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

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.

March 30, 2016
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.

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.

CANDIDATE FORUM: City Council C ON T I NU E D F ROM PAG E 1
Crime is a symptom of the society at large, he said, calling for
solutions to poverty and racial divisions.
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.

CROSSWORDBaltimoreGUIDE
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

herbs from your local Ace, especially tomatoes and peppersafter
