St. Marys County Sheriffs Office Participates in Annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Day
On Tuesday, May 10, the St. Marys County Department
of Aging & Human Services, along with Triad/SALT (Seniors and Law Enforcement Together), held their annual

who put their lives on the line every day, and thank them
for what they do.
Sheriff Cameron presented the opening remarks for the
program saying, They [law enforcement officers] have
endured! Despite the danger of their jobs, they continue
to serve. The manner in which they perform their jobs is
an example for all of us. He added, We should be proud
of them and thankful that each one of them is a person of
demonstrated integrity and character, who chose to be a
guardian of the community.

The drug box for the Prince Frederick Barrack is located outside the front entrance and is available 24/7. By dropping off unused or out of date drugs it helps
keep drugs of abuse from being resold or taken illegally. Further, it cuts down
on groundwater contamination. Testing shows that some drugs do not filter out
when at landfills or sewage treatment facilities. The remnants can then end up
in the areas groundwater. Thanks again for participating in this event.

Dear Editor,
I wholeheartedly agree with Scott Nieman, Asking for better Service from Metrocast. About a year ago we cancelled our
TV service with them and switched to one
of the local satellite companies and are very
glad we did. However we are still saddled
with Metrocast internet as there is no FIOS
in our area. I gave up my Metrocast email
address because when I bought my new
computer their current program could not
accommodate Windows 8, or so they told
me. I switched all my addresses to a new
Outlook address. Now emails from Metrocast email accounts cannot go to Outlook,
Hotmail, or Live addresses just to name a
few. This has been ongoing since March.
After several calls to Metrocast they say
there is nothing they can do, that Microsoft
is blocking many (not all) of their emails.
Meanwhile I am missing important emails
from friends with Metrocast accounts with

On May 9th Mr. Colin Boynton of the Thomas J. Shryock Lodge #223 of Ancient Free
and Accepted Masons in Hollywood Md., along with Dr. Curtis Alston, the principal of
Lexington Park Elementary presented two students with vouchers for new bicycles from
the Patuxent Adventure Center. Nicholas Osborne and Jurnee Milburn were selected in
the first and second grade drawing to win these bicycles as part of the Books for Bikes
program, a pilot program the Lodge is hoping to expand to additional schools next year.
The drawing for third and fourth grades will occur at 9 a.m. on May 12. Books for Bikes
encourages recreational reading by elementary school students through the incentive of
increased reading correspondingly increasing the individual students odds of winning
a new bike at the end of the year. This program was sponsored and funded by generous
contributions of the Pax Velo Cycling Club, Holmes-Tucker International Incorporated,
the Patuxent Adventure Center, Avian LLC and the Thomas J. Shryock Lodge #223.

Craft Tip
of The Week
This weeks tip is for sewers. Always have two pair or scissors - one for fabric only and one for paper only. Never use fabric
scissors for cutting paper or any other type of material. The fabric scissors when used for another purpose will never cut a clean
sharp edge. P.S. Warn family members to never under any circumstance use your fabric scissors for anything other than fabric.
Also it helps if you have a colored ribbon attached to the paper and
fabrics scissors marked with the words fabric and paper on it.

Her face was perfect, as was the rest of the body but
was black as the blackest negro. Her eyes were sunk
deep in her head, every other part retained its perfect
shape. The loss of three or four of her upper fore teeth
was supplied with a piece of wood between. Her hair
was short, platted and trimmed on the top of her head. Her
dress was a white muslin gown, with an apron which was
loose in the body, and drawn at the bosom nearly as is now
the fashion only not so low, with short sleeves and high
gloves but much destroyed by time.
Her stockings were cotton and coarse, much darned at
the feet, the clocks of which were large and figured with
half diamonds worked. Her gown was short before and
gave us a view of all her ankle. Her cap was with long ears
and pinned under the chin. A piece of muslin two inches
broad which extended across the top of her head as low
as her breast, the end was squared and trimmed with half
inch lace as was the cap. The body was opened and the
entrails removed and filled with gums and spice, and the
coffin filled with the same. She was a small woman, and
appeared delicate.

In the coffin of the man was only the bones which were
long and large. His head was sawed through. the brain
removed and filled with embalmment, but he was not so
well done as the other, or had been there much longer as he
was much more gone. The winding sheet of the body was
marked in such letters as these (drawings of three crosses).
The vault was nearly 10 square, nicely arched with a
brick floor. We saw where the door was but it was bricked
up. The air in there was cool and impregnated with a sweet
balmy smell, originating from the coffins, but I thought
proper to sprinkle it with rum.
The length of time that these bodies have been here must
have been two hundred years or more as we have not the
smallest account who they were more than what I have
mentioned.
