With standing ovations abounding, Principal Penelope Martin was beaming with pride as her students ignited audiences for three consecutive nights.
“The students are absolutely wonderful,” said Martin. “Many of them are students who want to pursue theater or the arts, but many of them are just students who are interested in performing at this point and juncture.”
When asked about West, she replied, “Uuh! He’s an absolute dream. He’s going to be a star one day!”
As a result of his performance, West has been invited to visit the Apollo in Harlem. Further, his plans include ultimately going to college at Julliard or NYU. First, however, he must master his course load at the next level. And for him, that means doing swell at Carver Center for Arts and Technology – beginning this fall.
To say the least, his family is not surprised at his high level of dancing skill. According to his mother, Jewel West, “Mikey has been singing and dancing for as long as I can remember.”

WBAL TV-11 has recently reported how three Baltimore City Police officers have turned themselves in for kidnapping a local youth and leaving him in Howard County with no shoes and no cell phone.
While that is unfortunate indeed, I’m going to take a minute to acknowledge the many officers on the force who actually make a difference.
Like politicians, police officers are held to a higher standard. And while there are some who are probably not worthy of the position, there are many officers – black, white, Latino, and Asian – who actually do make a difference.

TGR: Guest Editorial: Saturday Night Fights at Upton Boxing Center:
Upton Boxing Center had a sell-out, standing room only crowd at its amateur Saturday Night Fights. Boxers came to fight from as far north as New Jersey and farther south as North Carolina to compete in the three-round prize show.
The show was hosted by Baltimore City Police Department spokesperson, Donny Moses, who often volunteers at the gym. The first bout of the night was between two local gyms: Charm City and Mac Lewis. The competitors fought in a box-off to see who would represent Baltimore in the Junior Olympic trials. Charm City was the winner. Upton’s Gervonta “Tank” Davis gained an automatic bid to the Junior Olympic trials that will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on May 21-23.
