The Post, Thursday, February 10, 1983-C3 Local News Exhibits, Fireworks, Music Scheduled for First SunFest 'This will be a celebration of all the things that make Palm Beach County so special. It will give everyone a chance to come out and see what a historical and colorful area Palm Beach County really William E. Finley, tarium. Other attractions will be a wine garden, a carousel and a floating stage. There will be no admission charge to most of the exhibits: Financing for SunFest is being secured through special fund-raisers and through corporate sponsorships.

The first corporate sponsor, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of the Palm Beaches, has made a three-year commitment. SunFest will have a volunteer board of directors, with planning and implementation by volunteer professionals from many sectors. "A small army of people is helping plan SunFest, but we need many more volunteers," said Hank Skokowski, SunFest's design manager. Anyone wishing to volunteer services should call 833-3711.

The first fund-raiser will be a March 26-27 air show featuring aerial stunts by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and other performers, including Bob Bishop, pilot of the world's smallest jet, and wing walkers Jim Franklin and Johny Kazian. The show will be over the air strip on PGA Boulevard, 1 mile west of Florida's Turnpike, across from PGA National. Tickets will be $5 in advance and $7.50 at the gate. For more information, call 832-4107.

By Edgar Sanchez Staff Wrttr Fireworks, a boat show and hydroplane races will be among the features of the first SunFest, a 10-day outdoor festival beginning May 6 in downtown West Palm Beach, organizers announced yesterday. "This will be a celebration of all the things that make Palm Beach County so special," SunFest Chairman William E. Finley said during a press conference on the Island Queen pad-dleboat. "It will give everyone a chance to come out and see what a historical and colorful area Palm Beach County really is." SunFest will be held on a 1-mile stretch of lakefront along North Flagler Drive between Second Street and the Royal Park Bridge. It replaces the Royal Palm Festival, which was held in West Palm Beach every summer since 1977.

The old event, designed to lure business to downtown West Palm Beach, outlived its mission after much of the downtown converted from retail shopping to offices, Finley said. Community leaders decided to create the new nonprofit festival for the fun of it, said Finley, president of Bankers Land Co. in Palm Beach Gardens. Starting 19 days after the Palm Beach Festival concludes and running through May 15, SunFest will feature food, music, dancing and entertainment, along with a variety of exhibits, activities and special events. There will be roving clowns, mimes and magicians, an antique car show, fireworks displays, hydroplane races, a regatta and water taxi service to a bar on the Intracoastal Waterway.

Exhibits will include an art show, a boat show, a health pavilion, a children's zoo and theater, pavilions featuring international foods and an exhibit about the sun by the Palm Beach County Science Museum and Plane Sip WE'LL FEED YOU THE WAY WE LIKE TO EAT if lib ifr-s a lif 1 hv'-. -i? 1 1 a 1 sl 3 ft Pl Good Old Fashioned Prices UNLIMITED DINNER BUFFET $5.99 Wf With Good Ok) Fashioned Home Style cooking the Palm Beaches.

Lester Salamon delivered that news during a West Palm Beach meeting of the Coalition of Human Resources, an organization of 70 county social service agencies formed to fight federal cutbacks. According to the American Association of Fundrais-ing Counsels, the largest amount of the agencies' budgets that has come from private donations in one year was 12 percent in 1981, Salamon said. To make up for the losses in federal money, Salamon said, would "take an increase in private giving over the prior year of 35 percent in 1983, 40-42 percent in 1984 and 45-46 percent in 1985." Salamon said cutbacks in federal funds would substantially increase the demand for services from private, nonprofit agencies that often are deeply involved in delivering government services, while simultaneously reducing their ability to meet these demands.

Further, he said, the effect of tax changes on private giving would increase the cost of giving and "I believe will have a dampening effect on private giving." The Urban Institute is a nonprofit policy research and educational organization supported by private corporations and foundations, including Atlantic Richfield, U.S. Steel and Coca-Cola. He said it appeared the Reagan administration won't make any "real policy cuts" in Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security, leaving cutbacks to come out of the non-health-related social service programs those of most concern to the private, nonprofit agencies. Essentially the federal government is "preserving the partnership in the health area," he said. He estimated that social welfare programs would absorb half the budget cuts while representing about 20 percent of the total programs by 1985.

"There will be a fairly dramatic curtailment in virtually all (social service) areas outside of hospitals (by 1985). Social service agencies will lose 65 percent of their 1980 funding levels," he said. He added an optimistic note, however, by saying Congress has enacted only about 60 percent of the cutbacks President Reagan has requested so far. It is his political judgment, he said, that "about 60-70 percent of what I laid out for you is likely to be enacted."

Gersuk and Tony Wharton Stiff Writtrs LAKE WORTH A suspected cocaine dealer was hospitalized with severe head injuries Tuesday night after trying to fight off undercover narcotics agents after a drug sale, sheriff's detectives said. An unnamed agent who bought the drugs and shot at the man as he tried to flee was hospitalized briefly and released. David Beale, 32, is under armed guard at Doctors Hospital and charged with trafficking in cocaine, resisting arrest with violence and battery on a police officer. Organized Crime Bureau Lt. Tom Thompson said Beale sold the agent IVz ounces of cocaine in the Interna tional House of Pancakes parking lot at 4652 Lake Worth Road.

Beale, who refused to tell police his address, is in stable condition and in intensive care. Thompson said an agent struck Beale in the head several times, probably with a pistol, while trying to arrest him. Police also arrested Elizabeth Sue Alferink, 26, who they claim arranged the transaction between Beale and detectives. Ms. Alferink, of 4368 Sussex Ave.

in West Palm Beach, was taken into custody yesterday and charged with conspiracy to traffic in cocaine. A third suspect who accompanied Beale to the drug sale escaped during the struggle and is still at large, Thompson said. After Beale fought and escaped twice, a policeman fired up to three shots at him, missing each time. PHMW "I ".71 1 1 4 piwg I kKi 1 Investment Outlook for 1983.
