Ramblings From The Editor

The Police Blotter

B

NORTH PALM BEACH, FL: An anonymous caller said there was an unattended baby in a stroller. Officers spoke to the woman who owns the stroller. Every morning she puts her poodle in the stroller and takes the poodle for a walk. She then takes the poodle out of the stroller, leaves the stroller unattended at the bridge, and takes the poodle for a walk along the waterline. – Palm Beach Post

Learn Russian With Tanya

YOU probably couldn’t throw a stone in Cape May without hitting an Eastern European person, though we would condemn such an act. We at Exit Zero warmly embrace our Commie Cousins (we’re joking!) and to this end offer a weekly lesson to help you communicate. Please note – the “Russian” we are printing is our phonetic interpretation.

Do people in Russia believe in ghosts? Liudi vuh rossii veriat vuh privideniia?

And, here is how your Russian-speaking friend is likely to respond: Ne tak uzh me I otlichaemsa ot vas? Nekotorye veryiat, nekotorye net. Russkii ne budet platit dengi za ekskursiu. Which translates to: Do you think we are so different from you? Some believe, some don’t.

But, no Russian would pay money to go on a ghost tour.

– Tanya Zotava

A Picture From The Past

Ben Miller

WHILE looking at the concrete bunker shell on the beach between Cape May and the lighthouse, it’s hard to believe that it was once 900 feet from the beach and covered by dirt and grass. In this rare shot, believed to be the only one of the bunker in active service, you can see the camouflaged bunker just above the middle antenna. The original six-inch panama gun mounts that flanked the front of the bunker are also hidden from view and nearly invisible from the air. – Ben Miller

Random Fact Of The Week

THE first scary movie, only about two minutes long, was made in 1896 by French filmmaker Georges Melies and was titled The Devil’s Castle. It containing elements such as a flying bat, a medieval castle, a cauldron, a demon, skeletons, ghosts and witches.

Ideas, idle gossip and occasionally important odds ’n’ ends... by Jack Wright

Y THE time you read this the public meeting to discuss the future of Cape May’s new convention hall will already have ended. So there is really little point in me discussing the matter.

Instead, I’m going to rehash my other favorite subject... parking!

Wildwood City Council has just introduced a new system which allows drivers to pay for parking using a cell phone. After first-time usage, which is free, drivers can register by phone or online and deposit money in a pre-paid account, just like you would with EZ-Pass.

Drivers can set up the account either before visiting town OR it can be done at the meter. Once a driver has registered, the system will recognize the cell phone number.

“Along with making things easier for individual parkers, mobile payment also is expected to greatly decrease the time that vehicles remain in spaces beyond their maximum limit,” said Wildwood’s mayor Gary DeMarzo. “During busy summer months, that means greater turnover of spaces as well.”

The city has signed a three-year deal with iControl Mobile Payment Solutions, and it looks like other shore towns might soon be joining them.

I mentioned the scheme a few weeks ago and I am asking/pleading for Cape May City Council to take a serious look at this plan. I do believe that the parking meter system that the city introduced three or four years ago is a public relations disaster. People either don’t know that there ARE meters, or they don’t know how to work them, or, more recently, the meters break down on a regular basis.

³

Ask any business owner, or tourist, around town and they will most likely tell you the same thing – the system sucks. It’s time to change it.

AND now I’m going to let you into a little secret, one that was first shared with me last year by my colleague Dan Mathers. Dan had mentioned that there was a colony of fireflies (or, if you prefer, lightning bugs) just past the creek, where Elmira Street turns into Central Avenue, as you are leaving town.

It was only recently that I actually paid attention, stopping for a few minutes as I biked back from town. And now it’s become an unmissable part of every trip home. All I can say is – ride your bike, or pull your car off the road and extinguish your lights (ensuring, of course, that you’re not creating a hazard) and enjoy one of the most amazing natural spectacles that Cape May has to offer.

It looks, on both sides of the road, as if someone had taken a huge bunch of flickering Christmas lights and filled the bushes with them.

Go witness it.

³

I WOULD like to thank, on behalf of a very grateful Pat Demnisky, lifeguard Melissa Hessler, who rescued Pat from a nasty rip tide on Saturday afternoon.

Pat is the mother-in-law of my dear friend Lawrence Green, a New York-based liquor genius who has a second home six doors up from me on Stimpson Lane. Pat is a proud, resilient, resourceful woman but she was shaken up by the experience. Like many people, I sometimes take the beach patrol for granted, but you can’t help be impressed by how quickly they react when things go badly.

It’s tragic that a man from Philadelphia (he was unnamed as we went to press) risked the tricky waters on Saturday evening, an hour after the beach patrol had left for the day. The man was pulled unconscious from the water at Pittsburgh Avenue beach at 6:30pm. Bystanders tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate him and he was pronounced dead after emergency services took him to Cape Regional Medical Center.

I know it’s easier said than done but if you DO get pulled by a rip tide try and remember the following – don’t swim against it. The best thing to do is either to tread water and conserve your energy until it passes or swim away from it, parallel to the shore and then swim back to the beach once you feel you are out of it.

And better still, don’t go in the water after the lifeguards have left.

FINALLY, I would like to say the following: Welcome back, Officer Steve Pascal, of the Cape May Police Department!

I guess we’ll be talking convention hall next week. Until then, have a wonderful time in America’s Original Seaside Resort (for those of us lucky enough to be here).

Fortune Cookie Of The Week

Serving Dinner from 5pm

J Generosity provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. J ONCE a week, the folks at Exit Zero eat at Cape Orient, the island’s fine Asian restaurant. Sometimes we find pearls of wisdom at the end of our meal. And sometimes we don’t. The above fortune cookie was eaten with chicken pad thai and house mei fun.

Please note: Any typos are not ours, but those of the fortune cookie manufacturers. We print them as we find them.

A Night On The Town

Bars, restaurants, culture and events... Dan Mathers’ weekly guide to what’s going on in Cape May

I

T’S ESTIMATED that Americans spend $19 billion annually on professional sports. Personally, I just purchased $100 soccer tickets, my cable bill is $113 a month and I’ve spent $300 for a single Phillies playoff ticket. So, it was a refreshing change of pace to be able to watch quality professional sports for the cost of my beach tag.

Great American Volleyball made their first trip to Cape May this past weekend and covered the sand from Cabanas to Convention Hall with nets. They were offering $4,000 in prize money for the pro division – not bad money for a day on the beach in Cape May. In the running for that money was Cape May local Jim Walls who has formerly played on the AVP professional tour (that’s the NFL of volleyball).

In the beginning volleyball is all about keeping the ball in the air. Get it up and over and you celebrate. Progressing a bit, the game is about offense. You’re expected to keep the ball up. Coordinating a good bump, set and spike is worthy of a solid low five. At the best level, the game changes yet again. It’s about defense. Players loft above the net, slamming

balls downward with such force that defending the attack requires extreme coordination. At this level, keeping the ball up is again what you celebrate. Watching volleyball played at this level is unreal.

Jim and his playing partner Ihor Akinshyn combined for digs and retrieved balls I’d have just watched fly by. My friends Miro and Andrei, two of the best players I’d seen play up to this point, were no match. Miro is the

most lackadaisical person I know. He lightly lopes across the sand, smiling regardless of the score. He was disappointed, but not angry.

Andrei was a different story. I know a good number of Russian curses. My Belarussian friends thought it was funny to teach me these words. Andrei, spitting into the sand in disgust, introduced me to new words with every point against him.

Andrei should take solace in knowing that Jim and Ihor eventually won the tournament.

They deftly maneuvered past all takers with a combination of skill and veteran expertise.

They disassembled their younger opponents and showed not a hint of their age.

After hours enjoying the tournament, swimming in a roiling ocean and generally developing an all-around maroon tinge to my skin, I retreated to Cabanas to find solace from the sun and a prescription for my thirst.

Cabanas sponsored the tournament and deserve a tremendous thank you for making such a great event possible... and for offering $2 Bud Light Lime drafts, a beer so delicious that I don’t see too many Coronas in my future.

nates with a damsel in distress batting away baddies at the top of a lighthouse. Cape May celebrated its quadricentennial last year – let’s hope we don’t get four times the carnage.

The Birds (1963) In this Hitchcock classic a city girl visits Bodega Bay, near San Francisco, where the birds grow wilder daily. First she’s molested by an offending sea gull (something we’ve all experienced on the beach), but the attacks escalate rapidly, including a harrowing scene of schoolchildren fleeing hordes of crows. The film gives you new respect for the folks at the Cape May Bird Observatory – thank god someone’s watching the skies.

The Ring (2002) Things turn really grim in this psychological thriller when Naomi Watts visits Moesko Island, Washington.

On her ferry trip, Watts approaches a horse restrained inside a metal trailer. Within seconds the animal become hysterical, breaks its bonds, gallops across the ferry deck and hurls itself overboard, only to reappear in a bloody cloud by the ferry propellers. Lucky the Cape May-Lewes Ferry doesn’t traffic in livestock.

caretaker at the Overlook Hotel, and brings along his wife and son. What follows is a story of cabin fever compounded by alcoholism, writer’s block, and psychic visions as the family gets acquainted with their new home.

Kubrick’s haunted hotel makes you wonder what went down in the Chalfonte Hotel during the Great Blizzard of 2010.

Last House on the Left (1972) Director Wes Craven (The Hills Have Eyes, Nightmare on Elm Street) debuted with a tale of two teenage girls who they leave their rural homes to visit the big city. Both girls are abducted by escaped convicts and driven to the country – back to their neighborhood. The twist in the second half is worth the wait. Will make you think twice before sending your daughters out of West Cape May and into Philly.

The Fog (1980) The seaside town of Antonio Bay prepares for its centennial when a silvery fog rolls in off the coast. Not coincidentally, townspeople start to die. Turns out Antonio Bay has a dark secret involving a burning ship of lepers, and now the lepers are back to exact their revenge. The film culmi-

OT everyone can stomach scary movies (just like some of us can’t stand romantic comedies). But even if you sleep with a nightlight, the six films below are worth the Netflix rental: they’re classic by any standard, and each offers a salty Cape May flavor. Watch them and not only will you be conversant with your film buff friends, but you’ll know what to do when a deadly fog rolls in toward the lighthouse.

Jaws (1975) Steven Spielberg filmed the ultimate shark thriller in Martha’s Vineyard, but the resort town of Amity Island is eerily close to Cape May (the mayor drools over tourists’ “summer dollars” every time he appears). Starring Roy Scheider as the town police chief with a heavy conscience and Robert Shaw as the shark-slayer so salty he’s only missing a peg-leg, Jaws will keep you on dry land for a while.

The Shining (1980) Jack Nicholson dominates with twitchy, neurotic gestures and sinister smiles. He takes a job as winter

LOOK very closely at the photo in the C-View’s ad on page five... can you see the ghost? – Justin Kidding, Cape Maybe ***

I THOUGHT I saw the ghost of a dead crab on the beach! Then someone told me that is was a ghost crab... could that be true?

THE dude from the Random Fact of the Week on page 10 is holding his pencil kinda funny, isn’t he? Plus, if he is taking a test, I hope he’s using a #2 pencil! – Erma

IT was almost closing time at Swain’s... I was way in the back all alone looking at lightbulbs when suddenly... I felt this presence near me. It was as if a ghost was staring at me, but it was just Russell peering over my shoulder wanting to know what kind of bulb I needed. You can’t blame me for thinking he was a ghost though... he is pretty pale and moves silently, you know. – Cape May

AND the female clip art for Learn Russian with Tanya does not look like Tanya at all. It looks more like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz! – Cape May

Confessions Of A Cape May Lover

S

An enthusiast’s view of America’s Original Seaside Resort... by Meghan Kunz

OME of the best experiences I’ve had in Cape May are the ones that were unplanned. I often have my staunch bullet-point list of places that I must visit and foods that I must relish, but my husband and my mother often force my hand to try something different. It’s not because I can’t break free of routine; rather it’s usually because I have limited time and need to pack every possible memorable flavor, scent, sight and sound in before I take the slow crawl back home.

Two weeks ago, I was actually the one to suggest checking out a new place (new for us) to my husband, Andy. We walked (cheap/easy/no parking ticket) to the West End Garage at 484 West Perry Street. I’ve patronized this eclectic and unique menagerie of art, antiques, home furnishings, vintage finds, clothing, and yummy treats a couple of times but it was a first for Andy.

Upon entering, you immediately notice how it’s laid out – as a well-organized maze of wondrous finds. It’s an artists’ cooperative gallery, so you may purchase five items from

five different vendors all at one location.

The items are all of superior quality: special souvenirs, incredible gifts, one-of-akind decorative wares. I was so pleased to stumble upon a floral print children’s chaise lounge for none other than my deaf chihuahua, Betsy. The chair is a shrunken version of a true chaise lounge, and it was $20. I can’t find a dog bed for $20 so this was a huge retail victory! It also helps that Betsy, being the chubby nightmare that she is, fell in love with it. Reviewing the receipt, you can

tell that we are impulse buyers: chocolate chip biscotti, Marley and Me, petite pocket lint roller, hand-painted inspirational sign, child’s chaise lounge. I walked out dizzy with happiness over the pleasing displays of treats. West End Garage is now on my rotation of must-sees.

As I staggered down the street, wilting from the heat, I reminisced about how I missed Bath Time’s previous location across from Swain’s Hardware until I saw its replacement: it was like an oasis in the desert (okay, it was just very hot Fourth of July weekend). I’m talking about Miss Demeanor at 223 Jackson Street. First of all, let me just say I love the name, paired with the silhouette of a girl carrying a shopping bag in one hand, the scales of justice in the other on their sign. An engaging mother-and-daughter duo introduced this chic new boutique (which also offers men’s tees!). I was hooked.

They feature unique clothing and accessories which are striking and classic with a modern twist (the pricing also helps!).

Until next week…

The Old Fogey

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

I

HAVE not much time for ghosts, until that point in my life (the very end) at which I will become one. I shall then haunt the D’Catur Mansion, which will be maintained as a museum to my life and works, and cause stuffed animal heads to fall off walls onto any visitors who fail to show sufficient appreciation of the grandeur of the place. I shall rest an icy hand momentarily on the back of any fat, sweaty necks I dislike. I shall also cause doors to slam shut, trapping those tourists who fall behind, alone, in the creepier parts of the house, and whisper “Get out!” in their ears.

When the museum is closed, at night, I will retire to the topmost turret and when I see passing children look up fearfully, I will press my white-powdered face against the window and scream silently as I point at them.

Of course this is no change to the routine I have in place now, except that I have a pulse at the moment (resting 50, peak exercise level 52 – I was rejected from the Apollo project for being too fit), and do not

charge people to come and visit, although the idea has some merit.

I may permit some of Cape May’s other ghosts to make guest appearances: I have always been fond of the trio of local Indians who wander the streets wrapped in their pox-ridden blankets, wondering where all of the buffalo have gone. And the shade of Ernie Hemingway of course comes to visit once a year, at which time in the wee small hours one can hear the

ghostly report of his elephant gun going off, and his enraged, drunken bellowing echoes around the streets.

And there are positively scores if not hundreds of Victorian children on tricycles, hollow-faced Civil War widows, vindictive old ladies and a boatload of drowned whalers who squelch ashore in their soaking clothes, leaving behind a stink of blubber.

But until I pass away, I am not for entertaining ghosts, whom I mostly believe to be faint-hearts who have not the courage to move on to wherever the dead actually belong: Heaven/Hell/Valhalla/ whatever. I know for a fact that Ernie has actually done so, but has a special arrangement to come back regularly to annoy me. He will not tell me specifically what awaits after death, just that he has trouble getting enough tobacco for his pipe, and that “it’s a bit grim but the food is cheap”. Which could be Purgatory, or possibly Wildwood, which would be hell AND Hell.

T SEEMS there is almost a fear of being told, “You shouldn’t eat meat!” Some folks would apparently rather go hungry than change their eating habits to one of a vegetarian or think they will starve due to a lack of options. The truth is the average meat eater maintains a more mundane menu than the typical veggie. This results in a lack of variety in their diet (the spice of life!), potentially resulting in serious health issues from lack of dynamic nutrition.

The average American omnivore’s daily diet resembles something of a small simple breakfast (or eggs/pancakes with meat for a treat!), some kind of meat sandwich or salad with meat for lunch, and meat with a side of carbohydrates (and hopefully a helping of vegetables) for dinner. This was my reality growing up and since the day I gave meat up I began to see, more than ever, those who followed these patterns and just how many of them there were.

The problems that come along with these habits are perhaps more than you would believe. To name a few – a heavily-saturated

meat diet is directly related to high blood pressure and cholesterol, heart disease, obesity, lethargy, digestive problems, cancer and more.

Not to mention most of the meats consumed are raised in horrible conditions, fed the worst of foods, pumped with steroids and growth hormones and maybe carrying diseases.

Also, there are environmental threats such as cows releasing tons of methane a year, producing as much pollution as automobiles, while at the same time consuming more grains than we humans, thus not only forcing us to

dedicate land to raising cows but also to feeding them. The fishing industry is notorious for raking (I prefer ‘raping’) the sea as they constantly pull up nets full of diverse sea life and choose only some, leaving the rest to die on the deck, just so we may have a tuna melt for lunch.

To help surpass, instead of surrender, to my meat cravings after I took the vegetarian “dive” I found some satisfying alternatives.

Products such as Gimme Lean Sausage, Smart Bacon, Veggie Burgers, Tofu Pups(Hotdogs for the grill!), LiteLife BBQ Chicken, Gardinn’s Pulled Pork and more! The great news is all these products can be found in your local food store (look in the organic/produce section).

The ideal meal should please your palette while satisfying your stomach without any meat trace. Stay tuned to to future weeks to get some great recipes for healthier, happier habits and easy, affordable alternatives. In the meantime try one of the above on for size! You just might be surprised.

A

SHOW of new work by Cape May artist (and Exit Zero legend) Victor Grasso will open at SOMA NewArt Gallery on Saturday, August 7, with an Opening Artist’s Reception from 6-9pm. This is Grasso’s third solo exhibit at SOMA and he is returning with a stunning new body of work which probes the imagery, history and myth of our region. “My mission is to construct unusual circumstances from ordinary situations, and my muse is the southern New Jersey coastline; mixing local flavor, a heavy dose of femininity, historical irony, naturalism, and a rich maritime legacy,” he says.

New to this exhibit, in addition to Grasso’s startlingly realistic oil and watercolor paintings, is his embrace of pen and ink to create an illusionary universe of what appear to be historical etchings, reminiscent of old maritime charts, secret maps, and Civil War engravings, always with Grasso’s darkly-ironic vision of startlinglymischievous unpredictability.

Painting and drawing in the realist tradition, Grasso’s new work pushes the limits of the viewers’ visual perception as he explores the mysterious allure of the people, and the terrain, of the southern shore communities.

In the watercolor, Libertas, Grasso combines the setting of the historic Congress Hall Hotel, the American flag, a white steed, and a beautiful woman dressed in white, to create an almost mythological, storybook, fairy-tale tableau.

In the oil painting, Bait, an octopus morphs from the model’s head, sensuously descending like hair over her back. Grasso explains, “I wanted a study of the female form punched up a bit with a Davy Jones Locker style, like some mythical siren bewitching a sailor.” Another captivating image, aptly titled Triceratops, depicts a beautifully painted weathered piece of driftwood on Higbee Beach.

The Answer Lady

T

Wise answers to perplexing questions

HE ANSWER Lady invites inquiries from gentle readers on all manners 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 We own a vacation home in Cape May. We don’t use it much anymore, so we make it available to family and friends. We don’t need the money, so we don’t charge. The problem is that sometimes we incur damage to our home that goes beyond normal wear and tear.

I can’t tell you how many times we have lent it to someone, only to find a major problem , like a stain in the carpet that won’t come out, or a piece of broken furniture. We hate to say anything, but costs are starting to add up. What should we do? – The Out-of-Towners Dear Out-of-Towners There is a difference between being ‘nice’ and ‘accommodating,’ and being a ‘doormat.’

You, gentle reader have become the ‘mat underneath the doormat.’ Come now, while it is highly commendable to open your Cape May

14 Karat Yellow Diamond Plaque

home to loved ones who may not otherwise be able to enjoy all that our fair city has to offer, it is another matter entirely to have marauding hordes treat your home-away-from-home like a fraternity house. And a free fraternity house at that! If you do not feel comfortable charging rent for your place, then you must at least institute a security deposit policy. So repeat after the Answer Lady: ‘Sure, Cousin Nancy – the week of the 14th is just fine. Martha and I still do not charge for the house even during prime weeks, but due to some damages we’ve

incurred, we are requiring a $200 security deposit. Of course, we return it if there is no damage to the house. It’s nothing personal, but unfortunately it’s become necessary. I’m sure we’ll be able to get yours back to you within two weeks.’ Hold your ground, even if you get some negative feedback – don’t forget that you are offering the deal of the century here. By the way, if you don’t think you and Martha have the stomach for this, list your house for rent with a local realtor. If you really don’t need the money, you can donate it to charity. Then you can have a professional deal with Cousin Nancy.

Dear Answer Lady Please settle a bet. If I go to someone’s house for a BYOB party, and I B my OB, and I don’t drink all of my OB, can I take what’s left home with me? – Party Guy Dear Party Can you? Certainly. You can also grab an empty bag and stroll around filling it with leftovers. The question is: should you?

Probably not, unless of course you are an uncivilized boor. If that’s the case, feel free.

BUTTERCUP is a pretty two-year-old pitbull mix waiting for a rescuer. Visitors always comment on her charm and good looks.

Buttercup can be anxious at first, but once she warms up she enjoys human contact. She can be hand-shy and loud noises make her jumpy.

Once she feels comfortable she becomes a gentle girl who wants to be loved. If you can offer her the right home, please stop in today. She’ll be so grateful you did. Adoption fee is $95.

«

EDDIE is a handsome one-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix. He’s very energetic and will need lots of exercise and attention. He loves playing with kids but needs to be in a home with older children – he’s so enthusiastic he might knock them over! He’s not a bad guy, he just likes to have fun. If you’ll give him a chance he’ll do his best to make you proud.

If you think you can help him out come to the shelter and take a look. Adoption fee is $95.

«

EMMY is a sweet, two-year-old gal who is shy at first but warms up quickly and loves to be around people. She’s friendly, social, and quick to make friends. Emmy is playful and can become overexcited, but she doesn’t mind some roughhousing and calms down quickly.

Due to her enthusiasm she belongs in a home with children over the age of 13. All this good girl needs now is someone to come and rescue her today. Adoption fee is $95.

Handcrafted from iron and fieldstone, our Water Birds Collection of Herons, Egrets, Pelicans, & Ducks will grace any home or garden. Lots of Owls too!

Cape Curiosity

A weekly historical column by Ben Miller, author of the best-selling “The First Resort”

T

HERE lie in the Cape May harbor tonight three submarines and the “mother” tender of the submarines, also a United States cruiser, ready to take part in the Independence Day maneuvers in the bay tomorrow.” – The New York Times, July 4, 1916.

People are often surprised to learn of submarine activity near Cape May. In The First Resort, I discussed two famous submarine incidents that occurred in the area: the sinking of the USS S-5 and the surrender of the German U-boat 858 after World War II. I’ll discuss each of those stories in greater depth in the next two columns, but for this issue we’ll focus on the ships that were ported in Cape May harbor.

The US Navy first ported submarines in the Cape May harbor in 1916, and the excerpt that begins this column details part of that year’s Independence Day festivities. As a thrill for local citizens and a demonstration of the German U-boat threat, a challenge was arranged between four submarines and anyone in the area with a boat. The subs

The US Navy patrolled the Atlantic coast with pre-WWI submarines like these four, ported in Cape May harbor near what is now the Coast Guard base. Don Pocher

involved were the D-3 (USS Salmon), L-1, L-2 and L-4.

The locals were told to patrol the area however and wherever they liked. While the patrol was in place, the submarines would come from out at sea and attempt to enter the harbor without being noticed.

As an added obstacle, the local boats were joined by the 300-foot destroyer USS Beale.

Newspapers of the day noted that hundreds of boats were involved in the operation, but ultimately each of the submarines entered the bay undetected.

The Navy threw an even bigger party two months later on Labor Day, celebrating the official opening of the $2,000,000 Cape May harbor and the commissioning of both the Cape May submarine base and the new Navy Reserve base which would be known as Camp Wissahickon.

Among the activities planned was a mock sea battle, designed to demonstrate the importance of submarine patrols off Cape May. The submarines involved were the K-1 (USS Haddock), K-2 (USS Catchalot), K-3 (USS Orca) and the K-4 (USS Walrus). A flotilla of four battleships comprised of the USS Rhode Island, USS Louisiana, USS Alabama

The USS N-7 worked in conjunction with submarine chasers 71 and 73, searching for German U-boats in the waters off Cape May. Don Pocher

and USS Illinois were deemed the ‘enemy’ aggressor and the submarines were the ‘good guys.’ The submarines were joined by two destroyers and other assorted ships from the Navy Reserves.

After two hours of fighting and the involvement of over 2,000 reservists, the battle was over and the local Cape May sailors won. According to a July 5 Philadelphia Inquirer article, “The war game drew an enormous crowd to the resort for this Labor Day holiday. More than ten thousand people arrived on trains and the steamship Cape May, which made her first daylight trip

today. The maneuvers were plainly visible from the beach.”

Cape May’s submarine base was closed in 1924, when the Navy relinquished the base to the Coast Guard and it became a first line of defense in a new, more domestic conflict: preventing rum runners from delivering bootleg alcohol during Prohibition. The Navy returned to town during World War II, but it was a temporary situation until after the war, when the Coast Guard was given complete ownership of the base. Today the base serves as the Coast Guard’s only Recruit Training Center.

The 64 Things You Should Do In Cool Cape May

If it’s not in this list it probably ain’t worth doing. So get reading, and then get moving!

FAMILY-FRIENDLY Cape May has a great variety of activities that you can enjoy with the entire family. Here is a great list of ideas to get you started.

1. Morey’s Piers The Wildwood Boardwalk is now home to the biggest attraction the Jersey Shore has seen in years. The Ghost Ship, unveiled Memorial Day Weekend, is a one-of-a-kind haunted attraction featuring animatronics, a scary soundtrack and live actors. Wind your way through the maze-like course of a wrecked ship that appears it has crashed right into Morey’s Piers.

2. Cape May-Lewes Ferry Take a trip over to Lewes, Delaware, a small, quaint seaside town, then make sure you check out bustling Rehoboth Beach, the Fenwick Island Lighthouse or Cape Henlopen State Park. You can also take advantage of the tax-free shopping at the outlets. Or just enjoy the quiet and vastness of the bay on the deck of the ferry as you watch for dolphins and whales. For more information or to book a reservation, call 800-64-FERRY or visit capemaylewesferry.com.

3. Historic Cold Spring Village Ever wonder what it was like to live in Cape May 200 years ago? The answer can be found at this open-air living history museum, a seven-minute drive from town. Through interactive, and hands-on activities,

visitors can make a connection with the past by experiencing it. The many authentically-restored homes amid idyllic shaded areas make it hard not to feel like Abe Lincoln’s in office… and it’s even easier when the Civil War re-enactment rolls into town. Cold Spring is a can’t-miss for history buffs. Give them a call at (609) 898-2300 or visit their website at www.hcsv.org.

4. Whale and Dolphin Watching Dolphins are fairly common in the waters off Cape May, but it’s still a joy to see them. Cape May Whale & Dolphin Watch and Research Center offers you the best chance to see them up close. And, you might even see a whale. Tours take off at Wilson Avenue. You can see it on your left as you cross the small bridge before the Lobster House on your way out of town. For directions or more information, call (609) 898-0055 or visit them on the web at www.capemaywhalewatch.com.

5. Cape May Family Treasure Hunt Discover the fun of exploring Cape May and uncovering its architectural elements from a kid’s perspective.

Packet includes a clue sheet and map that will take you on a self-guided discovery tour. Packets for the entire family are available for $5. For more information, call (609) 884-5404 or visit www.capemaymac.org.

6. Antiquing For a different kind of treasure hunt, check out the amazing variety of antique shops that are available in Cape May – just don’t get disheartened when you see

your favorite childhood toy selling for $100. Here are some treasure troves (all 609 area code): Antiques Emporia, 405 West Perry Street (898-3332), Bridgetowne Antiques, Broadway and Mechanic (884-8107), Out of The Past Antiques, 394 Myrtle Avenue, corner of Perry (884-3357), Cape May Antique Center, 1228 Route 109 (898-4449).

7. Cape May Lighthouse, Oil House, Museum Shop The structure, built in 1859, has 199 steps leading to the watch gallery with a panoramic view of the Jersey Cape, Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Admission to the Visitors’ Orientation Center and the ground floor of the Lighthouse is free. Tower admission is $7 for adults and $3 for children. For more information, call (609) 884-5404 or visit www.capemaymac.org.

8. Bay Springs Alpaca Farm This one’s hard to believe, but Cape May has an Alpaca Farm. Near the end of beautiful New England Road, Warren and Barbara Nuessle live what they call the “alpaca lifestyle” – quiet and simple. Visit them between 10am and 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays and see how alpaca fiber is spun into yarn, or shop at their store which carries many alpaca related items (forget wool; go with an alpaca sweater this winter!)

And don’t forget to greet the grazing alpacas – they make it all possible. Call (609) 884-0563 or visit www.bayspringsalpacas.comfor more information.

Activity Of The Week

A weekly column by Catherine Dugan. This week: “ I Hate Hamlet” at Cape May Stage.

T

O SEE, or not to see? If that is your question, don’t dither like Hamlet any longer. Get your tickets to see whatever Cape May Stage is showing when you are in town. Gone are the days when you could wait and expect to get a ticket – these days, the shows are often sold out. Cape May Stage has gone from being an enhancement to your beach vacation to being a destination all its own, drawing theater lovers who may or may not visit the beach. For example, I met a couple who came from central Pennsylvania to see three productions at Cape May Stage in one week – I Hate Hamlet and two Second Stage events – and then went home, without setting foot on the beach.

Cape May Stage draws stars from movies and television, and from theater in New York, Philadelphia and national tours. Some of them, like Kate McCauley Hathaway, bring a connection to Cape May; others forge a connection when they come to work. The 2010 season offers a mix of comedy and drama, and the Second Stage productions

add cabaret and vaudeville. Throw in daytime performances sometimes scheduled for the kids, and you’ve got quite a lineup.

On a recent evening we saw, I Hate Hamlet, a comedy by Paul Rudnick which features an actor, about to play Hamlet, who meets the ghost of John Barrymore. It’s a clever play, which draws giggles and outright guffaws from the audience, and the six talented actors work together beautifully. The connections to Cape May – old-fashioned living spaces,

television stars doing theater, ghosts – make it even more fun.

Sue Graves and Marie Pagliuca, both of Cape May (and both old enough to remember when the show’s star, David Birney, first set hearts a-flutter in Bridget Loves Bernie back in the ’70s), saw the Hamlet show on opening weekend. Sue loves the intimacy of Cape May Stage and the ability to make eye contact with the actors. She finds herself drawn in by their talent, and encourages family and friends to see each production. Take her advice!

As the summer goes on, the shows seem to get more popular, thanks to excellent word-of-mouth. Get your tickets now for Romance/Romance, Barry Harman’s Tonynominated pair of one act plays, with music

by Keith Herrmann. There is no better setting for these connected stories of love, identity and vacation. It runs July 21 to August 21. Dinner and a Show packages are available from some of Cape May’s finest restaurants, and they promise to get you to the show on time.

OUR NEXT PRESENTATION JULY 22:

COMING UP: July 29 - Robin Hood

S

O I arrive at the theater not knowing what film I was going to see for this week’s column. So much to choose from, but I knew the independent film Standing Ovation was shot in Cape May, Wildwood – and that was all I knew about it. But I decide this would be the film I review.

Up until one minute before show time, I’m the only person in the theater. Just as the lights start to dim, in f lood about 15 tweeners! My first thought, “OMG… What have I gotten myself into?” Next thought, I’m sure they were all pointing toward me saying, “Guess senior citizens get in… like… half price.” Had I known even a little about this film, I would have brought my 13-year old, Julia, who is clearly on the older end of the Standing Ovation target audience.

This film is about five friends who comprise the “girl power” pop band The 5 Ovations. Their quest: to make a music video for a competition where the grand prize is one million dollars. Their competition: a vindictive, nasty bunch of older girls

who make up the band The Wiggies. As it started, I knew it was time to dispel any notion that this was going to be anything more than it was… tweener f lick.

Although the film saved the best music for later, the songs were somewhat catchy and the dance routines were well choreographed (in a teen pop sort of way).

The story moved along well but was overplayed and sent its fair share of mixed signals (like “gambling is wrong, kids, unless of course you’re winning…”). Most of the acting was fair, with outstanding performances from the lead, Kayla Jackson, and also notable was Najee Wilson.

Sure, some key moments were implausible, but it was good to see New Jersey’s favorite vocal coach Sal Dupree in a lead role and Cape May native Jim Maher in various shots! And of course Beach Theatre’s façade had a prominent spot in the film, along with a lot of local scenery.

One scene that clearly stole the show was when a precocious little would-be star, aptly named Alanna Wannabe (played

very well by Alanna Palombo) recruited members of the Marmora Volunteer Fire Company to act in her music video – completely adorable!

Of course, I could have saved the protagonists in this film a lot of trouble by telling them they could have had their music video completed by Cape May Film Society’s music video camp! We’re making great music videos featuring bands like Bluebone and vocalist Kristina Perez.

There will be a free screening this Friday, July 23, at 7:00pm at West Cape May Borough Hall.

Bird Droppings

A

The weekly report from the world’s birdwatching capital... by Seymore Thanu

RE you the world’s newest geek? Just admit it. You like birds. But you’ve never been on a bird walk. There. It’s out in the open now. Feel better?

You’ve never been on a bird walk because (check one or all): A. It’s geeky.

B. Bird walks start at an obscene hour.

C. You don’t want to look dumb in front of the geeks.

Let’s examine these obstacles to what is destined to be one of the greatest experiences of your life (and one of your fondest memories of your trip to Cape May).

I’m talking about the bird walk you are about to take. The one during which you will see 40, 50, maybe 60 species of birds ALL on a leisurely, two-hour walk, led by board certified non-geeky bird experts.

But let’s say your misgivings have foundation. Let’s say birdings is a little geeky.

Let’s say that only intellectually-gifted, spiritually-conscious, musically-attuned, emotionally-balanced, well-read, noble, trustworthy, honest, helpful, friendly,

courteous, kind, cheerful, brave, clean and elbow-lifting people go in for birding.

You know – geeks! The kind of people you didn’t want to date in high school (because they didn’t smell like the inside of a gym locker or wouldn’t let you past first base on a first date) BUT you wanted to marry after you got out of college because they were top prospects for a long and happy

union.

Fact. Birding is overrun with people drawn from the ranks of professionals.

Heck, they might as well just hand out binoculars and a field guide when they give med students their diplomas. You can’t swing a stethoscope and not hit a anesthesiologist or cardiologist on a bird walk.

You might also run into a few Navy Seals, some Army brass, the odd career diplomat or Broadway performer and at least one retired US president (not to mention grammar school teachers, air traffic controllers, artists, long-haul truckers, firemen, police officers, fur trappers, nurses, Fortune 500 CEOs, engineers, farmers, missionaries, strippers....) You know, people enjoying careers that sometimes geeky people seem drawn to.

So, yes. You may have to swallow your pride. You may have to rub elbows with a geek or two on your bird walk.

But, so long as you put on a fresh t-shirt (one without yellow pit stains) and don’t

Tuesdays • 3-7:30pm

start conversations with lines like: “Hey babe, you and me; how ‘bout it?” birders will overlook the fact that you are not a geek. They might give you tips like: How to adjust the loaner binoculars for your eyes.

Or the difference between a Snowy Egret and a Great Egret.

The kind of wisdom only geeks and people who really love the shore are ken to.

As for getting up early – yes.

You will have to get up early (if 7am is early for you). On the bright side, you’ll have a head start on all the non-Geeks for the rest of the day.

And you’ll need that extra time because getting up-close and personal with 40-60 different bird species takes a bit of emotional and cognitive stacking. Birding is great for the brain, great exercise and a great excuse to travel the world.

Forty to 60 species is just the down payment. There are 10,000 bird species on our planet and nobody has seen them all. You could be first, but you’ll have to start with a bird walk. If you’ve never gone on a bird walk because you don’t want to look dumb, relax.

What do you care what a bunch of geeks think, anyway?

Geeky or not, if you are interested in a bird walk, there is an opportunity almost any day of the week while you are in Cape May. The Cape May Bird

Observatory offers expertly led bird walks (every day but Sunday and Tuesday throughout July), and a couple of birding by boat trips on Sundays and Mondays.

Just stop over to the Cape May Bird Observatory, THE place for anything to do with nature, and pick up a copy of The Kestrel Express for our schedule of walks and boat trips. The CMBO (609884-2736) is located at 701 East Lake Drive overlooking lovely Lake Lily in Cape May Point and is open 9:30am to 4:30pm every day. Ask any of our staff or volunteers – they are always glad to help. Check out the latest in books (including the newest Bayshore Summer by Pete Dunne – if you bring it on the Monday morning walk, you can get your copy signed), bird feeders, and some great new and fun merchandise – including our exclusive CMBO logo jewelry, clothing, and totes. Take a look at the sightings log or our website to check what’s being seen, pick up a bargain from the vintage books section, look at some of the wonderful Charley Harper merchandise, or just browse. If you aren’t fortunate enough to be in the area, visit us online www.BirdCapeMay.org.

Seymore Thanu is none other than New Jersey’s own Pete Dunne, Director of the Cape May Bird Observatory and Vice President of Natural History for New Jersey Audubon Society. Author of several books about nature (available at the CMBO), he has written for virtually every birding publication and for The New York Times.

This evening festival of antiques, jewelry, fresh produce, great BBQ, live entertainment and more will make you happy to turn off your oven!
