VILLAGE GREENE Civic Association will meet Oct. 8. at 1:30 p.m., in the Kiwanis Club on Beach Avenue. The association is spon soring a shopping trip to the Echelon Mall and Philadelphia on Oct. 22. The cost will be $7 and paid reservations will be accepted at the meeting. For details, contact Catherine McGill. 884-2395. or Dorothy Buchianicao, 886-2644. THE CITY AND the Greater Cape May Chamber of Commerce have announced the start of a drive to raise $10,000 for the 1986 Fourth of July fireworks display. The sum will cover the cost of the display plus insurance. "In 1986 we intend to have the biggest, and best controlled and conducted event," said Carin Fedderman. chamber president. Fedderman said the city and the chamber will work with Congress Hall on its Fourth of July picinic and band concert that will be held on the lawn of the famous hostelry. The fireworks celebration will be held on the beach as in previous years. The early announcement of the fund raising effort is an attempt to avoid pro- , blems that almost led to canceling the 1985 event ! As a result of difficulty in raising the money, the

display was postponed until July 6. Fedderman urges contributions to the event be sent to: Mrs. Shirley Stiles, chairperson, P.O. Box 109, Cape May. N.J., 08204. OCTOBER MAY BE the month of bright blue skies and applies, but it is also the month to apply to the state Division of Taxation for homestead rebates. Anyone who wons a property and lives in it as his principal residence is eligible for the rebates which last year in the city amounted to $172.88. The amount varies from community to community based on certain formulas. City Tax Assossor John T. Dollinger said those who have received rebates in the past will probably receive applications in the mail. Persons who haven't received the applications, or who purchased homes prior to Oct. 1, and haven't gotten rebates in the past, can obtain the forms from Dollinger in City Hall. 643 Washington St. But Dollinger requests persons not ask him for the forms before Oct. 15 when he expects to receive them. Forms must be completed and returned to the state by Dec. 1, Dollinger said. Persons over 65 who can product proof of their age. can qualify for an additional $50. Dollinger said. Those applying for the rebates should not expect to receive an amount higher than the taxes they -I pay on their property. Dollinger said. And persons who owe real estate taxes can expect to have the amount owed deducted from their rebates. JAY AND MARIANNE Schatz, proprietors of The Abbey, a Victorian-era inn at Columbia Avenue and Gurney Street, were among the many evacuees of the city during last week's hurricane. The couple rode out the storm in Huntington Valley. Pa. as guests of relatives of Tom and Sue Carroll, proprietors of The Mainstay, another of the city's popular bed and breakfast inns. "It was windier up there than it was here," said Jay Schatz. "It looked like the whole world was in motion. Two-hundred -year -old trees were swaying." The Schatzes moved all of the furniture on the first floor of The Abbey to the second floor as a precaution against flooding. "Fortunately, we got no water in the house, but we got a yard full of debris," said Schatz A huge sycamore tree 3 standing in front of the Queen Victoria guest house on Ocean Street blew over during the storm, narrowly missing The Heirloom, a guest house operated by Marion Taylor across the street. In addition to tearing up a section of the sidewalk, the old tree damaged a section of iron fence. PLANNING BOARD member James M.

Monaghan heeded the call to evacuate the city, and spent the duration of the storm with is parents in Rio Grande. But Monaghan was miffed when prevented from returning to his house early on Friday. "I have to wonder of people's individual rights have been taken away from them," Monaghan said. "I understand there was plenty of water in town, but I could have gotten away with staying in my area because it just doesn't flood," he said. Monaghan said he also could have done without the "sensationalism" that the electronic media resorted to in describing the storm. "It was ridiculus and uncalled for," he said. "There was no problem in my area whatsoever. We didn't have a tree come doWn, or a limb." "I FEEL HAPPIER than I ever felt right now," replied Tom Carroll when reached by telephone after the storm. "I feel the potential of this storm could have devastated Cape May," said Carroll. "And these old houses are not rebuildable." The Mainstay, the bed and breakfast inn that Carroll and his wife, Sue, run on Columbia Avenue, escaped storm damage. The Carrolls answered the question, do guest house owners ever go to other guest houses, by leading a delegation of owners to the Duke of Windsor, on Washington Street. "We figured it was high and dry on Washington Street," said Carroll. "But then I questioned the judgment of staying in town and we decided to head to my aunt and uncle in Huntingdon Valley." The Carrolls bypassed storm emergency shelters because they had no provision for pets. Both the Carrolls and the Schatzes took their pet cats with them as they drove out of the city. HERMAN AND SALLY Hirsh of Hughes Street took all the suggested precautions — filling bathtubs with water, taping windows, and closing shutters

— and stayed put during the hurricane. "We never get water here because we are above sea level," said Mrs. Hirsh. "Nobody ever evaduates our street." Since their house was built in 1868, Mrs. Hirsh said she and her husband felt "that as old as those houses are, they have survived more than this little blow. "We've been here since the 1962 storm, and I was living in a place on the beachfront in the 1944 storm which was 10 times worse then this," Mrs. Hirsh said. To pass the time, the couple considered trying to organize a party, but dro|>ped the idea. "We didn't even have a party," she said. "We couldn't find enough people, They were all busy." The Hirshes' pets, "Dorian Gray," a Maine coon cat, and "Bogie," a bull mastiff, were not as nonchalant. "Bogie refused to go out when it was raining. We had to push him out," said Mrs. Hirsh. "And Dorian stayed up on the stairwell during the storm. We figured that must be the safest place in the house." Mrs. Hirsh said she and her husband "really can't praise the people who worked during the storm enough. "Jerry Inderwies (assistant superintendent of public works) and his crew, and the police and the firemen were out working 24 hours a day, and I think that's terrific," she said.
