he Somers Point Jazz Society (SPJS) will be recognizing George Mesterhazy, in memoriam, as its 2013 Jazz Master of the Year. The award ceremony and reception will take place 5pm Sunday, March 10, at Sandi Pointe in Somers Point.

Following the ceremony there will be a performance featuring Barry Miles on piano, Tim Lekan on bass and Bob Shomo on drums. The event is free and open to the public. Mesterhazy, a Cape May resident regarded as one of the finest jazz pianists and arrangers in southern New Jersey, passed away suddenly April 21, 2012, at the age 59. The veteran musician was admired worldwide, and was nominated for a pair of Grammy awards for his work as a player and arranger with vocalist Shirley Horn. He was about to celebrate the release of his latest recording with worldrenowned singer Paula West, Live at Jazz Standard, when he passed away. Mesterhazy’s longtime life partner, Vicki Watson, will accept the award for him. According to a release from the SPJS, “George was a multi-talented jazz musician who left a giant gap in the south Jersey jazz community with his passing last April. He was a huge supporter not only of the Somers Point Jazz Society but of jazz in general.” Mesterhazy came to America with his family when they fled Hungary following that country’s 1956 revolution. Eventually settling in Atlantic City, George first took up guitar and trumpet. After switching to piano and becoming a professional musician, he relocated to Los Angeles but later moved to Cape May. Among the jazz luminaries he played with in his career were Les Paul, Bernadette Peters, Gene Ammons and countless others. Call 927-6677 for more info, or visit spjazz.org.

Ever since the Coen Brothers’ 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou? and the correlating soundtrack brought the sounds of early Americana music back into the mainstream, there has been a lovely resurgence (and acceptance) of acoustic-based acts and recordings.

From Gillian Welch and Iron & Wine to Mumford & Sons, the Carolina Chocolate Drops and the Civil Wars, not only has the world embraced the harmony-drenched sounds of bluegrass and old-timey fare, as well as the traditional instrumentation it sounds best with, but the music industry — the Grammy folks, for example — have also showed much love. One of the best new artists in this Americana sphere is the Milk Carton Kids, whose major label debut The Ash & Clay sounds like vintage Simon & Garfunkel at their best, with gorgeous guitars and the perfect nighttime vibe. This is music you can’t get enough of and I expect these “Kids” to be around for a while — at least to pick up a Grammy next February.

spectrum of 150 singer-songwriters will serenade spectators and industry insiders on 18 stages at 15 different venues in Cape May as the Victorian town hosts the 6th Annual Singer-Songwriter Cape May music business conference and showcase Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23.

Designed for emerging artists of all genres, along with industry folks seeking to sign up-and-coming talent, the boutique event is the ideal setting for singer-songwriters in the tri-state area (and beyond) to network with each other as well as professionals within the musical community. Through a series of panels, workshops, and clinics, registrants will have the opportunity to share demos and absorb insights as knowledgeable industry veterans share their experiences. Among the featured performers and speakers is Tracy Grammer, who will be in the spotlight on Friday, and Ellis Paul, on Saturday (both in the Grand Ballroom at Congress Hall). Both veteran musicians will address conference goers at 5:15pm, then perform for the public shortly after at 8pm. Attendees should not only take in the extraordinary daytime events — which include seminars and mentoring sessions from publishers to producers to publicists (get a Cape May All Access Personalized Laminate, a program/directory, and a Cape May Compilation CD, at sscapemay.com for $75 per person) — but the plethora of free showcases by emerging artists throughout town during the evening hours. Tickets for the Ballroom concerts are also available for the public for $10. After 5pm or so, the panels taking place inside the Ballroom are open to the public. For more information about the conference and showcase, call 888-944-1816, or visit sscapemay.com.

Crawl Coalition

Now in its fifth year, Margate’s Leprechaun Crawl involves three neighboring establishments teaming up to raise money for a worthy cause.

A

long with being the last bastion of a Margate bayfront that could have been called Partytown, USA every summer for decades, Maynard’s Café has had a reputation for fundraisers and humanitarian causes during, and transcending, the 54 years Al Troiano owned and operated it.

In an article toasting him nearly 30 years ago, written by renowned A.C. print and broadcast journalist Samuel “Sonny” Schwartz, who was also well reputed for his generosity and community involvement, Schwartz praised Troiano for never turning his back on a friend, and always being there for others in need.

“Why?” wrote Schwartz. “Because Al is not only the softest touch this side of a velvet glove, he has a heart as large as Lucy the Elephant.”

Schwartz passed away in 1998 and Troiano about five years later, but their legacies in these parts will likely live on forever. Steve Troiano, Al’s son, sees to it that his father’s giving nature is perpetuated through Maynard’s continuous involvement in dozens of events annually that not only help others in need, but put the “fun” in fundraisers.

On Sunday, March 10, Maynard’s teams with Amherst Avenue neighbor Steve & Cookie’s By the Bay, and Johnny’s Café on Ventnor Avenue in Margate, for the fifth annual Leprechaun Crawl. The allday event will benefit Adelaide’s Place, a facility for homeless women located in the Ducktown section of A.C., and founded by Sister Patricia Prendergast in 2002. It is the last in a series of area fundraisers leading up to St. Patrick’s Day Weekend in A.C. “[Adelaide’s] is just a safe place for women to come during the day to get out of the cold, the heat, the rain, whatever the case may be,” says Bridget DelGuercio Sarao, Adelaide’s coordinator of services. “We make coffee in the morning and give them breakfast. They can use our phone to contact doctors, family members, social workers, they can use our washer and dryer to do laundry.

We rely heavily on donations, and are grateful to the Leprechaun Crawl participants for making us their beneficiary.”

Adelaide’s Place is also hosting a March 19 pasta night at Angelo’s in A.C. (5-8pm).

Its signature fundraiser takes place every August at Greate Bay Country Club in Somers Point. Adelaide’s is at 2416 Arctic Ave. in A.C. and is open Monday through Thursday, 9am-4pm, and Friday 9am-3pm.

Donations are appreciated.

The annual Leprechaun Crawl, according to longtime Margate bartender (or “social chemist” on his Facebook page) Dave Tarnovski, begins and ends at Maynard’s.

“We start here around 1[pm, after registration] and follow the bagpipers to Steve

facebook.com/ACWeekly @acweekly

Clancy’s Pistol

The all-day event will benefit Adelaide’s Place & Cookies for some music and drinks,” says Tarnovski. “Then we head to Johnny’s for food and drinks before winding up back here [at Maynard’s] around 4. It’ll probably continue till around 9 or 10. [The bagpipers] are actually just customers who come in here and hang out with friends, have a few laughs and a few pints.”

DJ Sparkles will provide the entertainment when the crawl returns to Maynard’s, which also has plenty on tap for St. Patrick’s Day weekend. One of the primary sponsors of the annual Atlantic City St. Patrick’s Day Parade (starting 1pm, March 16, on the north end of the A.C. Boardwalk), Maynard’s will be hosting a post-parade party with the bands Clancy’s Pistol (5pm) and the Reily Brothers (10pm) that evening. On March 17, Shamus (4pm) and the Reily Brothers (8:30pm) will perform during Maynard’s annual St. Patty’s Day bash.

Ongoing entertainment at Maynard’s includes Quizzo Night every Tuesday with DJ Shakedown (prizes, food and drink specials starting 8pm), and Open Minded Mic night the last Thursday of every month starting 7pm.

“We’ve been doing Open Minded Mic shows at Maynard’s for more than a year now,” says the company’s co-founder John Oelkers (see openmindedmic.com). “It’s a mixed bag of performers — singer/songwriters, bands, comics, even magicians. It’s mostly amateur performers but quite often a professional will contact us and ask to play.

Ewan Dobson, an internationally acclaimed guitarist, has performed at several of our shows [also held at The Boneyard in A.C. every Monday night, and King Pin Lanes in EHT every Tuesday]. We always have a fun time at Maynard’s. It’s a great place.” ■

EVENT INFO

5th Annual Leprechaun Crawl

How Internet Gaming Will Help Atlantic City

An interview with gaming guru, Dr. Israel Posner, executive director of Stockton’s Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality & Tourism in Atlantic City.

By Jeff Schwachter • feedback@acweekly.com

D

o you see the Internet gaming bill that was just passed in New Jersey as being a big positive for Atlantic

City?

I think Internet gaming offers an opportunity not just for Atlantic City, but for the state as well, to be in a leadership position on the evolution of the gaming and entertainment industry. So it offers an opportunity for Atlantic City in terms of being able to draw customers, new customers, into Atlantic City as they use Internet technology to connect to Atlantic City.

Some are saying being able to gamble online legally would keep people from, say, North Jersey away from the casinos because they wouldn’t have to drive down to Atlantic City when they can gamble from anywhere in the state.

People from North Jersey are coming here less often. The convenience gambler is more often coming to eastern Pennsylvania and closer places. What the Internet gaming [bill] does is provide an opportunity to connect to Atlantic City. It’s not an “either or question,” it’s not the case that people who play on the Internet versus [those] who come to a casino — as if that is a choice that someone has to make: one or the other.

What happens is that one will facilitate the other. People that come here will go online because it allows them to stay connected with their favorite casino while they’re away. And people who are away have a chance to stay connected to a casino ... as they win points and get offered opportunities to come visit.

What about people in Pennsylvania who used to come down to A.C. before there were casinos in Pennsylvania? They won’t be necessarily crossing state lines to gamble now.

If you’re a convenience gambler, you gamble where it is most convenient. Again, the convenience gambler is coming here to gamble much less often. Atlantic City is transforming into much more of a getaway, entertainment destination. If all you want to do is gamble, why would you travel an hour and a half when you have it right next to where you live?

So how will Atlantic City reap the benefits of this new Internet gaming legislation?

They will reap the benefits by being able to enlarge their database and connect online to people who right now are not connected and only come here occasionally. The value of a casino is its database and as more people in North Jersey and Central Jersey

facebook.com/ACWeekly @acweekly

“There are a number of steps that have to be taken before this goes live.” or anywhere sign up for an account they’ll have an opportunity to connect to Atlantic City and their favorite [casino] Web site.

With the bill, for those casinos, rather than their customers coming to A.C. to earn points, they’ll be able to do it through the convenience of their own home — and then redeem them in Atlantic City.

Right, they earn those points anywhere they play in New Jersey and then redeem those points when they visit Atlantic City. So it’s really a way of creating more accounts and more opportunities to earn points toward those accounts and more trips based upon redeeming those points. This is an obvious win for Atlantic City as a destination. Saying [Internet gaming] replaces [traditional gaming] is not understanding how this [new bill] works.

How long until legalized Internet gaming in New Jersey goes into effect?

There are a number of steps that have to be taken before this goes live. Obviously the DGE and the Casino Control Commission have to fully vet the companies that choose to apply for an Internet permit and the technology partners that will be running these games. There are a number of major companies, many of them based in Europe, that provide Internet casino services and the A.C. casinos will undoubtedly partner, and have partnered [with them] and they have to be vetted. So the time frame I expect CONTINUED ON PG. 14

Have there already been online gaming operators that have thrown their hats in the ring?

Well, they have them right now, they’ve had them for years. Caesars or Borgata, they’ve had online gaming for years, with “play” money. Caesars will be a major player, Golden Nugget, too, [because] they have existing operations right now of Internetbased gaming with play money.

Atlantic City’s gaming revenue has been down for a while. Do you think Internet gaming will help this consistent slide in revenue over the past few years?

It’s really unknown how much revenue it will add. Clearly the expectation is by the state budget. If you look at [Gov.] Christie’s FY14 budget, it expects probably hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue because it expects a couple of hundred million dollars in tax revenue to come in from Internet gaming, so clearly the state expects quite a bit. I’ve heard estimates of four, five, six hundred million dollars a year in some of the fairly early years of Internet gaming.

The state will tax it at 15 percent. The state is budgeting almost $200 million to come in from Internet gaming, and if you do the

math it could be $800 million a year possibly from Internet gaming.

Is Internet gaming legal around most of the world?

It is legal in probably about 80-85 jurisdictions around Europe, very common around France, Italy, Spain, legal in much of Canada. It’s taxed at a higher rate than around here, much of it is 30-40 percent taxed. They aren’t affiliated there to landbased casinos like they are here either.

Internet gaming is nothing new; it’s been all over the U.S. as well. Many people gamble in this gray area of an unregulated market [and] many people gamble for money. It’s not technically illegal for people to gamble [online]; it’s illegal for financial institutions to be involved in transferring the funds. The UIGEA [Unregulated Internet and Gaming Enforcement Act], which was passed back in 2006 made it illegal for banks to get involved with gaming online. But individuals have gambled online for quite some time.

There are many other vehicles people have used to transfer money. It could be handled by secondhand accounts — there are ways that people do it. What’s new with this is that it’s regulated and fully legal.

Do you anticipate Internet gaming becoming legal in some of the other dozens of states in America that have legal gambling casinos?

I wouldn’t be surprised if over time they get involved in the act as well. There are 23

states with commercial casinos right now and I expect many of them would. So far it’s only been Nevada and Delaware, but I suspect over time you’ll see more states involved.

With regard to New Jersey and Connecticut, Mohegan Sun’s partnership and sharing of Resorts’ database — Mohegan Sun is the only tri-state, multistate type of company that has a position in Atlantic City, other than Caesars. [With regard to Internet gaming, you] just have to be within the state of New Jersey [to participate] right now — unless the state of New Jersey reaches an agreement with another state. I think Mohegan Sun would be quite interested in developing such a relationship to extend their database.

And at the same time, people driving home back to Connecticut from Atlantic City, they can win their money back — or win more — on the way home.

Well, you can only bet the amount that is in your account. In other words, you can’t lose any more, play anymore than what is in your account. You need to have money in your account. Legalization of this is new, uncharted territory, it’s not as if people started drinking in 1933 when the 21st Amendment was passed. When the Food and Drug Administration started, people didn’t just start eating, they just knew what they were eating. So once it’s regulated you know what you’re getting and it promotes

safety and security, rather than an unregulated Wild West industry. It brings public safety, support, comfort to an industry that was basically unregulated. Which was basically true of the 1920s — it wasn’t that people didn’t drink; it was they didn’t know what they were drinking. With more public safety involved, you might see more people trying it.

Do you think this will be a big summer for Atlantic City?

Yes, I think all signs point to a very exciting summer, and I think that’s because there is a lot of activity going on around the city.

The Margaritaville concept at Resorts will be significant. You see a lot of initiatives, a lot of art initiatives around the city that are going to attract people. The aftermath of Sandy, people do want to enjoy themselves despite the tragic loss that happened to a lot of people. I think once the summer comes, people will want to get away a little bit from the clean up. I’m very optimistic about this summer. If you look at Ocean County and Monmouth County, areas that have been badly damaged and there’s a lot of clean up and real difficulties. The fortunate thing about Atlantic and Cape May County resort properties is that they weren’t really damaged; it was more the residential areas on Absecon Island and Ocean City. The tourist attractions had very little or no damage. Up north they might not be up and running for week-long vacations come the summer, like we will be. n

By David Spatz • feedback@acweekly.com

With just eight original studio albums in 27 years, they barely rate a blip on the popular music recording radar.

They’ve racked up a handful of hit singles — including three that have hit the top position — but nothing that’s going to challenge more established and conventional hit-makers.

And if you’re looking to find them on the road, better not blink. They only play live about five months out of the year, which makes them lightweights compared to some of the more active bands on the touring circuit.

Let’s face it, the Saw Doctors aren’t exactly a household name — unless your household is located in Ireland. In that case you just may have a shrine to the band, especially if you’re into Irish-flavored rock ‘n roll.

“We’re not the most prolific band when it comes to recording albums. We always want to record — and we always need to,” says band founder Leo Moran. “But there’s not always time. We play about 100 gigs a year, which takes five months, so when that’s all finished we have to stop and let our brains ... relax and get some new ideas about songs.

It would be nice to be more prolific. But that’s just the way we are.”

In some respects, the Saw Doctors can best be compared to a band like the Grateful Dead, whose strength and popularity didn’t necessarily lay with their recordings but with their jam-band-style live shows. Like the Dead, the Saw Doctors have developed a hard-core base of fans that follows them from one gig to the next.

“We have a good few people that will come to more than one show on the tour — some come to quite a few of them,” Moran told the British web site Hammersmith and Fulham in December. “Some even followed us around in the [United] States. It’s really nice to see familiar faces in the crowd. It

Ireland’s Saw Doctors

“The days of driving ourselves were much harder.” makes us think about the show and try and make sure it’s as good as last time we played and saw the same faces.”

Which means Borgata will probably see many of the same Saw Doctors fans when the band returns Saturday, March 9, to the same room where they made their Atlantic City debut last year during the run-up to St. Patrick’s Day. Moran, who plays lead guitar and supplies occasional vocals, and rhythm guitarist and singer-songwriter Davy Carton, were each members of different bands when they formed the Saw Doctors as a trio in 1986.

The band underwent personnel changes as it began to establish itself in the Irish

rock ‘n roll movement during the late 1980s.

They even poked good-natured fun at U2, the one Irish rock band that everyone knew, with a “rockumentary” spoof of U2’s movie Rattle and Hum. By 1990, the Saw Doctors had become a bankable attraction and began creating a reputation for its live shows. That same year, they punched their ticket to Irish rock dominance with the release of the single “I Useta Lover,” a slightly off-color song about an ex-girlfriend.

The song hit the top of the Irish rock

charts, stayed there for nine weeks and became Ireland’s all-time best-selling single, even surpassing anything released by U2. That song still holds the record 23 years later.

The Saw Doctors aren’t very picky about the types of gigs they play, Moran explains.

They’re as comfortable working big venues as they are more intimate gigs.

“People see us at big gigs and say that we probably never play small gigs. But we like both. Scale isn’t the measurement of how much you enjoy it,” he says. “I loved the ones in America on a Tuesday night — halfway between two big towns, and we would play just for the sake of playing. But they can be your best audience — there could only be 100 of them! But you can enjoy yourself in a different way. Those fans are lovely.”

Moran is refreshingly candid and honest when he talks about his job and life on the road. He realizes that, in the big picture, he and his stage partners could actually have to really work to earn a living.

“Think about it — I’ve got to play music for two hours a night. And sound check for one hour,” he says. “That’s called a day’s work. Now that we don’t have to drive ourselves around, it’s fantastic. You can sit in the back of the minibus or sleep at night between gigs. We’re very lucky that we can sell enough tickets to get a bus we can sleep on! We have to remember that. The days of driving ourselves were much harder.”

The Saw Doctors also have a good sense of humor about themselves and have been known to leave cryptic messages to U2 when the more famous Irish rock band follows them into a venue.

“We were playing Irving Plaza in New York City over a weekend, and U2 were doing a launch at the Plaza during the next week,” Moran remembers. “We had sold out both nights, so we left them a message in the dressing room saying that next time they should play the weekend in the hope they could sell out two nights instead of just one.” n

atalie Cole, who has a new Latin album due this spring (with Cole singing all the songs in Spanish), is no stranger to Atlantic City, having performed here numerous times in just the last decade alone. The daughter of pop and jazz legend Nat “King” Cole is doing a handful of casino shows through the end of April, including a stop at the Trump Taj Mahal on Sat., March 16. At 63, Cole can still belt her heart out. Just last month she was selected to open the prestigious 2013 Newport Jazz Festival this August.

Indra Lyn Owens Founder/CEO, Princess, Inc.

I

ndra became an educator in 2004, quickly noticing that students needed strong mentors within her community and someone to hear their concerns. She became that ear, and their futures, lives and successes have been her calling ever since.

She was regularly encouraged by her mother to “go teach the kids!” and now, seven years later, she teaches “in a more unique way” in her new role as founder and CEO of Princess, Inc., a non-profit organization of strong, intelligent, socially responsible women who donate their time and personal resources to the development of young ladies in southern New Jersey. The idea for Princess, Inc. had stirred within her for years, but Indra only acted on it recently, in 2011, when she decided to “make it happen.” Indra owes her inspiration to the countless phenomenal women who helped cultivate her, the young girls she serves, her community, and most importantly her daughter and niece. She strongly believes that “women of color, often portrayed in negative stereotypes in urban communities, can achieve the changes we desire and overcome any obstacles.”

Distraught by the arguably misleading views of the Middle East popularized by news media, Frank felt obligated to capture photographs highlighting the innate humanism that lies beneath the tangled web of human culture. Using trial-and-error methods to learn the photographic process, Frank developed his unique and meticulous technique. After leaving the military at age 22, Frank enrolled full time at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey and simultaneously began operating his first company, Frank Weiss Photo. After working with still photography, Frank’s love for art compelled him to shift towards the moving image, and in 2010 he opened Wild Rhino Films, which has produced several documentaries focusing on socio-cultural issues.

Deftones: Heaviness and Harmony Alt-metal veterans bring powerful, yet passionate sounds to the House of Blues in support of fantastic new album.

By Ed Condran • feedback@acweekly.com

34

MARCH 7 - 13, 2013 • ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY

T

he Deftones are back where the band needs to be. The underheralded thinking man’s metal band, which will perform Friday, March 8, at the House of Blues in Atlantic City, is back on its record-an-album and follow with a tour cycle.

“I think we all feel best when we’re living in that mode,” keyboardist Frank Delgado tells Atlantic City Weekly.

The band is touring behind its latest album, Koi No Yokan, which dropped in November. The album is full of atmospheric cuts, which are both dreamy and heavy, like the band was during its salad days with the exceptional White Pony album from 2000.

“First off, it’s hard to believe it’s been that long since White Pony,” Delgado says. “But I think this album is a return to form for us.

We have some of those familiar elements but we’ve also moved on as well. We’re just thrilled to be able to do this on a regular basis.”

The Sacramento, Calif., based band was always fairly prolific until 2008, which is when bassist Chi Cheng was in a severe car accident.

There was nearly a five-year gap between

facebook.com/ACWeekly @acweekly

“We don’t sound like pissed off kids anymore. We’re all grown men, who have lived. We’ve been around the world.”

2006’s Saturday Night Wrist and 2010’s Diamond Eyes.

“We had a lot going on with Chi,” Delgado says.

Cheng was in intensive care for six months.

Quicksand bassist Sergio Vega has enabled the band to continue. While dealing with the reality of Cheng’s situation, the band recorded an album’s worth of songs, but eventually scrapped them.

“We can’t put anything out unless it’s up to a certain standard,” Delgado says. “It’s alright to write and record a song and not use it. You can only release the best of what you come up with. You go out and do it and you come back with your sound.”

The band alternates from somber to menacing arguably better than any contem-

porary band. Much of that has to do with two strong characters in the group, vocalist Chino Moreno and guitarist Stephen Carpenter.

Moreno keeps that melodic, melancholy Cure-influenced side to the Deftones’ music.

While Carpenter, who loves heavy riffs, is an inveterate headbanger who loves his power chords.

“There’s room for a variety of sounds with this band,” Delgado says. “I think we have a great balance with this band. The thing is that when we put it all together, nobody sounds like the Deftones. That’s the cool thing about all of the [sonic] elements that are part of our mix. It helps make us an identifiable, unique band. We’ve been that for years. It’s just good to be getting back on track. We need to be making music and

touring. That’s what we live for. We need to do our thing, which is make the best music possible.”

What separates the Deftones, which also includes drummer Abe Cunningham, from many of its muscular music peers is that the group loves cranking out hooks and penning anthemic tunes.

“One thing that we’ve never been afraid of is writing catchy songs,” Delgado says. “We grew up on melodic songs and we have no trouble infusing that in our own songs.”

The Deftones are still standing and you can’t help but notice that the band has morphed and matured.

“I think some of that has to do with what happened with Chi,” Delgado says. “You realize how fortunate you are to be able to do what you love everyday. It was a wake up call of sort. Not everybody gets to realize their dream in life. There’s a lot of people who wake up every day and go to a job they don’t like. We get to make music and I think we got more serious after [Cheng’s accident].

We know what we have is a special thing and we’re just running as far as we can with it. We don’t sound like pissed off kids anymore. We’re all grown men, who have lived.

We’ve been around the world, made a bunch of albums and we’re still doing it. That’s a pretty awesome thing.”

Even though the Deftones experienced some serious stuff, such as Cheng’s accident and dealing with the ups and downs of the music industry, which has changed enormously since the band formed in 1988, it’s all about fun for the veteran band.

“We’ve been around for so long with each other, but it’s still a blast,” Delgado says.

“You read about other bands that have been around for a while and there is all of this drama and we just don’t have that. We enjoy being around each other and making music that we love. I think if you’re going to make great music, there should be at least some fun while making it. We’ve had to deal with Chi’s accident and that is still so tough, but at least we’re still making music.

We still connect with an audience that still supports us. Who would have known that would happen and we would have such longevity? It’s something we don’t take for granted. You never know what tomorrow is going to bring.

“But even if this were all going to end soon, we’ve done so much over the years that I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished together. It’s been an amazing run and the cool thing is that it’s still happening.” ■ see more online @

Gala Gourmet at Atlantic-Cape

30th Annual Atlantic Cape Community College Restaurant Gala

The 30th annual Atlantic Cape Community College Restaurant Gala will feature delectable fare from Academy of Culinary Arts students and more than 50 top area restaurants. By Frank Gabriel • feedback@acweekly.com

T

hirty years ago, a little community college in the woods of southern New Jersey began hosting an upscale restaurant gala featuring the cuisine of many of the region’s finest restaurants, while simultaneously showcasing upcoming kitchen talent from their nascent Academy of Culinary Arts.

What began as an event attended by about 350 persons has since grown consistently according to John Varalli, a founding member of the Steering Committee for the Atlantic Cape Community College Restaurant Gala.

“We sell out every year with nearly one thousand guests,” says Varalli, longtime restaurateur. “Where else can you taste food from more than 50 places at one event?”

Varalli, more than anyone else, should know whereof he speaks. His South Philly neighborhood favorite is the sole original restaurant still participating after those three decades.

Atlantic Cape Community College’s 2013 edition, to be held Thursday, March 14, at 6:30pm at various venues inside Bally’s, is planned as a reflection back upon that history. Specifically, the evening will serve to honor the late Donald P. “Doc” Crescenzo and Samuel Donio, a pair of prominent Hammonton businessmen who were founding members of the Atlantic Cape Foundation and the Board of Trustees.

Crescenzo, a graduate of the Georgetown University School of Dentistry, served as a Navy dentist in Brooklyn prior to returning to Hammonton and opening his own practice. He was a longtime president of the Board of Education and helped develop the western Atlantic County town’s Wood Street Athletic Complex.

Donio, an attorney with a law degree from

“Where else can you taste food from more than 50 places at one event?”

Rutgers Camden, and like Crescenzo a Navy veteran, was vice chairman of the Board of Trustees at Atlantic Cape. He also served as a solicitor for a number of south Jersey boards of education.

Members of the Crescenzo and Donio families will act as honorary chairpersons, along with Academy of Culinary Arts Honoree Chef Kevin Scull. A 1985 graduate of Atlantic Cape’s Academy of Culinary

Arts, and formerly a restaurant owner in Ocean City, Scull currently serves as foodand-beverage director at the revitalized Golden Nugget.

“It’s nice to be recognized that I’d always given back to the profession,” says Scull.

“That’s the most rewarding part.”

Scull, a longtime adjunct instructor at the ACA, credits the former and current deans, chef Klaus Muller and chef Kelly

McClay, with having helped him immensely throughout his career. “[Muller] was a great mentor for me,” says Scull.

This year’s theme of “Celebrate the 30 kNights,” the 2013 gala embraces a Camelot-inspired vision, replete with Arthurian-décor, ice sculptures and a sumptuous feast.

The celebration of food begins with thousands of hors d’oeuvres prepared by students from the Academy and continues through house specialties from contributing restaurants — far too many to mention here — served as a progressive dining experience.

A “Dessert Extravaganza,” crafted by the talented hands of master pastry chef Eugen Ess of Trump Taj Mahal and executive pastry chef Deb Pellegrino of Caesars, should complete the festivities with a regal flourish. Musical interludes for the evening present a variety of artists including the Philadelphia-based band FM, the Sensational Soul Cruisers, the Ocean City Pops, and Lenny Mitchell.

The O.C. Pops will kick things off, welcoming guests during a cocktail reception in the Traymore Ballroom. FM, making their Restaurant Gala debut, will perform a wide range of popular music in the Ocean Ballroom. The Soul Cruisers take the stage in the Grand Ballroom, their act offering costume changes and traditional show band choreography. Closing out the event, Lenny Mitchell will entertain while guests explore the dessert delicacies to be served in the Atrium.

All proceeds from the evening — which have totaled in excess of $3 million since its inception — will benefit student scholarships at the Academy of Culinary Arts and Atlantic Cape Foundation operations. ■ see more online @

Spring Brings Better Movies As the weather warms, the quality of the movies tends to improve

ood news movie fans, the movie dead zone is almost over. If you’ve been wondering why there are no decent movies out there lately — except for the Oscar winners you might have missed earlier — the reason is simple economics.

The period after the December holiday movies and before the Easter holiday is traditionally the worst movie-going period of the year at the box office. Movie companies are holding back their quality films for the Easter holiday and beyond, and of course the blockbusters and the rest of the summer lineup will be unleashed around mid-May. This is the reason the movie companies dump movies this time of year that have been A) sitting on a shelf somewhere; B) that stink or C) are no-name-cast horror movies with a built-in, if limited, audience.

Since they don’t expect much, why waste a quality movie in January or February?

It is also a time when you might see an actor doing something unexpected. For example, Dwayne Johnson wanting to prove he is more than an action hero/kid movie star by showing his ability as a serious actor in Snitch. The problem is his fans don’t want him to be a serious actor, hence the February release date.

On the other hand, Johnson is in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, a popular franchise. That movie has a more box-office friendly opening date of March 28, right before Easter. If Johnson were really trying to cultivate more respect as an actor, he shouldn’t have decided to return to the fake world of WWE wrestling right at the same time he was getting serious on the big screen. It’s a mixed message.

Of course if someone in marketing had the bright idea to stand out among the bad movies with a good movie, they might break Hollywood’s off-season dead zone mental-

including Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone, Catherine Keener and Cloris Leachman.

Olympus Has Fallen — A couple of stubborn movie companies decided to go head to head with the same story, the White House seized by terrorists. This one fires first, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Gerald Butler, Aaron Eckhart as the president, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Dylan McDermott, Ashley Judd and Melissa Leo. For the record, the other movie is White House Down, which stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx as the president, is directed by Roland Emmerich and is due June 28.

‘Olympus Has Fallen’

Why waste a quality movie in January or February? ity. Hollywood executives doing something innovative in the winter? Well, I can dream, can’t I? But enough about why movies are lousy right now. The good news is the drought is about to end. With the arrival of Easter the bad movie syndrome will be broken and movies we want to see will be hitting the big screen. Yes, there will be bad movies in the mix (there always are), but at least some of them will be good and dare we hope, even great.

Last year was a very good year at the

movies and 2013 has nine more months to catch up. With that in mind here are a few movies coming out in the next few weeks that just might launch the 2013 movie season for real.

March 22 The Croods — Parents, this might be a film worthy of a family outing to the multiplex. It’s a prehistoric comedy adventure that follows the world’s first family as they embark on a journey to find a new home.

The vocal cast is full of acting heavyweights

The Sapphires — A delightful musicalinfused drama/comedy about a quartet of Aboriginal lady singers who go to Vietnam to entertain the troops. For these young ladies going to Vietnam means career advancement. The film co-stars Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids) as their manager. It’s plucky and fun and loaded with classic soul tunes from the era.

March 29 The Place Beyond the Pines — One of my favorite films at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, starring Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes and directed by Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine). It’s a fascinating mash-up of crime thriller, police corruption and in its third act, a “sins of the fathers” finale.

April 5 Jurassic Park 3D — We know this is a great popcorn movie; now to get to see it in 3D. ■

rank Ferry’s relationship with the late, legendary Atlantic City powerbroker Enoch “Nucky” Johnson grew out of a 1964 legal case in which Ferry, then a young lawyer appointed assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New Jersey, helped Johnson beat an attempt by the U.S. Department of Justice to collect $20,000 from a taxevasion conviction 23 years prior. The two remained close friends for the next four years, until Johnson’s death in 1968.

It is nearly a certainty that nobody still alive knows more than Ferry about the life of Nucky Johnson, who bestowed his memoir upon Ferry and is the subject of his book Nucky: The Real Story of the Atlantic City Boardwalk Boss. Ferry began writing the book 13 years ago and just released it in January during a book signing at A.C.’s historic Knife & Fork Inn. Along with Johnson’s memoirs and a close personal relationship with him, Ferry researched his life through Arts and featuring the culinary specialties of 50 of the regionʼs best restaurants. Music will be provided by the Sensational Soul Cruisers, FM Band, the Ocean City Pops and Lenny Mitchell. $225. 6:30pm. Tickets: Carrie Leahy at 463-4672 or cleahy@atlantic.edu or online at atlantic.edu/gala There will also be a Gala 50/50 Raffle to Benefit Atlantic Cape Scholarships. Only 300 tickets will be sold at $100 each. The winning tickets will be drawn at the gala. Winners do not need to be present to win. To order raffle tickets, contact Carrie Leahy at 463-4672 or cleahy@atlantic.edu or Ed Blake at 645-3330 or edblake@blakeandassociates.net
