New Dune— < From Page 1) WHAT HE DID LEARN, in a conversation that morning with township engineer Andrew Previti of Ocean City, was that the state was offering to rebuild the dune at a cost of $4 per cubic yard d sand for an overall cost of $1.5 million on a 50-50cost sharing basis. "Under the circumstances, It’s a lot of money and we're, hopefully, waiting for the state to take (South Cape May) over for Green Acres or whatever they’ve got in mind for it,” the mayor said Monday Afternoon. The mayor’s belief is that if the state intends to acquire the land.as part of the South Cape May State Park system, then the state and not the local government should bear the expense of^Tpairing the dune ^ EVEN BEFORE THE STORM, maintenance and >epair of the dune had long been the center of controversy over responsibility Located largely on privately owned land within the township, the breached dune has, in the past, been repaired by the federal government, county government or municipal government on several different occasions. The most recent word from the federal government came about two weeks before the storm when it was announced that the Army Corps of Engineers would not fund an erosion control program along with South Cape May beachfront because insufficient ratables in that area precluded the project's cost effectiveness. At the same time, the Corps gave the nod to a $12 million project to rebuild the Cape May City beaches.

CG Kept Busy on Stormy Weekend

CAPE MAY - South Jersey residents spent much of the stormy Oct. 25 weekend watching flood waters lapping into their living rooms and wondering "What drought?” Coast Guard Group Cape May, meanwhile, was busy at sea and in the air Assisting in the evaculaflbn of residents in the Fortescue area of Cumberland County Saturday were rescue squads from Coast Guard Cape May’s small boat station and Aids to Navigation Team, as well as two helicopters from the Air Station. Coast Guard teams lent a hand to Cumberland County Civil Defense and other local rescue units, evacuating some 40 people to higher ground. IN COLD SPRING inlet, the 20-ft. sailboat Sunday with three passengers aboard ran afoul of the recently-wrecked oyster boat Ms. - Row. Answering the Sunday's distress call was a 44-ft. small boat from Coast Guard Station Cape May. Unable to draw close Wore Funds Given

Foster Program

ACTION, the federal government’s agency for volunteer service, has made a supplemental grant of $114,960 to the Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) operating, in Atlantic and Cape May Counties. Nestor Llamas, ACTION’S Region II director, announced the award recently in New York City. Atlantic Human Resources, Inc., sponsors the FGP program locally.

enough for a successful rescue, the 44-footer stood by the snagged sail^at for four hours in 10- to 18-ft. seas. When the Sunday finally broke loose, her crew was able to put down anchor and embark .in a small rubber liferaft. The 44-footer’s crew thAi took the three men aboard. The Sunday’s crew was rushed to the Coast Guard Training Center’s Medical Facility. There the three Philadelphia residents were treated for exposure given dry clothing and released. THE 35-FT. sailboat Arethusa began taking on water in Delaware Bay Saturday night, stranding five people and a dog. The sailboat ran aground in stormy seas at Elbow Cross Ledge near Dover, Delaware. Weather conditions did not permit immediate rescue, and a drop pump was lowered to the craft from a Coast Guard helicopter. When, at nearly midnight, a small boat from Cape May Station attempted to recover the passengers, its starboard engine failed. Unable to complete the rescue, the Coast Guard boat remained standing by the Arethusa until Sunday morning, when another helicopter dropped food to the crew. . SUCCESSFUL TOWING of the sailboat to Roosevelt Inlet, near Lewes, Delaware, was accomplished by a 44-ft. Coast Guard boat at 7:30 a.m. No one was harmed in the 13-hour ordeal. Another incident Sunday involved the Coast Guard airlift of 18-year-old James Hickey of West Wildwood. Hickey's 19-ft. boat had run aground in the Grassy Sound marshes when the tide went out.
