THIS WEEK

Trusty’s Dream F

IVE YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Atlantic City lost a treasure. I still carry around the late Sid Trusty’s faded yellow business card in my wallet.

I got the opportunity to meet the man on a few occasions before he passed away on Aug. 16, 2004. We talked about his days as a drummer in the Atlantic City nightclub Club Harlem. And how the lines would be around the block when people like Ray Charles and James Brown came to town to play.

Trusty was more than a “historian,” as his card read; he founded the Sid Trusty Memorabilia Center, which he ran out of his cluttered garage in Atlantic City — a mecca of lost and forgotten goodies from Atlantic City’s heyday as an entertainment staple on nearly every traveling musician’s itinerary during the good ol’ days — and was considered the “unofficial mayor of Kentucky Avenue.”

As his obit read, Trusty’s “life’s dream was to have a permanent location” for his collection of Atlantic City artifacts, posters, scrapbooks and clippings, “so that everyone could know what Atlantic City once had.”

Trusty had thousands of items from A.C.’s African-American past. The last I heard, his son, who lives in Connecticut, has the collection. Wouldn’t it be nice to bring Trusty’s goldmine back to the city and, as Chicken Bone Beach jazz series organizer Henrietta Shelton tells Mike Pritchard in this week’s feature (on p. 61), “have a jazz hall of

fame in the city”? Shelton has numerous artifacts; so do other local collectors.

A call into Mayor Lorenzo Langford’s office this week revealed that discussions are taking place for “some type of public museum” for the third phase of The Walk in Atlantic City. Langford also says that the city has a few other options where such a museum could be housed.

Langford likes where the current Atlantic City Historical Museum and Art Center are located, directly across from the Revel Entertainment construction site, on Garden Pier. However, he says, if a “reasonable offer” to purchase that property were made, those two entities could be potentially be merged with such a museum that Trusty hoped for. “[Garden] Pier is not going anywhere,” says Langford, “until a reasonable offer is made. That pier is a jewel. I like it fine where it is. They would move only if a good deal is made.”

Langford adds that he is aware that a variety of interested parties in the city want a museum for Trusty’s collection.

“And at some point in time there will be a permanent home for Sid Trusty’s [collection],” he says.

And like many people, as Shelton says, “I’d love to see that some day.” n

Atlantic City’s Image R

A WEeEeKkLlYy. .CCOOM M MUOGNUTSHT 0200, , 22000089 // AACCW

By Pinky Kravitz

EMAKE THE CITY, NOT THE IMAGE” was the headline of an editorial in a recent edition of the Asbury Park Press. The following is the editorial, which I believe should be read by the people in our area to see what a major newspaper in the state has to say about Atlantic City: “Atlantic City’s 11 casinos, smarting from their worst year in three decades, want to pour $20 million — a portion of it funded by taxpayers if they have their way — into a major promotional push. Before it changes perception it must change the reality. Atlantic City’s chief draw remains the casinos, largely islands unto themselves in the city with great untapped potential for more, but a victim of weak, corrupt local government, lack of imagination and failure to understand the need to transform the city itself, not just Pacific [Avenue] and the Marina District.

“In most people’s minds quite accurately, Atlantic City has one main attraction — casinos, and the restaurants and nightlife associated with them. Its five-yearold slogan, “Always Turned On” is squarely pitched at one segment of adults, rather than families, automatically excluding the majority demographic. It’s narrow target group has been further winnowed by increasingly strong competition for the gaming dollar from racinos in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

“As with other businesses facing reduced market share, Atlantic City needs to offer new products that will attract new customers. As we have pointed out before in addition to its casinos, Atlantic City has two unique strengths — its seaside location and its worldfamous [B]oardwalk. It has failed to capitalize on either.

The city’s retail shopping is hardly a draw. The family entertainment offerings are paltry. Many neighborhoods adjacent to the casinos remain uninviting at best. And the beach, largely hidden from view on Pacific Avenue by the casinos and on the “[B]oardwalk by huge dunes, are virtually inaccessible to non-casino visitors. ‘This is a town that has been on cruise control for 25 years,’ Larry Mullen, [former] president and chief operating officer of the Borgata, warned two years ago. ‘The biggest challenge now facing Atlantic City is itself.’ Meeting that challenge will become even more daunting if Atlantic City doesn’t reconnect with the sea and the [B]oardwalk and remake itself as a destination attractive to families as well as the singles, high rollers and busloads of slotminded day-trippers.”

The most important correction to be made in the Asbury Park Press editorial is the claim that a portion of the $20 million being requested will be funded by state taxpayers. That is entirely untrue. The $20 million requested by the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority (ACCVA) and the Atlantic City Casino Association is to come from a variety of sources.

Atlantic City’s Convention Center and Boardwalk Hall are no longer in control of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA). These two Atlantic City properties are now under jurisdiction of the ACCVA. There are some funds in the NJSEA account that will eventually be turned over to the ACCVA that could be used for this purpose. They’re also making inquiries into

the possibility of marketing funds from the South Jersey Transportation Authority and the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. The $20 million might be made available over a three-year period, which would certainly enhance the current funds being used for marketing Atlantic City.

This is the second editorial in a state newspaper, the local daily being the first, to comment about the dunes that are blocking the view of those on the Boardwalk of the beach and ocean. The battle to lower the dunes is continuing. We are looking forward to the promise of Sen. Jim Whelen, who publicly stated that the commissioner of the Environmental Protection Agency would come to Atlantic City to meet with us or send one of his senior representatives to discuss this issue.

I also take issue with the editorial on the subject of the city’s retail shopping. Obviously, the editorial writer has not recently visited Atlantic City’s shopping areas, such as The Walk, a retail outlet shopping center about to go into its third expansion program in October, The Pier Shops at Caesars, which offers some the most exclusive brand names in the retail marketplace, and the Tropicana’s Quarter, which always seems to have throngs of people visiting its many stores and restaurants. As to our family entertainment being paltry, that is true, but that is by choice. Atlantic City no longer has rooming houses or low-cost motel units where families used to stay. One of the only places offering families entertainment is the Steel Pier, which is only open for five months. However, quality restaurants in Atlantic City will equal those of any city in the nation.

Thanks to the Asbury Park Press for their concern about Atlantic City’s welfare. Their editorial writer’s comments about its future needs are appreciated.

Don Marrandino Returns

Don Marrandino, a born and bred localite, will be returning to Atlantic City to assume the position of one of Harrah’s Entertainment’s top executive officers of their East Coast casino properties. The vacancy for his new position comes from the announced retirement of Carlos Tolosa, president of Harrah’s Entertainment’s eastern region. Tolosa joined Harrah’s 39 years ago when they were known as the Holiday Inn. Tolosa came to the United States from Chile and lived the American dream by becoming one of Harrah’s Entertainment’s most highly regarded executives. Marrandino, who turned 50 last Saturday, worked for several casino companies in Vegas.

Over the past few years, he has been the COO of five of Harrah’s Las Vegas casinos. Welcome home, Don. n

One of the nice things about throwing your own rock festival each year is that you get to indulge some of your own musical tastes. Well, that is provided the groups you pick are sure to bring in big crowds. On that score, we think the organizers of this year’s Margate Rock Festival Sunday (Aug. 23) are pretty safe. Their choice for headliner? The Gin Blossoms. “They’re Roy Goldberg’s [a trustee of the Gold Foundation, which the concert benefits] favorite bands and we thought they’d be fun,” says Roberta Cincotti, spokesperson for the event. And we also thought they’d be a good draw.” The Festival, now in it’s fifth year, regularly packs them into Amherst Avenue in Margate. The party centers around the Washington Avenue Pier and includes a free fireworks display at 9:45pm. The concert is also free, but food and T-shirt sales benefit the Gold Foundation, which supports more than 85 local charities. The Gin Blossoms had major success in the ’90s with hits like “Hey Jealousy” before breaking up in 1997. The group reformed in 2002 and has been touring ever since. “The festival grows every year,” Cincotti says, “They close off the street, people come out with their lawn chairs and blankets and it’s just a great time.” The concert kicks off at 7pm.

They Know Nightlife Now in its fourth summer, mur.mur has settled in as a staple among the Atlantic City nightlife scene

By Ray Schweibert

B

ORGATA HOTEL CASINO & SPA WAS QUICK to capitalize on what it recognized as a shortcoming on the Atlantic City gaming landscape when it arrived in the marina district in July 2003.

The gaming options themselves are not what had been tagged as lacking — it was other amenities like upscale accommodations, dining and nightlife alternatives that kept customers contented and coming back.

Those latter two categories spurred the Borgata brass to begin what was termed “Borgata Amplified” about five months after the original ribbon-cutting ceremony took place. The company poured another $200 million (on top of the casino/hotel/spa’s initial $1.1 billon cost) into its investment, and a big chunk of that cash went into the construction of the subterranean, 8,300-squarefoot nightclub called mur.mur. Borgata’s first nightclub, MIXX, served the dual purpose of a restaurant by day and a nightclub by night, but as Borgata’s vast array of dining establishments was being assembled, MIXX morphed into a nightclub-only setting.

None of the red-carpet treatment mur.mur started has slackened with the weakened economy.

Mur.mur, meanwhile, took off as the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights, predominantly among the well-to-do younger and early middle-aged set. It brought in DJs who had stellar reputations from around the world, celebrities as guest DJs, and spared no expense with a million-dollar audio-visual package, intimate furnishings and accessories, and European bottle service.

And it wasn’t just a bait-and-switch plan that abated as mur.mur’s reputation grew. Check out the company’s Web site and who’s appearing on a weekend-to-weekend basis year-round, and you’ll notice that none of the red-carpet treatment mur.mur started has slackened with the weakened economy.

“Mur.mur is a destination in and of itself that guests plan their night around,” says Borgata public relations representative Noel Stevenson. “Mur.mur offers the style and cache that one would find in social hotspots in New York, Los Angeles or Miami.”

This Friday and next (Aug. 21 and 28), renowned New York City DJ Eli Escobar will run the show at mur.mur. On Saturday, DJ Samantha Ronson, daughter of former Foreigner guitarist Mike Jones, will be spinning, and on mur.mur Monday (Aug. 24), the party will be in the hands of Los Angeles-based DJ Kevin Scott, who was the original resident DJ at the distinguished LAX nightclub in Las Vegas.

“It is not uncommon for us to host the staff from

some of the hottest clubs in New York City on Mondays, who come to Borgata as a sort of Vegasstyle escape from the city,” says Stevenson. “Mur.mur Mondays has become an extremely popular industry night here in A.C., while also becoming a draw for New Yorkers and Philadelphia patrons, and as an extension of our weekend nights. We continue to do events like the recent LMFAO performance, and Karina and Max of DWTS who hosted [this past Monday].”

Mur.mur, like MIXX, has private tables and alcoves that can be reserved for VIP bottle service that starts at around $300. Mur.mur has a large sunken dance floor and elevated platforms where professional, scantily clad dancers perform. Flanking the dance floor to the right and left of the entrance are two large bars, and directly across from the entrance is an elevated row of banquettes overlooking the dance floor called King’s Row. “What we see at our venues is that our nightlife customers are coming from all aspects of tri-state area — New York City, Philadelphia, New Jersey and the D.C. area as well — to experience MIXX and mur.mur,” says Stevenson. “Our nightlife and entertainment offerings are a main driver of them staying at Borgata or The Water Club for an evening or weekend.” n

(500) Days of Summer

Bittersweet ‘Summer’ Margate-born scribe delivers an anti-romcom; ‘District 9’ is racially tense sci-fi

By Lori Hoffman

A

FTER SEEING THE MOVIES Brick and Mysterious Skin via Netflix, I made a pledge to myself: From now on, when Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in a small-scale indie movie, I’m going to see it in the theater. In the new anti-romcom, (500) Days of Summer, Gordon-Levitt does not disappoint. Not only is JGL fabulous, he teams up with a homeboy from Margate, N.J., screenwriter Scott Neustadter, who based his story (co-written with Michael H. Weber), on his own experiences with relationships and heartache.

Directed by Marc Webb, Gordon-Levitt is Tom, a man who once had aspirations (500) Days of Summer HHHH Directed by Marc Webb; rated PG13 District 9 HHHH Written & directed by Neil Blomkamp; rated R

to be an architect, but has settled into life as a greeting-card writer. The woman of his dreams arrives when Summer (Zooey Deschanel) is hired as a new employee.

Their romance is not the stuff of fairytales, except from Tom’s mildly selfdelusional point of view. She tells him she doesn’t believe in love. Since he was struck by love at first sight, Tom prefers to assume that she will eventually change her mind about the possibility of love.

In fact, she does change her mind, but not in the way that other bloated Hollywood romcoms manipulate reality to shoehorn it into a happy ending. This bittersweet tale is infused with several movie references including the top note of The Graduate and references to Ingmar Bergman’s Persona and The Seventh Seal.

There is also a hilarious musical fantasy segment. Deschanel nearly matches

Gordon-Levitt in quality of performance, and together with an excellent screenplay and direction, (500) Days of Summer adds up to the best sleeper of the season.

Alien Nation District 9 is a down and dirty sci-fi flick that uses insect-like aliens from outer space to make a point about racial prejudice. Produced by Peter Jackson and written and directed by South African Neil Blomkamp, it presents the intriguing premise that 20 years ago an alien spaceship landed above Johannesburg, South Africa, filled with starving aliens who look like giant crustaceans.

African government fed them and nursed them back to health, then shoved them away in a shanty-town ghetto, to begin a whole new take on apartheid.

District 9 presents an intriguing set-up that is brilliant in some moments and pedestrian in others. It suggests that too often human beings put themselves in a position of power and control in order to show their superiority to those they deem less worthy. One of the administrators who has been dealing with the “prawns,” as they are referred to with distaste, is Wikus Van De Merwe (Sharlto Copley). However, when something happens to Wilkus, he has to look at his behavior from the prawns’ point of view.

The movie turns into a horror comedy once humans start getting zapped by alien weaponry; the “superior” beings are merely getting what they deserve. n

THE ‘F’ WORD

Now That’s a Handshake I

By Whitney Ullman

N MY JULY 16 ARTICLE, I WROTE BRIEFLY about important aspects of networking when attending a function. A few key points I mentioned were how important it is to meet new people, try not to get stuck with the “time taker uppers” and to make yourself approachable at events.

Many of you in recent weeks have told me that you valued that advice and have tried some of these things at various functions with success. I commend you for going out of your comfort zone and taking the steps necessary to start your journey of efficient networking.

You may ask, ‘Is it that easy?’ Well, it can be, but there are few more important steps that you should know and follow.

First, the proper etiquette for wearing a name badge is to wear it on your right side. Most people tend to put it on their left; however, the psychology behind it is when you extend your hand for a handshake your eyes naturally aim to the top of the right shoulder. This way if you want to know someone’s name — or if you know the person but just can’t remember his or her name — then you can take that quick glance. On that same note, if you forget someone’s name throughout the evening, don’t be afraid to tell them and ask again because chances are they forgot yours as well.

Second, it can be a bit intimidating when you start talking to all of these new people and collecting all their business cards. You come home at the end of the night and think about all of the great new people you just met. However, once you start to go through all the business cards you realize that you may not remember the exact details from a particular conversation, or — even worse — if you wait a week or so until you go through the cards you most likely won’t even remember what the person looks like. Believe me, it is a tried and true

fields such as sales, marketing, accounting and finances.

There were over 2,500 women of all ages (a few guys too) and everyone was so open, friendly, and, best of all, willing to give advice. It was truly a blessing to meet all of these great people and I came home feeling enlightened, inspired and definitely motivated.

Every woman ought to go at least once to this annual conference to understand the seriousness of how this organization truly wants to empower women and to understand the depth of the relationships that can be built.

For now, I have a better idea. I realized that I don’t have to go halfway across the country to get this same experience on a monthly basis. We are so fortunate to have many groups like this in our area and eWomen is definitely a powerful one to be a part of. I know that every time I leave our monthly meeting I always come away with the same sentiments as I did upon leaving Texas.

Finally, try not to sit down (even when eating). It is Come out and see what the buzz is all about and meet important to make yourself approachable. When you sit the local chapter’s executive managing director Marilyn down people either won’t notice you or won’t want to Kleinberg. You think I know everyone, try talking to her! The meetings are every third Friday of the month bother you. I hope that some of these tips helped.

And don’t worry; there are still a few more up my in Atlantic County (breakfast) and every first Wednesday in Voorhees (lunch). Check out www.ewomennetwork. sleeve so stay tuned. com/chapter/snj for more details. Happy networking! n theory. So to alleviate all of the anxiety, the best thing to do is write something on the back of the card as soon as you get it. I usually put the date and place I met the person and then something to remind me of the conversation we had.

Third, make sure you have a firm handshake. People always compliment me on my handshake and it makes a great first impression. Especially with people who aren’t expecting it.

Wear your name badge on the right side.

Most people tend to put it on their left.

Whitney’s Radar:

I just got back from an extraordinary conference in Dallas, Texas, for the eWomen Network. As some of you may know, I won an award recently as an emerging leader in southern New Jersey by the local chapter of eWomen Network and was selected as one of 12 women across the United States and Canada for the national honor.

I was so humbled to win. I couldn’t wait to get to Dallas and meet others in the same boat as me, as well as get expert advice from well-known people in specific

As the dog days of August start to wind down, O.C.’s regular slate of live music gets a little eclectic in the summer heat this week.

Monday marks the last of the Stockton Goes to the Beach summer concert series at the Music Pier. The series, which brought the likes of Dickey Betts and Hal Ketchum to the city this year, goes out with some hard Christian rock with the group Kutless ($25, 8pm). The group has had several hits in the decade and are a hard rock/alternative rock band inspired by such mainstream bands as Creed and Incubus. Teamed with last Monday’s Dokken concert, the series is leaving the Music Pier rocking as it concludes.

Sunday and Tuesday, the Ocean City Pops takes the pier back to the ’60s with a salute to the Rat Pack. Broadway stars Sal Viviano, Nat Chandler and Eric Jordan Young recreate Sammy, Frank and Dean as they held sway over Las

Boardwalk. Conclusion of Wacky But Not Tacky, theses events are fun for the entire family. Free. 11am each day. Call 525-9300 or visit ocnj,us.

FRIDAY AUG. 21

Kutless Vegas in the golden age of hip ($25/$20, 8pm). Wednesday, hip goes back even farther when the Barbone Street Jazz Band brings a little New Orleans-style jazz to the pier. The band is a popular pier performer and has been brought back by popular demand ($10, 8pm).

Gene Martinelli, creator of Latitude 39 in Gardner’s Basin, wears many hats.

By Frank Gabriel PHOTO BY NICK VALINOTE

F

OR FIRST-TIME RESTAURATEUR Gene Martinelli, Atlantic City’s Latitude 39 represents the logical combination of his two livelihoods and passions.

Martinelli, a marine contractor and farmer by trade, has blended those two occupations agreeably with his new Gardner’s Basin business. The Hammonton native — who farms a 140-acre blueberry patch — saw an opportunity to acquire a location formerly known as the Lobster Shanty several years ago while working nearby.

Calling the property “dilapidated, but a diamond in the rough,” he bought and then renovated extensively, opening this past Memorial Day weekend. That rehab project, “replaced everything from the pilings up to the roof, which was kept because it is historic,” representing an investment of well more than $250,000 from Martinelli. That daunting figure should tell you something about the proprietor and his intention to be a part of the Atlantic City community for quite some time.

Latitude 39, taking its name from the location on a map, was inspired by a similar restaurant Martinelli frequented on fishing trips to Cabo San Luca, Latitude 22. Serving breakfast and lunch only, they rise earlier than almost any similar facility we know of, opening at 5:30am daily.

Capturing early-morning boat traffic is all

Dawn Tinkcom serves up fresh blueberry pancakes

part of Martinelli’s strategy, and he also mentions receiving good support from regular customers who are fire, police and construction workers. In a town that operates 24 a day, nonstop, this only makes good sense. He also demonstrates a remarkable consciousness of the island’s history, explaining, “there’s no great place in town since Gilchrist’s [the legendary Absecon Island breakfast spot] moved offshore.”

The physical property itself offers both

indoor and exterior deck dining, with a capacity of nearly 150 patrons.

The lead man in the kitchen is chef Greg Wallace, a former Showboat staffer with more than two decades of experience. As for the menu, those blueberries show up prominently in both pancakes as well as a southern-influenced house special, blueberry bread pudding. There’s something amazing about being able to serve food you’ve grown personally, as it provides an element

of quality control that is literally unmatchable. Think about that the next time you’re digging into a stack of those pancakes.

Other favorites include a hearty Italian omelet with pepperoni, mushrooms, roasted peppers and provolone cheese, and Johnny Cakes, although not the traditional New England preparation with which food folks might be familiar. These aren’t made of corn, but instead include the novel addition of Raisinets and Goobers to standard pancake batter.

From the lunch side of the menu, soups are the first things that the owner extols.

All are homemade, including a variety of chowders.

Chef Wallace’s Alabama family roots are further showcased with the Po’ Boy sandwich, fried local scallops on a roll from Aversa’s Bakery, layered with a signature lemon and tomato-based remoulade sauce.

And while Martinelli is pleased thus far with his restaurant’s rate of progress, he wants to utilize the skills of his trade to improve and beautify the entire Basin District, telling us, “I’m looking forward to working with the city to create more boat slips, and make this a destination spot up and down the coast.”

With plans to be here year-round, Latitude 39 and its owner are one of the region’s newest, brightest dining assets. n E-mail Frank Gabriel at fgabriel@acweekly.com

EDITOR’S CHOICE

The Country Teacher

As a film critic, I love the opportunity that foreign films provide to learn about other cultures. One of the best aspects of learning about other cultures is finding out how much we have in common with those cultures. It is one of the joys of attending the Toronto International Film Festival every year. Turns out you don’t have to go to Canada to see an exploration of cultural diversity since the Margate Library is providing it right here. The library completes its summer line-up of international cinema with two more films. The films are shown in the library’s meeting room on Thursday, Aug. 20 and Sept. 3, and begin at 6pm. The screenings are free; for more info call 822-4700.

Aug. 20: A Peck on the Cheek (India, 2002) Director Mani Ratnam presents a glimpse of the Island of Sri Lanka at civil war, through the eyes of a child of Sri Lankan Tamil parentage, who desires to meet her biological mother. Won the best film award at six international film festivals.

Sept. 3: The Country Teacher (Czech, 2008) The title character, a pensive, bespectacled Czech in his 30s, impulsively leaves Prague to take a job teaching natural science and delves into biological diversity as it applies to human behavior, especially sexuality. V.A. Musetto of the N.Y. Post says of the film, “Directed by Bohdan Sláma, it deals with weighty issues — loneliness, — Lori Hoffman sexual identity, love (straight and gay) — in a quiet, intelligent fashion.”

N OCEAN BREEZE KEPT THE SETTING COOL until the contestants took to the stage Sunday, Aug. 16, afternoon. Then things really got hot.

Once the original covey of curvaceous ladies was whittled down to a desirable dozen the weekend before at The Deck at Trump Marina, the final contenders in the inaugural Miss Atlantic City Weekly Bikini Contest — each of whom will represent a month on the 2010 AC Weekly calendar — did their little turn on the catwalk at the Trump Plaza Beach Bar. A panel of eight judges, among them Review Publishing (AC Weekly’s parent company) president George Troyano and local photographer Alex Anton, rated each lady on how they looked in their bikinis and, theoretically but to a much lesser extent, personal criteria such as their likes and dislikes.

When the final votes were tallied, 24-year-old Jessica Fromal, a 2003 graduate of Egg Harbor Township High School and an EHT resident, won the judges’ and spectators’ affection. Her friend and fellow EHT resident, Lauren Urso, 22, was the contest’s first runner-up.

“I didn’t really care who won, I was just hoping it was either [Lauren] or me,” says Fromal, who received $1,000 as the winner ($500 cash plus a $500 gift certificate to Trump Marina), and a one-year modeling contract with the Philadelphia-based agency JS Models LLC. “We enjoy competing but it’s hard work staying in shape and keeping yourself looking good, and we want people to know that.

It’s fun but it’s a business we’re in, and we’re not in it just to take an attitude like ‘Look at us’ — it’s what we like to do and we take it seriously. We’re down-to-earth girls who try to get along with each other and the other contestants.”

The field of 12 was narrowed to six and then three, and the Beach Bar’s capacity crowd had the final say in who took the crown based on intensity of applause. Fromal’s decibel levels were louder than those of the others, including second runner-up Helene Vaspoli of Ventnor, 31, a roller girl at Resorts’ retro nightclub Boogie Nights.

Fromal is a Borgata Babe and, like Urso, Vaspoli and several other young women from the area, served as hosts representing the Girls of Playboy Golf back in June. Playboy Golf co-hosted with Trump Entertainment Resorts an annual golf tournament at Renault’s Vineyard Golf Course in June, and has another event scheduled for Sept. 12 at Atlantic City Country Club.

Urso, a 2005 EHT High School grad, says she was “reading AC Weekly at Trump Marina a few weeks back and saw the ad [for the bikini contest] and it looked like fun, so I thought I’d do it.”

The band Drop Dead Sexy entertained the crowd before the competition got under way, and during the final tabulations. The host for both the preliminary and final competitions was Scott Reilly, who co-hosts with Joe Boresello the “Morning Edge” radio show on WJSE-FM 102.7 in Linwood, and is a 2009 AC Weekly Top 40 Under 40 honoree.

Look out for Miss AC Weekly at events through 2010, including this fall’s 35th anniversary party. Congratulations to all of the women who entered the inaugural Miss Atlantic City Weekly competition. n

SPORTS: GOLF Buena Vista Country Club

Address: Country Club Lane (off Rt. 40), Buena Phone: 856-697-3733 (pro shop) On the Web: allforeclub.com/bvcc Buena Vista was built in 1957 by course architect William Gordon as a private club and, while it still offers an array of membership packages, has been open to the public since 1978. Its course superintendent, Benjamin Dunn, has been there for over 25 years. The club prides itself in quality facilities (which also include a bar-and-grill, banquet room and full-service pro shop) at modest prices.

“One of the great distinguishing factors of Buena Vista is that you’re playing a truly championship golf course for a very affordable rate,” says Buena Vista director of golf and PGA pro Kevin Cotter. “We’re very value driven in that way.”

On Tuesdays and Thursdays a round

Buena Vista’s course of golf is just $32 before 11am and $29 after 11am. Regular weekday rates are $39 before 1pm, $29 after 1pm and $22 after 3pm. Every Tuesday is a Nine-n-Dine buffet that starts 3pm and entitles guests to golf, a cart and a buffet for just $29.

The course at Buena Vista includes four par-5 holes, four par-3s and 10 par-4s.

One of its most challenging holes is the par-5 10th that is 502 yards to the green from the longest of four tee boxes. It is partially bordered by a bunker that runs about 200 yards long.

“It’s sort of a Carolina-style course that pretty much accommodates all skill levels,” says Cotter. “There’s a lot of pines and a heavy pine-needle base on the woodline, which makes it pretty easy to find your ball and easy to play shots from those areas. “[Due to the economy] we’ve lowered our rates a few bucks from last year and it’s paid off well for us,” he adds. “This summer we’ve been very busy.”

Golf Pro Tip: This week’s tip comes from Charles Fahy, director of golf operations for Atlantic City Country Club in Northfield. It deals with the importance of proper alignment during the golf swing. “One of the most basic fundamentals of the golf swing is proper alignment.

Alignment can likely be the one thing you are doing wrong when your swing goes astray. Even low handicappers and professional golfers, for that matter, check their alignment when they are hitting the ball unfavorably. Alignment is something

that most golfers do wrong and some don’t even understand, and therefore keep going in the wrong direction.

“Proper alignment has the club face pointing toward the target, and your feet, knees, hips and shoulders pointed parallel left of that target for right-handed golfers, and parallel right for left-handed golfers. If you can picture railroad tracks running toward the target, with the one rail on the ball line and the other along the line your feet, knees, hips, and shoulders are on, you are in good shape.

“Now where most amateurs get in trouble is when they start slicing the ball — right-handed golfers aim further left, which makes things worse. I am a firm believer that you should only make small changes on the golf course, and leave the larger changes for the range. So next time your ball starts going astray from your target, remember to look at your alignment and you’ll be one step closer to a good golf swing.”

Still Telling the Story There’s been a decade of free summer jazz on the Atlantic City Boardwalk thanks to Henrietta Shelton and the Chicken Bone Beach concert series

By Michael Pritchard

I

PHOTO BY NICK VALINOTE

Saxman Bootsie Barnes played July 9

people at its small stage. But several hundred other people attend shows spread out in the plaza’s colonnade or standing around the seating. And that’s not even mentioning the hundreds of Boardwalk strollers who simply stop and take in a few numbers.

So with all this success and notoriety, the hardest thing for Shelton to understand is why, year after year, she has to work so hard to fund the series.

“The fund-raising is still pretty bad,” she says. “It shocks me sometimes. We’re bringing in a lot of people to see these shows and it’s a big part of summer, yet we still don¹t get that much support. But the sponsors we do have are wonderful and there’s a lot of people who have been with me from the start. We’re like a family now.”

In the past, the series has received support from groups such as the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, which then dried up. Public money in particular has been very hard to come by for Shelton.

An exception this year came from the Atlantic City Free Public Library, which itself has become a major sponsor of free concerts in the city. The library puts on a series of free summer concerts at Kennedy Plaza on Wednesdays, when it offers its

International Night Series, bringing a diverse group of ethnic acts to the city, and also sponsors concerts at Gardner’s Basin and at the library itself.

Shelton also receives support from a number of sponsors such as Kramer Beverages/Coors, Comcast and local companies such as the Zeo Brothers.

This year the series cost about $30,000, Shelton says. But at its inception, the series rang up a tab closer to $100,000 to $150,000 as Shelton brought in big name groups In those days, Shelton often spent a lot of her own money on the series, one year hitting $14,000. This year she figures she’s in for $1,000.

“It was a good year for me, because I didn’t have to use my American Express card once. I was just resolved not to do it. I still spend some money however, you know at Kinkos, and I wanted to get some hats made this year. But this was nothing compared to some years. There were a few years where I would use that card and it would really add up.”

Though Shelton and the Chicken Bone Beach Historical Foundation have won several awards and accolades for the series, the concerts exist for one simple reason, to educate people about Chicken Bone Beach and the strong musical legacy of Atlantic City, especially in the leg-

endary Kentucky Avenue jazz clubs that existed in the 1940s through the ’70s.

Chicken Bone Beach was the name given to the beach at Missouri Avenue, which was the only beach open to African-Americans in the city’s highly segregated past. Though it may seem derogatory, the name was embraced by the African-American community, who made the beach a central part of family life in the resort.

“I grew up in Atlantic City and it bothers me that people who come here now don’t know how dynamite the community was,” Shelton says. “They look at the north side and they don’t realize what a great place this was. I would be on the beach and I’d see Sarah Vaughan or Sammy Davis Jr. [who also weren’t allowed on ‘white beaches’]. There were just great and wonderful clubs on Kentucky Avenue and it really was a wonderful feeling. I wanted to tell that story to people.”

And the language she chose to tell her story was jazz.

“Atlantic City has always been a great place for music,” Shelton says. “I picked jazz because I personally love jazz. But I could have picked rhythm and blues or gospel and we would have been just as successful.

“But I also wanted to attract a serene crowd,” she says. “ I think jazz appeals to a more mature mind set and our crowds are very serene. We have very few problems with our audiences. And our audiences are very culturally diverse as well.

I’m very proud of that.”

So what does the future hold? Shelton will continue trying to find the sponsors to put on the series, now buoyed by the library and other state grants, and would like to expand into educational programs for children. But what she’d really like to see is a permanent memorial to the city’s musical heritage.

“My dream is to have a jazz hall of fame in the city some day,” she says.

“I have so many things from the Club Harlem and Kentucky Avenue. I really think this is a perfect place. I’d love to see that some day.”

Considering the success of the concerts, we wouldn’t bet against it. n

T’S BEEN 10 YEARS SINCE Henrietta Shelton first organized the Chicken Bone Beach free concert series on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.

And despite a decade of bringing great jazz groups to the resort, the biggest testament to the series’ success may come on Thursday, Aug. 27, when New York’s Finest Jazz Ensemble (made up of N.Y.P.D officers, thus New York’s finest) takes the stage.

It’s not that the group is the best to ever play in the series (though we‘re sure they‘re very good), but rather how this extra, unscheduled concert came about.

“They called me and they wanted to play,” Shelton says. “And of course, we’re thrilled to have them. But it shows that our series has become pretty well known.

It’s a band of policemen from New York and they heard about the series and wanted to come down. It was a great surprise and it lets us put on one more concert this year.”

If you haven’t heard about the series, which will produce a total of seven free concerts this year, including Thursday’s (Aug. 20) concert by jazz pianist Helen Sung and the group Mysterious Traveler, you’ve missed a lot of solid and free entertainment through the years. Each concert, except the New York’s Finest appearance, features two acts and has brought in names such as Steve Turre and Tia Fuller this year, plus groups such as the Hassan Abdullah Quintet and the Tony Day Trio.

And the series has developed a following that can be considered nationwide.

“We are getting a lot of attention outside of Atlantic City,” Shelton says. “I’ve talked to people who call us in the spring and they actually want to book their vacation around our schedule. They get a little mad sometimes when we haven’t put it together yet. But I’ve even heard of travel agencies as far away as California who name us as a highlight of a trip to Atlantic City. Then a lot of our audience is ex-Atlantic City people who remember Chicken Bone Beach and come back to see friends an hear the show. We get a lot of regulars.”

The performances are held at Kennedy Plaza, which has seating for about 250

Disney’s latest pop princess Demi Lovato backs up her style with plenty of substance

By Joe Szczechowski

N THE 1960S, MOTOWN RECORDS used the slogan “The Sound of Young America” to tout its roster of fresh musical talent as well as the demographic of its target audience. Today that title would most accurately belong to Disney’s Hollywood Record label, which has become the primary launching pad for teenage musical talent aimed at an even younger teen market.

Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers might be the best known artists on Hollywood’s roster, but singer, songwriter, and actress Demi Lovato, who performs Saturday, Aug. 22, at the Trump Taj Mahal’s Etess Arena, is rapidly establishing herself as a legitimate pop star.

American Idol runner-up David Archuleta opens the show.

Like other young stars in the Disney family, Lovato, who turns 17 the day this week’s issue of AC Weekly hits the stands, stars in her own Disney Channel sitcom, Sonny With a Chance. But unlike some of her peers, Lovato has always made it clear that music, not acting, is her “first passion.”

Born Demetria Devonne Lovato in Dallas, Texas, on Aug. 20, 1992, Lovato began her acting career at age six on the children’s television series Barney and Friends. There she met Selena Gomez, her Disney Channel co-star with whom she remains best friends. Lovato appeared on several TV shows and series before landing the role of Mitchie Torres in 2008’s Camp Rock opposite the Jonas Brothers.

For her 2008 debut album Don’t Forget Lovato co-wrote several songs with the three Jonas Brothers. The result was rockedged pop closer in style to Avril Lavigne than Miley Cyrus. Critics took note of the fact that Lovato co-wrote her own material, and her live performances confirmed that her sturdy voice was no studio creation.

On stage, Lovato focused more on playing guitar and piano than her dance moves.

On her current CD, Here We Go Again, Lovato takes another step forward. Her singing voice has matured nicely, developing a gritty lower register that compliments her higher range. Although she has a tendency to succumb to the “breathy” delivery that seems fashionable among young female singers, Lovato’s phrasing is leagues ahead of that of most of her peers.

In “World of Chances” she sings “You’ve got a face for a smile, you know / A shame

The next Miley?

you waste it when you’re breaking me slowly / But I’ve got a world of chances for you / Chances that you’re burning through” and the heartbreak is palpable.

“I wanted to make an album that parents would enjoy listening to while their kids are playing it in the car with them,” Lovato says in a recent telephone interview for AC Weekly. “It’s nice because now people get to see what I’m all about. This album is more me and hopefully they like it.”

Here We Go Again features plenty of high-energy pop-rock tunes (notably the title track, “Solo,” and “Everything You’re Not”) for Lovato’s younger fans to bounce along with, but the most pleasant surprises on the album are the songs on which Lovato stretches out stylistically.

On “Every Time You Lie” she shows off her sassy side on a sultry, R&B-flavored kiss-off to an ex-boyfriend, then charms with her sweet, romantic side on “Falling

Over Me.” On “Got Dynamite” Lovato channels her idol Kelly Clarkson with an edgy rocker that would fit comfortably on Clarkson’s latest album.

The aforementioned “World of Chances” is a mid-tempo ballad Lovato wrote with John Mayer that could be embraced by both Top-40 and Adult Contemporary radio. Lovato says collaborating with Mayer was “a dream come true.”

“One of the best parts about being in this industry is getting to meet and work with the people who have inspired you,” she says. “I was intimidated at first, but he’s such a down-to-earth guy that when we started writing I forgot who he was and just appreciated his music. He made it really comfortable.”

One of Lovato’s favorite songs on the album is “Stop The World,” which she co-wrote with Nick Jonas. “I put a lot of personal things into it,” she says. “The

song is basically about like falling in love with someone you shouldn’t fall in love with, which is what I tend to do.”

Another personal song is “Catch Me,” a pretty acoustic ballad with a string section, reminiscent of the Plain White T’s hit “Hey There Delilah.” Lovato calls the song, about the pleasures of falling in love, her “baby” since she wrote it alone in her room. She says she was thrilled when producer John Fields told her it was good enough to make the album.

Although she always intended Here We Go Again to be more personal and reflect her maturity, Lovato seems keenly aware that her core audience might not be ready to grow up too soon.

“You can’t do that overnight,” she says.

“You don’t just wake up one day and say, ‘I don’t want to be teen star anymore. I want to be respected as an adult.’ I think it’s something that you start working on at an early age.

“Since I do want to have a long-lasting career, I want my fans to grow with me,” she adds. “So with the projects that I take on and the roles that I take, I ask myself if they are appropriate for younger audiences — ‘Is this something that is a little more mature, but not so much that it will scare my fans away?’”

With that in mind, a few songs written for Here We Go Again were left on the shelf, including one about her relationship with her estranged biological father entitled “For the Love of a Daughter,” which Lovato wrote with William Beckett from the emo-band The Academy Is. “When I’m a little older, maybe my fans will be ready,” Lovato says. “But this album really expresses my writing and outlook right now.”

Lovato’s Atlantic City show is one of the final stops on her summer tour. She’s set to film Camp Rock 2 in September, followed by another season of Sonny With A Chance, and her third album after that.

It’s a busy schedule, even for an energetic 17-year-old who hopes to attend Boston’s Berklee College of Music one day.

“I wish I had more time off or more time at home,” Lovato admits, “but you’ve got to work hard to get to where you want to be.”

So far, so good — or as Lovato sings in the theme song for Sonny With A Chance: “So far, so great.” n see more online @

CURTAIN CALL

Dom Just Says ‘No’ I

By David J. Spatz

T ’ S S H O W T I M E F O R BRUCE Springsteen. An audience of about 20,000 fans, already worked into a lather because they’re going to share the same air as The Boss, explodes in cheers as the lights come down. Screams of “Br-u-u-u-u-u-uce” bounce off the walls of the venue as the crowd listens closely hoping to identify the opening song with just one note.

Will it be “Badlands,” which he used to open shows on his tour earlier this year?

Or “Radio Nowhere”?

Nope. To open his show, Springsteen has chosen ... comedian Dom Irrera.

Not! “I met [Springsteen] one night when we were doing (Late Night with) Conan O’Brien and Bruce asked me if I ever open for rockers,” Irrera says. “I said, ‘Man, you of all people, I would never open for you. I can see it now: The lights would come up and they’d see me standing there with a microphone instead of you. No thanks.’”

It takes a performer fairly confident and content with his place in the comedy universe to turn down a potential gig with Springsteen, and that’s the Philadelphia-born Irrera.

He’s more than paid his dues as an unbilled opening act for rock stars. Years ago, he warmed an audience for Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in Asbury Park. “[The promoter] handed me $300 before I went on and told me to stay on as long as I could,” Irrera tells me with a laugh during a recent phone call from his Los Angeles home. “I came off after three minutes and [the promoter] told me I’d lasted longer than anybody.”

Closer to home, Irrera was a special guest distraction in the late 1980s when a capacity crowd at the old Sands Hotel & Casino was restless to see Cher make her Copa Room debut. They eventually saw the glitter gypsy, but not before Irrera — unbilled — walked on stage cold without so much as an introduction and did a

20-minute set.

“I don’t need that kind of a challenge any more,” Irrera says. “I paid my dues.”

Irrera, 62, has been dividing his time between stand-up comedy dates and TV appearances that includes his latest project, The Supreme Court of Comedy on DirecTV. Irrera presides as the judge over real-life disputes. The show, not unlike Irrera’s stand-up act, is completely unpredictable and mostly unscripted.

“Even with my act, I don’t care about a script,” he says. “If I think of something funny, I’m gonna say it, and then we’ll see where it goes. But I’m not going to not say something because it I might not be able to get back to a script. I hate working like that.”

Unlike many of Irrera’s comedy contemporaries, who craft a carefully written stand-up show and then stick to the script word for word, Irrera is constantly changing his material. He has a few bits he’s been doing for years, but there’s no guarantee he’ll perform them each night.

He likes to keep the structure of his act loose because it’s easier to improvise than having to veer away from a scripted act.

“The good thing about keeping it loose is that I ... can improvise and be spontaneous,” Irrera says.

But, like a singer with hits songs from the past, Irrera knows he has to perform some of the routines that helped him make the leap from opening act to headliner.

“Sometimes, [the audience] will ask for certain bits, and I’ll usually do them because they paid and I want them to have a good time,” he says. “And if I don’t do something, then some guy’s gonna come up to me after the show and tell me he brought his brother-in-law 40 miles from Vineland to see me do [the routine] ‘Big Petey, Little Petey’ and then I didn’t do it.”

Irrera headlines Aug. 28, along with comedian Jeffrey Ross, at Borgata’s Music Box. n
