MIDDLE TWP. - The Township Com mittee decided last week against requiring the local school district to cut its defeated $6 million budget, and Mayor Samuel Devico called for regionalization of the high school The mayor indicated that establishing a regional system with Dennis Twp.. Av&lon and Stone Harbor — municipalities already sending students

to the high school on a tuition basis — would add hundreds of millions of dollars in ratables to the tax base supporting the school system.

Budget Spared DENNIS TWP - Although voters here April 6 rejected the local school district’s proposed $2.1 million budget — up less than five per cent from the current figure — Township Committee members decided after meeting with the school board Iasi week that to require any cuts would be a disservice to local stude

City solicitor yohn Croon indicated last week lhat Wildwood Crest. North Wildwood and Lower Twp. are more willing than ever to sign contracts allowing the utility to take action against their residents who are delinquent in payments In Wildwood itself, the process of penalizing delinquent customers is the same as that used against those not paying property taxes — first interest penalties are applied and than a lien is put against the property.

Plea in Meth Bust COURT HOUSE — In connection with what has been described by Assistant Prosecutor Russel Lichtenstein as the county’s largest methamphetamine bust in three years, three Millville residents apprehended in Ocean City last summer with about 70 grams of methamphetamine and 3 lbs. of marijuana, pleaded guilty in Superior Court here April 22

on drug related charges.

According to Lichtenstein — who estimated the methamphetamine had a street value of at least $6,000 — two of the defendants were apprehended after the motorcycle on which they were fleeing from flipped over at the Somers Point traffic circle. The third defendant was found in an Ocean City motel room where

the three were staying.

John Wayne Baker, 25, Christine Leek, 22, and Kenneth Haines, 25, all pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute Officials Like the Idea

332 pupils.

SOME PARENTS ARE in effect paying triple, Sr. Catherine pointed out, since they must also meet their obligations to the parish, which subsidizes school opera-

tions.

“We hope greatly that the tax credits will be approved,” said Sister Marie Rudcgeair, principal of Wildwood Catholic High School, North Wildwood, which has 467 students. "All those who support the plan should write their Congressmen to work and vote for it.” Her plda was repeated by the other private school educators. Tuition in the county’s non-public schools ranges from $300 base for grammar school through $1,085 for full 12-year school. Most admit additional children from the same family for a reduced rate. Parochial school charges vary for parish members and non-members. CAPE MAY COUNTY parents would

Mayor Won’t Run UPPER TWP. - Mayor Frank Kruk, a Township Committeeman here for nine years, announced last week he isn’t going to seek re-election this year to the local

governing body.

According to reports, district com mi tteewoman Ruth Millward, alternate leader of the local GOP organization will now face fellow Republican John McDonough — who was recently endors-

ed by the Township Republican Club — in

the June primary.

benefit substantially from the Reagan proposal, which would allow them to claim a tax credit of up to half their tuition costs, not exceeding $100 per child in 1983, $300 in

1984 and $500 and thereafter.

Families with incomes up to $50,000 would be entitled to the full credit. Those between $50,000 and 75,000 could get par-

tial benefits.

Reagan’s prdgram is estimated to cost $100 million the^first year and rise to $1.5 billion by fiscal 1987, a total of $4.6 billion over five years. THE PLAN FACES many obstacles, including likely challenges based on the Constitutional sepaptjion of church and state and congressional wrestling with the ballooning federal deficit. / Nonetheless, Reagan, in annourcing the plan, said, "Politicians in the past promised tax credits and broke those promises. But this administration' is different. We really intend to keep those promises.” Many in Cape May County are praying and hoping that the president will be able

to deliver.

Pines Plan Bothers Farmers

(From Page!) small as 8-tenths of one acre. ACCORDING TO MacLeod, farmers and the County Board of Agriculture are still angry over the existing Pinelands plan. "Farmers are not going to be happy with 2 parts per million nitrate requirements," he said last Tuesday. Although not elaborated at the meeting, the reason farmers are so upset with the Pinelands Commission recommendations for nitrate standards is because they are so restrictive, farmers would literally "be put out of business," according to county Planning Board director Elwood Jarmer. Farmers using large amounts of fertilizers — many containing high nitrate concentrations — would quickly find their groundwater supplies exceeding the recommended 2 parts per million, Jarmer told the newspaper. MR. JARMER informed the board at the April 20 session that the county has until August 2 to act. He indicated intentions to meet with the three communities affected by the pinelands regulations — Woodbine, Dennis and Upper Townships — to discuss complying with the Commission’s series of requests

According to Mr. Jarmer, the county’s three alternatives include complying completely with the pinelands regulations (least likely); do nothing (remains in noncompliance); or submit an alternative to* the Pinelands Commission for approval. "I’ll probably recommend the third alternative after my meeting with the communities," he said. TO DATE, THE county has refused to make any changes in its original master plan so as to conform with standards set by the Commission. When their plan was Submitted earlier this year, county officials included with it a strong statement charging the inappropriateness of Pinelands regulations in Cape May County. Mr. MacLeod last week also called for holding some kind of public information session, should any serious considerations actually be given to altering the county’s existing master plan to meet Pinelands criteria. "The plan (Pinelands) is still not acceptable to a lot of people in its existing form," he said. "I think we need forum to hear from the public. Afterall, they’re the ones that arc going to be affected."

School Eyeing End of Baccalaureate

(From Page 1) then picked up again. It seems to parallel the interest in religion that goes up and down.” A similar pattern was described by Ocean City superintendent Michael Subotich. "Our baccalaureate is completely set up by the local Ecumenical Council and includes the total involvement of the clergy." he said, noting that the ceremony "appears to draw a fine reaction from all the people involved." AND AT MIDDLE Township High School, superintendent Theodore Johnson also expressed satisfaction with student interest and participation in the district's traditional ceremony. Middle’s service is held yearly at the Avalon Community Center and, according to Dr. Johnson, it’s attended "pretty well.” Mr. Keller told the Regional school board last month that he isn't against religion but is unhappy with what the ceremony has become. "A kind of talent show and religious service shouldn’t be held at the same time," he said, pointing out that last year's sermon was im-

mediately followed by acrobatic dancing. According to the administrator, he approached the Cape May Ministerium about the possibility of the service being conducted at different churches, perhaps 6n a yearly rotating basis, but the clergy appeared to show little interest. BUT THE REV. Cass Shaw, pastor of the Cape May Presbyterian Church, said Monday she disagrees with the superintendent’s interpretation of the local ministerium's attitude toward the issue. She indicated she is planning to meet with the senior class to find out if they want a baccalaureate service. "If the class wants a baccalaureate they'll have one," the pastor said, noting the issue has been discussed among the clergy and they are willing to do what the class wants. ‘"We’re not going to hold anything over their heads," she added. Several'Regional board members — including president Paul Lundholm — have indicated strong opposition to eliminating the ceremony. "It’s always been tradition/’ Mr. Lundholm said. "I’d hate to see it go by the wayside."
