If you’re looking for a barometer of how much cabin fever was going around following that hellacious, postChristmas snowstorm, look no further than the Borgata over New Year’s Eve weekend. You name the venue in the hotel, casino and spa, and it was likely packed to the gills at any given time. Comedian/TV personality Joel McHale sold out two shows at the Music Box on Friday night, country superstar Carrie Underwood sold out the Event Center and singing legend/Jersey Boys subject Frankie Valli sold out the Music Box Saturday night, and all hotel rooms and both spas (Spa Tocare and The Water Club) were booked solid the entire weekend. Additionally, there were seven parties over three nights in Borgata’s nightclubs (MIXX, mur.mur, the B Bar and Gypsy Bar) that were standing-room only. So what does it take to satisfy this kind of volume? Take a gander at some figures provided by Borgata marketing coordinator Brian Brennan: More than 25,000 automobiles were parked, hotel guests used about 79,000 cotton bath towels, patrons of 14 restaurants and in-room diners were served over 60,000 meals, including 1,350 pounds of shrimp, 4,300 pounds of lobster, 21,250 shucked clams, 600 pounds of roasted lamb racks, 1,400 pounds of USDA prime filet, 400 pounds of milk-fed veal, and approximately 3,230 glasses of champagne were clinked together at midnight. “All of which made for a very happy New Year for all our guests,� says Brennan. — Ray Schweibert

Cape May County Dept. of Tourism Garners Gold

1/5/11 2:20 PM

The Cape May County Department of Tourism (CMCDT) will be honored with a Gold Adrian Award by the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) at its 54th annual Adrian Awards Gala later this month. The awards gala attracted almost 1,100 entries, and the CMCDT was selected for its public relations excellence in a marketing campaign celebrating more than 40 years of patronage by the French Canadians to Cape May County. Diane Wieland, director of tourism for Cape May County, explained, “The multi-layered campaign targeting the loyal French Canadian traveling public was implemented largely through a public relations strategy saving thousands of dollars in the department’s budget, and resulting in significant proceeds at the cash registers as reported by businesses throughout the county.� The group drew visitors from Canada to Cape May County with, among other things, a “Passport to Savings� coupon book that was made accessible via outlets such as the Canadian Automobile Association offices. The gala will take place Jan. 31 at the New York Marriott Marquis. The nearly 1,100 entries came from around the world in this competition that has been recognized as the largest and most prestigious travel marketing competition globally. — Alison Baxter

Psychedelic sounds from around the world have become more widely available in recent years thanks to digital technology. Now hundreds of collections of music recorded in places like Nigeria and Thailand during the 20th century, including this absolutely amazing one, are available on CD and sometimes even vinyl on reissue labels such as Soundway, Analog Africa, Sublime Frequencies, and others. Not sure what Luk Thung means? Doesn’t matter.

Boardwalk Hall Tops All Mid-Sized Arenas

Boardwalk Hall continues to be Atlantic City’s ace in the hole, chalking up another year-end distinction as one of the country’s best mid-sized arenas. Billboard magazine names the Hall as the top grossing mid-size arena in the country in its 2010 year-end music issue. As detailed in Billboard’s Top 10 Venues chart, the 14,700seat Hall brought in more than $15 million in ticket sales and attracted 252,577 attendees for 35 ticketed shows, which included 15 concerts and seven sellouts. Boardwalk Hall finished ahead of the 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore and the Spokane Arena in Spokane, Wash. Boardwalk Hall was also ranked sixth in mid-size arenas worldwide. Some of the shows that helped Boardwalk Hall in 2010 included Lady Gaga on July 4, three soldout Phish shows over Halloween weekend and shows by the Black Eyed Peas and Nickelback. And 2011 is looking to give the Hall a fast start. “With upcoming events such as the Miss’d America Pageant on Jan. 16, the return of Lady Gaga Feb. 19, A-10 Men’s Basketball Championship March 11 through 13 and the premier of ECAC Hockey, March 18 and 19,� says Jeff Vasser, president of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority, “we continue to actively host events that increase Boardwalk Hall’s popularity and solidify Atlantic City’s status as a major year-round vacation destination for millions of people each year.� — Mike Pritchard

O YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? Is your New Year’s resolution to replenish that 401(k) that got shellacked by the recession? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you should get your Fred Astaire-inspired feet over to Bally’s Grand Ballroom next Thursday night, Jan. 13, for its inaugural Swing Era Marathon Dance-Off. Not only can couples potentially claim superiority on the dance floor, they can cash in on a $2,500 prize in each of two categories and a 1920s-themed weekend at Bally’s. “I love how they’re playing off the whole nostalgia of the HBO show [Boardwalk Empire], and the city itself — maybe due in part or as a result of the popularity of the show — is sort of getting back to its roots of the old Boardwalk, the classic music, and the whole idea of the heyday of what it was like back then,� says Paul Consentino, founder and member of the Boilermaker Jazz Band, one of two groups that will perform at the event. “It’s nice to know that the hotels there are starting to think about things like this, because those types of venues were essentially the bread and butter for musicians going all the way back to the ’20s and ’30s. “To bring that back I think is a great idea, and I say that not just selfishly or with the hope of getting good jobs, but the whole concept of live music incorporated into the sphere of entertainment is nice to see because it seemed to be heading in another direction,� adds Consentino. “In terms of the beach, the Boardwalk, the gambling — back in the day that kind of music was something you also had to have in order to be considered a legitimate destination point. And that was really where half the fun was, so for [Bally’s] to be bringing it back I think can only help them, with casinos being built all over the place now.� That is precisely the idea behind Bally’s endeavor, which also includes a recently launched “Reflections of A.C.� self-guided walking tour, and is an integral part of the master plan of re-branding Atlantic City as a destination not just for gaming. Consentino lives in Pittsburgh (having begun the Boilermaker Band as an offshoot of the much larger Carnegie Mellon Jazz Ensemble in 1988), and says, “I can get to a casino in five minutes from my house now. Until a couple of years ago, I never was able to do that. “If you’ve ever read about the origins of Las Vegas, especially with it being out in the middle of the desert, they had difficulty getting people to go there from L.A., let alone flying in from the East Coast,� he adds. “That’s why they had to hire guys like Frank Sinatra to a contract for several shows a year, because they knew that once they had the attraction to bring people in, they’d see all the other entertainment options available and want to go back. That would seem to be the idea here.� Couples participating in Bally’s Swing Era Marathon Dance-Off can register for either of two parts — a six-hour stamina segment (6pm-midnight) or a comJoin us on Facebook:

petition based solely on dancing skills and judged by dance experts. Opening the show will be Michael Arenella and his Dreamland Orchestra, which will play from 6-9pm, followed by the Boilermaker Jazz Band (9pm-midnight). “The marathon aspect of it is somewhat unusual, but the competition part of it is something we do quite often,� says Consentino, a singer/clarinet player who will be joined in A.C. by band mates Jennie Luvv (vocals), Ernest McCarty (bass), Thomas Wendt (drums) and Mark Kotishion (piano). “When we play at swing-dance festivals, there will be social dancing and parts of the evening will include contests, and the contests usually involve different styles of dance like the Charleston, the Lindy Hop, the Balboa and others that were popular forms of dancing from eras like the ’20s, ’30s and ’40s, where the steps and the music are different. Even if you’re not in the competition, it’s still very cool to watch really good dancers who know what they’re doing. “What’s also cool, from a personal perspective, is that when I started doing this more than 20 years ago, I’d mostly play for sit-down audiences and most of the people were twice my age,� adds Consentino. “Now I’m playing for these dance competitions and many of the people are half my age. A lot of them are in their 20s and extremely athletic. These days many colleges have swingdancing clubs, so we play for college kids all the time.� Don Marrandino, eastern division president of Caesars Entertainment (Bally’s parent company), says in a release, “With the addition of the ‘Reflections of A.C.’ tour, the ‘Prohibition Era’ pricing at our food-and-beverage outlets, and the ‘Swing Era Dance-Off’ at Bally’s, Atlantic City continues to evolve as a great destination resort as well as a leader of diverse entertainment offerings along the East Coast.� N

HERE’S NO WAY TO WIN BY making New Year’s predictions, so I gave them up a long time ago. Get it right, and whatever expertise, knowledge and intuitive foresight you put into the prognostication will be immediately discounted as a lucky guess. Get it wrong, and you just plain look foolish. So for years, whenever I’ve been asked to predict Atlantic City’s entertainment fortunes for a new year, I fall back on a safe response. I simply say that I think there’ll be a lot of good shows coming to Atlantic City. Oh, I may go out on a limb and make an educated guess that we’ll see a few big touring acts stop by Boardwalk Hall, but that’s pretty much a gimme. Or I might be bold and say one casino will book a big act once considered untouchable, but we seem to be running out of those names. Or that we can expect to see some non-traditional entertainment, like the Atlantic City Hilton did last summer with former President Bill Clinton and conservative TV talkers Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly in a speaker’s series. But the whole business of booking casino entertainment has changed radically and dramatically over the years. Twenty years ago, when Atlantic City still had the East Coast monopoly on casino gaming, there really wasn’t much of a strategy involved in scheduling acts for the showrooms. Marketing departments would pinpoint the demographics the casino wanted to target on a particular weekend or during a period of the year. A loose budget would be set and the entertainment director would begin working the various booking agencies to see which artists or shows were available, and then negotiate prices and dates. Often, if an act had a proven track record as a casino attraction — meaning the performer would not only sell tickets, but sell them to gamers — the casino would work to lock the artist in for an exclusive multiple-play deal, often for more than one year. One of the standards in the business used to be two weekends and a week on a three-year deal. That meant for three years, an act could always count on a full week of work in Atlantic City — usually during the summer — with Join us on Facebook:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

two weekend gigs during the off-season months. And since many acts signing long-term deals in Atlantic City also did the same in Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe, it made it much easier for the artist to route a tour well in advance. Those days are but a distant memory. Exclusive, long-term deals are pretty much a relic today. Although there are a handful of artists whose value to a casino is worth a multiple-play contract, the vast majority of showroom bookings are one-and-done one-nightstands. And where casinos once booked a year or more in advance, many bookings today are done with as little as four to six weeks of lead time. Sure, there are still contractual safeguards that prevent most acts from appearing at a competing casino within a certain time frame and distance, so that no artist performs in a near-by Pennsylvania casino too soon after working here (not that it’s likely to happen; Pennsylvania casinos are so heavily taxed they really can’t afford to book major shows). As Atlantic City heads into the only real slow period of the year on the entertainment calendar — January is traditionally the weakest month for shows — the first quarter of 2011 does offer a plethora of entertainment from the Anti-Social Network comedy show with Jim Norton at Borgata on Jan. 15 & 16 to a rare appearance by ex-Fugee Lauryn Hill at the House of Blues at Showboat on Jan. 29. Other names coming to town over the next few months include Jerry Seinfeld, Korn, Pat Benatar, Flogging Molly, the Levon Helm Band, the B-52’s, Robin Thicke and the return of Lady Gaga at Boardwalk Hall Feb. 19. For a look at how the showrooms are stocked so far during the first quarter of 2011, see p. 27 or read the Web version of this column, which can be found at acweekly.com.ÊN

O THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER, the city’s casinos are reporting that big crowds showed up for an exciting New Year’s weekend and the city’s poker rooms have been churning along as usual. And now comes winter — bleak, cold winter. But while the city may be in a bit of post holiday, cold weather funk for the next few weeks, there’s still a fair amount of poker action to keep players at the tables. First up is the city’s bad-beat jackpots, which haven’t had a major hit since the Tropicana’s bad beat hit for about $271,000 on Dec. 17. As of this writing the Caesars combined bad-beat jackpot is starting to get into lofty heights again at $414,933. It’s about the third time since the combined jackpot — which includes Caesars, Harrah’s Resort, Showboat and Bally’s — has climbed over $400K since it was created in August. As part of the rules, the minimum hand for the bad-beat win goes down each week the jackpot doesn’t hit. That minimum hand dropped to quad fives Wednesday, which is pretty close to the normal quad deuces that was the usual standard for the city’s bad-beat jackpots in the past. In other words, bad-beat mania should soon be making another appearance in the city over the next week or two if the jackpot continues to climb. Remember, under the combined badbeat rules, 30 percent goes to the bad-beat winner/loser of the hand, 20 percent to the hand winner and 50 percent is divided among all players in the four rooms. The last time the jackpot hit big, for $532,000 in November, 372 players in the four rooms received $713. The Borgata’s bad-beat jackpot is also getting up there, coming in at about $260,000 as of Tuesday. The Borgata splits its bad beat into a full jackpot, with a minimum hand of quad 10s or better, and a lower jackpot (quad deuces to quad nines) at about 25 percent of the total jackpot. Of course, bad-beat jackpots can disappear in an instant, or on one lucky hand. Thankfully, the Borgata also has its Winter Open, which starts Jan. 19 and is the next big event in the city. The open starts off with a two-day, $500 + $60, Deepstack No Limit tournament with two re-entries on Jan. 19. Last year’s Winter Open drew more than 1,500 playJoin us on Facebook:

ers to the opening event, so it should be a pretty busy Wednesday at the casino. Some other highlights of the 26-event open include Event 6, a $1,000 + $90 No Limit tournament on Jan. 22; Event 12, a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, $170 + 30 No Limit tournament on Jan. 25 (played over three days); Event 18, a $1,850 + $150 No Limit tournament Jan. 28, and Event 20, a No Limit Hold’em 6-max tourney with a $1,000 + 90 buy-in. The open’s usual heads-up championship starts Jan. 25 ($2,000 + $150). You can get the full schedule at AC Weekly’s poker blog “The Real Deal� (acweekly.com/poker). Of course the main event, the Winter Open Championship, will be played starting Jan. 30. The $2 million guaranteed jackpot event carries a $3,300 + $200 buy-in. Last year’s championship was won by pro Jeff Madsen, who took home $625,000. The championship drew 766 players and easily topped the $2 million guarantee with a prize pool of $2.45 million. And that all happened as the casino was battling frigid weather and a water-main break that knocked out the casino’s hot water. After the winter open, there’s a lull through February before the next World Series of Poker circuit events get underway at Caesars in March. Thanks to a restructuring of WSOP circuit events, the Caesars event won’t carry the same level of main event action it had last year. In 2010, the main event at the circuit stop was a $4,900 event won by pro Roland Isra. Despite the high buy-in, miserable latewinter weather hurt the event and only an $817,000 prize pool was reached. This year, the main event for the circuit is a $1,500 + $150 No limit Tournament set for March 11. That’s now the uniform main event figure for all circuit events, excluding $10,000 regional championships that pop up occasionally. While Harrah’s Resort had a regional championship at its circuit events last month (won by pro Chris Bell) the Caesars circuit event does not. Still, the early schedule for the Caesars circuit shows 10 “ring� events, and the usual qualifiers for the WSOP Circuit National Championship held in Vegas in May. So at least at Atlantic City poker tables, winter isn’t completely barren. N

WHITNEY’S RADAR

New Year Means ... By Whitney Ullman

W

ELCOME TO 2011! I’LL BET you can’t believe how fast the years go by, right? This is crazy — I mean, we know it’s coming, but upon its arrival we tend to put pressure on ourselves to set goals for the upcoming year, especially goals that we did not get to accomplish in previous years. And, of course, we party like rock stars to celebrate the New Year. We can view the year ahead as something to look forward to, or we can sulk in our sorrows about what we haven’t accomplished yet. The late columnist/ author Bill Vaughan had a saying: “An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”

“I think it’s a great time to start something new. Diets, exercise, quit smoking, new job and all the other obvious ones. There’s a sense of comfort for me knowing my slate is cleared and a fresh start has begun. Personally I’m taking with me what I learned, went through and don’t want to repeat into the New Year, and the rest can stay in 2010.” — Jen Chambers “This is a time when many people are thinking of something new or a new beginning. If we aren’t where we thought we’d be from a year ago, or even five years ago, we should consider making a change in our course, make a change in what we do because what we did didn’t produce desired results, and draw on the talents of others because there is strength in numbers. You don’t have to be great to start but you do have to start to be great.” — Michael

Keepin’ it Kosher

The Benshitrit family has operated a kosher restaurant in Ventnor beloved by many cultures for 15 years. By Frank Gabriel

C

ALL JACOB BENSHITRIT, OF VENTNOR’S Jerusalem Glatt Kosher eatery, the “Accidental Restauranteur.� Although possessing an extensive culinary legacy in his native Israel, the deeply thoughtful Benshitrit never actually planned to open a business in the Atlantic City area. In fact, upon arrival in November 1985, he only expected to briefly pass through New Jersey en route to a family holiday in Florida. Driving on the White Horse Pike, he, his wife Susan, their children and sister-in-law, were involved in a very serious car accident, which sent five members to three different hospitals in the region. Stuck here for an extensive amount of time while they recovered, Jacob found work at Atlantic City’s renowned Kosher hotel, the International (point worth noting: that facility eventually became half of today’s Chelsea Hotel, and contained the original Teplitzky’s restaurant). Employed in a family business catering food to IBM and Elgin factories, and shipping operations in Haifa, Jacob also worked as a stockbroker in Israel. In 2011, he’s a successful restauranteur with an admirable track record of more than 15 years spent running Ventnor Avenue’s Jerusalem. His extended family, including children Simone, 36, Liat, 33, Avi, 29, and David, 19, all toil alongside their parents. With a broad smile and arms extended wide, as if in an embrace, Jacob tells us: “Everyone works here.� One can’t help but be reminded of John Lennon’s pearl of wisdom, “Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans.� Describing the spotless white restaurant as “Mediterranean/ European� in concept, he continues, “We are here to please people with experience and quality.� Asked about the distinction of “Glatt� kosher, an explanation is offered in detail, “We have a process, it is not enough just eating a Kosher animal. We check to make sure that it is healthy, outside and in. It is the highest level

‘You don’t have to be a Jew to come and enjoy. We offer a different culture and food — it’s open for everybody.’ of Kosher inspection.� Illustrating, he adds that from several hundred veal calves “you’re lucky� if 10 to 15 percent will pass a stringent Glatt inspection. All meats that do pass are additionally treated to a one-hour, in-house preparation with coarse Kosher salt to further safeguard their cleanliness. Taking over the facility in June 1996, he and his relations now offer food that, according to Jacob, “You don’t have to be a Jew to come and enjoy,� adding “We offer a different culture and food — it’s open for everybody.� That thinking seems to play well in this Downbeach neighborhood, where echoes of Latino, Asian and Russian voices could be easily heard through the still snow-sodden streets on a recent winter evening. Specific suggestions from the chef about his menu

include a cubed eggplant appetizer with red dressing that Jacob calls “North African/Moroccan in style.â€? Other favorites are traditional foods like Baba Ganoush and felafel, the latter being delightful fried chick pea balls served in a pita, considered to be the unofficial national snack of Israel. Entree choices include veal chops, rib-eye steak, beef and chicken shish kabobs, chicken schnitzel, teriyaki salmon and roasted sweet and sour chicken with pineapple. Two other particulars considered notable by the owner are schwarma — a gyro-style blend of spit-roasted lamb and chicken — and the bushette puff pastry with mushrooms and gravy. Soups are another standard element of Jerusalem’s repertoire. Along with classic matzo ball, other daily blends one might try are lentil, split pea, barley, cream of vegetable and a creamy sweet potato/butternut squash offered in colder weather. For those of you suffering with the mistaken impression that kosher cuisine translates to no sweet treats, an enormous, eye-catching refrigerated display case near the rear of the facility will easily dispel that notion. Contained herein are Susan’s wide and disparate collection of extraordinary desserts, all made personally. On the night of our visit, these included red velvet cake, pecan pie, peanut butter pie, chocolate mousse, tiramisu, carrot cake, apple pie and a unique cheesecake composed of a sour cream and cream cheese mix. The restaurant’s solid reputation has even drawn the attention of local casinos with customers requesting Glatt fare, and according to Jacob, “We deal with all of [the casinos].â€? Sagacious in perspective, he advises, “The secret of life is when you see someone in old age, ask them to ‘tip’ you — not with money, but with their wisdom from life’s experience.â€? Felafel with a side order of philosophy, served up daily in Ventnor. ĂŠN E-mail Frank Gabriel at fgabriel@acweekly.com

ONVENTION CITY, A 1933 FEATURE film that pushed the boundaries of its time with its sexual overtones and humor, also served as an advertisement for Atlantic City with its footage of the Boardwalk, beaches and other attractions. More than three-quarters of a century later, the cinematic comedy has turned into a real-life mystery as all prints of the film have disappeared, making it a hot item among film buffs hoping a copy will surface. Director Archie Mayo had a reputation for comedy and would one day direct the Marx Brothers in A Night in Casablanca. He would also be behind the camera for Humphrey Bogart’s breakthrough role as Duke Mantee in The Petrified Forest. In Convention City, Mayo oversaw a talented cast that included such stars as Dick Powell, Oscar nominees Adolphe Menjou and Joan Blondell, and future Oscar winner Mary Astor. While principal footage with the actors was shot at a studio in California, another film crew traveled to Atlantic City to capture the local flavor of the resort. The movie focuses on a convention of sales representatives for the fictional Honeywell Rubber Company and their annual gathering at an Atlantic City hotel. It

was a convention where pleasure came before business. The poster for the movie boasted of “traveling salesmen on the make, farmers’ daughters on the jump and jealous wives on the trail.” One plot line dealt with Menjou’s character, Ted, vying for the romantic attention of Claire (a 16-yearold Patricia Ellis), his boss’s teenage daughter, as a way of securing a promotion. Told she’s underage, Ted responds, “She’s old enough, almost. Anyhow, I remember the year she was born.” In under 70 minutes, film historian Ron Hutchinson wrote, “Convention City revels in drunkenness, brothel visits, Blondell’s ample cleavage, endless trysts and a salesman tempting a goat up to his hotel room.” In its review published in December 1933, The New York Times had mixed reactions. “Several of the jokes need a subterranean mind to be correctly understood. An accurate appraisal of Convention City should include the information that the Strand audience laughed long and loud.” The reviewer singled out Menjou’s performance for praise. “Mr. Menjou stands out like a diamond in a 10-cent store jewelry counter.” Made for an estimated $239,000, the film grossed about $522,000, a solid showing for the Great Depression.

Films like Convention City, with its adult themes and risque lines, led to the creation of the Production Code Administration, said Robert A. Emmons Jr., a professor at Rutgers-Camden and filmmaker. The PCA monitored films for content, serving as an unofficial censor. “With a uniformed and central office, the PCA would certify, or not, studio productions,” Emmons said. “When Warner Brothers tried to re-release an edited version of Convention City in 1936, it did not receive PCA approval. The history of Convention City is sketchy after this point. An ad for the film was found in a Madrid newspaper in August 1942 with the title Que Semana (The Weekend). Warner Brothers records indicate all negatives for the film were junked in December 1948. Blondell claimed she had a copy of the film that she would screen at parties for her guests. Film historians are perplexed at how more than 500 prints of a movie could all disappear without a trace. One critic observed that Convention City appears to be the most recent feature film from a major Hollywood studio that is totally lost. Posters and photographic stills from the move still exist. A reading of the script by professionals was held in New York City in 1995. More significantly, second-unit footage of the film shot in Atlantic City around 1933 was discovered in the mid-1990s. About 20 minutes of silent black-and-white footage shows the railroad station, beaches, Boardwalk and Steel Pier with an advertisement for actor/singer Rudy Vallee. Emmons was able to incorporate some of those scenes into De Luxe: The Tale of the Blue Comet, his documentary film about the luxury train that served Atlantic City between 1929 and 1941. “The footage I use in the film are on-location shots of the city and beach that would have been edited into Convention City to establish settings, scenes and locations. They operate more like documentary footage and less like dramatic,” Emmons said. “For my film, I probably was able to glean about two minutes worth from the Getty Archives,” he said. “It’s crisp, beautiful footage.” Convention City remains lost, a tantalizing piece of Hollywood history and a footnote in Atlantic City’s past. Only time will tell if the film has permanently faded to black. N

Langford: What About the Partnership Part, Guv? Atlantic City’s mayor advises Gov. Christie not to leave city officials out of the state’s plans for the resort; Christie sends staffers to Atlantic City Tuesday to ease Langford’s concerns. Watch video of the mayor’s press conference at acweekly.com

By Jeff Schwachter

A

ic boundaries, the policing of, and the part the CRDA will play in the proposed “Tourism District” for Atlantic City. Meanwhile, City Council was expected to vote Wednesday (Jan. 5) on a measure to voice its own opposition to the state’s plans for the “District” thus far, in a similar fashion to what the mayor did last Thursday — getting their voices of opposition on record. “Which happens to mirror mine,” adds Langford. Christie’s administration is reportedly hoping to negotiate on certain issues with the city by Thursday, Jan. 6, so that the state Assembly’s version of the bill can be amended in time for a full vote in the Assembly on Monday, Jan. 10. Reached by phone at his office Wednesday morning, the day after the governor’s staffers paid him a visit, Langford says he has always remained and still is optimistic, but that he knows he has to remain “vigilant.” Asked if he feels any different about the concerns he raised during last week’s press conference, Langford offers an emphatic: “No.” Asked if he feels the state-city partnership will be stronger following Tuesday’s meetings with Christie’s staffers, Langford says he’s optimistic, but that it “remains to be seen.” “You know, [the governor’s staffers] came down here [Tuesday] to find out what my opposition was and now they know. And so really there’s no need for any further discussion. The ball’s in their court and they need to do what they have to do to assuage my concerns.” At the press conference last Thursday, Langford expressed those concerns, again stressing the need for the state to consider the safety and well-being of the city’s residents and not just a quarantined district for tourists. “[A]ll of this stuff that has been sensational-

city’s planning and zoning function [instead of ceding it the state;] a new pilot program, “in lieu of the current property tax structure,” that would give special property tax consideration to the city’s casinos; the creation of a $1 casino/hotel room tax; and the policing of the proposed “District,” among other items. The mayor also expressed his hope that the city could regain control of Boardwalk Hall in order to make it less expensive to hold events there and to make the entity “more profitable.” With regard to the policing of the proposed “District,” Langford offered: “Any laid off Atlantic City Police Officer should be the first hired to police [it].” The mayor added that, moving forward, if anything related to Christie’s proposed state takeover plans are “fast tracked” without members of the municipal government involved, able to give input or simply be a part of the discussions, that the legality of such occurrences would be questioned and taken to court if necessary. “We are not sure if in fact some of things the state is proposing to do are legal,” Langford told a reporter. “Now whether it’s legal or not, if it makes sense to us, we’re prepared to embrace it. But conversely, if it doesn’t make sense to us and we feel that it’s illegal, we’re going to challenge it. And we’re looking to a federal jurisdiction to challenge the Constitutionality of some of what the state may be proposing to do.” Assemblyman Vince Polistina (R-Atlantic), along with members of Atlantic City’s City Council were present at the press conference. The mayor acknowledged Polistina and praised him for his work in the region. Polistina seemed to be in agreement with the mayor with regard to one of his concerns. “The process and how it was dealt with, clearly, from my standpoint, was not appropriate,” Polistina told reporters. “When you’re making a law, especially a law like this that’s going to have a significant impact on hundreds of thousands of people, you do your due diligence and make sure you bring everybody into the group, get their input, get some discussion, get some debate, and ultimately prepare something that everybody has built some consensus around. And that’s what they failed to do with this.” Democratic state Senator and former Atlantic City mayor Jim Whelan was quoted in the daily newspaper on Wednesday (Jan. 5) as saying that the process since July 2010 has been far from perfect. Time will tell what happens over the next week or so with regard to the “Tourism District.” Until then, the clock keeps ticking toward July. n

Does the mayor feel any different about his concerns after Tuesday’s meeting with state officials? ‘No.’

ized in the media — the shootings, the violent crimes, all of that stuff — over the course of the last six months particularly, has happened in a 1.8 square-mile area,” the mayor told Atlantic City Weekly in late November. “Not on the Boardwalk. So I get offended when the governor and others advocate that we need an increased police presence on the Boardwalk to create the ‘perception’ that the city is safe, because the reality is that the Boardwalk is safe. But even to address just the ‘perception’ [of the city’s tourists] they advocate more resources. What about the neighborhoods where it’s not a perception, it’s the reality? The shootings that take place in the city don’t take place on the Boardwalk. So who gives a damn about the residents? You see? It’s offensive. And, again, I’m in agreement with the governor; let’s assign more resources on the Boardwalk, but goddammit at the same time, let’s talk about the neighborhoods.” The majority of Atlantic City residents are black, noted the mayor at the press conference, and most of the tourists happen to be white, he said. Langford essentially asked the question: Why does the Boardwalk need more police presence when the majority of the crime in the city takes place in other parts of the resort’s neighborhoods? At the Dec. 30 press conference, which led to some scattered responses from state legislators regarding mainly the timing of the mayor’s remarks, Langford announced several city-created objectives, which could dovetail with the state plan for the city. That’s as long as the two entities work together and communicate better moving forward, according to the mayor. In July 2010, Christie came to Atlantic City and proposed a state takeover of a vague “tourism and entertainment district” in Atlantic City and gave the city, as well as state lawmakers, a year to make significant changes to the resort. However, the mayor says, since July, the “bills and legislation affecting Atlantic City and the creation of a ‘Tourism District,’ have been fast tracked.” Conversely, says the mayor, the city has been “left out the loop.” Along with offering several city initiatives, Langford told the media: “As mayor of Atlantic City, I will not allow any person or entity to come into this town and ride roughshod over us in an attempt to force their agenda down our throat. A [state-city] partnership [which Christie promised in July] is one thing — a good thing — but a partnership requires input; especially from those of us who live and pay taxes [in Atlantic City].” Mayor Langford’s proposed measures include creating “geographical boundaries” of the proposed tourism district, maintaining the

S ANTICIPATED, ATLANTIC CITY Mayor Lorenzo Langford (D) held a rescheduled press conference at City Hall Thursday morning, Dec. 30, right before the New Year holiday weekend, in order to voice his objections and concerns regarding the state’s plans for the city’s proposed “Tourism District.” According to Langford, he and members of Atlantic City City Council have been discussing the proposed “Tourism District” and have “some very strong opinions on what should and what shouldn’t, what must and what cannot take place here in the city of Atlantic City,” according to the mayor. Langford opened the press conference by saying he wanted to let the media and the residents of the resort know about the issues that he and members of City Council have problems with in terms of the state’s plan to take over aspects of Atlantic City, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority’s (CRDA) role in the proposed “Tourism District,” and initiatives that he and other Atlantic City officials hope to put into action as a part of any future measures to transform a section of Atlantic City into a “Tourism District,” as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) proposed in July in front of Boardwalk Hall. Langford, who on Nov. 29, 2010, told Atlantic City Weekly that communication between his office and Christie’s was nearly non-existent, and that he felt the governor hadn’t kept his promise to keep the city involved in any future plans regarding Atlantic City, insists that the state has not held up its part of the bargain in incorporating the city in discussions for Christie’s proposed district. While fielding questions from the media gathered for the press conference, Langford noted that he had spoken to Christie’s chief of staff the night prior — Wednesday night, Dec. 29 — via a phone call that the mayor took at his home. The two had a “very cordial conversation,” according to Langford. “It was an honest conversation. I’m optimistic.” Key staff members from the governor’s office, including Christie’s chief of staff, came to Atlantic City this past Tuesday, Jan. 4, in response to Langford’s press conference remarks. Gov. Christie reportedly sent the staffers to the resort to calm the mayor’s fears regarding Atlantic City being shut out of the state’s plans for the resort. Christie also made statements on Tuesday to the effect that he is optimistic that negotiations this week between Democrats and Republicans in the state will alleviate some of the mayor’s concerns regarding the geograph-

And now, I think we have some strong theater. “But I think realistically, it happened at a time when 60 percent of all the can think back to a time in the early reasons that it will finally succeed.”

’90s, when the redevelopment of Ducktown, that central neighborhood of Atlantic City traditionally thought of as Texas to Missouri avenues, from the bay to Atlantic Avenue, seemed to be on the front burner. Neighborhood leaders such as himself and other Ducktown business owners, plus officials from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) even met with the mayor of Hartford, Conn., to discuss how that city had transformed one of its most blighted sections into a thriving arts colony. But while the CRDA has been busily, if slowly, transforming and revitalizing parts of Atlantic City since then — including the development of the very successful The Walk retail outlet stores, which borders and now includes some of the traditional Ducktown area — Ducktown’s arts district never materialized. Now, a decade and a half later, the idea is back. The CRDA last month authorized $70,000 for an initial study to create a “neighborhood strategy area” — designed to outline a plan to transform Atlantic City neighborhoods into an arts district and others into medical and education districts. The CRDA could begin land acquisition in the area as early as February. The CRDA study area actually runs from Florida to South Carolina avenues, from the Boardwalk to Baltic Avenue. But its center would be Mississippi Avenue, right in the heart of Ducktown. And that means Ducktown’s potential redevelopment is back in the news. “My initial reaction is that it’s fantastic,” says Formica, now an Atlantic County Freeholder. “All of us that have been involved with Ducktown’s development

And that hope comes from how much more there is to start with than there has been in the past. The CRDA study will be buoyed by how much has already been put in place since the 1990s. “I think one of the main things we have going for us is Dante Hall, says Formica. “That is just a beautiful facility. It has this beautiful architecture and it’s just the prefect type of venue for the area.” The Dante Hall Performing Arts Center was refurbished with a $3.5 million renovation funded by the CRDA seven years ago. Since then, Dante Hall presented shows and performances to local audiences, but eventually, unable to draw large enough crowds, went dark in 2009. When that happened, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey stepped in and entered into negotiations with St. Michael’s R.C. parish to takeover the venue. Those negotiations are still progressing, but officials say a final deal is very close. “The negotiations have been progressing over a long period,” says Tim Kelly, spokesman for the college. “But it does look like we’re very close to a favorable outcome. We’re very excited by the prospect. It’s a beautiful space and we think it will be a great piece of our presence in the arts in the community.” With Stockton, Dante Hall would become part of the successful entertainment programs the college currently runs at its own Performing Arts Center in Galloway Twp. and its successful Music Pier series summer in Ocean City. The college also operates the Noyes Museum in Galloway and its own main campus art gallery. Formica thinks Stockton can make Dante Hall thrive. “Dante Hall did have its problems,” says

theaters and arts center in New Jersey were having problems. And I’ve always felt that it was hurt by the absence of parking in the area and also, that absence of a thriving business district around it. That’s what is being addressed now.” A revitalized Dante Hall is one component, but the really big player is Boardwalk Hall. Again, it’s a facility that has seen an extensive renovation (a $90 million renovation started in 1998) since talk first began of an arts colony in Ducktown. Little needs to be fixed at Boardwalk Hall now as the venue was again ranked as one of the top mid-sized arenas in the country this year. But other CRDA funded projects have also upped the ante. Midtown Atlantic City is now identified with Atlantic City Outlets stores The Walk, one of the most successful commercial projects the city has seen in decades. The project is currently undergoing its third expansion and construction has just begun on a $38.4 million, 1,200 space parking garage at Fairmount and Mississippi Aves, scheduled to take 14 months to complete. With these pieces already in place, the CRDA study will concentrate on creating neighborhoods for both artists and students attending facilities from Atlantic Cape Community College and Stockton, which both already have a presence in the city north of Ducktown. The CRDA hopes to transform existing buildings into housing for artists, as well as students and workers in the medical and hospitality industries. A study already done for CRDA by Artspace USA, a Minneapolis based firm, has found that enough artists live in the region to support studios and art galleries in a new arts district. That’s echoed by local art teacher Susan

Rau, an art teacher with the Ocean City Arts League and an art gallery owner in Millville, which is also trying to create an arts district. “I can tell you that there are a lot of artists who live in South Jersey,” she says. “It’s a very active community. I don’t know a lot about what is being planned for Atlantic City, but I do know that when we have Boardwalk art shows in Ocean City, artists come from all over the region.” The tourist attraction of an art colony also enters into the picture, as regular visitors to the city could easily up the visibility for gallery owners and artists. But a significant part of the CRDA plan also focuses on education. Again, pieces of that puzzle are already in place. For example, Atlantic Cape Community College has its Charles D. Worthington Atlantic City Campus on Bacharach Boulevard. The campus is already funded for a $10 million expansion to include a new Hospitality Studies Center and also health-care professional and job training programs. Half the funding is coming from CRDA and half from Atlantic County. The expansion is part of a commitment by the college to bring job-training programs directly to the markets where they are needed, says college president Peter Mora. “We have a long-standing history in Atlantic City,” says Mora. “We’ve been in the city since 1982. I testified in favor of this study and I feel the education community should support it. It’s one of the most visionary programs The CRDA has ever had.” Programs for the Hospitality center would include, for example, training for line cooks and other restaurant jobs not currently taught at ACCC’s Academy of Culinary Arts on its Mays Landing campus. Meanwhile, Stockton already runs programs and classes at its Carnegie Library Center on Martin Luther King Boulevard. While Stockton officials have not announced any expansion plans, it’s certain the school would be involved with the district, especially if the college runs Dante Hall. And, of course, the AtlanticCare Regional Medical Center, Atlantic City Campus, would also be in the district. For Formica and other Ducktown merchants, the CRDA focus means it’s time to start thinking about what’s left to do in Ducktown, and for that matter midtown Atlantic City. Formica says plans are already underway to open an authentic Italian market in the heart of the Mississippi Avenue corridor. And the CRDA is also funding a $500,000 project to light up Boardwalk Hall’s famous dome. And all of it can only help the city, both from a tourist’s and resident’s point of view. “Atlantic City has always been based on tourism,” says Formica. “But this plan could re-enliven the whole city.” n

Lucky No. 1 at Resorts

While transforming itself into a Roaring ’20s themed property, Atlantic City’s first casino kicks off the New Year with a day of specials on 1-11-11. By Lori Hoffman

R

ESORTS, THE FIRST CASINO TO OPEN in Atlantic City, has been one of the hardest hit by the recession the last few years. The casino’s financial woes have been well documented, so it was great news when Dennis Gomes, who formerly headed the Tropicana and Trump Taj Mahal, purchased the property. The revitalization of Resorts includes the casino’s new 1920s theme in tribute to the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. Now the casino has announced a special promotion to take place on 1-11-2011 that in many instances is bringing back 1920s prices. In keeping with the 1-11-11 theme, Resorts is offering 11 specials. The most amazing price breaks announced as part of the promotion are the 11 hotel rooms that are being offered for $1.11. Parking will also be $1.11 that day and various Resorts restaurants will be joining the fun with $11.11 meal deals. Courtney Birmingham, Resorts’ new director of advertising and public relations, came up with the idea. Explains Birmingham, “It’s a great number. Who doesn’t want to be No. 1? When I saw the day on the calendar I approached some of my colleagues and said, ‘What can we do here?’ and we put together different 1-1-11 events and ideas, 11 different specials for the day, everything from parking to our restaurants and room deals. Everyone jumped on board.� Birmingham adds that the $1.11 rooms have already been booked and that there has been a great response to the promotion. Hotel rates and packages, casino promotions, dining featuring an overnight stay on January 11, 2011, a specials, salon specials and more will be offered at the food and beverage credit of $60, access to the pool and one-derful prices listed below: IFBMUI DMVC BOE MBUF DIFDL PVU BU QN $BMM t SPPNT XJMM CF PGGFSFE BU DBMM 9000 and mention “Lucky One� to book. 9000 and mention “One� to book. t #SFBETUJDLT XJMM PGGFS B NFBM GFBUVSJOH B t " TQFDJBM /VNCFS 0OF SPPN QBDLBHF GPS bowl of soup and corned beef special with Swiss

Club members must be actively playing with their club card to qualify and will have 15 minutes to claim their prize. With these prices, Resorts will make visitors feel like the Roaring Twenties are back. Birmingham also says that the new team at Resorts is working hard to complete the transformation to the 1920s theme at the historic casino. The casino’s updated web site, for example, presents a delightful visual and musical tribute to the Roaring Twenties theme. “Everything has been such a whirlwind,� says Birmingham. “We haven’t even been on property for a full month yet. Everything has been going gung ho. We’re working hard to get everything pulled together.� N

Punch-Drunk Love

Micky Ward’s Atlantic City Connection

‘The Fighter,’ based on the life of fighter Micky Ward, is a true knockout. By Lori Hoffman

B

oxing fans that have spent time in Atlantic City know Micky Ward as one of the toughest fighters to ever mix it up in the ring, including three legendary battles with the late Arturo Gatti. The Fighter, directed by David O. Russell (Three Kings) and starring Mark Wahlberg as Ward and Christian Bale as Dicky Eklund, Ward’s half-brother and trainer, takes a long, fascinating look at Ward’s life outside the ring as well as inside it. Movie critic shorthand would be to say that this story, about a fighter whose family is too involved in his life and career, is a real life Rocky. When we first meet Ward, in his tight knit working class town of Lowell, Mass., his boxing career is taking a nosedive. With his mother (Melissa Leo) as his manager, and the older brother he idolized spending more time at the local crack house than the gym training him, Ward has been set up for failure in the ring. With his mom, brother and seven busybody sisters telling him what he should do, the man who has to take the punches

ring and in life. Director Russell and his superb cast manage to bob and weave around the genre’s clichés to make the story resonate beyond the standard confines of the genre. Bale is fascinating as a drug addict who is more aware than most of what he has lost and what he might gain if he gets off the pipe for good. Melissa Leo, as the stage mother who directs Micky’s life without any input from him, takes this showy role and chews through the scenery like a beaver on crack — but in a good way. Wahlberg is the generous man in the middle. His calm is the nice contrast to the insanity generated by his family. Too doesn’t have much say in his career. It would be too easy to call this a dys- often the quiet acting doesn’t get the functional family. A better description recognition it deserves, but without his would be a family that lives life at the top contribution, Bale and Leo, both pegged of their lungs, with Micky as the quiet as surefire Oscar nominees, would not shine nearly as brightly. one in the middle. The Fighter wins the heart of the audiWard doesn’t seem to have a chance, but the love of a good woman (played ence with a unanimous decision. n by Amy Adams) and the advice of his mentor outside the family ring — Mickey O’Keefe, a Lowell cop who plays himself To read more about movies and other in the movie — give him a clear view of a topics covered by movie critic Lori Hoffman successful future. visit the ‘Atlantic City Central’ blog at The film follows the standard arc of a http://blog.acweekly.com/ boxing picture; the ups and downs followed by the moment of triumph in the harry potter and the deathly hallows (PG13) 11*, 5 yogi bear (PG) 11*, 5 tron: legacy (PG) 3:30, 6:30, 9:30 how do you know (PG13) 12*, 5, 10 Burlesque (PG13) 2:30, 7:30
