Norm Goiterman exposing the truth Self proclaimed world class reporter Norm Goiterman brings you the stories that matter most to you. “Wildwood is an interesting town.” This is what I was saying to myself when I arrived here last Tuesday after a 9 year hiatus from reporting. As I walked down the boardwalk, I was reminded of a simpler, more innocent time in my life when I was a child, and my parents would bring me to the beach where we would picnic and play with inflatable toys. It was around that time that I noticed all of the beach balls at Rio Grande & the Boardwalk. In a fit of contained excitement I ran toward the ball that was closest to me with a plan to kick the ball as far as I could. What I am about to say now will most likely shock you. The beach balls at Rio Grande Avenue are not inflatable plastic balls as they appear to be... They are made of concrete. And as I found out, if you try to kick a 550 pound concrete beach ball it will do severe damage to your foot and toes. So the question now is, “Why would the city of Wildwood make these beach balls out of concrete?” I wondered to myself. “Who would benefit from this?” I decided to start at the top of the administration in Wildwood, and I didn’t have to go far before I uncovered the biggest conspiracy in the history of my journalism career. Enter Wildwood mayor Ernie Troiano. When I heard his Italian last name, I instinctively knew corruption was going to be found. Troiano appears to be a good guy on the surface. It seams like he genuinely cares about the city of Wildwood and it’s residents and business owners. However, after investigating his private life I uncovered his dirty little secret. Mayor Ernie Troiano secretly has a concrete business. Coincidence? Not very likely. I considered approaching Troiano about the issue but then decided against it since I’m almost certain that he would fit me with a pair of shoes made from the same concrete that he slings all over the island that he reigns over. We may never know all of the truth about this conspiracy but I will continue to investigate this and share my findings with you in the future.

Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really pissed. She told him “Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!” The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale. Bob has been missing since Friday.

Useless Information ANNAPOLIS
Peg and I spent a couple of days in Annapolis, Maryland with our friends Ed (Eddy Stamps) and Debbie DiDomenico (Ed’s the former Postmaster of Wildwood, now retired). Always fun with those two. Had drinks at Pusser’s Dock at the Marriott Hotel right on the canal where they used to bring in the slaves from Africa and where they auctioned them off to the highest bidder. Hard to believe that it happened on the same ground where tourists now walk around eating ice cream cones, having lunch at sidewalk cafes, etc. Alex Haley, the author of Roots, has a bronze statue that marks the spot where the slaves were auctioned off. Lots of history here. The odd thing about Annapolis is that it’s the state capital, since it really isn’t much bigger than Cape May. Very similar to Cape May in a lot of ways . . . great walking town, lots of shopping, great restaurants and bars. Peg and Debbie spend most of their time shopping, Ed and I spend most of our time figuring out how to keep Peg and Debbie out of the 100’s of specialty shops along Main Street. Main Street is a lot like the Washington Street Mall in Cape May. We intice them with cocktails and lunch at the aforementioned Pussers Restaurant which is a great place to watch the boats (huge yachts) coming and going. This weekend they are having the largest boat show in the world (as advertised) and we were facinated at how much effort it took to get these sailing yachts in place for the weekend. We always stay at a funky little place called “Chick & Ruth’s Scotlaur Inn” right on Main Street. Certainly nothing like it in Cape May. The Deli is on the ground floor and a Hotel on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The Deli offers great food and is packed most of the day with cadets, tourists and is also a place for politicians (presidents, senators, etc.) to go since it’s right down the street from the State Capital building. The rooms are plain, not many amenities, but the price is right and the best thing is that you’re right in the middle of town. We’ve been staying there for years and love it. Teddy and Chuck make it a special “can’t miss” place to go. Jay Kopp turned us onto the place years ago. He would stay there when he was into competitive sailing. Anyway, we had a great weekend, always nice to get away with Ed and Debbie. If you need a quick getaway, Annapolis is the place to go . . . and don’t miss “Chick & Ruth’s Deli”

In fact, I don’t feel anything until noon. Then it’s time for my nap.” ON GIVING UP HIS EARLY CAREER BOXING “I ruined my hands in the ring. The referee kept stepping on them.” ON NEVER WINNING AN OSCAR “Welcome to the Academy Awards or as it’s called at my home, Passover.” ON GOLF “Golf is my profession. Show business is just to pay the greens fees.” ON PRESIDENTS “I have performed for 12 presidents and entertained only six.” ON HIS SIX BROTHERS “That’s how I learned to dance - waiting for the bathroom.” ON HIS EARLY FAILURES “I would not have had anything to eat if it wasn’t for the stuff the audience threw at me.” WildwoodMag.com | 29

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour. Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, “Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I’ll buy you another drink. I just can’t stand to see a man cry.” “No, it’s not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outraged, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away.” “I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison.”
