Facebook Mystery Contest Random Fact Of The Week

Weird Word Of The Week

The Police Blotter

Learn Russian With TanyaA Picture From The Past

Fortune Cookie Of The Week

YOU probably couldn’t throw a stone in Cape May without hitting an Eastern European person, though we would condemn such an act. We at Exit Zero warmly embrace our Commie Cousins (we’re joking!) and to this end offer a weekly lesson to help you com-municate. Please note – the “Russian” we are printing is our phonetic interpretation.

Why are there so many Scottish people living in Russia? Pochemu v Rossii tak mnogo Shot-landcev?

And, here is how your Russian-speaking friend is likely to respond: Po tomu zhe shto I vezde. Kto hochet zhit v postoiannom tumane i holode? Which translates to: The same reason there are lots of Scottish people everywhere else. Who wants to live in a constant, cold fog? – Tanya Zotava

THE best-selling book How the Scots Invented the Modern World outlines the huge impact a nation of five million people had on the world. The Scots invented, among other things, television, telephones, penicillin, antiseptics, lawnmowers, microwave ovens, computer games and golf.

THERE are a handful of remarkable things in this late 1800s picture of Howard Street, looking towards the Chalfonte. Note the woman in full Victorian dress, pushing a baby in a carriage. Both mother and child have long since passed, yet each of the buildings shown are still standing and look much the same – even the landscaping. The street is an unpaved dirt road that seems to show wagon wheel marks. Finally, check out the Sewell Avenue wing of the Chalfonte, dating the postcard to post-1878. – Ben Miller

Every week we feature quirky police reports from small towns across America.

DURANGO, CO: A man called 911 from the 1800 block of Main Avenue, and said, “I just want to see how long it takes you to respond,” and hung up. The man was arrested on sus-picion of disorderly conduct and obstructing a police officer. It took police four minutes to respond. – Durango Herald

J You will gain admiration from your pears. J

Haver A Scottish word, still very much in use, which means to talk incessant nonsense – often under the influence of alcohol.

ONCE a week, the folks at Exit Zero eat at Cape Orient, the island’s fine Asian restau-rant. Sometimes we find pearls of wisdom at the end of our meal. And sometimes we don’t. The above fortune cookie was eaten with Chicken and Pork Pad Thai and a bowl of Miso Soup. Please note: Any typos are not ours, but those of the fortune cookie manufactur-ers. We print them as we find them.

Don Pocher


I HAVE always admired unsung heroes – the people who go about their busi-ness without asking for recognition and, in some cases, deliberately avoiding it. There is an Exit Zero subscriber who con-

tacted us recently and asked that we keep him up to date about local causes to which he would donate – anonymously. Is there any more hon-orable person than the anonymous donor?

I don’t know about you, but I generally like people to know when I’ve performed a good deed. There was a scene in Seinfeld in which George became increasingly frustrated that his local deli guy didn’t notice when he put cash in the tip jar. So one lunchtime George tried to fish the money back out so he could put it back in full view – only to be accused of stealing. I can relate. I always make sure that the café worker sees me put money in the tip jar, and I’m not proud of that fact.

Which brings me to a man who seems driven by a desire to help his community, while content to stay under the radar. I can’t imagine that Danny Cohen will be happy to read this column, but that’s tough – it’s about time he got local recognition for being a man who makes things happen for only the right reasons.

Many of you will not know Danny, which is typical. That’s his style. But he’s a pretty big deal. He owns Atlantic Capes Fisheries, which, among other things, is one of the largest produc-ers of sea scallops on the east coast. The com-pany is based at Cape May harbor and also has a large production facility up the shore from here, in Point Pleasant, plus a sales and marketing office in New Bedford, MA.

It might not surprise you to learn that as well as heading up one of the most successful commercial fishing businesses in the country Danny is also a leading environmental advo-

cate – his company is committed to sustain-able fishing and he spends a great deal of his time organizing scientific studies with academic researchers in the field.

I should also mention that Danny is at the epicenter of a plan that might lead to New Jersey building the nation’s first offshore wind farm.

But the main reason I am writing this col-umn is to give a boost to a new organization that has long been dreamed of by Danny and his friend Steve Miller, who owns local restau-rants 410 Bank Street and Frescos. It’s the Cape May Forum and it’s inspired by the cultural fes-tival that happens every year in Chautauqua, NY. In fact, the full name of the group is Cape May Forum: Chautauqua at the Shore. (I should note that the idea was promoted by local business-men, and cousins, Curtis Bashaw and Norris Clark, as far back as the 1980s, although they are not involved with the new organization.)

The purpose of the forum is to introduce inspiring art and debates to the city in the off-season. In doing this it would enrich the lives of locals as well as providing ballast to local businesses, as more visitors are attracted to the event, much as the Cape May Jazz Festival has been doing twice a year for nearly 20 years.

The event will be held in Cape May over Columbus Day weekend, with the theme “Humor: Can It Save the World?” But there will be a teaser event this Saturday, July 10, when internationally recognized comedy expert John Morreall, PhD, will launch the forum with what I am assured will be a funny and thought-pro-voking presentation. It is being held at the First Presbyterian Church of Cape May on Hughes Street and it starts at 10am.

There’s something else I want to mention that’s related to Danny Cohen, and that’s the fact that he’s doing all this while fighting a rare and often-deadly type of cancer, sarcoma. Danny’s wife Mindy is organizing a fund-raising cam-paign to raise awareness of the disease and (in typical Cohen fashion) the proceeds will go to research. You can help locally by taking part in a sandcastle building contest in aid of sarcoma awareness on Sunday, July 25 at the Cove beach, from 9am to noon. There is a minimum dona-tion of $20 per team and there are great prizes being awarded in many categories.

You can also do your bit as a good citizen by turning up at the First Presbyterian Church at 10am on Saturday and supporting a wonderful cause. It’s not a big ask – you’re going to be lis-tening to a very funny man talking about a very seductive subject – humor.

I hope this is the start of something special for Cape May, and I hope and trust that Danny Cohen will be around for many, many, many more Cape May Forums to come.

I’ll see you in church! (Which isn’t some-thing I get to say very often.)

³ FINAL reminder: Do NOT miss the launch party for our second edition of The

First Resort, our wonderful history book, on the rooftop of the Grand Hotel tomorrow, Thursday, July 8 from 5pm to 9pm. Y’all are invited!

A Night On The TownBars, restaurants, culture and events... Dan Mathers’ weekly guide to what’s going on in Cape May

any of those jingoistic overtones. Children chased one another across a dimly-lit lawn cov-ered in chairs and blankets. Couples held hands and stared skyward. For my part, I sat with old high school friends and laughed about the stu-pid mistakes of teenage years and the numerous dim-witted decisions made with fireworks in hand. We talked about just how far we’d come.

Chris Middleton, one of the aforementioned high school friends, reviewed the atmosphere as

A FIREWORKS display is all about the finale; everything else is just a teaser. You give the standard “oohs” and “aahs” for the echoing booms, the arch-

ing blooms and crackling bands of light, but we all await the glorious, percussive staccato that is the grand finale. Sometimes that finale is spread out, a variety of explosions across the sky. Here, they were condensed – a multitude of eruptions exploding at a single focal point. The sky lit up with the repeated ra-ta-tat-tat before the display signaled its demise with a singular boom.

As I lounged in my pink-padded lawn chair around the Congress Hall pool and sipped my Stoli tonic, I reflected on how lucky I was. I thought about what an amazing opportunity it has been for me to spend the best years of my life here, in one of the most beautiful cities in the greatest country on earth. “Happy Fourth of July,” I thought to myself.

I was feeling oddly patriotic – especially for someone who considers the Pledge of Alle-giance to be overly nationalistic. But, this cel-ebration had a sweetness to it that overwhelmed

we returned to the bar following the festivities. “That’s the best environment for fireworks that I’ve seen in a long time,” Chris said. “This after-noon, as I was sitting on my couch in West Ches-ter, had you told me I could be here right now, I’d have… wow!… it’d be perfect.”

That’s a simple truth I don’t want to take for granted. I live here, but it’s important to stay grounded and realize how lucky we are to call this home. I texted my wife, who couldn’t join us because she had to work, to share those senti-ments, and to tell her I loved her. Yes, I was feel-ing rather emotional. That evening could only have been better had I the opportunity to share it with her. Again, another sentiment we shouldn’t take for granted: no matter where you were to witness the fireworks, count yourself lucky if you shared it with the one you love.

From the well-trimmed lawns and gardens of Congress Hall we made our way to Carney’s to make utter fools of ourselves. A note to the gentleman serving Jell-O shots: saying “it slips right down your throat and I’ll squirt plenty of whipped cream in your mouth” is not the best way to sell a guy on spending money for shots.

Apollo. Later this month she will return to New York to open for Robert Klein at Comix where she is a regular headliner.

In August, Sank will return for the second part of the series, I’ll Have Another Manhattan, with comedian Robin Fox.

COMIC Adam Sank returns to Cape May to host I’ll Have a Manhattan, the first of a two-part comedy series at Martini Beach this Friday, July 9. “I’m

so excited to come back to Cape May,” Sank said, “or as I like to think of it – New Jersey’s ultimate bottom.” Sank, who has been seen on NBC’s Last Comic Standing and VH-1’s Best Week Ever, will delight the audience with his irreverent observations and raunchy tales.

Sank has opened for Roseanne Barr and appeared at various New York clubs including Carolines on Broadway and Comix. After a year on the Los Angeles and San Diego stand-up circuit, Sank returned east by way of a comedy tour. He concluded his run in April by hosting the sold-out show Bait & Swish at Cabanas in Cape May.

Joining Sank is stand-up comic Karith Foster, who radio listeners will remember as Don Imus’ co-host on WABC’s Imus in the Morning. Foster’s television credits include NBC’s Today Show, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and Showtime at the

The event is on Friday July 9 at 10pm. A late-night menu will be available. Tickets are $25 and available at the door. For reservations phone 609-884-1925 or visit Martini Beach at 429 Beach Avenue in Cape May.

Spouty-OffyThe column where anonymous

gasbags have their say!

WHEN are you whippersnappers going to hold that Burns Supper again? I love George Burns! – Cape May

[Spouty Editor’s Note: Well, first of all, it is held in homor of Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet. Secondly, it will be held on Thursday, January 27, 2011 at the Ugly Mug, as always. Don’t you dare miss it, lads and lasses!]

* * *

DID the name Scott originate from Scotland? – West Cape May

* * *

SHOULDN’T Scotland really be called “Scotch-Land”... or maybe just “Sot-Land”? – Erma

* * *

THE other day I was swim-ming at The Cove beach when all of a sudden I thought I saw Nessie... but it was just Russell from Swain’s taking a dip. – Cape May

* * *

THANK goodness for Mel Gibson... he practically saved Scotland himself. – Cape May

* * *

DID scotch tape originate from Scotland? – Cape May

* * *

WHAT about hop-Scotch? – Cape May

* * *

SCOTLAND seems kind of gay to me with names like Gaelic, Peterhead and Hebrides! – Cape May

* * *

IF you call the Exit Zero office and Jack answers, tell him you like his Irish accent – he really loves that! – Cape May

* * *

I REMEMBER after eating that

Scottish ship and its men... I was drunk for a week! – Mr Spouty Offy Whale

* * *

WOW! I read on that world-wide web that the official animal of Scotland is the unicorn. And I thought they were fake! – West Cape May

* * *

NOW I am beginning to wonder if Scotland is even real... with unicorns and the Loch Ness Monster and all. Maybe Scotland is made up, too. Where is your editor REALLY from? – Erma

[Spouty Editor’s Note: Our edi-tor, Jack, is really from Scotland... Paisley to be precise.]

[Spouty Offy-er’s Note: Now I know you are lying because paisley is a pat-tern used on clothing and stuff... you guys almost had me there!]

* * *

I’VE heard of Mary, Queen of Scots, but was there a King of Scots, too? – West Cape May

* * *

I REALLY gotta get this off of my chest... a few years back I KILT a man! That’s right... put a skirt on him – what did you think I meant?! – Erma

* * *

THAT Spouty-Off above is just about the worst pun I have ever seen in my life. Hoots mon! – Stimpson Lane

Fifth Annual Fourth Of July Party Celebrated On The Second Of July

Friday, July 2 at the Wooden Rabbit

Frank Giannone, Leslie Martel, Betty and Jim Moffatt


Gene Cathrall, Lizzy Fritz, Tom and Sue Carroll

Frank and Beth Acker, Alison Bjork


WHAT could be better than planning a trip to Cape May? Planning someone else’s trip! My in-laws, Ellen and Arnie, made

an impromptu decision this past weekend to book a trip for them and their twin pugs, Irish and Puggy Sue. I believe that they were actu-ally inspired by my previous column which discussed the animal-friendly accommoda-tions and activities in Cape May. So after some consideration, they called the Marquis de Lafayette (501 Beach Avenue) and booked a three-night stay. One of the biggest selling points of the hotel? You can keep your pet in the room while you’re out and the hotel will call your mobile if your pet becomes unruly and wanton.

So they embarked on their journey the Sunday before the Fourth of July. What they didn’t count on was the ridiculously-high temperature combined with the pug con-tingency. Shortly after arriving, their dogs became overheated and they had to pay a trip to the local Acme for some rubbing alcohol.

Weary travelers take note – overheated dogs can be cooled off by applying rubbing alcohol onto their paw pads.

I had envisioned them, in my lofty day-dreams, of driving in and going for a late lunch at The Lobster House, settling into the room, taking the dogs out for a walk and exploring the town. Instead, they had a bit of stressful time settling the dogs into their new digs and new town. When I spoke with them at 8:00pm (still no lunch/dinner at this point), their plan was just to order something quick

for take-out. I referred them to the closest, quickest place I could imagine – Louie’s Pizza (711 Beach Avenue). This is our ace in the hole whenever we feel that we want something quick with little commitment. Louie’s is also directly adjacent to Avondale by the Sea, so it works for us.

The next day held more promise. An early breakfast at George’s Place, a visit to Sun-set Beach, one of the dog-friendly beaches, slightly more relaxed pugs. Of course I had to stop calling after every 20 minutes to see what they were doing. I had a list of must-see and must-do that ended up more like a stream of incoherent consciousness: George’s Place oatmeal fantastic, Mad Batter say hello to Bob for me eat a crab cake, go to Linen Outlet near CVS, eat best Dairy Queen ever in Wash-ington Mall, try free fudge sample at Fudge Kitchen, go back for three more samples, Mr Kunz will LOVE Hot Dog Tommy’s, take the ferry for outlet shopping and [deep breath] there’s so much more!

I would be ridiculously jealous if my own trip wasn’t booked the day after they return.

HAVE you ever been to Scotchland? I have, once, and I must say the experi-ence was not one to repeat. I visited at the specific

instruction of Queen Victoria, who adored the place and took issue at my oft-declared opinion that it was a land fit only for rob-bers and malcontents.

I concede that that tiny nation has pro-duced some impressive exports: Robert Burns (a drunk and an opportunist but a lyrical genius), Sir Walter Scott (self-important ass, but he could write, that is true), Alexander Graham Bell (I was the first one he called on his new telephonic device, but I mistook him for a salesmen for the Colonies seeking to sell me India and hung up), Andrew Carnegie (a damn fool with his money, but a big heart, I grant you), Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (I inspired his creation of Sherlock Holmes, of course, and the Young Albert of the day was the original Watson), Alexander Fleming (my life has been saved a time or thrice by

The country, though, is a forsaken place. For one, it is tiny: scarce larger than my garden here in Cape May. I walked it from east to west in under an hour, and north to south took 30 minutes on a steam train (25 of those were spent in the station as the kilted conductor tried to f leece pas-sengers out of every penny they had). The weather is diabolical – it rains 23 hours and 59 minutes of every day, and snows the remainder of the time.

There seem to be only a few hundred rickety people living there, and several million small, vicious, unkempt sheep – though I admit I had trouble telling the two groups apart, so the numbers may be other than indicated.

Are there mitigating factors? Well, yes: whisky and golf. And for those I forgive anything.

it in the garden if a large number of people apply. We need to know, so we can set up accordingly,” Barbara Beitel, Access to Art Director said. “If it’s in the garden people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets,” she explained.

Access to Art, an 18-year-old not-for-profit that presents the visual and perform-ing arts in Cape May County, is spending the summer exploring the concepts and

DON’T let the summer pass without visiting the Southern Mansion, an ele-gant 18th-century inn on Washington Street. Better

yet, enjoy some Elizabethan entertainment there this July 21 at 7:30pm. Dr Bertram Greenspan, chair of the Rowan University Music Department and an accomplished violinist and violist, will provide an edu-cational and entertaining introduc-tion to music of the period. Joining him will be vocalist Bart Singer performing Renaissance art songs, accompanied by Joseph Mayes on the lute; Mayes is head of the Early Music Department at Rowan. The event, structured by Dr Greenspan, emphasizes the voice, the driving aes-thetic behind both instrumental and vocal Renaissance music.

Come in costume, if you like, have a glass of wine, and step back in time as Access to Art presents a musical introduc-tion to the Renaissance. Tickets are $15 and should be reserved early. “We may host

sounds of the Renaissance in anticipation of the Cape May Renaissance Festival this fall. “We decided it would be fun to present a series of events in which people could learn a little about the period,” Beitel said. “We would like to bring some Renaissance dance to the mansion, and maybe some swordplay on the lawn a little later as we investigate Elizabethan entertainments and pastimes.”

“This year marks our 13th annual Sam Maitin Summer/Fall Chamber Music series as well,” she said. “It will culmi-nate at the beautiful vineyard of Barbara Brae Wilde in West Cape May with the Renaissance Festival on October 2 and 3. It will be beautiful in a vineyard, just like the Renaissance, where so many activities were held outdoors,” Beitel said.

Join Access to Art at the Southern Mansion for an evening of beautiful music on July 21 at 7:30pm. See and hear the rhyme and reason of Renaissance music at a fantastic venue. Reserve tickets at (609) 465-3963.

Dr Greenspan will provide an informative and entertaining introduction to early music

The $20 ticket buys you drafts, food, and live music! The event is this Sunday, July 11 from 1-5pm at Harpoon Henry’s, 91 Beach Drive in North Cape May.

«THIS summer, Wilbraham Park in West Cape May will again host two fine art shows called Art in the Park. The first show on July 24 is sponsored by the West Cape May PTA and the second, on August 21, is sponsored by the West Cape May History Com-mittee. Both shows run from 10am to 6pm in the lovely shaded park at the corners of Broadway and Sunset in West Cape May. Both shows are on a Saturday with a raindate on Sunday. Fine art-ists, mostly from the South Jersey area, will display and sell oil and pastel paintings, watercolors, sculpture, glass, photography, clay objects, handcrafted jewelry and much more. Artists must accompany their works and all work must be personally hand-made. The show is strictly juried. Food by Cape May Crab Cake company and Higher Grounds will be available. Come out and enjoy meeting the artists, strolling through the park and discov-ering some great artwork! For more information or for directions to the park, call organizer Diane Flanegan at (609) 884-9325.

«THE adventurous Captain Kidd has set sail for Historic Cape May in hopes of arriving on Sunday, July 31 for the 47th Annual Cape May Captain Kidd Treasure Hunt to be held on the beaches of the nation’s oldest seashore resort. All youngsters three to ten years of age are invited to rendezvous with Captain Will Kidd promptly at 1:00pm at Cape May Convention Hall on the 31st. Commencing from Convention Hall all youngsters will follow Captain Kidd to the buried treasure sight between Windsor and Congress Avenue beaches where approximately $150 worth of booty and gift certificates valued at $300 will be discovered by some lucky treasure seekers. Based on the increasing popularity of this exciting event City officials anticipate that over 300 boys and girls will participate this year. It is indeed a sight to behold when the Captain Kidd leads his young band of followers as they journey along Victorian Cape May’s beautiful beachfront and promenade in search of the elusive treasure. For additional infor-mation call the Department of Civic Affairs on (609) 884-9565.

The Answer LadyWise answers to perplexing questions

THE ANSWER Lady invites inquiries from gentle readers on all manners of relationship quandaries, matters of the heart, and ethics. If you’d like to send a

query, write to [email protected]. Dear Answer LadyI’ve got a major crush on a girl I work

with. We’re not usually on the same shift, which is a good thing because I can hardly function when she’s around. I’d hate to ask her out and be stuck working with her if I’m rejected. Should I wait for this feeling to pass, or for one of us to get a different job? – Tongue-tied

Dear Tied You are in a quandary, young man. Not

to add to the difficulty of your situation, but you may want to ask about the employee dating policy at your place of work. Most companies are pretty relaxed, but once in while you’ll find a company with strict policies, so keep that in mind. On the bright side, think of all the great couples in history who met at work – Antony and Cleopatra!

Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn! (Google them, if god forbid you don’t know who they are). Bonnie and Clyde! Okay, maybe Bonnie and Clyde are a bad example, but you get the Answer Lady’s gist. Go for it – if she shoots you down, get someone to switch with you if you’re working together. And remember: it’s only because the uni-verse has someone better waiting for you.

Dear Answer LadyI ran into my ex-boyfriend last week at

the Martini Beach happy hour. Two days

later I’m at dinner with my girlfriends at Hemingway’s and there he is. Last night I was picking up pizza at Blue Moon, and you guessed it – him again. No big deal, but he’s so rude to me! It didn’t end well between us, but shouldn’t he be nice when we inevitably run into one another? Cape May’s a small town! – His Ex

Dear Ex The Answer Lady’s first reaction is that

you have way more disposable income than she does, but that’s immaterial. This IS a small town, and the Answer Lady’s credo is civility at all costs. It doesn’t sound like the gentleman is actually stalking you, rather that you share many of the same hang-outs. You could, in the interest of civility, vary your routine. Try happy hour at the Harbor View, dinner at Marie Nicole’s and pizza from Lucky Bones (get the prosciutto with arugula – OUTSTANDING). This may give your former beau time to get over the sting of your break-up, and he’ll treat you better. Or not.

the investigator, his partner and the journalist who thought they could outsmart him. Him! The one who had managed to kill seven people leaving neither footprint nor follicle behind. He admired their audacity of hope, but thrilled with the knowledge that they too would soon fall beneath his proverbial boot, though in actuality he preferred a knife, bat, or wood chipper.

“All of the Good Stuff...

None of the Bad Stuff”

the papers explaining the demons in his head. He had no demons – only a mission. There would be no cryptic phone calls to the police hotlines. Unlike the Bundys and Mansons of the world, he had no desire for fame and notoriety. He just wanted to get his and go away. He would take as long as it took, claim as many as needed to be claimed, any means to his end.

This next chapter would likely be the last, the dénouement to his magnum opus. But first, he needed to sweat. So he grabbed his bag, powered down his laptop, and set off to North Beach Gym where, he hoped, the gay restaurant owner might proposition him again. Today he might get a surprising reply to his joking come-ons. Or a knife in the throat.

He made a mental note to stop by Dellas’ for more rain gear. His last set had been swept to sea and he had business tonight.

***

I WOKE up in my computer chair with a pounding headache. I had always thought the chair pretty comfortable, but not anymore. The headache, I’m sure, came from my awful posture, the wine, the thick, garlicky pizza, and the stress.

The stress existed on several levels. Not only was I about to put myself in the path of a maniac – again – but I was also dealing with unforeseeable complications in my romantic life. Two days ago I had none to speak of, and given how I felt currently, I could have happily gone on that way. As it was, I was now juggling two girls. My old high school flame, Cathy Steltzer, had showed up after see-ing me on the news last summer in the wake of Dead & Breakfast. Cathy was the same soft, beauti-ful girl she had been 15 years ago when we’d had our often-contem-plated, never-consummated dalli-ances. Then there was Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Daryl Vance, Cathy’s physical opposite; all hard lines and angles where Cathy was roundly feminine.

Amazingly, both women had thrown themselves at me last night. Amazingly, I rejected both of them. Am I not a playa?

I shouldn’t bitch, though. One of the reasons I became a PI was the romantic notion that ladies loved PI’s – for a year this proved patently false, but for 12 hours had proved patently complicating.

I yawned, rubbed my eyes and looked up at my cheap Office Depot clock; 7:03am. I then prom-ised myself that, if and when I ever got some more money together, I would get a cool Jiminy Cricket or Pinocchio clock, something Elvis Cole would hang in his office. Robert Crais’ novels were another reason I wanted to become a PI. Elvis Cole was cool. If I did what he did, wouldn’t I be cool, too?

Anyway, now both Cathy and Daryl were gone, Cathy in an angry skid of gravel, Daryl in embar-rassed silence.

From the buzz saw noises emanating from his office, it appeared that Tim Demarco, my partner, had also spent the night. It occurred to me that if I could ever get anybody to rent the apartments in the building I owned out front, I could stick a trundle bed in the records room and effectively live out of my office. Would sure help with the mortgage.

Oh yeah, impending financial ruin also added to my headache – the upper left part of it, specifically. Just another wonderful morn-ing here at Whitaker & DeMarco Investigations.

I shuffled past the Japanese curtains behind my desk to the little sink that was half of a kitch-enette. I could totally live back here! I swigged a glass of water and set-up the coffee machine with my

favorite; Wawa Raspberry Mocha. Tim was always busting my chops about the girly coffees I drank and, well, he was right to. What self-respecting, hard-boiled PI drank coffee that smelled like Ladies Room potpourri?

“Morning,” he croaked. He looked as well-rested as I; not very.

“Coffee’s on.”He yawned, “That’s not coffee,

that’s what my mother uses to–”“I get it.”Tim poured himself a glass of

OJ from the little fridge. I asked him, “What the hell was going on with you last night, Mr. Sexy Eyes-Fancy Pants?”

He smiled. “I was just having fun with you. I know you don’t get a lot of female attention like I do…”

Thanks.“… and now you got two at

once… How could I resist?”“You knew Daryl liked me?”Tim shrugged. “The way she

tore into you at that press confer-ence, I knew she at least thought you were cute,” – he pinched my cheek – “which you are.”

“Stop.”“And Cathy… forget about it.

Second she walked into the Exit Zero Store she was undressing you with her eyes. Girl’s in heat.”

He was teasing me for playing Casanova so poorly, but it did make me feel pretty good to have two such different, beautiful women digging me. I don’t get a lot of that.

“Look at you,” Tim said airily. “All flush with new love.”

“New doesn’t cover it.”Tim chuckled. “Check the

computer yet?”Criminy! I’d almost forgot.

“Come with me.”Back at my desk I opened

Internet Explorer and went to my bookmarks. My inside police source, the one I hadn’t soured yet, told me he believed The Editor first contacted his victims via the Internet; personal blogs and social networking sites. So that morn-ing, Tim, Daryl, Exit Zero publisher Donal Lonegan and I opened one of each under my name.

My Exit Zero blog, where I’d written a few paragraphs teasing my Dead & Breakfast book, had been viewed by a grand total of… three people. There were no entries in the reader comment section. Strike 1.

Next we checked my MySpace account. I’m told MySpace is a dying breed, aced out by edgier and hipper sites. Still, we figured it worth a shot. I logged in and read several emails asking me to join Vampire Clans and Mafia Families, along with some spam mails invit-ing me to view scantily clad teens “from your area!” Strike 2.

Last, we logged into my Facebook. Apparently, Facebook is where it’s at. We thought about a Twitter account but, as a man, I refuse to Tweet. I had uploaded a decent photo from the Exit Zero archives and filled out all the requi-site information; birthday, home-town, political leanings, etc., and copied the same paragraphs from my Exit Zero blog. The book didn’t actually exist, but that was neither here nor there.

A couple of red flags informed me of waiting email and friend requests. There were many. Most of the friends I knew tangentially from around town, acquaintances, really, as I didn’t have many friends. Several I didn’t know but had mutual friends with. No killers yet

Tim said, “You really should have done this Facebook thing earlier, like I told you. People are always looking for lost kids or bikes or cats and dogs.”

“Well I’m doing it now, aren’t I?” I answered defensively.

“Yeah, three years after every-one else in the world.”

“Call me old-fashioned.”I clicked on my messages and

scanned the first 12 emails; they were of the “Welcome to Facebook” and, picking up on Tim’s frequency, “so nice to see you’ve joined the 21st century” variety. The last one, however, may as well have been titled “BINGO!”

“Your Book,” was the topic. “I have some information you may like to acquire,” read the body.

Home. Run.

It went on, “Please reply ASAP to set up a meeting.”

“Got him,” Tim said excitedly. Was he drinking my girly coffee?

I agreed, “Let’s get moving. You go clean up, I’ll work on this.”

“Yes sir, sir,” Tim said and saluted me. Ball breaker.

He took off; I clicked on the sender’s profile which identified him only as “Book Fan”. Not surprisingly, it was almost completely blank: no info, no photo, nothing beyond the name. I clicked “Add As Friend”, added “My Book” to the email header, clicked “Send” and waited. In the bottom right corner was a box that let you know which of your friends was currently online and available to chat. I opened it and got up for a cup of coffee. I took a sip, burnt my lip, and sat back down at the desk. Now it was a waiting game.

Bloop!Book Fan appeared online. I clicked on his

name and a little chat box opened.“Hello,” I wrote.“Hello,” came the reply.“Got ur email. Wattup?” The detective as

shorthand chat artist.“I’ve got info may be useful for ur book,

to this.”There was a long pause.“Hello?” I typed.“Thinking…”“Take ur time.”I waited another minute before Book Fan

wrote back, “OK. Bring editor. But no notes, no cameras. Deal?”

“Deal.” Yes!“Sorry so fussy,” Book Fan wrote.“Long as ur not some crazy person. Lol.”“Lol… no. Just enjoy my privacy. Lol. :) ““Understood. How will I recognize?”“Raincoat and hat.”

“Lol… calling for rain?”“Cape May you never know. C U then.”“K thx bye.”I logged out, trembling. Tim emerged from

the shower.“So?”I smiled.“Good work.”“Thanks. And, uh, would you mind wearing

that towel around you waist?”Tim did so, for which I was grateful. Then

I picked up the phone and called my police source. It was only fair to keep him in the loop after all the risks he’d taken. When he answered I filled him in, then he gave me some pretty sen-sitive information himself. I took notes, thanked him, and hung up. It was now 8am. We had 16 hours to get this right. It was our only chance.

***

AT 11:30 that morning we gathered at the Exit Zero Store & Global HQ, a hybrid merchan-dise store/office from whence Exit Zero maga-zine sprang each week. We sat upstairs and ran through the plan. Exit Zero authors Sam Howard and David McComsey would stay here with Tim under safekeeping. I guessed that The Editor may be setting us up for a distraction. I’m

a PI. I think like that sometimes.Daryl Vance would stay with

them. She’d called her Inquirer edi-tor and explained she was working on a blockbuster. He encouraged her to do so. Lonegan and I would meet the whacko at the cove.

I was bringing Lonegan for two reasons. First, if the Book Fan indeed turned out to be sell-ing information regarding Dead & Breakfast (I found this dubi-ous since I had worked the case and knew everything there was to know about the cannibalistic ritu-als that took place beneath Cape May) I would need Lonegan there to negotiate the process of acquir-ing it or debunking it.

The second reason was more practical; he might recognize the psycho as the psycho before he could do any psycho things. Seemed reasonable, he agreed.

“Okay,” I said. “Donal and I should be back within the hour. If not, send in the Marines.”

Everyone chuckled at my false bravado, but I had to convince them, and myself, that I wasn’t scared half-to-death, which I was.

“Good luck,” Sam Howard said and shook my hand. “I appreciate this to no end.”

I shook back. “Buy me a beer at the Mug later.”

He frowned. “I don’t drink.”Buzz kill.McComsey came up, looking

dour, which was as close as he got to looking grateful. “What Sam said, me too. I’ll but you two beers.”

Sam and David drifted off with Lonegan. Daryl approached.

“Hey you,” I said.She smiled wanly.“Listen,” I said. “I have to ask;

why didn’t you give McComsey’s book a chance? Guy’s pretty beat up his book’s not selling while you slobber all over Howard’s door-stop.”

She regarded me calmly. “Believe me; I did give it a fair shake. My review didn’t run because my editor found it too hurtful. I was just trying to be even-handed. It’s not a very good book. Trust me.”

“And Howard’s?”She smiled, “You read the

review; best book of its kind ever written. But I think it’s cute how you pull for the underdog.”

“So does my bookie.”“If it means anything, I think

McComsey has more talent as a writer, he just needs to hone it. Then he’ll write a truly great book. Howard’s an excellent researcher, but he’s not exactly Hemingway at turning a phrase. And calling a book about Cape May the best of its kind is the definition of damn-ing with faint praise. It might be the only book of its kind.”

Sam Howard was standing next to her. He walked away blank-ly. Daryl grimaced.

“Well,” I said, “now he knows.”She grabbed my shirt. “Don’t

do anything crazy. If it looks bad, get away. I’d like you to come back in one piece, even if it’s not to me.”

She smiled warmly but there was hurt in it.

I said. “I told you last night, you’re awesome. It’s just this other thing. I need to give it a chance, see if it’s real. It’s been fifteen years. I owe Cathy that much.”

She lowered her eyes, kissed my cheek.

“Just in case,” she pressed a key into my hand, “I’m at the Grand.”

Why, Lord? Why today?“Okay,” I said and pocketed the

key.Tim chucked my shoulder.

“You ready, boss man?”I nodded.“Remember,” Tim said, “Stick

to the plan.”I nodded again. “Lonegan. Go

time.”We shook hands all around,

then the two of us made our way into the night. We weren’t sure what awaited us; odds are it would be just a lonely guy looking for a conversation. Odds were also that it was a psychotic killer waiting to pump some bullets into my face. Odds were also that it would be a big nothing.

But odds and me… we never got along.

Cape CuriosityA weekly historical column by Ben Miller, author of the best-selling “The First Resort”

WHEN most people think of Cape May, they think of beaches, restaurants, shops and local sights. Few visitors give a

second thought to the local fishing industry, assuming it’s probably small or locally-oriented, fitting the small town feel of Cape May.

In fact, the Cape May port is the third-largest on the entire eastern coast of the United States in terms of total catch, and the fourth most valuable fishing port in America, with annual grosses around $74 million.

The Cape has been a fishing mecca since the 1700s. Early Dutch settlers tried to establish a whaling port even earlier but were wholly unsuccessful. Later colonists continued to pursue whale, and though they were equally luckless their early docks on Schellenger’s Landing were the foundation for today’s Fishermen’s Wharf.

These days, commercial fishermen trawl the area just off Cape May in the Atlantic and the Delaware Bay, catching a variety of fish

“He hushed the storm to a gentle breeze and the billows of the sea were stalled.” –

Inscription on Fishermen’s Memorial Ben Miller

Both the ‘Ralph J’ and the ‘Captain Johnson’ fishing boats were built by Captain Ralph

Johnson’s father, Thomas. Don Pocher

and shellfish. Each year they bring in 50 to 75 million pounds of mackerel, fluke, floun-der, sea bass, lobster and sea scallops – the latter are the lifeblood of the industry.

Years ago mackerel was the big catch in Cape May. An article in the Boston Commercial Gazette on May 23, 1825 remarked, “Our correspondent at Cape Island, writes to us under date of May 16th, that there was about one hundred and thirty sail of vessels then lying at anchor on Cape May Roads, most of them vessels fitted out in ports to the north of Boston, for Mackerel fishing. Each will carry from 200 to 250 bar-rels, and having mostly made up their loads, they are only waiting for a fair wind to sail to New York.”

That same article goes on to say, “The situation of Cape Island is such as to ren-der it a suitable place for carrying on the Mackerel fishery extensively; and if any of the capitalists of Philadelphia choose to engage in business, they can procure hood hands in abundance in the immediate vicin-ity of the fishing ground.”

Today’s sport fishermen and party boats report catches of Atlantic croakers, black drum, blackfish, bluefish, clams, cod, crab,

Cape Curiosity?From Page 101

flounder, fluke, kingfish, lobster, mackerel, mahi mahi, marlin, menhaden, mullet, pol-lock, porgies, salt oysters, sea bass, sea scal-lops, shark, speckled trout, squid, striped bass, swordfish, tuna and weakfish.

Traditionally piers offered the best fishing in Cape May and were situated at

Convention Hall, the foot of Decatur Street, Sunset Beach and other points around the island. Unfortunately none of these piers have survived the frequent storm surges that have hit the coast over the years.

The Cape’s location where the Delaware and Atlantic converge can create powerful currents and unpredictable weather. Even the abandoned WWII bunker is no longer available for fishing, after many years of anglers being able to climb a staircase to the top and position their rods over the edge. While currents and catches may change over time, the Cape May fishing industry remains an important fixture of our local culture and economy.

FAMILY-FRIENDLYCape May has a great variety of activities that you can enjoy with the entire family. Here is a great list of ideas to get you started.

1. Morey’s PiersThe Wildwood Boardwalk is now home to the big-gest attraction the Jersey Shore has seen in years. The Ghost Ship, unveiled Memorial Day Weekend, is a one-of-a-kind haunted attraction featuring anima-tronics, a scary soundtrack and live actors. Wind your way through the maze-like course of a wrecked ship that appears it has crashed right into Morey’s Piers.2. Cape May-Lewes Ferry Take a trip over to Lewes, Delaware, a small, quaint seaside town, then make sure you check out bustling Rehoboth Beach, the Fenwick Island Lighthouse or Cape Henlopen State Park. You can also take advan-tage of the tax-free shopping at the outlets. Or just enjoy the quiet and vastness of the bay on the deck of the ferry as you watch for dolphins and whales. For more information or to book a reservation, call 800-64-FERRY or visit capemaylewesferry.com.3. Historic Cold Spring VillageEver wonder what it was like to live in Cape May 200 years ago? The answer can be found at this open-air living history museum, a seven-minute drive from town. Through interactive, and hands-on activities,

visitors can make a connection with the past by expe-riencing it. The many authentically-restored homes amid idyllic shaded areas make it hard not to feel like Abe Lincoln’s in office… and it’s even easier when the Civil War re-enactment rolls into town. Cold Spring is a can’t-miss for history buffs. Give them a call at (609) 898-2300 or visit their website at www.hcsv.org.4. Whale and Dolphin WatchingDolphins are fairly common in the waters off Cape May, but it’s still a joy to see them. Cape May Whale & Dolphin Watch and Research Center offers you the best chance to see them up close. And, you might even see a whale. Tours take off at Wilson Avenue. You can see it on your left as you cross the small bridge before the Lobster House on your way out of town. For direc-tions or more information, call (609) 898-0055 or visit them on the web at www.capemaywhalewatch.com.5. Cape May Family Treasure HuntDiscover the fun of exploring Cape May and uncover-ing its architectural elements from a kid’s perspective. Packet includes a clue sheet and map that will take you on a self-guided discovery tour. Packets for the entire family are available for $5. For more information, call (609) 884-5404 or visit www.capemaymac.org.6. Antiquing For a different kind of treasure hunt, check out the amazing variety of antique shops that are available in Cape May – just don’t get disheartened when you see

your favorite childhood toy selling for $100. Here are some treasure troves (all 609 area code): Antiques Emporia, 405 West Perry Street (898-3332), Bridgetowne Antiques, Broad-way and Mechanic (884-8107), Out of The Past Antiques, 394 Myrtle Avenue, corner of Perry (884-3357), Cape May Antique Center, 1228 Route 109 (898-4449). 7. Cape May Lighthouse, Oil House, Museum ShopThe structure, built in 1859, has 199 steps leading to the watch gallery with a panoramic view of the Jersey Cape, Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Admis-sion to the Visitors’ Orientation Center and the ground floor of the Lighthouse is free. Tower admission is $7 for adults and $3 for children. For more information, call (609) 884-5404 or visit www.capemaymac.org. 8. Bay Springs Alpaca FarmThis one’s hard to believe, but Cape May has an Alpaca Farm. Near the end of beautiful New England Road, Warren and Barbara Nuessle live what they call the “alpaca lifestyle” – quiet and simple. Visit them between 10am and 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays and see how alpaca fiber is spun into yarn, or shop at their store which carries many alpaca related items (forget wool; go with an alpaca sweater this winter!) And don’t forget to greet the grazing alpacas – they make it all possible. Call (609) 884-0563 or visit www.bay-springsalpacas.comfor more information.

Or why not explore Cumberland County, home to bald eagles and Port Norris, the one-time oyster capital of the world? Make sure you don’t miss the A.J. Meerwald, the lovely and historic Delaware Bay oyster schooner.17. Cape May County ZooHow much would you expect to pay to see 200 spe-cies and a total of 550 animals from around the world?

The zoo features a reptile room, world of birds and an African Savanna in its 80 acres of property. Open daily from 10am-4:45pm, the zoo is just off Exit 11 on the Parkway.

Activity Of The WeekA weekly column by Catherine Dugan. This week: The Great American Backyard Campout.

WORRIED your family spends too much time before TV and computer screens? Consider taking the

kids camping. According to the National Wildlife Federation, camping is “the ideal solution for today’s indoor kids” because it "helps children grow lean and strong, enhances creativity, decreases aggression, and boosts classroom performance. Bottom line – healthier, happier kids.” This year, the Nature Center of Cape May and New Jersey Audubon joined the National Wildlife Federation’s Great American Backyard Campout on June 26 and invited the public to spend the night in their backyard. Naturalists Kim Hannum and Sue Slotterback organized the event.

The program quickly filled up. If camping in your own backyard with a couple of kids is fun, camping with MORE kids is even MORE fun. After a few ice-breaking activities – making f lags to mark our tents, tasting pickleweed plucked from beach –

the group began to gel. Carl Behrens, who usually earns more than a couple of s’mores for his talents, strummed his guitar and sang around the campfire. New friendships were cemented with marshmallow goo.

Then the kids took charge of their own fun, just as their parents did way back when. Hide-and-seek in the dark outside is still a great game, especially if you’re small enough to blend in with a picnic bench by stretching out on it. Catching lightning bugs is still a

thrill. Flashlights and cameras still create mysterious combinations. And a full moon is still a great backdrop for a ghost story.

In this on-demand culture, camping teaches patience and planning. You have to plan dinner before you’re hungry, and pitch the tent before you're sleepy. You have to work: you can’t slide into your chair, hand still warm from the television remote, just as dinner hits the table. Even little campers have to help out, carrying their own gear and gathering sticks for kindling.

Sure, camping has its drawbacks. In close quarters you hear your neighbor’s snores and fussy children, but you also hear giggles and lullabies. You learn that Listerine is an effective insect repellent, that crabs taste better cracked over a bucket and shared, and that the number of marshmallows you roast never equals the number you wish to eat. Make a memory – take the kids camping!

pouring in. For the first time, Cape May Stage is producing shows cast entirely from our acting interns and stage managed by our stage management interns.

We have interns from North Carolina, Nevada, Connecticut and Philadelphia as well as local students in Cape May. They will perform family entertainment called Cape May Kids, written by Marlena Lus-tik about Cape May in the 1950s that is nostalgic for grandparents and hilarious for children. That show will be performed on Monday mornings through August 16 at 10am in the Robert Shackleton Playhouse.

Rich Orloff’s Romantic Fools will be performed by our interns after the main stage production on Saturday nights in July.

Come see I Hate Hamlet or Romance/Romance and stay for this sexy and fun show! Or just come for Romantic Fools and have a romantic dinner first!

The Movie ColumnThe first of three 2010 Young Filmmaker Camps reviewed by Tom Sims

ARE we ready for Victorian gangstas? We better be, because TC Legit is in the house! The gang was intro-duced to us by way of a short

film (bearing its name) last Friday night at the premiere of four new films from the first of this year’s Young Filmmakers Camps. Meet the gang: Crayola (the lead-er), Four (who avoids soap), and Da Bull (who loves his Red Bull). What does the “TC” stand for? In his best gangsta accent Crayola explains, “It stands for ‘tea cups,’ because tea cups are legit. We respect the city’s Victorian roots!”

Or how about the family that texts together, stays together? The short film OMG chinze RULZ starts with a family eating a Chinese dinner and texting one another to “Please pass the peanut sauce” or remark “These egg rolls are gr8!” But what happens when someone enters and actually wants to talk to her family?

In Boys on the Beach, two teenaged friends are playing basketball when one

We start Film Camp week with lots of ideas and a few cameras. We conclude with smart, well-crafted films from the minds and collaboration of our young people. Congratulations to students Josh Breslin, Mike Giansante, Michael Hall, Colin Larimer, Natalie Rudakevych, Caleb Shafer, Julia Sims, and Russ Sperry. A spe-cial thanks to instructors Meighan Hogate, Dennis Zaitsev, Huxley Monaco, Peter Grana, and Jon Gibson. Have your Young Filmmaker join us for Music Video Camp July 19-23 and “Cape May Shorts” August 2-6. World premiere screenings of these films will be on Fridays July 23 and August 6.

Because now is when the vast majority of resident nesting birds are putting out their crop of young birds.

In the next few weeks visitors to Cape May will see growing numbers of Tree Swallows. The first brood will be on the wing by the first week in July. They f lock to Cape May to take advantage of the abun-dant insects crowding our airspace.

Bird DroppingsThe weekly report from the world’s birdwatching capital... by Seymore Thanu


READY or not, here they come. Tourists? No. Baby birds. Since last January, adult birds have been busy cranking out a new batch of nestlings. The

quill has been passed to a new generation.First on the wing were early nesters

like Downy Woodpecker, White-Breasted Nuthatch, Carolina Chickadee.

What gives these birds the edge? They all share the same nesting strategy.

Each of these species are cavity nest-ers. They nest early (in April) because snug in their wood-lined cavities they can beat winter’s lingering chill. Other early nesters include European Starling, House Sparrow, and House Finch.

You guessed it. Cavity nesters all.But there are other species that keep

early egg dates and open nests. Among them is American Robin. Heck, I had my first young robin this year on May 20. American Crow and Grackles also f ledge young at about the time most other species are incubating eggs.

So why write this column now?

Tens of thousands of swallows. Foraging by day. Gathering in communal roosts by night.

Out on the marshes, young Laughing Gulls will also be venturing out into the world. The loud “laughing” call of adults will be drowned out by the food-begging calls of young.

Young warblers, vireos, f lycatchers and sparrows will also be leaving the nest. Getting used to the neighborhood. Ranging farther and farther from home as summer progresses.

Life doesn’t come with a blueprint; except that which is imprinted in their bird brains. There’s lots of trial and error; a steep learning curve. Many will fail to make the grade.

This means they die.Well sure, you are thinking. Everybody

knows that there is some mortality among young of any species.

Uh-huh. But with birds, nearly 90% don’t reach maturity. One of the big cuts in

the ranks of young birds comes in the first couple of weeks out of the nest.

Birds have figured out how to compensate for this loss in one of two ways. Some species (including many shorebirds) produce few young per season but as adults live long lives. They breed many times over the course of many years. Other species crank out lots of young at a sitting and nest two, even three times a breeding season.

Eastern Bluebird and American Robin fall into this category. They don’t live as long as, say Black-bellied Plovers, but produce in their shorter lives comparable numbers of young.

What does this mean for humans? Nothing. You can be aware or not. Life goes on whether humans sanctify it with awareness.

But for those so attuned, during the next several weeks Cape May is going to be inun-dated with newly f ledged young birds.

Kind of restores your faith, doesn’t it? Makes you think that maybe, despite all the challenges our species throws at nature, things will turn out okay in the end.

Now is the time to see all the new parents feeding their young, especially on one of the Cape May Bird Observatory’s weekly walks or boat trips.

The CMBO, THE place for

anything to do with nature, offers activities daily. The CMBO (609-884-2736) is located at 701 East Lake Drive overlooking lovely Lake Lily in Cape May Point and is open 9:30am to 4:30pm every day. Ask any of our staff or volun-teers – they are always glad to help with anything you need – even things you didn’t know you needed yet. While there, pick up our schedule of daily activities, check out the view of the lake from the wide selec-tion of scopes and binoculars, or peruse the latest in books, bird feeders, and our great new merchandise – including the exclusive CMBO logo jewelry, clothing, totes, and more.

Take a look at the sight-ings log or our website to check what’s being seen, scan the bookshelves, pick up a bar-gain from the used and vintage books section, look at some of the wonderful Charley Harper merchandise, or just browse. And if you aren’t fortunate enough to be in the area, visit us online www.BirdCapeMay.org, where birding Cape May is only a click away.

Real Estate RewindReport from the wonderful world of Cape May property... by Chri s Bezaire

LOOKS like it is going to be a long, hot summer. And I can tell you that if the record heat is necessary to keep the real estate market hot, I say bring it on! We had 17 transactions

in June, almost double what we had in May and almost the same number of transactions we had in April and May combined!

Let's start with the "Big One". I am sure that some of you by now have heard that the Peter Shields has sold. It was sold by the Batman and Robin of Real Estate – Brian and Greg Giancola of Coldwell Banker Sol Needles (you will have to ask them which is which!) for $5,000,000. This is a great sign for our market, as usually once peo-ple see the big spenders back in the game, they feel a little better about the market.

That wasn't the only large transaction we had as 17 Jefferson, listed by Pat Schanz of Coastline Realty, was sold for $1,090,000 by Lee Marcotte of By the Sea Realty. Also sold was 25 Mount Vernon Avenue, listed by Heather Turner of Jersey Cape Realty and sold by Tom "Do you really want me to teach your kids math?" Shagren, also of Jersey Cape Realty for

$820,000, another nice number. Another Vacant lot sold in West Cape May

– 123 Fourth Avenue was listed by Dagmer Chew of HomeStead and sold for $205,000 by Patti Piacentine, of HomeStead. A one-bed-room unit at the newly remodeled 211 Beach Avenue, listed by Bill Bezaire of Coldwell Banker Sol Needles, was sold for $290,000 by Kathy Nace of HomeStead. Finally, from the "I told you I would sell it" category – Unit 4 at 232 Windsor Street was listed and sold by Justin Aftanis of Cape May Realty for $575,000. E-mail me if you would like a full list of the action in June.

This week's tip focuses on the seller. As evi-denced above, things are starting to move, and that has some people asking, "Why hasn't my property sold?" An agent in my office the other day pointed out he is getting a lot of action on new listings while some of the older ones are still sitting there. It got us to thinking why? We first looked at the obvious question, "Is it over-priced?" We are now getting some stable comps for our market and it may be time to look at your property's price. If you pointed to a sale recently and said it was a fluke, you may want to look

again. One is a fluke, two becomes a pattern. So if price isn't the problem, what is? Some

properties have been sitting out there a long time, but have adjusted and are priced where they should be. Sometimes a change of scenery is good. Revisit your media – pictures, video. People are visual by nature and most of them start by looking on the internet before they ever pick up a phone. Do you still have a picture with snow in it? Have you made improvements that are not included in the photos. Refreshing all of these things can help. Finally, sometimes chang-ing the listing agent can also help. As an agent we realize sometimes that we have had over a year to sell your property and you are not going to hurt our feelings if you try someone else. We only ask this – keep everything equal. Give your current agent a chance at a lower price before you re-list with someone else. Sometimes a change of sign on the yard is all it takes.
