Mailed direct to buyers of business services & products FORMER TV-29 WEATHERMAN’S SAGA TO BE PRESENTED AT TRIAL John Bolaris, the much maligned former TV-29 weather news personality, may gain redemption in several months. Bolaris gained a degree of notoriety when he allegedly was drugged and scammed of $43,000 by two women he met at a Miami, Florida bar over two years ago. Just recently a Florida night club owner, Alec Simchuk, was arrested in connection with Bolaris and other cases. Simchuk allegedly used attractive women to become friendly with unsuspecting John Bolaris men frequenting night clubs, placing them in a position whereby the girls would gain their victims credit cards, and then run up huge purchases. Bolaris allegedly had his American Express card charged with more than $43,000. Simchuk is also alleged to have ties to an Eastern European crime ring, according to a report by Daily News columnist, Dan Gross. It was the FBI who apprehended Simchuk. Trial is scheduled for Simchuk around Alec Simchuk October 9, 2012 in Federal Court in Miami. Bolaris is scheduled to testify. “I’ve been waiting a long time for this,” he told Gross. “Life’s been hell for two years and I can’t wait for justice to finally be served.” Continued on page 3 Marketing Mgr. Great at Catching, Plus Pitching — for IGM A consumer marketing manager for Interstate General Media, the new corporate owner of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News, and Philly.com, was the center of attention on a recent ESPN’s “SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays” national broadcast. She is Genevieve Haney of Levittown who is also is a twoyear Veteran Phillies ballgirl. It was her catch of a hardhit, line drive at Citizens Park during a Phillies game recorded on TV that produced national oohs and aahs for her prowess. Her reaction to catching the ball, which she back-handed, was instantaneous — and professional. It wasn’t a fluke. Haney played third base softball for four years at Hofstra, a Division 1 university in New York.

See pg. 5 It’s a common public relations procedure to have Philadelphia City Council issue a proclamation commending a company, or individual. City Council also makes declarations announcing a special week, or special event. Those proclamations, and commendations for years have been processed by a City Council secretary, Nancy Gonzalez. She makes $60,000/year. And, just recently, she was arrested. She was arrested for allegedly stealing from a destitute 88-year-old woman. Her take, according to published reports, was almost $25,000 from the senior citizen’s Social Security checks. Gonzalez has been on the Philadelphia City payroll for 32 years. Daily News Reporter Gets the Point — Gunpoint! A Daily News reporter was right on the scene of a gun-point holdup recently. Phillip Lucas, a staff writer and crime reporter, was recently in the area of 46th Street between Chestnut and Market Streets at 10:30AM when he was approached by a boy. The boy, later identified as being 13-years-old- -13!- -pointed a revolver at Lucas and demanded money. Lucas told his assailant he wasn’t carrying any cash. The boy turned away, walked away, and within 24 hours was arrested. Lucas wrote a bylined article about the incident for the Daily News. The alleged felon turned out to have been arrested twice previously for robbery. His age was verified as being 13. Thirteen! (Lucas can be reached at 215-854-5914 or [email protected].)

This fall the two political parties will spend about $6 billion on messages aimed, primarily, at a small group of people – undecided voters. I can’t conceive of being an “undecided” voter – or pretty much of an “undecided” anything. I am one of those people who may be wrong, monumentally wrong, but who is never in doubt. I can definitely respect your personal or political preference, as long as you have one. My biggest problems have always been with people – particularly leaders – who waited until the last possible minute to see which way to jump. A word like “trust” never enters into their decision-making. But, that’s just me. There are still people out there who can’t decide whom they will vote for, or if they will vote, at all. I’m sure you might even know some of them. They might even make you as crazy as they make me. In a weird way this really resonates with me because I know so many people who have spent their professional lives also trying to convert or convince undecideds – buy my product or service; use me; believe in me; try my store, or restaurant, or magazine, or come to my school. (Editor’s Note: They’re called “advertisers”) No matter how hard you work, or how many customers you thoroughly satisfy – which is exactly what most successful people in business do every day – you will still be spinning your wheels chasing after the undecideds. And, you will never be able to truly win over those undecideds, at least not for long. Marketing To Determine Future If you look at it from this point-of-view, all marketing, including advertising and public relations, is about trying to capture those undecideds. The future of your business, or at least your profits, might depend on the undecideds and in this election the future of the whole country might depend on them. Who Are The Undecideds? Elizabeth Kolbert, a blogger with The New Yorker magazine, tried to come up with a good estimate of how many people this “undecided” label really includes. The best person she went to was former Bill Clinton adviser Paul Begala, who pops up quite Mike Mallowe a bit as a talking head on cable news. This is what Begala had to say recently in Newsweek: “When you factor out the undecideds in securely red or blue states (since their votes won’t change the Electoral College results), the election comes down to ‘around 4 percent of the voters in six states.’” “I did the math so you won’t have to,” Begala told her. “Four percent of the presidential vote in Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, New Mexico, and Colorado is 916,643 people. That’s it. The American president will be selected by fewer than half the number of people who paid to get into a Houston Astros home game last year.’” As you might expect, something else the undecideds have in common is a stupefying lack of basic knowledge regarding current events, politics or even fundamental civics. Does that translate to the undecideds among us also being the stupidest among us? You don’t have to answer that, and neither do I. But the question does keep coming up in these analysis pieces and based on the kind of group profiles they project, I do not think you would want any undecideds doing surgery on you or your loved ones. People who take umbrage at this frequently confuse independent voters with undecided voters. Independents have often given up on both political parties after belonging to one or both of them. Many independents vote regularly and know all about the issues. My apologies to any touchy independents. But we aren’t talking about independent voters here – we are talking about people who are so zombie-like that they truly cannot figure out which of two clearly defined candidates they like best. Spending Marketing Dollars on the Undecideds The amount of money being spent trying to get through to the undediceds is astonishing. Before bothering to do much research, I calculated that about a billion dollars each sounded right for the two candidates. Boy, was I wrong. The OpenSecrets.org, a blog that pushes for good government in Washington, recently quoted one of their experts on the amount of money that will be spent, including advertising, media buys of all sorts, public relations, social media, direct mail, volunteers, and even flower arrangements at fundraising dinners: “Although a lot of money still remains to be raised and spent, the data already show that we’re on track to break the extraordinary, record-setting sums spent in 2008,” said Sheila Krumholz, Continued on next page Have available at your business or organization.

At a minimum, we’ll come close. More important than the total spent, the real difference this cycle is how great a portion of that money will come from purportedly independent, often secretive groups.” If you like your wars fought largely on television, then this political season is meant for you. Thus far, President Obama has heavily out-spent Mitt Romney, but Romney has an advantage in the total amount of money raised. He’s waiting for big buys closer to the election.

He would like to renew his career in this region. this year – will be the TV advertising cash that’s spent on the ESPN Monday Night NFL game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New Orleans Saints. The next day is, of course, Election Day. The irony in that is compelling: Obama and Romney come into this election as two severely wounded candidates, regardless of what else transpires between now and November 6. While the candidates are bombarding us with unrelentingly negative messages, the two teams playing that night will be equally injured: the Saints will still be reeling as a result of the league-imposed penalties stemming from Bounty-Gate. The Eagles, as a team and an organization, will still be trying to come to terms with the tragic death of coach Andy Reed’s son. As long as you like your melodrama thick, you’ll be getting big doses of it. And, just in case you are wondering who is mainly responsible for all that contributing, the answer is the same for both parties. The primary givers usually belong to some combination of the financial, insurance and real estate industries. Now, you may be thinking, but aren’t those the people who wrecked the economy back in 2008? The answer is yes – and they are contributing generously to Republicans and Democrats, alike. So, it looks like there are those who have come out of the recession by landing on their feet.

The Philadelphia Regional Business/Marketing Monthly September 2012 Advertising/Communications Times The Philadelphia Regional Business/Marketing Monthly Page 7 Page 8 Advertising/Communications Times September 2012 My Latest Medical Adventure The growing list of medical and health care professionals I see during my getting older — but not THAT old — process, was the subject of one of my recent columns. I reported I was seeing eight different doctors, plus supplementary healthcare providers. In the column, I poo-pooed the time and money spent, because I’m in good health. Now the visit-the-doctor list is, unbelievably, growing. For Tests. Let me tell you of an MRI test my family physician recently ordered for me. It was to determine if numbness in my feet was caused by diabetic type-two neuropathy, or as my general practitioner said, “possibly a problem at the bottom of your spine.” Spinal problem? Spinal problem?? I have no problem with my spine. “Ridiculous,” I said. I told my wife, Sandy, “This is more waste of time.” But she encouraged me to do it. “It will tell you,” she said. “Don’t you want to know? “I know there’s no problem with my spine,” but I’ll do it,” — So, two weeks later, giving up another half-day of doing business (which I like, and am good at), off I went to the MRI/ Imaging building. There was the usual delay of checking in, being in line, and surprisingly, after only a short 25-minute wait I was ushered to the clothing-changing area, and on to the MRI machine. I slid in…(It made me feel like I was in a coffin)…the headphones were applied… radio station WOGL came on with music of the 70’s (my choice) the MRI’s loud electrical noise started. I closed my eyes and pretended to myself not to be there. In less then two minutes, the noise, the music stopped, and I was pulled out. “That was quick,” I said. There was a reason for the short observation. Laura, the technician told me: “We can’t do you.” “Why?” “The machine picked up metal near your groin,” she answered. “Do you know what it is,” she asked. I have a, well, unusual, spontaneous, sense of humor, “Probably, from the days when I was a professional sword swallower,” I told her. Actually, I knew it was a filter put in 16 years ago to prevent blood clots. (There have been none.) “Well, she said, “you have to get an x-ray to see what it is.” So, off I went to the X-ray department (Fortunately in the same building, or I wouldn’t have bothered). Over two hours later, having hit the bottom of the x-ray appointee’s list, the x-ray, was done. The exam took only 15 minutes, counting the time of changing clothes, again, for the hospital wraps. Yep, it was the filter. Back to the MRI. There I was told, “We can’t do an MRI on you!” “Huh?,” I queried, “why?” “Well, the radiologist fears the MRI machine will heat up the metal, I could get so hot it would burn inner flesh and tissue.” Not good (an understatement). I saw myself in intensive care, or a real coffin. That was it! Goodbye MRI.

Not spinal. So, all for naught. And that’s the way it goes as one gets older… But it’s better than the alternative.To comment on this column, for better or worse, contact Joe Ball at adcomtimes@ aol.com, or call 484-562-0060 — “especially if you have an interest in advertising”.

(609-272-7721) has been a ritual for my family for almost 20 years. Proprietors Chuck and Joan Armstrong always greet us by name, and make us feel special. I remember conversations I’ve had with Chuck where we have discussed mutual hiring experiences, family situations, food (especially availability of soft shell crabs). Crabs are a main staple at East Bay. Hard Shells. Alaskan King Crab. Snow. You name it. They have it. And the selection of serving styles is plentiful. Hard Shells are cooked Maryland style. Jumbo lump crabmeat is sautéed in a home made marinade sauce with heavy cream and parmesan. There is crab bisque soup, snow crab legs… go to their Internet site, www.EastBayCrab. com, and see for yourself. The restaurant also offers a wide variety of traditional meats and seafood. Their slow roasted prime ribs by itself, and or in combination with a choice of snow crab legs, stuffed shrimp on crab cake is $28. All dinners come with a courtesy, super salad, and continuous loaves of freshlybaked bread. The greeters and servers remind one of the nicest young people within your own neighborhood. Evenings often host special events. For example, every Friday there is DJ Karaoke. Lots of free parking. Bar. Credit cards. Reservations are welcome, but not necessary. Open year round. Group and banquet facilities available. My personal opinion: Go once. You’ll be going back and back. As we do. ~JB Summer Shore Restaurants For 20 years — It’s Still The Shore Diner SHORE DINER STAFF MEMBERS pictured (L to R) Yanni Stratis, Demetri Stratis, Elena Motalkina, George Stratis, and Patty Cano.

Elliott Gould, Flyers Steak House “Max” At Trump Plaza Has Quality People In trying to get an impression of an upscale restaurant, sometimes it’s more than the facility. It’s the people working and managing there. Such was the case on a recent visit to “Max’s” the upscale steakhouse inside Trump Plaza, on the boardwalk at Mississippi Ave., Atlantic City, N.J. I have a grandson named “Max”, so the selection of a restaurant named “Max” was a magnet for me to visit. The facility has the looks and atmosphere one would expect of a longtime, quality casino-hotel- restaurant- - a place to be served royally- -and seen. (Side note: I don’t think Donald Trump eats there. They don’t serve crow!). The interior and ambiance of the restaurant is sort of classic Old English. The menu offers what you would expect. Quality beef of top traditional cuts. Veal. Lamb Chops. A smattering of seafood, especially lobster and crab. (It is Atlantic City.) Pricing? Do I really have to report? Bring money — or a casino comp! Typically, a three course meal, with wine could be $75 to $100 per person, plus tax and tip. hockey team members, and Governors.

Always accommodating. Revel’s “Central” Restaurant’s Lunch Staff A Positive The Inquirer gave the major restaurants at the new Atlantic City hotel/casino Revel, 500 Boardwalk, a colorful two-page news spread earlier this season. One item that caught my attention was a $147.00 price for a select steak. I don’t think any dinner steak is worth $147.00 real money. Casino comps are a different matter. Anyway, I was in Margate, N.J., and it was a heat-suffocating weekday afternoon. I’m not a beach person. My wife, Sandy, is not a casino person. So I was surprised when she — out of the blue — said to me: “Let’s see what the new Revel is like”. I agreed. In about two seconds. I enjoy the slot machines, but rarely play. I know it will cost. Anyway, we went. It was just past standard lunch hours. We certainly were not (emphasize not) going to a highpriced steak restaurant at 2:45P.M. — or at $147 per steak. We found ourselves at Central Restaurant, where the menu has standard fare. I ordered the clam chowder ($14). The portion was small. Some small clams were offered — in the shell — on a separate plate. With candor, I’ve had better clam chowder at Ruby’s in Ardmore, and at about half the price. The Philadelphia Regional Business/Marketing Monthly My wife ordered their chicken burger ($14). The portion was generous. She enjoyed it. And it came with a salad at no additional cost. Good deal. Our waiter, John Gowdy, was quite personable. Upon my questioning, he told us he recently graduated from West Virginia University, and was enrolled in the Law School at Columbia University. Impressive. He wants to be active, eventually, in politics. Not as an office holder, but as a campaign manager. He already has the attributes: eye contact and a firm handshake. He also arranged for some bread and butter for me (on my request), which is not included for luncheon guests. The other staff members, the bus boys and seaters, were also efficient and pleasant. In short: Nice…Overpriced, in my opinion — but it is a hotel-casino. And that has to be expected. Other Lunch Items Central Restaurant also offers seven sandwiches, including a lobster burger at $30, main courses include salmon, chicken, steak (about $23 - $27) sides of vegetables a la carte at $8.00, and more. So, with a non-alcoholic drink lunch can easily be $50./person.
