WE WERE distressed to ledrn from Mary Ann Yockey that she had sold her shop. The Sea Horse on the Wharf, because if soon became one of our favorites when we moved here. Mary Ann told us she had sold it to a nifty couple and that We’d like them — sd we felt better.

The new owners are Geri (Geraldine) and Jim Allax from'Green Creek, wbere Jim was bom and raised. Many of you probably know Jim already — he is the manager of t'he 7-11 Store in ’

Gansert Hits Back At Kehner

SEA ISLE CITY - Commissioner Alan Gansert strongly denied chaises by Bill Kehner that he ik supporting William Van Artsdalen for city commissioner to gain the city’s mayoralty. "There’s no question that Van and I respect Mayor Raffa and realize his position affords the city greater influence in the state government,” commented Gansert. HE ALSO NOTED that City solicitor Jeff April advised Mayor Raffa that his appointment as mayor by majority vote last May could not be recalled during the next four years. "Kehner hopes to rely on an emotional campaign and it’s never going to develop from our side,” Gansert said. "He will have to stand on his record of the last four years in this election." GANSERT WAS critical of that record, Gansert stated that, Kehner is consistently absent from his department and charged his disregard for proper use of the chain of command has caused dissension and political intregue in the police department. "Four years ago our recreation program was the best in the area and now H has become the worst. Every town on the shore ; has a recreation building and recreation director to run programs designed to enhance the family resort image, every one but Sea Isle," Gahserrt, asserted. "LAST AND MOST importantly, Bill Kehner has presided over rampant and uncontrolled growth. The

the ViHas. They have two sons, Rod who is 19, and Jimmy, eleven. GERI HAD WORKED before and with the two boys now grown up she was getting restless. She was leafing through the want ads for an interesting job when her eyes were arrested by an ad in business opportunities of a gift shop for sale in Stone Harbor. She called Mary' Ann, immediately fell in love with . the Sea Horse, as did Jim, and in the blink o? an eye they bought it and were in business for thf Labor Day weekend, Geri feels it must have been kismet. She loves the town, thinks the people are great and still has to pinch herself to believe the shop is really hers. Stop in and listen to her enthusiasm, it’s contagious, .WE WERE invited to an absolute elegant wedding Oct. 10 at Maris Stella Church in Avalon. Sally O'Leary, the glamorous assoc, real estate broker .with First Eastern, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis St. Clair O'Leary of 119th St., married Bennett Cv Robinson, Buckncll graduate and presently manager of the Golden Inn in Avalon. Bennett is the son of Mr. and Mrs. 11. Bennett Robinson of Rumson, N.J.

Sally's sister Meg. was maid of honor and her bridesmaids were Susan O’Leary Harblson, Amy O'Leary. Mary Robinson Heyne and Patricia Kay Lenza. They wore long russet red dresses and car ried bouquet of small pink carnations, tiny pink roses and daisies. MRS. ROBINSON wore French blue gathered loosely at the neckline and the bride's mother wore dusty pink. , Bennett’s bestman was his brother, ,J. Christian and ushers included Michael O'Leary, George Lytle, Jeffrey Steel and Michael !,enza. The bride was exquisite in a gown of white lace embroidered with seed pearls. The ceremony was the more beautiful because of the voice of Father William Hodge and the music of organist William Heyne. A huge reception was held at (where else?) the Tolden Inn.

LAST WEEK Stone Har bor's Civic Club prexy, Dottie Stump, organized a luncheon trip tt> SmitHville Inn; husbands were invited. We took a picturesque route which also proved'to be a short cut We were surprised to find that the foliage has started to change offshore just a few miles to the north. We hadn't been in Smithville for 15 years and • were startled by its growth and beautiful landscaping. It would be a neat place to take kids too. There is a small farm where one may

feed the animals; a large two-masted Chesapeake schooner in the lake and tame geese all over the place. THERE WERE IH of us in all, and Dotty had engaged a private room for 20. The drinks were authorative. the service absolutely top drawer. We all ordered from the menu and

eveyone was pleased with his or her selection The bread was scrumptious and we brought one of the two loaves they gave us home in the’ doggy bag our waitress thoughtfully provided without being asked. This evidently is an annual occasion and we're already looking forward to next year

result has been an over burdened sewage system, parking difficulties, and in-dt-eased* city services. In spite of Kehner's telling the people that all this construction will hold down taxes, taxes have increased 37 per cent over the last two years." noted Gansert. "I am supporting William Van Artsdalen becuase he wjll bring a ' fresh approach to our community's problems and displays the kind of enthusiasm needed to run an efficient and effective government. He will make decisions based on the good of the people, not political convenience."
