Each year we have dedicated space in this column to implore summer residents to assess their kids' skill in operating a bike. This year, before July 1. we were almost permanently disabled by a teenager speeding on the sidewalk as we alighted i used lodsely of course) from the car; had an approximate 10-year-old veer across our car's path at midday; and when driving to Avaion, passed two little kids teetering on bikes on Ocean Drive at dusk. The last two should have been supervised in private driveways, let alone wobbling on a county road in failing light. You guys are down here for a relaxed vacation. Some of us live here and pay for an excellent factotem to maintain order and safety. Don't condemn us to a guilt neurosis for the rest of our lives or commit yourselves to life-long indebtedness because your child hasn't been taught rules of-the-road for cyclists. If you don't care enough to be vigilant about your kids, don't affix blame io those of us who do. W O W E E ! W II E N glamorous Da»a (perfect 10) Kull throws an opening she doesn't mess around. We got to her Avaion Honda agency at Exit 13 of Garden State Pkwy. just in time to watch the flagpole sitter climb to his perch, then we were too scared to watch He got there safely but we worried for his safety in the electric storm which came up when we reached home later By luck we chatted with George Magnavila of Villas George was selling chances for a Wildwood String Band Raffle He told us proudly I am the oldest flagpole sitter in the county I spent many years doing that and I offered to help this man because it's his first time." George said the sitter's last name was Danser but didn't know his first He also told us that he guessed "Danser is going crazy with those balloons popping. a crack or a pop is your first warning and it's what you listen for " DANA THOUGHT of everything. There were 1.000 hot dogs and 1.500 hamburgers: all the coke anyone wanted; free balloons and chances for a money-making machine which paid off $500 hourly and Cabbage Patch Dolls. Big Bird from the Eagles and the Phillies Phanatic were signing autographs: Senator Bill Hughes was due to cut the ribbon; and you name it. it was there including easy access . plenty of parking and safe exits Instead of the magnificent American Flag which usually flys above the showroom, a dirigibleshaped balloon was aloft. We assumed the Ensign was put aside, temporarily, to make it safe for the flagpole sitter Not so — we were told vandals cut and burned ropes securing the flag, then stole it. We hope legislation will swiftly be enacted to impose strict penalties on perpetrators of such a desecration, be

e they committed by juvenile deliquents, up to age 45 r drooling years, or misguidr ed adults. , • • • SOME P E O P L E recognized (we hope not i too many), that we were a ; fledgling reporter at the I onset. We assiduously have ) turned down requests to be P.R. officer for many • organizations, fearing we t might do civic enterpirses ; a disservice. Unfortunate- ; ly. we have suffered unrei quited love for Diller and Fisher's V.P., R. Jack Fitz- ► Patrick, for years. His > knockout spouse. Pat. is unaware of our wishful-thinking-only commitment. ; Fact that it's one-sided is I irrelevant. Also, she ; disregards the fact this writer is only 40 years older. Never underestimate your oppoi nent: that's what Gen. Patton and Napoleon said. We have results of the July 4th S.H celebration contest, but no typing skills. Watch us next week for final results. Everything was stupendous on Thursday. STONE HARBOR has been getting much lineage in news media recently. Philadelphia magazine (July. '85 issue) mentions it casually on page 94 in an article by Mike Mallowe: then on pg. 85 Rill Kent gives Avalon/Stone Harbor greater attention. He describes Stone Harbor as "more commercial with a few more restaurants, bars and shops" "Stone Harbor has the toniest shopping district ... Lingering here is a relief " "Avaion has a slightly wild section of dune growth suitable for romance." Largest space is devoted to the Shelter Haven Motel and its newest nightclub, louche'. "It boasts an openair bay - view deck, backgammon, a dance floor, and a free happy hour open until 2 a m Dress Fashionably." Can anyone who remembers Mike Lennon imagine him reading that? AN ARTICLE headline on page I The Philadelphia Inquirer (July 4) by James Asher may not have delighted realtors because the headline reads "Glut of unrented homes at shore is forcing owners to reduce rates" but Sea Isle City bore focus of the spotlight asnd there were words of encouragement for local residents: "Zoning restrictions that have limited the construction of multi-unit duplexes and condominiums in Stone Harbor also have kept growth in construction of new rental property at a more modest pace than in some other communities." Incidentally. the captian accompanying the page l photo was misleading — it mentions Avaion but it's another resort that's pictured. Stone Harbor's answer to Sophie Tucker. Sara Brady, delighted her friends by coming through eye surgery so beautifully. Sara's was not your garden-variety routine cataract removal, jshe had that some time ago. it could better be described as the calculated-risk type and Sara made the gutsy deci-

sion to go ahead. We just talked to her daughter. Pat Horan. who has been staying with her. She said, "We are just praying the improvement is permanent." The Good Lord's message center must be overloaded ; we know loads of people who are working on it with them. FISH STORIES are drifting in. Two we can verify are: Spiro Kokonos, John Halbert and others aboard Craig Otton's Bahama Mama boated several blue ' sharks on one expedition. They were using mackerel for bait and 50-lb. test line and 50-lb. glass rods. One of the sharks was almost an 8-footer. Fourteen-year-old Kevin Scheidy. son of Nancy and Tom Scheidy of Newark, Del., and grandson of the Andrew Woolerys of S.H. inherited his Waltonesque ability. Using 15-lb. test line with mackerel for bait, he landed a 14-lb. blue from the bulkhead. We've been told the weather hasn't been right yet but after watching Paul Ross clean a goodly catch daily, we don't believe it. Gracine McMenamy, Marcelle del.aurentis and moi went to the quilting exhibition at Wetlands Institue July 1. We hope you didn't miss it. Finished quilts provoked envy on the part of non-needlers. TWO WERE created by great buddy Helen Down of 7th Street. One. with a white background, had blossoms cut from the blouse of an 1825 gown of an ancestor Helen still has the skirt and wears it for special occasions. The other is made from red squares bought by her grandmother, for about a penny apiece, to teach her to sew a fine seam and Keep me out of mischief " She has been working on this quilt for 70 years. Another of her hobbies is hooking rugs — they're works of art too. Marion Glaspey does silk screening for squares she designs She masterminded the one raffled off last year for the benefit of the institute and the one for this summer s raffle is 90 percent finished, with chances selling faster than ice cream at Springer's. Elsie Snyder had answers for all our questions about Fran Maher's quilt depicting sailboats on a tranquil sea There was also a doll collection gathered by world travelers and hand-sewn doll clothes. Cabbage Patch adoptees were not forgotten, either. Clown and witches' costumes were available, among other items, so your Cabbage Grandchild will be well outfitted for next Halloween. We think the school uniforms created for these "kids" is the height of inanity, but what do grandmothers know'' Civic Meeting VILLAS — The regular meeting of the Villas Civic Club will he held l p.m. Saturday.
