Has College; Will Travel MAYS LANDING - Saying it's "sensitive" to the fact that about one-quarter of its students come from this county, Atlantic Community College's 12-member board of directors will bring its June meeting to the Flanders Hotel in Ocean City June 24. This is believed to be the board's first off-campus meeting. Normal procedure is to dine and discuss private topics in a closed session at 6:30, and open up to the public at 7:30. ACC, which has an extension center at Rio Grande, would like a branch campus, and perhaps eventually a joint operation, with this county. Two to Cultural Group COURT HOUSE - Freeholders have selected Lance Balderson, Seaville artist and architect, and James Pulvino, chairman of the Art Department at Ocean City High School, to fill two vacancies on the county's Cultural and Heritage Commission. Virginia Wilson of Upper Township, chairman of the county's historical and genealogical society, also was on the list of nominees from commission Administrator Nancy O'Lone and will be named to the next vacancy. Freeholders said.

That would raise the county's net debt to $34 million. What if every man, woman and child in the county — 95,000 people — massed outside the county library office building that day, waving signs and chanting "No! No! No! No!" Would it make any mfference? THAT'S NOT THE WAY former Freeholder William R. Wilsey worded his question May 27. but it's what he meant And the answer is — no. The county is locked into those purchases. Wilsey, of Petersburg, likened the public bearing on those purchases to "locking the barn door after the horses are gone. "You have entered into a agreement of sale," he said, "so -a public hearing is meaningless." IT WAS LIKE PULLING teeth, but even(Page 53 Please)

Lower Group Envisions Delaware Bay Museum

By E. J. DUFFY Did you know. Cedar shingles from Dennis Creek were used on Independence Hall? Sugar cane was once raised along the Tuckahoe River? Horseshoe crabs once fertilized county farms? They are a few of the pieces in the local historical puzzle that Lower Township's Environmental Commission wants to display in a proposed museum. "There are a lot of things that are getting lost," commission chairman Robert Imler said, citing the above examples, "and I don't know if they're well documented enough."

"We're still pushing the idea of a Lower Delaware Bay Museum ... just to see if there's an interest in it," he added. "We're not planning anything; we just want to talk to the people about an idea. "We have no intention of being a moving force," Imler explained, and we don't even know who would do it." "NO. I DON'T HAVE any idea at all, he said of a size for the museum. But, as proposed, it could be located at the closed Harbison-Walker magnesite plant. Sunset Beach, Lower Township. The township has been awarded a $900,000 state Green Acres grant loan toward purchase of a 90-acre tract there. Lower's council members voted 3-2 to accept the grant-loan last month, but township voters will have their say on it through November ballot questions. That debate has held up presentation of the commission's proposal to the county Cultural and Heritage Commission (C&HC). "They were going to appear at our last two meetings," Nancy L. O'Lone, C&HC administrator, said, citing the grant-loan hassle as reason for the delay. (Page 4 Please)

Will Leftover Go to Feds Or Atlantic? By JOE ZELNIK ERMA — Cape May County can't spend all of its federal job training dollars and that could cut the total appropriation for the Atlantic-Cape May Consortium. The two counties were merged in 1983 under one Private Industry Council (PIC) to administer funds provided by the Job Training Partnership Act ( JTPA). Each county has its own staff. This county has about 14 people and a $268,000 payroll. The agency receives about $3 million a year in new money which, based primarily on population, is divided two-thirds to Atlantic County, one-third (actually 34.2 percent) to Cape May County. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENffihsDermitted unspent funds to be carried oveiSor one year The carryover in the fiscal yeaK ending June 30 totals $1.9 million. Of that. ) $792,813 is Atlantic County's. $1,095,050 Cape May County's. S But the federal and state governments look at this as one Service Delivery Area (SDA) and base the total allocation on the total expenditure So, when Cape May County can't spend money. Atlantic can suffer. It is unclear whether the federal government will permit another carryover, or what it will require to justify such "a request. "JOE (HA6GERTY) has two strikes against him before he comes to bat," commented an Atlantic official. Haggerty was appointed a year ago as administrator of this county's Office of (Page 16 Please) Education Requirement Snarls PIC By GREGG LAWSON A new state "recommendation" to provide classroom training is further hindering the county's summer job program for economically disadvantaged youth, already suffering from low enrollment. The federally-funded Summer Youth Employment and Training Program (SYEfP) places youths 14-21 in private, non-profit agencies for eight weeks, 35 hours a week, at the minimum wage of $3.35 an hour Because of plentiful jobs in this tourism county, the program already has the problem of finding enough youths willing to work at minimum wage. And now there is the question of who is to offer how much and what kind of classroom training. EARLIER, the Atlantic/Cape May County Consortium of the Private Industry Council (PIC) agreed that youths in both counties would spend half their time in the classroom. Atlantic County has stayed with the 50 percent formula, and has a contract with Atlantic Community College (ACC) to administer the classroom component. The majority of classroom training is done in ACC's computer-assisted classrooms, ex(Page 53 Please)
