Town Planners Approve Library, Senior Center Project
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
After a lengthy presentation from proj-
ect ofcials the planning commission for
the Town of Leonardtown approved the
nal site plan for the combined library and
senior project in the Leonards Grant com-
munity on Hollywood Road.
The entire complex is designed to be
48,000 square feet in size with 30,000
square feet for the library portion and the
remaining 18,000 square feet going to the
senior center.
Most of St. Marys
Back To Work
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The unemployment rate for St. Marys
County stands at 3.5 percent according to
the latest gures from the states Depart-
ment of Labor Licensing and Regulation,
returning to its former low levels before
the nationwide recession hit in 2008 after
the collapse of several nancial institu-
tions due to sub-prime mortgages.
Unemployment reached its highest lev-
els here in 2010 at about 7 percent and
uctuated around that level through 2012.
State gures show that unemployment
in St. Marys has fallen steadily since
then; the lowest unemployment rate was
2.5 percent shortly before 2008.
At 3.5 percent unemployment, thats
a success, said Chris Kaselemis, di-
rector of the Department of Economic
Development.
But the economic indicators are not all
positive, Kaselemis and his deputy Robin
Finnacom told The County Times.
The problem, Finnacom said, was that
local middle class jobs that had evapo-
rated during the recession had largely not
returned and the poverty rate, according
to census gures from 2015 as reported
by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis,
had risen from 7 to about 8 percent in St.
Marys.
When we look at the poverty level
we nd that these people cant compete for
those high end jobs, Finnacom said.
The County Times
According to the project head for
Grimm and Parker, Antonio Robelo, who
made the presentation to the town plan-
ning commission, maximum use of natu-
ral sunlight was a chief design feature of
the sprawling facility, which includes steel
construction as well as a brick faade.
The large windows of the facil-
ity bring in the natural sunlight, he ex-
plained, and would be used to help lower
electricity usage.
Many of those jobs were attached to the
military and defense contractor industry
and civil service positions, she said, with
the average civil servant at Patuxent River
Naval Air Station earning over $100,000
a year.
Weve had a shrinking middle class
we reect that trend nationwide, she said.
To help remedy that situation the county
is working to construct its new small busi-
ness incubator, in the hopes of recouping
middle class jobs.
Its about creating new businesses in-
stead of just luring them here, Kaselemis
said.
The incubator runs by entrepreneurs
paying an up front fee to rent space at the
facility which they can use to get their
business up and running; in some cases
providing laboratory space for research
and development of products.
Kaselemis said that facility, to be lo-
cated at the St. Marys County Airport,
should be completed by the end of the
summer.
Everything we do now is focused on
getting those middle-income jobs back,
Finnacom said.

Tier 3 is the highest such level with Tier
1 registrants required to be on the list for 10
years and Tier 2 registrants have to stay on
for 25 years.
The number of sex offenders in St. Marys
uctuates almost daily, said Capt. Edward
Willenborg, commander of the Criminal
Investigations Division, but now stands at

offender category.
D0-it-Yourself Summer Projects Keeping track of the number of sex of-
fenders in the county is a signicant priority,
he said, but the job is a taxing one.
Currently he has one full time detective
tasked to the assignment, Willenborg said,
with a civilian coordinator to log reports
of where registrants live and their places of
employment.
Such information is available on the
states sex offender registry.
We do more than the state requires to
keep track of them, Willenborg told The
County Times. Theyre known to re-offend.
Our numbers are actually down; about
the same time last year we had about 130

The sheriffs ofce often relies on state
grant funding to fund the coordinators posi-
tion as well as overtime pay for the detective
and patrol deputies to track all sex offenders,
Willenborg said.
There are currently three sex offenders
wanted for failing to register properly, he
said, and all of them are Tier 3 registrants.
The states sex offender registry shows
there are 99 registrants in Calvert County
and 159 in Charles County.

Bill Hunt Named Land Use and

Corrections For Lexington Growth Management Director
Park Plan Continue
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The countys information technol-
ogy chief told the Commissioners of St.
Marys County Tuesday that the process
of correcting zoning errors for the Lex-
ington Park Development District Master
Plan is half finished.
But Bob Kelly also told them that there
are likely errors still to be found in the
countys GIS (geographical informa-
tion system) that must be corrected if the
county can successfully link up with the
states coming next generation emergency
call response system.
The problems in the master plan first
started cropping up when zoning mis-
takes were found involving parcels for a
The standards were haphazard,
Kelly said. We need to get our ad-
dresses and boundaries correct.
Doing this will ensure that first respond-
ers get to the right address of emergencies,
Kelly said, and in the instance of a 911 call
from a cellular phone responders would
be able to hone in on the location of the
phones transmission.
The GIS system has a tremendous
amount of information, Kelly said, in-
cluding electronic links to documents
such as recordation plats and property
assessments.
Weve had 4.3 million documents
scanned in in the last 10 years, Kelly said.
Following a nationwide search, the Com-
missioners of St. Marys County have ap-
pointed Bill Hunt director of Land Use and
Growth Management (LUGM). His ap-
pointment is effective June 30.
Mr. Hunt stepped into the role of interim
director following the retirement of Phil
Shire in January. Previously he had served
as LUGM deputy director since December
2012.
I am excited about getting started with
meeting the immediate challenge of imple-
menting the Lexington Park Plan and coor-
dinating this with the Department of Eco-
nomic Development and the stakeholder
businesses and residents in the development
district, said Hunt. I also look forward to
the duties of the Calvert-St. Marys Metro-
politan Planning Organization as transpor-
tation continues to expand with new federal
and state requirements.
Prior to his arrival Mr. Hunt was the Prin-
cipal Planner and headed the Planning Divi-
sion in Lake County, Illinois from 2000 to
2010. He began his career as an urban plan-
ner in Ocala, Florida in 1984 and was pro-
moted to Planning Director before departing
in 2000.
We are extremely fortunate to have Bill
Hunt serve as our new LUGM director,
said Commissioner President Randy Guy.
Though there were a number of excellent
candidates, the commissioners believe Mr.
Hunt is uniquely qualified to handle the
land use issues before us here in St. Marys
County.
Mr. Hunts annual salary will be $130,000.

Since then the countys information

The COA serves at the discretion of the
Commissioners of St. Marys County to
represent the senior citizen community. The
COA consists of volunteers appointed by the
County Commissioners. The purpose of the
Commission on Aging is to provide the Com-
missioners of St. Marys County with advice
and assistance concerning county programs
and resources offered for the senior residents
of St. Marys County and how to work with
the community to develop awareness and
understanding of the problems and concerns
of the senior population.
According to the U. S. Census, Maryland
Department of Planning, July 2014 Revised
July 2015, St. Marys County is one of the
fastest growing senior communities in the
state of Maryland. The COA is an integral
local senior activity centers (Garvey, North-
ern and Loffler) annually to listen, support
and act on the concerns of our senior citizens
in addition to visits to other facilities that as-
sist our senior population (i.e., NewTowne
Village, St. Marys Medical Adult Day Care,
Lexington Park Adult Community, Victory
Woods, Cedar Lane).
The challenge is providing public aware-
ness. The COA Outreach Committee along
with the assistance of the Department of
Aging and Human Services offer public
meetings and a community outreach Road

Parking Lot Repairs to Impact
Availability of Spaces
Parking lots at county government
owned and buildings and facilities will be
undergoing repairs during the remainder
of June. Lots are being seal coated in phas-
es so as to minimize impact to employees
and visitors.
Today (June 16) visitors to the Govern-
mental Center campus in Leonardtown
may experience some difficulty finding a
parking space near the Chesapeake and
Potomac Buildings and Garvey Senior Ac-
tivity Center. Contractors are re-lining the
parking lots adjacent to those buildings.
The STS bus stop on the Governmental
Center campus is temporarily relocated.
Signage will direct riders to where they
may pick up an STS bus.
Parking adjacent to the Board of Elec-
tions location in Leonardtown will be lim-
ited due to initial seal coating of that lot.
Work at that location should be completed
by Saturday. Lot closures are being phases
so as to ensure a sufficient supply of park-
ing spaces.
Below is a complete list of the dates
and parking locations contractors will be

The Tackle Box Fishing Report
By Ken and Linda Lamb
Special to The County Times
Rockfish, spot and trout were caught
this week in good numbers all over south-
ern Maryland waters.
Rockfish are in the Patuxent for lure
casters most everywhere on structures in
the shallows. Jiggers on the stone piles,
wrecks, and Solomons Island bridge pil-
ings are finding very good action on tide
changes and at dusk and dawn. There are
plenty of undersized fish, but patience will
allow a limit most days, and an out-sized
fish close to 40 inches is a possibility.
Trollers find rockfish that want to play on
the oyster bars and at Sheridan Point. Top
water plugs will tempt the hefty stripers.
Live-liners are using live spot and catch-
ing big rockfish between Captains Point
and the mouth of St. Leonard Creek.
The Potomac has consistent stripers for
chummers around St. Clements Island.
We had reports of good sized rockfish in
the mouth of Nomini Bay, and Ragged
Point. Mid-river around the 301 bridge
find jiggers and trollers doing very well.
The rockfish are evenly mixed with cat-
fish near Morgantown for those fishing
withcut alewife on the bottom. Trollers in
the mouth of the Potomac between buoys
5 and 7 are doing well.
There are breaking rockfish in the bay
from Point No Point to 72A and the Target
ship. Mixed schools of rockfish and blues
Joe Tippett with a string of rockfish caught near
Cove Point casting lures with several fishing bud-
dies.
The County Times Sports 13
are breaking near Hoopers Island Light.
Some hefty rockfish are inside the Targets
and Cedar Point Hollow.
Lure casters in the salt Islands and
around the Honga River are finding speck-
led trout and rockfish mixed together. The
trout are good-sized in the 17- to 22-inch
range, the rockfish are all sized with plenty
in the 22- to 26-inch range. Some keeper
redfish are showing up.
Spot showed up this week mixed with
white perch at Hawks Nest in the Patux-
ent. Spot and croaker are being caught
off the Solomons fishing pier. The Town
Creek Pier had really good spot fishing
on the tide change late Saturday and fish-
ermen there were catching them two at
atime on double bottom rigs baited with
bits of bloodworm. The spot, perch, and
puppy drum have worked their way up the
St. Marys River off the Potomac. Surf
casters at Piney Point found good-sized
spot in abundance under the St. George Is-
land bridge and some keeper rockfish too.
Surfcasters off the Point Lookout fish-
ing pier and off the rocks and beaches are
getting spot, blues, rockfish, and croaker.
Breaking rockfish came temptingly close
to the Potomac beaches this weekend at
Point Lookout.
Leroy Grandby fished off Solomons fishing pier
and found croaker biting on bloodworms.

CSM Trustees Appoint
Board Chair, Vice Chair
The College of Southern Maryland Board
of Trustees at its June 15 meeting appointed
Theodore L. Harwood of St. Marys County
as the boards chair and Bradley O. Bates of
St. Marys County as vice chair, effective
July 1.
Harwood was appointed to the board in
2010 and has served as the trustee represen-
tative to the CSM Foundation and two terms

He will replace Middleton whose term ex-
pires June 30.
At their June 15 board meeting, the trust-
ees honored outgoing trustee Middleton, a
life-long resident of Charles County, for his
service with board emeritus status. Middle-
ton served as CSM trustee since 2007, and
was chair of the trustees 2013-15 and vice
chair, 2012-13.
Referencing his service as a trustee, Board
Chair Dorothea Smith said, During his
Brad Bates
tenure, Trustee Middleton has been diligent
in promoting the mission of the board of
trustees in its responsibilities to proactively
govern the College of Southern Maryland,
ensure institutional integrity and promote
excellence of post-secondary education in
meeting the needs of the Southern Maryland
community. He has supported the colleges
two major fund-raising campaigns through
the CSM Foundation to fund scholarships
for students and he is an avid proponent of
the Regional Hughesville Campus. As a
trustee his commitment to CSM has been
commendable.
Also at the June 15 meeting, the board
granted president emeritus status to CSM
President Dr. Brad Gottfried upon his retire-
ment June 30, for his distinguished service to
the college and serving as the colleges fourth
president, from 2006 to 2017.
As president of CSM for 11 years, Dr.
Gottfried has provided extraordinary ser-
vice to the college, Smith said. His vision,

New Elementary School
Part of Facilities Plan
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
A new elementary school in St. Marys
County is still on the drawing boards. The
school is slated to begin construction in
Fiscal Year 2020. The exact size of the
new school will depend on what the state
is willing to pay. One option is a small-
er school initially, with an addition at a
laterdate.
According to data submitted to the St.
Marys County Board of Education at their
June 14 meeting, elementary schools now
have 353 more students than their state-
rated capacity. By the completion of the
new school that figure will be about 440.
The numbers are included in the 2017
Educational Facilities Master Plan ap-
proved by the school board. That plan is
required to go to the state by July 1. The
plan also includes a new combination
middle and high school in Fiscal Year
2023. But a lot can happen between now
and then, including the number of students
taking early college courses or attending
the Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Tech-
nology Center.
The plan was presented by Director of
Capital Planning Kimberly Howe. She
said St. Marys County is the fifth fastest
growing county in the state. Population in-

made a lasting impact on the growth of CSM
and the Southern Maryland region. Under
his leadership, there have been expansions in
not only educational opportunities for all stu-
dents but also funds for scholarships through
the CSM Foundations two campaigns of
which he has been a staunch contributor.
His vision and understanding of the needs of
the community have resulted in the regional
campus located in Hughesville which is
lauded by all segments of the population. Be-
ing an active participant in his community,
Dr. Gottfried also initiated three institutes
the Nonprofit, Diversity and the Entre-
preneur and Innovation institutes to better
serve the community. He has demonstrated
love for education and his legacy of building
for the future will continue on at the college.
Upon Gottfrieds retirement, incoming
CSM President Dr. Maureen Murphy will
assume the role of secretary/treasurer to the
board, effective July 1.

creased in the first 15 years of the decade
by 27,689, which led to 2,341 new students.
For the period 2010 to 2025, the county is
expected to grow by 32,049, leading to
2,105 new students. But, if history holds
true, the bulk of those new students are
going to be in the elementaryschools.
Other projects in the plan include an
interior renovation at Mechanicsville
Elementary School in FY 2022. If addi-
tional elementary school space is needed
in the northern part of the county, an ad-
dition would be made to Lettie Marshall
Dent Elementary School. The new school
in the plan would likely be in the Great
Millsarea.
For FY 2019, the plan calls for partial
roof replacements at Green Holly Elemen-
tary School and Great Mills High School.
In FY 2020 Green Holly would get an
HVAC system renovation and Dynard El-
ementary School would receive roof and
HVAC renovations.
The Educational Facilities Master
Plan was unanimously approved by the
schoolboard.

CSM Hosts Conference
for Nonprofits
More than 150 nonprofit employees and
supporters participated in this years an-
nual Nonprofit Institute Conference at the
College of Southern Maryland (CSM). The
seventh annual conference, which featured
local experts on nonprofits and leadership is-
sues, was held April 28 at CSMs La Plata
Campus.
This years Nonprofit Institute Confer-
ence, Jumpstart Leadership, was a great
success, said Barbara Ives, CSM director
of the Office of Strategic Partnerships. This
conference focused on refreshing leadership
skills, board development and branding im-
portance. Events like this provide the non-
profit organization board members, executive
directors and staff members opportunities to
network, collaborate with other nonprofits
and share best practices. The panel discus-
sion this year was especially enlightening
with five recognized nonprofit community
leaders sharing insights on leadership, some
of their leadership challenges and how they
overcame them and their greatest successes.

School Meal Prices to Rise
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Meal prices for St. Marys County Pub-
lic Schools (SMCPS) students will be go-
ing up next school year. Breakfast meal
prices will go up five cents and lunch pric-
es will increase 10 cents.
According to Director of Food and Nu-
trition Services Megan Dornan, The Na-
tional School Lunch Program has a pro-
vision that requires equity in the pricing
of paid lunch meals with the rate of reim-
bursement for free lunch meals.
The rate of reimbursement for a free
lunch meal is currently $3.22, while the
average price for a paid lunch is $2.75.
That disparity is mandating the increased
lunch price.
Additionally, Dornan said In the
School Breakfast Program, increased food
costs support an increase in breakfast
meal pricing.
For the school year that begins in Sep-
tember, the elementary school breakfast
prices will increase from $1.40 to $1.45
and lunch prices will increase from $2.65
to $2.75. The secondary school break-

tor of Hospice of St. Marys Kathy Franzen,
CEO of Walden/Sierra Dr. Kathy OBrien,
U.S. Navy veteran and veteran advocate

Ives said that planning for next years
conference has already begun. In response
to feedback that suggested that late winter
would fit in better with nonprofit schedules,
the conference in 2018 is being planned for
late February instead of April.
The Nonprofit Institute was established
by the College of Southern Maryland to
assist nonprofit organizations throughout
the region to enhance
their effectiveness and
achieve success in ful-
filling their missions.

fast price will go from $1.50 to $1.55 and
lunches will increase from $2.85 to $2.95.
Milk prices for both levels will remain at
50 cents.
During a discussion about the meal pric-
es at the June 14 St. Marys County Board
of Education meeting, Dornan was asked
about the experiences with the One Lunch
Program at the three high schools. She
said purchases at Great Mills and Leonar-
dtown have remained about the same but
Chopticon has fallen dramatically.
Dornan said initially only cold meals
awere available at the kiosks during the
One Lunch program. But she said after hot
meals were made available, the numbers
went up at Chopticon. She said they would
continue to investigate why the decline at
the Morganza school.
The school board unanimously ap-
proved the meal price increases. Member
Jim Davis was not at the meeting.

St. Marys County Sheriffs

Office Deputies Recognized Hoyer Announces Military
for Roles in Schools Academy Appointments
On Wednesday, St. Marys County Public
Schools expressed their appreciation for the
support of law enforcement at their schools
and on their safety teams. During a ceremo-
ny, they recognized Safety and Security As-
sistants, Maryland State Police, and deputies
from the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office
for their public safety efforts in the public
school system. Principals who submitted
nominations, commanders and members of
the school board, along with Superintendent
James Scott Smith and Safety & Security
Director, Mike Wyant, bestowed the awards.
For every day of this school year, there
has been at least one unsung hero, Wyant
said. Law enforcement officers have helped
make a difference in a childs life, and the
partnerships we continue to forge provide
confidence in our systems.
Following an opening by Smith, Sheriff
Cameron said, Our partnerships create a
great synergy, and we have a positive rela-
tionship that exists today.
The following officer from the St.
Marys County Sheriffs Office was nomi-
nated for Adopt-A-School Officer of the
Year: Timothy Snyder, Lexington Park El-
ementary and George Washington Carver
ElementarySchool.
Deputy Snyder grew up in Lexington
Park and finds his life experiences a benefit
in supporting the children in the commu-
nity regardless of their age, Dr. Rebecaa
Schou, Principal of Lexington Park Elemen-
tary said. Deputy Snyder also finds time to
support his community as a member of the
Lexington Park Volunteer Rescue Squad,
providing care and comfort to families who
are experiencing a medical emergency.
The Carver team wishes to express our
utmost gratitude for the hard work Deputy
Timothy Snyder has displayed in safeguard-
ing the school, staff, and students, Principal
Deanna Mingo of George Washington Carv-
er Elementary School said. He has shown
to the Carver community the highest profes-
sionalism in every interaction. Deputy Sny-
ders concerted effort exceeds expectation.
The following officers from the St. Marys
County Sheriffs Office were nominated
for School Resource Officers of the Year:
Corporal Andrew Holton, Chopticon High
School; Corporal Kristi Nelson, Great Mills
High School; and Corporal Gray Maloy,
Leonardtown High School.
Selected for School Resource Officer
of the Year was Corporal Andy Holton,
Chopticon High School and Margaret Brent
MiddleSchool
Holton is always on time, always on duty,
and always interacts with students with noth-
ing but respect and support, Mark Priner of
Chopticon High School said. Every interac-
tion I have with him is marked by profession-
alism, respect and a steady focus on the task
of ensuring that Chopticon is run as safely
as possible.
He is firm, consistent, and holds stu-
dents to high expectations, Principal Janet
Fowler of Margaret Brent Middle School
said. However, he also provides a safe
outlet for students to confide in him. He
models appropriate behavior for our young
men and women, and his positive impact
reaches beyond the walls of our building into
ourcommunity.
Sheriff Cameron, along with the men
and women of the sheriffs office, extend
congratulations to every individual who
was nominated and received an award. The
Sheriffs Office also thanks the board of
education, Superintendent Smith, St. Marys
County Public School staff, and the prin-
cipals of our local schools for honoring the

The Weekend Effect

by Katrina Onstad
Zzzzzzzzzip.
That was the sound of your last week-
end as it passed by, but it probably doesnt
matter anyhow: it was packed with work,
To-Dos and obligations, kids sports, and
more work. Sometimes, you wonder why
you even bother. You might as well just go
to the ofce but rst, read The Week- enjoyed a holiday-lled church calendar,
end Effect by Katrina Onstad before
you zip out Friday afternoon.
When was the last time you had two full
days without plans?
If youre like most working adults, an-
swering may take you a few minutes.
Chances are, its been awhile; like mil-
lions of North American employees, our
weekend is not a weekend at all.
Much like the seven-day week, week-
ends are manmade things: Ancient civi-
lizations created our modern week, the
Old Testament demarked a day of rest,
and employers tried forcing workers to
toil most of both. In 1791, U.S. carpenters
held the rst strike over hours; the eight-
hour day started to take hold in the late
1800s; Henry Ford introduced a ve-day
workweek in 1926; and generally, there we
were until the digital age, when employ-
ees could and do - carry work with them
everywhere.
Considering that fteenth-century serfs
sibilities, and then read The Weekend
says Onstad, you may work more now
than did a medieval peasant.
Thats not good for mind or body, and
employers are starting to recognize that.
Known for obsessively-focused marathon
workweeks, Silicon Valley may taketh
away, but it also giveth: some high-tech
start-ups offer employees ex-time and
demand down-time. Your boss may wel-
come happier employees who arent so
stressed. Four-day workweeks arent rare
anymore, nor are half-day Fridays.
And yet, Onstad says, if someone asked
you what youd do with free weekends,
you might struggle with a list. Think: you
can actually visit with real people, in-per-
son. You could volunteer more,
read more, attend more church,
or go for more walks.
In short, you can stop, and
learn to do less.
What would you do with two time. Theres a surprise in that: whatever
unencumbered days? Imagine the pos- you think you like to do on your week-
ends, you could be doing it all wrong.

While it might seem that few people also tell you something you already know:
need convincing when it comes to taking you work too hard. For conrmation,
time off, author Katrina Onstad shows, though, or for further reasons why you

trapped into working more. Readers might mock, The Weekend Effect has that all
see themselves in some of Onstads short zipped up.

but its unsustainable and were hurting

Meet Walter & Kiwi

Walter and Kiwi are looking for their new homes. They are
very friendly and playful.
They cost $125 each and will be combo tested for aids
and feline leukemia, spayed and neutered, dewormed, and
microchipped.
The price will also include three distemper vaccines at ages 8
weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks if you bring
them back to Feral Cat Rescue for the
vaccines.
In about two weeks if not adopt-
ed online, they will be at the Pet-
co in California on Saturdays
and Sundays from 10:30 to 3.
If you are interested in
meeting them before they go
to Petco, you can ll out an
application at www.feralca-
trescuemd.org and email it to
diane@feralcatrescuemd.org
Once approved, we can ar-
range a meeting at the foster
moms house.
prednisone and tail end of menopause (I
hope) make me hotter than a blast furnace
in a steel plant. My poor husband wakes up
in Antarctica every day he says. My hus-
band has mentioned more than once that
we have a perfectly good, cool guest room
in the basement. Hmmm.not a bad
idea since he is also a mini blast furnace.
Why do men throw off so much heat? He
says, You use to snuggle with me, you
used to want to spoon. Just hearing those
words makes my temperature rise to un-
bearable heights. Give me a 20 degree day
and I will snuggle with you for 10 minutes
at least until the heat rises.
Today would be a great day to go to Bat-
tle Creek Cypress Swamp in Prince Fred-
erick for some reason I have always loved
swamps and their smell. Battle Creek is
one of the northernmost stands of bald
cypress trees In the United States where
over 100,000 years ago now-extinct ani-
mals like mammoths roamed the forest.
Pretty cool. I used to take my sons there
when they were younger. I love walking
the quarter mile boardwalk where you
can here so many birds and frogs. They
have nice little seating areas too. Just
for him didnt you?
My husband is still wondering where
his birthday cake is from his birthday/Fa-
thers Day on Sunday. Now you know if
we bought or made him one he would have
said, Why are you all trying to make me
fat? This isnt rue of course, his daughter
made him a delicious pan of strawberry
shortcakes, but I guess it wasnt his Ger-
man Chocolate cake. So last night he said,
Since I didnt get a birthday cake, lets go
to Berts, I want the biggest dessert they
have. We went and he did get the largest
ice cream dessert available, and amaz-
ingly shared a tiny bit with Mindy as we
sat outside.
I suppose if I was really nice, I would go
ahead and make a German Chocolate cake
that we could share for birthday week.
Nahhhtoo hot for me to bake, Berts
it is.
