“Best known for Nonna Maria Pizza”
CAPE MAY - In many cul-tures, the return of winter signaled the return of sto-rytelling. Stories form the founda on of our daily lives and dreams. They help us discover our place in the world as we create our life story. They teach us what it is to be human. Stories also teach us about the place we call home, as they prepare us to leave it. They map the contours of struggle, the triumph of the human spirit and the meless connec on of people to land and to each other. Stories ma er.
Story-telling is a trans-forma ve art. Good story-telling pierces the heart, opening it to possibility. Through story-telling… and story-listening… emotion flows like water, eroding and revealing the bones
of truth. Stories are fun-damental to teaching and learning. All great teachers are great storytellers; all great storytellers are great story-listeners. Storytelling builds community, revealing common ground, moving the community to action. In community, anything is possible.
Join Friends of Cape May Na onal Wildlife Refuge for this free storytelling pro-gram on Thursday evening, Feb. 6, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Two Mile Beach Visi-tor Contact Sta on, 12001 Pacifi c Ave (Ocean Dr.), near the former Coast Guard Lo-ran sta on. This 2-hour ses-sion, presented by Monarch Teacher Network’s Erik Mol-lenhauer and Brian Hayes, is
intended to bring together a small group of educators, parents, grandparents and other adults who want to learn about the art of per-sonal and environmental storytelling. Participants will share a short personal or tradi onal story. Sessions are free, but space is limited to 20 participants. Please call 609-513-9349 for more informa on or to register. Note: This program is open to adults only.
Par cipants will receive:- Opportuni es to hear,
tell and share stories- Basic instruc on in sto-
rytelling arts- Storytelling resources- Professional develop-
ment credits (teachers)

Jersey Shore Pops Performs First Out of State ConcertCOURT HOUSE - Linda
Gen lle & The Jersey Shore Pops performed their fi rst out of state concert to rave reviews this past Jan. 11, 2014 in Lansdale, Pennsyl-vania. The popular Cape May County based orches-tra was invited by the his-toric Lansdale Community Concert Associa on to per-form during their 67th Sea-son. Lansdale Community Concerts, Inc. is a volunteer organiza on that has been bringing live professional musical performances to the North Penn area since 1947.
The concert associa on has brought the top orches-tra’s in the world to perform for their audiences includ-ing: The Philadelphia Or-chestra, The Cincinna Sym-phony, The Atlanta Sympho-ny with Andre Wa s Pianist, The Baltimore Symphony, The Bolshoi Symphony, The Hungarian Symphony, The New Orleans Philharmonic, The Rochester Philharmon-ic, The Budapest Symphony, The Deutsche Philharmonic, The Russian Na onal Sym-phony Orchestra, The Czech Symphony Orchestra , The Capetown Philharmonic, The Nordwest Deutsche Philharmonic, The Warsaw Symphony and The Boston Pops with Keith Lockhart.
The orchestra’s conduc-tor and music director Linda Gentille comments, “We were thrilled to be invited to perform for the Lans-dale Community Concert Association. It was quite an honor considering the associa on has invited the top pop orchestra’s in the US to perform for them including The Boston Pops and The Preserva on Hall Jazz Band. This concert was the highlight of our career so far.”
The President of the Lans-dale Community Concerts, Don Souder, fi rst met Gen- lle at a music conference
5 years ago in Nashville, TN. The conference is a networking opportunity for music venues and present-ers to fi nd talent for their concert series or venues. Souder was so impressed with Gentille’s talent and entertainment skills, but explained that their season ticket subscription series of 1800 patrons wanted large scale shows only. The following year at another conference, Gentille be-gan discussing her new orchestra with Souder and he immediately knew that the large 28 member pops orchestra would appeal to his patrons.
The sold out concert of 1800 people were thrilled with the variety of music and the amazing soloists that the orchestra featured. One of the highlights of the concert was with the orchestra’s Concert Mistress Susan Elsayed who per-formed a rendi on of music from Fiddler on the Roof while roaming through the audience. Other highlights included Cliff ord Buggs on the trumpet, Walt Palm-er and Paul Butler on the clarinet. Vocalist Jacklyn Buckingham stunned the audience with her gorgeous rendi on of Don’t Cry For Me Argen na. But the night clearly belonged to the con-ductor and star of the show, Linda Gentille. She was a combina on of Liberace and
Victor Borge and displayed both her comedic and musi-cal skills. Dr. Nick Holland, president of the orchestra commented, “Many people le the theater commen ng this was the best concert they had ever seen. The
orchestra and Linda were at the top of their game. We know that many of the audi-ence that a ended tonight’s show will be soon becoming season cket holders for our season as well. Luckily the Lansdale Community Con-
cert Associa on is a winter season, and ours is a sum-mer season so there is no compe on to worry about. We complement each oth-ers organiza ons.”

Making the Perfect Cake ChoiceBy Megan Kummer
Want your cake to wow? Here's how to guarantee confection
perfection.
1. Do your research. Give yourself a three to six month
window to search for the cake designer you believe would best suit your needs. Believe it or not, some bakers' schedules start to fi ll up a year in advance.
Where do you start? Word of mouth is o en the most powerful and reliable tool. Ask recently married friends, friends of friends, or even family members for their recommenda ons and reviews.
Next, do extensive online research. First, visit general wedding planning sites to skim feedback from real couples. Then visit your preferred bakery's website to fl ip through images of their recent work. If their gallery has not been updated in a while, chances are that their style is also not up-to-date. You want to work with a bakery with vast experience and that seeks to ac vely share this experience with poten al customers.
Before making your fi nal commitment, be sure to visit the bakery in person and meet with the staff. It's important to walk out of the bakery with an image of the cake — either drawn by hand or rendered via computer — so that there aren't any surprises. If you don't feel en rely comfortable with the bakery staff , you won't be happy with your cake. The ideal cake designer is someone whose personality sets you at ease and with whom you communicate well.
Here are some of our favorites:

asweetmemory.net/gallery/wedding-cakes/.
2. Keep communi-cation lines open.
A er you've booked your cake designer, you will begin to create the cake. Share pho-tos of cakes from magazines or websites that have dazzled you. Brief your designer on your wedding's important fea-tures – loca on, dress code, the design of your dress, color scheme, fl ower choices, and the menu. Some pros even request that you share your invi a on with them, as they
may fi nd its look and theme inspiring. Next comes arguably the best part of the
process – taste tes ng. Be sure to taste four or fi ve cake-and-fi lling combina ons before you se le on your favorite. Some fruit fl avors, such as mango, are best suited for summer weddings. However, white chocolate and raspberry are excellent year-round picks.
Keep in mind that price will be based on the size of the cake, the amount of labor needed to create it and the cost of its in-gredients. More reputable bakeries o en charge more.
3. Feeling uninspired? Try a cake trend.
Matching the bride's dress to the cake has been a big trend these past few seasons. There's also been a marked return to classic
bu ercream fros ng. This original style of fros ng tends to look more realis c and has a richer fl avor than modern fros ngs.
As for shapes, ovals have burst onto the wedding cake scene. Round is tradi onal, square can be a nice twist, but oval-shaped cakes allow designers a lot more room to get crea ve.
4. Avoid these cake mistakes.• Wai ng un l the last minute to start the design and
ordering process. Custom cakes are a whole diff erent ball game than a personalized birthday or anniversary cake. Spe-cial ingredients and decora ons may need to be ordered or even created from scratch, which takes a considerable deal of experimenta on. The more me the bakery has to perfect your custom details, the more you'll love the fi nished product.
• Allowing too many chefs in your proverbial wed-ding cake kitchen. When there are too many
people providing design and fl avor input, it becomes diffi cult to remain focused and calm. It's best to keep your tas ng
entourage down to one or two people at the most. Your confec on deci-
s ion is ul mately up to what feels
good to YOU.

East Lynne Receive Great Response at DrumthwacketCAPE MAY - The recent partnership between The
Drumthwacket Founda on, The Garden Club of New Jersey, and The New Jersey Theatre Alliance brought about a suc-cessful team for decora ng Drumthwacket, the Governor's residence in Princeton. So popular was this event, named "Drumthwacket on Stage," that the Founda on added another holiday open house to the previously scheduled three, and over 4,000 people visited the Victorian mansion to see it all decked out during the month of December. Media coverage throughout the state was impressive, including a piece on NJTV.
Back in April, when the Drumthwacket Founda on asked the New Jersey Theatre Alliance if its members would be interested in helping The Garden Club of New Jersey decorate this prestigious residence, East Lynne Theater Company, based in Cape May, NJ, was among the theaters to say "yes." The Drumthwacket Founda on is a non-profi t, non-par san organiza on that counts among its missions the preserva on of the Drumthwacket proper- es and broadening access. The Alliance, a consor um of
professional Equity theaters throughout the state, fosters collabora on, coopera on and audience development.
Theater Company was asked to decorate the Governor's Study. The display was created to make one think that a woman in a purple suit, could be looking at a shop window from 1914, the year that "It Pays to Adver se" opened on Broadway. Costumes, designed and built by Marion T. Brady from ELTC's 2012 produc on of the play, and props, including an adver sing sign designed by Mark E. Lang, were used for the scene.
Centenary Stage Company, The Growing Stage, Shake-
speare Theatre of New Jersey, and Premiere Stages decorated three other rooms. Other not-for-profi t theater members of the New Jersey Theatre Alliance provided set designs and props from various shows that were displayed in the dining room.
A er months of planning and crea ng "Drumthwacket on Stage," everyone was pleased with the outcome, and East Lynne Theater Company was proud to be represented.
Although the fes ve fl oral touches and theater memora-bilia were removed during the second week in January, the Governor's residence is s ll a lovely place to visit. If anyone would like to see East Lynne Theater Company's "woman in the purple suit," she's currently at Kaleidoscope, a clothing store on the Washington Street Mall in Cape May, in all of her Edwardian splendor.

be held at the Bolero Blue Water Grill, Wildwood on Saturday, January 25, 2014. The Beef and Beer goes from 6 pm to 10 pm and live music will be featured un l 12 midnight.
As in years past, this musi-cal funfest will feature three live bands that will rock the Bolero. This year’s lineup is new and unique. The band FUZZYBONE, made up of members of the wildly pop-ular bands Funny Bone and
The Fuzzy Bunny Slippers from the 90’s and 2000’s South Jersey music scene, will headline the event.
The opening act is the newly-formed band Loud n’ Clear. Also performing is one of the ho est bands in South Jersey, Donkey Punch. In the past 6 years the event has raised over $130,000 to benefi t local children and young adults with cancer.
This year’s benefit will support Kanen “HurriKanen” Kea ng Wear, 6 years old
from Swainton and Genny Lynn Farnan, 27, from West Cape May, a teacher’s aide at the Atlan c City Special Services School District.

Atlantic County Photographer Pays Tribute to SS United States Ship
OCEAN CITY -- Photogra-pher Kevin Husta, Hammon-ton, New Jersey, brings his photographs of the docked SS United States passenger ship to the Ocean City Arts Center throughout Febru-ary. A "Meet the Ar st" re-cep on will be held Friday, February 6, from 7 pm to
8:30 pm. Mr. Husta is one of sev-
eral photographers to be given permission to pho-tograph the docked ship in Philadelphia, Pa. Its fi xtures have been removed and the former elegant ballrooms and staterooms have been stripped.
The SS United States sailed during the 1950s and 1960s. Its fi nal trans-Atlan c trip was November 1969. It was the fastest passenger ship travelling from New York to London in about 10 hours. The SS United States offered the elegance and grandeur of the Titantic
with safety. It featured fi rst and second class accomoda-tions. Amenities included elegant ballrooms for lavish par es, movie screenings, a swimming pool and upscale restaurants.
The SS United States host-ed such famous people as Marilyn Monroe, who used the ship as the backdrop for her fi lm "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", Marlon Brando, and Lucy and Desi Arnaz, who filmed a segment of "The Lucy Show" aboard the ship.
Ocean City Arts Center Executive Director Rosa-lyn Lifshin said, "Mr. Husta captured the current condi- on of the SS United States
in his photographs, while encouraging audiences to imagaine its past beauty and elegance. "The Arts Center will feature stories from local families who travelled aboard the ship. It was surprising to me to fi nd so many passengers who live in the tri-state area and were happy to share their memories."
Husta, 31, is a graduate of Richard Stockton Col-lege. He builds his wooden frames, using materials from abandoned buildings. Husta uses his work to preserve history by photographing structures that are no lon-ger useful and are in decay.
The SS United States Conservancy is an organi-za on that is a emp ng to save the ship to be used as a hotel or conven on center.
For more informa on vis-it www.oceancityartscenter.org, or call (609) 399-7628. The Ocean City Arts Center is located in the Commu-nity Center at 1735 Simpson Avenue. It is open 9 am to 9 pm, Monday through Friday, and 9 am to 3 pm on Saturday.
Please note--samples of photos will be emailed on Thursday, January 16. Inter-views with local residents who sailed the ship can be arranged through Rosalyn Lifshin, 609-399-7628 or [email protected].
This week's winning cocktail is reminiscent of warm, summer days and the sweet, fruity cocktails that so perfectly comple-ment them. It serves as a brief escape from the dismal winter atmosphere and a re-minder that Memorial Day looms just 19 weeks away. The "Sweet Berry Cosmo"
Drink of the Week
Mixology 101. . . .
hails from Rio Sta on and is a light but potent refresher made with fresh mixed berry puree. Stolich-naya Raspberry Vodka, Coin-treau, cranberry juice, and the puree are shaken over ice and then masterfully poured into a mar ni glass to create this "sweet berry"
concoction. The glass is fi nished with a strawberry sugar rim and an orange slice garnish. For those who enjoy this sweet dessert cosmo, Rio bartender Blake also recommends the Black & White Chocolate Mar- ni available on the bar's
Mar ni Menu. The Black & White is made with Sobieski Vanilla and Dark and White Chocolate Godiva Liqueur and is garnished with a swirl of chocolate syrup. This fabulously indulgent choice is a great treat a er a rough work day.
Sample these excep onal cocktails for yourself at the Rio Sta on's Happy Hour daily from 4-7 pm or Fridays from 4-9 pm.
Be sure to inquire about the op ons on their award-winning wine list while there. Need some food with that beverage? For a limited me only, take advantage
of the Rio's Winter Wine & Dine deal, featuring two entrees for just $25 Sunday through Wednesday from 4 to 9 pm.
