The Commissioners referred the matter to the Town Attorney for specific language. Commissioners Hasulak was happy to report that there were no fire calls during August^ and only 9 rescue squad responses. He also wished to remind all residents of the Fire De- ^ partment Open House on Tuesday October 9, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Details of the event are included in this issue. Mayor Hanan announced that an amendment to the Personnel ordinance grievance procedure will be discussed at the Commissioners workshop. After an Executive session, M r . Hanan nominated Richard Schultz to the f^anning Board and Pat Flinn, Robert Winslow, Richard Erhardt and Ron Maxwell to the Community Appearance Commission. All were approved by voice vote. Mayor Hanan reminded everyone of the Beach Sweep to be held on September 22 at the Ocean Park. Bring gloves, shoes,- hats and water. The Mayor announced that the commercial fishing season on the beach will begin shortly. Fishermen are required to have a visibly posted town permit to drive four wheel vehicles on the beach and that violators will be fined. This beach vehicle access does not include recreational fishermen. Finally, Mary Korff, our fine Shoreline Editor and long time resident reported on her recent experience of being caught in a rip tide that threatened she and her daughter. For tunately two young surfers saw that they were in trouble and came to their aid and helped both Mary and her daughter to shore, Mary expressed her heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the excellent job that the Rescue Squad performed. She also praised the response of the Atlantic Beach Rescue Squad and the police in speeding her to the hospital when she com plained of chest pains. Fortunately Mary's diagnosis was found to be an inflamation of the esophagus. Her only complaint was the attending ambulance doctor kept calling her "sugar". Well "sugar" it's good to have you back!

Lois Jean O'Keefe reported that there will be four vacancies coming up on the Planning Board in September. COMMUNITY APPEARANCE COMMISSION With September comes the term expirations of the following members of this commission: Fred McCall, Chairman, Erma Johnson, Art Miller, Margery Turney, and Humphrey Odell [resigned]. For the relatively short time I was a part of the Commission I quickly recognized the superior job Fred mcCall did, as chairman, directing the equally enthusiastic members. Being a.Tiember of the "Pretty Committee" does not necessarily insure instant popularity but hopefully at least, a sense of appreciation for their determination to uphold the rules and regulations that go in to making Pine Knoll Shores such a special place to live. We ALL benefit because of this committee. M Once again, a reminder about trash pick up. If there is no public announcement, to the contrary, about pick up being a different day because of a holiday, continue the usual
