CHAMPAIGN, IL: A 46-year-old man was arrested for burglary when he entered the residence of a 23-year-old man Saturday morning at the 200 block of Wright Street.

According to a police report, the subject entered the victim’s residence and cooked up several of the victim’s pork chops in spaghetti sauce and then ate them. – The Daily Illini

A Picture From The Past

Ben Miller

BUILT in 1972, The Seaport was a hotel that provided guests a choice between tworoom suites with a separate bedroom, efficiency apartments and motel rooms. It also included banquet facilities, a swimming pool and a top-floor cocktail lounge/restaurant that provided panoramic views of the beach. Eight years after it opened, the Seaport was closed. The building was gutted and reconfigured into condos. Now called the Tides, each unit is privately owned and a condo association oversees the property. Ben Miller

Random Fact Of The Week

THE lobster’s reputation as a prize delicacy can be traced to European nobility but it only gained appreciation in America in the 1900s.

Before that it was considered as the poor man’s food in Canada and was used as fertilizer and for feeding slaves.

Fortune Cookie Of The Week J Good writing is clear thinking made visible. J ONCE a week, the folks at Exit Zero eat at Cape Orient, the island’s fine Asian restaurant.

Ramblings From The Editor

E

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

VERYONE loves Cape May. That was the only consensus to emerge from last week’s tense public meeting to discuss convention hall. So if everyone loves Cape May how come there is a fundamental difference between two distinct schools of thought in this town?

There is the group which believes that the city should go ahead with the building as planned, even though it will have to be moved 24 feet toward Beach Avenue (because of state regulations) and will cost at least $3 million more than originally budgeted.

Then there is the group which wants the city to scrap this proposal and build a smaller convention hall on the existing footprint. This group won the day when the council voted, by a 3-2 majority, to go for the smaller building.

The decision was greeted by cheers, hoots and fist pumps by one group and by a feeling of severe disappointment, disbelief and concern by the other group.

Except... this isn’t the end of the story.

The people of Cape May voted by a majority of around two to one for the larger hall in a referendum in November, 2008. And it looks like the people are going to get a chance to either underline that decision, or to show that the mood of the town has changed.

Just as the group which was campaigning for the smaller building threatened a referendum if the vote didn’t go its way, the other side has hired an attorney and is proceeding to compile a petition in order to put the referendum on the ballot this November.

Some of you may read this with a very heavy heart – not ANOTHER delay!

It’s a fair point. And yet... this is the most important decision the city has had to make in decades. This new building will be a vital part

– most likely THE most vital part – of the city’s tourism infrastructure of the future.

To those who say we should just build the damn thing and get on with it, I think, with respect, that you’re under-estimating the importance of this building.

Let’s get the logistics out of the way first.

The building as planned is ready to go. The drawings are done, the construction bids are in.

If this building got the go-ahead in a November referendum then the construction should be able to begin several months later.

The construction of a smaller building (let’s call it Plan B), on the other hand, would necessitate new drawings from the architect and engineer, approval from the state (although this wouldn’t take as long as it did to get the CAFRA permit for the current plan), and then the city would have to put the building out to bid. It’s hard to imagine construction would be able to begin until the spring of next year, around the same time as Plan A. And, of course, there are extra costs involved with beginning the project from scratch. It’s unrealistic to presume that the construction of a smaller building is going to cost significantly less than the building that’s already designed.

But that’s not the most important point.

The building as planned has the potential to bring in a great deal more revenue than Plan B, simply because it will offer more seating capacity, more rooms, more retail, a larger restaurant.

There are some who like to compare this plan to what happened in the Wildwoods, where a great hunk of a center was built, with the aim of attracting major conventions. There is no comparison. I think it was a mistake to even call this projection a convention hall. Instead, the city should have called it a civic center. There is no plan to attract large groups to come here – it simply wouldn’t happen and it wouldn’t feel like a good fit for charming old Cape May. Instead, the city’s plan was/is to build a center which would provide world-class facilities for the non-profit groups who host some wonderful events – the jazz festival, the music festival, the film festival, the fledgling singersongwriter festival, the Audubon weekend, and the Victorian Week events – as well as amenities for locals and visitors to enjoy, from roller skating to Kiwanis Club pancake breakfasts.

A lot of thought (there have been seven public meetings) went into how this building would best serve Cape May – its residents and its visitors. I think the design is inspiring and the building has such remarkable flexibility that the local gardening club could organize a meeting of 20 people at the same time as jazz great Wynton Marsalis was entrancing 1500 people in the great hall, with the backdrop of the Atlantic on view through the dramatic wall of windows.

Remember, too, that the great hall could be divided into smaller portions. Even if Cape May never managed to attract 1500 people for one event, the hall would still be very functional.

Some people have pointed out that the old con-

Ramblings From The Editor ? From Page 10 vention hall only ever filled to capacity on one occasion. I can’t say I’m surprised. With mediocre acoustics, squeaky-bum seating and a thoroughly drab interior it wasn’t the kind of place to make you rush out to buy tickets.

The new hall would undoubtedly attract a higher class of talent.

Another argument against the larger building is the fear that the sea wall would be compromised by the construction of the foundations – a couple retired architects and engineers have spoken about their concerns. We’re lucky to have such knowledgeable people in our community but some of the stuff I heard sounded a little like scare tactics and I would defer to the US Army Corps of Engineers, who gave their blessing to the new design, and also to engineers who are not retired but working with all of the benefits that the latest technologies provide. Furthermore, I understand that cranes positioned on the beach would be able to carry out construction without disruption to the sea wall. More on this in a later issue (no, this is NOT the last column on this subject).

I want to go back to the first sentence I wrote – everyone loves Cape May. But as we all know, there are many kinds of love. There are those

who don’t want Cape May to change one bit, and then there are others who feel that the city has to constantly evolve in order to continue attracting visitors, who are the lifeblood of this city.

Both of these groups love Cape May. I’m not disputing that. But what I WOULD dispute is the notion that the weight of a person’s opinion is directly in proportion to the number of years that person has vacationed and/or lived in Cape May. It’s trotted out so often as a badge of honor that it’s quickly become cliché. Truly, I think people have to earn the right to be a good citizen. It doesn’t simply come with time served.

If, to use an extreme example, you’ve been lying on your favorite Cape May beach or sitting on your porch for 40 years and you’ve never given a cent of your money or a minute of your time to a community group or local non-profit, then won’t attach much weight to your opinion – especially if your sole motivation seems to be keeping your taxes down (which, in Cape May, are consistently among the 10 lowest of all the 566 New Jersey municipalities, by the way).

There are some people who think the larger hall will somehow change the character of Cape May. This seems, to me, like an alarmist point of view. It makes no sense. There are houses opposite Poverty Beach with larger facades than the planned convention hall project.

And to those folks who regard Cape May as

a haven for them to relax in the summer, away from the hustle of their primary homes, whether they be in San Francisco or the Main Line of Philadelphia, I would suggest that this city needs to be more than a bedroom by the sea. It needs a healthy cultural community of its own – for the benefit of visitors AND residents.

There will be more to say on this subject in the weeks and months to come...

MY HEART goes out to Mickey Chew and Kate Delany, a popular young couple who are having a torrid time. Mickey, the son of CMPD officer Rusty and realtor Dagmer Chew, was diagnosed with a brain tumor after suffering a seizure at the weekend. Mickey, an avid surfer who is in his 20s, has apparently been the picture of health his whole life, so you can imagine the shock felt by his family and friends.

See page 35 for details of a benefit concert. If you pray, say one for Mickey and Kate. If you don’t, send out some good karma. And either way it won’t hurt if you patronize Big Wave Burritos, which Mickey and Kate opened in May. The couple don’t have health insurance and they can use all the help they can get.

On the same sad note, I just discovered that another well-known local, Donnie Piacentine, is recovering from surgery after suffering a broken neck after diving into a pool. I hope you also make a full recovery, Donnie.

A Night On The Town

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

T

HE new Tisha’s, snuggled into the Washington Street Mall, is larger than expected. I was surprised when the white-trimmed, lightblue front dining room led through to another in the rear. There’s a front patio where my wife and I intended to sit until we were introduced to the back patio that sits about 30 feet off of Carpenter Street. From there you’re offered views of Congress Hall, the Pink House and a tree-covered Merry Widow. The patio was quiet and offered a dinner outdoors without the clamor of the mall. We could hear the ocean, a simple reminder of Tisha’s previous incarnation, oceanfront in the Solarium.

I asked Jennifer Negro, who owns Tisha’s with her husband Paul, how she felt about having to relocate. “I wasn’t surprised,” she said, “We’d been told for the past three years that ‘this is the year,’ but this year it really was.”

Paul’s mother, Letitia, opened the original Tisha’s in Wildwood in 1988, but according to Jen, “1992 was when Wildwood started to go downhill.” So, when the solarium became available in 1994, they kept the name and moved

the restaurant to the promenade in Cape May. “Tisha’s was the obvious name,” said Jennifer, “Paul is the chef here and he never had any formal training. He just learned from his mother.”

There has been much discussion about the impending plans for Convention Hall, but there are few people whose lives have been impacted by those plans more than the Negros.

“We’ve probably lost about a third of our income because of the move,” Jen said. “It’s a kick in the

teeth to us because now they’re not going to knock down the Solarium... we were prematurely asked to leave.”

Despite that, and despite the delays in opening their new restaurant, the Negros are upbeat. “I love the new place we’re in,” said Jennifer. “It’s amazing. We have 47 more seats, and we can now serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The extra size in the kitchen offers us the chance to be more creative.”

But they’re not going crazy with this newfound freedom. As my wife pointed out, “There’s a lot on this menu, but it’s not too much.” We settled on the smoked salmon parfait, shrimp bruschetta, grilled Thai salmon and shrimp, and peppered shrimp and crabcake.

As I sat beneath the starless sky and sipped my coffee while stealing bites of my wife’s flourless chocolate cake, the rushing ocean could no longer be heard. It was instead replaced by chatter of passersby headed home or toward the nearest bar. An empty wine bottle and the realization that Collier’s closed in 20 minutes were my only motivation to move.

Beef-And-Beer Concert For Mickey Chew

Boiler Room will host the event on Wednesday, August 4 for a young man struck by brain tumor

«

A BENEFIT concert is being held for Mickey Chew, a young business owner who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Mickey was airlifted to a neurological center in Trenton last weekend and operated on after suffering a seizure. He is now recovering at home while he awaits the next stage of his treatment plan.

Mickey and his wife, musician Kate Delany, opened Big Wave Burritos in Cape May two months ago. Kate is well known as a popular singer at the Rusty Nail restaurant, owned by Cape Resorts Group, and the company is organizing the benefit, at Congress Hall’s Boiler Room on Wednesday, August 4 from 10pm to 1am.

Among the performers will be Carl Behrens, David Rettinger, Doug Coventry and Acoustic Mayhem (featuring the talents of Terry O’Brien and Will Knapp). Tickets are $20 and there will also be a silent auction, with gifts donated by local businesses. Proceeds will go to benefit the couple, who have no health insurance.

“It will be a great event with many of our regular artists performing,” said Jane Mackie of Cape Resorts. “It’s such a tragedy. We wish we could do more.”

Mickey is the son of Sergeant Rusty Chew of Cape May Police Department and Dagmer Chew, owner of HomeStead real estate company.

Confessions Of A Cape May Lover

I

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

ALWAYS meet the most interesting people in Cape May, and Vanessa Ewing is a prime example. I frequented the Fiber Arts Yarn Shop after I became infatuated with knitting. She patiently tried to teach me to knit on double-pointed needles in order to make alpaca socks (no small feat!). Admittedly, I never finished the project, but I remember her fondly.

Vanessa travelled from Cape May Court House to the Fiber Arts Shop initially. Once she started school in Philadelphia at the Moore College of Art and Design, she battled traffic for two hours every weekend to the shop. Since she has moved to Lansdale, PA (and now has a newborn son!) it has been increasingly more difficult to commute, not to mention her new gig working as a designer for the Plymouth Yarn Company.

Cape May has influenced Vanessa’s creativity in countless ways. In her own words, she reflects on how she “loved going down to the beach and watching the colors of the sun reflect on the ocean… how the ripples in the receding sand, colors of seashells, and the

Victorian-themed colors were all very inspirational.” Vanessa finds that Cape May has so many layers that need to be experienced that one should definitely give the off-season a try – shorter lines, trolley rides, walking tours, and daily restaurant specials, to name a few strong points. Mostly, her favorite activity is taking her dog to the beach for a run. The morning sky does provide a palette of endless colors and hues that inspire artistic endeavors.

You can find Vanessa’s own pattern designs at Fiber Arts Yarn Shop, including a

seashell-style knitted necklace, a lacey butterfly-inspired cardigan, Victorian-style steampunk spats, Lady of Shalott-inspired ruffled purse, ruffled scarves, and a couple of fun legwarmer designs. If you’re feeling that you need some direction in your knitted projects, Vanessa plans on teaching some workshops or classes on the weekend. Also, there’s the annual knitting retreat which is held in March/ April and offers Vanessa’s expertise in everything from a knit pattern drafting class to a fimo clay button class.

Learning how to create handmade items has become increasing popular, cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly. Vanessa finds that she enjoys a balance of both designing and creating the actual items. There is the challenge of the technical aspect of a design and then the rewarding delight of creating a project by hand.

You can visit the Fiber Arts Yarn Shop at 315 Ocean Avenue, in Washington Commons, or at www.etsy.com/shop/vanessaewing, where you can find both patterns and handmade knit goods. Until next week…

The Old Fogey

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

I

HAVE had many an unpleasant encounter with crabs. I remember once, not long after we liberated Paris from the Nazis, and I was partying at a grand house with a lady whom I took to be a countess but in fact turned out to be an acrobat from a traveling bordello/circus. Well, we got on like a house on fire (or rather chateau on fire – which by chance it was, soon after, but that’s another tale), but when I awoke three days later on the beach at Cannes, naked except for my medals, I had this devilish itch that… oh hold on, my faithful man-servant Kitchener is arriving and handing me a piece of paper, which says, let me see: “This week’s themed issue is crustaceans, not crabs, you old fool!”

Oh. Thank you, Kitchener.

So, anyway, I do love a crustacean.

I keep a tank in the basement, for special occasions. Originally, I had the monstrous 30-foot long, 20-foot deep and 50-foot wide aquarium built to house the mermaid who one day washed up on the beach, but she upped and left for a freak

show in Atlantic City and I believe she married that f laxen-haired devil Donald Trump.

So the tank sat empty, perfectly maintained with plants, sand, shells and all the other requirements a princess of the ocean might require. Until, that is, I found Raymonde. I was dining out at The Lobster House and as per my usual instructions the lobster tank was wheeled over for my inspection. I saw a robust specimen glow-

ering at me from the back, and tapped the glass twice with my cane. “That’s the fella,” I opined. To my surprise, the lobster scuttled forward to the front of the tank and rapped right back at me, twice. Well, I immediately tested him by tapping the first 10 bars of “Danny Boy”, and would you believe he tapped back exactly, then performed the opener of that pipe-anddrum classic “Black Bear” at me, which I struggled to continue with my cane.

It was like “Dueling Banjos” except with an old gent and a lobster, and three hours later we were the best of friends.

To this day, Raymonde has lived in the basement, coming out occasionally for a walk around the grounds, and to watch television (he adores Dr Who on BBC America).

He has grown somewhat, and measures four feet from tip to toe, and his diet has grown in parallel to include ground meat, fry and shoebies.

Really, it is a match made in heaven.

The Organic Column

T

A useful and inspiring guide to eating healthy, natural foods - by Katie Panamarenko

HE most widely-asked question of a vegetarian would probably be, “How are you getting all your calcium, iron and protein if you don’t eat meat?!” I often would like to rebut this with, “How are you getting fiber, vitamins and other essentials to combat all the protein and junk you are eating?”

A vegetarian diet full of wholegrains, fruits and vegetables is one of the healthiest there is. However, vegetarians and especially vegans can be at risk of lacking vital nutrients such as calcium, iron and protein, especially if they are the French fry-eating, soda-drinking, cookie-loving kinds of vegetarians.

A great supplement to our needs, and a native to our little town of Cape May, is the lima bean! It is a good source of B vitamins, protein, fiber, iron, potassium, and magnesium; and they have very little fat. Studies suggest that lima beans can help to lower LDL cholesterol levels, probably due to their soluble fiber content, and also contain compounds that may impart anticancer benefits.

Most folks know we receive calcium from

milk. It’s been drilled into our diets since I can remember – Got Milk? What they don’t advertise is the fats and cholesterol that come along with it. Also, it is rarely discussed that we are the only species to drink another animal’s milk and the only species to persist drinking milk beyond infantile years. The ideal options for finding calcium are spinach, fortified orange juice, sesame seeds, tahini, broccoli, almonds, carrots, collard greens, kale, soy milk, and rice milk.

Studies have found that iron levels in

vegetarians and vegans are, on average, higher than those of the general population. Drinking coffee and tea can limit your absorption, however, and should be consumed at least three hours before a meal.

For an iron boost, if needed, try eating tofu, lentils (or limas!), spinach, soy, chickpeas and/or hummus. Vitamin C also increases the absorption of iron, so if you take an iron supplement, wash it down with some orange juice.

The little-known truth about protein is that most of us get too much, not too little.

Lots of foods contain protein and if you’re eating a well-balanced diet you’re probably consuming more than enough protein. Some high protein foods are soy, lentils (limas again!), chickpeas, nuts and seeds, brown rice and whole grains.

So have no fear vegetarians, vegans and those who hold them dear. It would appear that we are doing just fine – we are getting our vitamins in due time. It’s the carnivores who need to ensure they are getting what they need.

Try it... you’ll like it.

Didn’t your mother always tell you that? Well, guess what... she’s right, especially when it comes to the new menu at an old favorite...

“Triceratops”, a stunning study of driftwood at Higbee Beach, is featured in Victor Grasso’s new show which opens at SOMA NewArt Gallery on Saturday, August 7.

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 What are the rules on public displays of affection? Our friend and her new boyfriend are constantly pawing each other when we’re all out and it’s getting annoying. – Third, Fourth and Fifth Wheels Dear Wheels Ah, the PDA – just one of many occupational hazards of having to live amongst other human beings. Even so, certain common sense guidelines should apply here.

Cape May in the summer is a petri dish of tourists and locals alike lulled by the sensuous sun, sea, and the general I’m-onvacation-I-can-do-whatever vibe. Throw in a couple of umbrella drinks and the fact that everyone’s half-dressed, and the next thing you know there are lips, hands and tongues everywhere. The Answer Lady is not saying that whilst in Cape May one must

break out the chastity belt. On the contrary, if your heart doesn’t melt at the sight of an older couple holding hands strolling along the beach, then you have no sense of romance. But general consideration for those around you should prevail against the potential perils of passion. Hand-holding, a brief kiss, a gentleman’s hand at the small of a lady’s back – these things are perfectly acceptable in public spaces. Tongue gymnastics, wildly roaming hands, and any form of smacking, grunting or sighing are

not acceptable. Since the offenders in question are your friends, you are within your rights to suggest they ‘get a room.’ Or perhaps since we’re in Cape May, ‘get a B&B’ would be more accurate.

Dear Answer Lady I haven’t been to Cape May in several years and am looking forward to a visit soon. Do I really have to drive to Rio Grande to see a movie? – Movie Buff Dear Buff Don’t be silly, young man! You’ve got two options right here in Cape May. On Wednesdays, bring the kids for Family Dinner & A Movie at Congress Hall. Adults pay $29.95, kids $12.95 for a fabulous dinner and dessert buffet, followed by a family-friendly movie on the lawn. Or just do dessert and the movie for an insanely low $10. And the only thing cheaper than that is ‘free,’ which is the cost of Movies on the Beach on Thursday nights, behind Convention Hall. Who needs those sticky movie theater chairs when you can sprawl on the sand or the grass instead? Pass the popcorn, please.

Cape Curiosity

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

T

HE USS S-5 was the navy’s pride and joy when it was launched in November of 1919. With a length of more than 230 feet, the submarine was 70 feet longer than the Cape May lighthouse would be if you laid it on its side. Picture one block of the mall, from Perry Street to Jackson Street. That’s almost 231 feet and that’s how big the USS S-5 was.

Today’s subs are almost twice that length but back in 1919 a submersible of those dimensions was a source of national pride. The ship underwent nearly a year of sea trials which were set to culminate with a full-speed test of the submarine’s power while submersed.

It was decided that the final exam would take place off Cape May, at a depth of 200 feet. Captain Charles M. Cooke, Jr steered the USS S-5 out of the Boston Navy Yard and towards Cape May on August 30, 1920.

The sub was in the midst of the dive around 1pm the following day, when the Chief of the Boat made a fatal mistake. After

Cape Curiosity ? From Page 101 missing a cue to close the air induction valve as the boat went under water, he reacted by grabbing it as hard as he could and trying to slam it into place. But the valve broke and remained open, allowing sea water through the ducts that were meant to bring in fresh air while the sub was on the surface.

The crew ran around the submarine, attempting to close individual ventilation valves throughout the vessel, but the torpedo room valve wouldn’t budge. Realizing the hopeless situation, they sealed the airtight doors and the room filled with water. It wasn’t long before the USS S-5 was resting on the sandy bottom, leaving the 40 crew members with little chance of survival.

While some lamented their fate, others came up with an ingenious solution. Since the majority of the water was contained in the front of the ship, they could force air into the ballast tanks on the rear part of the ship and force that section up. With the submarine being 231 feet long and them trapped 200 feet below the surface, if they were able to force in enough air, it would tilt the subvertical and a portion of the rear would stick out of the water.

It may sound like some crazy scheme

The “SS Alanthus” stands by the partially sunken USS S-5 off the coast of Cape May in September of 1920. The “Alanthus” helped in the rescue of the 40 crew members.

you’d see in a movie or on MacGyver, but it actually worked! With one brisk motion that saw some crew members sent flying down hallways and across rooms, the submarine was turned nearly vertical with its front stuck in the sand and its rear sticking 17 feet out of the water.

The crew was saved thanks to some quick thinking and more than a little luck – passing ships saw the peculiar sight and helped sailors from the USS S-5 cut an escape hole in the thick hull. The piece of the submarine that was removed to make the hole

is currently on display at the Navy Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. As for the rest of the USS S-5, the remains lie on the ocean floor about 50 miles off Cape May. The battleship Ohio attempted to tow the submarine to shore, but the lines snapped and with a big hole cut into the USS S-5, it quickly took on more water and sank.

Today, divers routinely visit the submerged vessel and if you would like to see what it looks like today, go to Youtube and search ‘S-5 submarine’.

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).

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: A trip on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry.

T

RAVEL south to Cape May and you are likely to hear, or sing, a few choruses of “On the Way to Cape May,” especially if a member of your party is of retirement age. Travel north, on the Cape May/ Lewes Ferry, and the tune is “The Ferry Boat Serenade.” The English-language version of this Italian tune was popularized by the Andrews sisters, and, as World War II history tours of the Delaware Bay become more popular, your chances of avoiding this infectious tune shrink.

I love to ride the ferry Where music is so merry There’s a man who plays the concertina On the moonlit upper deck arena Danny and Glynn Dugan came from North Carolina recently to attend an informal reunion of the Woodbridge High School Class of 1975, held at a home in North Cape May. They took the first ferry from Delaware, met a group of history buffs on their way to MAC’s World War II trolley tour, and

came ashore with a new appreciation for the Andrews Sisters.

Danny considers the ferry the best part of his biannual drive back to New Jersey. The 17-mile, 85-minute trip may not save you time, but it saves you driving. You can nap, eat, drink, and socialize.

You can watch friendly dolphins play in the

ship’s wake. You can shop for souvenirs. If you have kids or grandkids, you can frolic with Lighthouse Pete, the furry ferry mascot. You can bring your own furry mascot – leashed dogs are allowed on the outer decks. The Dugans were early for the first ferry from the Delaware side, and therefore were first on board. “I felt like I was driving the boat,” said Dan. Daytrippers also love the ferry, which is, first and foremost, a delightful boat ride.

You can bring your car or bicycle, or go on foot and take advantage of the shuttle buses to tour Delaware’s beaches and historic sites. Great outlet shopping is also available. At the end of a long day in Delaware, you return to Cape May as the sun sets over the bay.

Reservations are recommended, especially if you are bringing the car, and a photo ID is required for adults. Get there 30 minutes early to check in. Let someone else drive for a while, and you’ll love the ferry, too.

There’s So Much Magic At The Stage!

R

ADVERTISER FEATURE OMANCE/ROMANCE had a spectacular opening last week spreading the magic of romance throughout Cape May. Audiences can’t stop talking about these Broadway performers. The theatre is magic and when something special happens everyone wants to see it.

The Second Stage Series picks up on that magic with a special family show today at 11:00am called Magic at the Cape that will astound both children and adults. This popular celebration of all things magical will be performed again next Wednesday, August 4 at the same time. Michael Russell Walsh and Johnny Mass wowed audiences last Christmas with their Grand Parlour Magic Show and they are back by popular demand.

The foibles of dating are explored

by Cape May Stage’s acting interns in Romantic Fools this Saturday night at 10:30pm. These talented and attractive performers will tickle your funny bone – or some other body part. Have a drink and come to the show or start your evening at the show and get a coupon for a complimentary beverage at Cabanas. It’s on us. Cape May Stage is a party. Join the fun.

Speaking of fun, get ready for Operation Adelmo on August 2. Noted operatic baritone Adelmo Guidarelli presents Operation Adelmo: The

Noted operatic baritone Adelmo Guidarelli presents “Operation Adelmo: The Clown Prince of Opera!” on August 2.

Cape May Stage’s talented interns feature in the unmissable “Romantic Fools” Saturday at 10:30pm.

Clown Prince of Opera. In this raucous and hilarious show, Guidarelli entertains both die-hard opera lovers and self-avowed haters of the art. By weaving well-known arias with their pop culture counterparts, Guidarelli keeps the audience laughing. This operatic clown has sold out venues in New York and all over the world. We are so lucky to have his special brand of madness in Cape May. The Broadway Series continues on Monday,

August 9 with Emmy nominee Dominic Chianese who plays Uncle Junior on The Sopranos. Did you know that even mafia hit men have a soft romantic side?

Hear Dominic sing Italian Songs from His Childhood interspersed with anecdotes about his acting career. It will be great fun.

Bravo Adelmo. Bravo Romance.

Bravo Cape May Stage.

The Cape May Crossword None of that generic nonsense you see in other papers... a puzzle just for this town! By Dan Mathers.

CROSSWORD

SO YOU love crosswords and you love Cape May? Great. Sit down, get a cup (or glass) of your favorite beverage, relax and enjoy this puzzle. The answers to the crossword all deal with the theme of this week’s issue, which is crustaceans. The solution can be found on the front page of our website, www.exitzero.us.

ACROSS 3. The vast majority of crustaceans reside in this type of environment.

5. Thriving in deep, cold waters, this creature resembling a huge pill bug is a common treat in northern Taiwan.

8. Despite the name, don’t be fooled, these creatures you may find overturned on Higbee Beach are not crustaceans.

11. You might eat this type of crab whole in a sandwich. It’s not a different species, just a crab that’s recently molted its exterior.

12. Not do be confused with the bugs pestering your pet, this crustacean lives on the beach, and leaves those little red dots on your feet.

13. This nonsensical ode to sea life was the first single released by the B-52s in 1978.

17. Forrest Gump’s friend Bubba was an aficionado when it came to the variety of ways to prepare this crustacean.

18. The body of a crustacean is composed of this many body segments.

19. Hidden within a six-sided shell this crustacean will attach itself to boat, pier or other hard surface in shallow water and

So what if it has eyes? It’s delicious – 6 Down.

extend its legs to pull in plankton.

20. Your kids might want to stop by Celebrate Cape May and pick up one of these caged crustaceans to keep as their next pet.

21. Also known as Langouste, this clawless lobster draws its name from its bristly antennae.

22. A person who is easily annoyed or extremely irritable is said to be this.

DOWN 1. Nine people were injured when the floor of this Wildwood Crest restaurant collapsed in 2008.

2. Although this large-clawed lobster is technically the American Lobster, we typically refer to it by the name of this state.

4. Like insects, crustaceans’ bodies are encased by a rigid exterior, a bodily support system known as this.

6. Similar in appearance to shrimp, these

swimming crustaceans possess claws on three sets of legs.

7. With leg spans of more than 12 feet and weighing up to 41 pounds, this is easily the largest crustacean.

9. This freshwater crustacean is referred to as a crawdad throughout the central US. Here, we usually call it this.

10. Follow captain Sig and his crew across the Bering Sea as they set out for king crab in this hit Discovery Channel show.

11. Due to the articulation of their legs, most crabs can only ambulate this direction.

14. These crabs, caught off the West Coast, are appreciated for their thick, meaty legs.

15. A single species of this shrimp-like invertebrate thriving in the Antarctic Ocean has a biomass twice that of humans.

They’re the primary food source for baleen whales.

16. Crustacean fossils date all the way back to this first geological period of the Paleozoic Era.

The Movie Column

Tom Sims, Executive Director of Cape May Film Society, recaps the Cape May Music Video Camp

T

HE Cape May Film Society has hosted its film camp for years now, but it has never hosted a sequel. This past week, selections from the Cape May Music Video camp included a sequel to a short film featured during its first camp: TC Legit.

We also screened two brand-new music videos.

If you thought Cape May wasn’t ready for Victorian gangsters, how about Victorian gang battles? In TC Legit 2: A New Gang in Town, we find that the gang has dwindled to one member, leaving him vulnerable to new all-girl challengers: K2.

What does K2 stand for? Krumpet Krew — as leading member Fructose says, “Because krumpets were served in the afternoon, and they’re way more legit than teacups!”

Thanks to the new vintage photo store at the City Centre Mall, there was even a f lashback sequence!

The first music video starred Kristina Perez, a rising star from Westfield, New Jersey, who is currently on a national tour with a rock chorus. The song, “Poor Girl,”

The music video for “Devil Keep Chewin’” includes an undermining mischief-maker.

tells the story of a poor girl in a “rich kid’s town.” The students from camp created a narrative which they weaved through footage of Kristina singing.

The second music video featured the song “Devil Keep Chewin’,” written by Cape May local Jay Bethel and performed by his band Bluebone. The story follows a guy trying to stay out of trouble, but “no matter what I do, the devil keep chewin’ on me.” In the video, students tell the tale of a

struggling main character who unwittingly gets in more trouble because of a red-clad tagalong.

Like any worthy music video, you can find these selections online at the Cape May Film Society’s YouTube channel, www. youtube.com/user/capemayfilm or contact us for a DVD copy. Congratulations to our students: Alexandra Love, Valerie Iaconangelo, Michael Giansante, Russ Sperry, and Michael Hall. And thanks to our teachers Peter Grana and Scott Hinkle.

Thanks to a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, the Film Society is hosting a free screening and lecture with the film The Yes Men Fix the World. The film follows two gonzo journalists posing as corporate representatives and was a favorite from the 2009 Cape May Film Festival.

The screenings will take place in libraries throughout Cape May and Atlantic Counties beginning Wednesday, August 4, at 5:30pm in the Cape May Court House Library. For a list of times, contact us at (609) 884-6700, email capemayfilm@hotmail.com, or visit our website www.capemayfilm.org.

Bird Droppings

T

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

HIS is a column about why I like Cape May. It is very easy to write because there is a lot to like in Cape May. One of the things I like most is birds. Another thing I like is liking birds.

Yet another thing I like is writing about the birds I like to like. And talking to other people who like to like birds and listening to other people who like to like birds.

There are a lot of people in Cape May who like birds. Nice, friendly people. The kind of people you would like to like.

We likeable birders all stand around, very likeable-like; happy and joyful, fulfilled and spreading cheer everywhere we go. We talk about birds we’ve seen and liked, and about birds we’d really like to see – like Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, for instance (which are a rarity that have been seen quite regularly since July 18).

Okay, maybe I lied. Sometimes liking birds leads to a small measure of un-likeable frustration. Even in Cape May. This smallest level of frustration, that leads to not liking Cape May as much as

EXCELLENT REFERENCES • Free Estimates

before, happens when a bird you really like shows up in Cape May but you don’t see it.

It’s silly, but we birders have a penchant for liking birds we haven’t seen more than liking the ones we have seen. Kind of schizophrenic, wouldn’t you say? Bipolar, even.

You see, finally seeing a bird we’d really like to see is especially happy and fulfilling.

Conversely, not seeing a bird that we’d really

like to see makes us feel less happy and less fulfilled. Commonly, the way birders learn about birds they wanted to see (but didn’t) is while standing around with a likeable birding friend who interrupts the friendly conversation with an observation like: “What? You mean you didn’t see the Black-bellied Whistling Ducks? They were here for a week! Didn’t anybody tell you?”

Even in a place as likeable as Cape May, speaking with someone as likeable as a fellow birder, this is not a likeable situation. It can give you border-line unlikeable thoughts.

Right off, the bird you’d really like to see suddenly becomes the bird you’d really, really, really, REALLY like to see more than anything else in the whole word.

Then, there is the less-than-likeable urge to rip the larynx out of the likeable person you are talking to and feed it to the nearest gull before going home and mixing one or three stiff drinks preparatory to going online and electronically pissing

Tuesdays • 3-7:30pm

on the legs of all your selfish ex-birding friends who failed to alert you to the presence of the bird that means more to you than life and death.

You know. That stupid, feathered miscreant that showed up in Cape May last week and didn’t have the freaking decency to let you see it. Stop. Pour another drink. Damned duck!

If there isn’t a season on Blackbellied Whistling Ducks there should be. They ought to put a bounty on the ugly, harlot-faced, scum-sucking little...

It can make you want to sell your optics and move to a place where birds are only slightly less common than empty space and idiot writers don’t put drivel in local rag sheets about why they like Cape May. Which is a very lovely, likeable place despite the treacherous birds, treacherous friends, and the schizophrenic, bipolar (but otherwise likeable) writers who infest this town.

Seen any good birds lately?

Don’t say yes.

I don’t know if the aforementioned Black-bellied Whistling Ducks will still be around when you read this, but if they are, the Cape May Bird Observatory offers bird walks (every day but Sunday and Tuesday throughout July) where you might just get lucky enough, unlike the writer, to have someone pick them out for you.

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 full schedule of walks and boat trips. The CMBO (609-884-2736) is located at 701 East Lake Drive overlooking lovely Lake Lily in Cape May Point and is open 9:30am to 4:30pm daily. Our staff and volunteers are always glad to help with anything you need – even things you didn’t know you needed yet. Check out the latest in books (including the newest Bayshore Summer by Pete Dunne – which if you bring with you on the Monday morning walk, you can get him to personalize), bird feeders, and some great new merchandise, including our exclusive CMBO logo jewelry, clothing, totes, and more. Take a look at the sightings log or our website to check what’s being seen, scan the bookshelves, pick up a bargain from the used and 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 – where birding Cape May is only a click away.

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 the New Jersey Audubon Society. Author of several books on and about nature (available at the Cape May Bird Observatory), 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!
