Doggone Cute On The Promenade September is arguably the best month here for a number of reasons — cooler weather, less humidity, fewer crowds and an explosion of four-legged cuteness on the promenade. Last Saturday, the annual Mutt Strut featured the cutest parade of good boys and girls along Beach Avenue you've ever seen, plus a pet trick and costume contest. And the whole furry fete benefited the Beacon Animal Rescue nokill nonprofit rescue in Upper Township. The consensus? It was a doggone good time! No bones about… (had to do it.) Scott and Synda Willand with Kylo and Leia. More photos next week.

SOME INTERESTING CAPE MAY TRIVIA AND FUN FACTS
Weird Sea Creature
The tiburonia granrojo, or “big red” jellyfish, was discovered in 2011 by scientists at Monterey Bay Aquarium who describe it as “a big, red spaceship.” The bell of this jelly can be more than three feet across, and it can exist at depths of nearly 5,000 feet. Instead of stinging tentacles, it has four to seven fleshy “feeding arms” that look like pigs’ feet.
Did You Know?
Coastal Living magazine has named the Cove the 13th best beach in America. According to their expert evaluation, this is a “beach for all seasons that draws swimmers, kayakers, and surfers in sultry weather; beachcombers, birders, and surf anglers arrive during the cooler months. The gray-sand beach has been a popular seaside retreat since Victorian days.” Beating out Camden, Maine; Carmel-by-the-Sea, California; and Hilton Head, South Carolina, the city of Cape May city been lauded by the same magazine — we were named the #6 happiest seaside town in America.

Here’s what the EZ team had for dinner this week
E
very week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or, maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general vibe. Where we ate: Iron Pier Craft House, above Cabanas. The history: Cape May really DID have an iron pier in the late 1800s. At the end of Decatur Street, extending 1,000 feet over the ocean, it was home to shops, amusements, even an opera house. Unfortunately, this formidable piece of coastal infrastructure met an untimely fate when it was struck by a rock-filled barge manned by those intrepid souls charged with building Cold Spring Inlet. Now the only Iron Pier-related rocks you have to worry about are the ones in your drink (ba-dum ching!). The view: Pretty spectacular if you sit in the glassed-in room overlooking the beach. We watched diehard beachgoers soaking up every last ray of sun as the sky turned cotton-candy pink above them. And the promenade always provides excellent people watching. The bathroom: Super clean and roomy. You could almost eat in there! The popcorn: Complimentary. And a delightful way to begin a meal. The deal: If sharing is caring, then Iron Pier should get a gold star. The menu is split into three sections — tapas, shares and mains. So order your own dish, or order easily splittable dishes for the table and sample a bunch of tasty nibbles. (Or do both — no judgement.) The food: Parmesan truffle fries? Yes, please! Lobster flatbread? Twist our arm. Shrimp tostones with pineapple, avocado and a mango glaze? Would be criminal not to. And that’s us just getting started. For our main courses, two of us ordered the halibut on special. The other two opted for the miso-glazed black pearl salmon and a spicy orange chicken with red bliss smashed potatoes. The drinks: Our fave? The oh-so-drinkable jalapeno lemonade. The conversation: That’s top-secret, as it involves the Best Idea Ever for a new business in Cape May, and we don’t want to give it away and lose out on [Dr Evil voice] one million dollars — muhahaha! The run-in: We spotted Eliza Crawford of Cape May Running Company sitting at the bar, but didn’t have time to stop and chat, as our meter was running low. #CapeMayProblems.

* Vines to Wines Tour online reservations required
This week, Jake Shriver from The Mad Batter is up. How long have you been bartending? One year. Favorite drink to make? The Manmosa because it's delicious and I sell a lot of them. What’s your bartending pet peeve? Not having coffee cups available behind the bar. Makes sense since you're a hot breakfast spot! Dream job? I love the restaurant industry, so If I wasn't bartending, I'd probably be in the kitchen cooking.

Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence
o, for about seven years, tired of paying $200-plus a month for 500 channels I didn’t watch and several channels that outright hated me, we ditched cable and were fairly early adopters of the (then) cheaper streaming model that is so prevalent today. Still, in 2012, it was a pretty revolutionary act to cut the cord, especially without telling the wife and kids. GOOD MORNING, TELEVISION IS GONE. THIS IS A ROKU. WELCOME TO YOUR NEW LIFE. And it was good. Well, recently my wife decided to (was swindled into?) bringing a cable box back into our home. I tried to explain that news channels that like to call me a Nazi are only still in business because of the racket known as carriage fees, but, alas, the allure of watching all 27 hours of America’s Got Talent live every week was too strong. So I have cable now. Dammit. And while I have, for the most part, avoided the fever swamp of cable news, the other night I flipped past just because sometimes I like to make my blood boil to
feel like I’m not dead inside. Well, imagine my shock to learn that Democrats, CNN and MSNBC now all love Wal-Mart, while Republicans and Fox News hates them! (Long story short; Wal-Mart will stop selling certain kind of gun ammunition, but not until they sell whatever is left in stock because, money.) Why, it’s almost like politicians and talking news heads don’t believe in a single goddamn thing that isn’t politically expedient. Build the wall, don’t build the wall, just try to give a shit about something for once.
4th ANNUAL
Exit Zero Filling Station cook Eric Gerlacher is a very hard-headed young man. Literally, as he recently survived getting hit by a truck while riding on his 25mph electric skateboard. Figuratively, as he still refuses to wear a helmet. So if you see his dumb ass scooting down the side of the road like something out of an 80s post-apocolyptc sci-fi flick starring Keanu Reeves, honk your horn and call him a dirty name. I tried to tell him; he who lives by the board dies by the board. (UPDATE: Since writing this paragraph on Friday, Eric has survived yet another collision and still refuses to wear a helmet because he must be a crackpot. Obstinance will be a stupid reason to die.) Made some rounds on Sunday night and swung into the Mad Batter for their famous open mic night. Host MQ Murphy opened with a set of covers (Tom Waits and Lyle Lovett among them) before JM Kearns joined him for a few and graciously allowed me to sing a harmony on Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released.” MQ is a real maestro and the

vibe in there is incredible. I’d go more often but I don’t want to intimidate anybody with my amazing voice. And it was just like the Mad Batter to have tennis on instead of football. I then popped up to the Iron Pier Craft House to catch the Geno White Trio (Seth Johnson on drums, Paul Wilezol on bass) and found it incredibly difficult to keep my 11 sneezes perfectly in time with the bluesy tempo of the music, but I’m a pro so I managed. These guys are so tight in the pocket you better check your wallet. I’m at the age where rotating my left shoulder 90 degrees is incredibly painful. How are your 40s going? Who or what is Meerwald and why does he keep trying to lure me onto his boat? Creepy… I’m reasonably certain my homemade chicken cutlet would get me through the audition phase of Master Chef. I’m 100% positive that five days in a row back serving at Exit Zero Filling Station after a summer off has given me Master Chafe. I’m not usually one to judge (hahahaha! I know, I know…) but putting honey in your coffee is weird. Right? If I seemed extra fabulous last Wednesday waiting tables, it’s because I accidentally swapped aprons with Tish Roussos. Her glitter-sparkle check holder and swishy pens really put the sashay in my shanzay. Someone tell Dean Bloemer I’m reading my first John Sandford novel, Heat Lightning, a Virgil Flowers mystery. So far, so good. And after this I’ll only have 3,472 to catch up on. Dude’s prodigious. Eric McCormack is in that ASPCA commercial and I hate dogs now. My wife’s underwear have been in the back seat of my truck for a week now. Going to leave them there until she notices. And, while I won’t tell you how they got there, it is 100% less sexy than it sounds. Most of you know I’m a
September 12, 2019 staunch Philadelphia sports guy, having been weaned on the soothing tones of Bill Campbel and Joe Pelligrino during the early days of 610 WIP, coming of age with Buddy Ryan’s tenacious (but ultimately clueless) Eagles, watching slack-jawed as Joe Carter touched ’em all, jumping on strangers at the Ugly Mug when the Phils won in 2008, and weeping with my children when the Eagles finally one the big one in 2017. Well, ALL OFF THAT pales in comparison to last Monday, when I finally cajoled 97.3 ESPN radio host Pete Thompson into coming to check out my Carney’s band. He and the other 97.3 hosts (Mike Gill, Ryan Rothstein) hosted shows every Monday at The Barefoot Bar at the Marquis de Lafayette, and every Monday I’d pepper them on Twitter to come down to come check us out. Pete was kind enough to oblige on Labor Day, catching Thunder Road and Born To Run, and allowing me to finally buy him a “Fresca.” Class act, that PT. A good journalist would have written down the names of the people who remembered his murder mysteries and heaped praise upon him. I am not that journalist. But I still appreciate. Hope to have another story or two next year. If I remember how to write cohesive narrative, not that that ever stopped me before. Had a gig at the Rusty Nail last Sunday with my wing man, Tim Joyce. We were excellent, as always, and things were going swimmingly until Jon Sachar showed up, sat behind a speaker where he couldn’t see me, and declared it, “The best seat in the house!” This hurt my feelings, deep down inside where I’m soft like a woman. (Sighs dramatically, turns on heel, exits with a flourish.) ’Til next week, don’t get caught in The Undertow.

The Old Fogey
I
Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur
am alarmed by the behavior of dog owners. And I say this as the owner of an alarming dog. I am not referring to the trend of giving dogs human names. Nor that of dressing them in little pullovers and bandanas. I am not even complaining about people calling themselves “dog mommas” and their pets “fur babies”. Though by the gods, these are all execrable. No, I am peeved about poop, to get alliterative. I was very pleased when, as a city, we mostly moved beyond the notion that dogs should poop where they pause, and that rain, passing traffic and curious children would, over time, remove the feces, whether down storm drains, spattered up into the air, or tramped through nice carpets. The first time I witnessed a dog owner stooping over their suddenly-disinterested animal’s poop, I assumed something remarkable had been eaten by the dog, and that the fecal matter was being pored over in the hope that a diamond ring, or fragments of a winning lottery ticket might be found. Imagine my surprise at the sleight of hand that the lady
demonstrated in picking up the still-steaming poop with her hand inside a plastic bag, then turning it inside out, and knotting the package. This was a revelation as previously I had taught every Young Albert to poop only into untended Shoebie sneakers on the beach. But the whole thing has got out of hand. A certain type of dog owner seems to think that their responsibility ends the moment the fresh poop has been bagged, and they simply put the tiny warm package anywhere handy. I see them all over town: dangling from fences,
Find Your Way Back...
closing up public bins and thrown carelessly to the curb, to be run over by passing cars, with comedic but unhygienic results. So we are passing (as it were) a new law this week. Well, two new laws, which are connected. From early next April, dog poop will have to be put into our new condensers, which will extract all useful moisture, and compact and dry the rest, to be sold for vaping, and thus zero-waste. That’s right, dog owners in Cape May will have to become poop-vapers. Don’t be alarmed, though – technology means the special new strains will be blended with high potency CBD oil, to give a range of powerful and unique local flavors. We will have Morning Dump blend, an aromatic and invigorating start to the day, Nature Calls (“the mellow afternoon experience”) and Dusk Dump, a strong and slightly trippy combination of ingredients that will fill our streets with the sound of giggling and mumbling, and the organic aroma of sustainability and just a little narcotic buzz. Look out for coupons in this very periodical.

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, being civil
ivil War is obviously an oxymoron. “Civil” comes from the Latin for “pertaining to the citizen,” contrasted with “militaris,” for “pertaining to the soldier.” In a civil war, citizens become soldiers, confusing the roles. A citizen’s duty is to participate in his government, questioning it when necessary. A soldier’s duty is to obey his government. A civil war — like the conflict that threatened the United States from 1861 to 1865 — destroys the inevitability of nationhood. We Americans don’t have to be one nation. We choose to be. Things are a little testy in the United States right now. One side sees a shattering of norms, a failure of checks and balances, and a lack of ethics in a nation that once made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm. The other side celebrates a reduction in regulations and a celebration of the free market. It’s common to hear that the country is more divided today than it has been since the Civil War, but we have survived other great divisions. Shortly after independence, the Whiskey Rebellion questioned the new government’s right to
tax. A century of American Indian Wars left a trail of broken promises. The struggle for women’s suffrage was long, bitter and violent. After World War I, as America struggled with its new role as a world power, class and race conflicts erupted. We’ve had labor struggles, like the coal wars. Activists fighting for civil rights risked jail, brutality and economic sanctions. The conflict in Vietnam created bitterness at home. Watergate took the nation to a constitutional crisis. There have been secession movements from Alaska, the Northwest Angle of Minnesota, Oregon, Hawaii, Texas, and more, including a light-
hearted movement to form the Conch Republic in Florida Keys. So far, we have decided that we are stronger together. Reenactments of Civil War battles help to remind us of this. Reenactments began while the Civil War still raged, as a way to recruit new soldiers, pay tribute to fallen comrades and provide news about the ongoing war. The Great Reunion of 1913 brought 50,000 veterans, both Union and Confederate, together to replay battles at the 50th anniversary of Gettysburg. Modern reenactors seek to educate the public about this ugly chapter. Talk to reenactors at the Civil War Weekend at Historic Cold Spring Village on September 14 and 15 from 10 to 4:30. Tour Union and Confederate camps and meet authentically-clad reenactors “who will discuss the everyday lives of Civil War soldiers and the roles civilians played in supporting them.” A battle is scheduled for 2pm both days, so visitors will be unable to enter after 1:30. The Village buildings will be closed during the battle. Admission is $14 for adults and $12 for children.

The Movie Column
“The Peanut Butter Falcon” is reviewed by arts columnist Tom Sims
M
y Aunt Teresa lives with me and my new wife, Jacquie. Aunt Teresa’s taste in movies is not the same as mine. For example, she loves Hallmark movies. As she’s watching one, I’ll tell her, “I don’t want to spoil this, Aunt T, but she gets the guy in the end.” Aunt T told us the buzz about a new movie called The Peanut Butter Falcon. The film seemed to have none of the trappings of a Hallmark movie. It looked like a summer road trip movie — albeit more river than road — but still a trip. In this film, our lead character has Down Syndrome. Zak (played by Zack Gottsagen) is in his 20s, and his family has gone. A ward of the state, he lives in a nursing home. He tries to run away, but he’s a lousy runner. He plays his favorite VHS tape, and his roommate (played by Bruce Dern) complains about how many times he’s seen it. The wrestler’s name is The Salt Water Redneck (real name is Clint, played by Thomas Hayden Church). Zak idolizes him
and wants only to become a wrestler. He knows the nursing home is not too far from the town where Clint runs a wrestling clinic. The roommates plans a midnight escape, complete with liquid soap to lube up Zak and squeeze him through the bars on the windows he’s pulled back as much as possible. Zak pops out and he runs nearly completely naked down the street. Freedom. Enter Tyler, a small-time criminal with a mysterious past and a propensity for trou-
ble. Shia LaBeouf plays Tyler, who befriends Zak and takes him on the journey to the wrestling camp. Tyler works with Zak as if there were no special needs, only different circumstances. “This movie shows us how we can all treat people with special needs using a lot more care,” Aunt T says. “Calling them names is awful — like some people did. Tyler treated the kid like he was capable and strong. He took him under his wing and gave him purpose. That’s better than being stuck in a nursing home.” Well put, Aunt T! Regarding “that word” ignorant asses use to label people with intellectual disabilities, it is the worst — only one sets me off more. As Jacquie noted, one of the more memorable lines is Tyler telling the nurse trying to find Zak, played by Dakota Johnson (paraphrasing), “You don’t have to use the word to treat someone like that.” This film teetered on the edge of a Hallmark maybe one too many times for me. It was good, but the problem is I wanted it to be great. However it was important to see.

ARIES: You will enjoy the perfect September beach day in which parking is available, the water is ideal, and the weather is warm but not humid. You will be lulled into a deep sleep by the sound of gently breaking waves and wake up at 3am dazed, confused and partially submerged. TAURUS: You will buy a Cuban Mojito bath bomb from A Place on Earth. It will smell so heavenly you will drink your bathwater and fantasize about doing a sexy bolero in Havana. GEMINI: You will lose your iPhone. You will be so disoriented without it, the police will find you wandering around the historic district in your pajamas, miming Tinder swipes and softly crying. CANCER: You will be so distraught about the end of peach season you will stockpile all the fruit you can from Duckie’s and No Frills Farm. You will arrange the peaches by size nd refer to each of them as “my precious”. LEO: You will order a Holy Guacamole burger from Exit Zero Filling Station, and you will be so pleased you will immediately order another.

It will be 80C and you will sweat through your knit sweater, but you will not falter. SAGITTARIUS: You will set out to spend the weekend weeding and cleaning your fridge. Instead, you will watch YouTube tutorials on making jewelry out of sea glass and hot glue gun your fingers together. CAPRICORN: You will have an existential crisis about your career. You will spend 14.2 hours submitting online applications in the fetal position before deciding you were born to be a backup dancer for Justin Bieber. AQUARIUS: You will have an existential crisis about your love life. You will spend 14.2 hours updating online dating profiles in the fetal position before deciding you were born to be with Justin Bieber. PISCES: You will lift a conch shell to your ear. Instead of hearing the ocean, you will hear Frasier Crane tell you that Copernicus called and you are not the center of the universe.

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 husband and I moved into our new house last month. It has four bedrooms because we are planning a family. The problem is my mother-in-law is eyeballing one of the rooms for herself and putting enormous pressure on my husband. She is not that old — mid-sixties — in perfect health and financially solvent. If she moves in, I know our marriage will be jeopardy. She is simply too opinionated, too controlling and too critical. How do I resolve this without creating a permanent schism? – Nervous Daughter-in-Law Dear Nervous You must have an honest talk with your husband. At the end of the day, it is his place to draw this line in the sand. He cannot blame it on you, and you must present a united front. As you point out, if she were in need, the matter
Wise answers to perplexing questions
would be more difficult and you may have a change of heart down the road after your family is established. For now you need breathing room. You must also be extremely supportive of your husband. It will be very difficult for him to stand up to her. The Answer Lady sees the need for a romantic dinner at Peter Shields and a walk on the beach afterwards to set the scene for a positive talk not an ultimatum. Dear Answer Lady I’ve been dating a lady for three months or so and I’ve noticed that she may be too rich
for my blood. Dinner always seems to be at the most expensive restaurants. She shops, I’m starting to notice, at the best places. I’m worries because I am a pretty frugal guy and a guy who prefers a burger over a filet any day of the week. I know all this sounds superficial but before I get in too deep, I need to sort out whether this is a major stumbling block for a committed relationship, which is what I’m looking for. — Frugal Fred Dear Frugal Very smart of you to see that opposing economic philosophies can be a breaking point for many relationships. The first question the Answer Lady would pose is — where does her money come from? Does she simply make a lot of money and therefore has a lot disposable income or is her family wealthy and she has become used to a certain way of life? You need to get to the heart of that and see where that road takes you. One toe test would be to take her to the Mad Batter or Harpoons on the Bay with the caveat that she can only order a burger and fries and she must wear her “most casual” attire. See how she reacts.

Bird Droppings
S
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu
ince June, they have been infiltrating Cape May. No, not tourists — birds. Millions of songbirds heralding from the boreal forests of Canada and Alaska, the planet’s greatest bird incubator. They are heading for the evergreen forests of the West Indies and Central America. Long before NAFTA, we were part of an international exchange of resources It’s called migration. We stand astride a great pan-hemispheric highway, and Cape May is a bottleneck in that stream of birds, a concentration point that catches and directs the flow of birds to Cape May Point. Think of New Jersey as one great land funnel, its terminus the tip of the Cape May peninsula. Because of this accident of geography, tens of thousands of birders visit here every year, a benign boon to the economy; asking nothing more than accommodations, timely meals and easy access to the birds that are their focus, birders are an economic force. Like shell collectors who
wish only to see rare and beautiful shells in their natural setting and depart with the memory, birders come, are awed, and return to their points of origin brimming with stories about the natural splendor of Cape May. You couldn’t ask for a more devoted cheering section and their promotion of Cape May ensures more birders, next year. The only thing that would disrupt this natural cycle is a diminishment of bird populations, a factor that we as the custodians
of this planet have in our control. It is at once a check upon unenlightened human ambition and our obligation to the planet that is our environmental safety net. If you’d like to catch the wave of birds, try attending a Cape May Bird Observatory field trip. Witness the migration spectacle that makes Cape May an ecotourist destination and become a stakeholder, not merely a beneficiary, of our environmental safety net. Yours until the last straggling migrants cross Cape May airspace in December, I am, Seymore Thanu. Stretching before you is a four-month window to one of the planet’s greatest air shows and you, a Cape May resident or visitor, have a front row seat. Bring binoculars and your kids and grandkids and start filling the coffers of your minds with feathered treasure. No bag limit, no permits required but you can pick up a bird checklist at CMBO, 701 East Lake Drive, Cape May Point.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal
Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 465-8923
ESKA is an energetic young husky who arrived at the shelter as a stray. She is a bit nervous when meeting new people but quickly warms up and flashes her husky grin. Although she loves the activity of long walks, she is still working on her leash skills. Eska is an affectionate girl and would succeed with an owner that understands her puppiness is part of her charm!
POLO is a sweet 11 year American Staffordshire Terrier Mix who was left behind when his owners moved. He is sad, but very friendly and quiet. He likes to roam in the yard and take walks. Polo would be a loving companion. Please come meet him and give him the home and love he deserves!
Robert Panaccio, VMD Robert Moffatt, VMD Nancy Reilly, VMD Patricia J. Link, DVM
PRINCE arrived at the shelter as a stray. He is friendly and loves to run freely in the play yard. chasing toys or simply being energetic. His leash manners are excellent and taking long walks is one of his favorite things. This four year old has outgrown the puppy impulsiveness and would be a wonderful companion for an active family - he is truly a “prince� of a dog!

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal
Three beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 465-8923
LAZLO is an all-around excellent cat. He is very friendly and loves getting attention. Lazlo is a senior cat with the heart of a kitten, and he will chirp at you when he wants you to pet him. Lazlo clearly had a family who cared about him at some point, but he was found outside as a stray. Can you offer this loving senior his forever home?
ITTY BITTY got brought to the shelter when her owner couldn’t take care of her anymore. She’s an older girl who has been through a lot, but she’s used to other cats, dogs and even birds. Itty doesn’t like being picked up too much, but loves to be pet. If you have room in your home for an old gal like Itty Bitty, come meet her at the shelter!
HORATIO was brought into the shelter with some of his friends after they got kicked out of their house. He is a sweet gentleman and would love to find a new home. Horatio gets along well with other cats and dogs, and with lots of different kinds of people. Come to the shelter to meet cute little Horatio and find out if you’d be a good match!
