VENTNOR - All right, buddy, raise your hands and drop the ...leaf-blower. In one of its first official acts, the new City Commission votedThursday to ban the use of leaf- and grass-blowing machines in thecity, except to gather up yard waste to take it away.

The vote just gives preliminary approval to making the limitedleaf-blower ban the local law of the land. The ordinance will bethe subject of an open public hearing and second and final vote atthe governing body's next formal meeting, which is scheduled forJuly 17.

The move got its first favorable vote Thursday with no publiccomment, although the commissioners discussed the subject in aworkshop meeting last week.

Commissioner Stephen Weintrob said then that the law is intended tostop landscaping companies from blowing yard waste from theirclients' properties into streets or onto neighbors' properties.
