WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9-DECEMBER 15, 2015
SEPD provides
tips on staying
safe this holiday
BY GIANNA DECARLO
[email protected]
At the monthly Southeastern District
Police Community Relations Council
Meeting, Major Garrity of the Southeastern
District provided safety tips for the holiday
season.
He said many criminals are opportunists
and will target a house based on what they
can see outside the house and inside through
the windows. For example, he said not to
leave boxes from opened presents inside or
near your trash can because it will signal to
the criminal that you have valuable items
inside.
“When you get that big-screen TV for
Christmas, don’t put the box in your backyard.
Cut it, put it in a bag, and throw it away
somewhere. The minute you put that box in
your yard, you’re telling everyone in the
neighborhood, any type of criminal, that you
have a brand new television in your home,”
said Garrity.
He also said that while they have been

It’s common knowledge you can get your
favorite pizza or burger delivered right to your
house, but what about satisfying a middle-ofthe-night-sweet-tooth craving?
Luckily for purveyors of pastries, Insomnia
Cookie, a bakery with late-night cookie
delivery, is coming to Fell’s Point.
The new location at 812 S. Broadway is
expected to open in the upcoming months.
They’re known for sweet treats like
macadamia nut, chocolate chunk, and
snickerdoodle cookies as well as brownies, ice
cream, and a combination of those called the
“Deluxe Cookiewich”.
Of course, the biggest perk is the delivery,
which will run from noon to 3 a.m. daily. They
will offer in-store pick-up from 11 a.m. until 3
a.m. as well.
Insomnia Cookies was founded by a
University of Pennsylvania student, because
what college student doesn’t like on-demand
desserts? After Insomnia’s success in
Pennsylvania, it has expanded to over 70
locations nationwide.
Insomnia Cookies currently have two
locations in Maryland. One is on the campus
of the University of Maryland, College Park
and the other is in Charles Village. A Federal
Hill store will be added along with the Fell’s
Point location.
So throw away the leftover Chinese food
and week-old pizza, there’s a new midnight
snack in Fell’s.

more using local and fresh ingredients.
The building has been undergoing many

construction of a wine bar and newly designed

811 S. Broadway at the former location of the
Tex-Mex restaurant, Willow, by the end of the
year.
The first Abbey Burger Bistro was opened
in Federal Hill and a second location was
opened in Ocean City this year.
Abbey Burger Bistro provides you with a
Build-A-Burger checklist which gives you
dozens of options to make your burger stand
out. First you have to choose the patty, which
can be made of anything from the typical
Angus beef to bison, duck, lamb, and even
kangaroo meat. Then you pick a bun, cheese,
toppings, and sides. The possibilities are so
endless that your burger will be like
snowflakes: no two are ever alike.
If burgers aren’t your thing, you can munch
on bun-less menu options like alligator bites,
fried pickles, and chili macaroni and cheese.

Falafelicious on 3721 Boston St. announced
it will close for the season. The shack that
served falafel-based dishes, kabobs, and
hummus closed for winter on Saturday,
December 5. They announced on their
Facebook page that they will reopen in the
spring. Falafelicious only has outdoor seating
for customers so the increasingly low
temperatures most likely had something to do
with the closure. The falafel joint opened in
the former location of Farmstead Shack this
summer. For updates on the reopening, www.

BALTIMORE GUIDE 3
Port of Baltimore snags thirty-year contract with major shipping company
This week, a deal was struck to keep jobs and deliveries in
the Port of Baltimore for at least thirty years.
Governor Larry Hogan announced a contract between the
Maryland Department of Transportation’s Maryland Port
Administration and the Norweigan-based global shipping and
logistics company Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL).
The contract ensured that WWL will continue serving and
delivering at the Port of Baltimore until 2045.
“Our entire administration is committed to making
Maryland more business-friendly, and today we add WWL to
our state’s growing list of business success stories,” said Hogan.
“This new contract, tying WWL’s success to that of the Port of
Baltimore for the next three decades, will support nearly 1,000
jobs here in Maryland and is a ringing endorsement of the
strength and importance of this partnership.”
Reportedly, the contract will also indirectly create another
1,500 jobs in addition to the initial 1,000 jobs.
The prior twenty-year contract still had WWL operating in
Baltimore until 2021, so it was just extended.
“Although this deal takes us through 2045, we will be
committed to Baltimore for far longer than the next 30 years,”
said Raymond Fitzgerald, the president of WWL’s Atlantic
Region. “Baltimore is WWL’s largest port of business in the
Americas, and a gateway to key markets in the U.S. and around
the globe. WWL-operated ships call Baltimore nearly 150
times each year to accommodate the needs of our customers—
some of the largest and top vehicle, heavy machinery and
RoRo shippers in the world.”
WWL primarily delivers roll on/roll off cargo which are
usually wheeled vehicles and heavy machinery used for
construction and farming.
This year, a reported record-high of 29 million tons of goods
and cargo have come through the state’s docks. The Port of
Baltimore handles and delivers more automobiles than any
other port in the country. Last year alone, over 792,000 cars
entered the Port of Baltimore.
“Business at the Port of Baltimore generates about 13,650
direct jobs, while about 127,600 jobs in Maryland are linked to
Port of baltimore | Photos by Julie M. Kichline
Port activities. The Port is responsible for nearly $3 billion in
personal wages and salary and more than $300 million in state
and local tax revenues,” states a press release from the Hogan
Administration.
Hogan said he hopes the contract will allow WWL to grow
and create more jobs that will benefit the city as a whole.
“You know it’s not a new company we’re bringing in, but
certainly when you get a commitment out of a company like
this that provides so many jobs for the next 30 years, it’s pretty
big news. Big news with a big impact on Maryland’s economy,
and one, which could keep paying off for decades to come,”
said Hogan.

Dan Sharkey and Mike Hoppy from Tree Me baltimore deliver
a Christmas tree to a happy resident. | Photo by Ashley Reynolds
Does the long, arduous, frustrating process
of putting up your Christmas tree have you
stumped? You can breathe a sigh of re-leaf
because a new service called Tree Me is
simplifying the process by delivering your
tree right to your door.
You can order your own Christmas tree
through Tree Me, who will pick it up and
bring it to you. All the festiveness, none of the
hassle.
“We see older people in Baltimore City and
I know, I have grandparents, and I know that
things like going out to get a tree are difficult
or impossible for them. I would hate for
somebody not to have a live tree if that’s what
they want,” said Mike Hoppy, Tree Me’s
founder and one of its owners.
Tree Me has its roots in Canton. Hoppy and
the other owners all live in the area and most
of their deliveries are within the nearby
neighborhoods.
Hoppy got the inspiration from Tree Me
after seeing all the delivery services that were
being created. He said he and his friends were
always using OrderUp and jokes that he
would host Sunday football parties without
ever having to go to the grocery store.
“We really live in a time where we get
everything delivered. You don’t have to even
leave your house and still be able to get
everything you need,” he said.
It was when he heard Christmas music on
the radio that the idea for Tree Me bloomed
into life.
He came home and spoke to his roommates
about the idea and they were instantly
supportive.
Together, they created their own website
and worked out the logistics in less than a
month.
“It happened pretty quickly. It just seemed
to flow,” he said. “We ran with it and it’s
really worked out for us.”
The trees are supplied by local tree farms
and are transported through the driver’s
trucks to anywhere in the city. You just enter
the size and type (Fraser, Douglas or Balsam
Fir) you want and Tree Me will provide, even
if they have to chop it down themselves.
“Our goal is if they want their tree to be a
certain way and this is what they really want,
then we’ll do it. It’s probably not the most
efficient thing money-wise for our business,
but we’ll do it for them because we want
everybody to experience a live perfect
Christmas tree. That’s our main objective.”
Tree Me also has extras that you can
purchase. You can have them set up the tree
for you and even have them haul it away when
the holiday season is over.
Hoppy said that as he created and adjusted
his business model, he thought about his own
grandparents and what he would do for them.
He enjoys seeing the excitement on his
customer’s faces when they see the delivery
arrive.
“I love it. We all love Christmas and we all
love spending Christmas here. It’s exciting for
us. Every time we get someone a tree, it’s like
we’re getting the tree for ourselves.”
Tree Me is taking orders until the weekend
before Christmas.

Amazon food delivery launches in Baltimore
BY GIANNA DECARLO [email protected]
Amazon has added food delivery to its mobile-based
services. On Thursday, December 3, Amazon announced the
start of an addition to their Prime Now plan which delivers
food from local restaurants to your door, with free delivery for
a limited time. The deliveries are guaranteed to arrive in 60
minutes or less. After the promotional period ends, customers
will be charged a $7.99 delivery fee.
“Baltimore’s vibrant mix of neighborhoods has created an
equally vibrant food scene. We’re excited to offer Amazon
Prime customers a fast and convenient way to enjoy some of
the city’s best restaurants without having to drive or take a
water taxi,” said Gus Lopez, the general manager of Amazon
Restaurants.
Over 50 restaurants in ten zones are currently a part of
Prime Now.
Some participating restaurants in the Southeast are
Falafelicious, Acropolis Restaurant, Cardinal Tavern,
Langermann’s, Verde Pizzeria, Sip & Bite, and The Laughing
Pint. The serviceable zip codes at the time of the app’s launch
are 21202, 21201, 21231, 21230, 21224, 21205, 21213, 21218,
21211, 21210.
“We study different cities, and we were excited about the
restaurant selection in Baltimore. From a qualitative and
quantitative assessment, there were a bunch of restaurants
people in Baltimore were very excited about,” said Lopez.
Amazon said they plan on adding more restaurants to the
roster and more zip codes to their delivery routes as interest
and demand increases. Delivery will be available for these
districts from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
This year, Amazon opened a fulfillment center on Broening
Highway which has made two-hour delivery of Amazon
orders possible for Baltimore residents. For Amazon, they said
adding food delivery was a natural stage in their progression
and presence in Baltimore City.
Users can download the Prime Now app to see if delivery
comes to their neighborhood, check out menus, place their
orders, and then track delivery. To utilize the app, you must be
a part of Amazon Prime, an express delivery service that costs
$99 a year.
After a successful trial period in Seattle this summer,
Amazon launched the food delivery in Los Angeles last
month. In other cities, Prime Now has started slowly, only
serving a few restaurants at its launch. Baltimore is different
and has an extensive roster right off the bat. Baltimore is the
first east coast city to get this treatment.
Prime Now will compete with a variety of other food
delivery services such as Order Up, Seamless, GrubHub, and
Galley Foods. Amazon said they hope their “transparent
prices” and lack of add-on fees will attract potential customers.
For more information or to download Prime Now, visit
www.amazon.com/primenow.
Amazon’s Prime Now mobile food delivery app
promises meals delivered in sixty minutes or less.

How middle-school students are
working to end climate change
by GIANNA
DECARLO
When you were in fifth grade, you probably
weren’t thinking about the negative impact of
fossil fuel dependency and climate change.
This is what sets the Audubon Green
Leaders of Hampstead Hill Academy apart
from other pre-teens. Green Leaders is a
program through the Patterson Park Audubon
Center that teaches children about their
environmental impact and gives them the
leadership skills they need to communicate
their ideas and find solutions.
“Green Leaders have the mission to
communicate climate change to their
community and do so in their own words. The
goal is to give them a background on climate
change through hands-on, exploratory, and
dynamic lessons,” explained Alexa White, the
program’s developer and coordinator.
There are fourteen 5th and 6th grade HHA
students enrolled in the program. White said
they all came in with a passion for nature and
a willingness to learn.
They engage in a variety of hands-on
lessons, such as tree-planting and birdwatching, in order to understand the
importance of protecting the natural world.
“We start with the basics, like what’s the
difference between weather and climate.
Climate change is complex. There’s a lot of
little pieces for middle-schoolers to digest. On
a larger scale, they see how this is a piece of
the puzzle and how it connects to their other
disciplines,” said Katherine Ralston, another
coordinator, and the group’s unofficial
videographer.

The students are in the eighth week of the
lessons and have amassed an impressive
amount of knowledge that they are willing to
share.
When asked to describe one thing that
they’ve learned in the program, the future
leaders quickly spoke up.
“We learned about greenhouse gasses
which are like carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, and two other gasses and then
when they go up into the atmosphere, the heat
rises all over the world,” said Jonathan Lee.
“This makes all the glaciers melt and
there’s more flooding and it’s making two
weather cycles,” added Joshua Schuler.
“The animals have to move to a different
place and the Baltimore Oriole, in 50 or 60
years, is going to leave Baltimore,” continued
Lee, who explained that birds are leaving due
to inconsistent temperatures and a lack of
protective habitats. The Green Leaders
recently planted a garden of native plants that
act as a food source for local bird species.
The next activity was an exercise about
teamwork and effective communication. Each
child was given a different “challenge” such as
being unable to speak or having to hop around
on one leg. They then all had to walk across
the hallway, with their handicaps, without
leaving anybody else behind. After some
initial bickering and chaos, the children
created a system that got them across the
finish line successfully, though not without a
fair share of giggles.
“It was like a little puzzle where you had to
get everyone in place,” said Esmeralda
Encinas.
White explained that as a leader you need
to learn how to compromise and work together
while making each member of the team feel
valuable.
“You might have to do things you’re not
comfortable with. If someone’s asking you to
do something that’s going to make it work,
you might have to put aside what you’re
feeling and make it happen,” she said to the
children. “As a leader, you need to express to
others the really good things they do
individually.”
When asked what makes a good leader,
Brianna Aguilar-Oyorzabal said you have to
be “loud.”

blooms. | Photo by Gianna DeCarlo
Lee said, “don’t say ‘um’ a lot’ and use your
hands to talk.” Shayla Chapple-Bell added
that you needed to “have courage”.
White and Ralston put such an emphasis on
leadership because the children will complete
the program with live presentations to various
community groups and associations. They
must be able to communicate what they’ve
learned and, hopefully, motivate their
neighbors to take action against climate
change. They will also produce an informative
video that will teach others how to create birdfriendly habitats and reduce their energy use.
They watched videos about the ongoing
climate change conferences in Paris and
dissected how each speaker gave an efficient
speech.
“That one had good eye contact,” said
Alicia Blackwell.
The students then engaged in an unprompted
conversation about the Californian drought.
Far from the stereotypes of pre-teens who can
only think about Justin Bieber and Minecraft,
they engaged each other in a deep discussion
about the importance of utilizing renewable
energy and the dangerously finite nature of
fossil fuels.
“They feel such a responsibility now,” said
White proudly.

Do you ever feel like your social life is
lacking? Or that your friend group could use
an upgrade? Or maybe you just want to meet
new people and learn more about your
neighborhood.
This is how Be More Canton, a social
group, was created. Be More Canton aims to
bring neighbors together to build a stronger
community, making it an all-around
friendlier place.
Be More Canton is the brainchild of
Matthew Glace, his wife Cynthia, and their
friend, Mike Engler.
“We have just recently moved to Canton
from London. When we moved back we
really were new and had never lived in the
city. We thought, ‘how great would it be to
get to know more about our neighbors and
the neighborhood?’” said Matthew.
He added that meeting people at bars is
difficult. They’re often crowded and the
music is too loud to start a conversation, he
explained.
“There were always these relaxed, social,
events going on in our neighborhood,” said
Matthew about his time in London. “We
didn’t feel like there was enough of that
going on in Baltimore and we wanted to do
something to fix that.”
Be More Canton hosts a myriad of social
events at local establishments where people
can meet each other and mingle without the
stress and noise of a busy nightclub. The
couple teamed up with Engler, a long-time
resident who knew the best places to host
these happy hours.
The first event was an Oktoberfest Happy
Hour. Matthew said it was amazing to meet
so many new people and watch as they got to
know each other as well.
He hopes that their group will progress
naturally through word-of-mouth and social
media. People of all ages and backgrounds
are welcome. He actually encourages longtime Baltimoreans to join since they can
spread their knowledge to the newbies, just
like how Engler helped the Glaces.
December’s event, which occurred last
weekend, focused on giving back to the
community. The members identified needy
families in the area and figured out the best
way to gather and distribute food and gifts
for them.
“We’re going to try to get people together
and find some needy families together that
we can put together a nice dinner for and get
some gifts for the kids and make it a happy
holiday. We want to try to help as many
families as we can,” said Matthew before the
event.
In the future, they plan on doing a
fundraising event for BARCS and other
charity-based efforts. They also hope to have
guest speakers from the community for
educational presentations, such as small
business owners.
“We want to help out our local businesses
by making the neighbors aware about them
and what they do,” said Matthew.
When asked if he and his wife had made
meaningful connections since starting Be
More Canton, Matthew said “Absolutely.”
He said he runs into people multiple times
and all over the city who recognize him from
the events.
“If we hadn’t had that personal introduction
in a smaller quieter environment at first, we
would’ve never gotten to know that person.
So we’re really lucky,” he said.

BIRDS HOUSE

The unacceptable problem of
domestic abuse in professional sports
All of my readers out there know that I am a
total stat nerd. I was a math major and have
also been a baseball fan since I can remember,
so stats are something I have always been
interested in.
One stat that is always impressive is 105.1
mph, the fastest pitch ever recorded in the
history of baseball. That pitch was thrown by
Aroldis Chapman in 2010, however that number
has become meaningless over the past few
hours as news broke of something else
Chapman did. According to a police report
obtained by Yahoo! Sports, Chapman fired
eight gunshots in the garage of his home in
Davie, Florida and was accused of choking his
girlfriend on October 30, 2015.
Speaking of stats, here are some others that
will blow your mind, and not in a good way:
According to the National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence (NCADV), every 9 seconds
in the US, a woman is assaulted or beaten .
1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men have been
victims of severe physical violence by an
intimate partner in their lifetime. On a typical
day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls
placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide.
Between 21-60% of victims of intimate partner
violence lose their jobs due to reasons stemming
from the abuse.
Sounds crazy, right? Well, it’s reality here in
America and all over the world. Care for some
additional stats courtesy of Alanna Vagianos of
the Huffington Post? In an article from
February 13, 2015, the number of American
troops killed in Afganistan and Iraq between
2001 and 2012 was 6,488. The number of
American women who were murdered by
current or ex-male partners during that same
time was 11,766.
Every minute, 20 people are victims of
intimate partner violence.
I’m not sorry for being a Debbie Downer
with this week’s article, but this is a topic that
needs to be discussed on a regular interval, and
not just when some dumb jock from the Dallas
Cowboys gets reinstated to the NFL after
abusing his then girlfriend (I’m looking at you,
Greg Hardy).
Is Hardy the only person to abuse a woman
in the NFL? Absolutely not. Sports fans in
Baltimore are very familiar with the story of
Ray Rice who was arrested in early 2014 for
punching his then fiancée (now wife) in an
elevator in Atlantic City and knocking her
unconscious. Rice was facing third-degree
aggravated assault charges which were dropped
after Rice agreed to undergo court-supervised
counseling. Rice was initially suspended for
two games by NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell, but only after seeing the videotape of
the incident did Goodell say he “didn’t get it
right”. You think? The Baltimore Ravens
eventually cut Rice from their team and he has
not played in the NFL since.
The NFL has done a terrible job of handling
these types of situations. Now, I am all for
second chances, but the punishments are not
reflective of the crimes. Why? Because the
NFL is a results-oriented league and thanks to
those results are a multi-billion dollar industry.
Let’s go back to the Greg Hardy incident.
Hardy is a 27 year old defensive end who
currently plays for the Cowboys. At 6’5” and
280 pounds, he is certainly a force to be
reckoned with on the football field. Hardy
started his career with the Carolina Panthers
where he played from 2010 until 2014 and was
named to the Pro Bowl in 2013. Hardy holds
Carolina’s single season sack record with 15
and also their single game sack record with
four.
Hardy was about to become a free agent
during the 2014 offseason, however after the
first game of the season Hardy was placed on
the commissioner’s exempt list while his
domestic case played out. As it turned out,
Hardy stayed on that exempt list for the entire
season yet still made his $13 million. The
Panthers would not re-sign him in March of
2015, and then shortly thereafter, the Cowboys
signed him to a one year deal worth $11.3
million. The following month, he was
suspended for the first 10 games of the season
without pay for violating the NFL Personal
Conduct Policy. But thanks to the player’s
union, that suspension was reduced to four
games.
What did Hardy do? Hardy was found guilty
by a judge and independent investigation by the
NFL for committing several acts of physical
violence against his then girlfriend. He also
threw her on a bed full of assault rifles, just in
case the physical violence wasn’t bad enough.
Since he has come back to play in the league,
he has done absolutely nothing to justify a
second chance. Here is a quick list of things he
has done or said since being reinstated:When
asked by a reporter if he was ready to ramp up
BALTIMORE GUIDE 13
to play, Hardy responded by saying he was
going to come out, “guns blazing”.
He was also asked about if he had any
remorse for his actions to which he answered,
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be here for my teammates.
You know, the worst feeling in the world is not
being there for someone you care about or
someone that needs you.” I guess girlfriends
don’t fall into that category, according to Hardy.
Right after that incident, Cowboys’ owner
Jerry Jones said about Hardy, “He’s of course
one of the real leaders on the team,” which begs
the question, “Who else is on that team?”
Hardy tweeted messages about being “guilty
until proven innocent” which is an interesting
strategy given that he was in fact proven guilty
at a 2014 bench trial. The only reason the
charge was expunged from his record was
because his girlfriend, Nicole Holder, was
unavailable for the jury trial, because Hardy
had allegedly paid her to keep quiet according
to the prosecutor. A claim that Hardy did not
refute.
As of the writing of this article, Hardy still is
playing in the NFL, making his base salary of
$573,529 per game. Hardy also makes a
$500,000 bonus if he gets eight sacks, and
another $1 million bonus if he gets 10 sacks.
Personally, I would give Jerry Jones a bonus if
he sacks Hardy completely and removes him
from the team.
Abusers like this need to be removed from
the sport. If you’ve watched an NFL game over
the past few weeks, you most likely have seen
their commercials where people receive
presents of NFL clothing for their favorite
team. The commercial ends with a quote that
reads, “Football is Family.” If they let people
like Hardy continue to play in the NFL, then I
have no idea what type of family they have over
there at the NFL.
What also makes the NFL look bad is that a
good majority of households watch
the Thanksgiving Day games while they spend
time with their family. The Dallas Cowboys
just so happen to be one of the teams that plays
each year on Thanksgiving, the other being the
Detroit Lions. Hey NFL, if you’re putting a
product on TV at a time when families are
giving thanks and spending time together,
maybe try to have a better product on the field
with less criminals.
The Cowboys and the NFL have a moral
obligation to do something about Hardy. Kids
everywhere watch the NFL and when they see
that this behavior is acceptable so long as you
do good things on the field, then that will only
further maintain this mindset.
Another example of this is Floyd Mayweather,
a professional boxer. According to Business
Insider, since 2002, Mayweather has plead
guilty to two incidents of domestic abuse and
was convicted in another but those charges
were dismissed four years later. Mayweather
also served 90 days in jail thanks to an incident
where he hit his ex-girlfriend in front of two of
their children at 5am. In case you think I don’t
have a stat for this, sadly, I do....
Worldwide, men who were exposed to
domestic violence as children are three to four
times more likely to perpetrate intimate partner
violence as adults than men who did not
experience domestic abuse as children.
Mayweather made $100 million for his fight
against Manny Pacquiao. Funny thing about
that fight, during the match the (arguably) best
player in baseball Mike Trout tweeted his
loyalty to Mayweather. When followers of
Trout responded to him by blasting him for
supporting a woman abuser, Trout said, “I just
root for him in the ring.” Torii Hunter, another
baseball player expressed the same
sentiments. None of us make any profit off of
these hooligans, at least not like the team’s
owners do, so who cares how good they are in
the ring or on the field? If they worked in an
office like the majority of us, they would most
likely get canned or seriously shunned at
work. Apparently Trout and Hunter feel
different.
While I don’t condone what Michael Vick
did to those dogs, I feel people were more upset
over that than what Mayweather, Hardy and
others do to women. Both crimes deserve
serious attention. That type of mindset is
troubling to say the least. We should not be
rooting for these people in any capacity, with
the only exception being for them to get real
help and stop abusing women.
While Roger Goodell completely whiffed at
getting things right in the NFL, MLB
Commissioner Rob Manfred has the spotlight
on him to get things right. Not only does he
have the pending issue and investigation with
Aroldis Chapman, there was another incident
involving Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose
Reyes where he was arrested on October 31,
2015 for assaulting his wife. His wife claimed
that they had an argument that turned physical
where Reyes allegedly grabbed her by the
throat and slammed her into a glass door,
giving her injuries to her neck, thigh and wrist.
Major League Baseball has a new domestic
violence policy which was introduced in
August.
That policy gives the MLB
Commissioner broad powers to discipline
players, even if they are not convicted, with no
minimum or maximum parameters on the
punishment. My hope is that if these players
did in fact commit these offenses, Manfred
comes down extremely hard on them.
Someone needs to stand up for doing the
right thing. Since the NFL seems to not care,
hopefully Major League Baseball, America’s
true pastime, will step up to the plate.
Oh, by the way, during the 10 minutes it took
you to read this article, another 67 women were
just beaten.

HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS: Community impact statements
decreasing, robberies still remain the most
common crime in the district and that even
small preventative measures can help.
Garrity encourages residents to shut their
blinds and make sure that doors and windows
are locked. He added that the majority of
robberies have occurred without any forced
entry. The suspects enter the location through
unlocked rear doors and windows.
“Make sure your houses are locked. If it’s
open, like unlocked windows, unlocked
doors, criminals don’t care. They see an
opportunity and they’re going to hop on it.
Don’t make it easy for them.”
Garrity said it was crucial to remain aware
and observant, especially when traveling late
at night after a party.
“You’re not drunk, just full of Christmas
cheer,” he joked.
Walk with a group and keep your eyes off
your cell phone, he explained.
“The biggest thing is to keep your eyes and
ears open.”
The other speaker at the meeting
was Michelle Lee, the State’s Attorney’s
community liaison for the Southeast district.
Lee spoke about the importance of
community impact statements, which are
testimonies from the community that are
considered during the sentencing of a criminal.
“It’s a brief summary about the harm or
trauma that anyone has suffered from as a
result of the crime,” explained Lee.
A community impact statements become
part of the criminal case file.
The statement shows that the criminal is
harmful to the overall community, not just the
victim, and can result in longer sentences and
harsher penalties.
“We have cases where, as a community,
you may know somebody who’s been
victimized and its great when you can come
together to rally around that victim to send in
an impact statement,” said Lee.
The statement is read during the sentencing
and the suspect must be found guilty before
the impact is considered.
As for those who submit a statement, they
don’t have to appear at court, but it is
encouraged.
“It’s not necessary, but it is encouraged
because it’s a good look. The judge will notice
that,” said Lee. “What I love about the
Southeast is that they actually show up for
court.”

impact statements, visit www.stattorney.com/
