West Cape May held their annual Lima Bean Festival on Saturday, October 7 at Backyard Park. Food trucks and local<br />
vendors set up stands offering jewelry, artwork, fall decor and the day’s star — lima beans! Lin, Kaitlyn and Carol of<br />
Rea’s Farm had baskets overflowing with fresh produce, including the lowly legume. More inside. Aleksey Moryakov

PUMPKIN PANCAKES HAVE ARRIVED<br />
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: The Blue Pig Tavern at Congress Hall in the heart of Cape<br />
May’s Historic District. We grabbed a table on their outdoor patio under<br />
the sun on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. It wasn’t too busy, and we<br />
were seated right away, unsurprising considering the time of year and<br />
a miweek day out.<br />
The conversation: Jack, Courtney, Kayla and Nicole enjoyed a lunch<br />
meeting to chat about some exciting marketing plans in the works, one<br />
of which is our very large and very fabulous Exit Zero anniversary book<br />
coming next summer. This book will be a pictorial history of Cape May<br />
and so much of the best Exit Zero magazine has published over the last<br />
21 years. Inside you’ll see photos from the openings of some of Cape<br />
May finest restaurants, weddings, high school reunions, and plenty of<br />
beach photos from over the years. You also have an opportunity to have<br />
your personal message included in this incredible book. Memorialize<br />
your favorite Cape May memory — a funny moment from a vacation, a<br />
tradition you had with your grandparents as a child, or why you retired<br />
here. We want you to remember WHY you love Cape May. This book is<br />
going to be HUGE, check out more at exitzero.store.<br />
The food: Wouldn’t be a lunch meeting without some delicious<br />
food. Jack and Nicole started with their soup of the day — a sweet<br />
potato bisque before digging into fish and chips and a chicken Caesar<br />
salad, respectively. Courtney and Kayla both enjoyed a grilled chicken<br />
wrap with feta, olive tapenade and hummus. Kayla also indulged with<br />
some fries while Courtney stuck to a side salad. We boxed up a few<br />
things before heading back to the office — it was both a tasty and productive<br />
afternoon.<br />
The takeaway: The Blue Pig is open daily for breakfast beginning at<br />
7:30am, lunch from 11am to 3pm, and dinner from 5 to 10pm. It’s a great<br />
spot to enjoy a quick bite with the family — they do have a kids’ menu<br />
— or to do some business. We’ve had our fair share of work meetings at<br />
the Blue Pig and it surely will not be our last.

Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
Last March, I began writing the saga of<br />
this year’s Osprey nesting season. It<br />
ended yesterday. Way back on Saint<br />
Patrick’s Day, the two adult Osprey<br />
returned to the alpha nest across from<br />
the riverside park, by March 31, there were<br />
five Osprey pairs within sight of the park and<br />
14 adult birds by April 14. With so many prospecting<br />
birds and limited nest space, things<br />
were bound to get complicated. Sure enough<br />
on April 8, two pairs were vying for the nest.<br />
The interlopers built a new nest on the<br />
park side of the river in a utility pole in town<br />
until a heavy rain caused a transformer to<br />
blow. The power company arrived to restore<br />
power and relocated the nest to a newly<br />
constructed platform in the park. The birds<br />
adopted the relocated nest but seemed unable<br />
to move forward. Meanwhile the alpha pair<br />
moved on with the breeding season.<br />
On September 17, there was one adult still<br />
in the nest, but the others departed. Tireless<br />
fliers, the birds follow a trans-Atlantic, Great<br />
Circle Route to South America. Northern<br />
birds have thus far dominated the hawk flight<br />
at Cape May Point State Park and birds from<br />
Labrador and Newfoundland will continue<br />
to be counted through October. Even under<br />
cloudy skies and a steady drizzle, four Osprey<br />
have already been tabulated. Most hawks<br />
would never consider migrating in weather<br />
like this, but these strong fliers are waterproof,<br />
with outer feathers coated in waxy oil.<br />
Able to dive to depths of 20 feet, the “fish<br />
hawk” is strong enough to launch itself from<br />
the water and climb vertically with a fish in<br />
tow. In summer with young in the nest, the<br />
birds must perform this feat multiple times<br />
a day. Sea eagles also eat fish but skim them<br />
from the surface or pilfer them from Ospreys.<br />
And while Osprey vacate the northeast in<br />
Winter, Bald Eagles are resident, counting<br />
down the days, as I am, until the Osprey<br />
returns in the spring. Make no mistake, there<br />
is an abundance of birds wintering in South<br />
Jersey and the winter pattern is already established.<br />
Fish Crows gathering to roost every<br />
evening, Black Ducks heading out to spend<br />
the night on Delaware Bay. Mockingbirds<br />
defending winter territories and dark-eyed<br />
Juncos any day now. But somehow the skies<br />
over town seem empty without the ringing<br />
whistle of Osprey.<br />
One season ends, another begins. And<br />
winter means owls. Screech Owls live across<br />
the street and Great-horned Owls call from<br />
the church steeple into January. I’ll be writing<br />
about these in the weeks ahead.<br />

The Movie Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
There are tons of movies that get<br />
thumbs (way) down from critics but<br />
audiences love! Do you have a favorite?<br />
There’s one I’ll review here — but<br />
let’s check out the phenomenon as<br />
seen through the lens of Rotten Tomatoes!<br />
Romantic musicals your thing? Mama Mia<br />
(2008) got a 55% splat rating from critics on<br />
Rotten Tomatoes and a 66% fresh rating from<br />
audiences. The sequel 10 years later did better<br />
by critics while audiences stayed the same.<br />
How about superhero flicks? Did you like<br />
Venom (2018; 30% critic score, 80% audience<br />
score) or Black Adam (2022; 39% critics, 88%<br />
audience). The audiences who watched would<br />
likely agree, but the critics not so much. Some<br />
other movies where critics cringed and fans<br />
binged are National Treasure (2004; 46% critic,<br />
76% audience — sequel did about the same<br />
but lower), The Gray Man (2022; 45% v 90%),<br />
and Slumberland (2022; 40% v 86%).<br />
This week’s movie isn’t new, but you got<br />
to run to catch it — it moves fast. Bullet Train<br />
(2022; 54% v 76%) is a ridiculously cartoonish<br />
movie, but it grabs you at the station and<br />
rushes you through the action. It has its share<br />
of celebrities and lesser-known actors, and<br />
the characters have code names. Brad Pitt<br />
plays Ladybug, an enlightened assassin who<br />
needs to pick up an “important briefcase”<br />
(that’s the ceremonial MacGuffin).<br />
Ladybug is joined by a parade of assassins<br />
as the briefcase is tossed around in frenzied<br />
action. Critics say that action was sometimes<br />
too whacked to follow, and they may be right.<br />
But it’s fun to follow anyway.<br />
The film grossed nearly $300 million,<br />
so unsurprisingly Sony is considering<br />
a sequel. The movie has garnered multiple<br />
award nominations — one being a People’s<br />
Choice Award. MTV also gave a Breakthrough<br />
Performance Award nomination to mega<br />
popstar Bad Bunny for his portrayal of The<br />
Wolf. Okay, maybe bringing up these awards<br />
is me rationalizing why I loved this flick so<br />
much. What can I say? When a zany action<br />
comedy doesn’t go “off the rails,” we need to<br />
give some credit.<br />
Update: Anthony M read And Just Like That,<br />
the Sex in the City series reviewed here. He says<br />
the Samantha character (Kim Cattrall) was<br />
sorely missed on the new show. “Who else<br />
would set the other characters straight when<br />
they messed up,” he said. Noted!<br />
Tom is a podcaster and an award-winning<br />
indie filmmaker. His books include<br />
adaptations of his short films. Visit YouTube.<br />

The Activity Column<br />
Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, enjoy a show at Cape May Stage!<br />
There’s an old saying — garbage doesn’t<br />
lie. You can tell yourself you’ve cut down<br />
on your consumption of Hershey’s<br />
Kisses, but that growing pile of silver<br />
wrappers in the trash tells the truth. The<br />
same is true for your good habits, like overestimating<br />
how much healthy food we consume.<br />
We could count the apple cores or banana peels<br />
in the garbage if we really wanted to. A peek<br />
into our recycling bin tells a similar tale — the<br />
gossip magazines reveal why we didn’t finish<br />
our assigned summer reading. Archaeologists<br />
know this, which is why they study the remnants<br />
of ancient civilizations to figure out how our<br />
predecessors lived. Garbage haulers also know<br />
this, and that is the basis of the comedy currently<br />
playing at Cape May Stage.<br />
Billed as a “hopeful story about finding<br />
common ground in uncommon times,” “The<br />
Garbologists” is an unlikely buddy comedy. It<br />
follows sanitation workers Marlowe and Danny<br />
through Marlowe’s first days on the job. The<br />
two are very different, but perhaps not in the<br />
ways that really matter. Danny, the voice of<br />
experience, has contempt for people who fail to<br />
recognize that life is like cheese — you need a<br />
little stink to make it work. Most people never<br />
think about sanitation, he notes. “They think<br />
the Garbage Fairies take it away in the middle<br />
of the night. Poof! Street’s clean.” Marlowe, a<br />
college-educated woman new to this union job,<br />
is initially dismissive of her co-worker, though<br />
she appreciates the tips about “reading the<br />
bags” to avoid “splishing,” bed bugs and excess<br />
weight. Marlowe and Danny hunt for “mongo”<br />
as they go — the treasure that may be found in<br />
trash. Among their discoveries are connections<br />
between people, and the realization that it’s not<br />
just their work that makes people essential.<br />
“The Garbologists,” written by Lindsay<br />
Joelle, directed by Roy Steinberg, and starring<br />
Michael Basile and Serena Ebony Miller,<br />
runs through October 22, Wednesday through<br />
Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 3pm. Visit capemaystage.org<br />
for tickets and more. The play is<br />
recommended for ages 16 and over and runs for<br />
90 minutes. Tickets are available online or at the<br />
box office for around $47.<br />
Next up for Cape May Stage will be “A Tuna<br />
Christmas” by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and<br />
Ed Howard running November 15th through<br />
December 30th. Theater lovers can also consider<br />
the East Lynne Theater Company, where “Love<br />
Letters” plays through October 14, “Tales of<br />
Horror Suspense” plays October 27 and 28, and<br />
the radio-style play “The Death of Holmes?”<br />
plays November 3 and 4 and 10 and 11. Visit<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 neighbor had an outdoor barbeque last<br />
weekend. He invited me but not our neighbor<br />
on the other side. Thinking it was a simple<br />
omission, I asked him if I could invite her. He<br />
said no. He invited a dozen people and did not<br />
want any more. I knew she was home. I knew<br />
she saw us, and it made me uncomfortable.<br />
I know he has a good relationship with her.<br />
After a few drinks, I’m afraid I said something.<br />
Then my host/neighbor said something, and it<br />
got ugly and I left. I’m not sure if I was right or<br />
not but felt I had to stand up for her. She did not<br />
mention the gathering when I saw her walking<br />
her dog. Naturally, I said nothing, but what do<br />
I know about my host? Do I ignore the whole<br />
thing? — Concerned Neighbor<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
Dear Neighbor<br />
You visit the Original Fudge Kitchen. Buy<br />
a pound of pumpkin fudge. Knock on your<br />
neighbor’s door and offer your apologies.<br />
Whether he was right or not, the barbecue<br />
was at his house, and it was his call whether<br />
to invite or not invite. Your choice perhaps<br />
should have been to decline the invitation. If<br />
you still feel that strongly, have a barbecue of<br />
your own and invite the entire neighborhood.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I am invited to a Halloween party at a<br />
coworker’s house whom I like very much.<br />
Halloween is apparently her favorite holiday.<br />
The problem is I hate dressing up. Normally, I<br />
would decline the invitation, but I don’t want<br />
to offend my very kind co-worker. I had a<br />
hard transition into this job, filling the role of<br />
someone very loved who fell ill. My co-worker<br />
paved the way. Do I just show up as I am? What<br />
if I offset my not joining in with a really good<br />
wine from Sunset Liquors? — Anti-Costumer<br />
Dear Anti<br />
If it is her favorite holiday, expect salad<br />
tongs in the shape of skeleton hands and<br />
smokey brew coming from the punch bowl.<br />
Sure, bring the vino but you can also suck it up<br />
one night. Pop into Just For Laughs and buy a<br />
pair of Groucho Marx glasses which come with<br />
glasses, nose and mustache. Wear a suit with it<br />
and watch the laughs because it’s unexpected.<br />
OR wear a suit with Clark Kent glasses and a<br />
Superman tee shirt underneath. You will make<br />
her happy and still maintain your dignity.<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 />
RIPLEY is a friendly three-year-old boy who<br />
loves to be with people. He is treat motivated,<br />
which makes his training much easier — he’s<br />
making great progress with his impulsive<br />
behavior. Ripley is eager to find a new loving<br />
home. He would do best with a family who<br />
is knowledgeable about working with food<br />
guarding issues and is ready for some energy.<br />
ZELDA is a young girl who came to the shelter<br />
when her family could no longer care for her.<br />
She has a lot of energy and loves to run in the<br />
yard. Zelda is treat motivated which helps with<br />
training. Her leash skills need some work, but<br />
she is progressing. Zelda would thrive in a<br />
home with experience training a young German<br />
Shepard.<br />
HARRY is a delightful four-year-old boy<br />
who loves everyone he meets. He came to<br />
the shelter when his family could no longer<br />
care for him. He lived in an active home with<br />
several children but is uncomfortable with<br />
loud noises. Harry has excellent manners and<br />
seems to be fine walking by other dogs and is<br />
not one to escape through an open door.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />
Five beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />
SHIRLEY TEMPLE AND MIMOSA came<br />
from a hoarder house and are believed to be<br />
mother and daughter. They love each other<br />
and it would be best if adopted together. Shirley<br />
sometimes shivers in fear but loves to be<br />
pet. These girls need a safe and loving home<br />
when they’ll be well taken care of. Other cats<br />
in the home are perfectly fine.<br />
BODEGA was brought to the shelter after she<br />
was picked up in front of Shoprite. Turns out<br />
she had five kittens behind the store and was<br />
looking for food for quite some time. They all<br />
came to the shelter and the kittens have all<br />
been adopted. Bodega is a two-year-old girl<br />
ready for a loving home — she would do well<br />
with dogs and children.<br />
CITRINE AND TOPAZ were rescued from a<br />
trailer park as kittens. The pair came in with<br />
severe upper respiratory and eye infections.<br />
After much love and care, they’ve become the<br />
most grateful, sweet and happy cats ever. The<br />
scarring on their eyes does not bother them<br />
and they’d do well in a home with other cats,<br />
dogs and children.<br />
