A lot of community arts programs give urban youth the opportunity to make art, but not many give young people the chance to be co-leaders in the art-making process.

Baltimore United Viewfinders, a program of the Maryland Institute College of Art’s community arts department, is different.

Viewfinders was founded in 2011, not long after MICA Place, a multi-purpose academic-residential space, opened on N. Collington Ave., says Viewfinders co-found-er Anne Kotleba, a digital artist and Viewfinders’ lead facilitator.

Kids in Viewfinders are ages 13-17 and live in Middle East, a neighborhood north of Butcher’s Hill and Washington Hill, near Johns Hopkins Hospital.

From its inception, Viewfinders’ goal was to help kids in East Baltimore tell the story of their neighborhood with photogra-phy.

“At the same time, the kids were shaping the Viewfinders program. They made it what they needed it to be,” says Maggie McAllister, Viewfinders co-facilitator.

An alt country tribute to the men and women who spent time in-country

Local musician Mike Beresh, master-mind and frontman for Volumes I and II of Letters to Baltimore From the War, has initi-ated a work that bridges the experiences of World War II to those of the more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Volume I draws on letters from Beresh’s great uncles, Walter and Henry, both of whom shipped out from Highlandtown to Europe and lost their lives in battle in the mid-1940s. For Volume II, Beresh and gui-

tarist/singer/harmonica player Adam Miller of Lawnchair worked with the Veteran Artist Program at 225 S. Robinson St., and sat down with more recent veterans, and in one case, a Gold Star Mother.

“World War II is almost at this mytho-logical point, and Volume II is now, and somehow a bit more tangible and real,” said Miller. “The emotion is a bit more raw.”

On Oct. 20, Beresh and Miller—with bandmates Todd Boyle, Chris Pumphrey, Bob Brooks, and Greg Pardew—will attempt to connect the catalogued past with the cha-otic present, when they play both volumes of Letters to Baltimore From the War together for the first time at the Windup Space, 12 W. North Ave. Tickets are available at www.brownpapertickets.com.

“We did a concert for Volume I, and we did one for Volume II,” said Beresh. “Now we’re doing one for both.”

Beresh also fronts the Country Devils, an alternative country group, and Volume I—with acoustic guitars, harmonicas, and other “country” instruments—largely reflects that influence. For Volume II, Beresh reached out to renowned musicians from a range of

genres in the Baltimore music scene.“I basically just picked musicians from

my favorite local bands,” said Beresh. “You don’t generally get the avant-garde jazz guys hanging out with the country guys.”

“How often do you get a pedal steel and a trumpet together?” added Miller.

Although music is second nature to these guys, they took great pains to accurately and

Several well-known Baltimore musicians will play “Letters to Baltimore From the War, Volumes I and II at the Windup Space on Oct. 20. They are, from left, Todd Boyle, Bob Brooks, Mike Beresh, Chris Pumphrey, Greg Pardew, and Adam Miller.

Patterson Park House Tour offers a slice of city life, past and present

Ginny Dobry knew that 2012 was the year.

She had been asked to be part of the Patterson Park Fall Home Tour before, but always declined.

“I usually don’t like to draw attention to myself,” says Dobry.

But this year was different. 2012 marks her 56th year in her N. Kenwood Ave. home, which she bought with her late husband, Dan, in 1956.

“I took that as sort of a sign,” says Dobry. “We raised six kids in this rowhouse, and we loved living in the city. I wanted to share our experience with my neighbors, so I said, sure, put me on the tour.”

Dobry recalls that in Baltimore in 1956, larger families were more the rule than the exception.

“One family on our block had seven chil-dren,” she says. “Many others had four or five. It was a blue-collar, working-class neighborhood.”

Dobry, who is active in the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association, says she loved—and still loves— living in the city for many of same reasons people love living in

Baltimore today: convenience and proximity to public spaces.

“I walked all of my children to elemen-tary school, and of course, there was the park. Patterson Park was, and is, a great backyard. My sons were serious soccer play-ers.They lived in that park,” Dobry says.

When Dobry’s children were high-school age, her daughter attended the Institute of Notre Dame Catholic girls’ school, and her five sons attended Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. “They got good educations in the city,” she recalls.

Of course there were some inconvenienc-es raising a large family in a 12.5 -foot -wide house.

“For one thing, we had one bathroom. Well, one bathroom plus a flush [toilet] in the basement. Everyone got a quick shower in the morning, and the last one had to wipe it down afterwards,” she recalls laughing.

Despite the challenges of living in small spaces, Dobry believes that families can have a superior quality of life in the city if they are organized.

“A bigger house is not necessarily a better one,” Dobry says. “So many people move out of the city when their kids are young. You can stay and raise your kids in the city

and be happy. We are an example of that.”In fact, three of Dobry’s six children will

be on hand for the house tour to talk about what life was like growing up on Kenwood Ave. 40 + years ago.

“They’re thrilled to be here,” she says.Grant Corley, a Patterson Park Fall Home

Tour organizer, says theirs is not your stereo-typical house tour.

“It is not focused on historical homes or home-buying. It’s about getting to know your neighbors,” he says.“We’ll be sharing how we live and helping people get a feel for the zeitgeist of the neighborhood.”

For this weekend’s Patterson “Park Fall home Tour, Ginny Dobry is opening the doors of the home she has lived in since 1956. For more details on the house tour, see “Community Calendar,” page 6.

Letter: City’s infrastructure repair process is fl awedTo the Editor:Is it me being over sensitive or is there

something wrong with the City of Baltimore’s procedure for updating our water system infrastructure? The city is placing new water meters, in many cases, on 100-plus-year-old pipes.

A letter I received on September 20, 2012, from the Department of Public Works stat-ed, “Normally, no problems other than dis-coloration should arise during this process. Unfortunately, many homes are connected to the City’s water system by old, decaying galvanized pipes that have become brittle and weakened over time”

Gee, think so? The letter goes on to say, “ Should the water pipe between the water meter and your home break or spring a leak when the water is shut off and then turned back on, you will be responsible for the repairs.” When I called the city, they told me that that last bit applies even if the contrac-tors cause the damage.

What city other than ours has the gall to charge the homeowner for infrastructure repairs and upkeep that they have not main-tained with our taxes they have greedily collected for years? What companies other

than city contract recipients can cause dam-age and make the homeowner pay? This is another affront to the citizens of our fair city, and this, in my humble opinion, is a classic example of Municipal Government Robbery, potentially ripping us off for thousands of dollars after squandering our tax dollars that were supposed to maintain our great city.

Additionally, who but our city would attach a new meter to 100-plus-year-old pipes? According to the DPW, they have every intention of replacing all the pipes in the city at another date. Why not do this cor-rectly the first time while they have the resources on site?

Our city should want to save taxpayers money by not doing the same job twice. I’m sure this doesn’t have anything to do with preferential contractors milking the system, or the city letting them get away with it. So it must be the fault of the rocket scientist who thought this was a good program for updating our infrastructure. Good for whom?

I don’t know how the rest of the residents of Baltimore feel but I think that this is wrong and needs to either be changed, or the City should wait for our pipes to break or

spring a leak before replacing the meters. That, in my mind, would make sense. Unfortunately, it seems to be uncharacteris-tic for our City to use common sense these days; must have something to do with that new math I keep hearing about.

I do want to thank First District Councilman Jim Kraft’s office for trying to help. Jim’s office contacted the Department of Public Works on my behalf, only to be shot down. No surprise there! The DPW called me today to let me know that, “yes that’s the way it is,” and of course, nothing can be done to help our citizens.

Last time I checked “WE the PEOPLE” still owned the store. I don’t remember vot-ing for or even getting a say in this; another classic example of back door taxes. I would urge all good citizens of our fine city to call their elected officials, City Hall, and DPW. Ask them to use their good offices to insure all work is done correctly the first time, as well as being mindful of the people’s hard earned money and the way in which our taxes are spent.

To the Editor:

I have reached the opinion that Baltimore City government is dysfunctional and in total disarray. If any of your readership has the misfortune of living next to or in the general vicinity of a bar or nightclub in Baltimore City, I am sure they can relate to my situation. Where is it written that a citi-zen has to tolerate cigarette butts, trash, cans and bottles, vomit, and human waste due to their proximity to a bar?

Don’t expect any help from the Liquor Board. Don’t expect any help from Mayor Rawlings-Blake. My recent “Mayor’s Message” brochure informed me that 19.1% of the fiscal year 2012 budget is used for “A Cleaner and Healthier City”! That is a ridiculous amount of money being wasted.

In my particular case, getting a response took nine months and several letters and emails to the mayor, James Kraft’s office,

Senator Barbara Mikulski’s office, repeated 311 calls to Code Enforcement, and many, many calls to Mrs. Shirley Edmond, who oversees the Southeast housing District Office. Finally, someone from Mrs. Edmond’s staff called Code Enforcement, and they responded within hours.

Unfortunately, the 300 cigarette butts on the sidewalk and gutter in front of the bar at 3:18 p.m. was “not enough evidence to issue a citation or notice.” Fortunately for me, I took pictures at 10:02 a.m. that morning, and, wouldn’t you know, the same garbage was there the following day, the next week, and into the next month. If you could stop this garbage at it’s source, less time and money would actually be spent to “Save the Bay”!

Why is it that Code Enforcement seems to be able to write a parking ticket or fine you some type of garbage or recycling violation, but can’t count a hundred cigarette butts thrown on the sidewalk in front of a bar? Maybe the city could spend some time and

taxpayer money retraining them so one day they can be the Southeast District Housing District Office Czar.

It is time for some responsible party at City Hall to stop concentrating on more cigarette and bottle taxes and start to pay attention to the residue caused by their indifference to citizen concerns. Namely, the poor victims that are forced to live and work next to a bar

Scavengers wanted for Saturdayby Erik [email protected]

“On the 2200 block of Essex St., find the storm door with six Disney characters on it. Name all six characters.”

“Go to the 200 block of S. Washington St. and find a house where you can whitewash a fence.”

For those who say they can accomplish a greater number of these and similar tasks faster than their neighbors, the Fells Prospect Scavenger Hunt offers an opportunity to put their money where their mouth is.

Fortunately, there’s not too much ante involved—$10 in advance or $15 day-of—but there could be a lot of fun.

“Basically, what we’ve done is scour the neighborhood to find unique qualities throughout the neighborhood,” said Thin Thin Mencarini, explaining how the Fell’s Prospect Garden Club came up with the questions.

Thin Thin is president of the Garden Club, which conceived the scavenger hunt as a fundraiser to beautify the neighborhood.

On Saturday, Sept. 29, teams of two to four people will meet at Water For Chocolate at the intersection of Wolfe and Lombard, and pick up their list of tasks to be com-pleted and questions to be answered. The

teams do as many of these as they can, and then meet at Ale Mary’s—at Washington and Fleet—at 2 p.m. There will be first-, second-, and third-place winners.

Ale Mary’s will have $4 pint margaritas and $3 “grab bags”—a beer and taco in a bag—for scavenger hunt participants.

Thin Thin said that no team will check off every item on the list.

“It’s impossible,” she said. “The goal is not to finish—you have to strategize.”

It’s a merit-based competition. The team with the most completed items wins first prize.

Prizes were donated by local businesses, including Salt Tavern, Johnny Rad’s Pizza, the Baltimore Cakery, Pooches and Purrs, the Creative Alliance, Tochterman’s Fishing Tackle, Loading Dock Liquors, and more.

“Not only do we have gift certificates, we have items as well,” said Thin Thin.

The hunt includes obligatory stops at some of the business “to take a photo or answer a trivia question.”

“That way, we can get our sponsors some publicity as well,” said Thin Thin.

The Garden Club intends to purchase more plants and perennials for some lots on the 700 block of S. Chester St. there were adopted from the city.

BIRDS HOUSE: extra innings: Pass me the maalox

by Andy MindzAk

If I’ve learned one thing about the Baltimore Orioles this year, it’s that their games are not for the faint of heart. Unfortunately, I cannot bill the Orioles for

my heartburn medication.Baltimore has posted a 16-2 record in

extra inning games this year, and has also gone 27-9 in one-run games, and you can thank their bullpen for that.

Jim Johnson is having a monster year. There’s no other way to say it. He just notched his 48 save and has an ERA of 2.60 this year. Considering he was a candidate to be in the starting rotation this preseason, I’d say that was a good move to leave him where he is.

Luis Ayala has also chipped in out of the pen. Ayala has thrown the most innings of

the relievers, going 72.1 strong innings and posting an ERA of 2.74. Not bad for the veteran reliever.

Darren O’Day has been one of the best in relief this year. His 2.35 ERA is fantastic, as is his 7-1 record. If those numbers aren’t good enough for you, perhaps his 0.954 WHIP will change your mind.

Troy Patton has been a nice surprise for the O’s. In his 54 innings pitched, he has posted a 2.50 ERA.

Even Matt Lindstrom pitched well for the O’s before he was traded. Lindstrom posted a 2.72 ERA this year while in Baltimore, the

best of his career.Pedro Strop has done an excellent job as

the setup man this year. The hard throwing righty has gone 5-2 on the year with a 2.33 ERA. While Johnson was out earlier in the season, Strop stepped up and earned three saves to help keep the Orioles moving in the right direction. Now if he can only figure out those Yankees….

Other pitchers have helped chip in out of the bullpen as well. Brian Matusz was thought to be a starter for the O’s, but his struggles had him sent to the bullpen where he has done a great job in key matchup situ-ations.

If Baltimore wants to make the playoffs and advance, their bullpen needs to keep doing what they’ve done all year: shut down opposing teams late in games, and also give their team a chance to fight back at the end. If they continue to do that, Maalox could become my new drink of choice.

Photo by Shawn LevinAlthough he’s not starting anymore, Brian Matusz has proved himself a valuable asset in the Orioles’ bullpen.

effectively convey the still-raw emotions of the four soldiers and one Gold Star Mother referenced in Volume II. Beresh found the task extremely daunting.

“I was overwhelmed, to say the least,” he said. “I called Adam and said, ‘I need help please.’”

Through the Veteran Artist Program, Beresh had conversations with Tracy Miller, mother of Marine Corporal Nicholas Ziolkowski, who died in the Battle of Fallujah.

“How do you ask these questions?” said Beresh. “It’s kind of shaky ground to walk on.”

Two songs deal with Ziolkowski’s story—one from his mother’s perspective, and one

from his own perspective. In “Heavy Burdens,” written to take place in the midst of the Battle of Fallujah, the crux quote “This is what I wanted; this is what I chose” illustrates the 22-year-old soldiers convic-tions as told to his mother.

For a completely different narrative, Miller wrote the song “Freedom” about Jeremy Johnson, a soldier at the time of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

“He basically told,” said Miller. “The crux was his letter to his commanding offi-cer, telling him he was homosexual.”

After the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, Johnson re-enlisted.

“He’s an intense guy, a heavy character,” said Beresh of Johnson, who attended the first concert of Volume II in November of last year. “It takes conviction, basically.”

Both Beresh and Miller write songs as well as perform them, and both have a quick-and-dirty approach to songwriting.

“I try not to rewrite songs too much,” said Beresh.

“They lose the earnestness of the original thought,” added Miller.

A retired teacher who grew up in Highlandtown has been using her golden years to take advantage of the golden oppor-tunity of self publishing.

It has paid off. Her third book and first work of fiction, This Business of Children, has won the bronze medal in the general fiction category of the Readers Favorite Book Awards.

Jon Paul—who has taught elementary

school, middle school, high school, inmates, adult education, and more—drew on the experiences of her working life for the novel.

“I wrote the book to celebrate good teachers everywhere,” she said. “I’m not in this for fame or fortune.”

The main characters of “This Business of Children” are four teachers, two male and two female.

“It tells the story of how their lives turned upside down, professionally and personally, during the course of the year,” said Jon Paul.

It’s the same year that the space shuttle Challenger came apart soon after launch, killing all seven crew members. The Challenger tragedy is an important event in the story, and when a screenwriter wrote a screenplay-version of “This Business of Children,” the Challenger Center for Space Science Education had to be contacted.

Jon Paul had a phone conversation with the widow of Francis Scobee, the com-mander of the ill-fated mission.

“She read the book, loved it, read the screenplay, and gave it two thumbs up,” said Jon Paul.

“Did I ever dream any of this was going to happen when I was writing it?” she said. “Not on your life.”

Jon Paul says she retired early from teaching because teachers were forced to “teach to the test.”

“I couldn’t do that,” she said. So, Jon Paul found something else to do.“My philosophy in life is to find a need

and fill it,” she said. That’s what led her to write “What

Happens Next? A Family Guide to Nursing Home Visits.”

“The hardest thing I have had to do in life is place both my parents in longterm care on June 16, 1997,” Jon Paul said.

Through her own experience, she found that many children of adults in nursing homes don’t know where to go from that point.

“They spend a lot of time searching for a place, but they don’t understand what hap-

Highlandtown native explores lives of teacherspens afterward,” she said.

Jon Paul has also moved to fill the needs of aging women—but not with ant-wrinkle cream. Her book “Entering the Age of Elegance” helps maturing women avoid the traps of Hollywood and marketing.

“These people are laughing all the way to the bank while women’s self-esteem goes down the tubes,” she said. “I like these wrinkles; I’ve earned them.”

Jon Paul’s books are available on Amazon. Find her on the web at www.chloejonpaul.com.

One of the viewfinders first projects was naming their group and designing a logo and identity, says Kotleba.

Viewfinders has four goals: teaching youth technical skills (art, photography, digital); promoting engagement in their community; sharing their art to promote

change; and encouraging entrepreneurial-ism.

Viewfinders students meet every Wednesday afternoon during the school year and every other Saturday all day.

“They like that Viewfinders is not like school, where someone is always telling them what to do. They have a say in what they do here, and they appreciate that,” says Kotleba,

“I like that we can help decide the direc-tion of the program—we are not limited in what we can explore,” says Viewfinder Danisha Harris, who is 17 and attends Western High School.

Kotleba says that the kids use art to tell the true stories of their neighborhoods, not just the stereotypes.

“It is important to the Viewfinders to respond to negative associations about their community—like trash and drug dealers. They want Baltimore to know that there are good people live in their neighborhood too, people working for change,” says Kotleba.

Some recent Viewfinder photos depict families in Middle East walking together and sitting on their steps, enjoying urban family life.

“A lot of people think this part of East Baltimore is a bad place to raise a family. The Viewfinders want people to know that families do live here and they are doing OK,” says Maggie McAllister, Viewfinders co-facilitator.

After being in the Viewfinders program for more than a year, Viewfinders have developed a range of skills and are choosing careers they might not have considered a

few years ago.“Skill-wise, I’m most proud of the pho-

tography skills that I learned: rule of thirds, point of view, depth of field, video editing,” says Harris, who has taken courses at MICA and is hoping to attend MICA full-time after graduation.

Harris is not sure what direction she wants to take, but is considering majoring in film.

“Film with a concentration in animation. Maybe I’ll work for Pixar,” she says.

It is Viewfinders that Harris credits with helping her overcome her anxiety about tak-ing pictures of people on the street.

“In the beginning it was nerve-wracking asking people to pose for pictures. But I learned from Miss Anne and other Viewfinders who are less shy,” Harris says.

Harris got a chance to show off her new skills during an exhibit last spring.

“Some of my favorite photos are from the exhibition we did at Johns Hopkins Hospital in April. While I consider myself more of a landscape photographer, I really pushed myself to try new things, to take more pic-tures of people,” says Harris.

“It was new for me, but I had a lot of por-traits up there. You have to know how to come at people. You have to be social if you’re going to be a photographer, after all.”

You can learn more about Viewfinders and view their photos and multi-media proj-ects on Facebook. They’ll also be selling their work on occasional Sundays at the Baltimore Farmers Market under the JFX. Check their Facebook page, facebook.com/BaltimoreViewfinders, for dates.

Impressions of a novice house hunter

A friend of mine, Abe, who has been renting in Fell’s Point for almost two years now, has recently started looking to buy a home.

“I want to be making an investment, rather than just making payments I’ll never see again,” he said.

Abe said that he began looking for a house without really knowing what he was doing, beyond “looking at houses.” Over the last few weeks, however, he has seen dozens of houses in Fell’s Point, Upper Fell’s, Butchers Hill, Washington Hill, Patterson Park, Highlandtown, and Canton. He has agreed to share some of his lessons learned with the Baltimore Guide.

Know what you wantAbe: Knowing what you want doesn’t

mean that you have some kind of con-crete vision that you stick with no mat-ter what. It means that there are a few characteristics that you would really like to have in your home. I have two kids, so my wife and I fi gured that at least two full bathrooms would be necessary in order for everybody to get out of the house in the morning. My wife has tons of clothes and can’t live without tons of closet space, so we need at least one big closet in every bedroom. Once we knew what we wanted, to a certain degree, we could narrow our search. We told our agent to only show us houses with at least two full bathrooms and a lot of closet space.

Know what you don’t wantAbe: You can save a lot of time if you

have a good sense of what would make you unhappy living in a house. I hate driving around looking for parking, so I didn’t want to see any houses fronting main streets such as Pratt or Lombard. That eliminated a bunch of showings right there.

It’s also a good idea to trust your im-mediate sense of a place. We walked into one old house in Highlandtown, and the fl oors were a little wavy. The ceiling also sloped unevenly. The old home had been certifi ed structurally sound, and the less-than-square construction could have been taken as one of the charms of 19th-century construction, but it made us feel seasick. So instead of hemming and haw-ing, we just left, and spent the time look-ing at more likely candidates.

Be prepared to compromiseAbe: Our son goes to school close to

the water in Fell’s Point, so we initially concentrated our search over there. But we found that as you go north, prices go south. In our case, we realized a place farther north would be farther away from his school, but at the same time we can afford a place with off-street parking up there, so getting him to school and pick-ing him up is less of an issue.

Taxes credits are your friendAbe: In Baltimore City, you have to ac-

cept high property taxes as a given. Some houses, however, have “10-year historic tax credits,” or other temporary tax relief measures in place. Make sure you take taxes into account when you are calcu-lating the monthly payment you could expect for a home you would potentially purchase. Since taxes are so high, a cred-it can substantially reduce your monthly payment. We have looked at a few homes just above our specifi ed price range, be-cause those homes have tax credits that would reduce our mortgage.

Of course, you have to consider that tax credits expire, and when they do, your payments go up.

Talk to your potential neighborsAbe: Again, parking is a big concern

of mine, so I have been talking to the neighbors of homes we are consider-ing. I just knock on their door and ask, “How’s parking here after 6 p.m.? If they tell me that I’ll be driving around for half an hour, I’ll move on. If they tell me that I might end up a block or two away from my home after searching for just a few minutes, then I can live with that.
