BALTIMORE GUIDE 1WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2015

Alonzo Gorham-Ramos, the 16-year-old who plead guilty to the January 2014 murder of Highlandtown resident Kim Leto, is facing 45 years behind bars.

Last October, the Baltimore City Circuit Court determined that Gorham-Ramos was to be tried as an adult, despite the defense saying that his brain was not developed enough to be charged as an adult. Judge Philip Jackson said that the heinousness of such a crime outweighed the suspect’s age.

According to the State’s Attorney Office, the state had attempted to get a sentence of 60 years to life. This was later reduced. Gorham-Ramos was charged on seven counts including 1st and 2nd deg ree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and having a dangerous weapon with intent to injure.

Gorham-Ramos will be officially sentenced on January 26, 2016.

“It is so unfortunate that this woman senselessly lost her life at the hands of a

On the heels of Governor Larry Hogan’s announcement of a 30-year contract for the Port of Baltimore, Senator Barbara Mikulski introduced a bill to the House of Representatives that would increase spending for Maryland’s waterways.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 would allot $59 million to maintaining the Port of Baltimore and other state waterways while creating private sector jobs.

“These public investments in Maryland’s waterways create and sustain private sector jobs. This federal investment in the lives and livelihoods of those who depend on clean and open waterways will keep businesses open and keep Marylanders working. The Corps’ dredging of the Port of Baltimore keeps our economy rolling. The Port means jobs, from the dock workers who unload the ships to the manufacturers who rely on cargo transported by the ships. It’s also crucial in preparing us for the bigger ships that will soon be sailing through the widened Panama Canal. These investments make our country safer and Maryland’s economy stronger,” said Mikulski.

The bill will put aside $18.925 million for annual maintenance dredging of the Port of Baltimore shipping channels. The 50-foot deep channels will make the Port of Baltimore one of the only East Coast ports that can support the transportation of super container ships. The 175-mile canal will go up through the Chesapeake Bay from the Virginia Capes.

Another $325,000 will go towards removing trash and debris from the shipping channels. $26.5 million will go towards using that dredged materials to stabilize the shoreline and create wildlife habitats on Poplar Island as part of a restoration and development program for the island off the coast of Annapolis.

Mikulski said the Port of Baltimore creates over 14,000 direct jobs within the private sector. She called the port a “major economic engine for America and Maryland” that improves the local economy.

“These jobs generate $3 billion in salaries for hardworking Marylanders and their families and $304 million in state and local taxes. Among U.S. ports, Baltimore is the largest for international automobiles and receives the top rank for handling light trucks, farm and construction machinery, and imported forest products, sugar, aluminum, and gypsum,” states a press release from Mikulski.

$250,000 will also be given to the Chesapeake Bay Comprehensive Plan which is working to develop a plan for the restoration and conservation of the entire Chesapeake watershed. Another $1 million will be given to the Chesapeake Bay Oyster Restoration program. The program will use the money to create oyster-friendly habitats to increase oyster populations in the Chesapeake Bay.

The House of Representatives is currently considering the proposal. The Senate will get the bill by the end of the year.

Other funding in The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 includes money for improving the U.S. Coast Guard Yard at Curtis Bay and widening and modernizing marine access ways to Fort Meade.

“These federal funds will ensure that the Coast Guard can continue to do the work that is so crucial to America’s homeland security and the economic security of Maryland,” said Mikulski.

Earlier this month, Governor Hogan secured a 30-year contract with the global shipping company Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics to operate in the Port of Baltimore.

Hogan said this deal will generate over 13,000 jobs and $3 billion in personal wages.

“ “

The state’s sewage system is aged and overloaded…

If you’ve been near the Harbor waterfront in the past few weeks, you’ve probably noticed that it doesn’t exactly smell like peppermint and freshly-baked cookies.

A report by the Environmental Integrity Project believes that the stink is due to gallons of sewage being dumped into the water.

The report states that over 5 years, approximately 330 million gallons of sewage have flowed into the Jones Falls, which funnels directly into the Inner Harbor.

The 100-year-old sewage system was designed so that overflow goes into the nearest water source. Since then, there have been calls to stop this practice. Of the 62 overflow valves, 60 have been shut off. The remaining two are responsible for the Jones Falls contamination which is only made worse during periods of heavy rain.

The overflow, a mixture of raw sewage and stormwater, is environmentally disastrous, as well as dangerous, according to the report.

“The Inner Harbor generates over $2 billion a year in tourism and business activity, but untreated human waste, with its odors and

pathogens, continues to drag down the harbor’s potential,” states the report. “The levels of fecal bacteria in the Inner Harbor – where adults kayak and children and their parents play in dragon boats – exceed safe levels for limited water contact recreation at least 35 percent of the time.”

It goes on to say that the bacteria Enterococcus, which can be the cause of a variety of infections, has increased to over 400 times the safe level in the Harbor.

Within the report is testimony from Ed Bouwer, an expert on water quality at Johns Hopkins University and Chair of the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering. Bouwer believes that warning signs should be put in place near the Harbor to alert residents of health threats.

“I’ve seen kayakers on the water, and they have no idea. It would certainly be prudent to do that [for the city to raise health warning signs] because then people would be able to avoid direct contact with the water,” said Bouwer.

There is a call for transparency and increased public notification, he said, since many people aren’t aware of what’s in the

water and the associated risks. He echos the concerns from other

environmental agencies that sewer leakage is underreported by the city.

The state’s sewage system is aged and overloaded and, as a result, hundreds of complaints have come in about sewage backup in residential areas.

“City homeowners also suffer from the continuing sewage overflows, as wastewater frequently backs up into their basements and ruins their properties. Baltimore residents have filed 413 claims with the city for financial damages caused by sewage overflows over the last three years, but the city has only paid 9 percent (38 total) of these claims,” reports the Environmental Integrity Project.

It adds that the city has increased water bills for residents to pay for sewer repairs that may not actually be happening.

Baltimore City is required through a consent order from the Environmental Protection Agency to end all sewer overflows by January 1, 2016, by fixing and replacing most of the pipes. The city has already replaced over 163 miles of sewage lines as of October, which is still only half of the all the

lines needing repairs. The city has requested a time extension to complete the project.

If the city does get the extension, the Environmental Integrity Project suggests more recommendations to be added, such as the closure of the remaining overflow valves and more transparency on where money is being spent for the project.

The Environmental Integrity Project is a non-profit organization that enforcing the laws set up by the EPA.

The Baltimore Guide’s former office gets its chakras realigned with an opening of a new holistic healing center.

When the Baltimore Guide relocated, we knew we would be leaving our former Highlandtown home at 526 S. Conkling St. in good hands.

The location, which has housed the Guide for close to a century, will be given new life with the opening of PURE Integrated Health Services Foundation, a non-profit that promotes holistic healing and naturally integrated health plans. They will also offer specialized programs for children and those in the public sector, like police officers and firefighters.

“Holistic healing addresses all parts of the individual, mind/body/spirit, not just the physical aspect of a person where manifested illnesses are most apparent. Holistic healing is not intended to serve as a band-aid or a one-time fix. It is an ongoing journey of discovery in search of more answers and ultimately living better, being healthier, and striving for wholeness,” said Terry Fisher, PURE’s founder.

PURE will offer a variety of therapies, such as acupuncture, reflexology, infrared saunas for detoxification, and crystal healing. PURE will also host meditation groups and grief coaching as well as a variety of workshops.

Fisher is certified in the arts of Reiki and Quantum-Touch which are systems of breathing exercises that she said realigns one’s energies, reduces stress and anxiety and boosts energy levels. PURE’s ‘A Child’s Way’ program was created for teenagers who will learn how to manage the onslaught of emotions and frustrations they feel as they go through puberty. Fisher employs breathing techniques, physical movements like yoga, and meditation, to ease the stress of children during such a stressful time.

“A person who embraces the desire to find wholeness within his own being soon learns the importance of tending to relationships, caring for the planet and our environments, having compassion for humankind in general, and accepting and tolerating differences among a diverse population of people,” she said.

Fisher had gotten involved in holistic healing after being diagnosed with Diabetes II. She began juicing and removed refined

sugar and starch from her diet and soon saw how her overall health improved. Her father lived for years after a cancer diagnosis by changing his diet and maintaining an optimistic attitude, she said.

“Physical pain many times is a secondary condition, not the primary root of the problem. Physical illnesses are the symptoms of a greater imbalance that may or may not have a root cause in the physical, it could be nutrition or emotional. The holistic healer recognizes that our discomforts or pains are merely symptoms of an imbalance. The imbalance could be a physical issue, the result of abusing the physical body through an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, or too little sleep. Or, ones energy imbalance may be the result of mental, emotional, or spiritual needs not being met. No aspect (mind, body, spirit, or emotions) of a person is overlooked when an holistic approach is sought,” said Fisher.

Fisher began her healing path by opening her first location in Fell’s Point at 1724 Aliceanna St. in 2012, an endeavor that she called a “leap of faith.” She said she has watched hundreds of her customers come in

lethargic and overwhelmed and then left rejuvenated and repaired.

She tells the story of one of her patients, a woman in her 60s with severe arthritis. After crystal treatments and a reflexology program, the woman no longer has to use a cane, can walk more freely, and has even joined a bowling league.

“Your body will heal itself if you provide it the opportunity to heal. Holistic healing is a journey and one must be willing to may changes and have the desire to heal,” she said.

Fisher added that in order for the treatments to be successful, you must make significant lifestyle change and stick to the program. There isn’t a quick and easy fix.

The move to Highlandtown will give PURE the extra space they need for their extended programming and the expanding number of customers.

“We meditated, prayed for a great space to make a difference in a community, for those wanting to make changes in their life,” she said.

Fisher is hopeful that PURE will be open by the start of the new year.

“Now having my horizons opened to energy healing with love and light, I know that I can still help without being a medical doctor. Thanks to these wonderful ancient healing arts, I have the privilege to do what I’ve always loved to do; help others and also myself by bringing the love and light to all who want to receive it.”

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Airlines stock a year ago, you would have $49.00 left. With Fanny Mae, you would have $2.50 left of

the original $1000.00. With AIG, you would have less than $15.00 left. But if you had purchased

$1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for aluminum recycling refund,

you would have $214.00 CASH!!!

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink often and

recycle. Its called theKING LIQUORS 401-KEG PLAN!

Tinsel & RibbonsTinsel and ribbons are not specifically

toxic, but can be very enticing to pets especially cats. If ingested, they can become a foreign body and obstruct the intestines. Sometimes they can thread from the stomach through the intestines which is known as a linear foreign body, which may require surgery.

Holiday Lighting:Decorating your home with lights might

expose your pets to more electrical wires than they are used to. If they were to chew on wires it could cause electrical shock, tongue/mouth lacerations, and possibly death. Keep extra wiring out of reach or taped down.

Ornaments:Be careful using glass and aluminum

ornaments/decorations on your tree. They can shatter if knocked off the tree or chewed on. The broken pieces can get stuck in the pads of your pet’s feet or cause lacerations of the esophagus or GI tract if ingested.

Christmas Tree:Make sure to put the tree in a safe location

and possibly anchor it to prevent it from being knocked over. Also, the water from the tree stand may contain bacteria that can cause GI upset, so prevent your pets from drinking from the stand.

Holiday Safety for your Pets

PET CAREBy Adriene Buisch

Holiday PlantsMistletoe, Holly, Poinsettias, and Lilies are

all considered toxic if ingested. Mistletoe causes cardiovascular problems, shock, GI upset, and possible death. Holly can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Poinsettias cause GI upset and lilies can cause kidney failure in cats.

Holiday CandlesDon’t leave lit candles unattended. Make

sure they are secure and on a stable surface to prevent pets from knocking them over and causing a fire.

New Year’s Eve Safety: Wear them out! Try to play and wear out

your pets prior to festivities. It could help them sleep through loud celebrations like fireworks.

Safe space! Keep your pets in a quiet and familiar place to reduce the stress from noisy celebrations.

Fireworks! Make sure your pet has an ID tag on or if your pet is microchipped, make sure it is registered. Pets can bolt and hide while trying to escape from the loud sound of fireworks.

Party Pets! Make sure that alcohol, festive foods, and decorations are out of reach. Alcohol and certain foods are extremely toxic. Make sure all decorations are out of reach. Alcohol and certain foods are extremely toxic. Decorations, if eaten, can cause an obstruction in your pet’s GI tract.

LETO MURDER: sentencingCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

misguided child. I pray her family, friends, and the community feel some sense of peace knowing this perpetrator is being held accountable,” said State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby in a statement about the case.

Leto, 51, was a bartender at O’Donnell’s Pub and was well-known and loved by the community. Her murder had devastated the neighborhood who was shocked that such a violent crime could happen in their backyards.

She was found dead in her home on the 500 block of S. Ellwood Ave. on the morning of January 31, 2014. According to police reports, she suffered significant trauma due to multiple stab wounds to her upper torso and back. The police determined that Gorham-Ramos and an accomplice, 16-year-old Allen Pinkney, had stabbed Leto during a failed robbery attempt.

Gorham-Ramos pleaded guilty to killing Leto after being shown photographs of his bloody shoe prints at the scene of the crime that the police had produced. DNA testing had also revealed the victim’s blood on the pants of Gorham-Ramos.

The documents of the case state that both Pinkney and Gorham-Ramos gave “detailed statements with intimate knowledge of the crime scene to include the location of the

victim’s body and the property stolen from the residence.” According to the suspects, they placed a pillow over Leto’s head when she woke up. After stabbing Leto 11 times with a kitchen knife, they picked up some items from the location and fled. Leto’s boyfriend later found her unresponsive in a pool of blood after hearing a man’s voice downstairs.

In the summer of 2013, Gorham-Ramos had been arrested for a burglary at the same location. Allegedly, Leto awoke that evening to find Gorham-Ramos in her home stealing electronics. His fingerprints were found at the scene.

Video footage from a nearby grocery store showed Pickney and Gorham-Ramos using a CoinStar machine with money from Leto’s home.

“Our homicide detectives worked tirelessly from the start to find those responsible and bring them to justice. There is a loss of life and two lives thrown away. It is unacceptable to see family after family ripped apart by such petty behavior. This is a heartbreaking tragedy on so many levels.” said former Police Commissioner Anthony Batts when the news of the murder first came out.

Pickney’s sentencing trial is scheduled for February 2.

We will cover the case as more information becomes available.

16-year-old Alonzo Gorham-Ramos pleaded guilty to the 2014 murder of Highlandtown resident, Kim Leto. He is facing 45 years in jail. His sentencing is next month. | Photo courtesy of the Baltimore Police Department.

BIRDS HOUSE by Andy MindzAk

All I want for Christmas…

Dear Santa,

I wanted to write you to let you know what I would like for The Orioles for Christmas this year. They have been very nice this year and the past few years to be exact. They have been so exceptionally nice that they have been letting other teams win the World Series since 1983. With that in mind St. Nick, here is a short list of some things I would like for The Orioles this year (oh, and by the way, thanks for the early present of us re-signing O’Day):

A first baseman whose name rhymes with Shmis Mavis.

An agent who will be willing to negotiate for said first baseman.

An owner who will be willing to pay money for said first baseman.

A quality left-handed starter.

A quality left-handed starter who has the ability to last longer than 5 innings.

A quality left-handed starter who is NOT Scott Kazmir.

A true front-line ace whether by trade or Chris Tillman regaining his 2014 form.

Kevin Gausman realizing his potential for an entire season.

At least one of the young prospects performing well enough to make the team and contribute (I’m looking at you Dylan Bundy).

Can you please have Hyun-soo Kim produce for us like he did in Korea?

Not to be greedy, but could you bring back Nick Markakis? No? Okay fine, but could they get at least get another quality outfielder?

Just in case, can The Orioles get another quality starting pitcher?

Okay, that’s my list for now. It’s not asking too much. Don’t forget how The Orioles have been kind and letting other teams win the World Series for over 30 years.

Thanks again Santa!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!Sincerely,Andy Mindzak
