Classic Quotations Mid Atlantic Center For The Arts And Humanities
A Story From The Past My idea of heaven is a great big baked potato and someone to share it with. – Oprah Winfrey The man who has nothing to boast of but his illustrious ancestry is like the potato – the best part is under ground. – Thomas Overbury Usually I trundle about in trainers and baggy jeans, looking about as attractive as a potato.– Gail Porter How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners and instant cameras teach patience to its young? – Paul Sweeney Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes. – Louisa May Alcott
In 1878, construction began on one of Cape May’s most widely recognized mansions, the Emlen Physick Estate. The home was built by Dr Physick, who purchased an area of swampland on the eastern end of Washington Street with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. At the time the home was built, that entire area of the island was barren and powerful storms brought the ocean all the way to the edge of Dr Physick’s property. – Ben Miller

Random Fact Of The Week
In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson offered his guests at the White House “potatoes served in the French style.” Although in the early 20th century “French-fried” often simply meant deep-fried, it is thought that Thomas Jefferson might be responsible for the name “French fry.”
Fortune Cookie Of The Week J It’s tough to be fascinating. J Once a week, the folks at Exit Zero eat at Cape Orient, the island’s fine Asian restaurant. Sometimes we find pearls of wisdom at the end of our meal. And sometimes we don’t. The above fortune cookie was eaten with the house mei fun and teriyaki chicken. Please note: Any typos are not ours, but those of the fortune cookie manufacturers. We print them as we find them.

Ramblings From The Editors Ideas, idle gossip and occasionally important odds ’n’ ends
T
his past weekend was the Cape May Chili and Chowder Challenge at Congress Hall, and according to John Cooke, one of the event’s organizers and the chamber of commerce president, many of you were in attendance. “The event exceeded our expectations,” John said, “The turnout was enormous. We had more than 100 people there in the first hour, and we were only expecting to get a trickle of folks at first. One family came to Cape May from Princeton solely to come to this event.” The event had four categories: professional chili, professional chowder, amateur chili and amateur chowder. Taking home the prize for Best Professional Chef Chowder was Depot Market’s Chris Shriver. What set his chowder apart? “It was a roasted garlic, spinach clam chowder. Those three ingredients blend so well together, and the combination of them is what sets the soup apart. I also used locally sourced clams from the LaMonica family,” said Chris. “I entered that recipe in a seafood festival 13 years ago and it won. At Depot Market we have great, homemade products and soup is one of the things we are known for.” Zoe’s own Don Wood was deemed the winner of Best Professional Chef Chili and was even willing to share his winning technique. “I use sweet Italian sausage and ground chuck. I also use a mix of beans rather than just one type of bean and a lot of fresh herbs which makes a difference. And, I’m not a big spice person – it’s more
Cape May is ranked in good company with such world-renowned US destinations as Telluride, Colorado and Carmel, California. So best foot forward for the coming season, everyone – it’s onward and upward to number one from here. It’s time to shake off that wintertime lethargy, folks. Cape May is bubbling with activity over the next few weeks. If you’re of the musical persuasion then you’ll want to attend the Mayes Duo performance, scheduled for March 20 in the beautiful Southern Mansion on Washington Street. This ensemble will play a range of guitar pieces featuring well-known composers like Scarlatti and esoteric artists like Ourkouzounov. Never heard of him? Get yourself to this concert and you will! Check page 35 for more details. How about a little song and dance? Don’t miss LCMR High School’s production of Me and My Girl, a Pygmalion-style musical comedy about a Cockney bloke who’s asked to sacrifice his love interest for a life in high society. Zac LaTorre plays the bloke and Susie Booth is the love interest. For more details, consult our article on page 28. If you’re feeling a bit peckish after the winter hibernation, prepare yourself for Cape May Forum’s first event in anticipation of their summer programming. On April 2 you can attend “Making A Living Making Food,” a combined food expo and marketplace where you can have your fill (or fill your grocery bag) with farm-fresh produce, homemade goods and more. If all that food has only piqued your appetite, make a reservation for the Slow Food Dinner that follows, where you’ll enjoy a delicious meal and a cash wine bar from Cape May Winery. For more details, consult our article on page 15.
about the f lavor than the heat. I don’t use chili powders, so my chili doesn’t have that cheap, chili-powder taste.” Although the chili is not on Zoe’s regular menu, Don assured us that it will be available as a special during the spring and fall. Jim Cutshall and Rick Hubbs also deserve recognition for their winning entries in Best Home Chef Chowder and Best Home Chef Chili respectively. If you missed the competition, don’t fret too much, you’ll have a chance to try it out next year. “We are already working on plans to make next year’s even larger,” John said. Another good bit of news from the world wide web regarding our beautiful little town: Cape May was ranked 5th on Trip Advisor’s list of “Top 10 Charming Small Towns in the US” last week – not that those of us who live and vacation here didn’t know that already. Trip Advisor is the world’s largest travel site, so this is a pretty big deal. All of its reviews are written by travel consumers, so this accolade is not being handed down from some snooty travel professional – it’s coming straight from the horses’ mouths, so to speak.

Making A Living Making Food
I
Cape May Forum offers an event that’s tasty AND educational this April
f there’s one thing that is not in short supply in Cape May, it’s folks who make their living in the food industry. How timely, then, for the fine folks of Cape May Forum: Chautauqua at the Shore to present the very first food expo and marketplace, Making a Living Making Food, scheduled for Saturday, April 2, from 3-6 pm at Star of the Sea Parish Hall. The event will feature 30 vendors offering farm-raised products and handmade goods. The expo and marketplace will feature a wide variety of products from baked goods to wines, honey, handcrafted products and much more. There will also be how-to panels on starting a home business, a resource table and authors and local artists who celebrate the culture of food. It will be an afternoon featuring new and unique products, relaxed educational opportunities and entertainment. The expo will be followed by a Slow Food Dinner at 6:30. The cost is $45 per person, and there will be a cash wine bar provided by the lovely people at Cape May
Winery. Reservations and prepaid tickets are strongly recommended – reserve by March 26 for guaranteed seating. All Cape May Forum proceeds from this event will go to support their upcoming Chautauqua at the Shore program of speakers and workshops, “Guess What’s Coming for Dinner? The Politics of Food in the 21st Century.” That event is scheduled to run in Cape May from September 15-25. Cape May Forum: Chautauqua at the Shore, is a non-profit organization founded
in 2009 and modeled after the Chautauqua Institute in New York. Cape May Forum provides an annual forum where creative artists, speakers, events and courses are presented with the intent to enhance the Cape May experience for residents and visitors, and to attract newcomers to Cape May. The program showcases the existing cultural, artistic, educational and recreational aspects of the community. For more information, call (609) 7702626, or email info@capemayforum.com.

Name: Alex Hamilton. Workplace: All Irish Imports. Age: Twenty-eight. Hometown: Sea Isle City. How long have you been here? Five years. Best thing about the job: The customers, for sure. I have great bosses, I like the employee discount and it’s great to have yearround employment. What do you recommend here? The clothes are great and I especially like the variety of T-shirts we have here. What’s your other dream job? I don’t know, I never really thought about that. Probably something to do with working with animals – I just love them. Favorite thing about Cape May: I would say definitely the quaintness of it. There is not nearly as much charm in Sea Isle as there is here in Cape May. Interview by Kate Chadwick

www.pilothousecapemay.com
A 1937 photograph from the original production of “Me and My Girl,” which will show at the high school beginning on March 17.
T
he hilarious British import, Me and My Girl, has crossed the pond and will be presented by the talented students of Lower Cape May Regional High School on Thursday, March 17 through Saturday, March 19 at 8pm at The Paul W. Schmidtchen Theatre of the high school in Erma. There will also be a matinee on Sunday, March 20 at 2pm. Me and My Girl is Pygmalion in reverse, where the sole heir of a massive inheritance is a Cockney bloke who must be transformed into a gentleman before he can claim his fortune. Achieving gentleman status also requires an engagement to one Lady Jaqueline Carstone. The problem is that Bill already has an intended, a Cockney lass by the name of Miss Sally Smith. Sally is prepared to leave Bill so that he can claim his rightful place among the gentry, but Bill will have none of it, opting instead to chuck all of those riches for the sake of his girl. Of course, merriment and buffoonery ensue in this wonderfully uplifting
and engaging musical comedy – think Monty Python meets My Fair Lady. “The Lambeth Walk,” “Leaning on the Lamp,” and the title song “Me and My Girl” are a few of the featured musical numbers in the production. The cast includes Zac LaTorre as Bill, the irascible Cockney, Susie Booth as Sally, his love interest and Kyra Adams as Lady Jaqueline. Other cast members include Chucky Nagel, Steven Church Jr, Nismah Osman, Brian Bienko, Monty LoSasso and Stephanie Harron. The principal dancers are Carly Acardi, Andrea Bispels, Elizabeth Brown, Tara Catanoso, Alaina Fox, Alyssa Fazio, Randi Isenhart and Emily Tomlin. Me and My Girl is produced and directed by Paul J. Mathis through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. of New York. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the door prior to the performance. For more information on tickets and showtimes, contact Lower Cape May Regional High School at (609) 884-3475.

Mayes Duo Strums At Southern Mansion
Access to Art presents an eclectic concert of guitar favorites
A
Joseph and Kathleen Mayes will play pieces by Zimmerman, Scarlatti and more.
ccess to Art will present a Mayes guitar duo concert with Joseph and Kathleen Mayes at the charming Southern Mansion on March 20 at 2pm at 720 Washington Street. Both Mayes teach at Rowan University, and Kathleen teaches at Burlington County College as well. The concert benefits both the Sam Maitin Summer Chamber Music Series and the Renaissance Festival. Works by Zimmerman, Tesar, Scarlatti, Gagnon, Ourkouzounov, Madriguera and Lecouna will be performed. “We are so glad to be able to work with Rowan University again and to have their generous assistance from their music department,” said Barbara Beitel, Access to Art Director. “We have to begin the long, uphill climb to fund our music festival again this year. Last year was tight, and we did the Renaissance Festival, which was costly and wonderful. So, like the phoenix, we need to rise from the ashes, raise the money, and bring the event to our area again for its 13th year. We invite those who love the Sam Maitin
Music Festival to come out and support us,” Beitel said. Access to Art has presented the Mayes Duo at its Maitin Chamber Music Series twice. Joseph Mayes, who studied with Segovia, also performed on the lute with Dr Bertram Greenspan of Rowan University’s string department, accompanying Dr Bart Singer, who sang Renaissance songs both sad and lusty. Joseph Mayes, who heads the Early Music Department at Rowan, said the two secular genres the Renaissance specialized in were sad and bawdy, and they presented one of each in last year’s first introduction to the Renaissance given by Greenspan. “We had a lot of good feedback on that event. We plan on offering another program with Dr Greenspan in which he will address the flight of Greeks from Turkey, bearing Greek and Latin classics to Italy, where the European Renaissance took on a character of its own,” says Beitel. Tickets for this concert at the Southern Mansion are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and students. For more information and reservations, call Access to Art at (609) 465-3963.

Angel Salazar will be one of the comedians featured at PAL’s Comedy Night Social.
T
he Police Athletic League will host a Comedy Night Social on March 25 from 7-10pm at the West Cape May Fire Hall. We spoke with the event coordinator, Officer Tony Genaro, who tells us this has been a sell-out event for the organization for the past several years. “I wanted to do something different from the usual beefand-beer fundraiser,” Officer Genaro said. “The first year was a little rough. It was held in the old convention center, and I was using a different booking agency back then. I got five comedians for $1,000. The lesson there: you get what you pay for – it was terrible. There’s nothing worse than 300 people in one room, not laughing. Now I pay more money for fewer comics, but these guys are professionals, so it’s worth it. This year we have Angel Salazar and Bill Garagan. Not only do you get a bunch of people together for a great cause, but there’s a certain electricity in the room when everyone is laughing, so that’s a bonus. Plus, Lucky Bones is providing the food,
beer and wine, and they always do such a great job for us.” Tickets for the event are $35 online, $40 at the door, and Tony wanted to stress that tickets to this year’s event are only available online. “I’ve got a small number set aside to have available at the door this year, but I want to make sure that people understand I’m not walking around with a bunch of these tickets. They’ll have to go online to get them.” You can purchase those tickets at www. capemaypal.eventbrite.com. And it’s for a great cause. The Cape May Police Athletic League supports several programs for over 100 area kids, including summer and winter basketball teams, as well as sponsoring such events as National Night Out each August and the annual Christmas season toy drive. Get yourself a ticket and enjoy a night of socializing with your neighbors while enjoying Lucky Bones food and Borgata-level entertainment without the long drive – most definitely a bargain. Questions? Call Officer Tony at 609-884-9518 or email pal@capemaycity.com.

that year’s glorious crop, of course, but the stunted specimen they managed to escape with gave them the basic, if degenerate, blueprint for a tiny, tasteless relative of the maytato, which they unimaginatively named the potato. More tragic was the ensuing potato blight that a.) filled this fine nation with rowdy, red-haired Irishmen, and b.) decimated our own splendid tubers when they brought the blight over on their ill-fitting, clod-clogged boots. I remember the sum-
mer the crops failed and the price of a maytato went from ten guineas to a thousand pounds. The last maytato banquet in Cape May was in the D’Catur Mansion, where 100 guests met to salute and consume a 300-lb beauty garnished with radishes, butter and bitter tears. Of course, the humble potato recovered where the maytato did not, and I can still hardly bear to look at, never mind touch, one of those hand-sized, dull little beasts that pile up in vegetable stands. Still, what I can now reveal is that we managed to quarantine just one pure, untouched specimen, free of the blight and the touch of Irishmen, and it lies in a sealed, climate-controlled room beneath the Mansion under 24-hour guard. Some day soon we will finish the cloning process (as soon as I have made ten copies of Young Albert, as part of my plan for a pack of hyper-intelligent Yorkshire terriers, in case of civil disorder, and to keep the annual shoebie inf lux under control) and once again, the world will tremble at the name of the Cape Maytato.

do love a maytato, and salute its superiority to that scrawny little tuber, the potato. Back in the day, Cape May was the only place in the world to grow maytatos, and the shore was lined with eateries of every sort, each celebrating the king of dishes. Of course, the maytato was a colossal beast, around the size of a horse and carriage and so packed with goodness that a family of ten could live off one for a year, then use the thick lustrous skin to make lovely clothes and stout boots. They were a gorgeous golden brown, and were dragged from the ground by teams of laborers with soft cotton ropes so as not to bruise them. They were then cooked on colossal skillets, taking many hours, until the aroma was so strong as to attract hordes of Wildwooders clutching crude spoons and baying for a taste. We had to employ policemen with sticks to disperse them. That of course was our undoing, as some Irish fellows decided to steal a maytato (a crime punishable by death by slow baking in foil). They failed to net one of

Customer Service
I
The life and times of a waitress in Cool Cape May... by Molly Stone
have always struggled with language barriers. Once, in Australia, I called myself a dirty blonde in front of a group of rugby players. It didn’t take long for me to realize that, Down Under, there’s only one kind of dirty blonde, and hair color has little to do with it. I took Latin in college, and only passed because my professor pitied my utter inability to grasp the ablative case. But whenever I’ve traveled or studied a second language, I’ve prepared myself for misunderstandings. What I’ve never prepared myself for is trouble communicating in Cape May. Yet, at the restaurant where I work, the native tongue can be as nuanced as any ablative case I’ve ever studied. “Eighty-six calamari!” the chef shouted to me my first day on the job. “Uh-oh,” I thought, “did I accidentally order eighty-six calamari dishes?” Or maybe, I considered, eighty-six refers to the kind of calamari the restaurant carries. I imagined saying: “Eighty-six calamari is the special tonight, folks,” and “Quite a delicacy, that eighty-six calamari is.”
I didn’t realize that to “eighty-six” an item means to run out of it… until I went ahead and ordered another calamari from the kitchen. This prompted all sorts of words, most of them four letters long, that I had no trouble understanding. This first week on the job, I also learned that “on the f ly” (A f ly? Where?!) means to hurry it up. And I learned that “Fire!” (A fire? Where?!) means to go ahead and start cooking a table’s next course. I learned that “the f loor,” refers to the dining room, “order fire,” refers to a one-course ticket, and “in the weeds,” refers to a server or cook who’s more busy than he can reasonably handle. I learned that a food runner, if he’s male, is

almost always called Susy or Betty or some other feminine name with a ‘y’ on the end, but only if the cooks like him. After a few weeks, I felt as though I’d gotten a handle on the back-of-house (kitchen) lingo. Surprisingly, it was the language of the dining room that took a bit longer to decode. For example, if a customer promises a server that he’ll “take care of her,” this means he’ll be tipping no more than seven percent. If he orders his steak “somewhere between pretty cooked and mostly cooked,” he wants it dead (kitchen-speak for “very well done”). And if he holds up his table long after his bill is paid, he is what we in the business refer to as “camping.” But not all restaurant lingo has left me befuddled during my serving career. There are some phrases, I’m proud to say, I’ve never had trouble understanding. “Ready for your shift-drink?” the chef asked me at the end of my first exhausting Saturday night on the f loor. “Now,” I thought, gladly taking a Heineken from his outstretched hand, “you’re speaking my language.”

Cape May Must Haves
The finest things from the shops of this charmed city... by Kate Chadwick
St Paddy’s Day Gear From All Irish Imports
Irish Potatoes From The Fudge Kitchen
Horseshoe Crab Hoodie From Flying Fish
It’s just silly to write about must-haves this week without including All Irish Imports – quite possibly even illegal. They’ve got everything you need to celebrate the one day a year that everyone is Irish. Look for green sequined baseball caps, Irish socks, scarves, and collars and leashes for the pets. 401 Lafayette Street, 609-884-4484, www. allirishimports.com.
Okay, so these little nuggets aren’t exactly Irish and contain no potato whatsoever, but they look like spuds and boy are they delicious! The Original Fudge Kitchen will mail them to your favorite leprechaun anywhere in the United States for the low, low price of $19.95, or just stop in at either location and pick some up for $11.50 a pound. 800-23FUDGE, www.fudgekitchens.com.
Get your green on with the assistance of our friends at the Flying Fish Studio. These way-cool hoodies are just the thing for the wearing of the green if you’re not the sequined-baseball-cap-wearing type of leprechaun. Even better, these sweatshirts are available in kids’ sizes for $20, adults for $25. 130 Park Boulevard, 609-884-2760, www. theflyingfishstudio.com.
Greenery From Kate’s Flowers
Irish Cheese From Seaside Cheese
Bottle Of Wine From Cape May Winery
Get those Irish eyes smiling with a lovely bouquet from the crew over at Kate’s Flower Shop. Check out this lovely arrangement, featuring daffodils from the River Shannon. And of course they’ll have your green carnations and your beautiful Bells of Ireland just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day. 600 Park Boulevard, 609-884-6181, www.katesflowershop.com.
You need something to nibble on while drinking all that green beer – how about some Irish cheese? That’s right – we said Irish cheese. We sampled this lovely Cahill Porter Cow’s Milk Irish Cheddar, made with Guinness Stout, available from our favorite cheese purveyors at Seaside Cheese Company. 600 Park Boulevard, 609-884-8700, www.seasidecheesecompany.com.
You say you’re not the green beer type? Get over to Cape May Winery and pick up some of their award-winning elixirs. We checked with the winemaker, who says their barrelfermented Chardonnay, their Isaac Smith Red Reserve or the Isaac Smith Port will pair nicely with cheeses. Sample for yourself, every day! 711 Townbank Road, 609-884-1169, www.capemaywinery.com.

The Answer Lady
T
he Answer Lady invites inquiries from gentle readers on all manners of relationship quandaries, matters of the heart and ethics. If you’d like to send a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Dear Answer Lady I love my other half to pieces – she’s an awesome wife and a great mom, but she dresses like a 12-year-old boy. How do I get her to spice it up without getting my butt handed to me? – Need My Butt Dear Butt It can’t be done, but thank you for writing! The Answer Lady jests, of course. Your wife’s suspicions will definitely be aroused if you suddenly start accompanying her when she shops for clothes if you’ve never been in the habit of doing so before. A safer bet may be to present her with a gift certificate from Caroline Boutique. Even if your beloved has no sartorial sense whatsoever, the staff at Caroline is so fashionforward that it will be a breeze for even the most vogue-challenged ladies among us – and the Answer Lady includes herself in
Wise answers to perplexing questions
that group. By the way, gentle reader, what are you wearing right now? You may want to peruse the contents of your own closet before you try to remedy the wife’s wardrobe. It’s not fair to throw stones from the comfort of one’s glass house. Dear Answer Lady I’m a senior in high school, and I’ve been wondering – how do I get my girlfriend’s dad to like me? – Chuck Dear Chuck It can’t be done, but thank you for writ-
ing! Again, the Answer Lady jests, but my goodness, she is being pelted with difficult questions today! In a way, though, it really can’t be done – your girlfriend’s father will never fully embrace the gentleman who will potentially take his little girl away from him, as much as he may grow to love you. Also, there are some things that you may never be able to overcome – any prejudices he may have, for instance – you’re Irish, he’s not, or the other way around. So where does that leave us? We address the things we can. For heaven’s sake, dress yourself presentably – by your parents’ standards, not your friends’ – stand up straight, make eye contact, have a decent handshake, and, above all else, MIND YOUR MANNERS. “Please,” “thank you,” “yes, sir,” “no, sir,” – these words will go a long way in making a good impression on your elders – as bizarre and alien as they may be to you at this point in your life (the words – not the elders. Okay, both. Oh, never mind.) And the Answer Lady needn’t remind you that you must treat his precious child like the treasure that she is, correct?

The Cape May Crossword
None of that generic nonsense you see in other papers... a puzzle just for “Exit Zero”! By Dan Mathers So YOU love crosswords? Great. Sit down, get a cup (or glass) of your favorite beverage, relax and enjoy this puzzle. The answers to the crossword are all related to this week’s issue. Our theme this week: Potatoes. The solution can be found on the front page of our website, www.exitzero.us. Across 7. This breakfast dish is prepared by shredding and pan-frying a potato. 4. If you’re too lazy to make this type of potato by hand, you can always buy the instant version – just add hot water. 6. Why bother waiting for the oven to heat up? Many microwaves have a pre-set function for making this type of potato. 9. Whether in the stem or the root, many plants – like the potato – store nutrients in this structure. 11. The potato was the primary food for this empire and allowed it to be the largest in pre-Columbian South America. 12. We suggest you stop by C-View and try this part of the potato covered in cheese, bacon and sour cream. 13. The yam is in no way related to the potato, but people often confuse it for this orange, pointed type of potato. 16. This type of thickened soup is often made with potatoes. New England is famous for it. 17. This popular potato dish simply means “with cheese” in French. 20. This children’s toy consists of a plastic potato mold with interchangeable body parts and has been produced since 1952.
Is that spelled with or without the “E”?... 21 Across.
21. He was the 44th Vice President of the United States and is famously remembered for incorrectly correcting a student’s spelling of “potato.” 22. This country now produces more potatoes than any other in the world. 23. Cut a potato into long, thin strips, pop them in the deep fryer, and you have this. DOWN 2. You will need plenty of butter, scalded milk, cheese and a whole bunch of thinly slice potatoes to make this dish. 3. The potato is the fourth-largest crop in the world, behind rice, maize and this. 5. After slaughtering and enslaving an entire continent, these people brought the potato back to Europe. 6. Due to a lack of genetic diversity in the crop, this potato disease destroyed the entirety of Ireland’s potatoes, causing this. 7. Invented in Philadelphia, this confection is made by coating coconut nougat with cocoa powder and cinnamon.
8. This state produces nearly one-third of all the potatoes grown within the United States. 10. To promote its cultivation in poor countries, this international organization declared 2008 to be The International Year of the Potato. 13. Chop up some potatoes and hard-boiled eggs, then add a bit of relish and a scoop of mayonnaise, and you have this potato dish. 14. Known generically to many as a “potato pancake,” Ukrainian Jews are more likely to call it this. 15. The Great Irish Famine caused mass emigration and killed this many people either through famine or disease. 16. In America, this word refers to potatoes sliced thinly then deep-fried until they are crispy. 18. Potatoes have long grown at extreme elevation in these South American mountains. 19. All potatoes have a genetic history tracing them back to the southern region of this South American country.

“I love this game,” says junior Brandon Adams, who was recently announced as the winner of the Glen Holland Award for the League’s Most Outstanding Goalie. This 17-year-old goalie has accomplished a lot over the course of his short ice hockey career and is a proven hard worker. Adams lives in North Cape May, the only son of Tina and Paul. His parents first put Adams on the street hockey rink at the age of five, where he played goalie from the very beginning. Although it was a difficult transition from street to ice, he has made his mark on Lower Cape May Regional ice hockey history. Adams says that he gets his inspiration from his favorite player, Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburg Penguins, who wears number 29 on his jersey, just like Brandon. Adams even plays on a spring hockey league, just so he can keep up his game in the off-season. Adams loves everything about hockey, so many things in fact that he can’t put his finger on just one thing. Brandon Adams is truly a mentor for younger kids to follow.

A weekly column by Catherine Dugan. This week: Fiber Arts Knitting Retreat
nitting is having a renaissance – again. It seems to happen every generation as new knitters discover their parents’ art of creating cloth out of sticks and string. This time, knitting is the new yoga – a low-tech technique to keep you grounded in our high-tech world. And knitters, both new and experienced, shared their techniques at the Fiber Arts Knitting Retreat in Cape May this weekend. Knitting has been going in and out of fashion since about the year 1000. Egyptians were probably the first to knit, and the art passed along trade routes to Europe. During medieval times, knitting was controlled by professional guilds – all men. As the art spread, wool became the fabric of choice. Fishermen and sailors were soon knitting on ship for something to do. Later, their wives and daughters joined in, and knitting became a household chore. Royalty reclaimed knitting and gave it some cache in the 19th century when Queen Victoria learned to crochet. As anyone who has toured a Victorian home knows,

artisans of that era were big on doilies. In 1857, the Earl of Cardigan led a well-dressed if ill-fated brigade, and lent his name to a new style of sweater. In 1921, the Prince of Wales popularized the Fair Isle style of sweater, sparking another wave of interest. Interest waned later in the 20th century, when machine-knit garments became affordable. It peaked again during World War II, when civilians were encouraged to “knit your bit” to create everything

from cotton bandages to watch caps and sweaters to keep our soldiers warm. Boys and girls learned to knit in school with yarn supplied by the Red Cross. Many put their knitting needles down after the war, but others continued to knit in bright colors – anything that wasn’t army green. With the hippies came a return to interest in the home arts, which faded with the preppies, only to be rediscovered by Generation X. The generations met at the Fiber Arts Knitting retreat, where knitters explored traditional techniques and modern methods. New yarns were showcased, allowing knitters to create high fashion clothing, including purses, hats and scarves. The Fiber Arts workshops included crochet jewelry, clay buttons, felted bags, and “Fair Isle without Fear.” There were also contests, bingo, a charity knitting event, and, of course, a fashion show. Knitting is hot again. What better place to explore it than Cape May, home of the mystery knitters? Next Week: Singer-Songwriter of Cape May

Champ is a just a fantastic dog on every level. He does well with other animals and everyone he meets. He’s very sweet, well-behaved and playful. He knows some commands but could use a little more training. Even when he jumps, he doesn’t put the full weight of his body on you. He’s just a really great dog who would make a loyal family pet. Unfortunately all that’s missing in his life right now is a family! Adoption fee is $95.

Kevin came to our shelter emaciated after his owner had passed. After being here for a couple of months he was adopted but had to be returned because he didn’t do well with children in the home. Kevin just bonds to one person and becomes very protective. He is a great dog who is very affectionate. He just really needs a one-person home. If you’re a single person, stop by him. Adoption fee is $35.

Bird Droppings
T
The weekly report from the world’s birdwatching capital... by Seymore Thanu
his column is about woodcocks. (Snicker, snicker.) Stop being sophomoric. A woodcock is a bird. If you had something else in mind, you were mistaken. Probably explains why you’ve never seen one. But you can. Just about now, about the same time those little bunnies get interested in more little bunnies, the American Woodcock starts feeling its oats as well. Warmer evenings now through early May prompt these hormonally fueled shorebirds to go ballistic advertising their lust. What does a woodcock look like? It looks like meatloaf on a stick (more nearly a plump, buff and brown bird with a really, really long bill and big dark eyes placed high atop its head). It uses this bill to probe for earthworms and uses those high-set eyes to look for danger while it’s committing osculation with the earth. It is... ...really an anomalous creature; an upland shorebird, but utterly winsome. When they walk, they bounce (not quite Tigger-like, more like a Saturday Night Fever
John Travolta strut). When they go aloft looking for love, they twitter, like Thumper (the lovesick rabbit in Bambi). They’re twitterpated! The birds are courting and the courtship f light of the American Woodcock is worth experiencing, particularly since you don’t have to go far to experience it. Launch sites are found in open fields (or large

grassy yards) like Higbee Beach, at the Meadows (the Nature Center’s Cape May Migratory Bird Refuge) and in parts of the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge (most notably on Woodcock Lane off Route 47). Here’s what you do. Head out to one of these places at dusk (or dawn). Listen. Woodcocks warm up their booster engines by ‘peenting.’ A peent sounds like a short, reedy buzz given at about 10-15 second intervals. Then the birds go ballistic, spiraling high on twittering wings, delivering a series of notes that sound like water dripping in the caverns of your mind, or the ending notes of the first cut on Emerson Lake and Palmer’s Brain Salad Surgery album (but unless you are an old EL&P fan this reference is probably too esoteric to be of much use). [Ed. Note: Correct, Seymore.] Does it work? Or, as otherwise stated, does the guy get the girl? Apparently, yes. Woodcock, while declining overall, are still reasonably common. This means that the ranks of birds thinned by normal attrition

Bird Droppings ? From Page 71 are being almost matched by recruitment into the population courtesy of procreation. The root of the decline is not linked to erectile dysfunction (so far as we know). The problem is loss of habitat. Woodcock thrive in a narrow vegetative band: upland edges and regenerating woodlands in the early stages of succession. A hundred years ago, when fallow farmland reverted to forest, woodcock thrived. As forests mature, woodcock decline. When forests reach their climax stage (become housing developments), woodcock disappear. Before you start castigating woodcocks for their silly courtship rituals, just remember that in the history of the world no woodcock has ever called a dating service, been on a blind date, or walked up to another woodcock and said, for openers, “Can I buy you a drink?” or, more fitting for a woodcock, “Hey, can I get you a worm?” They just dance. Lots of creatures do it. So if you want to impress your significant other, head out to one of the aforementioned spots on a mild night towards dusk and listen, then watch. If the temperature is below 40 degrees, don’t bother. Cold throws a wet blanket
This little guy is on the prowl this time of year. on a woodcock’s ardor (and most humans’ as well). You’re better off building a fire. Settle in with a glass of wine. Put on some old Barry White and do some twittering of your own! If you want to get an idea of what you should be listening and looking for, head over to the Cape May Bird Observatory at 701 East Lake Drive overlooking lovely Lake Lily in Cape May Point – THE information spot for anything to do with nature. The center is open every day from 9:30am to 4:30pm. Ask any of our staff – they are always glad to help with anything you

need – even things you didn’t know you needed yet. While you are there, pick up the schedule of daily walks and a free birding map and checklist. Did you know that the CMBO offers naturalist-led field trips throughout the year; everyday in spring and fall – sometimes twice a day! And don’t forget the newest books on and about birding and nature. Pick up a bargain from the used and vintage book selection or some of the wonderful Charley Harper merchandise. Need a gift for a nature enthusiast friend or loved one but are clueless as to what they want or need? Pick up a gift card, redeemable at any of our New Jersey Audubon Centers throughout the state. If you aren’t fortunate enough to be in the area, visit www.BirdCapeMay.org, where birding is just a click away!

The Movie Column
W
Tom Sims, Director of the Cape May Film Festival, previews this season’s films
ell, it’s that time of year again — flowers are in bloom, the last bits of snow have melted and movies are in the air! There is a lot coming out of both Hollywood and indie studios right now. Let’s have a look. Win Win: Mike Flaherty (played by Paul Giamanti), is a struggling attorney who volunteers as a high school wrestling coach. He becomes the guardian of an elderly client in the last chance he may have to keep his practice alive. He continually calls it a win-win situation until the client’s teenage grandson, a runaway, shows up at his door. This indie film from Fox Searchlight received some positive responses at Sundance 2011. Cat Run: Sure, Paz Vega is gorgeous, but can she act? Two goony friends decide to open a detective agency, but their first case is to help a sexy, high-class escort (she really is gorgeous) who is hiding important evidence to a high-stakes cover up. Without a whole lot of experience, the two newbies must escape the mob, a corrupt politician, and an unyielding assassin – all of whom
Paz Vega plays a high-class escort in “Cat Run.” are determined to keep the truth hidden. You know what they say? First year in a new business is the hardest! Paul: Two geeks travel across the US to find an alien named Paul outside Area 51. He may be drawn like a typical alien, but he’s anything but typical. Hollywood’s favorite
comedic actor, Seth Rogen, is in the lead role. Early buzz seems to position this one as mediocre. More favorable reviews are gathering for Jane Eyre, the classic being revised once again. Less favorable reviews for Red Riding Hood, a Hollywood take on the Grimm Brothers’ tale, as well as Mars Needs Moms and Battle: Los Angeles. Further down the pipeline, we have Puss in Boots. It seems that Dreamworks took the advice of this column and retired Shrek, but it just needed to take one more chance on the popular franchise with this cinematic spin-off. Keeping with animation there is Cars 2 in the works for fans of the Pixar hit. Here’s your assignment, dedicated movie-lover! The next time you go to the movies, send an email to capemayfilm@ hotmail.com and let us know about your experience. We want to include your comments in an upcoming edition of “The Movie Column.” If you have more to say than just a line or two, we’ll let you take up the whole column with your review! You don’t even have to agree with us: in fact, it might be better if you don’t. See you at the movies!

The Dating Column
Stella Dixon’s take on romance on old Cape Island
I
nternational Women’s Day falls on March 8. In countries around the world, this is a time to celebrate women’s achievements and to raise awareness for women’s causes. This year, in honor of the day’s 100th anniversary, eight female friends and I went for cocktails and a lovely dinner at the Peter Shields Inn. As often happens among groups of women, even groups of women out to celebrate the strengths of other women, our conversation soon turned to men. Sometime after the fourth bottle of wine, I asked these strong, beautiful, slightly tipsy friends of mine to play a little game. I asked if they wouldn’t mind filling in this blank: “I knew he wasn’t the one when .” In between bites of hanger steak and bouts of laugher, this is what they had to say. “I knew he wasn’t the one when...” “…he turned down sex to play Xbox.” “…he said, ‘You have to clean the lint filter?’” “…he pantsed me outside his mom’s house.” “…he went shopping for me at a mater-
visiting me, sick with pneumonia.” “…he told me Sarah Palin should be president.” “…he bought me an anti-wrinkle cream.”
nity store…when I wasn’t even pregnant.” “…he said, ‘But reading is so dull.’” “…he told me that he’d like to name our child ‘Soil.’” “…he sent back his nachos at a dive bar at 3am.” “…he brought up his colon surgery over the dessert course of our first date.” “…I asked for a romantic comedy and he brought me to see Ninja Assassins.” “…he went to a sorority party instead of
It’s true that women put up with a lot (we do 66% of the world’s work and own only 1% of the world’s property), but nothing tests a woman’s patience quite like a relationship with a buffoon. Women all over the world, from Cape May to Croatia, should feel some measure of solidarity. As different as our lives and our struggles may be, we’ve all battled with boneheads. But, when the search for Mr Right feels as arduous as the fight for equality, grab a bottle of wine with your best girls and take heart. If you listen long enough, you’ll hear happier stories, too. Like this little gem: “I knew he wasn’t the one when…the man I’m now married to walked through the door.” After all, a truly romantic story is kind of like International Women’s Day itself – it may not come around quite as often as we’d like, but when it does, we’ve all got one hell of a reason to celebrate.
