To hear today’s forecast, click on start button below: Rep. Martin Causer (R-Turtlepoint) has introduced two measures related to the forestry industry, including one that aims to bring transparency to the process of establishing forest conservation easements. House Bill 2148 would establish several requirements that must be met when public funding is involved in an easement purchase. Among the proposed requirements are public notification that an easement is proposed, compliance with a sustainable forest management plan, availability of the land for outdoor recreational activities such as public hunting, and approval of the easement by the Hardwoods Development Council within the Department of Agriculture. “Forest conservation easements can be a valuable tool for conservation efforts. However, when public resources are used to purchase these easements, taxpayers deserve to know the details of the project before the easement is executed,” Causer said. collier fantaisie femme argent collierpascher11924 “The Commonwealth has long had a process in place for designating agriculture conservation easements; we should absolutely be doing the same for forest conservation easements.” In 2018, the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) loaned $50 million to Lyme Timber Company to help the company purchase more than 60,000 acres of private forestland in five counties. As part of the agreement, the company placed more than 9,000 acres into a permanent working forest conservation easement with the option for the Commonwealth to purchase additional easements on the remaining 50,000 acres over the next seven years. There was virtually no public notice of the project until it was approved by PENNVEST. In addition to the easement bill, Causer introduced House Bill 2149 which would expand membership on the Hardwoods Development Council within the Department of Agriculture. The bill would add a logger and a forester to the council, provide for representation from all three hardwood utilization groups (HUGs), and guarantee representation on the council by the largest HUG, the Allegheny Hardwood Utilization Group. Both bills were referred to the House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee for consideration. McKean County Judge John H. collier homme avec inscription 720collierpascher7722 Pavlock on Thursday sentenced 29 year old Christopher Ryan Yohe, of Bradford, to a term of incarceration of 10 years to 20 years in state prison. The defendant had been convicted following a two day jury trial in McKean County Court on August 26 and August 27, 2019, of Rape (Felony 1); Sexual Assault (Felony 2); Aggravated Indecent Assault (Felony 2); Criminal Trespass (Felony 3); Indecent Assault (Misdemeanor 2); Unlawful Restraint (Misdemeanor 1); and Burglary (Felony 1) that occurred in Foster Township. bracelet cuir fit bit 718braceletpascher1361 The defendant will also have to register under the Sex Offender Registration Notification Act, formerly “Megan’s Law,” for his lifetime. The case was investigated by Patrolman Shaun McDonald and Patrolman Michael Spencer of the Foster Township Police Department. District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer prosecuted the case on behalf of the Commonwealth. On June 14, 2018, the victim received a phone call from Yohe in which he stated he wanted to see her. She soon discovered he was in her house when he made the call and then sexually assaulted her. He left the area but was apprehended in Somerset County and was returned to McKean County to face the charges. bisaer offre speciale 925 en argent sterling amour coeur bague de doigt clair cubique zircon anneaux reglables pour les femmes bague bijoux ecr491 Troopers at the Emporium barracks have charged 21 year old Clay Bopucher with numerous crimes related to proclaiming he had been honorably discharged from the US Navy. swarovski collier coeur 2016 collierpascher11597 Felony charges of dealing in proceeds of unlawful activities, criminal trespass, theft by deception, tampering with public records or information and misdemeanor counts of securing execution of documents by deception and three misdemeanor counts of unsworn falsification to authorities for receiving housing assistance have been filed in district court.
