MEET JANE WEHRLE& OUR COMMUNITY OF LOOPSTERS THE LOOP: *** E-Blasts Featured after Introductory Articles ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Political Season In the new normal, the days of 24/7 cable news networks and commentators galore, one might argue that the political season is non-stop. There's truth in that, of course. But as actual election day gets closer, a larger and larger segment of the public becomes aware of the campaigns and those competing for our votes. This reality is no different in the world of THE Loop, even though the organization itself tries to stay politically neutral and to include citizens of all persuasions and ideological stances. That said, I have had my fair share of knocks on the door recently and have found myself in conversation with the candidates themselves or their enthusiastic representatives. I am also accumulating my stack of brochures and leaflets and even have some hanging in the places of honor on the refrigerator. And, NO, I'm not telling! But, I am offering this non-original thought and hope that you'll take it to heart. The city and state we live in...indeed our country...is facing many, many challenges. This is NOT the time to sit idly by and to let someone else read up on the issues and the candidates. This is NOT the time to shrug your shoulders and say "Why bother?" This, of all times, is NOT the time to decide that everything has gone to hell in a handbasket ...even if some things have appeared to do so... and to hide under your blankie. May I propose that you do SOMETHING, even if it is just making yourself a more knowledgeable person who can cast a more informed vote. Hey, if you learn more, you can even gripe more intelligently. So, as I said, I am not proposing anything new. It's political season; and, thankfully, in this country, we still have the rights that many , many others in this world have NEVER HAD. So, even if you have "had it with politicians, the bad news, and the STUFF" ... whatever and whoever those and that might be... think about the unthinkable alternative and JUST DO IT... SOMETHING, that is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn more about THE Loop and how to join here: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE Loop Personal and Quirky, And Growing Every Day “Hey, Jane. There’s suddenly no water at the Rec Center and I have 45 kids in here. We need to contact somebody NOW!” “Dear Loopsters, Does anybody know when they'll be back to pave the street?" “Jane. Please distribute this message about the upcoming meeting at your earliest convenience.” “Big Red.. Can you tell the Loopsters about this festival?" Every day when I open my e-mail around lunchtime, these are the types of messages that greet me. There used to be two or three of them; now there are typically at least twenty. One day last week, there were thirty five. But to use an expression that I picked up in my vocal performing days, I'm not complaining and “It makes my heart sing.” These messages are the best evidence I have that for some, THE LOOP is providing a sense of connectedness for people in our area and is also , of course, distributing information on a timely basis that otherwise might not get “out.” The history of THE LOOP is a tale of a former educator who happens to live on a street of younger professionals who originally connected to me as their neighborhood association block captain through paper messages which then changed to e-mails. Then, our street began to invite neighboring streets to social functions and to confer with their residents and neighborhood organization representatives about questions that concerned us all. Then came the awareness that these questions and answers and non-answers were both spilling over into more streets and also that some organizations rarely worked together in cordial ways. There’s also the factor of my propensity to talk to all sorts of people in all types of settings-- to a fault. One thing led to another, and THE LOOP took off !!!There is considerable evidence to suggest that we are reaching hundreds of people daily, depending on the topics addressed by the message. But even as we grow quickly, I am determined that THE Loop will hold onto those qualities that I like to think have made it catch on and last : a personal touch; real contact with people you know or at least live near or could meet; a sense of pride, cooperation, and civility in what I consider to be one of the most wonderful areas in the United States; and a sense of safety in ‘membership’ because it has not and will not become a “free for all” either in membership or unrestrained conflict. So... I’ll end this article with the “OFFICIAL” pitch for THE Loop. As it says... We’d LOVE to have YOU . The address to join is choirjw@aol.com . And, it is true..I really do believe...We ARE “All in this together." So, as we always say at THE Loop, Read on! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's THE PITCH: Dear Friend, This is a note to invite you and associates or neighbors in South Baltimore...or anywhere in the city, for that matter, as our membership now stretches throughout the region... to become members of THE Loop. What began as an easy way to keep in touch and informed on E Wheeling Street in Federal Hill has now evolved into an interconnected network of residents, merchants, city and neighborhood officials and representatives, organizations, safety officers, restaurant and hospitality folk, congregation leaders, volunteers, and others, who stay in touch through e mail messages which all go through a hub. Every message is different and is labeled clearly so a member knows whether to bother to open it during a busy day. All addresses are kept at the hub and not sent out unless the message to be distributed indicates that the sender so desires. The price of membership is ZERO. You may disconnect from THE Loop as easily as you join. To join, send your desire to do so to me, Jane Wehrle, at choirjw@aol.com along with the e mail address you wish to use for Loop messages . Thanks for all you do. and thank you for reading about the ever growing Loop. Our motto: "We're all in this together." Yours truly, Jane Wehrle 20 Year Resident of Baltimore Educator/Artist/Volunteer Activist/Writer Founder and Facilitator of THE Loop ------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOOP E-BLASTS/ LOOP E-BLASTS: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alert: AREA NINE PARKING..August 9,2010 Dear Loopsters, Just across my desk... and probably many of yours... as expected??...an extension again.

Today we say hello to new Loopster LUKE CLIPPINGER , who came a-knockin' on the doors of E Wheeling Street yesterday. We're having a lot of political visitors these days. And we love having all of you candidates and activists in THE Loop!

And now, read on, Jane Wehrle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ON CRIME: Hey Jane, Just wanted to give you & our neighborhood a heads up that there were an abundance of car break-ins (most on West Street & Race Street) over the past weekend. The Baltimore City policeman that I spoke with about my own break-in advised me that there is a suspect that was released from jail on Friday that will frequently hit those specific streets. Please remind the neighborhood to be extra cautious when parking & to keep all electronics out of view. Thanks, Alice Drayfahl -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ON WALKING DOGS: We were in the park at mid afternoon (just got a new rescue dog thanks to SALLY JENNINGS) for the first time in many months. This may not be news to other dog walkers, but we were surprised by two men in T shirts and civvie pants walking by. When they passed I saw the words "Park Ranger" on the backs of their shirts. I called to them and they said they work the city parks. One said there aren't many of them. He said they had worked the "west side parks" yesterday and implied they were doing the other parks today. When I asked whether they enforced the leash law, one showed me a ticket book he was carrying and said, "$250 fine." But the other seemed to imply they warned owners of unleashed dogs first. They were pleasant to talk to, unlike some of the animal control people I met in past years. So be warned..... Jim -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ON TRAFFIC: Dear Jane: Info for you. Thank you. (Tuesday concert downtown/see attachment for details.)
