First, Mosby spoke about a push to end the “stop snitching” mentality that is prevalent in the city which can prevent crimes from being solved. She said she is creating victim witness services within the community affairs division that would ensure the safety of those who come forward with knowledge of a crime. “We gotta do better by our victims and witnesses, provide the protection for them,” she said.

The free bus route accumulated a deficit of over 11 million dollar as of November of last year. “Funding for the CCC program was achieved by restructuring the City’s parking tax. While the CCC’s operating expenses have increased over the years, the revenue derived from the parking tax adjustment has remained stagnant. In addition, issues with the supplier of the initial CCC fleet have necessitated significant unforeseen and unfunded expenditures. Subsequently, the CCC is operating at a deficit and will be for the near future,” said the public notice. The Banner route, which traverses from downtown to Locust Point to Fort McHenry, will no longer run due to the federal grant funding running out after the Star-Spangled Centennial celebration. Many were upset over the announcement and sent a letter to Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake to try and save the Banner route. It contained 29 signatures, including those from Under Armour CFO Brad Dickerson, and the presidents of the Locust Point, Riverside, Key Highway Community Associations, and Rebecca Hoffberger, the director and founder of the American Visionary Arts Museum. “As residents, families, investors, and other stakeholders in South Baltimore, we are gravely concerned by the proposal to eliminate the Charm City Circulator’s Banner Rout. The Banner Route is crucial for connecting city residents and tourists to the Inner Harbor, South Baltimore businesses, sporting events, cultural attractions, and historic sites...”Its loss would have a profound impact on important quality of life factors for our residents, and stands in direct opposition to the stated goal of bringing 10,000 new families into Baltimore.” the letter read The new plan includes limiting the hours when the orange and green route will run. The revised hours are as follows: Monday-Thursday: 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Friday: 7:00 a.m. – 12:00 midnight Saturday: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 midnight Sunday: 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Despite the limited hours, the Circulator will have more stop at these two routes. The Orange routes will have new stops at Fayette Street at Poppleton Street, Fayette Street at Fremont Avenue, Fleet Street at Exeter Street, and Central Avenue at Bank Street. The new stops on the Green route are Fayette Street at Colvin Street, Fayette Street at Holliday Street, Fayette Street at St. Paul Street, Baltimore Street at Calvert Street, Fleet Street at Exeter Street, Fleet Street at Caroline Street, Fayette Street at Wolfe Street (eastbound), Washington Street at Jefferson Street, and Madison Street at Wolfe Street. The DOT is also increasing their Purple route stops to extend to Charles Village and 33rd street, with stops in Station North and the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University. The DOT believes these changes will save the program over 3 million dollars a year.

They will also hold public meeting throughout the month of July. To share your thoughts to the DOT, e-mail [email protected], using ‘CCC Proposed Changes July 2015’ in the subject line.

The offenders will go through a probationary period where they will learn job training and life skills and be given a job at the end of the program. Also, their felony charges would be wiped from their records. They must complete 150 hours of community service before entering the program and it will begin on July 7, she said. She then welcomed questions. Before the Q&A, the room was reminded that they could not ask questions about the Freddie Gray case. There were a few grumbles from the audience at this announcement. Still, they proceeded with the meeting, with questions pertaining to short-terms solutions to the city’s crime wave. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19 “ One product for all skin tones Waterproof color Use alone or as a base with cosmetics Mosby then spoke about the necessity of community liaisons that connect citizens with their police forces. She said that the city’s former States attorney, Gregg Bernstein, fired these liaisons during his term and that she re-implemented this program when she took office. It will be implemented on July 1st and will increase the number of liaisons per police districts. “The importance of that is not only are they the voice of the State’s Attorney office, but they are also the ears for the community to bring that back to the State’s Attorney because it’s not just about violent offenders, we also know it’s about quality of life. We have to break down these barriers of distrust.” The next program discussed was the Community Day at Court, a day when the courthouse will be open to the public to help them understand the criminal justice system. “The first time you enter a courtroom shouldn’t be when you have jury duty, you need to understand the intricacies of the criminal justice system,” said Mosby. The first meeting focused on sexual assault and the importance of DNA evidence in a case. The next Day at Court date is July 25th and will focus on felons reentering society and recidivism rates. Next was her office’s Aim to BMore program. Aim to BMore is partnered with the Center for Urban Families and the Thrive program and will focus on Baltimore City State’s Attorney, Marilyn Mosby, discusses crime at a Fells Prospect Community Association meeting. | Photo by Gianna DeCarlo BALTIMORE GUIDE 5 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 2015 2013 TONY AWARD ® “EVERYTHING YOU COULD DREAM OF IN A MUSICAL.” Daily News ON SALE NOW!

In Baltimore, crime is not new to us. We turn on the news and see it everywhere, violence taking hold, people being hurt, people acting out of anger and pain. But what is new is delving into this world and seeing how people can get tangled in a web they didn’t plan to weave. “You’re As Good As Dead” is the second novel of a trilogy by Ed Aymar, a sequel to his debut “I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead”. The novels explore the desperate lengths one man will go to survive after his plans for revenge go astray, even if it means betraying those around him. The reader follows Tom Starks, a professor at a community college who is sucked into the labyrinth of the criminal underground following the murder of his wife. He believes he left the events of the first novel in the past and yearns to return to normalcy. However, Starks is thrown back into this dangerous world after he witnesses the murder of highly-ranked crime boss. He is used by the FBI as an informant to the crime all while a murderer know as the Judge, and his pack of ruthless killers, reek havoc across Baltimore “You’re As Good As Dead” asks the question: “What do you do when you’re caught between warring crime families and ruthless federal agents?” Starks must quadruple-cross and think a dozen steps ahead of his enemies if he is to stay alive during this predicament. The “Dead Trilogy” has garnered praise from critics who laud Aymar on his unexpected plot twists and emotionally complex characters. Many of these emotional moments are seen through the eyes of Starks in a familiar location. Aymar said that in both his books, Starks has an epiphany, a moment of clarity, in Patterson Park, which marks the turning point of the plot. This a testament to Aymar’s overall respect for Baltimore which is sprinkled throughout the story. For example, Starks himself is a hometown boy. He was born in Dundalk, lives in Federal Hill, and has roots in Highlandtown. For Aymar, setting the adventures in Baltimore was obvious. “Baltimore was the automatic setting. I never even thought twice about it,” he said. Aymar lives in Washington D.C. but has always had a fascination with Baltimore. He was born in a military family so he never had a permanent place he could call home, but found immense inspiration in Baltimore during his visits. “I kind of fell in love with Baltimore,” he said, joking that Fell’s Point was a great place to take people on dates. “It just made a perfect setting for a great match. There’s loneliness but a real warmth. I look at Baltimore as this little city that’s big enough to have tons of voices.” This book is a bit of a departure stylistically, Aymar said, a change he called “cool, but scary.” He said that as a writer you have to challenge yourself and break out of what you’re used to doing. He said that if he feels himself getting bored with his writing, then his readers would be even more bored. “It was a bit different because the first book was all from one’s characters perspective and he was talking in past-tense and had a traditional way of looking at the world. With this one, I felt sort of free to write something a little different, with different perspectives and points of view and I tried to make a point of surprising myself. It was cool to a have moment and you’re like ‘wow, I can’t believe that character did this, and then you’re like, ‘oh, I wrote it.’” He described Baltimore as having a “gothic sense of romanticism” which fits with Starks’ lamentations over his lost wife. Starks’ emotional depth is what propels the story, said Aymar. While his novels feature the common tropes of the crime/thriller genre, he believes its important to develop characters that the audience can see themselves in. We relate to Starks and in that, get at least some understanding into the minds of criminals and what pushes them to such acts. “You’re as Good as Dead” was released by Black Opal Books on Saturday, June 13 and is available through all major online retailers and regional bookstores.

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. 12 BALTIMORE GUIDE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 2015 Choosing poor-quality vinyl windows is a mistake. 2X STRONGER Our Fibrex® material is THAN VINYL* Choosing the proper window material is everything.

But none of those books were as probably as late at Michele Wojciechowski’s copy of Frankenstein which she checked out in 1981 from the Highlandtown Library. After 34 years, the book was returned to the Enoch Pratt Southeast Anchor Library. “I completely panicked and freaked out,” she said. She found the book while cleaning her childhood home in Brewer’s Hill. After doing the math, she figured out her overdue fine would’ve been around $2500, the cost of 8000 bags of potato chip bags, she adds. Luckily, the library caps fines at $6 for adults. Wojciechowski herself is a writer and credits her love of reading for helping her find her passion She donated 50 copies of her humor book, “Next Time I Move, They’ll Carry Me Out in a Box” to the library. “I was raised Catholic so I feel guilty about the whole thing,” she said with a laugh.

I say baseball fans because there was quite a mix of Oriole and Yankee fans. While I don’t mind fans of the opposing team coming to Camden Yards (let’s be honest, it’s one of the best stadiums in all of baseball, if not the best), I do get a little concerned when the opposing team scores and if you were not watching the game, you would think the Orioles had scored, which was what happened all Saturday night. To make matters worse, when the Yankees scored their first run in the top of the first inning, that run was courtesy of a Mark Teixeira single that drove in Chase Headley. The very next batter was Brian McCann who doubled to drive in Teixeira for the second run. A quick history lesson…. If you know the Orioles and Baltimore, you know about Mark Teixeira. Teixeira is a Maryland native who was born in Annapolis and went to Mount St. Joseph’s High School in Baltimore. When Teixeira was a free agent before the 2009 season, the Orioles were a potential suitor, mostly because the Orioles would be his home team that he grew up rooting for as a kid. Instead of coming to Baltimore, he joined the hated Yankees where he signed an eight year deal worth $180 million. Sure, Peter Angelos wasn’t going to pony up that kind of dough, but it would have been nice to see a Maryland native come play for his home team. Anyway…now back to the game…. When Headley scored on Teixeira’s single and when Teixeira scored on McCann’s double, the crowd was cheering very loudly. Honestly, that bugged me a bit. I could MAYBE understand if this was 6 years ago when the O’s were terrible, but these are the reigning 2014 AL East Champion Baltimore Orioles who just swept the Boston Red Sox and took the first game of the New York series and are right in the thick of the AL East race again this year. There should be a stronger Baltimore presence. Luckily, things turned around a bit in the bottom of the third inning when Nolan Reimold hit a two-run homer to tie the game, there was a definite pro-Baltimore roar which only got louder in the bottom of the fifth inning when Manny Machado hit a two-run shot of his own to put the O’s up by two. Unfortunately, in the top of the sixth inning history was made, and not very good history as Alex Rodriguez hit a two-run homer to tie the game which set off another loud Yankee cheer. The fact that anyone cheers for A-Rod at all makes me throw up in my mouth a little, but here in Baltimore? The worst. Granted his home run gave him 2,000 runs batted in for his career, becoming only the second player in MLB history to do so (along with Hank Aaron), but this is A-Rod we’re talking about here. If he did that in New York, maybe I’d be ok with the fans cheering then, but in Baltimore? Brutal. Thank goodness the bottom half of the sixth inning changed things for good. J.J. Hardy drove in Matt Wieters before Machado drove in Hardy and Ryan Flaherty to put the O’s up for good, and the crowd definitely let everyone know that. Baltimore would get two more runs in the seventh thanks to a David Lough solo shot and a Steve Pearce double which would end the scoring at 9 to 4 which gave us O’s fans more reason to cheer. With that being said, the O’s fans definitely outnumbered the New York fans, but it was pretty darn close, or at least closer than it should have been. It is pretty upsetting to have a team that is a good team being almost outnumbered by the opposing team’s fans. Those types of things are usually reserved for the Miami Marlins as their fans are constantly outnumbered by opposing team’s fans. The only thing is that they are terrible. So this letter goes out to all of the Orioles’ fans. Let’s keep those New York and Boston fans out of our stadium. Let’s make sure we all show up and support our O’s and make them feel like the reigning AL East champs that they are. Let’s support them as they fight for yet another playoff appearance which right now has them sitting three games back of first place. Get out there and support your O’s!
