On June 21, the association voted unanimously to send a letter to the board asking that they explore the possibility of having a formal policy on cheating. "There is serious concern of the situation of cheating in schools here," Mrs. Cronin said. McDonald said it is the.

teachers' responsibility to determine if a student is cheating on an examination. "The teacher is the decision-maker, and as long as I have been on the board it has been handled at the teacher level and it has never been overturned by the board," he said. "We are here to see what feedback there is from the board and to show the concerns we showed in the letter," Mrs. Cronin said. Crawley last night refused to identify the two students involved in the take-home examination dispute.

The two students thought they were allowed to work together on the test, Principal George Mako said last week. The students were allowed to retake the examination and graduate with the rest of their class June 20. "This brought a policy on cheating to the forefront," Mrs. Cronin said. "I don't believe cheating is any more widespread in our school than it is in any school in the country," Crawley said.

Press Lakewood Bureau POINT PLEASANT BEACH The Board of Education, responding to a controversy about a take-home examination, says responsibility for determining cheating on tests rests with individual teachers. The Point Pleasant Beach Education Association had asked the board in a letter to adopt a policy defining cheating in schools. But the board said last night said its existing policy is that teachers have the authority to determine if a student cheats on an examination. The letter was prompted by an incident in which two graduating seniors at Point Pleasant Beach High School were allowed to retake a final examination after admitting they worked together on the take-home English final examination. The board agreed to send a letter to the association's president next week to explain that cheating is handled solely by each teacher.

Board President Thomas McDonald after the meeting last night said that "teachers have the sole right of deciding whether a student is guilty of cheating." Superintendent of Schools F. Thomas Crawley said handling of incidents of cheating is spelled out as a responsibility in teachers' contracts. Eight teachers who said they were concerned about cheating in district schools attended the board meeting.

The 1984 measure allowed existing billboards to remain but prohibited new ones from being constructed. It was prompted by the council's concern about the effects of billboards on traffic safety and aesthetics, Block has said. The township attorney is researching the feasibility of a township-wide billboard ban, which was not precluded by the state Supreme Court. "I don't want anyone to get the false impression that the Supreme Court said we could not prohibit billboards.

It merely said Stafford's ordinance did not support the test for a municipal-wide ban," said Township Attorney George Gilmore. "My personal opinion at this point is a municipal-wide ban might be the better way to go," Block said. Bell said last night he intends to seek at least $250,000 in damages from lost revenues.

The committee approved another resolution demanding the federal Environmental Protection Agency begin a cleanup of buried waste at Ciba-Geigy within six months.

The resolution, proposed by Mayor Roden S. Lightbody, comes in response to a study the EPA released last week outlining cleanup of only contaminated ground water. EPA Region II Administrator Christopher J. Daggett, contacted at home last night, said the cleanup of buried waste cannot be rushed because of dangers to the environment. The EPA must be satisfied through its lengthly studies that a cleanup method does not aggravate hazards by potentially releasing or exposing the hazardous substances, he said.

"It's complex and has to be understood before you send people in there," Daggett said. "That's for workers' safety and the safety of the environment. You can do more harm than good to the environment when you don't understand it thoroughly." From page CI it as a needed control and proper exercise of township authority.

Chinery plans to install a hidden $35,000 stereo system in the Batmobile to promote a stereo shop he is opening in Brick Township. Chinery said he decided to buy the Batmobile last year when he was visiting England. "They still air the show out there, and we were watching 'Batman, he said. "When I saw the Batmobile, I said 'What about that? and decided I wanted it." In the following weeks, Chinery had employees working full time trying to find the car, he said.

After it was found, it took months before the sale was negotiated, he said. "I started my car collection with Matchbox cars when I was 5 years old," Chinery said.

The Batmobile is a stretched 19S8 Ford Thunderbird built in 1964 by George Barns, said Daniel Gastelu, executive vice president at Research Brick Township, a sports nutrition company founded by Chinery. Barris, who also designed and built such famous television cars as the family car from "The Munsters" and the talking Pontiac Trans Am from "Knight Rider," built five of the mobiles in 1964, Gastelu said. Chinery's Batmobile is one of two functioning all-metal versions that were used for stunts and driving sequences in the TV program, Gastelu said. The other three Batmobiles were fiberglass models built only for looks, he said.
