The Police Blotter
Every week we feature quirky police reports from small towns across America. Found on the website www.smalltownmisfit.com. NEVADA COUNTY, CA: At 4:48pm, a woman called to report a woman showed up to her residence to attend a workshop and began digging in her yard with a hammer. The woman told the caller she was burying a tracking device and was joining a cult. – The Union

Cape May County Historical Museum
A Picture From The Past
This picture of the Cape May Daily Star delivery wagon was taken soon after the newspaper was founded in 1872. The Star was published by the team of W.V.L. Seigman and Thomas E. Harkins, who sought to compete with the Cape May Daily Wave, which had been founded in 1865. The Daily Wave began as a weekly paper in 1854, known as the Cape May Ocean Wave. In 1907, the two periodicals merged into one, renamed the Cape May Star and Wave, which still circulates today. Ben Miller 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 you have as many mosquitoes in your country as we do in Cape May? V vashei strane tak zhe mnogo komarov kak i v Cape Maye? And, here is how your Russian-speaking friend is likely to respond: Delo ne v kolichestve komarov, a v tom, chto vse liudi mira zhelaut chtob ih voobshe ne sushestvovalo. Which translates to: It doesn’t matter how many mosquitoes there are, all the people of the world wish they didn’t exist. –Tanya Zotava
Weird Word Of The Week
Tyrotoxism Be careful with that slice of mozzarella – this word means a poisoning from a toxin present in milk or cheese.
Facebook Mystery Contest
KNOW your way around Cape May? Think of yourself as the observant type? Feast your eyes on the photograph above, taken by our resident cryptographer Dan Mathers. If you think you know what two stores would be on this sign, you have a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to spend at a local business. 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. And, don’t worry if you have never used Facebook before – it’s easy! Just ask your six-yearold nephew. To enter, look for the mystery photo at www.facebook.com/exitzeropublishing. Good luck!
Random Fact Of The Week
THE average lifespan of the female mosquito is three to 100 days (depending on how good you are at swatting); the male’s is 10 to 20 days. Worldwide, mosquito-borne diseases kill more people than any other single factor.
Fortune Cookie Of The Week J The one who snores will always fall asleep first. 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 shrimp lo mein and sweet and sour soup. 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
B
ACKSTREET is a small restaurant along Park Boulevard in West Cape May with a red-gravel lot, a green awning and a handful of tables. Photos shot by owners Theresa McGlade and Tony Lombardi during off-season vacations decorate the interior – so does a poster of Kramer from Seinfeld. Half of the menu is written on a chalkboard and servers, wearing white T-shirts, shorts and sneakers, take turns passing through the single swinging door on their way to and from the kitchen. If you haven’t eaten there, you wouldn’t guess that, according to TripAdvisor.com, it is the second-highest-rated restaurant in Cape May. Its four-and-a-half stars are a combination of many five-star reviews mixed with the occasional “the surroundings weren’t elegant.” But you don’t visit for an elegant atmosphere; you go because it’s “simply delicious.” It’s the type of place that creates friends. You’ll hear tables making recommendations to one another like “the lambchops were to die for” or “you have to have the corn and crab chowder.” The proximity of the seating might be responsi-
ble for some of the overlap in conversations, but the quality of the food is what’s being discussed. I usually take my time looking over a menu, and my wife usually has plenty of questions for me about what I’m going to get or what I think she should have. At Backstreet, we encountered none of those problems. We quickly decided on two bowls of corn and crab chowder and split the grilled asparagus topped with crab for an appetizer. The grilled asparagus was grilled asparagus
– delicious but nothing out of the ordinary. The chowder, however, was the best cup of soup I’ve ever had, and I don’t usually like soup. The rich and creamy base was brilliantly complemented with large chunks of crab and sweet corn kernels that popped in your mouth. Tanya had the Chilean sea bass with a macadamia nut crust and tequila-lime drizzle. As usual, she summed up the dish in the simplest words possible: “It’s so juicy and a little sweet.” I patiently waited my turn for a taste as I watched large hunks of meat flake off on her fork. It was exactly as she’d described it. I went with the “14oz Cowboy,” which was a massive, bone-in pork chop with a rich mushroom sauce. My mother is a fantastic cook but could never seem to produce a pork chop that was anything other than tough and dry – it was her Achilles heel. It was not until later in life that I realized how much I actually liked pork. So, knowing how difficult it is to produce a tasty chop, I was doubly impressed by the way this pork gave way beneath the knife – a truly fantastic accomplishment.

Skeety-Offy The column where anonymous gasbags have their say! REMEMBER the perpetual bag of mulch on the Eldredge Avenue sidewalk in West Cape May that was reported last summer? Still there! Updating that it finally rotted open... or perhaps hit with an errant snow shovel blow last winter? Been there five years and counting. Even the mystery knitter has come and gone, yet the mulch bag lives on, and on. – The Watcher, WCM {Spouty Offy Editor’s Note: Maybe it will become a tourist attraction. And you know you’ll be sad when it finally does go.} *** I KNOW that humans can get diseases from mosquitoes like West Nile Virus, but can mosquitos get diseases from us? It only seems fair that they do! – Cape May

I shoo-ed it away again, but it came back again. Finally, I just said “Russell, stop pestering me and let me shop”. – Cape May
DID you ever notice that some mosquitoes are really dumb and will land right on you where you can see them and swat them while others are really smart and know when you are looking at them and try to sneak up behind you? –Erma {Spouty Offy Editor’s Note: Yes, we have. We have also noticed that the sneaky ones appeared to have better camouflage too.} *** I’D like to see a tick on a leech that is being bitten by a mosquito. – Erma

Confessions Of A Cape May Lover
A
An enthusiast’s view of America’s Original Seaside Resort... by Meghan Kunz
S record-breaking temperatures plague the country (according to Al Roker, 19 states have heat advisories today) I’ve given up on summer and have set my sights on a cooler September. Don’t get me wrong — I love the summer and everything it offers. I do not love the recent off-the-charts temperatures and debilitating humidity. Is it cooler near the shore? I hope so, for all of you living and visiting Cape May this August. Now my plan is to visit Cape May in September. I’ve been there for Labor Day Weekend, but I won’t count that since it is the finale of summer. As I peruse upcoming events, I’m intrigued by the 14th Annual Cape May Food and Wine Festival, which runs from September 18-26. I’m thinking of taking this opportunity to delve into some of the restaurants I’ve yet to try and to educate myself on different cuisines. During the festival, there will be a host of events: Mad Batter Beer School, Cape May Wine School, gourmet lunches, a beer-tasting dinner, a chowder contest, chefs’ dine-
arounds, and classes, seminars and tastings. Some of the participating restaurants include Marie Nicole’s, Axelsson’s Blue Claw, Cucina Rosa, and The Washington Inn (none of which I’ve tried!). I haven’t visited the Cape May Stage since I saw the fantastic Doubt. Shame on me, but I either wait too long to secure the tickets (they sell out rather quickly) or I run out of time when I’m visiting! Too much time has passed, so I need to return, and Happy Days, starting August 25 and running through September 25, looks
like a good starting point. Lynn and Ron Cohen star in this Samuel Beckett play focusing on the meaning of humankind’s existence and how we relate to ourselves, the universe, and the passage of time. If you plan on visiting in September, reserve your tickets now by calling (609) 884-1341 or go online to www.capemaystage.com to purchase tickets. September also happens to be the last time you can partake in the Delaware Bay Lighthouse Adventure. Take a cruise on the Spirit of Cape May up the Delaware Bay to view historic lighthouses while learning about local legends, the architecture of the late 19th and early 20th-century lighthouses, and facts on fishing and spawning grounds, all while having access to fantastic photo opportunities! The cruise departs on September 18 at 10am from the Miss Chris Marina and includes a continental breakfast and buffet lunch for $99 per person. Contact (609) 884-5404 for more information and to purchase tickets. Try to stay cool for the remaining weeks of August.

The Old Fogey
Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur
I
READ somewhere (or rather, my faithful manservant Kitchener read to me from somewhere: I have no patience for holding a book or newspaper and passing my eyes back and forth over the pages endlessly, and much prefer to be read to. I think that stems from my formative years when Ma D’Catur would read me a bedtime story from The Big Book Of Instructional Lessons For Feral Boys, a tome that was heavy on discipline and indeed had as a bookmark a 12” leather tawse that the lady used to slap across my bare bottom if she thought I was paying less than full attention. Thankfully, unlike my old pal Lawrence of Arabia, my experiences with corporal punishment did not lead to a lifelong fetish for such brutality, but they did reinforce in me a need to be read to, and to never take my eyes off the face of the reader whilst they are talking to me)... anyway, I read somewhere that smart fellows in a lab somewhere have bred mosquitoes that are immune to the microbe (or some other such term; virus, possibly, or bacteria, or
pox) that allows them to infect us with malaria. I applaud such clever-dickiness, but think rather that they are missing the point, those eggheads. For we need nothing more than for every living mosquito on this planet to be exterminated. And I don’t just say this because of the giant mosquito that once terrorized Cape May (regular readers of my accurate and historically-correct memoirs in these pages will remember it was finally dispatched with fire from an anti-aircraft battery on the roof).
No, I say this because they are cowardly little blighters who deserve no mercy. They are vicious, unreasoning, sneaky and will play havoc with your ankles if they creep up unnoticed. But enough of the citizens of Wildwood, and back to mosquitoes. I have tried all of the traditional and scientific remedies: I have burned enough incense to smoke out India, I have set up huge buzzing carbon dioxide emitters that draw the beasts and electrocute them, I have sprayed myself with so much DEET that I grew extra fingers, yet nothing worked. Even the four-square-mile mosquito net I had lowered over the city by helicopter didn’t work, as the beasts had themselves mailed to addresses inside and swarmed out of packets and parcels when they were opened. No, dear friends, this calls for something more drastic. I will say no more for now, but counsel you to stock up on dark glasses, bottled water and iodine tablets. And don’t look up. Until next week, I bid you adieu.

The Organic Column
I
A useful and inspiring guide to eating healthy, natural foods - by Katie Panamarenko
NAME this column “Kooky Quirks About Cucs.” I know some folks who have had lots of luck this year growing their own cucumbers. Which is excellent news, considering these fun ways, which I found via the internet, to use the diverse, easy-to-grow vegetable beyond a crunch in salad. 1. Taking your vitamins? Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need, including vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, folic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. 2. Tired? Grab a Snickers or a cucumber! Cucumbers are a good source of B vitamins and carbohydrates, providing a quick pickme-up that can last for hours. 3. All fogged up in the bathroom? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror. It will eliminate the fog after a hot shower and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance. 4. Got grubs and slugs? Place a few slices of cucumber in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent humans
can’t smell but pests can’t stand. 5. Cellulite cramping your style? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumber along your problem area for a few minutes. The phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works on wrinkles too! 6. Who needs a hangover? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed with no headache. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vita-
mins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients, keeping everything in balance. 7. Got munchies? Cucumbers have been used for centuries by European trappers, traders and explorers for quick meals to thwart starvation. 8. Out of WD-40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice, rub it along the offending hinge, and – voila! – the squeak is gone. 9. Stressed out? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water. The chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress. 10. Need not a Tic nor Tac but the whole damn pack? Press a slice of cucumber to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath. 11. Looking for a green way to clean your stainless steel? Rub a slice of cucumber on the surface you want to clean – not only will it remove tarnish and bring back the shine, but it won’t leave streaks or harm your fingers or fingernails while you clean.

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 My friends and I were hanging out on the beach a couple of weeks ago, and we got our picture taken for Exit Zero – we were so excited! But they’re now making fun of me because I am the palest person in the picture – they are all so tan. They have been hanging out at the beach all summer before we have to go back to school, but I have a summer job so I can’t hang out as much. Should I start going to a tanning salon? What can I say when they make fun of me? – Paleface Dear Paleface Once upon a time, long, long ago, having pales skin was prized. It was a sign of gentility, an indicator of wealth and refinement. The only tanned people were the laborers in the fields. Today, despite dire skin cancer and ozone depletion warnings,
it seems like there is some kind of race to see who can look the most like a leather handbag by middle age. Don’t misunderstand the Answer Lady – the sun is good for us in small doses, and certainly there is no point in living in a place like Cape May without spending time at the beach. But the Answer Lady cannot recommend that a young person spend her hard-earned money on tanning. If being the only paleface in the group really bothers you, invest in some sunless tanning lotion. At your age,
MaryAnn’s CONTEMPORARY
fitting in is very important, but that will change, hopefully, over the coming years, and you will learn to embrace that which makes you stand out from the crowd. It sounds as if you are already well on your way, since you are the only one of your friends working this summer. Wear your pale face proudly, and when your friends poke fun, just ignore them. Or feel free to use that leather handbag reference – the Answer Lady is exceedingly pale, and that’s one of her favorites. You’re welcome. Dear Answer Lady I’ve just lost a bunch of weight – good for me! But one of the downsides that didn’t occur to me is now none of my clothes fit. I’m not exactly in a position to dash out and buy a whole new wardrobe – what can I do? – Swimming in My Clothes Dear Swimming Congratulations – as far as problems go, this is a good one to have. The Answer Lady advises you to get over to The Ladies’ Room immediately. Gently used clothing and accessories at great prices: this one’s a no-brainer.

Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 465-8923
«
GETTY is an adorable five-month-old Boxer mix, full of enthusiasm and life. He’s inquisitive and loves to explore his surroundings. Of course he also wants to be outside where he can run around and play with his toys. This sweet puppy also truly enjoys being around people. He does know some basic commands, but will need more training. With a cute face like his we expect he will be adopted quickly. Adoption fee is $95.
«
HEIDI is a gorgeous one-year-old German Shepherd patiently waiting for a new home. She can be mouthy so she must go to a home without children. Otherwise she’s a sweet girl who enjoys being outside. Her favorite game is frisbee, which she loves to fetch and bring back to you. All she needs now is a home with owners who are familiar with German Shepherds and will give her the training and love she needs. Adoption fee is $95.
«
MISSY has had a rough time lately. She’s been quite anxious here at the shelter. While she is social and seeks comfort, she is still shy and will need someone with patience. Also, Missy will definitely have to go to a home where there are no children and where she is the only pet, since she doesn’t like fast or intimidating movement. If you feel you can offer Missy hope please stop in and meet her today. Adoption fee is $95.

LIZZY and Izzy’s previous owners moved and could not take these two beautiful girls with them. With their lovely soft, buff fur and friendly attitude, you couldn’t look for better companions than Lizzy and Izzy. Lizzy’s adoption fee is $35, but if you take both girls together, their combined fee is $35.
«
IZZY and her sister Lizzy were kittens at the Shelter, then were adopted together about four years ago. Now they sadly find themselves back again. Izzy is a soft buff color and loves being with her sister. Stop by and see if you could restore these girls to a loving home. Adoption fee is $35, combined adoption fee is also $35.

MR DARBY is a “cool cat” who lives up to his sophisticated name. All black, with glowing golden eyes, he can’t quite make up his mind whether to welcome your attention or remain aloof. We’re betting that once he gets used to a new home and family, he’ll become a loving companion. Adoption fee is $35.

Cape Curiosity
I
A weekly historical column by Ben Miller, author of the best-selling “The First Resort”
N THE nearly 100 years since the Cape May Beach Patrol (CMBP) was first founded, nobody has ever drowned on their watch. Cape May first created a paid lifeguard team in 1911, named the Cape May City Lifeguards. Registered nurses were teamed with lifeguards in the early days, helping to heal and resuscitate victims after guards pulled them out of the water. These days, the Cape May Beach Patrol is self-sustaining, with a certified paramedic on the squad and each of the lieutenants trained as Emergency Medical Technicians. Those additional skills have come in handy over the years, especially with the current beach situation, which has caused hundreds of back and neck injuries since the most recent beach replenishment. Within the past week (I write a week in advance), the CMBP has pulled a 62-yearold man and a 10-year-old boy out of the waters and facilitated their transport to the hospital via medical helicopter. Coastal dangers are all too familiar for lifeguards who saw one of their own sustain a broken neck

Cape Curiosity ? From Page 103 in the treacherous surf. By now, you’ve probably heard about the plight of Chad deSatnick, the former lifeguard who’s endured surgery and years of therapy as a result of his accident. Being a member of the CMBP requires a combination of strong physical fitness and an equally attuned mind for quick thinking when it counts. Those men and women on the big red and white stands have seen countless bathers in peril, along with other oddities like bacterial infections from the water, a plane crashing into the ocean, a helicopter following suit, boaters in trouble and an unexploded ordnance washing up on shore. Things were equally busy in the early days. Take this Philadelphia Inquirer article from October 8, 1921: “Lifeguards Rescue Fishing Boat Crew Thrown Up On Rocks.” The article explains, “With their craft thrown up on the rocks at the east end of the government stone jetties by a heavy ebbtide, members of the crew of the fishing schooner Frances Alvord were rescued tonight by life guards from Station No. 135.” That same year, city lifeguards were involved in the search for the grand-niece
One of the beach patrol’s earliest headquarters was the wheelhouse of a ship installed off the boardwalk.
and nephew of John Wilbraham, who were kidnapped by their estranged father. The squad’s captain, George Little, reported that he had seen the father strolling the beach with the little girl in July. It was later determined that they were walking to a private yacht used to sneak the kids out of town. The CMBP maintains a force of 70 guards in season, to ensure that on any given

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: Miniature golf.
O BE young on the beach in New Jersey means you’ll hear a few references to MTV’s reality show Jersey Shore. Quips like “Did you just move to Jersey? Where’s your accent?” and “You use sunscreen? Doesn’t that defeat the whole GTL thing?” The show follows a group of characters who spend their days tending to gym, tanning, and laundry, and their misguided nights on the boardwalk. Some Jerseyans worry that their antics make the state look bad. The rest of us – who know that New Jersey is tough enough to handle a little ribbing – note the $6 million in revenue Seaside Heights expects to see from the Jersey Shore industry, and wonder whether we can’t lure a franchise to Cape May. That $6 million figure doesn’t include the additional tourists who come to Seaside to see landmarks from the show. Besides, once you’ve traveled the country you realize that, although accents may differ, vapid gym rats can be found in Pittsburgh or Kentucky as easily as they can in New Jersey. And once you’re past the
young adult stage, you realize that most of them are really great kids with more on their mind than fist pumps and GTL. Take the group who hit the miniature links in Cape May recently – siblings Nick and Danielle Pagliuca brought their friends, Jordan Maskowitz of Manalapan, NJ and Cate Bartilucci of Brewster, NY, to town for a visit. Hardworking students with golf on their minds, they had a schedule to keep –
the Jersey Shore season premiere was at 10 that night – so they bypassed the crowded Cape May Miniature Golf on Jackson Street (near Swain’s) and saw an opening at Stockton Mini Golf (at Beach and Howard). For $7 each they enjoyed a competitive game of golf (complete with Jersey jokes from the Canadians behind them) amidst gorgeous landscaping in a facility that has been serving Cape May visitors for 50 years. Other area miniature golf choices include Ocean Putt Golf, on Beach Drive, with creative holes that bring back childhood memories; and Miniature Golf at Sunset Beach, which is simple and pretty, with the view of the bay. The first nine holes are handicap-accessible at Sunset Beach. Wildwood offers additional choices, like Duffer’s, which features singing pelicans, an arcade, and giant ice cream servings. Hit the links, and as you putt, ponder possible Cape May reality shows: “The Real Piping Plovers of Poverty Beach”, anyone? “Mystery Knitters and the Tangled Webs They Weave?” Next week: Arcade Adventures

Happy Days (Every Day) At The Stage
C
ADVERTISING FEATURE
APE May is one of the most romantic towns in America: A romantic getaway, a wedding destination, a place to celebrate anniversaries and births. Many couples have retired here and started another chapter of their lives. Cape May Stage celebrates all of those relationships on our Second Stage as well as our mainstage! The final four performances of Romance/Romance are playing at Cape May Stage, so if you have not seen this charming and light musical confection make your reservations immediately. Next week comes the opening of the most anticipated production of the season. Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days, starring Lynn and Ron Cohen, will have a grand opening with a splashy opening night party. There will be a half-priced preview on Wednesday and the big opening night on Thursday. Samuel Beckett won the Nobel Prize for Literature and is arguably the most influential writer of the 20th century. Happy Days is his only comedy and this production is geared towards the retired couples who live in Cape May. Although Beckett is known as the master of the “theatre of the absurd,” time has made what was once avant-garde seem almost naturalistic. The story is about a long-term relationship of Willie and Winnie and how they manage their lives with their own private jokes. It is ultimately a love story though not in the way that Romance/Romance
Stage and screen actress Lynn Cohen, alongside her husband Ron, take on Samuel Beckett’s “Happy Days” as Winnie and Willie, a married couple examining the meaning of existence at Cape May Stage’s Robert Shackleton Playhouse August 25-September 25. Roy Steinberg directs. or conventional love stories are told. This is a challenging play, and as we head into the fall we can still laugh but are ready for our minds to be engaged and have an experience in the theatre that will stay with you after the final curtain. Who better to play Willie and Winnie than Cape May’s most celebrated acting couple, Lynn and Ron Cohen? You loved them last year as they played a sexy couple in their latter years in Social Security. Art imitates life as they once again play the under-belly of that relationship in Happy Days. Lynn and Ron Cohen are a real life couple who have performed in the most prestigious theatres in the country. Many of you know Lynn from Sex and the City or as Golda Meir in

The Cape May Crossword
None of that generic nonsense you see in other papers... a puzzle just for this town! By Dan Mathers. 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 mosquitoes. The solution can be found on the front page of our website, www.exitzero.us. ACROSS 3. The Mosquito XE is an ultra-light version of this type of flying craft. 5. Mosquitoes are cited as the culprit in spreading a variety of diseases, including this one which is a common threat in West Africa. 6. Though we tend to associate them with cats and dogs, these bugs don’t discriminate – they happily suck your blood, too. 9. Because they have the same number of sensory cells in the pertinent sensory organ, it’s thought that this sense in mosquitoes is just as good as in humans. 10. Cape May County alone plays host to this many species of mosquito. 12. A mosquito doesn’t have a jaw, so it can’t actually do this (though we often say they do). Instead, it just punctures and sucks. 13. After the eggs hatch, these hang below the surface of pools of still water waiting to mature into pupae, then adult mosquitoes. 14. In the most severe cases, this disease, transmitted by mosquitoes, causes jaundice due to liver damage.
That’s gonna itch for weeks!
17. The oldest mosquito with anatomy similar to those of modern day was found in 79-million-year-old amber originating in this geological period. 18. Another variety of insect that feeds on human blood, you don’t want to find these between your sheets. 21. Mosquitoes inject a form of this into the hole they puncture. This prevents your blood from clotting while they slurp. 23. Male mosquitoes never bite, but a female will suck your blood to supplement her diet with protein and iron to aid in this. DOWN 1. When the temperature is this, mosquitoes are able to develop and reproduce more quickly. 2. Bats, birds, lizards, spiders and fish all feed on mosquitoes, but this insect has the most voracious appetite for them. 4. DEET, a slightly yellow oil, is the most common active ingredient in this type of product.
7. According to fossil records, mosquitoes were once this much larger than they are today. 8. Mosquitoes’ eyes don’t work like ours. They see this wavelength that is shorter than that of visible light. 11. Showing a great amount of diversity, there are this many species of mosquito in the world. 15. Mosquitoes are attracted to nonanal (don’t laugh), an alkyl aldehyde found in this, a byproduct of physical exertion. 16. Despite their image as bloodthirsty, this actually serves as mosquitoes’ primary food source. 19. On a mosquito, this organ is only the size of the period at that comes at the end of this sentence. 20. The bump and subsequent itch you get is an allergic reaction to this liquid in the mosquito’s mouth. 22. This bug will suck your blood and, if you’re unlucky, leave you feeling sluggish with pains in your joints.

Dear Friend, In the fall of 2001 I was told that I may never walk again. I am so grateful for the wonderful doctors and technology that have given me my life back. Others are not as fortunate. After my injury I researched different charities dedicated to spinal cord awareness. As an avid surfer, I was particularly interested in the Life Rolls On Foundation (www.liferollson.org). Life Rolls On (LRO) is a non-profit 501(c)3 Foundation that exists to be a grassroots resource and an advocate on behalf of young people who have sustained a spinal cord injury (SCI). Their tagline, “Instilling in people that life with SCI does indeed roll on.”

The weekly report from the world’s birdwatching capital... by Seymore Thanu
F PLATO had been a birder and not a cat owner, as well as a philosopher, he might have coined the notion of Owlness rather than Tableness to express and explain his concept of The Ideal. That’s a mighty big might, though. From a marketing standpoint, Tableness certainly enjoys more broadbased familiarity than Owlness. Chances are you, Mr or Ms Average American, are familiar with tables; know what they look like and what they do. Chances also are you’ve never seen an owl. Wouldn’t recognize one if it f lew to your door to deliver a bill for the coming semester at Hogwarts School of Wizardry. This is sad. Tragic, even. Because owls are not only a good deal more interesting than tables, they are also only slightly less common (and they’re great mousers). You heard me. Owls are pretty common here. In fact, I saw five this morning, heard four more, and I was was just taking a walk. Yup, on the basis of this morning’s sampling alone, the ratio of owls to tables came out overwhelmingly in favor of owls.

Tables Seen: One kitchen, one coffee, one writing. Tables heard: None. Owls Seen: Four Great-horned, one Barn Owl. Owls Heard, Not Seen: Four Great-horned. That’s right. Score was 9 to 3 in favor of the owls. Of course, it was a biased sampling. I spent only half an hour in table habitat but
a full hour in owl habitat. The table habitat included one bedroom, one kitchen, one den, a bathroom, and an office. NOTE: I did not include bathroom or kitchen counter in my table count. Countertops are not only a different genus, they are a whole different family, maybe even order, of home accoutrements. Nor did I count “night stand.” Although I was in proper habitat, I did not see or hear the night stand, merely smacked the alarm clock it supported and stumbled downstairs. I did, however, include writing desk in my table count which is certainly a matter open to interpretation and debate. Whether a writing desk is, or is not a table, is a question that has dogged furnitureologists for centuries. It could be argued that the very question of Deskness vs Tableness undercuts the philosophical underpinnings of an epistemological Ideal. Yet, and still, in my efforts to be open-

minded in my approach, and generous in my standards, I have allowed that a desk and a table are one. Why then, you might ask, is it that you have yourself seen so many more tables than owls? 1. You spend more time in table habitat than owl habitat. 2. You know how to find tables, not owls. 3. Tables are easier to find. If tables perched in trees and were only out at night, you would see fewer of them. Conversely, if owls were fixtures in your home, supporting lamps, fruit bowls, and piles of unpaid bills, you’d be very familiar with them. The problem is one of your not spending enough time in proper owl habitat. If you want to develop a sense of Owlness, go out to a nearby woodland near dawn. Watch and listen. It’s good exercise. And if you have a heart whose purity approaches the Ideal, you are assured of seeing an owl. The alternative is bringing owls into your home. But they are a lot harder to buy than tables, and illegal to own. And they don’t support lamps, fruit bowls, or unpaid bills easily. On the other hand, you will save on cat food. Having just enlisted the services of the Ideal mouser, who needs a cat? The Cape May Bird Observatory does a weekly
Friday night walk that meets at 5:30pm at the Nature Conservancy on Sunset Boulevard. Chances are you just might be lucky enough to hear (or see) a Great-horned Owl as the walk wraps up. The Cape May Bird Observatory (CMBO), is THE place for anything to do with nature. Located at 701 East Lake Drive overlooking lovely Lake Lily in Cape May Point, the center is open 9:30am to 4:30pm every day. Ask any of our staff or volunteers – they are glad to help with anything you need. Check out the newest books (including Bayshore Summer by whats-his-name), 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, 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 New Jersey’s own Pete Dunne, Director of the Cape May Bird Observatory and Chief Communications Officer for New Jersey Audubon. 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!

e would like to thank our good friend and prayer warrior, Jenny Cupp, for reminding us of this passage. We feel this passage is so fitting of the outpouring of love and support Mickey has received. One Day Jesus was teaching inside a house, People came from all around to listen to Jesus and see the miracles HE preformed. In fact so many people came that the house was full. Four men carried their friend who could not walk on a stretcher; they were hoping that Jesus could heal their friend. But when they got to the house there were so many people that they could not find a way to get to Jesus. The friends did not give up! They went to the roof of the house. They took away the thatching and they lowered their friend on his stretcher down through the roof. They made a way to get him to Jesus. Jesus saw that the men believed in Him and that they loved their friend. Jesus said to the man,” your sins are forgiven” and He told the man,” Get up, take your stretcher, and go home.” Two miracles were performed that very day, forgiveness and healing. Matthew 9:1-8 We think of these men as their friend’s “stretcher bearers”. We now consider all of you our son’s stretcher bearers. Your generosity has shown itself in so many ways in these past few weeks. We need to list just a few of the ways you, our friends, have lowered our son through the roof of the house to the feet of Jesus: cooking, organizing, singing, tending bar, manning the doors, organizing the donations, bank needs, music, games, donating your time and talents, raffle donations, monetary gifts, newspaper articles, love, kindness, generosity, prayer, concern, goodness, chocolate chip cookies, devotionals, cards, letters, gifts, books, articles, magazines, phone calls, text messages, haircuts, boardwalk money, lemonade entrepreneurs, facebook entries, healthy alternatives, manning Big Wave Burritos, eating Big Wave Burritos (keep eating), eggplant Parm, Swedish cookies, cakes, soup, fruit, research, strings pulled, offers for anything we may need, inspiration and simply true friendship. As many of you know Mickey has been a big wave surfer. It has been a true passion of his over the years and he has been blessed to surf all over the world. This time Mickey and his precious wife Kate are riding the biggest wave of their lifetime. In the language of a surfer ... This is a steep, gnarly looking wave, really big and filled with bumps. Mickey may need a big gun to ride this one. Even though he may feel like making a bail out or that he may be headed for a possible wipe out. Hang Ten Buddy. This time Mickey’s board has a huge ding and he now has to ride goofy foot. We are asking that our friends form a dawn patrol, get amped and pray in order to help Mickey avoid any mishaps. Friends, please stand with us in prayer for the best shaper we can find. Pray that Mickey will get stoked, amped up and be able to take some serious air. If you, our friends, would continue to duck dive through this wave with Mickey and Kate they are sure to ride the barrel of a lifetime without any wipeouts. Together you have been helping to bear our burden and you have helped to bring us peace, love and joy in the midst of a terrible storm. The only word that we can find is that we are HUMBLED by Gods grace and the goodness of His people. YOU KNOW who you are, we could not possibly name you all by name. The list is beyond belief of the amazing people from far and wide, young and old alike that have given so generously. Some of you didn’t even know our son but felt compelled to give. Thank you just does not seem enough, yet we say it with as much meaning as possible. From the depths of our being we thank ALL OF YOU.

Tom Sims summarizes short films from the Cape May Film Camp
AVE YOU ever bought a loaf of fresh, oven-baked bread from a roadside stand on Sunset Boulevard? How about attend the West Cape May Farmers Market? The third week of Film Camp found our students out in the region, capturing footage and making great short films about subjects in our backyard. Cape May: Reality Stops Here is the first short video created by our students. It’s a play on the catchphrase made popular by Ink Well’s T-shirt maven, Heidi Cummings. The mayor, George Mesterhazy, the East Lynne Theater Company cast, and even Hot Dog Tommy got in on the act. The film promotes our great region. Clay Oven Bread is a short film about Elizabeth Degener, a businesswoman who bakes bread for an ever-growing fan base who visits her stand on Sunset Boulevard. If you haven’t stopped to buy a loaf of her bread in a variety of f lavors, you haven’t had some of the best bread in the region. Fun & Fresh describes the West Cape May Farmers’ Market, and the short film
Screenshots from new shorts about Cape May
created by the students gives you just the right f lavor for how this town tradition has taken off. Featuring hot licks from local favorite band Bluebone and hot dishes from many vendors, this market supports local agriculture and entrepreneurs alike! Gardens of Cape May, Part 1 is a work in progress but starts out beautifully.
Featuring two gardens in the area from Dave and Chris Clemans and Richard Samuelson, this is the start of what will become a fantastic garden tour of our area. If you know of any gardens that are worth filming for this project, let us know. And what film camp would be complete without some less-than-serious films – like The History of Flip Flops and Guido Vampires. Are you ready for a cross between Twilight and Jersey Shore? Congratulations to our students at our last camp of the season, Drew Bencie, Emilie Cooper, Tom Kelly, Jack Kelly, Caleb Schafer, Russ Sperry, and Joel Torres (with special help from Hope Connelly). Also thanks to our instructors, Katie Kincade, Meighan Hogate, and Peter Pittaluga. See all these films and more at the Cape May Film Channel on YouTube, www. youtube.com/user/capemayfilm. How can you get your business on our channel, which is nearing 10,000 views? Simple. Sponsor our film festival. Contact us at (609) 8846700 or email capemayfilm@hotmail.com for more information.
