The Nutcracker Ballet is one of the many traditions of the holi-day season. This year DanielleCesanek, a sophomore at SenecaHigh School, will be performingin the ballet put on by South Jer-sey Ballet. This will be the secondyear Cesanek has danced withthe ballet.

“This will be my third yeardoing the Nutcracker with theSouth Jersey Ballet, but I onlyjoined the studio last year,” Ce-sanek said. “This year I will beplaying the snow queen, which isthe second lead role.”

Cesanek has been doing balletsince she was 3 and has dancedwith many different ballet com-panies and in many different pro-ductions.

“My mom put me and myother two sisters in ballet and Iloved it,” Cesanek said. “I alwaysloved it since I was a kid. I’m theonly one that’s still dancing out of all my sisters.”

Cesanek started out at Today’sDance Center in Medford andthen joined various summer pro-grams at different ballet compa-nies. Last summer she attendedthe summer intensive program

in Chicago with the Joffrey Bal-let.

At South Jersey Ballet, anyoneis able to audition, but the pro-ductions mostly have dancerswho are part of the company. Toprepare for the show the dancerspractice five to six times a weekdoing various skills and tech-niques.

“When you are little, you dobasic ballet; as you get older theclasses become more specific,”Cesanek said. “When you are 11or 12 you start doing point, whichare the point shoes. If you dopoint before that age you canhave a foot injury. Once you startdoing point, which is a lot harder,you transfer your techniques youhave already learned.

“For the play we do a modernclass, which strengthens our coreby doing Pilates. We build ourstamina by running the routineover and over in rehearsals.”

The Nutcracker Ballet willtake place Dec. 16, 17 and 18 at theVoorhees Middle School. For tick-et information call 856-309-8282.

“The South Jersey Ballet is dif-

ferent because many peoplethink the lead dancers are profes-sional dancers and they’re not,they’re girls that attend theschool” Cesanek said. “We train

At last week’s Shamong Town-ship Committee meeting, thecommittee voted to purchase aFord F-450 truck for $48,000 for the

township. The township will bondfor the purchase of the truck.

“We are able to borrow themoney cheaply because of lowand extremely competitive inter-est rates,” Mayor Jon Shevelew

said. “Instead of taking themoney out, we decided to bond.”

The township has also ap-proved a shared service with Eve-sham. The townships will share aconflict judge and video court.Shamong will get to use Eve-

sham’s video court and Eveshamwill get to use Shamong’s conflict

judge. The agreement will savethe townships up to a few thou-sand dollars.

it’s really just a great time,” Ce-sanek added. “I did ‘Swan Lake’before, but ‘The Nutcracker’ ismy favorite.”

Cesanek says she definitelysees ballet in her future.

Burlington County SurrogateJudge George T. Kotch will be per-forming wedding ceremonies atthe historic Smithville Mansionin Eastampton on Friday, Nov. 11.The ceremonies will begin on the11th hour of the 11th day of the11th month.

The history of the SmithvilleMansion and the surroundinggrounds and annex buildingsreaches back to 1776 when it waspurchased by Solomon South-wick.

After changing hands in 1831 toJonathan E. and Samuel Shreve,the village eventually becameknown as Shreveville. HezekiahBradley Smith purchased thetown in 1865 at which time it wasrenamed for its new owner. De-scendants of the Smith family oc-cupied the mansion until 1962.The Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders acquired theland and buildings in 1975 for thepurpose of developing it as thecounty’s first park. TheSmithville Mansion, the annexand the village are listed on theNew Jersey and National Regis-ters of Historic Places. This is aculturally rich and beautiful loca-tion for county residents and all

visitors alike to enjoy with thehistoric buildings and surround-ing well-manicured grounds toexplore. It is truly an ideal loca-tion for weddings and a great pho-tographic opportunity.

Couples interested in schedul-ing their wedding ceremony for

this event will need to obtain amarriage/civil union licensefrom the municipality in whicheither party resides. There is a 72-hour waiting period to obtain thelicense once the couple completesthe application. Interested cou-ples should contact the office 265-5235 to reserve a time slot as alimited number of wedding cere-monies will be performed.

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 theirthoughts 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. Let’s 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.

It’s your job to pay attention, call

them when they fail and, if necessary,vote them out the next time they’re up

for election.

Conferences, Gottfried, Sweeney, pitbullParent/teacher conferences:What are they really saying?As parent/teacher conferences quickly

approach, parents and teachers are both alittle anxious. After all, it’s usually the oneand only time parents get to talk to theirchild’s teacher alone and solely about theirchild, and it’s the teacher’s opportunity todiscuss the successes and failures a childmight be experiencing. Yes, I said failures.It’s hard to swallow sometimes but chil-dren do fail. Why they failed or are failingis the important point to focus on.

Teachers are told to always start with apositive. After all, teachers should be rec-ognizing and teaching to students’strengths. When you are in a conferenceand the teacher has not mentionedstrengths your child may possess, as theparent, you need to make a point of askingfor them to talk about it. If you have al-ready been in contact with your child’steacher, writing a list of questions or con-cerns before you go into the conference is

also a worthwhile idea. Let’s face it folks,teachers usually have their own agendaduring a conference. More often than not,teachers have to fill out a “conferencesheet” as documentation of having metand what transpired – things that were dis-cussed, recommended (both behaviorallyand academically) and an explanation of the child’s report card.

Stephen Sweeney stilldines out as a Freeholder

The president of the state senate is re-portedly still dining out on the re-electionfund for his former job.

Democratic Sen. Stephen Sweeney is

still taking people out to political dinnersand charging it to his old Sweeney for Free-holder account, even though he quit theGloucester County freeholders in Decem-ber, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Since leaving the freeholders on Dec. 31,2010, Sweeney has spent from the account,giving away some as political donations,while also spending $765 for cigars atGreentree Tobacco in Sewell, $1,117.95 for adinner at the Prime Rib in Washington and$113.35 for dinner at Filomena’s in Dept-ford.

With these and other outings, he spentmore than $12,000 just on political dinners.

Jeffrey Brindle, executive director of thestate Election Law Enforcement Commis-

sion, did not express any particular con-cern about this when speaking with the In-quirer. Former officeholders often main-tain their old campaign accounts afterthey’ve left office, he said. It’s fine, as longas these were political dinners, not person-al.

Man lifts woman over fence,dodges pitbull, saves a life

A young man in Seabrook had just aheck of a time saving his neighbor’s life re-cently – an effort that involved lifting an in-

jured woman over a high fence just to way-lay a pitbull, according to The News of Cumberland County.

The problem for 25-year-old MarquisHart was to help Kazuo Kobayashi, an eld-erly, disabled resident who had fallen in hishome, cracking his head and gettingpinned under his wheelchair.

Unfortunately, the front door had lockedwhen Kobayashi’s wife had run outside ina panic looking for help, and the window

wouldn’t open. So Hart climbed a fenceinto the yard to reach the backdoor.

This, of course, is where the pitbull waswaiting for him.

Editor’s Note: This is the second story in a series about the rise and fall of Atlantic City’s casinos. Thisweek, we’ll focus on how the econo-my has thwarted casino revenues.

In the third part of the series,

we’ll explore what the destinationtown is doing to reinvent itself,what the vision is for Atlantic Cityand how it plans to get there.

Imagine what Atlantic Citywould look like without casinos.

Well, at one point in time, At-lantic City was simply a scenicshore for the wealthy to retreatfrom urban life. But with thedawn of affordable transporta-tion options and the rise of thesuburbs and shopping malls, peo-ple had little need to travel far toget what they needed.

By the 1970s, Atlantic Cityneeded a plan to get the strug-gling shore destination out of an

economic slump.In 1976, voters responded to theplea for help by passing a referen-dum to allow privately run casi-nos to operate in Atlantic City.

In 1978, Resorts opened as thefirst casino hotel in Atlantic City,opening the floodgates for billionsof dollars in casino, hotel, retailand restaurant investment alongthe famed boardwalk.

More than two decades later,it’s no secret that Atlantic City

needs another plan to help revi-talize the struggling resort desti-nation.

Dr. Israel Posner, executive di-rector of the Lloyd D. LevensonInstitute of Gaming, Hospitalityand Tourism at the RichardStockton College of New Jersey

has been studying casinos sincetheir inception in the late 70s.

Posner, who wrote “CasinoGaming in Atlantic City: A Thir-ty Year Retrospective,” said hethinks two factors have con-

tributed to Atlantic City’s decline– the economy and competition.

“The industry hit its peak in

2006. And in the next four or fiveyears, obviously the recession hascaused tremendous turbulence inthe markets,” Posner said. “Thenthere was the emergence of com-petition. By 2011, you have casi-nos within a short drive that werenot around prior to 2000.”

The numbers don’t lie.The economy has plagued At-

lantic City’s casinos in recentyears. Things were good, though,before they got worse.

In July 2005, the casinosgrossed the highest amount of win in the history of AtlanticCity, with $504.8 million, accord-ing to figures released by theCasino Control Commission,

which regulated and reportedcasino winnings until February2011.

The following year was alsokind to the casino industry, de-spite a three-day shutdown inJuly, which was a result of theLegislature’s failure to adopt abudget. That year, revenues rose 4percent to a record $5.2 billion, ac-cording to Casino Control Com-mission figures.

But by 2007, things were begin-ning to change. March was theonly month of positive revenuefor casinos, closing the year witha 5.7 percent decline in revenue.

In 2008, according to CasinoControl Commission figures, theindustry dropped 7.6 percent in

revenue. And by 2009, casinoswere reporting losses in revenueeach month, according to theCasino Control Commission.

As of September 2011, casinoshave experienced loses in revenuefor 37 straight months. And therecent hurricane hasn’t made

things any easier.Hurricane Irene slammed the

East Coast and shut down thecasinos for three days in August,causing the struggling industryto lose millions.

Winnings in August 2011 fell19.8 percent to 278.8 million. Andeven though casinos reportedlosses in August 2010, casinos stillgrossed 347.5 million in winningsthat month.

Posner said the economy hastaken a toll on casinos, but saidincreased competition is also toblame.

Atlantic City was the longtimehub for gambling in the region,until three casinos popped up

near Philadelphia. In 2007, Har-rah’s Casino & Racetrack openedin Chester. In 2009, ParxCasino/Philadelphia Park Race-track opened in Bensalem. Andlast year, Philadelphia added theSugarHouse Casino.

Even a couple hours to thenorth of Philadelphia, there arethree casinos located in Bethle-hem, Wilkes-Barre and thePoconos.

This geographical competition,Posner said, is causing AtlanticCity and the state to reevaluate

just what kind of destination itwants to be.

“There’s the conveniencegamer, who basically gambleswhere it’s convenient. This is

forcing Atlantic City to shift itsfocus from gambling to hospitali-ty,” Posner said.

In Las Vegas, he added, 55 to 60percent of revenues come fromnon-gaming outlets, such as shop-ping, restaurants and entertain-ment. Posner estimates that

about 10 to 20 percent of AtlanticCity’s revenues come from non-gaming sources, but those num-bers are growing, which he says,is good for city’s future.

This year, Gov. Christie hasmade a few noticeable changes tothe casino industry in the hopesof revitalizing Atlantic City.

On Feb. 1, Christie signed BillS-12, which shifted the day-to-dayregulation of all casino opera-tions from the Casino ControlCommission to the Division of Gaming Enforcement.

The Casino Control Commis-sion, an independent agency that,officials say, is in, but not of, theDepartment of Treasury, is re-

sponsible for initial casino licens-ing matters and licensing key em-ployees such as executives andmanagers, said Lisa Spengler,public information specialist forthe Division of Gaming Enforce-ment.

The Casino Control Commis-sion also reports that the laweliminates the requirement thatthe organization provides inspec-tors and agents at all times at a

around Atlantic City’s gamingand tourism economy, make it apremier destination resort andstrengthen its role as an engineof economic growth and job cre-ation for the state and region,”Christie said.

One of Christie’s goals to re-vive Atlantic City is the imple-mentation of the Atlantic CityTourism District, which waslaunched in April by the CRDA.
