According to reports of the inci- I dent, the young swimmer got in trou- i ble with the undertow, which began to pull her out to sea. She was able to grab onto one of the pilings about halfway down Holden Beach Fishing Pier. Assisted by two surfers, Officer Adkins used an innertube and a towline to bring the girl safely back to shore. "Your unselfish action in entering the water and bringing the girl to safety at some risk to yourself," Amos wrote in the letter, "is in keeping with the finest standards of police performance." Adkins, who appeared at the meeting to accept his commendation, said only he wished to "thank those people who helped."

Pet Ordinance Zooms Through Commissioners acted unanimously to approve a revised pet ordinance requested by the board last year. The action came despite a question (roii* I'tiininluloncr l)\ortu Barrett as to whether a public hearing must proceed adoption of the revised ordinance. No one present was able to answer the question. The ordinance was approved following a motion by Commissioner Hal Stanley and second by Commissioner Graham King. Also questioning the ordinance was Holden Beach resident John Clarke, who had submitted a list of questions pertaining to the proposed ordinance. "Does this mean you arc ignoring my suggestions?" Clarke asked immediately following the vote. "John," Stanley replied, "quite frankly the problem of passing a pet control ordinance is secondary to how you are going to enforce it. When you get to pets, that's the biggest hag of worms f know of." Answering Clarke's repeated question was Mayor Amos, who said, "At any rate, Jolin, the ordinance has been passed." "I can swallow," Clark replied. "I've been swallowing a long time," Stanley told him. Clarke's questions largely dealt with definition in the newly enacted ordinance. He questioned the use of the term "at large;" when a pet becomes a nuisance; how a police officer on duty is expected to determine "to what extent" a pet becomes a nuisance; and why restrictions are limited primarily to the strand. Tuesday morning following the meeting, Mayor Amos questioned the speed with which the ordinance was approved. He told the Beacon he felt more discussion should have been ofi yiTi'fgrrng-gFir] Country & Western Niqht j Speckal Request Night. 711 p.m. | | Group Lessons 2-3 p.m.?$2 Open Skate 3-6 p.m. i Coupies Speoal 7-11 p m?$5 I Soul Night. 7-11 p m.

Commissioner Hal Stanley took an a taking a motion to drop the suit agaii "I do not think that by any stretch of lat's a duplex out there" Stanley s olden has tried to correct what he f< love. "I move that we drop legal action o >wn and that we remind ourselves I tore diligent in the future to stop thcs urring in the future." Stanley's motion was amended b; Iraham King, who asked that the tov rith Holdens' attorneys "to re greement." The motion was approved with Cc lolden, Al&n Holden's brother, askir rom the vote. Commissioner Jim Gi rom the meeting. Action on the town's suit was pron rom Holden requesting that town offi egardlng disposition of the case. ded For 0< ered to the measure before it was enacted. "When you start playing around tvith someone's dog," he said, "it's <ind of like playing around with someone's children." Clarke and other beach residents are concerned that the ordinance is too vague in definition to enforce properly. The revised ordinance includes definitions for the following terms: at large, dog, head of household, impounded, owner, nuisance, pet, pound, stray, and vicious or dangerous pet. The ordinance dedicates discussion to the following sectional headings: unlawful to be a nuisance; pet or strand; molestation of other animal.' and wildlife; confinement of femali pets in heat; abandonment of pets; vaccination; muzzling; impound ment; procedure in lieu of impound ment; disposition of dangerous fierce or vicious pets; teasing 01 molesting pets; pet care; respon Simmy 01 owners; ana penaiues.
