.
That makes much more sense,” he said. “When the signs went up on Curley St., we were as blindsided as anyone.”
Jurkiewicz then contacted the owners of the inn, as well as the Parking Authority, and asked if the space could be moved to Elliott St.
He says for him, the controversy about the zone’s location is not only about the space, but also about the city’s process.
“The INN at 2920 are great neighbors, and have been great neighbors since they opened. This is really about the city having a process in place for residents to vet their concerns. That’s why I think we need legislation that would require community input before a passenger loading zone is created for a business,” he says.
The city’s valet parking law requires that advance written notice of the application be provided to the adjacent property owners and
the neighborhood associations on file with the Department of Planning.
Though it results in similar parking restrictions, the application for a passenger loading zone has no such requirements.
Ritter says asking that the zone be moved to Elliott St. is a nice gesture on the park of the owners of the inn.
“But I wish it was a more open process from the beginning,” he says.
Ritter might get his wish.Jurkiewicz says that he believes Councilman
James Kraft is drafting passenger loading zone legislation that would ostensibly require community involvement in passenger loading zone decisions.
Kraft’s office acknowledged that draft legislation was in process, but declined to provide details.
“Parking is crucial. City life shouldn’t be this difficult,” Jurkiewicz says.
It might not have to be.According to Jurkiewicz, the Parking
Authority recently asked the owners of the inn to arrange a meeting with the residents of their block of Elliott St. to get their approval to move the zone from Curley to Elliott.
“Too bad they didn’t do that six months ago,” Jurkiewicz says, of the authority.
In another development, the owners of the inn recently reached another compromise with the Curley St. residents.
If the zone has to remain on Curley St., the owners say it could be in effect from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.—12 hours per day instead of 24—says Munroe.
“But the Parking Authority will make the final determination,” he adds.

org, Czech, Slovak and Polish immigrants started the Baltimore organization to retain a sense of community.
“The Sokols have been very involved in the betterment of Baltimore since the word go,” said Rokos.
Sokol Baltimore had a facility at Hopkins, Gay and Preston streets starting in 1902. In 1954, the group moved to a building at 2931 E. Madison St. In 1998, Sokol Baltimore moved to St. Patrick’s Parish Hall on Broadway in Upper Fell’s Point, and remained there until the 2011 earthquake.

Sokol: Old Czech organization, open to all
of the revival of the Czech nation after the religious wars 300 years earlier,” said Rokos. “It was a movement to recapture the Czech spirit.”
He said that Czechs got together to exercise “under the principle of ‘sound body—sound mind.’” Gymnastics was the logical physical discipline, because “it was thought that this would be a way to perfect the human form,” and extensive equipment was unnecessary.
Sokol meetings were “also a cover,” Rokos added, for educational discussion on democracy and the exchange of ideas. He said that by 1919, Sokol “had become the nucleus of the Czechoslovakian army.”
The powerful movement of body and spirit attracted substantial enemies over the years, Rokos noted.
“When the Nazis came in in 1938, the first thing they did was outlaw Sokol,” he said. “When the Communists came in 1948, they outlawed Sokol.”
Sokol practitioners were in tiptop shape, Rokos said, and 90 percent of them passed the physical for the draft during WorldWar II.
While the Sokol movement officially began in Bohemia (later the Czech Republic) in 1862, it came to Baltimore very soon after, just 10 years later in 1872. According to the organization’s website, sokolbaltimore.

Arrest made in Canton attack; fundraiser planned for February 5by ERIK ZyGMONT EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM
Police have made an arrest in the Jan. 14 brick attack and robbery on the 3400 block of Foster Ave. in Canton, which left Baltimore Sun employee Jonathan Fogg with, according to his own blog, “six skull fractures, eight to 10 missing and damaged teeth and four broken fingers.”
Last week, Mustafa Mohammed Ali Eraibi, 19, was arrested and charged with attempted first degree murder in the attack, as well as attempted second degree murder and various assault, weapons and theft charges. Attempted first degree murder could carry a life sentence.
Police reports state that the victim was walking from his car, parked on the 3400 block of Foster Ave., to his home when he noticed someone across the street on a BMX bicycle. As the victim, later revealed to be Fogg through other sources, walked to his home, the suspect approached and asked for a cigarette. When the victim replied that he didn’t smoke, the suspect, who was wearing a ski mask, reportedly implied that he had a gun, and the victim threw him his wallet.
Nevertheless, the suspect allegedly threw the victim to the ground, took more of his property including his car keys, and then hit him in the head with a landscaping brick. The suspect then drove off in Fogg’s 2009 Toyota Prius.
In charging documents, Detective Hinkley wrote that two days after the attack, she was advised that a credit card stolen in the incident was used at a 7-Eleven on W. Baltimore St. She later learned that the card had also been used at two other 7-Elevens, about one hour after the attack. Surveillance footage showed a light-skinned male in a Cincinnati Reds cap, and a photo was circulated to media outlets.
According to the charging documents, less than a week later, Patrol Officer A. Jones forwarded the name “Mustafa Eraibi” to Detective Hinkley. Jones had seen Eraibi in Highlandtown, near the Markets at Highlandtown grocery store and taken his information.
Using police databases, Hinkley pulled a recent arrest photo of Eraibi and believed him to be the same person in the 7-Eleven surveillance footage. She then, according to charging documents, responded to the Markets at Highlandtown, and viewed photos of Eraibi taken there on Jan. 22, when he allegedly
attempted to steal food. With those photos, in which he was wearing the same Cincinnati Reds cap as in the 7-Eleven footage, Hinkley then positively identified the suspect, according to the police documents.
In his blog, jonathanfogg.webs.com, Fogg calls the quick arrest “outstanding work” and says he is very thankful, but does not wish to discuss it further.
“I’d rather look ahead than behind, and certainly in the coming days I’ll have to rehash the events of last week more than enough times,” he writes.
Soon after the attack, a fundraiser was launched on gofundme.com to help Fogg recover. The page, gofundme.com/6ba5gk, had raised $29,567 from 776 donors as of the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 28. Another fundraiser, “Count on Canton,” has been launched with help from StayClassyCanton.com and local restaurants and businesses. On Wednesday, Feb. 5, participating establishments will donate a portion of proceeds toward Fogg’s recovery. Participants include: The Chasseur, Verde, Blue Hill Tavern, Tavern on the Square, Smaltimore, Shiso Tavern, Saute, Pierpoint, Looney’s Mama’s on the Half Shell, Nacho Mama’s, Annabel Lee Tavern, 2910 on the Square, Canton Ace Hardware and DAP Products.

The DPW offers the following tips to help protect water lines: Let a thin stream of cold water run from a basement faucet. The stream should be a continuous flow, about the thickness of a
pencil lead. This water can be caught in a bucket and used later as laundry or dish water. If your pipe is frozen, gently warm it with hot air from a blow dryer at the point where it enters your house. The DPW maintains outdoor water lines,up to and including the meter. Water lines running from the meter to the house, as well as internal plumbing, are the responsibility of the property owner. For water emergencies in Baltimore City, please call 311.

It’s doubtful that anyone in Baltimore knows more about Edgar Allan Poe than local actor David Keltz, 69, who has portrayed the Bard from Wichita, Kan., to the Czech Republic, as well as locally.
“I could talk about Poe for hours,” Keltz says, though that’s not completely accurate.
He could talk AS Poe for hours—five hours, to be exact, as he has about five hours’ worth of Poe’s stories, poems, lectures and correspondence committed to rote memory.
Locals may know him from the Poe-themed Annabel Lee Tavern, where he performs a couple nights per month. Keltz has also done shows at the Southeast Anchor Library, and he periodically leads a bus tour of Poe-centric sites in Baltimore, of which there are many.
Before appearing as Baltimore’s Bard, Keltz lent his acting talent to portrayals of D.H. Lawrence and H.L. Mencken. He also portrayed Capt. John Smith, sailing on a 1990 Earth Day voyage that ended for him in Baltimore.
Then, in 1991, “I heard the University of Maryland was looking for someone to do Poe on Halloween night,” Keltz said.
He performed his first show as Edgar Allan Poe at the real Poe’s grave site, near Westminster Hall at W. Fayette and Greene streets. Keltz immediately fell in love with what he was doing; looking up at the costumed audience in the dark, he said, was “fantastic.”
Thus began Keltz fitting career as the reincarnation of Edgar Allan Poe—fitting because the actor has been enamored of the writer since his seventh-grade classroom at Fort Rucker, Ala.
“The teacher left us alone, and had us read a short story while she was out of the room. I was expecting, you know, one of those dumbed-down school stories. Instead, I was captured by the very first line, and I
actually read it twice before she came back in,” said Keltz.
The story was Poe’s “The Tell Tale Heart,” in which a madman—all the while insisting on his sanity—relates how he killed his elderly housemate and then dismembered and hid the body under the floorboards.
That summer, Keltz devoured Poe’s other works.
“The Tell Tale Heart” would become the first Poe piece Keltz performed, and it remains a mainstay in his arsenal. After that came other well-known classics, such as “The Black Cat,” to which all cat-haters can relate, and “Hop-Frog,” the tale of a crippled dwarf who takes the ultimate revenge on his king, “sort of an anti-bullying story,” according to Keltz.
Performing for women’s clubs and at corporate events as well as more traditional venues such as schools and dinner theater, the actor has mastered many of Poe’s lesser-known but equally entertaining works.
“The Spectacles” is a humorous, cautionary tale for handsome young men who choose to preserve their good looks rather than take care of their poor vision. What good is being good looking when you end up marrying your great-grandmother?
Keltz is not just an authority on Poe’s contribution to literature; he’s an authority on the man himself. Before I met Keltz, I had a picture in my head of Poe as a painfully shy, frail, lost-soul type of person.
While he could take on those characteristics at times, and he “had that kind of look,” Keltz portrays a man who, though not without demons, was full of life and vitality. Poe was quite athletic, according to Keltz, and had a particular talent for “fisticuffs,” or boxing.
“Apparently, he had a lot of stamina and

True! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story. It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees --very gradually --I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should
an ability to take a beating,” said Keltz, describing one account in which Poe allows himself to be pummeled, “over and over again,” before suddenly going on the offensive and ending the fight quickly.
Keltz said that the description reminds him of the scene in “Raging Bull” in which Jake LaMotta remains standing under a brutal beating at the hands of “Sugar Ray” Robinson.
Another anecdote shows just how much the literary scene has changed since Poe’s time. Can anyone imagine a poetry contest of today resulting in a knock-down, drag-out fight? When all six of Poe’s short-story efforts for a short-story and poetry contest held by the “Baltimore Saturday Visiter” stood head-and-shoulders above any contribution of any other writer, the judges panel agreed to give him the $50 (a very tidy sum back then) prize. But to award him the prize for best poem was simply too much, argued John Hewitt, editor of the magazine.
“Therefore, the prize should go for the poem I have submitted,” imitated Keltz.
Poe, not about to roll over and take it, waited at the front door of the magazine for Hewitt to arrive, and when he did, told him, “Sir, you obtained that prize from me by underhanded means.”
When Hewitt replied that Poe, in insulting the judges panel, was insulting gentlemen, Poe retorted, “I did not insult them, for they are gentlemen, but I am insulting you.”
The two erupted into a brawl, and the friends of the fighters pulled the two men apart.
“Hewitt and his friends would say that he won the fight,” shrugs Keltz. “Poe and his friends would say that he won.”
Poe was also a strong swimmer. He swam six miles of the James River, “against what was described as a ‘capricious and treacherous’ current,” said Keltz, and then completed the exercise by casually strolling the six miles back to his starting point.
Keltz reveals other interesting facts about Poe. While today famous for his horror stories and poetry, Poe’s early fame—or infamy—came from his written critiques of other authors’ works. He could be harsh; his nicknames were “The Comanche of Literature” and “The Tomahawk Man.”
“He did not think much of American literature at the time,” commented Keltz.
Nevertheless, the periodicals he critiqued for increased their circulation dramatically.
Keltz performs regularly in Baltimore. His website is DavidKeltz.com.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1Davis: Major takes job at CCBC Essexand police. “He was a good commander. We had a good working relationship.”
Joann Masopust, a community activist and president of the Fell’s Point Community Organization, praised Davis’ responsiveness — to all categories of problems.
“Major Davis did not trivialize issues people in Fell’s Point presented to him, even if those issues were different that those in other parts of the city,” Masopust said. “I particularly valued having someone in charge who took our concerns seriously...He didn’t say, ‘Oh, you people are complaining about X, and over here, we have Y going on.’ I’ll miss him.”
Victor Corbin, another activist and president of the Fells Prospect Community Association, said he also appreciated Davis’ responsiveness.
“He would take calls any time of the day or night,” Corbin said. “I have enjoyed working with Major Davis over the last several years; I would like to thank him for his support of Fells Prospect.”
Reciprocally, Davis, who was born and raised in Baltimore—Hampden, specifically—said that he is very grateful the community’s support, which is particularly strong in the Southeastern District.
“It’s one of the best communities to be a police in,” he said. “I think we’ve got a really strong relationship with the community.”
State Senator Bill Ferguson (D-46th) said that he was sorry to see Davis leave.
“Major Davis has been an amazing asset and leader for Southeast neighborhoods, and, while I wish him the absolute best in his new endeavors, I and the residents of the Southeastern District are regretful to see his departure,” said Ferguson.
Davis counts major building improvements at the Southeastern District—including the new fitness and shower facilities and roll-call room—as among the most substantial upgrades the district has received over the years.
In terms of crime, the major said he was very happy in 2011, when the Southeastern District totaled the lowest number of homicides—10—since at least 1970, which is the last year for which the district has statistics.
“It was 10 too many,” he added, “butstill a significantly low number in crimefor us.”
All things considered, Davis said, “I like to think there’s been some vast improvement
in the Southeastern District.”How to keep that going? Davis has some
advice for his successor:“Keep a positive attitude—fight through
the frustrations,” he said. “Make sure that you establish and continue the relationships with the neighborhoods. Remember you have some really good cops here.”
Another tip: “Surround yourself with good people.”
Davis said that he has always done that in the Southeastern District, to interesting results.
“Every single operations lieutenant and every single captain who has worked here with me has been promoted to higher command ranks,” he said. “Three are now my bosses!”
“I like to think I had something to do with that,” Davis added.
“What I think made [Davis] so successful here,” said Southeastern Operations Lieutenant William Colburn, “was that he truly cared for the cops he worked with and for the residents. It’s more than a job; you have to care.”
Adamski said Captain Deron Garrity will take over command of the Southeastern District in Davis’ absence. Davis will attend his last Southeastern District Police Community Relations Council meeting on Monday, Feb. 3, 7 p.m., at the Southeastern District station. The meeting will be more of a party for Davis than a formal meeting, she said.
Davis, 47, will be taking a job as assistant director of public safety for the Community College of Baltimore County Essex Campus.
He said that what he will miss most about the Southeastern District is “the people—the people I work with here and also the community. I’ve worked with, no doubt about it, some of the best police in the country.”

Is Nick Markakis too expensive?
BIRDS HOUSE BY ANDY MINDZAK
Baltimore Orioles fans, you might want to soak in what could be the final year in Baltimore for Nick Markakis. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but something tells me that after 2014, Markakis will be wearing a different uniform.
Don’t get me wrong, I would love for Nick to stay with the Orioles, but I have about 17.5 million reasons why that won’t happen.
After the 2008 season, Markakis signed a six-year deal worth $66.1 million dollars, with the final year being a team option for 2015, which is worth $17.5 million.
After bursting on the scene in 2006, Markakis has played well but not exactly lived up to the high standards of that contract. His best two years came in 2007 and 2008, when he hit a combined .303 with 43 home runs, 199 runs batted in, and 91 doubles. Since then, he has yet to reach 20 HR in a season, and his doubles have declined every year since 2010.
2013 was arguably his worst year yet, as he batted a career-low .271 with only 10 HR and 24 doubles, giving him 34 total extra-base hits for the whole season, 634 at-bats.

Sure, he plays a Gold Glove caliber right field and is one of the best in the game, but when you are potentially paying $17.5 million for a right fielder, you would like to see a bit more offensive pop from him.
In Nick’s defense, he has been asked to hit leadoff many times, which could change his approach to just getting on base, but his on-base percentage last year was only .329, which wouldn’t cut it. Not for $17.5 million.
The Orioles have a $2 million buyout option, which they will likely take.
As a point of reference, Hunter Pence, who is about 7 months older than Nick, just signed a five year deal worth $90 million with the San Francisco Giants this offseason. Granted, his defense is nowhere near as good as Nick’s, but Pence hit 27 HR last year with 99 RBI while batting .283. Pence also smacked 35 doubles and stole 22 bases.
While I would love Nick to stay in Baltimore, I think he will be too expensive for them to keep around. The pickins seem slim as far as other potential free agents at the end of this year, so there could be a chance the O’s keep him, but knowing Angelos, he will go for a cheaper option.
