Community
shows support for
Southeast police
BY GIANNA DECARLO
[email protected]
The Southeast police district has had a busy
couple of weeks. Once the shock of protests
and riots died down, the district was stricken
with an outbreak of shootings, some of which
resulted in homicides.
Major Deron Garrity was, and remains, in
direct center of the action. He flew one of the
helicopters during the riots and looting
throughout the city on Monday, April 27.
“It was something I’ve never seen in my
career and it’s something I hope I never see
again. It was bad,” said Garrity about the
experience. He spent over 20 hours in the air
over three days. He said that having the
helicopters, however disruptive and noisy they
may have been to residents, were important to
supplementing the patrols. It allowed them a
larger view which let them see what was
happening blocks away so they knew where to
direct traffic flow.
He said a lot of the anti-police sentiment

The Patterson Park Neighborhood
Association met on Monday, May 11 at St.
Elizabeth of Hungary Church to provide
updates on spring events and other community
issues.
First on the agenda was an announcement
enforcement on housing code will begin.
According to Councilman Jim Kraft, flyers of
the code will given out which states that each
violation of the code will result in at least a
$50 fine. Some of these violations include
having a trash can without a lid, high weeds or
grass, and excessive littering and trash buildup. Any one with tips on those who are not
obeying the code are encouraged to call 311.
Following this, Delegates Brooke Lierman,
Pete Hammen and Senator Bill Ferguson
discussed what happened in Annapolis at
their senate meetings.
Lierman said that they passed a balanced
city budget with $11 million dollars going to
Baltimore City Public Schools. She said that
Governor Hogan has not yet approved the
updated budget. Another bill that wasn’t
passed was a Community Clean-Up and
Greening Act. The act “prohibits most
retailers from distributing plastic bags at
checkout, with exceptions for meats, produce,
and limited other items. Retailers would
charge 10 cents for each paper bag requested
by the consumer,” according to Lierman.
Lierman also said that during the session
she pushed for a board of planning and
oversight for the MTA. She is working on
establishing a working group.
Delegate Hammen’s Recreational Vessel
bill, which would eliminate the rule that you
need a bay pilot to be on a boat within the
harbor, was passed, as well as approval to
build stabilization centers in the city.
A stabilization center is “a center for
medical care, mental health care, case
management, etc. for at-risk individuals with
drug, alcohol, or mental health issues. Police
or other 1st responders could take these
people there instead of to Central Booking or
to an ER,” explained Hammen. The project
will recieve $3.6 million dollars in funding.
Hammen said that the centers would save a lot
of money and reduce the amount of “catch
and release” that troubled people go through
with medical care.
Senator Ferguson said that his Youth Works
program, which encourages local businesses
to hire and train a young adult, would be
doubling in size over the next five weeks. He
called for the association to spread the word
and reach out for volunteers. Any one
interested should contact Ferguson’s office to
get involved. He also introduced a bill that
would make more socio-economically diverse
public schools by mixing Baltimore City and
Baltimore County students. It didn’t pass this
session, but Ferguson said he will keep
pushing forward with it.
An official date for the next Patterson
Master Plan meeting has been set. It will take
place on Wednesday, June 24, from 7 p.m. to
9 p.m. at Patterson Park Public Charter
School. This will be the last public meeting
where aspects of the plan can be changed.
The Friends of Patterson Park are hosting a
wine-tasting and silent auction fundraiser on
Thursday, May 21 at Patterson Park around
the pagoda. Tickets are available at www.
pattersonpark.com.
For anybody struggling with rats in your
trash, a representative for the company The
Compost Crew offered a solution. The Crew
will give you a composting bin for your
garbage and then do door-to-door pick-up.
Every 6 months you’ll be delivered a bag of
composted fertilizer that you helped create.
For more information or to sign up www.
compostcrew.com/pattersonpark or email
[email protected].
Phil Mendenbach, the Sanitation chair of
the Patterson Park Neighbors, said the next
block clean-up will be on Saturday, June 6. It
will focus on the alleys between Baltimore
and East Sts. The dumpster will be on East St.
If you participate in the clean-up, you could be
eligible for a rain tax or stormwater credit.
On the topic of clean ups, Kim Wiggins of
the Greening committee announced the
official date Patterson Park’s Annual Home
and garden tour which is Saturday, June 13.
Wiggins is still looking for houses to show,
especially those between Milton and Linwood
Avenues.
Email Kim at coordinator@pattersonpark
neighbors.org to volunteer to help run the tour,
volunteer your house for the tour, or suggest
someone else’s house for the tour.

Residents and DOT rally to bring
Red Line to Baltimore
BY GIANNA DECARLO [email protected]
The Baltimore City Department of
Transportation and Baltimore Heritage
organized a Baltimore Red Line Summit at
Patterson Park on Friday, May 15 to show
their support for bringing the Red line to
the city.
Delegate Brooke Lierman of the 26th
district spoke, calling the Red a “unifying
force” which will connect the west and east
sides of Baltimore.
“We all need to get to work, we all need
to get home to see our kids, and we all need
to be able to go out on the weekends to local
businesses and live our lives. We need a
better way to do all those things in
Baltimore City and the Red Line is a first
steps,” she said.
She said that the city wants to bring
10,000 families to Baltimore, but not their
10,000 cars. She also said that commuting
time has emerged as the strongest factor for
escaping poverty as a reason why public
transportation is important.
Fleming El-Amin, the DOT Red Line
Project Manager, said the Red Line has
been in development for around seven years.
Chris Ryer of the Southeast CDC also
voiced his endorsement.
“We have seen the Red Line as a
revitalization tool for Southeast Baltimore
and also a way of knitting neighborhoods
together, neighborhoods that are now split
with rail and industrial quarters, for the 21st
century as opposed to the 20th,” said Ryer
who mentioned how Southeast is in gridlock
during rush hour due to high traffic volume.
“Transit saves, transit connects, transit is
economic development, and transit it
needed,” said Dru Schmidt-Perkins of 1000
Friends of Maryland. “
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake
announced her support for a Red Line
system in Baltimore earlier this week at
press conference on Tuesday, May 12 at
City Hall.
The mayor said her support was based on
the employment opportunities the Red Line
would bring, as well as providing a more
efficient form of public transportation.
“Let’s not beat around the bush. We know
that the last few weeks have challenged our
city’s resiliency, but it also has shown our
resolve. Among the many lessons we
learned is that Baltimore needs more ways
to connect our citizens with more jobs
and more opportunities, and the Red Line
does exactly that,” said Rawlings-Blake at
City Hall.
The press conference at City Hall drew
over a hundred people that wanted to rally
support.
“The Red Line has enormous potential to
spur the reuse and rehabilitation of historic
buildings, create new jobs and shape a
brighter future for the residents of
Baltimore’s historic neighborhoods,” said
the Baltimore Heritage in a statement.
Rawlings-Blake called the Red Line a “a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to improve
life for Baltimore citizens. She then called
for the same support for Governor Larry
Hogan.
Hogan has previously commented on the
high price tag of the Red Line, estimated
around $3 billion dollars, and whether or
not the city could afford this. A spokesperson
for the governor said that they are currently
reviewing the project.
“The only thing standing in the way of
the progress of the red line is the support
that we need from the state. We cannot let
this opportunity slip by,” said the mayor.
The other main speaker was representative
Elijah Cumming. He said that Baltimore
city has committed $230 million, Baltimore
county has committed $900 million and the
federal government would give $900
million.
“If the governor would merely sign on, we
would get $100 million this year and $900
million over the course of the project,” said
Cumming.
Cumming said that if action wasn’t taken
soon, then it could be years before any
progress and development is made.
The Red Line would be a 14 mile, 19 stop,
transit line starting at the Woodlawn
neighborhood of Baltimore County, through
West Baltimore, the Inner Harbor, through
southeast, and ending at Johns Hopkins
Governor Hogan is expected to announce
the future of the Red Line by the end
of June.

Exploring the effects
of war with
BALTIMORE GUIDE 9
‘Last of the Boys’
BY GIANNA DECARLO [email protected]
Last of the Boys, playing at the Fells Point
Corner Theatre at 251 S Ann Street, is a play
that delves into the lives of two best friends
and Vietnam veterans decades after they were
forever changed by the devastation of the war.
The relationship of the two men is strained
as both try to forget about the traumatic
experience and save their friendship. Ben,
played by Mark Squirek, is living alone in a
trailer park that has long been abandoned by
his neighbors. This solitude only pushes him
further into his self-inflicted isolation and
internal battles. Jeeter, played by Tony
Colavito, is eccentric and sucked into new-age
philosophy and fills his time with Rolling
Stones concerts and meaningless hookups.
Jeeter just returned from Ben’s father’s
funeral, which Ben missed, with mementos
such as the American flag draped over the
coffin.
Squirek is subtle in showing Ben’s torment,
but in the aching moments of silence, we can
see through expression and body language
alone, how fundamentally lost the character
is. Often times the moments are punctuated
with the sound of gunfire or helicopters,
placing the audience in his position. Squirek’s
interactions with Colavito are done
spectacularly, with glimpses into what their
friendship was like before they were burdened
with the experiences of war.
Jeeter’s woman-of-the-month is Salyer
played by Casey Dutt, an angsty younger
woman with an interest in the war due to a
mysterious father figure that died while in the
service. Sal’s mother Lorraine, played by a
wonderfully stressed-out and mourning
Katherine Lyons, eventually winds up at
Ben’s trailer looking for her wayward
daughter.
A turning point in the play has Sal, in the
midst of a fight with Jeeter, mocking his
obsessive nature, saying he is “always stuck
on something”. This represents the stagnancy
of Ben and Jeeter.
Ben throughout the show also struggles
with mixed feelings about the war, part of
him feels like a hero while the other part feels
like a monster. Sal and Lorraine are still griefstricken over the loss of a man the loved or
never knew.
“They’re all sick. All four characters are
suffering so deeply, there’s such pain,” said
director of Last of the Boys, Barry Feinstein.
Feinstein himself is a veteran of the time,
being drafted to Okinawa in the 60s.
“I was drafted and like the characters say,
when you get that letter a fog just comes over
you,” he said, referencing a recurring theme
of fog and the unknown in the play.
When discussing the challenges in directing
such complex characters, Feinstein was
interrupted by Squirek who said “He’s
steering an extremely large ship and we didn’t
hit an iceberg. I’m an extremely lucky man,
thank you Barry.”
Feinstein says that PTSD was a common
problem in veterans, who were often
villianized by the community when they
returned home. This shift in the society from
unwavering support, to vehement hatred of
the soldiers naturally affected their
acclimation back into reality.
He said that as 40th anniversary of the Fall
of Saigon, which marked the end of the
Vietnam war, is remembered, it’s important
that we remember those that were at the front
line because their pain remains once they’re
off the battlefield.
For example, Ben deals with his pain by
embodying the spirit of Robert McNamara,
the Secretary of Defense who sent the boys to
war. As McNamara, Ben is haunted by the
ghost of a young soldier.
Sal is the only other one who can see the
ghost of the soldier.
“Do you believe in ghosts, Ben?,” she asks
at one point, “Yeah, me neither. But they keep
turning up now, don’t they?”
Lorraine has her daughter’s attitude paired
with a lingering bitterness over the war who
took the love of her life from her. Her
breakdown is made all the more tragic when
Sal begs her to see the ghost to no avail.
The explosive climax has the four characters
getting drunk and releasing the tension that
has been building up since Jeeter and Ben
reunited. Secrets and lies are revealed,
opening wounds and exposing how
inescapable PTSD has plagued these men and
potentially ruining their friendship forever.
Last of the Boys opened on May 15 and
will play until June 7. For more information or

expressed during this time has weighed
heavily on the department.
“I’m doing fine, I’m more concerned about
the officers and how they’re doing. A lot of
police take things to heart. They need to
realize this is a business and things are going
to happen outside of out control and we can’t
take it personally.”
Garrity said that officers get tunnel-vision
when they only see the negative public
reaction. However, he said that most of the
negativity and distrust was confined to the
west-side and support for the police has come
pouring in from the Southeast.
And a lot of this support has been delicious.
“I hope this never happens again because of
the amount of food that the public brought us,
we had a tremendous amount of people
bringing up food, water , drinks, and
specialties dishes from the Greek and
Hispanic community, I mean, you name it, we
had it,” Garrity said of all the refreshments
that have come in.
He said that the recreation room where they
stored the food was packed, “we had food up
to here!” he said, gesturing to shoulder-height.
On a door in the rec room is a collage of letters
of support and thanks from residents.
“It’s physically impossible to thank the
community enough.”
Diana Pons is a Highlandtown resident who
helped assemble these gifts, along with Crissy
Suit.
“The whole thing was for the police to
know that we have their back and that we
support them regardless of what is happening
In any type of a career, there’s always a few
people that are bad apples, and the news only
focuses on that, so I want them to know that
even when all this craziness is going on, the
Major Deron Garrity | Courtesy photo
community is supporting them,” said Pons.
Pons and Suit spread the work through
social media and Pons called the turn out
“unbelievable”. She said the generosity of
neighbors was good encouragement for the
officers.
“You should’ve seen the smiles on their
faces,” she said, “They really are a good group
of people.”
This isn’t the first time Southeast has given
back to the police district. A few years ago,
their station underwent an extreme renovations
due to donations for local businesses,
politicians, and residents. Garrity excitedly
talks about their outside pavilion with flatscreen TVs and grilles. On Sunday, May 17,
the community hosted a cook-out on the
pavilion for the officers.

Bike Jammin’
Patterson Park hosted Bikejam, a
gathering of over 1200 cycling enthusiasts,
on Sunday, May 17. Over 20 bike races were
held throughout the event with riders
ranging in ages from under 9 years old to
over 45. Some of these races, like the The
Kelly Cup Pro Race, were high-caliber,
professional level races. Other less strenuous
trails were available for the more leisurely
rider, like the The Lolly Pop Ride which is
a 12 mile ride through Druid Hill Park, the
farmer’s market, and community gardens.
Bikejam was created by the Gathering and
sanctioned by the U.S. Cycling Federation
to celebrate the cycling community and get
others involved in this healthy and fun
sport.
Food trucks, such as The Ice Cream
Experiment which made instant ice cream
in front of you, provided food and drink
specials to fuel the riders and bystanders.
Live music was provided by the Orchester
Prazevica Rufus Roundtree and Da B’More
Brass Factory.

Mike Wright | Photo courtesy of the Baltimore Orioles.
On Sunday, Wright pitched in his
Major-League debut against the Los
Angeles Angels and gave up only four
hits in 7 1/3 innings while striking out six
and walking none en route to a Baltimore
3-0 victory.
The 25 year old was called up with
Bud Norris and Chris Tillman each
dealing with their own health issues and
Wright was up to the task.
In case you haven’t heard of Wright
before, you might not be alone. When
you think of some of the minor league
pitchers in the Orioles farm system, you
normally might think of Dylan Bundy or
Hunter Harvey, but Wright came through
for the O’s in a big way Sunday.
Wright was drafted by Baltimore in the
third round of the 2011 Draft and has
been in the minors ever since. He pitched
very well in 2013 while in AA Bowie
where he posted an 11-3 record with a
3.26 ERA before making his first start in
AAA Norfolk where he picked up a
no-decision in 6 2/3 innings of shutout
ball.
After a season like that, one might
think he would pick up in 2014 where he
left off in 2013, however that was not the
case. 2014 saw Wright spend all season in
AAA Norfolk where he went 5-11 with a
4.62 ERA in 26 starts however the big
right hander has turned that around this
year. In six starts at AAA this year,
Wright has gone 3-0 with a 2.64 ERA.
His WHIP has been equally as impressive
at 1.109 and his 30 strikeouts in 30 2/3
innings pitched is the best ratio of his
career.
Monday, the Orioles officially placed
Bud Norris on the Disabled List due to
bronchitis, and in turn promoted Tyler
Wilson from AAA Norfolk to the O’s.
Along with that news, Chris Tillman has
been dealing with back stiffness and an
illness. His numbers this year are looking
pretty rough as he has posted a record of
2-5 with a 6.34 ERA, so it will look like
Wright has his opportunity to make a
name for himself over the next week or so.
If he can continue to do what he did on
Sunday the rest of the way, there is no
reason to keep him off the Baltimore
roster. Even if he can duplicate his AAA
numbers in Baltimore, that would still be
a great thing and would give the Orioles
much needed pitching depth.
Here’s to hoping Wright keeps this up!

GARRITY: Crime updates
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10
The station also has a state-of-the-art gym
and a complete kitchen and other comforts,
like a washing machine and roomy lockers
thanks to donations.
“We’re civil servants, we serve the public.
the public doesn’t owe us anything,” he said of
recent support, “It’s a shame we had to get this
point for people to come forward, but I mean,
it’s a good thing out of such a bad thing.”
Garrity explained that the uptick in violence
in the area was due to the lack of resources.
Many officers in Southeast were deployed to
west Baltimore leading to a lack of officers on
street. He is referencing the extreme increase
in shootings across the city, over 9 a day. He
said criminal are taking advantage of the
decreased police presence.
He brought up the case of Mr. Joe, who was
killed outside his market and deli on Highland
Avenue, calling the suspects “cowards”. He
did say that there are several leads on the case
and that it is moving forward. Anyone with
information is still urged to call the Homicide
Unit at 410-396-2100.
Despite the shootings, Garrity said that
burglaries are down and that crime is starting
to settle back to normal as police return from
the west. He points to a map in his office that’s
covered in thumbtacks that represent a crime
and where it occurred. He uses this visual to
find patterns in crime and to determine where
to send patrols.
On Saturday, June 20, the Southeast police
district will host a Partnership Family Day at
Patterson Park which will host the annual
police vs. community softball game. Garrity
said that the event was planned long before
the events of the past weeks and couldn’t have
come at a better time.
It’s
physically
impossible to
thank
the community
enough.

PRACTICAL PET PROTOCOL
Functional Obedience for Dogs and their Families
What sets Practical Pet Protocol training
classes apart from the rest in Baltimore?
We keep you in control, teaching you how to deliver commands
such as sit, down, come, stay, heel, and place.
We expose your dog to real-world distractions during the training
process, ensuring the training is solid and reliable. After all, these new
behaviors need to stick even after the group sessions have ended.
We’ll teach you a time-tested approach that will enable you to address any behavioral relapses or new behavior problems before they
get out of hand, without needing to call on a trainer.
We address not only the elements needed for basic obedience, but
also the elements needed for a basic, functional relationship with your
dog. We show you how to develop a bond of mutual trust and respect
that will allow you to keep a positive influence on your dog’s behavior.
You will receive a 40+ page booklet and free access to our mobile
app to make your independent practice with your pet easier and more
effective.
