Organization brings American dream to immigrant youth BY GIANNA DECARLO

EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Liberty’s Promise is a non-profit that works to make the American Dream more accessible to low-income immigrant youth. The program, which is based in Virginia, has recently come to Baltimore for the first time. “After ten years of serving immigrant youth in the DC Metro area, Liberty’s Promise is very excited to expand our after-school programs to Baltimore this fall. We’re really excited about the program and we’re moving full speed,” said Krista O’Connell, the program director for Liberty’s Promise. Liberty’s Promise will run out of Breath of God Lutheran Church at 141 S. Clinton St. and Patterson Park High School at 100 Kane St. starting on Monday, October 12.

Changes made to SE Transportation Plan by GIANNA DECARLO

EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

On Thursday, September 24, the Department of Transportation (DOT) presented updates to the Southeast Transportation Plan. The five-year program analyzed the heaviest points of traffic in the Southeast and worked to find solutions to the congestion. In 2010, the City Council passed legislation which divided the city into zones. Currently the “blue zone” or the Southeast up to Johns Hopkins hospital, is the priority. “We knew we had problems and we had a good idea about what those problems were as far as getting cars and people in and out of where they need to go,” said Valorie LaCour, the DOT’s division chief of planning. An aspect of the plan that received criticism when it was presented earlier this year were parking restrictions at Aliceanna and Boston Sts. during peak hours. Sameer Sidh, the chief of special projects and business improvement for DOT, said this plan has been completely changed. “We went back to the drawing board after hearing the community complaints. Now we’re doing a double right turn at that Boston-Aliceanna intersection and actually add parking spots,” he explained, “What happens is you have cars making that double right before seven and the parked cars will come in and actually enforce the single right. We thought it was a creative option.” LaCour said the plan was guided by studies that looked at the intersections in the zoned area. She said improvements to key intersections will be made and that the goal Call me today to hear about these optional features: New Car Replacement, Accident Forgiveness and Deductible Rewards.

is to help people get on and off the interstate more quickly and out of residential neighborhoods. The plan focused on the large amount of development that is expected to occur in the Southeast and how this would worsen current traffic conditions. “There are 25 potential developments coming, and that is 12.5 million square feet total and 6,500 new residential units so that’s 6,500 new families. It’s a thousand hotel rooms and 2.3 million square feet of office and a million square feet of retail and 1.5 million square feet of industrial space,” said LaCour. To combat this, the DOT is working to promote intermodal transportation. This means using options like the Metro, the Water Taxis, and the Charm City Circulator to get commuters out of their cars. The DOT wants to create transportation hubs where people can board these modes of transportation more efficiently. LaCour said these hubs would be created on the edges of the city where there are already existing parking lots and garages. Some proposed locations include Canton Crossing and the Johns Hopkins Bayview campus. Another method to cut down on traffic is to create a biking infrastructure. This includes a bike sharing system, newly installed bike racks, and the construction of bike lanes on populated streets such as Caroline St. and Eastern Ave. LaCour said that driving is 82% of how

people get around. The DOT wants to reduce this by 15% over the next five years. The DOT is creating a fee for developers who want to build in the area. The fee is based on how much they’re building and how many people would be commuting there. The money raised will go to mitigating the traffic the new business creates. “Our number one priority down here is traffic signals. The majority of signals in the city don’t have communication so if they need to be changed, we literally send people out in the field to change them,” said LaCour, when questioned about the DOT’s top priorities. She said new wireless and electronic traffic signals would make traffic modification during events or accidents easier which reduces traffic stand-stills along with reducing response time. New traffic signals have already been installed at Boston and Potomac Sts. and Haven and Boston Sts. “We’re trying to fix three decades worth of problems. We have thirty years of missed opportunities that we have to catch up with, plus we have to take care of what’s happening in the future,” said LaCour. Since the first draft of the plan was announced, the DOT has been taking feedback from the community.

Cox said she called the police and filed a report. The police told her to put the piece of paper in a plastic bag and to keep it in her car to avoid evidence contamination. Cox said she wondered if it was a targeted attack. But when she looked at the other cars on her block, she determined that their car was the only one who had a gas cap that could be removed from the outside, making them the only possible victim. “This isn’t a joke, this isn’t a prank. We usually don’t have problems on this side of the park,” she said. A similar incident happened in Canton on the 600 block of S. Potomac St. The victims, who wish to remain anonymous, found a mattress that had been lying against their house set on fire. The female victim and homeowner said she and her husband were watching T.V. around 1:30 a.m. on the evening of Sunday, September 27 when she noticed a flame outside her window. “I looked over to my left and noticed it was basically ablaze, it wasn’t on the inside, but you could see it through our blinds. It was such a bright red. It was complete chaos. You never expect something like this to happen,” she said. The couple ran to the next-door house and extinguished the fire with their neighbor’s hose. Their windows and the rear facade of their house suffered some damage. “I honestly believe if we didn’t get to it that soon, it would’ve caused more damage,” Remnants of a burnt mattress fire suspected to she said. be arson. | Photo provided by the homeowner.

Blue Water Baltimore grant brings 450 new trees to Highlandtown by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

The environmental organization Blue Water Baltimore announced that 450 new trees will be planted along neighborhood streets, including Highlandtown. The project is possible due to $300,000 in funding from the Department of Natural Resources’ Chesapeake and Coastal Services Unit. The neighborhoods were chosen because they have a “low tree canopy”, meaning the trees don’t provide enough coverage from the sun. “Highlandtown was identified in particular as a neighborhood suffering from the “heatisland effect,” which a tree canopy can alleviate, lowering the neighborhood temperature by several degrees at the height of summer. The effort is one more supplement to the Southeast CDC’s extensive efforts in revitalizing the neighborhood,” states the Southeast CDC about the previous project through Blue Water Baltimore. When installed, the trees will do more than provide a shady escape for sunny days. Increasing the canopy can reduce the overall temperatures anywhere from 5% to 10%. The

trees also help eliminate stormwater runoff, can reduce noise pollution, and increase property values for homeowners. And, of course, they look good. In October of 2014, a similar initiative took place in Highlandtown. A $52.8 million grant from Constellation Energy, at the request of the Maryland Public Service Commission, funded the Baltimore Energy Initiative. Highlandtown received some of this money and used it to plant trees, a way of revitalizing, energizing, and cooling down the neighborhood. In neighboring Patterson Park, 20 trees were planted along Fairmount Ave. between N. Curley St. and N. Ellwood Ave. by volunteers and Blue Water Baltimore. This was possible due to a $250,000 community greening grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust that was awarded to the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association in the winter of 2014. It is unknown where exactly the new trees in Highlandtown will be planted, but it is likely there will be a need for volunteers during one of the planting days.

St. Casimir students welcome Pope Francis with custom waves

3rd Annual

by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

The corner of Clinton and Pratt in Highlandtown (141 S. Clinton) Sunday, October 11th, 1:00-6:00 pm The students of St. Casimir, from pre-k to 8th grade, welcomed the Pope with a wave and a song. | Photo courtesy of St. Casimir Catholic School.

When Pope Francis made an historic stop in the United States last week, he received warm welcomes from all over the country. One of the warmest welcomes came from the students of St. Casimir Catholic School located at 1035 South Kenwood Ave. The entire student body, from pre-k 3 students to 8th graders, lined the street to give the pope their greeting. The children sang a song called “Pope Pope Hello” as they waved. Each grade had their own special wave that they created on their own. “It just mushroomed from there with the kids taking over. The kids coordinated and decided what they wanted to do. It was totally self-organized,” said Mel Connelly, a kindergarten teacher at St. Casimir who helped organize the event. Connelly said that prior to to the pope’s visit, the students were given lessons and shown videos about the pope so that they understood the importance of his arrival. “The kids just loved it,” said Connelly. St. Casimir students are also doing a shoe donation drive called Footprints for Francis and participated in a food drive for Fox 45. “Wow! A special salute and thanks to the students at St. Casimir School for the tremendous outpouring of generous giving during FOX 45’s Morning News Shoppers Help Hungry Children food drive this morning. You [sic] call on Tuesday made my day…and this morning’s [sic] your enthusiasm, energy, and true spirit of caring for others was an inspiration!” stated Fox 45

anchor, Sharon Wylie on the channel’s Facebook page. By offering a friendly wave or donating to the needy, the students of St. Casimir certainly gave Pope Francis a fitting welcome.

Sip & Bite founder returns to kitchen to prepare classic dishes BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Canton favorite, Sip & Bite Restaurant, is getting back on its feet. They are going back to the classics as well as making room for new additions. The diner at 2200 Boston St., which has been featured everywhere from the Food Network to CNN to the New York Times, is bringing back their freshly made daily specials. This is all due to George Vasiliades, the original owner of Sip & Bite, who has returned to add his special touch. “I’ve been here since 1948,” said George. “And through three generations of ownership,” added his daughter-in-law and Sip & Bite co-owner Sofia Vasiliades. Sofia explained that the daily specials were put on a hiatus a few years ago. Now that both the owners and the special are back, she said they will work to please their entire customer base. “We’re trying to find a balance between the new generation and still catering to Old Baltimore and trying to introduce new and trendier foods while still incorporating our famous specials that the neighborhood loves

and has known us for years. Travelers are always welcome, but without such a supportive, and loving neighborhood we would not be here today having this conversation. We are forever grateful. East Baltimore is the best,” she said. The classics, like corned beef and cabbage, chicken pot pie, pepper steak, and roast turkey, will still be in rotation. They will also be preparing for the colder months with homemade soups such as navy bean, split pea, and the classic chicken noodle. They’ll still have their round-the-clock breakfast and Greek specialties. “We’re trying to meld the old school specials with health-conscious meals and options like egg whites and turkey sausage. So, we’re trying to find a balance between the generations,” added Sofia. Her father-in-law came back to the restaurant a few weeks ago and Sofia said he’s been training the staff since then. They make a pretty good team. They mix old school with the new school, she said. For more information and to view Sip & Bite’s full menu, visit www.sipandbite.com.

This tradition, which is still honored in Italy, is the motivation for Little Italy’s Madonnari Festival from October 1-4. The festival will feature over 60 artists who will turn the streets of Little Italy into a vibrant, living museum. Cyd Wolf, one of the main organizers of the festival, says that this celebration of art represents the Little Italy community and its devotion to their culture. “The Italian heritage is so important. It’s all about creativity in the arts. And in science you have Di Vinci and Michelangelo. The great writers, artists, poets were Italian and they continue to influence the great creators today,” said Wolfe.

She said light needs to be shone on all the good within Baltimore. “Our community, like so many others, came together during this time. And we started sharing our ideas and concerns and we really wanted to cast Baltimore in a much better light. Baltimore is a unique community of artists and educators. We are fortunate to be in the heart of Hopkins and Loyola and Towson and MICA. We have so much talent here and we thought the world media didn’t do justice to this special city,” she said. At the end of the festival on Sunday, October 4, the 125th Columbus Day Parade will begin. The yearly celebration will honor Columbus by carrying a statue from Key Highway and Light St., across Pratt St., then right on Exeter Street in Little Italy, then left on Bank Street. The parade will begin with a wreathlaying ceremony and be capped off with a rooftop bocce ball tournament and a Beatles tribute by the band The Apple Scruffs.

Galley brings fresh flavors and affordable food delivery by julie m. kichline & Gianna DeCarlo

A new food delivery service has arrived in Baltimore. Already popular in Washington DC, Galley is a “new way of gourmet eating on an affordable budget.” According to their website, “they deliver wholesome, chefprepared meals made with the highest-quality ingredients to your door, ready for you to warm and plate for a restaurant-caliber dining experience.” Alan Clifford, the co-founder of Galley, said he was inspired to create the service after long work days at his former job at LivingSocial. “I think every person goes home after work hungry and then you end up defaulting to fast food like pizza and Chinese food, and after you do that 100 times, you realize it’s not very healthy and not good quality,” said Clifford. “So we thought, ‘How do you make eating a high-quality healthy meal consistent?’. The goal was to take the arts and craft project out of cooking dinner and to get the feeling of making dinner without all the work and preparation.” Galley, which launched in January, has been steadily adding more neighborhoods to its delivery routes. How it works: Each morning, MondayFriday, a menu with 3 options is posted on the website. You select your choice(s) as well as a 30-minute delivery window between 5-8:30 p.m. The food arrives chilled in an oven-proof, biodegradable container. Just heat and eat. Oh, order early as there are only a limited amount of meals prepared each day and they may sell out. Clifford said the meals are prepared in-house by staff that all have fine dining training. Entrees are priced $14 or less, which includes tax, delivery fee and tip. Typically, there is one veggie or seafood option along with beef, chicken or pork.

Currently, they serve vegetarian options three days a week, but are working to extend the availability to every day. Most meals are well-balanced, ranging between 600-800 calories. Clifford said they work to use as many locally sourced and fresh ingredients as possible. We sampled herbed goat cheese stuffed antibiotic-free chicken served with a roasted corn and shaved zucchini salad, and herbed Italian Farro. It was quite delicious. The portion was generous, 6 oz. of chicken, and it was accompanied by a surprise bite of chocolate bark. We also tried the chicken lettuce wraps. The meal came in 2 containers. One included a cold noodle salad with snap peas and red peppers. The other included fresh bibb lettuce, and a combination of cooked chicken, shiitake mushrooms and carrots - which was to be heated then inserted into the cold lettuce leaves. Both meals offered a variety of fresh vegetables and were well-seasoned. We think Galley is a terrific and tasty additional to east Baltimore’s food delivery options. To register, visit www.galleyfoods.com or download the app.

Delivery in Baltimore is currently limited to very specific neighborhoods including Canton and Fell’s Point in the southeast. | Map courtesy of Galley.

Kickboxing for Charity 9Round, a fitness center at 3713 Boston St., is hosting a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness and research on Thursday, October 15. 9Round is partnering with the local organization The Tyanna Foundation. The Tyanna Foundation is committed to providing support and comfort to those receiving treatment for breast cancer. By raising money for awareness and research, they hope to make breast cancer a thing of the past. “The event works like a kick-a-thon. Participants will come in for a specially designed workout involving kicks for 30 minutes. They will keep track of every kick they throw and we will record their totals. For every kick thrown that day, the owners of 9Round Baltimore will donate a penny,” said Kiley Wampler, the manager of 9Round and main organizer of the event. “We are also asking participants to match our donation. So if one person completes 1,000 kicks that day, it would mean a $10 donation from us and a $10 donation from them to The Tyanna Foundation.” This is the first time the Canton location will participate in the Kick Event for Cancer. “This will be the first year that we are open for the event and we are very excited to join in,” said Wampler. So lace up your tennis shoes, get some stretches in, and help save some lives. For more information on 9Rounds and the Kick Event for Cancer, visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/9RoundBaltimore.

New treatment for breast cancer patients suffering from lymphedem Story and photos courtesy of Mercy Medical Center

Mercy’s breast surgeons work closely with the therapists of Mercy’s Center for Restorative Therapies to proactively treat lymphedema, or the swelling of the arm, hand, back or chest due to a backup of lymph fluid, in breast cancer patients Lymphedema is swelling (caused by a backup of lymph fluid) that can occur in the arm, hand, back or chest on the side of your body where the breast cancer surgery was performed. Lymphedema occurs due to the removal of lymph nodes or damage from radiation therapy. Lymphedema can appear immediately after breast cancer surgery or not until months or years after treatment has been completed. It causes pain and limited motion, both of which can be improved by working with a trained physical therapist. The clinical team of The Hoffberger Breast Center, along with the therapists of The Center for Restorative Therapies, work in concert to minimize post-surgical complications including pain, cording and limitation of arm mobility.

The physical therapists of The Center for Restorative Therapies at Mercy are highly trained in treating lymphedema and work with breast cancer patients on an individual basis to relieve symptoms of lymphedema. Mercy’s team takes a proactive approach to lymphedema with its early intervention program. With a focus on maintaining or improving a patient’s quality of life, the early intervention program is based on national standards set forth by the National Lymphedema Network. Treatment begins before surgery with patient education and the acquisition of baseline measurements as a reference point for post-surgical mobility. Following surgery, an individualized treatment plan is put into place for patients. For those patients who have more severe, chronic cases of lymphedema, The Center for Restorative Therapies offers an intensive treatment program, including specialized massage techniques, compression bandaging, lymphatic exercise and comprehensive selfcare education.

Ladies, have you scheduled your mammogram yet? Medical experts agree that early detection is a woman’s best defense in overcoming breast cancer. In fact, the National Breast Cancer Foundation reports that when breast cancer is detected in the early, localized stage,the five-year survival rate is 98 percent.The organization encourages every woman to develop an early detection plan consisting of breast selfexams, clinical breast exams and mammograms based on age and health history. To learn how to perform a monthly breast self-exam, go to www.nationalbreastcancer.org or consult your healthcare professional. A family physician or gynecologist should perform a clinical breast exam as part of an annual visit, and can advise women on the frequency of mammography scheduling.

Bloat in dogs is extremely serious, dangerous, and life threatening. What exactly is bloat? The technical term is gastric dilatation-vulvulus (GDV), also known as “twisted stomach”, where the stomach is full of gas causing it to rotate and twist. There are no home remedies to treat this situation and it can’t be taken lightly, as bloat can cause death within hours. This is how it works… The stomach fills up with air/gas due to the inability to release swallowed air (burping). The expanded stomach applies pressure on other organs and the diaphragm making breathing difficult. The stomach is stretched so tightly that it also compresses the large veins in the stomach preventing blood flow to the heart. At this point, the air filled stomach can easily rotate on itself (“twisted stomach”) pinching off its own blood supply. The entire blood supply is disrupted and with no blood circulation the stomach begins to die. The air filled twisted stomach has not only stopped blood flow to the heart and interrupted circulation, but there’s no exit for the gas causing conditions to deteriorate rapidly! Some signs and symptoms to be aware of are abdominal distension (swollen belly), restlessness, pain, and rapid shallow breathing. One of the biggest hints is nonproductive vomiting/retching (trying to

vomit with little or nothing coming up). You may see profuse salivation which can be an indicator of pain too. If the stomach has already turned the dog can go into shock. This would cause pale gums, a weak pulse, a rapid heartbeat, and may even cause the dog to collapse. How does this happen? Well, there’s no pin point reason or activity that causes bloat, it’s more of a combination of events and factors. Bloat is more likely to occur in deep chested breeds such as Great Danes, St Bernards, Weimaraners, etc. Statistics also show that older dogs, male dogs, underweight, or anxious temperament dogs have an increased risk of bloat. Heredity can play a role as well. There are several controllable factors that can increase the threat of bloat, some of which include feeding a dog from an elevated food bowl and feeding one large meal a day. Rapid eating and playing/ running right after eating can also contribute to bloat. Feeding at least twice a day, if not several small meals, will decrease the risk of bloat. There are many more genetic and lifestyle factors that can put a dog at risk. Make yourself familiar with the factors, signs, and symptoms to help prevent the development of bloat in your dog. If you ever suspect that your dog is exhibiting any symptoms, go to your vet or animal emergency center immediately!

BIRDS HOUSE

by Andy Mindzak

Orioles falter against the Red Sox Well, that weekend was terrible. With the Orioles still clinging to hope for a Wild-Card spot in the playoffs, they faced off against the at-the-moment-last-place Boston Red Sox, who have been pretty terrible all season. The Baltimore Orioles responded just like they have responded at any point this year in a big situation: They got swept and didn’t score a single run in three games. I’m not kidding. They lost by scores of 7-0, 8-0 and then 2-0 to the Boston Red Sox. Heck, the Red Sox had more runs than the O’s had hits (17 Runs for Boston compared to only 12 hits for Baltimore). I guess this is payback for what the Orioles did to Boston a few years ago, when they eliminated them from the postseason on the last day of the year. This time, it was Boston returning the favor. Technically the Orioles are not eliminated just yet, but are pretty close to it. One area where they can look is their horrendous on base percentage. Their .305 mark is tied for 3rd worst in all of baseball. They are tied with the Los Angeles Angels and only four points ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres, both abysmal teams this year. As woeful as they are at getting on base, their .416 slugging percentage ranks 6th best. That’s great, but if there are no runners on base, that means very little. Speaking of not having runners on base, when they are on base, no one steals. The Orioles are dead last in stolen bases with a pathetic 39. That is nine worse than the Angels who are next to last with 48. Another stat that is scary is the rate at which the Orioles swing at pitches outside of the strike zone. Their mark of 34% is next to last, ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers who posted a percentage of 34.7%. When you are swinging at pitches outside of the strike zone, odds are not in your favor. What makes that worse is that the Orioles make contact with pitches outside the strike zone only 62.8% of the time, which is not good when you are swinging at so many of them. If you do make contact, odds are that it will not be solid contact resulting in a weak ground out or pop-up. What I’m getting at here is that the Orioles, with all of their might and power offensively, still are not that prolific on offense as one

might think. Sure, their pitching rotation has been mediocre at best this year, but their offense which was billed to be one of the best has been pretty ordinary. Their 672 runs scored this year are 14th best in all of baseball but what is the scariest part about this stat is that the top three run producers are all in the AL East. The Toronto Blue Jays have a league best 853 runs scored while the New York Yankees have scored 741 and the Red Sox have plated 720 runners this year. When you are competing in a league like this, you need to score runs. Maybe Peter Angelos and Dan Duquette will try to work on that this offseason… that and finding better starting pitching…and helping to rebuild their minor league system…but I will get into that over the next few weeks.

LIBERTY’S PROMISE: accessing the American Dream “The aim has to do with helping young immigrants learn about American civic life. What we’re trying to do in our endeavors and activities is help young people feel at home in their community,” said Robert Ponichtera, the executive director. “Once young people feel like they are more likely to be able to access the opportunities that are available to them, it levels the playing field and makes them feel like they can pursue their American dreams. they can do anything anybody that was born here can do.” Liberty’s Promise does this through two core after-school programs that focus on job and education readiness and civic engagement. Ponichtera said the student volunteers go out in the community where they get to meet their local police force and business people. In doing so, he said they establish connections and feel like a useful part of their communities. With experience also comes education. The children are taught how to apply and excel in college and how to develop job skills, such as learning how to write a resume and apply for scholarships. Over $1.5 million in scholarships have been awarded to Liberty’s Promise students. “One of the most valuable aspects is inviting guests speakers into the program to provide their own perspective on these issues,” said O’Connell. These speakers can be anyone from a local councilman to a school teacher, to somebody who has already completed the program. She said that allowing the youth to see success stories “adds an additional voice” to the experience and can inspire a real change in their outlook. O’Connell also said that it’s not only connecting the members with the community, but actually creating their own community. She said the students develop close friendships and encourage each other to learn. Along with creating a close-knit community, the goal is to instill a sense of pride and

patriotism in the youth. By doing community service, and working with local officials and learning about the government through field trips to City Hall, the children begin to understand how the city operates. In the summer, the youth are placed into professional, paid internships. Liberty’s Promise has been working to establish a hub in Baltimore since 2007 and it was finally made possible due to funding from a private donor. “The reason we came here was because we knew there was an immigrant population here. This community doesn’t see the opportunities, they think ‘I’m supposed to see the American dream’ and then they get here and are like ‘I can’t access these opportunities and I don’t know how to move forward,’” said Ponichtera. “I don’t think our society can sit around and wait until the immigrants assimilate in 30-40 years. 17-year-olds with good ideas should be listened to.” In the future, Liberty’s Promise hopes to launch an internship initiative and a program for just Spanish speakers. The programs are open to those between 15-21 years old and last about 10 weeks. During the next few weeks, members of Liberty’s Promise will be visiting local schools to recruit members. Now, there are 16 programs in 12 locations. Since 2005, they have helped over 2,800 immigrant youths who represented over 100 countries. “Immigrants are hard-working, conscientious people who create jobs and make a positive contribution to our communities. An overwhelming majority of the young immigrants who have participated in our high school programs have gone on to higher education and successful careers. They want to be here, succeed and make a contribution to American civic life,” stated Ponchietra in a letter to the Washington Post.
