ELECTION,<br />
PREVIEW<br />
In Somers Point<br />
Mell declares<br />
his candidacy<br />
By KATHLEEN BYRNES<br />
SOMERS POINT - Two<br />
people are now in the race for<br />
the vacant at-large council seat<br />
here with the announcement<br />
this week by Carl MeU <strong>of</strong> 7 E.<br />
Village Dr. as the Democratic<br />
candidate.<br />
Mdl joins the Somers Point<br />
Republican Club's candidate,<br />
Councilwoman Marion<br />
Friedberg in the race.<br />
However, it is very likely there<br />
will be other candidates for the<br />
unexpired two-year term made<br />
vacant by the resignation <strong>of</strong><br />
Councilman Joseph O'Hara in<br />
early August.<br />
MeU enters the race with the<br />
support <strong>of</strong> the Democratic<br />
county committee. Christopher<br />
Rigby, president <strong>of</strong> the Somers<br />
Point Democratic League, said<br />
(he committee talked to several<br />
people about running but<br />
"decided on him because he<br />
seemed to be the most qualified<br />
person." Rigby added, "MeU is<br />
an independent thinker who<br />
won't let the party tell him how<br />
to vote on a particular issue."<br />
MeU admitted he has "not<br />
been active in politics in the<br />
city in one sense but has been<br />
involved in the city through<br />
community activities like the<br />
youth center and little league.<br />
A resident <strong>of</strong> Pennsylvania<br />
prior to his move here 10 years<br />
ago, he explained he never<br />
sought political <strong>of</strong>fice before<br />
because his. work in the construction<br />
business kept him too<br />
busy. Now that bis four children<br />
are grown and his work<br />
schedule is different, he feds he<br />
has the time to devote to the<br />
job.<br />
"I'm interested in seeing<br />
everyone treated properly,"<br />
Mell said but added, "I'm not<br />
making any promises; I'U Just<br />
call the balls and the strikes aa<br />
they cross the plate." MeU<br />
stressed he would "vote on my<br />
own conscience." He said he'll<br />
take other people's recommendations,<br />
weigh them and<br />
then decide.<br />
His opposition, Councilwoman<br />
Marlon Friedberg,<br />
was sworn in last week to flU in<br />
O'Hara's vacancy until the<br />
November election. The winner<br />
<strong>of</strong> the election will take <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
immediately.<br />
Others in the coundl race are<br />
Kathleen (Kay) Dewees,<br />
representing the Somers Point<br />
Republican League, and<br />
Democrat James H. Smith,<br />
both <strong>of</strong> the first ward vying for<br />
Councilman Albert Clunn's<br />
seat.<br />
Clunn lost in the primary<br />
race to Dewees and although he<br />
cannot run for coundl in the<br />
first ward, he could run for the<br />
at-large vacancy. However, he<br />
said last week he doubted he<br />
would run.<br />
In the second ward, Somers<br />
Point Republican League<br />
candidate William Glancey and<br />
Democrat Charles G. Pancoast<br />
will face <strong>of</strong>f for Councilman<br />
Jack Murray's scat.<br />
Murray lost in the primary to<br />
Glancey but has stated he wiU<br />
. not run for the at-large poajMoa.<br />
Interested residents <strong>of</strong><br />
Somers Point have until October<br />
to file for the at-Urge<br />
position on coundl.<br />
