Open Thanksgiving 7am-12pm<br />
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our customers,<br />
employees & friends. We are grateful for you!<br />
Bring in nonperishable food and receive a<br />
free coffee - must show this ad to cashier.<br />
Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or, maybe<br />
even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent dining<br />
establishments. Well we’re shifting into the holiday shopping<br />
season and it’s only fitting that this column follows suit.<br />
We’ll give you the skinny on the clothes we try on, the candles<br />
we smell, the snacks we sample, who we bumped into and, you know,<br />
the general lay of the land PLUS where to find the best gifts this season.<br />
The place: The Days Sustainable Apparel on Washington Street<br />
right next to Shore Soaps in Cape May. This shop offers pieces all<br />
crafted from upcycled materials and plant-based textiles. They’ve also<br />
ventured into partnerships with places like the Boarding House and<br />
Out There Coffee to create products from old linens, pillow cases and<br />
coffee bags. There’s plenty of cool items to check out here.<br />
The owners: Alexa D’Amico and husband Shaun Guglielmi opened<br />
the Days Sustainable Apparel in 2022. They chose Cape May as their<br />
first store’s location thanks to its history, art, culture, and early childhood<br />
vacations Alexa took with her family. Alexa studied at the Fashion<br />
Institute and developed a brand that’s focused on ethical practices from<br />
sourcing their products to the treatment of employees. It’s not all about<br />
running a business but making a difference through educating buyers.<br />
She and Shaun aim to combat the detrimental impacts fast fashion has<br />
on the environment and create a well-rounded shopping experience.<br />
The clothes: Many of the products they carry are made from upcycled<br />
materials including beach towels. They have a range of terrycloth<br />
items like hats, bags, clutches and for this holidays season, stockings<br />
to hang on the chimney with care! You’ll also want to check out tees<br />
made from hemp — very comfortable and lightweight. The Days also<br />
has a few dresses made from hemp that can be casual or dressed up for<br />
a night out. Maybe with an upcycled skateboard deck necklace? They’re<br />
hand cut and finished in Pennsylvania, designed in New Jersey.<br />
The takeaway: The Days Sustainable Apparel is open Wednesday-<br />
Sunday from 10am-6pm. If you can’t make it over during open hours,<br />
shop online at thedaysapparel.com and they’ll ship your order to you.<br />
This is a great place to pick up some presents for the environmentalist<br />
in your life, the fashionista who practices sustainability, or someone<br />
you want to pick up a cute and fun outfit for and feel good about who<br />
you’re shopping with.

Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
It’s called a “Hawk Watch” platform, but<br />
that elevated wooden structure is much<br />
more. Those in attendance are equal<br />
opportunity observers. Anything with<br />
feathers and a few things without are<br />
grist for our mill. Snapping turtles, Southern<br />
Gray Tree Frogs, Green Darner dragonflies. If<br />
it’s within binocular range, it has our interest.<br />
Take today, bluebird conditions and SSW<br />
winds, hardly hawk watching conditions.<br />
But there is always something to appreciate.<br />
Today it was scores of Tree Swallows cutting<br />
cookie-cutter patterns over the platform.<br />
There were Monarch butterflies, White Ibis,<br />
and a White crowned Sparrow.<br />
Hawks, yes, a few. Lots of Cooper’s<br />
Hawks, a few harriers, Red-tailed and Redshouldered<br />
Hawks and a late Osprey and<br />
later Broad-winged Hawk. The showstopper<br />
was the multiple flocks or “kettles,” of Turkey<br />
Vultures, swirling in thermals, rising aloft.<br />
Not necessarily attractive up close, but at a<br />
distance, vultures are the picture of grace and<br />
aerial finesse. “It’s like Zen,” one newcomer to<br />
the hawk watch assessed. And it is. The flight<br />
of vultures is mesmerizing, soothing. The<br />
opposite of haste and hurry.<br />
From now until early December, vultures<br />
can be counted upon to enliven the skies.<br />
In their wheeling ranks, you will find burley<br />
Red-tailed Hawks, elegant Red-shouldereds<br />
and the odd eagle or two, all drawn to the rising<br />
bubble of air the vultures seek.<br />
Vultures are bellwethers. You find vul-<br />
tures, you find hawks. Out on Bunker Pond,<br />
the ranks of migrating ducks are filling nicely.<br />
Gadwall, in their tasteful gray attire, tends<br />
to hug the northern shore. Elegant Pintails<br />
cluster mid-pond, Green-winged Teal hug<br />
the shores. Wigeon and Mallards space<br />
themselves out. While most observers gush<br />
about the colors of waterfowl, the mix of duck<br />
sounds is equally gratifying.<br />
Mallards quack. Gadwall’s quack is muffled.<br />
Teal squeal. Shovelers snort and wigeon<br />
whistle, a comical two-note toot. Eurasian<br />
Wigeon emits a held single note. Canada<br />
Geese? Well, you guess. The great thing about<br />
November are the numbers of real live wild<br />
Canada’s that come to town. Arriving in classic<br />
echelon formation the birds breast the<br />
water with a whoop and a whoosh.<br />
I love the spectacle of November migrants.<br />
Bring binoculars and dress warmly. A northeast<br />
wind is best. Migrating seabirds like a tail<br />
wind. For daily, real-time count numbers go<br />
to njaudubon.org and click on “Watches.” It’s<br />
the next best thing to being there.<br />

It’s been a few years since I’ve been able<br />
to say this: our film festival is open to<br />
review your film! Or maybe the film<br />
of someone you know! The Exit Zero<br />
Film Festival is the weekend of March<br />
15-17, 2024 at the End of the Road Theater<br />
in North Cape May. Find out more at www.<br />
ExitZeroFilmFest.com.<br />
There, you’ll see a link to send us your<br />
project. It’s all digital — give the deets and<br />
upload a link to your movie online. Or send<br />
the submission site to someone you know<br />
who has a project recently completed.<br />
Years ago, it was my honor to serve with<br />
local favorite Stefan Prosky (we miss him!),<br />
Dottie Knapp, and a host of other volunteers<br />
who fueled the award-winning Cape<br />
May Film Festival. It was a blast to screen<br />
the works of filmmakers — and meet them<br />
too! Now, it’s back! And we can’t wait to see<br />
what new movies are out there waiting to be<br />
discovered!<br />
If you haven’t been to the End of the<br />
Road Theater, you are missing out! The place<br />
The Movie Column<br />

is amazing. Cozy seating. Elegant and fun<br />
atmosphere. The place has an unmistakable<br />
vibe that gives us the perfect setting to enjoy<br />
indie films and meet their creators! Thanks to<br />
Jennifer Swain for pursuing her vision to make<br />
a spot for film and arts events for the whole<br />
region! Bravo!<br />
We know there are people and businesses<br />
who supported the Cape May Film Festival<br />
and are asking, “How can I be part of this<br />
extraordinary event?” Simple! Call or email<br />
to let us know. There are sponsor packages<br />
that come complete with program ads and<br />
weekend passes to the event. We know Cape<br />
May loves film! And we know you love to get<br />
involved! So let’s all get together to put on a<br />
show!<br />
This column is more than articles about<br />
what’s on TV or in movies. We are a community<br />
of story lovers, no matter the format.<br />
Now, it’s time to get on the scene! Send a film,<br />
encourage an indie creator to send theirs,<br />
become a sponsor, or simply get the word out!<br />
Help build up this community even more —<br />
and have fun doing it!<br />
A good film can change us. It can make<br />
us laugh or jump out of our seats. It can make<br />
us cry or even think. Email me at exitzeromediafest@gmail.com<br />
to learn more about the<br />
festival and the impact you can make!<br />

The Activity Column<br />
Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, !<br />
Many of our holiday activities are<br />
dictated by tradition, but, “tradition”<br />
is always in flux — look<br />
at the ruckus that ensued when<br />
Queen Victoria embraced the foreign<br />
custom of the Christmas tree.<br />
Queen Victoria could not help bucking<br />
tradition from the beginning of her reign —<br />
the marked contrast between her and her predecessors<br />
startled the London establishment.<br />
She was a young woman assuming a role<br />
usually played by old men. Victoria was also<br />
the first monarch crowned after the Reform<br />
Act of 1832, designed to amplify the role of the<br />
average (male) citizen in government. Private<br />
coronations, witnessed only by Parliament<br />
and the nobility, were a thing of the past. For<br />
the first time, the public was invited to view<br />
the procession of the new ruler, and reportedly<br />
due to a lack of planning, many things<br />
went awry. Lord Rolle fell down the stairs, the<br />
music was mediocre, and the coronation ring<br />
was too small. Her subjects did not seem to<br />
mind. Thanks to the new railroads bringing<br />
in tourists from outside of London, 400,000<br />
came to celebrate. The weather was lovely, the<br />
fireworks were a hit, and the four-day fair in<br />
Hyde Park gave a boost to the local economy.<br />
Victoria’s new Christmas traditions were similarly<br />
popular. When she and her German husband,<br />
Albert, brought them to Buckingham<br />
Palace, religious conservatives objected, but<br />
when an 1848 image in the “Illustrated London<br />
News” showed the royal family around their<br />
Christmas tree, her subjects were charmed,<br />
and the new tradition took hold. Victoria’s<br />
reign also saw the reduction in postage from<br />
one penny in 1840 to a half-penny in 1870,<br />
which helped to popularize the sending of<br />
Christmas cards, a tradition which is fading in<br />
favor of digital holiday messages.<br />
Your traditions may also be in flux, so you’ll<br />
need some flexibility planning your Cape May<br />
holiday. Maybe you love the entire West Cape<br />
May Christmas parade, but the visiting fiveyear-old<br />
only wants to stay for 45 minutes.<br />
If your kids have outgrown “Breakfast with<br />
Santa” at Congress Hall (caperesorts.com)<br />
or The Inn of Cape May (capemaymac.org),<br />
change that tradition to a play like “A Tuna<br />
Christmas” at Cape May Stage November<br />
15-December 30 (capemaystage.org) or East<br />
Lynne Theater Company’s revue, “Lennie’s<br />
Christmas Extravaganza,” December 7, 8 and<br />
9. Let older kids skip “Santa’s Trolley Ride”<br />
with mom and dad in favor of the “Ghosts of<br />
Christmas Past” on their own — a little independence<br />
is a great gift.<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 parents and I do not get along, yet<br />
they insist I come to Thanksgiving dinner and<br />
pretend we are a Disney movie family — all<br />
love. No favorites. No criticism. Naturally it<br />
never lasts. By the end of the night, we are at<br />
each other’s throats. They do not approve of<br />
my lifestyle. I am an exotic dancer in Atlantic<br />
City during the summer. I’m also putting<br />
myself through law school the rest of the year<br />
so… All this and yet I still do not want to create<br />
a thing. I love my brothers and sisters. What<br />
would you suggest? — Alienated<br />
Dear Alien<br />
I would suggest reservations. Ask a friend<br />
to join you and spend the afternoon in Cape<br />
May like a tourist. Congress Hall is offering a<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
Thanksgiving Buffet in the Ballroom. Dinner<br />
is also being served in Tommy’s Folly. Ocean 7<br />
at the Inn of Cape May is offering Thanksgiving<br />
dinner. The Ebbitt Room at the Virginia Hotel<br />
is also offering farm-to-table dining. If you’re<br />
up to it, join your family for dessert and make<br />
your exit early rather than taking the bait from<br />
your parents. Don’t come empty handed. Pick<br />
up a bottle of bubbly from Colliers Liquor Store<br />
or a pie from West Side Market.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
A man from my gym asked me out and I<br />
agreed. Then he texts me with the following<br />
proposition: “I bought us tickets to the late<br />
show at the Borgata. I made reservations at<br />
Peter Shield’s Inn (PSI) for 8pm. That will<br />
give us plenty of time to get to Atlantic City<br />
and we can stay at my sister’s after.” I said no.<br />
I told him that is not appropriate for a first<br />
date, especially the overnight arrangements. I<br />
barely know him. I said, “Let’s just stick with<br />
dinner or an afternoon at Cape May Winery.”<br />
I’ve heard nothing since. Did I do something<br />
wrong? — Confused<br />
Dear Confused<br />
Of course you did nothing wrong. It sounds<br />
like “Jim” already had you in a relationship in<br />
his head. There’s no cure for the fact that you<br />
broke his bubble of reality. The best thing to do<br />
is to pretend he never asked you out when you<br />
do run into him again. Be pleasant but don’t<br />
offer any alternative get togethers. People<br />
with those kinds of unrealistic expectations<br />
are best left to their own devices.<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 />
ZEKE is a one-and-a-half-year-old boy who<br />
came to the shelter when his owner could no<br />
longer care for him. He is a happy pup who<br />
loves attention. Zeke is learning proper leash<br />
manners and enjoys his brisk walks. He also<br />
loves car rides and is crate trained. Zeke would<br />
make a wonderful companion for a family<br />
with older children.<br />
BISQUICK is an eight-year-old girl who came<br />
to the shelter as a stray. She is quickly becoming<br />
a favorite of volunteers and staff. Bisquick<br />
is an energetic, social girl who loves to play in<br />
the baby pool. Her leash skills are good and<br />
she enjoys a walk with new smells and sights.<br />
This sweet girl would do well in a home with<br />
older children.<br />
COOPER is an energetic boy who loves to<br />
splash around in the pool. He has excellent<br />
leash skills and is a people-pleaser. Cooper<br />
lived with children previously, but needs to<br />
be the only pet in his new home. He is cratetrained<br />
which will help with his transition. He<br />
is also up to date on all vaccinations, neutered<br />
and housetrained.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />
Six beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />
TEX is a tall and handsome tuxedo cat. Nothing<br />
scares this five-year-old boy and he’s<br />
ready to join a new family. Tex is up to date on<br />
all vaccinations and neutered. This boy would<br />
be great in an adult home with other cats, but<br />
please no dogs. He may be independent but<br />
loves to be pet and cared for. If interested in<br />
adopting Tex, contact the shelter.<br />
ZUZU, ZARA, ZADIE AND ZIPPER are a<br />
bundle of captivating kittens who were born in<br />
a potted plant. They are thriving at the shelter,<br />
but ready to be adopted into a new home. This<br />
foursome is playful and socialized — they’d all<br />
do well in a home with other cats and children.<br />
If interested in taking one of these cuties in,<br />
contact the shelter.<br />
ROSS hasn’t had the best of luck. He was happily<br />
an indoor/outdoor cat in a household with<br />
children. Neighbors complained to animal<br />
control a few times so his owners surrendered<br />
him back to the shelter. Ross is ready to find a<br />
new loving home with nice enough neighbors<br />
to allow him to roam as he pleases. Other cats,<br />
dogs and children would be fine, too!<br />
