News Notes from ■■ Seven Mile Beach 5 M'Ellen Rowland 368-2294

At the Oct. 15th dinner meeting of Stone Harbor's Chamber of Commerce, Councilman R.J. Fitzpa trick clarified the reasoning behind recent legislation. Tbe Obscenity Ordinance passed by necessity because the borough had no ruling governing the "adult type business i.e., "adult" bookstores, "adult" entertainment etc., he said. This ordinance controls the location, layout and operation of any "adult" type business and prohibits obscenity per se. He then addressed the Merchantile License, about which he said, a lot of misinformation has been given out. "IT HAS NOT been surreptitiously introduced by Mayor and Council," he said. In order to pass such legislation there must be much discussion and study, he went on. It was finally put together Tueaday, Oct. 9, and was introduced for first reading. After introduction an ordinance must be published in a newspaper and copies made available to all interested persons, obtainable at borough hall. It then takes about a month before the ordinance comes up again for adoption. At that time there is apublic hearing and all input from the general public can be included. Only then can a final decision be made on the ordinance. THE STATED purpose of this ordinance is to pro vice additional revenue to offset additional costs of municipal services to businesses and identify those persons responsible for the conduct of such business within Stone Harbor. Typical businesses which would at present require a license are: retail stores, service businesses, marinas, restaurants, bars, amusement establishments, motels and hotels and things of a similar nature. Excluded are businesses already licensed by the State i.e., doctors, lawyers, real estate brokers, plumbers, electricians, contractors etc. ' IN PRESENT form the basic fixed fee is $100 to cover the cost of operating the program and provide for the disposal of trash and garbage. An increased fee is imposed for parking and traffic control. An additional fee is based on the size or capacity of each business. Minimum fee generated by this ordinance is $100, and maximum is $200. Those businesses which provide off-street parking can have their fee reduced according to the space they provide. Fine for violation of the ordinance is at least $100 to a maximum of $1,000. It will come up for public hearing Tuesday, Nov. 13, 7 p.m. at Borough Hall. Those who disagree with it should be there and make their feeling known. OFFICERS to serve for the following year proposed by the head of the nominationg committee, Vince Egaa were: president, James Fisher, first vice president, Paul Rowland, second vice president, Pat Wolf, treasurer, Larry Boyle, and executive secretary Robert McCorick. Elec tions will be held at the f

t ' Nov. 19th meeting and nominations will be ac- : cepted from the floor. ) THINGS WE'VE missed t recently include the highly successful party given by lone Pope and > Gracine McMenamy at ; I one's museum-like home on First Avenue. Oct. 15th. i We haven't seen Ione's coli lection of oriental artifacts but those who have give it i nothing but rave notices, t Her rugs, carvings and f wall hangings, mostly of i Japanese derivation, are reported to be fabulous. We'll certainly try to "break a leg" instead of a shoulder next time she i entertains to see all these fascinating objects d' art OnH (Tl.'O 1 rm 1 o fipcf knnj and give you a

report. All the guests who made the scene had a nifty time and make us increasingly envious. Gracine has promised to arrange a private showing of Ione's collection shortly and our spirits soar at the thought. ALSO MISSED our first S.H. Senior's Halloween Party since we moved down here. Those who made the scene said it was the usual great bash, held at the Legion Hall, which had been spookily decorated. Our spouse had stopped over at Herm and Marie Siri's earlier in the day and she was busy preparing goodies then. Sixty people showed up in highly original costumes. First prize for a couple went to Ross and Becky Bailey. Russ was an amputee and Becky was an overdue expectant mother; funniest was Dot Stump as a cleaning lady; Lil Dougherty and Gracine McMenamy won first and second as prettiest; Frank Delia was most original with Quentin Sternberg winning second as a suregon with prices for operations printed on the back of his gown. Serving on the committee with the Siris were the Andrew Woolerys, Jean Westoff, and Marie Spence and judges were Marie Spence, Ann Allen and Jo Levison. • • • Esther Stobbart, a Senior Master of duplicate bridge of Sunset Drive, Stone Harbor, died following a long illness on Sunday, Oct.28. Services were held for her at the Evoy Funeral Home Oct. 31. She was known from Ocean City to Cape May for her expertise in tournament bridge. She is survie4 by her son, builder Robert Stobbart. • • • DELIGHTED to learn that Delores Mehan of Shelter Haven Realty Co. is home after a long stay in the hospital following an accident she suffered in N. Wildwood on Friday, Oct. 19, along with the driver of the car in which she was riding, Vincent Savarese. They both sustained multiple injuries and Savarese is still hospitalized • • • JUST CALL this reporter Klutz. My spouse and I started out from Stone Harbor on Oct. 12 for a wedding and gathering of the Clan Macdonald on Lake Champlain in Vermont. We travelled through

magnificent foliage, arrived at a nice motel and joined our cousins from New York. On checking into the motel I noticed the heavy fringe on the velour bedspreads on the floor and warned my consort of the inherent danger thereof. Five of us had dinner and made plans for the next day: First the wedding in Burlington where we'd meet the California branch of the clan, take the wedding reception tour of Lake Champlain on a paddleboat and wind up at the bride's mother's home for a wedding reception dinner. It all sounded great! ONE BIG HITCH — cousin M'Ellen Rowland

9 caught her high heel in the bedspread fringe and crushed her shoulder against the bureau. The rest of the family left for the festivities and we went to the excellent Medical Center of Burlington, Vt. On finding I was not a local resident they told us to leave for New Jersey the following morning. These orders we followed and Dr. Rudolpho Garcia put us into the skilled hands of Dr. James N. Judson within minutes. He wrought miracles and here I am, three weeks later, trying to type a column with my left hand. IF YOU have to hit a major disaster this is the place to do it. Father Wesley Martin called within 10 minuted of my homecoming, good

neighbor Becky Bailey called seconds later to say she was sending dinner for both of us (really gourmet fare), and our first and best friend in our adopted home, Stone Harbor, Matt Woolery, supplied me with comfortable clothing immediately and has called daily since with delec tables. Breaking my neck eight years ago was a piece of cake compared to this — Jerry and I both extend thanks to each and every one of you who supported us through the past month by prayer, thought, cards, gifts and deeds — without your help we feel we never would have made it. Most sincerely, the recipients of your kindtness.
