THIS WEEK

Your Voice Will Be Heard

T

HE FOLLOWING ARE COMMENTS we’ve received in the last week in relation to articles that appeared in our Nov. 26, 2009 edition in print and online at acweekly.com. Some of the following have been e-mailed by readers, others left as comments on our Web site; one is a response from one of our editors. As always, we encourage our readers to become a part of the discussion and send us their thoughts, views and opinions. Some of the following comments have been edited for space and clarity.

(FROM “THIS WEEK”: ‘DYLAN DOES IT AGAIN’)

“Thanks for this thought-provoking article.

Here’s a thumbs-up to Mr. Dylan and all those who have the initiative to exercise a little creativity in the holiday album context, rather than the endless string of cookie-cutter CDs we too often see. The LawTunes salute such efforts, and seek to follow in even a small way in such footsteps, as evidenced by our latest lawyer holiday gift album, Season’s Briefings From The LawTunes. You can hear clips at www.LawTunes.com. Thanks again for the interesting story on this remarkable individual.”

— band@lawtunes.com

(FROM “PINKY’S CORNER”: ‘IT’S ABOUT TIME’)

“Jeff- Pinky Kravitz is right on in his admonition that “it’s about time” that decrepit buildings be demolished. As the President of The Enclave Condominiums I can tell you that our residents are appalled at the lack of city response to our request for demolition of Seashore Gardens and the Marine Apts.

These eyesores, just at the beginning of the residential zone, give the wrong message to residents and visitors alike.This is not just an Enclave problem. It’s a city problem. I want to urge the AC Weekly to editorialize on this need and to continue to put pressure on city officials to clean up this vital section of the city.”

— Stuart Alperin

“You’re right as they say in the north of England, ‘Canny lad that Bob Dylan,’ makes you THINK.” — Ray, from the U.K. (FROM THE “UNDER THE BOARDWALK” FEATURE BY LORI HOFFMAN ON A.C.’S BOARDWALK CAT PROGRAM.)

“Yes, there are idiots who don’t spay/ neuter their cats. These might be the same people that post very negative unsubstantiated posts on the Web. If it weren’t for groups such as Alley Cat Allies, the problem would be much worse.”

— Gerard

“I find the passion on both sides of this issue interesting. Two hundred cats along six miles of Boardwalk is a pretty low number; “Pinky: As a resident of Atlantic City and the program is working. The seagulls are much Philadelphia I always read your column and more intrusive, but we don’t call for them to love it; it makes me feel like I’m in the know. be trapped and euthanized. Both of my cats Wish I had the time to comment more often were kittens left to fend for themselves at my apartment complex. Most people take care of but we are out here reading!”

— Lillian their pets. For the people who can’t or won’t, “I purchased a beach block lot on Seedorf we need organizations like Alley Cat Allies.”

— Lori Hoffman Lane. I cannot wait for that decrepit seashore house to come down. At that time I will build my dream retirement home in Atlantic City.

Pinky, as the saying goes, ‘I can live anywhere, but I like it here.’”

— Arnie Jeff Schwachter, Editor

Atlantic City Weekly’s Guide to Area Happy Hours

Make Use of Empty Lots T

By Pinky Kravitz

HANKSGIVING WEEKEND WAS A BUSY ONE in Atlantic City. Drivers were roaming around the city looking for places to park. With all the cars looking for parking, it should be noted that at the present time there are three major empty lots fronting the Boardwalk that should be turned into parking lots until such time as they are ready for development.

It is interesting to note that both Wildwood and Ocean City have lots on their respective Boardwalk frontages that are used for parking. They not only bring in revenue for their owners, but provide convenient parking spaces for residents and visitors to the beach and boardwalks.

A major lot in the center of Atlantic City is the site of the proposed Pinnacle Casino Hotel complex, between Indiana Avenue and Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard, and Pacific Avenue and the Boardwalk. This is the land upon which formerly sat the Sands Casino Hotel and a parking lot with shops on the Boardwalk frontage. Dan Lee, the former CEO of Pinnacle, said they would not be constructing anything on that site at the present time and he made no statement as to what they would do with their property while waiting for the economic conditions to change.

When Pinnacle demolished the Sands, they not only took down the building, but also the sidewalk and the street lights on Indiana Avenue. In the two years since the building has been demolished, the sidewalk and the lights have not been replaced. People walking to and from the Boardwalk on Indiana Avenue must walk in the street. Pinnacle was considerate in allowing the stores on the Boardwalk frontage to remain, and they opened a nice restaurant at Indiana Avenue and the Boardwalk. However, they’ve done nothing with the land that they have left vacant.

It is my understanding that Pinnacle officials have met with city officials to discuss the possibility of using their site for parking. I have been told that a lot that size could hold anywhere between 1,000 and 1,500 vehicles.

It would certainly fill a void of parking spots in the center part of Atlantic City, which is direly needed, and it would help the center-city business folks as well as those on the Boardwalk.

Another lot, adjacent to the Boardwalk Hall’s West Hall, was the site of the original Playboy Casino Hotel and more recently the Trump World’s Fair. This site, between Florida and Bellevue avenues and the Boardwalk to Pacific Avenue, was purchased from Donald Trump

by Bruce Toll. Toll’s plan was to construct a condominium complex in which units would sell for $1 million. I walked into an architect’s office one day and saw an architectural rendering of the most magnificent condominium buildings I have ever seen. I was asked not to say anything about the rendering until such time as they were ready to go forward with its construction. Up until this time, I have lived up to my promise. However, since it looks like nothing is going to happen there for a while, I felt I would be safe in saying I saw it and that the units designed would be well worth the $1 million price set for them, in good economic times.

This project would have been a tremendous asset

for the city and the businesses of the community.

Unfortunately, as we’ve found with so many projected developments in Atlantic City, the economic recession caused a cessation to the plans for it and all other condominium development. In the meantime, this land should be turned into a parking lot as it is next door to Boardwalk Hall, and could accommodate a considerable number of cars.

The third lot that would make an excellent parking lot for cars coming into Atlantic City is the site of Wally Barr and Curtis Bashaw’s projected casino hotel development between Albany Avenue and Roosevelt Place, and Atlantic Avenue and the Boardwalk. This block is at the end of Route 40, the Black Horse Pike.

Like the other two lots, the plans for its development are on hold until there’s an economic recovery and money becomes available for loans for such a development. It would provide an excellent site for those coming into Atlantic City to be able to park their cars and walk the Boardwalk, go to the beach, or leave their cars and take a jitney into the city.

Hopefully, we will see one or all of these sites become parking lots for the convenience of the residents and guests of Atlantic City. Without a doubt, these lots could hold over 3,000 vehicles. It would provide revenue for the owners to help pay for their taxes. If and when the economy turns around and money becomes available for the development of these three sites, we would be happy to lose these convenient parking lots.

Notes of Interest

I was remiss in not including the Tropicana Casino Hotel & Resort as one of the prime sponsors of the Atlantic City Marathon. Like the other two major sponsors, members of the Tropicana’s staff played an integral part in making the race a successful one.

Wow, what a great weekend! The highlight of my weekend was the privilege of seeing a genius at work.

Itzhak Perlman, without a doubt one of the finest musicians I have ever seen and heard perform, thrilled an audience of 1,700 at the Resorts Superstar Theater Saturday night. It was a performance I will never forget.

The town was filled with people enjoying the outstanding entertainment and the excellent weather we enjoyed. I was delighted to see the crowd of over 5,000 at the Legends Classic Basketball Tournament at Boardwalk Hall last Friday night. I anticipate this tournament will come back next year. A doff of the cap to the Boardwalk Hall staff for their excellent management of the event. n

Turco’s ‘Wonder’

If you are looking for a fun show for the kids this holiday season, Michael Turco’s magic show, Wonder, at Bally’s Palace Theater through Jan. 2, would be a great choice. Originally from Wayne, N.J., Turco became fascinated by magic at age seven. As he explains, “I spent my summers in Brigantine and I would go to Atlantic City and see all the magic shows.

It wasn’t one specific magician that got me hooked. When I was younger there were a lot more variety shows in Atlantic City, and they always had a magician.� Turco does traditional magic, including a really cool card trick in which he draws the picked card, but with a spectacular twist. “I designed the show as an illusion show as well as a lot of close-up magic.

I love doing close-up magic; you get a real response from people. I designed the show with a lot of audience interaction.� Turco also does a few big-scale tricks, assisted by a trio of sexy assistants who also dance when not being levitated or locked in a box and having swords thrust in their direction. “I try to keep both aspects of [magic], the large-scale illusions all the way down to the simplicity of card tricks.�

Asked if his magic career had tanked, did he have a backup plan, he says, “Well, I did graduate from college, but like I tell everyone in my show, you’ve got to believe in yourself.

You’ve got to stick with it. However long it takes, you will eventually get there. I never really had a doubt that I would get there.� — Lori Hoffman PHOTOS BY KEVIN McCARTY

While you are getting yourself all prettied up for these holiday parties, maybe you can start the celebration a little earlier this year and treat yourself to a fashion show for some inspiration. Come out next Thursday, Dec. 10 (5:30-9:30pm), to the Tun Tavern in Atlantic City as they will host the first A.C. Fashion Fusion event. This will be a “deliciously fabulous celebration” put on with Go Jane News and hosted by yours truly.

This event will showcase the Tun Tavern’s new wine list of over 80 wines by the bottle and 40 by the glass. It will also showcase women’s and men’s fashions from Serenity Boutique of Smithville and Simply Fly of Northfield. The Tun will be serving complimentary hors d’oeuvres and soft drinks and offer a full cash bar. Admission is only $15 with proceeds benefiting the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots program.

Not only is this a fashion show, but there will be prizes, give-aways and gift bags for all attendees. And by all attendees we mean men and women, everyone will be there. Plus, this will be a great opportunity to mingle with friends, meet new people, have great wine and food as well as check out the latest fashions. What more could you ask for on a Thursday night?

ALLING ALL DIVAS! WITH ALL of the holiday parties coming up, you’ll want to make sure you look your best. I am a big fan of the all-natural look, but sometimes we have to spice things up with a little makeup.

Doing your own makeup can be intimidating and we all know it isn’t as easy as it looks. But that is why there are so many local talented people who can help you in your crisis. One great option is to go to Mac at The Pier Shops at Caesars or Hamilton Mall or do a home party for Mary Kay with local Katrina Haviland marykay.com/katkleva.

Another excellent option would be to look up Lori Galinski from Picture Perfect Makeup (992-5678). She has been doing makeup professionally for years and will help you with any occasion. These options are definitely worthwhile, but I have to say that my personal loyalty lies with a local makeup artist who is truly phenomenal. Her name is Stacey May and she is a certified Motives consultant as well as a custom blend specialist with Image by Design.

I am blessed because every week when you see me on TV (during the AC Weekly/ NBC-40 “Entertainment Minute”), I have flirtatious hair by Art Is salon in Brigantine, a trendy wardrobe from Serenity Boutique in Smithville and fabulous makeup done by Stacey May! Now granted, she is doing my makeup for me, but she shows me how to apply it.

Her smokey eye makeup is one of a kind and is really popular amongst her clients. Not only that, I absolutely love the Motives by Loren Ridinger makeup line, which is what she uses. Yes I know you’ve heard that before, I love Mac makeup and Kohls’ makeup, but a girl can’t ever have enough! Seriously, after I tried the quality of the Motives makeup products I fell in love. What is the line all about? “Through meticulously selected color combinations, state-of-the-art simplicity, and the ability to customize your own individual style, Motives has taken traditional makeup to unimaginable heights while developing a comprehensive collection that complements the look for women of all ages, skin types, and skin tones.

Furthermore, these breakthrough formulas are paraben free and infused with natural ingredients like vitamins, minerals and antioxidants designed to benefit your skin long after the makeup is gone,” reads the description. The coolest thing is

Balls ‘n’ Brews

Besides a full-service sports bar, there’s little left to want in the area of entertainment at King Pin Recreation in EHT

By Ray Schweibert

A

NY BOWLING CENTER THAT LACKS A BAR or liquor license is severely impeding its mass appeal. It would be like banning fighting in the NHL or imposing a speed limit in NASCAR — nobody would go. And with the possible exception of those NASCAR fans, few sports-oriented activities are associated with tilting back a few cold ones the way bowling is.

The thing is, the bars at most bowling complexes are usually little more than concession stands that serve booze. They exist mainly to augment the activity that nearly everyone is there to partake in — bowling.

One sizable exception is the Sports Stop Lounge at King Pin Lanes, located at the King Pin Entertainment complex in EHT, adjacent to Bob’s Garden Center and just down the Black Horse Pike (on the west-bound side) from the Library III. The complex is immediately recognizable from the road by a huge white structure resembling a fabric Quonset hut, which currently houses activities like basketball, volleyball, a batting cage and a mini skateboard park, and is converted into an ice-staking rink in the winter.

The bowling building is set back from the road a bit, and the Sports Stop is one of its many components along with a 10-table billiards room, an arcade with almost every kind of electronic game or gadget you can imagine, a take-out food court and a banquet room for private parties. The Sports Stop differs from most bowling-alley bars in that it’s often its own destination, as any other sports bar/lounge might be.

This one just happens to be connected to 40 bowling lanes. In fact, on a recent late Saturday afternoon, the majority of those parked in front of the bar’s flat screens (of which there are about 20, including several at a slightly elevated dining area that is wait-staffed) were there to watch the Florida-Florida State football game. Most seemed oblivious to the fact that bowling was going on a few dozen feet away.

“Last night [Friday, Nov. 27] was a mob scene in here. It was crazy,” says bartender Shawn McGonigle.

“We have several regular customers who come in — it’s not just a bowling crowd. Tuesday nights are primarily bowlers because you can bowl for $2.50 per game.

Wednesdays we have the Big Al Karaoke party, which is popular, and on Friday and Saturday nights [10pm2am] we do ‘Galactic Bowling,’ which is a lot of fun.”

During Galactic Bowling, laser beams, black lights and florescent pins make for a sort of space-age bowling experience.

The King Pin poolroom is separated from the sports bar, but inside the bar/lounge itself are dartboards, a shuffleboard table, and touch-screen video games.

Along with the standard selection of wines, spirits and cocktails there are eight beers on tap including Sam Adams Winter Lager, Killian’s Irish Red, Blue Moon and Yuengling Lager. League activity takes place at King Pin

during regularly scheduled nights (call ahead for specifics) in pool, darts and, of course, bowling.

“It’s like a couch potato’s triathlon,” says McGonigle.

Southern Equities, LLC recently purchased King Pin Recreation and made it its fifth and northernmost acquisition (the other four are either in North Carolina or South Carolina). Everything except the Sports Stop has been renovated from the ground up, and while it still seems to be in near-pristine condition, the Sports Stop (which can accommodate about 150, including privately catered parties) will soon receive the same sort of upgrades.

“Right now we don’t have a set happy hour or anything like that, but after the renovations we’ll probably start one,” says McGonigle. “It’s going to be spectacular.” n

as the Darnells in 1963.

In the summer of 1965 when I was in boot camp, a song that was constantly being played on the radio was “Guantontamao” (Wan toon ta mayo). That is not the correct spelling but it is as close as I can remember. It was a slow song with words spoken through it. Do you remember the song and who sang it?

The Marvelettes never auditioned or recorded for Phil Spector, even though at the beginning of Motown’s success, Spector’s sound was the thing. The Marvelettes, though, did record that song in 1963 under another name, the Darnells. The other song, by the Supremes, was released in their early albums and was also a single on the Motown label in 1965.

I heard a song on your show from Chickie’s & Pete’s. It’s probably a ’70s song, very uptempo with a male lead and female backing vocals. Throughout the song these phrases are repeated: “Don’t let go, let go, let go, let go. Hold on . . .” I would be very grateful if you could name the tune for me. Thank you!

— George

It’s called “Hold On,” and the dance that they do to it is the Chez Vous Walk.

We play it at all of our personal appearances. It was by a very talented group called the Radiants, from the Chicago area, who unfortunately were overshadowed by the Dells, who also recorded on the Chess/Checker labels.

Hey Mr. Geator: Do you recall a recording back in the late ’60s to early ’70s called “Lily and the Zam Bam Fafooogie”?

It was popular down South but never caught on. Thanx.

The Blind Side

Smashmouth Sentimentality ‘The Blind Side’ is conventional storytelling with real heart

By Lori Hoffman

T

HE BLIND SIDE I S E X A C T LY what the coming attractions suggested it was — the story of a homeless young black teenager who is taken in by a rich white family and later finds success as a football star.

It is a true story told in a straightforward manner, and thanks to the wonderful lead performances by Sandra Bullock as a feisty real housewife from Memphis, Leigh Anne Tuohy, and Quinton Aaron as Michael Oher, the boy her family eventually adopts, it is an effective story about kindness and smashmouth football.

Writer and director John Lee Hancock brings the same family bonding and living-your-dream mentality to this film that he brought to the upbeat sports’ saga The Rookie.

Michael Oher had a difficult childhood, with a drug-addicted mother.

When the father of a friend took his son to a Christian school hoping to improve his education, he brought Michael along.

Once the football coach saw him, he was The Blind Side HHHH Written & directed by John Lee Hancock; rated PG13

D E C E M B E R 3 , 2 0 0 9 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

Twilight Saga: New Moon HHHH Directed by Chris Weitz; rated PG13

determined to get Michael admitted to the school as an act of Christian faith and championship desire.

Known as Big Mike, one evening he is walking in the rain and is spotted by Leigh Anne and her family. When she realizes he is homeless, she offers him a place to stay for the night. From there Michael’s plight captures her heart, and the Tuohy family eventually offers him a permanent place in their family.

The rest of the story tosses in a bit of Deep South racism, a dollop of foamingat-the-mouth college football coaches who want to sign him for their team, and a tutor, Miss Sue (Kathy Bates), who helps him bring his grades up to the level that he will be academically eligible to play football and earn a scholarship.

Miss Sue’s presence provides the golden opportunity for country superstar Tim McGraw, who plays Sean Tuohy, to say to his wife, “Who would have thought we would have a black son before we would meet a Democrat?”

Something that bothered me about The Blind Side is that it seems too perfect. Families have fights and problems and there had to be tension created when Michael came into the Tuohy family. However, any rough patches are rubbed away, and that polished perfection seemed less than genuine at times.

What is always genuine, however, is Bullock who really captures the passion and commitment of Leigh Anne Tuohy. She is a classic force of nature type and Bullock brings that out in her performance. Aaron is her counterpart as Michael. His quiet desperation and instinct to keep his emotions in check slowly dissolve away, nurtured by love and respect.

The Blind Side presents the upbeat family-film playbook with no surprises, but if you’re in the mood for a feel-good flick, this is certainly an excellent choice.

‘Twilight’ Fades Look, I’m not the targeted audience for The Twilight Saga: Full Moon but I did like the first film, calling it an enjoyable teen romance with a little bite. The sequel, however, is bland and nearly toothless.

As with most sequels, it has a difficult time living up to the expectations of the original. Vampire lover Bella (Kristen Stewart) and her blood-sucking love interest Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) have the same problem as always. They can’t be together because

if he loses control, she becomes a vampire. Bella is willing, but for Edward that would be destroying the person he loves.

Edward leaves town and Bella goes into a deep funk, but eventually is helped by her friendship with long-time buddy Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Jacob has a crush on Bella, but he also has a secret. When he unleashes his wolf-boy persona, you can’t help but wonder — will Bella ever draw the attention of a normal guy?

Most of the time the movie is tedious, although it does improve when the action moves to Italy, home of the Volturi, the royalty of the Vamps. Here Michael Sheen injects a little fun into the proceedings as the head of the family, with just a touch of Don Corleone around the edges. Other than that, however, New Moon is a dull, forgettable sequel. n

AN AND SANDI ANDERSON are both college educated, but their careers in the culinary field evolved in a way that seems more like ancestral days when the best way to succeed was through physical hard work and determination.

The couple met at one of the area’s most revered dining establishments, the Ram’s Head Inn, each having begun at the industry’s ground level before becoming primary players in Ram’s Head management. About a year ago they learned of the pending sale of another cornerstone of the local community — Mac’s Restaurant in Somers Point — and decided to strike out on their own and buy it. Established in 1924 by Harold McGronical, Mac’s was run for nearly 60 years by the Previti family. A group of investors purchased it and, having little formal background in the industry, struggled to make it work.

“My wife [who lived most of her life in Ocean City] has a degree in business and marketing from the University of Colorado, and for about 26 years she worked at the Ram’s Head Inn,” says Dan Anderson. “She started as a server and worked her way up to dining room manager, a position she held for years. She was the driving force behind upholding the quality there.”

Originally from Pittsburgh, Dan Anderson has a degree in education from Edinboro University in northwestern Pa. He worked his way through college “doing all the odd jobs” in restau-

Nancy, Paul and Amanda Jones of Linwood

rants before also landing at the Ram’s Head in 1984.

“Fate had it that I ended up in South Jersey,” he says. “I came to get a job in a casino, but was so impressed by the Ram’s Head I started working there instead. I began as a waiter, took over as maitre d’, and stayed there for 24 years [including the last five as general manager]. And not only did I fall in love with the restaurant, I fell in love at the restaurant, as that’s where I met Sandi.”

The Andersons are still finalizing transfer of ownership. Before the Previtis sold

Mac’s they poured a sizable cache of cash into its revitalization about four years ago. The Andersons opted to take that one step further with a new name, and Sandi Pointe Coastal Bistro was agreed upon after receiving considerable input from many sources.

“Sandi Pointe was, in fact, the last of several names we liked that were taped to our refrigerator,” says Anderson. “My wife was a little self conscious about using her own name, but it seemed fitting in that it sort of ties in with the name of the town and, with our proximity to the sea and

sand, it’s a bit of a play on words.”

The Andersons hired as their head chef Robert Bell III, whose history in the business is as impressive as their own.

A graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., Bell was most recently the executive chef at Double Gate Country Club in Albany, Ga., before returning to his native southern New Jersey.

“Our vision of what we wanted to do with the place worked out great with his background and taste profile,” says Anderson. “It’s been a really good meld.”

Seafood constitutes the essence of Sandi Pointe’s menu, but it also includes beef, poultry and veal dishes.

All entrees are reasonably priced ($15$30), and there are hot and cold “sharing plate” appetizers, a raw bar and sushi selections.

“We’re not the type of place that will have 60 or 80 things on the menu, but we try to keep what we serve as healthy as possible and offer enough choices to satisfy many tastes,” says Anderson.

“As great as Chef Luigi [Baretto, of the Rams Head] is, they serve dishes that are more along the traditional lines, with rich sauces and heavier foods. We’re sticking more to the pure proteins here — fresh fish, fresh beef, fresh crab meat.”

The Andersons are also what Dan terms “cork dorks” — wine connoisseurs that can help diners pair meals with an impressive selection. There are also several premier beers on tap. n see more online @

THE CITY BEAT

The Last Dragon

A chat with a star from one of the first ‘family friendly’ martial-arts films

By Raymond Tyler

I

N 1 9 8 5 , M O T O W N Entertainment’s film division was known for family friendly, but wellacted films including (up to that point) Mahogany, Lady Sings the Blues and Bingo Long’s Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings.

With less than two decades left in the 20th century, the powers at Motown invested in the major motion picture The Last Dragon. Motown Films and television planned to become a force in the 1980s and ’90s much the same way Motown Records became a major player in music during the ’60s and ’70s. The film revolved around the good-natured Leroy

Green, who battled to save his neighborhood from the evil master Sho Nuff.

More than 20 years after its release, lines from the movie are still quoted among fans.

Through the magic of VHS, DVD, BluRay and YouTube, the first family friendly martial-arts film continues to gain new fans.

The actor who played Green in The Last Dragon, Taimak (pronounced tie-mock), will be here in Atlantic City on Dec. 8-9. Taimak will be my special guest at a networking/ live entertainment event called After Dark on Dec. 8 at 7pm. After Dark will bring to the Tropicana’s Planet Rose an old school “cool” inspired by great talk/variety shows

like Johnny Carson and, of course, Hugh Hefner in Playboy After Dark. Taimak, Lee Ann Paterson from HBO’s documentary Youth Knows No Pain, and Los Jones from the new 50-Cent DVD Before I Self Destruct will all be at After Dark along with a great cast of live performers doing rock, standup comedy, soul and songs from the Great American Songbook. Admission is $10 at the door, or $5 with the donation of a new toy, coat or warm-weather item for the third annual City Beat/Breakfast Club Drive.

On Dec. 9, Taimak will be visiting area schools discussing the secrets of his success with teachers and students. He took a few minutes to speak with me about The Last Dragon, his career and staying in shape.

He says he’s thankful about his unforgettable role in The Last Dragon.

“First of all, I am thankful just to have life and to be able to get up in the morning. That’s the most important thing that everyone needs to realize. Looking back on The Last Dragon, it was campy and

that was a movie I did when I was 18.

Sometimes the ‘Sho Nuff’ stuff gets old.

However, I am proud people share this movie with their kids.”

Taimak says a sequel is in the works with Samuel L. Jackson cast as Sho Nuff.

Another project Taimak has worked on is a fitness video (Journey to Body Perfection).

Says Taimak: “People often overdo it at the start. You need to start with something you can easily do about three times a week so that exercise doesn’t become another problem in your life.” n

Charlie Prose Christmas Show

Christmas with Charlie

When: Dec. 4-6; Fri. 9pm, Sat. 8pm; Sun. 3pm Where: Trump Plaza Theater How Much: $35

Charlie Prose has performed a Christmas show in Atlantic City for two decades

By Michael Pritchard

I

F YOU’VE EVER SEEN A performance by local entertainer Charlie Prose, and quickly became a fan, there are a couple of quick assumptions that might be made. You’ve probably traveled extensively on tour buses that have played his best-selling videos and you know what they call the cardboard tube in a roll of toilet paper (It’s a tu-ta-roo, by the way. Well, if it’s decorated).

But more likely, you’ve made a tradition of spending a little of your holiday season with Prose, who has been performing a Christmas show in Atlantic City for more than 20 years with only two missed years. This Friday, Saturday and Sunday (Dec. 4-6) Prose brings the show to the Trump Plaza Theater.

“This is the 19th show we’ve done and I think that makes it the longest running Christmas show in Atlantic City history,” Prose says in a telephone

‘People appreciate that I do a very clean, family friendly show.’

48

D E C E M B E R 3 , 2 0 0 9 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

interview from his Mays Landing home.

“I’ve been very fortunate.”

Fortunate yes, but as with many things in Prose’s career, it was more about finding an entertainment niche nobody else could see. Prose, 64, had a thriving career in the shore area, playing frequently in Wildwood. When Atlantic City brought in casinos, Prose took his act to the then Playboy Casino, where he played for three years. And as the Christmas season approached each year, he would watch the casino city go dark for the month.

“Back then there was no entertainment in the city in December,” he says.

“The casino executives just assumed you couldn’t draw people during the month and they would close the rooms — you know clean them, refurbish them — and wait for New Year’s. But I started getting messages from fans saying, ‘Charlie, why aren’t there any Christmas shows in Atlantic City?’

“So I put together a Christmas show,”

Prose says. “Eventually we moved to Trump Plaza and they just put on such a wonderful show with such great production. Well, we’re still doing it all these years later, so I think we proved you can draw a crowd in December.”

It’s typical Prose, most notably when he mentions feedback from his fans. While an entertainer first, Prose has also proven to be a master at marketing himself and has always kept an extensive mailing list of fans (he calls them “friends”).

“Right now we have a database of 450,000 people,” he says. “That’s a wonderful luxury for a performer to have; to be able to reach out to your fans and ask them for feedback. I’m able to ask them, ‘OK, what do you want to see next?’”

That connection with the fans was enhanced early in his Atlantic City career when Prose began videotaping his performances and giving them to travel-tour buses to play on trips. He was inspired by the amount of bus traffic and tour buses Atlantic City saw in those days. It proved to be a brilliant marketing move.

“That put my name out there and all over the country,” he says. “Into the Midwest and Ohio and Indiana, Canada,

really all over the place. It gave me national recognition.”

Even at his age, Prose still tours the country and plans a Midwest tour in the spring. He’s also an actor and will perform the lead role in Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite at the Hunterdon Hills Playhouse in Hampton, N.J., in the fall.

But Christmas still belongs to Atlantic City, where he performs a mixture of comedy and music.

“I’ve always been a variety performer,” Prose says. “People try to put you in a box. ‘Well, are you a singer, comedian, a dancer, whatever?’ I’ve always resisted that. I do a bit of everything in the act.

It’s really a big party.”

While Prose plays piano and sings, along with a 13-piece orchestra, he’s always felt that comedy was a natural extension of his act.

“The way the world is right now, I think it’s more important to laugh and have comedy in our lives than ever,” he says. “I try to show people that there is comedy all around us and plenty of opportunities to find something to laugh about. One of the new things I’ve been doing is just reading from the clas-

sified ads. These are real ads and they come out in the paper everyday and some are just hysterical.”

Some examples Prose shares: “Exercise bike … barely used … call Chubby”; “Wedding dress … worn once in a mistake.”

Of course with a loyal fan base like Prose’s, there are a few classics he has to hit, the most famous being the tu-ta-roo (You know, the toilet roll tube).

“That came out of a bit I was doing on how much kids have today and how little it took to make us happy when we were kids,” he says. “That little cardboard tube was all we needed. I would turn it into a musical instrument and just strut around the house playing the tu-ta-roo [now the name makes sense]. It’s a favorite and people like that bit and a few others. I try to update the show each year, but people expect some things.”

So much so that Prose receives decorated tu-ta-roos from fans.

Prose is also happy that the show, while updated, hasn’t changed much through the years.

“In this time of downsizing, I don’t want to change a thing,” he says. “I still want my back-up singers with me and the orchestra. And I want the same humor I’ve always done. We talk about life and marriage and even sex, but with no dirty words. People appreciate that I do a very clean, family friendly show.”

Most of all, they expect Prose to help them welcome in the holidays and for this year’s show, he is coming home in more ways than one. Prose eventually moved his Christmas show to other casino venues than Trump Plaza, so this year’s performance is a return to where he started.

“That makes it all very special to me,” he says. “Trump Plaza feels very much like home to me. One of the best-selling videos I ever did was at Trump Plaza [An Evening with Charlie Prose]. In fact it’s still selling.”

And so is the Charlie Prose Christmas Show; an Atlantic City institution that, if Prose has his way, will be with us for years to come.

“I’d like to do a 50th anniversary show one day,” he laughs. “That would just be wonderful.” n see more online @

T WOULD BE EASY FOR LIONEL RICHIE to sit on his laurels. The singer-songwriter-producer has sold more than 100 million albums. That’s a staggering amount, which places Richie in the upper echelon of pop music along with such legendary figures as Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Michael Jackson.

The former leader of Motown hitmakers the Commodores, who recorded such hits as “Brick House,” “Easy” and “Three Times a Lady,” has enjoyed ridiculous solo success.

During the ’80s, Richie resided in Los Angeles and on Billboard’s Top 10. “Truly,” “All Night Long” and “Hello” are just some of his Top 5 hits. Richie proved to be a master at delivering flashy, catchy pop numbers and moving, poignant ballads.

Richie, who will perform Saturday, Dec. 5, at Caesars Atlantic City, could live off the hits and ride the nostalgia wave until he retires. But Richie, 60, who has always been an energetic entertainer, can’t help but craft new material. Richie is out behind his latest effort Just Go, which was released in May.

‘Don’t ask me to rap.

But if you want me to sing a song or hum a song, I’m all for it.’

“I took some chances with this album,” Richie tells Atlantic City Weekly. “But it’s good to take risks.”

Richie surrendered control to such young, hit-making producers as Ne-Yo and Akon. “It all worked out for me,” Richie says. “I felt like it was 30 years ago. Giving up the [autonomy] was a good thing for me.”

However, don’t expect a completely revamped Richie.

“It’s not as if I had some crazy makeover,” Richie says.

“Don’t ask me to rap. But if you want me to sing a song or hum a song, I’m all for it. No matter what I do, the common denominator is melody. That’s what I bring to the table. It doesn’t matter if the song was written 30 years ago or last year.”

To Richie’s credit, the new album isn’t overproduced.

“I left the toys behind to make it perfect,” Richie says. “I would rather the album be real than perfect.”

One of the playful Richie’s most appealing traits is how down to earth and direct the veteran performer has always been.

Richie laughs at the distant memory back when he was the Commodore’s saxophonist prior to becoming the act’s vocalist.

“I was happy with my role way back when,” Richie

says. “I was not campaigning to be the vocalist. It just happened. I became the singer because I wrote songs. I sang the songs I wrote and I put down the horn. I never picked it up again.”

Richie has done all right switching positions. He’s done so well that there isn’t a heck of a lot left for him to accomplish.

“It’s nice that I have the hits, the Oscar [for “Say You, Say Me” from the 1985 film White Nights], the Grammy [Can’t Slow Down for 1983’s Album of the Year],” Richie says. “What’s great about all of that is that it allowed me to be me. You really can’t beat that. It’s allowed me to do whatever I wanted. You can’t put a price on that kind of freedom. I’m incredibly fortunate with music and my personal life. I wouldn’t change any of it. It all worked out for me and it’s still working out.” n see more online @

PEOPLE

The Caring Caregiver I Interview by Carole Mattessich

N A HALF-CENTURY OF MEDICAL teaching, Atlantic City-area doctor Victor Bressler also has become known — and beloved — for showing caregivers of all ages and stations the potential power of the arts and humanities in the medical context. He helps doctors and patients alike see how activities such as writing might help move them into relationships where qualities like empathy and acceptance trump the anger, fears and depression so often associated with illness and dying.

You’re a pioneer in medical humanities.

After I dispensed my internal medicine practice in 2002, I focused on teaching medical humanities, that is art as it relates to healthcare. This sometimes is taken for granted, though in the past decade it has appeared more and more in medical school curricula and peer review literature.

become documents of enlightenment; they feed our awareness, and the acuity of that awareness of the universal aspects of what might otherwise have seemed isolated workplace events.

How do you define caregiver?

We are all caregivers, whether we are professionals or not. We take care of ourselves 24/7 and therefore we’re on common ground — with the same feelings, fears and, eventually, insights into how it feels to be concerned about life as it intersects with the discomforts of illness and dying.

And how might writing become relevant to the process?

We are all on a common pathway, but there is no single template for action.

We talk about journaling, about narrative medicine, about poetry and medicine, yet only a small fraction of young physicians will move in that direction. The rest is How did your interest develop?

A holistic approach always seemed very discovered over time. I tried journaling in important to me, but this is a continuing my early years and it was a disaster because process. In the service, due to a doctor I was much too self-conscious. But now, I shortage I had an opportunity to enter write at random about the events of my the fields of psychiatry and neurology. day and encounters with colleagues, famThis opened my eyes to many things I’d ily, friends and patients. Setting these out thought about, but at a more pragmatic on paper provides an opportunity to reflect level. Then again, the longer physicians upon and rethink the events. are in practice, the more experiences we accumulate about ourselves in relation to You’ve cautioned about technology’s limits. patients and patients’ families. Eventually Our technologies have become highly we may write about these things and these complex and competitive, and when they

are being touted, the person — whether doctor or patient — may become obscured.

We should of course prepare as best possible, but we must be mindful that the patient still is in the center.

Empathy, and listening, play major parts in your teaching.

Ultimately you best know what’s going on when you yourself have been there. And we must be prepared to “listen,” even when it isn’t real. A patient of mine — a fine, fine physician — had patients visiting him on his deathbed. As he slipped further away from this life, his wife asked, “How can you give these people so much time? They just want you to listen to them and they’re not understanding what’s happening with you.” He laughed and said, “Who’s listening?” All those people had a relationship with that doctor. They loved him, and he understood that they loved him. He didn’t have to hear what they were saying; he knew what they were feeling. And these are some of the intricacies, the beautiful

themes that insinuate themselves in the practice of caring.

Your annual conferences help caregivers consider these concepts.

This is our 19th year on the concept of “Bringing Caregivers Closer.” [This year’s all-day conference is Dec. 11 at Stockton College.] AtlanticCare has evolved a philosophy that looks to the larger community, so we bring our interns and our residentsin-training, but we also extend it to the community. We bring in poets, writers, cancer survivors. The mix makes a difference. You can teach the humanities, but mostly they have to be learned through living. It becomes about what happens psychologically, and spiritually, between caregiver and patient. n Send Carole Mattessich your suggestions for interesting subjects for our “People” column.
