I. * < ', editorials & comments Super September If you thought the shore was great in the summer, you should make plans for a visit during the fall. City Public Relations Director Mark Softer and resort cheerleader Clint Campbell like to talk about "super September" and October being "twice as nice," and their words ring out more than a slogan, they signify the absolute truth. There is probably nothing more strikingly beautiful or relaxing than a day on Ocean City's beaches in the fall. The air has a crisp, clear smell and feel and only enhances the warmth of me sun and the surf, particularly this year, holds on to its August balmy temperatures. For the foliage lovers, a trip to the shore in the fall doesn't preclude the opportunity to view spectacular colors ra changing leaves. All along the Garden State Parkway are in- numerable varietiesof trees to provide every hue of nature's fall coloring book. And, once on shore, the visitor has the opportunity to savor every ad- wnHao of a seashore vacation with none of the hassle that sometimes accompanies a summer trek to the sandy beaches. Accommodations are less expensive and easier to find; the shopping is leisurely and there are bargains galore; thanks to Soifer's fall package plans there is still a bounty of free entertainment, and, best of all, there is always the background music of a rolling surf and singing gulls. A case of pride Tracing one's ancestry Obey the law It would appear that the Upper Township Committee has once again violated portions of the Open Public Meetings Act, better known as the sunshine law. Because of a difficulty that arose with a paving contractor, the committee felt a need to hold a special meeting on Wednesday, August 30, with the individual involved. Note was made at the regular meeting of Monday, August 28, but the committee followed none of the requirements of the sunshine law for calling a special meeting; that is, no newspaper was notified, no notice was placed on the township hall bulletin board and no resolution calling for the meeting was passed. The fact that no formal action was taken at the special meeting does not mitigate the fact that basic requirements of the Open Public Meetings Act are apparently disregarded by the township committee despite the fact that larger communities seem to have no difficulty-coofonDing with: the< thrce- year-oM state lav*. .:. u-: •: . • >. ".' And, there is no guarantee that no formal action was taken only because a Sentinel-Ledger reporter decided to attend the gathering. At least two violations alleged by the Sentinel-Ledger in the spring of this year were confirmed by Cape May County Prosecutor Donald R. Charles Jr. While Charles decided not to take formal action against the three committeemen because, he said, there was no criminal intent, he did instruct Solicitor James Waldron to counsel the committee on its obligations under the sunshine law to insure that further indiscretions were not made. Charles is also investigating the latest allegation. Waldron said he believes the fact that announcement of the proposed meeting was made at the regular meeting was enough to fulfill the requirements of the sunshine law. But, as a former assistant county prosecutor and current prosecutor in both Upper Township and Ocean City, he ahoufd know that there are reasons behind specific legal requirements of S verning bodies and the fact that he ids them difficult does not make them any less necessary to follow. Other governing bodies have become meticulous in their adherence to the amafaine law, regardk*s of how insignificant some of its requirements may seem to particular persons on the There is no reason the citizens of Upper Township should not expect from their governing body equal care for both the letter and spirit of the sunshine law.

Wlm- berg with a request tt be reprinted here. Dear Mayor Wimberg: For several years now my family and I have taken our vacation in Ocean City and I make several trips to Ocean CUy during the year. To write and state that we are never coming back again would not be the truth. However, I do have a complaint Last winter we purchased a 14-foot Hobte Cat sailboat and trailered tt all the way from Connecticut, at ^nsMnr^N* extra expense, with the an- ticipation of sailing It off the' Ocean City beach. We ducovered to our dismay that one must have a license costing ITS, which everyone cannot get because the number of licenses is restricted to 79. IreattsafuDy the need to control aB phases of beach use. Uuwovet, if Ocean Ctty i» to continue to "tar* vWtora" then tt should atom obvious that on aspects of a family vacation abeold bo available, flomo poepjo Hko to swim, ethics to SMB basaev others to sail, aadwaw of its seem a great deal fairer if Ocean' City would make available, at reasonable cost, a temporary two or three-week license for use at all —Ming beaches. During our two-week stay in July, we used Atlantic Av. beach. There were approximately eight catamarans ntrfcfd on >ttJt beach aT **, during that time, only two of the boats were used, one of them twice, and the other Just once. We were told that some of the licenses were sold to people who do not even own boats. Everyone in my family was very up*a beumae we could only sail our boat in the bay at Somera Point and tt nearly rained our vacation. Since the tourists who come to Ocean City are your biggest industry, I would think "that these peoples' needs and requirements for their great family vacation should be uppermost in the minds of Ocean City officials. As I stated before, I fully realize the need tor controls, but the needs of your biggest industry are of knportance also. I would even be bold enough to suggest that if atemporaryucenseweremade available that you would probably not have a glut of boats crowding the beaches Wedbcovered also that those who seem to complain about the boats the loudest are those very people who have one of the 78 pmmwntn* w^fwf atw< are Jealously guarding their privilege. We would have been happy Just being able to sail off the beach sod would not have considered not being able to have it on the beach any 1m- DQfluJQQ* J.H.Voorvaart Letter policy The Sentinel-Ledger en- courages its readers to ex- press their views on this page.

Visit to Resorts International shatters illusions : By TIM FAHERTY , Yeah, I know I said I wasnt going to go yet. I know I said I was going to ,". wait until the novelty wore off ... and the crowds died down. But I /.broke down last weekend and / visited the Resorts In- ternational casino. ~ The reason I haven't gone -.earlier is that I am not a ', gambler. I don't even reach . into a cookie Jar in the dark. " Although I don't think of myself as unlucky, my luck tends to '„ pay off in little things, (i.e. , finding a parking place; having .' two of the same color socks on) and not in the big windfalls. .. Still, I was curious. Monte , Carlo called. Besides, I had grown up watching Phil Silvers ' play the kingof the Ugh rollers, ' Sgt. Ernie Bilko, on television. ', It seemed horribly ap- . propriate that we drove to the casino over streets that had ' given their names to that most 'popular of all games of chance :. — Monopoly. I felt slightly , uneasy as I remembered how severely I had been trounced in my last Monopoly game (due to 7 the Community Chest card 'around the corner from the »/ casino, and we, who were about .to play Jet-setters pumping coins above our means, debated whether or not we could get by without putting a quarter in the .'.meter. It was Just after dusk on a Saturday night when we ap- proached the casino. There were no long lines outside, but we did notice some expensive • looking cars being parked for their owners by wheel - screeching adolescents. A sign at the door informed us that since it was after 6 pjn., Jackets were required. Naturally, we had come prepared. But the sign said nothing about shoes being required. And, you guessed it, one of our party, Dan, was wearing a pair of open-toed plastic sandals (you know, the kind that are even em- barrassing on the beach). Although we suspected at the time that Dan had come ill- prepared to gamble, we later learned his choice of footwear had much thought behind it. He wore open-toed shoes to help him'count his winnings. As meritorious as this forethought was, it was unnecessary. The way Dan's luck turned out, if he had worn shoes, he probably would have lost them anyway. I'm not sura what I expected. Tuxedos, marble pillars, glittering matrons carrying —" " •••-••"- IfliV —- ML. T ir A Frahk Sinatra and Princess Grace of Monaco. But whatever cliches I had expected to find at the casino were not there. Instead, there was the same mixture of people: housewives, collegiates, hardbats, executives, the rich, the poor, and the undecided, that you might expect to see if your neighborhood supermarket had a sale on Rolls Royce mufflers and Laverne and Shirley posters at the same time. There were no overhanging balconies or monstrous chandeliers. Resorts appears to be the Howard Johnsons of casinos. But the floor was crowded, and the excitement of people losing money was in the air. like most of the people there, I had come to play the slot machines and watch the more adventurous play blackjack, craps and bacarat The major benefit of the opening of other casinos will be that you wont have to stand in line anymore to S at the accent one-arm Slot machines are an easy entrance to gambling. After all, aren't we all used to pumping coins into vending machines without getting anything hi return (orwithour soda coming down before our cup)? There is something thrilling about the thought that your next quarter might be theooe to win you a fortune. And the machines are geared to let you win a few coins Just often enough to keep you going. There are big winners, though. A woman annoyingly close to us walked off with $400. Un- fortunately, we only managed to add our quarters to the three .quarters of a million dollars that the casino rakes in every day. It was exciting, and we managed to keep our losses to a minimum, but I guess I Just have no class. I still prefer pinball. Wildlife group to appeal forestry budget ruling Despite a legal setback, the National vmfife Federation win continue its fight to force the Carter Administration to explain why it has cut the U.S. Forest Service's budget request by 28 percent. NWF has announced tt will appeal a ruling by VS. District Judge Gerhard A. Gesell, in Washington, D.C, dismissing its suit against President Carter and the Office of Management «nd Budget. The suit, filed in June, 1978, charged that the Ad- Renewable Resources Planning Act (RPA) whea tt cut the Forest Service's 187B budget from $2.4 billion to $1.8 billion. According to NWF, the nation's largest citizen conservation group, the law requires the Administration to explain whether its proposed budget would carry out Forest Service policies already set by Congress, and if not, to give the reasons for requesting less money. In his decision. Judge Gesell agreed that the budget request failed to disclose the extent to which the budgetacnieved RPA goals. However, since this information was supplied to Congress during hearings earlier this year, the Judge ruledthat no further disclosure was required. As to NWF's •charge that the Administration' < (afledio explain why the budget ' was cut; Judge" Gesell said mat the law's ^'ambiguity and uncertainty" prevented him from ordering President Carter to issue a special statement of explanation. Judge Gesell noted in' his ruling that "Congress may well President more accountable for the imbalanced and short- sighted priorities of the 1979 Forest Service budget." The Administration is seeking 88 percent of the Forest Service's request for timber cutting, but only 84 percent of the agency's request for wildlife, and only 80 percent for reforestation and timber stand Improvement, Klrby said.

I Editor. Sentinel-Ledger: In . the spring I wrote and complained about the bicycle ' situation in Ocean City, and you kindly published my letter. I : know, not with delight you also printed Ms. Hogan's letter about the same situation with bicycles on the pavements. My letter complained of them on the boardwalk from 15th to 23rd sts. where there is no sign of police enforcement. Threeyears ago I moved from nth and .. Ocean Av. because I was afraid to try to get to the boardwalk for these peats on the •pavement. Now I live on the beach at 20th St. and cannot take a walk on the boardwalk •lor these selfish people who •monopolize the walk. I am dLsgusted with the lack of en- fcrcement of the law in this town. The parade of people to 'the beach In the evening with their dogs for toilet use at 20th St. is revolting. ; This holier than tfaou attitude •of the laws is so stupid, to find so drastically the hard-working food store owners for selling fly jwatters and brkkettes for .barbeques on Sunday, fry •swatters are necessary items in -this town any day of toe week, and then let drug offenders off en probation, does not make se A police officer stationed "•t 30th 8L could collect for this hungry city a tidy of fines on bicyclists and telephone in July and part of August. If the city requests guests to provide toilet facilities for their employees free, why can't they protect the cooperating visitors with safety to walk and sanitation of the streets and beach with the money they collect by enforcing the laws they have on the books. Mrs. John Toram Ocean City CLIP&SAVEl I Kabat defense was unwarranted I I I I lam amused oy the fact that fallowed the beach tag gtts, at ; of their the Ufagwros on the tth *, to oat my bathroom Editor, Sentinel-Ledger: In regards to your remarks against Mr. Trofa and what he had to say about Mr. Kabat and your unwarranted defense of Mr. Kabat, I would like to put the record straight. Mr. Kabat has not delivered what he proposed to date. There is no $3)00,000 for the rfirn Ti—\vn'f share of the new addition. Mr. Heist publicly said this at a meeting approximately four weeks ago when I questioned the bond issue. Mr. Heist told me publicly maybe they have $160,000 pledged (no guarantee of any kTnd)7 ' Mr. Kabat in the tygtnpi^g said, "The center would not cost the people of Ocean City any tax monies but would be- self-sustaining." Who is he kidding? Now he wants $900,000 to save $43,000 when he does not have the fMi'tonai $200,000 needed for tins addition to the center. Is be going to ask later for additional funds to m *Kf up what they dont have now? If be cannot raise $100,000 now, bow does be expect to pay the $300,000 back? The mathematics Just do not agree. Accordtog to your editorial I abn must have bad taste but in this case kt Mr. Kabat pot $W,000 m cold cash to front of fee council and than lot tfasm dedde-CmUbflityletsi is right. Dedication In this case to showing the people the facta in cash, not promises. Let's put it on the ballot in November and let the people decide whether or not to guarantee this sizable SIBB. Let's flndout how popular this project is. One other question. One million dollars plus has been appropriated in federal funds or public funds. The original Idea was to charge dues for the use of the facilities. I believe no one can be turned away whether they pay dues or not as this is a public building and owned by the people. Harry T.McIn tyre Ocean City, N.J. Better planning needed Editor, Sentinel-Ledger: rd Uke to add to the letter criticizing the planning board in its efforts to destroy Ocean aty. Rather than being more restrictive, the new regulations are making things worse than ever. Duplexes are mushrooming ail over the dty without the prescribed two parking spaces per unit. The plan"t"g board is causing the two most serious problems, namely the lack of parking spaces and a glut of apartment units, to become an absolute threat to the future of Ocean Ctty. Must it wait until properties start t^wg ffrffyryl before ks members come to then* s? All the inaredients will soon be available for an economic disaster. Gladys Condon Upper Darby, Pa. Resort lover Editor, Sentinel-Ledger: I read and enjoyed so much the poem in your paper about "the ocean." I saved it to take home to show to others. It's a real pleasure to visit here with my daughter, husband and children. The crowds are well behaved and courteous. It's a special treat to vacation where the Sabbath is observed. This was my first visit here and a happy one. NolaMilam Charleston, W.Va. UJ < vt o9 O.
