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 />

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 />
