Tall Sails at Gardnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basin

Historic Gardnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basin lives up to its edict as a maritime park this weekend as it welcomes the A.J. Meerwald to its docks. The Delaware Bay Oyster Schooner, built in 1928, is New Jerseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tall Ship.â&#x20AC;? The schooner is representative of hundreds of schooners that were built along the Jersey Shore to serve the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oyster industry, before the ship building industry collapsed during the Depression. The 57-ton Meerwald has an 85-foot deck and a rig height of 75 feet. The ship is maintained by the Bayshore Discovery Project. While the Meerwald is in town from today (July 29) through Monday, Aug. 2, a series of tours and events are planned. Today, a flotilla of local vessels will greet the ship at noon followed by an open house aboard the Meerwald from 2-3pm. A series of special sailing tours is then on top with ticket prices for most at $40 adult, $35 senior, $20 child, though some lower priced family sales are also scheduled. Visit ajmeerwald.org for a full schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Pritchard

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been bored by a movie that is way too long, get ready for a film festival that eliminates that problem. On Friday, July 30, 7pm, Resorts hosts the Santa Barbara Minute Film Festival, sponsored by the Downbeach Film Festival/ Atlantic City Cinefest. This sold-out event in Santa Barbara, Calif., has been brought to the east coast at Resorts Screening Room. Tickets are $10, available at the door or by calling 823-9159. Proceeds benefit both festival organizations. The festival features 50 films by filmmakers and directors from around the world, with eight countries and nine states represented. The program includes thrillers, documentaries, experimental works, animation and horror, each with a running time between 60 and 90 seconds.

With intermission, the program lasts 90 minutes. Festival founder and director, Betty Johnson, a Ventnor native said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled we have had so many requests to show the films again. To be able to showcase the efforts of these skillful filmmakers in my home area is quite remarkable.â&#x20AC;?

The SBMFF â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best of the Festâ&#x20AC;? winner was Yongwa Chotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animated piece, We Are All Here. Chot is from New Jersey and expects to be at the festival along with other filmmakers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking forward to a partnership with Santa Barbara Minute Film Festival to complement the offerings of the Downbeach Film Festival/Atlantic City Cinefest,â&#x20AC;? said William Sokolic, Downbeach founder and director. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lori Hoffman

Remembering a Friend

A fundraiser will be held to honor Ray Garvey, the Borgata Comedy Club founder who had a friendly demeanor and larger-than-life persona.

By Ray Schweibert

N

OT ONLY DID RAY GARVEY pack a lot of living into a relatively short life, he may have unknowingly disarmed preconceived notions or stereotypes others harbored about certain sorts. Garvey was at various times a heavyweight boxer, bouncer, cop, garbage man, nightclub owner and bearer of Brooklyn street smarts, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass himself off as a man with something to prove. Rather, he came across as friendly, fun loving and gregarious.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have picked that up about five seconds after meeting him.

Earlier this year Garvey succumbed to cancer at age 53. The founder of the Borgata Comedy Club in 2003 and the former owner/manager of a New York City comedy club called Pipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Garvey will be remembered in a tribute comedy show Sunday, Aug. 1, at Borgata that will be hosted by his friend, comedian and former Sopranosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cast member Steve Schirripa (Bobby Bacala). The show will also include at least 10 other stand-up comedians who worked for and were close friends of Garvey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a cop, he was a bouncer, he was an actor, he was a comedian â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he was a pretty amazing guy, but most of all he was somebody who would do anything for you if he could,â&#x20AC;? Schirripa tells Atlantic City Weekly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a big heart and was a one-of-a-kind guy who was a

lot of fun to be around. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to be doing this in his honor and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to say he was my friend.â&#x20AC;?

Schirripa said he and Garvey became friends through Garveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendship with another Sopranosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cast member, Tony (Paulie Walnuts) Sirico. All three were born and raised in Brooklyn. Garvey was attending the wedding of Jamie LynnSigler (who played Meadow Soprano) in the summer of 2003 when he met then Borgata CEO Larry Mullin, who suggested Garvey come down to pitch his idea of starting a comedy club in Atlantic City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came down from Brooklyn a couple weeks later to put a proposal together, and it took off like a rocket ship to Mars,â&#x20AC;?

Garvey told Atlantic City Weekly in 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Borgataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special casino with a special brand of clientele, and [the Music Box, home of the Comedy Club] is one of the best venues to see any kind of show anywhere in the city. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acoustically perfect and the staff running it are all professionals.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ray Garvey touched many people in so many positive ways, we were deeply saddened when Ray lost his long battle,â&#x20AC;? says Joe Lupo, Borgataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice president of operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ray was such a gregarious and upbeat person who we can only remember as having a huge smile and a joke to tell. The relationship Borgata fostered over the many years

giving and positive individual with a comedy show that will contain many smiles and laughs, one that we believe Ray would have truly appreciated,â&#x20AC;? adds Lupo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steve Schirripa and the other comedians were immediately responsive to being here for the tribute to show their love and support for someone who offered so much to everyone over the years. Ray was very thankful to the team at Sloan-Kettering [Cancer Center], so all proceeds of the show will be presented to that organization as he would have wanted.â&#x20AC;? n

An Evening of Comedy to BeneďŹ t Ray Garvey

The late Ray Garvey with Ray to help develop the long-running and successful Comedy Club each night was a testament to the hard work and effort Ray contributed. He developed many friends over those years at Borgata, and we all miss him very much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pleased we are able to commemorate his life and honor such a

An A for ‘V’

It’s tough to beat Trump Plaza’s ‘V - The Ultimate Variety Show’ for sheer entertainment value and top-shelf talent

By Ray Schweibert

A

RED FLAG SOMETIMES GOES up when a show is touted as one the whole family will enjoy. That usually translates into something some family members will enjoy while others merely tolerate it and smile politely.

Rest assured, when V – The Ultimate Variety Show stakes that claim, it is no simple sleight-of-hand. A few of the wise cracks multi-talented emcee Michael Holly makes may fly over the heads of younger audience members, but even the most skeptical show-goers would be hard pressed to find fault with very much about the 90-minute performance, which includes magic, juggling, singing, dancing and a sensational ventriloquist named Ronn Lucas.

The V Show arrived in Atlantic City after an immensely successful run in Las Vegas. It was voted the best show on the Las Vegas strip, and has been likened to Atlantic City’s golden days of yore when variety entertainment was the standard on the Steel Pier.

“Customer reaction has been overwhelmingly positive,” says Steve Gietka, vice president of entertainment for Trump Entertainment Resorts. “They talk of being amazed throughout the show between bouts of laughter. I think the popularity of the show is mirrored in the high ratings for America’s Got Talent — it’s a show for all ages and I believe it’s the best entertainment value this summer in Atlantic City.”

America’s Got Talent is no mere superfluous comparison, as one of the V acts features 16-year-old singer Bianca Ryan doing renditions of Michael Jackson’s song “One More Chance,” and R. Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly.” Ryan was the NBC show’s debut winner when she was an 11-year-old.

Holly gets the show rolling by riding a tall unicycle across the stage in a semicontrolled manner, seeming to crash land once out of audience view. “That’s the last time I get a unicycle made by Toyota,” he quips as he walks back on stage. Holly sort of serves as go-between of the other acts, but his own juggling, sleight-of-hand and flawless interaction with audience members is all first-rate and interlaced with comedy.

The dancing prowess of Pasha and Aliona is stunning not just in its grace and beauty, but in the art of illusion. The Russian duo seems to magically change costumes mid-dance in a matter of split seconds, sometimes with the simple wave of a silk shawl or veil to conceal the quick switch. They end their first routine both in dressed white (she in a long gown and he in a tuxedo), and a second set, done to look like marionettes waltzing together, is later revealed to be Pasha by himself making both figures move in sync.

He does this apparenly while dancing almost completely doubled over forward through most of the set.

If his illusions alone are not enough

to leave you scratching your head, you will certainly be wondering how master magician Jason Byrne managed to train live birds to react with such precision. Heralded as the best at what he does by Siegfried and Roy, and twice voted stage magician of the year by the Academy of Magical Arts, Byrne is incredible at his craft.

It would be tough to choose an audience favorite when all the acts are so sensational, but ventriloquist Lucas — who performed with a sassy teenaged dragon named Scorch in a first set, and an irreverent little cowboy named Buffalo Billy in

a second — probably drew the best audience reaction, at least from the youth in attendance. Lucas later got an audience volunteer to act like a puppet, strapping a fake set of oversized lips on him and making him appear to say things that completely cracked up the crowd.

“That had me in stitches,” says Robert Sulzer, a show attendee from Brooklyn. “I had tears coming out of my eyes.”

ter than anyone not named LL Cool J or Run DMC. The second single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Africa Must Wake Upâ&#x20AC;? is a solemn song that evokes the spirit of John Lennon with the piano opening, while the chanting takes the listener back to classic Bob Marley songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Redemption Song.â&#x20AC;? In the song, Nas adds his informational/historical lyrics about Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to world culture.

I expect that both Nas and Damian will perform many of their own solo hits during the concert as well.

While most hip-hop albums are here today and forgotten tomorrow, I predict that Distant Relatives will be one of the albums that actually gains momentum and respect as time goes by.

I will be in the audience with thousands of my â&#x20AC;&#x153;Distant Relativesâ&#x20AC;? who are connected by the love of the music and the message.

I also predict that 10 years from now, when I tell people I was there at the House of Blues for this concert, all the people listening will wish they were related too. n

N THURSDAY, JULY 29, NAS and Damian â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jr. Gongâ&#x20AC;? Marley will bring one of the quietest tours (in terms of media attention) to the House of Blues at Showboat in Atlantic City. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that Nas or his fans lack controversy or a voice and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that Marley or his fans are soft spoken. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that in a year when the media is more prone to interview celebrities on their way into or out of prison, Nas and Marleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new CD and tour are not getting the coverage they deserve â&#x20AC;&#x201D; simply for making great music.

The CD, Distant Relatives, which brings together Damian Marley (the son of Bob Marley) and Nas (Nasir Jones) came out in May. Individually, Damian Marley is not that distant musically from his father, who wrote songs with as much heart and spirit as melody and rhythm.

Meanwhile, Nas is one of two MCs who mattered during the 1990s hip-hop era (the other being Jay-Z) and he still matters right now and will likely make relevant music into the next decade.

As solo performers, Nas and Marley have been two artists who think a lot louder than most artists making â&#x20AC;&#x153;blackâ&#x20AC;? music today. So as they come to Atlantic City, their latest project is one of a few great projects (like the new Gil-Scott Heron record) that are being passed over by the mainstream media, which seems content to only tell teenagers why they should believe that Drake is the greatest rapper of their generation.

For the rest of us (which also includes some teens who know about all kinds of music) the Distant Relatives tour stop in A.C. is an opportunity to see two great thinkers and activists who just happen to make exceptional music.

The first single from Distant Relatives, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As We Enterâ&#x20AC;? reminds me of some the greatest hip-hop/R&B collaborations from the 1990s such as Super Cat and Notorious B.I.Gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dolly My Baby,â&#x20AC;? Super Cat and Heavy Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dem No Worry Weâ&#x20AC;? and Shabba Ranks and KRS Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jam.â&#x20AC;? The song is just great, high-energy hip-hop music that teams two people who love their cities.

Marley gives us the Kingston love and Nas has always represented Queens bet-

UTTING LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE is easier said than done. When things are going smoothly we are happy as can be, but as soon as the slightest thing goes wrong, we are so quick to snap.

For instance, I drive an Acura and every time I have a service due I take it into the dealership. I absolutely love my car and I love all of the people there, and it’s always a pleasant experience. Plus, depending on the service you get done, they will give you a loaner car, so there is never an inconvenience. Recently one of my headlights burned out — at least so I thought — but turns out there were two other parts behind the light that needed to be replaced. It was going to cost close to $800!

I wasn’t expecting that, and of course the

Wouldn’t it be great if we could all live this way? first thing that went into my mind was this was ridiculous and I was being overcharged. After all of the great things they helped me with, when things didn’t go as planned I immediately jumped to a bad conclusion and wanted to do everything from telling them how I feel to giving a low score on the follow-up survey.

But then it dawned on me. I don’t want to be one of those people. I always give the benefit of the doubt, and this was something I just had to deal with and realize that after so many great years of service and being loyal to them, as they are to me, that I can’t let this change my attitude towards them. It’s definitely a first instinct, but you always have to think before you get upset. Then a couple of weeks ago, when I was in Texas for the e-Women Network conference, I was honored to meet the famous Zig Ziglar and hear him and his daughter Julie speak about life. Julie told a great story about how when she was a little girl, she went to a restaurant with her father and the waitress was not so nice. She had an attitude, didn’t crack a smile and slammed the plates down on the table.

We have all experienced this.

Well, instead of Zig getting upset and having words with the waitress, he leaned

in to his kids and said, “Something tough must have went on in her life; let’s be extra nice.”

For Julie, that story has always stuck out in her mind. She grew up knowing that when someone is rude to you, the only way to help the situation is with kindness.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could all live this way? If we could try to understand why someone acts the way they do and know how to interact with that person, wouldn’t life be so much easier? There is so much to know about human psychology and I bet most of us haven’t even begun to pass the tip of the iceberg.

Once we understand more about interacting with each other, we can certainly put things in perspective a lot easier. We can also find perspective sooner when we are faced with emotional things that occur during our lifetime, such as when someone close to us gets sick or passes.

It really makes you appreciate what you have.

And those times when we come in contact with the caregivers of sick people, it’s important that we understand that they may be stressed out and depressed from what they have to see on a daily basis. OK, so if a stressed-out caregiver and you interact, realize that they may be in a saucy mood for a plethora of reasons.

Don’t take it personally. And remember what Zig told his children.

So next time you are out and about and something out of the ordinary happens, try to make the best of the situation and think about the reasons behind people’s actions and interactions. When you take this perspective, not only will you be a better person, but you may even help someone along the way. n

DiMarino, head of gastroenterology at Jefferson, and his lovely wife, Dottie, dancing with Senator Hank Salvatore and his lovely Gloria, my pal Peter De Paul and his lovely Nevis, along with the Binswangers and a whole bunch of folks from Las Vegas who really got down on the dance floor. Then Saturday night saw Councilman Frank DiCicco, Ron Galati, Joey and Arlene Verne, and the return of Chuckie Wiener, alias Bugsy Siegel, not to mention a Sally Starr look-alike.

Christie’s New Atlantic City: A Family Paradise

Gov. Chris Christie’s plans for adding more family attractions to the casino-dominated city brings up and old debate

By Michael Pritchard

P

PHOTO BY DON KRAVITZ

J U LY 2 9 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

ICTURE AN ATLANTIC CITY Boardwalk and casino zone filled with all the wondrous attractions of a major Jersey shore beach resort such as Ocean City or Wildwood and a casino-filled adult playground of clubs and bars at the same time.

Boardwalk strollers would pass by go-cart parks, miniature golf courses, skateboard parks, laser tag arenas, bike rentals and several water sports areas.

Meanwhile, in the Boardwalk nightlife area there would be new restaurants and clubs, room for both Philly cheesesteak giants, Geno’s and Pat’s, and even an outdoor amphitheater. Looming above it all, and presumably swallowing either the Inlet or Bader Field whole, would be a NASCAR track.

That’s the Atlantic City envisioned in conceptual drawings released by Gov. Chris Christie’s office after the governor announced a proposal for a state takeover of the city’s casino and tourist districts last week.

Christie’s proposals are far reaching and include plans for the Meadowlands and the state’s horse racing industry. Christie also wants a public/private partnership to takeover Atlantic City’s tourism districts.

Plans for the resort, however, especially as far as redeveloping the city as a family destination, are a little less specific.

The conceptual drawings, which envision all this neat family stuff on the Boardwalk, are complete speculation according to the Governor’s Office. In other words, NASCAR hasn’t been approached by the state, let alone anyone else.

A legislative gaming summit scheduled for Aug. 6 to be held in Atlantic City and led by Sen. Jim Whelan, (D-Atlantic) and Assemblyman John Burzichelli, (D-Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland) is being expanded and will probably offer the first review and discussion of Christie’s proposals.

Whelan and Burzichelli have both said more hearings will probably be needed, but Christie is already famous for fasttracking his proposals.

Despite all the headlines Christie has

generated with his plan, he has also opened up a debate that’s as old as casino gambling in the resort.

Basically, should Atlantic City try to position itself as a Jersey-shore style family resort, which just happens to have a very adult–oriented casino industry, or should it try to focus on the adult market?

There’s no question that prior to the current recession, A.C. was leaning towards the adult market. The city introduced a new wave of restaurants and nightclubs, shopping at The Walk and The Pier Shops at Caesars and the all-inclusive party/ shopping ground of The Quarter at the Tropicana. Casinos also began booking a wide array of concerts and shows to attract visitors, rather than just holding onto tickets for gambler’s comps. Casinos added spas and began returning bars and nightspots to their properties.

But the debate has come down on the side of family-oriented attractions before, especially in the 1990s when Las Vegas seemed to be turning itself into a desert Disneyland. Atlantic City followed the

lead and added some family attractions, attracting a Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum, building a new aquarium at Gardner’s Basin and most visibly, building the then Sandcastle minor league baseball stadium. Steel Pier was also revitalized as an amusement pier.

But as these attractions came online, the casino industry and Vegas shifted. As casino mogul Steve Wynn warned, even as he was building giant pirate ships in Vegas, families and gambling don’t mix very well.

Vegas soon launched its “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” campaign, decidedly not aimed at family vacations.

Still, Christie’s idea of family attractions points to the argument that Atlantic City is not Vegas. It’s ocean-side location sets it apart from other gambling destinations and it is part of the Jersey shore.

“No one wants to be in Las Vegas in July,” Christie said at a press conference on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, July 21 (ironically on a day that could have easily matched Las Vegas for heat). “Atlantic

City is the beach and the ocean and by next July, I want to see families up on this Boardwalk.”

But perhaps the best indication that Atlantic City could use some more family attractions is the fate of those that went online more than a decade ago.

Though the Sandcastle, now Bernie Robbins Stadium, sits idle, its failure was as much due to the city’s inability to secure a minor league team affiliated with Major League Baseball as an inability to draw fans.

But Steel Pier, Ripley’s and the aquarium have survived.

The Atlantic City Aquarium in particular, has thrived.

“When people come here, they are looking for things to do,” says Jack Keith, executive director of the foundation that runs Gardner’s Basin. “If you Google Atlantic City and attractions, the aquarium is what comes up. We get people from around the tri-state area, especially when it’s families.

“Yes, Atlantic City attracts a lot of gamblers,” he adds, “but sometimes maybe only one person in the family gambles.

The rest of the family looks for things to do while they’re here. Our numbers have expanded every year over the last five years. They’ve taken a bit of a hit in the last year due to the economy, but visitors to the city do seek us out.”

Keith also says that shore visitors to Ocean City, Cape May and Long Beach Island often make the day trip to the aquarium. In fact, Gardner’s Basin recently added the Brownstone Puppet Theater to its attractions, becoming even more family friendly.

Keith is hopeful that Christie’s plan will mean even more family attractions at Gardner’s Basin.

“I’m cautiously optimistic,” he says.

“I mean we all have to see the details.

But remember Gardner’s Basin itself is a public-private partnership. And it’s succeeding.”

So now we just have to figure out where the NASCAR track goes. n see more online @

BECOME MASTER OF THE GRILL THIS SUMMER

OVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE grabbed a lot of headlines last week when he proposed a state takeover of Atlantic Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casino and tourism districts, promising to clean up the city and bring in more family-based attractions by July 2011.

But how this proposal will affect gamblers, especially poker players, is still pretty much unknown. Even if the plan goes into effect on time, there may be little more repercussions for the poker player than driving through some cleaner streets and dodging more children on the Boardwalk while making your way to the poker room.

Christie got much fewer headlines a couple weeks ago when he announced that the state would not join in a federal lawsuit to overturn a sports betting ban in the U.S. (with the exception of five states including Nevada) that is part of a legislative package that includes a proposal for making Atlantic City a hub for online poker.

The suit has been brought by N.J. state Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union), who seeks to overturn the ban, saying it discriminates against states who do not have sports betting, and also wants New Jersey to be the first state to allow Internet gambling, which would include the online poker games.

Christieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief counsel Jeff Chiesa, in a letter to the judge hearing the suit, said the state simply canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the legal fight right now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this time, given the unprecedented economic crisis and other challenges facing the state, the governor has determined that the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limited resources would be better utilized by focusing on other, more immediate issues facing the citizens of New Jersey,â&#x20AC;? Chiesa wrote.

This was a bit of blow to Lesniak, as well as Atlantic County senators James Whelan and Jeff Van Drew, co-sponors of most of the proposed bills. The three have also pushed for a referendum before New Jersey voters to allow sports and Internet gaming should they become legal, as well as a bill to allow intra-state online gaming (only for New Jersey residents) through Atlantic City.

Those efforts have also been hurt by opposition from the Casino Association of New Jersey.

Still, Christieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move not to join the suit isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really an anti-gambling move. Most facebook.com/ACWeekly

analysts consider moves by states like New Jersey and California to be the first to add online poker and sports betting to be long shots until federal regulations on both issues are settled. The Casino Association, for example, led by Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Entertainment, which owns four A.C. properties, has said any move by New Jersey should wait for a federal lead.

Meanwhile, federal legislation to allow Internet gaming continues to work its way through Congress, but continues to face serious opposition and faces a long haul to get passed.

However, hearings on the bill, sponsored by Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass), called the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act, were held last week.

Poker pro Annie Duke, who recently made some A.C. appearances, testified for the bill. The bill is now up for some revisions, including the inclusion of loss limits for players. The loss limit angle is intriguing, especially since live casinos donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even offer them.

Lesniakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bills also were also designed to help bolster the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse racing industry, but Christieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposals would essentially cut off state aide to the industry, calling for privatization of tracks, and would end a subsidy to the racing industry from A.C. casinos.

Back in the day, when the casinos first started putting in poker, many of the rooms were tied to horse racing simulcast rooms at the casinos. Now the gulf between casinos and race tracks in New Jersey is getting wider even as â&#x20AC;&#x153;racinosâ&#x20AC;? in other states hurt the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottom line.

Christieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan also calls for deregulation of casinos, which could possibly lead to more gaming options. But since the current poker craze is based almost entirely on Holdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;em, with a little Omaha thrown in, again, poker players will probably be largely unfazed by the whole thing.

So for the moment, Atlantic Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poker rooms will have to fight off new competition in Pennsylvania and Delaware the way they always have â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with strong tournament structures, plenty of open tables and good customer service.

Same Old Song?

’VE GOT FOURTH-GENERATION Atlantic City beach sand in my shoes.

I was born in Atlantic City. So were my kids. My parents, too. I can trace my Atlantic City lineage back nearly 100 years, to when my grandparents and greatgrandparents landed on the Boardwalk to operate a couple of hotels.

So it would be disingenuous, not to mention very self-centered, for me to suggest that nobody wants to see Atlantic City succeed more than me, because there are plenty of people who have as much and more of a vested interest in the city’s future.

But you’ll have to forgive me if I’m not quite ready to shoot off some celebratory fireworks and crack open the bubbly over Gov. Chris Christie’s ambitious plans to create what he calls a state “partnership” with the casino industry and what others are calling a state “takeover.”

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against Christie’s aggressive attempt to stop the hemorrhaging of money, visitors and investment that’s been happening as the result of competitive pressure from neighboring gaming jurisdictions, namely Pennsylvania.

But here’s my problem: We’ve heard this song before.

OK, so maybe the lyrics are a little different this time, but the music’s the same.

Atlantic City — in fact, this whole region — has a troubling habit of talking a project to death with little to show for all the rhetoric except a pile of newspaper clippings.

Granted, some might have been flights of fancy, like a plan to turn the mothballed luxury ocean liner S.S. United States into a floating casino permanently moored somewhere in the Inlet section of the city.

That proposal probably stood more of a chance than two others, one of which would have enclosed the Boardwalk in a Plexiglas dome, while the other would have had a subway running beneath the Boardwalk with stops at each casino.

But other projects weren’t so fanciful and made sense to many.

In 1975, when I was transferred from the Cape May County bureau of The Press of Atlantic City to the Atlantic City bureau, one of the first stories I covered was a meeting to discuss the feasibility of improving traffic flow in the city by turning Pacific Avenue into a one-way street.

Sound familiar?

One of the first stories I covered for The Press, shortly after I started with the paper

Join us on Facebook:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

in late ’74, was a meeting to discuss the possibility of the state building an overpass on the Garden State Parkway in Cape May Court House to eliminate what was then the only traffic light on the entire Parkway.

I’m pleased to report that next year, a mere 37 years after I wrote that story, the state will finally build that overpass.

There are plenty of other examples of projects that have been discussed, studied, advanced and planned but never came to fruition. So perhaps you can understand why, for now, anyway, I’m going to be a skeptic over Christie’s plans for A.C. Oh, I’m sure something will come of it; but will it come soon enough to help, or too late?

This isn’t the first time that a state “role” in Atlantic City has been discussed. Every time an A.C. politician gets into trouble — which means about once a month — some group, if not the state itself, warns of a potential takeover of Atlantic City.

Christie wants his plans fast-tracked and in the express lane for whatever legislative approvals are needed to accomplish his goals. But expecting all of this to happen by next July 1, which is his deadline, is wishful thinking at best.

Already, politicians have begun planning a series of “summit” meetings and hearings to determine how to best implement Christie’s plans.

Great. Just what we need. More meetings and hearings. And while those hearings are being held, money that might have been spent in Atlantic City five years ago is being pumped into casinos in Pennsylvania. Over the last several years, Atlantic City’s casinos have lost $1 billion to the competition, and that’s money it will never recoup.

Atlantic City simply can’t wait through another series of wasted public forums, backroom political wrangling, empty discussions, pep rallies, press conferences and town hall meetings.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures. Atlantic City’s back is against the wall. Can the rhetoric. Put politics aside.

Just do it! n

World-class adagio team Pasha & Aliona are the world’s fastest quick change artists. Also in the cast is singer Bianca Ryan, who won the debut season of NBC’s America’s Got Talent at age 11 (she’s now 16). (See story p. 10; see video at acweekly. com/multimedia)

Seafood Attraction

Avalonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new BYOB The Diving Horse doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint

By Frank Gabriel

E

ACH AND EVERY SEASON, A nascent Cape May county BYOB arrives, capturing the collective fancy of local dining cognoscenti.

This year, that distinction arguably belongs to Avalonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Diving Horse.

Positioned in a former hardware store at 21st Street and Dune Drive, the restaurant is a bit difficult to locate.

Keep looking. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be rewarded with an experience that is equal parts homage to Jersey shore tradition combined seamlessly with big-city technique.

The restaurant offers two vastly different spaces. A formal indoor dining area, filled with two, four, six and eight-tops, provides a wood-hued clubby atmosphere.

Facing 21st Street, the shaded patio allows surprisingly pleasant outdoor feasting, despite the stifling heat of our July evening. Three communal wooden tables â&#x20AC;&#x201D; think upscale picnic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; accommodate groups of up to 12 patrons.

Directed to the last of these, we admit to an initial moment of apprehension.

This sort of mandated seating â&#x20AC;&#x201D; once de rigueur on cruise ships due to space issues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can sometimes translate to awkward dining with complete strangers.

We got really lucky and were accompanied by a cast of sophisticated, witty and humorous fellow diners.

For a few hours, this meant the singular pleasure of enjoying fine food with newfound friends.

From a novel, napkin-folded menu, we opted for the soft shell crab appetizer. For us, nothing imparts the purity of seafood

The char

quite like these molting crustaceans. Sadly, most chefs opt to burden them with layers of thick breading prior to frying, negating most of their natural delicateness.

This beauty was barely battered, and bore all indications of having been instead vigorously worked in a sautĂŠ pan. This begat a softer exterior, yielding to layers of sweet, slightly chewy crab meat within. A platform of pureed avocado was so ideal a complement that we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but wonder why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen a chef pair these eloquent elements together before. Stunning.

My companionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blue Moon Acres mixed-leaf salad served as a manifesto on the beauty of midsummer. Green, red and bluish leaves were tossed with peach

and nectarine slices, toasted almonds and plenty of goat cheese. Binding and flavoring this mix was a complex Banyuls vinaigrette, offering notes of vanilla and spice. This was described by our wellinformed server as emanating from a French producer known for aging their unsweetened vinegars in oak wine casks.

My entrĂŠe, char, is a species of fish infrequently witnessed on local menus. A close relative of salmon with similar appearance, charâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flesh and taste are however much cleaner, no doubt deriving from the frigid, pristine waters of its Arctic origins.

Presented skin side up, the pale pink fillet sat atop a beluga lentil and corn salad. Crisped fat gave way to a moist, mid-rare interior, just the way we believe

all fine fish should be treated. The pleasant textural bite of lentils and corn played together superbly.

Barnegat Bay scallops were portioned at five and tilted atop tiny pearls of lemonscented pasta. Arugula, softly melted but not brutalized, thoughtfully subbed for the more ubiquitous sautĂŠed spinach chosen by many chefs as a vegetative element. Like my char, these mollusks were finished by a soft, carefully measured ladle of shellfish broth, subtly performing a pitch-perfect culinary backing vocal.

We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be intrigued by the mac and cheese, from an inspired list of side dishes. Loaded with housecured bacon, this bubbly cauldron was coated with an ingenious crumble of goldfish crackers.

Other options â&#x20AC;&#x201D; brown-butter potato puree, asparagus, braised greens and malt vinegar French fries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; looked equally appealing on the plates of fellow diners.

If you are only creating four desserts on a menu this ambitious, they had better be pretty good. The pair we sampled â&#x20AC;&#x201D; double chocolate cake and strawberry rhubarb crisp â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than held up their end of the bargain.

The crisp, enriched further by the addition of fresh peaches, was an upscale rendition of the traditional country favorite.

My chocolate cake brought a smooth, mousse-like ganache, topped by a handful of tart brandied cherries. Atop, a pretty dollop of house made vanilla ice cream closed our eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meal, leaving a creamy, sweet taste on the palate. n

events in Atlantic City. Talking about this year’s Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival, he explains, “There is so much that is going on. To see the way it has been [expanding since 2007] is outstanding. This is my fourth A.C. event. It is getting to the point where it will start getting recognized as a Top 5 culinary event around the country.

“I’m doing a Big Bite brunch and the Philly Cheesesteak Battle. Every time I show up, I get to be part of a really cool party. You’re blessed if you live in the area. If you are going to the event you are going to have a great time. The people putting on the festival are working really hard to build a great event.” (For more from Fieri, see interview opposite page.)

Both the Food Network and Conde Nast Traveler sponsor this year’s feast for foodies. As Fieri would say, it will be off-thehook with 40 total events taking place at the four properties that Harrah’s owns in town, plus The Pier Shops at Caesars and the Chelsea Hotel.

The Food Network and Cooking Channel stars will be joined by the top chefs behind the scenes, the culinary

staffers from Harrah’s properties across the country, including Harrah’s Resort executive chef Ed Batten and Keith Mitchell, executive chef at Caesars.

Not only will Harrah’s chefs help execute the events featuring the Food Network stars, they will be in charge of the signature event of the festival, the Grand Market on Saturday and Sunday on

Batten is one of the main architects of the annual festival. He explains that the planning for this year’s event began when last year’s event ended and that the hands-on prep work begins about a month before it starts.

The Food and Wine Festival started off in 2007 as an idea to expand Atlantic City’s culinary/non-gaming scene. It began as a two-day food and wine event sponsored by Harrah’s Entertainment called “Toast to the Coast” with 2,600 food fans. In 2009 the festival was redetomatoes-inspired cocktails.

Diners, Drive-ins and Dives fans in South Jersey get ready to have your world rocked. Guy Fieri will be sticking around the region for a few days following his participation in the Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival. “Just so everybody knows, and I’m going to get in trouble for [telling you] this,” Fieri tells Atlantic City Weekly, “this year, as soon as I get done doing the Food and Wine Fest, the entire Triple D film crew will be in Atlantic City. We will be shooting in A.C. and around the area doing Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives that following week. We are bringing Triple D to A.C.” Adds Fieri, “A.C. is absolutely one of my favorite places to go. Put it in capital letters, double underline it. Granted I get an incredible reception from my friends at Harrah’s and Caesars. It has a small-town charm, but with big-city opportunity. You get huge headliners that come to A.C., you have good food, you have good people, and you’ve got the beach. Come on, you can walk right outside of a casino and go to a beach. When I tell my buddies it’s A.C. time you should see them going into this lottery over who gets to go to the A.C. event. When I hit A.C. there will probably be 15 to 20 people in my group flying in from all around the country.” Fieri, who co-owns the Johnny Garlic’s and Tex Wasabi’s restaurants in California also says he would love to have a restaurant in town — area casino executives are you listening? — and that he and his wife Lori are regulars at the White House Sub Shop when they visit. — LH

OCEAN CITY WEEKLYÂŽ Ocean City has a lot of silly events, but this one is famous.

There are a few spectacles in the world that stay with you for a lifetime, emboldening your spirit, filling you with a passion for the ages â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the running of the bulls at Pamplona; Carnival in Rio; the Miss Crustacean Pageant in Ocean City.

Hmmm, a little too much?

OK, how about sometimes it can be pretty cool to spend a summer afternoon on the beach watching hermit crabs dressed up in silly costumes?

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miss Crustacean Pageant takes place at 1pm Wednesday, Aug. 4, at the 6th St. Beach in a tradition that dates back, oh a bunch of years, and has produced winners such as Crabunzel, Crabahontis, Crabopatra, Crab McMuffin, Taxi Crab, Copacrabana, Crab Salad and Pirates of the Crabibbean.

Billed as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showcase for decorated hermit crabs displayed on colorful backdrops, Miss Crustacean has been a question on Jeopardy!, been named one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 most unusual events by U.S. News and World Report, been translated into Japanese and German and featured on the Spanish World Wide Television Network, in the London Sunday Times, on London TV and

in the Wall Street Journal as well as media throughout the United States and world.

Yes, this is the attention heaped on a painted hermit crab.

The winner of the contest gets to waddle down a flower bedecked runway as adoring throngs sing the Pageantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here It Comes, Miss Crustacean,â&#x20AC;? led by Shelly, the mermaid, aka soprano Suzanne Muldowney accompanied by Elvis performer, Ted Prior. The winner is also awarded the Cucumber Rind Cup. But wait, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. Anytime a bunch of bedazzled, decorated hermit crabs get together, a race is sure to break out.

O.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public relations department describes it thus: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pageant is followed by the rollicking Hermit Crab Races with about 150 Crabathletes plodding and clunking over an 8 ft. plywood oval. A bugler sounds the call at the starting gate (a plastic cake dish cover) before each heat. Heat winners compete in the championship run-off.â&#x20AC;?

There is actually a hermit crab record for the trip over the board. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6.3 seconds set by a crab named Hermie some 34 years ago.

The race winner is declared â&#x20AC;&#x153;the King of Klutzâ&#x20AC;? and receives a plaque that says so from

Harry da Horse, aka Ron Mac Closkey, also a professional comedian.

Live music from the youth band 1-2-3 Draw will also be featured.

Entry in both events is free. There is no preregistration. Call 525-9300 for information.

A sand-sculpting contest will also be held on the 6th St. Beach starting 9am on Aug. 4. Entry is free. Prizes will be awarded for all age groups.

By the way, Ocean City officials note that hermit crabs are not indigenous to southern New Jersey and should not be left on the beaches to fend for themselves. They cannot survive the winter outdoors here.

Owners who do not wish to keep their crabs after the event should give them to NASCRAB officials who will provide them a home. Information on how to care for hermit crabs will be distributed at the contests. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; MIke Pritchard

Jim Gaffigan Where: The Borgata, A.C. When: Friday, July 30, 9pm How Much: $35-$45

Mr. Hot Pockets

Still pale-faced and with food on his mind, Jim Gaffigan returns to Borgata.

Atlantic City.

“I love food,” Gaffigan says. “When I go out, I love to hit a nice restaurant.

It’s a satisfying thing. But when it comes to comedy, food is a good thing for me since I think people can relate to what I talk about and I think that’s particularly so with food. You have to eat. Everyone can connect with that. Food is something I think about a lot. You can tell by looking at me. I’m not going to hide it. I

may as well have some fun with it. Most people in America love to eat too much.

How can you not? There are so many buffets in America, particularly in resort towns. How can you resist a good buffet?

So food connects with everyone.”

Not everyone, however, has skin the shade of porcelain like Gaffigan, but he jokes about his ghostly pallor.

“I just know that can be funny,” Gaffigan says. “You don’t have to be as

‘There is the Vegetarian Hot Pocket for those who don’t eat meat, but would still like to experience the thrill of diarrhea.’

white as me to laugh at me when I talk about it.”

Even though Gaffigan is of Irish descent, he jokes that his father is Swedish and his mother is Elton John. He also produced a serious of animated shorts for Late Night With Conan O’Brien, entitled “Pale Force,” which feature the animated Gaffigan and O’Brien as a pair of super heroes, who fight crime courtesy of their incredibly pale skin.

“You work with what you have,” Gaffigan says. “I’m very pale. That can be funny and it’s worked for me.”

Gaffigan, who left the TBS sitcom My Boys, after its third season, is a pragmatic comic. That’s not common for stand-ups.

But then again most comedians aren’t married with three children and practicing Roman Catholics.

“I never felt I had to fall into that comic stereotype,” Gaffigan says. “I’m not one of those guys who is a selfish person and will do anything for a laugh.

I don’t see the point of dropping the fbomb. Obscenities are a crutch. I think I can make people laugh without using those words.”

Gaffigan never chose to go the safe route as a comic and he certainly didn’t take the safe route when it came to choosing a career.

After graduating with a business degree from Georgetown University, Gaffigan toiled as a copywriter.

“But that wasn’t enough for me,” Gaffigan says. “It would have been easy for me to do that for a living but I had to challenge myself. It wasn’t an easy thing because I come from a pretty conservative family. When I said I wanted to leave a steady job for the entertainment world, they didn’t get it. They were like, ‘What, are you nuts?’”

But Gaffigan is having the last laugh.

He has flirted with stardom with some sitcoms. He hasn’t become a household name quite yet, but he has a steady gig in the unsteadiest of fields, stand-up comedy.

“I’m pretty proud of that,” Gaffigan says. “I get regular paychecks for making people laugh. You can’t beat it.” n

T’S FITTING THAT JIM GAFFIGAN has made a name for himself as a stand-up comic. Gaffigan, who will return Friday, July 30, to the Borgata in Atlantic City, appeared to be on his way to fame and fortune a decade ago when David Letterman, a huge fan and fellow Indiana native, tapped Gaffigan to be part of his World Wide Pants Productions.

“It’s all true,” Gaffigan tells Atlantic City Weekly. “After I did his show in 1999 he brought me into his office and asked me about doing a show and I said, ‘Not with you guys.’ Just kidding. I said, ‘I’ll do it.’”

The show was Welcome to New York, which was a very funny CBS sitcom.

“It had a great cast,” Gaffigan recalls.

“Christine Baranski and Sara Gilbert were part of it. And after that I did Ellen, which featured, of course, Ellen DeGeneres. The show was really funny. Neither show made it but they were high-quality shows. I would rather be part of a really good show that doesn’t last long than a bad one that goes on forever.”

Well, Gaffigan, 44, never stopped doing stand-up. His amusing observations have pushed him over the top since his take is unique.

“I’m a guy who’s missing some of the guy gene,” Gaffigan says. “I love steak. I can’t get enough steak. But the notion of golfing is the last thing I would want to do. I love women, but I’m also a mama’s boy and some of my best friends are women. I’m kind of a half-guy’s guy.”

It’s apt that Gaffigan mentioned steak since the pale and pudgy comic loves food. Some of his best bits involve grub.

“Hot Pockets are the contemporary potpie,” Gaffigan says. “Remember when we were kids, it was all about the potpie. Now it’s Hot Pockets. There is the Vegetarian Hot Pocket for those who don’t eat meat, but would still like to experience the thrill of diarrhea. You know what’s great about the Hot Pocket?

Unlike the potpie, you don’t need a fork.

How can you beat that? But to tell you the truth, I’m amused how awkward and weird that product is.”

Count on Gaffigan to chow down on some fine cuisine when he returns to

EDITOR’S CHOICE

New Orleans is not just a city soon to commence a defense of its first and only NFL championship, it will also be lending Atlantic City some of the sounds that helped define its notoriety. Starting Monday, Aug. 2, and taking place most Monday evenings this month (starting roughly 6:30pm) along with other select dates leading up to Sunday, Sept.

5, the free “Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk” series will take place at Kennedy Plaza in front of Boardwalk Hall. Kicking off the free series will be a classic jam band perhaps best known for its 1960s San Francisco Bay-area influence — the New Riders of the Purple Sage, on Aug. 2. Some of the of the biggest names from the Crescent City will then descend on the resort, including Buckwheat Zydeco (Aug. 9), George Porter Jr. & the Runnin’ Partners (Aug. 16), Cyril Neville and Jumpin’ Johnny Sansone (with guest AC Weekly editor Jeff Schwachter on Aug. 23), and a twin billing of blues great Guitar Shorty with Latin salsa orchestra La Master A Otro Nivel (Aug. 30). Additionally, the series will see special appearances by the New Orleans brass band Bonerama on the eve of the A.C. Air Show (Tues., Aug. 24), by John Lee Hooker Jr. (son of the blues legend) on the afternoon of the Air Show (starting 3:30pm Aug. 25), and will end with a series-finale tribute to Fats Domino and Professor Longhair featuring Mitch Woods and his Big Easy Boogie with Jill West and Blues Attack on Sunday, Sept. 5 (Labor Day weekend). Each party will commence around 6pm with lots of Mardi Gras beads, merrymaking and free giveaways from corporate sponsors, of which Atlantic City Weekly is one. For more information, e-mail Carmen Marotta at tonymarto@aol.com.

Salt

Super Spy ‘Salt’

given several conflicting answers. One answer to that question, which allows her to break out of her enigmatic persona, is that she loves her German scientist husband (August Diehl) and despite her training to ignore her emotions, those emotions are what drive her.

If you stop and think too much, the logic — or lack thereof — in the plot will lessen your enjoyment of Jolie showing all the boys how smart, tough and ferocious a female spy in love can be.

Personally, I was content to put my logic center in deep freeze and just enjoy the ride.

The Cold War is ‘Bourne’ again in this relentless spy thriller

By Lori Hoffman

L

ET’S START THIS REVIEW WITH a disclaimer. While I will compare elements of Angelina Jolie’s new spy-on-the-run thriller Salt to the Bourne movies, I am not suggesting that it is in the same league. However, with the excellent veteran Aussie director Phillip Noyce (Dead Calm, The Bone Collector, Patriot Games) at the helm, and the convincing kickass persona of Jolie leaping from tall buildings (well off an overpass anyway in an inventive chase sequence), Salt is a relentless spy thriller that never slows down.

If it did you would begin to realize that her ability to cut though layers of intense security at the White House is more than a little ridiculous. Salt is an enjoyable mix of graphic novel-level action seasoned with a few moments that have the old school spy ambience that the Bourne trilogy revived.

The primary old school touch is the Salt HHHH Directed by Phillip Noyce; rated PG-13 Predators HHHH Directed by Nimród Antal; rated R

commie Russian element. Sometimes modern spy films don’t want to go back to the current pool of international villains like the North Koreans, the Chinese communists, Muslim terrorists and international arms dealers. Instead, it’s back to the long dormant Cold War when the U.S. vs. Soviet Union battle was the planet’s scariest throwdown.

This film evokes one of Mother Russia’s most famous urban legends. Several movies and a bunch of 1960s TV shows revealed that the Russians found American citizens with Russian ties, trained them at secret spy camps and planted them in the U.S. as deep cover sleeper agents that could be utilized when the time was right to bring down the United States. Two of my favorites from this genre are the old Charles Bronson chestnut Telefon (1977), and the Kevin Costner-Gene Hackman thriller No Way Out (1987).

Written by Kurt Wimmer (screenwriter for the cult hit Equilibrium), Jolie stars as one of the CIA’s top field agents, Evelyn Salt. Her career is thrown into turmoil when a Russian defector Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski), walks into CIA headquarters and claims that a Russian double agent is

Oscar Bait about to assassinate the Russian president when he visits the United States. That agent is Evelyn Salt.

Salt doesn’t stick around to be locked up until the matter of her loyalty is straightened out. She escapes in an awesome sequence at CIA headquarters that Mission Impossible man Ethan Hunt would envy, followed by a dynamic combination foot, car, truck, and motorcycle chase in Washington, DC. Her chief pursuers are her CIA boss who believes she has been framed, Ted Winter (Liev Schreiber) and the counterterrorism agent Peabody (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who cannot afford to believe anything until he has concrete evidence.

Who is Evelyn Salt really, is the big question, and as the plot unfolds we are

Adrien Brody might be the only Oscarwinning actor (The Pianist) who felt he could improve his career by playing a badass in the reboot of Predators, produced

by Robert Rodriguez. Oddly enough, he pulls it off as one of the scum-of-theearth mercenaries trapped and released on an alien planet as the “game” in the Predators game preserve. Alice Braga also impresses and Laurence Fishburne provides a funny cameo in this understated action/horror flick hybrid. n
