She currently is being held in Chittenden County Community Correctional Center on bond and is expected to be extradited to Palm Beach County later this week.

Todman Foundation Honored For Gift A $1 million gift from the William S. and Frances B. Todman Foundation to New York University will create the William S. and Frances B. Todman Film and Television Center at the University's Tisch School of the Arts.

The gift was announced by New York University President John Brademas at a dinner honoring the donor, Fran Todman of Palm Beach. According to Dr. Brademas: "Mrs. Todman's generous gift will enable us to provide facilities commensurate with the extraordinary quality of the programs, fac ulty and students in the Institute of Film and Television at Tisch School of the Arts." The William S. and Frances B.

Todman Film and Television Center at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts will be one of the finest noncommercial film and television production facilities on the East Coast. Located in a former New York University gymnasium at 35 W. Fourth the center will house a sound stage and studio complex; video editing facilities; screening rooms; rehearsal space; costume, prop and scenery creation and storage areas; and production offices.

He is one of the founding members of the Boca Raton Symphony Orchestra and a former member of the executive committee. One of the highlights of the evening will be a presentation of Black, Starr Frost jewels and Rolex watches. In a gallery-like setting, live models in picture-framed, 8-foot-high shadow boxes will create "living portraits" to show the more than $5 million collection. The shadow boxes are equipped with portrait lights and drawstring curtains, enabling the models to unveil each change.

Todman created some of television's best-known and longest run-ing television game shows, including such prime-time productions as What's My I've Got a Secret, To Tell the Truth and The Price is Right. Funding for the new facility was initiated with a $500,000 challenge grant from the Kresge Foundation as part of a campaign to raise $2.2 million for a new film and television center. According to Preston Robert Tisch, chairman of the de Bike Trail From Page evening to relax," said Mrs. Fobes.

The 1967 Palm Beach debutante also reasoned: "This is the premium bike trail (in the area) and the safest place to be." Mrs. Fobes and her family are about to move away from South Florida, relocating to the Washington, D.C. area because her airline pilot husband has been transferred to New York. She wanted her kids to experience the Palm Beach bicycle trail before leaving. So the troop leaders rented a trailer to cart the bikes to Palm the way up to Palm Beach from their northwestern Broward County hometown.

Mrs. Fobes, and co-leaders Phyllis McCully and Linda Bardeman, knew the troop had to earn their bicycle badges by riding their bikes all day, but there wasn't enough room in their suburban community. The parks in Coral Springs are small and riding around those parks in circles would bore the scouts, Mrs. Fobes thought. Then she remembered the Palm Beach bike path she often rode as a teen-ager.

"I used to ride it every any, 3 for the ride. She even did ballet stretching exercises in her own Daisy Gardens apartment to prepare for the long roundup. However, she soon discovered the new tire on her red bicycle had gone flat. So Mrs. Clark resigned herself to slicing pieces of cake left over from a recent party for North-wood Institute, so the scouts could restore some energy to their tired bodies when they returnej from their day on the Palm Beach bike trail.

Beach and notified local police officials they would be using the town's thoroughfares. The girls had Easter week off from school (they attend public schools and the Coral Springs Christian School), and Tuesday turned out to be a convenient day. The girls bounced happily on the sidewalk before their big ride. It isn't everyday a 10-year-old gets to ride her bike for a day in another part of the country (more or less). They sported windbreakers in the day's temperate weather, turned cartwheels and busily fastened their lunches to their bicycles (this was part of their getting the bicycling badge).

The day went like this: riding the seven miles from Chilean Avenue to the Palm Beach inlet, including a detour east on Barton Avenue to see the Bethesda church, up County Road to ride around The Breakers hotel (Mrs. Fobes confided she believed the girls would like to see a hotel that big), and then trekking west on Royal Poinciana Way to join the north bike trail all the way up to the inlet. Along the way the young scouts reveled in the local flora and the homes. Cars would be waiting at the inlet to bring them back. Palm Beach police were notified of the trip to make sure the scouts would easily make it across the intersections.

"We'll end up testing about 100 feet, and I hope everything will hold," McCarthy said. McCarthy did not say when the area would be opened to the public.

McCarthy says a tow wall, which costs about $700 to $800 a foot, is a sheet pile creation that is driven into the ground 7 or 8 feet below the old wall, providing a shield for protection.

In late March, workers at the beachwall treated about 30 feet of the wall and then discovered leaks. "All it takes is a little bit of that sand to get lost for the ground above to collapse," says McCarthy. "What we're doing now is a temporary solution, but it may be all that we need to keep the water out" McCarthy says the alternative to protecting the area is to install a "tow wall" along the seawall, but he said that meth ground is slumping and the sidewalk is cracking. The seawall, which was built in 1926, is in effect letting out sand and allowing "cavities" to form in the ground behind it. He says work crews have been injecting grout about 15 feet into the earth behind the wall.

McCarthy hopes the cement will fill in the holes and create a "grout curtain" to stop the Hammon Avenue. McCarthy says the repairs, which are being done by Bates and Daly of Fort Lauderdale, may cost about $10,000. The problem with the seawall is that small holes and cracks in the base of the wall are letting the sand out behind the wall, McCarthy says. The problem has become evident in the walkway along the wall, where the OPEN 12-3 250 COUNTRY CLUB DR. Owner 844-7431 Gardens- From Page 1" LUXURY GARDEN APT.
