Greetings From Atlantic City<br />
When I first started The Boardwalk Journal in late 2008, an issue like<br />
the one you are holding in your hands is what I envisioned.<br />
As a matter of fact, Donald Trump was on the cover of our very first<br />
issue back in January 2009.<br />
Here we bring you Donald Trump and Steve Wynn on this month’s<br />
cover and some very valuable gaming insight from someone who<br />
knows both men very well, Richard “Skip” Bronson, a seasoned and<br />
well respected gaming executive and author of “The War at The Shore”,<br />
a book that anyone interested in Atlantic City needs to read.<br />
We also get the opportunity in this issue to catch up with one of my<br />
favorite clients and Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga<br />
as she discusses her new book “Love Italian Style”, her new music and<br />
talks about what life is like when you are a reality TV star. She also<br />
talks about the recent headlines involving her sister in law and fellow<br />
Housewives star Teresa Giudice.<br />

The Best of The Boardwalk feature this month is Revel’s state of the art<br />
HQ Nightclub, which has quickly emerged as the city’s hottest club.<br />
mur.mur and The Pool had their time, but right now nothing beats HQ.<br />
I am also very excited to once again be featuring another few pages<br />
of The Boardwalk Journal that are dedicated to the amazing Dean<br />
Randazzo, who recently opened Jersey Devil Surf on The Boardwalk at<br />
Resorts adjacent to Margaritaville.<br />
There are a handful of self-appointed local surf gurus out there, but<br />
there is only one “Jersey Devil.”<br />
Dean was kind enough to give my daughter Grace her very first surf<br />
lesson, which is documented in photos in this issue.<br />
We don’t work off of long range editorial calendars at The Boardwalk<br />
Journal; so many times we decide our cover concepts and features on<br />
the fly.<br />
That being said, I am certain that we will do an in-depth cover story<br />
and feature on Dean in 2014.<br />
JAMES J. LEONARD JR., ESQ.<br />
We have a special Raw Feed this month dedicated exclusively to some<br />
updates on the still unsolved murder of April Kauffman, who was an<br />
avid Boardwalk Journal reader and was scheduled to be one of our Real<br />
Housewives of South Jersey back in 2011, but scheduling precluded<br />
that from happening.<br />
I get the feeling that April’s lovely daughter Kimberly, who is a clone of<br />
her mother, will soon have her voice heard as she continues her pursuit<br />
for justice to be done.<br />
I would like to acknowledge the passing of a young man named Isaac<br />
Baggs Jr. who died on Labor Day in a car accident on Route 30.<br />
While I did not know Isaac or his family, his untimely passing had a<br />
profound and humbling impact on me.<br />

politics<br />
New Jersey State Senator Barbara Buono, D-18 knows that her cause is lost.<br />
Buono's frustration has mounted and not only is she going to lose big to New Jersey<br />
Governor Christie ... she is running a very undignified campaign.<br />
In recent days Buono has resorted to attacking Christie over his handling of<br />
Superstorm Sandy.<br />
This is a very unseemly, low blow. Governor Christie's management of Superstorm<br />
Sandy relief efforts and restoration has rightfully earned him wide acclaim on a<br />
national level.<br />
Christie's leadership has been exemplary. He's consistently reached across the aisle<br />
to United States President Barack Obama and his Cabinet. Christie has worked very<br />
well in a bi-partisan manner with New Jersey Democrats.<br />
Even worse, Buono has stooped so<br />
low as to attack Christie about his<br />
weight.<br />
Both tactics are terrible. What Buono<br />
should also realize is that millions of<br />
New Jerseyans face a daily battle with<br />
the bulge. It's not only wrong to make<br />
such personal attacks, it's definitely<br />
going to backfire on her.<br />
But, what it really shows is that Buono has not been able to generate any excitement<br />
for her campaign. Christie has piled up Democratic endorsements on an almost<br />
daily basis for months.<br />
The last straw for Buono may have been when Obama came back to New Jersey and<br />
met with Christie, but, never met with Buono.<br />
The race for Governor of New Jersey features one of the most prolific candidates for<br />
re-election in our state's history versus one of the weakest challengers in our history.<br />
It's one of the worse mismatches in New Jersey history.<br />
The most distasteful Buono attack yet was her not so veiled personal attack about<br />
Christie's weight. You would have thought that Buono would have remembered<br />
how badly this played out for former Governor Jon Corzine when he played it.<br />
Corzine was losing and desperately said that Christie was "throwing his weight<br />
around," ac<strong>com</strong>panied by a very unflattering photo of Christie.<br />
This backfired on Corzine and it will also boomerang on Buono. Buono said that<br />
"the Governor frolicking on the beach in his “Stronger than the Storm” television<br />
<strong>com</strong>mercials does not make me want to go to the Shore."<br />
It was ugly, typical, desperate liberal tripe. They use "code" and lack the guts to<br />
plainly and directly say what they mean. Thereby, they feel that they have built-in<br />
plausible deniability.<br />
This is why I like Christie so much. He didn't take it. He struck right back. On<br />
by Harry Hurley, Political Editor of The Boardwalk Journal<br />
Governor Chris Christie Will Win On Nov. 5, 2013<br />
By A Wide Margin<br />
But, "It Ain't Over Until the Fat Lady Sings"<br />
Harry Hurley is Political Editor<br />
of The Boardwalk Journal. Hurley<br />
is the president of Harry Hurley<br />
Consulting and Communications,<br />
LLC. He hosts the daily talk<br />
radio program “Hurley in the<br />
Morning” 6-10 a.m. weekdays<br />
on Townsquare Media, WPG<br />
Talk Radio 1450, where he also<br />
September 3, 2013 Christie said the following at an event held at The New Jersey<br />
Institute of Technology in Newark:<br />
"It is unfortunate that Senator Buono has decided to go down the same path as<br />
Governor Corzine did in making <strong>com</strong>ments about my physical appearance," said<br />
Christie.<br />
By contrast, imagine if Christie had made a <strong>com</strong>ment about Buono's appearance.<br />
The media would go ballistic. It would have be<strong>com</strong>e a national incident in minutes.<br />
Christie had lap-band weight loss surgery earlier this year. He is noticeably lighter,<br />
although no exact number of pounds lost has been released to the public. My guess<br />
is that the Governor has lost at least 40 pounds.<br />
serves as the senior programming<br />
consultant. He has hosted various<br />
programs for local television and<br />
is the editor and publisher of<br />
his news and information<br />

Buono's a lawyer. She should have<br />
known that Christie would flip this<br />
issue on her big time. She gave him<br />
the opportunity to say, "I am very<br />
disappointed that she has decided<br />
to go down that road," said Christie.<br />
"For me and for other folks across<br />
New Jersey - many folks - who are<br />
challenged by their weight the fact<br />
that someone running for Governor<br />
would make derisive <strong>com</strong>ments about<br />
someone's physical appearance is<br />
really beneath the office that she's seeking. I'm disappointed that she's done it," said<br />
Christie.<br />
Checkmate! Vintage Christie, who adeptly can take remarks made by his opponents<br />
and wrap them right around their own necks, leaving them gasping for air and cover.<br />
Desperate candidates who are miles behind resort to desperate tactics. They almost<br />
always fall flat. This is no exception. Buono trails Christie by 20-30 points in the<br />
polls. She literally has almost zero chance to be<strong>com</strong>e New Jersey's next Governor.<br />
This despite the fact that New Jersey is one the darkest blue states in America.<br />
But, one should never presume the out<strong>com</strong>e of an election while it is still in<br />
progress.<br />
Because "It ain't over until the fat lady sings."<br />
After Buono's dirty campaign tactics, I simply couldn't resist injecting this phrase;<br />
which is an unfortunate stereotypical reference, whose origin dates back to the days<br />
of the overweight sopranos of The Grand Opera.<br />
Christie will lay a smack down of epic<br />
proportion on Tuesday, November 5,<br />
2013.<br />

by Raina Tallent, Fashion Editor of The Boardwalk Journal<br />
What happens in Veg a s.....<br />
Every summer I go to Las Vegas for a clothing convention to try and find<br />
new lines from the West Coast to bring here to Jersey. It's every woman's<br />
dream! Racks and racks of clothing to choose from all day long. Not to<br />
mention seeing styles worn by people all over the world. Apparently,<br />
Jillian and I were dead giveaways that we were from Jersey based on our<br />
tans, blonde hair, and our Jersey Shore accents. Its 10 hour days, on your<br />
feet the entire time so it only seems only fair that I mix a little business<br />
with pleasure and brought my husband along.<br />
Last year I made the hotel arrangements at the Hard Rock hotel.<br />
Although the rooms were nice, it wasn't on the strip and the crowd<br />
staying there were ratchet! Men were walking around the lobby shirtless,<br />
wasted at 9am and the music was super loud. This time my husband<br />
made the reservations and we stayed at the Aria. It was absolutely<br />
gorgeous with fresh flowers everywhere, exquisite tapestries and<br />
ornaments and we didn't even get into the room yet. The view from the<br />
room was picturesque with mountains and clouds. The highlight of the<br />
room was the toilet. It was a Toto toilet with special amenities featuring a<br />
heated seat, warm oscillating water for front and back and a dryer. This is<br />
on my Chanukah list this year.<br />
Lately, my idea of a wild night is going out to dinner, having a few<br />
cocktails and going to bed. So I promised my husband that for one<br />
night I would put my old<br />
lady panties aside, and<br />
go to a club. Mike made<br />
arrangements for a table at<br />
Hakkasan, which is a new<br />
club built by some billionaire<br />
from Dubai to spite another<br />
club that gave away his table<br />
to another guest. That puts<br />
all those guys that think<br />
they are all boss at a club<br />
Raina Tallent graduated from the<br />
University of Miami in 2001 and<br />
returned to Margate where she<br />
currently resides with her husband<br />
Mike, her three sons and five dogs.<br />
Although she graduated with an<br />
education degree, she had more<br />
interest in fashion and decided<br />
to open Simply Fly Boutique in<br />
to shame. We first went to the restaurant attached to the club that had<br />
a very intimidating menu. Over all, the food was good but I'd never go<br />
back there again. The club however was amazing!! The woman working<br />
there were all gorgeous and so were the men. They were very attentive<br />
and made sure we were happy at all times. The energy in the club was<br />
unbelievable. From the DJ, the light show, confetti, smoke, and dancers,<br />
everything was over the top. However, the crowd left a lot to be desired.<br />
All those people appalled by Miley Cyrus's performance at the VMAs<br />
clearly haven't been to a club in Vegas. Girls were dancing on tables<br />
with their dresses riding up and grinding all over each other. Wasting<br />
champagne is apparently the new hot thing in the clubs. A guy shakes<br />
up a bottle of champagne and opens it all over a girls face and the foam<br />
explodes everywhere. They call that a "champagne facial." Classy! I've<br />

heard this is also very popular in the clubs in AC also including twerking<br />
and booty popping. These dances as well as the terms "yolo" and "swag"<br />
need to disappear. I'm so relieved I have boys.<br />
Now most people drink and party their way through Vegas, but Mike and<br />
I ate our way. I was all shopped out from the convention so we decided to<br />
go cabless and walk the strip. Our favorite breakfast spot was the Wicked<br />
Spoon at the Cosmopolitan. Everything was plated in small portions<br />
so you didn't feel like such a pig going up for thirds. We then walked<br />
towards the Caesars Forum Shops and there must have been a Gucci and<br />
Louis Vuitton at every block. Very similar to Atlantic City, there were<br />
pawn shops at every corner. We went for lunch there at Spago which is a<br />
Wolfgang Puck restaurant. The food was super fresh, but a bit pricey as it<br />
seems everything is in Vegas. It was a tie between Spago and the FIVE50<br />
Pizza Bar at the Aria. The most amazing garlic bread I've ever had.<br />
Although it was 110 degrees outside, I thought that if I kept walking<br />
I could burn off some calories. Vegas is super impressive with all the<br />
infrastructures and electronic billboards. The sidewalks are packed<br />
with tourists and the locals are selling water for a dollar and giving out<br />
playing cards. As in playing cards, I mean naked pictures of women<br />
with the phone numbers. I've always wondered if you actually got the<br />
2009 to bring some of her South<br />
Beach fashion sense and unique<br />
taste to the South Jersey area.<br />
Simply Fly Boutique continues<br />
to offer the latest fashion and<br />
trends while providing a fun and<br />
relaxing environment for all of its<br />
customers.<br />
girl in the picture. Back in<br />
college we picked out a male<br />
stripper from the <strong>com</strong>puter<br />
for a friend’s birthday. We<br />
ordered a brunette in a cop<br />
uniform and a blonde man<br />
in a cheesy Hawaiian shirt<br />
showed up.<br />
So after a long day in the<br />
heat, we headed back to the<br />
room to nap and get ready<br />
for the best dinner in Vegas. Napping is a pure sign of a vacation. The<br />
SW Steakhouse is in the Wynn Casino, another insanely beautiful casino.<br />
The food is great and the best place to sit is in the outside terrace which<br />
overlooks a lake where after 8:00 pm a water/light show goes on every<br />
half hour. Only in Vegas!!!<br />
After five days I was ready to go home.<br />
I missed my boys and was ready to get<br />
back to reality. I still really miss that<br />
toilet though. Until next year Vegas!!!<br />

Lloyd D. Levenson’s – “Life at the Shore”<br />
“Columbus sailed<br />
the ocean blue in<br />
fourteen hundred<br />
and ninety two.”<br />
Among the huge<br />
collection of facts<br />
which we were<br />
forced to memorize back in school, this<br />
handy rhyme stays with us even long<br />
after we have forgotten “i before e accept<br />
after c or when. . . (however that ends).”<br />
Because this article will probably be<br />
printed before Columbus Day, I thought<br />
I would discuss the explorers who came<br />
to America before Columbus.<br />
In discussing them, I am not<br />
disparaging the great Italian navigator<br />
and his courageous crew, whose<br />
explorations certainly kicked off the<br />
modern wave of cross-Atlantic trips and<br />
the opening of the “New World” to<br />
European influence. And, of course, it is<br />
preposterous to talk about any of these<br />
men “discovering” a continent which<br />
had been the home of millions of Native<br />
Americans for thousands of years.<br />
When I was in school, the only other<br />
European explorer mentioned as a<br />
possible precursor to Columbus was the<br />
Viking, Leif Ericson, who we all picture<br />
wearing a hat with horns on it and<br />
swinging a mighty broadsword. Even<br />
the most conservative archaeologists<br />
accept that there was at least one Viking<br />
settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows, four<br />
or five hundred years before Columbus.<br />
Viking sagas tell us that Snorri<br />
Thorfinnsson was the first European<br />
born on the American continent.<br />
Far less well known are accounts of a<br />
30 | The Boardwalk Journal | September 2013<br />
voyage to the New World by a fleet from<br />
Mali, in sub-Saharan Africa, in<br />
approximately 1311. Professor Ivan<br />
van Sertima of Rutgers was the leading<br />
proponent of this theory, pointing to<br />
characteristic African features on the<br />
giant Olmec stone heads found<br />
throughout Mesoamerica.<br />
Other Olmec heads bear features<br />
which appear to be distinctly Asian,<br />
giving strength to the claims of Chinese<br />
expeditions crossing the northern<br />
Pacific to the California coast as early as<br />
the year 500. Some Scots point to<br />
Henry Sinclair as having explored the<br />
North American coast almost 100 years<br />
before Columbus’s arrival. (There are<br />
carvings in Sinclair’s Rosslyn Chapel<br />
which supposedly depict Indian corn.)<br />
The Irish make the claim that St.<br />
Brendan (the Navigator) crossed the<br />
Atlantic to North America in a leather<br />
boat in the Sixth Century. Tim Severin<br />
actually recreated Brendan’s trip in a<br />
similar boat in 1976. His vessel, lashed<br />
together with two miles of leather<br />
thongs, wrapped in 49 tanned ox hides<br />
and sealed with grease, sailed from<br />
Ireland to Newfoundland, a distance of<br />
4,500 miles.<br />
The Welsh look to their Prince Madoc,<br />
who supposedly explored the continent<br />
in the late Twelfth Century. Consistent<br />
with this theory, Thomas Jefferson<br />
wrote a letter to Meriwether Lewis<br />
advising him to search for Welsh<br />
speaking Indians up the Missouri River.<br />
Italians disappointed by the toppling of<br />
Columbus from the head of the list can<br />
always point to claims of far earlier<br />
discoveries made by classical Roman<br />
navigators more than 1,000 years<br />
before Christopher set sail. Thus, a<br />
Second Century B.C. Roman ship,<br />
loaded with amphora, was supposedly<br />
found in Guanabara Bay, near Rio de<br />
Janeiro, demonstrating at least one<br />
contact between the New and Old<br />
Worlds far earlier than is usually<br />
admitted.<br />
For that matter, there are even those<br />
who believe that the ancient Egyptians<br />
had contact with the Americas,<br />
pointing to traces of tobacco and coca<br />
leaves found in ancient mummies.<br />
(Both plants growing only in the New<br />
World.) As potential confirmation of<br />
this, in 1954, the “Khufu Ship” was<br />
dug out of the bedrock at Giza and<br />
demonstrated that the Egyptians were<br />
building large and sophisticated sailing<br />
vessels (bigger than any of those used<br />
by Columbus) in 2500 B.C.<br />
Whether some, none, or all of these<br />
claims are true, I am safe in saying that<br />
every race and nationality is anxious to<br />
discover this wonderful land, and<br />
particularly the glorious Jersey Shore,<br />
and I wel<strong>com</strong>e every royal barge,<br />
caravan, or outrigger which <strong>com</strong>es to<br />

A Look Back At The Epic Battle For Atlantic City<br />
between Donald Trump & Steve Wynn<br />
BY JAMES J. LEONARD JR., ESQ<br />
Publisher of The Boardwalk Journal<br />
36 | The Boardwalk Journal | September 2013
From 1971 to 1975, boxing fans and the world in general were captivated by the trilogy of fights between Muhammad Ali<br />
and his able fisted nemesis “Smokin’” Joe Frazier.<br />
The 1980’s gave us now legendary rivalries between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors,<br />
“Sugar” Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran and the apex of one of the most important battles in the history of capitalism, the<br />
epic battle between Coke and Pepsi.<br />
From 1995 to 2000, two of the most prominent names in gaming, Steve Wynn and Donald Trump, waged a contentious<br />
battle over a prime piece of real estate in a city that much like its <strong>com</strong>batants, was in its prime.<br />
The clash of these white-collar titans garnered attention from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time,<br />
Newsweek and even 60 Minutes.<br />
This was many years before Donald Trump’s unkempt hair and public feuds with everyone from Barack Obama to Rosie<br />
O’Donnell became punch lines for snarky journalists, much like Atlantic City itself.<br />
But back in the late 90’s, if Atlantic City had a king, it was no doubt the brash and equally brilliant New York based real<br />
estate baron named Trump, who oversaw three of the city’s casinos, each bearing his name; Trump Plaza, Trump Marina<br />
and Trump Taj Mahal, the latter of which was the city’s crowned jewel in the 90’s.<br />
But when Trump, then 38, came to Atlantic City in 1984, opening Trump Plaza, which for obvious reasons billed itself<br />
as ‘The Centerpiece of The Boardwalk’, the city belonged to the then 42 year old Steve Wynn, who owned and operated<br />
the Golden Nugget several blocks away and put Atlantic City gambling on the map with his now famous television<br />
<strong>com</strong>mercials featuring the iconic Frank Sinatra.<br />
Less than three years earlier in early 1987, Wynn sold his beloved Golden Nugget in Atlantic City to the Bally<br />
Manufacturing Company in an effort to reduce debt and improve borrowing capacity for his Golden Nugget Inc., who at<br />
the time had grand plans for a $350 million project on the Las Vegas Strip for land it had acquired in 1986 that was adjacent<br />
to Caesars Palace.<br />
The New York Times in a January 1987 article about Wynn’s plans to leave Atlantic City wrote the following:<br />
Some analysts say the retreat from Atlantic City also represents worries about the casino market there. Analysts say that the<br />
Atlantic City market may have be<strong>com</strong>e saturated and that overregulation, lack of transportation and insufficient convention<br />
space may have made the environment unattractive.<br />
Wynn’s exodus paved the way for Trump to be<strong>com</strong>e the new king of the hill, but eight years later, after single handedly<br />
reinventing Las Vegas, Steve Wynn was talking about <strong>com</strong>ing back to Atlantic City and Donald Trump wasn’t happy.<br />
This is the premise behind former Wynn executive Richard “Skip” Bronson’s book, The War at The Shore: Donald Trump,<br />
Steve Wynn & The Epic War to Save Atlantic City.<br />
Bronson, the president of New City Development Company, a subsidiary of Wynn’s Mirage Resorts Inc., was tasked with<br />
building what he describes in his book as a “top-level new casino and hotel <strong>com</strong>plex in Atlantic City”.<br />
The War at The Shore takes you inside Wynn’s boardroom as he prepares to do battle with Trump in what may ultimately be<br />
the city’s final and most epic showdown.<br />

Q & A with SKIP BRONSON<br />
BY JAMES J. LEONARD JR., ESQ<br />
Publisher of The Boardwalk Journal<br />
BWJ: So during the timeframe you were actually living and working in the midst of what you later called “The War at the<br />
Shore”, were you aware that what you were experiencing on a daily basis would later be the subject matter of a book?<br />
RB: I didn’t for a couple of reasons. Number one, this project was like a Rubik’s cube. There was no time to think about<br />
anything else. Not books, not movies, not fun. Sadly, not even family. It took 100% focus on the task at hand.<br />
BWJ: In your book, the analysis you give of both Steve Wynn and Donald Trump is very in depth. In what ways are these<br />
two men similar and in what ways are they different?<br />
RB: They are similar in their absolute belief that what they are doing is the right thing. They are also alike because they are<br />
the two most optimistic people I’ve ever seen in my life. They don’t see the glass as half full, they see the glass as <strong>com</strong>pletely<br />
full. They are different in the way they approach those realities.<br />
BWJ: You’ve stated publicly your belief that had Steve Wynn re-entered the Atlantic City market back in 2000, he would<br />
have shifted the entire paradigm in the city. Do you still believe that one man could have that affect given Atlantic City’s<br />
current state of affairs in 2013?<br />
RB: If it’s the “right man”, I actually do.<br />
BWJ: You’ve worked closely with Steve Wynn. Atlantic City is where he made his bones so to speak with The Golden<br />
Nugget back in the early 80’s. If not purely for nostalgia, do you envision a scenario where he would <strong>com</strong>e back and save<br />
the city he helped build? We are talking about a man who did in fact marry the same woman twice.<br />
RB: I actually do not. Steve and I are still very close friends and, fortunately, we get to see a lot of each other. We have<br />
discussed countless gaming jurisdictions around the world but Atlantic City never <strong>com</strong>es up in the discussion. His<br />
principle focus is in Asia where he has had extraordinary success. Beyond Asia he is actively pursuing gaming opportunities<br />
in a couple of states but I can’t envision a scenario where he would return to Atlantic City at this time.<br />
BWJ: Your <strong>com</strong>pany, U.S. Digital Gaming is at the forefront of the emerging internet gambling movement. Do you<br />
envision this concept to be the catalyst for change in Atlantic City and if so do you project the internet will bring about an<br />
immediate seismic change to Atlantic City’s ever dwindling gross revenue or do you see this as more of a protracted growth<br />
as people be<strong>com</strong>e more familiar with the technology?<br />
RB: I believe online gaming can definitely be a revenue generator for Atlantic City, but it will not be the panacea. It can<br />
certainly be part of the solution, but it cannot be the entire solution.<br />
BWJ: Suppose you had a crystal ball out there in Beverly Hills, what would Atlantic City look like today if Donald Trump<br />
was still running three properties and if Steve Wynn had <strong>com</strong>e back to the city in 2000 and had stayed?<br />
RB: Like my friends Donald and Steve, I’m not big on post-mortems. I would rather focus on the future. However, if<br />
they had stayed in Atlantic City, it would be hard to believe that Atlantic City would not be better off than it is today.<br />

A LOOK AT THE FUTURE OF ONLINE<br />
GAMING IN <strong>NEW</strong> <strong>JERSEY</strong> & BEYOND<br />
AN ESSAY FOR The Boardwalk Journal<br />
By Richard D. "Skip" Bronson<br />
By now, you may have heard about the recently-released<br />
Farmer’s Almanac predicted a snowy Super Bowl at the<br />
Meadowlands in New Jersey in early 2014 – the first cold<br />
weather, professional football title game. I’m happy for my<br />
friend, New York Giants Co-Chairman Steve Tisch, that the Big<br />
Blue and Jets are hosting. So, I certainly hope the forecast is<br />
wrong. Amazingly, the publication has been around since 1818<br />
and has 80% accuracy in its weather forecasts. For a century,<br />
those forecasts were done without Doppler or Al Roker and<br />
many times were important harbingers for farmers and<br />
small-town America.<br />
Fast forward from predicting snowy football games in New Jersey to predicting the impact and future of online gaming in<br />
New Jersey and beyond. Can we zero-in on the exact time and place and means by which this industry takes off and makes<br />
a difference for operators or consumers? No, I don’t think we can. But, I can predict this (and, like the Almanac, I’m at<br />
about 80%, too) – it is happening. It is <strong>com</strong>ing. And, it has fascinating potential.<br />
Looking back over the last 24 months, there really haven’t been any great surprises in this space. U.S. authorities cracked<br />
down on illegal offshore operators. The federal bill was nothing more than the recent Lone Ranger film – lots of hype; no<br />
box office. The federal bill never materialized and never will. Even my wife is tired of hearing me say over and over, it is a<br />
state-by-state issue, just as all other gaming, from lotteries to casinos, have been.<br />
As expected, New Jersey and Nevada have led the way, with Delaware joining the party, too. These states have a proud<br />
and a long history of industry leadership alongside an existing, proven regulatory environment that works. New Jersey<br />
isn’t quite up and running yet and Delaware is in its infancy. Each of these states have a smallish customer base that will<br />
make liquidity difficult and profitability even more difficult than that. But, there are distinct benefits to their activation.<br />
They are providing effective R&D for the operators to feel-out the market and adapt to it. (And these industry leaders<br />
have the financial wherewithal to do this.) They are building their data bases and fine-tuning the technology. And, they<br />
have the potential still to support their brick-and-mortar facilities thru this online effort. On the latter point, I have my<br />
fingers-crossed. Certainly one of the catalysts for the legalization in New Jersey was to give existing stakeholders the ability<br />
to operate online, with an eye on supporting the financial health of their physical properties with cross-marketing, crosspromotion<br />
and a new revenue stream. That was part of the vision of Governor Christie and his Atlantic City czar, Jon<br />
Hanson. They are spot on. And heck, you even have Steve Wynn looking at operating in New Jersey. Anytime you can get<br />
the participation and validation of this pioneer and market-maker, you’re on to something.<br />
42 | The Boardwalk Journal | September 2013
I’ve really been impressed with the work of the Fertittas, Tom Breitling and the launch of Ultimate Poker in Nevada. Their<br />
platform is terrific. The customer experience is engaging and most of all; they are leveraging a well-known, consumerfacing<br />
brand to build a <strong>com</strong>munity of participants. This is, in my view, one of the secret ingredients to success in online<br />
gaming, especially as we look ahead to operations in multiple jurisdictions. Very smart. The “Ultimate” brand has<br />
phenomenal reach and adaptability in any state, and myriad marketing avenues. The brand has resonance and a passionate<br />
following and is easily cross-promoted, in and out of the space.<br />
Speaking of weather forecasts, the skies remain cloudy for the European operators, who desperately want access to the<br />
huge American market. We’ve seen multi-million dollar legal settlements. Offers to buy distressed casino buildings in<br />
Atlantic City, as a way to enter the marketplace. “Bad boy” provisions in legislation for online legalization. Alliances with<br />
established U.S. operators, that have <strong>com</strong>e and gone. Many have effective technology platforms and years of operating<br />
experience. Some also have strong balance sheets. But, what many of the offshore operators haven’t understood in today’s<br />
world – entering this industry requires political know-how, as well as software know-how. It also requires entry into a<br />
regulatory environment that is determined to be clean as a whistle; not mostly clean. And given that, the path to prosperity<br />
in the U.S. may never materialize for them without a shift in strategy and a genuine understanding of how to participate<br />
here.<br />
Other states will continue to explore and dive into this industry. The legislative season will be upon us as the calendar turns<br />
and a multitude of states will again convene <strong>com</strong>mittees, debate legislation and try to fill revenue gaps in their state budgets.<br />
While I don’t see a tidal wave of states that will approve in 2014, there may be a couple and certainly, a few more may take<br />
another step forward. Oftentimes, it can take two or three consecutive legislative sessions to tackle and approve something<br />
as significant as this online gaming issue.<br />
The jurisdiction that could be most interesting in the next twelve months? Easily, it is California. The largest in population,<br />
it is instant liquidity and eventually, profitability. California is bigger than many of the European markets and would be<br />
battle royale for market-share among a host of players. Of course, you’d need to navigate the political waters first, with<br />
card clubs, Native American casino interests and the horse-racing industry, too. (This reminds me of the scene from<br />
Anchorman, where the Will Ferrell news team is fighting all of the other news teams, led by Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller,<br />
Tim Robbins and Luke Wilson. Maybe Steve Carrell could represent the breeders?) The stakes are high – so, too, are<br />
the rewards. Yet despite the tangled webs, there is some powerful will and, there is the desperate need for new revenues.<br />
California may have another ripple effect, which could reach the Boardwalk in Atlantic City or the Strip in Las Vegas – it<br />
could be the cornerstone to an interstate network that would give online operators in New Jersey or Nevada access to the<br />
tens of millions of customers in the Golden State. Keep an eye on this, as I am, too.<br />
Whenever I think of California legalization, I also think of the groundbreaking innovation that <strong>com</strong>es from the world’s<br />
technology hub in Silicon Valley. Technology evolves at light-speed in the 21st century. There are new applications,<br />
programs and ideas that have already revolutionized the way we purchase, <strong>com</strong>municate, socialize and work. And, there<br />
is a whole world that has yet to be invented or discovered or, are about to be and we don’t know it yet. I’m excited by this<br />
– and, that says a lot for a kid who grew up delivering the newspaper and watching Ed Sullivan. The real question is – how<br />
does the gaming industry wrap its arms around the technology and opportunities. And, vice versa.<br />
My <strong>com</strong>pany, U.S. Digital Gaming, spent a considerable amount of time in 2012 with Zynga, discussing some potential<br />
synergies. At the time, they were on fire. The stock was up. Alec Baldwin was playing “Words with Friends.” All was<br />
great for this start-up. In the discussion of online gaming, Zynga felt that they could emerge as the market leader from<br />
sea to shining sea. They touted it on Wall Street. They spent considerable dollars on personnel, programmers and plans.<br />
Somewhere along the way, they forgot their MapQuest and got lost – online gaming was barely legal in the U.S. and they<br />
had no standing as an operator, especially as states were creating legislation to allow limit licenses to existing stakeholders.<br />
They were all dressed up with no place to go and just a few months ago, had to publicly declare that they were out of the<br />
online gaming space in the U.S., even as we all know they were never in it to begin with.<br />
The Boardwalk Journal | September 2013 | 43
The out<strong>com</strong>e with Zynga was unfortunate for a lot of reasons. To me, the biggest bogey – the traditional casino industry<br />
wasn’t able, at least in this instance, to tap into the inventive programming and thinking of a next generation technology<br />
leader who was/is, in all likelihood, closer to the emerging trends in tech-driven consumerism. Ideas like theirs, or any<br />
number of other tech trailblazers, could conceivably reinvent the online gaming experience and proposition. Zynga, at<br />
the end of the day, was too “new world” in their evaluation of the legalization landscape to understand that it <strong>com</strong>es in an<br />
“old school” political way. Speaking of California again for a minute, wouldn’t the prospects for legalizing online gaming<br />
improve if there was a cadre of <strong>com</strong>panies like Google, Facebook, Yahoo and even Zynga pushing in the same direction,<br />
with an eye on revolutionizing the casino industry with their own participation?<br />
Still, today’s online technologies can offer a powerful tool in the modern-day tool box of success for the casino industry<br />
as we know it, when married with online gambling. Data base collection and understanding are paramount to customer<br />
relations and revenue enhancement. Online can drive real-time traffic around real-time promotions, filling beds, building<br />
slot traffic or selling-out a special event. The evolution of mobile devices is also huge and there are opportunities out there<br />
today and <strong>com</strong>ing tomorrow, which will redefine the very essence of this space. Remember: this is where there is the most<br />
immediate Return On Investment for the industry.<br />
Back to New Jersey for just a moment. As the online presence gears up this fall, I have two specific hopes and my fingers<br />
are crossed. First, I hope that the operators can use this presence on the worldwide web (key word: worldwide, as in<br />
the opportunity to sell your product around the world) to promote and drive business to the state. Online gambling<br />
is relatively easy – a <strong>com</strong>pelling internet experience is the real opportunity, motivating and inspiring new visitors and<br />
creating buzz about the city on the boardwalk. Secondly, I hope that New Jersey could use its market leadership to drive<br />
innovations in the casino and gaming industry. Why not use this 21st century opportunity to be<strong>com</strong>e a global leader in<br />
the synergies of the physical casino business and the futuristic virtual gaming space? Break-thru technologies, new revenue<br />
platforms and cutting-edge promotional and consumer programs could redefine the next generation of gaming. For<br />
Atlantic City to thrive, it needs business, revenue spikes and mindshare – the internet could be an engine that revs its next<br />
chapter. I spent what seemed like a lifetime in Atlantic City a decade ago, advancing the Brigantine Connector Tunnel to<br />
the Borgata, as Mirage Resorts’ development chief – nobody wants to see this special place remain special more than me.<br />
The gaming industry’s new digital age is upon us and offers optimism and change, with grand potential. The out<strong>com</strong>e is<br />
sure to be fascinating, exciting and full of twists – much like a Super Bowl in the snow in New Jersey.<br />
Mr. Bronson is the Chairman of U.S. Digital Gaming (USDG) and Chairman of The Bronson Companies. USDG is<br />
a California-based online gaming interest and The Bronson Companies is a real estate development firm specializing<br />
in unique retail and hospitality destinations. A former Director of Mirage Resorts, he headed the <strong>com</strong>pany’s new<br />

STEVE WYNN MAY BE HEADING<br />
EAST AGAIN, BUT WHERE?<br />
BY JAMES J. LEONARD JR., ESQ<br />
Publisher of The Boardwalk Journal<br />
Whenever word leaks that the now 71 year old casino king Steve Wynn is even mildly interested in expanding his global gaming empire into new<br />
territory, people get excited.<br />
Such was the case when the word began to circulate about the proposed Wynn Philadelphia, from the man himself in an open letter to Philadelphia<br />
that was circulated via the web.<br />
In the letter, Wynn states that he has been presented with “lesser opportunities to do something in Philadelphia”, but none of those opportunities<br />
have “offered the location, scope and level of luxury that Philadelphia deserves”, as he goes on to discuss building a “remarkable” East Coast<br />
destination, the kind of proclamation that sends shivers down the spines of casino operators 60 miles away straight down the Atlantic City<br />
Expressway.<br />
And to top it off, when Wynn went before the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board back in February to discuss his proposed billion-dollar Delaware<br />
River resort, which includes a state of the art quasi-boardwalk dubbed River Walk Park, he uttered the following words:<br />
“Atlantic City is the enemy.”<br />
The proposed rendering of Wynn Philadelphia and its development site on the Delaware River north of<br />
The Ben Franklin Bridge<br />
Fast forward six months and the local buzz is no longer about Wynn Philadelphia, as the casino king’s application in the Keystone State is currently<br />
mired in what can best be described as classic Philadelphia cronyism, it’s about Wynn seeking a casino license in Atlantic City to cash in on New<br />
Jersey’s Internet gambling market, which is slated to begin in late November of this year and could be the catalyst for Atlantic City’s much discussed<br />
renaissance that never seems to <strong>com</strong>e to fruition.<br />
With the mere filing of an application, speculation is mounting regarding what Wynn's plans might be for Atlantic City<br />
Is he buying the Atlantic Club? Is he buying Trump Plaza? Is he making a bid for Bader Field?<br />
Before we prepare for the second <strong>com</strong>ing of Steve Wynn, consider carefully the <strong>com</strong>ments made on page 41 by Skip Bronson, a man who knows<br />
Wynn well. The smart money may be on Wynn simply tickling the wire and seeing what <strong>com</strong>es of it.<br />
The smart money may be on Wynn simply tickling the wire and seeing what <strong>com</strong>es back to him.<br />
For now, there is nothing to suggest the imminent return of his eminence, but as Atlantic City looks forward to Internet gambling <strong>com</strong>e November,<br />
one can only hope that Steve Wynn is soon dismissing Philadelphia as “the enemy” as he announces his return to the city where he first became a<br />
legend more than thirty years ago.<br />

CATCHING UP WITH<br />
MELISSA GORGA<br />
BY REBECCA LEONARD<br />
Editor-in-Chief of The Boardwalk Journal<br />
Back in the late summer of 2010, I got a call from my<br />
husband that he would be late <strong>com</strong>ing home because he<br />
was meeting a husband and wife from North Jersey in his<br />
office to go over a contract they had been offered to<br />
appear on a reality television show.<br />
Later that night when my husband came home he told<br />
me all about his new clients and how excited he was to<br />
work with them because they were very down to earth<br />
and seemed like great people.<br />
The husband and wife turned out to be Joe and Melissa<br />
Gorga and the rest is history in the making.<br />
The Boardwalk Journal first featured Melissa Gorga in<br />
all her housewife splendor on our August 2011 “Lady<br />
Gorga” cover, which was featured prominently last<br />
season on Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey.<br />
More than two years later we catch up with TV’s hottest<br />
housewife who is on the cusp of releasing more music<br />
and her highly anticipated book Love Italian Style.<br />
BWJ: So how did your book “Love Italian Style” <strong>com</strong>e about?<br />
MG: Well, originally it started out that people on Twitter and my fans and everyone that I met at signings and other events; the first<br />
thing that they noticed about me and that they talked about was my family and my kids and my husband. It was always about my<br />
marriage and people would always say wow, you and Joe have this great relationship and how do you do it, how do you keep each other<br />
so in to one another. Everyone was constantly noticing the marriage and the relationship and I started realizing that that’s what people<br />
wanted from me. I guess when you have a platform like this show provides me, you start to pay attention to what people like about<br />
you and what they don’t like about you and I started to see that everywhere I went people would talk about the relationship that Joe<br />
and I have and the respect that we have for one another. I think they see the playfulness that we have and that we still flirt like we are<br />
teenagers and it’s the first year of us being together. I think that intrigues a lot of people and they wanted to know the secret, so that’s<br />
how it all came about. I started talking to publishing <strong>com</strong>panies about it and they loved the idea and we went from there.<br />
BWJ: I know that you’re doing a few book signings in South Jersey, when and where will you be?<br />
MG: I will be in Deptford at the Barnes & Noble on September 19th at 7pm and then in Glassboro at the Barnes & Noble at Rowan<br />
University on September 24th at 6pm. On October 5th I will be in Atlantic City at The Golden Nugget. I’m a South Jersey girl, I was<br />
born and raised in Toms River and that’s where my whole family still lives.<br />
BWJ: I saw recently that you were at the MTV Video Music Awards. What was that like, given your passion for music?<br />
MG: Oh my god, it was amazing, it was such an experience. It was something that I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve been such a fan of the<br />
VMA’s for as long as I could remember and I would always find myself watching them at home and you never think that it could ever<br />
happen that you would actually be there and walking the red carpet and sitting behind Rihanna during the VMA’s. It was crazy we had<br />
Rihanna and Drake and Jennifer Hudson sitting two seats in front of me. It was surreal, it was surreal to be there and it was everything<br />
that I dreamed it would be. I had the chills the whole time. It was great, more than I could ever ask for. I’m still on a VMA high right<br />
now. So keep your eyes open!<br />

BWJ: My husband told me that he was with you when you met Sean “Diddy” Combs in New York a few summers ago and<br />
that when he saw you he came up to you and said, “Thank you Jesus”, which clearly indicates he watches the show. Who are<br />
some of the other celebrities that have surprised you with their knowledge of the show?<br />
MG: That’s true about Diddy; he was actually imitating me from the show when we met him which was surreal. 50 Cent<br />
told me that he loves the show, Kristin Chenoweth, she loves the show. Nicki Minaj is another one; she’s tweeted about Joe<br />
before. You would be so surprised about who watches the show and how many fans actually watch the show. It’s kind of<br />
crazy! We did ‘Watch What Happens Live’ with Mike Tyson and he knew everything about the show and it was like, ‘Mike<br />
Tyson is sitting on his couch and watching our show.’ You’d have to see how many people at the VMA’s walked up to us<br />
because they watch the show. We were in shock.<br />
BWJ: You have had great success away from television with the release of songs like “On Display” and “I Just Wanna.” How<br />
would you describe your latest single “Never Let Me Go”?<br />
MG: I’m psyched about this new single that I just released because it is all new producers and all new writers and I’m<br />
working with an amazing guy named Johnnie Wright who is the manager for Justin Timberlake, Akon and the Jonas<br />
Brothers. He’s the guy that made Britney and he made ‘N Sync so just to have him working with me and interested in<br />
helping me and taking me on as his client is just crazy to me. I’m still taking it in. I talk to him every day and go back and<br />
forth with emails every day and I still can’t believe that I’m even having conversations with someone of his caliber. It just<br />
feels great, really great to know that he’s on my team. The song is the best one yet and we are working on radio play for it<br />
right now. It’s looking really good for that. I don’t want to promise anything because it’s still in the works, but we just got a<br />
really exciting call about that, so stay tuned for “Never Let Me Go.”<br />
BWJ: Obviously everyone is talking about the legal problems that Teresa and Joe are having, have you had a chance to<br />
reach out to her and offer your support?<br />
MG: Of course. Teresa knows that we are here for her. At the end of the day the most important thing are those four little<br />
girls and Teresa knows that if she needs us we are here for her.<br />
BWJ: Your sisters, Lysa and Kim, who are both amazing, are so supportive of everything you do. How important are they<br />
behind the scenes in helping you with all of the drama that <strong>com</strong>es with being a Housewife?<br />
MG: They are a major source of <strong>com</strong>fort and support for me. They are always there to keep me grounded, to keep my two<br />
feet on the ground and to remind me what life is really all about. They are a very good reality check for me. You know there<br />
is no Real Housewife of New Jersey Melissa when you are around them. I’m still their little sister and they help to keep me<br />
grounded. Without them I would be lost because it’s hard to trust people in this world I’m in right now, it’s very cut throat<br />
and once you get on a show like this it’s very hard to trust people. But with Lysa and Kim, those are two people that I know<br />
will never turn their backs on me and it’s really important when you are in a situation like this. We are opening our whole<br />
world to the public and it’s a very scary thing to do, but I know that no matter what I will always have my sisters to back me<br />
up and to love and support me.<br />
BWJ: So you have conquered television, music and now publishing. What is next for Melissa Gorga?<br />
MG: I don’t know. I guess we will have to wait and see! Maybe more books and more music. I am working on a fashion<br />
line that may be <strong>com</strong>ing out too so keep your eyes open!<br />

Dr. Jon Pomeroy<br />
As any physician will tell you, the best way to avoid illness<br />
and injury is to live a healthy and active lifestyle. For Dr. Jon<br />
Pomeroy, this isn’t just a advice he gives to his patients. It’s a<br />
motto that he lives by.<br />
Dr. Pomeroy is one of the newest members of Shore<br />
Physicians Group – a multi-specialty practice focused on<br />
treating people well with offices in Northfield, Somers<br />
Point, Egg Harbor Township and Ocean City. As an internal<br />
medicine specialist, Dr. Pomeroy focuses on all aspects of<br />
adult health and wellness. His philosophy has always been<br />
that it is better to keep the body in shape through activity<br />
than to let it weaken and be<strong>com</strong>e susceptible to illness and<br />
injury. It’s a concept that was instilled in him by his parents<br />
while growing up in Ventnor.<br />
“My father was my coach when I was younger,” said Dr.<br />
Pomeroy. “My sister was an ac<strong>com</strong>plished rower and softball<br />
player. My brother was my teammate in lacrosse. So being<br />
involved with sports came very natural to our family.”<br />
In addition to playing multiple sports in high school,<br />
Pomeroy played rugby and roller hockey at the University<br />
of Pennsylvania and soccer at the Philadelphia College of<br />
Osteopathic Medicine. The location of his residency – the<br />
University of Hawaii – was helpful in keeping him active<br />
during his medical training. An avid surfer from his days<br />
growing up at the Jersey Shore, Pomeroy embraced the<br />
opportunities to surf in Hawaii. While surfing offers a great<br />
physical workout – between paddling for waves and using<br />
the core to stay balanced – it’s also a great stress reliever.<br />
“In Hawaii, I spent much of my free time either hiking or<br />
surfing,” Dr. Pomeroy said. “It kept me in good physical<br />
and mental shape. A good hike or wave was always at my<br />
fingertips in Hawaii.”<br />
Of course, it wasn’t all paddling and hiking. While<br />
<strong>com</strong>pleting his residency at the University of Hawaii, Dr.<br />
Pomeroy trained extensively at Queen’s Medical Center,<br />
Straub Hospital, Leahi Hospital HIV Research Center,<br />
Kuakini Medical Center, Veteran Affairs Clinic at Tripler<br />
Army Medical Center and Waikiki Health Center.<br />
Eager to pass on his philosophy of physical fitness and<br />
wellness to the next generation, Dr. Pomeroy has coached<br />
youth lacrosse and served as the athletic trainer for the<br />
Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. He has also run in<br />
marathons in Hawaii and Philadelphia.<br />
Dr. Jon Pomeroy<br />
Dr. Pomeroy is now in practice at Shore Physicians Group’s<br />
401 Bethel Road office in Somers Point, specializing in the<br />
prevention and treatment of adult disease ranging from<br />
chronic issues like COPD and diabetes to acute illnesses<br />
such as upper respiratory infections. He continues to keep<br />
active and encourages his patients to take advantage of the<br />
many opportunities to stay active at the Jersey Shore.<br />
“We are very fortunate to live in a place where nature is so<br />
accessible,” Dr. Pomeroy said. “The boardwalk on Absecon<br />
Island is perfect for running, biking and walking. And the<br />
ocean provides many opportunities for activity, including<br />
surfing, stand-up paddling, kayaking, swimming and fishing.”<br />

TAMI KITCHEN<br />
A newspaper. A cup of tea. A shoulder to lean on. A smile. To most<br />
people, these are simple aspects of everyday life. For Tami Kitchen, they<br />
are gold.<br />
As Administrative Director of Patient and Family Experience at Shore<br />
Medical Center, Tami Kitchen, BSN, RN, CPN, knows how much the<br />
little things in life matter. Every word and gesture are threads in the<br />
tapestry of a patient’s healthcare experience at Shore, and it is Kitchen’s<br />
job to show employees how every decision makes an impact.<br />
“Every moment matters when it <strong>com</strong>es to caring for our patients, their<br />
families and friends,” said Kitchen. “What we think of as inconsequential<br />
can be monumental for the people we care for. I’m so proud to be part<br />
of an organization that has embraced a model of care that is patientcentered,<br />
and has made it its mission to always put our patients and their<br />
loved ones first.”<br />
In June, Shore Medical Center was formally designated by Planetree, Inc.,<br />
as a “Planetree Designated Patient-Centered Hospital®.” This designation<br />
recognizes Shore’s achievement and innovation in the delivery of patientcentered<br />
care. Shore is the first and only hospital in New Jersey and one<br />
of only 39 healthcare organizations worldwide to receive the Patient-<br />
Centered Designation since the program’s launch in 2007.<br />
Leading the patient-centered charge for Shore has been Kitchen, who is<br />
the medical center’s Planetree Coordinator for Patient Centered Care.<br />
Originally from Philadelphia, PA, she earned her Bachelor of Science<br />
degree in nursing at Rowan University. A registered nurse and certified<br />
pediatric nurse, Kitchen began here career as a pediatric nurse at St.<br />
Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. Six years later, she<br />
joined Temple University Children’s Medical Center, where she served<br />
as a pediatric nurse and administrative supervisor until joining Shore as a<br />
pediatric staff nurse in 2004.<br />
Kitchen’s <strong>com</strong>mitment to putting patients first was evident from the<br />
moment she joined the Shore Medical Center staff. An outspoken<br />
advocate for patient rights, she served as Maternal Child Health<br />
Supervisor and later Pediatric Nurse Manager before assuming her<br />
current title in 2009. In this role, she has overseen Shore’s Planetree<br />
journey and championed a cultural shift that has transformed the<br />
medical center into a global leader in patient-centered care.<br />
that all staff members were involved in the implementation of patientcentered<br />
care; and that the medical center’s physical environment was<br />
warm, <strong>com</strong>forting and conducive to the healing process. The Planetree<br />
journey also included a review of the medical center’s performance<br />
in terms of publicly reported patient satisfaction and quality of care<br />
measures.<br />
Reflecting on the Planetree process, Kitchen, who lives in Ocean City,<br />
NJ, with her husband, Tom, and their three daughters, Mackenzie, 15,<br />
Madison, 14, and Meagan, 4, is proud of the strides made by everyone at<br />
Shore.<br />
“Our foundation is solid, and I think as healthcare continues to change,<br />
it will drive us to evolve accordingly,” she said. “Our dedication to being<br />
patient-centered shows the public we are <strong>com</strong>mitted to partnering with<br />
them to create a healthier <strong>com</strong>munity, which can trust we will be there<br />
for them in their time of need.”<br />
TAMI KITCHEN<br />
Over the past five years, Shore Medical Center has implemented a<br />
substantial number of initiatives and practices designed to enhance both<br />
the patient and staff experience. These programs included the creation of<br />
administrative rounds, patient-directed visitation, the Patient and Family<br />
Advisory Council and the No One Dies Alone program, which provides<br />
<strong>com</strong>panions for patients who are near death and have no one to <strong>com</strong>fort<br />
them.<br />
As part of Shore’s Planetree designation process, which included a site<br />
visit by representatives from not-for-profit organization, focus groups<br />
were conducted with recent Shore patients and current staff members to<br />
ensure specific patient-centered policies were in place. These included<br />
non-restrictive visiting hours; an open medical chart policy; verification<br />

fitness<br />
by Julianne Dods, Fitness Editor of The Boardwalk Journal<br />
It’s easy to fall off the fitness wagon in the summer.<br />
Vacations, kids being home from school, outdoor activities<br />
and assorted family obligations often seem to get in the way<br />
of <strong>com</strong>mitting to a regular, consistent workout regimen.<br />
If that’s been your experience, then fall is a perfect time to<br />
dedicate yourself to getting back on track toward achieving<br />
your fitness goals…whether it’s losing body fat, gaining<br />
strength and flexibility, or just plain looking and feeling<br />
better.<br />
So how do you honor that <strong>com</strong>mitment that you’ve made to<br />
yourself to engage in a healthier lifestyle and make exercise<br />
part of your daily routine? Start by figuring out what you<br />
enjoy doing. If you<br />
feel like you should<br />
be running more, but<br />
aren’t enamored with<br />
the treadmill, then stop<br />
torturing yourself. Get<br />
creative instead. Find a<br />
cardiovascular activity<br />
that is similar and may<br />
not seem so much like<br />
“running!” Racquetball,<br />
swimming and group exercise classes are just a few examples<br />
of activities that provide excellent cardio benefits without<br />
the wear and tear on the joints often associated with<br />
running.<br />
Accountability is a key success factor in any endeavor, and<br />
fitness is no different. Personal training and small group<br />
training are easy and highly effective ways to adhere to your<br />
workouts, because you will be with people who are invested<br />
in your success. You have made a <strong>com</strong>mitment to others,<br />
both physically and financially, and you are more likely<br />
to show up when your trainer or exercise classmates are<br />
expecting you.<br />

health<br />
Today there is a lot of focus on losing weight. But is it about dropping a few<br />
pounds while depriving yourself from living? Well that’s what diets do. What<br />
other options do you have in order to be healthy without having the daily<br />
stress of what to eat next?<br />
Nutrition is one of the fundamental cornerstones of health. You can be on a<br />
diet and visit the gym 7 days a week and get adequate rest, but if you’re not<br />
providing your body with all the essential micro and macro nutrients it needs,<br />
then all of your efforts will be lost. Optimum nutrition will help your immune<br />
system stay strong, help you maintain a healthy body <strong>com</strong>position when used<br />
along with a <strong>com</strong>plimentary exercise routine, and also maintain strength and<br />
health right into your older years.<br />
Food is our fuel and what we consume provides the building blocks for<br />
our cells. Knowing exactly what our cells need, in what proportion and at<br />
what time is important. Some<br />
nutrients behave like dominoes<br />
– if you are missing one, the rest<br />
can fall down. And the potential<br />
consequences of missing one<br />
vital nutrient can go from feeling<br />
a bit tired to full on memory<br />
loss! Knowing some simple<br />
golden rules, “Rules for Life” I<br />
call them, can make a massive<br />
difference to our well-being.<br />
Today There Is A Lot of Focus On.....<br />
Nancy Adler is a certified nutritionist<br />
specializing in nutrition and weight<br />
control. She is the owner of Nancy Adler<br />
Nutrition where she counsels her clients<br />
on a one-on-one weekly basis helping<br />
them to make permanent healthier lifestyle<br />
changes. She currently holds three of<br />
the highest accredited certifications in<br />
the field of nutrition and fitness. Nancy<br />
lectures in schools, businesses and civic<br />
groups where she helps to spread the<br />
importance of healthy living through<br />
As a nutritionist, most of my<br />
clients <strong>com</strong>e to me to address:<br />
high cholesterol, raised blood pressure, weight control, muscle gain, fatigue,<br />
headaches, acne, recurring infections, digestive disorders, Crone’s disease, IBS,<br />
hormonal imbalances, mood swings and even IC (Interstitial Cystitis).<br />
Your first consultation will include a nutritional profile. I do like to review<br />
your medications and vitamin supplements, if any. Your health history will be<br />
discussed. The consultation focuses on identifying biochemical imbalances<br />
and the impact of your diet and lifestyle on your health. A nutrition program<br />
will be devised for you as we move through the program. If you have specific<br />
goals such as weight loss, then I will also re<strong>com</strong>mend an exercise plan as well.<br />
something then breaking the fast with a Big Mac. What did you really learn<br />
except how to get rid of bloat just to return to the puffy belly as soon as<br />
sodium hits your lips?<br />
Most nutritional programs require just making simple changes to your diet.<br />
Any changes that are re<strong>com</strong>mended will be easy to implement. You will leave<br />
your consultation armed with masses of information including a weekly plan<br />
including meal suggestions, a shopping list and advice on how to apply all my<br />
re<strong>com</strong>mendations to your daily life. And my phone is always open to you. If<br />
you don’t ask the questions, how can you learn?<br />
A client will follow up weekly and idea of bringing nutrition into your life will<br />
now be something you just do, a habit. I often tell my clients, “You get your<br />
hair and nails done religiously why doesn’t this vital part of life be<strong>com</strong>e habit?”<br />
nutrition. Area physicians consult with<br />
and refer Nancy to their patients to help<br />
them to possibly eliminate medications<br />
and naturally achieve a healthier lifestyle.<br />
You may listen to Nancy every Tuesday<br />
mornings on WOND 1400 AM on Barbara<br />
Altman’s “Front Porch” and on Ed Hitzel’s<br />
“Table for One”. Nancy may also be<br />

Adrienne.” Visit Nancy’s website at www.<br />

It’s so rewarding when I can<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e a part of someone’s<br />
journey toward healthier<br />
living and see them finally<br />
understanding what it’s like to<br />
have control over a part of their<br />
lives that they have struggled<br />
with for so many years. It’s<br />
not about losing weight. It’s<br />
about confidence and health.<br />
Changing lives forever- that’s<br />
what I do.<br />
The most important thing to understand is that I do not provide a quick<br />
solution to any goals you may have, nor do I offer temporary diets. What<br />
you will gain, however, is the knowledge to empower yourself to make long<br />
lasting changes to your eating habits enabling you to meet your goals, improve<br />
your health and sustain these successes for life, not just the summer season.<br />
Anything that promises a super fast solution most likely will not be sustainable<br />
long term.<br />
True success has to last. Everywhere I turn someone is doing a 7 day<br />

Anthony’s Out to Lunch<br />
The AVENUE<br />
By<br />
Anthony Previti<br />
Man…where the heck did summer go? One day I’m<br />
sitting at the beach thinking about margaritas and the<br />
next weekend I am staring at an aisle full of pumpkin<br />
beers. Is it that time of year already? I was starting<br />
to get that Jersey seasonal depression that we all go<br />
through and then I realized, “Wait, I absolutely love<br />
pumpkin beers!” I was tired of margaritas anyway…<br />
Speaking of delicious beverages, I saw this Facebook<br />
post that a new place called The Avenue over in Egg<br />
Harbor City had a large craft beer menu and they just<br />
tapped a keg of Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale.<br />
That’s one of my all time favorites. For once, I didn’t<br />
even care about the food menu and made plans to go<br />
that evening. (Yeah right, like I wouldn’t care about a<br />
food menu…)<br />
So we turned on to an artsy looking Philadelphia<br />
Avenue and found the nicely renovated upscale pub<br />
right away. I felt like I was hanging out in the East<br />
Village up in New York City and my taste buds were<br />
getting really excited. We were immediately greeted<br />
by a very knowledgeable bartender who informed us<br />
that The Avenue prides itself on using as many local<br />
and homemade ingredients as possible. I thought<br />
that was pretty cool, and then I was over<strong>com</strong>e with<br />
<strong>com</strong>plete serenity when he brought me that cold glass<br />
of pumpkin ale I had been thinking about all day. It<br />
tasted even better than I had remembered.<br />
After reveling in my tasty pint, it was time for some<br />
food. We shared an order of the Avenue Wings ($9).<br />
The fresh (never frozen) chicken wings were crispy and<br />
served with a choice of traditional buffalo, honey-ale<br />
bbq, or orange chili sauce. I couldn’t decide and our<br />
waitress was kind enough to let me try all three. I was<br />
really surprised at how much I liked the citrusy, spicy<br />
orange-chili glaze. And while a few of the wings were a<br />
little on the small side, the big flavors really made them<br />
stand out.<br />
As I was licking the last of the sauce off my fingers,<br />
the sandwich round began. The Ortlieb ($9) was an<br />
order of three slow, hickory smoked pulled pork sliders<br />
topped with slaw and served on miniature, country<br />
rolls. The buns were soft on the top and buttery and<br />
toasted in the middle. They were a great vessel for the<br />
dish, but I just wish either the slaw had a little more<br />
dressing or the pork had a little more sauce. It was a<br />
little too dry for me. All the sandwiches came with<br />
thick cut potato chips and pickles. Both were made in<br />
house, perfectly seasoned, and simply outstanding.<br />
The next sandwich was The Robert Will ($12). This<br />
monster was loaded with shredded roast chicken salad,<br />
stacked with locally made bacon, smoked Gouda<br />
cheese, avocados, and heirloom tomatoes, slathered<br />
with a garlic aioli, and served on a toasted stout wheat<br />
bread. Wow. It tasted even better than that entire<br />
sentence sounds. I had to dislocate my jaw like a<br />
python to get a bite, but it was worth all that stretching.<br />
Creamy, bacon-y, savory, tomato-y, absolutely freakin’<br />
Awesome-y.<br />
It was a struggle to eat that last potato wedge, but I<br />
did it. I was just leaning back in my chair and calling<br />
it quits when the waitress asked if we would like to try<br />
some warm, homemade cinnamon-sugar chocolate<br />
chip cookies and glass of milk for only four bucks? My<br />
eyes widened, as I casually put that napkin back on my<br />
lap and somehow mustered the strength to nod in the<br />
affirmative. We all tend to over-think desserts these<br />
days with crazy pastries and super sweet cakes. There<br />
are few things in this world that bring us that childlike<br />
joy more than a plate of warm cookies and cold glass<br />
of milk. And let me tell you, The Avenue makes a<br />
slammin’ cookie.<br />
Maybe I am being selfish, but I really hope The Avenue<br />
is a successful restaurant. Because if they keep serving<br />
cold, craft beers and solid grub, then maybe, just<br />
maybe, we can keep those winter blues away…<br />
