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 Exit Zero retail store inside the Filling Station on<br />

Sunset Boulevard. It’s been decked out for the holidays from top to<br />

bottom with twinkling lights, ornaments and other Christmas decor.<br />

There’s also a donation box for the Scott Gregg Jr. annual toy drive just<br />

inside the door to drop off some goodies for those in need this season.<br />

The products: Exit Zero meets just about all your Christmas shopping<br />

needs. Looking for some artwork to spruce up your office? There’s<br />

plenty of photography prints you can pick up of Cape May best spots<br />

including the Lighthouse and Cape May Point. New coffee table book?<br />

You can’t go wrong with a copy of The First Resort. Don’t forget about<br />

the kids — there’s plenty of plush toys, books, T-shirts and sweatshirts<br />

they’ll love. Check out the house items and accessories that make the<br />

best stocking stuffers. From hot sauce and wine glasses to magnets and<br />

charms, there’s something for everyone.<br />

The holiday deals: There’s so many Black Friday deals headed our<br />

way from plenty of stores in town, including Flying Fish Studio’s 33%<br />

off everything online and in-store or Cape May Peanut Butter’s online<br />

gift set sale, so you’ll want to write all this down. On Friday, November<br />

24 from 9am-12pm, if you purchase a $100 Exit Zero gift card, receive<br />

a second $100 gift card for FREE. This promo is available in-store only.<br />

Then, on Saturday, November 25, GET LIT on Small Biz Saturday from<br />

10am-9pm with these great offers — 50% off all books, $10 Exit Zero<br />

gift card with every $50 gift card purchase plus 20% off all apparel and<br />

gifts. The fun keeps on going during MANIC Monday, November 27.<br />

Shop online at exitzero.com and receive FREE shipping on all orders<br />

placed from 12am-11:59pm. Spend $75 or more and we’ll throw in a<br />

complimentary hat. The $10 gift card with a $50 gift card purchase deal<br />

continues online, too. ’Tis the season for shopping!<br />

The takeaway: The retail store at Exit Zero is open daily — check<br />

out exitzero.com for updated holiday hours and more special events!

Bird Droppings<br />

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

Everyone who goes to the hawk watch<br />

platform in November will swear<br />

“they just go for the show,” or, maybe<br />

“the parade of vultures.” They lie.<br />

Everyone goes hoping to see a Golden<br />

Eagle. The “king of birds.” The bird that rode<br />

on the staff of Rome’s conquering legions.<br />

Found across the globe, in North America,<br />

they are a western and arctic breeders. The<br />

Arctic is where our migrating birds herald<br />

from. Flying down the Atlantic coast, a few of<br />

these dark-bodied, golden-hooded birds may<br />

winter in the marshes of the Mullica River,<br />

but most head inland to the mountains of<br />

Kentucky and Tennessee where they may take<br />

prey to the size of small deer.<br />

This feat that should surprise nobody, in<br />

Alaska, Golden Eagles prey upon Dall Sheep,<br />

knocking them off ledges and feasting on the<br />

remains. In Mongolia, the birds are trained<br />

by falconers to hunt in pairs to immobilize<br />

wolves. That’s a tough line of work but one<br />

the birds have excelled at since the reign of<br />

Genghis Kahn.<br />

Here, on the Atlantic coast, the birds<br />

mostly prey upon waterfowl, but I once saw<br />

a Golden Eagle strike a Great Blue Heron and<br />

in the west I’ve watched them hunt Sandhill<br />

Cranes.<br />

For we Cape May residents, the November<br />

migration is our only opportunity to gain a<br />

glimpse of these magnificent birds.<br />

Strong, northwest winds in November are<br />

the right formula for eagles in Cape May come<br />

mid-December the migratory window closes.<br />

Most of the Golden Eagles we see here are<br />

juveniles sporting bright white wing patches<br />

and gleaming white tails that brandish broad<br />

banded tips. The golden hackles may gleam so<br />

brightly in the sun that, head on, the birds can<br />

be mistaken for adult Bald Eagles.<br />

More typically, Golden Eagles are mistaken<br />

for Turkey Vultures which like Golden<br />

Eagle fly with uplifted wings, a “dihedral.”<br />

Indeed the eagles sometimes join the local<br />

vultures in their swirling kettles where the<br />

eagles rock steady flight will distinguish it.<br />

Vultures are tipsy in flight.<br />

But with so many experienced hawk<br />

watchers on hand, you need not worry about<br />

missing a bird. The appearance of a Golden<br />

Eagle brings everyone to their feet. Most<br />

migrants do not linger, Delaware Bay is no<br />

obstacle for such a strong flier.<br />

November is the most exciting month<br />

for hawk watching in Cape May, over a dozen<br />

species are possible and there are lots of other<br />

late season migrants, too.<br />

Will the Magic of Cape May<br />

be enough to heal a fractured family<br />

in time for Christmas?<br />

Not to sound ungrateful, but did this<br />

Thanksgiving creep up on us? It<br />

pounced like Aunt Mildred’s “surprise<br />

savory pie.” Now, the entertainment<br />

industry wants our attention<br />

as we have a little time to spend watching<br />

together on big and little screens. Let’s see<br />

what’s out there!<br />

This year, there’s a parade of titles based<br />

on familiar books! There’s one reimagining<br />

pulled from a legendary classic. There are<br />

animated creations for all ages, and concerts<br />

to catch if you weren’t able to buy tickets. And<br />

yep, best believe there’s a superhero or two<br />

thrown in for good measure. Oh and there’s<br />

enough Oscar buzzworthiness to go around.<br />

Since my favorite book (published in<br />

1960) is also my favorite movie (released<br />

1962), you know I’m an adaptation fiend! Gift<br />

card to the first person who emails me the<br />

title at flixyoumissed@gmail.com! There’s a<br />

recent favorite just released on Netflix. All<br />

the Light We Cannot See is a four-part limited<br />

series. Critics say it’s cringeworthy, but I say<br />

The Movie Column<br />

By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />

bingeworthy! More on that next week.<br />

There are so many adaptations! Alice<br />

Walker’s The Color Purple is reimagined.<br />

American Fiction is based on Percival Everett’s<br />

“Erasure,” about a Black novelist frustrated<br />

with racist stereotypes. Other adaptations<br />

include The Boys in the Boat, Leave the World<br />

Behind, Poor Things and Strangers.<br />

How about biopics? Napoleon stars<br />

Joaquin Phoenix, Maestro features Bradley<br />

Cooper playing Leonard Bernstein, and Adam<br />

Driver plays the auto legend Enzo Ferrari in<br />

Ferrari. And you know there’s a writer’s strike<br />

when concert movies become big releases.<br />

Renaissance is the new documentary from<br />

megastar Beyoncé, and earlier this year was<br />

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. Beys and Swifties<br />

unite… at least to save theaters!<br />

Well, dip me in chocolate! Wonka looks like<br />

a winner! The movie comes out in December<br />

and tells the origin story of the legendary<br />

candy maker. People may be tired of Wilder’s<br />

Wonka or critical of Depp’s reimagining — but<br />

I say they’re all good! Bring on a third helping!<br />

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and The<br />

Marvels are our superhero entries. Wish is<br />

a new animated feature from Disney, and<br />

Migration is a duck road-trip movie from<br />

Illumination studios.<br />

As for Oscar Buzz— any one of these could<br />

get a nom! And it’s not even in December!<br />

Tom H. Sims is an award-winning indie filmmaker.<br />

His latest book is an adaptation of his short<br />

films. Visit YouTube.com/tomhsims.<br />

The Activity Column<br />

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, get in the holiday spirit at Congress Hall!<br />

Embrace your inner child this holiday<br />

season and visit the carousel at<br />

Congress Hall’s Winter Wonderland.<br />

The word carousel comes from<br />

12th century military training exercises<br />

called “carosellos,” in which knights<br />

rode in a circle, tossing a ball to one another,<br />

to improve teamwork and coordination.<br />

Children imitated the knights, and eventually,<br />

costumed “carrousels” were reenacted<br />

for entertainment. By the 18th century, fairs<br />

across Europe featured carousels with toy<br />

horses, suspended by chains, turning in a<br />

circle. A platform was introduced in the 19th<br />

century, followed by gears to allow up and<br />

down movement of the horses. Early carousels<br />

were powered by a human turning<br />

a crank, but in 1861, steam power replaced<br />

the crank, and was replaced by electricity.<br />

The National Zoo in Washington, D.C. has a<br />

solar-powered carousel.<br />

Carousels crossed the ocean in 1799,<br />

when the first American “wooden horse circus<br />

ride” appeared in Salem, Massachusetts.<br />

American designers created larger carousels,<br />

with elaborate carvings and artwork on the<br />

outside-facing sides of the horses and the<br />

addition of mirrors, lights and organ music.<br />

The largest indoor carousel in the world is<br />

located in Wisconsin and features 269 animals,<br />

182 chandeliers and 20,000 lights.<br />

Binghamton, New York earned the nickname<br />

of the “Carousel Capital of the World” 80 years<br />

ago, after a man named George F. Johnson<br />

donated six to the city with the provision<br />

that no one could ever be charged for a ride,<br />

because carousels contribute “to a happy life”<br />

and “help youngsters grow into strong and<br />

useful citizens.” 19th century doctors agreed,<br />

recommending carousels to improve circulation.<br />

Legend has it that Charles Lindbergh<br />

rode a Coney Island carousel to relax before<br />

his transatlantic flight, and Winston Churchill<br />

did to boost morale during World War II.<br />

The carousel will return to Congress<br />

Hall’s Winter Wonderland, along with the<br />

popular train ride, from November 24 through<br />

January 1, Fridays 4 to 9pm, Saturdays 11am to<br />

9pm and Sundays 11am to 8pm. There’s also<br />

an “enchanted” shopping village with “candy<br />

cane-striped tents” featuring unusual holiday<br />

items, Cape May-themed gifts and “curiosities.”<br />

Cape Resorts also offers “Breakfast<br />

with Santa” every Saturday and Sunday from<br />

November 25 through December 24, 2023<br />

— reservations are essential. Other activities<br />

include cookie decorating and “Santa’s<br />

Workshop.” Visit caperesorts.com for more.<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 />

I have three children. For the first time,<br />

I have decided not to host Christmas dinner.<br />

Instead of getting together and deciding which<br />

one of them will take over the tradition, they<br />

have each decided to have their own dinner.<br />

They all have partners/spouses and children,<br />

and I understand, but they also all expect me<br />

to either be at three places at once or choose<br />

one of them. I can’t stand it. It’s a lose-lose and<br />

I don’t know what to do except start cooking.<br />

Help. — Tug of War Mom<br />

Dear Tug<br />

The Answer Lady is sympathetic, but it is<br />

also unfair of you to think your children even<br />

want the whole family celebration thing. After<br />

all, their partners and spouses have families<br />

The Answer Lady<br />

Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />

as well and kids often like to stay in their own<br />

home. It is also unfair of them to expect you to<br />

choose one of them over the other. Assuming<br />

they live near, you could divide the day.<br />

Breakfast with one. Dinner with the second<br />

and dessert with the third. Don’t go empty<br />

handed. Coffee from Love the Cook is an<br />

excellent gift for the breakfast crowd. Bubbly<br />

from Sunset Liquors for dinner and a bottle of<br />

vodka from Nauti Spirits Distillery for dessert.<br />

Dear Answer Lady<br />

A good friend of mine has invited us to<br />

their house for a holiday party. We love them,<br />

but not their two dogs. They refuse to put<br />

them in another part of the house and they’re<br />

not well-behaved. Jump on people, often<br />

resulting in a spilt cocktail and/or jump on the<br />

sofa the minute we sit down. These are Golden<br />

Retrievers — not lap dogs. Is there nothing we<br />

can say? It would mean a rift in our friendship<br />

to not attend, but my husband and I are<br />

groaning at the close encounters of the furry<br />

kind. Any thoughts? — Dog Gone Conflicted<br />

Dear Conflicted<br />

The Answer Lady does not share your<br />

dog aversion, but that said, she has the perfect<br />

solution. Naturally, you will bring a hostess<br />

gift. Stop at Splash for a gift of sea glass.<br />

Chocolate from Louisa’s Chocolate Bar might<br />

also be an idea. Then pop in at West Side<br />

Market. Talk to Shaine at the butcher’s section<br />

and ask him for two soup bones for the dogs<br />

and let them have it. Chances are you won’t see<br />

a hair of their furry heads the entire night.<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 />

BLAZE is a handsome boy who came to the<br />

shelter when his owner died and is a bit anxious<br />

over the turn his life has taken. He does<br />

require some basic training for leash walking<br />

and certain cue but is very treat motivated. A<br />

home that understands his anxiety and is willing<br />

to work with him will allow him to grow<br />

into a fine companion.<br />

PIPPY is a lively, sweet-tempered girl who<br />

came to the shelter when her family could<br />

no longer care for her. She is a one-year-old<br />

boxer who does need a refresher on basic cues.<br />

She does enjoy learning new things and her<br />

leash skills are good. Pippy loves car rides and<br />

her previous owner said she is good with children<br />

and other dogs.<br />

BLUE is a sweet six-year-old boy who came<br />

to the shelter when his owner could no longer<br />

care for him. He is mild mannered and loves to<br />

be with humans. Blue has terrific leash manners<br />

and enjoys going for walks. According<br />

to his last owner, he’s good with children and<br />

likes car rides. Blue would make a wonderful<br />

family companion.<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 />

HILDA, ZELDA AND SABRINA are a trio of<br />

beautiful six-month-old sisters. They are all<br />

happy and healthy and ready to be adopted<br />

into a new home, together or separate. This<br />

group would be good in a home with other<br />

cats, dogs and children. If interested in meeting<br />

Hilda, Zelda or Sabrina, contact the shelter.<br />

SHIRLEY TEMPLE is a six-month-old<br />

girl who was found in a hoarder house and<br />

brought to the shelter by Animal Control. She<br />

tends to shiver a bit when held, but loves to be<br />

pet. It may take some patience, but Shirley will<br />

warm up to you if given some love and attention.<br />

She’d do well in a home with other cats<br />

and children.<br />

BIJOU AND FRENCHIE are a brother and sister<br />

who were trapped in a trailer park community<br />

and found flea infested and starved. This<br />

pair is very scared but not aggressive at all.<br />

They have no domesticated well, so a barn or<br />

warehouse situation would fit them perfectly.<br />

They’re great with other cats and up to date on<br />

all vaccinations and neutered/spayed.<br />
