From FoxNews.com June 7: "PITTSBURGH — The National Park Service is clashing with a landowner at the site of the Flight 93 crash over a cash donation box he installed there that relatives of Sept. 11 victims say is an insult to their memories.
The Park Service placed a black plastic trash bag over the box Wednesday, and sent Mike Svonavec a letter asking him to remove it by Friday. Svonavec owns 273 acres of the 1,300 acres east of Pittsburgh in Shanksville, Pa., where a $58 million permanent memorial and national park are planned.
"I have no intentions of removing the box from my property," Svonavec said Thursday. "My only plans are to try to cooperate with the Park Service with regard to the sale of the property."
Svonavec said he installed the donation box Saturday to cover security costs. He said that he has been paying a private security company about $10,000 a month since federal funding ran out in February, and that the site has incurred other costs, such as taxes and canceled leases.
The Park Service has a contract with Svonavec to use the land.
"The bottom line is we feel the National Park Service can't effectively carry out our mission without exercising the exclusive use and control of the site as provided for in our agreement with the property owners," Flight 93 Memorial Superintendent Joanne Hanley told the Daily American of Somerset. -----

The latest on alleged 9/11 photographer Val McClatchy from Flight 93 Photo Fraud blog February 11, 2007: "There has been an ongoing debate as to whether Val is able to profit from the sales of her photo. Some say that Val is unable to profit from any of the prints she sells because, as the website that advertises Val’s photo states, checks are to be made out to the Todd Beamer Foundation.
[...] However, if all the checks are made out to the charity, how does Val get reimbursed $2 per print she keeps to cover for supplies and shipping and how is she able to keep some of the proceeds she admits keeping in order to help fight her lawsuit against the AP?
I’ve pointed out before that in at least one occasion, a magazine that had advertised Val’s photo for sale did not say to write checks out to the Beamer Foundation, but told people to make it out in Val’s name. I’ve also argued that it’s possible that people going to her work to buy a print might be able to pay cash for it.
I have also wondered how many people who went to the website that advertises Val’s photo where it says to write checks out to the Beamer Foundation accidentally goofed and wrote their check out in Val’s name and still got a print, so to test out this theory, I had someone “accidentally” write out a check in Val's name:
...to and he got one of these.
Remember, it’s by the honor system that Val forwards her proceeds. Let’s just hope Val is true to her word and forwards $18 from this check to the Beamer Foundation. ----- Labels: photo fakery, shanksville .....---
