St. Marys Loses Out On

Hogan To
Road Projects
Rollback Septic
Requirement
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A report from one of the states top transportation official showed just how low St.
Marys County ranks in the scheme of
things when it comes to getting funding for
key road projects and improvements; at the
bottom.
County Commissioner Tom Jarboe said
Tuesday this was the result of the the passage of the Maryland Open Transportation
Investment Decision Act of 2016.
Its devastating, Jarboe said. And the
fact that its going to continue is crazy.
We dont rank at all.
The missive from James F. Ports, deputy
secretary of operations for the Maryland
Department of Transportation, showed that
the four transportation projects it had listed
in the states capital improvement plan rated absolutely no funding in the upcoming
budget plan.
The amount of money available statewide for what are called capacity projects
was $917.1 million.
The project to widen Camp Brown Road
at Point Lookout State Park, which Gov.

Staff Writer
Gov. Larry Hogan

has announced that he
is eliminating a requirement for homeowners
living outside the states
most environmentally
senstive
watershed
zone that they use the
most
technologically
advanced septic systems, which many developers and property
owners have decried as
onerouslyexpensive.
Hogan made his announcement at the
Maryland Association
of Counties (MACO)
meeting in Ocean City
Aug. 20, effectively
repealing the mandate
made by his predecessor Gov. Martin
OMalley back in 2012.
Hogans announcement comes after
calls from local officials and builders who
had long lamented the high costs resulting
from the imposed mandate.
We will deliver this much-needed relief while continuing to ensure that environmental safeguards are in place,
Hogansaid.
The change in policy was hailed by local elected officials who have long chaffed
under the regulations.
That was really great news, said Evan
Slaughenhoupt, president of the Calvert
County Board of County Commissioners.
Gov. Hogans taking the right position,
common sense.
In his speech, Hogan said that the state
needed to find ways to focus on dredging sediment from behind the Conowingo
Dam at the head of the Chesapeake Bay,
which has dumped loads of sediment into
the bay after storm overflows.
Slaughenhoupt said the mandate from
the OMalley administration never made
much sense.
Theres nobody that can convince me
that a septic system back 1,000 feet from
the shoreline is doing any harm, Slaughenhoupt said.
The best available technology (BAT) requirement will still be in effect for those
homeowners still living inside the 1,000
foot buffer zone along the watershed,
known as the critical area, but the elimination of the mandate for those outside spells
relief, especially since builders and elected
Gov. Larry Hogan
officials have complained that the science

on BAT was not fully proven.
The impetus behind the OMalley initiative was to reduce the amount of nitrogen
and phosphorus leaching into the water
from septic systems to an even greater degree in an effort to match stringent pollution reduction goals imposed by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency acting
on orders from the Obama Administration.
Opponents argued that septic systems
locally allowed much less nitrogen and
phosphorus to seep into the watershed than
the OMalley administration had claimed.
St. Marys County Commissioner Todd
Morgan said the
policy
change
would provide relief for homeowners who would
soon have to make
repairs to their
septicsystems.
If your septics
failing at least you
wont have to go
to BAT but just a
regular system,
Morgan said. Its
a reasonableapproach.

countytimes.net
Larry Hogan touted as a key project on his

tour of Southern Maryland earlier this year,
rated No. 73 out of 73 projects, dead last.
Intersection improvements at the intersection of Moakley and Abell roads in
Leonardtown came in at No. 48 while intersection improvements at Route 246 and 471
in Lexington Park ranked at No. 50.
The Thomas Johnson Bridge replacement project, considered to regional officials to be the most critical project, ranked
in at No. 54.
Over the weekend at the Maryland Association of Counties (MACO) meeting in
Ocean City, Hogan decried the passage of
a bill in the legislature that he believed effectively nixed of the highway projects for
rural counties in favor of a transportation
scoring scheme that favored more populated counties.
He called for its repeal, naming it the
Roadkill Bill.

Scott Bundy, the current executive director of the Metropolitan Commission,

the countys water and sewer authority,
has agreed to stay on with the agency after originally stating he would step down at
the end of September, according to one of
MetComs board members.
Hes going to rescind his resignation,
said Board Member Mike Mummaugh. I
guess he worked out everything with the
staff.
Bundy made his resignation public at a
meeting back in June and handed in a letter
of resignation, but that letter of resignation
was not made public at that time.
The issue of Bundys continued employment with MetCom was up for discussion
at the Aug. 18 meeting but Bundy was absent due to a family emergency, according
to Board Chair Brian Barthelme speaking

that day, so the item was tabled.
A second meeting has been scheduled
for today, sources have said, to discuss
Bundys continued employment.
Bundys short tenure at MetCom has
been praised, especially for his management of tens of millions of dollars in construction money that had laid dormant but
still required debt service payments.
Bundy had stated publicly to county
commissioners that he had started the construction projects for which that money had
initially been borrowed.

Seafood Restaurant Relocating

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
For years Kevins Corner Kaf, tucked
into the the back of Leonardtowns downtown on Park Ave. has been a vital part of
the towns business family but its owner
has plans to move his store just outside the
towns boundaries.
Laschelle McKay, town administrator,
said that Kevin Thompson had been looking to move his business for sometime and
has chose the disused property that used to
be The Willows restaurant near the intersection of St. Andrews Church Road and
Route 5 to open a new seafood house.
New signage has already been put up advertising the change of venue at the former
Willows site.
Its a big loss, McKay said. But we
understand it means better parking and a
better position.
But its still close
to Leonardtown.
Thompson said he
would be making his
move sometime in
September.
Itll be a lot more
parking, Thompson
said. And a bigger
kitchen.
Leonardtown has
been good to him,
Thompson
said,
since he only started
his business eight
years ago as a lunch
time establishment.
Hes grown to be a dinner spot as well

and business had grown so much, he said,
that he has run out of parking on may
occassions.
They circle the parking lot sometimes
looking for a spot and then they leave, he
said. I dont want to lose the customers
Ive had for eight years or any new ones.
Im hidden back in a cubby hole but Ive
done extremely well. From the town office
to the people in Leonardtown theyve been
phenomenal to me.

Weekly Fishing Report

By Ken and Linda Lamb
Special To The County Times
Rockfish and blues were mixed together,

breaking and attracting lots of birds Sunday evening at Cedar Point. The rockfish were right at the 20 inch legal limit,
and the blues were about the same size.
Rock, blues and spanish mackerel are in a
big thrash from buoy 72A to below the target ship.
Many of the rockfish are in excess of 20 inches, blues are good sized
and most of the spanish are around
18 inches, but some are pushing 30.
Trollers like to use planers with small
spoons pulled really fast for the mackerel
which are fantastic smoked.
Big rockfish in the 30 inch class are up
the Potomac on the bars and on the shoreline. All manner of lures cast at dusk and

dawn will bring strikes from the feeding

fish. Boaters cruising out of Breton Bay
and St. Clements are getting their limits every evening using top water poppers
or bucktails.
The Patuxent has rockfish, likewise. Jiggers will find willing rockfish
around the pilings of the Solomons bridge.
Cobia are still being chummed up in the
bay on the lumps below the target ships.
The big tropical fish can get closed
mouth at the end of August and will
swim into the chum line but not hit any
bait offered. This will change when
we get into fall and the water cools.
Spot showed up at Drum Point this week in
43 feet of water.
The first big catches of the year were reported there staring last Monday. The spot
are big, about hand size; the bigger humpbacks are not here yet. Small spot in the
3- to 6-inch range are in the shallows now.
White perch are in the creeks and eager to take cast spinner baits on the high
tides most any day in the dusk and
dawn. Bright sunshine with the sun high
will find the perch in siesta mode.
Bottom fishermen can find perch in
the rivers most anywhere. Drift around
in 30 feet of water until you strike a
few and drop the anchor. They love
bloodworms, squid, and peeler crab.

County Man Killed In

Fight Against ISIS
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Relatives and close friends of St. Marys
native William Savage, 27, say that he had a
life long desire not only to join the military
but to see combat. Even though childhood
medical issues kept him out of the military
he would not let it keep him out of the fight.
The war in Syria and Iraq, where units
like the Kurdish Peshmergae and Peoples
Protection units are fighting Islamic State
in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) gave him the opportunity to fight for a cause he believed in.
According to reports from the Kurdish
Peoples Protection Units (YPG) Savage
was killed in combat Aug. 10 in the city of
Marbij in northern Syria in combat with the
forces of the Islamic State.
I wasnt happy about him going but its
what he wanted, said Mary Slade, a local
accountant who was Savages baby sitter
and later his financial guardian in charge of
his trust fund. I absolutely believe he was
a good soldier.
Savages sister, Brenna Savage, said her
brothers determination to make something
of himself, a soldier, was always with him.
Growing up with him he
was full of energy and spirited, Brenna said. He really
had that in him [to be a soldier]
I believe he was going to do
something no matter what. He
wanted to fight.
She said her brother grew up
like many other young men but
after their mother died in 2007
after a battle with cancer he
became more serious and more
restless.
He wanted to protect
people, Brenna said. The
Photographs of Williams Savage, killed in combat this month in
cause he fought for, he really
Syria fighting against ISIS, show his growth from childhood to
self-made soldier who gave his life protecting people who were
believedin.
not his own.
Slade said he arrived in Syria in Jan.

2015 and first joined the Peshmergae, a
fighting force dedicated to protecting the
Kurdish people.
The name Peshmergae literally translated means those who face death.
After serving in that unit in Northern
Iraq he moved on to the YPG.
According to reports from the YPG,
Savage was trying to rescue people from
a building during the fighting for Marbij
when he was severely wounded and succumbed to his injuries.
His efforts and those of the YPG fighers
were not in vain, however, as the Kurdish
forces were able to take the city Aug. 13 according to news reports.
Before becoming a volunteer soldier in
the fight against ISIS, Savage worked in
odd jobs as he grew up and got his general
equivalency in high school, Slade said.
He even started taking college courses at
St. Marys College of Maryland, walking
about 16 miles round trip per day to take
courses since he was without a working car.
His mother, Nancy Smith, had at one
time been a professor at St. Marys College
of Maryland.
But pursuing a college education just
did not satisfy his need to be in the fight,
Brenna said.
He was definitely restless, Brenna
said. He wanted to do something that really meant something.
She occassionally talked with him
through e-mail, she said, when her
brother could make it to a secure area.
He never spoke of any of the battles he was
involved in, Brenna said, and they only discussed family affairs.
The last e-mail discussion she had with
William was about a much-loved dog of his
that had passed away.
Im sorry he passed away, Savage

wrote to his sister back in May. I actually
had just been looking at the photos you sent
of him a few hours before.
Savage ended his message with the intention of one day reuniting with his sister.
Hope all is well in you and your [familys] lives, and I hope to see yall in the
future.
Pictures of Savage in the warzone with
his comrades, provided by his sister, show a
young, confident man who seemed to have
found the purpose and happiness in life he
had so long sought.
It was the face of a man that Brenna
knew little about compared to the younger
brother she grew up with.
This is a side of him I never got to see,
Brenna said. Im so happy he turned into
such an amazing person.
Savages sacrifice was memorialized by
his comrades and the cause for which he
fought.
Despite all differences, William believed in building a common and peaceful
life, YPG said in a statement regarding his
death. And his memory will stay alive in
the hearts and souls of all his friends.
Foreign fighters volunteering against
ISIS are often only given food and accomodations for their service; while he was
fighting Savage took the name of Amed
Kobane.

William Billy
Wendell Cusic, Sr.,
William Billy Wendell Cusic, Sr., of

Chaptico, Maryland, passed away on August 13, 2016 at his home in Chaptico. Born
on February 23, 1941 in Leonardtown,
Maryland, Billy was a lifelong resident of
St. Marys County having grown up in Mechanicsville. As a child, he was an altar boy
at St. Josephs Catholic Church and also
attended St. Josephs Catholic School. He
went on to graduate from Margaret Brent
High School, Class of 1960.
On June 16, 1962 he married Joyce Ann
Knott from Chaptico at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Bushwood, Maryland. From
there they went on to celebrate 54 years of
marriage and had three children.
During his younger years, he worked
with his father, Elwood Cusic and brothers
Bobby and Teenie on the Patuxent View

Farm. There he raised cattle, hogs, grew
tobacco, hay and other products. Billy was
a proud part of showing prized Hereford
Cattle winning many awards at county
fairs throughout the state. He continued
that job until 1963.
From his years of being a farmer Billy
acquired quite an ability to fix mechanical
things. He moved on from being a farmer
to work for Maryland Tobacco Growers in
Waldorf, Maryland. There they sent him to
maintenance and repair school for International Trucks and Tractors. He later moved
on to work for Joe McKay (International
Tractors) in Leonardtown, Maryland and
being promoted to Shop Foreman.
In the early 1970s Billy decided it was
time to venture out on his own and become self-employed as a mobile mechanic.
He then purchased a used potato chip box
truck which belonged to his twin brother and the rest is history. Billy began his
mobile mechanic service by going to customers farms and places of business and
repaired whatever truck, tractor or equipment that needed to be fixed.
In 1976 he moved from a small house
trailer in Leonardtown where he and his
wife and three children lived and built a
home with a one bay garage in Chaptico
Crossroads. There his business continued to grow and as the business grew he
slowly expanded his shop. What started
as a one man operation with a lot of help
and support from his wife, Joyce Ann, had
In Remembrance
turned into something larger than he had

ever dreamed. Over time he expanded to
numerous service trucks, light and heavy
duty wreckers and rollbacks with 24 hour a
day service/towing.
In what little free time Billy had over the
years he loved going to antique car shows
and restoring antique cars. He and his wife
along with their son, Johnny, restored several cars that were pristine down to the exact style nut and bolt from the factory. One
such vehicle, a 1956 Ford Victoria, took 2nd
place in the Nation in Nashville, Tennessee. Another one, a 1956 Chevrolet Belair,
2 door hardtop, won Best 1956 at the Classic Chevy Show in Baltimore, Maryland.
Over the years, Billy has volunteered
many hours too many different causes. He
was a past member of the Mechanicsville
Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue
Squad. He was instrumental in the restoration of the Old St. Josephs Cemetery on
Busy Corner Road in Morganza, Maryland. Along with the help of former Sheriff
and friend, Wayne Pettit, Billy was able to
gain access to work inmates on weekends
to come and help his family, friends and
others restore the old cemetery back to the
way it should have looked by showing respect for those who had passed before us
while giving their families the ability to
find their loved ones. He was also a very
big supporter for our local Fire and EMS
and Law Enforcement in the county. The
guys and gals in red and blue knew if they
got in a jam they could give him a call and
he would be right there to help without
question!
Billy was predeceased by sons: William
Wendell Cusic, Jr., Billy Boy, and Timothy Allen Timmy Cusic, brother, Joseph
Teenie Cusic, Jr., Father, Joseph Elwood
Cusic and Mother, Elvie Wood Cusic.
He is survived by his wife, Joyce Ann,
son, Johnny Cusic (Amy), twin brother,
Bobby Cusic (Betty Jean) and grandchildren: Christian Cusic-Wilson, Connor William Cusic and Carson Blake Cusic.
The family will receive friends on Friday, August 19, 2016 from 5:00 PM- 8:00
PM with prayers recited at 7:00 PM in the

Help Reduce Mosquito Population by

Eliminating Standing Water
Photos by
Mike Batson
Photography
The best way to prevent mosquito bites

and mosquito-borne diseases is to get rid of
mosquito breeding habitats.At the height
of mosquito season, the Calvert County
Department of General Services Mosquito
Control Program is again asking residents
to assist in the control of mosquitoes by
inspecting their properties for standing
water. Any area or container that holds
water for a week or more has the potential
to produce hundreds, or even thousands,
ofmosquitoes.
The county Mosquito Control Program
team offers the following tips:
Drain or dump tarps, buckets and
flower pots.
Keep roof gutters free of leaves and
other debris.
Fill in tree stump holes from blown
over trees as soon as possible.
Dispose of cans, plastic containers and anything else that can
holdwater.
Cover or drill holes in recycling

containers or outside trash cans.
Turn wheelbarrows, wading pools,
childrens toys and other similar
items over or put them away.
Store boats covered or upside down.
Clean and put fresh water in birdbaths or wading pools regularly.
Make sure your homes windows
and doors have proper screening.
When outdoors wear light colored
long pants and long sleeves.
Use an approved insect repellent according to manufacturers
instructions.
The Calvert County Mosquito Control
Program provides countywide integrated
pest abatement of nuisance and vector (disease carrier) mosquitoes. For a comprehensive overview of the program, visit online

Stephen H. Jones, Cocoanut Grove Fire A Perfect 10 and an Absolute Zero

Stephen Harris Jones, born May 22, fire incinerated
1919, was the only son of Stephen McKenny Jones and his second wife, Mildred
Foxwell of Leonardtown.
Stephen attended the University of Maryland where he graduated in 1939 with a degree in engineering. In the spring of 1942
he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. On the night
of November 28, 1942 he was in Boston
where he and a number of his fellow navy
men decided to go to the Cocoanut Grove
night club where he died in the seconddeadliest single-building fire in American
history. That night there were over 1,000
people crammed into space designed to accommodate no more than 460. Before the
night was over. 492 died there.
Although the official cause of the fire
was determined to be of unknown origin, it
was reported by a number of witnesses that
a young man had unscrewed a light bulb so
he could kiss his girlfriend. A bus boy was
ordered to tighten the bulb. He stood on a
chair but in the dimness could not see so lit
a match. Witnesses first saw flames in the
fronds of an artificial palm tree just below
the fabric-covered false ceiling, immediately afterward.
The fire was immediately out of control.
Flames raced up the stairway to the main
level, burning the hair of patrons fleeing. A
fireball burst through the front entryway
flames raced faster than patrons could
move, followed by thick clouds of smoke.
Some were instantly overcome by smoke as
they sat in their seats and were found later
with drinks still in their hands.
Many tried to escape through the main
entrance, but it was a single revolving
doorBodies piled up behind both sides
of the door, jamming it until it brokethe
whoever was
left alive in
the pileside
doors had been
bolted shut to
prevent people
from leaving
without paying... A plate
glass window
was boarded
up and unusable.
There
were some unlocked doors but they opened
inwards and were useless against the crush
of people trying to escape.
Ensign Stephen H. Jones. It is with
greatest sorrow we learn that among the 27
officers of the U.S. Navy who lost their lives
on Saturday night last in the fire at the Coconut Grove, Boston, Massachusetts was
Stephen H. Jones, only son of Mrs. Mildred
Foxwell Jones and the late Mr. Stephen M.
Jones of Leonardtown. The deceased was
a splendid young man of sterling character with high ideals and every promise of
a brilliant future. Our hearts are torn with
grief and sympathy for his greatly bereaved
familyHis death follows that of his father by only two monthsSurvived by his
mother and three sisters Mrs. Adele Van
Devanter and the Mrs. Louise and Ruth
Jones. Funeral was held Thursday with
military honors in the national Cemetery at
Arlington Virginia where amidst the many
who have given their lives to the service of
the country he lies beneath the Stars and
Stripes. (Beacon, December 4, 1942).

Mindy: Weapon of Mass Destruction

My extra kitchen counter has less and
less space now; this is the counter my husband built after he tore down the connecting wall between the kitchen and dining
room. I am sure everyone knows the layout
of a typical split foyer small rooms, nothing open. This counter holds Longaberger
baskets of different sizes; some holding
breads, paper plates, snacks, and one for
my medications. Of course there is a section of the current wines we want to try,
especially the Sangiovese our friend Barbara brought us back from Italy, and all the
accessories needed for those that love wine.
I also have a spot I try to keep clear for my
glass of water, and the Excedrin bottle and
large vitamin bottle my husband stealthily encroaches upon this only clear spot on
the counter with jars of peanuts and boxes
of granola bars. I usually push them over
or throw them in the snack basket with a
mumbled, Keep stuff out of my space!.
Now I am facing another encroach-
ment of my water and med space: Mindys

destroyed and mangled toys. This is my
fault I suppose, I put the toys up there out of
her reach. As soon as Mindy gets a new toy,
she sets out to destroy and disassemble it. I
really think she would make a good bomb
finding dog. Actually, Mindy would be best
at disassembling and deactivating bombs
if the way she takes apart her toys is any
indication. The only problem there would
be is that she tends to eat a lot of what she
destroys. Hence she would only be a bombfinding/deactivating dog once.
At present in my medication sanctuary, there is one shredded puppy head, an
orange nubby ring we just bought her yesterday which is now missing most of the
orange nubs (found most of the orange nubs
on the carpet under my feet last night), a
pink rubber bone which she tears off little
pieces of pink rubber all over the floor (this
was also the mid-section for the aforementioned puppy head), an orange rubber ball
My daughters convinced that watching sports is a waste of time. She lectures

me about it and often uses it to rebut my
suggestion that shes neglecting her homework assignments while absorbed in her
electronic devices and social life an apparently far more noble pursuit than following competitive athletics. In her mind,
whats good for dad is good for daughter,
despite the gross imbalance of leisure time
afforded by her middle-school life and my
adult-with-multiple-kids life.
But shes 13, so theres no winning the
argument. Frankly, I dont need to; I just
need to win the moment. To do so, I recite a refrain my dad used on me: Do as I
say, not as I do. Once I layer on the threat
of confiscating her precious electronics
the ones her parents procured and pay to
keep connected to the outside world for
a frightening length of time (you know,
like an hour), she reluctantly, if not silently,
complies. Deep down she knows Im right.
I think. I hope.
When she gets older, Ill explain why I
watch sports. Its still about the obvious:
passionately rooting my teams to victory.
But at age 43, its not entirely about the
results. Sports are therapy now. They are
an old friend and a retreat to a comfortable
place. I watch seeking tangible examples
of human excellence, elite performances
under intense pressure, individuals overcoming adversity and teams reaching
heights beyond what their collective talent
would predict. Despite being affixed to the
couch with a remote, not a pick axe, in my
hand, I am a desperate miner searching for
golden nuggets of inspirational fuel for my
journey and for moments when life fails to
deal me aces and faces.
Sports consistently fill my tank. The Rio
Games alone offered up Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky, Simone Manuel, Paul George
and Kristin Armstrong (a fellow 43-yearold in slightly better shape than this writer)
to rekindle the fire in our guts. Sports are,
however, nothing if not a cross section of
society, so with the good comes the bad.
Watch enough sports, or even a little, and
you will encounter unimaginable egos,
rampant narcissism, cheaters and perpetrators of a myriad of crimes.
from her sweet pet-sitter which met the

same fate as her rubber bone, and a small,
really hard bone that comes pre-filled with
a peanut butter substance that she tends
to fling into everything breakable getting ready to put new glass on one of the
grandchildrens school pictures as a matter
of fact.
My husband says to throw the eaten
toys out, but I keep thinking Mindy will
get over her chewing stage soon. I hate to
throw them out some were Tidbits toys.
She is close to 8 months old now. Doesnt
the chewing stop soon? Anybody? Please
tell me the chewing stops soon. I havent
changed the curtains downstairs yet even
though a sweet friend gave us a bunch of
new sets she wouldnt need anymore. I
think Ill wait a bit longer.
Mindys favorite toys right now are
the pieces of sheetrock and rocks from
the downstairs bathroom destruction project. My husband thinks we may be closer
Oh, and dont forget liars.

Remember when Ryan Lochte, a 13-time
medal winner, was just the second most
decorated male swimmer in Olympic history? Wasnt it great seeing the 32-year-old
veteran winning gold with rival and longtime teammate Michael Phelps one last
time?
It was a storybook ending until Lochte
went boorish frat boy, got hammered and
destroyed property at a Rio gas station.
Then, for some reason known only to that
ego-laden, self-serving space between his
ears, Lochte concocted a fictitious account
of the event that put his teammates at risk,
dimmed the well-earned spotlight of other
Olympians, embarrassed his country and
laid waste to his reputation.
Lochte claimed he and three teammates
had been robbed at gunpoint by a man
dressed as a police officer. In reality, he
and his boys damaged property and urinated on the premises because, you know, they
thought they could. The truth, as it usually
does in the information age, eventually surfaced which prompted Lochte to play the
drunk/immature card and latently apologize for the over-exaggerated account of
the nights events.
Lochte didnt over-exaggerate. He
lied. And this from a guy who was born on
the exact day 3 August 1984 that Mary
Lou Retton stuck her Perfect 10 vault to
win the womens all-around gymnastics
gold at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. Who
could have guessed the day that produced
American perfection would produce an absolute zero 32 years later?
But I want to thank Lochte. Seriously.
At some point Ill be having a conversation with my kids and Ill need evidence
to illustrate the importance of respectfully
diffusing a bad situation, being forthright
and truthful and recognizing that a persons
reputation, while forged by countless acts,
can be undone by a single error.
Lochte will be perfect for those moments. Maybe hell even help my daughter
understand why I watch sports and realize
its hardly a waste of time.

to finding the sewer gas smell problem

hard to say. Mindy leaves little piles of the
de-construction debris all over the downstairs if we are out, or not paying enough
attention to her. Her worst destructive act
is taking the insoles out of all our shoes.
She doesnt tear up the shoes themselves,
she just moves them and pulls out the insides. I almost have enough shoeboxes for
mine now. I never thought I would have
to get shoeboxes for my slippers. We have
friends that ask that you take your shoes off
when you enter their home. Rest assured
that if you visit us, we will never ask you
to remove your shoes they may never be
found again or be in the same condition you
walked in with.
To each new days adventure, Shelby
