The Police Blotter

Every week we feature quirky police reports from small towns across America. Found on the website www.smalltownmisfit.com.

ERIE COUNTY, NY: After responding to a motor vehicle accident, police asked the driver what had happened. The driver told officers that the other vehicle involved had pulled out in front of her. In reality, the driver had struck a parked car. – Bee News

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.

What is your favorite major American Sport?

Kakoi vash lyubimyi krupnyh amerikanskih sporta?

And, here is how your Russian-speaking friend is likely to respond: Opredelenno hokkyei. Byeisbol skuchno i amerikanskii futbol, sovershenno neponyatno. Which translates to: Definitely hockey. Baseball is boring and football is utterly incomprehensible. –Tanya Zotava

Weird Word Of The Week

Fustilugs Meaning a person who is grossly fat or slovenly. Substitute this word for “beached whale” and you won’t have to whisper.

A Picture From The Past

Don Pocher

THIS week we see another view of the Shoreham Hotel, now known as St. Mary’s By the Sea. The pictures above were taken during World War II, when the Army used it as a barracks. The Sisters of St. Joseph, who have owned the building since 1909, leased it to the Army for $1 a year from 1941 to 1946. The Army Corps of Engineers repaid the favor in 1991, restoring the beach in front of the rock seawall through an aggressive beach replenishment program. Ben Miller

Random Fact Of The Week

FORMER 49ers quaterback Steve Young is the great-great-great-grandson of Brigham Young, second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, leader of the Mormons. Steve attended Brigham Young University before turning pro.

Fortune Cookie Of The Week J Perhaps you’ve been focusing too much on spending. 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 a red curry chicken and egg drop soup.

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

Ramblings From The Editor

F

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

IRST of all, stop saying it’s the end of summer. It’s not. The last day of summer is Tuesday, September 21.

That’s three whole weeks away. I think it’s important for us to realize this. Especially people (like me) who have all these wonderful, lavish plans in May that involve having a multitude of barbecues, mixing the latest Martha Stewart cocktails and her favorite summer dishes, and spending entire days on the beach with friends and/or family.

And before you know it, it’s Labor Day. And you feel like such a loser for not planning The Perfect Summer. Once again, you’ve let the days and the weeks slide by and you didn’t get your act together.

The good thing? Fall is a wonderful season in Cape May, particularly if you spent the summer waiting tables or working behind a counter six or seven days a week.

So, if you ARE feeling the end-of-summer blues, remember this... there are, like I said, three whole weeks of summer and THEN you will be blessed with the month of October which is, as most locals know, a pretty special time. The weather is still usually lovely and there are a lot of great events – the Cape May Film Festival, Victorian Week (which actually lasts for about 10 days) and, making its debut this year, The Cape May Forum: Chautauqua at the Shore, which I will be discussing in much greater detail next week.

So don’t be sad. You’re lucky to be living in Cape May. And if you DON’T live in Cape May, well, make sure you come back here in October because it really IS a great month. (November and December are pretty special, too – those late fall sunsets are spectacular.)

Anyway, to mark the almost-end of summer, I want to tell you about the two issues I’d

like to see addressed once the busiest season is over and we can all dust ourselves down and really get to work.

1. Convention Hall/Civic Center: An intelligent, local person with whom I don’t always agree, but whose opinion I respect, wrote me this week, in a very exasperated mood. “There are at least four groups now, and the crazy noises and bummed-out murmurers about a flawed process and a less than good design... it’s all making me quite nuts and exhausted,” he wrote. “I’m trying to shrug off the whole thing and at the same time try not to get any more invested in what I now have to call CONTENTION HALL.” I couldn’t agree more. Now is the time for Cape May’s city council to put on blinkers and ear muffs. There are still some folks out there who sense something of a power vacuum after the council vote that overturned the previous plan for a convention hall. And now they all want to bring their pet projects out. Forget it.

Forget the Beach Theater. No matter how much most of us love the idea, it makes no financial sense to either buy the existing Beach Theater or to try and develop another cinema from other existing buildings. This is crazy, unfo-

cused talk that will get us nowhere.

And as for the Solarium, again, forget it.

It’s a lovely building, I agree. But for it to survive it would have to seriously curtail the potential of the new convention hall and that makes no sense at all.

City council has a plan for the new convention hall. They’ve listened to the people already.

No more listening. It’s time to do your job, because there are too many people out there with nothing more to do than swarm around you like a posse of pesky mosquitoes. Ignore them and move ahead. End of story.

2. The Parking Farce: I am not going to comment much on the referendum on September 8 about parking meters in the east end because I have little sympathy for either side. I think city council rushed in to a decision without giving it serious thought, while I think that the folks in the east end are being dishonest when they say that parking meters are historically incongruous. Folks, the SUV in your driveway doesn’t look too Victorian, either. Just fess up and say you don’t want to feed a parking meter outside your house. That, at least, would have been the honest thing to say.

But what I WILL say is that the parking meters the city introduced a few years ago are a serious liability and an embarrassment. City Hall needs to come up with a better solution – Wildwood has become the latest municipality to try out meters you can pay for using your cellphone. It seems to be tried and tested. Let’s look into that, AND other schemes and let’s tear up and throw away what we have now because it’s a joke.

Finally, there are some great events happening in the next few days and weeks – please consult pages 31 and 34 for more information, and enjoy the last 20 days of summer.

Rich Reinhart was the guiding light behind the clamshell pitching contest in Cape May until his death in 2006.

T

HE 64th Annual Cape May Junior Clamshell Tournament will be held this Friday, September 3, beginning at noon on Windsor Beach. Registration begins at 11:00am and ribbons and trophies will be awarded to the winners. Now, before you dismiss the event as mere frippery, you should know that the contest has a long history – it was originally conceived as a recreational event for soldiers returning from World War Two. After it fell by the wayside, the event was given new life by Rich Reinhart, who continued to run the event until his death in 2006. These days, the tournament is solely

for children and is now named in honor of Rich. We spoke to Rich’s widow Denise to learn a little more about this fun event that’s taken seriously...

Tell us a little about the history of the event. The tournament has been around since 1946, when WW11 vets were looking for summer recreation on the beaches of Cape May. There was a hiatus in the early 1960s, and Rich was responsible for reviving it in the 1970s. He organized it and ran it, as president for 25 years, every Labor Day Weekend. Three years ago, the city decided to rename the tournament in memory of Rich.

In 2000 the beaches became unsuitable for the avid senior play-

ers of the game so the tournament was disbanded. Rich, however, decided to continue the tournament for the children, to give them something unique to Cape May – a tradition, a memory. Who plans a wedding around a clam shell tournament? We did – it had to be the weekend after!

Did Rich compete on a regular basis? Was he any good? Did you, and were you?! Rich was extremely competitive and won more championships than he lost. Back in the late 1990s Rich challenged NBC sportscaster and former football player, Vai Sikahema, to a one-onone clamshell pitching contest on the Cape May beaches. Vai took the challenged and was defeated

by Rich on national TV. As for me playing, I knew my strengths and weaknesses, I sold tee shirts.

When did you and Rich discover Cape May? Was it together or at different times? Rich’s mother was born in a home on Decatur Street.

His father’s side owned a home on Sewell from the early 1920s on. Rich’s dad, a lifeguard, married Rich’s mom in the 1940s. Rich spent every summer of his life here with his grandparents on Sewell Avenue, while working for his dad at Mary Cross Candies in the Wildwoods. Rich introduced me to Cape May the year we met, 1995.

Shortly there after we decided to move down here permanently. We now have a seventh generation enjoying the front porch on Sewell.

Tell us a little more about Rich. He was a graduate of Muhleberg College. He owned a direct mail and marketing firm in Allentown, NJ.

He was president of the Cape May Taxpayers’ Association and served on the Cape May Revitalization Committee, a supporter of Cape May Stage and Cape Island Baptist Church. He devoted 25 years as President of the Clamshell Pitching Tournament, loving every minute of it. His love of Cape May was obvious, sincere, and just getting started. There were many sides to this man. He was an experienced pilot of a single engine Piper Cherokee. A plane that was forced to make an emergency landing inJuly of 1986 after his small plane ran out of fuel because of fog. The police said he made a “Picture Perfect Landing”, on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. People in town still talk about it. The only thing damaged was a trash can.

Another passion was Doo Wopp Music. Rich (“Double R”) was a radio DJ for 13 years at Station WRDV in Philly. The Philly DJs all gave tribute to him and a station in California went dark for 24 hours and still does every year on the anniversary of his death. He loved a challenge, including being on the TV show Jeopardy.

How do you think he would feel knowing there was a tournament held in his name? Rich would be humbled. He would be pleased to know his daughter, Stephanie, and the family are continuing to support the junior tournament. He would be proud that his grandson, Jake, six, will participate. Nothing like a small town keeping traditions and making memories for the next generation, Rich would have really liked that.

A new addition to this year’s Civil War Weekend is a reenactor portraying Mary Todd Lincoln, who will be giving first-person presentations at the Village Gazebo both days at noon. The Gazebo will also feature music throughout the day by the

three miles north of Victorian Cape May. For more information, please call (609) 898-2300, ext. 10 or visit the Village website at www.hcsv.org.

The life and times of a waitress in Cool Cape May... by Molly Stone

IKE all Cape May servers, I dread August. I dread the exasperated parents, ready for their antsy kids to be out of the house and back in school. I dread the elderly folks whose morale has deteriorated after a summer of heat waves and faulty air conditioning. I dread the tourists who’ve finally grown sick of scouring trinket shops for a hermit crab with a personality. The collective Cape May attitude changes from something like: We’re going to have fun here, to something more like: We’re going to have fun here, damn it.

Every year in August, this calm and beautiful beach resort becomes instead a hostile island of testy, human grenades.

Add to this tension of the full moon that lit up the ocean surface like a bad omen last night, and I should have seen it coming.

And by “it,” of course, I mean the mano-amano fist-fight that nearly erupted in the classy, intimate dining room where I work.

A table of five, three grown adults and their parents, sat early in the evening. They commented on the lovely table as they

scanned their menus. They ordered a bottle of wine, and then another. The whitehaired father peered approvingly over his coke-bottle glasses at the scene before him.

This was a family reunion, a time of celebration. With each swig of wine, his laugh grew more boisterous and the storytelling became more animated. The conversation bounced off the walls of the dining room in a foreign way – this is a restaurant of muted chit-chat and quiet jazz. It grew difficult to speak to my tables without screaming over this outspoken family.

Finally, the gentleman at the next table, a tall Jersey boy of the fist-pumping variety, couldn’t take it any longer. He beckoned

his lady to follow him out of the dining room, but stopped to sarcastically thank the wrongdoer for ruining his evening.

“Congratulations,” he said. “Jerk.”

The elderly gentleman appeared stunned. Then he leapt from his chair (or, rather, stood up from his chair, slowly; he was in his late seventies, after all).

“Should we take this to the parking lot?” said the older man.

“Oh, I’ll take this to the parking lot,” said his aggressor.

Granted, this restaurant doesn’t have a parking lot. I assume they were referring to the proverbial parking lot, where men spit testosterone and wax masculine. Where even the most arthritic white knights can throw down, and meat-heads can defend the honor of their Snooki-like maidens.

Unfortunately, nothing happened. The chef came out from the kitchen to diffuse the situation. Too bad, because I was looking to get in on the action and release some pent-up aggression. After all, hell hath no fury like a bitter waitress…in Cape May… at the end of August.

The Old Fogey

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

I

REMEMBER my days as a football star, as quarterback with the Cape May Cocks. Our colors were red and gold, and our emblem a strutting, erect cockerel, embodying our fair citizens’ chief attributes of pride, an excess of self-confidence and an endless delight in hearing our own voices.

In those days, of course, we didn’t wear padding, and so keen were we to showcase the sport’s Olympian attributes that we also frequently discarded our uniforms midway through the game. Ah, the sight of all those cocks on one pitch used to have women fainting away and grown men pointing and staring.

Our balls then were also different from now: they were heavier, for a start, to build muscle and discourage cissies. The average weight of one was around 100lbs, and when thrown by a star like myself, could easily break the sound barrier and when landing, scatter sods and bodyparts for a 100 yards in every direction.

Of course, kicking them was a rather painful experience, but it didn’t deter us

in the least – what is a broken toe or dozen to worry about?, I used to ask the bruised and battered yet still proud cocks during timeouts?

We used to practice every morning as the sun came up, fueled by coffee, cigarettes and some hired strumpets whom I bussed in from Atlantic City. And when a player suffered a minor injury, such as a heart attack or severed limb, I used to give him a sip from my silver hip f lask, which was filled with morphine.

We were, of course, unbeatable, and in time no local teams would play us. So we took to the road and toured the world, playing all comers. We would show up in a town, line up the cocks to taunt the local lads, place a wager on the outcome and clean up.

By the time we left the next morning, after a night of celebration at a local bar, we left the citizenry bruised, battered and unable to walk.

All good things come to an end, though: increasing rules and regulations meant that such fancy ideas as “safety” and “a wish to finish a game without a fatality on the pitch” came into vogue and killed the spirit of the sport.

I had a final showdown with the governing body, who had the nerve to suggest we comply. I had had enough and snapped, shouting to them, “I will take my cocks and shove them right up your”… oh, here’s Kitchener with my evening whisky… I will finish the anecdote later, dear hearts…

Confessions Of A Cape May Lover

C

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

APE May fever is spreading across north Jersey, as my sister-in-law Meredith and her husband Lazaro headed southbound on the Garden State Parkway last week. That Wednesday morning, I had heard the reports of violent rain hitting parts of South Jersey. That afternoon I started receiving text messages from them — “Is there really an Exit Zero?

Where do we eat?” Due to the extreme precipitation, they found themselves apprehensive of traveling too much further into town. I returned a message — “Do you see Lucky Bones? Go there.” Perfect. About an hour later I received a reply from Meredith — “They may have the best fries I’ve ever eaten.” That’s a pretty stellar endorsement for Lucky Bones. Lazaro had the Cuban pork sandwich and Cuban black bean soup and thought both were excellent (he’s also Cuban, but I’m sure that had no effect on his review).

The next day had better weather, and they discovered the Cape May County Zoo (a personal favorite of mine) and saw the

snow leopard cubs (we’re an animal-loving family, so the zoo is a particularly pleasing activity). They found a room at the Hotel Alcott, located at 107-113 Grant Street (609884-5868) for a very reasonable price and were extraordinarily pleased! The location was only a block away from the beach and it was an easy walk to the Washington Street Mall. Meredith described it as having the charm of a B&B with the convenience of a hotel (helpful and friendly staff, continental breakfast, clean and comfy). I’m sold.

We’re also a huge free-sample-loving family – I can’t even explain what goes on at department store counters when Meredith and I are unleashed. So, Meredith and Lazaro were in heaven as they strolled the mall and picked on samples at Best Darn Kettlecorn and the Fudge Kitchen.

Meredith confessed to eating approximately half a pound of fudge samples, which honestly I think I have surpassed in past years.

The night ended with dinner at Mad Batter, sitting on the porch and enjoying a filet mignon with crab cake and a NY strip steak (both scrumptious options).

The consensus was that they enjoyed their stay immensely and will definitely visit again and plan for a longer trip. They were both impressed by the beauty of the town. Also, they had a pleasant parking experience, utilizing the free street parking after 10pm and parking in the lot near Collier’s during the day.

Another couple converted to Cape May lovers!

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

NVISION a world in which all people eat food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it and good for the planet.”

The national organization, Slow Foods, has made this their main mission (www.slowfoodusa.org). Recently Higher Grounds Café hosted a gathering of the local Slow Foods chapter which included a homegrown tomato tasting contest, dehydrating demo and additional tasty topics.

It was a great gathering of folks with a common conscious to eat locally and/or sustainably and it brought members of the community together as well!

The Garden State’s Jersey Fresh produce gives our chapter more than enough to munch on and is a for sure guaranteed perk for locals and visitors as well. For information getting involved with the local Slow Foods movement e-mail slowfoodsec@ cape-may.net.

Buying local produce during peak seasons is extremely “green”. It is averaged out that a meal travels about 1500 miles before it hits our plates (www.cuesa.org). West

Cape May is blessed with our own Farmers’ Market every Tuesday during the summer months, when local farmers, purveyors, families, friends and muscians gather for some community quality time and to find the farmers’ picks of the week. If you can’t make it to the market some other local farm stands include: No Frills Farm 1028 Seashore Road, Cape May Legates Farm Market 3400 Bayshore Road, Cape May

Rea’s Farm Market 400 Stevens Street, West Cape May Lehner Farms and Nursery 175 South Route 47, Green Creek Marlboro Farm Market Route 47 N, Goshen Myers Farms 425 Route 47 N, Goshen My personal favorite and distributor for Higher Grounds is Jah’s Creation, Egg Harbor (Certified Organic!).

This information can be found at www. state.nj.us/jerseyfresh along with a harvest availability chart for what produce is in season and much more. Listed here is produce that is due to hit the stands soon if they haven’t already.

A Stunning New Sperlak Show Is Coming To SOMA

T

Don’t miss this wonderful collection of pastels from a South Jersey master

HE SOMA NewArt Gallery presents “Variations on a Muse” an exhibition of stunning new pastel paintings by acclaimed regional artist Stan Sperlak. An Opening Artist’s Reception will be held Saturday, September 11 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at the gallery in Cape May. Art lovers and fans of Stan Sperlak are invited to attend. The exhibition continues through October 12. The gallery, at 31 Perry Street, in Carpenter’s Square Mall, is open daily from 10-9pm.

Primarily a landscape artist, Sperlak returns to SOMA with “Variations on a Muse,” reflecting his love of the skies, marshes, oceans, and the fields of southern New Jersey.

“It is timeless subject material, very satisfying for me and changing constantly. I never tire of her. I will push and pull a little, but I expect folks will still hear a familiar song, some new colors and formats. I can only hope to capture a few of these visual moments that I can then share with others, who can see the world through the artist’s eyes, and indulge in an artist’s fancy,” says Sperlak.

He portrays a distinct view of our sea-

“Winter in the Dunes” (16 x 26) is one of the highlights of Stan Sperlak’s new show, “Variations on a Muse”.

shore area in ways that surprise people with the unexpected beauty, and encourages them to look and explore the natural world in ways that they may never have before.

Sperlak’s paintings are colorful personal journeys through South Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. His intensely pigmented work is the result of handmade soft pastels on rough and smooth papers and boards that he prepares.

Sperlak favors pastel as his medium because of the primal nature of using one’s

hands, the sensual experience of touch, and the serendipitous marks that are caused by the unusual shapes of the tools he uses. He has most often worked on smaller pieces “plein air” or on location, but has begun to experiment with very large works from these studies in the studio. “The evolution in the studio is also allowing the artist to challenge color perception and put emotion on notice,” he says.

For more information, contact SOMA at 609-898-7488 or visit www.somagallery.net.

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 live-in girlfriend keeps telling me to get therapy. I’ve had a rough year, but things are turning around, and I’m sure I’ll snap out of this soon. How can I get her to quit bugging me about this? – Kinda Blue Dear Blue The Answer Lady cannot stand it when other people try to tell her what to do. Unless, of course, it’s coming from someone I care about, or it’s about something important, like say… oh, therapy, for instance. In that case she would pay attention, as should you, gentle reader.

Most people are not in the habit of running around recommending therapy to others (unless, of course, they are in the therapy business). Instead, it is usually because they are concerned, they feel there is a problem that needs to addressed, and they

recognize that you are in pain. People have a tendency to panic about the very concept of therapy, but really – what could be more ideal than bouncing your ideas, issues, and problems off a completely objective total stranger who has no preconceived notions and happens to be a trained professional?

Look at it this way – it can’t hurt, right? If it’s not for you, it’s not for you, but at least try it before you write it off. Personally the Answer Lady thinks the world would be a happier place if more people were on the

FEATURE OF THE WEEK

couch. PS: The Answer Lady hopes your girlfriend is “suggesting therapy,” or “asking you to consider therapy,” and not “telling you to get it.”

Dear Answer Lady I think my boyfriend might have a drinking problem. We’re young and we like to hit the local bars for happy hour around town. We always call Aart’s Taxi if we’ve both been drinking, but lately he’s getting totally blotto every time we go out. How do I handle this problem? – His Girl Dear Girl The short answer here is: this is not your problem to handle. If he truly has a drinking problem (and it sounds as if he does, or is well on his way), the only person who can do anything about it is him.

Your only decision is whether or not you wish to stick around while he figures this out. Express your concerns, but keep in mind that no amount of cajoling, nagging, or threatening from you will do the trick.

Decide if you want to be there if and when he gets help, and keep Aart’s on speed-dial.

MADISON is a cute six-year-old gray terrier mix who loves people but is timid at first. She plays well and knows the commands “sit” and “down.” Even though she came with severe allergies she has remained cheerful. Madison has lots of energy and loves to play. All she needs is a home to call her own. If Madison sounds like the right one for you stop in and meet her today. Adoption fee is $35.

«

FOXXY is a sweet seven-year-old female shepherd mix who needs a quiet, adult home. She was an outside dog so she’ll require some training but with lots of love and patience we think she will come around. All she needs now is a second chance to have her own home and an owner who will give her the affection and attention she deserves. Stopy by and see her today.

Adoption fee is $35.

ELIJAH has had a tough time these past months due to the Gulf oil spill.

Many people who have lost their jobs in Louisiana are no longer able to care for their pets. Due to the rising volume of pets at the shelters there many were relocated to other states. Elijah’s life has been turned upside down yet he has managed to remain a wonderful, happy boy. All this sweet guy needs now is a stable home. Adoption fee is $95.

OPAL really is a gem – she has a glorious glossy black coat and is very friendly. She is frisky and loves to play with her brother, Mosh. We’ve got a number of all-black cats here, but Opal stands out for her charming personality. We’d love it if she could go home with her brother, Mosh.

Adoption fee is $70.

MOON and his sister, Sky, are as different as, well, night and day – except for their personalities. Moon is a gorgeous, all-black male. When you approach his cage, it’s a competition between Moon and Sky to see who can reach their paw the furthest out of the cage so you’ll take them out for a cuddle. Adoption fee is $70.

SKY is a sweet, soft, fawn-colored brown tabby, and she is as friendly as can be. This young female loves to play with her brother, Moon, who is dark as midnight.

The two complete each other, and we’d love to see them go home together. See if these two can brighten your horizon! Adoption fee is $70.

Cape Curiosity

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

C

HURCHES have always been an important part of the Cape May community as a place for citizens to come together, both in worship and in meetings. At the beginning of the year, I talked about one of the earliest local Presbyterian churches at Cold Spring. The church cemetery contains marked graves dating back to Sarah Eldredge Spicer’s 1742 final resting place and unmarked graves surmised to be even older.

On Cape Island, Catholic church members established their first chapel in 1803, under Reverend Michael Hurley. The sanctuary was only opened during the summer season, when droves of Catholic visitors flocked to the city, and services were held in local homes throughout the rest of the year.

Around the middle of the century, the first permanent church was built on the southern side of Washington Street, about where La Patisserie sits today. Originally known as St. Mary’s, the church was considerably smaller than what we see now, though it bore a strong resemblance to today’s building.

Continued On Page 104 ?

The first church, St. Mary’s, was constructed of wood in the same style as today’s stone edifice. Cape May County Museum

Wednesday, September 1, 2010

Cape Curiosity ? From Page 103 The official church history shows the St. Mary’s building remained on the southern side of the street until one week after the fire of 1878, when it was moved to its present location. This is contradicted by both an 1872 map of Cape May City and a pre-fire 1878 map that show the building where it sits today. Additionally, William Essen’s bakery, now La Patisserie, was opened in 1872. The confusion may stem from St. Mary’s being renamed Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea and incorporated by New Jersey in 1878.

The picture of the original church building shown on the previous page was previously thought to be taken before it was moved, with workmen preparing foundations across the street. Another 19th century map have helped to prove the picture was actually taken of St. Mary’s at the present location of the church, with the foundations being constructed on the southern side for the building which now houses the Colors clothing store.

The building in the background on the right side of the picture appears to be the home of Mrs. J. Mccray, which fronted on the original Delaware Avenue. Back in the 1800s, the site of today’s Delaware Avenue was little more than swamplands, and the

The St. Mary’s church is shown here covered in ivy, with the former parsonage still standing next door. Don Pocher

original street to use the name was a small alley between Washington and Lafayette. The alley was replaced by a train station, which itself was replaced by Ocean Street, when it was extended to Lafayette.

The original St. Mary’s building was demolished in 1911 and replaced with the stone building we see today. Construction took about two years and cost nearly $44,000.

As you can see from the picture, the new house of worship was strongly modeled after the first building.

For any readers who’d like to see firsthand exactly what that 1848 church looked like, take a ride to 501 Cape Avenue in Cape May Point and visit St. Agnes. It was built with the same specifications as St. Mary’s and still looks nearly identical.

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

I

A weekly column by Catherine Dugan. This week: Kayaking.

F THE thought of kayaking conjures images of whitewater, Eskimo rolls and helmets, think again. Kayaking around the “blueways” of Cape May involves none of that – it’s a gentle way to get close to nature. With a kid in front and an adult in back, you can explore for hours, and get some of the best photos of your vacation.

Kayaks and canoes have been used by hunters since ancient times. In fact, the word “kayak” means “hunter’s boat.” Inuits crafted the earliest kayaks of whalebone, covered with sealskin, to move efficiently through the icy water. In the 1850s, Europeans copied the basic design and modified it for recreation. Today’s ocean kayaks are sit-on-top – no rolling required!

So we took the whole family to Aquatrails, located at the Nature Center on Delaware Avenue, for a morning of paddling. Kayaks rentals are also available at the Miss Chris Marina. Kayaking is about as much exercise as riding a bike – you’ll burn roughly 350 calories per hour. You’re also toning your back, chest, stomach and

arms, but it doesn’t feel like a workout. Nor does it require a lot of skill. The guide will give you a brief lesson, a map, and a dry bag for your cellphone – just in case. Rent double kayaks – the person in back steers and provides most of the power – and set out to enjoy the water.

You can stick to the harbor – wave to the diners at the Lobster House, check out the boats in the marina – or venture into the

gaps in the grasses for a better look at Cape May’s beautiful birds. (Wear bug spray!)

Look for herons, gulls and cormorants.

Greet the reliable ospreys, who return home from places like Venezuela every year to spend the spring and summer, winging their way back to South America as August comes to an end.

Bring a waterproof camera, and take lots of pictures – kayaking photos lead to great scrapbook pages. You can pass the camera back and forth using your paddle.

Wear a T-shirt over your bathing suit, f lipf lops, a hat and sunscreen. Bring a towel to dry off – you’ll be damp from the waist down, even if no one is splashing – and always wear your life jacket.

If you’re new to kayaking, one hour may be enough. With two hours, you can cross the harbor and explore the other side. Or consider a guided tour, which will lead you to hidden beaches you’d never find on your own and to species you’d never recognize.

A Classic On Show At The Stage!

ADVERTISING FEATURE

H

APPY Days, starring Lynn Cohen is a genuine theatrical event, and it opened last week to rave audience reviews. It took two decades for Cape May Stage to muster the courage to tackle the work of Samuel Beckett, arguably the most important playwright of the twentieth century. Though it premiered some 50 years ago, the play continues to cause controversy and discussion. Samuel Beckett won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and Happy Days is his only comedy.

The cultural editor of the New York Post wrote the dramaturgical notes in the program because she was so enamored of Beckett’s work and wanted to contribute. In fact, she’s such a fan of Mr. Beckett that she even named her son Sam. And, when twotime Tony Award-winner Michael Starobin heard Samuel Beckett was on the bill, he offered to write a special “soundscape”.

The commercials on NBC40 have been telling people to call (609) 884-1341 or going online at capemaystage.com to make reservations – you should do the same. The play continues to run Wednesday through Sunday at 8pm through September 25.

Though it is funny, many people describe the play as a kind of trippy dream. Couples of all ages see some of their lives mirrored in these two characters.

Cape May Stage is honored that PNC Arts Alive chose them for a grant, enabling the theatre to offer a “Pay-What-You-Can” night on September 2. This performance is presented through the generosity of PNCs

Lynn Cohen, recently seen as Magda in “Sex and the City 2,” takes on the role of Winnie in the Stage’s latest offering, “Happy Days,” now playing Wednesday-Sunday at 8pm.

New York City performers Kevin Scott Collins and Johanna Weller-Fahy bring their comic cabaret “Book of Crazy: The DSM IV in Song” to Cape May.

Arts Alive mission to help area residents gain access to the arts, and help arts organizations expand and engage audiences. Everybody can see this extraordinary piece of theatre regardless of the ability to pay. On September 11, there will be an American Sign Language performance with an interpreter just to the side of the stage.

On Monday, September 6 at 7pm, the Second Stage presents Book of Crazy, a comic cabaret. According to the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition” individuals with “histrionic personality” (hysteria) need to be the center of attention. Enter New York performers Kevin Scott Collins and Johanna Weller-Fahy as they take center stage singing songs that have been “diagnosed” by a psychiatrist. It’s up to you to help identify the “issue” in each song. Cabaret Scenes Magazine says, “If you miss The Book Of Crazy you should

have your head examined!”

Some make you think, some are purely silly, but all of Cape May Stage’s shows lead up to Cape May Forum’s Can Humor Change The World next month. Stay tuned for what Cape May Stage has in store.

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.”

Bird Droppings

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

H

APPY Hawk Day! The best-est, most anticipated, most feather-wonderful day of the whole calendar year! Today is the FIRST DAY of the Cape May 2010 Hawk Watch Season. From September 1 until November 30, the Cape May Hawk Watch Platform at Cape May Point State Park will be center stage for all things raptorial. And as Woody Allen says, all you have to do is show up.

September 1. In Cape May, the Raptor Capital of North America, that date ranks right up there with February 14, April 15, and July 4; all the little milestones that mark the passage of human lives.

Since 1976, the Cape May Bird Observatory has been orchestrating a count of migrating birds of prey from the state park. Sponsored by Leica Sports Optics, counters and interpreters point out hawks, answer questions, and introduce visitors to one of nature’s greatest annual spectacles – the autumn hawk migration.

Last year, a total of 36,939 hawks, eagles,

EXCELLENT REFERENCES • Free Estimates

falcons, and vultures were tallied.

Sound like a lot? It wasn’t. At least not

by Cape May standards. The average count here is 50,000 birds of prey each fall. Of course, last year’s counter was not the best: some guy they packed in moth balls years ago and rehired largely because he knows the boss and agreed to work cheap.

But this year’s counter is as good as

the last was mediocre. She has a AAA rating from Hawk Migration Council of the Western Universe and is endorsed by the Synod of Counters, The Eagle Lovers of America and Pinochle Club, and the Legion of the Talon and Feather.

She is a Purple Haze Level Member of the Order of Falconiformes, past president of the National Sisterhood of Professional Hawk Counters, four-time winner of the Stratosphere Scrapers Award, not to mention this year’s inductee into the Royal Creche of Stand-Out Hawk Counters.

Her name, by the way, is Melissa Roach, and in addition to her other achievements, she’s a returning veteran of the Cape May Hawk Count.

What kind of hawks, eagles, and falcons do we count? Well, all kinds. All of the species commonly found in the Eastern United States, anyway. Last year’s count included over 14,000 Sharp-shinned Hawks, 5,700 Cooper’s Hawks and 4,000 American Kestrels.

These are the big three; the birds that constitute the bulk of the Cape May hawk migration. Mixed in were over 2,600 Osprey, almost 2,000 Red-tailed Hawks, and 545 Red-shouldered Hawks. Broadwingeds? Poor year. Only 752.

But the falcon f light was nothing to gloss over. Over 1,200 Peregrine Falcons were tallied and almost 2,000 Merlins.

The big news last year was the Bald Eagle total. Almost 500 birds were counted (an average of about 5 eagles per day). Many more eagles were seen, but since there are a pair of Bald Eagles nesting locally, a lot of sightings were dismissed.

What do you need to do to see migrating hawks? Just show up. The Hawk Watch is conducted from sunrise to late afternoon/early evening (whatever you call the 5-6pm range as long as there is enough light in the sky) seven days a week. If it’s raining, the counters relocate to the raised (and covered) pavilion.

Not only that, it’s free.

Where can you go these days and get world-class entertainment for free? One place is Cape May Point State Park.

September 1 through November 30. Raptor Capital of North America. See you there!

For those of you who may not have been familiar with last year’s hawk counter, please

don’t think Seymore is being rude and rash with his cutting remarks about him. Seymore has an extremely tight bond with the former (and first) hawk counter; that other guy from the Cape May Bird Observatory, his nom de plume.

The Cape May Bird Observatory (CMBO), is THE place for anything to do with nature. Located at 701 East Lake Drive overlooking Lake Lily in Cape May Point, the center is open 9:30-4:30pm every day. Ask any of our staff or volunteers – they are always glad to help with anything you need. Check out the newest books, bird feeders, and some great merchandise – including our exclusive CMBO logo jewelry, clothing, totes, and more. Look at the sightings log or our website to check what’s being seen, 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 w w w.BirdCapeMay.org – where birding Cape May is a click away.

Seymore Thanu is none other than 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 on and about nature (available at CMBO) he has written for virtually every birding publication and for The New York Times.

The hawkers converge at the Raptor Capital of North America.

The Movie Column

Come see a classic at the Chalfonte – story byTom Sims, Executive Director of Cape May Film Society

M

AGGIE the cat is alive!

Well, she will be this Labor Day weekend when the Cape May Film Society and the Chalfonte Hotel present Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the Tennessee Williams Pulitzer Prize-winning classic brought to the screen originally in 1958. Consider this a build-up to our feature presentation, namely the Cape May Film Festival, hosted exclusively at the newly-renovated Chalfonte Hotel.

The festival’s new home comes complete with a new time slot as well. We have moved it to the month of October (22-24) this year.

We are currently reviewing film submissions to determine which will be this year’s official selections. This will be our 10th film festival, yet another reason to celebrate. Stay tuned to learn about surprise guests, special presentations, and great parties and socials.

Nominated for six Academy Awards, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was the fifth play written by Williams to hit the big screen. At the center of the film is a trouble couple played by Paul Newman (Brick) and Elizabeth Taylor (Maggie). Many say Taylor has never been sex-

ier than in her role as “the cat,” while Newman resists her advances throughout the film. The two were both nominated for an Oscar.

This story is filled with passion and desire (mostly unfulfilled) – and this despite the fact that more difficult themes of homosexuality were excluded from the film version due to the Hays Code (a set of censure rules for movies

which were still in effect in the 1950s). The play has been through several revivals, and TV has brought some remakes to the small screen – but the 1958 version stands out as the premiere adaptation.

FREE PASS TRIVIA! A new feature we’ll promote periodically here in the movie column. We’ll ask readers to respond to our email address with trivia questions in response to a trivia question. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was based on a play by Tennessee Williams. For a free weekend pass to this year’s Cape May Film Festival, be the first to email capemayfilm@ hotmail.com with the title for one other films based on a play by Williams! For two free passes, be the first one to name at least five of the Williams’ plays adapted for the big screen.

No sneaking around on Google or IMDB.com!

The film is a Chalfonte staff favorite, mainly selected because of how it reflects a southern style the hotel seeks to emulate.

Join us for this special program on Sunday, September 5 at 8:00pm. The event is free with donations accepted to further the work of the film society in educational outreach to students, at-risk youth, and adult learners. 
