1915.3-8, the undersigned CUstody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the O1ild who is the
subject of this litigation is as follows:

2. A COnciliatien Conference was held en May 8, 1997, with the
following individuals in attendance: The Father, Frank E. Hoover, with his
counsel, Rebec:ca R. Hughes, Esquire, and the Mother, Monica D. Hoover, with
her counsel, Bradley L. Griffie, Esquire.
3. The parties recently separated in March 1997. The Mother
IlDV8d to Jooiats County and the Father remained in the maritsl residence in
Carlisle. The O1ild is currently enrolled in the CI.Iltlerland Valley SChool
District. Prior to the Conference, the parties informally worked out a
shared custody arrang~t (not necessarily SO/SO) whereby each party had
periods of custody with the O1ild during the school week and on the
weekends. Although the parties were able to agree at the Conference en
custody arrang.-nts during the slllllll8r school break, the parties were not
able to agree en a custody schedule for the next school year, and therefore
a Hearing will be necessary.
4. The Father's poaitien en CUstody is as follows: The Father
believea that it is not in the O1ild's best intereet to be transported back
and forth between the Mother's residence in JWliata County and the
ClJlt)erland Valley School District during the O1ild's school week. The
Father believea he is in a better poaitien to be pcimary custodian of the
O1ild during the school year as he resides within the school district. The
Father was willing to share custody on an alternating weekly basis (ea the
parties have agreed to 00 during the slllllll8r) in an effort to reclx:e the
n\lltler of custody exchanges particularly during the school week. The
Father was not agA8able to the Mother's proposal to shift his periods of
custody with the O1ild to illlllediately before, during and after a weekend.
5. The Mother's poaitien on CUstody is as followa: The Mother
believea it would be in the O1ild's best interest to reeide with the Mother
during the school weeks. The Mother indicated that she is the pannt who
pcimarily helpa the OlUd with school work. The Mother ~~!8d thet the
Father have periods of partial custody on weekends and after school on
