Eastside Derby Girls: Southeast Michigan's 'Sorority-on-Wheels'

I met 'MotorCity Kitty' last year and her team at one of their doubleheader's last year and again We joined them for one of their fundraisers Dinners a few months ago.

Our third meeting was to organized our Camera Crew going to their 'StarWars' double-header bout on May 4th at 4pm at The New Rink in Shelby Township, Michigan.

The Gadfly is using a professional Documentary/Social Media Crew to cover the Star Wars bout. We came to the practice Sunday to check out the lighting and speak to Kitty and her team about the bout.

We surveyed were to have the Camera placements and other technical talk of interviews, lighting and mounting small mobile cameras on certain people in the bout.

Our meeting started off in the smaller, back Rink were their practice was being held. We had a blast even just going over technical stuff. We met 2 of the 'IT Department', as they jokingly called themselves. They were working on the Social Media aspects for the team.

We had a nice chat with one of the Referees about his start in Roller Derby. He attended his first bout as a fan and soon was asked to be a Referee because of his interest! 
Skates- Tools of the trade for Roller Derby! Thanks Kitty!


We learned there are 7 Referees for the bouts with different jobs:

  • 2 Jammer Refs (one for each Jammer)
  • 2 Inside Refs (Front and Back of Track)
  • 3 Outside refs (Various Tasks)
The Gadfly is Executive Producer of a Mini-Documentary were are creating on THE EASTSIDE DERBY GIRLS! I are bringing a professional & experienced crew to tape their 'May the Fourth be With You'

RESPECTED SECURITY ORGANIZATION HONORS DETROIT POLICE CHIEF CRAIG

Police Chief James Craig and Retired FBI & Penske Security Vice-President Richard Deslauriers spoke and were honored at the March meeting of the world's preeminent Security Organization, The American Society of Industrial Security. on March 13th, 2014.

Craig has always been a 'risk-taker'. He was a Patrolman in Detroit in 1977 and worked up the ranks at several other cities: 
  1. Detroit 
  2. Los Angeles 
  3. Cincinnati 
  4. Portland
He says Detroit is numb to crime. He wants to change this feeling and trend. And it seems to be working as:
  • Homicide clearance rate went from 11% to 90%
  • Homicides are down 14%
  • End of 2013 Detroit had 334 Homicides (equal to New York)
  • Crime reduction overall as of 3-13-14 is 23%
Chief Craig is dedicated to achieving success. He stressed several prongs to the gathered Professional Law Enforcement and Private Security Managers present:

  • Forming Partnerships with the Citizens & Private Security, He was successful in California with working with the University of Southern California 
  • 'Laser-like' way against Gang violence
  • Forming relationships- He has okayed 'Moonlighting' for Officers; Talking to and understanding all citizens (In Portland he worked with the Somali Community); talking to CEO's of Corporations in the City.
No more 'Status Quo' for the City of Detroit. Some goals were not reached like reaching the best 911 response time, but it's getting better he says. Special Units like the "Major Investigations Squad" are doing great- recently catching the alleged perps in the "CVS" murder that happened recently in Detroit.
