News Notes from Lower Township E.J. Duffy 465-5055

CONGRATULATIONS to Township Manager James R. Stump, his wife, Pat, and their first-born, Matthew, 2, on the latest addition to their family. Christopher John Stump came into the world at Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital, Court House, 11 :57 p.m. last Wednesday. He tipped the scales at seven pounds. Both mom and babe are doing fine, dad reported last week. A month premature, Christopher arrived just in time for the holidays, and in time enough to be counted as a happy little dependent. He therefore preserves the beat-the-IRS tradition started in Lower last year when two officials saw their December babies born — Township Solicitor Bruce Gorman and Planning Board Solicitor Paul Dare. Dare and his wife, Sherri, of Court House became the parents of a little girl Dec. 7, 1983. Gorman and his wife, Grace, had their third child Dec. 16. Belated birthday greetings to the tots and very best wishes to the Stumps for the newborn. • • • SPEAKING OF belated birthdays, in last week's column we offered greetings to Lower Democratic chairman Pat Calfma and her daughter, Florence Theresa, a freshman at Lower Cape May Regional. Flo celebrated her 14th birthday but we neglected to mention Pat's age — as one of our readers was quick to

point out. She's 42 (according to the reader). TOWNSHIP COUNCIL adopted ordinances last week, allowing police to regulate parking in shopping center lots (Ordinance 84-6A) and increasing mobile home fees (Ordinances 84-13A and 14A) to $144 a year, payable to the township instead of trailer park owners. Council, tabled several other proposals, however. Scheduled for introduction as Ordinance 84-17A; an anti-pornography measure was shelved until councilmen can review, and meet to discuss it. Eric Gaver, local attorney for a Philadelphia nursing home developer, asked council and it agreed to postpone final action on Ordinance 84-10A. It would allow nursing homes in the township's R-2 residential zone and permit construction of a 180-bed facility in Cold Spring by Gaver's client. Manager Stump also postponed scheduled discussion last week on his proposed 1985 budget, and the projected Group W Cable rate increase. Since council is tentatively slated to hold its next meeting and reorganize Jan. 7, it may reconsider the tabled measures then. I THE TOWNSHIP Municipal Utilities Authority has posted a revised meeting schedule through Aug. 20, 1985. Meetings will be held first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7:30 p.m. in Township Hall, 2600 Bayshore Road, Villas. Next year's meeting schedules for council and township .hoards will probably be released in the coming month. • • • BARNEY DOYLE, president of the Villas branch, Ancient Order of Hibernians, reports that the organization recently elected him and other 1985 officers. The other officers are: Albert McLaughlin, vice president; Jim McDonald, secretary; Joseph Haggerty, treasurer; John Colfer, financial secretary ; Charles Madden, warden, and James Manning, sentinel. • • • VERNA RIGHTER, secretary of the Taxpayers' Association of Lower Township, announced that it will meet 7 : 30 p.m. Jan. 9 in i :

the Joseph Millman Community Center, Bayshore Road. For information, call 884-7445. AS PRESIDENT of the Gardening by the Sea Club, she reports that it will meet 9:30 a.m. Jan. 9 in Township Hall. • • • ED ROSE of AARP Chapter 691 can be reached at 886-7445 for information on its Jan. 9 meeting at 1 p.m. in Victorian Towers, Washington Street, Cape May. • • • REMINDERS — Lower's Democratic Club hosts an open house membership drive with refreshments Jan. 15 at the clubhouse, Bayshore Road and Washington Avenue, Villas. Call Linda Merrill for details at 886-1468. Don't call Anne Myers at 886-0514 for information about the club's turkey /beef dinner Jan. 20 or the Feb. 1 -penny party. That's not her proper phone number; call the right one instead, 889-0514. Tickets to the dinner are $5 each.
