PINKY’S CORNER

Good Start to Summer

By Pinky Kravitz

T

HE WALL STREET JOURNAL, A NEWSPAPER with a circulation of over two million, ran a very positive story about Atlantic City’s forthcoming summer. It was written by Maya Pope-Chappell. The following are excerpts from the story.

“Over the past five to seven years, about $2 billion has been invested in mostly non-gambling amenities such as retail, dining and entertainment, said Jeff Vasser, executive director of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority.

‘Gaming is no longer what’s going to do it for us,’ said Vasser.

This summer, the city is introducing many new attractions and entertainment. A new seafood restaurant, FIN, just opened at the Tropicana. The Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival will be held from July 29 to Aug. 1, sponsored by the Food Network, and some of the music industry’s top acts such as Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas will perform at Boardwalk Hall. Conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck and former President Bill Clinton will headline the Hilton’s Summer Speaker Series, on June 24 and July 23 respectively.

Even getting to Atlantic City has gotten easier. The Atlantic City Express Service, known as ACES, has four-car weekendonly express trains, which [leave] Friday from Penn Station and [start] at $29 one way. After arriving in Atlantic City, festivities can begin immediately. At the newly opened Chelsea the city’s only non-gambling boutique hotel, guests can relax at the Sea Spa or take a dip in the saltwater pool and Jacuzzi.

A short walk from the hotel is a chance to take advantage of New Jersey’s tax-free shopping on clothing. The Pier Shops at Caesars or The Walk, an outlet strip mall, are the city’s main shopping areas. Each of the casino hotels offers restaurants with the usual buffets and gourmet fare. But one new option is the Viking Cooking School, at Harrah’s Resort.

“To unwind, many hang out at Shoreline bars such as the new Sammy Hagar’s Beach Bar, at Bally’s. Bikini-clad waitresses serve a variety of cocktails, beers or 24-ounce yard glasses. Once night falls, parties abound: The Pool After Dark, at Harrah’s, and C5 at the Chelsea are the city’s premier spots. In this city by the sea, there is always the beach or biking along the [Boardwalk], which has a bevy of shops. At the Steel Pier amusement park, a new ride, the spinning drop tower, will be unveiled this summer.

Elaine McCarthy, who sipped a margarita at Bally’s beach bar, said she’s been coming to Atlantic City since she was a child. Miss McCarthy said, ‘It’s been built up tremendously.

I have bad memories of Atlantic City. It was very run down.

Old, beat up. It’s amazing what happened here.’”

We had previously noted that the billboards are jointly owned by Pinnacle Entertainment and the Schiff Brothers. Permission was granted to get a nonprofit organization to put up a sign on each of those boards.

The request was made to the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority to provide the $4,600 necessary to make vinyl coverings and have them installed.

I am happy to inform you that next week those boards will be covered with a message about Atlantic City. Concerns were also raised about the large billboards on the Central Pier. Bob and Abe Schiff, the brothers who own the pier, told me that they are currently cleaning them with white paint. They said that if they are not rented within the next couple of weeks, they would grant permission to have the boards covered with signs promoting Atlantic City. We thank Pinnacle Entertainment and the Schiff brothers for their cooperation in helping to clean up Atlantic City.

I also spoke with Atlantic City’s Solicitor Bruce Ward and his deputy, Irv Jacoby, about coming up with an ordinance stating that if a billboard is empty for 30 days, with no immediate sign of being rented, it would be made available to the city or a non-profit organization until such time as it is rented. Councilmen Frank Gilliam and Moisse Delgado have expressed interest in sponsoring this ordinance. Hopefully, all the billboards in this city will be rented, but if they remain empty, they need to be covered.

Atlantic City Solstice Parade

The inaugural Atlantic City Summer Solstice Parade will be held on Saturday, June 26, starting at 1pm. It will feature colorful floats and costumed ensembles marching down the Boardwalk from Garden Pier to Albany Avenue. Parade participants include floats, Ms, New Jersey Senior America 2010, a float featuring Polynesian drummers and dancers, the Hegeman String Band, Miss’d America 2010, rolling chairs with celebrities, the South New Jersey Council of Boy Scouts of America, Resorts Boogie Nights’ dancers and many more. Following the parade participants are invited to enjoy Atlantic City’s free beaches and various Summer Solstice-themed events at Atlantic City’s beach bars.

Similar festivals and parades take place throughout the country and emphasize body painting and other forms of creative artistry done in the spirit of the event.

Now, Atlantic City joins the tradition with the inaugural Atlantic City Summer Solstice Parade, which will have a Carnivale theme. You are all welcome to view That kind of publicity is certainly a nice way to start the parade or participate by joining in the march. n the summer.

Empty Billboards

The Atlantic City Boardwalk Committee expressed its concern about empty billboards throughout the community. It is distressing to see them as it provides a negative view of the city’s business activities. It was decided that something needed to be done.

There were two billboards on top of the peanut store at Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard and the Boardwalk.

Janiva Magness Kicks off Beach Concert Series

The 18th annual Concerts on the Beach series in Somers Point kicks off Friday night (June 18) with Alligator Records artist Janiva Magness. The awardwinning blues and soul vocalist, whose latest album, The Devil Is an Angel Too, has been hailed by USA Today as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stunningly sung,â&#x20AC;? adding that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magness is a blues star,â&#x20AC;? has had a long ride to star status. A troubled childhood included the suicides of both her parents by the time she was 16, living on the streets for a time and becoming a teenage mother at 17. After sneaking into an Otis Rush show in Minnesota, Magness found her calling. Her latest album is her ninth overall and includes original, hard-edged blues tunes as well as songs by top-notch artists such as Nick Lowe, Graham Parker, Gladys Knight and Joe Tex. The Friday night concert series is free and takes place from 7-9pm through Sept. 10. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jeff Schwachter

One of the best albums of 2010 thus far, and one of the most creative, with a psychedelic blues sound stirred up by the duo from Akron, Ohio. The dudesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best effort yet.

Next weekend, on June 26, the first Atlantic City Summer Solstice Parade will kick off the beginning of the summer on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. Many casinos and organizations will be participating and celebrating, so make sure to come out and be a part of the festivities.

With a Carnivale theme, you’ll be sure to see a colorful selection of floats, costumes and people as well as top-notch entertainment. Plus, there are still opportunities to walk in the parade; check out acsolsticeparade.com for more information.

For those of you who are looking forward to seeing the fantastic free fireworks in Atlantic City for the July 4 weekend, the first display will take place on Friday, July 2, near The Pier Shops at Caesars. On July 4, the fireworks in Atlantic City will happen near the Marina district.

Off the island there are some other great free things to attend.

One is the 24th annual Red, White & Blueberry Festival in Hammonton at the Hammonton High School, which takes place on June 27 from 10am-5pm. It’s free admission and parking. Also, in a couple of weeks over in Margate, you’ll have the opportunity to celebrate Lucy the Elephant’s 129th birthday on July 18 from 10am-7pm. And, if you have talent and want to show it off, every Sunday at Sam’s Bar and Grill in Pleasantville you can be a part of Ray Tyler’s Soul Connection open mike night starting at 7pm.

There are so many great, fun, free, inexpensive things to do in and around Atlantic City. You can find most by checking out acweekly.com.

UMMER IS FINALLY UPON us and I know we’re excited to get some sun and have some fun. But these days, it’s not always easy due to financial woes and time constraints.

Well, I’m here to tell you that we have some of the best sights, beaches, events, and happenings right in the Atlantic City area and guess what? Some are even free!

First of all, what would summer be without going to the beach? In case you didn’t know, Atlantic City beaches are free. How cool is that? No hassling with going and getting badges or having the agenda of trying to hide from the beach patrol. Depending on where you park, you will probably have to pay, but it will definitely be worth your trip with the casinos, Boardwalk and other Atlantic City attractions nearby. Especially if you plan on going from one casino to another, you can take your parking receipt from your first place and use that as payment for the next place. All casinos participate.

While you are in Atlantic City, you can check out the Atlantic City Historical Museum located on the Boardwalk at New Jersey Avenue on the Garden Pier.

The museum is filled with many historical pieces that represent old Atlantic City and it’s open from 10am-4pm. All this with free admission and parking; how can you beat that?

Have you seen the water show yet at The Pier Shops at Caesars? Inside, toward the ocean end of the building, you can see this show every hour on the hour.

The free show lasts six minutes and is open to the public.

Another free show takes place at Showboat as the Mardi-Gras themed casino presents three free parades daily every Wednesday through Sunday at 3:30, 6 and 8pm.

If you’re into people watching, there are some great beach bars off the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, such as the Hilton Beach Bar, the new Sammy’s Beach Bar at Bally’s, The Beach Bar at Trump Plaza and The Deck at the Trump Marina. Plus, every Friday night through Labor Day you can be entertained right on the Boardwalk outside of Resorts with the retro disco party “Boogie on the Boardwalk,” hosted by the popular ’70s and ’80s nightclub Boogie Nights. Festivities go from 5-9pm and it’s free.

Ventnor’s Malelani Café hosts an open-mike night every Saturday and live music most Wednesday and Friday nights

HEN IT DEBUTED ABOUT A year ago, and about a block in from the beach in Ventnor, Malelani Café drew rave reviews for its Greek-influenced fare, heart-healthy salad bar, and plethora of superior coffee drinks and signature beverages.

The café has also become known as a sort of haven for artistically oriented creative expression, particularly since Bobby Antosca got the green light from the owners, the Drakopoulos family, to operate a weekly open-mike night back

Local punk legend Malcolm Tent (left) and Bob & Mike are among the local artists finding

come through here back in January and we still had a full house in here on a Saturday night. That was the determining factor to me. That’s when I knew that everything was just going to break loose when the summer came.” in September. So well was that received The open-mike night is Saturday of that occasional live music became a café each week starting around 7pm, and staple in November. can include anything from music to “Back in November I presented my idea reciting poetry, doing stand-up com[for live music] to the family, and I think when they saw that I was serious about edy, telling stories or performing spoken what I wanted to achieve they were very word. Musicians sign up at the cafe to accommodating,” says Antosca. “I just play most Wednesday and Friday nights came in with all my equipment and little starting 7pm, and are open to any genre by little started thinking of ideas and “as long as it’s not too overpowering.”

Melding a number of instrumental skills, how to implement them.

“Everything’s been building and build- Antosca sort of serves as a house musiing,” he says. “I mean, we had some real- cian where needed, and sometimes perly bad winter nights [weather-wise] and forms solo or as part of a duo with bass the place was packed. We had a hurricane player Mike Conti.

“When people got wind of what we were doing Wednesdays, the calendar filled up so quickly that I talked with the owners [Dmitri and Cecelia Drakopoulos, their children George and Maxi, and George’s wife Fernanda] and asked if it was alright to do Fridays too and they said sure,” says Antosca. “There’s also a young guy here named Dylan whose been involved since the family opened it, and I put him in charge of getting video footage of everything. We got him an editing program and he’s been putting some of the videos [on YouTube], and now that school’s out and some of his other activities are over for him, he’s really going to try to do even more of that.”

Antosca says the idea is to just get people to come in and relax and enjoy themselves.

“They just have to have a desire to come up and express themselves in whatever way they prefer — that’s what this is all about. It’s a support issue for people.

My job is to encourage everybody and — as a 48-year-old who’s been playing music since age 11 — just try to give them the wisdom of my years in a way that serves as positive encouragement.

“I have a great, great passion for music

specifically, but art in general, and I just love to see people grow,” he adds. “Since I have so many years of this under my belt and have accumulated a lot of life’s lessons, I just saw this is a door that opened as a chance to give something back. When you get that kind of opportunity, you can’t not take advantage.” n

Two recent events promoted family, community and fun in Pleasantville and Atlantic City.

T

HERE WAS A TIME WHEN Saturday mornings meant cartoons, kung-fu theater and then outside to “play fight,” play tag, race or grab a ball. With the rise of video games and computers I just don’t see kids playing like they used to. So you might call last Saturday’s PATH (Positive Achievement Through Hard Work) Summer Jump-Off basketball game a bit of a throwback.

The event brought over 300 people (moms, dads, kids, coaches and community members) to Pleasantville High School for outdoor basketball. The JumpOff started at 11am and the sponsors provided a spotlight for several all-star and pickup games. However, there was

much more to it than just playing ball and getting exercise.

Everyone was treated to free food and give-a-ways all day. There were also guest speakers who dropped by to share words of wisdom and encourage the kids to have a safe summer. The speakers also encouraged the youth to continue to make healthy choices — from staying active to developing a love of reading to being more active in community events.

Organizer William Burch explained that while the event was indeed about basketball, unity and community pride was also a big part of it.

“We wanted to do an activity that would bring Atlantic City and Pleasantville together for some fun,” Burch says. “So we decided that since Pleasantville High School was building these new courts we would break them in.”

The organized games of the day involved children ages 12 to 17, and there were also a few pick-up games among older folks. According to Burch, his group PATH is already working on the next event for later in the summer, and likely to take place somewhere in Atlantic City. Burch hopes the events will continue through the summer and rotate between Pleasantville and Atlantic City.

Juneteenth Celebration

I would have loved to stay and enjoy a whole day of outdoor hoops, but I was asked to be a guest speaker/poet at the Community Baptist Church’s second annual Juneteenth Celebration last Saturday. Quick history: Juneteenth celebrates the announcement of slavery ending in the state of Texas. Once a staunch confederate state, Texas agreed to end human slavery with the hope that legalized slavery would be sure to end nationwide. The date of the announcement was June 19, 1865. According to Wikipedia, more than 30 states in America presently celebrate June 19 as a state holiday.

Last Saturday in A.C., the Community Baptist Church celebrated Juneteenth with an outdoor festival with food, performances, speakers and great information for the whole community. According to organizer Marion Torian, “Community Baptist celebrates black history year-round.”

Juneteenth is a celebration that is not only fun, but inspires the celebrators to learn about freedom and the sacrifices made from various cultures, and their own struggles with human rights.

This year the Juneteenth celebration focused on young people involved in freedom. Inside the church’s Fellowship Hall, attendees could view the made-forTV film Freedom Song, which dramatized the teens who played important but often forgotten roles in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Outside the church, several drum corps and drill teams showed their skills and discipline.

For more information about the next black history event coming to Community Baptist Church, call 344-8411. n

to the Atlantic City Hilton on Saturday (June 19), broke into the business as a high school senior in 1976, when syndicated radio host Dr. Demento played one of Yankovicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home-recorded song parodies for his national audience.

By the time he graduated college four years later, Yankovic had already written his tongue-in-cheek spoofs of The Knackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Sharonaâ&#x20AC;? (which became â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Bolognaâ&#x20AC;?) and Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another One Bites the Dustâ&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another One Rides the Busâ&#x20AC;?). With more of a boost from Dr. Demento, Yankovic was on a fast track to the top of the charts.

Song parodies of Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beat Itâ&#x20AC;? (which became â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eat Itâ&#x20AC;?) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Badâ&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fatâ&#x20AC;?) proved Yankovic wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a one-and-done artist and was in it for the long haul.

In spite of his success as a gold and multi-platinum recording artist, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still one honor thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s escaped him: enshrinement in the Rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. In spite of a massive push by his fans since 2004, the first year he was eligible to be voted into the Hall, Yankovic still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been nominated.

He does acknowledge that he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reject the honor if it came along. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me put it this way: if some other accordion-playing song parody artist gets into the rock hall, I will not be happy,â&#x20AC;? he offers with a laugh. But Yankovic says he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold his breath waiting for a call from the Hall. He has a pretty good idea why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been nominated, and it has nothing to do with music: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kind of donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever gonna happen,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the Hall has enough of a sense of humor to let that happen.â&#x20AC;?

If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one consistency in Yankovicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the inability for people to categorize him. And he prefers it that way, thank you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember when they used to have record stores?â&#x20AC;? he asks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They never knew how to rack me back them. Do they put me in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;comedy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; do they put me in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rock,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; do they put me in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;miscellaneousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been easy to pin down.â&#x20AC;? n

HE HANDWRITING MAY BE ON the wall, but Weird Al Yankovic isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite ready to throw in the towel. The most inventive and successful song parodist of the rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll era is still squeezing his accordion and writing wacky songs, making albums, directing videos and touring the world with his live show.

But his days of always being first to strike a funny bone with his clever spoofs of popular songs are coming to an end.

The modern technology that made Weird Al a star â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for him, it was terrestrial syndicated radio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has, three decades later, knocked him from his pedestal, only now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the far-reaching global power of Internet file-sharing services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Web sites like] YouTube are making it easy for anybody to do parodies and put them up there, which is great,â&#x20AC;? Yankovic tells AC Weekly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Except that it means I will never again be the first person to parody a particular song. By the time I get an idea for a song, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be 20 other people that already have a YouTube video up.â&#x20AC;?

But after selling tens of millions of singles and albums and winning three Grammys and scoring 11 nominations, Yankovic, 50, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to let the pressure from competition change the way he approaches his work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still do what I do and hopefully Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the best at it,â&#x20AC;? he says with a slightly sardonic laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I will never again be unique in it.â&#x20AC;?

During a phone call from his Los Angeles home prior to a band rehearsal, Yankovic admits the changes in the music business since he started out in the late 1970s have made writing his song parodies more challenging. That applies whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing original material or spoofing a popular contemporary song, like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done over the years with the music of Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Queen and Dire Straits, who are among the artists whose music heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sampled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music business and pop culture has gotten so segmented over the years,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone used to watch MTV for the videos, and now MTV doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even play videos any more. And it used to be that Top 40 radio really was Top 40 and reflected the biggest hits in the country. Now you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have much Top 40 radio any more. Everything is all genre and sub-genre related, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to even figure out what an across-the-board hit is any more.â&#x20AC;?

A lot of local players are taking advantage of the softer field and the Borgata Summer Open has started strong.

Edward Abendschein of Mountain Lakes, N.J. (up in Morris County). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back at the Borgata, since he cashed four times at the spring open this year. He wins $31,319.

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deepstack event, a $500 + $60 No Limit, which split day one over Sunday and Monday (June 13-14), drew about 356 players leaving the top cash at $84,221.

The openâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship event, a $2,000 + $200, $500,000 guaranteed prize pool, No Limit event, starts June 25 and could give a savvy amateur or a burgeoning pro a chance to make a great run.

Meanwhile, state legislators who have been trying to expand gambling options in Atlantic City got some bad news last week as the Casino Association of New Jersey came out against plans to hold a referendum on allowing sports betting in the state and also allowing intra-state online gaming. That was widely assumed to mean online poker, though other games would be allowed.

Supporters of the bill, such as State Sen. James Whelan, say the bills are designed to prepare New Jersey, and Atlantic City, to be at the forefront if federal law changes to allow online gaming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want New Jersey to be first,â&#x20AC;? says Whelan, who also noted that an estimated 500,000 online poker players already reside in the state.

But the casinos, led by Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Entertainment, oppose the moves until federal bans on online gaming and sports betting are resolved. Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which owns casinos around the country, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear too dedicated to making New Jersey first in online gaming.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine these bills gaining momentum when the casinos themselves oppose them. The bills were always long shots considering the federal bans, but the odds of Atlantic City becoming an online poker hub now look astronomical.

Not only does the WSOP bring in the pros, it also offers a level of play that few other casinos in the country can match right now. For example, Tuesday, as the summer open offered a $400 + $50 Survivor tournament as its main event for the day, The WSOP was offering its Limit Holdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;em World Championship with a $10,000 buy-in.

Still, a lot of local players are taking advantage of the softer field and the summer open has started strong. The opening event, a $200 + $30 No Limit tournament played Friday June 11, drew 508 players and a $101,600 prize pool. The winner was Gilbert Sacks of Pennsylvania who won $28,077. Sacks has more than 20 cashes in his career and more than 100K in wins, almost all of which have come Visit acweekly.com for the latest regular in Atlantic City. tournament action in Atlantic City.

S EXPECTED, THE BORGATA Summer Poker Open has started out its run to June 30 as a haven for local players and amateurs, with a heavy emphasis on Borgata regulars.

That might not sound too surprising on the surface, but the Borgataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major poker opens (they now have one for each season of the year) have a tendency to bring out some pretty big names. The Borgata Spring Open played in April, for example, brought out pros like Ryan Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Angelo, Gavin Smith, Sorel Mizzi, Steve Dannemann and celebrity James Woods.

The summer open, however, flies in the face of the World Series of Poker, which is underway at the Rio in Las Vegas, and, for the time being, is the center of the poker universe.

ASK THE GEATOR

Frankie & Jerry

By Jerry Blavat

O

NCE AGAIN, GREETINGS AND salutations. Before we get to your questions, let’s talk about the folks down at the Jersey shore. One of my favorite casino operators, Mark Juliano, who heads up the Trump outlets, and his lovely wife, Jackie, discovered one of my favorite restaurants in Philly, Modo Mio. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Mark and Jackie dining there. And if you were with us Friday night, you witnessed the debut of Joey and Joy Ride featuring Ralphie Head.

He will be back next Friday, June 25, for a repeat performance. And look for the Trammps to be a part of the big Fourth of July weekend celebration on Sunday, At Valli’s 75th B-day party in 2009

on TV’s It’s Your Call with Lynn Doyle.

The show is in the can and will be aired on CNN locally and nationally within the next few weeks. We’ll keep you posted on the air date. Now let’s ask the Geator.

Just read your column about the real names of famous people. You know your stuff. Wasn’t Frankie Valli’s first name Francis?

— BG You’re absolutely right — we said Frank Castelluccio, but it’s Francis on the birth certificate.

Heard this great song this morning on your show on 92.1 — the Destinations, “The Thought of Leaving You Behind.” Is it on any of your oldies CDs? — Tedd Walker, Moorestown, NJ

Great song by a great local group that still performs occasionally. We’ve had them at some of our record hops doing a cappella. Originally released on a local label, the Arlene label, the song is called “I Can’t Leave You” and it’s on our Untouchables CD. Your Mother’s Day show on XPN featuring dance records left out my favorite, “Quarter to Three”!!!

— Teeny Marie

July 4. Tickets can be purchased in advance at Memories or at the door.

Also last Saturday night at Memories, along with my pal Jeff Orleans and his new squeeze, was the ever popular Stevie Benjamin with his Joy. And yes, that was Arlene Verne along with hubby Joe who did the Jerry Shake on the dance floor.

Also visiting was the producer of CBS 3’s midday show, Donna Benner. Look for the Geator and some friends to revisit CBS the week of the Geator’s birthday.

More on that in upcoming columns — it’s all about the Geator’s 50 years on radio and TV. And talking about the Trump properties, my pal Frankie Avalon, along with Frank Jr. and their great musical conductor, Ray, will be doing their fabulous show this weekend at the Taj. Spoke with Frankie, who promises to visit us at Memories after the shows. Frankie, by the way, was most gracious when he appeared with me from L.A. via satellite

You’re absolutely right, great dance party record. But with just an hourlong show on XPN, there’s only so much time to play all the wonderful dance songs. There are many more that come to my mind — “The Walk,” “The Stroll,” “The Jerry Shake,” “The Madison,” “The Hustle,” and more. Rest assured we’ll do another show saluting more of the great dances that came out of Philly and Jersey. n

Cinderella When: Wed., June 23, 8pm Where: House of Blues at Showboat, A.C. How Much: $35-$40

Cinderella’s Story

Hair-metal band from suburban Philly is still rocking after 25 years

By Ed Condran

A

J U N E 1 7 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

QUARTER CENTURY HAS PASSED since Jon Bon Jovi placed the glass slipper onto the foot of Cinderella.

The future pop-rock superstar checked out of the band’s shows and was impressed enough to let his label, Mercury Records, know about the young metal act out of suburban Philadelphia.

Mercury was just as taken with Cinderella as Bon Jovi.

A year after signing the band, the group released its breakthrough debut album, Night Songs. The disc, which dropped in 1986, went triple platinum courtesy of such hit singles as “Shake Me,” “Nobody’s Fool” and “Somebody Save Me.” It didn’t hurt that Mercury gave the band ample support as the group continued to flourish during the hair-metal era.

“Those were some great days,” singersongwriter Tom Keifer tells Atlantic City Weekly.

“So many things went our way during the ’80s. We worked the songs hard and people responded. It was a period that I’ll never forget.”

But grunge burst the hair metal bubble during the early ’90s. Cinderella’s last album, 1994’s Still Climbing was but a blip on the rock radar. After appearing for just a week on the Billboard Top 200 chart, the album fizzled and Mercury dropped Cinderella.

But that wasn’t all that troubled Cinderella.

“I had vocal problems back then and even earlier than that,” Keifer says.

“That’s why there was such a gap between the albums Heartbreak Station and Still Climbing. It was a really scary time. My voice was all over the place at the end of the Heartbreak Station tour. I had no control over it.”

Kiefer was diagnosed with paresis of his left vocal cord, which is akin to paralysis.

“It was difficult because it can be career ending,” Kiefer says. “There’s no surgery or medicine to cure it. You have to retrain the vocal cord to do what it should do. I had to work hard so we could make Still Climbing.”

Kiefer was rolling along fairly well vocally until the band’s 2006 tour

But Kiefer is making up for some lost time.

“I’ve always enjoyed being out on the road,” Kiefer says. “I remember how much I loved it when this band started out and that hasn’t changed one bit. It’s as exciting as it’s ever been.”

Cinderella in its prime

‘So many things went our way during the ’80s. We worked the songs hard and people responded.’

with Poison.

“It hit me again, but this time it was really hard,” Kiefer recalls. “I decided to tour with my voice in such shape. At first it wasn’t so bad, but it got worse and worse.”

Surgery was necessary since Kiefer put a great degree of stress on his vocal cord while gutting through the tour. Kiefer has been rehabbing his pipes and is on a tour with Cinderella, which stops Wednesday, June 23, at the House of Blues at Showboat in Atlantic City.

“I can’t imagine not singing,” Kiefer says. “It’s my passion. You don’t realize what you have until it may be taken away from you. I lived through some terrible experiences, but I’m just so

thankful that I can sing.”

Kiefer, who has always accentuated the positive, continues to see the silver lining in the clouds. While recovering from surgery and rehabbing in Nashville, he has witnessed the development of his son, who was born six years ago.

“It’s been amazing since I got to experience so many of the benchmarks that a child hits,” Kiefer says. “That wouldn’t have happened if I was on the road. A lot of guys in bands hardly see their kids because you’re always going from city to city. Surgery was no fun, but being home with my child was an experience I couldn’t put a price on.

That was the upside of a pretty difficult experience.”

The band, which also includes guitarist Jeff LeBar, bassist Eric Brittingham and drummer Fred Coury, still gets on very well. Perhaps that has something to do with the act’s longevity.

“We were all there from way back when [during our heyday],” Kiefer says.

“I think that has something to do with how well we get along. We’re like brothers. We have that connection onstage.

We know what each of us will do from playing for such a long time together. It’s amazing that we’re the same guys who were playing with each other all those years ago and we still step out onstage together. Not a lot of bands can say that.

A lot of bands get torn apart due to some petty stuff, but we’ve persevered. We survived things like what went on with my voice, but I actually think we’re stronger because of all that.”

After a quarter century Cinderella and their Bon Jovi pals are still standing as many of their peers from the hedonistic ’80s are just a memory.

“It’s funny how things work out,” Kiefer says. “Bon Jovi has been good friends for so long. It’s great to see them do so well and then you have a lot of guys who couldn’t handle the excess or just changes in the music. And then there is our band, which has somehow survived. We’ve had our share of ups and downs, [but] It’s been an amazing run and the great thing is that we’re still standing.” n see more online @

Fish Taco Mania

Northfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chido Burrito is quickly becoming a local favorite

By Frank Gabriel HIDO, ACCORDING TO LOCAL entrepreneur Terence Gallagher, is Latino slang roughly translating to â&#x20AC;&#x153;coolâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;awesome.â&#x20AC;?

As the managing partner and co-owner of Northfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Chido Burrito restaurant on Tilton Road he should know.

Gallagher says that the concept for his new enterprise is something heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been â&#x20AC;&#x153;thinking about doing for about 18 years.â&#x20AC;?

Living near San Diego while attending college two decades past, the 40-something Margate native discovered a flourishing food culture that heretofore hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been available â&#x20AC;&#x2122;round these parts.

He elaborates, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;San Diego is known as the home of the fish taco in the United States. Our focus is grilled crispy fish tacos. There is nobody on the East Coast in a quick-serve that does fish tacos.â&#x20AC;?

Since opening on March 25, Chido has quickly built a steady, loyal following among locals, especially evident at midday.

We stopped in on a Tuesday, just past noon, and were surprised by a line nearly out the door of the 50-seat restaurant, previously a Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Root Beer eatery.

The availability of that location, which opened up in April of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;09, convinced Gallagher to go ahead and pull the trigger on his long-held dream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That looked like a really good place to execute the business plan, at least locally,â&#x20AC;? he says.

And their rapid-fire, assembly-line delivery method moves customers through the ordering process in under five minutes, less than the time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect to wait at many drive-thru fast food joints.

Gallagher makes special mention of that unique feature, saying that: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Some of the Chidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew members. a good time to get into the business of quick-serve, high-quality food.â&#x20AC;?

With the operative word being â&#x20AC;&#x153;quality.â&#x20AC;?

Patrons start with five choices, a sort of platform or foundation for their meal: either burrito, tacos, quesadilla, rice bowl or salad.

Next, one selects a filling from among grilled steak, slow-roasted beef brisket or pork, grilled chicken breast, grilled fish or vegetarian.

Then, the real adventure begins. Chidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff of talented cooks and servers speedily whisks you through that queue, making specific inquiries about your preferences and hand-crafting each order.

The French have a word for this sort of

food preparation and delivery, a la minute, and consider it to be one of the most highly elevated forms of culinary artistry.

Whatever you might opt for, do make certain that their rich, velvety guacamole is included with your selection.

That resplendent product, like many of Chidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipes and formulas, was created, according to Gallagher, â&#x20AC;&#x153;in consultation with a local restaurant.â&#x20AC;?

(Pssst. He might be understating the case a bit here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an award-winning Downbeach fine dining Mecca with a decidedly philanthropic owner/operator who herself has become a living legend in Jersey shore social and business circles. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nuff said?)

The crowning touch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for us at least â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Blackhorse Pike -AIN 3T Pleasanville, NJ

was their self-serve salsa bar, featuring five different options of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite condiment in varying hues of red and green, plus fresh slices of jalapeno and lime.

While the overall menu is intentionally brief, allowing fresh proteins to be roasted or grilled throughout the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service, Chido has added a couple of items that caught our attention immediately.

The first is their take on chicken wings, which Gallagher calls, â&#x20AC;&#x153;an alternative to buffalo wings,â&#x20AC;? and the second is a creamy concoction labeled Mexironi and cheese, specifically designed to offer families a hearty, ethnic-influenced take on classic American comfort grub.

Chidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groovy design itself is an additional, eye-catching draw, and that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen by accident.

Crediting Voorhees firm R2 Architects for conceptualizing their vivid, beachshack look, Gallagher extols them for being â&#x20AC;&#x153;in from the very beginning.â&#x20AC;?

Gallagherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive professional background in finance and real estate development means that this initial Chido business will likely become the genesis of a much larger, regional operation.

Sooner than you might expect, too.

In fact, he was willing to share with us the startling fact that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;already looking at other locations.â&#x20AC;?

Hinting at a couple of prospective spots, he mentions the Camden County nexus of Cherry Hill/Voorhees or Ocean Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toms River area as likely targets.

A first-time restaurateur, open less than a year, already talking about expansion?

Pretty darned chido, if you ask us. n E-mail Frank Gabriel at fgabriel@acweekly.com

TLANTIC CITY WEEKLY CELEBRATES ITS 36TH SUMMER (formerly as the Whoot!) this year and with that in mind we’ve put together a list — in no particular order — of 36 things to love about the Atlantic City region this season. Aside from the plethora of classic-rock bands booked at the casinos and around the region, love will be in the air this summer whether you’re out partying at one of Atlantic City’s world-class night spots, dining at a favorite shore nook, or soaking up the sounds of the ocean on a family beach day. Do you have other good ideas for the summer of 2010? Leave a comment at acweekly.com.

1. The Hilton: Once an underdog on the Atlantic City casino scene, the new and improved Hilton has been spending money on new restaurants (Simon Prime, Ono, etc.), opening this summer with a high-profile speaker series that includes Bill Clinton and Dick Cheney. We’re looking forward to the Ann Coulter vs. James Carville event on Aug. 21. Hiltonac.com 2. The

Atlantic City Air Show: On Aug. 25 the

Steve & Cookie’s Farmers Market: The third annual Farmers Market at this Margate mainstay starts Thursday, June 24, then runs every Thursday from 9am12:30pm through the summer.

Funky Cold Desserts Beat the heat with these Atlantic City area summertime treats

By Stef Gordon PHOTO BY KEVIN McCARTY

A

Join us on Facebook:

cold meets hot, Chelsea Prime at The Chelsea Hotel serves up baked Alaska with vanilla and chocolate ice creams, raspberry sorbet, and pistachio chiffon ($8). At another of The Chelsea’s restaurants, Teplitzky’s, another hot ice cream dish will make you melt. A hot fudge brownie sundae is served in traditional fashion, with a warm brownie, choice of ice cream, and whipped cream ($6).

Keeping in line with tradition, Teplitzky’s also has some creamy, cold milkshakes to fill you up with sweet, mouthwatering ice cream. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or Butterfinger (!) are available ($4).

And for those of us without inhibitions or bank account limits, Red Square at The Quarter at Tropicana offers a unique alternative to the dessert scene. For $1k, you and one very lucky guest will enjoy two Faberge Eggs and two crystal Swarovski pendants (yours to keep), black pearl tapioca, turbinado candied walnuts, assorted shaved French valrohna chocolate, peppermint leaf, a brunoise of Caribbean mango and strawberries, dense Russian cake, and sweet blini pancakes. Complete, of course, with a bottle of chilled fine vodkas. Ok, so technically the chilled vodka is the only cold thing here, but come on. A Russian spread of delicacies for you plus one to savor. We just had to include it.

You could buy an ice cream sandwich on

the beach with plain vanilla sandwiched between two cookies. Or, you could go to Izakaya at the Borgata. Their ice cream sandwich brings a little bit of fall to a summer treat, with ginger ice cream inside a pumpkin spice cookie ($7). Apple tatin of cinnamon ice cream, toasted rice museli, and ginger créme anglese sounds delectable ($7). Plus, you can trick your brain into thinking it’s healthy by playing up the museli card.

Mento’s Ice-Cream and Water Ice in Ventnor has all the icy treats you’d expect, with the most popular water ice flavors here being black cherry and lemon. Your hardest decision will most likely come in the form of deciding between the water ice or soft ice cream, another big seller.

And, if you find yourself in Belcoville (on Route 50, right outside of Mays Landing), Crabby’s has a dessert called the Strawberry Delight: big juicy strawberries, sour cream and granulated brown sugar to dip. Unbelievably delicious.

And for a few of our other not-so-secret finds, should you crave a homemade treat to balance one of your frosty delights: Barrels in Margate makes all their desserts on premise, including homemade lemon or peanut butter pie, cheesecake, dark side of the moon (a rich chocolate cake) and of course small or large cannoli (desserts are $3.50, cannoli range from $1-$2.50).

Sofia Restaurant in Margate incorporates its Mediterranean flair into all its fare. Desserts here have a heavy Greek influence. Examples include its baklava (phyllo dough with walnuts, cinnamon, and sugar) and karidopita (a walnut cake of flour, cinnamon, grounded walnuts, and egg whites).

Jagielky’s in Ventnor and Margate, serves up its rich, decadent candies to many a hungry beachgoer. With offerings like its Rocky Road (marshmallows mixed with roasted nuts and smothered in chocolate) or Almond Butter Crunch (crunchy homemade toffee smothered in milk chocolate and covered in freshly crushed roasted almonds), you’ll be sure to satisfy even the most discerning chocoholic ($16 per pound). Chocolate dipped strawberries or blueberries, and vanilla and chocolate fudge are also available in season.

Finally, summer just wouldn’t be summer down here at the Jersey Shore without treating yourself to some Kohr Bros. frozen custard on the Ocean City Boardwalk or making your way over the bridge into Somers Point for anything at the Custard Hut. Also in Ocean City, TJ’s Homemade Ice Cream on Atlantic Avenue makes delicious homemade ice cream — about 35 tubs a week. Stay cool! n see more online @

BLAZING JUNE AFTERNOON. With the sun sizzling the soles of unsuspecting beachgoers and the unbearable heat making mouths feel like the Sahara, relief can only come in one form: the sweet, sweet taste of summer’s best cold desserts.

Yeah, yeah, we know you probably love your vanilla or chocolate ice cream on top of a sugar cone, but here, basic simplicity isn’t really our thing. We’ve checked out the decadent, the heat-quenching, the heavenly saccharine offerings that Atlantic City has. Check out some of our ideas for the most delicious cool escapes this season.

At Buddakan, located at The Pier Shops at Caesars, unique would tamely describe their sub-zero delicacies. Case in point? Its twist on tradition with vanilla creme brulee ($9). Here, vanilla custard is made with a caramelized crust, lemon grass poached mangos, and coconut gelee. Or, if white chocolate is more your style, the white chocolate Godiva cheesecake ($9) comes with an asian pear sorbet. Mmmm.

Johnny’s Café in Margate makes its desserts on premise by Johnny Liccio himself. While his tiramisu, chocolate velvet torte, New York style cheesecake, and key lime pie with graham cracker crust are all equally enticing, your best summer bet is in the form of the chocolate brownie obsession. A chewy brownie comes together with homemade coffee ice cream and caramel sauce. Anything involving fresh baked goods and melting ice cream must be a gift from the dessert gods. Liccio tells us that a new dessert for this summer is his baked Alaska: homemade chocolate ice cream with bits of chocolate and walnuts, topped with toasted meringue and a thick layer of chocolate cake at the bottom with chocolate sauce. We’re not actually sure how it’s possible to combine that much in one dessert. All desserts are $7.

Is a decadent sundae more your idea of a dessert overload utopia? Bobby Flay Steak at the Borgata serves it up with an island flair. Its coconut and pineapple sundae comes complete with dark rum caramel and macadamia brittle ($12). An addition to its island offering is the chocolate bananas foster bread pudding with peanut butter ice cream and banana rum caramel ($12). Peanut butter? Delicious. Ice cream? Delicious. Combined? Double the deliciousness. Consider us sold.

The Red Baron Flies Again Red Baron Air Tours can give you the feel of a World War I flying ace above the pines and beaches of southern New Jersey

RUISING ABOUT 500 FEET above the endless flatness and green of the Pine Barrens, with a calm Atlantic Ocean ahead of us and the sun glinting off the red of our biplane’s double wing, one thing comes to mind quickly — this is prime dog fight country.

If only Snoopy or some other naïve Sopwith Camel pilot were to just peak his cockpit above the pines. He’d be ours.

We are, after all, the Red Baron.

Of course, in this case, any shooting would be done with the camera of gunner (and Atlantic City Weekly art director) Kevin McCarty. But then maybe we could blind him with the flash or something.

Alas, this Red Baron Air Tour is much more peaceful than that.

The company behind the tours, Aerial Sky Ventures Inc., a banner-plane-advertising firm based in Woodbine and Ocean City, has been flying these little passenger jaunts over the pines and surf since last summer and, as far as we know, not one dogfight has gone down.

Still, flying in a 1940 open cockpit Waco (pronounced Wah-Co) UPF-7, painted fire engine red, it’s easy to get into the feel of the whole Red Baron thing (even though technically, the real Red Baron flew in a tri-plane most of the time).

Passengers, in fact, fly in the front seat of the UPF-7 — look, just saying, it’s the machine gun seat — as able pilot Joe Flood sits in the rear.

But machine guns or not, the plane is the star of the show.

“This plane is really the pinnacle of this design,” says Dave Dempsey, owner of Red Baron Tours. “It was made in 1940, but was totally restored in 1992 and got a new engine in 1999. It’s built like a tank and it’s fully air bagged. It’s just a great plane.”

And in many ways the plane has come full circle, coming back to the beaches of southern New Jersey.

“When we researched the plane’s history, we found that in the mid ’50s and early ’60s, it was a banner plane here in New Jersey,” Dempsey says. “So we’ve brought it home.”

Red Baron basically offers two types of tours. The first is a simple flight that can be booked for about 15 minutes ($148 for two passengers) or up to two hours ($750).

“Most of the tours take in the beach and the coastline,” Dempsey says. “They’re sightseeing tours. People like to go up and see the Atlantic City skyline and along the shore. But we also go into the pines along some of the rivers.

It’s basically wherever the customer wants to go.”

The other type of tour is a little more adventurous. For about $275, you can get a 30-minute aerobatic ride (longer rides are available), which includes loops, rolls, reverse Cubans, hammerheads and wing overs.

Sounds scary, but Red Baron prides itself on no one ever getting airsick.

“These are very graceful aeorbatics,” Dempsey says. “It’s not like the typical fighter jet with the hard turns and rolls that makes you sick.”

Only one passenger can participate in the aerobatics since safety regulations require a parachute and special harnessing.

Dempsey estimates only about 10 percent of his business is from aerobatics, with most people preferring the scenic rides.

On a normal cruise, however, the UPF7 provides a fairly gentle ride.

“We tell people that it’s just like riding in a convertible,” Dempsey says. “And you’ll be as warm as in a convertible.”

Well, a convertible 500 to 700 feet up going about 120 miles per hour.

See more photos online at ACWeekly.com The company gives you an authentic flying hat with a microphone and headset — so you can have a conversation with the pilot — and also offers goggles, which come in handy in the open wind.

“It is a smooth ride and we’ve never had anyone get sick,” Flood explains. “Of course, we don’t fly in bad weather when there could be a lot of turbulence. But most of the time it’s just a pleasant ride.”

One of the most striking things about the rides is the view of the back bays between barrier islands, in this case Sea Isle City. The flat low marshes can’t always be appreciated from ground level.

And the romance of aviation just enhances the view.

“We do get a lot of couples,” says Flood. “After that, it’s families, usually a father and a son or daughter. It’s a little high adventure.”

For Dempsey, the tours are also a dream come true.

“I wanted to get into the touring busi-

ness from the beginning, but it was complicated,” he says. “And it’s not like there are an abundance of aircraft like this one on the market. So early on I did get into the banner-flying business first. I went to school for aviation, but I never really knew how much fun it could be until I started flying [a banner plane].

“But then I did get this plane and we started last year,” he says. “We got off to a great start. We had lines throughout the summer.

There were days when it was just one flight after another. We were even voted best new business in Ocean City last year.”

So if you happen to look up into the sky from the beach this year and notice a bright red bi-wing lining you up for an attack run, relax.

All the action at Red Baron Tours is played for fun.

Tours are available at Ocean City Airport, 26th and Bay Ave., 8am-5pm Mon., Wed., Fri., Sat. and Sun., and at Woodbine Airport, 675 Henry DeCinque Blvd., Tues. and Thurs. 8am-5pm and daily after 5pm. Sunset tours are also available out of Woodbine. Call 861-4111 or visit redbaronairtours.com. n see more online @

OCEAN CITY WEEKLYÂŽ

RESTAURANT WEEK

IN

O.C.

Last year, as the Ocean City Restaurant Association put together its first Restaurant Week, they set prix fixe prices for meals, just as Atlantic City traditionally does during its restaurant week. But what made sense for Atlantic City didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily make sense for the more traditional shore atmosphere of O.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we found was that with the wide diversity of restaurants and eateries that we have, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a price point that worked for everybody,â&#x20AC;? says Kevin Scull, vice-president of the association and owner of Scullyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Asbury CafĂŠ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted all the various restaurants in town to be able to participate, so we came up with the idea of two for one deals. Everyone gets to put out a selected menu where you choose two entrees

for one price.â&#x20AC;?

That change means every business, from pizza parlors and ice cream stands to fullscale restaurants, can find a special deal to offer guests as the city kicks off the official summer season. Ocean City restaurant week begins Sunday, Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, and runs through June 27.

To kick off the event, the association will hold a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hungrymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Relay Raceâ&#x20AC;? to benefit the Community Food Bank of New Jersey. The race will be held at 2pm from 5th to 9th streets on Asbury Ave. In the event, teams of runners will run between stops on the course, eating doughnuts and pizza slices at each stop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to connect Restaurant Week with something good,â&#x20AC;? Scull says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And right now the

need of the community Food Bank is very high. Everything raised at the event will go to them. Plus during the week, we will have donation buckets for the Ocean City Community Food Cupboard.â&#x20AC;?

For a list of participating restaurants and menu choices visit eatinocnj.com/Restaurant Week.

And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, The Miss New Jersey Pageant comes to fruition this weekend. The pageant begins Thursday, June 17, at the Music Pier. Preliminaries are scheduled for Thursday and Friday with the finals on Saturday, June 19. Tickets are available by calling Mary Lou Cake at 856-424-3564. The Miss New Jersey Pageant is part of Miss America, which is staging a bit of a comeback this year as it returns to ABC. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Pritchard

The Karate Kid

He’s got a nice vibe about him, but he’s a little stiff at times. That said, he looks the part and his acting should improve down the road.

The Karate Kid remains a feel good story that works.

They Love the ’80s ‘Karate Kid’ and ‘A-Team’ provide modernized nostalgia

By Lori Hoffman

I

F YOU’RE GOING TO FUDGE THE creative process and borrow an idea from the past, it helps when you borrow something that worked well the first time around. It also helps when you come up with a brilliant casting notion. The new version of The Karate Kid benefits greatly from casting Asian and American film legend Jackie Chan as the reluctant martial arts tutor.

In a plot that combines the first Karate Kid with Karate Kid Part II, which takes place in Japan, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) is thrown for an emotional and cultural loop when his mom (Taraji P. Henson) is transferred from her job in Detroit to China.

Dre doesn’t know the language and he doesn’t know the culture, but he does The Karate Kid HHHH Directed by Harald Zwart; rated PG The A-Team HHHH Co-written & directed by Joe Carnahan; rated PG-13

know when cupid’s arrow strikes at the sight of Meiying (Wenwen Han), a young violinist who speaks English and enjoys this opportunity for a cultural exchange.

Unfortunately, the school bully Cheng (Zhenwei Wang) doesn’t like this budding friendship. Cheng and his posse are soon making life miserable for Dre, who can’t match their kung fu skills.

Dre needs a friend, preferably one who happens to be a kung-fu master (yes, we can quibble about the martial-arts change, but let’s not). It turns out that his building’s maintenance man Mr. Han (Chan) is just such a master. After seeing Dre get whipped and coming to his rescue, Dre has the teacher he desires.

From this point, the movie settles comfortably into the original film’s format.

The bonding of teacher and student, with Dre learning how to fight and how to do so with honor, is the heart of the story.

This time there is also a tragic back-story that explains why Mr. Han has withdrawn from the world. There is also the big tournament finale where an injured

A-Team? Well, B- Maybe

Dre must face down his nemesis in the championship bout.

The movie is far from perfect — it’s too long, with several stretches that are slow to the point of boring. Henson is wasted in the standard mom role — there are too many scenes of her ragging on Dre versus scenes that show she understands the enormity of the life-altering change she has forced upon her son.

But, on the bright side, Chan gives a wonderful performance. He’s become famous for the comedy edge he brings to his iconic martial-arts moves, but here he holds back that humor. His character has been withdrawn for a long time and Chan lets the joy he has hidden away for so long come out in effective little bursts.

Also, the use of the Chinese locales like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City add a lovely layer of cultural exchange to the story.

Now we come to Smith’s performance.

I was never fan of the popular ’80s TV series, so you’ll get no compare and contrast about the old TV show and the new movie starring Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Bradley Cooper as Face, Quinton Jackson as Mr. T and Sharlto Copley as Murdock.

I am a fan of writer-director Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces, Narc). Carnahan knows how to make ridiculous, over-the-Himalayas action scenes a ton of fun, and he does just that in this story about how the best U.S. secret ops unit during the Iraq War has to clear its name when the foursome is framed for a war crime. The action is furious, the acting matches the action and all the silliness makes for a classic example of popcorn summer fun that requires minimal gray matter to enjoy. n
