Purchase Line approves teacher conference requests By WENDY SZAKELYHIDI Gazette Staff Assistant PURCHASE LINE The Purchase Line School Board approved six teacher conference requests Thursday night at a meeting that was continued from the regular monthly meeting on Monday. This action was the latest move in the ongoing controversy over whether the school board is living up to its Professional Development Plan. The board voted 7-0 to allow Colleen Myers, Diane Fenton, Cheryl Camp, Celinda Scott, Mary Frances Marsh and Miriam Oaks, with one student, to attend conferences this summer. Allen Baker, Shirley Fleming, Dennis Bathurst and Doyle Smith all voted to approve the measure.

On Monday night, Marcia Bender, president of the Purchase Line Education Association, said those four often prevent teacher conferences that don't involve students and state or federal funds from being approved when all nine board members are not present. "For whatever reasons, we're glad they voted yes," Bender said. "We are happy we were able to have some of our teachers go for conferences." Superintendent Dwight Brocious said he doesn't know why the four voted in favor of the measures. "One of them did make a comment in passing that if the teachers are going to give up their summer, he appreciated it." Brocious said. Hearing held on sludge as fertilizer GRANGE About 100 people attended a public hearing concerning an application to use sewage sludge as an agricultural fertilizer in Ringgold Township, Jefferson County.

The hearing was conducted Thursday night by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources at Mapleview Elementary School. Bio Gro Systems, of Baltimore has applied for DER's permission to use sludge from the Allegheny County Sewage Authority (ALCOSAN) on tracts totaling about 280 acres owned by J.C. Enterprises and the Martz farm in Ringgold Township. About 30 people, many of them opposed to the sludge application, offered testimony. Most of those speaking out against the application were members of People Against Sewage Sludge (PASS) an organization that has been battling the proposed project since its inception two years ago.

James Rozakis of DER conducted the hearing, taking verbal and written testimony. DER will accept written testimony on the sludge application until July 6.

"Not all conferences are in the summer," she says. "I would hope that when school starts they will continue to vote in favor of professional development for teachers." The PLEA had gone to the board several times since last September with complaints that it failed to approve conferences, although local funds had been appropriated for them.

The PLEA says the board's failure to approve conference re quests violates the Professional Development Plan Act 178 instituted at the beginning of last school year and renewed at the board's May meeting. In April, Bender wrote a letter to the Pennsylvania Department of Education asking for enforcement of Act 178 in the PL school district. At Monday's meeting, Smith referred to the letter, denying that the board constantly turns down requests and criticizing the PLEA for taking its complaints beyond the school board. The approval sends Myers to the ARIN conference "Effective Presentation and Public Speaking," Ju- Parking group planning more long spots Indiana Borough Parking Authority plans to convert half of the lot behind the Rose Building to longterm rental spaces. At its meeting Wednesday, the authority said plans have not been completed, but the idea is to create more spaces that can be rented by the month by people working downtown.

The lot, bordered by Eighth Street, Church Street and Gompers Avenue, has 80 parking spaces. Plans are to convert half of those to Jong-term spaces. Seven spaces on Eighth Street that are reserved for doctors will be changed to metered parking and the doctor spaces will be moved to the long-term section of the lot. The conversion probably will take effect after the lot is repaved in July since it will require changing the double-headed parking meters to single-headed meters. The authority hopes to have the conversion completed before the start of the fall term at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
