No mincing of words! Lisa Fligier is an incom parable student and tremendous young lady She is an asset to our fair Island and a credit to Wildwood High School Valedictorian of her class. Fligier maintained an A average in her four years at WHS! No small accomplishment. to be sure. Fligier's achievements have not gone unnoticed, and that is a credit to the powers who be that review the accomplishments of outstanding high school grads. Graduation found this remarkable lass bestowed with the George M Betz Science Award, the Greater Wildwood Lion's Club Memorial Scholarship. the Presidential Academic Fitness Award, the New Jersey School women's Scholarship. the American Legion l/ocal Unit 184 Scholarship, and the Rutgers Scholarship. AND ... THK recognition continues ...

Scholars Program I told you she was remarkable Fligier is the daughter of Sonia Fligier • obviously an equally remarkable mother) and lives in North Wildwood She will be entering Rutgers University this fall as an English major, minoring in psychology We wish her well! Also on the academic front, it should be noted that Scott T/orfas was recently graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a B.S. degree in Pharmacy. Scott is the son of "Hemic" and Barbara T/orfas of Wildwood Crest I wonder where he is going to work? Scott s parents own the Villas Pharmacy in Lower Township Obviously Ber nie's speedy prescription service will become even faster with the extra set of hands manning the mortar and pestle IT LOOKS as though Enrico's niay be opening for the season Right now. it looks as though it will be under the guidance of First Peoples Bank, and not the proprietorship of Island fudge mogul Lou Lambert. In a decision by Lower Township. First Peoples was given a variance to LISA FLIGIER

ease the restaurant's parking plight, as we mentioned last week. This, coupled with the renwewal of the establishment's liquor license, seems to put most of the items in order. Remaining is the issuance of a mercantile license, which will cost the firm $35,000 in back taxes before issuance! Whe«* Despite the variance, many people look for Lou to continue negotiations for the purchase of the popular dining spot. The variance eased the problem in that it permits Enrico's to open, but it didn't solve the problem which is acute Available parking at Enrico's can accommodate approximately one-third of the patrons and does not take into consideration the employes' need for parking It should be an interesting summer for patrons looking for parking. for valets charged with the responsibility of finding parking for patrons who can't, and for anyone in the southern end of the Crest with a vacant parking spot near his or her home The solution seems to be for Lambert to rent his lot "Enrico's former parking i lot ) to the bank to ease its i plight Will he 17 Won't he'.' Only time will tell And. of < course the direction i n ii ii r i 'i I i n . i . 1- : n < 1 negotiations take in

Limbert's offer to purs chase the establishment will play no small part in r the stand off I SINCE ITS construction. Wildwood Convention Hall has borne the brunt of I criticism for failing to make maximum use of the facility during the summer months when thousands of tourists are wandering about looking for something to do This year, the Parking Authority "the administrative body for the Hall ) seems to Ik* making a concentrated effort to res pond to the criticism byopening up fhe hall. July 4th will see the Count Basic- Mavnard Ferguson Orchestras per forming for the public Show time is 8 p.m These outstanding bands will kick off Convention Hall's efforts to utilize the facility fully during the summer seasoon Following the bands and continuing for the duration of the season will be Dancetime USA. DANCETIME USA is a thrice weekly dance, held in Convention Hall and aired on Channel 2 Slated to begin July 14. the dances will be held every Sunday. Tuesday, and Thursdaynights throughout the season.

again. One of the first events to take advantage of these time slots will be a craft show. The Sunsational Summer Craft Show will be held Friday and Saturday evenings. July 26 and 27. Friday's hours will be 5 to 11 p.m. and on Saturday. The National Marbles Championship is over and all seem pleased with the publicity that the event generated This is an outstanding event, capable of tremendous national publicity, and is in neeed of an enthusiastic corporate sponsor to add the finishing touch. WITH MANY corporations lining up behind some of the strangest events, one would think that the mibster's derby would attract sponsorship. It is an established event, mirroring the values of Mom — Apple Pie — and the American Flag. It's Norman Rockwell along the oceanfront and basic grassroots Americana. These competitors are the "Pepsi generation." Come on. guys! One thing that is striking when one views the various elimination rounds and the finals during the Marbles Tournament: There is a distinct shortage of Local mibsters (weird word)

i from Cape May County. It's like living next to Wrigley Field and having no interest in baseball. How about some local organization starting up a local Mibster's Club with mini-tournaments? It would be nice to see some local talent defending the agate honor of our communities. IF YOU HAVE the opportunity. pick up the Julyissue of New Jersey Mon thly It features a two-page photographic spread of the most "wicked, wild, and way-out" rides of the Wildwood Boardwalk. The "spread" was actually the result of resident camera -clicker Doug llunsbrrger. It seems that Hunsberger sent some ex cellent photographs of the rides to New Jersey Mon thly last March They liked what they saw and developed an article revolving around the Hunsberger shots Now. thanks to Hunsberger s diligence and excellent photographic ability, the 100.000 readers of the magazine will gel a peak at which makes our wooden walk so popular And. it didn't cost the cities a penny Hopefully, somewhere in the issue, the Wildwoods will have an ad teljing people -Avhere to write so that they can have a "Ball in the Wildwoods ." SPEAKING OF tourism: at a recent meeting of tourism and promotional officials held at Harrah's. Adrian Heffern. a columnist from Asbury Park, addressed the crowd bystating that New Jerseyshould cease and desist from promoting the tourism industry and stick hyping the State s chemical, agricultural, and used car industries Eg ads. what a man. and he issued his statements in the

State's breadbasket of tourism - Atlamtic City! That is like traveling to Iowa and advocating the Corn Borer as the State Bug! Heffern 's concern seems to be that dur limited resources are being abused and used up by out-of-staters with solely hedonistic designs on life. When these tourists depart from our shores and parks in September, we are stuck with the mess and the costs of repairing the damage caused by our thoughtless "neighbors". ^ There is probably some merit (I said "probably") to Heffern's observations, but tourism remains our state's 2nd largest industry < petrochemicals/pharmaceuticals is first), and the industry is one "heckuva" revenue generator for the State's treasury. IN CAPE MAY County, and the Wildwoods in particular, it is the only game in town. The failure of the state to promote tourism adequately would unquestionably- cast askew the entire economic base of the state and the results would be catastrophic. Again, the Wildwoods would be one of the first and hardest hit with an anti-tourism philosophy. I suppose it was a good thing that the discussion Uiiiif, uidi UIC UIMJUSMUIl

took place in Atlantic City, where the business community has a tendency to place things in proper perspective. Had the meeting been held at Neil's over a bowl of his unequalled Clam Chowder. I am afraid that the "rack" at Dracula's Castle would be pressed into practical application. I'LL CLOSE with three memorable dates to remember. Don't forget that it is the 75th Anniversary of the Borough of Wildwood Crest ; plan to attend a few of the manyevents slated in recognition of the event It is also the 209th anniversary of the Battle of Turtle Gut (more on that next week > . and it is Bob Polis' 40th Birthday Of the three. Bob's birthday will probably leave the longest lasting impression upon those who attended his Birthday Bash held at Duffinetti's restaurant "Over the hill" and through the woods ... " has now taken a new meaning for Bob Polis and Jim Collins as they sit around at their respective motels discussing what it was like when they were in their 30s!
