The Police Blotter

Houston, TX: A man got into a fight with a deaf man and bit the deaf man’s ear off.

The attacker fled but was run over by a truck, breaking his leg. Police cuffed him to a wheelchair in the hospital, but, while they weren’t looking, he wheeled off into the night.

Classic Quotations Greater Cape May Historical Society

A Story From The Past Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage. H. L. Mencken I learned the way a monkey learns - by watching its parents. Prince Charles

If you had a million Shakespeares, could they write like a monkey? Steven Wright I learned the way a monkey learns - by watching its parents. Prince Charles

The 1950s and early 1960s found Cape May at one of its lowest point in history, and property owners were divided about how to turn the situation around. One faction believed that the only way Cape May would ever be able to compete with resorts like Wildwood and Atlantic City was to bulldoze the old buildings. Another group that was primarily made up of apartment and boarding house owners, felt that a hands-off approach was the way to go. – Ben Miller

Facebook Mystery Contest

Random Fact Of The Week

It does get old to have to always be a monkey in a zoo. I don’t know what it’s like any more to be anonymous. Kevin Bacon Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town. George Carlin

Monkeys are superior to men in this: when a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey. Malcolm De Chazal

Weird Word Of The Week

Douroucouli Also known as Owl Monkeys or Night Monkeys, these little creatures are common from Paraguay to northern Argentina and are easily recognized by their big, brown eyes which allow them to see easily at night.

KNOW your way around Cape May? Think of yourself as the observant type? Feast your eyes on the photograph above, prepared by our resident cryptographer Dan Mathers.

If you think you know this lodgings establishment, then you have a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to spend at a local business. Go to the Exit Zero Facebook page before Monday for a full-size, full-color photo and instructions on how to enter – follow the instructions carefully. And, don’t worry if you have never used Facebook before – it’s easy! Just ask your six-yearold nephew. To enter, look for the mystery photo at www.facebook.com/exitzeropublishing. Good luck!

The baboon is the largest monkey (remember, gorillas are not monkeys), with an adult weighing in at around 90 pounds. On the other end of the spectrum is the Pygmy Marmoset. These little guys often max out around five inches and weigh around five ounces.

Fortune Cookie Of The Week J If everybody is a worm you should be a glow worm. J Once a week, the folks at Exit Zero eat at Cape Orient, the island’s fine Asian restaurant. Sometimes we find pearls of wisdom at the end of our meal. And sometimes we don’t. The above fortune cookie was eaten with shrimp lo mein and mango 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

N

Ideas, idle gossip and occasionally important odds ’n’ ends

OTHING much happens in sleepy Cape May in the offseason. Right? Right. It’s only been just over a week since the Singer-Songwriter festival hit town, bringing with it an infusion of energy thanks to the arrival of hundreds of talented musicians from all over the country.

And now we’re only a few days away from the 35th Cape May Jazz Festival.

The festival, sponsored by Bank of America, features Kevin Eubanks, formerly of NBC’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno, headlining this Friday, April 8, with shows at 8pm and 10pm, and Grammy Nominated Latin jazz artist Poncho Sanchez following up on Saturday, with shows at 6:30pm and 8:30pm.

The two performances will take place at Our Lady Star of the Sea Auditorium. That’s the only sour note – it would have been a whole lot better if I could have ended that sentence with “at Cape May Convention Hall.” But enough of that for now. In the meantime, we will watch, and listen, as the foundations get laid for a center, even though we don’t actually know who’s building it yet.

Where was I? Oh yes, the jazz festival.

Like every other arts organization in the universe, the festival has taken a hit because of the recession, so go along and enjoy some superb jazz this weekend. If you don’t want to restrict yourself to a specific performance, the weekend jams at Carney’s and Cabanas are highly recommended. For more information, visit capemayjazz.com. And see page 38 for more details.

Speaking of big names heading into town, I’m going to switch from music to food, though as Shakespeare wrote, they have a lot in common. The Old Grange





Restaurant, on the grounds of Historic Cold Spring Village, has been taken over by famed Philadelphia chef Tony Clark, who once ran the kitchen at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philly and was once named as one of the Best Chefs in America by Food and Wine magazine.

Tony opened the restaurant this Tuesday, and since I am writing this the day before that, I can’t really tell you much about the food or the vibe, but I CAN tell you this is exciting news. A lot of people have tried to make a success of the restaurant at the Old Grange, which enjoys such a great location, but none have worked so well. Hopefully having such a master chef at the helm will make all the difference. Can’t wait to try it.

The restaurant will be open from Tuesday-Sunday, featuring a variety of Early Bird Specials from 4-6pm, and full dinner service from 6-10pm. I also hear that Tony will be using produce from an organic garden at the restaurant. Even better. “There will be more Pennsylvania license plates in Cape May this year, and his appearance is a major plus for the local restaurant community,” wrote the website Prime Philadelphia.

Good luck, Tony.

NOW, some more exciting news. You might have noticed that Cape May has a rather splendid beach. Well, seems like a LOT of people have noticed. The Travelers’ Choice 2011 Awards, organized by the ridiculously inf luential website TripAdvisor. com, has just announced its best beaches, as voted by its members (and there are millions of them). Cape May was voted as having the second best beaches in the US, which is two places higher than last year in the same awards, and number nine in the world!

I hope that the person who left his doggie’s poo on the main beach last Wednesday morning is reading this – and yes I picked it up for you, you selfish, lazy jerk.

Ahem, sorry. I do get mad when I see this. There’s no need for it and ultimately it could result in by-laws that stop responsible folks from walking their dogs on the beach, which is one of the great things to do early on a fall, winter or spring morning, or late in the afternoon, just before sunset.

Some Exit Zero subscribers have asked us to leave their issue in their mailbox, to prevent it being rained on or, heavens above, stolen. (Crime is rare in Cape May but, as we all know, bikes are stolen and so, apparently, are issues of Exit Zero, which I can’t say I’m too unhappy about – nice to know that the magazine is still such a hot commodity after all these years…)

Anyway, dear readers, we’re forbidden by federal law to put foreign objects into your mailboxes. If you have a secret spot you’d like the issue delivered, to keep it safe from weather and thieves, send me an email with the subject line SECRET SPOT, and we will take care of it.

Talk to you next week.

AMERICAN STEAK & SEAFOOD HOUSE Grande Center Shopping Mall • Rio Grande, New Jersey • 609-889-2000

Name: Doreen Campbell.

Workplace: Zoo Company.

Age: Twenty-six.

Hometown: Cape May Court House.

How long have you worked here? About a year.

Best thing about the job? The customers, especially the little kids. Their expressions and some of the things they say are just totally priceless. A little kid came in the other day and said “I’m so happy in here I could just die!”

What do you recommend here? I’m a big Hello Kitty fan. And I just love all the monkeys we have – the new Sugar Plum Cheeky Monkey Webkin is my current favorite.

What’s your OTHER dream job? I’m very much into photography, and I loved public speaking class when I was in school. Maybe something in the entertainment business?

Favorite thing about Cape May? The town itself – it’s just so beautiful and it’s just such a great vacation spot.

Chance Meetings

I

Everett Chance wines and dines Cape May’s single ladies

t’s all about priorities. Knowing what’s important. Putting first things first. My first date for this column made that clear. Eileen (not her real name) and I met over dinner at Tisha’s, on the mall in Cape May. The restaurant is a lovely little BYOB, not so tiny as to be cute, not so big as to be noisy, and definitely in the upper reaches of the price stratosphere.

Start to finish, everything was delicious.

My mushroom risotto appetizer was a work of edible art, and Eileen’s oysters hit the spot. For entrees, she had the shrimp special, which was a bit spicy but very enjoyable. I went with the pork gruyere -- can’t resist mashed potatoes! -- which was good, but a bit heavy with brown gravy.

Desserts were classic: a big slice of apple pie with ice cream for her, creme brulee for me, tasty on all accounts.

I like a restaurant that doesn’t dabble in small food. The meal should fill up the plate and my stomach. Tisha’s delivers on both counts. And for service, our waitress Stephanie was just about perfect. For a

dinner date where your priority is making a woman feel special, Tisha’s should be high on the list.

Priorities matter, especially in a relationship. I’ve dated women who’ve prioritized me behind work, school, pets, healthy friends, sick friends, houses, and even horses. Hey, I understand if I’m not #1, and that’s OK. But not even in the top 10?

That’s not going to work in the long term.

Being in a relationship means prioritizing

the other person.

And that’s why Eileen concerns me.

She’s a perfectly nice woman: smart, funny, decent looking, holding down a good job.

That last one is the problem. I’d been told she was a workaholic, and Eileen confirmed it, saying that she’d just taken her first day off since Christmas. Uh-oh! As our conversation turned to hobbies, well, she didn’t have any. She’s working seven days a week. No time for anything else. Danger, Will Rogers!

If work comes first all the time, where am I going to fit in? Can I plan a second date for three months from now when she takes another day off? It really doesn’t seem like I’ve got much hope of moving to the top of the priority list.

Want to be my priority over dinner?

Send an e-mail to info@exitzero.us, I’ll be in touch, and we’ll go to dinner at one of the Cape’s fine eating establishments.

Afterwards I’ll write all about it, a combined date and restaurant review. (Your name will be changed, the restaurant’s won’t.) Maybe we can be at the top of each other’s lists.

The Exit Zero Random Gift Certificate Giveaway

You could win a $50 gift certificate to an advertiser just by being in Cape May!

«

Every week our photographer Danielle O’Neal roams the streets of Cape May on a mission... to give away a $50 gift certificate to spend at a local business. But it’s not quite THAT easy – first, the lucky recipient has to answer three questions related to our issue theme, which this week is all about monkeys.

This week’s winner is Brittany Conrad, 21, an EMT from North Cape May. Here are her answers: What video game had a big gorilla chucking barrels at Mario? Donkey Kong What is your favorite kind of monkey?

Chimp [Editor’s note: Chimpanzee’s are not actually monkeys.]

What was the name of the orangutan that starred opposite Clint Eastwood? I have no idea. [Answer: Clyde] Brittany wins a $50 gift certificate to The Whale’s Tale for answering our questions. Congratulations and enjoy!

The Old Fogey

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

I

had a monkey butler once: he tried to poison me and steal my estates.

The nefarious ape in question was a Capuchin, touted as “nature’s butlers” though since they are scarce as tall as a chap’s knee-britches, they are limited in the items they can carry. This may not be a bad thing, as in the aftermath of the poisoning incident, I discovered a loaded Colt 45 pistol that had been dragged from the gun case in the third bathroom of the D’Catur Mansion’s West Wing (I keep armaments in all rooms that would, I know from long experience, be ideal ambush points. A chap who has not a blade or firearm to hand whilst passing his water deserves all that happens to him, in my opinion).

Clearly the monkey – who went by the name of Lautrec – had attempted to assassinate me by this means, but lacked the muscle to lift the gun. As it was, he scrambled up to the attic and rif led through the unpacked cases from my 1903 Expedition to The Dark Continent, and retrieved a blowgun and a curare-tipped dart. That

evening, as I stretched to perform the range of exercises taught to me by no less than Ghandi, the damnable Lautrec fired the dart into my derriere. Well, only two things saved my life: one, my buttocks being so muscled as to prevent the dart from sinking too deep; and two, my habit of ingesting tiny amounts of the most common poisons in use at any time, so as to build up immunity in case of just this very event (though I confess I usually expect assassins to be black-clad ninjas, soft-footed Thugees or

muscled eunuchs come to strangle me with a knotted silk cord, not a tiny ape firing a blowgun at my rear end.)

Before I slumped to the f loor in a shortlived faint, I plucked the dart out and threw it backhanded at the f leeing Lautrec, who, weighing no more than five pounds, fell down instantly.

He was not dead, and I am not a cruel man, and so I took Lautrec to the secret “High Security Institute for Felonious Simians” in Philly. I used to visit him once a month to wag an admonitory finger at him through the thick glass, and mime blowgun-puffing movements to remind him of his crime, and its failure. He would f ly into a rage and try and attack me, using a variety of implements made from the contents of his pen: a sharpened banana, a knotted vine leaf with a pebble in the end and an enticement to play cat’s cradle, knowing he has cruel little fingers and sharp nails.

From that day on, I swore I would not tolerate an ape in the house, unless it is, of course, stuffed.

Customer Service

I

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

used to be a person slow to anger.

The first time someone tailgated me, I assumed they wanted a better look at my ‘make love, not war’ bumper sticker and happily went on my way.

And, at the grocery market, if someone cut the line in front of me, I simply grabbed a trashy magazine and let it go.

Now, as an adult woman who’s moved back in with her parents, I need this patience more than ever. At the age of twenty-five, I’m continually peppered with questions like: “Are you wearing your seatbelt, Molly?” and “Are you getting enough sleep, Molly?” and “Why do you park your car that way, Molly?”

Today, while I was busy trying to write an article, my father followed me around the house asking if I could see his crack.

(He’d just finished plastering an unsightly crack in the living room ceiling which, ten pages into my paper, I couldn’t have cared less about.) I know that I should be grateful for the rent-free space to live, and I know that my parents mean well, but I find myself snapping more than I should.

I blame waiting tables for my diminished patience. People who come to the restaurant for dinner are distressingly quick to anger, and this lack of tolerance, I’m convinced, is contagious.

I once had a guest tell me I was “not nice” because it took me a while to bring his bread. Calling me “not speedy,” I could have understood. Calling me “not terribly concerned with sour dough” and I would have agreed. But calling me “not nice” was just plain harsh.

The same night, a couple told me they’d never be back because I’d accidentally overcharged them six dollars. “I’m very sorry,” I told them.

Not Your Everyday Hallmark Shop!

Full Line of Seaside Souvenirs, Gifts & Cards New spring items arriving daily!

Warm up with Bean Pod Soy Candles & Himalayan Salt Lamps

“Too little, too late,” they said.

And then there was the woman who followed me into the kitchen so that she might wag a chubby finger in my face for never having offered her a coffee. Such behavior makes me wish I would have suggested a chill pill.

Being around such high strung individuals night after night has made me into a high-strung individual myself. The last time someone honked at me, I unleashed a string of obscenities before realizing it had come from an old friend just trying to grab my attention. And at the grocery market, I consider boxing out the little old lady in aisle three if she so much as thinks about cutting the line.

The thing is, I really want my patience back. I miss being the easy-going girl who’s not so easily ruff led. In fact, I think we could all stand to be a bit more tolerant.

So please, dear guests, try not to verbally abuse me over a loaf of pumpernickel or a cup of coffee, and I’ll do my best to find my patience. My folks, I know, will really appreciate it.

Monkey Mints From Just For Laughs

Mini-Verdi The Monkey From Happy Baby

Monkey Farts From A Place On Earth

So maybe monkeys aren’t known for their outstanding oral hygiene, which is why we were so pleasantly surprised by these tasty Monkey Mints, in the primate-approved flavors of Banana and Coconut. Pop one in your mouth and go kiss your favorite chimp. Try them both for that….uh, monkey-fresh breath. $3.95. 504 Washington Street, 609-884-5466

This fellow is as soft and squishy as he is bright and vibrant. Like all blabla products, he is hand-knit in Peru and is utterly irresistible.

He sells for $36. 106 Jackson Street, 609-5922.

Any name that ends with the word “farts” may sound a little off-putting, but the folks at A Place On Earth know their fragrances – banana, coconut and lime make this one sublime. Check this adorable toothbrush holder and tote, too! Monkey Farts soap, $6.50; body spray, $13; bath bomb, $4. 526 Washington Street Mall, 609-898-0039. www. aplaceonearth.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’m on a major diet to get ready for swimsuit weather, and all my friends and family know this. But they still bring fatty junk foods around when they KNOW I’m dieting. My coworkers are the worst offenders, bringing donuts and candy to the office. What do I say to them? – Trying Dear Trying You could certainly suggest to your coworkers that they limit their offerings to fruit salad in deference to your dietary whims, but the Answer Lady doesn’t believe this tactic will get you nominated for Exit Zero’s Employee of the Week. It would be nice if the world would bend to our every inclination; if it did, bars and restaurants in the Answer Lady’s world would serve only Beck’s Non-Alcoholic beer and club soda. Alas, it is not to be.

Wise answers to perplexing questions

Plus, if coworkers were obligatory all the time, we’d have nothing to bitch about behind their backs, now would we? The best defense is always a good offense – arm yourself with your own healthy snacks so you won’t be tempted by their debauchery.

Answer any attempts to coerce you with a simple “thanks, I’ve got my own,” or, “I see your Avalon Coffee muffin, and I raise you a banana!”

And kudos to you, by the way, for taking control of your diet.

Dear Answer Lady I’ve got a friend who eats whatever she wants and never gains an ounce. My weight is a yo-yo, and I’m starting to resent hanging around her, especially when we go out to eat. How do I get a grip? I know I’m being unreasonable. – Jealous?

Dear Jealous The Answer Lady understands. She has a friend who is so beautiful that the Answer Lady could easily stroll down the street stark naked (and possibly on fire) next to her, and people still would not notice the Answer Lady. Annoying, but what can you do? The world is full of all kinds of people, and we are not all tanned, blond, blue-eyed amazons (like the Answer Lady’s friend). How boring it would be, and quite dangerous, what with all the driving onto sidewalks going on. By the way, the Answer Lady is one of those people who can eat whatever she wants, PROVIDED she exercises (especially since she has stopped drinking beer all the live-long day). Maybe it’s not what you’re eating, it’s how much you’re moving.

Activity Of The Week

S

A weekly column by Catherine Dugan. This week: Ah, the spa!

pring is here, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. Now is your chance to undo all the damage winter has done to your shivering body. Time to get those dry hands out from under your mittens, and to soothe the shovel-induced crick in your back. It’s time to put your best face – and hand – and foot... forward. Conveniently, salons and spas in Cape May are ready to indulge you.

Spa treatments are nothing new. Julius Caesar was treated to a daily massage for his health, and Hippocrates – he of the oath – advised that the “physician must be experienced in many things, but most assuredly in rubbing.” Evidence of nail care dates back to 3000 BC, when the Chinese used a nail color that took several hours to dry, and in India, a henna-based dye was used. The Incas decorated their nails with eagles, and in Egypt, nail color denoted social class – the deeper the red, the higher the standing.

By the 19th century, nail care and massage were part of the healing duties of the American housewife. Cookbooks included recipes for “nail paint,” but most women

merely polished their nails to make them shiny, and whitened the tips. Vaseline, first marketed in 1870, soothed everything from chapped lips to diaper rash. Entrepreneurs like Madame CJ Walker helped to professionalize the beauty industry. Having made her fortune through hair, nail and skin products, Walker established schools where technicians were trained. By the turn of the 20th century, beauty was a respectable profession for women – although most still

worked alongside male barbers, and most customers were men.

Manicurists trimmed and shaped the nails and cuticles. Borax and bleach were part of their tool kit. Care of the feet was crucial, as customers were advised that sore feet caused premature graying of the hair. Massage was also essential, as pain in the body would reveal itself on the face, in the form of wrinkles. Of course, for facial massage, the hands were too primitive – only a modern massaging machine would do.

Today, men and women can be pampered with a variety of treatments. Visit Shear Sunsations for a manicure worth taking your gloves off for. Artizan can trim the winter right our of your hair. The Sea Spa offers the “Long Weekend,” a calming facial, and Accent on Beauty has the LED facial - regular treatments reduce the skin damage caused by winter wind. Or call Nicole Giorgio for a masssage to soothe your aching back. Cape May Day Spa promises the perfect escape – haven’t you earned it?

arch came in like a lion with bitter cold and winds sweeping through the historic streets of Cape May. T.S. Eliot called April “the cruelest month,” but we see it as the harbinger of warmth and laughter as Cape May Stage prepares for our twenty-third season and an especially vibrant Second Stage Series on Monday nights. Chris and Dave Clemans continue to sponsor the wildly popular Second Stage Series that brings a cornucopia of programming from stand-up comics, to cabaret singers, to modern dance.

Often the Second Stage Series presents acts that inform the main-stage show. We have brought documentary films that examine the life of a real person when that person exists as a fictional character in a play. We have brought new works that compliment the subject or theme of the main-stage show.

We were begged to bring back the wildly popular Say Goodnight, Gracie. People claimed they could not get tickets last time or were hoping to see it again. We relented.

Joel Rooks returns to Cape May in his triumphant performance of George Burns. Not only is this a poignant love story, it is filled with the hilarious acts of Gracie Allen and George Burns. It is also the story of immigration and trying to make it in show business.

Our Second Stage brings My Son, The Waiter - A Jewish Tragedy as a modern day version of George Burns. Brad Zimmerman has opened for Joan Rivers and his stand up act is truly hilarious. There will be all sorts of comedy evenings to compliment this show.

Top: Broadway’s Joel Rooks returns to Cape May Stage on May 12 to reprise his role as the unforgettable George Burns in the latest production of “Say Goodnight, Gracie.”

Below: Brad Zimmerman brings his hilarious one-man show, “My Son, The Waiter – A Jewish Tragedy,” to Cape May audiences as the first Second Stage production of the season.

We also have big names from the world of Broadway like Liz Calloway, Tovah Feldshuh, Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker. Our very special treat is Ron Raines performing Broadway legends with Don Poppin – the Tony Award-winning musical director of just about every musical you can think of in the last forty years. Yes, he goes back to the original Oliver.

The best way to keep up to date is by joining our facebook page, following us on twitter, signing up for our e-blasts and bookmarking capemaystage.com as one of your favorites. Of course, you can always find out about us in Exit Zero or call 884-1341.

We welcome back our loyal supporters and look forward to seeing new faces as we continue to grow. You can feel the excitement that is just around the corner. Come join the party at Cape May Stage.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal

Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 465-8923

«

Jenny is a gorgeous 1 year old German Shepherd who is friendly, obedient, knows basic commands and has had some training. She’s sweet, but can be nervous and doesn’t like other animals, so must go to a home where she’ll be the only pet. She is playful and will need some training, exercise and stimulation. If you can offer Jenny what’s needed, come check her out. She’s well worth it! Adoption fee is $95.

«

Sporty is a handsome 1-1/2 year old boy who needs lots of exercise and stimulation. He’s lovable, easily trainable and knows basic commands but needs reminders about manners, as he plays a little rough. He should go to a home with no cats or small dogs and with children are over age 10. He’s okay with larger dogs. If you want a faithful, trainable companion, stop by and meet Sporty today. Adoption fee is $95.

«

O’Malley is a very cool-looking 2 year old English Pointer who is enthusiastic and playful. He knows basic commands but needs a home where he will get lots of stimulation and exercise. Due to his exuberance it is recommended that he go to a home with children over 10 years. He is a good boy who just needs a firm hand and guidance. If you can offer training and exercise, meet him today! Adoption fee is $95.

Riddles is a “Barn Buddy” cat, meaning he would not adapt to living indoors, but would do well outside. Are pesky little critters running amok in your warehouse or barn?? Your Barn Buddy will arrive neutered, vaccinated, and ear-tipped for identification. Contact the Cape May County Animal Shelter at 465-8923.

«

Noel is a friendly female tabby who loves to be held and petted. She has an inoperable hernia, which doesn’t cause her any pain or require special care, but presents as a lump on her right side. The vet doesn’t expect future problems, but because of the hernia, Noel is considered a “special needs” cat. Adoption fee is $8.

«

Gabby looks as if she’s had a close call, but it hasn’t affected her sweet temperament. Her left ear is torn, but it’s an old injury,and causes no pain. With her glossy black coat and four white boots, she’s lovely, but sometimes has a mind of her own when it comes to being petted. See Gabby for yourself. Adoption fee is $35.

Bird Droppings

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

Y

ou’ve probably wondered about them, the ones who lead all those CMBO field trips.

Where does all this talent come from? Why are they so eager to share it with... well, the likes of you?

You show up at a field trip site (the ones you’ll find systematically laid out in the Kestrel Express newsletter, one free to everyone who walks in CMBO’s door) or viewable online. They are already there, waiting for you.

Eager to answer your questions.

Wanting to know whether you need to borrow binoculars. Brimming with lots of cool information about lots of neat birds.

Including, and maybe particularly, the one that they’ve got their spotting scopes trained on right at that very moment.

Could be a perched Tree Swallow.

Could be a perched Bald Eagle. Could be any one of 350 or so species that regularly occur in Cape May. They know them all. Right down to the last grebe, nightjar, vireo and phalarope.

What’s a phalarope? It is a real designer

shorebird that spins like a top.

Those Associate Naturalists can even tell you why.

So who are they?

Just ordinary Cape May residents like any number of other residents. Almost all of them live in Cape May. There are one or two outliers but most call Cape May home.

Most are retired. Most are up hours

before those 7:30am bird walks and all of them are absolutely passionate about watching birds.

About as passionate as they are about showing birds to Cape May residents and visitors.

It’s one of the great things about birding. Birds can be shared. If you are fishing, well, only one person can catch the fish.

Everyone else watches. If you are surfing and you are in position to catch a good wave, everyone else just watches.

But in birding, everybody gets to share in the booty.

One American Bittern (a big, vaseshaped bird dressed like a freshwater marsh). Twenty binoculars and twenty sets of eyes drinking it in.

Nobody comes in second. Everybody gets a first place face full of WOW. Search the world over. You’ll never find anything better than WOW. Now here’s the best thing. The reason why all those CMBO Associate Naturalists

Bird Droppings ? From Page 85

There are so many reasons to take up birding... the majestic American Bittern is just one of them. you too. Tell them Seymore sent you. It may not get you the member price for the walk (unless you are a CMBO member), but it will probably get a chuckle.

Am I a CMBO Associate Naturalist?

Nah. I’ve got to work. Plan to be someday, though. Soon as I retire and prove I can make the grade.

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.

TUNE IN.

are Associate Naturalists. WOW is infectious. Not only that, it’s a multiplier. If you discover a perched Merlin on the beach, you enjoy a burst of WOW. If you put your spotting scope on it and let other people have an in-your-face look at one of these feisty falcons, you earn an extra heaping helping of WOW. Compounded WOW! It’s why people become leaders in the first place. It’s why leaders who lead in Cape May are about the most WOW rich people on the planet.

Lots of birds. WOW. Lots of birders who want to take advantage of their skills.

WOW Lots... of people want to become CMBO Field Trip leaders but, well, it’s not for everyone. But it is everyone else who benefits. Everyone who comes on a CMBO walk, anyway.

So why not show up on a CMBO morning bird walk yourself. Pick up a Kestrel Express at the Northwood Center on East Lake Drive, Cape May Point (second left off Lighthouse). Now, pick a morning that works for you. And just like Woody Allen said “just show up.”

There’s lots of WOW to go around. And plenty of skilled leaders who can show it to

While you are there, pick up the schedule of daily walks, a free birding map and checklist so you’re ready to start using those new binoculars.

Did you know that 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 what they want or need? Pick up a gift card, redeemable at any of our New Jersey Audubon Centers throughout the state.

And if you aren’t fortunate enough to be in the area, visit www.BirdCapeMay.org where birding is just 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. Pete uses his talents and energy to make the natural world real for others. Author of several books on and about nature (available at CMBO) he weaves information, insight and even fantasy into a net that captures minds and hearts. He has written for virtually every birding publication and for The New York Times.

The Movie Column

W

Tom Sims, Director of the Cape May Film Festival, reviews “The Lincoln Lawyer”

hat can you say about Matthew McConaughey?

He’s been around a long time, but his films thus far have been about surfer dudes (seriously, a 2008 film was called Surfer, Dude), adventurers (as in the 2005 film Sahara or the 2008 blunder Fool’s Gold), or a seemingly endless string of garden variety fluffy romance comedies (really – a ton of those, like 2006’s Failure to Launch or 2003’s How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days). It was in fact 2003 since I last saw him in a movie because everything that he’s been in since then has not been my taste. Whose taste do they appeal to? I’m not sure, but I am certain that somebody reading this will say, “Who is this guy (meaning me) to bust on my Matthew? What a hunk he is (meaning that guy – certainly not me)!”

Then there comes The Lincoln Lawyer.

In this film, McConaughey plays a defense attorney who loves the work of getting the scum of the earth out of sticky legal situations.

He makes his office in the back of a dated Lincoln Continental, where he has a driver escorting him around after a DUI incident a

McConaughey in "The Lincoln Lawyer" number of months back. So I love the premise, which shows great promise. But Matthew McConaughey? Do you mean you’re really going to get me into a theater where a Matthew McConaughey film is playing?

As if the premise wasn’t enough to lure me in, the film stars Marisa Tomei. Heck, I

don’t even have to like a movie to enjoy Marisa in it. Look at last year’s Cyrus? What an odd, too-odd-to-like, movie. But did I like her in it? Well… And I’ve always like William H. Macy, whose characters are convincing and his delivery, although in the same vein, flows differently every time. He cleans up well, and he gets grungy well too.

The Lincoln Lawyer delivers. And I’m not just saying that because I like legal thrillers (and let’s not kid ourselves, that’s all this is), but this does not sacrifice story for stereotype – and McConaughey (here it is, he’s going to say it) pulls off his character’s tormented and trapped nature beautifully. Wow! Have things changed for McConaughey? Will I rush to see his next movie? I guess time will tell.

And let me end with an apology. To Val Kilmer. It would seem that some comments I made in my last column about the “once-trim” actor were taken as an insult. I never want to seem holier-than-thou (holier than Val?), so I will say I’m in no position (or “shape” if you will) to be throwing stones at Val Kilmer.

Along with many of the world’s people, I’m inclined to believe that good begets good, and bad begets bad. Recently, I’ve been given heaps of reasons to believe that karma is alive and well – at least when it comes to dating.

George, a classmate of mine, recently asked me to dinner. I met him at his apartment, where he asked if I wouldn’t mind editing a paper of his before leaving for the restaurant. When I finished reworking George’s transitions, and not a moment before, he backed out of our dinner plans. I was irritated until, in class the following week, I overheard George telling our professor that his hard drive had crashed, taking his paper along with it.

Of course, I can’t be too upset when things like this happen; I’ve pulled my own share of dirty dating deeds. Plenty of my most shameful dating moments have come back to bite me, and rightfully so. I once bailed on a date with a guy because I thought he was too geeky. I

told him that I wasn’t feeling well, and the very next day I came down with a flu so wicked, I was laid up for a week. And now, this very geeky-looking guy – who’s lost thirty pounds, ditched his glasses, and landed my dream job – isn’t looking quite so geeky anymore.

Friends of mine have had similar experiences. One asked an ex of his if she wouldn’t mind writing a letter recommending him as a candidate for the Florida State bar exam.

“If you wanted me to vouch for your integ-

rity,” she told him, “you probably shouldn’t have broken up with me over the phone.” Of course, after letting him sweat it out for a while, Pete’s ex wrote the letter after all; she was probably afraid that her own dating karma would suffer otherwise.

Sometimes I wonder if the number of bad dates I’ve been on isn’t directly proportional to the amount of feelings I’ve hurt over the course of my dating career. I think back to the times I’ve been callous with the hearts of different Cape May men, and I grow nervous that the Hindus could be right about reincarnation.

For faking illness to ditch a guy, I might come back as a worm in my next life, and then I’ll have no chance of finding love.

Then again, all of the karmically correct coincidences I’ve described could be just that – purely coincidental. I’ve seen plenty of bad things happen to good people, and plenty of good things happen to bad people. But I’d rather believe in the power of a person’s dating juju and be wrong, then choose not to believe in this power and be wrong. After all, when it comes to karma, one thing’s for sure – if she does exist, she is most definitely a bitch.
