COURT HOUSE - Sheriff Beech Fox today challenged his opponent to debate him on a cable television station. "We haven't heard much from my opponent, James Plousis. during this campaign," said Fox, the incumbent sheriff. , "I am attacked almost daily by members of the machine backing my opponent," he added. "But about all I hear from him is how he plans to start some type of program that sounds good on paper, but that there are no funds or personnel for putting the programs into action. "The real issue in this campaijpi is my record and . my 15 years experience," said Fox. "And that's the issue 1 want to debate with my opponent. "Channel 2 Cable Television, Wildwood, has agreed to air the debate. AH Mr. Plousis has to do is call the station and agree to debate me. "If he won't debate me, if we can't deal with the issues of how the Sheriffs Department will be operated, then I don't think he is a serious candidate. "The voters can hear the debate and then decide who ueurfic dUU U1G1I UO.IUC v» nu

has the experience and < qualifications to run the £ department. > "We want to know if the i Republican county leader (Philip Matalucci) will let t my opponent debate me t and speak for himself, or is 1 the leader of the political t machine backing him go- i ing to do all his talking for i him?" Fox asked. J ] COURT HOUSE - 1 Sheriff Beech N. Fox, in- 1 dependent Republican can- I didate for reelection in the 1 June primary, has reacted •angrily to enuorsement of , his opponent. Ocean City Patrolman James Plousis, by Acting Wildwood Chief of Police Ralph Sheets "This latest political move on Democrat Ralph Sheets' part is nothing more than a continuation of what he was involved in during the 1981 sheriff's campaign." Fox declared. ' It was common knowledge that Matalucci (Philip, county GOP chairman) offered to help Sheets ■ that year in order to get rid of Beech Fox. As a result Sheets not only received the support of his own party but made the election close because Matalucci supplemented this with the help of his most loyal and closest political solders. "In the very same edition

of the paper in which he endorsed my opponent," Fox said, "a former Wildwood police officer charges that Sheets had knowledge of criminal activity and did nothing about it. With all this he better leave the Republican primary to the Republicans." PETERSBURG - George Betts, candidate for the Republican nomination for Upper Township Committee in the primary June 5, in a press release, stressed his intention to see that growth occurs so as to be beneficial to the township. The candidate stated that many houses have been bftilt in the last 20 years on lots that have a high water . table, and he feels that his

experience with developers and builders will help him in heading off such mistakes. "It is the responsibility of the Mayor and the Committeemen to work with the Board to ensure that township interests are protected," Betts said. "It the duty of the Mayor to attend Planning Board meetings. During 1983, former -Mayor Leonard Migliaccio attended only of the 18 meetings held that year." * COUiy HOUSE - "The * county jail farm program is just one example of the programs I've developed to save tax dollars." said Sheriff Beech Fox today. "This program provides • fresh vegetables for inmates. thus saving tax dollars, just as important, gives them a way to use their time in a positive way by working on the farm." said Sheriff Fox Fourteen assorted crops are grown on the jail farm and the produce is used to supply the jail kitchen Any surplus is donated to senior citizen programs such as "Meals on Wheels" and the Crest Haven Nureing Home During the past year approximately 30 inmatetrustees worked on the

I farm contributing over 1600 1 man hours. This is the se- 1 cond full year the farm has been operated and it has doubled in productivity. < Fox is running for re- 1 election. He has been Cape May County Sheriff for 15 years. COURT HOUSE - Coun- ; ty Republican chairman Philip Matalucci has > charged Sheriff Beech N. r Fox with evading the issues , he has brought up in the » campaign. ) Matalucci, in a press ? release, asked of Fox: "Why was almost $20,000 of t in kind donations and other i items hidden from his Cohi gressional campaign r disclosures?

"The Republicans who iriU vote June 5 want to snow what you are going to Jo about the loose administration of the Sheriff's Department," Matalucci declared. r PETERSBURG - Closer monitoring of the MUA and long-range planning to prepare for the increase in population in Cape May County were called for to- I day by Dot Armand Armand, a member of the Upper Township Board of Education, is running for county freeholder on the "Beech Fox Regular Republicans" slate.
