The Walthersonian June 2016

President’s Letter

It feels like we moved right into Summer as I write this hopefully we’llbe having some milder temperatures as you’re reading this. We had a

fantastic spring cookout in May. A huge thanks to Arts & Ideas Sudbury

School for the use of their space and to BiRite, Harvest Fare, Hamilton

Quik Mart, Giant, Safeway, & Sam's Club for generous donations

allowing us to put on this event. I hope everyone had a great time.

We’re looking forward to more events like this in the future.

In business news, at our last community meeting WIA voted to join our

neighbors in Glenham-Belhar, Hamilton Hills, Harbel, Hamilton Business

Association, and Hamilton-Lauraville Mainstreets in opposing Council

bill 16-0667 for a conditional use of a banquet hall at 5501 Harford

Road, the former Blockbuster building.

The Tuesday Farmer’s Market starts up again this month down at the

Market Lot at 4500 Harford Road. As you may be aware, Hamilton-Lauraville Mainstreet is hard at work trying to develop that lot into a

commercial kitchen. The State of Maryland is expected to match up to

$250,000 toward improvements to that lot. I understand HLMS has

raised about $50,000 so far. If you are able to support this project,

please go to their website at bmoremainstreet.com and click the donate

button to support.

In other news, the project at Harford & Southern is moving forward. The owners of Maggie’s Farm are working to

raise capital towards their new location in Waltherson at 4803 Harford Road. You can help them out through this

link: https://www.gofundme.com/2mzq5mm4

Sadly, the Hamilton memorial clock was destroyed last month in a car crash. The clock was erected in the memory

of Dr. Russo, a popular family physician who was murdered in February of 1981. The Hamilton Business Association

is working with the driver’s insurance to ensure the memorial is replaced.

There are a lot of cool events coming to

Walther Gardens over Summer; you can see

the flyer for those later in the newsletter.

Waltherson will again have a table at the

Hamilton Street Festival on Saturday, July 30th.

Our next community meeting will be August

9th at 7:30 at Harbel and finally we’re looking

to lend our support the back-to-school block

party on Edgar Terrace on Saturday, August

20th

that has been put on annually byWaltherson resident Ruthie Samuels for the

past four years.

Happy June, Waltherson!

Kind Regards,

Robert J. Walshe, WIA president

NECOP – Northeast Citizens on Patrol

In Northeast Baltimore we have a district wide Citizens on Patrol program called NECOP. The

reasoning behind the COP program is that regular neighborhood patrols can make criminals feel

uncomfortable and drive them out of our neighborhood. Communities with regular NECOPpatrols, such as the North Harford neighborhood, also see significantly less crime than

communities with inactive patrols.

Participants meet at the Northeast Police station at 1900 Argonne Drive near Morgan State and

an officer will give you a direct number to keep them in contact with the Police. You would then

proceed to patrol the neighborhood in your car. Patrols normally go out each Thursday and

Friday from about 7:30 - 10:30. For anyone interested in the Citizens on Patrol program, please

contact Rob at [email protected]
