’Tis The Season<br />
The Emlen Physick Estate kicked off the holiday season in Cape May with their tree-lighting ceremony on Saturday,<br />

stage and celebrated the most wonderful time of the year. 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: Dan and Nicole had just arrived back in town from a<br />
weekend at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania to see the Christmas lights —<br />
check them out if you’re making holiday plans — and cooking was not<br />
an option. We thought 5 West Pub in North Cape May would be a great<br />
spot to pick up some dinner.<br />
The vibe: It wasn’t a terribly busy Sunday night when we arrived,<br />
but boy was that bar full for some football. The sounds was on and the<br />
beer was flowing. 5 West has the NFL ticket and seven big screens to<br />
watch the games. They also offer weekly specials, making them a great<br />
football headquarters this season.<br />
The West Pole: 5 West has some festive plans this holiday season<br />
out on their patio. The West Pole kicks off Friday, November 25 with live<br />
music from 6:30-9:30pm and a local vendor to shop from 5-9pm. The<br />
music and vendors change each weekend with something new every<br />
night. The patio will be open 4-11pm these nights — their full schedule<br />
of music and vendors can be seen on their Facebook page.<br />
The food: It took almost no time looking over the menu to decide<br />
what we wanted. Nicole was dying for their meatballs appetizer (served<br />
with garlic bread, which she forgot about but was THRILLED to find.)<br />
For dinner, Nicole enjoyed a delicious turkey club which they PACKED<br />
with roasted turkey — we love a think sandwich over here. Dan went<br />
with the 5 West burger which he’s never had before. It was definitely a<br />
good choice... *see the cheese wiz mustache he acquired within the 35<br />
seconds it took him to devour it.* 10/10 recommend for the meal and<br />
how quickly it was ready.<br />
The takeaway: 5 West Pub is open Tue-Sun from 11:30am to<br />
10pm with live music Wed-Sun 6 to 9pm. They’re a great local spot on<br />
Bayshore Road and open year-round. Check out their happy hour menu<br />
online and celebrate the holidays with them every weekend at the West<br />
Pole — you might catch a few of your favorite vendors out the patio to<br />
grab a few Christmas gifts for friends and family.

Undertow<br />
Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence<br />
It took nine weeks, but it was nice to<br />
finally see all those Facebook Cowboys<br />
fans crawl out from under their rocks to<br />
talk smack on the Eagles. I get it. They<br />
haven’t been relevant since Bush was in<br />
office, but I really hope they find a way to claw<br />
their way to nine wins (which the Eagles have<br />
currently) and eke into the playoffs so we can<br />
beat them by 30 in the first round.<br />
After my expert armchair managing of<br />
both the Eagles (whom I predicted would<br />
make the Super Bowl, which is going to happen<br />
so don’t worry) and Phillies (whom I predicted<br />
would get their act together and make<br />
the World Series) I now implore the 76ers to<br />
PLEASE do whatever they can to pry Kevin<br />
Durant from the Nets because the team, as<br />
currently constructed, is easily the worst of<br />
the post-Process era and, less forgivable, the<br />
most boring. And, if you think the coach isn’t<br />
the problem, I suggest you take a look across<br />
the parking lot at the local baseball team and<br />
what they did after jettisoning their coach.<br />
Phillies Off-Season Wish List: Trea<br />
Turner at shortstop, a top-end starter so<br />
we don’t have to go into GAME FOUR OF<br />
THE WORLD SERIES WONDERING WHO’S<br />
GOING TO PITCH and 100% take a flyer on<br />
Cody Bellinger as a 1B/OF sub-in while Bryce<br />
Harper recovers from arm surgery. If anyone<br />
can remind him how to hit, it’s Kevin Long.<br />
After four good-faith attempts, I’m giving<br />
up on trying to get into Yellowstone. Feels to me<br />
like Dallas in a different skin with no one near<br />
as oily and charming as J.R. Ewing.<br />
Boy Do I Feel Like A Jerk of the Week (I<br />
could actually use this headline every week in<br />
Undertow, but for this week it’s…): A couple<br />
of times over the last few years I’ve poked fun<br />
at the plywood fireman cut-outs on Lincoln<br />
Avenue as you head towards the ferry, how<br />
they look like something out of a children’s<br />
bad dream, the way the paint is fading, and<br />
the wood is eroding. Well, Saturday, while<br />
checking out at the North Cape May Acme,<br />
our kindly cashier asked, “Do you remember<br />
your article?’ I braced myself as this is not<br />
generally how a HAPPY conversation starts,<br />
and answered, “Yes, which one?” “The one<br />
about the plywood firemen…” she continued<br />
and explained that it was her house I’d been<br />
picking on. She couldn’t bear to take them<br />
down and fix them up, she explained, as they<br />
are there in honor of her late husband, Chester<br />
Czescik, a former Philadelphia fireman. So,<br />
while I feel like a smacked-ass for poking fun<br />
at a memorial, I was at least able to let Mary<br />
Lou tell me about Chester. The universe, man.<br />
I want to like this new Will Ferrell-Ryan<br />

Will Ferrell movie before.<br />
While driving in to Cape May<br />
to visit my wife, Cathrine, at West<br />
End Garage where she and Cindy<br />
Benigno were representing Cape<br />
Island Foods on West Cape May<br />
Hospitality night, I was lucky<br />
to catch Cathrine’s version of<br />
“Dream A Little Dream” on the<br />
radio at 101.5 WCFA. This is the<br />
third song I’ve heard in the wild<br />
since recording our show with<br />
Annie Walsh in September. Two<br />
Cathrine, one Terry. I’m sensing<br />
a little bias here. Though, in fairness,<br />
everyone likes her better.<br />
Speaking of lovely local lady<br />
singers, local chanteuse Maddie<br />
Hogan’s new song, “Beautiful<br />
Temporary,” is out now on all the<br />
usual places you listen to and buy<br />
music. There’s even a cute music<br />
video on YouTube though, disappointingly,<br />
she is not in her pajamas.<br />
(Congratulations, Maddie!)<br />
I can always tell when someone<br />
has slept in my bed. The delicate<br />
arrangements of my blankets<br />
and pillows just feels a bit… off.<br />
And if you’re scoffing at me for<br />
having a delicate arrangement of<br />
blankets and pillows in my bed<br />
you know damn well you have<br />
one, too, so stop your fooling.<br />
I wanted to see Where The<br />
Crawdads Sing in the theater but<br />
missed out, so I was excited to<br />
catch it on Netflix the other night<br />
and… I’m glad I didn’t waste my<br />
money. It’s not bad. Exactly. It’s<br />
just… not good. I wanted Fried<br />
Green Tomatoes-level female-centric<br />
Oscar bait, what I got was a<br />
gussied-up Lifetime movie. You<br />
could set your watch by the predictable<br />
“shocking” plot twists.<br />
Speaking of Not-Good movies,<br />
wew lad was Black Panther:<br />
Wakanda Forever a slog. After a<br />
touching first 15 minutes that<br />
paid fitting tribute to Chadwick<br />
Boseman, for the next two-plus<br />
hours I kept waiting for something<br />
to happen. I mean, stuff<br />
happened, there were scenes and<br />
costumes and acting and stuff,<br />
but none of it really meant anything.<br />
And, while I’m certainly no<br />
Adonis, I feel like the guy playing<br />
Prince Namor could have hit the<br />
gym a few times before filming<br />
began. I mean, Chris Pratt and<br />
Paul Rudd got totally ripped for<br />
their Marvel turns. Anyway, not<br />
recasting T’Challa was a fatal<br />
mistake. I hated this movie.<br />
But I didn’t hate every movie<br />
I saw this week. I loved Weird: The<br />
Al Yankovic Story on Roku. I had no<br />
idea what to expect and what I got<br />
was a delightful, Airplane-esque<br />
take on the man who brought us<br />
“Like A Surgeon” and “Eat It.”<br />
Daniel Radcliffe (whose casting,<br />
I think, was part of the joke) goes<br />
full bore as the title character and<br />
there are about 100 great cameos<br />
that will have you pausing and<br />
rewinding. Weird is wonderful.<br />
Stanley Tucci (Shall We<br />
Dance) is a great actor. David<br />
Tennant (Broadchurch) is a great<br />
actor. Their Netflix show, Inside<br />
Man, is not great. As a two-hour<br />
movie I might have bought into it.<br />
At four episodes it felt stretched<br />
beyond reason. There’s a great,<br />
meaty, Hannibal Lecter-type role<br />
out there for Tucci. This is not it.<br />
(Stanley Tucci and I once auditioned<br />
for the same part. He got it<br />
and earned an Oscar nod. I didn’t<br />
and watched him at the Oscars.<br />
So who is the real winner here?)<br />
Lastly this week, after a<br />
four-year/five-summer run, my<br />
weekend musical residency at<br />
Exit Zero has come to an end.<br />
Thank you to Jerry Kolber, Dave<br />
Hughes and Cathrine O’Brien<br />
for standing up there with me.<br />
And Tim Joyce for getting it all<br />
started. Hundreds of gigs, thousands<br />
of songs, and I enjoyed<br />
singing every one of them for<br />
you. The Terry O’Brien Trio is<br />
at the Brown Room at Congress<br />
Hall on Sunday, November 27,<br />
12-4pm, then make our Mudhen<br />
debut on February 4. Aside from a<br />
couple of private Christmas parties,<br />
every date before, after and<br />
in-between is open. Adult music<br />
for adults in stunning harmony.<br />
’Til next week, don’t get<br />
caught in The Undertow.

Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
Cape May hosts some special gift of<br />
the season every month. November<br />
means vultures, more specifically,<br />
the great rafts of migrating Turkey<br />
Vultures that dominate the sky over<br />
the Hawk Watch Platform. Those other late<br />
seasons have their hopes pinned on seeing<br />
a Golden Eagle. Not me. My sights are calibrated<br />
for vultures, wobbling across the sky,<br />
like dark bodied, silver winged clipper ships.<br />
Some people consider them loathsome.<br />
Their dietary focus on carrion seems ghoulish<br />
to many. But without vultures, all those<br />
road-killed deer would turn roadsides into an<br />
ungulate necropolis. Standing over some carcass,<br />
the vulture is an unlovely hunch-backed,<br />
shuffling apparition. But when the broadwinged<br />
birds take to the air, they move with<br />
poetic grace. Tight-rope walkers in the sky.<br />
Daunted by the 12 miles of thermal<br />
impoverished bay, 100s of vultures may gather<br />
over the lighthouse waiting for some bold<br />
vulture to lead the way. Most choose to turn<br />
north and circumnavigate the bay. And some<br />
return to try it again under more favorable<br />
winds. Vultures also make great bellwethers.<br />
Their dark bodies and massed ranks catch<br />
the eye. Scanning through their ranks, hawk<br />
watchers are able to locate the smaller paler<br />
hawks that are taking advantage of the vulture’s<br />
thermal finding skills.<br />
Despite their structural and behavioral<br />
similarities, vultures are not ranked among<br />
the birds of prey. North America’s three vul-<br />
ture species, Turkey, Black and California<br />
Condor are more closely related to storks<br />
whose heads, like vultures, are featherless.<br />
Condors have not been in New Jersey since<br />
the last ice sheet left town but Black Vulture, a<br />
southeastern resident, moved into our region<br />
20 years ago and stick around all year.<br />
Except for their red heads and horn-colored<br />
bills, Turkey Vultures resemble the noble<br />
wild turkey, but where turkeys strut, vultures<br />
hop. Black Vultures have gray heads and short<br />
tails. In mixed flocks the smaller size of Black<br />
Vulture is immediately apparent as is its hurried<br />
wing beat. Turkey Vultures are more<br />
tranquil aloft, their wings uplifted as if moved<br />
to prayer.<br />
Roosting vultures may spread their wings<br />
to absorb the sun’s rays. Highly thermal<br />
dependent, on overcast days the birds may<br />
not forage at all. It is the limited hours of winter<br />
sunlight that sets the northern limits of the<br />
vulture’s range. So if the skies are clear and<br />
the winds northerly, why not saunter down to<br />
the hawk watch and catch the vulture parade.<br />

What do you do with the upper<br />
hand? Have you ever had the<br />
upper hand, you know where you<br />
clearly have control over another<br />
person or a situation? What do<br />
you do? What would you do? For some, it’s a<br />
cause for celebration — and a call to protect<br />
the upper hand no matter what the cost. For<br />
others, it’s a time to lend a hand up — a call for<br />
compassion or forgiveness.<br />
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has been one<br />
of the most anticipated releases of the year. In<br />
many ways, the film centers on the question<br />
“What do you do with the upper hand?” In the<br />
story, the ultra-powerful material vibranium<br />
gives the country of Wakanda an upper hand<br />
on the world stage. It is a coveted metal that<br />
has other world powers searching for it, which<br />
leads to the depths of the ocean. That’s where<br />
the troubles begin.<br />
The film does more than feature a moving<br />
tribute to the first Black Panther (King<br />
T’Challa), played by the incomparable<br />
Chadwick Boseman — it is steeped in his<br />
The Movie Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
memory. The Oscar-nominated actor died<br />
in 2020 at 43. He left behind a body of work<br />
including several impressive biopics of major<br />
figures in history. He was as noble as the<br />
regal character he played in the first Black<br />
Panther film. Hear my podcast about Boseman<br />
by selecting the link at the website www.<br />
flixyoumissed.com.<br />
Wakanda is confronted with a formidable<br />
enemy under the sea. His name is Namor,<br />
and fans of the comic book have been waiting<br />
for this conflicted hero to be adapted in the<br />
movies. And Namor delivers. His winged feet,<br />
speed and agility are all depicted boldly in this<br />
film. His presence is worth the price of admission<br />
— as is the rise of a new Black Panther.<br />
No spoilers here, most of this is in the trailer.<br />
Namor is played by Tenoch Huerta, a<br />
Mexican actor with many film credits from his<br />
home country. Letitia Wright plays Shuri, the<br />
sister of T’Challa. Angela Basset plays Shuri’s<br />
mother, the queen. The cast turns in amazing<br />
work with costumes from Ruth Carter, who<br />
will no doubt receive another Oscar nomination<br />
(she won for her work in the first film).<br />
What do we do with the upper hand?<br />
Some see it as a time to oppress and dominate.<br />
This can take centuries in unraveling<br />
and reconciling profoundly tragic injustice.<br />
Others see the upper hand as a time to teach<br />
and support — to raise the standard for equity<br />
and kindness. This sequel is an example of<br />
a franchise that gained the upper hand and<br />
leveraged it for even more.<br />

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, get crafty!<br />
Something happens when the clocks<br />
change. Experts say we don’t need<br />
more sleep during the darker days of<br />
the year, but many adults sleep an<br />
“extra” hour nightly from November<br />
to February. There’s nothing wrong with that<br />
as long as you’re generally sleeping between<br />
7 and 9 hours, but it can make you feel as if<br />
you do nothing but work and sleep. Consider<br />
taking up a craft to get you through the winter.<br />
A new hobby, preferably performed<br />
by a bright light in the evening, can help<br />
you embrace the darkness. Crafting boosts<br />
self-confidence, because you — eventually —<br />
end up with a finished product. It’s meditative,<br />
and helps to reduce stress. Most crafts involve<br />
fine motor skills, which keep your brain and<br />
fingers nimble. You’ll get frustrated, but be<br />
patient with yourself, and don’t be afraid to<br />
redo something if you make a mistake. Don’t<br />
be too ambitious — if you’re a true beginner,<br />
now is not the time to start a complicated<br />
craft for a Christmas gift, so you might pick<br />
a Valentine’s theme. Don’t be too hesitant,<br />
either — you can do a lot with that extra hour.<br />
Consider revisiting a craft from your<br />
childhood, like model cars or seashell crafts.<br />
Start with a visit to the toy store for a kit<br />
aimed at children. Many crafts begin with a<br />
trip to Swain’s — they have plain garland you<br />
can enhance, glue to attach your seashells to<br />
a piece of driftwood, wire to hang your creations<br />
and spray paint to turn a garage sale<br />
find into a work of art. Visit Stitch by Stitch at<br />
315 Ocean Street to explore this year’s hottest<br />
craft — cross stitch. Counted cross stitch is<br />
said to be the best place for newcomers, but<br />
their experts can help you decide where to<br />
begin, and they can help you display your<br />
finished project. Consider knitting or crocheting<br />
with the help of YouTube videos and<br />
a curbside pickup from Fiber Arts Yarn Shop,<br />
24 Route 47 South, Cape May Courthouse.<br />
They offer a basic kit for beginners along with<br />
a knit superhero kit that’s way more fun than<br />
the traditional beginner’s scarf or dishcloth.<br />
Shop online at fiberartsyarnshop.com. Or try<br />
Enchanted Fiber at 3704 Bayshore Road in<br />
North Cape May for quilting supplies.<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 brother and I have never gotten along<br />
and once my parents died, I cut ties with him.<br />
The problem is that other family members<br />
keep pressuring me to make up with him. It’s<br />
not going to happen. He is not a nice person<br />
and has taken advantage of vulnerable women<br />
most of his life, including my mother, my<br />
sisters, and some very trusting and wealthy<br />
women who were in the midst of break-ups<br />
when they met him. I want it to stop. What<br />
would you suggest? — Not Buying It<br />
Dear Not Buying<br />
The Answer Lady suggests you inform<br />
your siblings and family that it is best for<br />
everyone that you and your brother give each<br />
other space. Avoid any holiday confrontations<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
and host a small family dinner, for those whom<br />
you want to see, at a restaurant. Tisha’s would<br />
be an excellent choice as well as The Lookout<br />
or The Cricket Club. Restaurants are often<br />
a buffer against any “scenes” that may be<br />
festering. Don’t be surprised if the prodigal<br />
brother shows up. If so, be cordial and know<br />
that you have the luxury of paying the bill<br />
at the end of the meal and leaving on some<br />
pretext or other, wishing everyone a “Merry<br />
Christmas and Goodnight.”<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
My best friend is looking for a new beau.<br />
Her last was an idiot with a great body — a total<br />
gym rat. He was nice, but a bad fit for my friend<br />
who has a high-powered job and a future. He<br />
was incapable of carrying a conversation and<br />
I was thrilled when HE broke it off with her.<br />
Now she’s showing me pictures of the same<br />
type of person. Is there nothing I can say to<br />
convince her that she deserves more than just<br />
a hot bod? — Concerned<br />
Dear Concerned<br />
There’s nothing you can say. The Answer<br />
Lady is sure you have made your feelings<br />
known. In terms of the BFF contract, you have<br />
fulfilled your obligations. Now be supportive.<br />
If she’s smart enough to keep a “high-powered”<br />
job, she can sort the rest out when she’s ready.<br />
Maybe she wants casual or likes a trophy guy.<br />
If she’s happy, you should be too. Now, forget<br />
it all and take her to Cape May Winery for a<br />
wine tasting and a cheese platter. Toast to your<br />
friendship, through thick and thin.<br />

DARLA is a sweet girl who loves to be with<br />
people and is eager to spend time with her<br />
humans. Her family loved her but could no<br />
longer take care of her. She is great with children<br />
and has a gentle demeanor, but lots of<br />
energy. Darla is brushing up on her manners<br />
and leash skills. She would be best with a slow<br />
introduction to dogs and cats.<br />
MONEY is a handsome and happy two-yearold<br />
boy. He came to the shelter when his<br />
owner could no longer care for him. Money<br />
loves running in the yard and is slowly learning<br />
what to do with his toys. He has excellent<br />
leash manners and is very treat motivated<br />
making any training easy and fun. He needs a<br />
slow introduction to other dogs and cats.<br />
GHOST RIDER came to the shelter as a stray<br />
but has learned to warm up quickly to the<br />
humans in his life. He is a young dog and<br />
learning manners which are improving daily.<br />
Ghost Rider would need a slow introduction<br />
to other dogs and cats before he’s comfortable.<br />
He would be a wonderful companion to anyone<br />
that opens their heart to him.<br />

is believed to have been picked up by a hawk<br />
at one point and is in need of a safe and loving<br />
home. He is very shy but is warming up<br />
to people with time. Jake would do well in a<br />
home with other cats.<br />
MATILDA is about five years old and was left<br />
in a neighborhood begging for food for nearly<br />
two weeks. Animal Control was called, and<br />
they brought her to the shelter. She is now in<br />
