Proven Leadership at St.
Mary's Sheriff's Dept: Act II As if it wasn't enough that the only suicide which has ever taken place at the St. Mary's County Jail took place while Sheriff Zylak was the commander, and also the only rape, now two more incidents have taken place. A man being held in protective custody was the victim of another inmate who committed sex offences against him. In addition, the FBI arrived at the jail and took into custody the chief cook for the jail. Sheriff Zylak's Chef, who must prepare sumptuous meals for the Sheriff and his wife, was wanted on a federal warrant but he was safe hiding out in the kitchen of the Sheriff's jail. Two Inmates Dead but Big Bucks Flow to Sheriff Zylak's Campaign Kitty Two persons who died recently at the St. Mary's Jail may have lived had they been given proper medical care but the medical care provider has been providing money to Sheriff Zylak's reelection campaign such as this listing on the campaign contribution records of Zylak filed with the State of Maryland.

A Pole in One for Drunk
Driver LEONARDTOWN (Sept. 16 10 pm) A drunk driver crashed his pickup into a pole at Rt. 4/5 intersection south of Leonardtown and was seen running down the highway in some sort of uniform. Police say he was the only occupant of the vehicle. Gas may be leaking from the truck as it perches against the light pole. The driver may have been hoofing it to his home which is located nearby. He had good reason to run as his drivers license is revoked and suspended with 12 current points, but he never fails to have a Fritz for States Attorney sign posted in his front yard at each election. It must be a lucky sign. Driver Was Suicidal, Intoxicated When He Intentionally Hit Tree LEONARDTOWN --- Police say that a local man was trying to kill himself when he ran his vehicle head-on into a tree on Maypole Road on Friday. Police say that the man attempted to kill himself and suffered head injuries. Police conducted a reconstruction of the scene due to the nature of the crash, according to St. Mary's Sheriff's Patrol Division Commander Lt. Dan Alioto. |

| Ruthless Rednecks Man stabbed in lung and heart during argument over who gets to sit in the middle of the pickup truck on the way to work; LISTED IN CRITICAL CONDITION Coast Guard Relents Over Gen. Jubal Early POOLESVILLE ---- The venerable Whites Ferry company's Gen. Jubal Early, a small ferryboat which shuttles a half dozen vehicles at a time back and forth across the narrow Potomac River north of Poolesville, which had been ordered shut down by the Coast Guard was allowed to continue to operate after the owner of the company promised to have a licensed operator on board at all times. The Coast Guard, in three spot checks, had found the ferry was being operated by an unlicensed operator and issued an order to close down the popular commuter route between Montgomery County and Loudon County. The ferry is the last such conveyance over the Potomac River and is named for a Confederate General who led his army thru the river to Maryland where it began a raid which threatened the Union capital, invading south through Rockville but abandoning plans to eventually lay siege to Point Lookout prisoner of war camp and free thousands of Confederate prisoners. |

Bush was at the Piney Point home of the Seafarer's Harry Lundeberg School of Seamanship, a visit which was scheduled for last Labor Day but canceled due to Hurricane Katrina's strike on the Gulf Coast. The Presidentl visited the Paul Hall Center at the school, which serves as a resort for union members and for upgrading education for Seafarers as well as entry education for maritime workers aboard ships. President Clinton visited St. Mary's County on July 4, 1998 when he let an eagle free at Pax River. The eagle was quickly attacked by Osprey and was nursed back to health before being let loose again. Presidents have made many trips to Piney Point, mostly during the 1800's when they visited the Piney Point Lighthouse by ship from Washington, where they would spend summer days getting away from the sultry heat in the nation's capital. |
