Happy Fourth!<br />

Stars and stripes filled Cape May through the holiday weekend, which included the annual Fourth of July parade<br />

on Saturday, July 2. The Goldstein family celebrated alongside many other in the community who decorated their<br />

cars, golf carts and bicycles to head down Beach Avenue. More photos inside. Aleksey Moryakov

Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,<br />

maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent<br />

dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on<br />

what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked<br />

about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served<br />

us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay of the land.<br />

The place: Harpoons on the Bay on Beach Drive in North Cape May.<br />

And yes, it is right across the street from the Delaware Bay!<br />

The vibe: This is a beautiful spot and will really make you feel like<br />

you’re on vacation. We were only on our lunch break from work, but<br />

even we felt like we were away on some fun getaway. We sat outside<br />

under their canopy and were lucky to have a beautiful day with a nice<br />

breeze coming off the water. They also have an outdoor area for seating<br />

with sand to really pull together the beach vacation vibe. Plus playlist<br />

they had over the sound system was a perfect fit and made for a very<br />

enjoyable afternoon. We can’t wait to go back to catch a sunset and have<br />

a couple of drinks — every cocktail that passed by looked delicious.<br />

The server: Emily just started serving at Harpoons and she’s loving<br />

every second. “I love talking to all the people that come through and it’s<br />

a great time especially during sunset,” she says. It turns out that Harpoons<br />

is Emily’s first serving job ever, but we never would’ve known<br />

had she not mentioned it. She was wonderful and just an all-around<br />

kind person to chat with. Emily also told us that she’s a big fan of the<br />

panko-crusted onion rings. “They come on a tower, too which I think<br />

makes it so much cooler.” We couldn’t have agreed more and it definitely<br />

on the list for the next time we visit.<br />

The food: Kayla, Nicole and Emma were really excited to try a new<br />

spot, we had ordered takeout once before, but this was our first time<br />

dining at the restaurant. Kayla went for the Nashville Hot Chicken<br />

sandwich, Emma enjoyed a crab cake sandwich and Nicole was very<br />

excited to try their turkey burger — it’s hard to find a restaurant that<br />

serves them! Everything was delicious and lived up to all our expectations.<br />

All that could’ve made it better was one of those beautiful-looking<br />

cocktails... until next time.<br />

The takeaway: Harpoons on the Bay serves lunch and dinner with a<br />

side of beautiful bay views. They’re open daily and you can keep up with<br />

their live music schedule online. They also offer Happy Hour from 3-6!

Undertow<br />

Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence<br />

Leftover Whining of the Week: First,<br />

this will be my third or fourth time<br />

congratulating the Exit Zero crew<br />

on the opening of Ferry Station, the<br />

third and final nail in Jack Wright’s<br />

coffi… I mean, the third and final jewel in Jack<br />

Wright’s Infinity Gauntlet (Ferry Park), so<br />

enough of that sentimental horse hockey ( yes,<br />

I’m old enough to make Col. Henry Potter references).<br />

Turns out one column was woefully<br />

short to list all my grievances, so here is Week<br />

Two of Things That Annoyed Me Last Week.<br />

Cute as she is, I was getting a little<br />

tired of seeing DeSatnick Realty receptionist<br />

Abby Nagel every time I turned around.<br />

Thursday mornings dropping of Exit Zero at<br />

their Villas office, thrice in their Cape May<br />

office on Cool Cape May delivery day because<br />

a math error had me dropping off, picking up,<br />

then re-dropping off dozens of 33 lb. boxes.<br />

Cute AND nice. When all I wanted to do was<br />

sweat and curse. Worst of all? I was going<br />

to make an Abby Nagel/Abby Normal joke<br />

but she’s probably too young to get it. These<br />

kids today… (Young Frankenstein, Abby, it’s<br />

a Young Frankenstein joke. Just… Google it.)<br />

Passive-aggressive Plastic Bag of the<br />

Week: I became intimately educated on the<br />

care and feeding of paint roller brushes while<br />

coating the floors and walls of Ferry Station<br />

with various substances. As in, if you plan<br />

on reusing one the following day, you need<br />

to cover it with a plastic bag. Which I did. But<br />

apparently not well enough, as I found my<br />

loose, throw-it-on-there bag wound up and<br />

tightened around the handle in a very hostile<br />

manner. By, I suspect, a much more experi-<br />

enced painter who viewed my more lackadaisical<br />

bagging as akin to kicking his dog. (This<br />

is a Mike DeMusz joke. If you know Mike, this<br />

is pretty funny. If you don’t know Mike, well,<br />

at least it only took 10 seconds to read that<br />

paragraph.)<br />

Also, save up on your plastic bags, kids.<br />

They’ll be worth real money one day. Like my<br />

19 Von Hayes Rookie Cards.<br />

A week after Ferry Station opened, I was<br />

on break between sets (for the uninitiated,<br />

I am the best singer in town as long as you<br />

don’t hear any other singers on Fridays and<br />

Saturdays at Exit Zero and Mondays and<br />

Tuesdays at Ferry Station) and there, at the<br />

end of the long terminal entryway, sat a yellow<br />

mop bucket. Mocking me. I could almost hear<br />

it laughing as sharp violin music crescendo…<br />

sorry, I was just a little triggered. I mopped<br />

that floor several dozen times. It was like running<br />

into Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers.<br />

(I promise, I’ve watched movies and listened<br />

to music made after 1985, but new stuff just<br />

isn’t as good.)<br />

Here endeth the grievances.<br />

In short, I’ll come in and do<br />

any work that needs to be done<br />

because I’m a team player type<br />

of guy, but I will absolutely bitch<br />

about it loudly and publicly the<br />

whole time because I’m also a<br />

drama queen type of guy and...<br />

ow my back. Thanks for coming<br />

to my Ted Talk.<br />

Have you heard the new<br />

Hogwarts spell? EXPENSIVE<br />

PETROLEUM! (I’ll see myself<br />

out.)<br />

Tish Roussos Moment of the<br />

Week: After a lengthy layoff (not<br />

Covid, not a brain transplant, not<br />

a baby) Tish is back at Exit Zero!<br />

And gosh, Undertow has missed<br />

her so much. As she eases her<br />

way back into the workforce, I<br />

will do everything in my power to<br />

make fun of her as often as possible.<br />

Welcome back, Tish!<br />

Dropped off magazines at<br />

Evolution Salon & Spa and stylist<br />

Scott Mann commented, “A little<br />

late today, huh?” Indeed, I was, as<br />

they were delivered to US a little<br />

later than usual. I began explaining<br />

the ripple effect of 15 minutes<br />

at 7am turning into an hour at<br />

10am as traffic in the outlying<br />

areas of my route, especially Rio<br />

Grande, Villas and North Cape<br />

May, gets thicker by the minute.<br />

He cut me off mid-sentence, as<br />

sharp as he would cut off my hair<br />

if I had any. (I kid, of course.<br />

Scott’s a good dude, I just wanted<br />

to make that really long-winded<br />

bald joke.)<br />

The Cape Harbor Shell<br />

restroom was, as ever, impeccably<br />

clean and sanitary Thursday<br />

morning. At least, it WAS…<br />

A once-in-a-century Unholy<br />

Trinity formed last Thursday night<br />

when the entirety of the Cabal<br />

of World’s Friendliest Stalkers<br />

converged upon Exit Zero Filling<br />

Station: Alex and Lynn Sosik,<br />

Wendy and Randy Redelico,<br />

Mike and Pam DelFranco. They<br />

ate and drank, a couple of them<br />

sang, and they filled our tip jar.<br />

The devils! (Undertow loves them<br />

all very much, but it really was a<br />

little weird they all appeared on<br />

the same night. I smell a Stranger<br />

Things 5 plotline.)<br />

As karmic pre-payback for<br />

this joke, I accidentally tipped<br />

myself a fake $5 bill after this<br />

gig. The universe, she does have a<br />

sense of humor.<br />

Apparently they set a new<br />

record at EZFS on Saturday,<br />

serving 666 guests and confirming<br />

what we all already knew;<br />

manager Katie Dowe is the devil.<br />

(Also, congratulations. Is this a<br />

good time to ask for a raise?)<br />

If you went to a medium-to-minimum<br />

security prison<br />

on some minor, white-collar<br />

crime for, say 2-4 years, and that<br />

prison had a grocery store, that<br />

grocery store would be the Aldi’s<br />

in Rio Grande.<br />

My agent called. Just to talk.<br />

Got into my truck the other<br />

night to find a discarded, bloody<br />

bandage on the floor. Now, I like<br />

to take a drink now and then (all<br />

the time), but not to the point of<br />

forgetting where and when I was<br />

wearing a bloody bandage, unless<br />

I lost, like, a whole week or something.<br />

So… the game is afoot!<br />

Thank You of the Week: To<br />

WCFA 101.5. I’ve not been commenting<br />

quite as much on all the<br />

great songs they play for me on<br />

Thursday mornings (if you’re a<br />

fan of 80s New Wave and alternative,<br />

tune in 7-11am), but it really<br />

is appreciated. To wit, check out<br />

the BMX Bandits song “I Wanna<br />

Fall in Love,” a fantastic song that<br />

should have been a smash but<br />

now you only get to hear on stations<br />

like WCFA.<br />

What the Hell of the Week:<br />

I’m not giving numbers because<br />

they’re too embarrassing, but<br />

after multiple seven-plus day<br />

work weeks, I hit a new low for<br />

2022. Had one day off Sunday,<br />

had two reasonable meals, and<br />

woke up eight pounds heavier.<br />

I punched a wall, went to work,<br />

came home and was five-and-ahalf<br />

pounds lighter. I mean…<br />

’Til next week, don’t get<br />

caught in The Undertow.

If you didn’t love Harold Ramis, and<br />

you don’t admire Jason Reitman, then<br />

you may not have been moved by<br />

Ghostbusters Afterlife. The movie isn’t<br />

new — it was released in 2021. It was<br />

recently announced that there will be a sequel<br />

to the reboot in theaters by December 2023. It<br />

only appears on the paid subscription channel<br />

Starz, so if you didn’t see it when it was in<br />

theaters it may be a challenge to catch.<br />

Reitman’s work has been the subject of<br />

many reviews here, but I don’t think I’ve really<br />

taken the time to express my fondness toward<br />

him. Let’s talk about his directing credits.<br />

That’s where I was impressed by him the<br />

most. OK, can’t gush on about Caddyshack<br />

(his directorial debut in 1980), which gets a<br />

few laughs but is kind of unwatchable today.<br />

Watch it this weekend and tell me I’m wrong.<br />

He had only 14 director credits, and he didn’t<br />

bat a thousand. But he did better than the<br />

average of most ballplayers today.<br />

Ramis has three notable directing credits<br />

to his name. Stuart Saves His Family (1995) is<br />

The Movie Column<br />

By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />

a touching look at life inside a dysfunctional<br />

family. Analyze This (1999) starred Robert De<br />

Niro as a gangster with issues and Billy Crystal<br />

as his therapist. But his masterpiece in direction<br />

is Groundhog Day (1993), a fantasy comedy<br />

which is often noted in my top 10 favorite<br />

movies of all time. It tells the story of a narcissistic<br />

news reporter who is trapped in the<br />

same day over and over. Ramis is also given<br />

credit for the screenplay along with Danny<br />

Rubin. The main character in Ghostbusters<br />

Afterlife is Phoebe (Mckenna Grace), granddaughter<br />

of the original character portrayed<br />

by Ramis. She resembles him a lot, a result of<br />

expert casting and make up. That set me in a<br />

good mood. It is in the end sequence that true<br />

fans of the director are moved. I don’t want<br />

to spoil anything, because I really hope people<br />

watch this movie, but I will say that they<br />

honor the memory of Ramis in a way that stirs<br />

the imagination.<br />

Reitman has several notable films to his<br />

credit. He is the son of Ivan Reitman, one of<br />

the creators of the original Ghostbusters. He<br />

only has seven more director credits than<br />

Ramis with four Oscar nominations. His<br />

treatment of this storyline is far better than<br />

many of the other movies in this franchise —<br />

maybe even better than the original. Take the<br />

time to take in Ghostbusters Afterlife. It’s a film<br />

that proves there is life in many ways even<br />

after all these years. Let me know what you<br />

think by email at flixyoumissed@gmail.com<br />

after you watch.<br />

New Show At SOMA<br />

The NewArt Gallery announces third art exhibition of the 2022 season<br />

SOMA NewArt Gallery announces its<br />

third art exhibition of the 2022 season,<br />

featuring three regional solo<br />

artists. “Unbound” by Jim Inzero,<br />

“Summer Smiles” by Monica Nask and<br />

“Anachronism” by Gary Schwartz will be on<br />

display July 16 to August 14.<br />

Inzero’s encaustic painting method utilizes<br />

beeswax mixed with pigment and fused with<br />

heat — he manipulates the wax pigment to create<br />

paintings that glow with diffused light and<br />

exude a powerful yet serene effect. Nask’s goal<br />

is to capture the spirit of what she sees and uses<br />

vibrant colors to communicate the feelings felt<br />

by the seaside. Schwarts explores the theme of<br />

anachronistic imagery, specifically morphing<br />

Kodachrome color slides of the 19th through<br />

21st centuries.<br />

Art lovers are invited to attend an Opening<br />

Artist Reception on Saturday, July 16 from 6<br />

to 9pm. SOMA is located at 31 Perry Street in<br />

Carpenters Square Mall, Cape May. For more<br />

information, please contact the gallery by<br />

emailing stevesomagallery@gmail.com.<br />

“Day Out” by Jim Inzero and more can be seen at the gallery beginning July 16.<br />

Bird Droppings<br />

Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />

Once you’ve crisped yourself at the<br />

beach and scoped out the mall, consider<br />

broadening your Cape May<br />

experience by going on a Cape May<br />

Bird Observatory field trip. Yes, it<br />

will mean having to rise before noon. Up with<br />

the birds you know, but CMBO’s leisurely<br />

paced, information-packed “field trips,” are<br />

bound to open your eyes to a whole new parallel<br />

universe of discovery and wonder.<br />

For North America’s 45 million bird<br />

watchers, every day is a treasure hunt. It’s<br />

Pokémon Go for real and every new bird species<br />

you engage by sight or sound becomes<br />

another token of achievement, a feather in<br />

your cap. And the adventure only begins in<br />

Cape May, North America’s most famous bird<br />

watching destination.<br />

Here are some fundamental dos and<br />

don’ts. Arrive early and let the leaders know<br />

you are new to this. They’ll offer you added<br />

support to help locate target species. Wellbehaved<br />

children are welcome and those<br />

under 15 are free, otherwise there is a $10 fee.<br />

Stay close to the leader so you can hear<br />

their directions to birds but do not walk ahead<br />

of the leader. Stop when they stop and try to<br />

avoid shuffling your feet in gravel or leaves.<br />

Your leader has heard a bird and is trying to<br />

locate the vocalist. Yes, heard birds count on<br />

your tally. For some species, like the raucous,<br />

buffoonish, Yellow-breasted Chat, the song is<br />

the best part, a run-on series of toots, whistles,<br />

chatters, snorts and squeals. Another<br />

local vocalist is Prairie Warbler, whose buzzy<br />

song rises in pitch. Mostly yellow with black<br />

goggles around the eyes, Prairie Warblers<br />

habitually pump their tails and like to sing<br />

from the topmost branches of a cedar or<br />

shrub. Other birds like Indigo Bunting have<br />

more complex vocalizations — a series of loud<br />

clear, paired whistles, phonetically rendered,<br />

“What, what? Where? Where? See it, see it.”<br />

Males are an eye-searing blue and if your field<br />

trip leader gets you onto one, the summer sky<br />

hues will blow you back to a brain stem.<br />

Vivid colors and arresting vocalizations<br />

are just two of the reasons to watch birds.<br />

Bird watching is a hobby enjoyed by a broad<br />

cross-section of society and it is open to anyone<br />

no matter your age, political disposition,<br />

or belt size. Me? I started birding at the age<br />

of 7 to get away from adults. It worked for<br />

years and then, unaccountably, bird watching<br />

became North America’s fastest growing<br />

outdoor activity. Binoculars and a field guide<br />

are all you need to gain access into this world<br />

of discovery.<br />

The Activity Column<br />

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, celebrate the Fourth of July!<br />

Sometimes it seems that Independence<br />

Day comes a little too soon. June is<br />

busy with weddings, Father’s Day,<br />

proms, graduations, recitals and tournaments<br />

— sometimes we barely have<br />

time to think about summer before the fireworks<br />

are over. Don’t worry — in Cape May,<br />

you can enjoy that Fourth of July feeling all<br />

summer long.<br />

Celebrate some of the other important<br />

dates in the summer of 1776. On July 8, the<br />

document was read to New Jerseyans for the<br />

first time, from the steps of a Trenton courthouse.<br />

By August 2, most of the colonies had<br />

ratified the Declaration. Mark September 9,<br />

when the new nation’s name officially became<br />

the “United States.” If you really need fireworks,<br />

you can find them on the Wildwood<br />

Boardwalk every Friday night at 10pm. For a<br />

taste of America’s military history, visit the<br />

Naval Air Station Wildwood Museum, located<br />

in a World War Two hangar at the Cape May<br />

Airport, 500 Forrestal Road. Featuring<br />

hands-on exhibits and fun activities, this<br />

rainy-day stalwart is a treat when the heat is<br />

getting to you. Admission is $14 for adults, $10<br />

for children, and free to active-duty military<br />

with discounts for veterans. Hours are 10 to 4<br />

daily. Visit usnasw.org for more information.<br />

Read the Declaration of Independence<br />

aloud, even if it’s only to the mirror. From preamble<br />

to “sacred honor,” this artful argument<br />

will remind you that our imperfect union is<br />

worth continuing to fight for. Or, read from<br />

the Federalist papers. Take the kids to the<br />

library for books about the nation’s founding<br />

— a classic like “Johnny Tremain,” or a picture<br />

book like “The Declaration of Independence<br />

from A to Z.” Host a movie night — watch<br />

Stripes for fun, or All the President’s Men for a<br />

serious look at the fragility of democracy.<br />

Help a Hamilton-loving teen research the history<br />

behind the lyrics — our treasury department<br />

really is intriguing. Sing “America the<br />

Beautiful” or learn to play a period song, like<br />

“Yankee Doodle,” on your favorite instrument.<br />

Play patriotic marching music to help your<br />

chores fly by.<br />

Pack a proper beach picnic, complete with<br />

a basket, cutlery, and a gingham tablecloth —<br />

your favorite Cape May restaurant can supply<br />

the food. Add candles to impress your friends<br />

on social media. Or stock up on essentials<br />

at Acme and fire up the grill for a traditional<br />

feast of burgers and dogs. Sip a drink at Ferry<br />

Park and contemplate the right to interstate<br />

travel, enshrined in the Constitution, as the<br />

ferry glides back and forth to the first state.<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 />

My fiancé and I are set to be married next<br />

fall, hoping to wait a year after the wedding<br />

to buy a house. We then panicked that we<br />

might not find anything in our price range<br />

and started looking. We found a house which<br />

we are closing on next month. My problem is<br />

we spent wedding money on the house with<br />

more to be spent once we move in. I want to<br />

scale back the wedding. My fiancé disagrees<br />

and maintains we’ll get enough money from<br />

the guests to recoup the costs. I think that is<br />

speculative at best. What do you think? —<br />

Worried Groom<br />

Dear Worried<br />

Sometimes the best approach is a visual<br />

one. Write down the budget for the wedding.<br />

The Answer Lady<br />

Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />

Take a look. The price of the wedding has<br />

escalated anyway given the supply chaininflation<br />

issues we are experiencing. Try to<br />

compromise. Cut the guest list by 10 percent.<br />

It is also not untoward to suggest on your<br />

Facebook wedding page that a monetary gift<br />

would be appreciated given the change in your<br />

circumstances. Now, stop worrying. Pop over<br />

to Sunset Liquors. Get a bottle of champagne<br />

and toast to the beginning of your life together.<br />

Dear Answer Lady<br />

My boyfriend of seven years broke up<br />

with me a year ago but because he couldn’t<br />

find a rental, never moved out. Now we have<br />

morphed into friends with benefits. We<br />

have never had an argument and have a lot<br />

in common. He also never really said why we<br />

broke up. He is the same age as my daughter,<br />

but he has always maintained that had nothing<br />

to do with it. I was willing to go along with this<br />

until now. Now I want him to commit or move<br />

out, but how do I say that without sounding<br />

demanding? — Wanting More<br />

Dear Wanting<br />

Demanding? The Answer Lady is<br />

rolling her eyes. You deserve to be more<br />

than a convenience. He needs to deal with<br />

his mommy issues. You are the adult in the<br />

room, stop enabling it. The Answer Lady<br />

sees a dinner at Harbor View in your future.<br />

Approach it in a loving way. Tell him it is not<br />

good for either of you to continue down this<br />

road. Tell him you’ll understand and will help<br />

him find a place to live, but if it’s over, it’s over.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />

Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />

MAY came to the shelter as a stray and<br />

although she is nervous at first with new people,<br />

she will warm up after some time. She is<br />

a sweet and gentle girl who loves to wander<br />

around the yard, but not a big fan of toys. May<br />

is new to walking on a leash, but learning. She<br />

would be best in a family with older children<br />

and a slow introduction to cats and dogs.<br />

WENTZ was surrendered to the shelter when<br />

his owner could no longer take care of him.<br />

This handsome four-year-old boy is shy at<br />

first, but when he warms up to you, he becomes<br />

very affectionate. Wentz has excellent leash<br />

manners and loves a brisk walk. He would do<br />

best in a home that allows him patience and a<br />

slow introduction to cats and dogs.<br />

PARKER was found wandering along the<br />

Garden State Parkway. He is a very happy boy<br />

who has a great deal of energy. Parker loves<br />

to play fetch in the yard and his leash skills<br />

are wonderful which help with his desire for<br />

long walks. Older children would be best for<br />

Parker’s new family and he would be good in a<br />

home with other dogs and cats.<br />
