Hillsborough Raider Diamond Club donates pies to local food bank By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

Every fall, the Hillsborough Raider Diamond Club holds a pie sale to help raise money for the Hillsborough High School baseball program. In addition to selling pies, the Diamond Club also donated pies from both Griggstown Farm and Super Sundaes to the Hillsborough Food Bank this Thanksgiving. The Diamond Club donated a total of 39 pies to the food bank on Nov. 23, helping those in need have a traditional holiday meal during these tough times. “It was nice to give people close to a real Thanksgiving as they usually do,” Hillsborough Raider Diamond Club President Fred Versaci said. “The more we can do, the better.” Versaci was pitched the idea of donating pies to the food bank by Amy Radomski, who found out that the food bank was organizing Thanksgiving dinners for families who were hit hard this year by the coronavirus pandemic. Radomski was told that the food bank didn’t have any desserts as part of the meal and thought it was a good idea to suggest to Versaci

that the club make it an option to donate pies to the food bank as part of its fundraiser. “It’s wonderful to help support the community,” Radomski said. “It’s a great thing.”

Versaci was all for Radomski’s “great idea” and gave the go ahead to Rebecca Barajas, the club’s pie sale chairperson, to coordinate with the food bank on how many pies they needed.

Barajas was told that there were around 43 families that would be given Thanksgiving meals from the food bank. She then reached out to all the parents of the players in the pro-

gram about donating pies to the food bank. “We had a lot of parents generously donate pies to the food bank,” Barajas said. “We were able to help the majority of families that were receiving a Thanksgiving meal.” Prices to purchase a pie from both establishments ranged from $18-$24. As for the baseball program’s pie sale, the Diamond Club sold a total of 663 pies and made a total of $13,115. The 663 pies top last year’s sale of 294 pies. Barajas credits the success of the sale to the outreach from parents and the Diamond Club on social media. “We did really well,” Barajas said. “The community was very supportive of our cause.” For the remainder of the month, the Diamond Club will be running its annual Rent a Raider fundraiser, where people in the Hillsborough community can “borrow” players from the baseball team for $12 an hour to assist them with any chores around the house. “It’s who the baseball team is,” Barajas said. “They’re good people. They have a real sense of community and responsibility of helping the community.”

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign begins Law enforcement officials will be cracking down on drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs as part of the annual end of year “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” statewide campaign. Through Jan. 1, 2021, local and state law enforcement officials will conduct saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints looking for motorists who may be driving while intoxicated. The national effort endeavors to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving through a combination of high-visibility enforcement and public education. During the last five years

New Jersey has experienced more than 36,000 alcohol involved crashes resulting in 648 fatalities, according to provided information. Last year, 22% of all motor vehicle fatalities in New Jersey were alcohol-related. Nationally, 10,551 died in 2018 in drunk driving crashes. The societal cost associated with these crashes is estimated to be $44 billion annually, according to the statement. Law enforcement agencies participating in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over 2020 Year End Holiday Crackdown offer the following advice for the holiday season:

• Take mass transit, a taxicab, or ask a sober friend to drive you home. • Spend the night where the activity or party is held. • If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement. • Always buckle-up, every ride. • If you are intoxicated and traveling on foot, the safest way to get home is to take a cab or have a sober friend or family member drive or escort you to your doorstep. • Be responsible. If someone you know is drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel.

Special Feature: Get a Glimpse of the Geminids

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

The pandemic has thwarted many travel plans this year, which can be especially disheartening during the holiday season. Fortunately, there is an event that one can safely enjoy while staying close to home: the Geminid meteor shower, the best meteor shower of the year.

The Geminids begin in early December, and they are typically viewable from 9 p.m. until the early morning. Though the meteor shower can be seen earlier, it will peak during the dark hours of Dec. 13 to 14. This is when the rate of meteors per hour will be at a maximum; for this shower, it is approximately 75 meteors per hour. Dec. 13’s new moon should help ensure dark conditions throughout the night, making the show even more spectacular. The best time to view the shower is at 2 a.m., as this is when its radiant will be positioned highest in the sky. A meteor shower’s radiant is the point in the sky from which the meteors appear to fall; for the Geminid meteor shower, this is the constellation Gemini. One can find Gemini by looking northeast from

the constellation Orion, which is easily identifiable by its distinctive “belt” of three stars. However, meteors can still be observed in any part of the sky, so one should not limit where they look to the shower’s radiant point. Observers can view the Geminids in any area that is sufficiently dark. Those living in the suburbs will likely see a good amount of meteors from their front yard. However, local dark sites, like state parks, are the best viewing locations. Viewing tools like binoculars and telescopes are not needed to watch the shower; in fact, it is much better to take in the entire sky at once with the naked eye. Resist the urge to use electronic devices while viewing; aside from being distracting, technology usage can make it harder to tune one’s

eyes to the darkness of the sky. What exactly are meteor showers? They are typically a result of Earth’s annual movement through different areas of comet debris. As a comet passes closer to the Sun, particles of ice and dust are removed from its surface, creating a trail that follows the comet. Some comets have paths that overlap with that of Earth; at these intersection points, particles from their tails can enter Earth’s atmosphere. These particles, often the size of sand grains, burn in the atmosphere. The process produces visible light, which we observe as meteors. The Geminids are unlike most other meteor showers in that their source is an object more similar to an asteroid than a comet. Their origin, 3200 Phaethon, is thought to be a “rock comet” that has been

stripped of its dusty outer layer. Its debris consists of denser, rocky material; these particles burn slower upon entry into the atmosphere, which makes the Geminids brighter than other meteor showers.

CHRISTINE’S HOPE FOR KIDS Jean and John Gianacaci, the founders of Christine’s Hope for Kids, dreamed of one day writing a book to honor their daughter, Christine, who loved helping kids, especially kids who were treated unfairly because of their differences. While she herself was bullied as a child, because of Tourette’s, she was upbeat, kind, and always the first to help someone who needed her help. That was Christine. Because of what Christine experienced, Jean and John wanted to do something about bullying. They partnered with Linda Martin, a friend and a Christine’s Hope for Kids board member, to write a story that addressed bullying. That story is told in a way every child can relate to in ALWAYS BETTER TOGETHER...A Story of Acceptance, Friendship and Love. It teaches children important lessons about accepting people’s differences and the remarkable power of kindness. About Christine’s Hope for Kids... Christines’s Hope for Kids is a local non-profit with one abiding principle. That every child deserves to be a kid, regardless of his or her circumstances. The foundation was inspired by Christine Gianacaci, the daughter of Jean and John, who lost her life when an earthquake struck while she was on a mission in Haiti to help underprivileged children. In the eleven years since its inception, Christine’s Hope for Kids has dispersed over $1,000,000 to 130 local agencies, providing tens of thousands of children with the kind of things most children take for granted. The proceeds from the sale of this book will enable Christine’s Hope for Kids to help even more underserved children in our very own communities. ALWAYS BETTER TOGETHER is a great gift for every child this holiday. It can be purchased for $24.95 at chistineshope.org, and in Pennington at Artistic Designs, Emily’s Cafe, Orion Jewelry Studio, Pennington Quality Market, Rosedale Mills, The Front Porch and Twirl Toy Store. Also in Lawrenceville at Enzo’s La Piccola Cucina and in Robbinsville at Salon Xtraordinare. To learn more about Christine’s Hope for Kids, please visit christineshope.org. NM-00447717

While decorating for the holidays is a tradition, too often strings of burnt out or damaged holiday lights end up being tossed out with household garbage. There is a greener way to properly dispose of these decorations. Instead of discarding non-working lights in the trash, the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders want residents to give them a second life by bringing them to the county’s Resource Recovery Complex, where a permanent electronics disposal center is staffed from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and from 7-11:30 a.m. Saturdays. The Resource Recovery Center is located at 22000 Burlington-Columbus Road on the Florence-Mansfield border. Holiday lights are most often made of plastic, glass and copper and all three materials can be easily recycled. Also, some light strands may contain lead or mercury, so tossing them in the garbage can be hazardous. Unwanted lights should be placed in cardboard boxes or clear bags when delivering them to the Recovery Complex. Lights should not be discarded in curbside recycling containers. For more information about proper disposal of electronics, call 609-499-1001 or email recycle@co.burlington.nj.us.

Thursdays, through December 31 A support group for public health employees will be held at 4 p.m. Thursdays in December.

By Gabrielle Nierenberg Imagine sitting in the pilot seat and looking straight out to the horizon to see the blue skies and clouds. And then when you look to your right you see the Philadelphia skyline and to your left New York City the skyline. Flying is an incredible feeling. Talk about seeing the world from a different perspective. Ok, maybe you have flown in a commercial plane to Florida or Utah, but there is something so unique about flying in a single engine airplane. When flying in a Cessna Skyhawk, you are seeing the world from a completely different view than on the ground or a commercial jet. The Princeton Flying School at the Princeton Airport offers an extraordinary experience of an Introductory Flying Lesson. In the beginning you will go

through a pre-flight inspection to ensure the airplane is ready for flight, as all pilots do. Then, you will spend an hour in the air with a certified flight instructor going over some basic maneuvers. You will even get a chance to fly the airplane yourself! But do not worry; there are dual controls in the planes, so the instructor is there to assist you the entire time. When people return from their first Introductory Flying Lesson they are elated and often speechless. Many have said it was their dream to fly a plane, and it finally came true! This is a very special hour. Not only is this a special experience, but it counts as your first hour towards getting your Private Pilot’s License. Many students are inspired during their Introductory Flying Lesson to continue to study and train for

their Private Pilot’s License, while others are completely captivated by this hour and feel fulfilled. Either way, flying an airplane is something very special and you have the power to be the one who makes this experience possible. An Introductory Flying Lesson is the perfect gift to give to that someone who seems to have everything and you just don’t know what to buy. What better gift than an experience of a lifetime. This holiday season struggle no more when it comes to gift giving. As long as they are tall enough to reach the pedals, they can fly. Call 609-921-3100 for more information or visit us on the web at www. PrincetonFlyingSchool.com Happy flying!

Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Trauma P

sychological trauma – emotional damage that occurs as a result of a distressing event or series of events – can be caused by many things, from a sudden, unexpected incident such as the loss of a loved one, to long-term exposure to abuse. And while in some cases the origin of trauma may be obvious, in other instances it may stem from a concept called intergenerational trauma—trauma that is passed down within family generations. No matter the source, trauma can affect your ability to cope with stressful situations and increases the risk for behavioral health disorders such as depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health offers a variety of treatment options to help people dealing with trauma learn to identify and understand its impact on their lives and build new, healthier patterns of behavior that can break the intergenerational cycle.

Signs of Psychological Trauma Trauma can have a profound impact on your personality and the way you experience emotions, from how you manage and tolerate anger to how you experience excitement. Signs of psychological trauma include: • Shock, denial, or disbelief • Confusion, difficulty concentrating • Anger, irritability, mood swings • Anxiety, fear • Guilt, shame, self-blame • Withdrawal from others • Sadness or hopelessness • Disconnection or numbness Moreover, according to the National Council for Behavioral Health, there is a direct correlation between trauma and physical health conditions such as diabetes, COPD, heart disease, cancer, and high blood pressure. Seventy Percent of Adults Seventy percent of adults in the United States – or 223.4 million people – have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives, according to the National Council for Behavioral Health. Trauma can stem from: • Childhood abuse or neglect • Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse • Accidents and natural disasters • Witnessing acts of violence • Grief and loss • Medical interventions • War and other forms of violence In addition, there is a growing body of research that shows that trauma can be biologically inherited and passed on in several different ways. Passing Trauma from Generation to Generation Although why and how intergenerational trauma happens aren’t fully understood, both nature (your genetics) and nurture (your environment) seem to play a part. Being raised in a stressful environment can lead to being in a constant state of fight or flight, which raises the baseline level of stress hormones in your body. This higher presence of stress hormones can cause permanent changes in your genetic makeup and have a lasting impact on your physical and mental development as well as your children’s. Children with higher levels of stress hormones are more vulnerable to becoming dependent on substances and are more susceptible to learning impairments such as ADHD or explosive behavior such as oppositional defiant disorder.

While children are programmed by nature to learn from their caregivers, the nurture they receive from those caregivers plays an equally important role as they begin to understand how to navigate their environment and manage stress. Starting as newborns, infants use subtle clues such as facial expressions and tone of voice to know when their environment is safe. But as children grow older, additional non-verbal stressors also play a part in their development, such as how their role models handle stress. If a parent doesn’t have the ability to deal with stress in a healthy way and instead copes through avoidance, fear, substance abuse, or other negative behaviors, a child can learn to adopt those same behaviors as their own way of dealing with difficult emotions. Also, if a parent’s ability to build a healthy relationship with a child is impaired by their own trauma, it can result in trauma and dysfunction in the child. Left unrecognized these patterns can continue through multiple generations. Coping Strategies Keep in mind that parents can also model positive coping skills and strategies for their children, especially as it relates to dealing with stressful emotions. The National Council for Behavioral Health suggests these helpful coping strategies: • Acknowledge that you have been through traumatic events • Connect with others, especially those who may have shared the stressful event or experienced other trauma • Exercise (try jogging, aerobics, bicycling, or walking) • Relax (try yoga, stretching, massage, mediation, or deep muscle relaxation) • Practice a hobby such as music or art • Maintain a balanced diet and get enough sleep • Avoid over-using stimulants like caffeine, sugar, or nicotine • Commit to something personally meaningful and important every day Help Is Available Trauma is a process that can be stopped once it is understood and treated. At Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health, individuals seeking treatment are screened for trauma as part of the admissions process, and specialized programs are offered for men and women. Through individual and group therapy, as well as medication if necessary to help manage symptoms, participants See TRAUMA, Page 6A

2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Peter Perrotta

hen you review cars and trucks week in and week out, most passengers who hop in your test vehicle want to immediately know what you think of the particular vehicle you are driving that week. My wife, on the other hand, isn’t shy about offering her opinion immediately upon stepping into one of my test vehicles before even hearing what I think.

The 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro pickup I recently drove for one week was simply too high off the ground – with no step-in rail or running boards to assist – for her liking. She found it too hard to get into and out of easily. Point understood. However, for me, I didn’t see it as a problem. My boss, on the other hand, stepped into the Tundra and

asked me immediately what I thought of it. Quite frankly, I like the ride and the power of the Tundra pickup – featuring a massive 5.7 liter, V8 engine that puts out an impressive 381 horsepower – however, the interior ergonomics and design are rather “Plain Jane” in dire need of a more modern makeover. When I brought this to the attention of my boss, I found his response to be rather interesting. He looked around at the basic looking dash board design of the Tundra and said, “Well, you know sometimes people like that basic, not too cluttered design.” Another point well taken. If you are into minimalism, then this 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro is for you. The exterior design of the Tundra TRD Pro isn’t outdated looking. In fact, I found it to be rather attractive – outfitted with a slightly lifted, rugged, off-road appearance. But, the inside design and look will not overwhelm you, especially when you compare it to the snazzy, more modern looking pickup competitors in its class like the Dodge Ram 1500, the Ford F-150 or the Chevrolet Silverado. I suspect that folks at Toyota will be introducing a freshened up looking Tundra in the near future. But, for now, it is what it is. Like all pickup models there are numerous different configurations you can get the Tundra in. However, new for 2021 was a new Lunar Rock color for the TRD Pro model; a new Tundra Trail Special Edition and a new Tundra Nightshade Special Edition. I found the new Lunar Rock color to be just ok. It didn’t blow me away or anything like that. Instead of a metallic paint, the Lunar Rock – which actually does resemble the color of moon rocks – has a flat almost matte finish to it. One observer remarked to me that the Lunar Rock almost looked like primer paint. The base price of the 2021 Tundra TRD Pro (double cab) is $48,775. My tester was outfitted with no additional options except for the $1,595 destination and delivery charge that was tacked on bringing the bottom line sticker price to $50,370. The TRD Pro model comes with a lot of standard equipment, including what Toyota calls the Unique TRD Pro Content package which includes: forged aluminum 18-inch TRD wheels; TRD tuned Fox shocks; dual exhaust and front skid plate and black trimmed front bucket seats with red stitching. As far as fuel economy goes, this Tundra is not all that eco-friendly. The EPA estimates that the Tundra gets an unimpressive 14 miles per gallon on average –

17 miles per gallon in highway driving and 13 in city driving. The annual estimated fuel cost to run this Tundra for one year comes in at a pretty hefty $2,900 as it uses about 7.1 gallons of gas for every 100 miles driven. The overall crash test rating on the government’s five star safety test comes in at a 4. The Tundra received 4 stars for the frontal crash test for both driver and passenger. It got 5 stars for the side crash test for both front and rear seat and 4 stars for the rollover test. The editors at Car and Driver gave the Tundra high marks for its “desirable standard features.” They also noted that the crew cab model back seat was “huge” and that it featured legitimate “trail ready” options. Car and Driver gave the Tundra low marks for not being fuel efficient, subpar interior quality and having a clumsy on-road demeanor. I agree with two of the three low marks Car and Driver offered up. I didn’t find the Tundra to be clumsy at all in the handling department. In fact, I think the Tundra’s ride, comfort and handling capabilities stack up quite nicely when you compare it to the Ram, F-150 or Silverado. There is a lot to consider when shopping for a pickup and while the Tundra is not a sales leader, by any means, in its category there are some very strong points to this vehicle which should make it a serious contender for anyone looking to buy or lease a vehicle in this class.

LIFESTYLE Laura Fuchs

ince masks became part of my daily COVID makeup, I have joked how they made me look much better than any pre-COVID make up. Masks cover up multiple signs of aging and imperfect features and are much cheaper than the countless creams and cosmetics I have purchased during my life. They also hide â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I had assumed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; any moods, such as irritability, fear, anger, stress and even an unimaginable burst of happiness. Princeton native and professional photojournalist Laura Fuchs also loves masks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not for what they hide, but rather for what they reveal about a person. Since COVID began, Laura, refusing to get bogged down in the negativity of the pandemic, threw herself into a joyful photo arts project self-dubbed Mask Smile â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taking pictures of New Yorkers smiling behind their masks. And in the process, her lens work captivated the camera lens of BBC and CBS television that recently featured the Mask Smile project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first started seeing New Yorkers wearing masks, I noticed most people were looking down, not making eye contact, and not smiling. I missed the social interaction and found myself trying to smile at people through my mask,â&#x20AC;? said Laura, who now is working in Manhattan as a staff photographer for CUNY TV (City University of New York Television). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once my masked smile was returned with a passing strangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smize (smile with your eyes!), I discovered that people could see my smile through the mask and moreover that I could see theirs. The Mask Smile project was born,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something so sweet about walking down the street and exchanging a smile with someone through masks. The brief connection affirms a deep strength and resilience in people. â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Certainly, there were times when people were too overwhelmed, preoccupied, and numb to smile. But when Laura was successful, it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;incredibly upliftingâ&#x20AC;? to both the photographer and the subject of her photo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole project has helped me to maintain a positive attitude and to continue to be grateful for every day,â&#x20AC;? she said. I got to know Laura decades ago, before she started taking pictures, at a time when her parents were the ones taking pictures of her and her siblings. Her father Ira Fuchs and I shared an office suite at Princeton University.

When Laura came to visit her dad at work, she would run into my office, because my office always was stocked with ample snacks, and a huge stuffed tiger sat on the couch. Her dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multiple computers and beeping pieces of equipment (he was vice president for Computing and Information Technology at Princeton University) â&#x20AC;&#x153;were not very interesting to me,â&#x20AC;? she admitted. As she got older, Laura, a Princeton High School alumna, Class of 2005, often would return to the Princeton University campus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not for my snacks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but to take pictures. For four years, she documented the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trash Art competition, one of the highlights of Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s town/gown festival known as Communiversity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember exactly when I was bitten by the photography bug, but remember always being fascinated with photo-taking even as a little kid. â&#x20AC;Ś My parents would give me disposable cameras to take on family vacations and class trips.â&#x20AC;? She said that by nature she is nostalgic and â&#x20AC;&#x153;always seemed driven by a compulsive desire to documentâ&#x20AC;? her memories and the people she encountered. At Barnard College, Laura graduated in 2009 as a psychology major, which technically is not related to photography, but is related in that it reflects a fascination with people and a desire to understand them at a particular moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My camera comes with me wherever I go. â&#x20AC;Ś I thrive off the human connection and it thrills me to be able to make someone comfortable enough to let me capture their essence.â&#x20AC;? Aware that she is exceptionally lucky to have been able to convert her passion into a career, she is also aware how this passion has been a survival tool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; actually a professional growth tool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; during this pandemic. She now is looking at expanding her pandemic street art to capturing images of the street musicians, whose presence on New York streets has grown considerably as performance venues have disappeared. Her joy is infectious â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one infection that I would recommend to everyone during a pandemic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carrying my camera on me wherever I go encourages me to keep my eyes peeled for joyful moments. If you walk around with this mentality, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find that there is beauty everywhere,â&#x20AC;? she said.

THE STATE WE’RE IN By Michele S. Byers

Stop fraudulent land conservation schemes

Introducing Get Covered New Jersey. The state’s official health insurance marketplace.

ince the 1970s donations of land and interests in land, known as conservation easements, have benefited from a federal conservation tax deduction. The tax deduction incentive has proven enormously successful and popular across the nation. In fact, the conservation easement tax deduction is one of America’s most valuable tools for encouraging landowners to preserve property with high conservation value. In New Jersey, thousands of acres of natural land – forests, meadows, marshes and buffers surrounding rivers and streams – have been permanently preserved through legitimate conservation easement donations. A conservation easement is a legally binding agreement to permanently protect natural resources like farmland, forests, wetlands, and recreational lands. Conservation easement donations are popular because a landowner is able to retain ownership of the land while donating the permanent rights to develop the property to a qualified government agency or nonprofit organization. The conservation agency then retires the development rights and ensures that the conservation easement restrictions are upheld. Because permanent restrictions often reduce the value of the land, the federal government’s conservation tax program allows the difference in value to be a qualified tax deduction. Most folks who donate conservation easements are motivated by a desire to make sure their land is never developed. The financial incentive of a tax deduction is a bonus. Unfortunately, this tax deduction is being exploited in some instances by those motivated by profits instead of the public good. The Land Trust Alliance, a national organization supporting land conservation nonprofits, has warned for years of an abusive scheme that takes advantage of federal tax benefits from conservation easement donations. The alliance has been advocating for a new federal law to crack down on the abuse. In October, the U.S. Senate Finance Committee released a revealing bipartisan report about the scope and seriousness of this abuse, based on a 16-month investigation. Here’s how the abusive tax scheme works. Investors buy shares in corporations that hold title to land. After a short holding period, the corporations donate conservation easements to nonprofit land conservation organizations. Tax deductions are then claimed based upon inflated appraisal values, often many times higher than the original purchase price of the land. As a result of the inflated appraisals, the investors reap tax benefits worth much more than their initial investment, all at the expense of the taxpayer. According to IRS data obtained by the Land Trust Alliance, 296 of these corporations claimed $9.2 billion in unwarranted deductions in 2018 alone. This abuse of the conservation tax deduction threatens to erode public faith and trust in the many lawful conservation donations.

To combat the abusive tax schemes, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Sen. Steve Daines (R-Montana) and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) reintroduced the Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act, which seeks to close loopholes, save taxpayers billions of dollars and promote legitimate conservation around the country. When the bill was first introduced in the House in 2019, New Jersey Congressmen Bill Pascrell and Tom Malinowski joined as cosponsors; ideally, they and the entire New Jersey Congressional delegation will cosponsor the recently updated legislation. “The Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act will safeguard taxpayers by stopping bad actors from profiteering off the federal conservation tax incentive while allowing conservation donations motivated by charity to continue unimpeded,” said Land Trust Alliance President Andrew Bowman. “This legislation is concise, sensible, and ready for passage.” The Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act would generally disallow a charitable deduction if it exceeds 2.5 times a partner’s original investment, and it includes other measures to tighten requirements. The bill preserves the tax deduction for donors with true charity and conservation in mind, including for family farms and ranches. The vast majority of land trusts preserve land and natural resources for the right reasons: providing habitat for wildlife, safeguarding clean drinking water, protecting against flooding, and providing healthy recreation opportunities to the public. The conservation easement tax incentive has helped tens of thousands of Americans with charitable intent preserve their land. Your help is needed to pass the Act before the end of 2020 to ensure that tax incentives for land conservation remain available for genuine philanthropists – of which there are many – and that scammers are shut down. Please ask your Congressional representative and U.S. Senators to support swift passage of the Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act.
