Herald & Lantern 9 February '83 Trophy, Yes; Tootsies, No-

COURT HOUSE - Cape May County Freeholders will support the Cape May Point Five-Mile Run with their hands, but not their feet. Irene Monge, borough clerk and treasurer for the run, last week asked the freeholders to sponsor the Cape May County Trophy in the June 18 event, given to the local resident who finished first. Freeholders indicated they would be willing to put up the $35-50 cost of the trophy, won last year by John Malinowski of Wildwood. But Freeholder Gerald M. Thornton got no support for his suggestion that new freeholder James Kilpatrick should run the five miles. “You’re th? newest member of the freeholders,” said Thornton. ”1 think it should be the youngest,” replied Kilpatrick, a reference to County Wins High er State Reimbursement .

That means it will make about $33,000. Crest Haven has HO residents, Thorton said, mostly over 65, lowincome, in need of longterm care, and Medicaideligible.
