$236,000 for the vocational school. The 1983 budget could incred’se during ihe year — because the county used the "worst case scenario" in estimating state and federal aid, according to Freeholder William E. Sturm Jr. That item is down $1.32 million, going from $3.9 million in 1982 to $2.6 million for 1983 "As thq year progresses, I think some cuts will be reinstituted," said Sturm. THE COUNTY’S six-year capital program anticipates projects totaling $17.5 million They include $4 million to improve facilities at Hie Crest Haven nursing home, a figure now thought to be at least $3 million too low; $4 million to develop the industrial park, $3.3 million to construct the Great Channel Bridge, $2 million to replace the Middle Thorofare Bridge, $1.6 million to purchase vehicles and equipment, and $1.2 million to renovate county buildings.

and the bar association has been discussing court facilities since last year, Dare said.* Sturm said the county has amended its master plan to set aside space at the Crest Haven complex for "proposed court expansion "But that's down the road somewhere," he said, "and not carved in rock " Dare's letter said the association was "extremely concerned in light of the recent inability to use the main court building which caused a tremendous disturbance to the orderly disposition of justice."

Not on This Beach SEVEN MILE BEACH - A report in this space last week that Avalon and Stone Harbor will honor each other’s beach tags this summer was overlyoptimistic. They won't.

Tougher by a Mile AVALON — Local police have written borough real estate agencies to warn that they will prosecute summer renters for "common nuisances" such as noise and rowdiness, illegal trash disposal, dogs running-at-large, littering, speeding, and openly displaying alcoholic beveragts)\ Nothing’s Secure TRENTON — State senators last week approved a bill that will exempt landlords who rent an apartment for less News Notes from

easier the task of getting Easter presents out on time. Living at a distance from our granddears makes selection more difficult but Children First helps beautifully and keeps us in their memories on special occasions. Weather Saturday, Feb. 19, compensated for business not transacted here during .the blizzard of '83. We had planned to go with another couple to the '76 House to see South Pacific and found every seat in the house was sold out. We chose the secondbest way to beat February blahs and went to HCnny's for dinner instead. There was a 15-minute wait for dinner there too. We asked one of our favorite waitresses, Ginny Sweltzer, of CMCH, "Why such a crowd of unfamiliar faces?" She replied "It’s been like this all day; they're looking for summer rentals " Bodes well for a big season this year, doesn't it? SOMEBODY UP There loves Sara Brady of 82nd St. too. She and daughter Pat Horan decided to fly to Florida to visit Sara’s brother, Pete Fogarty, who has recently retired in Largo (near C’earwater). They planned to fly down but at the last moment Pat decided to drive. They left Thursday, Feb 10 at 8:30 a m. They didn’t turn the radio on and kept a good pace until they were surprized to hit snowflakes in Virigina. Sara suggested they stop for the night but Pat wanted to keep going It wasn't until they stopped for lunch jasi past the North Carolina border that they realized they were just ahead of the bltizard of '83 Their planned flight had been cancelled. When they reached Largo safely they called Sara’s daughter Peg Jones of 52nd St. and told her they were safe The weather at I^argo was nasty and cold - they stayed for four days without complaint and managed to see Busch

Gardens despite the rain. From there they went to Epcot to see Disney’s Future World. Here they spent three days. There was a 45-minute wait to view each exhibit in spite of cold and rain and finally they got smart, stayed indoors during the day and went back at night. They firthlly threw in the towel and came home early — they'll be eternally grateful they beat the blizzard by an hour and still saw so much when the rest of Lhe east coast was snow bound Missy Otto reported in the Avalon Courier that our own ground hog promised us an early spring. Said Missy, "The poor guy goofed. Back to thu repair shop if spring isn't here next week " And darned it it wasn’t! She also described eloquently the sixthgraders' astronomical ooservations taken from different elevations at 32nd St. The kids were all excited about locating Betelguese, a star of the first magnitude in the constellation, Orion’s Belt as well as the Big Dipper and Draco the Dragon, of which we’d never heard. Got a great newsy letter from Jane Boss of 84th St. It was a column in itself They had a fine trip playing "cat and mouse with Marie and George Spence all the way down.” They passed them last in Georgia. They stopped for dinner with Betty and Bob Blair at their home on a golf course in Southern Pines. They were thrilled with the condo they are sharing with Marguerite and Bill Klotzbucher of 95th St. They’re only blocks away from A1 and Jean Westhoff on the same street. In fact, A1 celebated his 73rd birthday party at their condo on Feb. llth. They went to a Flea Market and ran into Phil and Marion Charles of CMCH and are planning a trip to visit Key Largo to see Marcelle and Ray deLaurentis. George and Marie Spence and Jessie and Harry Strohmetz. They are also planning a trip to Epcot with Cass and Sam Schettinger of CMCH. Jane writes in glowing terms of their private beach, heated swimming pool, tennis courts and planned activities.
