to its to out 1 1 I I I I I I I 1190 19t rite turns political By KARL SVATEK JR. Take one typical, political fund-raising event, add a dash of Hawaiian flavor and you have an unusual affair that is designed to fatten the coffers and grab the attention of the media. Assemblyman James W. McCabe Sr. played it to perfection yesterday at Highland Park in Endwell.
Democrat McCabe, who is seeking his fifth term in the state Assembly, had the place decorated with tissue-paper pineapples and signs that said "Aloha" as scores of supporters shelled out $10 to dress in Hawaiian print clothing, eat two roast pigs a and hear Hawaiian music. In a press release earlier this week to announce the affair, McCabe's aides said the fund 1 raiser may have been "the first authentic Hawaiian 1 luau on the continental United States." Overstatement aside, the supporters who attendec laughed and enjoyed themselves while simulta neously marveling about the whole, roast pig that slowly turned over a large charcoal pit. The idea came from Casemiro Epe, the director of the Broome County Mental Health Association and a native of Hawaii. He and some of McCabe's aides began arriving at the park at 5:30 a.m. to begin roasting the pigs, one after another.
Each took up to eight hours and weighed just over 100 pounds, Epe said. At the luau, Epe told about how his family would roast pigs on birthdays and how sometimes pigs be placed in a hole dug in the ground. The pig would be sheathed in leaves and hot lava rocks would be placed in the hole to roast the pig. "Although the luau was originally a polytheistic ritual offered in thanks to the guardian spirits," the press release said, "contemporary luaus are now feasts of celebration with no religious significance." But this one had political significance. McCabe and his aides boasted that 600 persons had paid to attend the event and to sample the food, beer and other goodies.
Those attending included Broome County Executive Donald L. McManus, Sheriff John J. Andrews, state Senate candidate Guy J. Luciano, county clerk candidate Richard A. Hogan and party chairman Joseph P.

Pops, "I said, 'Great, we'll do Jaws. Can you get Immediately he said yes that's just the kind of guy Farrell Farrell, promotional director for WAAL radio, is the main reason the Pops will float on the Chenango River tonight at 8 with sharks, in the form of NYPenn divers, circling them while they play the theme from the movie Jaws. Farrell said WAAL's general manager, Tom Shepanko, planted the idea for waterborn music about a year ago.
In October Farrell got the Pops involved, and three months ago the idea was formally presented to First City Division of Lincoln First Bank. Since then one of Farrell's main concerns has been how to float an orchestra on a river. "The first option was to get a U.S. Army A 199 A River; add leftover Regatta rafts HA HA pontoon," Farrell said.

Michael R. Wright, senior assistant county attorney, served a summons on Binghamton Corporation Counsel Kenneth Auerbach yesterday afternoon. The summons requires Auerbach to reply within 20 days.
The Binghamton School District also believes the city owes it part of the money the city has collected in lieu of taxes from Woodburn Court, Ely Park and the ABC Housing Redevelopment Authority. County attorneys believe they may also be entitled to payments from the Binghamton Urban Renewal Agency. The school district estimates it is owed between $250,000 and $300,000 for payments that were collected in the past six years. Wright estimates the county is owed at least $70,000. The statute of limitations on payments made six years ago may expire Tuesday.
ada City and school district officials could not be reached for comment yesterday afternoon. School district officials, however, have said they are likely to sue the city if it does not voluntarily comply with their requests. Since 1961, the city has collected more than in payments from the housing projects. The payments are designed to defray the cost of expenses municipalities provide to the projects, and the county and school district believe their taxpayers should not be supporting public housing in Binghamton.
