This article summarizes the conflict over the historic St. Stanislaus Kostka Roman Catholic Church in Baltimore's Fells Point neighborhood. A group of developers plans to demolish most of the church's associated buildings, including the school and parish hall, to build luxury condominiums.

The church owners, a group of Franciscan friars, view the development as necessary due to economic difficulties. The future of the property remains undecided pending a court case between the fri
Speed Bump: Maryland Doesn't Have a Widespread Meth Problem--At Least Not YetLaura Laing
This article discusses the emerging threat of methamphetamine in Maryland. While meth has ravaged other parts of the country, Maryland has been relatively spared so far, with less than 5% of drug users reporting meth use compared to over 40% for cocaine. However, experts warn it is only a matter of time before meth becomes a major problem in Maryland due to factors like proximity to rural areas suitable for meth labs and urban drug markets.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Holy Mess
The Battle Over St. Stanislaus
By Laura Laing | Posted 6/7/2006
JUST AFTER A LATEAFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM, the
corner of Aliceanna and Ann streets in Fells Point is alive
with activity. Horns honk. A woman speaks through a PA
system. A man dressed in flowing robes and a tall hat
impersonates a Roman Catholic cardinal. A woman walks
through the intersection dressed in an old friar’s
costume. Placards are propped up on the walkers of
elderly women—one, dressed in a white Tshirt,
oversized black oxford shirt, and a floppy hat, literally
hangs onto a lamppost for support.
It’s just an ordinary afternoon for the St. Stan’s
protesters.
Since around the end of March, a dedicated group of
community members has claimed this spot periodically to
make a point to passersby. They want to save 1.7 acres
of Fells Point history from being razed to make way for
23 $800,000 condominiums.
For most of the 20th century, St. Stanislaus Kostka
Roman Catholic Church was the hub of the Polish Catholic
community in Fells Point—a refuge from rough living and
the model of 1950sstyle wholesomeness. But St. Stan’s
closed in 2000, and many of the buildings that share the
700 block of South Ann Street—the church, the friary, St.
Stanislaus school, and the enormous parish hall—stand
vacant. Rumor has it that the elaborate Eastern
European décor of the upper and lower church
sanctuaries is collecting dust. Virtually no one has been
inside the church itself in more than five years. On
Aliceanna Street, torn window shades and bumper
stickers decorate the windows of the friary and litter
collects at the gigantic wooden door of the parish hall.
The only inhabited building of the property is the
convent, located just to the south of the church on Ann
Street. Mother Seton Academy, a private, tuitionfree
school for underprivileged middleschool students, has
been based there for more than 12 years. If current
plans for development go through, the school will vacate
the convent and expand into the church, retrofitting the
upper and lower sanctuaries with classrooms, a cafeteria,
and a gymnasium. Artifacts from the sanctuaries,
including pews, altars, and religious paintings, will be
saved, likely either sold for charity or donated. The
surrounding buildings will be replaced by highend
condominiums with underground parking.
“Call, write, or email the Franciscans, Mother Seton
Academy, and the cardinal—sign our petition online,”
Barbara Cromwell, program coordinator for the Society
for the Preservation of Federal Hill and Fells Point—
commonly referred to as the Preservation Society—

carefully enunciates into the PA system’s microphone in
front of St. Stan’s. The protesters are giddy because the
weather is nice—car windows are down, which means
their message is getting through.
Those they oppose are not represented on the corner this
afternoon. St. Anthony of Padua Province, the group of
Franciscan friars that owns the entire property and rents
out the convent to Mother Seton Academy, is based in
Ellicott City. And then there’s Howard Countybased Iron
Horse Properties—also known as the Hampton Group—
which won the contract to develop the condominiums
that will nearly encircle the newly remodeled
church/school. (Two principals in the company are board
members for Mother Seton Academy.) Columbiabased
Thomas Builders plans to purchase the property from
Iron Horse and has begun securing the proper permits
for demolition and construction.
That doesn’t dissuade Fells Point’s Polish and
preservation communities—some of whom are part of the
ruckus on the corner. After saving the neighborhood from
proposed interstate highways in the early 1970s, many
are ready for the next battle.
“We stopped the road from coming through here,”
picketer Joanne Mazurek says. “We’re just trying to get
the developers, Mother Seton, and the Franciscans to
realize that this is not just a valuable piece of dirt.”
“I’d be shouting, if I could,” says Jean Hepner, grasping a
lamppost with all of her might—her walker is being used
to prop up her placard. “I have a paralyzed vocal cord,”
she whispers.
Hepner also protested the interstate development more
than 30 years ago. “And we won that one,” she notes.
“I’m not Polish, and I’m not Catholic, either. But this is
important. This is part of our neighborhood. That’s the
original Polish Catholic church in Baltimore.” She points
to St. Stan’s. She adds that the developer’s plans will
cause “a terrible, jagged hole in our neighborhood.”
Mother Seton Academy has a contract for the church,
and the developers and builders are going forward with
their plans for the remainder of the property. But nothing
can be finalized until a court case is resolved between
the Franciscans and St. Stanislaus Kostka Polish and
Slavic Church Museum, Inc., a group of community
members that wishes to turn the church into a museum
and community gathering place.
The Preservation Society describes the conflict as David
vs. Goliath—a fading traditional neighborhood faces a
giant developer and the Catholic Church. The Franciscans
see development as inevitability—surging market forces
and the church’s economic difficulties demand new
approaches to neighborhood and community
preservation. A large sign erected in front of St.
Stanislaus Kostka Church assures those who read it that
there are no plans to tear down the church building, but
the community it once served has certainly sustained
some damage.
THE HEADQUARTERS FOR ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA
PROVINCE in Ellicott City seems light years from Fells
Point. On a clear day, the blue sky stretches out for miles
above rural landscapes. Hefty signs announcing new,
suburban housing developments punctuate twisting
roads. The sounds of construction interrupt the natural
voices of a spring day.
A large statue of St. Anthony greets visitors as they wind
up a long driveway to the Provincial House. On the right,
construction workers are busily tearing down an old barn.
(A new barn has already been constructed.) The
Provincial House décor is distinctly hotellike—shiny,

has been to intimidate some of our young students and disrupt our educational and spiritual program,” the
statement reads. “We expect that these effects have been unintended; we earnestly hope that some
consideration will be given these children in the future. They are the ones whom we, in the strongest
traditions of the former St. Stanislaus Church, come to serve and benefit.”
Picketers and Preservation Society members seem genuinely surprised and concerned by this allegation.
They contend that Mother Seton students were initially curious about the picketing and approached them
with questions, but that no one has been hostile toward the students, parents, or teachers. Ellen von
Karajan recalls a conversation she had with a student at the school. “He told me, ‘It’s OK. I think you’re
fighting a lost cause here, but you have the courage of your convictions,’” she says.
“I’ve talked to those children,” Tempera says. “And I’ve never gotten the impression that they’re upset. I’m
very neighborhood conscious.” The statement issued by the school, she says, “came as a big shock to me.”
There have also been reports of children at the school cursing picketers and giving them the finger. The
sisters at the school were consulted about this, Tempera says, and the behavior stopped immediately.
But concerns about traffic continue. Tempera says that no traffic study was done regarding the impact of an
expanded school and new condominiums. “For the taxes that we pay, we deserve better planning and
accountability,” she says.
IN THE END, SOMEONE WILL BE UNHAPPY with the outcome of the St. Stanislaus controversy. As long as
there is a glimmer of hope, protesters will continue to shout their message in Fells Point.
“The picketing is going to continue, I can tell you that,” Tempera says. “I can’t tell you how many people
thank us for taking time out of our busy schedules to educate them.”
Father Robert Twele, Mother Seton Academy, and Thomas Builders are going forward with their plans.
“Mother Seton is the dog, and I am the tail,” Thomas Builders’ Carney says. “This is about keeping the
underprivileged students in a free, private education.”
Von Karajan has entered into a philosophical space. She tells the story of St. Francis, the saint for whom the
Franciscans are named.
One day, when St. Francis was praying in his garden, God spoke to him and said, “Go, Francis, and repair
my house, which as you see is falling into ruin.” St. Francis took this literally. Stealing a bolt of fabric from
his father, he attempted to raise money to preserve the church building. Along with his other more notable
charities, he went on to restore several ruined churches.
“This is an important piece of the spiritual and caring work the Franciscans did,” von Karajan says. “It
should be their legacy, instead of tearing it down. One of the things we have tried to do is call to them to
remember.”
