Scattered throughout this week’s special 35th anniversary edition you will find a ton of great stuff. We’re celebrating our birthday by doing something a little different this week, including presenting “Time Capsule” interviews with an assortment of people from the region, many of whom have watched this newspaper grow from the Whoot! into the Atlantic City Weekly. Also inside, look out for “1974 Flashback” bubbles, our attempt to bring you back to the year this publication was born. Also, in between the columns and advertisements, we’ve included bits of old issues, ads and covers that we’ve scanned. We hope you enjoy.

VER THE PAST 35 YEARS the Whoot!/Atlantic City Weekly family has had some really good times. Covering the entertainment scene in one of the most active, dynamic and ever-changing entertainment hubs in the world and delivering updated information on a weekly basis has been a lot of work for everyone ever involved with this publication, but it has also been a lot of fun. During the past five years that I’ve been on the Atlantic City Weekly’s editorial team, the last two and a half as editor, I’ve accumulated way more than a hard-drive’s worth of memories. Like the tiny first-floor office that served as the full extent of the editorial space in our former home in an old Victorian house in Pleasantville. Watching Jay Leno hold up a copy of Atlantic City Weekly on the Tonight Show. I remember the numerous times over the past five years that both the editorial and advertising teams have won national and state awards. I remember the thrill of celebrating our 5th annual Top 40 under 40 project with a huge bash at the Borgata last year. I’ll never forget speaking with and meeting people I never imagined I would have the chance to otherwise — from the late Bo Diddley to Robert Plant to Chill Will. It has been an honor to be with this publication for nearly six years and everybody who I work with I consider a friend. It was no easy task for us to put this week’s issue together. More difficult than our annual Memorial Day weekend guide or our always jam-packed July 4 issue. More daunting than re-launching our

new Web site this past summer. More work than producing videos for our site without much background in video production. But as you flip through the pages, I think you’ll find it was worth the effort. I’d like to thank my tremendously talented editorial team — and our esteemed contributors — for the dedication and perspiration it took to put out this week’s issue. Inside issue #45 of our 36th volume, there are no restaurant guides, no movie listings, no calendar listings or “Coasting” items. No headliner interviews or casino capsules. Instead you’ll find a variety of “Flashback” interviews with everybody from Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford to long-time sales rep Madelon Woller; old Whoot! and AC Weekly covers, photos and articles; vintage album reviews and other content intended to celebrate our 35th year. Don’t fret, your favorite columnists are all here inside, graciously devoting their space this week to their thoughts on our collective anniversary. Go to acweekly.com and you’ll find even more — including a photo gallery of 35 years of covers, decades of concert photos and best of all — the entire first edition of Whoot! from June 19, 1974. Come out and celebrate with us on Nov. 11 at The Pool at Harrah’s and you’ll be able to see the short anniversary video we’ve produced, too. It will eventually appear on our Web site, but we’d love to see you at The Pool to watch its premiere. n

PINKY’S CORNER

Congrats From This Corner B By Pinky Kravitz

ELIEVE IT OR NOT THE ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY — formerly the Whoot! — is 35 years old this year. It seems like only yesterday that I was writing a column in Charlie Seel’s Boardwalk Reporter weekly newspaper. Charlie was a knowledgeable man in the Atlantic City region. He had connections with all the politicos, the business folks and the people of the community. He took great pleasure in writing a column that was a must read for the people who wanted to know what was taking place in the back rooms and the front rooms of the varied businesses and politicians. I was very friendly with Charlie and one day he asked me about writing a column in his paper. I had never done such a thing and did not think that I was much of a writer, but I said I would give it a try. I had no specific aim or objective except to try to beat the local daily newspaper with items that were happening within the community. It was my biggest thrill to have a story appear in my column and a few days later see the topic I had written about appear in the daily paper. Of course, the daily paper had a full staff and I had a staff of just one. It was after Charlie passed away that Herb Steiner asked if I would be interested in writing my column in a new entertainment weekly called Whoot!, and since the Boardwalk Reporter was slowly sliding out of existence, I jumped at the opportunity. Herb Steiner turned the reins of publishing Whoot! over to his son Lew, who would steer the paper to a higher circulation with more advertisers. When he took over the reins of the entertainment weekly, Lew was a bright young man with a vision of making his paper one that covered all areas of entertainment and happenings throughout the resort communities of southern New Jersey. Its growth over the years proved the capability and vision that Herb and Lew had for their paper. They realized that their entertainment weekly had to not only have excellent writers, but also be filled with pictures of the entertainers and those who go to see them. Unfortunately, Herb passed away and left Lew with the full responsibility of owning and operating the paper. He not only grew the entertainment weekly, but he became involved with just about every charitable group and organization in the area. He always found room to announce their events and to take pictures at their functions. This drew more and more people to depend on the paper over the years to learn what was going to happen, when it would happen and how it happened in the Atlantic City area. Major entertainers would personally contact Lew to see if they could get their picture on the cover of Whoot! When I joined the paper, I was given no guidance as to what they wanted me to do. Herb and Lew said keep on doing what you were doing at the Boardwalk Reporter. Many years ago, when I had started doing my radio show and was writing my column, I went to the opening of Sam’s Club, which was located where the public safety building is now located on the Black Horse Pike. I wandered around the new facility and walked over to

say hello to the manager of the store. He was in conversation with a “gentleman� who was the publisher of the local daily newspaper. The “gentleman� saw me and turned to the manager and told him that I had a radio show that didn’t have many listeners and that I wrote a column that very few people read. That not-so-pleasant introduction provided me with the inspiration I needed to set me on the path of what I would attempt to do with this column: beat the local daily with major stories in the area. I never made much money writing the column, however, I was proud of being able to tell my readers and listeners about things that were happening in the community days, and sometime weeks, before the daily ever got around to covering them. It’s always been very hard for me to gauge how many people read this column. I have stated many times that I’ve received very few written responses from my readers, however, it has always been gratifying to receive comments from people I would see around the community — and now online at acweekly.com. I was flabbergasted to learn the number of people who now log on to read Atlantic City Weekly on the Internet. When some of the out-of-towners come into Atlantic City, they often take the time to come to the Borgata — where I do my WOND radio show — to say they enjoy the column. I was shocked to learn that the Architects Association in Philadelphia made a point of reading my column weekly to determine what was going on in Atlantic City and to inform their members of the activities taking place here. I pride myself in realizing that over the years there have been very few retractions for information that was provided in this column. Lew Steiner eventually sold Whoot! to the Philadelphiabased Review Publishing and it was renamed Atlantic City Weekly. I am proud to be associated with this publication and the people who write in it, sell the advertising and put the paper together. Although there is a new group that owns the paper, Lew is still the publisher and Jeff Schwachter has taken over as editor and does an excellent job. I am fortunate in having the leeway to write just about any story that I feel you will enjoy or that will keep you informed about what’s happening in our region. I would like to take this opportunity to wish the Atlantic City Weekly a happy 35th birthday. Thank you for presenting my column to your readers each week. n

FOOD & DRINK

Route to Enlightenment The ‘Whoot Route’ encapsulated area nightlife options in a fun and anticipation-generating way By Ray Schweibert

T

HOSE OF US WHO TURNED 18 in 1970s Pennsylvania may recall the occasional jaunt across the Delaware River to proudly gain entry into New Jersey’s nightclubs — three years sooner than we were allowed into clubs in our own home state. Weekend treks to the shore back then were the ultimate, particularly where the A.C. area applied, as so much was going on within a relatively short circumference. This, we discovered, remained true even after we could get into clubs in Pa. (N.J. upped its drinking age to 21 in the early 1980s). As fun as the club-strewn streets of

Before the arrival of the first Atlantic City casino in 1978, at which point every publication within about a two-hour drive began making some mention of what was going on in A.C., the Whoot! was the only one to give the area’s entertainment scene its undivided attention. “The paper described what was going on outside the box of what the [local daily] printed,” says Jeff Pergament, former Atlantic County Office of Cultural Affairs coordinator, and younger brother of noted A.C. historian Allen “Boo” Pergament. “Whoot! covered a base for the ‘simple folk’ who had no clue about the ‘back of the house.’ That was and still is [publisher Lew Steiner’s] forte. He nailed it then and he still nails it.” Plenty of musicians came to rely on the Whoot! to spread the word about where they were performing. “When Lew first starting putting out that paper, you always used to check to make sure you were in there, that your band or the club you were playing at was advertised,” says Zeppy Cole, who has performed in the area since the early 1960s with his brother, Charlie, as the Cole Brothers. “It’s still like that today,

except there are a lot fewer clubs with live music outside the casinos.” At one point, A.C. was the only town in the nation to have a club on all four corners of a single intersection — at Arkansas and Pacific avenues. There was the Lemon Tree, the Bamboo Lounge, the Sea Shell and the Norwood, all of which have disappeared. Another popular bygone downbeach establishment called the Dunes used to have entertainment until the wee hours of the morning. “It used to be called Dunes ’til Dawn, and that literally meant that bands performed from 11 at night until the sun came up,” says Charlie Cole. “There were a lot of clubs like that — Gables and Meral’s in Margate, the Rum Point. We used to see Lew at the Rum Point once in a while collecting for ads from Simzy [owner Edgar Sims, who passed away in 1986]. That guy was so tight-fisted it was like trying to get blood from a stone.” Sims became a multi-millionaire when he sold the Rum Point Pub to Harrah’s in the early 1980s. Many of the other A.C. nightclubs and dance clubs were also absorbed by the casinos or simply disappeared, but at one time there were more than 200 between the inlet and marina districts downbeach to Somers Point. In his July 4, 1979 column, McDonald wrote: “One of our less-than-sane staff members came up with the wild and crazy idea to visit every spot on the

Philly could be, they couldn’t compare to those in the Atlantic City area, where you could dance to bands at night and sun yourself on the beach during the day. One of the navigational tools we nighttime nomads relied on back then was Whoot!, a newspaper that, since its inception in 1974, highlighted entertainment in a section called “Whoot Route.” There were clubs, bars and dance halls of every sort on Absecon Island and parts of the mainland back then, and while many of them took out display ads announcing their bands and drink specials, the “Whoot Route” put it all in one easy-toaccess place. You could hear swing at TK’s Café on Atlantic Avenue, jazz at the Jockey Club on the Boardwalk, funk ‘n’ disco at Tony Mart’s in Somers Point, soft rock at Maloney’s in Margate, or ballads by Emerald Isle immigrant Peter McDonald at the Irish Pub in A.C. You’d also come across some eccentric entertainment like arm-wrestling contests at Little John’s or an X-rated hypnotist at the Rum Point Pub by the Brigantine Bridge. McDonald, incidentally, was the primary compiler of the “Whoot Route” for nearly 25 years (see story p. 51). He’d

“Whoot Route” in one night. And what’s worse, to have a cocktail at every stop ... Guess who got the assignment? The scrawny kid with the curly hair and the hot-water bottle pressed against the side of his head while he types this God-forsaken ‘Whoot Route.’” n

usually start the column with some witty commentary before delving into which band was playing where, such as this March 15, 1979 lead-in to St. Patrick’s Day weekend. “In Ireland [St. Paddy’s Day] is next to Easter and Christmas, the holiest day on the church calendar. The day consists of going to morning high mass, eating a feast in early afternoon, then hitting the pubs at night. In this country, well, the first two steps are given a lower priority. But that’s all right. One out of three ain’t bad.”

A & E: MOVIES

AC on Film Looking back on 35 years of Atlantic City at the movies By Lori Hoffman

A

TLANTIC CITY HAS BEEN THE main setting — or shown up at some point — in numerous movies over the years. Three Little Girls in Blue, starring June Haver and George Montgomery, was partially filmed in Atlantic City and featured the song “On the Boardwalk (in Atlantic City).” The 1944 movie Atlantic City is a musical about how it became a famous resort, and in Citizen Kane, the motion picture that has most often been called the greatest film ever made, there is a flashback set in Atlantic City. With this special issue being devoted to the 35th anniversary of Atlantic City Weekly/Whoot!, I thought it would be fun to look back at some movies with Atlantic City themes that have been filmed here over the past 35 years. I’m going to cheat a bit with my first film since it is such a terrific movie and Atlantic City is a main character. The King of Marvin Gardens predates Whoot! by a couple of years (it came out in 1972 and our first year of publication was 1974). I was going to college at Stockton when the school made its debut in 1971. That first semester, the classes took place on the Atlantic City Boardwalk at the Mayflower Hotel while the campus was being finished. Rumor had it a scene from a movie was being filmed on the Boardwalk a few streets down and I went to check it out. I

to pull off a get-rich quick scheme in a dying city. While I was annoyed director Bob Rafelson showed jitneys going downtown on Atlantic Avenue, it is a brilliant film and features one of Nicholson’s best performances. The perfect film to feature as a double bill with The King of Marvin Gardens is Atlantic City (1980), Louie Malle’s brilliant examination of an Atlantic City that was in the very early stages of its revival. The film features the exquisite pairing of Susan Sarandon as a raw bar waitress hoping to improve her life by becoming a dealer and moving to Monte Carlo, and Burt Lancaster as an aging numbers run-

ner who seizes an opportunity to be a high roller for once when he lucks into a cache of drugs. The film perfectly captures the early transformation of Atlantic City as it was strivsaw Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern and Ellen ing to once again be known as “The Burstyn doing a scene with a rolling chair World’s Playground.” Many gambling themed movies have over and over again. The pre-revival, crumbling Atlantic used Atlantic City as a background. City was the perfect metaphor for this George Clooney was here for a few days story of losers and schemers looking to film a scene in Ocean’s Eleven (2001)

and his co-star Matt Damon was a poker pro who shows up at the Taj in Rounders (1998). Paul Newman and Tom Cruise played in an A.C. pool tournament in The Color of Money (1986). Atlantic City has also been the setting for a particularly awful Brian De Palma movie starring Nicolas Cage, Snake Eyes (1998), in which Cage plays a corrupt A.C. cop who gets caught in the middle of an assassination plot. Gary Sinise (CSI: New York) is also in the cast. Luckily for both of them most people have never seen this stinker. There is one scene where Atlantic City High School students are shown behaving badly. I was so glad they came up with a fake mascot name on their jackets rather than the Vikings. Atlantic City was a more substantial

background in the small, smart and touching indie feature Duane Hopwood (2004), starring David Schwimmer and Janeane Garofalo. He’s a casino employee and a drunk who really needs to get his life back together. The film was made by actor Matt Mulhern, who grew up in Philadelphia and Longport. AC Weekly loves this movie in particular since an issue of our publication is seen on a coffee table in one scene. Of more recent vintage, Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston were in town a few months back to film scenes for the movie The Bounty Hunter. A dealer friend of mine from the Borgata told me Butler was a doll when he was losing his own money learning to play craps — the nicest celebrity she has ever met in a casino setting. The Bounty Hunter is scheduled for release next March. n

ASK THE GEATOR

The Boss with the Whoot! Sauce T By Jerry Blavat

Jersey Public Broadcasting. I felt that with the combination of my being on the radio at the shore and my own relatively new venture at Memories in Margate, there was enough happening for me to do a weekly column. So I began writing the “Geator Gab,” talking about the people, the places, and the excitement that were a part of the shore community. Back then, before faxes, before e-mail, the column was typed manually — sometimes we even did it in longhand — and mailed in from Philadelphia. Now, of course, it all happens in a snap. Don’t know how many people back then believed that the Whoot! would be successful, or that it would turn out to be the most read weekly down at the shore. The ongoing success of the Atlantic City Weekly is what Lew Steiner’s vision was back then, and it holds true today — a local periodical about the sites, the

HERE WAS A SONG BY ECSTASY, Passion & Pain called “Good Things Don’t Last Forever” — but that doesn’t apply to Atlantic City Weekly. So let me segue back to the beginning. The year was 1974. Memories in Margate was two years old when a young man by the name of Lew Steiner approached me about a new magazine he was putting together called Whoot! He asked if I would like to get involved. I said financially, no, but creatively, yes. Remember, this was years before gambling. At that time, who knew that the shore would go 52 weeks a year? Traditionally it went from Memorial Day to Labor Day. But we both agreed that there was enough nightlife in the area to make this an exceptional venture. By the way, Lew had his own history in show business. As a college student he had interned for TV production at New

What does Atlantic City Weekly mean to you? When I think of Atlantic City Weekly I think of the advertisements and the local dining venues and the casino venues and nightclub events. The paper helps you find out what’s going on in Atlantic City — the concerts, who’s coming into town, and what nightclubs are open what nights. And the restaurants — if they’re having any specials and things like that. It’s definitely the main source of that kind of information in our region. Have you ever been in the paper? I was in the paper once, sometime in the last year. It was during one of my jobs as a ring card girl during a boxing event at Bally’s. I believe they just got the back of me so that was kind of funny. One of my friends actually picked me out. She was like, ‘I saw you in the paper I think!’ Because she knows what my backside looks like. Have you ever found something out for the first time in Atlantic City Weekly? I went to Dusk a couple nights before DJ AM died and he was there and you could tell he was kind of in his own world. People were dancing around him. But then I found out in your paper that he had died. I remember reading it in the editor’s column that Thursday. I was very shocked and that’s how I found out — in the paper.

At AlisonPaul Builders, our focus is on making your new home building experience pleasant and positive from the day you OPEN first contact us until well after you move into your beautiful DAILY! new home.

k c a b k o A lo Bill Christman’s Expresso band has been around for more than 30 years in Atlantic City’s entertainment scene, and was one of the first bands to find steady work at A.C.’s new casinos in the ‘70s. What comes to mind when you think of Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? Oh, the Whoot! was great. The Whoot! was your exposure. The Whoot! was, other than your personal manager or booking agent, a vital part of your success. Especially in the South Jersey area, because the Whoot! didn’t just cover a casino or two, they covered the whole gamut. And any work you could get in South Jersey, you wanted to do anything you could to get the Whoot! family to come out and see you and hopefully they’d like you enough that they’d represent you in their newspaper. What do you think of the paper today? The Atlantic City Weekly has continued to be the biggest link to possible success for establishments. But I see the establishments today not using the paper to their best interests. They’re more interested in advertising that they have cold beer than that they have quality entertainment.

k c a b k o o Al Bob Ruffalo is the owner of Princeton Antiques and Books in Atlantic City and an area historian, serving as president of the city’s Historical Society. What comes to mind when you think of Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? I think it’s remarkable that it’s been able to maintain itself for so long and remain such a valuable asset to the community. It’s a quick and ready reference for locals and visitors that gives you all the entertainment information in one place. You pick it up and you can find any kind of entertainment information you want. That makes it very valuable. It’s better than the phone book. What fond memories do you have of the Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? I remember how much the paper and Lew Steiner supported the March of Dimes Telethon when it was here in Atlantic City. There were always aspects of that support in the Whoot! and Lew was very dedicated and a strong leader in promoting the telethon. He was doing as much as someone like Jerry Lewis. He always volunteered to help in any way. As a historian, what do you think of the paper’s coverage of Atlantic City? It’s a very viable resource of our past and an asset to our recorded history. Those old issues show just how many entertainment selections there were in the city and the area before casino gaming. The casinos are actually like Wal-Marts of entertainment and so many of those clubs and venues are gone now. But the Whoot! is a great record of just how much there was in the area back before it all changed.

k c a b k o A lo Blues man Bubba Mac is a southern New Jersey fixture, having owned his own nightclub in Somers Point and playing venues throughout the area. What comes to mind when you think of Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? Well, initially I think of the Whoot!, because I was so used to that being the title for years and when you changed the name it took me awhile to get used to Atlantic City Weekly. It’s about what’s going on with entertainment in Atlantic City and New Jersey. I love it. I’m a musician so I like reading it to see what everybody is doing in town. But I also like to know who’s here and where they’re playing. And the articles are interesting, not just the lineups. It always provides some nice information on the background of the different bands and acts, which is a lot of people in Atlantic City. So it’s a welcome addition to my reading every week.

Have you ever been in the paper? I’ve been in there a few times. I was even fortunate enough to be on the cover one time for a bluesfest that we ran. And we ran ads in Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly for six or seven years for the Bubba Mac Shack (in Somers Point). But they always provided a lot of coverage for the people who played at the shack as well as my own band. What do you think of the new Atlantic City Weekly Web site? I like the new Web site. I’ve really gotten into it and I like having the paper online because I spend so much time on the computer. It just pops up in front of me and I’m glad to see it.

TIME CAPSULE

Carmen Marotta’s family owned the legendary Tony Mart’s nightclub in Somers Point. His dad was the original Tony Mart. What do you think of when you think about Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? It was very important because it was the first entertainment-only weekly that came out on a consistent basis. And that meant that every week [Tony Mart’s] could have input, publicity, as well as changing the ads, etc. and that changed the dynamic of the [local] club industry, of the nightclubs and restaurants. Back in my father’s day it was always about Ted Shaw and the Atlantic City Press, but when the Whoot! came out it was much more about [that publication] for us and what they were doing. What makes this paper unique? You all go into more depth sometimes and focus, especially now you’re focused more on the substance of the live musical performances at times and that’s very important. It’s a great paper to pick up and just see what’s going on.

Remember Anchor Savings?

Ever find out something for first time in the paper? I do now, especially in the editor’s columns; I find information that’s very focused and interesting information about the music and the performers. That’s a very substantive feature about the Whoot! — or I should say AC Weekly.

THE ‘F’ WORD

Keeping Up I By Whitney Ullman

WAS BORN IN ATLANTIC CITY AND have lived in Galloway Township for the majority of my life. When I was younger, I would always complain about the lack of things to do for someone under 21 in our area, but in retrospect we were actually pretty lucky. We had the opportunity to take a trip to Atlantic City for a visit to the Ocean One Mall, or the bowling alley at Showboat or maybe even Trop World at the Tropicana! I loved it; they had bumper cars, a roller coaster and, of course, the Ferris wheel. Over the years, all of these fun places slowly became just memories. Although these great amenities would eventually be replaced, they’ll never be forgotten. Ever since the time I was able to go out and enjoy the fun spots in and around Atlantic City, I have always known that the Atlantic City Weekly / Whoot! was the source of all dining, entertainment and

happenings in the area. It has been neat to watch the changing Atlantic City region over the past three decades. Likewise, AC Weekly has gone through many changes over that time. The paper started out as a small publication created in Lew Steiner’s garage; it didn’t even come out weekly at first. Now, as our town has changed with the times, so has the paper. The Whoot! became Atlantic City Weekly not too long ago and now not only is a weekly newspaper, but has morphed into an always-updated, user-friendly Web site; a video production operation; an up-to-date blog and even has spots on television during the NBC 40 news. My, how things have changed — and for the better. Similarly, Atlantic City, over the past decade, has updated itself, bringing in establishments and venues that are more suitable for today’s market and which aim

to bring in a more diverse tourist crowd. As a youngster, I would have never thought in my wildest dreams that one day the Ocean One Mall would become such an impressive place as The Pier Shops at Caesars. I would have never thought that Trop World would be gone and then, a few years later, the retail shops, restaurants and clubs at The Quarter would be born. I would have never thought that they would close the bowling alley at Showboat, but then years later introduce a House of Blues to the Atlantic City skyline. Atlantic City has always been a city full of memories for anyone who has visited, lived and/or worked here. I am sure that with the planned future developments, the chic and fashion-forward boutiques, the hottest new restaurants and the hippest events and entertainment, we can look forward to many more memorable moments in Atlantic City and its neighboring communities. And we can certainly look forward to finding out about all of this great stuff over the next 35 years and beyond right here in Atlantic City Weekly and acweekly.com.

That is why Atlantic City Weekly is so highly regarded in our area. Even when the good old Whoot! became Atlantic City Weekly, it was obvious that the change was for the good and was in step with the changes happening throughout the A.C. market. I grew up with the Whoot! and now all these years later I am writing for the paper. This is a dream come true for me and I am very honored to be a part of this special team of people, as well as the rich history and bright future of Atlantic City. n

CURTAIN CALL

Sleeping with the Enemy? By David J. Spatz

U

SED TO BE YOU COULD TELL the Atlantic City-area natives from the transplants by the way they pronounced the midtown street “Arkansas” Avenue. But there’s another way to tell natives from newbies. Anyone who refers to this publication as Whoot! — and then quickly corrects themselves — doesn’t need to show their ID. They’ve been around long enough to know that was the original name of this paper when it perched itself on the Atlantic City nightlife scene 35 years ago. Still, I never gave much thought to the fact that the paper has been around longer (by four years) than the casinos. It had become so much a part of the local landscape that I, like many others, simply took for granted that this fun and slightly quirky tabloid would be delivered to my local convenience store/pizza shop/corner bar/dry cleaners/supermarket/gas station every Thursday. So the recent e-mail from Atlantic City Weekly editor Jeff Schwachter caught me by surprise, because it was an assignment. Jeff never assigns me specific columns; I’m pretty much free to decide who or what I want to write about. But the e-mail he sent to each of the paper’s columnists spoke of a special themed edition that would celebrate 35 years of all things Whoot!/Atlantic City Weekly. Jeff wanted a column that contained our personal reminiscences of the paper.

I read the e-mail on my Blackberry sitting in the parking lot of a Cherry Hill strip mall, one that my car’s on-board GPS navigation system had directed me to. My first thought was that 35 years ago, I’d have needed a paper map to find the mall; I’d either be listening to an 8-track tape or some FM radio DJ’s heavy-rotation play list; if Jeff wanted to reach me quickly — provided he had even been born — he could have called me at home and left a message with whomever answered (because answering machines were still frightfully expensive). While 35 years is a remarkable accomplishment, Atlantic City Weekly doesn’t have an exclusive on milestone celebrations. The paper and I are actually sharing an anniversary, because right around the time Whoot! was first flapping its fledgling wings, I was beginning my journalism career as a “correspondent” in the Cape May County bureau of The Press of Atlantic City. I was a general assignment and beat reporter who dabbled in the occasional entertainment story. Not long after the first casino opened in 1978, The Press began publishing a weekend entertainment page — just one page — each Friday. Several years later, the page was expanded into a full and separate section. Still, Whoot! had a monopoly on a free weekend entertainment guide that was dropped in hundreds of locations

around the area every Thursday. But that changed in the early 1990s when the local daily decided to go head-to-head with Whoot! with its own tabloid-style entertainment and leisure-time publication that was bulk-dropped right next to the stacks of Whoot! Suddenly, Whoot! became the enemy. And I was under orders to stay one step ahead of the competition when it came to casino entertainment. It was a formidable assignment, because I was a one-man band; Whoot! had a whole bunch of writers, led by paper co-founders Marcia and Herb Steiner. While I was trying to decide which two shows I could cover, Whoot! sent its platoon of writers out to cover every show in town. Personally, I never had a problem with Herb, Marcia or their son, Lew, who co-founded the paper with his parents, became its publisher and remains in that position today even though he sold the paper to Review Publishing about nine years ago. But I suspect they may have had a problem with me because of my involvement in developing the publication that ultimately broke their monopoly. And I certainly understand why. If I viewed their paper as competition, it would stand to reason that they’d look at “my” paper through similar eyes. So it was a big surprise, about five years ago, when former Atlantic City Weekly editor Mike Epifanio wanted to add me to the paper’s list of contributors. I began writing occasional casino entertainment features for the paper, and I’ll never forget how weird it seemed to me when my first story — a feature on come-

dian Carrot Top — appeared in the paper under my byline. Herb and Marcia were probably whirling dervishly. A couple years later, Atlantic City Weekly thought a weekly companion column to my television show Curtain Call would be a natural fit, although the column now appears on a bi-weekly basis. To this day, I still wonder if two of my old Press editors — both of whom are crunching deadlines in heaven — are angry with me because I’m now sleeping with the enemy instead of competing against it. From 8-track tapes to 60-gig iPods. From being a single young man with my life (and my hair) spreading out in front of me to being a grandfather who will never, ever be comfortable with the descriptive term “longtime veteran journalist” (so please, Jeff, make sure it isn’t used in my obit). Happy anniversary Whoot!/Atlantic City Weekly. I don’t know where the years went, because it sure doesn’t feel like it’s been three-and-a-half decades since you and I were hatchlings in this business. But I do know one thing. We both look pretty damned good for our age. n

k c a b k o A lo Bob Kephart has owned and operated the Comedy Stop at the Tropicana since 1983, and later opened two others in Las Vegas and Laughlin, Nev. What do you think of when you think about Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? My association with the paper goes back to its days as the Whoot! in 1978, when I was the general manager of TK’s [CafÊ, formerly on Atlantic and Boston avenues]. Lew [Steiner] would come in from time to time to see if we were interested in buying an ad and, to be honest with you, I didn’t know what to make of him at first. But as I got to know him I realized we had a lot in common — we were both young, ambitious, intelligent guys determined to make it in the business world. One thing about Lew is that he never tried to ram anything down your throat. If you were interested you were interested. If you weren’t, he moved on. Does anything in particular stand out for you in terms of fond memories of the paper? We’ve worked together on so many different projects together over the years, most recently the 25th anniversary of the [Atlantic City] Comedy Stop. The paper’s certainly played a big part in helping me grow my business. I started the [A.C.] Comedy Stop in 1983, expanded to Las Vegas and eventually Laughlin [Nev.], and moved from the dungeon [a 175-seat theater near the Tropicana’s entrance] to The Quarter. Similarly, AC Weekly started in a little office building on Atlantic Avenue near the old Atlantic City High School, expanded to a larger building in Pleasantville and is now in a much nicer one. We’ve both had a hand in helping the other grow.

Madelon Woller is a long time advertising account executive with the paper, dating back to 1981. She is best known to most of her customers as Madelon “Whoot.� What comes to mind when you think of Atlantic City Weekly and Whoot? When I hear the names Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly my thoughts are of a publication that has endured over the years due to integrity, comprehensive coverage of the area and fun, fun, fun. How great to work for a publication that brings nothing but good news to its readers. I have worked with some wonderful, talented people and am thankful for the great relationships this has brought me. What is your fondest memory? I especially enjoyed the early days of covering some of the best entertainment in the country, and being able to use my writing talents to entertain those who were not able to attend the performances. I covered Rod Stewart, Donna Summer, Robert Palmer, Diana Ross and more; how lucky I was to be a part of their visits to this area. I remember my first interview was with the original Lettermen and how nervous I was. I have found that most of the talented people are really easy to talk with and were anxious to answer any questions I may have had. A special “thank you� goes to the late Herb Steiner who was covering Frank Sinatra and was kind enough to take me along. The old Whoot! family, Lew, Chris, Herb and Marcia Steiner, Doug Wipf and Lori Hoffman will be in my heart forever and are truly family to me. I have only wonderful thoughts of Review Publishing’s Anthony Clifton who has helped Whoot! grow into the Atlantic City Weekly it is today. All the best for the next 35 years!

TIME CAPSULE

Malcolm Tent is a local legend and a punk accordion player (who opened up for the Ramones in a pizza shop in Pittsburgh back in the ’70s). He can be heard on local radio and playing gigs around the area.

Flashback

June 26 – The Universal Product Code is scanned for the first time, to sell a package of Wrigley’s chewing gum at the Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio.

What was the first time you were featured in the Whoot? The first time was in 1977, and the writer was Chip Lamey and he’s still around, He lives in Stone Harbor. He’s probably the eminent musicologist of our area … He wrote in consecutive weeks little blurbs about me. My name was Tumbleweed back then, I wasn’t even Malcolm Tent yet. It was just before I moved to New York and it was basically the first publicity I ever got on the East Coast. Then, in the ’80s, I made good friends with Doug Deutch, who was sort of like the music editor for the Whoot! … and now I’m good friends with Jeff Schwacther, the current editor. In fact we play in a band together. The paper’s always supported me. Chip and Doug were great guys and very knowledgeable and now Jeff is here and he’s knowledgeable. Of course there’s been some gaps in between people, but all in all over the last 35 years I’d say the paper has been more with it than not. What comes to mind when you think of the Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? It’s our free weekly. It’s like the Village Voice of Atlantic City. Do any articles stand out in your mind? The recent ZZ Top issue and the covershot. That was a Rolling Stone quality cover, like a national publication. That was as good a cover as I’ve ever seen in this paper.

Early ‘Whoot!’ Recruit O By Carole Mattessich

NE OF THE WHOOT!’S EARLIEST employees, singer-guitarist Peter McDonald, was recruited into journalism by publisher Lew Steiner. For some 25 years, he wrote and devoted his energies to the entertainment guide known as “The Whoot Route.” He also performed his beloved Irish music at venues like The Irish Pub and the Ri-Ra at Tropicana (his current gig is at North Wildwood’s Anglesea Pub).

together a schedule. We’d write about events like somebody opening a pub — it was real grassroots, and it just kind of worked. Lew and his dad, Herb, both liked designing those types of projects.

roof — the photos for that issue — rushing to Salem, or we’d all be heading for different places to drop off 30, 40 newly-printed newspapers. But Lew and Herb — who were very similar personalities — put in whatever they had to, to make it go right. In time, it became a very big thing, to get your name in Whoot!. By the way, to the public it was The Whoot!, but we just called it Whoot!.

Where did all this take place? Initially Herb had a real estate company, I think at 3809 Atlantic Ave., where everybody came in to put the paper together. There were only about four or five of us, and we’d all take a hand in just You’re in a unique position to recall The about everything. We’d write, do compoWhoot!’s roots. sition, help with circulation. It was a lot I think the name Whoot! was Lew Steiner’s of work, and I don’t know that we made a idea. It was supposed to convey “what’s lot of money, but we all had one goal: We hot,” to sound like that. That would had to get the paper out. When we had have been around 1974, though I didn’t everything together, we’d load it onto a start until about 1977. I’d met Lew at a van and take it to be printed in a place What impact did casinos have? fundraiser for a popular folksinger named near Salem [N.J.].

Six-hour waiting lines on the cer treatments). Anyway, Lew said some- inexhaustible storage of energy. He was Boardwalk just to lose your money! The thing, not straightway, but after meeting a the one who really made it grow. Then industry grew, and we grew too. Because of couple times. I was performing at the Irish again, the presence of Marcia Steiner, the local connections, we were able to open Pub at the time, and he asked, do you like Lew’s mother, was no small factor. Things doors that others couldn’t, and that really writing, and whether I’d do some stuff for could get very hot in a newspaper office, helped. Once the casinos went 24 hours, the Whoot!. I ended up staying for a long, especially at deadline, and she was very everything exploded — disco ruled, and somehow it blended perfectly with the casilong time — some 25 years. I enjoyed it; it much a calming presence. no crowd. And the “Whoot Route” became got me out of the house! a kind of bible of where to go in town. You make it sound easy. And then there was that other “Whoot Route.” Oh no, some days we just didn’t know That was kind of an easy way to get start- how we were able to get the paper out You were also performing music during these years. ed, because we’d basically just take ad — it defied logic.

George Carlin, Johnny Cash, Joey Heatherton, but more importantly provided a place to wind down after an eight-hour shift. And it was very advantageous for me, as I put the “Whoot Route” together, to put in an extra plug for myself [laughing]. I guess the cat’s out of the bag now. Any other favorite moments? There are so many. One was meeting Frank Sinatra. We’d gotten backstage at Resorts International. You knew it was him — those blue eyes were pretty amazing. And Clint Holmes was always a really good guy. And then, performing at Ri-Ra was always fun. One night, four lovely women came up to the stage, and one of them — a very pretty blonde-haired girl who put her arms around my neck — said, “Do you know ‘Sweet Home Alabama’?” She had a cockney accent, from the east end of London. It turned out they were the Spice Girls. There was a lot of stuff like that out of the blue, entertainers who happened to be in the area. The astronaut Jim Lovell stopped in the week after the Spice Girls. All in all, it’s been a very cool journey. n Send Carole Mattessich your suggestions for interesting subjects for our “People” column. E-mail cmattessich@acweekly.com.

Mary Moyer is the public relations manager for Trump Entertainment Resorts and a former Whoot! employee. What do you think of when you think of Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? When I think of Atlantic City Weekly I think of what’s going on in Atlantic City, whether it’s what concerts to go to, or what clubs and lounges to go to, or dining, shopping, community events, and just so much more. Have you ever been in the paper? My picture has been in Whoot! as well as AC Weekly several times, especially since I work for the Trump properties and Lew Steiner covers many of our events where my picture is taken. What is your fondest memory of the paper? My fondest memory is working at the Whoot! offices on Atlantic Avenue just behind the old Atlantic City High School. That’s when Marcia Steiner and Herb were with us and they were a huge part of the paper every day. Everything was manually produced at that time so we spent a lot of long hours putting the paper together — especially on holiday editions. And one particular holiday edition, it was probably the Memorial Day weekend or July 4 [issue], we were working very hard and running into some issues and I remember we did not finish producing the paper until about five o’clock in the morning. And I was just so relieved, along with my co-workers, that I went outside and [screamed], ‘Yahoo!’ Little did I know that I had woken up Chris Steiner and her infant son. Oops.

k c a b k o A lo Lorenzo Langford is the Mayor of Atlantic City and a longtime community leader. What do you think of when you think of AC Weekly? I think of having a vehicle to be kept well informed with respect to certainly all of the entertainment and events that are coming to the area. It is absolutely a handy tool for visitors and locals. I certainly appreciate it. I think sometimes those of us locally — because so much entertainment comes through Atlantic City — there are times when things can slip through the cracks and the next thing you know there is an event that is taking place or has taken place and you’ve missed it. So one of my sources if you will is the Atlantic City Weekly. As was the case with the Whoot! — staying abreast on what’s coming to town in terms of entertainment or what has happened recently that you guys might cover. That’s my way of staying informed and plugged in the entertainment realm. Have you ever been featured in the paper? When I first got on council, if I remember correctly, the Whoot! did a little piece about this new councilman in Atlantic City. Let me put it this way, I have not enjoyed a respectful or healthy relationship with [the daily newspaper]. They always seem to want to portray me in the most negative light that they can. So anytime that I am given exposure in any other print media where they are objective, I appreciate that. Certainly I’m a bigger fan of [Atlantic City Weekly] than the [local daily newspaper].

k c a b k o A lo Mike and Diane are popular DJs on 95.1 WAYV Atlantic City, and host the station’s morning show. What comes to mind when you think of the Whoot! or Atlantic City Weekly? Diane: I have been a faithful reader of the Whoot!/AC Weekly since the first week Mike and I started at WAYV 10 years ago. [2009 marks the 10-year anniversary of the Mike and Diane show on 95.1 WAYV]. Every Thursday I look forward to getting the paper so I can plan my weekend. Mike: Long, romantic walks along the beach at sunset. No, actually a free paper with lots of fun stuff to do in it. Have you ever been in the paper? Diane: Mike & I have been in the paper several times and we always get the most reaction from those mentions [such as the Top 40 Under 40]. Mike: Yes, but the charges were later dropped. What do you think of the new acweekly.com Web site? Diane: I love the new acweekly.com Web site; it’s very informative and user-friendly. I still like getting my paper every week, but also check out the Web site when I need to know what’s happening. Happy 35th - you look fabulous AC Weekly! Mike: The Web site is great, but harder to access from the paper dispensing bins on the street corners.

TIME CAPSULE

Robert Williams, of T Marquise Entertainment, based in Absecon, has been reading the paper since it was Whoot! and says it’s his source for finding out about entertainment in the South Jersey area. “I read it every Thursday,” he says. “And now you can get it online so I may read it at midnight online.” What are some of your favorite parts of the paper? The first column I turn to is Raymond Tyler’s “The City Beat.” I love it. I’ve had the fortunate opportunity to be interviewed for that column in May of 2006. He’s also covered some of my artists such as Barbara Sheree in his column. I think all in all it’s an excellent newspaper because it gives you everything that’s going on in the city. I use it as a reference [tool] because since I’m in entertainment I need to know what’s going on in the city. Do you have any special memories related to the paper? Well, the article that spotlighted me I was very happy with because it’s a great opportunity to [gain exposure]. I don’t think that happens too often to just average people so that was a big deal to me. I went and framed it. Did you ever find out something for the first time in the paper? Anything entertainment wise, AC Weekly’s the only resource that has it first. There is not another outlet that provides [that much] information for our area.

k c a b k o A lo Sandy Warren, of Atlantic City, is a long-time reader of the paper and has also contributed stories to AC Weekly. She was also the subject of an award-winning story about her life with the late jazz drummer Art Blakey. What comes to mind when you think of the paper? Starting with the old Whoot!, my favorite thing was reading about the restaurants. I loved Marcia’s column and I still love reading about the restaurants. But of course my favorite part of the new Whoot!, or Atlantic City Weekly I should say, is generally the cover story. I love reading about the musicians. Sometimes I even save those covers and stories to read again. Recently I did that with the ZZ Top one. I just fell in love with that cover and it makes me smile just to think about it. What memories does the Whoot! bring back? Looking through old issues is just really neat. Take the one ad I saw for the Captain’s Galley in Margate — that was one of Art [Blakey]’s favorite places. It was a BYOB that had fresh seafood just wonderfully prepared. And I can remember what it looked like and everything. But I had forgotten the name of it. So that just brought back lots of smiles and good memories Have you ever been in the paper? I was honored to give an interview that told about my life with drummer Art Blakey living in Northfield all those years. That was just a real highlight to be able to do that.

k c a b k o A lo John Sennett of Atlantic City, is a long-time reader of the paper and local film and theater producer. Russelle Patterson appeared with Sennett in the Aug. 10, 2000 edition of Whoot! for a show they were in, The Blue Hour. Have you ever been in the paper? Sennett: Yes, we were both in the paper. I wrote a show called The Blue Hour about the prohibition days and the Nucky Johnson era in Atlantic City and we put it on in Gardner’s Basin and various other venues around the city. Patterson: it was a fun show to do and fortunately, we were lucky enough to hit Whoot!. Sennett: It’s kind of funny that we wrote that 10 years ago because it’s kind of tied in to what’s going on with Martin Scorsese and Boardwalk Empire show for HBO, which is based on the same premise. For us it was exciting because if you get into Whoot!, you know you’re going to get exposure. Everybody reads it. For us it was like getting in Variety. What do you think of when you think of Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? Patterson: It’s always the paper to get because you can find exactly what’s going on in Atlantic City, and what has gone on in Atlantic City and as far as I’m concerned it’s the number one paper for anything you want to find out — entertainment, where to go to eat, where to go to dance, where to go and meet people. It’s the best paper. It’s Atlantic City’s paper. And it’s a power-packed issue every week. Sennett: I pick it up religiously and I enjoy the editor’s article. It’s what I read first, and then I read Pinky’s article, because it keeps me in touch with what’s going on.

k c a b k o A lo Mark Soifer has been the public relations director for Ocean City for 38 years and is the mastermind behind such O.C. traditions as the Doo-Dah Parade and Martin Z. Mollusk. His zany promotions have become beloved traditions in the area. What comes to mind when you think of Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? I think of the old days and I have fond memories when the offices were on the Black Horse Pike and before computers and e-mail delivering photos to your office there. And all the help you’ve given us over the years with the entertainment we do in Ocean City. Have you even been in the paper? I’ve been in as trash buster; Ocean City’s environmental crusader and can crusader — “Stand By Your Can” is our song — and once I was shown taking a nap. We have a group called the National Association of Tired Persons, where people nap. So they showed me taking a nap. What are your fondest memories? I think it was in the old times in the visits and going to your offices and talking to Herb and Lew [Steiner]. They were always very helpful to us. That was a nice time. I enjoyed that.

k c a b k o A lo Ted Prior is one of the area’s bestknown Elvis Impersonators and a regular in Ocean City and local venues. What do you think of when you think of the Whoot! or Atlantic City Weekly? I think of entertainment. I think of Herb Steiner who started the business and his son Lew. When they first started it was like a cheap little office and he called me up one day and said we’re coming over to the Split Rail Tavern to interview you guys. And while he was doing it he said, “You know you’re my second interview.” And I said. “Holy cow. Honest to God?” So that was quite an honor for me. Tell us about being in the paper. My most memorable time was at the Hard Rock Cafe’. They called me and asked me to come over and be interviewed on Elvis’ birthday and take pictures and we’ll give you a free lunch. So I said, “Thank you very much.” So I went over and I took my guitar and I wound up singing songs for like 20 minutes. That was a lot of fun.

As executive director of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority, Jeff Vasser is one of the most important promoters of the Atlantic City region in the state. What comes to mind when you think of the Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? When I’m looking for good information on what is going on in Atlantic City on any particular weekend, I go to Atlantic City Weekly. For a long time, it’s been a great resource for me, my family and certainly our visitors. I know it’s the Atlantic City Weekly that they reach for. What are your memories of the paper? I do remember when it was the Whoot! I turned 18 in 1978 when it was the Whoot! and when my friends and I especially wanted to find all the great places where all of the beautiful women from out of the area were going to be, we would go to the Whoot!, us local boys, and the Whoot! never let us down. So I have great, fond memories of the Whoot!, and back then the Whoot! was probably the most picked-up newspaper on the stands in the community. So I do have fond memories and sorry I couldn’t have been in the paper back then, because I’m sure that would be great to look back on.

A vintage Oyster Creek Inn ad from Whoot!

What do you think of the paper today? As Atlantic City Weekly it is more mature, more sophisticated and still a great paper for me as I’ve grown up. So I like to think of the Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly growing up with me. So happy anniversary Atlantic City Weekly.

EAFING THROUGH THREE-ANDa-half-decade old, crinkled pages of Whoot!’s (Atlantic City Weekly’s predecessor) first editions, one can’t help but be struck by the economic progress realized over that time in our region. Equally noticeable is the way this little-publication-that-could, founded by then-Stockton College student Lew Steiner, so accurately chronicled 35 years of history and memories. Nowhere is this confluence more obvious than in the restaurant industry. Atlantic City’s status as a top destination resort always meant a thriving food and drink trade. But the exponential growth of this business sector — particularly over the last decade or so — is nothing short of remarkable. The area currently possesses a diverse, distinguished cadre of culinary pros (for clarification, we would refer those of you still harboring any doubt to review the upcoming Savor Borgata event, featured in this space last week). This column is dedicated to those businesses who have managed to stand the test of time, and remain since Whoot!’s earliest days, in June of 1974. Start with a uniquely Atlantic City joint, Tony’s Baltimore Grill at Iowa and Atlantic avenues. The stark white corner property has been turning out exceptional, consistent Italian-American fare for over 50 years. Inside it’s nothing short of unintentionally retro-chic, with old-school jukeboxes at each booth in the pleasantly dim lounge area. Did we mention that Tony’s pizza is, in the opinion of a discriminating NeapolitanSicilian descendent, the equal of anyone’s, anywhere? Atlantic City’s most distinguished restaurant from the mid-1970s era has been rehabbed and reborn, thanks to the loving, professional care of our town’s top restaurant dynasty. The Dougherty clan has been the sole proprietors of Dock’s Oyster House (2405 Atlantic Ave.) for more than 100 years, making it one of America’s most tenured family operations. Since near the turn of this century, they’ve also owned and managed the sparkling, state-of-the-art Knife and Fork Inn (Atlantic and Pacific avenues.) When queried by those from out of town where to dine while visiting, we almost

The Chatterbox in O.C. always mention one, or both, of this classic pairing. Together they represent the cuisine, culture and identity of the New Jersey shore utterly and flawlessly. From the casual side of the scene, three of the very best sub and sandwich shops imaginable continue to dot the watery landscape of Absecon Island. They are, in order of appearance: The White House (Mississippi and Arctic avenues in A.C.), Sack O’ Subs (5217 Ventnor Ave., Ventnor) and Dino’s (8016 Ventnor Ave., Margate). Each works with a similar formula — fresh, heavenly local bread and the best possible ingredients — but all are worth visiting for their tiny, delightful differences. If you live here, you already know. New to town and want real A.C. flavor? Try one for lunch today. Another favorite of local residents is JoJo’s Restaurant (Black Horse Pike and South Main Street, Pleasantville.) From the ’70s, a once-humble pizza enterprise along the busy roadway has blossomed into an enticing, upscale Italian restaurant. Moving out to the mainland, Egg Harbor Township’s Library III (6505 Black Horse Pike) retains its status as the

An A.C. institution

area’s elder statesman steakhouse, still a true value despite a recent influx of new, more expensive competitors. On the northern fringes of Atlantic County sits the area’s single oldest eatery, the Smithville Inn (Route 9, Smithville). Although not continuously operating as one entity, the location — once a stagecoach stop — has been a house of public drink and victuals since Colonial days. Like A.C’s Knife and Fork, the entire Towne of Historic Smithville has also been reincarnated of late by another dynamic local family, the Coppolas. At the time the Whoot! debuted, Somers Point was the unquestioned top spot for upscale dining and a party-tilldawn nightlife/club scene. Remaining standing from that time are Gregory’s (900 Shore Rd.), offering top-notch tavern-style fare and a cozy sports bar atmosphere, Charlie’s (800 Shore Rd.), made

famous by their wings and tenders, the Crab Trap (on the MacArthur Boulevard circle), a hugely popular seafood emporium, and The Anchorage (823 Bay Ave.), one of the oldest continuously operating businesses in Somers Point and notorious for good food at reasonable rates. Across the massive construction zone that will soon become a new arching bridge into Ocean City, one finds venerable Bob’s, long a Boardwalk institution for breakfast or lunch, and the flamingohued Chatterbox (9th and Central) whose motto “Where the town meets” is no exaggeration. Also on the boards is another of our favorite pizzerias, Prep’s (1004 Boardwalk). We can’t help but wonder how many of those reading this column are old enough to remember Prep’s original store, listed in Whoot!’s 1974 Dining Guide, at the south-end nexus of 34th and Asbury. n E-mail Frank Gabriel at fgabriel@acweekly.com

k c a b k o A lo Brian Cahill is the executive director of advertising and media relations for Resorts Casino Hotel. What comes to mind when you think of AC Weekly? I’ve been in town going on 12 years now, and one of the reasons Atlantic City Weekly is such a relevant publication is that it continues to evolve with the times. And certainly as Atlantic City has evolved, so has the paper, including in the past few years with its very progressive online component. Atlantic City Weekly has certainly been a leader in taking advantage of the technology.

AC Weekly has always covered the movies.

Does anything in particular stand out as far as fond memories of the paper goes? It wasn’t that long ago, maybe six or seven years ago, that I was sitting in a marketing meeting and people were joking around that my favorite day of the week was Thursday because I would always get excited when coverage would come out about the company and our events in Atlantic City Weekly. But nowadays you might say my favorite day of the week has shifted to Wednesday because that’s when your publication’s electronic newsletter, comes out. So it gives myself, as a public relations professional, a chance to not only view the news and coverage of the events that we’re promoting, but also the chance to alert my executive staff and other members of the Resorts team to news that is coming out the following day.

k c a b k o A lo Dave Coskey is vice president of marketing for The Borgata and former executive with the 76ers. What comes to mind when you think of the Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? When I think of Atlantic City Weekly, or going all the way back to Whoot!, I think that it was a groundbreaking publication when it came out in the Atlantic City market. You could argue that during the early 1970s, before casino gaming, it was certainly challenging times in the Atlantic City market. And despite that they kind of came up with this concept where they were going to do a publication that was based primarily on entertainment, nightlife and food and beverage. There were other publications of that type at the Jersey shore. But most of those kinds of publications, like Shout and papers like that were connected to publishing groups that had a large staff and a lot more resources I would imagine than the Whoot! had at the time. And I just think that in the mid-’70s, Whoot! was way ahead of its time. There was a vision there that the Steiners had and they took the chance. What do you think Atlantic City Weekly means to promoting the area? I’ve always thought that entertainment tabs play a bigger role in a resort area like the shore here than they do in a major market like Philadelphia because I think that in addition to the residents in this area you also have a lot of transient visitors who come down and even in today’s world where we’re so reliant on technology, Web sites are great, but if you go away on vacation, even with mobile capabilities, you can’t always just pop into what you [want to read].

k c a b k o A lo Singer Jim Craine and his Atlantic City All Star Band are among the most popular performers in the Atlantic City area. Regularly heard on WOND 1400 AM, Craine is affectionately known as “The Singing Lifeguard.”

Have you ever been in the paper? For the first few years I was mostly in the paper in the summer, because I worked in Miami Beach in the winter at the hotels down there and the cruise ships and everything. So we would go back and forth, but I’ve been in the paper quite a few times. I remember when Jeff Schwachter did a story about my big band. I put the Steel Pier Remembered Big Band together trying to hold together big band music with an actual 17piece band. And there was also a feature on us when The Walk opened up and there was nice picture of the band, so that’s always nice. But it’s always a thrill when I see you guys helping out the local entertainment scene and let everybody know when we’re doing an outdoor concert or any of the local bands, or helping out a restaurant to get some people out there.

What comes to mind when you think of the Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? It’s the paper that gives you all the information about entertainment, where I’m appearing, where all my cohorts in the area are appearing. It gives you all the casino information, the restaurants around here. I read it every week.

Longtime Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly associate editor Lori Hoffman has been with the paper for 30 years. She first joined the paper in 1975, taking a brief hiatus from ’79 to ’83. Once known as “The Moviejunkie,� she has been entertaining southern New Jersey readers with her showbiz coverage and as the paper’s in-house movie critic for three decades. What comes to mind when you think of the paper? What many people have said about it over the years. It’s the Bible when it comes to entertainment in Atlantic City and the region. We’ve worked hard to get as much information as possible into the paper and to make it a useful guide for the casino and nightlife action. That’s always been our forte and I think we’ve done a pretty darn good job of it.

What is your fondest memory? Well, there are so many things. But I think for me it’s not so much specific things, but just the fact that from the very beginning when we started the paper — and I was here from the second year; I was annoyed that Lew Steiner didn’t think about doing movie reviews the first year, but I forgave him later — it was that we always worked together. It wasn’t that you had a certain job and this person had a certain job. We all worked together. If something needed to be done, even if it was just to take the trash out, we all did it. We all did different Jobs. We multi-tasked. And we all stayed until we got the paper out. There was camaraderie and the idea that we were all working together to bring this product to life and to keep it going. We were just great that way.

k c a b k o o Al Congressman Frank LoBiondo, R-2nd, has been serving southern New Jersey since 1984 when he was elected to the Cumberland County Board of Freeholders. He was elected to Congress in 1994 and has been championing the Atlantic City area ever since. What comes to mind when you think of the Whoot! and Atlantic City Weekly? It’s something that people look forward to. It’s interwoven into our community and people have come to rely on it and depend on it. It’s essential for locals and visitors. It keeps you informed in a very efficient way and it’s something that no one should do without. It seems sometimes like it’s been here for more than 35 years. It’s something we’ve all grown accustomed to as just having here all the time. How has the paper changed from the Whoot! days? I think AC Weekly caught the second wave of development, along with the city. They changed in a timely fashion and at a time when the city was changing dramatically and accommodated what people were looking for — news, involvement in the community, human-interest articles. This is what you’ve been about for so many years, and especially the last decade. What do you think of the Top 40 Under 40, announced yearly in Atlantic City Weekly? It’s pretty unique from my perspective. I cover a third of the state geographically in the congressional district. I don’t know of anybody else who does anything like this. And I think it’s pretty neat to inspire younger people to get involved with the community.

N THE BEGINNING, AN OWL winked just below the kicky name Whoot! on the masthead. Later, the all-knowing bird took wing but his eyes lodged smartly in the doubleO. Today, the newspaper has a more mainstream look and conventional name, but expanded editorial content has not sacrificed the original mission: keeping a finger on the pulse of what’s happening at the Jersey shore. Thirty-five years, count ‘em, of Atlantic City Weekly have mounted in an industry as perilous as last month’s nor’easters. Its origins pre-date the casino era, and its future is betting on the synergy of print and electronic media. Though newspapers must evolve to survive, certain skills still apply. “My first love is photography, and I feel like I’ve sort of come full circle,” says publisher Lew Steiner, who, with his late parents, founded the paper in 1974. Though it’s not part of his job description, Steiner shoots videos for the AC Weekly Web site. Some habits die hard. The story starts with a 35-millimeter camera. Steiner, then a student at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey (then Stockton State College), helped launch a college newspaper at the new school’s temporary digs in Atlantic City’s Mayflower Hotel. As photo editor, the Ventnor native and Atlantic City High School grad put

Written By Jim Waltzer his 35mm to work, learned about layout, and sold advertising for the new publication. Soon he became the paper’s managing editor. Enterprising and energetic, Steiner liked the pace of the newspaper business. He began to think of more of the same, post-Stockton. “I had the bug and felt [Atlantic City] needed it,” he says. “It” was, in Steiner’s mind, an “entertainment paper for night owls.” His father, Herb, an Atlantic City real estate agent who had run an ad agency in New York, shared his son’s enthusiasm for the project and also had a way with a camera. A summertime newspaper took shape in their Ventnor garage. Its drawing-board name “Hoot” changed feathers to “Whoot!”; an owl, after all, is a quirky creature. The paper debuted on June 19, 1974 and, a year later, moved operations to a space at radio station WSLT in Ocean City. By 1978, legalized gambling had arrived in Atlantic City, and Whoot! had taken up residence on Atlantic Avenue near Atlantic City High School. Five years later, it was on to a converted house at the corner of Hampden Court and the Black Horse Pike in Pleasantville. It also picked up seashore icons Jerry Blavat (the Geator) and Pinky Kravitz as columnists. Blavat first met Steiner not long after opening the now

storied Memories Lounge in Margate in 1972. “I suggested to him that I could write a column about the happenings not only down at the shore, but also about show business in general,” recalls the Geator. “And that’s how it began.” The lively, newsy “Geator Gab” became “Ask the Geator” in February 2003, and the G-Man continues to field reader questions about music and the show biz world. Kravitz came into the fold after working with Steiner at a 1980s March of Dimes telethon on local cable-TV. The towering radio-TV host, A.C.’s answer to Philly’s “Wee” Willie Webber, had been friendly with Steiner Sr. and was a columnist with Boardwalk Reporter, a publication in decline at that point. The fit with Whoot! was a natural, and “Pinky’s Corner” still corners the market on regional insight. “I remember Pinky coming to the office in Pleasantville,” says Steiner. “He’d make some calls, do some typing, and he had a column. It was amazing, what he did.” Whoot! had punch and personality, and other go-to columns such as “Around Town” (written by Steiner’s father, the paper’s editor) and “The Whoot Route.” When Herb Steiner died in 1986, his widow Marcia grabbed the editorial reins. When she died a decade later, associate editor Lori Hoffman took charge, followed by Alyssa Wolf and Liz Logan. By

learn that the weekly’s readership was more than 50 percent local, and adjusted the editorial game plan accordingly. Features expanded, emphasizing local stories and becoming more inclusive with specials like the annual “The Top 40 Under 40.” The front page turned splashy with large color photos. The “Editor’s Letter” (later renamed “This Week”) joined the lineup, as did “Coasting”’s events-in-the-spotlight. Like the Geator’s music (and column), some oldies stayed put: “The Whoot Route” became “After Dark,” the community events calendar upgraded to a Cultural Calendar of attractions and happenings. “We morphed into halfway between a community paper and an ‘alternative weekly,’” says Steiner, citing Review’s South Philly Review as an example of the former, Philadelphia Weekly as an example of the latter. That evolution’s next phase is being forged by the Internet, which has, of course, retooled virtually all businesses, but exercises a unique impact on newspapers and magazines, whose literal product may appear online as well as in print. The burgeoning AC Weekly Web site expands print content, publishes articles online 24/7, and invites reader reactions and contributions. The staff at Bayport One shares

Web management with Philadelphia-based Review, and viewers/readers can log on from Somers Point to Shangri-la. “As a media organization, we remain committed to providing access to our content over a variety of platforms and channels,” says George Troyano, president and chief operating officer of Review Publishing. “Regardless of where you are, we want our readers to be able to access AC Weekly news and information.” Says AC Weekly editor Jeff Schwachter: “Our site gives people in, say, Ohio, the chance to plan their trips [to Atlantic City] in conjunction with our event calendar. More and more, we want people to be able to click on 2010 dates and see what’s going on in the Atlantic City region.” Now that’s the future, and it seems to have arrived. Yet reports of the demise of print may be exaggerated, as paper and computer screens may prove to be compatible, even synergistic. “The majority of people who read our newspaper [in print] also see our Web site,” contends Steiner, who adds that readers can submit photos and videos to the AC Weekly Web site. Of course, the camera-ready publisher already has the jump on them. ■

this time, the world had changed. The paper had moved to color and reduced its size (though not its volume) from “long” to “intermediate,” — “More magaziney,” says Steiner. And in June 2000, Steiner sold his newspaper to Review Publishing, which also publishes Philadelphia Weekly and the South Philly Review. So a project launched on a smile and a shoestring had gone corporate. Review brought in editorial consultant Frances Freedman, of Atlantic City Magazine and Philadelphia Magazine fame. The staff grew and marching orders changed. At first, the Whoot! gang remained in the Pleasantville house-office and the newspaper kept its endearing name, but by March 2004, the newly christened and redesigned Atlantic City Weekly had moved a mile down the pike to its present location in sleek Bayport One, formerly an administrative and training base for the Borgata. The paper was coming of age. “Review determined they wanted to reshape the newspaper for more growth,” says Mike Epifanio, who sat in the AC Weekly editor’s chair from spring 2002 through the end of 2007. “We engineered a change in content and finished the transformation that already had been done cosmetically.” Epifanio and company were surprised to

THE CITY BEAT

‘Beat’ Writer Reflections

When it comes to setting positive examples and giving ‘AC Weekly’ readers what they’ve come to expect, I think I can say ‘mission accomplished’. By Raymond Tyler

I

F THERE’S ONE WORD THAT SUMS up how I feel when I reflect back on my time writing “The City Beat” for Atlantic City Weekly it would be “proud.” I would bargain that, like it or not, most African-American columnists feel that they speak for more than just themselves in their writing. During the time I grew up, I was taught that whatever I did would be the measuring stick for a whole generation of black people. That’s just how I was raised. So when I reflect on my being unaware of any other black columnists working for AC Weekly before me, it makes me proud. I can say I’m a little concerned about the lack of other black journalists in our area, and frankly it causes me to wonder — with regard to this publication — whether or not I’ve delivered what was expected of me.

But based on what was explained to me when I first started writing for this paper — the editors wanted me to contribute the same flavor that I had done in stories for the Philadelphia Weekly and other publications — I think I have been successful from the outset. In that regard I feel that I can say “mission accomplished.” I think that with “The City Beat” I have challenged, in a good way, what readers have come to expect from Atlantic City Weekly. I believe that my editors over the years also deserve to take a bow. They had the vision to ask me to come on board and shake things up a little. They have always had the talent to make the stories I file even sharper and, most importantly for me, they understand that when I, as a writer, push for a story to be published,

they never [to my knowledge] take my staunch determination personally or treat me like “the angry black guy.” Finally, I hope that I have given the community reason to be proud. I do represent a lot of people from many different races, religions and backgrounds who have helped me get to this point. Reflecting on community response, I think I have been successful. I have brought my skills to bear on issues that have been important to Atlantic City, such as the article I wrote on police brutality and what is now an annual interview with Atlantic City health department head Ron Cash. I have sat down with the mayors of A.C. and Pleasantville and asked them the toughest questions I could come up with. I always welcome the chance to speak with any and all candidates for

public office. One friend reminded me of how blessed I am, noting that, “I remember us talking about people like Smokey Robinson and DMC in high school. Now you’re getting paid to talk to them!” I am glad that people consider my success to be part of their success. Likewise, I know that I am not perfect and welcome critical feedback. If I cross a line between insightful and funny into crass or demeaning, or in any way act irresponsibly as a columnist, I hope my readers will bring this to my attention. All in all, I hope that you’ve enjoyed my writing as much as I’ve enjoyed delivering it. n
