Excerpts from inside this issue & online at acweekly.com “This could be the best Mardi Gras celebration ever in this county by the time we get done with this.” — See p. 41 “Man, it’s really hard to describe. Just about every emotion you can imagine, you go through them on a daily basis.” — See p. 41 “Already well into his 70s — and performing a second show on a Saturday night — Sinatra hit one out of the park. Maybe it was the Jack Daniels he fortified himself with between shows, but he performed like a man musically possessed.” — See p. 13 “Dispensing with the formalites outlined above, let’s talk about the real important stuff: food.” — See p. 31 “Every woman I know has a secret desire to learn how to do their makeup properly.

W

ITH NO EQUIVOCATION, NEW JERSEY Senate President Stephen Sweeney said that as long as he is the president there will be no Video Lottery Terminal (VLT) bill introduced in the Senate. This comes on the back of Sen. Jim Whelan’s letter to Gov. Chris Christie saying he will not allow a VLT bill to be introduced into the state government, Gaming and Tourism Committee he chairs.

Sweeney made his proclamation at a recent meeting of the Atlantic City Regional Chamber of Commerce (ACRCC). Whelan wrote his letter the day after Christie reneged on his promise to not allow VLTs anywhere in the state.

At the ACRCC meeting, Sweeney unequivocally let it be known that he will do all in his power to aid and assist in revitalizing Atlantic City and its environs. He said there needs to be changes in casino legislation that has become outdated. To me, the second most important statement he made was when he stated that Atlantic City International Airport (ACIA) is a tremendous asset to southern New Jersey and there needs to be more airlines using the facility. Sweeney said he brought other legislators to the airport and noted to them that you can put Newark Airport, LaGuardia Airport and possibly another on the vast area of land that is available at ACIA. Just a few days after Sweeney’s remarks, Christie said that he would favor putting the ACIA under the control of the New Jersey/New York Port Authority.

Although I believe that the South Jersey Transportation Authority has done an excellent job of promoting the airport and getting additional airlines to use it as a base, this concept might help steer additional flights from Newark and LaGuardia to ACIA. On a recent Wednesday afternoon, both Sweeney and Whelan appeared on my radio show. Sweeney reiterated his comments at the Chamber meeting and then answered questions from the public. Many of the questions dealt with the Revel Casino project. Sweeney said that he and Sen. Raymond Lesniak are the sponsors of a bill that will create a Tax Increment Financing Program that will make funds available for construction or development of projects throughout the state. The Revel complex fits the qualifications for some $300 million to aid in the completion of their venue. They believe, as I do, that Atlantic City direly needs a new property at this time and they said they would do all they could to aid and assist in its completion.

For your information, elected officials have established regular visits to my radio show. The following are the dates and times for their scheduled appearances: Assemblyman Vince Polistina appears at 4pm the first Tuesday of each month; A.C. Mayor Lorenzo Langford or one of his cabinet members will appear at 5pm the first Wednesday of each month; Assemblyman John Amodeo appears at 4pm on the third Tuesday of the month; Sen. Whelan appears at 5pm on the third Wednesday of each month; and Sen. Jeff Van Drew Join us on Facebook:

appears at 5pm on the fourth Tuesday of the month.

There is no set date yet for Sen. Sweeney or County Executive Dennis Levinson, but we plan to have them on. The appearances of these legislators give you an opportunity to pose questions that you have about governmental affairs. I urge you to participate. People complain they can’t get to their elected officials. Pinky’s Corner is one place they will appear on a regular basis to respond to your questions.

ACRCC Advocates Change

At the ACRCC’s recent meeting, board chairman Ken Calemo stated that they are committed to increasing investment and employment opportunities in Atlantic County, working with Atlantic City and correcting the problems in relation to the recent audit and remaining committed to the Revel project completion. The group is also committed to lending their unqualified support of appropriate incentives, such as tax increment financing and support of the NextGen Aviation Research and Development Park, ensuring a fair and consistent regulatory environment, and encouraging further growth and investment in Atlantic City and the region. They also plan to work with public and private sectors to support more events in the city — events that will appeal to visitors and residents alike.

I congratulate the ACRCC for taking these advocacy positions. They will serve to enhance not only Atlantic City, but all of southern New Jersey. n

ACWC Hosts ‘Vagina Monologues’

The Atlantic County Women’s Center (ACWC) will be hosting a benefit production of Eve Ensler’s award-winning play The Vagina Monologues in the Palace Theatre at Bally’s Claridge Casino Hotel on Friday, Feb. 26, at 8pm. The benefit will raise money for “V-Day� — a global movement to raise awareness and end violence against women and girls. “Every monologue somehow relates to the vagina, be it through sex, love, rape, menstruation, mutilation, masturbation, birth, orgasm, the variety of names for the vagina, or simply as a physical aspect of the body,� says Ellen Brophy, ACWC’s assistant public relations director. “A recurring theme throughout the piece is the vagina as a tool of female empowerment, and the ultimate embodiment of individuality. Ensler wrote the piece to ‘celebrate the vagina.’ Ensler states that the purpose of the piece changed from a celebration of vaginas and femininity to a movement to stop violence against women. Every year a new monologue is added to highlight a current issue affecting women around the world. The monologue is performed at thousands of local V-Day benefit productions of the play that take place annually in February and March, raising funds for local groups, shelters, [and] crisis centers working to end violence against women.� All proceeds from the V-Day event will benefit the ACWC — a non-profit agency whose mission is to empower women by working to secure their safety, emotional well-being, individual freedom and economic equality. Tickets are $35. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call 601-9925, ext. 209 or visit online at ACWC.org. — Kelley Anne Essinger

There’s always a simple way of telling if you are in a “friendly� game of poker, or if you’ve found yourself in a cutthroat game. It’s when you’re not sure what you have after all the cards are dealt. Cutthroat — you’re on your own. In a friendly game, you’ll get a little help reading your cards. So if you’re a beginner and know you want a friendly game, then the Atlantic Riding Center for the Handicapped (ARCH) will be hosting a Texas Hold ‘em Poker Tournament Friday (Feb. 26) at 7pm at the E.H.T. Elks Lodge. The charity tournament is as friendly as it gets. “You don’t have to be a good player,� says Sue Adams, executive director of ARCH. “You just have to love the challenge of the tournament and want to compete for a good cause. The dealers will help you out whenever you need it.� The center is offering the tournament for the fourth year and expects between 100-150 players to turn out. First prize is a $500 gift card, 2nd prize $300 gift card, 3rd and 4th prizes are $100 gift cards. Registration is $60 at the door. All proceeds will benefit the center’s equine therapy program, which uses horseback riding to rehabilitate children and adults with disabilities. For more information about ARCH’s mission, and for more ways to donate, visit arch206.org. — Mike Pritchard

HERE’S A SAVVINESS AND veteran quality that brings out Melissa Marshall’s versatile vocal talent and amiable personality. It’s evident in the playful banter she intersperses into her performances, and the skill with which she sizes up those attending the shows she and keyboardist/vocalist Mike Petiani put on every Thursday evening at Tropicana’s Tango Lounge.

“It worked!” she jokes when a lounge patron just happens to stand up after her rendition of Gloria Estefan’s “Get On Your Feet.” And following Petiani’s cool interpretation of Sinatra’s “Summer Wind” she quips, “Around here they call ’em nor’easters.”

Marshall is originally from hurricane country, Miami, and the daughter of a South Florida entertainment director who routinely conducted orchestras for many of the biggest names in show business from the late 1950s through the early ’70s.

At the recommendation of her agent, she migrated to this area about 23 years ago and was part of a select society of entertainers who worked the casino circuit before the arrival of 24-hour gambling.

Like Petiani (a Cape May native whose former band Then & Now was a mainstay on the South Jersey club scene), Marshall has remained an integral part of the landscape ever since. But you might say her show business start was a little slow to develop.

“I was actually very, very shy growing up,” says Marshall, who was voted the 2010 Atlantic City Weekly Reader’s Choice Nightlife Awards recipient for Best Lounge Act. “It really wasn’t until I was maybe about 19 or 20 that I said, ‘OK, this is what I want to do.’ I was really on the fence up till then. My father [Jerry Marshall] had me in the recording studio at age 10 or 11, but I found it very grueling and stopped, and did not pick it back up again until years later.”

Early in her adult life she had aspirations of either becoming a psychiatrist or entering the field of advertising, but the bug to perform bit her following a dare from a friend.

“I failed a dare, and [as a consequence] had to sing in a dining room,” she says.

“It finally just came out of me and I’ve been singing ever since.”

Marshall began singing in bands before seizing the leadership role and assembling

her own seven-piece band that toured a sizable stretch of the country. She abandoned the rigors of the road in the mid-1980s to settle into the A.C. club and casino scene.

“I consider myself an independent contractor, but when I’m performing at a casino I’m that casino’s employee,” she says. “I represent them and I have to represent them in a very good manner. I have to make the people who come here feel welcome, I want them to enjoy themselves, I want them to come back and I want them to remember me. Let’s face it, they don’t have to be here and drinks can be a little pricey in casino lounges, so if you can get them to sit down and stay awhile, you’re doing your job.”

Their act drew a sizeable showing on a recent Thursday evening (5-7:40pm) at Tango’s — an open-air lounge that sort of serves as the Trop’s gateway to The Quarter — including many who took in the show from the courtyard. Marshall and Petiani never work off a pre-conceived set list, but try to assess what the audience might be in the mood to hear.

“The main thing that I try to accomplish, and that I’ve tried to accomplish my whole entire career, is being able to accommodate every type of music and do it as well as I can to every age bracket,” she says. “You’ve got every [adult] age bracket in here, and you’ve got to be able to keep the interest of people in their 20s through their 90s, sometimes all at one time. You’ve also got to become very good at reading what it is they want to hear, taking them from one point to another, and melding it all together so that they enjoy themselves.” n see more online @

— Sinatra hit one out of the park. Maybe it was the Jack Daniels he fortified himself with between shows, but he performed like a man musically possessed.

He sounded 20 years younger as he breezed easily through his standards and signature saloon tunes and ballads, and those old blue eyes danced and sparkled at the sound of the 42-piece orchestra behind him.

His song selection was perfect and his adlib patter between songs with the audience and the band was lively and funny.

And just when it seemed he had nothing left in the tank, he reached down deep and performed the most challenging song in his repertoire: the eight-minute “Soliloquy” from the Broadway musical Carousel, one of the most complex numbers ever written

by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Fast forward to 2002. It was former Beatle Paul McCartney’s first Atlantic City appearance since his old band performed a 35-minute set at Boardwalk Hall in 1964.

Sir Paul made up for lost time.

I don’t think there’s such a thing as a perfect show, but McCartney came damned closed. Even the pre-show was a theater piece in itself; a parade of characters through the audience and onto stage that can best be described as Fellini meets Sgt. Pepper.

During his two-hour set, McCartney — like Sinatra had done 14 years earlier — turned back the clock. He deftly mixed songs from his solo career with plenty of Beatles tunes, performed a few new numbers, paid tribute to his late mates John Lennon and George Harrison and gave each member of his amazing band a chance to stretch out individually.

And when he performed the Beatles’ songs, McCartney and his musicians turned into the world’s best Beatles cover band ever.

So that’s two of my favorite shows. What are yours? Drop me a line and tell me which shows have stood out for you over the years, and why. We’ll use some of your comments in a future column. Email me at dspatz@acweekly.com. n

F TER COVERING THE entertainment beat for 32 years, the one question I’m asked more than any other is: What’s the best show you ever saw?

I’ve heard it so many times over the years that I long ago developed a stock answer. I don’t mean it to sound smug or mildly sarcastic, so I have to be very careful how I actually say the words so people don’t read something into my words that isn’t there.

When someone says, “Spatzy, what’s the best show you ever saw?” I invariably answer, “I’ll let you know after I see it.”

Picking one show out of the more than 6,000 I’ve seen is, quite simply, an impossible job. What’s the barometer? What kind of measuring stick do we use? Do we go strictly by artistic merit, or does audience reaction count, too? And just how do you compare apples with oranges?

How do you measure performance artists like the Blue Man Group against, say, ’60s cosmic rockers The Moody Blues, or an Alice Cooper musical bloodfest versus the Twelve Girls Band from China.

And is it fair to say that Dane Cook’s rock ‘n’ roll-style comedy concert in a casino arena can be weighed the same as a Luciano Pavarotti recital in a 1,200-seat showroom?

Now, ask me if I’ve got any favorite shows — not best, but favorite — that have stuck in my mind over the past three decades. I can answer that one without hesitation — but with a qualification.

I’ve got a bunch of favorites, because so many genres of entertainment have been presented on the casino stages. So I’ve got a favorite pop show, favorite rock performance, favorite R&B, favorite country, favorite comedy ... you get the picture.

But if I had to single out two shows that stood out above the others, then Frank Sinatra and Paul McCartney top my list of favorite shows.

During the 13 years that he performed here during the casino era, I probably saw three dozen Sinatra shows. Some shows were classics, others were just so-so, especially during the last year or so of his performing career.

But one night in 1988, not long after the Golden Nugget became Bally’s Grand (now the Hilton), all the cosmic tumblers fell into place, and the old man performed one for the ages.

Already well into his 70s — and performing a second show on a Saturday night

ATHY LIEBERT IS A WSOP bracelet winner (a Hold’em shootout event in 2004) with more than $5 million in tournament winnings.

Nick Binger has 39 career cashes including a sixth place finish at the U.S. Poker Championship at the Taj Mahal last year. Nick Brancato, a Jersey City resident, and Rick Fuller have been quickly climbing up the poker pro rankings the last few years.

So, why the random poker pro information? Well, these four pros have something in common. They are all poker boot-camp instructors and they’re coming to the Tropicana in Atlantic City April 9-10.

The casino will host a World Poker Tour Boot Camp. The about $1,895 camp “will teach players of all skill ranges how to become a consistently winning player.

The pros will share their secrets of tournament play and help players learn to build a big stack, adjust play based on the rounds, learn to play based on their and their opponents stack size, use your table image to your advantage and not be fooled by your opponent and know how to get correct pot odds and keep your opponents from getting them.”

The camp includes breakfast and lunch each day, an eight-and-a-half-hour lecture with the four tour professionals, two and a half hours of lab instructions, a private tournament on Friday night where the winner will receive entrance into the Alumni World Poker Tour Boot Camp, and two hours of sit-n-go tournaments on Saturday.

To register for the camp go to wptbootcamp.com online or call 1-866WPT-BOOT. Tropicana Turf Club members can also win a spot in the boot camp by playing in the Poker Room.

For more information call 1-888-POKER AC, press #3, visit the Tropicana Poker room or online at tropicana.net. There is also a randomly selected drawing for one more spot.

Tropicana has also announced a series of $1,500 freeroll tournaments for its frequent players. Players with 120 hours of play will receive $10,000 in tournament chips and players with 150 qualified hours of play will receive a bonus $5,000 in tournament chip, totaling $15,000.

Players can also earn double hours

WHITNEY’S RADAR

Let’s Makeup

By Whitney Ullman

I

HOPE OUR READERS ENJOYED the dating advice in last week’s column.

I got feedback from readers, and some said that learning how to find a date and get a date aren’t as easy as it seems. Some of the comments left at acweekly.com included: “Dating advice? I don’t need advice, I need a man!” and ”Date? What’s that?”

Listen ladies, if you don’t put yourself out there then you are not going to find someone.

Think to yourself (and men you can do this as well; just switch around the man and woman) about the type of guy you would like to meet. What does he look like? What is his occupation? Where does he hang out? What activities does he like?

Then think about the various local places that your ideal person could be found.

That’s where you need to be. Is there an activity that you love? Well take a class, do something different with your time. See

where it takes you. You are only expanding your horizons and at the same time putting yourself out there to meet someone new.

In the meantime, you should also know how to properly prepare for a date. This can be a tedious task because, of course, we want to have a great outfit, accessories, makeup, etc. I could write pages on this and believe me I have a few great places that I want you to know about, but right now I am going to focus on preparing your look by starting with makeup.

There’s going to be a cosmetic education program coming up on March 7-8.

Ladies, you should check this out.

Motives by Loren Ridinger — remember the cosmetics line I wrote about around Christmas? — is going to be holding a training at the Clarion Hotel and Convention Center in Pleasantville with the national director of training for Motives by Loren Ridinger, Jodi Usher.

At the March 7 training, you will learn about cosmetic application and technique (9am-3pm). You will not only learn about the proper applications and techniques, but also new information regarding the cosmetic industry. The cost is $50. Then there will be a workshop called “Getting the Look,” (4-6:30pm, $15), a handson workshop to build confidence and improve your application skills. You will develop your technique and start to create your “perfect look.”

It’s going to be a long day, but it will be so much fun that I bet at the end you’ll be asking for more. Well, you’re in luck as there will be a second and different training the following day on Monday, March 8. You will start with a “Custom Cosmetics Training” (9am-3pm, $50). There you will have added hands-on experience with both custom minerals and custom blend liquid. I have the custom blend and it is fantastic.

Then from 4-6:30pm ($15) it’s “All about Eyes” where you can master the applications for each shape and color.

Every woman I know has a secret desire to learn how to do their makeup properly.

Join us on Facebook:

And who wouldn’t want to learn about the famous smoky-eye look or the barely-there natural look? This is your opportunity. I’ll be there. Just contact Usher at 214-2626 or e-mail her at jodiu@marketamerica.com for more info.

I am probably one of the most lowmaintenance girls when it comes to doing hair and makeup, but I have to say that this makeup is great for your skin and it can’t hurt to be educated, right? You never know when these techniques will come in handy. n

W HITNEY U LLMAN Dishing out advice on various topics to our readers on issues related to networking, dating, employment, news, events, shopping and much more. She is the current president of the Greater Atlantic City Jaycees and owner of My Jewels by Whitney.

Second Atlantic City

Restaurant Week returns Feb. 28 - March 6

By Frank Gabriel

P F E B R U A R Y 2 5 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

OISED TO CELEBRATE ITS second birthday, Atlantic City’s Restaurant Week — Sunday, Feb. 28 through Saturday, March 6 — has quickly matured into a precocious, hotly anticipated event.

Managed through the auspices of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority (ACCVA), participants run a wide gamut of cuisines, styles and price points. They also provide the dining public opportunities to sample both lunch and dinner at many regional establishments. The last element of the equation are manageable prix fixe charges: $15.10 lunches and $33.10 dinners.

Elaine Zamansky, media relations manager for the ACCVA, tells AC Weekly that the number of eateries involved has increased from 74 last year to 83 at press time this year.

“That speaks to how well it did last year and how many great restaurants we have

here,” says Zamansky.

The other most signifcant difference is public perception and recognition, according to the ACCVA. “More people are familiar with it and I hear a lot more buzz,” says Zamansky.

With a successful template in hand, this year’s program serves to showcase how far the local dining scene has progressed, even in the face of daunting economic conditions.

There’s even an exciting added feature for 2010, an already-completed contest where winners receive from among 14 separate culinary vacations/prizes.

Included are overnight accomodations at a variety of Atlantic City casinos, the Tuscany House Hotel at Renault Winery Resort, the Sugar Hill Inn in Mays Landing and the Colonial Inn Bed and Breakfast in Historic Smithville, plus meals at various participating restaurants.

This serves to remind that Atlantic

City’s Restaurant Week is in reality a county-wide promotion designed to attract new visitors during what is traditionally one of the slowest times of the year in the area for tourism.

Dispensing with the formalites outlined above, let’s talk about the real important stuff: food.

Virtually all of the area’s outstanding restaurant players are involved, and since costs are a level playing field, please allow us to offer a dozen samples of what’s being offered in Atlantic City — and right outside in Margate.

Angelo’s Fairmount Tavern: One of the final vestiges of the town’s pre-casino era, this unique trattoria functions as a living monument to the Italian-American section called Ducktown. For newcomers, Angelo’s, like the nearby White House Sub Shop, provides a microcosm of everything that makes Atlantic City grand.

Capriccio (Resorts): The longest-ten-

ured casino dining operation in town, and with good reason. Start with an airy, retro-chic space. Classic regional Italian fare featured includes ravioli with four cheeses and truffle cream or pollo Milanese, breaded chicken breast with roasted peppers, lemon and yellow salad.

Chelsea Prime (The Chelsea): As detailed recently in this space (1/28/10 issue), the monochromatic oceanfronting marvel is a strong contender for A.C.’s top restaurant. Chef Jason Hanin isn’t skimping on budget for Restaurant Week. Check out his Maine Diver scallop app with maple pork belly, hickory smoked caviar and truffled leeks or the 12-ounce Kansas City strip plated alongside whipped potatoes and haricots vert.

The Continental (The Pier Shops at Caesars): In our opinion, the better of Starr’s two local restaurants. A “global tapas” menu encourages sharing, and their bill of fare for the week is detailed see more online @

and thoughtful. A quartet of entrees will be available each day, including one to-be-announced addition, dubbed the Continental Quickie. Catching our eye were Tuesday’s Mahi Mahi taco, plantain crust and avocado or Thursday’s King crab dumplings with sweet ponzu and Chinese mustard. No matter what, do not skip the addictive, shoestring fries as a starter.

Dock’s Oyster House: What Angelo’s is to southern Italian cuisine locally, Dock’s is to the fruits of the sea. The Dougherty family, which also operates the Knife and Fork, have spent 110 years perfecting this Atlantic Avenue landmark. Weekly menu offerings include two classic shore chowders, Maine clam or corn and crab with roasted jalapeno cream. You can’t go wrong with their namesake either, a panko crusted Chesepeake oyster entrée.

Manna (Margate): Owned and operated by chef John Merlino and wife Victoria, Manna is a creative BYOB with Mediterranean influences. Check out the wild Scottish salmon, available on both the lunch and dinner menus, served with a ragout of parsnip, green beans and potato.

Max’s Steakhouse (Trump Plaza): One of the most

under-the-radar casino operations, Max’s is an intimate, boutique steakhouse. Weekly appetizers include lobster phyllo with fennel cream sauce and salmon trio: nova lox, gravlox and pastrami, served with sesame-peanut dressed soba noodles. Three beefy entrees; prime rib, New York sirloin and roasted sirloin top ably demonstrate the house specialty.

Mia (Caesars): Loaded with wow-factor, Mia is the co-creation of restauranteurs Georges Perrier and Chris Scarduzio. Situated on an elevated platform in the main lobby, a sexy, urban vibe radiates. Cuisine tilts to the north of Italy, including a forest mushroom and fontina cheese risotto starter. Hearty seasonal entrees include house-made cavatelli pasta with pancetta, tomato butter and ricotta salata (a dried, aged version) or black peppered lamb loin with cauliflower puree, patti pans and lamb thyme jus.

SeaBlue (The Borgata): Another visually-arresting dining space, owned by wunderkind chef Michael Mina.

Wordly and exotic, special items for the week include an app of ahi tuna tartare with ancho chile, pine nuts, pears, mint and sesame oil or a garganelli “pasta quills” entee with San Daniele proscuitto, truffle butter and

brussel sprout leaves.

Steve and Cookie’s (Margate): One of the shore’s most iconic institutions, owned and run by businesswoman/community activist Cookie Till. Worth a trip just for the lobster mac and cheese or suppli (risotto fritter with basil-plum tomato sauce) starters.

The Foundation Room (The House of Blues at Showboat): Normally a private, members-only club, this is a rare chance for the general pubic to sample their fare from Wednesday through Saturday. Signature entrees include a shrimp “BLT,” bacon-wrapped shellfish, an heirloom tomato salad on micro greens or grilled flat iron steak with angry shoestring fries and Chinese-style long beans.

6ix A Bistro (Bally’s): Open 24 hours, this spacious eatery offers up two of the week’s most distinctive main courses, seven-spice charred saw fish and Stilton pear salad and an airline chicken breast with mash, corn relish and rosemary jus.

The week holds a full plate of options both in and outside of Atlantic City; see below for more than 80 participating venues. ■

5 Questions with Cyril Neville

Where were you when the Saints won the Super Bowl?

We were on tour [with Galactic], playing in Brooklyn. It was weird being in Brooklyn and not in New Orleans, watching the game on these big-screen TV sets with everybody in the audience dressed in Saints gear.

How about a new Neville Brothers album? It’s been a while.

I’m glad you asked that because we got something coming out at [New Orleans] Jazz Fest [in April]. We put together something that’s going to be the beginning of a series. It’s called The Neville Brothers: From the Beginning, Vol. 1. It’s live from 1977.

And we’re packaging it ourselves. And we’re working on a studio record with none other than Allen Toussaint ... that will probably come out late summer/early fall.

How long has Tribe 13 been together?

Actually, we had just started right before Katrina.

How does it feel to be a displaced resident of your home?

Man, it’s really hard to describe. Just about every emotion you can imagine, you go through them on a daily basis. Anything — like seeing what went on in Haiti — [brings] it all back. I’m in between Austin and New Orleans now since last October so I have a first-hand look at what’s been done and what’s not been done. It’s really depressing.

Are you planning to go back home?

People always ask me if I’m planning to go back to live there and at this point it’s really harder [to live in New Orleans] than it was before the storm. ... And there’s no way to correctly convey what that feels like to be abandoned by your government. Everybody who had obligations to help out didn’t.

the one Saturday night to pay for services that its grant doesn’t cover.

“The funds raised from this event will go to services that aren’t covered by Access One’s grant,” says Golden. For example, one of the programs that we offer that is not covered is our Co-Pay Assistance Program, which is for people who have health insurance. We pay their co-pays.”

Free parking, funky music, Creole cooking and a Mardi Gras atmosphere — all for a tax-deductible $25; where else can you find that near Atlantic City? n see more online @

Marotta’s Tony Mart’s Presents held its first fundraiser for Access One last February with music guest the Billy Walton Band.

The event raised $5,000 for Access One, which provides a one-stop service center for locals living with HIV and AIDS. Janine Golden, of Access One, says the entire organization is looking forward to this Saturday’s extravaganza with a major headliner in tow. She adds that it would be nice to double last year’s funds raised.

The story of how Access One and Tony Mart’s Presents (and ultimately Saturday’s fundraiser) came together is an interesting one in itself. The charity organization had some fundraisers in the past, but stopped doing them because they weren’t very successful in terms of bringing in funds.

“Now we have the help of Carmen and it’s become much more successful,” she says.

According to Golden, because Access One operates off grants, they’re required to supplement their income by having fundraisers. “Plus it gives Access One the opportunity to outreach to the community and let people know about the services that we provide,” Golden adds.

Access One is run out of the offices of Dr. Christopher Lucasti in Somers Point.

“His mother, Rita Lucasti, is my sister’s godmother,” says Marotta. “They go way back with us — I think to the 1940s. Because his father used to work at the 500 Club then came over to start working at [the former

Somers Point club] Tony Mart’s and the Somers Point joints in the late 1940s, early ’50s. That’s the history between the Lucasti and the Marotta families.”

Marotta got hooked up again with the Lucasti family a couple years ago.

“One of the girls at Access One, Kathy, is my phlebotomist there and she takes my blood,” says Marotta. “And we started talking one day and she was telling me how Access One has such a hard time raising any money because of the AIDS stigma. She tells me, ‘Nobody wants to give us any money.’

So I said, ‘Well, that’s your first problem, [drop] the AIDS and let’s rock and roll!’”

That led to Tony Mart’s first fundraiser for Access One last February.

Marotta says this Saturday night will be a New Orleans Saints Super Bowl party too.

“We’re going to have a second line,” says Marotta. “We’re going to focus on the Saints victory in the broader sense that it’s a victory for the city of New Orleans — a sort of renaissance after the Katrina disaster.It was so much more than just a football game.”

Aside from the sounds of Neville and Tribe 13, the Mardi Gras theme will prevalent. They’ll be giving away a lot of beads and a king cake is being baked for the event.

“The bottom line is with the real Creole food and Cyril Neville, it’s a great night out for $25 and for a great cause,” says Marotta.

“And the tickets are tax deductible so people can pay by cash or check and write it off because it’s a bona fide 501-c3.”

Established in 1998, Access One, based in Somers Point, is a non-profit, multi-service AIDS organization. The main goal is to provide comprehensive medical care for people living with HIV or AIDS who don’t have insurance. And it offers full medicalcare services.

“So if somebody needs to see a dermatologist, a surgeon, labs, radiology, we cover the full spectrum of medical care,” says Golden. “We also provide free medical care for people living with HIV and AIDS [in Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland counties] and social services and support groups as well.”

As of June 2009, in Atlantic County there are approximately 1,856 people living with HIV; in Cape May County the number of people is 283.

Access One, which works with the South Jersey AIDS Alliance, holds fundraisers like

LTHOUGH MARDI GRAS CAME to a bead-strewn halt in New Orleans last Wednesday at midnight, the Creole vibe will be coming up to Ventnor this Saturday night, Feb. 27, for a very special fundraiser featuring New Orleans music legend Cyril Neville.

We’re talking the entire vibe: authentic Cajun and Creole cuisine, beads, New Orleans rum punch — and other specialty drinks — and Neville Brother Cyril and his solo project band Tribe 13.

The event, a Tony Mart’s Presents fundraiser for Somers Point-based charity organization Access One, starts at 5pm at the St. James Parish Hall (Atlantic and Newport avenues) in Ventnor.

“This could be the best Mardi Gras celebration ever in this county by the time we get done with this,” says Carmen Marotta, organizer of the event. “The food is going to be outrageous for one thing. I made shrimp Creole yesterday, [and all I can say is], ‘Oh my.’” Marotta and local chef Richard Sperlock are cooking all of the food for the Mardi Gras celebration, fundraiser and New Orleans Saints victory party.

“We’re doing all of it,” says Marotta.

“The food’s going to be worth the trip all on its own.”

Then there’s the music. Neville Brother Cyril Neville, with his own band Tribe 13, will perform two one-hour sets during the evening — one at 7:30pm and then a second at 9pm. Tribe 13 will be making a tour stop here after a successful set of shows with the band Galactic. Although Neville hasn’t put out a new album with the Neville Brothers in a while, he’s been busy of late.

Touring with his new band. Getting praise for his 2009 solo album. Working on a new Neville Brothers studio album. He’s also getting ready for a special appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! March 4 with Galactic and New Orleans soul legend Allen Toussaint.

All while traveling back and forth from New Orleans to fix up his storm-battered home left in the wake of Katrina.

Still, Neville is playing the music he loves and just took in the Mardi Gras festivities down in NOLA. “We’re bringing Mardi Gras with us,” Neville tells Atlantic City Weekly during a phone call from the road. “Through all the snow and ice and everything, we’re bringing it. So tell all the people to bring their dancing shoes and come ready to second line with us.”

Urban Book Haven

You no longer have to search far and wide to find your fill of urban literature

By Raymond Tyler

P

AYDAY IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. You work 40 hours or more a week and people give you money. Realistically people give you about half the money your work and time are worth, and then there are taxes, but that’s another column.

So, after cashing my check, there’s almost nothing I enjoy more than checking out a good bookstore. Up until just recently, a trip to a black-themed,

pleasantly surprised to find a black themed, owned and operated bookstore in Pleasantville (about 10 minutes from A.C.) called Urban Books Store that reminds me of my favorite Philadelphia book store. The one exception is that at Urban Books, I can shop for more than 15 minutes without running out to a meter/kiosk to make sure my car is alright.

Looking for a new copy of ‘The Autobiography of Malcolm X’ or ‘Before the Mayflower’ or other classics? Urban Books Store in Pleasantville has them. owned and operated store meant going to Philadelphia. And while any reason to visit Philly is a good one to me, the trip by bus can be very long, especially just to buy a few books. Driving can be quicker. However, you need an interpreter to decipher the code involved with the new parking kiosks and even when they had meters you could get a ticket for parking during bad weather.

So believe me when I say that I was Join us on Facebook:

Located at 28 Old Turn Pike Rd. in Pleasantville, the store has plenty of street parking. Inside the store are books on every subject you could imagine. You can find books on religion, whether your words of faith are in the Bible, the Qur’an or any other.

Books about God are not the only classic material I found at Urban Books. Looking for a new copy of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the Mis-edu-

cation of the Negro, or Before the Mayflower?

You can run right over to Urban Books Store and pick it up, no waiting.

Since I already own most of the classics, on paydays I like to pick up new books, preferably by new authors. I venture through the shelves of fiction until I see a cover that grabs my attention. Then I will read an excerpt and if the author can get to me in the first paragraph, they’ve got a sale.

I’m also always on the lookout for brand-new resource material. Not text books, but books that examine aspects of life, culture, the pursuit of freedom — books like A Testimony of Hope. This particular book collects all of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s civil rights speeches, his sermons on civil rights and war, letters and essays, and what’s really special about this collection is that it includes transcripts of Dr. King’s appearance on Meet the Press and an interview with Roots author Alex Haley.

What everyone seems to be looking for these days is “urban” or “street” fiction. Urban Books definitely has all the new and classic urban-fiction titles.

You can find urban-fiction titles by pioneer Donald Goines, veterans like Vicki Stringer and the always erotic

Zane, as well as books by up-andcoming authors including local writers Mikell Davies (Black Mafia) and Shamirah Smith (NY: Street Religion).

As well as urban fiction, Urban Books Store has an assortment of materials on urban facts with magazines like Don Diva and video documentaries on American gangsters and hip-hop. The owners also support local filmmakers as well, so you can find some interesting indie films.

Visiting Urban Books also offers the opportunity to pick up one-of-a-kind art, and the owner, Dobulu, creates handmade jewelry, oils and incense. You can actually shop at Urban Books Store 24 hours a day at urbanbooksonwheels. com, or you call them at 383-9100. n

Shutter Island

Scorsese’s ‘Shutter’ The director puts his spin on the madhouse horror genre

By Lori Hoffman

W

HEN A MOVIE HAS A TWIST ending, that can handcuff the reviewer who must try to describe the movie without giving away the twist.

One also has to limit references to other, similar films (the heart of film criticism is comparison to previous works) for the same reason: fear of giving away the secret that the director is trying so dilligently to obsure until the moment when he decides to reveal what is really going on.

Shutter Island is Martin Scorsese’s take on a genre that has rarely been elevated to the A-list, the insane-asylum horror film. There have been a few like The Snake Pit and Bedlam. Of course the greatest film set in a loony bin, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, isn’t a horror film although horrible things happen.

The heart of any loony-bin tale is our fears about what really goes on in these institutions. The national mindset is that mental health facilities are where you are sent to become even more insane. The idea of compassionate doctors trying to heal minds trapped in a continuous loop of paranoia and fear doesn’t fit the profile of the classic genre. Those guys in the

and makes the movie feel like a cheat.

Again, there are examples I could site, but I can’t because I’m hoping you don’t figure it out until the twist makes perfect sense and makes the film work. I jumped the gun and the film lost its spark.

This is a Scorsese film, so he makes the traditional elements of the genre come alive with his camera placements and cinematography as DiCaprio’s character is put through the emotional wringer of horrible memories, hallucinations and nightmares. Things that go bump in the mind are so much scarier than things that go bump in the night.

This is DiCaprio’s fourth film with Scorsese, so he has officially taken over the “director’s muse” title from Robert De Niro. He gives a fine performance with just enough emotional hints to make us realize we knew more than we realized all along. Ruffalo provides nice support, as do Kingsley, von Sydow and a solid cameo role by Patricia Clarkson.

My only regret is that I figured out where the movie was going a bit too soon.

white coats are out to get us.

In order to put us in the right frame of mind, Scorsese’s take on the genre is set in the 1950s, with a screenplay by Laeta Kalogridis, based on the novel by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River). We are introduced to Shutter Island via a ferry ride to the island off the coast of Boston taken by U.S. Marshalls Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo). They are coming to the spooky Ashecliffe Hospital to solve the mystery of a missing inmate. Since this is an institution for the criminally insane, having a dangerous patient on the loose is not good.

Scorsese goes for the total creepy/scary vibe starting with the vaguely ominous doctors who run the place, Dr. Cawley (Ben Kingsley) and Dr. Naehring (played by one of the all-time masters of the creepy vibe, Max von Sydow). Toss in the Civil War-era buildings, a raging storm and the revelation that Teddy Daniels has a hidden agenda that has nothing to do with the search for the missing patient, and Scorsese has the set-up for an intriguing horror/thriller hybrid.

However, there is the problem with the twist that takes the film in a completely different direction. If you discover the twist too soon, it really spoils the intrigue
