Talk Of The TownRamblings, idle gossip, and occasionally important odds ’n’ ends
The Convention Hall StormIN THE immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, people here felt lucky that one of the worst storms to ever batter the east coast had left this island pretty much unharmed. It’s only been in the last week that the taxpay-ers of this city have realized just HOW lucky they were… given that the $11 million shin-ing jewel on the promenade called Cape May Convention Hall hasn’t had flood insurance since it hosted its first event, on May 25.
This puts into even sharper focus the rather modest sand barrier that appeared on Cape May’s beach, behind Convention Hall, a couple days before Sandy was due to hit, along with the two dozen sandbags piled at the building’s two rear doorways. At the time, it looked like a token, almost farcical attempt at fending off such a feared storm. Now, knowing that the city would have had to pay for every dollar of damage sustained by flood-ing if Sandy had hit Cape May square on (as was once forecast), well, words fail us about how feeble an attempt that was to ward off what could have been a financial catastrophe.
So we know that the city does not have flood insurance, nearly six months after the building opened (for those keeping count). HOW do we know that? Only because a resi-dent called Charlie Hendricks received a tip-off from a friend in the wake of the storm. Charlie then emailed City Manager Bruce MacLeod, on Friday, November 2, asking if it was true that the city’s most prized asset was indeed lacking in flood insurance. Hendricks asked for a response by the following Monday, but he heard nothing, which isn’t a surprise. MacLeod often ignores emails from us, too, especially when the subject is a pointed ques- Continued On Page 14 ?
tion about city business.But Hendricks got his chance to ask the
question in person, at a city council meet-ing on Wednesday, November 7. “I cannot answer in the affirmative,” was how MacLeod responded. And there you have it, folks, a little indicator of what it is like to deal with Cape May’s City Manager, a fellow who has a deep aversion to straight talking, a man who gets so tied up in bureaucratic claptrap that by the time he’s finished talking, both he and the questioner have a hard time remembering what the question actually was.
The meeting got a little heated after that, with two more residents (Kevin Soler and Hendricks’ wife, Patricia) losing their patience with both MacLeod and Mayor Ed Mahaney, who said that he had not been aware of the lack of flood insurance until October 29, the day Sandy wrecked much of the Jersey Shore.
Much as we would love to give Mayor Mahaney the benefit of the doubt, we find it close to impossible to believe him, for two reasons. One: Based on past experience, we don’t regard him as an especially honest man (and judging by last week’s election result, at least half of Cape May’s electorate agrees with us). Two: He is so hands-on, particu-larly with regard to Convention Hall business, that it is unfathomable to imagine that he had no clue the property was so exposed. In fact, Mahaney is such a control freak that the man the city hired to run Convention Hall, Mike Whipple, threatened to quit his job on a couple occasions because he was tired of the constant meddling from the mayor and finally DID leave his job a few weeks back, though the news of that, along with the flood insur-ance debacle, was kept quiet in the runup to
the November 6 election.Macleod told the council meeting that
the city had decided to apply for flood insur-ance in July (no mention as to why they didn’t lock this up before the building even opened), but that FEMA had so far refused to approve their application, though he didn’t say why, and Mayor Mahaney added that he expected approval would be granted promptly.
There has been conjecture around town that the reason the city’s application has not been approved is because Convention Hall’s pilings were set too low and that the building does not meet the strict FEMA requirements for a beachfront property. We say “conjecture” because getting the real story from City Hall is never straightforward and, in the absence of clear communication, the inevitable byprod-uct is conjecture.
Exit Zero goes to press on a Monday, which fell on a public holiday this week, so there was no one at City Hall to comment. However, we did speak to the Convention Hall archi-tect, Martin Kimmel, of Philadelphia firm Kimmel-Bogrette. His answer only added to the confusion. Kimmel said, “I’m now aware that there was an error in the way the applica-tion [to FEMA] was submitted. The building does, in fact, meet requirements.” He believes that the application, which was filed on behalf of the city by its civil engineering company, Fralinger, wrongly stated that the building’s floor level was around 9.5 feet, which would have put it well below the minimum require-ment for a building on the beachfront. But Kimmel says that number refers to the eleva-tion of a concrete utility pit, which lies below the actual floor of Convention Hall, which is,
Page 14 Thursday, November 15, 2012
he says, more than 15 feet above sea level. He said that when the city contacted FEMA to inform them about the mistake, they were told it would not be a problem.
“I hope this is a tempest in a teapot,” he said, adding that he first heard there was a problem from the city just after Hurricane Sandy hit, and that it had been figured out “within 24 hours”.
We were confused by his response. If it was, as it appears, a simple case of the engi-neer writing down the wrong floor elevation in a FEMA application, then why were Bruce MacLeod and Mayor Mahaney so flustered by this issue at the council meeting last week? Why didn’t they offer the same explanation as Martin Kimmel?
“That’s a good question,” said Kimmel. “I don’t know the answer to that.”
A special city meeting was being held on Wednesday of this week (November 7), to discuss the issue, so you will be hearing more about this story.
In the meantime, if you happen to be one of the absentee voters who hasn’t yet cast a vote in the Cape May mayoral election, you still have until November 18 to do so. Last time we checked, Mayor Mahaney was ahead
of challenger Rusty Chew by 11 votes. We are disappointed that half the elector-
ate still consider Mayor Mahaney fit for office. Consider this… he regarded the completion of Convention Hall as the defining achievement of his reign, yet here are the issues facing it…
1. A couple years ago, the city paid $54,000 to Mahaney’s alma mater, Temple University, for a Convention Hall business plan that still hasn’t materialized, despite regular prodding from the Taxpayers’ Association of Cape May.
2. Ask any concert or marketing expert (we asked a few) and they will likely tell you that the building is lacking in facilities. “It has no breakout rooms, which are essential for business conferences, the bathrooms are woefully underbuilt, and the kitchen is a joke,” said one local marketing professional. “As a venue, it’s just four walls — it comes with no sound or lighting system. They’re going to have a tough time putting on concerts there,” said a promoter.
3. The building has been operating with-out a marketing director since the departure of Mike Whipple, and has no dedicated website or any meaningful presence on the city’s own website, which still ranks as one of the poorest municipal sites we have ever seen.
4. As we previously reported, the build-ing has been operating with only a temporary Certificate of Occupancy since it opened, and
at one stage appears to have even been with-out THAT for a couple days.
5. The small matter of flood insurance.Now, if Cape May was following the
proper form of government, the failures above could not be blamed on a mayor, since the City Manager is supposed to be the CEO of this city, but as we have outlined regularly (okay, exhaustively) in this column over the last few years, Mayor Mahaney has been defying the Faulkner Act and running the city, with MacLeod, in effect, answering to him.
If it turns out that the lack of insurance really IS down to a simple (if inexcusable) mistake by the city’s engineering company, then we can (once again) appreciate how lucky we got on the night of October 29, but in the meantime, there should be consequences. How the building was allowed to open with-out flood insurance, and why it is still oper-ating without a permanent Certificate of Occupancy points to a major failure in the administration of this city. Is it entirely Bruce MacLeod’s fault? Should he be reprimanded, or even removed from office, for allowing the city’s taxpayers to be put in such a perilous position and for overseeing a project which has been beset with so many problems?
We don’t know, but what we DO know is that the city invites some of these problems by its aversion to clear and honest communica-tion. Mahaney and MacLeod seem constantly on the defensive, obfuscating the issues and sometimes deliberately misleading the pub-lic. The end result is that a great number of the city’s taxpayers have lost faith in them.
We realize this plea might fall on deaf ears, but we urge the administration to try and advocate a policy of ACTUAL transparency. It’s amazing how refreshing that can be. Start telling the truth to the people who pay your salaries and who keep the city running — the taxpayers. We have a feeling that Mayor Mah-aney’s administration is going to be under a great deal of scrutiny from the public, and from those of us in the media who believe in holding those in office accountable. Watch this space.
Our Local HeroesWE heard from a friend in Brooklyn this week who has been out of power for 13 DAYS fol-lowing Hurricane Sandy. We know of others, a little closer to home in Seaside Heights, who haven’t been allowed access to their island since Sandy hit shore on October 29. On a recent drive up the Parkway, we witnessed hordes of people lined up on foot at gas sta-tions just north of Toms River, where pet-

rol has been rationed. If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it countless times — we got lucky, and boy is Cape May grateful. So grateful, the town’s citizens have been working hard off to organize relief efforts, including Cape May Donates, spearheaded by local Courtney Poole, who stopped by on Sunday to give us an update.
“It’s been miraculous,” said Courtney, who has been working the phones until about midnight daily since November 1, in order to determine how to best distribute donations. “I started calling around to emergency man-agement offices in areas that were hit hardest, like Bay Head and Lavallette,” she said. “But they were so damaged, a lot of these offices weren’t even able to respond. It was mayhem. Eventually, we reached out to police depart-ments and town halls in order to find out where the central hubs were, and we discov-ered one in Toms River and one in Belmar.”
After establishing drop-off points at Vil-las Liquor Store, the Cape May and West Cape May fire halls, and Whale’s Tale, Courtney reached out to the community, asking for donations of clothes, nonperishable foods, and personal hygiene items that would be
taken north, thanks largely to the generosity of Seashore Food Distributors, the Lobster House, Lower Township municipality and a number of individuals – including Michael Eck of Cape May Fire Department, who spent his vacation volunteering — who offered up their trucks for transport.
When these northern towns became overwhelmed with donations and their resi-dents began relocating to hotels in Wildwood, Cape May Donates redirected efforts here. On Saturday, supplies were brought to Cape May fire house by “hundreds of people” and sorted by approximately 60 volunteers. “Fire Chief Jerry Inderweis ran such a great day,” Court-ney said. “Everyone’s attitudes were amazing.” People came from Delaware and Pennsylva-nia to lend a hand; Cape May Beach Patrol Lieutenant Harry Back, who lives in Bing-hampton, New York, drove to Cape May to support the efforts. Now, the huge amount of donations collected are being organized at the Tomwar Hangar at Cape May County Airport.
And there is a LOT of stuff there. Accord-ing to Lesley Finneran, Courtney’s partner in the relief effort and a manager at Whale’s Tale, cash donations are probably the best way to go from here on out. “That should be the shift,” she told us. “Each person is only in need of one new toothbrush, for example, and I don’t
know how many thousands we’ve received, so this is no longer the most articulate way of helping. We’re actually tripping over stuff at the Whale’s Tale.” Lesley recommends mak-ing a donation to a reputable outlet, including Habitat for Humanity, The Human Society, the Red Cross, and the Salvation Army. You can bring your offering to the Whale’s Tale, which will match the total, up to $5,000.
“There were a lot of people who acted independently and did things to help,” said Lesley. “It’s been inspiring.” There’s too many of these selfless volunteers to name here, but we will single out Jennifer and Paul Negro of Tisha’s restaurant who, along with their staff, reached out to some of their purveyors in order to provide meals for the folks who’ve relocated to Wildwood. Jennifer told us, “Kelly’s Products in Cape May Court House donated the to-go containers, West Side Mar-ket donated pasta, Acme donated the bags we put them in, and Tony’s Produce provided the fruit. Paul made chicken escarole soup and pasta bolognese, and we included water and fruit and silverware. It’s been an eye-opening experience, to see just how lucky we really were. The people who’ve been affected, that’s the demographic who come to visit Cape May,

the people who help us live. And now, we can help them out, too.”
Then there’s Debbie Gallagher, manager of Henry’s Landmark Jeweler on the mall. She was in Ocean City to witness storm victims carrying “every stick of furniture” from their damaged homes. “The face of one woman in particular is burned into my brain,” she told us. “My heart was breaking.” Debbie came up with the idea to donate 10 percent of every purchase made at Henry’s to the Atlantic City Food Bank and Emergency Relief Fund for at least 30 days. Other local businesses – Whale’s Tale, Island Grill, Great White Shark, Swain’s, The Guardian, Maryanne’s Jewelry, Marlene’s Gifts, Madame’s Port, the Ugly Mug, Good Scents, Cape May on Canvas, Love the Cook, Cape Atlantic Books, White, Cape May Fish Market, Across the Way, Elizabeth Arden — are following in Henry’s footsteps. “Maybe people won’t feel so weird about spending their money after such a ter-rible thing if they know it’s going to help out those who need it,” Debbie said.
People can also feel better about booking hotel reservations, thanks to Cape Resorts Group, which has created the For Jersey, For
Shore program because “it could have been us, too,” said joint managing partner Curtis Bashaw. For the month of November, CRG will donate 4% of the value of all hotel reser-vations made for 2012 and 2013 to Governor Chris Christie’s Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund.
Finally, see page 47 for the details of a ben-efit this Saturday at Convention Hall.
Jazzing Up The Town“ARTISTICALLY amazing” is how Michael Kline summed up last weekend’s inaugu-ral Exit 0 International Jazz Festival, which he produced. “The music was greater than anything Cape May has ever seen,” said Kline, referencing featured jazz legend and three-time Grammy award winner Ramsey Lewis. Kline told us that he was approached by Lewis after his performance, at Conven-tion Hall on Saturday. “He hugged me and complimented me on the production. He was really genuine in expressing that,” said Kline, who admitted to being nervous about the festival’s debut in the days leading up to Hurricane Sandy.
Kline credits his love for music as the motivation for putting together the festival. He works in music as a jazz booking agent
and spent many years in the home of jazz, New Orleans. He told us that he chose Cape May as the location for the festival because he saw it as a great place to have a world-class jazz festival. He wanted to give particu-lar thanks to Eliza Lotozo, Wendy Guiles, Brian Lee, Chuck and Hilary Prichard, and all the volunteers for their help with the event. He also gave a shout-out to Spy Boy Bob, who wishes to remain anonymous. “He knows who he is,” was all Kline would tell us of this mystery man. When asked whether the festival would be back next year, Kline said that “the 2013 International Jazz Festival will be the best we’ve ever seen.”
Wawa Property Finally SoldIT’S been a sad sight... the black hole on Bank Street where the Wawa used to be. But now the property has finally been sold, to the aforementioned Rusty Chew and wife Dag-mer, who will be moving their HomeStead real estate company from Broadway to the center of town. Rusty told us that settlement will be happening later this month, and that they were now in the process of trying to find a buyer for their Broadway property. “Yes, there has been some interest,” he told us, “but nothing we can talk about yet.”

The UndertowTerry O’Brien’s legendary column, which changed the face of Cape May, is back, and it’s as pretty good as ever
THE quarterback who is going to win a Super Bowl for the Phila-delphia Eagles is probably two years old right now… While it is a drag to witness the demise of
the Andy Reid Era (aaaaaand the kicker just missed an extra point… FACEPALM!!!), the most humane thing might be to put it down now like one of Michael Vick’s dogs. Reid is a good coach, but there’s something funda-mentally wrong when a team that routinely has the best talent in the NFL can’t close the deal. Of course, in true Philly fashion, he will go somewhere else next year and go 19-0.
Details are scarce (check Facebook), but a Hurricane Sandy benefit concert will be held at Convention Hall this Saturday, put together by local troubadour Carl Behrens. I think is a really excellent idea and I’m sure will be a crashing success given the charitable nature of everybody I know in Cape May. But if you go, don’t twist your ankle; the place has no insurance.
While the Convention Hall insurance fiasco and ensuing cover-up isn’t as bad as, say, the president of the United States of
America lying to 300 million citizens about Benghazi, it seems that someone at some point should have been aware BEFORE the $11m project began that the damn thing wasn’t going to be high enough. Were it not such a burden on the taxpaying citizenry of Cape May, it would be comical how the city can’t get out of its own way on these major issues, “highlighted” by the three-year Chi-nese Water Torture that was repaving the mall, and now this camel.*
*Camel (noun): Horse designed by committee.Anyway, on to frothier idiocy…Thing Unlike Me of the Week What I Did: Took
a road trip up to Haydenville, MA to partici-pate in a Beatles Open Mic night run by Dave
Stern, longtime family friend and success-ful author (The Blair Witch Project Companion, The Unauthorized Biography of Adam Sandler, Wolverine: Nature of the Beast, and many oth-ers). So I tooled up the Parkway to Exit 150 and my brother Mike’s house in Bloomfield and he took us the rest of the way. We played some old Beatles tunes (they’re not making any new ones), I drank about 16 Cabin Fever Brown Ales, slept a few hours, then tooled back home. All in the span of about 26 hours.
It was quite a collection of awe-inspiring musicians. But talented as they were, only my brother and I were offered a gig (The Florence Music on the Porch series). Were it not for the seven-hour commute, I’d be so there…
Speaking of gigs, as mentioned last week (and, surprisingly, has actually HAPPENED), I’ve got a couple of new winter shows to make you aware of — this Saturday you can catch Terry O’Brien’s Music O’malgam at Good Night Irene’s in Wildwood (Poplar & Pacific). This is a karaoke/ open mic/acoustic night we kicked off last week and was a rousing success. Bill Caterini filled the Will Knapp

(Ding!) role and performed admirably. Will showed up later and we Acousticed our Mayhem. We also had a half-dozen open mic performers who helped make it a full evening. It was a cool gig with a cool vibe and I encourage all of my Cape May musician friends to come out and play a few tunes with us. The more you play, the less I work, while receiving the same pay. It’s win-win! I’m there Saturday, then 12/8 and 15 and beyond, 10pm-2am.
Also, NEXT Saturday and the one after (11/24 and 12/1, then the first Saturday of each month) Acoustic Mayhem will be at the Anglesea Pub (1st and NJ), in North Wildwood. Angle-sea owner Sean MacMullen (who also has the nifty little Flight Deck diner at the Cape May Air-port) is one of my favorite human beings (he is human, right?) and the Anglesea is a great spot. Try the Shepherd’s Pie. Then many Guinness. Guinnei?
And all of this coexists with my Terry O’ke Friday at Rio Sta-tion. You’ll notice, ahem, no Cape May gigs in there. But honestly, people… Wildwood is only 15 minutes away. Make an effort, willya? Call Aart’s Taxi (898-RIDE) and drink your brains off.
I was, sadly, unable to make it into Elaine’s to review Sixteen Candelabras, which I was looking forward too, if only to heckle the balls off of Parker Smith. I would go review Scrooge but I’d rather jab needles into my eyes and use Tabasco eye wash than see that show. This has less to do with the quality of the show, which I’m sure is fantastic given the cast — Holly Knapp (Ding?), the afore-mentioned Mr Smith, Jillene Zander and Kris Kirsch — and more to do with my Post Trau-matic Scrooge Disorder, which one acquires by performing the same show 5,000 times. One of these nights Parker is going snap and run up and down the Wash-ington Street Mall, yelling, “It’s Christmas Day! I haven’t missed it!” while slapping people in the face with his Christmas goose.
Awesome Parenting Decision of the Week: Allowing my 11-year-
old son to read The Walking Dead graphic (really graphic) novels. If you think the TV show is bleak, the comic book makes it look like Candy Land. Not only have the books made Owen question the meaning of existence, but the sight of them send my nine and seven-year-olds into flights of apoplexy. I’m a good dad.
Speaking of The Walking Dead, with the “Lorrie Dies” episode (um, spoiler alert), they are now operating on a whole different level. It’s been a very long time since I spent an hour watching TV with my heart in my throat.
Also thrilling... Gideon’s Corpse by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, the second in a tril-ogy (Gideon’s Sword was first… and despite their titles they con-sist of neither swords nor san-dals; they’re conspiracy thrill-ers), which is tasty, pulp fiction at its best. Their character, FBI Spe-cial Agent Aloysius Pendergast, is one of my all-time faves. But, uh, he’s not in these. I get all my books from the library, but you should all go buy them at Atlan-tic Book Co.
Took the family to see Wreck-It Ralph Sunday night and while not quite Pixar-level awesome, it was a solid B+. I’m not quite video game nerd enough to enjoy all the character cameos, aside from cool-ass Q-Bert, but the story was strong. John C. Reilly is great as the voice of Ralph and the exe-crable Sarah Silverman was fine, I guess, as the cutie pie.
My deep, abiding love for Masterpiece Theater’s Sherlock made me resistant to the CBS procedural Elementary. But after forcing myself to watch the first five episodes I have found it to be solid, bordering on great.
Lastly, it is my time to say goodbye to Morey’s Piers until 2013. I am quite proud to have completed my third season with them, and even prouder that my bosses opened up their Wild-wood hotels to Hurricane Sandy victims. On my drive to Massa-chusetts the reality of it struck home; gas lines two miles long, towns without power, dazed citi-zens walk around clutching their gas cans. God speed to all.
’Til next week, don’t get caught in The Undertow.

Benefit Concert To Help Victims Of SandyThree bands will play at Cape May Convention Hall this Saturday, November 17
HURRICANE Sandy may only have struck a glancing blow to the Cape May area, but many parts of New Jersey were hit hard and need help.
You can play a role in the recovery and have a great night out at a fundraiser this Saturday, November 17, at 8pm at Cape May Conven-tion Hall.
Three musical groups with strong links to the area will perform an exciting set list that brings together big band, rock, pop, and dance music. The Fred Hall Orches-tra’s sophisticated style lures even the most reluctant dancers to the floor. For a lively change of pace, local favorite Twelve:01 kicks the night up a notch with its original power rock/pop music with an acoustic edge. And Red Mare, a collaboration of seasoned musi-cians with Cape May ties, brings a fresh take to old favorites and new picks from the song-books of some of your favorite artists.
The dance floor will be open, with ele-gant cabaret seating and a cash bar with beer and wine hosted by Carney’s. Sound is pro-
vided compliments of ACIR Professional, a complete audio system solutions company.
Proceeds from the concert will go to the direct relief of Hurricane Sandy victims here in New Jersey. So you’ll have a great time and know you’re lending a hand to people who
need it.Tickets are available for $20 the night of
the benefit. If you plan to pay be check, make it payable to the Kiwanis NJ Foundation. For more information, call (855) 708-9699 or (609) 884-9563.

THE Answer Lady invites inqui-ries from gentle readers on all manner of relationship quan-daries, matters of the heart and ethics. If you’d like to send a
query, write to info@exitzero.us.Dear Answer LadyThanksgiving is nearly here, and I am
a wreck. I always host my big family, and I love it, but this year is shaping up to be a disaster. Let’s just say it’s been a feud-filled few months, and although I am not directly involved in any of them, I’ve heard from at least two relatives, each threatening not to attend if so-and-so is there. I don’t feel it’s appropriate to uninvite (or is it “disin-vite”?) anyone, but I don’t want any sniping or mashed potato-flinging at my table. How in the world do I handle this? — Unhappy Hostess
Dear Hostess Yes, dear reader — the correct word is
indeed “disinvite,” and no, you shall not do any such thing. Good grief, the depths of pettiness to which people are capable of sinking never cease to amaze the Answer
Lady. A guest in your home, family member or not, has no business dictating your guest list. If someone calls you to essentially warn you in advance that he or will not be able to conduct himself or herself civilly at a holiday meal, you have the Answer Lady’s blessing to tell them that you have already invited everyone that you intended to invite, and that you will certainly miss them this year. And while you’re chatting, you may want to mention all of the families who have been displaced by Hurricane Sandy, many of
whom may well still be holed up in Wild-wood hotels with hotplates and microwaves for Thanksgiving. Then, of course, you can mention the amazing work currently being done by Cape May Donates, Restore the Shore, and the American Red Cross, among others. The Answer Lady suspects your relatives will quickly realize their shameless behavior, change their tune and attend your Thanksgiving dinner. Be sure when saying grace that evening that you pointedly men-tion your gratitude for the gift of family.
Dear Answer LadyWe have always hosted Thanksgiving at
our home – for the past couple of decades, in fact. And that’s fine – I’m a good cook and I love having friends and neighbors over. But this year…..I just don’t feel like it. Is that a good enough reason not to host? – Betty Needs a Break
Dear BettyCertainly, dear. And here are some other
good reasons: the Merion Inn, the Blue Pig Tavern, Rio Station, Aleathea’s, The Ebbitt Room, Union Park — all open for Thanks-giving.

To all our friends and supporters...Thankfully — remarkably! — through hard work and much luck, Henry’s has come through this devastating storm that leaves all around us a trail of horrific damage.
Our sincere, heartfelt thanks to all of you who expressed such deep and personal concern for our welfare. Your thoughts and your prayers for the safety of Henry’s and its staff are greatly appreciated. We are humbled by such generosity of spirit, and overwhelmed by your kindness and warmth.
Please know that we are again open — and that our thoughts and our efforts now turn to friends and neighbors who were less fortunate. 10% of every purchase you make at Henry’s will go directly to the local food bank and emergency relief fund. With the holidays approaching, let’s all work together to get our favorite resort back on its feet.
We value your business and your friendship, and we thank you for your continued support.
All best wishes,
Scott and all your friends at Henry’s
The Movie ColumnThis week, Maureen Hansberry, a member of Cape May Film Society, reviews “Argo”
A MOVIE can mean so much more when you remember the events. Argo is a film about the hostage crisis that took place in late 1979.
I had just turned 12, and I can remember the images on television of people being led with their heads covered. It was a hor-rible sight. This movie helps fill in so much of the back story that you’re riveted to the explanations alone. That everyone did such a wonderful job in acting, telling the story, cinematography, and direction makes it just that much more worthwhile.
Noted as a true story, Argo tells of the secret rescue operation to save six Ameri-cans, all of this unfolding behind the scenes. The Iran hostage crisis had us glued to the television — but this part of the story would be kept confidential for decades. On November 4, 1979 (my 12th birthday), as the Iranian revolution reached its highest and most violent peak, rebel militants took over the US embassy in Tehran, and held 52 Americans hostage.
In the midst of the rebellion, six Ameri-cans found sanctuary with a Canadian ambassador. It would not have been long before they were found out and killed had it not been for CIA specialist Tony Mendez (played by Ben Affleck). Mendez comes up with a plan to get them safely out of the country — but it is not without risk! It’s a plan so incredible, Argo producers say, “it could only happen in the movies.”
Because I can distinctly remember these events, I can totally relate to this
film. But you don’t have to understand how the hostage crisis affected world history to appreciate this film. Acting performances from John Goodman and Alan Arkin were particularly noteworthy. This film may receive some Oscar nods come this year, and of other films I’ve seen so far getting Oscar buzz this one definitely deserves it most. So while the Iranian hostage cri-sis kept me on the edge of my seat three decades years ago, Argo keeps us on the edge of our seats in theaters right now.
Thanks to member Maureen Hansberry for this review. Seen any good movies lately? Let us know (we’ll write the review for you!). And join us at Mad Batter on February 24 (plenty of advance notice!) as Cape May Film Society hosts our FREE Pre-Oscar party. There will be great food, cash bar, and a chance to win films that are both outstanding examples of Hollywood’s finest and the crappiest garbage it has ever put out (in a little game we like to call “Winners and Losers!”). To get your Oscar ballot, email capemayfilm@hotmail.com.

Activity Of The WeekA weekly column by Catherine Dugan. This week: Shop!
COMBINE a trip to Cape May with your shopping list, and you have a recipe for a merry Christmas... or at least, some very merry Christmas shop-
ping! Shopping takes energy. Fuel up with
breakfast at George’s or the Blue Pig and start your shopping on the Perry Street end of the mall. The Import/Export Bazaar always has unusual finds. Whale’s Tale has never let me down — great books and toys for children and adults. A Christmas tree ornament makes a great “extra” gift to have on hand. For fancy soaps and bubble baths — or hand sanitizers for teacher gifts — try A Place on Earth or Bath Time. Stroll in and out of the clothing shops to find some-thing that suits everyone on your list — hats and scarves are usually one size fits all. The Free Shop is sure to please a teen-aged girl. Love a cook? Try Love the Cook. The dishtowels and magnets at Just for Laughs are easy to mail to faraway friends — or have the Fudge Kitchen ship some candy for you.
you want? Shop The West End garage and discover new essentials.
Outdo the other aunts and uncles with toys from the Nature Center of Cape May. For example, consider something featuring the prehistoric horseshoe crab. For adults, their Harbor Gallery has artwork in the $50 range and funky, beachy jewelry. Or, visit the Cape May Bird Observatory and intro-duce a kid — or grownup — to birdwatch-ing with a pair of binoculars.
For older people who probably don’t want any more knickknacks — gift cer-tificates for Cape May’s restaurants, a massage at the Sea Spa or a pedicure from Accent on Beauty may work. If a friend’s photo has appeared in Exit Zero, you can order a print for him. Know someone who is rebuilding after Sandy? They may appreciate a gift certificate to Swain’s, or a grocery store, drug store or gas station. “Wrap” your gift in a plastic bucket or tie it to a kite string as a reminder that things will be better by summer. And don’t forget — you have been very good this year, too.
Next week: Take a Christmas Stroll
Make a trip back to your trunk and drop off your parcels midday and treat yourself to lunch and maybe a pint, for strength, at the Pilot House or the Ugly Mug. How about a gift of fancy olive oil and vinegars or spreads from the Cape May Olive Oil Company for the host who has everything? Not that there’s anything wrong with a gift of wine or liquor, and Colliers, Sunset Liquors and the wineries offer great selec-tions. If you’re having a good year, con-sider gifts of fine jewelry. Don’t know what

«KRINGLE is a younger, very energetic boy. He’s strong, and because of his
exuberance, he’ll need just a bit of training. Because of this, he’d be best in a home with-out kids, or at least with older kids. Kringle loves food (almost as much as he’ll love you), and you could use this to train him! If you think you can spare the time and love for such a cutie, stop by the shetler and give the pup a second chance. The adoption fee is $95.
«JAMISON is a black two-year-old Shepherd. This beautiful and sweet
girl is a bit nervous when you first meet her, but with just a little time, you’ll be best pals. She knows some basic commands, and will be eager to learn more from a calm owner. Jamison came to the shelter because she didn’t get along with her owner’s other dog, but she’ll likely be cool with cats. The adop-tion fee is $95.
«JUSTICE is a bright-eyed one-year-old lab/pit mix. It’s amazing how social and
fun-loving this guy is considering he was left tied to a fence and abandoned. Justice is high-energy and strong so he will need a patient owner willing to train and exercise him. Jus-tice is smart, knows “sit,” will easily learn more commands, and can go to a home that has other dogs and children over the age of 10 years. The adoption fee is $95.

«PIPER and Shiloh (right), both two and a half years old when they arrived
at the shelter in 2012, were brought in when their owner died. Piper is shy at first, but after a few minutes, she’s happy to sit on your lap. Companions all their lives, these two should be adopted together, in which case one adoption fee will be waived.
«GEORGE is at the shelter with his brother, Jerry. They were brought in
off the streets a few months ago. George is outgoing; Jerry is still very scared. If you think you can spare the time and love for these brothers (or even just one), stop in and give them a second chance. The adoption fee is $70.
«SHILOH and her litter mate Piper, (left) have been hoping for a forever
home since 2010. Shiloh is a four-and-a-half-year-old tortoiseshell who would love nothing more than a family. Because they’ve been companions all their lives, it would be great if these sisters could stay together in which case one adoption fee will be waived.

WE ARE sad to say good bye to Poe, Times Two; it closes Friday night! There are only two more chances to see the “Mas-
ter of the Macabre.”A double-bill of short, one-man plays
adapted from two of Poe’s classic stories of mystery and horror, “The Cask of Amontil-lado” and “The Black Cat,” Poe, Times Two is just the thing to make the Halloween sea-son that much creepier! Beginning Novem-ber 23, it’s time to kick up your heels with A Tuna Christmas, the hilarious sequel to the hit comedy, Greater Tuna. Master come-dians Jody Cook and Turner Crumbley
Opening Night For“A Tuna Christmas”

bring their deft comedic timing, trademark characterizations and split-second costume changes. The two portray all 24 citizens of Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas, where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies!
This time, it’s 24 hours before Christ-mas and times are tough. Bertha Bumiller’s drunken husband hasn’t come home, her kids are messes, and a Christmas Phantom is destroying the town’s decorations. Add a disaster-prone production of A Christ-mas Carol, and you’ve got holiday fare that would tickle the funny bone of even the most bah-humbug Scrooges. A Tuna Chris-tas runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 8pm and Saturdays and Sundays at 3pm, so stuff your stocking with a Tuna surprise this holiday season!
Need to save a few dollars? Half-Price Senior Matinée for A Tuna Christmas is
December 9. Seniors will see this hilarious show for half the price of a regular senior ticket: only $15! Be sure to order your tick-ets soon, as Half-Price matinees sell out quickly.
Saturday, December 8 will be the next installment in Cape May Stage’s Meet Your Seat series: A Holiday Open House! Made possible by PNC Arts Alive, this is your chance to tour behind-the-scenes of the Robert Shackleton Playhouse, enjoy a concert of carolers, and get in the holiday spirit. The event is FREE, and no reserva-tions are required. However, you can make reservations in advance and purchase a dis-counted Family Pass (only $25 and includes up to five admissions) for the December 26 performance of A Tuna Christmas.

bluish backs. But if both were called Blue-backed Nuthatch that wouldn’t distinguish them from each other.
Or the other two nuthatch species which aren’t found here, for that matter. They too have blue backs. Well, bluish.
Now the point of all this is not to bog you down in a discussion of nuthatch plum-ages or distribution. It is to alert readers to a
Bird DroppingsThe weekly report from the world’s birdwatching capital... by Seymore Thanu
Continued On Page 88 ?
THERE are two types of nut-hatches. Red and White. These chunky, animate, wind-up-toys for birds are a favorite among... Okay, that was a
lie. Actually there are three, no four, nut-hatches. Except two of them are not found here.
Wait a minute. That’s not true either. Actually, one of the two that isn’t found here is sometimes found here, but it doesn’t live here. I mean it lives close to here. Like within sight of Cape May. But given the fact that it has officially occurred here (twice) renders my initial assertion that there are only two types of nuthatches void.
So I retract it.I rephrase it. There are two types of nuthatches com-
monly found here. Red and White. These chunky, animate, wind-up-toys for birds are a favorite among...
Darn. That’s not right either. The birds aren’t wholly red and white. They are Red-breasted and White-breasted. Both have
very important — in fact epic — event.This year, there are hordes of nut-
hatches (red and white, or to be correct, red-breasted and white-breasted) that are descending on our region. How many constitutes a horde? Well, the concept of a flock is somewhat unrefined in the minds of nuthatches. But this year there have been squadrons of Red-breasted Nuthatches flying about, and even, on one remarkable occasion, two White-breasted Nuthatches in flight, in view, at the same time.
Yes. South of the Cape May Canal! While common in more northern parts of the county, White-breasted Nuthatch is fairly uncommon south of the canal. But not this year.
Now the real disclosure. The reason the regions birders are all hopped up about all these nuthatches is because nuthatches are the bellwethers of big northern finch erup-tions. When nuthatches arrive in numbers, finch follow. In fact, in the past few weeks

there have been lots of Pine Siskin, lots of Purple Finch and even a smattering of cross-bills. Which also come in Red and White. Which is also irrelevant.
There have even been rumors of Eve-ning Grosbeak. A near mythical creature. And, who knows, in a major eruption year like this one, it might even be possible for Cape May’s first Pine Grosbeak to hit town. We’re way over overdue.
So what does all this mean to you. Well, if I were you, I’d be stocking up on thistle (not the plant, the bird seed commonly known as Nyger) and Black-oil Sunflower Seed. All these finches are seed-eating birds. If you feed birds, you are going to have lots and lots of hungry minions.
And if you don’t feed birds? Well, you can still cash in on the finch eruption. You can go out on the commodities exchange and buy thistle seed futures.
A little bird told me that the price is going to sky-rocket. Actually, two little birds.
And for those of you who don’t have the appropriate feeders for thistle and black oil sunflower seed, the Cape May Bird Obser-
vatory is open six days a week from 9:30am to 4:30pm (closed on Tuesdays) for your shopping convenience. So head over to CMBO, THE place for all your nature needs, at 701 East Lake Drive overlooking Lake Lily in Cape May Point (609-884-2736). You can ask the staff for help, pick up a couple of feeders, a FREE birding map, and a few other items since there is so much to choose from. Our staff are always willing to help with any questions. While you are there, scan the bookshelves for some bar-gains in the used and vintage books section (maybe even a slightly used field guide for
Bird Droppings? From Page 87
the kitchen counter), look at some of the wonderful Charley Harper merchandise including a terrific lithograph done just for the Cape May Bird Observatory (which is FREE when you become a member), or pick up some of the newest HAWKS in Flight clothing for your wardrobe. Or just browse around. If it’s nice, sit outside on our garden benches and enjoy the birds and the view of Lake Lily. If you can’t make it to Cape May, you’ll just have to let your fingers do the birding online at www.BirdCapeMay.org.
Seymore Thanu is none other than New Jer-sey’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 informa-tion, insight and even fantasy into a net that cap-tures minds and hearts. He has written for virtu-ally every birding publication and for The New York Times.
You can join Pete for his regularly scheduled Monday morning walk at the South Cape May Meadows. Just meet by 7:30am in The Nature Conservancy parking lot on Sunset Boulevard. FREE loaner binoculars are available for the walk. Cost for the walk is $6 for CMBO or NJ Audubon members; $10 for non-members.
