FAST principal
addresses public;
residents react
letters to santa
by ERIK ZYGMONT
[email protected]
At a meeting of the Canton Community
Association last week, James Sargent,
principal of Friendship Academy of Science
and Technology since the beginning of this
school year, summed up the future of the
troubled relationship between the school and
the surrounding neighborhood.
“The bottom line is that we are not going
anywhere anytime soon,” he told assembled
community members. “We can either walk
down the lane holding each other by the
throat, or we can walk down the lane holding
each other by the hand.”

Annoyed residents who have a beef with
Baltimore bars or liquor establishments now
have a way to complain more conveniently—
and publicly—via a new option on the City’s
311 smart phone app.
“The 311 mobile app’s “Liquor and Adult
Entertainment Complaint” button had its beta
release last week,” said Qist Ka’bah, the
Board of Liquor License Commissioners’ 311
call center supervisor and police liaison.

Man shot in Travel Plaza nightclub
by ERIK ZYGMONT
[email protected]
Following a non-fatal shooting at the end of
the weekend, Baltimore Police hope to close a
nightclub that they say is known for both
violence and underage drinking.
Police spokesman Lieut. Eric Kowalczyk
said that early Monday morning at 1:44 a.m.,
officers outside of Voltage NightClub, 5625
O’Donnell St., heard what sounded like
gunfire inside the club, and then observed a
large crowd exiting the building.
“They went and found the victim exiting
the club with a gunshot wound to the back,”
said Kowalczyk, adding that the victim is in
stable condition.
At Monday evening’s Police Community
Relations meeting at the Southeastern District,
Major William Davis said that the incident
was the third involving gun violence in the
last two months. He said that while the other
two incidents happened in or near the parking
lot, Monday’s incident was “inside, right on
the dance floor.“
“We’re going to be working on what we can
do to close the club, because it has certainly
been a source of violence in our community,”
Davis said.
“Lieut. Colburn has compiled a book, that
thick,” Davis added, indicating about two
inches between his thumb and index finger, “
of what we consider liquor violations.”
Some of those violations, the major added,
have been incidents in which drinks were
served to minors. An event on the club’s
website Tuesday was listed as “18 to Dance,
21 to Drink.”
Our Opinion and Yours
Who wants the Red Line?
To the Editor:
Did I miss something? I went to a meeting
of a group called the “Citizen’s Advisory
Council” on the Red Line on Thursday,
Nov. 14, at 7:00 pm., at 417 E. Fayette St. I
was hoping to hear something relevant to
my concerns which involve the ridiculously
wrong-headed Boston St. debacle that is
being ramrodded through my beautiful,
stable neighborhood of Canton—one of the
few city neighborhoods where you still see
intact family units and (believe it or not)
children.
Instead, this meeting was run by two
impeccably groomed and tailored gentlemen
who apparently are charged with designing
and packaging specific contracts to be sent
out to bid. They want to make sure that this
enormous bundle of taxpayer money is
divvied up among the “right people.” Quite
obviously, they, themselves are being very
amply compensated from the bundle for
their part in this.
The rules that this “Council” created specify
that “questions must be related to the
presentation. Comments of a general nature,
expressions of support or opposition to the
project, or questions that are unrelated to the
presentation are not permitted.” Oddly enough, the presentations I’ve
attended have never addressed the main
issue of who in East Baltimore really wants
this thing? Granted, I’ve only been to two of
these forums (the one on Fayette Street and
the one at the Du Burns Arena), but
community input regarding citizen approval
of the Red Line does not seem to have been
addressed. Can someone please enlighten
me as to whether or not that particular topic
has ever been discussed? This Red Line crowd is going full-steam
ahead. Taxpayer money (a lot of it) is being
spent way beyond the rate which we citizens
earn it. Shouldn’t the taxpayers be asked if
they want this thing?
Cathy Thornton, Canton
Touched by the kindness
of Latinos
To the Editor:
As I was leaving Sacred Heart of Jesus
Church on Saturday night, a young Hispanic
offered to help me.
I have been a visibly handicapped man for
10 years, and I notice the Hispanic people
are more likely to lend such a hand.
As we count our blessings this Thanksgiving,
we may with to think about this.

FAST: Bus arrivals problematic, says principal
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Later the month, the New and Charter
School Advisory Board of Baltimore City
Schools advised that FAST’s operator contract
be renewed for three more years, and the
school be relocated after that.
Sargent and his administration team
attended the meeting following an escalation
in tension between FAST students—most of
whom come from outside the neighborhood—
and nearby residents. In October, FAST
students assaulted a staff member from
another school, Patterson Park Public Charter
School, in a mid-day incident in Patterson
Park. Residents living nearby the school have
complained about graffiti, property
destruction, and general disrespect from
FAST students
At last week’s meeting, Sargent said that
the two students arrested after the Patterson
Park incident will likely not return to FAST.
He said that he was attending the meeting
to update the community on what the school
was doing to improve its 650 students’
behavior outside of the school.
“Tonight what I’m bringing to the table
is solutions,” Sargent said. “Supervision
is key.”
To that end, he said that administrators are
now monitoring students as they walk to bus
stops. Administrators, he said, supervise
students as they walk along Baylis St. up to
Foster Ave., as well as along Conkling St. as
far as Eastern Ave. Students are also
supervised at the intersection of East Ave. and
O’Donnell St., he said. A Guide staff member
has witnessed Sargent himself at Foster Ave.
and Conkling St. as students left school to
catch buses.
Sargent noted that with a school dismissal
time of 2:40 p.m., 3 p.m. and 3:15 bus arrivals,
as well as late and no-show buses, present a
problem.
“Any child with idle time—in 30 minutes,
anything can happen,” he said.
In November, Sargent wrote a letter to the
Maryland Transportation Authority, stating
that “the bus arrival time has been mainly
inconsistent since the first day of school and
on some days there were no buses at all.”
Furthermore, he wrote, the number 13 bus
that actually stops at FAST for students living
near Walbrook Junction does not actually go
to Walbrook Junction, and so those students
either walk to O’Donnell St. and East Ave. to
catch a different number 13 bus or make a
transfer and end up home late.
In a response to Sargent, Veronica McBeth
of the MTA stated that, with regard to the
number 13 issue, “any time the MTA extends
an Operator’s run by over 10 minutes, we’re
violating our agreement with Local 1300, and
the affected Operator has the right to bumpout of the run, which may in turn result in a
bump down.”
She added that, assuming management
approves a change to service, “the earliest we
may be able to extend this service as suggested
will be during the next schedule change.”
Inside the school, Sargent said, a swipecard attendance verification system will be
adopted to combat truancy.
It’s not a really
conducive building
for a high
school setting.
He added that the school is offering
academic and recreational activities such as a
robotics team and “circle times” on Mondays
and Fridays, “just to check in, check out and
build better relationships with our students.”
Sargent also opened the floor to questions
from residents.
One resident noted that a group of 10 or so
students is often seen outside the school at
1:45 p.m. Sargent noted that seniors have a
special dismissal time of 1:45 p.m. Residents,
he said, can ascertain the age of students by
the color shirts they are wearing. Students in
grades 6-9 wear blue shirts; freshman and
sophomores wear gray shirts; juniors wear
yellow; seniors wear white.
Asked if he likes the current location of
FAST and wants to stay there, Sargent did not
reply in the affirmative.
“It’s not a really conducive building for a
high school setting,” he said. “There’s no
football field and no track.”
The strongest community criticism of
FAST came from Roland Moskal, who lives
on the 3400 block of Fait Ave., a stone’s
throw from the school.
“It’s absolute chaos,” said Moskal, a former
Baltimore public school teacher, adding that
he has seen a female student nearly undress
herself.
During a fire drill, Moskal said, students
came and sat on his stoop with cafeteria trays
of food, which they left when the drill
ended.
Sargent responded that “there are always
two sides to every story,” and that the school’s
goal is “helping the students self-correct
themselves.”
“We’re not always there to command and
direct them; that doesn’t work,” he said.

Officer honored for devotion to Fell’s Point area
Officer Larry Fasano—who, with his bicycle, is a fixture around
Fell’s Point—was named the “Officer of the Month” at Monday
evening’s Southeastern District Police Community Relations
Council meeting.
“You talk about the employees who are there for you every single
day,” said Major William Davis, “he’s also the guy who if you’re
committing crimes out in his area, you don’t want him out there.”
“We wanted to recognize him, at least for one month, for all he’s
done,” the major added.
“I love the area I’m in,” said Fasano. “I give it 100 percent.”
Fasano came to the Southeastern District in 1998, from the
Northwestern District. Back then, he said, Davis was his sargent.
“We had a great time,” said Fasano. “He was a go-getter back
Officer Larry Fasano,
a familiar face in Fell’s then, and he’s still a go-getter.”
Davis noted that all the Fell’s Point business owner’s know the
Point.
name “Larry Fasano.”

stories by Erik Zygmont
“If you ask any of the drunks, they’ll probably give you a different
expletive,” Fasano said.
Young explains criticisms of study, touts foot patrols
City Council President Jack Young, who
spoke at the Southeastern District Police
Community Relations Council meeting on
Monday evening, explained his recent
comments regarding a consultant’s $285,000
strategic plan for the Baltimore Police
Department.
Young has publicly criticized the plan,
which he voted to fund.
“I don’t question the commissioner’s using
$285,000 that I voted for,” Young said. “I
voted for it because I thought we would get
something different.”
He made the remarks within the context that
the City Council is currently reviewing the
city’s budget.
“I thought the $285,000 went to waste,”
he said.
The report was conducted by Strategic
Policy Partnership, led by Robert Wasserman,
City Council President Jack Young addresses
the Police Community Relations Council.
and the Bratton Group, led by William Bratton,
who is a former chief of the LAPD as well as
commissioner of the Boston Police Department
and New York City Police Department.
In a statement released last month, Mayor
Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said that the
strategic plan “provides us with a thoughtful
set of recommendations for how to more
effectively move forward and meet the current
challenges we face in the fight against crime.”
The plan, “Public Safety in the City of
Baltimore: A Strategic Plan for Improvement,”
is available at baltimorepolice.org.
Young went on to say that though he holds
no personal animosity toward Commissioner
Anthony Batts, he would have preferred to
“promote from within.” Before coming to
Baltimore, Batts was police chief in Long
Beach, Ca., and Oakland, Ca. After leaving
the Oakland Police Department in November
2011, he worked as CEO of the A. William
White Group, a police consulting firm.
Young also thanked the residents in
attendance at the meeting “for being the eyes
and ears of the Police Department” and
reporting crime.
“I want you to be cognizant of the fact that
the police need you,” he said.
Young said that he was criticizing the
leadership of the Police Department, not the
officers.
“Let’s give our officers some praise where
it’s deserved,” he said.
He added that he is pushing for more foot
patrol, and to “bring Officer Friendly back.”
“They learn who the good guys are and
who the bad guys are,” Young said. “I want
Officer Friendly back so our kids can see
Officer Friendly again, because right now
they see ‘them against us,’ and it shouldn’t be
like that.”

Highlandtown festivities roll in with Train Garden
The Highlandtown Train Garden, an elaborate model train including
local landmarks, had its dry run last weekend.
“We had a pretty good crowd,” said Joe Manfre, coordinator of the
Train Garden, which is located at the fire station at 520 S. Conkling
St. “We had 159 people, to be exact.”
This weekend, the garden opens officially at 6:30 p.m. on Friday,
Dec. 6. From there, it is open Saturdays and Sundays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
From Dec. 21 through Jan. 1, the garden is open every day, with the
exception of Christmas Day.
The Train Garden opening is just one of many holiday events
occurring in Highlandtown this weekend. The festivities kick off on
Friday Dec. 7, at the corner of Conkling St. and Eastern Ave., with a
performance by Sac Au Lait at 5 p.m. The Highlandtown holiday
tree will be lit at 6 p.m., and the “Merry Mixer”—an evening of
Christmas shopping with adult beverages in the Highlandtown Main
Street area—begins at 7 p.m. A family movie will also be shown at
the Southeast Anchor Library at 7 p.m.
On Saturday, Dec. 7, there are three holiday craft shows.
Baltimore Threadquarters, 518 S. Conkling St., will hold a
trunk show from noon-5 p.m. From 10 a.m.-6 p.m., a new
venue at 3402 Gough St. will hold a Holiday Market Party
with high-end arts and crafts. The Laughing Pint, 3531
Gough St., is holding an evening trunk show from 5-9 p.m.
More information on Highlandtown festivities is available at
southeastcdc.org.

Ambitious gallery plans to start with
holiday market this weekend
by ERIK ZYGMONT
[email protected]
Highlandtown’s status as an arts district
seems to grow more apparent all the time.
The lastest evidence is Tom and Julie
Yensho’s new building at 3402 Gough St.
“This will be a gallery,” said Yensho on
Monday, spreading her arms in the 6,000square-foot, two-story building that once
housed a Plymouth car dealership and, after
that, an Italian club. “I have not decided on a
name yet.”
But she does have a clear picture of the
gallery.
“I want it to be for the young, up-andcoming artists who are out there looking for a
place to display their work,” she said, adding
that she is not seeking high commissions.
“And we have the space—and the venue—to
have openings.”
Yensho is an artist herself who specializes
in floor cloths—or painted rugs—as well as
ceramics and more traditional painting. She
said that she and her husband, who is a
woodworker, did not necessarily have a lifelong
dream of opening a gallery. The couple simply
saw an opportunity in the for-sale property
while out walking their two Dachsunds. They
live nearby, on Bouldin St.
“I felt like I had a responsibility, with this
building, to give back to the community,”
Yensho said.
While the gallery won’t fully open for about
6 months, she and Lisa Dietrich are hosting a
Holiday Market Party this Saturday, Dec. 7, 10
a.m.-6 p.m., in the space. In addition to the
works of over 25 artists and crafters, the
market will feature food, drink, music and fire
pits on the back deck as well. It’s a fund-raiser
for the Highlandtown Arts District, a
destination for a good time, and a place to buy
presents, Yensho said.
And she added that the market—and later
the gallery—will include high quality crafts as
well as what is traditionally considered art.
“I want it to attract crafters, because I think
they get a bad rap,” Yensho said.
Saturday’s Holiday Market Party will
include high-end holiday wreaths from Full
Circle wreaths, Yensho said. A traditional
basket weaver, Kathleen Beauchesne, will be
in attendance as well. Lucy Pealer will offer
handmade birdhouses, and metal turner Sean
O’Harra will have mirror-polished brass bowls
and other goods. Also included are painter
Giuseppe Luciani, metal sculptor Renee
Tantillo, and many more artists and high-end
crafters.
“It’s going to be awesome,” said Yensho.
After the Holiday Market Party, Yensho and
her husband will continue to prepare the
gallery for opening. The building also includes
two upstairs apartment units, a one-bedroom
and a two-bedroom, which Yensho said will
house artists-in-residence. Tom Yensho will
have a wood-turning workshop in the space,
and Julie Yensho will also have her studio in
what was once a serious kitchen.
A former pastry chef, she said she was
disappointed that the lodge owners had sold
off the stainless steel tables and 16 burners.
“I was really bummed,” she said.
The building also has a bar from its days as
an Italian lodge. Yensho has decorated it with
vintage beer signs and liquor bottles from her
husband’s family farm in Ohio. Tom Yensho
made his way to Baltimore 30 years ago with
his brother. They were wooden toy makers.
Julie Yensho sees the growing list of galleries
in Highlandtown as an asset.
“I think that we are becoming a corridor,”
she said, adding that the accessible nature of
hers and other nearby galleries—the
Highlandtown Gallery and Threadquarters,
for example—could make the place a prime
destination for decorators seeking, well,
decorations, in the form of high-quality arts
and crafts.
“It’s attainable,” Yensho added. “It’s where
people can go and find art that they can
afford.”

Tuesday’s O’Donnell Square Lamp
Post Lighting could be biggest yet
by Erik Zygmont
[email protected]
The best Christmas and holiday events start
small and grow every year, taking on a life of
their own.
O’Donnell Square’s Lamp Post Lighting
Ceremony is no exception.
“It’s the sixth year we’ve done this,” says
Torbin Green of Smalltimore Events. “It gets
bigger every year.”
The idea is simple. Businesses in the
O’Donnell Square area adopt lamp posts to
decorate for the season. On Tuesday, Dec. 10,
the posts are lit, and residents, businesses and
the community at large choose the most
impressive entry.
“It’s bragging rights, and it’s always a big
deal,” says Green.
Last year, the bar Americana was the
winner, and though the pub is no longer in
existence, Green says that their entry remains
a standard to which to aspire.
This year’s event runs from 5-9 p.m. and
includes a 6 p.m. visit by Santa Claus himself,
plus other children’s surprises. Attendees may
vote on their favorite lamps while having free
hot chocolate and coffee, courtesy of Firehouse
Coffee Company. Also available are adult
holiday beverages such as champagne, Irish
coffee, eggnog and hot cider.
The Adeline Singers will be caroling to
enhance the mood, and Tim Konig and
Baltimore Photo Social Booth will perform
the National Anthem.
According to Green, this year’s celebration
will be extra special thanks to live music from
Lotus Song & The Black Light Asylum, a
blues, soul and funk quartet.
“They performed at a festival I did in
Reservoir Hill, and they killed,” says Green.
“It was amazing.”
The Lamp Post Lighting includes a raffle in
which the first prize winner gets a $50 gift
certificate every month for a year. Second
place gets the same package for 6 months;
third prize is a spa package from Insignia.
Proceeds benefit the Believe in Tomorrow
Children’s Foundation, a local charity that
provides hospital and respite housing services
to critically ill children and their families.
“I have a feeling this year is going to be
really big,” says Green.
Are you over 60 and feeling depressed
or having memory problems?
Depression and memory problems in older adults are common and are often
undetected.

Raven James Ihedigbo talks giving back
– to Baltimore and his native Africa
by ERIK ZYGMONT
[email protected]
Baltimore Raven James Ihedigbo is known
for his imposing presence on the football field.
Like many of Baltimore’s professional athletes,
Ihedigbo is also interested in philanthropy.
His chosen cause is Africa, from which his
parents emigrated.
Igedigbo’s HOPE Africa Foundation
provides scholarships for students of African
descent to attend elite American universities.
According to HOPE Africa’s website,
hopeafricausa.org, those students participate
in service projects and community engagement
endeavors while in the U.S. Then, armed with
university educations and a cultivated desire
to spread their success to those around them,
they have the tools to return to their home
countries and create “new and sustainable
resources in the areas of education, health,
medicine, human services, community
structure, business or the environment.”
Next Monday, Dec. 10, Ihedigbo is hosting
a fund-raiser, a “Celebrity Cruise and Charity
Night” at the Inner Harbor. The cruise boards
from 7-8 p.m. at Spirit Cruises, 561 Light St.
Ticket proceeds--$75 in advance, $100 dayof—go to HOPE Africa. Tickets include
dinner, open bar, $500 in casino money, and a
chance to spend the evening with Ravens
players including Ray Rice, Jimmy Smith,
Ladarius Webb, Chris Canty, Terrell Suggs,
Corey Graham, Art Jones, Chykie Brown,
Jameel McClain and many more. Local
celebs and other prominent local figures will
also be in attendance. For more information
and tickets, visit hopeafricausa.org.
In the meantime, Ihedigbo has answered a
few questions from the Guide about the
cruise, the foundation and football:
What made you choose a casino
cruise for this fund-raiser?
I wanted to do something fun and interactive
for the fans and supporters. I did a “Dinner
with the Ravens” fund-raiser last year at a
restaurant venue and it was completely sold
out at capacity, that we couldn’t let more
people in as people were showing up to buy
tickets at the door--so this year, we wanted to
make sure we created a more interactive and
social environment with a Baltimore flair and
of course much more space. When my team
and I thought of doing a cruise and casino
event, the first thing that came to mind was
Spirit Cruises of Baltimore, and of course,
they were on board 100 percent, so we

BIRDS HOUSE
by Andy
Mindzak
Moose belongs in the Hall
of Fame - Put him there!
The 2014 Major League Baseball Hall of
Fame ballot was recently made public, and if
you saw it, you particularly noticed one
player: Paul Lo Duca.
Ok, so I’m just kidding; nobody is going
to notice a catcher who had a few decent
years and finished his career with barely
over 1,000 hits. If you did see that ballot,
though, then you should have noticed the
name of one Michael Cole Mussina. I would
like—nay, love—to go on the record and say
Moose should be a first ballot Hall of
Famer.
(If you’re a diehard Orioles fan, you’re
probably good with my opening paragraph
and will agree that he should be in the HOF.
If not, however, please keep reading. Actually,
even if you take me at my word, you might
want to keep reading.)
Mike Mussina finished his brilliant
18-year career with a record of 270-153 to go
along with his ERA of 3.68 and WHIP of
1.192. He once led the league in wins with
19 back in 1995 and reached 20 wins in
2008, his last season in the majors. His four
shutouts in 1995 were a league best that year.
Perhaps his best season came in 1991, when
he went 18-5 with a 2.54 ERA.
Moose was named to five All Star teams
and won seven Gold Gloves. During the
1999 season Moose finished second in the
AL Cy Young award voting (behind Pedro
Martinez) after going 18-7 with a 3.50 ERA.
During his 18-year career, Moose spent 10
with the Orioles and his final eight with the
New York Yankees.
Mussina was also consistent in the playoffs, although his record might not show it.
Moose went 7-8 with a 3.42 ERA in 16 playoff series, with 1997 being his best showing.
That season, Mussina went 2-0 against the
Seattle Mariners in the ALDS, as he gave up
only three earned runs in 14 innings pitched
(1.93 ERA). Then, in the ALCS where
Baltimore lost to Cleveland, Mussina did not
get a decision in either of his starts despite
allowing only one run in 15 innings as the
O’s fell in six games.
His numbers are pretty darn awesome,
especially when you factor in the era in
which he played. Other first-time names on
this ballot include Greg Maddux (should be
a no-brainer) and Tom Glavine. (Glavine
will most likely get in, but I would put
Moose ahead of him. Three hundred wins
are overrated!) Those guys will most likely
get in on the first ballot, but there is one
name on the ballot that will be on for his
final year and he already has 67.7% of the
necessary 75% votes: Jack Morris.
Morris will certainly get some sympathy
votes because it is his last year on the ballot,
but if you look at his numbers, if Mussina
finishes anything below 67.7%, that would
be a crime. Personally, I feel Morris is an
‘on-the-fence’ Hall of Famer.
Morris had a career record of 254-186
with a 3.90 ERA. Ok, so that’s not a good
start for ol’ Jack, especially when you see his
WHIP was 1.296—also worse than
Moose’s.
Morris was also named to five All Star
squads and led the league in wins twice,
once in 1981 with 14 wins, and in 1992 with
21. Ok, so he has Moose beat there, but during his 18-year career, not once did he keep
his ERA under 3. Moose only did that for
one full season, but when you consider the
time they played, Moose played in a much
more hitter-friendly period.
The biggest selling point for Morris is his
playoffs performance. I will give him credit—he was amazing to watch in game seven
of the 1991 World Series as he out-dueled
John Smoltz to throw a complete game shutout, but overall, Jack Morris was 7-4 with a
3.80 ERA in seven playoff series. That
doesn’t impress me much. I feel that many of
his supporters point to his playoff “dominance,” but in reality, his career is based on
those three games he started in the1991
World Series, with game seven being his
main selling point.
Other names on the list which will get
serious HOF consideration are Craig Biggio,
Mike Piazza, Jeff Bagwell, Frank Thomas,
and Jeff Kent, but voters better not leave
Mike Mussina off their ballot.

and held a TBI Awareness and Prevention
Picnic at the Community College of Balitmore
County Dundalk Campus.
In October, he held a TBI Awareness and
Prevention meeting at the same location. The
event brought Baltimore County and state
officials including Barry Williams, director
of Baltimore Country Recreation and Parks,
as well as representatives from the Baltimore
County Executive Kevin Kamenetz’s and
State Senator Norman Stone’s offices.
Joe Hairston, former superintendent of
Baltimore County Public Schools, also
attended.
“He came because he suffered a traumatic
brain injury when he was 17,” says Collier.
“He fully understands just how easily this
can happen to anyone.”
Collier says that Hairston was hit in a 1965
football game.
“They told him he had 20 minutes to live,”
he says.
Hairston survived, but a young Marine
who had just been hit in the head with a
basketball, and was at the same hospital with
the same injury at the same time, did not.
“Joe said he still feels a few things from
that injury,” says Collier. “It changed his
life.”
In addition to more widespread use of
helmets, Collier is an advocate for baseline
testing—a test that establishes an athlete’s
cognitive levels prior to an injury. With that
information, he says, doctors can better
understand where an athlete’s cognition
levels should be following a trauma.
For more information on Collier and
traumatic brain injuries, find him on YouTube
as DundalkTV, or on Facebook, facebook.

Holiday
Remembrances
Holiday get-togethers can be difficult affairs for some, particularly in the first year
after the loss of a loved one. The conspicuous absence of a passed loved one amid
feeling of holiday togetherness can evoke considerable sadness. Those who must
endure the emotions swirling around the loss of a loved one during the holidays are
encouraged to resist the understandable urge to withdraw from the holiday spirit.
Instead, they may want to seize upon the holiday to come together with others who
are feeling the loss, and join with them in loving remembrances of the departed.
Doing so may well help allay their sadness and might even evoke a nearly a palpable
presence of the departed.
As family and friends gather to celebrate the holidays, our longing for a love one
who has died, or for the shared times that have passed, may intensify. This holiday
season, gift yourself with time set aside to intentionally remember and celebrate your
loved one. The death of a loved one is a difficult time. If final arrangements have
not been made prior to death, there are many decisions that must be made. Connelly
Funeral Home can assist you in planning and coordinating all the details.
