Messengers Tribute at Chelsea Feb. 16The Jazz Corner series at the Chelsea’s posh Living Room will honor the legacy of the late and beloved musician Art Blakey during its next evening of live jazz on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 6-10pm. Blakey, who lived in Northfield for several years with his long-time love Sandy Warren — who helped raise Blakey’s son Takashi in both the Northfield and Ocean City school systems — was a huge fan of Atlantic City, often popping into the many jazz clubs that used to exist in the resort. He was also a man who loved his food. The many recipes he and Warren created over the years have recently been released in Warren’s new book Art Blakey Cookin’ and Jammin’ — Recipes and Remembrances from a Jazz Life. The culinary memoir also recounts Warren and Blakey’s relationship together. Warren will have copies of the book on hand at the event and will sign them during the evening’s 6-7pm happy hour. Proceeds from the sale of the book go to musician charities in New Orleans. Following that, the Hassan Abdullah Quintet will perform, highlighting both the music of Blakey, and also of his band/jazz training camp, The Jazz Messengers, a group that Blakey led for decades up until his death in 1990. With an assortment of revolving young talented players, many of whom would become some of the biggest names in jazz, the Messengers also included the late bassist Charles Fambrough, who died of heart failure on New Year’s Day 2011. He will also be honored musically. As well as a teacher himself, Fambrough was a constant force in the former jazz clubs of Philadelphia and Atlantic City and performed more than once at the Cape May Jazz Festival. In March 2007, he headlined the Somers Point Jazz Society’s Jazz @ The Point festival, which honored Art Blakey that year. Fambrough also per-formed in the Chicken Bone Beach Historical Foundation’s annual summer Jazz on the Beach series in Atlantic City. According to Henrietta Shelton, of the foundation and co-creator of the Jazz Corner series, Fambrough played a huge part in getting the summer jazz series off the ground and spreading the word to fellow musicians that they should be a part of it. “He helped get more artists involved and played early on in the series,” recalls Warren, of Atlantic City. “He was playing with the Messengers at a time when he was living just on the New Jersey side of Philadelphia. It’s great that Hassan will be highlighting his music and Art’s because he is a walking file of not only music, but jazz history. We couldn’t have a better person doing it.” Wednesday’s event, says Warren, is something that Blakey would have enjoyed. “It’s something he would have wanted me to do because he loved living down here so much and raising Takashi down here, and just running around Atlantic City and the whole area. He was friends with all of the local musicians and this is just something he would have said, ‘Yes do this,’ so I’m looking forward to it.” Following this Black History Program event, the Jazz Corner series will continue through March. A donation of $10 is requested at each show. “I wanted to do something really meaningful during Black History Month,” says Warren, who is in the midst of beginning to shop her book around the world, “and this seemed to be the right thing. I’m honored to be a part of this night with Hassan and Henrietta. It’s very exciting.” Find an updated schedule for the Jazz Corner series at chickenbonebeach.org. The series is for those 21 and older. Also, check out cookinandjammin.com. — JS

Hot Tuna, Musselwhite at Stockton’s PACCharlie Musselwhite, one of the top blues harmonica players of all time, appears at Stockton’s PAC on Monday, Feb. 14, along with the folk-rock-blues outfit Hot Tuna’s Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Cassidy, and Jim Lauderdale ($25, 7:30pm, Stockton.edu/pac). Musselwhite, who watched and listened to blues legends such as Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter in person at nightclubs while growing up in Chicago, eventually headed to California where he would begin his own recording career in the 1960s. Since that time he’s released 30 of his own albums, several of them hits on the blues charts, and has played with countless perform-ers. His latest release, The Well, earned him five 2011 Blues Music Awards and has been heralded by critics from across the country. The Well is a powerful record, with deft harp playing, of course, personal lyrics sung in Musselwhite’s quirky Mose Allison-esque voice, and a top-notch band. His tour with Hot Tuna, which began last month, wraps up in March. “We’ve all been friends for many years,” Musselwhite tells AC Weekly, “but we never really got the chance to work together. ... We have so much fun up there on stage that the audience can’t help but to have fun. It’s a great show and really a good time.” There will be two sets. The first will be a semi-acoustic, “sit-down” set, during which all of the musicians will appear. “Then during the second set, we crank it up, and rock it up and blues it up and it’s more electrified.” (See a Web exclusive Q&A with Musselwhite at acweekly.com) — Jeff Schwachter



add to web version in middle-end:

Along with the delicious-looking recipes, there are some great rare photos of Blakey in the book. The cover shot was taken in Smithville in the late 1970s and pictures Blakey with his son Takashi. The photo originally appeared on the cover of Blakey’s album Gypsy Folk Tales.

add to web in middle:

He’s also kicked a drinking problem — he hasn’t had a drink since the late 1980s — and has played with countless musi-cians around the world and on recordings

Blanche Is BackWell known in the Atlantic City area as the ‘singing bartender,’ Blanche Morro is also a master of multi-tasking. By Ray Schweibert

HEADLINERS

HEADLINERS



IF YOUR MULTI-TASKING ABILITIES DON’T extend much beyond walking and talking at the same time, your first reaction may be envy if you

stop by Resorts’ perpetually open 25 Hours lounge and see what Blanche Morro can do.

But stick around awhile and envy will likely morph into admiration, as Morro sings her way through her shift — with a voice Resorts president Dennis Gomes praises as “angelic” — all the while mixing drinks and making change for her customers.

An EHT resident, Morro has had a diversified career thus far, working as a wedding photographer and in various roles in the hospitality and retail fields. But it was at the Chelsea Pub during the mid-1990s that she found she could combine her love of singing with her vocation as a mixologist, reading customers’ lips to take their orders. A casino executive working under then

Tropicana CEO Gomes recognized her special blend of skills, and after seeing her himself, Gomes hired her to sing/bartend at a bar bestowed with her name inside what was then the Trop’s Tiffany Lounge.

The Tropicana run lasted seven years (1998-2005), and about five years later, with Gomes and financial partner Morris Bailey at the helm of Resorts, Morro is back in Atlantic City as the bartending balladeer, appear-ing every Tuesday through Saturday from 4-10pm at Resorts’ 25 Hours lounge.

“Since I left Tropicana I’d seen Dennis at the various places where I’ve worked, or just out in public, and every time I’d see him he’d say, ‘You know, when I get back into Atlantic City, you’re back,’” says Morro, who has recorded two CDs, each of which includes duets with her daughter, Ashlie. “I’m not the kind of person who would hold somebody to that without knowing what the future brings, but he was literally very adamant about the fact that he was getting back into Atlantic City, and I was going to be back wherever he was.”

Gomes proved good to his word.“I’m telling you, the day after he found out he was

purchasing Resorts was when I got a phone call, and he literally said, ‘I told you this was going to happen,’” says Morro. “I thought he was kidding me.”

In the roughly two months since her Resorts gig began (Dec. 7), Morro has already had ancillary oppor-tunities crop up, including a possible role in a musical that a producer may bring to town.

“Ever since I started, good things have happened,” she says. “Somebody was in the lounge, drinking

soda and making song requests, and I found out he was a show producer who is considering bringing an off-Broadway show to Atlantic City. He told me, ‘That was a hell of an audition.’ I said audition? I didn’t even know I was auditioning.”

As has been well documented, Gomes is theming Resorts in a 1920s motif sugges-tive of Boardwalk Empire, which will include bartenders, bellhops, cocktail servers and other employees dressed in period-apropos costumes (including the “flapper” look of the 1920s, which debuted during AC Weekly’s Nightlife Awards party at Resorts’ Boogie Nights on Jan. 27). It will also extend to such things as period-appropriate cocktails served and entertainment provided, and Morro has already begun including more music from the Nucky Johnson era into her song repertoire.

“The ’20s thing is something that we’re adding and I’m excited about it, because it makes people’s heads turn,” says Morro. “When they hear me singing a song from back then, it automatically invokes romance and sentimentality, and people are really responding to it.

“I was apprised of the new format before I started, and I already knew many songs from that era from having done a big-band show at Trump Marina years ago. But it’s not like I do a whole set of ’20s music — it’s that I’ve been adding a couple of ’20s songs here and there so I can get up to speed once the new theme is fully imple-mented. And once it is, it’s going to be awesome.

“I think if Dennis can maintain the level of customer service that he expected when I worked at Tropicana, and if everything goes as well as expected and this economy is cooperative, I think it’s going to be great,” she adds. “Some people seem to want to fall back on the old standards instead of seeing new potential. Me? I’ve always been a glass-half-full kind of person.”

Benatar’s LovesBy David J. Spatz

see more online @

HEADLINERS

HEADLINERS



YES, PAT BENATAR CANDIDLY admitted in her 2010 autobiography Between a Heart and a Rock Place, there

was a lot of sex and drugs when she was a touring rock ‘n’ roll road warrior more than a quarter-century ago.

The difference, though, was that the sex she enjoyed wasn’t with random guys she’d pick up after a show, it was with another musician — her husband, guitar-ist Neil “Spyder” Giraldo.

And the drugs? There were moments when Benatar probably thought she was the only person in the music business who didn’t have a coke spoon dangling from a gold chain around her neck.

“I was too busy running around doing good stuff and it wasn’t my thing,” the singer told the Web site popeater.com last May. “Believe me, everyone else was doing it. I was watching them being idi-ots. I just got used to it. I would stand around as the designated non-drug user.”

With platinum albums spinning off Top

10 singles like “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and “Love Is a Battlefield,” Benatar became both a sex symbol and a music icon during the 1980s. She laid it all on the line in her book, which is as much a valen-tine to her husband as it is confessional.

Benatar and Giraldo met in 1979, not long after her first marriage ended in divorce. Sparks flew the moment Giraldo walked into the room where the singer was assembling her first band.

“When he walked in the door and I saw him, besides all the fabulous chemical and physical attributes, musically it was per-fect,” Benatar said during a 2010 appear-ance on The Today Show. “It was exactly what I had been hearing in my head. He was the one who was the catalyst, he was able to help me bring it all together, so we began the whole thing together.”

Benatar and Giraldo were married three years later. In spite of the high failure rate with show business marriages, Benatar and Giraldo remain one of the rare excep-tions to the rule.

But the stability in her personal life didn’t carry over to her career. Like many female performers in contemporary

music, she had to battle rampant sexism at the hands of record promoters and radio station programmers, she said.

And when she became pregnant in 1984, she was warned to hide her condition from the public for fear of wrecking her image.

“This is incredibly hard to believe for people today to understand, especially since [pregnancy] seems to be a prerequisite for celebrity right now,” she said. “But to actu-ally be pregnant, it ruined the whole sex-symbol image. It was just one thing of a long list of sexist things they did to [women].”

There were several reasons why Benatar was able to overcome the obstacles in her career path. Not only was she selling millions of singles and albums, but she was also in the vanguard of the fledgling music video industry.

Benatar’s song “You Better Run” is a footnote to history because it was the second video played on MTV.

Benatar attributes her survival in the business to her childhood growing up on Long Island.

“We came from a working-class family and you were just scrapping all the time,” said Benatar, who headlines Saturday, Feb. 12, at the House of Blues at Showboat in Atlantic City. “[You] kind of had to fight for your position all the time.”

So she endured — but never submitted to — the blatant sexual advances of radio executives, who called her into their offices, patted their knee and asked her to sit down with the implication that her “cooperation” would result in airplay for her music.

Benatar may have been a sex symbol, but she was also something of a feminist.

“My age group was basically the first of the young women who were going to try to put the ideology of the women’s move-ment into practice,” Benatar, 58, said.

Looking at today’s crop of women in pop music, Benatar has her favorites.

“I love Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. I think Gaga’s pushing the envelope every day and I really like that,” she said. “Beyonce is doing a real service to girls everywhere by being so classy, and then there’s also Sheryl Crow.”

THE BORGATA WINTER OPEN is in the books and has crowned a new champion, Vadim Shlez of

Brooklyn, N.Y. You may not have heard of Shlez as

this was the biggest cash on his about six-year resume at $533,210. He has had some cashes before at the World Series of Poker in Vegas, but he’ll always remem-ber Atlantic City as the site of his first real huge cash.

“I don’t know how I’m talking right now, I’m kind of speechless,” Shlez told The Borgata’s tourney blog. “It means a lot, but I don’t know what it means yet because it hasn’t sunk in yet.”

And making things even more memora-ble is the fact that Shlez was shortstacked early at the championship final table, and had to fight his way back for the win.

According to the Borgata, Shlez was able to overcome a final table short stack of just 11 big blinds, while the final four players traded chips for more than four hours. The key hand came when Trevor Savage (Thorofare, N.J.) moved all in with 5, 3 off suit, but ran into Shlez’s pocket kings.

“I don’t know how I came back,” said the Ukraine-born player. “At that point it seemed dim, but I never lost confidence in my decisions and in myself.”

On the final hand, Shlez made short work of LJ Sande of New Haven, Conn, who wins $310,273. By the time he was heads-up with Sande, Shlez had built a 4 to 1 chip margin.

Shlez hit an ace on the flop, giving him a pair, which held up through the board.

“He’s an amazing player,” said Sande, who earned $310,273 for second place. “He made excellent reads and all the right plays. The chip deficit was just too hard to overcome.”

Shlez also got some attention for his lucky card protector, a hunk of Siberian rock his girlfriend gave him.

“When we first met I told her about poker and how I needed some valuable thing to serve as a card protector. This rock was important to her right before that and it symbolizes our relationship and is more than a card protector.”

Shlez says he had already made plans to move to Vegas. Ironically, his A.C. money should make it a much easier move.

The championship ended a pretty suc-cessful open for the Borgata. As we’ve said before, the Borgata runs four season-al opens each year including the Borgata Open in September.

Since the Winter Open is in the off-season, expectations can’t be as high, but still the casino managed to attract thou-sands of players to the city.

Some of the known pros in atten-dance included Vanessa Selbst, Steve Dannenmann, Gavin Smith, Dwyte Pilgrim and some other A.C. favorites. With the exception of Selbst, most of these guys turn out pretty regularly for Borgata tournaments. It’s still the Borgata Open in September, the casino’s premier event and a World Poker Tour stop, that brings out the big guns.

Still, there’s a lot of opportunity for amateurs and young pros to taste the big time at the Winter Open. Only Dannenmann broke through with an event win, as amateurs scored several.

The open also drew respectable crowds, from the 718 players who played the $3,500 championship to the 1,472 that played the opening event. Neither was a record field, though the opening event had a record total buy-in thanks to a higher than usual buy-in.

Also, a few lower buy-in tournaments attracted truly impressive fields. A $170 + $30 event early in the open attracted 1,292 players while another $170 + $30 event later in the open, and after the champion-ship event began, attracted 629 entries and more than a $100,000 prize pool.

There’s also something to be said for the Borgata’s string of secondary events, usually with later starting times and lower buy-ins. They keep the casinos room humming throughout the day.

Sadly, with the open over, nothing out of the ordinary is scheduled in the city until the WSOP circuit event at Caesars Atlantic City in March. The 13-tourna-ment event runs March 2-13.

Unlike Harrah’s Resort’s WSOP event in December 2010, this circuit event does not include a $10,000 regional champi-onship event. The championship event for the meet is a $1,500 + $150 No Limit tournament March 11.

Until then, there’s just the city’s regu-lar action. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

FO R T H O S E W H O M A Y H A V E missed me at a few of the events I’ve attended recently, here are

some thoughts — and some personal invitations.

Lauryn Hill at The House of Blues (a preview to this event appears in the Jan. 27 AC Weekly) — This was like pre-season football. Basically people paid full price to see a warm up when Hill, after about a decade since her last tour, appeared onstage about three hours after doors opened. (See my review at acweekly.com)

The ‘acweekly.com’ Reader’s Choice Nightlife Awards — I had the pleasure of presenting two awards this year. I had fun and I ran into my old ... or should I say my previous boss, Sherry Amos, who is now vice president of marketing at Resorts. Also, here’s a shout-out to new Atlantic City Weekly marketing manager Shari Pearl, who I had the pleasure of meeting at the party. My favorite part of the party? The Michael Jackson impersonator doing “Billie Jean.”

The Battle By The Bay — Some peo-ple erroneously think of the first Sunday in February as Super Bowl Sunday. Atlantic City and Pleasantville residents know that February’s first Sunday caps the Battle By The Bay weekend — a basketball series that started in 1994 and annually features some of the top teams in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Sunday’s “Main Event” was the Atlantic City Vikings taking on the Pleasantville Greyhounds on the hard court, and it did not disappoint. A.C. pulled out a thrilling, come-from-behind 69-67 win. A young lady from Pleasantville High School, Nyaeishika Coward, sang an amazing version of the “Star Spangled Banner” (the same could not be said for the half-time talent in Dallas that evening). I was proud to see mayors Lorenzo Langford of A.C. and Jesse Tweedle of Pleasantville meet at center court and shake hands, and then greet each other’s teams as the announcer blared, “Atlantic City and Pleasantville — two cities but one family.” I was glad Atlantic City won the game, but the Battle By The Bay is always more about spending great time with friends and fam-ily, and less about the game.

Atlantic City Tourism Thursdays at Il Mulino Restaurant at Taj Mahal — Each Thursday there is a business mixer

to promote A.C. Tourism from 5-7pm at the beautiful Il Mulino Restaurant at the Taj. The suggested donation is $20 per person. The mixer provides a great venue to make connections and to promote your upcoming event.

The South Jersey Arts Exchange at Pistol Pete’s Sports Saloon — Every Wednesday starting at 7pm, the Alternative Soul and Teen Voices radio shows on 96.1 FM WTTH “The Touch” and I invite you to come out to Pistol Pete’s in Pleasantville for a dynamic evening of music, comedy, poetry and more each week. The events are free to all, and all ages are welcome.

From 7-8pm is the South Jersey Writers Group, and the main program, an open mike, starts between 8 and 8:30pm. We have artists who come and display their work, and I am also looking for artists who would like to paint, draw or create live as the event unfolds.

The first Wednesday of each month we have a business mixer for the South Jersey Arts Exchange. On Feb. 2, Winnie Anderson visited and led a discussion on “Untangling the Web.” Anderson explained how and why businesses need the Internet. Also, Daryl Scott of “The Entrepreneurial Think Tank” gave the Businessman of the Year award to Malachi Washington, owner of Malachi’s Heavy Truck Repair.

On the third Wednesday of each month, the Alternative Soul and Teen Voices shows recognize the “Outstanding Personalities of the Month.” If you know someone who is an outstanding youth, teen or adult, you can tell me about them by e-mailing me at [email protected]. So each week, please join me at Pistol Pete’s and meet all kinds of great artists who come to share.

Well, that’s where I’ve been and where I will be. Feel free to invite me to your events via the Web at [email protected], and I’ll do my best to be there!


Raymond Tyler hosts the Alternative Soul Sunday Breakfast Club radio show each Sunday from 7–8am on 96.1FM WTTH - The Touch.

A Really Big Wedding DayThe Valentine’s Day Group Wedding, Vow Renewal and Civil Union Ceremony returns to Boardwalk Hall.By Michael Pritchard

F E A T U R E

see more online @

HEADLINERS

HEADLINERS



THERE’S A VISION SOME PEOPLE HAVE OF their wedding day — a carefully choreographed mixture of ostentatious elegance, steeped in

tradition, the bride on a solo pedestal and filled with flamboyant touches such as dove releases.

So proper. So refined.And then there are the people who look at that oh

so carefully planned type of wedding and ask a simple question: Where’s the fun in that?

Instead, they are ready to join a crowd of a couple hundred strangers at Atlantic City’s historic Boardwalk Hall on Valentine’s Day — all decked out in their own personal style — and tie the knot in one massive marital group hug.

Strangers? Hey, now we’re all anniversary buddies.Loretta Howard, of Galloway Township, is one of

those people. She’ll be out in force with the nuptial seekers, not to mention vow renewers, when they descend on the hall Monday, Feb. 14, for the now annual Valentine’s Day Group Wedding, Vow Renewal and Civil Union Ceremony.

“I saw a story about it in the paper first, but as I was reading it, I just started thinking that it would be fun,” says Howard. “And not only just because it would be fun to be part of such a large group of people, It would also be a part of Atlantic City’s history. To be part of this tradition in Atlantic City.”

Of course weddings involve input from two people (well, in theory) and Howard had to bounce the idea off her fiancé Vernon Helper. Turns out he likes really big weddings too.

“When I mentioned it to Vernon, he was like, ‘Yeah sure let’s do it.’ He was very excited by the idea,” she says. “And you know, it’s also very cost effective for us [as the ceremony is free]. Afterwards we’re going to take advan-tage of some of the packages available at Trump Plaza. We’ll have a suite and we’ll have a champagne toast with friends and relatives. It should just be a lovely time.”

And that’s the point says Jean Muchanic, executive director of Absecon Lighthouse, who performs the ceremony. Yes, Muchanic is a minister and licensed to perform marriages.

“It’s a totally festive crowd,” says Muchanic, now in her third year as the marrying agent. “It may be a group wedding, but they make it their own special day. Each couple brings their friends and their own styles.”

And that crowd grows each year, from 50 to 60 the first year to an expected 115-plus couples this year.

The event includes couples getting married, but also cou-ples seeking to renew their vows. It draws a diverse crowd.

“I have women in traditional wedding gowns to couples in matching pajamas,” explains Muchanic. “And it runs the gamut for ages and professions. I have young couples just starting out and seniors renewing years of marriage.”

You might be asking why a lighthouse director can conduct marriages. The answer is that year-round, cou-

ples ask to make the lighthouse their wedding spot. “So many people came up to me, and they loved the

view and the setting and they said, ‘How can we get married here?’” Muchanic says. “It got to a point that I just said, ‘I’ve got to do something to help these people get married.’”

So Muchanic became a minister through a ministry she found on the internet; Rose Ministries.

“There are several, of course, but this group really looks to find women to become wedding officials,” Muchanic says. “There just aren’t that many.”

It also allows for a busy Valentine’s Day for Muchanic as the lighthouse also has a holiday event where she’ll be performing a group vow renewal ceremony. Called “An Evening of Romance & Renewal” at the lighthouse, the event includes romantic climbs of the lighthouse complete with, ahem, aphrodisiacs, hors d’oeuvres and food, dancing and other events including the renewal.

“What can I say,” says Muchanic. “It’s a day filled with love and renewal. What could be better?”

Indeed, for participants like Howard, who is getting married for the first time, she expects to make some friends and memories at once.

“I do think that we’ll meet a lot of couples there,” she says. “Maybe, if they don’t have too many plans, they can join us for the toast and we’ll make some friends. I just see the whole experience as being a really fun way to get married.”

And really, who needs dove releases anyway?For information on the group wedding go to atlanticcitynj.

because the ceremony is free.’

Romantic V-Day OptionsBy Whitney Ullman

VA L E N T I N E ’ S D A Y I S R I G H T around the corner and I know you’re probably trying to think of

something creative to give your honey. Locally there are many holiday specials, in fact too many for me to fit in this column, but below are a few fun ways to keep the sparks going.

If you are already married, why not renew your vows? Sign up for the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority’s annual free, non-denominational group wedding, civil union and vow-renewal cer-emony at Boardwalk Hall — on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) at 2pm; registration closes on Feb. 10. The Absecon Lighthouse also has an evening of romance and renewal on Valentine’s Day. To find out more, visit abseconlighthouse.org.

Of course, before you go through another wedding you may want to give yourselves a little pampering, so you have a few choices. Bellezza Salons, inside Bally’s and Caesars Atlantic City, are hosting Champagne & Roses — Couples Pedicure. Enjoy a deli-cious and fragrant treatment inspired by the fruit of the vine. This includes gently removing dead skin and then envelop-ing your feet in a rich butter cream that contains shea butter, grape seed oil and vitamins A, C, D and E for softer, silkier, smoother skin. You will receive a one-hour pedicure along with strawberry bever-ages, and sample product bags for his and her. Treat yourself and someone special to this wonderful Valentine’s gift. Check their Web site salonsbellezza.com.

Another great salon gift for the man or woman in your life is from ART IS... Salon in Brigantine, which is having a special from now until Valentine’s Day. If you pur-chase a $30 gift certificate you will receive a $10 Art Is... gift card for free. Visit artis-salon.com.

OK, so you got all pampered, renewed your vows, but you have to stay in Atlantic City in order to get away from the monot-ony of being home. Of course, every hotel has their specials. Bally’s has a package called “Romance in the West,” which, for $145, includes overnight accommodations, a dinner for two, access to the spa and relaxation facilities, breakfast in bed and a

late checkout. Visit ballysac.com. Resorts Casino Hotel wins for the most

unique package of them all. Starting with the “Proposal Package,” which entitles you to many hotel amenities including a dia-mond ring worth $7,500, a serenade by Blanche “The Singing Bartender” (see p.10) and transportation in a 1920s-style limo to name a few — all for a mere $10,000. Or maybe the “Going to the Boogie Chapel Wedding Package” tickles your fancy. This groovy ceremony at Boogie Nights will surely be a night to remember for your guests. With an open bar, celebrity impersonators, a hotel room, salon credits, champagne, cake, and so much more, you can’t go wrong for $25,000. As they say, “Get married or renew your vows under a disco ball — only at Resorts!”

Of course, there are plenty of other too-cool sounding packages at Resorts that are in the more modest price ranges, like the “Romance with a Groove” ($269 Fri. or Sat.), the “Thank You Daddy” ($499 Sun.-Thurs.; $549 Fri.-Sat.), and the funniest of them all, “The Mistress” ($269 Sun.-Thurs.; $319 Fri.-Sat.). Visit resortsac.com.

To share a few laughs with each other, head out to see Kozak the Magician, who will be performing at 6pm as he does every night at the Comedy Stop Café & Cabaret inside The Quarter at the Tropicana. Plus, there is even a dinner show package avail-able. Go to comedystop.com.

But for those of you who prefer stay-ing home and relaxing, the Atlantic Cape Community College’s Academy of the Culinary Arts shares with you romantic and affordable recipes that you can make at home for your sweetheart. Dishes include pan-seared scallops with spicy corn cakes, braised short ribs with noodles, and a choc-olate ganache dessert. For a detailed recipe, check out atlantic.edu/aca.

I hope that you all have a loving, peace-ful, and romantic Valentine’s Day!

Dishing out advice on var-ious topics to our read-ers on issues related to networking, dating, em-ployment, news, events, shopping and much more. She is the current presi-dent of the Greater Atlantic City Jaycees and owner of www.GoToWhitney.com.

ENGLISH TEACHER TURIYA S.A. Raheem, who returned home to Atlantic City in 2008, is the author

of Growing Up in the Other Atlantic City: Wash’s and the Northside (Xlibris, $19.99 paperback, available at amazon.com), a look back at her life growing up in Atlantic City and the history of her fam-ily, which includes her grandparents, Clifton and Alma Washington, who owned Wash’s sandwich shop (opened in 1937) on Kentucky Avenue. It is one of the few books focusing on the city’s black community written by someone from within the community. As interest in A.C.’s history is at a high point, we talked to Raheem recently.

Your book has been out more than a year, but since the premiere of Boardwalk Empire there’s been an explosion of interest in Atlantic City’s past and the city’s historic black com-munity. What’s been your reaction to that?It’s been very weird. When I decided to self-publish my book in Dec. 2009, I did it because an agent in New York told me — and this is pre-Obama — that nobody’s interested in black history now. I said, ‘What?’ And she said, ‘Nobody is interested. That’s just the truth.’ Then, I think it was in April, HBO calls me. And I knew they were working on something and I had read Boardwalk Empire myself while researching [my] book. And they said, ‘You know, we’re doing all this research and we know there’s this huge black community in Atlantic City. But we just can’t find anything on that. Can we send a limo to bring you up for an inter-view?’ I didn’t believe them at first, but

I go up there with other A.C. historians. ... So then everything gets to be about Boardwalk Empire. And that blows up over the summer and I’m going to the pre-miere and the parties. It was amazing.

Why did you decide to go ahead with the book?Vicki Gold-Levi was very supportive. She had been saying to me, ‘You have a story to tell. Tell your story. Publish it anyway you can. Because it’s just such a great story to tell and nobody from inside the community has written anything.’ And I said it just drives me crazy to go into bookstores and you find all these books on Atlantic City — but maybe they have a few pages, or 15 pages on the black community, if that. And I’m like, we built this city. This city wouldn’t have been what it was in its heyday had it not been for the black community.

Looking back on the days of segregation in the city, do you think that the story of the black community isn’t often told because those who lived through those times still have some bitterness towards the era. I don’t think so, because while yes, it was segregated, it was also a wonderful com-munity and place to live. The Atlantic City that I grew up in the 1960s and early ’70s, that’s the place that I remember. ... One of the reasons I came back to the city (she raised her family in Washington D.C.), was those memories. And even though it was segregated, it wasn’t the type of segregation — and this may have been different for the older people in my family — but my generation didn’t have to deal with the hostilities of segregation.

My generation was the one where we had this strong, loving, tight-knit community behind us.

Did the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s start to spill over into the community? Oh yes. It seemed that we were having race riots everyday in the high school. And sometimes, we didn’t even know what we were fighting about. We wanted to be part of the movement. Whatever the movement was, it was in the air and we wanted to be a part of it. But to join a lot of those organizations in the move-ment, you had to be 18. And we were like 16 and 17. But it got to the point that we were having problems every day until they had to have police minding the halls. And they would shut the school down and there would be crazy bomb threats. But there were also some legitimate things we could be part of as student leaders. We got to sit in on plans to introduce more black history into the school.

Whenever people reminisce about the old Atlantic City, there seems to be such great

affection for it. Why does this city’s past bring out so much love?I feel the same way and I just don’t know what it is. I think its because the city just has this weird combination. ... How many places do you know like Atlantic City? It’s a small town where you can walk everywhere. And we always joke in the black community: ‘Watch who you marry, because everyone’s related’; it’s so tiny. But you also have a beach resort. I can walk to the beach from my house. And then it’s urban. And there’s always been this great entertainment in the city. It’s just a very unique and exciting place. It gets to you.

Are you prepared to explore the finest foods, and restaurants, our region has to offer?

We hope so, because atlantic City restaurant Week — presented by the atlantic City Convention & Visitors authority (aCCVa) — looms just ahead on the calendar.

the event kicks off with a sold-out VIp preview on tuesday, Feb. 22, at the atlantic City Country Club in Northfield.

two hundred lucky ticket holders will be feted with a sample tasting menu from a dozen participating restaurants.

as for the rest of us, the real fun begins Sunday, Feb. 27.

From that day through Saturday, March 5, more than 70 atlantic County eateries will be serving their three-course, prix-fixe menus, as part of atlantic City’s annual restaurant Week.

priced at $15.11 for lunch, and $33.11 for dinner, these represent some of the biggest-bang-for-your-buck values to be found anywhere.

the most noticeable change in 2011, from our perspective, is the way local chefs seem to have risen to the challenge.

With restaurant Week poised to enter its third campaign, there appears to be a heightened level of competition.

the result?Creative, inspired menus featuring ingre-

dients one doesn’t always expect to find.particularly at these modest price points.Having said that, here are some guide-

lines, general information and opinions

designed to assist in planning your dining.let’s start with lunch.More than three dozen restaurants

will include the $15.11 midday deal, although we would strongly suggest con-tacting individual participants prior to venturing out.

they include: atlantic City’s 6ix a Bistro at Bally’s, angelo’s Fairmount tavern, Blue Water Grille, Buddakan, Carmine’s, the Continental, evo at trump plaza, Girasole, Il Mulino/trattoria Il Mulino at trump taj Mahal, Knife and Fork (Friday only), los amigos, McCormick and Schmick’s at Harrah’s, Noodles of the World at Borgata, ono, pan-asian Bistro (Sunday only), phillips Seafood, plate american Cafe at taj Mahal, redding’s, reflections Cafe, teplitzky’s at the Chelsea, the Cafe at trump Marina, the Melting pot, the Metropolitan at Borgata and the tun tavern.

outside atlantic City itself: Margate’s Manna and Johnny’s Cafe, the aforemen-tioned atlantic City Country Club, egg Harbor township’s touch of Italy, east Bay Crab and Grill, Harbor pines Golf Club and pistol pete’s Steakhouse and Saloon.

other participants include the Smithville Inn and Fred and ethel’s in Smithville, Galloway township’s ram’s Head Inn, egg Harbor CIty’s Joseph’s tuscany House at renault Golf resort, Brigantine’s laguna Grill and Mays landing’s Inn at Sugar Hill (Friday only.)

among the inspired midday offerings are porcini mushroom ravioli with cham-pagne cream sauce and truffles at the taj

Mahal’s Il Mulino New york; a half pound Black angus burger with cilantro pesto, provolone cheese and roasted peppers from a.C.’s only brewpub, the tun tavern; thai chicken salad, a Bento box and Zen-ful donuts at Buddakan; grilled mahi-mahi with thai curry sauce and coconut almond rice from fellow pier Shops at Caesars dweller phillips Seafood; jumbo lump crab, fennel and tomato risotto (a personal favorite) courtesy of Margate’s Manna and copper kettle chicken pot pie at Galloway’s timeless ram’s Head Inn.

perhaps the most dynamic promotion of the week comes from the Hilton’s ono. the pretty, oceanfront facility will serve a spectacular Sunday-only brunch. among the choices you can anticipate are shrimp, clams and oysters, smoked salmon, sushi, pasta omelet and carving stations plus an array of exotic, pacific-rim desserts.

For your evening’s enjoyment, the selections are even more diverse.

like pan-seared scallops set atop a saute of shaved Brussels sprouts and shiitake mushrooms with an apple cider gastrique plus truffled potato croquettes from lisa Savage’s Sage in Ventnor.

or a lemon/thyme seared Hawaiian shutome (swordfish) with rock shrimp risot-to, grilled long stem artichokes and black olive tapenade at Bally’s the reserve.

How about Wolfgang puck’s american Grille, plating up a mesquite grilled ribeye with tuscan-style potatoes and armagnac-peppercorn sauce?

Fellow Borgata resident SeaBlue, a sea-

food emporium, stretches to present a classic filet “rossini,” rich with indulgent foie gras and pinot noir reduction.

Italian aficionados should consult Harrah’s resort’s polistina’s for tagliolini all’ amalfitana — house-made noodles with jumbo shrimp, heirloom grape toma-toes and wild arugula, plus a spectacular sounding dessert, nocciolata con gelato al caffe; chocolate Frangelico sponge cake layers bound by nutella cream served with coffee gelato.

among the eye-catching seafood options is a roasted halibut chop with garlic spinach, saffron potatoes and lob-ster Bordelaise sauce at Nero’s Grill inside Caesars atlantic City.

another is from egg Harbor City’s Joseph’s restaurant, part of the renault Golf and Winery complex. their kitchen will serve grilled Scottish salmon — consid-ered by most chefs to be the world’s finest — with black garlic aioli, field mushrooms, warm pancetta vinaigrette and risotto.

elegant Mia at Caesars, one of atlantic City’s most dramatic dining spaces, includes a crispy durade — a white meat Mediterranean fish — with butternut squash puree, root vegetables and Vermouth butter sauce on their nightly bill of fare.

Showboat’s rib and Chophouse features an app of veal cheek ravioli and home-made farmer’s cheese, then a main of char-broiled Moroccan spiced sirloin with raz al hanout (a spice blend meaning “top of the shop” typically containing cardamon, cloves, chili, cinnamon, coriander and

cumin) sided by a cippolini onion confit.See what we meant about chefs bring-

ing their best?Jeff Vasser, president of the ACCVA,

credits staffers Maureen Siman, VP of marketing; Doreen Prinzo, manager of marketing partnerships; and Elaine Zamansky, media relations, for smoothly coordinating the 2011 event.

Prinzo is especially lauded, as Vasser tells Atlantic City Weekly that “she took the lead” working with the local restau-rant community.

Vasser adds: “There is a lot more antici-

pation from both the customer as well as the restaurants this year.”

Advance ticket sales, always a barome-ter, are “up about 15 percent” and Vasser says that customers are “much more stra-tegic in how they are going to attack.”

As for restaurateurs, “They are using this as a marketing tool, with many maintaining prices an extra week to build incremental business.”

Lindbergh’s A.C. LandingBy Tom Wilk

W A L T Z T H R O U G H T I M E

HEADLINERS

HEADLINERS



IN A SEEMINGLY COMMONPLACE scene, a small plane circled in the air over Atlantc City’s Bader Field and prepared to

land on Oct. 19, 1927.On the ground, the scene was anything

but ordinary as a sense of excitement grew. A crowd of about 5,000 craned their necks skyward for the arrival of a national hero: Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and his Spirit of St. Louis.

Five months earlier, Lindbergh had made aviation history with the first solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean, traveling from Roosevelt Field on Long Island, N.Y., to Le Bourget airport in Paris. He flew 3,610 miles in 33 hours and 30 minutes.

If that flight were a sprint, Lindbergh was now involved in a marathon. The 25-year-old aviator and his airplane were wrapping up a three-month tour that would take him to all 48 states in the union. Lindbergh would visit 92 cities, deliver 147 speeches and ride an estimated 1,290 miles in parades between July 20 and Oct. 23, 1927.

In Atlantic City, Lindbergh maneuvered his plane to a perfect landing on the rain-soaked airfield after a two-hour flight from Baltimore.

After his solitary flight over the Atlantic, Lindbergh had plenty of company at Bader Field, including Atlantic City Mayor Anthony Ruffu, Enoch “Nucky” Johnson, treasurer of Atlantic County and Republican Party boss, and a contingent of students from Atlantic City schools.

An amplification system was set up at the airport to allow Lindbergh’s remarks to be heard by all in attendance. The national tour was designed to promote the impor-tance of aviation in the United States.

“As airports are established, we need your cooperation in backing air activities, which they would bring,” Lindbergh said.

In a separate interview, he offered praise for Bader Field: “The Atlantic City airport has good possibilities, and is in an ideal location to the city proper,” Lindbergh said. “In fact, it is the best situated in that respect, I think, than any I have yet encountered.”

While a contingent of Atlantic City police officers stood guard over the Spirit of St. Louis, protecting it from anyone seeking a souvenir from the historic plane, Lindbergh left Bader Field in the mayor’s car and headed to the Ritz Carlton Hotel at Iowa Avenue and the Boardwalk for his two-night stay in the city.

His first order of business was a meal as Lindbergh ordered oyster stew, lamb chops and a club sandwich from room service at

the hotel. It was a culinary upgrade from the sandwiches and canteen water that sus-tained him on his flight to Europe.

Lindbergh, who recalled visiting Atlantic City as a boy, stayed primarily in his hotel room. He did venture out to make a few purchases at Boardwalk shops while enjoy-ing the salt air. Many of the bellhops at the hotel proudly displayed autographed photographs of the aviator.

After his arrival at Bader Field, Lindbergh’s next public appearance was a testimonial dinner at the Chelsea Hotel. About 900 people packed the assembly hall for what was the social event of the season.

A specially designed menu featured a photograph of the Spirit of St. Louis on the cover. He referred to himself and the plane as “We,” which served as the title of his book about his flight.

Ruffu and Rep. Isaac Bacharach served as the event’s opening speakers. “I see in Col. Lindbergh the type of American youth of today in whom I have great confidence,” the congressman said.

Lindbergh, who received a mayoral proclamation, was then introduced and received a standing ovation of several min-utes before he could speak.

Lindbergh again returned to the theme of his tour — aviation.

“We do not know the exact future of avia-tion, all we know is that is in a rapidly devel-oping stage and is on the way to becoming one of the chief industries,” he said.

The truth of his words would be fulfilled in the coming decades as flying became a regular occurrence, narrowing the distance between nations.

On Oct. 21, Lindbergh prepared to leave Atlantic City to conclude his national tour before his final stop at Long Island, N.Y.

Lindbergh’s future was unwritten as he spoke to reporters in an informal interview at his hotel as he contemplated the end of the tour.

“For the first time in a long while, I’ll be out of a job. I have made absolutely no plans for the future.”

Cameron’s ‘Sanctum’Gorgeous 3D images overcome a sub-standard scriptBy Lori Hoffman

HEADLINERS

HEADLINERS



James Cameron Certainly has a fascination with underwater photography, from The Abyss to his

documentaries Aliens of the Deep and Ghosts of the Abyss. now he is listed as executive producer of Sanctum, a beautifully photo-graphed 3D adventure about a group of cave divers who are trapped in one of the largest and least accessible cave systems on earth in Papua, new Guinea.

actually an independent australian film, co-writer andrew Wight, a film-maker and cave explorer who worked with Cameron on his underwater docu-mentaries, based his story on his own experience when he went cave diving and became trapped with fourteen other people for two days.

the story works quite well some of the time, focusing on the panic and fear that being trapped in such a hostile environ-ment generates. other times the dialogue tends toward the pedestrian.

However, the film works best as a bril-liant example of what 3D photography can accomplish in the right hands. in this case that means crediting two cin-ematographers, Jules o’loughlin, who did the dry sequences and some of the underwater work, and simon Christides, who is credited as the underwater direc-tor of photography. Using the cameras Cameron designed for Avatar, the under-water images explode with vibrant color. the result is a mash up of the very best imaX underwater documentaries with a disaster movie.

Veteran aussie star richard roxburgh stars as Frank, a lifelong explorer who has spent more time in caves than he has with his pissed-off-about-the-neglect teenage son Josh (rhys Wakefield). now of course the friction between the two will have to take a backseat when they must work together and try to survive. after a major storm has started flooding the cave system, they are stuck under-ground and often underwater with the man who is paying for the explora-tion, Carl (ioan Gruffudd of Fantastic Four fame), his girlfriend Victoria (alice Parkinson), who surely didn’t sign up for

this, and Frank’s long time mate and co-worker George (Dan Wyllie).

the film then becomes an often taut drama about a group of people whose chance of survival is slim. Who pan-ics first is likely to die first, and so we watch to see who loses it. although it had a totally different ambiance, the film evokes the man vs. nature vibe of 127 Hours, especially with a gross-out scene where one of the protagonists’ scalp begins to pull away from their head. at other times — when the dialogue is at its cheesiest — it reminded me of the 1972 disaster flick The Poseidon Adventure.

However, despite the lapses in dialogue, what never flagged was the magnificence of the photography and in the end, it is those breathtaking images the left the deepest impression.

Casino JackJack abramoff, the Washington super lobbyist whose greed knew no bounds, including mob connections, has local roots. He was born in atlantic City and raised in the Philadelphia area. His actions make the nucky thompson character in Boardwalk Empire look like

a rank amateur when it came to get-ting his hands on every piece of dirty money he could, from using Congress to intimidate business partners to the aforementioned mob connections. Kevin spacey has a blast playing this insanely greedy conman who even conned him-self into believing he was the world’s best power broker. Directed by the late George Hickenlooper (Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse) the film has some trouble balancing a dark comic ambiance with moments of straightfor-ward drama. the movie doesn’t always work overall, but spacey’s performance is always fascinating to watch. n
