Great news for Mexican food aficionados. Tortilla Flats, 2540 Dune Dr. Avalon, will open Friday, April 20 at 5 p.m. It is already decorated with a striking desert mural by local artist Lisa Beard. Linda and Jeffrey Schwartz are the new, personable owners. We asked Jeff where he developed his interest in this type of food and he explained that following his graduation from the Culinary Institute of America he worked for an Intercontinental Hotel with a typical French

restaurant.

However, the Executive chef was Mexican and in his spare time he and Jeff used to "fo6l around” with Mexican specialties. When Jeff and Linda were married they went to New Mexico to learn the Tex-Mex style of cooking. They have no liquor license but it will be a B.Y.O.B. eatery where you can enjoy or add to non-alcoholic Pina Coladas or Margeritas. We can’t wait to try their frijoles.

We love ’em.

George McClelland Scattergood. corrections secretary for Avalon's Senior Citizens Organization, dropped by to tell us latest news about their activities. The group set a new attendance record at the April 10 meeting with over 150 members gathered to hear Freeholder William Stum outline the changes resulting from the dissolution of A T. and T. He did a thorough job and fielded many questions from the

audience.

After his discourse the nominating committee presented its slate of officers to serve for 1984-86. They were approved and elected April 10. Serving will be: President John Walter, Vice President Eileen Rafferty. Treasurer Jack Meyer, Recording Secretary Catherine Jackson and Corrections Secrjetary George Scattergood. George was deploring the fact (that the Avalon Fishirjg Club had its second,'84 off-season breakin over last weekend. Vandalism included two storage sheds broken open and contents cast to the winds "No amount of lighting, barbed wire or surveillance seems to foil the unbalanced mind of vandalistic endeavor." he

reported.

DURING THE Lenten season, neighboring Rectors of Episcopal Churches in the area have taken turns conducting services in churches in parishes other than their own. Most of the parishioners of St. Mary’s Church in Stone harbor met the Rev. Paul Neuer of St. Simeon’s in North Wildwood for the first time Sunday April 8. Fr.' Neuer quickly endeared himself to the congregation by saying." You've heard of the new kid on the block and that’s what I am today. Lend en-

agen

nt to the

acolytes since I may do things which differ from services usually conducted

here."

Both Mark Williams. 10. son of Carolyn Diller, and Christopher Conner, who also was the crucifer, 9, son of Dawn and Keith Conner, carried out their duties with aplomb and hushed

dignity.

Fr. Neuer delivered a sermon urging us "To yield to the message given us by Christ." At the following coffee hour we met Fr. Martin’s mother. Mrs. Sidney Eve, for the first

The Sunday School of the First Methodist Church gave a brunch April 7 which was a smash hit. Eileen Conner and Jo I.evison told us about it since we couldn't make it. The kids, ranging in age from 9 to 12. cooked and served "All the pancakes you can eat" plus sausages and beverage for a minimal fee. Eileen said the food was delicious but the best thing about the occasion was that each participating youngster wore a smile wider that the ocean. The S.H. Seniors' Easter Parade was great fun as always with their band back at full strength. Returning member Herman Sir! is sporting a tan that had everybody else blue with envy. They accompanied the contestants as they paraded among the audience wearing their bonnets. Judges were Marie Siri, Dottle Stump and Evelyn Treher. They chose winners in three categories: Prettiest — First. Lillian Dougherty, Second. Agnes Errickson; funniest — First. Ruth Fisher in an upside-down flower arrangement. Second. Matt Woolery in her thinking cap with light bulb flashing off and

original — First, Peg Grimes with a hat adorned with every kind of seasjtell and Second, Marie Spence in a wee bonnet, baked by her sister, (would we kid you?) from a plastic coffee cup. If you ever try to make one, we did, you’ll agree it should have won a Best-over-all prize. Simple adorable! Monday, April 9, we went to a special session of Avalon Borough Council requested by Chief of Civil Defease T. Griffith Sloan, it concerned what took place in prepration for the storm of March 29. '84 and questioned what further measures should be taken in ensuing emergencies. Sloan told the audience what actually took place from the time his office was alerted at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 28. At noon the mayor, borough council, rescue squad, chiefs gathered and worked through 'til 7 p.m. to allocate responsibilities in case the storm were as severe as predicted. Immediately following, heavy equipment was shoring up vulnerable spots on the island where water might break through, police attempted, and think they succeeded, in warning all merchants. James Henry contacted everyone on his-49-person emergency list and was later thanked by one person "for saving my life". Typically, he gave all credit to Harry Clayton for disconnecting her gas line council President Jeanette Glazier reported sitting by the radio 'til 3 a.m. and seeing no water in the streets, retired until alerted by

mediately of danger; 2. special signal sent by fire siren; 3, police cars with speakers be iked to inform public; and 4, inform residents and visitors, by leaflet, where to park cars on high ground and where to seek shelter. It was point 2 to which Chief Foley objected, saying" three lines would be inadequate to handle inquiries". He agreed a leaflet should be prepared, possibly mailed with tax forms, designating shelters, indicating high and low ground areas, and instructing people to keep a radio on (preferably battery-operated), constantly. during storm warnings. EVERYONE AGREED r cooperation among departments was superb, that the special session had been fruitful and at the annual meeting to be held June^ at Community Hall, at 8 p.m.. Avalon’s council could inform residents of conclusions drawn from experience and, hopefully get further input. We called Councilman Kenneth Hawk. Stone Harbor's Emergency Management Director, to ask if a similar meeting would be called for our borough. He said the matter would be discussed at the regular meeting of Borough Council the following evening. He reported on measures taken before and during the storm. He was also warned by the county at 10 a.m. Wednesday., the 28th and immediately advised the police and Office of Civil Defense, which worked 7-10 p.m. in preparation for the Storm, on Wednesday, from 8 p.m. ’til 1 a.m. the Fire Department warned as many people as possible by phone and vehicles equipped with loudspeakers of impending disaster. /\ll incapacitated persons, or those living

were lapping at her door and she and her neighbors were isolated from vehicular aid. According to Resources Manager Jack Warren, water was rising at the rate of 0.8 ft. per hour at the time until it peaked at 9.1 ft above mean low water. Meanwhile Griff Sloan was driving around in the Blue Goose, an outmoded Army six-wheel personnel vehicle (equally good in mud. snow, sand and high water) collecting people and entinguishing one fire. Phil Judyski, chairman of the Planning Board, commended Sloan for acquiring the vehicle restoring it to working condition and testing it weekly to ensure its efficiency. SUGGESTIONS WERE made for potential future emergencies: Carolyn Burbank said a stock of warm blankets should be available at emergency shelters to guard against hypothermia with, if possible, a doctor at every shelter (Dr. Rodolpho Garcia was on call during this storm). She also offered to give two persons C.P.R. courses if they were interested in helping and would bo available yearround. Fire Chief Richard Dean wants a diesel truck with "the stack above water” but on learning the cost, council agreed this warranted investigation; Police Lt. Tony Taylor advised getting at least a ton of sand to bag which people could pick up, in advance, for protection. Many merchants used Kitty-Litter for that purpose. Police Chief Foley said police have only three phone lines available to the public and chaos would result in Cduncil President Glazier’s fourpoint proposal were put into effect. They Council be warned

alone, were evacuated from their homes and taken to Borough Hall if they so wished. The Rescue Squad transported 10 persons to safety. The Fire Siren was utilized at 5:30 a.m. Thursday to alert residents to the morefeared second high tide. Fortunately the wind switched and damage from the second tide was minimal here. Councilman Hawk especially commended the Fire Department for working 15 straight hours, then spending five-six hrs. cleansing their equipment and, after the storm had receded, spending 6-8 more hours draining flooded basements. He was unstinting of his praise of Red Cross members Hazel Backman and Elaine Cathcart and deeply grateful to two

volunteers, Barbara and Jim Hersh of 89th Street, who worked during the storm to aid all officials. We attended the meeting of Borough Council next evening and were shocked to find an audience of only three. Reports there were: No accidents, no deaths, enormous property damage, all dune fence destroyed, but no fear of what might have happened if the wind hadn't switched. At the Avalon meeting the representative from the county reminded everyone how lucky we were: The wind switched at the critical time, the moon wasn't full and winds could have reached 150 m.p.h. Aren’t we getting a little to complacement, too reliant on public service and dedicated volunteers? We think so.
