Over the past few dayi<br />

fishing has improved somewhat<br />

with weakfish, blues, snappers<br />

and sea bass being caught.<br />

Offshore there are blues<br />

down at the Five Fathom Bank,<br />

Avalon Shoals and the A.C.<br />

Ridge. Aa the water tem«<br />

perature drops look for bigger<br />

blues to show up in larger<br />

numbers<br />

Weakfish action has been<br />

spotty with some boats filling<br />

the big boxes while others work<br />

all day for three or six fish. The<br />

fishermen having the best luck<br />

have been using top and bottom<br />

rip with weakfish pearls, plain<br />

nooks or the weakfish flasher<br />

rig with strips <strong>of</strong> squid for bait.<br />

Surf fishing has been holding<br />

up well with good catches <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> Hifji School will<br />

open its <strong>1974</strong> Cape-Atlantic<br />

League season Saturday<br />

against St. Joseph <strong>of</strong> Ham.<br />

monton, a school that has n«ver<br />

lost a CAL football game<br />

Actually the Wildcats (10)<br />

will only he playing their<br />

second loop game this week<br />

lince this ii their first season in<br />

the league, St. Joseph was part<br />

<strong>of</strong> the -GAL on a limited basis<br />

last season (see Sporta Comer)<br />

but thi WildcaU are eligible for<br />

the crown this year.<br />

Coach Chuck Donahue, In his<br />

first season as head coach, saw<br />

the Wildcats handle Wlldwood<br />

with relative ease last Saturday<br />

en route to a ffl-B victory. Senior<br />

fullback Anthony DeMnreo, a<br />

...concentrating<br />

Wildcats<br />

on<br />

starter last year, scored all<br />

three <strong>of</strong> the St. Joseph touch,<br />

downs last weekend. DeMaroo,<br />

who gained 88 yards in 17<br />

carries, went over from seven<br />

yards out in the first period, two<br />

yards out in the second quarter<br />

and three yards out in the third<br />

period. St. Joseph had 20 first<br />

downs in the game, ]« <strong>of</strong> them<br />

on the ground.<br />

The Wildcats have a strong<br />

<strong>of</strong>fensive line, u shown by their<br />

good showing <strong>of</strong> their running<br />

pmi last week. Six-four senior<br />

center Nick Smersky. who<br />

carries 235 pounds, joins<br />

veteran tackles Pat Carletti (5-<br />

Wildcats are newest CAL entry<br />

The Cape-Atlantic League<br />

started back in 1949 ai a six<br />

team eonferaice <strong>of</strong> schooli<br />

from Cape May and Atlantic<br />

Counties, Over the yeari the<br />

scholastic sports forum has<br />

developed into a nine-team<br />

group featuring Jchools from<br />

the two original counties plus<br />

Cumberland County, In fact, it<br />

should be rallied the Cum<br />

Cape-Atlantic League to be<br />

more accurate.<br />

<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> won the first three<br />

league championihips,<br />

defeating Middle Township,<br />

Cape May, Hammonton and<br />

Egg Harbor High Schools, The<br />

Raiders won again in IMS and<br />

1957.<br />

In 1960 Egg Harbor High<br />

School was closed, lending its<br />

studtnti to the new Oakcrest<br />

Regional, and dropping the<br />

CAL back to five teams. In 1981,<br />

however, two new schools were<br />

admitted. Pleasantville,<br />

previously playing independent<br />

ball, came aboard along with<br />

the brand new Mainland<br />

Regional High School. Cape<br />

May High School was closed<br />

that same year and the new<br />

Lower Capt May Regional took<br />

over its league spot.<br />

Mainland outgrew the league<br />

by Dav<br />

caslonal kingfish being<br />

reported. Most <strong>of</strong> these fish are<br />

being caught on enrk rigs with<br />

mullet, squid or bloodworm for<br />

bait. Striper fishing in the surf<br />

should pick up any day now so it<br />

is well worth the time to take a<br />

plug such as creek chubs, red<br />

fins, atoms or a Stan Glbbi and<br />

fish for these stripers,<br />

In the back bay most <strong>of</strong> the<br />

action it with wMkfiih,<br />

kingfish, sea bass and taug<br />

(slippery baai) showing up<br />

around the bridge piling. We<br />

also have heard reports <strong>of</strong> a few<br />

winter flounder moving in over<br />

the past couple <strong>of</strong> days. The<br />

bait to use in the back bay is<br />

squid, bloodworm or clam.<br />

Until next week, Good<br />

Fishing.<br />

by 1968 and dropped Out, Joining<br />

the new South Jersey Conference<br />

Not until last season<br />

wai a new football school admitted<br />

to the league. The new<br />

Hyena Regional started CAL<br />

play in 1973 and, although St.<br />

Joseph <strong>of</strong> Hammonton was an<br />

<strong>of</strong>ficial league member, the<br />

Wildcats couldn't find room on<br />

everyone's football schedule<br />

last year and were therefore<br />

not eligible.<br />

Last Saturday St. Joseph<br />

played its first <strong>of</strong>ficial ape-<br />

Atlantic League football game.<br />

The Wildcats defeated Wildwood,<br />

22-6, i assume a very<br />

early positiuii atop the CAL.<br />

This Saturday the Joeys will<br />

visit Recreation Center field for<br />

the very fir« time and attempt<br />

to maintain the league lead.<br />

Coach Chuck Donahue, who<br />

lerved as an assistant for three<br />

years before taking over this<br />

season, feels the change in<br />

stature has meant a great deal<br />

to his players, "This will be the<br />

first season that St. Joseph can<br />

win a football championship.<br />

We have had the mythical <strong>City</strong><br />

Title between our school and<br />

Hammonton High but this<br />

season we can win a longstanding,<br />

respectable league.<br />

Our boys know that and they<br />

are getting more excited each<br />

day"<br />

The Wildcats have prided<br />

themselves on being the<br />

smallest school in New jersey<br />

that fields a football team. Now<br />

they have the added pride <strong>of</strong><br />

competing for their very first<br />

championship.<br />

We will welcome them to the<br />

league Saturday morning Vou<br />

are invited to join us.<br />

We stand corrected. In this<br />

space last Thursday we<br />

casually described the importance<br />

<strong>of</strong> team finish in a<br />

cross country meet by saying<br />

that even if your team sweeps<br />

the first three positions you<br />

can't conn the victory until<br />

yoiff other two runners cross<br />

the finish line.<br />

If your team wins the first<br />

three positions in a cross<br />

country meet they will<br />

mathematically clinch the<br />

meet. The reason has<br />

something to do with a limit<br />

being placed on the number <strong>of</strong><br />

opposing runners you can<br />

misplace It is a little too involved<br />

to explain here.<br />

Take my word for it. When<br />

you win the first mree spots,<br />

you win the meet. Dave Duncan<br />

<strong>of</strong>fered the correct information<br />

and he should know, Dave has<br />

to think about something while<br />

he's running across the country<br />

side!<br />

Speaking <strong>of</strong> cross country.<br />

Raider coach Jim Harris<br />

missed last Friday's meet due<br />

to the death <strong>of</strong> his father, Phil<br />

Birnbaum was on hand to<br />

supervise in Harris' absence.<br />

We know that all members <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> sports community<br />

will join us in expressing<br />

our pr<strong>of</strong>ound eympathiM<br />

Mistakes are found<br />

in city assessments<br />

by Chuck Thompson<br />

In the year ending in<br />

December, 1WS, <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

reeeivtd almost S8 million in<br />

property taxes from ownen <strong>of</strong><br />

more than 12,000 properties.<br />

Howevtr, the two i^ides<br />

responsible for overseeing the<br />

proper assessment <strong>of</strong> these<br />

propertiei art raluFtant or<br />

unable to pinpoint reewUy<br />

discovered inequjtjet in the<br />

property tax syitem in Oaan<br />

<strong>City</strong>,<br />

In 1972 a revaluation for all <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> was performed by<br />

D. Allen Stretch Jr., • local<br />

realtor, in an effort to bring<br />

current th» records <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> Tax Assessor's<br />

Office,<br />

However, according to<br />

Lawrence T. Benrdelli,<br />

secretary to the Cape May<br />

County Board <strong>of</strong> Taxation,<br />

"because <strong>of</strong> errori" discovered<br />

during the course <strong>of</strong> "bearings<br />

last year," the <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> Tax<br />

A.s.ses»or was "ordered" to<br />

review "the entire land valia<br />

set-up as it was done for<br />

revaluation,"<br />

This revaluation prompted a<br />

local resident to register a<br />

complaint with the Tax<br />

Assessor*! <strong>of</strong>fice with a copy <strong>of</strong><br />

his letter sent to the Sentinel<br />

John P. Speidel, whose two<br />

properties have been assessed<br />

an additional $1,195, wai<br />

concerned "not go much in the<br />

new assessment but in the<br />

wastefulness necessitated by<br />

employment <strong>of</strong> personnel to<br />

research and recompute<br />

figures, make up form letters,<br />

mail out notices, etc."<br />

<strong>On</strong> Bmach Rd.<br />

•Hiis increase in assessment<br />

was brought about, Speidel<br />

said, "not by any changes in my<br />

property, but rather through<br />

error, carelessness or ineptitude<br />

on ths parts <strong>of</strong> parties<br />

whom the taxpayers pay to<br />

process such mutters ac<br />

Mirately,"<br />

To investigate Speidel's<br />

charges, <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> Tax<br />

Assessor Charles Chappatte<br />

was contacted A question to<br />

Oiappatte concerning who did<br />

the original revaluation that is<br />

now subject to such an extensive<br />

review elicited the<br />

response, "you're treading on<br />

very dangeroui ground here."<br />

When called back to check<br />

out further the details <strong>of</strong> a form<br />

letter which is being sent to<br />

<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> property owners<br />

whose assessments were found<br />

to be incorrect, Chappatte's<br />

secretary laid that he had "]u«t<br />

this minute stepped out" and<br />

would probably be gone all<br />

afternoon. However, a personal<br />

visit to Chappatte'g <strong>of</strong>fice found<br />

that he was in after all.<br />

<strong>On</strong>e <strong>of</strong> the letters going out <strong>of</strong><br />

Chappatte's <strong>of</strong>fice reads, "The<br />

Cape May County Board <strong>of</strong><br />

Taxation under which this<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice operates has ordered a<br />

re calculation <strong>of</strong> all land<br />

values, not changing the per<br />

front foot value, but to check<br />

the mathematical com<br />

putations "<br />

When asked how many<br />

mistakes this "re-calculation,"<br />

which has being going on "since<br />

February," has uncovered,<br />

Chappatte responded with "oh,<br />

a minimal number." He was<br />

continued on page 16<br />

Zone board tables<br />

beach building plea<br />

An attempt to gat a variance<br />

to allow the building <strong>of</strong> two<br />

single family homes on the<br />

beach was postponed at<br />

Tuesday night's meeting <strong>of</strong> the<br />

zoning board.<br />

Mr, and Mrs. Alfred H.<br />

Williams were represented by<br />

their attorney, John Daniels, in<br />

the attempt Tuesday to get the<br />

necessary approval from the<br />

board to build two single<br />

family, five-bedroom homes on<br />

two lot! at 25 Beach rd.<br />

In order to receive a ruling<br />

tnm the zoning board on a<br />

variance request, a petitioner<br />

mum first be denied a permit<br />

from the building inspector.<br />

Board chairman Fred Tarves<br />

said that the board never<br />

received the requisite denial<br />

from building inspector Walter<br />

Beddow, Daniels, however, told<br />

Tarves that he has had to<br />

petition Beddow for a permit<br />

three times.<br />

Hie first Urns, according to<br />

Daniels, the Williams couple<br />

was turned down because Mr.<br />

Williams had not accompanied<br />

Mrs. Williams and the builder<br />

when they made the application.<br />

The second time they<br />

were asked to present more<br />

plans.<br />

<strong>On</strong> the third attempt, the<br />

couple was informed that then<br />

city solicitor Jtobert F. Garret<br />

had advised Beddow not to<br />

issue a permit because the<br />

plans extended over the<br />

Atlantic Coastal Beach Zone,<br />

an imaginary line drawn by the<br />

city ordinjnee in 1971 to<br />

prevent building encroachment<br />

and sand dune removal along<br />

the beachfront.<br />

According to Daniels, a letter<br />

from Oarrett informing Beddow<br />

<strong>of</strong> this decision was the<br />

only written refusal the<br />

Williams pair had received. He<br />

said, however, that prwent city<br />

solicitor Josiah E DuBois had<br />

interpreted Garret's action and<br />

Beddow's refusal as a formal<br />

permit denial,<br />

Tarves responded with a<br />

letter from Beddow stating that<br />

Mr. and Mrs. Williams had<br />

never made a formal permit<br />

application. Since a formal<br />

application followed by an<br />

<strong>of</strong>ficial permit denial by the<br />

building inspector is a<br />

prerequisite for a hearing on a<br />

variance request, Tarves<br />

continued the hearing until the<br />

Board's November meeting.<br />

<strong>On</strong> a requett by Danieli, the<br />

board instructed its secretary<br />

continued on page 16<br />

South end condo<br />

future in doubt<br />

If residents <strong>of</strong> the southend<br />

felt that last week's decision by<br />

the planning board to recommend<br />

that the Mark VII<br />

Development Corporation's<br />

proposed 40 unit condominium<br />

be disapproved brought an end<br />

to the project, they were<br />

mistaken.<br />

According to Thomas A.<br />

CucUioUa, m attorney for «fti<br />

builders, there are provisions<br />

under Ordinance 1104, which<br />

calk for a site plan review for<br />

certain types <strong>of</strong> buildings, that<br />

the builders are legally entitled<br />

to use in an effort to get their<br />

project approved,<br />

Cucinotta made his remarks<br />

following a hearing by the<br />

builders before an <strong>of</strong>ficial <strong>of</strong> the<br />

State's Bureau <strong>of</strong> Marine Lands<br />

Management <strong>of</strong> the State's<br />

Deoartment <strong>of</strong> Bivlronmwital<br />

Protection (DBF). This<br />

meeting had been scheduled to<br />

comply with provisions <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Coastal Areas Facility Review<br />

Act prior to last week's, ruling<br />

by the Planning Board.<br />

"The next jtep, as outlined<br />

under (ordinance 1104),"<br />

Cucinotta said, "the builders<br />

may take their cue before the<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Commissioners. If the<br />

Cyclists will be able to pedal<br />

the length <strong>of</strong> this island on a<br />

In court again<br />

<strong>City</strong> named in beach suits<br />

Tlie owners <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong><br />

beachfront lots along E.<br />

Atlantic blvd. oeeanward <strong>of</strong> the<br />

"bulkhead line" imposed in<br />

1971 have filed suit against the<br />

city for various damages including<br />

the reclamation <strong>of</strong><br />

property taxes paid on the lots.<br />

The suits were brought by<br />

Jiy nugan <strong>of</strong> B29 St James pL,<br />

th« owner <strong>of</strong> three beachfront<br />

lot* in taji block 46 G, and<br />

Richard G. Snyder, Mary Nolan<br />

Snyder, John D. Hermansader<br />

and Rosemary , C. Hermansacier,<br />

who Jointly and<br />

separately own 10 ld« in the<br />

same area.<br />

TTie Hermaniaders live in<br />

West Redding, Conn., Snyder<br />

lives at 783 Boardwalk and his<br />

wife lives at 90S Seaview rd<br />

Snyder was a deputy to former<br />

iii Charge <strong>of</strong> rhe city's heaeh<br />

repleniKhniBnt pmgram until<br />

1971<br />

Both the Dugan and Snyder-<br />

HermanMder suits were filed<br />

by Ronald ftmnan <strong>of</strong> the law<br />

<strong>of</strong>fices <strong>of</strong> Warren, Goldberg<br />

and Berman <strong>of</strong> Trartnn.<br />

In the faU <strong>of</strong> 1971 tbe city<br />

eommisiioneri adopted an<br />

ordinance creating a caastaj<br />

beach »ne where no new<br />

building could take place and in<br />

the event <strong>of</strong> the destruction <strong>of</strong><br />

more than half <strong>of</strong> a structure<br />

already existing within that<br />

zone it could not be rebuilt. The<br />

"bulkhead line" runs along the<br />

easterly line <strong>of</strong> E. Atlantic Uvd.<br />

K the poMibility <strong>of</strong><br />

any building on either the<br />

Dugan or SnydfT Herrn«uimdi>r<br />

properties<br />

Prior to enactment <strong>of</strong> th*<br />

ordinance Snyder began<br />

bulldozing away the land dunes<br />

on his property and the city<br />

obtained a resDralning order in<br />

Chancery Division <strong>of</strong> Superior<br />

Court. That litigation wag<br />

settled when the city agreed to<br />

pay Snyder the fair market<br />

value for the sand duie covered<br />

lots, and in the event the two<br />

tides failed to reach an<br />

agreement over the price the<br />

city would institute eminent<br />

domain proceedings.<br />

Both Snyder and Dugan<br />

turned down the city's <strong>of</strong>fer on<br />

the grounds that it inadequately<br />

reflected the value <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Fourth arson attempt found<br />

Sometime Tuesday evening,<br />

still another attempt was made<br />

to destroy the home <strong>of</strong> Edward<br />

Dougherty on 340 <strong>Ocean</strong> av.<br />

Three timis in a period <strong>of</strong> sut<br />

weeki in the spring <strong>of</strong> this year<br />

Dougherty's home was struck<br />

by fire, all apparently the work<br />

<strong>of</strong> an arsonist.<br />

In the last attempt, which<br />

QCeured on April an; firemen<br />

found containers with a<br />

petroleum-based product<br />

spaced around the attic Door In<br />

the center <strong>of</strong> the circle <strong>of</strong><br />

containers was a burned down<br />

candle. Fire Chief Ferdinand<br />

Taccarino said an inflammable<br />

Full <strong>of</strong> legal problems<br />

substance had apparently been<br />

poin-ed on the floor from the<br />

candle to each container.<br />

Recently Dougherty started<br />

reconstructing his home and,<br />

evidently, the arsonist is<br />

determined to see that such<br />

attempts are aborted,<br />

Thi* attempt at arson,<br />

however, was thwarted through<br />

the efforts <strong>of</strong> concerned neighbors<br />

Fred Schnilzler, <strong>of</strong> this<br />

city, was driving Mrs. Hon.ee<br />

Jordan home from a meeting to<br />

her residence in the vicinity <strong>of</strong><br />

Dougherty's home, when the<br />

two <strong>of</strong> them smelled gas They<br />

called the police who, in turn,<br />

contacted the N«w Jersey<br />

Natural Gas Co.<br />

When no one showed from the<br />

ps company, SchnHzlw and<br />

Jordan decided to call in the<br />

fire dapartment Fire depart^<br />

merit <strong>of</strong>ficials broke into the<br />

home and found a three<br />

quarter-inch main line in the<br />

home had been opened and a<br />

candle was left burning<br />

Police department oKieuus<br />

were only able to say that an<br />

investigation into tbe incident is<br />

being conducted. George<br />

Snyder. supervisor <strong>of</strong> the New<br />

that the appraUab were being<br />

recalculated and reviled upward<br />

Oty gives Beach Club break<br />

A special meeting <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> ajmrnissioneii was<br />

held yesterday to pass a<br />

resolution "ejttending the time<br />

for commencing construction<br />

on the project taiown as Beach<br />

Qub Condominium in the <strong>City</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong>."<br />

A resolution approving the<br />

final site plan was adopted by<br />

the commissioners on <strong>Oct</strong>otar<br />

17, 1973, with the provision that<br />

all permits would hr.ve to be<br />

obtained and eonjtruetion<br />

would have had to be started<br />

within one year <strong>of</strong> th« passage<br />

<strong>of</strong> the resolution. Unless this<br />

restriction was complied with,<br />

the resolution would have<br />

become null and void.<br />

However, during the interim,<br />

the Qwan <strong>City</strong> Beach and Bay<br />

preservation Association has<br />

brought suit against the builder<br />

in an attempt to stop the construction<br />

<strong>of</strong> the project and this<br />

has hampered the builder in his<br />

atempt to comply with the<br />

resolution.<br />

"As a result <strong>of</strong> negotiations<br />

between the city attorney and<br />

attornies for builders <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Beach Club Condominium, "<br />

said Mayor B. Thomas<br />

Waldman, "it became apparent<br />

that the conditions <strong>of</strong> the<br />

original resoluion could not be<br />

met, to wit, that the builder<br />

must comply with all the<br />

conditions <strong>of</strong> the site plan<br />

within a one year period. Thus,<br />

the terms <strong>of</strong> tbe original<br />

resolution have been extended<br />

to a period <strong>of</strong> 120 days beyond<br />

the conclusion <strong>of</strong> all litigation "<br />

In final comment, tne mayor<br />

emphasized the additional<br />

proviso <strong>of</strong> the extending<br />

resolution "that any application<br />

for a building permit<br />

made within this extended<br />
