Our Ninth Annual Burns Supper At The Ugly Mug

The Irish Pipe Brigade, led by Pipe Major Kevin Tolan, perform at the Ninth Annual Exit Zero Burns Supper at the Ugly Mug on January 24.

RAMBLINGS, GOSSIP, SHOUT-OUTS, AND OCCASIONALLY IMPORTANT ODDS AND ENDS

Big Honors CONGRATULATIONS to Jim and Jenna Labrusciano, owners of the Albert Stevens Inn, in West Cape May, recently named number 18 on a list of 25 best B&Bs in the world — and number five in the country— by TripAdvisor. “We never expected that; good grief,” Jim told us. Congrats, also, to Susan Babineau-Roberts and her husband Raymond Roberts for being named number 25 in the country. “We celebrated with a big hug and kiss,” Raymond said. “We’re so busy with the inn, we didn’t have time for much else!”

Farewell, Colette WHEN Colette Jones, manager of the Blue Pig Tavern, passed away on February 2 after a five-year battle with breast cancer, it didn’t take long for the news to spread. Messages of love and gratitude began appearing on so many Facebook pages; those who knew her wanted to share with the Cape May community Colette loved so much their appreciation for having known her. “She was my best friend,” said Colette’s daughter Kristine Foltz. “When I got pregnant in 2000, I was living in North Carolina. My husband was just getting out of the military, and I told him we needed to move back to New Jersey, because I needed to be near my mom. She was amazing.” But it wasn’t just Colette’s three children, her two grandchildren, or her loving husband Rick Jones, who felt this way. The men

and women who worked for her during her 20 years managing the Ugly Mug, or the last six years she spent at the Blue Pig, admired her nurturing spirit as well. “She was stern and firm, but so loving,” Kristine told us. “So many of her foreign employees she cared for as her own children. She went to one girl’s graduation because her parents weren’t able to make it from Romania. She attended another employee’s wedding in Mexico. She went above and beyond.” It’s a spirit that garnered her the respect of everyone who knew her. “She was always optimistic and upbeat,” said co-managing partner of Cape Resorts Group, Curtis Bashaw, who had the American flag on his Congress Hall property lowered to halfmast in honor of his friend and employee. “Even in the darkest of times, she was her optimistic,

upbeat self. She’s been in and out of remission, and each time the cancer came back, she stared it down with grace and dignity. She had a kind and gracious spirit.” Colette’s family had planned a beef and beer to raise money for medical treatments and the event is still scheduled for February 23 at the Bayview, Wildwood Crest, from 7pm to 11pm. Money raised will go toward outstanding medical bills and to the Love of Linda Cancer Fund, the Golf Fights Cancer organization, and the Fox Chase Cancer Center.

Talk Of The Town ? From Page 13 Freda’s café employee, former social media intern for the jazz festival, and current Cape May lover — was going to run a 4k for charity, we didn’t think a huge deal of it. Nice, sure. Generous, yes. But such races aren’t exactly a rarity around these parts — we know lots of folks who participate in highly anticipated turkey trots and turtle runs and… there’s probably a seagull sprint happening somewhere in this county as we type this. But this isn’t your typical race. In this event, “K” doesn’t stand for kilometer at all. What does it represent, you want to know? Thousand. As in four thousand. As in four thousand… miles. Beginning on June 15, Nicole will join a group of 30 people who are running from San Francisco to Baltimore in 30 days. “I’ve been cross-country twice before,” Nicole told us. “But I guess you could say I wanted to do it a little

differently this time.” The days will be structured as a relay, in which each participant will run a mile at a time until he or she has reached a daily goal of approximately 13 miles. Chasing vans will follow to make sure all is well. But the best part? It’s all for a good cause. Eighty-three percent of the money raised — the runners must secure $4,500 each by May — benefits the Ulman Cancer fund, which offers support to young adults affected by cancer. En route, the runners will use their one day off a week to volunteer, whether that means visiting with cancer patients or giving awareness-raising presentations. “The organization focuses on a demographic people don’t think about,” Nicole told us. “When you’re 15 or 20 or 25, you’re supposed to be healthy. I can’t imagine what it’s like to find out, at my age, that this isn’t the case. But it’s this demographic that has the highest death rate. I hope to raise some awareness for this; it’s not just the pedi-

atric and geriatric populations that are affected.” Nicole’s other motivation? The struggles her own family members and friends — including a neighbor, an aunt, and her grandfather — have had with the disease. “I just finished my senior year cross-country season at Niagara University,” Nicole said. “I’ve been running competitively for eight years, and I feel a little lost now that it’s over. I decided I could use the sport I love to give something back.” And she’s counting on your support to do so. Nicole, who comes from Perkasie, Pennsylvania, and whose family has a house in Town Bank, calls Cape May her second home, and now is the time to show some support for one of our own. Businesses looking to make a donation can email Nicole at nicolem91@yahoo.com to receive a fundraising packet. Individuals can simply log on to 4kforcancer.org/profiles/nicolemehlman/. “I love the area,” Nicole told us, “and I love the

The Crab Debate WHEN we first heard about the state legislature’s proposed lifting of the ban on horseshoe crab harvesting in New Jersey, we were taken aback. After all, this is the same endangered crab that’s essential to shorebirds… they rely on eating horseshoe eggs during yearly migrations. And this is the same crab responsible for the survival of many human lives, as well — its blood contains a clotting agent used to test intravenous drugs for potentially fatal bacteria. It’s a crab that’s been around for at least 300 million years. A crab that Cape May natives have come to respect. We’ve seen tattoos of the creature on tanned ankles at the beach in the summer, we’ve seen folks get worked up at the sight of a curious child mishandling a horse-

Thursday, February 7, 2013 shoe, and we’ve busied ourselves by righting overturned crabs who can’t flip themselves. It’s fair to say we have a collective attachment to the animal, one that makes us feel protective when we hear its population has decreased steadily over the years. Or that a ban on harvesting meant to quell such a decline might be in danger. But what we’ve realized over the course of this week is that this is far from a black-and-white issue, and there are reasoned arguments on both sides of the discussion. We caught up with Captain Charles Schumann, who earned a degree in Oceanography before working as a commercial fisherman for over a decade. He also ran the Horseshoe Crab Festival in Wildwood, which brought fascinated tourists to the area from as far as Japan. “Horseshoe crab populations are either on the decline or on the verge of crash in every other area,” he told us. “The Delaware Bay is the only area in the world where they are still managing to survive.” And

it’s a survival in which we should all have a vested interest, he says. “The crab has sustained itself where many other species have gone extinct,” he explained. “They don’t get cancers.” Meaning if we let the species die off — or kill it off — we may never unlock the secrets to its resilience, secrets which may be advantageous to humans. Charles acknowledges the importance of the horseshoe crab as bait to the fishing world, particularly for those who fish for whelk, but he says there are other options. “I think commercial fishermen are a very interesting group of hardworking men,” he said, “They work hard, and for all the right reasons. But things change, and fishermen need to think about how they’re going to change, too. I don’t believe that any species has more a right to this planet than any other.” Fellow conservationist Pete Dunne, Director of the Cape May Bird Observatory, isn’t so sure that local fishermen should have

to change their ways… just that they might have to be a bit patient. “Fishing is a wonderful cultural institution,” he said, “and I’m looking forward to a time when we have horseshoe crab numbers that can sustain that, the day when this becomes a harvestable resource again. But that time has not come yet.” In the 1980s, Pete remembers the crabs covering the shores of the Delaware Bay – their North American “breeding stronghold”—like cobblestone, a spectacle on par with the Grand Canyon appearing here for a month every year. “For the last 15 years, we haven’t been able to promote this phenomenon,” he says. “But it is progressing, and that you can attribute to the ban. I am excited about the prospect of a full recovery for the crabs and the birds; I’m thinking in 10 years or so, we’re going to have the Grand Canyon here again.” Unless, that is, we lift the ban too soon. In that case… “all bets are off.”

Talk Of The Town ? From Page 16 Others think the end to the moratorium can’t come soon enough. Captain Tom Daffin of Fishin’ Fever Sportsfishing, who has charter boats docked in the Cape May harbor, recently had to sell his commercial whelk fishing boat. “With a lot of guys looking for horseshoe crab as bait, and not as many places to buy it, the prices have increased,” he said. “Ten years ago, it was 50 cents a crab; now, it’s six dollars each.” And Tom needs approximately 20,000 crabs per year. It’s possible to substitute with johah or stone crab, but the yield when using that type of bait is half of what it would be with ideal bait. Without his whelk boat, Tom has lost two-thirds of his income for the year. And, in his mind, it might be a sacrifice made in vain. We called Senator Jeff Van Drew, who proposed the bill, to see if Tom’s fear could be grounded in fact. “I’m absolutely

concerned about the shorebirds and the horseshoe crabs,” he told us. “These are very special creatures. I’m not being an anti-environmentalist.” But, he explained, there are three reasons why a unilateral ban is not a practical option for protecting these animals… The first is environmental. The senator directed us toward a peer-reviewed study published shortly after the ban was initially put in place, in 2008. Conducted by the Atlantic State Marine Fisheries Commission, it revealed that a harvest of 100,000 male crabs in New Jersey a year would have no impact on the shorebird and horseshoe crab populations whatsoever. (Caveat: It’s a recommendation that’s NOT in-line with the findings of Larry Niles, former Chief of New Jersey DEP’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program, whose work was referenced in the implementation of the ban.) Worse, at this point in time, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission has set a quota for New Jersey, or an allot-

ment for the amount of crabs fishermen are allowed to harvest here. If we don’t use this allotment because the ban remains in place, another state is likely to request it. Meaning? “We won’t actually be saving one crab,” Jeff said. The second incentive is a moral one. The senator says that approximately 35 whelk fishermen who would be affected by this ban were promised compensation for the loss of their licenses. This never happened. “The environmental community also promised that other states, like Delaware and Maryland, would follow suit and institute their own bans,” he said. “This never happened either. I get angry when promises are broken.” And the third reason? Economics. “Our fishermen are still using horseshoe crabs for bait,” he said, “but now they’re going to Delaware to buy it.” On top of this, Jeff says, it’s not clear that harvesting is the sole perpetrator here. Eroded beaches might also be respon-

sible for diminished populations. And there are restrictions to harvesting that will ensure the species does not suffer unnecessarily; harvest-free zones exist, for instance, on beaches where eggs are laid. “This is a complicated bill,” he said. “This is not a sexy bill. It’s about common sense.” We called a spokesperson for the DEP, who told us the organization has not yet come out with a formal stance on this bill yet, and that “it’s still very early.” It is possible they will be asked to come out with formal testimony, if the proposal progresses through the legislature. We’ll be waiting to hear. In the meantime, we’re looking forward to another spring of doing what we know for sure will help the cause, no controvery about it: flipping them over.

They worked with the local municipality to see that this didn’t happen, and the Surfrider Foundation — now an international organization that advocates for the protection of our oceans and their ecosystems — was born. It’s a group that came to be because passionate people were faced with the loss of something they loved dearly, making it an appropriate forum for memorializing Tommy Kraemer. We were devastated to hear about the passing of Tommy, the 28-year-old sous chef of Peter Shields Inn, who was in a fatal car accident on the Garden State Parkway on January 11. We attended the funeral, along with so many others who’ve been blessed to know Tommy — the church was standing room only. We’re not surprised by this; he

Thursday, February 7, 2013 was a wonderful man who cared deeply about his friends, his family, and his beautiful wife, Lauren (nee Bailey) Kraemer, who works as a marketing coordinator for Elaine’s Dinner Theater. Lauren has been working hard on the aforementioned memorial to Tommy through Surfrider. The work of the foundation — including beach cleanups, coastal education programs, and the monitoring of water quality — was close to Tommy’s heart, as he was an active waterman. We had the pleasure of watching him surf, and it was a wonderful thing to watch. If you’d like to contribute, checks — which should include a note that your donation is for Tommy Kraemer’s memorial — can be made out to: Surfrider Foundation, South Jersey Chapter, 7115 Ridge Avenue, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234. All of your money will go directly to Cape May County projects. Rest in peace, Tommy.

CAPE MAY BULLETIN BOARD ■ CALLING ALL ANIMAL LOVERS Linda and Bob Steenrod of the animal-friendly BillMae Cottage would like to extend a great, big thank-you to everyone who contributed to their Animal Giving Tree. “We were able to deliver 16 bags of food, goodies, cleaning supplies, and towels/blankets to the County Shelter, and four bags of supplies to the new Animal Outreach facility,” Linda said. “We also collected a great deal of money for Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, US Saves Pets, and Animal Outreach.” If anyone has anything else they’d like to give, checks can be sent directly to the above organizations, or dropped off at the Steenrod home (1011 Washington Street). “And anyone can leave items on the porches at 1015 or 1011 Washington Street,” Linda said. “We will be making several trips to the shelter and Animal Outreach throughout the year.” ■ CALLING ALL VEGETARIANS Some of us at Exit Zero have made the decision to live a vegetarian lifestyle, so we’d like to send a special thank you to Executive Chef of The Ebbitt Room Anthony Micari, whose been ever-so accommodating. We loved the pasta, Beach Plum Farm vegetable, poached pear and toasted almond dish topped off with a truffle oil dressing he concoted for us. Hot tip from Anthony for fellow green-goers: Be on the lookout for a killer new pasta dish coming to The Ebbitt Room menu shortly. ■ CALLING ALL COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS The Greater Cape May Historical Society will meet on Wednesday, February 20 at 10:30am at the Carriage House of the Physick Estate,1048 Washington Street. Bernadette Matthews of the Center for Community Arts will present CCA’s exhibit “Celebrating Community Service: Black Fraternal, Social and Civic Organizations of Cape May County.” Visitors are welcome.

Here’s To Your Health

A weekly column about getting fit and feeling your best ... by Mark Chamberlain of North Beach Health Club

LOVE sugar. So do you. I love cookies (homemade), gourmet cupcakes (choc-espresso), and warm apple crisp. Candy? Eh. Not my thing. Regardless of what poison we savor to spike our insulin, it sometimes can get the better of us. And sometimes it can save us. Consider this: My girl and I went out for a six-mile run a couple of Sundays ago. The setting was the Valley Green section of Fairmount Park, bordered by Chestnut Hill and Mount Airy in Philadelphia. The trail is broad with soft gravel, along the Wissahickon Creek in the middle of the woods. Families with dogs, bikers, hikers, speed-walkers, and uber-fit runners make up a menagerie of activity most days. I felt great and started out fast for our first destination, which was two miles away: the bathroom. I was killing it and from time to time she was saying, “You better slow down.” Are you kidding, I was on fire! After our pit-stop, we started up a hill

and that’s when I felt it. My legs got heavy, I started to sweat, and my awesome run was coming undone. My blood sugar had dropped and it was all I could do to get in another mile before I had to stop. “You go on,” I said, “I’ll stay here and forage for slugs until you get back.” I might have eaten them, too. I was desperate for sugar in any form; I was craving it. As I limped back to the snack bar I saw baby-joggers and thought, “Animal crackers! Juice boxes!” I wondered if they’d be willing to share.

Vibrant and lithe octogenarians were overtaking me as I slowed to a crawl. I was broken. How could I come to this state so quickly, I wondered. I actually knew, so I will tell you. The sugar stored in my cells, glycogen, was used up quickly on the initial sprint/run. I hadn’t eaten enough slow metabolizing carbs to last the entire run. You know, like vegetables. My body was left to burn the next fuel source: fat. I’m not Terry O’Brien over here (no offense, Terry!) so I faltered, fast. The Gatorade running down my face never tasted so good. I shoved potato chips in my face and chewed on some weird gummy cubes made by Clif Bars. Nicely dressed families filed by me, likely apalled by my cavemanesque eating. Within 15 minutes, my glycogen, (sugar), was back in my cells and I jumped up and took off down the trail like a man given a second chance at life. Next time, I’m bringing cookies with me.

Keeping you warm all winter long... Our sumptuous $39, 3 Course Prixe Fix

Joe and Gloria

« FUN FACT... Joe Kittel built laser injection systems for nuclear power plants in Philadelphia. He met his bride Gloria, a registered psychiatric nurse, during a night of dancing in the city. After 60 years of marriage, they’re still going strong. We asked one of their four children, Dan Kittel, the one thing he’s learned from watching his parents over the years. “The importance of patience,” he told us. “Definitely patience.”

been an outstanding athlete and role model during his high school tenure. Kai, a Cape May native, has starred on the cross country, winter track, and spring track teams at LCMR for the past two years. The son of Susi and Randy Bithell, Kai has been team captain for all three seasons. He said he “leads by example and wins.” Bithell tied the school record of 58.7 in the 400 hurdles during spring track. Bithell uses his father as his motivation and inspiration for running, as his father was an outstanding runner in high school. Beyond all of his athletics, Bithell is involved with LCMR’s chapter of Key Club, National Honor Society, and he is also a Peer Leader. He enjoys the latter because “it hones his leadership skills.” Bithell plans to attend a four-year college to study civil engineering. He is considering Drexel, Rutgers, Rowan, and TCNJ.

12/30: Garden “Pawtea” At The Highland House

Pawtea founder Dave Ripoli says to look for the banner hanging from the second-floor banister of the Highland House (it’s on Broadway, West Cape May) on Pawtea days, which usually happen on Saturdays, between 1pm and 3pm. “Another way to find out if the Pawtea is being held is to friend request the Highland House on Facebook,” he says. “I post an announcement a couple days ahead of time along with the snacks that will be served that day.” Think of treats like pumpkin scones or homemade tomato basil bisque soup... mmm...

AN, what a boring five weeks it has (not) been. Where do I begin? How about with the screamingly obvious… On January 20 we launched Beatles Night, Cape May in the Boiler Room at Congress Hall. I stole the idea from longtime family friend Dave Stern, who’s been running his Massachusetts show for five years. After dozens of rehearsals (one) we took the stage. On Game Day we plugged in, tuned up and sound checked with the indispensable Brandon Smith running the board. We then did a run-through of the 35 songs we learned. Then it was 5:30 and we all took a break til the doors opened at 6:30 for our 7:00 show. (Will Knapp, in true Will Knapp Fashion, arrived at 6:55.) Unsure what to expect, I walked into the Boiler Room at 6:35 and was stunned to see it already filling up. By 7:00 it was packed, by 7:02 I was cracking my way through “Two Of Us”, not because I couldn’t hit the notes (hell, Autotone looks at me and says, “Damn! That guy never misses a note!”) but because I

was, as I tend to get, a little emotional. But hey! I was singing a great Beatles song with my cool brother while looking at my beautiful wife, surrounded by an awesome band in a room full of expectant people waiting to hear a rock and roll show. So… the moment got to me. I’m not ashamed to admit it. I don’t want to overstate it, and maybe it was just me, but there was something special going on in the Boiler Room that night. The acts ran the gamut from pro-to-amateur with varying degrees of performance acumen, but all were met with warm applause at the very least, and a screaming dance floor at best. I could spend several columns writing about every single act, but we haven’t room

for that, but I want to single out a few folks... John Cooke took to social media to point out that this was a social media event, publicized through Facebook and a few awkward tweets (I suck at Twitter). Pretty impressive that a single Facebook event page blossomed into 200+ people bringing peace and love to Congress Hall on a specific date and time. (My editor asked me to point out that there were also print ads in Exit Zero. Okay, okay.) Henrie Washington, a last-minute addition, took hours of stellar video. A few of his choice cuts appear on the YouTube and yes, that beautiful brunette to my right is my lovely bride, Cathrine, who just kind of rolls out of bed and sings like a dream. I miss performing with her. (Easy now…) Congress Hall Entertainment Director Myra Vassian immediately embraced and shared my vision and, through gentle, insistent prodding, nursed this event to life. It was great fun to watch Parker Smith (Ping!) sweat his ass off for five minutes on stage, yanked completely out of his comfort zone, after watching him not break a sweat

The Undertow ? From Page 37 in hundreds of hours on stage together at Elaine’s. (Except for that one Sherlock Holmes show with the epic Albert Brooks-ian flop sweat, but we never speak of that.) Parker performed with his niece, Kate Delany Chew. Their “I Will” and “Mother Nature’s Son” were affecting and quietly beautiful. Kate also has a fantastic new CD out, Lullaby, which happens to be produced by my new axe man, Bill Caterini, who, by the time you read this, will be dusting off his seat in LA’s Staples Center to watch the Grammys. (He’s up for Best Old Artist.) Heidi Cummings at Inkwell put up with my constant stream of emails, texts and IMs to produce an amazing commemorative T-shirt. And now, the Love Me Dudes... A big “’Atta boy!” to Terry Dougherty for wearing his Sergeant Pepper-flavored college band jacket, and a big “Screw you!” to Terry Dougherty for fitting into his college band jacket. Not only do I not still own anything from college, but to fit me it would have to be a wristband or handkerchief. Kudos, slim. I can’t say enough about the job Al Olivero did on drums. As the timekeeper, the drummer might be the most important member of the band, and Al was a freakin’ metronome, and had clearly done his homework (who knew there was a cha-cha section in “Eight Days A Week”? I didn’t, until Al played it). Mildmannered movie theater manager by day, Thundering Rock God by night. Will Knapp was the Bob Froese of the group. Froese, if you’ll remember, was the Flyers goalie in the mid-to-late ’80s, and all he did every night was show up, do a stunningly professional job, and the Flyers usually got the win. “Unheralded” is a strong word to use about a guy who spent all night pivoting from acoustic guitar to keyboard and playing the hell out of both, but I’ll use it anyway. And his wife kicked “Oh,

Darling!” in its ass. And it’s a shame my brother Mike O’Brien isn’t more wellknown in these parts (unless you’re a single female, in which case you should consider yourself lucky) because he is a jackof-all-trades master-of-ALL. For this gig he played lead guitar as opposed to drums, keyboard or horns (he’s the white Prince!), and if you were there to hear “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” you know he made the right call. It is a simple fact that if he couldn’t do this gig there would not have been a gig. We all love the Beatles, he has the Beatles, as he puts is, imprinted on his nervous system. So, yeah… I was pretty proud of the boys. Oh, and we’re doing Beatles Night, Cape May II on February 17. Same Fab time, same Fab channel. Details, of course, on Facebook — and in this issue. Quote of the Week: “Now would be a good time to leave.” — Flying Fish Studio owner Sue Lotozo to her friend as I approached the “stage” (in quotes because it was a stage only in the loosest sense of the word; it was closer to a postage stamp-size square of floor) at the Exit Zero Burns Supper at the Mug on January 24. I was about to perform “Flower of Scotland”, the unofficial Scottish National Anthem, followed by that other unofficial Scottish National Anthem, The Proclaimers’ “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles), with Jack Wright and Bill Caterini. Sue and I had a bit of a public falling in December (public only because I made it so) involving an email and my apparent dislike of animals and people who love animals. Sorry, Sue; it was not my idea to place us in the closest possible proximity while I yelled Scottish songs in your face. But at least we didn’t sing “Who Let the Dogs Out” or “Cats in the Cradle.” Amiright, amiright? (Is this thing on?) Anyway, Sue... well played. ’Til next week, don’t get caught in The Undertow.

The Movie Column

This week, Dottie Knapp, Cape May Film Society president, reviews “Silver Linings Playbook”

ELCOME to February, which means... Oscar! We film enthusiasts wait all year for this. Red carpet, who are you wearing?, Oscar gold... AND, in Cape May, the Mad Batter’s free Oscar Party, happening February 24 at 5:30pm. Watchthe pageantry, sip the cocktails, enjoy great food, and possibly walk away with a prize. Let’s talk about two films vying for the top prize! First, there’s Lincoln. It tells you something about a movie when it sells out at Frank’s in Rio Grande... after it had been running for several weeks — and with lots of competition (Django Unchained, Gangster Squad and Texas Chainsaw were all vying for the Cape May County film buff dollar). The movie is based on the book by Doris Kearns Goodwin and the screenplay is by Tony Kushner — both of whom know how to tell a story. In an early scene, you see four soldiers — two Caucasian, two African-American — standing before the President talking with him. There is reluctance as they leave him,

Jennifer Lawrence stars in the supremely acted Silver Linings Playbook he dominates every scene, in a good way, by some unseen force. When I attended, as the movie drew to the end, I didn’t want to leave him either. His truth is marching on. Now for Silver Lining Playbook. Can you love a movie and not know why? I had no expectations going into it. I hadn’t read a review and I was late getting into the theater. One can describe this as the ultimate love story between father and son, mother and son, mother and father, family and

friends, boy and girl, brother and brother, and of course the ultimate love affair — the one you have with your football team (in this case the Eagles). The family is dysfunctional but not overtly so. The story unfolds as each person struggles to adjust to the life he is living. While it isn’t smooth, the bumps in the road are driven over in a family sedan as opposed to a clunker. You will come out of the movie feeling good and hopeful, also hungry (the mother is always making food for game day). The acting is outstanding. Actually, using the word “acting” isn’t appropriate; being in the audience feels a bit like being a voyeur. You will come away with an appreciation for those who work hard at managing their mental health issues; in this movie, you root for more than the football team. Join us February 24, 5:30pm at the Mad Batter for the free, Pre-Oscar party. There will be great company, fantastic food, and a chance to win either an Oscar winning film or a downright loser flick! Call or text 609326-FEST for details.

The Old Fogey

Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur

SHALL be sorry to see the old Concrete Ship go, but one must move with the times, and all that. I was just saying that very thing to Kitchener, my faithful manservant, last week, as it happens, when we were upgrading the D’Catur Mansion’s security systems: “Kitchener,” I said, “one must move with the times, so get a move on and adjust the satellite link so the new Gatling guns can track incoming missiles and Shoebies up to 10 miles away.” Anyways, back to the Concrete Ship. I must admit it has of late been falling into a sad state of neglect, and some visitors to our city, seeing not the proud crippled ship we see, but a pile of rotting debris, have started to scoff at the idea that it stood alone against a “wolf pack” of German U-Boats, sinking all five and taking a brace of torpedoes in the process. So, the deal — brokered by the Editor of this very newspaper, who has business interests in Asia from his family’s part in the Opium Wars — to sell the hulk to the Chinese, makes sense. Those crafty

Orientals will raise the ship, carry out repairs in Cape May, and refit her as a helicopter carrier, The Spirit of Old Shanghai. In return, Cape May will receive an accurate replica of the ship just after it sank, which will be placed exactly where the original was, and will satisfy visitors for decades to come. Of course, that does open the door for our city to embark upon some ambitious sponsorship deals with other foreign powers: that powerhouse of European financial stability, Germany, has expressed interest

in restoring the boardwalk in its entirety, for the small return favor of renaming Congress Hall Hotel the Kaiser Wilhelm Guest Haus. And Disney is close to signing a deal to fund a billion-dollar refurbishment of the entire town center if we will agree to renaming it Cape May Land, and those locals who happen to live and work there will sign contracts requiring medieval costume at all times. There will of course be stocks (the wooden kind into which one’s head and hands are secured, in order to be pelted with rotten fruit, rather than the stocks and shares kind. Though we are drafting a law requiring all hedge fund fellows to spend an hour a day in those old-fashioned stocks), and a witch (or someone from Philly, whichever is closest to hand) will be burned every Wednesday. The only deal we have drawn the line at, and consider to be an erosion of all that Cape May is, involved Wildwood’s proposal that they pay us $500,000 annually in return for being spared our mocking and name-calling. Some things, dear friends, one simply cannot put a price on.

REAL BOOKS FOR REAL PEOPLE!

EACH week, Exit Zero ambushes an unsuspecting citizen (or citizens) with a gift certificate to the Cape Atlantic Book Company. This week’s recipient is Michael Harris from Wildwood, New Jersey. How old are you? 16. What were you doing when we interrupted? Shopping with my family. What did you do to your hand? I punched a wall. How has your day been? Eh, I had a doctor appointment. When kind of books do you like to read? I’m into fantasy. What is the last book you read? Percy Jackson, the third book from the second series! I can’t wait to read the next one; I’ve read them all so far. Have you seen the movie? Yes, but the book is way better. It is entertaining, though, and I heard there’s another one in production that will be released soon, so I’m excited about that, too. Interview by Gabi Urda PHOTO BY GABI URDA

The Answer Lady Wise answers to perplexing questions

HE Answer Lady invites inquiries from gentle readers on all manner of relationship quandaries, matters of the heart and ethics. If you’d like to send a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Dear Answer Lady I just got divorced and am about to face the first Valentine’s Day of my adult life without a significant other. Any suggestions on making it bearable would be appreciated. — Miss Lonely Heart Dear Miss The Answer Lady has counseled many uncoupled people who wish to be coupled over the years. Folks tend to get hyperfocused on something, when there are plenty of other things in the universe to divert us. Singletons, for instance, tend to focus on the fact that they are “alone,” rather than the fact that they are “healthy,” “alive,” “gainfully employed,” “not wanted by the authorities,” etc. Please insert something wonderful in your life that you have may have overlooked while you’ve been busy licking the wounds of your divorce. (And please, gentle reader, do

not think that the Answer Lady is attempting to minimize the trauma of your divorce. She is not. She is simply pointing out that wound-licking can be time-consuming, and time is the one thing that we don’t get more of in this life.) Another thing that one tends to forget whilst pining for romance is that love takes many forms. We are conditioned, especially around February 14, to think of love in its strictly romantic form. But surely you have love for other people, or even things. For instance, the Answer Lady

loves the doughnut muffins at the Depot Market Café. What do you love? A mani/ pedi? Having the remote to yourself? Figure out what brings you joy, and indulge. If you simply must have someone to snuggle with, consider a visit to Animal Outreach or the County Animal Shelter for a four-legged companion to adopt. There is no purer, simpler love than that of an animal who adores you, and no risk of remote-hogging. Dear Answer Lady My girlfriend and I are about to celebrate our first Valentine’s Day together. Our “special place” is Bliss Organic Ice Cream; we always ended our dates there. But they’re closed until spring! I need a back-up sweet tooth suggestion! — Sweetheart Dear Sweetheart Bliss reopens Easter weekend (51 days from today, not that the Answer Lady is counting). Get thee to Louisa’s Chocolate Bar! If you have not been, you are in for a dizzying array of confectionary delights. And if you wish to formally thank the Answer Lady, she is especially fond of the Bequet Salted Caramels.

2. Rates... Our rates are competitive with other local publications. And by locking into a year-round package you are guaranteed our absolute lowest rate possible in 2013! Plus eye catching ad design is included in our rates.

3. Clip Art Contest... We run a contest in every issue that is geared to get people looking at your ad. Here is what Jerry Kufta had to say about our Clip Art Contest... “I had to scour this issue five times before I found the clip art. It was very well placed since there are top Hats on the Mad Batter, the brown room and a couple more. You are getting tuff! Making us read all of the ads. You could tell those folks who buy the ads from you that I have found several restaurants that I never knew about. Also many places that offer so much. That’s what your clip art contest does... Good Job!”

4. Trade... We invest some of your advertising money in the form of gift certificates and use it to promote your business. It’s a win-win-win situation! Advertisers win because they save some money. Readers win because they can win some great prizes. Exit Zero wins because it gets an advertiser.

Activity Of The Week

A weekly column by Catherine Dugan. This week: Go roller skating

OLLER skating is back at Convention Hall, so why not take a spin? Roller skating fits right in with Cape May’s Victorian sensibility. The Dutch are credited with inventing roller skating in the 18th century, when they put spools on their ice skates so they could use them year ‘round. Skates with wheels in a straight line came next, in about 1819, but the skates could only proceed in a straight line. Wooden wheels were the most common, though rubber and metal were sometimes used. Four-wheeled skates which allowed turns were invented by James Plimpton in 1863, and public rinks sprang up. The possibility of interacting with members of the opposite sex — and literally “falling” in love — attracted young people. Then, as now, the chance to meet and hold hands for a song or two brought couples together. Roller skating’s popularity waxed and waned over the decades. In 1905, a newspaper in Texas wrote about “roller skating’s revival.” In the early part of the Great Depression, skating was an affordable pastime, and skate dancing competitions and

Roller skating is just how we roll in Cape May... at least since the reopening of Convention Hall has made it possible once again roller derby were common. Later, rock and roll — and plastic wheels — made skating new again. In the 1970s, disco gave the sport a boost; teenagers across America skated to Donna Summer, wearing lip gloss necklaces and hanging a comb out of one back pocket, waiting to chase down the boy who would steal it. In 1979, rollerblading made skating hip yet again, opening the sport up to extreme stunts. ESPN’s XGames in the 1990s featured

four roller skating events, but the last event was eliminated in 2005. Skate designers are working on rugged all-terrain skates, but for now, modern skaters can choose to take part in challenging public skating events, like the Pari Roller; show off their stunts on YouTube; or return to the rink. Skating burns about 400 calories per hour and works the muscles of the legs. Poor skaters get a better workout using their core muscles to maintain balance, and parents work out their arms when they teach their children to skate. Convention Hall offers roller skating with an ocean view. Admission is $5 for skaters, $2 for spectators. Bring extra money to get a snack in the solarium. Skaters under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. You can bring your own skates or rent skates for $2, blades for $4. Hours vary; check the website at capemayrecreation.org or call 609-8849526 for information. There are special events for toddlers and teens, and birthday parties are welcome. Gain a new appreciation on an old joke: What’s the hardest part about roller skating? The floor. Next Week: Go Antique Shopping

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal

Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 465-8923

YANKEE is an affable two-year-old blue American pit who came to the shelter because his owner’s new place does not allow dogs. A look at these eyes will melt your heart; he’s active AND affectionate. Bonus: Yankee is very good walking on a leash, he already knows “sit,” and he can go to a home with dogs and children over seven. Sounds like a home-run to us! (Terrible pun, great dog.) The adoption fee is $95.

TOOTSIE is a three-year-old, 35-pound pit mix who came to the shelter last October as a stray. She was a bit unruly then; now, she enjoys leisurely walks and giving affection to everyone. Tootsie is a skinny little girl who loves yummy treats for good behavior... she knows how to sit, wait, and watch her trainer. Occasionally, Toots doesn’t take to other dogs, but she will adjust to almost any family dynamic. $95.

DANTE is a three-year-old, 60-pound pit-mix who came to the shelter as a stray. He walks casually with a gentle leader harness, and he recently enjoyed an eightmile hike with the family of one of our volunteers, demonstrating his readiness for life as a family member. He is good at sitting, waiting or “leaving it” when commanded, but his happiest moments at the shelter are running in the yard with a tennis ball in his mouth. $95.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal

Three beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 465-8923

IRENE is a smaller, sweet, low-key middle-aged gal. She’d love to relax with you, sit on your lap for a while, and bring you boundless joy... no exaggeration. Never has falling in love been this easy; look at that expectant little face! Don’t let her down, or you’ll have the EZ team to answer to. The adoption fee is only $35.

RALPH — a 14-year-old, severely neglected cutie named after the character from Happy Days — is known as “the nicest cat” at the shelter. As if that’s not reason enough to adopt him... lovable, sociable Ralph is free for seniors over 62 years of age. So take him home and make him your buddy; otherwise, you’ll feel PANGS of GUILT!

SAMUEL has been waiting patiently at the shelter since October for his forever home. He came in a little scared, but he’s sweet and just loves attention. As with all shelter cats, Samuel (what a cute name, eh?) is up to date on all vaccines and neutered. And look! He’s smiling! While in a box! Does it get any cuter? The adoption fee is $70.

On December 13, at the 1860s era Southern Mansion, Access to Art presented a reading of the play “Bound for Truth” — done in conjunction with East Lynne Theater actors — about the former chancellor for Henry VIII, Sir Thomas More. He’s the guy who committed himself to the Tower of London by refusing to sign the oath that would make Henry head of both church and state. An introduction to the music of the court of Henry VIII was given by Dr. Burton Greenspan, formerly a professor at Rowan University, and a wine reception followed. PHOTOGRAPH BY ALEKSEY MORYAKOV...

And he’s teaching this introductory course on bird-watching. And he’s asked me to abrogate principle and promote this two-day workshop for him. Which I patently refused to do. First, because there’s nothing in it for me. Second, because I refuse to believe that anyone smart enough to read this highly acclaimed column would be dumb enough to pay money for something they can do for free. Like watch birds. But this certain individual, who has written ad nauseam on the subject of birds, bird finding, bird identification, and bird misidentification is also related to me. By birth. So rather than promote the course (which takes place on February 16 and 17), I’m going to tell you all the things you might have learned had you chosen to take it, thus saving

you money and me guilt. Accordingly, the first thing you will now not have to learn is how to find birds. Try this. Look left. Look right. See any birds? Precisely. Thank you for making my point. The reason you are not seeing any birds is because you are in the wrong place. The wrong place is defined as any place that

doesn’t have birds. The way to find birds is to go to the right place. The way to find out where that is, is to take a bird-finding course. Like the one you won’t be attending. The one that focuses upon habitats and how different species are tied to specific habitats and that is how you can tell a Swamp Sparrow from a Saltmarsh Sparrow by... Well, you guess, one likes swamps. One likes salt marsh. Simple, no? Now take Pine Warbler and Palm Warbler. Guess which one is found in pine trees? Right! Palm Warblers are found in... Well, actually they aren’t. Not commonly anyway. Not here, anyhow. The misnamed Palm Warbler, is actually fond of larch, which is kind of an evergreen that’s not. You see... sometimes, sometimes the trick to bird finding and bird identification is to know the exceptions to the rules. How do you gain this kind of rule-vault-

Bird Droppings ? From Page 83 ing insight? Easy. You spend a lifetime in the field studying birds or... You take a course like the one you are not going to take and have a lifetime worth of information handed to you in a package with a nice big bow around it. Or you can just skip the course and read the crib notes. And having distinguished yourself as an erudite sort, you have evidenced just one more reason why you are not going to waste money taking a course designed for beginning bird watchers. What? Did you ask how you find out more about the course? I suppose you can go online to birdcapemay.org and look up “School of Birding” for workshops. Can’t imagine why you’d want to, though. Birds are free. After you find and identify them. If you need help finding birds, you could stop over to the Cape May Bird Observatory... THE place for all your nature needs. CMBO, located at 701 East Lake Drive overlooking Lake Lily in Cape May Point (609-884-2736), is open Fridays and Saturdays from 9:30am to 4:30pm.

Which is a Pine Warbler and which is a Palm Warbler? Hard to tell, eh? Learn to tell the difference — and so much more — at the upcoming birding workshop. Or not... You can ask the staff for help, or just browse around. There’s so much to choose from — jewelry, fleece, jackets, hats, clothing, handpainted decorations, books by local authors, feeders… Even some special bargains in the used and vintage books section, some wonderful Charley Harper merchandise including a terrific lithograph done just for the Cape May Bird Observatory (which is FREE when you become a member), or pick up some of the newest HAWKS in Flight clothing for your wardrobe. If you can’t make it in person, you can

find a wealth of birding information online at BirdCapeMay.org. Or call 609-884-2736... we do mail order, too! Seymore Thanu is none other than New Jersey’s own Pete Dunne, Director of the Cape May Bird Observatory and Chief Communications Officer for New Jersey Audubon. Pete uses his talents and energy to make the natural world real for others. Author of several books on and about nature (available at CMBO) he weaves information, insight and even fantasy into a net that captures minds and hearts. He has written for virtually every birding publication and for The New York Times.

« FUN FACT... We called Sue Wichterman, Vice-President of the Garden Club, for some winter tips. She liaised with the rest of the group, and got back to us with these helpful hints: 1. Now is the time to start browsing your seed and plant catalogues for ideas for your 2013 gardens. Don’t know of any? Try Burpee or Burgess. 2. Force an early bloom of quince, forsythia, and azalea branches by cutting them on a warmer winter’s day and putting them in warm water. “They’ll brighten up a room in the middle of winter,” Sue said. 3. Mark your calendars for the club’s flower show — Victorian Pastime: The Way It Was — at Convention Hall on April 30. “We’re researching flower arrangements the way they were in Victorian times,” Sue said. “The hall will be dressed up like it never will be again.”

« FUN FACT... Cuttin’ Edge manager Diane Roque has been doing hair for 20 years, and in that time, she’s seen people make a lot of beauty mistakes. (The Cuttin’ Edge crew has had to correct more than a handful of at-home dye-jobs gone wrong.) She’s also had to do a bit of damage control on over-stressed hair. An easy tip for protecting your own tresses? “Let it air-dry for a bit before you blow-dry,” she says. How long should you wait? The amount of time it takes to apply your make-up and get dressed should be just right.
