A Baltimore man was convicted Monday night in an armed robbery of $4,000 from his former employer, a Jessup moving company.Clarence E. Cherry, 27, went to his former employer, Magic Movers, with another man about 8 p.m. July 24 and demanded money.He was wearing a homemade mask, but the disguise didn't work. At one point, one boss said, "What in the hell are you doing, Clarence?"Jurors in Howard County Circuit Court took about five hours to reach a verdict. During closing arguments, Assistant State's Attorney Debra Saltz urged jurors to convict Cherry because the two victims, his former bosses, recognized him.Public defender Louis P. Willemin argued that witnesses couldn't positively identify Cherry and might have been mistaken.

SENOR SPENCES was on the move. He made a beeline from the pay phones and hooked a sharp left, heading up the spacious corridor that led from the D terminal at Baltimore-Washington International Airport toward the doors to the parking garage.His legs moving swiftly in his tiny blue jeans, Senor Spences darted left toward a small restaurant, then veered sharply right toward a bookstore. Further up the corridor, he spotted a little girl who had sat down on the floor. He plopped down to join her.Now he sits, I thought as I watched this bundle of energy, this whirling dervish of all 20-month-olds, calmly sitting in the middle of the terminal.

A 41-year-old man who pleaded guilty yesterday to fatally shooting a veteran police lieutenant in the back was ordered confined to a mental institution as part of a plea bargain that enraged the officer's family.The wife of slain Lt. Owen E. Sweeney Jr. told a Circuit Court judge that she could not understand the unanimous conclusions of four psychiatrists who found Baron Michael Cherry competent to stand trial but not legally responsible for shooting her husband May 7. The plea spares the confessed killer jail time.

Clarification The recipe for tomato pie in last week's column failed to mention cooking time. Bake in a 350 F. oven for 30 to 40 minutes. It looked like a picnic. But it was actually a tomato tasting, a thorough one. Fifty-eight different types of tomatoes - cherries, currants, heirlooms, hybrids - were sitting on picnic tables in a pavilion in Baltimore County's Southwest Park. It was the annual get-together of MAGTAG, or the Mid-Atlantic Gardeners' Tomato Appreciation Gathering, a loose-knit group bound together by their fondness for the "love apple."

The Baltimore police union will not accept furloughs or layoffs, according to Fraternal Order of Police President Robert F. Cherry, a stance that could hamper the city's attempts to cut $60.2 million from this year's spending plan. Cherry said the union's contract with the city protects members from reductions in salary, and that taking officers off the streets could present an unacceptable safety risk. Instead, he has suggested allowing officers to collect compensatory time in lieu of overtime or holiday pay. "There are other ways that we can share the pain," Cherry said.

When Shirley Cherry was helping out at Guilford Elementary School a couple of years ago, a boy spoke rudely to her, and his teacher made him write an apology. But the note was poorly written, full of grammatical errors and bad punctuation. "I can't accept this," Ms. Cherry told the boy, who was about 10. "But if you'd like me to help show you how to write this letter, I'd be happy to." By the time they were done, the boy, all smiles, had told the 70-year-old retiree that he hoped she would return to his class the next day. Finding more people who, like Ms. Cherry, are willing to invest their time and talents in bettering their neighborhoods is a key goal of the timely, bipartisan Serve America Act. The first major legislation in 15 years designed to bolster volunteerism and national service, it would funnel resources to volunteer centers across the country; expand service learning opportunities for youths; create a series of "corps" focused on health, the environment and other specific areas; and create new opportunities for older Americans to volunteer.

James Edward Cherry Sr., who owned and operated an upholstery firm in downtown Baltimore for more than 50 years and was an active member of Leadenhall Baptist Church for even longer, died of cancer Aug. 13 at his Pikesville home. He was 97. Born and raised in Suffolk, Va., Mr. Cherry came to Baltimore in 1937. "A man taught him upholstering, and in 1940 he established Cherry's Upholstering Co. in the 1100 block of Pennsylvania Ave.," said a daughter, Sandra Williams of Catonsville. He later relocated the business to North Gay Street and finally to the corner of Lexington and Greene streets, where it remained for more than 20 years.

2005 Merryvale Merlot From: Napa Valley, Calif. Price: $35 Serve with: Beef, lamb It's a rare California merlot that makes a solid case that its vineyard wouldn't have been better planted with cabernet sauvignon. This is one of them. It's a meaty yet velvet-textured red wine with concentrated black-cherry fruit and hints of herbs and chocolate. There's better-than-average complexity here and a drawn-out finish. Though accessible young, it has the structure to age well for five-10 years.
