PINKYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CORNER

Keep the Comments Coming

By Pinky Kravitz

F

OR YEARS I KEPT WONDERING WHY THE readers of this column hardly ever sent me an e-mail or letter about the subject matter discussed. There was a multitude of interesting and controversial columns but the majority of you seem satisfied in reading and not expressing your views on the subject matter of the column.

I felt quite frustrated in the lack of response. However, I persevered and continued to write thinking that as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading I should be satisfied â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Several months ago, Atlantic City Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s editor, Jeff Schwachter, decided to add a commentary opportunity for those who read the articles on the Internet. At first, a few of you expressed your reaction to what was written in my column. Slowly but surely, the number of comments for each weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column started to grow. Four weeks ago, there were 20 comments about the column â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing Being Done?â&#x20AC;?

Three weeks ago, there were four comments about the column â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Atlantic Is Amazing.â&#x20AC;? Two week ago there were 12 comments about the column â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atlantic City Cleanup Project Approved.â&#x20AC;? I must interject the fact that I normally read my column on the Internet on Wednesday evening when it comes out, and after a few days I will check to see the number of comments and then read them. This past week I read the column as usual Wednesday evening, but because of a lot of pressing issues, never looked at the comments until the following Tuesday evening. I was flabbergasted and amazed when I read that there were 28 comments to the recent column â&#x20AC;&#x153;No 200-Room Casinos.â&#x20AC;? Let me point out that not all of the comments are about the column. Some of the writers of the comments are commenting about what others are commenting on. I learned from the editor that the 28 readers who commented set a record for the largest number of comments about any column or item in the paper since the comments section was inaugurated.

I proceeded to count the number of comments that agreed with the concept of the column and those who disagreed, as well as those who wrote about other things and did not express a view one way or the other. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to note that there were 12 that seemed to be in agreement with the writer and there were even 11 who were not in agreement. The remaining five had no comments about the subject. In trying to figure out what it was all about, I have come to the conclusion that I have a balanced group of readers who take their time to express views on what this columnist had to say.

By writing about the comments, I hope to get more of you to express your reaction to what you read in this space. You can be assured that I take your views and ideas seriously, whether they are pro or con. The one thing that I believe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned about this writer is that he loves Atlantic City, its people and its environs. I can assure you that I will continue to do all I can to further the aims and objectives of making Atlantic City a true destination resort. Your comments help me to see other views that are expressed about the subjects being written.

It has helped me tremendously. I thank you for being in my corner and caring enough to comment.

Summer Solstice Parade?

The summer solstice, which takes place June 21, is the beginning of the best season of the year. So why not celebrate it with a parade? The idea originated in Seattle, Wash., and Santa Barbra, Cal. The summer season is, throughout the nation, one of the happiest of the year.

We have lots of sunshine and the opportunity to enjoy the recreational activities that are available in the outdoors. Seashore communities, like those along our New Jersey shoreline, are particularly delighted that the summer solstice has arrived and commemorate the beginning of this wonderful season.

It takes interested and concerned people to make good things happen in a community. Daryl Bulthuis of Casino Connection magazine is that kind of person. He was familiar with the summer solstice parades elsewhere, and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to take ideas from the existing parades, add some of our own concepts, and make an East Coast-Atlantic City version.â&#x20AC;?

Bulthuis presented his ideas to the Atlantic City Jaycees and they said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do it!â&#x20AC;? They formed a committee and are well on their way to having one of the biggest parades Atlantic City has had since the Miss America Pageant Parade was laid to rest.

It was decided that the Summer Solstice Parade would be held on the Saturday following the summer solstice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; June 26. It has been determined that it should be an informal parade. Individuals or groups of friends who want to join the parade are urged to wear a costume that suits them, or come as you are to be a spectator and enjoy the participants as they stroll along the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and most charming Boardwalk. The parade will include floats, a variety of musical organizations, rolling chairs, roller skaters, bike riders, battery-operated vehicle riders and other interesting participants, including a host of people walking the boards singing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the Boardwalk in Atlantic City.â&#x20AC;?

The parade will begin at the Garden Pier and end at Albany Avenue, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the end of the celebration. The Summer Solstice Parade will be followed by an assortment of exciting activities on the beach. Included will be a bonfire with fire dancers, bikini contests at most of the beach bars and lots of informal activities on the beach such volleyball games, a swim race for varied ages, hopscotch, marble-shooting and sand-sculpting contests, and a host of other events.

The Summer Solstice Parade and all related activities will take place on Saturday, June 26. Please mark the date, as it will be one of the most exciting days Atlantic City has had in many years. More information on the parade will be forthcoming within the next several weeks. n

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Boardwalk Empireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gets the Gala Treatment

It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even premiered yet, but HBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boardwalk Empire is already starting to make a big impression on Atlantic City. The show, starring Steve Buscemi and directed by Martin Scorsese and slated to debut later this year, was adapted from the book of the same name written by Atlantic County Superior Court Judge Nelson Johnson.

The author will appear at the Atlantic City Hotel and Lodging Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual Gala Friday (April 9) at the Tropicana for a book signing. But the gala is going more Boardwalk Empire than that. Executives from HBO, including the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main writer, creator and executive producer Terence Winter and executive producer and director Tim Van Patten are also scheduled to attend.

The entire gala will also be done in a Roaring â&#x20AC;&#x2122;20s mode, reflecting the time setting of Boardwalk Empire.

All proceeds from the event benefit the ACHLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scholarship fund, which has given out more than $240,000 in scholarships to local students pursuing careers in the hospitality and culinary fields. Throughout the evening, guests will have the chance to win prizes, including air travel tickets, overnight stays, gift baskets and other valuable prizes. ACHLA will also announce their 2009 Allied Member of the Year and host the installation of the 2010 Officers and Board of Directors. Tickets are $145. Call 345-8910 for information. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Pritchard

Have a Heart for Hunger AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center is presenting the Community FoodBank of New Jerseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15th annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a Heart for Hungerâ&#x20AC;? chance auction on Saturday, April 10, at the Shore Mall (noon-6pm) in EHT. With thousands of people struggling more than ever to put food on the table, the event will go a long way in providing food for the needy. The auction starts at noon and the $5 entry fee will include refreshments. Auction items will include sporting goods, toys, electronics, entertainment packages and more. NBC-TV 40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michelle Dawn Mooney and WTKU radioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Allen Pratt will host the festivities. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event promises to be better than 2009, when 5.7 million pounds of food were distributed to eclipse the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total by 36 percent. Over 110,000 pounds of food were distributed throughout Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and southern Burlington counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With need at its highest in FoodBank history, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to hit fundraising records to help us in our mission to fight hunger and poverty,â&#x20AC;? says Margie Barham, executive director of the Community FoodBankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Southern Branch.

toward assisting families in dealing either directly with bills incurred through co-pays not covered by insurance, or in the construction and maintenance of such consolatory establishments as the Ronald McDonald House. The first of over 300 Ronald McDonald Houses was at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia 35 years ago, and Katie’s Krusaders spearheaded a second one in Philly at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children that opened in January 2008.

“When Katie first got sick, my husband [Paul] and I soon realized that not only are you burdened emotionally, but the financial burden is very, very extreme,” says Terry Duffin. “When you’re going through this, mentally all you want to do is be there for your child, and these parents — in one hand they have their PECO bill and in the other hand they have a bill with all these medications that their child needs — they can’t do it all. … We knew what a problem this could be, and we decided to help them as much as we could financially.

“That’s the kind of thing we do, and that’s what makes it all worthwhile,” she adds. “Don’t get me wrong — I’d give this all up in a second to have [Katie] back, but since that’s not a choice I want to help everyone else through her.”

“There are many, many charities, but to me Katie’s Krusaders is home grown, it’s local, and most importantly it helps families with very sick children who have these unbelievable additional costs associated with things like going to the hospital every day, receiving special care and medical treatment,” Schultz told AC Weekly prior to the inaugural Game On! event. “It’s a wonderful charity and I’m proud to be part of it.” n

AVE SCHULTZ IS A FORMER NHL PLAYER whose style of play epitomized the Philadelphia Flyers’ “Broad Street Bullies” nickname during their back-to-back Stanley Cup-winning teams of the mid-1970s. Katie Duffin was a little girl from suburban Philly who waged a brave fight against pediatric cancer until the disease ended her life just shy of her fifth birthday in 2003.

How those two names would combine to assist families coping with unimaginable hardships might be one for the “life works in mysterious ways” file.

About 11 years ago, Schultz lent his celebrity name to a golf tournament benefiting cancer research run

by Shelly Valenti, whose son is a childhood leukemia survivor. Valenti would subsequently earmark the tournament’s proceeds toward Katie’s Krusaders — a support group started by the Duffin family in memory of the little girl who passed away, and designed to help defray the emotional and monetary hardships all families dealing with sick children will inevitably face. Schultz’s support never wavered, and the golf tournament he chaired for the last 11 years is just one of many he’s backed in the name of Katie’s Krusaders.

“He’s a wonderful man,” says Katie’s mother, Terry Duffin. “He has a signature wine [part of the NHL Alumni Wine Series] that benefits Katie’s Krusaders, and on the back of each bottle tells about our Web site [katieskrusaders.com]. Last year he did a poker tournament and donated the money toward the cause, and he’s been part of so many other fundraisers since he and Shelly came on board [in January 2004]. He’s the most kindhearted, warm soul who’d do anything for anybody.”

This Friday night, April 9, Schultz will again host the second annual Katie’s Krusaders fundraiser at Game On! sports bar at The Pier Shops at Caesars. For a $10 admission fee earmarked for the cause, the event will include a cocktail-and-hors d’oeurves reception, a golf putting contest, mechanical bull riding, raffles, silent and Chinese auctions featuring autographed memorabilia, complimentary appetizers and drink specials (including Dave Schultz Chardonnay at $3 per glass), and a party centered around the Flyers’ televised showdown with the New York Rangers.

“Last year we did pretty well for a first-year event,” says Valenti. “It was not a huge turnout but it was brand new and you have to expect that. I know all the people who were there had a ball. Last year it was held in February and this year in April, so maybe with the nicer weather we’ll pick up a few more people and they’ll tell other people about it, and that’s the way these things grow.

I’m familiar with that because our bowl-a-thon [held for the sixth year in early March] started small and now I couldn’t even stop that if I wanted to because so many people love it. This year it raised about $22,000.”

Events like the Game On! fundraiser can go a long way

HAT IS UP WITH ALL OF the bullying in our schools?

There are children killing themselves over people bullying them. I know when I was in school I was always thankful that the students were pretty good for the most part. There were a few fights here and there but nothing too bad. Maybe it has to do with the area we live in or maybe it had to do with the fact that we didn’t have texting, cell phones, social media etc. Who knows?

But it is a damn shame.

Where do these children get off thinking that they can be so mean to another person? It’s even more sad because it’s not their fault. It’s the parents’ fault for not instilling common sense in these kids at an early age. It’s the parents’ fault for not properly loving their children and making them feel special. These kids feel like they have to bully other kids to make themselves feel better and then, God forbid if a tragedy such as a person killing themselves happens, the bully will feel guilty forever. Especially once they grow out of the bullying stage.

When I was a young kid we had no money, my parents separated when I was seven, and things were tough. My mom knew that my sister and I had to get a good education because that was something not provided to her when she was a kid, and she knew that her parents didn’t make her feel special (now they’re excellent grandparents) so she set out to do all the right things for my sister and I. We may have been poor but we felt good about ourselves and we knew we were loved. In school it was a different story.

Thanks to scholarships, we were fortunate to attend a private school, however unfortunately it was with a lot of kids who didn’t understand how someone didn’t have “cool” clothes or gadgets and therefore we didn’t have many friends. I hated school every day but I looked forward to coming home to a loving home.

Now with texting it is so easy for kids to communicate. When I was in high school we finally got pagers and that was a big deal. However, even with those you had to find a pay phone to call someone. All that would come up was a phone number or sometimes a code such as 143 meaning facebook.com/ACWeekly

“I love you.” Now kids have their own cells, they can take pictures and send them to each other. They can write notes to each other through text messages and send them instantly. In high school, it was always fun to pass notes. We would write a full page, fold it pretty and then pass it to each other in the hallway. I still have some notes — pretty funny what we used to write. Everything was so important and serious …. But anyway, back to the topic at hand.

It is true that times have changed.

Technology has changed and, you know what, we have to change. We have to understand what is going on in these times and try to adhere to it. Social media has enabled people to say whatever they want with the security of anonymity.

Even on the grieving sites for these people who took their own lives, “cyber bullies” are posting horrible things such as “They deserved it,” “She was an awful person anyway” — just mean things about a recently deceased person who has a grieving family.

The bottom line is, we need to talk to our children and teach them about common sense and life events such as bullying, safety, sex and life in general. It’s imperative that we get out there and show them how to defend themselves and to realize that people love them. If they are being bullied we must make sure to tell the proper people so it can be resolved, and if they are thinking of bullying we must make sure to get the point across that it is not funny and not something to be proud of. It is wrong! Believe me they may hate you for it now, but they will thank you for it in the future. n

HE BORGATA SPRING POKER Open kicks off this Saturday (April 10) with an opening $500 + $60, $250,000 guaranteed deep stack No Limit Hold’em tournament. The open runs from Saturday to April 30 and culminates with a $1 million guaranteed championship event. The championship carries a $3,300 + $200 buy-in.

Coming off its successful Winter Poker Open in January (despite some horrible weather) and complementing the casino’s annual Borgata Open in the fall (a stop on the World Poker Tour) the casino will ratchet up another three weeks of high-stakes events and satellites with the Spring Open.

The inaugural open will feature 26 main events, including No Limit Texas Hold’em, 6-Hand Max No Limit, H.O.S.E., Pot Limit Omaha and Omaha Stud events.

The tournament will also be filled with super satellites, survivor, and seniorsonly and ladies-only events.

One of the highlights is the April 13 East Coast Championship, which actually has a higher buy-in, $7,200 + $300, than the open championship, but only a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. Satellites for the East Coast Championship begin April 10 and for the Spring Open Championship April 16.

Some other big days include the April 17 ($1,000 + $90) and April 23 ($1,500 + $150) No Limit Hold’em events. The open championship begins over two days April 25 and 26.

Online registration for events ended Wednesday. On-site registration begins Friday in the Borgata Poker Room. Visit theborgata.com for information.

In some other news, Atlantic City’s own Phil Ivey scored a major coup on televised poker this week when he pulled off a massive bluff on GSN’s High Stakes Poker.

After semi-bluffing against Daniel Negraneu and taking a pot, Ivey went all out, or rather all in, on the next pot.

Barry Greenstein raised to $5,500 pre-flop with Q-10 and Ivey, for whatever reason, came over the top for $18,000 with just a 5-2. Lex Veldhuis pushed the action to $51,600 with K-J of hearts, Greenstein folded, and Ivey went all in for $197,200.

Veldhuis folded.

What’s Old Is New B

By David J. Spatz

REAK OUT THE BELL-BOTTOMS, the tie-dyed shirts, the Nehru jacket and some polyester leisure suits. It’s beginning to look a lot like the 1960s and ’70s around Atlantic City these days.

As the casinos begin filling in the blanks and adding names to the spring and summer entertainment schedule, artists who got their starts in the business in the 1960s and ’70s are proving to be a solid casino draw more than four decades later.

Although it hasn’t been announced, we can confirm that Simon & Garfunkel, one of the most iconic duos to emerge from the flower-power era, will perform a one-night-stand May 21 at Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. The 5,200-seat Etess Arena will be one of the smaller rooms on S&G’s abbreviated North American tour. It’ll be S&G’s first Atlantic City gig since they worked Boardwalk Hall during a reunion tour several years ago.

“Do the math,” says one booking agent.

“When [Simon & Garfunkel] first came out in the mid-’60s, their fan base was primarily teenagers and people in their 20s.

Today, those fans are in their late 50s to their early 70s and have some disposable income. They are the perfect casino act.

If you stick around for another 30 or 40 years and you’ll see acts that are popular [with today’s younger audience] will be the [casino headliners] of tomorrow.”

Another act with roots in the ’60s, The Guess Who (“American Woman,” “These Eyes”), will play Resorts Atlantic City on May 29, with original members Jim Kale and Garry Peterson still in the line-up.

And the horn-rich band Chicago, which first hit the charts in 1967 as Chicago Transit Authority, return to familiar haunts when they play Caesars Atlantic City May 29-30.

Procol Harum, the British rock band whose single “A Whiter Shade of Pale” was perhaps the most iconic song of 1967, makes its A.C. debut June 12 with a onenighter at the Tropicana, which is the same night another British band from the ’60s, Jethro Tull, takes the stage at Caesars.

Acts that started out in the ’70s and who are still touring today also figure into the casino demographic puzzle.

Mark Knopfler, who formed the band Dire Straits in 1977, has been flying solo for years and lands at Caesars on May 8.

Creedence Clearwater Revisited — which consists of former members of the original Creedence Clearwater Revival (minus John Fogerty and his older brother, the late Tom Fogerty), will bring its

14

southern rock sound to Harrah’s Resort on June 5. Earth, Wind & Fire still have the drawing power to fill a big casino showroom and will play Borgata’s Event Center June 11-12.

Grammy Award-winner Pat Benatar shares the billing with REO Speedwagon June 26 at Caesars Atlantic City, which also rolls out the red carpet for former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and the 11th edition of his All-Starr Band on July 4. Starr’s current band roster includes Edgar Winter, Gary Wright and Rick Derringer, among others.

Sting, who formed the Police in 1978 and is touring this summer with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, plays a one-nighter July 9 at Borgata, and Heart, formed by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson in the early 1970s, will headline Caesars Aug. 7.

Idol Gossip: This just in: Tears For Fears plays the House of Blues at Showboat on Aug. 20. … One good gig deserves another for hypnotist Joe Boccuti, whose X-rated show Hypnosterical returns to Trump Marina July 1-Sept. 5 for the second straight summer. Boccuti is a practicing hypnotist who has crafted a very entertaining (if not embarrassing) show in which he pulls up to two dozen willing volunteers from the audience, puts them under his hypnotic spell on stage and then commands them to do things they might not otherwise do. Every show is different, because every audience is different. Check your inhibitions at the door and leave the kids at home for this one. … It wouldn’t be summer without a Cirque Dreams show in Atlantic City, so Trump Taj Mahal is bringing back the hit show Jungle Fantasy June 29-Sept. 5 in the Xanadu showroom. … Las Vegas-based magician Nathan Burton keeps adding to his frequent flier account. Burton, who performed a series of one-night-stands on Saturday at Harrah’s Resort this winter, will keep making those whirlwind trips April 17, May 8 and May 22. When he isn’t running between airports, Burton is one of the resident headliners at the Flamingo Las Vegas. n

Sports Betting Push Is On

The state is considering a referendum on allowing sports betting in New Jersey.

By Michael Pritchard

T

HOUGH BILLED AS A PUBLIC hearing on sports betting in New Jersey, the voices heard Monday at the Atlantic City Convention Center were much more political and public than private. And the conclusion was obvious — sports betting has a lot of political support in the state.

Politicians, union officials and several proponents for Internet gambling came out strongly in favor of a plan to hold a referendum in November to amend the state constitution to allow sports betting at casinos and racetracks. Though current federal law prohibits sports betting in 46 states, including New Jersey, (Nevada, Oregon, Montana and Delaware have exemptions) the amendment is needed so the city can respond quickly if the federal ban is overturned, proponents say.

“We need to be ready when it happens,” said Assemblyman James Whelan, one of the sponsors of the amendment.

“If the ban is overturned, Delaware could respond within weeks and New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut would be right behind them. But if we are only starting the process, it could take two years for us to be able to respond.”

Adding to the urgency is a lawsuit brought by state Sen. Raymond J. Lesniak, (D-Union) — a sponsor of the bill along with Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-Cape May, Cumberland, Atlantic) — challenging the federal ban, which could be resolved before the end of the year.

The hearing was held Monday before

the state Senate Economic Growth Committee, which Lesniak chairs. The bill’s sponsors, representatives of some city unions and several lobbyists for Internet gaming sites supported the bill, claiming that it would bring jobs, and ancillary revenues to the city and allow Atlantic City to become a national gambling hub.

“false hope” to city workers.

Lesniak, however, argued fervently that New Jersey voters would understand that the amendment alone would not create sports betting.

“Our voters are not stupid and not going to be taken in by any ‘false hope,’” Lesniak said. “This bill does not legalize something illegal. They know that.

Supporters of the bill claim that it would bring jobs, and ancillary revenues to the city and allow Atlantic City to become a national gambling hub.

“If you don’t think this bill would help Atlantic City, I suggest you try and see if you can book a room in Las Vegas tonight,” said Lesniak. “With [Monday night’s NCAA Championship game] there are no rooms. That city is packed and benefiting from their unfair exemption. That is money that could be coming into New Jersey.”

Opposition was light, but did include an objection from the National Football League, which has historically opposed sports betting, and Harrah’s Entertainment, which feels that the state should not act as long as the federal ban was in effect, saying it would provide

The simple fact is that Pennsylvania and Delaware do not have to amend their constitutions to put in sports betting. We do. If the ban is overturned, they could institute sports betting that very day.”

Van Drew, however, said he had toyed with the idea of moving to enact sports betting despite the ban.

“My position originally was to approve it and then let the federal government sue us,” he said. “But it’s clear that millions are spent on illegal gambling each year. The question is whether New Jersey can provide sports betting in an ethical and open manner that brings it into the sunlight. I think we can.”

Some other points from Monday’s meeting:

• NFL spokesman Timothy McDonough came under harsh criticism from committee members after objecting to the amendment. Whelan noted that the NFL’s broadcast partners often discuss spreads and betting lines and charged that the NFL’s stance is hypocritical.

Lesniak quipped, “Gambling and the NFL, perfect together.”

• Representatives of the greater Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce objected to the bill including racetracks, saying the State must protect its investment in Atlantic City. Whelan, however, said he found no support in the Legislature for excluding racetracks, an industry which is also struggling in the state.

• Several Internet lobbying firms stressed that Atlantic City could position itself to becoming a major player in the Internet gambling market. The state’s tough regulatory reputation is something that current providers would seek out as they seek to legitimize their industry in the U.S. Sports betting could be a first step (though other legislation would be needed), they said. If A.C. became a hub for Internet gaming, it could bring thousands of tech jobs to the city as well as substantial technological infrastructure improvements to the area, they said. n

O YOU’RE WATCHING TV AND your favourite rap star or real housewife is on, and they are getting an herbal massage and superstar treatment. Well, I’ve found out that now you can get a 100-percent spa treatment and a quality, professional, unique spa experience at prices even a freelance writer can afford.

Violet Mae’s Soul Spa is located in the penthouse area (20th floor) of the Lighthouse Apartments in Atlantic City.

I walked in and thought that I had somehow been transported to Beverly Hills. The waiting room, complete with tropical fish tank, looks like a page out of Essence magazine’s health-and-beauty department. The chairs are comfortable, and I would have fallen asleep if I wasn’t so excited about taking the tour.

The tour revealed that Violet Mae’s Spa offers everything one could wish for in regard to a day of comfortable, relaxing treatments and pampering. There are rooms where you can sit and have tea, enjoy the ocean view and get a full body massage. Ladies can not only have their hair done but also have their entire make-up needs tended to. Men, you can set an appointment for all of the spa treatments and also get your hair washed and cut professionally.

“Wow!” is the word I would use to describe the décor and offerings at Violet Mae’s, but it’s not just a spa. Violet Mae’s is set up to accommodate parties as diverse as wedding showers and girls’ nights (or days) out, to special events and fundraisers to the most intimate private programs.

My experience was fun, relaxing, exciting and professional. To offer more insight on how Violet Mae’s came to be, owner Jamillia Lawrence took time out to speak with me about her new vision that is now Atlantic City’s most enticing setting for service and grooming.

Who is Violet Mae? She was my great grandmother and her devotion to our family and her love of style and beauty was the inspiration for Violet Mae’s.

Why did you decide to open a spa instead of maybe just rent a chair at a salon?

Honestly, I was tired of the hair-salon

atmosphere in Atlantic City. Most places have a barber shop up front and the hair salon in the back. I wanted to work in a place that I would really want to come to and get a full treatment. I wanted a place where my clients could come and relax and where they would be excited about coming.

Is there a difference between a stylist and a hairdresser?

A stylist is always thinking fashion forward and not just always recreating someone else’s style. We can do that, but as stylists we can help you develop your own unique and professional look as well. Also, stylists do not stop at hair. We develop your total look including make up and skin care.

Your spa has a lot of what I expected but also has a lot of your own personal touches.

We offer everything you need in a spa.

We are unique in that we have the great ocean view. I could have built this spa anywhere but it’s important to me that people have a quality, reliable, professional-but-fun and relaxing place to come and be taken care of.

I was here for the grand opening and you had a wonderful party. What other special events can we look forward to?

On Friday, April 23, we will be having a wine tasting here. I also have a non-profit and we hosts fundraisers here for organizations such as the AIDS Alliance.

Violet Mae’s 300 Light House Plaza, Suite 2005, Atlantic Avenue in Atlantic City is open Tuesday through Saturday with Sunday appointments available. It is a wonderful location and setting for all types of private events and programs. For an appointment you can call Jamillia Lawrence at 517-9143. n

S A CAREER AND PERSONAL Brand Strategist, I frequently receive questions related to job searching. In writing this article, I pitched, “What’s a question that you’d like for me to answer related to job search” to my Facebook Fan Page and my Twitter stream. I received many questions and have recruited some of my colleagues to share their answers to some of these inquiries: The first question came from someone who follows me on Twitter and he asked if using job boards was a better strategy than utilizing a recruiter. I asked Jeff Lipschultz who is the Principal and Recruiter at A-List Solutions (www.alistsolutions.com) and also the recruiter I interviewed for my book, “I’m in a Job Search — Now What???” Here’s what Jeff recommended: “Job boards are not a substitute for using recruiters for positions that require specialized skills and experience. A job board can provide a long list of candidates who may be anywhere from not-atall qualified to slightly qualified to very qualified. Sorting through all the candidates can be a tough, time-consuming job. Many candidates may have special requirements (sponsorship, relocation, salary) that have to be assessed, too.

Good recruiters have vast networks that include potential ideal candidates, many of whom aren’t even actively looking for a job (ones you’d likely not find on a job board). They typically can provide quick results regardless of the type of job market we are experiencing. A recruiter who is partnered with a company can also filter through candidates to determine which would be a good “fit” for the company before interviews even start.

Unfortunately, in a tough market, job boards are even more loaded with folks who are NOT a good match for the job.

Additionally, many apply to jobs they are not qualified for leading to even more wasted effort by the resume reviewer.”

I advocate that when you are in a job Join us on Facebook:

search, you should only be applying for positions for which you are qualified to do and it’s up to you to make it clear to the employer why YOU are the best fit for the position in your career marketing material (i.e. resume’, cover letter, and so on). Many times I’ve talked with people and their strategy consists of applying to as many jobs as possible on a job board each day hoping that one will get the attention of a hiring manager. The problem with this strategy is that it is an unfocused approach and it demonstrates that the person is not customizing their career marketing material to show why they are the best fit for the position. It not only wastes time for the recruiter and hiring manager, but also for you because your time is better spent employing multiple strategies in your job search.

The next question was how do you overcome the challenges of being overqualified? Kathy Vandenburg of Prosperous Futures (www.kathvandenburg.com) suggested the following answer: If an employer mentions that you are overqualified, ask them what concerns they have about your qualifications. This will provide you with an opportunity to ease their concerns about you. Also, you can mention that you don’t mind taking a pay cut in order to work for an organization you highly respect.

Another question dealt with making it past the “gatekeeper” to get the attention of the hiring manager or recruiter.

Walter Akana of Threshold Consulting (www.threshold-consulting.com) gave this piece of advice: If you are actively engaged in a professional organization and find ways to contribute, you enhance your credibility and visibility. As well, you increase the chances for connecting with decision makers directly.

The last question I decided to address in this article dealt with career reinvention where a person wants to transition their skills and abilities to a different industry or field. Randi Bussin of Aspire see more online @

opening, it is critical to know your personal brand in an interview situation. How are you different than all of the people applying for job? Are you :fekXZk If^\eX expressing and exuding your personal brand in all your Xk -'0%-+-%+/+/ offline and online <ok )/ ]fi dfi\ communications, including your career `e]fidXk`fe% marketing materials (i.e. resumeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, cover letter, blog, and so on)?

I get this question a lotâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;who gets a personal brand? The answer isâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;everyone! You have a personal brand whether you like it or not. People form opinions of you based on your appearance, your knowledge, your office tools, etc.

However, is it the brand you want to exude? Personal branding sets you apart from your competitors and defines your target audience.

Personal branding takes you through a process to discover how others perceive you. One company offering personal branding consultation is Reach Communications (www.reachpersonalbranding.com). In this process, you discover how you compare to your competition and where you are uniquely different. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the unique differences and strengths that set you apart from everyone else.

In your Reach Personal Brand assessment and consulting / coaching process,

), 8 N<<B

you will uncover your top personas, your team role, strengths, and your leadership role. You will use this information to define your personal brand and paint a consistent story about who you are and how you can uniquely deliver your promise of value to a company. The information will help you create a branded resumeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a branded online and offline identity, and give you confidence in an interview because you know how you stand apart from your peers. You can take a free, 15-day 360 Personal Brand assessment at http://www.reachcc.com/360v4register.

What if you want to work for a corporation and strive to be an ambassador for the corporate brand? Is finding out your personal brand going to conflict with the corporate brand? The answer

SU_Press AssoAD_2010V2.qxp_Layout 1 3/8/10 8:38 AM Page 1

is a simple no. Knowing your personal brand inside a corporation helps you to leverage your strengths on projects and assignments thus making you a more desirable employee.

After youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve completed the personal branding work, you want to research the company prior to your interview.

Where can you find research information? LinkedIn, Hoovers, ZoomInfo, etc. are all great starting places. Did you know that when you search on LinkedIn for a company name, you can find out really powerful information for your job search?

For example, I searched on a major semi-conductor company. Most people know you are able to find out your connections who work for a company on LinkedIn. However, did you know that you can find out about mergers and acquisitions, career path for employees before and after their employment with a company, and so on? You can also scroll down and discover recent promotion and changes. Think about this oneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you are looking at possible openings that may or may not have been published as opportunities within the company. So, this is a great way to tap the hidden job market.

Conduct a SWOT analysis on the company to find out the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. As

phrase that can mean many different things. Reinvention can be an entirely new career, a role more aligned to your values, an entrepreneurial pursuit based upon a passion, or a retirement game plan. Or, it could simply be a change in industry or field, while still leveraging your existing strengths and skills.

Tips For Outling Your Résumé

(Continued from preceding page) you delve into this research, find out if the company is in a period of growth or a period of decline. For example, here’s one possible area where you might leverage your personal brand. Are you known for being a turnaround architect, growth catalyst, startup accelerator, etc.? If you are a turnaround architect, for example, pursuing a job in a company in a period of decline may be something to which you are attracted.

How can you prepare for questions that an interviewer might ask? Most questions fall within these six areas: 1. Rapport-building questions – the interviewer wants to see your water cooler personality.

2. Résumé-related questions – the interviewer may use this opportunity to gain further clarification on any part of your résumé.

3. Qualifications for the job in question – you can expect to be asked how your skills and abilities make you the perfect candidate for the job. Be sure to know the job posting well enough that you already can answer these questions.

4. Behavioral questions – my position on behavioral interviewing questions is to know your achievements like the back of your hand. Why? Because most behavioral interviewing questions are going to center around telling them about a time that you had to do xyz and what was the result. Think of different types of scenarios they could ask—maybe a time when you worked under stress, or a time when you disagreed with your boss and the outcome. Match your achievement stories with this type of scenarios.

5. Case/Situation questions – case questions might include giving you a current challenge the company is facing and asking you how you would solve it. If you’ve done the pre-interview research, you’ll be well prepared for these questions.

6. Personality questions – such as, if you could be a tree, what kind of a tree would you be and why? They are usually assessing how quickly you think on your feet.

Now, it’s your turn. The interviewer will ask you if you have any questions and you want to have formulated questions that you will ask based on your research and curiosity about the company. Thorough preparation is critical for success in your interviews. n Join us on Facebook:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

1) Contact Information – Name, Email, and Phone Number (list if it’s a cell or home number) 2) Title of the Position for which you are applying 3) Profile paragraph to show skills, abilities, and personal brand. Make sure these support the requirements for the position.

4) Achievement Highlights (select 2-3 achievements to highlight that support the job requirements).

5) Job History, reverse chronological order 6) Achievements (one to five) under each job position 7) Keywords – look at the job posting for nouns and noun phrases to make sure these words are interwoven on your resume’ if they relate to your skills and abilities 8) Education, Certifications, Professional Development, etc.

Common Types of Recruiters

Corporate recruiters are employed by a company to identify and qualify new employees for the organization.

Contingency recruiters don’t usually have an exclusive relationship with the company. Contingency recruiters are only paid a fee if the company hires a candidate discovered through that recruiter’s efforts.

Retained recruiters This service is usually reserved for management to executive level positions, or high value individual contributors and the company provides an upfront fee (retainer fee) to conduct the search.

Definition: Career Reinvention Career Reinvention can be an entirely new career, a role more aligned to your values, an entrepreneurial pursuit based upon a passion, or a retirement game plan. Or, it could simply be a change in industry or field, while still leveraging your existing strengths and skills.

38

April 17, World Middleweight Champion Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik returns to Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall on Saturday, April 17, to defend his titles against World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight champion Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez. Tickets range from $50 to $350; doors open at 6pm. Promoted

by Top Rank, in association with DiBella Entertainment and Caesars Atlantic City, Pavlik vs. Martinez will be broadcast live on HBO World Championship Boxing, beginning at 10pm.

Two years ago in Boardwalk Hall, Pavlik (36-1, 32 KOs), became World Boxing Organization (WBO) and the World Boxing Council (WBC) world champion by knocking out the previously undefeated and undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor. Pavlik defeated Taylor handily in their rematch in February 2008 to solidify his claim as one of boxing’s top pound for pound fighters and has since had three successful defenses, all by knockout, two of the wins coming against No. 1 contenders and mandatory challengers. His only loss came at the hands of Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins in a non-title fight on Oct. 18, 2008 at Boardwalk Hall.

Martinez (44-2-2, 24 KOs), a native of Argentina who fights out of Madrid, Spain, first made his presence known to the boxing world in 2007 by knocking out Saul Roman (27-2) in the fourth round of their WBC super welterweight title elimination bout. One year later, Martinez captured the WBC interim super welterweight title with an eighthround stoppage of Alex Bunema. He was elevated to WBC world super welterweight champion in the latter half of 2009. In his last fight, he lost a highly disputed 12-round majority decision to former world champions Paul Williams, in a non-title middleweight bout, ending Martinez’s 10-year, 29-bout unbeaten streak.

April 16-18, Theatre at Trump Plaza Touring nationally as Winter Dance Party, Rock n’ Roll Will Never Die, A tribute to Buddy Holly performed by John Mueller, Ritchie Valens by David Angel and The Big Bopper by Jay P. Richardson will be in the Theatre at Trump Plaza April 16-18. Showtimes are Friday at 9pm; Saturday at 3 and 8pm and Sunday at 7pm. Tickets are $25.

John Mueller has entertained audiences throughout North America in rock and roll performances and portrayals of Buddy Holly. He has also starred as Buddy Holly in the world stage premiere of Be Bop a Lula in Hollywood, and he won a Drama Desk Award for his portrayal of Buddy in the production of Buddy…The Buddy Holly Story. Ray Anthony’s tribute has been endorsed by Ritchie Valens’ family, who often come to see him perform, and is in regular contact with Bob Morales, Ritchie’s half brother. Jay P. Richardson, the son of the original Big Bopper, will pay tribute to his father.

On stage, he goes by the name Big Bopper Jr. He was born 84 days after his father died in the fatal plane crash in Iowa in 1959. n

Rating Chef Shows

From Bourdain to Batali, television now has a kitchen full of culinary stars.

By Frank Gabriel

T

HE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE of a snowy, relentless winter and its rain-soaked aftermath of early spring has been countless hours hunkered down indoors.

Filling much of my misspent time was televised food/restaurant programming.

Thusly, a few thoughts and comments about the current state of the culinary visual medium.

Start at the top, with the best of the bunch.

Avic Eric on PBS. Well-informed food folks have embraced celebrated French native Eric Ripert — of NYC’s famed Le Bernardin — as perhaps the world’s finest chef for quite some time. His thoughtful contributions to other shows, notably Bravo’s Top Chef, precipitated hosting this weekly Public Broadcasting gem.

Equal parts travelogue, opinion and technical instruction, Avic Eric shines both in content as well as production value.

Top Chef on Bravo. With the debut of spin-off Top Chef Masters Season Two this month, there is no better time to recognize TC, entering its seventh campaign. We felt the franchise slipped a bit in its fifth season, but last season’s brilliant finalists reversed that downward trend. Easily the best assembled to date, TC6 added the compelling drama of two gifted, competitive brothers, Michael and Bryan Voltaggio, doing a kitchen take on Cain and Abel. Sultry hostess Padma Lakshmi possesses true star quality, coupled with a superb, discriminating palate.

Now, if we can just wipe that constant smirk of disapproval from knowledgeable

lead judge Tom Colicchio’s face, please?

second splendid, answering questions, dishing glorious food and pithy remarks in equal portions. For those uninitiated about on the bombastic former foot- in Italian food and culture, his show balling Scot. Initially, we despised his serves as an ideal intro course, a primer antics, found them at best unprofession- with panache. al, and at the worst, downright phony.

Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations on Watching earlier BBC shows actually The Travel Channel. Ever since Kitchen helped change that. Particularly, Ramsey’s Confidential ripped the lid off the indusearnest insistence that his brood of chil- try’s best-kept secrets, New Jersey native dren understand from whence their food Bourdain has been trying to outdo him-

— read: meat — originates. This meant the family learning together about animal husbandry, raising lambs and turkeys in their back yard. We have to say; watching Ramsey turn away and quietly weep in the British abattoir, which was those lambs final destination showed the chef possesses not just chutzpah, but remarkable tenderness. Well done, mate.

Molto Mario on Fine Living Network.

If asked for one final meal prepared by anyone on the planet, we would without hesitation select the burly Batali, also appearing on the Food Network’s deeply-flawed Iron Chef America. The format of Molto is simple, Mario and three friends hanging out in the kitchen while he serves up a multi-course feast.

The larger-than-life chef makes every

peers. Plus, he regularly wears a T-shirt on camera emblazoned with local food Mecca Cape May. Now, the bottom of the barrel.

Food Wars on Travel Channel. A fine concept gone terribly awry. Blindfolded testers sample and pronounce judgment on local cooking rivalries nationwide.

So far, so good. The problem? A foolish format, which provides tasters only ridiculous, limited quantities with which to work. Case in point: a Buffalo wing contest decided by eating only one tiny drumstick. Are you kidding me?

Iron Chef America on Food Network.

Maybe we’re jaundiced by our early infatuation with the original Japanese program. We think that the Food Network’s follow-up, despite an infusion of star self, continually pushing the envelope chef power, remains a triumph of style of acceptable on-camera behavior.

The Rat Pack Gives Way There once was a ‘classic’ casino entertainer, but as they age, they’ve given over casino showrooms to the stuff the ‘kids’ were listening to.

By Michael Pritchard

T

A P R I L 8 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

HERE WAS A TIME WHEN A look through the entertainment listings for Atlantic City casinos — or for that matter, Las Vegas casinos — was as predictable and steady as a Tony Bennett ballad or Alan King reading the obituaries on stage.

The question was never if Humperdink, Goulet, Dangerfield or Rickles was in town.

The question was which one was in town.

They were the heavyweights of the casino showroom. There were the crooners such as Bennett, Humperdink and Bobby Vinton. There were the energetic dancers such as Ann-Margret, Joey Heatherton or Lola Falana. And there was the Rat Pack. In fact, for casino entertainers, it began and ended with Frank, Dean and Sammy.

These entertainers carried with them a certain image and style that said casino — glitzy production numbers, tuxedoed singers with drinks in hands, comics with a Vaudeville vibe.

But looking through the list of casino acts lined up for this summer, it’s pretty clear that The Rat Pack era is dead and gone, replaced by the very acts that the “kids” were listening to when Frank, Dean and Sammy ruled.

Over the next few months, Atlantic City will see acts such as the Doobie Bros., Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire; all dominant acts of the 1960s and ’70s, but now staples at Atlantic City casinos. As for comics, the casino lineup once dominated by Dangerfield, Rickles and Henny Youngman is now owned by Dennis Leary, Tracy Morgan and Brad Garrett.

Casino acts now are an eclectic mix of baby-boomer acts that topped the charts or gained their fames in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. The type of act that dominated casinos while these current acts came of age have slowly, but steadily been fading away.

“I’m not sure that any act today really qualifies as a ‘casino’ act,” says AC Weekly’s own David Spatz, longtime writer covering Atlantic City’s casino scene.

“In the old days it was Sinatra, Deano and Sammy. But part of that dominance was that they would sign long-term contracts where they would appear for three, maybe five times over two weeks. You still

“It’s pretty clear that The Rat Pack era is dead and gone, replaced by the very acts that the ‘kids’ were listening to.”

From Rat Pack (above) to Lady Gaga (right), things surely have changed over the years. have Frankie Valli, who [just] appeared three nights in a row at the Borgata, but really that’s almost unheard of now.”

In fact, most casino acts these days are kind of hit and run, with a single show, though they may come back several times a year.

Still, the wave of entertainers hitting the resort this summer represent two developments in the casino’s philosophy when booking entertainers. First, the acts coming to town are now clearly targeting baby boomers, and even then, younger boomers.

“The more traditional acts can still certainly draw a crowd,” says Tina Belluscio, director of entertainment for Resorts and the A.C. Hilton. “But a lot of things have changed for Atlantic City. It’s driven by the increased competition and the smoking ban and a lot of factors. It really is a different ball game now. The baby boomers still come to city and they’re the demographic we’re pursuing. We’re looking to attract that 35 to 55 year old market. The city has come full circle and we’re past what was traditional in the ’50s and ’60s.

But we do want an entertainment selec-

tion that appeals to everyone.”

Which is why a few traditional acts still find success in the casino showrooms, such as Joan Rivers, who will appear at the Hilton on April 24.

“Joan Rivers, in particular, still thrives because she brings in a very young crowd,” Belluscio says. “And that’s true of an act like Don Rickles, who also has an appeal to younger audiences. A singer like Englebert Humperdink though, he’s a little more traditional in his audience.”

Still Humperdink appeared in A.C. this winter at Trump Plaza.

The second great change, however, seems to have come directly from the threat of Pennsylvania casinos and in other markets. Without a clear advantage in gaming, almost universally, the city’s casinos are turning to ancillary offerings such as spas, restaurants and most importantly entertainment to attract crowds.

Gone are the days when casinos held back show tickets and rooms just for gambler’s comps.

And that has changed the type of act that wants to play casinos.

“A lot of entertainers hated playing

Atlantic City, because if they were playing 1,000-seat room, it could be half empty,” says Spatz. “The casinos held on to those tickets for gamblers who may or may not have appeared. But that changed when the Borgata opened. They emphasized entertainment and now more tickets are available to the public. The rooms are full, the entertainers are happier. It’s been a real change.”

And it’s a change the city needed.

“This isn’t just a change in philosophy, it’s a necessity,” Belluscio says.

“There was a time in the city when a room was just papered over with comps.

We’d comp everything and we didn’t care if the players spent money anywhere else. That’s gone. The gambling market has changed. We need people to go to the shows and the restaurants and fill out the hotel rooms. That’s what spurs on the city now.”

Of course there is one other factor that has forced out the old-time casino acts — time. The Rat Packers have left us, as have many great casino comedians such as King, Dangerfield and Buddy Hackett.

In one sense, however, classic bands like the Doobie Bros., the Beach Boys or Chicago are more resilient. Bands that play for decades have numerous changeovers in their line-ups and continue even if band members pass away. Chicago, an eight-member band, now sports only four original members. Some acts can even get down to one or two.

Still, these acts have become a backbone as the city attempts to bring in more current acts such as Lady Gaga on July 4 and Jordin Sparks this month. But instead of Englebert, Rodney and Tony, you get Jethro Tull, the Steve Miller Band and Weird AL Yankovic.

When you think about it, it’s still classic entertainment. n see more online @

Caesars Tennis Classic

Where: Boardwalk Hall When: Saturday, April 10, 7:30pm How Much: $25-$175, $250 for VIP Hospitality Package

TENNIS AT BOARDWALK HALL

World class tennis players have visited Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall before. In 1985’s “The Challenge” tennis match, Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver defeated Bobby Riggs (the tennis hustler famous for losing to Billie Jean King in 1973) and Vitas Gerulaitis in a double match set.

In 1995, tennis champion Monica Seles made her professional return to tennis on July 29 in an exhibition match against Martina Navratilova entitled “Return of The Champions.” It was a major deal at the time because Seles had not played following an on-court attack in which a German spectator stabbed her in the back in 1993. In 1996, Seles was back at Boardwalk Hall to participate in the Fed Cup, the female version of the Davis Cup world team event. The U.S. defeated Spain 5-0 to win the title. This was Seles’ official return to competitive tennis.

IG-NAME SPORTING EVENTS provide a jolt of excitement and a younger crowd when they take place in Atlantic City. High-profile boxing matches have always top-lined the sporting world in town (Pavlik vs.

Martinez April 17 should prove that point), but other sporting events are also excellent for the town’s bottom line.

The recent Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Championship at Boardwalk Hall did very well. The continued explosion of mixed-martial arts has also been a major factor in A.C.’s sporting scene.

Now Harrah’s Entertainment, Caesars Atlantic City and StarGames are bringing former and current tennis superstars together for a series of exhibition matches in the Caesars Tennis Classic taking place at Boardwalk Hall Saturday, April 10.

This isn’t the first time big-name tennis stars have appeared in town, but it is the first time a tennis exhibition of this magnitude has been in Atlantic City since 1996.

U.S. Davis Cup star James Blake withdrew from the competition yesterday (April 7) due to a knee injury. The format of the exhibition, hosted by two-time U.S. Open and five-time Wimbledon Champion Venus Williams, will now feature three-time U.S. Open Champion Ivan Lendl going up against former nem-

esis and 1988 U.S. Open Champion Mats Wilander. This match will be Lendl’s first since his 1994 retirement. Lendl reached the finals of the U.S. Open a record eight years in a row from 1982-1989.

Because of the Blake injury, the format has been changed for the rest of event. Following the opening match, the exhibition will have a round-robin format showcasing 14-time Grand Slam men’s singles champion Pete Sampras up against 2000 U.S. Open Champion Marat Safin, followed by Andy Roddick facing Sampras, and finally, Roddick versus Safin.

Roddick is the top-ranked American male tennis player in the world, currently ranked No. 7. He is coming into town off a big win in the Sony Ericsson Open last weekend. He beat No. 4 ranked Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals to reach the championship.

Sampras was one of the greatest champions ever in the sport, winning 14 Grand Slam men’s singles titles, including some amazing matches with his archrival Andre Agassi.

Sampras was only 32 when he retired in 2003 and he has played in numerous exhibition matches since his retirement, including several matches against the world’s top ranked played,

Roger Federer.

Acting as the host for the event will be Venus Williams, currently ranked No. 5 in the world.

Don Marrandino, eastern division president of Harrah’s Entertainment, explains why he thinks the event is a good fit for Atlantic City. “I think the fact that tennis hasn’t been in Atlantic City for over a decade is a perfect reason for Harrah’s Entertainment to bring it to Boardwalk Hall. I’ve said since I returned to Atlantic City that entertainment and sports entertainment need to play a larger role if the city is to realize its full potential. The Caesars Tennis Classic will be an amazing event, and will provide a chance for our guests not only to

see these athletes in action, but to get up close and personal with some of the biggest names in tennis.”

Besides the matches, the Caesars Tennis Village will take place in the Caesars Palladium Ballroom, open Friday, April 9, 5-9pm, and Saturday, April 10, noon-6pm. The Village will let fans see the latest in tennis equipment and fashion, with some of the tennis stars expected to appear. There is also a “30-Love” official pre-tournament party Saturday, 3-6pm, at The Continental at the Pier Shops at Caesars.

And, following the event, there will be a Caesars Tennis Classic After Party at the casino’s Dusk nightclub with music

by Morse Code and DJ Sat One. n

IVAN LENDL’S RETURN

Ivan Lendl, now 49, was forced to retire from tennis in 1994, at age 34, because of a bad back. He switched to golf (he plays lefty), was good enough to win several celebrity golf events and started his own Ivan Lendl Celebrity Golf Tournament. He is making his official return to tennis at the Caesars Classic and spoke to Atlantic City Weekly about why he is back. “I started training in October of 2008, when my back had gotten better and I could train,” he says. “In the back of my mind when I started training, I realized I do enjoy it when I don’t have to play every day; three or four times a week is enough. I’ve very happy with my conditioning.”

Since he has worked hard to get into tennis shape, Lendl explains that the Caesars Tennis Classic will not be his only tennis match. “I’ve signed up for a couple of events in the fall,” he says. “I enjoy playing and I’m looking forward to the event in Atlantic City.”

BUYERS DID YOU KNOW?

The Fed is anticipated to withdraw its support of mortgage backed securities later this spring. Experts predict that this will cause a rise in interest rates.

Considering the fact that if rates were to rise by as little as one percent, prices would need to fall as much as 10.5% just for the Principal & Interest payment to remain constant with what could be borrowed at todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rates, now is the time to take advantage of the Perfect Storm Conditions of:

Clash of the Titans

Olympic Games

‘Clash of the Titans’ part of genre revival for sword ’n’ sandals flicks

By Lori Hoffman

I

T’S INTERESTING HOW A DORMANT movie genre suddenly reappears.

Musicals and westerns have both had revivals in the last decade, with varying degrees of success — Chicago, yes, Nine, not so much. The Coen brothers are doing a remake of the classic ’60s western True Grit for release next Christmas.

While I hate to admit it, it looks like video games and graphic novels are at least a contributing factor to the sudden influx of sword and sandals fantasy flicks. Although I didn’t care that much for 300, its success started the current new wave of movies about Vikings and dragons, Olympic gods and men, and coming soon, based on the video game, Prince of Persia.

In February, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief kicked off the genre revival featuring Olympic gods and their demi-god offspring mixing it up, although this movie was more Harry Potter than Ray Harryhausen, and a weak Clash of the Titans HHHH Directed by Louis Leterrier; rated PG-13

HHHH The Last Song Directed by Julie Anne Robinson; rated PG

knockoff at that. Next up was the delightful animated film How to Train Your Dragon, which had Viking warriors, adorable dragons and a hero trying to make peace between the two.

This past week brought the remake of Clash of the Titans, based on a 1968 stopanimation classic by Harryhausen. For the children of the 1960s, Harryhausen was the stop-animation genius who created the memorable monsters we loved at Saturday afternoon matinees. I still have a fondness for Jason and the Argonauts (1963), especially the children of the Hydra’s teeth, Harryhausen’s army of skeletons’ battle that is often cited as the best stop-animation sequence ever. Clash of the Titans was another of his best films.

In the genre of Saturday-afternoon popcorn-fantasy films, the new Clash isn’t half bad. Avatar’s Sam Worthington is the hot action hero of the moment and he shows why as the honorable and angry Perseus, a humble Greek fisherman who loses his adopted family in a storm created by the god Hades (Ralph Fiennes). Perseus swears vengeance on the gods, then finds out he is a demigod, the son of a human female and Zeus (Liam Neeson), the ruler of the gods and Olympic lightning bolt tosser. The news

of his lineage does not stop his quest, but it does explain why Zeus gives him a little help along the way.

While the new Clash of the Titans can’t recreate the charm of the Harryhausen original, it makes full use of modern CGI technology to create some pretty amazing monsters; I loved the jumbo scorpions, which brought back fond memories of giant insect monster movies like Them!

Worthington is certainly a major upgrade from Harry Hamlin, who played Perseus in the original, and Mads Mikkelsen (best known for his performance as the bad guy with the blooddripping eye in Casino Royale), is terrific as the veteran soldier who teaches Perseus how to fight. Director Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk, Transporter 2) knows how to integrate fight scenes with the CGI and that’s the main skill you need to pull off a popcorn fantasy flick.

In a genre whose expectations are straightforward, Clash of the Titans delivers the fun.

sure knows how to make a tearjerker, with his mix of first love, followed by a family tragedy (usually death by cancer) that has to be overcome. Movies made from his books often have their nice moments and their moments where the sentimentality goes overboard. Miley Cyrus, who stars in The Last Song, still needs seasoning as an actress, but she doesn’t embarrass herself as the teen heroine who falls for a likeable rich kid (played by the talented Liam Hemsworth), during the summer when she and her little brother (Bobby Coleman) go to live with dad (Greg Kinnear) who has a secret (see cancer reference above). The Last Song is classic Sparks, meaning you know going in what to expect. n To read more about movies and other topics covered by movie critic Lori Hoffman visit the ‘Atlantic City Central’ blog at http://blog.acweekly.com/
