197U THE LOCAL REVIEW Page egal high' rial is postponed rtt rt (pis A v) i .) M''jui Missing youth back PARK RIDGE Police have closed the investigation on Larry Goodman, the 15-year-old Park Ridge High School sophomore missing since Dec. 23, following the boy's return home last week. Ernest Swanson, deputy police chief, said Larry returned to his North Maple Avenue, apartment, where he resides with his mother Mrs. Mazie Goodman, sometime during the evening of Jan. 18.

Swanson said Larry had been in Pittsburgh. Although Mrs. Goodman had told police she had heard from Larry last week, police were keeping open the investigation until they were sure of the boy's whereabouts. Goodman had left his apartment sometime during the afternoon on Dec. 23.

Earlier this month, police had ruled out foul play in the six-foot, sandy-haired youth's disappearance. Police said by talking to friends, they believed the boy was a runaway. A missing persons bulletin was sent out across the East Coast. Larry had resided with his mother in Park Ridge for the past two years, after moving from Hillsdale when his parents separated two-and-a-half years ago. Alan Goodman, Larry's father, resides in Fort Lee with Larry's brother.

The officers were cited for effecting the arrest of two major fugitives of the Drug Enforcement Administration who were members of the DEA and FBI "top 30" fugitive list and subjects of intense investigation for almost eight years. The men were honored at the annual Police Appreciation By JUDY SMAGULA HILLSDALE The trial of a Broadway stationery store owner the first case in Bergen and Passaic counties involving a person arrested for selling "legal highs" has been postponed to April 23.

Alice Carmel, co-owner with her husband, Joseph, of Joseph's Stationery at 106 Broadway, was arrested in October 1978 for selling Rush, a colorless inhalant marketed as liquid incense. The arrest fell under a borough ordinance which prohibits selling a toxic substance. Joseph Carmel, 50, was arrested in February 1978 on pornography charges. Attorney Anne Nelson is representing Mrs. Carmel on behaif of the American Civil liberties Union.

Municipal Court Judge Bernard Dorfman ruled to postpone the trail after Mrs. Nelson and Richard Donahue, the borough prosecutor, spent more than an hour debating discovery rules. "I wanted to dispose of this matter today, but it seems we're playing a game of checkers," said Dorfman. Both attorneys had witnesses ready to testify, but Donahue argued he hadn't had a chance to review the defense's material, Dorfman instructed the attorneys to exchange material before the April 23 hearing. Mrs.

Carmel's arrest was made Oct. 26 after teenagers, cooperating with police, purchased two bottle of the substance. Carmel was also charged at that time with maintaining a nuisance, which police defined as a place where the law is habitually violated. Richard Insley, the attorney representing Carmel also on behalf of the ACLU, said Carmels' arrest was part of an apparent attempt by police to put them out of business. According to Insley, Rush is a non-toxic liquid not included on the federal government's list of controlled substances.

According to Insley, Rush is sold legally in other "paraphernalia shops" in New Jersey. Insley said the arrest was part of continued harassment by borough police stemming from Carmel's pornography charge last February, when police raided the store and siezed more than 300 magazines and films. Carmel was indicted by a grand jury last August on charges of stocking obscene literature and films with intent to sell. Westwood acts to cut rising insurance cost WESTWOOD In order to alleviate rising municipal insurance costs, the Borough Council has introduced an ordinance to implement a self-insurance plan for the borough. Councilman Henry Geier, finance commissioner, said the borough's total insurance rate is up approximately 40 percent from 1978, due to a workman's compensation claim.

The council will allocate $10,000 in the 1979 budget to initiate the insurance program, which will cover comprehensive collision on borough vehicles, among them police and Dept. of Public Works' cars. Geier said the idea for the self -insurance program originated last fall when the present policy was due for renewal. The borough will retain its regular insurance firm, the Burton Agency, in addition to the self-insurance program. "Insurance rates are going up drastically.

It's more beneficial for us to have self-insurance," said Geier. Final approval on the ordinance is scheduled for Feb. 27. Al Regula, borough resident, complained to the council about the hazardous sidewalk conditions in the borough. "It's not safe to walk on the streets of Westwood.

I want action. Not only is mv Less aid to schools causes tax increase Regula said he made several complaints to borough officials, but received no reply. He cited construction on Jefferson Avenue and Broadway as being a particular hazard to pedestrians. Councilman Robert Gardner, buildings and grounds commissioner, said he will contact DPW officials to take care of the situation. In other action, borough resident Michael Rehill congratulated the town Fire Dept.

for quickly and carefully extinguishing a fire in his home on Jan. 11, which destroyed the entire second floor. "They are well-trained and well-skilled. I never before appreciated them," said Rehill. Rehill is the attorney for the Westwood Senior Housing sponsors of the proposed senior citizen housing complex in the borough.

Planners re-elect terest bearing account to self-insure police cars. "As this account grows in size," he said, "we hope to be able to extend our self-insurance and pay fewer premiums. The total municipal budget this year is up $55,000 from last year, for an increase of less than three and one-half percent. Last year's budget showed an increase of $200,000, or eight percent, over the 1977 Board elects officers Bt ANN OLIVARIUS RIVER VALE Mayor Stanley Moore says that although the municipal tax rate will drop about three or four cents in 1979, general taxation will probably increase due to decrease in state aid to schools and county." The municipal budget, now at $1.13 per $100, about 25 of the total budget. Moore attributed the municipal tax reduction to revenues from increased ratables combined with elimination of such extras as fireworks, and a salary reduction of $600 apiece for himself and the five council members.

He added that no other salaries or services were cut, and the recreation budget was increased. Moore said the biggest headache for municipalities today is insurance. "Premiums are absolutely going' out of sight," he continued. Moore said enough money will be invested this year in an in Deadline Wednesday for '79 dog licenses PARK RIDGE -All dog owners in Park Ridge are reminded that they must obtain a 1979 dog license before Wednesday.
