Peterson Stresses Record

MIDDLE TOWNSHIP - “I think the record speaks for itself,” Pat Peterson, candidate for re-election to township committee, said as the camapign comes to a close. “With Public Works as one of my responsibilities, I have been able to complete reconstrtiction of many roads throughout the township on a need basis,” Peterson said. “I will continue to upgrade roads in the years to come.” she added.

School Night For Parents

"There’s still work to be done and I’ve proven I can get that work done. “DRAINAGE problems have been corrected. Traffic signals have been installed in dangerous areas,” Peterson said. “Although these things were needed before, no one seemed to care. I got it done.” “Others on township committee like to take credit for many things done," the committeewoman charged, “but they are just jumping on my band wagon and making everything political. “I also initiated and worked toward locating funds for projects *for minorities and low-income families,” Peterson said.

“I instituted the leaf program and the voluntary recycling programs for the township. These are all important programs for all the people.” “ONE OF the fights I want to continue is to eliminate any dumping by other municipalities in Middle Township,” Peterson declared. “I don’t want the MUA transfer station on Shunpike or anywhere in our township. “Finally,” Peterson said, “it is important to all the taxpayers of Middle Township to have someone who will say no to the mayor and his handpicked cohorts. I will continue to do that when it is in the best interest of all the people.”

WATSON SAID officials from each community and the school were very cooperative in developing these programs with the Optimist Gub. “The purpose of Youth Appreciation Week is to recognize outstanding youth in our community,” said Watson. "Usually all you hear about are the negative things. Youth Appreciation Week stresses the positive.’’Watson said that the Optimist Gub also sponsors a Christmas party for grade school Special Education students, a spelling and math bee for first, second and third grades, a science fair for fourth and fifth grades, an Oratorical contest for high school

students and a five-mile run on Nov. 19 as well as other special projects dining the year. The majority of the projects sponsored by the Optimist Gub are financed by monies raised by bingo, which is held every Sunday at 7:30 at the Avalon Com munity Center. The Names Can Cause Confusion MIDDLE TOWNSHIP - What’s in a name? That’s what Middle Township School Board member James Allax is asking. Allax, who has lived in Cape May County for 30 years, said he has been approached by many people and asked if he is running for township committee. The problem is a simple bit of coincidence. Jim and his wife, Geraldine, have the same first names and a similar last name to those of a township committee candidate and his wife. ODDLY ENOUGH. Allax is supporting Pat Peterson, who is being challenged by Jim Alexis. Allax has served almost three full terms on the local school board and therefore has had his name on many ballots throughout the years. “1 can understand people making this mistake,’’ Allax said, “But I do want to set the record straight. Jj’m not running for 'township committee and I am behind Pat PeteiWi all the way.”
