“A paper clip sculpting contest will be held during the day, plus a yo-yo demonstration and Bubble display.” — p 36 “What’s interesting, too, is how many similarities there are between then and now. There’s such a parallel to the drug business where you have young men becoming drug dealers. Back then they were bootleggers, which is essentially the same thing.”

ALBUM WEEK

Jazz Vespers Salute Chris Columbo

For one day — Sunday, Sept. 18 — the Asbury United Methodist Church in Atlantic City, home of the South Jersey Jazz Vespers, will be transformed into the bygone Club Harlem as a tribute to a name nearly as legendary as the club itself. Chris Columbo (1902-2002) was a jazz drummer who led the Club Harlem orchestra for 34 years, right up until the club closed its Kentucky Avenue doors forever in 1978. He continued to perform at other A.C. clubs, including in nearly every casino, into his 90s and was the oldest working musician in Atlantic City history. His goddaughter, jazz vocalist Angela Burton will sing with Hassan Abdullah (both pictured) and his quintet featuring drummer Tom Angello, who played at Club Harlem, at Asbury Methodist (1213 Pacific Ave., Atlantic City) on what would have been Columbo’s 109th birthday, beginning 4pm sunday. “It’s important to give older citizens who knew and loved my godfather a lovely time to reminisce,” says Burton. “But it’s even more important to teach young men and women abut their proud local heritage, and Chris Columbo is an integral part of that musical history. We must never let go of his legacy.” Columbo’s career started in 1921 with Fletcher Henderson, a highly influential pianist and composer in the development of big-band jazz and swing music.

He went on to play and record with such luminaries as Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Wild Bill Davis and Ella Fitzgerald. His son was the Count Basie Orchestra drummer, sonny payne. In 2005 a section of Kentucky Avenue, home of Club Harlem, was renamed Chris Columbo Lane.

Exploring the Wetlands

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, sometimes it can be easy to forget just how beautiful and diverse the southern New Jersey wetlands really are. Reminding us of that has always been one of the goals of the Wetlands Institute in stone Harbor. And that’s the focus of the institute’s annual Wings n’ Water Festival Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 17-18. Dubbed a “Celebration of the Coast,” the festival is a massive exploration of the area’s wetlands complete with walking tours, bird watching, kayaking and “safaris” to check out the local wildlife. Of course it’s a festival as well, including live entertainment, children’s programs, a chowder-cooking contest and displays by artists, carvers and quilters. It’s a pretty packed schedule for the festival which starts off Friday, Sept. 16 with an opening reception and benefit auction at the institute (1075 Stone Harbor Blvd.).

On Saturday and Sunday, the festival is dominated by activities and displays around Stone Harbor. (Visit wetlandsinstitute.org for full schedule). The center of the festival, however, is the institute itself where attendees can see turtle releases, hear live music and find children’s events. But really, those attending the festival will be crawling through the bays and marshes or on numerous cruises and, of course, safaris. Tickets, which are good for both days, are $12 for adults and $5 for children aged 2 to 12.

Vol. 1 - Music from the HBO Original Series (Elektra) As HBO’s Boardwalk Empire examines, American life during the early 1920s wasn’t that dissimilar to modern times. War, Wall Street, taxes, political corruption, immigration, and gang violence was on many people’s minds and the music of the time captures this essence of the dawning of the modern age. Timed to coincide with the season two premiere of the HBO drama series, Elektra Records has just released a collection of music from the first and second seasons of the show. Not only featuring the memorable performances by Stephen DeRosa (portraying Eddie Cantor) and Kathy Brier (as Sophie Tucker) from the show, the album — also available in a digital “deluxe” version with four extra songs — also includes modern artists such as Regina Spektor, Loudon Wainwright III, Leon Redbone, and others re-making songs from the era. New York City band Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks — the house band at Babette’s Nightclub on the show — are also featured on a handful of toe-tappin’ tunes. — Jeff Schwachter

merica’s most popular summer adult beverage seems to have developed a more polished reputation in recent years, probably due to the renaissance of so many craft beers and brewpubs. today’s variety is astounding, with seasonal and specialty beers coming on the market that can be paired with gourmet foods and enjoyed the same way aficionados enjoy fine wines. those seeking to expand their beer horizons, or hone a Frasier crane-esque beer palate, should check out this weekend’s inaugural Golden Nugget craft Beer Festival sept. 17-18. the festival is in two parts, the first being indoors at Golden Nugget’s Grand Ballroom on saturday (7-10pm) and featuring gourmet appetizers and craft beers for a fixed $49-perperson fee. the second is an expanded version of the late-summer oktoberfest-style affair that’s taken place on the deck the last couple of years, which will be on sunday from noon-6pm and feature an a-la-carte menu of food and beers. “We’ll have over 40 breweries from around the united states — from maine to Florida to texas, california, Washington, and of course the great states of New Jersey and pennsylvania will be represented,� says scott tarwater, corporate director of wine and special events for landry’s restaurants (parent company of Golden Nugget). “We’ll have over 200 craft beers and they’ll be accompanied by live entertainment. our chef has put together a wonderful menu — very high-end, very upscale beer friendly food but gourmet in style, not your typical fare like hot dogs and hamburgers. “the second day’s going to be more of an international oktoberfest style with sexy beer maidens out here serving up over 240 beers from around the world,� says tarwater. “there will be traditional [oktoberfest] fare like bratwurst and German kielbasa along with the great american foods we all know and love.

HE BORGATA OPEN HAS AMAZED again as its opening event, a $400 + $50 No Limit Tournament, set a new record for the event by attracting 1,718 players.

Of course that includes some re-entries, but then so do all tournament counts. The fact is that’s an astounding number for the tournament. By contrast, last year’s opening event, with the same buy-in, attracted only 964 players.

The 2010 championship event attracted 1,042, also a record for the championship, and we may see that fall as well.

The winner was Vincent Maglio, of Revere, Mass., who has some Vegas and Foxwoods cashes on his record, but seems to have his first Atlantic City cash (in major tournament action anyway) and his highest payday ever at $140,582.

The tournament had a guaranteed $300,000 prize pool, but with the massive turnout more than doubled that with a total buy-in of more than $687K. Second went to Joe Wertz, of Montoursville, Pa., who’s been a regular at Borgata and A.C. events since 2008. He wins $87,989.

The following events at the open have also been putting up decent numbers, but obviously not drawing at a 1,700-player clip.

That’s usually because with secondary and satellite events, players have two or three choices each day. And then, of course, the Borgata always has cash games going, usually including high-stakes games.

But there may have been another factor in the cash games that had the Borgata benefiting from a bit of a double dip on tournament and cash action.

While all eyes have been on the Tropicana’s bad-beat jackpot, which was at about $510,000 as of this writing, the Borgata’s bad-beat jackpot had climbed up to $465,000. That’s a new record for the casino’s jackpot. The previous record was $332,000 in June 2010.

There’s no question the jackpot had an effect on opening weekend play as the jackpot picked up $26K over the three days counting Friday. That’s a pretty torrid pace for a bad beat jackpot, and indicates the Borgata’s cash games were going strong.

And clearly the jackpot enticed players to keep their cash play at the casino, rather than hopping a jitney to the Trop.

But alas, the Borgata lost this edge when its bad-beat jackpot hit Monday evening for $465,120.

That’s right. In the middle of its most popular and well-attended tournament event, the casino saw its biggest bad-beat cash jackpot hit.

That’s a charmed existence.

The winner of the bad beat was Ohad Baver of Kiriat, Israel, who saw quad queens fall to quad aces. He wins $186,048, about $40K more than Maglio won in the opening events.

The hand winner was Craig Santoro, of Annandale, N.J., who wins $93,024. Eight other players won $23,256, which is better than some of the open’s smaller events.

Obviously, the Borgata would have liked to see the jackpot continue to grow, but hits come when they do.

The hit came at a $1/$2 No Limit table. The jackpot was reset to about $150,000.

As for the remaining open events, the turnouts have been respectable and there’s been a lot of money flying around the Borgata poker room.

Here’s some early results.

Event 2: The $350 + $50 bounty tournament attracted 513 players and a total buy-in of $179,550. The winner was Dennis Roitman, of Brooklyn, N.Y., who won $43,359 in what appears to be his first major tournament win.

Event 4: The $500 + $60 No Limit tournament brought in 305 entries and a total buy-in of $152,500. The winner was Mahn Nguyen, of Munhall, Pa., who wins $39,941.

Nguyen, who is not Men “The Master” Nguyen, also seems to have his first major tournament win.

Event 7: The $400 + $50 Big Stack event drew 476 entries and a total buy-in of $190,400. The winner was Kenneth Moyer, of Hatfield, Pa., who wins $47,190. He’s had a couple of small cashes, but this is by far his biggest cash.

And finally, speaking of the Tropicana, the casino has brought back its “Beat The Straight” promotion on Monday nights for Monday Night Football. If a straight loses to a flush or better (apparently a higher straight doesn’t do it), you’ll be entered into a football box pool for cash prizes. The winners of the first and third quarters get $250, half-time winner gets $500, and game winner gets $1,000.

Meanwhile, at the Borgata they’re running a “Pick the Pros Contest.” While not specifically tied to poker, it’s a $1 million promotion tied to picking NFL winners. The most correct picks each week gets $30,000 prize, plus there are random drawings for slot dollars.

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

In an announcement that largely flew under the atlantic City radar last week, the Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem, pa., said it had reached an exclusive, long-term agreement with Live nation — one of the world’s biggest concert promoters — to book shows and events into the gaming hall’s 3,000-capacity Event Center that’s scheduled to open next May. Live nation, which books the majority of shows for the Borgata hotel, Casino & Spa here, will work in conjunction with the Vision Entertainment Group, which is partnering with the Sands on the project, to essentially bring the same caliber of acts to Bethlehem that it’s been importing to atlantic City. this is not the sort of news that atlantic City, which is mired in a four-year gaming revenue slump, needed to hear. and if you think one entertainment venue located 120 miles from the Boardwalk isn’t such a big deal, think again.

Ever since pennsylvania opened the first of its nine casinos in early 2006 — first with slot machines only, now with table games — the conventional wisdom was that the keystone state gaming halls would be little more than “convenience” casinos marketing and catering mostly to local gamers who didn’t want to drive an hour or more just to play in atlantic City. that didn’t mean those casinos were to be ignored or taken lightly, but — lacking atlantic City’s first-class, non-gaming amenities like gourmet dining rooms, pulsing nightclubs and fine retail shops — they couldn’t provide the same complete destination-resort experience visitors could find in atlantic City.

If there was a silver lining to the nearby competition, it was that pennsylvania’s tax rate on gaming revenues — 55 percent for slots, 16 percent for table games — was so high there was little margin for the visitor amenities that separated atlantic City from pennsylvania. Foremost among them was world-class entertainment.

Except for an isolated, mid-range headliner at some pennsylvania casinos, entertainment there has been largely limited to lounge-style acts and cover bands in small casino bars.

Even today, the biggest stars at the Sands Casino Resort have been acts like The Exceptions, a very fine bar/bat mitzvah band, and Crazy Heart, said to be one of the best country bands in the Lehigh Valley. now, with the ability to present top contemporary artists and sporting events like boxing and mixed martial arts, the Sands’ new venue becomes a game-changer.

press conference last week, one of the principals in Vision Entertainment did offer a glimpse into the future by saying the new performance center would be offering “Mariah Carey-level acts” that had previously bypassed the Lehigh Valley because there weren’t venues there big enough to support such shows.

“It will be the biggest names out there,” Jeffrey Trainer, a co-founder of Vision Entertainment, told The Morning Call of allentown.

More so than the addition of table games in pennsylvania last year, the opening of the Sands’ Event Center next spring could be a major and significant development as pennsylvania competes with atlantic City for the gaming dollar. I seriously doubt the other pennsylvania casinos, which are spread throughout the state, will let the Sands have a monopoly on big-name entertainment for too long. and if pennsylvania ever lowers its tax on gaming revenues, you can expect to see a major push for most casinos there to add entertainment facilities, thereby shrinking the difference between the two markets even further. the impending opening of the Sands Event Center, of course, isn’t a reason for atlantic City to throw in the towel and concede the battle for casino supremacy to pennsylvania.

But it does mean atlantic City will have to redouble its efforts to establish and market itself as something most of the competing markets will never be: a world class destination and convention resort. the addition of a pennsylvania entertainment venue that can compete — both in size and offerings — with atlantic City’s top showrooms gives people living in one of atlantic City’s core markets another option of where to spend their leisure dollar.

Granted, the Sands — which has a 300-room hotel — will never go head-to-head with the Borgata, which has a total of 3,000 rooms, or the new Revel resort, which is due to open next May, for a first-class resort experience. not yet, anyway. But with its new Event Center, the Sands is narrowing the gap. n

‘Shakers’ Get Star Treatment

By Whitney Ullman

T

he Palm goes hollywood this week — as in its theme for the sold-out “movers. shakers. difference makers” luncheon to benefit gilda’s Club of south Jersey. all guests will be walking down the red carpet, photographed by a group of paparazzi and asked spunky questions by host Joan Rivers (a.k.a. gary demato, a performer at Resort’s revue show Believe - Diva’s In a Man’s World). This is going to be a who’s-who event from attendees to honorees.

The event takes place Friday, sept.

16, at the Palm inside the Quarter at Tropicana. Tickets are $150; start time is 11:30am.

To be an award recipient is a huge honor and congrats go to Barbara gomes, the wife of Resorts’ Ceo dennis gomes; lynn dooley a long-time event chair; and Phyllis lacca, of masterpiece advertising. a special treat will be a guest appearance from fourth generation Palm owner Bruce Bozzi Jr. he is making a special trip to atlantic City from los angeles to attend the event. Plus let’s not forget the man of the hour, Palm general manager Paul sandler, who’s helped to raise $400,000 to date. This is an annual event that should definitely be on your radar. speaking of putting things on your radar, have you checked out the new hand and stone massage and Facial spa in the hamilton Commons shopping Center in mays landing? I interviewed the proud owner, mitchell sands, and he can’t wait to tell you more about his spa. he says his spa is special in that all of the services are very affordable.

Plus every month you get your choice of a massage or facial at a discounted rate if you join their lifestyle program.

The most popular services there are the hot stone massage, the foot treatment, the cold stone face massage, and he’s especially proud of the Clarity RX product that allows you to do before-andafter pictures and see the difference this product makes.

The Clarity RX is an organically based product not tested on animals. I may try this, and if I’m feeling daring I’ll post the before and after photos. most services there take about an hour, plus they do all kinds of party celebrations from sweet 16s to bachelorette parties from two Like us:

Next on my radar, keep your calendars open sept. 24 for an intimate, private charity concert event to benefit the schultz-hill Foundation called Gershwin on the Boardwalk. It features singer Julie Budd, and musical director herb Bernstein. Budd started her career at the age of 12 and has been delighting the ears of many ever since. she appeared on more than 100 of merv griffin’s shows and now tours with her one woman show. with her incredible voice paired with the fundraising element of the night, this is sure to be a wonderful and memorable evening. doors open at 7:30pm in the grand Ballroom of Resorts Casino.

For more information check out blackcollarpromotions.com. all in all, there are so many great events coming up in the next couple of weeks. which ones are you attending? and remember, if you have an event or story idea you would like me to know about, please feel free to contact me at any time. happy networking!

I’d also like to send my thoughts and prayers out to all those who were lost in the 9/11 attacks. life is so precious — don’t let another day go by without appreciating the people you care most about. n

Pick a date. Talk with your fiancé and family (and your fiancé’s family) about potential wedding dates to ensure the important people in both your lives will be able to take part.

Choose a location.

Because most popular bridal spots are just that — popular — you may want to start searching for a location quickly.

Pick a style. Many brides choose wedding styles that are reflected in their save-the-dates, invitations, ceremonies, receptions and thank-you cards. Choosing a theme and color scheme in the beginning will help narrow down options later.

Hire a caterer. Take into account the dietary needs of your guests by offering a variety of menu options, including a vegetarian dish.

Order the cake. Whether you choose a large multi­ tiered cake or cupcakes, remember to keep your budget in mind—and pick flavors you and your fiancé truly enjoy.

Make the announcement.

Decide how you want to let the community know of your planned nuptials. Do you want to take professional engagement photos? Do you plan to contact your local paper? Will you include a link to a wedding day website on your savethe-date or your wedding invitations?

Get the gown. On your wedding day, everyone will be awaiting a glimpse of your gown. Listen to your instincts and choose a gown that “feels right” and reflects your personality and style.

Hire a photographer.

Choose your professional photographer wisely. With a walk down the aisle, father/daughter dance and toast, your father is sure to get photographed, but your mother might get overlooked. Make sure to ask the photographer to get shots of your mother throughout the day as well.

n

Choose your flowers.

Once you set the date, discuss with your florists which flowers are in season to help narrow down your selection. You may love tulips, but if you have a winter wedding, they may be hard to come by, and may be more expensive.

n

Book the entertainment.

Do you want a DJ or a live band? Talk with your fiancé about your music preferences, as well as the types of tunes you want played at your reception to keep your guests on the dance floor.

Dress your party. Once you have chosen the wedding dress of your dreams, speak with your fiancé about his wishes for his suit, as well as the

Brides on a Budget

How to Have a Fabulous Wedding for Less (Family Features)

T

he average wedding in america costs around $29,000, according to The wedding report, inc., a wedding industry research company. not surprisingly, couples are looking for ways to save money on their special day. here are some ideas to help you have a wonderful wedding on a budget.

The Date. having a wedding on off-peak months and days can be a bargain. november through april are slower months for weddings, so many halls, caterers and other service providers give discounts because they have fewer bookings. Some will also have discounts for weddings held on any day other than Saturday.

The Venue. if you know anyone with a beautiful home or a large garden, consider having the wedding there. Be sure to factor in the cost of renting tables and chairs. holding the reception at a private place lets you buy your own alcohol and hire your own bartenders, both of which can save you money. another option is to negotiate a package deal on an all-inclusive venue such as a hotel. The wedding and reception are all in one place, and out of town guests won’t have far to go when the party’s over. (negotiate a good deal on a block of rooms for guests.)

Invitations. Keep them simple. high-end paper, custom-colored inks, decorative linings and multiple enclosures all cost more. do

online research to find the best deal – or print them yourself. You can find plenty of affordable options at craft, hobby or office supply stores. To keep postage costs down, don’t use oversized or heavy paper.

Say ‘I Don’t’ To Wedding Stress S

The Dress. it’s possible to save big on your dress by choosing poly satin instead of silk fabric. another option is to buy a discontinued design, rather than the latest one. These are usually less expensive and can be found at (Family Features) smaller dress shops or consignment shops.

Flowers. do you really need fresh flowers blanketing everything? Many couples opt for fresh flowers for the bridal party and silk arrangements as decoration for the ceremony and reception. Look into candles, ribbons, shells and decorative stones as alternatives.

Food. Save serious money by planning the reception for a time when guests will not need a full, seated meal. if your ceremony is between one and three in the afternoon, you can have a tea reception. Serve tea, finger sandwiches, scones and mini pastries. For a reception starting at four or five p.m., have a cocktail reception. drinks and hors d’oeuvres are all you need.

Make it clear on your invitation – “Tea (or cocktail) reception to follow.”

Decorations and Favors. Take inventory of what you already have – and what friends and family have.

Borrowing is cheaper than buying or renting, so ask around. do-it-yourself favors are a great way to personalize your wedding for less. if you do need to buy supplies in large quantities, don’t be afraid to talk to the store manager about a bulk discount.

You can have a fabulous wedding for less with some planning and elbow grease. But the best advice for saving money is to make a budget and stick to it. You’ll be tempted to upgrade just a little here and there – but pretty soon your bargain wedding is no bargain at all.

ToMach acheS, headacheS, sleep problems, poor concentration, moodiness, irritability, racing thoughts…getting married is supposed to be a happy time, right? So why are so many brides-to-be completely stressed out? having to take care of endless details, manage vendors, handle family demands and meet the emotional needs of the groom – and fitting it all into an already busy schedule – can turn any sweet-natured woman into either a blubbering mess or the dreaded bridezilla.

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. wedding consultants and planning experts agree that there are some ways to manage the stress and make the planning process more enjoyable for everyone involved.

Expect stress. if you accept the fact that this is a stressful time, you can let go of guilt about it and take some precautionary measures to deal with it. Talk with your fiancé and a close friend about helping you chill out when things get too tense. come up with a non-judgmental code word they can say to let you know it’s time for a break. when you hear the code word, stop, take a deep breath and then set the planning aside for a while and do something non-wedding related.

Be realistic. a lot of brides set their expectations so high that they drive themselves (and everyone around them) crazy trying to meet them. But unless you have unlimited access to money, you’re going to

have to adjust some of your plans. There are a lot of resources (web sites, books, magazines, friends) that can help you pull off a lovely wedding on whatever budget you have.

Don’t try to please everyone. it’s just not possible. nor is it reasonable to try. The wedding is about the bride and groom. You two need to decide what is meaningful to you and what will express who you are. if his mother wants cousin Jennie to play her bagpipe as you march down the aisle and you don’t care for the idea, it’s ok to say no. come up with a polite response such as, “Thanks for your suggestion, but we’re going in a different direction with the plans.” Feelings may get bruised, but ultimately it’s your day and it only has to please you and your fiancé.

Delegate, delegate, delegate. no matter how capable you are, no matter how nifty your organizer is, you can’t do everything by yourself. nor should you, so stop feeling guilty. it’s ok to ask friends, family and the groom for help – as long as you do it nicely. Some churches or reception halls have a wedding coordinator available to help with details. They’ve done this hundreds of times – you haven’t. Use them!

Take care of yourself. it’s always important to eat right, get enough sleep and exercise, but it’s especially important during times of stress. You’ll feel more energized, you’ll be able to think more clearly and make better decisions. Besides, who wants to see a bride with dark circles under her eyes drag herself down the aisle?

Keep things in perspective. The most important thing to remember is that the wedding is only a one-day event. it’s just a party to celebrate the beginning of a life together. Too many brides feel enormous pressure to make the wedding perfect and they forget about building a solid marriage. don’t lose yourself in the details of this one day. You have a lifetime of new memories to create, this is only one of them.

The city will host air shows at the O.C. Airport and over the Boardwalk this weekend. By Michael Pritchard

A

ny town can put on an air

But putting on two air shows in the same weekend, that’s impressive. ocean city, however, is up to the task as it presents the 26th annual ocean city airport Festival on Saturday, Sept. 17, and then follows on Sunday, Sept. 18, with an aerobatic air Show off the Boardwalk. and both are free! the action starts with the ocean city airport Festival at the airport (where else?), 26th and Bay avenue from 10am-3pm. the airport’s grounds will be packed with various aircraft on display, with an awards ceremony at 2pm for the most outstanding aircraft. the highlight of the ground display will be a rare Mitchell world war ii B-25 Bomber. the plane was made famous in april of 1942 when General Jimmy Doolittle led 15 B-25’s from the aircraft carrier Hornet in america’s first attack

on mainland Japan. the B-25, from the Midatlantic air Museum in reading, pa., will take off from the o.c. airport at the conclusion of the Festival at 3pm. other events include a kite display by air circus of ocean city from 11:30am-12:30pm on the airport’s runway. at 12:30pm, the n.J.pine Barrens rc club will present a model airplane display. Some of the miniature jets will attain speeds of over 100 miles per hour while in flight. the air show also has a lot for kids including a paper airplane making and flying contest at 11am. there will be categories for children from 4 to 12. First place winners will receive a free ride on a real airplane, the red Baron, which flies out of ocean city. a paper clip sculpting contest will be held during the day, plus a yo-yo demonstration and Bubble display by air circus. there will also be free face painters.

the youth band 1-2-3 Draw will entertain. there will also be a mini playground at the entrance to the airport and an antique auto display with a runway parade at 11:20am. other highlights include free helicopter and airplane rides and refreshments will be available. not enough? on Sunday, stunt pilots will perform a twohour aerobatic air Show over the beach. the display will be visible the entire length of the city’s boardwalk from 1-3pm. the aerobatic Show will feature 12 acts including individual performances and groups flying in formation. Featured performances include aerobatics world champion, rob Holland, Jane wicker, a daredevil wing walker who has appeared in numerous movies and the iron Eagle aerobatic team. also featured will be Bill Gordon flying an aurora 450 Stearman; Jim Beasley in a Spitfire Mk. XViii; the Fire Birds aerobatic team; randy Devere piloting cJ-6 aerobatics; the nE raiders Formation team; stunt pilots Kevin russo, Kendall Simpson and Jack Knutson and a Vintage t-6/SnJ Flight.

The name comes from the anatomy of a fish, of course, and this establishment does seafood the right way. By Frank Gabriel

Waterfront dining in Gardner’s Basin

our first taste from the kitchen was a dining companion’s tuna mango timbale. Plated atop a gingery seaweed salad, the blend of fish and fruit proved to be luscious. the addition of a Creole remoulade and cilantro made for a creamy, mildly spicy experience. we liked the thinking here, pairing global flavors in the same way that south american cuisine is influenced by its Pacific rim visitors. the chunky tuna was fresh enough that we’re guessing it was an a la minute creation, French kitchen speak for made-to-order. either way this generous portion would have easily made for a fine midday meal as well. next up were a quirky house specialty we simply couldn’t resist; a trio of deviled eggs. not an item you’re likely to see elsewhere, the eggs were crab stuffed, old bay and shrimp varieties. each ovum served as a perfect, firm culinary vessel for the delivery of its contents. our favorite, which surprised us, was the old bay. Its qualities mirrored those of similar dev-

iled eggs we grew up eating at every summer backyard barbeque. seared filet grinders were a merciful re-do on what we consider to be the decade’s single most over-utilized menu item; sliders. these little bites of prime steak, seared nicely to mid-rare, were served atop toast points with plenty of caramelized onions. a garlic butter dipping sauce allows diners to custom-craft each tasting. when combined, the rich beef, slippery but delicious onions and buttery dip — light on the garlic, another quality touch — couldn’t have been more complimentary. while we didn’t sample any salads on this visit, scales offers seven. this includes four featuring, you guessed it, seafood. we’d return to try either the Caribbean conch, chilled shrimp and lobster Dijon, a grilled vegetable plate — zucchini, squash, Portobellos. Manchego cheese with a jalapeno-cucumber sauce — or a chilled seafood medley. entrees were both equally geocentric.

My crab cakes, Maryland-style, were loaded

with clean, white jumbo lump meat. Pan or griddle cooked, they were golden and just barely crisp outside. within, the level of seasoning was flawless. Crab cakes are one of our barometer items for any seafood restaurant’s kitchen. these were exemplary, not bound with any excess of mayonnaise or bread crumbs, which can sometimes divert attention away from the real star, crab. accompanying, as with all seafood main courses, was a scoop of brown rice and sautéed seasonal veg, on this night a zucchini and squash mix. our other choice was pecan crusted mahi-mahi. Cut thick to reduce overcooking, the fillet was juicy and tender. Pecans were flamed with brandy, releasing their natural oils and allowing for a crunchy textural feel. we love mahi and find it works especially well with sweet or hot preparations. this one brought out another aspect of it’s personality, via the complex, woody essence the liquor left in those nuts. very nice stuff.

Mahi is also the species utilized in the house’s fish tacos, true to that west coast surfer staple’s origins. other large plates include lobster penne, the house’s seafood pasta — with shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels — over bowtie pasta, rib eye and filet. Crispy seafood platters with shrimp, scallops, fish and chips and oysters are similarly available.

Desserts sampled were a deep-dish apple pie and a carrot cake, both well above the norm. new ownership seems fully committed to returning this historic neighborhood to its once-lofty status. Particularly since they have been in charge of the bordering back bay ale House for almost a decade. as we lingered in the cool of the evening, party boats returning from around-the-island excursions brought dozens of potential customers almost directly to the doors of their duo of businesses. For those of you who haven’t ventured out into this part of atlantic City, you owe it to yourself to do so. n

veryone knows about atlantic City’s fabled beach, boardwalk and towering casinos. but, hidden to many, there is another atlantic City, just as full of adventure and life. tucked away in the northernmost outposts of absecon Island one finds the Inlet district and Gardner’s basin. the area has become regentrified over the last decade or so, with posh townhouses replacing what had become dilapidated urban squalor. It also remains a vital outpost of the coastal Jersey seafood industry, given its close proximity to the waters of both the back bays and atlantic ocean. on the warm weekend night we visited scales Grill & Deck bar, those connections couldn’t have been any more abundantly clear. throughout our twilight meal, fishing vessels returning from what was undoubtedly a lengthy day at sea, regularly chugged by the waterfront facility’s spacious grounds. scales’ bill of fare reflects that locale, with an extensive array of aquatic specialties. returning to that setting for a moment, allow us to paint a picture for you. Imagine sitting quayside, nestled just inside a quiet, inland waterway. Docks for those aforementioned commercial boats extend to your left. to your right, that lazy passage leading out into openocean waters. straight ahead, looming across the island, the spectacular lights of Harrah’s resort, the borgata/water Club and Golden nugget all sparkle in the still distance. there is literally no place quite like it in atlantic City. and, for us at least, there is nothing quite so appealing as dining al fresco — with the soft, late-summer air whispering to enjoy it while still possible. For the record, scales also offers extensive indoor seating for those so inclined, and year-round use.

ADVERTORIAL

RESTAURANT

Name: SPOTLIGHT FEATURE; Width: 10 in; Depth: 2.75 in; Color: Black plus three “Last chance” to experience Wild West Experience the best of the Wild West without leaving southern New Jersey. At the Last Chance Saloon of Chesilhurst you’ll get good food, spirits and music to suit every kind of cowboy. If you’re looking to relax with a cold one or let loose with some live tunes in a classic country-western bar, this is the place to be.

When Last Chance owner Manny Corti bought the old biker joint Double Deuce Saloon, he kept it a place where chrome cowboys could feet at home, but where a variety of guests are most welcome. According to Corti, a motorcyclist himself, his establishment borrowed the name and old-western feel of the original Last Chance Saloon of Tombstone, Arizona. Live entertainment is

scheduled every weekend throughout the fall and winter, and don’t leave without trying Manny’s favorite, the “Fat Boy” Burger. Taking its name from his bike, a Harley Fat Boy Soft Tail, it features two freshly made Angus beef patties, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on a Kaiser roll. “It’s so big you can barely get it in your mouth,” Corti says. Make it to the Last Chance Saloon on Saturday, Sept. 24, for an all-day, all-you-can-eatand-drink festival for only $10 per person (or $5 for food only). Come on down!

5 Questions with TV Critic David Bianculli

By Michael Pritchard

T

s e p t e m b e r 1 5 , 2 0 1 1 • A T L A N T I C C I T Y W EE K L Y 46

You named Boardwalk Empire as the best new show of 2010 and the show performed wonderfully, attracted a large audience and is nominated for numerous awards. What would you say was the secret of its success?

The big deal with this show is that it not only came with a really good lineage — you know when you have names attached like Martin Scorsese and Daniel Okrent as an advisor, you know this is going to be a really good show in theory and that they are at least going to try and get it right. But the other thing that really benefited the show was that it came out in a year when the broadcast networks delivered nothing for the fall season. I wasn’t the only critic that wrote that there is nothing new on broadcast TV that’s as good as Boardwalk Empire. It used to be that cable wouldn’t counter-program against broadcast TV, but in the last few years they’ve gotten stronger and tougher and more arrogant.

Does a show like Boardwalk Empire have to have the freedom of being on HBO to survive?

There are certain genres that lend

themselves so much to a freedom of expression. A show like The Sopranos was originally pitched to a broadcast network, and if it had been made for broadcast without the violence and the language, it would have been a very different show. Later, the show was edited for broadcast reruns, and

villain. And at what point along the way are we going to say we are no longer rooting for him? Perhaps we should already be there, but that’s not how it works. You watch TV and you root for the guy. … It’s a definite evolution of television and it’s also an expectation and acceptance from

of the supporting actors, even the very small roles, and they’re very well cast and doing great work. So you have lots of things going on in every scene and every episode with lots of good people. But if Buscemi was not good, if he wasn’t up for it, then the show wouldn’t be satisfying.

Boardwalk Empire is a period piece about the ’20s. Do you think that the show has sparked an interest in that era? Can we expect to see more shows about the gangster days?

A shot from season two of ‘Boardwalk Empire’

I find those edited episodes almost unwatchable. … So when you think about a show about gangsters [like Boardwalk Empire], yes, you’re going to want to paint with those colors on the palette.

It seems sometimes that anti-heroes now dominate TV. We root for bad guys like Tony Soprano and Nucky Thompson. What’s your opinion of that trend?

The anti-hero has become the norm on TV right now. All the characters that are in the center of shows these days are so flawed. A show like Breaking Bad is the most fascinating.

The series was designed to start the main character out as a hero, but you’ve watched him evolve into a

elevision Critic David Bianculli is an associate professor of TV and Film at Rowan University and TV critic for NPR’s Fresh Air as well as author of the blog TVworthwatching.com. Last year he was one of many critics around the country to declare HBO’s Boardwalk Empire the cream of the crop and the breakout show of 2010.

Of course, he cautions that there wasn’t much competition from other new shows, but he still classifies Boardwalk Empire as one of the best and most well-made shows on TV. As Boardwalk Empire advances towards its second season premiere Sept. 25, Bianculli spoke to Atlantic City Weekly about the success of the show and the trends on TV that have us all rooting for bad guys and gangsters each week.

the audience that didn’t used to be there.

When Boardwalk Empire premiered, much was made about Steve Buscemi stepping out as the lead and playing that anti-hero. How’s he done and how has the rest of the cast performed?

I think he’s doing really well in this part, but part of the strength of any really good show is not only the lead, but also the strength of the people around him or her. They make the lead shine when they’re good.

And the supporting cast in Boardwalk Empire is exceedingly strong. Kelly Macdonald, for example, I think is a wonderful actress and doing so much good work. But you go down the line

’The anti-hero has become the norm on TV right now. All the characters in the center of shows these days are so flawed.’

Absolutely. Ken Burns is about to show his documentary Prohibition on PBS [Oct. 2], and he started working on it before Boardwalk Empire came out, but he’s enough of a showman to know he’s benefiting greatly from the interest in Boardwalk Empire. It’s a very interesting period. I’ve seen Burns’ documentary and in it, Al Capone is this bit player who comes to prominence. And the same thing is happening in Boardwalk Empire.

He’s been sort of a prototype of a gangster, but everyone has their eyes on him. Boardwalk Empire has a very interesting mixture of the real and the fictional. ... And, of course, television will always try to copy anything successful. The problem is the imitations very rarely work. You could see a sort of Untouchables vibe in some new shows, but that’s a very hard thing to do. So the shows fail. But then television just doesn’t have any sense of memory. n

No municipality in the nation needed some good news in a bad economy more than Atlantic City. Enter ‘Boardwalk Empire.’ By Ray Schweibert

The Jersey Rhythm Devils perform in A.C. Sept. 24. on, so we kind of had to be prepared to react and promote what we could based on what it is they’re going to highlight on the show,” says Vasser.

“Is it going to be the Steel Pier? Is it going to be the Knife and Fork? Is it going to be Fralinger’s Salt Water Taffy? Who knew [in season one] they were going to highlight the Ritz, or the preemie infants on the Boardwalk?”

Vasser said that hits on the ACCVA’s Web site, traffic to its visitors centers and calls to its information phonelines were all up since the show started.

“Obviously I can’t say that’s all from Boardwalk Empire, but when you think about the fact that Atlantic City is now top of mind to a national audience, it can only help when it comes time to think about where they want to go for long weekend or vacation,” he says. “The show’s certainly helped bring Atlantic City to the forefront of people’s thoughts again.”

Other Boardwalk Empire-related events include the following: Caesars Entertainment has part-

“[Empire’s] helped remind people of what a colorful history we’ve had as a city, and helped bring these things back into focus for some people. And I think the fact that the series is very well regarded only helps.”

A link to Boardwalk Empire-related promotions on the ACCVA’s Web site (atlanticcitynj.com), and the nostalgic photos from 1920s Atlantic City on its home page, attests to the fact that the city is very much behind the show as a viable marketing tool. The ACCVA helped assemble two Prohibition-era tours — the Academy Bus Company’s “Nucky’s Way” tour, and the Great American Trolley’s “Roaring ’20s” tour — that strive to highlight existing landmarks, or the sites where they once existed that are prominently depicted in the show. There is also a life-sized replica of the A.C. storefronts that appear in the show on the ocean side of West Hall, adjacent to Boardwalk Hall. “[The show producers] have been a little tight-lipped about what iconic symbols of Atlantic City or signs or buildings they’re going to be focusing

nered with HBO to promote the “Compliments of Nucky” campaign. It includes all sorts of special offers, perks and package deals at Caesars Entertainment’s four properties (Harrah’s, Showboat, Bally’s and Caesars), and a free community premiere screening at Caesars’ Circus Maximus Theater at 9pm Sunday, Sept. 25. Caesars is currently working on lining up a meet-and-greet with cast members in conjunction with the event, as it did last year. The “Compliments” campaign also features an HBO-backed beautification project at three gateway locations into Atlantic City, and from midnight Friday, Sept. 23, through midnight Sunday, Sept. 25, HBO will cover all eastbound tolls at the Pleasantville toll plaza on the A.C. Expressway — “compliments of Nucky.” Go to the show’s Web site, boardwalkempire.com, and click “Compliments of Nucky” under the heading Boardwalk Buzz to learn more, or go to the show’s Facebook page (facebook.com/ boardwalkempire). *** The Atlantic City Free Public Library (at 1 N. Tennessee Ave. in A.C.) has a series of free events scheduled for the show’s second season called “Roaring Back to the ’20s.” It includes a concert on the Boardwalk (1pm, Saturday, Sept. 24, at Kennedy Plaza) with the Atlantic Ciy-based Jersey Rhythm Devils, Jim Craine Band and Melanie Brough, showcasing the era’s music and dance; a panel discussion (2pm, Saturday, Oct. 29 at the library) featuring local historians, among them Empire author Nelson Johnson; and library exhibits that include rarely seen childhood photos of Nucky Johnson. The photos will be added to the library’s “Atlantic City Experience” Web site (atlanticcityexperience.org). Call 345-2269, ext. 3115, or go to acfpl.org for more information on these events. n

hat prompts those who have already had long, successful careers to embark on endeavors involving lots more painstaking work may be beyond most of our comprehension. But toiling for years in a town with a scandalous legal past must have gotten the best of his curiosity, so Judge Nelson Johnson researched and wrote the true-to-life book Boardwalk Empire: the Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City.

Eight years after the book’s publication it caught the attention of HBO. Famed screenwriter Terence Winter and director Martin Scorsese took the reins of the project, and in its first season last fall the series Boardwalk Empire — based on Johnson’s research but highly fictionalized — was nominated for 18 Emmy Awards.

“Judge Johnson has got to be pinching himself sometimes,” says Jeff Vasser, executive director of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority (ACCVA). “He writes it out of a labor of love, and all of a sudden it becomes a highly popular TV series.”

Nowhere in the nation is the series more popular than in the town on which it is based, checkered legal past or not. Anticipation of the show’s second-season launch on Sept. 25 is evidenced everywhere, with ’20s-themed tours, special programs, exhibits, events and period-appropriate music to match the series’ Prohibition-era setting.

“What I found very interesting is that there are people who really only think of Atlantic City in its post-gaming days,” says Vasser. “People forget about the role Atlantic City played in American history and the role we played in pop culture at the time. A lot of people look back at that ’20s era as a very romantic period in American history, and certainly Atlantic City was at the center of Prohibition, the growth of entertainment in this country, and then of course there’s our connection to the early days of organized crime.

oardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter did not set out to create a drama series for HBO based in 1920s Atlantic City.

Nor did he intend to emulate the formula that he employed while working on the long-running HBO series The Sopranos, the mega successful show based on a New Jersey mob boss and his family that ran from 1999-2007.

“I think if you set out to try to replicate something, even in terms of say looking at the formulas of those shows and try to copy it and hope that it will have the same level of success, I think you’re doomed to failure,” Winter says during a recent phone interview for Atlantic City Weekly. “It’s like copying an old master painting. It’s never going to be as good as the original and I think it’s sort of a fool’s mission to try to do that. So I just wanted [Boardwalk Empire] to be its own thing. If there are similarities to [The Sopranos] it’s just based on my own pedigree of having worked on The Sopranos for so many years, but you’ll probably see similarities between The Sopranos and episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess that I wrote!”

Following a hearty laugh, Winter adds, “It’s not intentional, but it’s just me trying to do the most entertaining and best show that I can do.”

A little while after the finale of The Sopranos, HBO executives gave Winter a copy of Atlantic County Superior Court Judge Nelson Johnson’s 2002 book Boardwalk Empire — The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City.

Winter says he was simply told: “Read it and see if there is a series in there.”

After digesting the book, which chronicles the history of Atlantic City from its earliest beginnings up to the pre-Borgata casino era, Winter saw a series indeed, but the time frame wasn’t set until further consideration.

Initially, says Winter, there were other periods during Atlantic City’s storied history that were possibilities for a series to be built upon.

“I read the book and took it all in, which was great,” says Winter. “Talk about

Once casted, the actors on the show weren’t asked to read Nelson Johnson’s book, but, Winter says, for research many of them did.

“A lot of the actors were interested in [reading the book]. In general, everybody wanted to just dive right into the research, which is really fun. Especially for the guys who are playing the historical figures. And now it’s to the point where they know more about the characters they’re playing than I do. We have actually had Michael Stuhlbarg [who plays Arnold Rothstein] and Vincent Piazza [Lucky Luciano] come into the writers’ room. Once we were debating about Arnold Rothstein one day and I said, ‘You know who knows more about this than we do is Michael. Let’s just get him in here.’

“So we had him in for lunch and he just came in and kind of sat with us for a couple of hours and just told us everything he knew about Arnold Rothstein — as did Vincent — even right down to little personality quirks and personal ticks. There’s so much other research to do on the show that it’s hard to keep straight and these guys really get into their own characters and they’re very conscious of where we are in the time-line and what was happening in 1920 and 1921 and the various business enterprises they were in; whether or not any of that makes it onto the actual show doesn’t matter. It’s just interesting for them to know: ‘This is going on in my [character’s] life right now.’”

It’s been a long year for Winter, who started writing season two of Boardwalk Empire as the magnificent first season was picking up prestigious nominations, awards and accolades from around the globe. That includes a whopping 18 2011 Emmy nominations.

(The 63rd PrimeTime Emmy Awards air live from Los Angeles, this Sunday, Sept. 18, on FOX at 8pm. The show picked up seven Creative Arts Emmys last weekend.)

Winter was still writing the season two finale script as of earlier this month, with the last day of shooting slated for Sept. 7. He says that some minor footage was still being shot (as of Sept. 7) and reports indicated that the show’s second season finale was still filming as of Sept. 12 in New York.

shape with all of the other rich characters on the show, the original book’s author, Nelson Johnson, released a book about the history of the African-American experience in connection to the creation of Atlantic City, called The Northside. As with Johnson’s first book, Winter digested it.

“It’s a terrific book,” says Winter. “And again, it’s a fascinating look at the infrastructure of that city and how huge the African-American contribution was. It’s very interesting.”

Winter says that he has learned “so much” about Atlantic City since embarking on the Boardwalk Empire journey, but one thing stands out.

“The thing that strikes me more than anything about [Atlantic City] is just how it’s such a microcosm of America and sort of a reflection of America in general. It mirrors everything else that’s going on in the country, between how the government is run, and how people interact with each other, and that sort of stuff. I mean it felt like it was its own little universe, but it was really a reflection of the bigger universe around it.”

Winter sees the city from a Boardwalk Empire perspective; it’s not just a casino town as many in recent generations have come to perceive. (Ironically, the town’s first legalized casino, Resorts, which opened in 1978, was recently purchased by new owners who have transformed the property with a Roaring ‘20s theme, banking on the popularity of Boardwalk Empire.)

“There’s so much more going on there [than casinos],” says Winter. “It really was America’s playground. Certainly everybody who lives on the East Coast for the most part has parents or grandparents who visited Atlantic City at least once during their lifetime and even through the rest of the country. I mean, Atlantic City was Vegas before Vegas was invented for the most part.

I mean even though the casinos weren’t there [before 1978] you could find anything you wanted — legal or illegal — in Atlantic City. And highbrow to low — everything from fine restaurants to hot dogs and flop houses to the most elegant hotels. I mean, everything you wanted was there — and

‘I always fantasize and wish that I could get inside a time capsule and visit Atlantic City circa 1925 or just be able to walk up and down that Boardwalk — I’m sure it was just magic.’

[could be had] cheaply.”

As the interview with Winter progresses, the Emmy-Award winning writer/producer begins to sound like a bona fide Atlantic City historian.

“If you were a working person you could take your family on a visit to the shore,” says Winter, “and be pushed in a rolling chair and stay in a hotel and eat like a king and see all kinds of entertainment. I always fantasize and wish that I could get inside a time capsule and visit Atlantic City circa 1925 or just be able to walk up and down that Boardwalk — I’m sure it was just magic.”

There is a delicate balance between staunch historical accuracy and creative liberties (such as the changed names, the invented characters and story lines, etc.) taken with the characters and story lines on Boardwalk Empire. Winter says the straddling between fiction and non-fiction is all part of the challenge of making the show.

“Part of the challenge is to say: When do we take liberties with historical events or characters and when do we stick with the truth? I mean for the most part we’re very close to the reality of when things happened and who was where.

“For example, you’re dealing with Arnold Rothstein and Al Capone and Lucky Luciano and those guys did know Nucky Johnson and so now it’s our fictional Nucky Thompson.

And we say, ‘Well, all right, the basis of it is true, these guys did visit Atlantic City, they did do business together,’ you know, so that being the case I can now comfortably say, ‘OK, it is possible that Al Capone knew a guy like Jimmy Darmody in Atlantic City.’ As long as I’m true to the spirit of who I know Al Capone was I’m comfortable putting fictional words into his mouth.

“I knew Al Capone’s back story with his son who had congenital deafness and Capone’s syphilis and you really feel free to explore those stories. I wouldn’t go invent a child for Capone or change Rothstein’s back story, but taking what I knew to be true — somehow, for example, Arnold Rothstein was able to wiggle out of his indictment for the World Series scandal in 1920. And with that being the case, it is possible that our fictional Nucky Thompson may have had something to do with it.

“It’s that kind of stuff, but I would never take creative liberties and change the course of history and, you know, kill Al Capone at age 20. Things like that I would not do. I’ll leave that to Quentin Tarantino like he did at the end of Inglourious Basterds when Hitler was killed in a theater fire!” n

in terms of the subject matter [of both projects]. I was lucky enough to get to see an advanced copy of his documentary, which is just amazing. But so much of what he covers is material we’ve covered or covered unbeknownst to him in season two, which is really a fun, happy coincidence.

“I was actually thrilled to see that his research, which was just painstaking, completely validates all of our research, which was equally as painstaking. And it was also very cool to hear that he’s a fan of the show.”

While Steve Buscemi’s Nucky Thompson, Michael Pitt’s Jimmy Darmody, Vincent Piazza’s Lucky Luciano and other stars on the show get a lot of the headlines, one character in particular who was irresistible during the first season of Boardwalk Empire was Chalky White. Especially for fans who recognized the actor, Michael Kenneth Williams, from his unforgettable role as Omar Little in the gripping series The Wire, which ran for five seasons (20022008) on HBO. Winter says his writing team was “determined to get more of Chalky in” during the second season.

“He’s such a fascinating character,” says Winter. “Just as Michael Kenneth Williams is such a terrific actor, but part of the challenge is that we have such a fantastic cast and working in story lines to accommodate everybody is challenging. But we absolutely wanted to revisit Chalky and the entire AfricanAmerican community in season two, which we did, and are really excited about.”

Towards the end of the first season of Boardwalk Empire, as Nucky loses and then re-connects with his love Margaret Schroeder (played by the gorgeous Kelly Macdonald); Arnold Rothstein begs Nucky to get him out of an indictment in Chicago for fixing the World Series; Jimmy Darmody’s relationship with his father The Commodore develops further (and even further in the cliffhanger of a finale) while the one with his wife and son suffers; Atlantic City Mayor Edward Bader and United States President Warren G. Harding — both Republicans — are both elected; Chalky White gets revenge on the out-of-town Rothstein thug who lynched his friend, and other major developments take

There were “little odds and ends” that still needed to be shot as of Labor Day weekend, but, says Winter, “For all principal photography I think we wrap tomorrow night [Sept.

7]. The rain kind of screwed us up a little bit today [Tuesday, Sept. 6] so we may have to rearrange our schedule a little, but yeah, for all intents and purposes we’ll be done by the end of the week. I’m very excited to get it in the can and very proud of season two and looking forward to season three, which we’re going to start writing in October. So, no break. Just straight on through.”

Winter, along with millions of other Americans, will tune in each Sunday to watch each episode as it airs on HBO, starting with the Sept. 25 (9pm) season two premiere.

“It’s funny. It was a tradition last year and I did the same thing when I worked on The Sopranos. Sunday night, I’d be in my chair and would watch it and then, that’s it, just let it go.”

Winter says he only re-watched season one of Boardwalk Empire right before starting to write season two. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have watched it again.

“I like to experience it with the audience,” he says. “I like to watch it in real time and it’s funny, it’s not until it’s on TV when you start to notice certain things. I mean, by the time it gets to air I’ve seen each episode 10 times, but I’ll still notice things for the first time when I’m seeing it live. I’m [not working] and just watching it as a viewer.”

Instead of listening to the sound, checking camera angles, tweaking the script, and noticing the lighting as he does on set while filming, Winter appreciates the opportunity to let each episode “wash over” him and “just happen” on Sunday nights.

Even with Boardwalk Empire taking up so much of his time, Winter is developing a new show for HBO along with Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger “set in the world of rock music in the 1970s in New York City.

It’s been something we’ve been working on for a while. So I got that and Boardwalk Empire, which is plenty!”

Despite filming for the second season having wrapped, with the Emmy Awards coming up in Los Angeles, followed by the New York City premiere and then the HBO premiere on Sept. 25, Winters is still in heavy work mode. He appeared with filmmaker Ken Burns on Sept. 8 at the restaurant 21 in Manhattan to “sort of cross-promote his Prohibition documentary [on PBS] and our show,” says Winter.

“I’ve been such an admirer of his work for years and it’s just great to be able to meet him and actually collaborate on this luncheon where ... there’s a lot of overlap

‘Prohibition’ Time

The documentary filmmaker tackles a different kind of ‘Civil War.’

By Jim Waltzer

A

ll those bottles of booze bobbing in the tide that flings each new episode of Boardwalk Empire ashore present the perfect imagery for 1920s Atlantic City. Indeed, the waterways of Absecon Island provided an ideal route for illegal alcoholic beverages to reach the resort, as rumrunners out-dueled the Coast Guard to keep local speakeasies well stocked. flouting the law and the ill-advised federal Volstead Act that created the era of Prohibition was hardly confined to the seashore. the nationwide battle between bootleggers and G-men played as a dramatic struggle for America’s soul in the wake of World War I. but the soul-stylers never really had a chance. too many Americans liked to drink and didn’t like to be told how to live their lives. A new breed of “businessman” kept the spigots flowing: the modern mobster — colorful, irresistible, lethal.

Matchless documentarian Ken burns captures this volatile, surreal scene in his new miniseries Prohibition, which premieres oct. 2,

3 and 4 at 8pm on Pbs. the three-part, fiveand-a-half-hour film explores both the forces that produced the U.s. Constitution’s 18th Amendment (which outlawed booze, precipitating enforcement standards set by the January 1920 Congressional act sponsored by Minnesota representative Andrew Volstead), and those that led to its undoing. Along the way, we meet a gallery of rogues, redeemers, and reactionaries.

“People’s idea of Prohibition is rain-slicked Chicago streets with Model ts careening around the corner with machine guns blasting, and that is part of our story,” says filmmaker burns, whose epic Civil War series changed the artistic landscape for documentaries. “but the story we’ve chosen to tell is much bigger than that, and begins a hundred years before Prohibition went into effect.”

Part one of the new series examines that “century-long effort” that saw concerned women (typically with husbands prone to drop a week’s wages at the saloon) “join forces with the clergy . . . to push through

this amendment to the Constitution,” says burns. “they wanted it enshrined [in the Constitution] like the abolition of slavery. everyone knew that no amendment had ever been repealed.”

Not so, this time. Prohibition’s run lasted for 13 years before being watered down by Congress in March 1933; the 18th Amendment spiraled down the drain altogether late that year. America had the Depression on its mind, and needed a stiff drink. hindsight tells us that the well-intended, if fanatical, bid to rid the country of alcohol abuse flew in the face of a post-WWI explosion of hot jazz and rising hemlines, as well as the American birthright of self-determination.

It was, in the words of one commentator on the Prohibition series, “a preposterous idea.” for Nucky Johnson and his minions, however, it turned out to be a capital idea. the boss man, treasurer of Atlantic County and king of Atlantic City, enriched his personal treasury with “enormous” sums of bootleg income, state and federal investigators substantiated years after the fact, when the bill finally came due for Nucky, who had made law enforcement and ordinary citizens complicit in his operation. When the game was on, federal Revenue Agents didn’t have a chance.

As the nation’s wettest locale, Atlantic City lay claim to being its premier convention

site. What better way to loosen wallets than by loosening inhibitions? Meanwhile other towns, too, made hay with the lawmakers’ shortsightedness, spawning a new order of crime kingpins such as New York’s Arnold Rothstein, “lucky” luciano and Meyer lanksy. Chicago had a guy named Capone. “our greatest heroes were also our greatest criminals,” intones the voice-over on the film’s trailer.

Indeed, with the black sox scandal (purportedly orchestrated by Rothstein) and “say it ain’t so” shoeless Joe still fresh, who could tell the difference? the Prohibition project germinated when burns and co-producer lynn Novick heeded the suggestion of author Daniel okrent, who had been a voice on their Baseball documentary and was writing his book Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition. Among the new film’s insights is that, in a country “convulsed with change,” as Novick puts it,” alcohol came to be seen as the problem.” the conflict between small towns and big cities frames the saga of a period dominated by industrialization and immigration. themes that continue to resonate. n

places,” Laciura says, pulling at the brim of his chapeau. “He would find out wherever Nucky was, pick him up as the evening was coming to an end, and he took care of him, got him to his hotel — here, at The Ritz — and made sure that he got to bed safely. And he did this for a period of time and Nucky finally said, ‘Listen, I want to hire you. You can be my right-hand man.’

So, at which point Lou, aka Eddie, became his bodyguard, his chauffeur, his barber, whatever he needed.”

Laciura also learned that “Nucky would get up around 4:30 in the afternoon and Lou — Eddie — would make sure that he had his dozen eggs, pound of bacon, coffee and toast — that’s what he had every ‘morning.’

Luckily for Laciura, Jamie Satz — Kessel’s granddaughter — had read about the show that HBO was making and saw that it was going to center around Nucky [Johnson] and wondered if there would be any mention of her grandfather.

Satz went online and found that Laciura had been cast as Eddie Kessler, the part based on her grandfather.

“She went ahead and called [HBO] and introduced herself to [show crteator] Terry [Winter] and asked if it would be possible to meet [me],” says Laciura. “So Terry, naturally, came to me on set and said, ‘The granddaughter of your character’ — and I said, ‘When can I meet her?’

“Because you never know, this is an actor’s dream! Somebody who’s still alive [who] can give you some insight about the character you’re portraying, especially when you know he was a real person.

“So I did my research as much as I could do online and then other places to find out who Lou Kessel was and then I met Jamie and, later, her sister and two brothers.”

Eventually, Satz helped Laciura get in touch with her extended family in California. “[They] knew Lou [even] closer!” gasps Laciura. “[We’re talking] cousins!”

Jamie Satz and the rest of the late Lou Kessel’s family would give Laciura a wealth of information for him to apply to his role. Further, the family became close with Laciura (“I’m now

called ‘Pops,’” he says with a genuine smile) even giving the actor Lou Kessel’s gold watch (and throwing him a surprise 60th birthday party in Brigantine following the Labor Day weekend interview).

“And so now you’ll see in the first episode of the second season there’s a close-up of a watch that I show to Nucky to tell him that it’s time to go [and] that is Lou Kessel’s watch,” says Laciura. “And that’s the watch that I use on the show. It’s kind of nice that the watch is featured as well.”

Laciura says he has more than enjoyed the time he’s spent with Satz and her family in Brigantine, as well as on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, over the past few years. When asked about his favorite thing in Atlantic City he quickly replies with a laugh, “Jamie’s house.”

“As a matter of fact, I did an interview for a New Orleans magazine,” says Laciura, “and they asked those general questions like, ‘What is your favorite vacation spot?’ And I said, ‘Brigantine.’

“The feeling is so incredible,” he adds, “that we are part of the family. I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s like we were always [connected], it’s just we hadn’t met.”

Although Laciura resembles Kessel, he’s the first to admit he’s not an exact match. Kessel was 260 pounds; Laciura is much lighter, especially now after shaving off several pounds over the past year.

However, the actor emphasizes that he’s playing a fictional character who is based on a real person.

A real person he knows a lot about.

“Lou was a wrestler in Austria,” says Laciura.

“He has a history of a lot of jobs — bartender,

cab driver, wrestler, and whatever else, and probably in his mind the luckiest day of his life was when Nucky hired him. And I think that probably he felt such a loyalty [to Nucky.]

“I mean you see a lot on the show where [Eddie] is never thanked. In the first season he saves Nucky’s life and the next day a guy comes [to see Nucky] and Eddie says to Nucky, ‘Shall I frisk him?’ And Nucky says, ‘What are you Tom Mix now? No, get outta here!’

In this day and age people don’t understand that you don’t have to be praised for what you’re hired to do; you just do your job.”

Prior to meeting with Satz and her family, Laciura found Kessel’s birth certificate online and learned that he was from Austria, his parents were Russian Jews and that he came to Atlantic City at 24, building rolling chairs initially.

“He was a family man,” says Laciura. “He had one son and three daughters, he was a Free Mason, he had curly hair, my hairline — or what used to be my hairline — and a wonderful, beautiful, healthy handlebar mustache.

And he was a very likable person to all those who he met and knew him. According to what Jamie [has told me] everybody that loved Nucky, they had a similar affection for Lou. “What I did find out from reading letters that Nucky had written, was that the biggest regret that Nucky had was that the day Lou was buried — and I did, by the way, visit his grave site [and] put a stone on his headstone [and] took pictures — they wouldn’t release [Nucky] from prison just that few hours to pay his respects to Lou and of course the family. And he said that he would never forget that because Lou was the best man he ever knew. And I thought that showed how much respect [Nucky had for Lou].” n photo bY NICK VALLINote

in Atlantic City and Anthony Laciura is dressed in a crisp white suit, a tan Panama hat and is sitting on a plush black leather sofa on the second floor of The Ritz on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City.

It’s not the first, second or even third time the 60-year-old Louisiana-born actor has spent time in Atlantic City over the past few years — mainly for pleasure, not (show) business.

Laciura and his wife, Joel, have not only become attached to the seaside resort, but also to the neighboring isle of Brigantine, where the couple has stayed for holiday weekends over the summer.

It started a few years ago when Laciura was researching his role as the fictional Eddie Kessler on the award-winning HBO drama series Boardwalk Empire. Laciura’s character is (the fictional) Nucky Thompson’s right-hand man, driver, butler and — as season one revelaed — bodyguard.

Thompson, based on the real-life Enoch “Nucky” Johnson, did indeed have such a loyal assistant and his name was Louis Kessel, a life-long Atlantic City resident whose granddaughter currently resides in Brigantine.

year’s fest, including actress-director Sarah Polley’s Take This Waltz. Set in toronto, Michelle Williams is happily married to the likable cookbook author played by Seth rogan, but finds herself delving into a relationship with a neighbor (Luke Kirby), that continues to ignite while she decides if she is willing take the next step. Williams is terrific, but the revelation is rogan who pares back his goofball persona to deliver some real pathos.

Sarah Silverman is also excellent in a key supporting role. actress Jennifer Westfeldt makes her debut as writer-director with a sharp new Yorkbased romantic drama, Friends With Kids, featuring a great cast — Westfeldt, adam Scott, Jon hamm, Maya rudolph, Kristen Wiig, Megan Fox, edward Burns — and a storyline that deliver a romantic dance without relying on the clichés of the genre. another film that avoids obvious choices in a good way is Ten Year, about a high-school reunion featuring a great cast including Channing tatum, rosario dawson, Justin Long, Kate Mara and oscar issac, and written and directed by Jamie Linden (screenwriter of We Are Marshall and Dear John). in what has been an excellent festival to date, two more gems are the sweet and tart film by Finnish superstar director aki Kaurismaki, Le Havre, about a crusty old Frenchman who helps a young black illegal immigrant evade the police with the help of his friends and neighbors in the port town of the title, and the drama from the awardwinning brothers from Belgium, Jean-Pierre and Luc dardenne, The Kid With a Bike. a boy filled with rage about the father who has abandoned him finds love and compassion from a kind stranger, a woman who takes a chance on him. n

oronto — When Brad Pitt and George Clooney are in hollywood north to promote movies, the media blitz hits the frenzy button and rarely dies down. and so it was on the opening weekend of the toronto international Film Festival with Pitt in town to promote the baseball movie Moneyball, and Clooney whipping up support for the political drama he directed, The Ides of March, and the family-in-crisis drama from director alexander Payne, The Descendants. i enjoyed Moneyball, directed by Bennett Miller (Capote) which is very much about baseball, but is also about our expectations in life and what happens when those hopes and dreams are crushed by reality.

George Clooney’s efforts get mixed reviews. his directorial effort, The Ides of March, is a clichéridden effort starring ryan Gosling and pales in comparison to even a so-so episode of The West Wing. the film reveals that most politicians and their handlers are soul‘The Descendants’ less assholes. is that revelation supposed to shock us?

Better news comes with The Descendants, featuring the same subtle wit and interesting character dynamics that were featured in other Payne films including Election and Sideways. Clooney is the head of a famous family in hawaii who is juggling the sale of a huge parcel of land while dealing with a family tragedy. he isn’t sure how to handle his two daughters when their mother is hospitalized after a serious boating accident. the family is forced to learn and grow together, and Clooney is wonderful in the role.

The Artist is a delightful black & white film about the era of silent movies when the talking picture came along and took over. it has been done as a non-dialogue movie (there is music, including Bernard herrmann’s magnificent love theme from Vertigo), and stars the best actor winner from Cannes, Jean dujardin, as a hammy silent film star, George Valentin. he should be in the oscar talk, and his dog co-star should be given a special dogshaped oscar for supporting actor. the film is from writer-director Michel hazanavicius. relationship movies are first rate at this
