Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,<br />
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s<br />
excellent dining establishments. Everything is totally different<br />
on the food landscape these days, but in the interests of<br />
the public, we are still venturing out there and enjoying the<br />

and, of course, lobster meat); and Calabrese (a spicy sausage which and<br />

Undertow<br />
Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence<br />
PHOTOGRAPHS BY ALEKSEY MORYAKOV<br />
Sharon, Steve<br />
Greeting from Undertow Central, situated<br />
here in the birthplace of country<br />
music, Erma, NJ. As you long-time<br />
readers know (and you short-time<br />
readers are about to find out) I have<br />
an extensive background in theater, where I<br />
managed to make my living for much of my<br />
adulthood. Right here in cool Cape May. Well,<br />
we’re finally going to mine that vein here at<br />
Exit Zero with a special dinner theater event<br />
on Monday, October 12. My original show,<br />
Young Dracula (a spiritual sequel/ homage to the<br />
brilliant Young Frankenstein), will be showing at<br />
4:30 and 7:00, with a portion of the proceeds<br />
going to the 2021 West Cape May Christmas<br />
parade. (The 2020 parade was canceled due<br />
to Covid, but if they’d just called it the West<br />
Cape May Christmas Peaceful Protest the virus<br />
would have ignored it, but I digress.)<br />
The show ran elsewhere in town a few<br />
years back and people seemed to enjoy it.<br />
We were even nominated for a Broadway<br />
World award. But it is not, to put it mildly,<br />
Shakespeare. Rather, it’s a silly little trifle<br />
meant to make you laugh, smile and occasionally<br />
groan. There’s even a few song and dance<br />
numbers! So, to all my old theater friends,<br />
here’s a chance to revisit one of my better<br />
shows. And to all the new friends I’ve made<br />
the last few years at Exit Zero, here’s a chance<br />
to take a glimpse into my previous life (and<br />
twisted mind). But most importantly, it’s a<br />
chance to raise good money for a good cause.<br />
By the time you read this there SHOULD<br />
be a way to reserve your tickets online or<br />
by calling Exit Zero Filling Station. Seats are<br />
first-come, first-served so get in there early<br />
and often to secure a good one. Trainwreck<br />
potential is very high so you’ll want to be there<br />
to witness it. Live theater at the gas station<br />
restaurant might be peak 2020.<br />
Which is more excruciating, the Phillies<br />
bullpen or the Eagles defensive secondary?<br />
Discuss.<br />
After work the other night, EZFS bartender<br />
Gordon Sterling was talking about how wet<br />
and salty his feet get on the boat (during the<br />
day he works at East Coast Water Sports) and I<br />
found myself getting a little aroused. Might be<br />
time to arrange a date night with the Mrs.<br />
Apparently I missed a great quote of the<br />
Week opportunity when Katie Dowe was<br />
talking about what a great finger flicker she is.<br />
What a filthy little crew we have here at EZFS.<br />
It was so cold last weekend my band was<br />
called T-t-t-t-t-t-N-T-t-t-t-t-t-. At one point<br />
on Saturday night my throat was literally frozen.<br />
Singing into a 40-degree, 20mph headwind<br />
for four hours is... challenging. And my<br />
poor guitar player Tim Joyce not only couldn’t<br />
keep his machines in tune, it felt like he was<br />

bright side, at least there were no<br />

despite some iffy weather, been<br />
pretty great playing for you all.<br />
I’m not sure how this outside dining<br />
phenomenon that has swept<br />
Cape May ever goes away. Inside<br />
dining is for losers! LONG LIVE<br />
OUTSIDE DINING! (Until it gets<br />
cold, then go inside.)<br />

outrageously good, family-owned<br />

Compliment of the Week:<br />
From the aforementioned Tim<br />
Joyce, my partner in musical<br />
crime, who, after going out and<br />
hearing several singers last week,<br />
told me, “You’re better than any<br />
of them.” Seeing as Tim doles out<br />
Faulkner, in fact, did NOT sit<br />
in the cold and blustery winds<br />
to hear TNT last Sunday and<br />
Monday. Undertow regrets the<br />
error.<br />
There’s this hour on Ferry<br />
Road that has this plywood cutout<br />

tattooed on my forehead. Also,<br />
there’s no one else I’d rather spend<br />
several nights a week hanging out<br />
and making music with than this<br />
guy.<br />
so worn and weather beaten that<br />
it look like a zombie and it’s actually<br />
kind of terrifying so please kill<br />
it with fire.<br />

Hooman took me on a car ride!<br />
Woof! Hooman gave me treats!<br />
Woof! Other hooman in white<br />

things. Sad woof. Then more<br />
treats! Woof!<br />
I want to look into how to<br />
become a Service Human. Would I<br />
need to take a class or something?<br />
I’ve known Jehovanny Nunez<br />
since he was about 12 years old.<br />
I always considered him a friend.<br />
I watched him go from kitchen<br />
to kitchen sharpening his skills<br />
and climbing the ladder before<br />
finally opening his own place.<br />
Which is why it was so shocking<br />
and disturbing to see him share a<br />
Facebook photo using the “what<br />
would you look like bald” filter. For<br />
Joanne, I accept your apology<br />
and offer one in return. Though<br />
we got off on the wrong foot (the<br />
only kind I have), I bet you’d be a<br />
helluva lot of fun to watch a ball<br />
game with.<br />
Why are my ankles the itchiest<br />
part of my body?<br />
I’ve been watching this show<br />
Next Step with Jackson. It’s like Saved<br />
By the Bell if it were set in a dance<br />
studio and competently acted.<br />
No wait, it’s like Fame but set in<br />
Canada minus all the sex and<br />
drugs. No wait, it’s like The Office<br />
but all the girls are Pam and all the<br />
boys are Michael Scott. No wait,<br />
it’s like Friends but all the friends<br />
have plastic doll genitalia. (It’s<br />
actually just a wholesome, family-friendly<br />
show I enjoy watching<br />
years bald people like myself have<br />
10am-10pm l Free Delivery<br />
been trying to remove the stigma with my dancer son, but I can’t<br />
of being follically challenged and just come out and say that.)<br />

The Theater Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
What if you didn’t have a stage<br />
or lights or even an audience<br />
— could you still move people<br />
by reading a play? It’s about the<br />
story and performances — it’s<br />
time to check out a virtual reading at Cape<br />
May Stage. Happy, a one-act play, premiered<br />
last week and is available at capemaystage.<br />
org — you don’t want to miss it!<br />
Donald (Michael Basile) buzzes the<br />
apartment of George “Happy” Haliday (Jesse<br />
N. Helmes). Happy is currently a janitor but<br />
was a star rookie for the newly formed New<br />
York Mets decades earlier in 1962. Donald has<br />
a ball his father caught for him when Happy<br />
hit a foul back then. He needs Happy to sign it.<br />
One baseball. One autograph. A host of<br />
curves in a story that hits home. Basile and<br />
Helmes are exceptional and make you feel<br />
their characters both separately and when<br />
they interact. You’re drawn into the story<br />
slowly but certainly. It is beyond remarkable.<br />
Roy Steinberg expertly directs. Alan<br />
Zweibel is the playwright. Zweibel is an<br />
award-winning writer and SNL alum. He was<br />
also a writer on the Tony winning Billy Crystal<br />
play 700 Sundays. Happy was adapted to a short<br />
film in 2019 for the New York festival “Stage<br />
to Screen.” I’ve become a groupie of this story<br />
— all thanks to this Cape May Stage reading.<br />
Also streaming at capemaystage.org<br />
is Adrift, a short play by Richard Allerman.<br />
Imagine you live on a luxury cruise ship with<br />
all the amenities but only one drawback —<br />
there’s an apocalypse on every shore you pass.<br />
How’s that for a new twist on an “end of the<br />
world” scenario?<br />
It opens with couple Betsy and Todd,<br />
ship residents played by Alison Fraser and<br />
Anthony Newfield. She complains how the<br />
ship is not stopping in and he reminds her<br />
they’re trapped on the boat because the world<br />
is filled with warfare, pandemics, and widespread<br />
natural disasters. Fraser is so engaging<br />
— you almost forget this is a reading.<br />
Newfield plays opposite her with a rapport<br />
that makes you feel they’re in the same room.<br />
Also online, Victoria’s Secrets — a onewoman<br />
performance starring Candace<br />
O’Donnell as Queen Victoria — yes, THE<br />
Queen Victoria. She is fun to watch, her heir of<br />
royalty will delight any of you Brit-o-philes!<br />
Elsewhere on the site, you’ll find interviews,<br />
Broadway celebrities in unique performances,<br />
and many other readings from world-renowned<br />
actors. There’s something for everyone<br />
among the selections at capemaystage.<br />

The Old Fogey<br />
Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur<br />
I<br />
shall never forget the Cape May<br />
Mermaid, although at that time she<br />
was known as “Half Woman, Half Fish,<br />
ALL Freak!” and was the star attraction<br />
in the Wildwood Traveling Circus<br />
that used to hop from town to town like a<br />
summer pox. The circus was the usual fare:<br />
mutants, freaks, sports and uglies, aka a<br />
random sampling of its home town’s population,<br />
dressed in scanty, colorful clothes<br />
with painted faces.<br />
But that day I will never forget: I was<br />
wandering the circus grounds with a band<br />
of Cossack horsemen (in town for the Cape<br />
May Rodeo) and scoffing at the shows on<br />
display. Then I glimpsed The Mermaid and<br />
stopped in my tracks. She was a beauty<br />
beyond description, a fusion of our two<br />
species; from the waist up, a double of the<br />
great Sophia Loren, from the waist down, a<br />
glittering, scaled tail. We made eye contact<br />
and nothing more had to be said.<br />
That night, after close, I revisited with<br />
wirecutters, a knobkerry and a hipf lask of<br />
malt for courage, plus a burlap sack. I wirecut<br />
the fence, knobkerried the muscleman<br />
on guard duty and drank the malt. The<br />
Mermaid was asleep in her tank, half out<br />
of the water, forlorn and lovely. I clasped a<br />
hand over her mouth lest she accidentally<br />
scream and alert the owners, but she saw<br />
me and smiled. I bid her hush, slipped the<br />
sack over her (gently), and we were off.<br />
Within no time we were home, and I<br />
carried her to the Point and slipped the sack<br />
off. She clasped me around the neck and we<br />
kissed. She went to speak but I hushed her<br />
with a finger and whispered: “My love, I will<br />
not condemn you to a life of misery away<br />
from your natural envionment. It is best<br />
that I set you free and you can come visit<br />
once a year, at this same spot.”<br />
Her eyes widened and she started to<br />
shake from fear, no doubt at being torn<br />
apart from me so soon, but before she could<br />
object I hurled her far out into the swirling<br />
waters. Her last words were: “I shall never<br />
forget you, my two-legged love”, though the<br />
wind caught them and made them sound<br />
like “No, you damned fool you don’t underst<br />
…” then she was gone with a wave.<br />
She never did come back, though every<br />
year I waited: possibly her own family made<br />
her see the sense of a clean break so as<br />
to reduce the heartache. Not long after, I<br />
happened to find a fragment of iridescent<br />
green-scaled fabric, with a zipper, washed<br />
ashore not far away. A relic from a costume<br />
party in a faraway land, I thought, how lovely.<br />

WHAT IS ORDINANCE 392?<br />
Ordinance 392-2020, on this November’s ballot, is for ONE<br />
Public Safety Building in Cape May. This will be a central<br />
hub for first responders including police, fire, and EMS in<br />
Cape May. The building will house two facilities, one for fire<br />
and one for police with flexible shared spaces uniting them.<br />
It will be located at Franklin and Washington Streets, the<br />
same location as the current fire house.<br />
WHY DO WE NEED THIS?<br />
While the idea of a consolidated public safety building is<br />
not a new one, it became much more relevant after 9/11. A<br />
building that allows for the maximum coordination among<br />
first responders and acts as a centralized communication<br />
hub in the event of a crisis made sense to public safety<br />
experts. When faced with the horrific and basically<br />
irreparable conditions in both the current police and fire<br />
stations in our City it became clear that a unified public<br />
safety building should be considered. Both the Fire Chief<br />
and Police Chief are in favor of one joint building. They will<br />
have the ability to operate a command center out of one<br />
building in addition to carrying out their respective daily<br />
missions, and responding quickly, competently, and<br />
professionally to any public safety situation. This is critical<br />
to efficient emergency management functions. A building<br />
shared by both departments also reduces the cost of<br />
maintaining duplicate facilities and duplicate functions in<br />
two buildings.<br />
WHAT’S THE IMPACT ON CITY<br />
BUDGET & TAXPAYERS?<br />
According to the City Auditor, a 15 million dollar bond<br />
would increase the tax rate by 6/10th of a cent, which<br />
means a $500,000 house’s taxes would increase by roughly<br />
$50 a year. More importantly, the city would not have to<br />
stop all other projects due to the debt of the new public<br />
safety building.<br />
HOW WILL IT LOOK?<br />
The Public Safety Building is in the concept and design<br />
phase. The proposed facility will hold the same character<br />
and charm as the architecture popular in Cape May. This<br />
new facility will integrate twenty-first century public safety<br />
features, such as community access, latest technology,<br />
support service coordination and sustainability. Final<br />
design will have additional input from the Historic<br />
Preservation Commission.<br />
Paid for by Citizens for One Public Safety Building<br />
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OVER<br />
SEPARATE FACILITIES?<br />
In August 2017, the Public Safety Building Advisory<br />
Committee began researching the one building concept.<br />
Given the knowledge, training and expertise of Chiefs<br />
Coulter and Marino, we learned the following:<br />
• The “unified” command center or one Public Safety<br />
Building will ensure better coordination of resources,<br />
deployment of personnel and communication among<br />
first responders during a hurricane, health emergency, or<br />
large scale community events.<br />
• Many routine calls require the presence of police, fire and<br />
EMS, working relationships and response time will be<br />
enhanced as first responders operate from one location.<br />
• The Public Safety Building will locate all safety functions<br />
for residents and tourists in one, ADA centrally accessible<br />
location.<br />
• Builds pride in our civic presence and improves the overall<br />
operations for Fire, Police and EMS to deliver crucial<br />
services to their community and to thousands of visitors<br />
to Cape May.<br />
• Complies with growing regulatory requirements for all<br />
first responders.<br />
• Improves efficiency and cohesion of public safety<br />
services at a central location within the City of Cape May.<br />
• Can accommodate full time, summer, male and female<br />
staff and allows for future growth of both police and fire<br />
departments.<br />
• Reduces long-term burden of maintenance costs<br />
incurred with two separate buildings while contributing to<br />
a more efficient delivery of public safety.<br />
• Ensures that the 911 Commission, Department of<br />
Homeland Security and FEMA “coordinated response”<br />
and “unified command” elements are in place for special<br />
large-scale community events, health emergencies or<br />
natural disasters.<br />
• Improves and highlights the Firefighters Museum and<br />
memorial garden.<br />
HOW WILL WE GET IT DONE?<br />
The community’s support of this project is essential with a<br />
YES vote on Ordinance 392-2020. Once the bond is passed,<br />
we will be able to move forward with the project and the<br />
construction of the building. The next steps will include<br />
demolition of the current fire station as the new building<br />
goes in its place, preserving the Victorian design elements<br />
of the streetscape.<br />
WERE ANY EXPERTS INVOLVED IN<br />
THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT?<br />
USA Architects is a premier company specializing in Fire,<br />
Police, EMS, Public Safety and other public facilities with an<br />
extensive relevant resume. In addition, fire and police<br />
experts were interviewed and participated in the planning<br />
phase. The USA team was complimented by highly<br />
experienced and knowledgeable consultants with past<br />
project experience and some who know Cape May well:<br />
O’Donnell and Naccarato: Structural Engineers; Bala<br />
Engineering: Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Fire<br />
Protection, IT, Security; Advantage Engineering:<br />
Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering; Hill<br />
International: Cost Estimating.<br />
WHAT MAKES USA ARCHITECTS<br />
QUALIFIED ON THIS SUBJECT?<br />
USA’s approach to projects incorporates a process of<br />
intricate planning on municipal levels and working with key<br />
personnel to thoroughly plan a project that is efficient and<br />
effective. In a highly collaborative and creative setting the<br />
design team and the Advisory Board committee discussed<br />
and analyze the key features of this very unique building:<br />
Civic Presence, Functionality, Security, Constructability and<br />
Durability, Data Collection and Analysis, Budget<br />
Development, Project Schedule, Cost vs. Benefit, Periodic<br />
Reviews, Code and Zoning Analysis, Sustainability, and<br />
Completing the Work in a Professional and Cost Effective<br />
Manner. USA’s knowledge of the process and aptitude of<br />
current trends strengthens the civic presence of a building<br />
and improves the overall operations so that Cape May’s<br />
civic organizations may continue to deliver critical services<br />
to their community.<br />

WHERE DID PRICING COME FROM?<br />
USA Architects uses Hill International to create a cost<br />
estimate using cost per square foot from recent projects,<br />
including the Public Safety Project in Collingswood which is<br />
currently under construction.<br />
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE<br />
FIREFIGHTERS MUSEUM?<br />
The seemingly historic Firefighters Museum was actually<br />
built in 1984 by volunteers to house the Fire Department ‘s<br />
1928 American LaFrance pumper truck and hold a vast<br />
collection of antique fire fighting paraphernalia and<br />
equipment. Some date back to the turn of the century,<br />
preserving and displaying the evolution of modern day<br />
firefighting. Unfortunately, where they stand, these<br />
priceless artifacts and antiques are not being properly<br />
protected. The current building lacks heat, air conditioning,<br />
security, and ironically, no fire alarm and sprinklers. In the<br />
words of Chief Alex Coulter, “The Museum has no fire<br />
detection or fire protection. It is non-compliant to state<br />
and local fire codes.”<br />
All Members of the Citizens for Public Safety Building are<br />
concerned that these precious sources of learning and<br />
inspiration are at risk of being destroyed by fire, theft and<br />
exposure to the extremes of heat and cold temperatures,<br />
which is why we believe it should be rebuilt.<br />
The proposed Public Safety Building includes an updated<br />
museum at the corner of Franklin and Washington Streets,<br />
which is where the current museum stands. This secure,<br />
climate-controlled area will feature the 1928 LaFrance<br />
Pumper — which is currently undergoing costly and<br />
extensive renovation. All of the memorabilia will be<br />
catalogued and preserved rather than exposed to volatile<br />
temperature changes and humidity.<br />

The Activity Column<br />
Catherine Dugan’s guide to staying in... this week, get to a winery!<br />
A<br />
lot of people are turning to<br />
Shakespeare during this pandemic.<br />
It’s only fitting, since the pandemic<br />
of his time influenced his work.<br />
Outbreaks of plague closed London<br />
theaters for long stretches, surviving Londoners<br />
bore scars of disease, and mass death affected<br />
all aspects of English life. Shakespeare was<br />
gloomy — he likely meant it when he called<br />
mankind “a foul and pestilent congregation of<br />
vapours.” It’s easy to imagine that his mourning<br />
over his young son, Hamnet, shows in Hamlet.<br />
That exploration of grief and isolation seems<br />
suited to our current times. Imagine a modern<br />
Hamlet, forced home from college to deal with<br />
his dysfunctional family, his hometown girlfriend,<br />
and responsibilities of adulthood. Like<br />
many young people, he is alternately nasty and<br />
noble. We still debate his advice to Ophelia —<br />
does he point her to a convent to escape the<br />
evils of the world, or because she is too evil for<br />
the world? Invite your friends to ponder this<br />
issue with a visit to a winery.<br />
Sunday Brunch at Cape May Winery is outdoors<br />
and accompanied by live music. There’s a<br />
tapas menu of tasty treats like avocado toast<br />
and crab cake benedict. Sample a wine flight<br />
and take home a souvenir glass and a few bottles.<br />
Take social media pictures in the vineyard.<br />

At Willow Creek Winery, lift your heart with<br />
yoga — Vinyasa in the Vines is on Wednesday<br />
and Friday mornings for $25, including a postclass<br />
sangria, or Sunday mornings for $15, sangria<br />
not included. They also offer music and a<br />
firepit Saturday evenings. Enjoy charcuterie,<br />
local musicians, and wine. For information,<br />
visit willowcreekwinerycapemay.com.<br />
At Turdo Winery — turdovineyards.com —<br />
outdoor tastings allow you to find your favorites.<br />
Park on the street, wear your mask, and<br />
respect the “first come, first served” policy.<br />
Hawk Haven — hawkhavenvineyard.com —<br />
also offers outdoor tasting, wine by the glass,<br />
and a “small bites menu.”<br />
To combine your pleasures, visit Cape May<br />
Cigars and Wine at 421 Washington Street,<br />
where you’ll get advice and tastings. Can’t you<br />
see Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern sitting<br />
on the steps of Elsinore Castle after raiding<br />
Gertrude’s wine cellar, debating which reds<br />
stand up best to Italian cigars? Or consider<br />

Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
Want to witness a miracle? Go<br />
down to the beach and watch the<br />
tiny sandpipers playing tag with<br />
the waves.<br />
Adults will have pale-gray<br />
backs and have spent June to mid-July in<br />
the high-Arctic regions of the Canadian<br />
Archipelago or northern Greenland. Now<br />
they are migrating south, some to winter at<br />
the tip of South America, a distance of 9,000<br />
miles. Quite a feat for a bird that weighs two<br />
ounces.<br />
As miraculous as this sounds, seek out<br />
the darker backed juveniles. No more than<br />
two months old, these long-distance migrants<br />
have arrived here with no guidance. “They<br />
followed the adults,” you think. No — the<br />
adults migrated first, leaving before the chicks<br />
had fledged, in the case of females. Males<br />
leave two weeks later, the kids bat cleanup,<br />
leaving as winter is closing in. Why the staggered<br />
migration? Resource allocation. Flying<br />
in shifts allows birds to use the same stopover<br />
areas without having to compete for food.<br />
How do these two-month-old birds know<br />
how and where to go? That’s the miracle I can<br />
partially answer as the brains of Sanderlings<br />
are hot-wired to migrate on routes that are<br />
largely offshore. Those that make it pass this<br />
genetic wisdom on to the next generation.<br />
Those that fail, don’t earn the privilege of<br />
breeding — remember Darwin.<br />
The real miracle is most birds migrating<br />
through Cape May are migrating for the first<br />
time. In autumn, first-year birds flood the<br />
population. Many songbirds migrate at night,<br />
trusting that come daybreak, they will be over<br />
a habitat that meets their needs. Billions of<br />
birds thread this narrow finger of land and<br />
it’s why Cape May is famous among students<br />
of birds and why protecting their habitat is<br />
paramount.<br />
Thinking about cutting back that weedy<br />
edge between you and your neighbor? Don’t.<br />
Young Common Yellowthroat or Northern<br />
Waterthrush will thank you. While neither of<br />
those are endangered, they still deserve the<br />
chance to pass their genetic dowery on. As the<br />
Passenger Pigeon and Eskimo Curlew prove,<br />
vast numbers are no buffer against extinction.<br />
These once abundant species were lost<br />
to unregulated hunting and habitat loss. The<br />
pigeon needed mature, mast producing forest<br />
and the curlew depended upon grazed prairie<br />
in Spring and the Rocky Mountain Locust,<br />
once the most abundant animal in North<br />
America and now also extinct. Humans eradicated<br />
the locust and by default, the curlew.<br />

The Answer Lady invites inquiries from<br />
gentle readers on all manner of relationship<br />
quandaries, matters of the<br />
heart and ethics. If you’d like to send<br />
a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Or,<br />
simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate<br />
the wisdom herein.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I love T-shirts but my girlfriend thinks<br />
they make me look fat and sloppy. I don’t wear<br />
them when we go out or when I go to work. I<br />
only wear them around the house. I’m tempted<br />
to tell her what I think of those skirts she’s<br />
so fond of that make her hips look like hoola<br />
hoops. I know better than to go there but one<br />
of these days I fear my mouth might get in the<br />
way of my brain. How would you handle this<br />
Answer Lady – Fashion Challenged<br />
Dear Challenged<br />
There are lines that we sometimes cross as<br />
a couple, either out of concern or out of intolerance.<br />
Your girlfriend has made her opinion<br />
known — she does not think that is a good<br />
look for you. The beauty of men is that they so<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
often don’t care. Comfort is the greater goal. At<br />
the end of the day, what you wear is your business.<br />
Perhaps a more tactful approach would<br />
be to tell her you have no intention of giving up<br />
T-shirts but if she would like to visit Galvanic<br />
and pick out some casual shirts, you’d be happy<br />
with that. As to her own fashion challenges,<br />
better to leave that one alone for now, but a gift<br />
certificate to Cotton Company might spark a<br />
shopping spree for both of you.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
It’s about the toilet seat being up. Our toddler<br />
is currently being potty-trained and my<br />
wife is insistent that on top of learning to use<br />
the big, scary commode, he also remember to<br />
put the seat down. We’ve had more than one<br />
argument about this and I feel, in this instance,<br />
I am right. I also think she is passively-aggressively<br />
trying to chastise me for my own toilet<br />
seat misdemeanors. What about it, Answer<br />
Lady? — Potty Peeved<br />
Dear Potty Peeved<br />
The Answer Lady is inclined to side with<br />
you, but suggests a compromise. Baby Steps. In<br />
this case, literally. Strongly suggest to her that<br />
you keep the focus on one goal at a time. The<br />
first goal — using the big, white porcelain eddy<br />
without fear of being sucked down into the<br />
vortex. Then — the manners that come with its<br />
use. And by the way, that rule applies to you as<br />
well. Lead by example. Now, in the meantime,<br />
all three of you need to chill out. Take a night<br />
and go to Sunset Beach. Play a round a miniature<br />
golf and enjoy the sunset. Life is short.<br />

PICO is an active boy who loves to be with<br />
people. He loves to run around the yard but<br />
quickly returns to his human for a brief pat.<br />
He has excellent leash skills and enjoys long<br />
walks. Pico lived with children in his previous<br />
home and is very affectionate. He would do<br />
best in an active household with a family willing<br />
to continue his training.<br />

ROCCO is a sensitive and sweet boy who<br />
came to the shelter when his owners could no<br />
longer care for him. He was an outside dog and<br />
is adjusting to an inside kennel at the shelter.<br />
Rocco has great leash skills but gets confused<br />
when something is thrown for him to fetch —<br />
he never learned to play with toys. He would<br />
be best in a patient home with older children.<br />

BELLA is a five-year-old, 30 lb. bundle of<br />
energy. She loves running in the yard and<br />
enjoys long walks. Bella doesn’t need constant<br />
attention and enjoys having quiet time<br />
to herself. She is uneasy with loud noises and<br />
would be best as the only pet in an active, adult<br />
household. Bella would love to be in a family<br />
that will also continue her training.<br />

SQUID is a wonderful, male cat ready to find<br />

up to date on all vaccinations. This gem is a<br />
cat adopter’s dream come true. If interested in<br />

orange and red cat and very well-behaved.<br />
Nala is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations.<br />
She would be the perfect addition to<br />
any home and will be a great companion to a<br />
loving family. If interested in adopting Nala,<br />
contact the shelter.<br />
WHISKEY is a female kitty who survived 10<br />
years outside fending for herself. Unfortunately,<br />
she went blind and became confused<br />
and scared. Kind folks who helped take care of<br />
her called the shelter to be cared for. She needs<br />
a caring and loving home with someone who<br />
understands her needs. If interested in adopting<br />
Whiskey, contact the shelter.<br />

BEZAIRE<br />
A Candidate For ALL The People<br />
Leadership Through Inclusion<br />
and Cooperation<br />
Inclusion of ALL is essential for the<br />
future success of our city. Committee<br />
appointments shall be open to all and not<br />
just a select few. Open-mindedness and<br />
the ability to compromise is essential in<br />
successfully accomplishing goals.<br />
Fiscal Responsibility<br />
You deserve clear and concise monthly<br />
updates presented at council meetings<br />
focusing on any deviations affecting the<br />
city’s financial stability. Curbing spending,<br />
increasing grants, and long-range fiscal<br />
planning are key to moving forward<br />
prudently in this economic environment.<br />
Project Timelines<br />
Make a better effort to complete capital<br />
improvement projects (such as the<br />
Lafayette Street Park and Soldiers and<br />
Sailors Park) on time and on budget.<br />
Protecting and Strengthening<br />
the City’s Historic Status<br />
While change is inevitable, we need to<br />
maintain focus on the core architectural<br />
and design standards that have protected<br />
Cape May’s National Historic Landmark<br />
Status. All upcoming projects, public and<br />
private, should be required to adhere to<br />
these standards in order to maintain the<br />
city’s Historical Designation and unique<br />
character and charm.<br />
Task Force for Pandemic<br />
Economic Recovery<br />
The city needs a vision and a formal<br />
plan for moving forward in the current<br />
pandemic environment. To aid recovery<br />
for Restaurants, Shops and Tourist<br />
Attractions, as well as Non-Profits such as<br />
Cape May MAC, Cape May Stage and the<br />
Nature Center, the city needs to help them<br />
adapt to the new normal.<br />
