Ocean City Has Soviet 'Sister'

OCEAN CITY - Attention Ma Bell : Here's a variety of reaching out with a considerably longer reach than may have been contemplated in those television commercials. A group of residents of this city are planning to participate in a sister-city project with a city in the Soviet Union. Tentatively, Ocean City has been paired with Kavkaz, a city of 15,000 in the Crimea, on a peninsula between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. A MEETING to learn more about the project, set goals, and get the undertak-

ing off the ground, is scheduled for 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, at the Youth Center, Sixth and Atlantic Avenue. The idea, which is nonpolitical, is to establish contact with a Soviet city of roughly the same size and economic base. The area in which Kavkaz is located is a tourist spot. THE FIRST effort of the Ocean City group will go to assembling a "community portrait" to send to Kavkaz. This will include descriptions and photos of the city , basic demographic information such as population, types of employment, and

physical characteristics; i copies of the local I newspapers; letters of < greeting from individual citizens; artwork by children and adults, and I anything else Ocean City ! residents want to include. I The purpose of the pairing ' project is to promote peaceful ways of com- I muni cation with the Soviet i Union on a people-to-people | basis. It in no way endorses * the Soviet system of govern- j

ment, but is intended to the people of the two countries closer. Local interest in the project was sparked by a national pairing project started a year ago by a professor at Portland State Oregon. Over 1,000 American cities are taking part. Half of these cities have sent community portraits to their sistercities, and some have already received replies.

To Sift Issues

COURT HOUSE - The Cape May County Library has embarked on a series of programs that investigates major issues facing society and elected legislators. The library has joined the Domestic Policy Association, a non-profit, bipartisan organization whose goals are to bring major policy issues facing the nation to town meetings or forums for discussion. The DP A concludes that exposure to major problems — the issues, the alternatives, their costs and trade-offs — will help citizens form judgments based on fact instead of hazy , unthoughtout public opinion. An open forum discussion centering on Jobs and the Jobless in a Changing Workplace will be held 7:30 p.m. at the County Library. Free issue booklets which outline the problem and the proposed solutions are available at the library prior to the program. Reading the 35-page booklet before the program will enable individuals to

participate fully in the discussion. Tlie goal of the program is to increase public awareness and public discussion about major domestic polis^ issues. \ A Method For Selling Businesses OCEAN CITY — A new service offered in the Atlantic/Atlantic County area now matches persons who wish to sell their business with persons who desire to buy local companies.

6 of 14 Sewerage Foes Vie

(From Page l) open meetings, with Karaso suggesting they be changed from afternoon to evening. IF ONE STRAINED to find differences, it is possible that Napoleon and builder Gregory Willis seemed somewhat more interested in growth than the others, who repeatedly stressed "health and welfare." A "new system will bring development," said Willis, in answer to a question. "It will bring ratables, whether you want it or not. Growth will happen. Township committee will have to control it." All seemed to agree that, when additional hookups become possible, the Jamesway Shopping Center should be the first accommodated. In answer to a question. Napoleon said he was not involved in "any venture" that would be requiring sewage service and that he had "no allegiance to persons who would taint any decision I would make." And he said he was "erroneously portrayed by a local newspaper as part of 'a ticket.' Nothing could be further from the truth." WILLIS ALSO SAID he was "not a member of any of these groups " When a questioner later raised the issue of whether there was a "slate," moderator Frank Ross said, "Everyone has said there is no slate." The Herald-Lantern has reported that Napoleon, Willis, Joanne Tinney, Michael Mills and Dr. Lawrence Macatee were reruited to run for the positions during and after a meeting at the office of attorney Frederick C. Schmidt Jr., and that Realtor Thomas J. Repici was at that meeting and "nominated" Willis. Tinney, Mills and Macatee later denied being members of a slate. At Monday night's public meeting, Willis charged that the controversial Court House Convalescent Center, which bought its land from a partnership that included Schmidt and Repici, "will eventually pollute Romney marsh. ^ The Herald-Lantern last week also published highlights of a statement signed by four candidates: Karaso, Tinney. Jeanne DeVico and Madeleine McNichol. THE GOOD-NATURED audience of about 60 applauded everyone, including a man who said he was sorry if his question was common knowledge, but "I'm one of the few people who don't read the Herald, I'm sorry to say/' The candidates, heard in alphabetical order, gave brief biographies and introductory statements before fielding questions from the audience. DeVico said she had a BS from West Chester (Pa ) State College, was a certified teacher who substituted at Middle Township, has been married 1 Vt years and has a 6-month -old son. She said the new commission would have "considerable impact on the development of the community" and she supported "development as long as there is very little negative impact on the environment." She would base new hookups, she said, on "proximity. existing need, and proper application. "1 want to stay in Court House and twant •it to be a nice place to live," she said. She promised to bring "integrity and common sense" to the job.

PHILIP HECK, who the Herald-Lantern linked to the Karaso group, but who did not sign its statement last week, said he, his wife and three children came to Court House nine years ago. He said he has been a biology teacher at Middle Township High School for 12 years anjl is a self-employed painter in the summer. He said he has a BS in biology and an MA in environmental education. He pledged "fiscal responsibility and, more important, a genuine concern for the environment." He said he would bring "a sense of fairness' ' to the job and ensure that "big users pay their fair share." KARASO SAID he has a wife and two children and has lived in Court House for 14 years. He is manager of Charles Harvey Furnishings in Wildwood, he said. He identified himself as a member of the Cape May Court House Neighborhood Association which is appealing a state permit for the nursing home under construction on Magnolia Drive. He said he had spent the last six months studying the MUA and Middle sewage issues. "We've been mistreated in the past," he said. "I'm not opposed to progress: I'm opposed to blind progress. " He said he would ^ "fairly and diligently work for the common good of the public." And he quoted Walt Whitman. NAPOLEON SAID he has lived in the county for 17 years, in Court House for 12, has a BS in biology and a doctorate in medicine. He identified himself as the county medical examiner and medical director at the county prison. He also said he lives across the street from Karaso. "1 enjoy Court House," he said. "I want to keep it clean." As a physician, he said, he has "the expertise which will obviate the terrible health implications of the past several weeks," °n apparent reference to contaminated private wells in the community. He said he would work "in cooperation with township committee and the planning board to expand the system to other home owners and businesses which sorely need it." TINNEY SAID she has a husband who is a dentist in Lower Township, and two children. She said she is a Realtor with Avalon Real Estate, but "haven't sold since December 1982." She said she opposes the "political or old boy system" of the past and researched the issues including having a meeting with MUA Executive Director George Marinakis. Willis said he was a 24-year Court House resident, has a wife and two daughters, has been a self-employed local building contractor for the last 17 years, primarily in Avalon and Stone Harbor, and has experience "dealing with state and local agencies, architects, contractors, suppliers." He said he understands blueprints, .specs and construction contracts. Moderator Ross said Dr. Macatee notified the chamber that he was ill and could not be present. Not present, and not giving any reason, were candidates McNichol, Mills, Louis Irmler, James Killian, Lawrence Parks, Edwin Stites Sr. and W'estcott.
