Land Trust gains tax-exempt status, ready to take action By RONALD BARTIZEK Post Editor The Back Mountain Regional Land Trust is ready to accept conservation easements and other forms of land preservation, presi- - dent Will Conyngham told the Back Mountain Business and Professional Association last week. The Land Trust, which was established with the goal of pre- serving the rural character of the region, has received legal tax- exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service. That will allow it to accept property, establish ease- ments or otherwise restrict devel- opment of open land, in a manner the landowner desires. Land may be donated or sold to the trust, or a conservation ease- ment or life estate may be created to protect it. In the latter cases, the trust becomes a third party responsible for maintaining the provisions of the restrictions. Conyngham explained that Land Trust transactions are struc- tured to meet the desires of the landowner, and can offer finan- cial advantages. For example, he said, since restricting development could lower the value of real es- tate, by working with the Land Trust the owner could claim the lossinvalueasadeduction against income for tax purposes. A successful land trust has operated in the Williamsport area for several years, and has pre- served hundreds of acres of land, Conyngham said. In northwest- ern Connecticut, The Salisbury Land Trust has operated for 20 years, protecting 6,000 acres of land. While the local trust had seen some interest in the past, it had been unable to officially accept land or construct agreements because it lacked official tax-ex- empt status. With that in hand, Conyngham hopes activity will accelerate. Anyone interested in learning more about the Back Mountain Regional Land Trust may write to P.O. Box B, Shavertown, PA 18708, or call Will Conyngham at 696-2881. Shoemaker UM to hold Harvest Festival A Harvest Festival will be held September 24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with crafts, a bake sale, food and refreshments, at the Shoemaker Memorial United Methodist Church, 571 West Eighth St., West Wyo- ming.

DOVE Post Staff The Lehman Township super- visors took a bid with a grain of salt at their regular September 19 meeting, when they accepted a bid for road salt from Akzo for 225 tons at $34.95 per ton, delivered. Noting that this price is $2 more than last year, roadmaster Doug Ide said the township had used approximately 300 tons of road salt last winter. The supervisors voted to buy a tailgate ash spreader from Penn Hazle Equipment for $1,640, cash and carry. | Ide announced that paving on the following roads will begin about the first week in October, weather permitting: Walnut Woods Drive, Lakeside Drive at Lake Silkworth, Fedor Road, Cease Terrace, Carroll Street, Pearl Street, Roaring Brook Road and Sawmill Road. Lehman Since each road will be closed while it is being paved, residents will be notified of the paving sched- ule as soon as possible, Ide said. “We want to pave without seams, so that we get a stronger and better paving job,” he said. “This will mean closing the road for a couple of hours while the work is being done, but it's worth the inconvenience.” A report from the Department of Environmental Resources about “raw sewage and black muck” allegedly leaking into Lake Silk- worth from two cottages was re- ferred to sewage enforcement offi- cer Frank Eginsky for investiga tion. : The supervisors reminded resi- dents, especially those living in residential areas, to avoid open .-. burning of plastics and materials which produce noxious smoke and fumes during the fall leaf-clearing season. (continued from page 1) Gold and Moss said that the entire board didn't have input into the salary package. Under the new agreement, ele- mentary principals Charles C. James and Robert S. Kunkle will earn $59,864, an increase of $2,080 over last year. Middle level building principal Robert O. Roberts will earn $62,651, an increase of $2,136, while psychologist/supervisor of special education Regina Corbett will earn $56,783, an increase of $1,973. Senior high school principal John J. Oliver will earn $66,382, or $2,307 more than last year, while assistant senior high prin- cipal Frederick Sponenburg will earn $55,547, an increase of $1,930. Supervisor of buildings and grounds Stanley Mazur's salary of $34,188 is an increase of $1,188. Food service director Joyce Coolbaugh's $23,040 sal- ary reflects an increase of $801. Presper and Moss also voted against approving the creation of a junior high cross-country pro- gram at no cost to the district. Team members will share sup- plies with the senior high and be coached by volunteers. , ‘I'm not against athletics,” Presper said. “I'm concerned that this will end up costing us money later. We have enough athletics already and could better spend our money on education.” “It seems that our major thrust is music and athletics, ratherthan | education,” Moss added. In other business, the board voted to: e Hire Shavertown resident John Sobocinski as a teacher associate, to work during the school year as a teacher's aide in special education classes for $8 per hour. * Approve a list of coaches and substitute teachers. * Award bids for graduation supplies and spring sports equip- ment.
