Lewis Memorial Lecture November 1st, 2012:: 6:00pm Morgan State University Student Center Theater FREE and Open to the Public Alexander Garvin, author of “Public Parks: The Key to Livable Communities,” explains the rationales for the existence of public parks, the forms they take, their value, ways to pay for and govern them, and the ingredients that make successful parks, providing the first single definitive source of wisdom about them. Alexander Garvin, strategist of the public realm, is currently president and CEO of AGA Public Realm Strategists, a planning and design firm in New York City. He is adjunct professor of urban planning and management at Yale University, where he has taught a wide range of courses for forty-two years, including Introduction to the Study of the City, which has remained one of the most popular courses in Yale College. November 1st, 2012 :: 6:00pm – 7:00pm Book signing to follow. Morgan State University Student Center Theater 1700 East Cold Spring Lane, 21251 Cost: FREE 1 AIA/CES credit FREE and Open to the Public The Robert E. Lewis Memorial Lecture is sponsored by the Baltimore Architecture Foundation through a gift from the family of architect Robert E. Lewis. Robert E. Lewis (1904-1996) was a founder and principal for the architectural firm of Wrenn, Lewis, and Jencks.Active in Baltimore from 1927 until 1978. Wrenn, Lewis and Jencks designed many significant buildings in Baltimore and throughout Maryland.Beginning as residential architects in Roland Park, Guilford, and Homewood, their successful design for the Faculty Club (now the Hopkins Club) at JHU led them to expand their practice to include commercial buildings as well. Their long standing relationship with Johns Hopkins, both the University and the Hospital gave them a steady stream of commissions, often updating buildings to reflect the Hopkins’ changing needs. Their work also included several jobs for the Baltimore Museum of Art as well as the Maryland State House Office Building in Annapolis. They did not work in a particular style, rather their buildings tended to reference their neighborhoods always with a nod toward Classical detailing.Most of the firms records are now housed at the State Archives in Annapolis. Mr. Lewis’s personal library and many of the firms renderings were given to the Baltimore Architecture Foundation by the Lewis family. The BAF would like to thank the Lewis family for their support and generosity in endowing the Robert E. Lewis Memorial Lecture.

You are receiving this email as a contact for a neighborhood/residents association in Baltimore. The Maryland Science Center and the Baltimore Ecosystem Study are embarking on a new citizen science project that we hope you will publicize to your constituents. The project is seeking interested individuals and groups to help us study climate change in the Baltimore area through temperature measurements this October. I have formatted this for a newsletter; however, please feel free to modify as appropriate for your purposes. We appreciate your help in spreading the word. Please let me know if you have questions. Here's the article text: Help Discover Climate Changes in Baltimore The Maryland Science Center, in conjunction with the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, is embarking on a new project involving everyday citizens studying indicators of climate change in Baltimore. With guidance from professional researchers, these projects will allow you to contribute to vital areas of ongoing study that affect us locally and globally that scientists can't obtain on their own. Communicating Climate Change (C3) participants will observe and record local phenomena that are indicative of climate change. We are currently signing up volunteers to participate in temperature blast events - timed temperature measurements within and around the Baltimore metro area to reveal temperature variations between cities and suburbs. Our first event will be Friday evening, October 2, from approximately 6:45pm to 8:00pm. We are looking for individuals or groups to take measurements at their home, school, place of worship, etc., at that time. In the spring and summer, citizen scientists can also monitor plant life cycle events, such as the first leaf or first flower to see how climate change affects the timing of these budbursts and other phases. We'll be studying flowering dogwood and forsythia in spring, and black-eyed susans in the summer. Any group or individual with interest in environmental issues or in becoming involved in scientific research is encouraged to participate.

Re: [Chat] [I-NEIGHBORS] Baltimore County Composting Bin Sale
The link does work - you just need to wrap it around. Here is the text: Compost Bin Sale For the first time ever, Baltimore County will host a two-day truckload compost bin sale on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19, from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. The Saturday sale will be held on the parking lot of IKEA Baltimore in White Marsh, 8352 Honeygo Boulevard (across from White Marsh Town Center). The Sunday sale will be held on the parking lot of Franklin High School in Reisterstown, 12000 Reisterstown Road. Both sales are rain or shine. Cost Compost bins, valued at $100, will be available for the low price of $35 including tax. There is no limit on the amount of bins you may purchase at this event and bins will be sold on a first come, first served basis while supplies last. Both cash and checks are accepted (no credit or debit cards) and you do not need to be a Baltimore County resident to purchase a bin. The bins come in two pieces and can fit in almost any vehicle. When assembled, the bins are 33 inches in diameter and 33 inches tall. About Composting Composting is nature's recycling program. Organic material (grass, leaves, bush trimmings, etc.) decompose into a rich soil enhancing material called humus. This material can be used to enrich the soil throughout your yard, reducing the need for fertilizer. Composting your yard materials is much better for you and the environment than bagging them and placing them out for a collector to haul them away. Composting really helps to reduce waste and the problems associated with collecting and processing yard materials. The average yard can produce more than 600 pounds of yard materials per year. Though it is not necessary to use a commercial bin to compost, many people prefer the look of a bin compared to an open pile. Bins also provide additional benefits over open piles such as moisture retention and higher temperature.

No, I haven't subscribed you to a mailing list. This email is going to 6 people who sent me email about the previous attempt at a mapping party in Baltimore in late February. I'm hosting a mapping party in the city next weekend (April 4th and 5th), and NO I will not cancel it, come hell or high water! A mapping party is a social event where you meet other people interested in maps, and we help each other improve OpenStreetMap. It's fun, and you get a sense of why the great artists would paint and overpaint until they felt satisfied that they'd captured everything they saw. I have GPS receivers to loan out to people. I'll show you how to use them to gather location information, and edit OpenStreetMap. Even if the weather is bad, we can do online mapping off aerial photos. A new feature added in the last month is faster Mapnik rendering, so that if you make edits during the afternoon of next weekend, by the time you get home, those edits will likely be rendered and visible for all to see. Very exciting! Here are the details.

I'm forwarding this info to you at the suggestion of Brad Schlegel. Please accept my apology if this is unwanted/unsolicited, I'm trying to cover as many bases as possible and I'm not familiar with how your message/discussion/chat board works. And, one of Arjay's other nieces, Elizabeth Johnson, is working on a memory book for his daughter Anne. If anyone would like to contribute thoughts etc. just forward them to me. (Thanks) Following is the message that I posted on the board with a couple revisions/deletions. Let me know if you or others have questions. M-F contact me through work E-mail as follows: wwing...@mragta.com Thank you for your time. Willow Dear Friends of Arjay/Richard Johnson, Richard Temple Johnson aka Arjay was my uncle (my mother's brother-in-law.) He was very dear to me and like a father. He would often refer to himself as Tio Ricardo (in his best latino accent.) We're all very sad and are still in shock and disbelief that he's suddenly gone from our lives (physically, as he'll always be with us in spirit.) I feel especially sorry for his daughter Anne Johnson, a young woman of only 21 years. She's doing okay but will need a lot of love and support. Uncle Rick's brother, Bill, (Dr. William R. Johnson of Columbia/Ellicott City, MD) found Arjay and this has been very hard on him. They were very close. Arjay is also survived by his parents, Mr. Mrs. William R. Johnson, Sr, of Ellicott City (they're in their 90's,) his daughter Anne and ex-wife, Rebecca Johnson, of Guilford, and my other aunt, Louise Morgan of Towson. Uncle Rick was a Mechanical Engineer with Phoenix International in Largo, Maryland. He was only 67 years old. Apparently he was very sick with what we think was the flu. He was last seen by his friend Roger on Sunday December 28th. Bill discoverd him on Wednesday December 31st. We've been told by the medical examiner that he died of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He was cremated on Friday January 2nd. I want to thank those of you who inquired about his memorial service. Initially the service was to be on Saturday, January 24th due to existing weekend travel plans that Bill had for the subsequent weekends following Uncle Rick's death. I received an E-mail from Brad Schlegel regarding the service on Saturday January 31st. The details are as follows: Historic Oakland Manor 5430 Vantage Point Rd. Columbia, MD 21044 Saturday, January 31st at 11 AM Directions to Historic Oakland From Baltimore: I-95 South to Route 175 (Columbia). Follow Route 175 West for 5.3 miles.

At 2nd stop light, turn left at Vantage Point Road, follow for 3/10 mile. Turn right at the OAKLAND sign. And, thanks to John Spurrier for the photo of Uncle Rick with his conga drum. There are so many things that I'd like to write but I don't know any of you and am not comfy with going into all of my thoughts. Suffice it to say that I loved my uncle and I'll miss him so much.

Hi W Brad, Of course you know that a historic Election Day is only five days away. You know that no matter who wins, democracy in America is better and stronger if more people vote. You also know that you can do your part to alleviate the massive rush to the polls on the big day by voting early. But not everyone knows to vote early, or even to vote at all. I've learned one important lesson when it comes to turning out people to vote. It's not attack ads, lawn signs or robo-calls that get people to the polls; the most powerful force is being asked (or nudged) by a friend. Will you get your friends to the polls? http://www.marylandpirg.org/action/voting-bring-a-friend?id4=ES Bring a friend with you to vote or if you don't know anyone that votes at your polling place, text five friends on Election Day, to remind them to vote. http://www.marylandpirg.org/action/voting-bring-a-friend?id4=ES Together we can ensure that this election reaches the record-turnout numbers that most pollsters are expecting. Our democracy is the winner if that many people really do turn out to vote. Thank you in advance for taking action, for voting, and for helping your friends and family to do the same!

As I'm sure you all know, about 10 years ago, when the Enoch Pratt Library announced it was closing the St. Paul St. Library -- one of the original neighborhood libraries funded by Andrew Carnegie in the 19th Century, the Charles Village community banded together and decided to try to save this precious neighborhood resource. The Late Delegate Pete Rawlings helped us get a foundation grant from the Open Spaces program to enable us to begin renovation planning. Major Schmoke began renting the now vacant library to the community for one dollar a year. We used the State grant to leverage another founding grant of a quarter of a million dollars from the Abell Foundation. Many, many hours of community effort from all kinds of folks of all ages, transformed the decaying building into a beautiful renovated 19th brick gem. A library committee raised money and bought the founding stock of books; a grant was received for the installation of a computer lab and the basement of the building was transformed into a after school learning enrichment program. The VLP now served nearly a hundred low-income students from the community, many of them from the Margaret Brent Elementary School. We have a beautiful rebuilt learning garden, as well as programs for adults and senior. Last year, Darran White Tilghman, the Development Director secured a 21st Century Learning Grant from the U.S. Department of Education that will allow the VLP to expand its learning programs. But the library cannot survive without major community support. Every year, the VLP holds a fund raising event for the community called, Read Between the Wines. It is a gala party with food and wine, an auction, music and dancing. David Wells from the Wine Source, long one of our important beneficiares, contributes the wine. This years event , Read Between the Wines, is being held this Saturday, October 18th at 7PM. It is always a lot of fun and Otto and I look forward to it with eagerness. If you have not already purchased a ticket -- they are $50 now and $60 at the door, please, please consider so doing. It will be a fun evening where we can all get together, eat some tasty food, drink some lovely wines and just get down and have a great time while we are supporting this wonderful organization. But, even if you can't attend, it would be wonderful if you could buy a ticket. We know that economic times are very tough and that their is a tremendous pull on our charitable giving.

[Chat] City Council Bill #08-0135 and possible adverse effect on Senator Theatre
Monday, July 7th, 2008 Dear Senator Theatre Patrons, For those of you who share our interest in protecting and preserving The Senator Theatre, we want to inform you of a pending legislative matter that if passed, may serve to undermine the theatre's operational status. We are asking our friends and supporters to tune into this issue and what's at stake, and to help us defeat the legislation currently pending before the Baltimore City Council. 4th district Councilmember Bill Henry has introduced City Council Bill #08-0135 for the purpose of approving certain amendments to the established Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Belvedere Square. Some of the amendments are warranted. Those that are problematic relate to the outdoor concerts and outdoor movies on weekend evenings. In recent years, the outdoor music concerts have expanded exponentially to the degree that they are severely undermining the economic viability of The Senator Theatre at a critical turning point in its 69 year history, due to lack of sufficient parking at The Square. The impact this has had on our operation was a factor that led to our foreclosure auction near-miss in February of 2007. We supported the investment of millions in supplemental public funds for the economic redevelopment of Belvedere Square and we helped to originate and promote the Friday outdoor concert series. We also feel that the events in question serve to benefit our commercial and residential district and that they should continue this summer as scheduled. We are quite concerned, however, about the underlying purpose, timing and effect of the PUD amendment legislation that has been introduced at the request of Belvedere Square current owners. We are also concerned that the PUD legislation is being rapidly propelled through the legislative process by our council representative on behalf of the developers, without apparent need and without following the appropriate procedures for proposed legislation of this type. Our concerns are shared among a number of the independent small businesses in our district, who like us, were not informed of this legislative effort to amend the PUD in our commercial district until it was well underway. It's been challenging for us as well to enlighten our patrons and area residents as to why we are so opposed to the legislation that is being moved along during the summer when many Baltimore City residents are not in town or focused on matters of this nature. We feel strongly that this proposed legislation will have negative ramifications that need to be better understood by all concerned before it becomes law. Time is of the essence at this juncture and most of our patrons and supporters remain unaware of what's taking place. This Tuesday evening, July 8th, at 5:30pm, Councilmember Henry is hosting a community-wide meeting at the historic Govans Library - located at 5714 Bellona Ave., Baltimore, MD 21212 - about the parking and traffic congestion issues related to the PUD amendment legislation. We encourage all those who wish to better understand the ramifications of what is being proposed and the reasons for our concern to attend the meeting if possible. We regret the short notice. Please join our timely efforts to shed light on what is being proposed and why, as we feel that it is misguided legislation that will be detrimental to The Senator Theatre and its future. For those who cannot attend, we will provide follow-up information about the meeting and about next week's Baltimore City Council meeting to our listserv members. If you have questions, concerns and/or comments please forward them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, Tom Kiefaber 410.435.3583 To be removed from opt-in list. william.schlegel@us.army.mil Description: Binary data ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/

To all: A lady by the name of Reba Bullock, who is the Director of Camp Success run at the Episcopal Church of St, Michael and All Angels that is located in the Barclay-Greenmount community of north central Baltimore is running a six week academic and cultural enrichment summer camp designed for children, ages five through twelve. The cost for this camp experience is $300. per student and runs for six weeks from June 30th through August 8th, 2008. This is a worthwhile program aimed at keeping the youngest of us safe and off the streets during a very lazy time of the year and offers to the students breakfast and lunch. There are currently 10 students in need of this camp whose families cannot afford to pay for this camp. We have sponsored one of the children, name unknown on the hope that it will keep this child safe from all that is happening in the communities of Baltimore. Please consider sponsoring a youngster and if you cannot afford the full amount, then please make a contribution in whatever amount you can afford. I think that it is worthwhile.

(tip from reader Ethel H., [log in to unmask][log in to unmask]) Use packing peanuts or pieces of EPS for light-weight drainage in the bottom of hanging planters. I have done all of the above and found ot really makes the pots much lighter - I usually skip the landscape fabric and let the soil fill in around the peanuts. Just is a pain when transplanting.

Re: [Chat] [I-NEIGHBORS] ground rent - another reference
http://www.peoples-law.org/housing/ltenant/legal%20info/ground%20rent%20leases.htm Ground Rent Leases Definition Ground rent leases are long-term leases, often for 99 years, renewable forever at the option of the tenant. With a ground rent lease, the tenant is in a practical sense the owner of the property, and his interest is usually the more valuable by far. The tenant pays the real property taxes and other real property assessments, and has control over the property. The landlord may enter and terminate the lease only if tenant is in default in payment of the rent. The rights of landlord and tenant may be inherited or assigned. - Original Message - From: Brad Schlegel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: I-Neighbors BetterWaverly [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Clarke - work, Mary Pat [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Clarke - home, Mary Pat [EMAIL PROTECTED]; brwork [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Brmeade [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Katie Villegas [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 10:42 AM Subject: Re: [I-NEIGHBORS] ground rent I used Google to find the following links on ground rents. The practice of ground rents goes back centuries and was simply a way of a landowner gaining income from the use of their land by the tenants. In cases of land subject to a ground rent there are two real estate interests - the freehold interest and the leasehold interest. Both have economic value and can be bought and sold as separate real estate entities. You as the owner of your house, Leona, are also the owner of the leasehold interest. The value of that interest is what you get when you sell your house (which includes the value of the land) and you are subject to property tax on that value. The person to whom you pay ground rent holds the freehold interest, but this is subject to the lease that was created - which you currently own. Thus the freehold owner, having rented his interest to you, is only entitled to the annual rent and will only be able to sell that interest for the capitalized value of the annual rent. Actually the following link to Senate Bill 869 provides a more precise explanation: Under a typical ground rent contract, the tenant agreed to pay all fees, taxes, and other costs associated with ownership of the property http://mgadls.state.md.us/2007RS/fnotes/bil_0009/sb0869.pdf SB 869 Department of Legislative Services Maryland General Assembly 2007 Session FISCAL AND POLICY NOTE Senate Bill 869 (Senator Gladden) Budget and Taxation State Income Tax - Credit for Release of Ground Rent This bill creates a tax credit against the State income tax for a landlord of property subject to a ground lease who provides, without requiring the payment of consideration, the tenant with a deed of redemption and the original deed for the property. The amount of the credit is equal to the lesser of $100 or 33% of the average ground rent for the property for three years. The bill takes effect July 1, 2007 and applies to tax year 2007 and beyond. Current Law: No similar State tax credit exists. SB 869 / Page 2 Ground rents executed prior to April 9, 1884 could be redeemable or irredeemable, depending on the terms of the lease. A ground rent established on or after that date may be redeemed by the tenant. The tenant must give the ground rent holder one month's notice and pay: . an amount equal to the annual rent multiplied by: . 25, which is capitalization at 4%, if the lease was executed from April 8, 1884 to April 5, 1888; . 8.33, which is capitalization at 12%, if the lease was executed after July 1, 1982; or . 16.66, which is capitalization at 6%, if the lease was executed at any other time; . a lesser sum, if specified in the lease; or . a sum to which the parties may agree at the time of redemption. If the lease was executed after July 1, 1982, the reversion is redeemable five years after the date of the lease. If the lease was entered before that time, it may be redeemed at any time. Background: While ground rents are recognized in other states, Maryland's system is unique. In Maryland, a ground rent creates a leasehold estate in the grantee. The leasehold estate is personal - not real - property. The grantor retains a reversion in the ground rent property and the fee simple title to the land. Ground rents generally have a 99-year term and renew perpetually. Ground rent is paid to the grantor (the ground rent holder) for the use of the property for the term of the lease in annual or semi-annual installments. Under a typical ground rent contract, the tenant agreed to pay all fees, taxes, and other costs associated with ownership of the property. Ground rents have been a form of property holding in Maryland since colonial times, with some of the earliest known leases dating to 1750. The purpose of these ground rents was to produce income for their grantors.
