Councilman Bill Mudron , who chairs the council's committee that includes garbage collection, urged all those who think they may be eligible to apply at once. "Submitting an application two days before or two days after the Jan I notice s go out will be too late," he said Seniors who think they may be eligible should pick up the simple, one page application forro at the borough building beginning this week, and return it as soon as possible. "Seniors are usually the first to pay [borough assessments] They're standing at the [office door] •We want to do something to help them," said council President Marty Palma.

As a com mercial enterprise in a residential zone, the bar requires such an application Rich , who lives next door to the tavern , opposed the continuation The zoning board voted 2 1 in favor of allowing the bar to reopen " The main issue involved [in the hearing] was that the owner of the place had to prove he was not abandoning it ," Ri c h said "We have a lot of evidence showing that this man [owner Fred Hartman] does not care about this property one bit," Rich said She added that , at the hearing , Hartman produced no hard evidence that he wou Id open it , such as tax receipts Although Hartman owns the property, he reportedly plans to tum over operation of the establishment of the tavern to another person , whose name was notRichavailablewasone of only three people who attended the zoning board session , but she said I8 people signed a petition against re-opening the bar and man y o thers have concerns aboutOneit s uch res ident , Tom Bendow ski, said the Back Street Tave rn was a real nuisa nce.

The bar first opened as Dorothy ' s Bar in 1978 1:ut reopened as the Back Street Tavern in 1984 It re-opened again in 1986 and obtained a new owner in 1991. Hartman took over in I 992 , and the tavern closed in December 1994 According to research by borough staff, the Back Street Tavern still has a liquor license but hasn ' t paid the mercantile tax since 1994 or the business privilege tax, which was instituted in Palma1997 said council had not officially been notified of the zoning board's decision, but once it was, an appeal would be sent to the Court of Common Pleas within 30 days "Whether we win or lose, we will be taking an appeal," he said. Assistant Ordinance Officer John Wagner planned to take pictures of the bar to show that the property is in disrepair. He also assured Bendowski that his complaints would be handled."It'swater over the dam here, but you're entitled to the protection of Mount Oliver Borough ," Palma said. "If we're going to open a bar, we'll definitely [issue] parking permits."
response was inconsistent. ''They'll go into the bar first , bring a person out, and tell him to go [without giving him a ticket]," Bendowski said about some officers There was, however, one officer who did write tickets When he reported this to another police officer, " He told me to mind my own business, [that] it's his discretion ." Another officer told Bendowski that he didn't need to write a ticket for the infraction Rich and Bendowski said they believed the problems would grow worse if the Back Street Tavern was re opened. Borough Police Chief Jack Hindmarch said he was not aware of the inconsistencies. He said he needs to know the days and times of the incidents and the names of the officers who aren ' t handing out tickets. About the zoning board hearing , borough council president Martin Palma said he had intended to be there to object to the re-opening of the bar, but he was out of town. Council member Don Cornelius was there , but at the ti.me he left, he thought the zoning board would not approve it.
