The eight-year reign of King Ed has to end

C

ape May is naturally a quiet and gentle place... it’s one of the things that draws people here and it’s why it’s such a pleasure to live here yearround, as I happily do. But in the last couple years, America’s Original Seaside Resort has become a somewhat noisy place.

Verbal mudslinging, angry lawsuits being filed and challenged, character assassinations being unleashed in public.

Sounds like that political Punch and Judy show Clinton and Trump has moved into our midst, right? And that’s a terrible thing.

Cape May has become, in short, a lawyers’ paradise. Which is also a terrible thing.

Want to know why this has happened to this little city by the sea? Because it’s been run for the last eight years by a man who, even his allies admit, has an obsession with being in power. And whenever anyone crosses Mayor Ed Mahaney, he seems to relish the conflict.

Which is why City Hall has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal fees in the last couple years.

Not HIS dollars... YOUR dollars.

Right now, there are two lawsuits pending — from Rob Sheehan, the man the city demoted from police chief to captain in what I have long described as a witch hunt; and from Joe Carney, who claims (I would say with good reason) that the city unfairly targeted his business, Carney’s, the oceanfront bar and restaurant.

And all the time, this mayor has been preaching about how he’s the man who has the interests of the taxpayers at heart.

Like many of the things Mahaney says, I don’t believe that’s true. And that is why Exit Zero is calling for the eight-year reign of Mahaney to end this Tuesday, November 8.

In his place, the voters have the opportunity to elect Chuck Lear, a very capable, very experienced, very affable former lieutenant in Cape May Police Department. Lear is, I believe, a man who can heal the many wounds that have been opened in Cape May during the

Ramblings From The Editor mayor election special Mahaney reign.

There are many people on this island who have much to offer this city — there used to be advisory committees which tapped the talent and experience of these people. We’re talking about architects, engineers, doctors, financial analysts, marketing and hospitality experts, artists... and, yes, maybe even journalists, too.

But Mahaney doesn’t want help. He wants to run his train set without any interference.

He often boasts that he works 60-hour weeks at City Hall, and this is something he probably IS being truthful about.

But we don’t need (or want) the mayor to work 60-hour weeks. In fact, it’s in direct contravention of the Faulkner Act, a system of government that Cape May voted for, a system that puts a City Manager in charge of running the place.

As I’ve said many, many times in these pages, Cape May’s City Manager Bruce MacLeod has never properly held that position. Instead, he has allowed Mahaney to run the city. That’s a brazen breach of municipal law.

As a result, Cape May has suffered. Look at Convention Hall. One day, I trust we will find out just how much money that building has lost the taxpayers.

But it didn’t need to be this way. If Mahaney’s administration had asked for the input of professional marketing and hospitality people, they would have learned that the city could have paid for the building many times over if they had inc0rporated the facilities required to host highly lucrative weddings and corporate events. As constructed, Convention Hall is wholly incapable of this.

Also ask yourself why neither the Exit Zero Jazz Festival headline concerts nor the TEDx Cape May conference are held there.

The answer is that the auditorium at our local

high school is far superior to the supposedly purpose-built Convention Hall. What a waste.

The Convention Hall design did not go out to bid — it was awarded to a firm of architects run by a Temple University graduate. The firm, Kimmel-Bogrette, was also responsible for the design of Temple’s practice football field and student center, renovations of the law school, and a university fieldhouse and greenhouse.

They had never before designed an oceanfront building.

Why do I mention Temple? It’s Mahaney’s alma mater, and it appears to have benefited very well from this connection.

In 2009, Temple’s Department of Landscaping Architecture and Horticulture was paid $48,500 by the city to come up with new designs for local parks. All hypothetical stuff.

And no professional landscape companies were given the chance to bid for the work.

In 2012, Wells Appel, run by an adjunct professor at Temple, was hired, at a cost of $14,875, to do Convention Hall’s landscaping design work. Local contractors weren’t given the opportunity to bid. And some of you might recall just how mediocre that landscaping work turned out.

Also in 2012, Temple presented the results of a two-year study on tourism in this town.

A study that cost $53,000. What did we learn?

Absolutely nothing we didn’t already know.

At the time, Harry Bellangy of the Taxpayers’ Association, memorably told us, “The PowerPoint presentation by a Temple consultant looked like it was done in the back seat of someone’s car on the way to Cape May.” Interesting that Tony Monzo, the City Attorney whose legal firm has benefited more than anyone from Mahaney’s reign, is also a Temple graduate — he started working for the city in 1999, when Mahaney was on council.

Nothing against Temple — it’s a good school and its proximity means that of course it will have ties to Cape May. But when the school is awarded contracts that don’t go out to bid, and when the returns have been so mea-

ger, you have to wonder.

But I think the biggest blight on Mahaney’s reign has been the damage wreaked upon Cape May Police Department. In 2014, Rob Sheehan took over as this city’s Chief of Police, receiving a ringing endorsement from Mahaney, who called him “a man of intelligence, dedication and commitment.”

A year later, Sheehan was demoted from his post, and the people of this city have never been given a good reason for it. Instead, they have watched as the city dragged not only Sheehan through the mud but his then deputy, Chuck Lear.

The city took thousands of dollars of

YOUR money and gave it to a retired police major and told him to investigate Lear’s use of compensatory time. I’ve written about this more than enough, but suffice to say, the city were paying out lots of money to have information they already knew — Lear had been working the same arrangement under Sheehan as he had for a decade under former chief Diane Sorantino.

The city went for 18 months without a chief. And then, in September, they promoted Tony Marino, who had served as an officer for 25 years without rising above the rank of sergeant — indeed, the city changed its rules specifically for Marino, allowing him to make

the leap from sergeant to chief, bypassing the ranks of lieutenant and captain.

Marino had already planned to retire form the force but did a U-turn when he heard about the rule change. He’s seen by many as a puppet of Mahaney, promoted beyond his abilities and experience, in return for being a dutiful servant to the mayor.

His apparent devotion to the mayor was in evidence last week when he dispatched a police officer to the offices of the Cape May Star and Wave, ordering them to put back a lawn sign for Mahaney that the newspaper had removed. The sign had been placed near the Star and Wave’s office sign — highly inappropriate, I think most of us would agree. In the end, Mahaney came out and removed the sign, possibly embarrassed by the controversy that had boiled over that day.

You may also recall an incident this summer, when Mahaney demanded that officers apprehend a photographer who was innocently taking pictures of Cape May beach — Mahaney had wrongly (and bizarrely) claimed the photographer was taking photos of children. It was an unsavory business and another indication that Mahaney is out of control.

If you believe that the police department should not be at the beck and call of a trumped-up council member (because that’s all the mayor’s position actually is), you should not be voting for Ed Mahaney.

Yes, there have been positives to Mahaney’s thirst for power. His local and regional political connections came in handy when Cape May applied for grants. The new Rotary Park was a beneficiary of this (though it also owes a great deal to the fundraising and cheerleading abilities of local businessmen).

But Cape May deserves better than this. It deserves an administration that fosters teamwork, that welcomes new ideas, that doesn’t see them as a threat. And most of all it deserves an administration that operates in full view, that tells you exactly how it is spending YOUR money and doesn’t use the law to prevent that information from being made public.

Honestly, I hope this is the last rancorous Ramblings I write. This stuff is tiring and enervating — so much negativity is bad for the soul.

I think that Chuck Lear brings the promise of a new start for this beautiful place, and I hope you will agree.

And yes, there is also a council seat up for grabs on November 8. Tricia Hendricks and Zack Mullock are very different candidates, but I believe each can bring something to the table, so I will be sitting solidly on the fence on this one. Good luck to them both, and good luck to Cape May. Here’s to a new beginning!

The Old Fogey

W

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

e shall not talk of Hallowe’en again. I know we are all in equal measure embarrassed and contrite over the explosion in the wee small hours that scattered chunks of pumpkin and at least two Wildwooders over a large part of the city. Of course, it wouldn’t have happened if our lanterns had been carved from the traditional turnips (a Scotch tradition: more and more I wonder at the identity of our absent father, Jock McD’Catur) rather than 3,000lbs of mushy pumpkin: turnips are small, hard and cheerless and the mere act of hewing the inside out leaves a grown man weak.

Pumpkins, on the other hand, are soft as an Englishman (as Ma used to say... hmm, there’s a theme here but I can’t quite grasp it) and virtually carve themselves, leaving the creative and drunken Hallowe’en-ers time and energy to, say, think it would be amusing and spectacular to stuff the insides with gunpowder, and then stand around slackjawed as the fuse burned down.

But no more: I doubt we will ever we scrub the stench from our rooftops and pavements, and I fear more that those empty-headed Wildwooders, who regained what passes for consciousness in their ilk and staggered away bumping fists and shouting “duuuuuuude! Best ride ever!” and vowing to make it “#1” on the Wildwood Party Calendar next year (I, too, am puzzled as to how they managed to pronounced the hashtag symbol). Obviously, we will blow the bridges on October 30 next year, but they are a cunning lot, and have in the past been

known to pop up out of drains, giving Cape May the apperance of a giant wack-a-mole game.

Anyway, we are done. Our focus now needs to be on Thanksgiving. Obviously I have mixed feelings on that day: I did after all counsel against assisting the settlers: “They’re not to be trusted,” I said, “look at their pale faces and shifty eyes! They will take our food, then before we know it there will be strange self-propelled metal carriages running all over our land, and vast boxes full of fat people and cheap unnutritious food.

“Also, check out the blankets they’ve given us... is that a scab in one? I’m not wrapping myself in THAT!” Obviously I had a touch of what granny called The Gift, that very same preternatual sense that shortly after had me quietly assume the identity of a white fop of means. We’ve always had a knack of being on the winning side, us D’Caturs. Except at The Alamo. And Waterloo. And possibly Culloden, if my suspicions are correct

The Activity Column

O

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, Sherlock Holmes

h, the conundrum that is Sherlock Holmes. He is a man of science.

When he calls something “elementary,” we suspect it is with a firm understanding of Mendeleev’s periodic table, set out in 1869. Yet Holmes is a man of his time, a product of the Victorian age, when wondrous, invisible discoveries are made with startling frequency. Microscopic germs are identified as the cause of monstrous diseases. Messages are unseen as they travel telegraph wires and connect the world, bringing staggering social change.

Images are captured without the need for artist or paint. Would it be surprising if Sherlock, like his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, were to believe in connecting with people in the afterlife?

Should you meet him on the streets of Cape May this weekend, Sherlock Holmes could confirm that it is possible to see a blue butterfly in New Jersey in October and tell you its likely genus and species. He could likely calculate the wait time at the most popular restaurants in town. He might appreciate the

modern street surfaces, and tell you why electric street lights are more efficient than Victorian gaslight. Yet some modern mysteries would confound the great consulting detective. How do you refer to the best invention in a long time if your story ends before Otto Frederick Rohwedder and the bread slicer?

How can you predict the location of half of all socks if your creator dies a decade before the invention of the dryer? How do you explain the popularity of Justin Bieber if the nation of Canada was still a teenager when you got your start?

Thanks to his arrogance, Holmes would

have no trouble explaining why Nick Carter, his contemporary in the world of fictional detectives, doesn’t enjoy his level of fame.

That’s why Holmes would likely work with the Manhattan-based creation of John Russell Coryell, as long as he retained top billing.

The Detectives Holmes and Carter radio plays are back at the East Lynne Theater Company for their eleventh year, playing Friday and Saturday, November 4 and 5, at 8. The show opens with The Adventure of the Red-Headed League, in which Sherlock Holmes must learn why Ezekiah Hopkins, of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, left money in his will to start a club for only men with red hair. The script is adapted by Gayle Stahlhuth from Conan Doyle’s story. The Voice of Crime pits the mysterious Vox against Nick Carter, using the original 1943 script written

by Walter Gibson and Edward Gruskin. Lee O’Connor and Mark Edward Lang take on the title roles, with five more actors of playing multiple parts. Old-time sound effects, commercials, and radio magic bring the stories to life. Tickets are $27. There’s a discount for students and the military, under-12 are free.

The Answer Lady

T

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. Or, simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate the wisdom herein.

Dear Answer Lady My daughter is 12 and very active with dance lessons, field hockey and girl scouts.

Now she wants to take piano lessons and I think it might be too much but I hate to discourage her. I must say, she takes it all it very seriously. Never misses a practice or a meeting. We do have a piano in the house that no one but me plays — and I use the term “play” loosely. Also, I have an autistic son who loves to “play” as well. What would you do, Answer Lady? – Keyed Up Dear Keyed Up The Answer Lady feels anyone who wants to make music should be encouraged.

And it appears you agree, since your question seems more an argument in favor of piano lessons. Learning how to play an instru-

Wise answers to perplexing questions

ment is like learning a language — both are good for the brain. It also seems someone on the keys will bring the family together in a very good way. Now, to celebrate, take the whole family to the Nature Center of Cape May. There is always something going on there on weekends but Sunday, November 6 is Astronomy on the Beach. Just show up at the Pavilion on the promenade at 8pm. Your star guide will walk you out to the Cove and teach you about the stars and the moon. The perfect inspiration for an aspiring musician.

Dear Answer Lady My husband and three-year-old daughter and I usually spend Thanksgiving with my stepmother and father, who live in Cape May. We live in Philadelphia. They don’t know it, but my husband and I have separated and I don’t want to tell them. I don’t know why. I guess because they like my husband so much. Or maybe because I want to pretend one last time that everything is all right. My husband agreed to come but do you think it’s right? I plan to tell them, just not right now. — Embarrassed Dear Embarrassed The Answer Lady suspects that admitting that you and your husband have separated is admitting it to yourself and maybe you are not ready. It is up to you and your husband if you both feel like attending. You should still tell your father and stepmother beforehand. It will take the tension away, from you at least. Perhaps instead of eating dinner at their home, you should consider eating out. Several local restaurants are open for the holiday. Try to enjoy the moment.

Clarence “Chuck”

LEAR for mayor of cape may

Lifelong resident with an unshakeable commitment

Former Cape May Mayors Endorse Chuck Lear Three former Cape May Mayors who served the City most recently announced their united and unilateral endorsement of mayoral candidate Clarence “Chuck” Lear. Lear is challenging incumbent, Ed Mahaney, for the post.

Former Mayors Jerry Inderwies, Sr., Robert Elwell and Jerry Gaffney were unanimous in their support of Lear, a long-time public servant who is a political newcomer.

Vote Column #1 on November 8 to bring back

STRONG CORE VALUES To Our City Government

They previously have expressed their individual and collective dismay at the divisiveness that seems to mark Cape May’s public discourse.

The three mayors agreed that Lear’s 37-year career in the Cape May Police Department would serve him well in terms of understanding the community, its history and traditions, its needs and resources, and its vision for the future.

Lear noted his deep humility at the endorsement of the respected former mayors.

He expressed appreciation for their confidence in him saying, “I am eager

to serve Cape May in the most effective way possible so I welcome their knowledge and guidance.”

Lear retired as a Lieutenant in the Cape May Police Department in December and, at the urging of local residents, decided to run for Mayor to restore the integrity of the Council-Manager form of government in which the City Manager is the chief executive officer.

There is broad confidence in Lear’s demeanor and leadership qualities and the expectation that he will bring collegiality and teamwork back to City operations.

ENDORSED BY CAPE MAY COUNTY CHIEFS OF POLICE ASSOCIATION

“The members of Cape May County Chiefs of Police Association have full confidence in Clarence Lear to serve the residents of Cape May in an ethical manner and follow all regulations, laws and Attorney Guidelines while performing the duties of Mayor of the City of Cape

Cape May City Council Vote Column #1

« TRICIA « HENDRICKS Three Former Cape May Mayors Endorse Tricia Hendricks for City Council

‘’Our city, more than ever, needs Tricia Hendricks on City Council. She consistently demonstrates her interest and commitment to Cape May by keeping informed on issues and regularly attending City Council and committee meetings. Unlike others, she understands all the issues the City is facing and is ready to discuss them in detail. She knows about our challenges from bike safety to beach safety, from Convention Hall to Franklin Street School. She is also on top of the seemingly out-of-control legal expenses that take up more of our tax dollars each year. Tricia believes in due diligence, not due process, as the first step in City deliberations.

“Tricia continues to be a spitfire — bold on our behalf and compassionate in our interests — unafraid to voice her feelings and to represent the citizenry of Cape May. I urge all voters to join me and my wife Jane in voting for Patricia Gray Hendricks for City Council on November 8.”

Robert W. Elwell, Sr. mayor emeritus “Patricia Gray Hendricks is the real deal. Her qualifications to serve on City Council include her knowledge, skills and ability and most importantly the fact that she will listen and hear, discuss and speak out in our best interests. She will study the issues and be prepared to vote on them and she will explain the reasons for her vote.

“After another year of divisiveness on Council and disappointment in Council, it is time to elect a person who respects and understands the people of Cape May and the political process. Tricia is the person who can put public discourse and decision-making back on the right path. We can stop Council’s shenanigans. Let’s not miss this opportunity. I urge the people of Cape May to join with me and Mary Ann to support and elect Patricia Gray Hendricks on November 8.’’

William G. Gaffney

mayor emeritus

“To ensure the solid future of Cape May, we need Patricia Gray Hendricks, an accomplished leader, who demonstrates her commitment by being an ever present voice of reason, understanding and compassion. Thanks to Tricia’s persistence proposed resolutions have been published prior to Council meetings. She quickly and thoroughly analyzes illusive and confusing budget items and raises pertinent questions about them. Tricia’s commitment to all of our citizens includes her concern for the well-being our seniors, youngsters and families, and for proper facilities for our Police and Fire Departments, for achieving beach preservation and beach safety, for ensuring uniform enforcement of City Ordinances and for sustaining our traditions even as we grow our City.

“I sincerely urge you to join Lydia and me on November 8 by casting your vote for Tricia. A vote for Tricia is a vote that guarantees that your voice will be heard.”

Bird Droppings

ape May’s success as a birdwatching destination can be traced to the promotional efforts of Cape May Bird Observatory and more recently to the growing number of resident birders who freely share their insights and skills with visitors.

But only recently have I come to understand the pivotal role that the hawk watch platform plays in making the Cape May experience so special. The platform, at Cape May Point State Park, is the social nucleus, the place everyone gathers to share bird sightings, compare restaurants, make friends, renew old acquaintances, and raise eyebrows over this or that rare bird report. It is, in short, the corner hangout for locals and visitors.

No two days are ever the same. Conversation hinges as much upon the chemistry of the crowd as the driving topics of the day. “Hey, did you hear they’re going to split American and European northern harrier?”

You know, weighty topics like that.

The seasonal cadre of interpretive naturalists on the platform take pains to make

everyone feel welcome, with those not wearing binoculars particularly favored for a round of genial gladhanding.

And while there might be 50 conversations progressing at any time, the cry of “Golden eagle over the lighthouse!” brings all to their feet and ushers in a spell of silence marred only by shouted pleas of “Where?”

To be followed by “Wow!” Search the world over, ain’t nuthin’ beats “Wow!” But even if a golden eagle doesn’t grace you with a fly-by, be assured there will be

plenty of other raptors to savor. Cooper’s Hawks dominate the afternoon sky, while Bunker Pond is carpeted with waterfowl of half a dozen species, all with eyes on the sky.

When the ducks take off, it’s time to look up. There’s an eagle up there.

I have heard from some visitors that the platform can be intimidating, filled as it is with local and visiting experts; people who write the guides others are using. Relax.

Shared interest, not skill, is the coin of tribute among birders. You bring the enthusiasm, Cape May provides the birds. The platform is just the mechanism that brings ambition and a success together.

Me? I strive to get to the platform two or three times a week. Northwest winds are almost certain to ferry me to Cape May where I’ll raise glasses besides old and new friends at the Raptor Capital of North America.

But if you come just for the conversation, or to find out who makes the best cheese steak in town that’s fine, too.

Where? Where? Where? Sorry you’ll have to go to the platform to learn that.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal

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

CINDY was in a home for eight years with a family that loved and cared for her. She got treats, hugs and nice long walks. But everyone grew older, the kids had kids and moved away. Cindy is a a bit older now and has a little less pep in her step. Give this old lady another chance to live out her golden years in a nice home and adopt today!

BEAN is a very cute little girl who is quite new to the shelter. In her previous home she lived with kids and another dog and got along swimmingly. Speaking of swimming, Bean loves the kiddie pools we have at the shelter.

She could play and lay in them all day! If you want this playful pup to be a new addition to your family stop by the shelter today!

BULLY is a three year old cane corso mix. He is the perfect age-beyond the puppy antics but young enough to want to play and take long walks. He is a strong boy but walks nicely on the leash and will give you his attention when asked. Bully can be selective with other dogs because he would prefer all the attention! Give Bully a chance and adopt!
