“She’s the first outsider in the board’s 80-year history,” said Stephan Fogleman, former chair of the Liquor Board’s three-member commission responsible for quasi-judicial decisions.

Fogleman recently left for a judgeship on the city’s Orphans Court. “For years, these were political patronage jobs,” Fogleman said of

the Liquor Board’s administrative positions. “You had to know somebody. I don’t think she’s even met a Baltimore City Council member.”

According to Fogleman, Bailey-Hedgepeth was chosen because she

The Baltimore City Liquor Board has hired a replacement for Liquor Board executive secretary Samuel Daniels Jr., who stepped down from the position last July.

Michelle Bailey-Hedgepeth, currently town manager of Capitol Heights in Prince George’s County, Md., takes over the reins of the Liquor Board’s administrative arm on June 1.

Bailey-Hedgepeth is the first woman in the history of the board to hold the position, and ostensibly the first executive secretary who didn’t get the job through political patronage.

Dig team makes big find in Patterson ParkBy ErIK ZyGMoNt [email protected]

A couple weeks into the archeological dig at Patterson Park, the dig team—which includes volunteers from the community—has made a major find.

Last week, Field Supervisor Jason Shellenhamer and archeologist Ryun Papson, both of the Louis Berger Group, were assisting volunteer archeologists in dusting and cataloging bricks and sifting soil for small items at the site of a buried basement, just south of the Patterson Park White House.

The site was first identified by Dr. Tim Horsely, using two advanced tools: ground-penetrating radar and a magnetometer.

“We have a beautiful shadow of the footprint,” said Shellenhamer.

The archeological team believes that there is a strong possibility that the footprint belongs to Loudslanger’s Tavern, a crucial placein the defense of the City of Baltimore in 1814. Originally established as a butcher shop in 1810, according to historians, the tavern is

Patterson Park, Highlandtown residents demand Fat Cityby ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected]

Food & Wine Magazine’s ‘Top Producers and Purveyors of Cured Meats,’” according to the bio.

Fat City Craft Meat Co. is apparently using Spotmojo to help it choose a location from the neighborhoods of Canton, Fell’s Point, Brewers Hill, Hampden, Charles Village, Locust Point, Patterson Park and Highlandtown.

There seems to be a concentration of carnivores in the last two.

“Truly awesome feedback on our @spotmojo page,” tweeted Fat City last week, on Good Friday no less. “Highlandtown and Patterson Park are running away with it.”

At press time, Patterson Park was in the lead, with 47 voting for Fat City to set up shop in that neighborhood. Highlandtown was a close second with 40 votes, followed by Fell’s Point with four.

Kevin Bernhard, an active member of the Highlandtown Community Association, urged his neighborhood to embrace the business.

“I very rarely ever send stuff like this out,” Bernhard said in a mass email, “but this could be a great opportunity for the Highlandtown Mainstreet District, and Highlandtown, Canton and Patterson Park as a whole.

Fat City can be found on Spotmojo (search for Highlandtown, Baltimore), Facebook, Twitter (@FatCityMeat) and at FatCity Meat.com.

Rest assured, southeast Baltimore.“Whichever neighborhood we end up in,

rest assured we’ll have a sandwich called Patterson Pork on the menu,” posts Fat City Craft Meat Co. on Facebook.

Fat City Craft Meat Co., which describes itself as “a revival of the neighborhood butcher and sandwich shop,” is looking for a home in Baltimore, and the Southeast seems to be the frontrunner.

The establishment, which has not yet taken physical form, has managed to build considerable buzz for itself thanks to presence on Spotmojo (spotmojo.com), a platform that allows the public to suggest businesses for their communities, and for businesses to find welcoming and enthusiastic communities.

“We will purchase responsibly raised meat from area farms and hand craft our own cured, smoked and deli meats,” say Fat City proprietors on spotmojo.com. “We will create a casual atmosphere where you can stop in and buy some house-made salami and bacon, grab a real pastrami sandwich for lunch, or get a pork loin roast to take home for dinner.”

According to Spotmojo, Eben Altmann is the entrepreneur behind Fat City Craft Meat Co. Altmann, according to a brief bio published on the site, has a history with both the Mid Atlantic’s Red Apron Butchery and California’s Fatted Calf Charcuterie, “two of

Día del Niño offers free kids’ activities

If the Latino community’s annual free family event grows any larger, Patterson Park’s Pagoda hill will be filled beyond capacity.

This Saturday, April 26, 11 a.m.-2 p.m., is the fourth annual Día del Niño (translation: Chidren’s Day). What started as a 500-attendee event doubled to 1,000 two years ago, and doubled again to 2,000 last year.

“This year would be a good year to level out,” jokes Katie Long, program director and Hispanic liaison for the Friends of Patterson Park, contemplating the idea of 4,000 people gathered near the Pagoda this Saturday.

The Friends are presenting the event in partnership with a “who’s who” of Southeast groups and establishments: the Creative Alliance, Patterson Park Public Charter School, Mis Raices (translations “My Roots”), Education Based Latino Outreach, Gallery Church, the Patterson Park Audubon Center, Breath of God Lutheran Church, the Southeast Anchor Library, Johns Hopkins Bayview, the Southeast Community Development Center, Docs in the Park and Baltimore City Recreation and Parks.

One of the central tenets of the Día del Niño is that all activities are free.

“There is nothing you have to pay for,” says Long. “That was important for us because we didn’t want parents to have to make decisions about what events their children could do.”

by ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected]

Time is the only constraint for kids who want to get their faces painted, build piñatas, create and launch paper rockets, or exchange the books they’ve read and enjoyed for new ones. There will be other games and music, including performances by “Bailes de mi Pierra,” a traditional Latin American dance troupe that will bring kids into their routines.

The Southeast CDC, a housing counseling and economic development organization located in Highlandtown, will be looking for kids to design and build little houses.

Long says that Día del Niño is inspired by similar celebrations across Latin America.

“It’s a strong concept,” she says, “just like Mothers Day or Fathers Day over here.”

Long stresses that the Latino community hosting the event want all local children and their families to feel more that welcome and enjoy the day, which is aimed specifically at kids up to age 12.

“It’s not exclusive at all,” Long says. She says that the Día del Niño in southeast

Baltimore was conceived about five years ago as a Patterson Park event by the Friends of Patterson Park’s Spanish-language board.

“They thought it would be really good to have a Día del Niño that everybody could come to,” says Long.

Prior, a Día del Niño was held at Patterson Park Public Charter School, with the involvement of Mis Raices, a Latino mothers’ group at the school that promotes family-centric events throughout the Southeast.

After a violent robbery last Wednesday, members of a Butchers Hill church were shaken but undeterred.

The robbery, which involved five teenage male suspects, according to police reports, occurred at about 10 p.m. on Wednesday, April 16, in front of Transfiguration of Our Lord Russian Orthodox Church, at the southeast corner of Collington Ave. and Baltimore St.

Church spokesman Matushka Natalia said that the priest--Rev. Ioann Barbus--and his two sons and another young man were preparing the building for Easter weekend services.

When they stepped out in front of the building, “they were accosted by a gang of youths that pulled a gun on them and demanded they give up their belongings,” Natalia said.

Police reports state that victims reported that one of the attackers began to hit one of the victims in the face with his fist, and the suspects made off with about $20 in cash and an iPhone valued at $700 were taken.

Butchers Hill church staff robbed Natalia said that Rev. Barbus stepped out to

check on the commotion, and one of the youths put a gun to his chest before the attackers fled.

The police report states that they fled to the east on Baltimore St. The incident remains under investigation.

Natalia said that one of the young men who was attacked is a recent immigrant from Moldova who had just received his green card.

Though crime statistics indicate that robberies and assault have occurred at times in Butchers Hill, Natalia said that this was the first such incident that had involved the church, which has been at that location since 1963.

“This was very very troubling,” said Natalia, though he added that “the police response was very good.”

The incident did not deter church members from attending services over Easter weekend.

“People just came as usual because we sort of believe in a higher authority,” said Natalia. “Easter night, the church was very full; it was very heartening.”

CORRECTIONS: The Baltimore Guide would like to make a few corrections to two of last week’s articles. In the story “Elizabeth Smith named interim chair of Liquor Board,” the headline is misleading. Smith was not “named” anything; she has simply assumed the position of chair until the governor decides who the liquor commissioners will be.

In “Romani, candidate for delegate, says resident retention is key,” there were three factual errors. First, Matthew Hornbeck has been principal of Hampstead Hill Academy for over 10 years, not just 10 years. Second, Mark Martin took over as principal at Commodore John Rodgers Elementary and Middle School three years ago, not 16 years ago. Finally, Bill Romani was president of the One House at a Time from January 2011 through December 2011, rather than through July 2011.

City public embraces farm-to-table transaction through CSABY ERIK [email protected]

While the majority of the public wades into the debate of whether Grocery Store X has “better produce” than Grocery Store Y, CSA participants sit back and wait for what is widely considered the best stuff to be delivered to a nearby location or even directly to their homes.

In CSA—community supported agriculture— business models may vary, but the premise is usually the same. Customers pay up front for “shares” in a farm’s yield, and receive periodic—often weekly—shipments of goods from the farm.

There are some risks—if it’s a bad year for rutabaga, for example, then customers will get little or no rutabaga and more of something else, radishes maybe. Farmers and customers often say that the freshness and flavor of local produce justifies the lower degree of customer control.

The Baltimore Guide has spoken to a few CSA farmers, large and small, and we found that they have some things in common.

PurposeWe spoke to three farmers: Alex Smith of

Purple Sol Farm, a newer, smaller-scale operation based in Phoenix, Md., and to Joan Norman of One Straw Farm, a larger, long-standing operation in White Hall, as well as to Brett Sippel of RoofTop Hot, a CSA/market hybrid with a shop in Highlandtown.

All noted that bringing fresh produce to city residents was a major motivation in their businesses.

Smith, 25, is in his second year of running Purple Sol Farm. He has just moved his operation from Pennsylvania to Phoenix, Md., at the edge of metro Baltimore. He grew up in the city’s Homeland neighborhood, but gravitated toward Pennsylvania starting with his undergraduate years at Dickinson College.

Smith remained in Pennsylvania—where farming is arguably more entrenched—for a few years, working for a larger farm and learning the business before establishing Purple Sol Farm with his eye on Baltimore.

“Baltimore is the area I want to serve with good food,” Smith said. “I’ve got a lot of hometown pride.”

He sees CSA as a community service.“As an environmental studies major, you

pretty much just study what’s wrong with the world, socially and ecologically,” he said. “I pretty much saw food at the center of all the problems.”

But it doesn’t have to be that way, he added.“I see food as a community builder,” Smith

clarified. “It made sense for me to do a CSA

where I’m interacting with the community.”Norman, too, cited customer service and

interaction as major reasons for adding a CSA component to One Straw Farm in 1999. Established in 1983, the farm originally sold its produce wholesale to retailers such as Whole Foods and at farmers markets. It still does, but the CSA component has become the biggest part of the business.

Norman said that her family’s motivator for establishing a CSA was “this feeling that we were shipping our food around the country and none of our neighbors could get it.”

“People kept saying, ‘Where can I buy your produce?’” Norman recounted. “I’d say ‘Whole Foods.’”

However, she noted, One Straw Farm’s tomatoes comprised just a variable fraction of the store’s total stock of local tomatoes, and it was not possible for a customer to specifically purchase produce originating from One Straw Farm.

“It became apparent that we would need a method to make it happen,” she said, and that is when the farm started a CSA component.

Brett Sippel and Sabrina Mincey, proprietors of Highlandtown’s RoofTop Hot, actually

started with a garden on their city rooftop (hence the name). They initially shared their yield with friends, and later started a CSA and sold their goods at local farmers markets.

“The whole idea is that we’ve been trying to keep it as local and as healthy as possible,” said Sippel in a previous interview. “If you can source what you have from the beginning, it’s easier to do that.”

ScopeAs previously stated, the scope and size of

CSA operations vary. Purple Sol Farm, One Straw Farm and RoofTop Hot give a good cross section of the variances between different CSAs.

Purple Sole Farm is a CSA in the strict sense of the term. Though comparatively small, the operation’s 40 customers (at present) are located in the city as well as along the I-83 corridor from Baltimore north. Smith currently rents farming land in Phoenix, but he hopes to buy in the future.

“I’ll be doing this until I’m rich and famous at least,” Smith said. “I’m pretty confident that farming is the life for me. And I want to be in direct contact with my customers, so CSA is

the way for me.”Not only is he close to his customers; he’s

close to the land.“I joke about turning money into vegetables

and back into money, but that’s my bank account in the ground,” he said. “That’s my 401k up on the hill.”

One Straw Farm has between 1,700 and 1,800 CSA customers, and presence at five farmers markets on top of that. The farm still sells its remaining produce wholesale.

“We’re happy to feed you!” Norman said. In 1997, One Straw launched the CSA side

of the business with just seven customers.“No one knew what [CSA] was,” said

Norman. “It was Baltimore; let’s be honest,” she added, joking about the city’s “small-town mentality.”

“But we love to be there,” she said. RoofTop Hot is different in that the business

operates on a “flexible CSA model.” “Market members” get points, which they can use on any product carried in RoofTop Hot’s store location at Conkling and Bank streets in Highlandtown. Once the selection has been made, members can either opt for home delivery or in-store pickup.

John Ostrowski, the well-known former owner and operator of Ostrowski’s Famous Polish Sausage, 524 S. Washington St., died last Wednesday.

He was 72.Beyond excellent sausage--Ostrowski’s is

iconic in southeast Baltimore--Ostrowski was known for his colorful sense of humor.

“There was always laughing and joking,” said Carleen Miller, who worked with Ostrowski for years during holidays and festivals. When Ostrowski’s health started deteriorating about three years ago, she came on board in a more full-time capacity.

“He was amazing,” said Miller. “There weren’t many Johnny O’s.”

When Ostrowski passed away last week, Miller printed out his signature joke--which is just a tad off-color for a family newspaper--and posted it in the shop’s window.

Anyone who has visited the shop and met Ostrowski has likely heard the joke, which involves the infamous “Little Johnny,” a horse, and a parcel courier.

Ostrowski’s wife, Joan, says that her husband’s first love was his family.

“He was extremely family-oriented,” she

The Southeast loses a friend and iconsaid, adding that customers at his sausage shop were “almost like family.”

Joan Ostrowski says that her husband had a very close relationship with their son Christopher, who died in 1995. The two spent countless hours playing golf together, she recalls.

“They already have a tee time somewhere, I’m sure,” she said.

Both are buried next to the seventh hole at a Dulaney Valley golf course.

The couple’s daughter, Jennifer O. Whetzel, says that her father’s success was likely due to his being a people person.

“He was so very personable,” Whetzel said. “He loved to tell jokes and he loved to feed people, and make sure their drinks were always full,” she said.

“My dad loved being able to talk to all of his customers,” she added. “And I think they loved that he could visit with them, too.”

In addition to golf, Joan Ostroski said that her husband enjoyed the local theater, in which she participated. He volunteered to record the plays on camera until the staff noticed that “the main characters are over there on one side of the stage, and your wife is over there on the other side with the chorus,

doing absolutely nothing, and that’s where your camera is.”

“He said, ‘Yeah,’” remembered Joan Ostrowski.

John Ostrowski passed away just before Easter, a huge holiday for the sausage business. John Reusing, who owns the neighboring Bad Decisions bar and now owns Ostrowski’s Famous Polish Sausage, which he bought at the end of last year, said that holiday customers were greatly saddened to learn of John Ostrowski’s death.

“There were people crying in line on Friday,” he said, referring to the queue of sausage-buyers that spills out onto the sidewalk every year.

Reusing was neighbors with Ostrowski for six years before purchasing his shop.

“He was a good neighbor and a funny guy,” Reusing said, “a character.”

In addition to his wife and daughter, Ostrowski is survived by his daughter’s husband, Rick Hall; his two sisters, Alfreda Degheri and Carolyn Devlin, both of Florida, and a step-grandson.

A burial Mass is scheduled for Friday, April 25, 10 a.m., at Holy Rosary Church, 400 S. Chester St.

criminal backgrounds of liquor license applicants,” said Matt Gonter, who lives in the Patterson Park neighborhood.

He said he has no idea how the license holder of a now-defunct tavern in his community obtained a license in the first place.

“He was arrested for serving alcohol at his old restaurant without a [liquor ] license and [also] for selling booze (that he stole from a liquor store) while doing contracting work there—without a license,” Gonter recalled.

Edward Marcinko, who lives in Upper Fells Point, said he’s concerned with the way the board handles testimony and evidence in the case of petitions at Liquor Board hearings.

“Petitions, whether from bar owners or neighbors, are held to no standard of verification at all. A bar owner can present a petition with illegible addresses, nonexistent addresses, and so on, and the board will accept such a petition as perfectly legitimate. The board will give it the same weight as a hard-won neighborhood petition with bonafide signatures and addresses. The board needs to verify every signature against voter records,” Marcinko said.

Regarding license revocations, he added:“The Liquor Board will do everything in

its power to keep a Liquor license valid, despite the problems that the establishment

had everything the board was looking for in a manager.

“She had experience with audits,with budget squeezes, and layoffs—all concerns that the board is dealing with now, or will address in the near future,” he said.

Before beginning her position in Capitol Heights, Bailey-Hedgepeth was the assistant to the city manager of the city of North Las Vegas. She has a master’s degree in public administration from Perdue University and more than 15 years of experience in city management.

One credential the new executive secretary lacks however, is a law degree--a qualification described as “highly preferred” in the agency’s own job description for the executive secretary position.

Becky Lundberg Witt, an attorney who maintains the blog Booze News for the Community Law Center, told the Baltimore Brew that a highly qualified executive secretary should have a law degree to “decipher the dense statutory language of Article 2B” [Maryland liquor laws].

In an email to the Guide, Witt said: “We were hoping for someone with a law degree, because the executive secretary does need to understand Article 2B, the section of Maryland state law that outlines alcohol regulation, as well as the case law interpreting Article 2B. But, of course, I’d be happy to answer any questions that she may have.”

Witt noted, however, that Bailey-Hedgepeth’s management experience could be an asset to the agency.

“The audit highlighted the complete failure of management of the agency–19 of 27 employees had no record of ever having had a performance evaluation, for example,” she said.

Witt said she’s optimistic about the new executive secretary.

State Senator Bill Ferguson, who represents the 46th District and was on the city delegation’s Liquor Board post-audit work group, doesn’t think a JD is essential.

“I am not at all concerned… The new Liquor Board reform law ensures that she has day-to-day access to the city’s law department for legal questions, and one of the three board commissioners will be required to be a lawyer under the new law,” Ferguson said.

The “new law” to which he refers is the Alcoholic Beverages Act of 2014, which passed through the General Assembly last month.

Brooke Lierman, a Fell’s Point attorney who has done work for the Community Law Center on revocations [La Raza in Highlandtown] and “zombie” liquor licenses

and is running for state delegate for the 46th District, concurs.

“A smart and objective individual could thrive in the role of executive secretary without a law degree, as long as any legal decisions or questions were referred to commissioners or general counsel to the agency,” she said.

Bailey-Hedgepeth’s liquor-related experi-ence includes three years as assistant to the city manager in Champaign, Ill, where she worked with the local liquor board.

She told the Guide she was drawn to the Baltimore City Liquor Board position for the challenges, which include implementing the reforms addressed in an audit released last year, as well as the new liquor legislation, which is purported to make the agency more modern, efficient, and accountable.

“Liquor issues are the same, whether in a smaller town or a large city. There are a lot of things I don’t know about the Liquor Board, but I have local government experience, and I know to expect the unexpected,” Bailey-Hedgepeth said.

One of the first tasks she’ll be charged with is, in accordance to the new liquor laws, coordinating the Liquor Board’s connection to Citistat, the city’s performance management system, which will make the agency’s progress, or lack of, public information.

Bailey-Hedgepeth joins the board a at time when the agency has been under particular scrutiny. In the last year alone, decisions by liquor commissioners have made front page news, and two recent license revocations were reversed.

Staff-wise, however, the last few years have been a comparatively stable time for the Liquor Board, whose checkered history is plagued by allegations of inefficiency and corruption among leadership.

In 1979, a Liquor Board commissioner and ex-state senator pleaded guilty to mail fraud and tax charges, according to an Aug. 31, 1979, Sun story. He died in a boating accident while awaiting sentencing.

In 1999, the former chief liquor inspector and a state delegate pleaded guilty to “conspiracy to thwart enforcement of state liquor laws.” They were sentenced to probation and community service and each fined $1,000, according to a February 3, 1999, Sun story.

Bailey-Hedgepeth said her official start date is June 1, but she wants to begin working as soon as possible.

“I will probably be in the Liquor Board offices some time in late May,” she said.

Southeast residents already have suggestions for what should be her top priorities.

“I would like to see better scrutiny of the

has caused. If a license is revoked by the Liquor Board then please let the license die. Stop letting the owner of the license sell the license for a profit.”

The new executive secretary said she is aware of the issues neighborhoods with a high concentration of liquor licenses face.

“I’m a taxpayer. I see this from a citizens’ perspective,” said Bailey-Hedgepeth. “I mean, who are we [the Liquor Board] really responsible to here?”

Bailey-Hedgepeth,who lives in Original Northwood in northeast Baltimore, said she hopes to give city residents an opportunity to meet her and share their concerns in person.

“I want to be accessible. I want the citizens to know me,” she said.

What the Flea?! So you discovered a flea or two on your pet, now what? Well, unfortunately, by the time you find a flea, the problem is already well-established, and it’s not pretty. On your pet, you’re seeing only 5 percent of the whole infestation, so where is the other 95 percent?

In. Your. Home.While the warmer weather is a

reminder that flea season has begun, and fleas do thrive in warm humid weather, they’re actually a threat all year round. The first step in preventing or fighting a flea infestation is to understand their ruthless life cycle.

It is a misconception that fleas jump from pet to pet. In actuality, the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) makes your pet its permanent home due to an endless supply of blood meals. Fleas are jumpers, leaping 10,000 times in a row—three football fields in length—until they find their host. So let’s jump into how these hearty and nimble pests infest and take over.

There are four stages of life: eggs, larvae, pupae, and adult fleas. The adult flea needs a blood meal to reproduce, so she finds your pet, hops on, and—within 1-2 days after her first meal—she lays her eggs.

Now the fun begins. A single flea can produce 50 eggs a day for up to 100 days, potentially generating thousands of eggs

during her life. Now imagine more than one flea. You do the math!

The saliva of a flea is irritating and allergenic. When your pet itches, scratches, plays and lounges around your house, she is dusting it with flea eggs. They fall off her body onto your rugs, carpets, bedding and lounge areas.

The eggs are barely visible to the naked eye and hatch into larvae within 10 days, depending on the temperature. The larvae are sensitive, so they burrow deep into your carpet, floors, and bedding.

The end result of the cycle? Your home becomes an ideal breeding ground—as the larvae consume the adult fleas’ blood-based fecal matter. Yes, they eat mom and dad’s poop to survive.

The larvae cocoon themselves and develop into pupae, each made virtually indestructible by its own protective layer. When the conditions are favorable, the pupae emerge from their cocoons as adult fleas. Then the cycle continues.

Aside from an infestation, fleas can cause hair loss, skin damage, hot spots, tapeworms, and even anemia if left untreated. There is no single method or insecticide to completely eradicate the problem, which is why prevention is best. Speak to your veterinarian about prevention or tackling an existing problem. Shoo flea!

One flea, Two fleas, Cat fleas,…Shoo fleas!

Quality Start – quali-i-ty-start – kwa-le-te start:

Definition: A quality start is a baseball statistic for a starting pitcher defined as a game in which the pitcher completes at least six innings and permits no more than three earned runs.

Example–The Atlanta Braves rotation really knows how to pitch well; they are tied for the Major League lead with 15 quality starts in only 18 games played.

Another example–The Baltimore Orioles pitching staff is terrible; they have only five quality starts in 17 games.

Yup, that’s true. While Arizona is dead last with three,

Baltimore has the second lowest total of quality starts with five. Pretty terrible.

Another scary statistic: The O’s pitching staff as a whole has hitters batting .276 against them, also second worst, this time to the Philadelphia Phillies who are getting hammered at a .285 clip.

There are 13 pitchers who have four quality starts so far this year. Thirteen.

A few names—Felix Hernandez and Andrew Cashner--sound like they belong in that group, but even Aaron Harang has 4 quality starts.

Aaron Harang! Something isn’t right here.

Chris Tillman leads the team with two quality starts and has been solid all year, pitching to a 1.71 ERA. Bud Norris, Wei-Yin Chen, and Miguel Gonzalez have one quality start each this year, and if you do the math, that means Ubaldo Jimenez has zero. Yes, the Ubaldo Jimenez who signed that nice four-year deal this offseason has yet to make a quality start in 2014.

Here are some numbers that might make you throw up in your mouth just a little. Miguel Gonzalez will be earning $529,000 this year. Chris Tillman will make $546,000 this year. Wei-Yin Chen will make $4.072 million this year and Bud Norris will earn $5.3 million this year.

If you add those four pitchers’ salaries up, you get $10,447,000, or about $803,000 LESS than what Ubaldo Jimenez is making this year. That’s right, Jimenez makes more than the other four pitchers COMBINED, yet he doesn’t even have a quality start.

Currently the O’s are in last place at 8-9 but are only two games behind the first place New York Yankees.

Despite the O’s pitching woes, things could be a lot worse. Let’s just hope they get on track and can figure things out sooner rather than later, so their two game deficit doesn’t become more.

What’s a quality start? The O’s don’t know either...

Archeologists from the Louis Berger Group thoroughly sifted soil taken from a dig site just south of the Patterson Park White House. “We’re looking for animal bones and militaria – anything associated with the battle itself and also the people who lived there,” said field leader Jason Shellenhamer. | Photo by Erik Zygmont

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

ARCHEOLOGY: Dig to continue through mid-May

historically significant for several reasons.First, Loudslanger’s Tavern is possibly the

the butcher shop that gave Butcher’s Hill its name, Shellenhamer said. He noted that Loudslanger’s Tavern and other butchers were required to be located up on the hill because of “the smell and the mess.”

Second, Loudslanger’s Tavern was used by Maj. Gen. Samuel Smith, commander of the American land forces that protected Baltimore, as a headquarters, according to historian Scott Sheads.

Sheads’ blog, Maryland1812.wordpress.com, is worth consulting for a wealth of information on the War of 1812.

Sheads mentioned Loudslanger’s Tavern at a January kickoff and informational meeting on the archeological dig, which is scheduled to continue through mid-May, on a Tuesday-through-Saturday schedule, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. “Saturdays are the main public days,” said Shellenhamer, though the team welcomes questions from park passers-by throughout the dig.

The archeologists will also be engaging the public at upcoming Patterson Park events such as Día del Niño, near the Pagoda this weekend, as well as the Kinetic Sculpture Race on May 3 and the Butcher’s Hill Crafts Fair and Flea Market on May 10.

Baltimore Heritage, which is sponsoring the dig with the Friends of Patterson Park, the Louis Berger Group and other historical groups and businesses, held a couple volunteer workshops last week to educate the public on how to assist at an archaeological site.

Last week, residents rotated into the archeological team as it continued its excavation and cataloging. The archaeological

team reported that over 50 volunteers had signed up to help out.

The Baltimore Heritage blog, available at baltimoreheritage.org, has been reporting discoveries as they occur.

In addition to the suspected site of Loudslanger’s Tavern, the team has uncovered coins, ceramics, and a French gunflint that may have been used with a French rifle during the War of 1812, according to the blog.

Loudslanger’s Tavern is one of many discoveries that could be unearthed by the project, dubbed “We Dig Hampstead Hill.” Hampstead Hill is an old name for Patterson Park, specifically the northwest corner, and it is believed that this was the central spot where—toward the end of the War of 1812—a huge force of Americans, mostly volunteers, gave pause to British invaders and saved Baltimore from the sacking and burning suffered by Washington, D.C., earlier in the war.

Last week, Shellenhamer mentioned that the team had “found some teeth today,” another discovery consistent with a butcher shop.

If the foundation south of the White House is Loudslanger’s Tavern, than it was also used as a headquarters for Union soldiers during the Civil War, Shellenhamer said.

As of yet, nobody has made a definitive statement on the origin of the brick structure.

“Has our search for the War of 1812 already turned up the original butcher on Butcher’s Hill?” asks Eli Pousson, Baltimore Heritage’s director of Preservation and Outreach on the organization’s blog.

“Only additional research and archeology this spring can help answer that question.”

Remembering Your Birthday God saw you were getting tired,

And a cure was not to be.So he put his arms around youAnd whispered, “Come to me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you,And saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly,We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,Hard working hands at rest.

God broke your hearts to prove to us,He only takes the best.

(First day of the Divine Mercy Novena)

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