Talk Of The Town GOINGS-ON AND GOSSIP IN AMERICA’S ORIGINAL SEASIDE RESORT

A Friend In Need Jim Wright is the “type of guy who would really do anything for you,” according to Jim’s friend, Rob Lundholm of Lundholm Landscaping.

Jim discovered Cape May when he was stationed here as a member of the Coast Guard. He fell in love with the town, as well as a local girl named Christa Jones, who would become his wife. Jim settled here, where he wowed locals with his knack for making beautiful furniture, got a job managing the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May, and volunteered with the fire department.

He didn’t stay for good, though — Jim and Christa moved to Millville, NJ, then to Florida, and eventually to be with his family in Michigan, where Jim’s brother died from cancer a couple of years ago. But Jim left quite an impression on the folks here, who know him as a simple, honest guy who loves his family dearly.

Which goes to show, sometimes really terrible things happen to really good people.

Recently, Jim — a not-yet-50-yearold father of four young children who likes BB King and currently works at Lowe’s — was diagnosed with Stage 4 myoepithelial carcinoma, a terminal disease as rare as it sounds.

And once again, Cape May is preparing to rally around one of its own.

Not only has a page been established in Jim’s name on gofundme.com, in order to raise money that will offset medical expenses — at press time, $1,970 had been raised in just 13 days — a beef and beer will happen at the Cape May VFW from noon to 4pm this Sunday, December 8. Tickets are $20 at the door, and include a meal of hot roast beef, meatballs and salad, as well as live FRIDAY 12/6: Showers High 50 Low 40 / Sunrise 7:04 Sunset 4:38

A group of around 120 volunteers packaged more than 19,000 meals in a magnificent effort to help the hungry at Tabernacle United Methodist Church. See story on page 4. Aleksey Moryakov

entertainment from Carl Behrens.

“There’s bound to be some ribbing, too,” Rob said. “Jim is a Detroit fan, and Detroit is playing the Eagles this day.”

Come out, show your support, and remember what makes this town so great.

Talking Turkey There’s a new street gang in town.

Actually, it’s not a gang, but a rafter — that’s the word for a group of domesticated turkeys. The Stimpson Lane crew is comprised of nine large birds, according to flock owner and Stimpson resident Danielle Volpe. With names like Jimmy Dean, Stofer, and Butterball you might not think these guys are intimidating enough to rule the West Cape May roost, but you’d be wrong — you’re not driving to Broadway via Stimpson unless the gang decides it’s okay.

“The worst thing you can do is honk,” Danielle told us about the last turkeycreated traffic jam (a three-car back-up) in West Cape May. “They’ll sound off and surround your car.”

We’ve seen Butterball and his cohorts turn a growling, barking EZ puppy into a defeated scaredy-cat just by pufffing their feathers, after said dog dared venture from his own yard and onto Danielle’s front porch. And we did catch wind of an incident involving the turkey gang and a teacup belonging to neighbor Sue Lotozo of Flying Fish. “We have turkey time-outs,” Danielle said.

But for the most part, the birds aren’t mischievous — just really adorable.

“The white-breasted whites are the traditional meat turkeys,” Danielle said, when we asked how these guys had managed to escape inevitable turkey

fate on Thanksgiving. “That was their original purpose but, well… they’re just so cute.” Especially when they come knocking on Danielle’s door because she’s inside baking and the birds want to say hello.

Apparently, the turkeys also wanted to say hello during Cape Fitness’ Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day. These guys really did trot the greater portion of Stimpson Lane with the runners, even though they rarely venture more than two doors down. “They’ve very curious,” Danielle said. Event participant Kashi Davis of Cape Island Runners captured the whole thing on video (check it out on EZ’s Facebook page) which NBC 40 later aired.

Like the goats, pigs, and four dogs that share the property, the turkeys are pets. “We got them for fun,” Danielle said. That they happen to scare away the hawks which prey on the chickens which provide the eggs you can buy from Danielle and her father? That’s just a great bonus.

So keep your eyes peeled the next

time you’re driving down Stimpson, and don’t get your feathers ruffled (womp, womp) if you spot a gang member on the street.

Crushing Hunger A crowd of at least 120 turned up at Tabernacle United Methodist Church on November 26 to package meals for Stop Hunger Now, the international hunger relief agency that distributes food to starving people across the globe. Their mission? Put an end to hunger in our lifetime. Sound impossible? Since 1998, they’ve sent over 125 million meals to 65 countries.

When the church held this event last year, it was a great success — 12,500 life-saving meals were packaged in one hour. But that total was obliterated this year. In just 60 minutes, volunteers packaged 19,224.

“It was awesome,” said church member Melissa Shultz. Equally awesome?

Melissa is in the process of forming a group to kick-start community involvement and create a platform for meeting new friends. Although the home base will be Tabernacle United Methodist, on Seashore Road, members of any and every denomination are welcome. “Bring your kids, your parents, your grandparents,” Melissa said.

Details, including the group name, are still being hammered out, but there are already some exciting events on tap, including a family cookie exchange happening December 20. Check out Tabernacle UMC on Facebook for more info.

The Movie Column

I

T WAS an impromptu getaway for three Cape May Film Society members to watch and weigh in on a new film in theaters. These three members planned to attend a matinee because one had a physical therapy session in the morning, another had a mammogram scheduled, and the third had to prep for a colonoscopy. Meet the target audience for Last Vegas, a buddy film about four boyhood friends who have kept in touch with each other over the past 50 years.

The film was written by Dan Fogelman who scripted Crazy Stupid Love (2011), Tangled (2010), and Cars (2006). All of these told great stories so we all we were planning to have a good time. The story begins when Billy (played by Michael Douglas) invites his buddies Archie, played by Morgan Freeman, and Sam, played by Kevin Kline, to come to his wedding in Las Vegas. They agree and can’t wait to kick up their heels as far as those over 65 can kick.

Watching Freeman and Kline start their adventure toward Vegas is worth the

Dottie Knapp reviews “Last Vegas”

Four old buddies reunite in Last Vegas price of admission. Before they get on the road, they need to stop in Brooklyn and pick up the last member of the Flatbush Four, Paddy, played by Robert De Niro. He is languishing in deep depression over the death of his wife and he is still angry with Billy over an event some time in the past.

Reluctantly he agrees to go.

Once in Vegas, old rivalries return and

bonds that were broken are mended. Old friends remain the best. They are the ones that can tell you marrying a woman half your age probably isn’t going to be your best decision and remind you that “you’re not dead yet”. Las Vegas is not as they remember it, but they quickly find their feet and enjoy what it is.

Will anyone under 45 enjoy this film?

We movie buffs of a certain age say no question — anyone at any age can enjoy.

If nothing else you youngsters can watch Dean, played by Jerry Ferrara, learn a lot from his elders — see the results and LEARN! Besides, if you are lucky, you will reach old age and can only hope you do it with the grace and wit that the Flatbush Four exude. It is nice to see that age does not define you and that life does go on.

We encourage you to join the Cape May Film Society. Membership is always free, and you will have a chance to join friends new and old at the theater or at Cape May Film Society events.

The Old Fogey

I

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

WAS reading something fascinating in my magazine the other day. I subscribe to The Superior Chap’s Journal and devour it from cover to cover, learning everything from “how to tie a bow tie using only your tongue”, to “ten tips to make foreplay last a decade”. Most of this I know, having been that publication’s Africa Correspondent for many years until a run-in with some head-shrinking cannibals led to my hat size dropping by a half.

So, I was reading their “100 NewFangled Things To Worry About in 2014” feature, and among them was Ancestral DNA testing. Now, I am all for family trees, but think that sometimes mystery is best preserved. Take Cape May, for example: a close-knit community, many of whose families have been here for centuries. And when in that community you have, say, an older gentleman whose good looks and virility have made him an object of fascination for generations of young ladies, well then those family trees might have a certain, um, how to put this, common thread running through

them. One that upon casual inspection is not obvious, other than a greate-than-average number of “you look like….” observations in the street. But one that DNA testing might reveal to be rather specific… I see that I am not being clear enough. Let me be blunter: if your family has lived in Cape May for more than one generation, there is a 25 per cent chance that I am your grandfather. Add 15 per cent per generation and you arrive at the staggering and flattering statistic that I am definitely your great grandfather five times

removed. You have, if I may be so rude, some of me in you. Or at least your great-greatgreat-great-great granny did.

That is no bad thing: it means you have less chance of baldness, better eyesight, a better posture and rather striking eyes.

Also you are as a result part Spanish, Hun, Byzantine, Persian, Viking and Welshman.

But I would rather that our city’s secret was not so widely known that we ourselves all ended up in the pages of The Superior Chap’s Journal under the headline “The City That Jackson Spawned” or “The Most Beautiful People in America”. After all, we are a modest people, who fiercely guard or privacy and numerous indiscretions. The last thing we need is an influx of ladies seeking to be given the gift of some powerful D’Catur DNA: even diluted, that is a powerful draft.

Right, I am off to finish reading: I see an intriguing piece under the headline “Yorkshire Terriers: The Dogs That Will Rule The World (If We Let Them, And Why We Should Not)” and see Young Albert lurking with menace in his little eyes.

Give your Fall some flavor!

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 have an infant daughter, and I’m so excited about her first Christmas. But what about Christmas cards? Of course I want to feature her, dressed in her cute little elf pajamas. But all I can think about is all of the cards I’ve received in years past, featuring the beautiful children of friends and family that I just….threw away. Not only am I guilt-stricken, I’m wondering if staging the perfect Christmas card so the recipients can toss them in the trash is not a total waste of time and effort. — Mama Elf Dear Mama Settle yourself, dear.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal

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

«

HUNTER is a friendly, happy dog who loves people. He is a recent graduate of the CLASS training program and is reliable, with many obedience commands Hunter is also very good at politely meeting people without jumping on them.

He is a very mannerly pooch. Hunter loves playing in water and loves to fetch. If Hunter sounds like a good match for you, stop on in and give him a chance.

«

PENNY is a cute and sweet girl who can be the perfect couch potato but also likes to play games like fetch. She knows how to greet people politely without jumping, to walk nicely without pulling on the leash, and much more. Plus, she is very affectionate. Affectionate with manners, a sense of humor, brains, and beauty, what more could you ask for in a lifelong best friend.

PERSONAL AD Sexy, Single Ad Looking for that Special Advertiser.

«

BARNABY is a very energetic pit bull terrier who just loves to play with his toys. He is a little possessive, so it would be best to be in a home without children. He is also very social, but he he needs some work on my manners. If Barnaby sounds like a good fit for you, stop on in the shelter and give him a second chance. He is up to date on all vaccines, neutered, and the adoption fee is only $35.

Activity Of The Week

This week: Where to have Breakfast with Santa. By Catherine Dugan.

H

AVING breakfast together is a great way to connect.

For little kids, giggling over pancakes in their pajamas proves your sleepover was a success. For young adults, sharing coffee and the newspaper with your parents reminds you what “home” feels like. And for couples, sharing breakfast is a sign that things are going very well. Santa sees you when you’re sleeping, so show him you care by sharing a meal when you wake up.

When Santa got his start, breakfast wasn’t even a thing. In the fourth century, only gluttons ate more than one meal a day.

It wasn’t until the 17th century that eating in the morning became common. Santa works nights, so you can be sure that he appreciated this development. He looks like the kind of guy who enjoys a hearty breakfast, and since some of you — okay, some of US — need some last-minute lobbying to get onto the Nice list, breakfast may be the best time to approach him. Thanks to his Christmas magic, you can visit Santa Claus at several locations in town. See him at

Eating with the man in red at Congress Hall Harbor View on Saturday, December 7, from 9am to 11am. Reservations are suggested — call (609) 884-5444. Or bring your Christmas list to Aleathea’s Breakfast-with-Santa buffet at the Inn of Cape May, on December 7 and 14 at 10am — cost for children is $10, adults $15. For more information, call 609884-5404 or 800-275-4278 At Congress Hall, Santa will be in the

ballroom with his friend Blue the pig. Join them on December 7, 14 and 21, at 8:30am and 10:30am — $15.95 plus tax for adults and $9.95 for children ages 4-12. Children ages 3 and under are free, probably because babies are automatically Nice. Reservations are strongly recommended — call 609884-8422. After breakfast, you can sit with Mrs Claus in the workshop for story time at 10am and noon. All little elves are welcome to these complimentary sessions on December 7, 14, and 21.

Cap off the day with a train ride around the Winter Wonderland at Congress Hall and you can get some shopping done at the same time.

Those of you who think Santa should be watching his weight may prefer to bond with him over shopping. Stop by to see Father Christmas on Saturdays from noon to 2pm in December, at the General Store in Historic Cold Spring Village. While you put in a good word with him, you can find unusual gifts for the people on your Nice list.

KEMLYN PEARSON, daughter of Charmaine and Bert, resides in the Villas, the middle child of four. Pearson is very involved in LCMR, being an active member in Key Club, a supportive cheerleader for the boys’ basketball team, an important player on the lacrosse field, and especially the field hockey field.

Sixteen-year-old Pearson began playing field hockey her sophomore year, volunteering to be the goalie. She helped the Lady Tigers succeed, helping them qualify for the state tournament, even when she was forced to give up her position as goalie and become a member on the field this year. Pearson enjoyed the move, saying that “the perspective on the field is much different than in the cage; I have a lot of pressure put on me.” There was no pressure, though, when she was moved to the position of “cherry picker” for the Tigers. Once Pearson scored her first goal, Coach Amy Hoch knew she made the right decision. Pearson’s goals for her senior year include improving her field hockey skills. She also hopes to attend Salisbury University or North Carolina State where she will major in communications and hopefully play lacrosse at the club level.
