The re-opening of Ski Barn onRoute 1 is just in time for winter,and customers could not be happi-er. The store, near the intersectionwith Franklin Corner Road, re-opened Saturday after beingclosed since Hurricane Irenedumped three feet of waterthrough the entire store Aug. 28.

We even saw dead fish inhere, co-owner Beth Fallon said.Our dumpster in the back wasout in the front of the store.

The flood waters, she said, wereup to the top of the concrete di-vider on Route 1.

Everything had to be com-pletely redone, Fallon said. Weust had to rip everything out andstart over sheet rock and every-thing.

We had always taken suchpride in the store, and to come inand see it like that was a little dev-astating, she said. We hadbeautiful patio furniture that wasjust destroyed.

The damage was covered by in-surance, and the staff got right towork getting the store in shape forbusiness. The renovated store hasmore open spaces and a cozy fire-place with chairs, reminiscent of

a ski lodge, at the front.It was kind of bittersweet,

Fallon said of the damage, notingthat the store is now bigger andbetter than ever. Im amazed athow much encouragement we gotfrom our customers and the com-munity, she said. Everyone was

so patient and supportive whilewe cleaned up and renovated thestore renovated. Were really priv-ileged to have such loyal cus-tomers.

Those customers, she said,were thrilled when the store re-opened.

You could just tell in theirvoices when they called, Fallonsaid. They were saying Are youopen? Awesome! Were just excit-ed to be back up and running,with more equipment, appareland choices than ever. Its great tosee all of our customers as theygear up for winter.

The winner of three Ski andSnowboard Retailer of the Yearawards from Snowsports Indus-tries America features the latestmodels from Burton, Ride, Rossig-nol, K@, Technica and Salomon.

Fallon said the team of bootfit-ters at the store is certified byMasterFit University, becauseWe constantly strive to makeeach customers skiing and snow-boarding experience the best itcan be.

Nobody can outfit childrenand teens better than our techni-cians, she added. Thats vital tomaking sure they get the most outof the sport in a safe, fun way.

Ski Barn is the largest inde-

pendently owned winter andsports patio furniture retail chainin the Northeast. The Paramus-based location began as a singlelocation in 1970, and has sincegrown to include locations inWayne and Eatontown, in addi-tion to the Lawrenceville store.

Atlantic City, a struggling destination town

They thought gambling couldslow down the deterioration andbring Atlantic City back to its for-

mer glory as Atlantic Citys play-ground, Pergament said.

In 1974, Steven Perskie, then amember of the General Assemblyrepresenting Atlantic County,wrote and sponsored an amend-ment to allow casinos anywherein the state. The amendment, ifapproved, would have allowedcasinos to be run by the state, Per-skie said. He said the referendumwas overwhelmingly defeated.

So, it was back to the drawingboard.

By 1976, Perskie had intro-duced a referendum to amend thestates constitution to allow pri-vately run casinos in AtlanticCity. The referendum passed and

the Casino Control Act wassigned to establish the CasinoControl Commission.

In 1976, casinos in Atlantic Citywere a victory for the region, Per-skie said.

We were acting on the behalfof businesses in Atlantic Citythat were dying. We were notlooking at that time to get philo-sophical about casinos, we wereputting people from Atlantic Cityto work, Perskie said.

In 1978, Resorts opened as the

first casino hotel in Atlantic City.Today, Atlantic City has 11

more casinos than it did morethat 30 years ago. But in recenthistory, the casino industry isshowing it doesnt always haveluck on its side.

The casino industry hit itspeak in July 2005, when casinos

grossed a $504.8 million win, ac-cording to figures published bythe state Casino Control Commis-sion.

Five years later, in July 2010,casinos reported a $286.8 millionwin, according to the NJCCC, adecrease of 11.1 percent over thesame month in July 2009.

The same story has plagued At-lantic City casinos over the pastfew years.

And the economy isnt the onlything casinos have to contendwith. This summer, casinos shutdown operations for three days inthe wake of Hurricane Irene, astorm that slammed the EastCoast and caused the struggling

industry to lose millions.The Division of Gaming En-forcement reports casinos won$2.6 billion during the first ninemonths of 2011, which is down by7.8 percent from the same periodin 2010.

Theres no doubt casinos havechanged Atlantic City. In part twoof this series, well take a morein-depth look at how casinos havefared through the challengingeconomic climate and how theyplan to do something about it.

B

y now, the votes have been

counted and, barring a really,

really close election, the re-

sults are known. The winners will

take their positions in the near future,

and, if they were incumbents, contin-

ue along the same path. If they are

newcomers, anticipate some new ideas

and changes in direction.

If you learned about the candidates

and then cast an informed vote, con-

gratulate yourself. You played an im-

portant role in our republic the

basic role, if you will. We elect repre-

sentatives to carry out the will of the

voters. Yesterday, voters made their

thoughts known.

Now, however, comes the follow-

through or lack of follow-through

on the part of those who received the

most votes.

During every campaign, promises

are made. Goals are set. Priorities are

determined. Candidates are elected

largely on what they tell the voters

they will do if voters give them the job.

They now have the job. Lets make

sure they deliver on those campaign

promises.

Your job, as a voter and a resident, is

to not walk away now and wait for the

next election. Your job now is to pay

attention to those people who are

about to take office. Are they doing

what they said they would do? Or, did

they forget about all of the promises

they made? Did their commitment to

public service carry on past the time

the polls closed?

Over the coming days, weeks,

months and years, those elected to

public office will have a chance to ei-

ther deliver for their constituents, or

not.

Its your job to pay attention, call

them when they fail and, if necessary,

vote them out the next time theyre up

for election.

The votes are inYouve voted, but your work isnt over

Will they or wont they?

The votes are counted. Now well seeif those elected yesterday followthrough on their campaign promises.

Theft, extortion, counterfeitOfficial stole from

firefighters widowsA former fire commissioner from Hazlet

has admitted stealing $30,000 in death ben-efits from the widows of his own dead fire-fighters, according to the Monmouth Coun-ty Prosecutors Office.

Anthony Ciavarro, 45, pleaded guilty re-cently before Monmouth County SuperiorCourt Judge Francis P. DeStefano to theftand fraud charges.

Prosecutors say Ciavarro oversaw theFire District Benefits Program as part ofhis duties as commissioner. At his pleahearing, Ciavarro admitted raking in the$30,000 from July through October 2009,money that should have gone to the wid-ows.

He also said he submitted forged docu-ments to the insurance company, makinghimself the beneficiary for many of hisfirefighters policies.

Ciavarro was arrested on June 17 of thisyear.

He faces sentencing on Feb. 24, when

prosecutors will recommend a prison termof five years, as part of his plea agreement.The former commissioner will be ineligi-ble for parole for the first two years.

Hes also required to make full restitu-tion.

The men were part of an alleged crimi-nal enterprise that demanded cash for bet-ter jobs at the Port of New York and New

ing the Harlem Renaissance andthe ideals of Martin Luther KingJr.

The residency, he said, is divid-ed into four five-day parts: Astudy of the works of the HarlemRenaissance, lessons in love oflanguage and free-writing expres-sion, Poetry Out Loud, in whichthe students will study voice anddramatics in poetry, and a re-hearsal for the Jan. 13, 2012 cele-bration concert at which each stu-dent will read two selected poemsto musical accompaniment froma jazz band.

We are really going to take itto the next level, then, saidDixon, a native Philadelphian,who trained at Freedom Theatreand the Philadelphia Universityof the Arts, as well as Temple

Universitys Full Circle Improvi-sational Troupe.He said the students will figure

out which background music bestaccompanies the reading of theirpoems during the Jan. 13 concert.

These are professional musi-cians in the band, so whatever thestudents decide, they can play it,he said.

Dixons work has been featuredin such publications as AfricanVoices, The Phylaxis and EssenceMagazine. He is the recipient ofthe Phylaxis Societys Excellencein Literature award, as well as theJohn G. Lewis Medal of Excel-lence for Art.

These kids are so advanced intheir writing abilities as a whole,its uncanny, he said. This is re-ally a very, very special group ofstudents.

Those students, he said, areteaching him as he teaches them.

Its a classroom for them, butits also a classroom for me, hesaid. Im incorporating what Ilearn from them into my ownwork.

He especially loves when stu-dents approach him for guidance.

Thats why Im here, he said.That is so great. I am really en-oying this.

He added that he is having awonderful time bringing what hefeels is the lost oral aspect of poet-ry back into the schools.

Poetry was designed to be spo-ken out loud, he said. The oralaspect has kind of disappeared.

This is a wonderful opportu-nity for the students in the Acade-

my of Arts and Humanities, saidJonathan Dauber, Lawrence HighUpper School principal. Work-ing with Mr. Dixon will be an en-lightening, fun and relevant expe-rience.

Senior Abel McDaniels indeedfinds the program a valuable ex-perience.

I really like working withsomeone who is actually a profes-sional talking about what weshould be getting out of the poet-ry, he said.

The Artist-in-Residence Pro-gram is through a partnership be-tween the New Jersey State Coun-cil on the Arts, a Partner Agencyof the National Endowment forthe Arts, and a consortium madeup of arts Horizons and YoungAudiences New Jersey.

This program provides NewJersey schools with long-termartist residencies. The program ismade possible through state ap-propriations to the New JerseyState Council on the Arts as wellas funding from the National En-dowment for the Arts and theGeraldine R. Dodge Foundation.
