Environmental Education Week in

According to a recent proclama-

environmental education throughout
the state school system.
In support of the Governor’s pro-

effective environmental program
that emphasizes the importance of
protecting our natural resources for
future generations.
To assist in these efforts, publica-

the State Department of Education,
Department of Environmental
Resources, the Bureau of State
Parks, the Pennsylvania Fish and

removal of the structures.
Structures scheduled for removal
under this year’s program accord-
ing to the Board of Supervisors, are
located at 53 South Pioneer Avenue,
63 Stafford Street, and 84 North

D.E.R. approved landfill.
This Vector Control Program is
an attempt to improve unsightly
conditions within the Township and
to eliminate hazards which pose a
threat to the health, safety, and
welfare of township citizens.

With anticipation gone and most
of the excitement dissipated, it is
time to take a‘look, in retrospect, at
the Television Academy of Arts and
Sciences 37th annual Emmy award
presentations. This year’s telecast,
with its usual surprises, was far
more entertaining and fast-paced
than previous years.
‘‘Hill Street
Blues,’”” second
among series
nominations with
11, was a disap-
pointment to its
fans. The series
only added one
award to the 25
awards it
amassed in its
first four seasons,
that award going
to Betty
Thomas as best supporting actress.
It was expected that 1985 would
bring an end to the dominance of
“Hill' Street Blues” in the Emmy
department; in fact, it was long
overdue.
‘Miami Vice,” the series that
many critics believed would become
the new champion of Emmys, was
honored with four. The first three
were technical awards for art direc-
tion, cinematography, and film
sound editing. They were well-
deserved since the show is noted for
its “look,” high-fashion, and music
style. The fourth Emmy went to
Edward James Olmos as best sup-
porting actor.
It was the series ‘Cagney &
Lacey” that surprisingly outshot all
favorites and garnered the most
Emmys, a total of six. It was not so
much a surprise that Cagney &
Lacey’”’” dominated the series
awards, as it was that the voting
members of the Television Acad-
emy of Arts and Sciences finally
recognized the merit and quality of
the show. Emmys went to Karen
Arthur, best directing of a drama
series, and Patricia Green, best
writing of a drama series.
The - CBS series also won two
technical awards for film editing
and film sound mixing. Much to the
pleasure of executive producer
Barney Rozenzweig, ‘‘Cagney &
Lacey’ was the winner in one of the
most prestigious categories, ‘‘Out-
standing Drama Series.”
Tyne Daly, who portrays Mary
Beth Lacey, was announced best
actress in a drama series for the
third consecutive year. It was disap-
pointing that Sharon Gless was not
grams such as ‘Cagney & Lacey’
and even ‘Kate & Allie,” it is
difficult to understand how one
actresss can take precedence over
the other when both compliment
each other. In such situations, it
wold be far more equitable if co-
awards were feasible.
William Daniels, who plays Dr.
Mark Craig on ‘St. Elsewhere,”
won his first Emmy in three tries
Moving on to comedy...There was
never a doubt that ‘“The Cosby
Show” would win as best comedy
series. The show was the biggest hit
of the season for NBC in its attempt
to make a ratings comeback. The
series also won best comedy writing
for Ed Weinberg and Michael
Leeson and best directing for Jay
Sandrich.
Robert Guillaume, in Bill Cosby’s
absence, was recognized as best
actor for his role in ‘“Benson,’’ while
Jane Curtin of “Kate & Allie” was
acknowledged as best actress in a
comedy series. Outstanding support-
ing actor and actress in a comedy
series went to John Larroquette,
“Night Court,” and Rhea Perlman,
“Cheers.”
. Other recipients of Emmys were
“Do You Remember Love?” best
dramatic special; “The Jewel in the
Crown,” (PBS) best limited series;
“Motown Returns to the Apollo,”
outstanding variety, comedy, or
music special, and “Garfield in the
Rough,” outstanding animated pro-
gram.
All in all, NBC led the Emmys
with 25 including 13 technical
awards; CBS finished second with
18, PBS with 17 and ABC with 8.
