    Armed robbery at Fells Point toy storeOn Friday, January 29, aMuse, a toy store at

    1623 Thames St., was robbed at gunpoint.The incident occurred at approximately

    1:30 p.m. Security footage from the store of the suspect

    was recovered. He is identified as an African-American male in his 40s. He was wearing a long brown winter jacket, a gray hoodie a knit cap, and black shoes. He appeared to be about 6 ft. tall with some facial hair.

    According to the Southeast Police, the suspect entered the location and asked an employee for help picking out a toy. He then took a toy to the register as if he was going to pay for it when he pulled up his jacket, revealing a semi-automatic gun.

    He told the employee, This is what youre going to do. Youre going to open the register and put it in the bag or Ill shoot you. The suspect then came behind the counter to access the register and ordered the employee to go to the rear of the store.

    The suspect took an unknown amount of money from the register before fleeing the location.

    He left behind an orange bag that contained pill bottles, jewelry, and paperwork addressed to the name Bryson Tiller that was recovered during the investigation.

    There are unsubstantiated reports that the suspect was seen on the 1600 block of Lancaster St. prior to the robbery and that he might live in the nearby area.

    No injuries were reported. Anyone with information is encouraged to

    call the police or contact the Metro CrimeStoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.

    The fight for historic overlay in Fells Point gets heatedby GIANNA DECARLO [email protected]

    Under Transform Baltimore, a new city-wide zoning code, certain areas of Fells Point could allow for buildings to be built up to 100 feet high based on their zoning designations.

    For months, residents of Fells have protested this proposal, saying that such tall buildings would destroy the integrity and history of Fells Point.

    Their method of stopping this proposal is to get a historic overlay implemented for the district that would limit building height to 40 feet.

    To spread their message, husband and wife team Bob Matha and Kristi Povisal have created a Facebook page called Pride & Property. The page provides updates on the overlays proponents meetings with Councilman Jim Kraft and the citys Land Use Committee, which is currently voting on Transform Baltimore, while providing a forum for dissatisfied residents.

    The community really doesnt have a voice in this matter. I think its important that we have a voice and the community is heard. We started this page to have a place for people to voice their opinions, said Matha.

    He said that people have gelled with and fully supported the idea of the historic overlay.

    Posival said that allowing any developers to build whatever they want would destroy the historic character of the neighborhood. She expressed her worries that the city cares more about working with developers than choosing whats best for the neighborhoods. She added that large developments would not only ruin the character of Fells, but also exacerbate traffic and make the area less attractive to new potential residents.

    Theres a lot to lose, she said.Its a collection of different neighborhoods,

    said Matha about Baltimore. So if you just

    allow anything to be built here, you lose that character and you lose the attractiveness of the neighborhood. Nobody involved in this is an anti-tall building person, thats not what this is about. We all go to Harbor East and think its great, but this is a 250-year-old historic district, you just dont do that here, though. People dont come to Fells Point to see tall buildings.

    Pride & Property often publishes flyers online that criticizes the inaction from the citys councilpeople while calling for more community outrage.

    However, they warned that they will start to escalate this criticism.

    The couple is hoping to get their voices heard and be taken more seriously by putting pressure on City Council and by garnering more vocal community support through the page.

    Its a campaign. Were going to turn up the heat, really put on the pressure. Thats the only leverage we have, said Posival.

    They said they have received mixed responses to their page. While some accuse them of misinterpreting facts or spreading false information, others strongly support their efforts and are calling for more transparency from the government.

    According to them, supporters of the overlay have met with Councilman Kraft, but werent reassured by his response to the idea.

    We dont have much of a chance. The system is against us. The developers have a pretty strong hold on the city, said Posival.

    Our representatives represent the developers, added Matha.

    We dont feel defeated but it feels like its a long shot. But we have a lot of work to do and a lot of messages to roll out, said Matha.

    Public calls for harsher punishments from Liquior Board

    BY GIANNA DECARLO [email protected]

    On Wednesday, January 20, the Baltimore City Liquor Board held the first of their town hall-style public meetings at the Southeast Anchor Library.

    The meeting was part of the liquor boards outreach initiative to inform residents about the boards rules and regulations, which were updated for the first time since 1998, at the start of the year.

    Michelle Bailey-Hedgepeth, the boards executive secretary, said that the updated guidelines pushed for more public transparency as well as improved and increased communication with other city agencies.

    This year, we have heard a record number of cases. Were getting and being much more responsive to police reports. We have been trying to build bridges with other agencies, especially in regard to our technology, housing, and zoning, just trying to be more communicative with how we get information across, said Bailey-Hedgepeth.

    She explained that the board is working on digitizing all their files and making violation reports and dockets available via the internet. She said that within six months all the information will be open to the public.

    Bailey-Hedgepeth said they are working on making the system more automated and using 311 calls to guide their inspections.

    The type of reports that we get commonly from police and others are selling to minors, after hours violations, violence, drug sales, prostitution, and violations for live entertainment and loitering, she said.

    Bailey-Hedgepeth said that the community can help by calling 311 to report violations that they witness. She said specifics, like location and the date and the type of the violation, can make the process easier.

    The regulation rewrite came about after a 2013 city audit that revealed dysfunction and corruption within the liquor board. Following this, all of the boards commissioners were replaced and the regulations were then reevaluated.

    Bailey-Hedgepeth said this change allows for a new board, and a new approach to investigations and violations.

    In the summer of 2015, Governor Larry Hogan appointed Douglas Trotter as the new Liquor Board commissioner.

    The unique part of being on the liquor board is you have to balance two things, you have to balance the right of the licensee and you have to balance out the rights of the community. We take that very seriously in our consideration, how the community reacts to the liquor establishment, said Trotter.

    Trotter added that, as part of the rewriting process, the liquor board had to update their

    rules for adult entertainment. They also will be cracking down harder on underage drinking. The fine has been raised from $500 to $1000 for a first-time offense.

    He said the board is working with colleges like Towson University and Loyola College to create an underage drinking task force, as well as using the Baltimore Sheriffs Office for sting operations.

    The community was then allowed to comment on the changes.

    One resident, Matt Gonter, said that underage drinking should not be the number one concern of the board, especially when the city has bigger problems with their establishments.

    We are not in an enforcement role, we are not policemen, we dont have arrest authority, said Trotter, calling the liquor board a limited operation.

    Saying youre not an enforcement agency is wrong. Your sole purpose is to be an administrative agency who handles liquor licenses on either side of this when its enforcement of the liquor law because you do hold that power, responded Chrissy Anderson.

    Many also criticized the leniency of the liquor board towards problem bars.

    We feel like this current commission is favoring businesses over the community. Everybody that sits in here is pro-good business and we want good businesses in our neighborhood because thats what make us flourish. But if there are businesses bringing in drugs and prostitution, a $500 dollar fine or a slap on the wrist is going to do nothing. However, a suspension of 3, 6, 9 weeks can actually teach somebody a lesson, said Highlandtown resident, Kevin Bernhard.

    Bernhard added that bars who have been punished more severely are less likely to be repeat offenders. He called for a written policy that would concretely and clearly outline punishments so that the boards biases dont influence the final decision.

    We look at each case individually. We look at the evidence, we make a decision and figure out if the person is in violation or not. Then we look at their history, said Trotter about how the liquor board determines punishments.

    Other neighbors expressed concerns over the new rules and regulations being too vague.

    Thomas Akras, the liquor boards deputy executive secretary, said that this was to allow for discretion from the board.

    The new regulations will go through a revision review in five years.

    We want to keep balance between the community and the businesses, concluded Trotter.

    The location and date of the next public meeting is to be determined.

    Eastern Avenue block dedicatedto late SE police of cer

    On Saturday, January 30, the Southeast District of the Baltimore City police dedicated the 5700 block of Eastern Ave. to a deceased officer.

    In October, Officer Joseph Tracy Jr. passed away unexpectedly.

    He was off-duty and suffered a heart attack. His sudden death shocked the community who had come to know and trust him during his neighborhood patrols.

    At a ceremony at the newly christened Officer Joe Tracy Way, in front of the SEPD building, neighbors and members of the force spoke about the impact Tracy had on the community.

    Let them know that their colleagues, their friends, and their community still stands behind them and will continue to keep them in their thoughts and prayers. Were not just dedicating a street, were dedicating ourselves to safety in the community. We dedicate ourselves to uplifting our brothers and our sisters. We dedicate ourselves to making Baltimore an even better place to live, said Pastor Barry Hargrove of the Prince of Peace Baptist Church.

    Next to speak was Major Deron Garrity who joked that Tracy loved snow and wouldve enjoyed the snowfall the city experienced last week.

    We miss Joe, we truly do. Joe was the kind of guy that you could tell anything to and it would stay with him. He mentored a lot of people, said Garrity.

    Garrity was referencing one of Tracys passions, which was being an advisor in the police districts Explorers programs, which teaches the citys youth law enforcement and leadership skills.

    Tracys Explorers said the pledge of allegiance at the ceremony.

    Joes never going to be forgotten. Hes always going to be with us and I hope this little token of our esteem that you can definitely see that Joes with us, said Garrity.

    He offered his support to Tracys wife, Jolyn, and said that the SEPD will always have her back.

    Ive said it before and Ill say it again, were all family.

    Following the ceremony, the SEPD unveiled the districts new mobile command post, a large sleek black vehicle that is used for major police events. The command post was also dedicated to Tracy. Sgt. Featherstone said that Tracy would always man the command post, so the dedication was a fitting tribute.

    Teamwork prevailed in getting this offi cer back on the road. | Photo by Teri Sabatelli

    CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

    As the snow mounted and the wind intensified, streets became undrivable, cars were covered, and businesses closed. At some points, even the tow trucks and police vehicles got stuck in the snowdrifts.

    However, this didnt stop the tenacious, creative, and sometimes downright crazy residents of Baltimore from making the best of their snow days.

    They dealt with the weather in a number of different ways. A man in an abominable snowman costume entertained patrons at Plug Uglies Publick House and Mamas On The Half Shell, group snowball fights were planned like parties in Patterson Park and Fells Point, and Of Love and Regret served drinks at a snow bar outside.

    Some escaped their homes to make snow angels under the Natty Boh sign as others snowmobiled on Boston St. and sledded on Pagoda Hill. Many donated snow removal equipment, gloves, coats, and food to needy residents and some organized spontaneous get-togethers, including corn hole in the street, which helped neighbors alleviate cabin fever.

    East Baltimore came together to face Jonas head on. Communal shoveling brigades worked together to clean up sidewalks and clean off cars. Residents were allowed to park their cars in many of the covered parking garages over the weekend for free since no-parking snow-emergency routes exacerbated the citys already difficult parking situation.

    Travel conditions remained treacherous through the following week as even tow trucks had difficulties clearing side streets as they worked 12-hour shifts.

    While we want to get to as many neighborhood streets as we can, as quickly as we can, we know it is going to take time. This is a complicated snow-removal effort, said Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake after the storm.

    Getting back to business as usual is going to take a considerable amount of time, said Governor Larry Hogan.

    Both Hogan and Rawlings-Blake were correct, as it took over for a week for the streets and traffic to return to normal.

    Still, the Baltimore community came together to help each other during this trying time.

    Instead of dividing over neighborhood issues, we divided over terrain for several epic snowball fights. Instead of pointing out people walking down our sidewalks for caution, we pointed out people making their way down our streets digging cars out and clearing sidewalks/porches. How very refreshing if I do say so myself, said Canton resident, Brendan Bodensteiner.

    Now, the only remnants of Jonas are 6-foot tall snow piles that line the sidewalks and parking spaces. However, there is a silver lining. This weekend were expecting so see temperatures in the 60s, so be prepared to see the remaining snow melt away into wimpy puddles as you finally say Sayonara to Snowzilla.

    No snow days for the GuideYou might have noticed that there wasnt an issue of the Baltimore Guide the week of January 27, 2016.

    As much as we wouldve loved to have relaxed in our pajamas, sipping hot cocoa, we didnt. Our staff was hard at work producing a publication that, thanks to Snowzilla, never went to press.

    Due to our concerns for the safety of our distributors, we postponed last weeks issue.

    So, this week youre getting a double issue. In addition to this weeks news, were including last weeks stories so that you can catch up on any news you mightve missed while you were out shoveling sidewalks, alleys and parking pads.

    We thank you for your patience and hope you will enjoy this weeks extended issue, complete with a brand new shiny redesign!

    The aftermath of Snowzillas record-breaking snowfallOn the weekend of January 23, Baltimore felt Jonas wrath. Winter Storm Jonas, also known as Snowzilla or

    SnowMyGod, blasted through the city, leaving behind a record-breaking snowfall. Final numbers report over 24 of snow falling in the Baltimore area over the course of three days, a shocking number that is one of the highest records in the states history. Wind speeds of over 50 mph and cases of the epic sounding thundersnow were also reported. According to meteorologists, over 85 million people in 14 states were and still currently are being affected by the chilly weather.

    Unless you had conveniently refused to look out the window or turn on the TV, you would know how the storm brought the city to an absolute standstill for days. On Saturday, January 23, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake even initiated Phase III of the Citys Snow Emergency Plan, meaning that only authorized emergency vehicles were allowed on the road.

    The St. Francis Neighborhood Center is a non-profit organization in the Reservoir Hill neighborhood that aims to eliminate inter-generational poverty by providing resources, opportunities, and educational programming to those at-risk.

    Founded in 1969 as a church outreach center, the St. Francis Center promotes self-empowerment through mentorship, community development, and charitable acts.

    Christi Green, a Canton resident, is the executive director of the neighborhood center. She explained that the center, located at 2405 Linden Ave. in an old brownstone, acts as a safe space for those of all ages who live in the surrounding area where over 47% of children live below the poverty line.

    It is a very high poverty and high-need area, but still, its a great and beautiful neighborhood with great people, she said.

    Last week, the students of St. Francis showed their generosity through a clothing drive at Langermanns restaurant at 2400 Boston St.

    They reached out to the Baltimore community to help gather outerwear, blankets, coats, and hygiene essentials for the citys homeless before this weekends snowfall.

    Its an interesting project because 35% of the children in our program have been or are currently homeless. It is a project about them giving back and helping other people. Someday, when they are eventually the president of the United States, theyll remember feeding and helping the homeless even when they were having a tough time, said Green.

    Green also said she was shocked by the number of donations they received. She said they filled up five large trucks to the brim with winter supplies.

    On January 30, the children loaded up a bus and delivered the donations and over 200 homemade lunches to the neighborhoods homeless population.

    The center also received 10% of all the money raised at Langermanns during the drop-off day.

    The response was so positive. We had a great turnout.

    Some of the programs the St. Francis Neighborhood Center offers are after-school curriculum with academic tutoring, arts education, and opportunities to earn service learning hours. The students pick one cause

    they are interested in, such a recycling or homelessness (as this years class chose), and then they learn something new about it each week through a specialized program.

    For adults, St. Francis has its own computer lab and a variety of job training programs. They even have a community library and yoga sessions.

    St. Francis works with many local institutions like the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts, and Big Brothers Big Sisters to provide educational lessons, presentations, and even field trips.

    They can serve approximately 40 children a year. Since its inception in the 60s, St. Francis has served 35,995 residents. Still, they dont have the resources to provide for everyone in need, which is why community support and volunteers are so vital to the centers success.

    Theres a wait list and then some, said Green about the growing need for their programming,

    She said the center acts as a voice for the underprivileged communities that often may feel neglected or forgotten. According to Green, the Baltimore Uprising and unrest helped put some focus on this forgotten community.

    Last years riots and unrest put some light on the situation over there. I think more people realized theres a real struggle and a sense of frustration and the feeling that nobodys listening or even really cares, said Green. She mentioned that the center is just blocks from the CVS Pharmacy that was burnt down during the riots.

    She also tells a story about when the centers refrigerator broke this summer. A local Home Deport donated a brand-new one to them, an act of generosity which astounded the children.

    Theyre always so shocked when somebody wants to invest in them. They feel this level of frustration and when someone believes in them and provides the help they need, it changes everything. Theyre so used to hearing no, we cant afford that so when someone actually does it, theyre so surprised and grateful.

    Green said that the center is working on increasing this safe space with a $5 million dollar large scale renovation. They hope to break ground in 2017 on a project that would add over 12,000 square feet of space to the center.

    It will absolutely change the neighborhood,

    Cantonites help troubled neighborhood help others with clothing drive, after-school programs

    she said, saying that the process has been a collaborative effort between all those in the neighborhood who have built a sense of trust in the center over the past few decades.

    The center is always looking for passionate volunteers, monetary donations, and resources for their programs.

    In youre still interested in donating supplies, e-mail [email protected].

    by GIANNA DECARLO [email protected]

    Tessa Kaczaniuk, of Canton:What advice would you give new brides who are currently planning their weddings?- Start planning right away and dont push anything off till the end. - Focus on the big picture and not too much on minor details.- Get organized and make a wedding day timeline and stick to it so you arent rushing around but instead enjoying every moment of the most important day of your life.

    Where was your wedding?The Grand Lodge in Hunt Valley. (304 International Circle, Cockeysville, 410-527-0600)

    Who was your florist?Heavenly Flowers (www.heavenlyflowers.net.)

    Who catered?Rouge Fine Dining. They were outstanding! The food was fantastic and they were great to work with. I am Ukrainian and my husband is Russian and we really wanted to introduce some ethnic food at our wedding. Rouge worked with us to come up with an excellent menu which replicated some traditional family recipes perfectly for our guests. We are also foodies so this was a very important part of our wedding which had to be perfect. (rougecatering.com)

    Who was your photographer?Faith Desired. Shantell and her husband are great to work with. They were very friendly and easy going. (www.faithdesired.com)

    What kind of music did you have?We decided to go with a live band. We wanted traditional Ukrainian and Russian style folk music so we decided to go with a Ukrainian American band called Hrim (www.facebook.com/hrimband).

    Where did you get your dress?I got my dress from Betsy Robinsons Bridal Salon. My dress consultant was Ashley Gray and she was great! She really helped me get that look I was going for. And Betsy Robinson went out of her way to special order a designer gown that they did not carry. The gorgeous veil I selected was a last minute item that I tried and fell in love with. Betsy was able to order it and have it in time for the wedding. (www.robinsonsbridal.com)

    What was the best part of your wedding?Its hard to choose just one thing. But perhaps getting to marry the love of my life! But after that,

    Id say the food for one was a highlight for me as well as my band. I never had to direct my band, they kept me moving on my schedule and my guests moving on the dance floor.

    What was the hardest part to plan?The invitations, because we decided to make them ourselves. I really wanted them to be unique with a touch of my Ukrainian heritage. The guest list and seating chart were also very complicated and took lots of time.

    Any other tips?-Dont forget to reapply your lipstick! Have fun while you plan because it will fly by.

    Any other personal details/stories that set your wedding apart?Planning the big day can be very stressful, Im not going to lie. However, the bond I created with my mother during the process was wonderful! I will cherish those memories forever. Try to enjoy the entire process from beginning to the end.

    Are You Wedding-Ready?We asked some local brides to share their wedding stories and their planning tips and tricks. From the flowers, to the decorations, to the cake, you want to get everything perfect so let this go-to bride guide help you plan the most romantic day of your life.

    Liz Koehneke, of Canton:Where was your wedding?Chicago, IL at the Hyatt Oakbrook Lodge

    Why did you choose this venue?We wanted to get married in the city we met. This was a beautiful room overlooking woods and it was perfect!

    What kind of music did you have? We had a band, I highly suggest this! We did go a little over budget but at the end of our wedding everyone was still on the dance floor and it made the night that much more special.

    Where did you get your dress? Betsy Robinsons. I would definitely recommend them! I had many other appointments but cancelled them after trying on my third dress at Betsys and knowing it was the one! (www.robinsonsbridal.com)

    How did you know that dress was The One? I cant even describe the feeling that I felt when my dress was on. I immediately started crying. I felt so beautiful and could see myself getting married in the dress. That was it!

    What was the best part of your wedding? The best part was when my groom and I took a moment to ourselves at the reception. You stand back, and take everything in! You realize all of those people are there for you and the fact that you just got married! The night goes way too fast so just make sure to take mental snap shots.

    What was the hardest part to plan? It was definitely hard to plan from another state! Overall I think picking a band without being able to hear them live. I would ask if you could go visit your band options while they are playing at another event so you can see how they are and how the crowd reacts to them.

    Any other tips?Have little touches that are special to you. We had a Signature Cocktail which was named after our dog, and made after Baltimores Grapefruit Crush. I made a sign, put it in a frame at the bar and it was perfect! Small details make a big difference, and it didnt break the bank!

    Another tip is to make sure you are appreciative towards those who mean the most to you! My groom and I wrote letters to our bridal party, parents, grandparents, and to everyone at our rehearsal dinner. This was definitely a time commitment but the people who received these heartfelt letters were so thankful! These can also be done months in advance when you have a little extra time.

    Tell me about the wedding items you make! How can other brides purchase them?

    I make cards and signs for weddings, bachelorette parties, showers (the list goes on)! I loved having a little piece of my work in my own wedding, but I have done this for other weddings too. Examples are cards to bridesmaids or the groom and signs for a signature cocktail, guestbook and so much more!

    When it comes to winter weather, only one thing is for certain: it takes a

    toll on your wallet. Below are a few quick & easy energy saving tips to

    help you shave hundreds of dollars off your energy bill annually.

    1. Switch to LEDs. LED light bulbs use up to 75% less energy and

    last up to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs.

    2. Change your furnace filters. Replacing your air filters every 1-3

    months reduces the strain on your furnace and keeps the air in your

    house clean. Make sure to service your unit at least once every year.

    3. Go programmable. Program your thermostat and essential lighting

    to match your schedule so theyre most active while youre at home.

    4. Insulate your home. Insulating your windows and doors using

    weather stripping, spray foam insulation, or window insulation kits is a

    quick and easy way to seal out drafts using only a few basic tools.

    5. Use water saving adapters. Replace your showerhead with a water

    saving model (starting at $29.99) to cut your water & energy consump-

    tion in half. Faucet aerators ($4.99) can save up to 30% more water and

    are easy to install, while eco-flush toilet conversion kits ($21.99) re-

    quire some basic plumbing knowledge.

    Not sure how to start your DIY project, or simply need advice? The

    knowledgeable associates at your local Ace Hardware can help! Visit

    charmcityacehardware.com to find a location in your neighborhood.
