1st District City Council candidates address questions at public forum

On Thursday, March 31, the nine candidates vying for the 1st District council seat shared their platforms at a debate hosted by the Canton Community Association and the Baltimore Guide. The forum was moderated by Canton resident and investigative journalist Jayne Miller from WBAL-TV 11 Baltimore.

One question focused on public safety and how to prevent crime. Miller had one rule, the candidate could not call for more foot patrols.

Liz Copeland (R) said that first-time offenders had to be held accountable and should be required to perform community service.

Its not about putting on a band-aid, but to actually reach the people committing the crimes, she said.

Zeke Cohen (D) said crime is a result of systematic issues and a lack of opportunities. He said that more money should be allocated into finding solutions for the socioeconomic disparities that lead to a life of crime.

Scott Goldman (D) seconded the need for changes within in the system.

Vice President Biden announces $125 million donation to Johns

Hopkins for new cancer instituteby GIANNA DECARLO [email protected]

On Tuesday, March 29, Vice President Joe Biden visited Baltimore to announce a $125 million investment for Johns Hopkins Hospital to build an immunotherapy cancer center.

The BloombergKimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy will focus on breakthroughs in cancer treatments that have seen success in treating all types of cancer. The institutes ultimate goal is to find a cure for cancer.

The money will primarily go into research, recruiting additional scientists, providing additional infrastructure for engineering cellular products related to immunotherapy research, enhancing partnerships with the private sector, and investing in critical technology development. The institute hopes to bring together the knowledge of Johns Hopkins immunology, genetics, microbiology, and biomedical engineering experts.

If we can harness this moment, I believe we can make quantum leaps in curing cancer. This is personal for so many of us that are in this hall and the millions of Americans who faced that dreaded phrase, Im afraid you have cancer, said Biden.

Biden has a personal connection to this project. Beau, his son, died last year after a battle with brain cancer.

He discussed how Congress is currently reviewing a potential $1 billion investment in cancer research at the request of President Barack Obama. In January, Obama created a White House task force on cancer which has been nicknamed the moonshot project. Biden called a cancer cure a bipartisan issue and has been traveling to cancer centers across the country to spread information on the initiative.

The vice president is determined to turn that tragedy into a positive for other families and we are here to stand with him, said former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, a long-time supporter of Johns Hopkins. Like the effort to put a human on the moon, ending cancer is a dream weve all long held. Today, thanks to advances in technology it is in our reach for the very first time and if we succeed itll really be another great leap forward for mankind.

Bloomberg has donated $50 million to the cause. Sidney Kimmel, the founder of Jones Apparel Group, also donated $50 million. The remaining money was raised by other donors

and outside supporters. Having been committed to cancer research

for more than 20 years, it simply thrills me to know that the scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center see a new light at the end of the tunnel, Kimmel said

Immunotherapy, which uses the patients immune system to target cancer cells, has improved the lives and survival chances of many people fight cancers, explained Biden, and the institute will make these treatments more accessible.

We are at the forefront of an emerging and promising field of cancer research and treatment. We are grateful for these tremendous gifts, which will help us accelerate the already rapid pace of discoveries in immunotherapy, said Paul Rothman, the Dean and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Over the past year I have come to appreciate and understand the work of facilities like this in ways that I could have never imagined, said Governor Larry Hogan, a non-Hodgkins lymphoma survivor, about Bidens announcement.

At the press conference, other cancer survivors who have had their lives saved by Hopkins spoke out in support of the institute.

It is eight years that I had with my family and friends all because of you and the incredible doctors, nurses, and scientists here at Johns Hopkins, said David Gobin, a lung cancer survivor.

DISTRICT 1 BALT IMORE C IT Y COUNCIL

Candidate Pro les

As the Southeast grows economically and in population, how will you work to balance the needs and wants of developers with the needs and wants of the residents?

We have a housing crisis throughout Baltimore and in District 1. As rent continues to rise, we need to be sure that were providing reduced priced housing for our citys neediest families. As a member of City Council, I will advocate to expand affordable housing options in Baltimore and advocate that new residential development plans include the incorporation of affordable housing units.

Further, as we have seen in recent years, public investment in our neighborhoods is not sufficient to create sustainable growth without long term private investment. Therefore, I believe we also need to work with our business community to incentivize investment in our local neighborhoods. We must creatively spur growth in the city and incentivize critical neighborhood redevelopment, especially in food deserts, that will provide long term benefits to our local residents.

Every single candidate expressed concerns and proposed plans for hot button issues like transportation and

education, but what is another key issue that is important to you? Why is it important to you?

For too long, weve stood by as our young people and families move away from the city for better opportunities elsewhere. Our chief barrier to sustained economic development is an incongruence between jobs and skilled employees. We must create new solutions to train our workers, so they can compete in the global economy, right here in our city. This will help to keep good jobs here and help residents prepare for the new medical and technology employers that are moving into the city. We must do more than just improve our education system, we need creativity. We need opportunities for young people to connect to the global economy in Baltimore. On the Council, I will work to create multiple pathways to success for our students and young people. We have the resources in Baltimore to implement strong and creative internship and apprenticeship programs to provide exciting opportunities for students. As Councilman, I will work to facilitate more partnerships with local businesses to provide exciting and diversified after school opportunities for learning that help prepare Baltimore for the future.

The district is luckily a lot better off than other parts of the city in terms of crime, however, robberies and burglaries remain a concern. What would you do to combat this? What do you think the police can do to reduce robberies?

2015 was the deadliest year in Baltimores history. We have to do more to prevent violent crime and protect our community. I believe we need a strong focus on a real crime strategy and a strong City Council to help implement it. Due to last years tragic unrest, Baltimore has access to resources and relationships at the Department of Justice that could be used to develop an effective crime prevention program for our city.

In order to proactively make our city safer and our communities stronger, I believe we need to focus on cracking down on domestic

DISTRICT 1 BALT IMORE C IT Y COUNCIL

Candidate Pro les Candidate Pro les

As the Southeast grows economically and in population, how will you work to balance the needs and wants of developers with the needs and wants of the residents?

I am thrilled to see the growth in Southeast Baltimore. Over the last few decades Baltimore has lost one third of our citizens. Without expanding our tax base we will never get the schools and city services that we want and deserve. However, I believe that our growth needs to be smart and strategic. Right now, our public transit system is inadequate, and many of our schools in Southeast Baltimore are over capacity. The result is congestion and overcrowding.

I am also concerned about some of the tax breaks weve given to spur development along the waterfront. Citizens in Southeast Baltimore are struggling to pay their property taxes, and yet a small group of developers receive enormous tax breaks. Many of our citizens feel shut out from the process.

As City Councilman for the First District I will bring citizens and developers to the table together. I will expect Project Labor Agreements and Community Benefits to ensure that when we build, we put our own citizens to work and create affordable housing. I will oppose any development that is ugly or incongruent. I will oppose development without planning to accommodate public transit, traffic, biking and our schools. And I will oppose any development that is done without the genuine partnership and collaboration of our communities.

Every single candidate expressed concerns and proposed plans for hot button issues like transportation and education, but what is another key issue that is important to you? Why is it important to you?

One issue that is of deep concern to me is our citys fiscal mismanagement. I care about this issue because so many of our citizens are struggling to pay their water bills, and taxes, while our city misspends their money. I run a non-profit, and every year I am audited. If I misspend a single dollar, my organization gets

shut down. Yet we have not had a true audit of our agencies in over forty years. I believe that tax payer money is being wasted. That needs to end. If I am elected, I will demand thorough, consistent audits of all city agencies including our school system.

The district is luckily a lot better off than other parts of the city in terms of crime, however, robberies and burglaries remain a concern. What would you do to combat this? What do you think the police can do to reduce robberies?

For the last year, I have been calling for our officers to get out of their cars, and walk the beat. I believe that community policing can make a difference. But ultimately, police alone cannot solve this problem for us. Our crime problem is really a lack of jobs problem. Its a trauma problem. And its a concentrated poverty problem. Thats why we need to invest more in apprenticeship programs. We need a partnership between our school system and our health department to address the mental health crisis facing our children. And we need to make sure that when our city gives out contracts, or development projects, we are putting our own citizens to work.

We also need to understand that the Council lines are arbitrary. We live in a city. There are no borders. Therefore, we need to care about our neighbors in other districts. If we continue to have concentrated poverty north of Fayette St., crime will bleed into the First District. Thats why we need to expand economic opportunities throughout the entire city. I will work with my colleagues throughout Baltimore to ensure that all of our citizens have access to jobs and efficient transit.

What sets you apart from the other candidates?

What sets me apart is that I am an educator, entrepreneur and innovator. I have a Masters Degree in Public Policy from Johns Hopkins and I am the only candidate that started a successful business.

Unlike other candidates that talk about fixing our schools, I was an award winning

abusers, preventing our youth from being exposed to violence at home, and enhance the punishments for gun traffickers. We also must change our broken windows mindset to policing. This includes increasing the funding for job retraining programs to help our residents compete in a rapidly changing global economy. We need to also change our police model to make it community -focused. I think Commissioner Davis is on the right track and applaud the recent efforts at creating a mediation system between officers and possible victims of abuse. However, I think there is more that needs to be done to remove officers that are consistent offenders.

What sets you apart from the other candidates?

I am running for City Council because Baltimore needs new leadership. As an immigrant from South Africa, who arrived in America with my parents, my sister, and a dream of a better future, I have a unique background and ability to connect with the many diverse, vibrant, communities that call Baltimore home. I am a Canton homeowner, a community organizer, a University of Maryland School of Law graduate, and a small business manager. I love this city and thanks to the mentors and leaders that have guided me, I am proud to be a highly active and effective member of our community.

In addition to being a lawyer at Goldman and Goldman, Ive been involved with many non profit groups and organizations to help make our community better. I serve on the board of the Baltimore Jewish Council and the Associated, and am a race day wingman with Athletes Serving Athletes, a group that works with athletes with disabilities. I also work with the Jewish Legal Services Clinic to provide free legal and intake services to those in need regardless of their religious or ethnic background. I have committed myself to serving our community and intend to significantly expand upon and enhance that service as a Councilman. I look forward to working hand in hand with you in these crucial endeavors.

Dear Neighbors,

The skyrocketing cost of water service in Baltimore is unacceptable. I have heard from too many residents whose fixed incomes cannot keep up with the constantly rising price of water.

The truth is that our water system is overpriced and dysfunctional. Infrastructure is crumbling, the Department of Public Works has mismanaged needed upgrades, and our city government is more focused on politics than getting things done.

My family and I love this city, but we all know we need change in our city government.

The City Council has to provide real oversight over the Department of Public Works to make sure we get what we pay for with our maintenance dollars. No one should be overcharged.

Billing must also be flexible for the many Baltimoreans and First District residents on fixed incomes who have always paid their bills but now find themselves squeezed by the rising costs.

I am running to be your full-time City Councilman and I need your help to get things done for our district and our city. Im asking for your vote on April 26th and if you have a problem with your water bill, please call me at 410-513-9654 or email me [email protected].

When I joined the Army, I took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States that meant putting service first to get things done for my soldiers. When I serve you on the Council, Ill do the same, and Ill do everything I can to make sure the costs of water do not push people out of our city.

Sincerely,

Scott Goldman

Maryland CASA Association provides a brighter future to abused and neglected children

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month.One of the organizations combating this

violence against children is the Maryland CASA Association, a non-profit that trains volunteers to act as a childs advocate while they are a part of the court system. CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. These advocates are assigned to abused or neglected children that are under the protection of the court to monitor their progress and ensure that they get the best possible life.

The CASA is the voice of the often voiceless child. They work to facilitate conversations between all the parties involved in the childs case.

Kim Sauer is one of CASAs new volunteers. She is a Patterson Park resident who has a history of public service.

Giving back to my community is incredibly important to me. Making sure the best interests of these children are met is the ultimate goal, so if I can assist even one of them in achieving a happy permanency, it will all be worth it, said Sauer.

In order to get the full story, the CASA conducts interviews with everyone: the childs parents, their attorneys, the social workers. They then appear in court alongside the child and submit a written recommendation to the judge about where the child should be placed. Sauer describes this as putting together all the pieces of a puzzle.

Nothing is fast in the legal system, said Sauer who added that the children offer suffer due to the long drawn-out processes. The

advocates goal is to remain a consistent and reliable adult figure that can minimize the stress of such an experience. They stay with the child until they are in a permanent home.

Its really about building a positive relationship, youre not just an authority figure?, youre a friend and you can help ease of strain of whats happening, she said.

Sauer currently works as the Legislative & Legal Coordinator for the Baltimore Child Abuse Center. Prior to her 3 years with the organization, she worked as a Research Associate for the University of Maryland School of Medicine/Veterans Affairs Medical Center and as an HIV/AIDS Counselor & Research Assistant for Johns Hopkins University, SOM Emergency Department. She has hosted several education seminars on sexual health and education while volunteering with patients affected by HIV and AIDS.

In the past, she has also dealt with the more behind-the-scenes and legislative aspects of child abuse prevention. The opportunity to be a CASA is giving her the chance to work one-on-one with the population for which she has been advocating.

You talk to some of these kids and they have such a positive outlook on a devastating situation, it makes you want to work harder and be a better person.

Before moving to Patterson Park, she lived in Highlandtown and had witnessed the devastation that a child can experience when taken out of their homes. She saw how children were forced to grow up too quickly and bear responsibilities and burdens that prevented

them from having a normal childhood. The CASA is supposed to change that. Many often take their kids out to ball games or to a playground, just to give them a taste of the childhood they deserve.

When you start working with children in foster care, you really have to take an unbiased view. It may not be your lifestyle or what you think is right, but when you take it from the positive point of view it helps really to guide your decisions in determining what is most beneficial for the child because thats the most important and crucial part.

There are currently 15 programs under the CASA that serves 21 of the 24 jurisdictions in Maryland.

According to the KIDS Count Data Center, there were 1,916 children in out-of-home place-ments in Baltimore City as of December 2015. Less than 10% of whom have representation from a CASA volunteer, said Patrick Seidl, the Development & Communications Associate at Maryland CASA.

On Saturday, April 9, the CASA crew will go to Annapolis for the 10th Annual Maryland CASA Conference: A Brighter Future for Marylands Children & Youth. The conference will bring together volunteers, advocates, childrens attorneys, and other child welfare professionals to discuss child abuse prevention and how to ensure the best possible outcomes for the child.

Maryland CASA is almost entirely volunteer-based. Theyre always looking for volunteers

that are willing to commit to at least a year of service. There arent any requirements and the organization will provide any training. Sauer stressed that they are in need of Spanish-speaking volunteers.

Ed Marcinko (D) added that the city needs to invest in recreation centers and job training for vulnerable youth. He said that police officers leave the city to work in Baltimore County due to a lack of pay parity.

Sean Flanagan (D) explained that only 20% of the police force lives in the city and that tax credits and incentives should be established to keep officers in Baltimore.

Mark Edelson (D) seconded the need to give tax incentives and affordable housing options to police officers. Keeping them in the city would help reduce crime in our neighborhoods, he said.

We as community members have to work in conjunction with our police officers, said Jennifer Dudley (R). She said that citizens should report suspicious activities to officers who can monitor situations before they get out of hand.

Mark Parker (D) said that the status quo of overworked overtime officers is not sustainable. He said more money needs to be

allocated into preventing crime before it happens by providing more opportunities for residents.

Matt McDaniel (R) brought up in the Mayors 2017 budget, which was released last week, had cut some of the policing funds and officer positions.

Thats reflective of a city government that doesnt really care about our police, he said.

Following McDaniels remarks, Miller asked the candidates if they would be willing to remove money from the citys police budget in order to fund other programs.

Flanagan, Dudley, and Copeland all said they would not cut the public safety budget.

Cohen said he would remove money from the police and put it into schools.

We can either invest in our young people now or pay for their pain later, he said.

Goldman said that there is money being wasted in the police department that can be cut. He said he would examine a list of all the expenses to determine where costs can be reduced.

McDaniel agreed, saying that the council should take a fine tooth comb approach to the budget.

Edelson said that more frequent audits need to be done to the police department. Marcinko

said that some of the overtime cost paid to officers can be cut.

Parker said that the budget needs to reflect the citys priorities and focus more on community services.

Public safety has taken up an increasing portion of the budget. Moving forward, that percentage has to be leveled off, he explained.

Miller then asked who believed that the Charm City Circulator should remain a free service. Dudley, McDaniel, Goldman, and Flanagan raised their hands. The other five candidates said that it should be a paid service.

In their final statement, the candidates were asked what set them apart and made them the best choice for the position.

I dont see this as a position of politics, I see this as public service, said Dudley, who added that she was hard-working and wanted to restore the charm to Charm City.

Public service isnt a switch you turn on when you decide to run for office, public service is a lifelong commitment, said Parker, who cited his work in the community over the years.

McDaniel said that, as a Republican, he will look at the city with a different perspective and open mind. He said hes the only one who can see that Baltimore is facing impending

financial problems.Marcinko said that he understands the

concerns of the residents and has been involved in neighborhood issues for decades.

I didnt just start doing this because Im running as your councilperson, he said.

Copeland said that her history of working in public policy will allow her to be a manager who can address issues that she said the city has ignored under 73 years of Democratic control.

Cohen said that he is the only candidate to have opened a business in the district and that he has used his campaign to reach out to and help the community.

Flanagan cited his time as the president of the Canton Community Association and how he got things done, such as keeping Walts Inn and Nacho Mamas in the neighborhood.

Goldman said that he understood the citys government and can use his knowledge to get things done and represent the needs and wants of the residents.

Edelson said that he was the only candidate that provided realistic and viable solutions during the debate. He said his resilience will allow him to enact meaningful change in Baltimore.

happened next just blew my mind.With the Orioles advancing to the ALDS to

play the Yankees, Gonzalez took the mound in game three with the series knotted at one win apiece. Gonzalez did everything in his power to give the Orioles a victory, but thanks to another Jim Johnson meltdown, the Yankees wound up winning in 12 innings.

Gonzalez went on the mound at Yankee Stadium and gave a performance worthy of a standing ovation from both sets of fans. Gonzalez pitched seven glorious innings, allowing only one run and striking out eight Yankee batters. He left as the winning pitcher of record but left with a no-decision. Gonzalez went on to pitch very well in 2013 and 2014, going 11-8 with a 3.78 ERA in 2013 and 10-9 with a 3.23 ERA in 2014.

2015 was not so kind to Gonzalez as he battled injuries to post a 9-12 record with a 4.91 ERA, which unfortunately carried over into this spring as he sported a 9.78 ERA while his velocity seemed to dip below 90 MPH on his fastball.

Unfortunately this is the end of the road for Gonzalez in Baltimore, at least wearing the orange and black. While it would be nice to see him try to get completely healthy and get his velocity back up in the minors, the Orioles are not willing to pay someone $5 million with the hopes they can get their velocity back and get back to their pre-2015 form. I definitely see the business side of this, and from the Baltimore front office standpoint, it totally makes sense, and while I agree with the decision, a little something inside of me died a little when I read the news that he was released.

The update is that now Gonzalez will get his shot with the Chicago White Sox in the hopes that he can regain his velocity and eventually join the Sox to help out their rotation. I hope that is the case as Gonzalez seems to be a legitimately good guy who epitomized the Orioles teams during their playoff runs of 2012 and 2014, someone who not too many people knew much about but somehow got the job done. I hope now he can do the same for the White Sox.

The Baltimore Orioles begin their 2016 season this week, and while that is exciting news as I cannot stand the winter since it deprives us of baseball, there was some not so happy news coming out of the Os spring training with the Os releasing pitcher Miguel Gonzalez.

Initially when the Orioles brought in Miguel Gonzalez, I had a mild panic attack as I initially got confused with Mike Gonzalez, who the Os brought in to close games out in 2009 and 2010 but instead he just raised my blood pressure on a daily basis. Luckily, this was not him.

Miguel Gonzalez traveled an interesting route to get to Baltimore. Gonzalez was signed by the then Anaheim Angels in 2004 as an amateur free agent before being drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 2008 from the Angels in the Rule 5 Draft. He was then released by the Red Sox in 2011 before signing with the Orioles as a free agent in March of 2012.

The Mexican-born Gonzalez started off the 2012 season in AAA Norfolk where he proceeded to go 3-2 with a 1.61 ERA over 14 games including six starts. Gonzalez made his debut on May 29th out of the bullpen and made two other relief appearances before getting his first start against none other than the first team to draft him, the Los Angeles Angels. Gonzalez then pitched a gem of a game, going seven strong innings while allowing only three hits and one earned run as he picked up the win.

While that game did impress me, what would follow is what cemented his ability in my mind. As the Orioles were battling with the New York Yankees for a playoff spot that season, the Orioles had a late August series against the Yankees in New York. During the game on August 31st with the Orioles only two games behind the Yanks, Gonzalez pitched seven sterling shutout innings, allowing only four hits and striking out nine. If I wasnt sold yet on Gonzalez, I was that night.

Gonzalez was also huge down the stretch for the Orioles that September, winning his last three starts during the regular season, allowing a combined four earned runs over 19 2/3 innings pitched. If that wasnt enough, what

Most vegetable crops need at least 8 inches of soil coverage to allow their roots to grow, and while some vegetables are not suitable for container gardens (like creeping plants and melons), there are plenty that will thrive in a contained space. Tomatoes make great container plants, as they love to grow tall and do best when planted independent of other crowding crops.
