News Notes from Seven Mile Beach ' ' • M'Ellen Rowland 368-2294 V..- '

Don't forget the zoning board hearing for a variance on property known as Pier 96 is scheduled for 8 p.m. Friday at Borough Hall. Perhaps we'll even learn why an office building containing 20 units would require more than 30 baths with tubs yet ! Margery DeLollis and Deborah Repici were changing their windows at the Village Shop, 9836 3rd Ave. when we stopped there yesterday.%fThe theme will be Mother's Day and pirik the featured color. They will be giving a divine spring fashion show for the Sea Lions Tuesday, May 14, at the Harbor Light restaurant. It'll be a benefit for the Helen Diller Home for the Blind and we promise the clothes will be smashing! It'll be municipal election day in Avalon but there's no election in Stone Harbor, so it won't be a dry lunch necessarily. We saw some of the outfits to be modeled and they're mouth-watering. • The gowns are so dramatic Debbie tells us they only buy two of them in different sizes to avoid having customers showing up in the same dress at the same party. She also said many of their customers come down here from Philadelphia for that reason. Reservations are a must for the luncheon, so contact your favorite Sea Lion for tickets. THE ANNUAL Jamboree given by the Coordinated Council of Senior Citizens, the Office on Aging and the County Freeholders is scheduled tomorrow at Community Hall, 30th and Avalon Avenue from 11 until 3. All seniors are invited to participate in the yearly treat arranged by the three organizations. A delicious luncheon is served, entertainment is provided and the door prizes are numerous and really nice. Some merchants donate gift certificates which the guests love' winning, natch. The Coordinated Council of Older Citizens meets the first Monday of each month at 11 a.m. in the meeting room of the County Library except for June, July and August, and all county seniors are cordially invited to join them. AT THE MAY 1 meeting of S.H. Seniors, Carey Boss, president, read a letter addressed to members from The Joint Committee - Community Center. This committee is composed of the three newest members of borough council, Messrs. Kenneth Hawk. William

Cathcart and Robert Boyer. plus three members of ' the school board, Douglas Stanford. Billie Sellers and A I Meadowcroft. The letter stated the Board of Education "has recently purchased a property adjacent to the east side of the Stone Harbor Elementary School ... purchase was made possible through the overwhelming support of the voters in an election held on Dec. 11, 1984." Following the election the above-named committee met with Borough Council to investigate the proposal of erecting a community center on the site. The letter solicited input from the Seniors because, speaking as a member, many of us have felt our needs and wants have too long been neglected by borough officials-. 'Among facilities suggested in the joint committee's letter for inclusion in the center were :, gymnasium/auditorium, swimming pool, commercial-size kitchen, sauna/steam baths. Nautilus room, whirlpool bath, stage, and arts and crafts room. We can think of at least six auditoriums with kitchen facilities presently usable: Women's Civic Club, Fire Hall, American Legion, two parish halls and the elementary school itself. In this reporters, opinion, the center would be built on school ground and thus controlled by the school board. We fhay be considered to be in our second childhood, but this is,a bit much. Pres. Boss suggested that he work with a group of Seniors so he could respond to the query with informed answers based on a majority of Seniors' wishes. The school has a total enrollment of 84 students. Boss said that he had no wish to direct the thinking of others in any way, but "frankly, I think, for a school this size and the » number of students involved, I can't see building another gymnasium." WE'RE GOING to the Big Apple to see my daughter Maris Clement, and Patrick Quinn appear in Herbert Sondheim's musical, A Little Night Music. They'll have roles of Count and Countess Malcolm in the show at Equity Library Theater. Patrick is the nephew of Tina Remy of Sea Isle City and he and Maris met 11 years ago when Patrick was producing dinner theater in Philadelphia. They've remained friends ever since and spent last fall touring Rome, Greece and Egypt together. Patrick is now a vice presi-

dent of Actors' Equity i Union. The show dates are May 19 'til June 2. • • • i WE WERE surprised to learn April 29 that attorney John Kokonos has withdrawn his name from ; the ballot of the June 29 i primary election to select two council members to serve on Stone Harbor's Borough Council for a three-year period. Kokonos assured us that this is merely a postponement and that he will be filing to run again next year. This will certainly be welcome news for the 100 persons who signed the petition asking that his name be placed on the ballot. He also told us he would be present at the Meet the Candidates night at the Fire Hall which will take place before this column reaches you. The three remaining can- j didates are: Incumbents Eric W. Arenberg, Audrey Hardy and Robert Sellers. We first met Michael Daughterty of Dennisville at Andre's beauty salon, which his mother Gerry owns. We got to know him well when he was the handsomest waiter at Henny's and ran his own lawn care service. He graduated from Middle Township High and entered the Naval Recruit Training Command in Orlando, Fla. Gerry is never effusive but she couldn't surpress a quiet note of pride when she described Mike's graduation ceremonies April 19 at the Orlando Base where he took his basic training. He is now a Signalman's Apprentice and when he graduates from this course he'll be directing air traffic with his signal flags. THE THING we love best about New York is the fun of celebrity watching. We have a good place for seeing them here, too. The Gdden Inn in Avalon also gels its share. David Brinkley and his family stayed there, art lover and socialite Mrs. John (Bonnie) Wintersteen. who is a past president of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and trustee on. the Academy of Fj«e,Arts were there last summer. Last week while we were there Sugar Ray Leonard, retired welterweight champion of the world and most famous boxer since Mohammad Ali, was having dinner with his wife Juanita. his son Ray Jr. and 2-year-old son whose name we didn't catch. They drove from their home in Silver Springs, Md. for a vacation overlooking the sea. Ray Jr. is the little celebrity we all watch on T V i n the 7-UP

commercials. On our way home from the Court House we stopped at the Red Geranium gift shop, 2799 Dune Dr.. Avalon. to pick up some greeting cards. The boutique is open daily except for January, so we shop there for stocking stuffers too. Owner Helen Reed does her own buying and has terrific taste. Joanie Gallagher was on duty the day we stopped and she showed us all the new items using the watermelon theme — for obvious reasons we collect them. ON APRIL 27 we were guests of the Avalon Committee for Performing Arts and the Women's Civic Club for an evening of fun provided by the Wildwood String Band. Councilman Dick and Betty Light greeted us when we arrived and on our way in we saw Ann and Jack Brethertcn. Marvannr Busha. Shirley and Ray Beck (how any organizaiton makes it without Ray's help we don't know), Helen Wright and Florence Campbell. Grace

Allen, who sat right behind us, kept exhorting our spouse to dance aH night. Bob Hoffnagle gave us a brief history of the musical organization, which marched in the New Year's Day Mummer s Parade for years until the depression when many large bands had to drop out. When the group withdrew it ceded its place in the marching line and had to start closer to the rear when it returned for two years in 1951 and again when it reentered in 1983. Costumes for this year are super - half of them are red and silver, the other silver with blue. The band's merry oldsmobile was decorated in all three colors. First time we've ever seen the costumes close up and we were surprised to find they are made up of many sections i.e., separate legs and arm parts to facilitate fast dressing and storage. irs NO SECRET Broad Street can be cold and%indy that day, and Mummers frequently fortify themselves against the chill. This year Captain

Frank Inverso Jr. asked marchers to forego liquid inspiration in deference to younger members and every Mummer complied with the request. Lots of audience participation in the South Philly Strut — classiest was Dr. Joe McMenamin. who had something to strut abut. He was accepted on the staff-of Burdette Tomlin Hospital that morning. Katherine Jackson' was super strutter among the ladies and we must admit our best beau. Jeffy Rowland, did the niftiest jitterbug with a pretty girl Mummer. Sandy and A I Meadowcroft drove up to Bensalem, Pa., to see their son young Al take firs! place in a contest sponsored by the Philadelphia Section of the American Welding Society for postsecondary schools. He received the award at the Holiday Inn there. Al is a 1984 graduate of Middle Township High and Cape May County Vo-Tech School. He currently attends Welder Training Institute in Pennsauken.
