2 THE DAILY TIMES Salisbury, Md. Nov. 13, 1985 NEWS IN BRIEF Day Care Ordinance Passes First Test SALISBURY An ordinance which would change the city's zoning codes to allow family day care in attached housing units such as apartments and townhouses, was unanimously passed on first reading Tuesday by the city council. The question will come up before the council again at its next meeting, and if passed then, will become law. The Wicomico County Council passed the same ordinance about a month ago.

The councils became involved in the matter after Sandra Hendrix of Moss Hill Apartments, who was forced to give up her babysitting practice because she lived in an apartment, fought for more than a year to have zoning ordinances changed. According to both county and city codes in existence prior to the ordinances, family day care was allowed solely in detached single family houses. Developers Get OK On Wastewater Plan GEORGETOWN A new mobile home development will be allowed to spray treated wastewater on nearby fields, the Sussex County Council decided Tuesday. But the council delayed a decision to allow developers Robert Tunnell and Robert Tunnell Jr. to begin construction of the 503-site Pots Nest West near Long Neck.

The treatment facility is a new type that allows final treatment to take place as the wastewate trickles through the soil. Leaf Burners Must Call Fire Board First DOVER Delawareans who burn leaves and other debris this fall are required by state law to call their county fire call board first. The new law is intended to reduce the number of false alarms reported when smoke from a fall cleanup fire is mistaken for that of a serious blaze. Lt. Gov.

Woo Turns To Paper For Help WILMINGTON Lt. Gov. S.B. Woo is advertising for an administrative assistant. State Democratic Chairman Samuel L.

Shipley said an advertisement placed in Tuesday's editions of the Morning News and Evening Journal was the first time he could remember a lieutenant governor having to go to the classifieds to find office help. Such jobs are usually political plums reserved for loyal campaign workers and the like. Woo said he has had trouble finding qualified candidates because the pay, less than $18,000 a year, is low. Job Performance May Determine Pay DOVER A "Pay for Performance" proposal would link many Delaware state employees' pay raises to how well they do their jobs. The proposal is one of several before the Compensation and Productivity Commission appointed by Gov.

Michael N. Castle in May to recommend changes needed in policies governing pay, benefits, training and employee productivity. Under the proposal, employees affected would receive half of an annual raise automatically but the second half would depend on job performance. More than 4,100 of the 9,240 merit system employees would be included. BIRTHS Tuesday Beebe Hospital, Lewes.

Hutchinson, left, a Democrat, fields questions at a press conference in Salisbury Tuesday as part of his campaign for U.S. Senate seat being: vacated by Republican Sen.

Charles McC. Mathias. At right is state Sen. Fred Malkus, D-Dorchester. (Times Photo) Hutchinson Brings Campaign To Shore By MICHELE DIETZ Of The Times Staff SALISBURY Baltimore County Executive Donald P.

Hutchinson visited Salisbury Tuesday to announce his candidacy for U.S. Senate, admitting he has "a lot of work to do" in campaigning to gain recognition on the Eastern Shore. Hutchinson said he brings "a perspective" to the senatorial that of his Democratic party opponents, Congressman Michael Barnes of Montgomery County and Congresswoman Barbara Mikulski of Baltimore, because he is currently a local government official. He said his local experience, in comparison to his opponents' forte in the national arena, would be an asset, rather than a drawback, to his constituents in Maryland if elected. A two-term executive of Baltimore County and a former member of the Maryland state senate and state house of delegates, Hutchinson, 39, said he, unlike his opponents, knows the "local concerns of local communities, and has "made a difference" in addressing those concerns.

He added that he is probably no less well known on the Shore than Mikulski or Barnes. Hutchinson has been popular in his native Baltimore County. A graduate of Frostburg State College, he was the youngest man ever to be elected to Baltimore County Executive, and gained more votes for that office in the last election than has ever been received by any county official in any election. A moderate Democrat, Hutchinson said the two foremost objectives of his platform are the encouragement of economic development and the elimination of the national deficit. However, Hutchinson said his major concern with respect to the Eastern Shore is the condition of the Chesapeake Bay.

Hutchinson said he feels the federal government should get involved in the protection and he said should not be "just the cleanup efforts of the bay, which responsibility of the state, and particularly not just the people of southern Maryland and the people of the Eastern Shore." He also echoed feelings of local government officials on the lower Eastern Shore that the Chesapeake Bay Critical Areas Criteria proposed by the state is unfair to the counties of the Eastern Shore, making them pay for the damages done by other regions of Maryland and other states. "To suggest the bay is now totally dependent upon the protection given to it by the Eastern Shore is wrong," Hutchinson said. "I think it (the criteria) is very restrictive on the Eastern Shore, and has the possibility of hurting econoic development significantly." Huge Winter Storm Trudges Eastward KANSAS CITY, Mo.
