Jackson (continued from page 1) last month that we would be in the building in 45 days, that we still must wait 45 days to take posses- sion?” asked supervisor Walter Glogowski. alt will be 45 days after I notify th bonding company, whichI can't do until July 22,” Evans replied. Evans said that the contractor had caused the delay by stalling in its communications with the bond- ing company. ' In other business, supervisors unanimously adopted an ordi- nance designating more than 2,100 acres belonging to 53 landowners as an agricultural security area for the next 7 years. +. The voluntary program protects farms from condemnation for any reason by any government agency ® prevents townships from wicting any “nuisance” ordi- nances which might interfere with normal farming activity. Evans dic that municipalities contain- ing, agricultural security areas are not"allowed to have a toxic waste disposal site. Ellen Chopiak was appointed to fill the unexpired term of auditor Regina Major, at the state-man- dated per diem rate of $30 per five- hour day. Supervisors voted to apply for state funding to help offset $200,000 spent in removing six oil storage tanks and nearly 1,300 tons of contaminated soil from the municipal building site, an un- pleasant spring surprise which contributed to delaying the open- ing of the township building. “This loan program was designed for municipalities in our situation,’ with interest at a much lower rate than banks are currently offering,” Glogowski explained. “We're trying to save the taxpayers’ money by applying for a state loan.” The next work session is sched- uled for Monday, July 27, at 7 p.m.. The next regular supervisors’ meeting will be Monday, August 3, at 7:30 p.m. Learning to plant a tree The children participating in Kingston Township recreation pro- gram learned first-hand how to properly plant a tree on July 1. Cy Chadwick, chairman of the Kingston Township Recreation Board, lowers a tree into its new home at the Center Street Recreation Park July 1. Behind Chadwick is Wil Gantz, owner of Dallas Tree and Shrub Preservation, who donated the Zalcova tree and helped Chadwick dig the hole. The tree-planting was one event in a week of environment-related activities planned by the recreation pro- gram counselors, Kristen Gladey, Tammy Dickson, Samantha Dzurenda, and supervisor Melissa Kohli. Gantz said told the children that in 15 years the tree, similar to an elm, would be bigger than any other in park, and that he would check on the tree to make sure it stayed healthy.

Celebrating Wilkes-Barre Triathlon is moving to Penn State Penn State University has agreed to become one of the principal sponsors for the 1992 Wilkes-Barre Triathlon, scheduled for Sunday, August 16. The race, an Olympic Distance event now in its 11th year, will begin at Harveys Lake. The run segment and finish area for this world class event, formerly located at College Misericordia, will be held this year at the Penn State Wilkes- Barre campus in Lehman. According to Race Co-Director James Harris III, the decision to move the race festivities away from the College was made reluctantly. “We have had 10 great years of racing at Misericordia,” Harris said. “However, the growth of the college facilities over the years has made it more and more dificult for us to stage our event. This year, the ongoing construction project for the new Health Center at the col- lege made it virtually impossible for us to plan our activities.” The Triathlon, which is expected to draw more than 500 athletes from the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, is sponsored by Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, United Penn/Mellon Bank, Mrs. T's Pier- ogies and Bud Light.
