The potential sale of land adjacent to Auburn's McCutchen-Coke Park took most of the time in a long Auburn City Council meeting Monday.

However, two other issues seemed to arouse more interest.

They had to do with an adult business and a conflict between religion and government.

Mayor Dewey Roche announced that a new “adult marital enhancement” business has opened on the city's Main Street.

He said that D&C Novelties has opened in the old Auburn Electric building on the west side of town along the main entrance.

Roche said he wanted people to know that it would be best not to take their children in the shop.

He said that the owners, Auburn residents Dwayne and Christy Doepel, have the front of the shop fixed where there people can feel comfortable, but that if people have special requests they will supply articles they request.

Auburn apparently has no ordinance regulating such businesses.

Councilman Wayne Thomas, who is also a minister, said, “I would like for us to consider passing an ordinance to make certain that presentable businesses come here.”

No other comments were made.
