Ridge veteran reflects on Navy service on 100th birthday
When Charlie Simms first drove down to St. Mary’s County on his motorcycle in 1949, he had to stop at Hole in the Wall, a local bar, to ask for directions. The now traffic-congested Three Notch Road was a simple dirt path at the time, and Naval Air Station Patuxent River was one of the only landmarks for miles. Attendees at Hole in the Wall bar told Simms to “just keep driving.” Simms, who turned 100 last month, spent 23 years in the Navy. The Ridge resident first enlisted at the end of World War II when he was 17 and one of five children in Oklahoma. His son, Glen Simms, said his father enlisted to get “three meals a day and clothes.” “I stayed in the Navy” when the war ended, Charlie said. “I didn’t want to go back to Oklahoma. The Navy was good to me.” While stationed in Jacksonville, Florida, Charlie kept an eye on German prisoners.

Grace Street’s purple boxes offer 24-hour access to naloxone
EASTON — Bright purple boxes across the Mid-Shore give people around-the-clock access and wound care kits. Grace Street, a recovery community organization based in Easton, began placing the boxes about two years ago. Kelley Callaghan, founder and director of Grace Street Easton, said the boxes are nicknamed Barneys because their bright purple color reminds people of Barney the dinosaur. Each box weighs about 20 pounds and has a base that can be filled with water to keep it in place. Grace Street restocks the outdoor boxes weekly. The organization describes them on its flyer as having “no barriers, just grab and go.” In Talbot County, boxes are at the Neighborhood Service Center and Days Inn in Easton and at Kronsberg Park in Tilghman. In Caroline County, they are at St. Luke’s Church in Denton, Lucky’s Corner in Federalsburg and a bus stop off Morris Avenue in Federalsburg. In Dorchester County, boxes are at Stop Shop in Hurlock and at Groove City Mini Market and Agape Temple of Praise & Ministries in Cambridge. In Queen Anne’s County, a box is at Go Mart in Church Hill. “Anybody can go up to them and open the door and grab naloxone, grab test
