Library Roars Back to the ‘20s

Scooter Rentals • We Deliver To All Atlantic City Casinos Free!

In anticipation of the second season of the HBO hit docudrama Boardwalk Empire, the Atlantic City Free Public Library is hosting a special program series called “Roaring Back to the ’20s” that highlights the golden era in Atlantic City history. Among the events is a free concert on the Boardwalk showcasing the era’s music and dance on Saturday, Sept.

24, at Kennedy Plaza. Artists include the Jersey Rhythm Devils (with Linda DeVaul, Mark DeVaul, Tamara DeMent, Mike Hoebler and AC Weekly editor Jeff Schwachter), the Jim Craine Band (with Craine, Tony DeLuca, Jimmie Hines, Ray Nunzi), and a dance demonstration by Melanie Brough, who will don a “flapper” outfit and teach attendees some period-appropriate dance moves. The series kicks off this Saturday, Sept. 3, with a book discussion by Brother’s Keeper author Jim Waltzer (an AC Weekly columnist) at 2pm at the library (1 N. Tennessee Ave.), and a panel discussion on “people, places and events of the 1920s” at the library on Oct. 29 with three of A.C.’s foremost historians — Ralph Hunter, Boo Pergament and Nelson Johnson (author of the book on which the Boardwalk Empire TV series was based).

The library will also enhance its Atlantic City Experience: 1920s’ exhibit by adding rarely seen childhood photos of Enoch “Nucky” Johnson to the display this month. The photos (including the one above) are from the library’s Alfred M. Heston Collection and will also be added to the Atlantic City Experience Web site — atlanticcityexperience. org. Call 345-2269 ext. 3115 for more information.

“Few bands swing the blues more exuberantly than Roomful of Blues,” according to Entertainment Weekly, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more tight-knit, well-versed and inspired blues band in today’s field. On the band’s new album, Hook, Line & Sinker, the horn-equipped New England-based band plays songs by American music icons such as Amos Milburn (“Juice, Juice, Juice”), the late Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown (“She walks Right In,” “Gate Walks to Board”) and the legendary songwriting duo Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller (“It”). The band plays for free on the A.C. Boardwalk Sunday, Sept. 4, at Kennedy Plaza as part of the summer-long Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk series. Although last Monday’s Curtis Salgado Band concert was canceled due to Hurricane Irene, this Sunday will feature 90-minute sets by two bands. At 6:30pm one of New Orleans’ funkiest jam bands, the Honey Island Swamp Band, will perform a full set. Then ROB will hit the stage for its own full set. This is the final show of the summer in the free Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk series, in its second year. Judging from the shows we caught, it was more than a successful season of live music courtesy of Tony Mart’s Presents and the many series sponsors, including Atlantic City Weekly.

— Jeff Schwachter

The members of the acclaimed Touareg group Tinariwen began recording and dispersing cassettes of their emotionally charged music in the 1980s throughout Saharan North Africa, where a revolution was taking place. The group of soldiermusicians spent years in a military camp in Libya prior to the Touareg rebellion broke out and sent them to fight in the southern Sahara. Decades later the Touareg revolution has morphed into a musical one with Tinariwen leading the charge.

Anti- Records has just released the band’s latest, on which the members shelve their electric guitars for acoustic instruments. Recorded in the Algerian desert, Tassili features the band’s unique desert blues sound stripped down to its weary, sacred, mournful and timeless essence. — Jeff Schwachter

GET GUAC’D BEFORE YOUR NIGHT OUT PRE-PARTY AT

tlantic city’s premier poker event, the Borgata poker open, starts Wednesday, sept. 7, with a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool, $400 + $50 no limit tournament. and while some of the city’s other poker room managers might not like to hear it, there’s no question that the Borgata open is the city’s premier poker event of the year.

First off, its championship event, a $3 million guaranteed, $3,300 + $200 no limit event scheduled for sept. 18-23 isn’t just a World poker tour event, it’s one of the most well-attended events on the tour. last year’s championship event drew 1,042 players. and at the moment, the open championship sits as the richest atlantic city tournament of the year as the taj mahal has not announced a schedule for its U.s. poker championship in november. (last year’s U.s.p.c. had a $5,000 buy-in championship, well below the Borgata open’s $3 million guarantee, drawing only 96 entries.) if that’s not enough to set the Borgata open apart, then all you have to do is look at what has become an illustrious history of champions for the event. names such as Daniel negreanu, roy Winston and last year’s champion Dwyte pilgrim are on the list of the eight previous champions. and while many Borgata champions have gone on to other major wins, it’s amazing how many got their first huge pay day, and consequently made a name for themselves, at the Borgata open. negreanu, for example is one of the biggest stars in poker. He’s first in tournament winnings with more than $14.6 million. But it was his win at the Borgata open in 2004 that started to propel him to stardom. the $1.17 million win was his first cash of over a million dollars. negreanu, of course, has taken poker stardom to new heights as an author, popular blogger and just being one of the most outspoken players in the game. But his first taste of the big time came in atlantic city.

For most of the remaining seven Borgata open champions, the september event comes in as the highest paydays of their career. that’s true of al adebeli (2005), mark newhouse (2006), Winston (2007), Vivek rajkumar (2008), olivier Busquet (2009) and pilgrim (2010).

that’s six in a row, if you’re counting. For some of those players, such as newhouse, the open is their only first place finish.

(By the way, the first Borgata open champion in 2003 was noli Francisco who won $470,000 in the inaugural event). so the Borgata open championship event is definitely a star maker and should bring out an impressive field. some of the names seen at last year’s event included Beth shak, steve Dannenmann, Jonathan little, lisa Hamilton, Bernard lee, kathy liebert and actor James Woods. as for the rest of the schedule, the open’s daily main events are pretty rich this year with most buy-ins set at $350 or higher. the first big buy-in is saturday’s (sept. 10) $1,000 + $90 no limit tournament. some other notable events early in the schedule include a seniors event ($350 + $50) on Friday sept. 9, an omaha H/l 8B on thursday sept. 8 ($350 + $50) and a Deepstack no limit game with a $100,000 prize pool guarantee sunday ($350 + $50). there’s also a $100,000 guaranteed, bounty tournament on thursday ($350 + $50 + $100), so the open starts out fast and furious. and who knows whose star will be on the rise? in some other news, n.J. state sen. raymond lesniak introduced a second version of a bill designed to allow intrastate internet gaming in new Jersey late last week that would require all bets to be made through atlantic city casinos, which would operate the online sites. the bill addresses a major concern of Gov. chris christie, who vetoed an earlier bill on online gaming. christie said the previous bill violated the state constitution, which only allows gaming in atlantic city. christie felt the previous bill would allow internet gaming parlors to spring up all over the state. the new bill, however, restricts online gaming to residences, which would be seen as making a bet in atlantic city where the computer servers would be located. the bill also prohibits any business or organization other than an atlantic city casino from offering online gambling access on its property.

However, the bill still provides for a $20 million subsidy to the horse-racing industry, which christie opposes. lesniak feels the governor’s mind can be changed on horse racing.

Good luck on that one. n

T BEGAN INNOCENTLY ENOUGH, one week ago today, with a short email from Longport Media president Dave Coskey: “Up for a 6-8 shift tomorrow night with Dan Skeldon?”

Hurricane Irene had just plowed through the Caribbean and the Bahamas and had her sights set on our little corner of the East Coast. Coskey envisioned a two-hour, pre-storm show that would preempt scheduled programming on NewsTalk1400 WOND, the radio group’s flagship AM station.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been contributing entertainment reports for two of the company’s stations. Coskey thought Skeldon, WMGM-NBC40’s chief meteorologist, and I would make a good team to talk listeners through the plans and preparations to weather a tropical system packing Irene’s punch.

But just as Hurricane Irene was born of a small tropical wave drifting off the African coast, the radio coverage of this potentially dangerous storm took on a life of its own. Shortly after he sent that e-mail, Coskey decided to take the unprecedented step of simulcasting the special across all of the company’s stations — WOND, KOOL 98-3, 103.7 WMGM, WILD 102.7 and WBSS 1490.

Suddenly, a Category-1 idea had been elevated to a Cat-5. He called a production meeting for first thing Friday morning, and by 10am, that two-hour special had mushroomed into almost 50 non-stop hours of storm coverage. Nothing like this had ever been attempted in this market — or most other markets, I suspect.

A broadcast team was quickly assembled. I would fly solo Friday from noon to 3pm, when Pinky Kravitz would do an expanded edition of his daily talk show.

I’d return at 6pm to work with Skeldon, only now we’d go until 9pm, when Scott Macom, a host of the weekly Fire & Ice show, would take listeners through the night.

For Saturday and Sunday, Don Williams, would fill the same 6 to 10am slot he does on weekdays. Kim Martin Like us:

— new to KOOL 98-3 — would work 10am-1pm, when Barbara Altman of the weekday Front Porch show would take over from 1 until 4pm. Pinky would return for his usual 4-6pm slot, Skeldon and I would return from 6 until 9pm and Macom would again do the overnight.

We broke from regular programming at noon Friday and I got the ball rolling as Irene continued her march up the coast. Regional radio legend Jackson T. Chase, who’s KOOL’s afternoon drive guy, helped me out with interviews and listener phone calls. The rest of Friday and most of Saturday went according to the plan. We interviewed local community leaders and emergency management people, broadcast updated information on evacuation plans and shared storm-prep tips.

But all hell broke loose Saturday around 8:30pm, as Irene began pounding the region. First, Skeldon reported a possible tornado — not uncommon when a hurricane approaches — had touched down in Lewes, Del., and damaged 25 houses.

Then we heard that a waterspout — a tornado over water — had been spotted in Delaware Bay. As this news was breaking, we lost power at Broadcast Center on New Road in Linwood. We broke out the flashlights as our producer, WOND production coordinator James Rabic, assisted by Macom, went into the driving rain and wind to fire up a small generator that would provide limited power to one of our studios.

While we struggled to get back on the air, Skeldon’s and my smart phones began going crazy with tornado warning alerts. The National Weather Service was reporting radar had picked up tornados; one was said to be in Longport; another was spotted on radar near the Margate Bridge and was moving west in the direction of Linwood.

We were literally in the dark and had no way of telling whether a funnel cloud was actually headed in our direction. A friend who lives just off

ABOR DAY WEEKEND IS JUST about here and the summer may be over for some, but for us Atlantic City-area folk the party doesn’t end.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Howard Weiss, the regional director of nightlife operations and strategy development at Caesars Entertainment. Caesars Entertainment embodies some of the hippest places to party and dance including the celebrity hot spot, “The Pool After Dark” at Harrah’s Resort and the Foundation Room, which is a chic ultra lounge located inside the Showboat Casino Hotel.

According to Weiss, the Pool is different than any of the other venue in town because it has two identities. It’s a pool by day, and a nightclub by night.

I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing both aspects.

Daytime at the Pool — especially in the winter months — is a real treat because it’s housed under a 90-foot dome so there’s never a bad time to lay out and the temperature is always perfect.

Nighttime during club hours is especially cool because the place is packed, the music is bangin’ and there is usually a celebrity occupying one of the cabanas. Current hours for the nightclub are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10pm-4am.

One of Weiss’ responsibilities is to make people aware of some of the other 20 or so venues — such as Dusk at Caesars, for example — that fit into his lounge/bar portfolio in Atlantic City. For example, Bally’s (which, along with the Showboat, Harrah’s Resort and Caesars are owned by Caesars Entertainment) has many great places to hang out and have fun.

One in particular is Mainstage, which is located inside of Bally’s Wild Wild West.

There you can ride a mechanical bull, play beer pong and hear live music. Plus it’s surrounded by a gaming pit. In Atlantic City there aren’t too many places where you can ride a bull, let alone inside a casino.

The Foundation Room at Showboat, which is one of my favorite places, really lives up to its reputation. This ultra lounge houses some of the coolest interior decor in town and features DJ sets every Thursday and Saturday nights. Plus the biggest advantage of coming here is their outside deck that overlooks the beautiful Boardwalk and ocean.

Now you can even reserve a hookah at the Foundation Room! It is the only destination here in Atlantic City that offers hookah service (for tobacco).

Although it is open to the public, you can still become an exclusive member of the Foundation Room club, which includes special perks such as discounts on spa treatLike us:

ments, show tickets, golf outings, invitations to private events and more.

The possibilities for fun in Atlantic City are endless, but thanks to Weiss, we will start recognizing and finding many more exciting places to go. See you at the clubs!

Labor Day weekend is filled with fun things to do but one in particular is the Jennifer Haley Trunk Show that will be hosted by Knit Wit in Margate from Friday, Sept. 2-Monday, Sept. 5 with a chance to meet the designer on Saturday Sept., 3.

As a young girl Haley always had an obsession with the fashion world, loving accessories — especially, bags, shoes, jewelry and fur. She grew up in the Philadelphia area but spent her summers for the past 19 years in Longport at her family’s summer home.

Eventually Haley moved to South Florida with her family and opened her own high-end boutique, which she sold a few years later to pursue her passion of designing bags and work as a clothing buyer for a well-known boutique in Boca Raton where she meets and styles many celebrities.

“I am pleased to work very close to many celebrities as a stylist and they happen to like my designs so far. I am very lucky,” says Haley. Her designs can be seen on a few celebrities including, Rachel Zoe, Teresa Giudice and Jill Zarin.

Haley believes you are what you wear and people dress in different roles each day so that is where she came up with her bag names: Stroll, Schmooze, Schlep, Structure and The Ruthie, which is named after her best friend and grandmother Ruthie Seidman who recently lost her battle with ovarian cancer.

“I enjoy working with Susan G. Komen, Young Friends of Eli Weisel and just started the planning of my Web site launch with 100-percent proceeds going to ovarian cancer research,” says Haley. “It is the one charity I feel closest too.”

With her passion, drive, and giving nature, Haley will be continuously rising up in the fashion world. Make sure to come see her while she is in our area or visit her site at shopjenniferhaley.com. n

SEPTEMBER 1, 2011 • ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY

the Boardwalk on Delancy Place in Atlantic City called me to say something went right past his house, and while he couldn’t see anything, he said it sounded “like a freight train,” which is how people usually describe the sound of a twister.

As Skeldon tracked the funnel clouds moving inland on his phone, Rabic and Longport Media’s chief engineer, Mike Ferriola, were frantically trying to rewire the station to get us back in business.

Finally, they were able to get us on the air on KOOL 98-3, which meant relocating to the KOOL studio. Broadcasting in the dark and unable to take phone calls or rely on our computers for fresh information, Dan and I used our mobile Facebook apps to relay information.

Coskey, meanwhile, was using his phone to forward me updated information he received from emergency management. He got Longport Mayor Nick Russo on his cell phone, put the call on the phone’s tiny speaker and held it

up to a microphone, where Russo said some kind of “wind event” had occurred in his tiny borough.

With no idea when power would be restored to the station — and with a limited supply of gas for the generator — we pulled the plug on our storm coverage at midnight to conserve fuel until 6am, so we could go back on the air during the height of the storm.

But the electric company restored power to the station at 4:30am Sunday. Producer Nick Wargo scrambled to get us back on the air.

Coskey, who had left the station at about 11pm, raced back to the studio and slid behind a microphone with Skeldon to keep broadcasting pertinent information to our audience.

Gradually, things returned to (ab)normal and the threat subsided as the storm pulled away. But technical issues mounted, so Coskey decided to pull the plug on storm coverage and return to regular programming on the five stations at 1pm, but not before Irene and Longport Media had written new entries into the record books. n

The Social Storm G

By Geoff Rosenberger

OVERNOR CHRISTIE ORDERS mandatory evacuation of barrier islands.

It seemed wise to go.

March 2010, a construction crane next to my apartment complex broke lose and we were forced to evacuate in a door to door sweep.

Midtown Manhattan seemed safe haven. In the event electricity was lost, or damage was severe, they’d work hard to fix everything for millions of people more quickly than they would on a barrier island or in the suburbs for a handful of people.

All news all the time. That’s the new world order. Endless stations with endless reports.

Every tree downed became a story.

Those of us native to barrier islands are always at the beach when a storm is coming, and, depending on severity, during and after it passes.

It is the magnet that holds us together regardless of what the winds tear apart.

As I type, Irene has left Atlantic City intact, and is heading to NYC. Here, news reports are still showing signs of incoming floods. The local TV station my sister was watching just stopped transmitting, and power still might go out; but, for me, and all of us forced from Atlantic City, the storm has passed.

Thank you Facebook friends for pictures of the ocean, the town, the area, with constant updates I could not receive otherwise being here in New York.

You kept us all connected to our home, our roots, and God’s glory.

It felt as though we never left town. n

or so just to get all the paperwork done and set it up so we hadn’t made many plans for it.

“But Michael Feinstein, the singer, and who’s a great friend of ours, saw it and called us. He said he would do whatever he could to help us and suggested a benefit. And then he says he can bring his friend [singer] Linda Eder with him.

“So I’m like, ‘Great, now I have an event to plan!’ But really it was a great

And that really is just scratching the service. Other sponsorships by the foundation include the Absecon Lighthouse, Lucy the Elephant and the Noyes Museum of Stockton College in Oceanville.

In fact, if it’s involved with arts or history programs in South Jersey, chances are it has been supported by the Schultz-Hill Foundation.

Julie Budd: ‘Gershwin on the Boardwalk’ Where: Resorts Grand Ballroom, A.C. When: Sept. 24, 8:30pm How Much: $75, $175

So when singer Julie Budd performs at Resorts Casino Hotel on Saturday, Sept. 24, for a benefit concert, it’s hardly surprising to find the Schultz-Hill name stamped on the event.

In this case, it’s the Schultz-Hill Foundation, a group the partners formed to promote arts and history education throughout South Jersey.

And when Budd, an accomplished singer from the New York stage, presents An Evening of Gershwin on the Boardwalk, she’ll be carrying on a tradition that started in 2003, thanks mainly to singer Michael Feinstein.

No, we’re not mixing up our New York singers. But the foundation’s traditional fundraisers are connected to Feinstein who is a pivotal factor in its founding.

“We started [the foundation] because we were stupid,” laughs Hill in a telephone interview with Atlantic City Weekly. “But actually, when we sold our [nightclub] business in 2003 we got a big write up in the local media, and we announced we were forming this foundation. But it takes about a year Like us:

says Hill. “For example, the foundation gave a grant to Historic Cold Spring Village and they’ve used it to create a program on New Jersey history. They were able to bring this program to three area schools that have seen cuts to their history programs. Obviously, we want to give them a larger grant this year so it grows to more schools.”

That’s where Budd comes in.

Budd broke on the scene at the age of 12 and was then known as Little Julie

When Budd presents ‘An Evening of Gershwin on the Boardwalk,’ she’ll be carrying on a tradition that started in 2003.

The Schultz-Hill Foundation supports arts and history endeavors throughout the Atllantic City area with its Sept. 24 fundraiser featuring Julie Budd. By Michael Pritchard t’s a partnership that has become almost legendary in Atlantic City — John Schultz and Gary Hill.

Schultz, a former city councilman, and Hill have together put their stamp on everything from the city’s nightlife to civic organizations such as the Metropolitan Business & Citizens Association and dozens of charities around the area. In fact, it’s really not that easy to find a charity or civic board one of the two doesn’t sit on.

Budd, making numerous appearances on Merv Griffin’s talk show. She was immediately noted for her similarities to Barbra Streisand and parlayed child stardom into a long career that has included numerous gigs in Atlantic City through the years. Nowadays, she performs with symphonies around the country and tours with Marvin Hamlisch.

“We knew her from back in the club days and it’s thrilling to have her,” says Hill. “She’s an amazing singer, very Streisand-esque. And she is really perfect for Gershwin. She’s played Atlantic City so many times and is just a great singer.”

So Budd continues what Michael

start for us and it started a series of events,” says Hill. “We usually have one a year, give or take, and they have allowed us to do some wonderful things.”

Among the programs run by the non-profit foundation is support of scholarships for arts students, sponsorship of the Bay-Atlantic Symphony, grants for education programs at Cape May’s Historic Cold Spring Village, support of groups such as the Ocean City Theater Co. and sponsoring field trips for Atlantic City students to sites such

Feinstein started, and the arts and histo the community,” Hill says. “That’s important to us. We’ve had success here and we want to be part of growing the community. And it’s not just Atlantic City. The foundation helps throughout South Jersey. We have a great board of directors and we promote the arts wherever possible.”

While the arts are well represented among the foundation’s scholarships and grants, there is also a strong emphasis on history.

“With the historical programs, we are able to center on education programs,”

torical organizations of southern New Jersey will benefit.

“Obviously, the purpose of a foundation is to carry on this work after you’re gone,” says Hill. “But for the moment, we’re still alive and it gives us

OCEAN CITY WEEKLY®

The Last Plop of Summer Ocean City says goodbye to summer with another ‘Whacky, but not tacky’ celebration — the King and Queen of Plop contest. By Michael Pritchard A s T h E C I T Y A N d T h E r E g I o N queen titles. slip into that last carefree bastion of summer fun, namely the Labor day weekend, there’s an anxious feeling that takes hold — A feeling that somebody somewhere should mark the passing of summer 2011 with an act of complete silliness and frivolity.

It’s all going to get so serious soon enough.

We need people willing to make complete fools of themselves in the name of fun.

Thankfully, ocean City always has another goofball event up its sleeve. so on Friday, sept. 2, you can honor the passing of yet another season — hurricane shortened by one weekend — with the city’s King and Queen of plop contest.

What? To plop, as in to fall dramatically, and hopefully with some comic flair, into the sand. otherwise known as the Fall guy and girl contest, it gives contestants their opportunity to fall theatrically, and hopefully in slow motion, all to grab the coveted king and

Another of the city’s “Whacky, but not tacky events”, it also includes performances by the city’s usual “whacky” suspects including suzanne muldowney, also know as Underdog, the ocean City Wind Chimes band (What?

They play wind chimes), soprano Nancy Fox, pirates from Air Circus and a special “plop” performance by gymnast Julia Albertson.

Entry is free and prizes will be awarded. All participants receive a plopping Certificate. The contest starts at 9am on the 9th st. beach.

Thanks to hurricane Irene, you can also still catch the ocean City Theater Company’s junior production of Godspell we highlighted last week. The performance has been moved to Friday sept. 2 and the ocean City Tabernacle. Unfortunately, Irene left room for only one performance of the play at 7pm. All tickets for previously scheduled performances will be honored.

And while Labor day may mark the end of much of the season’s events, The ocean City

FOOD & DRINK

South Jersey for Steak

By Frank Gabriel are

a

few

local

restaurants that have become so well established that they virtually define their particular genre of dining. egg harbor Township’s library III, the area’s original steak house, certainly fits into that exclusive category. for as long as we can remember, the Black horse Pike business — once one of four library franchises in southern New Jersey — has been the first resource for Jersey shore residents when the word “steak” is mentioned. and with good reason. offering a combination of high-quality food, personalized service and real value, the library III continues to excel, as evidenced by a recent, post-Irene visit. an original concept eatery, the library’s interiors are, appropriately enough, lined by volumes of books.

In another unique twist, customers actually place their orders directly with kitchen staff here. after briefly traversing the building’s serpentine corridors, one reaches a pair of windows open to that food preparation area.

It’s a glorious sight, big, manly hunks of meat sizzling on the grill, only a few feet away.

Made even better by the fact that the chef and his cooks will custom butcher cuts of beef to patron’s specifications, even going to far as to visually showing them just how big a certain portion will appear prior to hitting the grill. we began our meal with a trio of appetizers. first up were stuffed mushrooms, rather a ubiquitous item that has come to lose some of its luster as a result of being so commonplace on area menus.

Not here. each order — we enjoyed the first so much we actually requested another — brought four silver dollar-sized baby portobella caps.

These had been stuffed to almost overflowing with a well-seasoned blend of crabmeat. we particularly liked the inclusion of both claw and lump varieties here, something not enough restaurants consider.

The darker claw meat paired particularly well with the earthy quality of the funghi, its

The Library III

Not your typical meat and potatoes meal here stronger essence also providing a complimentary textural counterpoint.

Next up was shrimp cocktail, four large shellfish, firm and cold. Plated simply alongside a thick, hearty cocktail sauce, the shrimp were juicy and fresh. at their base, they became easily removable from shells, a clear and certain indication of proper preparation technique. finally, an order of buffalo tenders proved among the finest you’ll see anywhere. These were clearly a made-in-house product, cut from clean, whole breast pieces and not frozen.

The strips of poultry — three inches long by two wide — remained moist within despite their visit to deep fryer-land. They reminded us just how good this lean meat used to be. having grown up in Vineland — local epicenter of the poultry industry — we consider chicken to be as crucial a regional staple as anything else we can think of.

But today’s mass-produced versions, dry and flavorless, do no justice to this noble bird.

The library, however, showcases the pure white meat in a most favorable manner.

No trip here is complete without a visit to their famous salad bar.

In fact, we saw several diners seated near us in the lounge area enjoying that pleasant mix of vegetables as their evening repast on this very night.

It’s ideal steak house fare too, nicely alerting your palate for savory delights lying ahead. having survived the ordeal that was Irene, we were feeling mighty celebratory. as a result, our entree choice was filet mignon, vended here by the ounce. we requested a 14-oz. cut, medium-rare.

It arrived at a towering height of nearly four inches. adorning were exactingly executed cross marks, the hallmark and pride of any skilled grill cook’s repertoire.

The beef within, slightly cool and respectfully rested prior to service, exceeded all of our expectations. It possessed a fragrant, almost floral quality, deeply pink in color. we don’t order filet often, typically preferring bone-in products. But this fine beef showcased why filet has come to be considered the

royalty of the steak world.

Making this even more enjoyable was its extremely reasonable price point: just over $30, a real bargain in an overheated market for prime beef.

My dining partner went in a local seafood direction for her main course.

Stuffed flounder was presented in a casserole dish, the fillet of fish wound about a steamy mixture of crabmeat.

Portioned generously, she dug into the blend of seafood and could only finish slightly more than half. we found the flounder, at the height of its current season, to have been handled with great care. This allowed a rather delicate fish to remain intact, with its special flavor profile not overwhelmed by either seasoning or oven time.

It was accompanied by wild rice topped by sauteed mushrooms, both elements becoming fine supporting players.

Both sides we sampled, steak fries and steamed broccoli, were presented in quantities big enough to share. The potatoes, like those tenders, demonstrated that frying is indeed an elevated cooking method. crisp and golden, the wide wedges were puffy inside.

If there is any better pairing in the culinary world than steak and fries, we need to be informed about it.

Desserts, limited on this evening due to the fact that the library did not close during our recent brush with Irene, were still superior. a blueberry cream cheese pie proved much lighter than any cheese cake cousins we’ve ever sampled. It ate more like the deep-south specialty, cream pie, with the addition of a tart/sweet scoop of rendered blueberries.

Surprisingly light, this proved to be just the right sweet after my filet.

Speaking briefly with our server after dessert, she informed us that management here has recently taken over the food operation at e.h.T’s nearby Mccullough’s emerald links Golf course (formerly Mangia by the Greens.) which doesn’t surprise us at all, considering the universal respect that the library brand has earned around these parts. n

Calm after the Storm

Following a lost weekend due to Irene, the Atlantic City casinos and Jersey shore region look forward to a big Labor Day holiday. By Jeff Schwachter

Y

ou could say that Hurricane Irene created a sort of perfect storm for the Jersey shore’s tourism business over the upcoming Labor day holiday weekend.

With a summer season that has been less than extraordinary for Atlantic City casino revenues, and just OK in terms of weather and business up and down the coast, gaming officials say that the combined loss of revenue for the city’s 11 casinos due to the state-ordered evacuation of Atlantic City and the subsequent closure of the casinos over this past weekend due to the storm is an estimated $40-50 million.

Add the loss of business revenue for the Boardwalk shops up and down the Jersey

the storm, other businesses selling plywood, water, batteries, candles and other preparation-kit tools, experienced brisk business on Friday and Saturday until they closed as Irene got closer to the Garden State.

One report stated that a Best Buy store in the Asbury Park area was selling cases of bottled water for $40 per 24 pack.

Certainly not an example of the kind of camaraderie that was the norm over the “lost weekend” in the Atlantic City/Ocean City areas.

What made the weekend so wacko — aside from the crazy path that Irene took as she barreled up towards the Northeast — was that, like the earthquake that was Photo by Tom Briglia

s e p t e m b e r 1 , 2 0 1 1 • A T L A N T I C C I T Y W EE K L Y

Waves crash up against the Steel Pier from Irene shore that were forced to close in preparation of the storm, and the billions of dollars in damage that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie estimates the storm caused the state over the “lost weekend” — which, ironically ended on Monday, on the sixthyear anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina tragedy in Louisiana and Mississippi — and although weather-wise Irene didn’t do much physical damage to Cape May, Sea Isle City, Atlantic City and other shore towns along the southern New Jersey coastline, the region was hit pretty hard by the storm and shutdown.

Of course, some businesses made out like bandits over the weekend during which most Americans on the East Coast — those who didn’t lose power that is — were glued to local weather coverage or the Weather Channel on their TV sets.

While at least one gas station in the area reportedly hiked the price of gas as lines of cars waited to fill up on the Friday before Like us: 50

See p galleri hoto es f Irene w rom the e on the ekend W ACWee eb at kly.com

facebook.com/ACWeekly

felt in the Atlantic City region earlier in the week, a hurricane with the strength and size that Irene had initially — before it started to fizzle out late Saturday night and into early Sunday morning — hadn’t been experienced in the region for decades.

Christie, saying he didn’t want to risk lives, called for a mandatory evacuation of Cape May County and parts of Atlantic County.

Although the pending storm and the evacuation order drove out countless visitors and residents in the area, some stayed put, including 600 senior citizens at an Atlantic City high-rise complex whom Christie eventually addressed directly during one of his many TV appearances and YouTube videos over the weekend, essentially begging them to leave.

With the rising death count from Irene still being determined — as of Wednesday Irene had been blamed for at least 43 deaths in the continental U.S.

and five deaths in the Caribbean, according to reports — and with most deaths occurring out of state, Christie certainly must feel right with himself that he made the correct call in evacuating the barrier islands and the vulnerable areas in the southern parts of the Garden State.

Although more than 300,000 New Jersey power customers still had no electricity as of Tuesday — when more deaths in the state were reported — and as flooding still plagued many parts of New Jersey, the southern shore area fared pretty well during the Irene event.

After the storm, crews quickly went to work tending to downed trees, closed roads, and affected power, telephone and cable lines in the area. And while evacuees return to the beaches and boardwalks along the Jersey shore, tourism officials hope that the good weather forecast, combined with the many vacations cut short due to Irene, will equal a successful Labor Day weekend.

Some businesses, however, will hurt for a long time due to Irene and the “lost weekend.”

Musicians, for instance, hundreds of whom were booked up and down the Jersey shore last weekend, will never see payment for the gigs that got canceled over the typically busy summer weekend.

Area restaurants and shops that rely on tourist dollars during the summer may have lost up to a total of four or five days of much-needed business.

In Somers Point, for example, the owner of the Clam Bar on Bay Avenue was forced to get rid of all of the restaurant’s fresh seafood on the Friday before the storm and board up the waterfront eatery before getting out of dodge.

“Hopefully, we’ll be open on Tuesday, and everything will be fine,” said Patrice Popovic, owner of the Jersey shore seafood mainstay.

Popovic said that because the restaurant had to get rid of all its seafood and ingredients, that the place would have to “start from scratch” on Monday and prepare for a Tuesday opening.

Still, that’s four days of big-time summer business out the window.

“We’ve never closed in more than 30 years,” added Popovic as she was pulling out of the Clam Bar parking lot, her establishment in the midst of being boarded up. “But it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

That seems to be the mode of thought

for many local business owners, as well as residents and tourists who were forced from the area as a precautionary measure.

Dennis Gomes, co-owner and CEO of Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, also started early to get his property ready for the storm and evacuated.

He tells Atlantic City Weekly that there were no reported injuries to anybody on the Resorts team over the weekend.

“Everybody [at Resorts] is good,” says Gomes during a Monday afternoon phone call. “There were no problems [with injuries to anyone]. And we had no damage.

We got all of the employees out Thursday night except for a few emergency personnel and security and a few building maintenance people. Everyone else was gone and we got all of our customers out. We started getting them out Thursday night and by Friday at noon they were all gone.”

Gomes says that Resorts took a proactive approach with regard to the Irene threat early on because he trusts the authorities and figured it was better to evacuate early so the re-opening could happen as early as possible.

“Some of the people were kind of wondering what to do. Coming from a kind of law-enforcement background — I spent 10 years doing law enforcement chasing mob guys — and so I listen to the police.

There are people in the [police department] that I have good relationships with and when they’re telling me about all of the issues [on Thursday] I decided that I didn’t want to play around with people’s lives — employes or customers. I mean the revenue loss killed me, especially because we are so vulnerable as we’re trying to claw our way back after almost closing down before we bought it, but when it comes to material things versus people’s lives there is no comparison. It wasn’t even an issue.

We just decided to move forward and get it done quickly and in a very systematic way.

That’s just how we are I guess!

“After we got everybody out we did a sweep through the entire property, through every room, making sure that — because these places are like big cities — there were no customers sleeping in rooms.”

There were a few guests still sleeping in their rooms, oblivious to the impending storm, but Gomes says, “We woke them up and told them the issues. We tried to do that all on Thursday for the most part.”

The Trump Plaza Beach Bar Monday morning.

Like us:

aside from re-organizing shows, canceling and rescheduling dozens of concerts and events slated for the weekend, and having employees such as bartenders, dealers and hotel staff losing the tip money that they depend on to survive, had to think quick.

Not only before the storm, but after Irene had made its mark on the shore area.

While most casinos released statements that they would be re-opening on Monday at noon, updates that Atlantic City Weekly provided on its Web site acweekly.com all weekend, many of the marketing teams at the city’s gaming properties had to come up with special post-Irene promotions to lure back customers.

Even certain shore towns, such as Ocean City and the Wildwoods, released statements that they too were “open for business.”

Although the Atlantic City beach bars were pummeled by the storm, officials at all three casinos that have beach bars say they will be re-opened in time for Labor Day weekend if not sooner. A spokesperson for Bally’s says its Sammy’s Beach Bar will be open this week and will remain open for weekends beyond Labor Day as well. The Hilton Beach Bar will close after the holiday weekend.

So, as the flood waters subside, and area businesses take down any remaining plywood from their properties, the show goes on in Atlantic City. Although many shows in the region were canceled outright due to Irene last weekend, some have been rescheduled and many will take place — inside and out — this Labor day weekend.

What the Jersey shore needs now is a beautiful September and October, which most locals know are the best months to be down the shore. n For casino promotions, such as the Caesars Entertainment “Good Night Irene” specials and similar deals at other properties, as well as articles related to Irene coverage and photo galleries from before and after the storm, including reader-submitted photos, go to acweekly.com.

making sure the place was ready for the storm before he fled to Galloway with his family. His Margate home, he says, was all boarded up for the storm.

So what’s a big casino like when it’s empty? Remember, this is only the third time in the history of Resorts when the property was closed to the public.

“When I came in late on Friday, the casino was just the most eerie [place] you can imagine. It all felt like ... a ghost town or something. It’s hard to describe. None of the machines light up and there’s not a person in the place, it’s just a very strange, eerie feeling. Did you ever see one of those science-fiction movies where there’s not one person left in a city? This felt just like that.” Gomes says the Resorts team members were in constant contact all weekend, making sure everybody was OK, giving updates, and preparing for an eventual re-opening.

“I was told we were the first [Boardwalk] casino to open. We opened at 9:30 on Monday morning, and spent [Sunday] night working to make sure the slot machines were running and the systems were intact. And we made sure our employees were being called so we were ready early [Monday to re-open]. We had buses coming in very early in the morning, at like 9:30-10am, so we were ready for them.

“I think the city and state were absolutely phenomenal. Between the city emergency management people and the state emergency people as well as the governor, state police and also the city police — they were all phenomenal. We had a lot of state and city police staying in the hotel [over the weekend] and of course we fed them because we were glad to have them. I was told that there was one casino that wanted to charge the police to stay at their hotel so we said, ‘C’mon over here and we’ll put you up for free.’ We had a lot of police officers running around the place.”

Gomes was building a casino in Indiana the last time the Atlantic City casinos shut down due to the state government shutdown in the summer of 2006. He

Laugh Your Ass Off All Weekend The inaugural Atlantic City Comedy Festival killed it last summer with several of the best comedians in the country, and the two-day event is back at Boardwalk Hall Sept. 3-4.

There’s all kinds of different people in the audience [particularly in a resort or casino environment], and the trick is to find common ground.” n

The Rest of the Field

The younger brother of entertainer Chris Rock, Tony Rock stepped into his own limelight when he became a regular at such famed New York City clubs as the Comic Strip, Caroline’s and Stand-Up New York. He’s a regular on comedy TV specials and was featured in Will Smith’s 2005 movie Hitch, also taking roles in such films as Three Can Play That Game alongside Vivica A. Fox, and Life Support with Queen Latifah. He produced and hosted his own projects such as The Funny Spot and The Tony Rock Project, and had his own Comedy Central Presents special in 2010.

Mike Epps‘ appearance in A.C. serves as a break of sorts from his own national comedy tour — Mike Epps: On the Edge — which is selling out major concert venues across the country. HBO has plans to develop a half-hour comedy series called The Unsuccessful Thug based on Epps’ experiences growing up in inner-city Indianapolis and occasionally running afoul of the law. “I wasn’t cut out to be mean, but I was in a mean world and participating in mean things to survive,” Epps is quoted as saying at accomedyfestival.com. Epps got into stand-up comedy on a dare and it helped straighten out his life. He’s also scheduled to portray Richard Pryor in an upcoming biopic of the comic legend’s life.

Sheryl Underwood is co-host of BET’s Oh Drama! show and does her own segment, “Sheryl Speaks,” on BET’s ComicView. She has also produced her own morning drive-time radio show in Dallas called Sheryl Underwood & The Morning Misfits. Underwood also does bits on the Tom Joyner Morning Show and on Jaime Foxx’s The FoxxHole. She’s been a professional comedienne for over 20 years.

As a former flight attendance, Arnez J realized he had the ability to crack up passengers and crew with dead-on impressions. He made his first attempt at stand-up comedy on the prompt-

Second Annual Atlantic City Comedy Festival

At Boardwalk Hall Schedule — Saturday, Sept. 3, starting 8pm, Sommore, Bruce Bruce, Arnez J, Tony Rock and Damon Williams. Sunday, Sept. 4, starting 8pm, Mike Epps, Sheryl Underwood, Michael Colyar, Gary Owen and TuRae. Tickets — $46, $61 and $87 per night. accomedyfestival.com

ing of friends and, after his first night on stage, left his job with the airlines for a full-time career in comedy. Once an aspiring professional baseball player, the Harlem Globetrotters took notice of Arnez’s physical comedy routine and recruited him onto the team, but he returned to doing stand-up following a minor knee injury, working the circuit in his hometown of Atlanta.

Gary Owen’s performed in all of the major rooms across the country, and plays the role of Zach the barber on Tyler Perry’s House of Payne.

A 10-year comic veteran, he is also a regular on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, where he met Perry. The Cincinnati native first worked up the nerve to perform live during an open-mike night while hanging out with his Navy buddies, and after only a year of regular performances was deemed “Funniest Serviceman in America.”

Not only is Owen the only white man to have ever hosted ComicView, he is the only white on-air personality the network has ever had and continues to have a huge African-American fan base, once winning the title of “Funniest Black Comedian in San Diego.”

Michael Colyar is a cerebral comic who, for nine years, used to perform five one-hour shows on the Boardwalk of Venice Beach, Calif. He was co-host of BET’s Live From LA and in 1990 won the $100,000 grand prize as the comedy champion of the nationally televised Star Search, donating $50,000 of his winnings to homeless charities in the Los Angeles area.

A Chicago native, Damon Williams has done a one-hour comedy special annually on ComicView since 1994. He’s hosted several episodes of Showtime at the Apollo, headlined on Jamie Foxx’s Laffapalooza, and was the opener for the highly successful Kings of Comedy Tour.

Most recently Williams was featured on Martin Lawrence Presents First Amendment Stand-up on Starz, and is currently a regular on the Tom Joyner Morning Show with a segment called the “Seriously Ignant News.”

TuRae (pronounced too-ray) started his comedy career in the late 1990s not far from Atlantic City — at Temple University in Philadelphia — when he was invited to participate in a cash-prize open-mike by friends. After winning the contest, TuRae declared himself “allergic to a job” and pursued professional stages beyond the Philly campus. He landed a steady gig at a local club called the Laff House, and was able to convert his urban-life experiences as a “neighborhood geek and failed basketball star” into a successful comedy career. TuRae’s shared stages with such established comic talent as Cedric the Entertainer and Dom Irerra, and has performed alongside music legends such as Gil Scott-Heron, Patti Labelle, Teena Marie and Alicia Keys.

spite of it all they come out and give you the support, and I love that.

“I should have been doing comedy all my life because I have been a clown all my life — class clown, neighborhood clown, church clown,” adds Bruce. “I was working for FritoLay potato chips and somebody told me ‘I watch comedians all the time. You need to go on TV,’ and when I did I knew it was what I should have been doing all my life. If I didn’t do it — I’d probably be still selling potato chips.”

And if he had gone that route, it is unlikely he’d have earned enough to own a fleet of classic muscle cars.

“I collect old Buick muscle cars like Wildcats, Rivieras, old Skylark GSs — I’m a Buick fan since I was a little boy,” he says. “My granddaddy used to tell me ‘When you get a car, be sure to get you a Buick now.’ That stuck with me. And you do it, because you trust them.”

Sommore started in comedy after graduating Morris Brown College in Bruce Bruce Atlanta with a business degree, and finding that the conventional corporate world was not for her. She says that while there’s a lot of camaraderie among comedians who often share the same stage, there’s also a little bit of silent competition going on too. And the butterflies you get before taking the stage never completely go away.

“Oh my, I’m nervous right now thinking about Saturday,” she says. “I think when you lose being nervous you lose a great part of the process. There’s an adrenaline feeling going on every time, but the weird thing is that a joke can work really well one week and not the next. A lot of things come into play.

It can be that the comic ahead of you said something similar, it could be the people in that region don’t really get what you’re referring to — several things. It’s like a game of Russian roulette.

“I think the thing about comedians is that you have to be a little bit knowledgeable about a lot of different things,” she adds. “I watch everything that’s going on and try to keep abreast of things. I ask guys about sports and try to keep up, I find little things that interest me and throw them into the act.

stand-up comics work on keeping their routines new and fresh, but there’s generally a cache of material that stays in the act consistently because they know it will crack up audiences every time. It’s called going with what works and can be crosscut to other art forms besides stand-up.

The concept might also be related to the Atlantic City Comedy Festival, as the idea was spawned from proven winners like Spike Lee’s hit film The Original Kings of Comedy, Russell Simmons’ HBO series Def Comedy Jam, and the BET show ComicView — all of which went far in helping to bolster the careers of top African-American stand-up comedians.

The initial A.C. festival was similarly a hit, and returns for two nights, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 3-4, at Boardwalk Hall. Five different African-American comics are scheduled to appear each night (to be more accurate, Gary Owen, one of Sunday’s acts, is white, but is nonetheless a past title holder of “Funniest Black Comedian in San Diego” and has a huge African-American fan base).

“Last year was great, and from what I’m hearing the numbers we’re doing now are even better this year,” says Sommore, a New Jersey native who will open the festival Saturday (8pm) followed by Bruce Bruce, Arnez J, Tony Rock and Damon Williams. “I’ve played a few [solo] shows in Atlantic City at places like the Borgata and House of Blues, but being part of the comedy festival is special. I mean, it’s like a family reunion. And the great thing about it is you have people coming from all over to watch the art of stand-up and enjoy the show.

It’s a beautiful thing. You don’t have to twist my arm to come to Atlantic City, trust me.

I’ve been going there since I was a little kid.”

Born in Trenton and now living in Miami, Sommore is a former winner of BET’s Richard Pryor Award for Comic of the Year.

“The clubs are where you hone your craft, work on new material and try out different things on the audience — things like that,” says Sommore. “They’re where you work toward getting to the big stage, like what we’re doing in Atlantic City.”

Bruce Bruce discovered his skill for cracking wise initially as a chef out of high school in his home town of Atlanta, and later as a potato chip salesman for Frito-Lay. Like Sommore, Owen, Mike Epps and TuRae, Bruce Bruce was a feature performer at the inaugural A.C. Comedy Fest.

“I’m from the south, and when it rains here or gets cold here nobody goes anywhere,” says Bruce. “But if you go up north it doesn’t matter — people like to go out and have a good time no matter what it’s doing outside, and Atlantic City is one of the greatest places as far as that goes. The support you get there is unreal. People come out to have fun there. In

NCE AGAIN, GREETINGS AND salutations. As I’ve always said, the only one that could interrupt the Geator would be a lady. And unfortunately, Irene did it. First time in 40 years that Memories had to close — not only Memories, but this lady took out the entire Jersey shore. So remember, it’s not nice to mess with the lady called Mother Nature. But we’ll make it up to you this weekend. It’s the big Labor Day celebration and, as you know, the official closing of the summer season for most. And we’re going to go nonstop Friday and Saturday, then I’ll see you Sunday at La Costa. Now, let’s ask the Geator.

O, WHICH MOVIE WILL EMERGE from the Toronto International Film Festival this year as an Oscar frontrunner? Last year it was The King’s Speech, and previous seasons have launched Slumdog Millionaire, Precious, and American Beauty to Oscar glory. It is a tradition that goes all the way back to Toronto favorites Chariots of Fire and The Big Chill from the festival’s early years.

It is always fun when the Toronto International Film Festival turns into the George and Brad show. Professional film critics cover TIFF primarily for the movies, but if you think we are snobbishly above stargazing, think again. This will be my 24th trip to the festival and I’m still not cynical about enjoying movies and the stars that make them.

George Clooney will be across the border to promote the film he directs and stars in with Ryan Gosling, The Ides of March, a political drama about a presidential primary.

The film co-stars Paul Giamatti and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Clooney will also be supporting a second festival flick, Alexander Payne’s film The Descendants. Payne is best known for Election and Sideways.

Brad Pitt will be in Toronto to help

sell Moneyball, directed by Bennett Miller, based on the book about Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, who changed the way baseball players are evaluated when he couldn’t afford stars.

The opening night TIFF offering is From the Sky Down, a documentary about the band U2 directed by Academy-Award-winning director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting For Superman). It is the first time in the history of the festival that the opening night film is a documentary.

Other films announced include A Dangerous Method, from Canada’s national treasure, David Cronenberg. It is a tale about the lives of Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud and the woman that comes between them, Sabina Spielrein. The film stars Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen and Keira Knightly.

Aussie veteran Bruce Beresford, one of the best directors to emerge from Australia’s “New Wave” of the 1970s and ’80s with Don’s Party and Breaker Morant, brings his latest, Peace, Love and Misunderstanding, to Toronto. Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener and Chase Crawford star in this comedy drama about an uptight New York lawyer who takes her two teenagers to her hippie

At the TIFF: ‘In Darkness’ mother’s farmhouse for a family vacation.

Another Aussie from the New Wave era, Fred Schepisi (The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith, Roxanne, Iceman) arrives with Eye of the Storm, a family drama starring Charlotte Rampling, Geoffrey Rush and Judy Davis.

Inspired by personal experience, 50/50, from director Jonathan Levine, is a dramedy about what happens when two best buds have to deal with cancer. Joseph GordonLevitt is the one with the “50/50” chance of survival, and Seth Rogen is the guy trying to keep things upbeat.

Gerald Butler stars in Machine Gun Preacher, based on a true story, about a former drugdealing criminal who finds a new calling as the savior of hundreds of kidnapped and orphan children. The film is directed by Marc Forster (Monster’s Ball).

Agnieszka Holland (Europa, Europa) directs In Darkness, about the true story of Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Nazi-occupied Poland who finds a group of Jews hiding in the sewers and agrees to hide them for a price.

In Violet & Daisy, Saoirse Ronan (Hannah, Atonement, The Lovely Bones) stars with Alexis Bledel (The Gilmore Girls, Sin City) as two young assassins in New York City. Written

and directed by Oscar-winning screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher (Precious), the film also stars James Gandolfini.

Big stars and more commercial fare have dominated the festival in the last decade, in part because the once thriving independent film industry in the United States and the distribution of foreign language films here has been taken over by Netflix and other DVD and streaming outlets. That is why I love the opportunity that Toronto affords to discover small-scale gems from around the globe, and USA-made independent films that are otherwise overlooked at the multi-plex where they must compete with Hollywood movies.

Last year I saw 26 films in nine days; I think I can do a bit better this year. The Toronto Film Festival is a public festival.

You don’t have to be an industry pro to go.
