His Head at School, His Heart at, Shore

By Ed H*nwU STONE HARBOR - The mountain* vs the shore Is the classic confrontation which has split more families than whether to let Johnny brush with that striped stuff

But what if your busin«s is more or less in the mountains and your heart is at the shore? The answer, for Larry L. Luihg, is to spend as much time as possible at a summer home here and to cram an office at Garrett

He joined the schools 15 years ago, and this year is presiding over festivities in observance of their 50th anniversary. v Today’s facilities are a far cry from the small faculty in East Orange where Alyea M. Brick began his dream school during the Depression. SINCE JOINING the Berkeley Schools in 1986, Luing has seen growth from three campuses to five with merger with the Clnremont Schools; establishment of two suburban campuses complete with dormitories and recreation facilities; addition of fashion, cooperative education, and word processing programs; installation of latest equipment and laboratories, and authority to grant associate degrees in New York and New Jersey. “Good eduation is good business,” Luing says “It is good business to have the highest possible quality of instruction and the latest equipment "YOU CAN’T BE all things to all people,” he points out. “We have pur-

sued a narrow range of specializations and are doing it well.” * The schools do offer a wide range of options. There is a campus In the Chrysler Building in midtown Manhattan and next fall an annex wtU be opened in a seven-story building nearby that has been acquired for future develop-

ment.

FOR STUDENTS who don’t want to attend a fouryear college, but want the trappings of collegiate study, the Wqjtchester .School in WhitP Plains, N.Y., and the Garret Mountain school provide suburban settings. Schools are also located in Ridgewood, N.J., and Hicksville, N Y. Luing is a former president of the Association of Independent Colleges and Schools, and has also served as chairman of the board of directors. For six years, he was a member of the association’s ac-^ creating commission.

BRUCE BROOKS of Rural Renaissance Inc. Instructs his class In the technique of producing alcohol fuel from agricultural waste. Fuel From Your Own Backyard?

By Bob Shiles PALERMO — In the near future residents of ^Cape May County may i find themselves driving down the highway in cars running on Alcohol fuel produced in their own backyards. This isn’t something out of Buck Rogers in the 21st Century The technology is here now, and as more people become versed in the techniques of producing alcohol fuel - and begin to realize the benefits derived from such a product when used as a major source of energy — alcohol operated vehicles may become the norm rather than the exception. A FREE eight-week-alcohol fuel production course is currently being offered by Cumberland’ County College. Supported thru the U.S. Dept, of Energy’s Appropriate Technology Small Grants Program, the course is being offered Wednesday nights at the Marine Sciences Consortium here. The course, which began last week, convenes each Wednesday evening at 7:30. Purpose of the program, according to E. David Blum, president of Rural Renaissance Research Inc., is to promote the general understanding of alcohol fuel. It serves as a practical guide to ahyone interested in learning how to make their own alcohol. About 20 are currently enrolled in the program loyally, and other interested individuals are encouraged to attend. “THE INTERESTING thing about this program,” Mr. Blum said, "is that it is dovetailing energy with processing." He explained that the program is being conducted in conjunction wiUi the Atlantic County

Energy Office’s plans to construct a large alcohol converting still in the county. park at Estell Manor. The demonstration still is expected to be in operation by June or July. According to Susan J Salsburg of the Atlantic County Energy Office, the demonstration project at • Estell Manor is being funded by a $50,000 grant from the U.S. Dept, of Energy’s Office of Alcohol Fuels. She noted that out of 1,500 applications submitted for the federal funding, only 11 programs nation-wide were accepted. The alcohol produced by the still will be used to operate a number of Atlantic County vehicles, including trucks. THE WHOLE purpose behind the idea of alcohol fuel production, according . to Ms. Salsburg, is to convert what is now agricultural process wa$te into an energy efficient product — alcohol. “Any food processing waste (such as waste from a white potato or sweet potato) can be used for alcohol production," she said. "'ITtere’s a lot of waste between the farm and table that at the present time is Just going to the landfills.” ALTHOUGH CORN is currently used in the MidWest to produce alcohol, Ms. Salsburg explained this isn’t feasible in this area. She noted that when a food crop such as corn is used for the production of alcohol, a vital Unk is removed from the total food chain. "'nie shole idea of making alcohol from agricultural waste should be a boom to our entire agricultural area,” Ms. Salsburg opined. "We certainly have the farmland."
