the.thin beaches.

"If a storm similar to the one that occurred in 1M2 were to happen again, you can count on the destruction of houses which are near roads that end right next to the beach The waves will tear down the boardwalk and use that wood as battering rams against the houses The jvaves will roll right down the street and gather momentum as they move down hill," Dr. Parrel said / .FOR THAT PARTICULAR area, Dr. Parrel has two suggestions: One, bring the sand back from the northern end of the island with a sand scraper during the winter months This will build up the dune's height and.width, Which Dr. FarrCl claims will buy time against the storm. The second suggestion is to fill sand bags with a hydraulic pump, then lay them on the beach and cover them up with Sand' The height and width of the duries are the two best deterenLs keeping thfe sea from reaching the street "You can think of it in military strategy Where you have weak Umb of defense you might lose the battle. If you have strong lines of defense with back-up lines you stand a much better. dbHMaof winning. " Dr Parrel explained kt THE MEETING a movie was shown wMeh was made by a local resident who came back to look at his house shortly aflbr the 1962 storm had passed The movie documented the complete destruction of many homes, roads and businesses. But Dr Parrel claimed the '62 storm wasn't all that big. "It was not a hurricane but it was a northeasterly that had average wind velocity of 35 mph and gusra of up to 60

mph

There are IWo reasons the storm was so devastating, he continued. The first was that the storm stayed in one place for 36 hours This raised the* low mean tide to 11 44 ft. above normal. The base flood

STONE HARBOR - Chief William Donohue has announced that three traffic safety officers, under the direction of Sgt. Victor Gorski. began June 14 to enforce parking regulations and the borough’s dog and bicycle ordinances. Formed last summer to deal specifically with these problems, the unit, by the end of the season, had issued 22 summonses and 106 warnings for dog ordinance violations, four summonses and 232 warnings for bicycle ordinance violations, two summonses and 56 warnings for moped-

elevation level is 7W-6 ft.) The second reason was because it hit during a perigean tide, which means the moon was closest to the Earth and exerting the maximum amount of gravitational pull on the

tide. •

AT HIGH TIDE all the roads leaving the Tl, « n *A island were at least 4 ft. under water. The /iris

resort bayside. which suffered heavily, was completely submerged. Houses were literally floating around smashing into one another. The reason that the houses left their pilings, Dr. Parrel claims, is because mdny of them weren't properly secured. • Some houses, he said, were just set on their pilings with.no straps, or just small nails And .he worried that many of the newly built houses suffer from the same defects as the older houses did; namely, they aren't secured to their pilings proper-

Furthermore he continued, meteorologists agree the Jersey Cape is due for what they term a hundred year .ntorm. Although they aren’t exactly sure what that storm will be like, they can predict if by using past weather data. ACCORDING TO HER HUSBAND T.G. .Sloan, who heads Civil Defense in Avalon, ' 'The only device we have for evacuation is an early warning. The Weather Service can guarantee us a 12-hour warning." Mr. Slofln also pointed out that "during the height of the summer season, there are 25,000 people in Avalon. If we hhd to evacuate them it would take us 10 hours, that's if there are no accidents. We have only one route out, and that is 30th St. The plan is that people must go northbound on

the expressway "

Dr. FarreKs research was funded by the Coastal Zone Management Asso. Another meeting is scheduled for sometime in mid-August. It will deal specifically with options that can be taken to increase protection against coastal

People who are causing their neighbors to report noise complaints to the police are warned that if more than two comtolaints are received from any-qne address, and officers cobfirm the noise, those responsible will be arrested. Two individuals were arrested recently by police officers responding to a third complaint or noise. "I would like everyone to know that we will probably issue a warning on the first complaint, probably arrest on the second complaint and most definitely arrest on the third," Donohue reported. If convicted of a violation of tbe borough noise ordinance the minimum fine is $50.

What to Do with Old Lighthouse?

(From Page I > the meeting that the lighthouse had been badly neglected, and that it was an integral part of the city's history. "It represents the start of North Wildwood,” said citizen Charles Versaggi. "It'a a symbol, it's what North Wildwood was in the past and what it has become since It hurts to see it falling apart," he said Robert Scully, who lives opposite the building, said that besides devaluating his property, the building’s delapidated state created a -bad impression on North Wlkfwood's main street CITY COUNCILMAN Walter Shivers eaid the lighthouse was an important part of Me childhood, and an important part of the dty’e history: "It was a protector to the fishing industry and one of the brightest lights on the coast," he said. "When it is restored it will not only be a “t to the city but to the state." he said.

The SOVEREIGN STATE of AFFAIRS

City official Tom Flud said the city had a long-standing offer to take over the lighthouse but that the money was no

longer available.

"The city has tried to buy the building from the DEP since 1963 but the money's not there right now but we’re going after funding sources to work on the building,"

he explained.

Lifeguards Helping Out On Dunes

STRATHMERE - The Upper Township Beach Patrol has been working on a dune preservation program along the Upper Township beaches here, following the suggestion of Mayor Leonard Migllaccio. On a recent inspection tour of the beaches here, Mayor Migliaccio noted how much the sand buildup has occurred along the dune line, due in part to snow fence that traps blowing sand. The mayor felt that some additional snow fence placed in areas along the dune would help the sand build-up, and UTBP Cpt. David Schmidt agreed

that the lifeguards would tackle the job. The dupe building project is at tne northern end of the island. In the Whale Beach section, where the storm last October totally destroyed the dunes, the mayor noted that "progress is being made with the state” to install a system of groins and sand pumping. The mayor noted that the Whale teach project being done by the state with co-operation from the township and possibly the county, is ‘moving along slowly, but at least the state is finally taking some interest.”’
