America 250 (Wikipedia)
The Native Americans in Maryland were a peaceful people who welcomed the English. At the time of the founding of the Maryland colony, approximately forty tribes consisting of 8,000 – 10,000 people lived in the area. They were fearful of the colonists' guns, but welcomed trade for metal tools. The Native Americans who were living in the location where the colonists first settled were called the Yaocomico Indians. The colonists gave the Yaocomico Indians cloth, hatchets, and hoes in exchange for the right to settle on the land. The Yaocomico Indians allowed the English settlers to live in their houses, a type of longhouse called a witchott. The Indians also taught the colonists how to plant corn, beans, and squash, as well as where to find food such as clams and oysters.[12][13]
The recorded history of Maryland dates back to the beginning of European exploration, starting with the Venetian John Cabot, who explored the coast of North America for the Kingdom of England in 1498. After European settlements had been made to the south and north, the colonial Province of Maryland was granted by King Charles I to Sir George Calvert (1579–1632), his former Secretary of State in 1632, for settlement beginning in March 1634. It was notable for having been established with religious freedom for Roman Catholics, since Calvert had publicly converted to that faith.[1][2][3] Like other colonies and settlements of the Chesapeake Bay region, its economy was soon based on tobacco as a commodity crop, highly prized among the English, cultivated primarily by African slave labor, although many young people came from Britain sent as indentured servants or criminal prisoners in the early years.
In 1781, during the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), Maryland became the seventh state of the United States to ratify the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. They were drawn up by a committee of the Second Continental Congress (1775–1781), which began shortly after the adoption of a Declaration of Independence in July 1776, to 1778. Later that year, these articles were recommended to the newly independent sovereign states via their legislatures for the required unanimous ratification. This long process was held up for three years by objections from smaller states led by Maryland until certain issues and principles over the western lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River. These objections were resolved with the larger states agreeing to cede their various western claims to the authority of the new Congress of the Confederation, representing all the states, to be held in common for the laying out and erection of new states out of the jointly held federal territories. Maryland then finally agreed to join the new American confederation by being one of the last of the former colonies ratifying the long proposed Articles in 1781, when they took effect. Later that same decade, Maryland became the seventh state to ratify the stronger government structure proposed in the new U.S. Constitution in 1788.

Magpies
Magpies are one of my favorite birds. They also inspire strong emotions in humans. They are familiar in the Bear Lake valley and
across the West. They are not found in
the eastern states. Magpies are intelligent, adaptable and bold. These attributes they are both admired and
loathed. They are considered an
annoyance and inconvenience by some they're also highly social may leave gifts
for humans that feed them. Like other
intelligent opportunistic corvids (ravens, crows, jays) magpies take advantage
of resources whenever they can find them.
Magpies are probably known to scavenge garbage, eat carrion, and steal
poorly guarded pet food and raid picnics. This gives the birds a bad reputation
and many people consider them as pests. People
used to believe that they drank cow’s blood but in fact they were up on the
back of the cow just picking ticks off it.
They have a special place in mythology as well. Magpies are recognized as messengers by numerous
indigenous cultures in North America. They would spread air to humans or carry news
within the Creator. A widespread story is how magpies were helping humans and
birds alike and were given the honor of the wearing the rainbow of iridescence on
the bird's tails and wings.
They are interesting birds with a complex life history. They build reusable, large, dome shaped nests and parents aggressively protect their young. The young birds are vocal and may drive you crazy with their squawking. A group of magpies may come together with other family groups to “mob” other birds and animals. Magpies are one of the few species that hold funerals. When one of them dies, it will be surrounded by up flock that makes a ruckus of sounds for fifteen minutes before becoming silent and flying off. Take some time and watch their antics and behavior. You may even learn to like them as I do.

Scholarships
CentraCom is giving away six scholarships.
It’s the time of year when high school seniors are thinking about the next great step in their lives—college. They are thinking about where to go, where to live, and what classes to take. College is a wonderful experience, but it can get expensive in a hurry. Application fees, tuition, student fees, housing, books… the list goes on and on.
We are committed to helping the students in our service areas achieve their goal of a college education. For the past 23 years, CentraCom has offered scholarships to eligible high school seniors planning to attend college. This has been a great opportunity not only to serve our community but to get to know future leaders of America.
We are pleased to announce that we have again partnered with Snow College to bring even larger scholarship value. We will give away six scholarships with an initial value of $750. If the recipient chooses to attend Snow College, the scholarship from CentraCom will be $1,500 and Snow College will match $500 raising the value to $2,000. The scholarship may be used for any college expense, such as tuition, books, housing, etc.
But hurry. The application deadline is April 10, 2026!
