Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake Announces Expansion of Program Credited With Reducing Gun Violence in City Neighborhoods
New study shows the Safe Streets Baltimore program is a successful replication of Chicago’s CeaseFire violence prevention initiative.
BALTIMORE, MD (January 11, 2011)—Today, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced the expansion of the successful Safe Streets Baltimore initiative. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was approved this morning by the Board of Estimates. The expansion of Safe Streets Baltimore is supported by the release today of a new study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health demonstrating the program’s effectiveness.
In September, the Health Department announced that Safe Streets received a $2.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The three-year award is part of OJJDP’s Community-Based Violence Prevention Demonstration Program, which provides funding for multi-strategy, multi-disciplinary approaches to reduce gun violence. The funding will also be used to expand the Safe Streets Baltimore initiative to two additional communities that are disproportionately impacted by violence. Interested community groups can review the RFP at baltimorehealth.org/rfp.html.
“Safe Streets is an important component of our citywide strategy to reduce homicides and gun violence, and a key to our plans to grow the city,” Mayor Rawlings-Blake said. “By expanding this effective initiative, we help people build social capital and empower communities.”
While the new funding supports the addition of new communities to Safe Streets Baltimore, the City needs partners to provide support in order to continue operating the program in its current locations in McElderry Park and Cherry Hill. Mayor Rawlings-Blake called on local faith, non‑profit, and business communities to lend their support to this vital initiative.
Safe Streets Baltimore was launched by the Baltimore City Health Department in 2007 as a replication of Chicago’s CeaseFire program. The evidence-based, public health initiative targets high-risk youth ages 14 to 25 and employs and trains outreach professionals to de-escalate and mediate disputes that might otherwise result in serious violence. Staff members serve as positive role models and direct youth toward services and opportunities to live productive, violence-free lives. In addition, staff work to mobilize neighborhoods to promote nonviolence.
At this morning’s press conference, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health released a study demonstrating the effectiveness of Safe Streets Baltimore. The study is slated for publication in a future edition of the Journal of Urban Health. The authors have received permission from the journal to release the findings in advance of publication.
From July 2007 through December 2010, outreach staff mediated 276 disputes, ranging from one to four mediations per month in each of the four neighborhoods where the program was implemented. The vast majority of these disputes involved situations where the risk of gun violence was high, such as disputes between armed gang members. Outreach workers at each of the sites were working closely with 35 to 60 high-risk youth at any given time. Safe Streets Baltimore also held monthly events to promote non-violence. These events typically attracted between 100 and 200 people with the goal of promoting alternatives to resolving conflicts.
“This study demonstrates clearly that a public health intervention can be a successful means for reducing youth violence,” said Commissioner of Health Dr. Oxiris Barbot. “Thanks to the recent award from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), we are excited to expand this program to other communities and extend our message that gun violence is not acceptable.”
The Johns Hopkins researchers identified specific programmatic factors related to success in reducing violence. “The results suggest that the number of conflicts mediated by the outreach workers was associated with greater program impact on homicides,” said Daniel Webster, lead author of the study and deputy director of the Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence.
Other key findings of the study include:
In all four neighborhoods (McElderry Park, Elwood Park, Madison-Eastend, and Cherry Hill) the program was associated with a statistically significant decline in either homicides or nonfatal shootings, or both.
Overall, researchers estimated the program prevented at least 5 homicide incidents and 35 nonfatal shooting incidents. Had there not been increases in homicides following program implementation in Madison-Eastend and a neighborhood bordering Elwood Park—which were likely unrelated to the program—the program is estimated to have prevented 15 homicides in four of the most violent neighborhoods in Baltimore.
In the South Baltimore neighborhood Cherry Hill, the program was associated with a 56 percent decline in homicides and a 34 percent decline in nonfatal shootings.
The program was associated with a 34 percent drop in nonfatal shootings in Elwood Park.
Researchers estimated that Safe Streets Baltimore was responsible for a 26 percent reduction in homicides in McElderry Park over the nearly three and a half years the program was in place. This site did not experience a homicide during the first 23 months of program implementation.
The study was funded primarily through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to Johns Hopkins through the CDC’s designated Academic Centers of Excellence in the prevention of youth violence.
The annual cost of operating a Safe Streets Baltimore site is approximately $375,000. Safe Streets Baltimore is currently located in two communities: McElderry Park and Cherry Hill, however funding for these sites ends in June. The Health Department will use these positive evaluation results to seek additional funding for sustaining these sites.

🇺🇸 🇷🇴 Suntem împreună în această luptă!
Statele Unite și România au luptat cot la cot în unele dintre cele mai ostile teatre de operațiuni din vremurile noastre, iar acum ne luptăm cu încă un dușman comun – COVID-19.
Azi, @USEUCOM a donat aproape 18.000 de teste rapide Serviciului de Ambulanță București-Ilfov, pentru a-l sprijini să ajute mai departe comunitatea și pe noi toți care numim această zonă „acasă”. Sub auspiciile Programului de asistență umanitară al Biroului pentru cooperare în domeniul apărării, coordonatorul Programului de parteneriat cu statul Alabama și consilierul pe probleme bilaterale, locotenent-colonelul Baltz și partenerii săi români - maistrul militar clasa a III-a Ionescu, caporalul Schuster și doamna Negoiță au livrat testele.
Programul de parteneriat cu statul a ajutat la crearea unei cooperări bilaterale de neclintit în materie de securitate și a nenumărate relații interpersonale care fac posibile toate reușitele diplomatice. Faptul că programul se axează pe asistență umanitară, schimburi regulate, sprijin reciproc și împărtășirea celor mai bune practici a adus beneficii ambelor națiuni și a îmbunătățit foarte mult interoperabilitatea în cei aproape treizeci de ani în care Garda Națională a Statului Alabama și România au fost parteneri sub incidența sa. Lt. Col. Baltz a surprins foarte bine spiritul parteneriatului și al prieteniei, și la momentul livrării testelor, a declarat: „Suntem alături și vom fi în continuare alături de prietenul și aliatul nostru, România”.

🇺🇸 🇷🇴 We are in this struggle together.
The United States and Romania have stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the most hostile theaters of our time, and now we fight another common enemy—COVID 19.
Today, our United States European Command donated nearly 18,000 rapid COVID-19 test kits to the Bucharest/Ilfov Ambulance Services to help them as they help their community, and all of us who call the area home. Under the auspices of the Office of Defense Cooperation’s Humanitarian Assistance Program the Chief of the Alabama State Partnership Program and Bilateral Affairs Officer, Lt Col Baltz, and his partners, Romanian Chief Warrant Officer Ionescu, Corporal Schuster and Ms. Negotia delivered the kits.
The State Partnership Program has helped forge both an unshakeable bilateral security partnership and the countless people-to-people relationships that make all diplomatic successes possible. The program’s focus on humanitarian assistance, regular exchanges, mutual support, and the sharing of best practices, has benefited both our nations and greatly improved our interoperability in the nearly thirty years that the Alabama National Guard and Romania have partnered under it. The spirit of that partnership and friendship was well captured by Lt Col Baltz who stated upon delivery of the kits, “We are, and we continue to be here for our Romanian friend and ally.”

BALTIMORE, MD (January 11, 2011)—Today, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced the expansion of the successful Safe Streets Baltimore initiative.

The Theatre Arts Program’s fall production, BURY THE DEAD, written by Irwin Shaw in 1936, is set “in the second year of the war that is to begin tomorrow night.” The scene is an unnamed battlefield somewhere in the world that also serves as the gravesite for six dead American soldiers. About to be interred, the six young soldiers stand up in their shared grave and plead not to be buried. This crisis is the focus of Shaw’s harrowing and deeply moving and provocative play, directed by Theatre Arts faculty member, Dr. James F. Schlatter, Can a war ever end if the dead won’t be buried? The play will be performed by an ensemble company.

It was a magic season for the Syracuse Academy of Science girls basketball team.
The #SASAtoms accomplished a lot - winning the program's first Section III title and advancing to the state final four.
SAS missed out on only one goal, as Section IX champion Millbrook bested the Atoms, 67-64, in overtime in the Class C state championship game at Hudson Valley Community College.
"We came up short, but we accomplished a whole lot," #SASCS coach Reggie Pickard said after his team came out on the short end of the 4-minute extra session, during which the Atoms led three times before surrendering the final four points. "Overtime game, we lost to a great team, a well-coached team."
SAS, who finish 19-5, lost despite a determined effort from senior Lyrik Jackson, who led the Atoms with 24 points and 15 rebounds, and junior Diamonne Harris, who added 23 points.
"She made a big difference," Pickard said.
Millbrook led the whole way, until there was just one minute left in regulation. A basket by Jackson tied the game at 54-54.
The Blazers pushed the lead back to four points with 34 seconds left, but SAS got a pair of free throws from Jackson to pull within two and 6-0 sophomore Erykah Pasha sent the game into overtime by converting two free throws with no time left on the clock after she was fouled on a put back attempt at the buzzer.
The Atoms led three times in the extra session - 60-59, 62-61 and 64-63 - before the Blazers got their final points from reserve junior forward Claire Martell, who hit a basket and two free throws in the final 45 seconds.
Pickard said he told his players to keep their heads high.
"I just told them they had no reason to hang their heads," said Pickard, who started the varsity program at SAS in 2010. "We set a goal at the beginning of the season. We reached our goal, but we just came up short."
Pickard said his all-state senior, Jackson, was all heart.
"She played hurt. She twisted her ankle early on. Her shoulder was still sore from the fall yesterday. She was banged up. But she gave it her all. She gave it her heart," he said.
The coach said he hoped the Atoms would be back, albeit probably in a higher classification. Nearly everyone associated with Section III basketball expects that SAS will be moved up in class by the competition committee.

Students and faculty in UF Law’s Environmental and Land Use Law Program’s Spring Break Field Course explored the diverse marine and coastal ecoregion shared by South Florida and the Bahamian archipelago.
The purpose of the week-long course, led by Tom Ankersen, Florida Sea Grant's Legal Specialist, was to provide students a firm grounding in the law, policy and practice of coastal and marine sustainable development through field-based immersion, practitioner lectures, and reflective discussions.
The group traveled from the intensely developed waterfront of Biscayne Bay to the bustling government center of Nassau in the Bahamas, and then on to the quiet, rural family island of Andros, bounded by the great Bahama Bank and the Tongue of the Ocean. While there is a world of difference between the two neighbors separated by the Gulf Stream, they share a remarkably similar ecosystem facing many of the same threats, and common language of the common law.
This year’s Spring Break Field course furthers the UF Law Conservation Clinic’s South Florida Bahamas ecoregional initiative supported by Florida Sea Grant, and in partnership with the Bahamas National Trust.

Batman: Animated
by Mark Allen
As a long-time comics enthusiast, the only thing that excites me as much as exceptional comics or comics-related material is a great coffee table book ABOUT exceptional comics or comics-related material. Thus, I present to you Batman: Animated. Although nearly a decade old, the book covers one of the most successful animated franchises ever, Batman: The Animated Series. No surprise that it’s directly inspired by one of the most recognizable comic book characters in history. This is not the only reason the book is worth mention, however.
The brainchild of Paul Dini and Chip Kidd, as rabid a couple of Batman fans as you would find in any comics shop, the book is filled with some of the behind-the-scenes history of the program’s origins, early character sketches and studies, story boards and background paintings, as well as information on actors and actresses that voiced the characters, the orchestrated music which graced the program, and photographic documentation on much of the mountain of merchandise inspired by the program. The book puts into perspective the impressive pervasiveness of the program’s influence on society. Additionally, considering the fact that the animated series presented a much greater portion of society than just comics fans with one of the purest, most honest and essential versions of Batman as has ever been seen anywhere, the importance of such a book becomes clear.
If I were given one wish for the book, however, it would be interviews with key individuals involved with the series. Writers, artists, even actors, some of whom were fans of Batman comics and proved it with the level of enthusiasm they brought to their roles. The book is still a gem, however, and worth seeking out.
Batman: Animated is recommended for fans of the animated series , as well as those interested in television history and production. You can still find it in some comics shops, as well as online auctions and retailers.

South Carolina National Guard Soldiers, and fire department/EMS rescuers with the S.C. Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team (SC-HART) program, S.C. Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 (SC-TF1), perform hoist-training operations during the preliminary phases of “Patriot South Exercise 2017” (Patriot South 17), a joint training-exercise focused on natural disaster-response and preparedness, Gulfport and Port Bienville Industrial Complex (PBIC), Mississippi, Jan. 29, 2017. Patriot South 17 is taking place at multiple locations across Mississippi, from January 23 through February 7, 2017, and it offers the National Guard and its local and federal partners a realistic-training opportunity to test response capabilities, procedures, and readiness through a simulated earthquake and Tsunami scenario “hitting the coastal areas of the state.” Specifically, in preparation for future operations, South Carolina’s Headquarters and Headquarters and (-) Company A 2-151st Security and Support Aviation Battalion, 59th Aviation Troop Command, deployed both its current HART-capable platforms, the UH-60L Black Hawk utility helicopter and its LUH-72A Lakota light utility helicopter--the latter being a recent addition to the HART program for South Carolina.

Students and faculty in UF Law’s Environmental and Land Use Law Program’s Spring Break Field Course explored the diverse marine and coastal ecoregion shared by South Florida and the Bahamian archipelago.
The purpose of the week-long course, led by Tom Ankersen, Florida Sea Grant's Legal Specialist, was to provide students a firm grounding in the law, policy and practice of coastal and marine sustainable development through field-based immersion, practitioner lectures, and reflective discussions.
The group traveled from the intensely developed waterfront of Biscayne Bay to the bustling government center of Nassau in the Bahamas, and then on to the quiet, rural family island of Andros, bounded by the great Bahama Bank and the Tongue of the Ocean. While there is a world of difference between the two neighbors separated by the Gulf Stream, they share a remarkably similar ecosystem facing many of the same threats, and common language of the common law.
This year’s Spring Break Field course furthers the UF Law Conservation Clinic’s South Florida Bahamas ecoregional initiative supported by Florida Sea Grant, and in partnership with the Bahamas National Trust.
