The Police Blotter

GRASS VALLEY, CA: A 2:10pm caller from the 10000 block of Bettcher Court reported a neighbor was yelling at him. The neighbor called and said the first caller was swinging a baseball bat at his friends. The first caller then called back and said the neighbor’s friends were trying to run him over. Deputies went to the scene to mediate the matter.

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 to make for easy reading.

Do you wish you could have kept your royalty like Britain? Vy by hoteli chtob v Rossii vse byla monarhia kak v Britanii?

And, here is how your friend is likely to respond: Net. tsari ne samye dobrozhelateknye dikatory. Which translates to: No. The tsars weren’t exactly benevolent dictators. – Tanya Zotava

Weird Word Of The Week

Nudiustertian It might sound like an alien who doesn’t wear clothes, but it actually means the day before yesterday.

A Picture From The Past

Don Pocher

AS THIS picture from 1870 shows, some things never change. Just like today’s visitors climb onto empty lifeguard chairs or huddle in the dinghies for pictures, so did Victorian guests. This picture was taken in front of today’s Inn of Cape May. Avondale now sits where the two houses are in the middle of the picture. If you look just behind the people, you can see the railing that lined the boardwalk and in the distance, you can see the columns of the Stockton Hotel – their private lifesaving service used this dinghy. Ben Miller

Facebook Mystery Contest

Go to the Exit Zero Facebook page before Monday for a full-size, full-color photo and instructions on how to enter – follow the instructions carefully.

Random Fact Of The Week

PRINCE Filipe of Portugal and his father, King Carlos, were shot by a revolutionary assassin in 1908. The king was killed instantly, while the prince survived the initial shootings, but died on his way to hospital.

Technically, he was king for a few minutes.

Fortune Cookie Of The Week J Take care and sensitivity you show towards others with be returned to you. 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 the Bento Box (teriyaki, tempura, sushi, rice and a salad). 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

H

AVING been misinformed that they could provide us some background information about East Lynne Theatre, my wife and I joined Carol and Duck Menz for drinks before the opening performance of The Dictator. “I never do anything like this,” said, “I’m usually in bed by this time.”

As for Duck, he admitted he wasn’t a theatre buff – “I don’t even do that well with TV,” he said, before downing a glass of Knob Creek bourbon with me. After accumulating a decent buzz, we headed to the theatre.

There was the standard warning at the beginning of the show to silence all cellphones – Duck assured us he hadn’t brought his. Then, early in the first act Duck’s pocket started quacking. His initial reaction was to reach into his pocket and squeeze the phone between his hands to muffle the duck.

“Turn it off!” Carol hissed.

“I don’t know how,” Duck said, not quietly.

He took the phone from his pocket and a chorus of waterfowl erupted as he passed it to his wife. The longer you go without answering

the phone, the more ducks join in.

“Turns out it was my KEYS that I left at home,” Duck laughed.

I was nearly in tears, and Duck’s one-man show set the tone for the rest of the performance. The crowd – extremely diverse in age – were all enjoying full-on laughter by the time the show stopped for intermission. “I must say,” started Duck as he slapped his wife with the program, “I’m having fun!” This came from a

man who admitted television and movies only hold his interest with fast-paced shootouts and action scenes. So this was quite a compliment.

The interactions between Gayle Stahlhuth, playing the part of the fiery Juanita, and Brad Heikes, a clever card shark and accidental criminal, kept the crowd laughing straight through to the end. Brad, an actor who’s appeared on Broadway, was very frank about his reasons for joining East Lynne for The Dictator. “I got a job offer,” he said.

Brad atoned for this moments later by mentioning how happy he was to be in Cape May and what a pleasure it was working at East Lynne. Clifford (Frank) Rivera seconded that motion. “I’m gonna be sad to leave. It’s a great break from the noise and traffic of Manhattan.”

I should mention that an understated performance from Frank, as a two-timing, pennyhungry local, was funny in its own right.

Before leaving, I asked Duck for his review of the show. “I actually enjoyed it more than the movies,” he said, “because it was… it was right here. It was live.”

Confessions Of A Cape May Lover

I

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

UNDERSTAND that the new Convention Hall debate is vital, and how there are many vested interests and emotions which come into play regarding this plan. I was struck

by Jack Wright’s words in the Ramblings column on July 27 – that some folks feel that the longer they’ve been a resident or vacationer of Cape May, the more heavily their opinion should be factored. From the f lip side, I also see how some people may feel that the longer they’ve been around, the more they’ve seen — in terms of successes, failures, mishaps, bad judgment calls, and shrewd decision-making. These people may feel that they have an insider’s perspective to what newcomers may gloss over. Newcomers may breathe life into something that has become stagnant.

However, the overall decision must propel the continued growth of the Cape May. I live in a small town that shares many of the same struggles Cape May currently faces. It’s actually ironic how the issues almost parallel those of Cape May: park-

ing meter woes, new building in the heart of town being re-constructed, overzealous parking ticket distribution, some citizens welcoming change and others not so much.

In the end, the interest should be for the growth of the town. It is certainly difficult to deal with change, but sometimes it just has to happen.

Not that my opinion in this matter counts. I’m not a citizen of Cape May and I don’t pay property taxes there (though if I could reduce my property taxes here to a

Cape May amount, I could afford a second home!). I’ve vacationed there my entire life, so we’ll round it out to roughly 30 years.

I’ve seen some pleasing changes and some unsightly ones. There were some I did not initially agree with, but as time passed, I realized that they were the right decision for Cape May and aided the town’s continued progress. Which Convention Hall design would offer the most options? Is the larger design more risky but also more beneficial in the long run?

The similarities between my town and Cape May end with the local economy: my hometown isn’t largely supported by tourism. Cape May plays host to a wide variety of local happenings and larger scale events.

The more functional the accommodations are, the more Cape May can provide to its citizens, its returning visitors, and the future tourists who have yet to discover it.

I’ll leave you with an observation from Benjamin Franklin: “Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.” “at the beach” 715 Beach Ave., Cape May, NJ (609) 884-1233 www.zoescapemay.com Eat In • Take Out

The Old Fogey

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

I

WENT off the Royals after Queen Vicky. She was a classy lady, that one: tough as old boots and she carried a f latiron hidden in her muff that she would whip out and rattle off a chap’s brow if she thought he was not showing respect.

I was also very fond of Prince Albert, her beloved consort, although I have not forgiven him for persuading me to adopt that particular style of personal piercing he pioneered, and that was for a short while all the rage.

It wasn’t that I was unhappy with the results, just that I was passing a junk yard some months later as the large magnet a working-class fellow was operating from a crane passed close overhead. My feet were off the ground faster than I could say “A pox on you, sirrah!” and I was dangling 30 feet off the ground by my codpiece.

I shall speak no more of the incident, other than to say that I have never been happier to have a pocket knife on me than that day. Nor have I cried so much as an adult, excepting that awful time every few

years that my trusty, faithful Yorkshrie Terrier Young Albert (the common name is mere coincidence) passes away, to be carried in state by a dozen black-clad men to the bottom of the garden and lovingly placed in a tiny black marble replica of the Taj Mahal.

Of course I have fought like a lion both for and against various royals: I was initially on the side of King George, then very much against him in this fine nation’s

revolutionary spat.

And I was at the head of the mob howling for Marie Antoinette’s head after she told us to go and eat macaroons (later accounts have been garbled: had she really asked us to eat cake I would have calmed the whole thing down, as I have always been easily won over by a nice walnut loaf). And then again I was Robert Bruce’s right-hand man when he drove the hated English from Scotland, in part because he was what every king should be – bold, tall, handsome and whimsically cruel – and in part because I have legs that are crowdstoppers in a kilt, and wanted to be on the side that dressed best. (I let this principle drop in WWII.) Modern-day royals, though, are a different matter. They need to go the way of the buffalo: hunted, skinned and eaten until they no longer walk the earth. I suppose I would make an exception for Queen Liz of England, as she is very ancient. And would taste stringy.

Yours fondly, my humble servants.

The Organic Column

T

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

HIS week I thought it would be interesting to look at some synonyms for “organic”. I found these terms were not only alternates but also explained, almost poetically, what organic can mean beyond its simple synonym.

ANIMATE – make somebody or something lively. Precisely what an organic diet can do for an individual who commits to an organic lifestyle. When you cleanse your body of toxins and hormonally altered foods you literally feel refreshed, energized and renewed.

BIOLOGICAL – of living things. There are no frills with organic. It is merely true, natural, untainted growth and production. And of course, pesticides are generally NOT of living things.

CELLULAR – containing small parts or groups. Going back to the individuals ideals and practices, condoning smaller farms producing higher quality but perhaps not as much quantity (as we have led ourselves to believe we need).

CONSTITUTIONAL – in accordance with

the constitution. This one just gives me smile and perhaps a glimmer of hope that one day it will be constitutional to employee organic practices as law.

ELEMENTAL – basic. Organic practice is a simple concept. A crop or animal grows and produces at its own rate with nothing but that which it would/could use from the earth itself.

ESSENTIAL – necessary. If we don’t take the dire steps of change we could do permanent damage to our soil and ourselves and,

therefore, our quality of life.

INNATE – present from birth. We are born organic. It is up to us to make it a priority to maintain that purity.

INTEGRAL – forming an essential part of something. Organic should be an integral part of our daily lives – in our meals, daily activities and more! Organic can span beyond food as well. It is a way of thinking, acting and being.

PRIMARY – most important. Eating and more specifically nutrition is one of our primary means of survival. Why not make every effort to hold the highest standard for that which keeps us alive?

PRIME – best. Organic is of the highest quality and of the purest form.

PRIMITIVE – first. In the beginning there was organic. No pesticides, growth hormones or mass production. Just 0rganic.

VITAL – required for the continuation of life.

Need I say more?

If organic is unattainable, the next best choice is to shop at your local farm stands.

After all, we ARE the Garden State!

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...

The Carriage House at the Physick Estate.

NEW THIS SUMMER...

Quiche of the Day • Wraps Panini of the Day • Entrée Salads

Victor Grasso’s new show opens this Saturday... don’t miss it!

A

SHOW of new work by Cape May artist (and Exit Zero legend) Victor Grasso will open at SOMA NewArt Gallery this 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 startlingly-mischievous 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.

For more information contact SOMA NewArt Gallery, 31 Perry Street, Cape May (609) 898-7488, www.somagallery@verizon. net.

Don’t Miss A Memorable Night In White

L

Fundraiser will ensure that local schoolchildren will benefit from culture programs

EAVE your corsets and top hats at home and break out your summer whites for A Night in White, an unmissable fundraiser being held by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts and Humanities this Monday, August 9.

Enjoy an open bar, catering by the Carriage House Tearoom & Café, music by Cape May’s favorite DJ, Tony Genaro, with Bill Bittman on steel drums, dancing, summertime food and beverage and more – all for a great cause! Admission is $65 per person. Casual summer white attire required.

A Night in White: An Evening for Education will help benefit thousands of area schoolchildren. Committed to educating schoolchildren and interpreting the Cape May region’s unique history, the MidAtlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities served more than 10,000 students last year.

History comes alive in and out of area classrooms with programs administered

by MAC. Cape May’s only Victorian house museum, the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington Street, will host the event,

An architecture walk is just one of the many ways in which MAC educates local children

which will run from 6pm to 9pm.

One of MAC’s major missions is to provide professional development to teachers and educational outreach to schoolchildren and adults in subject areas corresponding to the organization’s public programming.

MAC’s educational programs help teachers satisfy curriculum standards and achieve educational goals, and help to enhance and

expand the classroom by bringing to life 200 years of area history. Students are able to work with professional musicians, learn about the area’s important World War II history by climbing the recently restored World War II Lookout Tower, discover Cape May’s maritime heritage with classroom programs, experience the Victorian lifestyle with living history presentations and much more.

MAC has been certified by the New Jersey Department of Education as a professional development provider. MAC’s public history programs are funded in part by an operating support grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission in the Department of State. Free educational programs will be funded in part through proceeds from A Night in White. The Cape May Music Festival’s educational outreach component is funded in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State and by PNC Arts Alive.

For reservations and more information about A Night In White, call MAC on (609) 884-5404 or 800-275-4278, or visit its website at www.capemaymac.org.

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 I’ve got the halfway-through-summer-and-I’m-so-stressed-I’m-gonna-killsomebody blues. I’m working three jobs, the heat’s driving me crazy, and I can’t afford a vacation. What can I do to cheer up before I start running over tourists on rental bikes? – Crazy from the Heat Dear Crazed You poor dear – clearly you are in dire straits. The Answer Lady presumes that you are working three jobs because you have to, and will therefore not insult you by suggesting that you quit one of those jobs (unless of course you ARE in a position to do so, in which case, the Answer Lady beseeches you, on behalf of the fine area bike rental businesses, please quit one of those jobs). If that’s not possible, please seek the elusive happy medium. It

would be lovely if we could f lee to some farf lung destination at the first signs of stress, but our attitudes needn’t be vacation-orbust. Treat yourself to small indulgences.

It sounds clichéd, but a walk on the beach provides an excellent attitude adjustment – take one when you can. Grab an ice cream sundae from the Dry Dock between your work shifts, even if it’s only once a week.

Pop into Good Scents for something soothing – incense, a candle, or some yummy body products to help you unwind. Or try

MaryAnn’s

the Answer Lady’s no-fail day-brightener: f lowers. Visit Kate’s Flower Shop or Cape Winds at their new location, and get yourself a nosegay – it is happiness in a vase.

Dear Answer Lady Life at the shore means I’m always the hostess and never the guest. Soon I’ll be staying with a relative for a week, and I need to brush up on my guest etiquette.

Suggestions? – Shoe On the Other Foot Dear Shoe Some basics: despite insistence by your host or hostess to make yourself at home, this is not an invitation to parade around in your underwear, put your feet up on the furniture, or stay up with the television blasting long after your hosts have retired.

Help with the dishes when dining at home, and if you can’t treat, then split the check when dining out. Your host should be made aware of any special food issues you may have, but this is not license to arrive with a fully-packed cooler of “your” food. Bring a small hostess gift when you arrive, or send one with a thank-you note after you’ve departed. In short, behave yourself!

Cape Curiosity

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

T

HINGS happened rather quickly near the end of World War II, with the death of President Roosevelt on April 12, 1945 followed two weeks later by the deaths of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. German Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz succeeded Hitler and addressed the German nation on May 1, saying that Hitler had died a hero’s death (he committed suicide) and pledged that he would “save Germany from destruction by the advancing Bolshevik enemy.”

Dönitz held the position of president for just under a month before he was arrested and tried for war crimes. The writing was on the wall for Dönitz from the start of his reign and he knew Germany had no chance of winning, so regardless of his radio address, he ordered his military leaders to surrender. A representative of his traveled to Dwight D. Eisenhower’s office in France and on the morning of May 7, signed an order for “All forces under German control to cease active operations at 23:01 hours Central

Cape Curiosity ? From Page 101 European Time on 8 May 1945.”

It’s worth noting that prior to succeeding Hitler, Dönitz was the Commander of Germany’s U-boat fleet. During the Nuremberg Trials, it was his leadership of the U-boat fleet that was used against him, not any of his actions as German president.

Two days after Germany’s unconditional surrender, U-858 was spotted by sailors from the USS Sutton and ordered to a rendezvous point 40 miles southeast of Cape May, very close to where the USS S-5 had sunk 25 years earlier. The German sub arrived at the location on May 14 and surrendered to the US Navy.

A majority of the crew members were moved to an American ship and US sailors boarded the sub to bring it back to Fort Miles in Lewes, DE. The navy decided against bringing it directly to the Cape May base out of fears that the harbor was not deep enough for the vessel.

As the U-boat was sailed to Delaware it passed right by Cape May, giving locals and visitors an opportunity to see one of the German subs that held the city in a powerful grasp of fear during the war. It was escorted by US Navy vessels, cutters from the US Coast Guard, with commercial fishing boats and other private

crafts anchored along the way.

U-858 never attacked Cape May or any other city and it never sunk any American ship.

While it’s true that the submarine had no torpedoes on board at the time of its surrender, all German U-boats had previously been given an order to scuttle, or throw overboard all weapons. Reports of the crew landing on the Cape prior to its surrender were also proven false and there was no merit to the claim that packaging from Koke’s Bakery (now La Patisserie) were found on the sub.

Nonetheless, people from Cape May flocked to the beach to see the sub as it passed by, remembering the many steps that they had

taken to avoid an attack by or landing from German ships. Loud sirens piercing the night, blackout shades in their windows, the extinguishing of the Cape May lighthouse and local wardens who patrolled the streets were all fresh in their memory. People in Cape May were genuinely afraid.

The sub was dismantled by the navy and her crew were arrested as prisoners of war and kept in a camp on Fort DuPont where they did farm work until they were sent back to Germany. The submarine was retained at Fort Miles until 1947, when it was towed to a point off the coast of New England, hit with torpedoes and sunk.

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

V

A weekly column by Catherine Dugan. This week: Yoga on the Beach.

ACATIONS are all about breaking up your routine – even when the routine is something as pleasant as your yoga class. Chances are, if you practice yoga, you go to the same studio and work with the same instructor each week. Take some time during your vacation to move your practice outdoors, and rediscover yoga. Or, try it for the first time. As yogi Sharon Fruchtman-Laffey says, we should all approach the mat each time as if for the first time, the better to discover something new about ourselves.

Yoga is usually translated as “union” or “control” and is said to be as old as civilization itself. In the United States, “yoga” generally refers to the exercises and poses of Hatha yoga, a workout that is simultaneously gentle and vigorous. You focus on your breathing, the connections between your body parts, and your connection to the world around you.

It is a noncompetitive form of exercise, open to people of all fitness levels, and benefits are said to include muscle building, flexibility, and improved breathing. Yoga is often rec-

ommended for asthmatics. Yoga also lowers stress hormones – and isn’t that what vacations are all about?

Balance Pilates & Yoga Studio offers Yoga on the Beach at the Jackson Street Beach from July 4 through Labor Day. Classes meet Fridays and Saturdays at 8am. Each class is $15, there is no preregistration, and you bring your own beach towel. (You can bring your yoga mat, but consider a towel underneath

it.) In this public space, the yoga experience is strangely private – the sound of the waves blends with your breath, the sun glints off the water, and you find yourself lost in the movements of your own body. The sensations are different, outside of a climate-controlled studio, and the instructor (Joanna Hurd on Fridays) is aware of this and calls your attention to it. Judy Heany, who teaches the Saturday class, agrees that there is something special about yoga in the outdoors, and is often lucky enough to see dolphins go by as she practices.

Congress Hall offers Yoga with Sharon Fruchtman-Laffey on the beach at 8:30am Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday during the summer. Tickets are $15 and must be purchased at the front desk. Yoga mats are provided, and the instruction is warm and encouraging. Instead of fighting the sand, you are encouraged to use it to build props to take the pressure off your joints. A weekday 6am class is also held at Decatur Street beach.

As the yogis say, “Don’t just do something - sit there!”

The Movie Column

T

Tom Sims, Executive Director of Cape May Film Society, reviews summer releases

HE summer flicks are coming out in high gear, so here are a few reviews to try to keep up with the pace.

The Kids Are All Right stars Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as a couple whose kids reach out to the man who donated his sperm to make their family possible. Bening and Moore never break character, and Mark Ruffalo (who plays the donor) is adorable as always. The real shining performance here is from Mia Wasikowska, who plays the older of the two children, Joni.

The storyline is strong, albeit not without a key line or two that you can file right under “painful cliché.” The characters are well developed, but it is Bening’s portrayal of Nic, clearly the more responsible person in the relationship, that is truly outstanding. This film is a breakthrough project for writer/director Lisa Cholodenko, who has mostly worked in television.

Despicable Me is an animated feature which employs the most overworked actor in Hollywood today, Steve Carell. The film begins with Carell’s character, an evil vil-

lain named Gru, suffering from a slump in his villainous ways. A competing villain, Vector (played by I Love You Man star Jason Segel), has stolen one of the pyramids, which is getting a lot of media coverage.

Gru’s mother (played by Julie Andrews) is a constant annoyance to her son, urging him to outdo Vector’s work. Gru’s big plan is to shrink and steal the moon. Part of his plan is to get the help for three small orphans to join his minions to steal the shrink gun

from Vector to execute his plan. This movie is entertaining for kids and adults with little lasting appeal (no comparison to Toy Story 3 or even Up). Still, there are plans for a sequel.

And looking down the summer film pipeline, is it possible that Yogi Bear can make it as a feature animation? Dan Akroyd plays the lead role with Justin Timberlake as Boo-Boo Bear.

Seriously, I couldn’t make this stuff up.

Woody Allen’s latest offering, You Will Meet a Talk Dark Stranger, follows the troubles of two couples.

Look here soon for a review of Dinner for Schmucks, starring Paul Rudd and Steve Carell, which is a remake of the reportedly superior 1998 French film entitled The Dinner Game.

If you’re looking for some fantastic local films being shot right in Cape May, join us for the screening of a number of premieres in our third film camp, called Cape May Shorts. We’re screening films this Friday, August 6 at 7pm at West Cape May Borough Hall (a free event with plenty of free parking).

Bird Droppings

T

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

HIS is the time of the Yellow Bird.

Sounds kind of Native American, doesn’t it? It is called the time of the Yellow Bird because early August is about the time that Yellow Warblers (which are small, yellow birds) migrate en masse through Cape May. They rank among the earliest of the passerine migrants to pass.

Passerine is ornithology (bird) talk for birds that perch.

They are the vanguard, make that the shock troops, of fall passerine migration They are also pretty easy to see, particularly after a cold front passes through. In fact, stand in the parking lot of The Nature Conservancy’s preserve about half an hour after dawn and you’ll see lots of small yellow birds zipping through the sky.

You’ll hear them too. Sounds like they’re saying ziit.

Well, that’s what it sounds like to me.

Other people have other interpretations, and better ears.

Now you might be wondering: why should this interest you? Put another way:

EXCELLENT REFERENCES • Free Estimates

• Fully Licensed & Insured • All Credit Cards Accepted • Registered with NJ Consumer Affairs

why have you already dedicated thirty seconds of your life to this esoteric and largely unheralded bird.

A bird that doesn’t dive at 200 mph.

Doesn’t migrate in a 20,000 mile figure-eight pattern between the Arctic and Antarctic.

Doesn’t mass on beaches by the thousands, eating horseshoe crab eggs.

Doesn’t carry an olive branch in one foot and arrows in the other.

Isn’t emblazoned on the helmet of some football franchise.

And says ziit.

Well, that’s a very good question and one that begs a satisfactory answer; unless you fall into that band of the human spectrum that lives to embrace life and all its facets, wakes up every morning believing that marvels lie waiting to be discovered, thinks Cape May is just the coolest place precisely because Ma Nature is always knocking on the door and...

You like birds.

Alright then; here’s your answer. The reason Yellow Warblers should interest you is because they are handsome, animated, zippy little things that are a delight for your eyes and a thread in the tapestry of your life.

Did you know that some of these zippy little Yellow Warblers are coming all the way from the Arctic? Yep, these tiny, ten

Tuesdays • 3-7:30pm

gram animals nest about as far north as willow thickets are found, and they even nest here in Cape May. Yellow Warbler, it turns out, has one of the largest distributions of any North American breeding bird. Bigger than House Finch. Bigger than Song Sparrow.

How’s that for amazing?

And this little bitty warbler, a warbler so small that three of them could be sealed in an envelope and mailed for a first-class stamp, migrates all the way to South America.

More amazing still.

And (are you sitting down for this one?), this warbler exhibits more morphological variation than any other wood warbler.

Thought that would impress you. If you have a bridge party scheduled for this afternoon, please be sure to bring that up.

If you are interested in seeing your own Yellow Warbler, considering going out on a naturalist-led field trip (so you’re sure not to miss it). The Cape May Bird Observatory offers expertly-led bird walks every day but Sunday throughout August, and a couple of birding 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 full 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. 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 and fun 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 vintage books section, look at some of the wonderful Charley Harper merchandise, or just browse.

And 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 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!

For info, call 884-1005, ext. 9.

PLEASE, LEAVE A MESSAGE IF NO ANSWER

Listen for the tell-tale ‘ziit’ and you may spot a Yellow Warbler.

Real Estate Rewind

T

Report from the wonderful world of Cape May property... by Chris Bezaire

HE market has continued its hot streak from June as 14 more transactions sold during this time frame, with several more scheduled for the end of the month. Let’s get straight to the action...

We had another large sale take place at 2 Harbor Cove, listed and sold by Dee Lanzalotti of Jersey Cape Realty for $2,000,000. Another good transaction was 1105 New Jersey Avenue, which was listed by John Kerney of Coastline Realty and sold by Kathy Hogarty of By the Sea Realty for $1,250,000.

A unit at the Marquis de Lafayette was listed

by Carol Menz and sold for $195,000 by an agent from Wildwood. (We don’t mention the names of outside realtors!) Also sold was another unit at the Broadway Beach condos, listed by Bill Bezaire of Coldwell Banker Sol Needles Real Estate and sold by Lynn (don’t call me Lori or Kim) Gleeson of the same office for $343,000.

A two-bedroom condo unit at 232 Windsor was listed and sold by Justin (don’t call me Jack) Aftanis of Cape May Realty for $308,000. Hey Justin, do you think you could sell some other

agent’s listings for a change?

Finally, 1209 Idaho Avenue was listed

by Darcy Dickenson of Cape May Realty and sold by Patricia Hendricks of Wilsey Realty for $655,000, while 1163 Indiana Avenue was listed

by Kathleen (The True Champ) McGaffney of Century 21 Cape Shore, and sold by Jim Cheney of Jersey Cape Realty for $685,000.

Have you looked at rates lately? I just got a sheet from one of my lenders and the 15-year fixed is at 4% and a 30-year fixed is at 4.625%.

These are unbelievable! If you mortgage $300,000 for 30 years it will cost you $1542 a month plus taxes and insurance. For 15 years it would cost you $2219. If you are looking to buy, now is the time while rates are low.

The next question I always get is, “That’s great that rates are low, but I heard they are not lending any money. Is that true?” The answer to that is NO! The banks are looking for what they should always have been looking for – first, a good credit score, usually above 700. If you are not above 700 it is not the end of the world, but it may cost you a higher rate. Next, they are looking for proof of income. This isn’t a bar where

you can tell the girl you are hitting on that you make $500,000 when you only make $50,000.

They are going to want to see documentation to back it up – think of it as a pre-nup!

Finally, they will not go near a property unless the LTV (loan-to-value) ratio is 80% or less. That means you have to be able to put down 20%. Gone are the days of five and 10% down.

If you don’t have the money, or can’t prove what you say you make, there is nothing I can do about it. Understanding this should help you to analyze if now is the time for you to pull that trigger.

Starting today, there will be a poll question on my Facebook and web page for you to vote on. This week’s question: Has the market bottomed out, still has a little bit more to go, or is there another big bubble coming? I will post the results as well as some excerpts in the next edition. You can find the poll at www.capemaychris. com or search for Cape May Chris on Facebook.
