If you are a fan of late-night TV, you have probably seen the commercial with Robert Wagner, famous for his television roles in “Hart to Hart” and more recently in “NCIS,” speak soothingly about reverse mortgages.
It’s very simple, he says. Live off the equity in your home. Get a loan that you don’t even have to make payments on!
Call this 1-800 number and a friendly loan counselor will get you set up and even send you a free DVD that will help answer all your questions!
It’s a tempting proposition.It’s not quite that simple, of course. But
it can be a good deal for some people over

62 who intend to stay in their homes.Reverse mortgages, officially known as
Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), are a method for extracting the equity you have put into your home over the years. For instance, if you bought your home in Canton in 1986 and paid $30,000, which was the going rate at the time, you could have lots of equity in your home, because the going rate these days is north of $200,000 for a home in good condition. Reverse mortgages allow you to extract a portion of that equity.
The basics: in a conventional “for-ward” mortgage, the borrower pays the loan company and the homeowner gains equity. In a reverse mortgage, the loan company pays the homeowner, which

subtracts from the equity.When the borrower moves out of the
home, or dies, the loan is paid off. The heirs can pay off the loan if they want to keep the house, or the house can be sold, the loan paid off, and the rest paid into the estate.
Reverse mortgages are available to people 62 and older who want to stay in their homes. The older you are, the more money you can get, because the loan companies take life expectancy into account when calculating the loan.
“If you are not in good health, or you don’t think you are going to stay in your home, this loan is not for

Admiral Mayhem meets plenty of roller derby players who never com-mitted a foul.
As a referee, she’s constantly cor-recting them.
“When people go to the penalty box they’re always like, ‘What did I do?’” said Mayhem, the nom de skate of roller derby referee Abby Duffield. “You were skating, that’s what you did. You’re playing roller
derby. You get a major [infraction].”Welcome to roller derby, a wild mixture
of sport and entertainment. There are rules, but they are often broken during a bout of physical and rough play. Baltimore’s own roller derby team, the Charm City Roller Girls, competes once a month at Du Burns Arena in Canton.
The women who participate come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Teachers,
nurses and college students play on the Charm City Roller Girls’ four home teams (Mobtown Mods, Speed Regime, Junkyard Dolls, Night Terrors).
Angel Benson, who participates in roller derby under the nickname Ela Trick, is a 36-year-old auditor for an insurance com-pany who tried out after learning there was a team in town. Since trying out in February,

Arrivederci, l’estate.Little Italy says goodbye to summer in a
big way with the St. Gabriel Italian Festival. The festival runs on Saturday and Sunday, noon-8 p.m. each day.
All activities take place on Little Italy’s streets, and most are scheduled to go on rain or shine.
St. Gabriel’s includes all the requisite fair fare: games, wheels, bingo, kids’ activities, fried dough and more — but with an Italian accent. In addition to the more than 30 res-taurants offering refreshment, there are meatballs, gelati and vendors with every-thing from biscotti to pizzelles.
For those who need to fit in some phys-ed to make up for all the pasta they plan to con-sume, there’s the possibility of participating in the St. Gabriel Festival bocce tournament on Saturday, Aug. 20 (singles players) and Sunday, Aug. 21 (four-person teams).
On Saturday, the singles action will include 16 individuals, at a cost of $40 each, with $10 donated to St. Leo’s. On Sunday, there are 16 four-person teams with an entry fee of $160/team ($40 donated to St. Leo’s).
Little Italy celebrates the Feast of Saint Gabriel in styleAll registration fees are non-refundable,
and tournaments will be played in a double-elimination format. Info/registration: Dino Basso 410-536-0886.
Those who want to put in some volunteer time and help make the festival happen (since they don’t happen on their own), assis-tance is still needed at the lemonade stand on Saturday, and on Sunday at the meatball, cookies or lemonade stands, the Big Nine game from 4 p.m.-8 p.m., or the beer truck from 4 p.m.-8 p.m. Those who are interested should e-mail Laura Kerris at [email protected].
And while the festival (one of Baltimore’s oldest traditions) runs on both Saturday and Sunday, Sunday is the religious centerpiece of the weekend. On Sunday, the Church of St. Leo the Great has Mass at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
Primer for those who lack a background in Roman Catholicism, Italian culture and more: St. Gabriel, the founder of the festival, is the archangel and the angel of mercy. His statue will be venerated after the 11:30 Mass, and the devout will pin dollar bills to its cascading ribbons.
Those seeking more information on the
festival can go to the website of the Promotion Center for Little Italy, www.littleitalymd.com/ or call 410-675-7275.
(Note: Another Little Italy event, National
Bocce Day is celebrated on Sunday, Sept. 4, 10 a.m.-7 p.m. with four-person teams. Spectators welcome. Info: Giovanna 443-851-3311, Fran 410-207-7075).
In Little Italy, the tradition of bocce is alive and well. This weekend’s St. Gabriel Festival will feature singles and four-man teams. Photo by Anna Santana

I would like to hear from neighborhood people who like reverse-angle parking. I don’t know about you, but I find it a pain in the neck.
The Department of Transportation, the agency responsible for spreading this nui-sance throughout our neighborhoods, says that reverse angle parking—that is, parking with your back bumper to the curb rather than your front bumper--is safer and will help prevent accidents.
DOT’s point of view is that backing into the space “increases visibility when motor-ists are exiting spaces.”
True—if everyone is driving family sedans and coupes. But has anyone noticed how many gigantic SUVs, pickup trucks and (more modest) minivans are parked around our neighborhoods? Up to a third, I’d say.
And if you are unlucky enough to walk to your car at the end of the day and one of these motor monsters has parked to your left, you still have to pull out of your space blind, and without a rear-view mirror to help you.
And once you have inched out of your space so that you do have some visibility, you need to have the spinal flexibility of a Cirque du Soleil acrobat because you must look nearly behind you to see cars coming up to you, and again, you don’t have the benefit of a mirror to help.
One more point: Reverse angle parking, at 45 degrees, takes up more space on the block than head-in parking at 60 degrees. So if you are on a street that once had head-in angle parking and DOT switches to reverse-angle, you lose a few spaces.
In a city that is critically short of parking,
losing spaces is not good.Reverse-angle parking has some advan-
tages over parallel parking. You do gain a few spaces with reverse-angle if your street is switched from parallel parking.
• If you are traveling with kids, they will find it hard to run into the street because with reverse angle parking, the car door is between the kid and the street, at least for an instant or two. So you could say it’s safer. Somewhat.
• And it is safer for cyclists, who rightfully loathe riding past a long row of angle-parked cars because cars can back directly into their path, and it’s hard for motorists backing out of the spaces to see the cyclists.
Right-ho. But motorists using reverse angle parking still have to look pretty much behind them to see cyclists coming, and in any given row of angle parking there is sure to be one or two SUVs or pickup trucks
blocking the field of view.Another thing that makes reverse-angle
parking a pain in the neck: it requires side streets to go from two-lanes of traffic, two-way to one lane of traffic, one way. And the one-way streets do not alternate directions, so in Upper Fells Point, for instance, you can travel a few blocks before finding a street that goes the direction you want to travel.
And yet another thing about reverse-angle parking--Automobile exhaust blows straight into the sidewalk, which is a nuisance when lots of people are coming and going at the beginning and end of the day, and it’s unpleasant for people who like to sit on their porches and steps.
Frank Murphy, Deputy Director of DOT, says that all future angle parking will be reverse-angle parking. I hope DOT will reverse its decision, be flexible, and decide neighborhood by neighborhood.

Revisit Old Baltimore at Locust Point pub
Those who long for good old unpreten-tious Old Baltimore, for backyard crab feasts and affordable rowhouses and step-sitting and the days when the Oreos won games and corner bars served as the neighbor-hood’s living room, cheer up.
Go to JR’s Bar & Grill at 1229 Hull Street in Locust Point. And there in the dimness you will revisit the glory days of an honest workingman’s bar with draft beer that is not named after a sporting dog or carnivorous fish, great grub, friendly barflies and the soothing clack of billiards in the back.
Wait. At JR’s they call it pool, of course. Forgot where we were for a moment!
JR’s is a place where you can settle in for the long haul, make yourself comfortable for the evening and watch the game or hang out with friends. There are three large tables on the side of the room, the pool table in back and a long bar with the traditional mirrors and a few TVs turned to sports. At lunch-
time, a couple are tuned to sports.You can choose to eat at the bar or at the
tables. We chose the bar, a long copper-topped bar with wooden cafe seats, attrac-tive and comfortable.
Advice: Go hungry as well as thirsty. The menu is the normal pub-grub array of sand-wiches, burgers, subs and snacks, but the servings are mountainous.
Take the burgers, and you should. The menu describes them as 1/4 pound, but these are not your average quarter-pounders. For one thing, they’re at least half a pound. And they are perfectly grilled to order--my medi-um came medium, with a little pink in the middle and nicely browned outside.
I ordered the Fort McHenry, which is topped with bacon. cheddar and some very good, smoky imported ham. It also came with about an acre of excellent fresh-cut fries. All for $5.75, and you will not find a value like that anywhere in, or out of, town.
The crab cake sandwich is amazing--a
very large cake, with lots of sweet crabmeat and very little filler. The crab cake fills the oversized roll—it’s six ounces at least, prob-ably closer to eight. The crab cake is well-seasoned with Old Bay, not too much of it, and a little pepper. This sandwich also comes with a vast number of fresh-cut fries, and it costs only $10.95.
Another advantage of JR’s, the good old-fashioned Baltimore bar, is that the owner, Mary Armstrong, is often working the bar. She is one of the nicest women in the world, recently widowed and keeping the bar going with the help of her son. She also knows everything you need to know about Locust
Point and South Baltimore.I was there with someone new to town,
and we chatted about steamed crabs and where to have them, crab feasts in general, the Fort Avenue Bridge, the neighbor-hood, the Os, the Ravens, and had a great time. A gentleman down the bar joined in. It was fun.
The whole enjoyable experience came to $18.71 including tax but not the tip.
JR’s Bar and Grill, 1229 Hull Street, is open daily for lunch and dinner. It’s a Locust Point treasure, and one of those places everyone needs to visit at least once. Once you have tried it, you’ll go back.

Roller derbyCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
she’s guest-skated in a bout with the Mobtown Mods. Benson’s ahead of schedule, as it nor-mally takes a year of training and scrimmag-ing to compete in a bout.
“I just like that there’s so much you’re con-stantly learning and doing,” Benson said. “It’s never the same thing ever. You use your mind and body so much that it’s very exciting all the time. It’s really cool to be able to say I play roller derby. No one expects it of me.”Offense and defense, simultaneously
Before Mindy Goldman tried out, she knew nothing about roller derby.
Over a year later, she’s well versed in the intricacies of a sport that’s much more than just skating and hitting. For starters, each team lines up with five players—four block-ers and one jammer. The goal is for the jam-mer, the skater that scores points, to skate past the opposition’s blockers.
For each blocker the jammer laps, it’s a point (example: passing four blockers equals four points). The blockers are forced to play defense against the other team’s jammer, keeping the jammer from lapping them. But at the same time, they have to spring their team’s jammer so she can score.
Thinking quickly, the blockers have to figure out a method to play offense and defense at the same time.
“There are so many aspects of derby,” said Goldman, who goes by the derby name Ellie Vation.
Margaret Hart, also known as Xena Paradox, began playing roller derby in 2007 when she lived in Boston. At 5-feet-11, Hart is one of the tallest players in the league. She plays on the Junkyard Dolls in intraleague play and also on the Charm City Roller Girls All-Stars, which competes interna-tionally in the Women’s Flat Track Derby A s s o c i a t i o n (WFTDA).
“It’s aggressive and really hard,” Hart said. “It takes a lot of work and practice, and I’ve never been in better shape in my life. It’s the only sport I know where you’re playing offense and defense at the same time.”
WFTDA has teams from all over the United States, Canada and even England, act-ing as the sport’s governing body. The league is broken into four regions—East, North
Central, South Central and West.The Charm City Roller Girls compete
in the East region, which consists of teams down the East Coast, plus Montreal and London. The team, along with the D.C. Roller Girls, will host the East Region Playoffs in Baltimore from Sept. 16-18. The top three teams from this regional advance to the WFTDA 2011 Championships in Broomfield, Colo.
Bout readyIt took Goldman
a year to become bout ready.
During that time, she tried out and slowly worked her way up the ranks to earn a spot on the Night Terrors. The Charm City Roller Girls use a color-coded system to determine its play-ers, beginning with a white star, which
labels rookies.After white stars learn the basic skills, the
next test is for an orange star. The orange stars can participate in scrimmages. Following the orange star assessment is the green star assessment. Upon earning a green star, play-ers are eligible to be drafted by one of the
home teams and put on a roster.Once you’re on a team you pick a derby
name. That adds to the entertainment value of a sport that used to rival professional wres-tling in the 1970s. These days, roller derby is a true sport with true competition, without a fixed outcome. But it still sports the intimi-dating names, the outrageous outfits and the thrill this physical sport provides.
“After my first bout my 10-year-old son looked at me and said, ‘Mom, I had no idea you could do that,’” Benson said. “And the look in his eyes was like I just became a hero to my son.”

you,” said Margaret Elseroad, a housing counselor at the nonprofit Southeast Community Development Corp. on Eastern Avenue. Elseroad specializes in reverse mortgages. She took a detailed course and a test—”the hardest test I have ever taken,” she said—to qualify.
Borrowers can take the funds in a lump, take out a line of credit financed by the reverse mortgage, or take a “tenure” pay-ment that will pay a fixed amount for as long as they live in the home.
It is wise to get counseling before agreeing to a conventional “forward” mortgage, but it’s mandatory for reverse mortgages. Elseroad says the counseling covers income, budget the estimated value of the property and whether a reverse mortgage is appropriate in the circumstances.
“Most of the people I talk to are brought in by the Robert Wagner commercial,” she said.
Counseling can take time, because the issues can get complicated, and must be complete before the loan application can be processed.
HECMs are insured by the federal gov-ernment through FHA, so the house in ques-tion will have to pass an FHA inspection, which is stringent.
There are upfront costs, and they can be steep, just as with a conventional mortgage. Loan origination fee, appraisal, mortgage insurance, and other costs can run $6,000 for a $100,000 house, according to the National Council on Aging.
“You have to consider whether it will be worth it,” said Elseroad.
It might be. To find out whether a reverse mortgage is appropriate for you, find coun-seling. Southeast CDC offers it. Call 410-342-3234 for a free appointment or check www.southeastcdc.org, click the red “HOUSING COUNSELING” link at the upper right, and then click “Reverse
Mortgage” on the left hand side.St. Ambrose Housing Aid Center also
offers reverse mortgage counseling. Phone 410-366-2550 for info.
For a loan calculator and other resources visit www.reversemortgage.org.
A reverse mortgage can be a good option for seniors, but it’s not for ev-eryone.

Growing up in Canton: Where did you go to school?
Here’s the question: what school did you go to? In Baltimore, it does not mean which college, it means what high school. Instantly you get an idea where the person grew up, and as a bonus, a few hints about his general character.
I’m Class of ‘66 from Patterson. My brother is Patterson ‘64. We are in the van-guard of the Baby Boom. Once the Boomers got to school age the city struggled to build
enough schools to hold them all.The Patterson Clippers moved into a
new school in the early ‘60s. My broth-er’s class was over 500 and mine was in the mid 400s. We celebrated Ring Day with what I think was the most handsome high school ring in the city—the black onyx base with a clipper ship on top.
Where were you when Kennedy was shot? I was sitting in Mrs. Holland’s geography class during last period. Joe Holechek, our student body president,
came on the intercom and read a state-ment. It was a moment none of us will ever forget. Today’s kids remember where they were when the Twin Towers came down.
We had a smoking area for students out by the stadium wall, which today, along with taking swimming in the nude, is totally unbelievable, but it’s
true! The cafeteria had real plates and silverware. The school was packed with over 2,000 members of the Teenage Wasteland but it was manageable.
At the end of the school day the bus would pull up in the circle out by Kane Street and we rushed it like it was the last helicopter leaving Vietnam. It was a short but loud ride back to Canton.

OWINGS MILLS -- The preseason is a period that makes or breaks those on the fringe of a roster spot.
It’s also a time where certain players’ stocks rise based on game performances. It can also open up a coaching staff’s eyes and see what issues need fixed on a team.
The Ravens are no different, with Thursday’s first preseason game producing plenty of highs and lows.
This Friday, in the Ravens’ second preseason game against Kansas City, players who want to make the team need to correct mistakes made last week against the Eagles.
Last week, outside linebacker Paul Kruger had the defense’s best showing, tal-lying five tackles and a sack. Kruger’s a backup in defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano’s scheme but may see an increased role in substitution packages if his play continues like this through the preseason.
But even with the good showing, Kruger noticed the mishaps when reviewing the film, and hopes his play improves against
Kansas City. “I can do a lot of things better,” Kruger
said. “I missed a few tackles. I missed that sack, I was pretty disappointed about that. Overall, I had some mental errors and just got to get better all around with technique. There’s always things you can improve on.”
The offensive line gave up a whopping six sacks against Philadelphia. Given that this is a unit that gave up 40 sacks a season ago, this is an area the coaches are working on throughout the preseason.
Though the unit is off to a rough start, left tackle Michael Oher believes the unit will have the kinks ironed out by the time the preseason’s over.
“We have guys around in the locker room that understand how to win and know how to approach a lot of different things,” Oher said. “It’s good to have guys like that in the locker room.”
Oniel Cousins, who started last Thursday at right tackle, might receive a look at guard against Kansas City. Cousins didn’t have a good outing at tackle against Philadelphia, and coach
John Harbaugh said a move to guard might suit him better.
“He is a powerful guy in there,” Harbaugh said. “He is really explosive. He has long arms. He passed off all the twists in the (practice) games really well. We’ll just have to see how it works out and maybe take a look at him in the game.”
After wide receiver Torrey Smith went without a catch last week, the Ravens trad-ed a fourth round pick to Buffalo for vet-eran wideout Lee Evans. Evans’ speed and ability to get down the field could prove to
Ravens' fledglings scramble for roster spots against KC
be an asset for Smith and rookie receiver Tandon Doss, as it would let them learn the offense at a slower pace.
“It kind of takes some of the pressure off the young guys a little bit,” Harbaugh said. “It allows them to grow at the pace that you would want them to grow. Developing players is really important, and there’s a certain pace to that that you would like to adhere to if you could. Bringing in Lee helps us do that. Plus, he’s fast, he’s made plays, and he’s a big yards-per-catch guy. That helps a lot.”
Rookie wide re-ceiver Tandon Doss (89) is learning the ropes from star WR Anquan Boldin (81).

By Andrew Mindzak Remember that time you went on a
date with that really cute girl? The nice restaurant, the great club, the big dent in your wallet, and then when you walk to the car you move in for the kiss. And you get cheek. Oof, that hurt! Well, that is where you and the Baltimore Orioles have something in common, because the Orioles got a whole lot of cheek for Vladimir Guerrero.
Last winter general manager Andy MacPhail was ecstatic to announce the signing of Guerrero, a right-handed slugger who is a career .318 hitter. Well, Andy, pucker up bud, because here comes the cheek. You paid $8 mil-lion for a 36 year old cleanup hitter who is hitting .276 with ten home runs and 41 runs batted in.
Yes, Vlad, who is a clean up hitter, has 41 RBI. If you want to do the math on that one, Vlad is earning roughly $195,121 per RBI. Comparatively speaking, Johnny Damon, who is earning $5.25 million this year with the Rays, has 51
RBI, which equates to an RBI per every $102,941. Heck, even Hideki Matsui ($4.25 million) has 59 RBI in 20 fewer at bats than Vlad.
OK, so with the bad, you get the good (at least hopefully you do). This week we choose the player of the month, and thankfully there are some Orioles who can show Vlad how to hit. Both Adam Jones and J.J. Hardy have had excellent starts to their second half of the season. But I had to choose one, so I decided to go with Mr. Jones.
Before I get to Jonesy, let’s take a look at what Hardy has done so far since the All Star break. Hardy has paid huge dividends so far since coming to the Inner Harbor. Since the break, Hardy is tied for third in the majors with 10 home runs, behind the likes of Dan Uggla who has 12, and Albert Pujols with 11. Hardy has also driven in a team leading 25 runs since the break, but his .252 average and .261 on base percent-age need to improve a bit.
Jones, on the other hand, is hitting .319
with an OBP of .346. He hasn’t lacked power either, as he has hit eight home runs and driven in 23 runs since mid July. Jones has also chipped in four sto-len bases. As if those numbers weren’t impressive enough, here are some stats that might impress you in case you didn’t already know.
Amongst all center fielders this year, American League and National League, Jones is fourth overall in hits with 134, third in home runs with 21, fourth in runs
batted in with 72, and sixth in doubles with 23. Jones is the player of the month but also is shaping up to be the Orioles MVP this season.
On a side note, I feel a bit lost, because normally this is where I would notify everyone that Justin Duchscherer is still on the DL, but since he’s been released, I’m kind of hoping Baltimore re-signs him for next year at a discounted rate just so I can write about his adventures of not playing baseball. Until then, have a good week and let’s go Ravens!

Patterson Clippers working (out) hard in practicePlayers were winded, with their hands on
their hips. But running 40-yard sprints was only the beginning.
The Patterson Clippers opened their fall football camp on Saturday, training for the upcoming season. Conditioning is a vital part to a sport as brutal as football. And the coaches began where they left off.
After running short sprints, the team did grueling sets of mountain climbers and push-ups. After the players toughed that out they concluded with two additional 100-yard sprints.
Welcome back, Patterson.“We know the coaches are going to work
us,” senior wide receiver Pete Carter said.Patterson is coming off an impressive
10-2 season but has to replace a lot of key contributors. Eighteen contributing seniors from the 2010 season graduated, leaving a lot of holes for this year’s squad to fill.
“Last year I knew what I had coming back and the expectations were high,” Patterson coach Corey Johnson said. “This year, I don’t know what I have coming back. But we’ve had a couple of
[pleasant] surprises so far.”Patterson practiced Saturday morning
under a hazy sky that threatened rain throughout. Fortunately for the Clippers, they made it through without a storm stop-ping practice. They opened the first prac-tice without pads, practicing basic position drills. They followed this with practicing plays and installing the offense, which has a lot of newcomers.
Quarterback Craig Oliver, a senior trans-fer from Silver Oak Academy, is penciled in as the starter to replace Aaron Overton as the team’s signal caller.
“I have some big shoes to fill,” Oliver said. “(Overton) was a great quarter-back. When I came, I was welcomed with open arms from Coach, Pete (Carter) and (linebacker Josh) Beasley since I transferred. Everybody’s expect-ing a lot from me. I hope I can make everybody happy.”
Saturday wasn’t the first time Johnson saw Oliver play. Oliver has participated with the team in 7-on-7 drills this offseason.
“I saw what he was able to do this sum-mer,” Johnson said. “Right now we’re just trying to get guys out here and get started.”
The numbers were low for Patterson’s first practice, as players continue to trickle in from summer vacation. Johnson said he’ll have to begin practice teaching more than the past few years so he can get the new starters up to speed.
Losing 18 seniors is tough for Johnson.
But since Patterson shared the city cham-pionship with Dunbar in 2010, it doesn’t hurt as much.
“[The championship] makes it a little easier to absorb,” Johnson said. “If you lose 18 seniors and you don’t win it makes it a lot tougher.”

Motorcycles for peace Saturday
Derrick Layton, a detective at the Southeastern District who is well-known to Guide readers for his arrests of many burglary suspects, has become increas-ingly concerned about the abuse of ani-mals in the city.
The case of Phoenix, the pit bull set on fire two years ago, made national news. There have been several, more recent, cases of cats set on fire. One of the cats was a mother nursing kittens.
“Animal abuse is a serious offense,” said Layton. “We want to show how serious we are about it.”
The link between animal abuse and vio-lence toward humans is well-known. Many children who mistreat animals will grow up to commit violence against humans.
So Layton has enlisted the Peacekeepers Motorcycle Club, a group of law enforce-ment and military motorcycle enthusiasts (he’s a member), and the Mayor’s Anti-Animal Abuse Advisory Commission (he’s a member) to join in a day of service and activities in Madison Square.
It’s scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 20, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. It will begin with a Ride for Peace down Pulaski Highway from the Harley Davidson store, and
will end at Bluford Drew Jemison Academy, 1130 N. Caroline St., next to Madison Square. Families attending the event at the school will have refreshments, play, see a demonstra-tion from the Sheriff Department’s canine unit, and see displays by BARCS, the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter, and the ASPCA.
Kids can play on the moon bounce and enjoy other fun activities.
Representatives of various agencies will hand out information about domestic vio-lence, child abuse and animal abuse.
“We want to show everyone that police don’t just run around locking people up,” said Layton. “We want to help.”
He also wants to make another thing clear--all of the money to fund the event is private. No public funds will be spent on the motorcycle ride or the festival at Madison Square.
“In fact we had to pay the city quite a bit to hold the event,” said Layton. The Peacekeepers Motorcycle Club raised more than $4,000 to fund the event, and many businesses are providing supplies at a steep discount.
Encouraged by the response, the Peacekeepers want to make this an annual event.

BRIDGE WILL BE CLOSED on or about AUGUST 22, 2011
Fort Avenue Bridge to close MondayThe city Depar tment of
Transportation will close the Fort Avenue Bridge on or shortly after Monday, Aug. 22.
The bridge is being closed for replacement and will be closed for 10 months to 1 year.
The announced completion date for the bridge replacement project is June 1, 2012.
The MTA number 1 bus, which trav-els through Locust Point south of the bridge will be rerouted beginning Aug. 22, according to MTA spokesman John Milton Wesley. The bus will travel on Fort Avenue south to Lawrence Street, then onto Key Highway East to Nicholson Street, then right on Hull Street and back to Fort Avenue.
The Baltimore Business Journal noted Monday that the Charm City Circulator, the f ree bus service with routes downtown, around the Inner Harbor and South Baltimore-Federal Hill, will open a line to Fort McHenry sometime in the next year. The route will be called the “Sta r Spangled Route” and is intended for tourists visiting Fort McHenry during the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
There was no word on when the line
would open, but it could prove useful for residents and businesses if it opens in the next few months.
For info and updates check www.fortavenuebridge.com, or on Twitter, @fortavebridge.
DOT promised a text-message ser-vice to residents and businesses when both detours are blocked by trains, but the service is not yet set up.
The Baltimore Guide will print peri-odic progress updates through the months the bridge is closed.

Do not ask us if we miss him;There’s such a vacant place,Oft we think we hear his footstepsAnd see his smiling face.Days of sadness still come over us, Tears in silence often flow.Memory keeps him ever near usThough he left us 14 years ago.
