  Maryland Comptroller candidate Peter Franchot, left, toured the Hackerman site on Indian Bridge Road on Thursday with Del. John Bohanan and Sen. Roy Dyson. At right is former St. Mary's Commissioner Robert Jarboe and citizen activist Linda Vallandingham, both of whom have led the effort to keep state park land from being turned over to a Baltimore developer in a back room deal concocted by Maryland Gov. Bob Ehrlich and endorsed by St. Mary's Commissioner President Tommy McKay. After touring the state land endangered by the proposed handover at a cheap price to the developer, Franchot had lunch with Bohanan and Dyson at Mama Leone's Brick Oven Pizza in Callaway where he told Bill Callaway that he would be a common sense Comptroller who would be attentive to the needs and problems of small businesses in their dealings with the state government.

Pilots
who landed chopper upside
down at St. Mary's Fairgrounds on Friday the 13th respond to
jabs at the quality of their piloting skills with barbs and
threats. ..one caller who said her name is Catherine Graham, threatened a lawsuit, presumably it will be filed by the Commander in Cheese, George Bush. "I am going to call a real newspaper" she huffed and then hung up before she answered if that real newspaper was the Emptyprize. Maybe this babe with the southern accent was referring to the McKay Election Gazette, otherwise known as the McKayprize. Another brave soul, who simply listed his name as Concerned Citizen, had this to say, " So what your saying is that it doesn't matter what the cause of the accident was, weather human or mechanical failure, you automatically label our military personnel as BOZO's? Yep sounds like a SMIB statement if ever saw one, you nobody.

Bozo Pilots Landed
Chopper Upside Down ST. MARY'S TODAY photo Military personnel were on the scene of this wrecked helicopter all weekend trying to figure out how the pilots managed to land it upside down and walk away uninjured. Perhaps this type of landing will become a new style for these very talented pilots. Will these pilots be sent back to flight school? Did the graduate from the Three Stooges Academy of Flight? If they are sent overseas, will they be sent to Australia where they will be right side up whenever they land? Chopper ran out of luck on Friday the 13th, had these guys as crew...

| Plane Crash
Faulty Landing Gear Causes Total Loss to Plane at St. Mary's Airport  The Good Side: Close but no cigar....you can't see the charred right side of this BE 200 King Air as it sat on the side of the runway at St. Mary's Airport. This plane lost it's landing gear upon landing at around noon today, causing the right wing to snap off and burn, with a total loss to the aircraft, of up to $1.2 million. The plane, owned by Steve Bildman of Aerotech, is used under contract to the Navy and is based at St. Mary's Airport. 3 persons, including two pilots were on board and were lucky to escape the fire when the right wing broke off. When the plane first hit ground, fire immediately began to spread. The airport was forced to close for the day. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. ST. MARY'S TODAY aviation writer Jim Davis reports that the pilots took evasive action when the gear actuator switch failed and were able to avoid serious injury or loss of life. ST.

Just look at the parking lot of the world headquarters of the St. Mary's Sheriff's Department between 8 am and 4 pm, it fills up to the gills....at 4 pm it empties out as dozens of deputies leave their desk jobs and go home in taxpayer provided vehicles...yet Sheriff Zylak always asks for two things: more deputies and a raise for his wife...why does he pay his wife overtime for her clerical job? Answer: the commissioners wouldn't fund a raise for her so he gets around the funding problem by giving her unlimited overtime....he gives his honey your money while she hires her family to work at many jobs in the sheriff's office, making Nepotism the number one order of business. ELECTION YEAR QUIZ FOR SHERIFF ZYLAK: Answer these questions if you can: With shootings in nice neighborhoods, bar brawls and murders, thugs running wild at the county fair, Leonardtown fireman's carnival ended this year due to fights; where is the law and order, where are the police? With the money being spent on law enforcement, why all of the crime and mayhem? What are you doing to actually slow down traffic, put an end to drug trafficking and stop the murders and gun play? Will you admit the existence of gang activity in St. Mary's? ACCOUNTABILITY FOR STATE POLICE SUPERINTENDENT COL. TIM HUTCHINS: With the population of Southern Maryland tripling over the past 30 years, why does the State Police have less troopers assigned to the region than 30 years ago? What are you doing about the out-of-control crime, rampant shootings and reckless violence? What are you doing about gangs and bikers? Is there really a 'War on Drugs' or is it all a publicity stunt?
